Privy Council had a meeting this morning in Down ing-street. Those present were the MASTER of the ROLLS, Sir CHRISTOPHER ROBINSON, and Sir WM. FREEMANTLE. The cases which occupied the attention of their Lordships were those of "Jones v. Wright," remitted from Lower Canada, and " Bolton v. Burrows," from Demerara. A King's messenger arrived at the Foreign Office, last night, with despatches for Lord ABERDEEN, from Sir ROBERT GORDON, our Ambassador at Constantinople, and also from Lord COWLEY, at Vienna. The dullness of the Debate last night was re lieved by the peculiar rhetoric and brilliant oratory of Colonel WILSON, who delivered himself of one of those significant bursts of oratory which caused such universal astonish ment during the agitation of the Catholic Question., We have nothing to urge against the Gallant Colonel's logic ; it is as felicitous as his eloquence, and both are inimitable. The Bank Directors gave notice yesterday afternoon that they would receive applications for loans of money of not less than 2,0001. to be advanced on Exchequer Bills, India Bonds, and Bills of Exchange for a period of not less than ten days, nor extending beyond the 15th April. This is done in order to prevent any scarcity of money during the time that the heavy payments are made into the Exchequer; and from the cir cumstance of a similar measure having been adopted by the Directors in December last, it is believed they will adopt such every quarter while a necessity is imagined to exist for this assistance. It would appear by the following account of Algiers, that the forces of the King of FRANCE are likely to pay dearly for the honour which is so graciously promised by his MAJESTY to the French people. Algiers is strong by nature, and all the additions which art could invent , have been carefully supplied since the memo rable attack of Lord ExmouTtf. It is clear that without a considerable land force the place can n ever b e proper l y reduced by the French avy, if we their three may judge by the inefficiency of years' blockade. A firm settlement on that part of the coast of Africa would be of incalculable advantage to the French nation, both for naval and commercial purposes : " The city of Algiers is surrounded by a strong rampart *ell lined with and forms an imperfect square ; at the angle on the land artillery,side stands the citadel, which ia in good repair ; and at the angle on the left side (as seen , r cro sea) is situated the gate of B:Abajnu; the ro a d th a t fended to it r uns by the side of e beach, and is well de- 1 ?).. the batteries o n the coas th t ; between the first and ieoond angle ther e are some very fine fortifications lead n6' from the gate De Barba; at the third angle, which J°lal the mole, are the recently constructed fortifications, and which are the finest; between the second and third ti ?gies is the gate of the Fishermen, which runs down to e , B ea ; at th e third angle is the gate that leads to the „, c4 e; at the fourth angle is the gate of Barhiloner, and :lu . t f ar di s t ant is the fort of the same name; the road that ivirninates here also runs along the beach on the right siile, aud is defended by the batteries on the coast. v " The forts that defend the inner part near the sea are j2:inutnerons. The fort of the Emperor, and tl.e Star th e t r e ','"' also a fortified powder magazine, and a few theon " c ''''ed works, protect the road that leads to Algiers ter north side of the city. The other road is termiiia -41 by the sea batteries on the right side, by a fort that has n , Piee " of cannon, b y a pow d er magaz i ne and a powder anufactory, defended by five redoubts. atta z ek vet.expectingsince t h e Dey of Algiers has been expecting an n°•land, h e has lost no time in having the whore of " l cations pl ace d i n the best state of defence pos.. 1 d hay hail ma nu f ac t ure d a large quantity of 1 -w u"s balls, &v.

The final settlement of the limits and sove reignty of Greece is now so nearly accomplished, that the scholar, the politician, and the man of business, may alike begin to indulge in specula tions on the future destinies of that, in so many respects, interesting country. The term of her sorrows is, we trust, now over, and she presents herself to Great Britain in an attitude of acknow ledgment for such assistance as has been afforded her, and of confidence in future support in the event of further calamities. Whatever lack of enthusiasm may have been reproachable to the English during the Greek contest, we cannot believe they will now contemplate with indiffe rence the regeneration of the mother of Euro pean arts and arms, and we, therefore, refer with pleasure to a second article on Greece in the Foreign Quarterly Review, which before brought to light so many important particulars on this subject. The arbiters of the Greek destinies had ori ginally, as is well known, designed the boundary of the new State to be a line drawn from Arta to Volo, which would give it a portion of Thessaly, with the province of Acarnania ; but Mr. PEEL, in a late debate, for reasons upon which we then took the liberty of commenting, intimated that the limits were to be contracted, and it now ap pears that the northern line of demarcation is to be as follows :—viz. to commence on the north east at the Gulf of Zeitun, and to proceed north ward till it reaches the Vrachori on the course of the Achelous, and to follow the vale of that river till it falls into the sea north of the Gulf of Patras to the west of Missolonghi. The Turks are thus left in possession of the whole province of Acarnania, and an extensive range of country more northward, abounding with Greek people, and with classical recollections. That, besides the Peloponnesus, Attica, Bceotia, Phocis, and . Locris, and the Island of Eubcea, should have been rescued from the barbarians, is certainly a matter for rejoicing ; but such joy must be much diminished by the consideration alluded to, and also by the circumstance of Candia, together with the important and celebrated islands of Chios, Samos, and Rhodes, having, contrary to all principles, and all policy, been excluded from the arrangement. The inconvenience of this exclusion will, one day, make the Allies sensible of its impropriety, and then the force of Lord PALMERSTON,'S arguments will be felt when the mischief has happened. At present the new Greek State will contain a population of proba bly 700,000, a number not equal to the inhabit auts of the Highlands of Scotland, or the West Riding of Yorkshire,--but yet an adequate basis for a fabric of great national prosperity and power. The choice of the Sovereign having been made in the person of Prince LEOPOLD, and his acceptance of the Sovereignty being no a certain, it matters little to inquire into the nego tiations previous to his appointment. It is however worthy of remark that the Emperor of RUSSIA, whose designs have been subjected to so much unmerited obloquy, actually declined to interfere in the election, and gave his proxy to France, on account of the services rendered by the latter to Greece, in the advancement of mo• ney and the expedition to the Morea. The French Ministry, considering the jealoasy of England existing among the Liberals on the Continent, appears to have applied its double vote with not less generosity than discretion, and the selection of Prince LEOPOLD, though at tended with no such immediate advantages to Great Britain as might attach the imputation of sinister motives to the British Cabinet, is never theless likely to be highly beneficial in its effects upon the national improvement of Greece, in promoting an intercourse with the lonian Islands, and inspiring Englishmen with such confidence as may attract their capital and enterprise to the Greek shores. It does not seem that the wishes or opinions of the Greeks the:nselves have been at all con- stilted by the Allies, though it was expected in Greece that some reference would be made to the National Assembly before the appointment of their Sovereign. As, however, neither the merits of Prince LEOPOLD, nor of any other candidate, could be very well known or appreciated at Na poli di Romania, this neglect is probably of no particular importance, though, in ordinary cases, such a proceeding might savour some what of oppression. We heartily hope that neither CAPO D'ISTRI A, nor any of the tempo rary authorities, will be so injudicious as to at- ,empt to thwart the measures of the Allies and on the other hand that every effort of con ciliation will he made towards those authorities, and especially to CAPo DISTRIA, whose emi- neat services, and ardent zeal for his country, entitle him to her warmest gratitude, and whose continuance in the Councils of the new Sove- reign we should hail as a most auspicious event. ..__. . Whether the Allies have done what is best ror the interests of Greece in establishing a Mo .. narchical Government, instead of a federative Republic, is a question of not very easy solution. On the one hand a kingdom seems best calcu lated to consolidate the physical forces of the people, and on th e other,. there are existing di visions marked out by nature and ancient recol lections, .vhich seem well suited to the preservation both of free institutions and of those local associa tions which neither the scythe of time, nor the sword of the barbarian, has been able to cut oir om the spots which arc still endeared by the remem brance of the past. Yet the great point at pre- encouragement of agricultural speculation. By 'his no coffee, cotton, sugar, indigo, opium, or silk, of the growth or produce of Ceylon, are to contribute to Government ; and all these ar ticles may be exported duty free. Implements of agriculture may be imported duty free, and la bourers employed in the culture or manufacture of these are exempt from public service upon showing a certificate of such employment. sent is not the form of the Government, (for if POPE'S maxim cc w:late'er is best administered is best" is true at all, it must be so in such a country), but the civilization of the inhabitants iu detail, and their transformation from rude bandits into peaceful husbandmen and artisans. If King LEOPOLD can effect this, we shall not grudge him the Royal purple, or the inheritance of the sceptre Of AGAMEMNON. Illustrious, indeed, will he render his name if he associates it with the wra of the real renovation of the Greek people,--if he shall live to be saluted with such strains as, Tua, Caesar, Xtas Fruges et agris rettulit ulteres, • • • • • et vacuum duellis Janum Quirini clausit : et ordioem Rectum et vaganti froana licentire Injecit ; emovitque culpas, Et veteres revocavit artes!

Charleston Papers to tile 11th of February have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. They state that by a late decree of the Mexican Govern ment the salary of its Ministers to the United States is fixed at 8,000 dollars, and that of the Secretary 3,000 dollars; Ministers to Europe 15,000, Secretary 4,000. The Consuls to the United States have 1,500, and those in Europe from 1,500 to 3,000 ; Vice-Consuls have no salary. Except the Vice-Consulship no one can hold any diplomatic trust unless he be born a Mexican. DEPARTMENT OF STATE. WASHINGTON, JAN. 23.—Information has been com municated to the Department of State, that in consequence of a new disposition of the Government of his Majesty the Emperor of Russia, respecting the administration of the Russian Settlements on the Coast of America, it has been resolved to transfer the principal factory of the Russian American Company, now located in the Island of Stotla to that of Kirliale, and to close the port of New Arch ' angel, the present seat of that factory. THE YUNDS. The general report which prevailed yesterday, that Go vernment were going to give 1121. 10s. for 1001. Four per Cent. Consols, does not gain credit in the City, as the above plan would create too great a quantity of new stock. We have no arrivals this morning of the least importance, in consequence of which the Funds are rather languid at present, and Consols opened at the same price they left off yesterday, 92! for the account, and 92A- buyers for money, at which price they remain steady to the present hour. We have not a feature in the Foreign Market as yet worth noticing, and the priers are much the same as yesterday. UNDS. Si per Cent.

XX-PARTS BOUSPIELD IN TILE MATTER OF MORGAN, A BANKRUPT, This was a Bristol Commission. A London solicitor went down with affidavits from a very large class cf town creditors to prove their debts under it. Every Londttn proof that was offered was rejected. An application was made to this Court praying that the Court might, from this cause, be ordered to be superseded, that a new one might be directed to issue to London Commissioners, and that the rejected proofs might be ordered to be received. The LORD CHANCELLOR, in giving judgment this morning, stated that he had read the whole of the affi davits (which were very voluminous) through with great care and anxiety. He did not wish to be specific in de t.tilint, circumstanc es on thi s occas i on, but the London proofs ' appeared to him to have been rejected on the most frivolous grounds ; and regarding the whole of the cir cumstances, as stated in the affidavits, he did not consider that he could discharge his duty unless he superseded the Commission, and directed, as prayed, a new Commission to issue to London Commissioners, which he accordingly did. He would not however order the rejected prows to be received, but, on the contrary, that the Commissioners should sift and scrutinize them in the regular way. Mr. KNIGHT, on behalf of Mr. Wright, the assignee, applied for his costs to be paid out of the estate. The Loan CHANCELLOR considered his conduct irre proachable, and assented to his application.

Lord GEORGE BEItESFORD, in returning thanks for his election, declared himself and all his party to be complete and enthusiastic converts to emancipation. He hailed the measure as the greatest blessing that could have befallen the country. ORATORIO.—The performance commenced last night with a selection from HANDEL'S Sampson, in which PairmArs sang " Honour and Arms," in a mag nificent style, and Miss PATON executed " Let the bright Seraphim," with great brilliancy ; she was admirably ac comlaanied on the trumpet by HARPER, as was BENNETT in " Gentle Airs," by LINDLEY afterwards. Miss PATov was encored in " Savourneen deelish," which she sang beautifully. The same compliment was paid to PHILLIPS'S German thinking song. The following is a copy of a challenge sent last week by a knight of the steel (alias a butcher), living in the nei-2hbourhood of Oundle, to a brother chip residing in that town, who, it seems, had been making too free a use of his clapper :—" To Mr. S-----N. Sir, I feel myself agri ved at the illegal reports you have said about my beef—l therefore challenge you in combat at four o'clock this afternoon, at swords, pistols, or fistses..—Remaining, your's, Scc. J— 11—." On a late occasion, his MAJESTY asked Lord &most who was the soundest lawyer in his dominions— when the venerable peer replied, it was a gentleman who LITERATURE. " Etruscan History and Antiquities" displays marks of research on a subject on which little additional light, of any importance, can now be thrown. The details, however, are curious, and may serve to transport an antiquary, and wile away the leisure hours of a literati. " Wilson's Life and Times of Defoe" is overpraised, but justice is done to the memory of one of the most extra ordinary individuals that modern times have seen. Whether viewed as a politician, a po lemic, a romance-writer, or a man of general acquirements, Defoe stands high among the authors of the early part of the 18th century;, His " Robinson Crusoe" is the finest thing of the sort extant ; and his account of the plague abounds in passages worthy of Thucydides. Who can forget the solemn yet simple opening of Defoe's history, the best Rails of which Pro fessor Wilson has imitated, but scarcely equalled, in his poem of the " City of the Plague." Yet this is the man that the wasp of Twickenha m thus contemptuously alluded to, " Earless on high stood unabashed Defoe." _ It is a quere which will last the longest, Pope's best works, or Defoe's " Robinson Crusoe." Were we to give our opinion, we should give it in favour of the romance. It is throughout a broad intelligible appeal to the feelings of human nature generally, Pope's popularity is of a more artificial and restricted character. " The Woman Empire" is an elaborate digest of the contents of the numerous recent publications on that subject by Frankland, Madden, Walsh, and others. " Southey's Colloquies on Society" are treated somewhat severely, yet not without justice. On the whole, the number is an excel lent one. POETICAL ASPIRATIONS. LONDON, 1830. Considering the very low ebb to which good poetry:is reduced at the present day, we see no great reason why this young gentleman should not attain his share of popularity as well as others. His " Aspirations," if not presumptuous, are at any rate fervent, and likely to prove accept able to the taste of a public for which Campbell, Moore, Rogers, Wordsworth, J. Montgomery of Sheffield, Southey, Croly, and Coleridge, have long since ceased to write. SKETCHES FROM NATURE. LONDON, 1830. This is a quaint but amusing medley of na tural history, anecdotes, and essays, bound to gether by so slight a thread of connection, that the very whisper of a fastidious critic would be almost sufficient to snap the ligature. However, as the volume, though rambling and unconnected, is amusing, intelligent, and pleasantly written, we feel bound to speak highly in its praise. ARCANA OF SCIENCE AND ART. Loxnox, 1830. " Science" —says Sir Humphrey Davy---" is nothing more than the refinement of common sense, making use of facts &ready known, to acquire new facts." This is the principle upon which the present little volume is conducted. It is a sort of Annual Register of popular in ventions and itnprovements, and displays much judgment and discretion in its arrangement of, and comments on, scientific and mechanical inventions. There is one of the ceremonies still continued at the House of Lords which would ha mope honoured in . . the breach than in the obaervance. We do not mean the badge of conquest retaine I in giving the Royal Assent to Bills in Norman French, but the practice of swearing witnesses at the bar who are to be examined before Cott_ mittees. Thus the several witnesses who are summoned to give evidence before the East India Committee have to attend during the sitting of the House to be sworn at the bar; and then on same following ,lay to attend the Corn mittee : such useless was'e of time might be saved by the Committee having deputed to them the power of swearing their own witnesses. This loss of time is a grievous evil to many persen,, and answer, no unfol purpose. EDINBURGH REVIEW, No. C. EDINBURGH, 1830. There is a very spirited, and assuredly a very • just attack on Mr. Sadler, in the present num ber, for his recent absurd and inconsistent ad dress to the ship-owners at Whitbv. The proper deference is paid to the arguments he used on that memorable occasion, and will, n o doubt, if the Hon. Gentleman's speech be not already forgotten, have a truly salutary counter acting effect. " Maw's Journal "is a short but intelligent notice of some travels through South America. The most interesting portions of it are some particulars relative to a voyage down the mighty river Amazon or Maranon : " About a day's sail below Laguna the Gualiaga opens • into the main branch of the Maranon ; and about a hundred and fifty mi'es lower there was felt an increase in the depth and force of the current, which announced, even amidst the darkness of the n;ght, the influx of the great tributary of the Ucayali, after a course of upwards of a thousand miles. The Maranon now attains its full meze nitude ; awl its course downwards to the Atlantic forms, perhaps, the grandest river navigation on the face of the earth. Its direct line comprises twenty-two degrees of longitude, or above sixteen hundred miles, throughout the whole of which it was judged capable of receiving vessels of the greatest size. The region perforated by this inland sea, consists of one immense plain, not encroached on even by a hillock from the bordering Andes, but sloping gra dually and almost insensibly down to the Atlantic. " During the voyage, sometimes one, sometimes even both shores were invisible. The channel was filled with islands, usually little more than sand-banks, the largest of which were wooded. The breadth of the stream was indicated by a triple current, that of mid-channel being slower titan the two along the banks; the rate varying from three to six miles an hour. These currents were effecting con tinual changes both in the shore and islands. Portions of the bank would be seen falling in, while the trees with which it was clothed were thrown in masses into the water Sometimes there trees, having their roots deeply fixed, re mained after the surrounding soil had been washed away, and stood like watery groves. " On either bank, the animal and feathered creation, in vast numbers, filled the - earth and the air. The shores resounded with the cries of various large birds, among which the moutuns were the most numerous. The coati, with its note resembling a watchman's bell, and heard at several miles distance, took its station on the top of a tree, and amused itself with making the woods ring. The uruba, or crow-vulture, duly attended the travellers' meals, and screamed in despair when it found nothing left. Parrots crowded the villages, joining in the mirth and talk of the Indians; so as often it could not be known by the ear whether an Indian or a parrot was talking. Toe chief land-animal was the tiger, of various species and sizes, some very powerful, though not quite matching those of Bengal. The yucca marina, a species of the walrus, is the chief inhabitant of the river. It was stated to Mr. Maw, that certain lakes connected with the Ma ranon, were ingested with serpents so monstrous and for midable, that neither man, nor animal of any other species, durst approach these waters. Condamine mentions a similar statement as made to him ; a coineirlence which makes it probable, that these hikes really contain some serpents of extraordinary size." COURT CIRCULAR. The Duke and Duchess of Cr.Azuc retnrattl t , their residence in Bushy Park on Thursday night.

Yesterday a Court of Common Council was holden, for the disposal of various motions. Mr. HARMER, moved the second reading of the Bid for the regulation of the Mice of Secondary. The Bill was read a second time, but it was also carried that the opinion of the law officers should be taken whether the Court could legslly pass this Bill. Mr. BOUSFIRLD moved, that all eleationd sliculd he by poll, instead of by ballot. Sir PETRR LAUXIX seconded the *action. Mr. Tuoittomt. said, electing by poll would give a manly character to their proceedings. Tr e) were delegated, and their constituents had a right to know how thq exe cuted their trust. The motion, however, was negatived, afttr some ofr=er vations from Mr. Alderman Wincriaszta, XII.. HARAIIEK, Mr. R. L.

SUGDEN'S very important Bill for reformins Chancery ptacties, with throe other Bills introduced by the Learned Souctroa-GanzaAL were yesterday brought up from the Commons to the Lords The silence of Mr. BROUGHAm in the debate on Sir CHARLIS Wzruxunt,t's motion has been con strued us indicative of that Learned Glade:mita not feeling very warmly in favour of the prosecution, is which he was either complimented with, or constrained as a King's Counsel, to hold a brief.—Morning Herald. The " call of the House" for the 16th inst. was last night ordered, on the motion of Sir R. VTYYAI4 ; it was moved and carried without any observations bring made on it. Lord PALMERSTON has stated that he will bring forward his motion on the subject of Portugal on Wednesday next, and not on Thursday, as was erroneously mentioned in the votes of the House. His Lordship added that he was aware it was an unusual day to lining for ward a motion on which debate might arise. The exact words of Mr. O'CoNNELL's notice on the subject of Reform, as entered in the Notice Book are : —for " a Bill for the effectual and Radical Reform of abuses in the state of the representation of the peoplo in the Commons House of Parliament." Lord LOWTHER will on Monday apply for leave to bring in a Bill for the removal of the Hay and Straw Market to Cumberland-market, which is between the Regent's Park and Camden Town-road. A..nsore va luable alteration, as far as public convenient.* is concerned in the neighbourhood of Pall-mall, could not be made; but, except the name of the present Haymarket be altered, it will, like " Curn"-hill, bear a title with which its use is no longer concerned, Among the papers lately printed by order of Parliament are two Reports from Mr. Game, Superin dent of the Hulks, on board of which convicts under sentence of transportation are kept at work. These hulks, ten in number, are stationed respectively at Portsmouth, Sheerness, Chatham, Woolwich, Plymouth, and Deptford. The number of convicts on board was, on the Ist of January last, 4,250, many of whom are under the age of twenty. A registry is kept of the labour performed by these men, and entries of its eetintated worth are regu larly made in the office-books. A small number, rated as artificers, are considered to earn Is. 9d. a day ; but the great majority being employed as labourer*, Are considered as worth only is. 3d. a day. Yet, moderate as is this esti mate of the value of their work, the arrionnt, nt the end of a year or half year, is not greatly short of the total of their expense. Thus in the first six months of last year the earnings of the convicts in throe ten hulks amou.ated to 31,6461. ; the total expense, incleding Supeomitendent's salary, was 37,626/. These statesneuts are. followed by short reports from the different chaplains, at the hulks on the conduct of the convicts, as regard* attendance at public worship, and their moral behaviour generally. The chap lains, eight in number, report in general favourably, adding, however, that the orderly conduct of the prisoners id, doubtless, less a consequence of moral improvement than of the discipline in which they are kept, The boys are kept separate from the men, and are made to attend during certain hours at school. At Bermuda there are three convict-ships, and the number of men confined on board is above 1,000. The proportion of earnings to expense is here nearly the same—vis. 13,000/. earnings to 16,3004 expense, for a period of six months. Several of the Chancery prisoners have al. ready been discharged ; among others Pies:imp:a " the Rebel," and Locxri4r., the old wittier under the Duke of Yonx. COLVNIRUS'S APPEARANCE AT COURT.---.
