Prince Maximilian of Saxony, and Princess Amelia, his daughter, set out yesterday to return to Germany by the way of Valencia and Barcelona, and through France. Ws Majesty has addressed to the first Secretary of State a rtoYttl Decree, relative to the preservation and religious observ ance of the fundamental and other laws of the Spanish Mo narchy : " I have learned with the most lively grief, that for some time alarming reports have been insidiously spread, that it is intend ed to oblige or to counsel me to make reforms and innovations in the regime and Government of my kingdoms, by altering its ancient and respectable fundamental laws, and limiting my Royal authority. It is a duty, and at the same time a satisfac tion to me, to contradict a fiction as malicious as it is criminal. I declare in consequence, not only that I am resolved to pre leo/ entire, and in all their plentitude, the legitimate rights of 111 7 sovereignty, without giving up now, or at any other time, the slightest particle of them, and without permitting the esta blishment of chambers - or of other institutions of whatever de tonaination, which may be contrary to our laws and usages ; but that, on the contrary, I have the most solemn and the most Positive assurance that all my august allies, who have given me 5 0 many proofs of their sincere affection, and their efficacious e°-operation in the welfare of my kingdom, will continue to sup- Port on all occasions the legitimate and sovereign authority of n► 7 crown, without advising or proposing to me directly or indirectly any innovation in the form of my Government. " I also declare, that I have taken the firm and immovable resolution to cause the laws to be kept and respected, without tolerating abuses of any kind, without permitting violence and totrigue to take the place of justice, and without consenting that 'ender the pretext or appearance of attachment to my Royal per ", and to my authority, those who shall seek by those means to cover their disobedience and insubordination shall not escape lust punishment. Strict observance of the laws, the prompt execution of my decrees and ordinances, and respect for the au. thorities, are the solid foundations of order and prosperity ; th eiz• which every Spaniard who is truly a Royalist, and devot ed to the Sovereign, ought to make the rule of his conduct; asd those which, notwithstanding the acts and attempts of male• l *nce, will secure the peace of my kingdoms, and the happi neu of my beloved subjects, which are the objects dearest to InY heart." Majesty concludes by recommending to all the deposi. t ea of his authority, to cause the laws t o be strictl y observed, ,v Ithout respect to persons or circumstances. This decree, sign. ad by the King's own hand, is dated A ran j uez, A p ril 19, and alltiressed to Don Francisco de Zea Bermudez. The liberals say now, that M. Zea Bermudez , seeing the *ettn th a t th rea tened him, has caused the p recedin g decree to addressed to him, which should have been addressed to M. .• - •‘Lornarele., as Minister of Justice. T his decree ma y have been li,.finted by the numerous ad dresses to the King, on the dis la of M. Ugarte, in favour of whom p ublic o p inion declares n I .te loudly. than ever.

(EXTRACTED FROM A PRIVATE LETTER.) Official news has just been received that the Emperor will arrive on the 28th in-this capital of the kingdom of Lombardy iHfel Venice. Notice has also been received th at the Grand Duke of Tuscany left Florence on the 17th : we expect him every moment. The report in circulation some time ago that the Emperor of tL,ussia and the King of Prussia will come in the seq uel to 31i mh, seems to be mere credited. Count de Bubria said yesterday evening, in a numerous c°lll PanY, " The Italians may congratulate themselves on the ap- Proaching arrival of the Emperor, which has been so often an nouncedlh„, and always deferred, for several years. 1 t hink I may rm that they will be agreeably surprised at what he intends to do in their favour. His Majesty knows the wishes and the r eal wants of the Italians. He is convinced that the time is Woe to put an end to the marasma.which keeps them in a state of inaction and dejection, as injurious to the general interest as I _ 4 opposition to the genius of the inhabitants , and the immense resources of a country to which nature has been so lavish of her 840 • The avowal is as curious as the observation is just.

We shall see. l o r i ltExcir Firwps.—Panrs, Arun. 30.--Five per cents. 65 c.—Bank Actions, 2,200 E— Neapolitan Rentes, 90f.flOc Among the various reports in the City this (la i Y ) t Was rumoured that, after the Coronation, t he Kin g of FRANcE means to join the Congress to be likely to take place at Milan. Several Petitions were last night presented to e House of Commons on the subject of the C o • tabulation LaWs, out of which a short discus sion - arose. It appears that the workmen, since the 411 ' 4 of all the Laws on the subject, have, not us ed the liberty thus accorded to them with suffi cient discretion. They have not only combined, bat combined for the most mischievous objects, . 44 ' in order to dictate to their masters the method . 41 which they shall conduct their trades, and it 3 ve ry obvi ous th at , un l ess some thi ng be done to reveut occurrences like these, no man could or "`could risk 1415 property in a trade so precarious as ulinuf acturing mild be under such circumstances. Il i e great difficulty, however, in these matters is, 4r . stee r a middle course, and, whilst the workmen to e Prevented from forming combinations to dictate th their masters, to take care that they are not at t i w s4r ne time c omm i tte d ent i re l y to t h e merc y o f e x i ir mast ers. A sort of combinati o n always does th e t amo ng the masters—it is inseparable -from it I. influence Property always must have, and pli n enou g ch alice a It that a single workman has no a gainst a single master to obtain what it is perhaps just that he should obtain, and which would therefore, form a very legitimate ground for a combination, viz., an advance of wages. The worliman is no slave ; he is not c om p e ll e d t o wor k longer than he pleases, or for less than he pleases; but how little benefit can he derive from having his will thus free if the exercise of it is to doom him to starvation. Thus a law to prohibit com bination to obtain an advance of wages would, in effect, place the %e orkman at the mercy of his employers. But if combination is to be allowed for one object (and it should seem that it would he unjust to prohibit it) how is it possible to pre vent a combination for another ; the avowed ob- ject may be legal, the secret object may be alto gether illegal ; and how to allow the one and prohibit the other presents a difficulty of no ordi nary dimensions, 'and which we confess ourselves unable to overcome. Again, if combination for an advance of wages is to be allowed, it follows as a necessary consequence, that the subscribing to a fund to support workmen who have struck for wages must be alloWed also, or otherwise necessity would drive the refractory to accede to the terms of their maters ; and what security have the public that funds thus legally collected shall not be perverted to other purposes. Whilst adverting to these difficulties in legislating on this - most importancsubject, it is right to add, that we cannot sufficiently depre cate the line of conduct lately pursued by the Workmen, not only towards their employers, but towards other workmen, who have not thought fit to join their associations. The use of force and threats on such occasions ought at all events to be put down, and combination, it it exist at all, ought to exist by the mere force of opinion only. The opinions of roost bodies of men are in general cor rect, and this might give some security that combination, if allowed, would not be turned from its proper and justifiable intentions, viz.the securing to the workmen a due reward for their labours. Perhaps the annexing a punishment, not only adequate to the injury done to the ob ject of their vengeance, but also adequate to the injury the public sustain thereby, might restrain this evil. The powers of an association ought to extend only to the members of it, not of necessity to cover all persons who happen to he employed in the same branch of trade. In this restricted form it is hardly possible that any great evil could arise from combination, and, if therefore, the new law were to be directed to restrain the evils that have been found to spring from combina. dons, rather than to restraining combinations altogether, and if such associations were put under the same regulations as Benefit or Friendly Societies now are, or nearly so, it would, per haps, go hard to remove all ground of complaint on either side. We are not sorry, however, that the ancient Laws regarding combinations have been repealed, because they were complex, in sufficient, and, worse than all, unjust. DOVER, MAT 3.—The Comet and Lightning Government steam-boats arrived here on Sunday, for the pur pose of conveying his Grace the Duke of NORTHUMBZILLAND and suite to Calais. The Marquis of Carmarthen, Lord Prudhoe, Lord Hervey, Lord Pelham, Lady W. W. Wynne, Lady H. Clive, and some others of the party, arrived last night-et the York Hotel; and this morning about nine the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland arrived there from Bisliopsboum, the seat of the Honourable and Reverend H. Percy, near Can terbury. The party embarked about ten o'clock on board the Comet, under a salute from the Western Heights, the Light ning following► with the carriages. On quitting the harbour, his Majesty's ship 'Brazen, Captain Willis, saluted the Comet, and, immediately getting:under weigh from her anchorage in Dover Roads, accompanied the two steam-vessels to Calais, with a fine breeze at west. The piers were lined with speaa tors, who heartily cheered the Noble Duke as he sailed from the harbour ; and there is every prospect of their having landed at Calais in less than three hours. It is reported that great preparations are making at Calais for their reception.—The Monarch, Captain Hayward, arrived yesterday from Boulogne, with Lady Francis OrSborne. By this vessel news is received that her Royal Highness the Duchess de Berry has determined to pass some weeks this summer at Boulogne, for the benefit of sea-bathing. • Mr. HuNTIER, sen. and Mr. HUNTER, jun., King's Messengers, have left town to accompany the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND on his Embassy to the .

Lord Ror.LE, Baron Rolle, died on the Ist inst., at his twat, Bicton House, Devon, after an illness of two days, in the 77th year of his age. lie was married to his first Lady on the 4th November, 1771: she died on the sth October, 1822. His Lord ship was next married to the lion. Louisa. Trefusis 18th Nov., 1823, by whom he had one daughter, who-died aged six months a'B turd four days. ine being no issue left, the title of Baron Rolle is extinct. The loyal spirit and political conduct Of 'this venerable Nobleman exposed him to the attacks of Party during the administration of Lord North, and gave occasion to the ce lebrated Poem entitled the Rora.lan, which was the joint pro duction of the chief - wits of Opposition. at that time, viz. the late General Fitzpatrick, Mr. Ellis, Joseph Richardson, and Dr. Lawrence; the latter of whom, however, was little more than the compiler of the whole. The Poem appeared in de t iched portions, and excited great attention. It possesses more merit than is generally found in the temporary effusions of party ' spirit. Conscious that this political attack upon his Lordship was the effect of his loyalty and attachment to the Constitution, Lord Rolle had good sense and good humour enough to,enjoy its plea santry, considering it as a tribute to' his political recti tude. The grand project of a Sim. CANAL uniting the ENGLIsir and BitisToL CRANWELs • has lost a power ful advocate and supporter in this Nobleman; but as his his affectionate relict sympathized in all: his benevolent and public-spirited views, it may be expected that, as far as de pends on her Ladyship, so importauta national measure will not want her zealous countenance and assistance, nor the unfor tunate and necessitous a liberal' benefactress. The Provincinl Parliament - off Lower Canada was prorogued by the Lieut.-Governor on the 22d of March. A dispute between the two branches of the Provincial Parliament, which had lasted fifteen years, concerning the expenditures of ' the province, was amicably terminated by the adoption by both Houses of a law, granting the supplies Oahe year, which has received the sanction of th Lieut.-Governer.. Several measures were adopted during the Session for making important im provements in the internal communications of the province and of the neighbouring provinces. • • .

Mr. Dorrington - - - Mr. Dow'rom. Sir George Paddle - • - - Mr. VINING. Forrester - . - - - Mr. RAYMOND. Mrs. Dorrington - - - Mrs. DAvisoN. Mrs. Dashmere I- • •- • - Mrs. GLOVER. The plot: consists - of embarrassments arising from a breach of duty on the part of a married couple. The husband (Dorrington), desirous of engaging in a party of pleasure, and pretending he NIIIS going to one of humdrum business, and the lady (Mrs. Dorrington), promising not .to visit - the house of a lady (Mrs. Dashmore), to %those character the husband objects, but to re main at home on that evening. It happens that •they both visit the same place, but luckily do not meet, though the wife sees and witnesses the gallantry of her husband. She has been subject to the amorous advances of a young man of fashion (Sir George • Fuddle), and being anxious to reach home before her husband, she'is conveyed there by her cousin Forrester, who had tempted her husband to the party, and introduced hint under the name of Jenkins. The contrition .of Mrs.• Dorrington for having 'visited , a prohibited place, yet the desire of reproaching her husband for his deception.and gallantry, and• his difficulty to conceal his own visit to the same spot, occasions many very diverting perplexities, n Mich, however, are satisfactorily adjusted in the end, and perfect harmony is restored. 'This very. diverting Drama is attributed to Mr. POOLF, the .Author of Simpson and Co.; and it will not detract from but rather increase the reputation which his former works of a similar description have justly enabled him to acquire. The dialogue is perhaps a little too long in some parts, and there is too vin dictive a spirit given to Mrs. Dashmore, formerly Mrs. Mortimer, which might easily be softened into a sportive and frolicsome mood, particularly ,as she appears to be good natured in the end. Put the Piece altogether is one of the most en tertaining. that we have for a long time attended, and it derived all possible advantage from the. acting, particularly that of DOWTON, VINING, RAYMOND (a 90D of the late Mr. RAYMOND., of 1 Drury-lace Theatre), Mrs.. DAvisosi, and MrS. GLoven. It was received throughout with uni;. versal applause, and was announced by DowTox 1 for repetition with the unanimous and hearty assent of n' very numerous audience. This amusing and successful - addition to the dramatic stores of the Haymarket Theatre was followed • by the Comedy of She Stoops to .Conquer, gene rally well supported, but .particularly by Dow- TON'S liar dcastle, Mrs. II umuv's - Mi , s. Ilard-' castle, and the Mrs. fiardcastle of Mrs. GLovEn - , who for the first time appeared in an elderly part. She is at present one of the very best co mic actresses of the passing day, and we are glad to see her beginning to prepare herself for cha• ratters which will be most suitable to her future time of life, to which she will, of course, bring all the advantage of experience, knowledge of 1 life, acuteness of observation, and comic spirit, that have invariably marked her acting, and thereby secure a permanent station at any The -1 etre that is conducted with, taste and judgment.
