It was stated that his MAJESTY had passed a good night, and was recovering as fast as could possibly be expected. The inquirers at Calton Palace continued to be uncommonly nu merous. Prince LtoroLD came from Kensing ton Palace, and visited the KING. Pall-Mall was thronged with the carriages of the Nobility and Gen try, who proccede.l to the Grand flail to set down their names, and to learn the progress of his NIAJE.s- T v's recovery. The Pais Papers of Wednesday arrived this fore noon. T.ei contain a confirmation, from Bourdeaux, of the r.: ors last received from Madrid, respecting tiie state of the Spanish Insurrection, but no farther irfurrnation on the subject. The celebrated LAVA- L ETTE is said to have arrived in Paris ; and, in the airair of General GILLY, who lately surrendered himself for trial, such evidence has been adduced as it is confidently expected, ensure his acquittal. The Duke of lincini.lEu has been appointed Am- Ons , ador Lxtraordivary to the *Court of Great Bri tain. for the purpose of presenting hip MAJESTY'S c ompliments of condolence to GEORGE TH E Fut-irn, on the demise of his late Majesty, GEORGE THE THlRD.—French 5 per cents. Tuesday, 73 fr. 73 c. Our late I.etters frum France bring intelligence of a fire in the :qwn of Boulozne, which had nearly proved fatal to Lady HARRIET llo.tan and her amiable family of ten children, owing to the unpar donable negligence of a Flemish servant boy. Sir J. seen HOARE most providentially returning home, just alter the fire broke out, had sufficient time to spread the alarm, and save the family. We are happy in being able to add, that by the prompt arrival of the town engines, aided by the active exertions of both the French and English inhabitants, the fire was speedily got under ; but not without the total destruction of that part of the building where it originated. The two younger sons of Sir JOSEPH, and Lady HARRIET, who slept in the chamber be yond -where the fire took place, narrowly escaped ; and but for the determined coolness of their father, who rescued them from the flames, they must have inevitably perished. We have seldom heard of a more providential escape altogether; for bad the discovery of the fire been delayed many minutes, the flames would have communicated with the main staircase, in which case the retreat of the entire family would have been cut off. Frankfort Fapers have arrived to the 4th instant. The following is the only article worth extracting: ROME, JANUARY 19. Letters from her Royal Ilighness the Princess of Wales, dated from Marseilles, announce her Royal llighnesc's intention of returning to Pesaro, in the mon:11 of March: It is said, that a Member of the English Commit tee for the promotion of the Emancipation of the Catholics in Great Britain, who is now at Rome, has made objections to the idea of placing the Scotch Seminary (formerly near the Piazza Barbarini, ' and now removed to St. Eusebio to the Convent of Cselestines), which is to be restored again under the direction of the Jesuits, to whom it belonged before the suppression of their Order. This Gentleman ob se, ves, that it may excite in England an impression unfAvourable to t:ie Catholics. It is known that the Ecclesiastics intended for that kingdom, were edu cried upon principles and by men whom public opi nion still considers as dangerous. A considerable damp 'has just been thrown over the commercial hemisphere at Leeds, by the failure of a large Home in the General Commission line, which has excited apv!chensions for the fate of others which we hope will not be realised. There have also be-a some recent disturbances in that neighbour hood, particularly at Daw-Grecn, Body, Heckinond wike, and Dewsbury, occasioned by attacks made by some o f ;Ire Clothiers' Union" men upon the work men called " Blacks"—that is, workers under the s teep/co Frices. In conscquelfce of these disturbances, these townships have applied for, and will no doubt obtain the protection of a military force. In another column we have inserted, from The' l Dublin Erching Post, a Letter from Montreal, of the 27th December, announcing that the Discover/ Ships have made good their passage through one of the Sounds in Baffin's Bay, and reached the mouth of the Copper-mine River (W. long. 112 degrees, lat. 69 degrees), where they were wintering. We shall rejoice to find this intelligence correct; bat we understand that there are other Letters from Montreal, of later - date's,in town, which do not men tion the fact. The names seem to indicate some thing like a hoax : there is, we understand, no Mr. M , Tantsit in the North•West \ Company, but Mr. TAvisit ; nor any Mr. 11oFFNEn in the Expedition, but a Mr. HorrsEn ; and Mr. 51‘TAvisii, of the North-West Company, was at New York when the letter from Mr. M.T.Anisn is said to have been written. Besides, the reaching of Coppermine River is so far from being a discovery of a North-West Passage, that there is still an extent of fifty degrees of longitude to be explored.: • Yesterday, a Cabinet Council was held at the Se cretary of State's Office for the Home Department, which was attended by most of the Cabinet Ministers. Cabinet Councils have been held every day during the past week. An Order in Council was agreed upon at the first Privy Council held by his MAJESTY, on Sunday, the 30th ult. tor making the neA.ssary alterations in the Forms of Prayer in - the Church Service, in conse quence of the demise of the late KING, 'which wis en trusted to the Archbisho . p of CANTERBURY and the Bishop of LONDON. Yesterday, his MAJESTY received visits from the Dukes of YORK and GLOUCESTER, the LORD CHAN cELLon, and the Earl of LIVERPOOL. On the demise of his late most excellent MAJESTY, two of the King's Messengers were sent off with the melancholy tidings to the Queen of WIRTEMSERO, and to the Princess of 11Esse HOMBERO., The premises of Messrs. FRANCE and I3ANTINO have been thronged on the outside, by persons endea vouring to force their way in to view the state coffin for the remains of his late MAJESTY, but they have not been admitted. The crowd became so unma nageable, that some Bow-street Officers were sent for to keep them in order. The state cofEn is to be covered with purple velvet. The remains of his late MAJESTY Will lie in state in the Chapter-Room of the Knights of the Garter, adjoining St. George's Hall, from the morning of Tuesday next, to the timeof their interment on Wed nesday ev.ening. This noble apartment (the Chapter- Room) has been hung with purple, and the rooms leading to it with black. There will be no tickets of admission issued from the LORD CHAMBERLAIN'S Office, as in the case of her late MAJESTY'S Tying in state at Kew, but every person will be freely ad mitted who appears in deep mourning. The admis sion of the Public will be confined to the Porter's entrance door at St., John's Tavern, through the Queen's guard chamber into St. George's Hall; af terwards the company enter the state apartments, and return down the staircase leading to the kitchen-court. The Pages of his late MAJESTY alternately relieve each other, in sitting by the remains df their late Royal Master, in Windsor Castle. Of five of these faithful attendants, four have been in the service of their late Sovereign up wards of half a century each. We believe Mr. CLARKE claims seniority on the list, having been 51 years ; Mr. BOTT, 50 ; Mr. HEALEY, 43 ; and Mr. BAKER, upwards of 40 years. The King's Equerries, Generals GWYNNE, CARTWRIOHT, MANNERS, and GARTH, have grown cid in their offi- 1 cial duties. In short. most of the domestics honour. ably boast of a long service with their departed master. The Churches and Chapels, throughout the Metro polls, will be opened for Divine Service on the day of the late KING'S interment, and appropriate Ser mons delivered at each on the occasion. Preparations are making at Cumberland•house, in the King's Palace, St. James's, fur the reception of the Duke of CUMBERLAND, in case his Royal High ness should determine on coming to England, in con sequence of the decease of his beloved father. Simi lar arrangements are making for the Duke of CAM BRIDGE, the return to England of their Royal High nesses being uncertain. A vacancy is occasioned by the accession of the KING to the Sovereignty, in the Order of the Garter. The Knights Companions being twenty-five, in which number the PRINCE REGENT was included. His late MAJESTY was Founder of the Order of St. Patrick, and wore round his neck the sky blue ribbon with the badge appendant. By the death of the Duke of KENT, a vacancy is also occasioned in that most il lustrious Order. The interval between the demise and the dissolu tion of Parliament was : On the Accession of ()Roast T. 15$ days. On the Accession of Omani 11. 55 days. On the Accession of GROILOS 111. 14S days. The interval between the demise and the meeting of the New Parliaments to transact business was: On the Accession of (;roast I. 223 days. On the Accession of Glosaa 11. 226 days. On the Accession of G 1.014G11 111. 374 days. The following anecdote is from the recent volume of Jacobite Relics, by JAMES Hoc() : - - - His 1111A5ISTY baying been told of a Gentleman of family and fortune in Perthshire, who bad not merely refused to take the oath of allegiance to him, but had never permitted hint to be namel as KING in his presence, " Carry my compliments to him," said the. Kiso--" but—what—stop—no—he may perhaps not receive my compliments as King of Pliciatio—Give him the Elector of liatur.rn's compliments, and tell him that he respects the steadiness of his principles." THE PRINCES OCTAYJUS AND ALFRED—The Cof; fins of these two Princes, sons of his late MAJESTY, who died in their infancy, were on Thursday removed from Westminster Abbey to Windsor, in two hearses and four, grandly decorated, for the purpose of being interred in the Royal family mausoleum, agreeably to the wish expressed by his late MAJESTY, a short time previous to the commencement of his malady The coffins were removed from the hearse by the. Yeomen of the Guard, and privately deposited in the Royal mausoleum. • The QUEEN of ENGLAND becomes sole patroness of the ancient Mastership of St. Catherine's, append ant to the Tower of London. The value of this ap pointment is estimated at 1.;2500 per tumum. Mr. GRATTAN, who is again going to brave the fatigues of a contested Election for Dublin, is in the seventy-eighth year of his age. He was first elected to the Irish Parliament in 1769. His grandfather was a eotemporary of Dean Swift's, and his fatLer Recorder of Dublin. BRITISH NORTH AMERICA. FROM THE QUEBEC PAPERS. Notwithstanding the pacific policy avowed in the President's Message, it is plain that every preparation is making to put the sea coast in a state of defence; and Mr. Munroe says, that after this shall be com pleted, the attention of the Engineers will be turned to the Northern and North-ivestern frontiers. The justice of the remark, that to avoid war you should let your enemies see that you are prepared to meet it, is obvious; and we should be well pleased to see a corresponding activity, in strengthening our fiontier► on our part. Canada is the weaker country, and her safety more imperiously requires provident attention to the state of her defence, otherwise her very weakness may one day encourage some Ame rican adventurer to plan another -Texas Expedition against her, in a time of profound peace. These ob servaticns are not made in a desponding mood ; on the contrary, we firmly confide in the power and dis position of the British Government to protect her loyal Canadians, and cherish her commerce in spite of the efforts of American ambition. It is notified in the Upper Canada Gazette, of the 18th instant, that, in the month of May and Jane next, al?ont 30,000 acres of land will be sold by pub lic auction, at the Court-house, in the town of Yon k, under the atrhority of a Provincial Act of Parlia ment, vesting in Commissioners the estates of certain traitors, and also of persons declared aliens, apply ing the proceeds thereof towards compensating the losses whiph his Majesty's subjects have sustained, in consequence of the late war, and for ascertaining and satisfying the lawful debts and claims thereupon. Copy of a letter from the Count de Sußviumuts (JosErtl BONAPARTE) on the subject of the loss of his house, by fire, addressed to WILLI Am SNOWIAN, Esq. Judge and Justice of the Peace, Bordentown: " Point-Breete, January 8, 1820. " Sia—You have shewn so much interest for me since I have been in this country, and especially since the event of the 4th instant, that I cannot doubt it will afford you pleasure to make known to your fellow-citizens, how much I feel all they have done for me on that occasion. Absent myself lions my house, they collected, by a spontaneous movement, on the first appear ance of the fire, which they combated with united courage and perseverance; and, when they found it was impcskible to ex tinguish it, exerted themselves to save all the flames had not de voured, before their arrival and mine. " All the furniture, statues, pictures, money, plate, gold.. jewels, linen, books, and in short, every thing that was not con sumed, has been most scrupulously delivered into the hands of the people of my house. In the night of the ire, and during the next day, there were brought to me, by labouring mete, drawers, in which I have found the proper quantity of pieces of money and medals, of gold, and valuable jewels, which might have been taken with impurity. This event his proved to me, how much the inhabitants of Bordestown appreciate the interest I have always felt for them ; and chews that men, in general, are good, when they have not been perverted in their youth by a bad edu cation—when they maintain their dignity as men, and feel that true greatness is in the soul, and depends upon ourselves. " I cannot omit, on this occasion, to repeat what I have said so often, that the Americans are, without contradiction, the most happy people I have known—still more happy, if they un derstand well their happiness. " I pray you not to doubt of my sincere rtgard.—Yones, &c " JOSEPH, Count de Survilliers." NitPoi:awes MEMOIRS, by himself, combine the energy of TACITUS with the authority of CSSAR, and are likely to live as long any classic _of antiquity. They will probaby be read with interest when nearly every book of the same century is forgotten. We feel much satisfaction in giving insertion to the following article from the Ipswich Journal, vin dicatory of the character of an individual whom we believe to be all that is here so eloquently represented. In exoneration of ourselves, we beg to state, that the paragraph did not, as seems to be implied, originate with the Star. We copied it from a Morning Paper (Public Ledger, of Saturday last) deceived, as many other Papers appear to have been, by the covert manner in which the paragraph, so justly complained of, was drawn up, and far from imagin ing that it contained anything to injure the feelings of a single human being : " IPSWICH, FEBRUARY 12. It is a lamentable fact, that no situation in life, howeier respectable—no line of conduct, however honourable or praise worthy—can shield individual; from the attacks of malevolence, which, whether aimed by envy or wanton sport, possess too fre spently the power of wounding the feelings, and undermining. the comforts of those at whom the poisoned shafts are levelled. " In waking these reflections, we advert to a paragraph which appeared in the Star of February 5, and has since been copied irto various other Papers, which we notice merely to apprise those who have read the splenetic effusion, without knowing the object of it‘' that the Gentleman, whom it was intended to mor tify by allusion to his respectable parents, is of high rank in the Navy, and stand. equally high in the estimation of the first circles in - town, as well as in this neighbourhood, whose so ciety he enjoys ;—that this 'gallant Officer did not ' claim acquaintance' with the Noble Duke of Wrmattcrow, ' in conse quence of being passenger in the same ship from India,' is cer tain, for the Duke, in honouring him with a call, paid him the compliment (whether solicited or nut) of recollecting the old ' Commander of the frigate, which.conveyed Lis Grace, then fir ARTHUR WELLESLIT, to England. " The slanderer, who has aimed a powerless weapon at the peace of a highly respected' farnily, needs not perhaps be told, that the object of his spleen acquired a fortune from the enemies of his country, by a prefessithal zeal of thirty years service— but he may not yet be aware, that this" well -merited fortune has been nobly shared by the relatives of the possessor, who divided among them, at one time, £lO,OOO, and has since educated, from their infancy, three helpless orphans, giving to each of them £eSCO, towards t h eir further progress in life! This benevolent character is now retired from active. service, to spend the remaining period of his life in the same pari:la in which his ancestors have lived respected for at least a century.

With respect to the name of HOFFER or HOFPNER, mentioned in the extract from Mr. M‘TAittslt's let ter,. it affords as a strong corroboration of the proba bility of the intelligence. In looking over an account of Captain Ross's voyage, for the names of the Of ficers on boaid the exi.edition, we could not, it is true, find the name of HOFFER or HOFFNER ; but. in .Lieutenant (now Captain) PA Ray's ship, the Alexan der, we find the name of Lieutenant IL P.

Though we cannot state, from our own know ledge, that Mr. HOPPNER went-out again with Cap tain PARRY, yet it is most probable he accompanied that Officer in his voyage. Corpermine Rivet was visited by Mr. lIF4RNE about the year 1771, as nearly as we recollect, for we have not his book near us, in the vicinity of which he states he saw the sea.
