IATE PROM ENGLAND.

don papers to the 9TH of February have
been received.
The British Parliament assembled on the
8th, and the great topic Of interest, was the
corn laws. The Ministers have announced
that the subject be brought forward the
10Th of February.
Three transports, which arrived at Forts
mouth to take on board additional troops
for Portugal, had been ordered to leave that
port, to which it is. inferred that no more
troops are to be sent out.
On the LIST the Lord Chancellor gave
Judgment in the important case OF MT
Long Wellesley, who demanded the custo-
DIV of his children, girl and two boys,
their mother, in whose care they renamed
by the terms of voluntary separation pc
tween her and her husband, being dead
the relations of the mother resisted the de-
mand, on the ground of the immoral and
Iprofligate character of the father. Inc
Lord Chancellor sustained the objection,
and ordered that some other suitable per
son should be appointed guardian OF the
children. He concluded his judgment,
which occupied four hours in delivering,
by declaring that she would not be the
man to hazard the principles of these chll-
would be hazarded, by committing them to
the care of their parent"
The Portuguese instruction appears to
be at end. The Marquis de Chaves had
been completely defeated, and obliged to
retreat within the Spanish territories. His
baggage had arrived at Madrid. The ac
ton took place at Coruches. The insur-
gents to the number of 1l,000 took to
| flight, and having reached Almedia, where
they heard of the amnesty offered by the
regent, great part of them went over to
the government party. The British gov
eminent had suspended the embarcation of
troops for Portugal.
| FRop GREECE. A letter from the cor
respondent of the Morning Herald, con-
tains the latest intelligence from Greece.
In addition to this article, the Herald con-
tains two other letters, of great length,
giving very interesting account OF mu-
tiny which took place at Hydra, from the
LIST to the 9th of December. 1t appears
that after the Turkish fleet had returned
within the Dardanelles to winter, the three
Greek fleets, 1.-THE Hydriot, Speziot, and lp-
sariot, returned to their respective harbors.
The sailors of the Hydriot feet had been
paid on entering the service for the season,
but having spent all their money, upon
which their families relied for subsistence,
on their return they became riotous. Their
| first demand was for five vessels to use in a
piratical expedition. This proposition was
peremptorily refused by the Primates, and
they managed in the following night to
send all the vessels off to Poros, but two.
Enraged at this disappointment the sailors
took the Primates prisoners, guarded them
in the house of Conduriotti, and decreed to
behead them all on the following day in the
market place unless they paid them the
sum of 100000 piastres. In this situa-
finn the Primatea cpntriyed to send mtQL=
frigate Talbot, then in the neighborhood
of the island, in the hope that he could de-
wise some means for their relief Capt. S.
landed, and various Intellectual attempts
were made to hush the mutiny. The next
step was to devise ways and means for the
Primates, and old Admiral Miaulis to es-
cape, during the darkness of the succeed
ing night. But all their plans were avert
ed by the watchfulness of the Hydriots,
Excepting so far as related to Miaulis and
two of the Primates. A compromise was
at last effected on the succeeding day, by
Conduriotti, who, for his own portion, paid
100000 piastres, the other primates paying
what they could, and the sailors levying a
contribution of so per cent. upon the shop
keepers of Hydra.
FRANCE. Letters received at Madrid
on the 22d of January from Cadiz, states
that the French are about to evacuate that
place, and that the national guards has al
ready received orders to hold themselves
in readiness to perform part of the duty
there.-This news is looked upon as pre-
mature, but by no means as false; and
moreover, it is certain that three regiments
of militia and a regiment of infantry of
Lusitania have orders to set out for the en-
virons of Cadiz.
| PARIS, JAN. 10. A friend of mine OBJ
served that he had never read an act of
Parliament that he could not drive coach
and four through; and it is the case with
every penal statute no human foresight
can anticipate all the arts of evasion. Of
this we have abundant proof in France
Government will not grant the privilege for
any new political journals. Accordingly,
defunct journals have been hunted up. The
.4rlstdrque, liberal paper, had been dead
eight or ten years. Messrs. Labourdonnaye
d Co. got hold of the proprietors, and gave
them good round sum for their title, and
published an ultra-loyalist journal under it.
Another journal, entitled La France Chret-
ienne; Journal Religieur, PoIitique, ct Lit
terGire, soon went to the tomb of all the
Capulets. New spectators purchased the
title, and commenced under it journal
which is neither Christian nor Religious,
and those two words are printed in very
small Gothic characters, which are almost
| illegible; so that the title seems to run, La
France, Journal Politique ct Litteraire.
SPAIN AND PORTUGAL. News from
Lisbon to the Goth of January, and from
Madrid to the 22d, confirms the account of
the complete defeat of the Marquis de
Chaves, and his entry into the Spanish ter
