The enemy was attacked by Major WAEKS in the plain of Maros, and driven back, but the Settlement is far from beilig quiet. Memlok, the capital of Bann, has been destroyed by fire. Two French ships of war arrived at Malacca, charged with a Special Mis sion to the Manilla. We make the following *attracts BAT AVIA, OCT. 28. Hfs Maje.ty's frigate Eurydice, Capt. Wardenburg, and the rnily and Merkus transports, sailed on the 24th from this port to Macassar, with 488 troops and military stores, to reinforce t he garrison of that settlement, under Col. Birchoft. According to the latest accounts from 'Macassar, received Within these few days, the people of Bona, who had been long l o a threatening position on the frontiers, being encouraged by t he Continued resistance of Soepa, had, a few days after the de parture of the Eurydice from Macassar roads, really entered the territory of the Government on the side of Maros, and im mediately attacked the Regents of Sevribang. and Tymanab w hich had obliged the Government of Macassar to call on the 4411 liary force of the King of Goah (in Macassar), which, ac. "tdiog to the treaty, had immediately been put in motion. The Bona people immediately appeared in great force at Pallkajene, where Lieut. Grunwald, with 30 native soldiers, 144 a fortified post. IVhile that officer was bravely defending 41 : ia lr'elf; his little powder magazine blew up, and unhappily ' 4o Yed the whole post.

A small detachment was left as a Guard of Honour to the King of Sidenring, who with his people continued tie siege. In this critical situation of the Government of Macassar, it is to be hoped that the reinforcements will arrive in time to clear our territory t.f these bands, whose object is plunder, and v, ho if they can be kept within their own territory, will be suffi cient:y punished by tile famine that prevails there. Letters from Uheribon state, that a few days before a terrible fire had destroyed,66 houses, and many stables, &c. at Kcebang. Another destructive fire had taken place in the district of Pamansekan. On the Gth of last month 3luntok, the capital of Baxica wa , almost entirely destroyed by a dreadful tire. A very high east wind baffled every effort to stop the progress of the flaw s; only the Government engines and a very few houses were saved by the exertions of the garrison. The native and Chinese po pulation are reduced to the greatest misery by this event. The generosity of the Europeans is exerted to the utmost, and the resident has taken every measure that the circumstances allow. Letters received from Malacca say, that in August last two French ships of war arrived there, viz. the Thetii frigate, Capt. Bougainville, and the Esperance corvette, Captain Du Camper : they stopped to repair some damage sustained by the corvette or; the voyage.—These two vessels, which sailed from Brest in March last year, were bound on a special mission to Manilla, and put to sea again after a wort stay. Nov. 13. The Netherland ship Baron Van der•Ca; ell3r, Capt. J. 11. Peter, which sailed in March to the Persian Gulf, arrived here the 9th, after a voyage of BO days. It sailed with a cargo of sugar, tin, lion, and some presents, under the direction of a Go vernment Agent, for Persia, and has brought in return various persian goods and 50 fine horses. We hear that the consign ment was extremely well received in Persia, and that much in clination ,was shewn to renew. our ancient commercial inter.. course. We learn also thatsthe Government has received very friendly letters and presents from the Imam of Muscat ar d Sheik of Bushir. The liamburgh Papers of the 29th ult. have also been received. A Stockholm Paper says, that a new Tariff is under consideration, and several important points respecting it have been decided. The following are extracts:— WARSAW, APRIL 17.

The King and Queen of the two Sicilies having expressed an ardent desire to participate in the indulgence of the jubilee, ha Holiness has dispensed with their going through all the usual stages, provided their Alajesties will first perform the duties prescribed such on confessien and coma ulii n. At the request of their Majesties, the same favour has been granted to all the individuals in their suite. On the 15th, the august travellers received the sacrament from the hands of the Pope himself. This pious ceremony was followed by a splendid breakfast, served in the library of the Vatican. Their Majesties continued to visit, not only all the monu ments of the arts, but likewise the ateliers of all the artists who enjoy some reputation. CIIAMBEIL OF DEPUTIES, MAT 2. The budget for 1823, being the order of the day, was carried by a majority of 247 to 77—Difference, 170. A project of law in one article was read, to grant from the budget of 1824, beyond the credits fixed for the ordinary ex peaces by the law of the 10th of May, 1823, the supplements subjoined, provisionally auth , rised by royal ordinances, to the amount of 34,560,737 f. It was adopted by 268 votes to 37. D.:ajority, 231. ( From the CorWitutionnet ) lADIUD, APRIL 29. •M. Ugarte, while in favour, had suppressed the ancient cus tom by which the Council of State met once in a week, and supplied it by a Council of Ministers, which being composed of a smaller number of persons, offered less opposition 10 his will; but immediately after his departure, the King ordered the meetings of the Council of State to be resumed, the absent Councillors to be recalled, and a purification to be made of those who exercised their functions during the Constitutional Government, in order that those who succeed in purifying them selves may resume their seats in council. M. Calomarde has now acquired such ascendancy over the King's mind as to alarm M. Zea, who does not venture to leave the King for 24 hours together, apprehending that in this space the King might consent to dismiss him, which would have hap. pened at Toledo but for the too great exultation of the people of that city.

Brussels Papers to the sth inst. also reached us last night. They state that an immense number of couriers from all nations daily passed through that city, which showed that, notwithstanding the settled look of Continental affairs, the present was a period of prodigious diplomatic activity. Letters from Constantinople of a recent date affirm that the Egyptian troops, after obtaining a few successes in the illorea, had been surrounded, and overpowered by a general rising of the Greeks. Letters from Breslau say that the demand for linen for exporta tion had greatly increased in consequence of the reduction of the duties in England. The LORD CHANCELLOR last night complained in the House of Lords that whenever a petition against the Catholic Claims was brought up, it was sure to be stigmatized as not being the pe tition of the persons it purported to come from. " Some Noble Lord every night repeated an account he had received of the manner in which the petition had been got up, but it gene rally proved, as he believed was the case in the present instance that the information was in correct." There is a very great d ea l of truth in this observation, which serves to shew how little consideration the advocates of Catholic Emanci pa Lion have as to the A means opposition pro motetobepu; downby their abuse, vi an all all friends recei ve d w i th open They cannot for that any body who arms, and high sound the instant suppose does not 13 40 30 32 view the Catholic Question iu the same light as, themselves an b y a possibili ty b e j ust as honour ale asthemselves, - they cannot give him credit b c for 'wishing as heartily as they do to promote the, welfare of the Cotnmonwealth. If indeed the virtue and patriotism of either party is to be Nveighed , agahM the other, we are sure the op ponents of the Catholic Bill need fear nothing ; and we speak thus moderately because we are loth to follow the evil example that has been set us, and draw comparison's that. Must redound to the singular disadvantage of the supporters of h! Catholic Relief Bill. Let the public con sider, that a Committee of the House of Com mons is at this moment employed in endeavour ing to discover the person who imposed on the credulity of the HousP, an d cause d a Pe tition to be p resente d to it in favour of the Catholics as the Petition-of fourteen iindividuals, when, in point of fact, thirteen out of the four teen not only did not know of the petition, but whose sentiments were opp ose d to its prayer. From this they can easily judge against which party such_ charges can with most justice be brought. Mr. Millet:l:y brought forward last night his Motion' for a repeal of the Duties on Beer. It was lost by a Majority of 65, the numbers being, for the Motion 23, against it 88. The question discussed was not whether the tax should be taken off altogether, but whether its amount could not be transferred to another article, (as Malt for instance) and the Beer left quite free of duty. The inequality of the ope ration of the present tax was the ground taken to seek for its removal, it being alleged that the poor paid the greater part of the tax, and the rich almost altogether escaped it, whereas, if the duty was laid upon malt it would operate more equally both on the .rich and on the poor. The rich in very many ,instances escape the duty altogether by brewing at home ; and although it may be said that is open to the poor to do so likewise, it is very truly replied, that in towns it is quite impossible, and even in the coun try, in nine instances out of ten, they have not fa cilities to do so. The first part of this question, viz. the inequality of the operation of the tax, appears to us, to present abstractedly, no ground of complaint, because, where ought a tax to fall if not on the consumer of the article on which it is charged ? To make this tax objectionable, it is necessary to go farther, and spew that the article on which it was charged was an article in daily consumption amopgst the labouring. classes, and that it was chiefly used by titer!). I❑ the present instance we may admit that to be the fact, but how would they be bettered if the duty was taken from Beer and placed on Malt ? The price of Beer would remain just the same. In this view of the case then, the transfer of the Beer Duty to Malt is un called for, but if we go a little further it can easily be shewn that such a transfer might be attended with a reductio►l, of the price of beer, without at the same time reducing the amount of revenue raised by it. We take it for granted that no sound reason can be given why those who brew their own beer should escape the tax laid on those who drink beer brewed by the public brewer. The whole amount of the Beer duty in a year is near three millions, and this is paid by the pur -1 sons who drink their beer brewed for them by the public brewers. Beer cannot he made with out malt, and if therefore the Beer duty was transferred to Malt, it would increase the number of persons by whom the three millions are now paid, by the whole amount of those persons who at present brew at home, and thus there would be a greater number of contributors to the three millions than before. By these means the share each person originally paid would be diminished, and thus the duty on beer might be reduced in proportion to the increas ed number of contributors, and consequently the price of beer might. be reduced also. To make the proposition clearer, we will suppose that the total annual sum paid by the persons who drink beer made by the public brewers to per roan. W e will further suppose the num he 10001., which is p a id b y 2000 persons, being her I ) °s , of the persons who brew their own beer to be 200. Now, if the duty on beer was trans ferred to malt, it is plain that these 200 would contribute to pay it, and thus there would he 2200 persons to pay the 10001. instead of 20001., making a reduction of rather more than is. per man per ann. In this view Mr. MAIIERL'IPS motion is more entitled to support, and we are not without hopes that one of these days the transfer may yet be made. The CHANCELLO R of the ExcncouEß d oes not feel himself bound. to support a bad plan because now in use, if a better one suggests itself, and a little consid erat i on will shew the truth of what we have before stated. As to the objection made last night of the in not at any duty by t c h r i e e as i e n d cre t a e s m e p o ta f ti t o h t e i amloouenLadiet couldthe time be very powerful, and it a l together fails, num ber by taking off one bra nc h o f taxation you withcati give nlore augmentedeffec effect, b because vigilance ause o f the t d ecreased num o another, a n d of persons you have to cope with, The report in the City thi s morning, that Rangoon had been destroyed by fire by the Burmese, with all the stores and warehouses, had an effect on Consols, and caused them to lower 4 per cent.; but the well-informed state that it is only a repetition of the late G azette published by Government on our Indi a A ir • rs at and it is entirely discredited. ) COPENHAGEN, AP4IL 23.—A letter from Nor way says, " The wire works at Eidsrald, belonging t o t h e late Counseller K.

Ar.staca's.—Almack's Ball on Wednesday was attetded by nearly 500 of the limit toe.

MASQUEIIADE.—A very numerous assemblage of the Votaries of Mirth attended at the Kt 14' G's THEATRE last night. There was the usual proportion of Friars with no devo tion but to the bottle, Shepherdesses whose rural cares never ex tended beyond Hyde-park, Nuns rather belonging to Venus than to Diana, Dancers with leaden feet, besides a motley tribe of fantastic and grotesque characters, who altogether blended without disorder, w ere present. All united - harmoniously in partaking of a good supper and plenty of wines, anti seemed likely to prorong their revels till a very late, or rather a very early hour. eONTERSAZIONI.-The last of these entertain ments for the present season, given by Mr. SAss, in Charlotte_ street, Bloomsbury, took place yesterday evening, - and was numerously attended by several professors of the lib era l arts , as well as by many of his private friends. This method of bringing persons of genius and science in contact, and thereby promoting an amicable and intellectual intercourse, is highly creditable to the ingenious host. Several rooms were opened containing models, pictures, &c. &c. and the tables were covered with valuable books. The company remained till a late hour, reluctant to take leave of so friendly and scientific a gratifi cation. AN ELOPEMENT AND A YFRAT.—Last might, between nine and ten o'clock, a post coach drove rapidly through the Marsh Gate, and had not proceeded far on . the Kennington road, before three gentlemen on horseback, who quickly followed, passed the gate and stopped the chaise, from which a young nian jumped and endeavoured to escape, but was knocked down by one of the gentlemen, who got into the chaise, and desired the driver to return back to r George-atreet, 'Westminster, where he started from. A lady was in the chaise, and her screams could be heard at a. very considerable distance. She also endeavoured to get out of the coach, but was prevented by the gentleman. A crowd soon collected, and one of the pursuers explained that the lady was the wife of a medical man residing at the west end of the town, and was the mother of four children, and had eloped with the young man, who for a short time had been on a visit in the family. The young man attempted to deny this, but before he had delivered one sentence, the two gentlemen, Who turned out to he the lady's brothers, commenced belabour. ing him with their whips, and he in retu r n ma ki ng a sp i r i te d resistance, a ki n d of ba ttle-royal ensued, which ended in his "being taken in charge by the watchman. The lady was driven off in the coach before the affray commenced. • • ' -,--' .-: , - . A.e° l :sz.., • • • , n O.

SCOTTISH HospiTAL.—Yesterday, the Anni. versary Dinner of the Spring Meeting of this excellent' Insti tution, took place at the Freemasons' Tavern. The Chair was occupied by Lord GLENORCHY, supported by Sir P. Durham, Sir W. Maxwell, Sir D. Anstruther, Sir It. Birnie, the Hon. Mr. Dundas, &c. The object of this Charity is to relieve pocr and distressed Scotchmen, who, having no claim to parochial assistance, would be beggars and vagrants in the streets of the Metropolis, were it not for the exertions of this laudable Cor poration. The relief given is not confined to the distribution of small pen: • ins to those who reside in London, but numbers are supplied with the means to return to their native country, and many men, women, and children, are every ye ar e n a bl e d to go back to Scotland. Last year, from the Ist of May, 1824, to the 30th of of April last, this Corporation gave aid to 1,288 in dividuals, many of whom were sent home to their native land, the expences of their passage being paid. When the adventu rous and emigrating spirit of the Scotch is considered, aral , that all of them do not succeed in realizing their ambitious hopes, and acquire wealth and independence, but many must fail in the pursuit, and become the victims of want and disease, the advantages of this Charity are rendered sufficiently obvious.— Such seemed to be the case last night, when from 3001. to 4001. were collected. Much conviviality prevailed, many songs were rung, and Sinclair gave " Auld lang syne," in his best style. JUDGMENT.—This day, in th e C our t o f R ING 'S BENCH, Thomas Cobden and Edward Pattison, two officers belonging to the Board of Excise appeared o n th e fl oor o f t h e Court for judgment. It appeared their occupation was at a paper-mill in Tent; it was their duty to see all paper legally stamped and entered, In which capacity, how ever, they had contrived to carry on a systematic fraud for h eig teen months, by which the Revenue sustained a 1o:is to a very considerable amount in charging duty on reams of paper not legally stamped.—Mr. Justice BAYLEY sentence d Cobden to 18 months confinement in the House of Correction at Maid stone, and Pattison to 12 months in the same gaol. EISTEDDVOD.—Lord Clive and Sir C. Morgan, Bart.,• of Tredegar, are appointed Presidents of the day, at the approach ing meeting of the Welsh Bards and Minstrels, in London. LIsT9IS is returned to town after his excursion to Edinlitt&h, where his success has been complete. The Comedy of Sweethearts and Wives was repeated eight times in the Theatre Royal of the metropolis of the North—a circum.: . • stance nearly unexampled, and a marked tribute to the talents` of this favourite actor. Liston is going to Cheltenham to rus ticate, with a view to renovate his health, before the commence ment of his summer campaign, at the little Theatre, in the Haymarket. FUSELT was the last surviving member of the Royal Academy who was not an Englishman. in consequence of a hoard being erected round York House, and the small houses at the back of it, which are shortly to be pulled down, it has been found necessary to close the gate leading to the Green Park by the King's Library.
