A plot hac latelv been discovered in Bavaria, which tlreatens tO haveverv unple.asant consequences for many families. Severalyoung men of the re-pectable middle classes, all under 20 years of Age, seemed to have formed a band of robbers. which had sprcad chiefly in the high schools of Ratisbon, Nuremburg, An-berg, Salzback, Erlangen, &c. These youths were aided in their criminal enter- nrises bv subaltern officers. Their prindipal object was stealing and plunderlng when fires broke out, for which the confusion incident on such occasions gave them them but too frequent opporttunity, and it is supposed that, for tle attainment of their object they not unfreq,uentiy became incendiaries. The fruit of their iniquity was s?cnt in riot and debauchery. A solitary public-house in the vici- nity of Ambe.-g is spoken o. as the place where they held their prin- dpal meetings. A subaltern officer of the 10th regiment of infantry is said to be one of their leaders; a corporal of the artillery is also named, who made fireworks for the young criminals, which were used for their incendiary purposes. The second fire at Salz. back is placed to their account, end according to the confession of osne of thc prisoners, they stole a large quantity of silver on that oc- caion. The first clue to the discoverv of these misdeeds is said to have been found in the scnoml of Liederkron, at Erlangen, on occa- sic.t of the flight of a vouth who belongs to one of the most respected noble families in Bavaria. This is the substance of the first ac- counts: it is to be hoped that they will be found to be exaggerated. SM1YRNA, Nov. 28. 'We have now a great many ships of war in our roads: the Bel- &-na, the Bcbe frigate and several corvettes of the Austrian ma- rine, commanded by &ptain Armeny; the Algiers frigate, and the Hi*ds corvett . of the navy of the Netherlands; the English fri- gatcs Cambrian and Enryalits ; the ilfedea frigate, and part of the French division, arc also at Smyrna; the Salamander corvette is just .omc in. On the refusal of the Cassiotes to yive an indemnification for detaining a French ship, the SVlamzander took possession of a vessel fitted out at Casso wvhich in conformit wvith the orders of El1. de Riginv, was nuL released tll. deputies from Casso brougtitthc required indemnification to Syra, to the Captain of the SnIaamader.

LONDONV, TU.PISDAY, JANUARY 20, 124, Letters dated the 29th ult., and received yesterday ftom Cadiz, tnention that the expedition against Southt Ameri- ca, whick has been for some titne preparing in that pert, was on the point of sailing. It was decided that the Asia, the only ship of war in the harbour of the first class, was not to form apart of the expedition, which would therefore consist only of the frigates and smaller vessels. From. the quantity of provisions, &c., on board, it was presumed the dlestination was Peru. It does not appear that any land force wvas to accompany the expedition, the fate of which, therefore, will probably resemble that of several which have preceded it, in givit1g additional strength to those whom it was intended to subdue.

We have ad through the trial of Simon, the sentinel who shot the man ontheday of the D4ke Of ANGOULEME'S entry into Paris. There are many singularities in the pro- cess. The first and grfatest is,' the nature of the Court before which the ace"sed is brought. A soldier is charged with the murder of ain unarmed person in civil life; and for this the murderer Is tried by a Court-martial !-tbat is, the citizens-ors ubjects have to appeal from the fury of one soldier to tbe equity of many: the refuge of the -ag- grieved from mnilitary violence is in military law. Thank Heaven,- iuch a proceeding could not have taken place in England! There are also some particulars in the transactioi itself highly painful, The soldier, we will allosv, was in- silted by abusive iangupge; and be therefore levels his pieeeagainst one who can offiend him in no other way than by t5ords, for.the mirdered man was not on the Terrace where lthe soldier -prouneliaded, but on the Quay below, at the foot of a wall perhas 10 feet high, by wlhich wall the Terrace isssupported tovirds the Seine. The guard-bouse, also, was at nio great distance from thie sentinel, and in llis rear, with a secure passage to him; and though he repeat- edly cried to the body of men there stationed, CczAx armes," (to arrhs), it does not appear that any of them mooved out, Even if they had not heard his voice, he might have been sure that . the report of his gun would have called themq forth.; wvhlchhe might, therefore, have dischargetl into the air, oVinto the river ever the heads of a noli, as we have above stated, Weu feet belQw him, and therefore in no con- diiion to do him immediate 'injury. None of these matters .appear to hareb-efi Investigated by the Court-martial. It may be 's4i$, that some of the mob had scaled the wall, and were, therefore, in a position to attack the senti- nel; but if.'such-were the case, what so likely to provoke them to outiage, as the death of one of their comrades be- low ?. anel yet .the, sentinel appears to have retired unhurt, even after the fatal disebarge of his musket,

The French mornigandeveiingpapers of Friday,which arrived at a late hour last night, are chiefly filled with dis- cussions on the approachinig elections. It is mentioned in themn, that VICTOR EtA.SUEtL, the abdicated Kinig of Sar- dinia, wvhose death has been expccted every day for some time past, is dead. Prince CARIGNAN, we are told, who had learned the news on WVednesdlay, declined, on account of his relationship to the late King, to atter.d a brilliant festival given by one of the Generals of the Spanish army on that (lay. This Monarch, though he died far advanced in age, had reigned only a short timue, and wil ocCCUpy a snlil shorter spaee in the annals of history. Suc- ceeding to the throne by the abdication of one bro- thcr, he abdiicated in his turn in favour of ano- ther ; and the last act of his political existence was the greatest of his life. lWhen the revolution broke out at Turini, in March, 1821, the party who obtained the as- cendeircy ca'led upon him either to renounce his power, or to alopt a constitution which limited its exercise. Con- vinced that he ceuld not do the latter consistently with his engagements to his allies, or the nmaintenance of his proper authority, lie chose rather to surrender his crown than pre- serve it, like some other monarchs, by perfiay and perjury. His elder brother, abdicated in 1802, His reign, then, commenced like that of some other legi- tirnate Ki:gs, without subjects. On the restoration-of old dynasties in 1818, lie assumed the power,'which he ex- ercised with much mildness, but with little wisdom, till he surrendered it into the hainds of CH1ABLEs FELIX, in 1&21. He had two sisters, who were nmarried to th6 two brothers of Louis XVI., and four daughters, one of whom is mar- ried to the son of the Archduchess of LUCCA, the sister of FERDIN.NiD of Spain. The traitor MIIORILLO finds that he cannot renain in the country whose interests he betrayed. He has arrived at Rochefort. LONVDONM, MONDAY, JANUARY 19, 182

Honorary'Solicih)or':tb the-IMSendleity Society,in-witih--that gentleman, -.in' reply to an inqury put .thRi7'lJy_acorres- pondent in thisjournal, disavows- his ever havilng partici- pated professlonally in an'y money epeuded'by'fte Society for the Prosecution of Vagrants. We are glad to have re- ceived, and to-pubAlishl-such a-disavowal. Mr. TOO;E will, hbwever, excuse us, if we maintain, under all the circumstances of the case, that there was no impropriety in-the question. lWhat is there in the. title of Solicitor, more than in that of Secretary,which could lead our corres- pondent to the conclusion that the former Honorary Officer of the Society was incapable of accepting or appropriating any portion of its funds under any pretext, when the latter, being also an Honorary Officer, had participated so lafgely in zhose same funds, under the appellation of (non-Ho- norary) Acting Manager? The real evil is, that men of character will lend their naames and influence to mere jobs; and so long as they continue to do this, they must be content to Sear some part of the obloquy which results from detected abuses. Casting our eyes over ihe accounts of the Mendicity Society again, we find one of the Auditors of Accounts to be a certain Mr. PETrR PO- LAND; anid thbi MIr. PETEB, POLAND we also find to be the brother-in-law of Mtr. BODKIIN, the Honorary Secre- tary, hvbo has kindly accepted the So01. as a remuneration for his services in the character of Acting Manager ! We wish the public to understand, that it is not suffi- cient merely to subscribe money, which all most readily do whenever objects of charity are presented to them in a spe- cious address: men of character and station in society must give themselves the farther trouble of looking to the management of the institution of which they are the found- ers, be it wvhat it may, or abuses will creep in, and convert what rnight have been a blessing into an evil. No sooner is a sunm of money raised'for any specific purpose, than the bustlers and the jobbers are at work, either to try how much of it they can alienate for their own purposes, or, at least, how they may build themselves a name, and gain no- toriety by interfering in its management; and.honourable men must step in between such persons and their schemes of wealth and aggrandizement, or it were better that suf- fering humanity should be left to bare parochial relief.

WVe received last night the Peris morning and evening papers of Sunday. The following are extracts:- [From the Meonitear, Jan. 11.-Offiictal Part.] ORDINANCE OF T4RjqNG. " Louis, by the graee'of God, &c. " NVe have caused a pastoral letter of our cousin the Cardin Archbishop of Toulouse to be laid before us, which is dated the 15th of October, 1823, printed in that city by August in Manavit. And we hayc considered that if it is for the bishopsof our king- doom to ask o? us the ameliorations and changes which. they judge ne- cessary to religiom, it is not through the medium of pastoral lettersa that they can exercise that right, since they are addressed only to the faithful of their diocess, and should have no other object than to instruct them in the religious duties whichsirr prescribed thenm. " That our cousin the Cardinal Archbishop of Toulouse has published, under the fonn of a pastoralletter, propositions contraryto public law, and to the laws of the kingddom, to the prerogatives and independence of our crown. Therefore, on the ieport of our- eeper of the Seals, Minister Secretary of State for the Department of Justice, by the advie of our Council of State, wehave dec4red and declare, ordained an4d ordain, as follows:- " Art. 1. Themcis an abuse in'the.Tastoraljletter of our eousin' the Cardinal Archbishop of Toulouse, printed in the same city. by Augustin Manavit: in consequence the said letter is and shall re. main suppressed. 15 Art. 2.

The letters from Rio de Janeiro, brought by Thze Bro- thers, arrived at Guernsey, did not reach -town till yester- djq They are ited the 27th of November, and are found, onfrary to exentaon, to containintellig?nceof the utmost importance, both to Bmaiil and to Europe. As>tfh-princi: pal statement rests upon the authority of one letter' we will let, highly respectable as that authority is, vouch for the Facts: if they are true, the new Emperor of BBAZiL has at length most suddenly and unexpectedly thtown oft the mask, proved himself a legitimat'e son of that arcli-intriguer, the Queen Of PORTU'GAL, and adopted measures which leave no doubt of his intention to secure, either the ricfipossession of Brazil for the crown of his father, or the absolute so- vereignty for himself. It appears, then,'that a few days previous to the date of the letters, the Emperor, by a pro- ceeding as violent and arbitrary as that of CaOMsWELL, when he put an end to the long Pa4liament, had dissolved the Congress, then sitting and engaged in deliberation on subjects of the most important nature, among which was that of the future constitution by which Brazil was to be governed, and the terms of which were presumed to have hatl the Emperor's approbation. Not content with a simple dissolution of the Legislative Body, an order was at the same time issued for placing under arrest those of its members known to be attached to liberal principles. They were seized, and placed on board a transport lying in the har- bour, which immediately sailed with this new and unex- pected freight, for the destination, as was given out, of Havre de Grace, but there is too much reason to fear that these unfortunate persons will be carried, instead of a European port, to some of the Portuguese settlements on the coast of Africa. The dissolution of the Con- gress, and the deportation of the liberal members, was fol. lowed by the dismissal of the existing Ministry and the appointment of a new one, the members of which, thpugh avowedly of republican principles, are characterized as men but too likely to make them subservient to their interests. The following is a list of the Ministers in otice at the period of the dissolution of the Congress:- JOSE JOAQUIX CARNEIRO CAMPOS, Fereign Affairs and In- terior. CAETAXO PIXTO DE MIRANDA MONTENEGRO, Justice. JOAO V,EIETA DE CARTALHO, lWar. LUIS DA CUNHA MDOREIRA, Marine. 711ANOEL JACINTO NoGoEInA DA GAMA, Finance. The following is the list of the inew MIinistry, who are one more in number, a division having been made in the offices for Foreign Affairs and the Interior, which had pre- viously been united in the sa-ne individual:- LUIS J(SE DE CARVALHO E MELLO, Foreign Affairs.

The next arrivals from Rio, wvhich can alone furnish the clue to these extraordinary proceedings, are looked for with the utmost interest.
