SOLER QUIS DICERE FALSUM AUDEAT LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 14, 142.4. In our front page we have given copious and interesting extracts from the Paris and Lisbon Journals. King FERDINAND has issued a Decree, dated the 2d instant, ordering a solemn Te Deum to be offered up throughout South America for his deliverance, and decreeing the perpetual abolition of the late Spanish Constitution in his American dominions, in all which he orders the re-establishment of their Governments, con formably to the laws and ordinances existing pre vious to the 7th of March, 1820 ! The other ar ticles of this extraordinary Decree relate to the Municipalities,—the Civil and Military Offices, — the Courts of Justice and Religious Communi ties, —the Viceroys, Captains General, Gover nors, Intendants, Archbishops, Bishops, Deans, Chapters, and the Employes of every descrip tion, to all of whom his Catholic MAJESTY gives his orders and directions with as much apparent coolness as if he knew that he had only to speak in order to insure obedience, and as if his autho- rity wore as absolute over the vast countries which he still claims as appendages of his Crown, as it is within the palace of Madrid. Were it not for the suspicions still entertained with respect to the designs of France upon South America, this pompous assertion of the sovereignty of FEttni- NAsin over countries which have long freed them selves from his yoke, would be treated only with that derision to which its authors have entitled it by their ridiculous pretensions. But, appearing as it does simultaneously with the actual sailing an armament from Brest, and with the fur ther naval preparations which are carrying "1 not only in that port and in Toulon, but ju C adiz and other Spanish ports, and even in th e T agus, it is impossible not to suspect that this s - P er n'ngly absurd and impotent manifesto is but th e Precursor of a formidable attempt against the independence of the South American States. We shall deceive ourselves if we think that such an enterprize, supported by French gold, is sure to be unsuccessful. The French Government knows that ABISBALS and MottlLLos are to be found in the New World as well as in Spain and Portugal. The very eagerness with which the Ministerial Journals of Paris deny the reality o f any design against South America, appears to us to proceed from the consciousness that such a d esign exists and is seriously entertained. If that design is to be effected chiefly by the agency of gold, the interposition of this country and of North America may come too late ; and whi lst we are waiting till the open employ liglent of a French force shall justify our °l)Position to projects equally prejudicial to e i ur interest s an d to t h e r i g h ts of civiliza sloin'ti the States of South America may b e Y r evolutionized by F re nch agency.— E ngland will bitterly repent her weakness if sh e suffers herself to be duped in this most im portant affair. We owe neither respect, nor gra titude, nor friendship, to the present Government ofSpain. FEnntsAND himself, by his abrogation i all th e acts of th e C onst i tut i ona l G overnment , 1 " set up - tio n completely f ree f rom e very obliga by treaty which might exist to fetter our Pol 'cy• We ought, therefore, at once to give f ull and unqualified recognition of the inde pendence of t h e new transatlantic states, and t }, declare Unequi voca ll y t h at we s h a ll regar d the further aggressions o f S pa i n h erse lf upon o se States, as an attack upon the interests and power of the British Empire. This would, in deed, be a bold and decisive measure ; but it is one which would effectually guard us against the consequences of insincerity and duplicity. We do most conscientiously believe that the time for decisive measures has arrived ; and that none but such as shall prevent a Spanish armament from sailing for the New World will be efficacious. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. We have received by Express the Etoile of yesterday and the Journal des INGats of Mon day. The former assumes a bolder tone than hitherto with respect to this country, and affects to treat as contemptible the union of strength which would be obtained by an offensive and de fensive alliance between Great Britain and the United States of America. This piece of inso lence from the Etoile is not, at the present mo ment, destitute of meaning; and will probably be soon followed up by language still less equi vocal. The following are extracts : ( From the .Etoile of yesterday.) The English Journals still continue to speak with iffectation of the President's Message (United States.) We shall only answer in a few words to all their radical nonsense concerning the affairs of Europe. Let us suppose England makes common cause with the United States :—tha Power can only support England with nine sail of the line, 13 frigates, and 25,000 troops of the line. We learn from Cadiz that accounts have been received there, that the province of Oujaca, in New Spain, has separated itself from the Alexi can Government by an act of the 4th of June.— That of Guadalaxara has decided to acknow ledge the Mexican Government. The Mexican Congress decided, on the 16th May, on the sale of all the articles belonging to the Inquisition, conformably to the Decree of the 14th April. They state from Petersburgh, of the 23d De cember, that the marriage of the Grand Duke Michel with the Princess of Wirtemberg, took place on the 17th, celebrated according to the Greek religion. COURT NEW!, JAN. 12.—His Majesty beard Mass in his apartments. MADRID, JAN. 2. THE MINISTER OF WAR TO THE CAPTAIN-GENERAL OF GRENADA. " I have rendered an account to our Lord the King of your dispatch of the 19th Oct., and three documents which accompany it, the result of which is, that the Lieutenant of the King at Grenada has broken several Officers attached to the Etat Major, for having taken a part in the volunteer militia." ( From ties Journal des Dibats of Jan. 12.) PARIS, JAN. 12.—1 t is true that a discussion will take place between Russia, England, and the United States, relative to the North-east coast of America. CITY, Twelve o'Clock.—Consols opened this morning at 884, and up to this hour they are 88i to 89, with little doing. A private Express has arrived from Paris, this morning, bringing the French Rentes at 94f. 25c. Spanish Bonds 243- to 4—Ducats 80—French Scrip 54. FOREIGN M ARKET.-Spanish Bonds opened this morning at 241, got up to but afterwards lowered to a +, which is owing to its being Set fling Day to-morrow for the above Bonds. Yesterday afternoon, at four o'clock, the Duke of YORK, as Commander-in-Chief, held a Levee at his Office, in the Horse Guards, which was at tended by Major-General Sir John Malcolm, General Sir David Baird, Major-General Brown, General Champagne, Lieut.-General Sir Wm. Houstoun, and between 30 and 40 others. Monday night the Duchess of KENT, accompa nied by the Prince of LEININGEN, the Princess FEODOII, and their attendants, honoured Drury.. lane Theatre with their presence. The Royal Party sat in Prince LEOPOLD'S Box. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. had a long interview with Mr. Secretary CANNING, at the Foreign Office, on Saturday. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, the Bishop of LONDON, Lord STOWELL, Lord EL LENBOROUGH, and others, are on a visit to the Earl of ABYRDEEN, at the Priory, near Stan more. At a Court of Burgltniote, holden for Canter terbury on Tuesday last, a petition for the repeal of the duty on coal carried coastways was agreed upon, and the Members of Parliament for that city are to be requested to present the same, on the meeting of Parliament. —The Coast Blockade, under the command and judicious management of Capt Wm. M`Culloch, of his Majesty's ship Ramillies, has been found so far effectual in the prevention of smuggling within the district to which it has hitherto been confined, that it has been deter mined to extend it East and W , st, so as to include the whole of the Isle of Sheppy on one side, and to the westward as far as Chichester, which additional line of coast will, we are inform ed, be divided into three districts. and be officered and manned in the same manner as the three districts are at present, which will call into that service about forty Lieutenants, three Sur geons, six Assistant-Surgeons, three Pursers, and nearly 1,800 men, in addition to the number of officers and men already so employed.—(Kentish Gazettc,Jan. 13. ) J OU RN AL-OFFICE, WORCESTER, JAN. 9.—'SVe have not been able to obtain particulars of the numesous acci dents sustained by the fall of the galleries during the late fight, nor can we ascertain their extent. The following persons are now lying at our infirmary :—Richard Porter, Wilton, violent bruises ; John Calvin, jun., Worcester, fractured thigh and leg ; Thom as Stickford, Broadway, fractured ribs • John Holmes, compound fracture ; John Kelly, Dublin, fractured leg; Wm. Stinton, ;Worcester, serious contusions; James Tranley, London, compound fracture. Eight others were taken to the infirmary, but their injuries were not of so serious a nature. At the Hop Pole arc—Mr. Williams, Cheltenham, fractured leg; and Mr. Morris, fractured arm. At the Hop market is Mr. Mantle, of Birmingham, fractured thigh. It is supposed that the number seriously injured may be calcu lated at 100. - THE THEATRE. DRURY-LANE.—The general expectation of a new Opera, recommended to public attention by, the chief comic strength of the Theatre, theatrical and musical, drew an audience last night which completely filled the house. The name of this Opera is Phanlandering, or the Rose Queen. — We subjoin a list of the Characters, and a brief account of the Plot : DRAmATIs PcasoNlE.—Count Amaranth (in loo; with. Matilda), Mr. BRAHAu ; Philander (in love with Emile), Mr. LISTON ; Anselmo (privately married to Lisette), Mr. MER CXI2; Jerome (a jolly old Peasant), Mr. DO TON ; Pierre (a severe old Peasant), Mr. T ERRY ; aise (in love with Pauline), Mr. KNlGHT.—Peasants, Gens-d'Armes, Gypsies, &c. Matilda (in love with Count Amaranth), Miss FORDE Emile (in love with Philander), Miss STEPHENS ; Pauline (Jcrome's Daughter), Mad. VEsTRis ; Lisette (Pierre's Daughter), Miss SMITHSON ; Jeanette, Katrine, other Pea sants, &c. PLO L T.--" The principal incidents in this Opera are founded upon the Feast of the ltosiere, once so prevalent in many of the villages of Provence, and in some parts of Germany : in this feast, she who was declared by the matrons of the village to be the most modest, was crowned with a wreath of roses, and re ceived a marriage portion. Two old peasants, the one of a merry, the other of a severe character, each having a daughter whom he educates agreeably to his own ideas, the one giving his every indulgence, the other locking his up, and preventing her joining in any of the festivities of the village. These fathers both hope their daughter may obtain the wreath, and the Piece opens on the eve of the Festival. The Seigneur of the village, residing in a neighbouring castle, pays his first visit to the castle at this period, accomppnied by his intended wife, to gether with Philander and his intended bride. The Count and Philander become uneasy at their flirting propensities, and de termine to put their affection to the text, by making love to each other's mistresses. The Ladies, through the means of Au selnw, a protege , of the Count, have beeome acquainted with their plot, and punish their jealousy by permitting it to be ap parently successful. The Count and his friend, on this, deter mine to desert them, and to set out in quest of adventures, vowing vengeance against the whole sex. They accordingly assume the disguise of Troubadours, and proceed to the Feast of the Roses, where they commenc e th e i r career o f Philander ing with th e daughter of the jolly Peasant. Their Ladies fol low them in the disguise of Gypsies, and discern sufficient to set off' against them a feigned inconstancy. The daughter of the sev ere P easant t h en sets up claim to Philander as her hus band, whi c h i s at l engt h explained by its proving to be the Count's protege, who had married her under the assumed name of Philander." When a dramatic production appears to satisfy a large portion of the public, and particularly one of a musical nature, it would be ridiculous as well as churlish, and indeed arrogant, to enter into a severe scrutiny of its intrinsic merits. The piece was received throughout its progress with much applause, and without any opposition. But little of the latter appeared when announced on its close, by Mr. BRAMAN', for repetition to-morrow. Many of the songs were encored. The music was chiefly selected from the► works of foreign composers, and the original airs are understood to have been provided by Mr. ilottx, who sat at the piano -forte. The latte r airs, though in such good company, passed muster very well, and as the general reception of the whole was so favourable, we shall not, as we before intimated, °Pnose our opinion against the public judgment. Suffi ce it to say, that the actors acquitted them selves iu general with zeal and ability, and all obtained a due tribute of approbation. The Au thor, in a short and modest preface, apologizes for the imperfections of his songs, on the plea of the difficulty of adapting English words to fo reign music.—A Morning Critic repels this plea by a reference to The Beggar's Opera, in which the words are adapted to well-known airs, and yet abound i n point, humour, and satire. But, if we may rely. On Tradition, the songs of that Opera were not at all written by GAY, but many of them w ere contributions from Lord CHESTER FIELD, PULTENEY, AnntrfiNoT, and POPE, and therefore the Author of the new Opera can haVe no reason to be offended that he is introduced in SUCH company. Mr. BEAZLEY is the avowed Author of this Piece. He has often appeared before the Public with credit as an Ar chitect, and as the Writer of several suc cessful farces. In tile latter capacity, con sidering the reception of his Opera last night, he nee d not repine that he has relieved his severer studies by this indulgence of his lighter powers. We submit the following song, which was sung by Mr. BRAHAM and encored, as a specimen of `he poetry and an ingenious apologue : REASON AND LOVE.—(ORIGIN-Ax. Am.) Once Reason, they say, a Lady lov'd, And tried every means to get her; But Reason, alas ! he very soon prov'd That the Lady lov'd somebody better ; For whenever poor Reason would knock at the door, Intending with wisdom to court her, " Not at home," was the answer for ever in store, From Cupid, her Ladyship's porter : For woman and Reason can seldom agree, So Cupid refused his petition ; My mistress would turn me, away, Sir, said he, If Reason once gained an admission. The Lady grew older, but Cupid did not—, He's as young and as fresh as the morning; So Reason contriv'd, with a sober thought, To make the poor dame give him warning: But Cupid, not wishing his post to resign, Gently rapp'd, in his turn, at the door, sir;— " Not at home, sir," quoth Reason, the lady is mine,. So Cupid was heard of no more, sir. Quoth Reason, delighted, the lady is won— My empire I see is beginning • But, alas! he soon found th a t when Cupid was gone, The lady was scarce worth the winning. FOOTE.—A person talking to FooTr of an ac quaintance of his, who was so avaricious that he lamented the prospect of his funeral expences, and who yet had censured one of his relations for his parsimony—" Now is it not strange," continued he, " that this man would not take the be a m out of his own eye, before he attempted the mote in other people's ?" Why, so I dare say he would," cried FOOTE, " if he was sure of selling the timber." MR. C. YoßKE.—When this gentleman was returned Member for the University of Cambridge, in 1770, he went round to thank the Members who had voted for him. Among the number was one remarkable for having the largest and ugliest face that was ever seen. Mr. YORKE, in thanking him, said—" Sir, I have great reason to be thankful to my friends in general, but confess myself under particular obliga tions to you, for the very remadcalle countenance you have :hewn me upon this occasion." CREDULITY AND IGNORANCE OF THE 18TH CENTURY.—The Queen of PHILIP 111. being ac cused of adultery, the King sent for the Abbess of St. Hilary to cmsult the Bible on his wife's guilt or innocence. The children of Philip the Fair entered into an agreement in writing, whereby they promised to assist each other against all persons who should attempt their lives by means of magic or enchantment. By a decree of the French Parliament, a witch was condemned to the flames, who, in conjunction with the devil, had forced a deed in favour of Ro bert of Artois. The illness of Charles VI. was attributed to witchcraft, and they sent for a sor cerer to cure him. In England, the Duchess of Gloucester was condemned to do public penance in St. Paul's Cathedral, and her pretended ac complice was burnt alive as a sorceress, FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

The dayhas been fixed for the Anniversary of King Gronou THE FOURTH'S Accession to the Throne of Great Britain, the 29th inst. instead of the 27th. This will give the Noble Host an opportunity for displaying allegorical devices of the happy event. The Banqueting Hall will be the grand apartment : this room is now being formed out of the Tennis-court, by covering it with a roof in the form of a dome. The next in magnitude will be the ball room, known by the name of harry the Eighth's chamber, the walls of which are of solid oak, profusely adorn ed with sculpture. Then comes the saloon, the drawing rocms, the library, and the breakfast room ; in all seven. Added to these are no less than seven other apartments : the latter to be used as retiring rooms. The whole will be illuminated in a novel and beautiful man ner, with glass, and bull chandeliers; Roman, Grecian, and Etruscan lamps. At first it was proposed to limit the number of Visitants to a select few ; but the applications have been so numerous that the list has been greatly extended. The Duke of Clarence in vites a proportion of the company. The greatest bustle prevails, in various quarters, in the way of preparation, and we have no doubt but that the Earl at Egremont's wishes will be gratified by the way in which the' frte will be got up. BLACKHEATH. The third of a series of Winter Balls was held at the Green Man on Monday last. The room was crowded with the beauty and fashion of the distinguished neighbourhood. Captain Parry, who was present, joined in the merry dance, which was kept up with great vivacity till a late hour. , re e - -, ' ~•,..,%. . -.., #. ~,, t , - 4's 1,„: ) ... is‘h.." -' e h 4 -, •:, - f ,:; 1 „. 1 .. te. hh , • ' 4 ' • '' ~...11.-; p lA,liiii ti.4', .t. 44 t: .

Mar..tcca, M Ay 19.—We have had a Royal Tiger Hunt here. Capt. It ,of the 27th. and another Officer, came out four marches from Sangor, in this direction, with two elephants, in search of tigers. They met with one, and Capt. ordered his mahaut to take his elephant up to the spot where he was lying on the banks of a mall river, under some hushes, that he might get a fair shot at him. On his elephant getting within a few yards of the tiger, the latter rushed d, and just as he was about spring ing,and wounded him, which drove The tiger .hen tried o t o u t re a ti t r ; hi d eer ctchaabacross t ofi tr histel the river, deri r when the Captain ball into him, which made Nina f a ll i among the bush e s. The mahaot now thought the tiger was d e ad, as he saw him lay_ fi )ec d k an other i ng at full stretch, and he told his master of it ; b u t all the latt er could say could not persuade the mahaot that th e t i ger, f ar f rom b r i ng d ea d , was only "shamming Abraham." The mahaot p er sisted in pushing th e elephant close up to the t i g er, and the consequence was, the latter sprung up, and, before the Captain could fire, s prang upon the elephant's head, got his fore paws upon the houdah, pulled it all on one side, and wounded the mahaot on his thigh, pulling the elephant down at the same time, when out flew all the guns from the houdah, except the one that Captain R. had in his hand. The poor ma haot was so much alarmed (and not without reason) that he got off the neck of the elephant, and ran away into the jungle. In this state Capt. R. managed to get the muzzle of his gun against the tiger, and blew him off the elephant. She instantly got up, when the tiger laid hold of one of her hind legs, and mangled it consider ably. He then quitted her, and was going away to the jungle, when he met the unfortunate cooly belonging to the elephant coming up whom he immediately ran at and wounded so severely that he died a few days after. However, the Captain having got the mahaot to come back to the elephant, went in pursuit of the tiger again, and at length killed him. He commenced the battle with the tiger at 2 p.m. and had not killed him before sunset. The elephant's head and broboscis were much torn and the tiger had thirteen balls in him.. OnSunday last, at noon, a dreadful and nearly fatal accident happened to Mr. CALLAGAN, at Hammersmith. Mr. C. is well kno%n as a.vocal performer, heretofore engaged at the Ade/phi and Covent-garden Theatres. He, how ever, is said to have recently returned from Cadiz, whither he went and fought under the Constitutional Standard of Spain. He was at his friend's, Captain M'Creeth's house, which is facing Hammersmith Church, and he had just mounted one of his friend's horses, with the view of taking a yide. The animal suddenly took fright, either from the laughing of some ladies, or from the unconscious appli cation of Mr. Callaghan's long military roller spurs. The horse darted, or rather flew, into the main -road, leading from Hammersmith to Hounslow, but the animal regarded not the winding of the road, but straight pursued his course, and thus gallopped against the houses. 1/e went against the shop-front of Mr. Dutton, the grocer, slipped on the pavement, and dashed the iron-railwork into many pieces, which spread in all directions. The horse fell with such force, and the iron-bars having so deeply cut his neck, that he literally dropped lifeless. Mr. C. had kept his station on the horse's back, and fell with him, with such force as to tear all his clothes on that side of the person which came on the payment. Fortunately the horse, after he was down, bad not the power to plunge, and to this circumstance Mr. C. is indebted for the extraordinary pre servation of his life. His head was much bruised, as was his right side dreadfully ; but no limbs were broken. Ile bled profusely from the nose and mouth, and the flesh on the right arm was much torn, and it was with consider able difficulty that he could be conveyed to Mr Bowling's, a skilful surgeon, who resides near where the accident hap pened. Mr. Bowling imMediately bled M r . Callaghan and paid other attentions to him. Captain .31‘C. accompanied by a Spanish gentleman] soon afterwards came. M r . C. was so faint and shattered, that he with difficulty recognized them. OLD BAILEY—(Tms DAT.) These Sessions commenced this day before Mr. Baron JIULLOCK, Mr. Justice IkattouGH, the Loin MAYOR, RECORDER, Aldermen, &c., at the Justice Hall in the Old Bailey. There are on the present occasion 249 prisoners for trial, amongst which there are eleven for burglary. • SHOOTING AT GENERAL BURTON.—Willitm _Henry Reynolds was put to the bar on an indict ment, charging him with maliciously shooting at:, General Napier Christie Burton, on the Ist of January last, with intent to kill and murder him, or to do him some bodily harm. The circumstances of ti►is case have been so,: recently before our Readers, that a repetition of them on the present occasion would be super-' fluous. . The evidence adduced on the ~mat was precisely similar to that given at the Police, Office. Mr. ALLEY arid Mr. ANDREWS conducted the prosecution, and Mr. ADOLPHUS the defence. The prisoner declined saying any thing, but called several persons to speak to his character, all of whom gave him a very good one for mild ness and affection. Air. Justice BURROUGII summed up the evr dpnco to the Jury, who found the pris.mer Guilty—Death. ".1 A ti NI Y.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JAN. 13. CRIM. CON. LODGE V. HURRELL. This.was an action to recover damages for criminal conv2r cation with-the plaintiff's wife. Mr. BROUGHAM stated that the plaintiff was a person of good prospects in life. The defendant a young man of infe rior rank. The plaintiff and his wife were married in 1816, at St. George's, Hanover-square. They lived happily in the house of a Mr. Everett until a dispute with the mother of Mrs. Lodge led to a separation. The plaintiff; notwithstanffing the separation, occasionally visited his child, but his visits ex tended no further. Mrs. Lodge carried on the business of a milliner and dress-maker in the house of Mr. Everett. It would appear that the defendant, who had been .received as a visitor before the separation, took advantage of the absence of the hus band after the separation to renew the connection and furnish ground for the present action: The separation took place in 1821. After that time the d e f en d an t was constant in his visits. Mrs. Lodge removed to the house of Mr. Moore, in Portland street where she was still visited by Mr. Harrell. She had previously appeared pregnant, and was delivered of a malfi....in fant. The plaintiff only discovered his dishonour by healing his child Henry talk about his little brother. Mr. BROUGHAM called several witnesses, who proved , : the separation, the visits of Harrell, and the birth of the second child. The suspicious appearances were detailed, but 'the cri minality required by law was not made out. The plaintiff was therefore nonsuit,o. lOUSELE:Sa The residue of the funds that were collected about four years since, for affording nightly shel ter to the numerous outcasts that are seen wander ing about the Metropolis in a state of wretch edness, we are happy to state, have, since the present inclement season, been again ap propriated to the benevolent . ' purposes for which they were intended. The Commit tee of Management • were deprived of the ex tensive recepticle in Honduras -street, Old-street, occupied as the Refuge last winter, in con sequence of the proprietor having disposed of the premises to his better advantage ; and they htive therefore been on the constant look-out for a suit able building forshelterin g these wretched indivi duals during the present winter. Their exertions have at length proved successful, as they have en gaged at a vast expellee the spacious warehouses of Mr. Holt,in Grub-street, Crippkgate, for the pur pose. These premises are situated at the end of Grub-street, in Fore -street, and were formerly occupied as warehouses for Manchester goods that arrived by the different waggons. They are extremely spacious, and well calculated for •the purpose they are intended for. Since they have been in the possession of the committee (which i. formed by the same benevolent gentlemen who acted four years aao, when the •Refuge was .in London-wall), a number of carpenters and other workmen have been, and are still, employed in making the Refuge wore comfortable for the wretched inmates, to whom it will.doubtless afford consolation to know, that if the present cold weather continues, the receptacle will , be opened for them to sleep in on Friday or -Sa turday next. The premises (Pickard's brewery) in Wapping, which were opened last winter, will be also open this, for the admission of sailors and other houseless individuals about, the east end of the Metropolis. We are informed that another receptacle is about to be opened in the neighbourhood of St. Giles's. CORN-EXCHANGE, Jaw. 14.
