(The Prussian State Gazette of the 4th January gives the proclamation of the Emperor of Russia, dated 24th December, but neither that number, nor those of the sth and 6th, conta'n a word of intelligence from Poland.) WARSAW, DEc. 30.—The manifesto mentioned in the Diet, to be addressed to the European States on occasion of the late event, will not be published, as we understand, ❑nless it should be decided that war is to take place. The Polish troops have now ammunition enough, be cause, on the evacuation of the fortress of Modlin, the magazines of the Lithuanian corps fell into the hands of the Poles. Modlin, the works of which required great repairs, is hardly to be recognised. Peasants, living twenty or twenty-five miles from the town, hasten to work with the greatest zeal, though their wages are ex tremely low. The people have hardly a drop of brandy to refresh them at this season. Sr. PETERSBURGH, DEC. 25.—The Adjutant-General Orlow is gone to Brzic Litewski. Vice-Admiral Count Hayden, Commander of the second division of the Baltic fleet, is now appointed Commander of the first division of the same fleet. His Majesty the Emperor, learning by the latest reports that the cholera has greatly abated at Moscow, has, in order to restore the communications between that city and the Governments of the interior, ordered the outer cordon to be removed, but with the observance of all due precautions. This measure was carried into effect in the night of the 17th December, to the great joy of the in habitants, who learning it on the Emperor's name day, has tened to the churches to implore the blessings of Heaven on their Soverei_ n, who watches with paternal care over the welfare of his faithful subjects. The Magistrates have taken measures to prevent all communication with the houses in which there are persons ill of the cholera. BONA, JAN. 2.—We have to lament a great loss. The Privy Counsellor of State B. G. Niebuhr, died at two o'clock this morning, after a few days' illness. WARSAW, DEC. 31.—The citizens of Mariapol have formed a regiment of cavalry and a battalion of infantry at their own expence, and sent a donation of half a mil lion of Polish florins to the Provisional Government. BRUSSELS, JAN. Grndebien, Member of the Provisional Government, has returned from his mission to Paris. During the sitting of yesterday, a portrait of the Duke of Leuchtenburg was presented to the Congress. The Members handed it to each other. A battalion of troops of the line arrived yesterday from Ath, and set out this morning for Antwerp. It is said that measures have been taken to4urnish the Chartreuse at Liege, and the citadels of Namur, Puy, and Venloo, with provi,ions for a month. NATIONAL CONGRESS. SITTING or SUNDAY, JAN. 9. The debate was continued on the section of the Consti tution relative to the head of the State. Art. 38 was adopted. Art. 39. " The head of the State is inviolable, his Ministers are responsible," was adopted, after a stormy liscue.ion, with an amendment of M. Marbourg, so that it now runs:—" The person of the head of the State is Art. 40. " No Act of the head of the State is voted, unless countersigned by a Minister, who thereby makes himself responsible." 41. " The bead of the State names and dismisses his Ministers." 42. " He fills up the offices in the General Administra tion and foreign relations, with the exceptions I sid down by the law. He does not appoint to other offices, except by the express enactment of a law." These three articles are adopted without discussion. Art 43. " He snakes the necessary regulations and de crees for the execution of the laws, without being able to suspend the laws themselves, and to dispense with the execution of them." These regulations and decrees shall be carried into effect by the Courts and Tribunals only so far as they are conformalde to the laws. After a long debate, the first paragraph was adopted, and the consideration of the second adjourned. SITTING, JAN. 10. The sections for January were balloted for. M. Sarlet de Chukier was again chesen President, and M. Gerlache Vice President. The President, standing, said :—" Permit me to ex. press my gratitude for the honour you have done me in giving me your votes for the third time. Heaven grant that this may be the last time that the Congress will have to choose a President, and that between this and the 11th of February, we may have given to the Belgic nation the constitution, the laws, and the chief, that it impatiently expects from us, and that we shall thus have consolidated the happiness of the country.—(Bravo, from all sides.) The President proposed that M. Gerlache, reporter of the Committee, should be heard relative to the request of the Dutch officers confined in prison at Tournay. This being acceded to, M. Gerlache brought up the petition of the Dutch officers of the garrison of Ghent, who affirm that they cannot be considered as prisoners of war or as hostages. The Magistracy of Mons made a declaration in their favour, but the officer who commanded at'Mons, where they were taken, says that it was in the midst of hostili ties, and consequently they were justly kept as prisoners of war. M. Duval de Beaulieu read a proclamation of the Belgic Go'rernment, invititig the Dutch officers to leave the fortress and return home ; they did so ; but were kept as hostages, when! Messrs. Ducpetiaux and Vletnincx were arrested by the Dutch. But they haring been released, we ought to set these officers at liberty. The Dutch, it is true, respect neither treaties nor the laws of war, but the Belgians might oppose probity to bad faith. M. Claus, Member of the regency of Mons, declared that the Dutch had not fired on the inhabitants, but that the latter fired first, and when the combat began there was at most one Dutch officer, all the rest were Belgians. M. de Rodenbach—lt is no matter who was the ag gressor they were taken after hostilities commenced. M. Cl Ins said not a single Dutchman had fired. M. Gendebein said they were justly made prisoners— they were ready to lay waste Mons with fire and sword, had not the Belgians deserted them. The Dutch, he said, are unjust and cruel, and always massacred their prisoners, —they had burnt one alive at Brussels, and another near Maestricht. The Dutch prisoners have no reason to com plain ; they are well treated ; the officers have their pay, and can walk about Brussels all day on their parole. It was proposed by M. Gerlache, and agreed to, to re fer these extraordinary statements to the Military Com mittee. Art. 44, relative to the Head of the State, giving him power to command the army and navy and declare war, and to conclude treaties ; and Article 45, declaring that he sanctions and promulgates the laws, were adopted. The Assembly adjourned. The following are extracts from the Hamburg Reporter of the 7th inst. received this morn ing : BOItSEN HALLE, JAW. 7.—The mild weather which we had a few days ago led to a general belief that the na viretion of the Elbe would have been open before the end of the week ; the two last nights, however, have been severe, so that this morning the navigation is completely closed, even for boats. Very little business is doing. The rise which followed the improvement in the French funds has not maintained itself, but has been succeeded by a reaction. Discount 3 and 21 per cent. End of January.

It is no less than a substantive charge against the East India Company for carrying on a traffic in slaves ! That Hon. body are not content with a monopoly in Asiatic produce, but they must to their other sources of wealth add the guilt of trepanning poor African children, in order to navigate their vessels at a chraper rate than could be in done with Euro peans ! Thi s i s th e mannerwhich u n b r idl e d cupidity brutaliz e s the human mind. The Com pany are Christians, or profess to be such, and yet enjoying their monopoly at the expence, and to the manifest prejudice of a Christian people, they are not content with gold, but must have human life sacrificed to their accursed avarice ! Is it not enoutjh for the Company to push their commercial advantages, but they must add to their sources of profit the advantages to be derived from a traffic i❑ slaves,—and that too in the face of those very laws passed for the suppression of the trade in slaves ? Really this is too bad. What boots it that England has expended large sums of money to bribe other nations to give up the slave trade, when a privileged body in the capital of the kingdom sets so bad an example to the cupidity of strangers ? We trust that the matter will be taken up in Parliament with a becoming spirit of indignation—and that justice will be (lone with a rigid hand. To-mor row we may perhaps recur to the subject, and point out some more enormities on the part of the Executive. At present we publish the following, which took place in the Supreme Court at Bombay, before the Honourable Sir JOHN PETER GRANT—and the rest of the Court, and Grand Jury:— " Tle Learned Judge, after adverting to the nature of the cases likely to come before the Grand Jury, and briefly explaining the law relating to them, concluded his address nearly as follows: " Gentlemen,—ln consequence of rumours which have reached me, and which you likewise must have heard, I have thought it my duty, not seeing any notice of such a case in the report made me, to inquire of the senior magis trate whether he was acquainted with the subject of this general rumour. I mean, that it is currently reported that a ship has arrived in this harbour bringing a considerable number of Africans, mostly boys and very young persons, taken on board on the coast of Africa, and remaining here in Bombay on board of ship. The magistrate, who is now in my eye (Mr. De Vitre), informed me that no in formation has been laid before him on which he can act as a magistrate, though he likewise has heard the rumour. I have thought it my duty to notice the matter to you, that you may, as the great inquest, inquire into it as a matter especially belonging to your important office. I trust and confidently expect that every thing will turn out most honourably for all the parties concerned. But it is only justice to them that the public mind should be satisfied, which your inquiry will do. But considering what we all know of the habits of the people inhabiting the coast of Africa—of the laudable jea lousy of the legislature of all intercourse with Africa for the purpose of bringing natives of Africa to any of the foreign possessions of his Majesty, it appears to me that it would be inconsistent with our duty, if hearing of these occurrences as matters generally known, I were to pass them over without calling your attention to them, or you even to pass them over without inquiry. It is due to the Public that the public mind should be set at rest. It is, if possible, still more due to the persons concerned, that such rumours, if unfounded, should he put down, which can in no way so effectually be done as by your inquiry in performance of your constitutional and important duty. The officers of the ship I understand are in Bombay, who can give you every information. AUGUST 2, 1830. " The Court this morning presented a very animated appearance, and but one feeling seemed to prevail, viz. an intense anxiety to hear the opinion of the learned Judges on the Grand Jury's presentment. The business of the day commenced at the usual hour, Sir James Dewar on the bench. " The Court-house continued to fill as it approached the appointed time for the Grand Jury to come into Court, and shortly after twelve o'clock Sir James Grant took his seat on the bench, upon which every eye was turned to the Grand Jury-room, and at last the welcome sounds of Clear the Court for the Grand Jury' were heard, when a general move was made, to approach as near as possible to where their Lordships sit. At last the Grand Jury en tered the box, and one of the members addressed the bench, and stated that their foreman was too ill to attend to deliver the presentment which was ready, upon which the Chief Justice suggested that they should select an other, unless they preferred adjourning. Sir John Grant also said, that as the sessions were not nearly over, there was time for them to await the recovery of their foreman, if they wished to adopt that course, the presentment was then re-delivered to them by the Clerk of the Crown, and they retired, leaving the spectators uncertain as to the course they were going to adopt. However, in a few minutes they re-entered the box, and delivered the following presentment, which was read to the Court by the Clerk of the Crown : " To the Honourable Sir James Dewar, Knt., Chief Justice, and the Hon. Sir John Peter Grant, Knt., Puisne Judge of his Majesty's Supreme Court of Ju dicature, Bombay, " My Lords,—The Grand Jury have given their most attentive consideration to the recommendation of the Learned Judge, Sir John I'eter Grant, at the opening of the present sessions, that they should inquire into the truth or otherwise of the rumours then in circulation, re specting certain native Africans, mostly boys, and v ry young persons, alleged to have been recently brought into this harbour, by a vessel from the African coast; and after a patient and very laborious examination of several days into the ease in question, now on their oaths unani mously present,—That the Hon. East India Company's sloop of war Clive, sailed from this port in the month of January last, to Bassadore on the island of Kishm, in the Persian Gulf, thence to Muscat, the islands of Socotra nd Zanzibar, and the river Lindy, on the eastern coast of Africa, and back to Bombay. " That this cruise was prosecuted under instructions from the Superintendent of the Marine to the Commander of the Clive, dated 4th January, 1830, founded on a pre vious correspondence between the Superintendent and the Government of Bombay, the former having, with a view to the more efficient mantling of the Hon. Company's Marine, requested permission to send a cruiser to the east coast of Aft ica, to endeavour to get young lads to enter for the service, and received shortly afterwards the authority of the Hon. the Governor in Council to despatch the Clive to the Gulf, and to run down to the neighbourhood of Zanzibar, to ascertain whether Government could by that means obtain some young lads from the east coast of Africa to man the Hon. Company's vessels of war. That whilst engaged on the service in question, thirty-six natives of Africa, apparently from the age of six years and upwards, principally between the ages of ten and fourteen, though some few seem to be of more advanced age, were received on board the Clive, thirty-two in the river Lindy, and four at or off the island of Zanzibar, on the return voyage to Bombay. " That the African boys so received and entered on board the Clive as marine boys, by the ship's books, were slaves at the period of their being engaged for the Hon. East India Company's Marine service. That two of the boys, by name Thomas Westley and John Stirling, received on board the Clive from the shore at Lindy, on the 9th and 11th May last, were exchanged on or about the 22d of that month for two others, borne by the same names on the ship's books, and from the same dates, 9th and 10th of May, from a bugla or Arab vessel in the river Lindy, to the Nacoda, of which, and some other persons, the two boys first mentioned were delivered ;—that whatever bounty was paid to induce the African boy's being sent on board the Clive, was not received by the boys themselves to their own use; that the boys in general have no other idea than they are still slaves, and or,e the same obedience to the Commander of the Clive that they paid to their former masters ; that no agreement appears to have been entered into between the Commander of the Clive and these boys as to their length of service ; and that from the extreme youth of a large portion of them, and their all speaking a language very imperfectly understood, even by the inter preter t tken on board at Muscat, and not at all understood by the Commander, officers, or crew in general, any agree ment that might have been entered into with these African boys, however well intentioned, must have been unintelli gible to them. And, lastly, that thirty-three of these boys are now on board the Hon. East India Company's sloop of war Clive, or other vessels of the Indian navy in Bombay harbour, the thirty- fourth having died a natural death, on the passage from Lindy to Bombay'. (Signed) "J. H. CRAWFORD, Foreman. " Bombay, Grand Jury Room, 2d August, 1830." "To which the Chief Justice returned the following reply : " Gentlemen of the Grand Jury,—l have listened with every attention to the presentment which has just been read. It is one of a most important nature, as it concerns a subject which has at all times commanded the greatest interest ; and as it affects very nearly a highly respectable service, I have to request your attention to some few ob- Lisbon. scrvations on its contents, and on the results which may spring from the inquiry in which you have been en gaged. _ _ _ " A presentment of a Grand Jury, when that term is used to imply an accusation, is that which it finds with out any formal indictment being delivered to them, but which is afterwards reduced to that shape. It is in fact considered as instructions to draw the indictment by; and differs from it, in that an indictment, or more properly speaking a bill, is drawn up at large am/brought engrossed to the Grand Jury to find. In practice, however, a pre sentment of a Grand Jury generally concerns some matter which comes within their own knowledge as a nuisance, a libel, or the like. In the presentment now before me, no doubt, some matter of serious accusation may be involved. It has not however gone so far as to make further investi gat:on unnecessary, much less is there in it so much pre cision as to render it in itself instructions for an indict ment ; as for example, no individual is by name connected with the result of your inquiry. It is nowhere said in what way, or from what description of persons, the boys in question were procured. It is said that they were slaves, but who or what their masters were, or how they had acquired them, in war or otherwise, or by what in ducements the masters were led to part with them, and other points which I might mention, are still unknown. It is said that the boys were slaves at the period of their being engaged for the Hon. East India Company's ser vice;' but the state of slavery in which they are de scribed to have been, and still suppose them to he ; the fact of two of them having been exchanged (whether with or without their consent) for two others from an Arab bugla in the river Lindy, are not mentioned ; the absence of all specific agreement as to time of service, there being no bounty received by the boys themselves, and the want of common language between them and the captain and officers of the ship (a want very imperfectly supplied by the interpreter), all conspire to prevent the same meaning being attached to the terms ' engaged for the service of the Hon. East India Company' as they would otherwise bear. I beg that in making these observations I may not be supposed to find fault with this presentment, or that 1 am insensible to the very praiseworthy manner in which this inquiry appears to have been conducted ; but. what I have said is sufficient to show that in the most favourable point of view in which your presentment can be taken to wards those most concerned in this matter, and in which point of view I desire to consider it, it is evident that the case cannot rest where it does now ; fairness to those im plicated in the inquiry, and the higher claims of public justice, equally prevent it. I am, however, at present re lieved from the necessity of bringing to your notice the law on this head as embodied in a recent Act of Parlia ment; should the result of an inquiry before the magis trates occasion this case again to come before you, it will be the duty of the Court to do so. " Sir John Grant made a few observations in general concurrence with the foregoing, and the Grand Jury re tired." SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

LAW INTELLIGE&CE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. PROTECTION OF THE St;IVIRS' FUND. The LORD CHANCELLOR, at the sitting Of ths Court, stated that after all the consideration he had been able to give this subject, he found it impossible for him to do any thing without the authority I.f Parliament. That the Suitors' Fund might be properly, it being now wholly, un protected, he had fancied that an Attorney and a Counsel might be employed (at the eapenee of the Fund) to appear wherever a demand was made upon it, but be did not now think he could make such an appointmeut without an Act of Parliament to that effect. That, however, theta might not he a new Act passed expressly for the purpose, he should get a clause (sufficient for it) introduced into the declaratory p•.irt of Sir t. B. Sugden's Act when Parlia ment next assembled. The SOLICITOR.-GENERAL said the Court at its discre tion had been in the habit of ordering many sin= to be paid out of the Suitors' Fund, such as the salaries of the officers of the Court, the expences attending keeping open Lincoln's Inn Hall, and so on. The Loan CHANCELLOR observed that that was very true, but yet any interference on the part of the Court with the Fund of any consequence had always been under the authority of an Act of Parliament. The 4001. a year ordered to be paid out of the Fund to the Masters of the Court in 1793, in addition to their salaries of 1,500/., was by an Act of Parliament. So also was it with respect to the expense of building the Vice-Chancellor's Court. On the whole it would be better to have a Parliamentary power to act—indeed the Court could do nothing with- out it. ROLLS COURT. His Honour the MASTER of the ROLLS sat at West minster, and took causes to-day, none of which, up to the period of our Reporter's leaving, possessed the least public interest. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. The VICE-CHANCELLOR was occupied the whole morn ing with arguments, pleas, and demurrers, totally destitute of any interest, except to the parties. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. THE KING V. KEARNEY, At the sitting of the Court the defendant, Lieutenant- General Kearney, against whom articles of the peace were exhibited yesterday by Mr. Astell, Chairman of the East India Company, was brought up in custody of the Gover nor of the Compter, for the purpose of giving bail. The affidavits of Mr. Astell, and Mr. Thornton, of the Secretaries' Office, were read. After relating various acts of annoyance on the part of the defendant, they stated that Mr. Kearney attended one of the meetings of the East India Directors, and there complained of some supposed grievance ; that he afterwards waited near the house until Mr. Astell lefr, when he (the de fendant) made up to Mr. Astell, and struck him a violent Wow with his umbrella. The blow was re• peated, and he was threatened to be given into the hands of the police, upon which be went away. On a subse quent day he again went to the India House, and going into the Secretary's office, declared he would be avenged, adding, " My only course is to appeal to Parliament, but perhaps that appeal will not be attended to, however I will not suffer destruction with impunity, either I or Astell fall." In consequence of his continued annoyance Mr. Astell felt bound to take him before the Lord Mayor, who ordered hin3 to enter into his own recognizance of 2001., and find two sureties of 100/. each, to answer any charge that might be preferred against him at the Sessions. The affidavit of Mr. Astell went on to state, that he bad never given General Kearney any cause of offence, and that he (Mr. A.) went in fear of his life. Lord TENTERDEN, addressing the defendant, told him he must enter into his own recognizances of 5001, and find two sureties for 2501. each, to keep the peace for twelve 'months. Defondant—l hope your Lordship will consider the difficulty I must experience is obtaining sureties. Y.O will consider my situation in this country. I have a wife and family in Calcutta. I do therefore hope that the sureties accepted by the Lord Mayor will be deemed sufficient. Lord TENTERDEN-They were only sureties for your anearance at the Sessions. This is quite a distinct matter. Defendant—l must again humbly beg of your Lord ships to consider my situation in this country. Lord TENTERDEN-The same persons, no doubt, would again be accepted, therefo►e it cannot do you any harm. You must withdraw.—Defendant—My Lord, the conversa tion between us relited Lord rENTERMEN—That is a subject we cannot enter into. Mr. Astell has sworn upon oath that he goes in bodily fear, and it is our duty to protect the safety of the subjects. You must enter into securities. Mr. ADAM—I hope the Court will o:der that 48 hours' notice shall be given to Mr. Astell. Lord TENTERDEN—CertainIy. The defendant said, he had thought the securities entered into before the Lord Mayor, were for his keeping the peace, and not for his appearance at the Sessions. Ile then entered into his own reeognizinees of bOW. and was removed in custody. Mr. Justice JAMES PARKS sat at .Nisi Prius in the Bail Court. No calm, of any interest was tried during the morning. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. CARPENTER. When Mr. Baron BAYLEY was to rise, this morning, the publisher of the Political Letter, Mr. Carpenter, hogged the Court would give him leave to move for a rule, calling upon the Clerk in Court to skew cause why he should not be:allowed to enter an appearance with out the intervention of a clerk in Court. Process was levied upon him on the Sth aJanuary, returnable on the I Itb, and the defendant supported his present application by an affi -1 ivit, in which he stated that as defendant in the action " Attorney-General against Carpenter," he went to the office for the purpose of entering his appearance to it; that on applying to Mr. Bowyer, one of the clerks in Court, he refused to enter appearance without being paid Its. 4d., which the defendant refused to pay, on the ground that he had a right by the ancient laws of the kingdom to appeal in person ; and further, that if he was to have a verdict in his favour against the Crown In would be unable to re cover that sum back again, as the Crown never paid any costs. Mr. Bowyer, the Clerk in the Court, said that it was the usual practice for a defendant to employ a clerk in the Court in all Crown cases. The defendant in the present case lizol come to the office to enter his apFearance, which he (Mr. Bowyer) refused to enter unless paid the usual fees. Mr. Carpenter observed that he was informed it was ne cessary to enter an appearance in the office in the Temple, and that he merely called there for the purpose of having it done. But he thought he ought to he at liberty to do it himself, and not through the intervention of the clerk in Court. Mr. Baron BAYLEY—You want to be at liberty to enter an appearance in person. Take a rule to show cause. Mr. Carpenter—But, my Lord, if an appearance is not entered to-day, I am afraid jwigment will go against me by default. Perhaps your Lordship will have the•kind ness to stay the proceedings. Mr. Baron BAYLEY—No, I cannot do that. I think the best course for you to pursue will be to pay the money for entering the appearance, and then move for a rule to show cause why it should not be refunded to you. After some further conversation between Mr. Carpenter, Mr. Bowyer, and the Learned Judge, it was arranged that Mr. Carpenter should pay the fees, and enter his appearance,—his Lordship giving him leave to call upon the clerk to show cause why the money should not be returned. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. HICKMAN WAKLET. Mr. Serjeant SPA NKIE this morning chewed cause against a rule nisi obtained by Mr. Serjeant Wilde on a former day, for a new trial in this case. It will be re membered that in the sittings after last Trinity Term, a verdict was obtained by the plaintiff on an acceptance of the defendant's for 101/. 10s. The Learned Serjeant, on moving for a new trial, contended that the paper delivered for this bill was contrary to the contract made by the parties. Mr. Serjeant Spankie contended there was no evidence of special contract, and if his client supplied the defendant with paper suitable for printing pamphlets on, or the trial of Cooper v. Wakley on, it was quite sufficient, as, he repeated, there was no contract for it to he for the special purpose of the Lancet. However, if the defendant would pay the money, into the Cuurt he would not object to a new trial. Mr. Serjeant WILDE said he was sorry his Learned Brother bad not stated to him his intentions yesterday, as in the absence of his client he could not give an imme diate answer. The Court then gave time for him to consult with his client, and mention the case again when he had ,o done. COVENT-GARDEN.-MiSS FANNY KEMBLE made her first appearance last night as Bianca, in MILL - MAN'S revived tragedy of Fazio, and went through it in her usual style of excellence. The house was crowded. COURT CIRCULAR. A conference of the representatives of the Great Powers, on the affairs of Belgium, was held yesterday afternoon at the Foreign Office. It was attended by Prince TALLEY -11,4 ran, the French Ambassador, Prince LIEYEN, the Rus sian Ambassador, Prince ESTERHAZr, the Austrian Am bassador, Aaron BULow, the Prussian Minister, the Baron OE WOL EISSEMBtS, Count MATUCEWITZ, a nd Viscount PALMERSTON.

Mr. LlNcowc has been re-appointed orgrn-builder to his present MAJESTY. The Mexican Minister transacted business yesterday at the Office of the Board of Trade. His Excellency &so transacted business at the Foreign Office. BRIGHTON, JAAN. 12. Their MAJESTIES drove out yesterday for a considerabl e roe in a carriage and four with outriders, and returned t o he Palace at four o'clock. In the forenoon the KING gave audiences to Count MUNSTER, Sir HENRY SEATON, Lieutenant-Colonel DRUMMOND, and Captain WOOLMORE. Prince LEOPOLD rode on horseback, and subsequently walked on the Steyne and Cliff's. Prince GEORGE of Cambridge, accompanied by his tutor, the Rev. Mr. HEavEr, walked on the Western Esplanade for some time. The Prince is very much im proved in his appearance, and has become a universal favourite. He possesses the most amiable disposition, and natural abilities of a very superior description. The truly British sentiments and feeling inculcated by his ta lented preceptor, must ever render Prince GEORGE of Cambridge a favourite with the people of England. The Earl and Countess of ERROL took leave of their MAJESTIES, and have returned to Bognor. Lotd and Lady ManTrontounn, the Marchioness WEL LEstrv, Miss CATON, Miss BAGOT, and Captain WOOL-.

We now cannot even breakfast together without the kind notice of the representative of Majesty. Another proclamation has appeared prohibiting coffee at Home's ; but, alas ! such a proceeding is too serious for jest, and is only not ludicrous because it is lamentable. It is truly lamentab:e to find the Marquis of Anglesea so badly ad vised as to neutralise all the salutary influence which his character once had upon the Irish mind. Ilis bad ad visers must have represented to him that the question of the repeal of the Union existed only by the breath of a few agitators in Dublin, otherwise it would be insanity to suppose that to silence them would be to extinguish the question. They cannot he silenced, and the question would not be extinguished if they were. The question exists in the frame and nature of Irish so ciety—it is engesgered there by the wants and grievances of the people, arising from the exhaustion produced by a non-resident Parliament ; and if it be indeed a malady, it is one, the poison of which will work into the constitn, ion with the more activity, by the attempt to exclude the wholesome atmosphere of political discussion. Men no longer think by act of Parliament, or cease to think by proclamation ; and Lord Anglesea may be assured that the very effort to suppress the expression of thought will render the thought itself more bitter, more disseminated, more determined, and more enduring. The following is the material portion of the proclama- tion:-- " And whereas it bath been made known to us, that an assembly or body of persons has been in the habit of meet ing weekly, at a place in the city of Dublin, called Home's Hotel, Usher's-quay, and that the said assembly has been designed, and the meetings thereof held, for the purpose of disseminating seditious sentiments, and of exciting amongst his Majesty's subjects disaffection against the ad ministration of the law, and the constituted authorities of the realm, " And whereas we deem the existence of the said as sembly or body of persons, and the meeting thereof, to be dangerous to the public safety, and inconsistent with the due administration of the law." TO THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND. Merrion-square, 10th January, 1831. Another act of legal despotism has been committed. We are the bound slaves of a power created by law— and which, therefore, should be submitted to. A single Englishman Can, in this our native land, dictate to us. lie can use the most false and audacious calum, vies with impunity—but, above all things, his will is made the arbiter of our conduct. Another Proclamation has been issued by the veracious Lord Anglesea—he has prohibited breakfists at Home's. This veracious Lord Anglesea's Proclamation must be obeyed. Let us obey it readily—let no man breakfast at Home's.—Alas! poor Home! But at breakfast, dinner, and supper, let every Irishman recollect that he lives in a country where one Englishman's will is law. I write hastily to warn my countrymen not to violate the law in any one point. Let there be no species of tu mults or illegal meetings—let us wait patiently—let us not be betrayed into acts whirls would give our enemies satis faction. Patience, my friends—patience. The time is not dis tant, when by taking no other than legal courses, and by always remaining right, and putting our enemies, in the wrong, we shall attain legislative independence. Obey the law in all things. This is our perpetual watch-word— obey the law—and those who trample us down at preaent, will, in the strong power of a reformed Parliament, meet punishment and degradation. Be therefore patient, and obey the law. Alark me well, we can surece,l only by not violating the law. 1 with great difficulty restrain every feeling of indigna tion at living ink enslaved nation, where a proclamation is law—hut I know that the remedy is not to be found in any other than a quiet, peaceable, legal, but determin ed course.
