Her MAJESTY, who was of the House of Saxony, was the • third wife of FERDINAND the Vllvt, and was married in Octoher, 1819, not being at the time quite 16 years of age. FERDINAND, being now not more than 4.5 years • of age, has an opportunity of uniting himself to a Princess who may bring him an heir to his throne, and defeat the hopes of his brother's family. Of the now deceased Queen nothing of consequence, good .r bad, has been heard since she entered Spain. French Papers to the 22d inst. inform us that the Minister of Commerce, M. DC SAINT CRTCQ presented to the Chamber of Deputies, a project of law on Customhouse duties and regulations. One important feature in the Minister's speech is an acknowledgment that the vine-growers are suffering from the want of a market for their produce; and that foreigners can not become their customers unless France admits iron or some other commodities to pay for the wine. One of the modifications in the system is, consequently, a le• duction on the duty of imported iron. In a Com mittee on the project of the Minister of War, it is recognized, is that the occupation of the Hosea, and the relief afforded to the Greeks, cannot yet cease, any more than the blockade of Algiers." In the (Um bet' a tumultuous party discussion followed upon the presentation of a petition from Captain LA FONTAItia, an Officer, who refused to vote for a Ministerial cart d.date at Dijon in 1821, and was, in consequence, deprived of his commission.

By the former it appears th a the King of the NITHERLANDS has closed tie Se sin,' of the States General ; and by the latter. it seems probable that by thi, time the English have put an end to the Itihsian blockade of the Dardanelles. That it was h►gh t►me to do so, the public will be satisfied on perusing of an article which appears in another part 01 on Paper. extracted from the Hampshire Telegraph. By the Dutch Mail of this morning we have the lot: lowing news from St. Peter►hurgh and Constantinople. It Mill be observed that while the Emperor of Russia, accompanied by the EMPRESS. his eldest son, and the Gland Duke MICHAEL, have set out fir Warsaw, the SULTAN, with the Standard of the Prophet, is also about to ',move his head quarters.

His Majesty has provided for every thing during his short absence.—Piedesestess Genie, May 14. ST. PETEKSBURGH, MAT 9. The Tiflis &mite of ed March (9th April) contains the following article— •• Acbmet Paeha, as we learn from the accounts of hit. night, stopped with the remainder of his scattered army till the 10th (u2d) of March on this side of the Adsbur mountains, but returned beyond then, on that day. The auxiliary troops which were to 'join him have stopped at Ardauudsh. • " The military preparations of the Turks continue, and every thing indicates that they intend to oppose a large force to 'us in the ensuing campaign. The victory gained by Major General Hesse is the province of 6uitia, has made an extremely favourable impression on the inhabitants, and the pr sent conduct of these people Is worthy of the g r praise.

This timely warning enabled our troops to repulse the enemy.

Numerous troupe have marched to that place since the Seraskier has invected the fortifications.

Stnce be letb.inst. several attacks have been made upon &tribal, h which Hussein Pack' and his troops have indeed shown great courage, but without being able to overcome the brave resistance of the Russian garrison. On the ether band, the Russians have failed in an attack on and are said to have sustained con siderable loss. They appear disposed to employ their whale free in the d, fence of Methoh.

A Rus s. ea cu: pa of four thousand men attempted a landing sear, Teel:um:id, but was compelled to re•erobark with great loss, after an obstinate engagement several transmits were captured 04 tb oqgisioti. These several actions, and the increase Of the Turkish forces, may have a great Influence on the resolutions of the Court of Teheran. No lartber accounts ►ave been received of the pope. commetions in Fends. but the blusselmen seem to regard a breath with Russia as inevitable. It Is certainly known that the Nandi. the Circassian, and the Lugano are in arms; and the Khans of Tartary have declared their readiness to fight against the infidels. • The personal appearance of the Sultan in public places when the purchase of provisions caused disorders. has bad very beneficial effects, and will prevent all future disturbances. By his espress orders, to protect the bakers from ill usage and prevent alias:ems, the bread Is now publicly distributed in the Churches, Mosques, and Synagogues. First the Musselmen and the Rajas of all sects were registered, and now receive daily two loaves at forty drag per bead.

DRURY CANgITIRATRE. THK NKW PLAY. A new historical play, called The fisraossa, or The free o f Paris in 1449, was performed on Friday night at Mary-lane Theatre to a habitant& and numerous audience. The incidents are connected with the commotion which troubled Frame, and particularly the City of Paris, during the minority of Loins the XIV. through the intriguing spirit cat Cardinal Masao's, •' and the author has every reason to be satisfied with the tribute bestowed last night on kis merit.. He has contrived to work up a most agreeable dramatic antertainnteut from the materials before hint ; and believing, as we JO, that historical plays, as wcU as historical novels and romances, are valuable additions to our general stock of literature. we trust that the author—said to be Mr. Paiincno—will continue to and himself of the feline sources of modern, as well as ancient, history, fur his agreeable labour.. la the representation of the Paerneses,we had those popular performers, LWOW, Joann, Coates, and Vines. Miss R.

ORDER OF MALTA. In the rector proceedings of Parliament upon theitti figu ra is , the Catholic Relief Bill for suppressing ail Moats bound by m e , manic vows, Mr. Mows inquired, " whether the Oases Of MALTA was included in that clause?" a question which must have seism front a forgetfulness on the part of Mr. \lows of the hist,,,y this Sovereign Order of Knighthood. This, indeed, is eg gg ,,,, bin conadering how little has been spoken of the Order of late...4 e Knights seeing that nocircumstance of importance presented um to call forth thelrunergies, and thus lave remained fora long t u t inactive. With regard to this distiiiruished Oanen, It may not be cot s e time of place now to state, that it was originAly established at jit ru.alem in 109 n, daring the Crusades; that its first object was ti offer an asylum auil protettion to the skit altal sertry pilgrims to d b . Holy Land: and that it was afterwards formed into a mig tati euvereign °slim of knighthood. which became the mew ping it i ld and renowned that ewer existed, sending Envoys to every Cop t k Eutope, and basing the most powerful Monarchscoorting in t ik ante.

Besides these daces of charity and benevolence, the pararateerc duties of the Omega, upon being formed into a Military %we e . tint, were the pretec.ion of Trade and Commerce from pirates; and likewhe of all Christians front Turkish slavery, in both which causes it gained the mo.t lasting r. Dawn. The unparalleled oaa t. once the Knights oppu►ed to the Turks at Rhodes, Cando, Malta, Ike. has probably saved &trope from the humiliating and dreadful coiss , quences of an invasion by the Turks, as there is little &mit f SoLlillAies lineations, after his successful conquest of Palestine, to have subjected and desolated all Chilstesidoin. Among the KOK:IM of MALTA are Christians of every union and creed—eons of the most powerful Monarchs and the taunt distinguished Nobles of Europe. The honourable decorations of the Oman are a passport to every Court, and an itarodlictioa in every society. It possesses sovereign power, and is competent to perform every act of severe intl. It crestesKnights, grants rein. nsi•siaw by sea and land, and sort:lates as an equal with ivy Sovereign or anima. Its rights, plivileges, and immunities hot been acknowledged by the Congresses of Aix-la-Chapelle, Vero°, Ifleoo3, and particularly by the famous Treaty of Amiens. Its 114 g is respected by all whims, is free upon every sea, and received in every port on the most friendly footing. At the same time tau this is an universal MIDIS, Mee Knights of Malta compose a neutral Power. Their exertions are not directed to the *minimise and eitention of property, or of measures offensive or defensive. except against pirates ur marauders cd every duaription ; and were it los as other purpose than to protect the deeply injured commerce is the Levant from the swarms of vagabonds that at presets infest them seas, it is much to be desired that the Kenitra of Id ei.ra were at the moment in all t►eir pristine power and glory. Perhaps the days of chivalry have not yet tamed for ever. The KJOGIITS of Maw, for these and other nosons—for the sake of unhappy Greece, may yet be indeed to arouse freest thesis very reprithessibk lethargy.

I world recommend is Duryea D. a perusal of Lord Domain speech Fast night in tM House of Lards. on the power of Parliament for bringing forth papers or documents; and when he has done with that 1 do not dunk he will venture to speak so very rashly ea what Parliament mu or comsat do. _ _ _ But ' with this escepdon, although Doctor Disco offers no owe anent, itens. he indulges in antpk comment and taunting recrimination.
