Extract of a Letter from the Agent to LLOYD . at . Nr.vhaven, dated 23d March, 9 A. :I. " A tugger has just arrived from Dieppe-with a Messenger,- with dispatches from the King of FRANCE (who was near Abbeville on TuesdAy) to the PRINCE REGENT. BUONAP\ItTE entered Pi4rii. on Monday without resistance. The Eliza, LIND, is also arrived with 40 passengers ; amongst them are a e Duchess of CASTIMAS, Lady BARRY MORE, Duke de SERENT, Sir W. A.CI7 - NNINGUAIq, a Colonel of the French Artillery, &c. &c." DOVER, MAttcH 23, Six P. M.—A vessel ar rived from Boulogne, between twelve and one to-day, after a passage of three hours. The let ters she brings to one of our Banking-limes put it, I .fear, beyond all doubt that BuoNA PARTE entered Paris on Tuesday last, without re sistance. A Gentleman, to whose statement itn- . plicit credit may be given, was at ;Melon until al most the moment that BUONAPARTE reached there ; and it being ascertained that all attempts to ani mate the National Guards and King's Troops to oppose the Rebel Forces %were fruitless, he quitted the spot, and made the best of his u•ay for Eng land. This Gentleman is a French Royalist; of large fortune, acquired in this country, and %veil known in London. Some vessels are in sight from Calais, but can not reach the harbour for some hours. No Mail from Paris has reached Boulogne since Tuesday. Extract of a Letter from Hastings, dated Thursday Evening, FiVe o'Clock, c‘ The Gainsing sloop arrived in Rye Harbour about au hour since : she left Dieppe early in the morning, and 'brought about 20 passengers.—A letter has also been brought by her from the Mayor of Dieppe to the Mayor of Hastings, an nouncing the unfortunate tidings of the entry of - BUONAPARTE into Paris, on Monday last, with- oLt opposiion.—A person is also arrived! here 11 - oui Boulogne, which place he left on Wednesday At that tine the post for the two pre!.ed. 1 - .1 1 .1, 11-O,GENT'S Yesterday, at one o'clock, PRINCE REGENT held a Court at Carlton House, for the purpose of receiving. the Petition of the Corporation of the City of London not to sigh - the Corn Bill. At twelve o'clock, a guard of honour, under the connnand of Col. GORE, marched into the *court yard of Carltoti House, preceded by the band of the Coldstream Regiment of Foot Gua-ds. , A numerous detachment of the Life Guards took their station in and the streets leading into it, with their band. At tit quarter before oue o'clock, the City State Procession arrived, and entered Carlton House as follows : The two City Marshals, Mr. Gough, And the other Gentle men of the Lord Mayor's Household, the Sword of State, the MoCe, the Lord Mayor' - 5 Chaplain, the Lord Mayor, Alder man WouTi, the Sheriffs, the Under S'Aeriffs, the Recorder, the Torn Clerk, the Solicitor, Mr. Seemidary, Collingridge, the H sli K, )er, Mr. Waithinan, Mr. Favell,• Mr. Cr itEths, and a nosier of other Gentlemen of the Courtof Common Council.

LORD CHAMBERLAIN then conducted the Corporation itro the presence of the PRINCE, When the Athlrtss was read. by the ItecottpEtt, and the Answer by the PRINCE. The following are copies : To his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, Regent of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, The humble, dutiful, and loyal Address and Petition of the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of London, in Common Council asserub‘led. May it please your Royal Highness, We, hip Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, the Lot d :%layor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of London, in' Common Council assembled, must humbly approach your Royal Highness, with no less . grief than astonishment at the lat.: proceedings in Parliament, relative to a Bill fur laying further restrictions on the importation of Corn. We have seen, that notwithstanding the voice of the coun try has been, constitutionally and must decidedly declared against that measure, by Petitions which, is point of number, and the number and respectability of the signat tares thereto, had not been exceeded in the histori of these realms, the House of Coinnions has passed the ,said Bill, and that its pro ceedings thereon have been marked with a precipitancy pertinaeigus millet-en:2e to the most obnoxious features there of, which plainly evinces an utter disreg•ard of public feeling, and of that pnWic opinion, whosq organ it ooglit to'be. We have observed in the other HotSe of Parliament the, 14111 C pre,ipitancy, and the same deerrninati.in fn, ther inquiry, or to hear evidence, notwithstanding a Com zniitee of that Right Honourable Home had stated in their Report, durin4 the last Sessions, that the investigation was not complete, and that further inquiry would he necessary before any alteration tools place hi the laws atTccting the in terests of the growers and consnmers of Corn, We have observed the Ministers of the Crown, with the same disregard of the general voice of the couutry,and whose speci4Antv it was to Watch over the interesti, not merely of the land owners, but of the community at large, ;end the sanction of their authority to the support of a measure, whicit in it. operation cannot rail of proving mot seriously injuri ous to the manufacturing and commercial interests` of the livi;.7dorn, in ;t very high degree oopressive to the pour, and dangetous to the tranquillity and safety of the Empire. that thus deprived of that protection which we might rea sonably have expected from the Representatives of the people and the hereditary Legislators of the canntry, we are com pelled humbly to lay our complaints before your Royal High ness, as the only constitutional resource we have now re- u3aiaing. We beg most earnestly to impress upon your Royal High ness thatthe two Houses of Parliament being composed of landed proprietors; that having examined such persons only as were laud agents, and otherwise connected with land, and having instituted no inquiry into the truth of the allegations oz numerous Petitions against. the said Bill ; nor any wit nesses having been examined on their behalf, appears most partial and unjust, and highly irritating to the feelings of those classes who have suffered such privations, and made such unexampled sacrifices. That during a period of unexampled difficulty and exces sive dearness of every article of consumption, your !loyal Highness cannot but have pereeived . that the Oar which was the occasion of dist'ress to the industrious and laborious classes of the people has, by causing a progressive ritut in the rent of lend, been a source of emoluracnt to the lan,lel pro- prictors. • That it is therefore with concern and diiappointment, we have observed that at a moment when the people were anxiously expecting the hlessings of lieace—a diminution of their burthens and the cheapness of food ; the land owners. not content with the adraniages they had thus .derived: not content with having escaped those losses and misfortunes which had involved thousandS of other classes of the corn- M t v i , , in ruin ; nut content then with being- relieved from the Property Tax, hare sought by the sa'd Bill to protect their property from those changes and fluctuations to which. all other property is liable ; and to secure to themselves; in time of peace, a contisuance of those benefits which have arisen out of the war and the distress of the tines. Your Royal Highness must be duly sensible that this coun try has risen to its pre-eminent rank sinning nations h'. its manufactures and commerce, it is by that it has acquired its wealth, which 'iLts raised and supported its navy, and prima ed thegreirtness and glory of the British Empire. That by the improvements in various branches of manufac tnees in other countries, and by the introduction of ma chinery, we have already formidable competition to encoun ter, and that this measure, by keeping up the price of food, will cause the emigration of our manufacturers and artizans, and tend to transfer the skill, industry, and capital of this Kingdom to other Nations. ' We therefore humbly implore your Royal Highness to ex tend your Royal proteetioo to interests so closely connected with the prosperity of these realms, by withholding on the be half of his Majesty, your Royal Assent to the said Bill; and we further pray your Royal Highness to Dissolve the Com mons House of Parliament, who have furnished the most con clusive evidence that they di. not support the interests nor re present the feelings or opinions of the People. Signed, by Order of the Court, HENRY VOODTHORPE. To wl)ich Address and Petition his Royal High ness was graciously pleases! to return the follow ing Answer : I have heard with the greatest concern the sentiments eon ! twined in this your Address and Petition.

Hubert aml .1171L , cr, Shakespeare's King John, Act 4 Scene 1. G. H. HailLoW.—,This is one of the mot prominent pictures in the Exhibition, and with Several defects, possesses merits so striking as to deServequi analysis. Mr. Harlow hat trated the subject very differently from, NI:. Nortlicote, and has in our opinion by simplifying improved it. It consists of only the two principal characters, without the attendant Murderers. Hubert, is a fine figure of manly strength and proportions, and is well and solidly painted proof that the Artist has no excuse of want of powers to plead for the flimsiness of other parts of his sui.,]eet. The expression of the countenance is very doubtful ; we could have wished more of the conflict of the passions, and the remorseful agony which would accompany the determination of a man who has just resolved to- rish his own existence, rather than. execute ' a barbarous mandate. By closing tho eyes, as it ill profit:and thought, Mr. Barlow has deprived . him self of the .fkn i est organ of bumen expression.—ln Arthur he is by no means so successful 'as in Hubert : it. is' the' shadowy recollection of a figure in Boydeil's Shakespeare, of the existence of which in his mind the Artist was probably unconscious. But this, and perhaps a general resemblance to the style of Mr. Lawrence, as well us something of - Mr. Young the Performer in the other figure, gives of the whole ' an idea of want of originality, which we are convinced, his other excellenciei, the Artist might readily have avoided: The face oil he boy is beautiful, but wants grief andterror.

ROYAL ACADEMY. Mr. Soasa last night concluded his eloquent, interestinr, and instwtive series of Lectures on ARCUITECTURE. The discourse was of a miscel laneous nature, and comprehended a brief Teca pitulation of the subjects which he had before discussed. Ile touched upon the supposed origin of .the pointed, or Gothic arch, on bridges, co-' &c. In the course of his Lecture h, gave a very humourotis account of the removal and raising of TRAJAN'S famous Pillar, during the Papal" Government. The Pope, it seems, ,not only bestowed his - benediction on Fol.:I-ANA, the Architect, who, after many years of consultat ion, was selected for the important oflice of elevating this celebrated' column, but on the many of workmen who were employed on the occasion, as well as on all the machines. &c.— But that all poss,ble , care and caution might attend this, august and - solemn undertaking, punislatne.nt, as well as reward, was held forth to insure success. A gibbet was erected upon the spot, the hungrn.an and his attendants graced the ceremony, and the poor Architect, as well as his chief.agents, were to be executed immediately, in case Of failure. Happily the attempt, however, succeeded, and therefore recompetice, instead of vengeance, was the result. The - Architect was made a Knight of the Holy Ghost, and other ho nours and rewards attended him. This narrative, founded on rare hut authentic documetits, atlord ed high entertainment to the audience. The LLeturer particularly' inculcated the neces sity of empl9ying none but the best enaterals,mu order to secure durability to the edifice, and, as usual, illustrated his discourse with .accurate anti beautiful drawings. The series has been numerously attended throughout, and With a more than usual ass'emidage of time Academic Body.--The company testified the 'Warmest applause on the conclusion of this amusing and instructive Lecture.
