FRIDAY, JAN. 4. The Infernal bomb, Captain Gilbert, and the Etna bomb, Capt. Hoste; are both ready for sea, having re-! ceived their shells; &c. on board. His Royal High- ness the Lord High Admiral proceeds to Woolwich this day; OR purpose to inspect the equipment of both those vessels; after which they sail directly to Ports- mouth. Letters from Constantinople of the 5th by the stitte that the Sultan had stopped all vessels laden with corn, for which the Turks have paid one- third in money, and given bonds for the rest, after which the ships were suffered to proceed to their des- tination. Great preparations for war still continue in the above capital. Accounts were this morning received from the Cap- of Good Hope to the 8th of November. The Caffrees had retired from the English settlements. The Lieu tenant-Governor still continued in the interior. We have received further intelligence from Gibral- tar. In the gale which took place on the night of the 11th ulth, four English merchant vessels were driven on shore, but they are all since got off with little da- mage. The Algerine fleet.it is said, had again offered battle to the French in-shore squadron, but the latter had once more declined it, probably less from any fear of the contest, than from a wish to decoy their enemy to such a distance from land, as might make their cap- ture or destruction inevitable. HAMBURGH, DEc. 27.-0fficial confirmation has been received of the disagreeable intelligence that Mo- rocco corsairs have been sent out to cruise against Hamburgh ships. An official notice from the Spanish Consul at Tangiers, announces that two ships of 18 guns, and 150 men each, are already fitted out, which are to cruise off Cape St. Vincenti against Prussian and Hanseatir ships. Extract of a letter from Toulon, 25th December: For some time an English frigate has been here, and asked permission to disembark a General Officer, coming from the Levant, bearing dispatches for his Government'; but the Sanitary Authorities of Mar- seilles refused permission yesterday. In the morning, this frigate fired a salute of 21 guns, and the Consul. General of England at Marseilles being informed of the refusal of the Commission of Marseilles to let the officer disembark, immediately left and arrived at Tou- lon in the night, and took charge of the dispatches sent to him from the frigate, when he immediately dis- patched several couriers to various quarters; at the same time preserving the most profound secrecy." The Message of the American President to Congress contains no information of any importance. The tone in which itfspeaks of the negociations, both with) France and England, is friendly but no new fact is I announced, except that the squabble between the au. thorities of the State of Maine and the Colony of New Brunswick is to be enquired into by a special com- missioner. It also announces that a treaty of amity. navigation, and commerce, has been concluded with Sweden, and expresses the most ardent hopes that the Greeks, aided by the three great European Powers may be able to achieve their independence. The rel mainder of the document is chiefly occupied with locae Affairs and the state of the public accounts. By the latter it appears that the receipts of the year ended th 30th September last, amounted to 21,400,000 dollars- the expenditure for the same period is estimated at 22,300,000; but of these twenty-two millions upwards of six have been applied to the dischage of the public d,bt, the whole amount of which, approaching seventy- four millions on the 1st of January last, will on the first day of next year fall short of 67»500,000. The balance in the Treasury on the 1st of Jan. was expected t Jexceed 5,450,0<J0 dollars.—This country pays more for the collecting of its taxes alone, than the whole (For remainder of Past, see Column 5th.)

FUNERAL OF CAPTAIN BATHURST.— On Thursday morning, the remains of this brave and gallant officer, who fell in the battle ofNavarino, when in the act of engaging his ship, the Genoa, with the Turkish fleet, under Admiral Sir Edward Codrington, were interred in the vault of Stonehouse Chapel, with all the honors due to his rank, and to the glorious cause in which he fell. His body, which had been brought on shore from the Genoa a day or two preceding, having been lodged in the Marine Barracks, was Ulis morning laid in state in the Mess Room of that Corps. The coffin was covered with black cloth, and had no other orna- ments than a silver breastplate, on which was the following inscription:— COMMODORE WALTER BATHURST, of His Majesty's Ship Genoa, j Died 21st Oct. 1827, of wounds received at the ó Battle of Navari-jov Aged 68 Years. The whole scene was one of the most impressive des- cription, aud was witnessed by more persons than on I any similar occurence.—Captain Bathurst was well known at Stonehouse, where he is spoken of in the very highest terms. A number of the crew of the Ge- noa were among the spectators, witnessing the awful ceremony of placing the remains of their late beloved and gallant Commander in their last sad home. On Saturday week an inquest was held at the Poor- house of St. Olave's, Tooley-street, on the body of a poor woman. It appeared that the deceased was found lying on the ground in New Back-court, Tooley- street, in a state of insensibility, having received two severe blows on the head, from stones that had been thrown at her, and one of which had caused a serious wound over the eye. Some people residing in the court came to her assistance, and Turner, a watchruanj was called, but instead of rendering her any assistance, he immediately ordered her to get up. She faintly said, "I cannot-I am dying;" and then Turner and another watchman took her by the shoulders, and dragged her towards St. John's workhouse, with the lower part of her person trailing in the mud. When they arrived at the workhouse, the master said she had made application to him during the day, but as she did not belong to the parish, he could not relieve her, and ordered her to be taken to the watchhouse. This occurred about eight o'clock, and about eleven the same night one of the watchmen was seen to place the deceased upo.n the steps of a pawnbroker's shop door, at the corner of Dog-and-Bear-yard. She implored them to take care of her, and said she should soon be dead. The person by whom this circumstance was witnessed hastened to the watch-house, and having made the facts known, a patrol went to the spot, and found the deceased lying extended on the ground.— The watchmen said they were not able to take her to the watch-house; upon which the third man said, "-her old eyes. I wish she had been dead, instead of coming in my way." He then left them, and returned with another watchman; and the four having taken her by the arms and legs carrried her a short distance, and then let her down again. One of the watchmen wished to take her into some passage and leave her there but the spectators having threatened to report their conduct, they went on, dropping the poor creature at every few yards, and in the course of an hour arrived at the watch-house. The coroner and jury censured the conduct of the watchmen, and ad- journed the inquest, in order that they should be sum- moned to explain their conduct. On Thursday, the 20th ult. as Sergeant Bale, of the Dulverston Troop of Yeomanry Cavalry, was on his return from the adjoining villages, where he had been to give notice ofa meating of the troop, he was unfortu- nately drowned in crossing the river Haydeo, nearly opposite Halford Mill, in the parishof King's Bromp- ton. The horse which he roae was found straying in the road early on the following morning; and after some search his hat, in which were his gloves and pocket handkerchief, was found lodged in an alder bush. On Saturday the body was discovered more than a mile below the place where the accident occured, having been washed that distance by the rapidity of the current, at that time much swollen by the late heavy rains. On Monday an inquest was held on the body by Mr; Caines; and it appeared that the deceased had made his last call at a farm house, about a mile from where he lost his life, and that he left that house at about half-past six, perfectly sober. He was up- wards of seventy years of age, and from his regular conduct, was generally esteemed. Verdict, "Acci- dental Death." A singular, and almost fatal accident, occurred to Mr. W. Mellersh, son of Thomas Mellersh, Esq. of Godalming, when shooting on Saturday last, on his father's estate, in company with two friends. The party had just commenced their start, when they arrived at some hurdles, which were withed up, and one of the friends, a youiia- hand, supposing the hur- dles were to be scaled, and wishing to be particularly cautious, proceeded to uncock his glln. At that criti- cal moment, Mr. Mellersh having undone the hurdles, retired a step or tvvo backwards to throw them open, and came against his friend's gun, which went off, and the charge penetrated Mr. W. Mellersh's shooting jacket, at the pocket, weiit through his povydef flask "I ty into the back part of his thigh; out just bplow the groin, and through the small clothes of the other'thigh, when it became spent. The charge, condensed by the powder flask and part of the powder "flask itself, ;fell out of the small clothes when they were pulled off the uninjured thigh. Mr. M. was whirled round and thrown on the ground. He exclaimed I am shot," and his friends thought fatally, but after a few minutes he moved his legs, and said he thought he could walk. and actually, with the assistance of his friends, did walk some paces; The terror and distress of his friends cannot be described, but he cheered them with a smile and Sustained himself and them. He was removed home, a distance of several miles; and all the symptoms are favourable to a recovery. One of the dogs was singed by the explosion of the flask Which contained more than half a pound, and the top of the flask has been picked up at the distance of sixty yards. On Christmas day; a most awful and striking instance of the truth of the words" in the midst of Life we are in death," occurred at Wennington, near Avely; in Essex, in the person of the Rev. Martin Wiseman, who has been for a great many years curate of those parishes. The deceased after having gone through the service of the day, and preached a sermon with somewhat more than usual energy, had gone to the altar for the purpose of administering the Sacrament. He had consecrated the bread," and was proceeding to consecrate "the wine," when, at the instant after he had pronounced the words Likewise after supper he took the cup," and was in the act of putting out his hand to reach the cha- lice, he fell down in front of the table, and, without titteriiig a syllabloer groan. expired.

.-r LORD COL LINGIVOOD. A Life of Lord Collingwood has just is /ued from the Press. It contains much interesting maUer, of which we proceed 10 lay before our readers a speciw.eit In 1807, Lord Collingwood was connects d with the ope- ration* which grew out of the rupture between England and Turkey. Some ot his letters have, \h consequence, a sort of a present tense" interest fi-oi-n f ,he pictures which they furnish of the Turks. ms clescl Iplion of a dinner given to one of his officers, is not a litti e curious. The Captain was invited to dine i ciih the Capitan Pa- cha, who is the Lord High Admiral. -3 here were only five at table-the Capitan Pach", the Pacini of the Dardanelles, my friend the Gapagi Baslr, with be, tid down theirgirdles, Captain Henry, and the Dragoman. There were neither plates nor knivesand forks, but ea. h had a tortoise-shell spoon. In the middle or the table fas a rich embroidered cushion, on which was a large gold salver, and every dish to the number of about 40, was brought up single, and pla- ced upon the salver, v.hen the corjpany helped themselves with their fingers, or if it was a fr icasee, with their spoons. One of the dishes WrdS a roasted Utmb, stlllfed with a pud- ding of rice; the Capitan Pach <i took it by the limbs, and tore it to pieces to hell) his guests, so that you see the art of carving has not arrived at any great perfection in Turkey. The coffee cups were of beautiful china, which, instead of saucers, were inserted in gold stands like egg-cups, set round in diamonds, rubies, and emeralds. They drank on- ly water, and were waited on by the Vice and Hear Admi. rals, and sonje of the Captains of the fleet. They spoke lightly of the Russians when they mentioned them at all, and seemed, to consider themselves as quite a match for them, if the English were out of their way. When our gen. tlemen left them, the Pacha of the Dardanelles presented them ealctt with a shawl, which is considered as a token of friendship. I think a specimen of manners so unlike those of Europeans will amuse you." At that period the Turks appear to have felt much respect for the English,and much dislike for the Russians. The Admiral says— 1 am much afraid we shall never do any good in con- cert with the Russians they hate the Turks, and the Turks detest them-. which ueither party is at any trouble to con- ceal. The Turks like us, and, I am afraid, the Russians are a little jealous of us. Conceive, then, how difficult a part I have to act amongst them and whitt mortifies me is, that I see little hopes of good from all my cares. To give vou an idea of the Turkish style of letters to the Russians, the Captain Pacha begins one to the Admiral Siniavin, by telling him, After proper inquiries for your health, we mnst observe to you, in a friendly way, what yourself must know, that to lie is forbidden by all religions. Your friend should not receive a falsehood from you, nor ean he be a friend who would offer you one.' In a sort of battle they have had, the Turks accused the Russians of somethiug contrary to the received law of nations, which the Russians denied to be the case and the Turk tells him, that his re- ligion forbids him to lie." The subjoined particulars relating to the memorable hat. tle of Trafalgar, are highly interest ing It has been said, that no man is a hero in the eyes of his valet-de-chambre; but that this is not universally true, is proved by the account which was given to the Editor by Mr. Smith, Admiral Collingwood's vilued servant. I en. tered the Admiral's cabin,' he observed, about day light, and found him already up dressing. He asked if I had seen the French fleet ? and on my replying that I had not, he told me to look out at them, adding, that in very short time we should see a great deal more. I then observed a crowd of ships to leeward but I could not help looking with still greater interest at the Admiral, who, during all the time, was shaving himself with a composure that quite astonished me." Admiral Collingwood dressed himself that morning with peculiar care and soon after, meeting Lieutenant Clavell, advised him to pull offhi sboot%. I You had better,' said he, 4 put on silk stockings, as I have done, for if once you should get a shot in the leg,they would be so much more manageable for the sutgeou.' He then proceed- ed to visit the decks, encouraged the men to the discharge of t heir duty, and, add ressing the officers, said to them.- 4 Now, gentlemen, let us do something to-day, which the world may talk of hereafter. In consequence of the glorious result of this battle, Ad- miral Collingwood was raised to the peerage, by the tittle of Baron Collingwood, of Caldbunre and Hethpoole, in the countv of Northumberland, and received the thanks of both Houses of Parliament. An honourable augmentation was made to his arms, by the introduction in chief of one of the lions of England, navally crowned, and surmounted by the word Trafalgar;" and an additional creet was granted to him, representing the stern of the Royal Sovereign. He received the thanks and freedom of the principal cities of Great Britain, and a pension was granted by Parliament of £2,000 per annum for his own lite, and, in the event of his death, of XI 000 per annum to Lady Collingwood, and of j £ 500 per annum to each of his two daughters." At this period the following letter was addressed to Lord Collingwood by the Duke of Clarence: St. James's, Nov. 9, 1805. Dear Sir,—As a brother Admiral and as a sincere well- wisher to my king and country, permit me to congratulate you on the most important victory gained on the 21st of Oc- tober by your gallant self, and the brave officers, seamen, and Royal Marines, under your command, and formerly under my lamented and invaluable friend Lord Nelson. The country laments our hero, and you and I feel the loss of our departed friend. Five and twenty years have I lived on the most intimate terms with Nelson, and must ever, both publiclv and privately, regret his loss. Earl St. Vin- cent & Lord elsou, both, in the hour of victory, accepted from me a sword, & I hope you will now confer on me the same pleasure.al haveaccordingly sent a sword, with which you will accept my sincere wishes for your future welfare. I must request you wil I let me have the details of the death of our departed friend and I ever remain, dear Sir, yours alternably, WnxrAM." ✓ The following is the last letter written rby Lord Nelson VICTORY, OCT. Ig.-It was the Rochfort squadron that took the Calcutta. Yesterday, by the Guernspyman, we had the French officer on board. He belonged to the Mag- nanimous, and tays that-they should have taken the Aga- nemnon, in the night, but they fancied the Oporto and Lis. hon convoy were ships of war. The first rate sails faster than any of them five sail of the line, three frigates, and two brigs. Sir Richard has five sail; but I think he will have enough on his hands, and from my soul I wish him well over it. What a beautiful day Will you be tempt- ed out of voiirship ? If you will, hoist the Assent and Vic- tory's pendants. 1 had a letter from Sir James Saumarez yesterday, of Oct. 1. He sent me some papers: I take it very kind of him. ,0 Ever, my dear Coll. yours most faithfully, 1, NELSON & BROSTE." Annexed is this note of Lord Collingwood's" Before the answer to this letter had got to the Victory, the signal was marie that the enemy's fleet was coming out of Cadiz, and We chased immediately." The gallant Admiral was distinguished by a most lauda- ble anxiety to guard against all waste of the public stores, and his biographer rem-,irks There was one thing, however, which, as he ever prac- tised it on a remarkable degree himself, so he excited it with great rigour from others, and that was the utmost economy in the use of the naval stores. "1 am really at a loss to know,' he observes, in writing to Sir James Saumarez. I whether the enemy will make a push ,n the dark nijfhts, or have adopted a policy slower in its operation, but more certain. and mean to stay in port-till our ships are worn at sea, and the expence of keeping them there has brought the finances of the coontry to poverty and exhaustion. This is a condition to he as carefully guarded against as a pre- sent invasion, for the latter will be the certain consequen- ces of the former, if ever unhappily reduced to it. Strong- ly impressed with this belief, my thoughts are ever bent on economising, and doing all in my power to lessen the ex- pence of sailing the ships. The difference 1 observe in them is immense: some men, who have the foresiglA to dis- cern what onr first dilflculty will be, support and provide Iheir ships by enchantment! one scarce knows how; while others, less provident, would exhan-t a dock-yard, and still be in want. I do not think those Gentlemen should go to ¡ .v_ v_- -u. t'a; they certainly do not regard or fee! for the future ne- cessities of their country.' When instances of this inatten- tion occured, his 'disapprobation at times hroke forth in terms of great severity. That officer.' said lie on one occa- s on,4 should never sail without" a store-ship in company. He knows as much seamanship as the King's Attorney-Ge- neral. I would not trust him with a boat in a trout- stream.' We have great pleasure in transcribing the following playful but feeling letter, addressed to J. E. Blacken, Esq. 44 OCEAN, JAN. 1, 1807.-1 cannot begin this new year so much to my satisfaction as by offering my congratulation to you on your birth-day, and my best wishes that you may enjoy health to see many returns of it. 1 hope you are with my beloved family enjoying yourselves in great com- fort: and long may you live uninvaded by the sound of war. What a blessed day it will be to me when we shall meet to celebrate the new year, to talk of the privations we have suffered in times past, & have only to look forward for blessing to the future 1 have lived now so long in a ship, always engaged in serious employments, that I shall be unfit for any th.ng but the quiet society of my family: it is to (hem that I look for happiness, if ever I am relieved from this anxious and boisterous life, and in them I hope for every thing. Tell the children that Bounce is very well and very fat, yet he seems not to be content, and sighs so piteously these long evenings, that I am obliged to fcing him to sleep, and have sent them the song. Sigh no more, Bouncey, sigh no more, Dogs,were deceivers never, Though ne'er you put one foot on shore, 9 True to your master ever. Then sigh not so. but let us go Where dinner's daily ready, Converting all the sounds of woe To hoigh phiddv diddy. It is impossiblejat this distance I can direct and ma- nage the education or my daughters; but it costs me many an anxious hour. The ornamental part of education, though necessary, is secondary; and I wish to see their minds enlarged by a true knowledge of good and evil, that they may be able to enjo\ the one, if it be happily their lot, and submit contentedly to any fortune, rather than de- scend to the other. How do you feel since you were block- aded ? Nothing certainly can be more presumptuous than that decree of Boneparte's, or more unjust than the seizure of property in neutral countries. I shall have great pleasure in being a sponsor to Sir William Blackett's child; and if it be a son, and he will make him a sailor, I desire my little Sarah will begin to teach him his compass, that he may know how to steer his course in the wotid, which very few people do."

FRENCH AND ENGLISH EATING John Bull has somehow or other acquired the reputation of being not only a meat-loving, but a most capacious sto- mached animal: yet [ am prepared to maintain that Master Soupe Maigre beats him hollow at the amiable recreation of eating and drinking. With the Englishman, the matter of eating is a hungry stay, or a pastime, for the want of something better to do :-w ith the Frenchman it is a pro- fession, and the most important concern in life. In France the science of cookery is cherished and revered in Eng- land, generally speaking, it is not known at all. It is odd that that narrow channel, the Straits of Dover, should mark out so important a difference in the habits of a people al- most within gun-shot of each other. Of the two nations, however, the wise, in my mind, is that which attends to the animal economy of life. Man has been somewhere defined to be a 41 cooking animal." This is not universally true. He is so in Gaul; he is not so in Britain. Of what avail is it that Providence supplies us bountifully with the fruits of the earth if we know not how to cook them ? True, a cau- liflower in Britain, and a cauliflower in France, are the same in the bed, but they are not the same on the board and here all the distinction ties There is as much difference between a 44 Chotifleur au jus" at the Cafe de Paris, at Very's, and a plain-boiled cauliflower at any tavern in Lon- don, as there is between Sir Wm. Curtis and Monsieur La- fitte. The one is in a state of nature on the other, the cu- linary art has exhausted all her cunning. So it is with a spinach or a salad. In Britain they give you a 44 small dab" of spinach under a leg of lainb-tasting most po- tently of water. In France, spinach aspires to the d ignity of a separate dish and in dresMDg it, an artist may always evince his Calibre. On the other side of the channel nmny maxims have been propounded of salad, but of these ttte most approved seems to be 11 faut bien fatiguer la sa lade." The mere use of the word Fatiguer alone, in refe- rence to such a subject, has more gusto in it than all the sa- lad I ever tasted f om Pall Mall to the Poultry In London there is a great consumption ofoysters, hut they are not eaten (if I may so speak) philosophically, or with such good purpose or intent, as in France. In Eng- land your gormandiser swallows his oysters for supper, and eats them to satisfy the cravings of an appetite already in esse while in France, oysters are uniformly eaten just be- fore dinner, and to make an appetite in posse. In other words, all Englishman 44 discusses" the oyster to satisfy hunger, the Frenchman to create it. To the one the fish is a stimulus—an appetizer—awhet; to the other, astay stomach; producing that stagnation which we call-at is faction Ac- cordingly. you shall see a Frenchman swallow two dozen of oysters, with lemon juice, and a glass or two of the Vin de Chablis, and dine all the better for it; while to John Bull, the dose would be a surfeit. But we have 44 other fish to fry and let its say a word or two on the roti. The English understand roasting better than any other depart- ment of the culinary art, yet they cannot be said 41 to rule it;" for in the quality of their fowls, as well as the roast- ing of thein, the French beat them hollow. And first as to the quality Where in England will you find any thing so good or so cheap as the Poularde de Mons ? In what country in this our "sea-girt" isle would you match me any thing Jike the fowl of Normandy, fed on the ble noir, or buck wheat. To be sure this 11 buck wheat" is to be met with in Wales; but the most important matter, the fowls, you do not meet I-at least such fowls as you get in Nor- mandy. The reason of this is obvious:—the Norman pea- sant gives his fowl as good fare as he provides for himself: for of his ble noir, kind of potage en consistence, or flummery is made, on which the family and the fowl in common feed. So much for the feeding; now for the roasting. In tbe first place, then, a fowl is always kept longer in France than in England, and is invariably wrapped up in the leaves of the fig-tree, which contributes to make it tender. Secondly, just before being put to the spit, the fowl is covered with what iscalled a barde (tranche delard), which is nothing more or less than a thin broad slice of fat bacon. This 44 I)itrde"-while it renders the necessity of basting less imperative, thou-,h it does not altogether obviate it- gives to the fowl a rich flavour, a more exquisite moisture, and also operates as a fortification, or outwork, to prevent the -1 bird" from having too much of the fire; whereby it may he a trilie too brown or overdone. Hence you are always certain of finding your 44 Poularde" of a delicate autumnal tint, such as the leaves and the fruit wear towards the close of atittimn 44 Th' embrowning of the fruit [read fowi] which tells How rich within thesoul of sweetness dwells." The reader will observe that thi, barde, or tranche de lard, by no means includes the" larding" of the fowl, for which the more common word in use is" biqner," though the verb I, larder" is sometimes put into requisition to express t.lse same idea. Thi. mailer of larding-one of the greatest im- prfovements in the science of cookery, —is but ill understood in England, though it has (one; nd deservedly flourished in France. I shall explain the process by which it is I)c-r. formed. Take your lard (as Mrs. Glasse phrases it) and let it he cut into numerous thin and fibrous threads; then, with a needle, (dlJl. loaded with the lard) pass it through the body of your bird. whose breast and body presently assume somewhat the appearance of the back of a hedge- hog, from the number of small prickles which stand out in bold and beautiful relief to the eye. In fact, to compare great things with small, larding is to a fowl what rivers are to a coutit rv-tlie numerous intersections, ufthe one and 1 fit. other, fertilise, moisten, & adorn both- t mean the fowl & the country. The French term *'pique" has its origin in the ofiice of larding being performed with a needle; the verb P'quer" signifying to stitch, to mark, to prick, and finally to lard.-New Monthly Magazine.

SATURDAY, JAN. 5. REVIEW.—Notwithstanding the extreme coldness and inclemency of the weather, as it was generally known that Dun M ig-uel would attend at a Review of the Foot Guards, this day, in St. James's Park, the Park was thronged at an "early huur, with carriages, horse- men, and pedestrians innumerable. The windows of the Horse Guards, and of all the Government Offices, and private houses looking into the Park were also tilled with the families of the nobility, and others of high rank. The Guards, horse and foot, with the Carbineers and the 72d Highlanders, marched to the area in front of the Horse Guards, at twelve o'clock, and soon after the Commander in Chief, accompanied by Don M iguel, Lord Fitzroy Somerset, Sir H. Torrens, and a number of officers and gentlemen connected with the Staff of the Commander in Chief, and with Don Miguel's suite, made their appearance, and took their station immedi- ately in front of the Park entrance to the Horse Guards. The troops then went through a variety of manoeuvres, which were executed with uncommon precision, not- withstanding the annoyance to which the soldiers were subjected from the state of the ground, as well as from a heavy fall of snow, which continued without the 4ligljtest intermission during the entire afternoon. The troops, after marching past the Commander in Chief and Don Miguel, were dismissed to their several stations. Don Miguel was dressed in a splendid blue uniform, and appeared to be highly delighted with the appearance of the troops. Don Miguel appears to lie an excellent horseman,and sat the review without even the protection of a cloak, as did the Commander in Chief. PARIS, JAN. 4.—A courier leaving Constantinople the 7th of December, has brought the following intel- lii;ence:-Tlie Sublime Porte, after an extraordinary- Council met to deliberate upon affairs of importance, had renewed its refusal to accept the intervention of the Powers, signing the Treaty ot London, The con- ference with the Ambassadors at Constantinople is dis- solved. The Russian Envoy was to embark on the same day; the French and English Ambassadors were to set off on the following day. Their passports had been again refused however, it was known that the Pacha of the Bosphorus would allow the vessel to pass, in which M. de Ribeaupierre was embarked. The Porte was making every preparation for war. It is reported that Taher Pacha, who commanded the Turkish fleet at Navarino, is appointed Capitan Pacha. The population of Constantinople appears to be deeply afflicted. The Porte would not acknowledge the protection of the Ambassador of the Netherlands for the subjects of the three Allied Courts the Porte undertook to pro- tect them. Nearly all had resolved to remain at Con- stantinople, where every thing was perfectly tranquil. Monsieur de Ribeaupierre had given to his col- leagues full powers to arrange with the Commanders of the Allied Squadrons the measures to be taken in opposition to the Porte. It is thought, that one of these measures'will he the establishment of a station at the entrance of the Dardanelles, for the purpose of preventing the transport of men, arms, ammunition, and provisions, which might be forwarded on account of the Turks. Letters from Admiral de Rigny, received this morn- ing, make no mention of the event at Scio.

MONDAY, JAN. 7. THE QUARTER'S REVENUE.—We present our read- ers this day with the Accounts of the Revenue for the Quarter ended the 5th of January, 1828. The whole of the quarter ended 5th Jan. 1828, is j £ 1*2,336,083. That of the quarter ended 5th January, 1827, is = £ 12,524,085. There is therefore a deficiency in the last quarter, as compared with the corresponding quarter of the former year, of ^'188,002. If we limit our comparison to the ordinary revenue, the deficiency- is £ 2?2,284. If we compare the year ended 5th January, 1828, with the year ended 5th of January, 1827, the defici- ency on the year which is expired amounts to £ 5,993. If we compare together the ordinary revenue of the two years, the deficiency on that which has expired, is £ 92,9/4. In that department of the revenue, which is least liable to be affected by accidental circumstances, and which more than any other, affords a measure of the active industry of the country—we mean the Post Of- fice—there is a falling off of < £ 51,000 in the last quar- ter, as compared with the corresponding quarter of 1827. The decrease on the whole year is 111,000, or nearly one-twelfth. The greatest falling off is in the Excise. The pro- I duce of the quarter ended 5th Jan. 1828, is less by < £ 240,983 than the produce of the quarter ended 5th Jan. 1827. The year, ended 5th Jan. 1S28, as com- 'pared with that ended 5th Jan. 1827, exhibits a de- crease of £77J,709. The branches un which there is an increase are, the Customs, the Stamps, Taxes, and Miscellaneous. There is a slight decrease in the Customs for the quar. ter of X 11,304, but the increase on the present year is < £ 625,076. The Stamps exhibit an increase on the quarter of £25,56-1 on the year of = £ 98,126. Taxes exhibit an increase on the quarter of £ 11,487 <>n the year of < £ 65,531. Miscellanies no less than < £ 7S,234 on the quarter; on the whole year < £ 95,983. CORFU, DEC. 4.—The report is prevalent here that the fortress of Patras has fallen into the hands of the Greeks. The Turks, having learned the catastrophe at Navarin, hastened to capitulate with Gen. Church, on condition that they should br' allowed to march out with all the honours of war. They dreaded that want of provisions would, ere long, oblige them to surren- der at discretion. NUREMBURG, DEC. 30.—An English messenger, who passed through this city yesterday, stated that he came trom Corfu, where the English Ambassador, Mr. Strat- ford Canning, had already arrived from Constantino- ple, and by whom he had been sent with despatches to Sir Henry Wellesley, English Ambassador at Vienn-, whence lie was to proceed by way of Frankfort to Lon- don. WARSAW, DEC. 20.—The Polish army, 40,000 strong, and well disciplined,—a part being old soldiers, is on the eve of setting out to join the great Russian army about to enter Turkey. The staff of the Quarter Mas- ter General Travenstrauch, has already departed with the advance guard, consisting of four regiments of lan- cers. Although, consistently with the Constitution, the Polish troops cannot be employed out of the kingdom, they have solicited the favour of participating in the glorious struggle against the oppressors of Christian- ity. BUCHAREST, DEC. 16.—Every thing here announrea war, and we are on the eve of great events. Ti e Russian armies are ready to march. The guards of the capital have been tripled within these few days, and no citizen is allowed to be out of doors after eibt in the evening. Two hundred citizens make the round of the city every evening; their place of rendezvous is the monastery of Radou-Voda. a fortress situated on a hill, to the east of the Castle of the Cathedral. Every one hurries to intrust all his valuable property to the chief of this monastery. We learn from Hermanstadt, that the number of tl:e Austrian troops is augmenting every day in Transyl- vania and in Bautlat. Only foreign troops arrive there.
