BATH, JAN. 16.

The celebrated MACREAny has been perform-
ing here to crowded audiences. Be appeared
for the first time this season on. Wednesday, when
he enacted the charade+ of Macbeth. On Friday
he sustained the classic part of Virginias, de-
cidedly his best performance, in-which he was
ably supported on the present occasion by Miss
E. TREE (sister to Mrs. BRAOSUSW), as Vir.
enia., On Saturday the new play of
Tell was brought out bare, and received with
unmixed applause.,
With :the exception of the varied attractions of
the Theatre, the season has as yet been rather
dull ; however there is to be a grand Dramatic
Fête on the 25th, in honour of Lis MAj Erres
Birth-day, which promises to enliven us ai little.-
The paragraph which lately appeared in. a
Morning Paper, stating that an attempt had been
made to assassinate the exemplary Bishop of this
Diocese, in the Cathedral at Wells, tins, I under.
stand, some foundation in truth. The man,
having gained admittance, advanced towards his
Lordship with a knife in his hand, he Was, how-
ever, soon secured, and it was ascertained that he
WAS an insane person residing in that neighbour-
hood. The Bishop, who was engaged ia, soma,
ministerial duty at the time, did 'tot display the
least fear or trepidation. Ills Lordship, since
his promotion to the Bishopric of Bath and
Wells, has, both by his generil upright conduct,
and his firm yet -ITheral opposition to the en-
croachments of the 13a ptists, gained almost
versal respect.-

[TIRE TIM'S.]
Connected at the transactiona of commerce
must be 'With the general state of the money-
market, it is often an interesting subject °fatten-
-Bon to trace their influence upon each other.
`here
seems, at present, but little doubt that
the fall of interest, and the consequent redoes.
Clancy of idle money, stimulated some time ago
the,pppetite for every form of speculation, which,
baying stint up to an extravagant height, fell down
again upon the power which first had raised it,
with force under which that power has to a cer-
We degree sunk. A paper entitled, " Colonial
Imports of Liverpool," has already attracted no-
tice, by the curious information which it furnishes
relative to the cotton and West India trade of that'
emporium of our foreign commerce. It is, we
believe, a good deal questioned, how far an in-
creased demand for manufactured cottons can be
said to have justified the immense excess of the im-
portation,which rose in the port of Liverpool during
the lust year, front five years' average of 468,200
bags, to the astonishing amount of 703,352, and
In the remaining ports of England from an ave-
rage of 88,500 to 111,210 ; making for the whole
kingdom an increase in one year of 257,862 bags,
or nearly 65,000,0001 b. That there hats yet been
found no adequate outlet for this enormous sur-
plus of importation, is not more certaie than the
necessity that the want of a sale for the manufac-
ture must be felt at this instant, directly or in-
directly, by' the mass of our commercial capital.
A cotemporary calculates the extra drain upon
our merchants at about*millions sterling, from
Me cotton speculation only ; and this has been
without a return even to the amount of the
capital employed, from a universal fall in
•the market-price of the article. In the staple
articles of West India produce, the trade
appears to have shifted considerably between
Liverpool and the other ports of the kingdom,
but on the whole to have declined. The import
of rum, in contemplation no doubt of the reduced
, taxes on home spirits, has suffered more than
one-third of the former average. But to return
to this sudden overgrowth of the cotton trade.
I t may be observed that a sensible rise in the price
of any article of extensive demand, such as that
which for some months nuns experienced in the
?Gotten market, is generally followed or accom-
panied by a start in the value of many other corn-
-modities. Most objects of ordinary demand in
this country drew larger prices from the same
cause which contributed to, though it may not
bave caused exclusively, the fervour of the cotton-
Npeculation. Men speculated in silk, and raised the
price of it—in land—ln buildings—in various in-
ventions---in schemes of mere fancy, as well as sub•
stances for use : there was a rise in every thing
real and unreal. Millions were paid for what in
some cases was incapable of yielding a return,
and- for what in other cases could not long be
supported at the price for which itovas bought.
The day of reckoning for all must come : money,
which had sunk below its natural level, must in-
fallibly rise to it, and on the average remain
there : a fall of prices, general us was the aug-
mentation, must inevitably follow ; and though
losses, deplorable for individuals, many of them
net deserving to suffer, must attend this, like
every other great change in the relation between
goods and money, there will arise from such a
!r3nFition, the principles of Hew and more pro.
ductive industry—of a sounder and more pro-
litable commerce.

[NEW TIMES.]
Private letters from Warsaw state, that so de►
terrnined was the. Grand Duke Constantine not
to ascend the throne of Russia, that after he
heard of the oath of allegiance to him having
been taken at St. Petersburg!), lie not only re-
peated his renunciation, but actually directed
relays of horses to he in readiness that he might
Lave withdrawn himself beyond the bounds of
the Empire. '!'he personal character of this
rrince is little known. From almost all the po-
Utica! reasonings which hove been published on
the lute occurrences, boils by the French and
English Papers, it would seem as if the writers
thought it impossible that there should be in
bureau nature any desire stronger than that of
actually exercising sovereign power ; whereas
without ascribing to Conf.lilntille any vent stow.
mity of virtue, We cast easily conceive that pru-
dence, or affection, or even indolence, may have
induced him to form the resolution which he
, declares himself to have, been formed irrevocably.
iv the Journal des Debuts we find another
itsboured attempt to prove that Ceustantine is not
sincere in his resignation of the throne, and that
, *Nicholas is an poiliitious intriguer, who has
forced himself Into the sovereignty. But in order
to maintain this argument, the Journal dos Debuts
Is forced to assume facts which are immediately
Contradicted ; it assumes that Nicholas did not
Trait for a second rununciation from Constan-
tine before lit proclaimed himself Emperor ;
tut this is a mistake. It assumes that Con•
atantitie hat not proclaimed Nicholas Em
prior at Warsaw ; but this is also a mistake.—
,Constontine sent two successive messages, both
'declaring the firm resolution not to reign, and
the latest accounts from Warsaw assert, that be
ceased the oath of allegiance to Nicholas, and to'
his son Ale )r aoder, as the Heir A ',parent, to 'be
,liken by all the soldiery then at the Polish cm-
,pital, The fact is, that the Journal des Debuts
vibes to sprend alarm in France, with the mere
view of weakening, if possible, M. de Villele's
ingluente. If the people of France could I*
lirotiglit to think that a war was at howl, M. de
Viliele's position at the opening of the Chatnhers
wonld be a critical one. Of this, however, the
Minister seems to have rut apprehension, for he
does not seek to defer the meeting of the
Chambers beyond the time originally fixed, the
Slat of this mouth. it is true that a declaration
of adherence to Constantine by any one of the
great armies iu Itatisia might atter the case Con.
sidarably ; and we,know too little of the con-
stitution of those ermies to pretend to form any
'Phll" on their probable conduct. Our atten-

Lion has principally been directed to Constan.

tine himself, and to tto other Members of the
imperial Family ; and so far as their agency is
concerned, we doubt not but that the succession
may be said to be irrevocably settled.

[narrtsn ettess.]
The French Papers which arrived yesterday
add but little to our information respecting the
succession to the Russian Throne. The Etoile
:states, that letters from Warsaw, dated the, 2d
inst., announce, that by order of the Grand Duke_
Constantine the oath of allegiance to the Emperor
Nicholas, and his son, the,Grand Duke Alex-
ander, had 'been taken by all the regiments in
that city, and that the same order bad been sent
to ail the corps throughout the kingdom of Po-
land. If this he correct, there can be no longer
any doubt that the abdication of Constan-
tine was an not purely voluntary, how-
ever extraordinary it may have seemed in a
Prince of his age, habits; and character. The
accounts from the Polish frontiers,- in the Augs-
burg Gazette, are to the same effect. They contain
also some details not previously known, as to the
behaviour of Constantine On receiving the.news
of the late. Emperor's death. lle was not taken
by surprise, as he had couriers daily from Tag-
anrog during his brother's last illness, lie re-
jected with displeasure the ftrst.caculation of the
Imperial title, and retired with his escort to his
private apartments, where he remained almost
inaccessible to every body. These statements
only render 5611 more mysterious the nature of
the influence which has been so proverbially and
successfully exerted 'over the mind of this Prince.
The price of corn, it appears, is rising in the
Mediterranean ports, in consequence of the famine
in the empire of Morocco. The Monlleur
nit-
nounces that the Session of the Chambers will
certainly commence on the 31st inst. The sub-
scription for General Foy's family amounted to
756,865 f., upwards of 30,0001. sterling.

LMORNI?VG POST.]
We received last night by express, French
Papers to the 15th inst. and the Mode of Sunday.
The latter contains a letter from St. Petersburgh
of the 29th ult., which labours hard to diminish
the importance of the late conflict in that capital,
and to prove that " it has only tended to show
in stronger colours the character of the Russian
nation, the ardent fidelity of the army, and
their general attachment the august person
of their legitimate Monarch." Now, besides
the total inapplicability of the proof in the
sense in which it is meant, there is some-
thing indecorous in the language used. For
what would be the natural inference to he drawn
from the affectation with which Nicholas is ex-
clusively termed the " legitimate" Monarch, but
that Constantine was an usurper ! Whereas, if
history should ever unravel the mysteries of, the
transaction, that character may be found to apply
more justly to another. The wishes expressed in
favour of the Grand Duke Constantine, were only
a mask, we are told, 44 to cover the real designs
of the promoters of the revolt, whose object it
was to excite a movement which might have
plugged the Russian Empire into all the horrors
of anarchy." This seems to he a most gratuitous
and unfounded assumption. As long as constantine
was recognized Emperor, all was concord and sub.
ordination. No attempt was then made or thought
of to disturb the public peaceond had the legitimate
succession to the throne not been interrupted to
make room for Nicholas, had the legitimacy of
the interruption been clearly proved and este-
,blished before the soldiers had been called upon
to violate their oath, there would have been no
revolt, if it.must be called by that name. The
real and only cause of the refusal of so large
a 'portion of the military and of the people to
recognize Nicholas, supposing Constantine's
abdication to be real, is the extraordinary haste
and indecent indifference to conscientious
scruples, with which both the people and
the military were ordered to transfer their allegi-
ance from, one Sovereign to the other, on the mere
unsupported assertion of one of the interested,
parties, that his brother had finally resigned,
not only his claims, but his actual possession of
the Crown. Had more respect been paid to pub-
lic feeling, and a ustPr sense of the sanctity of
oaths been evinced, Nicholas might have ascend.
ed the throne a week later, but he would not
have found it slippery with blood. ,

[TUC PUIII.IO I:root:el
We have received the Paris l'aper4 of Saturday7
with the Etude of Sunday. 'l'% latter contains
ad vices from St. Petersburgh, dated the toth
ult. according to which tranquillity was perfectly
re-established at that period, and the troops who
refused to take the oaths to the Emperor Nicolas,
had returned to their duty, and expressed the
deepest contrition for the offence into which they
had been seduced. Count Kodisof has been up.
pointed Governor of that city, in the place of
Gen. Miloradowitch, who was killed in hurangu.
ing the mutineers. The rest of the letter is a
tissue of compliments to the new Emperor anti
the Grand Duke Michael, for the cool determi-
nation which they exhibited on that trying oc-
casion ; and nothing, according this statement,
could have exceeded the humanity of the former,
but the perverse obstinacy, with which the rebels
continued for several hours to disregard his en.
treaties to them to lay de 4 n their arms. During
this time the latter remained in unmolested
session of one of the principal places of the capi:
tat ;pall two companies, of which they consisted,
according tg the first accounts, are in this
Swelled to several. It is also broadly hinted,
that they were the dillies of designing men, and
we add, that their influence must have been fully
equal to their intriguing spirit, to be Mile to de-
bauch froth their duty so large a portion of chosen
troops, under the eye of a despotic Government,
whose vigilance is equal to its Jealousy. ft oP•
pears too, from this account, that the mutineers
were joined ity a portion of the populace ; and
yet a few discharges of artillery, assisted by a
few sabre cuts, were sufficient to disperse this
motley crew of disaffected troops and " drunken"
citizens. To celebrate the restoration of tran-
quillity, n Te Deurn was sung, at which Nicolas

attended; an'B on the day immediately following
the mutiny he reviewed the troops, who had
given, in those very critical circumstances, un-
shaken proofs of fidelity to their 46 legitimate
Sovereign."

[MORNING CHRONICI3.]
We some days ago inserted a copy of a Gene-
ral Order for an augmentation of the Horse Ar•
tillery in Bengal—we have since learnt that a
considerable augmentation of the Army, no less
than twelve regiments of Infantry and two of
Cavalry, has been made to that establishment, in
addition to four regiments of two battalions of
1,000 each battalion, formed about two years
age, and two Hindostany regiments of horse of
800 each ; this, with sixteen local battalions of
600 men each at Bengal, with 200 men to every
regiment of the Company's Infanty in India, makes
the increase of the army in India (without reckon-
ing the King's regiments sent from this country last
year, or those sent from the Cape of Good Hope,
the Mauritius, or Ceylon), at no less than seventy
thousand men ! Our readers will observe that
this increase in the native army is not to replace
losses by the war, for these are filled up by re-
cruiting for the regiments on service, which is
readily effected in a country like India. The
late augmentation, if any has been made, at the
Presidencies of Madras or Bombay, we are not
informed of. But it will, no doubt, surprise
our European readers to learn, that it has
been found out by Lord Amherst and
General Paget, that confidence may be
placed in the good disposition and loyalty
of men, whose comrades were so cruelly
butchered by wholesale at Barrackpoor for
alleged disloyalty, of which we cannot have a
stronger proof than that so considerable an addi-
tion of this very description of force should be
added to our army. It will also appear strange
to our English readers, who are used to see Of-
ficers promoted and appointed to new regiments
months before a single private man k recruited !
but this is not the way in which the officers of the
India army are treated, for there we find six of
of the new regiments, sixteen local battalions,
and two regiments of the Hindustahy Horse,
with but three officers posted to each ! ! and
these officers borrowed from the other regular re-
giments on the establishment !! ! thus withholding
from the officers of the army of India their legi-
timate right to promotion, and endanger-
ing the safety of our Eastern Empire, by
placing arms in the hands of so ninny natives of the
country without that coutronl of European autho-
rity, which, with a prudential government, ought
to be a primary consideration. It has, however,
since Lord Hastings's departure, been the prat.
lice to keep the officers in the Company's army
hi the back ground,, and the consequence is, that
to avoid degradation, at this moment we meet
some of the best officers in the Company's army
walking about London, Bath, Cheltenham, and
other watering places, and the Commanders-in-
Chief at the different Presidencies (all officers
of his Majesty's service), readily giving
leave of absence to every field-officer of the
Company's army who applies, thereby throwing
the details of troops employed in the different
divisions of the army now on service in Burnie,
entirely into the hands of the field-officers of the
King's army, who, from the extra number of
field-officers in each regiment, and the number
of brevets, out-number those in the Company's
army, even were its full establishment glutted to
corps such a service. But with ten thryisend
o►f the Company's troops, sent to Rangoon to join
Sir Archibald Campbell, no officer above the
rank of Lieutenant-Colonel was attached,and the
force went under the command of it Colonel of
the King's service, whose regiment was not em-
ployed, only' one field-officer to a regiment was
sent, and generally of the rank of Mujor.
