Lon Don. SUNDAY, 74.‘y 16, 1819. ♦Ve have this morning received Hamburgh Papers of the 7th May, from which we extract the follow- ingr: .. 0 Hatfortra, MAY 4.—The Duke of Clarence, ac comranied by his brother in law, the Duke of Saxe Menningen, returned from Celle, where they had inspected the troops, and visited several public esta blishments Her Royal Highness flub Duchess of Clarence goes nn fast towards recovery. She has been out several times. The King of Prussia has purchased the superb hotel of the Russian Ambassador at Berlin, for 80,000 dollars, for an official occupation. Pchange on London—May 4, 33 44, 33 74 Mey 7, 33 4, 93 7. Yesterday we received Brussels Papers to the I I th instant. The prominent part of their contents relate to the affairs of Sweden. A rrangemenis are alluded t as having been proposed, but they are stated to have been peremptorily rejected. The King of Sweden frequently assembles the Council of State ; and it is obser red the 'Minister of Russia is invited lessirequently than formerly to the parties of the I.linister for Foreign Affairs. This coolness has, together with other circumstances, given rise to t. variety of sweetish and conjeetures. Some suppose that there is a serious the Emperor of Russia and the King of Sweden. preparatory to a negociation to induce Charles John to quit the throne of Sweden. An overture to this effect, it is said, has been made to him, but we can not give credit to the report, or that such a measure could ever be in the contemplation of the Holy Al liance. Ile has been called to the throne by the voice of the people. aed there he ought to remain undisturbed, without the interference of any foreign Power whatever. The measures taking for the de fence of the kingdom are proceeding with activity — there is a plan for erecting an immense fortress in the very heart of Sweden. All this seems to indi cate, that the Government has some fears for the future. On the other hand, the family of the de throned King are said to be soliciting the protection of a great Power tor the young Prince Gustavus. — These Papers say, on the authority of a letter from Nlanheim, that andt, the murderer of Kotzebue, is dead. The French papers to the 10th have just been received. The following are extracts:— PARIS, MAY D.—Yesterday before mass this King ' gave a yrivato anclieure to the Sicilian Ambassador, who presented a letter from his Sovereign, notifying the mar riage concluded between the Infant of Spain, Dun Francis Paul, and the Princess LAIIiSA Charlotte of the Two Sici• lies. His Majesty afterwards received the Ambassadors, Grand Dignitaries, Ministers, Marshals, Am The King also recei v ed a Deputation film the Chamber Depu ties, who delivered the projet respecting the transit through Alsace. The works are conthined at St. Cloud, and it is still said, that his Majesty will reside there during a part of the summer. __......_ _ _ 'flit celebrated composer, Beethowan, has bun ap pointed Maitre de Chapelle t• theArcbduke Rodolphe, Archbishop of °lnuits.

The report is renewed of tho aiiproaihing estahliahnient of a national representation in Prassin. • " ' Negoeiations are on foot to tstablish commercial rela tions bettNeen Prussia and the Brazils. VIENK.4, APRIL appears certain, that the two Prin , twin daughters of the King of S.,ldinia. Mai:a There►a, and Mall& Anna (born at Rome the 19iii Sep tember, 18d:!), will be mutt led, one to the King of Spain, anti the other to the sou of the Duchess of Lucca, ci•uevaut Queen of Errol-la. A Russian Cottrler, who has passed through this city on his way to Italy, is the bearer, it is said, of orders to Count Capo d'lsWa, to return imnied.ately to Petri sls limb; but some say, that he is previously to go to Paris on a 'nig r•ion from the Einpei or of Russia. Prince Leopold is expected in England soon after the ..oth instant. It is reported that the Earl of Fife is to have the green riband vacant by the death of the Duke of Buceleugh. It is generally believed that Mr. Vansittart, after bringing forward the Budget, and providing for the Ways and Means of the year, will resign the situa tion of Chancellor of the Exchequer. It is not understood, however, that he is to be succeeded by Mr. Peel. A letter from Washington, giving an outline of the Treaty lately concluded with Spain. says— " The 24th January, 1819, is selected for regulat ing the validity of grants by Spanish authority; all before that day are declared valid by the Treaty, all subsequent to that duy are void." Letters have reached us from Trinidad, dated the 2d of April. They announce the arrival in the Gulph nt Paria, of the Francis and other transports, with the remainder of the British volunteers under Colonel English. They were instantly to proceed to Maigaretta, •to join the Expedition preparing there against the Main. The opportunity, it is said, was never more favourable for putting a ter mination to the contest. The main body of the Spanish troops, under General Martin is at least 500 mils from the sea coast, entangled in the ‘vorsls of Aranea, and rut off from all irs principal commu nications by the Independent forces. Alaajmters IN Hie .Los.--Ca morning were married, at thep ßv ar e ish .m eh r ur uod chof tio S n t : George, Hanover - square, by the the Earl Tetaple, to Lady Mary Campbell. After the ceremony the new married pair set off fur Stowe, the seat of the, Marquis of Buckingham.—Also, at St. Jamei's church, by the very Rev. the Dean of Canterbury, the Hon. Mr. Neville, eldest son of Lord RI avbrooke, to Lady Mary, second daughter of the Marquis Cornwallis. The happy pair, after the cerem ny, proceeded to Saffron Walden the scat of Lord Braybrooke. On Thursday, Maely Woolf, Lewis Levy, and John Kinnear, convicted of conspiracy to defraud certain merchants and tradesmen, were brought into the Court of King's Bench, and received the fol lowing sentences:—Woolf to be imprisoned in the county gaol of Middlesex for two years, and to pay a fine of 10,0001.; Lewis Levy to be imprisoned two years in Gloucester gaol, eel to pay a fine of 5,0031.; and John Kinnear to be imprisoned two years in Ilchester gaol. The person who arrived at the Admiralty from Liverpool with the new invented cannon and car riage, we are informed has given general satisfaction to the officers appointed by the Ordnance ; we are glad to hear this, as it gruatly diminishes labaur and danger, which are two material points in gunnery.

The persons to be employed" in this arduous undertaking, it is said, are selected ; and, from tae assistance of the i>:or+h Americ.in tribes, evelyt prospect of success is enter.ained.

Lied month the Commissary of the Receiver for the Arroadissement of Gien was assassinated. He had to pay to the Receiver General of the Depart ment of the Loire a sum of 24,000 francs. The Gend'armes,. who were to have escorted him arrived in the morniag before the house, found the door open, the house deserted, and the chest broken open and robbed. At first the Commissary himself was suspecied of being the thief; but search being made, his deitil body was found on the banks of the Loire, tied Inlet and foot, with a r a g in the mouth, and the skull fractured. Suspicion hits fallen on Lia domestic, who has disappeared. The Gazette de France says, the English Govern ment t'as called for the sole heir of the immense for tune held by Courtois, the old French Barber, who died lately in London. The fnrruna'e heir is called Tretin, and has hitherto lived painfully in Nugent sur-Seine, on the pittance arising from a small em ployment id' the Consolidated Taxes. He has set off to take possession of his great property. Papers down to the Ist of the present month have arrived from Switzerland and the interior of Ger many. It appears that a formal overture has been made by an agent of the King of Portugal to the Swisa Government, for taking into his Majesty's ser vice, in the Brazils, a body of Swiss, on the basis of the Capitulation between that Government and the King of the Netherlands. The differences between the l.ourts of Berlin and Hesse Cassel are said to be nearly adjusted, and important diplomatic corn munications are spoken of as having been made at Cassel. It is surprising that the Vice Society, instead of declaring war against the retailers of a pint of porter or a mutton chop to a hungry customer, on the Lord's day, do not exert themselves to put down realtz;ng, which all must agree is inconsistent with the decency and decorum of the English character. Letters and papers from Cadiz to the 21st, and from Madrid to the 27th ult., have'reached town. The contents of the former are interesting. It seems that the Spanish Government had made great exer tions to forward the departure of the expedition, and in consequence of instructions from Madrid, a con siderable number of troops had been put on board several of the ships of the line, and it was expected nt Cadis that these would have sailed for South America before the smaller vessels. An order had, however, unexpectedly reached Cadis, directing that the soldiers who had been embarked should be dis embarked. This circumstance has excited considera ble sensation, and numerous were the conjectures as to the cause of this sudden alteration of the deter mination of the Government. It was affirmed that the troops and vessels of war were detained in con sequen‘e of the arrival of the despatches by the Sa bina frigate. Letters from Manheim of the 2d instant state, that a Committee was sitting to inquire into the late conduct of the Students at Heidelberg. ito.ll g I j 4;z1L1.11.1 WHITEHALL. MAY 14.
