THE S• EN OLE3J QUI., DIOERE FALSUM AliDli.4T LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, FEB. 8, 1825. Paris Papers from Tuesday to Saturday in clusive arrived last night. They are full of com ments on the late change of Ministry in Portu gal, which is considered by the French Journalists As a complete triumph of the British Cabinet. The nomination of SenhOr SILYESTRE PINHIEIRO PERILITIRA, to be Minister of • Foreign Affairs, may indeed be justly regarded as a striking Proof of the triumph of British influence; for th's Slaternan has always been a zealous advocate of a limited monarchy and a representative government, a nd during the whole period that he formerly he ld his present office, he evinced on every occa -4% an earnest desire to cultivate and cement t he ancient relations of friendship which had subsisted for such a length of time between Eng land and Portugal. Prom the nature of the debates that have taken Place in the Chambers, there is no opportunity of for ming a judgment what will be the result of th e questions for indemnifying the emigrants and t he conversion of the Rentos. It would seem that Prince METTEKNICM is expected shortly ht parts, Various reasons for his journey aro as signed by the French politicians ; but they all tes t upon vague conjecture. It is, however, very probable that this Statesman's visit to the Yrettch capital is occasioned by political motives. The following are extracts : ( From the Journal des Debuts.) Pains, FEL 4. In one o f the Ministerial Evening Journals th e following is to be found ; t ::_Several reports have been in circulation this evening at ~I° A L'ars Exchange. Among others it is pretended that the ifi l e l- (eY-bf M. Aletternich to Paris caused supposition of : h an tx_istenc e of some great financial treaty with a celebrated Ab e "r of that capital. It is added, that the departure of for the c! Ambassador from England, has been the signal e cliang e in the English policy with regard to South A Me -1 sod :Greece • and lastly, as the house of Rothschild, of c ` 4l l ,4 l °N have taken thean of Brazil, that all these 0,, Ra nce*. might indic tealat the Court of Austria was not t'llosed to the acknowledgment proclaimed by England." I.E rem the Courier Francais.] The PARIS, FEu. 4. The aetriLv.al. at Paris of Prince Metternich is announced.— poject of his journey is not yet known, but the osten sible rnotiv e is the bad state of his wife's health, who is at pre sent in Prance.

A ccording to the latest intelligence from Greece, it appears that the dissentious among the Greeks are suppressed. We regret to observe, however, by accounts from Vienna and Odessa, that neither the Austrian nor the Russian Cabinet will listen to any proposition fur sanctioning tl e independence of Greece ; and that, with respect to that interesting country, those two Cabinets are resolved to adhere to the principles of the Holy Alliance against all changes in existing institutions. The Greeks are aware of the hostility of these two Powers, and know that on their own valour and fortitude depends the establishment of their independence. Let them persevere in their noble course, and they will effect their object in spite of open arid se cret enemies. We extract from the Brussels Oracle, receive( this morning, the following article of politica intelligence : BRUSSELS, JAW. 31. We hear from the frontiers of France, that a Commission, consisting of superior officers of Artillery and Engineers, will inspect, in the course of next month, all the fortresses on the northern frontier, from Strasburg and Dunkirk. This Com mission will have to examine the state of the fortifications of all the fortresses, the establishment of the artillery, the senals, the magazines, and stores, and to give a circumstantial report to the ,M inister of War. TREATY between SARDINIA and the OTTOMAN PORTE. The Gazetta Piemontese of the 25th January, contains at great length the official Documents relative to the Treaty con cluded by the King of Sardinia with the Sublime Porte, which was negociated by Lord Strangford. The Treaty is in fifteen Articles ; and the Preamble states, that his Majesty, Charles Felix, King of Sardinia, &c. &c. and his Imperial Majesty, Sultan Malunud Han 11., the greatest of Sultans, most illus trious of the Ottomans, &c. &c., equally desirous of establishing durable friendship and peace between their respective States, have resolved to conclude a Commercial Treaty on the model of those already existing with other Powers, have appointed, th e King of Sardinia, Lord Strangford, and the Sultan,3 Plenipotentiaries to negociate the same. By this treaty ships bearing the Sardinian flag are admitted to the navigation of the Black sea. The Sar dinian Councils are to enjoy the same privileges and exemptions front various duties, as the Consuls of the European Powers, and the most perfect security is promised to the merchants and subjects of the two Powers reciprocally, - in each other's domi nions. Two Notes from Lord Strangford to the Sardinian Ministry announce, one the conclusion of the treaty, and the other that of a specific arrangement, by which the Turkish Go vernment agrees that all articles of Turkish produce andmanu facture imported into the Sardinian dominions shall pay the same duties as similar articles from other countries. No topic of national interest is more important than the State of Ireland, and therefore it must be highly gratifying to the real friends of that country to learn that the Earl of LIVERPOOL, in answer to a question of the Marquis of LANs- DowN, last night, in the House of Lords, di.- clared, that in the motion which he intended to bring forward on Thursday, he should propose to open the inquiry as to every part of Ireland, and that no portion of that country should be excluded from it. This comprehensive and mi nute examination into the state of such an essential branch of the Empire as the Sister Island promises the most satisfactory result, and is more likely to rerrmve all real grievances that may oppress that country than any Association which the Catholics may devise for their own peculiar relief. Such a legislative investigation must necessarily lead to a thorough knowledge of what may be most necessary to promote the happiness of all ranks of the Irish people, as it will doubtless be fol lowed by every measure that can tend to the improvement of the country, consistent with pre servation of the British Constitution in its full purity and vigour. A Gentleman, charged with a special Mission from the King of FRANCE, transacted business with Mr. Secretary CANNING, on Friday. New Brunswick Papers were received yester day, to the '2d ult., by which we learn that, on the 13th of the preceding month, a slight shock of an earthquake, which lasted about 10 seconds, was experienced at St. Andrew's. It excited considerable alarm, but no damage was sustained. The Lords who have taken the oaths and their seats this Session are Lord NAPIER, as a Peer of Scotland, in the room of the late Marquis of Lonit.tx ; the Bishops of DOWN and CONNOR, and CffEsTak ; Viscount STitANGFORD on hving created Baron Penhurst, and Lord DA LnousiE. Notwithstanding the recent division of the Court of King's Bench, and the declaration of the Loan CHANCELLOR respecting Joint Stock Companies, several others are in embryo, and will shortly be announced to the Public. Among them there is to be a Company of " Shipbuilders and Shipwrights." COAST DUTIES ON COALS.—Petitions are pre paring throughout the Maritime Counties for a repeal of this partial and injurious Tax ; indeed, if the OVER-SEA Duty on Coals was likewise re pealed, it would prove most advantageous to British Navigation, and check the further ex tension of the Coal Mines which have been estab lished at Liege, Amiens, and other parts of the Continent.—(Country Paper.) SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOW LEDOE.—At the annual meeting of the District Committee for the Deanries of Alnwick and Bambro', in aid of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, on the 4th ult. it appeared from the report of the Secretary, that 173 Bibles, 156 'l.'esta ments, 574 Prayer Books, 72 Psalters, 2/37 other bound bioks, 1,796 half-bound and Tracts, had been distributed in the last year ; and that five new subscribers had been added to the Dis trict Committee. DREADFUL CIRCUMSTANCE.—The attention of a crowd of persons was attracted this morning at the appearance of a young man walking back wards and forwards on the parapet of the house No. 2'2, Duke-street, St. G iles's, and the utmost alarm was excited by his dangerous si uation.— Several persons begged of him for God's sake to go in, but he seemed to pay a deaf ear to their intreaties, and in a short time, whether by acci dent or intention it is impossible to say, he fell head foremost into the street, and was literally dashed to pieces. Ile was carried to the Mid dlesex Hospital instantly, but was quite dead. On inquiry we ascertained that his name was Rhodes ; he had been light-headed for the last week or fortnight, and during the temporary ab sence of his wife from the bed room, on the third floor, he got out of the window, when the unfor tunate catastrophe took place. The body now lies for a Coroner's Inquest, THE THEATRE. DRURY-LANE.----Mr KEAN again made his ap pearance last night in Macbeth. The Theatre was not very well attended, except in the pit and gal leries. His performance was so actively supported by his friends that it proceeded without interrup tion. The fact is, that his party are so strong and ' so violent, that they who are of a different opinion dare not express their sentiments. The real opinion of the Public was expressed on the first two nights of his return to this Theatre, but even if there were no danger in opposing him, after such emphatic proofs of general disapprobation of his private conduct, as to circumstances %%filch brought that conduct into legal notice and inflic tion, the Actor may now be suffered to resume his calling. If it be true that the Public have no right to interfere in matters not relating to au Actor's profession, a question that may well be disputed, if conduct of gross enormity has been generally known, yet in the present case the Public and the Public Press have done them selves honour by supporting the interests of vir tue and decency. Farther opposition might look like a persecution unsuitable to the British cha racter. Mr. KEAN then should now be permitted to fulfil his engagement, and those whose taste leads them to admire his acting. should he al lowed to hear him without disturbance. When the Tragedy concluded -last night there was a loud call for Mr. KEAN, probal4 for tke pur pose of hearing him announce Isis future per formance. This turbulent requisition lasted some time, and at length brought Mr. ELLIbTON for ward, who, when silence prevailed, expressed himself to the following effect : " Ladies and Gentlemen—lt is almost impossible for any man to have felt more deeply interested than Air. Kean has done in the subjects that have lately occupied public discus sion. —(Hear, hear ! silence, silence !)—Had he only the ordi nary feelings of humanity, he could not but be sensible of how much his friends have done for him. He has appeared twice before you to express his sentiments, and those sentiments have been adjudged—l think I may say, approved—by the public— (Applause and uproar.)-11.1r. Kean nut wishing to obtrude himself on the public, with all his anxieties on his he a d, r e ti res from the Th eatre and proceeds to his home immediately on the conclusion of his part—(Some murmurs, with cries of Kean,' and go on.')—lle feels assured of your generous protection, and I felt that the public would carry him victorious through.— (Applause, some uproar, and cries of that's enough !')—ln this description of his feelings I beg not to mix my own feel ings. - I asserted in th e fi rst instance, as I did in the second instnce, that I considered myself to be the servant of the pub lic. Ido so consider myself; and while I think the public 'to be in favour of Mr. Kean, I never will desert him."— ( uproarious applause.) It is natural and excusable in Mr. ELLIsToN, whose interests are so much at stake, to persuade himself that Mr. KEAN has triumphed over a hostile Party by the support of the Public, but it must be evident to all impartial observers that Mr. K EAN is really indebttd to his own party for his triumph iloyAr,, NEwciSTLE-UPON-TyNE.— T.ie first campaign of the new Manager (Mr. Niettot.soN) progresses most favourably. On Friday evening last the house w.ts another full flowing bumper, it being under the immediate p aronage of the Sherifi'of Newcastle (GEOnCF. SIIADFORTII, Eq.) and his Lady. The performances were Shakspeare's in teresting play of The Merchant of Venice, and the laughable musical farce of The Bec Hire. The whole of the performers did their utmost to give satisfaction, and they were not unstic cess:lll. Mrs. (in tt Ric r was never more happy than in Jessica, and she warbled " Sweet Home" and another air with an ex pression and sweetness that justly entitled her to the rapturous applause with which she was honoured.

BRIGHTON HARRIERS. BRIGHTON, FEB. s.—The Subscription Pack of Harriers have for years past been found beneficial to the interests of this place, inasmuch as they have been the means of keeping many sportsmen of fashionable celebrity with us, and their families, to a much later period, than any other attractions could have caused. The King, in consequence, whose patronage was never withheld, where it could juoduce decided advantage to the town, became a subscriber to this Hunt, and his Majesty's annual contribution of fifty pounds, in support of it, was re mitt:d to this place a few days ago. On Saturday se'nnight the Northumberland fox-hounds had one of the most brilliant rails ever remembered in that country They found at flare Dean immediately on throwing into cover. A most gallant fox broke away to the south, up the hill towards Stanton, past the Lime-kilns to Ashfield's Wood ; from thence he turned northwards over Longhorsley Moor, leaving Rufflaw Plantations to the left. He kept that line pointing towards Garret Lee Wood and Todburn, till he reached Southerd Edge. Here he turned westward over the Reoburn Moor and Dudner's Know, and skirting the New Park Wood at Nether witton, ran through Park Wal Whin Cover to Dixon's Wood, through which, and Gallowshaw Wood, he passed to the south across the Pont, thence leaving Longshaws Mill to the left, he ran thr nigh Longshaws Wood, past Buekshaw, and across the top of the Nunburn, where he took a direction to the right, past Needless hall and Temple Thornton, thence through i\leldon Pork and across the Wansheck southwards over Anger ton Pastures, by Howlett Hall, G a ll ow hill, a n d F ootma n Law, through the fir plantation at Belsay Lake to Bitchfield boun. dary. Here he turned to the west, trying to gain the main earths at Belsay Crags, when the hounds ran in to him and killed him in the open field within 100 yards of the cover, after a run of two hours and five minutes. Out of 21 couples of hounds, not one was wanting. SACRA LEG E.-Information was this morning re ceived at the Marylebone Police Office, of the Chapel in Shouldham-street having been last night plundered of every portable article of value, by some persons who contrived to secrete them selves in the Chapel at the close of the preceding evening's service. It appears that after removing every valuable article from the body of the Chapel, they broke into the vestry, aird stole the servico of plate employed in the administra qpauraiLtistey, ando wine, r t ti olf t which t washe sacrament kept far; the ea same of which they drank before quitting the place.— With these, and many other articles of value, they finally made their escape by unscrewing the door fastenings, and thus letting themselves out. Hoßse-STEAr.zsG.—This crime appears to be still on the increase,—information having been this morning received at the above Office of two valuable brood mares having been last night stolen from the stables of Wm.

The kind and indulgent spirit with which you have viewed my feeble and imperfect services amon ,, you, as your Minister, for the last thirteen years, certainly claims my warmest and heartfelt acknowledgment; at the same dine I feel humbled at the remembrance of the many imper fections and deficiencies which have attached themselves to my poor exertions to promote your best interests.

Mit. EDITOR—It would appear as if the con test between the Publi c and the Manager of Drury-Lane and KEAN is now drawing to a close, hut appearances are not unfrequently deceitful. Mr. Kean has, indeed, succeeded in making him self heard while performing his part ; and his friends do not hesitate to consider this as a vic tory, and as decisive of the contest. In this I believe them to be mistaken. True it is, th a t they have obtained the sunshine of a victory ; but it is one precisely similar in its nature to those gained over the Romans by Pyrrhus : many such would prove fatal t o the victors. If no sentiment hostile to M r . K ean b e man if este d b y t h e au diences before which he now performs, it is be cause they are the audiences of the Manager, and no more represent the public of this metropolis than the Demagogues who sometimes assemble in Palace Yard to advocate the cause of reform. The unjustifiable and violent means that were adopted by the Manager to support the insult he did not blush offering to decency, have indeed banished from his house all who were not dis posed to expose themselves to the brutal insults of ruffians, enlisted to support a cause worthy of such defenders. But do these men, or the unfor tunate females that frequent the theatre on the nights of Kean's performance, contribute much towards defraying the expellees of the house ? I doubt it. This may go on for a while ; but when it ceases—whenever that free and honour able portion of the public, which has stood forth so laudably as the advocate of decency and mo rality—can once more express its sentiments with out the dread of bullies, then will it be proved that it is the cause of Virtue, and not that of Vice, which is triumphant. MERCANTILE SHIPPING. DEAL, FEB. 7.—Wind W.S.W., fresh breezes.—The wind shifted to the S.W. in the course of last night, and it is not expected the outward-bound that sailed yesterday are further estward than Beachy Head. The homeward-bound sailed for the River this morning.

Thames (scarcely ever known to be equalled) has led many to suppose, that some alteration has taken place in their course, and has, for some time past, kept the owners and occupiers.of land adjoining in a constant state of watchfulness and alarm. About the time of the last full moon, and on last Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, the Thames Wall, in the levels of Dart ford, Stone, Crayford, and Erith, on the Kentish side, was breached in many places, and overflown for several miles, whereby some thousands of acres of valuable land were and continue to be completely inundated. Fortunately f rom t h e alacrity of the occupiers, little stock has been lost, but the in. jury to the land and damage to the walls is calculated to be very great, the latter it is considered must be much heightcnel and strengthened, to guard against similar occurrences.
