The Cognac packet, from Liverpool, 'vas warned off yesterday, and proceeded for %Ilia. The Commodore of the Brazilian ves sels• of war has sent notice to the British Corn olndore and Consul, stating this port is under strict blockade. The notices were dated on the 7th, and delivered on the Bth instant." Our valuable private intelligence from Paris enabled us to state some time since that fears uer e entertained for the fate of the Project of the Law for reducing the French Rentcs in the Chamber of Peers. We were subsequently in formed, however, as we communicated to our headers, that in consequence of the personal in- Thience exerted by the Members of the Royal gamily, these fears were succeeded by a confi dent expectation that the Project would be car ried through the Peers by a small majority. It is a singular proof of the nicety with which the Mi nisters had ascertained the exact numbers of the Peers who were respectively hostile or friendly to their financial scheme, that the Prince POLIG. liAc was called to Paris from London principally for th e purpose of giving his vote in favour of the la w ,— a vote which the division on the first amendment, moved for the purpose of negativing the Project, proves to have been indispensable, " the amendment was rejected by a majority of only two votes ! An abstract of the proceedings of the Chamber on this important subject will be found in another column amongst our extracts from the foreign Journals. The Brazil Packet, which has arrived at Fal.l mouth, sailed from Rio de Janeiro on the 13th of March. The intelligence brought by the Packet is therefore anterior to that received by the Blossom, which left Rio on the 18th. There is no news of importance from any of the ports at which the Packet touched, except that three Brazilian frigates continued to blockade Pernam bucco, in consequence of the Governor's disobe iiience to the mandate of the Emperor, requiring him to deliver up possession of the place. The German Papers still contain rumours of a Congress, but much less confidently than here tofore. The journey of Prince METTERNICII from Vienna was at first laid bold of as a Circumstance confirmatory of the idea of the supposed Congress. Unfortunately it appear ed that while the Emperor of AUSTRIA was Proceeding to Prague, Prince METTERNICH went in an opposite direction, towards Johannisberg, celebrated for producing the famous Rhenish Wine of that name. One would think that a Nobleman might visit his private estate (for Jo hannisberg belongs to Prince METTEItNICH) with out any political motive : and such is probably the case in the present instance. We stated the other day that the intelligence of the catastrophe at Cairo had been fully confirmed. We now find also that our anticipa tions as to the real dispositions of the Porte to wards the Paella of EGYPT, were well founded. Th e Journal des Debats contains news from Zante of the 2d ult., which announces that lI3IZAHAM Buy had entirely thrown off the mask, and had issu e d proclamations declaring himself appointed by the Divan to be Vizier in the room of the PACIIA. The latter, though almost all his mili tary arsenal and stores had been destroyed by the conflagration of the citadel of Cairo, and though that capital had even fallen into the bands of his enemy, bad the army and abun dance of treasure on his side. It was thought, therefore, that he would ultimately succeed in re-establishing his power, and that in stead of continuing the war against the Greeks, he would be happy to make common cause with them against his despotic and ungrate ful master. Meanwhile, all the differences which had arisen between the Greek chieftains and the Government in the Morea are said to have en tirely subsided, and 40,000 experienced and well-organized troops to be ready to march to any point where the enemy might threaten to ef fect a landing. This is a most important result for the Greeks, and in conjunction with the dis positions in their favour which now prevail in all the great Cabinets, may be considered , as ren dering secure the full establishment of their in dependence. The Bogota Gazette of the Sth of. March an nounces the arrival of Colonel lIAM►L'roN, and Lieutenant-Colonel CAMPBELL, the British Com- missioners, in the capital of Colombia. At a public dinner given them on their journey by the Governor of Maraquita, at Honda, the Commis-1 1 sioners are stated to have proposed, as a toast, " The Independence of Colombia." Ix is not wonderful, that by a people anxious to ob tain its recognition by England, every cir cumstance of this nature, however trifling in itself, should be scrupulously recorded. Con gress had not met, but there wanted only the arrival of two more members of the Senate to complete the number prescribed by the Consti tution, in order to commence the sittings. Mr. HENDERSON, the Consul for Colombia, had not arrived at Bogota. On the 17th of April the shock of an earthquake was felt at Kingston (Jamaica), which in duration exceeded any which had been remembered for 34 years, but which did no material damage in the vicinity of Kingston. No accounts of its effect had been received from the interior. In another column we have inserted some do- currents connected with the recent events at Lisbon. They are of old dates. In the House of Lords, last night, the Bill for continuing the Insurrection Act in Ireland for another year was committed and reported. In the House of Commons the Report on the New Churches Bill was received, the numbers beiag, on a division, 42 to 9. ( From the Algemeinz Zeitung. AV STRIA.—His Majesty the Emperor having received notice of the death (on the 15th of May) of his Excellency Count Stadion, Minister of State for the Department of the Finances, has been pleased to address the following letter to Count Nadasdy, President of the Imperial Aulic Cham ber, respecting the provisional direction of the Finance De- partment " MY Dear Count Nadasdy, I am most profoundly afflicted by the loss which the State has just suffered by the death of Count Stadion. In the expectation that you will proceed in the path laid down by him, which I hereby impose on you as a duty, I confide to you the provisional direction of the Finance Department, while you, at the same time, retain your functions as President of the Aulic Chamber, as I have very much at heart the maintenance of the system of Finance as it now exists ; and in the execution of the preliminary measures requisite fur the completion of the plan that has been adopted, you will have most strictly to follow the regulations which have been approv ed and ordered by me in the management of the affairs of the Department of Finance." Prague, May 19, 1824. '(Signed) FRANCIS. KRONSTADT, MAY 10.—The relations of the Boyar Vil lara have just received positive information that he has at length been restored to liberty. At the same time we learn from Con stantinople that the Ottoman fleet passed the Dardanelles on the 28th of April. TRIESTE, MAY 18,—By a vessel which arrived here yes terday from Alexandria, which place it left on the 25th of April, we have not received any further intelligence respect ing the events at Cairo, or at Alexandria. The Pacha's ar maments continue, but up to that day not a man had been em barked in the vicinity of Cairo ; and even among the Pacha's trooops the plague raged in a horrible manner, in consequence of the confusion occasionedby the fire. We have received New York Papers to the 2d ult. Their contents are generally unimpor tant.—We subjoin an extract : _ _ " Nrw Vonic, MAY I.—Captain Baker, of the brig Fanny, from Curagoa, informs that a British sloop, laden with a cargo of rum, from Kingston, bound to Maracaibo, in beating up the south side of it. Domingo, was boarded by one of the Haytian brigs of war, and sent into Jacquemel ; after remaining there about twenty days was ordered to Port-au-Prince, where she was tried and condemned. The supercargo applied to the house of Brothers, Mundon, and Co., of that place, who applied to President Bayer for the release of the vessel and cargo. The President, considering the condemnation illegal, ordered them to be restored, with about 600 dollars damages, which offer was refused by the supercargo, not being sufficient to defray the expences sustained by the capture.. The supercargo, mas ter, and two of was crew, went from thence to Jamaica in an open boat. It expected that a British frigate would be sent from Jamaica to demand the surrender of the vessel, and pay ment for the damage sustained by the illegal capture." QUEBEC, APRIL 19.—The lake ice made its appearance on Thursday last ; it has all passed, and the river is now perfectly clear.—The large timber ship building at the island of Orleans caught fire, and nearly 40 feet of her length consumed. COLONEL FRENCIS.-In the John Bull of last Sunday, this Officer was mentioned in disrespect ful terms as the friend of Mr. BATTIER. John Bull is often too indiscriminate and wanton in his serious attacks and sarcasms. Colonel FRENCH is a highly respectable Officer, and before he ac cepted the situation of Master of the Ceremonies at Margate, had distinguished himself for mili tary knowledge and bravery in several memorable instances in the British Army. It is incumbent on John Bull to retract his hasty-sarcasm on this respectable Gentleman, who, far from being inti mate with Mr. BATTIER, has hardly any, if any, acquaintance with him. Yesterday afternoon, about six o'clock, Prince LEOPOLD, attended by Baron STOCKMAR, arrived at Marlborough-house from Claremont. His Royal Highness gave a Grand Dinner to a select Party in the evening. Amongst whom were— the Earl of Bristol, Lord Hervey, Right Hon. W. Huskisson, &c. The Duchess of CLARENCE dined with the Duchess of KENT yesterday, at her apartments, at the King's Palace, Kensington. Yesterday the Duchess of KENT, the Prince of LEIMENGEN, and the Princess FEODORE, paid visits to the Duchess of CLARENCE. THE THEATRES. DltuaY-LANE. — The King and Qaeen of the SANDWICH ISLANDS, With their attendants, last night occupied the Royal Box at this Theatre, which, by command of our Monarch, was suit- ably prepared for their reception. A vast mob assembled in the streets from the Adelphi to see them pass, and particularly before the door to the private boxes in Russell -street, to see them alight. Their Majesties were rece ived with warm acclamations by the crowd, which they re spectfully returned. t c'oeatre. was by no means crowded, but, on the contrary, tlfere were very few persons in the upper boxes, except on the side opposite to the bo x which contained the Royal Strangers. These extraordinary visitors were received with the same warmth from the audience as they experienced froth the popu lace without, and which they returned in the same respectful manner. • The first Piece was the Opera of Rob Roy, and the second the grand Spectacle of '-'oroaster. The dis- tinguished visitors, consisting of the KING, the QUEEN, and the, sister of the latter, oc- cupied the front row, and the rest of the party • V/ • stood behind. They all paid particular attention to the passing scenes, hut (lid not appear to re quire explanation front their interpreter. The KING was dressed in black, in the English style. lie appeared to be a grave reflecting character. The QUEEN, much higher in s t ature , directed her fine large eyes to every movement on the stage, and her sister was equally attentive. They also were dressed in the costume of this country. — As soon as they arrived " God save the King " was given by the usual singers, and many ladies and gentlemen appeared upon the stare. The Royal Sand wichers, and their train stood, during the whole of this performance, and then sat quietly through the rest of the subsequent re presentations. They, however, seemed to be par ticularly attracted by the splendid scenery of Zoroaster,which being chiefly anpntertainment for the sight,must doubtless have excited their wonder and admiration. On the final dropping of the cur tain, the audience saluted them in the same man- ner, and they made a respectful obeisance as they retired. The Managers, on the anticipation of a crowded audience, ordered all cards of admis sion to the free-list to be rejected, and therefore many of the rejected persons went away with strong expressions of disgust and indignation. It -is proper that orders should be prohibited on pe culiar occasions, but after the privilege of admis- • sion has been given, it is .certainly not civil or polite to refuse it at times when curiosity is chiefly excited, while on ordinary occasions it is, perhaps, but seldom used. It should indeed be observed that the notice of the prohibition appeared at the bottom of the play bills, placarded round the theatre ; but this notice could afford no information to those at a dis tance, who therefore naturally felt disappoint ment and anger, which they vented upon the harmless receiver of the free-tickets CovENT GA It DEN.-After the last new piece of Charles the Second, another new piece was brought forward under the title of The Custellan's Oath. The following is a brief outline of the plot Winceslaus (Mr. Chapman) has usurped the throne of Po- I land, and imprisoned his nephew, the deposed Prince Albert (Mrs. Vining) in the caStle - orZcidiski(llr. T. P. Coke); the Castellan of Lemberg. Albert escapes, and the King visits the Castellan, in order to ascertain that the Prince is in safe keeping. The Castellan is believed to have betrayed his trust, and ordered for execution; at the moment, Albert returns,and preserves his life. A plot has been formed to give the young Prince liberty and his kingdom, and the usurper extorts from the Castellan an " oath" to stab his prisoner if any attempt were made to rescue him. T his oath gives t h e p i ece i ts t i t l e. Adolpha (Mrs. Faucit), the wife of the Castellan, ,enters the dungeon to enable Albert to:escap e , and she is followed by her husband, who hears the a l arm of " !fescue !" and rushes to stab the Prince and fulfil his oath. Adolpha interposes, and wrests the dagger from his hand. The imurgpits break into the dungeon, declare that the tyrant is their prisoner, and pro claim 44 Albert, Poland's g The play then, of course, concludes. There is nothing ;n this piece which distin guishes it from most of the s ame d e scription which • have appeared under the modern designation of Melo-drama. It is, indeed, " among the ordi- ' nary of Nature's sale-work ;" but, to adopt ano ther has no offence great Bard, " the argu mentin it." It is not devoid of expression of our st, and well calcnlated to please the i m n i t x e e re daudien is y w usually attend the Theatre, audience who if it possesses no pretensions for critical acumen, and elaborate examination. It should not, how without cr i t i ca l o b servat i on , as ever, pass wholly it is brought forth at one of the Patent Theatres. The Castellon, is inconsistent. F i of hi m , prev i ous t o hi s a pp ear - a ' t ' l ir c loe e nl , c w i: e liite ll fie v ri e s at r r e rae a c s pt o oe t r : t' to believe that he is an amiable Nobleman, but he is loyal to one whom he knows to be an usurper, an d h as i n hi s k ee pi ng the lawful heir to the Crown, whose life he is vv, yet after some virtuous anxious to preset' struggles, he takes an oath to the usurper to murder that lawful heir, if any attempt should be made to rescue him, or if he should endea vour to escape, and he is actually going to mur der the Prince, and is only prevented by the Countess, who prevents the blow, and struggles with her to effect his purpose. The attachment of the Countess to the Royal prisoner seems to go be yond the limits of mere humanity, and may be supposed to arise from feelings not exactly con sistent with conjugal duty, th oug h s h e avows affection for her husband. The escape of the Prince, his re-capture, his second escape, and his heroic return to save the life of the Count, are among the usual incidents of such compositions. Yet, as we have said, the Piece altogether is not t b e e n c t a e u e s_ m e void of interest, and, as we have also said, we are induced to offer these an i a t remarks merely The performers, particularly of the Pa- T. P. CooKt, ge l m m e s nt. the sanctio n c nApMAN) Donusur, BLANCHARD, and Mrs. FAUCIIT, gave a stron g support to the piece, which during its progress and to its ter mination passed off with the full assent of a very numerous audience. Report assigns it to several , of the usual providers of melo-drame composi tions for both Theatres, but " the election seems to light " Mr. Wm. upon a KER• It was an nounced for repetition on Tuesday next, without , any noticeable opposition. SUN-OFFICE, HALF-PAST Two. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. `We have received by Express from Paris the important intelligence, that the Project of Law for the Reduction of the French ' Rentes has, after all, been rejected by the Chamber of Peers. The Majority against the Ministers was thirty-four. The Rentes, declined in conse quence at Paris to 102 f. being a fall of upwards of 3 per Cent. The defeat of the French Ministry on this important question has excited a considerable sensation in London as well as at Paris. We are of opinion, however, that there will soon be a favourable re-action ; for as all the great ques tions which were likely to affect the peace of Europe may be regarded as disposed of, by the good understanding which at present subsists between the Great Powers, we do not see that the reject of the French Project should injuriously affect the public credit of any coun try but France herself. An immense capital, which was destined to aid the French Ministry in carrying their Financial scheme into execution, is now liberated, and its application to other uses must prove highly beneficial, particularly in the money market of England. CITY, lIALF-PAST ONE o'CLocx. Consols opened this morning at 95, fell, in con sequence of the news from Paris, to 94, but have rallied again, and are now 94t, with an immense deal doing. It is believed that Consols will now steadily advance. FOREIGN MARKET.—A good deal has been also doing in the Foreign Market, particularly ire Austrian and Russian. P 0 E It Y. On tke PORTRAIT of the late LORD BYRON. Painted by RICHARD WESTALL, ESQ. R. A. BY JOHN TAYLOR, ESQ. No wonder, `VESTAL L, that thy skill could trace The mental movements e'en of BYRON'S face ; Thou saw'st the Poet, with h Poet's eye, And hence a Poet's mind could'st well descry, For thou, to graphic genius not confin'd, Can'st boast the pow'rs of a poetic mind 6. In pensive dignity the Bard we see, As if from all unruly passions free, As if not brooding o'er man's vice, but woe, And all the sad vicissitudes below, Ere yet the mark of envy and of hate, That spread a darksome col'ring o'er his fate ; While in life's spring he Nature's beauties found, And saw her blooming roses scatter'd round; By Fortune bade to chuse his onward way, To cleave to Virtue, or with Fancy stray. Then might the mood thy pencil here portrays Have mark'd the tenor of his future days, Then might his mind, as in thy canvass seen, Have kept his temper gentle and serene. Such BYRON was, ere malice, pride, and scorn O'ercast the lustre of his radiant morn, And rous'd a kind, benignant, gen'rous, heart, To point with vengeful spirit, Satire's dart. Else he through life had held a high career, To Virtue's enemies alone severe, - - Else he had always prov'd-her zealous friend, And his chief purpose been a moral end. Still his bold Muse, in all her strains sublime, Secures due homage from admiring Time. And, WESTALL, in thy faithful work we find, His native features, and his pregnant mind. Such BYRON from the hand of NATURE came, 'Humid by GENIUS with its brightest flame. GREECE o'er his urn will shed a grateful tear, And FREEDOM, rescued, consecrate his bier.

THE PRINCE POLIGNAC.—At last the mystery is developed. His Highness left London so sud denly, because he was " going to be married, and could not stay."
