DON MIGUEL.

(From the Quveidienne.)
'The Prince Don Miguel quitted Vienna on the
th of November, for Carlsruhe, where he will ar-
rive on the 4th of December. From thence he will
reach the frontiers of France, and proceed direct to
Paris- As soon as this intended route was-known,
the French Ministry, at the suggestion of the Eng-
hsh Ambassador, issued orders through the police to
the Portuguese Royalists, to quit Paris, in order,
doubtless, that the Prince, like one detained in
captivity, should not communicate with his most
faithful servants. Some have been ordered to repair
to Tours, others to Orleans. M. d'Aponte de Nec-
raon, who travelled into Germany to see his King
Miguel, has been compelled to depart immediately
for Bordeaux. There is not one Portuguese, down
to the Faithful bearer of some letters from the Queen--
mother to her son, who has not been removed to a
distance from 'the capital. •
Don Miguel ivill arrive in Paris on the 15th of
December, and orders are.given to allow no Portu-
guese to approach his person, without permission
being granted either by the English Ambassador or
the Charge d'Affaires from Portugal. It is wished
to place
,near the Prince none but men devoted to
the new systom, established by the constitution of
Don Pedro, and it is dreaded that he should come
in contact with any Pohuguese who could reveal to
him the real situation of his people.
It is believed that the Duke de Gramont, Captain
of the Guards, who is perfectly acquainted with the
Portuguese language, and is connected by marriage
with a noble family -of that country, will be charged
with high functions near the Prince, who will occupy
the Palace of. l'Elysee Bourbon. Don Miguel is
very much liked by our Princes and Princesses, and
..he Court is preparing for him a brilliant reception,
which may efface the sombre impressions which the
conduct of the French Ministry with regard to him
must naturally produce on his mind. Many Royal
hunting. parties are in preparation, and Madame the
Duchess de Berri will give balls and brilliant soirees.
We are assured that the Princer during his sojourn
at Vienna, completed his education, and cultivated
the.natural talents which distinguish him.

It is-not known what al. be the term of Don
Miguel's stay et Paris. We arc also ignorant whe-
ther he will proceed direct to Lisbon or Whether the
English Nvill exact that he shall pass through Lon-
doti -Souse persons say that during his stay at
Paris, the French Ministry will place the august
Prince so completely at the disposal of the English
Cabinet, that a.journey to London may appear use-
less even to Lord Granville. Others, on the con-
trary, believe that he will be conducted to London,
and there placed in communication with Saldanha,
land the other violent partisans of the Constitutional
cause. England desires at any cost to maintain her
influence at Lisbon, and the residedce of a month or
two in London way, perhaps, dispose him towards
English ideas, and, render him favourable to the in-
tercourse with Great Britain. It is even said that
it is the design of the English Cabinet to send Don
Miguel to his brother in Brazil, and by that means
to avoid the inevitable effect which his presence will
produce at Lisbon.
Finally, the letters from Portugal state, .that the
Queen Mother and the faithful subjects of Don Mi-
guel, offerlip prayers for the safe return of the cap-
tive King.

A Work is announced as on the eve of pub-
lication, which is likely to attract the attention of the re-
ligious world,, under the title of the " Oriental Mis-
sionary," containing some account of a Mission undertaken
for thf propagation of Christian Knowledge in Arabia,
and on the Banks of the Euphrates, during the years 182
And 1825.

THE SAFEST SITUATION DURING A
TriuNnEp. Srortat.—The safest situation in a thunder
storm is in the Middle of a large room in bed, as feathers
are bad cOnductors of the electric fluid, or lightning ; but
Is the bell-wires readily conduct it, such bed should be re-
moved fromthern.-,...1t would be as well to stand at some
distance front the chimney on a woollen rug, which is a
non-conductor. The safest place out of doors is in the
Middle- of a field, anti not near a tree, and to stretch at full
length On the ground. Ifa tree be moist, the electric fluid
passes down between the hark and its substance, splitting
it in all directions, and the lightning will pass to the best
conductor near it ; and if any unfortunate animal be under
the tree it will be killed.

THE MANOR SETO R E.—A discovery was
Made on Monday week, whilst digging for stone, in that
part where formerly"has stood the south transept of the
Abbey, f-,f a stzbterraoeous passage, 7 feet high and 3 feet
wide. This passage; like the palace, and other subsequent
buildings, has evidently been formed out of the spoils of the
Abbey, A 5 tho materials of which it is composed presented
the usual appearance of carved mouldings, segments of
arches, &c. thrown together as suited the convenience of
the builders. The rude construction of this passage also
FociairnAit-to have been a work of haste, prompted by the
nr4:s-w<f of the moment, and antiquarian conjecture has
probably correctly assigned its date to those perilous times
waxen the Parliament struggled with the Monarch for
the preservation of the Free Constitution of England against
the encroachments of " the right divine," it being sup-
posed to have been intended as a sally-port for the relief of
the palace. For whatever further discoveries may be made
amongst those interesting remains we must now be in-
debted to the fortuitous efforts of the workmen employed
on the Yorkshire Museum, which is rapidly proceeding
with, as the excavating fund is exhausted, ,and the work-
men paid horn it were discharged on Saturday week. A
- Mason's chisel was turned up a few days ago, amongst the
rubbish under the floors'of one of the apartments.— York

BLonr-uP OF A 1-lELL.—On Saturday night
between eleven and • twelve o'clock, chief Peace-officer
GOODISON, attended by a posse of Police, succeeded in
apprehending eight persons at SrENces gambling-house, in
Great Brunswick-street. The' room in which the com-
pany were assembled, watconneeted with the apartment
underneath by a trap-door, through which they descended,
when an alarm was given. The gentlemen were sitting
round a hazard table, regarding the progress of the game
with intense anxiety, when GOODISON made his appearance
amongst them. Never did an apparition produce such
paralysing dread on a nervous imagination. Having ascen-
ded the stairs which led to the trap-door, he slowly raised it
and presented himself before them. Having given a signal
to the patrole, they quickly followed hit vnto the room,
and took into custody all the gamblers, vircom they lodged
in College-street watch-house. They seized on the ha-
zard,tahle and other gambling apparatus found in the
bnulis, as-well as the money which lay on the table. The
prisoners were brought before Sir Gaaarr NEvir,LE, yes-
terday, for examination. Two of them are half.pay offi-
cers, two others are College students, and the remaining
four consist of an attorney's clerk, and three gentlemen at
large, whose Profession it would be difficult to define._

MUSIC-=-LOGIEWS PLAN.

A SYSTEM OF THE SCIENCE OF MUSIC AND

PRACTICAL COMPOSITION ;

INCHANTALLT COMPRISING WHAT IS USUALLY UNDER-

STOOD BY THE TERibt, TliditotaH-BASS.

ty J. B. LoGIEB., —GREEN, Soho-square.

This work, presented to the public in Two. Parts,
confers considerable credit on its ingenious author,
as well on account of the systematic plan on which
it is conducted, as because that plan► is too clearly
explained, not to be rendered as intelligible as use-
ful to the most common apprehension.

In treating this subject, (a subject so important
to all who are gifted with a taste for the harmonic
art,) Mr. Logier has judiciously commenced with the
first rudimental principles ; from the consideration of
which he gradually proceeds to that of the higher
rules of science, leading his readers forward by the
easiest possible gradations.
. _ _

After laying down all the several scales, he
gives a view of the circle of keys—of their
enharmonic modifications—of their relative • mi-
nprs—their major and minor common chords
—their major and minor thirds—their fundamental
sevenths, together with the fundamental basses of
the scales, and the most eligible methods of avoiding
the anomalies of consecutive eighths and fifths.
Having thus occupied the first tvtenty-two pages of
his treatise, he enters upon the diversifications of the
common chord, which he exhibits in the style or
manner of variations, furnishing both examples and
exercises in the • various keys. These are followed
by representations of the several positions of the
common chord, the manner in which we ought to
commence the task of writing in four parts, the
nature and effect of the seventh, and the best mode
of its introduction. Certain rules-are then given for
accompanying the. scale, by which an almost infinite
variety of effect may be produced. We are next
led to the specific character of each of the four parts
of the harmony, and their occasional local inter-
,changes, for the purpose of paetieular advantages in
construction or effect.

From these important particulars we are carried
to the consideration of the vibratory laws of strings,
and are made acquainted with the means by which,
in imitation of Nature, we may supply the multifa-
rious scales of the boundless regions of sound, and
receive a sere, though faintly-perceptible indication,
that, in music, scientific research should succeed
natural instruction—that is, should be founded upon
facts, previously observed and examined ; or that
(speaking, perhaps, still more clearly) our task
should commence where that of Nature ceases.

In treating of simple and compound dissonances,
and the intervals they suspend, as also their inverted
basses, Mr. L. has manifested much address as a
communicator of theoretic intelligence, and the
exercise in modulation with which he ac-
companies and illustrates his principles, is
happily adapted to its intended use. The
remarks made on cadences, though occasionally
changing the time of the same movement, the rules
for the introduction of dissonances, and for the judi-
cious selection of inverted basses, are well calcu-
lated to so advance the knowledge and improve the
taste of the student, as to qualify him to form a
judgment of his own.
Arriving at the province of open or 'extended har-
mony, the author naturally becomes more elaborate.
He takes .a view of double counterpoint in the oc-
tave, goes on to the consideration of the chord of
the minor ninth, and its variously-designated inver-
sions, and gives rules for modulating by melodial in-
tervals, which are luminously exemplified, and.fol-
lowed by well-studied though concise explanations
_of the chord of the sharp sixth, both simple and
compound ; a. chord prominently essential both to
the dignity and the grace_ of composition. The
minor scales are lucidly defined, and the har-
monies of ' the major ninth and the minor ninth
are exhibited in all their various for Ms. The
method of harmonizing a melody, whether in
the. treble, alto, tenor, or bass, and the art of
changing the places of the several parts, are
clearly shown; by. which the reader is enabled to
harmonise a melody, and furnished with a new scope
for the exertion of his talents. The observations on
accented and unaccented passing notes, are particu-
larly useful : their objects and consequences arc
amply discussed, and as diversely demonstrated as
ingenious and sedulous contrivance could effect.
In the 214th and four succeeding examples, Mr.
Logier has successfully endeavoured to lay down and
make manifest the principle of 'auxiliary notes, and
the doctrine of harmonic imitation; and in appro.
-priate melodies has exhibited the embellishing and
effective properties of these accessaries to good
composition.
After a multiplied diversity of enlightening and
highly essential matter, the author proceeds to that im-
portant portion of his subject, Rhythin; a department
of the musician's science in which his feelings find the
most gratifying latitude for their dev'elopenient; in
which his soul can best express its passions, and the
mysterious effects of combined and modulated sound
be most strikingly realized. On this topic Mr. Lo-
gier dwells with the necessary diffuseness, rendering
its beauty perspicuous, and its importance manifest.
After explaining the .construction of melodies, and*
their periods, and the necessity of system in comp..
sition (the exposé of which .constitutes one of the
most original and interesting features of the work),
the theorist guides the young composer through the
introductory paths of musical azaborsh, instructs hi m
' in the use of his already acquired and accumulating
knowledge, anti while he creates, justifies the hope
of future proficiency ; a hope further strengthened
by the advantage the student .derives from the ju-
dicious analyzation of selections from Corelli, Haydn,
and other classical masters.

Did our limits allow, inanY other parts of this in-
genious publication would have the notice due to
their respective merits; but, to use the author's,
own language, in page 193, 4. It would have led us
far beyond the limits necessarily prescribed to us."
We must, therefore, confine what we further have
to say to a few general observations
Though, viewing this systent of the Science of
11Iusic in the aggregate, we cannot but allow it to
possess very considerable merit, and to be calculated
to greatly benefit musical Students (as we under-
stand the use' of it in Mr. Logier's own Academy
has already proved)) yet we, do not mean to speak
defects;
of it as a work free from but as partially
partaking of those imperfections which experience
has long since taught the public to expect in all
didactic. publications. The first error in theproduction
before us, is in its title. Mr. Logier does not, in fact,
present us with a systcto ofthescieneeef nzusie,but with
a system of musical instruction—a system purely his
own—and which, as embracing the whole course of
an harmonic education, and being eminently calcu-
lated to effect its laudable purpose, confers upon his
industry, and upon his abilities, no common degree
of honour. We are not only pleased with the nu-
merous demonstrations he adduces of his science and'
inge„.„ity,. but with the ardour or zeal he every
where evinces in dispensing information, and en-
lightening his readers on the delightful subject of
his lucubrations; but the very intenseness of his
ardour, the very warmth of his zeal, has, we must
betrayed him into what we consider a somewhat
anomalous 'arrangement of dome portion of his
say, betray
materials. Not always concluding the topic imme-
diately.before him, he passes prematurely to more
forward Points, which necessitates a kind of retro-
gradeprocess. These, and some few obscurities,
together with a certain degree of quaintness, and,
perhaps a little occasional pedantry of manner, form
the sign of our objections; which, however, are too
strongly contrasted by the great and numerous
merits of the work, and the magnitude of its utility
to aspirants in musical study, not to be of but very
diminutive consequence. The present Treatise, in-
deed, is the best concocted, and most comprehensive
practical instruction book, in its particular kind, that
has yet appeared. It has in it, so much of the
authors own peculiar and exclusive inctlxl; so

much novelty of design, and propriety of conduct ;
that it is not going too far to call it a production
sui generic ; to say that it is not less distinguished
by its originality of character, than by its so per-
fectly supplying what. has long been a desideratum
in musical literature; and that it cannot fail to pro-
mote the cultivation-of a science at once rational and
delightful, and the 'interests of which Mr. Logiel
has evidently so much at heart.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE

FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the ConstitutionneL)

LISBON, Nov. 17.—The Government Gazelle
yesterday morning published the following official
declaration - •

(MINISTRY FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS.)
It results from despatches received from the Por-
tuguese Legation at. Madrid, that the Government
of his Catholic Majesty has again directed the Cap-
tain-General of Provinces bordering on this king-
dom, to cause to retire 60 leagues from the frontier
all the Portuguese military who have sought an asy-
lum in Spain, and that it- has in like manner deter-
mined that the citizens who have taken refuge with-
in the said kingdom, who, up to the present period,
were established within six leagues of the frontier,
should retire into the interior of Spain to the dis-
tance of twenty leagues. This measure was taken
on the 22d October, and- on the. 2d November a
communication on the part of that Cabinet 'was re-
ceived, relative to doubts which had arisen, whether
if the emigrant Portuguese who, after having re-
entered Portugal, should return into Spain to seek
an asylum, it should be allowed them. His Catho-
lic Majesty has thought fit to declare, that for the
future an asylum is to be refused :to those who may
solicit for the second time. These orders are a ma-
nifest proof of the good faith of the Spanish Go-
vernment, -and of its sincere desire to proceed in
every way so as to avoid any pretext whatever,
which might cause any change in the good under-
standing which happily subsists between the two
nations.

(raivATE coaaesrownENce.)•
MADRID, Nov. 2.—M. Cordova, Secretary to our
inbassy at Constantinople, 'has just arrived here
with a treaty concluded by us with the Porte rela-
tive to our navigation of the Black Sea.
There is again talk of negociating a loan; it is

The marble group of the scalptor Alvarez, the
pupil of the celebrated Canova, has just been de-
nounced a Liberal. This group relnesents a young
man at the siege of Saragossa, who, seeing his father
near being pierced by a brim., interposes between
them, seizes the lance with one hand, and with the
other kills the lancer.

(From the -Quotidienne,)
MADRID, NOV. 22.--The Marquis de Torte, who
was already on board a ship ready to leave Tarragona,
came on shore in puler ,to lie confronted with the
brigand chief Ballester ; the latter declared that it
was the Marquis who had supplied him with the
money necessary for the raising of his band; in con-
sequence, the Marquis was committed to the prison
of Tarragona. Ballester has since been hanged.
The MercheAts of Barcelona having consulted the
Count D'Espagne, as to what present his Majesty
would receive with most plea Sure, have, on the
General's advice, decided, that they would ask the
favour of being allowed to clothe 'the Ist and 2d
Regiments of the Guard, who are immediately to
arrive at Barcelona, and whose equipment is in a
very wretched state, taking into 'consideration that
these two regiments, which formed part of the Army
Of Observation of the Tagus, have been campaigning
for a long time.,

PARIS, DEC. ?..—His Majesty Gustavus Adolphus,
formerly King of Sweden, who, according to some
German Papers, was about to take a journey into.
Turkey, is at present engaged in visiting the Low
Countries. This Prince arrived on the 26th, in the
morning, at Utrecht; in the evening be went to the
Theatre, and on the next day set off for the gape.

On Tuesday night the Duke and Duchess of
CLARENCE gave a ball and supper at their residence in
Bushy-park. Their Royal Highnesses dined in a private
manner at five o'clock to avoid interfering with the pre-
parations for the entertainment. The grand entrance to

the mansion was brilliantly illuminated ; the ball-room and
the state suite of apartMents leading to it were most taste-
fully decorated on the occasion. Prince Lxorotn was the
only member of the Royal Family present. The company
consisted ofhetween 400 and 500 of the Nobility and Gentry.
The Duchess of GLOUCESTER left the re3i-
dence of the Princess AuausTA. in the King's Palace, St:
James's, yesterday morning, (where the Royal Duchess has
been staying for some weeks past on a visit to her Royal
Highness), for, her Royal Highness's scat in Bagsbot-park.
A Cabinet Council was held yesterday after-
noon at the Foreign-office, Downing-street, the summonses
for the assembling of which were issued on Tuesday morning.
A short time previous
.to the assembling of the Cabinet,
the Marquis of ANGLESEA arrived at the Foreign-office in
his carriage and four, having come to town from Hastings,
for the purpose of attending the Council. The other
Ministers present were, the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Mar-
quess of LaNsnOWNE, Viscount ,GODERICH, the Earl of
CAP.LISLE, Earl DUDLEY, Viscount PALSIERsTON, Mr.
HussassoN, Mr. WYNN, the CHANCELLOR of the Ex-
CHEQUER, Mr. CHARLES GRANT, Mr. STURGES BOURNS,
and Mr. T1E142,7.11'. The Ministers assembled at. half-
past three o'clock, and continued in deliberation till half-past
six o'clock.
Prince ESTERHAZY, the Austrian Ambas-.
sador,'Prinee LrEvEN, the Russian Ambassador, and the
Marquisqle PaLamELLa, the Portuguese Ambassador, trans-
acted business with Earl DUDLEY yesterday, at the Foreign-
office.
The DUKE of WELLINGTON arrived -at his
residence, Apsley-house, Piccadilly, yesterday morning.
The Committee appointed to conduct the
Concert, to be given to-morrow at Albion-hall, London-
wall, for the benefit of the Spanish and Italian Refugees,
present their respectful compliments to the Editor of the
Times, and beg to inform him that the Right Hon. the
LORD MAYOR has most handsomely' condescended. to state
that he will attend time same, with his family and friends.--
Times.—[We earnestly hope the proposed Concert will
meet that encouragement which its generous object so enti-;
nently deserves—an object not more worthy, of the patron-
age of a free people, than melancholy, that the votaries of
freedom should ever be redmiced to require that charity
which themselves were the first to bestow.--E44]
COMMENCEMENT OF THE SEASON IN THE
FASHIONABLE WORLD.—Mr. —, purveyor of animal
substances, residing in the neighbourhood Of Grosvenor-
square, some days ago issued car& of invitation for last
evening, which ran thus :—" Mr. and,Mre. at home
on Wednesday evening, Dcc. 5. Cards and quadrilles."
And accordingly last night there was a most numerous as-
sembly at his house, the corner of street. Mr. GUN-
TER, the celebrated confectioner, of Berkeley-square, sup.
plied a splendid supper on the occasion, and a distinguished
knight of the thimble officiated in aid of time worthy host,
as master of the ceremonias.— Times.
We hope- that the intelligence contained in
the two following paragraphs (which we extract from the
Brighton Gazette) is incorrect, or at least exaggerated :
" We understand that Mr. KEAN coutiuues in a most
alarming state of health, so that it is doubtful whether he
will be able to play again.' Two ulcers have, we are told,
made their appearance• on his face, and he is altogether in
a most debilitated condition. Our readers will remember
that we were the first to point out last year the serious ill-
ness of Mr. KEAN."—" Since the above was written, we
have received the following from the same correspondent,
by whom we were furnished with the account of NIL
KEAN'S illness last year Mr. KEAN, whose precarious
state of health we have repeatedly noticed, is now so bad
as to render it probable that he never will be able to appear
on the stage again. The truth is, his nose is sunk, from
the erysipelas having attacked that organ." '--Brighton
