orders), the Romney, 60, Captain N. Lockyer, C. 8., and Pyramus
frigate, C4ptain Sartorius, sailed with the 4th Regiment on board,
and have since, probably, arrived, in the Tagus. Ou Tuesday,
the Windsor Castle, 74,
Captain E. D. Kiiig, sailed from Ply-
mouth, with the 60th, RiPe Regiment. On Wednesday, the
Wellesley, 74, Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas M. Hardy, Bart. K. C. B.
Captain Falcon, sailed hence, with the 2d Battalion of the 841
Regiment of Guards, and was joined off St. flehintilay the
Gloucester; 74, Captain J. S. Horton, from Delitfortl;'with the
Ist Regiment Grenadier Guards on board. On .Thursday, the
Melville, 71, Captain Henry Hill, sailed from St. Helens, with
the 65d Reginient on board. The wield has since been favour-
able, and the weather fine, for their proceeding, and, no doubt, in
a few days, they will arrive at their destination.
The .Commander4n-Chief of the troops, Lieutenant-General-
' Sir W. Clinton, G.C.B. (LieutenantrGeneral of the Ordnance),
and Major-General Sir H. Bouverie, with their Staff, went in the

troops marched in good spirits, and excellent order, and were em-
trailed, with all the baggage, in the perfectness of regularity, by
Captain !Limber, R.N., Second in command of the ships ir. or-
dinary at the port. Lord Melville, after his inspection of the
Academicians of the Royal Naval College, on Tuesday, appeared
in the streets, taking special interest in facilitating the departure
of the ships. There will, in a few days, be eight sail of the line
in the Tagus ; but we understand that those ships which are not
permanently attached to the squadron, wilt return to England
shortly after the troops are landed.
On Monday the Spartiate, 7416 Captain Frederick Warren, went
nut of the harbour, fitted for the flag of the Commander-in-Chief
in the Tagns (Lord Aurelius Beauclerk), and to relieve the Ocean.
The Spartiate was paid wages to-day, and will probably sail on
Monday, for Lisbon. A detachment of the Royal Marine At.,
ttillery, Mr relief, paid a detachment of the Royal Marines, to com-
plete the Albion's number to "the War Establishnaint, have em-
barked on board her.

their reception. '
On Thursday the Forte frigate, Capt. J. Coghlan, C. 8., sailed
for the South American station, to relieve the Blanche, His Ex-
cellency Chevalier de Neumann,. Minister Pleolpotentiary from
Austria to the Court of Brazils, Prince Schwa' tz,nburgh, Charge
de Affaires, and Count Fries, Secretary of Legation, went pas-
sengers. His Excellency was received on board the Forte, with
manned yards and an honorary solute. Prince Pau! Esterhazy,
who accompanied these distinguished persons to the George, to
take leave on their embarkation, afterwards returned to CL:Alos
House.

The Menai, 26, Capt. Houston Stewart, sailed for Woolwich,
to be paid off.—On Thursday, the Bittern, Lieut. Itoehfort, ar-
tived from Plymouth, with volunteer seamen, and returned thi-

ther to-day, leaving the Spartiate only at Spithead. In the Har-
bour--Victory, Asia, Sybille, Challenger, Sapphire,. Columbine,

The Clinker, Lieut. Matson, is fitting in the harbour, for the
Coast of Africa station. Lieutenant Hutchinson commands the
Plinoper, which sailed with the Galatea, with sealed orders.
During the time bis Majesty's ship Niemen, Capt. Wail', lay
in Boston harbour, not one desertion took place, although the
boats belonging to the ship had the same imereourse with the
- - Th;.,
fact reflects equal credit on the officers and seamen of the ship.
Divotirosse, Dec. 21.-On Tuesday sailed the Windsor

WINTER ASSIZES.

KINGSTON, SATURDAY, Dm. 29.

James Cato, a respectable-looking young man, was found guilty
of stealing a mare at Thames Dittos, on the 26th of July last, the
property of Mr. Henry Farrenden.
W. Renscomb was indicted for assaulting Wm. Stillwell, by
reason of which the said Wan. Stillwell received several blows
which caused his death.

The Jury having consulted for some time returned a verdict of
Not Guilty against the prisoner.
Henry 1 Inwood and William Chamberlain were indicted on
the statute of 5 Geo. 111., cap. 14, for unlawfully entering Clare:.
mont Park, on the night of the 29th of November, and stealing
from an enclosed pond of water 42 fish called carp, the property
of his Royal Highness the Prince of Saxe Coburg.
Mr. Tuxsioxn, and Mr. Mallot.Es conducted the prosecution.
About 12 o'clock un the night of the 29th November, a watch-
man of Thamea Ditton stopped the prisoners and another person
in a cart, going in a direction towards Esher. lie asked them
where they were going ? They said they were bargemen, that
they had left their barge in London, that they were just come
from Kingston, and were going to theif home at Guildford. They
WI a line and net in the cart. He allowed them to depart.—
Between three and four in the morning, the earns watchman
stopped the same persons again at Thames Ditton, and recognising
them as the persons he had seen so lately before, . expressed his
surprise at their return from Guildford in so short a time. They
gave so lame an excuse, that he was induced to search the cart,
and in it were found forty-two carp, together with a large net and
a line. He took the two prisoners into custody, but the third
man escaped. Next day, upon searching the fish-pond in Clare
moat-park, it was found to have been recently dragged of its fish,
there being the foot-marks of three men at the edges, and a eon-
siderabis number of fish-scales. The foot-marks of the men
were traced to the park paling, on the other side of which were
the traces of a cart which had there stopped in a lane leading
from Esher, and had turned about again. Upon comparing the
shoes of the prisoners with some of the foot.marks, they were
found to correspond exactly.
The tish found in the prisoners'
possession was valued at 51. In order to prove that they were
taken without the cement of the owner, as alleged in the indict-
ment, Mr. Arnashasha, autSerintendatit of the Prince of Saxe
coharo palace of Claremont, preyed that he had not given the
prisoners any licence to take the fish ; and no other person had
authority to give such a licence but 14,,,,,14 in the Absence of his
Royal Highness, who was now at Rome, and had been so since
May last--Guilty; seven years' transportation.
The calendar having been gone through, the ,t„ixes finished

FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Moniteur of Friday, Dec. 22.)

OFFICIAL, FART.

PARIS, Dac. 21.—T0-day, December 21, at eight o'clock in
the evening, the grand deputation of the Chamber of Peers was
admitted with the usual forms, to present to the King the address
voted by the Chamber of Peers, in answer to his Majesty's speech.
The Chancellor of France read the address, which was in the follow-
ing terms :

" is always with fresh eagerness that the Peers of
your kingdom approach the foot 'of your Throne to present the
homage of their attachment and respectful fidelity. With the
zeal and attention that such important interests require, they will
devote themselves to the examination of the law projects which
your Majesty bas devised for the welfare of your people.
" The necessity of the two codes which your Majesty has caused
to he prepared, is generally acknowledged. In the present day
especially, when maritime commerce, has taken a wider range, the
finds, which form a considerable portion of the public wealth,
acquire still greater importance. The legislation to which they
are subjected, requires to be ameliorated. The basis of them have
already been laid down by your immortal ancestor in one of those
ordinances, the exalted wisdom of which has not contributed less
than his other titles to glory, to obtain for him the denomination
of Louis the Great.

" A military code will be considered as tnuch a benefit by the
citizens as the army. It is important for all, that the military
jurisdiction should be circumscribed within limits determinate and
precise._

" We, Sire, even we also, should desire that it had been possi-
ble not to have interfered with the Press, but your Majesty has
considered that it was time to put an end to afflicting scandals.
When the King expresses the intention of preserving the Liberty
of the Press from its own .-excesses, this solicitude is a proof of
the value that his magnanimous heart attaches to the mainten-
ance of the public liberties. Animated with the same sentiments,
the Peers of your kingdom will eagerly unite their efforts with
those of your Majesty.

"We ll eacainit;e, with an attention no less scrupulous, the
law project which is announced to us upon the organization of
the Juries. This institution, which is consecrated by the Char-
ter, should afford all the guarantees necessary for the dispensation
of justice, the first want of nations.

" Humanity had hailed with applause the abolition of a traffic
which is repugnant to our natural sentiments; but since cupidity
finds the means of evading the prohibitions of the law, it becomes
indispensible to adopt effectual measures to make them respected.
" The friendly disposition of the foreign Governments, so con-
formable to the personal sentiments of your Majesty, afforded tlse
well-grounded hope that a peace, obtained at the price of so many
sacrifices, will be of long duration ; and if troubles have broken
out in a part of the Peninsula which was lately the theatre Of the
glory of your august ion and his valiant army, France awaits with
confidence the result of the efforts of your Majesty, who, in con-
cert with your allies, will put an end to them, and prevent their
direful consequences.

" The progressive increase of the product of the indirect taxes,
that your Majesty condescends to announce to us, is a sure sign
of.the general comfort. The excess of revenue will enable an
allowance to be made to the different branches of the public ser-
vice, of funds which have hitherto been refused with regret. This
measure of administration not only supplies urgent necessities, but
likewise affords ample resources to the indigent classes, in the
works required by the state of the high roads, the maritime eon-
eiruetions, and the repairs of the strong places. And if, as your
Majesty holds out the hope, the Treasury can henceforward take
upon itself to pay the supplementary sums that the Parishes give
to the Ministers of Religion, this will be, under another name, a
real reduction to those who pay the taxes ; and yet we look, with
our best wishes, for the period*hen the progressive augmentation
of the Revenue will allow a reduction of those taxes which are ac-
knowledged to be the most burdensome.

" Sire, after so many years' trials and misfortune, ilia conso-
latory to fix our eyes upon the situation of France. At a view of
so happy a change, what Frenchman would not unite with his
King in blessing heaven, who has vouchsafed us so much pros-
perity? Yes; under your Majesty's auspices, we will labour to
add still more, by the arts of peace, to the greatness and power of
this nation, ambitions of every kind of success and glory. We
can pursue in full security the career that is opened before us, as-
sured that the longes; pence would not be able to deteriorate the
warlike virtues in which the national character glories; through
so many vicissitudes of misfortune, they have never betrayed it.
Who, then, can entertain doubt of them, or of honour ? At the
call of her august Chief, all France would rise in arms, with all
her pride and all her energy."
*Ha avisiK yrpesasa..... ♦ 441. VI 44, a %.4•••• • 4•. 1.4 ...a 1.••••. r
the expression of the sentiments of the Chamber of Peers. I feel
an equal satisfaction, " Gentlemen, at seeing you disposed to exa-
mine, with frank and seriousettention, the important laws which
will be laid before you ; your concurrence, on which I depend,
will be a new proof of your zeal for the happiness of France. I
have always been certain, that if the honour of my Crown should
ever require new sacrifices, my faithful subjects would hear my
voice, and would hasten to answer it, and I em pleased to see the
Chamber of Peers of the kingdom participate in my conviction.
This satisfaction is the more pure, as my Allies unite their efforts
with mine to prevent the events on the Peninsula from disturbing
the tranquillity of Europe ; and I have a well founded hope, that
my people will long continue to enjoy the blessings of peace."

(From rEtoile.)
MApaiD, We. 11.—The King continues to enjoy good health,
but that of the Queen is not so satisfactory. Her Majesty, though
perfectly recovered from the indisposition which she experienced
at the Escurial, is still very delicate And rather weak. His Royal
Highness the Infant Don Francisco de Paulo was slightly indis-
posed last Saturday. Their Serene Highnesses the Infante and In-
fan tan are well.

Lalit Thursday, the 7th instant, the King held in his magni-
ficent chapel in his palace, the Grand Chapter of the Royal and
Illustrious Order of Charles 111., in which his Highness the In-
fant Den Sebastian received the religious institution of that order.
Their Royal Highnesses the King's brothers; the Grandees of
Spain, Knights Grand Crosses, and a great number of knights; of
the first class, all wearing the rich mantle of the order of Charles
111., were present at this brilliant ceremony, which attracted a
greater number of persons than the Royal chapel could contain.
The Queen, the Infanta., and the Princess of Beira were in the
Royal galleries.

on the following day (the Bth), the fete of the immaculate con-
ception, the grand fete of the order of Charles 111., such of the
Knights of the Three Classes as are at Madrid, at the head of
whore were the King and the three Princes of his august family,
ibliowed by almost all the Grandees of the kingdom, all wearing
the costume and mantle of the order, repaired to the church of
St. Francis, in the Franciscan convent, when they heard high
mass, at which one of the Knights Grand Cruse officiated in pon-
t(ficalibus. This tine ceremony, which was rendered so edifying
by the devotion of all the knights of the order without exception,
was celebrated with all the pomp.suitable to the occasion, and to
the presence of the Sovereign and the Princes of the Royal Fa-
mily.

" LIES OF THE DAY.
(The ConstitutionneL)
" Palts, Dr.c. 22.—rM. Salmon has announced to M. de
Lima, Portuguese Charge d'Affaires at Madrid, that his functions
were at an end.

(The Aristarque.)
M. tie Casa Flores, the Spanish Ambassador at Lisbon, has
arrived at Badajoz.

(The Courier.)
" It ia affirmed that M. de Lima has been ordered to quit
Madrid.

(The Aristarque again.)
" A courier set out the day before yesterday from the Fo-
reign-office, to carry to London the speech of the Baron de
Dames,

" Baron Alexander do Hortifehlt passed through Frank•
fort on the 17th, on his way to Paris. The King of Prussia has
attached him to his person as councillor of state, referendary of
scientific objects. He would not accept a higher post, being de-
sirous of retaining his connexions with the learned world, and li-
berty to go every year to Paris."
(From the Constitutionnel of Friday.)
(PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.)
MADRID, DEC. 11.---A report has just been spread that the
two Swiss regiments in the service of France, which are here, and
which is almost the whole of the King's guard, will go away on
the 1 it of January.
" It is certain that the French Government, in the last de-
spatches which it has sent to our Court, speaks of withdrawing
those two regiments, But, however, it does not speak in po-
sitive terms, and it appears inclined to leave the Swiss here
some time longer, upent certain conditions. Since the return
of the King to Madrid, Mr. Lamb' has not once appeared at
Court, and still keeps his travelling carriage ready to set out at
a moment's notice. However, nobody believes that Mr. Lamb
will depart ; on the contrary, it is thought that be will obtain
all the satisfaction that he demande, and that our Cabinet wll
abandon the Apnetolies 'rather than risk a rupture with Eng-
land, the immediate consequence of which would be the
lost of the island of Cuba; the only thing that we hare re.

maining of our ancient and vast transmarine possessions. But
it is not the same with De Ponte Dc Lime, the Charge d'Affaires
of Portugal, to whom, as I told you in my last, M. Sal-
mon, has announced that his functions are at an end; this
Charge d'Affaires, who has long resided in this capital, and
who has here been married top Spanish Lady, is making
preparations to depart, and he will probably set out
on 'the 4th or 15th—that is to say, at the same time when we
expect here Le Marquis de Casa Flores. Letters from Valladolid
announce that General Longa was expected there on the 10th, on
his return from Zamora ; but they heard, that during his stay on
the frontiers and in the neighbourhood, he caused GO waggons
with ammunition and provisions to be sent to the Portuguese in-
surgents. It seems that this General, as well as General St.
Juan, who commands inEstrernadura, are to return to Madrid to
give an account of their conduct. These two Generals, and per-
haps General Quesada, commanding in Andalusia, will, if neces-
sary, be sacrificed to prove the innocence of our Cabinet; and, in
fact, if they should he brought to trial, they will not be able to
show any orders by virtue of which they have acted, though they
have done nothing but according to instructions emanating from
an authority which, though not the regular authority of the Mi-
nister of War, are no lees imperious in an absolute Government.

(From the Courrier Francois.)
" PA xis, Dxc. 21.—Don Pedro has very speedily learnt, at
Rio de Janeiro, the first opposition that his charter has experienced
at Lisbon. He was extremely incensed at it, and has taken the
strongest measures against those 'who showed themselves adverse
to his will. He has summoned them to appear before him in Bra-
zil, and enjoined them to repair thither without delay, under severe
penalties. What will happen when he is informed of the rebel-
lion of Chaves and his accomplices ? He is, more than ever, at-
tached to his charter; and we learn, from letters worthy of credit,
he is resolved not to suffer any kind of modifications to be matte
in it, whatever may be the intrigue and solicitations of certain Ca-
binets to that effect. He is resolved, and with reason, that an
appeal shall be made to time, and that experience alone shall de-
cide, after a lapse of some years, upon a work which it is absurd
to judge, and especially to condemn, before it has been put to a
fair trial.

" Recent letters from Vienna confirm what we said yesterday,
that the Infant Don Miguel, being counselled by the Emperor in
person, and Prince Metternich himself, has finally resolved to re-
main faithful to the Queen, his future consort, and that he has so-
lemnly disavowed the traitors who, pretending to place upon his
bead a usurped crown, were perhaps serving, besides their per-
sonal ambition, secret plans of the Cabinet of Madrid,' for the
union of Portugal with Spain, and for the formation of a Penin-
sular compact in the hands of the inquisition and triumphant mo-
narchism.

" The courier who brings this declaration of Don Miguel,
passed through Path three days ago, and proceeded to Madrid
and Lisbon. It ii incredible why our Ministry, to whom this
document, so decisive in the present state of things, was commu-
nicated, has not confirmed its authenticity : it is, doubtless, afraid
of afflicting too soon the admirers whom the revolt of Chaves has
found in our Chambers and elsewhere. But even these begin to
feel cold towards their hero, since his chances of success have
vanished before the vigorous resolutions of the British Parliament,
and unanimous language of' the Cabinets of France, Austria,
Russia, and Prussia. For we must do the justice to the' diplo-
matic body residing among us to say, that it has not hesitated in
this last crisis to declare against the perfidy of the Court of Ma-
drid, and of its Apostolics.

• (From the Pilote.)
" MADRID, Dec. 11.—It is affirmed that the English have
landed at Lisbon part of the troops that they had on board their
squadron in the Tagus, and that the English Admiral on this oc-
casion published a proclamation, in which he says that the object
of this immure is to preserve the tranquillity of the capital.
" The' measure of a quints (drawing by lot) of 35 or 40,000
men, has lately been discussed in a council of Ministers, but no
decision has yet been come to on the subject.
" General Qum& has placed all the troops at his disposal on
the frontier of Portugal, next the province of Seville, which he
commands. It is affirmed that Don Salvador Manzanares, who
ander the Cortes was political chief of Valencia, and afterwards
Minister, has just escaped from his confinement at Seville, and
to Portugal.

SECOND EXPRESS.
(From the Muniteur of Saturday, Dec. 23.)
(NON-OFFICIAL. TART.)
" MADRID, 13.--The Insurgents have been beaten in
Alentrjo, and pursued into Spain by the Constitutional troops,
but they almost immediately reentered Portugal. It is said they
are going to join those in the. North, who maintain their su-
periority in Tras-mi-Montes, and it even seems that they are 'ex-
mighwiriug provinces. It is affirmed that
tm raga anrlinv
Co mum are in their poste."
" At Lisbon the Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Finance have
consented to resume their functions, which has given general sa-
tisfaction, even in the Chamber of Deputies.
" Commodore Noronha, and Scullin. Moore Cabral, a magis-
trate, have the department* of the Marine and the interior.

Minister at War, who is ill."

" PARIS, Dec. 23.—1 t seems that the Spanish Government
intend to send towards the frontiers of Portugal a corps of 10,000
iisen, of which b,OOO are to be of the Royal Guard.

" Oporto is said to have been occupied by the Portuguese

" CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES—SrmNo or Mc. 22.
" After some preliminary business, the President I pro-
pose to the Chamber to assemble in the bureaux.'

"M. Casimir Perrier-1 ask leave to speak.
" The President.—But theist is no question before the
Chamber.

M. Casimir Perrier.—l desire to speak on the motion you have
just made.

" The President.—Leave is given.

" M. Casimir Perrier.—Gentlemen, you are going to meet in
the bureaux for the nomination of the committee which is to
draw up the address in answer to his Majesty's speech. You will
doubtless think it right that the project of the committee, and the
deliberations in which it is going to engage, should be supported
by all the necessary documents, in order that an address may pro-
ceed from this Chamber worthy of the nation, and worthy of
the Monarch at whose feet •it will be laid ; for this end it will
be necessary that this President of the Council should prove to us
that his policy and his conduct are founded on recta, and not on
vague assertions.

" The President.—lt seems to me that you cannot anticipate a
discussion which is not open. The project of the address ►s not
yet laid before the Chamber for. its examination. At the present
moment you will perceive that it would, perhaps, not be proper to
agitate before the time, a question like that which it is attempted
to raise.

" M. Casaitnir Perrier said he did not wish to raise a question,
but to show that certain papers ought to be communicated to the
Chamber. The following is a list of the pieces, said he, which
will enable the Chamber to reply to the King's speech..
" After some further discussion, in which M. B. Constant took
part, the President's proposal to meet in the bureaux was put, and
carried almost unanimously.
(Prom the Courier Francais of Saturday.)
" The majority of the Chamber of Deputies refused to-day to
hear a Deputy, who wished to speak to It upon a suhject which
engages every body's attention, and to which the most important
interests of France are attached. Undoubtedly the Chamber had
a right to do so. But the public has also a right to know the
efforts which some of the Deputies it has chosen make to obtain
'from the Ministry the information which public opinion requires.
We shall therefore lay before our readers the series of questions
which M. Cassimir Perrier intended to make front the tribune,
and which he has been so good as to communicate to our journal.

guese malcontents. It invites them,, at the same time, frankly
to declare their opinion on the subject. It is added, that the
Power in question has not concealed in its note that the suspicious
conduct of Spain, with respect to Portugal, might induce it to
lend assistance to its old ally, not to take part in its internal dis-
cords, but only to enable a legitimate Government, recognised
by all the European Powers, except one, to repel an attack
which, according to all appearance, must have been favoured by
foreigners ; and that, far from desiring to kindle war on the Con-
tinent by this step, it wishes the other Powers to offer their good
offices to prevent it; and in this case the declaration above asked
seems the most suitable means.
