We - have received by Express tl)e Etoile of Yesterday ; but it contains nothing of importance. The following are extracts : LFrom the Etolle of Yesterday.] l irrront.t, MAacu 12.—The General Junta of the Province assembled here this week. They occupied themselves concerning the three mil lions of reaux which his 'Majesty has demanded of the three provinces. This Junta has appointed I'vo Commissioners, jointly charged, with those named for the other two provinces. to take an gccount of the imposts which each of them pays. The roads are at present so safe that travellers can travel all night. The Royal Volunteers of Vittoria are already dressed in their regimentals to the number of 7,000. PALis.—Th e news of the Declaration of the Independence of th e Pacha of Egypt wants con firmation, as it might have come sooner by one of our merchant ships direct from Egypt.— The Duke Decazes has arrived at Paris. Mr. Brown, who replaces Mr. Gallatin as Envoy from the United States, has arrived at Cherbourg. In the Chamber of Deputies, egth March, no thing of consequence. RERTES AT PARIS—Money, 103. bO.; End of the month, 10 3- SO. , • Ducats , 9 • 64. , Spanish, 24. The French Papers, received last night by Express, are again almost entirely filled with the Proceedings of the Chamber of Deputies, and - Particularly - with the discussion of the case of M. 13ENJAIIIN CONSTANT. This celebrated Deputy appears to have successfully refuted all the statements and arguments brought forward by DuDoN, with.the view of proving that he is u.ot entitled to the rights of a French subject.— demonstrated that his father had obtained the fall restoratio n of his rights in 1791, and that in stead o f afterwards r.eti r i n r, to Switzerland, as bad been asserted, he had remained in France, and died there, after a residence of up wards of twenty-one years. The subject was ultimately referred to the Bureau for re-con sideration, with an understanding, however, that it shall not be considered until after the. Chamber shall have been definitively consti i mod and the Address to the KING voted. The 4licusision of his eligibility has been productive of this advantage to M. BENJASISN CONSTANT, that it has shown that besides the possession of great personal talents, he has the honour of an ancient and illustrious descent, and that the very ancebtor who was represented as having fled from France as a traitor, had, by his prowess, saved the life of the great ITENsty THE Foust::: in battle. We are assured, from the highest authority, that the Emperors of RUSSIA and AUSTRIA have determined to effect a considerable reduction of their armies. Trcelve o'Cluck.—Consols opened this morning at 9414 1 and soon after were done at 9482, but again got up to 9484, with some busi ness doing.—One Express has arrived from Paris, but the prices of the French Renter have not as yet been made public. It is reported they have come lower. Fo REIGN MARICZT.—This being Settling Day for all Foreign Securities, there is much bustle in the Market, particularly in settling the accounts. The report of a New Spanish Loan being contracted for, of 9,500,0001. has not had much effect upon the Market. Old Spanish Bonds opened at 20k, but soon atter got up again to 21. This hieing Settling-day in Foreign Securities, the jobbing fraternity have,got up a battle be tween a French and English frigate off Algiers, and a Congress to settle the differences between Portugal and the Brazils. From information transmitted to us, in conse ' quence of the Letter in our Paper of yesterday, signed 44 insTrews," we believe that the Public will be unable to obtain any further satisfaction respecting the fate of M. Z EA'S Loan, than that whicit is furnished by the Decrees of Congress respecting the validity of the con tract, and by which M. ZEA's Loan is dis tinctly annulled, on the ground that no powers for that purpose had been delegated to him. From the very best authority, we are enabled to state, that M. lineTAno neither will nor can swerve from the principle and the line of conduct which the Decrees in question prescribe, and of which the old Con tractors are perfectly apprized, they hav ing had the Decrees forwarded to them from Bogota by their agent there. It now remains, therefore, for the Contractors, if they can, to deny the accuracy of this statement, in order that a question of such vital importance may no longer be a matter of uncertainty to the numerous parties 'who are so deeply in terested in its decision. We are further inform ed, that sinister attempts have been made to in duce Mr. HURTADO to accede to a recognition of the Bonds, for speculating purposes, but that the proposition was rejected by that Gentleman with the most marked indignation. Capitalists will not be sorry to learn that an other new Insurance Company is forming upon a most extensive and respectable basis, and under the auspices or some of the greatest Bankers and first Mercantile Houses of the kingdom. Messrs. DosANQuET, PITT, and Co., and Messrs. COUTTS and Co.; are amongst the most active promoters of the Instituion, vthich, from all we hear, bids fair to receive the most distinguished support and patronage. German Papers to a late date have arrived.— They repeat, in confident terms, the intelligence which we announced on Monday, that the Viceroy of Egypt has declared himself independent of the Porte—an event which must be considered of the highest importance. These Papers also state the capture of Corou and the out-works of Le panto by the Greeks. Lord BYRON, it is added, had returned from Trip°lizzo to Missolonghi ; his Lordship had every where been received with great honour. Tile Dux( of Yones LETEE.—Yesterday afternoon, at four o'clock, the Duke of Yoax held a Levee as Commander-in-Chief, at his Office in the Horse Guards, which was attended by the Duke of Athol, the Earl of Carhampton, General Gascoyne, Lieut.-General Sir George Cooke, Major-General Guard, Major-General Turner, Major-General Mosham, Major-G enerat Blandon, and above forty other distinguished Officers. Yesterday, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the residonce of the Earl of Liyan- POOL, at Whitehall, which was attended by the Earl of Harrowby, the Earl of Westmorland, Mr. Peel, Mr. Canning, Earl Bathurst, the Duke of Wellington, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Viscount Melville, Mr. Wynn, Mr. Huskisson, and Lord Bexley. This was the first Cabinet Council that Viscount Melville has attended since his indisposition. The Cabinet sat in deli beration till a quarter past four o'clock. The Earl of LIVERPOOL, we are happy to state, was yesterday so much better as to admit of a Cabinet Council being Meld at his re3idence at Whitehall. A letter was yesterday received from Mr. SCARLET; written apparently in good spirits, and we trust completely restored to health. nd ratorm of lberton, etors of le ; Fe' inst, re id () war., !omniit- a Pt.l - re, sed. mva t° an Ana C a n' in eY l ' 110ti el ' Fill be a •time , 2 a(t aiesc* nolgeq &c- f t npoi ' loth°. nd l'13" 3hearl , l° 3 ? 3441 ing of a nd erces cai943 table. el eil an to tie on Li' e nt by }eo. 3, t time, le 0° :ertain aPP I Y 00, 0 ° U to xis °' zses, iesjsl THE KING, &c. Tirrainson., MARCH 30 . —Notwithstanding the unfavourable aspect of the weather, this afternoon, the KING left the Palace in his pony phaeton, at a quarter before three o'clock, for the Lodge in the Great Park. His Majesty drove himself, and was accompanied by the Marquis Conyngham.—l4ast evening his Majesty had a large party to dinner, consisting of—Count Munster, Duke of Dorset, Marquis, Marchioness, Lord Fran cis, Lord Albert, and Lady Elizabeth Conyngham, Earl and Countess of Bathurst, Lady G. Bathurst, Earl and Countess of Bristol, Lord Hervey, Lady A. Hervey, Lord Ancram, Lord and Lady Maryborough, Lord Clarendon, Lord Clinton, and several distinguished Personages. The Band of the 75th Re giment were in attendance and entertained the company with some exquisite pieces during the evening. Count Munster ar rived at the Palace yesterday, and left at half-past two this day. Lord Clarendon also arrived on a visit to his Majesty last evening, and left the Palace again this morning. Lord Clinton arrived last evening, and an audience, and dined with morning the Duke of Dorset, Earl of Lau dheisrdllalajesy le,E t a . rl and Countess Countess and Lady G. Bathurst, Lord and Lady Hervey, left the Castle for London. The Earl and Countess of Bristol left also fpr Brighton. During the erec tion of the Public Monument to' the memory of her late Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte of Wales, Divine Service will be performed only once a day, from twelve o'clock until one, at St. George's Cathedral. We understand it is his Majesty's intention to pull down his stand at Ascot Heath, and rebuild one upon a different construction. Mr. Nash is employed in forming a new plan, which will shortly be submitted for his Majesty's approval. 4 fir -- ; ri ,k l vim - .70., A Sref, Q *,..e,' - - - - k. $...1 , ' .:;< Kvi... rt--- .4. 4 . , 4 ~,t •,...)- : , f . r. .

The Marchioness of Lansdown gave her third rout for the season, on Monday evening, at Lansdown House, Berkeley square, which was attended by a very elegant assemblage of distinguished fashionables. Emily Marchioness of Londonderry gave another splendid rout, on Monday evening, at her house in St. James's-square, which was attended by.the - Duke of Wellington and upwards of a hundred of the haut ton. . Lady. Alvanley's musical party, on Monday evening, in George-street, Hanover-square, was very numerously and fa shionably attended. Mrs. Mode had a musical party on Monday evening at her house in Bryanstone_square, which was attended by his Excel lency Baron Pagel and a large party of distinction. The Bishop of Lincoln had a grand dinner party yesterday at his house in Connaught-place. The Marquis of Anglesea entertained a distinguished party to dinner yesterday at lus house in Old Burlington -street. A w o „ K OF MILTON't; DrscoYzituo.—ln the House of Commons on Monday night was noticed the discovery of a posthu mous work of MILTON, by Rlr. LasioN, Deputy Keeper Of State Papers. The existence of such a work, and its title, are i n hi s Atkerur O zon i snses, mentioned by W oo d , and afterwards by Birch. in his Life of the Poet; but, until the, d iscover; o f Mr. Lemon, of th e State Paper Offic e ,l': no . c l ue wa s possessed f or tracing this valuabl o literary treasure. It was known, upon th e authority of Wood, that the manuscript -had b een last seen i n t h e only Possession of Mr. C yr i ac Skinner, a merchant of London, and, as a ll t h e readers of Mi lton friend of our grea t B ar d. — knw, i o iow th i e i it afterwards got i n t o th e St ate P aper Office cannot now b e ascertained ; but it is a singular fact, that when discovered, the manu script was wrapped in an envelope, with the ad dress upon it " To Alr. Skinner, merchant." The Princess AuGtirri received Vilitg yester day from the Duchess of GLOUCESTER awl the Princess SOPHIA. Her Royal Highness's new residence in the Stehle-yard, St. James's, was yesterday thronged with the female branches of the Nobility and Gentry, leaving their cards, &c.—On Monday evening Prince Lioporm, at tended by Baron STocam.tn,left town for Clare mont. We have received the Jamaica Courant of the 11th and 12th ult., being two days later than the packet. The Cambridge transport, from Cowes, had arrived with detachments for the dif fere;►t regiments on the island. No other intel ligence appears in these palms. A letter from Odessa, dated on the sth March, N.S. states, " that an English vessel had arrived there in two days, from Constantinople, by which the important intelligence had been communicated of fifty-eight Greek vessels having ac tually arrived in the mouth of the Dardanelles, and that greet alarm had been created in Constantinople, in consequence of this event," &c. _ _ The celebrated ROUSTAN, the faithful Mame luke of BITONAPAILTE, arrived in London yesterday morning, from the Continent, decorated, as is his invariable practice, with the superb suit of arms, pistol, sabre, and carbine, pre sented to him by his late master. The Aiarquis of LO',lnoNnEtlicr has given 1,0001., and the Marquis Of DONEGALL a similar sum, towards erecting a new bridge in Belfast, which will connect it with the County Down. About a month ago, an estate, well situate on the Girvan, and rented now at 4601. or thereabounts; was sold by private bargain for 14,0001. NVithin this fortnight another, rented at 330 k., and in other respects, perhaps, - pretty equal in its advantages, sold for 16,0201. in money, with °thereon ditions worth, perhaps, one thousand pounds more. The nu merous grass-fields of Dunure and DunduT, were let, by roup, on Saturday last; at the briskest bidding for the whole which we remetnber, part at nearly double and generally ene-third above the former rents of last year. The highest were taken for sum mer bowings of cows (an excellent arrangement, if it were more general, to provide cur supplies of the best milk, cheese and but ter), with accommodation merely of houses to the grass. Our markets speak for themselves cs to all produce, and to th© farmer and landlord the alteration and rise, of which we - havc given these particular instances by chance, as having best come under our notice, are, of course, every where proportionable throughout the whole of this part of the country. —( Ad vertiser.) POETRY. CANOVA. The Marble, wrought by chaste CANOVA'S hand No more, like ccld, and senseless stone will'stand, 'But almost breathing, urge the sage to give The last fine touch, and bid the statue live ! Alike for him, the beings of each sphere Obey the call, and on the block appear; The Fiends from hell, and Angels from above, In order stand, his mighty skill, to prove. Dejected now, the Suns of Sculpture weep, For lo ! CANOVA lies in icy sleep ; His genius they invoke with fond desire, For one bright spark of is celestial fire! Ah who shall now, sweet YEN tea' beauties show, And dry her tears which for CANOVA flow ? T'is CUANTR Y, shall the weeping Queen beguile, And light her features with a heavinly smile ! • THE MARQUIS OF HASTINGS. In consequence of the question which has been brought forward, and led to discussions at the East India House, the Marquis of HASTINGS has thought proper to publish a tract in vindication of his co n d uc t, an d i n manifestatlon of his ser vices. The following are the.:main . points stated fproownetirerd.oanfgoerourstr has f robmee n its in this public a ti on : •, • : . •. " Ist. Th e o v e rween i ng insolence and hostility of'Ncpaul, a that people s ens ibl e th e can only attain their independence as a state thiou g h the moderation of the British Government. .' " 2d. The Pinclarry AssociatiOn, a dreadful scourge to every neighbouring community, s p o oli cotniiopn l aletelonygcabnasetzenteedns, a. 9 .to make and open extensive and peculiarly afilictive to the Ho nouTabie Company's subjects, has been annihilated; .and the fruitless annual expense of protective measures against these depredators, together with frequent heavy loss of. revenue, is henceforth precluded. " 3d. A confederacy, ',dinin g ano less than the total extir pation of the British from India, has been so thoroughly sub verted, that not a germ is left for its reproduction. " 4th. Throughout the term of an administration, during which such unprecedented, demands for ay:it - ices on the spot were to be met, the Honourable Court has received, on an average, annual supplies from India (beyond the amount of supplies front England to India) nearly trebling the rate of supplies furnished to it on the average of twenty years preced ing. For five years of my administration, which most de manded extraordinary effort in India, the supplies- nearly quintupled the former example. " 6th. The yearly Indian Revenue of the Hon. Company, from permanent resources, exhibited at the close of the last official year an incr eas e of 5,175,0001. sterling by actual receipt. For reasons assigned. that increase is expected to amount in the present year, 1822-23, to 6 millions. There is no probability that it should hereafter sink below that rate; but there Is every just ground to reckon upon its progressive augmentation. " Bth. The clear Indian surplus to be henceforth exhibited is estimated by me at 4 millions sterling yearly. It will pro bably be more ample. " 7th. The Honourable Court has been, with a material saving, delivered from an embarrassing perversion of the con ditinns of former loans ; while the justice of the operation was so distinctly recognized, that the credit of the Hon. Company's Indian securities has risen to a pitch which no speculation could ever have presumed. " 8 8 th. In the year 1813-14, the independent Powers of India were so numerous and strong, as to conceive themselves able to expel the Briti s h. A t p resent, every native state in that vast re; ion is in either acknowledged or essential subjugation to our Government. " Lastly. These advantages arc not counterbalanced by any burdens contracted in the acquiring them; because there is at this instant an accumulation of cash in the treasuries-beyond what I set out with, more than sufficient to wipe off the addi tion debt incurred during my administration, were it wise so to employ the money. " As to myself, I can readily imagine that I may not have adequately improved openings which fortune presented ; that 1 may not have achieved all the salutary purposes, which the devoted gallantry of the troops at my disposal could have en abled me to secure, that I may not have attained ends, profit able for the Honourable Company, with as little hazard or ex• penditure as would have attended their acquirement in bands more skilful. But it is not a claim of ability that lam main taining; my engagement was to defend and promote, to the best of my capacity, the concerns with which I was intrust ed. I have sought to show, that in a crisis of unparalleled complication, extent, and difficulty, the exertion in which the fuliihnent of my obligation consisted was not forborne. The issue will bear out my pretension ; for the settlement of such a violently disturbed mass will never be referred to chance, but will be attributed to the efforts which, however they might he deficient in judiciousness, must have been anxiously pondered, consistent, and indefatigable." BO D Y-SriATCHENG. MARLBOROUGH-sTrtErr.—A few days ago t wo respectable young women applied to the Mlgistrate under the following circumstances :—Their father was formerly in afiluen t circumstances, but became embarrassed and separated from his family; he w as r e duced to the necessity of seeking refuge in Lam beth workhouse, where he died. As soon as the daughters heard of this they hastened to pay the last tribute of respect to their Parent, and gave orders respecting his burial ; hut on going to th workhouse the night before the funeral was to take place they were shocked to find the body of their father missing, and no person able to give the least account of it. They traversed the streets all night, in hopes afhc.aringsorne intelligence that ought assist them in their search for their father's body, until at length they heard of two men, with a horse and cart, having been seen at the door of Me. Carpue, the celebrated Anatomist, Dee.n street, Soho. Under these circumstances Mr. COKANT ths patched Clements, en active officer of this establishment, to Mr. Carpue's with the females, but they were refused admission; however, a threat from Clements procured his admittance, but delicacy prevented the females from being allowed to proceed into the Anatomical Theatre ; they however described a large scar on their parent's ear by which Clements might identify him, and on proceedin g up into the theatre he fPund the body with c s ee:garianl with others,m more e l certainty, untiehed he by sentbate knife r t e he e but, lds i t n feoror order , to w a h s c; no sooner saw the body than she fell into violent hysterics, but was recovered. Having obtained Mr. Carpoe's promise that the body should not b e remove d , Clements proceeded back to the Magistrate, who wrote a letter to Mr. Catpue, requesting the body might he restored, which Mr. C. very readily complied with, and at night it was conveyed away by the deceased's friends. Mr.Carpue had riven eight guineas for the body ! W e are authorized to state, that the report, again revived in a letter from Madrid, of Messrs. oLLET-r, liaoTrigas, sand Co. having offered to furnish 12,000 Irish troops for the service of Spain, is utterly destitute of found°. Times. ) VALVE OF haTICE.—An att orne y in France having hought a charge of bailiff for his son, ad vised hint never to work in vain, hut to raise contritations nu those who wanted his assistance. " What, father !" said the son in surprise, " would you have me sell jnstice i "—" Why not ?" answered the father; " is so scarce an article to be given for nothing ?" Suictot.s.—John Hill, a livery stable-keeper, of Oxford-street, put an end to his existence on Monday. I t appeared that he had first cut his throat, but finding that not effectual, he strangled himself with a rope. Temporary derangement was proved, and the Coroner's - Inquest returned a' verdict accordingly:—Monday night a female threw herself off the north end or Waterloo Bridge. A waterman, who was on the river at the time, picked up a Leghorn bonnet, but the body of the unfortunate woman has not yet been found.—And yesterday morning a genteel-look itig man, apparently in great distress of mind, . had got over the hallustradea of the Bridge, and was about to throw himself off, but was prevented by some gentlemen who were passing , at the time. It appears that the . same individual had before made a similar attempt. LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT-(TurM A v.) TH .DONCASTER CLUB . IICIIISE.7-IRELARD V. IRELAND. Mr. PARKER. prayed his Honour to issue an injunction, restraining the Committee' of the lunatic from proceeding to sell the establish. ment fitted up for the accommodation of the gentlemen belonging to the Club - of the Doncaster Race Course. The plaintiff Thomas had put his brother Francis, who had be come a lunatic, into possession of the premises for '2l years, at a rent of 5 per cent. interest on the purchase money ; but th e defendant having become a lunatic, application had been made to the Court of Chancery, and the property had. been advertised for sale on the 22d lost: The VICE-CHANCELLOR inquired whether the sale had not been advertised under the. order of the Court h a_ove ?—Mr. PARKER said it had. VICE - CrIANCELLOR.—Then you must apply to the Lord Chancellor to discharge that order.— You now require me to enjon a sale directed to take place by his Lordship ; I cannot do that. The motiota is dismissed. [PROCEEDINGS OF YESTERDAY.) EXPARTE THE EAST INDIA COMPANY IN RE CITAILD A . • This w as an application ßANKßUPT of rather a novel nature, m a d e in behalf of the East India Company to the Court, pray ing that it would overbold certain moneys, which were a portion of the bankrupt's estate, until a Court of Law had given a decision upon a claim which tho.,pla:intiffs had made -upon a third party for the debt, which this third party had subjected thetnselves to a concurrent liability with the bankrupt.m discharge. It appeared that the Company had a large ciaitnupon the bankrupt's estate; but from som e transactions between these parties and the firm of Barclay, Trittori, arid Co.,it became a question whether the latter were not liable to the debt as Well as the.bankrupt. An action was brought - at law, and a special verdict found for the Compan,v, but the Cou r t h a d not as yet g i ven e ff ect to t h at verdict. Under such eircum stanzas, the Court was now preyed to secure the plaintiffs out of the bankrupt's estate, in Case they should be . unsuccessful in the action against the fern of Barclay and Company. - Mr:ll:xi-IT appeared on behalf of the other creditors, to submit the inconveniency of locking up so large a portion of dividend from the general use. The Vfote•CklaardEr.r.ntt said that the way in wliich the claimit were made upon the bankrupt's estate opened a door to a good deal of legal doubt and discussion. Upon some of these he was himself desirous of having the opi nions of a Court of Law. • It was admitted, itcWever, that if the plaintiffs recovered against the firm of Barclay and Co. these questions would never be raised. Upon these grounds, therefore, he thought it the safer course' to postpone this cause to the decision of the Court of Law upon the special verdict, more particularly as that decision would' not be longer delayed than next Term. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. SURREY ASSIZES, MARCH 30. TIM RING v. COLLINGBOURN P. AND ()Turns. This was an indictment against the defendants, Coiling-- bourne, Atkins, and Humphreys, for a riot and assault at Wandsworth, on the 30th June last. The prosecutor was a baker named 'Woodward, residing at Wandsworth ; and the defendant, Collingbourne, was head constable of the same place; the other defendants were inhabi tants of the same town. On the 30th June there had been a wedding between two people in low life, in Air. Woodward's neighbourhood, and in the evening they were serenaded by some of the townspeople by what is called " rough music," which was played with tin kettles and marrow bones and cleavers. A crowd was collected, and no inconsiderable noise produced.— In the wantonness of the occasion some of the mob attacked the prosecutor's house, and beat the door With brick-bats and stones. The prosecutor came out and seized the defendants.-... Atkins and Hughes also were very active in the riot, and had rattled stones in the prosecutor's face.

(Pramlilone Journal.) • MAIDSTONE, AARCII 30.—Where the - blignt was most se yore last year, the stock is in a weakly and rotten state and those grounds which produced .the best hops, may.reasonably he expected to produce the best crops in the ensuing season.. The Sussex plantation has not been so much aff:cted by thy bight as Kent, because the Sussex Planters usually earili.their hills more plentifully. We have authority to say, that late on last Saturday evening the Marquess Camm.),r received a communication, informing him that a Treasury minute will be issued, orileririg the pay nr]nt of the reduced Duty on the crop of Hops of 1322 to be postponed until next November. In addition to the above, we have to submit to eurreaclers tho following particulars received last evening from Sir EDWA.III, KNATCHDULL : " 20, Great George-street, March 23. 1824: " . Stn-1 believe it is of great consequence to the tlop Planters to be informed of the final arrangement respecting th, Payment of the Duty. I fear it will not be possible for me . .to send you the official communication in time for your next pub lication. I forward to you the substance of the arran zement, " The Lords of the Treasury having remitiei one half of the Duty of 1822, have consented to postpone the payment of the other half till the month of November 1824. ru,, Duty. of 1823 will be collected at the usual time. If snv persons wish to be excused from paring this Duty, in con.. sequence of the promise held out to them last year, they will be excused, but they will be required to pay the whole Duty of 1822. " Your's faithfully, " L. kNATCHBULL. " Mr. J. V. HALL, " King's Arms Office, Maidstone."
