In the House of Lords last night, the Bill relative to the detentiun 01 BONAPARTE was committed, when Lord HOLLAND moved at: Amothnent, for securing to. the Ex-Emperor certain civil rights ! The enormous expense in keeping him in state did not excite his censure! It was imposed to allow to BONAPARTE h;s right of action. Vie thought the verdict obtained by the Duke of WELLINGTON in the last action had b:en anal ! T.ie Bill far settling the revenue of the Princess Cliattl.nrre of WALES, passed the House of Corn :tons ye%terclay,. when some conversation tot :k place up , in• it, and Mr. T 1 ERN EY enquired whether her Royal Highness would hold Drawing-rooms, but no answer was given on that point. _ The adjourned Debate, on Mr. WEsmittes Reso haliais, relative to the depressed state of the Agricul tural Interest, was last night resumed, in the House of Commons. The discussion was highly interest. ing, especially the remarks thrown out by Mr. BaoucHasi, v.hich embraced an extensive and lumi noes view of the subject, and which were received by the House with much and deserved attention. It teems to be now the general conviction cf the IsLmbers that the present distress cannot be attri buted to any single cause, but to various and complicated difficulties, the operation and pres sure of taxes, cccasi ned by a long war, the changes in the relative value of property, partly caused by passing Irons a state of war to a state of peace, the drain of a certain poi :ion of the gains of the curnmu city by imprudent speculations . to send goods to the German markets, the excessive rents agreed to be paid by :Gme speculators, wlio calculated en Coin being able to maintain the artificial enhancement occasioned by a state of war, and the lessening of the discounts of the Craintry Backs, £c. tic. The subject is roost important, and we are happy to see that it is entered on with temper ; for without a Lisle .ttenti‘.;:s to the :11uses which have orerated to rroduce t!te pres,:nt distress, the country would kw exposei ti all the dangers of quackery. Much of .e evil has been the growth of lime—operming with acceler tt!ng pow:r un accidental el: cumstances ; and to this pLr.ion lime alone, as remarked by Lord CAS- TsErtz.Lcar, can apply a remedy—and time will apply it, if its natural nperaticu be not procrastinatwel by injudicious enactments. Oa one point we &Icier greatly with Lord CAsTus ntauft. The present circumstances are just such as were originally an.icipatt d fur the tit application of the Sinking Kind to support the credit and prosperity of the nation. Let the whole powa and energy of this system he applied for a time to the its:it:ll4lg of the b.nthens of the people, and you will instantly remove eittcS of the present distress—and, at no very remote period, place the country in such a state of prospe rity as to enable you to u•vert to the fall operation of that Fund, to store up a future recourse fur future distress. In truth, whatever can must quickly restore general prosperity or remove general distress, will ever be found best adapted to support public credit. Sir BENaarala BenoistFrew and Baron HARDEN arcoEE, the Secretary to the Prince of Saxe CoIM2URO, arrived in London yesterday morning, from Hampton Court, his Se:ene Highness having left the Stud-house at that place, we understand, on his return to Brigh ton, wlier if. the establishment at the Pavilion is to be given up this day se'nniglit. Tir c _dtitnetities of the Princess CHARLOTTE of WtLEs who were employed on the establishment at Warwick House have Veit sent for, and are to be employed on the new establishment of her Royal Highness. Most of them are to be promoted to higher rank than they held on the WM' wick House establishment. Mr. PIIILLIPs, formerly in the employ of die late Earl of CiIEsTEREIELD, has been appointed Steward to her Royal Highness. There are to be eight footmen, tour coachmen, and helpers in proportion. The lide ries of the Priece of Saxe•Conotnto are to he dark bottle green, for the frocks, with' black collars and cuffs, and ornamented with gold lace in a similar manner to the Prince Regent's. The hats are the same as his Royal Highness's servants. On the but tons of the frocks the letters L. C. A great p.ir. of the jewel ery for the Princess CHAR LOTTE is in re id,aess for her nuptials. The arrange ments at pres,:nt are for the wedding being private, except the Royal Family, Ministers of State, &c. The reduction proposed in the Ordnance Estimates for the Peace Establishment, will save to the country, by retrenchments in the various branches of this de partment. upwards of 2E2,800,000. The Public will be rejoiced to hear tint there is an intention of bringirg a bill-into Parliament for laying a tax of twenty per cent. on the Property of all per sons voluntarily quitting Great Britain and Ireland, and residing in any foreign country, beyond a certain short time, to be specified in the Act. • 9. I NI • • t I '• FRENCH PAPERS. We hate received the Paris Papers of Sunday. They contain the trial of General DkOUET, BON A ranTL's Aide-de-cantp, and Governor of the Island of Elba. He has been Acquitted. He endeavoured to dissuade his blaster from his last rash enterprize, as appears by the evidence; and Marshal MACDONALD bore testimony to his correct and handsome conduct, when at the head of , the Army of the Loire. Ti.e case of Diocer is another proof of the artful and bar barous conduct of FOUCH E and those who klied up the names in the King's Ordonnance of the 21th July. Posterity wilL start with indignation to learn that such miserable pettifogging incapables as Nev, LA ISEDOVERE, DRBEI.LE, and DaOLJET, have been se lected for punishment, while Fowls, CAULAINCOU UT* CAMILICEILLS, and DAvousT—each " With meaty mortal murders oa his crown !'• are alive and in triumph ! The Paris Papers daily teem with criminal trials for the most atrocious assassinations; and disgusting cases of divorce and bastardy. On Saturday a wretch, one of the lime l'Empereur ! breed, was convicted of the assassination and robbery, under most aggra vating circumstances, of a poor shoemaker who had given him an asylum, with food and clothing ! The snme papers inform us that, in cuiviequenee of the KING and Chambers having declared it to. be their determinati to to put a stop to the frequency of di vorces, dr.! Rolls of the various T;ihunals h4ve been crowded with cases of this kind by patties who wish to be beforehand with the new Legislative enact ments. The two rival Duchesses of Montebello (the pot and the tea-kettle) have gone down to Agen with the young Dukes to try the cause there fir the amuse ment of the village quidnuncs. IARIS, APAII. 7. At the solemn - audience of yesterday, the Cour Royale of Paris registered the letters of pardon grant ed by his Majesty to General Detrell!, and com muting his punishment to tt n years' imprisonment. General Debelle t xpresscd himself in the following Leinis " GtntlemeU—l have been guilty of great crimes against the best of Kings : if ii had been my lot to surf; r, 1 should have wished that my death, bi fur nishing a great example, should have become useful to the repose of the State. But his Majesty has Coll.. LICSCCIIded to display his clemency towards ale : I pray HEAVEN that this spectacle of the paternal goodness of the King may rally around his thtune ..11 seduced Frenchmen, and that if ever the calm promised to France sh uld be disturbed, I shall be permitted to shed all the blood which is left me in the service of our good King. ,‘ Be pleased, Mr. President, to lay at the feet of his M ijr sty, the expressions of my profound grati tude, and my oath of fiddly until death." General DLbelle was then taken back to the Air ha!-c, and afterwards transferred to La Force. There was a rtmarkable discrepancy in the num ber of deaths among the allied troops in Pat is in 1815. 'Fite Russian army lost 23 men ; the Austrian army, 15 ; the Prusaan army, 151 ; and the English army, 1027. FIRST PERMANENT COUNCIL OF WAR. TRIAL OF GENERAL DROUET. Yesterday, the Council having assembled at eleven o'clock, aud the Prisoner having been brought in, M. Delon, as reporter, read the documents. The ti::,t was a letter Iron' General Drone' to the Mini :act of War, prevanis to going with Bonaparte to Elba, and in which he expresses his atrachtnesit to the ILTsorper, but professes great tkvotion fur his country. 'Drat clause of the Treaty of Fontainblearr was then read which dtclared, that all Frenchmen who followed Bonaparte to Elba should lose their quality as Frenchmen, if they did not return to France within three years. The depositions of the witnesses were then read : one M. Lacour stated, that having reproached Gene ral Drouet at Porto Ferrajo with his unwillingness to follow Bonaparte to France in 1815, Drouet observ. ed—" It is from esteem that I do not go with him : this departure is a great folly : if the Emperor tak . es my advice, ire will not leave his island." Another witness said, that Bonaparte, when walk ing on the deck of the ship which conveyed him from Port , : Ferrajo, observed, pointing to Drouet" If I had taken the advice of that wise man there, I would not have left Elba, but it was still more dangerous to remain at Porto Ferrajo." The Duke of Tarentum (Marshal Macdonald) spoke in the highest possible terms of Gen. Drouet. He said, that iLwas entirely owing to him, after Bonaparte's defeat at Waterloo, that the army of the Loire was so quietly disbanded. General Drouet rested his defence on the circum stance of his being a subject of Bonaparte, as Sove. reign of Elba, and never having received the pay of A French General during his absence from► France. At half-past eight in the evening, the Council de clared him not guilty :—three votes pronounced him not guilty, and four guilty ; but by the French laws in military tribunals there must be at least a majority as of five to two to.convict a prisoner.

Balance, from Havre and Cherbourg, bound to St. Alines with several families, passengers, to the number of eighty persons, besides the ship's couwpani, who intended to proceed thence to the Island of St. Pierre Matisselon, near Newfoundland, was wrecked on a ledge of rocks, called the Dirouelles, about two leagues Northward of this island ; when, melancholy to relate, one man and 35 women and children found a watery grave. The survivors of this heart-rending scene, among whom were several women and children, were conveyed from the wreck in boats, early nest morning, in the most deplorable and helpless state, to Itozel fay, where they were ac commodated in the Barracks, and had the most hu mane and unremitting attention shewn them by the detachment of the Sth Royal Veteran Battalion, now stationed t here. . . ----------- - - Our worthy Lieutenant Governor, upon hearing the particulars ot this unfortunate event, sent the pro per Oflicers to issue what supplies the exigency ot the case might require.

Nit:umLa, the Insurgent who w. taken in Mexico, has been executed. The iollowing is an extract of a letter from a young Gentleman at Aux Cayes, to his lather, dated bruary 10, ISIG 6 6 You of course knew of my having gone to Carthagena, in July, 1814., where 1 remained until the place was besieged by the Royalists, who came before it in the latter end of September last, with a force of 51 sail of armed vessels and seven thousand troops ; we were not at all prepared fur such•an ex pedition; had only provisions for IS days when it presented itself ; and the troops having landed, lock possession of the intetior of the country, so that it WAS impossible to receive any assistance front that quarter ; however, in consequence of the blockade not being so severe at first, as might have been 3p prehended, we received by sea some few supplies oh' flour, &c. from Jamaica, which lasted us until the 3Uth of October ; the blockade, then finding we were completely reduced, became so strict that inahing could pass them, consequently we were minced to the extremity of eating the horses, mules, &c. in the town ; this WAS a supply only for Q 3 di9s, at the termination ot which necessity compelled us to cora sume even the hides torn from our trunks and chairs ; nay, rats, dogs, and cats, at last were substituted. " On the 4th of December last we found ourselves so completely put to it for subsistence, that the Chiefs resolved upon evacuating the place, rather than yielding themselves up to the barbarous General Mo rino, who threatened, on his ever gaining the city, to put every soul to the sword, without any respect to persons or nations. This resolution being pin into execution, we accordingly left it on the Gth of De cember, in privateers and other armed vessels of the State s amidst the fire of the enemy. My employer, Mr. Hyslop, who had an armed brig there of his own, loaded it with all the goods we had then on hand, giving me a charge of the same, to proceed here, while he himself proceeded in a privateer; he, I am sorry to say, was taken prisoner, in consequence of the vessel being disabled by the fire of the enemy— what his fate will. be Gon only knows.—P.S. During the 14 weeks siege. 4600 people died in the streets of hunger, and 320 on the day ot evacuation." OLD BAILEY.
