The Purser irriVed with them at Lord Bathurst's Office this forenoon; but tl.eir contents have not yet transpired. • From Private Letters, however, we learn a very ;ova fact, and which will be productive of incalcu lable results. There . has long been a great and in creasing population in India—the descendants of Europeans from Indian mothers and their progeny. Many of them are well educated, and people of con siderable property; and, latterly, they have been studiously investigating what are their rights as free-horn British subjects. They have commenced a Newspaper to facilitate the objects of their in quiry, a measure which has excited no small de gree of alarm hi a country where the Supreme Go vestment has been, till lately, in the habit of dispen sing very summary judgment on all who presumed to talk of a free press. In fact the individual who would have ventured, a few years ago, to publish any thing not approved of by the servants of the Government in that quarter, would have been in stantly shipped off for England. On inquiry it has been found that the rights of this mixed race are so completely guarded by the last Charter granted to the Company, that it is not in the power of the Indian Government to adopt summary measures against these free-press men, the race in que;tion being expressly put under the protection of the Courts of Judicature, and their rights secured as British subjects amenable only to the British laws. In this dilemma, the question under discussion by those who regret this extension of a free Press in India, when these leans came away, was—Whether they should oppose the free Journals, by establishing counter Journals? or, by occupying the columns of those before printed with the license of the Govern ment, with counter statements and arguments!! We rejoice at the prospect which this event holds out for the benefit of mankind. All public measures in India will now be openly canvassed as they ought to be. • Europe will no longer be abused with mysti fied statements and direct falsehoods respecting the Eastern Hemisphere, .and the Natives will receive that instruction which a free Press and a free Trade never fail to dispense, where these blessings are se cured to the people. The Paris Papers of &liday have arrived since cur Paper was put to press. They -..ontain nothing what ever which throws any light upon the reported Con. spiracy ; and their contents arc otherwise unimportant. We mentioned yesterday the spirit of discontent which :►as arisen in the Province 6f Canada; and in a preceding column of our Paper of to-day, we give some details respecting it. It is to be hoped that any representation of grievances from so impor tant a branch of our colonial possessions, will meet with the most prompt and conciliatory consideration from his Majesty's Government. Yesterday at three o'clock the PRINCE. REGENT held a Court at Carlton-house, at which General Count SCEBRAS TAFTERRATA was presented to his !loyal Highness by his Excellency Count PFEFFEL, the Ba varian Minister, upon his arrival in England. The Ruov.sr alio held a Privy Council, at which the sanction of the marriage of his Royal Highness the Duke of CLARENCE with her Serene Highness the Princess Arumnine of SAXE MEININGEN was for mally given. His Royal Highness gave audien c e s to the Bavarian Minister, Count ScesaAs l'AurEtt • RATA, the Duke of CLARENCE, Count MUNSTER, the LORD CHANCELLOR, Earl of HARROWBY, Earl of LI VERPOOL, the Duke of CUMBERLAND, and VLSCOaIIt SIDMOUTH. • Her MA tr.-:ry was stated yesterday to he much the same as she was on Tuesday. The PRINCE RE tXNT went on Tuesday evening to visit his beloved Parent, and again last evening, at Kew Palace. Yesterday morning the Duke of YORK left town for Kew and Windsor. The unsettled state of her MAJESTY'S health has determined her !loyal highness the Duchess of GLOUCESTER to devote herself entirely to personal attendance on her august Mother ; and in the mean while her illustrious Consort will visit Italy, and pass some months in Rome, his native city. His Royal Highness will set forward in the course of a few dal i—considerable reductions are making at Gloucester-house in consequence. It is understood that the marriage of his Royal Highness the Duke of CLARFNce. with the Princess of 1p SINGEM will take place on Saturday next, at Carlton House. The nuptial dress of the Bride con sists of a rich silver tissue dress, ornamented with superb ilrussel; point lace, an elegant border, and a large di unond clasp in front. Head dress, a profu sion of diamonds; necklace, car-rings, and bracelets, of superb diamonds. Yesterday, about three o'clock, the Princess and Duchess of MEININGEN rode out in one of the RE GENT's carriages. through rond-street, Oxford -street, Hyde Park, and Kensington Gardens, where they walked souie time and viewed the Palace. They pro ceeded fi um thence across the country by Fulham to Battersea Bridge, and returned by Chelsea College. i 1 9 I . . . I t ! • I,i . . . s . 1 i ) ~ I' t , \ 1 'l 1 ' , .-. .

The courier of the Spanish Embassy at the French Capital had brought letters to several commercial houses communicating the above intelli gence, of which M. ONIS is said to have conveyed the particulars to the Court of Madrid. This, we are apprehensive, will be considered as an important blow by the Spanish Cabinet. Grounds have been urged in vindication of the measure, of which we know not yet how to estimate the solidity or the jus tice ; but where is an usurpation ever attempted, which we do not see coloured with some pretence of right? What atrocious injury was ever committed, which the aggressor did not strive to mask under the embroidery of self-defence, or retaliation? We fear that the real and substantial cause is the present feebleness of the Spanish Government. Yesterday the Grand Duke MICHAEL, attended by Baron NICIIOLAI and Sir WILLIAM CONGREVE, &c. went to view the London Docks, where he was re ceived by several of the Directors, who conducted him over the extensive Establishment. His Imperial Highness proceeded from thence to the West India Docks, where he was received by a guard of honour of the Guards. After viewing the premises, his Im perial Highness embarked on board the Admiralty barge, and proceeded in her to the Whitehall Stairs, where his carriage was in waiting to convey him to Stratford House. Tuesday evening the Marchioness of IiBRITORD't House, in Manchester-square, was illuminated in a style of the most refulgent splendour, in compliment to the Grand l)uke MICHAEL of Russia. The seven apartments on the ground floor, with all their match less embellishments, were thrown open at ten o'clock. An additional object of attraction was the garden, which was also lighted up with many thousand varie gated lamps, interspersed among the trees in a variety of beautiful forms. The Band belonging to the 3d Regiment of Foot Guards were stationed on the lawn, where they played martial airs with their accus-, tomed excellence. In the interior of the mansion, a temporary conservatory was formed. The agreeable odor; of the plants, and the coolness of the rooms, were delightful. The GRAND DIHIE was delighted with the nourele arrangements. The most costly refreshments were provided, set out on tables in the saloon, with great taste and grandeur. Among the company were The Prince Regent, Prince Montmorenry,'Prinee de Rohan ; their Exzellencics the Austrian, Russian, Ftench, Spanish, Da, : Mali, Hanoverian, American, Bavarian, and Pruisiasi Ambassa dcrrs, and a long list of Fasbioaahles. Lady CHARLOTTE STRVTT'S Ball, in Hntfor7d street, May-fair, on Tuesday evening, was attended by 100 Fashionables. The dancing commenced in the great drawing-room at eleven o'clock, and con cluded soon after four in the morning. A cold col lation was provided, with an abundant as►ortment of the finest wines. The baptism of the young Princess Royal of Wirt- TEMBURG took place at Stutgard on the 23d ultimo, in presence of the whole Court. She re:eived the names of SOPIIIA FREDERICA MATILDA.
