Saturday to Mondays Posts. I LONDON, FEB. 14. THE French Government having a short time W back sent M. de Marcellus on a special mission to Madrid, the dispatches of that personage reached Paris on the 9th insr., and they hecame the subject of deliberation at an extra- ordinary Council of Ministers on Sunday. If the arrival of the new Envoy failed in producing any great sensation at Madrid, or any striking change <jn the mind of Ferdinand, it is described at least as causing an uncommon sensation at the hot?! of the French Ambassador, exciting a host of no very agreeable feelings in the mind of the Ambassador, M. de ialeru, who, on finding himself superseded without notice or apology, and in an .affair that pruperly belonged to his mission, imrncdiatdy declared he had no longer any business at Madrid, and sent in his resignation. The Paris papers of Thursday state that Mascellus had left Madrid, his mission being fulfilled. The purpose of his Journey is stated to have been that of persuading Ferdinand to controul the fanatical and servilie party. „ The intelligence from Lisbon asserts that the "Cpnstitutionalists are intriguing deeply against the Queen. This shews, that notwithstanding the revolution effected by the military in favour of absolute despotism in Portugal, it is far from being ,securely established in that country. The Court of Assize of Paris on the 7th inst. acquitted a Madame Chauvet, accused of being an accomplice in a plot against the Government, in carrying letters from a party of refugees in London to their friends in Paris. The onlv thing curious in thetriatwas the examination of General Li fay e tie as a witness, who protested against being called Marquis-a title which he said he had deposited on the bureau of the Constituent Assembly. A private letter from Zante, of the 8th January, which appears in these papers, mentions the arrival there, on their way to Missolunghi, of several persons with money, ammunition, and clothing, for the Greeks, obtained by means of subscription in England and Germany. Two printing houses are said to have been established at Missionnghi, where a daily journal is to be published under the title of the Grecian Chronicle. It is added that the Greek Ghieftan, Odysseus, had gained possession of Carystos, in the island of Eubcea, and was besieging Erythraea, that other commanders were blockading Negroponf, that Patras was so closely pressed that several Turkish families had been allowed to go forth under a special arrangement, and the Greek prisoners in the fort had been released, and that Mauracordato was besieging Lepanto. No mention is made of any Turkish force. ————— A series of Gazettes from Hobart-town, Van Bieman'sLand, to the end of August have arrived. The progress of improvement in this fine colony appears to be extremely rapid, of which, perhaps, the most striking instance is afforded in the pro- jected establishment of packet vessels, constructed after the manner of the Leith and Berwick smacks, to sail regularly between Hobart-town and Sidney, for the conveyance of passengers. A company had been formed for this purpose at Hobart-town. The Berwick, a passage vessel for Van 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 unfortunately perished. These cattle were of the approved breed, and in consequence of the very serious loss sustained, as well to the oolouv as to the individuals concerned, a legal investigation *was likely to take place on the subject. We are glad to perceive that proper protection is given to the passengers on their voyage to this colony, by giving them damages in the law courts in cases of neglect or ill-treatment of the captain. Three ar- tions for such conduct were brought in the Lieute- nant Governor's Court against the Governor of the Berwick, in all of which verdicts were given for the plaintiffs. It was in contemplation to establish a bank at Hobart's-town. AL thelndia House, on Wednesday, a discussion of great interest took place, but of a nature so de- licate, that we touch it with the utmost caution. A rumour has been lately circulated, that the Court of Directors, having discovered an embezzle- ment of 350,000): by the late Governor General, were taking steps for the impeachment of that nobleman. The report however false, seemed to derive some authority from the fact which has be. come notorious, that for some cause, the Directors have resolved to withold from the Marquis of Hastings the pension of 5.000i.per annum, proposed .at the Court of Proprietors.—In this state of the ,affair, some of the noble Marquis's friends thought fit to demand from the Chairman of the Court of Directors a solemn contradiction of'the. charge. The Chairman, however, (Mr. Wigram), resting upon the strictly ministerial character of his office' maintained a pertinacious silence. Two Directors, Mr. Eiphinstone and Mr. Patterson, exculpated the -late Governor General from any dishonourable imputation; and a letter from the Directors' Se. cretary, to the same effect as their testimony, was rea at the meeting. It is obvious, however, the matter cannot rest here.-St. Jumtis Chronicle. A meeting was held on Wednesday at the City of London Tavern, Sir Clias. Price, Bart in the chair, for the purpose of further petitioning Parliament against the duty on seaborne coals.3 Alderman Wood, M. P, Mr. W. Williams, M. P., Alderman Bridges, M. P, and Mr. T. Wilson, M. P., were among those present. Several gentlemen addressed the meeting, describing the hardships of the tax on *he counties receiving their coals coastways, and which indeed, are not denied by Government. Ultimately a petition to Parliament was agreed on. On Thursday last, a Court of Common Council, Avas held, when Mr. Alderman Wood proposed a 1 etition to the House of Commons for the repeal of the duty oi 05. lod. per cbaldron on coal« Mr Alderman Heygate said the repeal of the "tax on Coals would be ot no benefit to the public, unless a Competition were raised in the market bv the in- I Production of inland coals.—Mr. Alderman Wood «aid the repeiil (If the duty would have the effect ot throwing the market open.—The Petition was cirried. His Majesty left Brighton on Thursday, accom-' panied by Marquis Conyngham and Sir W.Knighton, for Windsor. The widow of Prince James Stuart, the late Pre- tender, died on the 29th of January at Florence, at the age of 72. She was allowed 2,0001. a year by the English Government. The sum of 2 500,000 in specie, being the amount of the Austrian Loan, which was landed at Dover on Friday last, has arrived in safety at the Metropolis. It is, we understand, determined that the Ionian Islands and Malta shall hereafter be separately administered. Sir Frederick Adam, we hear, is to have the command of the Ionian Islands, and Malta is to be offered to the Marquis of Hastings, with 60001. a year. The University Pitt Scholarship at Cambridge, than which there is no higher classical honour to be attained, has been unanimously adjudged to Mr. B. H: Kennedy, of St. John's College. The Right Hon. Thomas Wallace was on Thurs- day unanimously re-elected, free of expence, Member for the Borough of Weymouth. We have not space for an account of the proceedings on the zl occasion, but we have much pleasure in stating' that the observations of the Right Hon. Gent. with respect to the present condition of the country, were the most gratifying. Thomas Jervis, Esq. is appointed Puisne Judge of Chester, and Horace Twiss, Esq. is nominated Counsellor to the Admiralty and Navy, in the room of Mr. Jervis. Considerable contracts have been entered into within the last fortnight for steam-engines and other machinery by the Anglo-Mexicati Mining Association. The Neath Abbey Company, Messrs. Walker and Co. of Staffordshire, and Mr. George Stephenson, of Newcastle, we understand, are the contractors. It is in contemplation to form a Society in Glas- gow for the purpose of paying the expences of those who may be prosecuted for what is termed Jibel; or who may be selected as objects of vengeance by any confederations assuming the powers and func- tions of the King's Law Officers, In the Court of King's Bench, on Wednesday, Mr. Russet obtained a rule to shew cause why a criminal information should not be filed against Sir Charles Wolsely, Bart, for a libel on George Chetwynd, Esq. M. P. Chairman of the Stafford Sessions. The letter complained of is the same as that inserted in the British. Press, and was copied into the Litchfield Mercury at the desire of Sir Charles. The Court granted a rule. The sentence upon Mr. Hunt for publishing the Vision of Judgment, has been puL off by mutual consent. Mr. Elliot, the Missionary, arrived at Portsmouth on Thursday, from Demerara. His stay in this country is said to be only temporary; he has left his family in the colony.— Martial law was to cease in Demerara on the 8th of January. The holidays had passed over in a peaceable manner. Two men named James Lamb and Patrick Patten have been apprehended in Ireland, charged with the wilful murder of a boy named Charles Orton, of Spon-street, Coventry, in September last, and they are to be removed to the gaol of that city for trial at the ensuing Assizes. On Friday se'nnight, Mr. Hancock, ofTregondale, Menheniot,lost two fine rams in the following man- ner:—The rams were coupled together by a chain round their necks, and turned out to graze in a field wiih a colt little more than twelve months old. in the morning as Mr. Hnllock went round to view his flock, he found the rams suspended by the chain across the back of the colt, quite dead. The colt, it is supposed, had laid down, and the rams in grazing passed the chain across him, when rising suddenly he must have taken them up with him. The colt was little injured, except exhaustion by fatigue. A curious coincidence occurred in Doctors' Com- mons on Tuesday last, probate (of a. will) was actually granted to two executors, named J. Thurtell and Joseph llunl, not at all connected with the parties concerned in the late infamous murder of Mr. Weare. A noted horse-dealer lately remarked in a room at Aylesbury, where women were the topic ot con- versation, Well, ior mv part, I always keep clear of a grey horse and a handsome wife. It is next to impossible to keep the former than, and it is a difficult matter to keep the latter honest." When the Btitish troops went into garrison at Antwerp, in 1815, they found the streets excessively dirty. To their complaints of the filthiness and unwholesomeness of the town, and to the repre- sentations of the necessity of cleaning it, the magistrates answered, with offended dignity, that u the city of Antwerp was clean." The British Commandant then ordered our soldiers to sweep the streets, and to pile up all the dirt against the houses of those magistrates who with so much pertinacity maintained that the city of Antwerp was clean. The mountains of dirt collected by the soldiers in one morning blocked up the windows, ws, and it was with difficulty the magistrates conlci get out of their doors. When they did, however, they immediately bestirred themseives, convinced by more senses than one, that the city of Antwerp was not clean; and they ever afterwards took care that the streets should be regularly swept.■—Nar- rative of a Residence in Belgium inIS15.-The town is now one of the cleanest in Europe.

It not oniy deprives us of the expected gratification, but it renders us unfit for and out of humour with every ot her-it makes us think our society not worth having, which is not ttie way to make us delighted with pllr own thoughts—it lessens our self-esteem, and destroys our confidence in others and having leisure on our hands (by being thus left alone), and sufficient provocation withal, we. employ it in rip- ping up the faults of the acquaintance who has played us this slippery trick, and in forming re- solutions to pick a quarrel with him the very first opportunity we can find.
