Hamburg!) Mail arrived this morning. The :pens brought by it are, as usual, filled with ac. Juts of preparations kg war in every part of Ger- From Vienna 0 learn, that Messrs. CARROT FOCCHE. having failed in all their attempts to ..rry off' MARIA LOUISA and her Son, have since .ide proposals to the Austrian Cabinet, by which ,ey stipulate, in the first place, for an amnesty for .emselves personally, on which being granted, they -omise to deliver up their Master ...LANZAPARTE'S dead ,Jv to the Allied Sovereigns. They seek further to lisde the Emperor of AUSTRIA into an acquiescence their project, by proclaiming his infant Grand- Eniveaoa of FRANCE, under a Regency, to con ;;of coarse of the two worthy Intriguers themselves. The staff and field equipage of all the Russian . :inces have reached Sweden by sea, from Cronstadt .:ey are on their way to Frankfort on the Maine. An additional day's papers from Paris have reached since our last, and enabled us to lay before our tders a tolerable account of the opening of the ession of the French Parliament. The speech of : . JNAPARTZ on the occasion is very guarded, but, lined with all the circumstances of the opening, will :cure none. There seems to have been, even in early stage, something like a trial of the strength pirties—a 66 pulse-feeling" on the part of BONA ) usrz—a 41 rejection of the prescription" on the part ;f the Delegates. To their messenger informing aim of the election of a Presiden►, and request to know his will, he gave for answer that t would be made known by a Chamberlain ! the answer gave offence. ig The Assembly had right to communicate directly with the Est. 'mots or with a Minister." The great man having 'ventured more than would be borne, he was :::spelled to have it explained away ! it was all a al;.take. This lesson was not lost on BONAPARTI. , ::ad no doubt contributed to decide the tone of his , perch. "He now commences a constitutional tno. tarchy !!" Indeed l How then has he hitherto :eined In his opening speech he admits the -ruth of the charges so long brought against him, ,hat he ruled without law—that his will was the only law—that he was a tyrant ! That his pretended rtrachment to former constitutions was a mockery— delusion —a fraud upon the French and upon man. The Jacobins knew this before he told them ; ani they know that for this confession they are not :nbted to any change in his principles, but to .;,angel in his and their relative circumstances.— They cotdially bate each other, and each still en- I-avours to overreach the other; but what may be •::.! result time only can explain. It 14 clear that BONAPARTE is in great dread of the powzr of 6. Jacobins. At prcseut he is dependent .r.-!.1 them. This is the " Constitutional Monarchy" if which he is now forced to boast. The picture which be draws of hio.situation and icsources is far :rinn encouraging to his friends. He says, " the faiances,woold be in a satisfactory state—tut ;" and again, is atll might be toot—if." These buts and ifs are lamentably in the way. They afford bad omens to a nation plunging headlong into a most deiperato war against all the world. They amount to this—that iat • foe the increase of expenditure, and if the estssiiAted etceipts could be real , zed. the finances would be in a satisfactory state.— lie states, alluiing to the capture of the Melpo. .n.ine, that blood has been shed during peace—that during the existence of a Treaty by which peace was estahlis'ied. But who broke the Treaty That eery treaty banished him from the Throne vio !ttiun of the Treaty he has again usurped that Tartar'. tint, notwithstanding all the provocation E:ven by him to the Allies, we have yet no evidence our Gov:rnmeni has authorised actual hostilities, ! - ,,we..r they might be justified; for the capture !if dAtt Mclpmcile hcts not yet been approved of ; ir,d, as in the case of unauthor.xed captures, it is ichsible she w. ty be revtored, as has been the case with the captures sent into British ports. This very day we have received information that the two French sent in the beginning 61 last week to Ply. nouth, by the RHIN frigate, have been released by Irder of eovernm-Jnt, and sailed on Friday last for 3rest. The case of the Melpomene may, however, ,t very different. She was. perhaps, really or con :ractively e..gAged in warfare against our Allies at 'he time of her capture. The contest for the choice of a President may be slipposed to have called out the force of the respec. ire parties; and the election of M. LAW:RAU by very large majority cannot have been very gratehil tither to BONAPARTE or to the violent Jacobins.— .ANatonats, as a Senator, had often the boldness •-) oppose BON/WARTS', will : and in the earlier art of the Revolution, though of republican prin. iples, yet he resisted all the atrocious measures I the Terrorists with remarkable energy and perste - eranse. The voting fur Vicoirresidents also affords simJat info ranee. A eery large majority was for M. llkauammies, who, in the latter end of 1813, wis one of the few Members of the Chamber of Deputies who showed a determined resistance to BONAPARTX. Just as this Paper was putting to Press we received another day's Paris Papers. We can only give short extracts: HOUSE OF PEERS-MING or JUNE 7. Count LACIIPZDZ took the Chair. The VICE•PRICSIDENT acquainted the Chamber, that the present meeting had simply in view to repair in a body to the Chamber of the Deputies, where the Session would be opened by the EMPEROR. JuNa B.—The Sitting was opened at a quarter be. fore one o'clock. The ARCU.CIIANCELLOR presided. —His Highness communicated to the Chamber the regret felt by Count DECROIX and Cardinal CAM. &scans, whose health did not permit them to be pre sent at the Sitting. A third Member also acquainted the President by letter that he was obliged to absent himself, on ac count of a mission entrusted o him by the Emperor. M. THIBAUDICAU, in announcing to the Chamber the reading of the Address drawn up by the Com mittee appointed for that purpose, demanded that it should be read in a Secret Committee. Granted.— The Galleries were cleared. At half after two the strangers were again admit ted. On their entrance, the ('resident was engaged in drawing by lot the names of twenty Members to be joined to the Commission by which the Address had been drawn up, to form a p.irt of the Deputa tion which was to have the honour to present it to his Majesty. This being concluder, the PRESIDENT observed, that the Commission charged with the management of the internal Police would forthwith submit its labours to the Chamber. M. FAZRZ Ds L'Amsa proposed, to facilitate the discussion, that the plan of the regulation should he printed and submitted to each Member.—Rejected• Count VALENCE demanded that the President should be requested to send a message to the House of Re presentatives, to announce that the House of Peers was constituted.—Adopted. The PAWN= declared, that he should take the Emperor's order to know when the Commission could be admitted to present to him the Address of the Chamber. The siuing broke up. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES—SITTING JUNE s. At one o'clock the Sitting was opened by the reading of the Proves Verbal of the Sitting of the 6th. M. GAANIER demanded that the Declaration should be inserted, that the resolution taken in that memorable Sitting, relative to the administration of the oath, was unanimous. This declaration appeared to him to he necessary, to give to France and to Europe the true esti,nate of the energetic sentiments of all the Mem bers of the Assembly. The PRISIDINT•••" It is a principle that, in deli. berating assemblies, the decisions are never considered otherwise than as the expression of the wishes of the majority. It is on this account chat the old regulations enact, that mention should never be made in the pro ces-veroaux of any thing beside the simple plurality of suffrages. This homage is due to the individual liberty ot the Members." M. DU:Me/LARD. An Assembly merely pro nounces by the majority. Without doubt the senti ments which dictated our decision of the day before )e.terday were unanimous. We were desirous to de clare to all Europe, that, without pretending to rule without our territory, we had but one will : that of defending our independence. We wished to declare that we would adhere to our oath. (Murmurs). These murmurs do not surprize me ; they are to me a fresh proof ot the concordance of our wills. But I repeat, when the public interest is in the question we ought not Ito stop at the present. Our foresight ought to em brace every case, and to extend itselt to the future. In coutormity to the principle laid down by the Pre sident, out of respect to the freedom of the Assembly, I call for the order of the day."—Adopted. “ The PazsmENT.— By the interpretations given to the different propositions which the administration of the oath has given rise to, you have seen the clouds dispersed which hostile prejudices endeavoured to torus in this Assembly. The most pressing business now is to reply by an Address, to the sentiments which the Emperor manifested yesterday in our pre sence. This Addiess should be drawn up by a Com mittee appointed for that purpose." The PS/OIDZNT proposed several modes of forming the Commission. The Assembly resolved that it should be composed of five Members, to be added to the six who compote the Bureau, and who should be named by the Bureau itself. The Bureau annexed to its Body the Representa tives Garet, Durbach, Gamon, Laforet, and Du rand of La Marne. M. LiPaLLETIZa.-4 propose, that as the tide of k Pak; was given to Louis XVIII. the title of SAUVLUA as LA PATRIE (Saviour of the Country) be given to Napoleon. (Order, order I from all parts). The noise then became so violent, that not a voice could be distinguished for half an hour. Ths PAISPENT succeeded; however, in calling the votes ; when the Assembly unanimously voted to pass to the Order of the Day. The Sitting was then ad)ourned, after Messrs. Du- KOLAR% CLIIMINT, and General CAftwor t were elected Secretaries. comas UTRILORDINART OF FRIDAY MORNING. They write from Metz, on the Sth of June, that the Russians are going towards Luzemburgh. All the Allied Sovereigns are gone from Vienna to Frankfort. By a Decree of the 4th, M. L'Apparent has been named Prefect of L'Herault, in the place of M. Al- phonse. Bayonne, St. Jean Pied de Port, and Blaye, have been put in a state of siege. They write from Valenciennes on the 6th of June, that all the line is in movement. L , The French Funds km fallen to 54. By the Fox packet, which has arrived at Edmond) from Antigua, we learn that the French troops in Martinique and Guadaloupe had exhibited the tri coloured itig and cockade immediately on hearing of BONAPARTB'S arrival in France. Admiral LINOIF, the Governor of Martinique, whose loyalty to his lawful Sovereign remains unshaken, immediately solicited the assistance of Sir JANES LEITU, the Bri tish Governor of Antigua, who was preparing a force in the beginning of MAy to assist Litiots in preserving the Islands for the BOURBON Family. There were not more than 700 French soldiers in both the above Island;, and it was considered as highly improbable that their rebellion would be successful. The latest intelligence received from India is rather of a threatening aspect. With the failure of our enterprize in the Nepaul Country, conducted by the gallant but unfortunate General GILLESPIE, our Rea ders are already acquainted. Our reverses have, it seems, called out & INnratt, the inveterate enemy of The British power in the East. He was cotectiv a most formidable and overwhelming force, under the pretext, as usual, of defending his own territory, but really with the object of pouring down upon the Bri tish settlements. On the side of Madras the Rajah BAIIRAR has also taken the field, as if to act in concert with &INDIAN 1 and General Dovirrox has been obliged to move for. ward the Madras army to watch Ms motions. The Bombay and Coast Armies are also in motion, and Lord MotnA was about to take the field in person. We regret to add, that in consequence of this gloomy state cf things, specie has become extremely scarce in India, and the Company's Bonds are at a very eavy discount. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

THE MARQUIS OP WINCHESTER% GRAND ENTER. TAINSIENT TO THE PRINCR RlSOlNT.Sillladoty the MOM magnificent preparations were made at Win. chester House, in Lower Brook-street, for the expr:•ss purpose of receiving his Royal Highness the rep CE REGENT. This superb mansion, which is embt I. d with every modern acquirement, had an ain.,z i:gly fine effect when lighted up. The banquetnis.room was in a blaze, from the effect produced by t e vast number of wax candles and lamps upon the vety costly service of gold and silver plate, the matchicss richness of which charmed every one. The company sat down to dinner at half past eight o'cl .ck I , i an oblong table, covered with every delicacy ; it a :;s an entertainment of three courses, in which were intro duced a variety of rare dishes, some of which e:e la-Eqtagniola, and others a-la-Pari:lame. The PRINCE was delighted ; his Royal Highness looked uncom monly well, and was in high spirits. The Marquis of DONEOALL laid the first stone of a new hospital, on Monday last, at Belfast.
