CITY, Twelve o'clock.--Consols opetied this morning with a brisk Market at 91;, and went - up to 4 ; but soon after the Market was damped by a respectable Broker selling to a large amount, which caused Consols to lower to 90;- 91 for the Account, and for Money 904. Up to the present hour I do not hear of a:;y Express having arrived from Paris : nor have we any repOrts in the city to depress the Funds. — Private accounts from Paris state that M. de VILLELE has come to a determination to re -duce the 5 per cent. Itentes to 4 per cent. — The Public are now anxiously looking to the period for the Budget ; and until that document appears, it is expected there will be some fluc :tuations in our Funds. FOREION MARKET.—Very little is doing in the above Market this morning.—Spanish Bonds , op e ned at 2411, at which price th remain steady.-.. Mexican Bonds opened at 54. in the House of Commons last night, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply to a question put by Sir W. INGILEY, said that it is his intention to bring, forward his inancial statement arid propositions on Monday the 23d instant. Amongst the latter will be, as was some time since stated in THE SUN, an enumera tion of the taxes, the remission of which is now contemplated by Government, and a detailed View of the operations by which it is intended to YlFect a further reduction of the annual charge occasioned by the public debt. Lord NUGENT gave notice of a motion for Thursday next, which will probably bring forth some interesting Ministerial disclosures as to the conduct pursued by the English F.lnbassy in Spain, from the commencement to the termination of the War. The motion will be for the production of Copies of the Correspondence with Sir WILLIAM AToutyr during the period which elapsed from the entry of the French troops into Spain, to the 'Surrender of Cadiz, as also copies of all commu nications from the Spanish Constitutional Go vernment to Sir WILLIAM A'COURT, and his an .swers thereto. Mr. Secretary CANNING stated, th at it was not his intention to produce the p a pers in question, but that his opposition to, or acquiescence in, the motion of the Noble Lord, would depend entirely upon the case which *the .Noble Lord might be able to make out When his motion is brought :forward. —lf the Papers should be withheld, the Right Hon. Gentleman w iii at least give a retrospective view of the course and character of our diplomacy in the Peninsula, which cannot fail to throw much Important light on the events of the six months war against the liberty and independence of the Spanish nation. THE POPE.—(ROME, J AN. Tl.)—The bulletin ?f the health of the POPE is more and more satisfactory. The Pliphatic humours hav'e resumed their proper course, as has `eri already stated.

By the Cornwall, Captain MORRISON, arrived at Liverpool from Barbadoes, intelligence of a very alarming nature has been received from Martinique, by which it appears that the mania of insurrection, so prevalent of late in the West Indies, has Spread to the French colonies. For tunately a timely discovery of the conspiracy l'as taken place, and the consequences which might have attended it, have, therefore, been prevented ; but if the accounts now received are authentic, this insurrection has been planned with a degree of sagacity, and was to have spread so exten sively, among the people of colour as well as the slave population of Martinique, that it was evi dently of a much more dangerous nature than any which have occurred in the British colonies. The plot was revealed in consequence of a dis covery made by one of the Mulattoes, that in the event of its success the property of the people of colour would not be respected, on which he gave information to the Government. The intelligence of the events at. Martinique had caused an order to be issued for placing Dominica under martial law. The Cornwall, which left Barbadoes on the 4th ult., has brought dispatches for the Eng lish Government. The following is an extract from the Barbadoes Paper -of the 31st of De cember :---- " MUDGE-TOWN', DEC. 31.—8 y the mail-boat Eleanor, Captain Moffat, which left Martinique Monday afternoon, and arrived here last night, we are informed of that island having been thrown into a serious state of alarm. Between 20 and 30 free coloured people, all wealthy and respectable, have been arrested, and sent from St. Pierre to Fort Royal on hoard one of the frigates, where they are in close confinement. Some seditious correspondence has been discovered, which had been carried on by the malcontents with Europe, the English islands, and St. Domingo. Indiscriminate massacre of the white in habitants, and setting the town of St. Pierre on fire, were the diabolical means by which they intended to overthrow the Go vernment. The vigilance of a French police, under the super intending hand of Providence, has frustrated this horrible conspiracy. A letter, it is said, was found, containing a re ply from Boyer, the Chief of St. Domingo, to an application made by one of the conspirators for the assistance of soldiers. The news of troops having arrived here from England, to keep in awe disaffected fellows, and the opportune arrival of troops 'from France at Martinique, staggered their` resolution, and ap pears to have induced them to put off' the consummation of their revolutionary scheme from the 17th of December, the day originally fixed on, until Ch r i s t mas - eve . B u t, in the mean time, the activity of the Executive, and the extreme watch fulness of the p o li ce, ma d e suc h discoveries as completely arrested their career. Several coloured men had arrived there lately from France, who had been distributing seditious pamphlets; and it is said that about 60 of the coloured had been disarmed." THE THEATRES. Dauer-Liss.—The hardy old Drama of A Nero FVa . ..y to Pay Old Debts afforded Mr. KEAN, last night, an opportunity of appearing to more advantage than he does in most of the cha racters which he performs. It agrees with the subtlety and ferocity which so peculiarly mark his acting in general, and all that he wants is a figure calculated to excite that terror which Co daring, so powerful, and so vindictive a nature seems to demand; but the force of his acting en ables him to triumph over that defect, and the sympathy of the audience accompanied .those per sons who are likely to be the victims of his unre lenting rage and furions disposition. He was throughout very impressive, and was much ap plauded. The rest of the characters, particularly that of Marall, by MUNDEN, were supported in such a mariner as to give due weight to the general effect of the Play. —lt is a curious circumstance that those public cri tics, particularly one, who were enthusiaitic in praise of Mr. KEAN'i acting, now find that he has many faults, and that at times he is languid and tiresome. The truth is that Mr. KEAN is exactly what he was, and that the alteration is merely in the opinion (we were going rashly to say judgment) of the critics. He has the same tappings of his breast, scratching of his hair, long pauses, &c. &c.; but he has also the same spirit and energy to which he owes his very extraordinary success. So that he should treat with contempt the censures of those who were formerly his idolatrous admirers. COVENT-GARDEN.--The audience had last night a full compensation for the melancholy im pression of the affecting opera of Clara, as a new farce was introduced, entitled The Poachers, which abounds with so much humorous equiroque, and amusing intrigue, that it gave full exercise to the risible faculties of the audience. The fol lowing is a brief outline of the plot : Pelf/. Souc:-out, a new married farmer, is much addicted to jealousy anti poaching. He has shot a roebuck, which brings upon him the resentment of the Count, his landlord, who orders him to leave his farm. The farmer is alarmed; but under standing that the Count is easily moved to pity by the entree ties of a pretty woman, he thinks of sending his wife Grisette to intercede for him. His jealous feelings, however, suggest objections to this course, and he is embarrassed how to act, when the sister of the Count arrives in male attire, to execute a project of her own, in pursuance of which, she undertakes to personate Grissette, and solicit for the farmer. The Count had previously wished the Baron to marry his sister, but to this the Baron was somewhat reluctant. As the humble Grisette, the Lady gains his love. He is interrupted in his courtship by the Countess, a widow, and the Count himself experiences a like mis fortune when he offers himself as her suitor. To baffle both, the Countess takes the pretended Grisette into her own chamber, to the infinite embarrassment of Sourerout, who h a s f o ll owe d his supposed wife, been detained at the Castle, and who still believes the fair impostor to be a Gentleman. Sourcrovt at length reveals the secret to the Baron, who becomes alarmed for the honour of his sister. Some pleasant confusion ensues, which of course terminates in revealing the real qualities of the parties, and all are satisfied. This piece, in addition to its intrinsic whimsi cal and diverting qualities, is so well sustained by the respective performers as to render it very effective, at►d to promise a very succeisfil career. BLANCHARD was Sourcrout, COOPER the Count, JONES the Baron, Mrs. CHATTERLEY the wi dowed Countess, and the other parts were not wanting in spirit. The piece is attributed to Mr. RICHARD PEKE, and its amusing qualities ren der it very probable, judging from his other dra matic production, that the report is well founded. Mr. LISION has obtained leave of the Drury lane Manager to perform a few evenings at Bath, where he has been very attractive, and is in high favour. He has performed Sam Swipes in the play Qf Exchange no Robbery, Billy Lackaday in: Sweethearts and Wives, and Sam Savory, in tote diverting Farce of Fish out of Water, as well as in Family Jars, by the author of the latter Farce.

DEATH OF SIR FREDERICK FLOOD, CART.— We lament to state that this distinguished cha racter is no more. At six o'clock on Sunday evening, the Ist. instant, terminated the long and useful life of this worthy Baronet, not more known than lamented. Sir FREDERICK FLOOD was Custos Rotularum of the county of Wexford, which county he represented in the Imperial Par liament, as long as be found it convenient, at his advanced period of life, to engage in the arduous duties of a Statesman. He also sat in the Irish House of Commons during three successive Par liaments. In each he maintained that dignity and independence of character which he was so remarkable for in every station of life. Sir FRE DERICK has left one daughter (FRANCES, wife of JOHN HARWARH JES3OP, Esq. of Doory Hall, county of Longford ; and York-place, Portman si'uare, London), to whom he has bequeathed the whole of his real and personal property. FRANKFORT, JAN. 29.—M. F. Murhard, who was arrested at Hanau, as we have already mentioned, by order of the Hessian Government, was then removed with a strong escort of Hessian Gendarmes to Cassel, where he is confined in the citadel. It is affirmed, that 'rigorous measures have been adopted towards him, and that he is not only prohibited from writing and receiving letters, but that even the use of books is denied him. Letters from Oporto of the 20th of January mention a very unjust proceeding by the Camara of that place towards the merchants.' By the existing laws respecting the importation of corn, foreign wheat was admitted, if the price of the Alquive was 1,000 reas ; and the averages are taken weekly. The return of the 10th of Jan. was below, hut that of the 17th above, the pre scribed price; the Camara, however, of their own authority, annulled the latter average, and the merchants, consequently, who had large car goes waiting at Vigo, could not bring them to Oporto. POETELY. THE LATE MRS. HARTLEY. [The following Character of this departed Lady is extracted from a Poem entitled "THE STAGE," written by JOIIN TAYLOR, Esq.] The Muse who knows that HARTLEY could controul And sooth to sympathy the sternest soul, Can ne'er forgetful of her worth remain, But seeks her name to decorate the strain. In Rowe's fine portrait of submissive woe, That contrite yields to fate's relentless blow, The wretched victim of a lawless flame, By Pow'r's harsh mandate doom'd to public shame, What eye to HARTLEY could a tear deny I What breast so hard that could refuse a sigh ! Urg'd by the noblest glow of filial fire, When poor Cordelia seeks her injur'd Sire__ Or warm with conscious honour's purest aim, When Desdentona vindicates her fame, Such magic graces o'er the bosom steal, Her plaintive strains would make a Stoic feel. Again, sweet Exile, grace a drooping Stage, Again with nature's loveliest charms engage. Lo! CRAWFORD wanders to another clime, And YATES too soon must feel the stealth of Time ; Then shall we own the triumph only thine, Where dignity and tenderness combine, In ev'ry gentle and impressive part, - With pow'r resistless to subdue the heart. To thee, when YATES shall seek the private shade, The mournful Muse must fondly seek for aid : By thee alone, dear wand'rer, then display The melting force of her pathetic lay. •, R * Mrs. HArtmEr was one of the most beautiful women Of her time, as well as one of the most strikkig ornaments of the Stage.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT., --About five o' :lock this morning, three thieves broke into a house in Houndsditch, an oil shop. An alarm was given by the cry of " fire and thieves !" The servant girl, who slept in the third story, heard the cry o f " fire :" she instantly jumped out of the win. dow., and, on assistance coming to her, she was found dead, and carried to the workhouse. A young man in the house fired at. one of the thieves, who unfortunately escaped, after having his , hat, whi c h h e left b e hind him, shot th roug h . Since Mr. SIVEWIUGUT contracted for this Lot tery, the demand for Whole Tickets and the higher description of Shares has exceeded all former precedent, and it is' observed, many ap plications are made for Four similar Shares of different Numbers : this arises from there being more than 3 out of 4 all now sold en titled to re ceive back more than half the Money, after hav ing had the Chance of not only Seven Prizes of 120,000, but of the 2 Sterling Capitals attached to the first-drawn Prizes; making an average value of nearly `' 6 per Ticket more, independent of the. floating Capitals, on the first day. These advan tages prove the very cheap rate at which a per son muy adventure, whilst, should he be uestfc cessful, he Will have the chance of Five 20,000/. , Prizes afterwards, which is nearly twice as iflciny as the whole number in the preceding LotterY, DESTRUGTIYE Fl RZ. •—• Yesterday morning, about five o'clock, an alarming fire broke out in the manufactory of Mr. Bridgman, wholesale tallow-chandler and melter, at the back of his premises, Spicer-street, Spitalfields. Notwith standing the united efforts of several engines, the whole of the back premises, including property to the amount of 10,0001., were, in a short time, en tirely consumed. About 90 casks of tallow, of eight cwt. each; 72 boxes filled with candles; about 2,000 dozen pounds of dipt candles ; five chaldronsof coals, with utensils, and instruments, and warehouses, fell a sacrifice to the devour ing element. it appears that the fire first ap peared in the cotton loft, which the workmen had left at an early hour in the morning. No lives were lost; but Mr. Bridgman had a narrow escape, as he ran into his counting-house to se cure his books and papers, and out of which he had scarcely escaped, when the whole building fell in with a dreadful crash. Three houses in George's-street were completely gutted ; and the situation of the weavers and ether occupants or John-court, and the adjoining neighbourhood, who were cutting their webs out of their looms, and endeavouring, as far as possible, to sa ve th e i r property, was, for some time, both pitiable and alarming. Fortunately the fire, was got under before it reached them, and no further damage was occasioned. COURT OF CHANCERY.—(TiIIs D.ty.) COVENT GARDEN TWEATRE. CONST V. MARRIS.-..--(JUDGMENT.) His LORDSHIP, on coming into Court this morn ing, proceeded with •giving judgment in this ease l , which it will be re - collected comes before the Court in the form of a petition, alleging a violas tion of the Deed of 1812 on the part of the de fendant, and praying thereon the appointment of a receiver of the monies arising from the Theatre, and an order for restitution of the full amount appropriated contrary to the be fore cited deed. His Lordship, in taking up the subject where he left it yesterday, said he could not but repeat that he so im - e mutably fixed the regulation of any concern as that of 1812. The first question would be, was that deed still in force ? Here his Lordship proceeded to point out and consider the various ways in which the deed, or auy part thereof, might have been set aside, either by another deed, or by tacit acquiescence, and finally came to a conclusion that the deed still remained in force. The appointment of Mr. Robinson, Trea surer, by 7-Bths of the shareholders, without any consultation of the holder of the remaining eighth, his Lordship'next considered and declared. to be an unjustifiable appointment. He left it to Mr. Robinson to consider how far, after reflect ing on the nature of his Commission, he could. feel justified in applying the funds at the discre tion of the party anointing him, and in violation of the trusts of the deed of 1812. In the ap pointment every shareholder Ought to have been consulted, and Mr. Coast, as the holder of one eighth, ought certainly to have' been advised. with. and informed of the projected change. His Lordship said, he could not conceive that Mr. Itobiw:on would be safe in paying.any monies to Mr. Harris whilst holding his appointment in. the manner he now did. It became necessary that a treasurer should be appointed to execute the trusts of the deed of 1812, and unless the proprietors could agree in appointing one, this Court must, and considering the ruinous conse quences of it Chancery management, and copsi derib.-; the injury which would arise to the pre orietors if Covent Garden Theatre were brought into Lincoln's Inn MAI, he would say, let the proprietors call a meeting between now and this day se'imight, and consider of the ap pointment of a treasurer, to perform the trusts of the deed of 1812, and let this Court be made acquainted with its proceednigs, and, in the mean time, let no appropriation of the Funds take place contrary to the deed of 1812.

THE ROYAL NAVY. PORTSMOUTH, FEB. 6.—The Medina, 20 gun sloop, Capt - P. D. 11. Hay, arrived on Tuesday from Tunis, with die.- paches from Capt.
