Chevalier Zaccari has made known to our Court, 1141 4 conduct of that of Rome will no longer ad mit of his prolonging his mission, withoui eintipro-1 lisinrhis public character arid national honour. The answer 'of the Cardinal Secretary of State to M. Zaecari's Note, proves evidently that the Pope Persists in regarding King Joachim as Seated on a whit► Joes not belong to him. There appears to be Some difference between our Court and that of the Grand Duke of Tuscany. Has this Prince changed his opinions with respect to out King ? It is at least certain that his envoy did not assist at the last review, nor was he present at our Court fete which took place on the 11th February. The King, presided over a Council of State yester ,Jay, which was convoked for extraordinary purposes. Lori iigr nce has been received from Vienna, but nothin; , more hag transpired; only certain persons are very much alarmed. In the ruvatt time Joachim is obliged to keep up a very heavy military establishment, and how this is to be done without oppressing the people with fresh taxes, no person can tell. The Neapolitans are dis contented enough already, and to paying more, that is out of the question. This morning we also received a supply of German, Dutch, and Belgian Journals. They are now as 'Mach at •ariance in their reports concerning Joachim, King of Naples, as they were on the subject of Saxony and Poland. One Journal asserts that his claims have been recognized, while another maintains that he has been deposed by Congress. All the affairs of Swit zerland are described as finally settled, and the merit of this satisfactory arrangement is ascribed to Great Britain. The Belgian Clergy have prohibited the use, in future, of the Napoleon Catechism throughout Belgium : Yesterday morning, in consequence of the Meeting in Palace-Yard, a vast number of mechanics were seen in all the streets leading to Westminster, on their way to attend the Meeting which had been called by the High Bailiff. The multitude assembled in Palace-yard exceeded in number any assemblage witnessed on that spot for many, many years. The line extended from the Thames all the way across St. Margaret's.street. Ie front, the concourse spread beyond the coach stand. Every coach was turned into a platform, and surmounted by a crowd of specta tors ; and even the niches in front of Westminster Hall were filled by person); who could nut obtain a nearer view of the proceedings on the hustings. After the business of the Meeting was over the po pulace took the horses from Sir FRANCIS BUBDETT':. carriage, and drew him home to his house in Pic cadilly. In the mean time, A considerable body of constahles took possession of the passages to the Houses of Lords and Commons. The doors on the side of Westmin. ster.hall were closed, and the only ingress left open was that on the side of the House of Lards. Every person seeking admission was closely examined, and none but Members• or others coming on business, were admitted. The civil power was on the inside, and there was no assemblage of the populace on the outside until the evening. Even then it did not at any time exceed fifty persons, principally boys. —Not the slightest disposition to riot, however, occurred until shortly afttr the House of Commons adjourned, when a great body of people proceeded down St. Martin's-lane, exclaiming against the Corn Bill, and threatening destruction to those by whom it was supported. The crowd increased as it ad vanced towards the House of Commons, where the rioters learned, much to their dissatisfaction, that an adjournment had taken place. Being disappointed in the expectation of meeting any of the obnoxious mbers, they commenced an attack on the windows of that part of the House zi Commons which faces St. Margaret's Church. The constables being un able to repel them, a messenger was dispatched to the Horse Guards for assistance. On the arrival cf a troop of horse, the populace retreated with precipi. wins) into St. Margaret's Church-yard, where they amused themselves hooting the soldiery, and vocife rating curses on the Corn Bull and its authors. At an early hour the populace, to an immense number, made two successive attacks upon the house of Lord CASTLEREAGH, in St. James's-square, but on each occasion were dispersed by the cavalry, who watched and followed them in all their movements. A strong military force, both horse and foot, were then stationed in front of the house, and a file of in fantry in the hall. Mr. Roesesores house, in Old Burlington-street, which suffered so much on Mon day, was again attacked. The work of demolition there having been considered complete, the guard was withdrawn in the evening, but the populace as sembled and attacked the premises again. A party of the Foot Guards soon arrived, and dispersed them. The military having left the spot, the popu lace assembled again. and were again dispersed by a patty of cavalry. In these movements the ha'e to lament a melan choly occurrence which took place opposite to the house of Mr. ROBINSON. Our Readers will have per. cei'Ved that the windows of the house of that Gentle man had been completely demolished on Monday nights last night, from some remissness we suppose, the street in which he lives was almost the only one unprotected by the military, who were so numerously dispersed in most Other places. The consequence was, that a mob was able to assemble, which proceeded to further mischief', by flinging krge stones' at the shut - . • , ten; some soldiers, who, know *plated, had been statit:isea in the Odours, 'fired Von the v:inalows seven shots Were distinctly heard, but five of them Were supposed to be the report of Wink cariiidges.— Oae shot, ho4vevers unfortunately took effect, and a man was seen to fall. The crowd ihen dispersed ; the person who was struck was taken up and carried to Mr. Kaaatsba's, the ' , neon, but he was found to be quite lifeless, having been shot through the heast. The body wis theu takes to St. James's In firmary to be owned. No card or Letter was disco vered about the deceased Which could lead to a knowledge of his name or situation; brat 'from the buttons on his coat it is conjectured that he was a naval officer. The populace, after being 'dispersed at Mr. Roatzames, divided and went on several routes. Some went to Poarsrast-soomte.—Arriving here about nine o'clock, they immediately began their attack on the house of Samuel Sttphens, Esq. late M.P. for St. Ives. Mr. Stephens is now at Tregony Castle, in Cornwall, and has not been is town these nine months. His house in Baker-street being left in the care of an elderly female servant, the mob met with no resist ance, and the door' and windows in front, together with the iron railway of the area, were totally demolished. Prom Baker-street, the mob proceeded to No. 38, HAILIT.STILSZT, where, evidently hy mistake, the house of Mrs. Sampson, a most respectable and incifanive Lady, was the object of their fury—doors, windows, and iron railings, all were broken and demolished, before Mrs. Sampson or her domestics bad time to con ult their safety by retreat. From Harley-street this division df the mob proceeded to POILTLAND.PLACk, but here the military were collected in sufficient numbers to.disperse them. Other detachments, how ever, had begun the 'fork of destruction at No. 19, Wasarott• scatter, the residence of Lord Kum, of which every pane of glass was smashed, and the window-frames and door broken to pieces. Sir Wr LLIAiI ROWLIVetk o at N 0.14, in the since street, shared the fate of those we have already men tioned. In no instance did these destroying r anks exceed fifty in num ber. Acting in detachments, they distracted and eluded the at te ration of the Guards; for although the scene of last night's ope rations does not exceed the circumference of half a mile, the whole of the mischief was effected in the momentatly absence of the military. It is in this manner only that we can accunnt for ' ' the havock which took place in MANSFIELD•STMT, PORTLAND- rz.wcr.-1 he Right Hon Lord DATHI: its?, one of NI Ma;esty's Prine'p.ti Secretaries of State, lives at No. 9 in this i•teet, and thither the mob repaired, venting their fury on the front of that, and the adjoinimt houses of Lady DP.NNT Flora, I . IIIOMAII HUNTER, Esq. In the I. LI use there wits some appearance of a disposition to riot. Alter &kik a mob collected suddenly in the vicinity of Finsbury-aqt.are, sh4;cce they proceeded down Chiswell-street to Mr. WtairsasAit's Ikewbeese, where they destroyed the ;villdOWS with a showek 'of ittinfekand Instantly dispersed, having neard that some military were at hand. Besides the person who was shot opposite Mr. Rn. GINSON I s door, a poor woman ieteived a musket bal; through the head, and a gentleman's servant received a shot in the thigh. Both were carried to St. George's Hospital, with little hope of recovery. In none of the outrages of list nigl.t did the mob attempt to enter any of ths. houses which they attacked. SECOND EDITION. STAR-OFFICE, THREE O'CLOCK. OFFICIAL BULLETIN. " WAR DEPARTMENT, MARCH S. 44 Captain WYLLVI arrived this morning with dis patches from Major-General LAMBIRT, detailing ope rations against the enemy in the neighbourhood of New Orleans. It appears that the army, under the command of Major-General REANN, was landed at the head of the Bayale, in the vicinity of New Or leans, on the morning of the S'Sd December, without opposition it was, however, attached by the ene my in the course of the night succeeding the land ing, when, after an obstinate contest, the enemy were repulsed at all points with considerable loss. “ On the morning of the 25th, Sir E. PAw. !lAN arrived, and assumed the command of the army. " On the 27th, at day-light, the troops moved for ward, driving the enemy's picquets, when the main body •i the enemy was discovered strongly posted behind a breast work extending abort a thousand yards, with the right resting on the Mississippi, and die left on a thick wood. " The interval between the 27th December and Bth January, was employed in preparation for an at tack on the enemy's position. The attack that was intended to be made on the night of the 7th did not, owing to the difficulties experienced in the passage of the Mississippi by a corps under Lieutenant• Colonel THORNTOS, which was destined to unite on the right bank of that river, take place till early on the morn ing of the Bth. " The division to whom the storming of the enemy's *ork was entrusted, moved to the attack at that times but being too soon discovered by the enemy, were re ceived with a galling and severe fire from all parts of their line. a Major-Gen. Sir E. PAILENHAM, who had placed himself at the head of the troops, was unfortunately killed at the head of the Glaris, and Major-Gene rals Goss and K*ANZ nearly at the same moment borne off wounded. The effect of this on the troops caused a hesitation in the troops, in their advance; and, although order was restored, by the advance of the reserve ender Major- General LAMBERT, to whom the command of the .triay had 'devolved and Colo s itel Tiiontrrosr lad succeeded in the operation assigned to him on the rigitt bank of the River, yet the Ntijir-Gener il, on • he consideration of the ditlicultieS which yet remained to be surmounted, did not think himsel jott;fied in ordering a renewal of the attack ; the troops !her:rote retired to the position w!lich they hid occ !pis.t! ,::. , 1- vious to the attack, in that position th?y the evening of the 10th, when Ore who)! of the wounded, with the exception of eijeny (which 7t was Considerei dangerous to temov •) the fiat 3rtiPc ry, and alt the stores of every description I.av;.lg I,:rert embarked ; the army retired to the head of Cie Bayale, where the landing had h"en originally ef fected, and re-embarked without molestation.
