EXPRESSES FROM PARIS.

This forenoon we received, by two Expresses, the
Moniteur and Etoik of Saturday, and the Pilate of
yesterday. The minor Paris Journals give very im-
perfect copies of the Decree of the Duc d'Ancou-
Luiz, issued at Andujar on the Bth instant, which
virtually strips the Regency of Madrid of all power.
The Decree appears to have been acted upon, though
it met with some opposition.

The accounts from Corunna are only to the 7th
instant, and consequently could not mention the-ar-
rangements entered into between the Authorities and
the French for placing that town under the orders of
Moaird.o, of which we received intelligence on Satur-
day. It will be seen by the subjoined bulletin from
Marshal OunistoT, that General Bouacira com-
menced his attack on Corunna, on the 6th inst. having
previously summoned the Governor to surrender.
By accounts from Corunna, through another chan-
nel, we have received copies of the summons from
General BOURCIES, and the answer of the Governor
NOVSLLA. In the summons General Bonito(' points
out the means which he possesses for destroying a
town which he wishes;o save. He proposes that the
tows " shall remain in deposit, to be delivered tol
the King of SPAIN when he ceases to be captive."'
The Governor in his answer says, "I am prepared,
and decided, with the whole garrison of this place,
to maintain it at all costs, as our oaths, our honour,
and fidelity to the Constitutional KING demands it,
whom we in no manner consider a captive, as the
most recent news inibrm ns, and particularly his
MAJESTY having lately the goof:Ines:10 name me adj

interim Commandant of Ibis district, and conse-
quently General-in-Chief and Governor of this city.
When this answer was received, the French com-
menced an attack by land, and two French frigates,
two brigs, and two gun-boats entered the bay, and
commenced a heavy firing, but, it is said, were driven
off by the batteries. Two other frigates joined the
blockading squadron, and the firing was kept up the
whole, of the night of the 6th. The best parts of the
town had suffered much, several houses having been
set on fire by the shells, and the inhabitants pre-
vented from extinguishing them by occasional dis-
charges of grape-shot. Such are the accounts of
the siege from a private channel. The following are
extracts from the French Papers:

The squadron which submitted at the same

treat in the direction of Seu d'Urgel.

PEIIPIGVAI4, AUGUST 19.

We lcarn to-day th.tt the fort of Hostalrich has
been evacuated by the Constitutionalists: they went
off abandoning their wounded.
P. B. We have just received the following news by
an Extraordinary Courier:

" Van, Auc WIT 17.

" General Tromelin and Baron d'Eroles were yes-
terday at Prate de Cluzzones, and were to depart at
two o'clock for Gironella, where Milans is with his
rear-guard. The enemy wishes to gain the plain of
Urgel, or the position he occupies at Mout BlAnch."

This morning we received Dutch and Brussels
Papers to the 23d inst. and Hamburgh Papers to the
19th. It is stated, in an article from Copenhagen, of
the 12th, that M. V. LORICKS, the Swedish and Nor-
wegian Charge d'Affaires in Spain, has received or-
ders, on account of the change of the residence of the
foreign Ministers, some of whom are accredited to
Madrid and some to Cadiz, entirely to act in confor-
mity with the British Ambassador. The following
are extracts:

STOCKHOLM, AUGUST 8.

The proposal of the Committee to augment, by ten
thousand dollars, the salaries of our foreign Ambas-
dors, has caused much debate in the Chamber of the
Equestrians.
Baron AUCHARSWARD opposed it, and said he
often wondered how such necessary and highly paid
Officers as the Ministers at London, Petersburgh, and
Paris, could be so long and so often absent from
their posts.
Count Wirrritarranr, who approved the augmen-
tation, said, no Swedish Ambassador had above fif-
teen thousand dollars, and few of them had much
private fortune. Under these circumstances, their fi-
nances often became deranged, and it was necessary
to allow them to pass some time at home to put them
in order. The question is not yet decided.
Four hundred and thirty.one Swedish, and 463
Norwegian ships, passed the Sound last quarter.

BATAVIA, MARCH 22.
The Governor-General in Council, on the 11th of
February, adopted measures for the observance of the
Ordonnance by which the port of Batavia alone is
open for tho importation of foreign merchandise.

The accounts from Spain state, that the fortress-es
reject the order of BALLA/MEADS requiring them to
surrender. In a letter from the camp befog e Pampe-
luna, it is observed that the Constitutionalists pay in
attention to BALLASTEROS'a summonsi and that
they cannot be prevailed on to reognixethe negoncy.
When the Colonel of the 2d French Hussars delivered
the summons, General SALVADOR, the Governor of
Pampeluna was so enraged that the Frenchman err
petted to be arrested for being the bearer of so
dious a message,.
In the Siena Lone, Papers last received, an opi-
nion is advanced, that teak timber might form as

NAPLES.

Private letters from Naples to the sth inst. state,
that the KING was hourly expected in the Bay,.on his
return from Austria, having sailed from Leghorn on
the 3d inst. Illuminations and other tokens of pub-

lic jey, were in busy preparation.
The weather has been bad at Naples. During a
dreadful tempest, which occurred at that city on the
30th ult. the Royal Palace was struck early in the
morning by lightning. The cleat uctiire fluid pene-
trated to the Sala del Trono, and greatly injured that
splendid apartment; but this, with a large fracture
through the roof and ceilings, is the only damage
which the building has sustained.
A Gentleman who has just returned to Naples
from a tour through the province of Apulia and the
Capitanata, says—" The most perfect tranquillity
reigns in all the parts of the country that I have vi-
sited, though there is not a single Austrian beyond
Avellino, and only a few national gens (names; the
taxes are regularly paid, and the levy for the troops
goes on without disturbance. The celebrated band of
robbers that so long infested these parts is totally an-
nihilated ; I passed twice by night through the valley
of Bovino, the dreaded scene of their violence. The
heads and quarters of eight of the band are fastened
on poles by the spot where they generally descended
from the wooded mountains to attack travellers."
The following is an extract from the letter of a
commercial correspondent at Palermo:
" I mentioned a report in my last relative to an
extra duty of two tans on every ounce (three ducats)
of usual estimation per tarif. The Custom House
was most unexpectedly closed for a day, and the fol-
lowing morning the abovementioned advance was
declared. The British merchants have drawn up a
remonstrance which will be presented here, and a
copy sent to Mr. Hamilton, our Minister at Naples.
It is hoped the result will be favourable, as his Nea-
politan Majesty, in 1819, on the application of Sir
William A Court (on the like attempt to advance the
duties here), promised that no alteration in duties
that regarded the English should take place until the
tarif of Naples was put in force in Sicily, and this has
not yet been effected."

Lordship held tzp his hand on both sides the question.
con.idered his Lordship. as a man of weak mind.
John Alexander, a labourer, examined by 11r. TYN.
DAL.-111e u itness described the conduct of Lord
-port month in %, or king with the labourers in the fields,
• but he did more harm than good. It was a common
thing for him to whip people about ; he would play
3111 kin Is of tricks with them. Witness described at
Leat length some extravagant behaviour of his
ordship in the fields. He did everything by the
• rule of contrary.

Lucy Ilexande, examined by Mr. J. POWELL.--I
am the wife of John Alexander; I remember twenty'
year: ago, when his Lordship was working in the
.bay-fields, he wanted a man to drink some beer of
his. The man said he should get on with his work,
and not mind such a d—d fool as his Lordship. His
~,,d,hip came to me and cried about it, and I told
Powell', wife of it, and she said he was a d—d fool.
I think he knows no more than a child.

William Coles, examined by Mr. WETHERELL.-..-I
was employed by Lord Portsmouth as a day-labourer
at times. I have seen him driving his horses in a
cart; he was s uncimes a pretty middling driver, at
others very dangeunus. I went after the cart, and
was obliged to call out to him to take care of him-
self, for he was in danger, and did not know him-
self when he was in danger. At one time when some
xnen were loading a waggon, he drove it off the road
on to the other side against an, oak tree, in order to
throw off the load and the two men who were load-
ing it. Ile did brush off the load. The men slipped
off, and pretended that they had been canted off, at
which he was very much pleased.
Thomas Bennet, examined by the Cowoos Scn-.
JEANT.-I am a labouring man at Hurtsbourne. I
know Lord Portsmouth.—How did he drive?—Very
rationd. How is that ?--Why, very bad—(Laugh-
ter).—Elow did he drive the waggon ?—He didn't!
drive the waggon, he elrired the horses, said the wit-
ness, laughing at the question. If I hadn't one time
stopped the horses, by the blessing of Gob, he would
have been killed. When he was at Church, his sing-
ing was out of time and out of tune. His answers
sometimes used to come before, and sometimes after
the proper time.
Another witness was called, but as the time for
adjournment had arrived, the Court would not hear
any further evidence.

THE ?VNpt .

STOCK EXCHANGE, HALF-PAST TWELVE.

For a length of time there has not been so great a confusion in
the above Market as occurred this morning. The moment the
Market opened, Consols were done at 744 to 744. Immediately
after, a panic ensued, ht.th in Consols and Spanish Bonds, in
consequence of which Consols were done 4 74, 734 3, 734; got
up again to 734 I. But in the Spanish Bonds the depression was
of greater magnitude: they opened at 364, 3s, 34, 64, 3341
went up again to 344 4, at which price they ate up to, this hour.,
Various reports are afloat this morning : the fiht was, that 4
column of French troops had entered the Pyrenees, and block.
aded the fort of Hegel; the second, a very great failure at
Paris; the third, an expected failure of a great House in Spanish
Securities; the fourth, that the Spanish Government had drawn
bills on a House in T,.ondon, on account of the New Spanish
Loan, which were refused acceptance; the fifth, that presr..l
warrants were expected to be issued immediately. But all the
above reports may he construed into one, by the current report,
of some extensive failure on the eve of taking place.

.KENT V. TEBBUTT.

This action was brought by Mr. Kent, a person
who gives descriptions in some of the public prints
of pugiliitic operations, against Mr. Tebbutt, a Cap-
tain in the India service, for.assault and battery.
Mr. C. PHILLIPS opened the case as one of a very
aggravated and unprovoked assault, committed on
the plaintiff at the Haymarket Theatre, on the 11th
of October last. He thought it fair to state that an
indictment had been preferred for the same assault at
the Middlesex Sessions, on which the defendant was
convicted and fined 101. but he believed he should be
able to spew, by Mr. Ford, the attorney for the plain-
tiff, that the Bench took into consideration the pen-
dency of the present action,when they passed so lenient
a sentence.
London, England, 1823-02-14

meat wou'lsremit th eTent to the contractors, it was
also agreei that a similar -remission :bolsi(' be made
in favour of the phintiffs. Under these Ciretitiiitances,
the sum of 4061. was paid by Messrs. Truscott and
Co. into the hands of Messrs, Marsh and Co. the tle-
fendants, to be paid in the one event to them,. and in
the other, to Messrs. Brindleys. The Coronation did
take place : but the speculation of Messrs..Brindleys
and of the plaintiffs turned out so unfortunate, that
each sustained considerable loss, independent of Are
rent which they were to pay. Messrs. Brindleys,
therefore, with others, petitioned for a remission of
the rent, and the Treasury, with a liberality which
its officers were always disposed to 'sfiew, remitted
Ithe whole rent. Messrs. Truscott and Co. now con-
tended that they were entitled to participate in the
benefits of their remission ; but Messrs. Brindleys
asserted their right to receive the whole rent from
them, although they paid nothing to Government;
and the defendants, Messrs. Marsh and Co. had paid
over the 4061. to them, on their indemnifying them
against the claims of the plaintiffs. Upon this case,
as it would be proved in evidence, there could be no
doubt that, both in law and justice, the plaintiffs
were entitled to recover.

This case was proved by officers from the Board
of Works. •

Mr. F. Patt.ont, for the defendants, pot in two
letters, for the purpose of spewing that the rent was
' only to be remitted in case no Coronation should be
solemnised ; and contended, that the plaintiffs were
no more entitled to share in the benefit of the remis-
sion which Messrs. Brindleys had obtained, than if
the Treasury had presented Messrs. Brindleys with a
sum of the same amount.

The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE expressed his decidet.:
opinion that the remission by the Treasury was in-
tended to apply, and did apply, to all parties who
had taken ground. He would, however, give leave
to the Counsel for the defendants to bring the case
before the Court on a motion for entering a nensuit.
The Jury then, under his Lordship's directions,
found a verdict for tile plaintiffs—Damages £lO6.

SPANISH AND FRENCH COLONIES.

The American Papers contain a correspondence
between the French Governor of Martinique, Count
Donnelot, and Admiral Betgeret, who commands the
French naval force in the Antilles, and GeneralVives,
the Governor-General of Cuba, in which the former
submit propositions for preserving, under certain con-
ditions; a strict neutrality, or rather, the uninterrupted
'relations of peace between the French and Spanish
Colonies. The reply of Vices is as vigorous as any
speech that was delivered in the Cortes, before they
set off for Seville, and while the French army reposed
within its own frontier. The following observations
on this correspondence appear in the National Intel-
ligencer of the 29th ult.
" General Vives, the late Ministe; of Spain to the
United States, and. now the Goiernor-General of
Cuba, has, under the circumstances of the times, a
difficult and responsible part to act. He seems. to be
quite equal to it, and, although he appeared, whilst
.residing here, to be of a mild, taciturn. and retiring
character, he has in the present crisis displayed con:-'
siderable energy of character, He has promptlY re-
jected a proposition for neutrality in the present con-
flict between the metropolitan country and Frioce,
q add displays considerable actiiitrand energy in iiir-
tainting the physical force of the island, to put him.'
-self in a position to defy menaces as he has resisted
seduction. .There seems to be some doubt what course
lie will pursue, if the Constitution.of Spain be over-
throwu. To a question op that poineky.tbe munici'
pality of Havannah, he has antweied that he will'bt.
true to his oath. This oracular answer does not up;
pear to hirve given entire satisfaction to the Corpora-
Lion of Ilavannah; but it is difficult toconceive, what
suisfactoty.aosarer he could luxe giy,ll to a,,qoestiop
iotinded upon a contingency, the occurrence ofivhich
it was his duty, as a P:Oblic °Mitt:, beta iuticipit."

truly valuable in the Room of Sickness, even if used about the
lied, and a. a Light to convey about the House; is a protection of
toe Carpets from Tallow or Wdz, and an antidote to greasy Candle-
sticks and waste of Candle; so simple that it can be trimmed with
little more than a touch ; and requires to be replen:lted wi' h Cot-
ton onli once in two Months. Sold in Japan Stands ; and Bronze,
suited to the Chambers of the affiuert. The expense in Oil is not
half that of a common Rushlights

IMPOSTURE UNMASKED.

THE progress of MERIT, although frequently as.
sailed, is not impeded by ENT: and Haveasersox. The 4g-
gression of ambuscade terminates in defeat ; and conscious rectitude
ultimately triumphs in the attainment of the grand object—public
approbation. The test of experience is the guarantee of favour, and
has established WARREN'S BLACKING in general estimation:
of which there exists not a stronger proof than the tacit acknow-
.ledgment of a host of servile imitators, who surreptitiously obtrude
on the unwary a spurious preparation as the genuine article, to the
great disappointment of the unguarded purchaser and manifest in-
' jury of W A RREN, whose character and interest by this iniquitous
system are equally subject to detriment. It becomes therefore an
indispensable duty to CAUTION THE PUBLIC against the
manoeuvres of Unprincipled Venders, who having no character to
lose, and stimulated by avarice in their nefarious pursuits, aim at
the acquisition of money through any medium than tbatuf honour!'

ealled.—He deposed that Lord Portsmouth was very
foild of going into the witness's slaughter-house and
knocking down the beasts. He would take the axe
and hit the animal on the head anywhere. If he
knocked down a bullock, be would say, " it serves it
right the vicious toad, or vicious thine---(Leughter).
Joseph Head was examined by Mr. %TM:WILL.—
Witness, in 1806 or 1806, entered into the service,
of Lord Portsmouth. He was hired by the late
Lady Portsmouth, wird' directed him either to obey
Lord Portsmouth or not, as he should think pro-
per. Witness frequently did. refuse to obey Lord
Portsmouth, whose orders were often so absurd, that
the witness refused to obey them. His Lordship
would often order the witness to blow out the can-'
dies, and to leave himself in the dark. His Lordship
would often lock out the Servants when they stopped
out in the rain, so that they might get themselves
wet. Ile would often prescribe to the servants a dose
of jalap, mustard, and pepper; he would often ob.
lige them to take the dose. On one occasion he
mixed np a dose of this kind in beer himielf, and held
the man whilst he drank it. He prescribed at another
time a dose of six ounces of jalap to each servant,
On a second occasion he prescribed a dose of twelve
ounces, and he afterwards ordered the. dose 'to be
repeated. The witness, with ' the others, did not
choose to obey those orders. Witness hid heard Lord
Portsmouth say, that he lost his best\ frienti when
he lost the late Countess, and that his preienttossd-
tess treated him like a dog, and that he would hive
her taken before a Magistrate. On one occasion;
after his Lordship's marriage, witness beard
in the house. Mr. Hanson, who was in the parlour,
desired the witness to follow him, and they went up
stairs to Lord Portsmouth's bed-room, when Lady
Portsmouth came out and said it was nothing. Lord.
Portsmouth afterwards told the witness that Lady
Portsmouth had horsewhipred him, and had told
him that she would have four men to horsewhip
him. and that there was a jailer in the house for the
parpose. He asked the witness if that were the
ca“' ? Witness heard his Lordship scream out 44 Mor-
d t' from the bed-room three weeks after marriage.
His Lordship would often steal behind the servants
:Ansi pull their ears severely. Afier the death of the
late Countess of Portsmouth his Lordship told the
w mess that he and Mr. Hanson had a wife in view.
Witness said he supposed it was Miss Hanson ? Lord
Portsmouth replied, he could not say, as Mr. Hanson
had told hini not to mention it. Witness sand his
Lordship, on the morning of his marriage, leave his
house in Lincoln's Inn-fields, at between eight and
nine in the morning ; he was dressed in a black coat
and waistcoat and pantaloons, Hessian boots, and hat.'
with crape upon it.—Witness was proceeding, when

CHAMBER OF DEPUTTBS,. FEBRUARY 18.
The klinister of Finance presented the Budget. The total
rendered necessary by the settlentetit of the expenses for 1821 is
12,323,8391. But the adjustment of the expenses warranted the
reduction of the credits opened by the law to the amount of
11,566,859. f. which make a difference of only 818,9801. between
the estimated and the real expenses. By the adjustments which
I have thus been made, the expetists of 7821, whichwere eaten-
!sited at 8221135,214 f. become 883,054,2541.
The receipts'of 1821, estimated at 1129,021,745 f.
have produced an excess of - - 26,569;690f.
This increases the resources appropriated for the
serviee of 1821 to 915,591,4351.
The adjustment of the credits makes the expen-
diture only
Surplus produce over the expeeditu re for 1821 32,537.181 f.
In the. Account presented to the Chamber in' June, 1822, the
surplus for 1821 was stated at only 31,542,405 f. which was trans..
ferred to the Budget .f0r.,1822. The Budget of that year also
presented a surplus receipt beyond the expenses of 2,t 92,330 f.
There was, therefore, a sum left unemployed, for 1825, of
10,287,106 f.
In 1822, the credits granted have been exceeded by 25,355,537
francs. in consequence of expenses not provided for by law.
The Receipts of the same year, however, exceeded the Esti-
mates, viz. for Registration, 4,836,097 francs; Woods, 275,515
-franca; Customs, 8,045,983 francs ; Salt, 355.8:55 francs ;
indi-
're4t Taxes, 10,823.599 francs ; Post Office, 700,786 franca; the
WOO. 3,325,6251. Miscellanies, 894 francs. Finally, lbel:X-
goclatint, of the 12,000,000 francs realized in ler2 has produced
.16,493,599 francs, which, allowing for 801'5,060 francs of detal-
' cation On some articles, makes 45,539,322 francs of excess in the
estimated receipts. Thus the adjusunent of the Budget of 182.2
Preaentothc following results :
Receipts • -' 958,859,985
.
Expenses - ' • 9Z6,201,182
Excess of the disposable receipt on Ist of Janu-
