TH.E .EVENING STAR. LONDON. TUESDAY, MAY 16, 1815. WuiT-Tormiv.--Holiday at the Stock Eichange. Consols for Thursday 58if The Paris Papers of the 13th arrived in the middle of the night, but their contents prevent but little in telligence of moment. The Duke of Tsteviso is mentioned as having been sent on a military mission to the northern garrisons. The Five per Cents. are quoted at 60-I—they had been 62 on the preceding day.—Either of these price is better than they were a week ago, and we learn, by private accounts, that is Paris the rise is ascribed to two reports, circulated with great industty. One, that the A rchduke CH A RUA, having warmly espoused the cause of the rebels, had prevailed on his brother the Emperor FRANCIS to consent to a neutrality; the other, that a negotiation had been entered into by some distinguished leaders of the Jacobins; to deliver up BONAPARTE to the Duke of WILLINOTON, in order to prevent the calamities of war. The latter is the more probable of the two, for the tyrant by his con duct has incurred the odium of many who assisted in bringing him back, and it is no longer attempted to be denied that the enemies of BO*APARTIE increase throughout the departments. But we credit neither of these reports. Though we have do doubt that the demagogues who have been cheated by the Corsican, are As earnest in their machinations to destroy him as be is in his to annihilate the influence Which they be lieved they had acquired : if they succeed, it will be one of those sudden popular bursts which so frequently occurred during the revolution, which may, in a day, put the whole power into new hands, and give. the Tyrant a mock trial before be is .carried to the guillotine ; or, perhaps, some of his own private modes of getting rid of hated people may Ile prac tised against himself. NANA:ton certainly feels himself in a precarious situation, and hence his tardiness in quitting the capi tal. It is now announced, that the relays of horses which had been kept for some time in readiness on leis intended route to the North, have been suspended a farther Notice 1 It is pretty well ascertained that. many of the Officers of the French army consider themselves as having been trepanned into their pre sent situation, and are anxious to join the standard of their lawful :Sovereign. Even of the Marshals, none but Banns, and the new Marshal GROUCHY are lolly relied on by BONAPARTE. NET appears to have wished to dictate a little too imperiously to his old Master; and, indeed, it must be allowed that he had some claims, it infamy could give him any. BoNa- PAR rE, however, was not disposed to be grateful for the worthy 'Marshal's perjuries t but sent him grumbling to his.istate. Suctrar has been offended. DINOT and Sr. CYR are kept under surveillance.— MonnEl and some others seem to be inclined, if pos sible, to trim between treason and fidelity ; some, like MACDONALD, have absolutely declined all connec tion with the Usurper ; but no one individual. of weight has cordially joined him . ; for Sout.r was merely caught by the rank of Major-General, to which he has long aspired ; and he has besides lost all his in tluence by his treachery when in office under the King. —Placed in such circumstances, can we wonder that BONAPARTE should manifest a hesitation in his pro ceedings never- before visible in arty part of his con. duct ; or that he should endeavour to fortify him self in his sitnition by endeavouring to negotiate a Rparate peace with some of the Allies ; or in other wurds,, to gain their approial of and concurrence in his usurpation. 41 Dasieing Isisuelf with his owls eleceiv -71," and willing to deceive others, some attempt of this kind may have, and probably has, been made with Austria, and some prudent cautious answer may have been construed into a' hopeful approach to accommo dation, and hence the report alluded to above of the lnendly disposition of that Power. We arc informed by a Gentleman just arrived from Ostend, that the tumult among the Saxon troops at Liege had something in it so deliberately systematic as to induce a belief that it was excited through French agency. This seems proved, by the French Journals having announced an insurrection there before it hap pened, An attempt was actually made upon the life of the gallant General BLuctlant ; and our informant, who was at Liege at the time, states, that he saw four of the ringleaders shot for this murderous attempt. A curious report is current upon 'Change this morn- Ing. and which derives its source from several private 1: tters received from the French c:ipital, dated the 13th, vie. That it is the intention of BONAPARTE to ccape front France, as he has been raising all the money by various means in his power, within these N. , / days. As a confirmation of such an event being 3pezted by the British Government, all the shipping ';"at have been ordered to sea have received positive ir.tructions to stop and strictly search every vessel pitting the French ports, particularly those destined fiJr 3 meriea. fhis morning Mr. ROBINSON, one of his Majesty's Nft.sengers, arrived at Lord CASTLEREAGH'S (MCC, vidi dispatches from the Duke of WELLINGTON. Bylthe arriv a l o f M r , R OBINSON , Vi enna G azettes o f Cie l 6th of May have been received. They confirm, by official Bulletins, the total route and ruin of MLitt r's army in the vicinity of Ancona. ARfirr. All the stores that can be spared Frew; Plymouth Dock Arsenal continue to be sent off to Woolwich, which depot has been nearly drained of the immense accumulation of stores which were there. All the ammunition waggons, and,- indeed, the whole of the Waggon Train, have been sent off from Ply mouth ; and it is understood that the whole of the warlike stores which have been sent to Belgium, are not solely for the use of the British army, but that a part is intended for the use of the Allies, and particu larly for the ltussian army. Several millions of ball cartridges have again been filled at the Laboratory, Mount Wise, Plymouth, since the last were dis patched, and will be sent to Woolwich in a few days. Several hundred men and boys are now employed in filling. A detachment of the first Dragoon Guards have marched into Lynn„ to relieve that of the sth, which is ordered to Nottingham. Monday se'tusight the 15th Hussars, under the command bf Lieutenant-Colonel Dataystma, were inspected by Lot(' roasts, in the military field ad joining the Barracks, at Cork, preparatory to their embarkation, which took place next day. This regi-1 meat will be a great acquisition to our cavalry in Bel gium r—they go direct to Ostend. The Ist battalion of the 27th, the 44th, and 85th regiments, with three troops of the 14th light dra goons, have arrive(' at Portsmouth from America.— The 27th (which has been sixteen years in the Penin sula and the Mediterranean) have since disembarked at Gosport, to be equipped, and to embark again as soon as possible for Ostend; and the 85th is ordered to the Downs, for the same destination. The .44th and the dragoons remain waiting for orders. The Scots Greys were inspected on Clapham Com mon, by their Colonel, General Sir JAM'S STUWART, Bart. previous to their embarkation for the Continent. After complimenting the regiment on its complete state of equipment, the General exhorted the men to consluct themselves, while on service, so as to main tain and confirm the high Character which this regi ment has always borne ; and .he engaged, on their return, to giee to each man who should wish to leave the service and reside in his native country (most of them being from Lanarkshire), a perpetual lease of a rood of land on his estate near Hamilton, to build a house and make a garden upon ; to be rent free for life, and afterwards to be subject to the usual feu rates of the country. This is equal to one-third of an English acre, and its value about al per annum.— The men were highly gratified with this liberal pro mise ; and after hailing tl..e General with three times three cheers, set off in high spirits for their port of embarkation. RAMSOATI, MAY IS.—Lewd and Lady ARUNHELL, who arrived here yesterday from Ostend, set off this morning from the Dover Castle Inn, on their journey to the Metropolis.—Arrived from Ostend the Lord Liverpool packet, Captain FORSTER ; the Marshal Blucher packet. Captain CHAPMAN ; and Resolution packet, Capt. Krnn, with passengers, &c. Several other vessels which have been over with horses and troops are in sight. They bring no fresh intelligence. —Several transports are now getting to sea. with horses for the army in Flanders; they have also en hoard 40 persons belonging to the Purveyor's Staff, and SO Hospital Assistants. A detachment of the Waggon Train and another squadron or the ht or Royal Dragoons are expected to arrive in the morn— ing for Ostend. Owing to the vast influx of persons who have arrived in the course of the day for Ostend, the Marshal Blucher packet will again proceed to that port this evening's tide, cranimed with passengers and horses: we continue shipping great numbers of contract hones, to be used by our army in Flanders for general purposes. Lord and Lady GAGE have arrived from Ostend per the Lord Liverpool, and are now at the Dover Castle Inn. DOVER, MAY 15. Arrived last night the Chi. chester Packet, Captain RUTTER, from Ostend—the left that harbour on Saturday, with the Dover, of Dover, (passage vessel). The Lord Liverpool, with Passengers for Ramsgate, attempted to get out, but could not succeed, and was obliged to put back. A French Mail arrived this morning trom Calais, as did a vessel from Boulogne, but they do not bring any particular news : —three hundred young men from the latter place are gone to join the army.— Lieutenant-General Sir D. PACE sailed this afternoon in they Princess Augusta passage vessel, Capt. Boxes, for Ostend ; the Elizabeth, Captain HAY WARD, with horses, belonging to the General's staff, sailed also for the same place. The Princess Charlotte extra packet, Capt.tin HALLANDS, sailed this morninkr also for Ostend, with a messenger; she was lately built here, is a niost beautiful vessel, and sails remarkably fast. A part of the Ist Royal Dragoons embark here to morrow. The PRINCE REGitnr returned to town on Sunday night from Windsor. Yesterday his Royal Highness gave an audience to the Duke of YORK, who transacted military business with his Royal Brother as Com mander-in• Chief. Mr. CANNING is now returning in reality from his Portuguese Embassy, which he has resigned ; an ar rangement is formed for his admission into Office. It is said to be the intention of Ministers at pre sent, that Parliament shall be prorogued about the 28th of June, it being supposed that the public busi ness will be concluded by that time. Mr. VESEY FITZGERALD entertained a party on Sun day, at his house in Great George-street.

Dancing commenced at a quarter past eleven o'clock, led off by Lady DUNALLY and the Hon. Enw. FOLNY. About twenty couples followed. The wit displayed in the appointment of a Sub ' Committee for the management of Drury-lane Thea tre, happens to be completely thrown away. No such list has been formed, or likely to be formed ; and whenever a list is made out, the nut*: will not be disclosed till co armed by the General Committee. keff'..lL INTELLIGENCE.

Some letters have reached us from Bilboa, as late as of the 10th instant, with others from Madrid and elsewhere in Spain. On the 17th April a dreadful conflagration had broken out in the capital at the gate called the Puerto-del•Sal, when upwards of 100 houses were consumed. it is supposed that this ca tastrophe is not accidental, and that it is to be attri buted to political causes. Eighty thousand men ap pear on paper as destined to occupy the Pyrenean frontiers, but not the smallest expectation is indulgei of the fulfilment of this purpose of the Court. It was reported that' preparations were making to re ceive the Pork at Valencia. -The TIGRE, 74, Captain HALLIDAY, arrived on Friday, at Portsmouth, from St. Thomas's in 27 days. The Ism, Captain CRAMER, was to sail shortly after with a convoy for England. The Camera had sailed with the Governor General, Sir JA►lss LEITH, for Crab Island, of which the Spaniards had surreptitiously obtained possession. It is, a very fine island, and is supposed will be consecrated and colonised by us. The TANAIS• and ROYALIST had pro ceeded on from Barbadoes, with the trade, for Jamaica. The Dasher, a few hours before the time for making reprisals was out, captured a large American brig, laden with provisions. The Spider and Mary were paid off. Thursday arrived at Portsmouth the brig Velocity, M. STANTON master, from C►vita Vecchia and Leg horn; lett the former place on the 26th of March, the latter on the 2d ultimo. At both these places the utmost degree tit confusion prevailed, from the preci lpitate endeavours that the English were making to leave them—and, as well, in all the ports along the Roman coast. The Velocity was hired by Hens: Hoes, Esq. an eminent Dutch Gentleman, who had been between tour and five years at Rome, and other places; and her Royal Highness the Princess of WALD, arriving at Civita Vecchia, entreated Mr. H. to allow the vessel to convey her to Leghorn ; but an English ship of war happening to come into the port, her Royal Highness embarked in her, and proceeded on the voy age. An English vessel could not be hired at any price. —The Velocity touched at Gibraltar—sailed thence with about 30 merchantmen, the 20th ult. under convoy of the Kangaroo and Orestes: the former parted for Plymouth; the latter for Cork. The Pelt. can, NORRIS, one of the convoy, arrived at Ports mouth on Saturday, for orders. The Velocity spoke the BOYNE (Lord Exarourn), the 24th ult. off Cape Finisterre, eleven days from Spithead.

The Duke's Stew ard was the bearer of a letter from CAULINCOURV (Duke of Vicenza), in Which he expresses the highest respect for that great General. It appears that even the household furniture and p;ctures were sent off; properly packed, and the whole under a military escort, to the nearest place of embarkation, where 4 vessel was provided to convey this v.luable property to England.' Alderman COSIES continues seriously indisposed.

THE BISHOP OF ST. AIAPH.--We are sorry to Mate the death of the Right Rev. Dr. Vs v iutata CLEAVER, Lord Bishop of St. Asaph. The Archdeaconry of St. Asaph and the Vicarage of Northop, were held by the Bishop. GUERNSEY, MAY l2.—L tst night, about eleven o'clock, a fire broke on in the dwelling-house and brewery belonging to Mr. Bmoirr, which were to tally destroyed. It.was with the greatest difficulty Mts. B. escaped with her life, Every article of wear ing apparel, furniture, stock, 84 . were consumed. - Bolingbroke Castle, in Lincolnshire, the remains of which fell last week, was built by ‘Villiam de No mara, first Earl of Lincoln, and afterwards descend ed to the family of Lacy; it was taken by Edward 11. from - Alicia de Lacy, because she married with out his permission, and given by Edward 111. to John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster. Henry IV. was born there. The inhabitants of Bardney and neighbouring vil !ages, in Lincolnshire, were some (Lys ago thrown into serious alarm, on account of the riotous conduct of about .500 excavators who are employed on the works now executing on the river With Am. It appears that they had entered several dwelling•houses, broken the windows, demanded provisions, and committed vari. ous other disorderly acts, so that it was found neces sary to call in the Spilsby and Louth troops of ca valry on Sunday, by whose prompt assistance, about 40 of these desperadoes were taken into custody, and and examined at Horncastle, belore the Magistrates, who committed nine of them to the House of Cor rection at Louth. The tunnel or sewer, intended to convey the water from the Regent's Park, and which in some instances is particularly inconvenient to intercourse, makes AS much progress as could be expected in so vast a work. Several of the shafts are sunk sixty perpendicular feet below the surface; and each of the numerous persons employed in the subteraneous passages, fro-ts one shaft to the next, and who are relieved every six hours, receive half a guinea for such period of cer tainly most irksome labour. It is supposed that the entire line will be open in about a month. Friday night after the Southampton Mail had ' changed horses 'at Staines and the coachman was about to take the reins, one of the wheel horses be. camerestive, and plunged furiously; the leading horses started off, and the Mail was unfortunately over turned at Staines Bridge ; there were two outside passengers, one of whom had his leg fractured, and the other was severely bruised. Mr. Calms, cabinet-maker, of Red Lion -street, Clerkenwell, whose house was robbed on Sunday sennight, whilst the family were at church, of a box containing £'2o4, in Bills of Exchange, Notes, ace. on Friday evening received a letter by the Two-penny Post, containing all the Bills of Exchange, but the rest f the property was withheld. THE PENITENTIARY Hovs&—This extensive fabric now erecting on Millbank, proceeds rapidly, and the appearance it makes is striking. The outer wall forms an octagon, indosiog at least eighteen acres. At some distance from the wall, a quadrangular building has been raised, with towers or bastious at the angles. There are three frets of windows in each side, and loop holes in the towers to correspond. Each tier consists of nine windows, secured by irate bars. The outworks are made (or various depart ments of the establishment, and the space between the wall and building is to be laid out as a kitchen garden. The entrance on Mill-bank is a square lodge, with Sone front, over the gates there is a portcullis, sur mounted by the word 44 Penitentiary," written in large characters. The entire plan and aspect of this immense undertaking conveys the of solitude and repentance. Two required to finish it. appropriate idea o years will be
