SOLBM QUIS DICERS FALSUM AUDE.IT LONDON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 22, 1824. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. At a late hour this forenoon we have received the Mode of yesterday and Galignani's Messenger, from which the following are Pxtra c t s ( From the Etoile of Wednesday, Jan. 21.] His Majesty heard Mass in his apartments. Prince Carignan dined with the King and Royal Family : this Prince will soon depart for Turin. There pass daily through Paris convoys o f artillery, on their way to Toulouse. The Gazette of Augeburgh announces that th• Sultan shows great respect to Lord Strangford. An insurrection of the students of Halle has taken place, some of them were arrested by an order of the Minister. A Royal Decree has been issued at the Palace of Madrid, dated the sth January, stating that The King is determined to employ all means in Power to remedy the evils arising from various causes, and to prepare for future great amend- nients : " Spain, naturally fertile and advantageously placed for ,commerce with all nations, ought to be more rich and more aernero_ 7 us in Population. I have resolved to create a Junta, composed of persons zealous for the good of the country, which shall Weald PaY strict attent i on i n regar d to the public t and commerce. This Junta shall also examine all the laws, and prepare every means which may con tr.ibute to augment the territorial produce, and the in_ dustry of the arts, c ommerce, and navigation. They shall also examine if it shall be necessary to establish a general Junta for commerce and Produce from the mines. (Signed ) " BALLESTEROS." L islioN, DEC. 2 8.-Our commerce to the Bra zils has received tho last death blow. Cochrane Las taken seven of our ships. (Prom the Messenger of the 20th of Jan.) To morrow being the anniversary of the death of his late Majesty, a solemn service will be per forated at the church of Notre Dame, and ser vice Will be celebrated in all the other Churches of the capital. The Exchange,Theatres, and pub lic offices will be closed. AG entleman who has just arrived in Town fro m Paris, and who had access to well-informed Political circles, states, that some of the dispatches received by Government from General BOUlt.• MONT contained very unpl easant i ntell i gence, and excited a great sensation. In the last he s tates, that th e long prese n t system of things cannot endur e , and threatens to resign his command, unless a force of thirty tholsand men is in stantly sect to him. • e l!ad only time y esterday, after the arrival of our Express om Paris, to throw out a suspi cion as to the reality of the pretended misunder standing between the French and Spanish Go verunneuts, which was adverted to by the Madrid Correspondent of the Etoile :---." It is thought here by every person (said the writer of the ar ticle), that things cannot remain long in their present state between France and Spain." Is it the intention of France, then, now that she is in possession of the capital and of all the fortresses and sea ports of Spain, to pick a quarrel with her victim, and at once to indemnify herself for the expenses of the conquest, and to gratify her spirit of ambition and aggrandizement, by wresting some provinces from Spain, and permanently incorporating them with the French monarchy ? We have good au thority for asserting, notwithstanding all the pro fessions of the French Ministers to thecontrary„that it was their intention, before the actual commence ment of the war, to indemnify themselves in this way, in the event of their arms being crowned with success. The views which subsequently presented themselves respecting South America may have diverted them from the execution of their original project ; but if it be true that their transatlantic schemes have been relinquished in consequence of the threatening and formidable attitude assumed by the United States, and of the well understood and still more alarm ing intentions of Great Britain, it is not impro bable that they may have resolved on returning to their original design, and of preparing the way for its accomplishment by requiring from FERDI. NAND that he shall accede to measures which , he has not the power to carry into execu tion. France will then say that she has faithfully observed all her promises as to the war under taken for the liberation of the KING, —that she has required from Spain no sacrifices in return for her past services,—that she has contented her self with liberating FERDINAND from his thraldom, and has even generously left him a French army for the consolidation of his authority. She acted disinterestedly as the delegate of Europe, for effecting the great work entrusted to her by the Congress of Verona; and in her triumphant set tlement of a war undertaken for the promotion of European policy, she remembered that every thing was for Europe and for Spain, and that by her conquest she had not gained the right to seize any acquisition for herself! In a new quarrel, however, undertaken wholly in her own c ause and for her ow n purposes, s h e w ill b o ldl y a llege that there can be no reason why she should be equally disinterested an d romant i c as i n t h e cam paign of 1823 !—lt would, to be sure, be the blackest and most unheard of act of baseness and perfidy ever recorded, if France were to take advantage of the deplorable state of helplessness, anarchy, and humiliation, into which her friendship has plunged the Spanish nation ! We da not venture to say that so monstrous an atrocity is really contemplated by her. We only surmise the pos sibility that some such design exists, if there be indeed any foundation , for the allegation of the Madrid writer to the Etoile. It is ridiculous, on any other hy pothesis,to say that matters cannot long remain in their present state between France and Spain, when it is notorious that the latter country as well as her Government and Royal Family, are actually in the custody of a French army, and that France is able to dictate to tier KING every measure that it suits her interest to re quire, and with which he has the means of compliance. On the other hand, the intended march of an additional French force for the Peninsula,—the measures taking to send the Spa nish military away from Madrid, and thus to place the Capital and the King and the Govern ment entirely in the hands of the French,—even the dispatches and demands of General Bowl- MONT, are all calculated to strengthen the suspi cion that some nefarious design is meditated. CITY, Tas o'Clock.—Consols opened at 89, this morning, with some business doing, and a brisk Market ; they soon afterwards rose to 894, at which price they remain steady up to this hour. The Expresses from Paris this morning bring the French Rentos at 95f. 10c. Money— Time 95.30.--Spanish 25. FOREIGN MARKET.-Spanish Bonds opened at 248 z, at which price they remain steady. There is a good deal doing in Russia, Austria, and Mexican Scrip this morning. Mexican Scrip t to 1, Premium. We have received New York Papers to the '2 4t h ultimo. They contain the particulars of the taking of Puerto Cabello by the Colom bians. The city was carried by assault on the Bth of November, in so decisive a style, that nearly the whole of the Spanish troops were kill ed or taken prisoners. CALZADA, the commanding General, was among the latter. Advices from llavannah of the 3d, had brought intelligence that a report was in circulation there, of the surrender of the Castle of St. Juan de Ulloa to the Mexicans, but this account is, we conceive, premature. It appears by Mexican papers of the Sth of Novem ber, received at Philadelphia, that the new Con gress assembled on the preceding day, and was opened by an address from the President of the Supreme Executive Department, to which a reply was made by the President of the Congress. Reports were then submitted from the four branches of administration, in all of which the affairs of the country are represented to he in a flourishing condition. The domestic intelligence of the United States possesses no interest. The report of the administration of the navy had been submitted toCongress, but this document contains little worthy of notice, being chiefly occupied with the arrangement of the United States' squa drons in different parts of the world. The prices of American Stook are quoted as follows :-6 per cent. of 1812, 1021 ; 6 per cent. of 1815, 103 ; per cent., 791. ( From the Boston Paper of the 22d ult.) - - IMPORTANT FROM WASHINGTON, DEC. 15. The most important fact which I can to-day communicate is, that the Committee on Foreign Affairs is summoned by the Chairman, Mr. Forsyth, to meet immediately after the House adjourned this morning. I can do to more than mention this circumstance. On the foregoing, the Association of New York remarks : " We have little doubt, from information obtained from other sources, that the extraordinary call of the Committee is in con sequence of a formal proposition having been made by the Bri tish Government to our Government to unite in defence of the South American States against any efforts of Spain with the Sovereigns called the Holy Alliance." BAYONNE, JAN. 13.—Our accounts from Ma drid of the Bth instant speak of the King's resolution to pre serve all the property of the Inquisition entire, and to entrust the management of it to the Collector-General d'Espolios. This resolution is looked upon as a proof of an intention to re-esta blieh that tribunal on the first favourable opportunity. The King has declared that be will not have the Rertattrador sup pressed. This Journal accordingly loses no time in showing itself worthy of the favour, by composing articles in favour of the counter-revolution. Several of the Archbishops and Bishops who alleged illness, have suddenly recovered their health, and set out on their return to their Dioceses. It is certain that ad ditional French troops are going to enter Madrid, to supply the place of the Spanish troops who are sent away. We learn from Sian Lucar, that Don Santiago Sudeno, formerly Member of the Cortes, and Bishop of —, had died in the hospital of that , town; and that it was with the utmost difficulty that a priest could be procured to afford him the consolations of religion.— They write from Hermitan, that the Royal Volunteers cannot be assembled in the province, because they manifest more and more Constitutional sentiments, and that the Tragala is pub licly sung ; but it must be added, that the country is occupied by the regiments of Algarve and Burgos, which are not very Royalist.—The accounts from Saragossa are not good ; assas sinations, even of the French, continue.—We expect every mo ment the order of the Tribunal of Commerce to sell the cargo of the Minerva, belonging to M. Ouvrard, for the benefit of Messrs. Assiar and Co., to whom he owes a large sum.—lt is more seriously contemplated than ever to commence the great wor ks, which will make this place a fortress of the first rank. What is certain is, that the Guards of the Artillery and Engi neers, who are to be employed on these works, are to receive from this moment an increase of pay on that account. All the mules and horses of the train belonging to the division which remains on our frontiers will be retained by the several corps. D , K AIII OF THE BISHOP OF LITCHFIELD.-- Di") at Richmond, on Tuesday, the 20th universally respected and lamented, JAMES, Earl CoaNwALLts, Bishop of Litchfield and Coventry, and Dean of Durham, in the 81st year of his age. He is succeeded in his title and estates by his only son, JAMES MANN, Viscount BaoME, now Earl CortN'wALLis. By the Hamburgh Mail, via Holland, letters were receiv e d yesterd a y f rom Stockholm, dated the 2d instant. M. d'OuvEntA, late Charge d'Affaires from Portug a l to the Court of Sweden, had unexpectedly ret urned to Stockholm. After ,raiting some week; at Ystad, in expectation of a favourable wind for his passage to Stralsund, he received an orde r f rom his Court not to pro secute his journey to R ome , but to return to Lisbon. M. d'OrAvEntA, consequently, was preparing to embark at Gottenhurgh for Har wich, with the intention of taking his passage for Lisbon by the Falmouth packet. Letters of the 10th inst., received yesterday from Copenhagen, announce the death of M. ROSENCRANZ, Danish Minister for Foreign Af fairs, on the night of the 6th, after only a few days' illness. He had occupied that situation in the Mini s t r y from th e year 1810. The depart ment of Foreign Affairs has been confided ad in terim to Count SCHIMMELMA.N, but Count lkonm, Ambassador at Petersburgh, was intended to be the successor of Count ROSENCRANZ. Should his Excellency, however, of which there was some expectation, decline the office, it would then be conferred on Count EyssEx. The Dutch Papers say that the rumour obtains at Court that his Royal Highness Prince FRE_ nurucx is betrothed to the Princess Fecomucti.A, (laughter of his Majesty the King of Paussti. The anniversary of the decapitation of Louis XVI., was observed yesterday at the French Catholic chapel in London. A solemn High Mass was read, at which all the Priests belonging to the chapel, dressed in splendid vestments, assisted. The chapel was hung with black cloth, and brilliantly illuminated with lamps and wax candles. The chapel was crowded to excess in all parts, and many distinguished characters, both Catholics and Protestants, were present during the ceremony. On the death of Mr. GASCOTNL, on Saturday night last, an express was immediately forwarded with the sad intelligence to the Marquis of Salis bury, at Hatfield House, where he was with the Dowager Marchioness, enjoying the company of a few select friends. The ►neesenger arrived at an early hour on Sunday morning ; when the Marquis and Marchioness being informed of the melancholy news, her Ladyship swooned away and remained in the most distressed state during the whole of the day. On Monday forenoon the Marquis arrived at his house in Park-place, St. James's, where his Lordship was waited on by the solicitor and agent of Mr. Gascoyne ; when he repaired to his house in Great Stanhope street, in order to inspect his private papers, &c. Yesterday the Marchioness, accompanied by the Dowager Marchioness, arrived in town in a very weak state.

FZ TX AT PANIANGER.-At the seat of the Earl Cowper, in Hertfordshire, a juvenile Ball and Supper were given, 'on Monday night, when the new picture gallery was thrown open, it being fitted up for the dance.—At half put eight the visitants began to arrive : at nine the ball was opened with a quadrille, by the younger branches of the Grimston, Burrell, and Cowper families. The intrica cies of " the mazy round" were admirably well performed. Waltzes succeeded, and then country dances. At half-past I!. the supper was announced ; it was set out in the two drawing rooms, on plate and china; there were one hundred and eighty covers. Fruits natural and preserved, appeared on every side, and all kinds of sweet wines. The dancing was quickly re sumed, and kept up with great spirit till four o'clock, when the assembly broke up. All thc avenues to the grounds were brilliant ly lighted up. The Ball-room (i.e. the Gallery) is 90 feet in length by 40 and 28 high. The flooring, which is of the finest oak, the company danced on without its being chalked. The walls were entirely covered with the finest paintings by the old Masters: they wereilluminated by three magn ificent buhl chandeliers, a la antique.—There were present 206 Fashionables, among whom were the RuSPiaR Altbassador and his Lady, the Marquis and M arc hioness brSalisb ury, Lord and Lady Gwydyr, Mr. and Mrs. (1.

" Sin—Perceiving in your Paper, which has been handed to me, that I am mentioned as the Editor of the John Bull news paper, in an account of my arrest by Government for an alleg ed debt, I have to request that you will immediately contra dict the statement, as I neither am, nor ever was, the Editor of that or any other newspaper whatever.—l am, &c.

The portraits are accurate and spirited, and though, we under stand, they were painted for private individuals, we hope that they will be assigned to an en graver capable of doing justice to the original works. SIIERIFF'S COURT—('fins Dix.) READ V. MARTIN. This was an action for the Jury to assess the damages, for rent and dilapidat! ' Mr. AnoLeuus stated the case.—The defen dant, Martin, had had a lease of a house` n Pickett-street, Strand, now turned intd -the Weekly Globe Newspaper Office, the covenant of which ran, that he should amend, cleanse, aild so forth, instead of which, on his leaving it; it was in a dilapidated state, so much so as to re quire to put it in even tenantable repair,'a sum which, in addition to the standing rent, made the amount 1251., which besought to recover at their hands. 111 r. Henry King deposed, he examined the house on the .23d March, 1823, the day after it had been left; the dilapidatiOns that had accrued were from wilful and gross neglect ; 25/. would be the least sum that would reinstate the fixtures car ried away. There were many other dilapidations which were indispensably requisite to be done, the windows were much broken, and the bill-stickers had covered the exterior of the shutters. Cross-examined by Mr. C. LAW, Counsel for the defendant. —Witness does not know when he first went there ; never knew of any notice being given, non e was g i ven ; cannot swear the dilapidations took place during the defendant's tenantry ; there were many fixtures in the house. By the COURT.—Went to make the survey four days after the term expired; knows the defendant, he is a solicitor in Lamb's Conduit-street ; the rent is 791. Mr. LAW, in his address to the Jury, contended that the terms of the record had not been satisfied ; both the Attorney and :Special Pleader had vitiated the point of their own cause. The lease required expressly, that upon leaving the pre. miles, in the event of any dilapidations having accrued, three months' notice should be given by the landlord for their reparation—this he apprehended did away any thing with regard to the claim for dilapidation, and he conceived the Jury would have to banish it from their minds entirely..._. With regard to the rent, they had, by suffering judgment to be taken by default, acknowledged something was due; but in this he would prove by witness, that the plaintiff agreed to accept some valuable fixture s an d to deduct their amount of value from the rent, which paper he would produce, and call a witness to prove it.—Here Mr. Law called a witness to iden tify the hand-writing. Mr. ADOLPHUS observed the only way an instrument could be proved was by the subscribing party, who was dead. This was held sufficient to invalidate the instrument. Mr. George Chew, surveyor, saw the premises i n th e occupation of the defendant, and made an estimate of the fixtures, value 531. 153. At the quitting of the pre_. mises he would deduct 101. from their value. A consi derable sum had been expended on the premises before the underletting ; 21. would have repaired the glass ; during this time Mr. Liromall called from Mr. Read, and asked if he had any of Martin's concerns to settle, and was answered In • the affirmative; he said the fixtures had been abandoned when, they key was given up. Cross-examined by Mr. A DOLPHIJ S.—. The incoming tenant did not purchase them ; he (witness) would give 30/. for than himself; the window-frames were not broken, nor were the dilapidations much. S. Pike, surveyor, corroborated the last witness's testimony. R. Kennedy was in Martin's kitchen at a time when Read called to demand his rent; he said he would agree to deduct the amount of fixtures, and take it at 10/. per month. Mr. Law here again called the attention of the Court to the clause in the lease. The COURT feared it could not travel out of its regular routine of law, moreover as the liability to repair was admitted. Mr. Law contended Mr. Read was the author of his own 31i: ADOLPHUS ingeniously replied. The SHERIFF addressed the Jury, and told them it was for their consideration if a set-off could be allowed. The Jury gave a verdict for plaintiff—Da mages 1041. OLD BAILEY-(Tim DAY.) Joseph Nash, a dealer in marine stores, was put to the bar on an indictment charging him with • receiving ono brass piece of ordnance, the pro: perty of Capt. John Marsh a ll, o f El stree , Herts.,' well knowing the same to have been stolen ; and Sarah Nash alias Lloyd was also put to' the hai on an indictment charging her separately witt,i. also receiving four pieces of a similar description' under the same circumstances. Th 9 loss of the property having been proved,,; John Low, a fellow of the worst description, was called, and detailed the actual stealing of it by himself. In his cross-examination he admitted having a guilty knowledge of at least twenty rob beries during the past year, and, in fact, did not appear to be the least affected by the c o nfession... , The property having been identified, the.. COMMON SERJEANT SUMined up the evidence tot the Jury, and put it to them to say whether the ,, . unsupported evidence of such a profligate cha-' - meter would warrant them in finding them guilty, particularly after what they had heard. The Jury immediately found both prisoners —Not MERCANTILE SHIPPING. DEAL, JAN. 21.—Wind S.W. to W.—The Hon.
