The Senate of the Kingdom of Italy having recei ved the communication of the law relative to the Budget of the State for 1812, has voted the follow ibg Address to his Majesty the Emperor and King : "'Sire—The law relative to the Budget of the State for the year 1812, has been received with una nimity by the Senate. The Counsellors of State, the Orators of Government, in the communication which . they bave given us of it, have pourtrayed the great improvements which the genius of your Majesty has within a few years accomplished, for the happiness of a kingdom of which you, Sire, are the founder.— Armies, roads, canals, legislation, publi c i nstruct i on , honours, aids granted to - letters, and the alts, all at test your paternal wisdom and solicitude. 44 The gfeat works you have undertaken for our prosperity, those invaluable benefits, are ever present to our thoughts, as they.are engraven on our hearts. Yet we constantly hear the recital of them with a new sentiment of gratitude towards your Majesty, who have conceived institutions so beneficent, and so wor thy of your great mind. " The Budget of this year presents to us a new proof of your attention. " You have not confined yourself, Sire, to the em ployment of the resources which our country pre sents : you have yourself furnished us with others, which will considerably augment the receipts of the Treasury. Wiihout ordering new impositions, you have not only provided for the present year, but have even found funds to pay the arrears of 1811, and preserve a reserve of several millions for unexpected necessities. Sire, the Senate of the Kingdom of Italy, pene trated with love and respect for the person of your Majesty, begs you to accept the expressions of their fidelity, their gratitude, and their entire submission." CONSTANTINOPLE, JANUARY . We have received intelligence that General Mar kow's corps, which has proved so fatal to us on the banks of the Danube, has repassed to the left of that river, and that the corps commanded by Seraskier Ismael Bey has left the position it occupied near Ca lafate, and taken another upon the right of the river. We have also learnt, that Tschapan Oglou's corps, which was in the island of Slobodse, had been forced by want of victuals and sickness to capitulate. The soldiers have been disarmed, the officers only preser ving their arms. The corps is cantoned in the vil. lages in the environs of Giurgewo. Nevertheless the sick and wounded, to the number of nearly 2000, have been given up to the Grand Vizier, and recon ducted to Rudschuck for their recovery, and to re ceive such cares as their situation demands. The Grand Vizier is constantly occupied in repair ing the works at Rudschuck, which the enemy had flestroyed. As soon as they are completed, and the place provisioned and placed in a state of defence, be will coiduct his army to take winter quarters at Schumla, where the old Admiral Hasig Ali Pacha, known by his severity in maintaining military disci pline, in tke mean time commands. The Russian and Turkish Generals'in Chief have, however, agreed to a suspension of arms for an inde finite time, upon the single condition of giving 20 days notice of the termination of the armistice. We _know, that in consequence of this suspension, the Raisins have granted for three or fourmontbs, under certain restrictions, permission for importation and exportation between Wallachia and the right, bank of the Danube by Senanitsa, but on the Turkish] side, this route continues shut;- to travellers and all' kinds of conveyances. Nothing is publicly known respecting the negeVlO= tions, which have been transferred from GiurgewOtti Bucharest ; an order of Government prohibits unclie, -the severest penalties the talking about peaceiu pub.' lic places. On the 25th tile Divan will deliberate, inpresence of the Grand Mufti, upon the preparations for the] next campaign. The most recent intelligence from Egypt confirms not only tbe taking of Jamho, and the fortress of Nahal-en-Bar, situate on the coast six leagues from Jumbo, but also speaks of three victories gained over the Wechabites, upon which a division of troops disembarked upon that point, and joined the princi pal corps, disembarked at another point, under the orders of Jusum Pacha, eldest son of the Governor of Egypt, and the army immediately put itself in motion fur Medina. The couriers bearing this intelligence, arrived on the 12th of November at Cairo. The execution of this great expedition, adds the information from Cairo, has not diminished the ac tivity of the Governor of Egypt, Mahomed Ali Pasha, who, at the same time, sent a division of ca valry to strengthen the cordon of Upper Egypt, and watch the movements of the wreck of the Mame- Jokes, who have joined un d er A swan. This will repress their incursions, and prevent them destroying that fine P;ovince. SEMLIN, FEBRUARY 8. . - Ti .e Servian Senate has dispatched several couriers t • Czerni Georges, who still remains at Topola.— There has yet been no formal public orders from which the recommencement of hostilities can be in. fined— nevertheless, the troops who returned to their licmes are not disbanded, but ordered to hold them selves in readiness to march at a moment's notice, and resume the positions they occupied previous to the last armistice. Hitherto the two cordons estab lished on the Drina and Morawa, have been very weak. The Turkish cordon from Bosnia keeps at a distance from the frontiers of Servia, and the mina brr of troops which were assembled at Nissa and. its -- environs, has been trifling, since several large de. those petitions. It was rather a fearful circumstance,l taehments marched from that corps to the interior ; and one which by no means ought to be treated in of Bulgaria.

Gentle Man was correct in saying that it was - -- - ; the duty of his Right Hon. Friend, as a Member of Parliament, to be present in his place in the House, but he conceived that on such a day, when no public business of importance was expected, and when the enquiries of the Hon. Gentleman could not by possi bility be anticipated ; the absence of his Right Hon. Friend could not be imputed to him as a very serious offence. 1 Mr. WHITBREAD said, that the Right Hon. Gentleman would perhaps communicate the conver sation to his Right Hon. Friend, and that to-morrow he would be able to afford additional information on the subject. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied, that, to-morrow, his Right Hon. Friend would be present to answer for himself. LORD STEWARD or THE HOUSEHOLD. P4RLMM.EATART PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OP LORDS, MARCH 4. The Siigar Bounty pi:i was read a third time, and passed. The Watch and Ward B:ll was read a second time, and order ed to be committed to-morow; with an understanding that it should be farther postponed, the Earl of LAUDEIDALZ having stated, that a Noble Friend of Is!, was anxious to be present at the committal of the Bill, who could not conveniently attend to-morrow. The kids Court-houses and County Infirmaries Bill and seve ral private Bills, were brought up from the Commons, and read a fir,t time. The Earl of MOIRA presented a Petition from the Debtors confined in the gaol of llodmin, in Cornwall, praying relief.— Laid on the table. The LORD CIIANCEI.LOR proposed that the appeal case, Lord Elgin v. Maclean, should be further heard to-morrow, be not having been able to come in time to the House this day front his being detained at the Council at Carbon House. He also proposed that the consideration of the claim to the Roxburgh Peerage should be proceeded in un Monday, if the parties were ready, that the whole of this important case might be disposed of as soon as possible. The Earl of LAUDERDALE adverted to the wish of some Noble Friends, who, with himself, were desirous of entering their protests against the measure which had recently been re peatedly sanctioned by the House; but he seemed to think, that agreeably to a strict construction of the Orders of the House, the regular period had gone by. He therefore gave notice, that on to-triorrow he would move for the consideration of the relevant Standing Order, with a view to its occasional suspension, in or det to enable them to enter their protests regularly upon the Journals of the House. Mr. W. \VYNNE rose likewise to ask a question. The office of Lord Steward, which WAS of the highest importance, had now for some time been vacant.— He wished to know if it were soon likely to be filled up. He should otherwise think it necessary to bring the subject before the House, as many great incon veniencies were daily arising from the want of such an efficient Officer. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, the office would be filled up to-morrow. THE LORD CHAMBERLAIN. The Neb:e Earl also notified his intention of moving for the production of certain documents (a list of which he read), cal culated to throw additional light on the effects of the Orders in Council, and of the system of granting Licences. After transacting some judicial business, their Lordships ad journed till to-morrow. Mr. WHITBREAD said, the important office of Lord Chamberlain had also been long vacant, and great and numerous inconveniencies had thereby accrued. In that House even one of its first and most efficient offices couid not be filled up for want of a Lord Chamberlain—the office of Serjeant at Arms ; and it was highly necessary it should not long remain so. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the Hon. Gentleman was mistaken, for the office of Serjeant-at-Arms had been filled from the com mencement of the Session. Mr. WHITBREAD replied, that the office had only been filled by the appointment of the Deputy Serjeant ad interim ; that, from the authority of the Speaker, and of the Act which had lately passed that House, it appeared, that two Officers were neces sary ; and it a deputy were not necessary now, he saw no reason why it ever should he so—Adjourned. THE I.l\ ENING STAR. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr. W. POLE obtained leave to bring in a Bill to enable the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland to regulate the Price of Coals bought for the benefit of the Poor in the City of Dublin. He observed, that by the existing Act of Parliament it was provided, that a certain quantity of Coals should be annually purchased for the poor of the City of Dublin. It wad however also provided, that no greater price should be given than I6s. and no larger profit allowed than is. per ton. For some years it had been impossible to buy coals at that price; but the Commissioners for Auditing Public Accounts, finding that the person employed to make the purchases, although be had been obliged to give more than 16s. a ton, had bought the coals at as cheap a rate as possible, had thought proper to pass his accounts. It was expedient, however, that this violation, of the law should no longer continue, and it was to enable the Lord Lieutenant to order tie coals to be put chased at the cheapest market price, whatever that might be, that thy pri:vosed Bill was about to be introduced. Mr. W. POLE presented a Petition fr. ni the Trustees of the Blue Coat Hospital in Dublin, and moved, that it be laid on the Table. The SPEAKER enquired whether It was one of the usual annual pe•lticns from the Irish Charities ? Mr. W. POLE replied in the negative. The SPEAKER said, that as it contained new matter, it must be referred to the consideration of a Committee to examine the facts. Referred to a Committee accordingly. Sir FRANCIS 4iIiRDETT gave notice, that In the Committee on the Mutiny Bill, he would propose a clause to prevent the flogging of Soldiers. Mr. MART IN postponed his motion relative to the Registrar of the Admiralty, which stood for to morrow, toTbursday se'nnighr. The several Expiring Laws Bills were read a second time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow. The Reports of the Holt and Woolmer Forest Bills were brought up, and the Bills were ordered to be recommitted. 'I ITe COrntnittec on the Indemnity Bill was postponed to Monday. Mr. Joowson, from the Office of Chief Secretary for Ireland, presented an Account of the Expenditure of the Commissioners 'of Bogs in Ireland.—Ordered to be printed The Irish Spirit Warehousing Bill was read a 3d tlme,and passe& PETITIONS TO THE PRINCE REGENT. Mr. WHITBREAD, alluding to what had fallen last might in the debate, and which the lateness of the- hour had then prevented him from noticing, wanted to-know, from the Right Honourable Gen tleman opposite, how it came to pass that Petitions from the people could not find their way to the Prince Regent ? Two Noble Lords (Lord G. L. Gower and Lord Milton) had last night stated to the House, that they had three weeks ago placed Peti tions from Manufacturers, against the Orders in Council, in the hands of the Secretary of State, he ished to know what had become of them, and was sorry the Right Hon. Secretary of State was not then in his place ; he, however, expected an answer on the subject from the Right Honourable Gentleman oppcsite. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed, that certainly the Secretary of State was better qualified than he was to give the Honourable Gentleman the explanation he wanted. He thought, however, that he could take upon himself to say, that the delay complained of had taken place solely because there had been no day fixed for the Prince's levee, on which occasion it was usual to present pe titions. Had there been a special application to pre sent those petitions on any other day, he had no doubt but it would have been attended to; but except in such particular cases, petitions were presented only on levee days ' • at the same time he thought it rather unreasonable that the Hon. Gentleman should call him to an account for a transaction foreign to his de partment. Mr. WHITBREAD remarked that the Right Honourable Gentleman was pleased to be facetious;' but it was the duty of the Secretary of State, as a Member of Parliament, to attend in his place ; and in his absence it was the right of any other Member of Parliament to ask for information from those who it was probable could afford it on any subject upon 'which the public interest demanded explanation.— He repeated that he wished to know, whether the, Secretary of State for the Home Department had I communicated to the Regent the fact that there were petitions in the hands of different Noblemen and Gentlemen which they were desirous of presenting to the Regent ? For 114 such a communication been made, he could not conceive it pursible that the Regret *ould not have been advised to receive LONDON. THURSDAY MARCH 5.

The printed journals are bar ren of all intelligence respecting the Peninsula, and they seem cautiously to avoid any statements re specting the North of Europe. Private letters, how ever, say, that Marshal BERTIRER has already set off from Paris to take the command, ad interim, of the army on the Polish frontiers. The EMPEROR himself is expected to follow Bea- THIER in a few days, having signified it to be his in tention to command in person—We may add— against Russia. It will be seen by our extracts front the Paris papers, that the Russian and Turkish armies still keep be field. ' Yesterday his Royal Highness the Parxca REGENT held a Court at Carlton Palace. About two o'clock the Piuxce, attended by Colonel MAD MAHON, Generals TURNER and KEPPEL, left his pri. vate apartments and proceeded to his closet, where the Bishop cf OXFORD, attended by the Dean of WINDSOR, as Clerk of the Closet, and Mr. REIM, as Secretary of State for the Home Department, was introduced, and did homage before his Royal High , ness upon his election to Out See. The PRINCE REGENT then held a Privy Council, which was attended by The President of the Council, the Lord Chancellor, the Lord Privy Seal, the President of the board of" Grade, the First Lord of the Treasury and Chancellor of the Exchequer, the First Lord of the Admiralty ; the Master-(leneral of the Ordisance, the three Secretaries of State, the President of the Board of Controul, and the Duke of Montrose.

Kum's TintATax.--Tuesday eveni ex opera of La Clematza de Tii• was pertormed wiil, science and taste worthy the incomparable Au t hor. MOZART is without comparison, as we think, 1 ; n Shalespear of the lyric drama, the man above e z others who gives the passion of poetry to music, ail quickens by its influence all the best emotions bid * soul. When his compositions come to be peff enti by an orchestra so perfect in execution, and so mina. tcd by enthusiasm as the band of the Opera alway s e re when they have his works before them, it requ;re i Gar the addition of a CATALAN( and a TRAMMUII Is make the enchantment irresistible. In truth we Dem . witnessed more genuine applause from the conuoi sett than on Tuesday night. Af:er the opera, Mons. Dirnmor himself made his first appearance with his wife, and danced ane nt beatiful minuet and gavotte to the admiration of e le spectators. OaAronto.—The Serenata of " Aa, and G a l ata » written by Mr. GAY. aad composed by the rat HANDEL, was last night produced at Covent-Gard Theatre, under the superintendasce of the lqaUrs. ASHLEY, in a very effective style. Mr. Baena*, e s Air, and Mrs. DICKONS, as Galatea, were highly ap. plauded in their different airs and duets. —In th e aO. sence of Mr. BELLAMY, who was prevented from at. tending by indisposition, Mr. TINNZY sang the p of Po/oliernur—his deep bass tones, though not so mellow as those of Mr. BELLAMY, are well adapted for executing the music, which the discriminating mind of HANDEL has attached to the part. H e was very well received. in the recitative, " I role, I so. I burn," his forcible expression excited general sp . probation. In the grand miscellaneous act, whi t * succeeded the seren.ita, Mr. BRAHAM sang the reci, tative and air, " the Death of Nelson," frail the Opera of The Americanc, which was loudly newel. In the course of the evening, Madame Caratesi executed an it4lian pastorale and braving, and an English air : the former were encored. The ;raw. ; 14 renar vorrsi le lagrime," composed by PORTEEALts, excited universal admiration.—The house boasted very fashionable company.
