SOLBM VIIS FALSUM AVDE.IT LONDON, FRIDAY, I)ECEMBEI,I 12, 1823. We have not yet received any further foreign intelligence, in odditon to the important informa tion which we laid before our Readers yesterday, relative to the change of the Spanish Ministry. The best informed persons continue to regard this event as indicating some relaxation of Fen- DINAND'S despotic system, and particularly as the exertions of Sir WILLIAM A'Couar have been unremitting to produce some favourble change in FERDINAND'S views, and as even the great Continental Courts, alarmed by the pro bable consequences of the extreme rigour with willch FERDINAND has exerted his authority, have i " s trtlcted their Representatives at Madrid to irri l l ress him with the necessity of resorting to a 111° r° just course of policy. Pretty confident "Pectations are now entertained that the debts contracted by the Cortes will at length be ree°4l lized• It had at one time been deemed Prudent to encourage FEIII)INANi3 to perse vere. in his determination to repudiate the Spa nish Bonds. It ri as not unreasonably con cluded, that if the engagements of the Spanish Constitutionalists could be cancelled, the credit of every future revolutionary Go vernment throughout the werld, would be greatly unpaired, and the chances of preventing their suc cessful and permanent establishment be proper tinnallY increased. But it has already been found b y experience, that the injurious conse quences or a breach of faith with the lenders of rne lleY, attach themselves to the old and legiti tlate G overnments, as well as to those which owe their existence to the progress of knowledge and t he spirit of improverrient, and in fact that it is the Spanish Protegd of the Holy Alliance him 'elf, who is likely to be the first sufferer from th e financial struggle in which he has been so n ftr a 'Y as to engage. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. 4 ‘ ll st writing the above, we received by I Press the Etoile of yesterday. It contains no intelli gence of interest or importance, unless the 4 11 11444 ) to Order of th e Knights o f St. John i Jerusalem may be so considered. The follow. itig are extracts : [Pram the Etaik of Yesterday.] 1111AnItID, DEC. 5.--We have received from Vitto ria the first Sessions of the General Junta Tithet Province, established in the ancient form. Li l e first care was to do honour to the manes of co th e victims w h o were i mmo l ate d b y t h e F ero . e$ re volutionists. A funeral ceremony was i~enatlo,rtermed at Toledo in memory of Don Juez Thev have .1 4 - " arrested at Corunna the brother of I, °Pez B anos, who had arrived from Cadiz.

His Majestj► presided at Coati 61 of Ministers. .50 55 DEATH OF. SIR EYRE COOTE.—Died, at his re sidence in Brook-street, on the lOth inst., in the 63d year of his age, Sir EYRE Coors, of (Vest Park, Hants, who faithfully served his King and Country, in various climates, for upwards of 40 years, and with distinguished merits as an Office r , having received the thanks of both Houses of Par- liament for his conduct. His loss will be long and deeply regretted by a disconsolate wido►y, who enjoyed with him an uninterrupted happi ness for upwards of eighteen years, and an afflict ed son, and numerous attached friends who knew his worth ; and in him the poor of his neighbourhood have been deprived of a most kind and liberal benefactor. THE ROYAL FAmtLY.--Yesterday morning, Et ten o'clock, the Duke of CLAnENcr. and the Duchess of GLOUCESTER left Bushey Park, the residence of the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE, in a travelling carriage and four. The Duchess of GLOUCESTER alighted at the King's Palace, at Kensington, on a visit to the Princess SOPHIA. The Duke of CLARENCE proceeded to London. At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Royal Duke and Duchess returned to , Bushey Park.— Yesterday afternoon the Duke of Yons enter tained a party to dinner at York House. We received last night Frankfort Papers to the 4th inst. Their contents are so insignificant as not to afford a single article worth extracting. Wednesday, the Prince of LEIMENGEN arrived in town from Kensington, and in the evening honoured Covent-garden Theatre with his pre. seuce, accompanied by Capt. CONROY. Letters from Leghorn announce, that the Ex. Emperor FruanthE is , living in high style in a magnificent country-house. Last year the number of vessels that , sailed from Dunkirk for the Cove fishery on the banks of Newfoundland was 90, manned by 1024 sea men. The number of fish caught was 889,646: (Frengh Paper.) We understand that in consequence of the immense importation of Dutch hare and rabbit skins, English are not worth half the price they fetched last year. A Berlin paper of the 29th ult, states, that at Konigsberg, on the Ist of the same mouth, ripe strawberries were eaten in several houses in that city. On the 3d, snow fell more than one foot in depth ; and on the 4th they were busied with the, vintage! It may be a fact that wine is made on the shores of the Baltic, but we must candidly confess vfe never heard of it before. Recent Commercial Letters from Gottenburgh say, that the damp harvesting of the corn, this summer, in Sweden, renders it inferior in quality to the crop of last year. The currency, however, keeps pretty level in its range. Accounts from Drontheim complain sadly of the ravages com mitted by the field mice (Mus lemnus, Linn.) throughout the whole province. In many .places every thing has been destroyed, both in the corn fields and in the meadows. Should a hard winter follow, the inhabitants will be exposed to great difficulties, if they do not experience absolute want. The Marquis of CuoratoNnELEY, we are happy to state, is quite recovered from his late severe indisposition. On Wednesday last his Lordship, accompanied by the Mar chioness and the Earl of ROCKSAVAGE, left town for East. bourne, in Sussex, where they have taken a house for a month. A rich Merchant at Breslaw of the name of BRUKNER, who died lately, has bequeathed 75,000 Dollars, (12,5001. sterling) to the several Institutions for the poor in that City. DUEL.—A meeting took place on Hounslow Heath, on Wednesday, between a gentleman of the name of POYNTEa and a Captain SMITH, which originated in a dispute at a coursing match on the preceding day. The Captain re ceived his adversary's ball above the knee, but it did not lodge. Mr:lTualiEs; a professional man, attended, and the Captain was _conveyed ► in a post-chaise, to his residence at liallefoid, 'Mid. dlesex, in .a fair way of doing well. By the third section of the late " Vagrant Act," all persons imposing, or endeavouring to impose, upon any private individual, by false re- preseniation, either verbally or in writing, with a view to obtain money, or some other advantage or benefit, are to be deemed rogues and vaga• bonds, and may be sent to hard labour in th e Ifouse of Correction for any time not exceeding three months, nor less than one month." DIAPEge--ThiS sort of linen cloth is said to have derived its name from D'lper, now Ypres, town of Flanders, where it was first made. To prevent inCumbrance from . the artillery and other articles of war at Bayonne and Pie pignan, a kart has been sent to Toulouse. A pamphlet has appeared, having for title " The Reclamation of the Order of Saint John of JerusaleM," which appears to us of very great interest in the present circumstances. [We shall publish the above document to morrow, as it appears that the restoration of the above Order will be decided upon at the ap. preaching Congress at St. Petersburgh.] CITY, Twelve o'clock.---Consols opened this morning at 85H, at which price they have con tinued up to this hour with little doing. The Expresses from Paris have brought the Rentes at 91f. 75c., and Spanish at 39.1. They had been don• at 33. Late accounts have been received from Madrid, which state that nothing has as yet been settled in regard to the Old Spanish Loan. FOREIGN MA RE ET.—Spanish Bonds opened this morning at 28; f„ 29, 1 f, with little doing up to this hour. THE .171EATII,E. Datti*-LANE.----The revival of The Cabinet at Covent-garden Theatre has occasioned the re storation of the same Opera at Drury-Lane, no doubt for the purpose of producing a rivalry be tween Messrs. BIIAHAM and SINCLAIR. This competition will naturally excite curiosity and comparison, and of course be eventually advan tageous to both Theatres. Mr. BRAIIAM resumed the part of Prince Orlando, of which he was the ' original representative, and contributed great part of the music. As we said before, his powers are undiminished, and he last night exerted them with his usual force, and with his usual ornamental luxuriance. We own that we prefer simplicity and expression, but he is the master of the de `corative schOol, and he performs so well that we cannot but admire. We have no room for detail. He was encored in most of his songs. Miss STEPHENS, in Floretta, was not less successful in her musical' efforts. Hoax also distinguished himself, and we join with the Morning Papers in approving of the introduction of Miss FORDE in Constantia. H ARLEY'S If7l/LciCH/G, and Dow- TON'S Peter, ably contributed to the general effect. BROWNE, in the amorous old Marquis, also was prominent, and with him we must at present drop the curtain. COYENT•GARDEN.----The Lord of the Manor, one of those modern compositions which approach nearest to the good old style of the true English Opera, but much altered, and not for the better, was revived at this Theatre last night.--General BURGOYNE ' the author of this pi e c e , was a gen . tleman and a scholar, as well as a man of taste and a soldier. The work of such a character, therefore, ought not to be mangled and disfi gured by the dramatic Tinkers, employed by either Theatre. A change of manners since the origin of this Opera renders the part of Young Contrast obsolete, but upon the same principle we should discard the Foppingtons of a former period, and the character is so whimsical, so well per formed by JONES, and so agreeably relieves the more serious parts of the play, that it ought to be retained. Moll Flaggon is a very whimsical part, and in the same manner diversifies the piece. It is, however, in fact, the Kale Matchlock, in Sir RICHARD STEELE'S Funeral, or Grief-a-la-Mode. BLANCHARD rendered it sufficient justice. lie is one of our best comedians. SINCLAIR brought forth all his musical stores in Trumore, and bad of course the honour of encores.—ln this respect he was more than rivalled by Miss PATON in Annette, last night, for her marching song was given three times.—Miss M. Tare was a distinguished prop of the piece in Sophia, .and warbled sweetly. Miss LOVE also shared amply in popular favour. PINE was very respectable in Rashly. He acted mo destly, and sang with manly simplicity. The character of Sir Ahn Contrast could not be in better hands than with FAWCETT, and FARLEY gave La Nippe with humour. We beg leave to set the audience right with respect to encores. They need not fear that they distress the vocal Performers, who, on the contrary, consider them as the triumph of their talents, and they give new animation to the performance. ITHE ITALIAN OPERA.—The following, in ad dition to what we have already stated, are said to be among the new arrangements of this Theatre :—/tossini, Composer ; Mesdames ltonzi, illowbelli, Carradori, Vestris, and Pasta,. are the principal female singers engaged. It is, however, said, that the last-mentioned lady, although under a penalty of 1,0001.- to the Manager:4' o f the King's Theatre, may possibly be prevented by the French Government. from quitting France. The male singers are Garcia, Curioni, Porto, nornorini, and some others. The Corps de Ballet' include Albert, Noblet, Le Gros, Madame C. Vestris, Mademoiselles Idalisse, Leroux, Aumer, and others. The Leader of the Opera is SpagnohAti, and of the Ballet, Mr. Lacey ; the Ballet Masters, Illesors. Aumer, (luillet, and Boisgerard. The Theatre is to' open about the second week in January. OLD BAlLEY%—(fnis DAY.) CHARGE OP HORSE STEALING. William Brook: was put to the bar on an indictment charging him with stealing a horse, the property of Robert Roberts. In the course of the evi dence it appeared that the prisoner had been en trusted with the horse for the purpose of convey ing him to a fair for sale, and the prosecutor having admitted that if the prisoner had given him in money, instead of a bill, he would have been satisfied, the REcoatica directed an ac quittal. - Eliza Hammond was indicted for stealing livers monks, the property of her master, Henry Hodson, but acquitted in consequence of an in. orrnality. ire congratulate the public ou the completion of the Iron Bridge, which was finished on Saturday last, being within a few clays of the time stipulated.' The general appear ance of the bridge, the style of which is (lothic, is exceedingly elegant, although the arch from its small degree of con vex i ty , is not quite so imposing as those bridges whose ascent is greater. The superiority of the present structure is, however, per.. fectly obvious ' • and the science a nd s kill di sp l aye d b y the architect, Mr. Browne, is-universally acknowledged.— The width of the Bridge, between the pallisatles, eluding the carriage way anti a five-feet flag pavement on each side, is 30 feet two inches ; anti the span of the arch i s 44 feet three inches. The whole of the iron-work was cast at the foundry of Messrs. Finch and Son, in this town ; with the exception of the ribs and two large abutment plates, which were cast in Derbyshire. The expense of the erection of the bridge is 2,3501., being the sum estimat ed by the Ar c hit ec t, w ho h as thus fulfilled his contract to the entire satisfaction of the Committee. The public are highly indebted to the subscribers, by whose liberality a work has been constructed, which combines ornament and utility in a very eminent degree._.{ Cambrkl,ge Chronicle.) DISCOVERY OF A ROMAN TOWN, &c.—ln the parish of Strathmiglo, Fifeshire, there were lately dug up, within four feet of th e sur f a c e , s ix bronze vessels of different capa cities, from IA mutchkin Scots, to 10 pints Scots, or 20 gallons English, u n ques tionably of R oman ant i qu i ty. These, however, have proved to be only a presage to still greater and more impOrtant discoveries recently made. A Roman town, the Urbs Orea of Tacitly' anti Ptolemy, so long the object of the most anxious researches of the zealous antiquary, has been also discovered at a short distance, consisting of about thirty houses, i n t h ree r ows, wh ose f oun d at i ons are yet die tinctly visible, with the fragments of three or four different specimens of urns, :found about these ancient ruins. About a mile west, nigh about forty bronze Roman military Wea pons of different kinds have been found all lying together. A little to the north % a Roman urn, and two Roman coins, have been recently picked up, one of them the Emperor Do mitian's coins, in excellent preservation, which, with one of the foresail vessels, and four of said military weapons, are now in the possession of the writer of this article. What appeared to be most remarkable about the new discovered town Orea, is a stu pendous triangular table, cut out of the freestone rock, upon a pedestal an d p i l l ar, an d .stan di ng , w i t h li ttle alteration, as the Romans l e f t i t . Thi s see m s t o h ave b een a ta b le to the Sun, and an ins e p ara bl e a ppendage to all the Roman towns.—(Cale. donian Mercury.) • FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

I wander'd when the shadows fen, • Till darkness brooded o'er the deep ; Anti thoughts of her I lo v 'd so we ll Caine oer me—but I could not weep. The night was silent as the grave— -1 thought of her. who slumber'd there; Of her 1 would have died to save—, The young, the beautiful, the fair. I could not weep a single tear, — The wave of ocean roll'd below, And evil thoughts were gathering near— But oh, thank God ! it was not so. 1 wept not still—but when the light Was kindled on the beacon-tower, And stream'd on ocean through the night, I felt an influence from the hour. My better feelings, that had slept, Gush`d, like the water from the rock When Israel's leader smote—l wept Such tears as can the heart unlock. They were not tears of bitterness, But such as contrite spirits shed; For thus Religion comes to bless The darken'd hour, when hope is fled. I wept—but they were tears of balm, And soon was felt throughout my frame A blessed, 'and a holy calm And call'd I then upon his name.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH', Drc. 11. • UNSKILFUL NAVIGATION. action V. Bolen. This was an action brought by the owners of the dna East Indianian, against the owners of the Ahnora to recover a com pensation in damages for the loss of the ship's best bower anchor, occasioned by the alleged unskilful navigation of the ship Al.. morn, by which'she ran foul of the Astel in Madras Roads. Mr. SCAILI.ETT, for the plaintiff; called Wm. Drainer, Chief Mate, . whose evidence charged gross neglect and improper management on the part of those on board the Almora, on the night of the lift of January. rt was blowing very hard; the Astel was lying fixed to one point at anchor, when the Almo ra , carry i ng her three top-gallant sails, can foul of the Astel, which caused the loss its question. In witness's opinion the Astel should have taken the opposite course to what she did, in order .to get out of the Roads, by which means the accident would have been.avoided. All the witnesses for the plaintiff agreed it was impossible on the part of the Astel to have averted the accident. Captain Coombs bus bud considerable experience in naviga tion—has been eight or ten times in Madras roads—ha s heard the evidence given. It appears to witness that the Almnra had set too touch sail, and that she ought to have carried out a kedge Lefore she weighed, to keep her steady from having stern way. The Almora should have More h er anc h or very short, and the n t o h ave ta k en reefs in according to the Captain s judgment. When she slipped her ch a in it • the way sh e did, she must ha ve k nown it would get foul of the Amtel's cable. Captain Owen Edwards has made live voyages to India As Captain—should not have persisted in getting under weigh under the circumstances the Almora did—in such • weather should not have hoisted the sail she did. In witness's opinion the Astel could have done nothing to prevent the accident. The ATTORNEY-GExt)tat„ ti►r the defendant, laid great stress on the Astel not having made any attempt to clear their cable front the chain cable of the .!!morn, during ten. whole days. lie should refer to the log book, Co show th a t i t was fine weather, • with light breez es , within the ten days, and therefore the accident was attributable to their own negli gence. He should produce a correspondence, by which it would appear the plaintiff's, though they demanded compensti don, they considered this a mere accident. Ile contended :the Almora could puma no other course than she did.. If this • was the result of an accident which could not have been fore . seen, then defendants were not liable. Ile should )prove the accident did not happen on the 6th but on the 11th of January. After a number of other witnesses had been examined for the defence,. Mr. Soa nun . T replied.
