His Majesty made the following answer : " I have received with satisfaction the noble expressions o f friendship from the Emperor, your Sovereign. The part which his Imperial Majesty and his august Allies have taken for the restoration of Spain, and to shorten its disasters, I can- Slat but appreciate. I ant occupied in repairing the evils my People have suffered ; and I confide in Divine Providence to obtain that result, which is all I desire." His Royal highness the Duke of Angoulem e , before he leaves for France, has named Lieut.- General Count Bourmont General-in-Chief of all the French troops which occupy the Penin sula. The Count Bourmont arrived at Madrid on the 14th. The King our Sovereign has testified his regard and pleasure to Count Bourmont, and has deco. rated him with the Grand Cross of the Order of St. Ferdinand. The Gazette of Madrid publishes several Ad dresses to the King from different towns, expres sing their joy at the deliverance of his Majesty. It is now asserted that the King of Spain will . 1 1,nt go to the Escurial before the 25th November, and that, on that day will be opened the Confe rences relative to the situation of Spain. Gene ral Milary, with his family, arrived on the 18th at Perpignan. PROCLABIATION,by the INTENDANT of the ARM Y and PRINCIPALITY of CATALONIA.

Parliament assembled this day, to be further prorogued.—At nearly half after three o'clock the Lord Chan.. cellor, the Earl of Shaftesbury, and Lord St. Helens, took their seats before the Throne as the Lords Commissioners, whereupon the Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod was directed to require the attendance of the Lower House. After the Royal Commission, which was dated the 18th inst., had been read by their Lordships' Assistant Clerk, the Lord Chancellor, by virtue of the same, and in obedience to Iris Majesty's command, now declared that Parliament was pro rogued from this 25th day of November to Tuesday the 3d day of February next, " then to sit and to be holden in our City of *Westminster, as aforesaid." INDIA. 'We have received Calcutta Papers to the sth June, from which the following are extracts: — By a letter from Secrore, in Oude, dated the 10th of May last (says the Indian Gazette), we learn that Mr. Ravenscroft, of the Civil Service, and lately Collector at Cawnpore, had been inhumanly murdered on the night of the 7th of May, by a body of Decoits. Mr. Ravenscroft, some time back, fell into various embarrassments, upon which it is unnecessary to dwell more particularly here. It is sufficient to state, that he quitted the Company's territories, and took up his residence in Oude. Some six months before, he removed to some other qnarter with his family, and lived, we understand, in a lowly hut, at a wild and secluded spot, in a manner any thing but comfortable ; and which, to those who knew him in happier circumstances, cannot but afford matter of melancholy refiec don. On the morning of the 7th of May, a report reached Secrore, that Mr. Ravenscroft was murdered, and it was confirmed in the course of.t,he day by the arrival of people in Secrore cantonmeny, win stated, that they saw the corpse of the poor gentleman. .It appears, that a party, it is said, of from sixty to one hundred robbers, surrounded the hut which formed Mr. Ravenscroft's humble dwelling-place on the night of the 7th. Mr. R. and all his people, except the Chokeydar, were in bed. The Decoits cut down the Chokeydar, broke open the door, and rushed towards Mrs. Ravenscroft's bed.— The unhappy man was, at the same moment, in the act of starting out of bed, when he received a spear through the body. —A dozen or more of the ruffians now came upon him, and he fell, covered with many wounds, several spears having pass. cd through his body. Whether it was that the thieves were too busy in plundering what little property was in the hut, or whether they deemed it unnecessary to add to the work of slaughter, we cannot tell; but it seems they offered no violence to Mrs. Ravenscroft and her infant. The principal object of the Decoits appears to have been plunder, since they came with hatchets, purposely to break open the few trunks and boxes which were in the hut. Three or four of Mr. R.'s servants were slain in theii master's defence. Mrs. R. was ex pected at Secrors, as being the nearest post, and where, no doubt, she would receive all the attention which her deplorable situation demanded. STEAM PASSAGE TO ENGLAND. Speculation respecting the more rapid communication with England, seems to have been arrested in its full career, by the serious objection which consists in the liability to quarantine. The occurrence of this contingency might cause so great a de lay as to make the duration of the passage much longer than even the passage round the Cape. There can be no doubt that the application of the powers of steam may be rendered eminently useful in eastern navigation, but we do not antici pate the supercession of the old route, excepting, perhaps, in an extremely limited degree; and though the scheme, said to have been proposed to the Court of Directors, for the transmis sion of dispatches, may be feasible in so short a period as twenty-eight days, still if even two months were consumed in the journey, the advantages would be highly important to the political and commercial world.—( Calcutta Gazette, June b.) A most violent gale of wind came on early on the night of the 27th May, which has done considerable damage on shore at Kedgeree, by overflowing the country for six or seven miles round. We have not heard whether this overflowing has itrisen front the river or the rain, or both combined ; but, from the low situation of the land, we fear it will be sonic time before its injurious effects are overcome. But we are sorry to add this is not the only disaster which has occurred. The loss afloat far exceeds the injury sustained on shore, and is unfortunately less reparable. The Oracabessa, bound for the Isle of France, was totally lost on the Long Sand. The Liverpool., bound to the Mauritius, is likewise on shore on the Long Sand, and was not expected to be got off: The brig Helen, bound to South America, drove on shore and is totally lost. The brig Cuttack, bound for Cuttack, is totally lost,—crew saved. The range of hills, on which the house of the Collector is situated, afford the only refuge for the unfortunate inhabit ants, who are flocking to them front the surrounding villages in terror and dismay. In this disastrous state of the native popu. lation, we need hardly inform our readers that no time has been lost in dispatching rice, dholl, and other necessaries, for the sustenance of the unfortunate natives by order of the Board of Customs, &c. Whether the private loss will be of that exten sive nature as to render an appeal to the public liberality ne cessary, we do not yet know; but we feel assured, that should such a necessity exist, the appeal will not be made in vain. (John Bull.) The Wellington, which had arrived at Calcutta on the tith of June, encountered the tremendous gale in lat. 13., and was for 24 hours under bare poles. The rise of the water in Diamond Harbour during the gale was one foot and a half higher than had been remembered by the oldest inhabitants. THE ORDER ofST. JOHN ofJERUSALEM FRANKFORT, Nov. 18.—For some time past we have heard in our political circles of the re-establishment of the order of St. John of Jerusalem : it is not precisely in tended to give them possession of the Island of Malta; but it will be extremely easy. to assign them considerable donations in partibus infideliunt. The last letters from London corroborate these reports, and assure ns that the English Cabinet will make no opposition to the re-establishment of the Order, but that it is by no means disposed to contribute to that re-establishment by the cession of even one of the least considerable of the lonian Islands, much less by that of the islands of Malta or Gotzo. All the young German Lords and Nobles embrace with eagerness the hope of receing . a rich nursery of Knights and Com manders of this religious Order again presented to them. The vows to be taken give but little trouble ; they will be observed as in time past ; and the Knights will undoubtedly exhibit the same zeal in combating the enemies of the Faith. The project of which we speak haS been discussed at different times in the Cabinets of the high powers, and it has been the subject of some secondary deliberations at every Congress held since that of Vi enna. There was even formed at thislatter city, at the time of the first Congress, th e model of associations nobilianes, which assumed the singular denomination of Addis Kette—Chain of Nobility. All the nobles of Europe were invited to belong to it; no matter what their origin, their language, or religion. - Titles of' nobility were sufficient for everything. The famous writer, Kluber, in the Protocols of the Congress published by him, has spoken at length of this association,u rich also oc c u pied itself' with the re-establish ment of the Order of Malta. Many persons of consideration appear at present to give their assent as well to the formation of the Chain, as to the restoration of the Knights ; but they have been arrested in their speculations by the difficulty of endowing and establishing, in a suitable manner, these religious warriors..... All their ancient domains have been secularised in Germany, and the Monarchs whose treasuries have been enriched by this measure did not seem disposed to a restitution of the property.— Circumstances wear now a more favourable aspect. It is be lieved that there will be not only means to endow the Order with magnificence, but even to furnish it with indemnities for all it has suffered since the revolution. All that would be requisite would be to compel the Ottoman Porte to resign sonic large island of the Morea—the isle of Negropont and sonic other ter ritories that the revolutionary Greeks have already possessed themselves of; the latter would no doubt think themselves too h a ppy to be placed at any price under a Christian Government, and they would in future be governed in a parental manner by the K n i g hts. Thus all its wealth would be restored to the Order of Malta, which, in whatever country it chanced to be es caped until now sale and secularization. The new Pope anti are said to be extremely favours his Ali n iater, Cardidal Spina, ble to the Knights. THE THEATRES. DRURY - LANE.--Previous to the representation of The Road to Ruin last night, an apology was made for the substit u ti on o f M rs. O RG•EIt i n t h e place of Mrs. HiaLowE, in the part of the IVidow Warren, the latter being indisposed.— Mrs. ORGER is much improved, and is now among the standard favourites of the Public. She performed the part with great spirit, and this popular Comedy was altogether well-supported, and highly applauded. COTENT-GARDEN.—Mr. SINCLAIR made his third appearaeee last night, as Prince Orlando, in The Cabinet, and was received with unabated applause. He was required to sing The Polacca thrice, and readily obeyed the general demand. The recovery of RAYNER enabled him to ap pear in the part of Peter, and FAWCETT to re sume that of Whimsiculo, which he performed with great humour. The rest of the Opera was supported by the usual Performers.and very well received. PREROGATIVE COURT—(Tnis DAY). IN THE GOODS OF CATHERINE, EMPRESS OF RUSSIA. This case, it will be recollected, stood over, having been brought before the Court a short time since. It was an application made by Dr. Lushington on the behalf of Count Lieven, AmbassadOr from the Court of Russia, to decree Letters of Admi nistration to the Count to enable him to dispose of the house No. 7, Harley-street, which was pur chased in 1784 by Mr. Baxter the Consul to Russia, by the desire, and for the Empress. This grant the Learned Doctor applied for to enable a good title to be made to the house in question, as Count Lieven was deputed by the Russian Government to dispose of the same.—Sir John Nicholl then observed, the Court, in making the grant, would be overstepping its bounds, but if it was absolutely necessary, the Court would do it ; time was also then allowed to ascertain if such was the rase, since which it has been ascertained, that the granting of the Administration is absolutely necessary, and it has therefore been decreed accordingly. Slit ROB ERTWILSO N.—(Berlin,Nov. 1 5.) --0 u r Sovereign, like the King of Portugal, has de prived Sir Robert Wilson of the Order which he had conferred on him. The decree to this effect, which appears to be six weeks old, is published to-day in our Stale Gazette. It is directed to the General Committee of the Order, and is con ceived in the following terms " When in the year 1013, I conferred the Order of the Red Eagle on Sir R. Wilson, at that time Major-General in the British service, it was my intention to give him an acknow ledgment for the intrepidity and firmness which he had shown in the great struggle for the independence and tranquillity of Europe; but as he has Shown himself, both by words and deeds, to be a zealous and ardent friend and advocate of anar chical and revolutionary principles, and has thereby rendered himself unworthy of the Order formerly conferred on him, I hereby charge the General Committee of the Order to erase his name from the list of my Orders. "Berlin, Oct. I. " FREDERICK WILLIAM." WINDSOR, Nov. 2.5.--This morning Ids MA.. TESTY, accompanied by his attendants in waiting took an airing in the Park. Sir George Nayler, Garter King of Arms, arrived at the Castle this morning. Yesterday evening the Right lion. Sir Charles Long also arrived at the Castle. Great improvements are still making at the Royal Cottage, where a number of workmen are em ployed ; and fresh alterations are also making at the Castle. Mr. Luxx, whose liumourous Farces of Family Jars and Fish out of Water were so deservedly popular at the Haymarket Theatre, has, we un derstand, been invited to exert his facetious powers for other Managers. This Gentleman's talents are not confined to the Comic Drama, for he has produced au admirable Tragedy on the subject of REGuLus, and, as the Roman History seems to be the order of the day, it is surprising that it has escaped the notice of the Patentee Purveyors for public amusement. As a proof also of the variety, as well as of the fertility of his powers, he has written some very diverting Tales, under the title of Hoax Jocosx, or The Doggerel Decomeron, which might be thought to come from the lively Mose of the younger Co LM AN. On Monday morning, about eleven o'clock,the Duchess of Saxt-WristAn (the sister or the Duchess of cr.ArtEmcE), left Bushey for Chat ham, to accompany the Duke of SIXE.WIIIMAR, on their return to the Continent. GOLDEN LANS BREWERY.—A numerous and respectable meeting of the shareholders of this concern was.held yesterday pursuant to public advertisement at the George and Vulture tavern, when unanimous resolutions were passed, voting thanks to the Directors for complying with the wishes of the Proprietors at their last public meeting, and it was finally agreed that certain Gentlemen who were proposed as th e c omm itt ee of Inquiry, to assist the Directors in deciding on the propriety of entertaining some one of the various offers that have been made for the pur. chase of the property, and others who had pro ferred their services as Directors gratuitously were entitled to the support of the shareholders at the next general meeting.

FOR TIIE SUN. OA3IF. OF GOLF. In all ages, and in all countries, Games as well as Language hare been deemed the best and surest characteristics of a people. The manly and scientific Game of Golf is one of the greatest antiquity in Scotland, and stands foremost in fame. One of the King's of Scotland was so much attached to is favourite exercise that he joined in the game almost daily, and handed down to posterity a proof of his attachment to it by granting the Links to the Golfers of Edinburgh and Leith, who thereafter became associated under the title of the Royal Society of Golfers. At St. Andrews, Perth, Glasgow, Aberdeen, and indeed all over Scotland, this national game continues to be the favourite sport of the enterprising people, from the Noble to the peasant. For nearly a century a Club of Golfers has been established at Blackheath, where it is played every week ; this, it is supposed, is the only Society of the kind in the vicinity of London, though it has been played there for so long a period, it seems to have attracted but little notice, and is perhaps not altogether adapted to the delicate and re fined constitutions of Englishmen. Whether foul or fair the hardy sons of Caledonia continue weekly their favourite pas. time, attended each by a Greenwich Pensioner, as Club bearer. It would amuse your readers to have a proper description of this game from a player, and some such person may notice this mention of so venerable a game. From the inquiries which curiosity led me to make, after narrowly escaping a blow from one of their balls, while perambulating the Heath as I sometimes do on a Saturday, I learned the foregoing particu. lars from a gentleman in a red jacket, &c. that for the exercise of this game, an extensive scope of ground is requisite, ponds, ditches, fences, Oc.e. being hazards to try the skill of the player, then pace of ground which is gone over in the days play, Is about seven miles, playing from one hole of six inches diameter, to. wards another generally apart from 3-4ths to a mile. The balls are similar to those used in cricket of a smaller size, not exceeding two ounces weight, and the clubs in use are so nu merous, that each pensioner seems to (have a very decent load, the names, as far as I recollect, are the tee club for use when striking off, or when the ball lies in a favourable position, the play club, short spoon, driving putter, heavy iron, rot iron, die& short putter, &c. with the play club, one of these Golfers told me, that it has been known in the annals of Golfing, that a ball has been driven 250 yards at one strike, and with other clubs over hazard and interceptions from lito 110 feet high ; the general rule of the game seems to be, that the ball must be struck from the position in which it lies, so long as it is visible. In science it seems to me as an observer, not inferior to Bil. liards, though upon so extended a scale, and is capable of li t gi t ij played in single or in double matches ; hoping th a t some natured Scot will throw some additional light upon th e science and practice of this ancient Game, seemingly so healthful in its exercise and engaging to every participator, I am, Sir, your obedient servant, KENT. Nov. 25, 1823. ROME, Nov. 9.—His Holiness enjoys good health. His predecessors having given up the ancient custom of visiting and waiting on the pilgrims, the present Pope has revived it, and performed the duty frequently. Ile is constantly occupied in plans for the good of his peo. ple. Mention is made of an approaching publication of Edicts, Bulls, and Rescripts, entirely the work of Ills Holiness. The day for holding the Consistory is not yet fixed. It is expect. ed with impatience. Cardinal Feseles renunciation of the Arehbi. shoprick of Lyons is not believed here by some incredulous per. sons,who cannot persuade themselves that this family is deprived of all influence, spiritual as well as tempi-41. HisEininence, it is true, opposed the insinuations thrown out upon this point ; but we are assured that he could not avoid yielding to other consider. :Worm, in which the name of the Sovereign Pontiff must neces. sarily have a powerful influence. His holiness, it is said, has destined him to an office, the derails of which must be grateful to his excessive charity.._ The Spanish. Ambassador gave a fete in celebration of his Majesty's deliverance. The Prussian and Bavarian Ambassadors were present. Father Yenevi c h, a Da. minican, the first Bishop of Cincinnati, and the brat Afissionary of the Nast province of th e Ohi o , h a d a p r i vate au di ence of Ms Holiness, who testified the pleasure he felt at the establishment of this New Church. A cruel Mulder has been committed in Ireland upon two keepers upon land under distress ; but it is hoped, that the perpetrators will be brought to punishment. In a column of the Dublin Evening Pm of Saturday, devoted to accounts of proceedings under the Tithe Hill, there are 13 cases recorded, in four of which the Act was rejected, (in one of them, according to the Irish Paper, " indignantly ;") in three cases, the consideration of the Act was adjourned ; and in six, its provisions were agreed upon, with much appearance of good will among the parties, to be carried into immediate execution. llis Grace the Archbishop of CASHEL has taken great pains to expound to his clergy the intent of the act, and to render them sensible of the advan tages it offers to the Church. This, we apprehend, was unnecessary. The clergy in general have too much reason to be satisfied with the bill. It is the parishioners, for the most part, who reject Irt.— but, as we have long since observed, a beginning has been made, and a bold it not a very brilliant beginning. At every new discussion of the sub ject some progress may, we trust, he made to wards such a final settlement of the tithe system as the nation may r epose upon with confid e n ce and in safety. ---(' Times,} —( imes,) -EXECUTIGN. The awful sentence of the law was this day carried into effect upon the following unhappy beings, viz.—,Eduldi7d 114, for cuttin g and. stabbing; James Scott, for a like offence; John Crisp, for burglary ; and John Smith, for for gery.--21'he Rev.
