JULY 26. l'Anits, JULY 20.—A ship of the line, of 74 guns, hi gates, are fitting out at Toulon; 3 other vessels are expected fr..m Rochefort.

ROME, JULY 4.—The Princess of Wales has quitted Pesaro. This sudden and romantic departure has given ril4: Oa thousand conjectures. Her ,fellime de Chanare obtained passports for Letself and one of her friends ; and it is of these passports the Princess has availed herself. her Equerry, Fisuchini followed her. Her Royal Higlinms has ta'scn the road towards Bologna ; some persons suppose that she sill return to Pesaro. On the ere of St. Peter's day, the Pope, actoiding 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 tie Ring of Naples to fulfil the formalities due limn him as a vassal of the Holy See. The Am • bassatlar. of NaR/es absented himself from Rome. as usual, on that evasion. 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. We have, indeed, very little respect for the memory of that servile, courtier-like Judge. Lord Ellenborough, yet we may be allowed, in this age of parodies, to gi , e utterance to. a parody on his exclatnation of " Well, protest, and go about your business." If these Smithfield Ilesolationists will " resolve and go peaceably about their business," really only those whose poor-rates may Li increased by the •' greasy rogues" neglecting their labour have u right to com plain. In another part of our Paper will be found the particulars of ►ile proceedings of these " Radical Pe:imams." The Prince Regent held a Conrt on Friday, which was numerously attended. General Nightingale was introduced and invested with the insignia of the Order of the Bath. Bartht Just, the Saxon Minister, had the honour of an audience of his Royal Highnees. 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 Member, and took bis 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 ball, in the Old & iley. The Court broke up a little. before 6 o'clock. Prince Leopold's grand party on Thursday night was attended by the Priuce Regent, the Duke and Duchess of Kent, the Duchess of York. the Princess Augusta, the Princess Sophia, the Duke and Duchess of Glucester, the Persian Ambassador, and a very numerous assemblap of nubility and gentry. The decorations were splendid : the entertainment was a anwert, 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 scut 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, Oostude Multommed Ali, is united to an English lady of ta lent in the arts, a Miss Du3ley, who aacompanics her husband to Persia. It is given as 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'Afaires in future at the above Courts. The determination assigned to the Court of Brussels would be impolitic; and we are consequently disposed to consider the report itself untrue. The Flanders mails inform us, that the Prince and Princess of Orange have arrived at Spa. A Berlin article asserts, thnt some recent mea sures which have been taken in Prussia and other parts of Germany, for an 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 p!an of a republican constitution for the Germans has, according to this account, been seized; and although the students of the several universities are suspected to be more or less implicated in them, tie suspicions of Government ate not confined to :he students.

We copy the following paragraph from the Chro nicle, but WE HAVE AUTHORITY for saying that the assertion it contains, that the necessary Loan subscription has been filled, is not true, and we regret that the Editor should have so fir misled hit readers by stating what, not being the fact, must bt. manifestly injerious to the concern, by preventing other names being added to the Loan-subscription "The Special Committee, appointed by a meeting of the Pro• prictors of Drury lane Theatre, having accomplished, through the liberality of the Creditors, the Lnan, by which not only the pressing incumbrances on the establishment wid be removed, but the whole placed nn a footing of stability, have also exa mined the different Tending made for taking the Theatre on lease; and finding Mr. Elliston's offer the highest, have re• solved to raommend him to the General Committee, as their Tenant, on terms highly adventa.4cous to the concern, and which we trist •will secure to the pittiliz the rational entertainment of the British Dram:ton a well-conducted system." • • 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, u far as the Act may have enabled him to do so, the letting of the Theatre to any one. It is stated in the French papers that Generals Grouchy, Clausel, Lefebvre-Desnouetts, and some other expatriated Frenchmen in the United States, are shortly expected in Belgium, where they have obtained permission to reside. The Quoliclienne announces, on the authority of letter 3 from London, that " the famous Hunt iatervis to %Lift France during the ~7eriod of the electim.i." Extract of a letter dated Hamburgh, Je'y 16 : " Notwithstanding the severe measures adopted by the Prussian Governtnent to prevent any communi cations getting abroad on the subject cf the revolu tionary machinations lately detected, it cannot fail that within a short period the public will be iu possession cf importwit intelligenze relatia , to them, as even the Prussia!' oiScial gazette contesses that they extend throughout all Garrasey. At Berlin, M. Jahn, and many or his scholars, are sail to have been arrested ; but the real seat of the conspiracy will probably be tillzovered in some of the newly acquired provinces on the Rhine, and in that of Westphalia, where, according to the.privese letters, some evidences of a mutinous disposition have al ready been manifested. If the affair, after all. should turn out less formidable than had been sup posed,• after the mysterious intimation., in the Per lin papers, it must be owned that they are rather calculated to encourage than to put a stop to un dertakings of thenature alluded to." Advices from Bombay to the 231 of February have been received. On the 4th of that month the Fort of Newtee, after being completely invested by the force under Sir W. Kcir, surrendered OR condi tion of the garrison, consisting of three hundred men, being allowed to march out with their aunts The ordnance and stores had been again embarked for the investment of Raree. By letters from Chi^a it was stated, that the permission to export Spanish dollars to a certain extent has boon at leze,,;th grant. ed, urid will probably be continued during the time that the present Hopp° remains in ()Clive. He is represented to be favourable to the English, and is the son of the mandarin who in 1811 was Viceroy of Canton. and who visited the. Engli.:ll ',hip', and expressed his satistiiction and admiration at their appearance. _ _ The second p iyment on Omnium took place on Friday. It is now ascertained, that of the loan of 12,n00,G001 , 7,200,000 i. have been paid at the Bunk, leaving 4,800,0001. for the eight instalments, still remaining, which thas cannot exceed tiO:►,001l. each ; and half of this, it must be recollected, will be 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 accorerno dation, usual iu former loans, of taking iu the Om nium after the second instalment, and- making for the holder all the remaining payments except the last. The party opposed to a rise in the tuads 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, cannot with justice to the public concede this ad vantage to the contractors. The Director..., on that occasion, as they would have done at the formation of any other contract of a similar nature, and espe emily with the alterations in the state of the cur , rency in prospect before them, very properly refused to engage to take in the (Minium ; but they did not preclude themselves as merchants from employing their capital in that or any other way that might be found secure and beneficial to the proprietor: whose interests were intrusted to their management. In the present state of the maney-market, which was never more abundantly supplied, we believe that it is a matter of perfect inditrerence whether the Bank accedes to this arrangement or not, end that the withdrawing front it 800,0001. each niJath (exclu sively of the exchequer-bills, which must be cowl dercd as already paid for), cannot produce any £..7 effect on the price of stock. rie fitais daring Friday and the preceding day have been com:mra lively steady and free from fluctuation. The is,Atle ments, both for the last account nod for Oinn:uni, are either disposed of, or carried forward to some future period ;, and the market gives the best evi dence of itnprovernent—that of a slow but regiAar advance.

Flagt—Oa Thursday 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 feniale ser vant, who jumped out of the two pair of stairs window, died on Friday morning in St. Bartholo mew's Hospital, where she had been in a state of insensibility ever since the- dreadful event. Mrs. Kennedy, who broke her thigh in a similar attempt, is•doing well. A child, who was missing, and sup posed to have perished, was found on Friday moro ing, safe, in the house of a neighbour.—On Friday morning, Let tvecu two and three o'clock., a lire broke out in Gravel-lane, Southwark, which raged with great fury ; the houses being old, it was only by a plentiful supply of wa►er and great exertions that the opposite preini4es were saved. Three houses were consumed, and the unfortunate c ecupiers 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, fellinonger, of Ber mondsey, and Mr. Beverley, of the same plume On Sunday afternoon last, Messrs. Walker anti Co,'s coach, the Comet, running between London, Little Hampton, and Bognor-rocks, was overset in the town of Arunclel, and the whole of the outside passengers dashed with the greatest violence to the earth, and dreadful to relt,te, Mr. Richard Payne, of Noble -street, Chenpside, was killed on the spot; another gentleman was so dreadfully injured as to be confined ever since tan ter 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 SUL against the prvt prietors of the conveyance. . .

Mary Templeton, daughter of Mr. Thomas Tem pleton, of North-street : and Miss Mary Matllia, daughter of Mrs. Macklin, of Sugar Wand, Tito ceeded to the Green Bank, fix the purpose of bath. ing It is supposed that Coe young ladies had entered into the current of the river, and had been hurried into deep water. 'they wc,..e observed in imminent danger by Mr. Francis Haughey, of Derraliee, who, regardless of personal !LA:, precipitated himself into the stream, and with great yromptness caught Miss Macklin, whom he brought to land in satiny Ile instantly made au eflZatt to save Miss Templeton, and fondly hoped that he had seized 11.. r b . ) the hair, at the moment she had stink under tile water—but when he raised his hand, he thund that it only grasped a crooked comb, with whielt she had bound up her tresses. Mean while the body was hurried away by the retiring title, and was not discovered until two hones after the fatal accident, and then at a great distance Irwin the spot where she had sunk. All efforts to restore to life this fine young woman, who was not more than IS years of age, proved fruitless. On Saturday lust Mr. Burgess had an interview with Lord Liverpool, at Fife•house, and succeeded in reranving his Lordship's objections to the new plan of carrying the mails in light carriages without any passeiyerA, at the rate of 11 miles an hnar•.-- There will be an additional postage ; bat letters may be sent ar the present rate by the coaches wi;:t pasaengers.
