Ile- lAppears to be hemhby sod ell growl). Extract Of a Dispatch front the Bight Hortonrable George Henry Ruse, his Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Mi niQicr Plenipotentiary at the Court of Berlin, to Viscount Castlereagh, K. 0. dated Hanover, March 27, ISl9.—Re 'eti‘eil April G. 1! is my duty to apprize your Lordship, that her Royal Highness the Duchess of Clarence was delivrred of a female child this morning, at ten thinfites past seven o'clock ; that the child was born alive, and was baptized at nine o'clock this morning, according to the rites of the Church of Ergland, by the names of Charlotte-Augusta- Louisa ; and that it expired at one o'clock this afternoon, at the FUrstcnhol, the residence of his loyal 1-Fghness the Duke of Clarence, in this city, where it was born. His Boyal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the Earl of Mayo, and myself, attended her Royal Highness's confinement, and have signed a formal declaration to the above effect. (Front the Court Circular) Yesterday morning, at three o'clock, Lieute nant-Colonel Prott, the Duke of Cambridge's Equerry, and 'Lieutenant Edward Hall, R. N , ar rived at Lord Castlereagh's house in St. James's square, with dispatches from Mr. Rose, the Bri tish Minister at Berlin, announcing the accouche ?aent of the Duchess of Clarence, and that of the Duchess of Cambridge, at Hanover. A little be fore, eleven o'clock yesterday, the Officers waited upon the Prince Regent at Carlton-house, with letters from the Royal Dukes to their brother, stating the interesting events. Colonel Prott and Lieutenant Hall proceeded from Carlion-hOuse to York-house, with letters to the Duke and Du chess from the Royal Dukes ; and from York house they proceeded to Glocesier-house, with similar co.nmunications to the Duke and Duchess from their Royal brothers.—The nccouchement of the Duchess of Cambridge took place at the prin cipal Pei ice at Hanover, on Friday morning, the 26th of March, at 3 o'clock, when her Royal Highness was safely delivered of a fine boy, by Dr. Leine ; the Royal Duke, the Duke of Cla reuce, Lord Mayo, and Mr. Rose, the British Minister at Berlin, being also in attendance. Col' Prott was sent off at 8 o'clock on the same morn ing, with tidings to the Prince Regent and other branches of the Royal Family in England, and the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, that the Duchess and the young Prince were doing well. It will be learned with concern, that a less favourab:e report has been brought respecting the Duchess of Clarence, she having been attacked with an indisposition on Monday the 22d of March, which coutinaed upon her Royal lligh ness during the whole of the week, for which it was deemed necessary to bleed tier several times; this caused a premature accouchement, and on Sa turday mornilig, the 27th of March, at half-past 6 o'clock, her Royal Highness, attended by Dr. An drew Holiday, gave birth to a female child. The infant lived till one o'clock, and then expired. The Duchess was very unwell after the birth of the child, and in that state she continued several hours to such a degree that considerable danger was apprehended. Her Royal Highness, how ever, being pronounced better at 4 o'clock, Lieut. Hall was sent off with dispatches to England. At that time it was hoped the Duchess would do well. Lieut. Hall procee4ed to Helvoetsluys, where he Came up with Colonel Prott, who had been de tained by a foul wind. The officers afterwards travelled together to England. After their arrival yesterday, to announce the accouchements of the - Royal Duchesses, the Duchess of Gloucester and the Duke of York waited upon the Prince Regent at Carlton-horse, as did Count Munster, the Ha uovetian M in ister, No public: rejoicings had taken place at Hanover, in conseqnence of the continued indisposition of the Duchess of Cla- reuse. RLIAMENTA R PAPERS, FIRST REPORT of the SECRET COMMITTEE on the EXPEDIENCY of the BANK RESUMING CASH PAY- Ai ENTS. The Committee of Secresy appointed to consider of the State of the Bank of .England, with reference to the Expe diency of the Resumption of Cash Payments at the period fixed by law, and into such other matters as are connected therewith ; and to report to the House suck information re lative thereto, as may be disclosed without injure to the pub lic interests, with their Observations thereupon,— Are engaged in deliberating opou, their Report; which, they hope to he able to present to the House on an early day after the approaching recess. The Committee having a confident expectation that, in that Report, they shall be enabled to fix a period, and re commend a plan, fur the final removal of the present Re striction OR the Bank, think it their duty to submit to the [douse, that the execution of any such plan would, in their opinion, be materially obstructed and delayed by a conti nuance of the drain upon the Treasure of the Bank, on ac count of the enzagement of the Bank to pay in Cash all its Notes outstanding, of an earlier date than January lst, ISI7, and on account of the payment in Cash of fractional sums under 51.: That the Committee therefore think it their duty to sng - gest to the House, the expediency of passing forthwith a Bill, re straining- all such payments in Gold Coin, until the Report of th e Committee shall _ have been received, and e:tinsidered by the House, and a legislative measure passed thereupon.- April 5, irsift. ANNUAL EXPENCE of the TrIANSPORTATInN of CONVICTS to NEW SOUTH WALES and its DEPEN DENCIES, and of the Establishments there :- 1816 1817 1318 LONDON JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. [Morning Post.] THE REVENUE. The statement of the Quarter's Revenue, Avhicli closed on Monday last, was last night laid before the House of Com mons and ordered to be printed. We understand it proves the gratifying fact, that though there has been some deficiency under a few of the heads, an improvement on the whole has taken place upon the produce of the corresponding Quarter last year, which was of itself greater by 739,00101. than the April Quarter of the year preceding. The El itish Revenue in the April Quarter of the year 1817, appears, by the 11th Report of the Finance Committee, to have produced 9,510,0001.; that of the Quarter ending sth April, 1818, 10,249,0001. While the Quarter which expired on Monday has produced no less a sum than 10,482,000 h [Morning Chronicle.] A letter from Paris, dated April :3, says, cc I h ave i n m y hands a letter from a Functionary at Nismes, assuring one of his intimate friends, that since the arrival of the new Prefect no incident has occurred to disturb the tranquillity of that city. This letter is dated the 27th March. —Party spirit and fanaticism are still so unrelenting in the South, that not withstanding the efforts and public exhortations of the Presi dent of the Cuur d'Assizes (lately named by the Keeper of the Great Seals) an assassin as notorious as Trestaillon has just been acquitted." The Brussels Papers have been of late uncommonly rich in articles from Madrid ; the noly.4ty of the channel, and the apparent demi-official character of these- communications, renders them particularly interesting. They informed us a few days ago, that so many Officers came for ward to serve as volunteers in the grand expedition fitting out at Cadiz, that Count Abisbal fonnd it necessary to select ; we are not pre pared to say, that the General's popularity alone may not cause this phenomenon; such it certainly is, if we can attach the least credit to what• we have been repeatedly told by per sons who had an opportunity of making obt , ereati.ms on the spot, that not only the privates, but also the Officers in the Spanish Army, openly professed their aversion to being sent to America. It was thought that the murder of some of the Officers in the Trinidad transport, by their own soldiers, would still further operate to disgust Officers with the ser vice on which they wet e'to he sent to South America..—(lbid.) [British Press.] We noticed yesterday the circumstance of Mr. Ellis having abandoned 'the_motion of which he had given notice in the House of Commons, for the removal of Mr. Quin from the office of Cos los Rotuifaztio of the county of Limerick. It seems the lion. Member thinks the leniency of the Resolu tions upon Mr. Quin's condnCt does not afford ground for 'deli motion; but it is strange he was not aware of this oh jection when he gave his notice. The case was then fully and fairly before him, his ft iends, and the public, and it is not pretended i that any new and additi ona l li g ht 'h as b een thrown upon the subject that places Mr. Quin in a more fa vourable point of view. We regret to find that our hopes of an attempt, through the active interference of some mutual friend, to reconcile the parties, have not been realised. Mr. Grady is an able and persevering. man, and it is now said that be means to bring his charge against Mr. Quin, by way jaf indictment, before a Jury of the City of Dublin. [The Times.] The mercury is sometimes seen to quiver in the barometer, during unsettled weather, without either mounting or de scending much; and just so the Parliamentary proceedings of Monday evening, relative to the resumption of Cash Payments, made a considerable sensation in the City, though the Funds did nut suffer a depression of more than 4 per cent.; which, referring to the usual effects of a state of alarm, whether well or ill-founded, cannot be deemed material, The new• measure is understood to put a stop to the payment in gold of the fractional parts of dividends, as well as of Bank-notes dated prior to' 8)7 ; so that the issues of gold are completely checked. It is expected that the rate of exchange will, in the first instance, be lowered by it, as all the gold smuggled abroad is paid for by bills on England, and that portion of the demand for them must instantly cease. The Dividends on Bank Stock commenced payment yesterday morning, and the Warrants for Reduced and other Stock, due this quarter, have also been issued to the hankers. No iAyments will, however, be made on the latter, either to the Bankers or to tine Public, before to-morrow, when the new legislative ►uea sure will be in Operation, and so prevent the demands for fractional parts.

THE SUN. ,SOLEM FALSII3I AUDEAT ? LONDON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 7, 1819. We received this morning the Paris Papers of Sunday last, (those of Saturday, which came yes terday, were by mistake stated to be Friday's Journals.) There was no meeting of the Chatn hers on Saturday. The Deputies were to have a public sitting on Monday.—Tire foNwing are extracts :—. " PARIS, APRIL 4.—The King transacted busi• nt's yesterday for two hours with Marshal Ilner4onald, " The outrages committed at the ThCatre of Strasburg were, it appears, the result of a .dis pure between some of the young men and the Di- rector of the Theatre, " The German Journals say that Prince Paul of Wurtemberg is to return to his country, and to reside with his children at Ludwigsberg. " The Duke and Duchess cat Orleans visiled the King yesterday. " The rejection of the proposition of M. de Barthelemy has induced several to%s us not to per severe in petitions, but nevertheless petitions ar rive every day at the Chamber of Deputies, pray ing that no alteration may be made in the Elec tion Law. " The announcement, in one of the Journals, of the death of the assassin of Koizehue in the night of the 251 h ult. appears to us (Journal de Paris) liable to great doubt. Our letters from Manheim state, on the contrary, that he was Still living on the 27th ; and a leiter'from Rastadt, of the 29th, does not mmtion his death. " The Dike and Duchess of Kent set out from Frankfurt on the 29th ult. for England. The ad vanced state of pregnancy of the Duchess only per mits her to travel by easy stages.

In general his mind appears exalte, and his language is that of (ale in a stare of effervescence, and filled with false ideas of liberty. " BERLIN , MARCH 27:—On the 234 inst. an old wall in the Theatre Royal fell down at the moment some workmen were employed in repair ing the interior. A mason's boy was killed, and several.men were wounded. " FRANKFURT, MARCH 30.—The assassin of M. de Kotzebue' died yesterday without making any declaration, but constantly maintaining that he had tio accomplices. Several papers were found on him, crowded with incoherent reflectiOns on patriotism, humanity, and liherty, and in which his victim was denominated the slave of Kings, a Russian spy, &c. Some of the details published are incorrect ; be did not announce himself as a Deputy from the Muses of Erlangen, or hand paper containing, a sentence of death, but stabbed Kotzebue immediately on seeing him. The as sassin appears to be an illumine of the first im pression, and to have for a long period meditated the crime." The extracts from the Dispatches, from Mr. Hose, our AmbasSatior at the Court of Berlin, which app eAred in the- London Gazette of last night, announce the safe delivery of the Duchess of CAMBRIDGB of a Son, on the 26th ult., at Cambridge-House, Hanover, at tan minotes after tw o in ti►e morning.
