[We can only give a short abstract, it being very long.] the Peninsula, It would be a proof of the ignorance and imhecillity of her Government if it had deter mined otherwise. What becomes, then, of the assurances that were so repeatedly given, that if a w r should break out, Great Britain would Preserve a strict neutrality ? If she could indeed be . betrayed into such a resolution, she would see in Inactt • . vity a war carried on, which would be direct ed not less against her interests and her power, t han against the Constitutional Government ° f Spain. We alluded on Saturday to a retrac tl°ll made by a respectable Evening Paper, of So me assertions which it had advanced on this a akiect, with an appearance of having derived its . °Pinions from authority. It will be seen that nearly all the Paris Papers have concurred in I mpeaching its statements, and ridiculing the h iconsistency of its inferences. For our own Part, we have pursued au uniform, and, where s ° mans important interests, private as well as national, were implicated in every impression c ommunicated to the public mind, we hope with a Cautious and a correct course ; and with °lA boasting of the sources from which we have drawn our information, or our opinions, we l 'ust that they have been satisfactory to our 4eaders. StIN-OrricE, One o'Clock.—We suspend our ° bservations, in order to give insertion to.the fol lo-iw:ng, just received PARIS, DEC. 7.—The Council of Ministers a ssembled to day at the Marquis of Lauristons, Minister 'of the Household of the It is announced that a Royal Ordinance calls il lto activity the young men (dispensible) of the► Year 1821. We learn by letters from Perpignan, that the 41 °nient the Constitutional troops under Mina ap- Proached ,the limits of the Spanish territory, the F rench soldiers placed on that part of the terri t°rY saluted them 'by. repeated cries 'of " Long live• the King !"—" Long live the Bourbons !" The same letter announces that a traveller, 'ho barLarrived from Madrid, informs, that the Provinces which he passed through were filled \tint Guerillas of the Royalists. :The Cabinet Courier Carnio passed Bourdeaux " the 27th Nov., on his road to Paris ; he left adrid on the 22c1, and was stopped twice in his road by the soldiers of Merino in the environs ° f Lerma, and by another troop of Royalists at k ondracron. 2 'We publish the following letter, which is a k ind of Bulletin of the military operations of i hren d'Eroles since the 15th Nov. to the 28th : Extract of a Letter from an Officer attached to the Staff of " Aux, Nov. 28.--,On the 15th of this month th ere was an affair at Puebla, which lasted two hours, and the' Baron d'Eroles, who had headed t he' army, yielded to the numbers, his division b eing badly armed, and without bayonets; be r etired on Gerry at the end of the action.

The Congress of, Verona was dissolvpl on the 26th of No vember. Its result, has been to leave Spain- to. France,—the Greeks to the Turks,—the Turks to the Russians—the Nexpo litans and the PiednionteSe to Austria,—axd England to Met ternich ! Russia has a strait road and a sure, game before her; and the Emperor Alexander Will doubtless in good tine give his Holy Allies an account of his travels, dated from the Seraglio ! Austria already holdS the stakes for which she played at Troppau and Laybach. Indeed the accounts from Poland and Russia say that Alexander has strengthened his armies. The Porte also has retained the Asiatic troops, and has kept all her forces on the war footing„and is besides, negociating a loan.— It is certain that Turkey will be forthwith _attacketll—The King of Prance has called out forty thousand of the Conscripts for 1822.. He has now denianded, for the third time, but on this occasion in his own name, the concessions from the Cortes at Madrid which haVe been refused to the AllieS. If they are again rejected, it is the resolution of his Government that Spain shall be immediately • invaded. , The advance of the French army, therefore, may be considered as a thing determined.— , Still, until a blow be actually struck, it is possible that hostili ties may yet averted. The following is an extract of a private-letter received yes terday : " Paris, Wednesday Afternoon. " Dispatches were sent off to Madrid on Monday evening last, as well as on Stmday-; the Ministetial Journals circulate the opinion that war will depend upon the answer received, and of course that nothing hostile, except in the way of pre paration, will be done until that answer is obtained.. In the mean time, speculation has been very busy as to the nature of the requisitions on the part of France, and in the political circles here ; they are said to be the following, and are spoken of with much confidence.:— " 1. The' restoration of the King to his personal freedom, without delay ; for it is now distinctly underatood, that he is in a state of confinement in his palace of the Retiro. " '2. The restoration of the King'to his sovereign rights. " 3. Such a change in the Constitution of Spain as snail give to the Nobles a great share of the power they possessed under the old regime. " 4. The exclusion of the present Ministers from office, or, at least, most of the Heads of the different Departments. " 5. An amnesty for all persons, Of whatever rank, engaged in the cause of the Regency. A " 6. A snore strict regulation of the laws relating to the Press. _ " 7: The possession of certain strong places on the frontiers of France, as a guarantee for the performance of any undertak ing into which the Spanish Government may enter. " These articles have been handed about in a printed shape, together with various arguments upon them, but they have not yet found their way into any of the newspapers. " It seems that the warlike preparations are continued to put Spain in an attitude of defence. We have private accounts from Madrid of the 25th ult. by which we collect, that there had been some further angry discussions in the Cones on the state of the relations with France, and on the proceedings of the Congress. The War Minister has been empowered to summon to the standard of their country all the friends of li berty. Madrid papers contain the proceedings of various public societies on the subject, all of them calling upon the Govern ment to act with energy and decision. It does not appear that the resolutions of the Cortes were carried by any great majo rity, and the equality of the balance produced a great de gree of personal rancour. The Minister at War, aided by the Minister of the Interior, had adopted a course without delay, conformable to the wishes of the National Repre sentatives." This morning, at ten o'clock, there was nothing on the Board of Lloyd's but two pages full on the books of losses : [Further Account.l From the Board of the New England Coffee-house, Liver pool, Dec. 7 :—The Ellesmere and the Runcorn steam-packets were run down by a flat daring the gales, and 9 persons were drowned. Off this port this evening the Dido, Bliss, from Philadelphia. A true bill was on Saturday returned by the Middlesex Grand Jury, on an indictment pre ferred by the Constitutional Association against JouN Hum., for a libel in the 45 Liberal," called the Vision of Judgment. ' THE THEATRES. DRURT-LANE.—The -Opera of Artaxerxes, so highly creditable to the genius, taste, and science of our countryman, Dr. MINE, was bronght for ward at this Theatre on Saturday last. The chief novelty was the performance of Mandane byMrs. AUSTIN. Hee talents are much better suited to characters in common life than to those of a higher order, and Mandane in some degree par takes of the heroic. However she acquitted her self at least respectably. She received much ap plause in her songs, and was encored in "The Sol dier tied." Her delivery of the recitation was. ex pressive. Mr. BRAIIAM has so often been seen in Arbaces, that it is only necessary,to say that he sustained the part with his usual science, taste, and energy. A judicious morning Critic has said, that this part was originally' written for a female. Ile' is mistaken; the part was designed for TENDUCCT, who first performed it, and whose manner of singing " Water paried from the Sea" was so much admired, that it in a great degree cOntributed to the • popularity of the Opera, and was the favourite air in all private families at the time. There was a print of TENnucct, published soon after, with the music of this song in his hand. - Miss PovEY 'gave more importance to Semira than has been usual. Mr. lloaNE was oppressed by a cold, yet he rendered Artabanes a prominent character. Whatever merit Mrs. VESTRIS might display in the part of Artaxerxes, we wish that the practise of putting females in male characters were abolished. It totally destroys the interest of the fable, which is one of the chief gratifications attendant on the drama. The farce, of Old and Young again presented Miss CLARA FISHER before a numerous audience, to the whole of whom she afforded great amuse ment, and from whom she derived much and well merited applause. COVENT-GARDEN.--We : have nothing to add respecting the Opera of Maid Marian, which was repeated here on Saturday, and very well received. The afterpiece was The London Hermit, a whimsical play, written by O:KEEPTI. 3 reduced into a Farce of two acts. • JACK JOHN.. STONE, as be is generally styled, was the original representative Of Tully, the gardener, and was the chief support of the piece. This character was re presented on Saturday by Mr. CONNOR, who dis played' so much merit in The Irish Tutor that his probable success in Tully, which he gave with great humour, might naturally lead to the revival of this almost forgotten Play. The Farce is also well sup ported by JONES in Young Pranks, F AwcETT in Whimmey, and Miss FOOTE in Kitty Barleycorn. The Play has been so judiciously curtailed that all the more diverting passages are preserved, and the Farce altogether is likely to be very popular. Saturday dispatches were received at the Se cretary of State's Office for Foreign Affairs, Downing-street, from the Duke of WELLINGTON ; notice of which was sent to all the Cabinet Mini sters in London for them to attend the Office to peruse them. .Copies of them were sent, in offi cial boxes, to the Cabinet Ministers who were a short distance from town. A Leeward Islands mail arrived on Saturday. The letters from St. Thomas's, which are dated the 4th of November, are silent respecting the abandonment of Maracaibo by MottALEs, which was stated in The American papers to have taken place on the 19th of September, and if true could scarcely have been unknown at St. Thomas's.— It is stated, however, that three vessels of war, two of them little inferior in strength to frigates, had arrived at La Guayra'from New York, for the service of the golumbian navy, which it was supposed would render them superior in force to the Spaniards at sea, who would then retain little chance of keeping either Maracaibo or Puerto Cavell() itself. Letter from the Cape of Good Hope, dated September 7, was received on Saturday. They describe the injury to the colony from the recent storms to have been very great. Great numbers . of houses and warehouses have been blown down, vineyards swept away, and roads destroyed or rendered impassable. Settlers from A lgoa Bay, among whom were persons originally most san guine in the success of the experiment, continued to arrive at the Cape, having abandoned.all hopes of establishing themselves in that country. The crops of wheat at the Cape having been known to have failed, cargoes of corn were arriving from all parts of the world. Previous to the Duke of CAMBRIDGE leaving England, it was arranged between his Royal Highness and the.Kiso that the latter should visit his Hanoverian dominions at the close of the summer of 1823, after the adjournment of the Session of Parliament. During his MAJESTY'S stay at Hanover, a. Grand State Christening of the young Prince George is to take place, to whom the KING has promised to stand Sponsor. It has been stated in several of the J'apers that the case of Mr. Serjeant ROUGH, late Presi dent of Demerara, as complainant against Gen. MURRAY, the present Governor of that Colony, had been decided on by the PriVy Council ; but this, we understand, is incorrect, and that no opinion on the matter at issue, which relates to the administration. of justice and the privileges of the Courts of Law at Demerara, has yet been given. SOUTHAMPTON, DEC. 7.—The Gobourg Packet arrived at this port on Thursday, with 17 passengers. A strong, feeling prevails in France that we are determined to assist the Spaniards in case of a war. A letter has been received• here, which states, that a skirmish has positively taken place between the French and the Spaniards, on the frontiers, DR. SLATER.—Ire our brief tribute to this Gentleman, on Saturday last, we styled him Mr. SLATER, but we understand that he had obtain ed a diploma, and practised as a Physician many years at Margate with great success, and with a 'zealous and unabated spirit of benevolence, after he relinquished' the profession. Few have . de- parted from this life with a more exemplary character, and whose last moments could be more reasonably consoled with hopes of enjoying the promises of a better. Mr. LARKIN, who is under the tuition of Mr. Bishop, will make his debat at Covent-garden soon after Christmas. Report states that his abilities are of the first description. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

Hyde-Park yesterday afternoon boasted a numerous display of Fashionables. Owing to the prevalence of a north-westerly wind for the last two days, the waters in all the Parks were 'completely frozen over. In St. James's Park, the ice was only of the thickness of 'stout paper ; in the Green Park, that of A half-Crown piece ; whilst in Hyde-Park it was full a third of an inch. • 'MARRIAGE IN HIGH LlFE.—Yesterday, by special licence, at St. James's Church, by .the Loki.

No money was in her pocket, but there was a purse containing upwards of 60 duplicates of articles, chiefly pawned at the east end of the town. The articles were pledged in various names, but the principal one was Lazarus. It does not, how ever, appear that she was a Jeweis. Her age seemed to be about thirty. ROYAL NAVY, &c.
