froth which it received its present form, they are content with the expression of their disappro bation, and with the withdrawal of their Am bassadors, and even that mark of their dis pleasure is accompanied by professions of their friendly regard for King FeaDmvso,and of their admiration of the virtues of the great Spanish nation! ! They hint, it is true, that further consequences may ensue ; but then we have the important avowal, that " the Monarchs consider as the indispensable condition of the fulfilment rf their benevolent wishes," "the faithful and perse vering co-operation of ALL THE GOVERNMENTS of Europe ! !I" That they have not obtained that co-operation, is proved by the fact, that England, and even France herself, are not parties to their declaration ! This is the grand secret,—the true reason that the delibera tions of the Congress have evaporated in smoke ! There is not one act in which all the assembled Potentates, and representatives of Potentates, have united ! The three Mem bers of the Holy Alliance have indeed issued a common Declaration ; but the Congress has done nothing! On the contrary, the seeming 'prin ciples of . union which culled them together appear to have . been dissolved ! We ven ture to pronounce, that the Congress of Verona will be found to have been the last general assemblage of the great Powers of Europe! This is the work of England ; and we rejoice at the proof which it affords of the spirit of her Councils, and the extent of her influence! It .is remarkable that the " Declaration" says nothing either of England or of France. The Note of the French Go vernment did notice the intentions of the three Powers ; but the three Powers say nothing of her ! The three Powers only withdraw their Ambassadors from Spain. But France does not even join them in inflicting upon the Spaniards that mark of her displeasure ! The bubble ap pears to us to have burst. FRENCH FUND6.-JAN. 10. Wive per Cents.

We extract' the following from the German Papers, received this morning :- 1 4 4 LEGHORN', DEC. 20.—Letters from Corfu say, that the late naval victories of the Greeks, have so inflamed the courage of the inhabitants of the island, that they are preparing for further enterprises. The plague contiuues to exercise the most dreadful ravages at Jounada. The population of that unhappy town is now 'educed to 6,000, which was formerly 60,000. FRANKFOIIT, JAN. s.—According to the last letter from Verona, it is affirmed that proposals will be made to the Porte for an arrangement with the Greeks. It is intended to invite the latter to recognize the sovereignty of the Grand Seignor, to whom they should pay an annual tribute, but on the express condition that they should govern themselves. We received this morning American Papers to the 17th of December.—The following are Extracts ( Frain the New York Gazette of Dee. 16.) " An arrival from Porto Rico brings an ac count of the capture of the King's packet from Cadiz for Havannah, by a Columbian brig of war : the captain and several of the crew were killed, the remainder had arrived at San Juan. The packet, and 10 sail of merchantmen, bound to Havanna, were under convoy of a Spanish frigate going to Vera Cruz. They called at St. Juan ; and the convoy then left the frigate, load ed with arms, ammunition, and troops, which pro ceeded for Vera Cruz, for the relief of the castle of St. Juan de Ulloa. " FROM THE PACIFIC. ---We learn by the Port Captain, arrived this evening, that the United States' ships Franklin and Dolphin were at Callao. The Port Captain touched at Val divia, where he left the Chilian Expedition against the Island of Chilloe. " Faost.BRAZILS.---W e learn, says the Boston Palladium, that the Government of Brazils was highly displeased with the Commander of the Fleet, which was sent to Bahia, and returned to Rio, without accomplishing any thing against the Royal forces. The Officers were displaced, and the ships were re-fitting to sail with new Officers and recruits. Commodore JEWITT had arrived at Rio from Buenos Ayres, and was appointed to command the Brazilian frigate Union. " The British sloop of war, Pheasant, sailed from Jamaica on the 3d inst. and Ilavannah 9.7 th ult. with a convoy, and has brought speck for several mercantile houses in this City. Captain C. informs that the frigate Scringapaiam, the sloop of war Redwing, and cutter Grecian, had arrived at Havannah direct from England. Cap tain WA RREN comes out clothed with author from th e S pan i sh Government of Cuba, for the suppression of th e p i rac i es on that coast and in the Gulph of Florida." THE KING. BRIGHTON, J.tN. 10.—We regret to state that on Wednesday evening the KING had a severe attack of gout, the inflammation and pain of which so continued to increase, that his - MAJESTY has been confined entirely to his bed from that period to the present. Though the pain has been and is very great, the symptoms have as sumed a favourable character, and the fervent hope as well as expectation is, that his MAJESTY'S illness has past its crisis, and will now shortly wear off altogether. BRIGHTON, JAN. 11.--Tine O'CIOCk, P. M.-- The indisposition of the KING, as may be readily supposed, has cast a gloom over all classes of people here ; but we have the consolation to know that WS MAJESTY, though yet confined to his bed, and suffering much pain, is considered as doing well. No bulletin was published at the Palace to-day, but the answer to the almost numberless inquiries in the morning was— " His MAJESTY has passed a restless night, 'out is better this morning." The reply to similar applications- this evening has been quite as favourable. The pain hisMa- JESTY suffers is principally confined to the ancle and knee. It is not expected that any bulletin will be published to-morrow. BRIGHTON, JAN. 12.-7'wo o'clock, P. Ald—l am happy to inform you that the report on the state of his MAJESTY'S health continues favour able. No bulletin was published this morning. The answer to all inquiries has been—" Ilis MAJESTY is better to-day." KING'S THEATar..—The appearance of this Theatre on Saturday skews that the higher or ders are beginning to flock to the standard of fashion in town. The boxes were well attended] and so was the pit. The Opera and Ballet as before, La Clemenza di Tile and The Carnival (!t* Venice. We find that Le Gana Ladra is to introduce Signor Poa'ro, who has a high reputa tion abroad ; but, what is somewhat surprising,. l Signor DE BEGNIS, who was engaged us a 13uji),1 is to assume in that Opera the serious character of the father. The Manager, it seems, in full con fidence of his talents for the pathetic line, had before requested him to undertake it; the Signor however declined a province so different, from that for which he was engaged, but at length, for the interest of the Theatre, has assented. Saturday the Duke of YORK transacted busi ness tit his Office in the Horse Guards. The CHANCELLOR of the Excitcoura left town on Saturday afternoon for Blackheath. Friday evening the Duchess of K ENT, at tended by the Baroness SPAEDTH and Captain CONROY, honoured Drury-lane Theatre with her presence. Lady F. STANHOPE, we are concerned to state, is seriously ill, at her house in South Audley. street. Letters have arrived from Trieste, announcing the death of M. Hutscuzu., the celebrated Jew banker of that city. Ile is reported to have left between 11 and 12 millions of francs to his son, A Commercial Letter from St. Petersburgh, dated the 17th ult., states, that, with a wiew to prevent smuggling, every Custom-house, as well in the interior as at the sea-ports, shall have the aid of a military body to enforce the Decrees of the Empire. The military will be placed under the direction of the Custom-house Authorities.— A respectable merchant in the City, on reading the account, observed, the only effect that would be produced by the measure, would he an in creased rate of insurance to the consumer, as the bens de guerre would have to receive their bribe in addition to the existing rates. The Carlsruhe Gazette of the 17th ult. contains an elaborate Advertisement, charging the public authorities to arrest and send to prison two Stu dents, late at lleidilberg. They stand charged with the crime of murder, the former having shot in a duel Mr. St. MARTIN of Hanover, and the latter having aided and abetted as second. A recent French Paper says that the Court of Assize at Paris has acquitted the Bankers B.t- RILLON and RIBET of the charge of fraudulent Bankruptcy. The Emperor of RUSSIA has invested the Aulic Counsellor of State, M. VON GENTZ, with the Order of St. Anne, brilliantly set in diamonds. It appears that a great extension to the build ings at the Baths of the Caucasus will imme diately take place, the Emperor of RUSSIA having adopted a plan presented to him for that purpose by General SERMOLOW. SiX hundred thousand rubles are in consequence to be advanced by the Imperial Treasury. Our countrymen, Messrs. CLARKE, G atEFITII, and Co. have just received a licence from the Russian Government, authorizing them to have the exclusive right of introducing gas lights into Russia for the space of ten years. A French paper states the Bureau of the Bri tish Consul, Mr. SCOTT, at Bordeaux, had lately been broken into, and a sum of 845 francs stolen. Several packets of papers were wantonly de stroyed. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.---ThiS morning the Ge. neral Quarter Sessions of the Peace for the County of Middlesex commenced at Hicks's Hall, Clerkenwell, before Mr. CoNsT, Chairman, and a very full Bench of Magistrates. The Chairman, in charging the Grand Jury, observed the calendar of offences for which they were to find Bills was very light for the time of the year,—the crime of burglary had materially decreased,—and in conclusion he made some allusion to the County Presentments, B‘c. — and directed them to rt.tire and consult upon their duties.—The Petit Jury was then sworn, and the Court was occupied during the morning in trying traversed cases of assault.—The Bench was crowded with Magistrates, as the election for the Keepership of the House of Correction was appointed for this day. JERVAS, the artist, having succeeded happily in copying (he thought, in surpassing) a picture of Titian's, looked first at the one, then at the other, and then with parental complacency ) cried " Peer little Tit I bow be would stare i" rAsHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

HUMBUG ORDINARY AND EXTRAORDINARY, ( From the British Monitor of yesterday.) A very curious document first appeared in the Times about ten days since, which we have copied into our paper. It is a note from Count ACHILLES DE JOUFFROY to the Duke de MONT.. MORENCY, respecting the deliberations of the Congress at Verona. The diplomatic ACHILLES is one of the Editors of the Gazette de France.— Ire went to Troppau and Laybach, to attend the Congress of Sovereigns there ; and as a private Correspondent of that paper sent it communica • Bons. It seems that he went to Verona on a similar mission ; but 'we have every reason to sup. pose that he was not employed by M. de MONT. MORENCY. Whether he was or was not, how did this document find its way into the Times? Nei ther ACHILLES nor his friend M. de MONTMORENCY could have sent it! It. must therefore have been a diplomatic !lector, some picker of locks, who con trived to purloin it from the Duke de MONTMO. n ENCY'S port feuille. But in diplomacy all these matters are considered as bagatelles; and the above letter is a mere trifle to the treat which is shortly to be given to the curious ! A French. man, who had been several years attached to the Police at Paris, principally under the Ministry of M. Mousueu, who succeeded M. DE CAZES, and preceded the present Ministry, was em ployed to tamper with the domestics of the British Ambassador at Paris, Sir CHARGES STUART, and succeeded in obtaining from his Excellency's confidential servants permission to open the letters to and from England, which passed through the Embassy, and to take copies of them, after which they were again sealed up and forwarded to their destinations ! This was carried on about two years. When, however, the present Ministers Caine into office, this man was; discharged. Since then, he has been endeavour ing to sell the copies of all the letters, having committed the double treachery of reserving copies for himself, besides furnishing others to his employers ; and he has ultimately succeeded in selling them to a London bookseller, by whom they will shortly be published. The col lection is very voluminous, and consistsof upwards of 30 letters from his Excellency Count GROTE, the Hanoverian Ambassador at Paris, to his Ma jesty GEORGE IV.; several from Prince CASTEL.. CICALLI, the Neapolitan Minister at Paris, to Count WoßoNzow, in Lo n d on ; an d f rom a Mr. DAltay to a noble Lord in London : these latter are said to be very curious, as they contain politics, accounts of opera girls, ikc. &c. There are also several from TALLEYRAND, and from Sir ROBERT WILSON, Whet, at Paris, to Sir JAMES MACINTOSH in London; of course the publisher will be very careful of what he is about ; for what proofs can he produce of the authenticity of these letters, as the originals are not in his possession ? It has been said that these police operations were carried on at Calais, and the English messengers' bags opened while they slept. This is false, as the messengers, on their arrival at Calais, always de. livered their bags to the Consul. It is no more than an act of justice to make this statement to relieve these deserving and useful servants of the public from the odium that has been thrown upon them. l k. , . _ 4 a . 4 - .24"- ....

ATTEMPTED 1%1 DER.—We are sorry to be obliged this week again to record another instance of a most flagrant attempt at robbery and murder, which took place near Cleillog Farm, five miles from Holyhead, at the junction of the recent new road with the old one. As one Richard Owen, an established messenger from the Custom House at Holyhead to the Custom House at Damn:l46s, was yesterday morning, at about four a. tn. on his way from the former to the latt e r ' Custom House wit); only the usual quarterly accounts, and no public money, he was twice shot at near Clelnog, one b a ll h a y. to entered his hat, through the side, and out at t h e crown , and the other ball having grazed his left Bide t but without doing him the least penvanatinjury,other than frighetning him to such a degree, that he drove on at so furious 4 TM* to Llan.. gefoi, that his horse became much tired,_ and be was obli ge d to complete his journey on foot. The villain having discovered that his abets had no effect, made hie acepe.—(Arerth nrakt' Gazette, Jan, 9.) ROYAL, NAVY. PORTSMOUTIT, JAN. 11.—The Tribune, Cap 't. Guion, is expected to arrive here in a few days from Chatham, on her voyage to the West Indies, to join Commodore Sir Edward Owen. A new uniform has been determined on for the Corps of Royal Marines.

On Saturday a somewhat curious scene took place in Court upon the subject of the removal of an indictment into the Court of King's Bench. Mr. ADOLTUUS addressed the Bench, which was very full, to the following elect :—He had been informed that a man named Atride was detained in execution under sentence of im prisonment passed upon hint the day before in direct opposition to the law. This extraordinary proceeding it became his duty to notice for the purpose of inducing the Bench to repair as much es lay in their power, after the infliction of a severe in. jury, the mischief occasioned by their departure from a great general principle hitherto held inviolable. Atride and a gen. denier' of high rtvik and respectability were included in the same indictment, and the defence of the one necessarily in. volved the :defence of the other. It was considered neces eery to remove the case by a writ of certiorari into the King's 'Bench, and Mr. Harmer accordingly sent the neces. nary authority to the Sessions House by his clerk, who handed It up to the Bench before the Jury were charged with the defendant in custody. Of the effect of a writ of certiorari, no lawyer living could entertain a doubt. Burn's Justice, and Ilawkins's Pleas of the Crown, which were known to, every one, distinctly stated the nature and spirit of its operations; but, in the teeth of all authorities upon the subject, the Bench had thought proper to try the defendant Atride, who, in conse quence of the absence of the intended defence, was convicted, and thus became the victim of a mock trial, constituted corm nit judice, and upon evidence not cognizable in any Court of Justice. The moment the writ appeared, it put a period to the authority of the Bench. The name of Atride certainly was not specified in the writ, but it was comprehended in the word " another," which was suited in conjunction with the name of the oter defendant, who was the pnneipal. ::ow, when the indictment was removed with respect to the principal, it fol lowed, invariably, that the accomplice was as effectually inde pendent of the Bench. Ile (Mr. Adolphus) should himself have interfered to prevent the trial, but, as he was not retained at that time, the delicacy which it was necessary to oil:terve to wards the Bench, was an impediment to him in doing that which it was now become a duty in him to do—namely, to protest against such an infringement of the law. Mr. CON ST (the Chairman) Mr. Adolphus, it was a pity you did not as an Amite: Carite mention the objection yesterday. Mr. ADotentts—All that was necessary was done by Mr Harmer, who caleulated so firmly upon the effect of the writ as not to take any further notice of the ease. Although Mr. Harmer was not engaged to defend Atride, he would have de fended him, so important was the event of a trial of one to that of the other. It was a most unfair anti cruel proceeding. Mr. CONST-1 desire, Mr. Adolphus, that you will not in dulge in this invective against the Bench, to whom you so improperly attribute motives by which it is impossible that they can be influenced. You are not to consider yourself at liberty to usher in your motions with tirades of half an hour'e length. If you question the propriety of what has been done, you had better postpone your observations, and make them in the proper place. Mr. Anovemts said he was not aware of having imputed improper motives to the Bench, but they had, without doubt, acted against the law. Mr. Costive—The case was treated exactly as cases of com mon assault are usually treated. The prosecutor was asked whether his witnesses were ready, and no gentlemen of the bar made any objection to our proceeding in the trial. Mr. AnoLPlllle, after souse further observations, concluded by moving, after d ec l ar i ng t h at no man i n t h e world had more reason to complain of injustice than his client, that Atride should be forthwith discharged out of custody without bail. Mr. ALIA Y, in supporting the application, said he was convinced the Bench had acted under the erroneous impres sion that the writ re g arded t h e ot h er d e f en d ant alone. They were now able, however, as they had a complete anthority over their Own acts, to render the verdict unavailable. Mr. Cow! T sad he did not think the Court hail the power to set Atride at I rgi. Whatever question might -arise as to their power of trying Atride, under the circumstances stated, the conviction lad, as in other cases, taken place alter the re gular examinations of witnesses, and they could not grant the application. Mr. Bevit. (on the Bench) said, that if the case had been improperly proceeded in, the Chairman was certainly not re sponsible, for he had started the difficulty. It was, however, the prevailing opinion that the writ regarded the untried de fend-ant alone. In fact, the Bench had not seen the writ. If they had, they might have adopted a different course, but the verdict having been given, and sentence passed, they could not now interfere. Air. A notptius then stated that he should apply for tads. faction for his client in the proper place. The remains of J. B. SMITH, Esq., whose death we announced in our lasts were on Tuesday in terrel at Croome, and in conformity to the wish of the Noble Earl, in the vault of the Coventry family.—( Worcester 'Jerald, Jan. 10.)

There was a good arrival of Wheat, Beans, Barley, Peat, anal Flour, last week; but very few Oats. This morning the supplies were confined chiefly to good quantities of 'Wheat, Barley, and Beans, from Essex, Kent, and Sablk. Prime dry samples of Wheat sell on full as 4Pootl terms as last Atop_ day ; but there has not been much business done in other qua. litres. Barley sells very heavily, and is 111. per quarter cheaper. There has been but a slack demand for Beans, as the price* re 'main much the same as last quoted, Boiling NU are tether dearer ; Grey Peas fully supp or t l ast quotations. There are so few Oats now in, that there has been very little bitsintss done in this trade to-day.

The inju.. , ries she received were very great—one of her arms was broken, her legaseriously hurt, and her face and eyes severely bruised. She is now in a fair way of recovery. The dangerous speed at which mail carts are driven through the City ought to be checked.
