W.—From persons who have just returned from Verona, We receive vat.i -! ous information respecting what passed at the Congress. It was really proposed to obtain for the Greeks-, if possible, in several parts of their ancient country, namely, in the Morea and the Islands, a kind of independence, • without, how ever, withdrawin g their territory from the supre- Macy of the Porte, or too much affecting the prin. Oples laid down by the Congress of Vienna, re. *peeling the integrity of the Turkish Empire.— This seems, to many enlightened Nlinisters,asthe best means to reconcile policy with humanity and 'civilization, and the Russian Cabinet could not object to such a plan, the Emperor Alexander ffay. ing repeatedly declared in the Official Notes de livered at Vienna by M. de Tattischeff, that in the affairs of the Greeks he had no views of ag grandizement. 'The instructions of the Duke Wellington were, in general, not to oppose any plans that might be proposed for the e mancipation, of 'the Greeks, provided they could be accomplished without increase of foreign influence in European and Asiatic Turkey. de Montmorency, it is said, was likewise in. (laced by M. de Chateaubrand not to oppose in general the delitierence of a part of Greece from the immediate dOminion of the Turks; however„ the affairs of Greece and Turkey seemed to, be considered by. the' French Plenipotentiary as secondary to those of Spain. It was agreed at Verona that fresh negotiations should be entered Upon at Constantinople, by the Christian Powers rn concert; but their result will chiefly depend on the turn things take in Turkey. If, as may be expect e d the critical situ a ti o n ' o f th o Turkio -rnpire should he rendered , still more alarm, illg, it may be hoped that the embarrassments arising from the revolt of so many provinces may induce the Porte to yield; and if the Greeks hold out some time longer, which is like. Wise probable, the Turkish Government may, Perhaps, be disposed to accept the mediation of the Christian Powers, ,both to settle , its differences with Russia, and for the final restoration of trap. quillity in the revolted provinces. After the De. duration respecting the insurrection of the Greeks issued by the powers last year, it could not ap. Pear advisable to admit the Greek Deputies at Verona, and they were refused passports from Ancona : a similar refusal was given to the re. ("nest of Prince Cantacuzeno, who was at Dresden, and applied to the Russian Emperor for permis sion to go to Verona. On the 4th of December, when the discussion of the affairs of Turkey had b een long terminated, and Lord St rang f or d h ad alread y set out for Venice, an extraordinary Courier from Baron Sturmer at Vienna brought the change in the Government at Constan tinople. It was . to be feared that in such a state of thing s the Turkish Government might not be sufficiently stable for negociations to be carried 01) with it in a suitable manner. The Legitimacy r){ . the Turkish Emperor and his Government had not for a moment been called in question at the Congress, but assumed as the basis of the farther n egociations with the Porte. But if a party had violently seized on the reins of Government, and :h e Sultan was become merely his tool,. the Go ternment of the Turks appeared in a different light. :) rinceMetternich had a long conference with Count N ;esselrode on these dispatches; but as the Duke )f Wellington and Viscount Montmorency had tlr eady left V erona , t h ere remained only the Rus !"n) Austrian, and Prussian Ministers. After liere e conferences the Russian and Austrian Offices actively engaged, and expresses were dis .arched on the sth, in the evening, to St. Peters. !tturgh and Paris. It was reported that the e events might change the conduct of the owers towards the Porte, since, under ex. sting circumstances,. an active interference in internal affairs of Turkey might be justi ''l) without too nearly affecting the p r i nc i p l e ~ r the legitimacy of the Turkish Emperor.- I,aremburglt Correspondent Jan. 11.) , rRONTIERS OFT URKEY, DEC. 26.---otOLWIth. priding all that has been said as to the con nuation of diplomatic negociations, it is pro- Ole that events very unexpected will soon take ac e very near us.—(Augsburg Gazette.)

[FROM A ,COILESPONDENT.] STOCK Excuasat, Hall:past Twelve o'Clock.— There has been, no Express-this morning w ith the French Funds. Consols opened at 78? ; and up to this time they remain at the above Price, with a heavy market. Most all of them are sellers for time. The private accounts from Paris state, that a Privy Council was held there on Sunday evening by all the Ministers, and at the breaking up it was reported that it was very warlike. We understand that the party who received this information in the City has made considerable sales of stock. There is also another report, that the moment the French Minister leaves) Madrid, the Cortes will issue th e i r m anifesto and that their first plans of operations will be, to assertible all their regular troops into oneistain army, and to march directly into France, displaying the tri-coloured flag, and proclaiming young NAPOLEON EfliperOr of France, leaving,to the Militia and the Guerillas the defence of the interior : the Sckith of France being at this moment in great fermentation; and eager for a re volution, it is not doubted but that 'the Spaniards will be joined by the whole or the Southern De partments. FOREIGN MARKETS. —At the earlier part of the morning some business was doing in Spanish Bonds, but soon after the Market became flat : Spanish opened at 474, 48, 471 ; Columbian 58-1, 59i. The Reply of the Spanish Government to the propositions, of France, and to the Notes of Austria, Russia, and Prussia, and the importafl proceedings in the Cortes, which :arose out of these diplomatic transactions, will be read with the deepest interest, and,received throughout Eng land with the most lively satisfaction. What ever may he our differences of opinion as to the precise form which has been communicated_ by the Spanish Constitution to its Government, it is impossible but that the people of England, like the Spaniards themselves, must sacrifice every minor or secondary consideration before the con viction that the cause of Spain is identified with that of rational liberty and of national indepen s, deuce th roug h out the world, and • that it is their duty, as well as their interest, to unite in rejecting with one voice the right of dicta tion assumed by the arbitrary governments of the Continent,—in stigmatising the jesuitical, insidi ous, and we will ever say unmanly, artifice with which those Powers have sought to aggravate the horrors of civil war in the Peninsula,—and in assuring the British Government that they will cheerfully, submit to every privation which may be necessary for enabling it to afford protection to Spain and Portugal front the danger with which they are now menaced.

ST OC Kit 0 L St, DEC. 31.—Since the return of the Crown- Prince, we have a constant succession of entertainments. The ball given by the King, the day before yesterday, was one or the most brilliant ever seen. Her Royal Highness the Princess Albertine, is hindered by severe indisposition, from taking part in all these festivities. On the 'proposal •of the Genital Board of Customs for a change in the law against smuggling, the Govbrnment has Immediately desired the opinion of the Board of Trade. It must not excite surprise that the customs have lost 40,000 rix dollars banco by the seizures that have been made in one year, for as the rewards to the informers are paid to them ac. cording to the estimated value of . the goods condemned, but the law forbidding the consumption of these goods in the king dom, they are sent to Copenhagen or elsewhere, where, being sold by public auction, they do not fetch the amount of reward paid to the informer. The merchants of times, Lulea, and Pitea have petitioned for the abolition of the export duty on tar, on which the Go vernment has desired the opinion of the Boards of Trade and Customs. The chief Organ of Party has adopted the art oratternpting to whisper away the reputation of those against who m i t can make no direct charge, and therefore leaves it to undisceming and credulous malignity to assign any at random. The Paper alluded to, in reference to some de parted Statesman, says, this day " we are given to understand that a discovery of embezzlement has been made by Ministers, to an extent that renders it altogether impossible for them to jkeep the matter secret, and that a communication an the sub ect is in contemplation." Now we put - it to the plain sense of mankind whether, understanding so Much, it would not say more if it had it in it* power. But what shows that the Paper in question is conscious that it is deal ing in surmise, if not wholly in fiction, it adds, " We h a v e :gated enough to enable an. authoritative contradic tion to be given, if it can be given." the cloven.foot of malevolent absurdity be more evident, fan if a "public cow snankation" of the fact is likely to be given, how is it possible to expect a contradiction from the same quarter? The same paper, which yesterday stated that '" Ministerial char had been determined on ," says this day, " other changes, we kunc, are in contemplation; and particulars on this subject have been communicated to us." It is surely somewhat .strange that the intentions of Government should be known in such a quarter, and if the fact be so, it is evident that Ministers are hawed by Traitors, who profit by their confidence, and yet betray their secrets. At all events, therefore, it becomes them to be wary, and not to " bewray their own nests," according to the adage. _ 7 -- That the British Cabinet is making ever effort t o p revent hostilities, cannot be doubted ; ' but it may b e i nferred, from the active demon strations at Plymouth, that it is deemed prudent to make those preparations which, in the event of negociation failing to preserve peace in Rurope, may enabl e t hi s country to act with promptitude and energy :--- trwritAcT OF A LETTER PROM PLYMOUTH.) 'Under the impression that a day may produce such impor. tent changes in the political world as to require, at /east steps of precaution and measures of close observation, the Lords of the Admiralty have at this moment all the guardships and Some others alongside .our dock walls, preparatory to their bein g 1 taken into dock, for the purpose of having their particular cots. dition reported as to the sea -worthiness of each shi p .

Fortunately, however, the framers of the Notes have overshot 'their mark, and' by distinctly avowing that they dersire not a mere :modification of the Spanish Constitution, but t the restoration of the King to .the exercise of absolute power, have produced that unexampled and imposing spectacle of unanimity in the Cortes, the spirit of which will doubtless be communicated to the great majority of the nation. On the assembling of ou'r own Parliament, we have no fear but that the i spirit- and determination of England will be manifested in a way equally intelligible, though perhaps less striking and direct. The Re ply of Spain to the Note of the French Minister is every thing that could have been desired,—tem perate, though dignified and firm ; and, though it in some measure recriminates Upon France, every appearance of insult has been so care fully avoided, 'that it may even be consi dered, under all the circumstances, as con ciliatory. The - Answer to the Notes of the other Powers, on the contrary, is_cliaracterized by a tone 'of defiance, which we fear will induce them to try • every- nieans of urging France to. hostilities. Much must depend upon the firm ness of the. French Ministers, and upon the temper of the Chamber of Deputies. We trust that France will see, both in her Cabinet and in her .Legislature, the dangers to which the invasion of Spain will expose herself, and that she will best consult both her real interests and her true dignity by abstaining from an act o aggression which may rekindle the flames ‘var throughout all Europe. ~ 14 15 pr.

TALLY-HO COTTAGE. - The little village of Wem, in Shropshire; for the last four months has been made very gay by the residence :of Mr. BETTY (once the celebrated Young llosiius), at Tally-ho Cottage. Ile is designated us Corinthian Tom, in the circle in which he moves, from the variety of characters he assurnes.—' ' and the talents he displays in all of them. 'ln this respect he has not the trick of the Stage, nor the aid of scenic embellish ments to deceive his admirers ; neither is his company confined to the Peer or the peasant. This Corinthian has lots of Jerry. Hawthorns in his train, and in the sports of the fields, Tom has not been beaten by any of his neighbours. Tally-ho Cottage is the centre of attraction for miles round Wem, not only from the taste displayed in its erection, but from the fund of amuse. meta which Its i n t er i or di s p lays . Masquerades, illuminated gardens, and petits souperi„ have again and again been given to his delighted visitors. In one of the maSpera4s, its ,4 gay owner" p ers onified twelve different ehttiathis.- Privat plays have likewise been successfully performed under Mr. BETTY'S auspices, for the National School at lireni. His humane attention and liberality towards the poor people of Went have made him equally conspicuous. The Corinthian proves himself an expert fiddler with the ribbon*, and almost daily mounts the box of the stage, and tools it in and out of the above village in first-rate style. Tally-IM Cottage, is a coin- Otte little sporting-box ; and to supply the deficiencies of nature, art has been consulted to improve the effect, by giving employment to numbers of poor persons in the neighbourhood. , • Dainty-LANE Turvrar..---The Tragedy of Brutus, one of the productiOns, of dramatic patchwork, contrived fOr the purpose of employ. ing the extraordinary popularliN of Mr. K EEN , was brought forward again last night; and to him, of course, the hero of the piece was assign. ed. As the part was intended to be fitted exactly to his peculiar powers, he.supported it with his usual success, and was very well received. This actor excels in giving a pointed effect to. pas sages which those actors who take a cotnprehen. sive view of a whole character generally pass over ; and to this practice his fame may chiefly be ascribed. Actori in getteral,bowever, may learn from his success that they must direct - their attention to whatever may enable - them to make an impression on the audience, and there. fore we find that his manner bus been adopted by actresses as well as actors, who are at present on the London Stage, and seldom without effect. Mr. COOPER, an actor of the kgitimitre if politics have not attached some degree of ridi cule to thoterrn, appeared to advantage, in the part 'of Titus, and Mrs W. WEST was very in teresting in that of Tarquinia.—The house was tolerably well attended, considerit2 the severity of the weather. Yesterday afternoon,, about four -o'clock, the Duke of YORK arrived in town from his visit to the Earl of BRIDGEWATER, at Hemel Hempstead, Herts, which was two days sooner than hits Royal Highness wus expected to return.

ALARMING' ACCIDENT AT THE SEAT OF LORD VISCOUNT GIIANVILLE.--At Wherstead. Lodge, in Suffolk, list week, the Noble Lord had a large party of friends to enjoy the sports of the field. On Thursday last they were out scouring a wood. The morning was hazy, and the nuke of WEL LINGTON was so intent on his game, that he lost sight of the party, and in firing his double. barrelled gun, his Grace unfortunately lodged a part of the contents in the face of his Noble Host ; • seven swatt.shot entered the cheeks, and one the nose. Ilk Grace, hearing au exelaination of "I am shot," threw down his piece and hurried to the spot, where he found his friend leaning against a tree, the face streaming with blood. One of the party galloped off to Ipswich for medical aid, whilst the others carried the ivounded Nobleman to the lodge. A surgeon, in less than •an hour, attended, extracted the shot, and pro. flounced the Noble patient to be not in any danger. We are happy to add that his Lordship is now perfectly recovered, and returned to town. PErkamkt.n.—This town, which, if it has not been going to decay, has experienced no improvement for soma time past, is now, we are happy to say, once mere rearing its head, by the removing of nuisance!, the repairing of houses, and the building of new ones ; yid it is confidently anticipated that when the bridge anti causeway between flaunt and Ilayling Island are finished. Peterafield will once snore become a tiou.. rishing town. It was formerly a very considerable minutiae. turing place for woollen cloths, at which upwards of one thou. sand persons were employed.
