peachy, news has been received k this city as late as 25th ult. from the Mexican capital, and to the 4th inst. from Vera Cruz. These accounts mention the approaching entry of kyr:pint into the metropolis of New Spain, and the nomination of the individuals who were to compose the Su preme Junta of Government until the convocation of the Cortes. We have also received a file of the Yucatcco, h paper published. at Merida, and from it we col lect, that that Province declared itself inde pendent on the 15th Sept. last, and was deter mined to follow the fortunes of the Imperial leader of the Army of tile Three Guarantees. — .There is no longer a doubt that the Imperial 'cause, which has already reached the Banks of The Sabine, would extend through vast and rich Provinces to the Isthmus of Darien, the boun dary of the Spanish dominions in North America, *which, in the cause or race of independence, has, through the cunning of ITURBIDE and in quisitorial Priests, far outstripped the Southern dominions of the same power in the New World. " Captain COUTIIONY, late of the brig Aris tides, states, it was reported that the pirates had Captured a French ship off St. Antonio, and mur .dered all on board, including a Lady passenger ; and the fact of a Lady's clothes being found on board one of these vessels, stained with blood, is a strong confirmation of the report." MEXICO. NEW ORLEANS, Ocr. I.—(Extract of a Let ter.)—" I arrived at Saint Antonio on the 12th of August, with my company all in good health, and found the Government had been changed ; and that instead of entering the dominions of FERDINAND, I was in the independent Empire of Mexico, except Vera Cruz and Durango, which are the only cities that have not declared for the Independents. ITuRBIDE was besieging Mexico With 5G,000 men ; he had detached 12,000 against Durango, and another large body against Vera Cruz.—Mexico has not surrendered, but was still Closely besieged, and no doubt is entertained of its falling into the hanEs of the Revolutionists." It will be observed, in the account of the Annual Dinner of the York Whig Club, that Lord NORMANDY, son of the Earl of MULGRAYE, mad e a bitter attack upon the present Adminis tration, and charged them with acting upon a System of the vilest corruption. As we are in formed that Lord Nor.m..usar is a very young man, it is not wonderful that he should yield to the artifices, and be proud of the applauses of Party ; but, without any actual experience himself, he should not be so violent in his attacks upon an Administration with whom his father participated in situations of high national importance from its origin, and during a long period of its existence. Lord Noe+►a:vux's attack upon Administration is in fact an attack upon the political conduct of his father, who so long acted with the present Ministers, and resolutely supported their system. Much, as we have intimated, is to be allowed for the unreflecting ardour of youth ; but it would be more su!table to the modesty of his time of life to follow the footsteps of his father, who, from all we have heard, has been distinguished for loyalty and a firm attachment to the principles of that Administration with whom he so long co operated, and so zealously supported. It might surely occur to the juvenile orator that his attack upon the present Government might be suspected to arise from pique, spleen, and re sentment, because his Noble father is no longer in place. It is, however, impossible to suppose that he could have had any parental sanction for the sentiments which he uttered at the York Whi g Dinner; and it can only be inferred that a natural love of popularity has betrayed him at his early period into the trammels of Party, and it is to be hoped that parental instruction, if not admonition, will rescue him from those trammels, and that in due time he may be properly quali fied to take a responsible part with that very Government which he now so intemperately ar raigns. THE FRENCH APPLICANT.—We understand that, though this woman has been exposed in the Newspapers, she still continues to raise the sup plies with unabated audacity. Her plan is to look over the Court Guide, and to write to every respectable person whose name appears in it, praising their characters for benevolence, re questing them to call, and that she will then explain the cause of her application. Those who are credulous enough to visit her are desired to Purchase trinkets, and perhaps other favours. This new mode of levying contributions, in our opinion, demands the notice of the Police. Yesterday morning, about eleven o'clock, the Princess AUGUSTA left the King's Palace, in her travelling carriage and tour, for Blackeath, on a visit, and to spend the day -with the Princess SOPHIA MATILDA. The Marquis of LONDONDERBY arrived in town yesterday morning from North Cray. After transacting some business at the Foreign Office the Noble Marquis left town in the even ing on his return to North Cray. PORTUGAL. Portuguese Consulate Gene:al, Llndon, Dec. 4; 1821, 28, Great Winchestzr-street. Sir, I beg leave to enclose to you, for the information of the Gentlemen at Lloyd's, a translated extract from a public notice sent me by the Acting Secretary to the Commissioners of Public Health at Lisbon. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient Servant, ANTHONY LOPES PA CUNHA, John Bennett, jun. Esq. Consul-General. Secretary tp the Committee at Lloyd's. (TRANSLATION.) • Extract of the Public Notice, dated Lisbon, Oct. 26. The Commissioners of Public Health, in cons:quence of the official orders received from Government, through the Secretary of State for the Foreign Department, dated 25th inst., as well as official communications received from the Consuls in several ports, or other authorised persons intrusted with the superintendency and security of th e public health of this kingdom,make kttown,that the yellow fever still exists with excessive increase in Catalonia, parti cularly in Barcelona, Tarragona,an d Tortosa; that the same disease has appeared and proved to be such, in Mequinenza, kingdom of Arragon. in Malaga, Port St. Maria, Xeres de la. Frontera, Villa de Lebrija, St. Lucar de Barrameda, and in the city of Palma, in the island of Majorca ; and that it is presumed to exist in the other Balearic Islands, Marseilles, and Cadiz; and with great certainty, by the official advice of the Portuguese Consul-General at Philadelphia, dated Sept. 2, the yellow fever has declared itself in Baltimore, New York, Virginia, North Carolina, and Long Island. By the official advices from the Consuls at Larache, Tangier, and Mogador, the Empire of Morocco enjoys at present perfect health. It is ordered, 1. That vessels, persons, and effects, proceeding from the ports of Marseilles, Catalonia, as far as the mouth of the Ebro inclusive, the port of Malaga, Majorca, and from all ports and places in the Bay of Cadiz as far as St..l.ucar, including like wise those proceeding from the mouth of the Guadalquivir, Baltimore, Virginia, North Carolina, and Long Island, shall not be admitted into any port of this kingdom. 2. That vessels, persons, and effects, from the neighbourhood of Marseilles, Malaga, and the ports of North America (men tioned in Art. 1), as well as those of the islands of Minorca and Ivi •:, and ports of Spain, from Gibraltar to Ayamonte, except those mentioned in said Art. 1, can only be admitted into the port of Lisbon, under the condition of being ordered off before t hey complete a rigorous quarantine, or even afterwards, should the state of health at those ports so require it. _ 3. That vessels, persons, and effects, proceeding from the other ports of Spain in the Mediterranean, including Gibraltar and Port Mahon, without touching at any other port, shall only be admitted, exclusively into the port of Lisbon, under a qua rantine of at least 30 days. 4. That vessels, persons, and effects, proceeding from any other port in the Mediterranean, shall only be admitted, exclu sively into the port of Lisbon, under 12 days' quarantine. 5. That vessels, persons, and effects, proceeding from the Empire of Morocco and other Barbary States, are regulated by what was established before the public notice of 4th September of the present year. 8. That all persons and effects which from their quality shall be known to be from suspected ports or places, including Anda lusia, and more so if they should -be of a susceptible nature, will not be admitted into any other port of this kingdom but that of Lisbon. 7. That in all cases, vessels, persons. and goods, must be ac companied by documents from the authorities of public health at the port or places of departure, countersigned by the Por tuguese!Consuls, certifying the validity of the signatures, and the origin of .the contents of the docuMents, without which consular certificate they will be treated with the greatest rigour, and even not admitted, as it is determined by the public notices of the 31st of August, 1820, and 20th March, 1821. Signed by the Acting Secretary, FRANCISCO DE ASSTS E COSTA. We have received advices from Pernambuco to the 12th October. We before noticed the un successful attack made on the city by the troops acting under the orders of the Junta of Goyanna. It appears that those attacks were subsequently renewed without any advantage to the assailing party, except that of keeping Pernambuco for several days in a state of siege, during which they cut off their supplies of fresh provisions from the interior. In this interval, however, there arrived a reinforcement of Portuguese troops from Bahia, which so much abated the hopes of success before entertained by the besiegers, that they agreed - to accept a mediation, offered by the Authorities of Paraiba. After several confe rences, terms were agreed on, and all parties re tired to their own homes on the faith of a con vention, by which the Junta of Pernambuco and that of Goyanna referred the decision of their differences to the Cortes at Lisbon. In conse quence of this adjustment, business was reviving. An arrival from Batavia has brought letters to the 24th August, containing the sequel of the expedition against Palembang, which may be re lated in very few words :—After the attack on the principal fortress, which took place on the 24th June, the Dutch troops landed and took possession of the other forts, the palace, and city, without further resistance. By the Ist July all warlike operations had ceased, and the Sultan, who accompanied the expedition, was quietly seated on the throne of his brother. The de posed Prince had been conveyed a, prisoner to Batavia, and it was believed would be sent to .Banda. By .a vessel from Rio de Janeiro, letters dated the 4th of October have been received, which is two days later than the packet. 'The city is re presented to have been then quite tranquil ; and, as the Bank continued its payments regularly, confidence mercantile affairs was returning, and the exchange had risen to 49. Some appre hensions appear tq exist respecting the political state of the capital of Brazil, but the authorities of the best class express their belief that there is nothing in reality to be feared. Mr. THOMAS HALE, of Salisbury, has been to Alderley, Gloucestershire, to demand possession of estates descended to him, in male line, from Lord HALE, Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench. The estates are at present enjoyed by RoeEnT HALE BLAGDEN HALE, Esq. ; but the present claimant contends, that the estates must descend to-the heir male, under an old entail of the Judge's will ; and this step has been taken previous to the matter being brought before the proper Court.—(Bath Chronicle.) Yesterday, lltebeeca Mortrip, apparently about 25 years of age, was brought to Worship-street Office by the. Parish Of ficers of St. Mary, Islington, charged with inhumanly exposing and deserting her new-born infant, in the evening of the 12th November last, in Cross-street, Islington. She was committed till she found bail.

Notwithstanding the attraction at the Tennis Courtycsterday, the .amateurs mustered strong on the Essex Marshes, four miles from Romford, to see the sporting fight between Gidgeon, the scientific Jew, and Valentine, the Bristol man, famed for put ing an adversary to dorse, - with his right hand. The seconds were Torn Owen and Josh Hudson for Gidgeon, and Scroggins a nd the Romford baker for Valentine . The battle' lasted one hour and 50 minutes, in which time 79 rounds were fought. In the first round, after an exehange of hits, Valentine fell, from the slipperiness of the ground, and the Jew was backed at 6 to 4, being the heaviest man and the best fighter. The second was a merry fighting round in favour of Gid geon, who placed his hits very scientifically, and floored his ad versary. The four following rounds got the odds up to more than 2 to 1 on the Jew. Round 7. Valentine parrie d a hit, and gave his adversary a rattling facer with the right hand, and it was a good fighting round, but Valentine was down. Until the 13th round the Jew kept the lead, and knobbed away with . the left hand, and brought his adversary's head doWn to right handed punishment. In this round the Jew received a smashing hit on the temple, which produced the cleanest knock down blow in the fight, and exchiquered the Jew's head. This brought the betting to nearly even. Gidgeen recovered the Acts of the blow in the 16th round, and gave his adVersary a receipt for his hit by flooring him, and he kept the lead after, occasionally receiving -round hits upon the left car, which left the marks. Valentine had no alterna tive but the role}-poley system, and which, favoured by the swampy ground, he worked well; but the Umpires at length decided that he had fallen without a blow, and the Jew was de clared the winner. NSIAISMO22==I NEW COINAGE of tirrnixGs.—Much in convience is e xperienced by the lower order of shopkeepers, arising from the difficulty of procuring the above coin insufficiently small quan tities for their circulation; very many of them not having it in their power to send so compa ratively large a sum as 101. to the Mint; and no issues are made under that sum. THE THEATRES. 1) RURY-LANE.—The Road to Ruin, which al together is a well constructed Comedy, and par ticularly calculated to draw forth the talents of the performers, was represented last night at this Theatre. The excellence of MUNPEN in Old Dornford is too well known to need any com ment. COOPER, whose nightly labours skew his zeal in the service, gave a very spirited support to Young Dornfdrd. ILtULEY'S Goldfinch was all life, bustle, and humour.; and Miss KELLY'S Sophia an animated portrait of simple tenderness and spirit. Covm-GAnnEs.—We are sorry to state, that during the performance of Two Gentlemen of Ve rona, last night, in fighting with banditti, Mr. ABBOTT, who represented Proteus, received a wound near the eye, which drew from him a strong expression of pain. The audience were in a state of alarming suspence till Mr. EGERTON came forward, and assured them that the danger was not so great as was at first apprehended, and that the eye was not touched. The audience aestitied much pleasure in hearing this account, tnd Mr. Anaorr went immediately home. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. CAMBRIDGE, DEC. 6--At,a Congregation on Wednesday last the following degrees were, conferred :—, Honorary Nlaster of Arts.-L-Lora Hervey, of Trinity Col lege, eldest son of the Earl of Bristol. Master of Arts.—Rev. R. Skinner, of St. Peter's College. Bachelor in Civil Law.—Rev. Charles Burton, of St. John's College. At the same Congregation William Wilkinson, *M.A., of Trinity hall, was elected Taxor, in the room of the late Rev. B. P. Bell ; and Charles Ffrench Bromhead, M.A., Fellow of Trinity College, was appointed Pro-Proctor, in thz room of the Rev. J. II allewell, resigned. The following gentlemen were at the same time appointed Examinet:s of the Questionists :—R. Jeffery, M.A. Fellow of St. John's College ; John Hallewell, M.A. Fellow of Christ College ; J. P. Iligman, M.A. Fellow of Trinity College ; John Graham, Fellow of Christ College. The Plumian Professorship of Experimental Philosophy being vacant by the death of Archdeacon Vince, the Vice- Chancellor has appointed the 3d of January next for the elec tion of a new ProfeSsor. The Rev. Joseph Burdakin, B.A. of Clarehall, was on the 29th ult. elected a Fellow of that society. John Cantis, Esq. B.A. of Christ College, was on Tuesday last elected a Fellow of that Society, on the foundation of Sir John Finch and Sir Thomas Baines. The ,Stanmer packet has reached Falmouth, from Lisbon. The private accounts are to the 28th ult., and state, that the Portuguese Govern ment are adopting the strictest economy, and it has been determined that in future only Charges d'Affaires shall be sent to Foreign Courts, in lieu of Ambassadors, hy which a considerable saving will accrue. In the Stanmer packet two Secretaries of Legation were brought over to this country, who are to be attached to the office of Charge d'Affaires in London. The fever in Spain is yet prevailing to a great extent; no vessels were .allowed to enter the port of Lisbon-. from any port of Spain, without undergoing the strict est quarantine, which lasted for several days ; from some situations the communication was wholly interdicted, and it was not expected to be restored until after Christmas, and not even then, unless the fever should have totally disap peared in Spain. Letters from Rome of the 9th ult. represent the inhabitants of that city to be enthusiastic in the cause of the G reeks. A squadron is expected to sail shortly either for the coast of Africa or the Archipelago; several young Romans of the richest families are desirous of equipping some vessels at their own expellee, to cruize against the Turks. Permission has even been solicited from the POPE to execute their enterprise. A Deputation waited upon his Holiness to this effect ; the reply they received from the Pore was, " that he wished the youns , men, who were desirous of giving so great a proof of religion and humanity, would wait until all Christians were armed against the infidels, in order to deliver their brethren from the persecutions of which they were . the daily victims." The Music Ar. FESTIVAL commenced last night. The Theatre was crowded to an overflow with beauty and fashion ; the house was brilliantly illuminated, and the gallery in particular was filled with beauty and rank. Amongst the com pany present we observed Lord Viscount Nei burn, Lord Archibald Hamilton, Sir Willi lin Maxwell of Calderwood and Lady, Henry Mon teith, Esq. M.P., Archibald Campbell, E-q. of Blythswood, M.P., Kirkman Finlay, Esq. and Lady, Missls Dirom, &c. &c. Madame Catalan' gave the air" Al dolce Canto," with peculiar taste and effect. Her cadence upon the word " Sere nem," was inexpressibly fine. The variations were given with that wonderful flexibility of voice which distinguishes this Lady. In the lower tones there is a remarkable fullness and sweetness. Mrs. Salmon sung with great effect, sweetness and feeling "•0 softly sleep my baby boy." The other performers did full justice to their respec tive parts, particularly Mr. Braham. The instru mental performances were executed in a masterly style. Signor Spagnoletti' displayed his usual precision and brilliancy. The whole went off with great eclat, and gave the utmost. satisfac tion.—(Glasgow Courier, Dec. 4.) We hear that ten ships belonging to Hull are to abandon the Greenland trade ; and nine be longing to that port alone have been lost this year. Great reductions have taken place there in the wages of the masters as well as of the crews. It appears the trade has been overdone; and we believe we may venture to say, that half the number of ships, with the exertions and suc cess we have seen for some years, is . fully equal to the natural demand of the country. It is in vain to look to the foreign markets, for foreigners are prosecuting the fishery extensively, and it would seem profitably, no less than 40 sail hav ing been at Greenland last season. In the course of a few years, a total change will have taken place in this branch of business.--(Abcrdeen Journal.) THE ARMY. Orders went down last night to put on perma nent duty 600 m'n of the Brigade of Yeomanry in the County Armagh, of which CO. BLACKEFt. Is the senior Officer. The pfoportions frcim - the different corps are as follow :—Seagoe, 4200 ; Lurgan, 150 ; Tanderagee, 150; Portadown, 100 ;—in the whole 600 ;--besides a proper .al lowance of officers and sedeants,—The berry Yeomanry, to the amount of . 400,, .have volun teered their services to Government . ; in any, way they can be found useful in the present disturbed state of the country.—The Moy Corps of Yeo manry, to the number of 106 rank and file; ,have also volunteered their services.—(Du3lin Patriot, Dec. 3.) TL7A3I, Nov. 21.—The gallant General Sir Jous ELLLY, h. C. 8., after inspecting all the cavalry in the Munster District, has just finished his half-yearly inspection of the troops in his own (the Connaught) district, and appears well satis fied with the state of efficiency in which he found the several regiments under his orders. On Tuesday last, he inspected, at 'Castlebar, the 63:1 regiment, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel C. 8., and expressed his high approba tion of their appearance, manceuvres, and disci pline in every respect, which compliment this very effective corps well deserves. Monday morning last, the first division of the 55th Regiment . embarked at Gravesend for the Cape of Good Hope, on board the Balcarrasln diaman. The second division embarked on Tues ,day, on board the David Scott, for the same place. The first division of the 49th Foot also embarked on Monday, at Gravesend, for the Cape, and will be followed by the remainder of the regiment as speedily as possible. On Wednesday the horse artillery moved from the temporary barracks at Glasgow to the newly erected horse barracks, near Port Eglinton. The head quarters of the cavalry in this district are, in future, to be at Glasgow, and not at Hamilton, where only one troop will be quartered.—(Edin burgh Courant.) ERCA NT I LE SHIPPING, &c.

She was in the Herring Fishery, and had a quantity of fish in barrels. The sloop Ann, Nicol, was cast away on Tuesday night on a rock oft' Plocktoure ; she was partly laden with wool and furniture, which was completely damaged. DUMFRIES, DEC. t.—On Saturday morning we had the heaviest gale of wind from the W. we ever remembered here. The schooner Latona, .tones, of Bristol, upset on the Point of the Cause'Bank ; crew saved. The vcssel is on her beam ends on the Bank ; but if the weather keeps moderate, hopes are en tertained of saving her. Many vessels are ashore, but none with great damage. TILE MARKETS, ,S-c. PETERSFIELD MICHAELMAS CATTLE FAIR. As the following observations on this Fir (which are taken from among other miscellaneous articles just published by Mr. AbseilLs, of Petersfield, with the A lmanacks sold by him,) may not be uninteresting to Defilers, we have thought proper to insert them : " For the last two years a Fair for Cattle and Sheep has been attempted in the beginning of October, on Petersfield Heath, which promises to become one of the largest marts for liVe stock in the country. It was well attended the first year ; but in Oc. toberaast, the slim of Sheep in particular exceeded expecta tion; about six thousand Sheep were penned, of 'which the greater part soon found purchasers. There were both years some hundreds of Devon, Welsh, and other Cattle, which, in general, sold very well, and there were also some good Horses. To those who knew the spot on which this Fair is held, it would be superfluous to say a word as to its eligibility ; but strangers may be told, without exaggeration, that it is the most con• venient and eligible piece of ground which could be selected for the purpose in this part of the country ; not only becaustt of its great extent, and contiguity to the Town of Petersfild (which are no small advantages) but also on account of its local situa tion with regard to the great Sheep and Cattle Fairs held an nually at Overton and Ewell ; and, above all, the convenience and accommodation it will be to the numerous breeders of stock in the, adjoining county of Sussex.—The Sheep are sitewn to much advantage in a large field belonging to Mr. Samuel Andrews, adjoining the Heath, where he kindly permits them to be penned. • In short this Fair promises very soon to' equal, if not outvie, its cotemporaries above mentioned, and reflect credit on its projectors, to whose names it will be a lasting n:e• morial.
