Furnished with the seal Of the Bey. (Signed) EXMOUTH, Admiral of his Britannic Majesty. Sir ROBT. WILSON and Capt. HUTCHINSON. The following is the determination of the Prince Re gent respecting Sir Robert Wilson and Captain Hutch ieson—and, whilst the whole country acknuwithlges the mildness of his Royal Highness, the parties themselves must add, to that ti , eling of contrition which we hope they have, a deep sense of gratitude thr the moderation displayed by the Prince Regent; unexpectednioderatian it must be to Sir R. Wilson, who in the following paragraph of his letter to I.orlGrcy, published in the Act ofAcc s; t contemplated a more rcrious mark of his Sovereign's dis. pleasure: " Ile does not dissemble the unpleasant CO:IFC.. quences of his enterprize—he was rut ambitious to be iatprisoned, or to lose his Commission: but he was re signed on 'both points."

"'file proreedings having now tennis:died, the Commander -in Chief has received the Prince Regent's commands to fiction. his Royal Highness's sentiments on the tinnsactious which have led to the trial and conviction of those Officers. " In the installer of Nlajor-General Sir R.

Nor does his Royal I iigliness coniider the means by which this measure wits accomplished aslessrepre liensible than the act itself. For his (Royal Highness cannot admit that any eircumstxtwe could ,justify a British Oilleei• having obtained. ;miler false pretences, passports in feiginel trailleilfailll the Representati cof his own Sot ereign, and having undo use of such passports for himself and a subject of his Most Christian Majesty, under sentence for ilisataisad iiiltltritishUatiforin.not only toehMle the vigil/nice of the French Government, but to carry him in such disguise through the British Boca. B hile the Prince Regent cannot but cousinr if as a material aggravation of Sir R.ll ilson's offence, that holding Po high rank in the army, lie should have conntenanced and encouraged an inferior tficer to commit a serious and decided breach of military duty, his Royal Hit:ln:cis , ' nevertheleisthinks i; -equally necessary to express his high displeasure at the CM. 4' 'loci of Capt.

N.W.iL AND JII`•_L/T'i/lY BIBLE SOCIETY. Wednesday se'linight,tlic :16i la A nntlltl Mertina of this Society was held in the King's Cmeert-room, Haynnirlet—Nlajor-Ge mold Ni ille in the Chair. Apologies were read by the Seeretary from his Royal High ness the Duke of York f the Earl of Liverpool; the llishops of Gloucester, London, and (Word ; the Chancelltir of the Exchequer, and several other eminent public characters, who were prevented from attending lry'orgetit public busintess. The Report of theNociety was'ecad ; from which it apt eared, since the establishment of the Institution in 17n0, 116,241 Bi bles and Testaments had been distributed tilt total' its means. ILm•h yet remained to be done by the Society, whose !salamis in the statement of the funds for the present year did not exceed 261. 10, t!rl. in consequence of the immense number of Bibles distributed by them within the year, to soldiers who had lost their former ones at Waterloo, and to others in garrisons, eke. The Report Contained a variety of details, together with an Appendix, containing several letters from COrrespon dem: on ►lts besiness- of the Institution ; and one from the Duke of Wt 11 ngton, , expressing his cordial approbation of Its plan. Mr. Butterworth, M. P. proposed, that the Report he ithipted; which was agreed to onanimously. The Hon. Gentle. • man strongly enforced the advantages resulting front this In • :inflation. In the course of his speech, he related an anecdote cif a serjeaut of a recruiting party, st ho, at a sermon in Shrews batty, became forcibly ill11111'“I'd with the necessity of dis iue ;precepts. This serjeant was afterwards sent to the Peninsula, from which he wrote over, entreating that a few Bibles might be sent Trim for some fi blots ; and also a few in the Spanish lan guage, for the wretched inhabitants of that country. This request had been complied with, but the Spanish Clergy burn ed the books, and thereby put vented their Sovereign from having befme hint a work that would have instructed him how to govern without tyranny, and his subjects how to obey w itliout rebellion. The Hon. Gentleman related the further history of this seijeatut op to the battle or Waterloo, where he played a distinguished part in the Sal battalion of the Foot Guards ; and road a letter fr him descriptive of that battle, and contain ing an interesting ackalowledgment of the true courage with which religions instruction inspired him on that occasion. He also alluded to the perskyenance of a sailor, who, though threatened to he flogged to the bare bone by his Lieutenant, if he devoted his time and that of others to prayer; yet per sisted, and warned those who were of a weak body nut to attend, as they could not so well bear flogging to the hone. The Lieutenant was, however, removed, and the Captain gave the ' poor knows full permision to pray. • It also appeared, in the course of the disens•ion, that the soldiers of Scotland were always remarkable for their ;attention to religions duties ; and that there wara hardly one of limn ever Withellt it in his knapsack. Lord Caltlampe, Capt. Montague, H. N. ;tie-. Clementson, and several Iles efelld Gentlemen, addressed the Nleeting in support of this valuable Institution. Several Resolutions were entered into tar •this purpose, and a handsome subseriplion 'vita made op in the room, iu fan therance of this desirable ob ject. The Meeting was attended by several Ladies of distineliam. Mr.Wilberthree was present', but we regret to add, prevented by indisposition nom delivering his sentimentsin support of the Institutioa. The prison: r+ in Novrgate, Dublin, made an attempt on Saturday sionnight, to break out of that prison.--They had seized and disarmed four of the sentinels at the time it was discovered. The jailor, aided by the guard. endeavoured to dissuade thcm ; but they refused, and attempted to burst through .the breach which they had made. One of them (Peter Woods) was shot dead, three were wounded, and the rest then submitted. About 300 prisoie.rs were cimaged in the ate: mpt.—Coroner's Verdict, Justifiable lloiniside. In the King's Bench, Thiblin, on Friday, a young barrister moved tar an attachment against two farmers of the counts of Shen, the an outrageous contempt of the process of the Court.
