She was a contemporary of Vrederick the Great, whose memory she cherished with re spect. Her youth was distinguised for an amiability of manner, which might have been envied even by the most refined. At eighty-two years of age Ilde. de Decken wrote like Mad. 3 evigne, and conversed like Mademoiselle Defend. During the 6 eettpation of the Electorate of Hanover by the French arms, 'he gave important proofs of her devotedness to her legitimate kaster. letter from Madrid of the 4th inst. says, that an expedi -4-41 is preparing against America, to be commanded by Gen.

And the only pretence f or th e l oeprivi ng peop l e o f nearly half their income is, " that as R .,, a duty of 6d. per chaldron on coals brought to London was the.rlted for th e p ayment o f t h e pr i nc i pal and interest on part of bur bonds, that d u ty would b e t h ere b y sooner annihilated; " p ar even this i s f a ll ac i ous , f or i n th e or d inary course the greater tl4 ' Of these bond s would be p a id o ff i n a few years, and the eetY,would then cease ; and should the proposed plan be ef tire expence of carrying it i n to execution trill nearly * 4 'o4 to the sum saved, and even if the 6d. duty on coals sikole now annihilated, the sum is so sm a ll, t h at the con seti," would pay precisely the same price th at l ie d oes at pre and the coal-merchant be the only one benefited.

Government never engaged to pay Pa qi c ent. interest, until the principal should be paid out of a Th e f4/(l).fiid, and then un ex p ec t e dly paid it ou t o f another. abl e t i!et Is, the plan w ill on l y b ene fi t th ose p ersons w h o, to en 'le city to pay off these bonds, are to lend them mon ey at in s cent. cent. more than they c an ge t i n th e , f un d s , an d w h o may ' ln tl, sell the new bonds they are to receive as security for Al. or 71. per cent. premitstts 3 and thin, as the debt amount s to 700,0001., realize a most enormous profit; and to make the chse worse, the holders of the present bonds are not to have the option of having one of the new 4 per cent. bonds, but are to be forced to take the 1001., while for the loan of the like sum the 4 per cent. bond is given to another. Thus, should this Bill pass (without conferring any public benefit), a large number of persons will be deprived, as we have before said, of nearly half their income, and hundreds, who, trusting to the faith Of the City of London, who have per haps invested the whole savin gs of a long life of toil in the purchase of these securities, will he plunged into absolute dis tress. In addition to all other circumstances attending the attempt to smuggle this veil important Bill through Parliament, we perceive that Alderman Woon in the Common Council stated on the 3d of May, that the petition was so framed as to permit the city bond-holders to lend the city money at 4 per cent., whereas the Bill brought into Parliament by the same enlightened and worthy Alderman, does not give the bond holder any such option. We certainly should advise the bond-holders to call a meet ing, and petition Parliament on the subject, or depute some of themselves to explain to Government the ruinous consequences of the measure ; at all events we have done our duty, in vindi, eating the rights of a large portion of the community, which, unless some struggle be speedily made, appears to us to be in imminent peril; and we hope our call will be attended to. TUE KING'S AItRIYAL is To wN.-On Satur day evening, about half-past six o'clock, the King, escorted by a party of Light Horse, ar rived at his Palace in Pall-mall, in his travelling carriage and four, from Windsor Castle. Yes terday morning his MAJESTY, attended by his Household, heard Divine Service performed at his Palace, in Pall-mall, by the Rev. Dr. Blom berg. The Duke of Youx paid a visit to the King yesterday. - Yesterday the Loan CHAN CELLOR and the Duke of WELLINGTON had au diences of his MAJESTY. Liw PROMOTION.-This morning, in the Court of King's Bench, MICHAEL NOLAN, Esq., King's Counsel, took the oaths of allegiance and supremacy to his Majesty GE.onus the FOURTH, and was sworn in before their Lord ships, In open Court, a Welsh Judge. THE ROYAL FAMILY.—On Saturday evening Prince LEOPOLD, attended by Baron Stockmar, arrived at Marlborough House, from Claremont. The Duke of Clarence visited the Duke of Sussex yesterday.—Yesterday the Duchess of Kent attended Divine Service at the Royal German Chapel. The service was performed by the Rev. Dr. Kuper.—Yesterday the Princess Augusta dined with the Duke and Duchess of Clarence.—The Duchess of Clarence visited the Duchess of Kent yesterday.—The Duchesses of Kent and Gloucester, and the Princesses Feodore and Vittoria, visited the Duke and Duchess of Clarence on Friday. By the last accounts from Lisbon, it is cer tain that ships and troops, amounting to 9.000 men, have sailed from the Tagus to subdue the Brazils. The Contractors for the intended Brazilian Loan, in the City, have very properly issued a circular, stating that the contract is deferred We have no doubt but that the Emperor PEDRO will soon enough submit to his father ; and we are well convinced that, notwith standing the presence of several French as well as British, ships in the port of Rio, when the Portuguese troops shall arrive there, that neither the former will fire a gun in favour of the Portuguese, nor the latter in favour of the Brazilian cause. It is a domestic affair between father and son, and be tween a Sovereign and his subjects, and that therefore neither France nor England will be a party to the quarrel.—(British Monitor, May 16.) Captain PARRY left Mr. GRAHAM'S, Regent.. street, at nine o'clock yesterday moreing, in a coach and four, accompanied by his brother, Dr. PARRY, of Bath, and Josx. lifaicrixeAu, Esq. of Stamford-hill, to join the Discovery ships at the Nore. The officers and crew of the llecla and Fury will be paid tick wages to-morrow at the Fiore, from which place the ships are ex pected to sail on the following day for the Ork neys. The Griper, Captain LYON, is to sail from Deptford on the l st of next month. THE THEATRE.—The audience were again disappointed on Saturday last at Drury-Lane Theatre by the illness of Mr. MuNDEN, who was to ha►e performed Old Rapid in A Cure for the Heart-dche, but was disabled by a sudden attack of the gout.—Mr. ARCIIErs came forward before the Play commenced, and read a brief statement of the circumstance, requesting the indulgence of the audience for Mr. LISTON, who had under taken the part. This apology was well received, but in a few moments after a Gentleman arose in the Pit, and addressing the audience, observed, that, in consequence of the frequency of such disappointments, a medical certificate should be produced to prove the indisposition of Mr. Mumoex, of whom he spoke with respect as an old friend. The gentle man was applauded, but no further notice was taken. The gentleman was reported to be Mr. FOLLIOTT, of Chester, a well-known public spirited character in that city. The Play then proceeded, and LISTOx brought forward so much of his original humour in the whimsical and be nevolent old Tailor that the whole went off with spirit and applause. Report sa;s that a new Piece, derived from the novel of St. Ronan': Well, written by " the Great Unknown," has been rejected by the Managers, because of some Performers having refused the parts that had been allotted to teem. If so, it appears that the Managers have Ma nagers, and are afraid to exact foyfeitures for such refusals, lest they should occasion sudden Mr. IlicitaAny, it is said, intends to renounce the Stage, probably for the Church, as he is said to be well qualified by scholastic attain ments. It is not surprising that any Actor or Actress should be desiroas of quitting their pro fession as they are constantly exposed, like cocks on Shrove-Tuesday, to the attacks of ignorant and brutal Critics in the Public Prints, several of whom are utterly destitute of that judgment and taste which arise from experience, and some of whom have partialities which induce them to sa. crifice any rival to their favourites. Mr. BRAnAin has been blamed, or rather ridi culed, for not accepting 10,0001. for a trip to America. But why should he separate from his family when he is already independent, and by his talents can probably raise as much during the same period, without exposing himself to the hazards of an uncertain element, and the sacrifice of all domestic enjoyments and amicable con nections, where his abilities are admired and his character esteemed? The Duke of BEDFORD is so much recovered from his late severe attacks, as to be able to ride out on horseback. The Marquis of TAvisTocK is also an invalid. His Lordship is suffering un der an inward complaint, occasioned by over ex ertion, in having, after a protracted discussion in the House of Commons, travelled to his seat in Bedfordshire ; and then joining the chase, in stead of taking necessary rest. THE KING, &c. ixnson, MAY 16.—yesterday afternoon, at twenty Minutes after four o'clock, the KING, accompanied by Sir Mr. Knighton, left the Castle in his travelling carriage for Carlton Palace, and attended by Outriders and an escort of Royal Horse Guards. It is expected his Majesty will return to Windsor on Friday or Saturday next.—The weather being unfavourable, there were no Bands on the Terrace this day.—On Friday morning Lieut. John Everr ett was i nstalled, with the usual ce remonies,Knights of t h e L ower F oun d at i on, vacants, t.Gbiy,o rtgi one lee, sdo death ca t t h iiil e a poPco _ of W. Gillesbia.

On Friday morning the King's banner was sent to the Castle for his inspection, when his Majesty was most graciously pleased to signify his approbation of the same. The banner is most splendidly embroidered on velvet—the quarterings of England on a crimson ground.—Scotland on yellow and gold—lreland on purple—the Hanoverian ho rse i n the centre is of silver. The helmet is surmounted by the Imperial Crown, with the British Lion as the crest, richly gilt. On Friday the banners were placed over the respective stalls, under the superintendence of Sir G. Nayler, Garter King at 4rms, who arrived at the Castle on Thursday, for that purpose. His Majesty's banner is on the right as you enter the Chapel, which is so richly em broidered that it was requisite to be supported with a cast iron rod ; The King of Portugal's on the right of his Majesty's; the King of Denmark's on the left; and those of the Marquises of Cholmondeley, Hertford, and Bath, at the bottom of the Chapel, each with their armorial and heraldic bearings.

The same forms and ceremonies were observed. lii adition to the apart ' ments we have already described, the Tapestry Room was opened. This beautiful saloon becomes doubly interesting, from its potirtraying the architecture and verdant scenery of ancient Greece. To the dilettanti present this was a great treat. —lnterspersed in several rooms were glazed cabinets, con_ taining miniature portr a i ts of the early branches of the illus trious House of Percy, and around a variety of precious gems. Some incalculably droll representations of ancient mysteries, sculptured in ivory, drew forth much wit, vivacity, and good humour. The etiquette in dress was never more remarkably preserved. Every one who knew in what good manners consist ed, paid attention to costume on this occasion ; for a greater blaze of brilliants never appeared at a private house._ Refreshments were served up at midnight, on magnificent plate, about which time the conversation became general. nveelstsynifnLtohnedPonadrterry, Lady x;leaprteitihi addition n e ness nf Hertford, Emily and Miss Mild:nay, Earl a —Hl 7l ia ( Ng i rhoc C hnn o ei tt t e h s e s Dolti'keeaolfedlo'onyr,ke'Prince Polignac, the Duke and Exmouth, Sir Watkin and Lady Arden Duch ess o f M ontrose I D O ltdi Williamsc t 1 lic, the Duchess en V sn e 1 1_ 1 4 iLrnangiam, ld i , ) o t ri dk Duke Lady o f Athol, Lord Glenlyon, Lord Aberdeen, Lord Ravensworth and Miss Liddell, Earl and Countess of Verulam, Marquis C am d en and Lord Brecknock, Earl Barnard, Earl an d C ountess G rosvenor and , , Mr. Secreta r y P ee l an d hi s Lady ; and the Russian Lord rav e ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE WEEK. • This EVENING.—Lady Grantham's rout, St. James's_ square; Sir Wm.

HYDE P AnK.—Notwithstanding the very unfavourable pro mise of the early part of yesterday, the afternoon became so far improved as to attract a vast number of equipages to the carriage drive in this Park, and some of them of a very splen did description.—The promenade was also well attended, but chiefly by male pedestrians, the ladies having either remained at home, or those who had such an advantage confined them= selves to their carriages. —The few females Who made their ap pearance on the walk were so *rapped up in cloth pelisses, cloaks, muffs, and tippets, to protect them against the sharp north-easterly breeze which prevailed, that they gave the pro menade more the appearance of a winter than a summer walk. Most of the visitor s of all descriptions had disappeared by six o'clock, as it just then began to threaten rain. P 0 E T ODE TO MUSIC. Music, genial maid, Come to thy Poet's aid, And, as I touch the string, The light rob'd zephyrs bring, Swift tripping o'er the ground, With roseate chaplets crown'l Hark ! Through the sky Her deep voice floats In liquid notes, And meets my ear In warbling clear Of harmony. Enchantress of the soul, Thou dost fierce rage controuL As thy sweet numbers flow, The softer passions glow, From Pity's kindling eye Drop tears of sympathy. Hark ! From around, An answ'ring strain Replica again, And rock and wood Pour back the flood Of echoing sound. Music, whose rapturous song Hurries the mind along, To realms whose splendours glestrt Only in Poets' dream ; 'Who dost bright Joy inspire, To thee I strike the lyre. Hark ! O'er the hill, A dying swell, From distant cell, In cadence slow, Comes I And 1 alld im and low s Ais still. S P 0 It T I N G. BOXING—BEN BURN AND SAMPSON. Not for a stak e o f money, or for love, did these men exhibi in a merry casual combat on Saturday evening. Tho scene oft . action was in Golden-square, r-nd it arose out of the broils of the late disappointment of fight between Joshua Hudson and Sampson, and it as least afforded a proof of what Sampson, full of training, could h ave d one w i t h Josh., after this fight with a man in no condition. Some angry expression,s first passed, when Ben doubted whether Sampson could heat Moran, and the Latter gave him a punch in the head, and both went to work and well punished each other. Five rounds were fought, when the friends of each stopped the Chancery suit for a trial for some bustle. In the first round there was a rapid exchange of blows, and Ben drew first blood from the head, and in closing both went down. The claret streamed from Sampson's pimple merrily, and he waited a bit to pull off his toggery for the next round. 2. Burn was hit heavy with the left hand, which queered the right ogle, but lie returned and parried Sampson's right hand in a masterly manner. The round ended by both being down. 3. Burn placed a left-handed hit on the head and avoided Sampson's blows. Burn showed want of condition at the end of the round. 4. Both hit away, inclined to do mischief. Burn's ogle was lumping, and Sampson's claret was kept flowing, and both again went down. 5. The want of a ring was here manifest, and after two or three rattling hits, pressed by the people, a Mr. Sergeant got between the men, and promoted a cessation of hostilities for the time. Each had enough for the time, and went off content.— Burn offers to match himself for any sum. GREAT PEDESTRIAN PERFORMANCE. LLOYD, the pedestrian, on last Friday evening completed his extraordinary and unprecedented match of walking 40 miles backwards each day for ten successive days. The sum wagered was only 50 guineas a-side; but bets to a large amount were pending; and in order to counteract any deception, umpires were chosen by the parties, and persons were appointed on the pedestrian's route. The road chosen was from the Lamb and Flag, Clerkenwell_green, through Ilford, Hare -street, Rom ford, to Brook -street, Esssx, being 20 miles out, and to return the same way on each day. On the 4th instant he commenced in high spirits, and continued performing his arduous under taking, having much time to spare each (lay. The seventh day, when on returni ng t h roug h Ilf ord, he sprained his left leg, and bad some difficulty in returning home. Betting in town was then 10 to 1 against him, and but few takers even at that, though he complained of a pain in his head. On the Bth day he was considerably interrupted from the immense clouds of dust, but on coming in he seemed to be much improved, and confident of success. The betting again turned in his favour. On the two last days he suffered severely from the continual rain, and he said had he had to perform another (lay he must have given in from the severity of the weather, from which it was thought he never could complete the match. In conse quence , t h e i mmense crowds who were anxiously waiting his return on Friday even ing, were agreeably- astonished on perceiving him return a con siderable time even before he was expected. He did the match at the rate of 2i miles an hour. The comp l et i on of this task can only be equalled . by another und erta ki ng, which, however incredible, he is confident of the r esu l t; as lie offers 2 to 1 he will stand upon one leg for twelve s uccess i ve hour..

Dovr.lt, MAT I6.—Arrived a French galley, from Calais, with Lieut. Martin, charged with dispatches from Algiers. The Mantle, of Newcastle, Coulthard, from --, was abandoned at sea the 15th ult., being leaky ; Captain and crew arrived at Dover in the Isis, from Boston. The ship Thalia, of 375 tons, Capt. D. N. Munro, arrived at Portsmouth, a few days since, from Batavia, Cape of Good Hope, and St. Helena, bound to Rotte r d am, w i t h a valuable cargo of coffee. On thei I2th ult. in lat. 29. N. long. 31. W., she sprang a leak, and made five feet water an hour. Six days afterward, by keeping both pumps constantly going, at which every person, passengers, and even the ladies, took regular turns, she made the island of St. Michael's; but it blew a hard gale from W.S.W., with a dreadful sea running. Being close in with the town of Porto Delgardo, she made the signal for assistance, and after nearly two hours exertion, a boat hap pily reached the ship, with Capt. J. Finlayson, of the schooner Duke of York, and nine men, who had volunteered their ser vices—a most happy relief to the anxious minds of anon board, as the two spare pumps and boats were completely disabled, and it continued to blow very hard ] with the ship on a lee shore. After continuing at the pumps all night, the weather moderated, and Mr. Read, the Consul, came off with needed sundry supplies. As the island affhrded no shelter from the southerly winds, which continued to blow strong, Capt. Munro determined, at all hazards, to proceed to his port of destination. He hired nine Portuguese to assist his men at the pumps and in working the ship; sailed again, and by constantly pumping (as the leak continued the same nearly the whole of the pas sage), arrived here in safety, b ut t h e crew were great l y exhaust ed. The cargo (which has been thus preserved to the owners by steady perseverance and good conduct) is now unloading at this port, to ascertain the leak. MARQUIS DE LA FAYETTE.—The French Papers assert that M. DE LA FAYETTE has determined on paying a visit to the United States of North America, and that he will embark in the course of six or eight weeks. llis friends reckon that his absence altogether will not exceed seven or eight months.

Ensitrita rose and said, that on a former day he moved for and obtained a rule to Shew Cause why an individual, named Povey s com mitted to prison under the charge of manslaugh ter, should not be admitted to bail. The Learned Counsel said the defendant was committed tinder that charge by the verdict of a Coroner's Inquest, for having ejected the deceased in dividual, who was tit the time a lodger in his house, while labouring under that dreadful complaint, the small-pox. On his previous ap plication, Mr. E. stated, the Lord Chief Justice desired that the depositions of the respective wit nesses examined before the Coroner's Jury should be brought into Court ; they were now ready to be produced with the affidavits, which being handed to the bench and read by the proper of ficer of the Court s The LORD CillEF JUSTICC said, that an order might be taken for the Magistrates to hold the defendant to bail, himself in 1001. and two sure ties of f2Ol. or four of 101. each. K ENS IN G TON TURNI'MU TRUST Mr. SCA ItLETT sheaved cause why a criminal ht formation should not issue against Samuel Evelyn Sketchley, Esq., a Magistrate of the County of Middlesex, and besides Trustee and Treasurer under the Act of Parliament fur the above Trust, on the ground that, front corrupt motives, he had not caused the rates to be assessed ac cording to the Act of Parliament, but had au thorized the Collector to take fourpence-halt; penny, instead of threepence ; and further, that he had not caused correct accounts to be passed. The first ground on which he opposed the rule was q that Mr. Sketchley had no salary as Treasurer. 2dly, That he had never acted as Chairman of the Committee when the accounts were passed. He contended that no corrupt motives had bees shewn, and trusted the Court would discharge the rule. Mr. Baottoulas was heard in support of the • rule, and contended it wasoo all intents and pur. , poses, an office of profit and advantage, although he swore to his receiving no salary or gratuity. In. addition to his finding large securities, he always had a balance of 5000/. in his ['awls, and which he alleged he had not paid over because he had not been called upon. The Loan CHiNF .TUSTICE said i the rule for granting criminal informations Was its being shewn that the party in public office had acted front corrupt motives in this case. His Lordship was of opinion corrupt motives had not been shewn. The rule was discharged, but without costs. ARCHERS COURT.—(TIns DAT.) RIOT in the PARISH CHURCIA of ST. MARY, NEW./ INGTON. This was a suit instituted by the Surrogate against a person of the name of Roffey; for that he did, on the Ist of April, 1823, in the pre sence of the Hector and parishioners, duly as sembled in the Parish Church, for the purpose of electing Parish Officers, broil, chide, and quarrel, and did in an angry tone address himself to Mr. Joseph Hurcombe, using towards him seyeral opprobrious terms, and threatening to horsewhip him. The charge extends to several articles. In support of the Charge the depositions of 15 individuals wer• this morning read, which were met on the part of the respondent by the depositions of 19 other individuals, severally de nying the articles alleged against the defendant. The whole affair appears to have originated in a strong party feeling with respect to the management of the parochial affairs, and it appears, that at the vestry at which the dispute now in the Ecclesiastical Court took place, manr intemperate speeches and personal allusions were made. The rending of the depositions occupied the Court the whole morning.—No decision was given. THE MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 17. 'the quantities of grain that came in last week were tolerablv good for this season of the year. This morning the fre,li supplies of all sorts of Corn are only small. Our Millers stilt confine their attention to prints dry samples of Wheat, and such descriptions are rather dearer, but all other qualities sell very heavily. The expectation of the bonded Barlpv being liberated next week llas quite stagnated the trade for this article, and sales cannot be effected, though offers are made on lower terms.
