ANOTIIEtt REPO RT.--That the - Holy Allies are about to unite their force for the re-conquest of South America. Will Great Britain yet stand aloof ? We are arriving at a singular crisis. The principles of free and legitimate Government may come to a more rapid and fearful issue than may have hitherto bef_!!! calculated. The United States of Americ•a may form the great bulwark against the immediate encroachments of the Legi- limate. It becomes us then to be on the alert, and to place at the helm of affairs a man who is strong in his determination, yet cool in his mea sures.—Cßich,mond Enquirer.) .131tAzu.s.—Our latest political advices from Rio Janeiro state, that the project of a Consti tution was under discussion in the Cortes. It recognizes the right of Trial by Jury, Inviola bility of Person and Property, Toleration of Re ligious Opinions, and Freedom of the Press. [Extract of a Letter from Bahia, Oct. 1.1 With some slight exceptions our city is tranquil. A Com mander in Chief, appointed by the Emperor, has been sent back to Rio Janeiro, tile troops refusing to acknowledge him : since which, General Lima, who was appointed to the corn. mind, having resigned, the command of the army has been assumed by the Provisional Junta. 'We are promised a visit from the Emperor, a measure which at this moment would be very politic, and might serve to unite his subjects, and attach them more firmly to his person." IN SENATE, DEC. 10.—Resolved, That the President of the United States be requested to communicate to this House copies of such parts of the correspondence of the late Minister of the United States at the Court of France with the French Government, and such parts of the correspondence of said Minister with the Secretary of State, relative to the claims of citizens of the United States, for spoliations upon our lawful commerce, as in the opinion of the President may no t be inconsistent with public interest. This is the second day there has not been a single Mail from the Continent. It is with the deepest shame for the character of a certain class of our working population, that we have to state, that the diabolical system of throwing vitriol upon the objects of their revenge is again revived in nll its atrocity. O n 'Wednesday evening last, while a young man was going home, a little before six o'clock, he observed five men standing upon the public footpath, at the foot of the lane called the Witch lean, opposite to the Gallowgate Toll Bar; and when he came up to them, one of them, without saying a word, dis charged a can of vitriol at his face, hut which, providentially missing its aim, showered upon his hat, and burned it to a cinder. Another of them discharged a can at his body, which took effect upon his side, when they all ran off up the lane, in the direction of Duke -street, and have not yet been discovered. The young man was fortunately near his fa ther's home, whither he ran with all his speed, and by means of shifting his clothes, and dashing w a t er on hi s person, h e escaped without much injury. Had the monsters, however, succeeded in their hellish purpose, he would either have been murdered, or rendered for life an object more horrible than death. The young man is in no way connected with the cotton manufactories of the city or suburbs, either by himself or through his relations ; and as this dreadful system has had its origin in these establishments, and has hitherto been confined to them, it is supposed that the villains have mistaken their victim. This is the more likely, from the fact, which is now perfectly well known, that to escape being identified, strangers are generally employed by the real conspirators to perpetrate this savage crime, and these are left to discover the unhappy individuals by a general description of his person.-- We will not, at present, point out what greater vigour should be given to the law to enable the Magistracy to put a stop to a system that carries more terror and destruction along with it than any that has ever been heard of in civilized society ; but We may mention one thing, which the public in general, and particularly the population of the suburbs, owe to the Magis tracy and to themselses, which is strongly illustrated in this instance. The employment of strangers to commit the crime exposes every individual who may live in the neighbourhood to the same risk as the person - whois marked out for vengeance, and, if their horror at the system will not rouse them into a bold and active search after the conspirators, we trust that the fear of individual destruction will now induce them to lend a more efEcient aid to the Magistracy in the way of information than they have hitherto done.—( Glasgow Courier, Dec. 30.) Yesterday his Excellency Baron WEATHER, ""Y Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten tiary of his Majesty the King of PRUSSIA, jointly With M r- N. M. RorHscuun, and accompanied by Mr. GREEN, Notary Public, cancelled and deposited in the Bank of England the amount of 18 ,000/• in special bonds, negociated by Mr. M• ROTHSCHILD, in 18.22, being the second half of the sum fixed for the redemption of bonds in the first year, and also the saving of the in terest on the 17,5001. in special bonds redeemed on the Ist of July last. The Duke of BELLUNO is said to persist in his resolution, not to proceed to Vienna s!iorn of his title ; and the Emperor of AUSTRIA IS understood to be no less obstinate in his determination not to receive a Minister, bearing a title borrowed from a part of his dominions. In this difficulty the King of FRANCE has in vain addressed a sup plicatory fetter to the Duke. who is probably xiot rendered the less willing to postpone his assent to the journey by the reflection, that his presence in France produces considerable embar rassment to those who have displaced him. The Duke of DaroN,annE has at length re solved, that the town of Wetherby is to be re-huilt, and that oporations are to commence early in the ensuing spring; the bridge too is to b e improved and widened. These, and the pro icted new road from thence, bid fair to raise i lat town to a d egree of importance, which, Judging, from its present dilapidated state, few ould a short time ago have been sanguine enough to anticipate. Lord SoNDES last week distributed to the poor of the parishes of Great Easton, Caldecott, Cot tihngham, Middl eton, Stoke, and Wilbarston, tile munificent Christmas present of seven bul locks; and five tons of coal have been presented to the poor of Caldecott.

In consequence, the following distinguished personages, with their sons and daughters, began to alight from their carriages soon after eight o'clock, and who are now within the radiatt limits of the Palace, viz. :—The children of the Duke and Duchess of Bedford (their Graces were included in the invitation, but are absent; a similar cause induces us to mention the absence of Lord Arden and Miss Percival.)

Again the royal suite of state apartments are splendidly illuminated, :old a species of joyous commotion gives a pleasing character to the vicinity of the Steyne.—The Duke of Clarence was often parading on the brick pavement of the Steyne to-day, though the weather has been damp and squally, and repulsive to out-door exercise. The Duchess of Clarence did not take her usual carriage air ing. Their Royal Highnesses, with the Earl and Countess of Errol, will take leave of his Majesty, and return to Bushey Park to-morrow. The Duke of Dorset will take leave, and depart for town. FASHIONABLE • ARRIVALS.

If Captain PARRY complains of the cold at the North Pole, and of the frigidity of a certain part of the Brown family, (not Miss Brown), he cannot complain of the coldness of Hampshire,—for we certainly may say that we have made it a torrid zone of civility and kindness to him. It having been announced that a public dinner would be given to him on last Wednesday, the stewards of which wer e th e Dukes of Welling ton and Buckingham, the Mayor of Winchester, and the Mem bers for the county of Hants and the city of Winchester, a most respectable and numerous party, sat down at St. John's House, at half-past five o'clock : All seemed to vie in endeavours to promote the harmony and conviviality of the meeting. The Gentlemen did not sit late, as they had intended that the Ladies should have a ball at the George in the evening, —that they might shew their sense of Captain Parry's endeavours to serve his country : It is said that " none but the brave deserve the Fair ;" and when Englishmen shew their bravery, I think no one can say that the British Fair do not reward them : So it was on this evening, for the ball-room at the George was crowded quite to an overflow,—all the rank, beauty, and fashion, of the city and neighbourhood, were there. Captain Parry danced several country-dances ; and the Ladies whom he I selected for his partners are not a little proud of it. Dancing was kept up with great spirit till a late hour. Among the company at the dinner or ball, were the Duke of Buckingham, Marquis of Chandos, the Earl of Northesk, Lord Rodney, Sir Thomas Baring. Sir H. Rivers, &c. &c., and parts of their families.— The dinner did great credit to Starling; and the accommoda tions at the George, to Mrs. Ashcomhe. Yesterday being the first of the amateur concerts, it was w i s h e d th at Captain Parry might have attended, but we believe he was called away from Stoke a.little hastily. Dr. Chard, and the amateurs also, lost many auditors in consequence of a grand ball given by Mr. Alexander Baring at the Grange ; but yet it was supposed that nearly 400 persons were present, who were all highly delighted. —Would you believe it, that the orchestra consisted of twenty seven performers, vocal and instrumental —the whole conducted by Dr. Chard ? The music selected was from Cimarosa, Haydn, Mozart, Ditters, Winter, and Danby. The inhabitants of the city and nei,ghbourhood feel much obli ge d to D r . Ch ar d , and the other Gentlernen, for their kindness in promoting the harmony of this season of the year. After the concert, the evening concluded with a ball; and although many had kept it up on the " light fantastic toe" the evening betere, the com pany did not separate till a large encroachment had been made on this morning. The Duchess of ANGOU LEME is said to have ac quired much popularity, during her late journey in the south of France, in consequence of the impartiality of her conduct when she came in contact with the opposite parties of Ultras and Constitutionalists. On the occasion of an entertainment given to her by a considerable town, the Mayor thought to please her Royal Highness by proposing to exclude from the company Colonel Sebastiani, the brother of the G ener a and De puty of the same n a m e . A Paris paper (the Journal du Corn rneree)giyes the following as the answer of the Duchess : " How could you suppose that I should be offend e d by having beside me an o fficer to whom the King had intrusted a regiment. I will not sit down to table until the Colonel arrives." POETRY - . On the FANCY GAZETTE.

AMEN CORNER. A MOTHER'S LOVE. Her, by her smile, how soon the stranger knows ; How soon, by his, the glad discovery slims, As to her lips she lifts the lovely boy! What answering looks of sympathy and joy ! He walks, he speaks in many a broken word ; His wants, his wishes; and his griefs are heard : And ever, ever to her lap he flies, When rosy sleep comes on with soft surprise. Lock'd in her arms. his arms across her flung, (That name most dear for ever on his tongue), As with soft accents round her neck he clin g s, And, cheek to cheek, her lulling song she sings. How blest to feel the beatings of his heart, Breathe his sweet breath, and kiss for kiss impart; Watch o'er his slumbers like the brooding dove, And, if she can, exhaust a Mother's love ! Sandwich, Jan. 2, 1824. E. S. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENGE. OXFORD, JAN. 2.—The Lord Bishop of Gloucester has presented the Rev. J. Davies, A. 8., Curate of Cheltenham, to the Vicarage of Pauntley,.and the Perpetual Curacy of Uplea don, Gloucestershire.—The Rev. Richard Waldy, A.M. Do mestic Chaplain to the late Right Hon. Dowager Lady Vernon, to the Rectory of Turnt .'s Puddle, and Vicarage of AtEspuddle, Dorset; patron, James Frampton, Esq.—The Lord Bishop of Killaloe has been pleased to collate the Rev. Cuthbert Fether son to the living of Killodiernan, in his Lordship's diocese, vacant by the resignation of the Rev. Mr. Mant, who has been promoted in the diocese of Down. Last Tuesday week, Jolts; FLEeerreo, Esq. M.P., held his annual Rent end Tithe Audit, at Stoneham, when to his nu merous and respectable Tenantry he ma d e a general abate ment of twenty per cent. He atterwards presided at a sump tuous dinner, where he entertained them in a style t ru ly Old English, an d w h ere his courtesy end kind-hearted ness failed not to win the of of every one present_ After the cloth was removed, he congratulated his guests on the improvement which had manifested itself generally in the prices of Agricultural produce. Since lie met them last year in that room, he had in his place in Parliament voted for a reduction of One-half of the Assesed Taxes, and which had since taken place ; and he was not without hope of a further relief from the same quarter. He trusted, not only to: hi s own sake, but for the welfare of all, that with good Management such savings might be made in the Poor's Rates, and in the out-goings of the Farmer, as would once more secure to him a fair remuneration for his skill and capital. He expressed the kindest interest in the prosperity of all his tenants, and his desire at all periods, of meeting the times by due abatements. It is al most unnecessary to add, that he satdown amidst the applause and admiration of the joyous recipients of his bounty and hospitality. For ourselves, we were delighed to witness that kindly feeling b e _ tween Landlord and Tenant, which we had so often deplored as being extinct. We beheld a disOnguished individual seated in the Baronial Chair of his Ancestors, uniting to great in fluence all the fascinations of modern perscnel courtesy, in urging his hospitalities on 3 grateful tenantry. And we will venture to affirm, that a happier rent-day has not been known in tke county for many years. Farmers may have some rugged points of character about thern, arising,perhaps, from thei r re r mode of life ; and as a better ducated body than for merly,they are doubtless more impat i ent under every shade of —but let them on ce f ee l that t h eir landlords and their g overnment y' are anxious only to exercise ov er themthema mild pat riarchal sway, and they will quickly prov e th a t a more atta ched, devoted, mor a l, and level body of men than the pre sent race, never exist e d in any country, or in any timee. are indeed proud to chr on i cle, that we have not a more popular l an dlord in the county th an its Representative in Parliament, t tyrann y;—but r e a l nn w h o se noble cond u ct on this occasion furnishes the su bj ec t fte the present articlee—(Hants Paver.) The Rev. T. SALWAY, M.A.has been pr esen t e d to the Vicarage of O swes t ry , void by the death of the Rev. J. W.

We once heard of a traveller who told a story of an immense pie—so large, indeed, that after the crust and meat were eaten, a dozen couples danced in the dish, and one of them lost a buckle in the gravy. Now we cannot boast that Sheffield has ever produced such a pie, but one was exhibited and eaten at Mr. Turner's, on Christmas eve, of the following size :—One yard and a half long, two feet wide, one foot deep, and ten feet round. It was baked by Mr. Barlow, quite per fect ; the crust coniisting of. six stone of rye meal.—(s. 7 iefield Independent.) • _ There is now to be seen at Mr. JOHN COHN 1.:.- LIELTS', Yeoman, of MiltOn, in D2vonshire, a wood-pigeon that was reared by him in the year 1813, and was so dotnesti_ cated that it would take its food'. from the hands, or even the mouth, of any of the family. In 1819 the bird was tnistod from the house, when at the expiration of six weeks it returned, and took its food as usual ;- in the following year it again took flight, and remained away. thirteen weeks : at its return it ap peared to have lost nothing of its familiarity with. the inmates of the house; in the year 1821 it flew away and remained six months, and in the early part of last year it took flight and continued away three quarters of a year; about a fortnight since it returned, and now remains in the house, where it re ceives its food in the familiar way as at first.—( Devonshire F 7 teitelder.) In one of the latest days of Fox, the conversa tion turned on the comparative wisdom of the French and English character. " The French man," it was observed, delights himself with the present; the Englishman makes himself anxious about the future. Is not the Frenchman the wiser ?" "He may be the merrier," said Fox: " but did you ever hear of a savage who did not buy a mirror in preference to a telescope Y" VALUE OF PRINTING.--In 1274 the price of a small Bible neatly transcribed was 301.;—a sum equal to at least 2 or 3001. of our money. A good and clearly printed Bible may now be had for two or three shillings. It is related that the building of the two arches of London Bridge cost only 251. which is 51. less than what a copy of the Bible sold for many years afterwards. These facts afford a curious commentary on the changes and advantages produced by the extra-1 ordinary invention of Printing, which has done so much to alter or to shake all the Imstitutions of the World, wherever the Press has appeared.

I.—Some extrao r di nar y sport occurre d with our subscription pack of harriers, which threw off at the Devil's Dyke, on Friday last. The field was numerously and brilliantly attcaded, and as brilliant as desired was the weather. Two hares had been started by three-quarters past two o'clock; and, at seven minutes before three, a third was started from a pit, near Bitching - ton, and musical again was the cry of the dogs. Puss dashed for Angleton, and made it, then sprung by the finger -post at the Dyk e , V arncom b B arn, an d crossed tho old ifenfield-road to Sweethill. Continuing her course, the Ditcheling-road was crossed, to Scarehills Star.- dead passed, and a flying visit paid to the Upper Lodge House of the Earl of Chichester. Scudding wide of the park fence a circuitous route brought her into the lower road, and she stood for Fulmer; but being headed, she changed her appa rent design and made for Hellinbury Castle-hill. This steep was rapidly ascended, and descended near to our Cavalry Bar rack, and the kennel of her staunch pursuers was nearly touched upon .as she extended her flight to the Cuckfield-road, and thence on for Preston. Within a few yards of the toll gate at the latter place, Puss, hard pressed, endeavoured to scale the high wall to the right of it, but was too exhausted to be successful. She now made the last ineffectual struggle for dear life—the dogs viewed her into a p on d , where she was drowned, ere any impression could be made on her coat by their teeth. The termination of this run, the most fatiguing of the season, was by moonlight. It had occupied two hours and seventeen minutes, without check, or being for an instant off' scent. Of upwards of e i g h ty - well-mounted sportsmen, the huntsman, on his favourite chesnut horse, and George Bicker, of Patcham, late of Ovingdean, with two or three gen tlemen, were the only parties in at th e d eat h . F r id ay t h ere was 1 a numerous aasemblege el Gentlemen at Brooke, to 'Meet Sir J. Astky (then on a visa to the Rev. Henry Wilson, of Kirby Ottne) with his fox hounds.

This fox (a sickly one) was also killed. On Monday Sir Jacob's pack hunted at Hedenham, and the next day returned through Norwich to his seat at Melton Collstable. SAGACITY OF THE ARABIAN HORSE. M.

The cargo of the Gustave had been sent to England and Holland. The Caroline, from Newfoundland to Nantes, and Adele, from Bordeaux to Rouen, also taken and carried in, had received much damage, and were dismantled. The Captain of the frigate re quested the 'Governor to endeavour to recover such part of the cargoes as was supposed to be concealed, and particularly the wine which was on board the Adele. HERTFORD GAOL.— Thurtell, Probert, and Hunt preserve their usual composure—indeed, Thurtell speaks confidently of his acquittal, and insinuates that his defence will surprise every body. He is busily occupied in writing parts of it, and then repeating them over in the order in which he means to apply them. Several religious books and some of Dr. Paley's Tracts have been sent to him by unkn own p ersons : h e rece i ve , the books ; but is too much engaged in the ar— rangements for his defence to devote himself to serious reflections upon any other subject. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)---The Driver of the Hackney Coach, No. 160, summoned a Gentleman named Keon for ls. 6d. th e b a l ance of his fare, 'under the following curious circum stances. A party of Ladies consisting of five took the coach at the corner of Portman-street, and rode to Soho-square, when one got out and gave him a shilling, and another gave her ad. dress, 25, Portman-street. The defence set up was that the defendant knew nothing of the trans action, but it appeared that his daughter was one of the party, and the Magistrates recommended his bringing the demand, which he did. There was not a single watch-house charge this day brought before the Magistrates. THE ROYAL NAVY. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. I. —His Majesty's ship Cambridii, Captain Maling, with the Consuli, &c. on beard for South America, has a blue peter flying at the fore, but the wind is too strong from the westward for her to sail at present. It has blown very hard all day. The outward-bound remain all well. The Jasper, Captain Arbuthnot, passed through Spithcad yesterday, for Brighton. His Majesty's ship Tribune is ar rived at Plymouth from Gibraltar, which she left on the night of the 16tii. Sir W. Curtis, in his yacht, sailed in company with his Majesty's sloop Weazle, from Gibraltar for the Mccli terranean, on the 14th.

She conveyed Admiral Arias to Cadiz to take the command of the squadron fitting out by Ferdinand,•for South America. The Asia, 74, a frigate, and three brigs, were the only Spanish men of war at Cadiz; they were far from being in a condition to go to sea. The Tribune spoke the Re venge, Vice-Admiral Sir Harry Neale, off Cape Spartel, on her way to relieve the Rochefort. When the Tribune left Gibral tar there was no ship of war lying there. The troops in garri son were, the 12th, 43d, 64th, and nth. On the arrival of the 23d regiment from Ireland, the ,75th will embark in the same ships for England.
