After some other unimportant matters of form, the Proclamation for the prorogation was then read, and the Chamber separated. An article under the head of Constantinople, states, that the negociations between the Sublime Porte and Russia have experienced an entire stagnation. At the departure of the last Courier, Baron STROGONOTI had not yet received the instructions which he ex pected from Ratisbon. The Minister of Spain has. been equally unsuccessful in obtaining the satisfaction which he demands, and which has been supported by the concurrence of all the other European Ministers. This sort of indifference on the part of the Ottoman Court to the European Ambassadors, presents a sin gular contrast to the favour shown to the Ambas sador from Persia, whose mission, according to report, has for its object to establish between the two Courts, a kind of federation, which may guarantee them from any attack from European Powers. French 5 per Cents. Saturday, 68fr. 50e. We have received this morning American Papers to the 25th ultimo. Congress rose on the 20th April, and adjourned till December. Before rising, they resolved that the PRIAIDINT of the United States be requested to ob tain from the Spanish Authorities all the records and official documents appertaining to the Government of Louisiana, particularly such as concerns grants and titles to land which may have been taken out of that country at the period of its cession to the Unit ed States. The following Extract from the Aurora not only confirms the report of a victory having been gained by MORILLO over the Independents, but adds an account of some farther successes said to have been gained by that . General:— " PHILADELPHIA, APRIL SO. " We have received Caraccas Gazettes to the 16th and 18th of March, containing the official dispatches from the Commander in Chief MoatLLo to the Cap tain General, pro kmpore, of Venezuela, giving an account of his great success against the Insurgents. He claims a series of victories. " The detail of the battle of the 15th March is of interest. It was fought at La Cabrera. BOLIVAR lost 250 men slain, 40 loads of ammunition, and about 2200 horses and mules. Monza.° continued the pursuit, and mentions in his dispatches that he would follow them to the Orinoko. His head-quar ters were at Caquira on the 15th March, and at Villa de Cura on the 16th." BUENOS AYRES-CHILI. ~ KINCiSTON. (JAMAICA), APRIL ii. " In addition is what I have already said, I have it further to state, that the movements of the inhabitants, situated between the Llanos and Santa-Fe. every day become more serious, not with.tanding the absolute want of arms, a few miserable lar.ces being the only weapons they are able to obtain. Two letters from the capital Of Santa-Fe, and dated the latter end of Fe bruary, the one from a Creole and the other from a Spaniard, concur in stating, that Colonel Torres, in the entire confidence of the Spanish Viceroy Samano, had gone out about the be ginning of the same month with 500 or 600 soldiers, and in a few days 80 wounded returned, stating that they had lost 150 by deserti . Of the Commander and the remainder of the troops nothing is said, so that here we are anxiously looking out for the next news from Carthagena. It is reported that Santan der, a Patriotic Chief, has formed a junction with Colonel No nato Perez. Br the last accounts from Panama, we understand the Spanish trade in that quarter is completely cut up." "SANTIAGO DE CHILI, DEC. 24, 1817. " The army has left this, and the tc.wn is in charge of the Micas (volunteers). Sra I►laerus's head-quarters are twelve leagues from the coast, towards Valparaiso, where he himself is. O'llmoms has the remainder of the army, about 4,000 men, under him to the southward. SAN Deanne has about the same number. The Spanish expedition of 4,000 men from Lima was daily expected to land. The army under Saa Rearm look ing for their arrival with impatience, and all ranks in the highest spirits at the prospect of having another opportunity of meet ing the Spaniards. At all events, come what may, we have not (the British) the least apprehension of the reinstatement of the Spanish Government. 44 We expect two ships of 30 guns each from the United States in about a month, if they arrive the fate of thewhole coast of the Pacific will be soon decided in favour of the Patriots. At Valparaiso there are the Perla and Minerva, of 450 tons each, taken from the Spaniards, with valuable cargoes; the Jesus Maria also prize, bound to Talcaguano wi t h supplies for the Royalists, together with the following vessels : " British—Bengal, 300 tons • Hyver, 400 ; Packet, 300 ; Ca talina Schooner; Wane!

EXTRACT OP A LETTER PROW BUENOS AYRES, JAN. i 5 " Since my last nothing material has transpired, excepting the intelligence of an unsuccessful attack on Talcakuna by General O'llicours, who, after carrying two redoubts, was obliged to return with considerable loss." The PRINCE REGENT had a Grand Dress Party at Carlton-House last night, consisting of a great num ber of the Nobility and Gentry. The company began to assemble between nine and ten o'clock, and did not break up till a late hour. Mr. SILVESTER, King's Messenger, left town yes terday evening for Pans, with dispatches. Mr. LATCHFORD, King's Messenger, left town yes terday evening, with dispatches for the Earl of CLAN CARTY, at the Hague. The absence of the CHANCELLOR of the Excut- Quint from the House of Commons, last night, was occasioned by the death of his mother-in-law, Lady AUCKLAND. Some Founders and others, at Lyons, have been recently arrested on the charge of manufacturing Busts, in copper, of Boruimerz. It has been stated in letters from St. Helena, that BONAPARTE has lately received, by some unknown means, 400,000 francs in gold, and a large quantity of diamonds. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Bills 19 22 pr —Omnium { 1 prem. , A Bill of considerable importance was last night brought into the House of Peers by the LORD CHAN- CELLOR, rendered necessary by the declining health of the Queen.. The object of the Bill is to provide . i for the care of the KING's person in such a manner as Inay meet the impaired health .of her MAJESTY 1 . and the event of her demise. i The Alien Bill passed the House of Commons last 1 night. It is rather a curious coincidence, that while , . this Bill is in progress through Parliament, the French Chamber of Deputies should have been occupied with the consideration of a Petition from the celebrated Count d'Anort.y, complaining of the treatment which himself and other French Exiles have expe- rienced from Foreign Powers, in hunting them from State to State. The Reporter, (in the name of the Committee to whom the Petition had been referred,) remarks, that these Exiles " are not the less French- .l . men, and, as such, are entitled to enjoy, in the coun- tries in which they reside, the civil rights attached to that quality."—This Report, if it means any thing, holds, that though as Frenchmen they cannot enjoy, in their own country, residence or the advantages of 1 i civil protection, yet they have a right to them every where else. We are not advocates for severities against Aliens, especially such as need protection, by being expelled from their natural homes by their own national kindred ; but we cannot subscribe to a I doctrine which would establish it as a principle, that other nations are bound to furnish shelter to every miscreant that may be banished from France. The Paris Papers of Sunday arrived this morning. The Chamber of Peers met on Saturday, when the Duke of RICHELIEU, and the KEEPER of the SEALS, presented a Royal Proclamation, ordaining the closing of the Session of 1817, and the Chamber separated amid cries of Vive le Roi. . The Chamber of Deputies also met on the same . , day ; but previous to the reading of the Royal Pro- clamation for the closing of the Session, M. KIVIERE, Reporter of the Committee of Petitions, made a Re- port on a Petition of the exile Count REONAUD De 1.1 . SAINT JEAN D'ANGELY, which, as contrasted with the proceedings in otir own Parliament on the Alien Bill, merits notice. Count D'ANGELY, said the Re- porter, solicits the intervention of the Chamber, in order that the Diplomatic Agents of France may ob- tain for French Exiles in foreign countries, that pro- tection which the laws of nations, misinterpreted to their prejudice, ought to secure to them. " If, as I dare hope from your justice," says the Petitioner, 6, you will remit my Petition to a Committee, the facts which it will be easily able to ascertain, will furnish the detail and the proofs of all the grievances which my companions in exile and myself have experienced, and which, till now, we have sup- ported with courage and resignation. But their duration, the appeal ante of a prolongation without end, have at last exhausted our physical as well i as moral strength ; indignation against injustice has succeeded to patience ; the pride of a French ; . soul, faithful to a country which misfortune and exile have only made dearer to it than ever, revolts against the absolute subjection in which an inexorable foreign I • police would hold it, and the humiliation of which seems to reflect upon the nation to which it belongs. It is not the termination of my exile that I solicit;— time will ere long bring round the return of justice, and the cessation of unfounded resentments ; the ne- cessity of banishing party divisions, of forgetting the past, and of effecting a general reunion of sentiment and will, will be felt by all hearts truly French. But until this happy epoch an ive, the exiles have need of powerful protection against the rigorous treatment which they experience, and which as such is scarcely 1; to be equalled in the annals of history." After giving an abstract of the remainder of the I Petition, the Reporter added—" Considering that the individuals comprehended in the punishment of exile i inflicted by the Ordinance of the 24th of July, 1815, and 1?y the law of the month of January following, • r are not the less Frenchmen enjoying the civil rights attached to that quality ; and on that account, and 4 as long as they observe the laws of the country in 1 '''' 1 which they may reside, they ought to enjoy the ad- ? 1 vantages which the laws of nature and of nations assure to every individual, the Commission propose the remit of the petition to the Minister for Foreign , Affairs." M. SAULNIER supported the proposition for the re- mit, conceiving it just that the Chamber should shield w ith its protection, those exiles, who, seeking an asylum abroad, respect the laws of the country which receives them, since, especially, foreign governments • 1 ) can have nothing to gain by accumulating needless rigours upon men who only ask to enjoy the rights of 1 t , hospitality.

NORTHERN EN PEDITION. Letters have been received from Officers on board the ships destined for the Arctic Expedition, dated May 2, at Lerwick, in the Shetland Isles. The brig which accompanied the DOROTHEA, is stated to have been hauled on shore, having made more water than they could wish. The Officers and men were in health and spirits, and anxious to get clear or Si d e British ports. They are to touch at Spitzbergen. A Mail from Hamburgh contains the following accounts of most dreadful and destructive fires at the favourite Palace of the King of Saxony, on the Elbe; also at Copenhagen, at Constantinople, and in Pome rania, and Silesia: DILUDIN, Mae 3 —On the ist of May, at two o'clock, the favourite summer residence of our King, the Castle of Pilnita, on the Elbe, celebrated for its beautiful situation, was burnt down. On account of the distance. it was some time before much assistance could be afforded from this city; and thus, in' four hours, what was called the Old Castle, the Opera House,' ' the Brewery, &c. were destroyed. Nothing has been saved. All the state furniture of the Palace Is burnt, as well as the 'Gal lery of Pictures, containing portraits of the ancestors of the Saxon Family, numerous and venerable by their excellence and age; the Temple of Venus, in which were the well painted por traits of all the mistresses of a former Saxon Prince; all the furniture and paintings of the Chapel are also burnt ; among the latter, the Altar-piece is particularly regretted. It was a master piece of I.rcas Castacu, the contemporary and friend of Luxus& The Opera House was destined only to representations for the Court. The decorations are said to have been very beautiful. and the wardrobe magnificent; all is lost. Nothing certain is known of the origin of this misfortune. No lives were lost. PMERANLA, May R•-•01:1 the 341 inn. SS houses were burnt down in the night, at Gollnow. Above 100 families hate saved only their lives from the Games. On the Ist a similar misfit; tune at Rankest, in Siksia, reduced 30 families to misery. • Corannacra. Mar 12.--. This afternoon a dreadful fire broke out in the Square of the Garrison, which has already reduced several buildings to ashes, and at the later departure of these accounts still raged, and on account of the high wind is not easily to be extinguished. It is said to have been caused by the carelessness of the painters in boiling oil. Coerrawnsorte, Aram 10.—About a week ago the unfortu nate family of the deceased Marto, (the widow is a Princess Appoilanti) perished in the most dreadful manner in the flames. Their great house at Terapia suddenly was is flames on all the four sides at once. The fire spread so rapidly that none of the family could escape, and the mother and son, three women, eight children, and four servants, perished in the dames. It was only by the greatest exertions that the Palace of the French Embassy was saved. It is generally believed that it was wil fully set on fire. To SAVE IS T Gnm.—Those who delayed to buy Tickets and Shares in the last Lottery, had to pay 901. for a Ticket and 40s. for a Sixteenth, yet then there were only 100 Capitals, and 18,000 Tickets. Now there are 107 Capitals and only 14,000 Tickets, and the price, at present, is 191. for a Ticket, and 275. a Sixteenth. That they will not be lower is certain— ' that they will be higher is certain—that those who de lay to buy will pay more is certain—that these who do not buy cannot get a Capital Prize is certain—that the first 20 Prizes drawn on the King's Birth-day will be all Capitals is certain—and that the Reader may Fet one of the Three Twenty Thousands, if be buys immediately, is sin certain.

COURT OP CHANCERY, MAY The Loan CHANCELLOR this morning _ Fittings in Lincoln's bin Hall. He was occupied:h. greater part of the morning in hearing the case Lord Stewart and Lady Emily Vane Tempest, i 4 private room. The case was chiefly respecv r. _ :..e proposals of marriage to b e su b m i tte d to the Maser., The minutes of the proposals were, after WON &S.' cussion, agreed to. At half-past ten, his Lordship came into Court. The only case of importance was that of a lunatic, named Caple, who, at the age cf ;2, married a young woman of the age of 29, and had since b e . come a lunatic! It appeased the parties had lees married about five years, and have two child ren , the youngest only one month old I—The motion wasocb e . ther ale wife should have the custody of the lunatic, or whether he should be continued under tae same guardians as before his nuptial. The LORD CHANCELLOR took an a',.le view of the case, and declared his regret that lunatic were so little attended to by the Counsel and Solici. tors. This was not the only case in which he had a similar complaint to make, and he was determine,; is future to make the expense of non-attendance fall upon the Solicitors, but not upon the suitors. In the present case he refused the wife to have any care sf her husband, and dismissed the petition. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY WDOUGALL V. WATKINS. This was an action to recover 221. 15s. for goods furnished to the defendant's wife. The defence set up was, that the goods were furnished unknown to the husband, and that they were not suited to the de fendant's condition. The plaintiff was a linen-draper in Bond-street ; the defendant an attorney's cleik.— He married on the 4th of June last, and between that time and November the articles in question, consist ing of callico, diaper, Lornbaxeen, a silk gown, s a handkerchief, &c. & c . were furnished. The delivery of the goods was proved, aid also that they were fur nished at a reasonable price. Mrs. Watkins's mother was called, who stated that she was present when the articles were furnished to her daughter. The plain tiff did not press any thing on her daughter; he only said she had better take them now, as hereafter per haps her husband would grumble at havieg to pay for them. An embroidered shawl he took back, en the witness observing it was too expensive an arnie for her daughter. The red silk gown the witness also objected to ; it was charged two guineas, but her daughter said, she was Watkins's wife, and would have a silk gown. The witness thought Watkins hal a right to expect to find her daughter with such things as these, for when he was courting her witness I told him that she was very extravagant, and a very bad temper ; he had, however, married her, notwith standing, aid they quarrelled soon afterwards. Lord Ettxtesoaouom put it to the defendant's Counsel to consider whether he could get rid of the whole demand ; the callico and towelling were cer tainly necessaries. Mr. SCARLYTT said, he felt the force of his Lord ship's observation, and it was agreed that a verdit: should be taken for the plaintiff for 41. 16s. 6d.
