LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1822. [FROM A CORRESPONDENT.] City, One o'clock.—Towards the close of the Stock Exchange, yesterday afternoon, a current report prevailed that the Declaration of War against Spain was in town, upon which the funds dropped and left off at 811, and the Foreign Funds fell accordingly ; but this morning two Expresses have arrived from Paris, bring ing the French Funds 89 francs, 50 cents, with no warlike intentions against Spain, caused Consols to get up again to 81 s 7 1, but all foreign Securities are very heavy this morning in conse quence of many failures expected. The Paris Journals complain that the official article in the .illoniteur still leaves the question of peace or war with Spain undecided ; and cen sure the diplomatic reserve which has furnished them with a disquisition on the right which France possesses of making war, if she shall think proper, instead of a frank avowal of the pacific or the hostile intentions of the Government. But how can the Government make such an avowal, if the Government itself is undecided as to the policy which it may finally adopt, and which depends, probably, less on its own determination, amidst so many cobflicting motives, than on the impulse to be communicated by the resolutions of the Congress MINA has taken Balaguer, the importance of which may he estimated from the consequent re moval of the Royalist Regency to Puycerda. The Seo d'Uurgel itself will probably be soon occupied by the Constitutionalists. The news from Trieste to the 2d inst., an nounces that the Pacha of AItTA has been com pletely beaten by Prince MAUROCORDATO ; and that a Deputation from the Central Government of the Morea had arrived at Ancona, on its way to the Congress of Verona, to implore the pro tection of the Christian Monarchs for Greece. Quebec. Papers to a very late date have ar rived this morning, hut they do not contain any information except several Resolutions past at the Meeting with a disapprobrtion of the unieil of Upper and Lower Quebec. DOVER, NOV. 19.—The Duke of CAMBRIDGE, and the Princess AUGUSTA and suite, arrived at the Ship Inn this morning about eleven o'clock. Owing to the weather being very boisterous, their Royal Highnesses preferred waiting here until morning to the certainty of an unpleasant passage. During the whole of the day the ship has been surrounded by visitors, in the hope of getting a sight of their Royal Highnesses, and during the time of their dinner they were amused by the 'lown Band which played many popular airs with great skill: In the course of the day the Duke walked to the Pier attended by one of the Captains of his Majesty's packets, and about two o'clock their Royal Highnesses visited tile Western Heights and the Castle, and appeared exceedingly delighted with the magnifice.t views which burst upon them at different points of their ride. The taste which was displayed in deco rating the Ship Hotel is highly creditable fo its owners. It is reported in Paris that Lord BYRON in tends to visit that capital. An elegant farewell dinner has been given to Mr. T. MOORE at Paris. Fifty-five persons sat down to a splendid repast at 40 francs each. It is reported in Paris that Lord BYRON intends to visit that capital. STOCKS ONE O'CLOCK. India Stock • . India Bonds 445. 455. South. Sea Stock Old Annuities Ex. Bills 6 9 pr.

" 2. To the military the same right of citizenship ; with their pay punctually discharged, and their accoutrements complete, according to their wants. They may rely on prompt and cer tain promotion, according to their good behaviour. " 3.

" The principal object of this Proclamation is to endeavour to ameliorate the condition of many unfortunate foreigners who are passing a wretched life unmerited, and below that to which their intellectual faculties entitle them.

Ext,•aet of a Letter from St. John's, IVewfaundland, dated October 20. " The dreadful gale of the 15th, noticed in our last commu nication, has been followed on the succeeding day by a dreadful hurricane, exceeding any ever remembered here•before ; and it is feared that the damage done to the shipping at sea must have been very great, as since then scarcely a day has passed without our having had portions of wreck thrown ashore, and, without doubt, the sacrifice of life as well as property has been very great. On the night of the 16th, a sloop was discovered on the rocks, but from the hurricane then blowing, no assistance could be rendered, if it would have been of any avail, and, before morning, all traces of her had disappeared. " The shipping in our harbour has also sustained some very considerable damage, but doubtless not to compare with that done along the coast, as is evident by the wreck cast on shore, which hands us melancholy confirmation of some vessel haw. ing foundered in the gale. A fine schooner, belonging to this port, named the Coasters, which had just taken in a full cargo of provisions for Labrador, by the violence of the wind was forced from her anchors, and driven with great fury on the Pancake, where she bilged. The crew escaped on shore, and hopes are entertained, that, from the immediate assistance rendered by the people on shore, the vessel and cargo will be saved—at least such of the latter as is not damaged—should the weather not again become tempestuous. A schooner bound for New Bruns wick, called the Mary, laden with a full cargo of fish, was, during the height of the gale, totally wreck e d on th e Nar rows. One of the crew perished, but the remainder, with the Master, after being in imminent danger, happily succeeded in reaching the shore. A vessel from Portugal, the name of which we have not ascertained, lost her rudder during the gale, and two other vessels, one a brig, are reported to have been dis masted, but the particulars have not been ascertained. Only one body has been washed on shore, which is ascertained to be that of the man lost on board the Mary. A man, belonging to Flat Island, was drowned just outside the harbour, while in a large boat of Mr. Jefferson's, belonging to that place ; his body has not yet been found. " We are in daily expectation of receiving accounts of the damage done by the gale of the other parts of the coast, which without doubt, must have been considered, as the greatest vio lence of the hurricane appeared to be directed to that quarter." HAT T ON-GARDEN.—BI GA MY.— Wilks, who was a short time since remanded on a charge of bigamy, for the purpose of producing both the 'wives, and procuring father evi dence of the first marriage, was yesterday brought up for re-examination. His brother appeared and reluctantly gave evidence against him. To a question from Mr. HARMER, Soli citor for the prisoner, whether all .the parties were sober when first marriage took place, he replied, " I cannot, indeed, say, Sir ; I will answer for myself, I was not. Mary Whitbread, the second wife, gave the prisoner a most excellent character. He was fully committed. FASIIIONABLE ARRIVALS. The Marquis of Camden, in Arlington-street ; P. D.

An Injunction was this morning moved for by Mr. llAwr, to restrain the defendant from re moving from its present place of exhibition a certain animal called a Mermaid, or a specimen of a dried marine animal representing a mermaid. —lt appeared upon the affidavits that the de fendant had been commander of a ship in which he was interested jointly with the plaintiff. He had sold this vessel at South America, and after wards, with 1,2001., part of the money, had pur. chased the mermaid. Ile was making great profit by exhibiting' it, but refused to let the plaintiff participate in them.—The CHANCELLOR granted the Injunction. Official accounts have been received by way of St. Thomas's, of the taking of Maracaybe by General MORALES, which occurred on the 6th of September, the day originally mentioned.— On his landing at Puerto de Zoleta, the Spanish General was encountered by a detachment of the Colombian troops under the command of Carlos Castelli, and an action took place, in which the latter were defeated, with the loss of about 30 men in killed and wounded, and were compelled retreat before the superior force of the enemy. Lino Clemente, the Governor of Maracaybo, had embarked on board vessels on the lake, together with the principal inhabitant and their valuables. Naval and military aid was preparing in all directions for the relief of Maracaybo, and it was supposed, therefore, that Morales could not maintain his position. Some accounts state, that he had no intention of oc cupying it, and that the plan of the Royalists was to keep a light flying squadron at sea, with a force on board, sufficient for the capture of such places on the coast as would be found worth plundering, keeping Puerto Cavello to leeward, as a place of retreat. Mr. DUNN, the Irish barrister, was met by a friend near Dublin, who asked him where he was going ? Why, said he, that fellow LEARY owes me 301., and I am going to try to make him pay me. Oh! replied his friend, then you are going to Dun-Leary! A country gentleman (Mr. ROD, of Hunts.) had two sons—one fond of hunting, the other of shooting—he was wont to call them Nimrod and Ramrod. A citizen, who had a like number of male issue —the eldest of whom was a fine gentleman, but the other always attentive to business in his father's banking concern—gave to 'his sons the appellations of Count and Discount. The Paris Academy of Sciences, at its meeting i on Monday week, nominated M. BERZELI us an honorary member of the Academy, in the place of the celebrated Dr. Herschel. M.

Enough is left of the plot to be intelligible to the audience, and the characters are in general so well cast, that the piece still excites attention and interest. Mr. C. KEMBLE was all spirit and gaiety in Don John. Miss TREE, for the first time this season, came forward in the second Violetta, as the character is now called, instead of Constantia, and received a very welcome greeting. She acted and sung charmingly, and was encored in an air which she accompanied with castenets and dancing. Miss Lova was the first Violetta instead of Miss lIALLANDE,who is in disposed. Miss LOVE is much improved ,and acquit ted herself very well both in acting and in the songs. FAWCETT, CONNOR, BAKER, and Mrs. DAVEN- PORE, all gave adequate support to the piece. ROYAL - COBURG TIIEATRE.—We mentioned yesterday the great improvements which have been made in this Theatre. They appeared to much more advantage last night, and the new dramatic Pieces were received with great ap plause. Mr. MATTA EWS is the very HOG A RTU of the stage, with now and then, perhaps, a little more of the caricaturist in his pictures than belonged to that celebrated painter. He has a keen eye for the ridiculous, and seems to fasten instinctively on the weaknesses of human na ture, which he has a wonderful faculty of giving out again in all the richness of the original. —He is a very mirror to intellectual defor mities, with this difference, that he does not soften, but exaggerate them in his reflexion.— The eye, and the ear, and the brain, are per fectly dazzled and confounded by the number and rapidity of his imitations ; he whirls the balls of folly as lightly and dexterously about his head as ever the Indian juggler did his balls of brass ; the one flung about his globes till they seemed like a fountain of dropping gold, and the other flies, not from the grave to the gay, but from the fat to the thin, from the fool of grossness to the fool of fashion, from the actor to the orator, without allowing us a moment's respite; a pause would often be a favour to the muscles ; to laugh three hours at a stretch is rather too much for a face of ordinary texture. No tra gedy ever drew more tears than the comicality of Mr. MATTHEWS, and we have seen more than one of his auditors, especially those inclining to be fat, fairly giving up the game, and flinging themselves back on their seats, in defiance of the strait-faced decorum of a dress circle, with over flowing eyes, and faces that actually prayed him to be quiet, and not quite suffocate them with laughter. For our parts, we have laughed heartily enough too at his jokes, but we see something more in him than the mere jester, or we should not have sat down to the task of criticism. He is an artist of the highest order ; and though his materials may not be equal to those of the regular drama, in the execution he stands alone, without rivalry. Those who see nothing in his imitation, but a subject of merri ment for the passing hour, are ungrateful to the instructor, who does more to the cure of folly and affectation, than a thousand decent homilies.— What the Spectator did in his day, Mr. MATTHEWS most assuredly does in the present; he strips off the mask of self conceit, and plays so good naturedly with our follies that he fairly laughs us out of them, while satire, by alarm ing the pride of weakness, would but harden us in error : his object is lofty, though his means of attaining it are humble. In short, we look on him as a moral lecturer, as a Specta tor in action ; and the only fault we can find with him is, that he sometimes wastes his strength on exploded follies, when there is plenty of living matter for him to work on.—(American Paper.) CORN EXCHANGE, Nov. 20. The consequence of contrary winds has prevented the arri vals, except a few vessels with Oats from Ireland. The Wheat trade remains the same as reported on Monday. Barley, Peas, and Beans, remain unaltered in price. The Oat trade conti nues rather heavy, and remains the same as our last price quoted. Importations—Flour 965, Wheat 1,640, Barley 725, Irish 1,680. IRELAND.—We have received the following communication from a Magistrate in the county of Kildare :—" Those parts of the county of Kildare in the neighbourhood of Rathangan, Kildare and Robertstown, have for the last two months been much alarmed, in consequence of large armed parties on foot and on horseback, patroling the country at night, and forcing their oaths of association on every person they can possibly influence to take them. Several have been severely flogged with thorn bushes for re fusing, or uttering a word against the Ribbon system. One man, near Dunmurry, was, within these few days, wounded through the neck with a musket ball, he is likely to recover. We un derstand a considerable armed party was met a few nights since near Rathbride by a patrol of dismounted dragoons, attended by a Magistrate. The party fired on two constables who were in advance, and on the constables returning the fire they all dispersed into an adjoining bog. The night being dark, the troops could not pursue them."----(Freenzan's Journal.) On Sunday last, as Mr. and Mrs. C. lluan, of Kentishtown-house, and one of their sons, were returning from Church in their carriage, one of the horses had got a leg over the traces, which made him kick a little, when a large bull dog near the spot, in Kentishtown, in an instant, sprang like a tiger upon the horse (a valuable one), and the foot passenger in whose possession the dog was, not attempting to draw it from the agonised animal for a considerable time, and the exertions of others to do so being in vain, the horse was so dreadfully bit that its recovery is • not expected. One of the panes of glass was t i dashed to pieces, and the chariot and those within it had a narrow escape
