There appears to be little reason for doubting • ,that the extraordinary a n d most unworthy avowals, said to have been made by M. de VII.- 'ALE in the French Chamber of Deputies, were not exaggerated in the first Report given of them by the Journal du Commerce ; for there has as yet been no denial of them either from authority, or from any of the Royalist 'Members of the Chamber, who, if the ac gount had been false, wank' have been eager to rescue the character of tho Minister; and with his, that of their country, from • the foul stigma of having excited in Spain those very disturbances which now serve as the pretext for invasion. The Journal du Commerce, in deed, informs us, that there has been circulated in Parts " a somewhat different version of the Speech , which M. de VILLELE made, unpre. P 4re dlY, yesterd a y, i n th e S ecret Committee, 41 " Nit which we gave upon the authority of general converSation.": . guieTieu' lre'in this new version " it appears [ that his Excellency, in giving an account of the conduct which the MI-, ,nistry believed itself bound to pursue , with re spect to Spain, did indeed give it to be under stood that they' had fa rniihed pecuniary assistance 'to the bands of'the Faith; but he said, with great reason, that it had not been considered. con sistent with the dignity of the Government openly to encourage Hostilities on the, fron tiers . of a country in which we had an Am bassador ! "—The Journal du Commerce, in noticing the statement alluded to, makes no retractation of its own previous representa tions. Indeed, those representations are so far from being contradicted, that they are corrobo rated,' or rather SubstantiallY confirmed, by the - , acknowledgment that . the Army of the Faith Were supplied with money, and that hostilities were only not openly 'encouraged ! The Address of the Chamber of Deputies, in answer to the Kixo's Speech is even more,war like, and is much more servile than 'that of the Peers ! The Peers, 'as we abserVed at • the time, omitted to echo that part of the Royal Do cument which asserts that:the Spanish Nation can only hold itsrinstitutions - from The Deputies, on the other. hand; respond to the KING in these terms • ci It is to yOur Majesty, Sire, that it belongs to deliberate is for us to concur, by all our efforts, in the noble enterprise of suppressing anarchy, to recogniT.,e peaceelone, to restore,to liberty a Prince of your blood, to insure the repose of Spain, to . consolidate that of France, to deliver from the yoke of .oppression a magnanimous people who assisted ills to burst our own fetters, and who can Only receive from their ' legitimate Sovereign .Institulions con formable to their views and manners." Nothing can . equal the servility and absurdity or these sentiments, except some of the others which . are ifxkessed in the Sallie address. The .Deputies of France have themselves proclaimed that their only duty is to concur in the decisions of the King ; and that the restoration to absolute power of a Spanish Bourbon is With them a suf ficient motive for plunging Prance into war ! It is evide►►t that this is tl►e only real object of the war : for all the sounding decla mation respecting the restoration of repose to Spain, and the consolidation of that of France, is destroyed by the simple ,facts, that Spain is only in commotion in consequence of: French artifice ) and that the tranquillity of France is not dis turbed.

The Expresses' this morning from Paris have brought the French Funds two per cent, hi g her, 791. 25c., which is attributed to French speculation on account of the French Loan, which 's ill soon be contracted for. There is another rumour this morning of a great de faulter belonging to the House, who it is supposed will be declared in the course of the day: We do not hear any particular news from Paris, except the continuance of warlike preparations. A' great - deal has been doing in the House this, morning,—Cousols are this moment done at 74k, sellers, with a heavy Market. FOREIGN MARKET.--A great deal 'hag been doing this morning in the above Market, particu larly in Spanish Bands, which opene'd at S - 361 H. Jamaica Papers to the 2.(1 January arrive this morning. A Meeting of the Freeholders and other inha bitants took place at Lucea on Saturday, the ‘2lst, for the purpose of addressing his Grace the Duke of MAtiCUESTER. Ott his return to the Island ; after which an illumination was pre pared for Monday night, and unanimously agreed to. • [From Me Royal Gazette of Me 2141.] The Session of Assembly, so unprecedented in its length, terminated yesterday evening; after which his Grace was pleased to prorogue the House by the following speech :-- " Gentlemen of the Council,.. " It affords me much pleasure. to grant you a recess, after your having bestowed so long and 'patient an attention to the public business. " llr. ; 3 1 ,,, akqr, And Gentletuannf the Assembly, " I am much gratificti,to find, that not even the difficulties under which this Colony labours from the low price of its staple productions, have been able to repress that liberality for which the Assembly of Jamaica have ever been distinguished, and it affords me additional pleasure to reflect, that the judicious means you have adopted for meeting the exigencies of Govern ment, will be attended with no heavy pressure on your Con stituents. " Gentlemen of the Council, "I avail myself of this opportunity to Assure you, that I ii , ve resumed my Government with the same Anxious regard for the best interests of this Island, which has hitherto influenced my conduce; and in my endeavours to promote this great object, I rely with perfect confidence on your assistance and support : I do now, in his Majesty's name, prorogue the General Assem bly' until Tuesday; the 211th day of January next" Tara: fit 11.) —The health of our belo ve d SOVEREIGN continues to improve; so decisive and favourable has been the reports to inquiries at the Palace, for some time ast, that anxi e ty h ere has entirely given way to ge neral expressions of gladness and joy.—" MA. EsT v conihmes much better," has been the cheerful answer to all applicants for information upon that most momentous subject to us, and to the country at large, this day. Yesterday the Duke of Youx rode out in his carriage, in improved health. Yesterday the Lords of the Council assernbled at the Council Office, to proceed with the further hearing of the Appeal from the Island of Jersey, respecling the right of election to the Council and other officers. Their Lordships,ifor the pur pose of settling all differences, undertook to de tide on the right of voting, for the accommo. dation of all parties. There were present—the LORD PRESIDENT, Lords BERESFORD,COLCHES nit, and STowEet.; Sir J. Nicllot, and Mr. BECICLT. Yesterday the Cabinet Ministers dined with the Earl of WesTstortreallo. A very elegant carriage has been sent to Paris, for his Excellency Sir CHARLES STUART. The Prince Leopold) left town yesterday morning for Busby Park, on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE. His /Loyal Highness proceeded from thenc e to Claremont. Sir HENRY HAevotto, who recently visited Lord GRENVILLE,Ut Dropmore, reports the Noble Lord likely to recover very soon from the effects of paralysis, although the shock his Lordship ex perienced was rather a severe one.---The Duke of BUCKINGHAM paid an immediate visit of con dolence to, his Noble relative, the moment he heard that Lord GRENVILLE had been visited with a paralytic affection. The Noble Duke's attention to his venerable uncle has hitherto pre vented his arrival in town to attend hs duties in Parliament. Report has assigned the new play of Nigel to several persons, and among others to Mr. Ho nace Twiss, who positively disavows it ; to Mrs. CHARLES Kesinet also, who declines the repu tation of authorship on the peseta j occaSion. rerounCe of The ArtuneS the Nigel has been, the 'foundation of another di iina hide is now performing on the Palitthurgh Stage, under the title of George !feria, or The, Fortunea Nigel. The first play 'rounded on the same ivork of the "Great Unknown," as he is styled, appeared at the Surry Theatre, and was by no means the worst of these Dramatic derivatives. It was welt supported in the representation, chiefly. by Besmouon, Bulutows,and a daughter of Mrs. GLOVER, one of our best comic actresses.. ]tilts ;Merrone.---We are•surprized that the Tragedy written by this Lady has been withdrawn from Covent Garden *Theatre. afier it had been accepted for representation. It is said, however, that a rivalry for the chief rharacters has been the cause. 'Such competitions have long been too common among the theatrical cornmenity, and are injurious tolhe public,who are thereby deprived of 'an expected pleasure ; as, well as to authors also whose talents are prevented from receiving their due reward of profit and fame. Surely, considering the high salaries which actors and actresses now receive, far exceeding' all for mer precedents, they are very silly in hazarding their situations in London, and exposing them. selves to much inferior profits in wandering ex cursions. These repeated squabbles indicate a want of due authority in Managers, who, on .an appeal to the public, would be supported against caprice, vanity,spleen,and envy. Actors also can have their appeal in turn, if they are likely to be come victims to managerial tyranny and oppression.

BARTLEY, with science, judgment, zeal combin'd, Displays the wonders o f tie Al m igh ty Mind ; And, aided by the skill which Art supplies, Nature explores in imitative skies; • Here the vast System is sublimely shewn, :And manifests OMNIPOTENCE ALONE Not the blind work, as i mp i ous fools advance, Of jarring atoms, harmoniz'd by chance, But emanating from th' exhaustless source Of boundless goodness, wisdom, knowledge, force BARTLEY, with ins.nly firmness, temper'd fire, Which Ileav'n's stupendous fabric must inspire, Proves what he speaks, w i t h so l emn awe, he feels, Duly impresed by all That he reveals: Impresed by wonders that absorb the soul, The BEAUTY, GRANDEUR, WISDOM of the whole. ATHEIST, e'er an Atheist can be found, Yet view Creation's miracles around ; Atheist, attentive listen--doubt no more— But bendin penitence, and GOD adore ! 11 ." As Mr. BARTLEY is going to re-deliver those Discourses on A sTnoNrost . Ch. were so gratifying to the Public last year, we are desi re d to reprint the Lin es which they occasioned, as a proper tribute to that sublime Science, as well as to the merit of the Lecturer. . . SPORTING. STEEPLE CHACE. The match bet Ween Captain Powis, .Mr. Armsbury, and Mr. Doubleday, lbr twenty-live sovereigns each, took place yesterday morning, from Fron►e Hill, Surrey, to the sporting box of the former at Lower Chigwell. ' The ground is com puted at eighteen mil► over a fine open country, but with some hazardous leaps. The three sportsmen, accompanied by a numerous field, went off at score, followed by a train of horsemen. and they separated at Ridge, taking the course of their guides. Most of the horsemen were left behind, and Mr. Doubleday's mare fell at a leap. Tito other competitors met again three miles from home, and the match was won by Capt. Powis by superior speid, in one hour and thirteen minutes. 'Mr. Doubleday was the favourite at starting, and his friends attributed losing to his taking the nearest but worst ground. BOXERS. .Spring has again challenged Neale to fight him for from two tofive hundred guineas, half way between London and Bristol ; but Nixie any' he will not fight. so far from home, and 80 the tatter at present rests, The KING has been pleased to patronize some Concerts, called the British Concerts, at which English music oitly is to be performed. Great preparations are making for the departure of his Excellency Sir. ITENKY WELLESLEY and Lady, for. Vienna. A very splendid state carriage is nearly 'finished, painted the Wellesley brown, and lined with scarlet morocco ; all the orna ments are water gilt, and the arms emblazoned by rich mantles. Superb state harness, richly chaSed, is nearly finished. There is a vacancy in the representation of the County of Dorset, by the death of the late E. B. PORTMAN, ESC]. The rumour that his son was to offer himself to succeed him, we have ascer tained is without foundation. It is expected that Mr. BANKES will be returned without oppo bition. The death of Mr. BLAKE makes a vacancy in the representation of Arundel. An active canvas was soon -commenced by the partisans of the Blue interest; their candidate- is a Mr..COPLAND, in London. No opposition at present appears of the Whig interest. There are in the county of Rockingluirm, ginia, two female children of a most uncommon size. The eldest 'in March last,' was nine years 'and eight months old, anti weigbeti 26t1 mends ; the yo ungest was five years old, and weighed,l3o pounds; and we have been informed that •their increase in weight, since that time, has exceeded the increase heretofore, for the same length of time: What is still 'more remarkable, their father, M. Jacob 'Wrunkle, is not very large, and thei r mot h er i s very small; they hare had several other children not above the usual size. The eldest daughter is five teet one inch in height, and the youngest three feet 11 inches. Woodrtoqc Reread. ) • il*nrKo of the sagacity of the brute cre ation wes Strikingly exemplified in the follow ing, as communicated to us by a gentleman of this town :----A few days after the commence ment .of the present frost, a pig, which had till then been- kept a close prisoner to his sty, was let oat for the purpose of being cleaned and his bed : replenished. On-opening the sty-door,- he ' anticipated the purpose of his liberation by running to the stable, from which :he actually carried, one by one, two - sheaves of straw to his sty, holding them in his mouth hy the band. The straw being intended for ~ another purpose, he was not allowed to retain lt,aud it WS carried. back to the stable; but- Porcus, seizing another , opportunity, absolutely regained them, to the amazement of several . persons who were placed to observe the .extilVardinary instinct of this Learned Pig.---(Stockport defferti,yer.) _ SIWCKING ACCIbENT.--This morning, soon after 10 &deck, as a poor . rna , ll was in the act of repairing the roof of the Salisbury Arms Tavern, in Durham-street, Adelphi, the ladder on .Which he was, standing unfOrtunately tilted up, and suddenly precipitated him into the middle of the street, a height of about '4O feet ; in his fall he carne - in contact with the iron -rails, one of which was broke short off. On being taken Up, he was totally insensible ; the body was then put on a shutter, anti he was conveyed to the.hospital apparently dead. THE LATE IRISH TRIALS. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM DUBLIN, DATED FEU. 8. The late trial is the subject of general con versation here, and the threat of the ATTORNEY_ .. . , GENERAL of further proceedings against the tra versers is very much cond,emned. It was indeed an unfortunate departure. from the conciliatory `spirit so loudly professed by Government, for there is no chance of obtaining an unanimous Jury. You have heard, of course, that there was a subscription 'raised for the defence, amounting to five or six times more than.any expences that could be incurred. You may imagine what the feeling is here upon ,this attempt to convert a dis , turbance not very uncommon in otir Theatre into a political commotion—from the evidence of Lady ROSSNORE, who slated that she had been iu the habit of going to th► Theatre for the last forty or fifty years, and had often witnessed much greater disturbances—and that on this occasion nothing had occurred to excite any alarm in her mind, for did she observe any body that was alarmed, except the Ladies in the next box (the 'Lord bieutenant's), who appeared rather fright ened, though not more so than was natural from their connection with the Court, seeing how much his Excellency himself was affected. Every thing is altered here ; even the very Court itself seems to have undergone a change —not for the better, believe me. I hope you will see the evidence that was given on this trial. You will be amused with it I am sure, and it will give you some insight into the management and secret history 'of this por tentous affair. PLUNKETT'S Speech is very much admired, but the Speech of the Counsel for the de fence is considered as equal to the finest specimen of Bar eloquence. There were eleven to one of the Jury for acquitting Fonuts, y and seven to five for acquitting all the others. 111 A ItifY.
