thou tube shaken at Madrid esa ieslandporitlt
nehiutereat. to think so too. Sllfirave alwito
'saicrio from the beginning. Wa save said that if
were ministers of Prance, •we would utidertalso *4
iltiShnd a lotig war, too, to keep Spain as much in
subjection to France as she formerly was.--W.e,
as Englishmen, „wish to separate Spain from
Prance, to be sure. We wish the Bourbons at
the Devil, 'and wish to me France feeble-
and
nahle.to annoy us; but we cannot be so bfflsotted
to blame and abuse the Bourbons because they du not
wish themselves at the Devil ; nor will we /Aube and
abuse the French, .because they do not wish to be a
poor feeble nation, and because they not appear to for-
get the rifling of. the Museums, the shooting of :liar-
liarNey, and the " hereditary cancer" of Napoleon.
Infinite pains is taking by the trading press of London
to make this deluded nation believe that the French
people are hostile to this war. They never give us
any proof of it.; and we believe the fact to be wholly
false. In short, we know it to be false ; and, if they
were disposed to be hostile to the war, the speeches of
last Tuesday night, and the clamor that has since been
made by this trading presss ; that is to say, if they
could reach their cars, would have a strong ten-
dency to do away their hostility.—Those speeches
and this clamour are subjects of ridicule in
Paris at this moment. The railings of the stupid
Old Times will be drawn out into epigrams be-
foie to-morrow night ; and, in short, a more complete
triumph it is impossible for a nation to have than the
French will now have over these speech-makers and
clamorers.—The following words from the Morning
Chr,niele of this morning, savours more of insanity
than any thing that we have seen even in that paper
since the commencement of the discussion relative to
this war. The words are these: "if the French
government and the French nation felt in the same
mannar (that is, the same manner as the English do)
" their pride might take the alarm at the severe moral-
" lessen read to them on Tuesday evening" ! Shock-
ing
folly! We tell the Chronicle that the French
will turn the whole thing into epigrams and Loa
mot:. They will retort the severe moral lesson read
to them upon Mr. BROUGHAM. There is no part
of his moral lesson that they will not read
back to him ; and, in short, we have
been given to understand that the King of France
himself me ins to write a letter to -Ur. Brougham
next week in thesame manner that the imp Bohemia
wrote a letter to Mr. Canning.---The Morning. Chto-
nick brings a heavy charge against niinisteril
papers fur their conduct during this discussion about
war or peace. It says, we have no hesitation to say,
that, if Europe should be involved in war, the minis-
terial press of this country will have been, in a great
measure, the cause of the calamity.—Calemity.' why, do
not you tell ns that the war will over-set the Bour-
bons
; and do you not also tell us that you want to
see the Bourbons over-set ; and, still, do you call it a
calamity ? Now, we tell you that we wtsh Vie war' to
,take place; because we think that the war must, in one
way or another, give a blow to Garton and Old
Sarum; and that we do not care in what way the blow .
.is given, so that it be given. We think that it will
have a tendency to blow up the nefarious system that
has taken the beer-barrel out of the house of the labour-
ing man, and that the County of Middlesex so justly
reprobate in its excellent petition. But, as to the Mi-
nisterial news-papers. their conduct, as to this question
has, as far as it has gone, been deserving of unqualified
praise. If those papers had been listened to instead of
you, those numerous families would not have been
ruined by Spanish Bonds who have been ruined. Those
papers are, doubtless, the mere tools of the others ; and
it is impossible to say that the Ministers did not do
every thing that they could do to caution the specula-
tors against this ruin which has now fallen upon them.
They could not tell the people in so many words,
" There will be War ;" but the constant
tone of their papers was, (when thaw papers spoke at
all upon the subject) that war would be the en-I.
Then, as to saying that these papers encouraged the
French Government to proceed. Is it nut next to
impossible that they should have any influence at all
upon the French Government? It may be very well
for a Paris gossip: for a chuckling, chattering, dog-at-
a-fair fellow, constantly jigging himself back ward and
forward between Paris and London in the summer,
and as constantly plying between Brookes's and the
House in the winter ; it may be very well for a man
like this, who traces the great measures of great em-
pires to the Parilliun Marsen, and who thinks him-
self a Statesman because he knows the secrets of two
or. three insignificant cabals may be very well for
such a man as this to talk about the French unlit—.
being put in motion by paragraphs in the Cou-
rier and the New T;mer ; but for any other hu-
man being to entertain such an idea was nut
to be expected. One word to the holders of
Spanish bonds. Let them be convinced that the
" severe moral lesson of Tuesday," will not retard the
march of one single French foot soldier's trail fur one
single moment. She had all her duds packed up yes-
terday, and off she goes to-day, just the same us if Mr.
Brougham had had the prudence to hold his tongue,
and could have resisted the temptation of getting a full
three flays of bellowing new-paper praise. Let the
holders of Spanish bonds know and let them act
accordingly. To lose what they have lust is quite suf-
ficient. It is contrary to common sense to believe
that the French will not cross the Pyrenees; and, if
they do that, the Spanish bond. are nut worth a single
sixpence for a hundred pounds.

STOCK E\ol Nag, HALF Pair T WEISZ O'CLOCK.
Consols opened this morning at 751 in consequence of
the cap • from Paris, bringing the French funds
considerably higher—S.2 75. It is strongly reported
that there will be soon a funding of Exchange hills in
the new 4 per cents. This seems the more probable, as
the new 4 per cents. are full one and a half per tent
higher than they ought to be, as t•outpared wish the old
4 per cents.; and Exchequer bills are nearly twenty
shillings per cent. premium. The cause of the rise of the
French funds is r.ut as yes. ascertained.

la the Chamber of Peers on Monday hat, an address
Was proposed, echoing the sentiments of the Royal
.Speech, and breathing the sante spirit of hostility to
.11te peace. of Europe and the independence of Spain,—
' Some Peers, however, had the courage and patriotism to
expose the iniquity of the proposed war, and the perils
with which it would be attended, and moved an amend-
ment corresponding to these views. Their opptivition
had the effect of making Messrs. de Villele and Chi_
teruhriand throw off the moderation they had hitherto
assumed, and to -declare "that France would act as
France ought to. act; and that she would not lay down
her arms till order was reatored in Spain." The tria-
jority, however, by which the amendment was rejoetrij
did not exceed 37.; the number for •tlic Address hem/1z
190, and for the amendment 53. 'The naval preparations
in France, it appears, are keeping pace with the mili-
tary exertions. It is boastfully asserted that one ship cf
80 guns, two of 74, another of the line cut down,
and three bigates with several corvettes are • lying
at Brest ready far sea. This, from the levies of sailors

French Ambassador is stated to have left Madrid on
the 29:h ult. and the Duke of San Lorene.) has received
orders to quit Paris immediately. Up to the flue of
these Papers the Ultra Journals were anticipating the,
concurrence of the British Goverutuent their
hostile views towards Spain. The Speech of the King
to Parliament, and the sentiments of his Ministers
expressed there, will occasion tlretu no agreeable
surprise.

INTERESTING FROM Ilsvaxsa.--By the packet

(EKTRACT OP A LETTER, DEC. 15.)
About a week ago, the citizens of this place were
quite in alarm, occasioned by the elections. You
must know, that there is a great party spirit rag:rig
here; the Natives on the one side and the Europeans on
the other. Every thing is now quiet, many are afraid'
that serious results will follow. Err this, may reach
you, various accounts of the late occurrences in this
city must have come to your knowledge. However,
for your own satisfaction, I will give you a brief ab-
stract of what has happened. There being two poli-
tical parties in this city, the election for Doputies
to the Cortes and to this Provincial Deputation, brought
them in comas %ids each other at the places of eke_
tion in the different parishes. The natives were every
where victotions„ both on account of their numbers
and the accession of many Europeans, wbo sided
with them, particularly so because two regiments,
mostly Europeans, voted for them.—The op-
posite party, piqued at their • defeat, spread.
the rumour among Europeans that the natives were
going to massacre them and proclaim their indcpend-
, enre. Both terror and indignation petraded th
r minds of the ignorant class of the Europeans, and they
being almost all of them enlisted in the Militia,crqwd-
ed to their military posts, and is less data i hours
about 3000 men were fully equipped and nosier saner
raving for vengeance. On the night of the 6th of
this month, a list was presented to the Governor,
containing forty-six names of the pertona,said to have
caused the riot by seditious cries, and kinsniting the
Militia, and a prompt and severe punishment was de-
' nsanded. Br this time the natives had begun to lo.As
for themselves and to provide means of support fur
the Government, who were abandoned by that-A:Mary
forre. On the evening of the 6th, peace and orsicr
; were again re-..tablislied.

DELAT OF TUE INLAND MAILS.—.The arrival of
the northern mails is still impeded by the tate of the
ruads,K•hich are rendered nearly impassable by the fall of
snow on the 2dinst. The following notiee recpeetin
these mails was this day exhibited at the general Post
Office

POKT-OFPICK, I O'CLOCK, PIM %, 1823.

No Mails have arrived from the North of Newcas-
tle. Every exertion.; is making to obtain them. The
Mail from tilasgow could nut reach Carlile in time on
the 3rd and 4th instant, and the Mails from Carlisle
10.. t 24 hours on Stainmore.
The following are due this day:—Edinburgh road

Letters from list gnash to the 25th of December hart
been recall el. They dr not confirm the statements made
in previous letters of the existence of • strong revolutiou-
ary spirit in the island. Home popular tumults had attelitt•
ed the elections of deputies for the Spanish Cones ; bet the
returns had been made in the regular manner, and the cret•
vescence had completely subsided.

A report prevailed yesterday evening that the King's
health was considerably worse: we are happy to state
that the report is untrue. A gentleman who left Brigh-
ton yesterday afternoon, and who bad weans of know-
nit, assures us that his Majesty's general health is good ;
but that he is suffering severely from gout in the libees
and ancles.—Morming paper.

COURT OF KING'S •BENCH, DUBLIN, Bn.

IIIOT f!(pcomsrulmci.

Yeeterdair the Mel of the six traverse's. againil
whom ez qicio inTormations had bees tiled in the above
Court, was resumed, before the Chief Justice and a full
Court.

From the proper arrangements having been made at
an early hoer in the morning, and an efficient police
guard being placed at the doors of the Court, accommo-
dation was secured for those whose business led theffi
there. the result of these arrangements was, the quiet
and good order which prevailed during the entire day,
(although the Court was excessively crowded, and the
heat moat oppressive,) and which presented a gratifying
con to the disorder and confusion which occurred
on Monday. The Court sat at nine o'clock. The first
witness examined yesterday, was Mr. John Atkinson,
brother to Mr. George Atkinson, who had been ex-
amined on Monday. This witness was examined on the
part of the Crown by the Solicitor General ; be was
cross examined at much length by Messrs. Hollestone,
Salve°, Spear, and North.
The following witnesses were then successively ex-
. John Lambert, John Rooney, Charles
O'Flaberty, Giles O'Brien, John Emulation, Christopher
Moran, Michael Farrell, and Victor M‘Namara.
All the trave rrrrr were in Court tie entire day.
. The Court adjourned at five o'clock to nine this
morning.
[Coroissnation oldie proeeedinp of Monday]
EXAMINATION or WITNI6BIII.-1 he first witnesscalled
was, Richard Lowther, box keeper to the Theatre Royal,
who deposed to the purchase of several pit tickets of ad-
mission to the Theatre for the evening upon which it was
published that his Excellency was to honour it with his
presence. The tickets were purihased by the !reversers
I?orbes and Wm. Graham, and another permit).
George Atkinson, examined by the Attorney-General.
Knows of the endeavours made to produce disturbance in
the theatre. They were planned in the Orange Lodge,
No. 1612. Forbes belongs to the lodge No. 1660,
and Win. Graham to the same; cannot tell the
number of the lodge to which George Graham belongs ;
the two Handwitchesbelong to the lodge 780, and Brown-
low to No. 1612. An assembly was held on the Friday
evening before Lord Wellesley went to the theatre
at the public' house, in Wertourgh Street, belong-
ing to Peter Daly, Lodge No. 1612 met there, it is
a purple lodge, which is the next higher lodge above
an orange lodge, and it is required that the
member should be eight months an oranghman before
be Mid be admitted. There was about twenty people
there, witness is a member ; some were members and
some visitors, Forbes was there. Robert Fletcher,
the master of the Lodge, stood up, and proposed a
subscription should be raised for defraying the expense
of men going to the Theatre who could not afford to
Pay for themselves. The pus pose he mentioned was,
that they should hiss and groan at his Excellency, and
also at the Lord Mayor ; they did not like Lord Welles-
ley. and it was on that account that they intended to
try,if possible, to force him to leave the theatre. It
was understood by us all what was the purpose for send-
ing the men there ; heard front the persons there that
there bad been a prior meeting at the Shakespeare Ta-
vern. It was there mentioned, that if they could force
his Excellency to leave the Theatre, it would stamp
oo the minds of the Ministers on the other side the un.
popularity of his Excellency's Government; the per-
sons for whom the tic krts were purchased were to be
sent to the upper Gallery, becanse it was considered that
the members of the Lodge 1612 would be enough for
the Pit, to which they were appointed; that the members
of that Lodge should attend early, and when the doors
would be open, they should fermi into the pit, sod get
on the left side, near the box of the Lord
Lieutenant, fed the same purpose as they sent
the other men to the upper gallery. Brownlow, the
Traverser, is member of Lodge 1612, and while they
were speaking of the matter, after the play, he said be
was in the pit, with numbers of the Lodge 1612; that
there were nutukerx of them there, but not altogether

" The complexion is certainly warlike, but it is eel-

A letter from the Cape of Good Hope. dated Nov.
2b, contains the following infarmation :
" You will, I am sure, be sorry to learn the dreadful
affair which has happened to Mr. Pedder's Fishery, at
St. Helena Hay; another fire has taken place since the
one that deatruyed his dwelling house. The latter has
consumed nearly the whole of his property; and, horrid
to relate, hie poor little son William, fell a sacrifice. It
was set on fire, it appears, by one of the Prize Negroes,
who is now in prison. and will be brought to trial in a
few days.
REPREIINTATION OP LI VARPOOL IN PARLIAMENT.—
The Liverpool Courier of Wednesday last, contains as
account of the proceedings that have taken place is
that Borough in consequence of the resignation of Mr.
Canning as its Representative.—A meeting of his friends
was held on Friday for the purpose of expressing their
regret at the necessity of his resignation, and voting
him their thanks. At another meeting, the same day,
Mr. Huskisson was invited to offer himself as candidate
at the approaching election ; and on Monday, Mr. fins-
kisson transmitted his reply. In his answer, Mr. It
expresses his reluctance to withdraw himself from that
political connexion to which he ,liad, fur the last ten
years, been indebted for his seat in Parliament ; but,
•• feeling as a public man that it became something
ke a ditty not, to refuse such an invitation as be had
received from Liverpool, he does Sot sleek from a trust
of so much public importance." There is, however, one
objection whichhe thinks himself bound to submit tothose
who have invited him. "it has," says be, "been
s .ggested to me, that, in the situation to which his
M ijesty has been pleased to appoint me—that of Presi-
de it of the Committee of Privy Council for the' Affairs
of Trade—l may have to deal with cases, in which ,s
c inflict may arise between the commercial interests
of Liverpool and those of other parts of his Majesty's
dominions. The objection is one, Gentlemen, which
it behoves you to weigh before it be too late ; because,
if I know my own mind at all, I feel assured that the
risk, un every such occasion, would be that which
your interests might perhaps incur, from an over-
anxiety to guard myself against even the auspiciou of
any improper bias in your favour. If, therefore, you
think this suggestion entitled to any weight, I entreat
you to re-consider your invitation, and to transter.is
to some one, with better claims to your confidence, to
whom the objection cannot apply."
CovitsmOaents: Tnacrea.-- The Opera of Love is
e Villaige was performed last night for the purpose of
introducing a new singer in the part of Young
Meadows, and Miss Pa Tom io 'that of Rosetta. The
name of the Gentleman is Lanais, and he is said to
be from Liverpool. His voice is a rich tenor, of consi-
derable corupees in its natant tones, and unusually high
in the falsetto.. To great flexibility it adds a general
Illness and purity of intonation. It is, in short, a voice of
rare quality; bat, as it appeared last night, deficient is
Dower, the sitt,:er teas evidently anxious and embarrass-
- el, and it is at least possible that his efforts were some-
what paralyzed on that account. Uwe hereafter find him
display sufficient volume to reach through the space of
the'rtieatre, be will undoubtedly stand high on the list
.of public singers. His style is not yet formed ; or if
tie bad formed one, it has no doubt been wisely laid aside
now that he is in a new school. His singing last night
was 'narked by a simplicity which is at all times desira-
ble where ornament cannot be guided by pure taste and
competent scientific knowledge. lie was encored in
several of his songs. Ilia acting throughout the part
was very respectable, and he was much applauded. piss
PATON made an excellent Rosetta. Her exertions were
greatly applauded. and often encored universally.
}tests played Hodge for tits first time not unsuccess-
fully, but it is a part out of his best line. The other
characters were supported as tonal, and with the usual
excellence of their supporters.

..
in the spot appointed for them. Those untiier, of
the Lower Lodges who could not afford to buy tickets
for themselves, were to be seat to the upper gallery
Neither of the Haudwitches were at the Lodge that
night. The party subscribed about one pound; two
pounds were brought them by John Atkinson, the bro-
ther of witness, to be applied to the same purpose; it
was all handed to John to purchase pit ticket., in order
to admit persons to the upper gallery, as every pit
ticket would admit three persons there. Witness went
with his brother John, on thatodav to where W. Hand-
witch works ; saw him there ; John told him to send H.
Handwitch to Ship-street, where the other Change
Lodge was held, that evening, and also to bring as many
as be could get of the poorer classes of Orangemen,
who could not provide tickets, to the sign of the Black
Bell in tbit street. At four or five in the afternoon, saw
Forbes, a person named 111.Culloch, witness's brother
John, Henry Handwitcb, George Graham. and several
others, at that house in Ship-street; one pit ticket was
given to every three, to give to the poorer class to ad-
mit them to the upper gallery; from twenty to thirty
tickets were given, which would admit from sixty to
ninety persons. There were about thirty persons
present at the time. All that were at Ship-street
went to the Theatre that night; there were full
as many in the Theatre as bad left the Lodge ; they
bad sticks with them. 1t was then mentioned, that
after the tune of " God save the King" should be played.
they should insist on the " Boyne Water," being played
by the musicians, and that it they would not play it,
they were not to let the play go on for the remainder of
the evening, until it should be played. This was to be
effected by their making as much noise as they sould.—
Witness certainly commenced taking some steps to pre-
vent this, Ile was cautioned that these proceedings
might be unsafe, and was afraid that their passion
would carry them to acts of violence. On Saturday
morning went to the Park to inform the Lord Lieute-
nant of the facts, but did not give the information to
his Excellency, as the sentinel at the Lodge gate stopped
him as he was going up there, and he had not any op-
portunity of making the communication, and thru gave
up the intention of making the communication ; did
not tell the sentinel what his bu dress was. It was
arranged on Saturday evening, that they might know
one another by the words " look out," which were to be
used as the watch-word of the night. The men had
got some spirits and porter to drink : there was some
spirits left and they brought it with them in a vial or
large bottle, such as is made for a quart bottle. When
liandwitch was going away,he said to the men that were
going to the Theatre " boys be wicked." Witness saw
that party afterwards in the upper gallery, on the oppo-
site side to Lord Wellesley; witness assisted in placing
them in the gallery, along nit!' Forbes, 31'Culloch,
John Atkinson, and Henry Handwitch ; witness left
them in about twenty minutes, and saw them after
towards the centre of the gallery; saw Forbes in the
house that night in the upper tier of boxes, he had a
small whistle in his hand and whistled with it—he was
within half a yard of the gallery, and %as speak-
ing to some of the party in the gallery. This
was after the first part of the riot. Saw hand-bills
going about in different parts of the house—they were
tinted. Saw them before in manuscript with M'Cul.
Poch (they are produced and identified); saw Al•Culloch
dispersing them through the house, from the part of the
house immediately over the Lord Lieutenant's bus, and
. one of them fell on his cushion. Knows a person named
Kelly;I did oat see him at the Theatre that night, but
