The Governor of l3adajoz has published a pro clamation to the citizens, in which he passes the • highest etilogium on the French troops, and ex presses his confidence that the inhabitants who 'have hitherto been distinguished by their mode ration andlood conduct, will persevere in it ; and to be assured that with the co-operation of the armed. force every thing will be done' to maintain tranquillity, to ensure their happiness,' and effectually to'serve their beloved Sovereign. ( From the Journal des Debuts. ) MADRID, Nor. 18.—An Ordinance of Police contains the following : " Every person, of whatever class or condition he may be, who possesses books, pamphlets, caricatures, paintings, or prints, whether printed in Spain, or introduced from foreign countries, from the Ist of January, 1820, to the 24th of Decem ber, 1823, must give up these paintings and books to the curate Of his parish, in the space of thirty, days, whatever may be 'the subject matter treated of i n d ie books.' " A similar surrender must be made of books, pamphlets, or papers, prohibited by the Church or th e Holy Tribunal of th: Inquisition, whatever nitl,y be the period of their printing or publication. Those who infringe these dispositions shall be punished according to law. Every person giving information of its Infringement, shall be assured of secresy, and a third of the tine imposed shall be given him. The books which upon examination shall he found to contain nothing contrary to reli giu, shall he faithfully sent back to their owner."

She had been left by her daughter, read ing before the fire in the front parlour about ten -minutes, when a stranger passing beheld from the street the room in flames, and gave the alarm. -On entering the apartment, a horrible scene pre sented itself ; the wretched woman extended on the floor wiihout a vestige of raiment of any description remaining on her person, which, with the exception of her feet, was burnt frightfully, the tongue, hair, eyes, ears, and nails, being nearly destroyed ; in this calamitous condition the ill-fated sufferer was wrapped in sheets and taken still breathing to Guy's Hospital, when, - after languishing in the extremity of torture for four hours, and culling on death to relieve her, - She expired in the arms of her afflicted son. She waa unusually tall, and had borne the remains of .1110C11 beauty. It is remarkable that her husband . was scalded to death 43 years slime. FATAL, ACCIDENT.--Yesterday an Inquest was held at the Bricklayer's Arms, Pimlico, before the Deputy Coroner of Westminster, on the bodies of Michael Newstead and John Hum ' plait's, two young men, who met their death as follows :--It appeared that the deceased were employed by Mr. Bramwell, wive merchant, at the corner of Elizabeth-street, in pulling down some vaults and cleaning the bricks; to effect which they pulled down about sixteen feet on one side, leaving nothing to support it on the other side. Tuesday morning they commenced cleaning the bricks, assisted by two others ; when, about half-past ten o'clock, the vaults tell in, and several men were employed to dig out the deceased. Bliss, one of the assistant men, es caped unhurt, being the furthest under the arch not undermined ; and Turner, the other assistant, though half bulled under bricks and earth, was safely dug out. Verdict—" Accidental death from the falling of an urea, which the deceased u ere employed to remove." It was added, that Newstead's sister had ent reate d hi m not to go to work, she having dreamed twice on th e p rece di ng night that he'was crushed to d eat h, an d b roug h t !bottle a corpse.

BEAR HUNTING in HUNGARY and BOHEMIA, In ti n ' more remote and less cultivated districts of Hungary and Bohemia, the brown or black bear is in winter the terror of the shepherds; and hunting him is almost as fa vourite a pastime with the people In those countries, as bull lighting with the inhabitants of Portugal or Spain. It is early in the spring that the bears generally do most mischief, when the hard frost has straitened them for several weeks of their f orest prey ; they then make " raids," by broad day-light, into the hamlets and villages; and it is not at all uncommon for a peasant, returning from his labour in the field, to find a furred and whiskered marauder in possession of his hut, and ransack. ing it, from the meal chest to the corner cupboard, in quest of provision. If tracked with hounds, which is easy at this season, because his footsteps in the snow betray him, the bear retreats, but by no means in disorder, or with any especial celerity, stopping now and then to discuss any over troublesome as. gallant, which he doeS with as much coolness and method as a poulterer would tru ss a c hi c ken ; when pressed with fire-arms, or in danger from numbers, he rolls himself over a t h azar d among the rocks and p rec ipices ; and unless the fi rst b u ll et which strikes him should be mortal, there is an end of the chase generally for that day. In the summer, however, when the bear is less ferocious, there are two modes (without either dogs or fire-arms) of hunting him, both of which are sufficiently verting, and both require great bodily activity, joined to courage and and presence of mind. At this time the ani ma l fee d s a good deal upon grain and v egeta ble, and is freq uent l y seen i n wood paths, and. even open r oa ds ; if you stand aside,give the pas in these encounters, he seldom molests you ; but if wounded or affronted, the aggressor has work enough upon his hands. For the chase, the villagers go out in parties of 3 or 4 together, each man armed with a small axe made in the manner nearly of the American tomahawk; and the first work is to beat the places where a bear is likely to be found, or to lay a bait for him, con. misting of a dead sheep, near w hi c h t h ey wa i t unt il he is at tracted by the smell. When Bruin appears, the hunter who is to make the attack (having grappling hooks fitted to his knees in order to climb more easily) advances boldly within fifty or sixty yards, and commences the quarrel by throwing a stone; t hi s done, be makes for a tree which he has selected, and then, according to agreement with his companions, the affair be comes a tragedy, or is to terminate as a farce. As soon as the bear finds himself struck, he starts, at a smart trot, in pursuit of his molester; seldom offering to meddle with any one else unless his vengean ce i s i nter f ere d w i th ; and when he reaches the tree, he strai g h tway begins to ascend, with as much expe. dition as his habitual grnviti of movement will permit. This Is the moment, if the game is to die, at which the forester be. gins to bestir himself. Seated among the lowest and strongest branches of the tree, he rapidly cuts away with his axe any small twigs which might impede the full sweep and play of his arm ; then takin gs fi rm h o ld with his left hand twisted in the boughs, with his weapon in the right, he awaits the approach of the enemy. The bear, by the help of his strong claws climbs slowly up the. trunk of th e t ree ; b ut t h ese d i g so deep some . timesinto the bark, that lie finds it difficult to draw them out again. This gives the man full time, who waits steadily till the foremost fore paw comes within his reach, when, with one vi gorous blow of the axe, he either strikes it off, or mutilates it so us to stop all chance of limiter progress. The position here for striking is so favourable, and habit makes the hunters so expert, that many of them, in twenty blows, would not miss once dividing the paw, bone and all entirely ; but whether this be done or not, the stroke is usually fatal to the animal, who falls to the ground, and is dispatched while still stunned with the force of his descent. Sometimes he remains clinging with his second paw to the tree; but in that case, the second paw is immediately cut off likewise, when of necessity he rolls over backwards, anti remains at the mercy ot' the hunters. In the second manner of summer hunting, the bear fre quently does not die ; and it Is followed by the shepherds, with no other arms than their crooks, reinforced, perhaps, by a few hedge-stakes, or an occasional volley of stones. For the pur pose of this chase, when the beast approaches a flock of sheep, us keepers immediately face him ; and one, having commenced hostilities by throwing his stone, takes to his post of security, the tree; this time, however, instead of using his axe, he merely gets astride upon the largest and lowest bough that he can find, and in that posture awaits the combat, which becomes highly ludicrous and entertaining. The bear, swarming up the trunk of the tree by the help of his claws, arrives easily enough at the branch in which the hunter sits, but by this time the latter has retired perhaps a couple of yards from the stem ; and, when it becomes necessary to walk along to get at hint, instead of climbing, the matter changes some. thing of position. If the bough is large, the pursuer com monly. gets upon it, and advances, its well as lie may, holding by some of the upper ones, towards his foe ; but the other still getting backward, where the branch is weaker, keeps, with the most perfect security, within three feet of his head. A burlesque kind of dialogue then commences, in which the hunter invites the bear to approach, offers to shake think of' b ac ki n hands with hi m , prom i ses a loaf' of bread, &c.; but in the p mean time, th e l atter, who di s lik es the narro w t oo ti ng , an d moreover feels th e b runc h b en d u nder him, remains somewh at embarrassed as t o th e disposal of his own person, and begins to Ite b g ecomes perfectly harmless, for, to descend the trunk, as he in again towards the trunk of the tree. Here must go backw a rds, is a more tedious operation than ascending Was; and in t h e mean t i me the hunter, slidi ng ou t t o t h e ex . treinity of hi s b ranc h, d ro p s off' holding by both hands, into the arms of his comrades below. The joke then ends with a 'how er of stones, or of lighte.d firebrands, at the bear, who sits discomfited in the tree very much at a loss what course to pursue. It ' e nraged too far, however, he will sometimes roll his body up, and so cast hi mse lf d own h ea dl ong w i th w h at f ortune h e may; in which case, should he alight not seriously hurt, his tor. mentors hnd it convenient to disperse as quickly as P°ssihie• The Earl of nurrrninnos, late Governor of Dominica, has, we understand, left that Island, on his retur n to England. An Act unanimously passed the House of Assembly previous to his Lordship's departure, declaring that no future Governor shall be allowed a salary of more than 3,00 01 . per annum, being a redu ct i on of one fourth.--(,g rincent Gazelle.) c tr 4 3 .2 . = p . • 0., eT, =4,0 •' pr (4, Air 7 V, 1 7, :*itik.

QUIT DICERS FALSUM AUDEAT P LONDON, THURSIMY EVENING, DEC. 2, 1824. INntA.-;—A paragraph appeared in a Morning Paper of this day, importing that an unfavourable dispatch had been received, which came overland from India, we find on enquiry to be without any solid foundation. There is no interesting news in the City, or any noticeable reports on 'Change. The recent inundations in Germany have been the occasion of such extensive distress as must in terest the friends of humanity in every part of the globe. Mr. .. R OTIISCHILD and his amiable Lady, who are always ready to assist distress as well as to patronize merit, have humanely taken the lead, and held forth an example of liberality, in order to promote a subscription in this country for the relief of the numerous sufferers by the melan choly and unexpected calamity alluded to. We therefore trust that those who enjoy affluence will follow the example of the truly respectable pair whose names appear in the advertisement which we gratuitously insert this day in another part of our Paper. Lisbon Gazettes from the ISth to the 201 h ult. inclusive were received this morning. They do not contain any news from Brazil, but comment on several articles relating to that country in the English and Brazilian Journal', with the view of placing the situation of the Brazilian Empire in a disadvantageous light. The following are the observations on a notice issued by ti►e Minister of Marine at Itiojde Janeiro t calling upon persdail possessing slaves fit for a seafaring life to sell them to the Government, in order that they might be employed in the Imperial Navy, which was suffering for the want of seamen. • Ltsnox, Nov. 18.—In another part of our Paper we , transcribe an edict of the Intendant of the Marine, at Rio de Janeiro, which shews the means to which that Country has recourse to recruit its Navy. We, who are well acquainted with the strength of that Country yet in its infancy, with the most scanty population in proportion to its extent of any on the surface of the globe, am: consequently the weakest in relation to force, cannot but deplore the means there resorted to of teaching the use of arms to their slaves, and associating them in their military enterprises. Let Brazil prepare to receive one day the reward of this political blindness. If its pre• sent weakness obliges it to recur to its slaves to support its ungrateful and impolitic revolution, how much more pre• carious will its situation be when its slaves, having learnt the use of arms, shall make use of them, not only to claim their liberty, but also to dictate the law, since they form in . Brazil the mass of the population ; they outnumber the whites AS 2 to 1, and form the labouring and agricultural classes. For A country so constituted to provoke a war, is the height ef infs. tuation. Whence arc they to recruit their losses, if, in the first preparations to arm a little squadron, they are obliged to have recourse to the purchase of slaves!! And what valour oe patriotism can be expected from those wretches in oppositul to our brave seamen, e s p ec ially:when the slaves know that tin liberty depends rather on the capture of their ships than 0.2 their victory. POLICE REPORTS.—The legality of these Re ports, it seems, is to be decided by an a pp eal to the house of Lords. There can be no q uestion, howeveros to their utility, whatever way he deter mined on their legality. 13ad men, who have not lost all sense of shame, are often deferred fora the commission of crimes by the dread of public exposure before the Police Magistrates, and the consequent reports of the diurnal Press, but th e mode in which those reports are often gi ven / lead rather to throw an air of ridicule ove r o ff ences than to restrain guilt by the fear of i n fa n'Y' The Reports, which ought to be gra ve, strict, and impartial, are rendered ludicrous n arratives instead of faithful records. We are sur p tized that when Magistrates see the proceetliags rn their Courts thus abused, they do not exa ct a pro" mint from the Reporter, that he will fait hfully detail what passes, and not obtrude his own offen sive buffoonery, which blunts the edge of truth, impairs the energy of justice, and throws an air of facetiousness over guilt that otherwise wig" be shamed into caution, if not into virtue. o st r e e r ig d n ay A a rr f a te ir for r Y b F i e net Council s meat was held atSecretary syeh g vaeerrp.oT. s tate _ he ' r s e ° : i e e r e e attended fur the se asonrsin:--oehoeevnitiohcareh.ttp,lvtreo prorogation o f Parlia end Bathurst ; of nu roof"' present—the Lord Ch ance llor, Mr. Secretary Peel, IVIr.SPc I ,„ o f Wel lington, the Earls of Liverpool, Wehlroorland, ~ reta ry Canning, the Chancellor of the gxcherltiet' vo o ation Viscount Melville, Mr, Wynn, Scc.
