The First Chamberlain of the King, The Dyke de DURAS. Yesterday the PRINUE REGENT held a Levee at I Carlton-house, which was very nomerouosly and !' splendidly attended. Previous to the Levee, his Royal Highness gave an audience to the Prince of WURTEMBERG. The Bavarian and Wurtemberg Ministers were in troduced to his Royal Highness by the Eli.' of La cEttpooL.

It is reporte d that a batch of Military •Baronets -- - will soon make its appearance, in which the Adjutant- General, Quarter -Master-General, and other Heads of Departments, will be.included. The appointment of Mr. Ilarrtsus to a seat in the Privy Council, is one of those gratuitous out rages of public feeling, for which it is - extremely dif-; Scutt to. discover any, adequate motive. It is im possible that any acknowledged superiority of know ledge or policy with regard to India, can, in the eyes Of Ministry, have entitled him to this elevation ; since the recant great measure concerning that coun try was framed and 'completed by this very Govern ment its defiance of 4hat Gentleman's declared opi nions. We are well aware that all regard to the principles and examples of Mr. Fox and Mr. BURLE has been completely banished ; but we never, till this occurrence, could fur a moment suppose, that the mere gratification of insulting their me mory and depredating their labours in the cause of justice and humanity, was singly, sufficient to sanc tion a measure deeply injurious to the character of its prtmatters, and highly offensive to the nation at j Lime. Such a self-devotion of character for the bar ten purpose of detracting from the authority of greet ' end good men dead, whose honest friendship and ad. ; vice can no longer embarrass, may savour of disin. ; terestedness, but very little of wisdom. Mr. HENRY ETA's left this country on Saturday last, on a mission to the Court of Persia. He goes by way of Paris, Vienna, and Constantinople. We have received from France the Tarif established at Bourdeaux, under the authority of the Duke of ANIGOULTME, which we have inserted. In all arti cles on which the ad vdoren; duty is not collected according to the invoice amount, it is regulated by a fixed price, and is not to be varied either by the difference of quality or the fluctuations Id the • market. The increase in the manufacture of woollen cloth, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, in the last year has been 2,t51,9-I 6 yards beyond - the quantity ma tsufectured in the preceding year.
