WEEKLY CHRONICLE OF THE UNITED

SERVICE.

The undertaking here announced is the result of a con-
viction that has been long entertained, of the necessity for
some established medium of communication and intelli-
gence concerning all matters of interest to the two Martial
Services, to appear at shorter intervals than those hitherto
adopted. Occasions are incessantly arising, on which
the members of two professions, so important in number,
connections, and duties, as the Army and Navy, require
faci ities for immediate intercourse. These cannot be
afforded by the " Monthly Journal," which, during the
last five years, has hen recogni-ed as their established
channel for subjects and opinions admitting of leisurely
discussion and more elaborate treatment. It is, therefore,
conceived that a Weekly Paper, which, besides possessing
the essential recommendation of more frequent appearance,
shall concentrate in its columns every ray of information
which the inquirer must otherwise seek in scattered mis-
cellaneous sources, cannot but be most acceptable to the
members of the two Services.

In addition to a constant supply of useful information
on every subject of a professional nature, THE NAVAL
AND MILITARY GAZETTE will include all the im-
portant features of a Newspaper, so as to present a con-
densed view of general news, together with the most
ample details on the topics constituting its main purpose.
The arrangements made for the conduct of this Paper
insures the highest professional cooperation and the most
valuable contributions from the first Naval and Military
sources.

Ts
be published every Saturday afternoon, by W.
Thomas, 19, Catherine-street, Strand ; to whom com►uu-
nicatioos for the Editor (postage free) are requested to be
addressed.

LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 2, 1833.

There are no arrivals this morning from Por-
tugal. It was reported in the city that, after
the Cabinet Council yesterday, important de-
spatches were sent off by Lord PALMERSTON
to the English Consul at Oporto, and Lord
WILLIAM RUSSELL at Lisbon, relating to the
measures the British Government intended
adopting. Great hopes are entertained by Don
PEDRO'S party, that Lord PALMERSTON has
at length agreed to put an end to the struggle,
and acknowledge Donna MARIA as Queen.

We hear that the private letters from Mexico
of the 13th of December state that there has
been severe fighting between the army of Bus-
TANIENTE and that of' SANTA ANNA. The
former was defeated and submitted. PEDRASSA
has been declared President of Mexico.

The Vera Cruz Paper of the 15th of De-
cember contains a long convention made by
PEDRASSA and SANTA ANNA tO BUSTA-
MENTE, regulating a suspension of arms, which
BUSTAMENTE accepted. Commissions have,
in consequence, been sent to Mexico for its ap-
proval.

We beg to direct the particular attention of
our readers to an article in another part of The
Sun, extracted from the Morning Chronicle
of to-day, relative to the affairs of Jamaica. It is
long, but not longer than the importance of the
subject warrants. We quite agree in the ob-
servations made by our contemporary, and thank
GOD that the time is now come that we may look
forward with expectations, as well as hope, of
Colonial Reform. It is one thing to compel
one class of our citizens there to do justice to
a humbler class, and another thing to sanction
abuses in the administration which are equally
unjust to both.

The Paris papers of Thursday and the Mes-
sager des Chambres dated yesterday have been
received by express. They contain very little
news of any political interest. The Carlist jour-
nals still continue violently to attack the present
Government, and accuse it of having acted in
the most despotic manner in incarcerating the
Duchess of BERRY i❑ the Chateau de Blaye,
contrary to all right, as she is the mother of the
legitimate heir to the throne, HENRY V. The
last accounts from Blaye state that this Princess
is fast recovering. The insinuations respecting
her illness have proved to be incorrect. As it is
known that a certain Count had been her con-
stant attendant for some years past, the thing was
more than probable. Her relea,e is expected
soon to take place, on condition that Austria
will become responsible that she shall not make
any more romantic excursions in La Vendee.
A Cabinet Council was held on Thursday,
at which the KING presided; Marshal SouLT
and all the Ministers were present. They sat in
deliberation for several hours, when it appears that

the triple alliance between Prance, England, and
Austria, was strongly discussed and agreed upon,
as the French, and even the Austrian Ministers,
now see the absolute necessity of entering into
a strong alliance to put down the overwhelming
ambition of the Autocrat of RUSSIA. When
this treaty is ratified by the three Powers named,
the general hope in Paris is, that one of their
first steps will be to acknowledge the nationality
of Poland, and atone for the disgrace they had
brought down upon themselves in allowing
Warsaw to fall into the hands. of the Despot.
Daily interviews take place between the Aus-
trian, Prussian, and Dutch Ambassadors, and
the Duke de BROGLIE, Minister for Foreign
Affairs, for the final settlement of the Belgian
question. It is reported that the Dutch Mini-

ster had applied to Government to take off the
embargo on Dutch vessels ; the answer wag, that
as soon as Lord PALMERSTON should notify
his intentions to that effect, the French Mini-
sters would immediately comply. It is ex-
pected that it will soon be ordered, as
the present restrictions are most detrimental to
commerce, especially as the Dutch question is
now as little advanced, notwithstanding the
taking of the citadel of Antwerp, as it was two
years ago, and is likely to remain so for some
time to come.

A despatch has been received by Ministers,
that a cessation of arms had been entered
into by the Grand SULTAN and IBRAnnt
PACHA to give time for consideration what
terms were to be agreed upon. Important news
may be expected shortly from the East.
An express has also been received from the
French Consul at Lisbon, who, after having
had several interviews with the Count DE SAN-
TAREM, claiming immediate redress from the
Government of Don MIGUEL for the insult
offered to the French flag, and finding that none
would be granted, sent off a telegraphic order to
Brest for two vessels of the line to sail for the
Tagus with secret orders. This will have more
effect with the Usurper than remonstrances.
It is still reported that Government means
to reduce the army, and that the Minister of Fi-
nance intends presenting a plan to the Chambers
for paying off the Five per Cents, which he
has little doubt will give satisfaction to the
moneyed interest. It has long been wished for by
the holders of that Stock and the bankers.

The news from Spain, up to the 24th ult.,
mention that the capital was in a very disturbed
state, and that nothing but a complete change of
the Ministry, and the immediate assembling of the
Cortes, could save the Crown from the abomi-

_ __....
nahle conspiracies of the Carlists and Aposto
licals.

The advices from Oporto, via Bayonne, are
up to the 23d ult. Don PEDRO and Marshal
SOLIGNAC were making every preparation to
meet the enemy in the field. Strong reinforce-
ments were daily expected from England and
France.

Great preparations are making at the hotel of
Lord GRANVILLE, the British Ambassador in
Paris, for the approaching nuptials of the Hon.
Miss L. GOWER and Lord RIVERS.
The banquets given in London to the in-
triguing Corsican Count Pozzo DI BORGO, the
Russian Ambassador to the Court of the Tui-
leries, are the subject of much conversation in' the
political saloons of Paris, who consider that he
plays his part well for his master, the Autocrat,
both with Whigs and Tories.
Paris continues tranquil.

A Hague Journal has published a note of the
Spanish Ambassador, the Chevalier ZEA
BERMUDEZ, to Lord PALMERSTON, dated
the 7th November, which might have been
of importance as showing the official feelings
expressed by Spain upon the affairs of Por-
tugal, were it not likely that events passing
at Madrid , will change the policy of that
Cabinet to one of a more liberal nature, and
more favourable to the rights of Donna MARIA
than it has yet pursued. After detailing
all the endeavours made by Spain to induce
England to exert herself in favour of Don
MIGUEL, for of course that is what M. BER-
MUDEZ means by a settlement of the Portu-
guese question, and adverting to the visit of the
British squadron to the Tagus some short time
before the note was written, the Spanish Am-
bassador thus winds up :

" His Catholic Majesty, besides, cannot lose eight of
this, and the undersigned feels himself called upon to repeat
it, that the indefinite duration of civil war in a neighbour-
ing kingdom, allied under so many relations with
Spain, is one of those serious questions of which
the whole Spanish nation may foresee and calculate
the dangers, and which tends to excite masses of peo-
ple to great irritability. His Catholic Majesty, therefore,
thinks himself entitled to call once more upon the justice
and friendship of the Government of his Britannic Ma-
jesty, and to conjure him to advise with him in common
accord, as to the means of putting en end to the evil.
which so heavily oppress the unfortunate Kingdom of
Portugal by means of an aborr.inable attack, which can
only lead, as it is, to still more complications and discus-
sions."

One satisfactory feeling we have had on
reading this document, has arisen from the
proof it affords us of the firmness of our
Government in persisting in its refusal to
take any step in favour of the amiable person
who has " possessed himself," as the gentlemen
of the swell mob would call it, of the Crown of
Portugal.

WEEKLY NEWSPAPER FOR THE ARMY
AND NAVY..---It is singular that at a time when almost all
the various classes of society possess newspapers, or other
periodical works, appearing at short intervals, devoted to
their particular interests, those important bodies, the army
and navy, should up to the present time have had no dis-
tinct medium of information and reference but a monthly
Which, though of the highest character and
cannot comprise all those topics of tempo-
rary and daily occurring events, which especially

Marshal SOULT, on Monday, underwent an-
other operation in the leg, in consequence of the accident
he met with when attending the King on his journey, but
it was of so slight a nature, that he was able to be pre-
sent at the Council held by his Maj.-sty at the Tuileries in
the evening.—Freneh Paper.
