Time when the Act is to come into operation spe c:fied. TO JOSEPH . HUME, ESQ., M P. Sir,—Your exertions to reduce the naval sinecures de serve, and do receive, the approbation of every good man ; but unfortunately you have no one sufficiently acquainted with the subject, not even the great Reformer, Colonel Torrenc (himself a real bona fide marine officer) to assist you, to show that those seven appointments are, in every sense of the word, the most perfect sinecures that can exist. Why should those naval sinecurists (who are all Admirals and Captains in the navy) be styled Genera►s and Colonels of Marines, and put (on the first day of their appointment) over the heads of the officers of the corps, of upwards of 50 years actual and bona fide service, in every quarter of the globe? Such is an act of great injustice, and is most galling to the Marine corps. VERITAS. " Fiat Justitia ruat cailum." The pay of the General is 51. per day, the Lieutenant- General 41. per day, the Major• General Si. per day, and who at present is Admiral and Commander-in Chief in the West Indies ; the four Captains of the Navy receive ray, as Colonels, 800/. a•year each—making a good round sum of 7,000 a-year, and no earthly duty required of them !" MR. O'CONNELL. " 14, Albeinarle.gtreot, Feb 14. " Dear am decidedly of opinion that we ought not to meet on Saturday—l mean ' The. National Union of the Working Classes.' The Ministry are beginning to conciliate, and may continue in that tone, consequently a meeting for Irish grievances is quite unnecessary for the present. If we shall be disappointed, and that Lord Grey on Friday announces harsh and unconstitutional measures, why then we can meet the ensuing Saturday, when the violent feelings of recent resentment shall be gone by, and that we can all substitute manly determination for passion. " My friend Dr. Wade concurs with me on this sub ject. The Reformed Parliament may yet compel Ministers to give us ' the bread in•te.ad of the serpent.'• If they do so, then we shall cordially support every ame ioration, English, Scotch, and lri'h. But if thq substitute the serpent* fur the bread,' then we will be only the more resolute to insist on those popular benefits and advantages without which the Reform Bill would be a mere mockery. All we want is good and cheap government, protection for the poor, encouragement to industry, and impartiality between all classes. "I remain, (fear Sir, very faithfully, your obedient set vant, " Mr. John Cleave. " DANIEL O'CONNELL. " P. S.—lf the meeting be postponed to Saturday, the 23d, I pledge myself to attend the adjourned meeting, and to explain my views, according to the then existing eir cutnstances,—concilialoiy, if conciliation be held out, — firm and determined, if I:ely)t6m he threatened." • Query—" Stone." REAL PROPERTY 'AND INCOME TAX TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sic.,—As Ministers vein generally called upon to abo ii•h those taxes which bear most heavily on the middle classes, I should feel great pleasure in finding some mode of taxation proposed which would relieve the pressure from the industry of the country. I beg leave to hand you a scale of a graduated tax upon incomes derived from real property, and al.o alesser one upon incomes derived from trades, professioni, &c., which, I conceive, would not be objected to by persons in that cla.s ; but I do not fl Better myself that the possessors of the thousands and lens of thousands will so readily agree to my proposal, as follows : INCOMES DERIVED FROM REAL PROPERTY OF Per ann. Per cent. 601. per ann. topay 12s. 601. to MO/. at 11. Os. 100/. ditto 1/. Above 100/. to 2001. at 1/. 10s. 2001. ditto 3/. 200/. to 3001. at 21. 10s. 300/. ditto 71. 10s. 3 01. to 5001. at Al.

I cannot conceive why any gentleman, with an income of 2,000/. per annum, would object to paying 1201. annually, if a tradesman has to pay fir the same amount produced by his industry and close attention to business, the sum of 901., being 25 per cent. l e ss than the tax charged upon the person whose income is derived from real property. I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, B. T. P.S. If a person receives 1,0001. per annum from bis rent., and has to pay out a certain sum (say 2001.) to his mortgagee, he would have a charge upon his net income, say 5 per cent., on 8001. Among the speakers who distinguished them selves, we are again Called upon to mention the energetic and declamatory Mr. O'CoNNELL. His speech on 111,m day night, was remarkable for its power of invective, and not di , ficient in pathos in some passages. Its effect upon the House was, as. usual, more than neutralized by the want of confidence in the good intentions of the orator. It is dear that in the House of Commons Mr O'CONNELL is not trusted, nor respected, although his extraordinary talents :ire acknotiledged and undeniable. Mr. Column., on Monday, was rather tedious ; he rose to move a counter-address at a late hour, and the influence of the drowsy god Seemed to benumb his powers. At last he .carted a piece of pleasant buffoonery, awl tnade the most of it. The House is generally disposed to be amused—. " For gentle Dulness ever loves a joke and when Mr. CORBETT is amusing, instead of being didactic, he is very well listened to. He r. sisted with great coolness, and perfect success, a determined effort to put him, down by the ill-bred practice of coughing. Still, we caution him against trying the temper of his audience too often by long-winded addresses, interlarded with ex tracts from written or printed papers. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT is quite out of place in the Reformed Parliament. All his cleverness and debating talent will not compensate for his absolute want of decency in advocating principles and defending abuses which he has been all his life, till very Lately, noted for condemning in unmeasured terms. Ctn he suppose that the eloquent haranues against sinecut ists and aristocrats which he once poured forth so fluently are, forgotten ? We see no reason why Sir FRANCIS should not make an excellent spokesman for the Conservative party, should they ever return to office. His speech on Thursday night, upon Mr. HUME'S motion against sine cures, might have b-en consistently delivered by Mr. Wzrattram or Mr. CANNING. Sir ROBERT PEEL is too Cautious a man to have spoken anything so much opposed to the temper of the times.—Spectator. MRS. SHERIDAN'S FORTHCOMING WORK.

CURIOUS FACT.—A citizen, who has two young blackbirds of last year's brood, kept them for some tittle in a situation where they were much annoyed by a banditti of mice that daily and nightly robbed them of their lawful provender. One of these depredators having been caught and strangled in a wire-trap, he was thrown into the cage, but the birds became frightened, and showed no disposition to be revenged on their fallen enemy. The little fellow was then taken out, roasted before the are, and again thrown into the cage, by way of experimenting upon animal instinct. The blackbirds immediately com im-nced a banquet upon the wholesale roast, and in a few minutes pot.r mousie was gobbled up, bones and all. The birds appeared to relish tt e repast amazingly well, but whether from a gratification of the palate, or a principle of re/wage, the aviarist could not say.—Scotsman. FRENCH PAPERS. CHAMBER OF PEERS.—Sirmo or FEE. 15. 13aron Pasquier took the chair a few minutes before 2. The attendance of Peers was very great, and every part of the Chamber appropriated to spectators was crowded. After the proces-verbal had been adopted, Generals Gerard, 1-laxo, and St. Cyr NugLes, newly-created Peers, took the oath and their seats. The Chamber proceeded to the consideration of the right of Count d'Astorg to take his seat without creating a maJorat. M. Brayer and the Count de Pontecoulant agreed with the Committee that M. d'Astorg ought to be admitted ; but the Count d'Anthouard and the Count de Montalivet were of opi. Ilion that he must first either create a majorat or obtain a royal ordinance relieving him from the obligation to do so. On the suggestion of the latter Noble Peer, the further considera. tion of the question was adjourned. _ _ During this discussion Marshal Soult entered the Chamber, supported by crutches, and took his seat on the Ministers' bench. The Count De Bondy brought up a report, recommending the adoption of a bill relative to the monument of the Place de la Bastille.—Ordered to be printed.. The Chamber then proceeded to the general discussion of the bill relative to the etat de siege. The Marquis De Dreux-Breze said that he rose to exa mine the spirit and consequences of the bill in what regarded its political bearing, leaving to more experienced men to can vass it in a military point of view. The committee, notwith. standing the numerous modifications they had introduced, had not been able to get rid of all the provisions hostile to liberty. —(Murmurs.) When it was proved that a constitution did not meet the wants of a great nation, wishes and hopes were directed elsewhere. Ministers believed that arbitrary mea sures were necessary, and had therefore proposed the bill be fore the Chamber. The Chamber should fear that when it had granted them what they asked, they should take what it did not grant. Public liberty was the first necessity of France. The revolution of July was directed against arbitrary rule, and the object of the bill was to re-establish it. A Prince, who did not imagine that he was attacking the charter, but was exer_ cising a constitutional right, in signing the ordinances of July, was designated a traitor; and yet this bill only gave vigour and rendered more clear and tamous article 14, the obscurity of which was so disastrous to France. In case the bill were re. jected, it would be better to build a new Bastile than to erect a monument upon the site of the old one. If the bill had been applied to strong towns alone, it would have been conceivable, but it must be inapplicable to open towns and the communes. The committee ought to have proposed the rejection of the bill; because the Chamber should devote its attention to use ful measures, and not to dangerous projects. M. Villemain strongly protested against the comparison of the etat de siege of July' 5, 1630, and that subsequently called for by the whole population of the capital. If the 27th of July had triumphed, would the Peers of France, and the De. puties who had temporarily conducted the administration of the state been allowed to appeal to the Court of Cessation ?—The heads of all those suspected of having taken part in the holy insurrection would have fallen. Never was there a comparison more scandalous. The etat de siege of June was called for by the National Guards who were outlaws on the 25th of July. The Minister of Justice inquired whether the rebels of the Cloitre Saint- Mery were the population of Paris or the National Guards combined with the troops of the line surrounding the King ?—(Cheers.) After the revolution of July the Govern ment had to face dangers from two parties,--the one the re publicans, who made a direct attack ; and the other the legiti matists, who divided themselves into two camps, the one being for a direct attack with arms, and the other imagining that if they eould drive the Government to radicalism it would be ne cessarily overthrown. The. Minister then cited a passage from Burnet, relative to the English revolution, in which the par ties opposed to the Government were represented as adopt ing a policy very similar ; but, continued he, society and the Government are stronger than the calculations of these parties. He then refuted the objections of the noble Marquis, advocated the Bill as amended by the Committee, and concluded in the following terms :—" At present no one fears for liberty in France, which can only be endangered by disorder. The ene mies of the Government having no apprehensions for liberty, set themselves up against public order. The Bill contains no thing contrary to liberty, but provides measures to preserve France from disorder." , General Mathieu Dumas gave an account of the motives upon which the amendments of the Committee were grounded. Baron "Wormier, in expatiating on the existing laws intended to be modified by the new Bill, admitted that important modifi cations were necessary, but he did not consider that in the Irma sure before the Chamber Ministers had succeeded in reconciling the interests of the Government with the liberties of the people. The Noble Peer concluded by proposing several amendments which would render the measure a totally different Bill, and to which we shall refer more particularly when they are brought under discussion. The Chamber then adjourned till to-morrow. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.—Sirma OF FEB. 16. M. Berenger took the chair at 25 minutes past I. After the proas verbal had been read and adopted, M. Tixier de la Chassaigne brought up a report on the bill for granting a sup plementary credit of 2,200,000 f. to complete the indemnities for damage done to private property during the revolution of July. The Hon. reporter entered into various details and calculations to prove that there were some errors in the estimates made by Governinent, and concluded by proposing to allow the sum of 2,029,000 f. The report was ordered to be taken into considera tion on Monday, in order to admit of completing the budget of the Department of the Interior, the last chapter of which had been adjourned till after the vote of this law. M. Pelet de la Lozerc brought up a report on the proptiii tion of M. de Corcelles, for some alterations in the standing orders of the Chamber. The Committee approved of some of the suggestions of the Hon Deputy, but proposed several mo. difications, which we shall detail in the discussion of the report, which was ordered to succeed that of the budget of the Department of Foreign Affairs. The Chamber then proceeded to hear the reports on a va riety of petitions, o 1 which the following alone presented any features of general interest :—A petition from some prisoners for debt was, on the suggestion of M. Aroux, referred to the Minister "of Justice to examine whether there was not an omis. sion in the law relative to imprisonment for debt, passed last session, inasmuch as it does not clearly specify whether prisoners in prison at the time of the passing of the bill Tray reckon their previous imprisonment in calculating the time during which the law allows them to be detained in prison, or whether that time must only begin to be calculated from the date of the promulgation of the law. A petition, praying that a regular tariff may be fixed for all notarial acts, was, on the recommendation of the committee, referred to the Minister of Justice, in opposition to the opinion of M. PHerbette, who wished to pass to the order of the day, on the ground of the existing legislation being sufficient. The Chamber, amid universal laughter, passed to the order of the day on the petition of M. Victor, who prayed that France would obtain possession of Belgium, by means of a treaty of alliance with Holland on that condition. The Chamber was still occupied with the reports on petitions when our reporter left. (From Galignani's Messenger of Saturday.) The Austrian Observer, of the 7th instant, contains the fallowing :—" According to letters from Cot fu, King Otho, of Greece, upon his arrival in that port, on board the Madagascar, was received there in the most solemn manner by the Lord High Commissioner, Lord Nugent, the Commanding General, Sir A. Woodford, and other functionaries of the lonian Government. His Majesty and suite dined with the Lord High Commissioner, and afterwards attended a ball given at the Government Palace. After the ball the King returned on board the frigate. On the following morning the Lord High Commissioner, with the commanding General, and all his staff_ officers, and a guard of honour, went to the port, when his Majesty came on shore, amidst the roaring of the cannon of the ships and the citadel. An innumerable multitude hailed the King with their cheers, who proceeded to the apartments pre pared for him in the Government Palace. Soon after his Majesty a7peared on horseback on the Esplanade, where a review of the troops was held. In the evening the Lord High Com missioner, with his suite, Sir A. Woodford, the President of the Senate, the Regent, and many other persons attached to the Government, dined at his Majesty's table. Advices from Malta state that Vice-Admiral Sir Henry Hotham left that island on the I2th of January, on board the Alfred man-of.war, to proceed to Napoli di Romania, and await there the arrival orKing °than!' The Augsburg. Gazette of the 12th instant has the follow ing letter of the 3d ult., from Alexandria :—" Yesterday, upon receiving the news of the victory gained at Konia, and of the capture of the Grand Vizier, Mehemet Ali declared that on the arrival of the Grand Vizier he would meet him on the beach; for, said he, Redschid is a higher functionary of the I'orte than myself, and lam still its faithful vassal The Egyptain fleet is in this port. All the vessels are covered with flags, and are firing salutes, which are returned from the ram parts. The rejoicings are to continue for some days."

Is.—Despatches from England received yes terday by the Duc de Broglie, gave occasion for calling a Coun cil of Ministers, which met in the evening. Several couriers have been despatched this morning to Londo►►, Vienna, and Berlin. It is affirmed, that if M. Humann and Barthe so warmly defended the cause of M. Latitte in the debate relative to the accounts of Hayti, it was because the former sees his responsi. bilty implicated by the advances which he has made to King Otho, without being certain that the Chamber will agree to sanction the Greek loan. The Ministers wished to establish a precedent. They only half succeeded! But the Chamber is so obliging! For some days past many changes of the Secretaries of the French Legation have been spoken of. It is also said that several of our Ambassadors and Charges d'Affaires will be changed. It is still believed that Marshal Maison refuses the embassy to St. Petersburgh. Yesterday M. de Bassano, or M. Decazes, was spoken of in some circles as likely to be sent to the Russian Court. It is more strongly reported than ever in the financial world, that a project of law is in contemplation for reducing the in terest of the four per cents. It is on the ground of the speedy presentation of this plan that M. Humann repels the insinuations respecting the diminution of the sinking. The opposition, how ever, seems resolved to propose this diminution. A meeting of the Deputies of the Opposition, yesterday evening, is spoken of, in which the question was agitated. (From the ConslitutionneL) PARIS, FE/. 13.—An incident, of the highest importance, distinguished the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies to.day. It related to an unhappy budget of ecclesiastical affairs, which, after having passed from one Ministry to another, has at length stopped, Heaven knows for how long a time, in the depart ment of the Minister of the Interior, on the subject of the sum to be allotted for the salaries of the Bishops. M. Augustin Giraiici proposed that, by means of successive extinctions, no nomination should be made to the Episcopal Sees, which were not comprehended in the Concordat of 1801, at the conclu. slots of the negotiations with the Court of Rome—that is to say, in other words, the actual number of eighty Bishops should gradually be reduced to fifty. (From the Journal du Commerce.) PARIS, FEB. 15.-It is only from the 16th of this month that the Army of the East, commanded by General Petit, will be dissolved. Some movements of the troops will take place in consequence. The 13th light infantry goes from Charleville to Metz. Major-General Baron Heurion is to go to Givet to take the command of a brigade formed of the 36th and 37th regiments of the line, which, without forming part of any corps, remains brigaded. The 3d division of the infantry of the Army of the North, under the command of General Jamiu, retains its complete organization, and is going to be distributed in the departments of the Ardennes and the Meuse.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JAN. 16.—The arrival of the Persian Ambassador in this capital has excited great attention, and the more so as it was immediately reported that the object of his mission was to offer succour to the Porte. It has been since discovered that the obliging offers of the Persian Court are founded on self-interest, the State requiring from the Sultan, as the condition of his assistance, the cession of the Pachalic of Bagdad, which has been so long the subject of contention be tween the two empires. Should the Sultan not be in need of military aid, the Ambassador is said to be authorized to pro pose to the Porte a pecuniary indemnity for the cession of that province, which, on account of the continual disturbances, is a constant source of expense. Some persons conjecture that Russia favours the last proposal, because it would relieve the finances of the Porte, and enable it to pay the arrears of the contribution due to Russia. However improbable it is that the Sultan will agree to such a proposal, it is, however, affirmed, on respectable authority, that the offers of Persia are so extremely advantageous, that it is pro bible the Porte will not directly refuse them. The accounts from the Egyptian head-quarters are favourable: the language of the persons immediately about Ibrahim gives room to hope that Mehemet Ali will consent to a final arrangement on the same basis as the armistice. Ibrahim, therefore, waits for orders to retreat within the Syrian frontiers. A small part of the re mains of the Turkish army has rallied, but a greater portion infests those parts of Asia Minor which are still free from the enemy, and commits all kinds of excesses. The intelligence received a few days ago, that a messenger, who was bringing to the Imperial Mint the value of 800,000 piastres in silver, had been attacked and plundered by one of these bands, seems to have at length induced the Porte to adopt effectual measures. We learn that the new principality of Samos, of which Stephen Wogorides is appointed Governor, includes the islands of Nicaria, Palmos, Lero, Phurna, and some smaller islands. VIENNA, FEB. 5.—A French Secretary of Legation has arrived from Paris, by whom we learn that Count St. Aulaire has accepted the post of Ambassador to our Court, and Marshal Maison only waits for his arrival to go to St. Petersburgh. We have no news from Constantinople later than the 16th. The proposals for peace discussed between Ibrahim and the French Charge d'Affaires have probably led to the cessation of hostili ties.; and the frequent exchange of couriers to and from Paris undoubtedly relates to this affair. Great agitation prevails in Servia, but Prince Milosch exerts himself to the utmost to main tain tranquillity and suppress the tendency to insurrection which manifests itself in many places. He acts entirely in the interest of the Porte, having regard to its friendly relations with Russia. We learn from Greece that the certainty of the speedy ar rival of the King and the Regency has already made a very good impression, and that the several parties begin to ap proximate. Difficult as the task of restoring order may be, it is hoped the majority of the ,Greeks, feeling the necessity of peace and union, will sincerely attach themselves to the new Government. Allgemeine Zeitung, Feb. 11. FRANKFORT, FEB. 11.—The journal of Odessa, of 18th January, contains the following intelligence from Constanti nople, respecting the operations of the Egyptian army :—The Sultan's army has experienced a new defeat. After Ibrahim Pacha had made himself master of Koniah, and of all the Turkish magazines of ammunition and provisions, he gained another victory at Akshir. The bad weather, however, did not allow time to prosecute his advantages. The panic terror that has seized the Turks, renders them unable to make any resistance. Diplomacy will now step in.—Frankfort Papers, Feb. 12. OPORTO, FEB. 4. Now for the few facts that have occurred since my last of the `29th. Admiral Sartorius has not conic on shore, but there are accounts from him. It is denied that the fleet did not obey the signal to them when made, but that, on the contrary, they bore down on the instant. The fact of mutiny is, however, indis putable, and 15,000 dollars are in readiness to be sent out to appease the discontent, but the weather has been so bad as not to allow of the transmission of the money. The army has been newly organized, as you will perceive by the Cronica, No, 29. The Duke of Terceira is to command the Ist division, consist ing of three brigades, with the Queen's Lancers, and a brigade of . light artillery of 4 guns, howitzers and 3 hill guns. The 2d division, under Count Saldanha, to consist also of three brigades of infantry, with the 10th cavalry (about 50 horses), and the same proportion of artillery as the first. The 3d division, to be commanded by General Stubbs, to consist of two bri ' gades, the first consisting of the British, and second of the Ist and 2d regiments Queen's Light Infantry, with the 11th ca valry (about 50 horses), and a brigade of artillery oft six and 4 nine pounders and 2 howitzers, with the reserve park of field artillery. The Queen's Light Infantry consist of the French and other foreigners. The Ist is composed chiefly of French, the 2d of Belgians, Germans, and people of almost every nation, save English, Portuguese, and French. This latter regiment does not seem likely to prove very beneficial, as several deser tions have taken place from it, whole pickets having gone over together. Telles Jordan had a flag fixed near Lordello as the point at which all the British and French were to present them selves ; at least so he made his people believe. This was dis covered, and means taken to prevent any mischievous conse quences, but some, I regret to confess, have resulted. The enemy must have agents both active and daring in the neigh_ bourhood of the Fez and Lordello, but none I fear so injurious as the want of pay, and the quality of provisions within our lines. This will be manifest when you learn that the contagion has spread to the British battalions, from which parties of four, three, and six, have deserted on Thursday, Friday, and Satur day nights. On the other hand, while seine of the enemy were amusing themselves on Wednesday plundering a house at Lor_ dello, they were surprised by a picket of French and striven off, leaving three of their number dead. Captain George, of the navy, with a feeling which does him credit, has volunteered, in consideration of the present exigencies to serve without pay. He is to have the command of the gunboats now preparing, the first of which is called the Solignac. Captain Warner, of whose new artillery great hopes were entertained, has made a similar offer, with the gratuitous expenditure of all his materiel, provided he is allowed the proper means of putting his plans in execution ; if not, lie goes home. I much wish that some of the vessels with fodder, which are off, could land even part of their cargoes, as that brought from England is exhausted, and Indian grass, with oats damaged by seas rater, produce a bad effect upon the horses. Fresh decrees have been published against forestallers, and no one is now allowed to purchase aught that may be landed until it arrives within the city. I mentioned some time ago that a subscription fur the poor was on foot, and am now happy to say that means have been taken to supply them with food, an object most desira ble, especially when cholera has begun to commit its ravages. The Government has given the Carmelite convent as a depot, and the preparations are now nearly complete for the distribu tion of soup, &c. Speaking of cholera, I must observe that the Consul will not give clean bills of health any longer, and this has caused some murmurs; but of course he must do his duty. Admiral Parker having heard of the distressed condition of the poor, sent one hundred cruzados as his subscription towards their relief. The officers of the squadron here (1;(1 not wait for his example to come forward in the same good cause. As to provisions, they continue ex. tremely high, and of inferior quality : poor beef cannot be had under 15 or 10 vintems the pound; it has not been for some time, except very rarely, served out in rations; the substitute is baccalao. There has been a small rise in the price of this latter article, but nothing to indicate approaching scarcity, which would not be the case were the reports well founded, that there is not more than three weeks' consumption in the town. No doubt the feeding exclusively upon this food and rice must cause a great inroad upon the stock in hand, but I trust there still remains enough for the subsistence of the army and the population to last a considerable time yet. There is almost a fleet of ships with stores off the coast ; and as the weather has moderated this morning, we may soon hope for a supply. The enemy will, I know, take every pains to prevent this, and mortars have been placed in both the Cabodello batteries with this view. There are, as nearly as may be, three quarters of a mile from the landing-place under the light-house, the Sam payo rather more than a mile, and the Castel do Quejo at the other side on the beach three-quarters of a mile. There are no guns upon the Castro hill, the summit of which is about a third of a mile from the shore, nor do the enemy seem disposed to erect any works there, ah.hough they have a great number of men digging intrenchments to flank the valley, that must be crossed, to attack it, or the Quejo. Miguel's troops, in every respect save that of provisions, are infinitely worse off than those of Don Pedro. Except a few pet regiments, they are in a wretched plight as to clothes and shoes, while the troops here are well and warmly secured from the weather; and as to pay, the Miguelites have not received any for five months. They were, I have the best reason for believing, on the eve of open revolt, on this account, but I much fear the desertions, particularly of the English, and the evil reports which runa ways always give of their last quarters, may prevent any ex plosion from taking.place. On Saturday another and nearly a fatal mistake, to give it the mildest term, occurred. Captain Belcher, with one of the Etna'e boats, landed at the Foz, and crossed to the light-house, for the purpose of endeavouring to put the officer, with hi s despatches, on board the Rhadamanthus, and to bring in, i possible, the mails left by the Savage. Having in vain at_ tempted to effect their object, the party returned to their tort near the Foz, and were not agreeably-surprised by-three shots from the Sampaio battery, one of which went very close to the boat, and another barely cleared the heads of the men amidships. They stood immediately over to the battery, where Captain Bel. cher landed, and reproached the officer in command with the outrage which had been committed. A remonstrance was sent by the senior officer to General Lemos, but Santa Martha, although at the north side, anticipated the arrival of the complaint, as he sent a letter of apology, with a copy of the officer's report from the battery, before he could have had Captain Glascock's letter. The sum of it was this— that a Brazilian boat had shortly before gone to the same place, at which they fired ; that soon afterwards a boat under sail, and without any flags visible to them, came from the spot, and they fired to bring her to. This was reiterated by General Lemos the same evening, with the assurance that exclusive of good feeling there was nothing his King's Government took such pains to prevent as in any way compromising themselves with the British Government, and that it it was not possible to distinguish whether there were any flags when they were rolled up or covered by a sail. The General went farther, in which, however, I don't agree with him, though lam sure he was sincere as to the policy, namely, that they had suffered rebel vessels to pass both in and out of the river sooner than hazard any species of dispute with the British Government. The real state of the matter I believe to have been pretty nearly, as they gave it; a Brazilian boat did go down ; the bar boat had not before carried sail, the flags were fastened to the leeches of the sails, and that they might not be per. ceptible to the people on the batteries. I can only say it was very lucky that there was no loss of life. The list of sequestrations for the month of January amount to 158, and, with those in December, make in all 254. The English Ist battalion has mutinied again to.day. FEBRUARY s.—Desertion again from the English, and to a greater extent than on any previous occasion. So far has the practice gone, that the men openly tell their officers that they will go over. I suppose, in consequence of this, that the British are now on guard allong the qnay walls. The.offi cers of the Scotch battalion have volunteered their services without pay. From the constant repetition of these mutinies • the Government are at length exerting themselves seriously to clear off the arrears.—Times. LISBON. FEB. 4. OFFICIAL.-(COPY.) " Most Illustrious and Excellent Senhor,—l have the honour to transmit to your Excellency, to be communicated to his Malesty, the report made to me by the Major-General com manding the Second Division of the centre, of the 24th of this month. The rebels having advanced by the road from Oporto to Foz, began a well supported fire to protect a reconnoissance on our extreme right, upon which their left made a terrible fire, with the view of decoying in our out-posts, and of bat tering Fort Queigo ; but having advanced in the direction of Lordillo and Navogilde, only so far as our videttes retreated on their respective piquets, the latter maintained their posi tions till some of our light troops and the Ist Regiment of Elvas, part of that of Braganza, and the Militia of Francozo, advancing to the music of the Royal hymn, repulsed and pur sued them to the house called Do Pasteleine, towards Oporto, and to the position of La Foz, and this under a brisk fire of artillery. The broken ground hindered our cavalry from taking an earlier part. " The enemy left behind a good many killed and wounded, and nine prisoners, including a surgeon of the English regi mer.t. Their loss is estimated at 150 to 200 men. We have to lament the loss of the brave Major H. da Silva Teixeira Pinto, of the Royalist Volunteers of Merandella, who fell while bravely advancing to the enemy, as he had often done before.

(The Gazette contains no further accounts, official or private, from the army.) KING'S THEATRE. This theatre, under the management of M. LApORTE, coin. menced its season on Saturday night. The house was fully and fashionably attended, and having had various additional em. bellishments, made during the recess, presented a very magni ficent and imposing appearance. We hope the season will be a lucrative one for the Manager, and those interested in it, for it has been commenced in a spirit of enterprise that deserves every encouragement. ROssiNes well-known and greatly ad mired opera, La Cenerentola, was selected for the opening, and was extremely well performed. The heroine was represented by Madame BOCCABADATI, a lady formerly attached to the the atre San Carlos, at Naples, but more recently engaged at the Theatre Royal Italien, at Paris. In person she is petite, but neat and symmetrically formed. As a. singer she deserves much praise, and not a little as an actress. Her voice is not of first-rate quality; it is not unplea.sing, but it is deficient in fullness and roundness of tone. She, however, thoroughly understands its capabilities, and undertakes nothing which she cannot perfectly accomplish. Throughout her perform ance she displayed a rare mixture of fine science and delicate expression. She introduced no unmeaning ornaments, no un. necessary roulades, which excite surprise, but do not commu nicate pleasure. She appeared to enter thoroughly into the feeling, whether of melancholy or of delight, which she was called on to give utterance to, and she suited, with great skill and taste, the means to the end. In the early part of the opera she was heard rather coldly, but as it proceeded her powers de veloped themselves more strongly in every Scene, and finally she carried the audience completely with her. Her concluding air, where Cencrcntola forgives the injuries which had been heaped on her by her father and her sisters, " 7.e antiche ingiurie " Mi svenir dally mente," was given with delightful pathos, and was loudly encored. Her portamento is admirable, and her school of the elevated and solid character to which that quality is so essential. Her style is elegant and flowing, and displayed itself delightfully in the celebrated quintett of the first act, the concluding scene, and the other principal pieces. We think there are parts in which she will be heard to yet better advantage than in the C'eneren tola, but she had every reason to be satisfied with the effect of her debut. It was decidedly successful. DoNzew was the Prince. He never sang more charmingly, though he occa sionally evinced an unnecessary determination to prove what every body present knew, that he has the finest voice in the world. DE BECNIS, as the old MagnOico, was welcomed heartily upon the boards from which he ought not to have been so long absent. He gave all the force of his rich humour to the part, wherever it was susceptible of the least effect, and performed throughout with more than his usual spirit. VINCENZO GALLI, as Dandini, was not so success ful. Though an excellent singer he fails in this part by comparison with most of his predecessors ; among other rea sons, the music of the part is too low for his voice. The new ballet of Faust was produced under the disadvan tageous circumstances of delays before the rising of the cur tain and between the acts, which kept the audience in the theatre until half.past two o'clock' Added to this was the failure of the scenery and arrangements of the last scene, and yet so truly beautiful were many portions of the scenic effect, and so admirable the dancing, that the performance on the whole was quite successful. The ballet has for its subject the principal scenes and incidents of GOETHE'S Faust. The chief scene, that of the "dwelling of the Prince of Hell," with the review of the "diabolic army," is from the ballet-opera La Tentatiun, which, we presume, would not have been tolerated here in its entire form. This is a scene of the most splendid description, in which an immense staircase is seen "leading to the regions of day." It is an extraordinary novelty. It reaches from the stage to the top of the theatre, and when its whole space is occupied by two marching bands of demons in their grotesque forms and dresses, the effect is magnificent in the extreme. Could we condescend to play the plagiary this would be an irresistable "frntation ;" for we have before us the literary portion of M. Desitsves' labours, minutely setting forth all the mysteries and splendours of this Avernian descent. But it is not for us to lead our readers that way ; and we therefore leave them to the safe conduct of that eminent litterateur, whose production is to be had at the Theatre. The scenery of the second act is remarkable only for a beautiful view of a cathedral and city from a high platform or terrace, which, however, are set down, in the authority above referred to, as " a sylvan country," &c. In matters terrestrial all are liable to error ; but, when once under the ground, we do not mean to cast the least doubt on the authen ticity of DESIIATES. The third act shows us the fete at which Margaret's brother is killed by Faust, her prison, and the conclusion, in which we have another staircase where Margaret appears under the protection of the Genius of Virtue, and all the rest, owing to the mishap we have before alluded to, was left to be filled up by the imagination of the spectators. In the future performances we have no doubt the end will be worthy the truly magnificent progress of the piece. ALBERT 'played Paust—we mean as to the real acting—admirably. The Mephistophiles of COULON appeared to us —we speak with de .and lERo : , d as was exquisitely warrnly f erence —not to be quite up to the devil's m ar k .
