LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING; FEBRUARY 7, 1827.

At a late hour this morning, an express arrived

from Paris, bringing the French Papers of Sunday,
and the Etoile of 111onday. The papers are almost
wholly filled with the continuation of the debates on

the Jury, and on the regulations of the Postage, and
contain no other news than the following article de-
scriptive of the flight of the rebel army under the Mar-
quis de CHAVES, after the defeat they sustained by
the troops under Count de VILLA FLOR, which ap-
pears to have been obtained ip a great degree by the
dismay into which the rebel ranks were thrown, on
the report reaching them of the landing of the British

- •
troops, with the addition of their being on the march
for Beira. It'is said that the Marquis de CHAVES

has been deprived of the chief command of the rebel
forces, and that Viscount MONTEALEGRE has suc-
ceeded him, but that the Army had dwindled down to
1,000 men, with whom he had re-entered the pro-
vince of Tras-os-Montes
:
(From the Etoile.)
" PARIS, FEB. 4.—Letters from Madrid of the 25th of Ja-
nuary say—' From the details respecting the affair of Coruches, it
seems that the insurgents engaged amounted to 11,000 men, and
that of Villa Flor to 7,000 at most. The victory was warmly
disputed during the whole of the day, but the report of the land-
ing of the English troops, with the addition that they had imme-
diately marched for Beira, caused a panic terror in the camp of
the Marquis de Chaves. The officers and Commanders themselves,
except Count Canellas, were the first to take to flight. The sol-
diers followed, and a great number of them went over to the enemy.
When they reached Almeida, the fugitives were beginning to rally,
when almost the whole of the corps of Magessi, hearing of the
amnesty published by the Regent, went in a body to give them-
selves up to Count Villa Flor. The remainder were terrified, and
fled to the Spanish territory, where in a tumultuous assembly the
Marquis de Chaves was deprived of the chief command, which
was*given to Viscount Monteleagre, who was able to collect but little
more than 1,000 men, with whom he is said to have re-entered
Portugal by Trati-os-Montes. The others have dispersed in small
detachments, some of whom have doubtless also repassed the fron-
tiers as Chaves and the other chiefs seem to have done. The
Marchioness de Chaves has not come to Madrid, but is with her
husband.' "

We learn by the last advices from Jamaica, that the

House of Assembly had passed a most complimentary
vote of thanks. to Vice-Admiral Sir LAWRENCE W.
HALSTED, for his conduct during the time he
has commanded his Majesty's ships on that station.
The following is a copy of the Gallant Admiral's letter
to the SPEAKER, in acknowledgment of the Vote of
Thanks :

• " Admiral's Pen, 9th Dec. 1826.

" Sir—lt is with the greatest pleasure I acknowledge the receipt
of your letter of yesterday's date, accompanied by the most flat-
tering Vote of Thanks from the Honourable House of Assembly
of Jamaica, the value of which cannot but be enhanced by its
.coming from so very respectable a body of his Majesty's subjects ;
and, in however favourable a light they have been pleased to view
toy conduct during the time I have had the honour to command
his Majesty's ships employed in the West Indies, I beg in return
to assure them, that I shall ever remember. the said period with
the most lively feelings of pleasure, as being one that I have
passed with great satisfaction, and with less inconvenience than I
can remember in the performance of my duty during the course
of many years service.
,4 I have now, Sir, the pleasure to request you will convey to
the Honourable Members of the Assembly my sincere thanks for
the honour they have done me, and you will be pleased to accept
the same for the handsome manner in which you have transmitted
the said vote with your individual sentiments on the occasion. I
must now, Sir, beg to be allowed, in addition, to express my
feelings with regard to the West India Colonies, which I do in
sincerity and truth, by a hope that they may soon arrive at that
pitch of prosperity which all true and honest patriots must ever
be anxious to see realized, and which, from their great importance
to the British Empire, becomes absolutely necessary, and more
particuiarly the Island of Jamaica, from its situation, and the
many advantages it possesses.

- .
"I have the honour to remain, Sir, your most obedient humble
servant, " L. W. HALSTED.

" To the Hon. David Finlayson, Speaker of the
Hen. House of Assembly, Jamaica."

It would seem that the pacific and highly honour-
able situation of Ambassador is not necessarily free
from peril, if we may judge by the case of Count
APPONY, the present representative of the Austrian
Empire at the Court of France. His EXCELLENCY
seems to have got himself into an awkward situation
with the French Marshals. Many of their titles being
derived from portions of the Austrian territory, and
having been in fact bestowed by Napoleon, in comme-
moration of victories obtained by him over that
.Em-

pire—the reigning SOVEREIGN is naturally averse to
the recollections of defeat and degradation which these
territorial appellations are apt to convey ; and has
(perhaps rashly) directed his Ambassador, at Paris,
to refuse to employ them in his intercourse with the
Marshals of France. The result has been, as might
be expected, high indignation on their part, evinced in
the case of SouLT, Duke of DALMATIA, by a letter,
threatening, if not conveying, a challenge to mortal
strife. The resentment of OUDINOT, Duke of REG-
GIO, has been appeased by the acknowledgement of his
title, it having been proved to the satisfaction of the
Austrian AMBASSADOR, that it was derived from
Reggio, in Calabria, not from Reggio, in Modena, as
had been erroneously supposed by his EXCELLENCY.

When BUONAPARTE had crushed the power of
Austria, and by the distribution of Principalities and
titles, was endeavouring to perpetuate to all succeeding
ages, the recollection of those great events in which
he had been the principal, actor, how difficult would
he have found it, in the confidence of his might, to
realise for a moment the possibility of that great re-
verse which so soon overtook him ; and to believe that
he, the master of half the civilized world—the dispenser
of wealth, and honour, and power, should end his
days in captivity, and, shut out from intercourse
with man on a barren rock in the midst of the
ocean—should thus expiate to a certain degree
the crimes which he had committed, and the incal-
culable misery which his wild ambition had brought
upon the human race. How absurd would he have
considered any prediction of the humiliation which
France has since suffered, and that the power which
then lay humbled beneath his feet should at no very
distant period dare to refuse the acknowledgment of
those proud titles which, in the plenitude of his arro-
gance, he heaped on his followers and friends. The
fate of the Lydian Monarch,
" By Solon cautioned to regard his eud,"
and all the "scenes of pompous woes" which the his-
tory of the world affords, seemed to him, as to the
rest of mankind, suited only

" To point a moral, or adorn a tale."

Even the exactly parallel catastrophe of the Swedish
CHARLES displayed to him no warning beacon. But
to return to our subject, whatever may be thought of
the EA'IPEROR'S objections to some of these titles, there
is one, the assumption of which, by a stranger, must
be particularly disagreeable : we mean that of the
Duke of RAGUSA, Wilkh is nothing more or less
than one of his own appellations. Were MARMONT
to appear at Vienna, there would then be in that city
two Dukes of RAGUSA ; so that the course for
Austria to take in this anomalous state of things, is
not quite so clear as the French Marshals may. sup-
.
pose. Crowned Heads, •however, in such cases,
should always act with the greatest temper and caution,
recollecting the vast importance of steps which in
private life would be considered of trifling moment.—

At all events, it seems rather hard that Count APPONY
should be held personally accountable for acting on the
instructions of his Imperial Master.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, Twelve o' Clock.

The British Funds have evinced rather a heavy appearance this
morning, and in the absence of any arrivals a number of reports
have been in circulation of a change in the Ministry, by the re-
tirement of Lord Liverpool ; and the re-entry of the refugees into
Portugal; the real fact is, we believe, that the Bulls having got
rid of a considerable portion of their stock yesterday at a good
price, have not the strong inducement they had formerly in sup-
porting Consols, which opened at the same rate they closed at yes-
terday, being 811 for account, but have subsequently fallen
