talion of the regiment of the Asturias, reported, that in their
opinion,_ the weapon ought to be restored to General Riego, in
order that he may with it defend the constitutibn and the mo-
narchy, and that, at the General's death, it shoUld be placed
with the distinction it merits in the national araiory, by the side
other illustrious arms which have defended the rights of Spain.
The report was approved,. and the §ame Committee was or-
dered to present the sword to General Riege, and to cause an
inscription to be ingraved upon it, declaring,t to be the proper-
ty of the country.
The first Committee of Legislation repo7ted that they had
considered the propokition signed by several Deputies, request-
ing.the Cortes to decree that no Deputy should, during the
period of his deputation, transact busineSs Personallyunder any
title in the offices of the Secretaries of Despatch: The Com-
mittee concurred entirely in the propolition;but nevertheless
abstained from recommending its apprcval, as it had been
signed by the greater part of the Members of the Committee.
• A long debate arose on this report. 2.rguelles and Valdes
were the principal speakers against the proposition";
.and Ga-
liano and Infante for. it. The question king put, the proposi-
tion was approved by 77 votes against 48.

Chamber that the first article (the point in de- 1
bate) be not put in deliberation, when a part of
the Members of the Chamber declared that they
were not provided with the means of discussing it,
and that the sitting be adjourned to the following
day." The Left loudly expressed their gratitude
to the Minister, and the Right either dared not,
or would not refuse his request, which was una-
nimously acceded to. This lesson will, we trust,
not be lost upon the Ultras; and if should teach
them moderation in the hour of strength, it would
do more to conciliate the feelings of the nation
and to serve the best interests of the Monarchy,
than even salutary measures, intemperately sup-
ported, and carried through with insolent triumph
and offensive exultation.

Joseph Jacobsen, J. U. D. and Upper Court Advocate:.--
Zealous, from a genuine impulse of humanity, in promoting
useful duties ; his attachment to the liberal sciences was the
,cause of that unwearied assiduity which marked his career iv
the eifOrts he made to advance the weal and prosperity of his,.
native land. As a practical, sound, lawyer, his merits were al
the first order ; and as a writer on Maritime Rights, the aripli-
tilde of the knowledge he betrayed will make his name live ia
the page of History. The Republic of Hamburgh had to thank
him for many most valuable papers and essays—ati tending
promote the great cause of benevolence and philanthropy, whist
he.published from time to time in the literary Journals of fat'
City.—To strangers he 'Was truly courteous ,and hospitaoc,'
hence the melancholy pleasure which the writer of this artcLe

SHOOTING.—The 'dry weather has been unfavourable to
Partridge shooting ; the birds are said to be numerous, but re-
markably shy ' • add to which, there is no scent. The inex-
perienced shot has therefore come off short.—The number of
certificates taken out is said to be considerably less than last year.

A subscription has been entered upon for the
purpose of presenting a piece of plate to E. L. OKE, Esq. as an
acknowledgment of the pleasure which that Gentleman so ma-
terially contributed to produce in the revival of the Southampton
Races.

A board is erected in front of the ground of a
Cockney, about ten miles from town, on which the subjoined
notification is printed :
" Dogs and Cats are cautioned against entering this Plea-
sure Garden, for if they'do, they are assured that they will be
shot."

POETRY.

• -TO MISS CAREW,'
OF. , THE ENGLISH .OPERA. HOUSE.

Thy namesake, Bamfylde Moore CARE W,
Of Beggars was the KING,
Yet not from such his blood he drew,
But from a noble spring. *

Beggars are not content to-ask,
'Tis said, and claims belief,
For begging oft is but a mask,
To hide a subtle thief.

Hence from his race, we may surmise,
You gain'd alluring arts,
But you disdain the Beggar's 'guise,
And 'steal at once our hearts.

lience'too we all may well beware,
Since could we 'scape thy face,
Thy voice, thy talents, would ensnare,
And mild endearing grace.

Still stronger is thy potent spell
The captive heart to bind,
For all admire, who know thee well,
The merits of thy mind.

There Virtue holds her gentle sway,
Good sense and modest pride,
A temper with discretion gay,
And eery charm beside.

Then who that lost his heart to you
Would of the theft complain ?
Or strive his passion to subdue?
No—glory in his chain !

And if, how blest would be th' exchange !
You freely gave your own,
He for no other fair would range,
But live for you alone.

SPAIN.

The following are additional Extracts from
the Madrid Papers, received on Sunday :--,
MADRID, AUG. 31.
On the 27th, Blas and Baltasar, leaders of the insurrection
in Alcaniz in December last, suffered the punishment of death
at Saragossa.
It is confidently asserted that the present Ministry has de-
cided on convoking Extraordinary Cortes, and that in order to
come to an agreement on this point, some of the Secretaries of
Despatch held a conference on the 28th with the permanent
deputation. The convenience or inconvenience of this measure
has already become the subject of conversation. Some are of
opinion that the executive power should be left to perform its
labours without restraint, and with all that prudent energy
which the present circumstances require. Others consider .the
idea of convoking Extraordinary Cortes .as a very judicious
one, and they found their opinion not only on the critical situa-
tion of present circumstances, and 'on. the future occurrences
which they must produce, considering the present state of the
whole of Europe, but also on the belief that the mere fact of
the existence of thel assembled Cortes would give greater confi-
dence to the Government, and to all the friends of the constitu-
tion, and woulli, at the same time, efficaciously contribute to-
wards maintaining the respect which we have a right to exact
from other Powers.

For our parts we do not doubt that if the present Ministry
convoke the Extraordinary Cortes, they will be actuated by a
full conviction of the utility of such a measure. We must not
forget also that there is business now pending, which it would
be impossible to discuss except in Extraordinary Cortes. And
as for the probability of the action of the Executive Power
being paralysed by this measure, if we saw any likelihood of
such an event, we should be among the first to give a decided
opinion contrary to the intended convocation ; but we do not
apprehend that this can be the case;—first, because the risks
which equally threaten all will keep every mind united towards
the fulfilment of the principal object, which is the destruction
of the infamous faction which seeks to enslave us and to bring
round again the bloody and,disgraceful days of the six years of
inquisition and ignominy ;—secondly., because the present Mi-
nistry may rely on an indubitable majority in the Cortes, not
only for the reason.we have already nientioned, but also because
the party which may now be called the opposition is, generally
speaking, composed of men who feel the necessity of maintain-
ing the Government, and that such is the foundation of their
principles, is manifest; and thirdly, because the Cortes, as-
sembling to consider affairs determined in the order of convo-
cation, cannot in any manner embarrass the Government, which
should devote exclusively all its resources to the establishment.
of that order and tranquillity which we all desire. —(EI Uni-
versal.)
On the 28th, thirteen armed men passed by the way of Avila.
They were pursued, and seven of them taken, who proved to be
deserters from the Guards who were dispersed in the affair of
the 7th of July.

DONCASTER RACES, SATUIIDAIN SEPT. 14.

The Races may be said to have commenced this,day, and we
do not ever recollect observing a greater assemblage of spectators

" The King wishes, to. ake you the channel of conveying to
the Highland Chiefs and their followers, who have given to the
varied scene which we hare witnessed so peculiar and romantic
a character, his particular thanks for their attendance, and his
warm approbation of their uniform deportment. He does jus-
tice to the ardent spirit of loyalty by which they are animated ;
and is convinced that he could offer no recompence for their ser-
vice so gratifying to them as the assurances which I now con-
vey, of the esteem and approbation of their Sovereign."
The same agreeable communication has been made by Sir
Walter Scott to the various Chiefs of Clans and Highland Gen-
tlemen, who gave their attendance during the royal visit.—
( Caledonian Mercury.)

Two.companies of the 73d Regiment of Foot (General George
Lord Harris, G.C.B. Colonel), are ordered to march from
Weedon on Thursday next, for Chester Barracks, in order to
relieve a detachment of the 15th (or York East Riding) Regi-
ment of Foot (Lieut-General Sir 31. Disney, K.C.B. Colonel),
ordered to Dublin, where it is expected to arrive on Friday,
the 27th inst. _ 2 . . .

The 66th Regiment passed through Newcastle- last week on
its route from Edinburgh to Sunderland Barracks. The 3d
Dragoon Guards have arrived at Newcastle Barracks, from
the same7,city.
Yesterday forenoon the 13th Regiment, at present in the
Castle, was reviewed on Burntsfield Links, by Major-General
Sir T. Bradford, the Commander-in-Chief, who was pleased to
express himself in terms of high commendation at the clean,
steady, and soldier-like appearance of the corps.—Forty.four
fine young men, raised in Scotland for the Honourable East
India Company's service, were embarked at Leith yesterday
forenoon for Chatham, previously to sailing for India.—( Edin-
burgh Courant, Sept. 14.)
GLASGOW SHARPSHOOTERS.—Major R. Douglas Alston
has been appointed Lieut.-Colonel Commandant of this very
fine corps, in the place of Lieut.-Colonel Hunter, who retired
about two months ago.

SEPTEMBER 1.

It appears that all the political chiefs and commandants of
districts are to be ch:,.ngetl. This measure will give satisfac-
tion to most patriots, who are convinced that the subaltern au-
thorities ought to be in a state of perfect harmony with those
who command, if it be wished to prevent confusion and dis-
order in the administration of public affairs.
The Queen's indisposition still continues, and no improve-
ment appears to have taken place in the state of her Majesty's
health.
Don Joaquin Villanueva, canon of Cuenca, is appointed Mi-
nister at the Court of Rome. What will the exclusive and
routine prosopopeia of our diplomatists say to this ?
It was yesterday observed by Copons in a private circle, that
he had fallen into disgrace, not for what he had done, but for
what he had said.

relative to the affairs of Montevideo, and other things which
were considered offensive to the national dignity.
If this be tr 4 2, we are of opinion that the reasons which in-
duced our Minister to return the note must have been of the
weightiest nature, as their importance alone could justify such
a step, considering the present circumstances of the two nations,
and the enlightened patriotism of Don Evaristo San Miguel.
We certainly think that, under the critical circumstances
which the present state of Etirope presents, it would be proper
to sacrifice to the principal and most interesting object every con-
sideration of minor importance and' all diplomatic etiquette.
Whatever discussions may at present exist between Spain and
Portugal should be reserved for periods of greater tranquillity ; ,
and then, whatever seeds of discord may have been planted
between two people of whom nature and the conformity of
their institutions have conspired to form one great family,
would be dissipated by means of compacts and amicable ar-
rangements.
We are therefore persuaded, that if the fate of this note has
been such as we have been informed, that the Minister, with
that noble spirit of liberality which characterizes enlightened
officers, will,remove every obstacle which may retard the course
of this urgent negociation, which the present serious aspect of
affairs and the wishes of every lover of liberty earnestly require.

The national ship San Pablo has arrived at Barcelona with
two millions of reals, and troops belonging to the light bat-
talion of the Canaries. •

By accounts from Vich we learn that the Canon Coraus, and
Mossen Pedro Palau, porter to the Chapter, have been arrested.
The Bishop is closely 'guarded in his Palace.
The town of San Felice du Guixolls was attacked on the 21st
of August by the party of Mossen Anton. The banditti com-
mitted the greatest atrocities, not merely on the Liberales, but
also on a great number of Priests and Serviles, who used to be
passionate admirers of the Army of the Faith.
It appears certain that Labrador has been appointed by the
Regency of the Rebels to attend the Congress of Verona ; and
Vargas, their Minister Plenipotentiary, to the Court of Rome.

OLD BAILEY—(Tnis DAY.)

FORGERY.—Thomas Newby was indicted for
feloniously forging a piece of silver plate, bear-
ing the mark of the Goldsmiths' Hall Company.
Mr. PRENDERGAST, Counsel for the prisoner,
advised him to plead guilty, to which he can-
sented.—M r. ALLEY observed, that the Company
would not offer any evidence on this indictment,
but he wished it to he understood'• that this was
the last case where mercy would be extended:—
The prisoner, who is extremely deaf, was charg-
ed on three other indictments for selling such
pieces of plate with forged and counterfeit
marks as aforesaid. To these the prisoner
pleaded not guilty, and was removed from the
bar for the present.—After the other prisoners
had been arraigned, Mr. BOLLAND stated he
should offer no ,evidence on the subsequent in-
dictments,—The prisoner, for the offence, is
subject to seven years' transportation.—Mr.
Justice BEST said, he hoped that the mercy ex-
tended on this occasion would not facilitate the
commission of the crime.

BOXING.

The battle between Flowers, the blacksmith, and Weston,
the farmer, took place yesterday in the Ashton Pigeon Club-
fields, Oxon, for one hundred sovereigns. The fight was stop-
ped on Thursday last in another county, but it was one of great
interest between the Ashton and Midgham Pigeon Clubs, and
the beaks were not allowed to have every thing their own way,
as nothing but fighting was meant. Flowers, who was backed
by the Midgham Club, had served many a tidy customer, and
Weston had often kicked elite traces. Nothing less than mis-
chief was meant.

Sydney, March 3, 1822.
(GENERAL ORDERS.)
The Commander of the Forms has to express the high grat'-
fication and approbation of the very clean, uniform, and sol-
dier-like appearance of the 48th Regiment of Foot, at the in-
spection of that corps this day in Hyde Park. The different
movements, formations,•and changes of position, were well and
accurately executed. The advance in line was admirable, and
the firings were close, regular, and well kept up.
The Commander of the Forces cannot too highly commend
the zeal and pleasing assiduity of Colonel Erskine, C.B. in sus-
taining the discipline of the fine corps that has the good fortune
to be commanded by him. Major-General Macquarie accord-
ingly requests that he will accept for 'himself, and convey to
the Officers and Soldiers under his command, the best congra-
tulations for their steady discipline in the field, and orderly
conduct in their quarters.
The Major-General will, to-morrow, at Eleven o'clock in the
Forenoon, inspect the books of the 48th Regiment of Foot, at
the Officers' mess-room, and will afterwards proceed to inspect
the Barracks and Hospitals of that corps.
By Command of his Excellency the Commander of the Forces,

HARDENED OFFENDER.

of i whamYanoven, Esq., of the Ordnance Office, a silk
handkerchief, his property. The prisoner was Seen to take
.the handkerchief from the pocket of . the prosecutor, and was
intantly sectired.—The Jury found him Guilty. •

tence of the Court was, that he should be transported for the
term of his natural life.

DRUELYZANE.—A numerous audience last night
manifested their taste in attending The School for
Scandal, in which .Mr. ELLISTON gave a very
ipirited personation of Charles Surface, and in
which the other cliaracters were well supported.
The new face of Old and. Young was brought for-
ward again, and Miss CLARA FrSIIER again
delighted the audience with admirable truth,
humour, and feeling, in her four assumed cha-
racters.

COVENT-GARDEN.--The very great merits of
Mr. C. KEMBLE, and Miss F. H. KELLY, in
Romeo and Juliet, have obviously made a strong
impression on the public, as may fairly be in-
ferred from the. attraction which attends them,
and indeed perhaps in no slight degree from the
grandeur and beauty with which the Tragedy is
brought forward.—We ought to notice the merit
Of MEADOWS in the simple part of the poor
_Apothecary, in order to express our surprise that
with so much merit he should, last night, have
suffered some unjust disapprobation from a few
illiberal spirits in the Gallery.

♦NSR'ER OF Hlq ROYAL HIGHNESS TO HIS FATHER.

Rio de Janeiro; Sept. 18.
I have had the honour to receive from your Majesty a letter,
dated the 2d of August, in which your Majesty reprehends me
for my mode of writing and speaking of the Lusi-Hispanic fac-
tion which, permit me to say, holds your Majesty in a state o f
compulsion, in which I and my Brazilian brethren sorely la-
ment you should be placed. I can write in no other ways, and
as the Tines are to be scanned by the infamous Deputies of the
despotic party of the Cortes, it is fit they should be so com-
posed. And, being now well informed that your Majesty is
positively a prisoner, I write this last letter, on questions al-
ready decided by the Brazilians, in the same manner as before;
because, with a perfect knowledge of the cause, I am convinced
that in the state of coercion to which your Majesty is reduced,
you must act contrary to your liberal opinion. Let my disin- 1
beritance be decreed—let all the aggressions of which a club of
Carbonafi are capable be perpetuated, I shall never
return. Before I die, I shall have to say to my
clear Brazilians—' You see how I have exposed myself
for the country—do you imitate me.' Your Majesty or-
