It is determined, it is asserted, to separate the govern- ments of Malta and of the lonian IsTlands, which were conjointly held by the late Sir Thomas 31aitland. The former is to be given to the Marquis of Hastings, with a salary of 6,0001. a-year; the latter to Sir Frederick Adam, with one of 4,0001. per annumn. The command of the forces in the Mediterranean will not be included, as here. tofore, in the government of Malta. Extract of a letter, dated Rio de Janeiro, Dec. 5, 1823 Our apprehensions of serious consequences resulting from the late violent proceedings of the Emperor have subsided; for every thliitg remains in a perfect state ofc tranquillity, and business is resuming its former activity. We received yesterday e series of Gazettes from Hobart- town, Van Dieman's Land, to the end of August. The progress of imijprovement in this fine colonv appears to be extremely rapid, of which, perhaps, the most strikin&, in- stance is afforded in the projdcted establishmeiit9fpassage- vessels, constructed after thle manmer, of the Leith and: Ber- wick smacks, to sail regularly between Hobdrt-town and Sidney, for the conveyaiice of passengers. A company had been formel for this purpose at Hobart-town, to which the sum of 2,s5ol. had beenl subscribed, the whole araount re- quired for the undertaking beinig 6,0001; The Berwick, a passage-vessel forfVan Dieman's Land, had brought out a supply of merino, the greater part of which arrived safe; but of 24 head of horned cattle, shipped on board the same vessel, the whole unfortunatelvperished. Thesecattlewere of the approved brieed, and in consequence of the very serious loss sustained, as well to the colony as to the individuals concerned, a legal investigation was likely to take plaqe on the subject. We are glad co perceive that proper pro- tectiou is given to the passsngers on their voyage to this colony, by giving themu damages in the law. corurts iii cases of neglect or ill-treatment of the ciptain. Three actions for subli conduct were brought Inthe' Lientenant-Governor's court against the captain of the Berwvick; in all of which verdicts were given for the plaintiffs. lt.was in contem- plation to,establish a baak at:Hobartfstow. - ......

Samnel Ifilliam Dakib Fores was bronutht up for judgment. WVc reported the case some days ago. It will be recollected that the insolvent had been in the emplovment of Messrs. Champion and Green. vinegar-merchants, as collecting clerk, from whom he em- bezzled a considerable sutm of money. The COURT adiudged him to to be remanded for 1a months, and conlned within the walls of the prison. Ed-ward Putland was also brought up forjudgment. We reported his case when the examination took place. It related principa3l3v to a bill which the insolvent had given to a Captain Santdon, for the purpose of raising money to enable him to procure hlis discharge, but which bill Captain Sandon passed to a tailor named Moore, the pre- sent opposing creditor, and turned the proceeds to his own account. Captain Sandon was prosecutedl ih the misolvent at the Surrey ses- sions for the frnud, and sentenced to 7 years' transportation. The COuwr considered that the insolvent had lent himself to a frauti in the cotmllencement of this transaction; and therefore ordered him to be remantled for seven months. and confined within the walls of the prisenl.

(rXTtRACT OF A PllVATE LETTE1L.) Our absolute Royalists have b-en somewhat quieter for several days past, and the Liberals ar allowed alittlerepose. -The grnt]c- men of the Faith have relaxed their animosi* Agaiiist:the tdnsti- tutionallsts, an(d now coinplain loudly of tIe fink *who, they say, has not rewarded them as they deservedl. These complaintc pretty plainly show, thnt the men who pretend to he the purest Royalists are not particulatly devoted to the King. The Frenci, too, have also to sustain a considerable share of this Royalist hostility. Daring the Christmas holydays a batbarous doggrel song was sung through the public streets, which had for its chorus-_ " Let Blacks and wiites, join beart and hand,' " To drive all Frenchmen from the land." The Government has definitively ordered all the bishops.arid archbishops who had repaired to 31adrid to return to their dioceses. The finance departmenthas undergone a great purification. About 16 of the principal clerks have been dismiissed without any pay or allowance whatever. Oar official Gazeette announces tbat all the officers tho served vo- luntarilv in the national milia- are dismissed. This measure is much too rigorous, for under the constitutional systemi a great number of these officers were obliged to serve, uider pain of being .marked out as enemies of the existing Government. Lieutenant- General Griniarest, late Inspector-General of militia,: is appointed Captain-General of Arragon. fie is succeeded in the former. office by the Crunt de San Roman. General Silveyra, who is here in the characterof Charge d'Affaires from Portugal, maintains the greatest secrecy respecting'the events which have lately taken place at Lisbon. wNevertheless, it is cur- rently reported that there bas been aseditious ntovement inthat city, though nothingpositive is stated as to its co-.equences. It is this moment reported, that GeneralBourmont, commander- in-chief of the French army, has applied to his Governmenit for an additional number of troops. This step is not at all surprising, for the Spanish Government tonot tranquihlize the public mind by Stop- ping the persecutions and repressing the false zeal of the pretended defenders of the altar and the throne. Spain mlust soon become the theatre of the most dreadful transactions. It is remarked that few days pass in which somne French soldiers are not as- sassin2ted; and the dispersion of the army encourages the daring atrocity of a people who, because thev are flattered, believe them- selves capable of accomDlishing any thing. Travellers who arrive at Aladrid state that the roads are scarcelv practicable; there is every moment danger of being stopped ana robbed. The courierscannotadvance a step withouit ans escort. It seems that nothing short of a miracle can now save Spain. . The Men nf the Faith st-le thenmselves flancos (Whites), and tue ConstItUtionalists they call Negros (Blacks.) MlADRID, DEc. 30.

Wlre received last night the Paris papers of Thursday and Friday. They contain little or nothing to interest the English reader.

MARCELLUS, who had gone on an extraordinary mis. sion to Madrid, is said to bave left that capitalon the 8th. The following are extracts from the Etoile dated Saturday:-- " PARIS, FEB. 13. "An extraordinary Russian Courier,coming from St. Petersburgh, has arrived at Paris, and after having taken the despatches of Count Pozzo di Borgo, set out yesterday for Madrid. *- A Counier from Vienna, addressed to Baron de Vincent, the Austrian Ambassador, set out yesterday for London. " MIr. Von Fleischmann is certainly to reside at StLPetersburgh,as Charge des Affaires for the King of Wurtemberg. It is said, how- eter, that he will not present his credentials till a few days before the departure of the Count Beroldingen, whose stay at St. Peters- burgh will be protracted for some time longer. It is afuirmed that this minister (who bas lately been appointed Mlinisterof Foreign Af. fairs by the King of Wurtemberg) has succeeded in the private ne- gotiation which was confided to him by his sovereign.

[From the ANewa ihty Ma en::ne.] The original use and formation of Spanish surnames was this - The Spaniards, like the Greeks, showeLd their immediate descent to bea atronym ic ending in er. We do not recollect any exception to this bettthat of Garcia, which generally loses the last letter, as .a Cbristian -name, and suffern no alteration as a patronymic, e. g. Gasci Per~ez, Gazcin. the so6n of Peter; Pedro (ancientlv Pero) Garcrn, Peter, the son of Garcia. There is also Garces, which we take to be the regular derivation from Garcia, the z changed into s, to avoide the immediate repetition of the. dental sound of the c, for- merly written , which is the sailleas that of; the z. In a similar manner, Sanchez signifies'the son of Sancho ,--Goneatvez, more com- monly Gonzalez, the son of Gonzalro, generaly written and pro- nounced Gonzalo. From Rodrigo was derived RodHguez, and from Rn the abbreviation of that name, Rtuz. Mien of distinction added to these two names an agnemnen, taken from their estates, or from the place where their ancestors lived wben they rose into notice ThLs the Spanaards call solar, the ground or plot of a family. Hence, the preposition de or- del, which is always prefixed to tbis designation, may be generally taken to be a mark of good descent. The,- proudest names in Spanish his. tory are formed in this ma.ne :-R ny I;iez* del Bivar; Garci Perez de Vrgasg; Gonzalo Pernandet de ('ordoba, {c. The aff'ectt fon of distinguishled birth induced many to add the name of their birth.place to the patronymic, a fashion much in vogue among the-leamed of the 16th century; and, in progress of time, this addi. tion wr- adopted as the surname of a wvhole family, either singly or *ith the patronymic; whiclh, in modem times, is never altered. This is the cause of the multitude of Rodriguez, Sanchez, Fernandez, which1 like the Rritish Johnsons, Jacksons, &c., are found among the Spanish peasantry.

This hu- mane object appears generally to ocwupy the attention of states throughout the union. " MExico.-A Couunittee of the i lexican Constituent Congress on the 20th of November reported a draughtof a constitution,in which they propose to establish a National Government, to embrace the provinces and intendencics lately included in the viccroyalty of New Spain. and modelled pretty closely after the constitution of the United StAtes, with the exception that the Roman Catholic religion is to be the religion of the State, and the exercise of any other reli- gion is prohibited. It proposes to leave the administration of internal concerns to the provinces, whtich, to.the number of fifteen or more, shall have republican constitutions of their own, on the same gene. ral principles as that of the nation."
