An unauthor ized violation of the Territory of France by a Spanish Officer, could only have afforded a ground to the French Government for demanding the punishment of the offending Officer. If that demand were followed by the punishment of the delinquent, there the affair would terminate. If, on the contrary, the Spanish Government refused to punish the party who had committed an act of hostile aggression against France, the viola tion would in fact be a commencement of war, not by France against Spain, but by Spain against France ! From the remarks of the offi cial paper of the Spanish Government on the Notes of France, Austria, Russia, and Prussia, our Readers will see that in Madrid these diplo matic annunciations are not considered as indi cative of war. rarNot FUNII3.-J AN. 11.

The enquiries at the Palace have been very numerous to-day, to all of which, morning and evening, the answer has been—" His MAJESTY is better ;" (From the American Papers.) SP INISIt CLAtsts.---The Board of Commis. sioners under the 11 th article of the Florida , teaty, after a most laborious Session, having completed the examination of all the cases in which the claimants were prepared for a bearing, - • adjourned on the 22d instant, to meet again on the 18th of February next. Of the claims set down for examination, they have decided upon 192; of whioh 11 3 have been allow e d as valid, and 79 have been rejected for want of suffi cient evidence to establish their validity. In this number of claims, are embraced the losses 'upon 136 vessels ; in 79 of which the proofs have been considered as satisfactory, and in b 7 as insufficient. A catalogue of the vessels, in both classes, is subjoined for the information of those con cerned. Since the June session of the Board, no memorial of a claim has been permitted to be filed, unless accompanied by an affidavit of the party, alleging some satisfactory reason for the delay or neglect to present it under the repeated orders of the Board in this respect. The whole • number of memorials now in file is 1662 ; of ' which, 1176 have been received, as showing cases within the terms of the treaty. Of this number, however, many are mere supplements, intended either to correct some informality in the original memorial, or to add some fact regarded as im portant to the history of ,the Case.—(National lytelligencer.) In the brig Elizabeth Ann, arrived in Tramp. ton Roads, on Friday night, came passenger Don MAxisto DE FARAD°, formerly Spanish Intend ant of the province of Sonoro, in Mexico. lie left the capital of that country, upon its falling into the hands of Iturbide, and is 'now on his way to Europe to join his family. By the Breton, arrived at Nantes, letters were yesterday received from Bahia, dated the 22(1 of October. Up to that period the contest between the Brazilians and the Portuguese had produced no result, though a constant firing, attended with much injury to the town, had been kept up on both sides. The great object of the former is to dispossess MADEIRA of the fort previous to the arrival of the expedition from Lisbon, which was expected in the beginning of November. Several Portuguese families have left the place, and ar tived at Nantes as passengers in the Breton. The English had embarked their most valuable property on board the Greok frigate. The Duke of YonK left town on Sunday, oh a visit to the Earl of Bill DU WATER ' at Hemel Hemp stead, Hertfordshir e . Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when the Right lion. Lord A XIIERST was introduced, and took the usual oaths, on being appointed Governor-General of -.Bengal. His Lordship afterwards dined with the Directors at the City of London Tavern, at which were present his Majesty's Ministers, the• Lord Chief Justice, the Vice-Chancellor, the Right Hon. C/lARL ES GRANT, and many other distinguished characters. On Tuesday Mr. LATCHFORD, the King's Mes senger, arrived in town with dispatches from Mr. HILL, at Turin. Mr. DRAFFEN, the King's Messenger, arrived in town a few days since from Verona, being the last Messenger from that mission. The Reverend REGINALD HEBER has been mentioned as the Successor to the See of Cal cutta. It is said that it was offered to him by Mr. WYNNE some weeks since. Should - Mr. liEnEa decline it, it is expected that the Rev. J. LYALL, one of the Chaplains of the Bishop of LospoN, will be appointed to it. This Gentle man, from his learning, acquirements, and inte grity of character, is admirably qualified for the Important trust, and, we believe, will prove him self to be a fit successor to the late excellent and venerable Bishop. TILE I'IIEATRE. CovENTXAnnEY.—To the honour of the new Management of this Theatre, the historical drama of King Henry the Eighth was brought forward last night, upon a scale of magnificence suitable to its intrinsic merits; and the characters were apportioned with correspondent judgment. On this occasion an Actress, new at least to ,the London Stage, appeared in the 'part of Queen Catherine. Arduous as the task was to fol low Mrs. SI °DONS, who, we may ven ture to say, as completely embodied that part as any had ever been supported by theatrical abilities, the new Actress, by wisely keeping in view the outline of her great predecessor, acquitted herself not only to the satisfaction of the audience, but excited their warm applause during the whole of her performance. Her name, we understand, is OGILVIE, but we know not whether she is spinster, wife, or widow. Her person nearly approaches to the heroic form : her face is handsome and expreisive ; her deportment is easy and unaffected, if not graceful. She was evidently much terrified at first, and probably the timidity arising from the awful c h arac t er o f a - London tribu nal, lurked through the whole of her efforts. But she displayed considerable powers, and obviously understood the full nature and bearings of the part. The audience gave a very strong testimony of their applause when she finally retired. The character of Queen Catherine, according to report, was first recommended to Mrs. SinnoNs by Dr. JOUNSON, who in our opinion gave an importance to it which its inherent qualities do not claim. = There are few occasions for energy - , and the rest of the part is marked by meekness and religious resignation. It is surprizing, however, that the acute mind and moral rectitude of the learned Critic did not notice one gross inconsistency in the character which much impairs its purity. When after she had been " unqueened," a messenger enters and addresses her in the words— `• An't like your Grace," she styles him:" a saucy fellow," and adds" this fellow ne'er let me see again," thereby demon strating that, with all her declarations of pious submission, she had not subdued her worldly pride. What renders the matter still worse is that she bad just before been visited in her sleep by a celestial vision which should have raised her above all thoughts of worldly vanity. This is no fault of the author, who, with his usual depth , of penetration, reduced the character to the standard of human nature, and intended to spew, according to another Poet, well acquainted with mankind, that " Ewry woman would be Queen for life." The wonderful Poet, therefore, is not only to be excused, but to be admired for his profound pene tration into the human heart; but it is not a little surprising that the moral Critic should have over looked so glaring an error in the character. But to return to the performance. 'We conceive that Mr. MACREADY should reconsider the cha racter of Cardinal Wolsey, as in our humble opinion -he was by no means successful. We saw none of the haughty bearing of the ambitious pre late, who in Public Documents placed his own name before that of the King, but who, except in the scene with Buckingham, exhibited a low, creeping, sneaking, servility of demeanor. He had also disfigured his face in such a manner as to appear like one of the witches in Macbeth. —ln the scene after his fall, he was more suc cessful ; but as we are persuaded that he has powers to render the part with more character istic dignity and force, we trust that he will be stow on it, a more matured study. Mr. EGERTON gave an ad m ira b le portrait of King Henry, and Mr. C. KEMBLE finely supported the meek, yet manly, character of Cromwell. The Cardinal's banquet scene, and that of the christening, were highly splendid, and received much applause. We re- peat, indeed, that the whole was suitable to the inherent beauty and grandeur of the composition. Mrs. COSWAY.—This lady, whose talents are justly admired, and whose personal qualities endear her to all who have the pleasure of know ing her, previous to her departure for the conti. neat, went to view Edinburgh, and experienced the most hospitable reception from Sir WALTER SCOTT. On her return to London she soon pro. ceeded to the Seminary which she has established at Lodi. The fame of her talents procured her the most flattering notice throughout her journey, particularly at Turin, Parma, Piacenza, and indeed through the whole of her progress. It should' be mentioned also, to shew the dis tinction with which Genius is received in Italy, that Viceroys, Presidents, and Delegates, &c. waited on her to pay homage to tier talents, and that she was met on her approach to Lodi, about eight miles from the place, with a procession of coaches, to welcome her arrival. Part of this re spect, however, was intended to testify their es teem and admiration to her as the Foundress of an establishment which has imparted the light of religious and moral instruction to a considerable number of young ladies from various places, many of whom have returned to their families with solid intellectual improvements, as well as with all those accomplishments which add grace to the female character. The Earl of LIVERPOOL arrived in town yes terday from Combo 'Wood, and in the evening the Noble Earl dined with the India Directors at the London Tavern, at the dinner given - to Lord AMHEAST, previous to his departure for India.— The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER and Mr. Secretary CANNING accompanied the Premier to the dinner. VIENNA, JAN. 11.—The following intelligence has been received from Constantinople :—" The head of Hale!) Effendi was not placed, as had been reported, on the gate of the Seraglio, but was exposed in a basin of silver. This no doubt arose from some remaining respect from the Grand Seignior." A letter, dated CaraceaS, October 24 says— " The treaty between Colombia, Peru, Chili, and Buenos Ayres, will have a most important effect in Europe. Affairs in this quarter are as suming a better aspect; in a few months, with energy, the war may be terminated." FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS. Col. Lowther, M.P. from Cotiesmore, Ruthlandshire ; E. L.

MARRIAGE IN HIGII LIFE.-011 Sattirriay, the 21st of December, was married by the Rev. Dr. Trevor, in the house of the British Ambassador, at Florence, Miss Bold, of Bold Hall, Lancashire, daughter and heiress of the late Peter Patten Bold, Esq., to the Prince Saphieha. The beautiful bride was attended by her mother and sister, Lord Dundas, 31r. Dixon, of the Guards, &c: and was given away by his Excellency Lord Burgersh. The Prince de Sapieha was attenden by the Prince Potemkin, the Russian Charge d'AfFaires at Florence, the Russian Ambassador from Naples, and others, as friends and witnesses of ►his happy ceremony.

SAVIOUIL'S BIBLE AsSOCIA- T lox. —The Tenth Anniversary Meeting of this Institution was held yesterday evening in the Friends' Meeting House, Redeross-street, Southwark, for the purpose of hearing the Re. port of the last year's Proceedings, the Election of Officers, and °LI er business, when the report proved of the most grad..., fying description. It is rumoured that the daughter of PHILIP SAMUEL, Esq. and grand-daughter of the late ASHER GOLDSMITH, Esq. has been recently made a Ward of Chancery ; and that this rich little heiress is consequenly under the protection of the Lotto CUANCELLOR. ThiS is at least a novel proceeding among the JPI93, as there are not so many opportunities of effecting clandestine mar riages in that nation as amons Christians.—(New Times.) About the year 1700, lludde, an opulent bur gomaster of Middleburg, animated solely by literary curiosity, devoted himself and his fortune to its gratification. lie went to China, to instruct himself in the language, and whatever was re markable in this singular people. lie acquired the skill of a Mandarin in its difficult language ; nor did the form of his Dutch face undeceive the physiognomists of China. Ile even succeeded to the dignity of a Mandarin ; he travelled through the provinces under this character, and was re turning to Europe with a collection of observa tions, the cherished labour of 30 years, when a shipwreck overwhelmed the whole of his treasures in the ocean. It was one of the greatest losses, says Voltaire, the republic of letters ever suffered. When URRAN.GRANDIE R was led to the stake, a large fly settled on his head ; a monk, who had heard that Belzebuh signifies in Hebrew the god of flies, reported that he saw the devil come to take possession of him. A WILD Glaz has been lately found in Spain, in the Sierra de Montero, a d eso l a t e an d ru d e range Of mountains in the south. She had been seen occasionally by the goat-herds as they wan dered through the mountains. The tale at length reached Cordova, dud the authorities sent offi cers in pursuit of her. They succeeded in ap prehending her, and she is now in one of the public hospitals of that city. She is not alto gether destitute of understanding, nor ignorant of language, as she can say a few words, such as Pepu (Papa), gato (a cat), campo (the country), And some few others. When she was asked if she would like to return to the 'country, she nodded her head in the affirmative. She eats whatever is given to her, but prefers uncooked meats and vegetables. In the beginning, cooked victuals did not agree with her, and made her sick ; she eats with an extraordinary appetite ; her cloths -appear as if they were placed on a stick ; her arms were tied because she was ever tearing her shoes, in spite of every care that was taken to prevent her. Sometimes she has thrown off all her garments, and run out quite naked into the kitchen garden.— She has been found, after an interval of two days, 'coiled up in a place full of mire ; and at another time she has been discovered in the dung hill of the stable. She is about 10 years old, of a short stature, a deep brown colour, protruding lips, and so rough, as almost in appearance to re semble a wolf. She sleeps by day as well as by night, without any regularity, and generally coiled up. Sometimes her sleep has continued for twenty-eight hours successively, either in bed or on the ground, with or without covering. She keeps her eyes mostly closed; and when she is alone she cries for three hours together, and the next th'ree hours she laughs. The Duke de Rive, the Constitutional Alcaldo of Cordova, has taken a great deal of trouble to find out the origin of this female ; but it has baffled all his inquiries, and he has given them up in despair.— It is supposed she belongs to parents not less wild than herself, who are still undiscovered in the mountains. POETRY. TO MY CANDLE. Ah ! drooping flame, I see thee fall, And ebbing life is like to thee When death, the final king of all, Prepares us for Eternity. Bow like to thee the clinging soul Hangs round its coil : and like to thee Whirls round and round the earthly bowl, Still fearful of Eternity. See now it fitlls—it sinks—it dies Rerivid again !—how like to thee Expiring mortals fall and rise, When sinking to Eternity ! Ah ! now thou'rt gone, for ever fled, And darkness reigns,--still like to thee The silent tomb, which holds the dead Till call'd unto Eternity. But when the trump shall sound on high, Then earthly flame,—not like to thee, The soul releas'd will cleave the sky, And shine through all Eternity ! SPORTING. lIESTON HUNT COURSING MEETING.

A fox was found a fewditis since by Capt. Hedges' hounds, at Sirmourit ; he run off to the eastward, opposite Mr. Beres ford's house; he there changed his course, and went off to tha west, ran through Screnagea Castlechinchy ; from thence to Hawkmont, through Knockanemore, and tried the Ovens' earth, the hounds pressed him desperately. Finding that shut against him, lie crossed the river for Iniscarra-wood, from thence, south, through Coolroe, Greenfield, a nd Ballincollig, where the oltfearth was also shut ; he again changed his course to the westward, through Ballyburtlen, Ballyburtlen Glen, Ballinguilla, Grange-glens to Milane, and on the Ballygro. men, where the old earth was also shut against him, the hounds running rank at him ; he then ran for the Ovens.again, and through Sirmount; he then tried a new course, running direct west, through Sreelane, Clasanure, Fareen, and to Alias, where. every horse in the field at finding, was brought to a walk, some not able to move. .Thus ended a chase of full 20 miles, which left three Nimrod: to deplore the loss of three good hunters.—( Cork Southern Reporter.) FAST TROTTING. It has been stated that two rot trotters, bred in America, out of a Lancashire mare, had lately been imported into this country, and were matched for 200 sovereigns each, the one to trot 15, and the other 16 miles within an hour. They were bred by Mr. Ponsonby, in the vicinity of New York. The one did the miles on the turf in Asked Park, Bucks, last week, without distress, as already stated ; and on Tuesday the other started on the same ground, over a two-mile circle, and performed it as follows, betting being 2 to 1 on time:— min. sec. - min. sec.

Thomatch was lost by 22 seconds, owing to the horse break ing into a gallop in the first mile, which lost three quarters of a minute in turning. The horse carried eight stone, and the season was much against the performance. Further Particulars respecting the Murder of Mr. SMITH, between the Armory Mills, al Black heath, and Lewisham.—We understand that , Coleman, the blacksmith, who was committed to Maidstone Gaol with one of the relations of the deceased, sent for Mr. BICKNEL, of Greenwich, to make some confessions, which, we understand, are as follow :—He states, that it was one of the Smiths that fired, and that they were seven in number. Also, that a house had been searched, Where they found a number of picklocks and other implements in the flue of an oven ; a coat and several other articles were also found, which may lead to some further discovery. A primary school on the plan of mutual in struction, had been established at Boulogne-sur- Mer in 1819, under the auspices of the Sub-Pre fect M. llEttatAN, at present Prefect of Landes. All the Magistrates and functionaries, without exception, the servants of Government, and the mostopulent inhabitants of the town, to the number of 144, contributed by subscription to defray the expence of establishing this school, and of sup porting it. This school, which has recently re ceived an augmentation of 200 ,scholars, has just been suppressed by a decision of the University, which, however, it is hoped, will be repealed, at least, if it is not the result of 'a retrograde move ment in the method of teaching, which it is diffi cult to suppose.—(Ftench Paper.) There was discovered upon Saturday the 11th inst. in a remote glen in Pentland Hills, near Babble's How, by Melsrs. Laurie, Surveyor- General, Robert Turpie, Supervisor, and A. 11/Milian and D. Thomson, Excise *fficers, a hut containing an illegal still, about 45 gallons contents, and several large fermenting utensils, containing about 500 gallons wash, and two casks with 100 gallons low wines. The still was lodged in the Excise Office ; and all the other utensils, with the materials, were totally destroyed. As no person was found near the place, the depre dators must have carried on their diabolical work during the hours of midnight.._- Ellin. Courant, Jun.l3.) On Sunday, as a young gentleman skating on the Serpentine River was on the point of ad justing his skates, a man respectably dressed (whom he observed repeatedly) ran against him, and threw him with considerable violence. The young gentleman, knowing from the other's abi lity at skating, that it was designedly done, put his hand to his pocket to save his watch, but too late, the thief had forced it from him, but seeing his object was known, dropped it, and with swiftness endeavoured to escape. The young gentleman, though much hurt, followed hid), and being as skilful in the art o f sk a ti ng as the thief, in spite of the latter's rnanceuvres, overtook him, and by a blow brought him down. Through pain and inexperience of the gentleman, the fellow effected his escape. , i- -4.3. 1-) k ! ~ r , - •.- . .." -..0 • ) f It ` tt ' .

The Lieutenant-Generalship of the Ordnance having been vacant upwards of four months (by the decease of Lieutenant-General Sir HUME* BRAND OAKES), is now supposed will be filled up, as the Duke of WutaatiffroN has returned to his official duties as Maser-General of that Department. It is not known that any officer is yet selected for the vacancy. EDINBURGH, JAN. 13. On Saturday, Colonel Bromhead retired from the command of the 77th regiment, now in the Castle and which he had held for fourteen years. Perhaps no officer ever retired from such a situation, in which he was more regretted, and this was testified on the present occasion, by a feeling and a displ a y o f attachment, on the part of the soldiers, which we never be fore witnessed. It was a proud memorial to the gallant officer of the affection of hi s soldiers, and of the fidelity with which he had discharged his d uty to them. In the Castle the horses were taken from the Colonel's carriage, which :was deco rated with laurel, ribbons, &c. and it was drawn by the sOldiers through the principal streets, while they cheered repeatedly, which was re-echoed by t h e populace. The bugles of the re giment were in front, and played several national airs, and immediately before the carnage, a tiag was carried by, a ser jeant, bearing the following inscripti on " 77th Regiment, Colonel Bromhead, the friend of a soldier, retiring to private life, after 29 years faithful service to his King and country." Another flag was carried by a serjeant in rear of the biigles. The carriage was drawn two miles out of the city, when the horses were re-placed, and the gallant Colonel made a very ap.. He and affecting speech to his b rave com p an i ons i n arms. He was deeply affected on the occasion. MERCANTILE SiIIPPING, DEAL, JAM. 15 7 —Wind N.W.—lt came on to blow hard early this morning from E. by 'S., accompanied with snow, during which the brig Manly, of Yarmouth, Clark,• from Se ville to London, laden with oranges, drove onshore, with two anchors down at the south end of Deal, oppOsite his Majesty's Dock-yard, where every assistance was rendered to secure the vessel and cargo; the storm is quite abated, and if it continues moderate, we have no doubt it will be effected ; the cargo is getting - out, which appears to have sustained little or no da mage. The outward bound brigs got away to-day and pro ceeded down Channel, the rest remain with the homeward_ bound as per last, apparently all well. Several of the vessels drove during the gale. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 15..—Wind N.W.—Sailed the whole of the homeward-bound. PLY MOUT Ti.

The Providence, Dobson, from Loudon to Scarborough, put into Sheerne ss y ester d ay with 7 feet water in her hold, and touch damaged, having been on shore on the Sore Sand. (From the Abe r d een Ch ron i c l e.) On Sunday last a bottle was picked up by a fisher lad of Footdee, upon the beach, close to the New }IA Town, contain ing a paper, which, when the bottle was broken, the cork having been forced hard in, he found he could not read. The bottle was, as the lad expressed it, a common porter bottle, but with the smelt of wine ; and the paper bears the marks of having been long ex posed to the rays of the sun, and p art l y to mo i sture. It is, how ever, perfectly legible, and bears the marks of having been writ ten under great agitation, the word " deux" before " batteaux;" being twice repeated, and the writing of the two last lines much more indistinct than the rest. The great improbability, th at a bottle committed t o th e waves on the coast of Jamaica, oa the Ist of April, 1022, should reach the eastern coast of Scot land, early in January, 1823, does not escape us, nor the water mark of the paper, J. Dickson, Kent, 1822.' But as it is easily to be ascertained, whether such a vessel was, at fie time mentioned, taken by pirates, we give the document to the pub:, lie just as it reached us , an d as i t rema i ns in our possession,, without altering a word, but merely giving more distinctness to the breaks in the conclusion.

L. DES. AIN. L. LA P.LACE. The circumstances respecting the atteMpt to break into the house of the Reverend Mr. Beckwith, of Tilling. ham, Essex, are as hitherto published, very incorrect; we believe the following relation may be depended on :—Mr. Beckwith, who is curate of Tillinglusm, being from horrie two or "three days, leaving Mrs. Beck w i t h, h a d d es i re d the church clerk to sleep in the house, as a protection, in addition to the female servant. One morning, about three o'clock, a youth of the name of Fletcher, about 16 years of age, tapped, by assignation, as it has since transpired, at the maid-servant's window; and forgetting that the ears as well as the eyes of love are always open, he made so much noise as to convince the girl that her mistress was alarmed. To screen herself from the fact ofhaving been the principal actor in the intrigue, she ran to her mistress's bed-room, ,and basely be trayed the youth into a snare of another description, in which his life narrowly escaped being sacrificed. Mrs. Ilecksiith, with more courage than females usually possess, flew to the pistels, which were loaded, but not primed, which she however per. fected, and then went to the+window, where the unsuspecting youth was still waiting, expecting a very diff erent kind ofrecep don. Mrs. fleckwida fortunately tempered her courage with mercy, and did not fire, notwithstanding the author of the tois_ chief frequently urged her so to do! The young man, on Ob serving his situation, became so much alarmed; its to be incapable of making a retreat, but stood fixed to the spot, and without the least resistance surrendered himself.
