The next step will be to propose the • intended restrictions on the authority of the Re b , ent. They will be brought forward in the shape of Reso lutions, which, if agreed to by both Houses of Parlia ment, will be presented -to the Prince of VALES, by Committees of each House, and upon his signifying his willingness to accept the important trust, a motion will be made for atithcri7ing the issuing of Letters Patent, under the Great Seal, empowering certain Commissioners to open and hold a Meeting of Par liament. The cause of the Meeting will be declared by the Commissioners to be to make a provision for the Administration of the Royal Authority during the KING'S illness. The Regency Bill will then be brought in. From the answer given last night by Mr. PERM. VAL to some questions addressed to him, relative to the restrictions to be proposed, it appears they are not to be carried to the extent at first intended. The PRINCE is Lo have the power of conferring the honour of Peerage upon persons performing splendid military or naval atchievements.

At the time of his departure nothing of importance had occurred, On the 9th instant Lord WELLINGTON WAS privately/ at Lisbon. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at tl East India House, when the following Captains se sworn into the command of their respective shipsoi Captain James Murray, of the Devonshire; Cargo J. negie, of the Bering ; and Captain bents G. Cobb, of the le Melville, for Madras and Bengal ; and J Loch, of the Clut Grant, for China direct. From Buenos Ayres some letters were yesten! delivered, dated the 26th September. They cont, the important information that Chili, Lisa, and& dependencies, had formed Juntas on the. 911 Revolutionists,and had disclaimed all the Regency of Old Spain. Letters were also received from Cargos, dai the beginning of last month, representing that irt , ment to be in a state of total disorganizatien anarchy. A counter-revolution was drily appreh ded, and many families of rank and fortune had moved with their portable effects to a situatton of 1 insecurity. The latter fact is corroborated by theJ tors from Cadiz, received the preceding slay, svh also mentioned the appointment of Et to, laUGfiver of Monte Video, to the Viceroyalty of Buenos Ay as s'lccesior to the deposed Cissanos. This nomi tine of an officer notoriously hostile to the nears of things, is by no means calculated to appease general discontent, l and will probably greatly act rate the progress of the rnollltien. By a vessel which left Dieppe on the 17th inst. have received a series of French papers to the la and we have had an interview with a Gentlema.: reached this country by the same opportunity. rt. these sources of information we learn, that Genera Tuatteau is to be rec.lled, and that General S RIMIER is to succeed him as Minister Plenipotent at Washington. The Consul General is also to ta France, and General L'Escataga is appointed • his stead. Those officers are to proceed to - the Us' States with all conveniont expedition. It has inc6rrectly stated that an American ship had eta. the ports of France destined to that country, if • from the Republic. One American had been ta , into Dieppe by a French privateer, and had been leased after the usual examination. Another had • tered 13ourcleaux from Gibraltar, and was put v. strict quarantine, but was not seized. Mr. Russet., the American Charge d'Affaires Paris, received dispatches from his Government on lath of this month, transmitted by the Essex. PIXKNEY we believe has also received comtnna Lions from Paris, which we apprehend relates only the change proposed in the Fieneh Agent iu. - tica, as the particulars obtained by the Essex had . arrived in Paris at the time when the Messenger Mr. Russet. quitted that city.

LTNGTON appears to have no alternative but that of re-I treating from his present position or hazarding a ge neral battle against superior numbers. It is reportei, hut we hope incorrectly, that Lord Bonunensn who arrived on Wednesday from Portugal, Was entrusted by Lord WELLINGTON with confiden tial communications respecting his army, the situation of which is s.lid to have been rendered rather distress-, ing ; not merely by the long continuance of unfa vourable winds, which had deprived them of the usual supplies from England, but . by the positions of the enemy, which made it a certainty that no military operations would occur for a ruinous length of time. The same report states that Lord BURGHERSH ascribes the retreat of General GARDANNE to false information which he had received of the force of the Allies, which threw him into a panic, and made him Ay with the utmost precipitation. The account of the defeat of General BLAKE by SCBASTIANI is, we are sorry to say, confirmed by the letters received from Cadiz. This event occurred before the latter joined the army before Cadiz. A private letter from Lisbon states as follows There are in the Tagus 14. sail of the line, besides frigates. Lord WELLINGTON is fortifying the south banks of Ole Tagus very strongly, so that in case MASSENA should force our lines, these may be enabled to play upon him, and that the seamen and marines frt,rn the Fleet are to man them." We were prevented yesterday by the length of the debate in the House of Lords from noticing the ar rival of a Bag from Anholt, with intelligence from various pot ts of the Baltic. The accounts by this fonveyance, as for wile ume ra,t, are of a gloomy character, and mention a number of confiscations. Ac cording to one of the letters, three American vessels, bound direct from the United States to Revd, had been put under sequestration. It has been it.timated that the Cron of St. Peters-, burgh had acceded entirely to theContinentalSyAent, ' lend that in consequence orders were expected at the ports et Russia for the soizitre and sale of British Enerchaediv.e, and for the augmentation of the ditties on Colonial produce. No such measures, however, I ad been a..!ttpted at the time of the departure of tLe letters from the Eastern Baltic. The advices by the same opportunity from Frank . *ln arc to the Sd, and from Hamburgh to the' 13th instant. At the former place the Decree of Ram bouitlet had not been canted into - execution with the leverity that was expected ; but at the latter, seyenty thousand pounds of yarn, worth about five shillings per pound, had been publicly burnt. The restrictions (m the sale of colonial produce are triken off in Bavaria and throughout S witzerland. • ,By a Decree published at Hamburgh, the colonial ped:. seireti at sea-ports in the North of Europe, are :15 be carried op' the country to Cologne, there to re . em depli Wail final confiscation. ' , SHEERNESS, DECEMBER 27. • Such has been the state of the weather since yes terday, that little communication can be had with the shipping ; several vessels have drove, but no particular injury done, except that a fine ship (supposed aWest- Indianian) has run ashore on the Shoebury-point ; but it blows so hard that little or no assiqance eau yet be rendered her, or her name ascertained.
