" I will confine myself to a very few words on the sub ject of Algiers—it would lead me too far were I to in quire whether the the is undertaken at a seasonable period—whetherthe troops are sufficient in number, whether the requisite funds are to be asked of the Cham bers. But, putting aside all these serious considerations, I will declare that I ever shall be of opinion that any in sult offered to the flag of France should be chastised, whether coining from a pirate or from the first Potentate in Europe. But, when I hear it repeated that we have obtained permission to transport our soldiers into Africa, I cannot forbear demanding whose permission it is we have to ask. Had the &d Captains, whom I see within these walls; occasion twenty years ago to solicit passports from the British Admiralty to display their victorious flags from one end of Europe to another? Nor run I aware, on the other hand, that we countersigned the commission of Lord Exmouth when he sailed for the bombardment of Algiers. _ _ Having thus adverted to our foreign relations, I will turn to our internal concerns. The last words of the Speech of the Crown, taking them in the clear and ,logical sense they convey, as a threat to Ministers that they will appeal to the people, in case their views are not followed, have filled me with consternation. Superior talents may excuse, if they cannot fully justify, b o ld an d h azar d ous enterprises. 'Genius his its dictatorship and its tyranny, and sometimes they are submitted to ; but blame must in evitably fall on Ministers, who, having never directed the affairs of a great nation, do not fear by their very- first measure to shake the throne, and compromise established rights and interests, and every social compact. At the period immediately preceding the formation of the present Cabinet, were associations to refuse the payment of the taxes heard of? Was there occasion to complain of the manifestation of certain opinions? Now our institutions are threatened, and as every action will produce its reac tion, bring forward principles of despotism, and you will be answered by axioms of democracy. " To the real partisans of liberty nothing can be more de sirable than that the first act to which a usurpation, whether republican or monarchical, is compelled, should be. to de prive France of the liberty of the Press and freedom of speech. There is a power of resistance, of whiCh I have a right to boast, because I do not derive it from my own strength, but from the nature of things; let there be but placed before me a usurpation of any kind, and leave me but the use of my pen, and I will not ask for a twelvemonth either to convince my King or bring myself to a scaffold. Liberty is the best ally of legitimacy ; let them but remain united, and every ambi tious plot may be scorned. Th s liberty is also, gentle men, the best security of your existence as an aristocracy. The privileges of the other Chambers are the guarantees of yours. Those who imagine that an hereditary Chamber may maintain its ground alone in the midst of the nation, and supply a national representation, are the blindest or most extravagant of men. Noble Peers ! a revolution proceeding from below is in these times impossible—but it may come from above—it may spring from a misguided Ministry, ignorant both -of its country and the age in which it exists. But I restrain the expression of my thoughts. All that I refrain from pronouncing here, 1 prayed to be allowed to lay before the King, when I so licited the painful permission of resigning at his feet the benefits he had conferred upon me. Who can tell what effect words dictated by a truly faithful and Inyal heart might have produced ? These words, however, it was not permitted me to utter. The concluding sentence of the speech has but too well justified the anticipations that induced me to relinquish a post so conformable to my taste and pursuits. It was not abandoned without infinite regret._ " Not wishing, gentlemen, to vote against the excellent address, nor to separate myself from my noble friends who give it their assent because they find in it nothing that ap proves or praises,—at the same time desirous of not op posing the majority of the Chamber, but, on the other hand, not being able to divest myself of the conviction that the terms of the address are nut sufficiently strong, I have come to the resolution not to give any vote at all ; thus endeavouring to reconcile the consistency of my Par liamentary connexions with my political scruples." VISCOUNT CHATEAUBRIAND. (From the Courrier Francais.) CHAMBER OF PEERS. If the attitude of the Ministers and their friends was impassable during the whole Session, their conduct was not void of address on the division. To disguise the small ness of their number, and to avoid making their minority apparent, they hit on the expedient of voting with the ma jority, and thus there resulted, in fact, a unanimity from this trick. However, several Peers abstained from voting for reasons very different from those which induced M. de Chateaubriand to take no share in the division, as he had announced. This Noble Peer rose to make a speech, which he was pleased to communicate to us that very evening (Monday). The following is the tenor of the speech of the Viscount de Chateaubriand : " Gentlemen,—lt is not my intention to propose any change in the Address, which appears to me to be very powerful, moderate, full of consistency and dignity. I shall take advantage of this opportunity to explain the prin ciples which have lately actuated my conduct. I should not have felt myself called upon to do so had I not been accused by the command, or, at least, by the permission of authority, of being a traitor and a renegado. I desire four things for my country :—the religion and altars of St. Louis ; legitimate possessors of the throne of Henry IV. ; and liberty and honour for every Frenchman. That the Ministers of the present day have intended to maintain all these, I did not doubt; but I could not help fearing front the first, and that from the ♦ery composition of the Council, that the public interests would be placed in jeopardy. I conceived that, wishing to find ancient France in her present re novated state, Ministers might place reality in danger by attempting or by combating chimeras. Already have they dragged themselves to the edge of a precipice. With what sorrow and regret must they have considered them selves compelled to strike one of those blows which, after all, alarm no one. A Peer of France, a brave officer, a faithful servant of the Crown, the son-in-law of the late Chancellor Dambray (M. Donatien de Sesmaisons), has been smitten, even when the mouth of that President whose loss we still deplore, was scarcely closed, and that for having voted according to his conscience. At length Ministers have dictated the Speech from the throne. It comprehends the whole of their system, which I will hastily examine. It commences with a succinct exposi• tion of our foreign relations. We are first informed that Greece is about to receive a ruler. The Speech does not name him ; but he is well known. The protocol of London stipulates that the Sovereign of Greece shall not be selected front the family of either of the three Powers who were parties to the treaty. The close aldance of Prince Leopold with the House of Brunswick has not been regarded as a relationship. His 'enjoyment, by virtue of an Act of Parliament, of all the honours of the Royal Family, and of an annuity payable by the people, have been considered as unimportant, and as not coming within the letter of the protocol. Be it so—still it is not the less true that France has marched her armies, despatched her fleets, and expended her treasures, to place the son-in law of the King of England on the Throne of Greece. In the meantime permit me to aak what has Great Britain done to entitle her to reign by her own representative over the Greeks? She opposed, as far as was in her power, their restoration to freedom. She expressed wishes for the success of the oppressors against the oppressed. For the victory of the murderers of fathers and the en slavers of children. And the liberty of Greece is placed under the protection of the cannon of Corfu, which so ably defended freedom at Parga! Let war again break out in the East, and we shall see the garrisons of Gibraltar, Malta, and the lonian islands, occupy the strong places our troops have just quitted. What resistance can the crowned Sheriff of the Morea offer to the nation who pays him his pension, or to the King whose daughter he mar ried? The British fleet will be manned with Greek sailors, and the commerce of the Archipelago and the Morea will be engrossed by the merchants of London. For us, who have spread through the East the renown of our ancient line of Kings, we content ourselves with the character of illustrious travellers to celebrated shores, and the glory of presenting to an English Prince a sceptre forged with our gold and consecrated by our blood. The story is romantic; but our Ministers have converted it into history. Was there to be found no where it. Europe an experienced Prince, a true friend to the Greeks, who would devote himself to th-ir Crown ? If so, was there no son of Royalty who, under able tutors, might have ac quired the language of Theinistocles, and derived his legi timacy from the bosom. of Greece? Let it not, however, be supposed that I am of opinion that we ought to violate the treaty. No ; a loyal Government must hold itself bound by its signature, even though it be found to have been inconsiderately affixed. Let Prince Leopold, then, remain Sovereign of Greece. Still there is no cause, in this negotiation, for reproach to England—she has ably played her part. Without expending a shilling, and without marching a single soldier, she has given a Sove reign to Greece. Her policy is less frank, but more posy tive, than our's—we have borne the charges, she has reaped the benefits. Scum cuiquc. " I will now refer to the passage on Portugal. The address pronounces wishes in favour of legitimacy. Don Miguel is King by virtue of the choice of the people. Wit nesses of the revolution that subverted the throne of Louis XVI , we ought not to capitulate easily to the doctrine of the sovereignty of the people.

He wished for a large reduction of taxes. He was desirous of bringing back the happy days of Eng land, when an Englishman's home was his castle, and when, st ith his wife and family, he could enjoy his home brewed ale without the curse of the exciseman's visit.— (Cheers. ) Mr. LARKIN little expected to be called on to move an amendment to an address to his Majesty; but he found himself bound to do so, because that which was proposed was not calculated to meet the wishes of the county, or to remove the evil of which the people complained. He was sorry to differ from the Noble Lords, but this was the time when truth should be spoken and delusion exposed. In that address there was not a single word about Parliamen tary Reform or the Chosch Establishment, a deficiency which he meant to remedy by proposing another address. The distress was not the effect of the change in the cur rency, nor of over-population, nor over-production ; no, the cause of the evil was over-taxation ; it was that which was now grinding the people down, and was crippling the resources of the country.—(Cheers.)—But why did not Noble Lords and wealthy Commoners state that in both Houses of Parliament ? Simply because their children and their poor relations were supported out of the taxes.

In pursuance of a requisition, signed by upwards of 250 freeholders of the county of Kent, and addressed to the High Sheriff, E. Price, Esq. that gentleman convened a meeting of the freeholders, which was held yesterday on Penenden Heath, for the purpose of considering of the propriety of addressing his Majestyon the present appalling distress of the country, and of petitioning both Houses of Parliament on the same subject, and also on the necessity of pressing on the attention of the Legislature the benefits that would result from a full and effectual reform in the Commons House of Parliament. At twelve o'clock the High Sheriff ascended the waggon, which, instead of hustings, was placed in the front of the dilapidated Shire-hall. Amongst the Nobility and Gentry present we observed Earl Stanhope, Lord Teynham, the Earl of Winchihtea, John Wells, Esq. M.P., Sir Edward Knatchbull, M.P., W. P. Honeywood, Esq. M.P., T. L. Hodges, Dq., Major Wayth, Gippa, Esq., Bradley, Esq., Bentley, Esq. tce. The Deputy Sheriff having read the requisition— The Hinu SHERIFF proceeded to open the business of the day. He observed, that when he had received a requi sition so numerously and respectably signed, no doubt or difficulty could arise in his mind to preclude him from convening the present meeting. Earl STANHOPE then came forward. He amongst many others, had signed the requisition for convening the present meeting ; and he did so under the firm impression that there never was an occasion when it was so incumbent on the people to address the King, and the two Houses of Parliament, on the severe distress which pressed upon and afflicted all branches of productive industry throughout the country—(Cheers)—and to demand that relief to which they were undoubtedly entitled.—(Cheers.)—With the same feeling as that which now actuated him, he had, at the opening of the Session of Parliament, called on the House of Lords to pledge themselves to inquire into that distress, and to devise some effectual means of relief— (Cheers)—and if the inquiry which he called for had been granted, and the country had a right to expect that it would have been granted, the present meeting would have been quite unnecessary. But as no prospect had been held, out by Ministers that relief would be afforded, as they de clared that the distress was partial, and was occasioned by causes beyond the zontroul of Parliament, it only remained for the people to petition the two Houses of Parliament, and to appeal to the beneficent and paternal feelings of the King.—(Cheers.)—He should consider it an unwarrant able waste of their time, and a gross insult to their under standings, if lie attempted to prove that which was known to them all—the intolerable pressure cf the prevailing dis tress.—(No, no ;we feel it.)—lt affected, in the greatest degree, the interest of the labouring classes, whose hap piness was as dear to him as his own—whose exertiosa were of the utmost consequence to the country—and whose welfare, therefore demanded the serious attention of Parlia ment.—(Cheers.)—He believed the present distress was not partial, but universal. It did not arise from tempo rary circumstances, as had been falsely stated ; and if not immediately relieved, that distress must inevitably increase. —(Cheers.)—The cause of that distress was to be found in the measures of Parliament, which had ruined the agri culture, the manufactures, the trade and commerce of the country.—(Loud cheering.)—The only thing they could do to restore prosperity would be to retrace their steps, and come back once more to the system under which the country had been prosperous and happy. He had prepared an address, which, after stating the distress which prevailed in that and every part of the kingdom, and the effects which that distress had produced, went on to beseech his Majesty to direct his Ministers to take measures for the purpose of removing the evils which surrounded the country.—(" The • ►ly mire," exclaimed a freeholder, " is Parliamentary Reforro.")—A person had called out for Parliamentary Reform, and he would say, that, to Parlia mentary Refean, if founded on proper principles, and conducted in a temperate manner, he was the decided friend.—(Chcers.)—But let not the people delude them selves with the hope or expectation that if the principle of reform were acceded to, it could be carried into effect in time to relieve their present distress. It could not be effected in a moment--it would take time to digest and mature the plan of reform, and in the interim the people must suffer.—(" What do you think of Major Cartwright's Bill?")—In answer to that he would say, that they had not met there to discuss that or any other plan of reform, but simply to consider how they could get rid of the pre vailing distress. That distress arose from the want of due encouragement being given to agriculture, to manufactures, and trade. Shipping, which ought to be their bulwark in time of trade, had fallen into decay, and the change in the currency, together with the weight of taxes, bowed the people to the earth. The Noble Earl concluded by moving the following Address : TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. THE HUMBLE ADDRESS OP THE FREEHOLDERS OF THE COUNTY OF SENT, IN COUNTY MEETING ASSEMBLED. Most Gracious Sovereign,—We, your Majesty's most dutiful and faithful subjects, the Freeholders of the County of Kent, re quest permission to represent with all humility to your Majesty the grievoiss and unexampled distress which afflicts all branches of productive industry throughout the country, and which, in our opinion, is not partial in its extent, nor temporary in its nature, but arises from causes, by which, unless effectual relief should be speedily administered, the es its that are now suffered would not only be continued, but even aggravated. We beg leave further to state to your Majesty, that a continu ance of the present distress must render it utterly impossible for your Majesty's subjects to pay the existing taxes, national bankruptcy, an d m i g ht, i n o th e r r e spects, produce con sequences that wo u ld en d anger , if no t d es t ro y, a ll th e p re sent in stitutions of thi s country. might lead to a We humbly entreat the gracious attention of your Majesty to the cause of the • calamities which we now deplore, and of which thapressure is most severely felt, and which have, in our opinion, arisen from the want of due protection to the agriculture and to the domestic industry of the country ; arid also from an altera tion of the currency, that has very much reduced prices, and therefore very muck increased the weight of all the taxes and en gagements to which we are subject. We therefore conjure with all humility your Majesty's most gracious interposition to relieve your suffering and afflicted sub jects, to avert from the country the dangers to which all its insti tutions are now exposed. Lord TEYNHAM seconded the motion, and expressed his belief that this meeting would have a powerfureffeet... THE HUMBLE PETITION OF THE FREEHOLDERS OF THE COUNTY OF 'CENT, AT A COUNTY MEETING HELD ON TENENDEN HEATH, THIS 12TH DAY OF MARCH, AND WHICH WAS DULY COAYENED BY THE HIGH SHERIFF, TO CONSIDER THE DISTRESS OF THE COUNTRY TO OUR MOST GRACIOUS SOVEREIGN KING GEORGE THE FOURTH, May it please your Majesty,—We, your Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, the Freeholders of the County of Kent, beg leave to assure your Majesty of our sincere and unalterable attachment to your Majesty's sacred person and family, and of our entire confidence in your Majesty's anxiety at all times to exercise your higb, prerogative in a manner best calculated to promote the hap piness of your people: This knowledge of your Majesty's gra cious disposition induces us to approach with confidence your Royal ear, and make known the dreadful distress which per vades every class of your Majesty's most faithful subjects. We most humbly beg leave to represent to your Majesty that we have viewed with sorrow the great and daily increasing distress, and have waited with awful suspense the Meeting of Parlia ment, and not doubting but that the first, and leading measure of the Session, would have been an inquiry into the causes of, and an endeavour to alleviate the misery of your faithful people ; but it is with considerable sorrow that we observe the conduct your Majesty's Ministers have pursued upon the opening of Parliament, is by no means calculated to satisfy our hopes and expectations. We, therefore, deem it a duty we owe to your Majesty, to our families, and to our fellow subjects, most humbly to lay our complaints at at the floot of your Majesty's throne and to press upon your Majesty to cause, without delay, a strict and scrutinizing inquiry to be instituted into the causes of the dreadful state into which our unhappy country is reduced, with a view to afford some practical relief to a suffering, but loyal population. We beg most humbly to inform your Majesty of the existence of anomalies that threaten the dissolution of society itself, and equally involves the safety of your Majesty's throne and the hap pine.ss of your people. We have a population increasing in intelligence and numbers, which in other countries considered a source of wealth, becomes a burden in ours. A great and avowedly increased commerce, affording no return to the adventurer. 'lhe industry of the mer chant and manufacturer can produce no profit. The labour of the artisan is either uncalled for or unrequited. The agricultu rist also, notwithstanding advantages of discoveries and an im proved system of culture, sees, year after year, his stock decline in value, and his capital wasting. The tradesmen, never more sober and industrious, every day sinking into the ranks of paupers. Engendering with them anomalies we have no hopes, either from Ministers or Parliament, the powers of which are only engaged in the imposition of fresh burdens upon your faithful people. lour Majesty's Ministers have declared their determination to conduct the affhirs of the country upon the principle of economy; but your humble petitioners would have felt greater satisfaction had similar professions, made upon former occasions, been re deemed ; but your Majesty's faithful subjects regret that after fourteen years of uninterrupted peace, they find their burdens undiminished, and their means of meeting them have been every year decreasing. Your Majesty's faithful subjects have thus far laid before your Majesty their distress, and the causes which they humbly conceive to be the cause of these dreadful disasters. That your petitioners are most ready to bear a part of every burden absolutely necessary to support the just dignity of your Majesty's Crown, and the honour and safety of the country; and they have not the least wish to withhold any supplies that might be thought adequate to the duties performed ; but your people cannot refrain from making known to your Majesty, that they consider it is by the oppressive load of impositions, in the shape of taxes, with which the nation is weighed down, that all its in dustrious energies are crippled. That your petitioners arc fully aware that the burden has been aggravated by the confidence and support given by former Parliaments to both improvident and prodigal Ministers, which support would never have been given, had the Members of the Commons House been what they pretended to be—the Represen tatives of the people. Your Majesty's faithful subjects therefore hope that you will cause an immediate inquiry into the Military and Church Establishments, and into all sinecures for the pur. pose of annulling them, and great economy in the payment of public servants, as the means of at once alleviating the sufferings of your people. That your petitioners have no hopes but in your Majesty's pa ternal goodness, for they cannot but express their belief that the majority of Parliament are interested in keeping up those enor mous establishments, and continuing those pensions and offices, of which your distressed subjects so justly complain ; and the) further implore your Majesty to direct your Ministry to support the measures of Reform in the Commons House ; and that the people may no longer be excluded from their share in the fram ing of those laws which the Constitution entitles them to, and which measures would be attended with the happiest results equally to the industry, the dignity of your Majesty's Crown, and to the happiness of the people. This was his address, and lie asked whether it did not apply more properly to the subject of distress than the milk-and-water address of the Noble Earl. Mr. BENTLEY seconded the address. Sir W. COSWAY contended that it would be more con stitutional not to notice the question of reform in the House of Commons, in an addrestk to his Majesty. Sir E. KNATCHBULL regretted what had fallen from the gentleman who had moved the amendment. They were met that day to consider of the prevailing distress, and be should have been glad if the observations had been confined to that subject only.—(Cheering. )—lf he could for a mo ment, as a Member of the House of Commons, consent to point out to the King in what way he might effect a reform in the House of Commons, he telt that he would be unworthy of the confidence of his constituents. He hoped that Mr. Larkin would withdraw his amendment, and let the original address be carried unanimously.—(Cheers.) Mr. Laitictx denied that the course he had taken, in addressing the King on the subject of Parliamentary R!- form, was unmnstitutional. For forty years they had been sending petitions to the Lords and Commons, praying f o r reform, to which no attention had been paid, and there fore he conceived it was high time for the people to go even to the throne itself. The question was then put, and, on a show of hands, the High Sheriff declared the amended address of Mr. Larkin to be carried in the affirmative. —(Great cheering.) Air. BRADLEY then rose to propose a petition to the House of Commons, describing the distress to be so 'peat as to prevent individuals from p tying the existing taxes, ascribing the sufferings of the people, in a great degree, to the alteration of the currency, and praying for relief, and also for a reform in Parliament, by which their just weight in the legislature might be restored to the people of England. Sir W. COSWAY seconded the motion in a short speech, in which he argued that a reduction of taxation to a con• siderable extent would afford great and immediate relief. Major W.I. YTII then moved, as an amendment, a pe tition, which, after reciting the severity of the distress, went on to state, that nothing could save the country from convulsion and bloodshed but a prompt end effectual relief of the poor rates and the petitioners point out a source of relief instantly available. They allude to the national property called church property, and they are of opinion that an appropriation of a considerable part of the church revenue ought to be made in aid of the poor rate.. They particularly advise, that as the Bishoprics become vacant, the successors appointed to fill them shall be paid a fixed salary, not exceeding 3,000/. a year. That deacons, pre bendaries, and persons holding livings, should hereafter be paid in the same manner. Tha t parochial livings should also be paid by a fixed salary—no person holding such a living to have less than SOO/. or more than 700/. a year, and that in such places tithes should Le abolished. . That when an advowson fell being private property, the patron should receive a fair compensation from Go vernment,—and thus they hope that in th e cour se o f t i me , re K du in e g e( d i ot t n o . a T e hsecyalpera ofy tithes, that bane of agriculture, if not of religion itself, roportioned steary of the a t jhh7:;ll2 allb;e that tb ni e vzhiaienraivetyshme anda yUnited)ip Mr. Honnxs inculcated the necessity of unanimity on this occasion, and suggested that all parties might with pro priety support the petition of Mr. Bradley. Mr. How woo), with respect to the existence of dis tress, believed that out of the Celina there was but one opinion on the subject. He believed that the agricultu ral, commercial, - and manufacturing classes, were all dis tressed, and he thought they could not use too strong terms in calling on Parliament for a reduction of taxation, which would afford immediate relief. Taxation, overwhelming, oppressive, overbearing taxation, was the cause of the dis tress, and be pledged himself to use his most strenuous efforts to reduce it. Sir E. KNATCHITILL suggested the propriety (as ►ina nimity Wall of the utmost consequence o■ this occasion) of one of the two petitions, those of Mr. Bradley and of Mr. Gipps, which were very nearly alike, being with drawn, and thus leaving the question to be decided between Major Wayth's petition and that which remained. The Marquis of WIWCHILSIA a!so strongly insisted on the necessity of unanimity. Mr. Glees then consented I. withdraw his p titien ; and, on a shim of hands; the amendment of Major Wayth was lost, and the original petition of Mr. Bradley was carried. A similar petition to the House of Lords was then agreed to. Earl Stanhope and Lord Teyahant were requested to present the petition to the Lords, :anti Sir E. Knatebbull and Mr. Honywood to the Conantoes. Mr. BENTLEY then proposed, as a resolution--" That it is the opinion of this meeting, that among the causes of the distress which so generally pervades this country, there is none so powerful as the tithe system, which, by inflicting a tax of the tenth of the gross produce of the land, is productive of most injurious consequences to the community at large, to the agriculturist in particular, and to the in terests of religion itself; to the community, by inevitably increasing the price of articles of the most nessessal y con sumption; to the agriculturists, by subjecting them to vexatious restrictions in the cultivation of land, by pre venting them from competing with the foreign fAraner, or meeting the overwhelming importation of grain, Is hick it is the present policy of this country to encourage; and to religion, by creating disputes between the clergyman and his parishioners, which destroy that harmony which should subsist between them, and on which his success so much depends; and therefore Parliament east legislate to no purpose better than the abolition of that oppressive and impolitic system."—Carried amidst loud sheers. Mr. ELLIS moved as a resolution " That it is the opi nion of this meeting, that the repeal of the duty on malt. and the permission of a free trade in beer, afford considerable relief to the poor."—Carried unanimously. Thanks were then voted to the High Sheriff, and the meeting was dissolved. COURT CIRCULAR. The Duke and Duchess of CLACIYCZ same to town yesterday morning from their residence in Bushy Park. Their Royal Highnesses visited the Princess AUGUSTA at her residense in the King's Palace, st. James's ; the Princess entertained the Dyke and Duskiest, aid also the Duchess of GLoucurzt, to a (kolas. The Duchess of CLitzeNcs and the Princess took as airing together in the Regent's-park and its neighbourhood. The Duke of CLARINCI presided in the evening at the Coyest garden Theatrical Fund Dinner, at the Freemasons Tavern. The Duke of Strssitx world have favoured the party with his company, bat declined in consequence of the decease -o f Lady AUGUSTA DI AMILARD, to whore his Royal High ness was married in 1795, which marriage was subse quently declared null and void. Owing to the death of her Ladyship, his Royal Highness declined presiding at the Festival of the Masonic Institution for Girls, and was also absent from a dinner party gives by the Duke and Duchess of GLOUCICSM, on Friday, to which his Royal Highness had previously been engaged. The Royal Duke, who has been slightly indisposed, took a■ airing in his carriage. The Duke of CUMBIERLAYD came to tow■ on horseback yesterday from Ms residence at Kew. His Royal High ness returned to Kew in the afternoon. Prince LEOPOLD came to town yesterday morning from his residence at Claremont. The Duchess of Keter entertained the Duchess of CLARENCE and Prince LzoroLn to dinner yestet day even ing, at her residence in the King's Palace at Kensington.

The Russian Ambassadwr had a long conference with the Earl of ABERDEEN yesterday at the Foreigu•offrce. The Messenger who recently arrived with despatches from India, left town on Thursday night, on his return to Ancona. THE CARPET TRADE.—Notwithstanding the general flatness that has for a length of time pervaded this business, we are much pleased to observe that a few of the houses are as actively engaged as in the roost pros perous times. Amongst others we notice CARTIER'S esta blishment in Cheapside. We can only attribute this to the splendour of their style of pattern, the superiority of their goods, and the extreme lowness of their prices.-- Times. THE COURT JOURNAL.—The two leading features of the CouttT JOTSILNAL of this day are, a Paper entitled " Gastronomic' At.roal, which makes the readoes mouth water at all the good things that are to be met with between Paris and Naples—a sort of Epicure's rude mecum ; and a renewal of those piquant effusions of mingled satire and sentiment which were so highly relished I:st season, under the title of " London Letters." That of the present week glances at all the leading points of the opening season, Parties, Persons, Theatres, Books, &a. The " Chapter on the East Winds" is also fall of humorous and oath ical extravagance. THE REV. DR. DEALTItY, THE NEW PRE aIeNDARY OP WINCHESTIM—With reference to a para graph lately inserted in several of tke public papers we are authorized to state, that at t;se time when that paragraph was written, Dr. DZALTRY had never held all the prefer ments there mentioned; that immediately en being col lated to the Prebend, he announced formally to the Bishop of the diocese in whirls one of his livings was situated his intention to resign that living without unnecessary delay. That the Chancellorship of Winchester is net a lucrative office, the receipts having hitherto, as far as he is con cerned, amounted to little, if any thing, more than the necessary expences ; and that the probable gross v lee of his remaining preferments, the living and the stall, is not one fourth of the 7,5001. assigned to him in that paragraph. EXECUTION.—Monday, March 8, being the morning appointed for the execution of BENJAMIN TYLIR and SoLoMoN SxwELL, for the murder of Noble EuneN, shortly after six o'clock people were obsetved to lick into the town, to witness it, from all parts of the surrounding neighbourhood, in great numbers, but more particularly from the vicinity of Thame and Haddenham, the scene of the murder. Shortly after eight o'clock the incl.ncholy preparations for the approaching execution Were an nounced by the doleful tolling of the chapel bell, and about a quarter of an hour afterwards the procession arrived at the foot of the drop, which SEwxu, first ascended with a firm step. He was followed by TYLZA. The execu tioner having withdraws from the drop, the signal was given, and the unhappy men were launched into eternity, with their latest brea 6 proclaiming th..t they • ied inno cent. The concourse of spectators to witness his execu tion was gre.tter than ever reineintrered by the ' , Wet inha bitants. After hanging the usua time, their bodies were cut down -and s'iortly afterwards sent to Lon Cot for dio seotion► BOURIENNE'S MEMOIRS. On Saturday (this day) will be published, in 2 vols. Bvo.
