Ills Majesty has invested him with the Order of Carlos 111. There is a new Ordinanza (or System of Regu lations for the - Army) issued ;—by it, two-thirds cf the Officers are to be disbanded, and put on half -pay. Many vessels have already cleared out for their l arious destinations, but clearances can only be obtained under peculiar circumstances, so impe lions are the calls of Government for transport to the Americas.

The Duncan sailed from England on the 29th October'; she might, with a very quick passage, and unencumbered -with convoy, (which how ever was not the case), have reached the Brazils abOut the 15th December; but then we have only three weeks for a conveyance to reach Eng land from thence.--It is for the Morning Chro nick to inform us by what three wetks' con veyance its advices were brought. 134 the fact is, the Duncan was scarcely out of the Channel by the middl e o f N ovem b er , and could not pos sibly, we should suppose, reach Rio de Janeiro till about this time. So much for Morning Chronicle adcices---of which more anon ; but in the interim we have the satis faction to refer the able -Geographer, who pro cures intelligence so quickly from " Whercsoc'er the wind doth blow," to THE Stir:, which has so often contradicted him on this point—he will find, in the end, that not only is the PRINCE REGENT returning immedi ately to Europe, but that Lord STRANGFORD ac companies him ! Saturday Mr. BASSETT, the King's Messenger, was sent off with dispatches to Viscount CASTLE REAGH at Vienna. Dominica, Barbadoes, Antigua, St. Vincent, and other West India Journals, to the sth No vember, have been received. The talk of removing BUONAPARTE from Elba to the island of St. Helena is renewed. This'step pr:4,ably would not be taken without a previous sentence, declaratory of the nullity of hiS mar riage with the Archduchess MARIA LoutsA. Lieutenant-Colonel *KAY had arrived at Mon treal. In compliment to the gallant defence made by him at the Prarie des Chiens, Mackinac had been called Fort 'Kay. _ It having been reported that Lord HILL had declined the command of our Armies in America, his Lordship took the opportunity of declaring, at a recent meeting of the Shropshire Hunt, at Shrewsbury, that he had not declined serving in America either as Coalman(ler-in-Chief, or under the direction of Sir G. PREVOST, and that he was ready, at any time, to extend his services, should his Prince or his Country require diem, to any part of the globe. A private letter from Calcutta, dated" the Ist of August, mentions, that an application had been made to the Earl of MoIRA, by Lieutenant-Gene ral BROWNRIGG, Governor of Ceylon, for a strong reinforcement of troops to he sent to that island, for the reduction of the Candyans, who were making preparations in all quarters for the avowed purpose of a general attack upon our settlements along the coast. HiNIBURGH, DEC. 30.—1 n relation to Saxony and Poland, every thing has undergone a change at Vienna. Prussia will have other compensa tions _in lieu of Saxony, and the Congress wilt still last a long time —(Times.) The Earl of LIVERPOOL- iS gone to Bath in consequence of his being indisposed ; he is, how ever,• expected only to remain there a fortnight.. A Dublin Paper says, that Lord CASTLEREAGH has exacted from the Ministry of Louis XVIII. an engagement that the Irish Brigade shall never be revived in the French army. The accounts from Paris are full of the gracious reception which the King gave to the public bo dies who waited on him to offer the congatulations of the new year. The Marshal of France, the Generals and other Officers of rank, the municipal body of Paris, the Clergy, &c. all appeared in turn, and to each of them the King addressed some of those kind and appropriate expressions, which so happily mark the difference of character between a beneficieut Monarch, and a heartless Usurper. The striking contrast which the opening of the present year presents to that of the last, cannot but penetrate die heart of every Frenchman with gratitude to that Almighty Being, who has stilled the raging of a long and terrible - revolution, by means so unexpected and astonishing. The King of SPAIN has conferred a " Croix d'Honneur" on Lieut.-Colonel STEELE, in testi utonyof his Majesty's approbation of his services during the campaign in the Pyrennecs. COURT-MARTIAL—The several Members ap pointed to sit on the Court-Martial which has been ordered for the trial of the charges preferred against Sir JOHN MURRAY, are summoned to as semble on Monday morning, the 16th inst. at Winchester. The Right Hon. CHARLES MAN NERS SUTTON, the Judge Advocate General, is the Prosecutor of all the charges, with the exception of the last . ; Admiral HALLOWELL. is the Prose cutor of this charge, which relates to the raising of the siege of Tarragona, and the abandoning of guns, &c. General SKINNER, Governor of Guadaloupe, has published a Proclamation offering a reward of 500 dollars for the apprehension of Charles Douenel, a planter, of tile quarter called . Brouillante, in that island, also a promise of frtedom to any slave who shall apprehend him, the 500 dollars to be given to his owner as an indemnification. • Vie crime of which Douenel is accused, is, for having a long time harbour&l two deserters from his Ma jesty's troops, aftehvards confined and mutilated them, and caused them to be &awned at some distance from. the shore by his negroes ; after Which he caused these negroes to be shipped off from the island as bad subjects, in order to con ceal the horrible deed. The late Marquis of LOTHIAN whs Colonel of the 2d Dragoons, or Scotch Greys, and not of the I I th, as erroneously stated. . His Lordship was the oldest General in the British service, except the Marquis of DROGHEDA and the Hon. General MAITLAND, to whom he was junior only three years. The Magistrates of the COunty of Middlese x had a meeting on Friday, at the Westminster Ses sions House, at which they elected Mr. WATSON to be Charmain pro tempare ; ani as the most de licate course towards their old Chairman, post poned the election of a new Chairman, till Mr. MAINWAIUNG'S affairs shall be finally settled.

Saturday the Quarterly meeting of the QUEEN'S COuncil, appointed under the Regency Act, was held at Windsor Castle, to inquire into the state of the KING. The Members of the Council as sembled at the Upper Lodge about 12 o'clock, where they received the report of Drs. Sir HENRY HALFORD, BAILLIE, IJEBERDEN, arid • the two Drs. Wrt.us ; after which they pr( ceeded to the Castle, where they held . a Council with her Ma jesty. ,The LORD CHANCELLOR -and the Doke of Morsiruosz were deputed t o m a k e t he Quarterly Report to the Privy Council, and after the break ing up of the Council, and they had partaken of some refreshment, they left Windsor in a royal carriage and four, about half-past two o'clock, for London, and arrived at the Privy Council Office, Whitehall, soon .alter five, where Mr. BULLER., the Clerk of the Council, was in waiting to receive. the Report.

R. WILLIS. H. HEBERDEN. THE THEATRE. As there was so full an examination into the merits of Mr. KEAN'S fist appearance in the part of Romeo, in THE SUN of Tuesday last-, it is not necessary for us to say much respecting his second performance of the same character on Saturday, at Drury-lane Theatre. That account of him has by some of his friends beeii thought too severe. To such we can only say, that TRUTH is our oh ject,'and that we should scorn as much to impose upon the public in matters of taste, as ,in the essenial concerns of the national welfare. AU we shall now say of Mr..XEAN's re-appear anee in Romeo is, that we saw - 'no reason to with- draw any of our opinions. We watched him anxiously, in order to discover and record his me rits; but, we regret to say, that we w a t c h e d without success. " It has been Mr. kEast's chief merit to give force and efficacy to particular pas sages which other performers, in their desire to give a bold and Correct outline, tive too necli gently passed over. But nothing of this pointed and striking detail is, in our opinion, ob servable in his Romeo. In justice to him, we most readily admit that he seems to be i n earnest, and bends all his powers to 'fulfil his conception of the character, but his habits and external qualities are impediments - that seem to be wholly adverse to such a degree of success • in the representation of it as to entitle it to an equal rank. with his other performances.—The audience were evidently of this opinion, for he excited very little applause, except in the scene in which he is informed by the Friar that he is doomed to ba nishment.—ln this scene he played with great emotion, though 'certainly overstrained, and re ceived much applause.—We shall now dismiss the subject, of Mr. KHAN'S Romeo, and, with. a zeal in his favour More rational than that of his enthusiastic admirers, who certainly iv effect•are not to be Considered as his best friends, advise him to adhere to those char ac t ers i n w hi c h . he has become so popular, or to resort to others equally appropriate to his talents and his habitudes. JOANNA 'SOTJTHCOTT. HER FUNERAL. After dissection on Saturday se'nnigl►t, the body was put in a plain coffin in the presence of three Gentlemen. When the lid was screwed (Own,. pitch was applied to the edges and rim. While this was performing, the strictest injunc tions of secrecy'were given to all present. At 12 .o'clock at night the crowd having retired- from the street, the coffin was carried by four men to the undertaker's, at the corner or 'Rathbone place, Oxford-street. Here it remained during Sunday : on Monday afternoon, about two o'clock, it was put into a hearse, drawn by two horses, without the.usual ornament of feathers, to favour the belief that it did not contain a corpse, but was only going, to receive and convey one. Tie hearse, followed by three Gentlemen i❑ a coach and pair, then•'proceeded to Mary-le-bone upper burying-grontid, near Kilburn, where it was in terred ; and the usual church service performed by the Clergyman. A-few people whom. curiosity attracted round the grave had not- the slightest suspicion that the coffin contained the remains of Joanna Southcott. Such precautions were taken, that it was impossible the secret could premature ly transpire. It was known to none of her fol lowers, and scarcely to any of her late confidants. The three Geptlefnen who followed the corpse to the grave .were muffled up more than is customary even to mourners : they wore great. coats, which were buttoned up lo the chin, black cloaks stand ing high in the collar, handkerchiefs tied round the lower part of the face, and their hats pulled over their eyes. So completely had they succeeded in disguising themselves, that not a feature was visible : they abstained from all conversation, so that the writer of this communication could not recognise their persons. On their road to the place of interment, they were joined by -a fourth person, equally well disguised as themselves, and who did not separate from them. This last is conjectured to have been Tozer. - • ' The Princess CHARLOTTE Of WALES completed er 19th year on Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. KENIBLE arrived in Dublin ön the sth instant. BATH, JAN. 6.—An. elopement has just taken place. A young Lady, who is to have a fortune of 60,0001. whose, family encouraged her attach ment to a youthful Hibernian, of excellent appear ance, character, and connections, bid defiance to the inclemency of the weather, and set off in a chaise and four, with Mr. FINCH, for Gretna- Green.
