ful Majesty, was introduced, and sworn in a privy counsellor,

His Majesty gave audiences to the Earl of Liverpool, the
Marquis of Lone.inderry, Mr. Peel, the Duke of Montrose, and
the Duke of Dorset.—The Court broke up at a quarter before
six o'clock.

Mr. CANNING.—This Gentleman is laid up
with a severe attack of his old enemy the gout,
at Welbeck, the seat of the Duke of Po RTLA ND.
It is therefore probable that he will not for
some time be able to attend to his Parliamentary
duties.
With that attention to the wishes of his Fel-
low-Citizens which has marked the conduct of

his Worship the MAYOR since he came into office,
we find that he has consented to call a Meeting
of the Citizens, for the purpose of addressing the
Marquis WELLEst.EY ; and Tuesday next, the
sth inst., is the day appointed to carry the object
into effect. The Requisition, addressed to his
Worship on this occasion, had been most nume-
rously and respectably signed.—(Cork Mercan-
tile Chronicle, Feb. 1.)
Loan BYRON.—Pisa, Dec. 31.—1 n the Ro-
magna several more persons, but of less import-
ance, have been arrested as Carbonari. Among
those banished is Count Gambi, from Ravenna.
The Count has come to Pisa, with his daughter,
Signora Guiccicoli ; and the celebrated poet,
Lord Byron, the friend of the latter, immedi-
ately followed her. Even after the separation
of Signora Guiccicoli from her husband, he had
lived in the house of the latter, paid 1500 scudi
for his lodging, and spent perhaps 50,000 scudi
annually, especially in charity. In public he
appears so seldom, that Englishmen often paid a
Louis d'or to see him, secretly, through the
latticed windows of a neighbouring house. The
Magistrates of Ravenna have earnestly solicited
the pardon of the Count Gambi, and the Legate
has supported this petition to his Holiness, only
for the purpose of having back the celebrated and
generally respected guest.—(Frankfort Paper.)

Extract of a letter from Malta, dated Dec.'2B :
-46 The Chichester packet arrived this morning,
in 23 days from England. Some steps are tak-
ing towards reforms and remedies of our griev-
ances. An o►fice for the registry of contracts
will be established the first of the new year ; and
it is now certain that the corn trade will be at
last thrown open in June or July tnext. The
table of fees in the Bankrupt Court is to be re-
duced one-half; and we entertain sanguine hopes
that such other amendments may he made as will
guard against the ruin that we feared was steal-
ing upon all classes in this island. I hope it will
very soon be in my power to detail to you some
of the good effects that will be derived from the
expected changes."
