In our preceding columns we have given va rious important extracts from the French *TOUT- nals' of Thursday and Friday, Frankfort Papers, and Madrid Journals to the 7th. The latter 'Journals contain a variety of details respecting the insurrections on the line of the Pyrenees, and it is expected that the energetic measures adopted by the Government for their suppression will shortly be crowned with success.—The intelli gence respecting the question between Russia and Turkey is of a warlike character, with the exception of an article from Vienna and another from Aix-la-Chapelle, which hold out hopes of the continuance of peace. We fear, however, that the*e - hopes will not be -realized, fur it is scarcely possible that the Emperor ALEXANDER can' withdraw • his demin . ds in lota, and the n:AsrSiiciswit, it is sell known, still persists in refusing the slightest concession.

The follow ing are extracts :-- FROM PIOLADELeRIA, APRIL 12.—A Gentleman who has arrived in town from Pernambuco, confirms, that it was the general opinion there, that the Brazilians would soon de clare themselves independent of Portugal, and that several Europeans, friendly to royalty, and who had expressed them. selves warmly against shaking off' the Mother Country, had been massacred. [Extract c/a Letter from Halifax, April 4.] At the - moment the Americans are straining every nerve to obtain a share in the trade of the British West India Islands, and that his Majesty's Government are about to second their views, by relaxing its long established Navigation Laws, to which both the Mother Country and her Colonies are so greatly indebted for their prosperity, a Resolution is actually before the American Senate, to institute an inquiry into the expediency of prohibiting, by heavy duties, the importation of foreign Spirits into the United States ; this measure is strongly advo cated by several respectable members of that body, and is cal culated to defeat entirely the sanguine hopes of the West India Planters in that branch of the trade.—Among the Acts lately passed by our Assembly is one for an excise duty on goods, wares, and merchandize imported, and another for amending and continuing the several Acts imposing a duty on articles im ported from the United States. • It appears from an official statement, printed by order of the House of Commons, that two debts of Austria to this country at present amount to ten million six hundred and one thousand nine hundred andfifty-fire pounds ! This large amount includes the accumulations of interest on the loans raised for the service of Austria in the years 1795 and 1797, the whole oftiehichinterest has been paid by Great Britain, notwithstanding the pOsitie engagement of. Austria " regularly to discharge the half-yearly dividends," and to " secure the repayment of the loans on the revenues of the hereditary dominions of his Im perial Majesty !" The interest alone forms four million three hundred and eighty-one thousand nine hundred and ffty ; five pounds, five shillings ! There is a further debt of two millions, contracted by Austria in 1800, the interest of which was to be paid it the expiration of six months following the conclusion of peace, • arid the gradual redemption of the principal to be effected by an appropriation for that purpose. No part of these two millions has bcen.paid ! We are astonished at the supineness of Go vernment, in not enforcing the payment of these large demands, the discharge of which was undertaken by solemn conventions. We can - very well suppose that the efforts made by Austria against the common enemy have incapacitated her from Paying off die entire suit]. But surely - she might have liquidated some part of it, or hazie paid the interest, or at the least some part of the interest ! It cannot be forgotten that she found means to move hey armies upon Naples ! IRELAND,--Du.Thurstiay a 'Meeting was held. at the Mansion-house, Dublin, for relieving the starving pea santry of the South. On the following day the subscription amounted to near four thousand pounds.—A Meeting of the County of Cork has been called for the same benevolent pur pose by the Sherifr r —The pipers this morning Mention a number of outrages, some of them of a very cruel and feroci ous description. At Drogheda fair, on the 15th instant, year ling heifers sold for twenty shillings a head. A letter from..Tersey, dated May 11, says,—_ " It will be recollected that last year the. English and Jersey oyster fishing-boats were much obstructed and annoyed by the French •armed vessels, on various pretences of encroachment, tint in reality to destroy the Jersey oyster trade altogether, and thus oblige the English oyster companies to obtain their sup plies from France. The,' French authorities have again sta tioned vessels of war on the banks discovered by the Jersey fishermen in 1797, and adopted hostile measures, by firing in time of peace on English shipping, and chasing them within the rocks that surround Je rse y. These hostile proceedings }lave attracted the attention of the Jersey States, and a Petition has been vOted to his lIIAJEsTY in Council. These oyster banks are situated between Jersey and the opposite coast of France, stretching from Cape Rozel to the rocks called the Minquais, a' few miles to the north-west of the small isle 9f Chausey, between one and • three leagues from . the French shore. The fishery is now in a fl our i s h ing state. It occupies, during four months of the year, upwards of 30Q fishing smacks, manned by nearly two thousand British seamen, gives employ ment.fo near one thousand of the poor inhabitants of the eastern coast of the island, and is, in many other respeCtS, of general utility td the country." His MAJESTY, as he passed to his box on Friday night at Covent-Garden Theatre, ob serving Mr. FAWCETT, greeted the Performer very kindly, and graciously signified that he was not aware that Mr. FAWCETT'S benefit took place on the preceding• Wednesday, as otherwise he would certainly have chosen another night for his visit to Drury-Lane Theatre. In consequence of the idle reports which con. tinue to be circulated, we deeM it necessary again to state that there i 3 not the slightest foundation for the statement of an intended marriage on the part of our SOVEREIGN.—(Morning Post.)

THE ;TH EATRES.- KJ - No's TIfEATgE.—The Opera, entitled °tell°, brought forward for the benefit of Madame CA MPOREE, was performed for the second time on Saturday last, and altogether well received. We have nothing to add to our previous account , of the Opera, except to say that the respective! Performers were more settled in their parts, and therefore displayed more ease and spirit. • The Duchess of KENT was the only part of the Royal Family present, but there was a large assem blage of the Nobility and the fashionable world in general. DR UR Y•LANE.—As the melancholy state of the Irish Peasantry seems to have excited the benevolent feelings of all classes of the people, and as the profits of the performances at Drury- Lane Theatre on Saturday last were to be ap propriated to their relief, it was to be hoped that the Public in general would have displayed an eager spirit of philanthropy, and that they would have flocked to the Theatre on so laudable au occasion ; " For then would calm reflection bless the night " When liberal Pity dignified delight, " When Pleasure tied her torch at Virtue's flame, " And mirth was bounty with an humbler name." It was nit only to be hoped, but to be . expected, that such a generous p a t ronage . would -have marked the occasion, as the theatrical entertain ments were , in themselves calculated to draw at tention by the prospect of pleasure, -All-these reasonable anticipations, however, proved delu sive, and there was but a scanty audience*, consi dering the cause, and the abilities with which it was supported. The play was the Comedy of John . Bull, and : Mr. J oniisTosE, who has, a6= quired a good fortune by his extraordinary comic powers, and who has preserved it with discretion, quitted his well-earned retirement, and volunteered his services on this' meritorious occasion in the part of Dennis Brulgruddery, a part which he had always performed with excel lence that defied competition. Nothing could exceed the'acclamations of applause with which he was welComed by the audience as soon as he appeared on the. stage ; and though by all ac counts nobody'cau possess a firmer mind, yet he was obviously deeply affected by these zealous and reiterated tributes of popular regard.— It may be truly said that the spirit of his performance amply requ,ited the audience for this liberal reception of an actor. who had so often delighted them, and who, in addition to his' general merits in his profession, was the very best representative of the higher or lower Irish characters that perhaps has ever appeared before the public. Mr. DOUTON was another of those liberal Performers who came forward in support of the laudable cause. lie also was very warmly received by the audience, and he performed the part of Job Thornberry with all that natural fire and forcible humour for which his acting is dis tinguished. Mr. RUSSELL, too, kindly enlisted himself in the service of humanity, and was very warmly received in the part of Torn Shujjletow. The rest of the, characters were ably supported by Mr. COOPER, MTS. W. WEST, Mrs. GLOVER, arid the other Performers who belong to the Theatre. At the end of the Play, Mr. JonsisToNE, with all his original humour, sung the history and misfortunes of the Brul l gruddery . family, and received, as he with drew, an ardent repetition of that applause which had welcomed him on his first appearance. A Concert followed the Play, and was admirably supported by the respective talents of BRAHAM, Madame VESTRIS, Mrs. B LAND , Mi ss POVEY, MISS FORDE, Miss CUBITT, MISS COPELAND, and Signor AMBROGETTI, all of whom received and deserved zealous marks of approbation.—The Farce was Two Strings to your Bow, and Murt- DEN, by the animation of his performance in Lazarillo, proved that he was proud of the op portunity of giving his support to the, cause of hucnanit CHRISTENING OF THE INFANT DAUGHTER OF LORD AND LADY STEWART.—On Saturday the infant datghter of Lord and Lady Stewart was baptized by the Bishop of Lin coln, at their house in St. James's-square, _on which occasion a ' ' most sumptuous dinner was given, at which were present= Prince and Princess Esterhazy, the Duke of Wellington, Count and Countess Munster, Count and Countess Lieven, the Mar quis and Marchioness of Londonderry, the Marquis and Mar chioness of Camden, Lord and Lady Howden, Lord and Lady Ravensworth, Colonel and Lady Caroline Wood, Mrs. Pel ham, Mr. A. Stewart, &c. In the evening her Ladyship gave a splendid rout ; the drawing-rooms were superbly illuminated. To enumerate the company would be to name most of the lead ing and distinguished fashionables in town. The blind of his Lordship's regiment (the 10th Hussars), were stationed in the hall, who performed martial and other music during the evening. COJaT OF KING'S BENClU—(rais DIY.)
