They are accused of " permitting ex pressions to appear disrespectful to the Government, ' and to excite animosities and party violence:" they Crave been accordingly dismissed from their office.— The Resolutions of the PRINCESS REGENT are to the following tenor : " J.

We have also received H3mburgh Papers to a late date: they contain the particulars of a calamitous fire tkat broke out in the town of Abo, whereby the town and public buildings have bees nearly destroyed ; the loss of lives on this melancholy occasion, is stated in al private letter received at Stockholm, to have been up.l wards of 100 persons. The following are extracts ; ABO, Bes. 1. " At nine o'clock in the evening of the 4th inst. this own was visited by a dreadful conilAgration, which, After raging for 24 hours, ended with the almost total 'destruction of the place. The Ere broke out-in-the house of M. Hellman, a merchant, abase people'siere engaged in malting tallow, and to escape the penalty attached to the carrying on of such business in the town, endeavoured to conceal the file as long as they could, and closed the doors a in five ;minutes the whole was reduced to ahes. The fire spread in three ditesul ti•,ns, and was soon univetsal. The Cathedral is ,totally destroyed, with every thing it contained, the atchives of the Consistory, Ate. Of our celebrated Unversiity, nothing remains but the Observatory : all the buildings of the Academy, with the valuable col lections, the hinny of forty thousand volumes, the cabinet of medals, the collections of instruments, the Custom House, the Court of Justice, with the archives, the Town Hall, and above 900 houses are destroyed ; the bridge has fallen'in.

" The officidl Gazette contains the following Royal' Resolution, dated 7ch August, which was communi cated to the Norwegian Scotching before the close of the Session : " His Majesty finds, that the sums with wbieh the I Storthing has granted for objects of general utility pro. posed by his Majesty are on the whole insufficient, h is Majesty views with disapprobation the considerable re ductions which the Storthing has made in the sums pro posed for the fleet and the army, as those important branches of the public ad:ninistration are connected with the freedom and independence of Noway, as well as of the whole peninsula. The sum which the Storthing allots for diplomatic purposes, corresponds neither with the wishes which the Scut-thing expressed in its humble' address of 27th July, nor with the proportionable share which Norway should contribute to those expenses which concern both Kingdoms: Ilis Majesty will cause detailed tables to be drawn up, which will prove the disproportion alluded to. His Majesty will consider and determine, according to cir cumstances, the measures which he may consider as compatible with the alit:mine and welfare of Norway, PETERSBURGH, Stn.. 8. " Four Senators set out last week far Warsaw, to be present at the meeting of the Tribunal of the Kingdom, ,to decide in the affair of the persons concerned in the conspiracy. The French Papers received last night cintsin no later intelligence from Constantinople than what ap• peareil in the STAR of yesterday, they continue, how ever, to reiterate, from different quarters, the determi nation of the Porte to resist the interference of the Allies. If it be true that the SULTAN has resolved to proceed to the last extremity, rather than comply with the wishes of the Allied-Powers, there must also be some truth in the report that he is in expectation of support from one or more of the Christian State;. It would be denying, him - that sense which we believe he possesses in a high degree, if we were to suppose that he would proceed single-handed to oppose the three most powerful na tions in the world, if he did not calculate upon aid from some effectual quitter. Upon the authority of the Augsburg Gazelle, we learn, that Mr. STRATFORD CANNING has received from the British Envoy at the Court of Persia the news of a brilliant victory obtained by the Russians over the Persians, in which the latter lost 40,000 men, and the conquerors 11,000. Honduras Papers to the 22.1 July have been received at the North and South American Coffee House. The following are extracts: • " CENTRAL AMERICA.—It is currently reported by the Spaniards who have lately visited this town, that the Guatemalean army is again in the field, and actually in-' vesting the city of San Salvador. Font Mingo is situated , a league from the city, but it is indifferently fortified. " Several contracts for our staple of next season's cut- Ong have been proposed, but we have not heard as yet of any being concluded ; the price demanded by the cutters is Sol. per M. feet. Purchasers, however, ap pear to held off, but we are in expectation of many en gagements being made by Ist August. 44 It is gratifying to perceive that all the causes which have hitherto been alleged for the low prices of maho gany are removed at all events for the present season, it being a general remark,even amongst the oldest standers in the Colony, that this year's wood far exceeds that of many of its predecessors both in size and quality ; and we have ourselves noticed an extra degree of attention given to the squaring, which, if it does not enhance , the value, will diminish the charges of freight.

The Gazette of last night announces the elevation rf Viscount Delmar and WARD to the dignities of an Earl and 1 114- count of the United Kingdom, by the titles of Viscount Ednam, of Ednam, in Koakurghshire, and Earl of Dudley, of Dudley Cattle, In Staffordshire; also of Lord Calvinist to the same dig. aides, by the titles of Viscount Emlyn, of Emlyn, in Carmarthen. shire, and Earl Cawdor, of Castlemartin, in Pembrokeshire.

It having - been publicly announced that his Grace the Doe Of WELLINOTOWAvOIIici this day honour our ancient City with his presence, the inhabitants. with a spirit highly creditable to themselves, and gratifying to his Grace's mind, determined to pry that honour to the 6 - Great Captain of the age" which his glorious achieve ments bad entitled him to, and which had endeared his person and charaiter to every Briton. His ex pected arrival had excited a great interest in this neighbourhood, and many persons in the surround. ing districts, for a considerable distance, came here to obtain a sight of the Hero of Waterloo. At the din ner on Grimstone-hill, on Saturday. the Archbishop of Yuma sat on the right' hand of Lady HOWDEN, and the Duke of Wer.r.tmerom on her left. Ai the table also were Lord CLANWILLIAW, the Earl of ROSELYN, Sir J. BENG, Generals BERMORD and PHIPPS. the Loan MAYOR, Colonel WALLACE, 4th Royal Dragoon's T. 0. GASCOIGNE, Esq. Captain Paws, J. SIMPSOW , and J.-Banatca, Esqrs. the City Sheriffs, &c. &c. Sunday a distinguished party dined with the Doke at Lord HOWDEN . s. On Monday, at nine o'clock, his Grace arrived at the Palace of Bishopthorp, where, tatter breakfasting with the ARCEIBISHOP, be set out to make his public entry into York. The morn ing was Brie and serene, and at an early hour the bustle in our streets showed' that it was a day of more than ordinary interest. At half past eight the Band and Staff of the 2d West York Militia took their station near the Bridge ; and soon afterwards the Standard-beaters and the Members of three lodges of Odd Fellows joined them, with their Band. In a short time they formed, and, preceded by a troop of the Yorkshire Yeomanry Cavalry, they pro ceeded about a mile on the south road. About half past ten the Doke of Wellington drove up, in an open carriage, accompanied by Lord Bowden, of Grimston Park, the Hussars having formed a guard of honour ; and when the procession had reached nearly to the en trance of the city, the populace took the horses from his Grace's carriage, and he was drawn into the city with ropes. An immense number of banners, bearing the names and dates of the victories of his Grace, pre ceded his carriage. As the procession entered the c"ty his Grace was cheered by the populace, 'and the win dows were crowded with an assemblage of female beauty. Tne Corporate Body having previously determined to present his Grace with the freedom of the city In an elegant gold box, value 50 guineas, they proceeded to the Concert Room, which was filled with• Ladies niche city and vicinity, and there waited his Grace% arrival. On the D ik!'. en-rinc.t, the military band in attend ance struck up " See the conquering hero comes;" and the pLiuiits of the au lierice was deafening in the extreme. The worthy II •corder (R. StscLarn, Esq.) as soon as silence could be obtained, addressed his Grace, and said that he was directed by the Lord Mayor an I C .m -monalty to offer their sincere and grateful thanks for the honour of this visit. They had traced his Grace's progress through his military life and achievements ;and marked, with admiration and astonishment, his sound judgment by which he was enabled to make all inci- 1 dents terminate in success,and redound to his honour and glory. It was truly a most providential circumstance, that his Grace was destined, by an over-ruling Power to have to compete with one whose ambition had prompted him to subvert the very order of things in every go vernment and state of the world; and that his Grace was enablid to lay, by victories, a foundation for the re-establishment of peace and tranquillity to Europe. The Recorder concluded by saying, that he 'and his fellow-citizens joined their gracious Sovereign in the universal sentiment that " the Duke of Wellington had deserved well of his country The Lose LORD MAYOR then-presented the Duke with the Freedom of the City, in a gold box, on which was inscribed, " Presented by the Mayor and Commonalty of the cky of York, to the Mon Noble AILTHOR Duke of Wellington, with the Freedom of the City, September 24, 1527. Wmttass Homuntsou Mamma, Lord Mayor." The Duke of WELLINGTON, amidst great applause, said, that he begged most sincerely to thaak the Lord Mayor and Corporation for the great honour conferred upon him, by his admission to the freedom of the city of York. This mark of distinction should certainly stimulate him to greater exertions to deserve. the ap ' probation oflis fellow subjects. He had expected to have merely passed through the city as it strap. ger, after visiting his old and valued friend, Lord Howden. He should therefoie receive the freedom of the city-as if it had been bestowed upon him after a long interval of departure from a people, with wham Ire had enjoyed a social intercourse. He regretted that a previous engagement prevented him from prolonging his stay in a city, where he had received so hearty a welcome. Mr. Alderman WILSON, father of the Corporation, having spoken a well-deserved eulogium on the Duke The LORD MAiroa said he had a pleasing dUty to perform—namely, to present an Address of Congratu lation to his Grace from the City at large, expressive of their esteem for him as a man, and regard as a Com mander. His Lordship then read the Address, which was as follows : The Inhabitants of the City of York and its vicinity, eagerly avail themselves of the opportunity allowed them by your Grace's passing throtigh this ancient City, t i present their tribute of admi ration and gratitude, for the numerous, splendid, and important services your Grace has rendered to your country, as well as to manifeet their unfeigned respect and esteem for your person and le:hammer. Lamenting, as they deeply do, those circumstances • Lich rawest a OWN method with of their iegard; that let titer tore to hope, that this expression of their feelings will be acceptable to your Grace; and that it will afford a proof, however aitat, of the high Tillie they place upon those brilliant victories and aching, meats which have sea splendidly Intreased the fame of Great 2,1; taiga, and procured for your Grate a name which will ever bo il pride+acrd foe the country, an example that will be Its shield and strength in future geseratissis.'l 1 The Down again acknowledged his senseof the ho, nour conferred upon him, and skid that it was not 19 him alone his country was indebted for a terminatiql of a long and procrastinated war—there were many of his old and brave comrades around him; to whom mu c h of the honour was due—many of whom he would ne n . speak without applause, or think of without feelings n 1 i gratitude. The British troops had Man to cont en d with, but they had also many advantages. They fought under an excellent Prince, whose loss had ban " mot bemoaned, and which was irreparable —a n Ad,ia, tration, whose counsels were most judicious —a sore. reign most gracious, and a people most patriotic and noble. His Grace again regretted that he could not cultivate a better acquaintance with the Citizens of York, and retired from the Concert Room amidst the acclamations and cheers of the people. The Dona then visited out noble Cathedral, and Pas there rtended by the Archbishop, the Dan, and the Rev. W. Valtuost ; after which, he was escorted out of the city, in the order in which he entered. Several dinners were held at various inns in the city, in honour of his Grace's visit, and the evening Ku %pent with the utmost conviviality. ?ROM THE TYNE MiRCURY, SEPTIMBIR 25.
