Tt ;• still e•serted. span what is denomiestea as thew' janrinatitm, thst the min-Isis of the Doke Of CL4RENCI With the Princess Royal of bitleitt- RN is yet to place, surd that the union ',finally arranged. The rnesent of his Royal Highness in -Council, and of her Serene Highness, has undergone sin chance by the proceeding in the House of Com mons. The Princess is to have the ceremony of a marriage by wog before she embarks for England. The British Minister et Stutgard is to be Ms Royal I 1 ghno.,•4 proxy. neje. Royal Highnesses, like other Nuung entr tes, are to trust to events for for. tune and happiness. The Courier, " still harping on ay daughter," continnes to dilate on the 66 leigriooll consesinewces that must flow" from withholding tba weir de. wands of the Royal Doke. ; and it is insiesited with equal modesty, that though Lord HOLLAND'S ob• serration was t-oe, that the funds already at the dis. posal of the Crown, for the support of its dignity and splendour, is not less than a Mir.uosr Sterling, yet 'has that million ought to be TWO, as the Re• venneg of the Crown are now fixed, and not so ins. provenbie as in former reigns! The establishment of son e other fv , .(l is also earnestly recommended for the exclusive use of the Royal Family, to keep them from the humiliations and enquiries attendant upon their begging appeals to Parliament. Mot would the Courier think of a Royal " Saving Butt" fo► this purpose ? The Roses and the rest of the in. venrors and patrons of this banking system, have ,saved • good deal. We would recommend it to the serials: attenoion of such Princes as mean to marry young wives et a late period, for the benefit of pos. verity, and ire afraid of humiliations; for a scheme which is represented as so beneficial to the poor, who have nothing to save in this world, and every thing to fear, cannot be a bad one for those who have millions running through their bands, yet are in perpetoal debt and poverty. The subject of Crown Lands, and the meritorious practice of privately disposing of them to Crown end Ministerial supporters, instead of by public auction, noticed last night and on a former evening in the Rouse of Commons, might afford abundant ground for remark, in connection with the views of the de. predated state of Crown property and Royal reve nues. But we must meat pass from these topics and the eeplanations attempted to be given of the male of sales now adopted in this respect, to call the Reader's attention to Mr. BROUGHAM'S mo tion last night on the education of the Poor, the *braes of Funds appropriated t• that wpm, and tie talent, research, and eloquence, displayed in his speeciv in this trot) , good cause. Seldom has that of Education had a more able advocate. How far his statements may be correct we cannot take upon our selves to decide, but if the fends applicable to cha ritable purposes amount, as he assutnerto be the fact, to between a million and a half add two mil lions, while only 258.0001. have been accounted for, wined!, il.e subject deserves to be looked into, and Mr. iiItOVGRAII merits the best acknowledgments of humanity and the country for having taken it up. On the commitment of the But,, several Gentlemen proposed the exemption of different Schools: this caused Mr. BROUGUAM to observe, that be feared the Bill, instead of being one of en quiry, would become one of exemption from enquiry. At length Mr. ROSINION moved to exempt Harlow School; but the motion was lost by a majority of 23 ; there being for the motion 30, and *phut it 53. . The Bill then went through the Committee, was re-. ported, and the Report ordered to be received on Friday. It wee threw greed, on the motion of Mr: BILOVOIIMMI, that the Committee be instructed to en. quire into the Education of the Poor in Scotland. We have received the French Papers and private , communications from Paris to the 7th inst. In the ! Chamber of Peers, on Monday, the Bill for the ti. quidation of the Foreign Claims, on the recommenda tion of a Special Commission, to which it Ind been referred, was adopted without any amendment. It was, in fact, u the King would denominate it, an other 66 brilliant Sitting," for out of 106 Members present, not one dissentient voice was heard, the same patriotic silence being preserved as marked the proceeding of the Chant •r of Deputies. On the same day the Bill for a Loan of 195,000 f. for completing the works of Havre, sad those for completing the mg of La Senses, and vsecting a bridge over the Dor. dogne, were presented by the Minister of the Interior and ordered to be printed. The Chamber of Dem., ties bad nothing of general interest before them in their last sitting. A Petition front several French men who had perchesed national domains in the Elec. torate of Hesse, from which they had been ejected bj the Elector's Decree of the 14th of January; 1814, , was referred to the Minister for Foreign Affairs. Among the notices of important mots at Court, an Immo of Louis's coodoscousioa to • folloncr ~. _. . . . _ . of the Mews aid himself, is mentioned pompously .►►oagb. Os Mouday his Majesty gave a private &adieu* to a M. sox CHSZETE, and was graciously pleased to listen to his own praises in rhyme, set forth very becomingly in a long-winded ode, no doubt in Mr. SOUTHEY'S laureate style, upon the annivervry of his Majesty's entry into Paris, cod which his Majesty, who loves loyal, poetry almost as well as good eating, was, of course, graciously pleased to approve " in the most nattering man ner." Wbo will not say that Louts is a patron of of the Muses, ass sects as ally AUGUSTUS of the pre sent day ? —. The foreign pews in these Papers is, hi some par ticulars, more-corioes than important. We are in- , formed, for instance, that the Catholics of Paleitlne are in a state of consternation, is of the Oriental Greeks basing taken exclusive possession of the Holy Sepulchre. The. Abbe Fottaiu-JAusox had been sent by the different Catholic Communities in the Holy Land to Constantinople, to complain to the Turkish Government of this violation of their rights, cad to reclaim the keeping of the tomb of Java Cullum.. The quasi between these parties is not so much a point of religious attachment as a mat ter of interest. The Emperor ALEXANDER, it is said, will leave Warsaw oo the 12th instant, to make an excursion as far as Odessa, to review different corps of the Russian army ; end he is expected to return to biol. cow by the 25th. The Bremen Gazette has been subjected to a censorship, in consequence of en ar ticle showing the impolicy of leaving France in possession of Strasbargb, one of the key. of Ger many. The.new Constitution of Bavaria is expected to be promulgated oq the 27th instant. By the German Papers which have arrived, we, find that the King of PRUSSIA is very angry at the petitions of his subjects which remind him of his promises to give them a Representative Constitution. The People of Coblents (at one time the focus of other principles) have received a very sharp rebeke for a petition, praying his Prussian Majesty for the performance of his promise in this respect. This Sovereign, who boasts so much of his fidelity, though be admits his promise and acknowledges his oblige tioe, insists on his superior right to judge of the time and circumstances which may justify the me ditated innovation, and blames, and would no doubt pump water too if be could on his subjects for bank ing their petition about the country for signature; declaring that he would not tolerate the " excitement to petition," of which he regarded this proceeding is an evidence. No excitement, however, it seems, is yet strong enough to induce his Prussian Majesty to do what he himself acknowledges to be just and right. Notice was this day given at the Stock Exchange, that all Bills dated in May, 1817, will be paid off ; the interest to be computed to the sth day of June inclusive. No Bills will be received after the sth of June, when the interest will cease. If any holders of the aforesaid Bills should be desirous of receiving payment of the principal and interest previous to the sth day of June, they may be, accommodated, on computing the interest to the day on which they wish to be' paid, and leaving the said Bills one day prior thereto. Such persons as may be desirous of having new Exchequer Bills, in whole or part of payment of principal, may be accommodated, by giving in their list on or before the2Bth May. The new Bills will be dated the sth day of June, and ready for delivery the 6th day of June and following days. Yesterday morning, about a quarter past three o'clock, the Prince of Hessz-Ilostaueo left the Queen's Palace to proceed to Portsmouth, where he was expected to be received by Commissioner GREY, who is to convey his Serene Highness to the Isle of Wight. It is stated that the agents of a foreign Power (Spain is no doubt alluded' to) are treating for, if they have not already concluded, the purchase of the Royal George Indiaman, and that they have also made applications to the owners of other vessels of theocrat class. It bas been matter of astonishment, that the promoters of the PRINCE REGENT'S Proele. Ovation, issued on the 7th Nov. ult. should now be actively employed in the means of - infringing it ; and in the City great offence has been taken, that propo. salt should be made, which, directly or indirect!), havle for object to exclude our Merchants from the esarkets of South America, as it is suspected that ships are intended to replace the Russian fleet. *A linguist , esplanation is about to trite place in the Scotch Court of Judicature, Edinburgh, under iebose the technical term of a Trial of Truth. The par ties concerned in this curious investitation, are an eminent Banker in Edinburgh, and a Writer to the Signet end Law Agent to the Peisley Union Bank and Company. In a paragraph which appeared in air Paper of Saturday last, upon the Southwark - Election, it was stated that Mr. BARCLAY had voted in favour of the Corn Bill, and having been called upon to contradict that statement, we find, upon reference to the Parliamentary reports, that Mr. BARCLAY took his seat on the 21st of February, and voted on the 23d for the Committee to take the Corn Bill into con. sideration—on the lath, upon the Resolution tofu the price at 80s. or 725., Mr. B. voted for 72. t.

The Prisoner was so near t• Lord P. as almost to touch him. If the pistol had been landed with ball it might have passed through him. Witness never saw Prisoner before, to the best of his knowledge. The Primmer did not show any symptom of a wish to eservie alter the that was fired; but witness was so near him that he could not have escaped. Thomas Scowcroft, a private In the second regiment of Life guards, was on duty on the Bth A pril host.
