c alled to the post by public opinion. It appears that the General enjoys the confidence of the troops. Spain appears to be suffering severely in her com mercial interests, from the prohibitor system which the Cortes introduced, in their infancy of legislation, with the vain hope, as the event has proved, of en couraging, and obtaining, the preference to native productions. It has given rise.to a contraband trade, chiefly through the medium of Gibraltar, to so extra ordinary an extent, that the usual channels , for com merce-are abandoned. This is more particularly the case in the southern ports of Spain, from whence complaints and appli cations for redress are transmitted in great numbers to the capital. Meantime Associations have been formed in several Districts to put down the illegal traffic by force, and to punish those by whom it is con-. ducted. The temptation of large profits, however, is likely to render their efforts :neffectual, until they are s econded by the abandonment, or relaxation, on the part of the Government, of this prohibitor' system. " French 5 per Cents. Monday, 86 fr. 95 c. It is affirmed that Sir HUDSON Lowe's orders from G ov ernment are, that he shell bring home the body of BONAPARTE in the largest ship of the line on the s•ation. It is .aid that these orders are pointed and imperatis e this account he true, the -report of hig hav'ing desired, in his will, to be interred in St. He ena, is not correct of course. Whatever his wishe. may have been on this point, we have no doubt they will be strictly fulfilled. Every due honour will be paid to his remains ; and, as an inexorable policy compelled the Briti•.l Government to treat him, when alive and in their power, with a rigour entirely foreign to their character, they will act with their customary eite rosity now that the death of this singular man has released them from the paintul duty, which circum stances, utterly unforeseen, had laid upon them. • A Dutch Mail arrived at a late hour this forenoon, with Papers to the eed inst. An important law, in troducing a new system of Indiect Taxes, has passed the Second Chamber of the States General. Extract of a letter from New Orleans, dated May 2 " The United States schooner Nonsuch ,:.rived here yesterday, from Jamaica and Ilavannah, with j about 60,000 dollars in specie. Accounts from Old' Providence mention that Lafitte had been brought there prisoner by the crew of his large schooner, who bad risen and taken the command of the vessel. The Nonsuch found at sea a satl.boat with sir French sailors on board, who delivered themselves up and have been brought in : they state they formed a part of the crew of the armed schooner Esperanza, sailing under some of the Patriot flags. They left the Esperanza at Grand Cayana: she had captured about seven vessels in her last cruize, some of them with slaves from Africa. The Esperanza originally mounted three guns, but afterwards increased her armament to seven: her crew about 25 in number." Yesterday Viscount StomouTH and the Right Hon. Sir THOMAS MAITLAND had audiences of the KING, at his Palace, in Pall-Mall. Yesterday the Duchess of GLOUCESTER, the Prin cess AUGUSTA. and the Duchess of KENT, visited the Duchess of CLARENCE. - - - Wednesday night Prince LEOPOLD left town far Claremont. The Duchess of GLOUCESTER and the Princess AUGUSTA rode out together yesterday, in a carriage. The Marchioness of SALISBURY'S Whist Party on Monday evening, was attended by upwards of 200 distinguished Fashionables. The preparations in Westminster Hall for the Coro nation, are proceeding with all possible dispatch. Great numbers of Ladies and Gentlemen were admit ted yesterday through the polite and obliging atten tion of the Lord Great Chamberlain, and the neigh bourhood presented a scene of bustle and gaiety. Much to the honour of the worthy Chief Magistrate of Exeter, he has suggested that instead of au Illu mination in that city, on • he evening of his MAJESTY'S Coronation, the Poor should be regaled by parochial subscriptions, to whi. h he o ill readily lend his sanc tion and support. Surely the hand of Charity can not be more nobly engaged than when united with loyalty and attachment towards our gracious Sove reign, upon the celebration of so important and solemn a ceremony. It should be a day of general festivity : the poor and the rich must rejoice together. Amateurs of the Fine Arts are now eagerly put , chasing Tickets in TOSIKINS'S PICTURE LOTTERY, in tonsequel•ce of the neat approach of its Drawing; and in order to be cure of a Prize, they buy both a Red and a Black Ticket, as one of these colours are to be all Prizes. The re_pOrt which we gave of what fell from the Earl of LAUDERDALE, in the House of Lords, on Wednesday night, on the presentation of certain Peti tions in favour of the Bill for Preventing .Cruelty to Animals, was, we are informed, erroneous in one par ticular. His Lordship could not have 44 objected that 'the Bill to which they referred was only in tended to prevent cruelty to horses," for the very first Words of the Bill are— " whereas it is expedient to prevent the cruel and improper treatment of horses, mares, geldings, mules, asses, cows, heifers, steers, oxen, sheep, and other cattle."

At half-past ten o'clock this morning her MA JESTY'S Counsel resumed their arguments in support of the legal right of the QUEEN to enjoy the solemni zation of the Coronation, according to the immemo rial usage of the Queens of England. The Council was rather fuller than yesterday, the room was crowded to excess, and many distinguished Mem bers of the Council were obliged to stand. There 'were present, the LORD CHANCELLOR,. the Dukes of WELLINGTON and MONTROsE; the Marquisses CAM- DEN, HERTFORD, CHOLMONDELEY, and LONDON DERRY; the Earls Of HA RROWBY, BA THDRST, LIVER- POOL, WESTMORELAND, and LAUDERDALE; Lords SIDMOUTH, MELVILLE. YARMOUTH, MONMOUTH, ST. HELENS, BINNING, and several others. Among the Members of the Commons present were, Sir JAMES MACKINToSII, Mr. TIERNEY, Mr. MUGGE BATHURST, Mr. WELLESLEY POLE, Mr. FltrsicrssoN, Nfr, ARBUTHW.T, Mr. WYNNE, Sir GEORGE HILL, &c. The three Chief Judges who attended yester- day, the King's ATTORNEY and SOLICITOR-GENERAL, and several King's Counsel, were likewise present, tlgether with the Gentlemen of her MAJESTY'S Counsel, not immediately engaged in conducting her tne , ent case. The rosh, when the doors were opened, was tremendous, and a strong bar, which was placed at the end of the room, was nearly overturned by the pressure. Mr. BROUGHAM resumed his argument where he left off yesterday. He said, that he had stated from the most conclusive authority, namely, the recorded facts of history, that no King, he being married at the time of his coronation, had ever been crowned ithout his Con%ort participating in that ceremony. Ite latl out of his jeller.il proposition the case of Henrietta Maria, the wife of Charles the First, for the reasons he gave yeSterday. That case had been, he (Mr. Brougham) thought, sufficiently explained. Supposing even that it were the case (which it was not) that :here haJ occurred some two or three in- stances in which there was no proof of the Queen being crowned with the King, he being married at the time of his Coronation, still he should contend that, according to all the rules of probability, of reason, and law.. all judicial tribunals would, in the absence of that paiticular proof in the few cases, adopt the general presumption, that the practice had been observed in the few as in the many, and con clude that the want of proof in two cases out of a hundred, if such they were, did not invalidate the uniform and general usage. His argument then was, _ _ that 'there was no instance of the right being claimed and refused; there had never, if even it could be proved that the right was refused, been an acquies cence, or an adjudication by competent authority.— He as here referring to mere omissions—not to resignation of use, or not claiming. If he then could shew, that in ninety-nine cases out of one hundred the right liad, in fact, been used, it was then in vain to argue, against his asserted right, that he had failed to prove it in the whole of the hundred cases ; for surely everything was to be presumed in his favour from the great number of instances covered by his proof. It would be otherwise, indeed, if his opponents, whoever they may be. could prove one case of real waiver of the claim, or one case of re fusal acquiesced in, or still more, if they could establish one adjudication to the contrary ; but when there was not a single exception—when there was not a single case at the other side, and where the mere omission, in the one case ont of the hundred, was one of mere doubt—an admission given for the sake of an admission, and not as a concession yield ing to the test of proof—when all this was the case, he had a right to assume that the practice for which he contended had been uniform and undeviating; and more strong still was his case, when he fully and satisfactorily explained the reasons for the omission in the particular instances where this had occurred. —He must again repeat, and press upon their Lord ships' attention, that he had shewn in every instance where a King was married at the time of his Coro nation, both before and since the Revolution, he had had his Consort crowned with him, except in the case of the Queen of King Charles the First. That case, he repeated, he bad abundantly explained.— He relied then most confidently, that the omissions came within the limits of the' general propositions with which he had set out; that they were within the rules which governed the legal admission of rights, founded upon usage in the Courts of Law, and in which Judges and Juries bad from time im memorial acquiesced. These rules, in the ordi nary practice of law, when brought to bear upon the two cases to which they were most applied, namely, right of way, and right founded upon possession, were only required to be carried as far as the memory of living witnesses, but in this case he went further, for he shewed a long course of exercise of the right he claimed ; he had shewed that in no instance had it been laid aside. Where the omissions to use it had occurred, he trusted that he had clearly explained the reason why they had been abstained horn ; but even had he not done so, abstinence from proof of a right in a pat ticular in stance, did not go to establish the non-existence of that ti ,;ht; even a waiver of a right in a particular il;stance did not affect the general existence of the i ;Oa, unless where that waiver was repeated and apparently adopted. There was ao such thing sere, for he had distinctly proved that 'each indi vidual King who was married at the time of his Coronation, had been crowned with his Owen. — Admitting, then (which he was not called to do, though he was ready to concede the admission), that Charles the First's Queen had not been csowned, still the uniform tenor of his preceients justified his le gally assuming the existence of the right, upon grounds which no Court of Law could for one mo ment disturb. There were, Mr. Brougham said, three stages in which facts, arising from a right founded upon immemorial usage, must be considered : there was, first, the uniform enjoyment; next, where the asserted right was contested, but nevertheless en joyed, this latter stage was better for the right than the first ; the third stage was where the tight claimed was resisted, and successfully, so- as to be stopped by an adjudication refusing the right, and legally commanding public acquiescence. This last stage was, of course, conclusive. Apply these principles here, — There was, as he had shewn in the first place, a uni form series of the Coronations of Queens—so much so as to establish the fact of uniform enjoyment. There was, secondly, in the case of Prince Henry (Henry the Second), where the Princess was not crowned with him, but where, so far from acquies cing in her exclusion, her father, Louis of France, protested against the indignity, declared war against Henry, and compelled him to crown the Queen at Winchester with all the pomp belonging to such a solemnity ; the other case where the delay took place, the King being married at his Coronation, was that of Henry the Seventh. Now so far from that being acquiesced in, they found it complained of by the People; and, in the words of Margaret of Burgundy, as an occurrence, of which the like had not been seen since the Conquest. Mr. BROUGHAM, at au advanced hour of the day, was proceeding to quote from the Red Book of the Ex chequer, the Close Roll at the Tower, and the Liber Regalls, several instances in which the ceremony for the Queen was set down distinct and apart from that of the King ; from which we left him inferring that it was a substantive and independent ceremonial. The KING received a visit yesterday from the Prin cess AUGUSTA. Ministers, in pursuance of the economy that they have resolved to enforce, have sent instructions for withdrawing the military guards employed in Scot land, in certain situations, as watchmen.

DENoN was once expatiating to BoNA PARTE on the merits of a picture, and happened to drop the word immortal—.. Ilow lolls," interrupted BONAPARTE, " may a picture last? —" About six hundred years!" . " Bah I " cried he, " there's a fine immortality !" The following is an extract of a letter which bas been received froth Hamburg!) ; it will be read with interest at the present moment, but of its authenti city we have great doubts: "Sr. Hirt.m., Ann. 28. " In the latter end of January, Bonaparte trans mitted a complaint, through Count Montholon, of a want of money, arising from a cessation of his usual remittances. To prevent in future this disagreeable circumstance, without imposing upon himself the ne cessity of ac'tepting those supplies which were of fered him through the commercial house of B. and H. without his knowing who gave the command to this house for the advance, or from whom it received the money, he ordered it to be proposed to the Go- vernor, to advance him monthly five hundred pounds, which the Duke of Leuchtenberg would repay to the English Government through Mr. Baring. He desired at the same time, that instead of the two Priests living with him, and instead of Dr. Antoma chi, Counts Bertrand and Month°lon he should a supplied with other society. As his family lived in Italy, and could not well judge what kind of men would be agreeable to him, he left the selection of them to the King of France, and to those of the King's Ministers who had formerly served under him, and knew his habits and wants—such as MM. Pasquier, Segur, Daru, and Latour-Maubourg, or M. de Cazes, who had been his own and his mother's Private Se cretary. With regard to a Priest, he desired a man of knowledge and experience, a learned Divine, capa ble of discussing religious subjects, able to answer his questions, to resolve his doubts, and to instruct him in the sacred Scriptures—a man of between 40 and 50 years of age, and a well-grounded scholar.— Although,' said he, I feel my strength decaying,' I am not yet so prostrate as to take refuge in spiritual remedies. But when this happens, I must have another spiritual guide besides the two who , at present attend me, one of whom has not yet shaken off the dust o f ! the schools. Voltaire him self, in the view of death, threw himself into the arms of religion ; and who knows but I may ac quire a taste for the subject, and become pious ?'— As physician, he wished a man like Courvoisier ; but he declared that he would receive with confidence any one selected for him by Bourdois, Eymery, Larrey, Dubois, or Desgenettes. —Of those who were to come in room of Counts Bertnuid and Monthol on, he required one to be a General (the most agreeable to him was Drouet), but in no case an Officer who had served against him. The other might be either a secular person or cidevant Priest ; but in all cases one of his formed Council or Chamberlains—a man of education and talents—such as Caulincourt, I Savary, Segur, Montesquieu, Darce, DrOuet, Turenne, Denon, or Arnault. The aforementioned money ar rangement was taken by the Governor.' Some time afterwards Bonaparte said, that the Priest who was to be sent to him must be one who adhered to the Concordat of 18102, such as M. Duvoisier,late Bishop of Nantes.'' THE. ARMY.

Fata.—This being the first Friday in July, and the day on which Fairlop Fair, ea Epi.ing F,rest, is kept, at an early hour this morning ever y prepa ration was made, by John Bull and his iait,ily, to enjoy it. The line of march was crowded ‘s ith every description of vehicle, from the pea-cart to the barouche and four. A number of furniture caravans had a very pleasing appearance, being literally moving groves, in which were a number of well-dressed persons of both sexes, accompanied with music, &c. From the judicious arrangements made by the Lord of the Ma nor (Sir EDWARD Hutse), in conjunction m ith the Magistracy of the County, it is expected that the rural fete will terminate without any of those unplea• sant circumstances, which have lately attended fairs near town. Rain—Thursday sennight, Mr. Kum the aquatic pedestrian, exhibited no the river Cart, at Paisley, in presence of a vast crowd of spectators. He had advertised to set off at one o'clock in the afternoon, but just before he proceeded, an alarm of fire got up among the multitude, and the smoke from burning instantly be came visible. The ire was in a tenement in Smithbill-street, which went on with such violence, that in a short time the pre mises were destroyed, besides a g ood deal of private property. No fewer than twelve families were burnt out; and such was the rapidity of the flames, taut, in four or five instances, the in mates were obliged to leave their possessions without saving an article of household goods. In one lodging, the family being out, a watch-dog, a cat, and a bird in a cage, were consumed, besides every article of furniture and wearing apparel. There was, somehow, a delay in bringing the fire-engines to the spot, and, before their arrival, serious apprehensions were entertained for the safety of the houses in the neighbourhood; and, in fact, several were on fire, but luckily put out without much damage. The detachment of the 41st Regiment stationed in Paisley, and the sth Dragoon Guards, were very active in preserving order and attempting to extinguish the fire. The whole was uninsured, and therefore the less must fall heavy on individuals. The pro prietor of the tenement abovementioned, worn out with fatigue and vexation, was next night sleeping in the house of a friend, and on being awakened by the drums of the 41st Re3iment, about to leave the town at four o'clock in the morning, he threw himself from a three-story window, by which both his arms were broken, one of them in two places, and he was otherwise much hurt. He was carried to the House of Recovery, where hopes were entertained of his doing well. Tauso, June 2.—Jeins Borrows was brought up on a cona plaint made against him by Mr. Joux Bao . :., of Goolern, near Truro, for having brutally pulled the tongue out of one of his horses, and foe having threatened to murder a person belong ing to the family of Mr. Bacons, in consequence of his charging him with having committed this savage act. The prisoner had the charge of Mr. Bitowe's husbandry horses, and on the 20th inst. being ploughing, the Lcrse in euestion not working as he wished, he began to beat the animal, which became restive. On this he thrust his hand into its mouth, and laid hold on the tongue; the horse reared, and the ruffian still bolding the tonsils with all his force, it was torn from the roots by the suddenness of the plunge. he savage.tbrew away the tongue, and threat ened to injure the boy that drove the horses if he told his max ter. The poor animal was compelled to work for several days in this condition; but it was at length obrerved to be ill, and on being examined, the injury it had sustained was discovered.— The prisoner was charged with the act, but denied it; and do. mantling his wages, Mr. BROWN refused to pay him, when h• left the house in a rage, and swore that he would murder the first of the family that came in his way. Mr. Blows Appetit to a Magistrate and bad him taken into custody. The prissiest' • was ordered to find sureties for his keeping the peace ; — the in jury inflicted on the horse not being cognizable as a criminal act, he can only be sued for the value of that horse.
