General Colville has, by an Order of the Day, c i a o the 29th of March,,informed all persons under his command, that from the following day they are biddea to hunt with packs of hounds or grey. houn ds, or to fire, except upon straggling birds (siteasx de passage). He has ordered that no game hha u b e purchased for his table after that day, and b o pes that all Officers and other persons'attached to h i s ar vi will exactly conform to his intentions. J . BRUSSELS, APRIL 13. L e tters from Cambray announce that the Prevotal cow which holds its Sittings at Laon, has been so. leer ily installed. -It will begin its proceedings by L og several persons accused of having in the tie tof the Aisne, in Champagne, and in Picardy, n/ attempts to excite the inhabitants to rebel : Oast the Royal Authority. The first cause to be I nd by the Court regards some cannoniers of Bona. prte's old guard. Mean time the evil disposed con. ill* to alarm the minds of the people of the country a d to spread all kinds of false reports, which - are awe received and credited with avidity. The same letters state, that General Travot has been removed N O Castle of Nam. Very strict orders have been received there to observe the most exact surveillance. The pest of the Ex-Archbishop of Malines is indefa- Isable; besides the Thirty-first of March, we learn that he will shortly publish another production which is said to be very piquant. . A person to whom the Prelate has communicated his manu script, assures us that this book is well calculated to make its fortune . in the present circumstances. —lt is a parallA between the individuals wko have just been exiled from France, and the ancient emi grants who have returned to that country, with notes coatiining facts, nearly or wholly unknown. M. de Pratt is said to chew still less Christian charity in this wick than in his preceding ones. SEDAN, APRIL 2. Tire O,cc! of Brussels has for some time made its particular business to publish news in which the con duct of the Prussian troops in France is calumniated. We are the more astonished at this as the contrary of these accounts is every where the case. We can aErm, that the inhabitants of the departments of the Meuse, and of the Ardennes, (which the Oracle particularly specifies), are so contented with the dis cipline of the troops, that several plates in this neigh borhood have already begged the Commander to leave them the troops they have among them, in case 1 any change should be intendedin the cantonments. Some Paris Journals have also inserted some re tu:As n airist die troops eantotiett in a little town in tke lipartment of the Meuse ; but after the strictest oimination, it has turned out that the complaints were partly unfounded, partly much exaggerated ; and if there has hen any misunderstanding, the oa4uct of the troops has not given occasion for it. . STUTICAIth, APRIL 7. . News has been received, by express, that their ighnesses the Prince and Princess Royal arrived at Tarsaw GU the 2Stii March : they were expected at Dresden on the 10th inst. and will probably be here vti tit 171.1 i CI idtb7—they enjoy very good health.

All these troops are in the best erintEtion, and have very few sick. Each corps is furnished with an uncommonly fine train of artillery, abundantly provided with every thing necessary. It issupposed &it the great reviews which have been announced, will take place in the beginning of May. Tie best understanding continues to prevail between the Russians, the English, and the inhabitants. A fire lat-1y broke out in a very large village near Mutes, which would infallibly have been destroyed ballet the Russian troops hastened to the spot, and by their intrepidity stopped the progress of the flames. The Prince of Aremberg is named Governor of South tratunt, General Evers commands the division of "emburt, Namur, and part of liainault. Halifax Papers to the 22,1 March, Boston to the 310 4 and Philadelphia to the &h, have reached Tuwo, bat their contents are not very interesting.

Miu Natio, whose abilities both as an itc!rec3 and I a singer were duly appreciated by the whew she first appeared mi the Loudon Stage ablut three months since, has at last completed her country en gagement, and assumed, last night, at this Theatre, the part of ito:elia, in the charming Opera of Love in a Ville e. Tie return of this young Lady in the plenitude of lie.lllll, beauty and talent, was hailed with rapturous applause' by the audience, and the manner in which site exerted herself prure-I her fully entitled to the approbation with which she was reteiv ed. She now keeps the promise which her first eft.-t ts held our. Her vuice has increased in ;rower, and her execution, if passi!.ie, in elegance. The sonl of melody WAS breathed in all her sfinAs, hut the Its multuotn applause e.itli which she wss iewarded, was not confined to her vocal excellencies. \v, have already remarked, that were Miss NAstr to forsake the service cf the Operatic Muse, she would move in the very first rank among Thalia's votaries. The ease and elegance of her action last night, and the charming arid animated playfulness of her man. ner, especially in the scene in which sports with the o ld j us ti ce ' : Love, out only justified the opiii;on which we had expressed, but causes' it to be shared by the whole audience, and drew down repeated plaudits. Under every point of view, therekre, Miss NASA may be considered as one of the most valuable ac quisitions which Os •rheatre has made, and s':e can not fail proving of great and lasting a:traction. Comm, in nun.; 1111 , adQua, sang with the wires , taste and was several times rapturously en:ond. Dow. TON, as Justke Woodcock, Miss Poets as Lucinda, Mrs. Sraftns as Deburah Woodcock, Pmts and Mrs BBL. I..tray as Eustace and Hawthorn, supported their re spective characters with a degree of spirit, which rendered tAie whole performance one of the most effective we have witnessed. This piece was followed by the first representation of a grand Operatic Ballet, called Pitcairn': Island, and founded on the late discovery of the descendants of the mutineers of the Bounty, in a Smith Sea island. The plot of this interesting spectacle is of- the simplest texture. Two British ships land their crews, on the island, and find the only survivor of the mu rtineers, surrounded by a beautiful and numerous progeny of sons and daughters. Rejoicings and dances take place on the occasion, in which Mr. ObCAR BYRNE and Miss Surru displayed great ele gance . of attitude and grecetul activity of motion. The two daughters of the Mutineer, or.bland Patri arch, are, meanwhile, surprised,. with the nephew of the English Captain, by the savages of a naighbotg-- ing isle, but rescued by the valour of British tars. The savages are slain, and- the rescued maidens be stowed by their father on the lovers whom they have chosen. The , whole concludes by the departure of the ships, attended by the canoes of the natives. Splendour of scenery and a novel and tasteful ar rangement are throughout the whole conspicuously displayed ; but it is by much too long, and will be ren dered perfect by compression. The music, selected by Corm, shears both judgment and taste. Not- withstanding suite • ccasion4l opposition from the great length of the piece, it was ultimately announced in the midst of triumphal applause. BAZd * ing. . Since the establishment of the Banat, in Soho. square, under the patronage of Mr. Tenn's% others have been opened in various parts of London—a proof that this way of disposing of the products of in dustry is considered bent finial to the Community.— Indeed it is impossible to take a single turn through Mr. TuozTett's Bazaar. Without witnessing some por tion of the happiness and prosperity it has been the means of conferring on many respectable but dis tressed families. We have watched its progress, and our hearts have Leen gladdened by observing the im proved countenance of many of the venders.—Those faces which, at first, exhibited despondence, timidity, and, in some instances, indications of inadequate sus. tenance, are now cheerful aqd contented—and ezhi.' bit happiness and iinprovtd health. We informed our Readers. some time ago, that an attempt had been made to compel the persons ven ding goads at the Bazaars, to take out the Hawker and Pedlars Licence. Indeed we. believe that some of the individuals who sell in the Bond -street, or it& the St.Jamesis-street B.i ztar, had been fto frightened as to submit to this intpnsiti.in. Mr. TitoTrett, in beim!' of the iiklustrious individuals whom he patronizes, re sisted the claim ; took advice of the first Counsel on the case, and put the matter in such a train as to elicit the opinions of the Law °dicers nn the question. All the Law opinions were decidedly against the liability. _ Inh suasion having been laid against many of the persons who have phees In the Bazaars, and they being three weeks ago brought before Mr. FiaLutxo, of the Queen-square Office, he then said lie should let the case test until the present ti rte, to consider the matter, and that he would give it the most serious consideration. Yesterday evening the parties appeared to answer the charges preferred against them, wl.en Mr. Gun- NET appeared As Counsel for the Comm4bioners of Hawkers and Pedlars ; and Mr. PCX)LEY for the de fendants. . Mr. GURNEY addressed the Magistrate, and said, I am employed professionally, not to put dawn llaz tars, hut to see if they are mit siihject to take out their licenses to enable dr= to deal in the man ner thy do, to ;it them on a level wit:i shopkeepers, who are wider the n:cessity t paying tales of every description ;—for I contend, if those persons are allowed to cail'hit tlyir articles, and are not subject. ed to taxes, as shopkeepers 4re, it most certainly will be not only to the injury of such shopkeepers, but iinally to their destruction." It was previously to going into the examination agreed, that one case should sufii,e for all, and that they would concur without appeal to the decision of Mr. FIFLDINO. Mr. GURNEY.—The case we have selected is that of the son of Mr. Lord, in Cheapside, who lives in the city, keeps a shop there, and every morirug brings the goods from the shop to be'' At the Mallet. The facts were then proved by a witness, and attet arguments of Counsel— Mr. FietniNci said. " When this case was brought before me, some time ago, f took three weeks to con sider carefully how the law affected permits occupy ing places in the Bazaars. 1 have, ifs the interim. 1 hope; used my time well. The &detain institutions : :ilyears. twos Mr hest wishes, for though t'iey may be to the injury of a few shops in their nen•2t,b:;urhoctj, yet the result will be of the highest impoitance to the comr•. m tnity, it will, in :ny opinion, prevent that disagreeable method of doing business . , whi.:ll is now too generally resorted to by shopkeepers in this great towis, by asking mare for their goials than they ex pect to. receive tor thcro. In my opinion, it is an insult to offer a person a less sum than he asks for Lis articles ; and what I highly esteem the BAZAAR. for, " their never taking fess for their goods than they first n.lt the buyer for them." That he had,. since the former examination, - refused to receive the ophihso of many eminent Lawyers. I r Trotter had called upon h;:n ; also his young f end, Mr. liar nett, rho waited uposi him, with ►he opinion of the Attorney and Solici:or Generals; that he had refus. et,' to rec&va or read any opinion, that he might not be biassed in his decision. lie would now give his opinion of the case bet.ve him—" That persons coming Irons Ciierpside to Westniimtet were not travelling from to wit to town, as the town of London included Westminster ; they were but one town, though called by two names—fur we are not out of Lot:don► when in Westminster. There are but two classes of persons subject to the penalty ; those going from town to town, exposing gtiods for sale, and those that !;() to other men's 11.. uses, offering to sell (there require two different Acts of Selling); and as the pa: ties, in my opinion, do neither, my decision is, that they are not liable to be convicted, but exempt from the hawker's di►ty, and so are all institutions of a similar description." BOW-STREET.4—COMBINATIoNs.--Yesterday William Bond loft, Pearce Egan, Henry Ham. William Rowland, Auld Uenryyßeridge, journeymen printers, were brought to the Odi,e by Peekes, charged with wilfully and tpaLciously enJeavouring to prevent Job Sy mons, a journeyman printer, trona working for Mr. ABRAHAM JOHN VALNY, a master printer, in Took's ejurt. Mr. HA MU attended for the prisoners, and took an objection to the information laid against the pri. ' soners, which Mr. N4aas and Mr. BIRNie, the sitting Magistrates, allowed to be fatal to the proceedings, and the prisoners were discharged. 'Ckarlu Hall, 4rchicald ;Filter, and ll illiam Kel?9, three well known characters, were charged by Bond, belonging to the Office, with being found in Charles street, Covent airden, at two o'clock, yesterday mor ning, in company with two others, who made their escape, for the purpose of committing robberies.— They were committed for further examination. UNION . HALL.—The prevalence of gambling hav ing greatly increased among the lower orders of per sons, the officers have been on the alert to apprehend offenders of this description ; accordingly they went in pursuit of three offenders in this line of unlawful traffic, and yesterday, in the road near Camberwell, May and Guff apprehended Sarah Short, Mar" Bright, and Jobs White, whom they found surrounded by a number of foolish persons, plAying at the game of red cock, aad white cock, mod the necessary apparatus of a gambling table. The *se prisoners having nothing to offer iu• way nrdefence, were bound over to answer the complaint at the next Quarter Sessions. Robert Taylor, lane: Howard, and Hilliarn Sdlawn, were examined, on a charge of being concerned witu the other tanners, in the violent outrages cornotitt.-1 in the neigliblurbood of Bermondsey, as detailed in our Paper of yesserday. A variety of evidence was gone into to substantiate the alliyations of their con nection with the riotous assernalistK and artick upon the premises and person of Mr. Timbiell ; being establish e. the s ttislact;oa of the M4gistrat,, they were committed to answer the complaint.

The Earl of LivEneont. has been indisposed for about a week pAst, And has been confined to his bed nd chamber with the theturtatic gout in his kgs.

Postponements of Royal Mar:iages are not at all out of the common cause of things, hor Can they, excite wonder with any who consider in how many departments preparations are to be made, and how many forms are to be one through. The PRINCE or Otoasoe, previous to his marriage with the PRINCESS MARY, daughter of GEORUE 11. passed more than four months in England. Letters received yesterday from Cadiz mention the apprehension of great mercantile failures in that city. Some houses are known to have already failed. ?Madrid, by 111.2 last accounts, is perfectly trauquil. ,Emir of the conspiracy is no longer talked of ; mercantile distresses absorb every other considerations for the present. In consegnence of the late failures of three consi derable houses in the commercial world at St Peters burgh, a Russian House of ensioence in the city was yt-sri.-ruay under the necessity of suspendin% their payinvots.
