New York Papers to the L':it't of December. and [Loon
Papers to the 231 have reached u this morning, from
which we select the following:—

(From a Boston Paper of the 22nel)
IMPORTANT PROM WASHINGTON, Dac. 15.—The most
important fact which I can to day communicate is, that the
Committee on Foreign Affairs arc summoned by the Chili-
man, Mr.Forsyth, to meet immediately after the house ad-
journed this morning. I can do no more than mention
the circumstance. On the foregoiog the Association of
New York rearms ks We have little doubt, from infor-
mation obtained trom other sources, that the extraordi-
nary mill of the Committee is, in colseqnence of a formal
proposition having been made by the British Government
to our Government to unite in defence of the South Ame-
rican States, against any efforts of Spain with the Sove-
reigns culled the Holy Alliance.
(roost A NEW ♦ORK PAPER Or THE 24Th DEC )
FROM I.a.ol:tsa.—We learn from Captain Russel that the
Dutch at gun ship Liberty. which has been sold to the Colom-
bian Government, was coming to New York to be repaired.
A letter from Laguira states that Captain Broth.rton had
made a fine cruise, having captured SpaLish property to the
amount nearly of 300,000 dollars.
The Colombian() of the I lth has 19 articles, dated in Aug.
last, regulating the duties of importation into different parfs
of Colorchia.
Accounts from Alvorado to the 20th, by an arrival at
Poilidelplaia state, that the bombardment of Vera Crux
still continued. A bomb fell on the public store on the
Sth, exploded, and burst open the doors and sides of the
building, and property to the amount of 100,000 dollars
was plundered by the inhabitants.
(most Till MERCANTILE ADVERTISER, DEC. 2.)
*Jamaica papers to the •29:h ult. are received at Baltimore
The Icarus Brig of War arrived at Kingston on the •2lst.
in 5 days from Santa Martha. She brought information
that every thing was quiet in that neighbourhood. The
Indians had surrendered, sad with their Chief presented
themselves to the Governor of Santa Martha. who had
garrisoned the Town with 1000 men.

French Commissioners at Hydra to treat with the Greeks
for the cession of an island In the Archipelago (to be made
the seat of the restored Order of Malta),.lisild to have ex-
cited an extraordinary liensation at Constintinople. If the
report be trueohe fact would certainly possess considerable
importance ; not.so ,mucla on account of the restoration of
the Order, as because the mere. opehing of I.llegoclation
between France and Greece would imply an actual recog-
nition of the independence and sovereignty of the letter—
s recognition whirls we trust,for the honour of our country,
France will not be the first to make.
With respect to the relations between France and Spain,
the Convention which we yesterday stated to have taken
place, to indemnify and reimburse their respective sobjerts
for the losses which they had suffered during tie late war,
by captures at sea, is very amusing. An inquiry 'sad been
previously ixstitnted to ascertain the amount, and as it
was found to be nearly equal, it was agreed that the two
Governments should be considered acquitted towards each
other, and should take upon themselves the reimbursement
of their own subjects. The Journal des Debate regards
this arrangement as a an asterpiece of policy, and not
satisfied with making it the subject of panegyric on the
late appointment of a Superior Council of Com-
mere, seriously declares that it must decide tl e
fate of the approaching elections and ques-
tion of a Septennisl Chamber ! " The battle
of the Elections and the question of a Septennial
Chamber, it maintains, may be considered as already
gained on the part of the Monarchy. And after follooing
with frankness the "Constitutional System. feeling no
dread of the liberty of the Press, but on the contrary
committing to the tribunal of public opinion those ques-
tions which most deeply interest the State, it is impooalale
but that public opinion shoed not ultimately do josice-
to those who are entitled to it. The Ministers far Cie
first time will mount the tribune without fear ; both the
Peers and the Dloaties will know to what subject their at-
t'ntion is to he called : opinions will be formed beforelian I
lon the merits of the project of law to be disenie.l; the
debates will he shortened, and we can prophecy that the
! question of Septenniality will have as great a majority of
reasons as of votes in its favour."
Whilst the Journal des Debate, carried away by ill...joy-
ous anticipation of certain victory, indulges in rh.tpso ties
such as these, the Constlintionnel quietly records the addi-
tional expedients adopted by ministers or their agents to de
prive the regular electors of their votes, and to create new
ones. Many who paid 350 francs in taxes. hive hen r..-
duced to within a few cents of 300 francs (the sum whiu h
confers the elective franchise), a bilst other- who raid lass,
hare been raised a few cents above. It is even added that
the Christian names of some, whose qualitieations could
not ke denied, had been wrongly given on the hats, f..r the
purpose of producing delay and creataug a chance ca:
effecting their ultimate exclusion.

By the Hamburg mail, via Gotland, letters we e received
yesterday from Stockholm, dated the 2d instant. M. d'Oli-
veirs, late Charge d'Affaires from Portugal to the Court of
Sweden, had unexpectedly returned to Stockholm,—After
waiting. some weeks at Ystadt in expectation of a fiaoitreble
wind for his passage to Stralsund, he received an order from
his Court not to prosecute his journey to Rome, hut to return
to Lisbon. M. d'Oliveirs, conseq lenity, was preparing to
embark at Gottenburg for Barwie.t. with the intention of tak-
ing his passage for Lisbon by the Falmouth
Letters of the 10th instant, received yesterday from Copen-
hagen, announced the death of M. itoseneranz. Danish Minis-
ter for Foreign Affairs, on the night of tne dth, after only a
few days' illness. Ile had occupied that situation in the Nli-
risny from the year 1810. The derertemat of Foreign Affairs
has been confided, ad Interim. to Count Schimmelman, but
Count Blohm, Ambassador at Petersburg, was intended to be
the succesaor of Count Rosencranz. Should his Excellency,
however, of which there was some expectation, decline the
office, it would then be conferred on Count Eysser.
Private lettrrs from Madrid state positively that every
Spanish soldier is to be withdrawn from that capital, the
custody of which, and the protection of the Royal Family
and the Government. will therefore be entirely committed
to the French, This deterininalon hail been taken in
consequenee of the increasing antipathy between the Spa-
nish and French troops, and the nrient representations of
Gettetal Bournsont, who is stated to have declared his ina-
bility to preserve trantutillity, and to have threatened to
withdraw with his force, unless the Royalists were sent
away. General Bourinont is further stated to have sent
mach pressing demands to Paris fur reinforcements, that
lifteen or twenty thousand additional Frenchmen are im-
mediately to be sent into Spain. In Madrid it is 6,lieved
that a new convulsion will ere long take place.
Yesterday a Conn of Directors was held at the East In-
dia House, when John Pearson, Esq. took the usual na'h
on being appointed the Company's Advocate General in
Bengal.
It has been found (says a German Paper) that, in the
year 1823 the public journals contain accoants of no fewer
than 7bo fires. ,
DEATH Or THE BISHOP Or LICHIPIELD.—Died, at Rich-
mond, on To silty, the 20th James, Earl Cornwall ,
Bishop of Litchfield anti Coventry, and Dean of Durham,
in the 81st year of his age. He is succeeded in his title
and estates by his only bon, James Mann, Viscount Broine,
now Earl Cornwallis.
A Special Court of Quarter Sessions ;for the county of
Surrey was held yesterday, at the Court House, Newing-
ton. 'The Magistrates were summoned to approve certain
rules which had been drawn up by a committee of t e r
own body, in consequence of the late gaol act ; but as the
rules were very numerous, and also very voluminous, the
consideration of the major part of them was deferred to
Thursday, the 26th of February. If we heard these new
regulations rightly. one of them was to this effect :—That
to person confined in the county gaol under the sentence
of any Court shall be visited by his friends except between
the Mars of I Inpd It and then once a week.. We Vint
)111111teebody of-Magistracy will be found to ssiodan so
oppressive a measure with their approbation. The Goort
was then occupied in deciding on a plan for retaining the
prison in Horsemonger Lane more secure than it le at
prlment. It was understood that the question of the tread-
mill would be reconsidered on this occasion ; bat it was
determined that, as the Magistracy were summoned for a
special purpose, the Court was incompetent to entertain it.

We learn with satisfaction that the cotton works in
Renfrewahlre are again at work. The combination among

Tetierry CHAPEL, SALFORD.--The eastern dial of the
clock of this chapel, is now brilliantly illuminated with
gas, by means of which the hour may be distinguished
by persons at any distance of the old bridge.
Before Mr. Bell had finally retired from the Court of
Chancery, he waited on the Lord Chancellor to acquaint
him of his intention. The Learned Lord, justly estimat-
ing the distinguished legal abilities of Mr. Bell, remon-
strated with him on the impolicy of patting his intentions
into immediate execution. 'My Lord,' said Mr. Bell, • I
am growing old.' rI am your senior by some years,' re-
l•plied Lord Eldon. • My Lord. I feel myself growing
,weak.' ••I gm much weaker, Mr. Bell," said the Chan-
cellor. • I have a swimming in my heal—' • and so have
I," retorted kis Lordship. 'My Lord,' said Mr. Bell.' I
have made money coolgh.'—The Chancellor was silent!
