Sta —The unexampled difficulies of the times having ren dered it impossible to command those resources, which too liberal in aid towards the pressure experienced by some of our Consti. trents required, we have been compelled to adopt the distressing tesolution of suspending our payments. While we lament, most deeply, the inconvenience which viii thus be occasioned to our friends by the temporary privation o f their funds, we are persuaded that the in .pection of our ac , c oo will hi no respect shew us to have been unworthy of their oc klenre—and, as men of honour, we eaa boldly assure you, *icor properties are amply sufficient to liq•vitiate every claim ii the us, if we shal meet the foi !warmlce of our claimants, and ka howed to realize our Asses without d.e unlimited sacrifice is ilich hand) or precipitate measures must entail.

We have received the Paris Papers of Friday. They contain the account of the first day's proceed jets on the case of the twenty-eight conspirators to witom we alluded yesterday. These proceedings oil:wain merely the speech of the opening Counsel and a few interrogatories put to two ot the culprits, which ♦ere compAratiiely uninteresting. Since the above was written, we have also received the Paris Papers of Saturday a they contain the tol. lowing articles comfit EXTRADILDINARY OF SATURDAY AORNING. The Ki .g yesterday transacted a considerable deal of business with several of his Ministers. Count Vaugiraud, at Guadaloupe, announces, by aktter dated the sth of May. that Sir .lamas Leith lead received orders to give up the Island to the Trench Authorities, and that the Ports were Accord. ugly opened to French vessels. The Duke of Wellington 114 S gone to Cheltenham, in England, but will return the first week in Augus:. PARIS, JUNE 29. Tbr i Du!ce of 'Wellington yesterday visited the Xing, and renia;ned half an hour with his Majesty. The Council of Revision have rejected the appeal of General Bonnaire and Lieutenant Mieton, the as sassins cf Colonel Gordon. Mieton will therefore be 41kot i und Borinairemnprisoned for ides The occasion of the Duke of WELLINGTON'S visit fe London is variously represented in the private letters from Paris, and also in the political circles in the Metroplis. By one set of reports his Grace's health is said require the waters of Cheltenham, and by another party k is said that the cense of his visit is purely political. A third statement refers to the discovery of a plot at Paris to blow up with gun powder his Grace and the principal English families there on the occasion of a recent grand ball. The latter report is almost ton absurd for belief. Those best informed in the political circles, give rather a different turn to the occasion of his Grace's visit, and we regret to learn that time complexion put upon this event by persons of tkis description, is glean* in the extreme. They say, that Lord SIDNIOLITH, as the head of the Home Department, having written to his Grace for part of the British army now in trance, to assist in keeping the peace in the disturbed counties, the Dots, ever alive to the best interestv of his country, has come personally to 'represent to the PutNcE REGENT and to Ministers, that not a single British soldier can be spared from his army in France, and that even additional force is requisite to keep the disaffected of that unsettled country in subjection. Yesterday the Dale visited his sister, Lady ANNE tiALMG SMITH, and in the course of the evening the Duke and Duchess met the Marquis WELLESLEY and a family party, at Mr. WELLESLEY POLE'S, to dinner. A Mail from Flanders arrived today. The Dutch' Papers brought by it contain the following intelli gence: 1 AN 1 V.'ERP. JUNE 23. The following tar4T has just been published, ac cording to which, the Consuls in foreign ports, ex cepting tl:e ports of the Levart and the Mediterra osan, including Cadiz, are authorized to receive the Ccosular fees, conformably to Lis Majesty's decree of June 2, 1816 : ,- - - for the exhibition an! countersigning of ships papers, on entry and departirg, for the laet of two tons, five swim.

BRUSSELS, JUNE 26. By letters from Lille we understand that seven) : I r reugh State prisoeetb, whe were confined ht the , . - Castle of Ham, have been set at liberty hi the King's orders ; others are released, but placed for the present under the surveillance of the Police.— Several of the who are confined in the OA. dels of. Lille and Arras, have been likewise released, with the exhortation to be More prudent in future.— They are ordered to return tO their homes, with the assurance that their half pay shall be remitted to theni very punctually. For some years past, several persons distributed in cendiary letters in the Arrondissement of Hasselt one of them, named \Meru, has at length been *r. rested in the very fact; (flagrant delft) ;' he has con fessed every thing. and named three of his accom plices, who have been immeliately arrested. Too often these letters have all the effect which their wicked authors propose : the rich inhabitant of the country, terrified by these threats, thinks he can not escape the burning of his property, except by de• positing the sums which are demanded of him. But even though the crime should not attain this end, it is not the less punishable, since it troubles the repose of the citizen, whom it obliges to-be always on his guard. It is with reason that the law has pronounced the severest penalties against it ; and no criminal of this description can expect any . indulgence from the courts of justice. Mr. Thornton. the English Ambassador to Swe den. arrived at Liege on the 23d of this month, and departed the neit day to proceed to his destination. AII•LA-CHAPELLE, JUNE 25. The French Colonel Latapie, who has been for some time past in this city, under the guard of the Prussian Police, has just escaped, and there are strong reasons for thinking that he is gone towards the kingdom of the Netherlands. Orders have been sent to all the posts of gens d'armes in the Government of the Lower !thine, with the description of his per. son, and orders to arrest him wherever he may be found on the Prussian territory. ZURICH, JUNE 16. Two distinguished professors, one a Catholic the other a Protestant, hive been commissioned by his Majesty the King of Prussia to make a journey through Switzerland, in order to examine the estab lishments for public instruction, and the several me thods of teaching. FROM THE BANKS OF THE DANUBE, JUNE I. A great number 01 French Officers, who were for. merly in the service of Murat, and alter his fall were made prisoners and sent to Brunn and 011intitz, in Moravia, are now passing through Swabia, to return to their country—the. Austrian Government having ordered them to be set at liberty, with permission to return to France. We learn from Stutgard that the influence of she' Nobility will be almost nothing-in the new Cnnbtite- Lion of Wurteniberg. The mediatised Princes, arc. (these are the Princes, Counts, &c. who were for merly independent Members of the old German Em pire, but were deprived by the Act of the Confeder ation of,the Rhine of their rights of sovereignty, and made subjects to the great Sovereigns, the Kings of Wurtemberg, Bavaria, &c. within whose kirgdoms their territories 'were situated), who, under the pre text of defending the rigtits of the nation, have only sought to exasperate all classes against the Govern ment, and to reap alone the profit of all the conces sions which the King might make, completely failed ; and the public opinion has declared against them, since it has been known what demands they make on the kingdom of Wurtemberg. One of these demands is not to bear any kind of personal or communal (one might call these last, perhaps, parish) charges, and to be exempt, both themselves and their families, from all military service : it is this latter demand in particular which has excited the . most discontent. -• • This Morning we received New York Papers to die . sth of June, but they contain no news of interest. The private letters of the 4th, however, which arrived by this conveyance, draw a melancholy picture of the commercial distresses of our Trans-Atlantic neigh bours, which (if possible) considerably exceed our own. Our Merchants have recently speculated upon meet: ing with a' ready market for British manufactured. goods in America,and property to an immense amount has been shipped ro the different ports in that country ; but we are sorry to say, without a shadow of success, tot the above letters state that several American ship, were actually taking in the same cargoes brought 'from this country, in deer to their being re-shipped , for Liverpobl, as there was no prospect of a sale , whatever. roost - THE NEW ORLIVOSS OA2ITT6.' We hate been I . W/0 tired with Haeannah Papers to the 9th instant. They contain nothing interesting except the Mowing snick: " Head-quarters, Monopoz, February 28._ " On the 24th instant, the following , persons were executed in Cartbagena :—Manuel de Castillo, Martin Amador, %matron German Ribon, Jose Maria Pomecariera, Santiage Stuart, An tonio Jose de Avos, Jose Marla Garcia de Toledo, Miguel Diaz Grenada., and Manuel Agulano. They were tried and con demned by a Beard of Officers for the crime of treason. " The culprits might have enjoyed the Indulgence of the ge neral pardon, granted with so much clemency by his Majesty; but their presumptuous and false ideas of the state of Spain led them into error, and too late have they endeavoured to 'Radiate themulvei by false and weak pretences." We leara verhally, that a Mr. ROIIIIITII, an English mer chant of respectability was also executed at Carthagena. This cir cumstance had occasioned a general and violent feeling of resen tment in Jamaica, against Moatißo and the loyal party. We also learn that Mr.liargraMlS i s who wu takes prisoner by the Spaniards in West Florida, during the revolution in that Province, has been liberated, after a detention of fur or live years. 1 A vessel arrived at Havanna, the std lust. with privanirs on bout! from Carthagena, two-thirds of whom were Americana.

This day at Two o'clock the _Palma REGENT went hi the State Cartiage from Carlton• House to the House of Lords, and the House of Commons having been summoned to otten.l, his ROYAL That:Ness in an elegant Address to both Houses, which our time and limits sill not Permit us to give at length, prorogued the Parliament. The Sptech of his grim. HIGHNESS. alter lament. ing the continuance of his ROYAL FATHER'S indispo. sition. expresses his thanks for the attention pod to the business Of the country by Parliament during the Session. His ROYAL Hictsiss, alluding to the prevalence of Peace, assures Parliament, that no exertions will be wanting on the part of him or his Ministers to render it permanent, and to give facilities to our trade and manufactures, by the encouragement of which alone the blessings of Peace can be truly felt. His ROYAL HIGHNESS then expresses a hope that the Members of both Houses, on returning to the coon• try, will display a becoming energy, in soothing and trarquillizing the public mind, a conduct by which the pressure of the times will be gradually alleviated, and the people enabled to suppott their present tem porary embarassments. His ROYAL thwarts looked remarkably well, and was repeatedly cheered by the populace as he passed along. PRINCE REGENT'S COURT. . Yesterday his Royal Highness Nos REGENT held a Court at Carlton House. Soon after eleven o'clock, the Duke of WELLtscrox was introduced to the REGENT by Earl BATHURST, upon his arrival in England. His Gault remained with the PRINCE till past two o'clock. Afterwards the DUKE went to the Secretary of St.tte's Office, in Downing.street, where he was joined by his Noble Relative, the Marquis of WELLEsurt.—The Pfttxce held a Privy Council, which was attended by The Lord President, the Lord Privy Seal, the First Lord of the Treasury, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Fine Lord of the Admiralty, the Master-General of the Ordnance, the Sr. eretaries•of State for the Home, Foreign, and Colonial Iflpart. rums, the President of the Board of Comma, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. Viscount CHET WYND attended as Clerk of the Council. His Serene Highness Prince LtopoLD was iistro.. ducted to the Council by the Loan PRES(DENT, in a Member, and took his seat at the Rizht Ho nourable Board accordingly. His Royal Highness the PRINCE REnsmT, in the presence of the Duke of YORK, the Grand Master of the Order of the-Bath, was pleased to invest Lieute nant-General Sir Colima Daustmoso, and Rear. Admiral Sir Luau. Pausw, with the insignii of Knight! Commanders of the Bath. They were s.ve• rally introduced by Sir Geolica NAYLER, the Officer at Arms, attendant upon the Knights Commanders, who carried upon a cushion the Ribbands and •Badges, and Sir GORDON DRUMMOND and Sir imam. PELLEW, having first received the honour of Knight hood, were invested by the PRINCE RWRNT. H;s Royal Highness the l l ama RRORNT was af. terwards pleased to conks the honour of Knighthood upon Colonels Sir Thomas ARBUTONOT and the Ho- nourable Sir ROBERT 'LIIIVRYNCE DuNom, Knights Commanders of the Order. The above four gsll4nt Officers were nominated to the Order in the month of January. 1815, but were prevented by absence from this country from sooner receiving their investiture. Covere-Gaornts.--The Princess CHARLOTTE and Prince Lecworn - again visited this Theatre last nittlit, to see the performance of Miss O'Neil. in the Tra. gedy of Rome, and Juliet, together with the Mel Drame sit 7 intaue the Tartar. The house was extretnely crowded; and the illustrious Pair were received with evident tokees of popular gratification. The Play was well acted ; and ou no former occasion have we known Miss O'NEIL to receive more distinguished or Merited applause. HAY-MARKET. —This place of summer amuse ment opened last night with the Comedy of the Man of the World, in which Mr. TERRY assumed the ar duous character of Sir Pertiaax lifacrytolthani, and sustained the part throughout with great skill and effect. Mrs. GLOVER played Lady Rodelftha with gaiety and humour. Tile After-piece of Raisiag the Wind followed, in which JONES, in Jeremy Didier, was highly diverting. ENGLISH OrEnA. — The Siege of Belgrade at this Theatre last night, introduced Mr. Hotta in the cite iacter of The Steadier. This Gentleman, who has so long been before the Public both as a singer and composer, came forwzid on this occasion, with the additional claim to public approbation as the pupil of Mr. Wer.su. The master and the pupil are both honoured in the efforts of the latter, and those who have hitherto been satisfied with the exertions of Mr. HORN, must be delighted with his complete success last night ; his style, taste, and expression deserved and obtained the , loudest applause I and we do not hesitate to pronounce him an high acquisition to the English Opera. The Piece was altogether well cast. Miss KELLY, in Lilla, and Mr. enamours', in Tarot, deserved and obtained great applause.' As a proof of the unprecedented stagnation of trade, one day last week there was not single entry for export or import at the Custom-house of Lon:. don, a circumstance without parallel in the annals of that extensive Ebtablishment. In the neighbourhood of Bilston-moor, where there aro many collieries, and a 'number of iron-works, the workmen consisting of some thousands, have been thrown out of employ, They have solicited in vain for work inWarwickshire. Staffordshire, and the neighbourhood. Thus circum stanced, they have acted with prudence and modera tion ; and not wishing to imitate the culpable conduct of others, they have as hitherto refrained from commit ting outrages of any description. With a view however of drawing particular attention to their case, they have resorted to the novel experiment of presenting t petition , I) the hunt &LOOM in pastin, riir4L INTELLIGENCE. • • EAST-INDI SICPPINCI.
