HAYIBURGII, NOV. 9.l.—The post from Copen hagen has this moment arrived. There have been a great number of arrests in that capital, and among others, several person,' of great conse - - qu'ence. Their object appears to have been that rot - Obtaining a - new Constitution, and a Repre sentative Government. Some lives have been lost when the instigators were arrested by the_Po lice ; but as the feeling in general, throughout Copenhagen and the whole of Denmark, is in favour of a new Constitution, no doubt is enter tained but that it will ultimately be granted to the people. in Russia, also, it would seem that the people are by no means satisfied with the existing state of things. The letters from Petersburgh, most probably from motives of prudence, are written in a guarded manner, and say but little as to the real state of things. The latest advices are re ceived by a vessel arrived at Yarmouth, from PetArsburgli; after a passage of only 15 days. The following is an Extract from one of them : PETKIIMBURGH, Nisv.' 10 —You will henr by the time this reaches you of a great ec. nt which has happened in Itils -1 sia. - which I have tia doubt will he much exaggerated oil your side of the water; but 'we entertain no fears as to the result here. We are now• inclined to think that the account received limn the Sound, of .a portion of the H sts,iati Army having l: id down their at ms in consequence of the severity of the dis cipline imposed, may h•,ve some foundation in truth, as it is trot unlikely that the great event 'Abided to in the above ex tract triers to the mutinous spirit of the military." • LISBON PAPERS We yesterday received Lisbon Papers to the 20th inst. Their contents are of great import- once, as explaininc , the fresh movements in that carital, which led to the adoption of the Spa nih Constitution, as the basis for convening the Portuguese Cortes. _ Lisbon, Nor. 11. Must Illustrious and Most Excellent Segnior Gaspar Texcira dr hlagalliacs c Lacruda, The people of this capital, seeing that the pre paratory Junta of the Cortes does not meet iii its whole extent the just Requisition which the Judge of . the people of Lisbon, in the name of this same people, conjointly with the army, de clared to be the will of the people, and abso lutely necessary for the good of the nation, that the Deputies to the Cortes should be elected in the method and with the same regulations as are prescribed in the Spanish Constitution, began 10 despair, and judged its rights offended; and the people and the army desiring to prevent that act of the plurality of the preparatory Junta from proceeding farther to the detriment of the na tion, have recommended to your Excellency, as General Commanding-in-Chief the armed forces of the North and the South, now in this city, that y ou may deign to take it into consideration. They apply to your Excellency, that the army being assembled you may cause the Spanish Con stitution to be proclaimed, which, being modified by the Corte's convoked in the Spanish manner, may be adopted and appropriated to the man ners, customs, and soil of Portugal, without al tering it in its essential parts, and in the liberal ideas which it contains. This is what we expect from the patriotism of your Excellency. (Signed) JOAO ALVES. VERISSIMO .10. 7 ,E DA VEIGA.

Signor Manoel Fernan dez Thomaz, and the other three 'members who had resigned, came - from the palace of the Mar quess di Vallada, amidst the acclamations of the people, filled with the enthusiasm at the peace and concord which this' happy resolution brings us. An equal concourse of people attended Sig nors Gaspar Texeira, Sebastian Cabreira, B. Castro e Sepulveda, and the honoured Judge and his Secretary. Extract from an Extraordinary Supplement to the Lia.bon " Liberal" V November 18 : " The Most Excellent Senor Marshal Gaspar Texeira, conspicuously displayed the firmness and reliability of character Which We have always praised, and the Illustrious Colonel S - pulveda and the valiant Senor Sebastian Drago 'Valente de Brito Cabreira, whose spirit will always be a safeguard to-our country against des potism or anarchy, displayed the same feeling. As soon as the Session ended, in consequence of the Military Deputation of the worthy Chiefs, joyful vivas sounded from the balcony of the Govern ment House; the first'being given by the Secre tary of the Government, which Live the Portuguese Army, which for tho second time has saved the country,' to which an immense multi tude of the people, bathed in joy, answered as they did to the others, .which were most frequently repeated, viz Live the inhabitants of Lisbon, who have known, in a manner never experienced before, how to unite the spirit of patriotism with order'—' Live the King'—' Live the Nation'— ' Live those who have restored to the Nation its rights.' NV hen night came on, the Patriots did not rest from seeking out the much honoured Judge of the People and his Secretary, who, when found, were conducted to the station of the Go vernment with incredible joy. The Members of the 'Supreme Government, uniformly liberal, caused lights to be placed on the edge of the balcony, to shew themselves to those well-de serving citizens. Then it was, that, among a thousand shouts of the Government and of the reople, that it was repeated on the part of the illustrious IN. embers of the Government, Live the Spanish Constitution more liberal !' to which all the immense multitude that was in the Praca do Itocio answered with unheard-of enthusiasm. At the same time several houses were illumi nated." • LAW IN-FELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY. N0v.29. OPERA 110 USE.-WATERS V. TAYLOR. Three distinct motions were made in this cause this day ; the first by Mr. Heald was respect ing an organ, placed in the Concert-room of the Opera House, eight Q4-light brilliant cut lustres, with rods, chains, &c. seven platforms and seats, the canopy and sides to the King's entrance, the satin furniture, &c. belonging to the two state boxes, and the mirrors, &c. which had been taken in execution by the Sheriff of Middlesex, at the suit of Messrs. Chambers and Co. of Bond-street, due to them from Mr. Waters. After hearing Mr. ROLTPELL in support of the motion, and Mr. RosE (on behalf of Messrs. Chambers), who contended that, Mr. Taylor could not, by possibility, have any claim here, as his proper course would have been to have brought an ac tion of,trover against the parties, and, Mr. HART, who contended that the property in question was not confined to the Concert Room, but was distributed about the Theatres, The. LORD CHANCELLOR referred the case to the Master, but left the point as to costs un settled, until the Master makes his report, with liberty to either party to make any application. The second motion was, that Sir John Sitneon should •be directed to proceed Die in them, in taking the 'accounts relative to the management from 1805 to 1813, during which peri o d M'r.Tay lor had the possession and command of the pro perty. The motion was made on the alleged re luctance of Mr. Taylor to go on with the accounts before the Master, for more than one hour per day (the usual practice before the Master), al. though he, the Master, had offered to devoto !title hours per day to the investigation of the accounts. The Loan CHANCELLOR, in consequence of the proposition, that the Master should proceed Die in diem, not being objected to, said he should not make any further order till he had seen the Master. The third motion was, that the Accountant- General might be allowed to pay out of the Funds in Court to Mr. Taylor the sum of 50001. as Mr. Waters had been allowed to retain a like sum out of the amount of his purchase money. It was intimated, that, if this was not complied with, a motion would be made that Mr. Waters ~ hould be ordered to pay into Court a sum to the amount above named. After hearing Mr. HART and Mr. Roui.ir. in favour of their. respective .clients, ordered' the case standrover Until nekt Term. -... . ib, . • . SERGE V.

Mr. GURNEY moved for the judgment of the Court on the defendant, who was tried at the last Sittings after Term before Mr. Justice Best, at Guildhall, London, and found Guilty of publish ing two libels ; one on the Christian Religion, in Tice Deist's Magazine, and a seditious libel. pub lished in The Republican. The affidavits were put in andtread on the part of the defendant. Mr. COOPER addressed the Court in a brief but eloquent speech in mitigation of punishment. Mr. GURNEY and Mr.MARRICATT spoke in ag gravation, and dwelt particularly on the cir cumstance, that since the defendant's conviction the publication of The Deist's illagazine still went on. Mr. Justice BAYLEY delivered the judgment of the Court, and after a suitable address, pass ed the following sentence :—" That the de fendant be imprisoned in his Majesty's gaol at Okeham, in the county of Rutland, for two years, and at the end of that time to find security for live years, himself in 2001. and two securities in 201. each." FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. HAMBURGH MAIL. THE KING V. HUMPIIII.T. The defendant, an Officer in the Monmouth Militia, appeared on the motion of Mr. CAMP BELL, to receive judgment for an assault on a Gentleman, named Phi!pots, also an Officer and a Magistrate. The assault and abuse occurred in the town of Monmouth. The Court after hearing the affidavits, sentenced the defendant to two months imprisonment. LEWIS V. CLEMENT. A rule was obtained to shew cause why there should nothe a new writ of inquiry executed in this case before the Sheriff. It was an action for defamation of character, in a report of proceed ings in the Insolvent Debtors' Court, published by the defendant, who suffered judgment to go by default, and the Jury assessed 5001. damages. Mr. A DoLputis, when he obtained the condi tional rule, stated several objections to the pro ceedings before the Learned Serjeant who pre sided at the inquiry. Mr. KtuttyATT opposed the rule on this oc casion, but the Court, under all the circum stances, directed a new inquiry, on condition that the amount of damages be paid into Court, to await the decision of the cause. The ques tion of costs was reserved. THE ICING V. HENRY HUNT. Mr. SCAItfXTT shewed cause against a rule ob tained by Mr. Chitty, for a writ of Habeas Cor pus, calling on the gaoler of Ilchester gaol, or the SheritFof Somerset, to shew cause why the defendant should not have full liberty in that prison, without being shut up in a cell ; why he should not be allowed to see his friends, and those friends have access to him at reasonable hours. This application was made on the affi da‘it of the defendant, and Mr. Scarlett said he had several long affidavits made by the Magis trates and others, which fully answered all that Mr. Hunt alleged. Mr. CIIITTY said, the affidavits were long, and he was desirous of saving the Court the trouble of reading them at that late hour (it being six o'clock). He should therefore apply to have the rule enlarged to next term. Mr. SCAILLETT said, he could have no objection to, that ; and the Court, on the express applica tion of the defendant's Counsel, enlarged the rule till next term. IRELAND-NEW LAW APPOINTMENT. In consequence of the well-earned elevation of Mr. Serjeant BURTON to the Bench, it is gene rally believed, that THOMAS Burvro V, - I.NDE. f.tun, Esq. will succeed to the vacant Serjeantship. The appointment of this Gentleman to this prefa tory step to the Judgment Seat, is a fresh example of the wisdom and discernment with which the Go vernment acts upon such important occasions. Mr. VANnELuun has been for manyyears a King's Cou nsel, and always esteemed, among the members of his profession, for sound talents, clear perceptions, and great extent. of legal erudition—qualities which have been recommended by a purity of character, and independence of conduct befitting a gentleman. On the breaking out of the late disturbances in the province of Connaught, Mr. VANDELEUR was selected by the Government to conduct the CrOwn prosecutions ; and this delicate and arduous duty he discharged so faith fully, so ably, and so effectively, as to add the esteem and gratitude of the public to the warm approbation of the Government. The judicious arrangements made by him have yet continued to work good effects, and, since the prosecutions committed to him have ceased, those counties which had been the scenes of insurrectionary outrage. have continued to rest ever since iu a state of perfect tranquillity.
