In the afternoon his Mlajesty transacted business with the Mlinis- ter of Foreign Affairs, with the Alinister of Mlarine, and Count Villele. The day before yesterday, 1M. Brito, Chargc d'Affaires from Portugal, transmitted to Count Villele the Grand Ribandof the Order ot Christ, w hich kis iMajesty John VI. sent to his Excel. lenc.v. His Excellency, Count Pozzo di Borgo, Ambassador from Rus- Sn, will give on iMlonday next a diplomatic dinner, when aU the Foreign Ambassadois will he invited. By a decision of his Excellency the Minister of WVar, the troops and detachments wlb4c' are on the road, going to their destinations, and are not arrived before the 21st of January, are to halt on the 20th, at night, and on the following day ; and it is expressly order_ ed to all corps and detachments, that on the 21st of January they shall be under arms, asd assist at the funeral ceremonv which is to takeplace on that day in the whole kingdonm. This day a list of the Electors of the College of the Departmient of the Seine was posted up at Paris. A detachment of Spanish prisoners arrived on the 11 th of Janu- aryat Bordeaux, as well as the ex-ilinister San Mliguel. It was reported in London th3t preparations were making at Lis. bon tor a grand expedition, destined to attack the Brazils, and that Count Palmella was to ao to Englanid. The information received from Lisbon, of the 30th, proves that all these reports have net the least foundation. In regard to the Portuguesearmament, thetma. rine of Portugal only consists of one ship of 80 guns, three frigates, four corvettes, and five sloops of war, and half of these can scarce keep the sea. Some transports are preparing at Lisbon. to convey troops to tile Cape de Vrerd islands, to prevent them from being taken by a copj) de maitr by Lord Cochrane.-Journal des Debts.

LONDON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 22, 1324. French mnorning and evening papers of Alonday arrived last night. Thc AMoniteuir of that day contains a copy of the conven- tion concluded between France and Spain, on the subject of the maritime prizes taken in 1823, and the manner in which French and Spanish owners are to be indemnified and reimbursed for ships and cargoes captured. By this convention it is agreed; that as the value of the prizes taken on each side was nearly equal, a total ac- quittance shal be given by the respective Powers, and each Govern. nment left to indemnify its own subjects.

King's Theatre.
The Times, 1824-01-23T00:00:00

The-Opera-house was opened yesterday evening for the inspe6tion of professional persons and friends to tbe establisItent, and a candle- light rehearsal took place of the Ballet and Divertisement. Comoared with its conditian last season, theinterior of-the-house.isgratlyJim- roved. It is entirely re-gilt and painted, the ound sea-green, re- tReved with salmon-colour, or whitish pink. Nlew diraperies have been added to the boxes, and freshi chandeliers-to the third and fourth drcles. There is a newv drop-curtain, more gorgeous than the oltl one; and the ordinary minor additions have beent made both upon the slage and in the aulience, part of the theatre. Of course, in loolking at Avhat has been done, we lay our account for its having becin done with a limitedl find. Considered as the f;rst theatre in London, the house would not bare much claim to commendation. Neatness, rather than splendour, has been affected in the alterations made; but the taste emploved bas not (as it seems to us) been ofthehighest order throughotlt. The finishing the line of boxes iith pillars or pilasters upon the stage, would have been at- tended with little expense, and would hare been atreat improvement upon tite tliing, as it stand- The Progsetli,ni, too, is scarcely or- namental enough te correspond with thefront of the tteatre- the cur- tains to the boxes are notof the happiest colourthatmiglithavebeen selected; anda fe w moreehandeliersaboutthe body oftbe house would do no mischief. As the dances were rehearsed without " dress," no proper judgment can be formed as to their eventual eftect. 'I'he tallet az naturel is always more or less ridiculouts. Paul c-arried away the applause of the evening, as regards the men. The ladies appear- edto.thegreater advantage. A woman, in her ordinary garb, is a graceful obiect, whether still or in motion; but ea gentleman looks very strangely who makes pironettes in a stiff cravat. The entertain. ments on the whole were,gone through smoothlv, which is quite as much as, at an undress performance, can be looked for; and so many admission tickets had been issued, that the house was well filled in all parts.

These resions, which in the ordinary course wouWl have taken place on the day next but one after the conclusion of the session at the Old Bailey, but had been postponed in consequence of the ill- ness of illr.

Sheriff LAUtlE. ABS.ENCE OF THE nECOTtDEn. It had been known on the over-niglht that the Rttendance of Ml\r. Recorder was not to be expected, the indisposition of the learned gentleman continuing to be so severe as to confine him to his bed anl as it was therefore nior expected that any business wetuld be pro- ceeded on in his absence, the bar presented a de!olate appearance. Mr. Alley beina the only couinsel in attendance. However imn- portant the attendance of the Recorder may appear to be, as far :aa respects thc necessitv of his assistance in a Ileal point of view to the Court, he is ouly one individual in the commission, and his presence, it seents is, not indispensable. and the Court, arc comnpetent to proceed without him. This is not tl2e case merely at a Gcneral or Quarter Sessions, but even at the Sessions of On er and Terininer at the Old Bailey. Thse Lord Mayor, even at these important sessions, is the head of the Court, and if a sufficient numnler of magistrates in the commisxion be present, thl Court is competent to proceed to the trial of prisoners, and is not bound to wait even for (he Judges. An instance of this occurrel once at tle Old Bailey. in the nmayoralty of Mr. Aldernian TownsCtid. By eome accident tiie Judges were delayed, and his Lordship having taken the chair, after observing that the Court were not bound to wait till the judges could make it convenient to attend, ordered a prisoner to be put to the bar. proceeded with the trial him. self, andl as in the act otsiu:mminguptheevidelnceto the jury when the learne'd Judges entered tle Court.

Thomton's allegation in this case, which was pronounced last term, an appeal was asserted. It was to-day announced that the appeal was wvithdrawn. Dr. BUR2NABY presumed it was unnecessary to trouble the Court with any comments on the evidence adduced in support of Colonel Thornton's will; and indeed no opposition was nowe offered. He sbould therefore pray the Court to decree its probate to it. The rouw Tsaid, it had perused the evidence of the witnesses who had been examined on the cortdidit propounding the will, the due execution of which was very fully proved by the attesting and other vitnesses; and therefore the Court pronounced for its validity and-effect, by decreeing probate a prayed.

[From the Alpertneiue ZVilU,mwr .Tnn. iAA.

This title, it is said, Austria will not recogni7e, as it calls to mind a victory obtained over its annS, and the conquest of a country whiich now makes a part of its dominions. The author of the article in the Courier Fran- raisc seems either not to know, or not to choose to know, that the French Go-veryntent itself, soon after the restoration in the year 1814, formally acceded in diplomatic document7 to the princinle, aRd repeatedly recognized it in subsequteit negotiations, that only thase titles which were attaclbed to a certain place, where the possessor of them had periobsned some diistinguished millitary exploit,should bere- tained,butitztalloMerA,h,wj,Jio,thal,,g s, 7arn origi,o appear- ed to indicate a rieht of pospession to lands, cities, or domtains, ndich are situated oZlt of tMe Fretch territor,, shall be abolished. If the Allied Powers have not hitherto more peremptorily insisted on the mutual carrying into effect ofthis principle,which, if we are not mis- taken, was expressed by the French Government so early as in illay, 1814, it can be attributed at the most, if we mav so express ourselves to a delicacv on their side carried to the highest degree; and the rench Government will cestainly be the less inclined to think, in contradiction with its own declarations, of maintaining titles, theabolition of which it has itself recognized as necessary, us none of the allied Sovereigns,in the course of those campaigns which twice brought about the overthrow of Napoleon, ever made use of the rightconfirmed by the publiclawofEnrope,and notdisputed byFrance itself, of conferring on any of its Generals a title ca)ling to mind a victory gained by them on Prench grosndz or,iu the same manner as there are now Princes of lWragram and the Noslkwa, or a Duke of Dantzic, of creating, for instance, DVkes or Princes of Paris, Lyons, La Rothere, &c.

| Sesterilay evening the anniversary festival of the electors of Ips- wich, resident in London, in the indepenldent interest, took place at the Paul's Head, Gateaton -street, Air. Haldhimand, Al.P. for the Borough, in the chair, supported by several eminent persons, and a very numerous bo ly of freemen. Suspended ovjer the chair was a arge banner, upon which was inscribed "The London Inflexibles." On the cloth being removed, and the usual loyal toasts dtrank, Mr. CRAW LEYproposed thehealth of the worthy Chairman, which was reccived with enthusiasm. A\r. IALDUNtAND returned tianks in a speech ol' considerable length, in which he expressod his gratification in again meeting so many of his constituents, and being received with such flattering testimonials oftheir approbation. The hon. ineuiber proceeded to take a review of the politics of Euirope; and in so doing, expressedl his con- viction, tron the cxperience he had lIad on the continent 0.iring u recent tour, that the infamiiolis and despotic intentions of the Holv Alliance would be frustrated. That liberty which Was so happily possessed b= the pcople of this country, tas cherished bv numbers on the connent, who, untbrtunately, were not blessed with the free constitution of England. The example, however, from his own personal knowledge, was not lost upon themn for he had heard, bothi in France and Switzerland, sentinmentt sinmilar to thiose Af the gen- tlemen he had the hon.mr of addressing. He was sorry that the Ad- ministration of this cointry liad, by weak measures, prevented Britain from tltwartinig, at the onset, tihe late ttiijustifiable proceed- iigS against the liberties of' states, adopted by the un-Holv Alli- ance. It was only by returning men of indepen(lent principles to Parliament, tha. this country might be again able to resume it- com- manding power. Ile hopetl, tierefore, that the electors of Ipswich wouild be anited, in case of atly attack bv their enemies. He (AMr. Haldimand) would not desert them to the lust shilling of his means: if he hati at any rtie voted against their interests or wishes, he wish- ed to be informed. He shiouild still pursue the same course as hi- therto, and in conclusion. entreating his brother freemen to be watch. flt, and thanking them forttheirkindness,would drink their healths.

Vaccination.
The Times, 1824-02-10T00:00:00

It appears from the Reports of the National Vaedne Board to the Right Hon. Robert Peel, that the applications for lvmph have been more than usually numerous-a proof that the confidence of the world in vaccination is inereasing, pMrticularrvlsince the Parliamen- tary establishment, where the inoculating matter is alwavs to be procured. Since the last report, 1 mnph had been despatched to the East and lV'est Indies, to Ceylon, to the Cape of Good Hope. the isinnd of Illaurimiut the coast of Africa, New South Wales, and to France and ftaly. &c. Th' Report then states, that it had beea distributed in this kingdom with great success, " for the small-pox has prevailetl as a- epioenic with more than ordinarv malignitv in various parts of this island lately, and h tis comnitted great ravages in those districts where it found victims inprotected against it by a inevious process. The advantages of vaceination in places subject to thnse severe visitations have been confessedly decisive and remark. able; those who had used this resource being observed to temain gew nerally unhurt in the midst of danger * and'if there were any whomil the contagion was able to infect, these were reniarked, almost uni- versally. to have the disease in that mitigated form which is not at- tended wvith danger." The total number vaceinated fro-n 1818 to 1822 in the United Kingdlom (excepting the capital) is 327,V5% and the total by the stationary vaccinetors for the .sAnetime, 34.P75 In 1821 there were W00080 persons vaccinated in Ceylon; 20,149 in the Presidency of Fort William: and 22,478 in that df Botmbay.
