His Majesty has resolved to charge a General of the French army with the government and command of the city of Berlin. The General of Division Du rutte has received this appointment, and now pos ses.es the exclusive administration. This arrangeMent, which is perfectly in accord` with France, has only for its end the maintenance of Letter order and tranquillity, at the moment in which Berlin is almost entirely occupied by French troops, a measure that will ensure the more prompt remedy ing of any future complaintF, ORDER OF TilE DAY, FROM THE PALACE OF BERLIN, 6TIt MAY, 1812. " The General of Dittision, Commandant of the city of Ber lin, considering that there are in this places great number of persons attached to the French army, who, not being autLoraed to abide here, have not consequently any right to military loi'g. has in concert with the Prussian authorities, dome to the fallowing decision " Reckosii g 'font the I 2th inst. all the military loclL:igs now existing shall he annulled. Ihe Officers, and those employed in military administra tions, will take care to provide by the 12th a ticket for lodging, from the Commandant of the place. . • " The office ftir lodging will, on this ticket being produced, give a new ticket tpr lodgings to all officers or others emp eyed, who are authorised to remain here _ _ _ " ' ,hose who are not provided with a new ticket for lodgings, datsd the 12th of May or later, are informed that they have no title to ti e lodgings they occupy ; and the inhabitants with whom they are, must make a declaration of this to the office fur lodg ings, who will inform Me Governor of it. " A ropy of this order will be addressed to the office for long ings, fur the purpose of being communicated to the inhabitants." PRESBIJRGIi, APRIL 24. Scarcity has arrived to such a pitch in Servia, that a number of the inhabitants al dently desire to be deli vered from their chiefs. Near 40 Communes have risen, and unanimously declared, that they prefer eubna;tling to the Ottoman Government, rather (hart remain under the yoke of their Chiefs, whom . they reproach for their insatiable avidity. The Servian Senate has suspended the purchase of provisions equally for their own and Lhe Ruseian troops, It has likewise been for some days remarked at Belgrade, tleat the Russians are making prrpqrations for their &Future, and that for this reason all their baggage and ammunition have been put in a proper state. HUNGARY, APRfI, to. Travellers lately arrived from Russia confirm the intelligence of the retreat of the two Russian divi sions which have left Moldavia, and passed the Dnie ster. The f rtress of Pekan and Smolinsk are being provisioned in the greatest haste. The fortifications Qf these p4ces,have not been repaired since the peace Of Tils;t ; 2b,000 peasants are daily occupied in re pairing them. FREATII AND GERMAN PAPERS. PARIS, MAY le.

MAY 11 • This town has again just enjoyed the happiness of possessing within its wails his Majesty the Emperor. He arriN+.:ci on the 9th, at eight in the evening, ac. companied by his august spouse. He alighted at• the hotel of the Prefecture. An immense crowd went to meet them beyond the triumphal arch, and he was received with enthusiasm and reiterated cries of " Long jive the Emperor! Long live the Em press! Long live the King of Rome!" NAPLES, APRIL 28. The Neapolitan troops who are to join the Grand Army are under the command of Lieutenant-Gene ral Detree. VIENNA, MAY 6. The departure of the Emperor for Presburgh is fixed for next Monday, and on Tuesday the Diet will be closed. MAY 7.—Great haste is observed in the prepara tions of their Majesties departure for Dresden. It is said the two Archdukes will accompany them. The Archdukes, who have passed some time at Gratz, are upon their return to Vienna. NUREMBERG, MAY 8. Acco - rding to letters from Prague; the head-quay. ters of the Duke d'Abrantes is now at Glogau, in Silesia ; and the French and allied troops, which constitute part of his corps d'armee, are cantoned on both banks of the Oder. A numerous corps of Prussian troops are assem bling in the neighbourh;, , d of Breslau, under the or ders of Field Marshal Kalkreuth. It is thought at l3reslau that they will soon march for another des tination. Every where the Prussian and French troops live upon the best understanding. AUGSBURG, MAY 13. The last intelligence from Vienna persists in assu- ring us that the Russians and Turks are further dis tant than ever from any kind of accommodation.— The Turks absolutely insist upon the evacuation of Moldavia, Wallachia, and that part of Bessarabia which has been invaded, and the abandoning of Ser. via. These are their preliminaries. Their army in creases ; that of the Russians diminishes. They are inclined to act offensively, whilst they suppose the Russians will confine themselves to acting upon the defensive. The Turks, in a word, are in force, and in a situation not to desire peace. AMSTERDAM, MAY 12. To-day two frigates were launched from the dock yard of this port with complete success, amidst reite rated cries of " Long live the Emperor !" On the 9th instant, a frigate was likewise launched at Rotterdam. VERDUN, MAY 6. On Sunday last, May 3, an• English Officer, pri soner of war in this town, !bade, in the parish church of Notre Dame, his solemn abjuration before the Cu rate Montardier, and embraced the Catholic Re li. gion. Tl:is ceremony drew a considerable concourse of people. WARSAW, MAY 2. A courier has art ived here, with intelligence of a rencontre having taken place in the neighbourhood of Radzilow, between a detachment of the Allied troops and the Cossacks. It appears that the latter crossed the Boor, and attempted to advance along the left bank of the Wysa, for the purpose of plun dering the villages ; when Colonel Wenzlow attack ed them with the Polish and Confederated troops, and put them to the rout. He afterwards pursued them across the Wysa, killing and wounding 96 of them, and making '22 prisoners. It is said that the Russian Commandant of Gojtindz has disavowed this act of aggression, and requested the particulars, in order to transmit them to the Emperor. The march of troops through this place continues daily. Our contingent of 30,000 men are all in the field. LEIPSIG, MAY 7. They write from Elbing, that the troops of his Majesty the Emperor, and those et the Rhenish Confederation, form a segment of a circle extending from the Behrung to the borders of Austrian Gal licia—in same parts, the forces of France and her allies are within four miles of the Russian corps of observation. There are various tumours in circulation ; but hopes are still enter,ained of adjustment. It is cer tain that whatever affairs may have occurred, they are not authorised by the Commanders. • PETERSBURGH, APRIL 24. There have beep some modifications in the late i levies of troops ; it being found impossible to raise the required numbers, many males have been taken under the age of 18, and above that of 40 years. Three corps of reserve have been formed ; one at I'skow, consisting of 10,000 troops ; another between Tharmapol and Shitomie, of 1`2,000; and a third at Biallistok, of 14,000, which will be augmented.— They are well equipped. The Senate meet every day, and their deliberations continue many hours. Official communications have been made to them of the number, state, and dispo sition of the troops on the frontiers. •A cordon of troops have been posied along the Bohr and Nurzuk rivers ; the towns along that fron tier are well fortified and strongly garrisoned. It is said that the Emperor Alexander lately con sulted General Bertigsen on an important state affair, and this veteran Officer gave very honest.advice— he recommended strongly to his Majesty to cultivate peace. FRANiIFORT, MAY ;t The Russian Court Gazette of the 4th ulr, con taited a Ukase, forbidding the departure of the in habitants settled on the Western frontiers to the interior.

The Report of the Irish Prelates Coadjutors' Bill was agreed ro. Earl RADNOR presented a Petition from Mr. Apr against the Regent's Canal Bill, which, after some observations from :he Loan Cestmcastoa, was ordered to lie on the table. Upon the motion of Lord DUNDAS, it was ordered tbas the mooed reading of the Regent's Canal Bill should take place on Wednesday next. • The Berl of STRATIMOIt presented a Petition (tom certain Merchants and Ship.owners of Sunderland, praying that the House would not agree to the repeal of the eiders in Council, until the enemy had effectually rescinded his Decrees.—Ordeied to lie on the table. Their Lordships then resolved into a Committee, for the pur pose of examining witnesses at the Bar, rely ice to the opesktions of She Orders io Comicii, when several Manufacturers from Birmingham, Stockport,Wakefield,&c. were questioned at great kngth by the Earls Fitzwilliam, Lauderdale, Rosalyn, and other Noble Lords. The witnesses were then ordered to withdraw, 1 and Ilse Haase being for some time resumed, Earl Stanhope re newed his objections to the Wales enelsvure Bill, which, atter a long conversation and various arguments, in which Lords Wal• 'lngham, Eldon, Radnor, Lauderdale, an d Holland partook, was ordered to be read a third time this day se'srght. Earl Ell ZWILLIAM presented a Petition tram the Manu facturers of Bolton against the Orders in Ceuncl—Orderei to lie on the table. _ _ • The Committee was dolt resumed, and witnesses further examined, the last of whom was Mr. Watson, of Kiddisminster, clothier, whose evidence t•ndrd to slew the great decay of the trade in fine woollen-cloths, since the date of the Orders in Council. At the close of Mr. Watson's evidence, the Committee ad journed to two o'clock on Wednesday, and the House then adjourned to three o'clock to-morrow (this day). HOUSE OF COMMONS. An the motion of Mr. WILSON, the Clandestine Marriage Bill was re-committed, the Report brought up, and the Bill or demi to he engrossed, and read a third time to-morrow. Mr. W. Du NDAS brought up the Report of the Committee oh the Edinburgh Police Bill, w%tich was agreed to, and the 13411 ordered to he engrossed. The General Enclosure Bill went through a Committee, the. Report was received, and ordered to be town into further cm.. sideration on Tuesday se'nnight. PETITIONS UPON TILE DISTRESSED STATE OP TRAM - Mr. BROUGHAM observed, that his mown fth- calling over the House stood for the 27th inst. He did hope that by that time he should have been abte to bring the investigation, in which the HOuse had been so long occupied, to a conclusion ; from a variety of circumstances, however, he found it would be utterly impossible to accomplish that desirable ob. ject. He therefore found it necessary to postpone that motion to a future stay. Taking every thing into consideration, and having had wine conversae, tion with a Noble Lord in the other House, he was led to believe that the evidence, if any, intended to be adduced to rebut that Which had already been submitted to the House, would not occupy mote than three or four days, from which circumstance, and intending to conclude his part of the exaraina tion.that night, he conceived he might be able to call the attention of the House to the subject of the Orders in Council, on Tuesday fortnight, which day he begged leave to postpone his notice. He al. o begged leave to move, that the Order .- f the Day, the 27th inst. for. calling over the House, might be read, with a view to postponement. The order having been read, the Honourable Gentleman moved that it should stand for Wednes day fortnight. Lord CASTLEREAGH did not see any objec tion to continuing the notice for a Call of the House, the more especially as he understood his Right Hon. Friend .(Mr..Canning) had it also in contemplation to postpone his motion, which stood for the 28th (the Catholic Question). Mr. ROSE said the evidence was exceedingly vo luminous, and considering the little attention which had been paid by the majority of the House during the examination, would require some time to digest; he was therefore desirous that the House should not be precipitated into a discussion of the main question, without having sufficient time to take the matter into their consideration. After some observations from Mr. BROVGIIAM and Dr. DUIGENAN I the order for calling over the House was accordingly postponed to Wednesday fortnight. Mr. M. SUTTON presented a Petition from the Ship `Owners of Scarborough, in favour of the Or ders ir. Council. Mr. B. BATHURST presented a Petition from certain Merchants of Bristol to the like effect.] STATE Of TILE ADMINISTRATION. Lord CASTLEREAGH, after alludirg to the present state of the Administration,.moved, That the Orders of the Day should be read, with a view to being postponed to Thursday. Mr. WHITBREAD postponed his motion re specting-Sir James Craig's Cut - respondence relating to America, which stood Mr to-morrow, without naming a day, reserving to himself the power of re newing his notice when the Administration should be formed. After some few words from Lord CASTLEREAGH, he• observed, that his motion respecting the Tele: ration Act should stand for Wednesday se'nnight, unless some reason occurred in the intervening time to render it necessary to defer it to so:ne suture day. MR. ST. JOIIN MASON. Mr. SHERIDAN, addressing himself to the Treasury Bench observed, that, at the end of last Session, an h.zmble Address had been voted to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, praying; that an investigation might take place into certain com• plaints which were made in a Petition to that House by Mr. St. John Mason, against the Earl (if Hafd wicke, while Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. He un derstood that an investigation had taken place, Ipit that there was some objection to lay the kepi t b:. fore the House. Upon what ground this objection had arisen he could not divine, but as the House had passed an Address, and as an examination had taken place in consequence, he did think tile Report should be laid before Parliament, in order that they might be able to form a judgment upon the result of the inquiry in question. If there was no objection, and .he could see none, her should then move that the Address should be laid before the House. Mr. - RYDER admitted that an Address had been voted last year, for inquiry into the matter alluded to, butjarther the Address did not require. The en q"' had been made under existing circumstances. However, he could not at present judge of the pro priety of producing the Report ; be therefore begged the Right Hon. Gentleman would postpone his ny e .ticn to a future day. Mr. SHERIDAN agreed to allow the Right Ho. nnuiable Gentleman until to-morrow, to coosider the expediency of producing the Report. Mr. IVHITBREAD. presented a Petition fro% Frederick Guise, a re,' lent in the I4e of Jersey, eon. plaining of certain hardships whirl) he had expetieece4 under the Government of that Isrand.—Oldrred to lie on the table. COMMITTEE ON ORDERS IN COUNCIL. On the motion of Mr. BROUGHAM, the Hotta then resolved into the Committee on the Orden i t Council. The witnesses examined were, Mr. Phillips, cotton-manufacturer, trots Mancbesteri Campbell Patrick White, a native of Ireland, but settled a ie. timore, America; Mr. Thomas Kinder, Yorkshire, woo:lanai. nuiacturer, lately returned frorn America; Mr. Platt, a yak• share wool en-nrarufacturer ; Mr. I.

Atter the examination of those eettnessi-e Mr. BROUGHAM said, that he had now cote. pleted the examination of the number of wial euls whom he proposed to examine, though int dealin g deemed necessary by the Right Hin. Gentlemanly. pn'ite (Mr. Rote), or his Hon. and . Learned Friee i t (Mr. Stephen) he had as many more who trottil corroborate the statements already made. Itl4 however, been his object to confine himself in a gnu degree, to those persons who had been examined psi, pectively, on the subject of the Orders la Coed. four years ago, and whose -opinions, at that tiny ' upon their probablo effect, had since been so vously verified. That were some other persons elm had been examined at that time, whom he h+ct not called on now, as it was likely their evidence would have been necessarily protracted toan extreme lenti l s two of thein in particular, Mr. Mullock surd Mr, I Mann. Having now gone through about 100 sit. ne•ses, he true ed the material facts were sufficiently substantiated without troubling the Committee nay further,' for wlicse patient attention, during anima tiation necessar.ly of a very complicated nautil i .", felt extremely sensible, and trusted it would pear, that he had in no instance, occupied-their unnecessarily. He .would now move, " The • C.:airman report progress, and ask leave to sit M. ROSE said, that the number of witness% ipr.iposed call would•not, he hoped, occupy than two or three days, and he should be prepared* go into their evidence on Wednesday, on 4ialt he wished that the Committee might vitagain. The House haring resumed, the minutes 40. dense were brought, up and ordered to be printed, s 4 the Committee, tur • the further examination of it% ties scs, adjourned to Wednesday.

The difficulties and impediments in the lay forming a new Adniinistiat;on, appear to heeled greater than was apprehended. We may infer de from the little progress that has ye: been made-4 rather frit= no ode point hiving been yet settled* specting this iMportant affair. It is known that Marquis WIILUISLEY, at the inter• view he had with the Panice REGENT cn Sauk night, submitted to his Royal Highness the norm that had been received from the Heads of rattiest. the propositions that had been made to them; Wit is k:lown, that, in consequence, the PRINCR Recast arpointesi the Noble Marquis to come to him yester 7 day to receive his pleasure on these answers. Yesterday, after our Paper was at press, Lordt Et.bow and LIVERPOOL had each an audience of bi Royal Highness ; and, what to some appear:d to bt singular, they had their respective audiences belie the hour appointed for the Marquis : then the Mrs quis was admitted to a conference ; after which, CANxixc was sent for, and had an audience. From these circumstances, it has been inferred by some, and with an appearance of probability, Oats: effort will yet be made by the Earl of LIVIRPOOL • strengthen his own pAty, and thus avoid a compile chaiige in the Administration. In the mean time, it is understood that the neje' cation between the Marquises WeLtzster LANSDOWNE, Lords Mott* and HOLLAND. is 00i • be considered as terminated. To speak positively of negotiations, of the of which even the parties concerned can 14 11064 with certainty, would be absurd ; but it is certiiall possible that an effort may yet be made to receacag the present Ministers to ell Marquis Wettestsf. by conceding to his Lordship points on which, it is admitted .by them, differences may be allowed • exist. Indeed, it is more than whispered brew* •tliat even if this cannot be accomplished, the Mil li Ministry may continue by appointing the Sres/. 16 the office of Chancellor of the Exchequer, alkcl / 6. MANNERS SUTTON as Secretary of State& the kW Department, it is understood that Lords Gass and Geenril i have intimated to the negociaton, that thole willing to come into :slaty themselves on *N plans that have been proposed, yet such is the SO opinion they entertain of the integrity and talest il i f Lords lAttisnowsz ani HOLLAND, that then 'offer no embarrassinent to any Adatinistrao o - 01 a• • I which they may form a part. • • • 1
