We announced yesterday that his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT bad ordered £3OOO to be issued to the Association for the Relief of the Poor in Spital fields and its vicinity. The following is the commu nication which was sent on this occasion : " WHITZUALL, NOV EIA It t 27, 1816. " Lord LtvserooL, Lord SIDMOU I it, and toe Cu.s NC k: LLOR of the Excuriautß, have the satisfact Mr, to actittaint Mr. IiONY • MAN and Mr. BUXTON, that the INCX RE(ILN . 1 will be gra ciously pit-astd to give directions that the Sum of Five Thousand Pounds should be issue..l to the Associarton for the itelief of the Poor in Spitalfitids and us vicinity, at the rate of one thousand peuods a fortnight, out et Wilds at I the t..sposa_ of his MAJ E S*l V." 4"l'he funds at the disposal of his MAJESTY," from which this issue has been ordered to be made, are, we doubt not, the Droits of Admiralty. It is sun* some time since such an appropriation tif these funds was recommeodtel in the bran ; nor would it be easy to point out any better use for them than their application to lessen tile distresses of the nation. This donation will be productive of the most be. nefici ti results. It will serve as an example to stimulate those who derive their chief incline from Taxes levied on the people, and to induce an effort on their part, by frugality and economy, to lessen their expenses, that they may be enabled to contribute to the relief so much needed by many of those who are taxed for their support : and at tie same time will give a practical contradiction to the false, and We may add, cruel, statements made to the lower orders, by those 'demagogues who would clamour themselves into notice and consequence by unmeaning and useless declamations, while they themselves, tender hearted creatures, will bestow only a tear for their relief. - The Common Council of yesterday was nume rously attended. The • full Report which we have given of the proceedings renders any particular notice of them in this place unnecessary. We were happy to observe, that on all sides the indiscretion of those clamorous dem:lopes who endeavour to take ad vantage of the distress under which the country suffers, to inflame the minds of the ignorant and render them disaffected, was scouted and reprobated. Accounts were yesterday received from Cadiz to the 9th instant, and from Bilboa and Corunna to still more recent dates. The South American pri vateers are represented as committing great ravages on the whole coast. I'en more vessels have been cap tured near Cadiz, and such is the state of the Royal Spanish Navy and Treasury, that not a vessel of war is ready to protect the trade, much less to revenge the insults on the national sag. Several vessels loaded and loading in Cadia, bound to Vera Cruz, Havan nah; &c. have been waiting for convoy, and the Go vernment has at length consented to grant the frigate Sabina, for the use of the merchants, but they have to caulk, victual, and navigate her at their own ex• pense. The greatest fears were entertained fur a vessel from Vera Cruz with half a million of dollars on board : she had been missing for several weeks. The late prohibitory measure of is our Beloved FEUDINAND" against our Commerce, will prove more vexatious and injurious tharfiss at first expected..— Besides British Cotton Goods, ft • now appears that Ili East India Cott2rio are also comprehended in the order, such as tankeens, &c. of which a large quan tity bad been shipped to Spain from this country, and most exorbitaK duties paid upon them. The entire monopoly of supplying Spain having been granted to the Philipino Company, who receive their stock irom Manilla, the above description of mer chandise is rendered of no value, since sales cannot be effected within the time prefixed, and the mono polists will not purchase theta, not to interfere with their own privileged supplies. Yesterdily the Earl of laviopoot. had a long au dience of the PRItiCE REatur at Carlton House.— Cou,ut boluNsTaa. the Hantiv,erian Minister, had also ia audience of his Royal Hithucu. Fltf t )lVeyEßS. We have received ? t(se,Paris Papers or Tuesday. They contain nothing of interest from either of AO ditembers. Some priltate letters from Paris, received a few days ago, mentioned riots and disturbances as having taken place at Rouen. There was probably son;ie mistake in this, although there has been a serious . fire at the house of correction there, containing 600 perssns: we are unable, however, to say whether the tire was wilful or not. The French Journals, be it always remembered, never speak out on such subjects , until all the Journals of Europe make known the occurrences from other sources. Generals DECAEN and SAVANT are about to be tried capitally for the rebellion of 1815—the former is in custody, the latter is in Egypt. The punish ment of the former, be his guilt what it may, will be regarded, at this distant period, as an uncalled-for act of cruelty; and we trust that our indignation will not be excited by recording it. The character of DECAEN, however, can never be highly estimated s it was be who wantonly and barbarously detained poor Captain FidaDetts as a prisoner at the Isle of France, where he died of consumption, brought on by chagrin and disappointment. FLINDERS had been employed on a voyage of discovery, and the flag of his little bark (the Investigator) was respected on that account by all nations with whom we were at war, until he tell under the merciless fangs of Monsieur DECAEN, who tried to rob him of the glory of his discoveries, and Humanity of the benefit of them. Phis DECAEN was also cue of the worthies who swore allegiance to Louis XVIII. and next day took a similar oath to BON APARTE. The Cour Royale, or French Court of King's Bench, was occupied nine hours opt Monday in hearing the pleadings in a cause which originated out of one of the last acts of BONAPARTIet administration after the battle of Vsraterloo : on the arrival of the fugitive in he laid his hands on 710,000 francs (about .c 30,000) •Altich was in the hands of the Treasurer of the Civil List as part of the proceeds of the sale of iritional property. It appears that BONAPARTE, or sonic of his family, immediately purchased Wits en London to this amount, drawn on the House of BARANDON and Co. The existing French Gi,vern-1 ment have brought actions against the Public Trea surer and IMEANDON and Co. for the recovery of this mcney. One decision of an Inferior Court has been already given in favour. of the Defendants, and the Cour Royale now takes it up on an appeal in be. hall of the French Government. The case will be argued again on the Vci of December. PARIS, NOVEMBER 26. On Saturday the King transacted business with lie Duke of Richelieu, and M. de Mesy, Director- General of the Posts. Mr. Canning left Paris yesterday, on his return to England. On the 22d instant, twenty-three French vessels left Havre for various destinations in the West Indies and foreign parts. The Laura, from the island of Bourbon, on the 21st November entered Bourdeaux river. We may now indulge the hope that the price of bread will fall, and the quality become better, as, by all accounts, there is an abundance of corn, and the price has considerably diminished in the markets around Paris. Several towns, after the example of Grenoble and Strasburg, have formed magazines of corn for a re serve in case of a scarcity. Thirty butchers and bakers have been condemned to pay a fine by the Police of Tarbes, for not having conformed to the new laws concerning weights and We hear from Cologne that the Bishop of Jericho has arrived in that town, where he has ordained 60 priests and 100 deacons, and administered the Sacra, ment of Confirmation to more than ten thousand persons. Two lawyers, named Vallee and Nebodon, have been condemned to five years' hard labour, and to be exposed one hour at the Palace of Justice, for having forged and counterfeited some public writings. They will be•exposed to-day for one hour at the Palace of Justice, and be branded on the back with the let ters T. F. A man who was arrested on Saturday evening on the Punt;Tournelles, jumped into the River, and ea- , deavoured to escape by swimming. The gendarme who conducted him immediately leaped alter him. but lie could not swim fast enough to catch him ; he was therefore obliged to swim back to the quay, and the man escaped. James Roucy, a priest, has been condemned to 15 months' imprisonment, for having in a sermon used seditious expressions against the person and Govern 'silent of his Majesty .Loiks-XVIII. Yesterday six women were expcsed in the front of the Patais de Justice, for thefts of various kinds. Two of them affected a most disgusting imprudence during their exposure. COURIXII XXTRAOODIdARY OF TUMMY MORNING. The King laboured xesterday with several of his Ministers. The Committee for the examination of the Law on the Budget are-Ist Bureau, Mews.

Her Royal Highness was received by the Dolce of Tarentum, Grand Chancellor of the Legion of Honour. The Grand Almoner, the Arch bishop of Rheims, presided at the ceremony, and received the vows of the Nuns. The Ist Council of War is about to try General Decaen immediately : the accused is in custody.— The 2d Council will try General Savary about the end of this week. At Chaintre, near MAcon, Madame Nouveau, a widow, has been poisoned by arsenic by one Janvier, who paid her an annuity. The assassin has been arrested. CHAMBER OF DEPU no. BULLETIN OF TIIE 25T11 NOVEMBER. To•day they met in the Bureaux to name the Com mission of the Budget. Those Bureaux who have not finished this operation will continue ii to-morrow. Afterwards they will commence the preparatory dis cussion on the project of the law for the organization of the Court of Peers. The day for the next public sitting is not fixed. ROUEN, NOVEMBER 2s. A dreadful fire broke out last night in the House of Detention (Query, House of Correction ?) in this city. The National Guards and regular troops im mediately flew to arms, and the flames were, cense• quently, soon extinguished. One prisoner in the cells perished : two other prisoners succeeded in saving a female prisoner, who was on the point of perishing. The damage is estimated at sor 6000 francs, which is small, considering the extent of the• building, and its containing 600 persons, besides an immense quantity of merchandize, which it con tained as a manufacturing establishment. FLANDERS MAIL. By the Flanders Mail of this day we learn, that the alarm abut apprehended scarcity has very much abated in different places on the Continent, and, in consequence, the prices, which had been enhanced by the eagerness of individuals to lay in an extra supply, as well as by the machinations of monopolists, have been considerably reduced. _ An asylum has heen granted in Bavaria to the French refugtes, but, with a few exceptions, net at Munich. They are permitted to settle in diff-rent towns in that Kingdom, en the mere miditioa of living peaceably under the superintendance of the Magistrates. NURLMBERG, NOVEMBER is. From all quarters we receive accounts of the fall in the yrices of corn. At Erlangen the bushel of rye is sold at 29 or 30 florins. The Royal Directors of the Police of Nuremberg exhort the inhabitants, by a Proclamation, not to lay in, from exaggerated fears, too large a stock. --The dearness of provisions, they say, is more the result of a monopoly than of a real scarcity, and is still more increased because many persons, from a chimerical fear of a new rise in the price, or of suf fering total want, seek to provide themselves in haste, And thus do much injury both to themselves and their fellow-citizens. The proof that there is abundance of provisions of all kinds is, that it appears, from the registers of the markets, that more corn, butter, and potatoes, have been exposed to sale, than in the same month in the two preceding years. GHENT, NOVENII3ER et. Wheat was sold, on the 19th, for 13 florins, at the market, at I.okern, where the sack is 1-20th larger than the Hectolitre. Monopoly is the sole cause of this dearness, which is owing to a criminal specula tion on the public alarm. From the most authentic information we can state that the scarcity is only ar tificial. Some measures, on the part of Government, will suffice to re•establish a just equilibrium. NOVEMBER, 25.—Our market was yesterday •ery well supplied. Wheat was sold at 13 to 20 florins the hectolitre, and Rye at 14 florins. BRUSSELS, NOVEMBER 23. To-day at two o'clock the King was solemnly received as a Knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece, in the presence of the great Officers of the Crown, the Diplomatic Body, the Members of the States-General, the Council of State, and of the whole Court, in the manner prescribed by the Sta. tutee of the Order. The Prince of Orange, by virtue of a Special Com. mission, acted as the representative of his Catholic Majesty. the Chief and Sovereign of the Order, and the Collar was presented by Don Miguel Alava, acting as Treasurer. His Majesty has sent to ibe States General the project of a law for protecting the Commerce to the Mediterranean and the Levant. Yesterday was a'grand inspection of the Dragoons who are under the tuition of Captain PETens, at the Queen's Riding School, at the back of her PALice, to learn the improved system of the Lance exercise.— The detachment under drill at present is from the 9th and the 23d Regiments. They were in readiness at eleven o'clock, and properly arranged. The Duke of Yonx, in h;s full uniform, attended by Sir HARM' CALVERT, the Adjutant General, Sir WILLOUGHBY Gomm)! and his Staff, arrived EOM: after. The Grand Duke NicuoLas, attended by his suite, followed in a short time, and was received wit`. military h:enours. The Duke of YORK afterwards waited upon the PRINCE' REORAT to report the proceedings of the day.- CORN MARKET. As we predicted the Market has taken a This morning V/heat fell 2s. per quarter, Rn 1 I doubt is entertained, that in spite of all the taut, the gambling speculators in grain, the vi ce considerably reduced. The fact, in spite ti forts to hide it, is precisely what we stated A tetv ago—that the produce of the harvest WAS a ful rage for all Et.gland, though some or the coy not got in so well as might I , ave been wished. who keep back their corn, in the hope of prices, will soon have reason to repent their foil, NAVAL ALLIGENCR.
