so well satisfied of the solidity of the Brazilian Government as to be ready to stake their pro- Aerty in the maintenance of its independence ; 4 nd if, contrary to all reasonable calculation, the Brazils should hereafter return under the sceptre of JOHN IV., his Faithful Majesty will of course be fully justified in cancel ling the pecuniary engagements contracted by his Imperial Son. FERDINAND VII. was not so scrupulous as to express beforehand any dis satisfaction with the Loans furnished to that 'Pry Government of which he himself was the 11 (1, and the very first use which he made or the arbitrary power re-invested in his sacred Person by the Duke of ANGOULEME, was to cancel debts that had been contracted under own royal sanction, and part of which was "ell incurred for the maintenance of himself nd of his family.---The Madrid Gazette Extra ordinarg contains a note written by the Com "tnding Officer of the llerrnione French frigate, “nnouncing the conclusion of peace between Algiers and Spa'.l. EXTRESS FROM PARIS. W e have received by Express the Mode of Y(terday and the Journal des Debuts of Satur day. They contain nothing of interest. The following are extracts : LFrom the Etoile of Yesterday.] MADRID, MAncn 24.—The King has named as Intendant of Cordonne, the Count de Puerto liermeso; of Malaga, the Marquis deZambrana ; °I Navarre, Joachim Paez Merino ; and of Cata lonia, Manuel Ortez, &c. &c. VIENNA, MAncu 23.—The Emperor and Em- Press will go to Prague in the month of May. The Emperor of Russia has sent the insignia of t he Grand Order of Saint Alexander Neuski to Lieutenant-General Count Guilleminot.

Spanish, :214; bucats, 965. _ _ [From the Journal des Debate of Saturday.] They write from 13nrgos the 31st March, that Gen. Canuel had arrived there to replace General key in the command of the 21st Division. CITY, Tycolye o'Clock.—Consols opened this morning at 951 to 1;, and up to this hour they are 9514 for the Account, and for next time gokto 4. There has been a good deal doing this morning. "—Four Expresses have arrived from Paris this rooming, bringing the Rentes at 102 f. 80c. for money, and for time 10-If., which is `it the rate of 15 to 9.0 per cent. per annum, for Aloney, it being at the present moment very scarc e in the aboYe Capital. FOREIGN INIARKET.—A great deal has been doing in Spanish Bonds this morning. They fell "e per cent., but afterwards got up a little. In 4 11 ether Foreign Securities little has been doing. We have received files of New York Papers t ° the 9th March. [From the Gazette of the 6th March.] By late advices from Mexico, Don Jose Joa quiru Herreara, Secretary of 'War, has been ap- Pointed Minister to the United States, and would depart for Washington. A project of the basis (4. a Constitution for the United Provinces of Central America was presented to the National Assembly of the Republic of Guatimala on the 25 tli Oct. That Republic bids fair to be one of the most solid. We have received the following piece of infor- Mation from a quarter well acquainted with what is Passing on the Continent ; so, for this reason, 'Ye attach considerable importance to it : " It is confidently stated here (Paris) in the high Diplomatic circles, that some of the leading Continental Powers have already come to a decision on the important question of the tcognition of the Independence of Brazil, and that one of them 1 1 actually contemplating the arrangement of a Commercial Treaty with that Empire." The power more particularly alluded to in the Preceding paragraph, we make no doubt is Aus tria, as the family alliance existing between that country and the Brazilian EMPEROR has always been serviceable to the interests of the latter, al though, perhaps, considerable precaution has been used to conceal private services rendered, in °rder not to create jealousies in the other conti heittal powers. The circumstance is also inte resting to our merchants ; because, if carried into execution, it will materially affect our com mercial relations in the Brazils, as established by th e treaty of Commerce and Navigation, signed at Rio de Janeiro, on the 19th of February, 1810, which was always considered highly favourable to our merchants, as it gave t hem a preference over those of other fo reign nations, in the importation of goods, equal to nine percent. a perfect reciprocity be nir'g established between the contracting parties. It would, however, have been at any rate ex- Pedient that the attention of the public should be dr awn t o th e B raz il t ra d e a t this time, as the Treaty above alluded to cannot much longer he observed ; for it cannot be supposed that the son will. be bound by the acts of the fa titer, of whom he has now declared himself to tally independent ; moreover, his acts must here after be regulated by a Constitution, not al lowing of any acknowledgment of acts emanat ing from a Government that has ceased to exist. Our trade with the Brazils must therefore, ere long, be regulated anew, otherwise it will re main on an uncertain and precarious footing, which cannot fail to be prejudicial to those en gaged in it ; and we wonder that, upon this subject, no inquiries have hitherto been made in Parliament. The following extract of a Paris Letter also contains an important piece of mercantile infor mation, and is derived from a quarter equally respectable : " People in France are by no means satisfied with the bad reception we at present meet with in Ilayti, and it is confident ly expected that the coffee of that island, which has hitherto been admitted under French duties, will be now subjected to the payment of the same rates as if imported from a foreign co lony. It is even added that no more clearances are to be given to vessels wishing to go thither, and, in short, there is so strong a cabal raised by the old Colonists, and the campaign in Spain has elated our army and navy so much, that it would not be astonishing to see an exp e dition sent out against St. Do mingo, although l do not suppose the Duke d'ANG-ouLEAIE would command it." WILLIAM COOK, EsQ.-This Gentleman, who had long been known in former literary circles, died on Satur day, at a very advanced age, at his house in Halfmoon street, Piccadilly. He was born at Cork, which city he left in the year 171 A, and never returned to it. He came to this country with strong recommendations to the first Marquis of LANSDOWN, the Duke of RICHMOND, En mu xi) BURKE, and Dr. GOLDSMITH. He retained an inti macy with all these distinguished characters through life. Ile soon after his arrival in London entered hiMself a member of the Middle Temple, but after a Circuit or two, purchased a share in two Public Journals, and devoted himself chiefly to the Public Press. Eis first Poem was entitled The Art of Liv ing in London, which was attended with considerable success. His next work was a prose essay entitled Elements of Drama tic Criticism. He afterwards wrote The Lift of MACKLIN the actor, with a History of the Stage during the liti of that Performer. He also wrote The Life of the celebrated wit, SAMUEL FOOTE, with whom, as well as with Mack( eiN, he was on intimate terms. Both of these works abound with anecdotes, and judicious remarks on the merits of contem porary Actors and Actresses. Mr. COOKE, by desire of the Marquis of LaNsEowN, then Lord SHELBURNE, wrote a pamphlet on Parliamentary Reform, which contained true Constitutional principles, expressed in nervous language. His chief Poetical work was an excellent Didactic Poem, intitled CoNVERSATION, which passed through several editions, and is a work of • considerable merit. In the last edition of this work, the copy right of which was purchased by that liberal and enterprizing Patton of Literary talents, Mr. Co LB u uN, the author, introduced characters of all the members of Dr. JOHN SON'S Last Club, of which Mr. CooKE was nominated one of the earliest members by the recommendation of the Doctor. He has drawn the characters of all the members with accuracy and spirit, particularly those of JoIIN sow, Buns E . , Sir J o u• REYNOLDS, and, GOLDSMITH, on the last he always dwelt with true friendship. The late Mr. WYNDIIAM and DA VID GARRICK are given with truth and energy. Bos- WELL, Dr. HORSLEY, BROCKLESBY, MUIIPHY, Mr. JOHN NicuoLs also, are well delineated. This Poem is dedicated to JOHN SYMMONS, Esq. F.R.S., a Gentleman well known in literary circles. In the dedication a character is given of their mutual friend MAURICE MORGANN, Esq., the author of an admirable E ssay we have said, on the character of Fa/stuff: Mr. Co oKE, as , was much advanced in years ; and, as a proof that he came from a long-lived family, his father was actually a class-fellow with the youngest son of DRYDEN, and well re membered the funeral of that great Poet. Having by industry, and bequests of friendship, acquired considerable' property, which he prud en tl y managed, lie had retired for many years into private life, and maintained an intercourse wit h a ver y few select friends, one of whom dined with him on Tues day last, and towards the close of the interview, observed such a sudden change in his bodily strength as induced his visitor to anti c ip ate th e final event. Mr. COOKE had enjoyed such extensive connexions as gave him a deep and comprehensive knowledge of mankind, and had stored his mind with anecdotes which he related with ease, spirit and humour. To the EDITOR of the DUBLIN' MORNING POST.—" Sir, is the perusal of several of the Irish Papers, I have observed that the courteous, liberal, and hospitable welcome which I received in the 10th Hussars, has been attributed to my being' the son of a merchant. I h ave t h e hi g h est respect f or t h at honourable class of society, to which the country owes its prosperity and its wealth ; but as a simple matter of fact, I beg to state, that I am the son of a Field Officer of the army, well known to many officers of rank in the service, who still survive him, and whose warm and sincere regard for his memory is the best and most honourable tribute to his character as a soldiers and a Gentleman. " WILLIAM I3ATTIER. " Thompson's Hotel, Cavendish-square, London, March 2yi." We have much pleasure in stating that it is the intention of his Royal Ilighnesi the Duke of CLARF.NCE, the Admiral of the British fleet, to hoist his flag in one of the Royal yachts, early in the ensuing summer, for the purpose of making aquatic excursions. The amiable Duchess and her retinue will accompany his Royal Highness. We understand it is the intention of his Royal Highness to make an official visit to Plymouth, with the view of inspecting, as General and Com mander-in-Chief of the Royal Marine forces, the state of that division of the corps.—(Portsmouth Paper.) Yesterday the Princess AUGUSTA attended di vine service at the Chapel Royal, St. James's ; after service, her Royal Highness visited the Duchess of GLOUCESTER.—The Princess Au cusTA honoured the Italian Opera House with her presence on Saturday evening.—The Princess SOPHIA visited the Princess AUGUSTA yesterday. The Duchess of CUMBERLAND, according to ac counts from Berlin, has of late been severely in disposed. The Earl of LIVERPOOL was so much recovered from his indisposition on Saturday, as to be able to leave town soon after three o'clock, for his seat at Coombe Wood, near Kingston, Surrey, accom panied by the Countess. The Gazette of Saturday (it will be seen by our extracts) notifies the appointment of Baron GIFFORD to the Mastership of the Rolls. This removal of his Lordship is now said to be principally preparatory to his succeeding to the Chancellorship, in the event of Lord ELDON retiring from the fatigues of Office. The Duke of DECAZ ES has sold his Hotel in the University-street, at Paris, to the Duke of BLACAS, for 440,000 francs—about 18,000 1. sterling. bANisti CommEncE.--4,etters from Copen. hagen dated the 20th ult. state, that several considerable parcels of grain have recently been bought up—partly fur exportation to Norway, and partly on speculation. Public Securities of all descriptions have within a . little while experienced a con siderable improvement. The Shares in the East India Com pany which stood at 75 are now disposable at 85 dollars. The National Obligations, which a few weeks ago were at 80, now stand 88. And notwithstanding the value of Land does not yet seem to be on the rise, there certainly appears to be more money in the market. As a proof of it Discounts are full one per cent lower than they were last year. A late commercial letter from Rio Janeiro, received via Holland) gives a very flattering account of the great and rapid improvements in the plantations in that coun try. Superior management having been introduced there is a surprising increase in the general productiveness --so much so, that to judge from actual appearances one may, with apparent safety, assume that the exports of 1824 will be quadruple in quantity as to sugar and coffee, in comparison with the ship ments of 1820. The infant Earl TEMPLE was last week taken so alarmingly ill, that an express was sent to summon the Marquis of CuANDos to Wotton. We have heard with much pleasure that he is now so much recovered as to be no longer considered in danger. THE KING. WINDSOR, APRIL 4.—On Friday the weather being unfa vourable his Majesty did not take his usual airing.— Yesterday, at a quarter past two o'clock, his Majesty droVe to the Lodge in his pony phaeton, accompanied by the Marquis Conyngham and his usual attendants. After remaining nearly four hours at the Lodge, anti driving about the grounds, his Majesty're turned to the Palace to dine. —This morning (Sunday) his Ma jesty, with his usual attendants, heard Divine Service in the private Chapel; the Sermon was preached by the Rev. C. It.- Sumner.—Tuesday his Maj es ty w ill go t o L on don, w h ere h e willremainafe wdays_ This afternoon the bands of the Royal Horse Guards and 75th were stationed on the Terrace, and the fineness of the day attracted a large assemblage of fashion and rank.—The Judge Advocate arrived here yesterday and had an audience of the King, and laid before his Majesty the proceed ings of some Courts Martial, upon which the King gave his commands. After which the Judge Advocate returned to London. A: s ea „t...-- • . ... if 1 • '•-,0 i s ) *: l4 ~... - - c - ) - :' • ~,,, ,-... .1,-„....,, r ,v & .,_ .',_ ‘. , i ,\..

Pow-"N TRELT—Cr Id IS DA Y.)—Cutting and Stab bing.—Joseph Alsop and Mary his sister were put to the bar, charged with cutting and stabbing John White, at Hammersmith, on Saturday even ing last. The parties were at a public-house, when words arose, and White was in the act of striking Alsop, who had a knife in his hand.— A scuffle ensued, and the prisoner Joseph Alsop stabbed him several times in the arm. The sur geon having delared that White was not out of danger, the depositions of the witnesses were taken, end the prisoners remanded until Tbursda In consequence of the journeymen shipwrights of Sunderland not being generally returned to work, the Com mittee of their" Union Society," whose commitment was sus pended last week to give the journeyment an opportunity ofresu mg their employment, were again brought up before the Justics on Tuesday last, and sent off to Durham gaol for two months. It appeared that out of a number of upwards of four hundred working men, only about forty had thought proper to avail them selves of the indulgence shewn them last week by the Magis trates ; and that only one of the regular builders had got any men -to work, although there is no dispute as to wages. The trade of the port is suffering in an alarming degree. We un derstand that informations were lodged against a similar Union Society, at Blonkwearmouth ; and also against several journey men, for individual breaches of the law. The men are not, perhaps, generally aware, and when societies like these are de cfarcd of an illegal nature, all monies deposited by them in Savings Banks or otherwise, become forfeited.—(Durham Ad vertiser, April 2.)

KING'S THEATRE.- ' filp Opera on Saturday was Ricciardo e Zoraide, and Madame COI, BRAN ROSSINI took the part performed last season by CAMPORESE. liar figure is better than that of her predecessor, and her action more animat ed, yet we cannot but remember with pleaAure the gentle pathos, fine voice, pure taste, and scientific knowledge of the latter. Madame CoLBaAN made a forcible impression, and re ceived much applause. The house abounded with beauty elegance and fashion. COVENT-G Ann EN.—The new comedy cunti nues to be very attractive. In consequence of the vast quantity of smoke that issued from a fire tfewly lighted, there was considerable alarm on Saturday, particulary in the Pit, hut Mr. FARREN stated the cause, and all apprehension subsided. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. FOUR HUNDRED AND FORTY-FIVE MILES IN SEVEN DA YS. This match is the greatest of the kind ever attempted. A Pedestrian of five feet six inches, of the name of Ford, under took to perform it, and touch on eleven counties, for 209 so vereigns ; and he reached Tottenham-court-road, from whence he started, at half-past eleven o'clock on Saturday night. He performed the first 38 miles to Baldock in less than seven hours to breakfast ; dined at Alconbury (G 8 miles), and reached Stilton the first 24 hours (76 miles) to sleep. The second day he reached Newark, at the rate of four miles an hour, includ ing stoppages, and crossed from thence to Nottingham, and performed his route through Worcester to Cheltenham and Salisbury, and from thence through Reading to Oxford. He was somewhat fatigued on the fifth day, but he had gained so much upon time, that he had 59 miles only to do on the la , t day, from Bottey, Oxfordshire, and he won the extraordinary herculean match cleverley. HUNTING INTELLIGENCE.. WlNDson,X;llll . i.—fils7;ti;l singular, that the sane deer, belonging to the Berkeley Hunt, which was taken at the Infantry Barracks, Windsor, about a fortnight since, was again taken there yesterday (Saturday), after a very sharp hunt.

The great Pigeon Vat;llf;)r 1U sovereigns each between ele ven Gentlemen of Hampshire and eleven of Berks, at five birds each, was won by llants by two birds only. The former killed 46 and the latter 41, but the Berks party were unfortuate in losing their birds out of bounds, more than 21 yards from the trap, when they fell. i n A h D , I datedN tj 'rTEe.-- . _ letter received from I roo September last, gives the following horrid account of a Suttee :—" The unfortunate Ilraliminee N a the S 29th of of her own accord had ascended the funeral pile of her husband's bones cfor he had died at a distance), but find ing the torture or the fire more than she could bear, by a violent struggle she threw herself from the flames, and tottering to a short distance, fell down. Some Gentlemen who were present immediately plunged her into the river, which was close by ; and thereby saved her from being much burnt. She retained her senses completely, and complained of the bad ness of the pile, which she said consumed her so slowly that she could not bear it, but expressed her willingness to again try it if they would improve it; they would not do so, andthe poor crea ture shrunk with dread from the flames, which were now burn ing most intensely, and refused to go on. When the inhuman relations saw this they took her by the head and heels and threw her on the fire, and held her there till they were driven away by the heat ; they also took up large blocks of wood with which they . struck her, in order to deprive her of her senses, but she again made her escape, and without any help ran directly into the river, the people ()flier house followed her here, and tried to drown her by pressing her under the water, but a gentleman who was present rescued her from them, and she immediately ran into his arms, and cried to him to save her. I arrived at the ground as they were bringing her the second time from the river, and I cannot describe to you the horror I felt on seeing the mangled condition she was in—almost every inch of skin on her body had been burnt off, her legs and thighs, her arms and back were completely raw, her breasts were dreadfully torn, and the skin hanging from them in shreds, the skin and nails of her fingers had peeled wholly off, and were hanging to the back of her hands. In fact, I never saw or even read of so entire a picture of human misery as this poor woman displayed. •She seemed to dread being taken to the fire, and called out to the " Acha Sahib, (good sirs) as she feelingly . denominated them, to sage her. Her friends - seemed no longer inclined' to force her, and One of her relations, at our instigation, sat down beside her, and gave her some clothes, and told her they would not. he was sent to the hospital, where every Medical assistance was given her ; she lingered in the most excruciating pain for about twenty hours, and then died."

Per Phoenix (convict's ship.) EXECUTION for MURDER. at BOMBAY. On the 20th of October, Andrew Reagan was executed pursuant to sentence passed by the Record on Satur day the 13th, for the wilful murder of a poor man in a pagoda at Poonah. The circumstances of the case are the following : On the evening of the 20th of August last, several poor people, who were travelling to the city of Poonah, took up their quar ters for the night in a pagoda, which stands near the high wi y, about two miles from the city, and about three quarters of a mile from the cantonements of the horse artillery and 47th regiment. About ten o'clock they were awoke by a great not e in the pagoda, occasioned by t' entrance of two or three sol diers, who began to strip them of their clothes, and to demand money, threatening to shoot them if they did not comply. Amongst those who had taken up their quarters in the pagoda, there was a poor man, who with his wife hid in an inner apartment; the soldiers, after taking away their clothe', laid hold of the woman, when the husband said to them, " after taking aw a y our clothes, are you going to take my wie also ?" upon this one o f the soldiers snapped a pistol at him twice. and finding it would not go off, he borrowed another pistol from one of his companions, loaded it, and deliberately shot the poor unresisting man through the heart. When her husband fell, the woman seized the murderer by the sleeve of his shirt, and held him until his repeated blows, and threats of inurdain her also, obliged her to desist, and they all made their escape.—. Up to the last moment lie persisted in his innocence, and ee claret! that Young, one of his associates, was the man v committed the murder. He' proceeded to the pla , T of ex( cu • cution with a sullen indifference, and appeared altogether in sensible to the humane endeavours of Mr. Davis to turn Ma attention to prayer.—( Bombay Courier, Oct. 2.5.)

Barley is in fair demand, at Is. to 2s. per quarter advance on the terms of this day se'nnight,- Beans are sought after to-day, and they are also Is. per quarter dearer. Boiling Peas are without alteration ; Grey Peas are rather dearer. There has been tolerably free sale tor Oats this morning, and the prices of this day se'nnight are fully sup. ported.
