C • St. UVI •011 Al clu 1 11" Cla had been already expended, without estimating what.' remained to be expended. He believed that in the Laid Cliambvilain's department, there would be 4 pretzy considerable increase beyond the return already made. He could not speak with accuracy On the subject at present. Mr. TIERNEY declared himself surprised at this; answer, as on the two last Committees that had sito upon the Civil List, it seemed to be perfectly under- 1 stood that no new works should be begun without a previou. estimate of the expence being laid before the House. It appeared now that great works had been begun, and were carrying on, of which the House were completely without information as to their probable expence. We saw those new works in the Parks rising every day, but how high they were to got up, or how low they were to fall, or what was to be the probable expence of them, the House was mpletely ignorant. Mr. BENNETT wished to put a question to the R;ght Hon. Gentlenian as to a great structure that was now building in the Great Park of Windsor. It Was a most singular piece of architecture, but very capacious, and contained a vast number of rooms, and great accommodations. He wished to know who this Palace was built for, and who was to be the owner or occupier of it. He also wished to know by whose taste it had been constructed, as be should wish to prevent, as far as possible, that person from having any concern in other buildings which were at the na tional expence. The walls of this edifice were of stone, and the roof of thatch, and it altogether ap peared to him, asexpressed by a poet, The eras'd enemies of &tempted brains !' The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied, that this building was intended for the resi dence of the Prince ltegentand notwithstanding there mere already many Royal Palaces. be did not sup. pose that any one of them could be fitted up for the accommodation of the Prince at so small an expense as this, which was called “ the Cottage" in Windsor rark." As to the expense, the greater part of k had been already accounted for in the expenditure of the Civil List of the last year. Mr. TIERNEY saw in the accounts a sum of £2OOO, for works in Winclior Great Park. He wish ed to know whether this was 'all that remained to be provided for on this account, as £2OOO was a sum which would go but a hale way in thatch fur this magnificent palace. • The CHANCELLOR Of the• EXCHEQUER said, that the returns had been made last year, but he was not sure whether all the bills had been furnished. Lord CASTLEREAGH said, that this building was fur the accommodation of the Prince Regent, who, as a subject, had no house in the country to retire to 1X ithin a cosivenient distance of town. Mr. BENNETT then moved for the plan and esti. matei of this building in Windsor Park. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER bad no objection.to a return of the expense already in curred, or an estimate of the probable future expense. He saw no reason, however, for the plan being laid before the House; and tfitreforeasoved as an amend ment. that that part of thematic* should be omitted. Mr. TIERNEY thought it impossible for the House to know what they were doing, unless they had the estimate as well as the Om CHANPELLIK of lin EXCHEQUER considered it of no irhirortente to submit to the con sideration of the House . whether this plan spewed good taste or bad taste. He thought it right, how. ever, Parliament should be informed of the expense. Mr. TIERNEY did not wish to criticize the na tore of the plait, but conceived it absolutely impos sible to form 4 judgment about the estimate of the expense, without having the plan of the building. The Amendment of the Cuairceu-oft of the Ex cum= was carried, by a majority. of 43 to 9. On entering the Gallery, after the division, we found Mr. Ti MINIM inquiring from.wham the Board of Works had received their instructions prior to be. ginning the works in the Parks ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that it was in the Lord Chamberlain's Depart ment, Mr. TIERNEY observed, that in the Lord Cham berlain's returns, it was expressly mentioned 44 exclu sive of the new works now carrying on in the Parks." He believed that it was now evident that those works %timid come to a great de4l more than the rglsoo o which had been at first mentioned. Sir W. CONGREVE said that be had no reason , to alter the opinion he before gave, that after deduct iag the value of the materials, £15,000 would he sufficient to cover the expense of the preparations for the fire...works. Mr. TIERNEY then asked by whose directions, or by what authority, he had undertaken works to the extent of JE15,00 ? Sir W. CONGREVE said, that he thought him. ..elf justified by precedent. In the year 1749, the iioard of Works lad, by the authority of a King's war rant, gone to considerable expense for the prepa ration of fire-wm ks. _ Mr. TIERNEY then asked, was there a King's warrant for this expenditure of NI 3,000 ? Sir W. CONGREVE . said, that he was not pre- pared to say that s warrant had been yet granted to that amount. There had been a warrant for part of it. Mr. TIERNEY begged to be understood, that be did not me4n to impute the slightest mismanagement •,r inattention to Sir William Congreve, in the amt. tion qf that part of the duty which he had under ken. AR he %ranted was a regular estimate of the ti)eltst• and rte t merely what might have been men oiled in a loos:: conversation iron) Mr. Nash to Sir 'illi nun Congr:ve. The CHANCELLOR at the EXCHEQUER that there was a warnt for the sum of five :butimnJ rands. Mr. TIERNEY then moved an estimate of the c l umsy of the preparations tor the fete in Hyde Park. L. Itmes's Park, and the Green Park.—Agreed to. Mr. I3ANKES wished to know whether the bridge 'or tne Canal in the Park. with all its ornamental perstructure, was , included in the estimate of 15,400 Sir W. CONGREVE said, that it was it firsa ia- AsJrJ, but as the bridge was intended now to be a erntanent one, he did nut think it could be fairly lastud among the preparations fur tire.wu► kc. Mr. BENNEtt asked, whether the large orna• ►ents upon the bridge were to be removed, or whe• er ter were to be pet raiment ? S:t W. CONGKEVE said that this would be a • . •• • • Leot;li question of arts, an not say which h way it would be decided. In atommittee Loci 'PASTLEREAGH Wu :Pfeil that the Chairman should be instructed to move fOr leave to bring in a Bill to fisrther continue the nets no,w in force with respect to India bit& shipping for one year, from the lit of January next. The House resumed, and least was e'en to bring; in *the Bill. EMIT ESTIMATES. On the report of the Army EstiMates, Mr. BEII- 1 1 NETT expressed his objections to the alteration made with respset to the Guards, at great length. He disapproved of giving the Commander-in-Chief that increase of patronage which he would derive from this measure. He ntoved that the report should be recommitted. intending, if this were agreed to, to move a reduction of the-grant made by the first reso lution, that the alteration to which he had adverted might not be carried into effect. Lord PALMERSTON defended the measure be! had recommended. The Duke of York, he observed.' in taking Officers from the half-pay list to fill up the commissions which had been vacated, had saved the country between 2 and A'300,000, and he thought the Commander in Chief who had acted thus, might safely be trusted with the patronage of 35 commissions. After a short conversation the motion for the recom mitment of the Report was negatived, the Resolutions agreed to. and Bills ordered accordingly. In a Committee of Supply, the following sums were voted, To twit* lfis Majesty to fulfil the engagements en tered Me with Foreign Powers £1,200,000 For Fwslng and Improving of the neighbourhood of Westminster Hall and the two Howes of Parham( nt t'.6 775 To the Trustees of the British Museum 2 , 0 00 The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER brought in a Bill for the further continuancc of the Acts now in force respecting India-built ships. The Bill was read a first, and ordered to be read a second time to-morrow. The remaining Orders of the D.ty were disposed of, and the House adjourned. THE EVENING STAR.

We mentioned yesterday the ♦isit of her Royal Highness the Princess of (VALES to the House of Commons, en Tuesday night ; but the rumours con nected with this were so various and contradictory, that we thought it best to refrain from all notice of them till we should learn something respecting the real facts. The public already know, that one, if not the prin cipal cause, of the breaking off of the intended mar riage between the Princess Ctimmorre and the He reditary Prince of ORANGE, was the reluctance of' her ROYAL HIGIINESti to be taken out of England.— This matter has, of course, caused much embarrass-, ment to all the parties, and no small degree of un easiness and agitation ; and is supposed to have had some connection with the circumstances we are about to detail. On Tuesday evening his Royal Highness the PRINCit REGENT, accompanied with the Archbishop of CAN. TUMMY. waited on the Princess CHARLOTTE. at Warwick House. when she was informed that Miss KNIGHT, and all her Household, as well as all the servants attending upon her, were dismissed—and that her Royal Highness should forthwith take up her residence in, Carlton House, (and Crvnford L•Age) whither the Countess Dowager of ROSSLYN, the Coun tess of ILCHESTER, the two Miss COATES, and Mrs. CAMPBELL, then in the next room, were in readiness to accompany her; and that her Royal Highness was in future to be under their superintendence, without whose knowledge she was neither to receive visits nor letters. Her Royal Highness quitted the room—descended the back staircase with rapidity, darted through the kitchen, proceeded up Cockspur-street into the Hay. market, and threw herself into a hackney-coach at the stand opposite the - Opera House, whence she drove to Connaught House, the residence of her mother. The Princess of WALES was absent, but a groom was dispatched to Blackheath, to request her imme diate return to town: The Groom met her Royal Highness on the way, and deliveted the Princess CHARLOTTE'S note, acquainting her with the event; upon which the Princess of Wailes drove to the Par liament House, and eagerly inquired for Mr. WRlT parAtt, who was- absent—and for Earl GRIY, who had left town several days before. She then went on to her own house at Connaught-place, where her Daughter communicated the particulars we have stated ; and where Mr. BROUGHAM, who had been sent (or to Mr. MICHAEL AMMO TAYLOR'S, had arrived. The flight of the Pan:Vital from Warwick-House was soon made kngwn to the PRIIICI Raman% at the Duke of Youn's, where a great party were assembled. Notice of it was also sent to the Quart, who had a card party, and which she instantly left. A Council was called, sal Lori El.l.lle3oaoUOß and Lord EL tioN were consulted. Rumour says, that a Habeas Corpus was to be issued to bring back the person of h er Royal Highness to Carlton-House. But the Duke of Yonc and three other Gentlemen went to Connaught-House; and stated to her Royal Highness her father's commands to conduct her back. Mr. BItOtXXAM had previously acquainted her Royal . . 'Highitss, that by the laws of the land the madibey her fathet'l `commaiid and When the Duke of YORK gave her aVt assurance 'that she should not be immured, inr treated with the seveity which she dreaded', the consented to recurs with hitii i and accordingly, at a little past three o'clock yesterday morning her Royal Highness was conveyed to Carlton-House, where she maw remains—all the persons by whom the his been leriea being removed from attendance on her person, except Mrs Lewis, who had followed ter tb Con naught-House with her night-cloaths, and who was permitted to tetorn with her in the carriage, along With the bake Of YORK. It would be improper in us to offer any remarks an events which will probably be noticed in Parliament,' or be brought in some authentic shape before the public. We cannot, however, refrain from observing, that, in the circutnttinces in which the Princess Cuaas.oxxx is placed, ei►ea people of maturer years and greater experience would be much perplexed how to act. We can conceive nothing *more distressing to a mind endued with sensibility, than to be com. pelled to make an election as to the particular object and measure of her filial affection. To-day we have received Paris Papers of Sunday! and Monday. The Moniteur of Monday contains at length the new Swiss Constitution: it is founded 'upon the principles of independence and liberty, for which the Swiss Republics were formerly so cele brated in the annals of history. From an article undir the head " Rome" in the Journal let Debate, and thence copied into the Mcni teur, it would appear that King JoACHIM NAPOLEON MVRAr sits very insecurely upon his throne: we in sert the article at length—it is a curiosity, and is the forerunner, we have no doubt, of the restoration of the legitimate Sovereign of Naples. Waar is at present threatened by the POPE, and reminded in pretty broad terms of the slippery tenure by which he holds the Sovereignty of Naples. An article from Madrid states, that the King has seriously directed his attention to the disturbed state of South America. He has invited such Metnbersof the Cartes as were Deputies from America, to give in memorials and ,:,*et: for the better Government of that country. Circulars have been sent to all the Spanish Pro• vinces, requiring a list of the pictures and other mo numents of art, of which they have been robbed, in order to make a formal dethand for restitution at Paris. The Marqnis ALMV44IIA, late Prime Minister*, JOSEPH BONAPARTIN has written from Paris to say; that he is willing to restore those pictures which were entrusted to him by his late Master, and which were stoke from the Royal Palaces in Spain. Three beau tiful pictures by RArst,w, one by Tmax, and a Holy Family, by Munii.t.o, are among the valuables which AINENIRA Ofrvri :0 give up. The Duke of Sl'. CA nos, Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs, and M. Lase/soon are to represent Spain at the ensuing Congress at Vienna. The King of FRAACt has permitted the free expor tation of gold and silver, coined and uncoined, sub ject merely to certain slight custom-house regulations This is a most judicious measure; the preamble to the Decree is worthy the attention of all our politi cal economists.—a We have ascertained," says his Majesty, that all the prohibitions of the exportation of gold and silver are of no avail in preventing it, and have no other effect than that of fettering commerce and hindering the entrance or transit of the said ar ticles, so that such prohibitions far from increasing the quantity of gold and silver, tend on the contrary to make them disappear and diminish their quan city," &c. PARIS, JULY Sy. The Marshals of France are either gone, or are on the point of setting off for their respective Govern ments. Marshal Mortier, Duke of Treviso, is appointed Governor of the 16th military division, the head quarters of which are at Lisle. M. de Rayneval, son of the former first Commis sioner of Foreign Affairs, is said to be appointed Consul-General of France in England. ROME, JUNE 26. It is not without surprize that we have read in cer tain Journals an order of the day, published at An cona by the Commandant of the Neapolitan troops, to bring before an extraordinary and special Com mission, 66 certain malevolent person:, who seek to disturb the tranquillity of the Departments of the 191dauro, Af worm, and Trento, and who spread seditious rumours." We may detnand to be informed if we still live in times when the most loyal subjects were called seditious this has been too long the fashion in Spain and other countries. The tyrant who wished to subjugate Spain gave the name of Rebels to these generous spirits who took arms against him ; but, now that his yoke is broken, all injuries repaired, and everyone restored to his rights, this revolutionary language and the proceedings threatened ought to be proscribed. All usurpation ought to cease with the Usurper: He invaJed, in 1808, the Marche of Ancona and the Eastern parts of the States of the Church, cock them item the Port, and formed them into three Depart• ments. But the Holy See never ceded mete Pro vinces by any treaty : no treaty gave them to any other Power; and it is as unjust to retain them as it was to take them originally. The inhabitants, who evinced attachment to their legitimate Government *cannot therefore be regarded as malipme and trifirtour ;lima*. Those gioii Provinces by foreign armies, and imasit map, or exercise an aitharitt *Mei*, illegiti mate are the real infitiogi Ana qt. grime permit The Mairche of Ancona, and the adjacent terlitoCiei, belong as strictly to the Pope, as /toast Mid the littoral* of the biediiirrallseanAie Ought to mar loco full # %session of both, and to kelp them from Mm b# violets*, Without- any title, ii an bet of ambftiOn and tyranny Which has too much resemblance to toe conduct of the lan despot, and Which probably will not hiive a longer run of sue. Celt than his iniqUitods proceeding's. Such an usurpation is surely not m 113 . 11110117 with the spirit which agaves the Sovereigns, our deli verers. They hive given to the world, during the recent grand revolutions, the example of most admir able moderation, disinterestedness, and equity; and kla hot to enter into their views, It is not to sem* Ink cause, it is not to render one's-self worthy of their rod will, to refuse, after their example, to restore to a neighbouring Power what was taken from it isT manifest injustice ; but, on the contrary, to exercise in the Pope's dominions severities towards subjects who profit by this general restoration to te%tify their 6delity and devotion to their legitimate Sovereign. Two Gottenburgh Mails arrived this morning: they bring the following intelligence: " GOMNBURGII, JUNE 2T.

A Guard of Honour marched into the Court-yard of Carlton House, yesterday, soon after two o'clock, previous to his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT holding a Court. At three, the Delegates from the University of Oxford came in grand procession from the St. Alban's Tavern, St. Alban's-street, with the Address of the University on the restoration of Peace. The Address was read by Lord GRRNVILLIE very au dibly and distinctly. The PRINCI having returned an answer, they were all most graciously received, and had the Honour to kiu the Paruca Raciawr's hand.
