i by civil war should be paid by those who excited it. Read a first time, and laid on the table for a second reading in the next sitting►. LISBON, MARCII s.—By the last news from Oporto, it is confirmed that the garrison of Chaves joined the infamous Count D'ABIARANTE, with the exception of a few officers. It is also cer tain that General REGO had gone with the forces under his command to Cervallo de Este, and was proceeding with the greatest ra pidity to encounter the factious. The column of Brigadier MANUEL LOUIS CORUEA, which was reinforced with a regiment and two pieces of artillery, was proceeding from Amarantes, and had reached Villa Real. All the troops and the inhabitants at Oporto shewed the greatest enthusiasm for the Constitutional Cause. In Beira the Commander of the troops had taken all measures to maintain the good spirit shewn by the military and the inhabitants. In the sitting of the Cortes of the 6th and 7th, various addresses from public societies, and from different regiments, were read, declaring their fidelity to the Constitution. Accounts from Braga state, that General Lii) no Itruc o arrived there on the Ist instant, and whilst the General, on the 2d, was addressing the troops, a Spanish Officer entered, crying " Long live the Portuguese Constitution P' uhich was received with . extraordinary enthu- ,iasm, and cries of " The Spanish Government for ever !" General It limo immediately marched to Lanhoso with the Spanish Officer, and the army in three columns, towards Basto and S'ala monde. We extract the following from the Dutch Pa pers, also received this morning : " FaANK ponT,IVIA acu 14.—A letter from A lex andria,duted Dec. 7, says, the Pacha received news of the 3d inst. that his Urn ISMAEL PACUA, who commanded the Turkish Army at Senaar, had been assassinated by a Negro Prince. This news had deeply affected the Viceroy. It is said that the murder was from revenge, the Negro Prince and his followers having sur. Prised and killed the guard, and murdered ISMAEL in his bed. FROM 41 CORRESPONDENT.] STOCK EXCHANGE, Huff-past Twelve o'Cloch.— The report which was spread on Saturday afternoon of the march of the Russians to assist the French seems to have been a Nurse de Guerre, to keep up the price of Consols, which opened this morning at 741,- 1., at which price they re main up to this hour with a flat market and little business doing. Two Expresses have arrived from Paris, bringing the French !lentos 78-50. Rumours of a warlike description are afloat be tween this country and France. We willnot men. tion them until they are more authenticated.— We also understand that the heads of the Minis. terial Departments were called together yester day on some important subject, which has not as yet transpired. This moment Consols are done at 731-74. FOREIGN FUNDs..—The above Market is very dull this morning, and scarce any business doing. Spa i nish Bonds opened it 26 to-I,ond are now '26, *WI a heavy Market. American Papers to the 2d Mardi arrived this The following are extracts : Morning. [From the New York Gazette of the le[ March.] e learn from our Charleston Correspondent, by an arrival at that port from Curacoa, that the British frigate S'ybelle had gone to Maracaibo to Bernal►d the British property taken there by MonALEs, to the amount of three hundred thou sand dollars, with positive orders to make repri sals, in case of its not being given up. FROM HAVANNAll._Captain BROOKS, arrived at Norfolk from Ilavannah, states, that the great excitement occasioned by the capture of the Nil-fa Catalina still continued. A Mr. Gadlard, of Charleston, was butchered in a most• shocking manner, for having observed that Commodore Porter would soon be among them. A British fleet was daily expected, as allso a new Governor. A Spanish fleet of 15 sail sailed a few days be fore for Cadiz. BATAVIA, Nov. 9.—On the 16th ult. a tre mendous volcano poured forth stones and lava f ;° 1.1 ) a mountain ab ou t 200 m il es f rom the city. ive thousand natives were buried by the stones 40d ashes -300 burnt. By Letters from Paris, it appears that the Marshals SOT;LT and SUOMI' have declined the offer of cOmmands in the French Army. It is likewise stated in these com munications, that a most shameful delusion has been practised by the 3lembers of the Holy Alliance, anti that it Wits th ne quwocally agreed to and determined upon by all of ;bem at Verona, " th at F rance s h ou ld i nva d e Spa i n, " and at thr e e of the Great Powers were.to he in readiness to a s si s t e . r in t hi s most unjustifiable aggression whenever required. 'Nat another of the Parties to the Treaty of Paris was not t o be required or expected to shew that it had any participation was consenting to, this arrangement, to interfere with , -Pain, but w as to b e a l lowed to wake a friendly demonstration favour Of that gallant nation, yet on a most positive and istinc t un derstanding, that she was not to aid or assist Spain ill the war with France. We give these rumours as we have received them, without vouching in any manner for their au tiletlticit.Y. We are, however, most reluctant to believe, that the Government of the Great Power, last alluded to, would so far commit and disgrace their country by being parties to such an understanding; and we are confirmed in this opinion, by the unqualified declaration of an eminent Statesman, that the country referred to " was unfettered by any arrangement, and " was at perfect liberty to adopt whatever line of conduct it " chose under any emergency which might arise in Europe ;" but we are sorry to say, that these Letters convey insinuations respecting the conduct of the Mediating Power, which we do not feel ourselves warranted in communicating at the present moment to our Readers, not only as to its conduct at Verona, but also at Paris; but should occasion render it necessary, and subsequent events justify the intimations to which we have alluded, we shall not hesitath to submit the whole of the in formation which we have received , to the public. There is no truth whatever that Austria has withdrawn from the Holy Alliance, and has determined to be neuter in the war with Spain. On the contrary, these communications clearly spew, that Austria is firmly determined to adhere to its arrangements with the other Powers ; and, should occasion re quire, her troops are ready to co-operate with Fiance. It is. generally believed, that a certain Cardinal, RELATED to the Emperor of AUSTRIA, will be the successor of the present POPE! The House of Lords met this morning at ele ven o'clock, according to adjournment, when the Bills received the Royal Assent,which had awaited that important exercise of the prerogative on Saturday. The extraordinary delay which occur red on Saturday, was owing to the non-arrival of the Messenge from Brighton until. after Five o'Clock, when the Houses of Parliament had adjourned. TILE KINo.--(Brighton, March 23.) His MAJ ESTI, attended by the Lord Steward, Sir W. K EPPEL, &c. was present at Divine Service in the Royal Chapel to-day. It gives us the highest satisfaction to state that his MAJESTY has recovered much of his natural healthy appear ance since this day se'nnight. The Sovereign no longer rests his left hand in a sling, but has the free use of both arms, and his step is uncon fined and firm. His MAJESTY'S pious observance of the Sacred Service is always an example to the collective congregation. EGYPT.—We are happy to find that the inven tion of propelling vessels by steam is likely to prove extensively advantageous to the Manufactures of our Country, as we have resson to believe that the communication between Great Britain and her Indian possessions, for the transmission of light and valuable articles ofßritish Manufactures t is on the eve of being accelerated in a manner not contem_plated by the Public. We are warranted in this statement from the information which we have received, that extensive arrangements have been formed, with the concurrence of Government, for the esta blishment of steam vessels to convey passengers and light goods from this Country to Grand Cairo; and that the Pasha of Egypt has engaged to have from two to three hundred camels always in readiness to facilitate the communication from Cairo' to Suez, and from Suez to Cairo, and that the expense shall not exceed live shillings sterling per hundred weit;ht. Similar arrangements have been made for the passage prom Suez to Surat and other places. On Saturday at three o'clock a Cabinet Coun cil was held at the Foreign Office, Downing. street, which was attended by the Earl of West morland, Mr. Peel, Mr. Canning, Earl Bathurst, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Viscount Mel ville, the Duke of Wellingtoni-Mr. Wynn, Lord Bexley, Lord Maryborough, and Viscount Sid mouth. The Earl of LIVERPOOL was absent on account of the recent decease of his cousin, Col. JENKINSON. The Lord CHANCELLOR was also absent. The Cabinet continued in deliberation until about a quarter before five. Colonel Sir FREDERICK HANKER arrived yes terday morning with dispatches from Sir Tuos. MAITLANnot the lonian Islands. Colonel - JENIONSON, of the Royal Artillery, first cousin of the Earl of LIVERPOOL, died at the noble Earl's house in Whitehall on Friday evening, after an ill ness of some months. He distinguished him se lf in the battles in Spain under the Duke of WELLINGTON, and was in the 41st year of his age. We are sorry to learn, that accounts reached town on Saturday of the death of that eccentric individual, RICHARD MARTIN, Esq. M. P. for the County of Gal woy.—(lllorriing Chronicle.) An intelligent Naval Gentleman who has been residing some time at Toulouse, recently left that City and travelled the Coast Road of France to St. Maloes. He states that about 259 English are remaining at Toulouse, where the most Violent antipathy to the War exists among the civil classes. lie computes, from his conversa tions with Military men, that about 100,000 troops of all descriptions are now collected at the Northern foot of the Pyrenees, who however well disposed to be actively em ployed, do not scruple openly to express their utter dislike to the principles and views avowed for their intended campaign. At Rochefort, there are six sail of the line in condition for sea, but not manned or rigged ; at Brest, there are twenty sail of the line, only one of which is equipping for sea. Brest, and all the towns, garrisons, and villages, are completely drained of soldiers, as, since the first orders for collecting an army near Bayonne, a second collection has been as sembled in the Western Provinces, with orders to repair to Flanders ; and 8000 troops lately marched through Rennes on their way to Valen ciennes and Cambray. DREADFUL A ITAI 1 1 .—MURDER.---Ct Saturday evening, about 7 o'clock, the neighbourhood of Newington was thrown into great consternation. Mr. BRIGGS, a respectable tradesman of King's row, left his horse and chaise for a short time by the footpath : in the interim of going into his house, three coal-porters passed, and one of them struck the animal, which caused it to plunge on the footpath, and a man was nearly killed. Mr. natoos, on seing the transaction, remonstrated with the men on the impropriety of their conduct, when some words arose, and an attack was made upon him, in which he received a severe blow, supposed to be on the jugular vein, which felled him to the ground, and instantly caused his death. Mrs. BRIGGS, OD being inforMed 'of the circumstance, became frantic, and although medical assistance was immediately procured, she is in a deplorable condition, being Pregnant with her fourth child. Two of the offenders were taken into custody, and await the result of the Coroner's Inquest. THE THEATRES. kING'S THEATRE.—A crowded audience at tended this Theatre on Saturday to witness the representation of La Donna del Lugo and Alfred the Great. The Duke and Duchess of GLOU CESTER, and a large train of Nobility, were pre. sent, Davit Y•LANE.—T he Haunted Tower, with the support of BitAHAM and Miss STEM ENS, Who %were the Lord William and "Mehl, was re presented on Saturday. They were both much applauded, and a very numerous audience were detained till the end by the humours of Simpson and Cu. . - COVENT-GaADEN.- 7 -The new Tragedy of .Ift limn evidently gains ground. It was well et ten'ded on Saturday, and seemed to excite a strong and general interest. ADELPHI THEATRE.—The following Farewell Addresi was spoken by Mr. WRENCH on Satur day night :—. _ LADIES .AND GENTLEMEN—Another season pre-eminently marked by your patronage and approbation, drawing this even ing to a close, calls upon me for the renewal of a pleasing duty—that of returning the most grateful acknowledgments of the Proprietors and Performers of this Theatre for your kind and fostering encouragement. At the close of the last distinguished season, memorable for having been that in which the celebrated extravaganza of Ton add Jerry was, first presented to your notice, the Proprietors pledged themselves to produce a novelty, that for variety, extent, accuracy, and beauty, should not have been excelled : they trust that in bringing forward the splendid entertainment of Green in France, they have fully redeemed that pledge. To render the scenery; dresses,, and decorations characteris tic of the various pieces produced, the Proprietors have, this season, engaged the services of artists, whose united talents have enabled this little Theatre to compare, in those particulars, with its more extensive rivals, to w h om appr opriate scenery and splendour of decoration had been considered, almost exclusively, to belong. In conclusion, I am directed to inform you, Ladies and Gen tlemen, that a Company, comprising the present established fa vorites, in addition to. fresh candidates, and a variety of new pieces by the most favourite Authors, shall next season be waiting, to evince our gratitude for past, and to deserve your future support.—Till when, I beg, most respectfully to bid you farewell. OLYMPIC TLIEATRE.—This House closed on Saturday night for the season. The following Farewell Address was delivered by Mr VININ•G " Ladies and Gentlemen—Privious to the curtain falling for the season, allow me, in the name of the Proprietor, to return his thanks for your patronage, and make his acknowledgments for the favour with which you have received the various new and revived pieces during the season, m a ny of w hi c h h ave b een honoured with your most decided approbation. The Performers, Ladies and Gentlemen, offer you their warmest sense of obliga tion for the applause with which you have marked their various exertions. For myself, be pleased to accept my grateful thanks for the kind indulgence with which you have at all times re ceived me, more particularly whenever occurrences have placed me before you in my capacity of Stage Manager. The Com pany, considerably augmented, remove, after this evening, to Sadler's Well Theatre, where, on Easter Monday next, they trust to meet their kind friends again, with their usual light hearts and merry faces, till which period, Ladies and Gentle. men, we very respectfully bid you farewell." GENERAL DUMOURIEZ. II EN LEV-ON.TIIADIES, :MARCH 21.—This day the remains of the once celebrated Gen. Durnouriez were interred in a vault, within the parish church of St. Mary, H en l ey - on -Th ames . The procession, consisting of a hearse (drawn by six horses, and followed by three mourning coaches and four), the late General's private carriage, and the carria g e s o f f our ot h er gen. tlemen residing in the neighbourhood, left the m ans i on at T r ville-park "about twelve, and arrived at Henley Church a little after two o'clock. The coffin, richly emblazoned and covered with crimson velvet (and on which were placed his sword, epaulets, and the Star of the Order of St. Louis) had the fol lowing inscription on a brass plate, with his arms richly engravers:— - CHARLES FRANCOISES DUIVIOURIEZ. EX GENERAL EN CHEF DES AR3IEES FRAI 4 ICAISES, MOltT, LE 14 MARS, MDCCCXXIII. AGE HE 84 A.NS. The funeral service was performed by the Rev. Dr. Sc9bell, the new Rector of Henley, who is also Vicar ot"furville, in which parish the late General resided. Among the mourners we noticed General Stevenson and Mr. Bowring (the gentle men lately detained in France.) It is a remarkable circumstanee, that the late General ar rived at TUrville Mansion this very day twelve months, about half.past two o'clock in the afternon, at)vhich time, this day, the funeral service was being performed. The funeral, which was very handsome, and attracted a very large concourse of spectators, was Plumbe and Son, of Henley. conducted by Mes ;rs. LECTURES ON ASTRONOMY.—Ainong the at tractions during LENT, we regret that other matters of general importance prevented our noticing the Lectures on this sublime subject delivered by Mr. 'WALKER in the Concert Room at the KIHG'S THEATRE, and by MP,BAUTLEY at The Lyceum Theatre. The former had the ad vantage of long experience, derived from the tuition and practice of his late father and brother, an d th e posssession of their grand machinery, w hi c h hi s own observations and ability have en abled him to improve. Mr. BARTLEY, on the other hand, though without the same advantage of Family instruction and practice, has evidently such knowledge of the science, and conveys it with such forcible and easy eloquence, and has also such admirable machinery, as to render his Lectures very intelligent and interesting. His Lectures concluded ou Wednesday. We were glad to witness a numerous audience on the occasions when we attended, and we are glad to learn that both of these able Professors have not afforded pleasure and instruction to the Public without due recompence to themselves for so highly important and gratifying an entertainment. THE Aars.—Mr. M. SHARPE, who displayed his taste and talents so ably in a representation of the whole of the Drury-Lan e Company at to that very year or two ago,tet a is t tending n tl r e p r e r a e d p i a n r g i n o g f a a e t n r rn a g p e a d n y i on gratifying picture in the representation of the actors and actresses of Covent-Garden Theatre, which promises to be equally faithful in similitude and still more interesting in effect. The former Painting display e d the persons of th e respective performers in th e i r u sual attire, but i n t h e latter consisting they appear in a P ag eant, of the prominent characters of SHAKSPEARE in proces sion, to pay homage at the Shrine of the immortal Bard. The artist has therefore more scope for the picturesque in the various dresses and costume of different ages. This picture will, we doubt not, be one of the most attractive and admired ornaments of the ensuing Exhibition, and be considered as a striking proof of British talents. An admirable Print, from a Picture by the same Artist, styled " SUNDAY MORNING," in which a maid -servant appears washing the face of , a child, who seems to have su (Fermi from the effect of the soap in his eyes, has just issued from the graver of Mr. CHARLES lIEATJI. The Picture represents the incident with true Hogarthian humour, and the print copies it with such accuracy, spirit, and mechanical excellence RS to show that Mr. C. HEATH possesses a full portion of hereditary taste and genius. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS. The Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, from Aletwick Castle ; the Dowager.

M)4 DEMOISELLE hi ELIC nOTTI. _— cc She was bro ight from Spain to England about four year ago, by his Lordship, anal then appeared for one night only at the King's Theatre. Though scarcely more than a child, and her part one very subordinate, there was a grace and playfulness in her manner which attracted immediate at okf-epyerfedorsituriathngcee,r it w t a vi s ts w s i e t e h n w. at tention. t h i o regret O On that t ie t h following low g ig lovely antlrdrawn. She was then immediately removed to Paris, for the cultivation of her talents, and placed under the tuition of the i lt t inimitable Couloh. After dancing at the Acadan,;e Royale for a short time, she was transplanted to this country, and made her first appearance at the King's Theatre on the 19th January, 11122, in the ballet of Pandore, without any announcement of her previous appearance on the same boards. Her reception was flattering in the highest degree. She next came out in the Carnival de Venise, and then as Eliza, in the ballet of The Pages. Since that time she has b een the most decided favourite on these boards. It s not many weeks s in ce formal proposals of marriage wer,e made her by a man of title, and also by a Gentleman of family and fortune, both of which she declined. The Nobleman to whom we have alluded has never avowedhimself as her father, but his watchfulness and attention could only result from paternal anxiety. Ile has lat terly wished her to leave the stage and retire into private life, but her profession was to her a pleasure, and site preferred remaining on the boards. Her Tension from the Theatre was 8001. a season, and his Lordship besides allowed her a guinea a day, and paid for her apartments, dress, and mas ten. Though she was pe rm i tte d to remain on the Stage, the Noble Lord expressed the greatest reluctance to her marrying a person of the same profession.' He has often told her, and declared to others, that if' she married a gentleman of goo d family, not connect e d with the stage, he would immediately present her with a fortune of fifteen thousand pounds. Among the earliest of Alercandotti's admirers was Mr. Hughes Ball; his assiduities were for some time diverted away to another quarter; but on the termination of that affair be again was seen the most constant and perhaps the most favoured of her ad- Mirers. His ofnrs it is said, were in proportion to his for tune and acknowledged gallantry ; 2,0001. a year was a tempta tion which few in Uercandotti's situation could withstand, but her heart was pure, and that offer was reject e d. V ar i ous ot h er proposals of a similar nature were made and successively reject ed, until at last, as we are told, her youthful and enamour ed Creesus tendered his heart, his hand, and princely fortune. Those were immediately accepted, and in the early part of last week various consultations were held in the court of Hy men, generally called Doctors' Commens, as to the practicabi- EV of a . private marriage, or if a special license could be pro cured. To the latter there were many demurs, as the exigency of the case could not be deemed sufficient to require it ; but with regard to the former, an advice was given, which appears to have been followed. On Saturday week arrangements were made, and a carriage Mid four horses were in'waiting, as we are informed, near Leicester..square. The Gentleman was seen last at White's, in St. James's-treet, at eleven On that night. He was balloted for and admitted to the club on that day, and he then made his first appearance. A short time after, it is supposed, that he and his fair partner, and her mother, stepped into his carriage and drove off—whither they are gone, or where they now are, is a matter of which the town is still totally igno rant. Indeed their actual intentions are still enveloped in mys tery, but we deem it honourable to take the moat favourable view of the circumstances."—( Morning Papers.) The Rev. Dr. BLOMIERG performed Divine Service in yesterday to the King's Ho use h o ld, at hi s Ma j esty ' s Palace The Duke of 13Eovoftn, we are happy to state, is somewhat better. Mr. COOPER, of Drury-lane Theatre, is en gaged, after the termination of the present sea son, Air live years, at Covent-Garden, and we understand on terms as creditable to his own talents as to the liberality of the Manager. Mr. COOPEti is also engaged at the Haymarket Theatre, where he e ill appear shortly after the opening of the house, on the 15th of June next. Chrmick.) THE ROYAL NAVY.
