WOODCOCKS. •

During half a century last past there has not been known such
an abundance of woodcocks as at present. Early in the week,
as Mr. Chatfield, of Wtck, was hunting a hedge-rows on a farm
of his own, at Horton, with a solitary pointer, in less than half
an hour he flashed no lesi a number than twelVe woodcocks,
nine of which, in as many shots, he bagged. It is the opinion
of many persous,that when such birds visit us in unusual abund-
ance, it foretells a long anti rigid winter; and present appear-
ances are in no wise at variance with the predictive spirit of that
remark.
PIGF.ON
A match took place at Worthing, on Monday last, between
Mr. B. Wicks, of that town, and Mr. G. Faulkner, of Todior
too, near Liulehantpton, to shoot at 20 Pigeosis, 18 yards from
the trap, for live guineas, when Mr. F. killed 16' birds out of
18; and Mr. W. only 12 out of that number. The other four
pigeons were not shot at.
COCKING.
The cockers of Sussex and Hampshire had two grand days'
play at Chichester on Monday and Tuesday last. ' The most ce-
lebrated feeders from the Royal Pit, Westminster, Nash and
Fleming, superintended the respective pens. Fortune bestowed
her smiles each day on the former. At the close the numbers
were--Nash, Monday and Tuesday, 12 mains 9 byes. Fleming,
10 mains 2 byes. The three shake bag matches, Kash and Bolt
feeders, were all won by the former.

CAAUfa, P'AfFrllli.e.4 OF ItUWA, AT MADRID,
DATED VEItoNA-TIIV. rim (26+H) ov.
" The Sovereigns and the Plenipotentiaries assembled at Ve-

a boas atteistiou towards an ancient Alunarchy, which had beets
agitated with internal commotion% during two years, and which
nould not hut excite, in-an equal degree, the solicitude, the in-
terest,
and the apprehension of other Powers.
" When, in the month of March, 18SO, some perjored soldiers
timed their arms against their Sovereign and their country, to
impose upon Spain laws which the public reason of Europe, en-
lightened by the experience of all ages, stamped with its highest
disapprobation, the Allied Cabinets, and particularly that of St.
retershurgh, hastened to point out the calamities that would
I glow in the train of Institutions which consecrated military re-
Yoh, by the very mode of their esta',li,hinent.
" These fears were but too suoo and too thoroughly justified.
They are n.o. longer theories nor principb s, which are HOW to be
examined and approved. Facts speak aloud; and what feeling
must they not inspire in every Spaniard who yet cherishes a love
for his King and country? What t egret must he experienced at,
the ascendancy of the men who have brought about the Spanish
*volution ?
" At the moment when a deplorable success crowned their
enterprise, the int-grity of the Spanish Monarchy was the object
of the Spanish Government. The whole nation participated in
the wishes of his Catholic Majesty; all Europe bad offered hint

novations condemned to traverse the whole range of revolu-
tionary disasters.

DISPATCH OF M. THE PRINCE DE METTERNICH, TO
VIE CH A RGE D'AFFAIRES OF AUSTRIA, AT MADRID,
DATED VERoNA, DECEMBER 14, 1822.
" The situation in which the Spanish Monarchy finds itself,
in consequence of the events which have transpired in that State
during the last two years, was an object of too paramount im-
portance not to have seriously occupied the attention of the Ca-
binets assembled at Verona. The Emperor, our august master,
has desired that you should be informed of the view which he
takes of this momentous question, and it is to fulfil his desire
that I address to you the present dispatch.
" The Revolution of Spain was judged for us from its origin.
Conformably to eternai decrees, good can never arise to States,
any more-than to individuals, from a disregard of the first duties
imposed upon man in social order; the amelioration of the con-
dition of subjects should not be commenced by criminal illusions,
by perverting opinion and by misleatling the conscience; and
military revolt cast never form the basis of a happy and durable
Government.
" The Revolution of Spain, considered solely in retard to the
destructive influence which it has exercised over the kingdom
which has experienced it, would be an event worthy the undi-
vided attention and interest of Foreign Sovereigns; for the pro-
sperity or the ruin of one of the most interesting States of Eu-
rope, cannot be in their eyes an indifferent alternative; only the
enemies of Spain, if possibly she have any, could be capable of.
regarding, unmoved, the convulsions which prey upon her. A
just tepugnance, however, to meddle with the internal affairs of
an independent nation wisuld,perhaps,infitience these Sovereigns
not to pronounce on the situation of Spain, if the evil operated
by her revolution was concentrated, or could be concentrated,
within her territorial limits. But this is not the ease; this Re-
vollition, even before it arrived at maturity, had been the cause
