We have received by Express the Journal des Débais of Tuesday. The following are ex- tracts : ( From _ll4 Journal de: Debatt of Tuarlay.) lIAGIJE, FEB. l 2.—'There is a good deal said about Prince Frederick going as Viceroy to the Indian possessions of Holland, this appoint ment being connected with the grand plan for the reorganization of those provinces, which are still far from being well administered, and without a good state of defence, which their richness and importance require. At present the political state of affairs requires powerful organizations, both military and civil, to ward off the danger which all our India possessions are at this moment threatened with. The Island of Java, from which coffee, sugar, cotton, and in digo, are exported, augments every year its pro duce. The Island of Banks, with its immense mines,—Celebes and Borneo, which are rich in diamonds and gold,—the Islands of Atnboine and Banda, so productive for spices, may be said to be an empire more important and more rich than the Brazils. According to the last statement from the an cient Governor Daendels, the revenue amounted, at 10,790,000 rix dollars, to 57,177,000 francs. —(Correspondent of Nuremberg.) This morning, after Mass, his Majesty gave audience to the Duke Poliguac. Afterwards the King transacted business with the President of the Council of Ministers. The King was to have gone out, but the incertitude of the weather pre vented him. The moment the Duke de Bourbon learnt the result of the consultation of Physicians, he im mediately proceeded to see his sister Louise de Conde. The moment th e P r i ncess s aw him ; she recognised her brother, and put out her arm, and he embraced her. The Priuce remained with his sister during the night. The Marquis de Talaru has been made a Peer of France, by an Ordinance of the King. We are not yet so well satisfied as to the true character of FERDINAND'S Decree for legalizing the trade with South America, as to think, like some of our contemporaries, that it is a subject of congratulation for the commercial interest of this country. A supicion has already been ex pressed, that the Decree is in fact a skilful diplomatic artifice, contrived in the Cabinet of Paris, for the purpose of not only avert ing the expected recognition of the South Ame rican States by Great Britain, but of in ducing her ultimately to permit the forces of ■ Confederacy to be employed in aiding Spain to I reduce them again under her dominion. One of the principal grounds of our resistance to the execu- on of that fondly cherished project, certainly isms to be obviated by a measure which throws open the ci-devant possessions of Spain to our com merce. We have declared that we will not suffer fo reign hostile interference with the new States, be cause the continuance of that independence which they have substantially achieved is of importance to our own commercial prosperity. Here comes a Decree, however, which assures us that we shall have free commercial intercourse with South Ame rica, even if its present independent states should be returned to the condition of Spanish Colonies. The Cabinets of Madrid and Paris, &c., there fore, probably calculate that the English Govern ment will, as in the cases of Naples and Spain, content itself with protesting against an unjusti fiable aggression on the rights of nations, which, however, being unaccompanied by any direct at tack on the interests and honour of England herself, is not of such a nature as to induce her to plunge into a romantic and Quixotic war ! But, the South Americans being once again bent to the yoke of the Mother Country, what is to pre vent FERDINAND from hereafter annulling his present Decree, and, Spain being now vir tually a province of France, what is to pre vent the Cabinet of Paris from compelling FERDINAND to give a preference to the commerce of France with the Colonies ? It may be said, that neither France nor Spain, however strong may be the temptation, will dare, by so flagrant a breach of good faith, to provoke the hostility of England, and that the dread of a war with this country will always be sufficient for compelling them to fulfil their implied or expressed obligations. But if the dread of a war with us is so great that it would prevent France and Spain from set- Ling us at defiance, even after all the prin cipal difficulties shall have been previously overcome by our credulous supineness, how much more certainly would the dread of a war with us now deter France and Spain from prosecuting their designs against South Ame rica, if our immediate recognition of, and alliance with, the new States of America, were to convince France and Spain that the object for which the war was to be undertaken could never by possibility be accomplished ? This conclusion, and the policy ou our part which it indicates, are so obvious, that it appears to us to be unnecessary to enforce them. 'We will only add one word more as to the congratulations which are offered to the Commercial Interests of this, country. Sup pose that during the present fallacious and hollow state of affairs, they continue their ship ments to South America,—and suppose that Spain regains her sovereignty de facto,--will she not seize,—will she not heve a right to seize,— every ounce of British merchandize which she may find in the., ports of her Colonies, as contraband, and 'to condemn them not only for the amount of the thities which ought to have been paid on their introduttion, but for those which she may be able to prove, to her own satis faction, that the importers had previously evaded, by their antecedent illegal transactions ? We again repeat, that the immediate recognition of the Governments of South America is the only safe policy for this country, and the only policy tl►at is worthy of its character and its honour. CITY, Twelve e'Clock.—Consols opened at 91-N for the Account, and for Money at which price they remain, with scarce any fluc tuation. An Express arrived this morning from Paris, with the French prices of Tuesday.— Rentes were done as high as 101 f. 20c., fell to 99. 70., got up again to 100. 40., and the last price 100. 10., with a continuation of 46 to 50. —Spanish was done at A 5, and left off at 205 to 26 4- ---- Neapolitan was at 87, but left off at 86+. By the above Express, `1 do not hear of any par ticular news from Paris, except that they expect some favourable news concerning the Old Loan from Madrid. Little business is doing this morn- in; in the Consols Market. FOREIGN MARKET.—Since yesterday morning most of th e Foreign Securities have lowered, and this mornin g they continue heavy, and not much business doing. Ilqi-posr Twelve o'clock,-- .Consols are, up to this moment, gii, buyers, for the Account ; Money, 911,.. Tn 2 KiNG.—Yesterd a y morn i ng, about a quarter past 1I o'clock, his num.'s- left Wind sor in his travelling carriage, with outriders, and escorted by a party of the 3d Regiment of Light Dragoons, and arrived at his Palace in Pall-Mall about half-past one. Soon after the King re ceived visits from the Duke of York and the Duchess of Glocester. his M a j es t y was atten d e d by the First Lord o f t h e Treasury, the Secretary of State for the Horne -Department, th e S ecre t ar y of State for Foreign Aff a i rs, the Secretary of State for the Colonial Department, the Master General of the Ordnance, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. Lord Viscount Granville was introduced to his Majesty by upo n his being appoi n t e d AMmr.bSuesscarteituarrytuCatriting the Kin g of the Netherlands, in the room of the Earl of Clancarty. The Noble Viscount kissed hands, and had the honour of a private audience to take leave, previous to his Lordship's departure for the Netherlands in a few days' time. The above Cabinet Ministers had also audiences of his Majesty. The Court at half-past f our o ' clock. At ten u b roke t e s up before five his Majesty left town on his re turn to Windsor, escorted by a party of the 3d Light Dragoons. Extract of a recent mercantile letter from Lisbon :—" It is said that all idea of arrangement with Brazil is abandoned, and, in the meantime, preparations are making for sending troops to Para and Maranham, and emissaries to the Province of Rio Grande to revolutionize' it, in order that Brazil may be on fire, as it were, in its two extremities. The emir- Marks are two confidential Officers, who will depart secretly in an American vessel freighted by the Government. They are instructed by General SALDANICA, who was Governqr of the Province of Rio Grande, and who counts on the co-operation of the friends he has left them. The plans are not yet known ; one of the means of annoyance in view is to prohibit the ex portation of dried meat, 4i.c. with the view of inconveniencing the provinces of Bahia and Pernambuco. Marshal BERNSFOILD was consulted; and, notwithstanding his disapprobation, the plan will be carried into effect; the authors of the plan antici pate a favourable result; but sensible people see only the ruin of this kingdom in the prolongation of the war with Brazil. A continuation of the maritime war must destroy our com merce. Courtiers form plans at their ease, while we poor mer chants are ruined by successive losses." The SPEAKER'S first Parliamentary Levee, for the present Session, will be on Saturday next. Mr. B. Sfriw has succeeded the late Mr. MARRYAT, as Chairman of the Committee of Lloyd's. We are sorry to learn that Sir THOMAS Rein was attacked on Tuesday afternoon last, by an apoplectic fit, and is in considerable danger. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.-.On Wed nesday afternoon, the Union Coach, which runs between this town and Sheffield, was upset at IVorsbrough-bridge, about 2 miles from Barnsley. By this accident, Mr. Gordon, of Sheffield, a highly respectable teacher of dancing, was killed. His head unfor tunately fell against a large stone laid on the left-hand side of the road. The blood instantly flowed from different parts of the head ; and so violent was the effect produced by the fall, that he neither spoke nor seemed sensible of his me lancholy situation, and only survived a short time. Mr. Gordon has left a widow and two daughters; and we should not be fulfilling our duty, were we not to recommend to the Proprietors of the Union Coach the necessity of af fording pecuniary relief to his bereaved family. On their part, we consider it a paramount duty ; and having thus briefly alluded to it, we leave the case to their serious reflection. —On Thursday an inquest was held over the body, before A. A. Hardy, Esq. After several depositions the Jury re tired for so me ti me , an d t h en returne d a ver di ct of " Accidental Death."—Mr. Gordon' s re m a ins were buried on S aturday, i n the Churchyard of Worsbrough.—( Lcecis Indep en d ent, Fe b . 170 THE KING. WlNDsott, FEB. 18.—This morning, at a quarter past eleven, the KING left the Castle in his travelling carriage, for his Palace, Pall-mall, escorted by a party of the 3d Dragoon Guards. His Majesty returns this evening, and will have a select party to dinner at the Castle.—This morning orders were received at the Barracks for the route of the 34th Regiment, now stationed at Windsor part leave on Saturday, and the remainder on Monday, for Portsmouth.

Taylor, er..c., &c. , Mustc.—Mrs. BRA HAIR last night gave a delightful musi cal treat to a numerous party of her friends in Baker -street, as may well be conceived, when we mention that Messrs.

EDITOR—The Morning Chronick asks, " Upon what principle did not our Ministry interfere to prevent what they consider to be a most unjustifiable aggression, meaning on the part of France towards Spain ?" ANSWER. Nonc but an arrant Quizotte fights To set an erring world to rights. We did most kindly interfere ( But Patriot Spain refuted to hear), Adyis'd to reinstate the King, But first to clip the Eagle's wing. Ah ! now how much wou'd they rejoice, Cou'd thee but have again the choice ! That_prectous moment's slipp'd a w a y, And FERD'NAND bears despotic sway. It What boots it, a f ter a ll , i n Spain, Whether but one or many reign They've got, it must be still confect, Of two alternatives, the best: One Tyrant possibly may squeeze A ;few or rebel Peer, but these Wou'd blast the most respected names, And set the world again m flames.

His Majesty's Hounds meet to-morrow at Langley Broom, instead of the Magpies, Hounslow Heath, as at first appointed. They had a smart gallant chace on Friday last. At half-past ten a very fine stag was turned out, and after fifteen minutes, Lord Maryborough, the Master of the Hounds, desired the hounds to be laid on ; they drew for some distance, when com ing on the scent, they steadily challenged, and commenced running at a gallant pace towards Cranford Park, Hayes, and West End, near .Ruislip, leaving Harrow on the right, to Pinner, the hounds keeping well togeth er , an d go i ng at a most rapid pace, by Ax e y, t o the right of Moor Park, Ricicinans worth to Watford, wh ere h e was ta k en, after a run of one hour and a quarter, being upwards of eighteen miles across the country. The hounds going at.such a pace all the way, very few were at the immediate taking, except the huntsman.— Such a chase is very rare in the annals of stag-hunting ; several very fine horses were very much distressed, and some died in consequence of the severe run and the ground being so very heavy, among which were the horses of Lords Valletort and Alvan] ey. MATCH AT CI:MS.—WC have already stated that the Paris Chess Club, named Le Coyle de Philidor, challenged the Lon don Chess Club to pl a y a M atc h at Chess, the moves to be transmitted either by post or by extraordinary couriers. The challenge was accepted, and fifty guineas a game named for the stakes. An answer has just been received from M. De La Bourdonnaye, the second player in Paris, declining the m a t c h, as the French Club is on t h e po i nt of dissolution, in conse quence of a dispute among its members. BOXERS. THE CHAMPIONSHIP.—The Castle Tavern was on Tues day night again thronged by the supporters of pugilism. Spring was in attendance, as well as the Gentlemen who enter ed into the agreement with Belcher to make the match. It appears the contention now is as to the place; and if on a stage whether that stage shall be turfed. Manchester Race Course was named as a proper place. Spring several times addressed the company, and stated that his friends would not let him go so far off, and he could on no account think of offending them ; all that he could say was, " that he would right Langan for five hundred a-side on a twenty-foot turfed stage, at any pine! not exceeding one hundred miles from London." Great difference of opinion prevailed respecting the turf, and the friends of Langan thought it soft to make sach a stipulation ; while the friends of Spring contended, that if the only object of Langan was to prevent the ring being broken,, he sh ou ld ac cede to th e p ro p ose d t e rm s . In thi s s t a t e the talked-of match remains, there seeming to be as much difficulty' to get proles- Bional men to fight as to get others to be friends. COURT OF CIIANCERY-('l' DAY.) COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. C.ONST V. HARRIS. The LORD CUANCELLOR said, that unless the parties in thii case agreed between themselyes, between this day and Tuesday, he should order the Master to peremptorily proceed in the ap pointment of a Receiver of the rents and profits of the Theatre. • • COURT OF KING'S BENCII—(Tms DAY.) JEFFREY V. Silt G. P. TUItNER, BART. This was a❑ action brought by the plaintiff against the defendant, to recover the sum of 3101. 18s. ld.--Mr. Comyri stated, that the plaintiff in this case was a grocer and oilman, re siding in Crawford -street, Portman-square : he had supplied the family of Sir Gregory with nu merous necessaries in his business, and he now sought the recovery of the amount. Subsequent, however, to the debt being contracted, the un fortunate defendant had a commission of lunacy issued against him. Lady Turner, it appears, was very particular; she looked over the various bills and subscribed her name to them, as an ac knowledgmeut that the articles were furnished. The Learned Counsel then called Mrs. Bush, who formerly was in the service of Sir Gregory Page Turner: she proved that the grocery and: other articles were furnished by the plaintiff; a. book was kept in which the things were entered, and her Ladyship very frequently examined Witness knew her Ladyship's hand-writing, and. the signature now produced is Lady Turner's.— No defence being set up, the Jury instantly re turned a verdict for the plaintiff.—Damages, 3101. 18s. Id. OLD BAILEY—('I'Na Dar.) Jas. Fuller was indicted for stealing a mare, the property of Wm. Bainbridge, of Finchley, nurseryman. The prisoner was an extra servant of the pro secutor's, and obtained the horse from a stable keeper, with whom it stood at livery, and, in a state of intoxication, offered to sell it. The horse was not bought, however, and it appearing that the prisoner had been sent ou an errand, the Common Sergeant put it to the Jury to say whether, in a case of so serious a nature, they could rest satisfied of the criminal intention of the prisoner, and the Jury acquitted him. firm. Sykes was indicted for breaking and en tering the dwelling-house of Janes Child, on the 31st of February, and stealing therein four coats, &c., the property of the said James Child, and. certain other property [elonging to Lord Daralev. The prisoners were accidentally stopped by a watchman, who on searching him found a knife, part of the property stolen, and at his lodgings the greater Fart of the remainder.
