Nov. 11.—The Gazette contains an official order of the
Princes* Regent, for expediting the proceedings against the dis-
turbers of public tranquillity—the favourers of rebellion—who have
published alarming accounts, done any acts, or uttered seditious lan-
guage, tending to divert the minds of the people from the obedience
which they owe to their lawful Sovereign. These criminals being
taken and examined are to be allosved five days and no more, for
their defence; after which the proceedings shall be declared to be
closed, and sentence passed according to the evidence, and in the
manner prescribed by the lam, that the punishment of the guilty
may not be deferred, nor the inconvenience sustained by the inno-
cent. prolonged. If those condemned desire to plead an arrest of
jud ant, 24 hours and no more are to be allowed them.
15.—The Duke de Cadoval having represented to her
Hildineas, the Infanta Regent, that it is impossible for him to ac-

,
pleased to exonerate him from that office, preserving to him,
however,: the honours of Counsellor of State, as to the other
Counsellora of State, by the decree of 30th October last.
Verliighness has been pleased to confer the dignity of Coun-
sellor of State, for life, on the Marquis de Olhao.
To-day (the 15th) being the name day of her Majesty, the
'Queen D. Maria Leopoldina, it has been observed with the usual
veremonies.

The Gazettes of the 16th, 17th, and 18th, contain accounts of
various congratulatory addresses presented to the Empress Regent.
The sittings of the two Chambers have been very much occupied
in matters of form and internal regulation.

CHAMBER ON' PEERS.
In the sitting of the Ilth; the Conde da Cunha, referring to the
article of the Constitution which orders that a civil and a criminal
code shall be drawn up, founded on the solid basis of justice and
equity, proposed that the sages of the nation should be invited to
compose and present to the Chambers the civil and criminal code,
founded on the solid basis of the Constitution and the jurispru-
dence of the most enlightened nations of Europe ; and the author
'or 'auditors of those which should be approved, should receive, for
the civil code, an annual pension of 1,200 milrees; and, for the
criminal code, SOO milrem. This' proposal was adopted by the
Clariber.
Sittings of the 13th and 14th, there was a long discus.
eloa on the proposal of the Condo da Laps to send an address to
nisilbtjesty Don Pedro, thanking him for giving the charter to
Purl, ugal. It was unanimously' seceded to, and a commission of
lig Umbers appointed to present to the Princess Regent the ad-
from the Chamber of Peers to his Majesty Don Pedro IV.

Frankfort Papers of the 22d inst. have been re-
ceived this morning, but possess no feature of interest.
Th.e Dukes of SAXE..COBURG, IVIEININGEN and
HILDBURG, have published the convention for the
partition of the territory of Saxe Gotha and Alten-
burg ; at the same time absolving their subjects in the
tlialticts respectively ceded from their oath of allegiance.

.
he Proceedings in Parliament were not interesting
hit night, though they related to a variety of subjects.
WAITIIMAN presented a petition from Mr.
sPLATTEity who sold the Arigna Iron Mines to the
Company,
. . whose proceedings have attracted so much
IHnieet but as the petition was objectionable on many
accounts, particularly as affixing an undefined impute-
upon the Members of theliouse, it could not be
teeeiee4 and was withdrawn by the worthy Alderman.
.NT. LITTLETON proposed the renewal of his Re-
selutionieof the 19th of Akril last relative to proceed-
ing/in CoMmittees on private Bills :—not as stand-
ing orders,
but as temporary regulations, with a view
er ascertaining their expediency. We must refer to
°lir Parliamentary Report for the nature of these Re-
solutions, which were all carried with the exception of
one which went to require the party petitioning to de-
posit with the Clerk of the Fees 5001. for the payment
of such costs as might eventually be awarded against
Lim. This Resolution was postponed, for the pur-
pose of being referred to a Committee.
H z 'tuts- brought forward a resolution for
e confirmation of regulations made by his Majesty's
Ministers. during the recess, respecting the Postage
1 W
Between the West Indies and South America. Mr.
,l
1E mentioned the subject of allowing Newspapers
t°
be sent to the Colonies at the reduced rate of
ruatitgei even' if not forwarded on the day of their date ;
t this. subject was also postponed to a future oc-
casion,

The application inade by Persia for the' mediation
of this country in her dispute with Russia, is one of
the most pouting occurrences which has taken place
for •
Qine tune.
The geographical situation of Persia, with reference.
t° our Eastern possessions, has long rendered it an
important object of the diplomacy of other. Powers, to
g'in a predominating influence ,over her councils,;
while it has been the unceasing endeavour of this
country to counteract those efforts, and to maintain.
our ascendancy in the Court of the Sckut w. BuoyA7
l'4ltTE was fully aware of the importance of this ob-
ject, and expended large sums of money for its attain-
ment, in which, for a time, he partially succeeded,
`lid of which he would have availed himself, to our
al'llnyance, had not the affairs of Europe so fully oc-
,etTied the latter years of his reign. It has equally
ue'sl the endeavour of Russia to gain this ascendancy,
"1 her Ministers have totally failed, and the influence
:this country has reigned triumphantly, to the exclu-
-Ma of that of other countries, if not to the advancement
°f the comniercial objects which we might also have had
in .
tem. Parini these latter objects had been partly at.-
`athedi to an an arrangement entered upon for their
e4mplete acci,o;
-t"'emnent, when the disputes which
Iglissbicaeannt Persia liscltt'4 a
-for some tune between
and finally b
led to hostilities a more serious character,
Notwithstanding the historyeotvreen the two countries.
r
those disputes, and of
the commencement of the war. published by Russia,
the real origin of them is to he traced to the disan.
Pointinent of Russia in her.secretdiplomatic v • -
tews at
the Court of Teheran, and to the 41eterrnined policy
which she has acted upon in eitending her Empire
eastward by all means. Superadded to this, perhaps,
may be assigned, as another exciting cause for the war
en the part of Russia, the, necessity of her employ-
;•g part of her army at a distance frorrrthe heart Of the
empire; and as the submission of the nine disap.
pointed her of the campaign which she expected
L H Turkey, another issue fur her restless spirits
Liecame the more necessary. Under these circum-
"ances it is that Persia has applied to this coun-
t/Y to use her good offices with Russia for the
44aogeruent of -their differences, and by friendly
14talls avert that fats-which must await her if the over-
"°4loing power of Russia should seriously be directed
gaihat her. That it is the interest of this country to
(I.lterlluse between these powers cannot be doubted—
tc'hr .possession, of Persia being once obtained
a * "corny of our Eastern Empire is weakened, and
btt9ther year may witness an army of Cossacks on the
ftl44ta of' the Indus. But Great Britain cannot inter-
at-0 a mediator, unless she is prepared, in the event
dins Mediation being declined, to enforce the con-
-14 1414 Which she proposes as the basis of the
radjust7
tt!--)thieb, shpyvoulci have, mediated. Is, therefore,
irruption into Persia, which' Russia meditates, so

unjust in its origin, and so important in its conse-
quences to this country, as to warrant our interference
in a friendly manner ? and, in that case, does our own
character, and the importance of maintaining the in-
tegrity of Persia, render it necessary or expedient for
us, in the event of Russia declining our friendly offices,
to assume that sort of tone which might imply that we
are ready to support our recommendations by means
more powerful than arguments only ? Will the object
justify this course ? and if it does not, what other
means must we take to counteract the consequences
which must ensue from the conquest of Persia ?
These are all most serious questions, and require
the most mature deliberation. What. course will be
taken we are not yet prepared to say, but we are satis-
fied, notwithstanding the sneers of certain persons of
the crippled state of the country, by the effect of its
debt, that his MAJESTY'S Government will act with
that firmness, tempered with discretion, which has
hitherto carried the country through many a difficult
crisis, and maintained its character as well as its in-
terests in every part of the world.

It was reported in the City this morning, that
the decline in Consols is attributable to a ru-
mour, that Mr. CANNING has sent a remonstrance
to the French Government respecting any interference
in the concerns of Portugal by Spain, at the instance
of France.

Quebec Papers have been received to the 27th
October, but they contain no news of any importance.
It is said in a paper of the 26th, that Government
have purchased the Grose Isle below the bason at
Cbambly, for the purpose of erecting fortifications and
barracks upon it. It was understood that the old fort
would be abandoned, and that the troops would in
future be garrisoned on that island.

Accounts have been received by the General Pal-
mer from Madras to the 30th July. She brings no
news. Every thing was peaceable in India at the time
of her departure. The Earl of Balcarras, CAME-
RON ; Lady Melville, CLIFFORD ; George the Fourth,
BARROW ; and Sir David Scott, APTAGGA RT, from
London, had arrived at Calcutta.

Accounts from Alexandria, state that orders had been sent
out by the British Government, addressed to the English
Consul in that city, not to allow any English Vessels to
clear out from thence, without the goods shipped on board are ac-
companied by a certificate that the property is bona fide belong-
ing to British merchants.

Letters from Port-au-Prince, dated the Sd of October, which
were received yesterday, state that a commercial treaty between
Great .Britain and Hayti has been prepared, the basis of which is
equalisation of duties to all nations. Mr. Fisher, one of the Vice-
Consuls, was expected shortly to sail from Port-au-Prince to
England, with a copy of the treaty. An order of the President
had been issued, dated the SOth of September, directing Treasury
notes to be issued, of one, two, and five dollars each, and to be re-
ceived in payment. The notes had actually been issued, but nei-
ther Haytiana nor foreigners seemed to like them. The amount
expected to be, issued was about half a million of dollars. The
reason given by the President for this was, that no Spanish money
came into the island from Europe, and what Haytiau coin was in
circulation was found insufficient since the annexation of the east
and north.

Despatches were scut off yesterday from the Foreign Office to
the British Charge d'Affitires at Buenos Ayres.

The Etoile denies in a very distinct manner the probability of
a war between Spain and Portugal, and as a proof that all danger
of such an event is past, adduces the Ainuesty of the Princess
Regent. and the Decree issued by,Ferdhood. she,ROff
tuguese Refugees.

The following is au extract of a letter from the Foreign-office,
dated October 4, 1826, addressed to the Consul-General at St.
Petersburgh :—" The Lords of the Committer of his Majesty's
Most Honourable Privy Council for Trade having intimated to
Mr. Secretary Canning, that itis now considered necessary to re-
quire Consular declarations of origin as to the produce or manu-
facture of those articles only which are enumerated in the annexed
letters on their conveyanee to this kingdom from ports and places
in Europe, I am directed, by Mr. Secretary Canning to acquaint
you, for your information, with this alteration in the existing
quarantine regulation,. ; and I am to desire that you will, in all
cases, , pay strict attention thereto :—Cotton, wool, silk, hemp,
flax, hair, leather, skins---of all kinds manufactured. Hides, furs,
carpetis, ostrich feathers, sponges, rags, cotton yarn, Mohair yarn,
and 'feathers generally.

THE FUNDS..

CITY, Twelve o' Clock.

Consols have been in rather an agitated state this morning,
they opened at 8414 for money, and 84i for account ; they
have since, in consequence of a heavy money sale, receded to 84 1
for money, and 841 1 for January. The Brokers and Jobbers
appear to be finally adjusting their accounts, this being pay day,
which is likely to go off much better than was in the first instance
expected. The Bears, for the fourth time, must have suffered
severely, and it is fortunate for them that the closing of Consols is
so near at band. In the Foreign Funds there has been little
business ; Mexican Bonds were looking up yesterday, when a sale
of a considerable amount seemed to damp the speculators for a
rise, they are now quoted at 68 ; and Colombian at 411 2.
Shares, particularly Brazil Mines, have attracted some attention,
but the latter have not had any further improvement, and may be
quoted at 16 17 pin. ; and United Mexican, 7 6 dis.

The Consol Market continues in a very uneasy state, they re-

84, and for a moment were sellers at that price. They are
no, 81 a 84i. It is reported that the cause of this decline is
owing to the receipt of important despatches from Lisbon, brought
by his Majesty's ship Forte. The sales effected have been to an
immense amount.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY—(Tins DAY.)
(Before Lord Srowst.i..)_

In the case of a ship called the Jubilee, Dr. PHILLISIOAS moved
the Court to order the execution of a decree of sale, which had
gone out in July last. The object of the decree was, that certain
goods in the hands of the Customs should be sold to meet a claim
of salvage.
Dr. Lusnrwaxow said, he was at the same aide as Dr. Philli-
more, and that the facts of the case were, that the Commissioners
of Customs had taken advantage of a late Act of Parliament, of
which every body was ignorant, to evade the decree of the Court.
Sir CfinSTOrlifiß ROBINSON said he was not regularly in the
case, but he took upon himself to say, there was no intention on
the part of the Commissioners of Customs to offer any obstruction
to the authority of the Court.
Lord STOWELL said, if he understood rightly, the Custom-
house had power under the late Act of Parliament, to consider
what allowance should be made in case; of salvage.
Dr. LUSHINGTON—My Lord, there were 446 Acts compressed
into this one, by which the Custom-house had the authority to ap-
portion the quantity of goods which might be sold duty free, but
there was no power as to costs.

The kinG'i Anroclas was of opinion that the course now pur-
sued was somewhat premature. If a motion was made for a mo-
nition against the Customs, it would put the matter in a regular
train.

Dr. Put tumouz said, that the opposition offered by the,Cm-
toms on this occasion was most ungracious.
The Comm ordered a monition to go out, which would give an
opportunity of showing under what circumstances the decree of
sale had been obstructed.
