I' THE 4RMY. . Lord DALHOUSIE, the new Commander of the Forces in Canada, finding the Brigade-Major at Que bec a sinecure situation, having no duty to perform, has done away that appointment for the present.— . There are two other sinecures that have long been ex pected to share the same fate, the Assistant-Quarter- Master-General and the Assistant-Adjutant-General, in Upper Canada, neither of whom have any duties to petit.: , !-tit what can be done by an Adjutant; and the two establi4lirnents of clerks, office-keepers, &c. and their allowances, do not cost Government less than £lBOO per annum.— A reduction has also taken place in the Medical Establishment, of one Physician and one Staff Surgeon, which were also unnecessary. The 12th Regiment of Foot are daily expected to land at Liverpool, from Ireland. The Ist, or Royal Dragoons, disembarked there last week, under the command of Colonel CLurras, and are now doing duty at Manchester. The 12th Foot are to be quay tcred at York, Leeds, and Huddersfield. • Saturday, a division of the 80th Regiment left Edin ht.rgh Castle, on its march to Berwick. The 80th i., to be replaced by the 18th, from Stirling Castle. FRENCH PAPERS. The Paris Papers of Saturday state the Five per Cents. to have been at one time, on Friday, down at 75 f. 15 c. They left off at 75 1. 80 c. A consider able degree, of apprehension respecting the extent of the late conspiracy seems evidently to pervade the public mind. 1 The Commission of the Court of Peers assembles every day at the Luxembourg, for the purpose of in terrogating the individuals charged with being im plicated in the conspiracy, and examining witnesses. The arrests, it appears, still continued. Five per sons, said to be ex-officers, were taken into custody on WeJnesiay evening, at the Cafe Charpentier, on the charge of being accomplices in the conspiracy. The Gazette de France of Saturday presents a letter from Vienna of the 24th of August, stating that the Austrian Cabinet has 4 been informed by Lord STEWART, that the Duke of CAMBRIDGE may soon be expected to arrive at Vienna, and to take an active part for England in the operations necessary I to re-establish the ancient order of things in Italy. A letter from Florence, of the 15th of August,: announces that the Emperor of AUSTRIA. has refused • to acknowledge any of the changes at Naples, and that, in consequence, 40,000 Austrians are to march to Naples ; another 40,000 to assist those Italian 'Princes who may require their aid ; or who, not requiring this aid, may stand in need of it; and 40,000 more to be kept as an army of reserve. Accounts from Madrid, of the 21st ultimo, state, that the Regency of Portugal had consented to the arrest, within the Portuguese territories, of two Chiefs of the attenirted insurrection in Galicia, who were conveyed to Tuy under a s:rong escort.—Letters from Vera Cruz are quoted, stating that the Viceroy of Mexico had refused to allow the Corrtizution to be prochrimed, until he had received official oruers for that purpow. The people, however, proclaimed it at Vera Cruz. and in the provinces of Tabasco and Oaxaca, and the military remained inactive specta ters of the rej icings which took plate ou the occasion. An article from Vienna in the Constitutionnel, dated the 19th ult. has the following paragraph : The Vienna Gazette says, that there is reason to believe that the document which appeared some time since in the London Journals, under the title of a communication from the Russian Cabinet to all :he Rusiian Ministers at Foreign Courts, is a fabrication." - THE' EV101014.4 .

FLANDERS MAIL. ~~~ q~ A Flanders Mail arrived last night. The follow i.-g are extracts from the p a p ers: VIENNA, AUGUST 18. The expected arrival of the Emperor Alexander is now the chief subject of conversation here. Every one pretends to penetrate the reason of it, and founds' thereurai supposiions more rr less arbitrary. Per -1 sons worthy of credit assert, however, that the Em peror of Russia has long been expected at Vienna, l and that he was to have paid us a visit the last time that he was at Warsaw, but. that several circum stances concurred to hinder him ; nevertheless it is believed that the chief object of his journey at this' moment is to consult wit'a his ally on the present ttale of Europe, and that it is for this reason the Eing of Prus•ia has been invited to be present like-1 wise. It is recollected also that the Aliied Sovereigns had agreed to meet every.three years, and that those ho could of come in person should send Ministers', in whom they placed entire confidence. When the Sovereigns were at Aix-la-Chapelle, their next inter view was fixed, it is said, for the autumn of 1821, but the events which have taken place this year, es pecially tlu.*e of Slain and Naples, seem to have induced the Sovereigns to meet sooner than they had intended. _ _ FRANKFORT, AUGUST 26. The last accounts received from Rape, :peat of numerous attests which have taken place in the States of the Pore, .pai Ocularly in the Marches and Legations. These measure: have been judged indis pensable by the Pontifical Government, to prevent tevolutionary intrigues, and the fatal consequences which 'Light attend them.

NOM toP RNA _ 1110CUOntoi • ten o'clock Prams diweiead by the bishop_ r nsutertza, and theipoll, having bees called Conned were tined b. • al —a AL THE QUEEN. It is rumoured that the evidence for the Bill of Pains and Penalties will close this day. Ministers give out that a large party, including some of theit principal witnesses, took fright at Beauvais, and Bed on hearing of the reception given to tbose who landed at Dover, and that they have no hopes of being able to produce any of them. It was understood that if the QUEVed Counsel insisted en cross-examining the wit nesses for the Bill a second time, the Counsel for the Crown should not be okliged to sum up the evi dence till after such cross-examinatior ; but we 'have heard that it is intended (perhaps on an understanding that there shall be no future cross-examination), to sum up the evidence for the Bill at present, and that an adjournment to November next will then imme diately be proposed, in order to allow time to her MansTE.sotuing forward her witnesses. It is ru moured,- Iniviewer, that the QUEEN'S Counsel are sa tisfied that they caR with ease disprove the statements of the witnesses for the prosecution, and discredit their evidence; and that they mean to demand that there should be no interruption in the proceedings. The prevailing belief is, that the Div'wee Clause will, at all events, be given up; and it is rumoured in some of the best informed circle;, that - a majority of the Bench of Bishops have declared, that under all the circumstances of the case, they cannot possi bly reconcile this part of the measure with the prin ciples of the Christian Religion. We understand that it is the QUEEN'S particular wish that her defence should be proceeded with im mediately after Ministers have closed their case, but of course her MaJesres Law Advisers will use their own discretion on this point. There were seven witnesses examined yesterday, none of whom underwent any cross-examination be yond the'ascertaining of certain minute points, arising obviously out of the witnesses' direct testimony. Yet even unprepared and surprised as the Counsel for the QuuN evidently were from not having an opportunity of knowing the names and places of abode of the witnesses, sufficient was extracted from some of them to invalidate their testimony, or at least to weaken the strong impression which their direct examination might have produced. We know nothing as yet of the characters of these per sons, their allegations are but repetitions of the stale stories which have for some time floated wide upon the Public, and until the Counsel for the QUEEN have a fair opportunity of rebutting them, the assertions of these grooms, stable-men, and labourers, ought not to be considered as lending any additional weight to the rumours previously circulated. This feeling we mist the sooner entertain from the knowledge af forded us by the cassia Majocei and De Mont, alias the Countess of Coknabiere, that in the only two cases wherein her MAJESTY'S Counsel were prepared with some knowledge of the witnesses' characters and habits, they effectually overthrew the pretensions of these witnesses to credibility. If this be the case with respect to the two principal witnesses, why nay we not fairly entertain the presumption, that if the same opportunity bad been afforded to the Counsel for the QUEEN to sift the pretensions of some of the others, they would be found no less inadmissible? The only circumstance of the smallest weight in the evidence of yesterday, was that stated by Ilascelli, l the courier, a man who admitted that he was dis charged from the service of the Princess of Wams for some alleged misconduct ; and that he had never mentioned the ciicurnstance to any one for a twelve-; I month, nor until he had heard of the Milan Commis sion. The fact stated by this witness seem s , on the face of it, quite incredible. The parties in the open carriage were covered With the front leather apron to above Me middle: he had not to cone up to them from behind—he was in the advance, and rode back to meet them—and it was broad day, and on a _pub lic road. Had the QUEEN'S Counsel been informed of the names of the witnesses, we may easily infer in what further light this witness would have been placed. But the time is coming in which the, will have a full opportunity to speak tithe witnesses ; aye, and to re-examine them too,..should this be found necessary. Did the Princess knew this? Mr. Dwain objected to this question. The Learned Com ae! ought to ask, from what facts the Princess might have known of this? - The LORD CHANCELLOR said, it was the better way to ask what the Princeu saw. Have you heard the Princess say anything at the balls of the parsons going out and coming in? After mate dispute between Counsel as to the translation of this question, the witness said, " No; I have not !" Did you hear•her say, or did any conversation take place be tween yourself and the Princess respecting those females .4 the ball ? The (Gnawing answer caused a great dtal of laughter in the House : One day, while I was in the Court, and her Royal Highness and Bergami were there, the Princess asked me in these precise words: she said she wished to make a present to some of those girls, those maids (soirginettes), and then she asked me and said, " how can we dress those maids ?" Then she asked me, "do you believe they are such ?" I answered, that as far as I was concerned, I believed them honest girls, and I had nothing to bring forward against them ; and her Royal Highness said to me, " I know, you rogue, th..t you have gone to bed with three df them, and how many times you had intercourse with them:* I, being surprised at this compliment, endeavoured to persuade her Royal Highness that she was deceived ; and Berganii, wins was present, began to laugh, and cry aloud," It is true, It is true, it is true !" I said, as far as lam concerned they are honest girls. Do you know to which of these girls her Royal Hightiets in tended to make a present? Here a conversation ensued respecting a translation in a for mer answer of the witness, of the words sirens and yirgincue. The Interpreter was asked if there were any other Italian words for maid and virgin? and he said there were not. Lord LAUDERDALE moved, that the Italian words should be put in the minutes over the words maid and virgin, which was done accordingly. - . The Arroanty-GILFERAL resumed the exam - ination.—Yon slid that the Princess was going to snake a present to some of these girls, did you learn from her Royal Highness to whom she intended to make such present?-1 did not. • Have you seen the Princess at any of these balls in the same room with the girls Top have alluded to ?-.-Several times. Did the Princess join in dancing?—Some times. Have you ever beard the Princess make any other remark en these women?—When some of them came in the day time, and were seen by her Royal Highness, she pointed them out and laughed, and said, bow much the population of the Barons must be increased. Did you accompany the Princess in her tour through Ger many P—l have. In that journey do you recollect Besgami purchaidne a car riage for two pereons?—l do. After that carriage was purchased, Who travelled in it ? During the day, and during bad weather, it was for my own use. Did the Princess ever travel in it herself'--Yes, during days of fine weather she travelled in It with Berpami. Do you remember at any time when the Princess anti Ber. geed were so travelling, their going on before the rest of the suite? —1 remember one day while we were at a place, the na:).: of which I forget, her Royal Highness and liergani set out sue, denly In the small carriage. I was not Ia time to follow them, as I had to make die other carriages get ready, and to halyard them as soon as I could. blabs all the haste I could, I could not overtakethein until they bad reached the first station. • When you arrived at that platte, did you see the Princess and *mini anywhere asked about them, and was pointed to a room where they were. Did you go into the room went to it, and knocked at the door; Bergami bid me come in, which I did. I saw her Royal Highness and Berpuni upon the bed, but at some durance from each other. How were they situated on the bed?—They were lying as the bed, u far as the middle, and their backs supported against the wall. In the course of that journey, did you stop at any inn where there were any English?---I do not know. Qiil you ever receive any directions from any person on die subject of the English?—bier Royal Highness, when we were travelling on the road to Munich, told me that I was to inquire if any Ru t lish were at the inn? and in case there were, I was to ash their tank, and go somewhere else for lodgings for her Royal Highness. In the course of that journey, what was the general dispel tion of the bed-rooms of the Princess and Bergamil—l anttl nued to distribute the lodgings as far as Catiaruhe, but when wo arrived there, the same thing happened as at Twill, a change of bed-moans. I did not meddle more the rest of the journey, leaving her Royal Highness and Berpmi to choose their own m y t rooms. That is not an answer to my question. What was the gene? ral disposition of the rooms of the Pt incest and Berganu 2 they were generally m our each other as possible. Did you go to Mont Falcoal 7—After we set out from Villa d'Este we went to Mum Fitlaud. What time did you arrive there t—We arrived there• when it was Already night. WILT, did the Princess and Bergami go, ono:Tieing a: Mont Falcuni?-13eing overtaken by a storm, we were oblig ..? „top by the way at Mont FalconL The Princess and Berga id went up stairs into a rou.n. _ Did they remain in that room 'done ?—verisey remained .here alot:e until the remainder of the suite arrived. How bug did they remain then ?- 7 -.ln hour or an boar and a half. After that journey did they return to Milan--to the Bawna They did. Did they go from the Pla:ona to Rome?—They crd.
