peaceful, and serene is the triumph of 90 * calm, ve getable reign in its useful magnificence; it is i . r innocent conquest of the sweetest and rarest °h ;rd; in the world. How these things display the or d r efill power of the Cactroa. It is on this double c ,,memplation that the soul swells with extacy, and ~fe ni a dmiration turn to payer." These judicious ob. .ovations ariused LEOPOLD, and, for the first time, 1;e found himself momentarily relieved. I will," „ c l ai med he, ‘r live and die at Claremont.

From age to age ettending, We truArd fora race of thine, Ou wings of peace descending! Lung :hall thy virtues be our theme, Adornorg tonne stury! Anti, evermore, an augers claim, Thy crown a crown of glory! One might conjecture, from the introduction of perbgrees, that the descent of the Crown was so irre sisnbly filed, that it must devolve, of necessity, on y foreignet, being a Protestant, who, in case of the extinction ofthe English House of Batteswicic, with sat heirs, eitinld prove title, in lineal descent, from the Princess SOMA. This requires some considera tion. The limitation in the lS and IS W. 3, cap. 2. itto the Princess SOPHIA, and the heirs of her body. being Protestants, according to the restrictions in that Act. Her heirs enjoy an isseerfirary right, by M of Pariatanst, and by Act of Parliament that P4e liamentary hereditary right cony be destroyed. The theory of devise ind jeruiWe, kereiddry rgit, now softened down into legitimacy, our ancestors despised, end none but the baser part of their children ad ire. his at war with the principles of Otir Constitution. iathsistent with our History, is supported only by knavery, and nursed by ignorance. Some of our Kings have traced their title to election—some to cession—others to testamentary disposition— others to conquest, fraud, and force. HAROLD held the Crown in defiance of the hereditary right of EDGAR ATHELINto. WILLIAM the Conqueror pre red to claim it AS Vie gift by will of EDWARD eContessor. WILLIAM the Second was elected, al theOgh his elder brother, RonanT, was living. HENRY the First was also elected on the death of WILLIAM ItUfvt. though ROBERT, also his elder brother, was then alive: Stennis 'Acknowledged that his right sprung from elation; and he set aside the hereditary Intentions of MAVD. JOHN became Knit, although AAITHUE PLANTAGENET, the son of his elder brother, vas the person oho ought to have succeeded, accord ing to the &tine law of indefeasible hereditary right. Enwaan the Third was elected, whilst his deposed tuber was in existence. HENRY she Fourth could Bake a title only by chants, EDMUND MORTIMER, Earl of Mayas, being the next heir. RICHARD the Third was elected. MARY and Euziseern laid the ftoenti-work of their title on parliamentary recogni. bon; by parliamentary authority they had both been declared dignified.. Wts.t.ate, our great deliverer,' was elected, and alie mails beam of the title of the Princess &eau of Hanover rested on xcerrion; she mild have had no pretence it the crown from were hrefAter . , right, because between her and the t h roe Were more than thirty persons, all nearer in blood 'ban herself. Das COUNTIIIII or ALISSIARLIL—We had the me. lancholy task on Monday last to announce the death of the Ante most amiable Lidy. We need not state that her Ladyship was the early friend of the lamented Princess Cuamsorrt, and it' is most pro bable that the shock to her feelings on receiving the intelligence of her Royal Highness's death, following ht erect of the dreadful calamity that happened in bar own family, brought on the premature labour to *bids she fell a victim. The following is the extract of a letter from Holkhami which !elates the fatal t in pathetic terms, and in . which every bosom ill sympathize : " Houtnaw, Novsmilta 16.—Ahout Arms tedbck, on Fri. burning, at this place, Lady Asacsitaaza was taken with 'lv pains of premature labour, and in seventeen bocn twos her Lai attack she was a corpse.

The procession of the hearse and five mourning coaches, preceded by a number of men on horseback, were escorted into the ;own from Egham by a party of the Royal Horse Guards.

Noverssaa O.—Yesterday was uncom monly tine, when the spectacle, so interesting to the inhabitants of this island, took place in the Artillery Parade. The six boys from each of the Militia Re. giments (all of whom had received prizes at the last exhibition for their military exercise), were assembled to obtain, by a further trial, the superior prizes. Ge neral Gottnos, in fuU costume, attended by his Staff, the six Militia Colonels, &c. &e. besides Officers ut the Royal Artillery, Colonel . Da BUTT, the Com manding Enginetr, and several others of the Milk tarp, were assembled on the Parade at eleven - o'clock. The 36 boys were formed in six divisions, the whole, receiving the word of command from the Inspector of Militia, Col. Touzzt, passed the General in slow and quick time, after which they performed the ma nual and ,piatoon exercise with wonderful preci sion, and then in their different Companies west repeatedly exercised by their own Adjutants.— A selection of six was then with difficulty made from the whole number for the prises. General Gonvon lamented that there were not prizes for all of them, as they were all so very perfect. The prizes were silver spoons s—the first was accompanied by 42 in money—the second, 30s.—and proportionate sums to the others. As they received the prizes, his Excel lency spoke to each in very flattering terms, and observed, that he was highly gratified with their 'performance, and the exactness with which they went [through their nizoteuvres. The 36 boys were snarch, led to t h e Saloon at Deal's Howl, where they sat down to a good dinner of roast beef and plum pud ding. Colonel 'routes, presided at the dinner. and the Band of the 85th attended. The boys were allowed two glasses of wine each. The health of dot King and the General were drank with cheers, whit' the Band played" Goss save the Kirig," ice. a _ FRENCH PAPERS. The Paris Papers o! Sunday arrived this morning. On Saturday our Ambassador had a special au dience of the Jima, when his Excellency notified to his MAJESTY' the death of the Princess CfIAitLoTTC. An order was afterwards issued, appointing the Court to go into mourning on the melancholy occa sion, and it having been intimated by our Ambassa dor that the interment of the Pruness was to take place as this day, the order directs the mourning to commence from that hour, and to continue for eleven days. In this appropriate unison of observance, it seems as if we beheld all the ancient delicacy of gal lant France revived ; it is a feeling tribute, and will, we are assured, be universally felt and acknowledged as such by our fellow mourners on this great day of out Feast of Sorrow. The moot-Mile costume is to be, for the first six days, black—for the remaining five, white. M. de SXRIM the President of the Chamber of Deputies, has laid before the Chamber a rropositiOn of great leng , h and minuteness for the better regula: tion of its proceedings. The most prominent altera tions he proposes are, that in the discussion of Pro jects Article by Article, and of the amendments pro. posed oo them, the reading of turitien speeches sh 11 be prohibited—that so proposal of amendment shall be ei.tertained unless supported by at least five Men:- ben— that sixty Members shall at all times constitute a suf f icient quorum for the transaction of public bu siness—and that Members who insult other Deputies, or are gushy of want of respect towards the aggre gate body of the Chamber, shall be punished by im prisonment. It these regulations are adopted, it is expected, and we think, not without reason, that a considerable saving of time and acceleration of busi ness' will result from them. After hearing this proposition, and ordering it to be printed, the Cl:amber resolved itself into a Secret Committee, in which (as the Journal,: report) the following were the beads of business transacted : 1. The Cosninis►ion appointed to draw up an ad dress to the King mad:, its report, and their draft was adopted. The address was appointed to be p-e -tented by a deputation, consisting of the President and twenty-nine Members. 2. M. DUVgRGIER DE HAUTIANNE read a propos; don for determining, by interpretation of Arts. f,S and 39 of the Charter, the precise epoch at winch a person elected Del uty, shall hare completed h s fortieth year. 3. General DIMOXT made a proposition to suppli cate his MAJESTY to present a Project of Law for the organization of the Army, at the same time with the promised Project relative to recruitment. The Duke of ANGOVLESIE has since his return from hts tour had several conferences with the Ministers for the Interior, General Police, and Marire. It would appear that the long•standing rumour of his HlGH 'tins and the other Princes being of a party alien to (he Km; and his Ministers, is now at least very much without foundation....." I am glad," said his HIGHNESS, to addressing some Veride ill Officers who Were presented to him at Bourbon Vendee in the course of his tour—" to tell you, that the name of the Princes has been improperly used, to make you be• flew* in divisions that have no existence. All the Princes of the Royal Family have no other opinion and will but that of the KlNG—they make but one with him. The KING expects that all Frenchmen will be as obedieti to the Charter as to his person." A Mail from Holland arrived last night with Pa pers and Letters to the 15th instant, from which our Readers will find extracts in a preceding column.— The Kttac set out from the Hague for Brussels on the 12th. He gave audience the day preceding his departure to a solemn Deputation of the two Chant. bets, at the head of which was Count Tumor as, Pre sident of the first Chamber, who, in the name of the States-General, presented an address to his MAJESTY, to thank him for his discourse on the opening of the Session. The address recapitulates all the principal topics of the Speech; congratulates his tolasmv on' the birth of a son to the Prince of OnAKGE I ex presses the pleasure that the States feel at the assu rance of the prospect of continued peace; their gra titude for the good harvest, and their desire to con cur with his MAJMITY in regulating the Poor Laws. They regret the deficit in the revenue, caused by the insufficiency of some of the branches of the receipts and the decay of some others, but trust, that judicious management and increased activity in commerce will accelerate the time when the revenue will cover the eapenses. They rejoice that the laws respecting the militia have proved so suitable in practice for the first time, that agriculture, trade, arts, and sciences Sourish, and promise to contribute by every means in their power to support his MAJEtTeS views fir the good of the country. The Minister of Finance on Thursday last laid be fore the Second Chamber the Estimate of the Public Ettpcnditure and Revenue for the year ISIS. The latter is stated at 67 millions and a half of florins, :the former at 76 millions, tearing a deficit of six millions and a half. He proposed a credit of 4•S millions to Government, for which are to be issued during the three following years ytdrate Beat, each of 1,0110 florins, to bear 5 per cent. interest, the 'whole to be repaid by the gradual sale by public auc ' k•wisasippial 'states. . • i_.. ..~.. .~ N.lrifL MTELL MAILS THIS DAY.
