We expect with impatience the pUblication of this object of respect end veneration: A Ithougl.

The English army his concluded its embarkation at Calais. Every where in Italy they are establishing Convents of Jesuits. The number of Novices is already very considerable. The Court of Baden, one of the two Powers of Germany which had not subscribed the Act of the Confederation of Vienna, has acceded to this pact. It is said that the Emperor of Russia Berlin, to take a journey to Warsaw , afterwards to Berlin, and from thence to visit Holland. It is said that Marshal Soult will establish his resi dence in Prussia. The Reso:ution of the Chamber of Deputies rela t;Ye to the taking away the pensions of the married Clergy, was carried up to the Peers yesterday. There has been arrested at•Clterbourg a fortune-tel.. ling woman, who had tried to spread alarming reports. . CHAMBER OP DEPUTIES, FEB. it. The Coupt de Mangum will develope in the Se cret Committee of Wednesday the 21st, a proposi. Lion to beg his Majesty not to defer the time of his Coronation. PARIP, PEBRVARY 41. The Due de la Chatre, lite. Ambassador at Lon don, is appointed First Gentleman of the Chamber, in the room of the Duke de Rohan, deceased. An action of damages was, to have been tried a few days since, brought by a Spanish Lady (Miss Goursales) against Marshal Soult, the mock Duke of Dalmatia. This Lady asserted, that the Mar shal, having abused his authority while in Spain, to force her into the service of the French, she thereby lost her whole fortune, and justly came upc Soult for an indemnity. Whether Miss Gougesles disco vered that her demand was ill founded, or rather an arrangement had been come to between the parties, we know not, but the attornies on both sides have drawn up, by common consent, an opiniins, which awards a judgment in favour of the Marshal. The hand-writing of the documents alluded to, as being found in the possession of the ez•conventionalist and murderer of his Sovereigns, Courtois, has been recognized by tfee Royal Family to be authentic; t'.ey have: been entrusted to a clever engraver, sia:ike ;mkt. of them. • 1-11 I last Wiil and Tes•-ment vi the Queen, written foor dos before her de: but which he had carefully concealed ever since.. D4'chess of Angnuleme has sent to the Dutche. Tom-genes the hair of Louis XVII. found along with the letters of his august Mother. From Milan we learn that the Emperor of Austria will not go to Rome, on accOunt of the differences which exist between his Majesty and the Holy Father. Coent Nugent, Commander of the forces of the kingdom of Naples, has been created a Prince. We believe he is a native of Ireland. The Jews at Berlin lately endeavoured to establish a new synagogue, but the King peremptorily forbid it. It yet remains unknown when the Diet of Frank fort will assemble. The Doke de Damas Crux has taken his oaths, on being elevated to his new title. - M. Regnault has been appointed by the Institute, Director of the French School of Arts at Rome. It is easy to see what progress the French have made in the arts by comparing the new pieces of 40 francs and S francs with those struck SO years ago. On Monday several thieves, condemned to the sal lies, were exposed tor an hour to the public previous to being sent off ; two of them had the audacity to state that when their five years were expired they would return and rob as usual. Surely such scanda. lous behaviour deserved further punishment. The Ambassador from a great Power was lately refused admittance to a public ball at Frankfort be. cause he went in boots. Can this be nisi-named eti quette t Great preparations are making at Madrid for the reception of the Princess of Portugal, who is to re ceive the kand of Ferdinand VII. _ _ _ The Minister of the Grand Duke of Baden deli {eyed his credentials at the Thailkries on Monday. A code of civil and criminal laws is now preparing 'by a Commission in Poland. The Grand Duke Constantine was hourly expected at Warsaw when the last accounts came away. The King of Prussia has conferred the Order of the Black Eagle on the Duke of Wellington. A young man (the son of a Lieutenant-Generall who has lost an arm and a leg in the service of his country, and a Commander of the Legion of Honour, icc.) was condemned to eight years hard labour, on Monday, for having robbed an Englishman of his trunk at a furnished hotel: the father offered to pay the value of what his misguided son had stolen, which was agreed to, but the -Officers of Justice heard of the affair, and brought him before the Tribunal.— The spectators in the Hall "appeared greatly to corn . eniserate his unfestnnatt situation. The Royal Volunteers of the 10th Legion of the National Guard of Paris, have presented their Cap-. gain, M. Agier, with a handsome sword, in the place if that which he broke at the bead of bis Company, on the 20th Of March last, when the perjured traitor cteclared for Bonaparte. BERNE, FEBRUARY It A Basle Paper tells us, that a person coming from France, who too,k the name of Montantier, and ano ther Trench traveller, have been arrested at the Ho tel 01 la Cictlgue, as presumed accomplices in pro k.cts tending to disturb the Wet Andtranquillity of f • Tram*. The fate A, lived eireenietaseee had' caused-that' to be:suspected. One of them, .ealeri Joseph Moerard, had been Intendant of the Ex• King Jerome, on whose account be hitd been travelling in France and Italy. The second- is called Hogner, and had accompanied Molinari in the last journey. Both have been released upon the examination of their papers.

THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. SATURDAY : FEBRUARY 24, 1816. BT.lAstrnms.-44falltb7 at tits Haab. -.Last night the Paris Papers of Tuesday, and this morning thosb. of Wednesday, arrived. Their con tents are comparatively unimportant. Two singular causes at present occupy the attention of the French Tribunals. A Spaaith Lady, who was riskiest its bog private fortune by Monsieur Sousa, followed him to Paris; and instituted a suit against him for indemni fication. It appears that Sourr very wisely com promised thii affair. Thousands and tens of thou sands of similar actions might have been with justice brought against him, founded upon the precedent of a first conviction in such a case. The other case is of a scandalous nature. The late Marshal LANNES. aim Duke of Motireaet.t.o, was once, as our Readers all know, a private soldier. Ia this humble sphere, he contracted a marriage with a common follower of the camp, who bore him a son of questionable legiti macy. Subsequently, LANNILS married a lady of Bottirattre's selection, by whom be also had is son. ' The two mothers are now at issue on the subject of the respective claims of their children. The Duchess of MONTUILLO sbe calls herself), or the second wife of LANNES, bas adduced_ abundance of disgust ing evidence before the tribunals that the first wife lived in a state of prostitution during the absence of LAWN in Egypt, and about the period of the birth of his child. Ia the plenums* of DONAPARTeI power, however, and setting at defiance all the laws of civil society, LANNIM married his second wife, without divorcing the first. We apprehend, therefore, that the old maxim of the Civilians, Pater ut pen naptio &most 'trust, will hold. ood in this case, and oust the Soo of the second wife from his Peerage and posiessions. A liamburgh Masi which arrived to-day, brought us a sung; of l'Apen from the - WriEnsuy to the 17th instant, from which we Lave rnade the fol- lowing selections : WARSAW, FEBRUARY & The Nobility gave, the day before yesterday, a splendid ball, and the Merchants a dinner yesterday, in honour of Senator Lands-Kroy, formerly Russian Governor of Poland, who is greatly beloved here, having been always extremely kind to the inhabi tants, and supporting them to the utmost of his power ' when the country was in a critical situation. Several Polish officers are gone to the Ukraine, to purchase horses for the Polish cavalry. By a Decree of thee Viceroy, General Zajonczek, the kingdom of Poland is divided into eight provinces, or liraiwothhifir. viz, Cracow, Sandon►ir, Kalisck, Lublin, Plozk, Masovia, Podlachia, and Augustow. The capitals are of Cracow Miechow (the free city of Cracow and its territory being excluded from that province) of Sandomir Radom, of Kalisck Lublin, and Plozk, the town of the same name ; of Moravia Warsaw, of Pedlachia Siedlec, and of Augustow Suwalki. In these capitals will be the seats of the Commissioners, formerly Prefectures. .The Kingdom of Poland consists, according to the present organization, of 39 circles, which contain 77 districts; the circles, in many instances;containing several districts. The tenants in the Saxon Palace have received order to quit immediately, to make room for the Staff of the Commander-in-Chief of the Palish *my, and for the Polish Commandant of the city. It is said that in future a part of the Polish army will, in time of peace, be alternately discharged, upon fur lough, for a limited time, in order both to save ex- pense, and' ive encouragement to agriceltare. Commissioners are now employed in drawing up; civil and penal code for the Kingdom of Poland.--. The plan will be laid before the Diet. Prince Con stantine is shortly expected back from St. Petevabargh. HANOVER, FEBRUARY 10. The following is the Address presented by Coun cillor Meding, in the mime of the'States, to his Royal Ilighness the Duke of Cambridge.: N MOST ILLUIISIOVS DOLL..-111012* ORAMOVi Paint% 44 The assembled States of the. Kingdom of Hann - in would think they neglected their most sacred and agreeable duty, if, at the moment when the victori ous English German Legion returns to its country, and makes its solemn entrance into the capital, they did not offer to it the tribute of their admiration and gratitude. If, by its universally acknowledged he roism and persevering bravery, it has cooperated in the object now so gloriously accomplished, and has atquired the admiration of the present generation and i.of posterity; the approbation of lvs itoyal Highness . 0 the Prince Regent. on? 3overeign, and the thanks's' 'of the great English nation, it ow a great part of these distinguished rewards tO your Royal Highness, its chief, by whose indefatigable zeal and favour of this distinguished core, it was 'rendered possible for it to gain this high degree of glory in the ever Me.' mutable campaigns in the Spanish peninsula, and, if Possible, to heighten it in the battle of Waterloo. “ Deeply penetrated with sentiments of respect and gratitude towards your Royal Highness, the 1 Chief of the English Hanoverian Legicin, the assem bled States of the Kingdom of Hanover venture to repeat these sentiments, and to request your Royal Highness to be pleased to express these feelings which animate the States to all the Generals, Miss, Subalterns, and privates of the English Hanoverian Legion, on their joyftil return to their comity, anti their solemn entrance into the Capital, and to add the assurance that the assembled States of the Kingdom 'of Hanover will never forget the great services of this distinguished corps, by which the Hanoverian name bas been so highly honoured, and will always consi der the moment of its return to their country as one if the happiest and most joyful epotths in the annals of our history. . 14 The States venture likewise humbly to request your Royal Highness to repeatto all the Royal Hano verian troops the thanks tocshe States, for their distin guished conduct in the last glorious campaign, and 1 their lively joy at their speedy and •happy return to their country." His R 0741 Highness answerei this address! in the most gracious terms, and took upon himself to communicate to all the troops the sentiments of gra titude expressed by the States. His Royal Highness fcrther observed, that "it was a peculiar pleasure and satisfaction to him, that as Hanover could never forget how much England hand done for it, the Hanoverian: had on their side greatly contributed to the gaining of the •ictories, by means of which England bad attained its present ele vation of splendor and happiness. • HANOVER, FEBRUARY IS. The five cavalry regiments of the Legion wiU be received in the service of Hanover. Each regiment ,will be reduced to 400, and increased every year with 44 men, till they are on the full peace establishment. The time for which the men are enlisted is ten years. The artillery will consist of two companies on horse back, and ten on foot, and be divided into two bat talions: the Engineer corps will forth the 3d battalion. HAMBURGH, FEBRUARY It. Yesterday morning was the severest cold we have had this winter. it was at 15 of Reaumur. Within three days the Elbe was frozen with such thick ice. that passengers and sledges now traverse it in all directions. The Pope :ng pmnotinced the dissolution of the first marriage of the Crown Prince of Bavaria, it is no more doubted bin his first wife, the Princess ebtricrte Aoßngta-ot ite o so Italian Savereig-,. biota ' —The rumour that the REGENT has experiencea a relapse of his indisposition, is erroneous. His ROYAL HIGHNESS'S weakness in the ankle joints certainly continues, but the complaint is entirely local, and is approaihing, though slowly, to perfect convalescence. The PRINCE Leopoixt or Cosouaou and suite, arrived at the Pavilion yester day evening. Wednesday morning, a Messenger arrived at the Foreign Office, in Downing -street, from Lord CLAN CARTY at Frankfort. Thursday night, Mr. MEATS'S, the King's Messenger, arrived from Milan. Mr. LATCHFORD also arrived with dispatches from Paris. By the same packet, Lord Ge ,, ltGE LENNoX and the present Earl of BuceixonAstsions arrived in Eng land. They had nearly all been lost by the vessel getting among same rocks in a great fog, which un expectedly came on. A Meeting of the inhabitants of Bastor. and its vicinity, convened by the desire of several Gentlemen, was held on Tuesday evening at the 'White Hart Inn, in that town, to take into consideration the propriety of petitioning Parliament against the continuance of the Property Tax. A number of ResolutiOns, in consonance with the object of the Meeting, and a Petition founded thereon, were agreed to. Meetings of the inhabitants of Chatham and Sand wich have been held, in order to consider of Petitions to Parliament against the renewal of the Property Tax, when several Resolutions to that effect were unanimously resolved on. The Meeting at Bristol, to petition against the Property Tax, was most respectably attracted than any known in that City for many years. All sider recces of political opinion were compromised in op position to this hateful system of taxation. The Re solutions were moved by Colonel-BAUM, and most ably supported by Sir H. FROTHY/10; and passed unanimously. The Sheriff of Monmouthshire has convened a Meeting for Thursday next, at the requisition of nearly 'every Gentleman of property in that County. Requisitions for calling Meetings in Glamorgan. shire, Gloucestershire, and other Counties, are like wise it progress : and se universal is the dissatisfac tion that prevails, in contemplating the re-enactment of this oppressive tax, that we believe every County in the Kingdom will instruct its Representatives to oppose it. A meeting has been held at Lynn, in Norfolk, the above subject; and strong resolu.ions entered into. A Meeting has been also held at Oxford on /the same subject. ELOPSIORNT:—A great sanitation bas bees excited at Chelten ham, by the sudden disappearance of a young Lady, who is sole presumptive heiress to more than one large fortune The young Lady is supposed to have taken the road to Scotland with en Irish Gentleman, pretty well known in the tasidunabk circles, who dis appeared at the same time.
