le saw no reason why /IM,OOO might net as well e taken from the money voted for the service of the r lv y. The Noble Lord had said, that to grant this 3 „ t ion would be an innovation of the Constitution. shis was a doctrine never very boldly brought for. and Gentlemen in inferior departments bad ge crally been selected to make the assertion. F r 44;() elm these inquiries had been \ exercise d by the House; I ,J in 1780 a majority had declared. that it had a 1( 11 to examine into the abuses of the Civil List, as 4.11 as into all other departments. The House should ive greater powers to the present Committee, in or a to render their labours more effectual than on for. ler occasions. Noce of the articles removed had ecn accounted for. and the House were justified in reclining that there had been an abuse. The Corn mace should therefore be enabled to examine persons v ac, for it was by such means :inly the abuses .) tile Navy had been detected. Lord CASTLE RE AGH explained. Mr. ROSE contended that no precedent could be 'und fur granting the motion. la all former appli ations respecting the Civil List, accounts had been u cnished, but in such a way as to throw no light diatever on the subject—(Hear. hear!) At present er y minute details had been given. and every one tint looked at them might judge of the state of the :ivil List without examining witnesses viva voce. Mr. COURTENAY opposed the motion. Mr. PETER MOORE supported the motion, midst cries of question. Mr. LONG said, that there would dot have been ,sty excess, it the one hundred thousand pounds had .een appropriated in the manner intended. As to be furniture, part of it had been sent to Cumberland. Lodge, and the remainder was reserved for future lurposes. The Right Honourable Gentleman had wt made out a sufficient case; and if the House were o consent to his motion, he would afterwards call or other witnesses. Mr. TIERNEY replied at considerable length. He contended, that to refuse enquiry would only en .:ourage the Crown to run into debt. He desired the House to look at the names of the present Committee, and to say, whether they expected them to rake out my of the abuses ? He had proved all he wanted, and he admitted, that if he could succeed in procu -nig the examination of Mr. Mash, he should call for Aber witnesses. He should proceed step by step ; ind a: lie had made out a case in the Lord Chamber tin's Department, it was more than probable that he thould have to investigate transactions in the offices A the Lord Steward and Master of the Horse.— When the £lOO,OOO was voted to his Royal Highness, le had expressly asked Mr. Perceval whether it was to lay his Royal Highness's debts ? the answer was. no; t was for his outfit, for his furniture, plate, Ste.— fix Noble Lord had spoken of the indelicacy of :hese inquiries; but if any body had dragged his! Royal Highness into the , mire, it was the Noble Lord, who had entered into a long explanation of the Prince's debts. When his Royal Highness became Regent, his debts amounted to three hundred thou sand pounds ; but this was carefii:iy conceale.' from the House, who ought to have paid the Pi ince's debts as they had paid those a his father. The Privy !Purse was not sufficiently accounted for : in this, as in many other transactions, there was something kept The Noble Lord now said, that there should be same super inteird4rice, and bad asked why :le did not or .og the warrant down I but when tie ( Mr. Nroee ) asked . where the warrant era, the Noble Lord answx...i is *honld be sent to.morrow—(Hear.) 1 —Mr. Mash, however, knew how the excess arose, atid it was necessary, nut only for the security of the people, but for the character of the Crown, to examine 1 1 him. The Noble Lord had expected it to be a day of grand display on his part, but it now seemed to rest fanely en the warrant, which, instead of being sent I;) stairs, was kept down stairs. (Hear, hear, hear.) Fatliament ought to mark their sense of such gross cisconduet ; and it was too much to say, while the Property Tax lasted, and tradesmen were dragged Le. fore a set of Commissioners, who were authorised to examine their books and investigate the whole of their transactions. that the affairs of the Crown were nut to lie enquired into.—(firar.)

On Monday, Mrs. Seymour Darner Lad the honour of pawning to the Emperor the bust of Charles Fox, n marble, sculptured by this Lady, who had already presented to him the bust in plaster, after the peace ot Amiens. She had •the honour of an interview with tni; Emperor, who on this occasion told her that it this distinguished man had lived, there would have teen peace ; that the debt of England would• have ir!en !esa than a million, and many thousands ot men - mould still be alive. The Emperor heard Mass to-day at ten o'clock, in irs Palace Elysee. Prince Talleyrand has, they say, endeavoured to ele.Ain front the Congress, a aeclaration that the in stgrity 1.4 the French territory should be guaranteed ; b;it no regard was paid to his representations. Ti.e voluntary enrolments are considerable at Paris. On the 4 .:d instant more than a thousand young men enrolled themselves at the Pretectoratc. is regiments o f i n f antry qu i tte d t h e cap i ta l ti 6 /limning, with cries of Five IVmtercur. They yroceeded to the North. We ate assured that the labours at the fortifications Montmartre and Montelimart will be A tit to-mor °Y►. and that they will be protected and defended by 30,000 men of the paid national guards, who will commanded by officers of the line. General Hato and Major Lami are charged with the direction of the world. By a circular of the Ist of May, his Excellency the 'Minister of the Interior apprises the Prefects, tl►at Om Emperor having ordered that the Departments should furnish horses for the light cavalry, these horses shall be paid for immediately upon delivery, at the rate of 360 francs a horse. --- Marshal Suebet, Duke of Albufera, has returned to Peru. The department of the Aisne has furnished 2000 anon above its contingent, and has besides given 120,000 francs for clothing and equipment. The new market coastructed on the spot where the 4 hbaT Saint Martin stood, now serves fur workshops ** the armourers, mom than 600 having been rm. ployed in repairing firearms for these fifteen days past. The same activity prevails in Various parts bf Paris. Among the great works which had been sustianded, and which the kniperor has; ordered to be again com mented, is the gtaild stone bridge or Rouen, which will he the finest ornano•pt of that city. ILAN, Al'llll, 19. The Ne.ipolitans are : etiring in great haste : they have lost 9,000 men and 14 pieces of cannon in va rious combats which havelaken place. PARMA, APRIL IS. On the 12th of the month, Count Magzwly attired in this city, and published what follows " We, the Empress Maria Louisa, Archduchess of Austria, Duchess of Parma. Placentia, and Cusseslle, making known to all the subjects and inhabitants of our States of Parma, Placentia, and Coastal'', that having taken into consideration the dream stances of the impossibility in which we find ourselves to repair la person into our above•named States, we have entreated our' beloved fa , her Emperor and King, to have them provisionally governed in Isis name. We wish and enjoin our faithful subjects of the said States to obey the orders and dispositions which his Majesty ►hall deign to make known, for such is our pleasure. " Given at our Palate of Schoeubrun, rear Vienna, March 31, lats." Then (snows a Declaration from the Emperor Francis, agreeing to and confirming the abovegnen tiutted arrangement. BASLE. APRIL 46. A column of 6000 Austrians debonched on the 15th of April from the mountain of St. Blake, by the vallies of Munster and Stauffer, and arrived on the 16th at Salzbourg, in the Grand Duchy of Baden. The line of this column e#te►ded on the 17th from Mu'helm to Newbouigh, and its watch fires were seen during the whole night in the plain along the right bank of the Rhine. This column has been followed, it is said, by two others of the same amount, which keep the same road, and will concentrate upon Lorrach. The desertions to France are still frequent among the Bavarian and Baden regiments. On the 13th a whole company arrived, and their Captain at their head. They entered Landau, and next day a Baden Serjeant brought fifteen to Colmar. Polish Officers, disguised as peasants, arrive from all parts. MAY I.—An animated discussion has taken place at the Diet. The Cantons of Berne, Soleure, and Fribourg, were desirous to declare against France, but Basle, and fourteen other Cantons, spoke with firmness, and neutrality has been resolved upon.. Our inhabitants dAily see the progress made by the French in constructing the redoubt between Basle and Hiiii;neo, which they are now beginning to fill with cannon. Five thousand workmen are employed on it amid shouts of P Ern/strew ! THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. NEXT SATURDAY ALL THE I.OITERY MUST BE DRAWN—ONLY 5,000 TICKETS—Jso,coo PRIZE— ;MO uUINEAII IN GOLD.

Last night we received the Paris Papers of Friday, bnt their contents are comparatively uninteresting.•••• BONAPART4 as we were prepared to expect, was still at Pads, And the Parisians were informed that on the following day the works were to commence for the defence of the capital. Notices, as usual, are inserted in the Paris Papers of the march of troops through that city for the frontiers, and of the enrolment of volunteers for the defence of the country, &c. and particular notice is taken of a bust of CH*aces Fox having been presented to --RoNAPARTS by the Hon. Mrs. DAMER This morning we have received Frankfort Papers to the 3d and Brussels to the 7th inst. Neither the German nor French Papers confirm the accouat of t!...e capture of MURAT, published in the Dusseltdorf Gazette ; but both agree in their state menu of the reverses he has experienced, and the haste with which he is retreating before the Austrians. In the battle of the 14th, at Farli, all his military baggage was taken, and some thousands of priso. ners. This may have given rise to the report of him. sell having been l taken prisoner. The French papers admit his loss in the affairs he has had with the Austrians to have been nine thousand men. All the accounts in the German and Dutch Papers concur in stating, that his loss by desertion is very great. In an official article from Vienna, some expressions contained in a Proclamation issued by the Prussian Governor of the Duchy of Berg, are solemnly dis claimed as having emanated from the Congress.— The honest Prussian, in his zeal for the good cause, had denounced vengeance not only against Bose. ea RT Es but against all qv ho supported hint. The official article in question disavows all intention of punishing the latter, but repzats the determination of the Allies to deprive BONAPARTE of all power in France.—The following are extracts from the Dutch and German Papas : VIENNA, APRIL 26. The Wurtemberg General Von Geismar lately came here from Stuttgardt : he is going to Gratz to receive the Countess of Hartz (the wife of Jerome Bonaparte) who is arrived there, and to accompany her to her own country ; she will reside at Goep. pingen. Private letters from Gratz state, that they expect there also King Charles of Spain and his con sort, and the Prince of Peace ; they are to reside in the Imperial Palace: orders have been sent to receive them with the honours due to their rank. For some time past we have heard but little of the court of the Archduchess Maria Louisa : she is stated to have said lately to those about her, that she would never return to France ; for this reason she had dis missed her Cabinet Secretary Menneville, who was given her at the beginning of her Regency in 1813, bjr none . parte, is order that be might return to France, ti he wished. Mamma from Brunn say, that the abode in that plea does not ninth please Madam Bachiocchi, who often breaks out into violent execrations. Her bus. band has found at Brunn a relation of his own name, whom he sends for daily. He complains bitterly of his daily expenses there, which amount to 600 florins. However he is always served upon silver. An ac count of all that passes in their family is laid regu larly every week before Prince Metternich. In Aulic Council of War, there are daily meetings of all the Generals now here, which are frequently attended by the Emperor of Russia and King of Prussia. BRUSSELS, MAY S. The Duke de Levis, Peer of France, is arrived at Ghent. Count Golz, Ambassador of the King of Prussia to Luis XVIII. corning from Vienna, is gone toiday to Ghent i as also Count d'Aglie, the Sardinian Ambassador, from London. By letters from Courtray of the 2d, it agtears that 'detachments of French troops deserting from Bona parte continue to arrive on the frontiers. A letter from Paris says, is that several ladies dr la Halle have been put in prison for having manifested their desire for the return of their :mitt:bier at Client. Fouche, who sent for them, tried to soften them ; and as they expressed themserves frankly, he asked them if all these ladies thought in the same manner They answered there was a mistunt of royalists and canaille. The Minister offended, had them sent to pri soi., where he did not venture to keep them above three hours." It is added m this letter that Bonaparte is having pictures and precious effects packe3 up, as if he thought of a retreat, which makes the mob call him le Prince de Lambalk. SCHAFFHAUSEN, APRIL 27. _ To-day post-horses were ordered for Princess her thier and her suite, but this afternoon they have been countermanded, because the Princess has been ar rested in the kingdom of Wurtemberg. A Bulletin from Milan, of the 19th, states, that in the action of the 14th, near Forli, between the Aus trian and Neapolitan armies, the latter were totally defeated, with the loss of 9000 killed and 4000 pri. toners. Murat's camp equipage was taken, The Neapolitans retired towards Ancona, where it should seem that Murat thinks to rally his army, and ven- ture a new battle. Should he lose, he will have no other resource than, if possible, to embark ; as the mountaineers of Arezzo, who have been ill treated by his troops, are all in arms to intercept his retreat. Murat is said to have twice asked an armistice, and to have promised, as saw as peace should be made with him, to join the coalition—but all his offers have been rejected. When General Nugent advanced toward; Florence, the Neapolitans in that city desired to capitul.►te, and wanted to remain for the night in Florence; hat this was refused, and they were compelled to march out in the night. A division of Austrian troops is marching from the Kingdom of Italy to Piedmont, Ater which it is said the General in Chief, Baron Frimont, will follow. It is this day reported in the City, but possibly with a view to Stock.jobbing speculations, that the Emperor of AUSTRIA is negotiating with BosApan TR. We have not been able to trace this report to its source. It is said to have originated in private letters Rom the Continent. Ministers were yesterday busily employed in fre quent communications with each other, but no Cabi net was held. Viscount CASTLEREAGH had a long audience of the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton-I-louse In the evening Mr. &MN, the King's Messenger, was sent off with dispatches to Vienna. The Communication made to the Russian Am bassador, at London, in January, 1805, given in a preceding page, , deserves an attentive perusal. The principles which are therein laid down seem never to have been lost sight of for a moment, though by the necessity of circumstances the parties were for a time pvevented from following them up with effect. In fact, all that has since been arranged at the Congress for settling the affairs of the Continent has only been rearing up the building of which this State Paper may be considered the foundation-stone. THE ALLIED ARSIY..--LODIS XVIII- in his Pro. clamation to the French says, that 1,200,000 men are marching against the Usurper." As such large numbers give nu distinct idea, for no person eier saw such a multitude at once, it may be well to nelke a few calculations to assist the understanding. At the average step of a soldier on the march, one step of each makes 600 miles, and will wear out one pair of shoes ; so that, it they march '25 miles in one day, , ' they will wear out 50,000 pairs of shoes, and the whole distance travelled will be thirty millions of miles, or equal to twelve hundred times round the globe of the earth at the equator ! If the whole of the armies were drawn up in a single line, allowing '2 feet to each man, the line would extend from Ls - radon to Edinburgh ! I If any persons think this is a puerile way of ciao'. Wiwi, let them remember that aStrOtionxts, by way of giving an idea of the immense distance of the heavenly bodies, tell us how long a cAlition ball would be of passing to one of them, at a Oven velo city. Those astronomers know, that to speak of great numbers in the abstract, g ive: no distinct or cor responding idea. To A million nt minutes, for ex ample, we fix no accurate idea ; but to 691 days and 22 hours we do afEx some idea, and when reduced-to months it becomes accurate. When we say that the • French Revolution has cost England one thousand millions of guineas, we affix no proper idea to that sum ; but when we are told that the money would build five hundred churches like St. Paul's, or pur chase half the lands of the kingdom, or build ten cities, each as large as London, we begin to form some idea of the obligation we owe to the French. :FORTING INTELLIGENCE.
