• TREATY BETWEEN TILTONAPAIITF AND •FERDINAND VII. The follovting version:of-the above transaction conies from Lord: Wellington's head-quarters, and is suppoTed to be collected from the communica-, tions on the subject, transmitted to the Noble Mfir qhess by the-Spanish Government. Buonaparte is now well - known to have been, Jong'eneditating the stratagem which he has lately endeavoured to play off against Ferdinand, and he imagined that he had reached the moment when it was fully ripe for execution. The instruments he employed in executing it were the Duke del St. Carlos, a Grandee of Spain of the first class, and Gen. Clarke, we believe the now soi-disant Duke tic Feltre. It happened that the Duke dcl Carlos was at the moment in Switzerland, where Buonaparte bad permitted hint to reside for some time. 'He' orderfd an express to be sept for him. , We must here obser‘vei that the Duke del Carlos was taken' with Ferdinand at Bayonne, and that he has sirtce, been a companion of Ferdinand's _captiVity.. But it is more essential to the present purpose, _to . re- mark that he was known to posseSs an extraordi-, nary degree of influence over Ferdinand's It is well known also that Buonaparte has fora. length of time employed persons evho have inces santly inculcated on Ferdinand's fears, that the pretended exertions of the English, for,what they called the vindication, of the independence of Spain, was only a cloak to their secret design of seizing on the country far themselves. It is said, that Ferdinand listened to these insidious suggestio'ns, and yielded accordingly._ The Duke del Carlos was then appointed Negociator on the part of Ferdinand, and General Clarke on the part of Na poleon, and they were sent to the Chateau de Val leney .to draw up articles, and to have the Treaty signed. The substance of the condition was, that, 'in resuming the supreme authority in his domi nions,'Ferdinand should make an alliance with Buonaparte, and drive the English from Spain, Cents,. and Mahon. TIIE WEATHER. Lord SIDMOUTU, by.order of the PRINCS RR GNNT, has addressed a' Circular Letter to the Lieutenants of the respective counties throughout, the kingdom, exhorting them to resort to effec tual means for restoring, as much as possible, the accustomed facility of communication bettyeen London and the - several parts of the interior, so essential to the interests of all, and for. alledating 'the diStress , which large and meritorious classes of the. people have - suffered by the necessary suspen sion of their usual employments at this severe season. _ Notwithstanding the rapidity .of the thaw, it cannot he expected that the communications with the country can be regular for some time to come. The roads having been a solid sheet of ice, are n6w full of holes through to the ground, so large and deep as to render it-dangerous for a carriage to drive over them. The course of la-t,t night pre sented all the varieties of frost, rain, and snow. The road from Puckeridge to Buntingford, on the Huntingdon road, is a complete river ; and, for the last two days, passengers, for their own safety, have been obliged, to wade through, for, the ground is so broken, that it is next to' impossible to keep the :Oath on the wheels. Beyond Royston, the coacimien go oven some ploughed ground for .several hundred yards, as the road is quite broken up. The road from Royston to Cambridge is also 'impassable ; and . the Cambridge coachmasters have laid by their coacheS, rather than subject the coachmen and passengers to risk their lives. The low grounds, all the way to Carlisle, are very had,: It is not too much to state, that it is ainiracle for the coaches on the north road to travel 60 miles with out going over. The York mail went over at Huntingdon on Wednesday morning, but no par ticular injurywas sustained. The mails were se veral hours behind their time in going down yes terday. The western road is also very bad. A letter from Warwick states, that an intelli gent Magistrate had suggested the expediency of the Justieei of the Peace in their respective di visions, being -called upon to issue precepts to the Parochial Surveyors, in order that the labourers who had no work should be employed on the roads at two, shillings per day, - and ,that the several parishes should be responsible to the Quarter-S Se'ssions for -their own boundaries. The Chief Constable of each Hundred being ordered. to su perintend and to report accordingly. METEOROLOGIC.9L JOURNAL BY It. BANKS, PHILOSOPHICAL INSTRUMENT MAKER, STRAND. .• . I i \Veather.

A few days ago three recruits of the Artillery, accompanied by a young woman, set out from Stockport to Buxton on their way to head-quar ters, when night overtook theta. The woman, within h few miles of Buxton, complained of cold, and urged her companions to make the best of their way, and procure a chaise, as she found herself unable to walk much farther, they dill so—but two only had power to reach Buxton. On returning, they discovered the body of their comrade lying in the snow, and had proceeded but a short way when that of the woman was also found—the spark of life being extinct, they were both interred in Buxton Church-yard, on Thurs day. EDUCATION OF TilF, POOR. On Tuesday last a very 'interesting scene was exhibited at .the. Central School (I3aldwin's Gar dens, Gray's,lontlane), the National Society for the Education of the Poor in the principles of the Established Church. It was the half-yearly' public examination of the children, who displayed a knowledo of . their religious and moral duties, a proficieuey in writing and arithwetiC, that ex cited the astonishment and adMiration of the com pany. The Duke Of YORK., who honoured the exami nation with his,presence, 'toOk a lively interest in the business 'of the day. His Royal nightie:SS was at t d eit by— Gen:A.-al:Calvert and colonel Gordon, and was met by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishops of Luticlou; Exeter, Carlisle, Chester; P.ight lion. Sir John: Rev. Archdeacon Pott, Rev. Archdeacon Cambridge, Rev. Dr. Bell ; the ingenious and benevolent Inventor of the Ma dras System cif Teaching, Dr. Carey, Mr. Russel; the Head Master of the Charter-House, Lady Nichol, Nlrs.'Fisher,,Mrs. P. Fisher, Mrs. Carey, and several ,Members of the Coin matte. From the extensive and rapid progress which this system of education is making throughout the kingdom, we may confidently anticipat a very gratifying improvement in the 'religious and moral - char:ft:ter of the people ; and we may hope that, under Providence, these blessings Will not be con fined to ourselves, but that we shall , be the means vf conveying the pure doctrines of Christianity, as . exemplified in the beautiful fabric- ot . our Esta blished Church, to the remotest earners of the globe., The progress made by the children of both sexes within the last half year has been very great. When the examination was finished, the !mar& were distributed by:-the Duke of I r oilK mid. the ARAIIIntsHor. Dr. RELL's experiment of conducting education by encouragement; by rousing a spirit of emula tion and by rewards, in opposition to the plan of carrying it on by servile fear ?Ind cruel punish ments, has now been fairly tried, and the most, complete success justifies the propriety of the measure. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, J. 48. Upon the suggestion of the ATTOTNEY-GENE RAL the Nisi Prins Sittings in London to-morrow, (this day,) were postponed- acceunt of the State of the strec:ts, which Lord ELLENBCYROUoIi said, would prevent the parties and witty asses from attending the tours. Er-parte WILLIAM STURMAN. Mr. GASELEk moved for a habeas carpi and cer tiorari to discharge a party committed to prison upon defective examinations, under a . charge of setting his house on fire in Half-moon-street.— He did this _upon an exculpatory affidavit of the party himself, going to prove an alibi, hut it . was not corroborated, and did - not state wl.erein his examinations were insufficient. Lord ELLENEOROUGH said, a foundation must be laid for an application . to find a flaw in the Magistrate's examinations. If Abe Court were-to take facts from prisoners; nobody would ever be committed to gaol. COURT OF CHANCERY, JAN. 28. [BEFORE THE VICE- CIIANCELLORI ASSIGNEES OF TIIICKEY, A BANKRUPT, V. ROUNDS This was the case of a bill filed by the assig nees of the bankrupt under a second commission, against the solicitor in that commission, to com pel him to account for the rents and• profits of certain real estates which belonged to the bank rupt, and to have these estates sold. _ ' It appeared that the bankrupt had been inti tied to part of these estates in right of .his wife, wbo had joined her husband in a demise of' the estates for 1000 years, to secure a suns of money borrowed Uy the- husband. This mortgage had been purchased by the solicitor, who also, upon the bankruptcy of the husband, 'purchased the equity of redemption from the.assignees to whom 'the estates had been conveyed by baygain and sale in the usual manner. A second commission hav ing for some reason or other been taken out, and new assignees chosen, they filed- the present bill,—upon the ground chiefly that tke equity of redemption ought to he given up by the solicitor, on payment to him of the sum which he had ad vanced for it, because, he being solicitor oneer the commission, \could not, according to •a well known rule in equity, be a purchaser of the bank-, rupt's interest. It was, however, answered and objected on the part of the defendant, that this cause could not proceed further at present, „for two reasons, Ist, because the wife was not a party, who cer tainly Ought to have been - so, ass the bankruptcy of the husband could not conclude ,her interest; she therefore was entitled to be prese n t at taking the accounts. 2dly, Because, the . fo - rmer" assig nees, or the survivor of them, if aliVe, or the heir'af law of the,survivor,, LI they were ,both dead, ought to have hecri parties or a party, in. astnuch as, by the bai•Oin and sale, the legal estate was • iii these assignees, the' survivor of them, or the heir at law ; and the bargain and sale had not been vacated. The Vice-CHANCELLOR thought the objections well founded, and the cawse was stopped till the bill should be amended by adding the proper parties.

Kensington, they observed three men lurking about, and had' no doubt that,a c.haiSe cart which was there belonged to them ; they therefore kept a sharp look out upon them. At the time the Exeter coach was passing they observed the three men run after it, and one or more of them got up behind ; directly after they, beard the noise of something falling into the road; they, in consequence, ran towards the spot, and came up to a man with a large parcel on his shoulders ; they stopped him, and had no doubt but the parcel had been taken from the coach, but it had got to too great a distance to enable them ascertain the fact. Yesterday the man was examined at Bow-street, when he said his name was Thomas Williams. He was committed for further - examination. On the night of thelsth inst. airs. Sarah Wil liams hired the hackney-coach,. No. 05, to take her front Nelson-square, ' Blackfriars-road, to Crown -court, nidor-street, Blackfriars, and took with her two 'boxes, two bundles, and a tea chest, which contained bank-notes and cash, to the amount of about 121. She stationed her daughter at the corner of Crown -court, to watch and take care of the things left in the coach, while the coachman was carrying part of them to the house she was going to. The _coachman_ told illrs. Williams he had brought every thing into the house ; , but in a few minutes after he was goneshe discovered that he had not brought in her tea-chest; which contained 121., and as he had said he had searched the coach, she had no doubt but he must have wilfully"taked .?t away. After some inquiry, she traced the driver to be James Savage, and had him taco into custody. On. Thursday evening he 'underwent 'an examination at BoW-street, when - be denied being the driver 'ofahe coach . on the night described, buesaid, it was his brother ; however, in this' he was con tradicted by 'Thomas Smith, another hackney coachman, who stated, that he was on the stand Blackfriars-road on ,the night described by- the prosecutrix, when witness's coach was the follow,- . ing one to the prisoner's, and he recollected a man calling the prisoner to a job in Nelson's-square. -He was committed for further examinations The money was the savings of the prosecutor for seve ral years. • ." MANstoN-nousE.---Yesterday two 'little boys, of the names of Mod and Ifuteit,i_ns, neither of 'thew twelve years of age and seemiogly much younger, were brought before the LORD .I‘.lvon, r charged with having broken . a pane of glass, - in the shop -of Mr, Pluck. ; of, Bishonsgate-street, and tealing a silk handkerchief, and (a quantity of. lace. The father of Hutchins stated to his Lordship, that his son had been three years at the Cordwain ers.School, whence he had been, dismissed a few days ago, on acconatti ' bad conduct. To prevent his going into the str tS, and being guilty of the ' practices, with avhich . e was tic:maaged, he had yesterday locked up his shoes ; but in his absence, the boy bad dragged art old pair from tinder the bed, had gone out, and committed the offence for which he now appeared before - his Lordship. He had applied to the Marine Society to receive the boy, which they had declined; and thought, that if he were sent to sea, there might be some chance of his reformation. His Lordship ordered both the boys to be taken,to Captain Itichbell, Regu lating 'Captain, on Tower-hill, requesting he .would use his endeavours, that they might be use fully employed in his Majesty'S service. John Dowling was charged • before the Logo 'MAYOR by a Recruiting Serjeant of Marines, with having fraudulently imposed upon him, by taking bounty money in his Majesty's name, and putting him to other expense, though be was an invalid, haviag been discharged as unfit for service. The LORD MAYOR asked the prisoner what he had' to• say for himself ? lie did not deny having enlisted, or having baen formerly invalided ; but bait' he was now quite well again, aad fit for 'ser-' vice. The serjeant was ,asked if the surgeon bad examined him ; the serjeant confessed he had not. The LORD alivolt desired he might be examined, before he could judge of the charge of fraud prac tised upon hint. , . .
