I THE BRITISH PRESS• LONDON, TUESDAY, JUNE 12. The Motion for going into a Committee, upon Mr. rises Defence Bill, was, last night, opposed in the Ise of Commons; but was carried by a Majority 50. The debate was not interesting, as none the leading Members on either side took part in It cannot be considered a trial of strength, as Opposition evidently did not muster their whole It was, however, the general opinion, that 7 would have strained every nerve. The Minis made preparations accordingly ; and thus the )sition have acquired a knowledge of the ttest number which be can bring against them. The Article in some papers from Vienna of the of May, which states that rte Emperor of us 4v has ai.knowlede;ed SONAtA RTC'S Imps dignity, is at least pre.weeeure. The Corsican was proclaimed at Paris on the 20th, and we can suppose that the Cabinet of Vienna would ad its Sovereign to salute Bomar alert an Em before the French &nate, and the French We have French Papers to the 2.1 inst. the proud charader of the usurper is too well own to doubt that :he official acknowledgment of lawful Sovereign would have long remained secret.

The last Continental Papers confirm what we ex. lasively mmitioned, that HEDOUVILLE, BONA .arE's A-nbassador in Russia, only waited for the urn of a Courier from Pads, to quit St. Peters -1.-gh. This C•urier passed et: the 25th ult. ,u,;lll3erlins and, probably before this time, that ;bassador has left the Russian capital. Me are happy to say, toat the respeitshle Rus t.

Yesterday the three Regiments of the East-India Company's Volunteers were b.:peeled in Hyde- Park—first, by the Ear? of if ea .no row, and af terwards by His Royal Highn. ss the Duke of Yount. Having formed in battalions, with their field piece: on the nght. they went through a variety of evolutions, with admirable discipline. The three Regiments finally passed in review before His Royal Highness the Duke of Yolk, with their hands play ing to ordinary time—and presented a fine military speZtacle to an immense concourse of spettators. The Dukes of )(SPIT and Ca re SRI DIM were present, with a number of Staff and General Officers. We are sorry to state, an accident occurred to one of the privates, who unfortunately had his right band dreadfully shattered by the explosion of his piece, while putting in the cartridge. Mr. Bureau, the Surgeon to the Brigade, who attended, immediately performed an operation by cutting two of the fing ers close off. The poor fellow appeared low from the loss of blond, but no dangerous consequences are likely to ensue. Severl trifling accidents happened dining the charge. After the inspeition, Sir HUGH IxoLls, and the Officers of the Regiments proceeded to the London Tavern, where they par took of an elegant dinner, which was attended by His Royal Highness the Duke of Yost, Lord Mst.viu.s, ffirl of HARRINGITO%, Lord HOOD, General Ca ADDOCK.

Since the State Trials have begun, the barriers are again shut, the patroles again doubled, the police agents every where again upon the alert, and mea sures of safety again enforced with severity. Among the several persons lately arrested, are four Ladies seized yesterday in the galleries of the Criminal Tri bunal. They are accused of having hem concern ed in a new plot to poison our new Emperor, .it least, such is the rumour, and that upon each was found a parcel of strong poison. One of these Ladies, Madame De C—, is from Rennes, t'.e town where MOREAU was born. It is evits reported that the chief cook of the EMPEROR was shot last night, being connetßed, or suspected of being brim ght over by them and the staunch republican faction, ac cused, exclissiody, of the present new What every body knows as a fad is, that our new EMPRPOR bas not lately been in the best humour, and that he has ordered the Grand Judge to spare no means or money to convince the world of the elsoille treason of Moa EAU, both against our Covent meet and against the Royalist Party. 'the 7 riburie Moazau has the EMPEROR'S promise that his brother's life shall be saved, sales, some sem disco veries wake it necessary to sacrifice him for the a jety of the State. CARNOT, &NYE% GALA°, COULON, Cacootar, and LANJAUNAIS, are ordered to reside on their estates in the country, until f.irther orders from the Eursson. EDINBURGH, Juni 7. XIS StSJIISTY'S 111TH-D•Y. The uncommon fineness and calm serenity of the weather, on Monday, rendered the effee of the Grand Military Parade more brilliant and pleasing than it would otherwise have been. In the evening, an entertainment, in the usual style of liberality and elegance, was given by the Lord Provost and Magistrates, in the Parliament- House, where a great number of the first charac ter, in the country attended. After the Lord Pro vost had given a variety of extremely appropriate toasts, His Grace the Lord Lieutenant of the coun ty proposed the health of " EARL 1140 IRA, " OUR 33333 AND ILLUSTRIOUS C 11.111 CRIMP. " Long may we have amongst us an Officer, who has added so much to oar aecunty, and under whosecommand all descrin tions of military men in this country h►ve so much confi dence.•• Earl Mora • replied, with great animation, nfarly to this effect : " Gaareasses, The feelings of my heart will not permit meto receive in silence the flaite.ing compliment which has now beim paid us me by Utz Nsble Duke. I only beg leave to set h a Grace rigl.t in one particular Tiot which his Grace has been pleased to ascribe to m• exertions, Scotland has done for herself. 09 my arrival here, I found Ming 114)00 whim, could be ettetted ey native coordge, by unity of spirit, and be discipline. All vat remained fur me was, to appreciate ai.d report to Govern the high character of the troops under my command, and rhiect their operations when they shall maimed. lam certain, I bar not over-rated their merits. I agam declare my perfect c•muJene, in these troops ; and my conviction, that if ever the day shall arrive when Lie enemy shall dare to put hie threats us execut on, he will only afford them a fresh upportie ofjultitying the chit-atter which they now erticry. It will be =arduous,* rough day; but, whether I survive it or nut, it wili be a day more glurvms for Scotland than any that stands recorded in any period of her hi4ory." At a later period of the evening, the Earl of DA LK err x addteased the Chair. MT 1.4110 PRO“VIT,. I confesa thatthe toast which I shall have the honour of proposing to you, has been, in a great measure, for-stalled; mock has already bee . said of patriotism, much of spirit, much of honour; seotimenti Indeal likely to r a in the breast of Britons on this auspicious day. But I cannot resist the pro• sant opportunity of giving as a toast. Tea YllohlA XIV AND VOL say Toga ever socitin we to evince the same spirit and patriotism that have always actuated them; such, indeed, as are not to be found in the anek•nt records of form r ages, nor are now to be met with in the degenerate state of the world, except in these happy isles. The Princes of degrade.) Europe bend before that haughty despot whose ambition knows no bounds; but I trust, t:.at as, during eh, last and lament wa-, our brave yc.onanry and vision. teers have manfully withstood the insulting threats and utmost effort' of the masters of Republican Franca (under what..ver whinisim denomination of Directories or Consulates), so thq will nut now truckle to the same degraded power, though deco. rated with the taus of Imperial."

When the company separated, the populace seized upon the Earl of Moira's carriatte, which contained also the Duke of Buccleucb, the. Earl of Daikeith, and the Lord Advocate, and having taken away the horses, they dragged the carriage to his Lord ship's house, in Queen-street. The carriage was followed with the loudest acclamations, by an ,n.- mense concourse. of people, who continued to cite( r his Lordship till he appeared at the window and thanked them in the most polite and elegant terms, for these distinguished marks of their respell and good will. Tbc crowd then quietly dispersed ; and, it is but justice to say, that in the course t.f our remembrance, we have never known the King's birth-day pass over so perfally free from disorder of every description. The Assembly in the Rooms, Ceorge- street, in th e evening, in brilliancy of appearance, far exceedt.,l any one that has been witnessed for some years past. The late Rev W.

COMMON PLEAS, Jura 11. Mr. Serjeant BAILLY havino moved on a former day for a rule to shew cause Why the verdia given for the Defendant in an aetion of repleviii should not heternoved Mr. Serjcant Szttcsir, this day, spewed eatr.6 against the same. It appeared that the ('olleit rf Land Tax in Cambridgesiiire were empowerri., to assess certain Drain La ids, and to demand fivin. p.mce per :WIC agreeable to an Ad passed during his present Majesty's reign. The lands of Mr. Newton, 1 kfendiat in the cause, were, tiserefixe. assessed ; but no demand made for the tax uptil eig!lt years after the first asseisment, upon ground payment was resisted, and the Co rn sioners distrained. At the trial of the adion of reply. yin, it was contended that the tax should have been demanded annually, or it was not recoverable. aes g to the Statute ; and the Jury gave a verdiar' for the Defendant. The same arguments were again ad fixed in supp.;rt of the verdict as at eye trial, nain ply, that the Cominissioaers bad departed from the spirit and meaning of the Ad ; and the Defendant could nit legally be compelled to pay. The Court, alter :.eating the case'argued for near dlr.,' hours, defered giving judgment. No motion of further importance occurred. No Cause of any importance came on in the Chit of King's Bench ). iterd ay. The American ship, called The Lovely Lnes, c v t. W. WA r. Ist.

As sown as the renewal of hostilities was known them. several Dutch ships ready to sail were stopped, and their cargoes landed, to wait for the return of peace. The same took place at the Cape of Good Hope, where several cargoes, that w uld not keep, haps been sold by auftion ; but, from the want of moan, they fetched but little. They were all the prod n e. tions of Java, and destined fur Holland. As the military there are very mutinous, and the ash agents very discontented, the Dutch Governee l l J AMIENS, has given in his resignation. It is, bowq ever, to be hoped, that Admiral LlllOlll will 1 1 004 restore order, and, with his trcops, preserve the co lony for the Batavian Republic.

The unavailing malice of the agents of the starving Bowie°Ns, says the Jeu...,al de Patii, in vents the most absurd, ns well as the most ridiculnus reports. One day they say that tlle Emperors of Germany and Russia will change their titles into that of First Consuls, and the nest day that the Em: _ peror of the French, to distinguish himself from , all other Sovereigns, will assume the name of Arch- Emperor. The lid, however, is, that the Emperor of the French is the .fe‘t as well as the must lawful of all modern Sovereigns, owing his dignity to his own eminent merit, and to the unanimors choice of the nation over which he reigns, whilst all other here ditary Princes are indebted to their birth, and to the intrigues of their ancestors, not the r merit, for their present elevation. Neither the choke, nor the voice of the people has seated them on their throne,. In the prisons at Strasburgh. are 236 prisoners, • concerned in the forgery of Vienna bank notes. Among them are several Frenchmen, Germans, Italians, Dutchn:en, Swi,s, Poles, and Turks. They are to be tried according to the French laws, but the expences of the trials are to be paid by the Court of Vienna.
