Public is respectfully acquainted that the P::RFOR 3I - ANCE of JEAN HENRI is not the mere noisy and mono tonous beat of the Drum, but that he has raised it to a Mu sical Art, by playing on Fifteen differently toned.

He accompanies a full 31ilitary Band, ?tild goes through various unrivalled evolutions ; particularly, in beating.one rapid March, 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 in the Uniform he wore with the late Emperor at Elba, and will beat Napo- Vs Entry i n t o P ar i s , as per f orme d by him on that occasion.

We have inserted, in a Prec eding column, another able article from tbe Journal des Debuts, respecting the recognition of the South American States by this country, w hich is evidently the production of M. de Cii.t '?Aufl"IANn. The Nobl e W r it e r satisfactorily s9 ews that we have acted in strict consistency with the principles of justice and policy, and his eli setvatio ns on the cases in which Colonies ac quire th e right of emancipating themselves are Wt.ll founded and undeniable. We annex the other articles of news in the Paris Journals : [From the ]tfonitear of Sunday, Jan. 16.1 The Official p art conta i ns the promulgation of the law re ''llecting the Civil List, as adopted by the two Chambers. Also two Royal Ordinances ; the first relative to the contract made by a M. Sartoris, for finishing the canals, called that of the Duke of Angouleme, and that of the Ardennes : the second' rel ative to a L ead Mine Company at Chabrignac. ( From the .Etoile dated Jan. 17.) ST. PET ERSISLI null, DEC. 27. An Order of the Day issued on the 24th, contains very nume rous promotions in the army. The number of affairs which pass through the third section of the office of the Minister of Finance becoming more and tl tore consider a bl e, his Majesty the Emperor, by an Ukase of do 17th instant, has ordered that it shall take the name of (cSpecial Office for the Operations of Credit," and be compos ed of three sections, according to the regulation of the Ministry of Finance. The Chancellor of State Vronschensito, who acted as chief of that section, is appointed Director of the new office. The most distinguished inhabitants of Moscow gave, on the 7th inst., in the Saloon of the Club of the Nobility, a concert f 3 t the benefit of the sufferers by the inundation of the 19th of ,November; the receipts amounted to a very considerable sum. S everal of the nobility of both sexes performed in the concert, 43 . 1 t'e1l as many other amateurs, and the first professional per formers in Aloscow. PARIS, JAN. IQ. The Court will go into moprning on Tuesday next for three w eeks, on occasion of the death of his Majesty the King of the T ao Sicilies. The official journal of St. Domingo, the Courier Francais, Pretends to see a wise reserve on the part of President foyer, in his omission of the most important document among all thoie which he has just published—the Royal Ordinance which was communicated to Messrs. Rouanez and Laroze by the Mi nister of the Marine. Truly, that is a strange reserve which lays before the public the most insignificant documents,even letters of no importance, and omits precisely the very document which it would have been the most curious to know. What must be inferred from this is—and we have already said so—that this paper contained clauses favourable to the colonists—favourable even to the present inhabitants of St. Domingo; and that it was adverse only to the pretensions of Boyer and of the Haytian Government. This is what Boyer did not wish the inhabitants of Hayti to know. The Journal des D: bats has correspondents at Madrid and at Vienna, by whom it is equally deceived. How could the one send, it a long letter on pretended secret articles between France and Spain, and the other write that the Emperor of Austria had au thorised a Catholic community to become Protestant ? France and Spain have no need of secret articles between them, and the Emperor of Austria does not give such permissions. Two journals, it is evident with what view, say to-day that the Minister is going to withdraw the two projects of law on the indemnity and the renter, because the Chamber of Deputies disapproves of them. It is remarkable, on the contrary, that the two Committees appointed to examine the two projects, announce in the Cham ber the perfect agreement with the Government which the King desired in his speech from the throne. ( From the Courier Francais of Sunday. ) Pants, JAx. 15.—There is at present much obscurity in the diplomatic intrigues of which Lisbon is the centre. The Eng lish Journals; which have not so sttift, but d More certain means of communication with that capital, will not be long in bring ing to light those manoeuvres, which are ruined by being made public. It appears certain that Lisbon is the theatre of a sort of re volution ; that there has been a fierce struggle between the partizans of the Queen, and the defenders of the Government of John IV. ; and that, in consequence of these commotions, the King has assembled the Cortes. We have not yet any de tails of the circumstances and nature of these events, but such is the report that has been circulated in Paris for some days, and which has acquired too much credit to he altogether desti tute of truth. It is likewise added, that Government has re ceived certain notice on this head. We communicated yesterday the important in telligence that the Spanish General CANTERAC had been completely defeated by Bot.tvAa, and we are now enabled to give the substance of this information from a Mendoza Paper of the 25th October, brought to Liverpool by the Flora from Buenos Ayres, the arrival of which ship with this news we mentioned yesterday. The con test, it appears, was of the most sanguinary character, and the victory is decisive of the fate of South America : NEWS FROM PERU. Communicated from the city of Santiago by Senor Don Juan de Dios Vial del ltio, President of the Court of Appeals, in a letter to Don Rafael Ruiz de Arbulic, in the vicinity of the Andes : "SANTIAGO, OCTOBER 7. ," We have just received the news of the sanguinary battle which has been fought between Bolivar and Canterac, on the plains of Jauja, and which, in America, has never yet been equalled : it was contested for four hours with the bayonet. The loss of Bolivar amounts to 4,090 men; that of the enemy to 6,200. Bolivar had marched rapidly towards Cuzco, in order to fall upon the Viceroy Laserna, who was there in full security, not expecting him. Let us give thanks to God, to whom we owe all these advantages ! The ship which brought this news came from Callao, and we learn from her that the enemy's troops had abandoned Lima, and shut themselves up in Callao ; in con sequence of which, the people of Lima, in order to prevent the city from being quite sacked, had solicited the Commander of the English ship, Cambridge, to land 100 men to remain there, and protect them from their troublesome neighbours. " Every moment we expect intelligence from Truxillo, from whence we shall have the details. Canterac declared before the battle that he would 'give no quarter (la garrra a muerte), and Bolivar did the same, not so much by the wish of his army, as because it was necessary to follow the example of the enemy. This, without doubt, was the cause of the great slaughter, " JUAN DE Dzos DEL Rm." Retract of a Letter, dated Buenos Ayres, Nov. ht. " The mail from Chili brings intelligence of Bolivar having defeated the Spanish General Canterac—the former losing 4,000 men and the latter 6,200. The battle took place in Peru on the Plains of Jauja ; and when the news reached Lima, the Spanish troops that were in that city instantly retired to the fortress of Callao, leaving the rabble committing all manner of depredations, until the Captain of the Cambridge, 74, landed part of his crew, which had the desired effect of quelling the rioters, and protecting the lives and properties of the respect able citizens." Lisbon Gazettes to the 9th instant were re ceived this morning. They do not contain avy intelligence of the least political importance. It is not a little co mplimentary to the policy of this country, that the King of the NETHER LANDS has thought proper to imitate the example of our Government in entering into commercial connexions with the Republics of Mexico and Columbia. It is understood that these commer cial treaties will extend also to Buenos Ayres, Chili, and Brazil. This conduct on the part of the King of the NETHERLANDS shews that he is a vigilant and sagacious Monarch, and attends to the true interests of his country. Philadelphia Papers to the 23d December ar rived this morning, and furnish the following particulars of the gallant enterprise of the Co lombian Admiral Guist: against the Spanish ships in Callao. [Extract of a letter dattd on board the Colombianfrigate, Pro tector, in the Bay of Callao, July 17.] In my last I informed you of the brilliant action of Capt. Addison, who, with four boats and 50 volunteers, burnt and sunk six vessels, in cluding the Spanish frigkes Venganta and Santa Rosa, and drove them under the batteries of Callao, it being very remarkable that he per-' formed this service without losing a man. I have now the pleasure to announce to you, that on the Oth inst. Admiral Guise dispatched Captain Robertson, accompanied by Captain Fleiman, and Lieut. Sulmans of his vessel, with 125 men in nine boats, to take or destroy as many of the enemy's vessels as were in Callao. On entering the harbour the expedition was Op posed by more than 1000 soldiers and marines in the vessuls,and 1,500 artillerymen who manned the batteries of the castle, and kept up a tremendous tire on our men. Notwithstanding this they effected the object of the enterprise by destroy ing and taking the following vessels : The President, of 20 guns, burnt. Juanna Gordon, Flag ship, taken. Perla, formerly of Chili, takEn. A Brigantine, name unknown, taken. A large vessel, name unknown, burnt. The Protector, the Congress, and the Mace donia, were employed in diverting the attention of tlm batteries ; but all the fire of the latter were directed against the brave men charged with the destruction of the vessels. We yesterday noticed the Meeting of the Land-Owners and others at Axminster, on the subject of the proposed Ship Canal across the Isthmus of Somersetshire, to form a junction between the English and Bristol Channels. We observed that no previous notice was given of the Meeting, and that very few persons attended. We have made farther inquiries on the subject, and the result confirms the opinion which we yesterday expressed on the subject, viz. that if such a Meeting had been previously announced, the Resolutions which then passed would have been opposed by many persons of great weight and interest in the Country, who would have come forward with patriotic zeal in support of one of the most stupendous and important measures that ever were devised for tho im provement of our commerce and the safety of our gallant countrymen. The KING continues to reside at Carlton Palace, in perfect health. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Co lonial Departm.•nt, from the Governor, General Sir G. L. COLE, G. C. 8., at the Mau ritius. Yesterday the dispatches for St. Helena, Ben coolen, and China, by the ship Repulse, were closed at the East India House, and delivered to the Purser of that ship. _ _ It appears by letters lately received from Va lencia, that the Spanish Government has granted to an English commercial house. in that city . , (Messrs. O'SHEA and Co.), the 'privilege of lay ing down mooring-chains in the bay, which will he a great security to vessels in that port. A report was current yesterday,_ and has ob tained credit in the well-informed circles in the city, that the Turks have accepted the mediation of Austria to '.tittle their differences with the G ree ks.—( Times.) Captain FRANKLIN,• with the expedition for proceeding to the mouth of Mackenzie's River, sets off in a few days. They embark at Liver pool for New York, from whence they go to Kingston, Upper Canada. Mr. PLUNKETT means, early in the next Ses sion of Parliament, to make a motion'to place the nomination of Sheriffs in other hands than those in which it is at present vested. This, in Corpo rate Cities and Boroughs, would be a most 'de sirable object. Among the on Bits of the literary world is one that marks the kind-heartedneSs of Sir WALTER Scorn. It is said, that upon hearing of the pre mature death of the late Rev. C. MATuntN, and learning that he had left a widow but ill provided for, and some unpublished manuscripts, Sir WAL TER. wrote to the unfortunate Lady a letter of condolence, in which, among other kind expres sions of respect for the genius of the departed Author, he gratuitously offered his editorial ser . vices, for the purpose of giving those works to the world in a form the most likely to be productive to her of profit. MR. SPENCER BRAIIAM.—Our Readers will recollect that this young Gentleman, for whom so great a degree of interest was manifested by the Public at the time of his mother's death, the late Madame SToaAcr., and who, iu consequence of the supposed loss of her Will, has been deprived of time whole of that property which he had every reason to expect from her, is about to bring be fore the Spiritual Courts the whole of a case, by which, it is said, a series of circumstances the most distressing as well as interesting will be de veloped, which has hitherto so strangely depriv ed him of this considerable property. EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE.—The following re markable case of suicide is taken from a French Journal :—" An officer, only 27 years of age, who followed his regiment on the road to Ville frauche, asked to purchase some straw of a wo man along the road. Finding it too dear - , he went into a field, collected the stubble, and set it on fire. Some peasants observed him from a dis tance stripping off his clothes, and imagined that he meant to dry them ; but they saw him turn several times round the blazing stubble, heap it together, throw his garments into the fire, and at last himself. They immediately ran to the spot, and drew him out before he had been in two minutes, but he had expired. A flame of dazzling whiteness rose over his body, and seemed scarce ly to touch it. No particulars had been discovered to explain the cause of this melan choly catastrophe, which seemed to have been accomplished with all the determination of llindoo spirit." FASHIONABLE CHANGES. The Earl of Plymouth, from his seat, Ingestrie-park, for his hunting-lodge ' ' Melton-Mowbray • Captain Spiller, of the 94th Regiment of Foot, for Gibraltar; Lord Tullamore, from town, on a tour; Mr. Henry Smyth, for Derbyshire; Captain and Mrs. Herbert, from Cheltenham, for 'lath ; Major Lard ner, from Brighton, for Bath ; Rev.

Beckford, in Manchester-square, from Essex. CHELTENHAM, JAN. 17.—The Earl and Countess of Liver pool and suite arrived in Cheltenham on Friday, on their route from Bath to Oxford. Our distinguished Premier was greeted on his arrival by a merry peal from our church bells. On Sa turday the Earl and suite left us for Oxford.—( Cheltenham Journal.) BATH, JAN. 17.—The Season of Bath has now assumed its wonted gaiety : the town is fall of fashionable visitors ; its streets are crowded with the elegant and the fascinating, and thelodging-housekeepers have no complaint of dullness of the season : but, on the contrary, if any it must be that of unceas ing activity and bustle. COLCHESTgII, JAN.l7.—The Christmas Ball, at the Three Cups, on the 10th inst., Robert A. Crickett, Esq. and Joseph Green Round, Esq. Stewards, was attended by upwards of 80 persons, copsisting of all the principal families of the town and neighbourhood. Dancing was kept up with great spirit until three o'clock a. m., when the company retired, much pleased • with the amusement of the evening, and gratified by the polite attention of the Stewards. • ' .., , 1 - '" ... . : 1- ~ ,, , ,e. , ....„ : „. . . k... -- ,:vp- .. 4, ,i c.r.,, Fr . ) 1 0 ,. .... •r , ' •,.• ii , 1 4 h'',T0104,07 .

STAG i I UNT.—lllonday the favourite stag Sailor, late the property of Lord Glamis, who hunted him very successfully last season, was again turned clown before eight couple of hounds, at Mr. farm, in Chignell , who entertained his hunting friends with an excellent and sporting-like breakfast; after which, precisely at eleven o'clock, the chase commenced, and at the end of a severe run of 58 minutes, during which time the stag completely recovered the laurels he lost on the Monday preceding, lie was . taken in the river at Ransford Bridge, near Writtle Lodge ' • and we are well informed that the condition of the stag, from the attention of Mr. Crooks's trainer, is fast im proving, and promises great diversion during the remainder of the season, to the very numerous sporting-like men in the neighbourhood. On Saturday last Mr. Tufnell's harriers found a very game hare at Boyton Hall Spring, which went away to Roxwell, and then headed to the left to Writtle • from thence to Chignell Smealey, and ultimately to Great Waltham ; when, after run. ing through five parishes, she died before the hounds, in conse quence of the severity of the chace ; and out of a numerous field of sportsmen, hut three horses were up at the death.—The distance is supposed to be between ten and eleven miles, and was run within the hour. PEDESTa lAN issr.—Brown, the Wiltshire Pedestrian, start ed at five minutes after four o'clock on Wednesday morning last, to go sixty-two miles in twelve successive hours, the ground being accurately measured into half miles, on the Whiteparish road. He did the first twenty miles in three hours, then stopt at the White Hart half an hour, and breakfasted ; and completed the undertaking, after stopping one hour and an half, with fifteen minutes to spare. CATHOLIC CEHEMONIES.—The celebrated ceremony of opening the Sacred Gate at Rome, was performed with great pomp and solemnity, at the 20th hour, on Christmas eve. His Holiness, with a numerous and splendid retinue, and accompanied by the Swiss Guard, proceeded from the Vatican Palace, and arrived in the vestibule of the Basilica, where he alighted from the seat on which he had been borne, under a splendid canopy, supported by the Apostolic Referendaries. and ascended the throne ; Cardinals Caenoprotti and Vidone officiat ing as deacons : 18 other Cardinals were present. All the at tendants having taken their places, his - Holiness received the silver hammer from Cardinal Carliglioni, and three times struck the wall of the sacred gate, where the holy cross is delineated, his Holiness singing three verses, to which the pontifical chanters responded. His Holiness having given back the hammer, re turned to the throne, and giving the signal, the whole of the sacred gate fell. The Holy Father, after some prayers, placed himself before it, received from the ardinals (acting as deacons) the cross and the taper, and began the Te Deans landa.' mu: ; and immediately, besides the sound of the bells of all the churches in Rome, which had been ringing for two hours, the signal being given by the trumpets in the portico of the church, the Swiss Guard, and the Artillery of the Castle of St. Angelo, fired a grand salute. The supreme Pon tiff then entered first, and alone, the Sacred Temple, followed by all the Cardinals, two by two; the Patriarchs, Archbishops, Bishops, Prelates, and Penitentiaries, all bearing lighted tapers, and by the Princes and persons of distinction who were present, who kissed the Sacred Gate as they entered it. His Holiness having seated himself by the altar of the Chapel of Piety, the Knights of St Peter and St. Paul were introduced, whom he charged to guard the gates of the four Basilicas, and afterwards permitted them to kiss his foot The sa cred ceremony concluded with the triple benediction which the supreme Pontiff bestowed on the immense multitude who crowded that vast church. A vast number of persons of distinction and of every nation attended with great devotion the holy ceremony. Among them were the Dowager Queen of Sardinia, and : the two Princesses, her daughters; the Duke of Lucca, with his consort and his sister • the diplomatic body, and ninny princesses and ladies, both Romans and foreigners ; so that, from the solemn and dignified manner in which the Pope opened the sacred gate, and the devout behaviour of all present, the ceremony was truly pious and august. • MURDER AT WIMBLEDON.-Last week an at tack was made by a pauper of the above workhouse, named Milliss, upon two others, named Fuller and Appleton, and which has ultimately proved fatal to the former. It appears that the three paupers slept in the same bed on the night of the 11th instant. When Milliss and Appleton were in bed, and Fuller was preparing for rest, Milliss started up and said " That's all I wanted," and attacked Fuller, who cried out, and got away. Milliss then turned round, and cut Appleton across the head : Appleton attempted to wrest the weapon from Milliss's hand, and in so doing his hands were much cut; several persons, who were alarmed by the cries, came to his assistance, and secured Milliss. In the mean time Mr. Sand ford, the surgeon, was called to attend the wounded man. Fuller had received a violent thrust in the groin from a knife, and to such an extent as to cause a protrusion of his entrails ; there was also another cross wound but that was very little more than skin-deep, the larger wound was closed, but the Unfortunate man lingered until Thursday morning, and then died. The surgeon who examined the body, found the intestines lacerated in two or three places. Appleton's wounds, which he received on the head and on his hands, were not dangerous, and he is speedily recovering.— Appleton and .T,lteral other paupers were examined by the Magistrates respecting this horrid affair. Appleton said, that a few days before it took place Milliss threatened that if he had a knife he would stab him. This threat he had once before made use of. Ile is a man much subject to fits.— On Friday an Inquest was held on the body of Fuller before Mr. Jr MME 's T, the Coroner. The testimony of Appleton, and the other paupers who came to his assistance, were given, and a verdict returned—" That the deceased, Wm. Fuller, came to his death through wounds inflicted with a knife by R. Milliss."—The Magistrate has committed him for trial on the two charges, viz. for the wilful murder of Fuller, and for cut ting and maiming Appleton, with intent to do him some bodily harm. The prisoner has been conveyed to Ilorsemonger-lane Gaol for trial at the next Assizes. DISTRESSING AND FATAL ACCIDENT.--OD Mon day last, as Mr. Nathan Horn, sen. was driving his daughter, Mrs. Kennicott, and her little girl, a child five years old, towards their house at Motlkwearmouth, in a pony gig, the pony became suddenly restive and set off at full speed.— the gig was over turned, and the parties w e re thrown upon the p a vement with great violence. Mr. Horn pitched upon his head, fractured his skull, and after lingerin g till W e d n esd a y night. expired. Mrs. Kennicott was very severely bruised, and the child had its collar bone broken. It is rather an extraordi nary circumstance, that some years ago Mr. Horn had his skull fractured, and then suffered the distressing operation of tre pan ; his recovery at that time was considered extremely pre carious. He was a Gentleman of quiet and unassuming demeanour, by long habits of successful industry had acquired a considerable fortune. This melancholy event has thrown a gloom upon the town of Sunderland, where Mr. Horn was wel known and respected for half a century.—Durham, Jan. 17. OLD BAILEY SESSIONS.
