BRUSSELS PAPERS. - - BRUSSELS, Nov. 20.—The Independant announces that the Government is preparing a project of law on the stamp duties, in which the tsx on foreign newspapers is abolished. We are assured that the French Ministry has nomi nated the Members of the Mixed Commission that is to examine the commercial questions that are to be discussed between Be'gium and France. There are Lye Members, the Duke de Broglie, Minister for Foreign Affairs ; M. Pliers, Minister of Commerce; M. Vincent, Chief Clerk in the Department of Commerce; M. Gretterin, Director of the CUII.OMR ; and M. David, Secretary General to the Chief Bo ird of Commerce. Colonel Willmar returned to Brussels last night. BaussxLs, Nov. 21.—The convention relative to the communications between the fortress of Maestricht and Holland WAS signed at Zondhoven, on the 16th of Nov., by the Befrisn and Dutch Commissioners ; the ratifies tions are to be exchanged by the 26th Nov. The day before yesterday one franc pieces with the effigy of King Leopold, were, for the first time, put into circulation. BR.USSELC Nov. 22.—The Central Section has not yet named its reporter on the budget of the Ways and Means. It is thought that the debate on the Budget will commence on Tuesday. Five manufacturets at Lookeren wrote to the Messager de Gaud that they cannot preserve silence on the crisis which threatens their establishments ; that it is absolutely necessary 'hat markets he found for their goods, otherwise they shall be obliged to leave off working. The Courtier cannot see what change has taken place in the situation of the cotton manufactories (which flourished in 1831 and 1932), to make them fear com plete ruin in 1833. - The demand for coals for the interior and for France is as great at this moment, that the supply is quite unequal to it. The miners do ten days' work in the week, and yet this is insufficient. It seems absolutely necessary that the Government should bring forward a law relative to the mines.

Early in the course of next week the Captain expects to open the campaign, and, with a feeling highly creditable to him, has offered that the irst evening's performance should be for the benefit of Mr. Archer and the other members of the English company from Paris, who lately performed here.—Hamburg Re. porter, Nov. 19. GERMAN PAPERS. VIENNA, Nov. B.—Great hopes are entertained of the success of the proposed navigation of the Danube by steam-boats, since, by the examination that bas been made, it seems that the river presents no obstacles below Belgrade. Count Stephen Szecheoyi, author of a work on Hungary, has the merit of conceiving the plan of steam-boats between Pesth and Constantinople. BERLIN, Nov. 13.—We learn from good authority that Marshal Maison, who is shortly expected here, on his way Cu Z . Su. zi• A n in the most friendly manner at our Court. Our Collection of the Laws contains a very humane Ordinance, by which the captains of Prussian ships are bound to afford immediate assistance and reception on board their vessels to shipwrecked Prussian seamen ; for their expenses in doing which they will be indemnified by the Government. ST. PETERSBURGH, Nov. 6.—ln consideration of the I mg services of Vice-Admiral Greig, and his bad state of health, and to alleviate as much as possible the duties of his office, and yet at the same time to let the State enjoy the benefit of his great experience and extensive knowledge of maritime affairs, his Majesty has appointed him Member of the Council of the Empire, and given to the Vice- Admiral Lazareff, till further orders, the chief direction of the fleet and the ports of the Black Sea. Admiral Greig, on setting out for the capital, was directed by an Imperial Rescript to give up his office as Governor of Xicolajeff to Vice-Admiral Lazareff, and that of Military Governor of Sebastopol to Vice-Admiral Pantaniotti. Admiral Greig bas arrived here. SMYRNA, OCT. 12.—During the campaign in Syria a Turkish regiment in the pty of the Pacha, which was in garrison at Alecca, mutinied. It was defeated by the Egyptian troops, and, having lost some hundred men, retreated to Djedda, under the command of Turkiben Mdll, formerly a slave of the Pacha's. Being unable to keep their pound there, they seized the Pacha's ships and the money in the public coffers, proceeded down the Red Sea, and occupied Mocha and some of the towns belonging to the Itnan of Senna, a weak man, whose Governors in the districts treated the people with great rigour, who were therefore the more easy under their new master, as Turkiben 'Alas maintains the strictest discipline, and will not suffer their lives or property to be touched. The Egyptian troops now in Arabia are unable to over• come the Turks, and, having received no pay for a year,they are notinclined to fight for the Pacha, but have shot Ismael Bey, an Arabian Colonel, the man who drove the Turks from Mecca, because he could not r ay their arreafs. The Pacha is fitting out an expedition to take pos session of the towns on the coast. The Turks are about 2,000 in number ; and if it be true that they are on bad terms with the Wahabees, who have assembled again in their capital, Dreiab, which was destroyed by Ibrahim Pacha, they must be soon overpowered. The Pacha of Egypt is much hated in Arabia ;ince the cruelties com mitted by his troops in 1910 in the war with the Waha bees. But no union among the Arabian tribes is to be thought of. The Pacha, as on former occasions, will obtain the aid of some tribes by money, and so secure the subsistence of his army. If he sends a pretty numerous corps he will, doubtless, take Mocha, which he has long coveted. VIENNA, Nov. 15.—Five per Cent.

FRENCH PAPERS. (From Galignunis Messenger of Saturday.) The evening Ministerial Journal has the following : A telegraphic despatch from Bayonne, dated the 19th instant, announces that intelligence had just been rece iv e d o f an important advantage gained over the rebels by ' General Staisfield. The General, it is stated had quitted Borgos on the 11th, marc hing upon Vittoria with a con siderable body of troops. At Belor.ido he met the insur gents under the command of Merino, and routed them after a warm combat. On the 14th he was at Pancorbo. The insurgents left a great number of kill e d u p on t h e fi e ld of battle, and 600 were made prisoners . It i s asserte d that Merino retired to Miranda with 4,000 men of his bad troops. We hope that the nest despatches will bring a confirmation of this intelligence. That of which we have given the purport was sent to Bordeaut by . telegra . pb ; but the bad weather prevented its reaching Paris by this means, and therefore it was sent forward by the mail. Government has also received accounts from Corunna up to the 16th. Galicia has not been disturbed since the dea th of the King. On the 15th all was quiet at Bsrceions, and on the lath at Gerona." The following is from a lop plea:lent to the Indicaleur of Bordeaux of the 20th :•—• • General Saartteld ; after having chased Merino fug Feye \N. ral days, came np with him at Belorado, having brought him to an action, took between 700 a 00 pri soners, killed a great number, and drove him to take refuge in the province of Alsva. General Saarsfield then directed his march towards Vittoria, and on the 15th was at Pan corbo." Extract of a letter of the 16th inst. from Perpignan : —" I have been along the whole line of our army of ob servation from Bayonne to this place. Throughout, I found the soldiers quartered with the citizens and farmers. I had much conversition with the officers, and more with the soldiers. They all displayed that admirable union of discipline and bravery, alacrity and docility, ardour and patience, which characterizes the French army. They were all, men and officers, burning with impatience to enter Spain once more, and nothing can be more amusing than to hear the men enjoying the idea of hunting the monks, persuaded that they will have nothing else to do. The officers are equally impatient to enter the peninsula, in order that they may win their promotions, which are so long coming while in garrison, and they are inquiring what they are to do if they really cross the frontier. Those who made the campaign in 1823, under the pacific conqueror of the Trocadero, are almost afraid of having the same sort of duty; not that France of July can ever enter Spain, or any other country, as the champion of monks and absolu tism ; but they fear being made the means of supporting a Ministry detested by Spain, and the mediators between two parties, while their inc'inations lean towards one of them, and from the other. At Perpignan, the activity of Gene ral Castellane Ls infused the same spirit into the whole of his division ; and though nothing is expected on this side of the Pyrenees, the troops are prepared for whatever may happen. The citadel is well armed and stored, and in the best state of defence. In general the selection of commanders in chief is worthy of approbation. General Harispe, who has the command at Bayonne, is a native of the department, and his conduct on several occasions during the war of the Pyrenees is remembered with admiration. General Castellane, who commanded at Barce lona and Cadiz from 1823 to 1827, is well acquainted with Spain, and the language and character of the inhabitants. The officers of the staff of each division are also acquainted with Spain and the language. In short, every thing is prepared for the intervention, should it become necessary. I have but one wish to add, and that is, that it may not become necessary, in order that the Minister of War may not subject himself to reproach for not making the army of observation more numerous. The division of the Basses Pyrenees does not exceed 8,000 or 9,000 men, and that of the Pyrenees Orientales 12,000, making together not more than 20,000, when 40,000 are wanting. However weak the army may be for an actual intervention, there can be no doubt of its having already bad an imposing effect upon the Spanish Carlists, particu larly on this side. Without the glitter of French biyonets o❑ the frontier, there would have been undoubtedly some movements made by them in Catalonia, notwithstanding the firmness of General Llander. The passports delivered by the Carlists are signed by a monk, in the name of Charles V., King of Spain, with the date of Anno primero de la Christiandad—a compliment by no means flattering to Jesus Christ, however much it may be so to Don Carlos, who is thus made a Messiah." A letter of the 20th instant from Bordeaux says— " An English courier, who left M,di id on the night of the 13th, passed through Bordeaux yesterday. The Queen is redoubling her activity. In order to avert the storm that lowers over the beads of her councillors Zea and Cruz, she rides on horseback through the several quarters of the capital, receiving with affability all the petitions pre sented to her by the people. Lately, when passing along the Prado, she stopped a monk, and entreated him to use his influence for preserving the peace of his country. De• creel are expected to appear shortly for the organization of the National Guard, and for the formation of two Chambers—measures which were decided upon by the Council on the 10th instant. We learn from Bayonne, under the date of the 17th, that three Spanish constitu tional officers had arrived in that town, commissioned to raise recruits in France. A great many of the Basques have already volunteered. The depot for these new troop is at St. Sebastian." The Indicateur of Bordeaux of the 21st inst., which has reached us by express, contains the following :—" Our correspondents at St. Jean de Luz and Behobia inform us that an experienced colonel of the old French army, who is at present an officer d'ordonnance to Marshal Soult, has been visiting all the posts along the line of Bidasso. Since hie arrival on the frontier a sentinel has been placed on the centre of the bridge at Irun, to repel by force any at tempt of the insurgents to set fire to the bridge, which they have already several times endeavoured to effect." . 055 a ;Ott/ li - Jfn Bayonne, tliteii 19th, giving the following particulars o: the sortie made by El Pastor against Hernani, which we announced in the Messenger of Thursday, after a telegraphic despatch : " General Caatagnon, after having been repeatedly urged, at length determined to order a sortie to be made upon Hernani. In consequence, El Pastor, at the head of 450 men, left St. Sebastian on the morning of the day before yesterday, and attacked the rebels, who fell back upon Tolosa, and after an action which lasted two hours and a half. Ten of the insurgents were killed, and El Pastor returned to St. Sebastian with eighteen prisoners. We are assured that Itourriaga, a secondary chief of the Carlists who rose in Guipuzcoa, was killed in the combat. The 100 rebels who occupied Irun returned at the moment of this attack, either to go and join those of Hernani, or to proceed upon Toloso, and thence upon Vittoria." The Bayonne letter adds—" Notwithstanding all that has been said upon Erazo, it was only two days ago that he entered Irun, accompanied by twelve men, among whom was the Mayor of Vera. The new forced contribution, called for at Bilbot, amounts to only 4,000,000 reals, or 40,000/. Two field pieces. eight pounders, were sent off yesterd ,y morning for Beh,,bia. The Spanish mails come regularly twice a week by Arragon, aff,rding a positive proof that the road from Saragossa to Madrid and Oleron is free. We are assured that large ready money orders have been received here for equipments for the Carlists." The Augsburg Gazette of the 19th instant has the following of the 14th from Vienna:—" The exchange of . _ couriers between this city, St. Petersburgh, Berlin, Paris, and London, is at this moment very frequent, and the diplomatic offices are observed to be unusually occupied. Questions of the highest importance are in treaty. Spanish affairs remain at precisely the same point as they were a fortnight ago. The triumph of the new Government is no way decided upon, and as to the recognition of it by our Cabinet, or by that of Berlin and St. Petersburgh, no decision is yet expected. The Spanish Ambassador at our Court, M. de Campuzano, therefore, bus not been able to present his credentials, although he received them a fortnight ago. The melancholy affair in Erlau has had a more favourable termination than we imagined at first it would have bad. The accounts from Spain gave touch uneasiness on 'Change to-day : the funds are-111etalliques, 5 per Cents., 93 7-16 ; ditto, 4 per Cents., 824 ; Bank Actions, 1,199 i." The Gazette has also the f.d. lowing from Constantinople, dated the 25th ult. :—" Ac cording to the last intelligence received from Scutari (of the 4th), the disturbances that had broke❑ out there have not yet been put down, and all the efforts of the Envoy from the Porte, Tapar Bey, to reconcile the inhabitants to the Governor, have been fruitless. The Porte has re. moved the Governor, and appointed to the vacant place Hafiz Bey, Colonel of the Grand Seignor's cavalry, with the rank of Pacha. The Governor of Delvino and Val- lona, in whose States disturbances have broken out, has been suspended by Alahinud Haindi Pacha. An event which has created much anxiety here is the rebellion of a certain cadi, Ciran, in the neighbourhood of Angora—this ex commander of irregular cavalry had assembled from 5,000 to 6,000 men, with whom he proposed making head against the authorities of the Sultan. It is the in- tentionof the Porte to send two brigade•, with 15 field pieces, under the command of the Pachas Namik and Ilekir, to put down the rebels. According to news from Aleppo to the 16th of September, Ibrahim Paella wag occupied in purifying the atmosph,re in the environs of that city, employing upwards of one thousand men Ln draining the rr lands. The inhabitants of Mount Lebanon and of the district of ISLiplus have refused to lay dow❑ their arms, opposing force to the Egyptian cavalry sent out against them. Tur escape of Se lim B , y, one of Ibrahim's best generals, had created a powerful sensation in Smyrna. Selim was taken to Constantinople in the beginning of October, with several officers belonging to Ibrahim's suite. By news from Candia, it seems that the insurgents continue as sembled at Morniez although the Seraskier has several times summoned them to disperse. On the 28th of Sep tember, the Egyptian squadro❑ arrived from Alexandria, under the command of Ostnan Pacha. As soon as this Admiral had landed his men, he stormed a village, and drove the rebels from it. According to report, 5,000 or 6,000 regular troops will he sent to strengthen the Egyptian garrison in Candia ; the number of the,e troupe will then be from 12,000 to 14,000 men. Differences have now arisen relative to the payment of th e tribute due from Mehemed Ali to the Porte. An agent is on his way to Constantinople to receive the Sultan's commands on this head." The Gazette has also the following extract of a letter from the frontiers of Servia, dated the 9th :—" New arrests have taken place i n Constantinople, it is said, owing to the discovery of another political conspiracy. The followers and sup porters of Jbrahim Pasha appear td be etili-at.work, and /• _ not yet to have given up the hope of placing Mtn on the Sultan's throne; they once before contemplated a similar honour in favour of MehemetlAli, but owing to recent events he is somewhat fallen in credit; his son has there fore risen in opinion, and is looked upon as the man who can bring back the old state of affairs, and correct the nu merous abuses of the Janissary government. These per sons appear only to have forgotten one point —namely, that Ibrahim is a man of immoderate ambition, that he has hitherto gratified this passion by a well-discipline I army, and that he will not very readily consent to give up so powerful an instrument to he de pendant on the favour of Janissaries or Ulemas. We should be deceived by supposing that Ibrahim was satisfied with his present success, and had given up the hope of approaching nearer to the capital : this is still his fixed idea. By all we can learn from those who are well informed on the subject, and who have been eye witnesses of the acts of th e E gypt i an ar my in the newly acquired provinces, we are convinced be is only waiting for a favourable opportunity to redeem the time he is now losing. This may be nearer than is supposed ; Mehemet Ali's death might create a powerful sensation throughout Europe. The Sulta n b es t ows li tt l e attention on the evil intentions of his vassals. One thing is certain,— that, under the government of an Ibrahim, one voice will rule alone, and every Janissary reminiscence will he pus rushed with the bow-string; nevertheless, the conqueror is the idol of Koniali, the man on whom the adherents of the old state of things have their eyes fixed." MR. HILL AND THE IRISH MEMBERS The Spectator of yesterday, alluding to Mr. Hill'sfra cas with the Irish Members, observes—" When the report of what had passed at Hull reached Ireland, the Members who spoke and voted against the Coercion Bill fumed and protested, as it was but seemly they should. Mr. Hill's speech was delivered on the 29th of October; and on the 13th November the spirit moved a Mr. Jackson, of Hull, to write a letter upon the subject of this story to Mr. O'Connell. The Agitator, seeing at once that good use might be made of the thing, fortipkith indite, an epistle to the Radicals of Hull ; denouncing Mr. Hill, in language which gentlemen never we to each other, and which it is fair to believe even Me. O'Connell would be slow to employ, unless he bad ' a vow in heaven,' the force of which frees him from those restraints which bind other public men of his rank in society. Here we may just observe in passing, that addresses of this description, proceeding from so powerful and unscrupulous a writer as O'Connell, may turn out to be tremendous instruments of annoyance to the members of English constituencies of a Radical leaning. " O'Connell's letter to the Hull Radicals, contains a most palpable and unpardonable blunder. His corre spondent, Jackson, whose letter he prints, informs him that Mr. Hill declared in bis Speech, that he approved of the general principle' of the Coercion Bill. But what is Mr. O'Connell's comment upon this ? Here it is : " Now, I have to observe, that if Mr. Hill spoke the speech attributed to him by this Mr. Jackson, or by the newspapers, he asserted what was, in itself, totally false. " ' In the first place, it is totally fuse that Mr. Hill opposed the principle of the Bill. On the contrary, ac cording to my recollection, he supported the principle of that atrocious Bill throughout. Upon the clause fur taking away Trial by Jury, and substituting Courtsmar till, he did not speak. I will not affirm positively that he did not vat , in the minority of 130—for there were in the Reformed Parliament only 130 for preserving the by Jury ! But if he did vote in that minority, it was the only symptom of constitutional principle which he ex hibited on that occasion.' " Who ever said that Mr. Hill opposed the principle of the Coercion Bill ?—Not O'Connell's correspondent, for he declares the precise contrary. Where is the pretence, then, for this unmannerly lie-giving? Mr. O'Conneli has lately, we learn from the papers, been astonishing the natives by feats of hunting in the mountains ; his intellects must have been grievously obscured, one would think, by the mountain dew,' when he made such a stumble as this. "Mr. O'Connell has made the discovery that Mr. Hill's name is not in the list of those who voted against the courtmartial clause, and the discovery is announced in the following postscript to his letter " 'P. S. Since I sent the above letter to the press, I have found the list of the :ninority that voted against the courtmartirl clause, and Mr. Hill's name is not in that list! What, then, becomes of another of that man's assertions?' " This blunder is as unpardonable as the other. Where did Mr. O'Connell learn that Mr. Hill pretended to have voted against the courtmartial clause? Mr. Bill himsclS distinctly stated that he was absent on the circuit, and took no part in the Buil; although he declared his strong disapprobation of the courtmartial clause, and would have voted against it, had he been present. " There are clauses in that hill, eooner than have voted for which I would have laid down my head upon the block, and have lust my life—sooner than so flagrantly have violated every principle of justice. I would nut have pot the people in the power of courtsmartial, but I would have intrusted the Government with great powers.' " This is Mr. Hiil's statement ; and the account of Mr. O'Connell's correspondent does not contradict it. Yet, upon his own blunder, and upon his pretended `recollec tion that he supported the principle of the atrocious Bill throughout,' does Mr. O'Connell found an insinuation that the Member for Hull had publicly declared what was false ! The impudence of this man is matchless. " Now we come to the story of the Traitor.' Mr. O'Connell says— " 'ln the next place, as to his tale of an Irish Member voting against the bill publicly, and in private urging the Ministry to pass it without bating any parts of its pro visions,' I am bound to say that I believe the story to he false in all its parts. " I arraign Mr. Hill before you as a calumniator. I accuse him of having fabricated this story as an excuse for having voted to annihilate every constitutional principle by the Coercion Bill.' " • • • • • " We intimated that Mr. O'Connell had probably ex cellent reasons for making so much ado about this story. His zeal to unmask this particular traitor may not entirely proceed from a jealous regard to the character of the Irish constituency. Mr. Hill pointed at only ONE Mem ber: has it escaped Mr. O'Connell's vigilance, that, three or four weeks before, Mr. Pease, the Member for South Durham, pointed at SEVERAL? Such at least is the fact, if in the following extract the Durham 4drertiser of October the 4th—twenty-five days before Mr. Hill's ap. pearance among his constituents at Hull—speaks the truth :-- It will be in the recollection of our readers, that Mr. Pease, in supporting the Bill for the Suppres.ion of Disturbances in Ireland, alleged as his reason, that his primary duty was to support the King and the King's Ministers.' This declaration gave great offence at the time to the Hon. Member's Ultra-Radical supporters; and since his arrival in the North, he has been remonstrated with for voting as he did on that measure. To these remon strances, we have been told, Mr. Pease replied, that he was requested to vote as he did by seven! Irish Mem bers, who wished but durst not vote for it themselves !' " This, we repeat, was published twenty-five days before the meeting of the Hull constituency. Now if Mr. Pease he correctly reported, and if he spoke the truth, he is several' times more liable to the wrath of the Agitator and his supporters than Mr. Hill. W e recommend them to attack Mr. Pease on this subject, and see whether he will not give up the names of the several traitors."' SUDDEN DEATH OF A GENTLEMAN.--- The parochial authorities of St. Eeorge's, Hanover. square, have been engaged in investigating the circum stances attending the death of a married gentleman of fortune, bolding the rank of General in the English army. It appears that several days ago the gentleman entered a well-known house near Bond -street, in the company of a respecahly dressed fem a l e , a b out 24 years of age. After remaining in one of the apartments for some time the lady left the house by herself, and in 20 minutes after the gentleman was found lying on the floor in a state of insensibility. An eminent surgeon, residing near Regent-street, was sent for, but he found that the unfortunate gentleman was dead. His address haring been ascertained by means of papers in his pockets, intel ligence of the melancholy event was transmitted to his wife and family. His lady soon afterwards drove up in her carriage to the house in question ; and, on being informed of ins infamous character, her feelings became ,o affected that she fainted, and she was conveyed home. The parish authorities, it is said, have traced suc h f acts as vill warr ant an application fur an inquest. lar as to i n d uce h i m to Th e completion of the " East Indi a Sk etc h f B O o r t o n k e ; is o snout es w t 0 0. m e a s k o e p i t ( s ) pu appearance.

BRIGHTON, Nov. 24. His Majesty and her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta beard divine service this morning in the Palace chapel : in the pew with his Majesty sat the Earl and Countess Browniow, and Lord and Lady Falkland ; and the suite in the pews adjoining.

Richard Bentley, New Builington-strert • • 1 LL _ . 4 • _ (.11111r •-• • ' COVENT•GARDEN THEATRE. A new farce from the practised pen of POCOCK wa brought out here on Saturday night. It is full of bustle incident, and variety, and u ith a little judicious curtail meat, here and there, bids fair to have a run. The plot is exceedingly humorous, and—a rare faculty among farce writers—has some pretensions to originality. Mr. T Singleton, aged about 50, lives in the neigh. hourbood of London; his much younger sister Emily (Miss TAYLOR) takinz care of his house affairs. She h a lover in a certain Captain Tinderly, a character played by Mr. Noon. As Mr. Theodore Singleton niatrirr.otat; usual consequences, and because he has written a ten volume quarto work against popula. tion, the love between Captain Tinderly and Emily is kept a profound secret from him ; and, instead of amorous inclination., they only display before him the most hostile spirit. Mr. Singleton has another inmate in his house in the person of a nephew, Edward (Waans), who, it appears, has been for some lime secretly flurried to Julia (Miss LEE), the ward of an old friend. The result, or as Mr. Singleton would call it, " the consequence," bas been a boy, who, at the opening of the farce, is some two months old. As Edward resides with and is depen dant upon his uncle, he is dreadfully afraid of his becom ing acquainted with the two facts of his marriage and of his fatherdom (if we may coin a word); but without his consent or privity, Julia takes the resolution of sending down to Mr. Singleton the " little cherub" in a basket, in order, principally, that it may be maintained and educated under the care of its parent.- She adopt- this course and carries it into execution before Edward can have time to prevent it ; and as the old book-making bachelor is expecting a large package of his productions by the coach 'min town, he opens a basket which is delivered at the window by a coach-cad, and is dismayed at discovering his nephew's work of population instead of his own work on that subject. He concludes, and his sister, Captain Tinderly, and Edward, aid in keeping up the notion, that it is a banding sent to him as an appeal to his charity. Mr. Singleton's vexation is not lessened by the interposition of an old village gossip who has been accus tomed to officiate for all the straw-strewn ladies in the parish, who hints darkly among her neighbours that the infant is the t ffspring of some member of the family. The first act ends with the complication of the mise-y of the old bachelor under his dilemma, a climax to which is afforded by the loud squalling of the child in an adjoining room. The second act is droller than the first, from the accumulation of old Singleton's distresses, arising out of die clandestine introduction of a child into his family. In this Mrs. Caudle (Mrs. Glans), the village gossip, and mother of Mr. Singleton's man-servant Tommy (MEADOWS), is mainly concerned, and Captain Tinderly and Emily become involved in the scandal connected with the " little cherub." In the first scene Edward manages to introduce his wife Julia into the family, palming her off upon his uncle as a wet-nurse of excellent capabilities. At this juncture Mrs. Caudle has alarmed the whole vicinage by her reports regarding old Mr. Singleton, young Mr. Singleton, Miss Emily and the Captain, and for some time it is thought tbat Miss Emily, is the mother of the unclaimed bantling. By degrees, however, the whole evidence points itself at the old bachelor, who is supposed to have committed a little faux pus, which he is anxious to conceal by disowning, while he maintains the child. At length he finds a note, dropped by accident,and written by Edward to Julia, telling her that he will visit her at the lodge at a certain hour, and he at once believes that the child is the offspring of his nephew's intercourse with the wet nurse. He posts to the lodge, whither Edward had gone before him ; but he misses him, and is himself on the point of being detected by Airs. Caudle, at midnight, in the company of a suspicious female, when he hides himself in a cupboard, and finally endeavours to make his escape in woman's clothes. He is detected, throws off his gown, but forgets to get rid of his cap, and runs about the stage in an agony of dread and despair. All the parties enter, and in the conclusion, as a means of bringing the real parents to light, Air. Theodore Single.. ton declares that he will settle 5001. a year upon it. This determination immediately induces Edward and Julia to avow the fact that they are married, and that the child is theirs ; and we need not say that the old bachelor is de lighted at the opportunity of keeping his word as to the settlement. We ought to have mentioned that G. SMITH And BEDFORD are both brought into the farce, the one as a red-nosed village constable, and the other ax the coach cad, with a view to the discovery of the persons by whom the child was sent ; and though very short parts, they were by no means the worst in the farce. Th e characters of the farce were ably sustained, and the piece was received with great applause.

AN 125 62N LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVENII3ER 25, 1833. There is no tnith in the statement of two of our contemporaries, that orders were received last week at the French Embassy, to prepare for the immediate leturn of Prince TALLEY RAND. Some weeis ago such orders were received, but they have been since counter manded. Frankfort Papers to Coe 18th inst. arrived this morning. The only artcle of interest to an English reader which they contain is one from Stuttgard, stating that the plan of a treaty with Prussia on the system of Customs having been adopted by the Second Chamber, the tariff has been also agreed to. The question of the acces sion of Wirtemberg to the Prussian system, which is based on opposition to Biitish interests, is, therefore, decided in the afThmlive. The new commercial Union will embrace 20 millions of people. Nearly all the Cabinet Ministers go this week to Woburn Abbey, the seat of the Duke of BEDFORD, on a shooting party. On their return, a Cabinet Council will be held, at which several important subjects will be discussed. It is believed that among the questions for discus sion is the proposed repeal of the House and Window Taxes, respecting which Lord AL THORP is said to feel some difficulty, as the Agricultural interest,who are strong in the House of Commons, intend again to propose the abo _ lition of the Malt Tax, and even the reduction of the Land Tax. His Lordship, however, need fear nothing if he be firm in advocating the loudly declared wishes of the people. The Paris Papers of Saturday contain an extract from a Bordeaux paper, apparently au- thentic, announcing the defeat of the Curate MERINO by General SAARSFIELD, from which it would appear that SAARSFIELD attacked MERINO at Belorado, which stands between Burgos and Logrono. As Logrono was occupied by the detachment under the orders of Lorenzo, MERINO was prevented from falling back to wards Madrid after the battle with the troops of SAARSFIELD, in which lie is said to have lost several hundred men. SAARSFIELD, having secured his communication with the capital, will be able to act vigorously against the Bis cayans joined by MERINO. It is said in the last accounts from Bayonne that SAARSFIELD had advanced as far as Pancorbo on his road to Vittoria. The Bayonne accounts bring a con firmation of the successful sortie of the garrison of St. Sebastian under El PASTOR, who pro ceeded to Hernani and dispersed the rebels after an obstinate resistance. In consequence of this success the insurgents evacuated Ii un for the purpose of reinforcing their repulsed party near Tolosa and strengthening Vittoria. At Bilboa the rebels still maintain their authority, and were, at the date of the last accounts, enforcing a loan of about 40,0001. sterling. There are letters from Madrid of the 13th inst., at which time the capital wag tranquil ; the Liberals are evidently gaining ground, id ZEA and CRUZ becoming more unpopular' M. ZEA is said to be more uneasy at the pro' ceedings of the Captains-General in organizing a civic guard than at the progress of the Carlists. He cannot, however, prevent it with' out compromising the safety of the QUEEN, as the Captains-General of the provinces hold her fate in their hands. Should the Government succeed in putting down the Carlists, the firs t act of M. ZEA will be to attempt the disarms' ment of the civic guard ; but we trust he will be foiled, and that the armed citizens, when thel shall have put down the partisans of CARLost will insist upon the promulgation of a free CO stitution. The news of SAARSFIELD'S SUCCeSS had ' very favourable effect upon the French Funds We subjoin the quotation of Saturday. FRENCH FUNDS.—Paais, Nov. 23. Five per Cents., 102 f. 30c. 50c. 45c.

We perceive in a Brussels paper—the Indepen' dant—a paragraph announcing that the Belgian Government is preparing a project of law on the stamp duties, in which the tax on foreig 9 newspapers is abolished. This proceeding is very creditable to the Belgian Ministry, and is the more to be commended considering tho almost every article is taxed in Belgiu oll An exception in favour of the diffusion of political information was a boon !mai to have been expected from the Belgian Government as a precedent for other con n' tries to follow, although it might have been looked for if France and Great Britoil had set the example. We hope the Duke 01 RICHMOND, who has on so many occasions shown a great anxiety to meet the liberal spirit of the age, will not allow the Belgians to be solitary in this instance of liberality, and that h 8 will los e n o ti me i n open i ng a negot i at i on w i th the French Government for the abolition of the Post-office tax on the introduction of foreign papers, or at least for its reduction to such s moderate charge as would not prevent their or' culation. Many months hare elapsed since we 6 14 called the attention of the Duke of RICO' MOND to the enormous charge on foreign newspapers received in this country, an d pointed out to him the propriety of re ducing it, not only for the purpose 01 making the spread of political news more gene: ral, but of adding to our fund of literary and scientific information, most of the foreign pc" - odical papers containing articles of great in terest to science and literature. At present , only persons of good fortune can afford to rr ceive foreign papers in this country, in the regular course of post. A paper. which, by subscription, costs only twopence-halfpenny ° Paris, on its arrival in London is charged two shillings and fourpence ; and if put into th e Post-office in Paris, there i s a p os t age t h er e 01, more than two s hilli ngs , ma ki ng t h e e ntire charge more than four shillings and sixpence, 0r upwards of 801. per annum for a single pap er ' The expense of receiving an English newspap er in Paris by the post is, on account of its weigh t ' still greater than that on a French paper. 11 1 foreign post age must b e pa id h ere, i n t h e firs t instance, for the p a p er an d i ts cover , ma king s charge of two shillings and fourpence, and 1 : least three shilli ngs w ill b e c h arge d in Pr" making, with the cost of the paper in Lond ° ,l ll ; nearly six shillings p er d a y, or a h un d re d pont' per annum.

We have a notable 'se stance of this in some proceedings now i n coot of being pursued by Lord LONSDALE. pears from the statement of our Contemp o r s o the Carlisle Journal, received by this morni ll ° w ere post, that the proprietors of that paper • cdfcif prosecuted at the last assizes by crim i nal 1- s , mation, at the instance of L or d LoNsO ij o i for a libel published against him in his charac te o r p e a Governor of the St. Bees School Charity. o n of the defendants, and the only party, ifany, l : ll t o whom punishment ought to f a ll, was M r .
