In the sitting of the 2.1 October, M. Fernandez
Thomas made two proposals, which were approved.
1. That the nation being very ill served by foreigners act-
ing as Consuls, they should be restuved, and Portuguese ap-
pointed in their stead.
l.: That it being itulubitsble that those were Portuguese
so de*enerate that they sought by discourse and conversa-
tion, both public and private, to disturb the new order of
things, and to sow distrust among the people, he proposed
that .the Committee should draw up and lay before the
Cortes a project of criminal law, to punish as treason to the
elation (keeping in view the ordinance of the kingdom no
this subject), all those who shaU in Ibis imagoes disturb
it'd:die order and tranquillity.

• Within these few days there have beeo again se-
♦eral ar?ivirls from Constantinople, by which we
have private letters from that city up to the 16th
instant. The same uncertainty still prevailed re-
specting the expected declaration of our Court;
but the Turks, however, appear to entertain some
hope* of peace. The Haiti Sheriff, which we men-
tioned in our last as the statement of the Captain
of a vessel, as having been issued by the Sultan, to
commend a general arming of the Mouelmen, is
reduced, according to letters received to-day, to
some new precautions of a military nature ordered
by the Grand Vizier.

Our situation becomes every dry more singular. I
All that we saw for some time hick gave us reason I
to .iufer that a speedy commencement of hostilities
was probable; we are now more nod more cow.inced
every day that we were before mistaken. 'tire are

According to the latest accounts from, Macedo-

In the provinces of this side of the Rhine, in

stration of justice is introduced, there were pend-
ing last year before all the higher mud inferior tri-
bagels, besides the examinations—

The bookseller Brockhans, who had lately ob-
tained the revocation of the prohibition imposed on
him to tell and distrihute his publications in the
Prussian dominions as formerly, without under-
going a second censorship, has been suddenly
deprived by the Prossian Government of the
benefit of this concession. Many persons think

that M. Brockhaut has drawn upon himself this
unexpected measure, by a printed circular letter to
all the Prussian booksellers, in which he permitted
himself to make some very unbecoming and of-
fensive reworks against the subordinate Prussian
authoritiese•-(Frankfort Papers, October 16.)

antics of the tlepattmeat, is colletted and paid
into the Exchequer at the rate of 301. per cent. ;
!Wile in Ireland, where the duties of the depart-
ment are comparatively trivial, the expenses of
collecting the net produce of the Post-office
amount to upwards of 400/. per cent. Abuses of
this nature spew too clearly the principles and
spirit with which the affairs of Ireland have hi-
therto beeu administered ; but as they are too ob-
vious not to command the attention of the Comb

mistioners who are now employed under the autho-
rity of Parliament in investigating the Revenue of
Ireland, we may hope soon to see them corrected.
The falling off in the produce of the Excise of
Ireland is not to be attributed to a diminished con-
sumption of any of the articles comprised under
that head of the public Revenue. It proceeds
solely from the extraordinary extent to which illicit
trading is carried throughout almost every part of
Ireland. Private distillation flourishes almost at
much as ever, and so powerful is the competition
which it offers to the fair trade of the licensed dis-
tillers, that they have been found in some instances
incapable of resisting it. This circumstance is of
far greater importance to the well-being of Ireland
than may be at first sight imagined. The evil that
is produced to the Revenue is obvious, and needs
no comment. The injury that arises to the moral
condition of the people from a Ices restricted use of
ardent liquors, and from familiarising their minds to
illicit trading and • systematic fraud upon the
Government, is no less apparent ; but it is not per-
haps so generally known that in the larger towns of
Ireland the prices of corn are for the most part, if not
altogether, regulated by the prices which the great
distillers can afford to give for the grain necessary for
their manufacture, and if the illicit traders succeed
in beating down the fair profits of trade, the licensed
distillers mus►, of course, limit the quantity of
their purchases, anal proportionally diminish the
average prices of corn. The markets art thus
kept down, the farmer is deprived of • good price
for hi, produce, lie becames unable to pay his rent
and defray his necessary expenses, the land
is negl.cted, and the landlord dep►ived of his rent.
The Revenue mist eventually and by many ways
feel the effects of do ruinous a practice. Coercive
measures base long been triid for the suppression
of it, but they have failed ; the military as well as
the civil power has been employed at an immense.
expense to counteract, it, but in vain; and we are
convinced that no meant will be found effectual
for putting an end to illicit distillation, but that
of reducing the amount of the duty on spirits, and
of thereby diinioishing the premium that is now
offered fur violating the laws of the country.

We communicated yesterday the important in-
telligence that an armistice had hero concluded
between the Viceroy of LIMA and the Patriot Army
commanded by Gen. SAN MARTIN. it is under-
stood that the proposal of the Viceroy of Lima for
this truce was extorted from him by the consciousness

of his inability to cope with the victorious army of
SAN MARTIN after the defeat of RICCAVONT.
We may therefore anticipate, as the result of any
further negociations, the total destruction of the
Spanish authority in the Viceroyalty of Lima, and a
separation similar to that of the United States from
Great Britain.
With an official copy of the armistice, we also
publish several very interesting extracts from the

we regret to find, was the case. Sheriff BRADY was
then voted to the chair, and the toast was accordingly
given by those who were opposed to Sheriff SMITH.
At the Quarter Assembly on Friday the vote of

Committee, fur their conduct on the occasion of the

the numbers being—Ayes, 50; Noes, 40. The
Member of time Corporation, who brought forward
the motion, said he• was induced to propose it, in
hopes that it would be negatived, a rumour having
gone abroad that within the last six months the
politics of the city had been much changed.

The vacancy in the Irish Imperial Peerage. it is
rumoured, is to be tilled np by one of the follow.
ing Peers:—The Earls of —MEATH, CARRICK,

Last night a young Lady made her hist appear;
since on any stage in the pirt of Iliaeheath, in The
Beggar's Opera. She made an obeisance of easy
and Confirmed grace to the salutation of applawwo
from the house. She has a. fine fare, capable of
great, expression. In the delivery of the dialogtir;
she evinced superior sent', although evidently slue
fering from the bAshful reserve incident to Or ri.'
velty of her situation. Her VoiCe, which is ala
ni
treble, gave a rich expression to the Sehilattil it
imagery of the language. She has a well-rounded
taste for melody, and titer embellishments are re-
mark•bly new and beautiful. Her performance
created a deep interest, rarely awakened by a first
successful appearance. She was encored in every
song, sod her claims are fully and honourably esta-
blished. Miss IL Cote' performed Polly, ai.d
sang her songs in very superior style. Mis. JON ES
performed Lacy well, mid sang the songs much
better :—indeed they have seldom been so well given
on any stage. Mr. TIM! ably sustained the part
of Peaehum, and gave true point to the satirical
sallies which burst from almost every sentence of the
piece. Mr. J. RUISIBLL was filch. and certainly,
as far as the appearance of perfection goys in any
art, he was one of the mdat finished disciples of Bill
Soarnes's social philosophy. His look and cos-
tume, his leer, his waddling gait, and the spirit of
slang which hovered about all he said and did, be-
spoke an absolute intimacy with the manners, cus-
toms. and inmates of Newgate. He was loudly en-
cored in the song, an honour which few of his pre.
decesaors in the part have been able to win from •
polite audience. The piece went off with extra-
, ordinary vial.

The new melodrama which way produced on
Monday at this theatre, under the title of The Con.
lair's Bride, was last night repeated with increased
approbation to an overflowing audience. The story
is taken from the well-known Venelien tale of
Giovanni Shim.° the name, of the characters,
being wholly changed, and a few of the most power-
ful incidents and most striking situations having
been selected, and so brought together as to re-
duce the time of the action nearer to the limits which
the laws of this species of composition prescribe.
The circumstances of the fable, as it now stands.
are these :—The son of the Count Lorenzo, a
Sicilian Nobleman, proscribed and outlawed on
suspicion of treasonable practices, having fallen
into the power of a formidable baud of pirates who
infest the shores of the Mediterranean at the moment
when their leader was slain in fight, is fixed upon
by them to succeed him in the command, and, in
the hope of being able to effect some good by re-
straining their excesses within a more circa macribed
range than had hitherto hounded them, consents to
take upon himself the GtEce, with the name of the
fallen outlaw, upon whose head a price has been set
by every State in Italy. In order to procure the
intelligence necessary to enable him to plan and
direct the operations of the band with effect, he !re-
vels shout Sicily disguised as Count Vicenza, a Flu.
rennin. Nobleman. and under that name obtains the
affections of Emilia, daughter of the Dukenf Bente-
mei°, and her father's consent to their marriage.
which is on the eve of celebration, when, stung by re.
more, and urged by the sincerity of his attachment
to her, he resolves upon it full disclosure of the cir-
cumstances of his eventful life to the object of his
attachment. Spoliate, the Lieutenant of the Cor-
sairs, suspecting Lorenzo of an intention to betray
the band, determines to defeat his purpose by car-
rying off Emilia, and causing Count Vicenza to be
arrested as the Corsair Spaiiirro ; and the business
of the piece consists in the schemes and endeavours
of Spoiletti to effect that object, and in the exertions
of Lorenzo, and his attendant, 'Admit°, to defeat
his design. in which they ultimately succeed by •
decree of the Viceroy reversing the outlawry of La
rent°. and pardoning the crimes of Spalatro, in con-
sideration of the services rendered to the State by
Vicenza. There is also a little underplot sketched
with considerable humour, of the awkward ad.
dresses of • foolish and antiquated major-doato
to the Duchess's waiting maid, Floretta, which,
utter coquetting for some time, she rejects in favour
of the Count's attendant Ludovito. Mr. WAT-
KINS BURRoUoIIS sustained the character of the
outlawed Count with much judgment and feeling.
Mr. WAYLETT played Spoilette, the Lieutenant of
the band of Corsairs, with becoming energy. To
say that Mr.lVtLattasou filled the part ofJeronimo,
the major-domo, is to give assurance of the rich
and chastened humour of the performance. Miss E.
PITT was • tender and interesting Emilia, and Mil.
BRYAN flirted with much spnglithuess and easy
gaiety, as her maid, Floreita. Mr. CILLABAN and
Mr. BELLAMY. placed in parts much inferior to then
merits, made a couple of most efficient (weans,
and sung moat admirably a very pleasing duet, in a
scene in which they were disguised as improvisatou.
The scenery, which is entirely new, is tastefully dt-
signed and skilfully executed. Bruno, and Gape°
at Canterbury, followed, and their undiminishel
power of pleasing was satisfactorily proved by de
laughter and applause which accompanied then
throughout.

Notwithstanding the surplus of revenue at the
end of the last quarter, compared with the corres-

suppose, would enable Mini►tera to meet at Itast

that some of the clerks in the public departments
have not yet received their quarter's salary, due on

At the Oxford City Quarter Sessions, held on
Monday, the billowing presentment was made to
the RECORDER by the Grand Jury
The Jurors of our Lord the King, upon their oath, pre.
sent, that during the WICSiiOIIP, from the close of the even-
ing until after midnight, certain evil and ill-disposed relating,
as well men as women, of evil name and fame, and of disho-
nest conversation, infest the public streets of this city, con.
ducting themselves in a riotous and disorderly manner, and
otherwise misbehaving themselves, to the common nui-
sance of all the subjects of our said Lord the King, and
against the penes emir said Lord the King, his crown and
dignity." .
After the presentment was read, the Recorder addressed
the Jury, sad complimented them on bringing the subject
before the Coast. He stated, that if the presentment bad
contained the names of any of the offenders, he should
deem it his duty to act is such a manlier as would have the
effect of penisbiag the offenders, and preventing the roliti.
'malice of the nuisance eoniplaine4 of. He regretted that
Grand Jerks did not more frequently exercise the power
they possessed of presenting such nuisances as came within

address by observing, that he trusted the Magistrates, in
conjunction with those appointed by law to keep the watch,
would take the matter into their serious consideration, and
adopt such measures as would effectually prevent a recur-
rence of such disgraceful practices.
