LONDON,
SATURDAY MARCH 22, 1823.

Bayonne Papers to the 14th, which came to
hand this morning, state, that General GUILLE-
utuoT, the Chief of the Staff of the French Army,
arrived there on the 12th; as did also many Ge,
nerals of Brigade, and an incalculable number of
Employes belonging to the different departments.
Ale bridge constructing across the Bidassoa,
is to be completed by the Ist April. Nearly the
• Whole of the Duke of ANG,OULEME'S establish.
dent is arrived there. His HIGHNESS is expected
• before the end of the month, and it is supposed,
that 44 soon as he has reviewed his troops they will
be ordered to proceed into Spain by various routes,
, "less the negotiations on foot between France
and England should decide otherwise. One of
these Ppers also alleges that the Constitution.
theses are hardly making any preparations to op..
chsetbe invasion with the exception of 5 or 600
conscripts Who have arrived at Vittoria. Letters

from Saragosa of the sth say, that Gen. BALASTE•
nos, was expected there every moment. Gene-
ral O'DONNEL set out on the 13th instant for
Saint John Pied de Port, to organize the
Division of the French Army, which is
intended to enter Spain by that road.—
An English Courier passed through Bayonne
from Madrid on the 6th for London. He stated
that the KING, the Cortes, and Government,
were not to leave. Madrid till the 17th or
18th of March, and that Sir 'Wm. A'Coturr
and his Lady would follow them. The remainder
of these Papers state in general the great activity
which is daily carried on in the prospect of in-

vasion.

Frankfort Papers, received this morning, con-
tain the following article :-
46 CONSTANTINOPLE, FED. 10.-Our situation
has become more critical. Scarcely had Lord
STRANGFORD presented the note to the REIS
EFFENDI, than the Porte ordered an increase of
its amount by sea and land. The Janissaries
again begin to murmur, which makes it feared
that they will break nut into fresh' exces-
ses. To-morrow Lord STRANOFORD will have
a solemn audience of the Sultan. A few days
after there will be a great Divan, where the
answer to be made to the proposition of the
English. Ambassador will be discussed. In
the mean time Lord STRANOFORD, has ready
a Declaration, translated into Greek, to be
distributed in the revolted countries. It
states that they are not to expect any assistance
from the Christian Powers

We this day insert in our preceding columns
some further extracts from the Paris Papers of
Wednesday, which we received yesterday by
express. From the statement of the French
force which has been collected on the frontier, it
would appear that it is far from amounting to a
hundred thousand men. The troops at and near
&Yonne consist only of forty-seven thousand
men. The corps which is forming at Perpignan is
to be fifty thousand more; but the moment for
commencing hostilities approaches, and it is
now acknowledged that the preparations of
France are not yet complete! The KING bad
announced at the opening of the Session that a
'hundred thousand Frenchmen were reacts to
march! On the part of France all has hitherto
been boasting and gasconade. On that of Spain,
the expression of an unconquerable resolution to
maintain her independence, has been accom-
panied by a frank and honourable avowal of the
perils and difficulties of the struggle, and by an
activity and vigour of Preparation at once com-
mensurate with the magnitude and imminency of
the danger, and indicative of a fixed determina-
tion to maintain the conflict to the last. We
shall soon see to which side victory will incline.
The Constitutional troops in Catalonia are ad-
vancing upon the French frontier ; and the
foreign legion, 'which has been organised at Bar-
celona, was embarked on the 4th instant for the
same destination. The Brest fleet, which sailed
some time since, under the command of Admiral
11 AMELIN, has been dispersed and shattered by
a tempest.

The intelligence from Ancona, Trieste, mid
Zante, in our present Paper, is highly favourable
to the heroic Greeks, who may now be consider.
ed as having achieved their independence.

[FaOM A CORRESPONDENT.)
STOCK EXCHANGE, Half-past Twelve &Clack.—
Since you received your Express from Paris yes-
terday, there have been seven Expresses from that
Capital, three of them this morning. They do not
bring news of any importance. The French Funds
were 78f. 35c., so that the Speech of Mr. CANNING
had produced a rise of only H2O cents.—:Private
letters from Paris state that the King of SPAIN
was to leave Madrid on the 15th inst. Consols
opened this morning at 74f 2, at which they
are steady, with a flat Market.

FOREIGN PUNDS.—Very little business is doing
in this Market. Spanish Bonds opened at‘26ll.- li.
It is again rumoured that the new Spanish Loan
will be brought into the Market.

Extract of a Letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Constantinople,
dated February 10.

44 Lord S'rßANoavttu. had a conference► at the
Porte on the 30th ult. Viscotint BEAURESSAINE,
French Charge d'Affairs, is arrived. The smaller
vessels of the Turkish Fleet are preparing for sea."

)Extract of a Letter from the Agent at Smyrna, dated Jan. 31.
" His Majesty's ships Cambrian anti Rose re-
main in .11ort. •We continue to enjoy perfect
tranquillity.

We received this morning Philadelphia Papers
to the '26th February.- -The following are Ex-

tracts :

[Prom the Advertiser, Feb. 251

" We have received a Carracas Paper of the
23t1 January, from which we collect the follow-

ing concerning the military operations ih the
neighbourhood. On the 25th December a Spanish
squadron of nine vessels arrived at Gibraltar, and
on the debarkation of their troops, Gen. Clementi
fell back to Poroseco, where he remained on
the Ist. Morales followed, and took possession
of Truxillo on the 30th December. The force of
Morales consists of 1,300 men. The latest of our
Papers contain no news from the armies, which
seem to augur nothing favourable.
[From the National Advocate, Feb. 24.]

" The brig Georgetown Packet has arrived
from Laguira, by which we learn that the pro-
spects were more flattering than had been for
some months back, said to be on account of the
confidence of the people in the Government.—
General Morales, long the dread of the Colom-
bians, was completely surrounded by the troops
under Generals Paez and Montilla ; his escape
was deemed impossible. The Columbian squad-
ron had the complete command of the sea.
" Cirmt.—A. general Convention was to be as-
sembled in Peru, to determine' on a form of Go-
vernment.

" LIMA.—San Martin, resumed the Supreme
Government on the of August."
A Proclamation has been issued by the PRESI-
DENT of the United States, informing that the
Convention of Navigation and commerce of
America, between the United States and France,
has been ratified.

-~--.

We understand, by private letters from New
York this morning, that the Amendment to the
new Tariff Bill has been thrown out of Congress.

Both Houses of Parliament were last night
occupied with important business. In the House
of Lords, on the Order of the Day being read
for the house going into a Committee on the
National Debt Reduction Bill, the Earl of LI-
VERPOOL defended the Sinking Fund, as now
proposed to be established, in one of the most
lucid and argumentative speeches ever uttered
on a question of economical science vvithin the
walls of Parliament. The expences of the late
wary as his Lordship observed, had not im-
poverished the country. 4' War, by creating
artificial markets, might give a stimulus to
the capital of the country, and increase
its wealth." The calamities which had arisen
out of the progress and termination of the
contest were not owing to any dimininution
of the national wealth, bid to the changes of
property which the increase of taxation in the
first place, and its diminution subsequently una-
voidably occasioned. The recurrence of similar
evils, in future wars, could only be prevented
by the existence of a Sinking Fund, which could
be appropriated to the discharge of extraordinary
expences,and thus obviate the necessity of imposing
new taxes ; and though a Sinking Fund of five mil-
lions might not be found sufficient for defraying
the expences of a war; yet as far as it went,
it was obvious that its effect must be to prevent
those evils, arising from the violent transfer
of property, which had alr'eady been so se-
verely felt.--In the House of Commons, Mr.
WALLACE'S Warehousing Bill, after an inef-
fectual opposition, went through a Committee,
and WWI ordered to be reported on Monday.
Mr. STUART WORTLEY wished that time might
be allowed for the woollen manufacturers of
Yorkshire to consider how their interests would
be affected by the Bill ; and Mr. THOMAS WIL.
SON WUS desirous that the exception in favour of
" silk and linen" should be extended to " woollen"
manufactures. On the division, however, the
majority for going into the COmmittee was 82 to
8. We fear that the effect of this Bill, while
it may for a time be favourable to foreign
commerce, will be most injuriously and indeed
ruinously felt by many branches of the na-
tional industry. The London Watch Trade, we
nuderstand, are amongst the classes of menu-
fucturers who anticipate serious injury from its
operation. The Citat,iceLt.oa of the EXCVEQUER,
in the Committee to consider of the Beer Duties
Acts, brought forward a series of Resolutions
for permitting an intermediate quality of beer
between the present strong and small beer to
be brewed for sale. The principal features of
the Right Hon. Gentleman's proposal are,
that it shall be competent for any person to
take out a Licence for selling Beer or Ale
of a quality not exceeding in price 275. per
barrel, and paying a duty of ss. per barrel ;
that the beer shall be sold in any quantity down
to a pint;--that it shall not be consumed on the
premises where it is sold ;—that brewers and
publicans shall not be allowed to brew
n
sell the o
beer of intermediate quality the
r
Premises where they carry on their ordi-
nary business ;—and that the persons sell-
ing the new quality of beer shall he free
from the control of the Magistrates. The pro-
posed measure was opposed by Mr. Alderman
WOOD, on behalf of the publicans, two thousand
of whom, the Hon. Member stated, were amongst
his constituents.--The proposition, however, if
carried Into a law, will be highly favourable,
in, our opinion, to public morals, and to the
peace, comfort, and prosperity-of many thousands
of families, who are now destroyed by the asso-
ciations of the pot-house. Though it must be
admitted that it will prove injurious to the pre-
sent Brewers and Publicans, it is a great boon to
the working and middling classes, and will have
a beneficial influence on the agricultural interest.,

ORATORTO.—The season concluded last night
at Drury-Lane Theatre. It has been remarkably
successful, as might be expected from the ex-
tensive arrangements which had been made to
support the entertainment with the best Per-
formers, vocal and instrumental, and, for that
purpose, it was obvious that no expence had been
spared. CAMPORESE, Mrs. SALMON, Miss STE.
PIIENS, MISS FORGE, MISS POVEY, BRAIIAM,
BELLAMY, SAPIO, TEanAtr., &c. &c. formed a
vocal host. The instrumental department was
ably filled by BocnsA, Sir GEORGE SMART,
Mont, and other distinguished Performers. The
Selections were judicious, and the whole was
brought forward with correctness, force, and
animation. The success, therefore, which attended
it was a due tribute to the general excellence of
the entertainment.

ROYAL ACADEMY.—Mr. FLAXMAN, in his
Lecture on SCULPTURE, on Monday last, with
that liberal spirit which always characterizes
true Genius, paid a just and feeling tribute to the
memory of CANOVA. lie dilated with learning,
judgment, and taste upon his talents and his
private virtues. The learned Professor stated,
that highly as the merits of CANOVA were distin.
guished in every country, he was equally admired
a'nd esteemed in his own, for the goodness of his
heart and the general excellence of his personal
character. lie dispensed the means, observed
Mr. FLAXMAN, which the great encouragement
that attended him placed at his disposal with'
the most liberal and benevolent spirit ; and the
tenderness and beauty of his style of art
were emanations of his own mind, combining,
perhaps, more of the real grace and liveliness
of Nature with the classical and select forms of
the Antique, than has been seen in any other
Sculptor. The Professor enumerated and de-
scribed the principal works of the great departed
Artist, and impressed upon the students a due
consideration► of the debt of gratitude which
every English Artist owes to his memory, for the
unvaried kindness with which he never failed
to receive them at Rome. We regret that we
have not had an opportunity of following Mr.
FLAXMAN through the whole of his admirable
series of Lectures during the course, and still
more that on Monday next it reaches its conclu-
sion. ft is hardly necessary to add, that this
liberal and learned tribute to the merit of CANOVA
from an Artist, who is himself so highly and so
justly distinguished, could not but excite in the
audience the warmest feeling of respect, esteem,
and admiration.

MRS. Stop°Ns.—We are very sorry to hear
that the death or her brother STEPHEN, her sister
Mrs. Twigs, and her brother Jottm, within a few
mouths, has deeply affected th© health as well as
the feelings of this once unrivalled ornament of
the theutriCal world,

THE LATE MR. K cal /It v.—Erroneous accounts
of the property and the bequests of Mr. liumuLt
have appeared in the► public journals. We are
assured that they are gross exaggerations..
It has been absurdly said that an old play-bill
states Mr. J. P. KEMBLE. to have performed at
Worcester on February 12th, 1767. The truth
is, that he was born on the first of that month, in
that very year.

A 'new Comedy is expected at Covent-Garden
Theatre, from the pen of Mr. LUNN, an Officer of
the Army, who hus already distinguished himself
in the literary world by several humorous Poems,
which are marked by considerable knowledge, as
well as by the true vis comica, and whose cha-
racter is highly respected in private life. This
Gentleman has written a tragedy, of which
Regulus is the hero, and which may rank with
the best productions of the same kind that have
appeared in later days. We hope to see it grace
the Stage.
The Trial, Convictionf and Order for Execu-
tion of John Coleman, for the Murder of Mr.
JAMES SMITH, of Lewisham, will be given at
Length in Tail ENGLISHMAN of To-morrow. THE
