BRUSSELS. MONDAY, JAN. 14. The King of Holland is now playing a desperate game. If the Dutch people should, on seeing the folly of his system, be forced by the measures of France and England to revolt against him, as soon they must, he will call in the Pru,sians to overthrow them, as his father did in 1787, when the Stadtholder wished to seize the power which he gained by juggling in 1813. The nations that wish for the peace of Europe have, therefore, no alternative but compulsion to induce him to hear reason ; it must be im mediately applied. Those who observe matters closely contend that the blockade of the Dutch ports ought to be instantly effected, on the principle on which it was ap plied to the port of Antwerp. TUESDAY MORNING. The following are the articles of the proposed treaty between Holland and the five Powers, as published in the Handelsblad, with Belgian strictures:-- " I. The free navigation of the Scheldt, at a very mo derate rate of tonnage ; this is plausible, but it is asked, what right has Holland to refuse ingress to a Belgian sea port, as in Antwerp, where the tide rises many feet, and the water is salt, which is the national definition of a sea• port. "2. The navigation of the Meuse and Rhine on pay ment of the dues of the Convention of Mentz : this is vague, for the canals which lead from one river to another are not mentioned, as in the treaty of tl.e 24 articles, which states internal waters.' " 3. Belgium to pay from the Ist of January, 1833, 8,1,00,000 florins, as interest of her share of the debt. Belgium has no objection, when the treaty is signed on both sides, to pay her share. " 4. Holland to be a neutral country, advantageous to both countries : yet, in the next paragraph, there is a specification that the Belgian army shall be reduced, while the Dutch is to subsist until further measures : this ar rangement looks deceitful. "5. The question of Luxemburg to be settled by further negotiations : Necessarily ; for the German Diet as well as the five Powers enter into the discussion. " 6. Lief kenshoek and Lillo to be given up three weeks after the signature of the treaty : why not now ? and why are not the 24 articles accepted instead of this new project?" TUESDAY AFTERNOON. I have asked the opinions of some of the most expe rienced and best informed persons, and find, that although the tone of the King of Holland is regarded as lowered since the loss of the citadel, there is doubt and uncertainty as to the nature of his negotiations. One compared them to the sort of negotiations that existed in 1609, when the Spaniards and Dutch made a truce for twelve years, and not a wish to make peace, for they afterwards fought many bloody battles, and embroiled Europe before they signed a treaty. The question, therefore, arises, whether it be not possible to make a long truce between Holland and Bel gium, provided always the port of Antwerp be left as it was in October last. The present King may d'e, and there is better chance for peace, to which no one is here inclined to give him individually credit for, notwithstand ing his present show of peaceable discussion, which is called " a mask for delay." Some think also, that half the difficulties of the nego ti itions with the Dutch nation arise from their resolution not to be forcerl,—in order to gratify their independent feelings. The King of Holland has worked much upon that ground to serve his purpose of keeping up the war like spirit ; but it cannot be forgotten that the Conference of London, which signed and ratified the 21 articles, hesi tated long, and still hesitates, to enforce them fully. Holland loses every day by this absurd obstinacy, and the great interests of Europe are at stake. It is a false notion to think that Holland, as a nation, is now injured in her independence when she is asked to retain her own fron tiers, and the friendship of all her neighbours, instead of aiding another Quixote to begin a source of new adven tures. The independence of Holland is secure if the King makes peace ; anti even her demand for neutrality must be recognised by Europe with pleasure. Letters from Antwerp represent the great desire actu- ating the inhabitants to have the freedom of the port. It was said last week that two British and two American merchantmen attempted to come up the Scheldt, but the rumour is contradicted. There is, however, no doubt that a Danish or Hanoverian ship, laden with grain, was warned off Flushing, and forced to go to Ostend. Tke Belgian soldiers not stationed i❑ the polders are said to be about to enter into winter quarters. The staff of Gen. Desprez is about to remove from Antwerp to Brussels ; yet there is doubt of the conduct of the Dutch army. Prince Frederick is stated to have taken up his quarters at Nimeguen. The Chamber of Belgium met to-day, after the recess, but a sufficient number was not present to enter upon business. BRUSSELS, JAN. 15. Their Majesties the King and Queen, with their whole suite, will arrive here to-day from Lille. Gen. Evain, with his aide-de-camps, returned from Lille yesterday morning. General Desprez is expected here to-morrow ; the who'e of the staff will arrive on the 17th, and from that time the head-quarters will be at Brussels. It is announced that all the corps of the army are going to make a retrograde movement to go into winter quarters. —Brussels Papers, Jan. 16. )1 , - Jas• 14; Public los" the late 1 31 rts, the ene, m orii&eat ioo , . c eounts ad c l jc rig the fi the Past -0 its destin o n Thar 9 d 3l , f the conu t Bch of bri ti ' :he ann i " noble r e po • o ught f or ,: ought tbs.., h of JO', 11 reactiat:4 ;lit takel iuviola s erved th ei Ither publd J a nuary. s former r' erved its foe , any grot lO e Legisia tuft rovision! le o f obse ance of th ! e popu lati opose a t' :les J day B pal January', , in cooseq l ary, the. ately. ided that 's of the ice of del the opP°' e. lion shoOla f natursli°, was tbea' of •L' l4 ", , took th e :i last sittio • Maugui°l ken his 03 re coritul e ,' rensiou 01 of the DO aefoucauld rt s hould b et, that tb ' 3 of being be Inter 10 he ChatO ds the be re report sh e r the ter" b Bill, wbic 11 was tb' comallor; article S and the at the e% ) i rative or eases , be . l is by w hlc l e chose . corded t 0 al coupc i rrondisse' ecor , ding 1° the art icle the ca o ; rmatioa e come 3f ; Tondisseniv articles .ot )e at le'!it irrontliose which ro9 of the oral asl e ° re such belooP 11 be at : j ich it b e.° the proP ° i imbero u t :he 13 0°1) ral 0 0 ' sy convert° the ly decided,i n, laying ; each g crest and illy affee v tive in t . „ xisting vas a 1 10 ; had little the Best" nanner ( tons,-- 41/ mber 0 , )ne of tb: y this e'; and he p e regav u uty, io; w hich t is DON PEDRO'S ARMY. IMPERIAL HEAD-QUARTERS AT OPORTO, JANUARY 5 ORDER OF THE DAY. his Imperial Majesty the Duke of Ilrag,fanzaßegent, in the name of the Queen, and Commander-in-Chief of the Liberating Army, has been pleased to transmit to me a Carta Regia to the following effect : " Baron John Baptista Solignac, Marshal of the Army.— My friend—l, Duke of Braganza, Regent in the name of the Queen, greet you as one whom I much esteem. Having nominated you by my Decree of this day's date Major-General of the liberatlng army, and it being desir able to make known to the army the attributes inherent i❑ so eminent a command, I hereby declare, that in this qua lity you will exercise in my name all the military autho rity necessary for the execution of whatever may be requi site for the good of the service and the general interests of the army, whether in submitting to me the different plans which you think proper, or in putting them into execution after they have received my approbation, you being the sole and only organ of my orders relating to the army, who are hereby required to obey whatsoever you command in this respect, as implicitly as if it had been ordained by myself. Confiding in your experience, talents, and military skill, I trust that you will employ in the exercise of such impor tant functions, the same zeal as you have constantly shown through the whole course of your long and honourable military career in fivour of liberty. " Written in the Palace of Oporto, on the 3d day of the month of January, 1833. " Don PEDRO, Duke of Braganza. " AGOSTINHO JOSE FREIRE." Having the honour to communicate to the army the above diploma, it becomes my duty to make known to it the line of conduct I shall unalterably pursue in the exercise of the important authority which, in generous confidence, his Imperial M.jesty has vouchsafed to confer upon me. Devoted during the whole career of my life to the cause of liberty, nothing can he so delightful to me—nothing so glorious—as to see myself this day under the orders of a Prince who knows so well how to appreciate that noble cause. Placed at the head of an army which has dis played the most praiseworthy evidences of constancy, of valour, and of endurance, while it has with the most exalted loyalty, and most distinguished perseverance, striven to defend the rights of its Queen, so treacherously usurped, and to reconquer the palladium of the liberties of its country which have been so s can d a l ous ly t ramp l e d upon ; thus pursuing, at every sacrifice, the triumph of the cause of justice, loyalty, and national honour ! Identi fied, then, with this illustrious army, and devoted, by con viction and by sentiment, to a Just and legal liberty—the liberty it so nobly defends—l shall prove to it, that in every circumstance in which I may be placed I know how to estimate the honour with which I am invested, and that, marching at its head, I will consecrate to its glory all my vigilance and all my cares. By the Portuguese who so well understand their duties as citizens, I shall be excused if I venture to remind them that their first duties as soldiers are subordination and obe dience. Of both these qualities I shall constantly give to the army personally, as becomes me, the most decided examples ; and I trust to the zeal and honour of the brave officers, who have proved themselves so worthy of the posts they hold, for their effective assistance in preserving in its purity, throughout the army, that exact discirline which is the only true basis of its reputation and power. Having now become a Portuguese myself, and, like you, attached from aff e ction and principle to the noble c ause of P..rtugal, all my ambition, all my interests are bound up with yours. Confident in the purity of our intentions, and in the justice of the cause we defend, we w;11 march forth against our enemies in the surety of a complete triumph ; but in the midst of success let me remind you that the virtue which chiefly characterizes brave men is generosity, that the peaceful inhabitants of the country look to you for protection, and that your ene mies when conquered should always meet with mercy, Thus extending your protection to the personal security of individuals, respecting the rights of property, v enerat i ng religion and its ministers—the ministers of peace, whose duty requires them to support and preserve public tran quillity, you will nobly redeem the glorious mission in trusted to you by your country—you will earn the noble consideration and justify the generous expectations of his Imperial Majesty, and will have fulfilled, at the same time, the sacred duties of citizen soldiers, who honourably fight for the restoration of the liberties and independence of their country. B. SOLIGNAC, Major-General, Marshal of the Army. OPORTO, JAN. 6. Events succeed events—the plot thickens. Early yes terday morning the Coquette, a Constitutional schooner of war, Captain Hills, an old vessel of two or three guns, anchored near the newly-erected bridge of pontoons, was attacked by two nine-pounders of the Miguelite horse ar tillery, and sunk at her moorings by the very first two can non they fired at her, as likewise two gun-boats and two small boats ; but Captain Hills, of Donna Maria's navy, fortunately succeeded in saving the bridge, the main object of their attempt. The Coquette was a crazy and use less old vessel, fit only to be broken up for firewood. She may, however, be raised again. A seaman standing near Captain:Hills, bad his legs carried off by a cannon shot. The Miguelites bombarded the town furiously all day, and threw a number of shells and 321 b. shots into the Semina rio, a large building on an eminence facing the Serra Con vent, to the eastward of the city, the roof of which was destroyed. In the afternoon, the Emperor, accompanied bp his Aides-de-Camp, hastened to the spot at full gallop. A Polish officer, myself, and another civilian, followed him on foot, and as we were crossing a large field adjoin ink the S:minario, the enemy's battery on the south side aimed at us, as you would at a hare, and fired a 321 b. can non-ball close over our heads, which buried itself in the rising ground, within 10 yards of us, 'and compelled us to tack, and suspend our curio-its' on the present occasion. At two o'clock, p.m., the Brazilian ship Falminense, hound to England, with 150 invalids and rejected re jected recruits, got under way by signal, though the Cap rain and Mate were on shore, and, standing out to sea under charge of the pilot, passed through the bar, when the Miguelite batteries of Capital() and Furrada opened their fire of great guns and musketry upon her, killed four men, and wounded several, compelling her to come to anchor and surrender. The wounded were taken to the Miguelite hospital, and the English recruits are said to have entered the Usurper's service. During the night, the Miguelite batteries aforesaid, cannonaded the village of the Foz. The French battalion in garrison there was relieved by an English battalion, and retreated into a hollow way for shelter from the shot, and arrived by noon in town, the Brazilian ship remaining at anchor. As the deserters who came over yesterday at Aguar diente declared that it was the intention of the Mi guelites to make a general attack to-day, when Don Miguel had promised to pay his army their arrears in Oporto, our troops expected them accordingly, determined to give them a good reception. S;r John Milley Doyle had the kindness to ride with me round the lines, and to show me the fortifications, which, since the grand attack on the 29th of September, have been really made impreg nable for any force the Miguelites can bring against them, and lam now quite easy on that score when I hear can nonnades and bombardments at night. The threatened attack has not taken place this morning, and the Miguelite army has not been paid in Oporto, but the Queen's troops have received their pay up to yesterday. The army of Don Pedro is in the highest spirits, and desires nothing more ardently than an attack. It is said that Marshal Solignac will make a forward movement before the end of this month, unless an interference take place. The Empert r held a Court yesterday, and General Solignac likewise gave a grand reception to the officers. We have been favoured by the following extract of a letter from Oporto, Jan. 6:— " Several vessels have lately landed their cargoes at the Fez, early of a morning, before the enemy's batteries could fire with any precision on the landing place. We have about 1,000 men in this fort, consisting partly of the Fiend' and English brigades, under the orders of Colonel Williams. The Miguelites have about 6,000 men, corn manded by Telles Jordao, and their picquets are within musket-shot of our troops, but dare not attack them. " Gmet al Solignac has declared that we have sufficient force to resist the attack of double the number of our ene mies; but that in order to pursue them, after a defeat, it will be necessary to prepare transports and a Commissa riat. He has established his head-quarters close to those of the Emperor, and every thing is now in the best pos sible train for our assuming offensive operations. The army are eager for the fight, and hope soon to be on their road to Lisbon. " The Emperor and Marshal Solignac lately visited together the Serra, and the latter expressed his satisfaction at the defence made by the garrison. A suspension bridge has been established, under the direction of Capt. Hills, in order to facilitate the communication between the city and the Serra, and to make a sortie with a sufficient force to sweep the left bank of the Douro, and drive the Mi guelites from their batteries. " Several deserters, lately arrived from Aguardiente, say that the Miguelites despair altogether of the success of their cause, but that they console themselves with the hope that they will have Donna Maria for their Sovereign, and never Don Pedro. They also state that they have not been paid for six months, and are in the most deplorable condition in every respect. Our troops are paid regularly every day, in order to prevent the troops—especially the British, from getting drunk, to which they are but too prone when they receive their pay at once ; the officers receive theirs monthly. " Marshal Solignac brought with Lim 200 veteran Prussian soldiers, who will be incorporated with the Ger mans who are attached to the French battalion, and who will form a separate corps, under the orders of the brave Schwalbach. " I have this instant been informed, by the very best authority in Oporto, that by, probably, this conveyance, the Emperor sends orders to the Empress to realise certain funds belonging to himself, to the amount of 60,0001. or 70,0001., that specie may be sent to Oporto, to enable him to accomplish his march to Lisbon without bearing too heavily on the people of the country through which his army is to pass, as well as to procure fresh supplies from England. " By the two last packets we have received here, on account of the Government, some thousands of sovereigns; and the Miguelites, apprised of this fact, give very large premiums on this money, to get it away to Lisbon." OPORTO, JAN. 9. Nothing of any importance has occurred within the last two days, except the long-wished-for arrival of the packets. The enemy's new battery at Cabodello-point continues to play upon all who attempt to land, but is well replied to by the castle of the Foe. The other new battery at the back of St. Antonio's convent has not yet opened its fire. Miguel's people took all the English and French out of the Brazilian vessel whose progress they stopped the other day, and on Monday night one of Don Pedro's best offi cers, Captain George, got on board with some of his crew, slipped the cables, and ran her out of the harbour. He was of course fired at by the batteries, but succeeded in escaping without damage. On Monday there was some picket work at the lighthouse. Bullocks and horses were landing, and some interruption was given by the enemy's troops ; they were, however, speedily repulsed, The Second British battalion now garrison the lighthouse, and there could not be a better selection. John Bull is sure to fight for the beef. I send you some nurnb?rs 51 the Chronica. In that of the 7th you will find General Solignac's address to the army, on assuming the command. He must, as be says, get them well in the hand before any stroke can be at tempted. A few days more will suffice for that purpose, and tben I feel sure of having an interesting subject to treat on. The Nimrod and the Hope transport, with provisions for the fleet, ale off the bar ; in thc• former Col. Badcock, arrived from Lisbon, to relieve Colonel Hare. The Echo steamer went out yesterday, to bring in the provisions, and I am sorry to say struck violently in crossing the bar. The pilot's nerves were probably a little shaken, as shot and shells were flying over him at the time. I hope the vessel is not seriously injured, but fear lest she may have suffered a good deal. It is very probable the Oporto gentry are speculating upon how many barrels of powder she is to bring to the enemy, as they said last time, when the story goes that six watermen were ready to make oath, that 100 barrels and bags were landed for Don Miguel. Admiral Parker has called upon Don Pedro's Govern ment for a distinct contradiction of all these slanders, and lam glad of it. Their conduct has been very bad, and as impolitic as ungentlemanly. In the Chronica of he 3d there is a decree which has caused great discon tent. I mentioned some time ago that there was a com mission to inquire into monopolies and forestallings. This has terminated, and the decree declares that all necessaries of life in store are to be placed in public deposit, and sold for the owners at a reasonable rate, and giving them a fair profit. This, no doubt, looks all fair, but it has put a ertr r A)) LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 17, 1833. We are assured, that immediately after the receipt of the answer of the King of HOLLAND to the proposals of the British and French Ca binets, Earl GREY communicated it to Baron BuLow, the Prussian Minister, Barons WES SENBURG and DE NIEUMANN, the Austrian Charges d'Affaires, and Prince LIEVEN, the Russian Ambassador, and ; at the same time,tle sired them to say frankly, whether any encou ragement had been given to the King of HOL LAND, by their respective Courts, to persevere in his obstinacy ? On being told by these di plomatists that they were not aware of any such encouragement having been given, Earl GREY is said to have asked whether, in the event of the King of HOLLAND'S further resistance, Russia, Austria, and Prussia would co-operate with Great Britain and France, in the measures which might become necessary, in order to bring the question to a settlement ? They replied that, short of coercion, they would promote the views of Earl GREY to the utmost extent of their power ; and they, at the same time, took the opportunity of stating that all the movements which had been made by their Governments, and which had excited doubts of their pacific intentions, had been merely precautionary, under the impression that the French did not intend to evacuate Bel gium, ---that the French army having been with drawn, the three Powers would have more confi dence in the professions of the French Cabinet, and would cordially co-operate in all proper means for preserving the peace of Europe. Consid er i ng t h e source f rom w hi c h we re ceived this information, we have no doubt of its correctness, but we cannot refrain from observing that, whatever may be thought of the policy of the Austrian and Prussian Cabinets, as stated by their representatives in this country, very little reliance can be placed on the assurances of Prince LIEVEN ; for, however well disposed himself, he cannot answer for his Government. It is well known, indeed, that whilst Prince LIEVEN has held a language here condemnatory of the Dutch KING, Count DOLGOROUCKI, the nephew of Count ORLOFF, and who is the Russian Charge d'Affaires at the Hague, has been urging the Dutch to resist the demands of France and Great Britain. It would be prudent in Earl GREY, therefore, not to confide in the pacific assurances of the Russian Ambassador. The King of HOLLAND, Don MIGUEL, and the Pacha of EGYPT, are at this moment the three greatest lions of the day. Each by turns keeps the world intent upon his warlike opera tions or diplomatic measures. But as tie King of HOLLAND is the most legitimate Sovereign of the three, we give the following picture of his life from a Morning Contemporary. It is during the last nineteen years, and exhibits his conduct in a true historical view : " In November, 1813, he was a pennylese, unknown, l and forgotten exile in England. His father, the Stadt ' holder, had died in exile in Germany. The French Em peror was driven out of Holland, and the people received him as Stadtholder with satisfaction, when some parasites, in December, 1813, proclaimed him Sovereign, under the protection of the Cossacks then residing in Holland. A sort of constitution was patched up, a set of men were named by them, and assembled in the great church at Am sterdam on the 29th of March, 1814, not to debate, but to say Yes' or ' No' as to the acceptance of the new-made constitution. Those who were present at the opening of this packed meeting describe the fright with which this Prince made his first and only speech ; he was afraid that some of the old Republicans would have hurled the invader of their rights from his seat ;' but the ancient spirit was sunk, the Russians and the Allies, among whom were British soldiers and diplomatists also, were at hand, and the dismal scene passed over, the consti tution was declared accepted by a majority of 458 to 25 of the mock freemen, and Holland became the property of a man who a few weeks before had neither right nor title nor expectation of the dignity of a Sovereign. " It subsequently pleased some of the diplomatic in triguers who favoured his views to join Belgium to Hol land, and at Brussels the trick was got up of calling an assembly to say also Yes' or ' No' to the acceptance of the Dutch constitution. A Dutch Minister made out the lists of the Belgian notables, who were assembled at Brus sels on the 18th of August, 1815. The number present was 1,323, of whom 527 voted for and 796 against its acceptance, but the King, in a decree of the 24th of Au gust, declared that 'as about one-sixth had not attended, their votes were to be counted in favour of his constitu tion; besides, the Dutch had already accepted it, and therefore so did the Belgians.' It was subsequently enacted to be a high crime and misdemeanor to doubt the validity of the acceptance. " Fur these, and many other reasons of equal force, the discontent of the Belgians increased every year, and so did the wealth which King William collected. From having nothing when in England, in 1813, in 1829, he was worth 8,000,0001. sterling. Among the means of realizing that fortune was the effectual one of buying up, at his accession to the Crown, Dutch Bonds then deteriorated in value (like the Cortes Bonds at this period), which he forced upon the nation at their full rate." Then follows his expulsion from Belgium— his attempts to reconquer it—his second expul sion, and the subsequent affairs of Antwerp, Protocols—and the closing of the Scheldt, with which our readers are but too well acquainted. A correspondent, who signs himself " A Lover of Peace and Justice," is desirous of having pointed out to him " the particular dan gers" that would attend a Repeal of the Union. We answer by reference to tEsor's well-known fable of the " Bundle of Sticks," whence our correspondent may draw a very apt and season able moral. Still further we may reply, that a Repeal of the Union, while it will infallibly de liver over Ireland, bound hand and foot, to a haughty, relentless faction, will keep England in a state of constant jealousy and excitement, from a not unnatural apprehension that separation—a separation as complete as that of the United States from England—will tread close on the heels of Repeal. For let no one imagine that (such a question once carried) Ireland will ever rest satisfied, until she has achieved also the grand, final measure. O'CONNELL and Co. may fancy that she will, and that they may be able of them selves to check all ulterior movements, and sway at will the destinies of their country ; but they will find themselves miserably mistaken, for they will then become, to a greater extent than even they now are, the tools—the mere tools of a faction, creatures of the popular fanaticism which they can control only so long as they flatter and encourage it. The ex ample of America, (the next coast made on quitting the western ports of Ireland) to which every Hibernian Demosthenes is so fond of al luding, and which never fails, as the year runs round, to do public honours to the memory of EMMET, FITZGERA LD, and the rest of the Irish republicans, will not be lost on the susceptible minds of the Patlanders. A republican party would no doubt raise its head in Ireland, the very instant the Union was repealed; and to this party, the O'Connellites must of necessity belong. What would be the consequence ? The same phrenzied spirit would spread more or less throughout En g land, and thus the seeds would be sown of interminable disasters to both coun tries. But to this branch of the subject we shall refer at length at some future opportunity ; at present space and time forbid. As respects our correspondent's remark about English capitalists (in the event of repeal) " in room of venturing to foreign climes, car rying their money to the more congenial soil of Ireland," this, we conceive, as it resolves itself into a mere question of security, is likely only to happen when an Imperial Parliament shall have legislated for Ireland in the true spirit of Reform. An Irish House of Commons will never be able to furnish guarantees sufficient to satisfy the keen, sagacious scepticism of an English capitalist. The news from Egypt, or rather from the theatre of war in the East, is rather more favourable to the Turks than previous accounts. A great battle was expected, upon the result of which depended the fate of the campaign, if not that of the SULTAN. stop to speculation ; and very many who had sent orders fnr cargoes of provisions have now countermanded them. We are all in anxious hope here of a cessation of arms, but, of course, that we • hall have from Madrid, if at all. The Emperor, it is said, will now proceed rigorously to sequester the property of absentees and rebels. The amount spoken of is large, but in Oporto he will not find purchasers, any more than Miguel could in the heyday of his power find people to purchase the goods of banished Constitutionalists, and I question much whether any foreigner would like to invest money in such security. DECEMBER 9. A bark with the Admiral's flag has just appeared off, and this, of course, announces Admiral Sartorius's arrival from Vigo. I wish his other vessels were here, as from the sea they could destroy Miguel's new battery on the point. Having failed in their attempt against the light house yesterday, the enemy, as usual in such failures, wreaked his vengeance on the town, into which, about four this morning, he began to throw shells, and continued for a considerable time, five in the air together. FALMOUTH, TAN. 14, 5 O'CLOCK, P.M. The Seafiower cutter, Lieutenant Morgan, from Lis bon and O d orto, is just arrived. She brings intelligence from Oporto up to the 9th instant, but nothing of conse quence had occurred since the last advices per the Pike. Daily skirmishes took place, without any apparent good effect to either party. The troops of Don Pedro were in better spirits, and had received part of their pay. A for ward movement was talked of by General Solignac, and an attack was daily anticipated on the part of Don Miguel's forces. PRICER OF STOCKS THP Rank Stock ......... ..... 193 2%1 3 per Cent.

Upon the case coming on for hearing upon the construction of ibis': particular clause of the will, the Court directed an in quirt' to the Master,who found that Thos. Pearce had never executed the power of adoption, and the plaintiff insisted, in consequence of the power of adoption never having been exercised, that he was the nearest of kin of the name of Pearce, and that he was' entitled to the property. Another person of the name of Pearce had also set up a claim.

DAVIS. Mr. CHILTON moved for a rule, calling on a❑ attorney whom he did not name, but residing in Brecon, to show cause why he should not pay to the plaintiff the debt and costs in this action, and why he should not answer the matters contained in certain affidavit.. The plaintiff brought his action against the defendant for 201., upon a promissory note, and employed his attorney in London, who sent the writ to hi. agent, an attorney in Brecon, to serve it on the defendant, who re sided there. A correspondence afterwards passed between the London and country attorneys, the latter assigning va rious excuses for postponing the service of the n , cessary proofs, and causing considerable delay. The plaintiff then caused an inquiry to be instituted, when he found that the Brecon attorney had received the debt and costs crow the defendant. In consequence of the conduct of that attorney the plaintiff was obliged to make this appli cation, calling on him to pay the debt and costs in the action, and to answer the charges in the plaintiff's affidavits. Hie LORDSHIP granted a rule to show cause. Mr. TEMPI.% moved for a writ of certiorari, requiring Benjamin Flanders, Esq., a magistrate in the neighbour.. hood of Thirsk and Yarm, to return to this Court the accounts of the Surveyor of the Roads in the township of Kirk Lerrington. The object of the motion was to try the validity of an item of 291. odd, which had been charged upon the county rates. His LORDSHIP granted a rule Nisi to have the point argued.

The Dutch Envoy Extraordinary had an interview yes terday with Viscount PALMERSTON, at the Foreign•office. After the interview, Viscount PALMERSTON had a confe rence with Eatl GREY, at the Treasury. Prince TALL EY }LAND had also a conference with the two Ministers. The Baron de IVEssEtinunc, the Austrian Minister on a spe cial mission, and the Belgian Minister, visited Viscount PALMERSTON last evening. Several of the Foreign Ministers assembled at a late hour on Tuesday night, at the Foreign-office, and were occupied with Viscount PALMERSTON for some hours. Earl GREY entertained the Cabinet Ministers at dinner last evening, at his residence, in Downing -street ; the Earl of CARLISLE was present. This was the first time that the Noble Earl has been able to attend a Cabinet meeting for a considerable time past, owing to the corn p'aint in his feet. The LORD CHANCELLOR, the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, the Duke of RICHMOND, Viscount GODERICII, Mr. STANLEY, and all the Cabinet Ministers in town attended.

The only arrival this morning is his Majesty's steamer Carron, from Lisbon, which she left on the 9th inst. It is not believed she touched at Oporto, as we do not bear of any letters having been received, or of any news from Oporto. The Continental intelligence is not of an interesfog or tore, and nothing is as yet decided with respect to Hol land. It is stated that the Prussian army of observation on the Belgian frontiers are retiring. A dreadful fire has taken place at Liverpool, which has caused great destruction to property ; 11 warehouses and several dwelling-houses hare been destroyed by the fire, with 11,000 bales of cotton, and 700 hogsheads of sugar. The loss sustained is computed at 200,0001. TIIE FUNDS. Consols, which left off heavy yesterday at 871 for the Account, opened at the same price; soon after they were done at 87; at present they are 87i. This decline is attributed to great lots of money stock coming to Market. HALF-PAST ONE. We again repeat that the despatches received from Holland are of a favourable description, and it is expected that the affairs of the Scheldt will soon be settled. The letters from Lisbon of the 9th inst. state that the Carron steamer was despatched suddenly. A French brig of war entering the Tagus was fired upon from the Castle. Don %god was expected from the army. It is stated that letters are in town from Oporto of the 12th, and that the English, French, and Spanish Consuls had received orders to propose an armistice to Don Mi guel, and were waiting his return, as the affairs between the two brothers were to be settled by negotiation; but General Solignac was determined to give Don Aligner. General battle, previous to their taking place. Consols continue at 87j for the Account, and for next time 87,i A-, with little doing. THREE 0' CL 0 CK. Consols for the Account, 874.
