SLYLY 25. PARIS. JULY '2O.—A ship of the hoe, of 74 guns, anti t fee. pates, are fitting out at Toulon ; 3 other vessels are expected front Rochefort. This smal mpiudron will proceed, it is said, to Gibraltar, and unite with some English ships, in order to civir the sews of the American Insurgent privateers. It is reported that the Count Jc Cazes will succeed the Duke de Richelieu, in the dignity of first Gentleman of the Chamber. Fut:NCli Fus.us.—Five per cents, iif. 40c.; Bank Stock, 1,441 If. ROME, JULY 4.—The Princess of Wales has quitted Pesaro. This sudden and romantic departure has given rise to a thousand conjectures. lice ferunie de Uhantbre obtained passports fur herself ;yid one of her friends ; and it is of these passports the Princess has availtd herself. lier Equerry, Fianchini Pergarni. followed her. Iler Royal Highness has taken the road towards Bologna ; I.ome IWINIM , suppose that she sisiU rota= to Pesaro. On the eve of St. Peter's day, the Pope; according to ancient custom. made a solemn protest against the non payment of tri bute from the Duchy of Parma, as a fief held of the church, and also against the neglect of the Kiog of Naples to fulfil the formalities due front him as a vassal of the Holy See. The Am • bassador of Naples absented himself front Home, as usual, on that occasion. The mountain has been in labour, the mouse has been produced; the meeting in Smithfield, under that superior blackguard Hunt, has taken place—has ! passed resolutions,—and thanks to the prudential precautionary measures that were taken, the ex pectations of the promoters of the meeting have been disappointed; neither murder nor pillage has been allowed for a moment to stalk about in derision of law, honesty, and respectability. Ve have, indeed, very little respect fur the memory of that sur,nle, courtier-like Judge, Lord Ellenborough, vet we may be allowed, in this age of parodies, to gic•e utterance to a parody on his exclamation of Well, protest, and go about your business." If these Smithfield Resolutionists will " resolve and go peaceably about their business," really only those whose poor-rates may be increased by the " greasy rogues" neglecting their labour have a right to com plain. In another part of our Paper will be found the particulars of the proceedings of these " Radical lioformers." The Prince Regent held a Court on Friday, which was numerously attended. General Nightingale was introduced and invested with the insignia of the Order of the Bath. Baron Just, the Saxon Minister, had the honour of an audience of his Royal Highness. The Prince Regent afterwards held a Privy Council, at which Sir Samuel Shep herd; the Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer in Scotland, was introduced, and sworn in a Nlember, and took his seat at the board accordingly. At the close of the Council, the Recorder of - London was introduced, and made his report of the convicts ca pitally convicted at the last Session, at Justice hall, in the Old May: The Court broke up a little before 6 o'clock. Prince Leopold's grand party on Thursday night was attended by the Prince Regent, the Duke and Duchess of Kent, the Duchess of York. the Princess Augusta, the Princess Sophia, the Duke and Duchess of Glueester, the Persian Ambassador, and a very numerous assemblage of nobility and gentry. The decorations were splendid : the entertainment was a concert, followed by a supper. The concert was given in the principal drawing-room, where one of the great objects of observation was a full length portrait of the late Princess Charlotte. The five Persian students sent. into this country for improvement, by their Prince, will embark in a few days, upon their return, after a residence of three years in England. One of them, Oostudc Muhommed Ali, is united to an English lady of ta• lent in the arts, a Miss Dudley, who accompanies her husband to Persia. It is given its a rumour from Brussels, that the recall of the Belgian Ambassadors from the Courts of London, the Tuileries, and Madrid, was owing to a determination of the Flemish Government to employ only Charges d'Affaires in future at the above Courts. The determination assignod to the Court of Brussels would be impolitic; and we are consequently disposed to consider the report it4elf untrue. The Flanders mails inform us, that the Prince and Princess of Orange have arrived at Spa. A Berlin article asserts, that sonic recent mea sures which have been taken in Prussia and (Aber parts of Germany, for un investigation into the proceedings and objects of certain secret societies, were prompted by the receipt of positive evidence as to their treasonable nature. The complete plan of a republican constitution for the Germans has, according to this account, been seized ; and although the students of the several universities :►re suspected to be more or less implicated in them, the suspicions of Government arc not confined to the students. On Monday Itt,t Sir Hobert Giffurd, KO. was rlecied Member of Parlianwet fur the borough of Lye, t.ithout opposition. TIDE NATIONAL REGISTER. DRURY LANE THEATRE. We copy the following paragraph from the Chro aide, but WE HAVE AUTHORITY for saying that the assertion ►t contains, that the necessary Lian subscription has been filled, is not true, and we regret that the Editor uhetild have so far misled his readers by stating what, not being the fact, must manifestly injurious to the concern, by prevouting other names being added to the Luan-subscription list. "6 The special Committee, appointed by a meeting of the Pro prietors of Drury.lanc Theater, having accomplished, through the liberality of the Creditors, the lasso, by which not only the pressittg iticumbranees on the establishment mil be removed, but tbe whole placed on a footing of stability, have also exa mined the different Tenders made for taking the Th, sore on lease; and finding Mr, Elliston's offer the highest, have re• solved to recommend him to the General Committee, as theit Tenant, on terms highly advantageous to the concern, and which we trust will secure to the public the rational entenainmeat of the British Drarnaon a well-conducted systent." A report has just reached us, which we hope may not be correct: it is, that in consequence of the rejection of an offer of rental made by Mr. Peter Moore for the Theatre, that Gentleman has declared his determination to oppose, as far as the Act may have enabled him to do so, the letting of thoTheatre to any one: It is stated in the riench papers thai Generals Grouchy, Clattsel, Lefebvre-Desnouetts, and mune other expatriated Frenchmen in the United States, are shortly expected in Belgium, where they have obtained permission .to reside. The - Qtotidienne announces, on the authority of letters from London, that " the famous Hunt intends to visit France during. the period of the elections." Extract of a letter dated I lamburgh, July 16 " Notwithstanding the severe measures adopted by the Prussian Government to prevent any communi cations getting abroad on the sultjeet of the revolu tionary machinations lately detected, it cannot fail that within a short period the public will be in possession of important intelligence relating to them, as even the Prussian official gazette confesses that they extend throughout all Germany. At Berlin, M. Jahn, and many of his scholars, are said to hive been arrested ; but the real seat of the cmispiracy will probably be discovered in some of the newly acquired provinces on the Rhine, and in that of Westphalia, where, according to the private letters, some evidences of a mutinous dispositidn have al ready been manifested. If the arfair; after all, should turn out less formidable than' had been sup posed, after the mysterious intimations in the Ber lin papers, it must be owned that they are rather calculated to encourage than to put a stop twun dertakings of the nature alluded to." Ativices from Bombay to the 23d of February have been received. Ott the 4th of that month the Fort of Newtce, after being completely invested by the force under Sir W. Keir, surrendered on condi tion of the garrison, consisting of three hundred men, being allowed to march out with thtirarnw The ordnance and stores had been again embarked fix the investment of Raree. By letters from Chi-a it was stated, that the permission to export Spanish dollars to a ccr:ain 'extent has hem' at length grant ed, and will probably be continued during the time that the present I hippo remains in office. lie is represented to be favourable to the English, and is the son of the mandarin who in 181 I was Viceroy of Canton. and who visited the English ships, and expressed his satisfaction and admiration at their appearance. The second payment on Omniutn took place on Friday. It is now ascertained, that of the loan of 12,000,0001, 7,200,0001. have been paid at the Bank, leaving 4,800,0001. for the eight instalments, still remaining, which thus cannot exceed 600,0001. ' each ; and halt' of this, it must be recollected, will he received in Exchequer-bills. A petition to the Bank is said to be in circulation at the Stock Ex change, to obtain from the - Directors the iiceommo dation, usual in former loans, of taking in the Om nium after the second inatalment, unit making fin. the holder all the remaining payments except the last. The party opposed to a rise in the lunds ap pear to dread this•measure, as they contend, that the Bank Directors, after the answer given on the 4th of June to the application made by Lord Liverpool, cuunot with justice to the public c o la - ta le this ad vantage to the contractors. The Directors, on that occasion, as they would have done at the formation of any other contract of a similar nature, and espe cially with the alterations in the state of the cur rency in prospect befitre them, very properly ref - toted to engage to take in the Omnimn ; but they did nut preclude themselves ms merchants front employing their caeital in that or any other way that might be found secure and beneficial to the proprietors whose interests were intrusted to their maaagement. In the present state of the money-market, which was never more abundantly supplied, we believe that it is a matter of perft:ct indifference whether the Bank accedes to this arrangement or not, and that the withdrawing front it 300,0001. each month (exclu sively of the exclim:l , l,db, which must be consi dered 41 already p.tid fur), eaunct produce any L 7 effect on the price of stock. The funds during Friday and the preceding day have been compara tively steady and free from fluctuation. The settle ments, both for the last account and for Uranium, are either disposed of, or carried forward to some future period; and the market gives the best evi dence of improvement—that of a slow but regular advance. thallium lvfi off at 2 premium, and Consols for the account at 70t.

Drtranrus•Fines..—On "'intraday evening about 10 o'clock, an alarming fire broke out in the shop of Mr. Kennedy, cork•cutter, in Cow-lane, which, after raging with the greatest violence, burnt down that and the two adjoining houses, before it was got under. We regret to state, that the female ser vant, who jumped out of the two pair of attars window, died on Friday morning in St. Bartholo mew's Hospital, where she bad been in a state of insensibility ever since the dreadfuleveot: • Mrs.• Kennedy, who broke her tis4la in a similar attempt; ; is doing well.. A child, .Who was migsirtg, - and sup posed to have perished, was found On morn ing, safe, in the house ofd nJighbeur.--On Friday morning, between two and three o'clock, a fire broke out in Gravel-lane, Southwark, which raged with great fury ; the houses being old, it was only by a plentiful supply of water and great exertions that the opposite premises were saved. Three houses were consumed, and the unfortunate recupiers lost all their property,. end it was with some difficulty their lives were preserved, as several leaped from the windows, without their cloaths.—During the fire an attempt was made by some thieves to enter the premises of Mr. Middleton, feilmonger, of Ber mondsey, and Mr. Beverley, of the same plane. On Sunday afternoon last, Messrs. Walker and Co.'s coach, the Comet, running between London, Little Hampton, and Bognor-rucks, was overset in the town of Arundel, and the whole of the outside passengers dashed with the greatest violence vithe earth, and dreadful to relate, Mr. Richard Payne, of Nobleestreet, Cheapside, was killed on the spot ; another gentleman was so dreadfully injures! as to be confined ever since under surgical assistance.— A Coroner's Jury have sat upon the remains of the unfortunate Mr. Payne, and have returned a ver dict of'` Accidental death," but have also though it right to find a deodand of 301. against the prot prietors of the conveythree.

They were observed in imminent danger by Mr. Francis Haughey, of Derrabee, who, regardlaas of personal risk, precipitated himself inio the stream, and with great promptness caught N:i s e Macklin, whom he brought to land in safifty Ile instantly made an alba to save Miss Ftlepli.tori, fondly hoped that he had seized her by the hair, at the moment she had sunk under the water—but when he raised his hand, he found that it only grasped a crooked comb, with which she had bound up her tresses. Mean while the body was hurried away by the retiring tide, and was not discovered until two hours u t ter the total accident, and then at a great distance from the spot where she had sunk. All aorts to restore to life this line young women, who was not more than 18 years of age, proved fruitless. On Saturday last Mr. Burgess had an interview with Lord Liverpool, at Fife-house, and s ucceeded in removing his Lordship's oljeetions to the new plan of carrying the mails in iight carriages without any passengers, at the rate of 11 miles an hone.— There will be an additional postage ; but letters may be sent at the present rate by the coaches t ith passengers. The new arrangement is to be itnine diately carried into elEat. It will save a day in the transmission of letters from Loudon to Edinburgh and Glasgow. One of the new Acts of Parliament makes the er.pyholds of Linaties liable for their deLts.
