The Gaseqe de France contains n partial account of the Resolution !u Naples, but cotnnitini eutes very little in addi;ion to those details which have itheady appeartd. It seams that the Patriots ut Nola and Avelino were joined, on the night of the L'th inst. by the C.:m.6°1147h of Naples, and obliged the King to promise to proclaiM the Constitution within a catuin time. His Majesty was about to &part fur Trieste, but relinquished his intention in consequence of the supplication of the Hereditary Prince. Such persons as were detained in prison for thair political opinions were enlarged by the Patriots, and carried in triumph through the streets. The news from Spain is peculiarly gratifying. The aurier Francois gives particulars of the proceedings of the Cortes to the I Sth, which have not been puhlishe3 elsewhere. M. Berbaben proposed, that in the Calendar, after the name of the Saint to whom the 9th of July is consecrated, should be added there words—" The day of the roliticul regeneration of the Spanish Monarchy, and the first of the consti tutional Reign of Ferdinand V Il.."—Public prayers are almost daily offered up to Heaven, in almost -every part of France, for the happy delivery of the Duchess of Berri, and far the birth of a Prince.— The proceedings in the Court of Correctional Police, 'between Gen. Douailieu, oa the one part, and some • inhabitants of Grenoble on the other, have com menced. The General complains that these inha bitants of Grenoble calumniate his character in a petition which they had some time since'presented to the Chamber of Deputies. The trial is looked to in Paris with some degree of interest, as it is likely to throw new light Upon the occurrences at • Grenoble, which have been hitherto involved in mystery. Gen. Donadieu will plead his cause in in person. An article from Vienna states, that the Persian Ambassador arrived in that capital on the 13th inst. His Excellency is expected to make a short stay, and resume his route to Teheran, byway of Petersburgh. Accounts from Madrid of the 15th inst. announce the arrest of the Curate Ortolozzo, who, it is said, is implicated, in the conspiracy recently discovered at Seville. This Ecclesiastic, under the late system, was a zealous advocate for the King, over whom, it is alledg,ed, he exercised great influence.—The French 5 per Cents. on Wed_ ,nesday were 791.40 e. Bank Stock, 1380 f. The Queen loss engaged a Barrister of eminence, who has held a high judicial situation abroad, to pro ceed to Italy and obtain the testimony of persons to the conduct of her Majesty in all the places that she visited, and during all the time that she had been absent from England. This gentleman is pe culiarly qualified for the business, as he is familiarly acquainted with the Italian language, and with the practice of the Courts of Judicature iu that country. Admiral Sir Home Popham has arrived from Ja maica, in the Sybille frigate, in consequence of ill health. The command on that station has devolved on Captain Huhkisson, of the frigate Euryalus. Saturday, at twelve o'clock, the King, accompa nied by the 'Dukes of York, Cambridge, and Wel lington, Lord Cntlicart, and a numerous and brilliant suite of Officers, reviewed the .London and Westminster Light Horse Volunteers, on Wormwood .Serulabs. The regiment acquitted themselves very creditable. At the conclusion his Majesty rode up to Col. Bosailquet, and expressed himself much gratified with Oleic appearance. The trial of the indictment for electing a legisla tbrig attorney, will come on, Wednesday or Thurs dayinext at Warwick. Major Cartwright will be defended by Mr. Hill. a young .gentleman of con siderable promise at the bar of the Midland circuit. Wooler, Lewis, and Maddock, defend themselves. Edmonds will be assisted by Mr. Denman. After the launching of the TA:Utz/gar at Chatham, on Wednesday, there was a review of Veteran Battalion on the Lines, and the company nearly all *ambled to beLold it. Next day tLe Royal Marines quartered at Chatham were reviewed by the Duke sf Clarence. ----- I'ARY P.IPERS. RETORT neon THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON TILE STATE OV LONDON-BRIDGE.

CERNING CHARITI ES. To the King's must excellent Majesty. We, the Commissioners named and appointed by your Majes ty's commission, under the great seal, bearing date the 16th day of July.in the 59th year or your Majesty's reign, issued in pursu ance of two several acts of purliament, the one made and passed in the 54th year of your Majesty's reign, entitled "An Act for appointing commissioners to in concerning charities in England for the education of the poor;" and the o,her made and prised in the 59th year of your Majesty's reign, entitled, •• An Act to amend an Act of the last session of Parliament, fbr appointing commissioner: to inquire concerning charities in England fur Ise education of the poor, and to extend the powers the.euf to o; her charities in Englund and Wales"— lie humbly report as folio : In pursuance of the powers vested in us by these acts, five Weals wine funned, each consisting of two comuti.ibioners, one of which boards proceeded into Soniersetshire, another into Deion• shire. a third auto Yotlcsiiire, a lcurth into Lancashire and Cum. berland, and the fifth into Shropshire and Stafibrelshire. A few exaniinatiohs have also taken place in Oxfordshite and Notting hamshire, but no case from tidier of the hest-mentioned counties is contained in the present report. Some further progress have been made in the examination of charities in the metropolis and its neighbourhood ; and we are enabled to include in this report the cases in Sussex, which were wanting to complete the investi. gation of the enarities for education in that county. The in , estigation of many charities, in addition to those now reported, has been neatly completed, but, for want of further information. they are reserved Lir a future report. Where there are several charities in die same parish, and the inquiry into one or more of the principal of them is incomplete, it tuts in some installers been thought advisable to keep back the whole till an entite view could be given of the charitable lands in that place. It is tbr this reason Oat lime of the charities.examined in Staf fordeitire or Oxfordshire arc contained in this report. We think it our duty to observe, that the irregularity which frequently occurs in filling up the places of deceased trustees is productive of great inconvenience, the management of charitable funds being in many instances, by this omission, thrown into the hands of persons who are invested with no legal authority. In the case of the small charities, the formal appointment of new trustees, by regular instruments, is often prevented by the want of funds to detrey the expense. It seems, theretbre highly desirable that some easier and less expensive mode should be de sited of perpetuating such trusts. We have found muck mischief resulting front the practice of placing money destined to charitable uses upon private security, and still more from leaving it in private hands at interest, with • out any security. By referring to the cases reported numerous imtances will be seen of chartable funds lost by these means, and it uppeura to us much to be wished that some power should exist, nutlet due modifications. of enforcing the invustment of such funds upon proper security. The observations which have arisen upon the individual chari ties will be found in the separate reports of each place. January 11, Ib2o.

It appears, by a letter received from an officer on hoard his Majesty's ship Leven, that the experiments proposed by Mr. Barlow, of the Royat Military Academy, for correcting the effects of local attraction, have been attended with the best pers. sible anecess. It is slated, that, in a run of 18:1 between the -2241 and 23d of May, the error by the com mon reckoning amounted to 19 23 minutes In longitude, making au entire difference of at least 34 miler in distance; whereas the reckoning kept agreeably to the course corrected by Mr. Barlow's Wino produced au error of only 2 minutes in laiittide, and 4 minutes in longitude. The particulars are stated as fol low; place by observation May 23:—. Lat. 3i deg. 39 N. Lung. 10 deg. 58 W. by common reck oning. Lat. 38 deg. 58 N. Long. 11 deg. 25 W. by corrected course. Lat. 38 deg. 41 N. Long. 11 deg. 2. W. Similar experiments were made on Monday last, in oar hat boor, by order of the Admiralty, by Mr. Barlow, on board his Mqiesty's ship Conway (Capt. Basal Hall); and as this vessel is expected to visit satious parts of the southern hemisphere, it will completely decide the ques tion of the application of this mode of correction in all latitudes.

" for fixing the rates of subsistence to be paid to innkeepers and others, on quartering soldiers," the sum tit Is. 2d. per day is to be paid tir the diet of noncommissioned officers and soldiers ; and Is. per day for hay and straw tier horses.
