SOLEM QUIS DICERE FiILSUM AUDEAT LONDON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1824. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. IVe have received by Express Ga Messenger of Wednesday, from which the fol- lowing - are extracts : (From Galignani'i Messenger of trednesde.y.) Friday being the anniversary of the assassina tion of his late Royal Highness the Duke of Berri, all the theatres and public places of amusement ‘t ill be closed. The subscription for the Greek Priest isa- charus amounts to 700 francs. M. Gabriac, chief Secretary of the French Em bassy at the Court of Madrid, is appointed his :Majesty's Minister at Stockholm. His Excel lency arrived at Paris on Sunday, from Spain. The Journal tie Toulouse (native town of the :Minister of Finance), contains the following : " We learn from Paris, that the reduction of the interest of the public debt, from .5 to 4 per cent., is more talked of than ever. It is said that the French Government will raise a foreign loan, at the rate of 3 per cent., the produce of which will serve to pay off such creditors of the State as prefer to receive their capital. --It is calculated, that by this opera'tion the Government will reduce the national debt fifty millions per annum, and that this plan will have the advantage of anmenting the value of property by the abundance of cash which will be in circulation. It is likewise rumoured that a great book will be opened for indemnities to be granted to emi grants. According to the new plan, there will be made upon the interests a drawback, -which will serve fundholders in the place of land tax, and be equally effectual in investing them with the elective franchise." The King of Sweden has nominated Prince Oscar to be Vice-Roy of Norway. • A Clerk in the War Office has just been taken into custody upon a charge of having obtained the signature of the Minister, to enable persons to procure patents of Members for the Legion of Honour. The Prince of Hohenlohe Schillingsfurst died at Lucerne on the 21st ult. in the 81st year of his age. On the 31st ult. 30 millions of florins in bonds passed through Liege ; they were sent from the Court of Austria to that of London, and formed part of Rothschild's loan. In a preceding column we have given some in teresting extracts from the Paris Journals. A Madrid article in the Etoile again states that a modified amnesty is at length about to be issued. The same letter admits that letters from Lisbon speak of the intrigues which the Portuguese Con stitutionalists are carrying on against the Queen, or rather against the absolute system which has been so happily re-established in Portugal as well as in Spain. Private letters received in London also represent the political condition of both Spain and Portugal as being extremely precarious, and in continual danger of feeling the vivifying effects of a reaction that may render the recent military and diplomatic triumphs of the French of very little value.—The Journal des Debats confirms the reported recognition by Spain of a debt to France for her disinterested services of thirty four millions ; but it denies that any Spa ' nish property or revenue has been pledged as a security for the payment. If Spain has any thing to spare, we apprehend that she must in the first place satisfy the prior and the just claims of Great Britain, as acknowledged by the Convention concluded with the Constitutional Government for the pay ment of the losses, &c. of British merchants. A property of forty millions of rentes was pledged for that purpose by FERDINAND'S Government, previous to the French invasion ; and though that security has been cancelled by one of his very cs le.)rated Decrees, he will find that lie cannot dis pense with decreeing the creation of a new secu rity, eitherof the same or of some other description, for the same purpose.—An article from Zante contains some further cheering intelligence as to the state of the Greeks and the promising aspect of their affairs. Hobart Town Gazettes, received this mornint contain no intelligence of importance. CITY, Twelve ©'Clock.—Consols opened this morning at 914 and got up to 914, at which price they remain steady, with little doing.— Two Expresses arrived from Paris this morning, which has caused a report of the death of the King of FRANCE; but on inquiry I do not find that the report is confirmed. All that is cer tainly known is, that when the Expresses left, the KING was very ill. The French Funds, I hear, have been done as high as ( iSf. sc. FOREIGN AlmmET.—To-day being the Ac count for Spanish Bonds, most of the Brokers are busy settling their accounts. Austrian Bonds have experienced a rise, owing to 25-per cent. being paid yesterday by the holders of the said Stock. In the House of Commons last. night Mr. HUME moved for and obtained the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the propriety of repealing the laws against the emigration of British artizans to foreign countries and against the exportation of machinery from the United Kingdom, and also of repealing the Combination Laws. These proposals involve very serious and important alterations of the commercial and ma nufacturing system of the country ; and though we regret to observe that Mr. IlumE's motion received the cordial support of Mr. Husiossos, we would fain hope that they will neither be sanctioned by the Committee, nor rashly adopt ed by either House of Parliament. These ex perimental and dangerous innovations, like the other fanciful projects of the no‘ilern Political Economists, are advDcated on the general princi ple that every man has a right to exert his industry and talents in whatever manner and in whatsoever place he may think most beneficial to himself,—a proposition which in the abstract cannot be disputed, but which in its practical ap plication is equally puerile and fallacious, being irreconcileably and incontrovertibly opposed at, every turn by the necessary arrangements, rights, obligations, and duties of civilized society. As no man, for example, can be permitted to exert his industry in violation of the rights of pro perty vested in other persons, because the exercise of his natural right would be inconsistent with the acquired and legalized rights of other indivi duals, and would injuriously affect their interests, so no man ought to be permitted to exercise his natural rights in any case where their exercise is inconsistent with the acquired and legalized rights of the community of which he is a Member, or in which its exercise would be injurious to the general interests and welfare of the whole. If compulsory restraints upon natural rights are not only justifiable, but absolutely unavoidable, for the protection of the interests of individuals, how much more justifiable and necessary are those restraints that are imposed for the pro- tection of the rights of the community at large. The question, therefore, as respects the emigration of artisans and the exportation of machinery must be tried, not upon the ge neral principle, but upon the particular merits, — not with a view to the interests of individuals, but to those of the State ; and we are conscien tiously of opinion that it will not be difficult to prove that the exportation of our machinery and the emigration of our artisans cannot but be highly injurious to the manufacturing and com mercial industry of the nation. We have not the same objection to the repeal of the Combination Laws. On the contrary, we are of opinion that those laws are a pernicious violation both of natural rights and of just and sound principles of politi tical economy and enlightened legislation, and that they injuriously affect the interests of the public and of the State, as well as those of the useful classes of the people who are subjected to their operation. lIAMBURGIf, JAN. 31.—1 t deserves to be men tioned as a very singular phenomenon of the present winter, that the owner of a garden, a league from the city, has found in it hundreds of May-bugs, alive, of which he has brought a num b er to town w i t h ilm, and shewa to many persons. ROME, JAN. e2.—According to the accounts of the Missionaries in the Eastern Kingdom of Tonquin, Christianity makes great progress there. The Mandarins of the Ist and 2d class favour the labours of the Missionaries, and protect them in the exercise of their religion, the disturbers of which are rigourously punished. The learned men, in parti cular, are easily i n structed, and break their Idols to pieces after a few conferences with the Missionaries. In June, 1821, a whole district sent Deputies to ask to be instructed in the Chris tian faith. VIENNA, JAN. 29 .-IYletal liques, 85 4 1 ; Bank Shares, 943}.—(Austrian Observer, Jan. 30.)

Sir THOMAS MAITLAND, his Alajesty's Lord High Commis sioner of the lonian Islands. Yesterday Mr. Secretary CANNING transacted business.at the Foreign Office. Yesterday morning the Duke of CLARENCE arrived in town from B us h y P ar k. It is rumoured that JOHN SMITH BARRY, Esq• late High Sheriff of Cheshire, is to be created Earl of BARRYMO RE. We are aware that his MAJESTY is graciously pleased to hold in consi deration such Irish gentlemen of fortune as are residents, and Mr. BARRY who, besides his estates in Cheshire, Huntingdonshire, and Ox fordshire, has 30,000/. a year in Ireland, is a constant resident in the Barony of Barrymore, and County of Cork, where both his hospitality and the disposal of his income, in acts of bene volence and useful purposes, have higbly distin guished him. Captain A. D. Y. ARRUTHNOTT having been appointed to the Redwing, 18 guns, from the Jasper, at Portsmouth, on Wednesday, the crew of the latter ship made him a present of a magni ficent sword and bolt, as a mark of esteem for their late Commander. The sword is richly mounted, and the belt superbly embroidered. The Marchioness of WORCESTER has recently been delivered of a son and heir to the house of 11E1,1:FORT, at Paris. Some of our readers may know that the present mar riage of the Marquis of WoRcEsTL tt is deemed uncanonical, although we believe it obtained the consent of his noble rela tives, who, in order finally to put its legitimacy beyond doubt, commenced a friendly suit in Doctors' Commons, to prevent others from doing so, which is ne%cr likely to come to a decision. (Morning Paper.) MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.—The neighbourhood of Drury-lane was, this morning about 12 o'clock, thrown into the utmost state of alarm by the fall ing 'down of a house, N 0.85 and 86, Drury-lane, at the corner of Feather's-court. Although the premises were let out in tenements, we rejoice to say that no lives were lost, but there was scarcely a hope of saving one atom of the goods. Three or four bricklayer's labourers, who were at work on the ruins of the adjoining, premises at the mo ment the fall took place, had gone up to the cart in which they were putting rubbish. DREADFUL AFFAIR AT WORCESTER.---OD Sa turday night last, as three men and two girls were walking in the streets of Worcester, the men began to quarrel, when two of them seized the third, and with a knife cut him across the throat, the chest, and arms. He was taken to the Infirmary, and the other men and the women are in custody. ~„.„ 4 p.„ 4 49' vv e 0 ‘4.lt DEPARTURE OF THE KING FOR WINDSOR. BRIGHTON, FEB. 12.—His MAJESTY, precisely at half past 12 o'clock, P.M., left the Pavilion, accompanied, in his travelling carriage, by the Marquis Conyngham, and Sir Wil liam Knighton, not for Carlton-Palace, but to proceed direct to Windsor.—The, military, the 58th Infantry and the 7th Royal Hussars, were drawn up, extending from the south-gate of the Palace, with the colours, bands, drums, trumpets, and bugles of the several corps, together with a loyal and crowded assemblage of town's people. The national anthem was played as the Sovereign passed, with the usual ceremony of lowering the colours and presenting arms. In the midst of our regrets, we have the consolation to know that his Majesty left us per fectly re-established in health. The whole of the Royal Esta blishment, excepting those who are usually entrusted with the care of the Palace, will have left us by the end of the week.— Prior to the departure of the King for Windsor, his Majesty, with the Marquis Conyngham and Sir William Knighton, proceeded in his travelling carriage, at noon, to the Marine Parade, to survey the Chain Pier, from which his Majesty re ' turned to the Palace in about half an hour, and, without alight ing departed as above stated. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS. Lord Eardley and family, at their house in Lower Grosvenor street, from Belvedere, Kent ; Sir Robert Heathcote, Bart. from his seat, Normanton Park, Lincolnshire;. Lord Kensing ton and the Hon. Mr. Edwards, at Fenton's Hotel, St. James's street, from their seat in Wales; Marquis of Winchester, at the Royal Hotel, St. James's-street, from his seat in Hants ; Capt. Roust, R.N., at the Waterloo Hotel, Jermyn-street, from Portsmouth; Colonel Onslow, from Brighton; Mr. and Mrs. Frankland, and family, at their.house in Curzon-street, May fair, from their : seat, Yorkshire ; Mrs. Mitchell, in Charles street, Berkeley-square, from Brighton; Lord Miicon, in Grosvenor-square, from Yorkshire ; Sir W. and Lady Rum bold and family, at the Pulteney Hotel, Albemarle-street. LADY FAR QUIIAIeS MUSIC PARTY.—On Wednesday evening last, Lady Farquhar gave a charming concert, at her residence in St. James's-square. The music of the evening was excellent, and went off with great Brio. The performers were, Miss Stephens, who sung delightfully, as she always does, Messrs. Begrez and Placci. The novelty in the per formance was two young ladies of the name of Cawse, pupils of Sir George Smart. They joined in the Italian concerted pieces with the other singers ; and for such juvenile performers hold out great promise of future excellence. ROYAL UNIVERSAL DISPENSARY. The eighth anniversary of this excellent Institution was ce lebrated yesterday by a public dinner at the City of London Tavern, I3ishopsgate-street. At six o'clock, his Royal High ness the Duke of York entered the room, accompanied by Lord Bolton, Sir C. Flower, Baronet, Alderman Thompson, M.P., Alderman Garratt, R. Bernal, M.P., Alderman Key, C. Bar clay, Esq., the Hon. and Rev. E. J. Tumour, Dr. J. B. Davis, H. Read, Esq., W. Banbury, Esq., George. Durant. Esq., and several other Gentlemen. His Royal Highness having taken the chair, the company, consisting of nearly 250 persons, sat down to an excellent dinner. After dinner, Non Nobis was sung in good style by Messrs. Taylor and Broadhurst and other vocal performers. _ _ The cloth being removed, the usual toasts of " The King," " The Duke of York," " the Army and Navy," &c., were drank with loud applause. His Royal Highness, after a short speech, in which he eulogized the object of the Institution, and congratulated its friends on the numerous and respectable assem blage which was then met in its support, gave " Prosperity to the Royal Universal Dispensary for Children," which was drank kith loud applause. Dr. J. B. DAVIS, in returning thanks for the toast, took a review of the Institution from its commencement. From this we learn that since the establishment of the charity, not fewer than 60,000 children had been gratuitously pre scribed for, of whom not one in 60 had died. It was also stated, that in the same time, the deaths of children, under ten years of age, within the bills of mortality, were 5,000 less than in any preceding seven years. It was added, that from the establishment of the " Royal Infirmary for Children," in the Waterloo-road, (which is now in progress, and the comple tion of which is only delayed by the want of sufficient funds), still greater benefits might be expected to accrue to the children 'of the poor. In the course of the evening a liberal subscription was made at the tables in aid of the funds of the charity. His Royal Highness having quitted the chair at half-past nine o'clock, Alderman GARRATT was called thereto, and the friends of the charity continued to enjoy the festivities of the evening to a late hour. Th e Duke and Duchess of CLARENCI;, by ap pointment, went to the Ilousc of Lords yesterday, to view the New Royal Gallery, &c. Their Royal Highnesses were ac companied by two of the hisses Fitzclarence, &c. The Peers' door was opened, and the Officers of the House were in attend ance to wait on their Royal Highnesses; as were Mr. Soane, t he Architect ; Sir T. Tyrwhitt, Usher of the Black Rod ; and Mr. Wright, Deputy Housekeeper of the House of Lords. The Royal and distinguished party having examined the New Gallery, with which th e y were muc h d e li g ht e d, t h en passe d through the House of Lords, viewed the 'throne, &c.; went to the House of Commons ; and after that severally examined the new Law Courts in Westminster Hall. The party ex pressed-high admiration of the improvements, and of the rapi dity with which they have been executed. _ _ ADELent THEATne.—A new burletta, entitled Tom Jones, was represented last night at this Theatre, in which the main story was abridged into three acts, with clearness and humour. The spirited hero of the piece was well supported by Waexcli, Captain Fizpatrick was rendered pro minent by LEE (the Alanager), Partridge, with whimsical naivete, by WILKINSON, and Mrs. Honour by M r s. WAyrArr, with ease and viva city. Sophia also found a tolerable representa tive in Aliss HAMMEISLEY, particularly in her musical exertions, and the whole was amusing. It was very well received. Such an entertainment as this, drawn from a popular novel which repre sents real life, is much more pleasing than the horrffic pieces which can afford no moral improve ment,and scare rather than divert. A Comic Opera, with the same title, was brought forward many years ago at Covent-Garden Theatre, and so well received, that we wonder it has not been revived, rather than to produce the broad nonsense of the present day. It was written by JOSEPH REED, Esq., the author of The Register Office, a very po pular farce in its day, and which also might be successfully revived. Mr. REED also wrote a tragedy, entitled Dido, in which the beau ' tiftd Episode in The YEneid was drama tized with poetical spirit and judgment. The son of this Gentleman, we understand, has often endeavoured with filial reverence, to pro cure the revival of this tragedy, but in vain, though its intrinsic merits are well calculated to recommend it to public favour. Such is too often the fate of dramatic Genius for want of powerful interest, or due judgment in the purveyors for public amusement. DIZAMATIC LICENCER.—Never, we believe, has any appointment been allotted with more judg ment than the recently vacant office of Dramatic Licenser to Mr. COLMAN. His appointment is highly honourable to the taste and justice of the LORD CHAMBERLAIN, as well as peculiarly ap propriate to the talents of Mr. CoLmAN, the most deservedly popular dramatic writer of the pre sent day. His judgment will assuredly rescue the public from modern trash, while his liberality will he equally active in giving due encourage ment to works that may require no other recom mendation than their own inherent merits. DUCHY OF LANCASTER COURT.—(THrs DAY.) THE nrNG v. CLEMENT. Before the Right Hon : Lord BE XLE Y, ,justice BAILEY and Mr. Justice flonnOYD. At eleven o'clock, Lord Bexi.EY, as Chan cellor of the Duchy, took his seat in the Court, for t!le purpose of hearing the arguments of Counsel in the case of the Appeal by Mr. CLE mENT, Proprietor of The Observer .Newspaper, against the fine of 5001. imposed on him by the Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench, for publishing the proceedings in the trial of This tlewood and others for High Treason before their termination, against the express command of the Court. The ATTORNEY-G I:NERAL, and several of the, King's Counsel, appeared in support of the fine, and Messrs. BROUGHAM, DENMAN, SCA RLETT, and PLATT, for the appellant. Mr. SCARLETT, for the appellant, contended that the process of fining him could not be le gally done in this case through the EXchequer, but should have emanated alone from the Duchy of Lancaster Court ; and proceeded to argue on various defects which the process appeared, be said, to possess, which in more than one instance did not regularly set forth the terms of the of fence for which the fine had been levied. The Learned Counsel said, that he had four proposi tions to submit to the Court, and which he ap prehended, if true, or even if one only were true, would be a sufficient answer to this case. The first was, that the Court of Gaol Delivery had no power to issue a writ ofattachment.—Secondly, That the power of punishing for contempt com mitted out of the view of the Court by one who owes no suit to the Court, and bound by no official duty to the Court, was not devised • by, nor depended on, the power of punishing in a summary was.--idly, That the order not to pub lish the trials whilst they were depending, was - an order on all the King's subjects, amounting to a law, which the Court had no jurisdiction to make,-4thly, That if the order could be considered as one made in the particular trio!, and obedience exacted to it, as an order made in tine cause, it should have been made in writing, and ought to have been served on, the party before he could be punished for a contempt of Court. It appearing that the Estrent was not suUi:•iently explicit to ;Ilford full scope to the above agreement--the question was ad journed to admit of the drawing up of a plea on the part of the appellant, which would. admit of the question being argued on the broad constitutional ground, as to whether the Judges did or did not legally possess the power they had assumed. The ATTORNEY and SOLICITOR GENERAL at tended for the Grown, and Messrs. BROUGHAIia, SCARLETT, and DENMAN, for the appellant. hIERCA NTI SIIIPPING. MEAL, PER.
