DAY, DECEMBER 17, 1823. in our preceding columns we have given ex tracts from the French and other Foreign Jour nals received since our last. In addition to the articl e s which ,we have extracted from the /Wile of Monday, we perceive that it contains accounts frorrt Trieste of the 2d instant. .A vessel had arrived from Calamitha in the Morea , with the intelligence of . the capture of the citadel of Corinth by the Greeks. The Trieste Correspondent of the Rile observes, that the Turks have not gained an inch of land in the third campaign, which is 8° Hearty terminated, and that the Greeks await the opening of the fourth without' apprehension. T he letters from Constantinople of the 15th Nov. l h ad announced the nomination of GAUD PACJIA lu the command of the Bosphorus. This. Pacha is represented as one of the most distinguished men i n the Ottoman Empire, and his return to the favour of the Sultan had excited some sensa tion, It is asserted that the Divan, which had displayed great condescension towards the Chris tian Powers for some time previous to and d uring the interview of the two Emperors at Czernowitz, hid resumed all its 'ancient ar rogance, aftei• learning that their Imperial Ma jesties had set off on their return to their re 'Pective capitnia.—The Etoile states that it has received a Madrid Restaurador containing a long article, which it considers of great im- Portance, and which it therefore promises to in sert entire in its Number of Tuesday. The ob ject of the article is to prove that the Royal Go vernment of Spain neither can nor ought to pay he debts of the Cortes. We extract the following article on the state 15f %nth America from the Madrid Gazelle. We have always, for our part, and on the last occa. very recently, acknowledged that Spain 6611 retains a footing in Peru. In as far as tha t country is concerned, therefore, it would rtrt a "e/y be premature to assert that its inde l'eadence of the. Mother Country has as yet k e ffected. But the Madrid Gazette has 14116 a very pompous display of the naniec n utty indp r oificant spots, which it as- Are erla still subject to the dominion of - Wes and from whose enumeration it vainly 441deavours to conjure up the ghost of her former a""eignty, an d to i nves t it w ith a shew of reality nd sub stance. Even the catalogue of the Madri d G a s te lte has before now been torn by the military' °Petal lees undertaken by the Patriots iu con equeeee or the great error committed by General 431A Rnc when he marched upon Lima, and l eft all the country in his rear unprotected. we. (Prom th e M adrid Gaz:ll, of the 4th instant.) have already sa id, t h at Th e C our i er o f London a f firms that s P"aill America is isulepriulent do facto, and consequently aeZire: find ourselves com p e ll e d to sa y, that The Courier 4, 3 , °ugh a telescope which misrepresents to his eyes the Lre of the I ncas. In fact, he expects his readers to b e li eve , , tZee authority o f hi s assertions, facts the least cred ibl e i n the " impartial men. The question must be solved by logical argument, which, though ancient, bas the advantage of being more reasonable, more just, and less arbitrary. A Province is called independent de facto, which being an in tegral portion of a kingdom, lives tranquil under a GoVernment, and enjoys its protection, paying at the same time to the said Government the just tribute of obedience. Let The Courier examine under this point of view the Vice-royalty of Lower Peru, from the sources of the Rimac to its mouth ; let him con template from the fertile valley of Jauja, the immense pro vinces of Huancavelica, Huamenga, and Arequipa, and he will see, from All quarters, the subject Peruvians pay the ho mage which they owe, receive commands, demand justice, and solicit pardons, of the ancient metiopolis 'of Cusco, in which Lieutenant - General Don Joseph de la Serna (Viceroy of his Catholic Majesty) has fixed his residence since the year 1821. Let The Courier elevate his telescope a little, and, leav ing the Cordilleras of the Andes, look to Upper Peru, and he will see the tranquil and subject jurisdictions of La Pacz, Oruro, Chuquisaca, Cochabamby, Potosi, and Santa Cruz-de-la-Siena, which,' abjuring the pretended felicity of their metropolis, Buenos Ayres, find themselves happy under the paternal Go. vernment of the delegated RepresentatiVe in those States of our beloved Sovereign. Let his scrutinizing eyes dwell here awhile, and he will see that the orders dictated by La Serna are executed in the provinces of Peru with as much regularity us those of George the Fourth in Great Britain ; that, from all quarters merchants arrive in the intermediate ports to exchange the rich metals they produce for cloths which are exported film . ' the banks of the Thames, and all the pieces of coin which they receive in return are ornamented with the effigy of Verdi nand VII. And in spite of all these truths, which the Jour nalists of the Court of London are thoroughly convinced of, how can The Courier venture to affirm that this portion of Spanish America is independent de filch) Perhaps he is ignorant•that the insurgents are only masters of the district of Trujillo, and a small portion of that of Tarma, whose untbrtunate inhabitants neglect no means to rid them selves of the iron yoke which is imposed upon them by vio lence, as the parties of G aanueo and Conchucos have frequently manifested, by earnestly soliciting the aid of the Royal army.— Perhaps he is ignorant that all the popular commotions which that country has sustained since the year 1821 were ephemeral, and provoked by revolutionary enthusiasts. And who kept them in subjection ? who made them bite the &tat in the fields of Guaquil, Villapuquio, Ayohuma, Viluca, and others, if it was not the Peruvians ? Let them answer the questionlt was Generals Goyeneehe, Pezuela, anti Ramirez, who bad the honour of heading them in these glorious battles, and who now live happily in this capital. Ask these Generals who wove the laurel wreaths which adorn their brows, if it was not the Peruvians ; who caused to vanish, like smoke, the famed armies of Colombia, Buenos Ayres, and Chile, which, in the year 1820, styled themselves masters of the ancient em pire of Manco-Cspac Who were they who routed 4,000 in, surgents at Ica, on the 211th April, 1822, and the same force at Moquega, on the 21st of last January ? Who were they, if it was not the Peruvians, who, entering triumphantly into Lima, in the month of June last, accompanied by their relatives, and, animated with the most lively joy, re pl ace d am idst re-echoing Vi vats the portrait of our King, which some wretched adven turers had profaned during the space of four years ! • And who were they, if not the Peruvians, who forced these adventurers shamefully to retr ea t an d s h ut themselves up, covered with opprobrium in the forts of Callao P And In the face of these facts, which fame has promulgated even on the banks of the Thames, how can The Courier venture to advance that Spanish America is Independent de facto : 1 If, however, any doubt remain in his mind, let him compare the Royal army to that of the insurgents, their resources and their economy, the civil and political virtues of La Serna ,#nd his companions in anus, firm in their fidelity to our august Monarch, and the execrable lives of Torrelagle and his satellites; the fraternal union of the former, whose sole care is the preservation of the provinces, which the goodness of th e S overeig n has confided to of opinion, div ers ity o f i nterests, diem, and the inconsist e n c y o f t h e l atter, di v id e d b y differen cesthe fatal confilict of passions. by opposite sentiments and But this object must be separately treated of, as well as the heterogeneous elements which compose the miserable and in significant revolutionary army, and the necessity of annihilating them before they become homogenous, and ere that, united, they occasion greater evils than those which we have hitherto endured. These, we repeat, and other matters, we shall suc- , cessively discuss with the distinctness and truth which an affair of such importance requires. CIT r, Twelve o'Clock.—Consols opened this morning at SOH, and went down to 8611. Some. husineis was doing in the early part of the morn ing. --The Expresses from Paris of Monday bring the French Rentes at 91f. 95c., tu.l Spa nish 28, which is a still further decline.— We do not hear as yet of any further in formation from that Capital concerning the Old Spanish Loan, neither can we be informed as yet in regard to the operations of the New One, as the Gentlemen who have gone from London could only have arrived when the Courier left Paris. FOlt Ei 41N MA llKE'r.—Spanish Bunch opened at 28i. to '29 2 but soon after fell to and were again done at 28 ii. New York Papers arrived this morning to the 25th November. The following is the only ar ticle worthy of notice : " A rat CA.—ACCoUlltil from Sierra Loone to the 2d of September :—The Ashantee Negroes were approaching Cape Coast in great numbers, with the intention of making an attack and plundering that Colony. Sir C. WCARTHY W4B to direct the operations against them, and Captain LACY had collected a force of 7,000 men, principally natives, to resist them. Two British vessels of war were at Cape Coast, and its safety appears certain. Two or three native Kings had lately been deposed in Africa, and other persons placed on their thrones."--(Nero York Gaudio, Nov. 23.) • BAYONNE, DEC. 9.—The change of Ministers is a subject of general interest in Spain as well as in France.— The Ultras, according to the class to which they belong, expect from it a complete re-establishment of the ancient power of the King. and a renovation of the splendour of the Monarchy on the other hand, the most terrible consequences, which they expect to end in general disorder. Moderate men, however, attach but little Importance to it, and think that nothing can be done by a chan and men, unless it be accompanied by a change of system,by the introduction of institutions suit. able to the age in which we live; but they fear that this mea sure, which they consider as the only one by which the King might appease the troubles of his kingdom, is not likely to be adopted by him. It is allowed, however, that there is an int. provernent in the choice of his Confessor ; and people see with pleasure that an Ecclesiastic is removed from the helm who would have converted the whole kingdom into one vast IUo. nareby. Th e first acts of this new Ministry are imp at ie ntl y l o oked for, as they will enable us to form an opinion of the sys tem they are likely to follow. There was a tumult at Orange on the 2•2 d nit: on occasion of the fete in honour of the florid nation'of the Pope. A regiment that was in the town guar. rolled with the Royalists; seventeen were wounded. General G u illerninot having returned to Paris (yesterday), it is said no more expresses will come from Spain. An Express arrived this morning at the house of Mr. ROTIISCIIILD, with an account of his safe arrival at Paris. Tilt Tim Tam DItURY-LANE:-.-The opera of Love in it Vii loge, which may be considered as an agreeable Comedy, apart from its musical attractions, was represented last night at this Theatre. BELHAPeI resumed the part of Hawthorn, and not only sung with his usual excellence, but really supported it with spirit , and humour. Miss STEPHENS was playful in Rosetta. All the airs of these great vocalists were encored. DOWTON'S Justice Wood cock was a humorous treat. HORN acquitted himself well in Young Meadows. KNIGHT'S Hodge was a good specimen of rustic humour.— Much, however, as we were entertained, we can not approve of the introduction of songs not ori ginally connected with the Piece. The music was originally selected and composed by Dr. ARNE, and he possessed such taste and genius as should exempt so great a Master from any inter polations, however excellent. The House was very well attended. COI ENT-GARDEN.—The Cabinet was repeated last night, and the musical rivalry of SINCIAIR and Miss PATON afforded a high gratification to a numerous audience. Ito TAL CdBURG THEATRE.—A whimsical piece, entitled Our Future Fate, or Torn, Jerry, and Logic, in 1845, has been produced at this Theatre. These popular Heroes, who have made sodistinguished a figure at the Adelphi Theatre, aro here introduced prophetically, and in so whim sical a mauner as to afford much entertainment. It was too long on its first representation, but has been properly curtailed. It was last night very well received, and was followed by a ludicrous Burletta, entitled Two Gregories, and die terrific Drama entitled The Murderer, or The Devoted Son. They were all well received. NEW SURREY TREATRE.—'Phis elegant Theatre attracts very crowded and genteel audiences. The corps dramatiquc consists of a combination of histrionic talents truly respectable, and worthy of the liberal support which the Managers ex. perience from the Public, and for which, not only by the strength-of their Company, but by the tasteful decoration Of the House, the richness of the dresses and the scenery, and the variety and novelty of the performances, they seem to be duly sensible. Last night the Pieces were The Maid of Genoa,—The Passions,—and The Feu labs; besides the exhibition of M. DiatstoN's'ele.. gent and surprising feats of agility. In The Passions, Mr. 0 XTIERR Y, as Giles, admirably pourtrayed the workings of love and jealousy, in the warm and honest heart of the unfortunate suitor for the hand of Pharbe, who had conferred her affections on George. The violent conflict of feeling in the last scene, when Giles at length by a heroic effort of fortitude and generosity sacrifices hii own fondly cherished hopes to the happiness of Thisbe, and places her hand, with a convulsive and agonized blessing, in that of his rivet' George, was a piece 'of finished acting which we have seldom seen equalled. On the fall of the curtain, the piece was honoured with nine loud and distinct rounds of applause from all parts of the house. Sunday morning about eight o'clock, the Duke of Yoxx left town in his travelling carriage and four for Sud burn, near Woodbridge, Suffolk, tho seat of the Marquis HERTFORD, to enjoy the sport of shooting for four or five days. Yesterday was the Anniversary of Prince LEOPULD'S Birth-Clay, when his Royal Highness completed his 33d year. Ilis Royal Highness's tradespeople illuminated their houses in the evening. _ _ We are happy to find that Mr. Secretary CAN NINA, though still suffering from gout, is able to attend to business. Unroll FAGEL and M. FALEK, accompanied by Mr. WY N N, had a long confe rence with the Right lion. Gentleman on Mon day. The Earl of LivEnpoor. and Lord GRAN.. VILLE called on Mr. CANNING, at Gloucester Lodge, yesterday. According to advices from Caraccns of the 7111 of October, letters had been received in that city from the illustrious Bolivar, written after the sub jugation of Pasto, and immediately before his de parture for Peru. In these the President takes leave of his friends in a feeling and pathetic manlier, and announces that he was setting off for Peru, at the head of 16,000 soldiers, with the determi nation of not returning to Colombia until peace was restored in the sister republic, and the tran quillity and happiness of his own country thereby for ever ensured. This masterpiece of his military glory Bolivar trusted to be able to achieve before a year had elapsed, and had adopted the resolu tion, as soon as it was accomplished, of retiring from active life, and terminating his days quietly in the city which gave him birth. Yesterday the Loan MAYOR held a Court of Aldermen at Guildhall, for the dispatch of ge neral business, previous to the Christmas recess, at which Mr. Berresford, the second clerk to the Sitting Justices at Guildhall, was appointed to , be the principal clerk, in the room of Mr. Payne deceased ; and the next Court was appointed for the election of a successor to Mr..Berresford.-1 Several persons were allowed and sworn brokers, and sundry coal undertakers licensed. THE CANAL. IN THE PA ax.--The draining and cleansing of the Canal in St. James's Park having been for some time past completed, the steam engine which was erected on the north bank, for the purpose of forcing out that portion of the water which was below the level of the sewer, has been taken down and removed. The Canal is now 'filling with fresh water, and from its communication with the River, It will in future be kept pure and sweet. Workmen are at present employed in scurf/fine; the P,arade, in front of the Horse Guards, preparatory to giving it a new cover of gravel or other hard material ; a process which was much required, as every frequenter of the Park must have observed after rainy weather. - _ _ fItANSLATION.---In ono of his works, Sir JOHN Paistors. mentioning his having cured a patient by the use o f two quarts of Dog and . Duck water daily, (a mi ne ral opting in , St. George's Fields), a French physician, in his translation of the case, specifies it as a broth made of a Dog and a Duck ! FAHSIONABLE CHANGES.

Stewart, anti a distinguished party, to dinner yesterday, at their house in Charles-street, Berkeley 'square.

To-morrow a superb dejfaine, a la fburchette, will be given in honour of the matrimonial alliance between Mr. Duncombe and Lady Mary Stewart, the second daughter of the Earl and Countess of Galloway. CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES. Great preparations are making at the Seat of Sir Charles 3lor gan, in Wales, for Christmas festivities. Many fashionahles intend leaving town for the worthy Baronet's hospitable seat in the early part of the ensuing week. The Earl of Kinnonl and some of his friends set 011 yesterday.

A LiatoN TAvEnti.---Yesterday Air. KAYI, the hospitable Proprietor of this place, gave a dinner to a select party of his friends, in which even the luxuries of the table were zurpassed by the intellectual banquet which the company afforded. Messrs. MATHEWS, MUNDEN, and C. KEMBLE were present ; and among the literary charac ters were Messrs. CROLY, AttlgoLn, LuNN, GRAHAM,, OAKLEY, Dr. KITCHIN sat, and other Gentlemen of well-known talents. Mr.MATHEws gratified the company with some humorous songs, us well as with someAmfaticArt anecdotes, which may be considervil us a foretaste of the pleasure that the Public nmy expect when he is next "Ar Home' in the Metropolis. Mr. MUNDEN also gave some diverting songs, marked with all that vis comica for which he is distinguished. Sallies of wit, satire, and humour flew about in all directions, and the whole may fairly be ranked US an ATTIC EVENING'S ENTERTAINMENT, in which festivity prevailed till a late hour, and w hich, in th e well-known words of PoPE, may aptly be styled `"The feast of reason, and the flow of soul." LITERARY BLUNDER.—WiIeR Dr. JOIINSON was compiling his Dictionary, 'he sent a note to the Gentleman's Magazine, to inquire the ety mology of the word curmudgeon. Having ob tained the desired ioformation, he recorded in his work his obligation to an anonymous writer " Conmono LON., s. a vicious way of pronouncing cour mOchant. An unknown Correspondent."— Am copied the word in his Dictionary in the following whimsical manner :—" Cuttmuuuros, from the French crow,' unknown,' and ml•ehant, 4 Correspondent.'" At the close of a tavern dinner, two of the company fell down stairs ; the one tumbling to the first landing-place, the other rolling to the kottom. Someone remarking that the first seemed dead drank---“ Yes," observed a wag, " but he is not so far gone as the gentleman below. THE ARMY. Tun FuirLExits.--On Monday evening the passenger* near the Asylum, St. George's-fi e ld s , were at . ,greeted by th e a p pearance of a ilitary bivouac under the walls of that Charitable and Religions Institution. The circumstance was occasioned by the arrival in town of a marching regiment, the 7th Fusileers. Most of the men obtained billets and quar ters, but several remained to guard the baggage which was taken out of the waggons and piled on the spot before mention ed. The sentinels walking round with their arms shouldered, presented a military spectacle by moonlight, quite unusual in the metropolis. A detachment of recruits marched yesterday morning from the Recruiting Department, Duke -street, Westminster, for the Ileakuarters of the 95th (now raising) Regiment of Infantry, In 'Winchester. A stinger detachment will march from the same Department to-morrow, for the llead.quarters of the 94th (now raising) Regiment of Foot, at Gl asgow. The detachments which proceeded from the Isle of Wight and Portsmouth, on the 12th instant, will arrive at Chatham ' on Friday and Saturday next, preparatory to their embarka tion for India, Four companies belonging to the 73d Regiment of Foot a r . rived, On th e 11 t h and ► instant, at Portpatrick, on their route to Ireland. On Thursday last (4th instant) an order was received at this garrison to detach seven officers on the recruiting service Ut. ferent parts Of the district,—(Cork Advertiser.) Yesterday (Wednesday, 10th instant) the recruiting panics in town received orders to complete their resin:live regiments, and to enli s t men f or t h e two new Regiments, the 94th and 13th, with all p oss ibl e diS patch. The new Regiments are to be commanded by Sir T. Bradford and Sir C. Ilalkett.— (Glasgow Cbronick.) The contemplated addition to the Army is, it seems, to be made by beat ot' drum, and not by volunteering from the Mi. Was. The novelty of a recruiting party parading our streets on Wednesday (10th instant) attracted a good deal of attention. Such a circumstance would have past unnoticed a few years ago.--(E,reter Gatelte.) lERCAN'!'CI,G SHIPPING.

COURT OF COMMISSIONERS OF BANKRUPTS.: Yesterday being the third and last Meeting of the Commis sioners under this gentl er n an ' s b an k ruptcy, considerable num. hers of persons were attracted to the Court of Commissioners, Basinghttll.street; amongst whom were many of the personal friends and acquaintances of the Reverend Bankrupt. The Commissioners were .101114 fIeAUCLEILK, JErytura fiNtalsciEn, and Jolts DYNELY, Esquires. Amongst the Gentlemen present the mysterious disappearance of the bank.. rupt was the subject of a ni ma t e d di scuss i on ; an d the laSt tune be was seen by any of them was in St. Ann's-court, Prince's -street, Soho.square.—The first debt proved was due to alr.
