BRIGHTON, JAN. 31.
This has been a (lay of rejoicing with us ; the 29th. falling
on a Sunday, the happy accession of his MaJ EST Y, to the most
powerful throne in Europe, that is, the celebration of the
event, was left to this day. The morning, in consequence,
was ushered in by the ringing or bells from the tower or
the parish church, on which the British flag was hoisted;
and a royal salute was discharged from the battery at
mid-day. The town, throughout the day, had a holiday
appearnee—flags were flying ni various parts of it, and col.

COVENT.GARDEN.—After the Opera of tbel
Duenna, there was a new melo-dramatic trifle
produced at this house last night, under the title
of Norah, or The Girl of Erin.—The story is
not of a very novel character. The Marchioness
Derville (Miss LACY), is a widow, who, in her
youth, contracted a secret marriage, which proved
to be illegal, and she abandons her' infant
to conceal her shame. The time of the drama •
is 17 years after this event, and the Marchio.
ness, then a prey to secret grief, is residing in
Ireland with her brother, Lord Casileton• (Mr. •
EGERTON), George Redmond, (Mrs Coonen),
the nephew of the latter, has fallen in love with
the supposed daughter of an Irish schoolmssters
named Dennis O'Flynn (Mr. Common). This is
Norah (Miss GowAnD), the heroine of the piece,
She is brought to the house of Lord Coutletors'in,
consequence of her fame as a vocalist, where she is
exposed to the jeers of Kathleen (Mrs. Gtovett),a
sort of gouvernante in the family. We are let into
the secret of Dennis o'l'4/nit profession in a man.
nor not less classical than witty, Somebody sneers
at his ability for teaching the vocal art, when
Dennis replies, that it is a part of his business " like
ould Olphaut to strike the trembling lyre (liar).”
Brilliant as this is, some of the audience had the
had taste to hiss it. Lord Castleton, though de.
lighted with Norah and her singing, discovers the
attachment between her and Redmond, and orders.
him to quit his roof. The lover now offers.to,
share the poverty of his disinterested Norah,. ,
who had previously repelled his suit on ate.
count of the difference in their respective sta.,
lions ; but she only imparts to therm the know. ,
ledge of a still stronger obstacle, in the feet „
her being a foundling. She shows him a chain and,
cross) which were found with her; and Redmond:
sees with extacy that it bears the initials of the
Marchioness, of whose secret he has somehow or
other become possessed. Of course Norah turns,
out to be her daughter, the young people are
united, and all are happy. Miss GOWARD has to
support the chief interest and effect of the piece,
and she did it in a manner highly creditable to so
young an actress. We will not do her the injury to
say that it might not have been improved in one or
two instances ; but for the most part it was natural,
and frequently pathetic. She sang two songs beau.
tifully, and her clever exertions were liberally en,
couraged and applauded by the audience. Miss
LACY looked a very young mother of such a child,
and had little else to do. CONNOR'S bi,ShiSMS were,
too broad even to go down with the galleries,
and the rest of the characters had nothing to do
but assist in telling the story. Mrs. Grdoven,
indeed, had not that. The piece was generally
well received.

Extracts from the Morning Papers, Feb. 2,182 g.

•
trite-Tildes.]
A correspondence, ,rather curious thin sub-
stantially.important„ has reached this country
from the United States.. The parties are. the
British,Charge d'Affaires, Mr, Addington, .and
Mr. Clay,, the Secretary of State for. the North
Amerigattitepublie. It may be recollected that
a treaty-;has been under negotiation between the
two governments, for establishing: a, reciprocal
right Of search by men of
,war, under the tlag of
each, Against vessels, whether British or Ante.
6canvstlSPeCted of carrying on the. slave trade.—
By one provision of this treaty it was declared
that the: exercise of the important right in gees•
don should. extend on,one side, :to the coasts of:
Africa .and of the West Indies,: and on the other
to that of the United States themselves. The late
President, Mr. M
theonroe, signed the treaty con-
taining, above clause.. It was ratified. by his
Majesty olt the mart of Great Britain ; but as, in
pursuance of a right of confirmation or rejection
reserved to the Senate of the United States, this
treaty was submitted to their judgment,
after,: its ratification •by , Mit-
jesty,, it was . returned by that body it°, the
President, with .those words erased which sub-
jectedAhe coasts of America to the right orstearcit,
while:the same right was maintained in its appli•
cation4o then West Indies and ,to Africa. Now
this Was not reciprocity, and. therefore Mr. Can.
fling was authorised in his conclusion that it was
not justice. The ,treaty was sent back for recon-
sideration by the Senate of the United States;
and the correspondence to which .we'areadvert.
ing discloses to us, that the issue of the,second
reference wits asunfortunate es
.that of the first,;
circumstances having arisen to convince the.Pre-
!ident, Mr. Adams, (and his coevictien is ex•
pressed in terms of deep , regret), that 1e
,from
44 the. 'views which are entertained :by the Sc.
" nate of the United States, it would seem
" to be unnecessary and inexpedient any longer.
" to continue the negociation
,respecting the
" slave convention, with any hope that it he made
" to,assurne is formlatisfactory to both portieO,"
The, circumstance demonstrative, of the fallacy of
such:a , hope appears to have been, that on
mile" negotiation being carried to the same point,
viz. the signature of a-treaty with Columbia, the
Senate had rejected the treaty, although• the
mords'.deetned obje,ctioilabje in the convention
-with Great Britain had', with the consent of the
,Colombian Government, been erased from it.
The words were—after enumerating the other
coasts of which the navigation Shouttl.tte Made
liable to the rif search,---t 4 and America."
If, therefore, even without the obnoxious provi.
Finn, the treaty between COlombia and the Uttited
Stafes'had been rejected by the Senate of the
lattr Pottier, the President might fairly enoii h
conelnde, that, a jottiori, the British treaty

Sinking Fund was appropriate by Parliament
to the current service of the year. It was
also at the same period charged against
Ministers, dint they had done nothing to.
wards reducing taxation or the burden of the
public debt; which accusation was replied to, by
shewing that in three years from the termination
of the war the people had been released from a
portion of this burden amounting to at least
15,000,0001. of taxation ; and that there had
been paid off from 25 to 30 millions of unfunded
debt, from which it appeared that more had been
done in these three years than in any other period
of peace since the Revolution.

[MORNING POST.)
The last Session, of the present Parliament will
be opened this day by Commission. We yester-
day adverted to a few of the leading topics which
will' probably engage the early attention of the
Legislature, and upon the discussion of which
the ,existing embarrassments of the commercial
world may be supposed to have some influence.
—There is a variety of other subjects, how-
ever, not so immediately connected with ex-
isting circumstances indeed, but not, therefore,
of inferior importance, to which 'in the course
of the Session the wisdom of Parliament will be
directed. Of some of the chief of these we
will now take a hasty review. Th# nature
of our relations with the new States of South
Anrica—all that has been recently done by
Government, and all that yet remains to do, in
order to strengthen and consolidate those rela-
tions; and to render them productive of the ut-
mast possible degree of reciprocal advantage,

will constitute one of the most interesting topics
of discussion. Upon this theme it is gratifying
to reflect, that the elements of discord do not

exist. `!'he policy of Government is in stria
unison with the unanimous feelings and the uni

venal interests of the country. vlt may he ex-
pected that the Session will not pass without some
discussion.aalculated to shed ut least a ray of

light upon the confused and obscure, the appa-
renly incongruous and unnatural relations which
subsist between the Ottoman Court and the
Christian Powers of Europe. The influence of
these relations upon the fate of Greece impart an
intense interest to them at the present moment,
in every bosom that swells with the generous int-
pulses of freedom or humanity, whilst even the
mere speculative politician must view them with
feelings of eager curiosity, intimately connected
as they are with the views and policy of Russia)

under the dominion of her new Czar. Another
subject of great importance, on which information
will prohably be afforded, is that of the long-
wished-for Commercial Treatrbetween Great
13ritain and France. The tone and temper of both
Governments upon this important subject of nego-
ciation, the point to which discussion was actually
carried, and the diflicultities which prevent or
retard its further progress, or its final success—
furnish so many grounds for anxious inquiry ; nor
will information upon any of these topics be with-
held, unless reserve should appear likely to con-
-4,..v0n0nl success, or to lie demanded by
the Cautious limos, or toe ta
which controul the promulgation of diplomatic
intercourse.ln the, mean time,, every thing wears
the most peaceable and happy aspect. A Con-
volition of Navigation has a I eltly been concluded
between the two Powers. The condition of the
Slave Population of. our West. India Colo-
nies, will it appears be again pressed upon
the attention of the Legisla lure. his, we
think, affords a proof of zeal and activity,
rather ,than of discretion, in the party
whi4h aisumes the- function of leading and ma-
naging the cause of Negro Emancipation. Gra-
dual improvement in the moral and intellectual
condition of the slaves, with a view to prepare
the way, for their eventual emancipation, is an
object to which the Legislature has already
afforded its high kanction--an object to the honest
and steady pursuit of which Government is 'not
only sblemuly pledged, but towards which it has
in truth Already taken many important steps—an
object which the Planters themselves have en-
gaged to promote, opon the implied,understand-
standing at lea,,t, if not the express contract ol
intermediate forheatance on the part of their
opponents. ' Such is the actual 'position of the
queslion—a position .of all others 'in which its
reuewed and incessant agitation, whether at pub-
lic meetings or in. Parliament, would manifestly
be roust detrimental to the cause of Emancipation
11$01---a work which is sure to he accomplished
iu due,timo by the iuterference of Government,
()tie:. other took, and we have done—we mean
that of the Catholic Claims. It is at this moment
a matter of aoxions doubt,with the advocates of
these, Claims, whether it will be discreet on
Oleic part to urge them at present upon the
attention of Parliament. The Session upon
which we arft now on the eve, will be quick-
ly followed by a General Election; and some
apprehension is entertained of the conse-
quences, to the friefids of the measure in
Parliament, if they should have to meet their
constituents whilst a vote in its favour is fresh in
their recollection. Thee doubts and misgivings
are only-worthy, of notice, as they furnish a fine
illustration of the popularity to which,'according
to the eittlmate of its warmest friends, the cause
of Catholic Emancipation has attained.

[Tu r, REPRESENTATI VE.]

it is not, we find, true, as had been stated,
that Sir Charles Stuart is gene-t 0 the. southward
to atrange the &wiles between Buertos6Ayres
and the Brazilian Goiernmeut, respeeting the
Banda °denial. The fact •is, he embarked to-
teardethe end, of 'November on hoard the Dia-
"mud fligke,'Voinmatided by Lord Napier, on a
visit to'the norther* provinces of -Brazil, The
Tartar frigate, however, boa brought us letters
from Rio du Janeiro; dated Nov. 28, and if these
accounts are to be credited, our former intelli-
gante as. to the destination of Sir C. Stuart) and
the object of his voyage, watt still not. entirely
itteorreet., By thew• letters we learn, that on the
23d of November Sir Charles sailed for Bahia on
his way to'lEtt4land"; and that this. operation of.
his plans has been occasioned by a very
unrx-
pected change in the Brazilian administration.

Felisberto Caldiero Brant, now Viscount de Ear-'
bacena, has been appointed Minister of Finance,
and the Baron de Santo Amaro holds the post of
Minister for Foreign Affairs. The Minister of
Marine retains his office. We have yet to learn
the reasons of this change of Ministers, or
whether any new measures, either respecting the
conduct of the war on the River Plate, or upon
constitutional grounds, will be adopted in conse-
quence. But it would appear, that a mere change
of men, unaccompanied by a change of measures,
would not have induced the British Minister to
abandon his original intentions, with reference to
the question now agitated between the Govern-
ments of Brazil and Buenos Ayres, respeCting
the Banda Oriental. We are, indeed, fortified
in this opinion by the contents of other private
letters, brought by the Tartar, and which assert
that the former Government had determined to
prosecute the war with vigour, and was about to
embark 1200 men for the Rio-grande, in the
neighbourhood of Monte Video.

[THE PUBLIC LEDGER:I
We have receive the Paris Papers of Monday,
and the Eloile of Tuesday ; but they furnish
nothing from which any notion may be formed of
the character of the King's Speech. The rentes,

it is true, have sustained a trifling decline ; bu
this we do not ascribe to a knowledge of its
contents, but to the uncertainty that prevailed
on a subject of so much importance. In the
mean time, we hazard little in saying, that it
will take a very favourable, view of the affairs
of France, for, besides the good old custom
of concealing as much as possible the black
spots of the picture upon this occasion, the
King may, without sinning against truth, boast
of the prosperity which his kingdom niijoys
at the present moment. At home and abroad
there is ample matter upon which he may emigre-
tulate his people; and if his relations with
Spain be an exception to the geeeral character
of his foreign policy, and the failure of the pro-
ject for the conversiolfof the rentes, impose
upon his Ministers the imperious necessity of
creating new imeans for the purpose of indemnify!.
ing the emigrants; yet things have iMproVed so
visibly upon the whole, since he last met the
Chambers; that he may reasonably address theM
in gratulatory language. The
.accounts froth
the Russian capital are not later than
those which had previOusly leached us, nor do
they add. to the mass of our 'information. They
continue, however, to present only the bright
side of the picture; and the troops, it is said,
have every where readily submitted to the new
order of things. ; Whilst the accession of Nicolas
to the throne lids thus diffused universal joy
amongst his subjects, he is not backward in
trying to establish- aloe& opinion in his favour
*abroad. Ills Ministers, it. appears, have in.
structions :to give to the Courts where they re-
side, the strongest assurance' ' of ..his: determi.
nation to adhere strictly to the policy of ; his
immediate predecessor. Constantine, kowever,
had•not then reached the Russian capitalohough
it was announced some time since in the German
Paners. that he had lift Warsaw for that desti-
'nation. tits situation, as well us fits feelings,
are still involved in mystttry ; but it is our itn.
proSion yet, that he is destieed to' play a much
more important part than is given him in the
Official Papers that have been pubikhed.

[NEV' T I M ES.]
The various speculators in and about theStock'
Exchange have expressed considerable anxiety as
to the intentions of Ministers upon. the opening of
Parliament. Various rumours itave been in cir-
culation respecting the contents of the Kieg's
Speech. Indeed nue has been read to several in-
dividuals, purporting 'to be an exact copy, of what
is to be, delivered from tin Tbione to-day, in
which the funding of Exchequer Mato a certain
amount was stated to be decided upon. This re-
port has .been strongly supported by the specu-
lators for a fall. The rumours from France have
aassert, decidedly favourable' to a
declineibeen,
it tin they
Public Securities. The effects of
these reports, however, have been lost. There
have been various reports as
,to of
the Meeting of the Proprietors of Rank Stock to-
morrow, on special affitirl. Some
,indiViduals rif
firm that this Meeting is converted for thoi.p.tirpose
of proposing that Branch Banks be established
throughout the country. This measure, it is an
ticipatked, will meet with the decided opposition
of the Proprietors, although the Directors are
said not to be averse to the measure. We give
this merely as the rumour of the day. We have
considerable gratification in stating that yester-
day passed over without a'recurrence of those
distressing rumours of fresh failures which have
of late cast a gloom upon the iniods of most of
our merchants. , The accounts from Liverpool are
certainly not of the mast favourable aspect. Af.
fairs there are represented as being in a gloomy
state'; but we hope, after a few days have passed,
our letters will bring us news of a more consoli.
tory nature.
