THE HAGUE, JAN. 27.—We are officially re quested to publish the following : "A decision of thr Council of the Empire (Russia),taken at the instance of the Minister of Finance, and approved by his Mijesty the Emperor, authorizes that Minister to take beforehand suitable measures for the issue of new coupons for the bonds of the second loan at 5 per cent., the last of which becomes due in March, 1834. The holders of the bonds of the said loan are in consequence informed, that from and after the month of October of the present year 1833, the commissioners of arrondisse ments will deliver 24 new coupons for each of these bonds on the exhibition of the original document. The time allotted for the delivery of the bonds and the issue of the n-w coupons is 18 months, conformable to that prescribed by the supplementary regulation of the commission of the 9'h of July, 1829, for renewing lost bonds of the commission." " NOTICE. " The commissioners of liquidation at Minsk, esta blished in the chief town of that government, having, according to the rules sanctioned by his Majesty the Em • peror on the 28th of June, 1832, opened its sittings on the 18th of January, 1833, informs the inhabitants of Russia and of the kingdom of Poland, and all persons livmg in foreign countries whom it may concern--Ist, That according to the sentence of the commission of liquidation of the government of Minsk, delivered on the 31st of December, 1832, the real and personal property, capital, and all property in general, belonging to the fol lowing persons, who took part in the insurrection in Poland, have been actually sequestrated and confiscated.

" The creditors residing in Russia or Poland are to ex hibit the documents which substantiate their claims within six months, and those in foreign countries within twelve months from the first publicaton of this notice in the journals of St. Petersburgh, Moscow, or Warsaw, or in the Courier of Lithuania. Debtors are also to present themselves with the amount of what they owe. All persons having in their possession any property or title deeds belonging to these individuals are to deliver them to the commissioners within six months." THE HAGUE, JAN. 28.—We are sorry to state that ti:e waters have again risen, after the late fall ; they had once more subsided, and in the accounts received yester day hopes were expressed that they would continue to fall. Unfortunately, this hope has not been realized, for by the accounts of this morning the waters are once more rising. In consequence of this state of things, the officers of the water-straats, inspectors of canals, dikes, sluice., &c., are ordered to ren;.ir to their respective stations.

The Prince of Orange and his son Prince Au gustus of Wirtemberg and Prince Peter of Oldenhurgh, the Ministers of the Council of , he Empire, the Members, Sentvors, the Generals and Officers of the Guard and of the army, and many persons of distinction of both sexes, were present at the ceremony, and had afterwards the honour of kissing the hands of her Majesty the Empress and of the Grand Duchess Helen. The members of the Diplomatic Body had also the honour, after mass, of pay ing their compliments to their Imperial Majesties.

BERLIN, JAW. 17.—1 n order to revive the commerce of Esst and West Prussia which bail severely suffered by the rigorous prohibitory spatem of Russia, our Govern ment wished to conclude a commercial treaty with Russia, and with that view sent M. Semmlen, Counsellor of Finance to Petersburgh. This gentleman succeeded in arranging the bases of a convention highly advantaztous to those provinces of Prus sia. The negotiatios were nearly concluded and the p:ussiAn Plenipotentiaries already recalled, when the Russian Government, as we hear, drew back. VIENNA, JAN. 18.—It appears from the official lists that the population of Vienna, exclusive of the military and strangers, is 319,873. The number of persons holding offices is 5,000. There are 30,000 servants of both sexes. The number of mercantile houses is 880, not in cluding tie retail dealers in various articles in the suburbs. —Frankfort Papers, Jan. 25. BERLIN, Jaw. 20. The Congress of Vienna intends to introduce a very vigorous surveillance of the press, %bleb js to be exercised throughout the Confederation by a com mission which is to act upon principles plainly and dis tinctly laid down. When the sale of any specific books is interdicted in any one of the States, the Committee is to be authorised to extend the prohibition to all the others, but the authors and publishers are to have a right of appeal to a supreme college of censorship, which is to be established for all Germany. The attendance at Vienna of the Dutch Ambassador, Baron Verstolk Van Soelen, has for its principal object the question of Luxemburg, and the ap plication from the King of Holland and several of the northern Courts to the German Confederation, not under any circumstances to consent to a division or cession of that Duchy to Belgium. On the other hand, Holland would be disposed to favour the commercial system of Germany. It would consider particularly in another point of view the question of the Rhine and of the navi gation, and would admit more or less the interpetration put by Germany upon the provisions relating to the navigation of the sea." TR;ESTE, JAN. 16.—We have received news from Greece to the 16th ult. On account of the recent law upon the press, exacting heavy pecuniary security from editors of journ ds, none have appeared ; we can, therefore, only derive our information from private sources. It is ?sritlent that order and prosperity are making rapid ad. Valloo4. The plan which the architects have drawn up for the City of Athens has been laid before the Govern. ment and approved. The quarters and streets of the new city are already marked out. The Athenians have at la , t agreed to all the conditions of the Government, so tha. there is no longer any obstacle to contend with. The re aidence' of the Government can, however, hardly be esta tli,ited there before the summer. A decree in the Go vernment journal orders all vessels, belonging or attached to Greece, to bear the flag of that country, as an evidence that they are under the protection of that Government. The regency hopes that this will be beneficial to the maritime trade, which has suffered considerably of late. The government paper of the 4th ult. contains, among ether nominations, that of General Church, as ambassador to the Court of Rus , ia, and that of Chevalier Henikstein as Consul at this place. Admiral Miaulis is named Ma rine Prefect. An ordinance of the 21 ult, decrees that the several dioceses be provisi,nally marked out. The number of bishoprics is fixed at ten. Each circle forms a diocese, the capital of which is the seat of the hishopric, where the monarch also resides. Each bishop is to bear the name of his circle. —Allgemeine Zeitung, Jan. 26. - „,, DOVERi. JAN.

The ball and supper given by Colonel Sir George Tees. dale and the officers of the King's Dragoon Guards, list evening, at Newburgh House, was a splendid affair.

FASHIONS FOR FEBRUARY. LADIES'. (From the Lady's Magazine). COSTUME Dz SPECTACLE OU SOIREE.-Toquet or hat a l'Evagnole, of velvet. This hat is made very nearly on the model of a man's hat ; the leaf is very broad at the sides, and diminishes towards the front and back ; it is turned up at each side, and down again in the centre of the front, so as to firm a point a la Marie Stuart on the forehead. A broad satin riband is passed round the top of the calotte, crossed in front, and brought round again to tie at the back in a bow with long ends. A bird of Pa radise is placed towards the right side, and inclines to the left. The h tir, in full tufts of curls, fills up the sides of the leaf. Satin Rediogotte with low corsage, a revers. The redingotte, which is made tight at the back, crosses completely in front, and is in folds coming from the shoulder. A deep revers or pelerine, cut almost square at back, with a deep point or dent le loop on the shoulder, and coming en schall in front as far as the waist, gives a pretty finish to the corsage. The sleeves are excessively full at top, and have a deep pointed cuff turned up at the wrist. The skirt which is very ample, crosses equally with the corsage, and is cut out in dentz de loup, be ginning small at the waist, and increasing in size as they go down ; these dents, as well as the revers and cuffs, are edged with a very small rouleau, outside which is a dou ble row of black lace, not very bread, nor yet narrow ; it is put on with some degree of fulness. The ceinture is composed of the broadest gauze riband, tied in front in two very small toques; the ends fall very low, and are finished by rich silk tassels. Chemi-e•te Of fine cambric, edged with narrow lace. Pearl necklace, gold earrings black satin shoes, white kid gloves. A letter from Dublin, of Wednesday last,' complains that the Post-office there, for a few days preceding, had dealt very arbitrarily with the public in closing its English receiver before the usual time, without any previous notice. The writer adds, that in conse quence of it he was compelled, on one occasion, to send by the pest-master at Holyhead, and on anotber through a friend at Liverpool. The matter should be inquired into, since, if the facts are as stated, there is both an injury to the public and a loss to the revenue produced by it. ORIGIN Of NEWSPAPERS.—Notwithstand ing the important benefits which society derives from newspapers, yet few are aware that we owe to the Italians the idea of this source of instruction and amusement. Our first newspaper was, as is generally known, the English Mercury, commenced in 1585 ; but the idea of a journal of this nature was taken by that illustrious statesman, William Cecil, Lord Burleigh, from the Venetian Ga zetta, which, previously to the appearance of th e E n g. lish Mercury, was the only vehicle of news in ex istence. Newspapers are of great antiquity in Italy, and under the name of Diuina were circulated among the Romans as early as they year 66,—a fact apparent from the "Annals" of Tacitus. Indeed, the ex istence of these journals may be trace d to a period anterior to the Christian era.

NOVEL SPECULATION.—The proprietors of Hungerford market have just entered into a contract for obtaining 500 tons of ice from Norway. Yesterday a meeting of the inhabitants of St. John of Wappiog, was held in the vestry, to adopt mea sures for preventing the renewal of the East Smithfield Rate Improvement Bill, Mr. Bllcket, churchwarden in the Chair. lii 1811 the London Dock Company, re quiring a convenient find approach to their Locks, got an Act passed, empowering them to improve the road leading from Tower Hill to the Upper East Smithfield, and to defray the expenses by levying a toll, and making rates in ti,ose parishes through which the improvements ran. This Act will expire at the end of the next session, and the London Dock Company have given notice of an application to Parliament fur its renewal for another 21 years. The Dock Company have already received nearly 70,0001., and they now want to secure the same sum for another term. They stated that they had not received sufficient to repay them for their advances, although they promised in the fits t place that the expense should not be more than 24.000/. Mr. Hubbuck, Mr. Weston, Mr. Jones, Mr. Brown, Mr. Bloomfield, Mr. Wren, and others, addressed the meeting, and a committee was appointed to oppose the renewal of the Bill. The parishioners of Aldgate, St. George's, Shadwell, and Whitechapel, are abJut to meet on the same subject. An officer in the 44th regiment, who had oc casion, when in Paris, to pass one of the bridges across the Seine, had his boots, which had been previously well polished, dirtied by a poodle dog rubbing against them. He, in consequence, went to a man who was stationed on the bridge, and had them cleaned. The same circum stance having occurred more than once, his curiosity was excited, and he watched the dog. He saw him roll him self in the tnud of the river, and then watch for a person with well polished boots, against which he contrived to rub himself. Finding that the shoeblack was the master of the dog, he taxed him with the artifice ; and, after a little hesitation, he con!essed he had taught the dog the trick in order to procure customers. The officer being much struck with the dog's sagacity, purchased him at a highs price, and brought him to England. He kept him tied up in London sometime and then released him. The dog remained with him a day or two, and then made his recipe. A fortnight afterwards he was found with his former master, pursuing his old trade on the bridge.— Jesse's Gleanings of Natural History.

Richard Bentley, New Burlington-street. ri) ) 11 414 art., LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 1, 1834. The news from Spain, contained in the Paris Papers of Thursday, is interesting. The Cortes, it appears, are to be called on to frame a Constitution nearly similar to the one in France. It was also generally thought in Madrid that M. BURGOS, the Mi nister of the Interior, would resign and make way for some more popular individual. General VALDEZ, with 8,000 men, was march ing against the rebels, stationed on the frontiers of Arragon. All accounts from Spain lead us to believe that, with a few exceptions, the great body of the people are waiting calmly the results of the late change in the Ministry, and looking for ward with hope to the assembling of the Cortes. There can be little doubt now that such an event will soon take place. It is, in fact, the only course which the new Minister can pursue, in or der to give confidence to the Constitutional party, and provide a counterpoise to the clergy. There never was a more favourable prospect for Spain, or such a chance for her regeneration, as at the t p i r ie ese m nt in m ist o e m r— en t t h . e e T x h p e er r ie ep n s c e e ct v ab vh le ich ch h a e ra a c n t d er of the other members of the Cortes have acquired sioncelB2O—thecri the prosperous nay,tical,independent state tin of the REGENT—and of France under a constitutional Government, all hold out the strongest hope of a happy re sult. Let the Cortes but act with common discretion and firmness, and we shall see the t most pr m ost i e s t-r d e i s d p d o en people t i rulers,c hi aegvaeul lkia sher utGenwojt enjoying and kingdoms. eyorilnnmoTrettiiehtiee. n Queen blessi ng Queens and great R o a f l dg ae Regent free mistresseslof fm arids SPAINr a bright ex ample to the contrary. Her attachment to her daughter, together with her dislike of CARLOS and the intolerant and jealous party that sur round him, probably gave rise to the idea of changing the succession ; that idea she soon inspired into her uxorious husband, and thereby brought about a crisis, which, as far as human foresight can discern, is most propitious to the future glory and welfare of Spain. While others advocate the instruction of the lower orders, to which we do not object, but the contrary, we beg leave to request of our readers to consider with us how it happens that the upper ranks stand still while the middle classes advance in the acquisition of useful knowledge. The inquiry is of great importance, because if the latter continue to improve in this respect, and the former to continue stationary, the latter will, in the inevit:ible course of things, supersede the former. The position of the upper ranks in this re-, spect arises from faults in their education. The' sons of the best families in England spend some' ' eight or ten years of their boyhood at our great schools, learning little else excepting Latin and Greek. Arithmetic is not only not taught, but is treated as a vulgar science, beneath a gentle man to learn ; geography is so little unfolded as not even to enable the boys to understand the ancient authors they are made to translate, much less to enable them to contrast ancient names and de' scriptions with modern names and decriptionst while modern languages not only form no par t of the school course of education, but it is ex• tremely difficult for any youth to acquire ani knowledge of these languages while he remains there, nor is the defect supplied when he removes to either of the Universities. And yet the men educated there constitute the bulk of the Lower as well as the Upper House of Parliament. Much of our present situation is thereby explained. There is m ore useful information without than within the warg of either House, and the weakness within mus t yield to the strength without. In order to p reserve t h e b a l ance o f t h e C o n' stitution it is of paramount importance that th course of education which the bulk of o°' legislators receive should be improved ; and yet the improvement is not unattended with difficulty, for why are Latin and Greek made of the first importance at our great schools and universities? Why P—but because these establishments are 1 0 the hands of clergymen, who know little else excepting Latin and Greek ; and if Latin and' Greek be not made of the first importance ,. they will cease to be of importance. Neverthe" less, imperious as is the improvement in the mode of teaching, and matters taught at their schools and universities, the teachers will e%' claim the Constitution is in danger, if their 1 0 ' stitutions be touched, though their improvemen t is absolutely necessary, in order to preserve the balance of the Constitution. We content our' selves with merely broaching the subject at pre' sent. We may return to it hereafter. All who know the legal ability, the imps" tiality, and upright conduct, of Mr. Bar ol3 . BAYLEY, will regret that increasing infirmitie s have at length compelled him to leave that see / of justice which lie has adorned so long. .1 0 amiable manners and humanity as a Judgeoned e him alike the favourite of the Bar and the public He was not equally the favourite of a Tory Ge; vernment, who, disregarding the first qualities a Judge, when unalloyed with political bias' passed over this eminent individual, and coo' ferrcd Chief-Justiceships on mote pliant 0 1 thorough-going partisans. He has been ac' cused of a leaning of severity towards th e press, but whenever this was exhibited the feet ing evidently sprung from a sincere, thong ° mistaken conviction, which we may regret, bu t cannot severely censure. As far as we hav e been concerned we have had no reason to coo* plain on that score, and now that his legal catee r is run, and our praise or blame of him can hal l nothing selfish, we gratefully acknowledge 1 11 ° he was the means, on one occasion, of averting a decision against us, which a leading Judge was inclined to pronounce. His memorable rebuke to Sir CHARLES WETHERELL, " i lik e honesty in all places," will long be remembere d ! in Westminster Hall. The Peuple Souvrain of Marseilles state' after a letter from Toulon, that on the 20th ult. a pita of about 50 workmen of that town went to °Monte. t° celebrate the installa'ion of the Mere des CompagnooBo but being opposed by another body of workmen near f, equal in number, a sanguinary contest ensued, sIO: 7 o'clock in the evening, on the Pont de i'As, and was ° o . put an end to till the police appeared in force, and arres t 12 of the combatants. The Liberal du Nord of Douay states, dol l in the night of Saturday last a party of smugglers tempted to introduce into the town a quantity of co° . traband cotton, but, being discovered, were opposed 11 the officers, and a combat ensued in the streets, wbir alarmed the inhabitants, and continued fur some time. l a the end, four of the smugglers were secured, but not 0 one of the custom-house officers was very serious , / wounded.
