The Commission of Knights of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, with M. Pfurdt, Grand Pricr of Germany at their head, had yesterday the honour of being presented to his Majesty. M. Courtoss de Pressigny, former Bishop of Saint Mal% left Paris this day as Ambassador Extraorsii. nary to his Holiness the Pope. The Editor of the Journal der Dart: observes, that he is authorisvd by M. de Wetterstedt to contradict as totally false, an article taken from a Copenhagen•' paper, asserting that the Crows Prince of Sweden proposed to estend the conscription to youths of six teen. All clast.es of the Swedish people had received his Ri”al Highness with every mark of love and attachment. The Duke de Berri's regiment of cavalry, his Royal Highness being at its head, was some days ago reviewed by the Prince of Wagram ; after which the Prince hunted with his Royal Highness in the forest of St. Germain. VIENNA. JUNE 26. Our. Emperor has sent the Prince Regent of Eag land the Order of the Golden Fleece, requesting him to wear it as a pledge of his consideration and fi iend ship. His Majesty, at the same time, as Grand Master of the Order, dispensed with the usual oath, which can only be taken by Catholic Knights. When Prince Metternich and Count Meerfeldt presented to the Prince Regent the: decorations of the Order, they also delivered to hint an autograph letter horn thy Emperor. Hit Majesty ha,s at the same time appointed the Prince Regent chief and commandant of a regiment of hussars, which will bear the name of the Prince Regent of England, like those which bear the names of Princes of the House of Austria. Prince Schwartz:nburg arrived in this capital on the 23d ; he came from Bahemia, and received ►:n In.' rotite the most flittering testimonies of the grAtitusle of the people. He will soon be installed, with great pnmp, President of the Council. of War. Our Gazette tomains details with regard to some skirmishes with the Monienegrins, i h o had taken possession of the Nits of Cattat 0, sk hen evacnated by the French. Tie Montenegrins were driven out by the Austrian troops. It is rather an extraordinary circumstance, that our course of exchange has been for some days on the decline. The American Papers which we received yesterday, contain the speech of Governor STRONG, of Massa husets, to the assembly of that State, delivered on the 30th of May last. Like all the former compositions of thatenlightened patriot and statesmen, it is full of the language of peace and moderation. After notic ing the mischievous effects of MADMAN'S wicked measures, and thanking the people of Massachusets for their constitutional forbearance under such cruel tyranny and oppression, Mr. STRONG proceeds: " From the time that war was declared, a great proportion of the people in this State have viewed that measure as unnecessary and unjustifiable ; their senti. ments were fully expressed by their Representatives then assembled, and afterwards at every subsequent meeting of the State Legislature. Our National Rulers had. therefore, no reason to expect that, with these sentiments, we should do any thing more in sup port of the war, than they had a right by the Consti tution to demand ; and they could not expect it, un less they supposed we were destitute of moral prin ciple. Nor has the manner of carrying on the war had any tendency to satisfy us of its policy or justice; it was commenced, and is still prosecuted against the onoffending inhabitants of canada, with whom many of the people of these nuts ate connected by the ele! of blood and the habits of friendship, ' . . ' 46 Dot as Congress have authority, by the Consti tution, to declare war, and impose taxes to defray the 'expence, we are bound to obey . the laws which , ate duly en..cied for this purpose ; and I am happy to observe, th it none of the menctire! of the General Government have been opposed by violence, and no dangerous commntions have disgraced the people, in this Commonwealth. I flatter myself that our fellow citizens will continue to manifest tr.. 2 same regard to order, and will confide in you, Gentlemen. as the guardians of their rights, to adopt such measures for their relief and safety, as your wisdom shall dictate, and the constitution of our country justify, 66 We can hardly conceive that in the present state of France and England, the Members of onr Go vernment can have any temptation to continue the war. We hope they will perceive the danger of being involved in the politics and quarrels of Europe—that they will provide for the common defence, and make no attempts to extend our territory, either by con quest or purchase, or to allure the subjects of foreign Power; to become citizens of the United States—that they will protect the Indian Tribes in their rightful possessions ; and that they will seek Peace in the spirit of candour and reconciliation, and impose no unreasonable restraints herbafter upon commercial enterprise. We may then hope to become once more a prosperous and united People." A Dutch Mail arrived this morning. It contains no intelligence of much importance. The opening of the Congress at Vienna will, it is chid, take place 'about the beginn:ng of August. The Etmutott of RUbSIA w.ts expected in the Austrian territories about the 10th of July. The KING of BAVARIA and the GRAND DUKE of BAUEN will be present. There was a Grand Review of all the English troops at Erns. sels on the 6th instant.

It is prohable fhat Captain Ihnea, in the Undaunted, will convey them there. BONAPARTE has made Captain USHER a present of a beautiful snuff-box, and some very curious wine, as an acknowledgment of his attentions on the voyage to Elba.

New POST OFFlCE.— Yesterday, a numorous and very respectable Meeting of Merchants, Bankers, and others, took place at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, to talc- into consideration the fittest steps to he adop ted for supporting the all now in progress through Parliament, for removing the Post Office from its pre. sent situation to the top t fCheepside. Mr. R. TwlN ' ING WAS called to the Chair.—Mr. BUTTFRWORTII, P. addressed the Meeting at cons;tl.!r .ble length. and urged the advantages which woul.: mise to the• pu! l'c at large from the re moval t the Post Office to the propos, d spot. He observed, that three-fifths of tl e letters put into the Post Office were from the west of the present °lice, and only two fifths from the east. One of the strongest objections t , ) the re moval had been, that mitch delay and inconvenience would arise from the chi:very of the foreign letters. That difficulty would be obviated by the establish ment of a receiving house in Cornhill, where the fo. reign mails would be received, and letters delivered. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving a string of Resolutions in favour of the pl in for the removal of the Office from its present situation. Mr. Sheriff Cos, awl several other Gentlemen, supported the Re. solution r, which were agreed to unanimously, and a Petititai to both Houses of Parliament, founded upon them, was agreed to, and left at the bar of the, Tavern for signatures. Rutarra. —Yesterday Astley's twenty-sixth an nual wherry, given in honour of the Kirg's birth .day, was rowed for by six watermen, who have recently returned to their native country front France, were they were confined as prisoners of war. They started about half-past fear o'ciock: There never was a finer display of the art of rowing. The candidates appeared an even match ; J. Tomson, of Islungerford Stairs, however, took the lead, and won the prize by not more than a boat's length. Besao.—This day the Loma Mayon ordered the prize to fall one penny in the peck-loaf —to take place on Thursday--the price of the quarters loaf will then be Eleven-pence Halfpenny.

(Bursts of aNdaule4 I should be proud to re-enter Parliament as the Representative of Westminster, after a public lite of 31 years, doting which time I can conscient'ously declare that my vote w.ss always in the maintenance of the cause of civil liberty." (490/aare ) It was not his intention, he added, to make any commentary ei•her upon the ja. dicial authorities of the land, or on the subsequent proceedings in Parliament, in the case of Lord Coch rane ; at the same time be could not refrain from r x. pressing his own opinion, that the Noble Lard Wig entitled to the benefit of an appeal to his constituents for the protection of his character. Under inch cit.. cumstances he felt it but just to wave his claim to the consideration of the Electors of Westminster, beg. ging it to be understood that he did so merely in the case of Lord Cochrane. (Lord and continued elven.) Sir FRANCIS BURDETT then came forward, and was, for several minutes, prevented from addressing the Mechlin by the most unbounded and continued ac clamation. The Hon. Baronet commenced by de. claring, that he had had many opportunities of wit. nessing the proud and manly spirit of independence which actuated the Electors of Westminster, but upon no former occasion waphe so impressed with its value and its setnght, because it was never before of so much importance to the country. (Great alyshoual.) The questien roe at issue was pl only, whether they would alloer an innocent mad to he destroyed by core rnption and power, or, whether, in their characters as Electors of Westminstso-, they would come for. ward and support a man, once chosen by 'hem for his character, and which he (Sir Francis) conceived he had never subsequently f irreited. (Reiterant deem.) indeed, it seemed by the display of it. arm. tress to have become more elevated by persecution... (Lasdchters.) Mr. Sheridan, it appeared, had d to put forth what he called liiitchaim. to their auto. lion, in this proceeding; that Gentleman only acted a proper, a graceful, and a polite pert.
