The Officers of the Expe dition were kindly received by the Authorities of Au x Caves, having waited on them with t h e troops, and were permitted to pitch tents on shore, which w as a great luxury in that climate, being Nulatly encamped. The Officers were visited Iffy the General of r,.e native troops, a polite little Irtlack, a man of Parisian manners, and all the Principal people of Aux Cayes."

In the Upper House or Pariiament, there is at present a great number of highly-gifted individuals, whose knowledge of the Constitn ti,n, love of rational liberty, end respect for the privileges of the House of Commons, will stand proudly conspicuous, even in coin-. parison with their Noble Predecessors, at any of the best periods of the history of the country. We therefore treat lightly all we have heard of opposition from that quarter. When we view the subject practically, it appears evident that great advantages will arise from this measure, not only from its effect on the minds of the people, but from the opportunity which it will afford to Country Gentlethen to offer them selves for the places to which this Bill more particularly - applies. At present they cannot be approached, from the impunity held out to the practices we complain of, from the serious expense which must be incurred, either in the Courts of Law, or in a Committee of the House of Commons, to set aside Returns carried by occasional and fictitious voters. The beneficial duets of the Acts relating to County Elections are obvious to every one conversant w i th the subject ; for how few petitions have been pre sented to Parliament against returns - for Counties since the passing of them. On the whole, we trust, the present opportunity will be seized by the Legislature to convince the people of their anxiety to do every thing they can to check and put an end to abuses in the Representative Sys tem of the Country, and to enforce as rigid. an economy in the expenditure of the State as is con sistent with its dignity, and the protection, wel fare, and happiness of the Nation. The second reading of .this Bill now stands for Friday, the 7th of May."--(Morning Post.) THE PRINCE REGENT. BRIGHTON, APRIL 28.--The PRINCE REGENT is so far recovered, that the exhibition of a Bul letin this morning was dispensed with. The an swer to ingistries was,—" That the PRINCE Re- GENT is much better, and is convalescent." In short, we have the pleasure of stating, "that his Royal . Highness is now enabled to leave his apart ments, and enjoy the society of his noble guests. This morning, Sir MATTHEW TIERNEY again left far London. Yesterday Prince ESTERHAZY, and this 'afternoon his Eicellency Count MingsTan, arrived at the Pavilion. The Paris Papers state that the Assize Court of Vannes has recently decided on prosecution against the Sie UrS LEGUESVEL and LAGALL, accused— _ I st, of being authors or accomplices in a .con spiracy to • overthrow the est a bli s h e d Covent went ; 2(1, of conspiring, in concert with the Eng lish Government, against the French Covert]. ment ; 3d, of proposals made against their Coun try to a foreign Power, which proposals were not accepted. It came' nut in evidence, that they went over to Jersey, awl from thence to London, where LEouesvet. announced himself as an Envoy from . the principal Chiefs of the Royal Army of Britanny ; that on returning to Dunkirk, LEGUES• VkL and LAGALL informed the Magistrates that they had important information to disclose; that this pretended information, written by them and addressed to the llinktry, crirminated several - Personages of consideration, against whom no suspicions whatever could be entertained, &v.— The two accused were found guilty, and sen tenced •to death ; hut on its - bring suggested by their Advocate that they had made di-cloSures, and ther , lote came within the exception 'of the law, they were discharged from pitnishment, and ordered to be kept. tinder the surveillance of the High Police for a certain number of years. The Procureur-General has appealed in cassatiou agahlst this decision, on the ground that they had not made any disclosures that brought them within the exception of the law, having made none sinceltreir attest, and having contradicted those they pretended to Liake previously.' The only object of the two above-named indi viduals appears to have been, to make a profit by me a ns of a fictitious conspiracy ; and they varied their story as thvy thought would best suit their purpose. Mr. and Mrs. I.3HADAM last night entertained a very large and elegant party, in Tavistock-square, with a fine vocal Conceit and splendid Supper, on account of the Christening of their son, which took place in the course of the day.

THE ITALIAN SHOPLIFTER.- " Yeserday Anto nio Gallini , alias Matte() Muggioli, remanded, on Friday last, underwent a. final examination, :at Guildhall, before the Sitting Alderman, Sir C. S. HUNTER —Two other charges, in addition to the three already proved against him, were substan tiates! by Mr. Morris, linen draper, south end of Fieet-m.►rket, and Mr. Clark , haberdasher, Cheap side, from each of whom he had stolen two silk handkerchiefs. The prisoner was fully committed on five different charges. The conduct of this, fellow since his confinement in Giltspur•street Prison has been careless and indifferent in the extreme, evincing all the cunning and adroitness) of a finished thief ; he has even exhibited spoci mens ot his dexterity in picking pockets, •for the amuse:nem of • his fellow prisoners, challenging them to do the like. A melancholy accident happened on Friday af ternoon last to Mr. BENJAMIN STAHISUCK, one of the fire► of PHIGLIPi and Co., Bankers, at HaVer f►►nlwest.. This Gentleman had been overlooking the Dock-yard, Pembroke, and was about to re• turn home, when, in the act of munnting his horse, the ttn!fiiii by some cause took•tri;ht, and starting, threw Mr. S. backwards it) hi. WI it is supposed his head must have come in rontael with a stone, as the contusion was so great as to render him totally speechless and insensible. Me dical assistance was immediately procured, bit proved of no avail. Mr. S. died a few !tows after the accident. He was a Gentleman much respected by a numerous acquaintance, and his relatives are quite disconsolate at the melan choly catastrophe. A Cmoner's Inquest was held, and a verdict of " Accidental- Death" given. UNITED SOCIETY OF FREEMASONS. Yesterday evening, the Anniversary Grand.

After the cloth was removed Non Nobis amine was admirably executed by Messrs. Clarke, ['awes, Nield, Broadhurst, Evans, Terrail, Coliyer, Dig now, Taylor, Leete, and blaster Turle. The toasts of the King, Prince Regent, and others were given, and received with great applause. In the course of the evening; Mr. Agar rose, and atrer passing some high eulogiums on his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, proposed his heal'h, as the Grand Master and the illustrious and chief supporter of their Lodge. His Royal Highness rose, and begged to be a110...ed to return thanks for the manner in which the toast was proposed by his worthy bro ther Ott his left, and the Manner in which it vvas received by them all. He did 'not know of a more difficult task titan for any person to speak irt praise of himself; he had belonged to the So ciety for a . length of time, and was grateful for the support which they had rendered him front time he became the Grand Maser. He kit happy in having an opportunity of expressing bis gratitude in the presence of so respectable an as sembly, and in finding that several additional metnbers had joined the Order. 'He would never relax his efforts in its support. Atter some' minutes had elapsed his Royal. ighOss again , rose, and in a hum:nous speeds . of some length addressed the Ladies io the gallery, who stood up. timing the time. There was nothing more interesting to the feelings.zit men (espccially Freemasons) than thecon,, anyotthefait sex, audit was a pain boogi; very ( - IL f!cs: ry) now and then to. withdraw themselves from their so ciety. It would be a want of courtesy in hint to tell them to leave their seats, but he hoped '.vhen. they heard him ask for that larg Chtir, in the corner, they would take the hint and retire to an apartment to rake their refreshmeor—(A initgh.) The Ladies accordingly shortly - afterwards re tired, and the company enjoyed themselves to a late hour in the highest conviviality. 'SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET FIIKP SPRINC; MEETING, 1819.
