THE PORTUGUESE REGENCY. DECREE. ". Having, lee,myß.eyal, decree of -the 3d of March last int., ordered that sthe.kingdoms of Portugal and the Al garves; and the dominions 'thereto belonging , should be governed in the name of my dear and much-beloved daughter, - Donna Maria, their Queen (according to the Constitutional Charter given by me for the said monarchy, and to which the Clergy, Nobility, and People have sworn), I expressly declared the time to have arrived, which in my best judgment I had fixed upon as the period at which my abdication of the Portuguese Crown should be completed, and when I should cease to have any farther claim to the said crown and its dominions ; it has, how ever, come to pass, that the Infante Don Miguel, my brother, and Lieutenant and Regent of those kingdoms, to whom the execution and publication of my decree of 3d of March last year was confided, not only has not pub lished and executed the same, but with manifest abuse of my confidence, and with the not less manifest breach of the obedience and fidelity which in the most public and solemn manner he repeatedly promised by word and oath to me as his lawful Sovereign and King, and moreover contrary to his formal recognition of my aforesaid dear and much beloved daughter, Donna Maria IL as reigning Queen, in virtue of my abdication, with whom in that quality he se lemsly contracted espousals, has revolted in the said king doms, calling himself and causing himself to be called King and Sovereign thereof, whereby he has suppressed the office of Lieutenancy and Regency which I delegated to him, usurped a Crown to which he has no title, and ovethrown the institutions which were granted by my sove reign and legitimate authority, for the purpose of pro moting and securing the greatness and prosperity of the said kingdoms, which institutions he had, in the face of Europe, swore faithfully to maintain, and cause to he maintained. From those events, which have occurred since my Royal Decree of the 3d of March last year, have resulted, along with all the evils' which now afflict the kingdoms of Portugal, the Algarves, and their depen dencies, the further fatal consequences of the said king doms being destitute of any legitimate government for ruling and administering the same ; and of the said Decree of the said 3d of March, emanated from my royal, legitimate, and recognized power, remaining unpublished; and of the rights of my dear and much-beloved daughter being left without any authority to protect or defend them, or to cause them to be acknowledged and respected. And whereas there is not in the public jurispru dence of Portugal any law applicable to the present case, accompanied as it is by so many extraordinary and un foreseen circumstances, nor is there in Portugal any Go vernment which, in order to supply with legislative forms this omission, can legitimately convoke a new Chamber of Deputies, and re-constitute a Chamber of Peers, now almost extinct by the voluntary renunciation of the greater part of its members; it is only from my dear and much loved daughter, Donna Maria IL, the legitimate reigning Queen, (I, as her guardian and natural protector, supply ing what is defective in her age), that can proceed the remedy for such dreadful evils, to oppose which she is au thorized by the great misery and oppression under which she sees the people whom Divine Providence has confided to her maternal care,—by the urgent necessity of restoring to the kingdoms of Portugal, the Algarves, and their de pendencies, the political relations with other nations which the usurpation has interrupted ; by the natural and im. prescriptible right of defence against every aggressor, or of recovering from every usurper the crown which justly be longs to her by the most legitimate and completely re cognized rights; and, finally, by the example of what has been done in similar or analogous cases in other Euro pean States. 6' For these reasons, in the character of guardian and natural protector of my dear and much-beloved daughter, Donna Maria 11. aroresaid, I have thought fit to create and appoint a regency, which in her royal name shall rule, govern, and administer the kingdoms of Portugal, Algarves, and their dominions, and shall in them fulfill and cause to he published and carried into effect my decree of the 3d of March of last year, and cause her legitimate and imprescriptible rights to be in every other manner pre served and respected. " The Regency shall consist of three members, who "hall appoint a Minister and Secretary of State, who shall discharge the duties of all the departments of the affairs of the said state, until the royal authority of the Queen regnant be established throughout the whole of the mo narchy, or the separation of the departments become ne cessary. The questions shall be decided by the majority of votes ; and in the case of the deficiency of a member the Regency, or of any impediment to attendance, the Illinieter and Secretary of State shall act for the absent Regent, if there be only one 111;nicter and if there be more thin one, the duty shall be performed by the Mi ni-ter who has the seniority of appointment. If the de ficiency or impediment he of a permanent nature, the Regency_ shall nominate a successor, it being, how ever, provided that no person shall be so nominated who is not at the date of the present decree of the Council of her Most Faithful Majesty. On the first meeting, the Regency shall take the appropriate oath, of which a form for all the members shall be preserved in the archives. "And I nominate for the said Regency, the Marquis of Palmella, of the Council of State of the Queen Regnant, who shall be President; the Count of Villa Flor, Peer of the realm ; and the Counsellor Jose Antonio Guerreiro, who must direct and take the necessary measures for the complete execution of the present decree. " Palace of the Imperial. Quinta of the Boa-Vista, June lA, 18$9. (Signed by his Imperial Majesty.) " We order .the above to be executed, registered, and published. " Government Palace, Angra, March 15, 1830. " Marquis of PALMELLA, " Count of VILLA FLOR, " JOSE ANTONIO GUERREIRO." 0 PROCLAMATION. " Portuguese,—The Regency created for governing the kingdoms of Portugal and the Algarves, and their domi nions, in the name of the Senhora Donna Maria II , our lawful Queen, is installed in the Portuguese territory. " The usurpation, which in 1828 annulled all the acts by which Don Pedro IV. abdicated the crown of Portugal, would authorize him to resume the sovereignty of those kingdoms without any s tipulation or condition. Neverthe less, constantly influenced by his desire for the happiness'of the people whom Divine Providence has intrusted to his paternal government, and wishing to avoid even the slightest appearance of the unicn of Portugal with Brazil, his Ma jesty renounces his right, maintains his abdication in favour of his dear and much-loved daughter, now our Queen, and as her father, guardian, and natural protector, has insti tuted a Regency, whose first duty is to maintain and defend the unalterable rights of her Majesty, our august Sovereign. " Portuguese, you should be grateful for so many bless ings. The whole world knows your unalterable fidelity to your legitimate Sovereigns, and the unconquerable bravery which has characterized you in all times; and if the weight of calamitous circumstances has for a time overpowered the I.ction of such sublime virtues, the Regency hopes to see them in a short time manifested, uniting you to the common and legal centre of authority, which, in the name of your legi:inut.e. Sovereign, is happily installed in this part of the Portuguese soil, against which has been shat tered all the force of the enemies of the throne. " The Regency of the kingdom, determined to preserve uninjured the sacred deposit which has been intrusted to it of the rights of your legitimate Queen, and of the in stitutions of the country, hopes that all Portuguese will unite their forces to assist us, and while it recalls to their memory the still recent example of Spain and of Greece, reduced to one bulwark, and yet nevertheless triumphing ever the power of their oppressor. Such force has per severance in the support of justice and of national inde.. prudence.. " Portuguese, it is only from a legitimate Government that there can flow public tranquillity and individual security ; it is only such a Government that can unite under a paternal sceptre all aiiied of citizens, and which, calming the force of the passions, can heal the wounds of our country, while, on the other hand, an intrusive and illegal Government is supported only by the violence of faction, by the rigour and cruelty of individual perse cution. " At the voice of legitimacy we shall see arming in our favour all generous spirits : the Sovereigns of Europe must applaud our efforts, and God, who in 1626 accepted of our Baths, will bless our cause. " Government Palace, Angra, March 20, 1930. " Marquis of PALMELLA. " Count of VILLA FLOR. " JOSE ANTONIO GUERREIRO." Petitions to both Houses of Parliament are now in course of signature among the Members of the University of Cambridge, praying for a repeal of the civil disabilities affecting British-bor n subjects professing the Jewish relig i on. I t has already taceived the signatures of some of the leading members in that seat of learning, and among the names of those who first set their hands to it we observe that of the Rev. Dr. WARD, of St, John's College. The petition to the House of Commons will be intrusted to Lord PALMIERSTON, who is very friendly to the measure, and has promised to support the prayer of it in his seat. The second reading of the Bill is fixed for the Nd of May. --.Leamington Spa Courier. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 13, 1880. Despatches were received at the Colonial Office this morning from Lord BELMORE, Governor of Jamaica, dated the 23d of February. Despatches were also received from the respec tive Governors of the whole of the Leeward Islands. Lord ABERDEEN arrived in town this morn ing from his seat, the Priory, Stanmore ; Baron BuLow, the Prussian Ambassador, had an au dience with his Lordship at the Foreign Office. We stated yesterday that the Marquis of PALMELLA and the Regency had safely arrived at Terceira, on the 15th of March, where great satisfaction was expressed at his Excellency's escape from the Portuguese vessels of war which were watching to intercept the Regency. It would appear, that a manceuvre was successfully resorted to by the Marquis PALMELLA—that of transferring the Regency from the vessel in which it sailed from this country to an American ship, which proceeded to the island in sight of the squadron lying off it, the Commander of it, it would seem, not being at all aware of what was going forward, though he had, from previous in formation, been on the alert to prevent the land ing of the Regency. Immediately on landing, the Marquis PAL MELLA proceeded to constitute the new Go vernment in the name of the young QUEEN. The Regency consists of the Marquis PAL MELLA, Count VILLA FLOR, and Councillor GUERREIRO. The documents received from Terceira, connected with the establishment of the Regency, or emanating from it, are various. The first is an order of the day by Count VILLA ILon, altering the mode of military corres pondence. The second is the decree of the EMPEROR nominating the members of the Re gency, dated June 15, 1829. The third is a decree of the Regency, appointing M. Luis DA SILVA MOUZINHO DE ALBUQUERQUE, their secretary. The fourth is a decree of the Re gency, continuing the military command of the Azores in Count VILLA FLOR. The fifth is an order of the day communicating to the troops, by their commander, Count VILLA FLOE, the satisfaction of the Regency at their zeal, loyalty, and gallant defence of their Sovereign's rights ; and the sixth is a proclamation, issued by the Regency, and signed by themselves and their Se cretary, to the Portuguese ration. The decree of the EMPEROR, and the proclamation, being the only important documents, are given in another column. The following is from our Paris Corre spondent, with some extracts from the Papers of Sunday : " PARIS, APRIL 1 .1. " The open mid undisguised support which has lately been given by the Gazette de France to the pretensions of M. de Villele, as a candidate for re admission into the Cabinet, in opposition to the known wishes of the President of the Council, is now understood to have produced the alternative effect which was to have been expected from it. M. de Vilele leaves Paris to-morrow, and the Gazette de France is no longer the organ of the Polignac Administration. Such at least is the opinion enter tained by well-informed individuals, on whose means of procuring, and on whose perspicacity in appre ciating, intelligence I am accustomed to place con sperable reliance. At the same time I find it dif ficult to believe that e. man like the ex-Minister, who is justly regarded by his party as individually possessed of more shrewdness and sagacity, than the collective mass of the existing Administration, should abandon the views which brought him to Paris, and return to his retirement until lie has at least played his last card, if he does not find himself driven to the more desperate remedy of overturning the tables. There are some accordingly who believe, that al though the Jesuitical intrigues of the extreme 4pos tolical party have not yet been crowned with suc cess, we shall yet hear more of them before a dissolu tion of the Chamber be definitively adopted, and before the final retreat of their Arch-apostle from the field. By those who entertain this belief, M. de Villele's return to Paris and to power is con fidently predicted. It is even said, that he will re linquish the hopeless idea of attempting to govern with the men or the principles of the extreme droite, that he will attach himself to the two Centres, and by that means command a majority in the Chamber of Deputies as at present constituted, convoking them for the purpose of voting the Budget so early as August next. Without expressing any opinion as to the probability that such a manoeuvre may be at tempted, I have not the remotest doubt as to the total and irretrievable failure with which it would be attended; and unless it could be supposed that the Minister who should hazard such a measure en- tertained a belief approaching to a certainty of suc cess, it is not easy to see on what principle he could justify himself in the eyes of his master, and of the friends of Royalty, for compromising the dignity of the Crown by making another appeal to a Chamber already treated with so little attention or re spect. The announcement in yesterday's Moniteztr, that on the anniversary ceremony of the 12th April, the Deputies will not be received at the Tuileries in their collective capacity, but simply as private in dividualq, seems to me to afford some evidence, from its inconsistency with all former usage, that it is not intended to call the present Chamber again together, but that a dissolution is resolved on. " Although the QUetidienne may now, perhaps, be regarded as the only recognised organ of the Po lignac Administration, there is not, in fact, any es sential difference between the principles it espouses and those of the Gazette de France. The Quoti dienne is more candid than his evening contempo rary, in acknowledging his apprehensions as to the result of a general election. More timid than the Gazette, it is not unnatural that he should also be more ready to advocate those violent measures which timidity is so apt to inspire, but which the more dexterous satellite of M. de Villele would rather defer, as a last, because a dangerous remedy, al though I fear there is little doubt that even he and his party would not hesitate to resort to it, when driven to the extremity of their resources. The fol- lowing, which is taken from the Quolidienne of this morning, may, perhaps be received as a declaration of the views on this important subject entertained by the more decided portion of the present Cabinet : " What has given a character of rebellion (says the Quotidienne) to the address of the Chamber, is, that it has for its object to introduce a Parliamentary power into the exercise of the sovereign authority. Every Royalist has judged of the Address as we have ; and we are only developing their doctrines when we require that the Sove reign will should remain independent of all such interven tion as that which the Chamber has evinced a desire to usurp. For this reason the elections seem to us to be a simple accident in the general march of the Government —a serious accident undoubtedly, but not at all decisive, while the prerogative remains entire. For, if the elections were is prove revolutionary, it does not follow that royalty should perish for that. What is fundamental and decisive is, that Royalty should make its system triumph—the system of the Bth of August; and on that bead we have no doubt—no fear." The following are extracts from the _other Papers of Sunday : PARIP, APRIL 11.—The Journal du Commerce of this morning has the following :—" It is again rumoured that the dissolution will not take place. Ministers are alarmed by the accounts they receive from the departments, and the reports of the Prefects. It appears that they have resolved to face the present Chamber, and even anticipate the period of the re-assembling of the Chambers by con voking them for the Ist of August. The Count de Bout mont will leave Paris for Toulon on the 21st. It has been deemed advisable to place his portfolio in the hands of M. d'Haussez ; and, by thus putting the two offices of the Ministers of War and of the Marine in close concord, ensure greater activity in the movements necessary to hasten and carry on the expedition. The fleet, on its departure from Toulon for Africa, will consist of 93 ships :-11 sail of the line, of which 4 will be completely equipped for war, and 7 armed en flute; 21 frigates, of which 4 will have their full war complement, and 17 en flute ; 12 sloops, 23 brigs, 12 store-ships or transports; 6 steam-boats, and S gun-boats. To these must be added the blockading squadron already off Al giers, consisting of 5 frigates, 8 brigs, 1 sloop, 2 schoon ers, with 10 more brigs or sloops now in the Levant, at Alexandria or Corsica, and which will join at the moment of the departure of the expedition, or immediately after-- thus forming a total force of 119 ships of war. The Italian Journals announce, on the authority of letters from Widdin, that the Grand Seignior has just sent an extraordinary Ambassador to London on a special mission. The Austrian Observer announces, after intelligence of March 10th from Constantinople, that, in consequence of the first instalment of the indemnity to Russian .mer chants having been paid, the 6th article of the treaty re lative to Servia executed, and Giurgewo evacuated by the Turks, the Russian army have left Adrianople, Kirklisse, Luleßurgas, Midis, Iniada, and other places, and delivered them up to the Porte. It further adds, that as the Turkish Government are prepared to pay the second instalment according to the treaty, the Russian troops are making preparations to evacuate the whole country from the Balkan to the sea, as far as the gulf of Bourgas, and to withdraw into Bulgaria and Dobrudscha. Part of the Russian squadron have sailed for Malta. Admiral Hey den remains with two ships of the line, one frigate, and two brigs, in the port of Greece. Admiral Malcolm was at Napoli in the beginning of February, with a ship of the line, and some smaller vessels. The two French brigs, Volage and Surprise lately arrived in Greece; the former with 25,000 f., and the latter with 35,000 f. for the Greek Government. Their Neapolitan Majesties are expected at Bayonne on the 26th instant. They travel incognito, and have re quested that no extraordinary preparations may be made for their reception. They will, therefore, be received at the frontier by the Prefect of the Department, attended only by a detachment of the horse gendarmerie. Their Majesties will spend two days at Bayonne. Letters from Madrid of the Ist instant state, that Na varre and Guipuscoa have sent deputations to Madrid, to lay before the King the representations of these privileged provinces against the demand made by the Government for their contributing to the levy of troops, which, if per sisted in, would be a violation of their privileges. The King received them very graciously, and accepted instead a pecuniary compensation, which they were authorised to tender. It was reported, that in consequence of a letter from the Duke of Wellington to the King, a Council had been held on the question of acknowledging the indepen dence of the South American Provinces under certain con ditions. The Vales Consols of May were quoted at 44., those of September 44i; the Non-Consols at 12k. This fall is said to be in consequence of enormous purchases having been made by three houses of this capital, who were again forced to sell out. A letter of the 27th ultlirom Lisbon says, " Sir John Campbell arrived a few days since at Lisbon, with the con fident expectation of being admitted into the Portuguese army with the rank of Ma j or- General, but Don Miguel himself refused him, declaring that lie will allow no Eng lishman to enter the Portuguese service till his title has been acknowledged by the British C.ibinet. The Portu guese prisoners that escaped from the Castle of Lamego are still in the province of Alta-Beira; they have had se• veral engagements with the detachments sent in pursuit of them, and have taken an oath not to quit the province until they have burnt the property of those who pillaged theirs." The Greek Papers state, that on the 26th of January the Russian officers gave a grand entertainment to Count Heyden, previous to his departure fur the Baltic. Among the company invited were Vice-Admiral de Rigny, the Baron de Rouen, the Count de Panin, Canaris, and several Greeks of distinct ion. General St. Martin, who took a prominent part in the struggles of South America for her independence, has ar rived in Paris from Brussels. On the 6th inst. the Princess Gusteva of Hesse Hom bourg was safely delivered of a Prince. Accounts from Brest announce the lo ss o f n i ne men b y the sinking of a bout belonging to the Hgbe sloop of war, which went down at the moment she lowered her sails Ga reaching the ship. The accident was occasioned by im prudence in overloading the boat with 28 sailors. • Fitimest AparL 10.—Five per Cents., 100 f. 10e. sc. 10(1f. 106 f. bc. ; Four and a..half per Cents. 105 f. 60e. ; Four per Cents., 101 f. 10e.; Three' per Cents., Stf. 84f. se. 84f. ; Bank Stock, 1,915 f. ; Relates de Naples, 93f. 20e. 25e.; Rentes d'Espagne, 1414% 14 14% % % 14% %; Royal Spanish Loan, 90% %; Rentee Perpetuelle d'Eepagne, 7734 78 78% % % 7834 ; Hayden Loan, 539 f. 535 L—Exchange on London—One month, paper, tbf. 6ba. ; three months, paper, 43L 50e.—Coors Amthentigme.

His Majesty has assigned the sum of 75,000 dollars for the formation of a new harbour at Frederickaton, in Jutland. On the 3d inst. a little before midnight we had a storm like a hurricane, the wind being S.W. An English brig was driven against the Knippel's Bridge and almost dashed to piece,, and several other ships sus tained more or less injury. The bridge is so damaged as to be impassable for carriages or horsemen. MANOVER, APRIL 4. The introduction of a new criminal code into this king dom will not take place for some time ; the intended code has only been mentioned in the Diet, which has been in vited to appoint a Committee composed of Members of both Chambers to examine it. This Committee has ac cordingly been appointed, and the proposed code will pro bably be laid before the next Assembly of the State. • ritarrxroKT, APRIL 4. It is said that Prince lletternich will arrive at the castle of Johannisberg by the end of June, and remain till the end of August. Several distinguished Statesmen will probably visit the baths, near the Rhine, about the same time. The death of the Grand Duke of Baden has set the heads of some politicians at work, and they already spread reports of Bavarian troops entering Alarenheim to assert the right to the succession. Though there is not at pre sent any thought of an actual occupation, some persons conjecture that the Court of Bavaria will assert its claims througk diplomatic means. COPENHAGEN, APRIL 8. Ship news, received from Sweden by way of Bornholm, say that there is still much ice in the Baltic, and many ♦essels, large an I small, were seen from Bornholm, which could not approach the island on account of the ice. It is certain that several ships from Copenhagen, having got within one or two miles of that island, have been obliged to put back, as they could not get through the ice. VIENNA, APRIL 2. It is said that her Imperial Highness the Archduchess Maria Theresa, eldest daughter of the Archduke Charles, will be married to the Crown Prince of Bavaria. BERLIN, ♦PRIL 7.

The Turkish Vice-Admiral, Tahir Paella, is preparing to sail on board a frigate for Algiers, in order to propose the mediation of the Sultan for the arrangement of the difference between the Dey and France. It is generally affirmed that Jussuf Pacha, who surren dered Varna, has hopes of being restored to the Sultan's favour, and is preparing to return to Constantinople, where his son has long been, and is restored to his rank in the army. Among the measures lately adopted in favour of the Catholic Armenians, is the firman sent to Angora, by which, with the exception of the heads of a few distin guished families who were banished to Angora by special orders, the other Ar menians are at liberty to return to the capital.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY. T irEz TR O'OLOCK We have received the Hamburg Reporter of the 9th April, which contains little information. A Jamaica Mail has arrived by the Spey, sailed Feb. 22 ; from Carthagena, Jan. 27. A Leeward Island mail has also arrived by the Melville, sailed from St. Thomas's March 2; Barlsadoes Feb. 15. (From the Jamaica Courant of Feb. 22.) We regret to observe, in the speech with which the Governor closed the late Session of Assembly, his Lord ship appears dissatisfied with some clause retained in the slave law, as not corresponding with the liberal feelings manifested throughout the other provisions of the Act. The debate in the House of Assembly on the Coin Bill lasted above two hours; the subject of protecting the me tallic circulating medium is one of paramount impor tance in this island. The resignation of Bolivar has excited a strong sensa tion in Colombia. They consider it a mere ruse to strengthen his authority, as his party is said to be suffi ciently powerful to insure his re-election. Accounts from Vienna state that a part of the Austrian army are going to be disbanded, particularly the cavalry, which will be a great saving in the finances. It was stated it Malta that the island was going to be reinforced, owing to the French expedition to Algiers. THE FUNDS. The Consol Market does not appear quite so good as yesterday, when Consols left off at 93i i for the account, and opened at the same price, since which they have been done at 93i, and 94 to i for next time. The proclamation issued by the Marquis Palmella at Terceira, has rather damped the Brazilian stock, which fell about one per cent. this morning. Greek and Spanish stocks much the same as they left off yesterday. Little business doing as yet. Bank Stock, 216 17 India Stock, 3 per Cent.

The Consol Market has not that lively appearance as it had yesterday, and has somewhat receded from the opening price 93H to 931 -8- for the Account, and for Money 93 ;up to the present hour no speculation of import ance has taken place. We have received an Express from Paris, with the Papers of Sunday, but they are void of interest. In the Foreign Market little doing, except in Brazil Stock, which has receded about 2 per cent. since yester day, Colombian and Peruvian Stocks have rather improved. THREE 0' CL 0 CK. Consols 931 -a.

CITY MARKETS.—(TWO O'CLOCK.) The deliveries of British Plantation Sugars last week from the West India Docks were extremely small, not having exceeded 1,822 hhds. and 60 trs. for home use, and 30 hhds. for expert. The arrivals are very limited, and the stock has been reduced to 10,834 hhds. and 1,039 trs. There is scarcely any business doing this morning. The current prices are, for brown Jamaica, St. Kitts, and St. Vincents, 51s. to 54.. ; for good, 63.. to 655. ; and for fine, 655. to 68s. per cwt. The deliveries of Mau ritius Sugars last week were large, viz., nearly 10,000 bags, of which above 7,000 were for export. The stock in the West India Docks is 33,000 bags. Foreign and refined Sugars are snore firm. The Coma market wears a more favourable appearance, but the transactions are limited. Rox.—The deliveries of Runs from the West India Docks, last week, were 627 puns. and 34 hhds., 329 puns. of which were for the foreign markets. The stock is Row about 17,150 puns. and 1,400 hhds. Leeward. are from Is. 10d. to Is. 11d. per gallon-5 per cent. over proof. Imasao.—The near approach of the East India Com pany's sale of Indigos, which takes place next week, pre vents any considerable business in this article. The total declaration is expected to exceed 5000 chests. Stocks on the Continent are stated to be comparatively small. In Hops and Seeds there is rather more doing. SALTPETRE is now steady at from 35.. to 35.. 6d. per cwt. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS (THIS DAY.) —This was the first day for these Sessions. T. CONST, Esq. and a full Bench of Magistrates presided. Nothing of im portance took place up to the period when we went to press. The Globe states that the pecuniary arrange ments between Prince LEOPOLD and the Sovereigns who are parties to the Treaty for the pacification of Greece hare been completed, and that his Royal Highness is to receive from them about one million and a half of money divided into seven yearly payments. This information is pretty correct. Prince LEOPOLD is, we believe, (but we do not state this officially,) to have about 200,0001. an nually for seven years, to enable him to meet the various claims upon Greece, and to organise a government. No stipulation has been made respecting the loans already contracted, but we can state positively that the Allied Sovereigns, individually and collectively, are anxious to see justice done to all parties ; and we have direct authority to add, that his Royal Highness will do nothing in this instance unworthy of the reputation which lie deservedly enjoys for integrity.—lntelligence.

Yesterday, according to annual custom, ills boys educated at Christ's Hospital went in procession fret the school to the Royal Exchange, of whi c h they. and their friends took possession. After r ema i n i ng th ere l et' :' . half-past one, and partaking of various kinds of presot* they proceeded back again. The Loan MAvoa f sago' pulled by the Sheriffs and other officers of the Corporat4 o4 went in state to Christ Church, Newgate-street, where sermon was preached by the Bishop of BRISTOL. Alder' men WOOD, COPELAND, WINCHESTER, &c. were p re sent' The family of the Loan Mavoa was also present. I.o° evening the LORD MAYOR gave a spl e ndid entertainmen t at the Mansion-house. The reticule of the Duchess of ST. ALDAN'S, the apprehended losaof which produced such vivid e motiou in her Grace, at Drury-lane, is said to he one of the Ino splendid articles in bijouterie that ever came out ef, jeweller's shop. It is magnificently ornamented w' of brilliants of great value, and has the f a lcon, th e b a dge ° f his Grace's hereditary office, in the centre, composed the same costly materials. The value of the article render° the charge of stealing it the more serious, and an apologf fur it of course more necessary: We cannot find, boo' ever, that Mr. JarrittEs has received so mach as an acknowledgment of the mistake. The feelings of a poo r man are as sensitive as those of a rich one ; surely tb ere can be no hesitation in making that reparation to a per s° , in a humble station which wo u ld b e un h es it a ti ng ly de ' mended by one in a higher. Many of o ur rea d er s Wi`, recollect JEFrains on the st a ge as th e r e p resen t a tive o• senators, doges, walking gentlemen, &c., in many of which parts he " enacted" as an equal with the lady who n ote looks down upon him so immeasurably.—lntelligence. KEY TO " THE MANNERS OF THE-DAY. " —The character of Lady Isabella V ---- in the new novel of The Manners of the Day, is said to be sketched from a certain eli:gante well known in Parisian Society ss a favourite idol of his Grace of D E, and some pers". 6 maliciously assert that the character of Lady Danvers, is intended as a portrait of Lady GL , --ti. Others have thought proper to discern that Lord Witteradale is merely a representative of Mr. VESEY ; while Sir Ralph Harberton and his eye-glass are evidently figurative of a certain ministerial Colonel of rat-renown. The character of Theodosius Brill is pretty generally identified with Mr. H—E T —s, the Colonial Under Secretary. ANECDOTE OF DR. BRODIE.—When Dr. BRODIE was preparing his first introductory lecture, be shut himself up from society, but, in deference to a N,,ble friend, was induced to attend his dinner-party and his lady's ball. During the desere the Doctor left the t ool with his chapeau bras under his arm : on returning, be met the company arriving to the evening party, to who'll he bowed as he passed. The gentlemen looked grave; the ladies tittered, and turned their heads aside. When he entered the dining room be w as sal u t e d by an exp l os i on o f laughter ?—" Why, BRODIE !" exclaimed his Noble host , "what, in the name of Heaven, have you got under your arm?" The abstracted Lecturer looked, and saw—ln stead of his chapeau—the polished cover of the petite maison I When BONAPARTE was paying his addresses to Madame de BEAUHARNAIE, he one day accomp inied her to the office of the notary RAUUIDEAU, in whom she placed great confidence. JOSEPHINE was shown into the notary's cabinet, while BONAPARTE sat in the outer office occupied by the clerks. The door of the cabinet not being shut close, BorrArAnTE heard Jossmarm communicate to the notary that she was about to accept him for a husband ; and heard the notary say, " You may have cause to repent this step as long as you live ; it is madness to marry e, man who has nothing but hi s swor d t o d epend on .' BONAPARTE never made the least allusion to what be had heard till the day of his coronation, when he sent for RA" OUIDEAU, and addressing him in his imperial robes-- " Well," said he, "and have I nothing now but my sword to depend on ?" The Empress and his confidential &ere tary, BOURRIENNE, were as much surprised as the notary, as from both of them he had to that moment kept the se' cret.—Bourrienne's Memoirs. HERRING FISHING.—UntiI within the last few days scarcely any of the boats along the Moray Firth were engaged for the ensuing herring fishing. The curer' had come to an understanding amongst themselves not to give any money as bounty in future, and the fishermen on the other hand were equally determined not to engge without it. Some of the curers, however, at length gave way, and engaged boats at about 9s. 6d. per cran, with 5 1 • of bounty and an anchor of whisky. Most of the remaining curers have since followed their example, and prices have risen to 111. per cran and to 101. and 12/. of bounty, be' sides an allowance of spirits. Some experienced bands prognosticate n good fishing this year. The breeders : 01. spawners, they say, were driven about and separated last year, by the storms, instead of being taken as in a good season, and hence the number of which will be vastly iv' creased.—Scotsman. It is reported that an enormous animal hag lately been seen off the island of Lewis, floating on the water; and a similar occurrence happened ten years a go at the same place. Several persons had seen it, and for some time few people ventured out upon the coast. dt were idle to say that the animal in question was m e rely! whale, for the people of these islands are sufficiently fame' liar with whales to know one when it might come in their way, and are more acute observers than might be imagined by the learned naturalists. All that can be said on the subject is, that a strange animal, whether of a species known to naturalists or not, has lately visited these islands. Its length was stated to be upwards of eighty feet, and its form attenuated.—Edinburgle Literary Gazette. . - CORONER'S INQUEST.--Yesterday, at , two o'clock in the afternoon, a jury was summoned by M r ' HIGGS, the Deputy Coroner for Westminster, at the General Penitentiary, Milibank, to inquire touching the death of ELIZA BATHURST, a convict, aged eighteen.4 , -- Mr. WADE, surgeon to the Penitentiary, .stated, that' the deceased had been removed to the infirmary of theTerii tentiary on •he 29th of January, tt here she bad been two or three times before, with a very severe cold. Appreben" siona were entertained that her lungs were seriuutly .af fected, which proved to be correct, and she gradually sunk under her disease, and died of consumption on the l 1 tb instant. The jury gave their verdict that the deceased died by the visitation of God." It was observed by se' veral of the jury, that almost every case of death i° the Penitentiary appeared to be the effect of pulinenarY complaints.
