(From the British Monitor cf,Dee. 8.)
The Congress of, Verona was dissolvpl on the 26th of No-
vember. Its result, has been to leave Spain- to. France,—the
Greeks to the Turks,—the Turks to the Russians—the Nexpo-
litans and the PiednionteSe to Austria,—axd England to Met-
ternich ! Russia has a strait road and a sure, game before
her; and the Emperor Alexander Will doubtless in good tine
give his Holy Allies an account of his travels, dated from the
Seraglio ! Austria already holdS the stakes for which she played
at Troppau and Laybach. Indeed the accounts from Poland and
Russia say that Alexander has strengthened his armies. The Porte
also has retained the Asiatic troops, and has kept all her
forces on the war footing„and is besides, negociating a loan.—
It is certain that Turkey will be forthwith _attacketll—The
King of Prance has called out forty thousand of the Conscripts
for 1822.. He has now denianded, for the third time, but on
this occasion in his own name, the concessions from the Cortes
at Madrid which haVe been refused to the AllieS. If they are
again rejected, it is the resolution of his Government that Spain
shall be immediately • invaded. , The advance of the French
army, therefore, may be considered as a thing determined.—
, Still, until a blow be actually struck, it is possible that hostili-
ties may yet averted.
The following is an extract of a private-letter received yes-
terday :
" Paris, Wednesday Afternoon.
" Dispatches were sent off to Madrid on Monday evening
last, as well as on Stmday-; the Ministetial Journals circulate
the opinion that war will depend upon the answer received,
and of course that nothing hostile, except in the way of pre-
paration, will be done until that answer is obtained.. In the
mean time, speculation has been very busy as to the nature of
the requisitions on the part of France, and in the political
circles here ; they are said to be the following, and are spoken of
with much confidence.:—

" 1. The' restoration of the King to his personal freedom,
without delay ; for it is now distinctly underatood, that he is in
a state of confinement in his palace of the Retiro.
" '2. The restoration of the King'to his sovereign rights.
" 3. Such a change in the Constitution of Spain as snail give
to the Nobles a great share of the power they possessed under
the old regime.
" 4. The exclusion of the present Ministers from office, or,
at least, most of the Heads of the different Departments.
" 5. An amnesty for all persons, Of whatever rank, engaged
in the cause of the Regency. A
" 6. A snore strict regulation of the laws relating to the
Press.

_
" 7: The possession of certain strong places on the frontiers
of France, as a guarantee for the performance of any undertak-
ing into which the Spanish Government may enter.
" These articles have been handed about in a printed shape,
together with various arguments upon them, but they have not
yet found their way into any of the newspapers.
" It seems that the warlike preparations are continued to put
Spain in an attitude of defence. We have private accounts
from Madrid of the 25th ult. by which we collect, that there
had been some further angry discussions in the Cones on the
state of the relations with France, and on the proceedings of
the Congress. The War Minister has been empowered to
summon to the standard of their country all the friends of li-
berty. Madrid papers contain the proceedings of various public
societies on the subject, all of them calling upon the Govern-
ment to act with energy and decision. It does not appear that
the resolutions of the Cortes were carried by any great majo-
rity, and the equality of the balance produced a great de-
gree of personal rancour. The Minister at War, aided by
the Minister of the Interior, had adopted a course without
delay, conformable to the wishes of the National Repre-
sentatives."

This morning, at ten o'clock, there was nothing
on the Board of Lloyd's but two pages full on
the books of losses :
[Further Account.l
From the Board of the New England Coffee-house, Liver-
pool, Dec. 7 :—The Ellesmere and the Runcorn steam-packets
were run down by a flat daring the gales, and 9 persons were
drowned. Off this port this evening the Dido, Bliss, from
Philadelphia.

A true bill was on Saturday returned by the
Middlesex Grand Jury, on an indictment pre-
ferred by the Constitutional Association against
JouN Hum., for a libel in the 45 Liberal," called
the Vision of Judgment. '

THE THEATRES.

DRURT-LANE.—The -Opera of Artaxerxes, so

highly creditable to the genius, taste, and science
of our countryman, Dr. MINE, was bronght for-
ward at this Theatre on Saturday last. The chief
novelty was the performance of Mandane byMrs.
AUSTIN. Hee talents are much better suited to
characters in common life than to those of a
higher order, and Mandane in some degree par-
takes of the heroic. However she acquitted her-
self at least respectably. She received much ap-
plause in her songs, and was encored in "The Sol-
dier tied." Her delivery of the recitation was. ex-
pressive. Mr. BRAIIAM has so often been seen

in Arbaces, that it is only necessary,to say that
he sustained the part with his usual science,
taste, and energy. A judicious morning Critic
has said, that this part was originally' written for
a female. Ile' is mistaken; the part was designed
for TENDUCCT, who first performed it, and whose
manner of singing " Water paried from the Sea"
was so much admired, that it in a great degree
cOntributed to the
•popularity of the Opera, and
was the favourite air in all private families at the
time. There was a print of TENnucct, published
soon after, with the music of this song in his
hand.- Miss PovEY 'gave more importance to
Semira than has been usual. Mr. lloaNE was
oppressed by a cold, yet he rendered Artabanes
a prominent character. Whatever merit Mrs.
VESTRIS might display in the part of Artaxerxes,
we wish that the practise of putting females in
male characters were abolished. It totally
destroys the interest of the fable, which is one of
the chief gratifications attendant on the drama.
The farce, of Old and Young again presented Miss
CLARA FISHER before a numerous audience, to
the whole of whom she afforded great amuse-
ment, and from whom she derived much and well-
merited applause.
COVENT-GARDEN.--We :have nothing to add
respecting the Opera of Maid Marian, which
was repeated here on Saturday, and very well
received. The afterpiece was The London
Hermit, a whimsical play, written by O:KEEPTI.3
reduced into a Farce of two acts. • JACK JOHN..
STONE, as be is generally styled, was the original
representative Of Tully, the gardener, and was the
chief support of the piece. This character was re-
presented on Saturday by Mr. CONNOR, who dis-
played' so much merit in The Irish Tutor that his
probable success in Tully, which he gave with great
humour, might naturally lead to the revival of this
almost forgotten Play. The Farce is also well sup-
ported by JONES in Young Pranks, F AwcETT in
Whimmey, and Miss FOOTE in Kitty Barleycorn.
The Play has been so judiciously curtailed that
all the more diverting passages are preserved,
and the Farce altogether is likely to be very
popular.

Saturday dispatches were received at the Se-
cretary of State's Office for Foreign Affairs,
Downing-street, from the Duke of WELLINGTON ;
notice of which was sent to all the Cabinet Mini-
sters in London for them to attend the Office to
peruse them. .Copies of them were sent, in offi-
cial boxes, to the Cabinet Ministers who were a
short distance from town.

A Leeward Islands mail arrived on Saturday.
The letters from St. Thomas's, which are dated
the 4th of November, are silent respecting the
abandonment of Maracaibo by MottALEs, which
was stated in The American papers to have taken
place on the 19th of September, and if true could
scarcely have been unknown at St. Thomas's.—
It is stated, however, that three vessels of war,
two of them little inferior in strength to frigates,
had arrived at La Guayra'from New York, for
the service of the golumbian navy, which it was
supposed would render them superior in force to
the Spaniards at sea, who would then retain little
chance of keeping either Maracaibo or Puerto
Cavell() itself.

Letter from the Cape of Good Hope, dated
September 7, was received on Saturday. They
describe the injury to the colony from the recent
storms to have been very great. Great numbers
.of houses and warehouses have been blown down,
vineyards swept away, and roads destroyed or
rendered impassable. Settlers from A lgoa Bay,
among whom were persons originally most san-
guine in the success of the experiment, continued
to arrive at the Cape, having abandoned.all hopes
of establishing themselves in that country. The
crops of wheat at the Cape having been known
to have failed, cargoes of corn were arriving from
all parts of the world.
Previous to the Duke of CAMBRIDGE leaving
England, it was arranged between his Royal
Highness and the.Kiso that the latter should
visit his Hanoverian dominions at the close of
the summer of 1823, after the adjournment of the
Session of Parliament. During his MAJESTY'S
stay at Hanover, a. Grand State Christening of
the young Prince George is to take place, to
whom the KING has promised to stand Sponsor.
It has been stated in several of the J'apers
that the case of Mr. Serjeant ROUGH, late Presi-
dent of Demerara, as complainant against Gen.
MURRAY, the present Governor of that Colony,
had been decided on by the PriVy Council ; but
this, we understand, is incorrect, and that no
opinion on the matter at issue, which relates to
the administration. of justice and the privileges of
the Courts of Law at Demerara, has yet been
given.
SOUTHAMPTON, DEC. 7.—The Gobourg Packet
arrived at this port on Thursday, with 17 passengers. A strong,
feeling prevails in France that we are determined to assist the
Spaniards in case of a war. A letter has been received• here,
which states, that a skirmish has positively taken place between
the French and the Spaniards, on the frontiers,
DR. SLATER.—Ire our brief tribute to this
Gentleman, on Saturday last, we styled him Mr.
SLATER, but we understand that he had obtain-
ed a diploma, and practised as a Physician many
years at Margate with great success, and with a
'zealous and unabated spirit of benevolence, after
he relinquished' the profession. Few have .de-
parted from this life with a more exemplary
character, and whose last moments could be more
reasonably consoled with hopes of enjoying the
promises of a better.

Mr. LARKIN, who is under the tuition of Mr.
Bishop, will make his debat at Covent-garden
soon after Christmas. Report states that his
abilities are of the first description.
