SATURDAY, JANUARY 17, 1824 Iu our preceding columns we have inserted extracts from the Paris Papers of Wednesday and Thursday, and from Dutch Journals to the 13th instant. The chief article of interest con tained in them is the intelligence from Trieste., c onfirmatory of the outrage said to have been offered to an English ship by a Tunisian cruiser, a nd even to the person of the British Consul at Tanis, for having endeavoured to obtain the re lease of the Greeks who had been forcibly taken fr om the English vessel. The intelligence now received from Trieste states, that all the British 3 bilds of war in the Levant have been ordered to assemble at Malta, for the purpose of forming a Powerful expedition, which will proceed to Tnnis, and either obtain ample satisfaction for th e alleged injuries, or inflict exemplary chas tisement on the Barbarians. CITY, Twelve o'C/ock.--Consols opened this 'orning at 8814 Ex-dividend, at which price they remain steady, with little fluctuation. Thi' morning being pay day, there is a great hustle among the Brokers in paying and receiving their accounts.--Letters have been received this morning from all parts of the Continent, which concur in stating a belief, that peace. will be maintained in Europe. I do not hear of any Express having arrived from Paris as yet.— The information from the Brazils has excited some interest in the City ; and it is thought by the well-informed that some commotions have token place at Rio preceding the change of the Mini.try. Up to this hour I.do not hear of any Tore failures of an extensive description, although I understand several have taken place, but not on alarge scale.

One o 'C/ock.--Consols, 89k ex di Our Readers are aware that we have for some li me Past expressed a suspicion that the new States of South America are not quite so safe as ma ny politicians in this country have been in duced to believe. The science of political cor ruption is at present better understood on the Continent than at any former period ; and there are less uncertain and less sanguinary, and even less expensive modes of recovering lost colonies than the employment of open force, however necessary it rnay be to make some shew of military de nlonstrations for the sake of giving increased ener g o J and efficacy to the silent and unseen 4'avements of diplomatic intrigue. We are "nscie ntiously of opinion, that an expedition °C ten or twelve thousand men, for the purpose of su pporting the counter-revolutionary schemes State ren ch agents, would endanger the new o r s . panlsh America, unless the hopes of the Count e-, ' e volutionists are dashed by the full recocr • ti the : 1" : 1 ;" °11 of th e I n d e p en d en t G overnmen ts on -r ` of Great Britain, and unless the Pa triots are t hus assured of the stability of the , e i xisti ng order o f t hi ngs. L etters rece i ve d yester ' ay by t he ship Brothers, from Rio de Janeiro, c _," t4i P int e lli gence, which proves that somedark, nark Po!iticai machinations have been going c 'n in the Brazils, and the results of which, when 1 1 . 0 y ar e ascertained, will probably strengthen the worst apprehensions which we entertain upon this most important subject. The letters sJo dated the '2 7th of November, and state that the new. Emperor of BRAZIL has. at length most suddenly and unexpectedly adopted measures which ; leave little doubt of his intention to secure, either the rich possession of Bra i I for the crown of his father, or the abso lute sovereignty for himself. It appears, that a few days previous to the date of the letters , the Emperor, by a proceeding as violent and arbitrary as that of CROMWELL, when he put an end to the long Parliament, had dissolved the Congress, then sitting And engaged in deliberation on subjects of the most important nature, among which was that of the future constitution by which Brazil was to be governed, and the terms of which were presumed to have had the Em peror's approbation. Not content with a simple dissolution of the Legislative Body, ars order was at the same time issued for placing under arrest those of its members known to be attache tad liberal principles.— They were seized, and placed on board 'a trans port, lying in the harbour, which immediately sailed with this new and unexpected freight, for the destination, as was given out of Havre, de Grace, but there is too much reason to fear that these unfortunate persons will he carried, instead of to an European port, to some of the Portuguese settlements on the coast of Africa. The dissolution of the Congress, and the deportation of the liberal Members, was followed by the dismissal of the existing Ministry and the appointment of a new one, the Members of which, though avowedly of republican principles, are characterized as men but too likely to make them subservient to their interests. The following is a list of the Ministers in office at the period of the dissolution of the Congress:— Jose Joaquim Carneiro Campos, Foreign Affairs and Inte rior—Caetano Pinto de Miranda Montenegro, Justice—Joao Vieira de Carvalhe, War—Luis da Cunha Moreira, Marine— Manoel Jacinto Nogueira da Gama, Finance• The following is the list of the new Ministry, who are one more in number, a division has ing been made in the offices for Foreign •Affairs and the Interior, which had previously in the same individual:— been united Luis Jose de Carvalho e Mello, Foreign Affairs--Joao Seve riano Maciel da Costa, Interior—Mariano Jose Pereira da Fon seca, Finance—Clemente Ferreira Franca, Justice --Joao Gomez Silveira Mendonsa, War—Francisca Villela Parbcza, Marine. Private letters from Constantinople, dated the 15th December, state that the Captain Pacha had arrived there with only ten vessels. which were in the most wretched. state. Exertions were making night and day in the dock-yard to repairTthem. The Fight of these vessels had ex cited a strong sensation among the people, and the Divan had met daily to deliberate, it was supposed, on the affairs of Greece. The REIS EFFENDI had frequent consultations with Lord STRANGFORD, and it seems that the Porte ‘‘as beginning to attend to the representations of his Lordship. The violent measures of the Turkish Government relative to the currency had depre ciated the exchange to 72 para. The Fury and Hecla are to be taken into Dock immediately at Deptford, and fitted for the voy age of discovery. Captain PARRY takes the command of the Hecla, his ship in the first voy age under his orders; and Captain HoerNcrt is to command the Furl. The Griper is also fitting, and proceeds to Wager River, from whence Captain LYON proceeds by land. Captain L-rox is appointed to the Griper, as is also Lieutenant MANICO, who is to accompany him in his journey. A letter from an officer on board the Harle quin sloop of war, states the following . circum stance as giving rise to the report of that vessel having foundered off the western coast of Ire land. It seems that the last time this ship was in company with the Arab sloop, one of the crew exchanged his hat, on which was painted the word " Harlequin," with one , belonging to the Arab, and on the loss of the hitter this identical hat was washed on shore with several pieces of wreck. Mr. Secretary CANNING has been on a visit to the Earl of LIVERPOOL since Thursday last, but is expected to return to Gloucester Lodge this evening. The Right Hon. Gentleman trans acted business in Downing-street, on Wednesday On Thursday, previously to his leaVing town, Earl BATHURST was with Mr. CANNING for a con siderable length of time at the Foreign Office. MENDICITY Soctrrr.—There is a well-written letter, signed " A Friend to the Poor," in The Time; of this day, charging the above named Society with alleged abuses. I t appears to con tain strong facts, but whether the charges be true or false, we conceive that they cannot remain unanswered by the Conductors of that Institution, which, if justly managed, must be considered as one of the most benevolent and beneficial of similar essablishments. TM?. STREETS.-Macadamising. Regent-street proceeds with great rapidity. The •inhabitants of the West side were surprised a few mornings since, to find a road instead of a street opposite their doors, the pavement having been removed during the night, and the stones broken sub stituted.

COVENT-GARDEN.-It -was impossible to wit ness the revival of The Duenna, the dialogue of which, independently of its variety of characters, the diverting intricacies of the plot, and its mu scal attractions, without lamenting the decline of dramatic genius, since the first appearance of this deservedly popular Opera. It may be easily concluded that, supported by such performers us Miss P ATON , Alki LOVE. SINCLAIIt, FAWCETT, BLANCHARD, DUHIJSET, PINE, and BARTLEY, it was likely to be attractive, and such was ob viously the case last. night in the presence o f a Numerous audience, who were abundant in ap plause. FOR THE St N. :- . BENEVOLENT THEATRICALS. , .. Isle of IVigist, Jan. 16, 1224, I Y I R. EDITOR.—Da. JOHNSON, in the trib ute h e 1 paid to the memory of GABstecx, lamented that the great 1 Leader of one source of , 4 harmless pleasure" was no more.' more : The Gentlemen of our garrison have lately sliewn how a stet honourable ep i t h et may b e a dd e d to t h at amuseme nt, by the Purposes to which they have directed it, under the liberal sup munificent por t of our benevolent little island; and, on the 14th of this month we had the humane satisfaction, as wen as t , : c. Pleasure, of seeing them perform, and in an ad- NewPqrt, manner, the much-admired Cm T Comedy of he Rivals, benefit of a eespectable company of Comedians at ad mirable a : ba forfie an th a rational but who, like most of their travelling brethren of Then's at this se a son of the year, need warmer coats than they ca n always provide for theinsoZves. That such an example may excite similar benevolence in other Military Amateurs of the Drama, this little sketch of the performance is transmitted to T H E SUN. The Characters in the Play Were cast as f o ll ows : --Sir An thony Absolute, Mr. GrrEoru a , 92d Regiment Captain Ab. so l u te, Mr. GILL, 50th; Si r Lucius O ' Trigger, C apta i n C " 81st ; Falkland, Ca ain , ; ptain CAZIPBELL ; Bob Acres, Mr. TUDOR, 69th; Fag, A p a virs, 35th ; Coachman, Al a , Ir. C AMPBEL L, 32d ; David, Mr: i REDMAN. It has not n general been deemed fair to compare Amateur Performers with those of the profession.—but most of these Gentlemen might very w e ll stand the test' in running a parallel with some of the best in London : Mr. GIFFORD, in Sir Anthony, reminded us of .MUNDEN, but rather in the style than as a copieet ; his manner being quite original, and in no degree exaggerating the c h aracter, pourtrayed t h e humorous affectionate, passionate, with his son, Captain 4b solvt ., old Baronet to the life : all his scenes evident ease to (sustained by Mr. GILL with himself, and like a Gentleman). set the house in a roar,—the contrast between the apparent ungovernable wrath of the one, and the perfectly respectful nonchalance of the othe r , being irresistible. B o b Acres (Mr. TUD OR ) was inimitable ; and had LISTO: himself been present, he must have found pleasure in shaking this Amateur rival by the hand. Sir Lucius 0' Trigger (Captain CAIRNS) might have had a character better adapted to his talents. Darid (Mr. DaeviEs) was all genuine comic humour. Fag (Mr. CAMPBELL) we re greeted as too short for the merits o f th e en actor ; but those who had seen Mr. C. in Tangent, a few ni g hts before, easily recog nised the object of their former eulogium. Captain CAMPBELL gave us Falkland with all the morbid sensibility of that pecu liarly irritable lover, and added to it an interest, besides, we do not remember to have felt before for that torturer of la belle pass"eoll. To the Play was appended the laughable Farce of The Mayer of Garratt,—and all was absolutely fatiltless. .3 1 ejor Stur geon, the perfect fisherman in regimentals; Jerry Sneak, the poor, creeping, snivelling, henpecked- hneband„—impOssible, except by the power of dramatic metamorphosis, to suppose personated.by the same Gentleman who gave us Capta;it Abso lute. Brother Bruin *as Urea Major ; and Heel-Tap, the drunken Cobler, surpassed even:his Datid.cf the Play, which we had thought was not to be equalled. But the hearts of these benevolent ornaments of our garrison were in the whole buSineta from • beginning to end ; therefore, we need not be surprised at so general a proof of excellence, when the generous zeal of Charity kindles the genius which enlists in her cause. • '• - a n FIUMANITAS. 'r.b.--2,lay we hope that these laudable exertions of talent will be continued ; and there cannot be a doubt of the humane and judicious inhabitants of ,our Island giving their liberal patt °nage.

QUEEN-SQUAB:E.-CAUTION TO RECRUITING SER JEANTr..—Yesterday a man named Olaston, who stated him self to be a shoemaker at Kensington, entered the office with a recruiting serjeant, who said he had enlisted him, but that he was now willing to pay the smart. The Magistrate asked the man when had he enlistad ? " Your Worship," said the man, " I got tipsy on Christmas- day last, and kept up the iprec till the following Saturday,. when I met this serjeant at a public-house ; he was then in coloured clothes ; I told him I was out of work, and he said the best thing I could do would be to become a soldier; that a shoe-maker could make a fortune in the army; and if I liked he could get me into a good regiment. I agreed, and he gave me a shilling, but I spent it upon all the company, and now he says he will take me up for a deserter." The Magistrate told the Serjeant this conduct was deroga tory to the principles of the Mutiny Act ; he had no right to enlist a man in coloured clothes without rendering hiensclf liable to a heavy punishment; and moreover when in a state of intoxication, even if he was legally enlisted, he should have 'brought him before a Magistrate to be attested in twerity.:four hours afterwards. The Serjeant answered, that the man knew him to be a sol dier, that he was aware of his being enlisted next day, and pro mised to join it any time : he was now prepared to pay the smart-money, if his Worship pleased. The Magistrate observed, it was the frst time he had such a case brought before him, therefore he would now overlook it, but if such a thing happen again he will treat it differently. Now lie will express his indignation by discharging the man without pays :g the smart money. ARMY IN INDIA.

TUE KING V. THE INHABITANTS OF THE COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX- This was an indictment preferred by a person of the name of Filbey, residing in Layton, Essex, against the County of Middlesex, for a nuisance in not repairing a certain bridge which crosses the River Lea. Mr. GURNEY, in stating the case to the Jury, observed, that the water of the River Lea passes by three channels between Homerton and the Temple Mills, the middle one being the ancient channel of the river Lea, over which the . indicted bridge stood ; that to the west, next , • ,. 4 I to lionierton, in Middlesex, being the new which is the present navigation of the river ; and. • that to the east is .a mill-stream, dividing the..„ • counties of Middlesex and Essex. The Learned, Counsel con - ended, that this indicted bridge was used by the public for a great number of years, and that it was the corm - nunication between the counties of Middlesex and Essex, and that the county was liable, prima . facia, to the repair, of all bridges on public highways ; that the bridge in question was of such antiquity that no one - could tell when or by %born it was built. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, Mr. Srutersc,T, and Mr. CHITTY, appeared for the defence, contend ing that it was a private bridge, and that the county were not bound to pay for its repairs. The Learned Gentlemen, in the course of the cross-examination of the witnesses, ascertained that a toil had beep► taken for carriages passieg over. The CniEFJusTlcz said, the role question for the consideration of the Jury was, whether it was or was not a public bridge. The Jury immediately observed, they were satisfied it was a private bridge, and re turned a verdict for the defendants.
