THE LATE DUCHESS or D&RIIET'S WILL.---The Will
of the late Moat Noble Arabella Diana Duchess of Dorset, was
, proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, on the 30th ult.
by the oaths of the Executors, the, Hon.-Charles Cecil • Cope.
Jenkinson (the brother), and Samuel Forster, Esq.' The whole
of the real estate is given in moieties to her Grace's sons-in-laiv,
'the Earls of Plymouth and de la Warr, for their lives, and
afterwards 'to her .-datighterS, their thuntesses, and their re-
spective issue. The furniture, pictures,; and other ornamen-
tal, articles at Knole and Backhurst,. which she had power
to di pose of are diredted to be sold; the produce to be
applied in the purchase of freehblds, to be settled in the
like• manner; the residue of the personal estate is to be
similarly applied. The testator's plate, diamonds, and per-
sonal' ornaments, ate all 'given to her daughter, Lady de la
Warr ; and it is assigned as a reason for so bequeathing them,
that the Countess of Plymouth is already possessed of all re-
quisite articles of that nature.. There is a codicil, containing
chiefly annuities and other bequests to friends, and apparently
servants and former pensioners of her Grace ; also 3001. each to
her sisters, the Countesses of Aboyne and Veralarn ; 100/. to
her brother, the Hon. Mr. Jenkinson ; and 3001. to. Mr. For-
ster, as a compensation for his trouble as executor. She de-
sires to hs buried as plainly as possible in the family vault at
Withingham Church. The will is dated, the 6th of June,
182.5.—The personal property was sworn under 80,0001.

CENOTAPH TO THE MEMORY OF THE. PRIN-
CESS CHARLOTTE.

- Nearly eight years have, now elapsed the
, ,
sudden- and unexpected death 'of the Princess Charlotte spread '
a universal gloom over the land. The readiness with which a
public subscription for a Cenotaph to her memeey was com-
menced, and completed, spoke a language that could not be Tribe-
understood, and testified in the most honourable manner the 'just
appreciation of her, virtues by' the nation at large. The task of
designing and
.executing this Cenotaph was ereristed to Mr.
Matthew C. Wyatt; and froth the known talent,' of that gentleman
and hisecience both as a painter and sculptor, the highest expecte--
tions were raised.. This National Monument, is now Completed,
and in our opkiion the _very highest expectations that have been
formed have been fully.itlitified. ,The- Cenotaph will shortly be
opened- to the public, but previously to that taking place, we have
been favoured with a view of the work. The part chosen for the
erection of the Cenotaph, is the best that could have been select-
ed for the purpose. The spot 'selected as thb most fit for the re-
ception of this Cenotaph has been 'the south-west corner of the
nave of St. George's Chapel, Windsor. The tomb is formed of
the,finest white marble, and represents an' elegant female figure
extended in death, and covered only with thin drapery. Ti,isdre-
pery does not conceal the languor of death, which is most truly
and naturally expressed :both in 'the figure and the face of
the deceased. , One of The arias hangs down by the side of the
body, and presents the perfect view of one hand, which is
Marked by the same finely executed expressions of languor.
Around this figure are those of four females weeping. These
females and the drapery with which' they are covered are
very splendid .specimens of sculpture. In the back ground
of the .„eroupe are two Angels kneeling, nne of whom presses
to her bosom a new-born child. . Between' these is a figure
supposed to represent the disembodied spirit of the Princese
ascending to Heaven. In an attempt to convey such an idea to
the mind of the spectator,' of course the sculptor lies under
considerable disadvantages. The inhabitant of the air is of too
substantial a nature to be correctly represented by marble, the
solid appearance of which can never be changed or worked off
Into mere shadow or thin air, like colours in painting. In that
respect the sister art has decidedly the advantage. -Still, what'
could be done has been effected. The figure, though richly
formed, is at the same time so elegantly moulded, as to deprive it
of much of its massy effect, wile the expiession 'of the face is so
angelic,so full oil ope, so marked by anticipations of heavenly joy,
as to assist materially in producing the delusion which the artist
required. Behind this ligurethe space is dark and gloomy, offer-
ing to the imagination the picture of a being bursting from the
shadow of death, and springing upwards to light and happiness
Above the Cenotaph is a light gothic screen, on which are em-
blazoned the arms of the Princess and of the Prince. of Coburg.
This screen is highly gilt, and perhaps on that account might be
objectionable, but that it is so small and elegant as to offer but
a very slight Contrast to the other portions of the Cenotaph, and
certainly nothing sufficient to .render it at all unpleasing to the
eye. The windows of this small chapel are all of stained glass,
and with the whole of the other parts of the Cenotaph are the
work of Mr. Wyatt. In six of those windows are the figures of
that' number of the Apostles, and in the fieul• de lir surmount-
ing the centre window, is a cross, surmounted by the halo of the
glory ' • this is most beautifully executed. The`ceiling of the
Chapel is moulded, painted, and gilt, and the middle mould-
ing contains the cypher of the present Xing. The two extreme
side windows are simply coloured glass, and in the choice of
the colours, Mr. Wyatt has exhibited the advantage of blend-
ing a knowledge Of painting with that of sculpture in the most
striking manner. The northern window is of a deep purple co-
lour, and the effect produced is of a most striking and novel kind.
The whole of the figures seem to be enveloped in a kind of
unearthly light, that adds a peculiar interest to the scene. The
emotions it produce 'in us on seeing thecurtain which concealed
the Cenotaph euddenly withdrawn were extremely powerful.
We felt the place was sacred, mid we hesitated before we could
iesolve on breaking into this melancholy sanctuary. It almost
seemed that we were disturbing the repose of the dead.

Ere, acts from the Morning Papers,Oct.ll, 18'25.

EVIORNINO CHRONICLE.]
The Two. Brothers was yesterday announced
as haved.arriyed at Jersey from Rio de Janeiro,
and, on inquiry, we found that the Letters brought.
by Fier reached to the 10th of August inclusive.
The. packet had sailed a few days previous to the
departure of this vessel, and her having to touch
at Babia and Pernambuco on her way home, must
have-.occasioned her delay. No particular news
had,rkached the Brazilian capital from the River
but vers.), extensive preparatiouStad been
made to support the views of the Emperor in that
quarter, and retaiit possession of the Eastern Bank.
In uue of the letters we have . seen, there is au
explanation of what had recently happened in the
prosiiice of Chiquitos, belonging' to the ancient
territory of Buenos Ayres, of which so confused
an idea had been formed in Europe, through
the first misrepr.2sentations which arrived. It
would' seem that this province has long been in
the Royalist interest, and the local authorities,
when the Colombian General Sucre was advanc-
ing in. Upper Peru, fearful that some re-action
might take place, sent a deputation to the Bra.
zilian Governor of Matto Grosso, requesting him
to send a detachment of troops thither, to pre-
serve the country from falling. into a state of
anarchy and confusion. The Governor complied
with their request, and sent 3°o men ; but. this
occurrence does not seem to have had any con-
net:tit:in whatever with the differences which, in
the mean while, arose in the River Plate. Great
activity had prevailed in the negociations for the
acknowledgment of Brazilian Independence, and
it was thought that by the departure of the next
packet the definitive treaty would be conclud-
ed. The British merchants, and those in the im-
mediate interests of the Government, represent the
terms already agreed upon as highly favourable to
Brazil. At first, it seems, a bold stand was made to
preserve the principles of European legitimacy in..
the New World, In order to render the eleva-
tion of the Emperor more consistent with the po-
litics of the Holy Alliance, the Portuguese Go-
vernment had insisted that .Dorn Joao VI. should
have the title of Emperor of, Brazil conferred
upOu him, which he was to abdicate in favour of
the son, and thereby sanction the acknowledged
independence. Dorn Pedro, however, judging
that the tenure by which he already held the
title was better than any that could be made,for
him in Lisbon, rejected the proposal with con-
tempt. The Portuguese had also made an at-
tempt to have the exclusive supply of wines and
salt in Brazil, on condition of Brazilian sugars
alone being consumed in Portugal ; but it would
appear that this clause had also been rejected, and
the Portuguese were to have uo other privileges
in Brazil than those enjoyed by other nations.
—lt is, indeed, added, that int indemnity money
wouid_be paid to them. Several letters mention
the .candid and dignified manner in which Sir
Charles Stuart had acted in this delicate and
diisCult matter. One of the mining grants for.
the interior, it is stated, was annulled by the
Emperor, in consequence of his not approving of
some transactions connected with it in England.
Another Company that had obtained -a grant for
Alines Geras, without specifying the spot where
the operations were to commence, had farmed the
gold mines belonging to the family of the Count
de Linharis. These, no doubt, are the mines of
13nrro and Castro, so minutely described by
Alavre.

THE Times.]
The Swedish shilikg4.lcutta, Captain Iljelm,
has arrived at Cowes from Calcutta, whence she
sailed on the Pith June, having made.the voyage
in 124 days, which, during the prevalence of the
monsoons, is considered an unusually quick pass-
age. Very few of the letters brought by this
vessel have yet reached town, and they are chiefly
occupied .by commercial intelligence. From
them, however, and the verbal account of Capt.
Iljelm, who has arrived in town, we collect that
advices from the division of the army under the
command of Sir A. Campbell up to the beginning
Of May had reached Calcutta. It appears, that
after uniting his force with that of General Cotton
early in April, they succeeded in carrying Dona-
bew, the place where G en. Cotton sustained a par-
tial check, by assault. They had subsequently ad-
vanced witlegreat rapidity towards Prome,and were
collecting all the troops possible fur a general at-
tack on that place, which was strongly fortified
with stockades. A rumour was in circulation at
Calcutta, that the King of Ava had made propo-
-sitions for peace, but that they had been refused'
'by Sir A. Campbell, who was benton obtaining
possession of Protee, asthat place would not only,
afford a secure military position for his army, hut,
being in a more healthy situation, would preserve
.the troops from the consequences to be appre-
hended from occupying the low country during
the rainy season, which was approaching. At the'.
date of the latest advices from the army, Sir A.
'Campbell was uuderstood to be within a very short
distance of Profile, and that General Morrison,
was proceeding from Arracan to, forma junction;
with him. A private letter front Calcutta, of the;
30th of May, mentions that the whole,of .the
province of Arracan had fallen into our posses-
sion subsequently to the taking of the capital,
and that the determination • had been formed by
the Governor-General to annex the! entire pro-
vince to our Indian Empire as a security, for the
good behaviour in future of his Burmese Majesty,
which purpose would be effectually answered by its
posSession, as the province of Arracan lines nearly
the whole of the sea-coast to the westward. A
gentlemen, a distinguished member of ,the.legal
pTofession, had been directed to proceed to
Arracan, to make the preliminary arrangements
to, the change of masters of this part of the Bur-
mese territory. Further details :ofi the events
communicated may be expected this day, when
the balk of the letters brought, by Captain Melts)
will reach town. This vesselOtmay perhaps be
interesting to observed is the—property :of the
newly established Swedish East. India Company,
and is the first of them which has completed a

trading voyage from Sweden to Calcutta and
back. He sailed from Stockholm in Novem-
ber last.

The Legislative Assemblies of Tobago have
closed their session with a strong and interesting
remonstrance to Sir Frederick Robinson upon
the whole of his conduct towards the island for
many years, the outline of the complaint being,
that " he has not made the law the measure of
his Government." The chief. topic embraced
under this preliminary accusation is a proclama-
tion for introducing British silver and, copper
(something in the nature of the Cape question
now at issue) into Tobago, and for fixing the
future exchange. Of the merits of the dispute
we are by no means masters ; but it seems as if
Lord Bathurst was bringing a hornet's nest about
his ears.—(lbid.)

[sitrrisit eitEss.]
In addition to the military information we lay
before our readers from the Madras Gazettes,
which have arrived to the f.ed of April, we have
received very important intelligence by the Cal-
cutta, a Swedish ship, which left Bengal on the
7th of June, and has arrived at, Cowes. We re-
gret that we are unable to give either dates or
particulars, but the news is nevertheless of un-
questionable
authenticity, and is to the following
effect :—After some severe fighting Donabew had
been carried by assault by Sir Archibald Camp-
bell, who had returned from his advauce upon
Prome for that purpose. The _Burmese troops
were commanded by the Chieftain, Bundoolah,
who made his escape with difficulty in the course of
the night, The flight of the Burmese was the iinme-
diate consequence. The clothes the Bundoolah had
newly thrown off, among. other things, his cap
were taken by the British troops. Thu army
under Sir Archibald Campbell had been joined
by General Morrison, with his division from Ar-
racan ; and the united force acting in co-opera-
tion with, the division of General Cotton had
encamped tiear Prome, on which an immediate
attack was coattemplated. It was reported at
Calcutta that the King of Ave had sent overtures
for peace .to Sir Archibald Campbell, who had
refused to listen to them until he was in posses-
sion of Prome,which would,if 'necessary, afford him
excellent winter quarters, and enable him to nego-
tiate with more ad vantage. According to one state.
ment, the reply of the British, Commander was,
that he would dictate the terms of peace at Um-
rnerapoora. It appears indubitable that the Bur-
mese Government is completely humiliated, and
reduced to a situati,ii of great difficulty and dan.
ger. It is therefore probable that the war will
be brought to a more speedy conclusion than we
could, previous to this intelligence, have reasona-
bly expec'teil. It was understood, at Calcutta,
that one of the conditions of peace would be the
ceviiou of the whole coast of Arracau as a security.
against the future hostility of our defeated enemy.
A loan had been opened by the Government of
Calcutta, and the exchange had consequently
risen to es.. ed. per rupee.

[NSW Ttufis.]
We yesterday received Madras Government.
Garotter to the 6th of May. The extracts which
we have made from them afford a very satisfac.
tory view of the progress of the war in the Bur-
mese territory, and give good reason to believe
that the capture of Donabew and dispersion of
Malta Bundoolah's forcemay have taken place early.
in April. Indeed, the last vessel .which quitted
Rangoon sailed on the sth of April, on which day
a heavy firing was heard in the direction of Dona-
bew. That this capture was actually effected at or
about that time is said to be positively asserted by
the Commander of the Swedish merchantman Cal-
cutta, which sailed from Calcutta on the 10th. of
June. If there be any grounds for this state-
ment beyond merely probable rumour, we shall
perhaps learn them in the course of the day;ifer
the letters will then be delivered. Meanwhile
we see nothing improbable in the. facts asserted,
namely, that Sir Archibald Campbell, having
joined Brig.-Gen. Cotton and Gen. M'Creagh,
had storm,d the place, and that the Bundoolah
with difficulty effected his escape, leaving behind
him great part of his clothes, and in particular the
cap which be was in the habit. of wearing.. It is
added, that the King of Ava had sent overtures of
peace ; but this appears doubtful. Still less pro.
battle is it. that Sir Arch. Campbell had been
joined, previously to his attack on Donabew, by
a division of the troops which had captured
Arracan. Of that capture we gave, elsewhere,
a number of curious and interesting particulars.
The first attack on the stockades proved unsuc-
cessful ; but a second effort, some days after, was
crowned with victory, and the commanding
position having been carried, the others were
abandoned without a struggle. On the 31st of
March our army entered the town, and three or
four days afterwards an expedition of 2,000 men
was sent against Ramree. From these circuts-
stances it is quite clear 'hat no part of General
Morrison's force could possibly .have joined Sir
-Archibald Campbell at the time of the alleged
.capture of Donabew.

meta of the independence of llayti had proilisced

a great sensation in Mexico : a sloop of war was
immediately dispatched to the United States,
with the intelligence. Every thing was tranquil
in Meiico. Commerce was reviving. The Ex-

fell to 5d., and again rose to 54d.

[THE PUBLIC LEDGER.]
We have received Bogota Papers to the sth
of July. To judge from the ordinary character
of their domestic intelligence, that capital, as
well as the whole of Colombia, had for some time
previously enjoyed a state of profound repose.
It is impossible to look at the present state
of that country, without being thoroughly
penetrated with the mighty energies apper-
taining to institutions based upon a wise free-
dom. It is scarcely half a doze❑ years, since
it was a prey to the most desolating ware-
fare, and was desperately struggling for existence.
Every town presenting appalling marks of the de-
vastation which marked that protracted struggle :
the Government had no fixed revenue—no credit,
and the army, no other means, but such as it
could levy in the places where it happened to be
quartered. In the short intervening period, what
a change has taken place ! The security of pro-
, found peace has been substituted for the horrors
of war ; and an administration, complete in all its
parts, and already admirable in its operation,
thus succeeded a horrible anarchy. Thus in
a very few years, improvements have taken place
which would have been the work of ages,
in countries where Legitimacy was firmly
rooted. However, what has already happened,
is only a faint image of what is yet to come ;
and, in twenty years more, the moral and
physical resources of Colombia will probably re-
'ceive a vast developement ; whilst it is equally
probable that the despotic Governments of the
Old World, if any such shall exist at that time,
will not have made the slightest progress in bet-
tering the condition of their subjects. England
will advance with the former, or remain sta-

tionary like the latter, as she shall imitate in
her policy the example of the one or the other ;
and what powerful inducement has she in this
reflection, to cherish, as she would her life's
blood, those excellent institutions, to which
alone she is indebted for all the advantages of
her situation ! She has in the present flourish-
ing state of her revenue, commerce, and trade,
the finest illustration of the good effects of sound
principles ; and to continue in this prosperous
course, she has nothing else to do but to pursue
that line of policy which, after so many exhaust-
ing trials, has already restored her to her pris-
tine strength and elasticity'. If she wants an ad-
ditional proof of the practical excellence of that
policy, she has only to cast her eyes on the won-
der-working effects of liberal views of Govern•
ment, as they are developing themselves in the
late Spanish Colonies ; and, by way of contrast,
she may look at Spain and her interminable
troubles, where they are proscribed with most
care.

[MORNING HERALD.]
We yesterday received the following from a
Correspondent, who dates it from Brighton, Oc-
tober 10 ; we do not believe in the truth of the
communication, and we believe that our Cor-
respondent has been imposed on, for we hardly
think that the Russians would proceed to such
an extremity, without having first given notice to
the rest of the Holy Alliance :—(Copy)—" Post-
script. I have just learned from too good an au.
thority that the Russian army under 'Wittgen-
stein, in Bessarabia, have crossed the Pruth, and
commenced hostilities against the Turks. They
have long been preparing for this step, and waited
only for the slightest pretext to proceed to extre-
mities. This will be the harbinger of hot work
for Europe."
Our neighbours of the " Modern Athens," are,
we think, both too late and too severe in their
treatment of Miss Foote. If they plead, as
perhaps they do, that the line of conduct
which they have adopted on the occasion was
due to equal justice, and that having denied
Mr. Kean access to their theatre,' they were
bound to exhibit a consistent feeling towards
the lady, we should say that even in Kean's
case, their resentment came a day after the fair,
and that at any rate the cases bear no sort of
comparison. In the one we had a matt, %%hen
the heyday of youth is long gone by, practising
the most base deception upon his friend ; in the
other, a young and lovely female, who had fallen
an early victim to the arts of an accomplished
seducer, endeavouring to escape from a life of
shame by an interested marriage with a wealthy
simpleton ; about whom, it is clear, she did not
care a farthing. Both cases, we confess, were
had enough ; but no one should contemplate the
latter, without taking into account the life an
actress is generally compelled to lead—the scenes
of temptation and excitement with which
they are surrounded—and the utter heartlessness
they learn froth all they meet with, both on and
off the stage. We should. not have blamed the
Edinburgh audience for showing the sense they
entertain of the conduct of both parties, had they
presented themselves as early to their notice, as
they did ou the boards of the London Theatres.
But there is, or at least their ought to be, a limit
to all resentments, and in the case of Miss
Foote, or of any other female so situated, to
carry it to a length which is to deprive her of the
meaus of supporting herself and tier family by
her professional talents, would he not only gross
ituustice, but, in all ; probability, au aggrava-
tion of the evil which it profesiPs to remedy.
We. trust therefore, that the matter will stop
here, and that we shall not see what origi-
nates in a correct feeling diverging into perse-
cution. We have little doubt but that the les-
sons which have been given will be of great use,
and.that,sce shall not again see the respectability
of - the stage sullied by any thing like what
the last .year has exhibited. We had meant to
stzy a word or.two upon the hard meed of justice
which has been dealt out to Miss Foote, while
he, who has caused her misery and disgrace, is
feceived ou other boards with favour and ap-
plause ; but our present remarks were confined
to what has taken place in Edinburgh, and this
part or the affair is what our Northern neighbours
are not answerable for.—(Thid.)
