raw roIEI6N INTELLIGENCE. bzsa FRtNCII • - (From the Etoile, dated Saturday.) BOURDEAUx, FEEL 6. .According to a letter from Ciu dad ROdrigo :received at Bourdeaux, and of the most re cent date, the cause of the Portuguese Royalists is nearly desperate. Three Generals, and a great number of priests and monks, have arrived in this latter town, while the of ficeri and s oldiers,. who have remained in Portugal, have taken advantage of the amnesty to submit to the Constitu tional Gavernment.—Memorial Bordelais. The Commissary-General (Intendant) of the English Army has given notice that the Commissaries who accom pany the brigades and the regiments are authorized to enter into contracts for the supply of provisions and forage, for which they will pay in ready money. Contracts are required for NO to 1,200 oxen, which are to be delivered, at the rate of 200 per week, at the head-quarters. Mr. Lamb, the English Ambassador, was ready to set out from. Madrid, and a report is this moment spread, we know bot on what foundation, that he set out for London on the 30th January.—lndicateur de Bordeaux. LIES OF THE DAY. PARIS, FEB. 9.—The Journal du Commerce.—Tumul tuous scenes took place on the 28th January, at Valla dolid, and a General Officer has come to inform his Ma jegy of a . considerable fermentation observed among the Spanish troops assembled on the frontiers. The Journal des Debats.—Mr. Lamb has left Madrid to proceed to Lisbon (I.) The same.—The Regiment of Infantry of Volunteers of Arragon, has deserted into Portugal. The Quotidienne.—The Marquis de Chaves is at Bra ganza, with 6or 7,000 men. General Villa Flor has been beaten by the Portuguese Royalists. Yesterday, at midnight, the thermometer of Chevalier was at,s deg. below Zero; this morning, at six o'clock, 7; at seven o'clock, 7 4-10 ; at noon, 4. (From the Quotidienne.) MIVATX CORRESPONDKNCE. MADRID, JAN. 31.—The Infant Don Sebastian has en tirely recovered from his indisposition. This Prince has accompanied the Princess de Beyta, his mother, to the Royal residence of Pardo. The 2d of next month, their Majesties and their Royal Highnesses come to Madrid, to be present at the festival of the Purification. The Royal Family will immediately afterwards return to Pardo. All the letters which arrive from Badajos agree in de claring that the fortresses of Yelves - and Campo Mayor have been taken possession of by the English troops_ No regard has been paid to the severity of the winter, or to the difficulties of the road, in so great a hurry were the • English Generals to take up positions at a distance from Lisbon. The spirit of the inhabitants of that capital produces the greatest uneasiness. It is displayed daily in acts of discon tent, and even in the assassination of individuals. The re -medy, however, which has been, as is believed, discovered, appears very ill chosen, for the appearance of the English troops in the fortresses produces the worst effect upon the Portuguese and upon the troops that remain faithful to the Regency. It is even asserted that already a great number of Portuguese troops have disappeared from the stations occupied by the English. The Spanish Government is making arrangements for considerably augmenting the military force which has been collected on the frontiers of Portugal, especially in the corps d'arniee of Old Ckstille. The regiment of provincial mi litia of- Toledo has arrived at Zamora. Other regiments which were cantoned in the interior of Old Castille, have advanced towards the frontiers, in the neighbourhood of Ciajdita Rodrigo and Alcanizas. A regiment from Burgos is-expected at Madrid, as well as several corps which would era tbis have quitted Catalonia, had they not been detained by bad weather. The whole of these will merely pass through the capital, and will immediately march towards she frontiers,whither the sth regiment of light infantry will precede them. Lientenant-General Sarsfield, the Commander-in-Chief of the Army of Observation, who has arrived here from Catalonia, is to set out again to-day to go to his post. This General, after having been admitted to pay his res pecti to the King, was present yesterday at the Council of Ministers, held at Pardo. General Monet, who, as was said, had been recalled, in order to take the place of General Longa, in the com mand of Old Castille, is merely to csinunand in Ciudad Rodrigo; he has set out for that destination, As to General Longa, he does in fact quit his command, but he retains permission to retire to Santona, Burgos de Osma, or San Andero, as he may see fit. The Marquis Monte-Hermoso is named Adjutant-Gene ral of the corps of Volunteer Royalists. The new Ambassador from the King of Saxony, arrived here two daya ago, with a numerous and brilliant suite. It is asserted, that Mr. Lamb is to quit Madrid, and to proceed to Lisbon, in order to take the place of Sir Wil liam A'Court, who is to proceed as Ambassador, it is said, to one of the Northern Courts. - - MADRID, JAN. 29.—(Private Correspondence.)—Mr. Lamb quits this capital for Lisbon, whence, it is believed, he will return to London. He, yesterday, gave a grand farewell dinner to the Diplomatic Body. The Secretary of Legation remains Charge d'Affaires until the return of Mr. Lamb, or, what is more probable, the arrival of his successor. His departure produces a great sensation.— General Sarsfield is here, and refuses to take the command of the Army of Observation, if the two commanders of division, Sexti and Rodil, are not removed; but these two Generals are powerfully supported by the Apostolical party. There is a current report that the infantry regiment of the Arragon volunteers, which was at 4lcantara, is gone into Portugal. This report has been spread in consequence of the arrival of two couriers, despatched immediately after eachby General St. Jean. It is certain that, immediately after, orders were given by the Ministry at War, to send to Valencia One of the regiments' which, form a part of the quarter general of Talaveira. The partial desertion from ai l d the corps of the Army of Observation becomes every day inore alarming, and thus that is verified which I stated at the beginning of the formation of this Army—that is, it will serve to reinforce the army of the Marquess de Chaves, for letters from the frontiers of Tras-os-Montes announce, that eery day Spanish soldiers are seen passing to join the Portuguese Rebels. The Comiliander of the Royalist Volunteers of Madrid has been sent to the Palace, and interrogated by his Ma jesty, as to the servioes which could be expected from those troops, in case of ari . ; necessity arising for their use. But the answer was not vary satisfactory ; for his Majesty was informed that no reliance could be placed on man un accustomed to tight, and who had only become soldiers to commit violence, under the protection of their uniform; moreover, their services would be the most expensive; for, being generally workmen, without other means than their labont to maintain their families, the government would be obliged to support them during the time of ser vice._ FBBIWARY 2.—This morning, Mr. Lamb had a very sharp explanation with M. Zambrano, on the subject of the re-entrance of the Portuguese into Spain. The British Envoy reproaches our Government with having left open eighteen leagues to the rebels, without taking any step either for arresting their progress, or for disarming them, as had been agreed an. The answer of M. Zarnbrano i s n ot known; but it is well known that M. Calemarde con tinues to enjoy the utmost favour; and that a diplo matic attempt, the object of Which was to disgrace M. Salmon, produced no effect. Mr. Lamb, for the third time, is making preparations for his departure, M. d'Ofalia, who was preparing to set out for London, has received orders to defer his joutee.., th e presumed de parture of Mr. Lamb rendering the remove) of M. d'Ofalia unnecessary.

By private letters, dated Madrid, Feb. 2, A app ea r e d, that Mr. Lamb was still there.... Tote of the Etpik, Spanish Embassy. Count Casa Flores departs, and his Secretary of the Embassy will fulfil the functiops of Charge d'Affaires. The forces of the Spanish troops assembled on the fron tiers, amount to 9,661 infantry and 1,242 cavalry—total 10,963; one brigade of which consisting of 2,441 infantry and 367 cavalry is under the command of Major-General Don Ramon Rodil. Another brigade of 3,364 infantry and 875 cavalry, is under the command of Major-General Don Carlos Sesti : and, finally, another brigade 3,856 (infantry) strong, is under the orders of Major-General Don Felix Uniell. To these troops should be added, those which are to compose the army of observation, and which are at present assembling in the cities of Truxillo, and of Talavera de la Reim, in Spain, under the orders of Lieutenant General Don Pedro Sarsfield, Commander-in-Chief. Such an as semblage of forces, on the part of the Spanish Cabinet, will naturally cause the necessity of a corresponding number of Anglo-Portuguese troops on the frontiers of Portugal. MADRID, JAN. 29.—(Private Correspondence.)—Three couriers extraordinary arrived here yesterday, one after the other, to the Minister of War ; one from Galicia, sent by General Eguia, and the other two from Estremadura, despatched from Valencia d'Alcantara, by General St. John. Contrary to custom, the greatest silence is ob served at present, respecting the contents of the despatches of these three couriers. It is said Geniral Eguia has announced the continuance of the partial desertions among his troops, and a great ef fervescence in the public mind, particularly in that part of Galicia, which borders on Corunna, St. Jaques, and Vigo ; from which the General apprehends that these cities will openly declare in favour of the Constitution, if garrisons be not kept up sufficient to repress the fermentation, which is every day becoming greater. You know that ever since 1523, the spirit of freedom seemed to exist more in Galicia, than in other provinces of Spain. General St. John announces, according to the rumours which I quote, something more positive—nothing less than the desertion of a great part of the regiment of Arragon, which is infantry. With respect to this said regiment, I can assure you, that when it lately set out from Saragossa for Valencia Alcantara, it was so little disposed in favour of absolute government, that several Liberals who were persecuted in the former city, quitted it with this regiment, which protected them during their route, until they arrived on the frontiers of Portugal. It is said also that the Spanish troops sent in pursuit of the deserters, from the regiment of Arragon, passed the frontiers, and were there repulsed by the Portuguese Con stitutionalists. Such are the rumours in circulation re specting the three couriers which arrived yesterday. If they are not entitled to complete credence, neither are they to be totally rejected. (EXTRACT OF ANOTHER PRIVATE. LETTER.) It seems that the disgrace of Calomarde was a piece of simulation on the part of the Spanish Ministry, who, con sistent in their system of deception, thought that France and England would be the dupes of their words. They have merely deprived him of that sort of presidency of the Ministry which he enjoyed, but he is still no less the Mi nister of Grace and Justice, by the exclusive favour of the King. As to Count Offalia, instead of giving him the portfeuille, he is named Member of the Council of Minis ters, as well as Lieutenant-General Venegas. Much is promised, but little to he got at Madrid. The Infant Don Carlos, and the two Portuguese Princesses, have an as cendancy which nothing can counterbalance. It was by their influence that the Captains-General St. John and Mazano Eguia, retained their posts, which they were said lately to have been deprived of, as well as M. de Carvagal. General Canterac, the same who had been in Peru, is named Captain-General of Old Castile, in stead of General Longa. PROGRESS OF REFORMATION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia—As by your inserting my former letter in your valuable paper, you proved yourself interested in the concerns of this un happy country, I am about to give you some further particulars connected with the progress of Reformation. The visit of Mr. Pope to this place seems to have given the first impetus to the vast machine which is now put in motion, for converting from error, folly, and wickedness the minds of our thousands so long held in the chains of superstition ; this machine gathers strength as it proceeds. You will of course have seen the report of the speeches made on the esta blishment of the Reformation Society in Cavan ; but we are assured that the same spirit is working, though more secretly, in this county, and indeed in some degree generally throughout Ireland. In the parishes immediately about this, our excellent Clergy men, ever active in the performance of their ministerial duties have been stirred up by the eloquence of Mr. Pope, and the force of truth to exert themselves more especially against Popery and its doctrines; lectures are established in two or three cabins in each parish, there the Gospel is freely preached - to the poor, and the errors of Popery set forth. The Roman Catholics attend by two's and three's at each lecture, and sometimes venture even to the Clergyman's house to ask questions on some of those well known tests with which their Priests have endeavoured to support their creed. I know for a fact that there are some persons in many parishes around who would come out of Babylon, but are withheld from publicly reading their recantation by their well founded appre hensions about their own lives—if one or two are given courage to come forth, it is confidently expected that we should here shew the same fruits of preaching the truth as have so satis factorily manifested themselves in Cavan, The Pope's legate has been sent to preach at a neighbouring Chapel to warn the flock against listening to those who would beguile unstable souls, and to denounce from the Altar the Clergy man to whose zealous exertions it is owing that so many are being daily converted, and describing, as blasting efforts, his speaking faithfully the words of truth. I assure you, Mr. Editor, in happy England, y ou little know the arduous life of a Clergyman in this country; generally lie has not above one family in his parish, with whom he can take " sweet counsel together ;" all his other parishioners are of the poorest sort, he is daily engaged in instructing the children at • the schools, yisitlng the helpless and ignorant, administering comfort in the hours of death to many a poor fever patient, and undergoing all changes of weather in those cabins where there is not a seat on which he can sit down, and where damp and smoke, combining with filth and disease, render his escape from infection little less than miraculous, and chew the merciful super intendence of a gracious Providence over his ministering servants. What would many clergymen in happy England say to this pic ture? would they like thus to take up their cross and follow the fortune of that Master who went about doing good ? These are the real Missionaries, though not in a foreign land. Besides these private meetings we are, shortly to have public .lectures by the clergymen in turn, taking each some leading error which has been supported by such deceivableness of unrighteousness • thiS we look to with much hope, as many will go and hear, and we know that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God; Tracts also, on time doctrine of Purgatory, Extreme Unc tion, &c. are slily obtained, read, and returned, Without a remark, and others borrowed ; this must work for good, and the time, we trust, is rapidly approaching when Ireland will be emancipated. Longford, Feb. .6, 1827,. K. It is very gratifying to announce to our readers that the progress of manufacturing improvement is not impeded—it is slow, though certain. The owners of building property are now the greatest sufferers ; they were induced by the prospect of ex travagant rents, to lay out their capital in a manner which cannot be remunerative. The same principles applies to those, who, when the rage for speculation was at its highest, offered great premiums for licensed houses, and spared neither trouble nor expense in obtain ing licenses—these pet sons are now sufferers. On the whole, we feel warranted in asserting that our prospects wear a cheering aspect, and that though we ought not to expect that state of ;ff,i'rs to be renewed, which led to great profits, still we may attain to that state of commercial prosperity which will place our manufacturers in easy circumstances, and afford them the means of employ ing all those who are willing to work at present prices. Much, however, depends on the appr oachin g sale of Silk at the East In dia House, which, of course, engages much of the attention of our manv f a cinr,ers ; at present, they have the prospect of increased prices for the raw riggerial, with lower prices for the manufac tured goods ; should this prospect he realized, our anticipations of manufacturing p ros p erit y must bp disappointed ;—the profit of the master must be decreased, or rather rendered nugatory, and the wages of the artizan be still further reduced.—The result of the Company's sale of silks will be, by us, faithfully reported.— ,Afacclsifield Herald, BRITISH ROCK AND PATENT SALT COMPANY. ASPECIAL GENERAL MEETING will be holden at the City of London Tavern, on TUESDAY, the 20th February instant, to take into consideration certain arrange ments which the Directors have made with Mr. Furnival, by which his connexion with the Company has entirely ceased. . .

We received last night the Paris Papers of Friday, and the Etoile dated Saturday morning. The Funds declined on Friday about half per cent., but the cause of the fall does not appear, unless it may be traced to the new doubts respecting the conduct of FERDINAND which seem to have sprung up. Some of the Papers mention that the disgrace of CALOMARDE was merely an act of simulation, as he was only deprived of the Presidency, and has been allowed to retain his appointment of Minister of, Grace and Justice ; that the Infant Don CARLOS and the two Portuguese Princesses maintain an ascendancy- which nothing can counterbalance ; and that Mr. LAMB, unable to bring any of the points of discussion to a satisfactory termi nation, had actually left Madrid on the 30th January, for Lisbon. This latter report the Etoile classes under LIES OF THE DAY, and states, in a Note, that Mr. LAMB was still in Madrid on the 2d inst. The Etoik also contradicts the statements of the Quoti dienne that Count DE VrLL A FLOR had been de feated by the Marquis DE CHAVES, in a renewed engagement ; and a statement in the Constitutionnel, that some of the Spanish troops on the frontiers of Portugal had deserted into that kingdom. In fact the whole of the. accounts from the Peninsula are vague and contradictory ; but one thing seems certain, that FERDINAND has not acted with respect to the Portuguese deserters in such a manner as to confirm the opinion which some have hastily taken up of the sincerity of his professions of neutrality.

It is affirmed that no mention is made in it of new dikes and other similar works, only those which are begun are to be completed. It is said that the sums that were required have been provided for by continuing in force the laws of the pre ceding year. If this is the case it will probably lead to long debates It is affirmed that the project for the organization of the Courts of Justice has not hitherto met with a favourable reception in the sections. The 18 Provincial Courts are generally disapproved of. The Jong Adriana, Captain G. J. Meux, from Batavia, with coffee, arrived at Flushing on the 3d February. There has been a very great fall of snow in some parts of the Duchy of Luxemburg, and the communication has been interrupted. On the 3d, several carriages, going to Hilbert, were obliged to he left in the snow, taking out the horses. A collection of 23,000 florins has been made at Ainsterdam for the 40,000 sick poor in that city. We have received the Batavia Journal of the 29th September, which contains the reports of Major-General Van Geen, on the military operations to the 13th September, which we have men tioned in a forme number of our journal It contains also several decrees of the Commissioners-General. F in . 9.—The - Magellan, from Antwerp, arrived on the 18th of September at Batavia, with a detachment of troops from the Netherlands. The•following is the Royal Message which accompanied the new budget presented in the sitting of the Ist of February :-- " In consequence of the wish which your assembly has express ed, we have taken into consideration the project of law, concern ing the second part of the budget, of the expense of the kingdom for the year 1827. On this occasion, our attention has been fixed on the observations which were made in your debates on the sub ject, and we now present to you new projects of law for the regu lation of this part of the budget, and to determine the means of meeting the expenses comprehended in it. " If, on the one hand, it has been agreeable to us to have been able to acquiesce, in part, in those observations, we must, on the other hand, observe with regret, that the recent disaster of our marine, and the knowledge which we have acquired of the unfa vourable state of the finances in our East India possessions, in consequence of the continuation of the wur in those countries, have placed us under the necessity of increasing this new budget by expenses which could not be foreseen when the first was drawn up. " However, your assembly will see with pleasure, that notwith standing these circumstances it has been possible to effect some re duction of the expenses. " The annexed memoir and calculation will enable you to judge of the changes made in the first project. francs " The new budget amounts to the sum of 23,724,013 " The first budget to " Excess'" .................................... 2,653,604" The verylong explanations anne xed detail the reasons arising from mth eunfwourable state of th e Colonial Treasury, which makes it necessary to provide the sum of 1,400,000 florins to pay the interest of the loan of 1826, which is guaranteed by the State, but which it was hoped the colonies would be able to pay from • The expences for 1826 were set down at 20,082,433.

The sum of one million of florins is placed at his Majesty's dis posal for unforeseen cases. ketia for the injury they had done them. General Yermoloff granting in the name of the Emperor the pardon they solicited has ordered the woods surrounding their village to be cut down, in order to render the access to it more easy for the troops. Tranquillity prevails on the frontiers of Persia. A detachment of Persian cavalry, which attacked one of our Nomads camps, near die Araxea, could not do any injury to the inhabitants, and was even repulsed with loss. In order to prevent similar at tempts, part of our van-guard has gone from Akouglane towards the bridge of Koupopernisk, to he better able to protect the banks of the Araxes. Towards the Steppe of Mongan, the inspection of the frontier is confided to the detachment of Colonel Mistchenko, placed near the ford of Djavat and on the Koura. The last letters from Berlin, inform us of the death of the Duke of York, on the sth of January, after a long and painful illness. JANUARY 26. The Commercial Gazette has published the following table of the receipt of Customs 'at St. Petersburgh, during the last five years, which shews the good effects of the tariff of 1822 still in force :—The Duties of Customs were— In 1822 21,662,042 1823 22,368,080 1824 27,234,043 1825 30,798,650 1826 '31,989,384 So that the last year shows an increase of 10,327,342 rubles above the receipt of 1824. EXCHANGE ON LONDON, JAN. 26.—Three months, 9 15-16. HANOVER, rzs. 2. The general assembly of the States of the Kingdom has resumed its sittings. Count Von Platen-Hallermand, Hereditary Postmaster- General, is appointed President by his Majesty on the presentation of the Chambers. The refusal of the Austrian Minister to give to cer tain French Marshals the titles they bear, continues to excite a very strong feeling in France, and has called forth some highly inflammatory appeals to the public mind. The Journal des Debats contains a poem by VICTOR HUGO on this subject. France, says the Poet, is not yet so far humbled that she will suffer an outrage. " Contre une injure ici tout s'unit, tout se !eve, Tout s'arme ; et la Vendee aiguisera son glair', Sur la pierre de Waterloo." The Poet we think would have shown better taste if he had not referred to Waterloo, but contented him self with those places which were the scenes of battles which terminated very differently for the honour of the French Army than the Field of Waterloo. The Etoile contaims a long letter on this subject, in ANhich the writer observes, that the offended persons appear to have been rather too hasty in their resent ment, however natural it may be; and that the term insolent Foreigner, applied to Count APporry by Count SEGUR, was entirely improper, and quite out of place in the House of Peers, which has nothing to do with the question. The writer goes on state— BERLIN, FEB. 3. His Majesty continues in good health, and the improvement of the foot proceeds as well as can be desired. Gibraltar Chronicles and Commercial Lists, to the 22d January inclusive, are received. The only extract of the least interest is from the latter : " That this pretension was in fact brought forward by Austria, in 1814, and has never been abandoned, though Baron Vincent eluded the difficulty by never giving written invitations, and by never being in his drawing-room to receive his company, but waiting till they were all assembled, so that it was not necessary to announce any body by name. It is further to be observed, he says, that Austria does not object to titles derived from victories, such as the Prince of Wa gram, Prince of Eckmuhl, Duke of Valmy, &c. but it objects to those which are not derived from such a source, but are mere titles of a feudal nature ? If, adds the writer, Lord Nelson was called Baron of the Nile, and the Duke of Wellington Prince of Waterloo, we cannot but acknowledge that these titles are merit ed ; but if Russia, England, Austria, and Prussia, should choose to give their Generals the title of Dukes of Burgundy, Isle de France, &c., we should certainly not recognise them. Our Ge nerals need not be at a loss for titles derived from brilliant vic tories, which would be equally merited and indisputable." GIBRALTAR, Jaw. 22.—Last night there arrived at Algesiras, a Spanish sloop and two brigs of war, from Cadiz, said to be for the purpose of conveying a regiment going from Ceuta to the Canaries, for which vessels have been freighted and sent from hence. A corvette, a brig schooner, and a schooner of war, have been for some time stationed at Algesiras. Quarter to 4. P. M. 3 brigs, (1 English,) and an English ship, from the westward, hays just anchored. We understand that the vacant Judgeship will not be filled up till after the Circuits, in order to enable the LORD CHANCELLOR to make some new arrangements in the Court of Exchequer. The opinion of the profession is still decidedly in favour of Sergeant VAUGHAN% The chances are, that sooner or later this foolish question will involve the two countries in hostilities. The discussion will engender feelings and an excite ment which are not likely to be allayed without bleed ing—the sure resource of nations, as of some doctors with their patients. It must be very distressing to the feelings of Mr. CANNING that his conduct with regard to Portugal should 'not have met with the approbation of some of the London Journalists. « What is the applause of listening Senates," when set off against the disappro bation of a writer in the Morning Herald ? Whether it is for the display of singularity or for some inexplicable reason, we know not, but that Journal has been of late very severe on poor Mr. CANNING. It should really consider that in his present state of health such animadversions may be attended with serious consequences—in deed who knows but they may have occasioned his illness. The writer of an article which appeared on Saturday fancies that the Right Hon. Gentleman, in what is called his Portuguese Expedition, was actuated by a poetical imagination. N ow we never heard 'till now of poetic imagination carrying a man farther than the description of battles, but we presume that a spurious love of eclaL, was what the writer meant. But is he dull enough to think, that had Mr. CANNING been under the influence of such feelings, he would not have protracted rather than crushed the war in Portugal, or does he suppose that Mr. CANNING stands in need of farther renown? Is he not at the summit of human ambition ? Is not his existence viewed as of essential importance to the prosperity not only of England, but of Europe, and of the world, which might be thrown back half a cen tury, were his controlling influence unhappily with drawn? And what can a man wish fot more than the consciousness of holding such a proud position ? What dire offence from martial causes springs, What mighty contests rise from trivial things ! Reports have been for some time in circulation that Spain was about to send to this country a person charged with a special diplomatic mission ; and the arrival of a Spanish Nobleman, in London, who has proceeded to Brighton to obtain an interview with Mr. CANNING, as soon as the state of the Right Mon. Gentleman's health will permit, has given rise to new reports connected with this subject. At present nothing certain is known as to the objects of his mission, if this Nobleman is really charged with communications from his Court.

The ice has accumulated in such a manner at Pannerden, as to block up both the mouths of the river, and it is very thick, so that much apprehension is felt for the consequences. linuctuEN, FEB. 6. The accounts from the Upper part of the Rhine, are unfavour able. At Caub the water had risen between the 15th and 30th January, no less than 22 feet, so that the whole neighbourhood was under water. On the 31st, however, it fell nearly nine feet. At Cologne the water had risen, but not so much. At Grave it has fallen since yesterday 21 inches. The ice is firm, and car riages pass over it. Here too heavy loads pass the ice, but the water continues to fall. ARNHIIM, FEB. '7. The Rhine is now falling here as well as at the other places. hears, JAN. 25. The inclemency of the season is very remarkable even in the southern parts of Italy ; wind, rain, snow, and ice, follow each other in rapid succession. On the 19th Reaumur's thermometer was at 4. below freezing, and on the morning of the 20th 44. ; this is the severest cold we have had at Rome since 1808, when the thermometer was at 5. below freezing. This severe cold has been suddenly succeeded by the Sirocco, which has brought so much water and so melted the snow in the neighbouring mountains that the Tiber yesterday overflowed its banks in several parts of the city, at the beginning of last night it was 13 meters and 9 decimeters above its usual level, it then began to fall a little, and this morning had decreased half a decimeter. NEWS FROM THE ARMY IN GEORGIA, JAN. 2. - • ST. PETENSBURGH, JAN. 24. On the 12th (24th) December, General Yermoloff, falling back from the province of Scheken to the river Alazan (in Kaketia), sent to Tiflis a part of the troops that accompanied him, and with the remainder effected his junction with the forces stationed near the villages of Tchary and Gogami, under the command of Lieu tenant-General Prince Eristoff. A party of Lesghis and mountaineers, who had been plunder ing in Kaketia, fearing the punishment which they merited, h a d placed themselves in ambush near the village of Tchary, on an eminence named Zakataly, surrounded by steep moun tains, and covered with forests, depending on the strength of their position, they persevered in their disobedience till the arrival of General Yermoloff, when they changed their minds. The Elders of Tchary waited on the Ge neral, and asked pardon for tfieir crime. They restored the pri soners they had taken, gave hostages chosen from the best fami lies, and engaged to send away the mountaineers whom they had NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) PORTSMOUTH, FEB. 10.—On Thursday the Harrier, 18, Capt. Morrier, arrived from the River, and will sail to-morrow for the Cork station.—This is the only ship at Spithead. The strong easterly winds which have prevailed during the week, have no doubt prevented our having any foreign arrivals. There has been no intelligence from Lisbon these twenty-two days. The crews of homeward-bound merchant ships, which may have got into soundings, when the gales set in, must suffer greatly from the intense cold. A ship lately passed up Channel, which was 35 days in soundings. The Challenger, 28, Captain Hayes, C.B. will go out of Har bour on the 20th instant. It is supposed that all the ships of the Experimental squadron will not be ready until the middle of next month. Lieutenant W. N.
