[Dec. 2, 
under arms during the night. One of the principal clauses 
of the capitulation is the disarming of the entire popula- 
tion without exception. The inhabitants are also to 
restore the streets and houses to their original condition. 
On the 21st General Sanz issued a bando, ordering a 
general surrender of arms within six hours on pain of 
death, and by the afternoon some thousands of muskets 
were deposited inthe Atarazanas and the Cathedral. The 
new municipality have been directed to number and class 
the inhabitants ; and to make a list of the damaged houses, 
and to whom they belong, including foreigners. By the 
evening of the 21st all the barricades had disappeared from 
the streets and most of the trenches were filled up. The 
Free Corps and National Guard of Barcelona have since 
delivered at the Atarazanas 500 muskets. Tranquillity is 
completely restored, the emigrants are returning, and the 
manufacturers are resuming their business. The Captain- 
General has gone in person to assume the command of the 
troops blockading the castle of Figueras, and has taken 
with him six battalions —From Cadiz we learn that several 
British travellers were loud in their complaints of what 
they characterized as a gross extortion practised on them 
at the British Consulate in that city. For getting their 
passports endorsed there to go to Seville for a day they 
were charged a dollar and a half (6s. 6d.), and the same 
on their return to Cadiz for the Consul’s visa to Gibraltar. 
They thus had to pay the sum of 13s. for absolutely no 
service whatever, while the charge of the Spanish authori- 
ties on both occasions for a real benefit was no more than 
3s. This disproportion has long been known and com- 
plained of by travellers in Spain, but it has now for the 
first time attracted the attention of the journals, and some 
hopes of the interference of the Foreign-office are enter- 
tained. 
. Porruca.—We have accounts from Lisbon to the 22d 
ult. The greatest tranquillity prevailed and all prospect 
of its being disturbed had entirely disappeared. Th 
Chambers were occupied with measures to cover the deficit 
of the current financial year, but the remissness of 
members caused a frequent failure of Houses. General 
Triarte and the Spanish troops who took refuge in Portugal 
are to be quartered in Oporto. An important communi- 
cation has been made by the Board of Trade in answer 
to arecent memorial from the merchants engaged in the 
Newfoundland trade. It appears that the Duke of Pal- 
mella and her British Majesty’s Government are at 
variance as to whether or not the propositions of the 
latter have been accepted or refused. The Board of Trade 
states ‘‘that the negotiations with Portugal. which were 
interrupted in April last, have strictly speaking not been 
revived ; that since the arrival of the Duke of Palmella in 
this country his Excellency has tendered to her Majesty’s 
Government statements intended to show that the British 
propositions had been previously to the interruption or 
breaking off of the communications in April last aévepted 
in their substance by the Portuguese Government, and 
that her Majesty’s Government are clearly of opinion, upon 
an examination of these statements, that the Duke of 
Palmella is in error in that supposition, and that this con- 
viction has been officially communicated to the Duke of 
Palmella.’”’ Lord Aberdeen has since made a similar 
communication. 
Germany.—-Letters from Vienna announce that Prince 
Michael of Servia was shortly expected to leave that city 
for Dresden. The Prince has amongst his suite the cele- 
brated writer Dr. Wuk and intends sojourning in that 
capital a great part of the winter.—The Greek society of 
Berlin, among whom are the most celebrated authors and 
artists of Prussia, contemplate giving a representation at 
their private theatre of the comedy of The I’rogs of 
Aristophanes. A newtranslation has been made of this 
piece by Professor Franz, and the music arranged by M. 
Kummer; costumes and decorations are now preparing 
from designs furnished by the most renowned artists. The 
Frogs was in the first instance intended for performance 
at the Palace at Potsdam, but the King si 
to M. Tieck, who on account of its cont: 
able passages did not advise its production. 
has now made several alterations and the first representa- 
tion is looked for with much curiosity. 
Irary.—lt was reported in Paris on Thursday that the 
Pope was taken suddenly and dangerously ill. In the 
present disturbed state of Italy, and especially of the 
states of the church, any change in the holy see is con- 
sidered important. Inthe meantime it is said in a letter 
of the 15th from the Roman states that the disturbances 
in the neighbourhood of Bologna and Ravenna have been 
put down.—A grand religious ceremony, the beatification 
of the nun Maria Franc of the five wounds, who died 
in 1814 in a convent at Naples, took place at St. Peter's, 
at Rome on the 12th inst. The preparations for this 
ceremony are said to have cost 100,000 Roman crowns, 
independently of the portraits of the beatified nun, which 
it is customary to present to the cardinals and the prin- 
cipal churches and convents.—The dugsbury Gazette 
publishes the following letter from Naples of the 2d of 
November :—‘‘It has been lately remarked that the 
British Minister has frequent conferences with the Minister 
of Foreign Affairs and numerous audiences with the King. 
It was at first thought that these conferences had reference 
to the treaty of commerce which is now so far settled as 
only to require the signature of the plenipotentiaries. But 
as the English flag would get a privilege of ten per cent. 
over other nations the King wishes as a compensation 
that the English Government close Malta against the 
Italian refugees who are now troubling the Peninsula. 
This is too delicate a matter for the British Cabinet to 
consent to, but the English Government are willing to 
keep a strict surveillance over the Italian refugees.”’ In 
reference to this subject a Malta paper the Portafoglio 
Maltese states that the disturbances in the Roman domi- 
nions are in a great measure owing to the Malta press. The 
Maltese papers have for the last three or four months tried 
everything in their power to excite the population of the 
Papal legations to insurrection and rebellion. The scarcity 
of public journals in the Papal States is well known, and 
advantage is taken of this circumstance to furnish intelli- 
gence from Malta by way of Ancona to Bologna, 
Ravenna and other cities in the Papal States.—It is said 
that the Princess who is about to marry the Duc 
d’Anmale is not the sister of the King but his cousin, the 
daughter of the Prince of Salerno. 
Grerce.—Accounts from Athens of the 10th ult. state 
that about 150 Deputies had arrived, and that the National 
Assembly was to meetina fortnight,but its legislative labours 
were likely to be somewhat delayed by about a dozen double 
elections in the Peloponnese, which must first be decided 
upon. The Council of Ministers was holding protracted 
meetings every evening, and the Ministers at the head of 
the different departments regularly transacted business 
with the King. The Continental papers state that whatever 
turn affairs may take in Greece, it is certain that France, 
Austria and England will oppose any attempt of Russia 
to overthrow the existing Government, nor will they per- 
mit the Emperor to exercise the same influence in Greece 
which he has established in Servia. 
Turkey AND Prrsta.—Letters from Constantinople 
announce that the President of the Council of Justice, 
Hafiz Pacha, bad been dismissed on the 8th ult., and re- 
placed by Achmet Fethi Pacha, brother-in-law of the 
Sultan. The Sultan’s object in adopting this resolution 
was to give satisfaction to England and France for the 
execution of the unfortunate Armenian. Letters had been 
received at Constantinople, announcing that serious dis- 
turbances had arisen in Albania and in Thessaly, and that 
an attempt had been made to set fire to Belgrade by the 
adherents of the dethroned Prince. The Rev. Dr. 
Wolff arrived on the 3d inst., and was only waiting for the 
necessary firmans and the arrival of Colonel Napier, who 
has volunteered to accompany him to prosecute his enter- 
prising expedition to Bokhara.—Letters had arrived 
from Mosul which state that the remnant of the Mountain 
Nestorians who had been enabled to resist the Kurdish 
invaders, joined by their fugitive brethren, have gained a 
complete victory over their oppressors, and succeeded in 
regaining much of the territory they had lost.—Letters 
from Teflis of October 12th announce the important fact 
that the Emperor of Russia had under pretence of encour- 
ging the commerce between the two countries, established 
a line of posts guarded by Cossacks from the Caspian 
Sea to the capital of Persia. 
Eeypr.—From Alexandria we have received the very 
important news of the death of Achmet Pacha, the late 
rebellious governor of Sennaar. His death is said to be the 
result of intermittent fever, though many surmise that it 
has been compassed by other means more in accordance 
with the Oriental administration of justice. The Pacha 
by this event is saved an expense and his people a san- 
guinary civil war. The Porte is said to have been bene- 
fited already by large sums remitted by Achmet to Reschid 
Pacha through Jerusalem in furtherance of his ambitious 
views. Emir Bey has been appointed his successor. It 
appears that Gallici Bey did not go to Suez to report 
again upon the ship canal from Suez to Pelusium, bat 
upon the feasibility of a navigable canal from Boulac to 
Snez through the desert, the superior altitude of the Nile 
at Boulac to that of the Red Sea at Suez ensuring a con- 
stant supply of fresh water, and possibly the means by 
irrigation of cultivating a large strip of land on each side 
where now is a sandy desert. 
Unitep Srarrs.—The packet-ship Patrick Henry 
reached the Mersey on Sunday after an 18 days’ passage, 
bringing 32 passengers and no less than 100 returned emi- 
grants ; her dates are to the 8th ult., four days later than 
the previous packet. Mr. Horsley Palmer is among her 
passengers. The Britannia steam-ship has since arrived 
with dates from New York to the 16th, Boston 17th, and 
Halifax 19th ult. The Caledonia was seen on her way 
between Halifax and Boston on the 18th, and the Acadia 
was spoken by the Britannia on the 26th, out seven days, 
in lat. 50, 5 N., long. 26,40 W. The New York and 
Liverpool liner Sheffield was lost off the former port 
whilst ingcharge of a pilot, in very rough weather, on the 
llth ult. The passengers were saved by great exertion 
and presence of mind, and the vessel subsequently got off, 
but with cargo greatly damaged. The annexation of 
Texas to the United States appears to be still a favourite 
scheme, and will it is said form a prominent subject of 
recommendation in the President's annual message, to 
be delivered the first week in this month, The papers 
bring an account of the death of Colonel John Trumbull, 
at the age of 87, He was an aide-de-camp of Washington 
in the War of Independence and afterwards became 
one of the first artists of the United States. The 
elections for the state and city of New York took 
lace on the 7th, and were in favour of the Whigs. 
The contest was more than usually exciting from the 
ear approach of the Presidential election, upon which 
it will probably have a considerable influence.—Mr. 
O’Connell is rising again into favour in the United States. 
A meeting to further repeal presided over by Colonel 
Johnson had been held in the Tabernacle in New York, 
and another meeting was held of still greater pretensions 
at the Park when the news arrived out that he had been 
arrested and was about to be prosecuted.—The yellow 
fever at New Orleans has been very fatal. The Herald 
of that city publishes the names and addresses of 692 per- 
sons, natives of England, Ireland, Scotland, and Germany, 
who have fallen by its ravages, exclusive of 132 persons

the same undisturbed control of her own estate after mar- 
riage which she had before, and prevents her property 
from passing out of her hands on marriage by mere opera- 
tion of law without ber consent. On the other hand the 
militia law of Rhode Island does not exempt females from 
performing military duty, and several have been arrested 
and confined for disobeying the said law. 
Canapa.—Our advices from Kingston are to the 3rd, 
and from Montreal to the 6th uit. The bill to secure the 
independence of Parliament had passed the Council by 2 
vote of 15 to 12. The Agriculturai Protection Bill had 
also passed the Legislative Council, to go into effect on 
the 5th January. It had also been decided by a vote of 
two to one, that Montreal is the only place for the seat of 
Government. To refer the decision to the Home Govern- 
ment was refused by a vote of 50 to 29. There have been 
remarkable doings in the Parliament of the province, no 
less than 13 members of the Legislative Council, with Mr. 
Morris at their head, having retired. It appears that in 
the House of Assembly an address to the Queen was 
adopted by a vote of 51 to 27, concerning the proposition 
made by Her Majesty to remove the seat of Government 
to Montreal. When the address came before the Council 
for their concurrence, a long and angry debate arose, the 
opponents of the bill contending that the bill could not 
again come before the Council during the present session 
without violating all Parliamentary rules, and setting @ 
dangerous precedent, it having once been finally disposed 
of, it was thought, for the session, and could not be 
brought before the Council without it was prorogued fora 
few days. The measure was insisted on, and the further 
discussion made the special order of the day for the 9thy 
when the Hon. Mr. Morris rose and said, that in view ©! 
their strange proceeding, it became his duty to record his 
protest, and retire from all further participation in the 
proceedings of the Council. He then bowed to the 
Speaker and the House, and retired, followed by Messrs- 
De Blaquiere, Ferguson, Crooks, Washburn, Sherwood, 
M’Ray, Dickson, Hamilton, Macanbery, Draper, M’Do- 
nald, and A, Fraser. Soon after they retired, the Council 
adjourned.—The transport Premier with troops on boar 
has been totally lost near Quebec, but the troops and crew 
were saved.

Scottish Hospital.—On Thursday being St. Andrew § 
Day, and the 178th anniversary of the Scottish Hospital : 
the annual meeting took place in Crane Court, the Du ig 
of Sutherland in the chair, supported by about 200 
Members of the Corporation, The Hon. Mr. Fraset 
opened the proceedings of the Court by tendering ie 
ignation ‘of the appoi which {he had held 
Treasurer for 21 years, when the meeting, which by oF 
time had become over-crowded, adjourned from the Hal 
into the Chapel of the Corporation. The Chairman au 
congratulated the meeting on the numerous attendance © 
the body, requesting that he might be permitted to resigh 
the chairmanship of the meeting, reserving to himself the 
pleasure of again presiding at the festival in the evening: 
The noble Duke then left the Court, accompanied by ae 
Hon. W. Fraser, and was succeeded in the chair by P- ve 
Stewart, Esq., M.P. It was then proposed by Sit Pete 
Laurie, seconded by Dr. Webster, and carried by accla=
