Posing upon herself any shackles by professions of disinterestedness similar to those which pre ceded the last campaign. We should then hear it boldly avowed that the tranquillity of France could not be maintained without the permanent acquisition of a solid territorial guarantee on her southern frontier, and that the in terests and security of the French Monarchy ren dered it indispensable that Spain should be for ever rendered incapable of giving it further in quietude. If any such project is really in ern hiyo, it will account for the indifference which the Cabinet of Paris is now said to feel with respect to the South American question. The Earl of LIVERPOOL, the LORD PRESIDENT, th e LORD PRIVY SEAL, Mr. CANNING, and Mr. ROBINSON, leave town to-morrow to attend his tIAJEsTy at Brighton, and to hold a Council e!ere preparatory to the opening of Parliament. 'ITT', Twelve o'Clocic.—Consols opened this reaming at 91 to - 91i, and 90:11i for Money, with little doing, as the Bank remains shut, and no lr 'lon:q transfers can be made. Ido not hear, up TL ,I hour, of any Express having arrived from l'zris, which causes the Market to remain steady, 'tithout any fluctuation of consequence. FOREIGN MARKET.—The most doing this r vriling is in the Mexican Loan, which is chiefly `a.ir.f.orted by certain Brokers sent into the "‘laiket to buy it up, and keep it from falling.- I Lt Spanish Bonds there is but little doing; they cu e d at 24Pa. Charleston and New Brunswick Papers, the 41 rst to the 25th December, and the latter to the 17 th November, arrived this morning : they do I lot contain any news worth extracting. At the time of writing the article in our Paper of yesterday, we were not aware that the case of l iAlwx s v. WATSON, referred to in the Protest of t he Merchants against the London Dock Corn kny, had been re-argued and finally decided in t he Court of King's Bench. The case (of which We sh a ll give a correct report to-morrow) was Precisely that of the London Dock Company, as tlie d e fendant, a wharfinger, had adopted their course of proceeding. The Judges unanimously ag re ed that the certificate of transfer put an end to the case ; the holders, therefore, of such cer t.fi.cates must be guaranteed by the parties is %ning them. As far as past transactions go, the A terchants have obtained that justice which we were confident they were entitled to ; but, as to t he future, we fear that matters are in a worse Il lte than ever. The London Dock Compa ny, 4 ''d the Wharfingers who hare followed their P otable example, having burnt their fingers, will, of Course, discontinue giving any documents \ j il ich will secure the buyers of merchandize; " (je ed ) we l e arn that the former have already ,e so, and that the Merchants, considering the eter irlination of the London Dock Directors not to (14regard 46 the important privilege of stopping '' 3e ds in transitu," as stated in their published t :, li "te, ar e about to adopt further measures.— ' Pe decision of the Judges in the case of Hawcs k ill, we when applied to the London Docks, 4 Pprehend, render the Company doubly Ist, to the unpaid vendor of the goo d s , wh o: , 'e right of stopping in transitu they recognized, 4rld h 4nd h a ve decl are d th e i r d eterm i nat i on to regar d ; ce 2 d, to the b on a fide purchaser, to whom th e y rt ifted that they had transferred them. 0f HE COURIER.-The ORIGINAL PROPRIETORS t his,i Journal, we understand, have totally 4ic,hdrawn from the concern, on account, it is !

DUCHY OF LANCASTER COURT, WESTMINSTER, Before Lord BEXLEY, Mr. Justice BAY LEY and Mr. Justice HOLROYD, as Assessors. This was an appeal made by Mr. Clement, the proprietor of The Observer, against a fine of 5001. imposed on him, for having published in that Paper the proceedings against Thistlewood, Ings, and the rest of the Cato-street conspirators, while the trials were yet pending, contrary to an express order made by the Lord Chief Justice Abbott. Mr. DEN MAN, on behalf of the appellant, me morialized the Court for a postponement of the cause, on an affidavit, stating Mr. Clement's anxiety to have retained Mr. Scarlett as one of his Counsel, but which he did not know that he could do till within 24 hours past, it being ex pected that Mr. Scarlett, being the Attorney- General for the Duchy, would be retained on the other side. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, that on the part of the Crown he wished the fullest investi- gation, and therefore should not oppose the motion. The Court, after a short consultation, agreed to postpone the case till the 13th of February. Mr. BROUGHAM, Mr. DENMAN, and Mr. PLATT, were retained for the appellant. SPRING CIRCUITS, 1824.

Murhardt, known as one of the liberal German writers, and the correspondent in this city of several French and German Journals, has for a considerable time attracted the attention of the Diet. The publication of some of the acts of that Assembly in French Journals, which none of the Deputies can publish without a violation of his duty, caused iu the beginning the late Minis ter for Wurtemburg to be suspected. The latter demanded a strict investigation, and on this Mr. Murhardt appealed to the deceased Hessian Mi nister, Von Hornier, with whom he never had any connection. This and other things have in duced the Diet to resolve on the proposal of Austria, to prohibit Mr. Murhardt from residing at Frankfort. After various negociatious during the period of six months, last Saturday, the ut most time allowed to M. Murhardt, expired, and he was obliged to leave the city on Sunday. his intention was to go through the Bavarian domi- "ions. Though he is a subject of the Elector of Hesse, and well known as a distinguished partisan of the late French Westphalian Government, and though he has had a great share in the very vio lent writings of the purchasers of Westphalian domains, he ventured to appear publicly at Hanau, where he was, however, immediately ar rested. In the following night his papers were seized. The reason assigned by the Hessian Government is the suspicion under which he lies of a secret connection with one Ketch, who is also an object of suspicion to the Hessian Govern ment. This Ketch has lived a long time in Ame rica, and sometime ago being at Mentz, expressed himself very freely on political subjects, in the presence of two Members of the Central Com mittee, on which account he received a very serious reprimand. COUNT STAGPOOLE.--A near relation of this gentleman, accompanied by his brother-in-law, and a French Advocate are now in London, as supposed, for the purpose of obtaining evidence on the suit pending against the Count in the Court of Appeal at Paris. ! The great Protestant Union of Southwark, con ! ' sisting of the most distinguished Divines and learned men in England, have unanimously elect ed Sir HARcoURT LEES, Bart., an Honorary Mem ber of that Constitutional Body, and have di rected their Secretary to write to this eminent Protestant Advocate, requesting him to corre spond with the Society, in order to enable them, in the most effectual manner, to succeed in their ultimate views. —( Dublin Corre4pondent, Jan. 27.) SUDDEN DEATIL-Mr. SAMONDA, of Finshnry square, Merchant, a gentleman of the greatest respectability, died this morning at six o'clock, in consequence of a fit, at his own house, after having given a Ball to his numerous and respect able friends. Some People remark " it never rains but it pours," which may not inappropriately be ap plied to the late Rise in the Funds, for ever since Mr. SIVEWKIGHT contracted for this Lottery (a Moiety of the Prizes in which are STOCK, the other MoNEy), the Price has rapidly and pro gressively risen upwards of Nine per Gent., and many think Stock will, ere long, fetch more in the market than the same Nominal Sum of Money, but even at the present Value there has accu mulated about 1 1 10,000, which will be gained by the Holders of Tickets and Shares, in addition to the SEVEN R 20,000, &c. originally allotted for the Scheme,—no wonder, therefore the sale of this Lottery is uncommonly brisk, especially as the Drawing is so near, and the Two First Prizes will each have £20,000 Sterling extra. THE KING. BRIGHTON, JAN. 29.—1 have the happiness to inform you that the KING continues gradually to recover.

Mr. Jorix BARNES, the worthy proprietor of this beautiful retreat, entertained a very select party of his neighbours and town friends with a Concert and Ball ; all the first Singers and Performers from the Italian Opera attended, and to shew that Mr. Barnes was determined that no sources of interest should be withheld from his friends, they had the gratification of hear ing that Juvenile prodigee, Master George Aspull, perform various pieces on the Pianoforte, to the delight and astonish ment of the whole party, a greater instance of approbation could not be given than the warm embrace which the lovely Signor De Begnis gave this wonder of musical talent and com bination upon the conclusion of his performance. At the con clusion Of this Musical Feast, the party of 120 partook of a splendid Supper, provided by Gunter, consisting of every deli cacy, w i t h a profusion of Champaigne and other excellent w ines. The sl ow -p ace d b u t e l e gant Qu a d r ill e followed, which was kept up till five in the morning, and finished with two Scotch Keels most admirably executed by a party free north 0' Tweed.' The party (now very little reduced from its origi nal number) sat down to an elegant and comfortable breakfast, which concluded this happy little party. ENGLISH FESTIVITIES AT GENOA. GENOA, 3AN. 16.—This place has been the scene of tin- English vi s i tors. U pwar d s of twenty distinguished families gaiety this winter owing to the in creas in g nu mber of have a made Genoa their residence since the month of Sep. tember, and we are every day witnessing fresh arrivals. The Countess of Westmoreland and suite arrived last night at the Ho el de Londres and early this morning her Lady s hip, accom panied by Mr. Charles Barry and Mr. J. Lavers, proceeded to Albaro, one of our most beautiful suburbs, to inspect the Villa lately o ccup i e d by L or d B yron. Her Ladyship was so much delighted with its appearance, that she immediately engaged it for three months, to the great delight of all her coun trymen here, who have already benefited by her generous and liberal disposition. —Th e Consul, James Stirling, Esq. opened the festivities of the season by a splendid ball on the Ist of January, which Ras a ttended by b was o tined b the Honourable Y no le ss th an 400 persons o f rank Captain Edward Augustus F rankland p , R.N., the nephew of y Lord Colville, and Miss Fielding, d aughter of Lady Elizabeth Fielding, and niece of the Marchion ess o f Lansdown • next , followed the Marquis de Bo yle, Aide-de-Camp t o th e ' King, and the Countess Durazzo, who vi es i n b eauty with the most • a r n y d , e minent of our British Belles. Nothing could exceed the polite attentions of our Consul and his Lady to their nu merous guests, who did not leave the Palazzo Spincla till a very late hour. Sir Thomas Maryon Wilson, Baronet, of Charlton, in Kent, has since given a brilliant fete, to not only the English, but the Genoese Nobility were Mrs. °met, Mrs. Paoli, Mr. Saunders, and Mr. .I'Jr::4lt+.l , have also given very handsome entertainments, in whicll tion of Rossini's and Mercadante's music mare tart of the amusement of the evening. The news brought ves'' . . , .•• !sy. by express, of the death of Victor Emmannl, brs;! ..- .er cc King, and formerly himself Ring of Sardinia, will to our gaieties for sonic time. The Got'uncs-, 4 ','7?!" - .? d'Yennes, has ordered all the Theatres to be requested the English visitors, in t'3 ias~lnaunr, no more invit a ti ons for bails till the p7.easure of GTlit is known as to the duration of the 'mourning. Mc Cc:nsul and the chief B r iti s h residents left their cares this morning at the Governor's as n mark of respect. He is very popular here, and allows us privileges of which no other foreign nation can boast.' ATIIENEUM ASSEXIIILIEL-Last night the Con cert-room at the King's Theatre, was opened for the first of a series of French entertainments, which are t o consist of small dramatic pieces.— ' The room has been well fitted up for this pur pose, but the narrowness and scope of the boxes renders them inconvenient; and we hope that some means will be found to remedy the only defect we could discover. In every other respect great credit is due to the Gentlemen through whose indefatigable ex ertions this establishment has been open e d.__ The performers were respectable hi their re spective lines. The songs were mostly beautiful, and well executed, and a select orchestra, acting under the direction of SPAGNOLETTI and BoonsA, added to the treat which the whole performance afforded to the lover of the French Drama. "Upon the whole, we were highly pleased with our evenings entertainment. A new drama, entitled The.fier,:fiird Tragedy, was brought forward on Monday last at the Exeter Theatre. The house was crowded at an early hour, and some disapprobation was ex pressed at the beginning of the piece, but on the Manager's having assured the audience that it was not that which was thought to have preju diced the late trial, and was intended only to warn youth against the vice of gaming, which commences in avarice and ends in crime, and was found in its progress to be moral in tendency, and that " the argument had no offence in it," it was suffered to proceed, and was throughout received with full approbation.—An accident occurred which was likely to be attended with danger, but no injurious consequence resulted. The person who drove the memorable gig pulled the wrong rein, and backed it into the pit. The auditors who were near scaled their way to the stage and the boxes in due time, and the alarm soon subsided. Mrs. BARTLEy has been allowed by the Co vent-Garden Managers to perform a few nights at Exeter, where she is to appear on Monday in the part of Isabella. POETRY.

At the Meeting of the Royal Irish Academy, Jan. 26, Dr. BRINKLEY communicated the Elements of the Orbit of the Comet, from observations made at the Obse:vatory of Trinity College, Dublin. Perihelion distance, 0,2640, the Earth's mean feom the Sun being Unity. Time of passage through Perihelion. December &h-13h. 7m. 48s. mean time at Obser,-;itoi-7, 75d. 47m. 30s. Ascending node, 302 d. 51m. 40s. Perihelion, 269 30m. 30s. . Aloti.m, retrograde. It dues not appear that this comet has been recorded to have been Wiserve.i before. The comet of 1677 nearly agrees as to its perheliou distance, and the inclination of its orbit, but not as to its other eloments. At this time (January 26) the comet is distant from us about tbrty-five millions of miles, and is now somewhat nearer than it has yet been, but on ac count of its greater distance from the Sun its light has become much weakened. Its. distance from the Earth will now in crease, and its distance from the Sun continuing to increase, both circumstances will soon render the Comet difficult to he seen.—(Dublin Correspondent, Jan. 27.)

TRAVELLING WITHOUT HORSE 3. TO THE EDITOR. Sta—On my return from Barnstaple to Lon. don yesterday, I met on the road a newly in vented mechanical carriage, travelling without horses at the same rate as the mail, and carrying two persons, one of which propelled it in a very easy manner. I was induced from the novelty of the machine, and the ease with which it tra velled up hill, to inquire the inventor's name, and was informed it was a foreigner, who was driving it for a considerable wager to London. It ar rived at Hammersmith at five o'clock this morn ing, gaining the wager. It will be in London to-morrow. A. V. Charing-cross Coffee-house, Jan. 29, 1824. THE ARMY. Detachments belonging to the 89th and 54th Regiments of Infantry marched yesterday from the Isle of Wight for Chatham, to embark for India. Detachments' be longing to the 46th, 41st, and 30th Regiments of Foot, was to march to-day from Portsmouth to Chatham, for the purpose of embarking for Madras. ARMY IN INDIA. • (From the Calcutta Papers of July 1823.) We are given to understand that a. NEW Pito vlNclAL BATTALION is about to be formed at Balasore for the CIVIL ntsTlEs of the Midnapore and Cuttack Districts, and on a large scale. Th e Ch i ttagong and the Burdwan Batta lions may also be considered vacant, with the European Inva lids, and the 2d Battalion . of Native Invalids at Chunar. These commands, which we believe must be filled by Invalid Field Officers, now offer many comfortable and handsome retirements to officers whose health and long services render a less active si tuation desirable. As they all partake of the off-reckonings with other advantages, they must be enviable posts to officers worn out by former service and exposure, or who hare suffered by wounds in action. In applications for such appointments, we apprehend the preference is uniformly given to officers of the rank of Lieut.-Colonel; and under the arrangements in progress, a more acceptable appointment could not, we pre stne, be presented to their acceptance.
