army. In several of the Ultra Journals it is attested that
General Gnilleminot vrill resume his functions as Chief of
the Staff, and Marshal Victor return to Paris, and re-
sume his duties as War Minister. One of the Aides-
de.camp of the former, however, the Couritr E4rait-
pis says, arrived in Paris, on Tuesday, under the
conduct of an officer of Gendarmerie. On the 26th
ult. the Police Commissaries of Bunrdeans proceeded
to an hotel in that town to arrest an individual who had
been denounced by superior authority. They, however,
only seized two boxes belonging to him, as he had
escaped. Letters from Marseilles, of the same date, re-
present that city as continuing to be the scene of great
agitations. M. Manuel still continues highly popular in
' Paris. On Monday, the natives of the South of France
assembled in great numbers. They proceeded as a depu-
tation to their illustrious compatriot, and to express to
him the sentiments of the high esteem which they en-
tertain of his patriotism, his courage, and his talents.
Intelligence from St. Sebastian, dated the 211 Or
announces the arrival in that district of General Bal.
lasteros. The Quotidiemee now says that the hostilities
will not commence till the 10th inst., so that the statr
meat that the French army would cross the Pyrenees ou
the Ist, seems to have been cofounded.

Accounts from Stockhohn, of the 18th ult. state, that
Frykstrdt is set at liberty again ; a person of the name of
Scl►agerherg is, however, arrested on account of expres-
tians which he has used respecting several persons i►►
public offices in different publications. In the sitting of
the Chamber of Peasants, a member proposed a motion to
reduce the whole army. He would have the army consist
entirely of conscripts, who should serve from the age or
20 to that of 40, instead of from 20 to 25 as hitherto
This motion was so ill received by the Peasants,
that the question was even put and carried to a divi•
sion, whether the mover should not be put upon his
trial. The address presented to the King by the Did
in reference to the forged orders lately sent to the Gover-
nors of several towns, is expressed in very strong terms,
and urges his Majesty to order every exertion to be
made to discover the authors of the crime.
An article, dated Dresden, March 28, announces a
rumour that the beautiful estate of Morcolini, near Has-
terwitz, is purchased for the King of Naples, and that
the Sovereign will chase Dresden for his future residence.

STOCK EXCHANOt, NALIP•PAST 12 o'cLocx.--The re-
ports which were in circulation yesterday, concerning
Spain and France, not being credited in the City, have
occasioned a depression in the Funds this morning.—
Console opened at 74i. and at present they are 7411, with
a heavy market. Some great sales base been made this
morning, by some eminent Brokers. It is resorted that
an Express of Thursday has arrived from Paris. which
has been the cause of the above sales. We do not as yet
hear the price of the French Funds. Another report I%
that the new Levy of 1823, of fifty-thousand men,
has begun to be pot in force. Despatches were received
yesterday by Government from Madrid, bait the contents
have not transpired. Spanish Bonds, which opened this
morning at 3011, have fallen to 29/.

New York Papets have arrived this morning, to the
11th March, from which we extract the following :
Maxtco.—ln a file of Havana papers, we find letters
had been received from Tampico to the 6th Feb. In
consequence of Ethavani and Santa Anna having united
their forces, Iturbide who had gone down again to Ja-
lapa, fled precipitately to Mexico with an escort of only
20 men. He then issued a decree, commanding under
pain of death, that all those who held the property of
subjects of the Spanish Government, should immediately
deliver it up. Guadalupe Retoria had gone into the inte-
rior with forces, and at Tampico, and other places on
the Coast, to the north, they had declared against Itur-
bide. Such families that bad fled to the Castle of St.
Joan de Ulloa, for fear of an invasion of Vera Cruz, bad
returned in full confidence. A provisional regency had
been established in Jalapa, whose government was re-
cognized by the Republicans, until the Congress should
be re-established in Mexico.
ADMIRAL Owe 's SQUADRON.—The Selina, from Do-
minica, brings accounts of its arrival at Bizbadoes on
the sth of February from England. The object of the
I arrival of this squadron was not known, but there had
been considerable manoeuvring with them, and no little
'reconnoitering by the Eden.

"The Marquis de Latour Madhouro, Ambassador of.
Preece, left Constantinople on the 20th February. Some i
claims *filch remained unanswered, nut allowing of bisi
having an audience of reception of the Grand &drew.
he set off without taking leave ; but on the day follow.
ing that on ss hich he departed, the Count de Beanrepaise
whom the Marquis left as Charge d'Affaires, was receiv-
ed by the Grand Vizier and the other Ministers of the
Porte."
Gibraltar Papers to the 11th ult. have arrived, from
which we make the following extract:—
" A Spanish squadron, consisting of the 64-inn ship
Asia, Casuda frigate, a corvette, and the Aquilis brig of i
war. is to cruize in the Mediterranean, under the coin-1
mend of Rear-Admiral Vacsro.
" The Municipality of Barcelona have settled the du-
ties to be paid on the importations in foreign vessels;
they are to be higher by one-fourth than those laid on
the same articles when imported in national bottoms."
BRIGHTON, APRIL 2.—lt is with much concern we
state, that his Majesty experienced a fresh attack of gout,
in his foot last night, which, however, was as slight as
sudden ; and, we have the happiness to add, that has Ma-
jesty was pronounced much better this morning. At
this time, half-past nine o'clock, p. en. the physician's'
report is equally favourable. A Council would- have been
held at the Palace to-day, but for the aline event : its
delay is not expected to exceed a day or to o.
Armi 1.3.-1 he slight but sudden re-visitation of gout
in his Majesty we innitioned yesterday. It is with ex-
treme satisfaction we this day add, that the premising
symptoms of yesterday were not fallacious. The grati-
fying report to empiirers at the Palace this morning has
been--" His Majesty Las had a good night, and is much
better to-day."
The unhappy maniac we noticed some little time since,
has been con tttt itt.d, in default of li sil, until he shall be
land suitably provided for by his ftiends.
The apartments in Windsor Palace are quite ready to
receive his Majesty, whose intention is occasionally
to sojourn thither when be returns to town. A gentle-
man who the other day, confesses himself extremely die-1
appointed in many respects at their want of capacity and
convenience, notwithstanding the magnificent exterior
of this stately meek. When palaces like Windsor were
built, the comforts suit conveniences almost necessary
to existence in our days were unknown.
Daring the ensuing spring and summer season, when
the weather hies-,pens to be favourable, should his Majesty
resolve to discontinue his little sea voyages, the cottage
in Windsor Great Park will be resorted to by way oil
change of scene, from the bustle of London, and the eitai
cumscribed character of the apartments appropriated to
his Majesty in the palace at Windsor.
The ChiefJusticeship of Ely is vacant by the death of
Edward Christian, Esq.
Sir Hay Campbell, Bart. of Succoth, late President of
the Court of Session, died at Garscube, on Friday last,
the 28th ult.
According to a Parliamentary paper, the expense of
the Custm-house establishment in Scotland is 122,482/.
It wasp stated, in a late paper, that a naval officer,
whose death was then announced, was the last of the
companions of Captain Cook, in his voyages round the
world. One of the companions of his second voyage is
still alive, and doomed to end his life in the workhouse
of St. Cuthbert. He afterwards fought in America, and
was seven years under the immortal Abercromby, when
he commanded a battalion, composed of the light compa-
nies of the army. which was continually exposed. This
I poor man has no pension, although he had attained the
rank of serjeant in the army.—(Edintergh Sear.)
About eleven o'clock on Wednesday evening, the
I watchman in BeWs-wynd being alarmed by cries pro-
Iceeding from a public house, near the middle of that
lane, immediately procured assistance, and sent into
the house, where five desperate characters were found.
On searching the house, a watch was found in a barrel
among herrings, and a chain and seals in another part
of the house. Tire officers of police then prepared to
take the whole into custody, when a fellow of the name
of Ol‘Callutu took up a table knife, and with the most
dreadful imprecations, made a thrust at one of the watch-
men—the diabolical attempt was only frustrated by an
officer breaking the knife by a stroke of hie baton. The
whole party was secured, and brought to the watch-
house. On Thursdar. 111‘Callorn was sentenced to 60
days confinement in Brideoell--one of his companions
to 311, for returning from banishment—two were dismiss-
ed, and one detained till the watch could be accounted
for.—(l/sid.)
Mrs 111‘Kinnon, it is sail, received the fatal answer
to her petition with mach greater firmness-and compo-,
sore than was looked for, and bas since appeared more
resigned to her fate.—(lbid)
he price of oatmeal fell one penny per peck in
our market last week, and at Dalkeith market on Mon-
day. Is. per boll. The prices of grain on Thursday, at
Dalkeith, fell generally 2a. per bull—{/bid.)
MARRIAGE IN HIGH Ltea.--On Wednesday was mar-
ried at St. George's Church, Hanover-square, Lord Petre,
to Miss Howard, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Howard, of
Lower Grosvenor-street.
It twerps generally believed that Mr. Hughes Ball is
married to blercandotii, and that they have been enjoy-
ing the honeymoon, at a comfortable but sequestered seat
belonging to the Noble Thane of the North, whom re-
port stetes to have contributed a marriage portion, coin-
mensurate with the esteem in which he held this favou-
rite sylph, his protegee, if nut relative.
The works carrying on at Sheerness have not, latterly,
been sufficient for the constant employment of all the
prisoners belonging to both ships stationed there t but
as an early embarkation of convicts fur New South lVales
will take place at that port, the remaining number will
in all probability,be about adequiee to the future demand
for convicts' labour.

last night a serious and alarming fire broke out at the

end which in less thLn half an hour completely destrcyejl
his house and valuable stock in trade. The front of the house
fell outwards into the street, while some of the wat thir.n
and others near at hand were standing in the front of the
house ; but they very fortunately escaped, with the sx:ep7
tion of a few receiving acme contusions. Although re
never saw the fire-engines and their attendants, aided f.y a
plentiful supp y of water, more prompt at their posts, sails
was the rapidity of the dames, that in addition to Mr.
Meednes house being entirely consumed, the devouring .
element extended to the house of Mr. Howard, the pastry. ,
cook, and that of Mr. Walker's. the stationer, both of which
were materially damaged, and fears were enttrtelasd of
their eventually falling in. Tue property of Messrs. tVa'ker
and Howard was partly removed to adjoining Wince-, hut
we fear the fire was so rapilthat much of their furniture and
valuable stock in trade could not be saved. A tams posse
of Police officers and parish constables, aided by wattr.uteat,
were on the spot, in order, if possible, to prevent the depret-
da:ions so frequently committed on PRIER awful crcourrennes,
