EXPRESS FROM PARIS. We have received by Express the Etoile of yesterday. The following are the only articles w orth extracting : [From Mt Etoik of yearr4ly.] The King heard Mass in his apartments ; after which he gave audience to the Sardinian A mbassador. The King went out, and took an 4 irillg towards Choisy. The Count de Galife, Aide-de-Camp to the Miaister of War, arrived at Perpignan on the might of the 7th and Bth of the month, and set off fo r. Catalonia, after having had an interview with the Baron Rottenbourg, commandant of the division of the Eastern Pyrenees. The Trident, of 74 guns, sailed from Brest on the 15 th inst. for Martinique, with troops. The same day the brig Lancier sailed for the 15razils. Lie ut.-General Count Guilleminot, Ambas -44. to the Porte, is to leave Paris in the pre :lent month, to take his station. 0 l'h lfirst regiment of light infantry is to set off " th e 13th instant, from the garrison of Mont .1, 0 II's ) to Seu Urgel. This regiment is remarkable f°r its excellent discipline. It belongs to the 4th e° rPs of the Army of the Pyrenees, and was the Erst that entered Catalonia. This move "le" is not undertaken with any probability of " r nProuniting the interests of the Spanish Mo narchy. BILIZNE, FED. 10.—The great Council of the Canto n of Berne continued on the sth February the discussion on the project of the Civil Code, and adopted several principal dispositions. French Rentes, on Saturday, 991. 40c. we have received the French Papers of Thurs. day and Friday. The Journal des DAats alludes to the reports lately circulated respecting the supposed intention of the French Ministers to reduce the Five per Cents, into Fours. It has contrived, however, to involve the question in still greater obscurity by its pretended explanation, as the following trans lation o f the whole passage will show : " We have seen many arguments and ankh nonsense in the newspapers respecting the reduction of the Five p er C ents. into Fours, by paying the capital to the Fundholders wh o would not consent to th measure. I t has escaped attention, that to this conversion to take place, it is necessary that the itentea should be not only at par, but much above par, and that the should have maint a i ne d t h at e l evat ion for som e t i me. W e still therefore have ample time before us. Financial ope rations are not things which ought to be done in a hurry, and The country may rely on the wisdom an d p ru d e nce of the Go vernment." The same Journal contains a few additional ob servations on FEILDINA.ND'S Decree allowing a direct trade with South America, the closing °li e of which is highly important, for it contains an assurance, that, whatever may he the effect of C new measure, France will not interfere. This assur ance is thus worded : As to Francn towards ai n in peace the result an - certain of having nobly discharged her duty will wait lie other Powers of Europe, she ditpositions by wi-91 , events, and o, P the reci rocal benevolent are animated. Sheen { all Cabinets without a single exception of her enterprise a has obtains the most 7otritohnyisrtsec.ou.-sicle doubly proves that be nt ba the Spanish Revolutionists of society and the peace of the worhsl.''lY fought for welfarethee j * The Quotidienne an 1..1d appointed \r a M. nounces that FERDINAND Pi.F.z d e l a CADENA. his licister at our Court, and that this new en voy was expected at Bordeaux. It also says that the Duke of SAN CARLOS, the Spanish Am bassador at P aris, was on the eve of repairing to ?-iondon on a secret mission,after which he would munediately return to the French capital. . The foll ow i ng statement in the Etoile is a re vival of an o ld rumour, and as far as Lord BERES.. r °I " ) is concerned, is, we are convinced, entirely without foundation : / nO A TI I Prtin, FED. 11.—Letters from Lisbon of the 4th of this tr__.l,l announce that an expedition is preparing in that port for 441 ; the troops, which are stated at 12,000 men, will be cotnrnanded, it is said, by Lord Bertsforcl.

Proje "stitutlon for the Brazils, which has been cted by the Emperor DON PEDRO, in s :ance of the pur- Pledge given by him when he vio onmtlY dislocated the Monarchy and sent his . cur .'ers to dissolve the Legislative Body. It , is rat l °46 to find, in the project now before us, a dec a -441 that“ all Powers in the Empire of Brazil are delegations from the nation," although this very Constitution,and the powers and authorities which it creates, are emanations from the arbitrary will of the Emperor himself, and, although he so re cently willed and effected the overthrow of a Constitutional System which the nation had sanctioned and recognized. However, as the new Constitution seems to have been framed with a due regard to the rights and liberties of the Brazilian people,—as it provides a Represe►►tative Legislature, consisting of two Chambers,—and as the Emperorhas thus shewn that he does not desire the erection of a despotic throne, we are disposed to believe that his late violent and suspicious proceeding may have been really required by an alarming and imperious necessity. We have received Bayonne Papers to the 15th inst. They contain late intelligence from Spain, which, if correct, is of considerable importance. Frequent quarrels continued to take place be tween the French and Spanish soldiers, even within the streets of Madrid, and it was not without difficulty that the people were prevented from joining in the affrays. The situation of the French was, therefore, becoming every day more precarious, and nothing but the greatest prudence and temper on their part could surmount the dif ficulties and dangers of their situation. The least act of severity or of violence, however jus tified by the aggressions or provocations of those very men whom they were left to protect, would most probably lead to some explosion, like the strong measures taken by Murat in 1808, under circumstances nearly similar. In the provinces the conflicts do not embrace the French, but are confined to the Royalists and Constitutionalists. The latter seem, indeed, to have sufficient rause given them for resorting to arms in defence of themselves and their friends. .At Grenada, two members of the late Cortes, whose only crime was to have belonged to that assembly, were lately sentenced to be banged. On the morning fixed for their execution, however, and at the very moment when they were going to ascend the sca ff o ld, we are told that the people rose, and that, after a contest of some hours, the intended victims were rescued, and enabled to effect their escape. Andalusia and La Mancha were filled with armed bands, which traversed those pro vinces without experiencing any effective resist ance from the Royalists, and in Galicia there were extensive movements of an insurrectionary nature. An extraordinary Courier is said in these Papers to have reached Bayonne with in telligence that the Decree of Amnesty had at length been signed, but that it contained so Want' restrictions, that it would have been as well if it had not been published at all. This we can easily believe, and we have no doubt that if that long-promised Decree be over issued, it will come forth more in the shape of castigation than in that of a boon. WINDSOR, FEES. `.2 0 . —His MAJEsTT has been closely engaged this day on State businesi, read ing and answering dispatches from his Ministers; also in receiving and giving audiences to Foreign Ambassadors, which occupied a considerable time.

C. HERRIES. Whitehall Treasury Chambers, Feb. 16, 1824. KING'S THEATRE. --A fashionable and nu merous audience attended this Theatre on Satur day.—ll Burbiere de Siviglia had the powerful support of GARCIA in the Count. He displays coulddifferent. b reasonably e more ease of as i m d a s n f l o t r e t r e t i l s ta s n o v e w x a p s ec h t t ed a ' dmirable order. D E BEGNIS has little reason to regret that he is removed from Figaro to Burtolo, as his humour renders the latter part equally prominent. Madame VESTRIS was not wanting for spirit in the Countess, but the return of Signora noNzt DE BILGNIS, with her beautiful person, elegant humour, and charming voice, was generally desired. DAVY THE Comrosta.—This able Professor of Music died yesterday, at his lodgings in May's-buildings, St. Martin's-lane. He had long been suffering under infirmities which were of a revolting nature, and disabled him from teaching music, and consequently he was reduced to such distress, as obliged him to levy contributions upon the charity of his friends and connexions. But these incessant calls upon their benevolence at length became tiresome and oppressive. It should be mentioned, to the credit of his landlord, that Mr. DAVY had been permitted to reside in his house for several years gratuitously, and the Hair-dresser in the same Buildings also gave his assistance to render him decent in personal ap pearance. Mr. Davy was certainly a man of real ge nius,science, and taste, and he has given full proofs in his songs, " Just like love"—" May we ne'er want a friend"—" The death of the Smuggler" —" The Bay of Biscay," and particularly in the Melo-drame of "The Blind Boy." He originally turned his attention to music,almost in his child hood, and his talents were afterwards liberally cultivated by the celebrated JACKSON, of Exeter. He is stated to have been 59 years of age, but it is probable that he was much older. UNION-J:IA LL.—( ThiS.DC/j/).-M r. CHAMBERS, on taking his seat this morning at the above office, intimated to the officers, that he understood it was the intention of a female named Mills, whom he had committed for being disorderly, to take his life on her release from prison. Halls, the chief officer, answered, that the prisoner had used such threats, and after her committal a knife was found in her possession, with which she said it was her determination to commit the deed. She failed in her intention during her last examination; was to cause him (Mr. C.) to proceed close to the bar, on which she was to stab him with the knife.—Mr. CHAMBERS said, if he was sure that she intended this, he would cause her to be sent for two years to Brixton. Of course every precaution will be taken to prevent th e c i rcumstance taking place. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

Pun Lie WHlPPlNG.—Yesterday, Thomas .flat was publicly whipped through Leith, pursuant to his sentence by the High Court of Justiciary, for stabbing William Mof fat, wright in Leith, in July last. Hay was removed from Edinburgh jail in a carriage, escorted by Sheriff-officers, and taken to the neighbourhood of his late residence. On attempting to remove him from the carriage he resisted, or at least declined to rise and walk, and in consequence the officers were obliged to take him out by force. He was then placed in a cart, and stript—not at the cart's tail, for he positively refused to become a pedestrian—uttering loud shrieks. After receiving about fifteen stripes, however, he be came more composed, and rece i ve d t h e remainder, quietly. He was led through several of the principal streets, and received N lashes at various places, inflicted by the common executioner. He received the first part of his punishment at the Head of King street, where he formerly lived ; from thence he was driven to the front of the jail, where the Magistrates and constables, &c. were in attendance: He was then taken down the quay, and from thence through several other streets to the bottom of Leith Walk, where the cart stopt, and Hay was again put into the carriage and brought to the jail, to be detained until an oppor tunity occurs off' sending him off to his ultimate destination.— ( Edinburgh Courant, Feb. 19.) FATAL FIGHT.—A young man of the name of Gabriel Hewetson was killed, in a casual fight, at Henley Wood, near Bushey, with a man of the name of Itawlinson, a coachman, on Saturday. The combat was occasioned by a public-house quarrel, when both agreed to go out and fight for a pot of beer. After a fall, in the seventeenth round, Hewet son was carried away senseless, and he died shortly after, from a rupture of one of the vessels on the head.

J. W. CROKER. OLD BAILEY--(Thls DAY.) Upwards of 40 prisoners, the bills against whom had been ignored, were this morning brought up and discharged by proclamation. Mary Webb stood indicted for stealing, on the 27th of January, nine sovereigns, the property of her matter, Henry Beetson, of Essex-place, Mile End-road. The prisoner had only been a month in the employ of the prosecutor, and on the day in question, having missed a sovereign, he asked the prisoner if she had found any mo ney, when she said she had found four sove reigns. An officer was sent for, who searched the prisoner, and found I7s. l Id. in her work-box.

This morning this unfortunate man, who was on Friday last convicted at the Old Bailey of the wilful murder of JAMES RICHARDSON, at i►► the year 1821, underwent the dreadfully ignominious sentence of the law. Since his con ' deranation every effort had been made by the Rev. Mr. COTTON, Ordinary of Newgate, to bring the man to a proper sense of his awful si tuation, and, in a great measure, succeeded in producing a strong feeling of contrition and peni tence ; but tl►is was not fully evinced until after the service in the Chapel yesterday. The wretched culprit seemed to think his was a case of peculiar hardship, but eventually admitted, that having shed blood he ought to die ; at tile same time Observing, he hoped that the for feiture of his existence would be a sufficient atonement for his offences, and during the whole of Sunday he prayed earnestly with the at tendant Clergyman to Almighty God for pardon. His wife,three children,and a brother and sister, took a last farewell of him on Sunday : seemed very much displeased and distressed that they did not employ " a Counsellor, for," said he, 44 if you had, was sure to be acquitted." The fallacious idea was set aside by the attend ants, who pointed out the enormity of his offence, and its unprovoked brutality. At parting, he gave his wife a shilling, observing, " Betsy,. it is all I have." On being left alone, he relapsed into an apparent stupor, and with difficulty was prevailed upon to join in prayer : he seemed la mentably ignorant, and could not be made fully to understand the awful nature of the transition from life to eternity. At twenty minutes to eight o'clock, this morning, Mr. Sheriff LAUP.IE and attendants arrived at the prison, and, in a few minutes, the wretched culprit was introduced into a small room, in the lobby ; he had been previously disenrumbered of his irons ; his de meanour was wretched and dejected in the ex treme; he only spoke one or two sentences, in a low murmuring tone, and these only in answer to questions. Being pinioned, he was led to ti scaffold, and being placed on the drop, was al most instantly launched into eternity, the rope having been previously fixed. MERCANTILE SHIPPING. DEAL, FEB.

This morning our market has received but moderate quantities of Corn from Essex and Kent, and hut little from Suffolk. The fresh supply of Oats is also inconsiderable, so that the market to-day is chiefly composed of the quantities that have remained over from last week. The Flour trade is very dull ; and the quality of Wheat for sale to-day being chiefly damp, our millers purchased very little, and having no demand from the country, the trade has been dull, at Much the same pikes as this day se'nnight. Barley sells on full as good terms as last Monday. There is a fair demand for Beans at the prices last quoted. White Peas sell heavily ; and Grey Pease are Is. to 2s. per quarter cheaper. Oats are abundant, and the buyers holding off; occasions a dull trade, and the prices ate therefore rather lower than last Monday.
