They are filled with Addresses of Congratulation on the birth of the Duke of BOURDEAUX, and with details of thefeles and rejoicings in all parts of France on that occasion. In honour of this happy event, the City of Paris has announced, for Sunday! banquets and bails to be given to the working classes ; the ex penle to be defrayed from the Municipal Fnnds, and the honours of the tables to be done by the Mayors in their respective divisions. A paragraph in The Journal des Debats says; that no accounts had been received at Naples on the 22d, or at Florence on the 26th, from Sicily, later than to the 7th. Surprise was felt at Genoa on the 25th, that no vessels had arrived for some days from Palermo; and it was there believed that the Neapolitan squa dron had blockaded the harbour of that city. The conspiracy recently detected at Naples, is said to have been connected with foreign relations of great consequence. In Spain, all the Authorities, Civil and Military, in the Peninsula, have sent Congratulatory Addresses to the Cortes, on the subject of the events of the 6th and 7th of the present month. The Public Func tionaries, with one accord, declare their zeal and their unalterable attachment to the KING and the Constitution. Lieut.-General VALDES Dos GAETAN is appointed Minister of War.

Monday, Lord CASTLEREAGH arrived in town from North Cray, and lighted at the Foreign-office, where his Lordship transacted business nearly the whole day.

Yesterday the , Earl of WHITWORTH and the Du chess of DORSET entertained the Earl and Countess of PLYMOUTH, Earl of VERULAM, Earl and Coun tess of-MormaY, and a large party of distinguished personages, with a dinner, at their house in Gros venor-square. Another grand fete took place on Monday night, at the seat of the Duke DECAZES, at Harrow-on-the- Hill, in celebration of the birth of the Duke of Bova neaux. The park, one mile and a half in extent, was brilliantly illuminated by lamps, interwoven among the trees and shrubs in fanciful devices, Ste. About six o'clock, the company, which comprised a long list of the Nobility, Cabinet Ministers, &c. be gan to arrive, and at nine o'clock sat down to a sumptuous dinner ; the band of. the Coldstream Guards performing, at intervals, several martial airs on the lawn. The exterior of the house was illumi nated in a superb style; over the grand entrance were the initials H. C. P. D. B. surmounted by a Crown and olive branches. At the conclusion of the dinner, a grand and extensive display of fire-works was exhibited by Madame HENGLER, in front of the house. The last piece was a temple in fire-works, under the dome of which was inscribed in transpa rent letters, Fata Aspera Vincens. The whole had a beautiful effect. About twelve o'clock the company departed, amid loud cheers from the inhabitants of Harrow and the adjacent villages, who were highly gratified by the spectacle. MuRDER.--A man, named Greentrees, was confined in Maidstone Jail under a charge of horse-stealing, and on Thursday last a small basket (conveyed by a carrier) was received at the jail, addressed to the pri soner, purporting to have been sent from his native place, Rowland Castle, Hants. This fatal package contained bacon, cheese, apples, onions, a pair of worsted stockings, and a small plum-pudding, highly flavoured and full of plums. The unfortunate victim of this infernal scheme, tempted by the appearance of the pudding, immediately partook of the same, and offered a portion to his fellow-prisoners; fortu nately they had but just dined, and one only, a young man named William Hearne, partook of the deadly food. He had scarcely swallowed the deceit ful morsel, when feeling an unusual degree of beat arise in his throat, he immediately exclaimed—" I am sure there is poison in this pudding." Greentrees, who had eaten the first piece, now began to vomit most violently, and Hearne was soon affected in a si milar manner. The surgeon instantly administered antidotes, but so powerful were the effects of the poison, that Greentrees, after experiencing the most excruciating agony, expired on Friday evening, and Hearne breathed his last late on Sunday evening. The former was 43 years of age ; the latter 24. A small portion of the pudding was shortly after given to a hen, which soon began to vomit, and died in about four hours afterwards. The remainder of the pudding was analyzed, and found to contain a large quantity of arsenic.—A Coroner's Inquest was held at the jail, before J. N. DUDLOW, Esq. on the bodies of the two unfortunate men. Verdict—lVitful Mur der against some person or persons unknown. APPREHENSION OF VAGRANTS IN THE REGENT'S PARK.—The inhabitants of those houses contiguous to the Regent's Park, in the Parish of Mary-la-bonne, have of late been greatly annoyed by a nuisance which has for a long time existed, caused by the assemblage of persons at the brick-kilns which are now burning in the Park. The infinite number of depredations which have been committed on the pro duce of the gardens belonging to houses in that neighbourhood, and the poultry having also suffered 'greatly from the nocturnal excursions of such unwel come visitors, induced the inhabitants to make a complaint. In consequence of which, Smith, one of the conductors of patrol belongiirg to Bow -street, accompanied by his party, repaired to the place of rendezvous about half-past ten o'clock on Monday night. On their arrival there they found by the side of , _ _ ANDREA" , tiOLßOits-.Airn BLoomstinit. :" - Yesterday, there was a very numerous Meeting of the Inhabitants of the United Pilisishes of St. An drew, Holborn, and Sr. George the Martyr, for the purpose of addressing her Mitsitsri, at the Work house in Little Gray's Mr. WHire, one of the Overseers, being voted to the Chair, he shortly opened the proceedings by read ing the teirns_of the Requisition, and stating gine• rally that it was numerously and respectably signed. Mr. MURRAY expressed a desire that the names should be read, but this was objected to as unneces sary, and several persons present expressed regret that they had not had the opportunity of signing it. Mr. GALLOWAY rose to propose the Resolutions, which he did by observing, that he sinterely regretted (although a parishioner of nearly twenty years stand ing), that a person better known, and More capable of doing justice to the important subjects which had called this numerous and respectable Meeting to gether, had not been selected to propose the Resolu tions and Address which he should have the honour to submit to the Meeting. He said, as long as the differences between the King and her Majesty were confined to themselves, he was highly gratified that the good sense and delicacy of the people of Eng land had refrained from intermeddling with those differences ; but when his Majesty's Ministers had chosen to make those differences a subject of politi cal consideration, then he was gratified to find, that the people of England were vigilantly alive to the question when it assumed that character. His Ma jesty's Ministers had forced the people, nay, dragooned them into the investigation of this important subject. The Resolutions which he should have the honour to propose to the Meeting, so fully expressed his senti ments, that they rendered it unnecessary for him to make any catalogue of the insults, injuries, and op pressions which bad been so copiously lavished upon her Majesty. Daring attempts had been made to de stroy her Majesty with impunity ; and it should be recollected, that if her Majesty, the highest subject in England, could be oppressed with impunity, all might share the same fate. The people could, there fore, not manifest greater loyalty to themselves and the Throne, than by makingcommon cause with her Majesty; she deserved their support, and in sup porting her cause, they wisely maintained their own liberties. With this persuasion, he would take the liberty of reading the Resolutions and Address, which he had prepared for the consideration of the Meeting, and before he proceeded, he begged to en force the excellent advice of the worthy Chairman, that the Meeting would display that patience and liberality which would afford to every individual a fair and patient hearing; let their sentiments be either for or against the objects of the Meeting. He then read the Resolutions, which were received with en thusiasm and rapturous approbation. The first Resolution was put from the Chair, and carried unanimously, without observation ; but on the second being proposed, Mr. FILDES made a very eloquent speech, which was much applauded, in which he complained of the gross exaggerations contained in the Attorney-Ge neral's opening speech, which he must have known could not be supported, and could only have been resorted to to excite an undue prejudice against her Majesty. "By G—o," said Mr. Fildes, I believe her to be innocent of every charge imputed to her, and I cannot have stronger reasons whereon to ground my opinion, than those expressed in the Resolution, and the memorable expressions of Mr. Canning, who, although acquainted with the whole contents of the green bag, and possessed of local information from his having passed several months on the Lake of Como during her Majesty's residence there, declared his conviction of her innocence, and declined to give his sanction to her prosecution." The next three Resolutions were carried by loud acclamation. On the sixth Resolution being put, Mr. POVAH rose to suggest the necessity of expunging :the ex pressions as to her Majesty's innocence being appa rent without the production of witnesses on her part, and this amendment was seconded by Mr. FILDEIL Mr. GALLOWAY rose and said, that he was sorry that any difference of opinion should occur upon what he considered of vital importance, namely, that the accusations against her Majesty had completely failed in proof, for he did hope that the generous sentiment of every liberal Englishman which admit ted and recognised that benevolent principle of Eng lish law, that every person should be esteemed inno-- cent until proved guilty, would also be extended to her Majesty ; if so, he had no hesitation in stating, that the substantial part of the accusations against ; her Majesty had completely failed. of proof. He was aware that in opposing the amendment of the two eloquent Gentlemen who had supported it, that he grappling - - ith Golialts, - he trusted he -nth (d . . . . lite Masi WA been devoid .of frtiriSisark of Artie . or prOpriiik of feelitig to halve sb acted; Besidis; Be appealed to the seconder of the iilihidnieitt, vibe;. tiler he could ? consistently with his former assistioit • hesitate to adopt the original expression's aid he (Mr. Harmer) reminded.him of the opinion lie had so forcibly expressed of her Majesty s innocence; " besides, we are only saying that which is attributed to Mr. Canning." He, knowing the prosecutor's cal*, had not only pronounced her guiltless, but said. she must grate and ornament every society she might condescend to enter. Fcr theie reasons he hoped the seconder and nitwer of the amendment would, on reconsideration, withdraw their Opposition to the ori ginal Resoliition. Mr. F/I.DES said, be did not ionsider It disgraceful to admit his error as it was only acknowledging him self to be ifiser th an heretofore. He therefore; with- out hesitation; allowed that he was convinced by the arguments of the last two speakers, that the Reso lution ought to be passed in its original form. Mr. Fildes then turning to the proposer of the amend nient, said, 4 , Brother, brother, we are both in the wrong." This observation excited a burst of ap plause, and Mr. Povah instantly got up and with drew his amendment. The several Resolutions introductory to the Ad dress were then passed unanimously, and without any observations, with the exception of a proposed Amendment by Mr. CLARKE, but which, however, was not seconded. The eighth Resolution, animadverting on the con duct of the Dignitaries of the Church, for *ithhold ing her MAJESTY'S name from the Liturgy, was in troduced to the Meeting by a very excellent and appropriate speech from a Gentleman whose name we could not learn; his Address and Resolution were received with great applause, and the latter pasted unanimously. The Address to her MAJESTY was proposed by Mr. CLIFT, in a neat speech,. and was seconded by Mr. Frii.oss, and unanimously carried. Mr. CLARKE rose to propose a motion to impeach his Majesty's Ministers for their conduct towards her Majesty ; and although this Gentleman's observations - contained some very pointed remarks, yet the sense of the Meeting appeared to convey a persuasion that the People of England were largely indebted to his Majesty's Ministers for urging the People to think on their present critical and alarming situation. Upon this Mr. GALLOWAY rose and said, although he owed his Majesty's Ministers no more respect than the last speaker, yet he was persuaded that they had, by their infamous conduct, done so much (uninten tionally, he admitted) to serve the Public cause, by making the whole People of England think on the political condition of their country, and, above all, by enlisting the Females of England into the Public, they (his Majesty's Ministers) hid rendered incalcu lable, though unintentional, benefits to the People, which they should not inconsiderately depreciate or forget. It might appear extraordinary, that he (Mr. Galloway) should appear the advocate for a moment of his Majesty's Ministers, but really they had ren dered such great services to the Public unintention -11 ally ' that he begged leave to thank those Ministers for what they had done, and he was therefore unwilling to. nip such assistance in the bud ; and he entreated the Meeting not to perform any act that should de prive the Nation of the singular advantages they would be sure to derive from those Ministers being allowed to complete the good work they had begun; DO revenge would be so galling and so proper to in flict on those Ministers, as to make them look back on the good they had unintentionally performed in favour of the People, by attempting the cruel and unprincipled destruction of her Majesty ; that was the rock upon which they had foundered, and the Public would derive mighty benefits from the wreck. Mr. HARMER apologised for again addressing the Meeting, but he could not, he said, abstain from sub- Hitting : a Resolution,- which he anticipated would meet with their unanimous approbation. It was a trite . and well-founded maxim, that prosperity gains friends, but adversity tries them." This 'was • never more truly exemplified than in the treatment her Majesty hail experienced; when - she first came to our shores, and possessed power and influence, she was followed by hosts of flattering courtiers, who were eager to obtain her smiles ; when she required not their attentions, thousands were tendering their serviceS; but bow different was now her reception? stigmatised, traduced, and persecuted by men in power, she was forsaken by Court sycophants, and when she most needed solace and support, she was avoided as a pestilence. If, Therefore, in this forlorn situation, one bright ornament of her sex was to be found, who, regardless of the scorns and sarcasms of the great, identified herself with the cause of her Royal Mistress, she was surely deserving the appro bation of the British Nation; and such a female, he was happy, for the honour of the country, was not wanting in the person of Lady Anne Hamilton.
