i ~~ v 4ace • XNavy Estimates - (night to be postponed for the convenience of uny Member. Mr. FORBES knew that Twiny iMportant rtm ►rks were to be made on the Estimates, and he wished they might be postponed. Lord CASTLEREAGH observed, that Gentle, men might make their objections in another stage of the business. The first, Resolution, for allowing £44;864, to de fray the expenses of the Navy Pay Office, being read. Admiral MARKHAM said, he shbuld tate upon him the duty of an Honourable Friend (Captain Pellew)"who was now absent. He then made several ejections to parts of the estimates in their present 'shape. He complained that the widows of Naval Officers were not on the same footing with the wi• doors of Militai•y Officers in regard to their pensions. Sir G. WAR-RENDER' cilled the Hon. Member to order, as it WAS understood that this point was to be discussed-on another night. On the Resolution for young a sum for building Ships, Mr. BROUGHAM thought it his duty to bear testimony to the great attention ortaifested by Go vernment to tkis department, of the service. He urr -ckrstood that, scientific men were employed to direct the' structure of ships, so as to form them in the completest manner possible. Sir JOSEPH YORKE expressed great satisfac tion at the approbation of the non. Gentleman. • On.the Resolution for voting a sum for the Marines, Admiral MARKHAM conceived it vititlel be highly unwise to reduce the marines to so low a num ber as 6.000. It was impossible for him to praise that gallant corps too highly. The Resolutions were then all read, and agreed to. On a Motion made by the CHANCELLOR of the r, d CHEQUER for the House to gu,into a Committee of Supply, Mr. BROUGHAM drew the attention of the Hhuse to the salaries of the Lords Coalmissioners of the Admiralty—they were seven io number, of whom the, six puisne. Lords got ,tlOOO each, and the First Ldid 16.50Q0. 'nits he cohsidered bad economy, to Itndel pay the serviceable officers, and over-pay those who did noiliag.—(Hear, hear.) 4 , [The Honourable Member was proceeding on this subject,. when Mr. PONSONEY obsetwing that Mr. SPEAKER appeared • indisposed, .whispered to Mr. B4ononast, wl.o immediately sac down.] . Mr. PONSONBI then said—.o lam sure I speak the sense of the House when I advise the adjournment of this debase— ( Hear. hear.)• Mr BROUGHAM- 4, 1 should be extremely con cerned at being the cause of any inconvenience. I therefore movr, that thielicluse do now adjourn." . The SPEAKER—" I feel sensibly the kindness of the proposal, 'but I shall suff:r no inconvenience . in having the debate continned." The CHANCE• 1.4.011. of the EXCHEQUER however, Moved, th..t the wither consi,teration et the Report be postponc4 to Monday, which was agreed to. The other Orders of the aty were then disposed of, and the House adpurned till Monday. PARLIANk.NTARI PAPERS. PRESEN The following. is en account of Presents received by Persons in the °dices of - his Majery's Principal Secretaries of Seite, from foreign bovcreigns, in the years ended the 5:11 of January. 1815, and the 5:11 of January. 1816. (From Papers presented by order of the House of Commons. • These Presents, which with respect to the Secretaries of S:tise or Plenipotentiaries 'signing Treaties, are ovally snuff-boxes; with the por:rait of the Sovereign pre4etitmg the same, set in dia monds; and with respect to the Chancery Presents, are a fixed sum of money ; have been received in conformily with ancient usage, the occasion and amount from 'each Court being regulated by precedent. During the late Congress of Vienna, it appearing that the Treaty of Congress, as well as the Treaties of Alliance and Sub sidy to be accented to by the several Sovereigns of Europe, might lead to a great accumulation of Pren•nts, and. large expense, it Was proposed. on the part of Great Brltaat, to the other Plenipo tentiaries there yeembied. to adopr, um:er these circumstances, a special regulteion with respect to the exchange o f P resents be tween their respective Courts, which might obviate this lemon- !Stikine. The Plenipotentiaries adopted, in consequence of this sugges tion, a regulation restrictive of the Preseets which, by . 1 4.1oniatic sup, they would tieniselvea have been entitled - to receive; but they drained to apply this principle to the usual Chancery Pre sents, considering duns u constituting an acknowkdged part of the pecuniary profits of the employes in tl.cir re/pectin others A correapondini regulation with respect to Presents, took place hi the late aeauctations at Paris. Under die regulation above referred to, forty-live Treaties and conventions were signed ht the course of :he two last years, without the usual exchange of Preser.ts be.ween the Plenipoten tiaries of the respective Courts.

It is trot', indeed., that the funeral of the 'wicked is often. pro claimed by the deep tolling bell of the parish; but we never before . witnessed such a ceremony accom panied by a merry peal, of even one turret, and Much less of all the steeples of the Metropolis and neigh / The individual whose decease caused all this joy was Mr. Puttexwry Toxsest, a gentleman well known throughout the empire for his unfeeling and merciless exactions for a aeries of years. He laid every person, except placemen and pensioners, under a yearly contribution. Even these, to appearance, he mtde also to contribute, but he futnished them with the means out of the quota exacted from others. He at length beCame so troublesome as to occa sion a battle royal in Palace-yard between some of the populace and himself and his adherents, on the 18th ultimo, in which affray he got his death blow, to the great joy of the whole British nation. In many of the parishes in and, about London, the most respectable inhabitants had a public dinner to celebiate his departure. The Gentlemen assembled at Islington concluded the ceremonies of the day by burning the Property Tax Act, amidst the loudest acclamations, and a discharge of [Chinese] artillery. This morning we received the Paris Papers of Tuesday and Wednesday. Such extracts as seemed to be interesting are subjtined. The famous, or rather infamous cause between the rival Widows and their respective S see., of Vie late Marshal LANNES, has been dismissed front the Courts at Paris, and sent to the Provincial Tribunal at Agen, where the scene of the first Madame LANNES' marriage -Ja r . The iil•advised measure of perpetuating the title of Duke of Moxrzzax.r.o on the silt i •us issue of theinfamous LARNE% has caused A this litigation. Such is the detestation is which the French are held in Switzerland, that Count TALLEYRAND, their Minister there, has been under the necessity of offi cially remonstrating against the severity with which his countrymen are treated. Under pretext of expel ling the regicides and ocher revolutionary monsters from the Swiss territory, Frenchmen of the most in. offensive character and manners have been very roughly handled. All this treatment the French most richly deserve : why did they submit so many years to the infamous usurper, and the still more in. famous slaves of his will ; and that inflict so many miseries on Europe P4RIS, APRIL 3. Mnnduy morning, about one o'clock, two robbers escaladed, by means of a ladder, the wall of the inclosure of a house, Rue Assas, No. 11 ; and by breaking some panes of glass in the first floor windows, they got into the roan, where the master of the house, M. Therillon, a builder, was fast ashrep, with his wife. The villains, armed with poignards, approached the bed and demanded money. M. Therillon opened his secretaire and gave them about fifty pieces of gold ; they also took his watch from him, and not being sausfi d they forced him to open his commode : here he found two pistols, and discharged one at the rubbers, but it missed fire ; he then fired the other directly into the sine of one of the villains, who in stantly sprang out of the window into the garden, and once more got over the wall. His accomplice struggled hard with M. Taerillon, who succeeda in throwing him down. While this was going on, Ma dame Therillon leapt down from another window. fifteen feet from the giound, and cried " Robbers !" The other culprit then escaped from M. Therillon in the confusion ; but the other who was shot in the side his been arrested at the Hospital de la Charite, where he went to get his wounds dressed. He is not ex- petted to live. He had given M. Therillon's money to a woman with whom he lived at Gros Caillons. baL.Therillon was not much hurt. Some agitators hkvevirculated false news at Lille, which, thanks to the excellent spirit of the inhabi. tants, made no impression : a disbanded officer, who 'circulated these reports, was taken in the act, and conducted to the citadel. Two English soldiers, who had robbed an inhabi tant of St. Pol (Pas de Calais), have been arrested' by the gen d'arates. General Mouton Duvernet is much occupied in his prison, at Lyons, with preparing his defence. He is collecting all the documents, even the Journals, which may be useful to hint.

THE AR}IY. The Renfrewshire Regiment of Militia, after an absence of IS years, having returned to the county on Monday, the 13th of March, for the purpose of being disembodied, the Earl of GLASGOW, Lord Lieutenant, when present with the regiment at Paisley, on the 21st ult. directed a very honourable testimony from his Lordship to be inserted in regimental orders. The valiant corps of Scotch Greys, stationed in Canterbury, were drawn out in the Barrack Field on Monday morning last, and these brave men who were present at the glorious battle of Waterloo, were each presented with a Silver Medal, to commemorate their gallantry in that well fought field. Lientenant-Co lonel I. B. CLARK,. K.C. B. in presenting these badges of merit, addressed the regiment in an appropriate speech, calculated to excite the most impressive feeling on the event. The medals, to the number of 313, were alike distributed to the offi cers and men, and are to be worn on all occasions. They are about the size of a A.

Yesterday, about two o'clock. her MAJeSTY and the Pan:cusp left - the Queen's Palace for Windsor. According to a statement in Parliament, the poor rates of the kingdom amount to eight millions. We have no doubt that it will be found that the money raised, as poor-rate, amounts to that sum ;—but we very much doubt whether eight millions, or aoy thing Near eight millions, are actually expended on the poor; and we , hope the Churchwardens' accouhts, given in last year, will be very strictly scrutinized be fore the House come to any determination on the subject. Some of the accounts, which we hate seen, are drawn up in a manner calculated to hide 4e real ezpendityre of the money raised. • .

We understand, that in the Scots Appeal to the House of Lords, which involves the internal economr of a female boarding-house, and has excited can.i derable curiosity, the LORD CHANCELLOR has directed the Counsel to send their arguments in writing to his Lordship, who will then deliberate on them, aud give his decision also in writing. Oa the night of Tuesday, the 2d inst. as Captain WILLIAM Bi.aug, of the Nimble revenue cutter, and four of his men, were on duty in the vesca's galley, in or near Dover Roads, the boat was upset, and the whole met a watery grave. On the evening of Saturday the I Gth ultimo, abut eleven o'clock, three young men belonging to East Wemyss, Scotland, in attempting ta cioss the water . at Leven in a boat without oars, were carried away by the rapidity of the. current. When nearly out to sea, one of them leaped into the water, and cv.am ashore; the other two not having courage to follow his example, remained in the beat, and were caviled out to sea. In this perilous situation they remained till next forenoon, when they were picked up by a sloop between the Bass and Elk Ness, and e2ff;ta into Largo. They had been in the greatest danger, as the boat was leaky, and they had nothing . to cast out the water with but one of their shoes,bavtng lost the other . three, and both their hats ; they were be sides almost dead with cold.
