time trotn 'his destructive grasp,—or whether re-established again in the mockery of despotism and of power by foreign bayonets, the bearers of which dictate to him the very language in which he is to proclaim his own baseness, pro fligacy, and falsehood ! When the Constitutional principle shall have regained the ascendancy (a consummation which sooner or later must arrive), we shall have this man again declaring, with the utmost solemnity, his attachment to liberty, and boldly averring that hispresent acts are all com ptilsory, and ought to be attributed, not to him self, but to the violence imposed upon him by the Duke of ANGOULEME! " SPANIARDS. " It being the first care of a King to promote the felicity of his subjects, and that felicity being incompatible with uncertainty respecting the future fate of the nation and of individuals, I ;hasten to calm the apprehensions and anxiety which might be produced by the fear that Despot. ism should enthrone itself, or that the rancour •of a Party should prevail. " United with the nation, I have incurred with •l►er the last perils of the war; but the imperious law of necessity cotnpels me to put an end to them. In the affliction of the present circumstances, my powerful yoke alone can drive away from the kingdom vengeance and persecutions ; a wise •and just Government alone can unite all wishes, and my presence in the camp of the enemy alone can dispel the horrors which threaten the Ga. ditanean Island—its loyal and well-deserving in habitants—and the many distinguished Spaniards who have 'sought refuge in its bosom. 44 Determined, therefore, to put an end to the disasters of war, I have resolved to quit this place to-morrow ; but before carrying that reso. lution into effect, I wish to publish the senti ments of my heart, in the following Declara tion : " Ist. I declare, of my own free and sponta neous will, and promise under the faith and secu rity of my Royal word, that if it should be ne cessary to make any alteration in the existing political institutions of the Monarchy, I shall adopt a Government that shall insure the com plete felicity of the nation, and guarantee the personal security, the property, and the civil liberty of Spaniards. " idly. In like manner, I promise freely and spontaneously, and determine to bury all the past in general, complete, and absolute obli vion, without any exception whatever, in order that tranquillity, confidence, and union, so neces sary to the common welfare, and _so anxiously panted after by my paternal heart, may be re• Sstablished amongst all Spaniards. 46 3dly. In like manner I promise that what• -ever be the alterations which may take place, the Debts and obligations contracted by the Nation and by my Government under the existing System, shall be always recognised, as I now recognize them. " 4thly. I also promise and assure that all Generals, Chiefs, Officers, Serjeants, and heads of the Army and the Fleet, who have maintained themselves up to this , time under the present sys. tern of Government, in any part of the Peninsula, shall preserve their rank, employments, pay and honours. In the same manner shall the rest of the military, civil, and ecclesiastical functionaries .who have followed the Government and the , Cortex, or who depend on the existing system, also preserve their rank, &e.: and those who in consequence of the reforms which may occur shall not be able to retain their places, shall enjoy at least on• half of the pay which they would re ceive if employed. ":ithly. I declare and equally assure that all volunteer Militiamen from Madrid, Seville, or other places, which happen to be in this island, as well as any other Spanish Refugees within its precincts, who are not obliged to remain on ac• count of their situations, shall be allowed to re tire, freely . from hence to their homes, or to transport themselves to any part of the Kingdom which may suit them, with the entire certainty of not being molested at any period whatever for their political conduct or anterior opinions ; and the Militiamen who may want it, shall obtain on their journey , the same assistance as individuals of the permanent army. " All Spaniards of the above-mentioned class, and Foreigners who may wish to quit the king dom shall be at . liberty to do it, and shall ob tain the necessary passports for the countries which may best suit them. Cadiz, Sept. 30, 1823. " FERDINAND." CITY, Twelve o'Clock.—The Bank and Stock Exchange are closed this morning, it being a Holiday ; but the Foreign Market is open, with little business doing.—Spanish Bonds opened at 30-1, and up to this hour are 9.0. --The Expresses from Paris have not brought the French Rentes, owing to its being a strict Holiday in that capital, in commemoration of the death of the Queen of FRANCE.—Colombian, 56f to 574 ; in all other Foreign Securities there is nothing doing. THE TiIEATRES. DRURY•,LANE.—MT. MACREADY last night as sumed the part of Hamlet, a part which he once before performed in London for his own benefit. Mr. MACREADY, from all Ive.ls!ikve heard of him, is a scholar and a gentleman, and as an actor he possesses very respectable talents. We are sorry, therefore, to see him disposed to follow the track of Mr. KEAN, in the adoption , of sad den transitions from high to low tones, and of long and languid pauses.—We cannot, on the whole, consider his Hamlet as a successful per formance, or suitable to the real bent of his his powers. We only presume to speak our own opinions. The public in general must decide on his merits, and allot to him his proper station. — There were many passages which were delivered with energy and effect, but we conceive that Mr. MACREADY IS chiefly calculated for characters of daring or subtle villainy, and in such characters he is well qualified to hold a distinguished rank on the London boards. The rest of the cha racters in this wild but admirable Tragedy were well supported, particularly the Ghost by WAL LACK, Horatio by ARCHER, POIODiOUS by TERRY, Ophelia by Miss Povey, and the Queen by Mrs. GLovza ; and the whole was most agreeably re lieved by the humour of DOWTON, in the chief Grave Digger. COYENT-GARDEN.—The Tragedy of Venice Preserved, one of the best in our language after, and, indeed, a long distance from, the works of our great dramatic Bard, was last night repre sented at this Theatre. The character of Jaffs.r has long been in the hands of Mr. C. KESIDLE, and he is now without a rival in it. He performed with his usual judgment and feeling. Mr. To uma gave an animated and impressive personation of the " fine, gay, bold-faced villain" in Pierre, who deserves a better description, as his object was to rescue his Country from tyranny and Oppres sion. Miss LACY made her first appearance this season, in the part of Beloidera, a part in which she made a powerful Impression on the public in the last. She appears to be, and we understand that she is, very young. It is obvious, however, that she is mature in judgment, and that she acts from the dictates of genuine feel ing. Altogether we know not any actress that can compete with her in this part. She was greeted on her entrance with a degree of ap plause which'skews that the public retain a strong impression of her performances last season, and that she is likely to become one of their established favourites. The following fact is so creditable to the dramatic character of OTWAY, that it deserves to be recorded. The celebrated Dr. MONSEY, one of GARRICK'S ear liest and warmest friends, though unhappily se parated by the officious malice of a common acquaintance, once remarked to GARRICK, in his library, that he had placed the works of OTwAY next >to those of SHAKSPEARE ; and asked if he intended to intimate by this arrangement that he deemed him the next in dramatic merit. The answer of GARRICK wa. t 4 CI certainly .—.../TWAY, as R dramatic Poet, is nearest to SHAKESPEARI: is the power of moving the passions."—Such an answer from the first of actors, and one of the best of judges, must 4 ' out weigh a whole theatre of others," and is a power ful tribute to the author of Venice Preserved, and The Orphan, Witinson, OCT. 1 7.----The weather being fine this morning, his MAJESTY, attended by the usual persons who compose his Suite, rode out in his small phaeton towards the Lodge, in Windsor Great Park.—Lord F. CON YNGIIAN left the Castle this morning. A messenger arrived in town last night, with dispatches from Sir WM. A'Couar. lie came over in the 'Sappho. The Duke of YORK and the Duke of W. LINOTON are OH a visit to the Duke Of RUTLAND, at Cheveley, and attended Newmarket Races on Wednesday last. His MAJESTY, we understand, has given direc tions that all the paintings in the several palaces, respecting naval actions, &c., be forthwith col lected, and presented to the Royal Hospital at Greenwich, for the purpose of forming in that asylum, a gallery, to be entirely devoted to the record of those proud achievements. Prepara tion for the reception of the Royal gift is to be made without delay. Mr. JOHNSTON, late Private Secretary to his Excellency, the Lo an-Li EirgNANT, sailed for England yesterday, (Monday the 13th. inst.) to take his place . as Commissioner at the Board of Stamps: He is Succeeded in the appointment of Private Secretary by COI. SIIAW, who lately ar rived in ,this country ; and who, we believe, was employed in India during the Governor-general ship of the Marquis Wtr,LESLE . Y.—(Dubliti Tree man's Journal.) The remains of the Countess of DARTMOUTH . and her infant son, Lord LtWISTIA3I, arrived on Thursday evening at the fanifly mansion in' 13erkeley•square, from Staf fordsbtre. Yesterday . morning, at eight o'clock, they were re moved for interment m the family vault, in Trinity Church, 111 inori es , in a very private manner, consisting of a hearse, con-, taining the bodies, with six horses i three mourning coaches and four horses, and the family carriage, The chief mourners were, the Earl of TALBOT; and his brother, the Ilan, and Rev, Mr. TALBOT. IMPROVEMENT OF Sour:vv.—Public attention has latterly been much. directed to bettering the condition of the poor, but we can, with confidence, say, that in no part of Ireland has there been more effected within a shOrt period, than in the neighboUrhood of Balthiglass, in the County of Wicklow. There we find that excellent and patriotic Nobleman, the Earl of ALunortouan, devoting all his energies to make his tenantry happy, spending his time and fortune among them, and promoting every object that can tend to improve the condition of the people. Within the last six months an extensive School has been erected--and other buildings are in a state of forwardness, to facilitate public objects. A Bible Society has been formed—and a Ladies' Association, for the purpose of inquiring into, and improving the condition of the peasantry a Savings' Bank has also been established. The entire set forward and most munificently sup ported' and patronised by his Lordship and the Ladies of his family.—(Carlow MorningTost.) FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

Count Ueven had a grand dinner party yesterday, at Ash burham House. GEORGE STEVENS AND .TORN RESIDLE.—To. wards the latter period of his life Mr. Stevens conceived a deep prejudice against Mr. Kemble, and by many mean and puny efforts endeavoured to depreciate his critical readings in Shakspeare's Plays, and professional reputatio►► generally. This celebrated Commentator has devoted an en tire page to a long and laboured note in the play of Hamlet, endeavouring to overturn Kemble's hypothesis with regard to the propriety of a cer tain emphasis in Hamlet's first interview with Horatio, after the latter had seen the Ghost. Horatio having circumstantially detailed to Ham let the appearance of the Ghost, as first seen by Mumllus and Bernardo on their watch, and afterwards by these gentlemen and Horatio, Ham. let replies naturally enough to Horatio," Did no you speak to it my dear friend, my school. fellow and collegian! On which Stevens, after a lengthy dissertation in support of a contrary and, ' as we think, absurd construction, thus concludes his note Be it remembered likewise, that the words are not as lately pronounced on the stage-- ' Did not you speak to it?' but ' Did you not speak to it?' How awkward will the innovated sense appear, if attempted to be produced frotn the passage, as it really stands, in the true copies! Did you not speak to it ?' The emphasis, there fore, should most c e rt a i n l y res t on .vpeuk.”---- Throughout the whole of this note Stephens cun ningly omits to mention Mr. Kerphle's name, not withstanding it is evidently a sly attack of him. Miss IVILsoN will remain two years on the Continent ; after her return from which she will come forward as Prima Donna at the Italian Opera. ORANGEMIx.---Forty_fiVQ thousand nine hun dred and sixty-five Orangemen have subscribed, before Magistrates, to the oath prescribed by the late Act.—( Dublin Correspondent.) The next presentation to the Vicarage of St. Andrews in this Borough, was sold by auction for 6,0504 ( Plymouth Paper.) Count LiontrwLasur, the celebrated Polish dwarf, who has 'recently published his very interesting metnoirs,, would not suffer a copy to be offered , for sale, until he had present ed, in. person, a large paper copy, splendidly bound, to our most g racious Sovereign. The Count, _ . who is snow in his 84th year, an d only 3 feet 3 inches in height, set out from Durham for this purpose. It is unnecessary' to observe, that he was received at Carlton Palace with that dignified kindness which distinguishes the character of his present Ma• jesty. In return for the book, his Majesty pre. seated the Count with a handsome gold watch, chain, and seals.• NA7UAL UISTORY.---We have been lately gratified in = seeing a specimen of that very rare bird, the Waxen Chatterer (Bomlwcivora garrala of Temminck) which was found dead last winter, in a wood at Burton Ball, and has been preserved by R. CLAYTON BUOW NE, Esq.' at Browne's Bill. We are happy at thus having it in our power to record so important an addition to the Irish Fauna. We also h a d an opportunity of being shown, some time since, specimens of those rare visitors of the British Islands, the rose-coloured Ouzel (Pastor r oscus of Tesnrninck) and the European Beleater, (Mh,.. rops apiasier of Lenntre) which were both s h ot within two miles of Wexford, about two winters ago. It were much to be wished that all similar instances of The occurrences of the rarer a n i ma l s of this country should be publicly noticed as th ey are observed, in order that the n a t ura li st m i ght have some encouragement in his researches into that hitherto neglected science, the Zoology of Ireland.--(Carlow Morning Post.) IMPUDENT IMPOVITUE.—Among th e v i s i tors tins season at Buxton, were two pretenders t o not only the titles and estates, but t o t h e per sonal identity of the Duke and Duchess of Bun- Cl'. EMI. They carried it on in style for some time. At length my Lord Duke carried himself off one morning w i t h the eq uipage, and j ust as his Grace began to be missed, the Duchess con trived to become evanescent also. It was a re• markable instance of successfully impudent im- posture.—(Derky Maury) POETRY. STANZAS. Bluw on, thou pitiless north-wind, blow I For my heart is more cold than thy bitterest blast That ever Bath swept o'er the mountain snow, And frozen each ilow'ret and brook as it past ! For the vernal sun will unbind the rill, In silvery currents to wind thro' the mead And the new-born flow'r on the verdant hill Uplift, unblighted, its tender head : But the beam of the summer will never unloose The icy fetters of chill despair, Nor revive the blossoms that youth profuse &rew'd over my path, to briefly fair ! The star of my hope, tho' distant seen, Tho' glimmering faintly, once led me on ; But the cloud of adversity floated between, And the last inspiriting ray is gone. Yet flinger here, like a wandering corpse That inhabits the earth when the soul is fled, While dismally screaming the prey-birds hoarse, Impatient for food, hover o'er its head. For the joys that Society sheds around . Neither lighten my bosom nor brighten my eye ; As Egyptian mummies, in spices bound, Amid odours unscented for ages lie. The tear may glisten on Beauty's cheek ; But it only reminds me of deadlier snot That forbids the eyes for the heart to speak, And its sorrows away with their streams to flow. The smile may curl on the ruby lip, But no sympathy wakes it in mine, when seen ; For those are cold that I lov'd to sip, And the rest seem making my joyless mien. Then rage, ye billows, and rave, ye skies. While J pillow my head on this wave-worn stone, Whence never, oh ! never again may I rise, But expire as I liv'd, unpitied— alone ! ON THE USE OF MONEY. Go, lavish wealth, profusely spent, How little good it leaves behind ; For, like the torrent, where it went Nought hut its ravages you find. Go, hoard it—be a monied fool, Heap gold with never-ceasing care— Your coffers are a stagnant poo l; And none but foulest weeds grow there But his example wise I deem. Who justly gets anti sagely spends: Who, like an ever-running stream, Spreads fruitfulness—yet never ends. 110 W TO DIVIDE A JOURNEY. Two Irishmen coming from Dorking, By bad weather greatly bemted ; From morning till night had been walking, And now were both heartily tired. To Barnet, it seems they were going, And civilly asked for assistance " My friend, we would gladly be knowing " To Barnet how great is the distance ?" " Ten miles," was the answer—one sigh'd, Said the other, "'Tis soon in the reach of us; " You know, Paddy Carey," he cried, " 'Tis only just five miles for each of us." .

Lecds Independent. ) On Wednesday a curious scene was witnessed at Newington, being a general scramble in a branch of the common sewers, by a parcel of navigators, for a numb er o f guineas of the reign of George . the Third, which, by mere accident, were discovered by one of the navigators in the following manner :—The men are employed forming front the sewer an immense drain, and have dug sleep trenches for that purpose. One of the navigators in removing a parcel of gravel and mud, perceived something bright in the earth ; hi' picked it up and showed it to a - comrade workman, who comm.. Ideated the find to twoothers, who pronounced it to be a guinea; and all concurring that where that was found there was a likelihood of more, they proceeded to examine the mould, and others of the workmen observing them ran to the place, and by the time they had arrived 30 or 40 guineas were found. stoutly a geneml scramble con intence d, an d s eve n more were picked up by one man, who expressed himself sit. ti.fied, and moved off to a neighbouring public.house, de- 1 daring he would work no more that day. A equable nreSe among the other navigators, who were not so fortunate, and who demanded " half;" but tfus demand was only laughed at by those who had gained possession of some of the gold. From the date of the coin and other circumstances, it is supposed the gold had been in the g ro un d fo rty years , an d h ad apparently been thrown in or buried loosely by some person, who very likely at a subsequent period lost the clue to the place of the concealment.

The messenger was also intrusted with dispatches to the Governor of Edinburgh Castle--a circumstance which Ira mentioned to one of Monk's servants, while on him journey.

Mr. Allen'e family consists of himself, his wife, a son, aged Minot 23, and two daughters. About half-past one o'clock on 'l'ure day morning, the Misses Allen awoke, and found three strane men standing at the foot of their bed, with lights in their hand,. As Might be expected, the young ladies immediately •began to cry out for assistance, and their cries awoke their brother, itlr. James Allen, who got up, and went to see what WAS the muter- On leaving hie bed-room, he found a man on the st a irc a s e , whom he immediately collared, and eventuelly knocked down the stairs. On hearing the struggle, two of the men came from Misses Allen's room, and one of them struck Mi. James Allen on the head with a fire-shovel, which they had taken'll-otit the kitchen, and cut him very severely ; notwithstendieg which, he made his way to his sisters' room.
