CONSPIRACY Al' LISBON. A new face, unfortunately, has been put upon the progress and possible results of the insurrection at Lis bon from the accounts received through yesterday's packet, which reached our office last night. These ac counts are dated the 6th inst. They, inform us that Don Miguel still held the command of the troops, and that universal distrust and consternation prevailed among the people of Lisbon ; that the wishes of re flecting men pointed to Lord Beresford as the fittest person to be placed in command of the army ; that the prisons were crowded, and the arrested persons dis patched in squads to the country, to make room for'new successions of prisoners; that the Minister Subserra (Pamplona) had taken refuge on board the British fri gate Lively; and that the King's person was considered in so much danger, as to make it necessary to prepare the Windsor Castle for his reception in the hour of need ! " L15130N, MAY 6. 1 " This capital has been the scene of extraordinary events in the course of this last week. On the 30th, the King was shut up in the Palace of Bemposta without seeing any one, and was in fact a prisoner in his own Palace; and his Ministeis wete sent to prison, by order of Don Miguel and the Queen. " It is considered as indubitable, that the deposition of the King was intended; and that it would have been carried into effect, but for the energetic and spirited conduct of the Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers. " As early as nine o'clock on Friday, the 30th, the whole of the Diplomatic Corps assembled at the Nun cios, whence they proceeded in a body to Bemposta, and insisted on seeing the King. This was at fir st re fused, by an order from his Royal Highness: however, after a short time had elapsed, they were admitted.— They found the King in a most distressing state of mind, even ignorant of what had been doing. The at tendance of the Prince was requested, and on his ar rival, the Foreign Ministers made a full exposure of the views of. the Queen's party, and various trivial excuses were made by his Royal Highness, which, however, had no weight with the Ambassadors, who insisted that an order should be sent, in the King's name, to disperse the troops, &c. which was complied with, and every thing appeared to be tolerably quiet. The Queen had come from Queluz early in the morning, fully expecting to hear the Infant Don Miguel proclaimed Regent, and was at Bemposta when the above consultation took place. His Royal Highness, however, continued to hold the command of the troops, and numerous arrests were made, in which the Marquis Palmella was included. He was released, it is said, at the request of the Foreign Ministers. Count de Povoa, formerly Senor Sampayo, wa. the only Minister who escaped imprisonment. It is at pre.ent impossible to conjecture what will be the final result of this most extraordinary transaction. It is certain that no confidence can exist so long as tl.e Prince retains the command of the army. Marshal Beresford is constantly with the King: he wears the Portuguese uniform, and every respect is paid him by the people. It is supposed that the principal Foreign AmhasAdors wish he may be prevailed upon to take the chief command, as tranquillity can hardly be re stored to this distressed country, unless he or some other foreigner hold this office.. The King's person is considered to be not out of danger, and a request was yesterday made to prepare the \Vindsor Castle for his reception, where alone he could be safe: every prepa ration was making on board that vessel to receive him at the shortest notice. 4 4 Count Subserra has taken refuge nn board the Lively frigate, after having for sume days found pro teceon in the hotel of the French Ambassador. e 4 The greatest confusion reigns in the city ; for, in circumstances when full scope is given to private re ye , ge, no indivii!ual can be sure of his safety. The al ir meet and distrustful countenances of the inhabitants sufficiently betray their feelings. Patrols of military p trade the streets night and day. The prisons are so c owded, that numbers of persons were sent off yester diy and to-day to Peniche, to make room for others who are hourly arriving. A list of the members of the clubs who figured during the Constitutional system has fallen into the hand> of the Government, and thus gives an ample opportunity to the exercise of ven geace: these men are accused of being Freemasons. Some of the most relit:cubic merchants, as well as the dregs of the people, have been an ested in this city." The following particulars of events occurring in the early part of the insurrection are supplied from private sources: On the 29th ultimo, the friends of the Royal Fa mily in Lisbon celebrated the tete of the Princess of Beira, now in Spain, and the Ambassador of Eng• land gave, on the same evening, a gran d b a ll, i n honour of the anniversary of his Sovereign's birth day. To the latter, all the Foreign Ambassadors, all the Portuguese Ministers, and a great portion of the distinguished Portuguese Nobility in the capital. were invited. The illuminations at the hotel of the British Minister, in the street of S t . Francisco, were of considerable brilliancy, and, together with the splen did equipages of the guests, attracted a large crowd to that quarter. About half-past ten o'clock a hackney chaise arrived, with the servant of the Intendant of Po lice behind it. In a short time the Intendant alighted, desiring the chaise to stop where it was, as he should immediately require it. In a short time the Countess Subsierra (Pamplona) and her daughter, the Count, and his son-in-law, left the company ; and their family car riage having arrived, the ladies were handed into it by the Intendant of Police, while the Count himself, and his son-in-law, entered one of the chaises of t h e R oya l Household, which was in waiting for him. In the mean time, the Trench Minister, M. Hyde de Neuville, like wise ilecended, and having entered his carriage, desired his coachman to follow in the track of Pamplona's chaise. The greatest part of the company had dispersed by midnight. At break of day, the public surprise was excited by a report that the great square of Lisbon was filled with troops ; that the Infant Don Miguel was at their head ; that in the night an attempt had been made to assassinate the King ; that many per. . . sons were implicated in the plot formed for that per pose ; and that Pamplona, Connt de Parate, Count Villaflor, and other distinguished persons who en joyed the royal confidence and had been declared parti-: sans df'theCourt, had been apprehended as conspirators. Early in the morning the Infant Don Miguel had ar rived by the Palace Of the Regency ; he called a coun cil of war—he dispatched patroles to different parts of the city to apprehend a number of suspected persons, and immediately appointed a new Minister of Police, who paraded the streets, followed by two gendarmes, and barred all approach to the Royal Palace, except to such as were provided with a passport from the Prince. The French Ambassador, as some accounts say, but others give that distinction to Lord Beresford, was the first to dispute this order of the Infant, and to insist on being permitted to see his Majesty. About three o'clock in the afternoon the troops left the Roseio, without any reason being assigned for their dispersion. The following is a list of the arrests which took place on the 30th ult. so far as they could be ascertained on the Ist instant t Count de Sebsierra, the Marquis of Paltuella, the Marquis of Valenza, the Marquis of Fronteire, Count Parate, Count Villa flor, Viscount Santa Martha, Baron de --, Commandant of Po lice, Brigadier Fellis Jordao, Colonel Miguel Vaz Perito Guedes. The Intendant of Police fled, but was subsequently apprehended ; Count Povoa was arrested in his house, but was subsequently re leased, and went to the Palace. The Marquis of Palmella was attested as he returned from the ball. The new Ministers are said to be General Leite, for the War Department; Cipriana Freire, for Foreign Affairs; Quintilla, for Marino; Joaquin de Costa e Silveira, for Finance. In the Ist Regiment, thirteen Officers have been arrested; in the 4th, ten ; in the 15th, nine; in the 16th, fifteen. Many Officets of Cavalry have likewise been arrested. A Colonel of Mibtia, and many persons from the country, have likewise been imprisoned. The number of arrests on the 30th are calculated at between two and three hundred. " r.% LIMDETIL MAY 17, Hal-past Six o'Clock, r. " The packet horn Lisbon has just arrived, consequently tau late for to-day's post, and this letter has been conveyed by express. She has been eleven days out; and has on board Mr. Cafre's family and Madame Ferreira Borges, and a few other passengers. The news brought by her is extremely important. The old plan of the Queen had arrived at maturity, and it has been attempted to realise it.— The Infante, the ready instrument of his mother, took the lead, and issued the Proclamations you will find in the Gazettes. He sur rounded the Palace of Bemposta with troops, and literally held his father prisoner thirty-six hours; and during this time seven or eight hundred persons were arrested, known to be partisuss of the King, several Noblemen included in the number, and many for having been attached to the late Constitutional system. All were put in confinement, and all those who went to see them were also de tained by the jailors. This chews that the combinations Were re gularly made. Muzinho, the Director of the CustOm-houSe; re fused to surrender himself prisoner without an order Signed by the King. The Infante, however, went in person to see his orders obeyed, and the poor man was taken out of his house by force, and ill-treated, the Prince kicking at him himself.— Palmella was among the prisoners; but he was set at liberty at the request of the Foreign Ministers. Pamplona endeavoured to have a conference with the King in the night, at Quinta Villa, at the back of the Palace, but he was unable to succeed; he, however, got a servant to carry a message to the King, and the answer he obtained was, that he had better escape, in consequence of which he got on board of an English ft igate in the river. Joaquim Pedro Games and Marinho, the two late Ministers, were arrested, and the Intendant of Police fled away, and was afterwards Seized in a pine grove. They first laid hold of him in Queluz, where, with a pistol at his breast, be was ordered to give in an account of the proceedings which had been instituted respecting the death of the Marquis de Louie. At the end of two days the King was allowed to appear in public, and was well received ; and after going to church a proclamation of his appeared, in which he approved of all the Infante had done, as an attempt had been premeditated against his royal person and family, pardoning the excess of zeal with which his son had been actuated. . _ " All the above was witnessed 1r; the troops under arms in the Roceio Square, who appeared in the secret, and ready to support their Commander, the Infante.—The Franciscan friar, named Sam pay°, and Pavia Raposo, a lawyer, were the persons who drew up the proclamations, which were all digested at the Quinta da Ra• malhao, before they were made use of, and intrusted with all the secrets. Colonel Pontes, who some time ago was in England, having been sent out of l'ortugal by the late Constitutional Go vernment, was also one of the principal agents. Money was ob tained from somewhere to distribute among the troops, and double rations of wine were also plentifully served out. If this diabolical plot had succeeded as the projectors wished, the consequences would have been dreadful." SPAIN. BAYONNE, MAY 11 The political news from Madrid, which comes down to the 7th, is of little importance. The French troops were kept in their barracks on the celebration of the anniversary of the 2J of May. This measure was dic tated by prudence, and probably prevented bloodshed. The theatres were shut ; and it is said to be in contem plation to shut them in future on Sundays and holidays. The King will be at Madrid again on the 15th ; but will remain only a few days there. PRIVATE CORRESP.)NDEVCE. a MADRID, MAY 6, 169.4. " It is said that an expedition to Ameiica has been de termined upon in one of the late councils held at Aran juez, and that the Generals Bessieres, Capape, and Locho are to be employed in it, if they wish to preserve the rank As hich they have assumed to themselves. if not willing to go, they are to be allowed to retire to their domiciles, with merely one step more in rank than that which they had when they took up arms in the Royal cause. There is no doubt that a new levy of 30,(XX) men is resolved upon, but how they are to be got together, clothed, and armed, is the difficulty. For this purpose it appears that the Minister of Fi nance (who is now generally nick-named Minister of cod fish) has a new loan in contemplation. Tile scarcity of money is severely felt here at present; it is a rarity to see a single pesate. Such is the state of want to which even some of the better classes are re duced, that one of the theatres has been shut up, and the one which remains open does not produce on any one night sufficient to cover its expenses. A reduction in the prices is going to take place, but which will be of little use. As a further proof of the want of money which prevails, take the following; the Royal Decree for setting at liberty the prisoners detained for politi cal opinions, or who, being military, bad capitulated, was put in execution at the town of Siguenza. The of ficers and soldiers amongst them were, according to the Decree, to get unlimited furloughs, and passports to return to their domiciles, as also a sum of money for their travelling expenses. In compliance with the order, there were given to a Captain about forty francs, to take him, his wife, and five children, from Siguenza to Corunna, a distance of 150 leagues. To another of ficer of rank, fifty francs to enable him to go to Mexico. The sum offered to some of the officers was so inade quate to their wants that they disdained to accept it.— A fearful epoch seems hastening on this unhappy coun try, and, to add to our other evils, there is every pro spect of a failure in the harvests; from the want of rain. To-day the Ist battalion of a Swiss regiment arrived here front Bayonne. The two other battalions will ar rive in a few days. General Dijon is hourly expected here to take the command of the French army. The Apostolic Nuncio is on the point of quitting this for Rome. At the last fair held in the town of Mayrena, four leagues distant from Seville, a troop of disbanded officers robbed a company of four merchants, who were going thither to make large purchases, of 80.000 francs in gold. They took the money, but. offered no violence to their persons. Another band, all well mounted, are in the neighbotirhood of Xeres de ta Frontera. The. town of Crejin, in Murcia, In a mettiOstal lately sent in to the Royal 'Council, boasts of h . avati exterminated all the Negrties that were in the town. The affair is now before the Council of State, and it is hoped, for the sake of humanity, tilit prompt measures will be taken to prevent so barbarous an example being followed in other places. His Majesty has approved the sentence which condemns to the gibbet the Priest Aldama, whom I mentioned in one duty last fetters. This unfortunate man will soon be transferred to the burning Chapel. It is said that his Counsel has been condemned to the gal lies for four years, for having spoken with too much warmth in his defence. An ex-militia man has also been condemned to be hanged, for having said, in a moment of fury, that a day would come when he should bathe his sabre in the blood of Ferdinand." FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS. PARIS, MAY 16. Don Pedro le Gallois de Grimarest, Governor and Captain-General of the Army and Kingdom of Arra gon, published the following Decree at Saragossa on the 30th ultimo: •' After having employed all the mildest means to bring back to their duty those who have had the misfortune to combat against their King, I am now obliged to have recourse to the most severe measures to reduce obstinate and perverse spirits. '• In consequence I order, that in the capital and all parts of the province, all arms shall be placed at the disposal of the Corregidor, the Alcalde, and the Commander of the Lioyalist Volunteers, within the space of eight days. ' All those who have belonged to the Volunteer Militia, all who have been in the service of the Cortes, all who have lent their sup port to the Constitutional system. arc to present themselves to the Corregidars or Governors, who shall give us exact lists of them." 'rite Decree of the Governor contains other si milar regulations, rendered necessary by what passed oa the 13 . 1 April, when a puppet was exposed, threat ening the live, of the King and the Royal Family, and the Royalists. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF LORDS, MAY t 9. Lord Grryonn sat for tLe furtherince of Appeals this morning at ten o'clock. _ _ " James, Wood, and James, r•. Telford," was first called for ; when Mr. Srrrtt►r; was heard (in conclusion) for the appellants, Mr. CAMTIVI.I. for the respondents, and Mr. MARRIOTT in reply. Judgment is expected on Tuesday. " Gardner v. Cuthbertscm" was then proceeded with, when Mr. AnAst and Mr. A RERCRO3I RV were heard for the appellant, and Mr. KAY and Mr. Mot:cola 31 for the respondent; and the further hearing was appninted for Friday. Lord Girvonn roc at four o'clock, and at twenty minutes to five the Loße CHANCET.LOR entered the Ilouee. Mr. IlitoonEN, Lord STA NLLY, Mr. J. %Vottyr,rv, Mr..Towss, and others, broiiii.h: up the Consolilited Fund Surplus Application Bill, for the service of the year i 32.1; also the hull Dock Lords Bill, the Macclesfield Gas Light 1:111, and some Road and Inclasure which were afterwards read a first time. The Duke of MONTROSE (with his wand of office) reported that his Majcgty had beck waited upon with their Lordships' Ad dress of the sth inst. and that he had been graciously pleased to di rect that the papers there specified should be laid before the House. The Earl of LAUDERDALE presented a Petition from the City of Coventry Gas Company, against the General Gas Light Company Bill. The Glasgow Streets Bill and the Irish Law Stamps Bill were read a third time, passed, and messaged to the other House. The LORD CHANCELLOR left the Woolsack, and ob served Rau a Petition had been put into his hands from the Silk Weavers of the City of Dublin, who prayed that no alteration might be made in the provisions of the Acts of the 19th and 2uth George 111. by which both Masters and Journeymen were em powered to settle all differences between themselves. The Noble and Learned Lord added, that although he telt it his duty to mention the Petition, yet as he found there were no signatures on the first skim of parchment he could not regularly present it to their Lordships. Upon the motion of the Earl of SHAFTY9SURY i the Kent Fire Insurance Company Bill, the Newcastle-upon-Tyne Coals Bill , and the Southwark Gas Light Bill, were severally read a second time, and ordered to he committed fur Friday. The Earl of S H MTESBURY, in the absence of Earl Bathurst. then moved that the Bills for the better Administration of Justice and Solemnisation of Matrimony in his Majesty's Colony of New foundland should be postponed to Friday, which motion was agreed to.—At six o'clock their Lordships adjourned till to-morrow morn ing at ten. HOUSE OF COMMONS. On the motion of the CHANCELLMt of the .Exclistluta. the House agreed at its rising this night to adjourn over to-morrow until Friday. Lord ENN IS MORE presented a Petition front Youghal, Ireland, against the continuance of Negro Slavery. Mr. Alderman WOOD presented a Petition front Worcester, against the Beer Duties fill. Several similar Petitions from Maidstone and Tidwell were also presented and laid on the table. Mr. I)ENISON presented Petitions from certain persons of the Parishes of Fsher and Kingston un the same subject. Blr. Alderman IIEYGATE gave notice, that on Friday next he • should move for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Law as to Penalties cn Usury. ;Ur. AIIEI:LY gave notice, that he should on Friday move for leave to bring in A Bill to alter the Law as to the Sale of the Land lax. Air. DENMAN presented a Petition from the Charitable Asso ciation for relieving the Poor by small loans against the Equitable Loan Bill.—Laid on the table. Mr. DICKENSON rose to draw the attention of the House to the heavy expenditure of public money by County Rates; several of these rates were very arbitrary, and tiat subject to the controul of the Magistrates. It was high time these rates ought to tie looked into. It could only be done effectually by a Committee of the House of Commons. He concluded by moving that a Select Com mittee be appointed to investigate this intricate subject, and report thereon to the House. Sir E. KNATCIIBULL seconded the motion. In his own county a reform in these rates had taken place in some items, but it had been found impracticable in others. lit expected the very best results from the appointment of this Committee. Mr. HURS . I' approved of the motion, but hoped the inquiry would extzr...l much further, so as to endeavour to equalise the rates' of assessment in different counties. Mr. S. 8011,EN E observed, that there was little doubt that some benefit would result from the appointment of the Committee. It would be, however, particularly desirable the Committee should inquire how far each county ought to be charged with all the ex penses of the prosecution of individuals.—The motion was agreed to, and the Committee appointed. Mr. S. COOPER obtained leave to bring in a Rill to amend the Act of Charles i. relative to levying Distresses in Ireland. He also obtained leave to bring in another Bill to amend the law granting relief to small tenancies in Ireland. Mr. DA\VSON obtained leave to bring in a Bill to continue the Acts appointing Commissioners to inquire into the state of Chari table Property in England and Wales. Sir J. NEW POR pursuant to the promise he had made the House, moved for a Return of any lands held by the Dean of Derry for the use of the Cathedral, together with a general Return of all lands held as ecclesiastical lands under grants from Charles I. or other grants to this Ecclesiastical Corporation ; stating also how far those lands, tithes, or church property, have been ascertained to be liable to repair the Cathedral of Derry under a late inquisition. Sir G. HILL said he could have no objection to the motion.— After a short conversation the motion was agreed to. IRISH FRANCHISE. Mr. CROKER said, it was his intention to move for a Return which he felt was of very great importance, in order to understand the state of Ireland. It was for an account of the number of each class of freeholders in each town or county of Ireland, and also of the number of resident registered householders in each county and city; distinguishing the 40s. 201. and other classes of freeholders, from each other. The Honourable Mem ber having made the motion, Sir G. HILL hoped that the motion would meet with general support. He felt it would be likely to prove the first step towards putting the right of voting on a different footing ih Irehind, moieespeciallY with respect to the limitation of the lower class of freeholds. ' Mr. CROKEIt said he wished it to be distinctly un derstood, that in making this motion he had no inten tion of connecting it with such a purpose as that alluded to by the Honourable Baronet. Lord MILTON strongly remonstrated against die representation made by the Honourable Baronet, of the objects which might be attempted to be accomplished through the instrumentality of these returns. Already there was sufficient reason to believe that the reviewer.- tation in Ireland was far too limited, and the eleciire franchise confined. It WAS high time to info. e som e share of liberality into the representation of The state of Irish repreientation called loudly for form. With a view to give general efficacy to the ihn., tion of the Honourable Secretary of the Admiralty, Le should move as an amendment, that the same return should be made relative to the borough towns in Irela:ld. Mr. CROKEIt begged the Nnble Lord wo::ld a low him his support to the nultion hotine the House, the s i mp le d u p e it s i oo d at present. Ile might afterw ar ,4 add any motion ot his own tshich he thought proper. Lord MILTON justified his intention by referring to the necessity there existed in the populous borough Belfast for some alteration in the Mate of the repie•eu tation. In that town, consisting of above VAX) vet sons, the whole representation or franchise WaS confi:led to thirteen persons or burgesses. Mr. M. FITZ(iERALD thought it would have Ola very worst temiency if the report went abroad to lie hind that the rnotion for fee returns wet e couple.l with any intimation of such a project ai that alludtl to by the Right I lon. Baronet.—Motion agreed to. Lord MILTON then moved fur a return of the num. ber of freemen admitted and sworn since the year 1793, up to the present time, in any city or borough town in Ireland, together with the number of resident house. holders therein. Mr. CROKER said he was sorry that his motion, the only object of which was to call for information laid before the Grand Julies of Ireland eve: y year, should have suggested an opinicn that he meant to foliow it up by any ulterior measure. In considering t:.e gate of Ireland generally, the registry of freeholders wai an important document. It was impossible not to see effect produced by the present system in increasin l ; th. population. He, however, disclaimed All ulterior Mr. S. RICE said he was aware that the only objet of his Honourable Friend (Mr. Croker) was to king an important document before the House. If an olani:,n went abroad that the object was to disfranchise the great mass of the population, nothing, in the present state of Ireland, could tend more to produce mischief. The ef• fect of forty shilling freeholJers in increasing the l'opu lation was sufficiently apparent, from the circumstance that in College lands, and those belonging to the Church, where the system could not be acted upon, the pnpult tion had not at all increased in the same ratio as in other parts of the country. They would not act fai!ly it they did not look into the corporate francni,e as Well as the fre(-hold. The whole system of the former Lad been altered with respect to the Catholics. If they re ferred back to one, they ought to the other. Mr. L. FosTEit said the te,tilt r-f the inquiry wonll be to prove that the popolatizin I ad ircreased, arterh port. bus, as much on Coliege and Ecclesiastical lands, as in any other parts of the coni,t , y. He regretted the rois coi.ception into which his Ho', Friend (Sir J. 11111) had fallen. The doing a ....Ay with the forty slt 1 .- ling freeholders would . be more injurious to the aristo cratical than to the democratical part of the populatioa. Sir G. HILL said he merely meant to express a:; individual opinion ; he was sorry that what had fallen from him gave rise to an idea that any ulterior measure was in contemplation. A message was brought from the Lords, announcing their Lord ships' assent to various Bills. The returns moved for both by 'Mr. COLOUR and Lord Mu.lott were then agreed to. The Transport of Offenders Bin was read a first time, and or dered to be read a second time on Monday neat. The Irish Impounding Bin was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Monday. 'The Report on the Parochial Stipends in Scotland Bill %Val re ceived, the Resolutions agreed to, and a Bin ordered accordingly. The Report on the Warehousing Charges in Ireland was received, the Resolutions agreed to, and a 13111 ordered. COUNTY COURTS. Lord ALTHORP moved the Order of the Day for the third reading of the County Courts Bill. The Order of the Day having been read, and the question put that the Bill be read a third time, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL suggested that on a 'Wednes day, and in the present state of the House, it would be inconve nient to bring on the discussion. Lend A LTHORP said the discussion was put off till the third reading, to accommodate the Honourable and Learned Gentleman. —(Cries of " Go on, go on !") The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he should feel it his duty to move an adjournment, if the Noble Lord pressed his motion. Air. SCA ItLETT said, he did not approve of the Mil as it nosy stood. There were certain omissions in the clause of compensation which would give great dissatisfaction to many persons. It was a gross injustice to exclude some who were as well entitled to cont- pensation as others that were included in that clatsse. He knew one in particular, on whom Lord Ellenborough conferred an office in the Court of King's Bench, for long and zealous service. His emolument depended on actions not bailable, and would be com pletely taken away by this measure. There were others whom he would not enumerate. He would submit to his Noble Friend, whether it would nor be better to postpone the Bill to another Ses sion? It went to establish an entirely new jurisdiction, twenty new Courts, and the same number of Judges. Lord A LTHORP said he was willing to put off the third reld log till Monday ; but after three months labour bestowed on the Bill, it was rather too Much to expect that he should postpone it till next Session. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL withdrew his motion for ad journment, and thy third reading of the Bill was postponedoto Monday next. The Pauper Lunatics Bill was read a third time and passed. The Chelsea and Greenwich Hospitals Bill was read a third time and passed. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned till Friday. The Vice-Chancellor's Court has been closed for some days past, in consequence of his Honour's indisposition. It is asserted in the German Papers, that the physi cians of the liniperor of Russia have advised hint to the warm baths this summer, leaving to his Majesty the option between those in his own empire situate in Mount Caucasus, and those of Carlsbad, in Bohemia. The Ent perm. has, for varicur reasons, preferred the latter. It ' appears that he will set out fur Carlsbad about the end of June, but will not remain above a month, when he will return direct to St. Petersburgh. The Emperor of Austria,. the Kings of Prussia, Bavaria, and Saxony, will go to C.d.sl)ad at t. l )e same time; and no doubt import ant polLical questions will be discussed in this new meeting of the Sovereigns. Count Nesselrode, and vet al perw:ls I.oding the higher offices in the foreign lepartment, have rective.l orders to hold themselves in readiness to set out fur Bohemia. ai secs Quo 'U E: d• , .. • ile= r 1 i: Cal ) 4 Nall to 96 1 All 1 ...-Cu I to 80 'to il Gree ri 3 3 4 4 B II li 1 L II in ill eve' li3l 1 Ida Lib. ciss WI ti a( dial the has his t:io, re , ICC!
