(From the Moniteur, Dec. 17.) -.4.1.1(1611URGH, DEC. 11.—The Infant Don Miguel arrived this morning at three o'clock, at the hotel of the Three Moors, and his Royal Highness set out this morning, at half-past eight, for Paris. The Count de Villa Real, Ambassador from .Portugal to the Court of London, and Counts Millo and Sal danha, were in his suite. (From the Constitutionnel.) PARIS, DEC. I6.—There was yesterday a large number of members of the Council assembled at M. de Villele's. Besides all the Ministers, M. de Mar tignac and several other persons were present. It is said that the Ministers declared unanimously that they would remain in office. 'BARCELONA, DEC. B.—An extraordinary Courier arrived this morniiig from Madrid, to announce that the Perle frigate, from the Havannah, had arrived at Cadiz, having on board a million of ,dollars for the Government. He had hardly reached us before the Bill-brokers were employed by Government to take up all the bills drawn on Cadiz, and on Madrid.— This money has arrived opportunely, for the Court had not enough for its most indispensible espences. (From the Courrier Francais.) PARIS, DEC. 16.—1 t is said, that the recent au dience obtained of the King by the Prince Polignac, had For its object the propriety of his speedy returning itti his Embassy at London. He has now been for some months at Paris, on leave. Nothing is more simple than this in our diplomacy; for people do not enter into it on account of France, but, on their. own account, and to enjoy a handsome salary: It is of little consequence where the revenue of a sine cure is spent. At present we have no Ambassadors either at London, Petersburgli, Vienna, Spain, or at Washington. ur_ business goes on of itself, and see, in consequence, what influence we possess abroad—see how the Dey of Algiers trembles at our blockade, and at the great expedition preparing to be sent against Min in the spring. 13AIICELONA, DEC. S.—Since their Majesties arrived here they have visited no places but the Churches. It is said that they are to remain at Barcelona . till the end of February: Up to this moment there are, no signs that the past will be forgotteli ; and theugh the Government is aware of the rzviis we suffer, it seems to have no intention of remedying them. BUCHAREST, Nov. 26.—N0 news has been re ceived here direct from Constantinople, of . a Liter 'date than the llth, but it seems certain that the re port of the departure of the Ministers of the Allied Powers was unfounded. The Seraskier, who com mands in Silistria, received despatches from Con stantinople, dated the 20th, and at that time the city_ was perfectly tranquil.; that the negotiations with the Austrian lnternuncio were continued, and. that - , the three Ministers bad not left .their posts; but what seems more important is, that a firman.of the Sultan, brought by ,Tartars, to all the, Commandants of .the fortresses on the Danube, enjoins them to prevent, till runner u. tiers, all ch. Tuths 41 Llica vi belonging to the - troops stationed along the river, to pass. Only merchants provided with passports are allowed to cross the Danube and enter Moldavia and WalliChia. According to this, things are to remain oil their ancient footing. This firman'proves that the Porte seeks to avoid every thing which mightleek like a violation of the last Treaties with Russia, and might bring the troops of that Power on the Ottoman territory. The arrival of such orders is regarded here as satisfactory evidence of pacific invitations, and it is hoped the crisis will pass with out bloodshed. VIENNA, DEC. 7.—The Austrian Observer, in its yesterday's Paper, takes the part of Ibrahim Pacha. " We have at length received," it says, " authentic news of every thing which happened at Navarin, from the sth to the 19th of November, and the state of affairs in that town and in the Morea, since the destruction of the fleet on the 20th of October. It is now proved that Ibrahim Pacha was not tlaere at the time, nor even in the southern part of the Morea. He had repaired to the interior, with the view of endeavouring to supply Patras with ,provi sions .by land, having been prevented from accom plishing it at the beginning of October by sea. Ac cording to other reports, he was on the road to Tri polizza, occupied in getting provisions. He did not return to Navarin till four (lays after the catastrophe, and his first act, when he arrived, was to publish an Order of the Day, in which it was said, that who ever insulted a Frank should be punished with death. He also granted protection to the Greeks, and neither before or since the 20th of October has Ibrahim Pacha rendered himself guilty of the acts of which he has been accused.* He is now occupied at Navarin in endeavouring to save some part of his fleet. The provisions holed in store will serve him for two or three months, and as Navarin is not blockaded, Ibrahim and his troops 'wiil want for nothing. PARIS, DEC. 16.—1 t is said in an account of the battle of Navarin, published in the shape of a letter from Smyrna, that the English Admiral, on entering Navarin, bad sent a boat on board the Turkish Ad miral, directing him to leave the port. FRANKFORT, DEC. IL--Letters from Vienna an nounce that the Porte adheres to the armistice pro posed by Austria, and that Ibrahim Pacha has in con sequence received orders to suspend all hostilities immediately. , The same letters announce that a Congress has been determined on at Constantinople, which, during the armistice, is to assemble at Oren, in Hungary, to which the Allied Powers and the Porte are to send Plenipotentiaries for the purpose of arranging, under the mediation of Austria and Prussia, all difficulties that may be opposed to the pacification of the East on the bases of the Treaty of the 6th July.

GREAT NATURAL CURIOSITY.--*As the workmen of Mr. Jo FIN Ariti NSON cabinet-maker, Rune lagh-street, were lately sawing up a log of Zebra-wood, from Rio Janeiro, they found, in the very centre, a large insect, alive and active. The wood was ten feet long, eighteen inches wide, and five inches thick. The insect, which is still lively, resembles a huge caterpillar, divested of hair. It is upwards of two inches long, and as thick as an ordinary man's finger. It is of a dull cream colour, has nine joints, or articulations, with a coloured spot on each side of every division. It has sharp teeth, or mandibles, w ith which it will seiz e firmly hold of a piece of paper, or o ther substance f Is.. --sontht into co nt a ct with its jaws.

It is useless to enter into the controversy which is going on between some of our Cotem poraries, relative to the rumours which have been afloat of Lord GOD:ERICH having tendered his resignationto his MAJESTY or not. It is suf ficient to repeat our assertiops of yesterday, that his Lordship remains at the head of the Ad ministration. The other rumours which are cir culated with so much alacrity, of subordinate changes, are also, we have reason to believe, without foundation. A letter is in town from Odessa, of the latest (late (27th of November), which mentions that the CAPSTAN PACHA had arrived at the capital, and given to the Turkish Go vernment a very different account of the affair at Navarin to that they were in possession of b e fo re : This had increased the SULTAN'S irritation very considerably, so that there appear ed no probability of a peaceful termination. By the same conveyance it is stated that ac count's had been received at Constantinople from Smyrna, ol a further conflict. hi unmeqUenCe of the forts of the latter port having fired on some of our vessels of war, Whether to warn them off or not to enter, the port . was not , known : this had been deemed an act of hostility on their part, and the result was the total destruction of the fortifications from which the insult had emanated ; there is also a report of the embargo which had been taken off having been resumed. ODESSA, Nov. 27.—A ship under the Rus sian Flag • arrived to-day, in four days, from Con stantinople. ilhe Captain of which reports, that four others sailed at the same time after several conferences between the Dragoman (two of them are now in sight). It appears that and the PORTE, the latter agreed 'to give clearances to the Austrian and Sardinian vessels, and two days afterwards to ships generally. All was quiet at Constantinople. Five ships have arrived, Russian, Sardinian, and Austrian. An Express has reached town this forenoon from Paris, by which the Gazette de France of yesterday morning has been received. It con tains the following articles, which, like some others that have lately appeared in that paper, seem to have been manufactured for the purpose of keeping up the-Funds: The French Funds, however, on Tuesday, were not much affected by these articles, as they closed, the Five per Cents. at 101 f. 75c., and the Three per Cents. at 681. 15c. In regard to the news from Constantinople, received by Government, which we gave yesterday, under the date of the 24th of November, we can now add that the Pucha of Egypt. was not much Nurrised at, the. destruction of his fleet, which he considered as compromised since the junc tion of the Allied squadrons ; and it is assured that he is greatly pressing the Porte to accede to the propositions of the Allied Powers, declaring at the same time that his resources are exhausted. It was on the 2d of November that an Egyptian corvette brought to the. Pacha the news of the engagement at Navarin. This event has not in the least changed his sen timents in his conduct in regard to the French. The corvette Dauphenoise, which brought the news, left Alexandria on the 7th ult. Private letters state that the Paella of Egypt has sent one of his Nobles to France, and another to St. Petersburgb. Our Correspondent from Frankfort, at the date of the 14th of December, writes as follows :—" The news which we received yesterday of a pacific character is confirmed to day by a courier . from Viana, at the departure of the courier. The Actions of the Bank, got up to 1,074. It is assured that the Reis Effendi declared his wish to commence direct negotiations with the Allied Ambassadors. This news has caused a movement in the Metalliques, which have got up to 90 9-16; the Actions 1,289-90 ; the Obligations 1161. The Paris Papers of Monday, and the Gazette de France dated Tuesday morning, reached us last night ; their contents ate unimportant. They contain no intelligence of the affairs of Turkey or Greece which had not been previously re- ceived. The Mon tour announces the. arrival of Don MIGUEL at Augsburgh on the 10th, and his Royal Highness'S departure from thence for Paris on the morning of the fith. The French Funds are rather lower.

(his Majesty the King of England), and the men who %rue entrusted during his minority with the Administration of his Government aM with his Educa tion," written by Count Munster, the Hanoverian Cabinet Minister, contains the following passage:---" I conjure his Highness not to try the patience of the King to the utmost. His Majesty has given a proof of his respect for the existing conventions in not making use of his power to protect himself against fresh accusations from the Duke. The Independent Princes of Germany have bound themielves by the AC't of Confederation not to decide their disputes by sirens ; but this law is not calculated for a case like that of the actual differences between the King and his Serene Highness." On the 24th November, there way a meeting of the Di rectors and Council of the Rhenish West India Company, at Elberfeld In the report presented .Dy the Directors, it was observed that ,the affairs of the urrent year tt's forded feW materials for printed communications to the shareholders, because the re-action of the commercial crisis of 1925 and 1826 had been felt at the close of the last and the beginning of the present year by an unparalleled -stagnation in the Colonial Markets, and an extraordinary scarcity of ready money, which had of course deterred the Directors from engaging in new undertakings. They would have been obliged entirely to suspend them for the present, had not his Majesty the King of Prussia been graciously pleased in the terms of the Cabinet Order, issued on the occasion, '' further to support the operations of the Rhenish West India Company at Elberfeld, hiits im portant and efficacious exertions for the promotion of the national commerce and Manufactures. 7. With this view his Majesty has taken the half of the shares still:undisposed of, viz., 500 shares at 500 dollars Prussian currency per share. The Company has thus obtained an addition of 250,000 dollars to its capital, and possesses at present a fund of 1,750,000 dollars. VIENNA, DEC. 7. His Royal Highness Don Miguel left us yesterday after noon at four o'clock. It is affirmed that her Majesty Queen Maria do Gloria, his future consort, will arrive here in the spring from Rio de Janeiro, to be educated at the Im perial Court. Her Majesty will land at Naples, and be as companied hither by her Imperial Highness the Archduchess Clementine. The Archduke Ferdinand of Este, General-in-Chief in Hungary, is hourly expected in the Palace of his mother, the Archduchess Beatrix. It is believed that bis Highness has been sent for to be present at the deliberation on the eventual measures which it would be neceerary to adopt on the frontiers of Hungary and Transylvania, in case of a breach between Russia and the Porte. Letters from Cadiz state, that by advices from Havannah of the 14th October, it appears that LABORDE was ready to sail with his fleet, in which several thousand troops had been em barked. Gibraltar Chronicles of the 29th November have been received ; it seems that sanguine ex pectations were entertained of a speedy adjust ment of the differences between France awl Algiers ; the former demands that the vesselscap tured by the latter shall be given up to the right ful owners as a sine qua non, to which the DET is not averse ; but he asserts it wilt be out of his power to persuade his subjects to divest them. selves of their prizes ; and if coercive measures were used, would excite great discontent, as those who have fitted out the corsairs are rich, and possess much influence. Even his own safety might be compromised. In such . case, no other 'res ource remains but to pay out a hii 'own purse ; but he protests against this arrange ment, and says it is intended to compel him to pay for. these French merehan't vessels cap tured by other nations bearing his flag. He adds, that not more titan six Vessels have been taken into Algerine. ports by his subjects, and he is willing to make compensation for_thesc ; but it would be an-.act of injustice to make his people pay for what they had received no benefit fkom- SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) ,FROM LLOYD'S.

ATTORNEY-GENERAL L MAYOR AND CORPORATION 01 WARWICK. Mr. SUGDEN appeared for the defendants in this' part heard matter, and continued his defence. The matter has been under discussion for several' days ; it ken old stager in this Court. The brief history of the thing is this ;--a dispute arose between the Corporation and the Vicar, upon the question of which ,of the parties had the right of appointing a Lecturer or Assistant to the parish church of St. Maiy, Warwick, of which the Vicar in question is Vicar. The Corporation have been in the habit, for a longtime back of paying the Lecturer. The Vicar ap pointed one(comparatively) lately; the Corporation re fused to acknowledge or to pay him. The Vicar pre sented a petition in a very old information, praying that the Court would order the. Corporation to pay the salary. The Corporation contended, that for time immemorial they had appointed the Lecturer, and that the right of appointment was in them. The Vicar brought forward one or two instances as evi dence of his r.ight,of appointment by his predecessors. The CoUrt referred it to the Master to inquire in whom the right of appointment was ; the Mas ter reported in favour of the Vicar;, and the matter was now brought on upon exceptions, to that report; and upon two petitionsthe one on the part'of the Vicar, praying that the report might be confirmed generally, with the exception of a poi , tion' Of evidence the Master had admitted; and • the. otheron the part of the Vicar also, praying, a r s mi. ginally, that the Corporation might be ordered to pay the Lecturer.

COURT . Fziii. O f V. 3IN.G'naSEBL,EzNsQC.II. who came to this count!), pla T in h t 4 i ffliliasttaSn:vehltsi°lßadf, w y o The ATTORI 4 ET-GENERAL stated the case. The the situation of governess. The defendant is gentleman of large fortune, who made an attempt some years ago to found an establishment called the Atheiusum, in Regent-street, for the purpose of pro moting the Belle Lettres and Fine Arts in different branches. The Institution was to be established by shares, and supported by public subscription. M r . J o dd re l devoted his constant attention to the founda tion of the Institution. He received his visitors there directed his letters from it, and engaged different per sons to attend different branches of the institution. Amongst other persons he engaged the plaintiff, who had lived as governess in the family of a most re spectable gentlemen, in the situation of housekeeper to the Athenreum. That situation she filled for se veral months, until at length the public subscriptions not coming as quickly as expected, and the specu lation failing, the. establishment was broken Subsequently Mr. Joddrel, the defendant became extremely weak intellects, and his friends thought ehaovughte management t h it necessary he should no lorer h was a very large one hj a :'l°°:dteurne'lvalvi! `" chi ' l property was given to some of the ma nagement fronoyhhiesLord:Chancellor, by which the oenthers of his family, one of whom was the real defendant in this cause. It could be proved, however, that at the period when the plaintiff was engaged as housekeeper, the defendant managed his own affairs, kept his banker's accounts with great regularity,and in every other respect conducted himself as a person competent to the management of his own business. It was suggested that the defence which was intended to be set up, was that the plaintiff had conspired with a person named Duane to impose on Mr. Joddrel, who was a man of weak understanding.. The plaintiff certainly knew Mr. Dunne, who was connected with the Institution; but she was a woman of most re spectable character, and defied the defendant to offer any evidence that she had taken any advantage of Mr. Joddrel. As to the amount of the plaintiff's demand, there was no written agreement between her and the defendant; but she stated that Mr. Joddrel, when engaging her, had agreed to give her a salary of 601. a-year, which was not larger than the salary usually given to housekeepers in respect able families. Wm. Young stated, that he was a messenger at the Athenaeum, and that Mr. Paul Richard Joddrel. was constantly at the InStitution .and in the habit of eating and drinking there. ' The witness pro duced a book, in which there was an entry of a reso lution of the Committee of the Institution, appoint ing Miss Fencher as housekeeper, and the name of the defendant was signed by himself as. President. On his cross-examination, the witness stated that he received the books of the Institution from Mr. Dunne, who is a surgeon, and filled the office of managing superintendent of the Institution. The house occupied. by the Institution was 164, Regent-street, and the establishment consisted of Mr. Dunne, Miss Fencher, the witness, and two female servants. Mr. Donna and Miss Fencher afterwards lived to gether in the same house, in Manchester -buildings, but the witness (lid not know and never beard that they occupied the same bed. Miss Fencher got her bread by painting and teaching foreign languages. Mr. RICHARDSON stated, that he was a lecturer. He had given the opening lecture of the Institution, and from that period until the year 1824, bad fre quent communications with Mr. Joddrel on the sub ject of the Institution. Mr. Joddrel took ar active part in the • formation of the Institution, of which he was President. Mr. Joddrel did not appear to witness to be a man of unsound under standing. John Anderson was called to prove that he asked Mr. Joddrel who was to pay for some smith's work done at the Athenaeum, and Mr. Joddrel replied, that he was the President, and would pay. The witness stated that he had seen the plaintiff acting as house keeper at the Institution, and that he considered 601. per annum as a moderate remuneration for a house keeper, who provided her own food. Two other witnesses were produced to prove that Miss Fencher lived in the family of Mr.'Bouverie, a gentleman of fortune in Northamptonshire, in the character of a governess, and companion to the young ladies of the family. Mr. GURNIX remarked that Mr. Dunne was the witness who had been discharged out of *custody by 'his Lordship yesterday. Lord TENTERDEN—Yes, and he then swore that he came here on a subpoena daces tuum. The plaintiff's attorney stated, that Mr. Joddrel called on him to settle the transaction, which was the subject of the present action. He desired that an account of the debt and costs should be ,sent to his • house at- Portland-place. The witness stated `that he had two other actions against the defendant, itlne of which was on behalf of Yoeng,,the first 'witness. Different tradesmen who had done business at the 'Athenaeum deposed to having received orders from the defendant. It appeared that there Was an institution called Joddrel became connected with the institution changed the name from the. French to the POP, Athenee Royal'-' existing, -, but th at vibe° All the witnesses agreed that Mr. Joddicll 10%3 man of very advanced age; bid that 'he ePre f° 6 . possessed of good sense, though a remarkabl).., centric 'character. It was also stated that Mr. J,°:',l drel was a Vestryman of Marylebone , • and' a tte f e; to his duties as such up to the commenceMent o present year. During the Years 1824 and 182 -bp' sometimes filled the Chair at the Vestry 'heel and though his intellects were impaired frot, O l age, he conducted himself with propriety and Ve sense. After the year 1825, M. Joddrel bars childish and incapable of attending to business. t The Rev. Dr. Cooper stated that he was"ttith e the late Princess Charlotte, and that he knew`d, 'plaintiff, who was a native of German Switzerlel'o and was in his opinion, a respectable and sr° plished woman. , tl The case for the plaintiff - having GURNEY was proceeding to address the Jury fo r defendant, when helves interrupted by kj 1„0 * ll Lord TENTERDEN, who observed that oil e arl the book which was produced, containing w e " t hs; of the engagement of the plaintiff, and Cottpllng circumstance with the fact of Mr. Dunne, 3° 'LA possession the book was, not having been Pr o a ria''' he had no doubt that the entry was an inter.l3°`-or and if the Jury believed so the plaintiff must boo, suited, for there was no proof that Miss Fencher hired with the knowledge of the defendant. i.or e The Foreman said, the Jury agreed with his ship, that the entry was an interpolation. The plaintiff was therefore nonsuited. COURT 'OF COMMON PLEAS.. F i ne,t i ß e r a o r y t ti ., n aga G i n r s a t h t a h m e , .I*.ilLE, BALT. V.
