Lord HOLLAND atilniadverted at some length on the ex treme hardships of the App..liatit's case, who sued in firma past peris, and thought that the effect of several prominent point. con nected with the case, to which he referred, ware worthy of the most serious Parliamentary sonsideration. In the result, the dis cussion was adjourned till Monday. The Dutch Trade Bill was brought up from the Commons by Sir hates GRAHAM ; as were a great number of Private Bilk by the Honourable Baronet and other Members, which were se verally read a first time. The Lottery and Additional Excise Duties Bills passed through Committees of the whole House (Lord KENYON in the Chair) and were Reported without any amendment.—The other Bills upon the table were respectively forwarded. DUNDAS P S DIVORCE RILL. The entisideration of this Bill being resumed, a further exams- I nation of witnesses took place, chiefly relative to the fact of the adultery, which was proved to have occurred at the Worcester Coffee-house, where Mrs. Dundas and Lord Semple lived toge ther for a considerable time, in September, 1812, and subse quently. Two letters of Mrs. D. one to Lord S. anti another to her husband, both contalaing acknowledgments of her con duct, were also put in, as corroborative evidence. The further proceedings in the case were then adjourned till Monday, with a view to the examination of evidence relative to the counter allegations of Mrs. Dundas, as to negligent conduct, &c. on the pan of her husband.—Adjourned till to-morrow. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The Wool Bill was read a secoad time and passed. Colonel WOOD presented four Petitions from certain Pa rishes in South Wales, against any alteration In the Poor Laws. They were ordered w lie on the table. Op the order of the day for the farther consideration of the Bill for regulating the Settlement of the Poor— Mr. S.

METHUEN rose.—" Not seeing, Sir, that any steps have been taken upon - the subject of the communication made to this House by her Royal 'Highness the Princess of Wales, I give notice of a mown for the consideration of the Letter of her Royal Highness to the House, on Saturday next. I have hitherto refrained from giving this intimation in the expectation of receiving from a Noble Lord (Castlereagh) an explanation which might preclude its necessity ; and I lament that the absence of that Noble Lord, last night and to-night,lms deprivetkne of that opportunity. ' them into their employment, at weekly wages, regu. laced by the current prices of the trade ; and if they refused that, the Magistrates should be allowed to levy on them, to be applied to the maintenance of those persons so thrown out of employment. Mr. W ROTTESLEY submitted, whether it would not be better to allow the Bill to go through the Com mittee. and to propose his clauses at some future op portunity. Mr. PHILLIPS objected to the introduction of the• clauses at present. Mr. LOCKHART consented to do that, which might be the general wish of the Committee.

They contain but little intelligence of a pro minent interest. The list of new Senators, or here ditary Peers of Parliament, has not yet made its ap pearance. The House of Commons, or Chamber of Deputies, has had its first meeting, and an Address has been voted to the King, which was presented and answered in precisely the same way with our Parlia inentary Addresses. The French Editors state as their excuse for not reporting the speeches of the Members, that they all spoke at once, so anxious were they to exercise the glorious privileges of free dom of debate. A circular letter from the new Director-General of the Police, addressed to the Mayors and Prefects, informs them that the system of Police, in futures will assume a mild, tolerant, and discreet aspect. By a letter from Aleppo, dated Ist December last, mid inserted in the lifoniteur, it appears that the Aga of the Janiz:tries, IBRAHIM HURBULLI, who exercised a depotic sovereignty over that rich district for the last ten years, has been deposed and put to death.— Aleppo now returns, therefore, to its allegiance to the Ottoman Port. MORAMNILD PACHA was the Turkish Officer wit.) effected this revolution. Count DAMAS, who was tutor to the French Princes, and many years the faithful adherent of the House of Bourbon, died at Paris, on Saturday last, in the 791 year of his age. _ _ _ A shock of an earthquake was perceived at Tarbes, in the Lower Pyrenees, on the 22d of May. Several stacks of chimnies were thrown down by it. M. I..Aista has been elected President or Speaker of the Chamb , :r of the Deputies from the Commons. The Editor of the Gazette de France gravely in forms his Readers, that an advanced guard of Cos sacks has reached London, and that their horse: are quietly pasturing in the meadow: of Charing.c rose A Dutch and Bremen Mail have arrived, froi which we give what follows : VETERSBURGH, MAY 14. " The Russian Senate has solemnly resolved to be stow on the Emperor Alexander the sirname of the Blessing (bringer cf Blessing). Three Senators, Prince Kurakin, formerly Ambassador at Paris ; Ge neral T4rmanzow, the Conqueror of the Persians, and Colonel Solekow, are to leave this city on the 17th, to bring this Resolution to the Emperor. " HAGUE. JUNE 6. " Yesterday morning at eleven o'clock, his Royal Highness the Prince Sovereign arrived herc in perfect health, from Paris." The following may be considered as the latest accounts from Bourdeaux : " Coln, JUNE 3. 6, Tuesday arrived his Majesty's ship TEAZER, Capt. Pnlcaterr, from a cruize in quest of the American schooner privateer, Surprize, which she fell in with, and gave chace to for fourteen hours; but we regret to say, that, ow:,ig to her superior sailing, she was enabled to get (,fr. Arrived also his Majesty's ship PELICAN, Captain MAUNSF.L.—Wednesday morning his Majesty's ship Viaaco, Lieutenant PITTMAN, ar rived from seeing convoy to Bourdeaux. She left the Garonne the 23d ult. at which time there were lying at Verdon, about thirty men of war. Among whom were the EGMONT, ZEALOUS, YORK, WAN DERER, ROYAL OAK, CLARENCE, &c. of the line. 44 Admiral Lord KEITH'S flag was flying on board the EGMONT. His Lordship remained at Bourdeaux. Admiral PENROSE had his flag on board the Poacu.. l PINE at. Poliac„ thirty miles up the river, near Bout-- Beaux ; where were also his Majesty's ship Ponaacis and near 400 transports. Several of the line-of-battle ships had taken out their lower.deck guns, and were taking on board troops for Canada, to sail the Ist of June. The smaller transports were to convey the skeleton regiments to England, as well as the Mar quis of Buckingham's Provisional Battalion of Militia, which were doing the duty at Bourdeaux, The rest of the English army were encamped on the other side of the river. Several vessels were returning home with cargoes unsold, owing to the market being glutted, and some unexpected difficulties in dis- e • ~ e ;or RUSSIAN TROOPS. Mr. WHITBREAD wished to know if any pro vision was made for preserving order among the 8000 Russian troops expected in this country. He thought it unconstitutionarto introduce so many foreign troops without a previous communication to Parliament. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated there was a precedent for it ; but in this case their arrival was uncirected. Mr. WHITBREAD said, it was strange to say their arrival was unexpected, when it was known that transports had been sent for them. After a few remarks horn Mr. WYNNE and Mr. PONLONEY on the necessity for some check on the pro. bable licentiousness of such a number of men, the conversation dropped. APPRENTICES BTLL. 7 , e House in a Committee heard Counsel on the Isppretitices' Bill, after which Sir F. FLOOD said, tide Bill would he ruinous to trade, and to the morals cif tie yoi th, and was proceeding to discuss the prin ciple of the Bill, when he was called to order by Mr. Serjeant ONSLOW and Mr. 17 , / ROTTCS LEY, who suggested, that us there were several other clauses intended to be proposed, it would be better to h a ve them brought up, the Bill reprinted, and a fur ther day appointed fur the discussion of them all. After the first paragraph wa, read, Sir F. FLOOD continued, that he traded the House would not adopt ;a Bill which would destroy all the. Acts on this sub ject, which had existed fur the last 250 years. Sir C. BUR RELL supported the bill, on the ground, that when; by change of fashions, one busi ness was destroy - 6J, the artisans might turn tbeii talents to another. Mr. THOMPSON supported the Bill.

The trial of the parties prosecuted for the fraud on the Stock Exchange concluded yesterday. They were all fount guilty. The Proclamation of the Irish Cnvernment seems to have produced an immediate effect. The Board tried tomuster on the followi•ag day ; and The Evening Put glveb the following account of the attempt : " Catholic Board Room, June 4. " At three .'clock: a few Member*. zJeembled ;—about four o'cl ;eh the Prochinhaion was handed to anntes. O'Connter., 'Loci. who read it to the Members present (sixteen). A cotiver sati.4l took place, Nhich tended to say, that if 21 Members were present, the Chair 4hould be taken ; however, twenty-one Members did not atteod, and, at half past' five o'clock, the per sons present retired." A diabolical fabrication, in the shape of a report, of the assassination of the Duke of WELLINGTON, and two of his Aides-de-Camp, in Spain, was put forth, by a contemporary Journalist last night. The gloomy report was vamped up on the authority of a pretended letter from Toulouse, dated on the 28th ultimo ; but we will venture to say, that no such letter was ever received, and Toulouse, of all other places, was the last from which such disastrous intelligence could have soonest reached us. Besides, we have French Papers now before us, with intelligence from Tou louse of the 31st, and no such event is alluded to. It is truly disgraceful to sport with the public feeling: in this manner. From what was rumoured in the Papers on Wed nesday, it was erroneously believed that Peace would be proclaimed yesterday. The order issued by Go vernment for a grand Illumination for three succes sive nights, commencing last night, and the fixing of posts in the City, at the principal points in the usual line of the procession in that ceremony, appear to have encouraged, if not caused this repot. It was, however, without foundation ; for up to the present moment, the Members of the Heralds' Office have not received any information of the day on which this ceremony of proclaiming the Peace will be per formed. We have seen a letter from the county of Cavan, which intimates the horrible and melancholy fact of twenty-four men and two women having been mas sacred i❑ an Orange affray that occurred at Sher cock, on Monday sennight!!—Freman's Journal. Monday night, some villains burned three houses on the lands of Bolter, the libtrties of Limerick, be cause .he occupiers had dared to contract, on reason - ble terms, for gravelling pan of ;he new line of road from dunce to Tipperary, , THE PRINCE REGENT'S GR4ND COURT. His Royal Highness the Pumas RZGENT held a Court yesterday at Carlton House. At half past one o'clock a Guard of Honour marched into the Court-yard of Carlton House, with the band of the Coldstream Regiment in their State uniform, playing a martial piece. All the Royal Dukes and the Duchess of YORK came in State, and were received with military ho nours, as were the Emperor of RUSSIA, the King of Paussta, their families, and numerous suites. Tla Duke of RICHMOND and Marquis WELtssLev also came in State, There were also presents The Prince of Orange, the Prince of Mr alenburgh, the Son. and Relatives of the King of Prussia, Prince Charles of Prussta, 111ars1.21 General Blucher, Marshal Lord Beresford, I.ord and the numerous assemblage of Euglish warriors, General D'Yort, &e. who have distinguished the:l:wives in the late w ar, together with the Prince Regent's Cabinet Ministers, his Other.% of State, and the Royal Household. the Lorl Mayor rind the Corporation of London, the Sherri!: of Loudon and Middlesex, At half past two o'clock the shouts of the populace announced the arrival of the King of Paussia, his Sons and relatives, together with Suites in State, Lord CHARLES BENTINCK, his Chamberlain, &c.— His Majesty was dressed in his own regimentals and silver, with his hair very short, and without powder, The band played our good national air of Goo rave the King. His Majesty appeared sensible of his flat tering reception, and bowed respectfully. At a quarter past three o'clock the Emperor of RUSSIA arrived at Carlton House in state, in the Prince Regent's carriage, escorted by a party of the Bays ;he was received with military honours. He was dressed in an English uniform, and wearing the Order of the Garter with which Sir Tilostaa Tits, wurrr and Mr. Towssas° went some months since to invest him. He was met at the door by the Putrice REGENT. His Royal Highness conducted the Em peeor to his closet, where they had a conference for some time. The Royal Sovereigns were dressed there in their splendid robes of purple velvet, lined with white, and their splendid collars, for the purpcue of attending a Chapter of the Noble Order of the Garter. A procession was immediately f lined by Sir Isaac Heine., King at Arms, from the closet of the Prince Regent to the Chapter Room, consisting of Knights of the Order. On their orris al ti'e PRINCE' REGENT took hi: seat in the Chair of State, under l s throne, at the head of the table ; having on his right hand, a Chair of State, in which his INIPERIAL MAJESTY was placed ; kind vacant chair on his left for the King of PILUsSIA. The CiraNcetaara then, by his Royal Highness's com mand, read a new statute, whereby, after compliment ing the King of PRUSSIA upon the heroism, military skill, and personal intrepidity, the just admiration of the whole of Germany, manifested by his MAJEsTy during the late momentous and arduous contest, now auspiciously terminated in the blessings of peace, his said MAJESTY was declared elected a Knight of the Order of the Garter. His MAJESTY was .then introduced to the Chaptei between the Dukes of Yoak and KENT, preceded by Gaiter and Black Rod : and being conducted to the PRINCE REGENT, was invested with the Garter, the Ribbons!, and the Order of St. George : the Cease ceeaott pronouncing the usual admonition. A statute was then read, wherein, after many high encomiums on the distinguished merits and services of the Earl of Ltvearexie and ViscountCastextutamt, it was declared that they should be added to the ntim-. ber of Knights of tf a Order. Their Lordships were then severally introduced be tween the two junior Knights, the Dukes of More ntoskand Newcas fir, received the honour of Knight hood from the PRINCE REGENT, with the Sword of State, and were afterwards invested with the usual ceremonies. A statute was then read, declaring that no further election of any subjects not being of the Blood Royal into the Order, shall take place, until the vacancy of Stall of a Knight subject, not of the Blood Royal, shall have happened sussequently to the reducuoa the number of Knights subjects, not of the Blood Royal, to the original number of twenty-five Knights C m p isl a tt i n st i uw o e n enr s t , including the P called theoo vriegirtiinsbaycir:li Sir Is aac Ai uAt7i WALES , oi a Kn c i.; " samet er order l i g c at u a . :s G the a T r House of PRUSSIA, Mar. shal 13-evetimt, General D'Youes, Marshal Bartes.ak DE TuLLY, General &tow, and In:toy other illustri ousftrhtmheeysseßannotacyraetlhde Procession returned u ,edaewnitdi Carport t a ht k el i:s.bduncdshocon, struck z d az u ram c s te if d tnirpo t an h mil e mAt De, ll .: P r : : :_ phe o tyt a timhaec t n o y: Personages, were presto t. i tl wn f e e .

ANECDOTE OF BLUCHER.—When the General was at Dover, he was surrounded by a crowd of females, some of whom requested a lock of the Grenerls hair. He bowed and smiled ; but begged to be excused, ad ding, with an allusion to the baldness of his head, that 4 , if he gave them all a hair a-picce, he should not have one hair left." A Royal Ordnance has been published in all the sea-ports of France, importing, th.!t during the conti nuance of the war between Great Britain and the United States of America, no vessel shall be armed in any of the ports of the kingdom in behalf of either of the belligerents, and that no French subject must take any share in such equipments. 811/11THF1EL1) MARKET, JUNE 10.
