It is reported that the CHANCELLOR of the Excil E c i um will bring forward the Budget on Friday- There is a rumour that a Russian squadron of four sail of the line and three frigates is preparing for sea, but it appears to be unfounded. The lionse of Messrs. ALEXANDER and FLETCHER are said to have received a letter of the 9th March fro m a person who accompanied Sir CIIARLE3 MTARTIIT to Accra, and who makes no men ;ion of the battle with the Ashantees. Extract of a Letter from Batavia, Nov. 28 : " An attack was expected upon Penang by the natives of Quida (the coast opposite), \4K) de tnand their King, now with the English. It is B aiti the Sovereign of Siam is the instigator. The forc e at Penang does not amount to a regiment, but they have sent to Bengal for a reinforcement. Should the natives venture on Penang, the build ing will probably be destroyed, and the bland laid waste ; but it is thought the fort will pro tect the Europeans." We invite the serious attention of the Public and of Government to the subject matter of the subjoined letter from a highly respectable Correspondent. The theoretical Political Eco nomists will doubtless oppose with all their "ergies any proposition for imposing restric tinus on the employment of their grand agent a nd idol, Capital, to whose absolute con -404 and sordid spirit of gain they are for aban doning all the best and dearest interests of Civilized Society. The evil complained of by on r Crrespondent bas, however, been already in dignantly reprobated by Mr. CANNING in Par liament ; and we trust that its continuance will not be suffered from mere considerations of de ference to the visionary speculations and perni cious dogmas of the Economists :- 11 R. EDITOR—It is somewhat surprising that you, who Profess to watch ever the interests of the country, should Permit a subject to pass without censure, or even coin en t, which may be attended with the most fatal results to E ngland at a period, perhaps, by no means remote. At th "l Moment two individuals, British subjects, and be -3'"(1 all comparison the largest capitalists in Europe, are exerting their resources for the purpose of aiding the finances of the natural enemy of this country. Such speculations In Pecuniary transactions as should have a tendency to in crease the debt, and consequently the buratens, of a foreign country, where the speculators could derive a personal ad vantage, I by no means condemn ; but the converse would in a 4. of war be high treason ; and in a time of peace, I submit, it is morally so. Yet one of these Contractors seats himself ; that b ench of the House of C ommons, w hi c h i s emphati ehally styled Y patriotic—and calls himself a 'nig—and has,no "station in employing the vacation in placing France in the /11c4 t adva ntageous position to exert h er strengt h in offensive 2 -neasures against this country. So true is Mr. CANNING'S ob servation., that the real tyranny of Europe is in the moffy market, and that however he may exert himself in support of the inde pendence of South America, Spain may at any hour obtain funds from the capitalists of this. co - antry, and defeat his most, ardent exertions ! ! ! I leave it, Mr. Editor, to your discretion to decide whether the subject of this communication be, or not, a fit topic to which public journalists should direct the public attention. ***elk Letters from Lisbon of the 23d ult. men tion that a French sloop of war had arrived there with troops from Cadiz. This 'circum stance had Caused some sensation in Lisbon ; but the officers, on being questioned as to their motive in coming to Lisbon, stated that they were on their way to France—the period of their service in Spain being expired. The Lisbon mail which arrived yesterday, brought Royal Gazettes to the 24th of April in clusive. They are chiefly engrossed with de tails relative to the counter-revolution at Macao, of the fact of which we have been already in formed. We ,believe that people are now beginning to cry out against the Assessed Taxes, and their continuance, at a period of the Session when the plan of Finance is in a great degree settled. They should have expressed their feelings sooner; and we have no doubt that a Financial Scheme, more in accordance wi►h those feelings, and also with the Most obvious principles of political eco nomy, would then have been conceded. The apparent apathy of the public to their own inte rests led Ministers to suppose that sufficient alleviation had been granted under the most oppressive heads of taxation. The Bill for the relief of Unitarian Dissenters was thrown out last night in the Upper House by a majority of thirty-nine ; the numbers being 66 for, and 105 against it. It was warmly op posed by the LORD CHANCELLOR, who said he thought the measure proposed most pernicious to the Church Establishment. Unitarians, Lord ELDON asserted, were not Dissenters, and could not claim the benefit of the Toleration Act, from which they were particularly excluded. Lord LIVERPOOL supported the measure, in which his Lordship stated, he could see nothing injuri ous to the interests of the Established Church. The Bill received the support also of the Arch bishop of CANTERBURY and the Bishop of EXETER ; the former said that the law, as it now stood, caused persons to simulate assent, which was most mischievous. The Bishops of CHESTER. and St. DAVID'S strongly opposed the Bill. Lord LAmsDowN contended that the argu ments of the former Prelate were calculated rather to stifle the consciences of the Unitarians than to p - romote the interests of the Established Church. In the House of Commons, Captain MASERLY moved an Address, praying his MAJESTY to ad vance, through Commissioners, a sum not ex. ceeding 1,000,0001., to be distributed in Loans to individuals in the Provinces of INlunstlr and Con naught, in Ireland. After a debate, the motion was negatived by a majority of 85 to 33. Frankfort Papers to the close of the last month reached us last night. They inform us that the Emperor of AUSTRIA had sent to Lieutenant.. Colonel FARQUIIA R, Governor of the British Set tlement of Sincapore, the Cross of the Order of Leopold ; and to Mr. MONTGOMERY, Physician to the Garrison of that place, a Diamond Ring, as an acknowledgment of the services which they ren dered to the crew of the Austrian frigate Caro line, when she put into Sincapore with the Cholera 111 orbus on board. The Government of Greece has sent a letter of thanks to the Committee established at Berne for the relief of the Greek exiles. On Monday, when it was announced at the Paris Stock Exchange that no dividend was to be paid on the Spanish Constitutional loans, a tumult was excited by the holders of the bonds, who cried " Down with the loan of GUEIMARD !" A Commissary of Police and a posse of gens-d'armes soon restored tranquillity. The illoniteur contains a notice from the Por tuguese Consul-General at Paris, couched in the same terms as that which we lately copied from the Lisbon Papers, declaring that the King of PORTUGAL will recognize no advance made to the present Government of Rio Janeiro. Yesterday morning the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had a long interview with the Earl of LIVERPOOL. Yesterday, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, in Downing street, which was attended by all the Cabinet Ministers, except the LORD C/IA.NCELLOR. The Cabinet at till a quarter before four o'clock.

Letters received in town from Lima, of a late date, state that BOLIVAR was expected there every day ;' they contain no political news of consequence. All was tranquil. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

Deptford was yesterday honoured with an extraordinary in flux of noble and fashionable - company. The Drjettne given by Captain PARRA', as a.farewell entertainment, was most nu-. merously attended, anda more splendid - assembly has rarely been seen on the bosom of " Old Father Thames." The morning was unfavourable, -. and the • fast falling rain threatened to detract materially - NM the gratification of the visitors: it, however, had not ihe effect of deterring those in vited from repairing to the festive scene. By noon the com pany began to arrive. They were admitted first into the Com meree steam-boat, which had been provided with a stage or landing-plaCe for the accommodation of - parties. From the Commerce the gay crowds passed into the Pheasant store-ship, and from this a few steps conducted them into the Hcc/a. The Fury lay beyond the Hecla, and, the four vessels, which were moored together, were all open for public inspection. - So much has been said of the general arrangements of the Discovery Ships, that nothing. we have to say on that subject can have the charm of novelty. But every object on board was viewed with interest by the guests of. yesterday. The elegantly furnished cabin of the Fury was much resorted to, and uniformly admired. The snug births of the officers, uniting in the space of a small cupboard the accommodations of a library and a bed-chamber; were curiously explored, and even the births of the common men were not passed over as unworthy of notice. These presented to the view plain solid tables, with seats on each side, which seats were at the same time chest's provided for the reception of their clothes and other stores.— Every chest was numbered, and each appeared sufficiently strong to bid defiance even to the rough usage of seamen for many years to come. The decks of the four vessels were covered in from - end to end with varied awnings, formed of different flags. Had the rain continued, sail-cloths were ready to be added to the cover ings, but fortunately about one o'clock the weather cleared up, and with the exception of a n occasional passing cloud, the day I, became remarkably fine. _ _ _ A band was stationed on hoard the Ueda, and by one o'clock the dancing commenced. The masts were surrounded with laurel, and the various avenues of the vessels were decorated with holly and divers shrubs. On each side of the vessel the inscription " Long live George IV." met the eye. and at the head of the ship a transparency representing the Crown,. with G. IV., had been prepared. This, with the Variegated lamps, which ornamented all parts of the ships, we presume, were intended to be used if the inclemency of the day had made an additional covering necessary, to compeniate . for the exclusion of light which would thus have been inevitable. The Ladies were very numerous ; such a display of fashion and loveliness must have exceeded the gallant Captain's most sanguine expectations. It' beauty really possesses the fire kindling power* which poets ascribe to it, the yesterday's cargo of the I-1 ecla and Fury might be opposed with no small ad vantage to the seas and icebergs - , with Whicl4 the daring navi gators will soon have again to contend. Many distinguished names appeared in the list of visitors. . Among the company we remarked— Earl Bathurst, Ladies George intl. Emily Bathurst, Lord and Lady Sidmouth, Lord Bexley, Si Henry, Lady, and Miss Martin, the Duke of Marlboroali, Lord Clinton, Mr. liobbouse, of the Treasury, Lord Nugerat, Sir G. Clerk, M.P., Mr. M'. W. Wynn, Mr. Whitbread, M.P., Mr. W. Williams, M.P., the Lord Mayor, Captain Franklin, Captain and :Airs. Napier, Mrs. Admiral Hamilton, Major George, &c. Between the decks of the Hech t tables were placed which were c overe d with all the, delicacies which taste could select to excite appetite. These were seen through the hatchways, but in the early part of the mornin g the staircases were secur e d to guard against a prematur e assault on the- viands prep are d for the mid-day repast. The hatchways were defended by the small rails. At one of them the words." Way up" were ex latter a consi hibited, at the other. 4 ‘ Way down." N ear. derable portion of the comp any, deficient in taste, were ho ver i ng throw h the forenoon like flies about a sugar cask. g who were not in all respects To make the treat in all respects complete, a numerous party -..rnong those who attended were Leete, Mr. Terrail, Madame Good a ll. .Mi ss. Stephens was ex pected but did not come. A l etter was rece i ve d f rom h er ex- PSiarst G. Paton, Miss Mr. Hawes, M r. cusing her absence on account of the threatening aspect of the weather. Several songs and glees were sung in the course of the morn ing • the following were of the number discourse," Miss breathe soft," b y Miss Paton.—" Bid me dis Miss Goodall.----Glee, " The merry month of \ n e accendi," Madame Pasta.—" Di Placer," 11 Love is like the red red Rose." Alas," - 1 ° n. T -- n G el h ee --The celebrated romance " Del Celina," from the Opera of " Otello." Madame Pasta. — " Peaceful slumbering on the Ocean,"' Miss Goodall ; and "The banks of Allen Water," by Miss Paton. It is almost superfluous to add, that the efforts of those emi nent performers commanded universal applause, and made the animated novelty of the whole scene truly delightful. At a quarter after two o'clock Captain Parry caused the " Way Down" to be opened, and had the honour of conducting Earl Bathurst and Ladies George and Emily to his cabin._ They were followed by other visitors of rank, and the company generally were admitted to the tables between the decks. These were covered with wines, jellies, cream, fruit, and innumerable delicacies. It was quite impossible for the whole of the guests to be accommodated at once, but not the slightest disorder oc curred. Those who were not foremost were content to wait, and those who were first at the tables soon gave way to others. They partook of the refreshments standing, and the servants were so well trained, and the supplies so abundant, that the profusion which marked the opening of the Dejeune was fully maintained to the last. It was impossible for an entertainment of the kind to he ma naged better. Though the party Was numerous, from the good humour, and we may add the good manners which they brought with them, no inconvenient pressure was felt, or if felt, it was but momentary. All seemed to come with a disposition to be pleased, and found what would not have failed to please them had they came in a different mood. Theypa r to o k w i t h hil ar i ty of the splendid repast prepared, bat gav e into no conv i v i a l ex kbatonquet which hospitality the health and future c h e a s tl s e s s p ; r e a a d n ,d t v, h -h e i y le fa th il e e y d e n nj o o t y t e o d d t r h in e success of their gallant host and his companions in danger. While the majority of the company were at the tables below the band continued playing on the deck of the Hecla. Thither those who were first dispatched re-ascended, and the dance and song were renewed. Shortly after four 'o'clock the guests began to take their leave, and the attendance grew compara tively scanty. But the gratified throng was too numerous to be soon embarked, and it was long after that hour before Capt Parry and his officers could boast of a " clear ship." The Archbishop of Canterbury gave a grand dinner on Mon day to the Bishop of Norwich and his Lady, the Bishop of London, Airs. and Miss. Howley, the Dean of Canterbury and his Lady, the Rev. and Mrs. Vaulkes, Rev'. Dr. Todd, the Rev. Lonsdale, &c. at Lambeth Palace. Sir G. Warrender, Bart. gave an elegant entertainment on Monday to the Duke of Gloucester, Lord and Lady Melville, Lord Binning, the Earl of Carysfort, Lord Maitland, Lord Ponsonby, Colonel Dalton, Mr. and Mrs. Freeruantle, &c. at his house, Whitehall-place. Lady Mary Petre entertained a distinguished party at dinner yesterday at her house in Grosvenor-square. The Dowager Marchioness of Salisbury had an elegant circle of fashionables yesterday at her house in Arlington -street. The Countess of Arran entertained a party of distinguished fashionables yesterday evening at her house in Dover-street. The Countess of Essex's ball on Monday evening, in Hill street, Berkeley-square, was very elegantly attended. •• •• ,:h. , 2_.• , , • (g\ ':' ll :y A r b Pj- s - ) t C1 0 4 7-'1 '4 4 tr 7 l' - ; • : r YI • p*o . 0 • 01 - tr) J 4, r -A-7 4 -T- • 440. MR. HUSKBSON'S LETTER. TO THE EDITOR. • Snt—l avow myself the friend alluded to by Mr. ROBERTSON, in his letter published in your Paper Of Monday, ,relating to the one which has appeared, in all the Public Prints 'from Mr. HUSKIS:kON to Air. GLADSTONE. For the satisfaction of my private friends,..l deem it necessary to give 'some further explanation' as regards my conduct in this matter.—Mr. Gladstone appears certainly to, have sent the let ter in question, or rather a copy of it, t o Mr. Robertson, with the injunction, as I am informed, that no friend of his watt to take a copy or extract of the same ; but in forwarding this to me (I confess confidentially), Mr. Robertson, omitted altogether to give me the important caution enforced by Mr. Gladstone. Seeing nothing in the letter but sentiments which did Mr. Huskisson the greatest credit, I took a copy of it for the satis faction and comfort of a partieular friend of mine in Jamaica, and deeply interested there ; but I alsci made the communica tion to him confidentially, and I feel assured that in doing 8 0 1 my motives and conduct are quite as free from blame as those of Mr. Robertson, when, from feelings of friendship, be made me acquainted with the contents of Mr. Huskisson's letter.— As regards my friend in Jamaica, I am persuaded it will be found that he has not been a willing insjrument in giving pub licity to the letter in question. I am, Sir, your humble Servant, J. WATSON. Mi nc ing -lane, May 4, 1824. CORINTHIAN. — The origin of this slang appel lation, which has been 17tely applied to the Tont and Jerry tribe of rioters, is not generally under ' stood, but is to be found in , the First Part of Henry IV. The passage is as follows :—Prince Henry says, speaking Of the familiarity ,, o Theythe ' Drawers at the - Boar's /lead 'Tavern, take it upon their salvation, that though I be bet - Prince-of Wales, yet lam the King of Courtesy ;and tell me flatly I am no proud Jack, like Falstaff, but a Corinthian, a lad of mettle, a - good boy—by the lord, so they call me ; and when I am King of England I shall command all :the good lads in East Cheap."— Dr. Jou - lames explanation of Corinthian is "A wencher.". Mr. STEEVENS says " This cant o expression ti,h,inn i e , Lo a m lo l u n s o o i v n e7 oLd plays." So Ran d 163, ----.." Let him wench, " Buy me all Corinth for him." " Non cuivus homini contingit adire Coi inthum"' The word Corinthian is only once mentioned by SHAKSPEARE, in the passage above noticed. DEATH of the BISHOP Of CHICHESTER.—W e re#et to announce tiny death of Dr. BUCKNER, Bishop of CHICHESTER, which took place on Sa turday last at Chichester Palace. The vene rable prelate had been in a declining state of health for some months. He was, we believe, nearly 90 years of age, and was a most pious and exemplary character. lie succeeded to the l3ishoprick of Chichester in the year 1797, on the death of Bishop Ashburnham. FIRST DAY or Tiam.--This morning the Judges, agreeable to ancient custom, breakfasted with the . • Lotto CHANCELLOR in Lincoln's Inn Hall. His Lordship received his guests with his usual complacency. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE, who was yesterday sworn in, met with the con gratulations, of his brother Judges, and .was warmly greeted on his installation. The King's Counsel having joined their Lordships, the whole proceeded in grand procession through Lincoln's Inn-fields, along Great Queen-street, Long-acre, and down St. Martin's-lane, to the Courts in Westminster, which were opened with the usual formalities. . Extract of a letter, dated Canton, January 9: —" Every thing goes on quietly here, and the Lintin affair is at last settled by the Emperor of China leaving the King of England to punish Captain Richardson and the murderers should they ever dare to return to their own country."' The Medical Society of London presented the Fothergilliau Gold Medal, for the best Essay on Curvatures and Diseases of the Spine, to It. W. BAMPFIELD, Esq., of Bed ford.street, Covent garden, at their General Meeting, on the 3d instant. WiNusort CAsT . T.E.—The Castle of Windscir with all its adjuncts is the most ,interesting monarchical and historical scene in England—it is truly royal and magnificent ; our late venerated Mowancit did much to improve it, but it is still susceptible _of many and great additions and beneficial al terations. it is well known to those who have visited Windsor, that many mean and unsightly houses, out-buildings, and even sheds, had been raised against the Castle walls, and even in contact with the beautiful Chapel of St. George— that other parts of the noble fortress are encroached upon by private dwellings—that many innovations and dis cordant alterations have been made at different times to its exterior and interior—and that by the exercise of a little taste and talent Windsor-castle may be rendered not only pre eminent for dignity and grandeur, but worthy of the nation, and an honour to the age and Monarch. His present MAJESTY has fortunately fixed his affections on the place, and Parlia ment has voted a sum for improvements and embellishments. Messrs. SoANE, NAsu, and SHIRKE, as attached architects to the Board of Works, have been commanded by the KING to make plans and designs. 31r. JEFF nY WYATT has received a similar command, and etc drawings thus prepared are to be sent in this day. Persuaded as we arc, that the best and most ap propriate will be adopted, we look forward with no small degree of anxiety for the commencement, progress, and completion of the works. A vast deal is required to be done, and we have reason to believe that the governing powers arc desirous of carry ing into effect all that may seem requisite or expedient. The Rev. C. SumsErt, one of the Prebends of \l'orcester,Cathedral, is engaged in the translation of MlL •rox's Latin Work, recently discovered among some State Papers, and which will be published as soon as the requisite arrangements are completed. A Cornet- of Hussars, who was not the most polished in his manners, haring recently joined his regiment, was asked by his Colonel what hiS father was ; he replied, 44 A framer." 46 Pity your father did not make you follow his trade."' Upon which the Cornet asked, " Pray, Sir, what is your father ?" « A gentleman, Sir." " Pity he did not make you one." BOW-STREET.—(Turs DAY.) EXTENSIVE ROBBERY BY SERVANTS.—A young woman of very , respectable appearance, named Miss Sarah Harr, was brought up in custody, charged with receiving property to a very considerable amount, the goads of Mrs. Lee, of Tavis tock-street, Covent-garden, in whose employ she was as confi dential servant, well knowing the same to have-been stolen by other persons also in Mrs. Lees service. Mr. CHARLES PIIILLIPS conducted the case for the prose cutrix, and Mr. ALLEY the defence. Mrs. Lee stated, that in consequence of information she re ceived from a person named Higgins, who was in her service, she suspected Miss Hare, and, on her box being opened, a quantity of crape, lace, &c. were found. Miss Hare had been confidentially employed for four years, during which time she had been robbed of property to between 7001. and 8001. Considerable argument arose hs to the propriety of prosecut ing Emily Higgins as well as Miss' Hare. It being contended on the one side, that as she was supposed.to be the princiral thief, she also ought to be prosecuted ; and on the other, that it was necessary she should be a witness, in order to brihg the receiver to justice. . . Mr. MiNsitum, said he was unwilling to call the evidence of of Miss Higgins on the present occasion ; but as M e is n c d a e s r e r e r c e o s g t n iza there,nces a t n o d a b p o p u e n a r d at ov e t r h etheSeswltonness,s evidence against her. ewtasthuehe to oh7ivlde THE ARMY. .-., • TitE -Naw LEvrEs.—By the last -Rcter.7's .which haveb een received respecting the.
