SOLICM QUIS DIOERE YALSUM AUDICAT LONDON, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1823. The French Papers are unusually barren of intelligence. We have, however, this morning received the subjoined interesting communica tion from one of our best informed friends in Paris:— " Plats, DEC. 27, 1823.—0ur Ministry have at last, partly by threats, partly by entreaties, obtained an Order of Ferdivand's Counci! that 'the Douce of Amnesty shall be published imme diately. They seem to think that the Decree «ill set every thing right throughout Spain ; but in the mean time the people are exercising their private vengeance against their enemies, and whole provinces are reduced to. the extremity of want and distress. The Spaniards, however, may starve, or cut each others throats,without any dangerof French interference for at least 3 months to come. The elections for the new Chamber of Deputies occupy all the cares of the Ministry. They are not satisfied with the enormous itiliL . ,,nce they possess by means of Prefets, Maires, Cures, and the cohorts of the visible and invisible Police, but, they employ the most illegal and the most impudent mea sures .against the Electors not in - their pay.— Every voter in Paris, who is known for his attachment to the Opposition, or for any friendly feeling towards Benjamin Constant, Manuel, or any of the liberal Deputies, has already received anonymous letters ordering: him to keep quiet ; for that there will inevitably be victims among those who impiously Op pose the wishes of Government. The Com missaries. of Police are already making the .tour of the Hotels garnis, to inform the own ers, that if they do not vote properly, their hotels 'Will be shut up; and 'it is known that no coffee-house, shop, or hotel, can be kept without the permission of Govertnent. It is rarely that Government exercises arbitrary acts in the capi ta!, on account of the superior spirit and intelli gence of the inhabitants; but when it acts here in this undisguised manner at present, what must be the excess of its tyranny in the provinces ? " Since the Chamber has been disOlved, great anxiety bas been shewn by all parties, to uscer. taro whether the present Ministry are to re main in stela quo. It is not thought that •.; many of the Members will remain. M. de Villele feels the 'strong necessity of having an able debater in the Chambers, for at the pre sent moment the Ministers have not a single Member to put forward, with the exception of M. de'Martignac, and it would be necessary to give him a seat in the Council. If M. de Villele t.ould follow his own views, he would have :,rut M. de Peyronnet adrift, and put Martignac his place. But Peyrounet is supported by the Pavilion Marton, and M. de Villele having 110 other place to dispose of, is at this moment in • great perpleiity. Since' he cannot make M. de Martignae Minister of Justice, Villele intends to make him ililinis.ter of Marine—thinking, with th e Turks, that. when God gives a p lace ' he gives the talent to . fin it. " The creation of 27 new Peers has set all the mob of nobility in the Faubourg St. Germain upon the qui vive; they are all determined to be Peers. Petitions, demands, threats, are poured in gallant Confusion upon M. de Villele, and scarcely a de puty of the right side (cote drat) but thinks him lel; aggrieved by not. being included in the late batch of the fiailiffisl. M. de Villele gives them 411 promises, knowing the difficulties of the pre sent crisis. He says be will soon make another promotion, though it is believed he does not intend to keep his promise': But the wily President will be forced to it by the united influence of the puppy-loving Dowagers of the Court,—that if he expects them to exert their talents for in- trigue in the approaching elections." PAlus, DEC. 9.%.—The gay Lord BIRRYMORE, died here last Thursday. The post between Paris and Malaga is extremely irregular ; and, froin answers not being received in Paris from accurate correspondents there, it is supposed it has been interrupted by banditti. hauntsTox has written to the father of the lad who was shot in the Tituilleries by the centincl, on the Duke of Azioou- LEME'S arrival, that the KING has granted him a pension of 1,000 francs, which on his death is to extend to his wife. Letters from St. Petersburgh state that the affairs of Greece are now occupying the anions attention of Government, and the ultimate important decision will soon be learnt. Yesterday Prince Iloitietnoux received from the hands of the Kixo the insignia of the Order of St. Louis. One of the tribunals in Paris is busily occupied at present in a case between Mansti and ROCHZ, and Count STACIPOOL, who received in France letters of naturalization and title of ?Count, for the recovery of large sums of money ; and much eloquence has been displayed by the lawyers for the parties. The National Guards are to invite the Duke D'A.wootiLLll to a dinner in the Hotel de Vile, and this will finish all the fetes, and restore the Capital to some degree of tranquillity. Notwithstanding the private intelligence from Paris, which represented the French and Spanish Governments as being at length disposed to treat with the South Americans, on the basis that the new states should pay a sum of money as the price of an acknowledgment of their inde pendence, it is still believed in well-informed political quarters that the design exists of send ing out a Spanish Prince with Royal Powers to organize a Government, and to endeavour to retain the sovereignty of some part at least of the ci-devani Spanish Colonies in the Bourbon family, if the hope of re-annexing them to the Spanish Monarchy he entirely abandoned. It would be vain to deny that such an enterprise, if supported by French gold and a Spanish arma ment, might be successful. CITY, Tooke o'Clock.—Consels opened this morning at 86 1 4-7, at which price they remain steady up to this hour, with little doing. We do not hear of any Express having arrived from Paris, .which must be attributed to very little variation of the French Funds, or to the stormy night. The Austrian Loan is expected to come out to-morrow. We have no reports nor any news. FOREIGN MARI:FT.-1115 bcing Settling Day for all Foreign Securities, very little business is doing except in sottlinz the accounts. The New Austrian Loan is in great demand at 31 . to 4 premium. Spanish opened at 261 ; - 1 ,. • Private letters from Rorne, of the 16th inst. state that the health of the POPE still occasions some uneasiness ; and that in the midst of his sufferings his Holiness shows the most angelic resignation and patience. The likeness of Basco is exhibited in all the print-shops of Paris. Representations of Doctor CASTAING, is wax are exhibited in Paris. There was a very slight fall of snow for a few minutes in Paris lust Saturday morning, the 20th, the first that has occurred this season : but on Monday the weather was singularly mild, and the thermometer of Fahrenheit stood about 50. The trial of the assassin for the attack on the Greek Archbishop comes on at Paris early next month : Ile is recovering of his wounds, and will be examined in Court. Yesterday afternoon -the Duke of YORK ar, rived in town from Lulworth Castle, the seat Mr. Secretary Pan.. _ _ Admiral JABAT, the late Spanish Minister to the British Court, has been recalled. His Ex cellency left town about ten days since, on his return to Spain. His successor has been appoint ed, but he has not yet arrived in England, but is shortly expected. Mr. Secretary CANNING, we Are happy to find, was able to transact bu s iness for a short time at the Foreign Office yesterday afternoon. The Right Hon. Gentleman is, however, far from re covered from his attack of gout. Miss MicAuL A.y.—This Lady closed last night for the present her Recitations at Saville House. The audience was elegant and numerous. At the conclusion of her performance Miss MAcAULAT announced, in a neat address, that she only sus pended her representations in order to procure leisure to prepare an entirely new Series, to which she hoped she should soon be able to invite her friends. MAIDSTONE, Dac. 29. Thomas Vaughan, who stands indicted for stealing two dead bodies from the church-yard of Maidstone, on the 2d or sd o f November, 1821, was apprehended in the metropolis, by the Beadle of Maidstone, on Wednesday last, for the forfeiture of his recog nizance, amounting to 4001., and stands com mitted for want of bail. It will be recollected that Vaughan's recognizance, amounting to 200/., was estreated on a former occasion, but upon proof of his indisposition, was taken off by the Court ; at this time he was in the King's Bench prison, and an application was made t o respite the recognizance, but the Court, not be• ing satisfied he was the person indicted ) estreated the recognizance.

FASHIONS FOR JANUARY, 1824. ( From La Belle Assemblie.) ~~'aLxlx6 DRESS.—Witzchoura p cline, of a - dark lavender colour, or slate, either of gras s de Naples or of sa tin, with a very broad border of ermine. he mancherons are beautifully formed of double rows of pointed straps, and finished next the arm with vandykes reversed. The collar is in the French style, but very narrow, and is surmounted by a double ruff of fine Mechlin lace. Bonnet of the same colour and ma terial as the . pelisse, lined with white: the brim of this bonnet is very large and wide, meeting under the chin, a la Capello, and the crown flat. One simple ostrich feather, the colour of the bonnet, falls over the right ear; on the left side is a superb white lace veil, which depends in drapery over the shoulder, and partly over the bust., A small lace cornette is worn Under the bonnet. The hall-bOota are of kid, the same colour as the pelisse. MORNING DgE3s.--This elegant home costume consists of a tunic robe of Iroede Napless, or poplin, of tourterelle colour, made high, and bust elegantly ornamented on each side by Brandenbourg tassels, but without either cordons or Crossings. The dress is fastened at the throat by a valuable, brooch, formed of one large chrysolite. A single narrow collar, of beautiful em broidery in fine India muslin, falls over the yet narrower col lar of the robe, the tunic sides of which are trimmed in gros dc .Naples, or satin, with united lotoe leaves. The border of the petticoat part is trimmed with two wadded rtruleaux nextlthe hem, and, these ronleaux are surmounted with a double ornament, aux elocheftes. The mancherons on the sleeves are trimmed with united lotos leaves, placed horizontally, to answer the trimming on the tunic. The head-dress is a . small hat:- cornette, of rose-coloured. gauze, the crown scattered. over with ftill-blown roses; one small half-blown rose is placed on the hair, over the left temple this very becoming cornette fastens under the chin, and ties on the left side with a small bow of rose coloured ribbon. A reticule of crimson velvet, with a gold cypher and gold tassels, half-boots of tourterelle corded silk, and Limerick gloves, complete this dress, which is well calculated to receive morning visits of ceremony, or to serve as a fire-side costume for a lady of milt end fashion, at any time of the day.

Robert Sime, servant at Balmulie-mill, in the parish of Inverkeillor, +•as brought to Arbroath jail, accused of having attempted to murder a young woman of the name of Mill, residing at Lawton, in the same parish. —According to the young woman's statement, she had become pregnant by Sime, who had promised to marry her ; and Saturday night was the time he had appointed to meet her in her father's house, for the purpose of making her a bride. Sime, however, did not keep his appoint ment, but called on Sunday morning, when it was agreed that another interview should take place in the evening. About 10 o'clock the meeting took place, in a field near the girl's fa ther's, from which place they proceeded, for the sake of shelter, to a neighbouring wood. Here Sime feigned sickness ; and taking a bottle from his pocket, which he said con tained spirits, he pretended to drink of it by way of cordial, and insisted that the girl should pledge him. Her suspicions beginning to be awakened, she refused to drink. He then af fected to embrace and fondle her : but, Judas like, in the midst of his dalliance, drew a razor across her throat. The incision was deep, and extended almost from ear to ear.— The girl struggled and screamed, though, in vain, for assistance. The deadly instrument had fallen in the scuffle, and been lost in the darkness of the night. But the monster beat and kicked her unmercifully, and dashed in her face the contents of the bottle ; which it appears con tained sulphuric acid, as her face, breast, and clothes were much burnt with the liquid. The hapless girl was then leftbleeding and insensible. She afterwards regained as much strength as en abled her to crawl home, and relate, as above, the particulars of the horrid story. Medical assist ance was immediately procured ; but it is doubt ful whether she will recover. Next day,, the infatuated Sime was seen " driving his team a-field :" but it seems he bad enjoyed little of that jocund gaiety which usually accompanies rural industry, for he had in the morning made an attempt to hang himself ; and a warrant having been procured in the course of the day he was apprehended. He solemnly protests his inno cence : alleging that the girl committed the deed herself, although he admits that be was present when she did it. The Magistrates have deprived the prisoner of every article with which they conceive he could effect his Off 11 destruction-- (Edinburgh Paper.) P 0 E 'l' R Y.

ODE TO THE CLOSING YEAR. Oh, why should I attempt to ring The knell of Time in sorrowing tone, Or sadly tune my lyre to sing A requiem o'er the year that's gone ? It has not been to me so bright That I should mourn its timely end, Or sit me down in grief to write Farewell to a departing friend ! And if 'twould tarry now with me, I should in sooth be apt to say, " Pass on ! rye had too much of thee To thank thee for an hour's delag." Thy course was mark'd, dark (losing yeah By many A sigh and bitter tear, By promised joys too long delay'd, By hopes that only bloom'd to fade, By all that steals the cheek's warm glow, And wrings the heart with silent woe, Damps the gay plumes of Fancy's wing, And nips her blossoms ere they spring, And turns the lightsome lay of gladness E'en in its flow to strains of sadness, And shades with clouds of care and fear The promise of another year. A.GRIC MAU 111; Mownwr ReroaT.:----This year, unlike the last, has closed with a continuing mildness almost unparalleled, and it may be feared will prove unfavourable, as it appears ungenial to the gene ral purposes of Agriculture. In several of the principal corn districts the plants or Wheat are so forced into un untimely luxuriance as to re quire feeding off thus early on free growing soils. —A considerable breadth of. Beans and Peas is got in through the eastern countie , .. The fal lowed lands are too wet to case about at present for barley and oats. The grazing countries abound in green feed, with the exception of Turnips, which prove generally a defective crop. Fine Meadow Ray is scarcer, and advancing in price. Clover Seed, both red and white, rises better than was expected. The Wheat Market still fluctuates between the wary specufatiens of the grower and the miller, but the short supplies of the two or three last markets do not indicate a continuing abundance, Bright Malting Barley is more in request, and Oats, Beans, and Pens are somewhat dearer. The rage for gross Smith field Club Beef having subsided, Smithfield has had a plentiful Christmas Show of natural-fed Beasts and Sheep, which were taken off at a sea sonable advance. Lean Stock is rather lower of most kinds, except well-bred Mitch Heifers, which sell fretly for more money. The Wool Market is nearly stationary at last Market's prices. PROCESS OF HATCHING POULTRY BY STEAM. The ingenious Mr. BARI.° W is now exhibiting a mechanical apparatus, which 1w states to be of his own invention, and to have been for several months under the examination of the Society of Arts, for hatching poultry and birds of every de scription, by a process of artiLial iocnhKtion, which he describes his success as in the prupor. tion of 16 to 20 eggs: of course it is essential that the eggs shall be fresh, and in the proper state. The apparatus consists of a small boiler of the common form for creating the steam, which is then passed through a conductor into an oven constructed for the occasion, and where the bas. bets are arranged iu which the eggs are deposit. ed ; the heat is regulated by thermometers, and the evaporation of the steam carried off and governed by hydrometers according to a simple and ingenious contrivance. But, of course, every inventor must have his secret ; and what secret ran there be without mysteyy ? There fore, this part of the apparatus, which regulates the application of the heat, is dwelt upon by the artist, is not developed for every day inspec tion, but the effect is demonstrated. Mr. Bar. , low's description of the process-:--and every in %entor has a right to speak for himself—is as, follows: " Spree is the egg exposed to the heat in the . oven 12 hours, when some lineaxnent of the body of the embryo chick begin,' to appear. The heart begins to beat at the endof the second day t at that time it has the form of a horse shoe. Oh the third day, two.vesicles with blood, the pulsation of which is very evident— one is the left ventricle, the other is the root of the great artery ; one Auricle of the heart appears about the SOth hour, which re sembles lace folded back upon itself. The beating of the heart may now be observed in the auricle, and afterwards in the ventricle. The faurth day, the wings may be distiegaised, und on the head two .knots for the brain ; one for the hill, end two others for the foie part and hind pert of the head ; the two auricles visible already approach nearer the heart than they did before. On the fifth day, the first euriele that ape pears seems to have two horns, but it afterefards appears to be auricles. About the sixth day, the liver is seen. The. first voluntary '•motion is obseried it the end of the 181st - bout. At the. end of • 138 hours the lungs and stetrnaeh become vi eible ; and at the . seventh. day, the intestines, the loins, and the upper - jaw, two ventricles may be seen, and two drop.; of blood instead of' one which - was seen at first, and the 'brain acquires some consistence, At ...the eighth Ala!: of incubation the bill opens, and the flesh appear* in the 11 - e.est ; ate, end of the 104th hour, the sternum (I. e. the breast-hone) is seen;. and on the 9th day, the ribs come out of the bet); .thebile and the gial-blatler . hecome.vissible; On the 10th dity the bile be comas green, and if the chick be taken from di integtuntnt, it can move itself inseasibly. 11th day, the feather, begthto shoot, and the skull becomes grisly. At the 12+ (lay, the eyes appear, and the ribs are perfect at the 288th hour. The 13th day the spleen approaches the stomach, and on the 14th and 13th days tt,in creases in size and bulk. • On the lfideday the heel:: openi' and shuts ; and about the 18th day the chick utters its first cry. Its strength then gradually incraues, till it sets itself at liberty by breaking the shell in .which It was confined." _ _ _ . The artificial process Will be seen from this description, to acCelerate by several daYS,: the natural operation ; and, a►i it might be cerried on to any extent, by the size or multiplication of ovens, a great advantage in the acquisition of stock would necessarily be derived, provider; the apparatus were found to work with the certainty and economy ascribed to it. We did not see enough of the mechanical parts of this invention to form any decided opinion upon the merit of their specific application ; from a su per ticial glabCP at them, they seemed to be and well applied. Whatever merit bohings to this invention must' be entirely confined to the trtech::- nical construction--for the priciple of artificial in cubation is very ancient. The Egyptians forages practised it by the immersion of the eggs of birds in hot dung, and something similar has been often practised in the farm-yards of this country. It is about eighty years since the Royal Society of Paris were engaged by M. de Reaumer in long discussions up►►n hatching and rearing birds by an artificial process, which he carried on himself to a great extent, by depo siting eggs in a warm soil, heated by artificial means, like our common hot-houses. The Jesuits who conducted the early missions into Ada, brought back to Paris, shortly before De Items mur's time, a variety of plans for promoting the same object, which they had acquired in the East; but these, after becoming the topics of no velty for the day, appear to have sunk into disuse and neglect. De REAUMUIt ) in his process, pretended ,'to have a secret, and as nobody followed up his plait, it probably died with him. Perhaps Mr. Barlow will take better care for the preservation of hlk plan for posterity, as death spares neither patents nor inventors. MERCANTILE SPUPPING. DraL, Dtc.
