They were shewn into an. anti. room till the 'whole had alighted from their carriages, when they were received by the LORD CHAMBIR.. Lang in the Entre-room, who conducted them into the Levee-room. 'His Royal Highness appeared on his Throne in most excellent health, dressed in regimentals. wearing the Orders of the Garter and the Bath. The Citi zens, on being introduced by the CHAMBERLAIN into the Royal presence, approached the PRINCE REGENT bowing ; after which the RECORDER read the Address in a very audible voice ; delivered it to the LORD MAYOR, and his Lordship presented it to his Royal 1 Highness, who returned the following most gracious answer : " I return you my warmest thanks for your loyal and dutiful Address. " The Victory with which it has pleased Almighty Gob to bless the operations of the Allied Army under its illustrious Commander, Field-Marshal the Marquis of WELLINGTON, cannot fail to have excited, in every part of the United Kingdom, the strongest emotions of exultation and gratitude, and it is with the utmost satisfaction that I receive such a testimony of feelings which animate the Metropolis of the Empire, on this most interesting and important occasion. " Success so• splendid and decisive—so glorious in all respects to the Arms of his MAJESTY and of his Allies, is calculated to contribute most essentially to the establishment of the independence of the Penin sula ou zt firm and lasting foundation, and.to the im provement of our prospects in all other parts bf the world."

The Windsor Forest Bill, and the Irish Post Roads Bill, went through Committees, Lord MORTON in the Chair. Lord Boaatsionox brought in his Bill to extend Vaccination, with Amendments, which was read the first time. On the motion of Lord Itanastmea, the order of the day for the second reading of the Auctioneers Bill was postponed till to-morrow. Lord MORTON rose, on the second reading s of Mr. Palme r's Claim Bill, and expressed some opposition, on the ground that the Claim had been rejected in three succeeding Sessions of Par liament. The Bill was, however, read a second time, and com mitted for to-morrow. INDIA SILL. The Earl of LAUDERDALE expressed his regret, that the absence of some Noble Lords prevented him from putting those questions, which he considered necessary for explanation on the subject of this Bill. It was impossible foe him, from the Bill it self to understand or comprehend it. He d already waded through 79 pages in folio, without being able to accomplish this object; and he trusted that other Noble Lords would perform the same task before they came to-morrow, foe the purpose of 'deciding upon so Important a measure. But, for himself, he was sure, that, without explanation, it was impossible for him to anti cipate its effects; and therefore he trusted the Noble I.ords at least to-morrow explain particularly that part which related to the appropriation of the surplus value of the revenue in India. The Thames Navigation Bill was read a second time ; and the other orders of the day being disposed of, the House Adjourned. Tin DUKE of NORFOLK's IRISH CATHOLIC OFFICERS' RELIEF BILL.

The annual Statement laid before Parliament, of the Finances and Commerce of the country, has been printed; and from it we have made the following extracts relative to the Revenue and Expendituse, the Imports and Exports, of the year ending the sth of January, 1813 : The Revenue of that year, including the Loan, amounted to £95,712,695. The gross receipt of the Income Tax, within the same period, was W 13,131,548. The total Expenditure, during the year ending the sth of January, 1819, was 4104,398N48. The Public Debt, during the same period, cost the country 436,607,128: of which, the sum of 413,462,510 passed into the hands of the Commis- sioners for the reduction of the National Debt.

LONDON. FRIDAY, JULY 16,-11113. An Expedition against the South Coast of Prance, adjoining the Pyrenees, and comprehending as ob jects of attack the Ports of Bayonne and Bourdeanx, is in contemplation. It is to be composed of a mixed Naval and Military Force ; and the whole, it is said, will be commanded byAdmiral Bir GaoaucCorzurs, who has been long stationed on the above coast. Four thousand infantry, and twelve hundred ca- valry, are ordered to join Lord Wsuniarox's Army in tbe Peninsula, to replace the killed and wounded in the battle of Vittoria. They will be landed at Santander.—Among the regiments destined for this service is the 7th HUssars, and detachments of the 19th and 14th Dragoons : the latter are now on board of transports at Portsmouth. We rejoice to find that the flame of unpopularity which was rapidly spreading against an absent Ge neral, has been arrested in its progress. All that we solicited for Sir JOHN MURRAY, was the good old English boon of 4 , a clear stage and no favour."— And again we ask a suspension of hostilities until he is put upon his defence. An eloquent contemporary writer has truly ob served, that 4 , unmerited dishonour is never perma nent. The influence of truth over the public mind is such, that sooner or later we shall surely be reinstat ed in its esteem. Time possesses something of a sanctity which appears to act independently even of the events it unfolds. It is a support to the weal• and unfortunate : it is, in fact, one of the mysterious I :~
