The appeals we have for some time been making to the common sense of the country, are I now beginning to produce their first overt effects. , The people are demonstrating their determina tion no longer to submit to the law by which , the landowners attempt to starve them into pay ing what price they please to demand for the first necessary of life. In another column will be found an account of two meetings in London and Edinburgh, held for the purpose , of forming societies to aid in obtaining the repeal of the corn laws, and others are spoken of at Dundee, Nottingham, and other places. This is well, but the eff)rts of all must be united to carry into effect a common plan of operations, and we trust that one will yet be formed with names at its head sufficiently weighty to accomplish this object. At any rate, it behoves ell buyers of bread to be upon the alert, for there are evident symptoms throughout the country of a determination on the part of the landlords to make another attempt on the pockets of those who have to buy their produce. Their grand set will be made next session at obtaining a repeal of . the malt tax. As this sounds liberal and popular enough, it may be well in few words to repeat, although for the hundredth time, the reasons why it would be of no service to the people without a free importation of foreign barley. When there is an average crop of barley, the price is not materially affected by the tax upon malt, for the demand being greater than the supply, the competition of buyers raises the price till it becomes so high that foreign barley comes in at a low duty. As long as foreign barley is prevented from coming in till the home price has reached the limit assigned it by the landowners, it is clear that the de mand will make it reach this limit, whether the home duty on malt be taken off or remain on. To take off the duty will therefore be putting so much into the pockets of the landlords, unless other bar!ey come in to prevent malt selling at its present price. It is true that the malt tax occasions much more to be drawn from the people than the mere amount collected, but what in direct tax does not ? The tax on spirits, the tax on starch—in short all the taxes of excise— raise the price of the articl es on which they are imposed, more than ky the amount collected. There is no peculiar argument to be urged, then, for the repeal of the malt tax, except that it wilt put so many millions into the pockets of landowners pr ions leaseholders, like Mr, ciaiSETT, which ‘: must be supplied from the i\ckats - of the of the people. Let no one then be deceived by the hypocritical outcry of the landlords and the farmers having for a time the same interests as landlords—that a repeal of the malt tax will make beer cheap to the poor man. Let the landlords allow him to get as cheap bread as he can, and afterwards talk of giving him cheap beer. We have received a copy of an interesting report from the Universal Statistical Society of France on the progress of the French trade from 1716 to 1832, a period of 116 years, from which it appears that the imports have risen from 65,079,000 francs to 786,017,000 francs, and the exports from 106,216,000 franc to 807,161,000 francs. The rise has been gradual, with the exception of the year 1825, when the imports and exports were higher than at any period before 1830, and of the year imme diately following the last Revolution, when the imports underwent a material diminution ; but last year they had again risen to nearly the amount of 1830, and the exports had increased from 628,493.000 francs, the amount in 1830 to 807,161,000 francs. This improvement in the trade of France, notwithstanding the absurd restrictions to which it is still subjected, shows the strength of her internal resources, and ought to open the eyes of the Northern Powers to the importance of preserving peace with a country possessing means not only of defence, but of annoyance. When the Chamber of Deputies shall have abolished the restrictions by which the trade is shackled, we shall expect to see a still greater improvement. The Marquis of FUNCHAL, the Ambassador from the Court of Portugal to this country, died yesterday morning at Brighton, at the advanced age of seventy-five, after a very few hours' illness, having retired to rest in his usual health. The Marquis was much esteemed 1.1 the KING, with whom he had the honour of being acquainted for a period of forty years, and had the reputation of being an honest and con sistent liberal. His mission to this country was originally special, but by a recent decision of the Portuguese Ministry, it had been arranged that he should continue to act as Ambassador until a resident Minister Plenipotentiary could be appointed. His services to Don PEDRO were entirely gratuitous, although his fortune was limited. He was, more than forty years ago, Ambassador to GEORGE THE THIRD from King JOHN of Portugal, but subse quently resided for a long time at Rome, where, at the time of his death, he had a splendid palace. The brother of the Marquis, the Conde de LINHARES, one of the wealthiest mine proprietors in the Brazils, is expected here in the course of a few weeks on his way to Lisbon, having, as it is understood, been in vited by Don PEDRO to take a leading part in the Ministry. The Marquis of FUNCHAL was fond of literature, and had written two or three works, but he was by no means a profound politician or a skilful diplomatist, and he owed his appointment here as ambassador entirely to his rank among the old nobility of Portugal, and to the circumstance of his being on intimate terms with some of the principal personages at our Court. The Chevalier DE LIMA, the Portuguese Charge d'Affaires, who had received notice of removal to Paris, will probably continue here, in consequence of the death of the Marquis, until some other arrange ment can be made by the Portuguese Ministry, We have received German papers to the 24th instant. The only important part of their contents is an article from Vienna, apparently from authority, contradicting, in the most un qualified terms, the statement in some of the French papers of an intended Italian Confe deration, of which the Emperor of AUSTRIA was to be at the head. It appears by a letter from Trieste, in these Papers, that there has been a total change in the Greek Ministry. We are not suffi ciently acquainted with the names of the new Ministry, to say whether they have been appointed through Russian influence, but such is proba bly the case. An article from St. Petersburgh states that there is great activity in the War Department of the Russian Cabinet, and that a further levy of recruits is expected. VIENNA, Nov 19.—Five per Cent.

SUGDEN stated that in a case in which three persens had been ordered to be committed for the contempt of this Court in failing to make a payment of money, one of the parties, named Risynsford, had been delivered over to the custody of the Warden of the Fleet. By the order which had been made to the Warden, be was ordered to stand committed until the further order of the Court, but in the original order of commitment there were no such words as " until the further order of the Court." Th solicitor for the plaintiff, at whose suit Raynsford bad been committed, the money being re idy to he paid, had offered to indemnify tiie Warden, provided he liberated the pri. sorter at once, being satisfied there was no further cause of detention ; but in consevence of the insertion of the words already quoted into the order, the Warden did not feel himself at liberty to discharge the prisoner without the further order of the Court. Under such circum stances, the learned Counsel submitted that the Court ought at once to strike out the words " until thi. further "rder of the Court," or make another order directing the discharge. The LORD CHANCELLOR. was of opinion that the more regular way would be to make another order, but in order to save the prisoner that expense, he told the Warden, who was present in Court, to consider himself perfectly safe in discharging the prisoner, after what had passed. Sir EDWARD SUGDEN then stated that there was another subject respecting committals, which he thought it right to bring to the attention of the Court. The cause of detention did not sometimes reach the Warden for a week, and sometimes for weeks, atter the committal of prisoners. The consequence was, many prisoners being ignorant persons, they knew not why they hail been turned over to the Fleet, and any one desirous of affording them any assistance was prevented, frequency for a considerable time, from doing so, from that rir• cutustance. The Court ought to lay down some rule, imposing, as an imperative duly, on those at whose instance prisoners were sent to the 1 , 1,,t for contempt, to transmit within a given number of hours the cause of detention. Sir E. SUGDEN further stated, that there was yet an other source of complaint. He knew not that it was absolutely necessary that a person, idler being ordered to he committed to the Fleet prison, should be conveyed thither. The warden who was present, complained to him that many writs were issued, and many prisoners ordered to be committed by the Court of which he heard nothing, until long after the prisoners had been discharged, and of which he sometimes never heard any thing at all. These prisoners were discharged by somebody; whether they were properly or improperly discharged was not the present question, but he (Sir Edward) did submit that if any person or persons were to have the authority of discharging prisoners except the Court, after the order for commitment had issued, and before the prisoners had found their way to the Fleet, it ought to be a superintendent appointed by his Lordship. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed that those subjects well deserved consideration, and that consideration they should have. It had occasionally occurred, that from motives of lenity, a prisoner had been ordered to he de- tained by an officer of the Court, instead of being sent immediately within the walls of the Fleet ; but in instances of that kind, which had come within his own conscience, nothing improper had taken place. At common law, in the c ,se of an arrest, a Sheriff's officer was in the habit of detaining a prisoner for a certain time before he was delivered over to prison ; that required revision—and it, with the practice alluded to in this Court, might very well affird ground for some regulation to be made on the subject, and which should have his Lordship's best atten tion with as little delay as possible. Sir EDWARD SUDDEN begged to be understood as im puting nothing wrong to any individual, but only as being desirous that goiters and the public should know what the course was that the late of the land required. There was another point which regarded a poor woman who had been committed to the Fleet a few (lays ago, and upon which, together with the others, probably his Lordship might think it well to consult with the Vice. Chancellor, and if they two would accept of any little assistance which he (Sir Edward), together with Mr. Blunt, who had paid great attention to this subject could give, they would he most happy to communicate all the information in their power. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that nothing would give him creamer saii4action than to have the assistance of his Honour and of the two Learned Gentlemen in framiog seine reeulations upon this subject, and which he should certainly avail himself of. A few 'rimers in lunacy were mentioned, which were quite of course, and the Court proceeded to the further heating of Rowe v. Gudgeon. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Westminster aler Michaelmas Term, before the LOUD CHIEF JUSTICE and CoinmonMiddlesex Juries.) ENESS V. HOYKI,S. Sir J. SCARLETT appeared in this case for the plaintiff, who is a lidt manufacturer, and the action was brought to recover 41 ss. from the defendant, bring the balance due upon an account admittrd between the parties. The plaintiff's orLtinal claim amounted to 141. 10. f., which arose in respect of hats sold and deliver, d to the defendant, a tailor; and it was admitted that different sums of money hid been paid on account, which left the balance due now in question. Mr. BUSBY appeared for the defendant. The defence set up was, that he had a set-off, which arose in the following way: it was agreed between them that a person of the name of Thomas, a friend of the plaintiff, should have a coat and pair of trousers made by the defendant, which, from the prices then fixed, would leave a balance due to the latter of some shillings. The learned counsel called Thomas as a witness, for the purpose of proving this fact. It appeared, however, from his testimony, that the goods li,cl never been deLvered according to the contract, and, thetefore, no valid set-off could he esta blished. The Jury accordingly found a verdict for the plaintiff.— Damages 41. ss. COMMON PLEAS-(THIS DAY.) (Before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and a Common Jury, HEAD V. BANFIELD. This was an aciiorrl;tigitthythe plaintiff to recover a compensation in damages from the defendant, a shop. keeper, in Marylehone, for publishing a libellous placard, in which the plaintiff was stated to be concerned with another p.rson in committing a felony. Mr. Sergeant JotiEs stated the case for the plaintiff, and then proceeded to call his witnes.es. OLD BAILEY SESSIONS.--(THIS DAY oLD COURT. Gregorio Guinea, a Spaniard, described in the Calendar as a soldier, aged 46 was capitally indicted for feloniously stabbing Domingo Maria Ruiz de la Vega, with intent to kill and murder him. Tile indictment contained a second count, la) ing the intent to disable, and 4 third count with intent to do come grits , :us 'Tidily harm. On the prisoner being placed at the bar, an inter,ireter was sworn and the indietinent was read, paragraph after paragraph, by the clerk of arraigns, and interpreted to the prisoner, who listened with the utmost attention, and pleaded guilty. The COMMON SERGEANT directed the interpreter to ask the prisoner if he knew the nature of the charge against him, and the punishment he made himself liable to by pleading guilty. The interpreter put the question to the prisoner, and replied that he did not understand the English laws, and did not know the consequences. The COMNION SER ;EA NT then said it would be more satisfactory to him if the prisoner should reconsider his nurse, and have an opportunity of pleading before the Judges. Shortly afterwards the Judges (Mr. Justice LITTLE DALE, Mr. Baron BOLIA ND, and Mr. Justice BOSANQOET) came into Court, when, by the direction of Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE, theintetpreter explain e d t o th e prisoner the consequences of his pleading guilty. The prisoner, through the interpreter, desired to with draw his plea of guilty, and to plead not guilty. inquived of the interpreter what Mr. 1, e J h u a s , t i c t e o dtiw LITTLEDALEpr prisoner. The The interpreter said that he had told him that if he was tried he would lie recommended to the m-rey of the Crown. Mr. Justice LITT LEDALE said suc h a representat i on was erroneous , as the Court could h o ld out no such h opes of mercy. Mr. BODKIN said he was inst ructed to defend the pri soner, who had received afull ex p l anat i on of the conse que was now in Court t o watch the Proce e di ngs . Aln c r. es of his pleadingLiTi,DA guilty_ the Sp an i s h Consul, who Interpr eter , te ll th e p r isoner Justicein that whether he pkads guilty or not guilty he is liable to be hanged. The interpreter did so, and said the prisoner pleaded not guilty. It was said that the interpreter did not correctly com municate with the prisoner, upon which the Vice-Cowul was desired to inform the prisoner 01 the precise situation in which he stood. The Vice-Consul having done so, informed the Court that the prisoner left himself to the mercy of the Judges and Jury. Mr. Justice lArruznatt —Does he plead guilty ? The Vice-Consul—He says criminal, or guilty, from his heart. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALI—Ask him if be pleads guilty of his own free will, or under the expectation that mercy will be extended to him. The Vice Consul—He says he leaves himself in the hands of the Almighty. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE-Tell him the Court has no power to recommend him to mercy, and ask bim what be now pleads. The Vice Consul—He says he leaves himself in the hands of the Almighty, and pleads Guilty. Mr. Justice LITTLEDA LE-Let the plea of Guilty be recorded. Mr. CLARKSON begged to inform the Court, that the offence to which the prisoner had just pleaded guilty, arose out of a misapprehension on his part that the pro secutor had the control and administration of a fund placed in the hands of Lord Fitzroy S imerset, under a Treasury warrant, for the relief of Spanish emigrants. The prosecutor begged it thus publicly to be stated, for the information of his countrymen, that he had no control whatever of the fund, and with this statement also to express a hope that the life of the prisoner would be spared. Mr. BODKIN said the prisoner admitted he committed the offence under this misapprehension while in a state of phreczy. He felt great contrition for the outrage, and was sensibly grateful fur the recommendation of the prosecutor. The prisoner was them removed. Jeremiah Barrett was capitally indicted for feloniously stealing, while in the employ of the General Post-office, as a letter-carrier, a letter containing three soveleigus, the moneys of the Dowager Countess of Winierton. Mr. ADOLPHUS, with whom was Mr. SHEPHERD, stated the case to the Jury on behalf of the prosevution. The Dowager Countess of Winterton, who sat upon the Bench, examined by Mr. SHEPHERD—Was resident in Brighton in the month of October last. Witness inclosed, on the 22 f October, three sovereigns, wrapped in and pinn d to the letter in silver paper in the letter pro duced, to a Miss Louisa Cowles, which letter witness sealed, and gave it to the footman to put into the pod. The letter was directed to 1, Manchester street, and it now appears directed to No. 11. Teat alteration has been ma , e since I sent it to the post-office. Siw the letter again at Bow-street. I• was not in the sane con dition as when it was sent to the post, but could not swear it. The No. 11 was then on it. It was opened at Bow-street, and cannot swear that the seal appeared as if it hail been touched. When it was opened the three sovereigns were in it, but the piece of silver paper was gone; it bad been taken out. Cross•examined by Mr. STAUNNERS, who defended the prisoner—The sovereigns were found in the letter at Bow-street. Cannot tell whether they were the same as witness inclosed in the letter at Brighton. There is now the appearance of a pin hole on the litter. Witness was in a great hurry when she sealed the letter, but thinks she pinned the silver paper containing the sovereigns to the letter. The letter was sealed with the impression of a seal cut with a plough on it, and witness had no doubt that the impression of the seal now on the letter is the identical impression she made at Brighton. The motto " Speed the" are on the seal, with the plough underneath. Witness has no doubt she used black wax, as she was in mourning at the time. To th• best of witness's recollec tion, she only put one figure 1 to the address of the letter. Charles Court examined by Mr. Anourians—Was footman with Lady Winterton at Brighton, and received horn her Ladyship the letter to give to the coachman to put into the Post Office. Witness gave it to him in the same condition that he received it. Her Ladyship said to witness it was a tra.tney letter. It was addressed to Miss Louisa Cowles, I, Manchester-street, London. Cross-examined by Mr.STAUNNYRS—Was not examined at the Police-office. George Teale examined by Mr. SHEPHERD—Was coachman on the 2241 of October to Lady Winterton, and received the letter from the last witness on that day, which witne.s put into the Poet. office at Brighton between seven and eight o'clock in the evening. WitneFs identified the lever, hut proved the alteration in the number to which it was addressed. The letter contained money. In his cross-examination nothing material was elicited. W. Graves proved that he was a clerk in the General Post Office, and that money letters on arriving are, by the custom of the office, entered in a book. Oa the 23d October, witness finds an entry, in his own hand writing, of a letter from Brighton, addressed ‘' Miss Cowles, 1, M.tochester-street. 'Witness makes out a receipt for the . _ letter carrier to get signed by the person to whom the letter is directed, and those receipts are sorted as letters, and distributed amongst the carriers, and witness gives the letter when the carrier produces such a receipt to witness, and the carrier signs the book in which the entry is made. Tar prisoner has •iened the book for the letter in question. Cro , s-ex twin , dhy Mr. STA N N rakes are some times mime even in the Post Office. Letters are entered in a very ba,ty manner, as witness may have from 50 to 150 letters to enter in an hour and a half. On the morning in question witness entered 75 letters. Miss Louisa Cowles, examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS...-. In Oct. 22, lived with my mother at No. 1, Manchester stre,t, Manchester-square, and expected a remittance of 31. from Lady Winterton at Brighton Did not receive any letter from her Ladyship on the 23d October, nor the money. Cross-examined by Mr. STAUNNER.S.-Dr , es not know for what purpose the remittance was to come. It was not for a debt due to me from Lady Winterton, nor was it a present. It was sect to me on Lady Winterton's brother's account, and if I bad got it I should have done with it what I chose. Mr. ADOLPHUS objected to the course of cross-exami nation, as it would open facts quite dehors to the present inquiry. Mr STA UNN ERS contended that he had a right to pur sue that course in order to show in whom the property was vested, in order to see if the counts of the indictment were supported. In answer to the Court the witness said she should have kept the money, had she recovered it, to lay it out as she pleased. By Mr. STAUNNERS-The money would have been a present from Lady Winterton's brother to me. Never went by any other name than Louisa G-orgiana Cowles. Mrs. El zabeth Co ales examined by Mr. AnoLruus.-- Is tnather of the last witness, who lived with her in October last. On the 22d of October expected a remit tance from Lady Winterton, but never received it. Wit ness spoke to the prisoner on the subject on the 31st of October. Witness asked him if he had a letter addressed to Mr. Cowles, No. 1, Manchester-street. He said no, he did not know a lady lived there of that name. He did not tell me he had a letter of that name directed to No. 11, in that street; but he said he would do all in his power to inquire about it and let me know the following morning. Saw him next day ; he said to witness at the door end he was very much affected, " I am very uneasy about your letter; I have signed for your letter, and must have had it ; and I have either mislaid i►, or given it to Mr. Hart by mistake. Mr. H ,rt is a gentian in living in the same house with witnessawho is in the habit of receiving a great many letters in a morning. Witness observed that Mr. Hart was then out of town, and asked if he had got the letter. The prisoner said he hail not, but by possi bility it might, by mistake, have been given to him. Witness told him he had written to the General Post office, on the subject, and prisoner said that he was sorry that witness had done so. He requested witness to write to Mr. Pritchar t at the office, saying that no blame attached to him, the prisoner, and he would then look for the letter. He promised to call again the following morning, when he came his rounds with the letters. II said he would rather make up the money thad lose his situation. He then went away. He called next day, but did not see him until witness WiDt to the General Post-office to complain. Witness had waited tilt eleven o'clock in the moaning, and it teas after that hour the prisoner called at witness's house. The pr saner was brought before the w toe-s at the Post-office, and pulled the letter out of his pocket immediately, and gave it to Mr. Peacock, the solicitor to the Post-office. He was examined by Mr. Peacock, and the prisoner said he had kept the letter so long because he did not know he bad it. He said he had offered it at Nu. 11 to a telltale, and that it was refused there. Cross-examined by Mr. STA [ INNERS-Never inquired for her dau g hter's letter from the prisoner.

After they left the public-house they were met by Cooper, and they walked together. At length they robbed him, and ran away. A sergeant of police, division D, No. 6, proved that he apprehended the prisoners at a public.house, distant half a mile from the place where the robbery was committed. They were very violent, and he had b en confined five days in consequence of blows anti kicks which were in flicted by the prisoners. The property stolen was found in their possession. The prisoners made no defence. Mr. Sergeant ARABIN summed up the evidence, and the jury returned a verdict of Guilty. t Beeston bring a known man, the COURT told them tha they would he transported.

CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK. The French mail has arrived, but as yet the express from Paris has not been published, therefore we conclude that nothing of importance has been received from Spain. We h ave an arr iv a l from New York this motnine by the London line of packet ship, Thomas, Captain Gres wold. Papers not as yet come to hand. A report prevailed last night that the Confiance steamer had arrived at Falmouth with accounts trim Lisbon, saying that Don Miguel's guerillas were within six tniles of Lisbon. Up to the present time we have no confirmation of the abov- arrival. THE FUNDS. To the present time we have no arrivals of consequence. Consols opened at the price they left off, 88i for the Account, nothing doing. New York Papers to the 10th of November have been received at the North and South American Coffee House. Their contents are unimportant. They contain accounts from Vein Cruz to the 29 h of September, and from Mexico to the 21st of September ; but by the Mexican packet, which arrived the day before yesterday, we have 13 days' later information from the above quarter. HALF-PAST ONE. Nthough the accounts from Vera Cruz arid Mexico in the Americ in papers received this morning, are not of so late a date as by the Mexican packet, still a part of them are of some interest. They state that by an official communication front General Victoria, the Military Commander at Puebla, to the Minister of War, be announces that an engagement had taken place at Safi relto, in which the rebels, wishing to intercept a convoy going to the army of the President were completely defeated, In consequence of:this victory the whole country between Queretaro and Mexico has been restored to tran quillity. In the south, Alvarez was marching towards Chilaria with 600 men. An insignificant plot to form a conspiracy had been aiscovered in Mexico; the conspirators were arrested. A letter from the American Consul at Vera Cruz, dated September 29, states that the Governor of the State of Vera Cruz had directed the admission of foreign corn to enter at that port until the end of the year. New Brunswick papers have been received at the North and Soath American C flee-house ; they do not contain any information of consequence. We have no fresh arrivals up to the present hour. Great agitation prevails among-t the Portuguese mer chants respecting the rescinding, by the Regency Govern • talent of Portugal, the decree making dollars and sovereigns a legal tender. It has also caused at Lisbon much dis cont-•nt, and if not soon minded will make that Govern ment vary unpopular. . . Con , ols have been, during the whole of the morning, at 88k, al'ernately buyers and sellers, with little doing. In the Foreign AI aket there is scarcely any business.

' 6 EVERY BULLET HAS ITS BILLET."— The family of the late Colonel Vassal of the 38th Regi ment have adopted this phrase among their mottos. In the attack on Monte Video in 1607, where be commanded that Regiment, they missed the breach on their approach. The grape and musketry were so hot that it drove the men into conlusion, and would have made numbers of them retreat, but for his exertions. When be observed any of the men stoop or flinch, be cried out as loud as possible— " Brave 38th, my brave men, don't flinch ; every bullet has its billet. Push on, follow me, thirty eighth !" He rallied them repeatedly i❑ this manner until he got them inside the bre ich. He was advancing to the main ba•tery, when a grape shot broke his leg ; and as soon as he fell lie cried out—" Push on, somebody will take me up, my good soldiers, charge them, never mind me ; it's or.ly the loss of a leg in the service." He sat up and helped to tie on a ban !kerchief to stop the blood, and cried out all the time of the action, " I care not for my leg, if my It gi ment do their duty, as I hope they will." As soon as the town surrendered be heard the men cheer; he joined them with as great spirits as if nothing had happened, and oiled out to be c.rried to the head of his regiment. H died in th•ee days a'ter. THE SHAWL MANUFACTURE.--There are now not less than 50,000 arrisans enraged throughout Scotland in the manutacture of shawls from Cashmere, or the Thibet coat.

SNUFFING.—A gentleman, the other day, in a shop at Kensington, on taking a pinch of snuff, po litely offered his box to a pretty-looking servant maid, who was also making purchases.

LITERATURE. : ROMANCE OF HISTORY. 3 Vois• LONDON, 1533. The idea of this work found much favour with the public at the time of its first appear' ance, and its republication in a revised and cheap form, and with the addition of several pertinent embellishments, bids fair to meet with equal popularity. The present is the first of the new series, and consists of " England, 1 # Henry Neele,"—a young writer, gifted with more than ordinary powers of feeling and unit' gination, who died the other day too soon fot his fame. His tales have been generally con' sidered superior to those of his successors in the work, and the public will doubtless rejoice at this opportunity of renewing an acquaintance with them. NATURAL HISTORY OF PARROTS• EDINBURGH, 1833. This is the first volume of the Miscellany of Natural History, and is solely confined to the Parrot tribe. It abounds in matters of interest, fume of which, illustrative of the physical pea!! liarities of this most singular of birds, we may at some future leisure day be tempted to extract- The work is handsomely got up, is reasonable in price, and full of clever embellishments from the pencil of Kidd. A brief memoir of Audabonf the well-known naturalist, is prefixed by way 01 introduction to the volume, accompanied by ° portrait of that gentleman, who, by the bye, i 9 made to look very much like a lunatic.

VIENNA, Nov. 18.—The Constitutionnel of this month contains the following article from the Gazette de Franc e. (The article announces the signing of the act of the 10 10 Confederation, of which the Emperor of Austria is to" the head ; states the number of troops to he furnished , each of the Princes, &c.)

We can assure the i t s stitutionnel that it is mistaken in allowing the Ga ze t ( i de France to be well informed. The article VI, from the Gazette does not contain one word of fro he and equally groundless are the remarks which t Constitutionnel adds to it.
