ENN HENRI , Tarobone.Mnjor to Napo-
leon, will have the honour of Performing (for the first
Wile in this Country) on MONDAY NEXT, January 24th.
"The. Public is respectfully acquainted that the P::RFOR3I-
ANCE of JEAN HENRI is not the mere noisy and mono-
tonous beat of the Drum, but that he has raised it to a Mu-
sical Art, by playing on Fifteen differently toned. Drums, in a
soft and harmonious style, at one time forming a novel and
complete Instrument. He accompanies a full 31ilitary Band,
?tild goes through various unrivalled evolutions ; particularly,
in beating.one rapid March, he causes 28 Drumsticks to fly in
the air in all directions, catching them in a peculiar manner
under his arms and legs. He will be dressed in the Uniform
he wore with the late Emperor at Elba, and will beat Napo-
Vs Entry into Paris, as performed by him on that occasion.
Plays on his various Drums, passing from one to the other
with such astonishing rapidity that the eye of the spectator can
scarcely follow his hands. The whole performance has been
greatly admired on the Continent, at all the principal Courts,
lastly, honoured with the approbation of his Majesty the
of Prussia..:—Doors. open at Half-past 7, begin at 8.

WEDNESDAY EVENINGLONDON,, JAN. 19, 1825

The Paris Papers of Sunday, and the Etoile
dated Monday, are chiefly filled with party or
Political discussions. We have inserted, in a
Preceding column, another able article from tbe
Journal des Debuts, respecting the recognition of
the South American States by this country,
which is evidently the production of M. de Cii.t-
'?Aufl"IANn. The Noble Writer satisfactorily
s9ews that we have acted in strict consistency
with the principles of justice and policy, and his
elisetvations on the cases in which Colonies ac-
quire the right of emancipating themselves are
Wt.ll founded and undeniable. We annex the
other articles of news in the Paris Journals :
[From the ]tfonitear of Sunday, Jan. 16.1
The Official part contains the promulgation of the law re-
''llecting the Civil List, as adopted by the two Chambers.
Also two Royal Ordinances ; the first relative to the contract
made by a M. Sartoris, for finishing the canals, called that of
the Duke of Angouleme, and that of the Ardennes : the second'
relative to a Lead Mine Company at Chabrignac.
( From the .Etoile dated Jan. 17.)

ST. PET ERSISLI null, DEC. 27.
An Order of the Day issued on the 24th, contains very nume-
rous promotions in the army.
The number of affairs which pass through the third section
of the office of the Minister of Finance becoming more and
tltore considerable, his Majesty the Emperor, by an Ukase of
do 17th instant, has ordered that it shall take the name of
(cSpecial Office for the Operations of Credit," and be compos-
ed of three sections, according to the regulation of the Ministry
of Finance.

The Chancellor of State Vronschensito, who acted as chief
of that section, is appointed Director of the new office.
The most distinguished inhabitants of Moscow gave, on the
7th inst., in the Saloon of the Club of the Nobility, a concert
f3t the benefit of the sufferers by the inundation of the 19th of
,November; the receipts amounted to a very considerable sum.
Several of the nobility of both sexes performed in the concert,
43.1t'e1l as many other amateurs, and the first professional per-
formers in Aloscow.

PARIS, JAN. IQ.
The Court will go into moprning on Tuesday next for three
weeks, on occasion of the death of his Majesty the King of the
Tao Sicilies.

The official journal of St. Domingo, the Courier Francais,
Pretends to see a wise reserve on the part of President foyer,

in his omission of the most important document among all
thoie which he has just published—the Royal Ordinance which
was communicated to Messrs. Rouanez and Laroze by the Mi-
nister of the Marine. Truly, that is a strange reserve which lays
before the public the most insignificant documents,even letters of
no importance, and omits precisely the very document which
it would have been the most curious to know. What must be
inferred from this is—and we have already said so—that this
paper contained clauses favourable to the colonists—favourable
even to the present inhabitants of St. Domingo; and that it
was adverse only to the pretensions of Boyer and of the Haytian
Government. This is what Boyer did not wish the inhabitants
of Hayti to know.

The Journal des D: bats has correspondents at Madrid and at
Vienna, by whom it is equally deceived. How could the one send,
it a long letter on pretended secret articles between France and
Spain, and the other write that the Emperor of Austria had au-
thorised a Catholic community to become Protestant ? France
and Spain have no need of secret articles between them, and the
Emperor of Austria does not give such permissions.

Two journals, it is evident with what view, say to-day that
the Minister is going to withdraw the two projects of law on the
indemnity and the renter, because the Chamber of Deputies
disapproves of them.
It is remarkable, on the contrary, that the two Committees
appointed to examine the two projects, announce in the Cham-
ber the perfect agreement with the Government which the King
desired in his speech from the throne.
( From the Courier Francais of Sunday. )

Pants, JAx. 15.—There is at present much obscurity in the
diplomatic intrigues of which Lisbon is the centre. The Eng-
lish Journals; which have not so sttift, but d More certain means
of communication with that capital, will not be long in bring-
ing to light those manoeuvres, which are ruined by being made
public.

It appears certain that Lisbon is the theatre of a sort of re-
volution ; that there has been a fierce struggle between the
partizans of the Queen, and the defenders of the Government
of John IV. ; and that, in consequence of these commotions,
the King has assembled the Cortes. We have not yet any de-
tails of the circumstances and nature of these events, but such
is the report that has been circulated in Paris for some days,
and which has acquired too much credit to he altogether desti-
tute of truth. It is likewise added, that Government has re-
ceived certain notice on this head.

We communicated yesterday the important in-
telligence that the Spanish General CANTERAC
had been completely defeated by Bot.tvAa, and
we are now enabled to give the substance of this
information from a Mendoza Paper of the 25th
October, brought to Liverpool by the Flora from
Buenos Ayres, the arrival of which ship with
this news we mentioned yesterday. The con-
test, it appears, was of the most sanguinary
character, and the victory is decisive of the fate
of South America :

NEWS FROM PERU.

Communicated from the city of Santiago by Senor Don Juan
de Dios Vial del ltio, President of the Court of Appeals, in
a letter to Don Rafael Ruiz de Arbulic, in the vicinity of the
Andes :

"SANTIAGO, OCTOBER 7.
," We have just received the news of the sanguinary battle
which has been fought between Bolivar and Canterac, on the
plains of Jauja, and which, in America, has never yet been
equalled : it was contested for four hours with the bayonet. The
loss of Bolivar amounts to 4,090 men; that of the enemy to 6,200.
Bolivar had marched rapidly towards Cuzco, in order to fall
upon the Viceroy Laserna, who was there in full security, not
expecting him. Let us give thanks to God, to whom we owe
all these advantages ! The ship which brought this news came
from Callao, and we learn from her that the enemy's troops had
abandoned Lima, and shut themselves up in Callao ; in con-
sequence of which, the people of Lima, in order to prevent the
city from being quite sacked, had solicited the Commander of
the English ship, Cambridge, to land 100 men to remain there,
and protect them from their troublesome neighbours.
" Every moment we expect intelligence from Truxillo, from
whence we shall have the details. Canterac declared before the
battle that he would 'give no quarter (la garrra a muerte), and
Bolivar did the same, not so much by the wish of his army, as
because it was necessary to follow the example of the enemy.
This, without doubt, was the cause of the great slaughter,

" JUAN DE Dzos DEL Rm."
Retract of a Letter, dated Buenos Ayres, Nov. ht.

" The mail from Chili brings intelligence of Bolivar having
defeated the Spanish General Canterac—the former losing 4,000
men and the latter 6,200. The battle took place in Peru on
the Plains of Jauja ; and when the news reached Lima, the
Spanish troops that were in that city instantly retired to the
fortress of Callao, leaving the rabble committing all manner of
depredations, until the Captain of the Cambridge, 74, landed
part of his crew, which had the desired effect of quelling the
rioters, and protecting the lives and properties of the respect-
able citizens."

Lisbon Gazettes to the 9th instant were re-
ceived this morning. They do not contain avy
intelligence of the least political importance.

It is not a little complimentary to the policy
of this country, that the King of the NETHER-
LANDS has thought proper to imitate the example
of our Government in entering into commercial
connexions with the Republics of Mexico and
Columbia. It is understood that these commer-
cial treaties will extend also to Buenos Ayres,
Chili, and Brazil. This conduct on the part of
the King of the NETHERLANDS shews that he is
a vigilant and sagacious Monarch, and attends to
the true interests of his country.

Philadelphia Papers to the 23d December ar-
rived this morning, and furnish the following
particulars of the gallant enterprise of the Co-
lombian Admiral Guist: against the Spanish ships
in Callao.

[Extract of a letter dattd on board the Colombianfrigate, Pro-
tector, in the Bay of Callao, July 17.]

In my last I informed you of the brilliant
action of Capt. Addison, who, with four boats
and 50 volunteers, burnt and sunk six vessels, in-
cluding the Spanish frigkes Venganta and Santa
Rosa, and drove them under the batteries of

Callao, it being very remarkable that he per-'
formed this service without losing a man. I
have now the pleasure to announce to you,
that on the Oth inst. Admiral Guise dispatched
Captain Robertson, accompanied by Captain
Fleiman, and Lieut. Sulmans of his vessel, with
125 men in nine boats, to take or destroy as
many of the enemy's vessels as were in Callao.
On entering the harbour the expedition was Op-
posed by more than 1000 soldiers and marines in
the vessuls,and 1,500 artillerymen who manned the
batteries of the castle, and kept up a tremendous
tire on our men. Notwithstanding this they
effected the object of the enterprise by destroy-
ing and taking the following vessels :
The President, of 20 guns, burnt.
Juanna Gordon, Flag ship, taken.
Perla, formerly of Chili, takEn.
A Brigantine, name unknown, taken.

A large vessel, name unknown, burnt.

The Protector, the Congress, and the Mace-
donia, were employed in diverting the attention
of tlm batteries ; but all the fire of the latter
were directed against the brave men charged with
the destruction of the vessels.

We yesterday noticed the Meeting of the
Land-Owners and others at Axminster, on the
subject of the proposed Ship Canal across the
Isthmus of Somersetshire, to form a junction
between the English and Bristol Channels. We
observed that no previous notice was given of the
Meeting, and that very few persons attended.
We have made farther inquiries on the subject,
and the result confirms the opinion which we
yesterday expressed on the subject, viz. that if
such a Meeting had been previously announced,
the Resolutions which then passed would
have been opposed by many persons of great
weight and interest in the Country, who would
have come forward with patriotic zeal in support
of one of the most stupendous and important
measures that ever were devised for tho im-
provement of our commerce and the safety of our
gallant countrymen.

The KING continues to reside at Carlton Palace,
in perfect health.
Dispatches were received yesterday at the Co-
lonial Departm.•nt, from the Governor,
General Sir G. L. COLE, G. C. 8., at the Mau-
ritius.

Yesterday the dispatches for St. Helena, Ben-
coolen, and China, by the ship Repulse, were
closed at the East India House, and delivered
to the Purser of that ship. _ _

It appears by letters lately received from Va-
lencia, that the Spanish Government has granted
to an English commercial house. in that city.,
(Messrs. O'SHEA and Co.), the 'privilege of lay-
ing down mooring-chains in the bay, which will
he a great security to vessels in that port.
A report was current yesterday,_ and has ob-
tained credit in the well-informed circles in the
city, that the Turks have accepted the mediation
of Austria to '.tittle their differences with the
G ree ks.—( Times.)
Captain FRANKLIN,• with the expedition for
proceeding to the mouth of Mackenzie's River,
sets off in a few days. They embark at Liver-
pool for New York, from whence they go to
Kingston, Upper Canada.
Mr. PLUNKETT means, early in the next Ses-
sion of Parliament, to make a motion'to place the
nomination of Sheriffs in other hands than those
in which it is at present vested. This, in Corpo-
rate Cities and Boroughs, would be a most 'de-
sirable object.
Among the on Bits of the literary world is one
that marks the kind-heartedneSs of Sir WALTER
Scorn. It is said, that upon hearing of the pre-
mature death of the late Rev. C. MATuntN, and
learning that he had left a widow but ill provided
for, and some unpublished manuscripts, Sir WAL-
TER. wrote to the unfortunate Lady a letter of
condolence, in which, among other kind expres-
sions of respect for the genius of the departed
Author, he gratuitously offered his editorial ser-
.
vices, for the purpose of giving those works to the
world in a form the most likely to be productive
to her of profit.

MR. SPENCER BRAIIAM.—Our Readers will
recollect that this young Gentleman, for whom
so great a degree of interest was manifested by the
Public at the time of his mother's death, the late
Madame SToaAcr., and who, iu consequence of
the supposed loss of her Will, has been deprived
of time whole of that property which he had every
reason to expect from her, is about to bring be-
fore the Spiritual Courts the whole of a case, by
which, it is said, a series of circumstances the
most distressing as well as interesting will be de-
veloped, which has hitherto so strangely depriv-
ed him of this considerable property.
EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE.—The following re-
markable case of suicide is taken from a French
Journal :—" An officer, only 27 years of age,
who followed his regiment on the road to Ville-
frauche, asked to purchase some straw of a wo-
man along the road. Finding it too dear-, he
went into a field, collected the stubble, and set it
on fire. Some peasants observed him from a dis-
tance stripping off his clothes, and imagined that
he meant to dry them ; but they saw him turn
several times round the blazing stubble, heap it
together, throw his garments into the fire, and
at last himself. They immediately ran to the
spot, and drew him out before he had been in
two minutes, but he had expired. A flame of
dazzling whiteness rose over his body, and seemed
scarcely to touch it. No particulars had been
discovered to explain the cause of this melan-
choly catastrophe, which seemed to have been
accomplished with all the determination of
llindoo spirit."

on his arrival by a merry peal from our church bells. On Sa-
turday the Earl and suite left us for Oxford.—( Cheltenham
Journal.)
BATH, JAN. 17.—The Season of Bath has now assumed its
wonted gaiety : the town is fall of fashionable visitors ; its
streets are crowded with the elegant and the fascinating, and
thelodging-housekeepers have no complaint of dullness of the

ing activity and bustle.
COLCHESTgII, JAN.l7.—The Christmas Ball, at the Three
Cups, on the 10th inst., Robert A. Crickett, Esq. and Joseph
Green Round, Esq. Stewards, was attended by upwards of 80
persons, copsisting of all the principal families of the town and
