" Royal Military Government, appointed for the• country be• .tween the Elbe and Oder. (Signed) L'ESTOCQ. SICK." • 6ORLIT7, MAY 30.—The Prussian army here received consi- derable reinforcements on the 15th; and we expect still more nu merous reinforcements from Silesia. There are 10,000 Bavarians with the enemy. WEIS%ENBERG, MAY 18.—Count Stadion arrived a few days ago, and had audiences of their Imperial Russian and Royal Prus sian Majesties, and conferences are continually held between him and the Ministers at head-quarters. Silt* esuNn, MAY 21—His Royal Highness the Crown Prince landed on the 17th instant at Monasgut near Perth, and passed the slight at the castle of Putbus. The next day he arrived here, and was met by the Generals, mid Members of the Government, on the Fahrbrueke, whence he proceeded, under the thunder of cannon, the ringing of bells, and amid the joyful acclamations of the popu lace, to the Palace of Government.

The Swedish artillery is also now landed, and in the best order it consists of from 75 to 80 pieces. The Swedish artillery, as is well known, still preserves its ancient well-fonrided reputation; acrd every one must confess that few European armies have so many scientific and well-formed officers as the Swedish. The army is advancing at all points towards the Elbe. The head-quarters of the Crown Prince are expected to be on the 30th at Wittenberg, to which place the whole of the Swedish troops arc ad vancing. OCCUPATION OF HAMBURGH BY THE FRENCH. txtract of a Letter from Heligoland, dated May 31. " I left Hamburg last night at nine o'clock, two hours after the French had taken possession of the town. On Saturday last there was a very severe engagement at Ochsenwarder ; the Hanseatic Legion, Prus sians, and English Riflemen, made a strong resistance ; but owing to a blunder of Captain Muller, who took the French, who were commanded in English, to be English, 1,500 men took possession of Ochsenwarder. The Swedes never attempted to assist win this awkol crisis. Early yesterday morning, General Tettt tiborn informed the Senate, that he had no longer the proper means of defence, and It ft it entirely with the Senate what measure they dcemed proper to adopt ; and he left Hamburgh, with his Cossacks, at three a. tn. Yesterday, at twelve o'clock, the Danes, 5.000 strong, and with a park of artillery, entered Hamburgh, with the French General liruvere at their head, who took possession of the town in the name of the Ruler of France ; and at_seven p. m. 15:10 French, chiefly Gene-d'armes and Donaniers, entered Hamburgh. When I left that city no proclamation had yet been issued by the French, nor any acts of violence committed. - • IMPERIAL. PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS. MONDAY, M otY Sl• The Duke of No PrOr,g rose, pursuant to notice, to brine in a Bill to do array the penalties to which Irish Roman Catholics, hording civil or military offices, ale liable to in England, by the statute of the 25th of Charles 11. and moved that the Bill be read a first time, with a view of bringing the subject under consioeration.—The pill was read u,first time. The Doke of BEDFORD rose to move the second reading of the Bill • for the ImproveinemtofSinitli fi eld Market. 1k said it was a measure of relief, which was called for by a very large portion of the Metropolis ; and it was well known that the nuisance could not be removed without the interference of Parliament. At the timethis market was erected, it no doubt was large enough to supply the suetropolis, without the lawn- • • • 3E•I. ;, • tf, tc , r • venience to its inhabitants; but in the growth of this great city it would be found to be narrow and confined for its now far more extended pur poses. The object of the present Bill, therefore, was to enlarge the Market, and he was convinced, it' their Lordships would allow it to go into a Committee, that they must see the extreme necessity and utility of such a measure.—His Grace then said, that he held in his hand docu inents which would prove what he asserted to be true ; but he would nit occupy their Lordship? time with them, except to state, that in tits last five yt ars, compared with the years 1790 to 1794, these had been an increase of no less than 30,000 head of cattle, and 0f200,000 sheep brought to Smithfield Market yearly. The principal object of the pre• sent Bill was to increase the area of the Sheep Market. He would not undertake to say that it would be a complete cure; but he was sure that it would decrease the evil materially. 4 Lord EctAN aortouo it opposed the Bill, and thought the ttsarl•et ought to be removed to the suburbs of the metropolis. He resifted it likewise, because he Considered that it would be an extension of the nuisance merely ; and would deteriorate the ancient and useful founds. tion of the Charter-house. The Lord CHANCELLOR and Earl Livearool, opposed the .Bill on sii•oilar grounds. The Earl of LAUDERDALIII and Marquis of LANSDOWNE suppOrted the Bill. • . . The Duke of BEDroRD replied ; and said be could strew by evidence of both buye►s and sellers that no place could be found so convenient for all parties as the present : and also that this measure would remedy the evil.—Thu; House then divided--Fur the Bill, 16; ,against it. 25. Majori►y, 9.—The Bill was thus rejected. • TUESD.tY, JUNE 1. LORD Mtn ott presentest a petition from John Cartwright, Esq. eon• taming a statement of numerous grievanties which he suffered in the Northern Counties towards the end of last year, from the magiste rial and military authorities. He set forth the circumstance of his having been arrested at Huddersfield on suspicion of being a Luddite, and' his imprisonment. He was induced from that treatment to draw a conclusion that the poor had no remedy for such atiset!, and he therefore prayed that their Lordships would consider the pro- priety of making a law to protect die poor qgainst oppression similar to that he had suffered. Earl FITSWILLIAM opposed the petition as one of an ettraordi• nary description iiot fit to be received. Lord St nmotalt likewise opposed it'; and on the lineation being put, the petition was rejected. WrUNESIIAY, JUNES.

Mr. PoisoNnv wished to know from the Noble Lord (Castlereagh) whether any aunt had been granted to Sweden, in addition to that from the vote of Credit. Lord CASTLE a 'SAD D said in answer, that certairuadvances had bees made Iseyond the stun agreed to by the House to Sweden. He also said he rather hoped to have an opportunity, at an early period, to communicate to the House all the circumstances. Lord Cs srt En"! An ft then moved the Order of the Dav, for.the I House going Into a Committee on the Affairs of India -- The House 1 being in a Committee accordingly. the Noble Lord proposed the first . itesot..tion, namely, "That it was expedient to cntitintie to the East India Company, under certain restrictions, all the privileges and immunities which they had fornierl . j• enjoyed, for a time to he limited." —The House continued in discussion on this Resolution till a late hour in the morning; and the Members who spoke wet..., Mr. Bruce, Mr. Grantoen. and Mr. Grant, jun. against throwing open the trade to JITNr, 6.
