Eard, the KtNo has issued a Proclamation, prohihit jug all a•semhlages of more than ten persons in one )lace, under the penalty of being regarded ws sedi 'ous, and punished as such. His t4AJEsIY, on the 1 ,41,t of the disturbances, conducted himself with g%4: coolness and resolution ; he immediately mounted ;;; lit sebilck, rode to the barracks, and after making nece%sary arrangements for calling out the mili.

MAJESTY, with the aid of the civil power alone, The Diet has since then pronounced its determi mtion on the subject, which has been the cause of 111 this agitation. At a sitting on the 2cl instant, the quotion being put agreeably to the King's ultimate Requisition, whether they would accept or not, the plan of Constitution such as it had been preserved to i!trii, it was decided ritgailvely by a majority of 67 'les to 4`2, and a Committee of eight Members ap rimed to prepare au address of remonstrance to his %ijrsty on the stAject. Our Readers are aware of the previous declaration of the King, that if the ;aces did not accept this Constitution within eight Zays, they should not have any Constitution at all; Ind it now remains to be seen how far he will adhere to this resolution. The blame of this difference, as we have before ea rn sed, is undoubtedly to be attributed, in the first i^.itince, to the narrow and antiquated prejudices— 'e partial and selfish views which have governed the Members at the Diet. But at the same time we can. r allow, that because the Diet are thus insensible to .eir true interests, or slow in the adjustment of them, , s MAJESTY is therefore entitled to discipline them in the brief and peremptory way he is attempting. It :to be remembered, after all, that as representatives of the people, it is their own interests, mure than those of his Majesty, which they have to adjust ; and to whatever can be said in disparagement of the view they take of them, this - at least may be answered, that if they do judge ill, they judge as all people bare I:ight to do—for themselves. French Funds, June 9, 66 1. 20 e. WIRTEMBERG. The following proceedings in the State of Wir temberg, in the Sitting of the 2J June, are of coasi getable importance : " STUTGAKTI, JUNE 4. " THE SITTING OF THE STATES. JUNE 2. " The Patuct Pavlova opened the Sittings by a speech, in which, referring to the last proposition, he called the attention of the States to the high impor true of the present moment, and required them t art, as they had hitherto dine, according to their restriction, the voice of their consciertce, the duties they owed to GOD, their good King, their country, and their honout. • "You are Germans, (said hr in conclusion) : proud of this immutable title, you will know how to decide in a manner con. formable to your national character, which bas always been dis t:noshed by in inviolable fititliti towarils your Sovereign, by sa enlightened love to your country, by your loyalty, and a pru dent Grammy In the principlas of just right, and by your opinions wpported nu a sincere conviction. May Heaver' biers your eons, and grant them the happy Issue so generally desired, and so rectssary in the actual state of things. May every thing turn ant to the satisfaction of the Kin and the welfare of your na tive taw. "The conclusion of this discourse was heard with ranch emotion. " The Assembly then passed to the principal ob itit of the Sitting; and after having declared that it was scarcely possible to enter upon discussion, Considering the instructions given, the Vice-President put to the vote the following question 44 Will the Assembly accept or not the Project of the Constitu !too, such as it is, with the modifications announced In the supplement to the Royal reser ipt of the 26th of May, and in conformity with the same rescript rhis queation was decided in the negative, by a soapi l y of 67 Votes against 42 ; and a Committee, coLnsting of eightNembeis, was appointed to draw IP an Address to the King on this subject. This committee was instructed, at the same time, to dis cuss the question regarding the manner in which the beslaration reserved by the minority might be added to the Address. " The Count of Scliaesberg baying declared be forehand, that if he were appointed a'Nember of that Committer, which was indeed the case, he could not perform his duty. owing to a journey which he was a6out to undertake, the Member who had the gredtest it t n n t,,, o f votes a f ter hi m , was nominated in his stead.

Th•e Treaty of Peace concluded bet wren Denmark and Stain, and signed so long ago as the 1411, at August, 1314, 1143 now been made oublic for the first time. It consists of ten articles, and stipulates. that the amicable relations between the two StatCS' which were interrupted ih 1808, shall he replaced on their former footing. His Danish Majesty recognizes no other lawful Sovereign in the Spanish Monarch) . and in all the possessions belonging to it, than his Majesty Ferdiaanti VII: and' his lawful descendants. All the commercial relations ate placed on the same footing as before, and an amicable arratt l gement is to be made respecting the restitution of the value of the Danish ships detained in the Spanish . ports. PETERSBURGH, MAY it On the 29th April, 0. S. appeAred the Manife.to, slatted by the Emperor on the 161 h, respecting the new Commission for the payment of the Public Debt; the preamble is As follows: " We Alexander I. by the Grace of GoD, Empe . _ ror and Autocrat of an the Rth.ias, &c Scc. " The measures for the gradual payment of the Public ll,:bt, - Frescribed by tile d Decrees nt 1810 and 181:1, were interrupted by the elects of the late war, which was so terrible is its origin, anJ so glo• rious in its results. , 4 The taxes and imposts laid on for this purposi were applied from urgent necessity to cover the ex iraorJinary expenses of the defence of the Empire.', During the pressure of the war, it was not possible to expect a rise of the public credit, the system o• which has not had time to be consolidated ; nothing remained bin to maintain it The war has been con eluded by the Divise assistance without increasing the taxes, without injuring the public credit. 6 , Now that general Peace is restored, we hare re garded it as conformable to the public good, and ne cessary for the establishment of entire conadence in the engagements of the Public Treasury, to renew the redemption of the Public Debt, and therefore (ordain, that 40 millions of rubles of the public debt shall be paid this year, and subsequently 60 millions annually shall be paid, &c." ALGIERS. It is with pleasure we lay before our Readers the following extract of a letter from Marseilles, dated the 30th of May, inserted in the Have Coarant of the llth instant, brought by the Dutch Mail of to-day : " I hasten to remove the fear which you may na turally feel on account of the news brought hither from Barcelona, that cruelties had been exercised at Algiers towards the English and Spanish Consuls.— The Captain of a vessel, which left Gibraltar only' six days ago, relates, that nothing was known there of such an event. Later letters from Spain also do not confirm it. Thus everything indicates that the report is fake." Although the reported massacre at Algiers seems thus pretty well refuted, it appears certain from other information that a very seams inlraction has been committed by some Algerine rover of that respect to the Ehglish flag which it might have been thought British bravery had so effectually extorted from them. —The English Consul at Civita Vecchia accord ing to the French Papers of to-day, received advice that two ships, under the English flag, had been hotly pursued in the Gulf of Manfredonia, by a Cor. sair, supposed to be Algerine, that one of them was sunk by the pirate, and that the whole crew perished. A Sicilian corvette came fortunately up to the assis tance of the other ship, and the Corsair sheered off.— It is not improbable that it is the destruction of this ship which has given rise in the mouth of ever-mag nifying Rumour to tote story of the massacre at Algiers. Tdesday SitstuEL NwitoLsod, Esq. of the 'Ord nance Department, was unanimously elected an Alderman of the City of Rochester. The new T►agedy of the Apaitate was performed last night at Covent Garden llseatre to one of the most numerous audiences of the season. Miss O'NEILL seemed to have perfectly recovered from her severe indisposition, and the Play w•is represented with increased effect. The new After-piece, " Incas." brought out at Drury-lane on Wednesday evening, and which was so favourably received, was presented to the Theatre and brought out under the auspices cf Mr. KENT. It is certainly a fair specimen of this Gentleman's taste, and, it is to be hoped, will lead to greater efforts. The company at Vauxhall Gardens, on Wednes day, was particularly numerous and elegant. We noticed many persons of distinction among the gay assemblage. The evolutions of Madame SAQVI at these Gardens are of so astonishing a character, that those who have not seen her can form no idea of the extent of her abilities. The final scene is peculiarly well managed, and produces, with her ascent, an ef fect truly imposing and magnificent; it approaches to a degree of genuine sublimity. A Foreign Gentleman of the name of MORAVIA, gave a very splendid Entertainment at his house in Brunswick-square, on Wednesday. Two persons, of gentlemanly appearance, intruded as far as the Drawingrltooms, wherein they were met by the owner ; and the latter finding them to be strangers, insisted upon seeing their cards of address ; this de. mand . not being complied with, nor any satisfactory apt.logy given, Mr. Mouaym very spiritedly gave them into the custody of the guardian of the night. A few weeks Igo a paragraph appeared in several of the public prints, involving the character of a Re verend Gentleman, implicating him wi is certain persons resident in the Isle of Man, chat t ;ed with a seridus offence. We art informed from the best authority, that against the •Clergyman alluded to, no proof whatever could be adduced to substantiate the criminality charged, and that what was urged against him was a groundless calumny. ,r,tvE 12.

It•BEItT PF.P1.17, Mr. TikliNtr, Mr. ',MORTON, Mr. MACOINALU, and Mr. BRIX& Mr. HUNT attended from a very early hour in the - morning. An immense crowd assembled to witness the re tui n of the prismers from Westminster Halt. Three. fourths of Palace-yard were entirely filled, the the side was ocrepied by the .rand of hackney c rather, ' and a strong detachment of H 'rise Guards. The pave ment along St. Margaret's G warn was crowded. as well as the entrances of iment-street,. . street, and the whole of Bridge -:trees; Westtnutstt t Bridge itself was a mass of spectators, °lnd the I.ous•s I in all the streets in the neighbourilood had their win dows lined with the votaries of curiosity. I4epezted cheering, and the waving of hats accompanied the prisoners on their progress, giving the procession more the appearance of the chairing at an eiection than that of a mare+ to a prison. They bowed re spectfully, but appeared little intoxicated by the po pular applause which rose around them. A troop of the Life Guards from Kensington attended, in addi tion to the ordinary emit t of the prisoners. The orders fur the exclusion of strangers at the Tower during the time that the State erisoners are there, continue to be enforced, and no person who is not well known is permitted to eater the into for of the garrison. The Jury, availing themselves of the permission of the Court, granted yesterday, took the benefit of a walk this aturni::t•, from ►ix to sewn o'clock, up and down Palace-yard, close to the toyer.

The populace still contint.e to welcome them with cheering. Watson's Notes of the Trial are now became very voluminous ; and, if we may be allowed to form a conjecture, from the earnest attention which he appears to bestow on every thing that is said, he is preparing himself for address ing the Jury, as well as his Counsel. It will be re membered, that when first brought up far the pure pose of pleading to the indictment, he begged to be informed by my Lord ELLENIMOUGII if this pernmis. shin would be granted him ? when his Lordship re. plied, that the Court would not pr , vetit him from making any statement to the Jury which was in any way necessary for his delenc( . lie was engaged in deep conversation with Tiligh:Wood until the arrival of the Judges.
