LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 28, 1824.

By the advice' we yesterday received from Bayonne, it 1
would acem•that the Apostolic ,Junta has not fallen under
do. blow lately struck at its leading members. It is spread-
ing itself iuto 'tedious, and making great efforts under the
sanction of foreign rowers to obtain a preponderance for its
loathsome principka. Among these is included the res-
toration of the Inquisition to the exclusive power of police.
The political prisoners at l'ampeluna have been set free in
consequence of the amnesty ; hut, on the other hand, a
great many others have been imprisoned at Barcelona, and
arrests are made nightly is Madrid under pretence of the
few, but really for liberalism. TFe general state of the
country is eoquently described by two statemors in these,
papers, viz. that Ferdinand is sensible that he never bad
more occasion for the French troops, and that they arc in
actual motion to take up a more concentrated position to
overawe the country. Ouvrard has fled from his treditors
under a safe conduct from t',e Government.

The es:invocation of the Portuguese Cortes is ascribed to
the policy of the British Goveniment ; and we are gravely
told that one object of that design, on our part, is to avert
the storm which is r.wily to burst over us! We were not
before apprehensive of any danger from that quarter, and
we believe it will take some trouble for the Mairid scribes
to terrify us into a sense of our alanning situation.
The yaragrageb respeethvg the !attain of the Spanish'
emigrants at Lisbon is certainly incorrect. Valdes is now
in London, and Alava, we know, was very lately at Gib-
raltar.

Spanish officers, having been conveyed to Lisbon or board of
English vessels, base obtained permission to land. Among the
cumber it is said are, Generals Lopez limn, Palley, Maya, and
liallasteros. It is pretended that a society of rich Enttlish has
been formed fir the purpose of insuring to the refugee Spanish
officers their pay which they enjoyed.
The convocation of the !Arta in Portugal is the general subject
of conciliation. This event may hare very important consequences;
fur ;hod, lion will this measure be looked upon by the Holy Atli.

that to avert the storm which is ready to bunt over itself.
The nightly arrests under the pretexts of the levy continue.
The persons arrested who arc not known Inc liberal opinioos, are,
for the most fart, set at liberty on paying 13 cm 26 piasters. It Is
a real speculation ; however, it is much the same en all the

porting both the above statements, which fully satisfied the
meeting of its probable and almost certain succer.7. The
Marquis of Landsdown, Lord Carberry, the Knight of
Kerry, Mr. Spring Rice, Mr. lintchinson, and several
other gentlemen spoke in favour of the scheme, particularly
as a most beneficial mode of investing capital, of which,
and its numerous advantages, there seemed to lee but one
opinion in the very numerous and respectable assembly.
Several shares were subscribed for at the meeting.

By the last Frankfort papers, dated the 20th instant,
which reached our office yesterday, we find that his Prus-
sian Majesty has adopted a whimsical course for the reduc-
tion of the debts of ilk State. Instead of a regularly opc-
rating
sinking fond, a lottery is to he drawn twice a year, to
determine what public bonds shall be tu.id off. The holders •
'of the numbers drawn will then rcceive the full nominal
amount of their principal. The scheme appears to have.
had a favourable effect on the public securities, which rose
to the unprecedented price of 93, before the official publi-
cation of the royal orthnance. Ilis Majesty has also been
employed in a less gracious duty, that of repressing the
petitions of his Rhenish subjecu. It seems that the com- i
munes were in the habit of juicing together to strengthen
their representations, which were sometimes laid before the
Government "with signatures filling entire sheets of paper."
This course has given great offence to his Majesty, who,
by a Cabinet order, has forbidden it altogether: in future
each commune is to petition for itself alone. The sup-
pression of the complaints of the people, his Prussian Ma-
jeity should remember, will not extingOsh the feelings
from which those complaints proceod. 1 would be more
advisable, we think, if Frederick %Tilsit were, in con-
!bunk:, to his promises, to !once& sortie reasonable kind
of representative system, especially to his Rhenish subjects,
who, lying in the immediate vicinity of France end the
Netherlands, cannot fail to draw the most mortifying com-
parisons as to the state of their civil liberty. When we
bear in mind the petitions, with thousands of signatures,
that have been presented to our own Government and
Legislature, for the same object, aml from ditrerent parts of
the empire in one day, as for instance recently, respecting
p the hate Mr. Smith, the missionary, we cannot refrain from
smiling at the alarm of the King of Prussia, on receiving
the joint petition of a .few communes " with signatures
which fill entire sheets of paper."

BRESLAU, JUNE 15. .1,
A great and important financial *pennon has just taken place
relative to the' debts of the State, of which the following
are theparticulars. Accordirg to the rtgalatino that has hitherto
subdued, the sum atonally paid by the exchequer to the
tinting fund, kr tie purpose of purchsteng public securities, was
expended in purchasing theseeecurities in the market in the course
of Rieder, and thus effecting gradostretlemption. These purchases
are henceforth to cease. His ile,itety has addressed a cabinet ceder
to the commission for the adniimstration of the public debt to the
following effect, that the public securities which are to be redeemed
by the sinking fund legal_y established for that purpose, shall in
future beeletenulned by a lottory every six months, vii. in March
and September. In this manner therefore public securities (or
bonds) to the amount of half a million shall be drawn by a lottery
every half year, and the boldinsehall receive in cash the full nomi-
nal value on the 2el of January and 51 Ju every year, together
with the interest. The list of the mu rs drawnobe will be publish-
ed, and those persons who di not withdraw the value of their num-
bers, will not receive any further intergt for them.
This operation could ot fail to hive a favourable influence on
the public securities, especially a•the original holders of the bootie
or obligations who bought the". at the rate of GO or 70 per cent.
have the advantage, in case their puintams should be drawn, of hie-
ing them paid at the full nominal reline, and thereby gaining, be-
sides the interest, or ad iier sent. ,The consequence is, that even
before the publication of the RoyalOrdinarce in the bulletin of
the laws, the ohligatioaa WCIE in great demand here, and have
risen to N. a value which they never before obtained. There is
little. doubt of their rising still higher. With respect to the other
public securities, the mode of redeeming them hitherto practised is
" for the present," says the Royal Ordinance, to be continued."
The King, we undentaad, will again go to Tr
dam ite fur the sea-
' eon, and afterwards visit n' before returnin to the capital.
The review of the two corps of troops usenab Mg near Breslau
will, therefore, net take place till the beginning of the autumn.

ACabinet ceder of his blajitbe King of Prussia has just
been_publiehed here, to the folio g effect:—
" I bare frequently bad me to observe, that in the Rhenish
provinces the to:nnienes of one district, or of several districts, unite
to make • representation on some affair in which they an all
interested. and then present thsir representations will siena-
tures which till entire sheets of paper. This cannot be done,
except by invitation of s commune, or its Magistrates, to
give in the intended representaiioii; obtaining signatures and

Yesterday we received Nov York and Baltimore Papers
to the Ist inst. On the 27th ult. Congress was adjourned
till the tit of December. We regret to find that the
Treaty lately concluded with the United States, respecting
the Slave Trade, met with the opposition it experienced in
the American Senate. The objections were so strong and
so general, that it was ratified by only a bare constitutional
majoiity, with some modifications, which bespeak a national
feeling of jealousy we would gladly not hale witnessed.
On the day before the adjournment.ot Cor.gress, Mr. ('lay
took an opportunity of referring to a resolution he had
proposed, expressive of ete feelings of Congress in rcga:•d
to an attack supposed to be meditated by Allied Europe
upon the independence of Spanish America. Under the

full conviction that, after all that had occurred, the Allies
did not entertain any purpose so diabolical, he would not
press his resolution further, but suffer it to sleep on the
table.

The intelligmce from Hayti is of considerable interest.
The recognition of the sable republic will, sooner or later,
preduce a material effect on our West Indian colonies.
France certainly must despair of subjugating the Haytians.
It is then:fore the bolt policy of her Government to.secure
such advantamrs as her revolted slam; will grant, as the
condition of their admitted emancipation.

THE f)OI4irENTION WITH 011EArvtIA.N.

We promised that we would lay before our readers the puttee.
Ides of the proceedings of the Senate upon the Cor.vention lately
concluded, between the United States and Great Britain, proposing
certain arrangements for the further supprestion of the slave trade.
With this promise we end ourselves twevented Item literally coon.
plying, by a rule of the Senate, which forbids extracts to be taken
from the Journal of the Executive Proceedings. The ilianction of
secrecy is removed as to the facts, but remains as to the tonn of the
proceedings.. We are able to state, therefore; only such particulate
as we obtain trout our oral report.
EThen follows a synopsis of the: treaty, as laid before
the Senate.]
It was feuded by the Senate, with certain cemlitiers, one of
which limited the duration of the Treaty to the pleasure of the
potties, and at.other limited the right of search to the African
Sets.
1 Emmet the Nc.c Fork Patriot of May 31.1
Hayti, according to advice, received in this city, is in expecte.
tion of having its independence speedily recognised by France. We
learn that the brig Julius Tludes, which sailed thrice on the &it of
May for Havre, took out Senators Hove and Bayard, and M.
Itouanes, a government notary, on their way to Paris from the
Hsytiaa Government, to sign a treaty.preposed by the French, and
already s'ireed to. The matienlers are not known, hnt are un.
doubtedly favourable to French commerce. It is already known,
through French Papers, that vessAs can clear for Hayti direct from
France; and that shipments may be made Wm Hayti, so that
American vessels can carry her productions to a French port. Ac.
cording to our accounts, says the Daily Advertiser, the negotia-
tions had not been interrupted even when the greatest alarm pre.
railed in the country. Until the recognition has been officially se.
knowledged. by France, the Ilaytian Government takes every step
and precaution to guard against treason yea deception; the levies
of troops arc completed ; new towns are built in the Interior en the
smennts of the highest mountains, for the women and children ;
provisions and ammunition are already stored there, and every other
precautionary meas.:ie has been taken to prevent surprise, in case
the proposed treaty should only be a veil to conceal an expedition
against them. In the mean time all business has stopped, and fa
reign commerce suffers much frogs this stale of uncertainty.

On Saturday evening the Opera of Tuneredi, ( entati-
toted fur that of Reau'o t: re! Gnilietio), in. consequence of
the indispositiot. of Garcia) was repeated. Madame Pasta
was the 'I uttered ; her notions of the heroic are perhaps
originally just, but they fail in carrying them out with
fit. She wants soul and impressiveness, and is altoge-
ther too tune'.: in the repuaJ of self-possession, to mingle
properly wit' the interest and ag-S.tatien of the warring
pasnona. Slt maker up, however, in grace and ingerer.ity.
Nothing well he more polite than her gait and action • and
her singing style is that of a mind richly giftirl. She leaves
the composer's manuscript behind, and seems as if bent
upon awakening richer and Inure fanciful combinations
than had occurred to him in preparing the score. Rossini
himself " toils after her" in the luxury of ornament. The
passage of 7's els' siceensli, with the deservedly celebrated
Air -4 Di lamli palpit, were profuse in graces of this
order, forming, in short, most brilliant alai surprising
descant upon themes which, from their unfortunate popu-
larity, would now, but for the accident of a sympathetic
and succouring genius in the singer, be almost too stale for
delight. Madame Ronsi supported the part of Awe:aside
with her wonted tenderness and animation. NVe nettle'
say, spastkirg of her as a singer, that in positive execution
she is faithful beyond most of the ladies who have orna-
mented this elamie stage. In all the many varieties of tone,
modulation of passionate expression, she never blurs a
single note—whether she moans for her banished lover like'
a widowed' dove, or distracts herself witle the fear which
death inspires in a fond and ardent woman, she preserves
the consSteney of the scene with unsubduable constancy.
She ought. to be the most perfect Juliet of any Enropean
siege, as her acting tends most directly to th, standard of
that wonderful creation of Shakespear. Of Currioni and
li-snetti, though they cannot incur censure, there is not
enough in this opera to enable them to win great praise.
The ballet was Figaro, the incidents and music being
borrowed from the opera ; the dialogue substituted by the

sists of local equivoque anal: 'ed intrigue, is beautlibllv

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

- - -
On Saturday night, the Comedy of the Road to Ruin was
again performed at this Theatre. Mr. Dowton, in some of
the seems, particularly in those with Sulky and his son
Harry, was extremely hippy; but we can say little in
praise of the other performers • for two reasons—first, that
their parts were short; and secondly, because there is no-
thisg in them beyond the merest common-place of comedy.
It may be fourd true to nature, that a man who has spent
his life behind a counter, will risk the earnings of that life
for a gay and profligate son, whose generosity is but extra-
vagance, and whose folly is downright madness. It may
also be true to nature, that a rich haridan, like the Widow
Warren, would, out of sheer wantonness, rather marry such
an outre animal as Goldfinch, than remain without a hus-
band ; but we must confess tbat we rather regard them as
exceptions from the general ttrintiples on which such per-
sons act, than as the principles which govern the species.
However, we had little to 'eget in the sekction of the
Road to Ruin, for after each act Madame ('atalani induced
ts to forget them, by singing some of her most enchanting
string. Comfort ye rely people," and " Every valley,
were never more effectively given. We have heard, per-
haps. tie two best elegem of 'sacred music in this country
or in Europe—we allude to Mrs. Salmon and Mr. Brihaen,
but neither, in our opinion, equalled Madame C's effort on
Saturday evening. We did mut think there was such a de-
gree of flexibility in any voice as we beard in these and other
pieces of music front this distinguished foreigner. She
sloes not give either of these sacred songs with the deli-
eacy--petuips we might add, with that depth of feeling,
in which we bear them riven by Mrs. 'Salmon, but there
was still a brilliancy—a clearness of articulation—a pecu-
liar power in the cadences—a strength and keeping in ell
the ornaments and shake,—which rendered " Every 1
Valley" one of the sweetest things which can feast the
human ear. Shelves encored ip the celebrated air, with .
variations by Rhodes taken from Fanatic() per lu
lifotriec, and also in the °w haling air (in character, from
.Venziramde. This air, however, being so long and so
difficult, " Rule Britannia" was substituted for it, and
received with the usual degree of entbusiesewa-numbers
of the audience joining in the chorus. Altogether
dm reception of Madame Catalani has been moat flat-
tering during her engagement ; and as will be seen from
Mr. Elliston's speech (for he was on Saturday in a
speechifying humour) Is to be re-enraged for a li-
mited period. We should, however, like to know what
they have done to offiend Madame Catalani at the Italian
Opera House? It certainly cannot be jealousy, for no one
there can have a chance of competing with her; but can
it be, or is it, that Madame Catalani wants more money
than the treasury can pay her? We know (to use a
homely phrase), that a good article deserves a good price:
but Madame Catalani cannot have lived so long in the
world as she has done, without well-knowing that fashion
may attach a value to an inferior article, and beat the su-
perior out of the market, if the superior is only t he ob-
tained at the I.rice of arrogant hnpoeitton—sat rerhum.
After " Rule Britannia" was Mr. Elliston came
forward, and addressed the audience nearly as follews:—
•• Ladics and Gendemen—On Monday evening next, a comedy,
a favourite comedy of yours, will be performed, to which will be
added the Revolt of the Greeks.
" Ladies sad Genuemen—'Till the 7th of July heat this house
will be engaged with benefits ; and after that, I hall again engage
Madame Csadani fot a sew nights ; which will, I hopit, meet Mith
ycu: eneem and approbation. Some persons, Ladies and Gentk-
men. have found fault with me for keeping this theatre open; but
I can smite you, that as the lessee and proprktor I have every
right wdo so. 1 have a right to keep it open for the year round;'
vA I again say, the fault is not mine, and I care not what is said
while I can obtain such talent as that of Madame Catalard---such
talent as hat been exhibited before you, Ladies and Gentlemen,
st,is no fault to keep the theatre open, while it meets so much of
your support.
• Ladles and Gentlemen—T beg leave to recommend to yea
two benefits which are speedily to take place at this theatre ; toe
one for the benefit of Mrs. Bland, who has been forty-two years
on the stages and the Other for firs. Ozbetry and her family, who
have, as you know, been deprived of the c:ertion3 of an individual
whom you have been so often pleased to favour.
Mr. lilliston then bowed, reeled, and retired. The
house was full, particularly the dress bases and the pit.

Arot.t.aarreo Co wceRT B.—One of the most numerous
companies that have attended during the season, was pre-
sent on Saturday at this weekly morning concert; and
among the visitors were several disiinguishal families. Ths
worts of Handel, Knyvett, Dr. Clarke, Purkis, Bishop,
and Sir John Stephenson, contributed to the selection,
which was as well chosen and arranged as any we have
witnessed. The Overture Gh'in commenced the entertain-
ment of the morning, and was followed by the air II mio
Iciora, Loth effective pieces ; Knyvet's glee, the Bells of
St. Michael's Tower, was next performed with great ap-
plause ; the duet, Enstace followed; and a diver-
timento, floh (Pork's) concluded the first part : '
in this piece Air. Purkis displayed considerable
in-
genuity and taste, and the airs, which were happily
introducal, as well as chastely performed, were often
i:;tsrruptea by marks of satisfaction. The Overture to tl.e
Moiler and his Men was effective, and the duet TA me
~•Arre is fu,tcy bred, was given with a delicacy of expres-
sion which called forth an instant encore. Several other
picc-s were highly applauded. The self-playing powers of
the instrument were afterwards exhibited to a numerous
conteni. -
