th e British Government to obtain satisfaction,with an assurance that neither the one nor the other should disturb the harmony which prevailed be tween England and the Porte. This communi cation is said to have been take❑ into immediate consideration, and to have been followed by the issuing of orders to the Tunisian Government to Comply with our demand ; to liberate the Greeks who had been taken by force from an English vessel, and to place them at the disposal of the British Consul. We are aware that the DEY Would treat the orders of the Porte with contempt, but for the manner in which they Will be enforced by our gallant cruizers. The issuing of its commands in this affair is there fore no otherwise of importance than as shelving that it is not quite so insane as to exhibit dissatis faction towards the Government of Great Britain, because that Government has felt it necessary to chastise an audacious outrage. In a preceding part of this day's paper we have given some in teresting particulars respecting Greece, and the state of the question between Russia and Turkey. The intelligence from Vienna states that the Austrian Internuttcio has succeeded in once more smoothing the difficulties, and that orders are about to be given for the evacuation of the prin cipalities. brazil Papers and Letters have been received by the Creole frigate to the 26th of November. They present a mass of incidents showing the Go vernment to be in a restless state ; but when it emerge into tranquillity and order, it is difficult to foresee. High official persons are banished to Europe with a stroke of the pen ; and Ministers are incessantly chaaging; all these c ircumstances indicate a crisis, to the termi nation of which we look with some interest.- Ihe facility with which the counter-revolution was effected, and the favourable manner in which it even seems to have been witnessed by the in habitants of Rio de Janeiro, fully justify the apprehensions which we have for some time past expressed as to the insecurity of all the new States of South America. The change effected in the Brazils seems to have been effected, as in Sp a i n and Portugal, through the corruption of th e Military Commanders. we shall be sorry if the news respecting the Capture of Monte Video by the Brazilian troops is confirmed, as a point trappui will thus have been gained for ulterior operations (if any should be undertaken) against same parts of Spanish America. We subjoin a 4letailed account : On the evening of the 10th of November, the city of Rio was thrown into a state of general alarm and confusion, by the arrival at the bar racks of an order from the EMPEROR, for the im. mediate march of the troops to his Quinta, or P alace. The reason circulated on the following M orning for this movement of the troops was, that due EMpEttoß had discovered that his old Prime M inister, JOSE BONIFACIO DI ANDRADE, had be en tampering with the soldiery, and endeaveur `ng to oriag some of them over to his party-au "Planation which was considered probable, as the - Party was possessed of great influence. On the 11th ' the Cortes, alarmed at the EMPEROIesi : rder ) sent a message to h im to learn wh y the -t" P B remained under arms ; but no satisfactory answer was returned, and the members in conse uerlce remained all night in the Assembly - house. u :hen the morning of the Nth broke, anxiety W 43 depicted in the countenance of every one; "cj"d3 were collected in the streets to learn the result ) bat all business was suspended, and the sh°Ps remained closed. About noon, however, 4 bod y of troops marched into the city, 4hd surtounded the house in which the depu ti*s were deliberating, pointing directly towards th e building several field-pieces which they br ought with them. A number of officers then ent ered, dissolved the Cortes in the name of the P ' m eEttoa, and made prisoners of the following I‘l(qn hers:-ANTONIO, CARLOS MARTINS, FRAN CISCO (brother tO BONIFACIO DI ANDRADE),MON TEzUMA, and LAICHA. They were marched across the Palace-square, pet into a boat, and collv eYed to the Ilha des Cobras. Shortly after wards the EMPEROR made his appearance, and ; trade d , through the principal streets. It would t P ) li"r, however, that his proceedings, up to i . Per iod at 'east' were not unpopular with the inhabitaints. He was every where received with a pplause a nd in the evening a general illumina tion look -- Place. JosE BONIFACIO, the member leSpect,, r ' l4 of tampering with the soldiery, had t the house previous to the arrival of the troops, but h e Was arrested in the course of the even )p, the private circles, where men could tl : e i,nttire to express their sentiments, the conduct of ii iL 4-41PEttott was severely censured by the Eng .' re sidents and the more respectable Bra -4,lstsas they feared it wou ld b e p ro ductive of ~ ' u ances in the provinces. On the 14th, an embargo was laid on the shipping in the harbour of Rio, which continued till the 21st, when the Laconia transport, on board of which the six ar rested deputies and their families had been plac ed, sailed with sealed orders not to be opened till her arrival in a certain latitude. As thisyessel had been supplied with provisions for five months, her destination, which was given out to be Havre de Grace, was generally supposed to be some far more distant port ; and some of the conjectures name that of Goa in the East Indies. The de parture of the democratic members was followed by a proclamation from the Minister of Police, affixed in all the public streets, offering a reward of 400 milreas (about 1001.) to any person who would enable him to prosecute to conviction the authors of certain placards reflecting on the recent conduct of the Government ; offering, at the same time, to conceal the names o the informers, and to observe strict secrecy in the prosecution. This proclamation "had struck more alarm into the inhabitants than any other act of the EMPEROR : in a country where for a small bribe persons could be found ready to swear any thing, no one felt himself secure against a secret prosecution. On the day after this proclamation the only public journal which remained in opposition to the 'Go vernment, gave notice that the publication could no longer be continued. It was not till the 25th that the troops arrived from the canton ments at St. Christovas, in which they had been placed by the EMPEROR'S order. Amidst all the events above related, nothing had occur red which could denote to what the future views of the EMPEROR tended ; and the only circum stance which could warrant the suspicion of a secret design to effect a re-union with Portugal, was his having received from the King of FRANCE the grand crosses of the Iloly Ghost and of St. Michael, addressed to him as " Prince Re gent of PoßruciAL," and which decorations, though he had not ventured to 'exhibit them in public, he was understood to have accepted. Intelligence was received at Rio on the 9.211 of November, of the taking of Monte Video by the Brizilian troops. With the letters by the creole, we have re ceived a copy of the financial expose of GANA, the Minister for that department before the re cent change ; but we understand that all his views on that subject have been adopted by his successor. CITY, lizettive o'Clock.—Consols opened this morning at 8911, and got up to 8948, but up to this hour they are 8984 for the Account, and for Money 898, with a Market looking towards a rise.—We do not expect any Expresses from Paris this morning, owing to its being a strict Holiday in that Capital. FOREIGN NlARKET.—Spanish Bonds opened at 241, to 24 . i., at which price they remain steady, with little doing. Most business is doing iu the Mexican. Loan this morning. On Monday Mr. MosttoE, the KING'S Mes senger, arrived at the Foreign Office, Downing street, with dispatches from the Right Hon. Sir CHARLES BAGOT, our Ambassador at St. Peters burgh, from which place he made his journey in less than three weeks. Wednesday Mr. Secretary CANNING transacted business at the Foreign Office. Tuesday a Board of the Lords of the Trea sury was held at the Treasury Office, Whitehall. THE ARTS.—The fine Portrait of HIS MA JESTY, in domestic retirement, painted by Sir THOMAS LAWRENCE, which we noticed some time ago, has been engraved by Mr. TURNER.—It is one of the finest pictures that ever issued from the pencil of that great Artist, and the most correct and animated representation of our august Sovereign which has ever appeared. We are glad that the Portrait was assigned to this Engraver, as no Artist of the present day, in his department, is better qualified to render full justice to the admirable original. GENERAL ROTTEN.—Various false reports had been spread in Switzerland, the native land of ROTTEN, the late Governor of Barcelona, re specting either the conduct of that brave man , when in the Spanish service, or the mode of his reception and treatment in the territory through, which, or the canton in which he intends to re side. A Swiss paper contradicts these reports in the following article .—" It has been said that the General had been conducted like a pri soner through Savoy, that he had brought home with him a considerable fortune, and that he had behaved with great cruelty towards the monks when he commanded in Spain. The very accu rate information of which we are in possession, enables us to refute these reports, and to assure our readers that General Rotten experienced no molestation in his way from Genoa to Sion ; that he was every where treated with the regard due to his rank and merits in the Sardinian states ; that he reached his native country with a trifling sum ; and that, from a feeling of delicacy, he did not even demand the arrears of his pay, which amounted to 80,000 francs of French money. It is equally false that he was guilty of the cruelties ascribed to him, such as ordering monks to be put in sacks and thrown into the sea. So far was he from manifesting a spirit of this kind, that his conduct was generally indulgent ; that he did much good to the poor; that he never evinced any severity, except when urged by duty, and acting Within the limits of Jaw. ;.,..,2 wtw, ~.,,z.5...:-...;_t41-3"- p.._' -: , - .

LAMBTON AND MR. PEMBERTON Upon the subject of the dispute between these Gentle men we have received the following state ments, which we insert most readily : Captain BITRNE, injustice to his friend Mr. PEMBERTON, deem s i t right to contradict, in the most unqual ifi e d manner, the ass ert i on of the Editor of The Durham Chronicle, that he (Capt. R urne) did not approve of Mr. Pemberton ' s re f usa l to accept Mr. L am b ton ' s offer of a meet i ng, an d t h at t h a t re f usa l was contrar— yto his advice. Capt. Blame,' on the contrary, has no hesitation i n stating t h at , i n hi s op i n i on, no man cou ld h ave conducted him se lf with more firmness a nd cooln e ss, or with affair, as far as i t has come under C a p t . .Burne's observation. more propriety, t h an M r . Pemb erton h as th roug h ou t thi s Capt. Burne, at the same time that he acknowledges the cor rectness of the l etters set forth b y C apt. C oc h rane an d Si r H. Williamso n, b egs to correct that part of their statement from which it would appear that Capt. Burne went to Lambton B a ll with the notes, Nos. 1 and 2. Capt. Burns went with the note No. 1; and upon Mr. Larnbton's declining to see Capt. B. until he had s tated his business in writing, he wrote the note \0.2, and enclosed the other in it. This inaccuracy Capt. Borne is well aware must of course arise solely from inad vertence. With respect to the altercation between Mr. Lambton and M r . Pemberton at the Meeting of the Commissioners for the giver W opi arenion., as vi-a Capt. Burne s not present, he can of course no Bishopwearmouth, Jan. 19, 1824. The statement made by the friends of Mr. LAMBTON, and published in the different newspapers, that " at a meeting of the Commissioners of the River Wear on the 7th of January, " some high words passed between Mr. Lambton and Mr. 'l'. " Pemberton, in the course of which Mr. Lambton said, that " if Mr. T. P em bert on was a Gentleman, which he (Mr. " Lambton) doubted, lie (Mr. L.) would give him satisfac " tion," is incorrect. Mr. Lambton said, that " if Mr. Thomas " Pemberton could find a Gentleman to go out with him, which he (Mr. Lambton) much doubted, he (Mr. L.) would give " him satisfaction." That these were the words used by Mr. Lambton, can be proved by most respectable and unexcep tionable testimony. Mr. THOMAS PEMBERTON treats with the contempt they merit the insinuations which Mr. Lambton has thought fit to throw out in justification of his declining a meeting suggested by himself, and he now calls upon Mr. Lambton to substan tiate any thing derogatory to his (Mr. Thomas Pemberton's) character, and which could warrant the course Mr. Lambton has taken in this affair. _ _ Barnes, near Sunderland, 20th Jan. 1824. It thus appears that some credit is due to the writers in The Durham Chronicle for their ingenuity as well as for their activity, although it was pretty evident that there was something in Mr. Larubton's conduct in this affair, which it was difficult to submit to the test of public investigation. It is now explained, and if Mr. Lambton does not, as we presume he cannot, deny Mr. Pemberton's statement, we are at a loss to conceive how he will account for his reply to the message of which Captain Borne was the bearer. Is it to be endured, that any man, whatever may be his rank, shall in a public assembly taunt an indivi dual with an offer to give him satisfaction, if he can prevail upon a gentleman to go out with birn, and that he shall then decline the meeting, and afterwards attempt to retrieve the consequences to himself by offering to accept the challenge ? We submit, without the fear of contradiction, that the in jured party can accept no such offer, and that he receives sufficient satisfaction in the exposure of his adversary's conduct. If Mr. Lambton entertained any doubts of Mr. Pemberton's character, they should have directed his conduct towards him in the first instance. It was too late to allow them to operate, after receiving Mr. Pemberton's challenge. If Mr Lambton doubted Mr. Pemberton's courage, as we have heard he affected, his taunting him with the offer of a meeting was unmanly and dastardly in the extreme. By his reply, we contend that Mr. Lambton must be bound, and that Mr. Pemberton had nothing to do with any alteration in his determination, made at the instance of Mr. Lambton's friends, after that reply had been publicly posted in the News Room at Sunderland ; and we doubt not that the insinuations thrown out against Mr. Pemberton's character by Mr. Lamb ton, standing in the situation he now does, will be received as they deserve by every honourable and unprejudiced mind.

G. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. CAMBRIDGE, JAN. 22.—The Rev. Henry garish, B.A. of Queen's College, was on Friday last elected a foundation Fel low of that society. The subject of the Seatonian Prize Poem for the present year is—ne Death of Absalom. The Rev. Henry William Blake, B.A. Fellow of Corpus Christi College, was on Tuesday last presented, by the Master and Fellows of that Society, to the Rectory of 'Turning, in Norfolk. His Royal Highness the Chancellor of the University has appointed Mr. William Jiggins Yeoman Bedell, in the room of the late Mr. John Laughter:. The Rev. Charles Kingsley, LL.B., has been collated, by the Lord Bishop of Pe..ezhorough, to the Rectory of Barnack, in the county of Northampton, vacant by the death of the Rev. John Lloyd, and in his Lordship's patronage. The Rev. John Henry Steward, B.A. of Trinity College, has been instituted to the vicarage of Swardeston, and to the consolidated rectories of Saxlingham Nethergate and Saxling_ ham Thorpe, Norfolk, vacant by the death of Rev.

John Ousby, late minister of Tavistock Episcopal Chapel, Broad -court, Long Acre, was on Thursday, the 15th inst., elected by the Magistrates for the county of Middlesex, Chaplain of Cold Bath Fields House of Correction, Clerken well, by a majority of 54. There were 15 candidates. KING'S THEATRE. This theatre was opened last night for the re ception of company, Oft a sort of private invita tion, to witness the rehearsal of a new Ballet with which the season is to commence. Though the assemblage was brought together ostensibly as the representativ es of the Manager's private circle, yet certainly, in multitude, and prepara tion, the company partook as much of the cha racter of a public audience, as though the even ing had been included formally in the season.— The stage above presented a variance from the usual appearances of a public performance. The m performers, who were solicited to assume the dra matic costume, but refused, it is understood, obvi ously in consequence of the addition of unnecessar y trouble which it would heap upon them, all op., peered in their ordinary garb. The Ballet is borate g is ht attention outo 1:a k o i t a more a scale, and with a degree of ela to machinery and parade, that promise r r om u e our public amusements than it has hitherto as sumed. The three new appearances—Madame 1 R. I, 7 EsTals, Mademoiselle Leoßos, and Made- Altogether all o f r t i t i l o e i se ti l r i s e t I D o rAdleir"oGf I t B E a N I E i e a t , d r a o n m c far—are e P rs. is there was il harmony and grace of movement i n t h e whole corps, that can rarely be obtained ' amo ngst so large a group of persons between whom differences upon so many points pre vail. The scenery, from the little specimen that was sparingly vouchsafed to our eyes, we presume will be found extremely effective. The House, as it appeared under the brilliant diffu sion of light reflected from the golden embelliJi men ts that were placed every where to the greatest advantage, and showing the rich tints as they were brought out by the relief they gave each other—these, with the Parade of rich attire —and the animation imparted to the whole by he moving of lovely forms, afforded all that. pleasure to the mind which is derived from the contemplation of brilliant variety unalloyed by the sense of confusion. We have already de scribed the changes that have been wrought in the interior. The two most striking objects, and those which doubtless made the largest contri butions to the gorgeous appearance of the House, where the new chandelier depending from the centre of the ceiling, and the drop-curtain.-- The design of the former ornament is worthy of universal admiration. The superior part re sembles a coronet, the feathers falling back in a broad fold. The ring, which is the middle or principal division, is an open circle of vast diameter, connected with the upper part apparently by cha►ns, which are formed of drops of glass closely united, and these are again par tially veiled by deep festoons of the same ma terials. The burners are included within the ring, and are there somewhat capriciously dis posed. The light thus passing through a tapestry of transparent gems, is deprived of its dazzling force, and weakened into a sedate and convenient effect. The classical decorations which occupy the ceiling are displayed to beautiful ad{ a tag , . The drop-curtain is decorated in a manner entirely new, but we think suitable to the dignity of the place. It presents a deep crimson ground, thickly covered with st:;ri and roses in gold, alternately disposed. The border is likf!svise of gold, and is of a depth to exceed its proportion. A short curtain depends from the proscenium of the same ma terial, and ornamented in the same manner, ex cept that it is shadowed very deeply, so as almost to resemble festoons. Among the company pre sent we believe we might be justified in includ ing the whole of the Nobility in town. Rossini, the celebrated composer, was present during a great part of the night, and surveyed from a pri vate box, the brilliant crowd with the interest of one who approaches the time when they will yield a triumph to his exertions. A rehearsal of the new Opera takes place to-morrow, under the superintendance of this composer, and it is in tended that the secresy of the performance shall be in no instance violated. CO UAT OF CHANCERY—(TaIs Diy.) This being the first day of Hilary.

The facts of this case have already fully appeared, and consequently it is only necessary to state that he was found G&Vt;, but judgment was respited. ROBBERY AT DRLTRY-LANE THEATRE.—Ann Wood was indicted for stealing a quantity of lace, the property of R. W. aiston, Esq. ; and Caroline P arley was also indicted for re ceiving the same, knowing it to have been stolen. The facts of this case have also fully appeared in the police reports. Wood was found Not Guilty, and Varley The prisoner was then called up for judgment, and sentenced to 14 days imprisonment in Newgate. John Angus was found Guilty of stealing a quantity of opium, the property of the London Dock Company, and sen tenced to be imprisoned one month, and kept to hard labour. Alderman GARRETT expressed a hope that the next person who should be found guilty of a similar offence would be tran sported, convinced that that alone would put a stop to the com mission of the crime.

MECHANICS' AND A PPRENTICES' LIBRA I We have given a copious detail of the proceed ings at the Public Meeting held in -the Town Hall, on Friday last (see the Resalbitions in TH SUN of Wednesday last), on which occasion this Establishment was taken under public patron age. Whatever prejuuice might have existed, in oe mind of any person, against this Institution, whilst it was under individual management (a prejudice which Mr. Smith seems to have been well aware of), use think that nonce can now be reasonably entertained, after the clear and explicit account which Mr. Smith has given of the infant establishment, and the anxiety and 'readiness he has shown to place it entirely under the public management and controul. The resolution of Mr. Smith to part with his charge was not less a measure of good policy than a proof of a sound judgment. We think the pro ceeding reflects the highest credit on Mr. Smith, to whom the merit of originating the establish m?nt belongs, as well as :in the other members of the Mercury office, for their zeal and persever ance in the support of a measure which, under judicious direction, will, we doubt not, be pro ductive of great and lasting benefit to Society. We would guard ourselves, however, from being thought to advocate any measure which might tend to dislocate the frame of society, by raising any portion of its members above the sphere in which they are usefully and happily employed ; hut we recommend the establishment because we apprehend no such danger, and because we think the measure accords well with the liberal institu tions of the country.—(Liverpool Courier ; Ja nuary 21.) woe
