" BERLIN, JULY 1. 4 , The report is current here, that on the 3d of August next, being the Anniversary of the King's birth-day, an Ordonnance will be published, fixing the basis of a Constitution for the Prussian Mo. parch y ; but there are persons who doubt whether we shall see fulfilled so soon, even in part, the hopes which the Prussia,ns have entertained for these seven ,ears. ' Frederick 11. whose vast genius caused an important part to he performed in Europe, by a tlnall country, which seemed to be condemned to obscurity, by the weakness of its resources, was an absolute Monarch, and his Government was Military. " Prince Charles of Mecklenburg, General in chief of the Royal Guard ; Prince Hard s enberg ; Count Bernstorff, the Minister for Foreign Affairs ; and the Prince of Saxe Wittgenstein, High - Chem be' lain of the King's Household, are said to think that the establishment of Provinciii States will suf fice to silence the importunate clamours of those who desire a Constitution, and that the establishment of, States General can only weaken the Executive Go- 1 vernment. This system, which they defend, is pre ferable, they say, to any other; it is thionly one snit able to a Monarchy ; and in corroboration cf their as sertion, they allege the example of Austria, which has always wisely judged States General to be destructive of centralization, which is the essence of a Monarchy. States General, they continue, threaten the throne with a thousand dangers—when Joseph 11. attempted to deviate from the track followed by his ancestors, he had nearly opened the abyss of revolution in a cotnitYy where, for centuries preceding, public trap squillit..y had not been a moment _disturbed. The 13th Article of the Federal Act.; they add, by no means prescribes the establishment of States General; this Article merely decrees the establish ment of States in all the countries comprising the t;erman Confederation ; Austria is very far from de,iring to change its system, it finds that the exist- I el:cc of Provincial States perfectly fulfils the 13th Aiticle, and Austria ought in this to serve as a model to Prussia." The Paris Papers of Tuesday and Wednesday ar• Tired this forenoon.. It is remarkable that they do m>t contain a single word respecting the Revolution at Naples. The intelligence could not but be known at l'aiis 03. Wednesday, the day on which it was re ceived here, and what ultimate object the Censorship can have by suppressing it we are at a loss to guess. Those Papers are chiefly occupied with details re specting the meeting of the Cortes at Madrid ; of *hid we have given the particulars from another scarce. A Letter from Bombay, dated January 20, says— '. We learn from 011amundel, of the date of Decem her 20, that some pirates, whether Joassmees or ethers is not positively known, have been commiting some horrible outrages on that coast. About three days prior to the date of the account, a vessel going fiom Cutch Mandavie to Bate, in which were about eighty Byragees, men and women, had arrived in sight of Bate when, she was fallen in with and hoarded by the pirates. The vessel had no merchan dise on board, being taken up to carry the pilgrims. The pirates cut off the heads of forty persons, and threw their carcases into the sea ; the remainder, v ith the exception of four women whom the pirates carried off, they wounded with their spears. The , Latharians then took away the sail, bored a hole in the bottom of the vessel, and quitted her : the poor v ounded on board contrived to prevent the vessel from tilling, and by tying together the few cloaths left them, of which they formed a sail, in that way reached Bate : every assistance was afforded them by the 'Company's Officers, who supplied them with food ; sut 11. d, notwithstanding, died—it is not expected that more than ten will recover. At the date of our advices there were six pirate vessels within two miles 'f the shore; one of the Hon. Company's cruizers vas also in sight, but the shallows and shoals on the coast would preyent her from coming up to them, rot was there any force on shore to prevent these }:l..triderers from landing at different places, and pil laging the neighbouring country. Their intention was to attack the temple of Dwarka, where they . excected to find great plunder." It was reported last night, and with much confi dence, in some of the 'Government Offices, that a F., ivate adjustment of theQUKEN'S business was nearly ttrected ; that the QUEEN shall continue in the full possession of all her legal rights, titles, and privileges; end that in consequence of the progress already made in this adjustment, orders were immediately to be issued to go on with the preparations for the Coronation. In one particular, the report was stated differently. According to one edition of it, the QUEEN is to be crowned along with the KING; according to another, her MAJEsTv is to renounce all pretensions to any :Late in the ceremony. We can give no part of this report as rening on unquestionable authority ; and our Readers will ; c 'line to give it credit. Yesterday morning Viscount CASTLEREAGH had an audience of his MAJESTY. THE -ARMY. • We regret extremely to say, that his hidJKStlr was prevented from being present at the Review of the troops on Hounslow Heath yekterday, by an attack of the gout in his left hand.. We understand that hii Mangsrir felt some symptoms of its ap proach on Thursday Evening, but hoping to find relief from his customary medicine, the bfders for the chargers for the KIgG and suite were not coun termanded, and they proceeded to the field . itcord ingly ; but the painful malady increasing, his MA JESTY was unavoidably obliged to abandon the I design, although every preparation was made for his MAJESTY reviewing, the troops in person. The attack of the gout, though severe, is confined to his MAJESTY'S hand. The KING'S general health_is extremely good. The troops were reviewed by the Dukes of YORK and CAMBRIDGE. Monday, the Militia of the county of Derby as sembled at Derby, under the command of Colonel H ALTON, to be trained and exercised 2S days. A troop .of Volunteer Cavalry is to be raised at Wadebridge, to be, commanded by Join( WERRY, Esq. of Nanicongh. • Yesterday afternoon, a numerous assemblage of the members of the Royal Family and others, took 'place at the King's Palace, (the late Queen's).

The object of the assemblage of the Illustrious Personages was to meet Sir THOMAS LAWRENCE, the President of the Royal Academy, to inspect his paintings of the Sovereigns and'other dis tinguished personages, which he had, while abroad, painted for his MAJESTY. The paintings were exhi bited to the Royal Party in the Library. Yesterday, an elegarn dinner was given to a num ber-of persons of distinction, by the Managing Owner of the East India Company's ship the Waterloo, now lying in the Outward-bound Dock. The company dined on board. Lord CASTLZEZACHI was prevented by indisposition from attending. The treatment of the Italians, ftt Dover, has ex cited a kind of horror in the minds of foreigners ;. so much so, that on the landing of some of the suite of the French Ambassador on Friday se'nnight, flar took such possession of them, that it was with diffi culty they could be persuaded there was no danger. The arrivals from the Continent at Dover are less than before, while those at H.irwich have consider. ably increased within the last fortnight. THE Quaint.—We are requested to state that the Third Edition of the celebrated account of the QUEEg's Tour, supposed to be written by herself, is published this day, under the tide of " Journal of an English Trafelkr."

Lord COMBERMERE brought over a most beautiful tiger, which his Lordship has sent as a present to the Duke of WELLINGTON. The Favourite steam yacht, on her passage from London to Margate, on Sunday last, was the scene of a singular incident: A Lady, the wife of Mr. NORMA N, of London, far advanced in-her pregnancy, WAS unexpectedly taken in labour, and with the as sistance of a Medical Gentleman, by great good luck on board, was safely delivered of a fine boy, who, with the mother, is likely to do well. The affair took place in the ladies' cabin, a td so much caution was observed, that out of 130 passengers, not more than * dozen persOns were aware of it until it was all over. The husband was on board, and very handsomely invited the passengers to drink to the welfare of the :Waller and child—the latter Was immediately, in full bumpers, christened Tye FAVOURITE.--It may become A question, as to what parish the birth is to be registered in, as it took place shoitly after the vessel had left the River, and was between the Isle of Sheppy and Reculver. In the parish - of Chudleigh, in Devon, an enormous snake was killed last week in a hay-field, which mea sured upwards of four feet in length, and was about the thickness of a man's arm round its body. The Contractor for the ensuing Lottery of 20,000 Tickets, has got it for £3BOO less than the last.

It was thought Red greaves was a Yokel, but upon further scrutiny, it turned out that he was a Cierketoceller, and like some others of the milling tribe, fancied he could fight, and was determined to chance it. Did-, always ready to improve hbrcircornstances, did not value giving a few pounds hi weight to his opponent, and accordingly this haul took place in an elegant room, by candlelight, where only a choice C.v. , were admitted, and who likeivise tipped to make up.theperse. At eleven o'clock on Tuesday night, Dick stripped, and Randall and Shelton took him under their especial care ; and Uedgreaves was Well attended by Purcell And O'Don nell. rounds were well .contested in sixteen Minutes, and Redgreaves proved himself a troublesome customer, and a very hard hitter. Dick went down several tithes, but in the lith round he gave Redgreaves a blow n-la-aregson, in the wind. mnik2i, which so altered the scene, that Randall offered 100 guineas to a crown • the three remaining rounds were won off hand by Dick. The well-breech'd Y his pronounced it a most manly fight, but Dick received so severe a blow on the ribs, that a swelling as big a roll arose instantly. JOSHUA HUDSON AND DELASCO. Some little misunderstanding having occurred between the above old opponents at Gurney's Dowling-green, over a glass of Sherry, the charms of a purse soon pu't all quarrelling acid. I and which was the best man was speedily decided upon an ele gant Torf:ey carpet ! Spring supported the claims of Josh. lludson ; and the Master of the 114.414 gave his assistance to the scientific Israelite. Thirty-five rounds were jontested in the most spirited manner, occupying upwards of forty minutes.— Hudson was terribly punished about the head ; but such was his determined courage, that although his shoulder went two or three times,. and was replaced by Spring, yet he insisted on re newing the battle, and continued to fight, till Banco observed that they were both weak, and the purse was of too trifling a nature to contend for any longer, but that he would fight Hud son for £l9O in London, at any time the latter should appoint. Belasco, in point of time, won the fight, as he waited upwards of one minute while the shoulder of Hudson was reduced. The Birtninglinin Yaut:i gave his bets, tWo guineas, as did Spring, one guinea, to Hudson. Delasco received di dreadful hit upon his right eye. Noantrar.—The present week has been a rare scene of fun, frolic, and betting among the fancy; and it has also come of right to the coniary cokes, as the great main of cocks, fought be• tween London and Norwich, has been won by t h e atter. The Lotodotaces are all in it, and puckers to let, has been the distill• guishing feature with the Cyclades. o:wer takes his benefit next Saturday. Both Painter and Oliver were up the next morning, as early as six o'clock, after their battle, so light were the effect' of their inaniskinesit.

The trial of Nesbett, the supposed murderer of Mr. PARKER and his housekeeper atWoolwich, is expected to come on at Maidstone on the 28th instant. There are 26 witnesses for the prosecution, and the trial is expected to cause even more interest than that of the murderer Hussey..Nesbett. appears remarkably cheer.- , ful, and eats, drinks, and sleeps well : every possible precaution is taken to prevent his committing the re volting act of self-destruction.

He is so remarkably shy that he will permit no one to see him but the Jailor and his attendants. His wife and mother• visited him on Thursday t at this interview he appealed exceedingly. affected. A question came before the Ecclesiastical Court at York, last week, which is of considerable importance to the members of the Established Church. The case was, " Daniel Holy and others v. the Rev. T. Cots terili, Minister of St. Paul's Church, Sheffield." The allegation was for acting contrary to the Rules of Winship of the Church of England, in introducing book of metrical Psalms and hymns not authorised by the Book of Common Prayer. After Mr. !sitcom: had been heard against the practice of introducing metrical Psalms and Hymns, except such as appear in the Prayer Book, and Mr. SINCLAIR had replied, Mr. VERNON (IF.O Commissar y ) said, it was a very Im portant question, and he should take time before he pronounced upon it. Thete was, perhaps, not a Clergyman in the kingdom who had not - violated the law, if Mr. Cotterill had dote so; and nothing had been said to satisfy his mind, that, if thisselection was i:legal, those of Tate and Brady, and Sternhold and Hopkins, were not equally so. He conceived the selection entitled to much praise ; but if there were any particular passages objectionable, he was sure the Clergyman would not wish to press them. " The Archbishop," said Mr. Vernon, " would be happy to act as a mediator between the parties; and I think it Would be much for the cause of religion that a com promise should take place." BREACII OF PROMISE OF Martatams.--Saturday, the Special Jury cause, " Stevens v. Staveley," came on before Mr. Jul tice Itiettaanson, at Oxford.. Mr. Taus Ton stated, that the action was brought by the plaintiff, a most respeetable.young Lady, for the breAch of a promise of marriage, made to her by the defendant, and rather for the purpose. of vindicating heccharacter, than of obtaining a pecuniary com pensation; that an arrangement had been made, equally-honourable to both parties; and he was there fore happy to say, that it would' be unnecessary for him to occupy the time of the Court by entering into a further statement of the circumstances of the case. Mr. Jenets said, that•he thought it right to trouble the Jury with a few obseivations on the part of the defendant. He stated that the defendant was a stu dent at University College, and that the pl*ntiff was a young lady of great personal beauty and consider able accomplishments. That an attachment had been formed between them, and an engagement entered into by the defendant, which, on account of his youth, it would have been imprudent in him to fulfil ; and that it had been broken off in conse quence of his father objecting to his marrying at all until he had completed his education and become settled in life. That it was equally due to the honour of the defendant as to that of the plaintiff, to state, thilftio imputation whatever rested upon b er c h arac• terdr conduct, and that no such sentiment had ever been entertained liy the defendant or his friends...— The verdict (asentezed by the consent of the parties) Was for the plaintiff—Damages L'2lo,teitiroid costs. 071 r 1~ 1
