ENGLISH OPERA-110USE, STRAND. EARN 11 EN RI, Tambour-Major to Napo leon, will have the honour of Performing (for the first tune in this Country) on MONDAY NEXT, January 24th. --The Public is respectfully acquainted that the PERFORM ANCE of JEAN HENRI is not the mere noisy and mono tonous beat of the Drum, but that he has raised it to a Alu sical Art, by playing on Fifteen differently toned Drums, in a soft and harmonious style, at one time forming a novel and complete Instrument. He accompanies a full Military Band, and goes through various unrivalled evolutions; particularly, in beating one rapid Match, he causes 28 Drumsticks to fly in the air in all directions, catching them in a peculiar manner under his arms and legs. He will be dressed kit the Uniform lie wore with the late Emperor at Elba, and will beat Napo leon's Entry into Paris, as performed by him on that occasion. Ile plays on his various Drums, passing from one to the other with, such astonishing rapidity that the eye of the spectator can scarcely follow his hands. The whole performance has been greatly admired on the Continent, at ail the principal Courts, and, lastly, honoured with the approbation of his Majesty the King of Prussia.—Doors open at Half-past 7, begin at 8.

SOLER RUES DIOERE FALSUit AULIP.AT LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JAN. '2'2, 1825. Th e most important intelligence communicated by the Paris Papers of Wednesday relate to the affairs of the Greeks, which we have given in a separate article. It is evident that the persons *lto detail the particulars of the revolt of COLO COTRONI, and the unhappy dissensions existing among the military Chiefs, do not in consequence feel any alarm as to the safety of Greece ; and there is every reason to suppose thnt these civil broils will be put an end to by the convocation cd . a new General Congress for the adjustment of all rights and interests, and that the rebellious COLOCOTRONI and his adherents, if they have trot already submitted to the Executive Govern ment, Hill be speedily reduced to subjection. From this lamentable picture it is gratiying to turn our attention to the naval operations of the Greeks against the Turco-Egyptian fleet Wider IBRAHIM PACHA, which have been crowned with complete success. It will be re collected that Inu.Antst PAcnA, after his defeat in the waters of Candia, returned to his former anchorage in the Bay of Macri. It now appears that he left that station ou the 24th of Novem ber, of which immediate information was con vPyed to the Greek Admiral IMIAuLts by one of hiS look-out squadron, who immediately pursued the enemy with the whole of his fleet, and came uP with him about noon on the 25th. The Greeks broke the Egyptian line at the first at tack, entirely defeated the enemy, and was ac tively following up the victory by pursuing the fleet of IBRAHIM VACUA, which was steering towards Alexandria in the utmost disorder. So completely crippled have been the Egyptian naval succours, that it is thought the Paella of EGYPT will retire from the contest ; and being now convinced of the weakness of the SULTAN, that he will soon declare his long-meditated intention of shaking off the Ottoman yoke, and re-establishing the independence of his country. The Moniteur announces that the Count de la PUEBLA had presented his credentials as Ambas sador for his CATHOLIC MAJESTY to the Court of France, and that Mr. Bnowst, the Minister of the United States, had also presented : Ist. The answer to the notification of the death of Louts XVIII.; and, 2dly. Ills new credentials as En voy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary. The same Jouraal announces that M. HYDE de, NeuvELLE, the French Ambassador at Lisbon, had landed at Brest on his return to Paris, where he was expected to arrive on Wednesday. The recognition of the South American States is still discessed with warmth by the French po liticians. The Eloile, dated Thursday, contains another long article in reply to the Oppositio►► Journals, which, it says, have written much, and will write more, on the conclusion of treaties of commerce by Great Britain with Colombia and Mexico. It has acknowledged, the Eloile says, that this recognition was a serious step, and it has examined the consequences, commercial and political, that it was likely to produce. It remains to be examined how this new act of English diplomacy may have really changed the situation of France. First, it says, this act was not unforeseen, and that the proceedings in Parliament had prepared Europe for it. France, bound to protect its commerce, conclud ed a treaty with Ferdinand, opening the ports of the Spanish Colonies to French merchants. French trade is protected by its men of war, and has been constantly respected in the seas that wash the fifteen hundred leagues of the South American coast. None of the treaties about to be concluded by England can stipulate the ex clusion of the French commerce, therefore Eng land can derive no additional advantage from them ; and it does not appear that the United States, which recognised the Republic eighteen months ago, have derived any greater advantage from so doing than England, which has not yet imitated them in that point. The Etoile acknow ledges that the superior maritime force of Eng land, its skill in manufactures and in the me chanical arts, and its wealth, will give it great advantages, but does not think they will be en hanced by this new act. If the Opposition will find fault, says the writer, let them accuse Spain, which receives the vessels of the United States into its ports, though the United States has long recognised the inde pendence of the Colonies ; let thorn accuse Russia, Austria, and Prussia, which remains at peace with Great Britain, but let them not accuse their own country only. 'l'l►Qy would probably blame in much stronger terms the King's Government, if it were to precipitate France into the chances of a war, which would endanger the repose of the world without securing to the Kiug of Spain the possession of his Colonies.

The Gazela de Columbia of the 7th Novernbe r arrived yesterday, and gives the following intel ligence from the Army of Peru : " The Intendant-General at Guayaquil, under date of the 29th of September, communicates that on the preceding day a vessel arrived at Guanchaco, after a voyage of six days, with news that at the period of her sailing an extraordinary courier had arrived there from the Liberating Army, with intelligence of a victory gained by the President (Bolivar) on the Apu rimac, the result of which has been a loss to Canterac of 11)00 men." This account agrees in substance n ith the po sition of BOLIVAR'S army, as described in the last arrivals from Buenos Ayres, the river Apurimac running through that country which lay between him and Cusco, to which city he was said to he advancing; and it is much more likely to be true than the account circulated yesterday of the de feat of BorAvAn, on the 17th September, near The only article worth extracting from Frank fort Papers to the 15th instant, which arrived this morning, is one from Stockholm, which we subjoin : STOCKHOLM, DEC. 31. Some Foreign Journals, for instance the Morning Chronicle of the 15th of this month, contain an article from Frankfort, dated the 4th instant, relative to the supposed causes of the return of his Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Sweden, which account is founded on data evidently false. The office of Viceroy of Norway, which, according to the Constitution, can be held by the presumptive heir to the throne, and the patermd system of Government constantly followed by the King, with respect to the Norwegians, are sufficiently powerful reasons for sending his Royal Highness to that kingdom without any ground for officious speculators to add others. The same may be said of the influence which the Prince was to exercise over the supposed leading members of the last Storthing. The proposals of the King to that Assem bly being open and frank, required no other support than that of reflection and time. The adjournment of the most important question of all, that of the Veto, will doubtless prepare for it a better reception dictated by the good of the country. But the best proof that there has been no wish to influence the conviction of any body is, that the question has really been deferred. As for the idea of immediately convoking a new Storthing, it never had any existence except in the head of the author of the article from Frankfort. The return of his Royal Highness to Sweden, which was determined upon before he set out for Norway, could not therefore be retarded or accelerated by the issue of the deliberations of the Legislative Assembly. Very important affairs, the preparatory discussion of which his Majesty had confided to his august Son, before they were laid before his Majesty for his decision, rendered the presence of the Prince necessary in Sweden, and the only sensation which his recal e xcited there, was joy at seeing him again. THE ARMY. It is now confidently asserted, that the augmentation for the Army in India will amount, at the least, to 5,000 men and that still further augmentations will be ordered immediately. The 65th Regiment of Foot has been ordered to march from Birr to Athlone. PAY m.tsTEns' ITALF-PaY.—The following Regulations, relative to the - half-pay of retiring Paymasters, have, it is said, been recently adopted the Paymaster has originally been a half-pay Lieutenant, and has not served six years as a Pay master, he is to be r►ted on the half-pay Irons which he came ; unless he has been wounded, or is otherwise infirm, so as to in capacitate him from further service. On the other hand, a Paymaster who has served six years, but retires from infirmity, is entitled to the full half-pay of Paymaster, without regard to the rank from which he was taken. MAJOR-GENERAL LORD MUSSERRY.—The late Major- General Lord Musketry entered the service on the 31st of December, 1793, as an Ensign in the 12th Regiment of Foot. He was appointed-on the 18th of May, 1794, Lieu tenant in the 94th Regiment of Infantry, .and obtained on the 22d of May, 1794, a Company in the same Corps. Captain Muskerry was appointed on the 23d of December, 1795, to the 38th Foot, was made on the 25th September, 1803, Brevet- Major, and on the Bth February, 1807, obtained his Majority. He was made on the 2d October, 1808. Lieutenant-Colonel by Brevet, appointed on the 12th of August, 11119, Lieutenant- Colonel, and on the 4th of June, 1814, Colonel in the Army.— He obtained, on the 19th of July, 1821, the rank of Major- General. Ile sold out in 1823. We understand that Mr. N. M. Ito•ruscnrr.o has contracted with Govermnent tor working the Mines on the Crown Lands in South Wales ; and with Sir 11. MIDDLETON for working those on his estates which have not been worked for a length of time. Thu latter mines consist of lead, copper, and tin, and those on the Crown Lands will, it is supposed, produce the same metals. We can not but regard this enterprize as the most bene ficial and productive mode of employing 13ritisli capital, both to the nation and to individuals: . . Private letters from Gibraltar to the 3d of January, state, that business was increasing there considerably, and that the demand for British cottons was brisk. These letters confirm the fact of the Spanish Government having determined to repeal the prohibitory regulations by which the importations of British cottons was pro hibited in Spain, and hence arose the in creasing demand for these goods. It had been decided by the Spanish Ministry, that the articles in question should be admitted %vithin the Spanish ports by paying a duty of 20 per cent. if imported in Spanish bottoms, and of 50 per cent, if in those of foreign nations. The trade for wheat remained much as at the previous advises, and the quotation for Sicily hard wheat was 30s. to 325. per quarter. . . Letters received yesterday from Naples con firm the account of the death of his Majesty the King of the Two Sicilies. It occurred on the 4th instant. The King had been indisposed with a cold, but not seriously, for several days pre ceding, and on the morning of the 4th vas found dead in his bed. We learn, by letters from Kingston, Jamaica, dated early in December, that it is in contempla tion, on the part of the planters, to petition the British Parliament for a compensation in money on account of the losses sustained by the late in surrections of the negroes. The Duke of CLAittotoE yjoited the KING yes terday. Yesterday the Right lion. Sir Cn kKLES LONG had an audience of the KING. The Duke of CLARENCE came to town yester day morning, from his residence at Bushy. His Royal Highness returned to Bushy in the after noon. Yesterday afternoon the CIIA74CELLOR of the EXCIIiQUEIL left his residence in Downing-street for Beckenham. Mr. Secretary CANNING transacted business at the Foreign Office yesterday. Count FEMI.I.ND, Peer of France, Member of he French Academy, and Minister of State, died on Monday between twelve and one o'clock.

Lord DcEanuasr, was shooting; with a party at Lord FoLEy's, on Saturday last ; a shot acci dentally entered the eye-lid, and occasioned a considerable effusion of blood over the whole of the eye-lid, but the sight of the eye has escaped altogether from injury, and his Lordship's speedy recovery is anticipated. Among the party at Witley Court, were Lord Avanley and Mr. De Roos.—(lVoiceskr Journal.) THEATRE, REENWICIL-Master BURKE has been delighting the inhabitants of Greenwich and its neighbourhood for the last week by his per formances. He has been most successful, and such was his attraction that families who have beer, residing upwards of twenty years at Black heath, and who have never during that time seen the inside of the Theatre, came to witness his performances. Ile had his benefit on Tuesday, and though the evening was very unfavourable, the house was most brilliantly and fashionably attended. We understand he is to appear very shortly at Brighton, where, we have no doubt, lie %%ill be equally attractive. We also witnessed with much pleasure the rising genius and very Lady-like performance of a Miss SomstEits, who made her third appearance at Master BURK C 5 benefit. There is no doubt but this young Lady will prove a valuable acquisition to the pro fession.

The Noble Lord, at his charming villa, at Twickenham, it making preparations to entertain a royal party, and an at tendant suite; and, as the entertainment will display all the discriminating taste of the banquets of Mount Edgcumbe in eurly times, much curiosity has been excited. FASHIONABLE PARTIES. The Right Honourable the Lord Mayor has invited his Ma jesty's Ministers, Great Officers of State, and a distinguished party of the Nubility, to dinner, at the Mansion House, on Fri day next. Mrs. General Maitland gave a children's' hall, in Bryan stone-square, on Wednesday night, in a style of the most bril liant splendour.—The drawing-room, the boudoir, the vestibule, the great staircase, and the banqueting-room, were all lighted up with a peculiar effulgence. The dancing commenced at half-past nine, and concluded at half-past three. The supper was laid out with great taste. About one hundred and fifty were present.---A Christmas fete, upon a smaller scale, was given the same evening, in Baker-street, by the Hun. Mrs. Barnard. BAL FRANCOIS. The Argyll Rooms — ;vere;iiroW;(iien on Thursday night to a French Ball, under very distinguished patronage. The Company commenced arriving soon after eleven o'clock, but the carriages did not cease setting down until a very late hour. We have seldom witnessed an entertainment con ducted on a scale of greater liberality, or a more refined judgment. It combined all that was gratifying to the taste and alluring to the scene—the presence of beauty, rank, and fashion—and refreshments of the choicest and most luxurious kinds spread in a style of unexampled profusion. _Quadrilles and Waltzes commenced at twelve, and most of the distinguished persons present joined in their graceful and fascinating movements; and during the intervals of repose, the eye was amused and the interest of the scene kept up by groupes of the female Corps de Ballet, who performed several beautiful Quadrilles in a delightful manner. The new Qua drille " A-la-Russe," and the Waltz " lrlandois," were particularly admired.-- At two the supper rooms were thrown open, and the company partook of a splendid enter tainment, in which every delicacy of the season was pro vided, with wines of the most costly description. Af ter supper, dancing was resumed with increased spirit Among the distinguished Company we noticed—The Hon. Mrs. Coventry, Lady Mary Stanhope, Lady Jane Cole, Mrs. Fitzroy Harding, the Hon. Mrs. Haigh, Lady Eleanor Stop ord, Madam Rutilliac, Mrs. Harvey, Lady Jane Carey, Mrs. Wilson, and several other Ladies of distinction. The Catch Club met, for the first time this season, at the Thatched house Tavern, on Wednesday evening, Sir William De Crespigny, Hart., ,11. P., in the Chair. Sir G.

Lord Burghers!' has concluded his Concerts at Florence for the season. The Noble Lord, however, continues to give splendid balls, to which roost of the respectable foreigners in Tuscany are invited. Lord Burghersh is particularly attentive to the English. P 0 E T It Y . On the PORTRAIT of Mrs. N. M.

MEETING GF THE CATHOLICS AT NEWCASTLE uroN_TyNL—The Tyne Mercury of the 18th inst. contains the folluwing paragraph :—" On Thursday last, a meeting of the Catholicsof Newcastle, and the adjoinikg Counties, was held at Fletcher's Long Room in this town, when it was determined to form a Society under the title of " The Catholic Association of the Counties of Northumberland, Durham, and Newcastle upon-Tyne," for the purpose of obtaining by all legal means the Restoration of their Co:istitutional !tights." _ _ . _ _ . _ _ _ . . Do Elt, J A rri ved hiMajesty's pa cket Spitfire, with General DOYLE and passengers, from Calais. In consequence of the late boisterous weather no packet has been able to reach Ostend. Sir ROBERT WILSON and suite have been detained there some days, from the want of a vessel capacious enough to take his carriage. Sailed his Majesty's packet Fury, with the mail and passengers, for Calais, amongst whom were the Countess of ABERDEEN, and Lady HARRIET and Sir CHARLES GORDON. A smack (name unknown) snnk in the gale on Tuesday off Dungeness, and all hands perished. The Success, of Plymouth, also went clown ; crew saved. On Tuesday last a very remarkable circum stance took place on the High-street of Brechin. As Captain ALEXANDER THOMSON, of his Ma jesty's 46 t h R e giment, was in conversation with a gentleman on some business, an infuriated cow came running behind him, and placing one of her horns behind his legs, threw him 10 or 12 feet from the ground. In consequence of the fall, he was slightly wounded, and had one of his arms bruised.—(Edinburgh Star.) MERCANTILE SHIPPING. DEAL, JAR. 21.—Wind N.N.E., fresh breezes.—The Hon. Company's ships Hyth and Repulse, with the whole of the out ward-bound, sailed this morning. The Britannia, Evans, for St. Kitt's, ran on board the Amity, Johnson, for Bombay, and sprung the bowsprit of the latter ; the Britannia proceeded apparently without damage. The Briton, Martin, from Sierra Leone, and a bark, homeward-bound, remain. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 21.—Wind N.k., strong breezes.— Sailed the lion. Company's ship General Kyd, Nairne, for Bengal and China ; Lady Campbell, Irvin, for Madtas and Bengal; Julius Ciesar, Stafford, for Carthagena ; H ector , Mitchell, for New York : and the Jane, Riddle, for Madeira. FALMOUTH, JAN. 20.—Wind N.N.W.—Arrived the Dutch brig Three Sisters, Rollin, from Antwerp for Rio Janeiro, leaky. Sailed the Dickens, Proctor, for :Naples. LIVERPOOL, JAN. N.—Wind N.N.W.—Arrived the Pa ragon, Chaddick, from Charleston. The William Wise, from Demerara, reported yesterday on shore on Hoyle Bank, had gone to pieces; crew sawed; part of the cargo has been washed on shore. The Ardent, Davies, for Maranh.im, is - puttiug back, with loss of rudder; a steam-boat has been sent, to her assistance: she has since gone on shore under 3lockbeggar. A schooner (name unknown) is sunk on Hoyle Bank. The Hercules, Decker, from Hamburgh to New Orleans, was driven on shore at Amram about the the 2d instant; part of the cargo expected to be saved. The Camperdown, Raisbeck, from Riga to London, was► on shore near I)rogoe the 30th November, and had thrown part of her cargo overboard. The Aram, Trist, bound to London, was driven on shore at Copenhagen the 20th ult. The East India Company's ship Thames arrived at Anjeer on her way to Chins, on the 6th August, all well. • THE STORNAwAY PACKET.—About a mcnth ago we men tinned that serious apprehensions were entertained for the safety of this vessel, which sailed from Poolewe, on the Mainland, for Stornaway, about the middle of November, and disap peared in a storm which commenced on the day she left port. So general was the impression in the Lewis that she had foundered at sea, and all on board perishek, that the relatives of the passengers, several of them respectable individuals belong ing to the island assumed mourning, looking upon their loss as certain. The Rev. Fraser, of Stornaway, was one of those supposed to have gone down with the vessel, and on the pre sumption that the parish was vacant, a new Minister, the Rm . ' J. Cameron, has actually been appointed in his stead by the Crown, j as appears from an extract from the London Gazette of Saturday se'nnight, inserted in our last paper. We are now happy to have it in our power to state the singular and gratifying fact that strong hopes are entertained that the packet weathered the gale in which she was supposed to have been lost. A letter has been received in town, stating that she had been driven to tile northward in the first instance, and ultimately to the coast of Holland (Norway, we should rather suppose) ; and in the Inverness Courier of Thursday last, we find that a report prevailed there that she arrived at Stromness, all well, on her homeward voyage. It is said that when she weathered Cape Wrath, she was so dismantled by the storm, that every stitch of canvas was torn to tatters. This in some measure ac counts for her extraordinary trip.-4 Edinburgh Observer.) HUNTING INTELLIGENCE. NEP:TINOS OP BOUNDS IN THE E NSUING WEEK.
