POSTSCRIPT.—We have this instant received the positive information of the surrender of L3adajoz. FROM MADRID, OCT. 28.—A letter contains the criminal accusation against Count Don Ra phael Ringo. (From the Pilote of yesterday.) PARIS, Nov. 3.—M. de Villele transacted bu siness with the Kiug. The King went out at two o'clock, and took a ride towards Vincennes. It is affirmed at Paris that M 4 de Villele has definitively obtained from his colleagues the dis solution of the Chamber; but it is not known as yet what he is to give in return. It appears certain, notwithstanding the efforts of the French fanatics, that the liberty of Spain will not be entirely extinguished, and that something will still remain to that country of the Revolution of 1820. Counsellors more wise than those who dictated the Decrees of Santi Petri, -Xeres, and Seville, have caused Ferdinand to listen to his interests, and to the wishes of the public voice. It is said the King ,has listened to the pressing solicitations of his true friends, and that the Peninsula is on the Point of receiving a Constitution, in exchange for that which existed before the entrance of our troops. C, ITY, Twelve o'clock.--Both the Bank and Stock Exchange are shut this day, owing to its being the sth November : but the Auction Mart Coffee House Is opened, where persons, on pay ing one shilling each, are admitted to an oppor- Unit,' of having "a spec." in the different Funds.

We have no reports this morning. No little sensation was excited yesterday in the City, by the appearance of a Prospectus for a .l(ap of £640,000 to the Knights of the Order of Si• John of Jerusalem, who having, it appears, obtained a cession of territory from the Greeks, hare suddenly started once more into the rank of a Sovereign Power, under the direct sanction and approbation, as they declare, " of the French Government, and other European Pow ors."--.The securities which the Order offers for th e PrePosed loan appear to be substantial, and to be so ample as to inspire the monied interest with sufficient confidence to embark in the loan on the terms • propo-es d• 'There can be no doubt, therefore, but that the required amount will be furnished ; and there can be as little doubt that it will enable the Order both to establish itself in its new seat of Government with becoming sPiendour, and to co-operate efficaciously with the Greek s in resisting the re-imposition of the Turkish .3re ke on t h e fi ne provinces which have been 1 t telY wrested from the Porte by the valour of their Christian inhabitants. In so far as this ; level and extraordi n a r y p rocee di ng i s li kely to he f avourabl e to the cause of the Greeks, we can- Slot but view it with satisfaction, although it is im 11°131ble not to see that even in this affair, politi 411Yinsignificant as it may appear to be, France is i f°in g'!"'yond us, and is s il en tly l ay i ng th e founda .lens fo r h er future influence and ascendancy in the East o f E urope as well as in the West ; I n d that whilst she has been openly engaged ' i thr "ing the P en i nsula at h er feet, and in in _.egeing eve n w i th the new States of South Ame r' a (on e of her confidentialagents w hich, by t hq w. • ') ISa Knight of this very Order of St. Julie of Jerusalem), she has not been unmindful of the adv a ntnges W hi ch may be derived hereaf ter ft ote 'e establi s h ment o f one o f h er pro tegtes • in Greece ' The resumption of sovereignty t'9 th e c i d 1 --le afit Knights of Malta, is, neverthe ess/ an • Interesting event, and associates itself go , L the imagieation with the glories of the age Chi tof ere yt and with the splendid services here conferred by this Order in particular lip oß „ %Aril( en e sapprehension has been pre s`s ... 4 om.

The consequence of the original capture of Malta by the French, was the annihilation of the seat of Govern ment of the Order, and the dispersion of its Members over the different countries of Europe. It continued, however, to exist without the consolidation of a settled and central Government, and still possessed very consider able revenues, besides a large tract of country in France, which, by a law passed since the restora tion of the BouanoNs, reverts to them. The Order always included a considerable number of indivi duals of the first families of the different countries of Europe ; and its determined valour, in the support of Christianity, during many centuries, entitled it to that support which it received from the different European Powers. To the skill and bravery of the fleets and armies of the Knights of Malta was Europe long indebted for its best protection against the plunder of pirates, and for the ransom of those unfortunate Christians, whom the successes of the Turks, and their dependants, the States of Barbary, had con demned to slavery.—We subjoin the Prospectus of the Loan : " The Order of St. John of Jerusalem is a Sovereign Order. It has existed more than 700 years, and is acknowledged by all the Powers of Europe. It exercised all the rights of Sovereignty. —possessed fleets and armies—named ambassadors—coined money..L.had its flag, levied taxes, &c. " This Order is composed of individuals of the noble families of the different nations of Europe. Its seat of government was originally Jerusalem, subsequently Rhodes, and, lastly, Malta. " BUONAPARTE captured Malta ; but Great Britain having conquered the island from the French, it was finally ceded to her by the treaty of Paris, in 1814. "Thus, not only the island of Malta, but also property to the amount of 300,000,000 of francs, sold during the revolution in France, were lost to the Order. It, nevertheless, has pre served its political existence throughout Europe, waiting a favourable opportunity to plant its standard in a place of go vernment. " The emancipation of Greece has presented that opportu nity. The Greeks reclaim their alliance with the Order, which formerly possessed the bailiwicks of Negropont and the Mona. " Treaties have been entered into, and cessions madeto the Order, by Greece. These circumstances have given rise to the present Loan, of which the following are the principal condi. ;ions, viz.: -- " The amount 640,0001. 5 per cent. stock. The interest to commence from the Ist September last, payable half.yearly in London, on the let March and Ist September in each year, without any deduction, on forty.four dividend warrants attach. ed to each bond. " Two dividends to be retained in the hands of Messrs. HULLSTT, BROTHEAS, and Co. " The Loan to be redeemed by a Sinking Fund in 20 years, from the Ist of September, 1825 ; but the Order reserves the right to pay it off; at 80 per cent. on or before the let of Sept. 1829, upon giving public notice to that effect, on or before the ht of June, 1825. " As securities for the payment of the dividends, and the re demption of the Loan, the Order mortgages the whole of its revenue and estates, present and future, and more especially certain forests and other real property now existing in France unsold, belonging to the Order, valued at 29 millions of francs ; and of which it will have possession, agreeably to the law passed on the Sth of December, 1814, as soon as the Order shall be re established in a place of government, which is now on the eve of accomplishment, with the entire concurrence of the French Government and other European Powers. " Independent of considerable arrears, the Order is in the receipt of a revenue, in the different States of Europe, to the annual amount of 3,790,760 francs. " Besides the annual revenue enumerated, the passage: or entrance fees of 4,000 knights, now inscribed, and ready to be admitted, will amount, upon an average of 3,000 francs each, to twelve millions of francs. " The contract provides for the appointment of agents to re, ceive the revenues of the Order, for the payment of the divi. dends and redemption ; and directs the application of the pro. seeds of the Loan to the objects proposed. " The Order of St. John of Jerusalem has no debt whatever. " The Bonds will be divided in the following manner, viz. Class A. 200 bonds of NO/. each ; Class B. COO bonds of 2001. each Class C. 4,200 bonds of 1001. each-3,000 bonds. " The first dividend will be paid on the Ist March next. The payments are to be made into the hands of Messrs. HULLETT, BROTUERS, and Co., in the following man. ner, viz.: -- " A deposit of 10 per cent. immediately. 10 per cent. on or before the 15th Dec. next. 20 per cent. on or before the 15th Jan. 1824. 26 per cent. on or before the 20th Feb. 1824. 6C per cent. " Discount, for anticipated payment, will be allowed at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum." New• York Papers have arrived to the Ist October, but do not contain any intelligence o' terest. Frankfort Papers to the d 2. 9t h ult. have arrived They have brought the following intelligence : INSPRUCK, OCT. 20.—The most distressing accounts are received from the South of the Tyrol and Carinthia, describing the damage done by extensive inundations. A heavy rain for two entire days anti nights, anti on the night of the 18th an uncom monly hot south wind, with a most dreadful storm of thunder and lightning, converted all the streams in the mountains of the Tyrol and Carinthia into torrents, by the rapid melting of the sn ow. They poured into the rivers Gael and Drave, and swelled the latter in particular to such a degree, that it rose nearly four feet higher than in the extraordinary inundation two years ago. The damage cannot yet be estimated ; several bridges were carried away, and the roads rendered impassable for several days. Many lives were lost. Many dwellings were swept a way, and the stream was covered with many thousand fathoms of wood, immense floats of square timber, &c. The water has fallen as rapidly as it rose. His on theßoyal 18 Highness the Crown Prince of Bavaria arrived here in the evening, anti proceeded the next morn ing on his way to Italy. LEM»ERG, OCT. 10 —llls Highness Prince Metternich is still indisposed. THE THEATREi. DIWItY•LA NE. The Comedy, as it is by courtesy stiled, of She Stoops to Conquer, but which hi reality may rather be considered as an extended Farce, was represented last night at this Theatre. But, however it may he classed as a drama, it is evidently the production of a man of genius and humour, as all who know the works of GOLDSMITH will readily admit. F.4.l.trroN's Young Marlow, in the bashful parts, was very well supported, but he suffered the same sort of con straint to steal upon him during the times when he was to appear as the " affreetde Rattle." It must, however, be difficult to combine and vary the two characters. His expres sions of attachment to Miss Hardcastle under the assumption of the Bar-maid were given with great feeling and an impressive sense of honour. Old Hardcastle was very amusing in the hands of Do WTON. LISTON made his first ap pearance for the season in Tony Lump kin. He was of course warmly greeted on his entrance, and he gave the most diverting representa tion of the rustic wag that has been seen since the days of the admirable Original, QUICK. Mrs. HA RLOWE is very wisely sliding into the province of antiquated females, and her Mrs. ilardeastls is good proof of her success. There was no prominent merit in the rest of the performances. The house . .was very well attended . • • WINDSOR, Nov. 4.—Count MUNSTER, the Hanoverian Ambassador, arrived at the Castle this day, on a visit to his MAJEszy.—Count LIZVEN, the Russian Ambassador, and Baron FAQEL, the Ambassador from the Netherlands, took leave of the KING this day.—Earl FIFE also left the Castle for London. Yesterday his MAJESTY, attended by the usual persons of his suite, took his customary airing itv his phaeton in the ?ark.—Yesterday being the birth-day of the Princess SOPHIA, the morning was ushered in with ringing of church bells, &c. IRELAND.—(StaIe of the Country.)—Still tu multuous and outrageous in the South ; commit ting nightly depredations on their unprotected neighbours; but in this country the people are tran quil as we could wish, and disposed to industry if there were any means of employing them. We hope that something may be done to set the lower orders at work during the winter or spring, or our gentry shall be obliged to raise minima support. ing them in idleness. If there could be a fund raised by penny-a-week Societies, for this purpose, it might save the Police a great deal of trouble during the long nights. It will be acknowledged on every side, that it is much better to prevent the evil than to punish it. The true way to avoid the growing discontent, and the consequences that may result from it, is to stop up the spring at its source ; it may then divide itself into mur muring streams, but can never break forth in a torreut.—(Carluto Morning Post.)

Yesterday being the Anniversary of the landing 'of King WILLtAtd, it was observed in the usual manner. The Royal Standard was hoisted at the Tower. The Church steeples and many ships in the River displayed colours. POLAR EXPEDITION.—WC understand it is in the contemplation of the Admiralty to commission the Disco. very Ships for another voyage to the Polar Seas, with this dif. ference, that their route is now to be by Behring's Straits, whence they will sail eastward. The distance which must be traversed before they Ctka -well be said to commence proceeding to the object of their mission, and the consequent difficulty of reserving the necessary supplies, has hitherto been the obstacle to the attempt by this passage. This latter impediment it is now 'proposed 4) obviate, by sending a supernumerary vessel landen with necessaries, which will probably accompany then, to the neighbourhood of the littnitschatka coast. Capt. PARRY is again to take the commund.—( Morning Chroahle.) Mr. CANNING'S happy allusion to the state of our Navy, in his eloquent address at the Guildhall, on Wed nesday last (29th ult.) has this week, upon a small scale, been exemplified. On this day se'nnight orders were received at our Dock-yard for the immediate equipment of two line-of-battle ships, the Genoa and Superb, of 74 guns each, upon the full war establishment. Both these ships were brough down the harbour to the yard, and an engagement commenced upon them with such John Bull-like adroitness by the mechanics belong ' ing to that establishment, that by the following Tuesday the Superb was in " fighting order," and ready to unfurl her sails for sea. During this short period she had, to use Mr. Can fling's metaphor, "assumed the likeness of an animated thing— instinct with life and motion —ruffling, as it were, her swelling plumage—putting forth all her beauty and her bravery—col lected all her scattered elements of strength—and roused her dormant thunder !" With the Genoa We are sorry to he ar the men were not so fortunate., she havisig been found defective.

Beath, TUE LATE STORM. 'WINDSOR, Nov. 4.—We have here at this preaent tim e th e greate't flood that has been known for many years ; it cause very suddenly, and is supposed to be owing to the great gall of snow in the low country. Nothing can be seen from Alaidenhead eo Chertsey but water over the tops of the hedges. Eton is sue, rounded with water—every field is covered, and the water elms across the streets to such a depth that no one can pa s s exceptin a boat or mt.; the Little P a rk is under water, and part of this Park wall blown down by the violence of the water : no car riages can come to Windsor by Datchet, the water is so deep round the wall. The loss in cattle has been very great, becaueo the flood came so suddenly there was not time to remove theta to places of safety. We are happy to state the flood is begin,. ning to abate. BRISTOL, Nov. I.—We already begin to realize the an ticipations of an early and severe winter. A heavy and incol, cant rain on Thursday last was followed on Thursday night by a dreadful snow -storm, which covered All the hills in this neighbourhood, and rendered travelling in many places, lin. practicable. The night was truly a frightful one, and we feat that we shall have to record numerous instances of the eels mitous effects of the storm. Yesterday morning the low' grounds on the Gloucestershire side of this city exhibited the appearance of an immense sheet of water; arid persons who reside in the neighbourhood of Stapleton were compelled to make a detour of several miles before they could remit the city, The principal inundation, huwever, wss is the neighbour, hood of Baptist-mills and Earl's-mead. At five o'clock yester day morning the scene in this quarter was truly appallirg.— Many poor people, finding their dwellings sorroundeu by the water, with no apparent means of tame., were to:rifled beyond description, and their screams were heard in every direction. signals of distress were also made; but it was oot till a late hour in the morning that some humane individual. caused a boat to be convey in a Wagon to the spot, and in this several families were removed from the danger with which they were threatened. In the boat nt one time were an old man, two poor women, and two infitnt children, who seemed quit, exhausted by the terrors of their situatiod, and as grateful to their deliverers as if they bud been snatched from the jaVnOf death. It was reported yesterday that at ilaptist-mills g hottere had fallen into the water, and that two persons had lOst lives; but this was unfounded. AFFECTING CASE OF DISTRESS. An investigation was yesterday taken betoro Mr. ST IRLINO, at Saifron.hill, on the body of an infant child of Mary Ann Rose, who was detained In custody on suspicion of having starved it. The Jury viewed the body, which presented a most shockitag spectacle, being nothing but skin and bone. :1.4. STIRLING observed, that in the whole course of hits professional duties, be never befog had seen so emaciated an ObjeCt. Mr. Whitmore, surgeon, deposed to having, examined the body, at the request ut Mr. Scott, the churchwarden of Clerk. enwell. On opening it he found ell its organs in an healthy state ; there was no part diseased so IVA to account for its death. lle considered it to have died fur want of proper nourishment. Mrs. Oeorge, of Peter.street, stated that tke mother came to lodge with her about two months ago. On Wednesday last she told her that her child was dead. Prior to that, witrieee had reason to know that she was very distressed hi Citelini. stances.
