The majesty of the ceremony, the elegance and beauty of the (new) hall, t' e pre. sence of the Mntioters, the Chancellors of the Or. dere, the Counrillots of State, and the Diplomatic .

The Second Chamber adjourned till eleven o'clock to-morrow morning. The Government is making great efforts to im. prove the port of Ostend. Above a thousand work. men are employed In digging, and in making a sluice to aepolate the ebb and Cow, which will render this port more safe, and greatly facilitate the comma. catinns between Belgium and England.

If I can depend upon the information I have received, the ceded district does not contain a population of more than 3,600 souls. The posses. eines; of Baden will descend to the family of Flock. btog without any dimtemb'erment of the Palatinate. —lf such is the decisinn of Congress, it appears ex traordinary that Austria or Bavaria sheltie resign so eavilt P 0 rich a succession ; and the detkion can only 14 attributed to the powerful interference of Russia. • ~~. sr I CO & ?

In the morning there was a grand re view of the little army of horse, foot guards, and are tiller'', which composes the prvison,attended by their Imperial Majesties of Russia end Austria, sod the King of Prussia; the Grand Dakes Constantine and Michael, the Prince of Orange, the Prince of Meek leriberg, the Duke of Wellington, several Russian and other Princes, and a great body of General Offiders attached to the suites of the Monarchs: the Prancers of Tour and Taxis, the King of Prussia's sitter-in. la w,was likewise ou the field, with several other ladies of distinction. The review began shout nine o'clock. ft took place on the road, and in some fields and broken . ground east of the gate of St. Adelbert.— After performing several - stanaeovres, the little army defiled before the Sovereigns into a How or field, hemmed in on one side by a ranee . ' tot , trees, where the infantry drew up in a hollow Ware. * An altar had been previously erected, 'surmounted with a crucifix (is this Protestant ?)„ and a Protest ant Clergyman attended in his canonicals to perform Divine Service. The Sovereign , and their suites, 'who had dismounted outside of the field, took their slogan in the middle of the stymy, on foot, and •ith their beads °pestered ; and the Ctoro man, alter reading prayers and j:* ' g in the Te Deana, chant.l 1 tot by a band of young singers, delivered an adivefej to the brilliant assemblage, and offered up a prayirl to Heavy, y suited to the -cession of the anniver sar y ' which thefestival was intended to commemorate. When the genice was , coricluiled, the troops raised a • huzsa,and the cannon s tationed at a little distance fired' several rotunda. rie Monarchs and their seizes then mounted their horse+, and the troops again defiled before them. At two o'clock a grand dinner was given to thrinilitary officers now in Aiz.la.Chspetle, in the hallo! the Hotel ee Ville, where the Emperors formerly were accustomed to entertain the Prince. and the Elector% on their Coronation. There went about a hundred persons present. The three Mo t narcha honoured the c"mpany with their presence, and were lousily shouted at their arrival .and dews ture. Madame Cltelarti had announced a concert for the erelong, which was put off tiff to-day, owing to an expressed iweallinti of fhb Soiereigne to attend the Theatre, where the - piece of Jean de Poi: was ordered for them, and where great crowds had assembled toter them. The two Emperors had not yet been there, though the King had ordered dancers, from Paris to amuse them; nor did they - come me night, being probably fatigue.' with the beeriness of, dining and reviewing. The King Of-Prussia nil present in a private boa, bis Majesty having pro. bably requested the Doke 4 wdri, 4 4.,6 to .4 7 , of his own, which his 'Grit* iceardittgly (wen , accompanied by three or fast Ladies: The Hotel de Ville was illuininated in the evening, and torches were placed on the corners of the greet Fountain,' surmounted with the bust of Charlemigne, and pea the pedestals of the two eagles On each side of him. The device in the litter case was awkward, as It seemed intended only to singe the wings of there nobie birds. The persons of the civil service • here, dined, at Louisberg, which was likewise illurriinated. Many of the French, who could not relish these festivities, iu celebration of a great victory gained over their arms, left town, and hid their 'feelings for the day, in conntry retirement. C'est un horrear, they evil claimed, to celebrate, under the eye of the Duke el Richelieu and the French Legation, a triumph gained , over their country, while making a Treaty of lasting peace with that country. It was certainly ill judged and indelicate, if the Duke was present at the review, (as he is said to have been, though we did not see him), to play the march of the 66 Downfall of Paris". It was remarked at the review, that the Duke of Wellington was generally by the side of the Emperor , Alexander, and enjoyed the greatest share of his con- versation. During the last three days Lord Castlereagh has bad several confidential conferences with Prince ilardettberg, reported to be on the subject's! the lase Prussian commercial regulations. .

MILMAN." tier MAixsTY, it appears, continues alarmingly indisposed. The little rest which she obtains has no effect in affording her relief. The symptoms are en incessant cough, accompanied with much pain and fever. She has suffered so much for the last three days, and the exhaustion arising from the want of sleep is so great, that the most serious apprehensions are entertained of her approaching demise. It is obvious that each return of the malady is accompanied by incrresed weakness, and consequently the case becomes more hopeless.

The army in the Deckan had gone into cantonments to avoid the rains, and for repose after their long end fatiguing warfare. B.IDJEE RAO was a fugitive, and was said to bare taken refuge in the fort of Asseer Ghat.. Ile had made offers to surrender himself on conditions to Sir JOHN M ALCOLM. All the Jegiteardars or Chiefs had returned to their homes, and the country promised to be quiet, except from a few discontented intriguers, who had not influence or power to annoy the Go , moment. Some few forts still held out in the Kan deish, where the Arabs had taken refuge, and st one of them, Mallee Guam, the army had suffered some loss, but a strong battering train had been seat thither, by which it would soon be reduced. • We have received some interesting intelligence re specting the state of affairs on the Spanish Main, in Letters and Papers from Trinidad to the 16th Sept from which we have made extracts. The particulars of the capture of Geri,la by the flotilla under Admiral Bawl( are among the details thus furnished. The attack and defence appear to have been maintained with the most desperate valuer. In several instances no quarter was given. The whole of the crew be longing to a principal ship of the Patriots were put to the sword by the Royalists, who had effected a boarding, whilst the troops in the Spanish fort and gon.boats were indiscriminately massacred. Some of the Orinoko Journals have also reached us, together Kith a Royal Order from the. Spanish Government, respecting the •pprellenJed rupture with the United States. These various statements correct many of the confused details which have reached this country through the American Journals, and priye that the cause of freedom and independence goes on in the province of Veneinela with a firm and steady step. — New Granada holds, out the most. flattering hopes of liberation, as Gen.
