They also give a fell 4rc "et of the law of succession, and thus salsify the story as to the deposing of the Em- P e ro'r CONSTANTINE in favour of his brother I ‘ 4I CHOLAS.

We know, from an authen tic source, that c uners arrived yesterday at the Hague from Berlin, bring "4B besides the accop.nt some particulars. His Majesty having tet3. returned to Taganrog, from inspecting the troops, was seized on the 2fith Nov. with an indisposition, which speedily proved to be a violent bilious fever, and an inflammation having ensued, de prived the empire of its Sovereign on the Ist December. The succession of the Grand Duke Constantine having been con-. firmed by the Emperor a short time before his death, the Grand Duke, who is still at Warsaw, has sent leis brother the Grand Duke Michael to St. Petersburgh to prepare for his arrival there as Emperor Constantine the First.—(Amsterdaria Courant.) EXCHANGE ON LONDON, DEC• ; two months, 39. 10. FRANKFORT, DEC. 16. We learn from Vienna that on the 19th of this month bonds of the old public debt, to the amount of nearly 5,400,000 florir s, were burnt in the usual manner. The whole amount redeemed since 1818 is about 44,400,000 florins. In another part of our Paper will be found several extracts from the Australian, a Journal lately published, for the first time in New South Wales. These extracts possess some degree of attraction, as they display the feeling with which the measures of the Colonial Government at home are regarded by that valuable► a►►d in- teresting portion, of our foreign possessions. These measures, it will be seen, to use a mild ex pression, have not given satisfaction, and the in terference of Lord BATHURST is looked upon with a suspicious eye, and as conducive to no good end. Without entering into this question be tween his Lordship and the Colonists very deeply, we may observe there seems something like reason in their complaints, and something which renders them well worthy of his con sideration. Of the establishment of the Court of Honour, spoken of in the first extract, we say nothing, because it effected but little either of harm or good, and It has now passed away, and will he most likely never resorted to again.— But bushranging, and the deficiency of the Police, are evils at this moment existing, and urgently requiring something to be done for the suppression of the former and the reformation of the latter. On both these subjects the Austra lian has been continually repeating its complaints, and no wonder when the loss the settlers expe rience from the perpetual depredations of Bush. rangers is considered. One measure, (viz. a re formation of the system of police), would remedy both these evils, and that at an. ex pence far less, and in a ma!aler more constitutional and more effectual, Oran can be expected from any augmentation of the military force of the colony. Nevertheless this last plan has been adopted, and an additional regiment sent out, which must by this time have arri'.ed. It is to be hoped our next accounts way bring us some intelligence of the activity of the military,in rendering the settlers more secure in their houses, and protecting their cattle and property from the depredations of the bushrangers ; and also of their doing something finally to suppress a practice so harassing and vexatious to the settler, and moreover so destruc tive in its effects. M I:ET I Isi G OF TILE CABINET.-Yesterday morn ing, after breakfast, the Earl of LivEaroor, left his country-seat at Combe-wood, near Kingston. Surrey, about ten o'clock, in his travelling chariot and pair, to proceed to London, to attend to the important business of the State, which has for some time past required his constant and in cessant attention. The Noble Ertl arrived at his house in Witehall, at eleven o'clock. During the day, the Noble , Earl received frequent communications from the Bank of England as to the proceedings of the day. The Secretary to the Treasury was in attendance upon the Noble Earl to transact official business. About twelve o'clock, Mr. Huskisson and Mr. Grant, the Pre sident rind Vice• President of the Board of Trade, attended the Noble Earl as Premier, and intro duced four gentlemen to him from the city, upon the important subject of commerce and trade : the subject to be discussed being of considerable importance, occupied their attention till past three o'clock. Afterwards the Earl of Liverpool had a long consultation with Viscount Melville, the Earl of Ilarrowby, and Mr. Secretary Peel. At a quarter before five o'clock, Mr. Thornton, the Bank Director, waited . upon the Earl of Liver pool, to report to his Lordship the proceedings of the day, which we understood was very favour able, and highly satisfactory, both 'to the Di rectors of the Bank of England, and to the Noble Earl who is at the head of the members of his • Majesty's Government. A very important order in Council, particularly os it respects I reland, VI e understand, was agreed upon on Tuesday by the King in Council, which was a regulation for the Icoinage of Ireland, to assimilate it to the c o ina g e i of England. - Five waggons were this day sent off from the Bank with fifteen tons of silver for exportation, supposed to he on account of Mr. ROTHSCHILD. This does not look like apprehension of any de ficiency as to one at least of the precious metals. We are sorry to observe a paragraph in the Dorset County Chronicle of Monday, that the Bank of Messrs. MANNING, BOWER, and M'LONG, at Weymouth, had not renewed their payments, for which, however, it was supposed they were making arrangements. Loan CocnnAms.—lt has been very confi dently rumoured in London, during the last few days, that Lord Cochrane is now on his way to Greece, and that by this time he must be consi derably advanced on his journey.

PARIS, DEC. c2l.—lt is said to-day that the Emperor ALEXANDER. died of a bilious fever and the quinsey, which developed itself a few days after the first attack of fever. Ilis indisposition commenced on the 15th of November, end on the first of December this illustrious Prince died. The law of the succession was the most important act of the reign of the Emperor Paul, and was published in 1797 at the time of his coro nation and has since been made a part of the Constitution of the Empire. By this law the crown devolves to the eldest son of the Em peror and his heirs male, and in default there of, to the second son and his male, and in default of males the fe►yales succeed accord ing to priority of birth. If the successor possesses a foreign Crown, he must abdicate the same before he takes that of Russia, and must also be of the religion of the Greek Church, otherwise the Crow►i passes to the person next in succession. In case of a minority the Monarch names a Regent, or if- not named the Empress Mother is the Regent by right, and in case of her death, the nearest relation. The majority is axed at 16 years. It appears that in the last seven years, from 1817 to 1823, the number of males born in France was 3,458,965, and of females 3,346,813, the first being to the second as sixteen to fifteen. —ln order to see if the climate made any difference, thirty of the most southerly departments have been taken sepa rately, and in three departments the number of males was 971,819, and of semales 910,755; the first being to the second as 16 to 15 ; and the result is, that climate has no influence on the birth of children. It is said that the conditions of the marriage of the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE with the Princess de Lowicz are the same as those of the King of PRUSSIA with the Princess de LaGNITz. She was not to participate in the honours of Sove reignty, and her children are not to inherit any right to the Crown. Madame CATALANi has set out from Paris for Florence. It is said, that the KING sent her 3,000 francs and a pair of diamond ear-rings, for the two Concerts which she had given at the L Theatre of the Court. THE FUNDS. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

( From the New Monthly Magazine. ) They grew in beauty, side by side, They fill'd one house with glee— Their graves are !leveed far and wide, By mount, and stream, and sea I The same fond mother bent at night O'er each fair sleeping brow, She had each folded flower in sight— Where are those dreamers now ? One, midst the forests of the west By a dark stream is laid ; The Indian knows his place of rest, Far in the cedar shade. . The sea, the blue lone sea, hath one, Ile lies where pearls lie deep ; He was the lov'd of all, yet none O'er his low bed may weep. One sleeps where southern vines are drtss'd Above the noble slain, He wrapt his colours round his breast, On a blood-red field of Spain. And one—o'er her the myrtle showers Its leaves, by soft winds fann'd, She faded 'midst Italian flowers, The last of that bright band. And parted thus, they rest who play'd Beneath the same green tree, Whose vices mingled as they pray'd Around one parent knee ! They that with smiles lit up the hall, And cheer'd with song the hearth— Alas for love, if thou wert And nought beyond, on earth ! F. H. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

ItATCLIFFE.—One evening as this excen tric Physician was enjoying his bottle at a tavern, a Gentleman came in haste and almost breath less, requesting he would come quickly to his wife who lay at the point of death. " Not till I have finished my bottle, however," said the Doctor. The Gentleman happening to be strong and athletic, finding entreaties useless, snatched up the Doctor and carried him off. Themoment lie set down his burthen, the enraged Doctor said emphatically to him, " Now, you rascal, I'll cure your wife in revenge." And he proved as good as his word. FATAL EFFECTS OF GAMlNG.—Another in stance has just occurred. The son of a respect able merchant, in Liverpool, was sent hither by his father, with a power of attorney, to receive a very considerable sum of money. Hav ing accomplished the object of his journey, the young man was induced to prolong his stay in the metropolis, as it was his first visit and all was new to him, and imprudently formed an acquaintance with one of those well dressed swindlers, who are ever on the watch to entrap the ignorant and unnal y. The natural consequences followed, dissipation and pleasure led to expence, and the money he had received was broken in upon ; then the gaming house was proposed to restore the sum wasted, when the first night success attended the unhappy victim, but the second lk.ft him without a shilling. In despair he tried to enlist for India, but was rejected as under size, then he retired to an obscure lodging in Oxford-road, where he subsisted by selling his clothes, &c. and at last his destitution and sickness was supported by the kindness and charity of his landlord. He refused to tell his father's name, till at length won by the benevolent attentions of some religious persons belonging to the Missionary institutions, he informed them respecting his friends. The father was written to, and he intantly started from Liverpool, having already suffered greatly from anxiety at the unaccountable absence of his son, and his total silence, and merely arrived in time to see him expired, for the sudden shock, and the effort the unhappy young man made to raise himself in bed to throw himself before his father, were too much for his exhausted frame. The grieved and af flicted father, overcome by the loss and creel fate of his beloved son, sunk under the blow, and was himself a corpse and consigned to the !narrow house a few weeks afterwards. BATH, DEC. 21. I lately announced to you the success which, attended the performance of Octavian by a Mr. PARKINS, whose name I have not seen mentioned as well-known on the boards of the London The. atre. Our Managers, I find, were so well satis fied with his performance as to induce them to require that he would attempt the part of Macbeth, and after some hesitation he complied. Considering this as a very bold adventure for one not known in the theatrical world, I attended his performance, and was very agreeably sur prised in finding that he sustained the part ‘4ith very great ability. I have not time, nor perhaps have you room, for all that could be said on th• subject. Suffice it to say that lie seemed fully to understand the author. There was force and simplicity in his acting. There was no affecta tion of grandeur in deportment, but he seemed' to act from feeling, and according to the situa tions in which the ambitious thane is involved. lie left upon us a very favourable impression of his merit, and with a persuasion that h. will soon make a figure on the London Boards.— The rest of the sublime tragedy was well sup ported. Mrs. BAILEY gave the part of Lady Macbeth, in a manner that would have procured her high estimation in your Capital, the boasted region of theatrical criticism. MONTAGUE was & very good Macduff, and the rest of the characters were creditably supported by HILL, COOKE, MATTHEWE, &c. Ste. The manner in which MATTHEW LOCKE'S beautiful music was per formed, demands very high eulogiums. It was correct, animated, bold and impressive, both instrumentally and vocally, and never could be better sustained in the Metropolis. YOUR OLD CORRESPONDENT. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

She was, on coming on shore, taken charge of by Lieutenant Edward Griffiths, of the Sussex coast blockade, the master and crew having taken to their boat ; and I am convinced that from the judicious ar. rangements adopted by him, the vessel was prevented- from falling off to sea, and thereby saved with her cargo. lie was ably seconded by Lieutenants Mott and Helby, of the tame establishment.

PRINTERS. — Another of the faolish combina tions in this part of the country has been broken up, namely, that of the journeymen printers.— This was one of the boldest of the associations; and, i►► the face of the law, did not hesitate to restrict the number of apprentices whlFh any master was to take. Having sent anonymous letters to intimidate apprentices, the leaders were about to be made to answer for the. offence before the Justices, when they assembled the members of the combination, who decided, by sixteen to nine votes, that the confederacy should be broken up.--(G lasgow Chronicle.) A GiscoN expressed his dread of the san guinary ROBESPIERRE in these words, " When ever I heard the name of ROBBSPI ERRE, I could not help taking off my hat to see if my head was in it." A little girl, five years of age, was equally fond of her mamma and grand mamma. On the birth day of the latter, her mother said to her, 46 My dear, you must pray God to Hess your grand mamma, and that she may live to be very old." The child looked with some surprize at her mother, who perceiving it, said, " Well, will you not pray to God to bless your grand mamma, and that she may become very old ?" " Ah, mamma I" said the child, 46 She is very old already ;I w ill `ratter pray that she may become young."
