' In a nother column will be found a few ex tracts f iont the French Papers of Monday, and also t\ NO paragraphs from the Etoile of Tuesday, which A we had not room for _in our Paper of yesterday. They relate almost exclusively to th e Affairs of the Peninsula, and the progress mile Le by the Spanish authorities in disarming the. Portuguese rebels. Reports are mentioned fro an Madrid, that the basis of an accommoda ti( nt between Spain and Portugal, has been alreed upon, and that Count D'OFFAtIA %VOUld proceed immediately on his mission t,o England. The latter report was confirm ed by letters received yesterday in London direct from Madrid to the 20th instant, : which mentioned that OFFALIA had actually set out, accompanied by M. UTIS Y MOZ, who is to fill ad interim the situation of Charge d'Affaires at Paris, in the room of the Duke of VILLA HER MOSA, who had been recalled.: The:ohject of OFFALIA' .S mission i s doubtful, but: it is said that it will not interfere with the 'functions of the Spanish Ambassador already at this Court.

Much damage was caused by the late in undations, and serious apprehensions were enter tained of further calamities--especially, as the severe storms had greatly influenced the, rising of the rivers. In the North of Europe, much be nefit is anticipated from the adoption of steam boats for facilitating the communication between Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and other places. A cotton manufactory lately established at Ullen dorf, in Prussia, manufactures yarn to the annual value - of 90,000 dollars, which sum was formerly paid to foreigners (probably England) for the article : naciux, MACH 21.

Our journals contain accounts from many different Places of the damage done by the inundations which have followed the bursting of the dikes. STOCKHOLM, MARCH Q. Accounts from Christiania say, that the King's resolu tion to reserve for the next Storthing the decision on the Proposals for some alterations in the Constitution, and only to recommend to the present Storthieg to take them into consideration, has given universal satisfaction there; and that his Majesty has never felt so much pleasure in his visits to Norway as on the present occasion. As his If ..;esty intends to celelebrate-the birth-day of her Royal Highness the Crown Princess with great splendour at Christiania, he will not leave that capital before the 17th or 18th of this month. The Princess Sophia Albertina is rather better. From the let April, one of the new steam-boats, built 4 England for the Norwegian Government, will every )week perform the voyage between Fredericksyaern and Copenhagen, and touch at Gottenburgh, both in going and taming. The other steam-boat will ply between Chris tiania and Christiagsand. By this means the intercourse between Gottenburgh and Norway, and Denmark, will be kreatly facilitated.

The Minister of War and the General of Police have sent off dispatches to the different Authorities, with positive orders to rein force the garrisons of several strong places. For several days past a report prevailed of an im- Tnense conspiracy in the Army of Observation. New York Papers to the 4th inst. reached town last night. They do not contain any news, but are chiefly filled with the, debates in the House of Representatives, upon the Bill regu lating commercial intercourse between the United States and the British Colonial posses sions. Various amendments and alterations had been proposed in the Bill, some of which had been carried, and indications were decidedly in favour of its passing ; but the House were obliged to adjourn, from the want of a sufficient number of Members present, in the very last stage 'of the diScussiOn. • • Extract of a private letter from Lisbon, of the 17th March —The British troops began their movements to day, towards the banks of the Tagus. The 2d Brigade, under Sir Archibald Arbuthnot, was to march to-day from Leira to Thomas, and one of the Sd Regiments was to take its situation at Pinheti, on the very banks of the River, for the purpose of having their provisions with ease,; others say, its object is to be ready to meet the Spaniards on the other side of the river, in ease they should make an invasion. Certain it is, that Sir William Clinton held a Council of all his principal officers, on Wed nesday, at Coimbra, in order to take some measures which have not as yet transpired . : some suspect it alludes to the movement of, the Spanish. army., A report .sous ciraidated base t hi,„ or pi ng , that six thousand paen .ware- eoming.lrom -England, but on what authority,l could not-learn. . . The, o)d Queen .has not-yet left Queluz. The Portuguese army in the north is repreiented as being ,niuch exhausted from fatigue. Another fact is, that the , re bel, Chiefs have been sent to Valladolid, which is fall of their partisans. In the Chamber, the motion of the impeachment of Ministers has been carried, but it is a mere division of parties, and will not tend to any good. While they were debating, a double guard of soldiers were placed at the doors; which gave general offence. The Cham ber have agreed to grant a Loan, but it is thought the other House will reject it. (EIGNT O'CLOCK ♦T NIGHT).--We have just received a report of the death of the Emperor Pedro. The latest news from Badajos states,, that the Spanish troops are in continual motion, their head-quarters are at .Badajos. Their Light Cavalry have got towards Altenquerquie and Villa del Rey. We had a report of the Spaniards having made an attack on Portalegre, but it has net beeri con firmed. We hear, with much regret, that many persons of distinction regularly attend the Pistol Shooting Gallery in the Haymarket, with a view to acquir ing skill in the use of a weapon which is seldom employed except in taking the life of fellow-citi zens. We ere quite satisfied that many oftheseho nourable ,persons practise it merely as an amuse ment, but they are not aware how much it might tell against them; if they should ever have the mis fuFAuAle tixTbe,engagsv 4,,in a ; uel where the iSsue was fatal to their antagonist. It might most' as suredly_ be urged by the public prosecutor as a se rious aggravation of their offence against the laws of their country, and though a brave man has no fear of dying in his country's, or in any ether righteous cause, we suppose that very few would be indifferent to,t,ini.ignominy. of dying' by the hands of the public. executioner. There can be no possible harm in shooting with a pistol, more than ° with any other sort of fire arms, when - a man is in the country ; but making a public exhibition of one's skill, does not look well, and may be misconstrued. The accounts from the Dutch coast gi►e a melancholy list of disasters. The weather continued extremely hobil terous. The Lisbon Mail also announces fresh di►asters among the shipping on that coast, and notices, among other particulars, the total logs of the well-known regular tinder Oporto, Captai❑ Covey, from London, near the town of Villa de Conde. We regret to Elate, that three passengers and five of the craw perished ou this unfortunate occasion. The proceedings in Parliament last night, pos sessed no marked feature. In the Lords, several petitions were presented against any alteration in the Corn Laws. Really these petitioners must entertain a very happy idea of their own importance, to think that the Legislature will now prefer the exclusive benefit of a party, to the general welfare of the community. They have certainly one merit, in coming forward when their advice is too late to be of any use. We are glad that their modesty has so far predominated over their self interest. Lord KING presented a petition from the Catho lics of Ireland upon their grievances, which gave rise to some observations, and an explanation from the Bishop of CHESTER, respecting a spee c h which he made some days ago upon the sam e subject. In the Commons, Mr. H umE was at his old work of presenting petitions. He commenced at Whiteeross-street Prison—went to the charity at Rugby and finished, with condemning the adulteratio n of flour. The Game Laws were again the subject of petition and remark—their deplorable severity needs no comment, however much their tendency to demoralise the people requires correction. The Costs of Distresses Bill was read a second tune. Its object is very humane, and we trust it will pass into a law with out opposition. Mr. JOHN SMITH presented a petition from Bolton, praying the House to enact t h at be fix e d a t the minimum of wages should twelve shillings—in other words, that h owever ,. little some people did work, they should- n o t h e paid too littl e f or their labour. It is sin gu l ar to see the i ncons i s t enc y of people peti t i on i ng against the Corn Laws, because they afFord a protection to the Landed Interest, and nett d a y asking for a monopoly in their own case, or what is equivalent to it, a fixed rate of wages. So blind is self-interest. The Louise, Badger, from Bremen to Tampica, was on shore at the mouth of the Weser, the 21st inst., with the Toes of anchor and cable, and would be obliged to discharge.

Pooh, pooh," says Jack, " they only joke, 'Tis now a fortnight. since We'spoke." We have much pleasure in recommending to the Sporting World, Messrs. Smith and Alden, gun-makers, in Parliament-street, Westminster. These very deserving young men were formerly with the Manton's, and certainly seem to have profited by their opportunities. We never saw better guns than they make, and have read letters from Lords Home, Elcho, and Kennedy, Captain Ross, Sir David Milne, and many other Sporting Characters, ex -pressing their high approbation of theit performances. DUELS.—The pernicious practice of duelling is making sad ravage in this country, and has descended even to the lowest classes. Two blacks (the domestic ser vants of Thomas H. Carnegie, of Waccamaw), settled " an affair of honour " by single combat a few weeks since. They had a rifle and pistol between them, and tossed up for the choice. • The negro to whom the rifle la, was wounded by hie antagonist, and, in spite of his wound, after discharging his rifle, walked up and beat out the brains of the other with the butt end. He has since been committed to gaol, and will probably be hanged.--Neto York En quirer. AMERICAN MINT.—By a statement laid be fore the House of Representatives, it appears that from the Ist of January to the 81st December, 1826, 18,069 half and 7,602 quarter eagles were made at the mint, amount ing to 9,2 21,500 dollars ; end for the same time were made 4,001,180 half dollars, amounting to ' 20 0,209,000 dollars. CITY OF LONDON GENERAL PENSION SOCIETY.-The friends of this society celebrated their an niversary festival at the City of London Tavern yesterday. The assemblage on this occasion was numerous and highly respectable. The Duke of Sussex was prevented by in disposition from attending, and in the absence of his Royal Highness, who was to have presided, Mr. Hobhouse, was called to the chair. The Duke of St. Alban's sat ' upon his right. The Hon. Chairman took occasion more than once in the course of the evening to press the claims of the charity upon the feelings of his auditory. The ob ject of it is to give permanent relief to decayed artisans, mechanics, and manufacturers, of good character (and t h e i r widows), resident within ten miles of the metropolis. Sir Peter Laurie, and several other gentlemen, also ardentl y advocated the cause of the society. When the health of the Duke ref St. Alban's tires drank, his Grace, who, by the way, drank and cheered the .toast in common with the rest of the company, assured the society that he should al ways be most happy to promote, as far as he could, the welfare of that industrious class of his fellow subjects, the decayed artisans. He was commissioned by a most cha ritable lady, Mrs. Coutts, to present the society with a donation from her, to which he begged to add a small do nation of his own. A list of other donations was read by the Secretary. ANOTHER COACH ACCIDENT.---Yeaterday morning, about eight o'clock, as the London and Liverpool coaeh, the Sovereign, was coming to town, in turning the sharp corner, opposite the George Inn, Northamp ton, it went over with great rapidity on the flag s , and, unfortunately, seven of the passengers and the guard were mach hurt. There were five inside (ladies and gentlemen, and a child), all o f w h om were ser i ous ly injured; and, when our informant came away , severa l of the surgeons of the place, whose humanity immediately called them to the distressing scene, were busily employed in dressing the wounds of the sufferers. On Tuesday, about one o'clock, a.m. between forty and fifty yards of the old city wall, Norwich (about 20 feet high, and in some places seven feet in thickness), situate between the gate opening into Richmond Hill Gar dens, and the new road leading to Carrow Hill, fell down with a tremendous crash, buryins, - underneath its ruins the workshops and houses which have been erected under it within the last few years. A circumstance so extraordi rided. nary as scarcely to be credible, yet never theless perfectly true, oecurred.—At the termination of th e spot where the ruin was divided from the solid p ar t o f the wall, and was sit ua t e d a cottage, in w co h malete a ly n uonldderneath it, woman resided. When the wall fell, it completely buried in its ruins half this cottage.

The petitioner against the return for Banfllihire is Mr. Morrison, the unsuccessful candidate. The ground of the petition is, that an unqualified freeholder was admitted to vote for the sitting member, (Lord Fife). 'lt appears that the electors consist of 32 in number, and that' each candi date had 16 votes. -Bet Lord Fife, who was the presses, decided the election in his own favour, by his casting vote, f the votes given," there were eight objected to by both parties, brat their validity was confirmed by the Court of Session, which left the numbers equal on both sides, but the petitioner objected to the decision of the Court of Session, with respect to one vote given to Lord Fife, and it became a subject of dissuasion this day, whether the Committee was bound by the Decree of the Court of Session, or if they ought to go into the merits of the case de novo. After hearing Counsel, and deliberating for a short period, they determined on hearing evidence as to the qualification of the voters objected to. DUBLIN ELECTION COMMITTEE. The labours of this Committee are likely to be protract ed. The aim of the petitioners is principally directed against Colonel White. —Col. Talbot remains as yet un impeached.. This is the only petition which put the in terference of the Catholic Clergy on trial, consequently the result is looked for with ranch anxiety; but no.evi dence has as yet been offered with a view to esta blieh that allegation. The object of the testimony hither -to preduced has,been to show bribery on the part of• Col. W. If they do not euceeed in that, they purpose to proceed to a serutiny, in which case, we understand, that the sitting Members will endeavour to have a Commission, to examine witnesses in Dublin. It reflects but little credit on the moral state of society in the county of Dublin, to see free holders who , acknowledge •to have taken the bribery oath at the Election, now voluntarily coming forward, and swearing that they had given their votes in consequence of a previous promise of remuneration, and that they had subsequently received that remuneration ; yet such has been the case before this CoMmittes. If the Committee acquit Colonel White of the charge of bribery, they will Shen proceed to, take. evidence,respecting the undue interference of the Catholic Clergy, which will equally affect both the Sitting Members. In consequence of the indisposition of Sir John Astley, the Committee did not sit to -day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY). BOW-STREET. John Carey waathis morning charged with horse stealing. The landlord of the'Bell Inn, Winslow, Barks, stated that the prisoner had, in August last, sent a grey horse to his house, instructing him to put it to grass, and get it into condition for the hunting season. lie had done so, but heard no more of the prisoner for some months, and not knowing his address, he thought there was something wrong, and advertised the horse in" February last. The horse was subsequently OWDed by a Mr. Downing, and yesterday week the witness received a letter from the prisoner, stating that he had just returned from the Continent, and request ing witness to send up the horse and his account. This letter was dated from No. 4, Providence-place, Kenning ton-lane. George Furlong, a conductor of the patrol, apprehended the prisoner, and found at his stables, et Mountford-place, Kennington, a dark bay mare, which answers to the de scription of one lately advertised as stolen; and, at Mr. Shillibeer's stables, in Bury-street, Bloomsbury, a brown horse, standing there in the prisoner's name. The prisoner said in defence, that he hail bought the hr;rsers of two different men, whom he believed to be horse dealers.—Remanded till Wednesday. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS-(THIS DA' James Andrews, a hackney-coachman, was convicted of an aggravated assault upon Lord Belfast's coachman, by striking him across the eyes with a whip at the door of Covent-garden theatre.

This case stood to be argued upon a demurrer, but it was postponed till Tuesday next, in consequence of the absence of Mr. Hart, from illness, who was counsel for his Catholic Majesty. XXPARTE DeIfAUGHTON 2X THE MATTNA Or CARTER, A BANKRUP7, Mr. HELD wished his Lordship would give judgment as early as possible. His LORDSIIIP.—I Shall give it as soon as I can in that matter. 'Mr. HEALD.—AIy friend Mr. Montague, who has just gone out of Court, I understand, has always thought we were afraid of asking for judg rent ; but I wished to chew him that I never entertained any such dread. 'His LORDSHIP.—I should be very sorry if any body was afraid of asking me for judgment. In that matter of ex-parte M'Naughton, it would be a very great satisfac tion to me, if those who asked for judgment, were placed in may situation, that they could learn how difficult it was to make themselves master of the matter before they could dispose of it. Mr. liraLn.—l think there are many, in the Yorkbhire phrase, who would try ! His LORDSNIP—Eh ? Mr. HEALD—I think there are many that would try.— (Laughter. ) His LoaDsma—Well, I am sure they are very weleome. GLASSINGTON V TLINVAITIZS. His Lonnsuir said; there is no Way of disposing of that case of Glassington and rhwaites, but either by dismissing the bill with costs, or by setting aside all the proceedings since the first step was taken by the defendant, and provid ing for the costs. And as I think the latter must be the way in which the Court must act, you may take that order. IN THE bkATTIR OF THE REV. 11R. FRANKS, A LUNATIC. Mr. HEALD, stated, that there was a Petition presented in this matter, from which it appeared, that Sir Wm. Cooke, who was Committee and Receiver of the lunatic's property, bad been placed in a predicament in which it was •not likely he could receive the rents, without compelling the tenants to pay a second time, from the following cir cumstances :—Two persons whom the lunatic had em ployed to manage his affairs before the issuing of the Com mission, had empleyeda _third person to give notice to the tenants that large sums in the way of annuities were due to them prior to the finding of the inquisition, and that they meant to distrain upon the tenants on the 6th of April. The present application therefore, was, that. the Court would grantita injunction to restrain such e,pro ceeding on the part of the annuit an t s . • - His Lonusixtr granted the injunction, intimating *hat though annuitants were entitled to have their payments made to them, yet that when a receiver had been ap pointed, they could not virtually bred mane turn hies out without coming to the Court. GRANT .v. GRANT. His LORDSHIP stated that he had devoted several hours last `night to the furtber perusal of the papers in this cue; and he felt it necessary now to ask the Counsel for the de fendant, at what,period it was that that unity of possession of the rents and profits of the real estate, and of the obliga tion to apply those rents and profits in the payment of the legacies with interest was established. It would be neces sary for the defendant to fix on the plaintiff, Sir Alexander Grant, the obligation which he fastened first - on some body that had preceded Sir Alexander; and then he would have to chew that that somebody could and ought to have discharged the legacies. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. INJUNCTION TO RESTRAIN THE PUBLICATION OF PRIVATE LETTERS. CULLY V. WELSH. Mr. TINHEY applied for an Injunction to restrain the defendant Welsh from printing or publishing certain private letters, written to him by the late Messrs. Mathew and George Cully, whilst he was employed by them as a solici tor. These gentlemen have since died, and the em ployment of Welsh has ceased. The correspondence which passed between them during the continuance of his agency, contained a great deal of matter of a strictly private nature. The affidavits stated that the defendant had printed notices of his intention to publish the correspondence. The Learned Gentleman admitted that this limiter had been going on for a long time. A prospectus of the publication had been distributed, and advertisements announcing its ap pearance were inserted in Cie public newspapers at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and every means were resorted to for the purpose of giving notoriety to the puhlica tion. It was true that twelve months had nearly elapsed since Welsh first threatened to send forth these letters to the public, but the applicants were shortly after informed that he had abandoned his intention, alai therefore it was that they took no steps to prevent it at the time. Two of tho applicants, however, saw the manuscript within the last she weeks in the bawls of the printer, and stated distinctly in their affidavit that the letters, besides matters relating to the professional agencyof Welsh, contained a great deal of w hat was strictly private and confidential; that they disclosod matters connected with the private circumstances of the gentlemen by whom they were written, the disclosure of • which was calculated painfully and injuriously to wound the feelings of their family and representatives. The affidavits further set forth that Welsh could have no other motive for the conduct he was about to pursue, with reference to the letters, except the hope of pecuniary advantage ; that intimation had been given him of the impropriety of the intended publication, and that the son of Welsh said in allusion to it, that money was a great object to hie father, and that none of the parties could prevent him from doing what he pleased with the letters. It was farther stated, that within the last eight days, an offer was made on the part of Welsh, to give the letters up for a sum of money, which was refused. The VICE-CHANCELLOR inquired on whose behalf the application was made. Mr. TINNEY said, that the applicants were George an(' Mathew Cully, the sons and heirs at law'of the writers o: the letters, and a Mr. Bates, the executor of one of them. The Vres-CztAxcHr.Lou.—Then take the injunction. KINWORTIIY V. ISINCHCLIFP I. A petition was presented on the part of Mr. Eastbrook, the receiver in this case, stating that he had, previously to September, 1825, lodged in the bank of Messrs. Sutcliffe and Co. a sum of about 9001., which came into his hands as receiver of the estate of Joshua Kenworthv.— The money was placed to a separate account, and not mixed up with his own. Mr. Eastbrook having► soon after heard of the growing embarrass ment of the Bank, applied to them and succeeded in getting a sum of between two and three hundred pounds, part et the money so deposited. The Bank shortly after failed ; there still remained a large balance, and the petitioner pray ed that he might riot be compelled to make up this defi ciency, inasmuch as he had not been guilty of any fraud or culpable inattention to his duty. The county of York in which he resided, was at the time, in a very disturbed state, and therefore he submitted that it would have been unsafe to keep it in his own house. It was admitted by all the parties in the suit that the conduct of Mr. Eastbrook was not open to the slighest suspicion. The VICE-Cualiciatoa could not make any order until he should have before him the result of an enquiry into all the circumstances of the case. This v: as the more necessary, as one of the parties interested in the fund was, an infant. His Honour said, that he would himself draw up the order for the enquiry.

(FROM A C OR RESPONDENT.) —The late John S m ith, E sq ., p aym aster of the N a vy, was educat e d at Eton, where lie c ontracted friendship with Mr. Canning and Mr. Frore, afterwards Ambassador to Spain, which lasted till his death. In conjunction with them and Mr. Robert Smith, the late Member for Lincoln, he was o ne o f the chief authors of " The Microcosm," a work A t the time much celebrated. From Eton he went to Ki ng ' s College, Cambridge. On leaving the University he studied for the Bar, but disliking the law, entered the army.— H av i n g attained the rank of Captain, he quitted that, and sat in Parliament some time, when Mr. Pitt appointed him postmaster-General of Jamaica. On returning to Eng land in consequence of ill-health, Mr. Canning appointed him Paymast er o f t h e N av y, which office, except during the short administration of " The Talents," he retained till his death, under the s uccessive Treasurerships of Mr. Rose, Mr. Robinson, and Mr. Huskisson. An unfortunate deaf ness, with which he was affected, prevented his rising in public life. Besides portions of " The Microcosm," he was the autho r of " Metrical Remarks on Modern Architec ture ;" of free translations of some of the Greek dramas, and of a great quantity of miscellaneous poetry, the major part of which has never been published. Shortly before his death he had completed a work on the " Odyssey," and the " A of Homer." FASHIONABLE AND MISCELLANEOUS.

APHORISMS.—Our suspicions justify the de ceit of others. There is nothing we give more freely than advice. The man who overcomes his passions proves their weakness rather than his own rtrengtla. A man is never rendered so ridiculous by those qualities which he possesse s , &A by those which he affects to possess. There are people who would never have been in love, if they had never heard the thing talked of. People would speak but little did not vanity make them talk. A man would rather speak ili o f himself, than not talk of himself at all. We praise in the hope cf being praised again. —Rochefoueauit. o perceive in our first page the announce ment of sale, by private contract, of some superior invest merits in Landed Property, more especially a very sple n did mansion and domain, sitnated in the West of England which is acknowledged to s t an d unr i valled as a residence ' of the very first elan, in whi c h art h as combined with na ture in renderin g it every thing that the most refined taste can possibly obt a i n ; and what a dd s t o t h e d es id era t u m is, th e the sum d eman d e d f or the purchase is such, that it will a t present pay up war d s o f 4 per cent. per annum , an d t ht rental which i s now cons id era bl e , may with manage men e be very mu c h enarease d.

On Monday, the stag called Dale Park, was the g enera l op i n i on o f the sportsmen turned out near the Dyke. For som e ti me h e c h ewed such reluctanceow e reig i ving seemed totape h to be im t h e half an hour ,s la w, that be would not run . Aft er , h the hounds were laid uponthe scent an d soon ran up to him ; this put him upon his mettle , and h e d ar t e d o ff at hi s b est pace, b ear i ng away, with the leading hounds close upon him, down the Dyke, for Poyning's Gate, turning to the left into the in closures at the bottom of the hills, and then ascending the bill, away for Pershing Farm, for Toddington Woods, skirting part and through part, at a rattling pace. The music of the hounds echoing through the woods, was en chanting; tL e com p an y was very select, only six of the party being up. He then bore away across the Henfield road, for Heeding Brooks, till he came to the Adur River, where, being very hot and bard pressed, he took to the water, after a run of ss minutes, part on the downs, but the greater part in the inclosures, and at a pace quite as brisk es the sportsmen wished. In order to take the stag the huntsman swam his horse across the river. After re maining the water a quarter of an h our, g i v i ng t h e greater part of the field who had follow e d at some di stance, an opportunity of coming up, he ag a i n starte d , g i v i ng them another run, passing through Beeding, and bearing away for Shoreham bridge, on the hank of the river. Having crossed it and returned back to Beeding, he was taken in a farm yard in the neighb ourhood. Many of the sports men were much pleased with the view they had of the run from the hills, others regretted that they were not in com pany with the select few who kept up with the pack. In the course of the run, the whipper-in broke his horse's leg, and immediately killed him. Gallant Robin Hood was in waiting to take the field, had not Dale Park sh own sport. This attention on the part of the Committee, to prevent disappointment, is, we have reason to know, duly appre ciated.—Robin Hood will b e turned out on Friday.... Brighton Guardian.
