an universal war, the terrors occasioned by a costa. pion which made dreadful ravages in a neighbouring island, the ordinary convulsions occasioned by itreat, snaen, and unprepared for changes, kave occasioned some complaints, and (shall I say it ?) some dissen• :ions. But on this solemn day every thing combines to make us enjoy happiness, and to efface the recol lection of mischief. Sons and brothers of the same family, animated by the same interests and the same glory, you will have only one spirit and one descendant from Henry IV. I shall only desire the welfare of my people ; and shall employ only for their benefit, all the moments of my life—. 4 the power and prerogative which the constitution has guaranteed to my Crown." Here his Majesty traced rapidly the diffeteat bag sass which was to occupy the attention of %Ala i rient—the maintenance of the army, the code of laws, a more easy and equal system of taxation, the coinage of money, and, above all,. the formation of public roads; for while laws were improving, men should not be absolutely destitute of the means of mutual communication. The King then addressed the Members of the Commons. announcing that a new plan of finance would be submitted in them, and urging them to provide for the payment of the credit of the State. " Promptly remedy an evil so great," said he, 44 and consider that the sacrifice will be made only once." His Majesty added, 44 Lords and Citizens I—l owe a public testimony of approbation and eulogy to my well beloved son, the Hereditary Prince, for his conduct during the time that he filled my Place. Experience has enabled me to enjoy beforehand the satisfaction of seeing in him who must occupy the throne alter me, the vir tues which honour the throne. 44 It remains for me to remind you of the high re putation and glory acquired by our troops in Spain and in Italy, where they served with the troops of an august and old Ally, the King of Great Britain, and under the orders of that meritorious Captain-General Lord William Bentinck, co-operating towards the happy swiss of the general cause, the destruction of usurpation, the restoration of justice and legitimate power." After this discourse, the Chamber of Peers re mained assembled, and unanimously voted an• A ddress of thanks to the King. TH :NINC4 STA R. LON DON. MONDAY, AUGUST 22, 131.

" On the 30th of July, the second. corps d'armee, under the command of his Excellency Count Essen, in person, crossed the/ frontiers, and occupied Borby and Prestbacka. The enemy made no resistance any where, excepting at Arhacka, where a small detachment fired a few shot, and then immediately fell back. This corps, which is nearly 20,000 strong, under the Field Marshal's own command, had to contend in its march from Ornasbridge to Prestbacka, with numberless difficulties and hardships, which it has borne in a manner that does honour to the energy of the General, and the ardour of the troops. " On the same day the Crown Prince, accom panied by the Duo of Sudertnania and his general staff, mdde a recoMidwance from his head•quertees at StrOrnstad to Berbf and Prestbacka. The road, which was over almost perpendicular mountains, was wary difficult for infantry, and impracticable for ca valry.- Prince Oscar's horse fell with him is a very stony spot, but the Prince alighted with great agility, pulled him up, and leading him by the bridle, pro. ceeded to Berby on foot. On the Mu July Major• General Golm's corps entered Norway. He fotmd little resistAnce till he cAnse to MJ►lmen, is nine and a half (nine miles) from Kingswinger. On the following day he drove the enemy from Malasen, which he occupied. a Oa the lit of August Count Essen sent General Branstrom to reconnoitre Tistedaheln. His van, under Lieut. Cul. Baron V. Doha, pushed on to the bridge of Tisdedaheln, which they found broke down, and 600 of the enemy posted advantageously on the op. posite side of the creek. The General ordered the chasseurs of the Si brigade, under Captain Lind, and a battalion of the regiment of Westermanca, under ' Count Croohjelms, to cross a ford, on the right flank of the enemy, who immediately fell back : he took forty-five prisoners—our loss was three killed and IS wounded. eiptia Absented' WeWaimea. _ the _ ebasseurs, was wounded in the arm, but still coati aued to perform his duty. U Baron Duben, Major Lefren, and Captain So. dermark, have distinguished themselves. The latter, who was among the first that passed the ford, has received a contusion in the breast. As woe as the enemy learned that we were at Tistedahlen, he gave up the strong position at Swinesund. General Baron Pease ordered his van, under Adjutant-General Count Rederstolpe, to cross the inlet and march forward to Torpum. Count Essen had already given orders to prepare a bridge of boats, which was stationed at Magehaatn• , on the north point of Sando. " The bridge was thrown over Swinestand, and General Posse's whole division entered Norway." We have received Paris Papers of Thursday last. `The intelligence from France and from other coun tries is rather important. The Moniteur contains the formula for the convocation of the two Estates of the Kingdom ; the heads of which were formerly known. it may be as well to remind our Readers that the two Houses of the French Legislature are summoned like those of this country by Royal Proclamation, but the French King exercises an additional prerogative : he issues besides, sealed letters of invitation to each Member of the Houses. and in point of etiquette no person considers himself entitled to attend, unless he receives such letter. This of course enables the King to get rid of such Members as may be obnoxious to the Court ; and, together with the controul of the Press. makes him nearly an absolute Monarch. Several articles from Italy concur in stating, thati preparations are making for the departure of the ci &want Royal Family of Spain, from the country which has so long afforded them an asylum. Their place of destination is variously reported : some re present it to be alternately Sicily, Majorca, and Spain. The King of the Two Sicilies has formally re sumed the exercise of the sovereign authority, byopen ing his Parliament by a speech very much in the manner of that of a British Sovereign on a similar occasion. He seems to possess the affections of the Sicilians, and will no doubt be supported by them in his claims upon the sovereignty of Naples, which be has not failed to urge upon every occasion since the late glorious changes in Europe. Letters received this morning from Liverpool of last Saturday, state, that all the vessels lately arrived there from Amelia Island, and which had not un loaded their cargoes, have been seized by order of Government, as the cargoes were thought to belong to the Citizens of America. Saturday Mr. WILLIAMS, the King's Messenger, was sent oft with dispatches abroad, by Dover. Yesterday dispatches were received front Admiral Sir &own) KRAVIS, on the Newfoundland station. Thursday, Prince WILLIAM and 4 ittCe CHARM of Bautowtca , accompanied by their Tutor, the Rev. T.

Earl BATHURST is renovered from his alight indis position, and tranuctedinniness at his Ogee on Ba. turday. In the evening the Noble Earl left town for Stanmore Priory, on ri visit to the Mavis of ABERCORN. Thursday, Colonel LAMB, of Southampton, was drowned off Bognor, Sussex. A duel took place at Barbadoes on the 14th of May, between Lieut. Ovoia, of the Royal York R and another officer. Lieut. OVENS, on the thi a r a dV, received the ball of his antagonist in the breast, and survived only two hours. The new era - , it seems, is to be signalized by making a new Saint, the preliminary measures being in pro. teas at Rome, by order of the Pori, for canonizing Louts XVI. Sunday se'nnight, the elegant new Roman Catho lic Chapel, at the head of Leith Walk, Edinburgh, was opened for public worship. The alterations and improvements in Drury-lane Thom are of that extensive nature that the interior will be entirely new, except itt the form. PASSING Evawrs.--The glorious events of this grand seen of England's triumph will long be remem bered, but by none more permanently, or with more delight, than by those who may now evince prudence and spirit enough to secure a Fortune, by the pur chase of a Ticket or Share in the Lottery, which Draws so the First of September. The period is au• spicious, and promises success. The Casimir, Captain QUILLIAII 6 arrived on Sa turday afternoon from Newfoundland. She sailed from St. John's on the Slat ult. with a convoy of 13 vessels, which parted for the Western ports.— The CHALLINOZI had arrived at St. John's, from Bourdeaux. It was his Majesty's ship Born which closed the war in the Mediterranean, when she so gallantly at tacked a French squadron, on the 13th of February last, and drove them into the very mouth of Toulon harbour, under a severe firing from several of the enemy's large batteries, as well as the squadron. The IRouvr.us, one of the enemy's 74 gun ships, had a narrow escape; nothing bat the dread of running the Bovan on shore, saved her t she was a perfect riddle in her hull, and had 180 men killed and wounded.— The CALEDONIAN came up to the assistance of the 80Y1.414 under the batteries, and gave a public signal of approbation of that ship's conduct, as well as three hearty cheers ; when she was obli ge d to w i t hd raw from battle, being within musket shot of Cape Brun batteries, and leaking very much from boles through her bottom. 1141 A mamma.

These troops could with the . greamt facility have embarked here upon their arrival; instead of which, they are now going a journey of twenty-one miles to meet the very vessels, which could have been on their passage to Germany.

The Directors of the Royal Exchange and London Assurance Corporations, in consequence of the recent captures made by American cruizers, made repre. sentations to the Lords Commissioners of the Admi ralty on Wednesday last, and yesterday received an answer, of which the following is a copy (COPY.) Admiralty-Office, August 19th. 1814. Ste—Having laid before my Lords Commissioners of the Ad miralty, the letter of the 17th ingtant, signed by you and the Secretary of the Luadon Assurance Corporation, on the subject of the depredations committed by the American privateers there in mentioned, I am commanded by their Lordships to acquaint you, that there was a force adequate to the purpcse of protecting ' the Trade, both in St. Georges Channel, and the Northern Sea, at the time referred to.—! am, &c. &c. Mr. Samuel Penning, jun. J. W. Caoaaa. Secretary to the Royal Exchange Assurance Corporation. Since Wednesday, accounts have been received that Itwo privateers captured five brigs between the Smalls and Taster; and that the York privateer, of 14 guns, and 120 men, took a ship from Miramichi to Liver pool, off Crookhaven, on the 12th inst. The Con- STANT gun-brig, which arrived at Liverpool, on Thursday, from Cork, chaced an American privateer ofTuskar the day before, but was not able to get up with her, and gave over the pursuit. We announced the arrival on Wednesday, of the RavaNce, Rear-Admiral Sir JOHN Gone, who had the command in the Adriatic, accompanied by the BOYNE, 98, Captain (now Rear-Admiral) BURLTON. These ships all left Mahon on the 29th of July.—The Mae.

These detachments have been daily embarking last week, but no other troops in that vicinity, we are informed, have yet re ceived orders for the same destination. The troop. ships are fast getting ready, in the expectation of being wanted. The 14th Regiment of Light Dra goons, at Radipole Barracks, is ordered to be com pletely re-equipped for active service. It has not many weeks returned from the Peninsula. Lord Mancn, Lord Jona Sousaser, and Cap tain Runny are appointed Aids-de-Camp to the PRINCIE of OSAMU. Thursday, the Dumfries Militia were disembodied at Dumfries. Friday and Saturday a party of the 36th regiment passed through Southampton. A party of the Royal Artillery arrived there on their route to Guernsey ; the same day the 66th regiment also arrived on their way to Bath. The Argylemilitialeft the military barracks at Gos porton Wednesday, and embarked for Scotland, there to be disembodied. The 2d battalion of the 23d Regiment stationed at Gosport, have removed from Weovil to the Military Barracks vacated by the Argyle militia.

C. WHITE ; Cyane, Captain FALCON, and Abundance, store-ships, havii.g thirty six merchantmen and transports under coneo.. The Americans have yet to boast of a superiority of vessels on the Lakes ; and they loudly threaten soon Ito coop up our troops in Kingston, on the land side. The launching of our three-deck , r floating-battery, on the Ist of September, was looked forwatd to with soma solicitude. The several vessels which were sent from Enelaad in frame, had been landed at Quebec ; but the distance being nearly 400 miles from thence to Kingston, much time would necessarily elapse be fore they could arrive there, and be put into a state for efficient service: the Americans have, obviously, infinite advantages over us as it re?ards the equip ment of their vessels on the Lakes. the aEoLus met the AJAX and WARSPITE, going to Quebec, with troops from Bourdeaux : they were at anchor at Bick, waiting for a fair wind to proceed up the river St. Lawrence. The DiostEnE and INDIAN sailed fs Quebec on the 18th of July with a convoy for Hali fax; and the CROCODILE and DAUNTLESS, to cruiz.• on the coast of Labradore : the two last-named ships were expected to bring the next convoy from Quebec. ExEcurtme.—This morning John Mitrhel, s nr for. gery ; Henry Lye and John Field, alias Jon than for house-breaking ; Mich. Marone . , and Fraud, '1" -gee, for highway robbery, and J o h n mhton, for the l; ice of fence, were executed before the Debtor's doer, in tee Old Bailey, in presence of an immense concourse r spectators, who, at an early. hour had asseneAled, : ...t had filled every space within view of the melancholy scene. They were brought forward as the chain: began to strike the eighth hour, and were conduct( .1 to the scaffold by the executioner, wh ~ after plac;ng each on the station allotted him, and having pert(); ru ed the awful task of fixing the ropes, retired, and 1 •ft them in prayer with the clergyman, during which symptoms of a perfect resignation to meet their fate, were exhibited by them, and the moment for their de parture out of this world being come, the signal was made, and they were launched into eternity. Their bodies, after being suspended the usual time, were cut down, and taken into the inner yard of Newgate, to be given to their respective friends for interment. JOHANNA SOUTHCOTE AND HER HIGH Yesterday, a fracas took place in Duke -street, W.a minster-road,,near the Obelisk, at the Chapel erected to this Visionary by voluntary subscription, which was partly ludicrous and partly serious. The Rev. Mr. Tezrr, a lath-nadir, who has long officiated as the grand minister and expounder of the doctrines and prophecies of JOOllll4l, at this shrine of delusion, hav ing been challenged to a formal conference or oin troversy for several Sund ay s, by the Rev. Mr. Cs!;: , a, a boast-closer, in the neighbourh.iod, who un.iert lc confute the tenets of the Souteicoteas - Sect, vast numbers were, for several weeks past, attracted to heat Cie profound erudition and theology expected to be dis played on both sides. Yesterday, between eleven and twelve o'clock, the boot-cheer, not qaite five l egit I.igh, took his place, as be had been accustomed for several Sundays, on a chair, in front of the Chapel, and after a solemn, but vain invocation to the Rev. Mr. Tozer, to enter the lists, proceeded to overwhelm Joanna and her followers, with his arguments. Crcw:!s attended this exhibition, and after he retired, a report became current, that the Arai:hetes: herself was in the Citap..l. This drew vast numbers in the enure . : of the d :y, until about fi ve o'clock, when the ..ste leading to the Chapel being rudely pressed, the clerk of the High Priest, who proved to be also his chonfter of toed for the lath-manufactory, rushed out and hid about him most sturdily. His cane, the instrument for chastis ing the profane, was, however, taken from him by the multitude; who, in their turn, became the assail ants, and forced their way into the holy precinct. A battle royal followed, in which, after a severe contest, the partisans of Joanna were rcuted. The Rev. "fr. Toner, at length, felt it necessary to quit th • SA nc Lu..ry. and constables having been called in, several persons were taken into custody. CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, AUG. U.
