The last despatches from Spain du not give us the
ultimatum of the Cortes upon the impudent demands
of France, but all accounts lead as to believe the
French Court are now deeply impressed with the
danger of their contemplated enterprise, and think
with us that the odds would be against Louis's re-
maining on the Throne if he attempted to interfere
with Ferd►nand's Subjects—Peace is thus likely to
be preserved, rather from the fears of the aggressor
than from his rectitude of principle.
Two Lisbon mails have jest arrived, with Papers
to the 14th of last month. They contains long
&tail of the proceedings of the Cortes, respecting
the refusal of the Queen of Portugal to take the
Oath to the Constitution. The reason her Majesty

smirks for not taking the oath is, that she had made
a promise never to swear, either for good or evil,
during her lifh; that she did not adopt this courte
through haughtiness, or hoar hatred to the Cortes,
but tamely because she had passed her word. This
resolution was followed• by a decree of the King, on
the 4th ultimo, stating, that in consequence of the
Queen having refused to take the oath to the Con-
stitution, she had lost all her rights, civil and poll-
, tical, belonging twber character of Ptstuguese
risen, or to the dignity of Queen, and that she must
depart from the Portuguese territory forthwith.—

in the Sitting of the Cortex of the llth, the affair
of her Majesty was again brought forward by M.
Aseursio dux Neves, who mewed that proceedings
should be instituted, after the manner of the Queen
of England, to know whether the Queen, by refus-
ing to take the oath of adherence to the Constitu-
tion. had violated the law. The motion this referred

to the Special Con mines to examine the affair.-
7he Cotten are evidently very much impressed with
the necessity of making common 'suss with the
Spaniards, to secure the indepeudenee of the Pento•
mina. On the 6th the project of s decree was
mad, for raising the regiments of the line to their
goner field establishment. The deplorable state of
the Portuguese navy was also brought before the
Cones by the Minister of Marine, on the 9th. At

tine, almost all of them good ships. It was also
ordered, on the motion of Sr. Foment Rangel, that
the necessary information should he asked of the
Government, in what the Cortes might designate a
constitutional manner, she amount of the force ne-
cessary to be maintained by land and sea, and that
the Mini►ter for Foreign Affairs be ordered to ac-
suaint the Cortes with the state of political relations
with foreign nations.

Two expresses reached town at nine o'clock, and
these were followed by two others about eleven.—
The Parrs Journals are pacific, but uninteresting.
Private letters—more than usually namerous—con-
cur in representing the public mind in that capital
as perfectly tranquil—and entertaining confident
expectation of peace.
Consols opened 80i a, but u the contents of pri-

—buyer. at 84. Unless the mum from Madrid
disappoint pond expectation, our markeo is not
likely to be shaken—but evidently all depends upon
the answer from Madrid. Should that be 'fa-
vourable we shall have another shak.

DEATH OF TKO MARQUIS OS DROGRIDA. —This
venerable nobleman departed the Lis on the 224
ult., at his house in Rackville-street, Dublin, in the
' 94th yeas of his age. His LOrdship was a Field-
plisashal, and the oldest General in his Majesty's
enrolee. He raised the 18th Dragrams, in the year
1762, since which time he commanded it until its
reduction last year. His Lordship was married in
the year 1766, to Lady Anne Seymour, the eldest
daughter of Francis Marquis of Miami ICS. who
died in 1787, and was buried in the family vault at
Melfont Abbey, where his Lordship's remains are to

&ups brought against him, but the most prominent

ammerelel pursuits. General San Martin appears

moral of the Secretary of State was followed up by
am dismissal of other penfini in the Government,
who bed rendered themselves obnoxious either in one

All pomible pains have been takers on every'mide

On Tuesday last, a hone in a gig. containing a lady
and a uentleman. took fright in Hyde-park, near the
Serpentine rim. and proceeded with great velocity to the
ice ;on hieh the animal slipped, and the violence of
the concussion precipitated the lady out of the vehicle,
and so seriously inured her. that it was some minutes
before she was sufficiently recovereJ to be conveyed to a
'surgeon. The penitents.' received a severe contusion on
the temple, and the horse was much cut about the
knees.
Between 3 and 4 o'clock in the afternoon of Christmas

day, the inhabitants of Handswonh, near Birmingham,
were thrown into great consternation by an alarm being
given, that a number of boys and girls were dmwniug in
the mill-pool opposite to the gates of the Soho Manu-
factory, the ice on which they had assembled having
broken and let them in. A considerable number of per-
ons immediately hastened to the spot, and every assist.
a nce was promptly affueded in extricating thefunfortunats
sufferers, and in endeavouring to recover them as they
were taken from the water. Though the means used
to restore animation were in several instances successful,
we regret to add, that five out of the number were found
to be past recovery. The parties who thus unhappily
lost their lives were two girls and three boys, from 13 to
17 years of age, all of them belonging to families of the
workingclais.

Curries Ica.—On Sunday a greet number of per.
sons .eere assembled on the banksof the Regent's Canal,
from the City Road to Limehouse. to WHIMS a novel
mode of coating the ice, so as to open the navigation of
craft, which have been delayed between the locks seve-
ral days. Au old barge was procured, and clinkered, in
a ' tar way to the Greenlanders; at the stern, some
plates of inns were fixed very strongly, and in the shape
of a knife, three hawsers were then fastened to the ves-
sel, to each of which three horses were yoked on shore,
and lay these means the vessel cut through the ice, in a
manner that surprised all who witnessed it. In this
way the whole of the ice between the City Ro_cl, and
Litnehouse-hole was loosened, and the craft were en-
abled to proceed thus far on their voyage.
CAUTION.—On Monday evening last, one of the sons
of Mrs. Woodman, residing at Green End, Aylesbury,
had borrowed an old fowling piece, which the person
who lent it assured him was not loaded ; he was accord-
ingly, in a Gamlen manner, doing something to the
lock, when the were went off, the musale being at the
moment pointed towards the wall of his house, but so
close to one of his sisters, that some of the iMuts re-
bounded, and passed through a shirt she was sewing.
The young Mitt had a few minutes before been pointing
the gun at his sisters jocosely threatening to shout
them.
PIDISTRIAWISM.—J.Brown, a native of Salisbury, 40
years of age, having bet a wager of 11, that he would
perform 64 miles id le successive houri, undertook the
task on Friday last, and started at hrlfspast four in the
morning, from the Pheasant public-house, in that city,
to the distance of a measured mile, on the Old Sarum
road. He went the first two miles in 15 minutes, and
completed the whole task two minutes and a half within
time. Although he ran the greater part of it, and al.
lowed himself but a very few minutes for refreshment,
