There leave, in consequence, :en various rumours circulated in the city ; but frOrn nil the information we hive been able to procure, the stiles were made chiefly for Country Bankers, of course perfectly unconnected with news or politics.— There is every probability that this is the true cause of the Jecline. Consols opened yesterday at at ;6i, and at one o'clock were '75. They left ofd at 75a. We hare received Paris Papers of Weanesdaylut, 11.3 they do not contain any thing of importance. The Paris Papers of Monday let state, that on Sun tan!, the King signed the contract of marriage between the count Decries, the Minister of Police, and Made.. anoiselle de Saint Aulake The Secret Memorial lately addrtused by the French ultra Royalists to the Foreign Sovereigns, has been published in London. Its purpose indisputably was the removal of the present Ministry, and to zecom snend a restoration of the old regimes in France. An article from Madrid, which quotes intelligence from South America, admita the defeat sustained by the Royalists at Mails, and mentions a report 'that Gene ral Osorio will, in consequence, be tried by a Council .of War. The same article states that couriers are fre fluently dispatched to Russia, and that it is supposed the Spanish Colonial straits will become a subject of discussion at the Congress of Aix-la-Chapelle. It is said to be certain that the Allied Monarchs, before assembling at Aix-la-Chapelle, will review Their troops in France, from the Upper Rhine to Mau-, beitge. Lord Castlereagh does not proceed to Aix-la-Chapelle till the . 25th inst. as the Congress does not commence its sittings till the first week in September. The Noble Lard is to be attended in all by Lord Clanwilliam, Lard Francis Convitgliam, Mr. Planta, and Mr. Chad. A Mail from liamburgh has brought papers to the instant. They supply us with particulars of some disturbances at Gottingen, which originated in a quer rci one of the students at the University, and a butcher. A body of horse which had been marched into the flace to restore order, having attacked the students, aid wounded fire of them, the latter with drew to the Hessian town of Witzenheusen, whence they sent a deputation, with a memorial to the Autho rities at Hanover. The result of this application is net stated ; but the greater number of them are said to soar returned, in consequence of the vigorous measures ...;opted by the Hanoverian government ; and it is stat ed. that, by way of ntini,:lent nt fir the recent disturb ahem, foreigners will, fir a certain period, be excluded from the University.

ATIO NAL REGISTER. TIIr, NATIONAL REGISTER.. Iler Majesty has experiencad so much relief from the united talents of her physicians and Mr. Kente, tha surgcnn, as to be able to resume her accustomed exer eisa in her garden chair, without its producing any re• currence of those. spasmodic affections which have here tofore remised such alarming effect during almost the motion. Every precaution, indeed, is taken to avoi.l any material alteration of her Majesty's posi tion, in her removal from her chamber to her c!rtir ; and the horse is led is the gentlest and most earful manucr, so as to make the motion almost imperceptible. Her NI ajesty's appetite also continues unimpaired ; but, notwithstanding all these favourable circumstances, it is no: probable that she will speedily he removed from Kew.—li is generally believed that her Majesty has undergone uu operation, by which the water in her chest has been withdrawn. Her Majesty a health, we are extremely happy to say, continues to improve. On Thursday evening at six o'clock, her Majesty left Kew Niece and rode out in her garden chair in the delightful pleasure Iv wilds attachd to the Palace, drawn by her pony, guided by her coachman. The D aches, of Gloncerer waiked by the ride of her beloved mother ; Princess Augusta fol !omit. leaning on the arm of Sir Francis Milman.— They were lb-Bowed by two footmen. Her Majesty continued her ale tiar upwards of an hour ; she ap peared very cheerful and much refreshed. On Thurs day morning the Countess of Cardigan visited her Nlajestc. A t the same time the Duchess of Gloucester Princess Auguste. radii out in nn open carriage.— The nectmnt yesterday was, that "her Majesty had had a good night and .centinued much the same." Wednesday being the Prince IV-genes birth-day, it was observed in a private manner, the public celebnition by a Court and other rejoicings having taken place on St. George's day. The Dukes of York and Cambridge, and Prince Leopill, paid their perional respects to the Prince Regent, at Carlton-house, upon the anniversary of his birth. The 'Foreign Amlamalors and Ministers, with , a numerous asseniblagz, of nobility, thronged Carl ton-house, to pay their congratalatory respects. The company was occasionally to numerous that the great gates of Carlton-house were thrown open. The Duke of Clarence has declared, says the Morn ing Chronicle, that it is his intent itm to return with the Duchess to England in the course of a few months, as he has the well-grounded prospect of her Royal High ness bringing him a Prince or Princess, and it is their mutual wish that the birth should take place in Eng land. The same paper, which is in luck with its inte -resting secrets, goes on to state that the pregnancy of the Duchess of Cambridge is.also.announced ; but it laments to learn that her Royal Highness is to be con fined in Hanover. This, it continues, cannot be acceptable to England, unless it could be supposed that there is a design of separating the Kingdom of Hanover from the Crown of Great Britain ; and that the future Sovereign of the nation should be born within it. 'The Duchess of Cambridge has expressed much solicitude to return to the Continent, and the Duke has therefore signified his intention of proceeding to Dover to-morrow, to embark for Calais. _ _ _ About seven miles east from Grantham, by the Bridge End turnpike road, on the side of a hill, com manding a view of the coast at Bostnn Haven, were lately discovered very considerable remains of ancient buildings, tesselated pavements, and other indications of a . fixed Roman military station; and further search, • in digging and removing the earth, &c. continues to be made by order of Sir William Earl Welby and Lord Brownlow, the proprietors of the parish of Staceby, wherein these discoveries were made. The first subject was found by some labourers widening the road; it consists at present of three distinct apartments, the middle one 6 feet by 22, tha others are not vet ascer tained ; the floors are paved with red and white small stones three quarters of an inch square each, and form different patterns ; the first by the road, in squares; the middle one octagons; and of the third, only pert of a border inscribed with circles, remains. 'these floors appear to be formed of a bed of compact tempered blue clay, 20 inches thick, covered with a strong cement of lime, &c. about two inches thick, in which the ttasarse are paved and set fast. The walls are of stone, firm'y laid in strong coarse lime mortar; the outer ones are five feet thick—the inner ones, between the rooms, three feet only: not any of these walls remain higher than the floors. No idea can be formed of them as an habitation, further than to guess from fragments duo up, which clearly showed that the roof was covered with coarse blue slate, and the walls lined on the in side with different coloured figured tiles, not any two alike, and in some parts by line ccut•rtt. lik: stone, painted in various cul.ntrs Of the whitlows, only a very few piece:: of glass were found, and not of a size sufficient to chew at!y except in uric place, which was stained through of a bexutit•ul fine colour, Of timber nothing was met with but soot and black char coal, like embers, winch produced a conjecture that the fabric was partly destroyed by fire. It is stated in the Ph iadel,oh, a Fainkin Go:et#e that the thermometer in that city lately stood at 102, average 100; and that fiair or five persons died by im prudently drinking cold water, notwithst.ataiai; the frequent warnings that have been given. ~,._.~, THE DRyl Md. ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE. The noTelty of the week at this pleasing and well condocted summer theatre, is the serious ballet called the Ikath If Captain Gook. This well known subject is exceedingly well depicted and the interest rises until the conclusion of the piece, which is got up under the direction of Mr. T. P. Cooke, whose, abilities are fully proved not only as a regulator of pantomimic action, but as a superior actor. The grouping, of the Islanders is most picturesque and the crumbuts and occasional BLit-wishes with the marines, sailors, Ike. naturally managed. T. P. Cooke personated the dying mornews of the heroic but unfortunate Navigator with expressive eflivt. Mrs. Pincott as a Native of Owyee proved her. self an active and graocful pantomimist. The Indians were introduced and performed throughout with a spirit and precision which surprised us. Lionel and Clarissa has been repeated, and we pro nounce that it has seldom or ever bcon so well acted as upon these boards. The - entertainments of Friday night attracted a fashionable and full audience. We have frequently before borne testimony to the merits of the performers, In the Opera of Free and Eav ; they are so well known and appreciated, that it would be super fluous to partjcularise them. In the new Operetta of the Belts llead, which followed, Mr. Wrench was fully us Aicient and happy as in theformer piece. The vulgar seli:apldauding,•impertincurt, retired Cit, was most ably portrayed by Mr. Wilkinson. HAYMARKET THEITRE. The comedy of A Cure for the Heart Ache was per formed at this Theatre on Tuesday evening, for the first time these five years. Mr. Jones played Young Vapid with uncommon spirit; he infused into it all the animal vivacity which seems to be the essence of this part. Old Rapid was .alltnirably represented by Mr. Liston ; and Mr. Tukely displayed both pathos and humour in the character of the young rustic. Miss Blanchard was the representative of Jeurty 'the part seems suited to her, used she performed it extremely well. Her recitation is highly judicious, elegant, and unaffected. Several pessages where tenderness or sen timent are to be expresst-t!, were given by her with crest happiness. Mrs. ha performed Miss Vortex with her accustomed force and liveliness, and Mrs. Connor was extremely successful in her representation of Ellen Vortex. Notwithstanding the meagre vulgarity of the comic part of the dialogue in this play, the performance went off with signal success. The whim sical drollery of soma of the situations, and the ludi crous, but natural conception of the two principal cha racters, executed with all the comic force of which they are susceptible, by Mr. J roes and Mr. Liston, kept the audience literally in a roar during several seenes.-e , Their Royal Highnesses the Duke ant Duchess of Cambridge were present with a party, consisting of Ladies, and the two Princes, brothers of her Royal Highness. They sat in the stage-box on the King's side, and seemed greatly amused with the perfinlnanees, particularly the Critic, which was the afterpiece. The presence of their Royal Highnesses had not been noti fied in the bills ; but on entering the box they wore instantly recognised, and greeted with the warmest exprsions of public attachment and respect. Mr. Kean, the actor, and his fellow-traveller, were nearly das!ted to atoms on their way to Geneva, by the breaking down of their carriage on the Jura mountains, about two 'o'clock in the merning ; but they had the good fortune to reach .a village about two miles from where the accident took place, and where they obtained a temporary shelter. Kean was not only magnificently treated in France by Talmo., and other performers, but received a superb snutf-box from the manager of the Theatre Francais. He is now proceeding with his friend through Italy. Letters from Burgundy announce the forward and promising state of the'vineyards. The grapes are most abundant in number, and excellent in quality ; but owing to the almost miraculous drought, somewhat deficient in size. The dressers have already begun the operation, which does not usually take place till long alter—that of exposiug the bunches, by removing the covering leaves. The drought has not only dried up brooks and wells, tat has absolutely exhausted rivers; and the po, ulation arc actually suffering from the want of water to turn their corn mills. The pospect, how ever, of a good vintage keeps them in tolerable humour. Abundance in this respect is the more necessary, as the stock of wine upon ha id is known to be consumed. — The crop of oats has been very scanty throughout France There is a report in town, that adviccs have been re ceived of an attempt to at;sassinate young Napoleon.— Several mains, it is said, broke into the chamber, where the youth was in bed, and aimed a thrust with a poniard at his breast, but which only wounded him itt the arm, and he succeeded in getting out of the bed ard rising an alarm. Three of the villains were secured ; and the rest made their escape. Such is the account we have beard ; but, if true, we have no doubt that the Enrieror of Austria will use even• mama to xarch to eats buttum the atrueiuua attempt. ' 7 ALIO Al "GI 16 , ' :_`••• ."!
