It is confidently asserted, that the Courier which Arrived a few days ago to Mr. Desaugiers, broitight the necessary powers from the Emperor Napoleon for concluding a marriage treaty between the daugh ter of Lucien Bonaparte and the deceased CroWn Prince; as yet it is impossible to say who will be c hosen in place of the latter, though opinions are in favour of the Duke of Oldenburg. Private letters from St. Petersburgh, state the pos sibility of a change in the Russian Cabinet, which m ay in its consequence affect the good understand ilig at present subsisting between it and the Frencb Government. Morriteurs to the 12th came to hand this morning ; but they add little, however, to the accounts we gave from the Papers received yesterday. The grand Fete given on the 10th instant by the City of Paris to their IMPRRIAL MAJESTIRS WRS nearly an exact counterpart of the fete which took place on the 2d April. Horse-races, lotteries, concerts, balls, and fire-works, were again the leading spectacles and amusements of the day. The decoration which screened the apparatus of the grand fire-works on the Quay Napoleon evinced much ingenuity. It repre sented a mountain, the base of which was skirted with rocks, and armed with two bastions, to exhibit the aspect of military work. Higher up was the Temple of Glory, shaded by oaks and laurels ; and on the top, amidst a bower of myrtles and rose-trees, was the Temple of Hymen, the ways leading to which was strewed with flowers. A Ship, the old emblem of the City of Paris, also formed a part of these decorations. A Decree has been issued by our Government pitllibiting the importation of colonial produce into Sualsund under any flag whatsoever ; this measure, it is probable, may be extended to all the ports of Sweden. The meeting of the Diet is fixed for the 16th of July. _ The Fete to be given by the Princess PAULINE is deferred till the 14th. On the .sth instant the following notice was pub lished at Brussels : " Mr. BURK?, an English Gentleman, has broke his parole, and has been n ..ng for several days. " General Cuamaa Lao" is in consequence under the neces sity of cbliging all the English who are on their parole here, to present themselves until further orders the first day of every month, at the office of the Etat Major, there to inscribe their names. " "Those who fail to conform to this regulation will be delivered over to the gendarmerie, and escorted by them to the prisons of Valenciennes. (Signed) " P. E. Pawner, " Chief of the Staff of the 24th Military Division."

The enemy had some time previously to falling in with the Jenny, attempted to capture another English merchantman, but was compelled by the gal lantry of his adversary, to relinquish the contest—be, however, had made another capture of the Spanish Lady, from Norfolk, CUNNINGHAM, which the STIIILLE frigate, Captain UPTON, afterwards recaptured.—The Retiree, of Belfast, has reached Long Island Channel, near Crook Haven harbour, having been redeemed by a gallant effort of her crew, from the possession of a very superior number of Frer.ch sailors, belonging to a French privateer, that had captured her a short time before.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM COPENHAGEN', MAY 24.. ~ It is said that an English flag of truce arrived a short time ago at Gottenb❑rgh, and demanded, in t: e nam= of its Government, the cession of Goth. :0, and the placing of the Swedish fleet in the !Inds of England. Our coast swarms with enemy's s: . .ips of war and merchant ships. An infinite nunl ler of privateers cruize near Lolland : they have al ready made many captures. On the night of the 24th we saw a fleet consisting of from 200 to 300 vessels pass Prodbye ; they came from the east, and directed their course westward. They write from Coaxer, that in addition to the vessels which have seen at anchor there for some time past, there have strived five others, one of which bears a Rear. Admiral's flag, one brig, and a cutter. Three ship. of war, coming from the South, came to anchor the 23d of this month near Westnerges ; shortly after a convoy of 100 sail arrived, and joined them." P. TRACT OF A LETTER FROM GOTTENBUROH, MAY 28. " An Estafette arrived here last night bringing an 'rder not to allow any ships but those coming direct from America, and whose cargoes shall consist only of colonial produce, to enter this port. Orders are likewise given strictly to search the ships. This order is even applicable in respect to the cargoes they take in foreign countries." The Officers of His Majesty's ship CONPIANCE have each of them lately been presented with elegant swords by the PORTUGUESE A staassaort, for their meritorious conduct hi capturing the Island of Cayenne. Lord HAWKE is so ill, that only very few friends are allowed to see him, and even this has been thought too much by the attending Physicians. On Thursday a public Meeting of the Corporation and principal Inhabitants of the town of Lancaster was held at the Town Hall (the Mayor in the Chair), to take into consideration the late proceedings in London and Middlesex, when several Resolutions were agreed to, disapprovin of them. On tl question of Parliamentary Reform, they express them selves to have a firm reliance, that the House of Com mons will of themselves adopt such salutary amend ments as the changes of time and place may render proper and necessary. Sr. DUNSTAN'S, IN TUE Wxsr.—A Meeting of the Parishioners was held yesterday, in the Inquest Room, for the purpose of discussing the Counter-declaration of that Parish, drawn up by the Rector. The ad mission of the inhabitants of the Liberty of the Rolls, which is within that Parish, was for some time re sisted ; but the Churchwardens at last decided in fa vour of their admissibility. Mr. HARPER objected to proceeding with the business, after the admission of these individuals—contending, that those who were thus admitted, were avowedly hostile to the Counter declaration, and that the Liberty of the Rolls was not in the parish. Mr. QUIN addressed the Meeting, and protested against the union of the spiritual and tem poral functions. The Reverend Rector stated, that he was ready to defend himself when a Meeting should be properly convened. Mr. Et:worms said, that as many of the inhabitants of the Liberty of the Rolls were absent, in consequence of conceiving that they hod no right to be present, he submitted the pro priety of adjourning the Meeting, to which, Mr. QUIN assenting, the Meeting was adjourned. BREAD.—This day there being no Court of Alder men, the LORD MAYOR, after inspecting the returns, ordered it to continue at present prices. We are happy to hear from many parts of the country, and those of the principal corn districts, that, though there has been so little rain in the neigh bourhood of the metropolis, heavy showers have fallen, and the crops have been much improved in consequence. An express from a commercial house at Ostend reached town yesterday • the intelligence which it brought is dated the 15th inst. and announces BONA PARTE'S final determination not to grant any more licences for the exportation of grain from any of the ports of France, to those of the United Kingdom.— It is stated that a Decree was issued at Pat is, on the 13th, peremptorily prohibiting any further exports of grain, and that in consequence, vessels which had been laden and about to sail, were not permitted to proceed to sea. It does not appear that this order has been made in consequence of wheat having ad vanced on the coast to the limited Maximum, but on account of the British Government refusing to receive e have inserred in the preceding columns some' brandies and wines. It has been further stated, that - ree'r , ....g accounts froth Portugal, received b ' the Order is not confined to Fiance, but is to extend A ma il . y t he A French Officer, hearing the cross of the to the ports of her allies.

The corps collected there consists of a great trt of the royal guards,ten regiments of infantry,and vo of cavalry. Every thing necessary for a siege, and •-n - ilpaign in the field, is collected in Calabria. THE ARMY. Sunday morning General RONALD FERousow and Major-General COCKBURN sailed from Portsmouth in the LIVELY frigate, Captain M`KINLEY.—We may expect every thing at Cadiz, with Generals GRAHAM, FEHotmos and STEWART, brother of Lord GALLOWAY. The Royal South Lincoln Militia has removed from Hythe to Chelmsford. The Hereford Regiment of Militia has marched into Islington. Several other Regiments are collect hig around the metropolis, where they will probably continue until after the rising of Parliament. The 3d Regiment of Light Dragoons arrived near the metropolis this morning, from Guildford and Go dalming, in Surrey. They are quartered in Saint George's Fields, at Fulham, and at Wandsworth. The 2d Battalion of the Sth Regiment has been ordered to embark from Jersey for Portsmouth. The new reinforcements of troops for our army in Portugal are to embark at Falmouth ; ten light trans ports that were waiting for them at Plymouth, sailed on Sunday evening, under convoy of the INTELLIGENT gun-brig, for Falmouth. The Amazox frigate sailed at the same time from Plymouth, with arms and am munition for Corunna. In consequence of an official communication from the Secretary of State to the Lords Lieutenant of' Counties in Scotland, the raising of men for the Scotch Militia by beat of drum is to cease from and after the 30th instant, and the ballot is exclusively to be resorted to for the supply of deficiencies. Colonel GouLD's fine regiment, the Nottingham Militia, has gone to Plymouth. The departure of this regiment from Salisbury was regretted by all classes of the inhabitants. Thursday the Stirling Regiment of Militia disem-i barked at Ramsgate and Margate from Edinburgh. They came in five armed smacks. Saturday the 42d Regiment marched into Rams gate for the purpose of embarking for Scotland. The Perthshire Militia embarked on Saturday at Ramsgate, for Leith, on board the same vessels which brought the Stirling Militia. Lord ROSSLYN'S regiment, the 9th Dragoons, has now nearly recovered from the Walcheren fever, and is quartered at Exeter, where they are great favourites. The 18th, or Royal Irish Regiment, are fast re cruiting their numbers, and in quarters at Otterey, in Devonshire. Lord PAGET'S regiment, the 7th Dragoons, will ! immediately embark at Liverpool for Ireland, from whence the Marquis of LOTHIAN'S regiment, the' 11th Light Dragoons, come fa this country, and, with some other cavalry regiments, will probably be soon sent to Lord WELLINGTON'S army in Portugal. The Carabineers will do the cavalry duty in Scot land, and from thence be sent to Ireland to relieve the Scotch Greys, who will most probably be sent cn fo reign service. Under the immediate eye of General Vvsa, the Duke 01 RICHMOND'S regiment, the 35th, is fast re cruiting its numbers in Yorkshire. The North and South Hants Regiments of Militia are about to exchange quarters in Devonshire. The 2d battalion of the Old Buffs begins to muster strong at Buryhead, in Devonshire ; as does General Frrzaov's regiment, the 2cl battalion 34th, in Beverly, Yorkshire. _ _ The 26th and 27111 Regiments have sailed for Jer-' sey, to be completed in discipine under the eye of that excellent Cormr:ander General Dow. The Oxford Militia is stationed at Bognor Rocks during the buy of the Princess of W ALIA there. Li niinLiCiNck •IN • SECONDARY'S OFFICE; JUNE 16. unite:3 V. ittlizAitD, CLERK. • . Judgthen' t having gone by default in this cause, the danages;fere assessed yeiterday before the Sec6ndary. The defendant lives at Shepperton, in Middlesex, :Ind is Rector of that Parish. In the course of last year the plaintiff, who is now acting as a Deputy Com missary in Portugal, being then in this country, and under orders to proceed to the Island of Walcheren with the late expedition, sent his charger to grass in Kempton-park ; the horse cost him 70 guineas. It ap. peared that the defendant had also a horse in the same park. In the middle of August, Mr. Hubbard sent his servant for his horse ; but, instead of taking him, he took the charger belonging to the plaintiff.-- The next day the horse was sent to the farriers to be shod ; but the farrier on examining the horse disco vered it was not the defendant's, for his horse had a white mark on its face, which the horse sent t him had not. Notwithstanding the defendant persevered in retaining the horse, and directed the servants to trim him. He continued to work him, and whcn_ riding out with his servant, 'would often ask if the horse was injured ? and was always answered in the. negative. After some time he sent the horse into the field to plough, and continued using him till he be came quite weak, and unfit for service. The Counsel for the plaintiff descanted at greAt length upon the impropriety of the defendant's ton duct, and produced several witnesses to prove the taking of the horse from the Park, and the subse• quent ill treatment. Mr. ADOLPHUS, on the part of the defendant, ar lOted no claim had been made, and that if there had been, the horse would have been given up.— Verdi; t 70 gttitaits. COURT OT KING'S BENCH, JUNE it. iEHUCTION.-SUTTON V. STEPHENS.. Mr. GARROW, on the part of the Plaintiff, stated that this was an action brought to recover damages for an injury of the most serious nature that could be inflicted on a parent. It was to recover cempepsation for the seduction and eonsequeiic loss of service of a daughter. The plaintiff had fortnelly been a . grocer, at Southampton, but failing in trade, and had for some time had the management of a large conceit) in that line at Portsmouth; his family, comisting of his wife and six children, did not, however, reside with him, they lived at Havant, near Portsmouth, at which place the defendant, an attorney, also re- sided ; here the young woman, the object of the pre sent action, who is the eldest daughter of the plain tiff, managed the whole concern of the family, be sides which, she kept a school, for the instruction of female children, the pro fi ts of which were appropri ated towards the support of the family ; thus were they living in an honourable, though humble state, till their peace was broken in upon by the defendant. He understood it was to be stated on the other side, that the defendant was not the author of this nth. chief, but that the young woman had been wanton on former occasions. lie would call her, when, from her statement, he had no doubt, but this would be found a false suggestion, only tending to add in sult to injury. Mary Sutton was then called.—She stated that she resided with her mother, who is in ill health, at Ha vant ; she kept a school and did the work of die house : she first became acquainted with the defen dant in June last, when he met her one evening oa the road and entered into conversation with h ; their acquaintance continued till the beginn n; of July, when he met her as she was going one evening by herself to meet her sisters, they walked to a lane in the neighbourhood of the town, when, under pre tence of ,wing her a beautiful prospect, he per suaded her to turn out of the road into a field, when he accomplished his purpose. She had since been delivered of a child, And the expences attending that circumstance and the support of the child since had been defrayed by her father. Cross-examined by Mr. JEKYLL.—She was about 21 years of age; from first meeting the defendant to' the time of her being seduced by him, the had met him several times ; he used to pass by the house and make a signal to her to follow him; generally about eight o'clock in the evening ; they always walked to the lane,. She had never met a person named Long croft in a hovel ; she knew him very well ; he was clerk to the defendant ; she was acquainted with him between three and four years ; he was to have mar ried her ; she never did say she was with child by him ; he had frequently taken trifling liberties with her. Question by the Cotner—Did Longcroft, after being indulged in those trifling liberties you have stated, never proceed further ?—Ans. No ; - be might, perhaps, but he intended to marry me. Ann Torgood lived in the plaintiff's family as ser vant eighteen years ; never saw any other than mo dest conduct in the last witness ; she nursed her in her lying-in, and believed the expences attending iit were defrayed by the father. Mr. Sylyard had known the plaintiff and his fa mily for eighteen years ; the conduct of the Baugh. ter had so far, as came within his knowledge, been perfectly correct ; but he had heard it reported, she was too much inclined to give her company to young men. Mr. JEKYLL rose to address the Jury on the part of the defenda it, but was interrupted by Lord ELLEK. BOROUGH, ssho observed, if the feeling of the Jury agreed with his, there would be no necessity to go further, all that could be proved in this case had been proved, namely, the loss of the service of the young woman to the father, and the birth of the child; foe. the expences to which the father had been made fia ble, and the further injury he had sustained, the Jury would make 'aim such et compensation as they thought right. The Jury, after a short consultation, found a Ver• diet for the plaintiff—Damages £5O. Lord ELLINIOROUGH expressed his hopes that no more actions of this description would come from the country. They were traps for excessive damages.— The present was one of a most shameful sort; be was sorry for the father ; but, in his opinion, the I damage sustained by the daughter's person did not amount to a shilling.
