FROM Observation-Disclosures Days Later.
By the ship Richmond, Captain Crabtree, ar
rived in Hampton Roads from Liverpool, in
81 days passage, Mr. Lyford has received Ii
verpool papers to the 18th of January.
The most prominent item of intelligence by
this arrival is the DEATH OF THE DUKE
OF YORK, who paid the debt of nature on Fri
day evening the 5th of January, at 90 minutes
past g, at the house of the Duke of Rutland,
aged g.. His remains were to be inferred in
the royal mausoIem at Windsor, on the goth of
January, and preparations were making to pay
the utmost possible respect to them. The pa
pers are lavish in their eulogiums on the cha
racter of the Duke, without, however, overlook
ing the dark side of it. In one Of them is a
memoir of the deceased, extracted from the
Edinburgh Weekly Journal, evidently written
| by Sir WALTER ScorT, in which the writer's
penchant for royalty rather got the better OF the
| reproving spirit of the moralist 1t is, how
ever, much less tinctured with Partially than
it would probably have been if written by any
other individual equally strong in his attach
ment to tory principles. One cannot but smile

the Duke of York was sincere on coupling it
with the lamentable Acknowledgements which
shortly follow, of his unconquerable passion for
the turf, for deep play, and for Mrs. Clarke!
Lord Wellington, it was understood, would
succeed the Duke of York as Commander-in
Chief Of the Army.

The following is extracted from the London
Times" There is al length good ground for
congratulating Europe on the adoption OF IL
nal and decisive measure on behalf OF Greece

France and Russia. The Cabinets Of London
and ST. Petersburgb had, some time ago, trans

iect. The Court of the Tuilerics has acCsded
TO the policy of its allies within the last fort
night, and resistance by Turkey to their joint
demands is wholly out Of The question. The

full recognition by the Porte Of the absolute
and entire independence OF the Greek nation,

OF the affairs in the Peninsula, the following
extracts furnish the latest intelligence:
London, Jan l5.-People in the City look
with much anxiety to the movements Of the
Spanish army towards Portugal, and infer from
the fact of Ferdinand having suddenly recciv-
ed the means of equipping it, that there is
some powerful supporter behind The curtain.
The relations with America, too, are objects
of soicitude; and the orders understood 10 have
been given TO dispatch FIVE sail Of the line and
three frigates 10 the West Indies, have added
10 rather than decreased this feeling.

public are in possession OF some further pacihc

rash enough to oppose the united wishes OF
France and England; and that, therefore, eve-
