- Ca nt.TON.notsr., March I.—This day his Excellency the Buren Engel, Ambassador Extraordinary and Ple nipotentiary from his Majesty the King of the Nether tends, Grand-Duke of Luxembourg, had an audience cf His Royai Highness the Prince Regent, to deliver n letter from his Sovereign, together with a letter from his Royal Highness the Prince of Orange, announcing the birth of his son, and requesting his Royal Highness the Prime Regent, and Her Majesty to be godfather and godmother to the young Prince ; to which his Royal "Highness was graciously pleased to signify his consent. Cart;Pe. Wednesday, the Prince Regent held a Court, for the purpose ofreeeiving two addresses of congratulation on his late escape in the Park. The first address was pre sented by a cldputation of the beneficed Clergy of Lon don and 'Westminster, headed by the Bishop of London ' This was received by the Prince on the throne. His "Royal Highness then'tetired to his closet, and received 'the address presented *a deputation of the Dissenting Ministers of the three denominations. Both deputations -were graciously received, 'and had the honour to kiss hands. ' • Thursday the, Prince Regent held a levee at Carlton ; House, which was numerously and splendidly attended. !The company began to arrive acent after one, and eon , • tinued coming till past three. : The Prince Regent, • 'lifter some eustoinary formalities, eiceived the Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers, the Cabiaet Ministers, the 'Dukes of York; Clarence, and Glateester, Grand Duke Nicholas and suite, Archbishops, great Officers of • State and of the Household, High Sheryl - of Surrey, Mayor of Norwich, the Dean of Westminster, accom panied by several Prebends of the Chapterof West minster, the Attorney-General, &c. The, company +s-as was very numerous. Many of the Noblenien and . Gentlemen who appeared at Court, went for the ur pose of presenting addresses. The Duke of Maibo rough had an audience of the Prince Regent, andUi. vered to his Royal Highness the Ribband and Order of the Garter worn by the late Duke his father. The Court did. not break up till near six o'clock. The Princess of Wales, in her voyage up the Medi terranean, culled at Malta, with a very strong wish to ace the magnificent buildings of that island ; but, as she come from Tunis, it was necessary that she should per . form quarantine. • Her Royal Highness sent an earnest ...renumstrance to the Governor ; but the law admits of no . ,relaxation, and a period of 10 days was the shortest that could be allowed. Unwilling to lose the sight she . bad promised herself, her Royal Highness went into the Quarantine Harbour : but, at the end of two days, her patience was exhausted, and she sailed out of the dismal harbour, with some appearance of displeasure—at least without ceremony—for Greece. • ' A few days ago Colonel St. Leger received a letter from her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, that she intended to be in Kensington in a short time, and to order her apartments to be got ready for her. Applica . Eon was accordingly made to Mr. Mash, of the Chem , • terlain's-office, Mr. Imnimus, who has been in Eng land some weeks, sent a cart load of boxes to Dover, 'on Saturday ; and he went on Wednesday morning from the White 'Bear to , Paris to wait her return there.— _ . Morning paper. ' - The Marquis of Tweedale is said to be a candidate tr the vacancy in the representation . of the Scottish Peerage, occasioned by . the death of the Earl of Rothes. It is stated that his Grace the Duke of Devonshire - Las accepted an invitation of the Grand Duke Nicholas, to accompany him on his return to Russia ; where, and in visiting other foreign countries, his Graceintencht to pass the ensuing summer. The Grand Duke Nicholas is to embark at Dover in the Royal Sovereign yacht, Captain Edward Owen, on the lath of this mouth. Waterloo Bridge is to be opened on the 18th of June, the anniversary of the memorable and glorious • victory. It is stated, that on this occasion the Duke of Welling ten will come from Cambray, and will be the first to ride over it with his Royal Highness the Prince • Re. , •-i7 t.

(*rims, r.sq. in the Chair, at which the handsome offer • and proposal of the Duke of Bedfiml, its President, was, adopted, fisr distributing next December, only the Bed ff.olcan Premiums (as in the three last years), amount ing to 1'25 guineas, and applying the whole of the sub s.Niptions of the Members to the extinction of the debt it has incurred by the premiums of the last year, and to tite unavoidable expenccs of the current' one ; the con t 11; ions of the Show bciii nowise altered.

On Saturday the Prince Regent held a Court, which was attended by the Cabinet Ministers; the State Of-. Beers, and the Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench. After the Court there was a Council, to which the Re- • corder was admitted, and made his report of the pri soners under sentence of death, convicted in January last • when John Cashman was ordered for execution on Wednesday next, the 12th instant, opposite the house of Mr. Beckwith, in Skinner-street ; and An drew Burton and James Frampton, on Friday next, the 14th instant, at the usual place of execution before Newgate. The papers have represented Cashman as having received the intimation of his awful fate with the utmost composure: this, however, was not the case : he was, to use the language of our informant, who had the best means of obtaining correct information, " most dreadfully cut up." This phrase was not used in levity ; but with an evidently strong feeling of com passion for the wretched culprit. Cashman is an ex tremely illiterate and ignorant man. He has become the victim of either an artful and diabolical con spiracy ; or, which is more likely, that of a thought less phrenzy, instigated by the urgency of want, the pressure of severe disappointment, operating upon a mind wrottet to the highest pitch of ex asperation by the abominable harangues of young Wat son and others in Spafields. His blood be upon the head of—. But we forbear—" they are honourees& men! . Yet, as will be seen in another part of this day's paper, the rioters at Paulten and Radstick, near Bath, on Friday se'nnight, cried out, while, with uplifted bludgeons, they awaited the approach of the cavalry, " Bread or Blood ! HUNT FOR EVER ! !" we mean not to charge Mr. Hunt with any deliberate design of this nature ; but that apothecary should not deal in poisonous substances who is incapable of translating a physician's prescription, or who is totally unacquainted with the deleterious qualities of arsenic and hemlock. 44. Hunt's speeches have a tendenev, directly or indi rectly, to do essential mischief, whether he knows it or nor; and Mr. Cobbett may boast till doomsday about the peaceable effects of his twopenny nostrums : nothing that* either the one can say or the other write will ha nish from the minds of the truly reflecting part of man kind, wheltave the most remote idea of the connection existing between cause and effect, that by far the greatest portion of the patriotic labours has, for many months past, naturally m %tied to produce impatience, political irri tation, and theirtiniform concommitunts, sedition andidis affection to government. We are persuaded, neverthe less, that the &elf hes more in the heads than the hearts of these men . : for Mr Cohbctt has nom (hy the immense profits on-the sate of his MILLION of cheap Re gisters, and his thousands Bad tens of thousands of dear ones) something to lose ; • and Hunt, we suppose, is not a very poor man. By the levelling system these men would gain nothing but "a. little brief authority." Not being content to " serve in.. Heaven," they seem, however, anxious to " reign in Hell." And, to be sure, " a hell upon earth" we should have were the mad pro jects of these psuedo-politicians to be realized. Rather than this, may God give us back the *days of Oliver! • We had better be tyrannized over by affected saints than by confessed•and avowed sinners. Better bite too much praying than " the land be filled with cursing." The interregnum in England was certainly not nbloody one, though a tyrant,pretending to " seek the Lord,".Listirped the throne ; but the interregnum in France, during the reign of the atheists, philanthropists, and the philo sophers, was one foaming and boisterous scene of or., nage.
