MISS AUSTEN'S NOVELS.--SENSE AND SENSIBILITY —" We do not know a more agreeable writer than Miss AUSTEN. To this day we find out likenesses to half our acquaintances in in her dratnrztis personce, and are only swirl ised that they are not so enter'aining as their prototypes. The great charm of Ler characters is their reality. In the volume before us, what can be more actual than the joyous vulgarity of Mrs. Jennings, who, when a young friend is in the first despair of ill requited affection, rect Ilects that her former husbind never found any thing do him half the good when he had an attack of gout as a glass of her old Constantia, which she takes for granted would be equally efficacious in the young lady's cage, and only becomes aware of the extent of her distress when she sees that she • has left her dried cherries on her plate ? Again, how exquisitely true is the innate selsbness of Mrs. John Dashwood ! The conversation between her and her husband, where she convinces him that his father's dying recommendation of his wife and daughters to the care of his son, will be fulfilled to the letter by pre sents of game and fish, is the perfection of a domestic (lie- I ogue."....Xiterary Gazette, The new year was ushered in with an event which will, I trust, prove of great consequence to the cause of Donna Maria—l mean the ar rival of General Solignac, who landed on the Ist at the Fox, where he was received by a part of the French and English battalions now on duty there, and the corps of Guides. He dined with Don Pedro, and the next day went round the lines, inspecting the troops in their different quarters. Yesterday he passed over in company with the Emperor and their respective staffs to the Serra, the works and defences of which he minutely inspected, as he also did the batteries in the town along the river. He is a most re spectable-looking old soldier, and the officers on his staff seem intelligent men. One grand ob ject has been attained by his appointment to the command of the army with the rank of Field- Marshal, of course nominally under the imme diate orders of the Emperor. Provided he will be commander-in-chief, and not permit interfe rence, things will, I have no doubt, speedily and most materially change for the better. I say this confidently from the knowledge I have of the troops here and those outside, who will never stand in the open field. Miguel's force is greatly, if' not altogether, demoralized, anti it is no longer possible to prevent them from plunder ing, at least on the left bank of the river, where it is said I)on Miguel continues. I have been this day informed, on what I consider creditable testimony, the greatest rarity in Oporto, that at Villa Nova the soldiers sell brandy at 4 tes toons (about 25.) the almuda, and good wine at 5 or 6 milrees the pipe. Five deserters from the 12th also came in to-day, and the report is now current amongst Miguel's troops that Eng land, France, and Spain are about to ship off their King to Vienna, and to place Donna Maria on the throne. This is a part of a report credited generally here for some days, and which came from Vigo, namely, that both Don Pedro and Don Miguel were to quit Portugal, and that the Princess Isabel Maria was to resume the regency until the young Queen came of age. This would, I believe, be agreeable to very many on both sides, as the nation generally is tired of a war the prolonging of which can only be destructive to all, and the grand desire is peace, even though some prejudices should be sacrificed on all sides. The report of the negotiation on foot was most particular in specifying that Don Miguel was to have the rents of the Infantad, anti that such persons as chose to accompany him were to have their revenues guaranteed, and this, with a general amnesty, was to restore tranquillity in the country. I should also men tion, when speaking of General Solignac's ar rival, that General Frimont has landed, and is expected to be a valuable assistant to him. Pro visions arrive constantly from Vigo, and as the weather has again become fine, everything, ex cept what we are all most anxious for, the mails, can be landed. In order to cover the landing of stores, &c., at the Foz, a redoubt has been con structed at the lighthouse, which is now en closed by a strong embankment, and at this spot, even when the bar is not passable, there is a tolerable landing place, except in stormy weather. The enemy are, it is true, now con structing a battery lower down towards the point, to command this beach without firing over the castle of the Foz, as they are compelled to do at present, with a view to impeding the communication ; but, even in this case, it will only be necessary for Don Pedro to intrench a small hill to the right, which, with the Castello do Queja, will cover this point, and be out of the range of the guns on the southern shore. This will render the Sampaio battery useless, and I believe, in consequence, the progress of the redoubt on the Arabida, intended to over awe it, is in some degree suspended. On Sunday anti Monday, as if it were in tended to leave no excuse for a charge upon the Miguelites for keeping up an useless fire of musketry, some blockhead or other induced whoever then had command of the forces to au thorize the volunteers, not of Oporto or Donna Maria, but the British volunteers, of whom I should have held it almost blasphemy to predi cate such degradation, to fire at every living thing they saw upon the south side of the Douro. This was said to be a compliment to this corps for the precision they displayed on the 17th of last month, and if so it was a bad one. The only effect it could produce was to have all the poor people on this side the river shot, and put a total stop to everything like either com merce or quietness. A representation was made to the Minister of War upon the subject, but not until Monday morning, when Lord George Paulet had three bullets lodged in the Nautilus, and a fourth close over his head as he shoved off in his gig. This produced an instant appli cation to the Government, and orders were said to have been given to cease the fire, but this I can say from having seen it, that, whoever the party consisted of, and I have been assured the English no longer remained, the firing continued until sunset, and I saw poor women and chil dren fired at with a zeal only to be equalled by that of the ragamuffins at the other side. Apropos of this, I have been told that the result of the fire was the shooting of two monks at St. Antonio and an old woman. For th,-; monks, it is only the lex talionis, and I should not re gret to find it true, but the old woman I should be most sincerely sorry for, as there is no class in society so useful, so sensible, and so really good as old women,—l mean those who hare the legitimate right to the peticoat. On the same day (Monday) 180 men from Glasgow, part of a larger body, landed ; the remainder, we hear with regret, and hope still to find it untrue, have perished on the Irish coast. On the Ist, also, the Druid frigate made her appearance in the offing, anti with that contempt for dangers of all kinds natural to British seamen, made a signal for a midshipman to the vessels inside. The bar was impassable. The Raven cutter, from Vigo, also came off, and on the next day the mails were sent off; but whether,, she com municated with the Druid subsequently, we can only guess. One thing we are, however, certain of, that three mails are due, and that if we had not other casual opportunities of sending letters or hearin g from England besides the regular con veyances, for which the public pays so dearly, London and Oporto would know as little of each oth er as Kamsehatka and Penzance. I don't know what you may think of this but, I went to the Foz to-day, hoping to have been in time for the City of Edinburgh steamer, which proceeds to England, after touching at Vigo. I was just half an hour too late, but I could perceive while there, and have had my idea confirmed by those capable of judging, that the enemy's new battery will still in some degree rake the beach down to the Castello do Quejo. There are, however, no guns up yet, and as the manheti - system is generic here, I don't appre hend much danger for a long time to come. General Solignac has, I find, begun well. He ' suffers no interference, and has visited every thing, hospitals included. Before a week goes round I have no doubt a blow will be struck, and I have as little doubt of its success. Ano ther requisition was made to the British ships to move from their present anchorage which I un derstand will not be acceded to, as, from the freshes which may soon be apprehended, it would be dangerous to remove them. More over, the object desired was to leave the Liberal schooner at liberty to batter an old house oppo site, and the Government, I presume, saw that the object was not worthy of the immensity of paper, which, from the forms used here, would be wasted upon it. While upon this point I may observe that the stories in circulation re lative to the conduct of the British squadron on the 17th of last month, slanders which none but persons equally cowardly as cruel could for one moment credit, were all rear being visited upon the head of Lord George Paulet, against whom there were menaces of assassina tion, of which he is still ignorant. The people here took it into their heads that as a Lord he must necessarily be commanding officer, and upon him all their wise vengeance, provided he was caught on shore after dark, was to be visited. An order from Captain Glascock, that no per son connected with the squadron should be on shore after 4 o'clock, has, it is to be hoped, pre served his Lordship to be still an ornament to the navy. At Miguel's side their policy is bet ter ; for they made the simple affair of allowing the English sailors to buy and pay for fresh pro visions quite an international business, Santa Martha giving out orders that in consequence of the intimate and friendly relations between the Rey Absoluto and the British nation every faci lity was to be given to those engaged in supply ing their well beloved allies. This, at the same time, shows the miserable shifts to which they are driven to keep up anything like a spirit in their army. As to facts, I have very few to give. It will be no novelty to inform you that last night from ten till half-past 12 o'clock, shells were thrown very fast both into the town and the Serra, and some mischief was done. The church of the Clerigos in particular suf fered severely, and the magazines of saints and angels stored up there have, I am sorry to say, been mutilated abominably by those defenders of the altar and the throne at the other side of the river. The beautiful steeple has, however, escaped, and this very considerably diminishes my regret for St. Antonio, who can easily supply himself with another head, and the rest of the army of martyrs will find limbs of all sorts, sizes, and materials to suit them from the ex-votos hung around in their . honour. I think it is likely the fire last night was produced by the demonstration made of preparing a pontoon bridge from the Seminario across to Que brantoes, where the troops passed over on the 14th of November, and unless the fire has injured it, which I shall ascertain to morrow, this bridge is now quite effective for the transport of all arms. The Emperor seems at last roused to make all the idlers take up arms, and a proclamation has been issued, that if all those obliged to serve under the conscription law do not come in within three days they will be forced. This is a wise proceeding, and ought to have been strictly put in practice before, as evasions have been numerous, and, in consequence, the number of men actually under arms, much less than the population would fairly afford. I think it right to mention this, because I have seen in the papers most ridiculous exaggerations of the force here, and some of therri divided into heads with all the appearance of critical exactness, and professing to come from actual examination on the spot, while I know that every single item of the account has been overstated. Before I reached the Foz to-day the City of Edinburgh had sailed, with near 2no men of Colonel Wil liamson's marines, for the squadron of Admiral Sartorius, in which, I understand, the desertion amounted to 250. Some soldiers had broken open t%,vuats istu two ams oandej do houses u last fronredt,h t a ) i i ss g h ti t, and iere a morning did t Co no ot ut try raimnt them ; t gn i al s t the whole of the present population of the Foz, naval, civil, and military, happen to be a copy of the New Testament on which to swear the witnesses. Some ships have been sent by the Government here to Fayal for wine for the army. The enemy at Villa Nova would give it to them cheaper. SATURDAY, JAN. 5. One or two occurrences have taken place to day, and of a painful nature. I mentioned yes terday my idea that the bombardment of Thurs day night had been caused by the appearance of the bridg e near the Serra. The enemy, at all events, were on the alert, but prevented, in a great degree, from fulfilling their object—its destruction—by orders given last night to have the bridg e moored in its old position under the convent. They, however, succeeded this morn ing in sinking the little schooner Coquette, and 2 gun-bo a t s , w hi c h were m oor e d ne ar th e cross ing poi nt , and covered the chain across the river, which has been fixed and defended for mouths by one of the bravest and most single hearted men in existence, Captain Hill. Field pieces were brought to bear where the guns from this side could not reach them, and destroyed this little flotilla in a very short time. I regret this much, but I must say most particularly from the annoyance it will cause to the gallant commander, who was met on going up the ves sel's side by the leg and thigh of one of his crew being blown into his face. The poor man who was shot is, I fear, since dead. The river is at this point very narrow, and having been there about two o'clock, the abuse of the parties at each side would have been amusing, but for the recollection of the loss suffered so re cently. I am, however, glad to say, that, with the exception of the one man, no life has been injured. The second event, if it can be so called, was the stoppage of a vessel under Brazilian colours, with a number of Englishmen and foreigners, on board., all in valided, or from other causes, to go to England. Many of them had been on board for a conside rable time, and their red uniform coats, the only ones the poor fellows had, caused the vessel to be marked. She was fired at from the Sampaio battery, and having been struck, she brought up in the middle of the river. It having been reported to Captain Glascock that there were killed and wounded on board, Captain Belcher, „ , of th e Etna, went to the battery to ask permis sion, on the ground of humanity, that medical assistance should be rendered to the sufferers. The assistant-surgeons of the Orestes and Etna, with Captain Belcher, then went on board, and it was found that four men had been killed, and three badly wounded. On the return of the gig of the Orestes, which had conveyed the surgeon ou board, nine shots were fired at her from Miguel's pickets—•a proceeding quite in cha racter, but which fortunately did no mischief, and I am glad to say that Captain 13elcher escaped at a later period from his humane expe dition without receiving any injury. From what I have lately written, you cannot be surprised at any act of the brutes on the south side, and I I therefore only hope that the reports we hear of an immediate cessation of this unnatural war may be correct. The most current report of the day has been, that Don Miguel has promised to pay his troops in this town to-morrow. I only fear he will not try it ; if he should, he will have his list of claimants very much diminished. Throughout the day shot and shells have been exchanged very liberally ; but the Serra seems to have been the object, and if there is an attack at all, pro bably that will be the point, although troops have certainly crossed from the south to this bank of the river. This, I have no doubt, un less attack be intended, has proceeded from the dread of a movement under General Solignac, whom I saw to-day, and from whom 1 have rea son to expect that I shall have speedily good news to communicate. I say this because he is determined to have his own way, and is thoroughly aware of the cunctatious propensi ties of the Portuguese authorities. I am anxious doubly for some termination of this contest, as the country around here is literally becoming a desert. The woods have all disappeared, and even the trees in the gardens are hourly coming under the axe. The havoc and devastation, ne cessary perhaps, but miserable to witness, that have taken place since this siege commenced, no one that had not known Oporto previously can form an idea of. Property may be reim bursed, but it will take half a century at least to restore the beauty and comfort hitherto enjoyed. At the same time necessity overpowers all sense of scenery, and the want of shade in summer, without which this place must be intolerable. Now fire-wood is wanted, and to be had but in quantities too small, although the winter is the mildest known for years. The days are like those of England in the middle of May, and not a streak of snow is visible on any of the moun tains within sight, a circumstance not within many years' recollection of any inhabitant at this period. SUNDAY, JAN. 6. I find, with anything but pleasure, that I underrated the mischievous energies of the Mi guelites. They yesterday opened their battery on the point over Cabodella, with three guns, but were unable to prevent the landing of stores, although they occasioned some annoyance. This morning, also, another battery has been un masked a little back from St. Antonio, and their embrasures are now visible, opening to the Torre de Marca, but as yet there has been no firing. They had casks and an embankment lower down a few days since, to attract attention in that direction ; the object is now perceptible. A letter reached the British commander in the middle of the night, stating that one man, re ported to be badly wounded, had been taken on shore at the south side, and his arm am• putated, and that if any other were in a si milar condition, they would be taken to Don Miguel's hospital and treated with atten tion equal to that bestowed upon their own people. In order to avoid doubts, the boats of the Orestes and Etna went down this morning to offer the aid of the medical gentle men to the wounded on board the unfortu nate Brazilian vessel, but on their arrival, it was found that they were about to be taken on shore and removed to Don Miguel's military hospital. The wounds being from cann'n-shot are bad, and amputation of the arm from the socket is necessary in one case. What the ship is to do now remains a puzzle ; if she attempts the north bank, she will be sunk by the Sam paio, and at that side they have no means of taking possession and securing her. There are 92 English and 26 French and others aboard, and how the question will be decided is more than I can prognosticate. It is more than probable she might have been allowed to pro ceed but for the paltry ruse of a miserable schooner, which on Friday passed under Bra zilian colours, but on clearing the bar, to show her bravery, hoisted the blue and white flag of Donna Maria. Tne officers of the British squadron have waited upon General Solignac, and been received with kindness and cordiality. I omitted to observe that some discontent has arisen amongst the merchants and consignees of English property here, in consequence of the Government having refused to allow them to re move the goods in the Custom-house to moi e secure warehouses, under bond. The object of the Government is to have the duties paid at once ; this, in the present state of affairs, with out opportunity of sale, may be difficult, and the proceeding looks harsh after the destruction that occurred this night week. You will say this is a rambling letter, but the lucidus ordo is not to be looked for from one who is obliged to write " 4. Dan Miguel had rettirned to Braga, after reviewing his troops, during which nothing particular occurred." The judicious correspondent from whom we have received this news, also announces the ar rival of General Solignac at Oporto, with the reinforcement which accompanied him. He de scribes to us the good spirit and the undimi nished valour of the troops of the liberating army. Indeed it had been found necessary for the Emperor to issue some orders to repress the excessive ardour of his soldiers in the fight, from which our correspondent infers the evident im possibility of the Miguelites to expel, as they had vainly boasted, the liberating army from the loyal city of Oporto, either by attack (which, it appears, they had not for a long time ventured to repeat), or by means of blockade, which va lour, industry, and perseverance, had rendered ineffectual ; or even by their barbarous bombard ments, by which only the innocent inhabitants of Oporto suffered, but which served to irritate the minds of every one against the ravagers of their ow❑ country. ROLLS COURT, JAN. 14. THE EARL OF WINCHILSF.A V. GARETTY. Mr. PE3IBERTON, Mr. HOPE, and Mr. STEWART, appeared for the plaintiffs in this case, which came before the Court on petition from the Earl of Win chilsea and Sir R. Vaughan, who, in their charac ters of executors and trustees to the estate; of the I tte ladies Essex Kerr and Maly Kerr, sisters of the late Duke of Roxburgh, prayed that they might be authorized to institute a suit for the impeach meat of the validity of a bond for 12,0001., given by those ladies to a Mr. Nichols, formerly a book seller in Pall-mall. The petitioners also prayed that a sum of money set apart from the estates of these ladies to meet this bond might be held over to abide the result of the suit which they hoped to prosecute. The original case, which brought the subject matter of this application to light, had arise►► out of the administration of the estates of the ladies Kerr, amongst other claims against which was this bond of Mr. Nichols, and which had been sent for in quiry before the Master. The LEARNED COUNSEL for the petition atter stating the case fully, contended that the question of validity was left completely untouched, inasinuei s the Master's report had only been confirmed, without the legal point respecting the bond having been disposed of. Mr. TINNEY and Mr. WIGRAM opposed the petition. The MASTER of the Rotas considered this a case of considerable importance, not F 0 much on ac count of the sum depending on it as in regard to its reference to the principle of that Court. HIS HONOUR reserved his judgment, requesting he parties to furnish him with all the papers. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JAN. 14. SPIERS V. WALLACE. In this case, which is a writ of right, appointed specially to be tried at Bar to-day, the names of the four Knights and the Recognitors were called over; but only three of the former and eleven of the latter attended. Sir John Poland, Sir Jas. South, and Sir- -, were the Knights present; Sir Geoffrey Wyattville, the fourth, did not at tend; and Mr. Justice PARK directed that he should be tined 301. The non-attending Recognitors, amongst whom were Mr. Barclay and Mr. Drummond, were fined in he sum of 201. each. Mr. Justice PAKK, however, ordered that a mes senger should be despatched for Sir Geoffrey and Mr. Drummond. After the lapse of nearly an hour the former made his appearance in Court, and was immediately addressed by Mr. Justlce PARK, who observed that he had very mproperly and inconveniently kept the Court wait flgfor a considerable time. — Sir Geoffrey Wyattville, bursting into tears, ex plained that his son was then dying. The Learned JUDGE immediately begged that he would say no more. He exceedingly regretted the cause, and ordered the fine not to be imposed. Sr Geoffrey, much affected, was perfectly willing, notwithstanding, to take his seat, and begged that the trial might proceed. He had, however, made a mistake as to the day the trial was fixed for, as he certainly believed it to be to-morrow. Sir James South, on behalf of himself and bro ther Jurymen, begged that, in consequnnee of what Sir Geoffrey \Vyattville had stated, the trial might be postponed. Mr. Justice PARK intimated that the Court were about to do so; but as the Jury had had a great deal of trouble, he was anxious that they should'fix a day which was most convenient to themselves. Finally, Monday, the 2.2 d of April, was appointed. The Jury were then dismissed. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, JAN. 14. MARSHALL, ASSIGNEE, V. 'WEBB. This was an action of trover, to recover certain bills of exchange, to the amount of 4201., under the following circumstances :—On the 16th of May, 1831, the bankrupt gave to a Mr. Wilkins, his clerk, the bills in question, at his manufactory, in Celbridge, in Ireland, directing him to take them to the defendants in London. On the 18th Wilkins delivered the bills. On the 17th the bankrupt went to Liverpool, and gave the defendant a pro. inissory note for 3,9991., and on the following day executed an assignment of all his estates and effects for the use of his creditors. Shortly afterwards he went to America, from whence he has never re turned. At the trial before Baron Vaughan, it was urged on behalf of the plaintiff that the de livery of the bills to Wilkins was a fraudulent pre ference ; the transaction being voluntary on the part of the bankrupt. The Jury, however, found that there was not a fraudulent preference, arid gave a verdict for the defendant. Mr. PoLLocii obtained a rule in the List term, to set the verdict aside. Mr. Sergeant GOULBURN and Mr. Fish showed cause.—Rule made absolute on payment of costs. - A private of the Royal Marines died of cholera on Sunday last, after a short illness.
