The foilowlng day (the 18th) his Majesty left Ve. hengain for Hersfeld, where he arrived on horseback at four o'clock in the afternoon, by crossing the moun tains. Every where his Majesty was able to convince himself of the good disposition which animate his/ subjects in this part of his States • every where he was received with expressions of their love and of their devotion. On the I'9th his Majesty left Hersfeld, at eight in the morning, and arrived at Altmorschin ; mount ing afterwards on horseback, his Majesty proceeded across the mountains to the castle of Spangen, and rejoined his carriages at Milsungengen, where be re viewed the 7th regiment of infantry *of the line, and the depot of the sth. The journey of his Majesty was favoured by fine weather, and he returned to his capital on the 19th, a t tix in the evening. RASTADT, MARCH 25. They write from Frankfort, that on the 21st inst. there was at some distance from that town, without the gate Hoechst (Mayence), a review of a corps, about 12,000 men, of the new Imperial Foot Guards. This review took place under the direction of his Ex cellency Marshal the Duke of Treviso. The fine appearance of these troops, the precision' of their ma nieuvres and evolutions, were generally admired. This review attracted an immense concourse of spec tators. The same accounts announce, that numerous corps of troops (besides the Imperial Guard), are lodged in Frankton, or cantoned in the neighbour hood of that town. There is in the' vicinity much cavalry. All the country on both sides the Mein, towards Aschaffenboarg anti Wertzhourg, and in the direction of Hanau, Fouldi, and Hersteld, are also filled with troops of all descriptions,which constitute part of the Army of Observation f the Rhine. They are waiting for orders to put themselves in motion, and proceed for their ulterior destination. We learn that several divisions of Westphalian troops have marched from Cassel for Magdeburg. The Prince and Princess Royal of Bavaria have loft Munich, to return to Inspruck. SCHAFFHAUSEN, MARCH 24. The new officers attached to our. regiments in the French service, state, that these regiments will soon have their full complement. A great number of officers, sub-officers, and soldiers, who distinguished themselves in the campaign of 1612, and particularly in the battles of Polosk and Beresina, have obtained the decorations of the Legion of Honour. I HOFF, MARCH 17. Their Majesties the King and Queen of Saxony are still at Plauen. For some days past we have frequently heard the firing of cannon, but we believe it to be occasioned by the exercising of the Austrian artillery men at Egra, t hick is in our neighbourhood. LISBON MrIIL. • LISBON, MARCH 9. By an official dispatch from his Excellency Mar. Thal General the Marquis of Wellington to his Ex cellency Senor Don Miguel Pereira Forjar, dated head-quarters, Frenada, the 3d of March, it appears that the enemy has made no movement it that part of the country, since the 24th of last month, the date of his Excellency's last dispatch. MARCH 14.—A part of the French forces have been marched in the direction of Valladolid, and the third brigade of General Hill's division has, iin con• sequence, advanced from Coria to Placentia ; this movement on our part, seems te have for object the occupying of the bridge and city of Flacencia.— In other respects there has been no alteration. The 15th and 18th hussars leave Lisbon this week, and the 10th the following one, for the army. BANKS OF THE PISUERGA, FEB. 21. Besides the ten men, a company of the artillery and other corps who proceed to France from the army 4DF Portugal, 600 grenadiers are taken from the Im perial Guard, and are already on their march. The 22d regiment, with their sick and baggage, arrived yesterday at Valladolid, and to-day set out for Vit toria, where they will wait fcr ulterior orders ; Lut certain it is they are to continue their route for France, and that they will at least be followed by three others, which have received similar orders. With those who march for France, and those who die in the hospitals, where almost all the conscripts who came in the au tumn have perished, the army of Portugal is a ske leton. By the manner i•s which the troops act in the places they occupy, it is evident they follow the Maxim, that it is necessary to desolate the country, which alone can pres'rve them. °RCM() DOS MOTITES, FE8.20. On the 20th entered Madrid, a convoy fiTnn Va lencia, composed of 600 carriages. The army of the Cenue, commanded by Drouct, consists of 13,894. infanta; and cavary (3,24.8 of the latter), and 511 artillery-men, with 10 cannons. The force of the army of Portugal is 31,226 infantry, 3,256 cavalry, and 2775 artillery-men. ASCHAPFENBOURC, MARCH 22.

The Expedition for America remains in Plymouth Sound. The two battalions of marines and a bri gade of artillery are all on board, and the whole wait only the orders of Government. The delay in sailing, coupled with the Mention of the WASP sloop of war, which has had dispatches on board for Ame rica these eight days, without ordrrr to rail, has excited much surprise, as the winds have- been fair for seve ral days. The Woorincn, of 44 guns, (en flute) which left the Sound last v.'eek for Halifax, under convoy of the DRYAD, will be joined at sea by the SYBILLE. A transport, with a brigade of artillery and Congreve's rockets on board, also sailed with the WOOLWICH. AMERICAN PAPERS. By a Swedish vessel, direct from New-York, which arrived at Greenock on Wednesday, we have been supplied with Papers frcm thence as late as the 4th ult. It appears that the BaLVIDIMA British frigate had taken the Lottery, SOUTHOOMB, from Baltimore to France, after some regrstance, in which the Captain of the American was mortally wounded. As the details are given in papers precPCltg, any of those yet in our possession, the only intelligence of it is drawn from the following paragraph : " The gallant Captain SourncciAlas is no more ! We understand that he did not long survive the wounds he received in nobly defending the Lottery against a force nearly ten times his own. The British Captain BYRON, of the BELVIDERA, has, it appears, spoken in the highest terms of his firm and dauntless intrepidity. An Officer must have been a brave man to command the highest admiration from his enemy. The lamented American was interred in Norfolk with the honours of war ;—his corpse was attended by the officers and crew of the American frigate Constellation, Captain STEWART, now lying near Norfolk."—(Baltimore Whig.) , G NEW YORK', MARCH 3. ig The Express which left our Post Office on Sa turday evening at eight o'clock for Washington with the Prince Regent's Declaration, &c. passed through Philadelphia at eight o'clock the next morning, and would reach Washington on Monday-forenoon. " The intelligencer blames the Federalists in the Se nate for voting against the passage of the Bill against the employment of foreign seamen,.and concludes that they are net the real friends of peace ; for, cf ntinues the Editor, the only effect of this Bill must be to produce peace with our enemy. We are glad to find from our official Journalists, that this Bill is intended as a pacific measure. It chews, at least, that the ruling party are tired of the war. Every body else dislikes it." 4, BALTIMORE, FEBRUARY 28. 66 A pilot-boat arrived yesterday morning from Norfolk, which she left on Wednesday, by which we learn, that the only damage known to have been sus tained by the British squadron in the gale of Satur. day WAS the loss of one of her tenders drive on shore with 12 men, who were secured by the people on shore. " PHILADELPHIA, FEBRUARY 24. EXTRACT OF A LETTFR, DATED NORFOLK, FEB. 16. " There are five frigates now in the Bay, and ene stationed at the entrance of the Capes, which prevent the possibility of vessels coming in or going out. This rigorous blockade of the Chesapeake is to doubt in. tended to prevent any information being given to the French fleet, which is expected here. A flag of truce was sent down to-day by General TAYL9R.— Mr. TazEwELL is ►he bearer of dispatches, the pur port of which is not known, but supposed to relate to prisoners. It is whispered today, and men are ac tually enlisting for the gun-boats, that six or eight of them are going down on Wednesday, to make an at tack upon a frigate that lies in Hampton Reads.— Men an c very plenty, and wages low. They are re. cruiting here for the Adams, and on Saturday I am informed they got twenty. The Constellation lies be tween the forts and Norfolk, in complete order. Eigh teen gun-boats are arranged in a line half a mile from Craney E.very thing appears to be military here ; scout ing parties, look-out boats, &c. and every advanta geous arrangement that could possibly be made, ap pears to have been done. A cock-boat cannot come up the river without being overhauled." " HOUSE CF REPRESENTATIVES, FEB. 22. " The remainder of the Bill for the suspension of the Non-Intercourse Law was resumed ; the question on Mr. KEY'S motion to strike out the .sth section, which prohibits the Judges of the District Courts re storing to claimants property seized and libelled for an infraction of the Non-Importation Law, was before the House. The notion was negatived—Ayes 4.4—Noes 73. The additional duty on foreign ton nage is retained in the Bill. " The Bill was amended, and was ordered to a third reading.—Ayes 67, Noes 44. gg The House went into a Committee on the Bill Prohibiting American Vessels from receiving Licences from any Foreign Power.—After some debate the Committee rose, reported progress : and had leave to sit again."—Adjourned. WINDSOR, APRIL 4. The Quitetw's Council upon the state of the Kim, assembled today, consisting of the Archbishops of CANTERBURY and YORK, the Duke of MONTROSE, the LORD CHANCELLOR, Earl WINCHILSEA, Lord ARDEN, and the MASTER of the ROLLS, arrived at the Lower Lodge, where his MAJESTY'S Physicians were in wait ing to receive them, and made their report of the state of the KING during the last month. Afterwards they walked to the Castle, where they were introduced into the presence of the Qum and held a Council with her upon the s u bje c t. At three o'clock they left Windsor. Yesterday the following Bulletin was shewn at St. James's Palace : " 'Windsor Castle, April 3. " His Majesty has been almost uniformly under a slight degree of excitement since the last monthly report."—(Signed as usual.) Lord Ittvaas was the Lord in Waiting ; General C XIMPBELL was the Groom, who attended for Ad toir,tl LEGO, he being indisposed. The Duke of CUMBERLAND is going to Hanover, and is to be accompanied by Colonel HALKET. Paris Papers to the Ist instant have beeen received since our last, They contain some intelligence from the seat of war in the North, but it is evidently so confused, that,not a syllable can he credited. BONA pAnTe's reply to the Legislative Body is the only article capable of exciting interest. He alludes to the dispositions of Denmark, (which we fear are as hostile to the cause of Europe as they are to her own national interests).--threatens to join his army pre. vious to the coronation of the King of Rosin, and vaunts about the repairing of his losses. It is amusiag to find, however, that amid all this, he no longer talks of the Continental System —nor of his invincible le gions. His whole vigilance and circumspection will. be demanded to retain possession of Old France.— That the Dutch are now in arms against their op pressors, can no 10n7, , er be doubted ; for Government have received a confirmation of the report from our crnize:s now on the coast of Holland. The dispos;- tions of the crews of the fleet in the Scheldt are also said to be so mutincus, that orders had been given by BONAPARTE to remove them to a French port with the first opportunity. To prevent thiS, our squa drons off the Scheldt have been reinforced. _ A British res;dent has been already appointed for , 1 Hamburgh. The TIGRESS gun-brig sailed yesterday from Yarmouth for Cuxhaven, with Mr. CocKsuitx on board, who formerly filled the situation. The' nottEs also takes over a Messenger with dispatches ; for Lord CATHCART. DISCOVERY OF THE Pony OF CHARLES TIIR The. day before the interment of her Royai Highness the Duchess of lieuNswieK, in the new vault in St. Georgb's Chapel, Windsor, a discovery was made by the workmen of two ancient coffins, one of lead, the other of stone. His Royal Highness the FRINCi. REGENT being down at Windisoron Thursday evening, ha was, of course, consulted about the mode of ex ploring these royal remains, which he directid to be immediately done in hi; presence. Sir HENRY HALFORD attended his Royal Highness to the vault, when the leaden coffin being- iOldertd, a body ap peared, coveted ove r wi t h - a waxed cloth ;On care fully stripping the head and face, tha colnteilance of the unfortunate Martyr, CHARLES the FIRST, immedi ately appeared, in features apparently perfect as when he lived. Sir HENRY }Jolson' now endeavoured to raise the body from the coffin, in attempting which the head fell from it, and discovered the irregular fis sure made by the axe, which appeared to have been united by a cement. What added considerably to the interest of this spectacle was, that as the head sepa rated from the neck, a fluid drop, of the appearance of Mood, fell upon the band of Sir HENRY HAI FORD, 1 Willa he accounts for, by supposing it to have been the dissolution of some congealed blood, on its being exposed to the warmth of the air. The body of the Royal Martyr was always known to have been interred, at Windsor, but s.) privately, that the spot could never! be ascertained till now. The stone coffin was next opened, which, from its inscription, was found to con- tain the remains of HENRY the Eighth, which con. sisted of nothing more than the skull and principal , limb bones, which appeared in a per fect state. LEATHER TA x.—Mr. MABERLT, the very respectable Con tractor, gave evidence before the Committee cf the House of Commons in support of the Tax upon Leather. Thi4 Gentle man, by means of a table which he presetted to the Committee, chewed the loss occasioned by cutting out, and the small amount of the new duty paid on variou4 articles of the I.eather hlanufac te re, but slid not slew the wane occasioned by currying, in making up the different articled, or the advance that ultimately must be made to the consumers. We shall give an extract of two principal articles. Leather required to make a pair of gentleman's 'walking shoes, 1 lb. 12 ounces, duty at lid. per lb. is 21.1.; leather for a pair of farmer's or labourer's shoes, 3 lb. 7 ounces, duty at lid. per lb. sd. 7-16ths. Mr. HALL, a Contractor With Government for shoes and also r Manufacturer, and other most respectable Shoe Man u facturers, shewed not only the duty paid to Government, but also the amount that must really be paid by the consumer, and the amount of the drawback allowed upon exportation. Leather required to make a pair of gentleman's walking shoes, I.lb. 12 ouncesduty at l3d. per lb . 21d. advance in price; to the consumer, d. to ltd.—drawback on exportation, 12 ounces, at the rate of Yid. per lb. lid. Leather required to make a pair o!• labourer's shoes, 41bs. 4 ounces, duty at lid. per lb. 63d, advance in prise, to the labourer 18d. to 2s. drawback allowed on exportatioa 21b. at 23d. per lb. sd. Tbey a'.so proved that a less advance in price would not fairly remunerate all the Tradesmen, through whose Lands the I.eatber passes, after it has paid the duty, for the additional duty, the extra advance of capital, and the high interest, such persons are obliged to charge on cheer capitals for the long credit and great risks they incur in their respective trades. Mr. Maatill./ and other evidence, brought forward by Government, stated it to be their opinion, that nearly the whole of the duty for the first year would lie borne by the Tanners only, and that the late advance in Shoe Leather had not been occasioned by the new duty, and ehewtd that the Tanners in justice, were intitled to a remuneration; thus it appears the public have not yet felt the evil of this 'lax. We understand Mr. BENSON will present the evidence to the House this evening, and that the subject is not to be discussed until the first week in May, In order that the evidence may be printed, and the Members have time for its contideratkn. The ultimate effect of the 'Fax on this great staple Manufactur!, both a 3 respectelhe Revenu..:, the home and foreign consumption and the injurious tendency of its other various operations, it Is be lieved, will appear so evident, as will cause the CitANCELLOR of the ExcuEouza (should he persevere in his opposition to the repeal, like Mr. Pivr on a similar occasion) to be left in a mino rity, and it is hoped he will be induced to modify the old Fax In such a way as to enable bins to lower the duty still more upon Foreign Hideo (which at this time is equal to 150 per Cent. upon the price paid by our Merchants for south American Hides), and so as to cause the restrictions to be unnecessary, which were proved before the Committee, on many articles, to occasion the Manufacturers more expence than the amount of the duties, and greatly to injure the weal and quality of tin Leallitry NATAL 17 01ELLIMICIL j, It is reported in the City, that a Flag of Truce from France reached Deal last night FALMOUTH, APRIL S.
