) en irly lire certificate. This Proclamation was to tame effect from the Ist day of June, 1830, and was to continue in force until the Ist of January, 1832. We have received Prince Edward's Island Papers to the 3d of May. The House of As sembly had passed a Bill for the relief of his MAJESTY'S Roman Catholic subjects, by which they are placed with respect to civil rights on a footing with their Protestant fellow-subjects, The Council, however, had affixed a clause, suspending its operation until the Royal assent was obtained. In addition to the suspending clause the Council proposed a number of addi tional ones to the Bill. Such amendments as were merely of a verbal nature, or which tended to make the sense of the Legislature more clear, were without hesitation adopted by the House of Assembly, but the House rejected the clause requiring all Roman Catholics voting at elec tions to take the oath at the hustings. The oath is of great length, and the time limited for elections would be insufficient for administer ing it to half the number that might be ex pected to offer themselves. The other clauses added by the Council related chiefly to the ex clusion of Jesuits, of whose introduction into the islandimuch apprehension seems entertained. Another conference had, however, been held upon the subject of the amendments, and the result had been the withdrawal by the Council of the suspending clause, and all the other amendments to which the House of Assembly had not previously signified their concurrence, with the exception of the following addition to the oath : " And I do hereby disclaim, disavow, and solemnly abjure any intention to subvert the present Church Esta blishment us settled by law within this realm." Mr. E. BLAQUIERE, a gentleman well known by his late interesting " Letters from the Mediter ranean," has just published, in quarto, an edition of Signor PANA wri's " Narrative of a Residence in Algiers." At the present crisis, when the eyes of Europe are directed with considerable interest to this den of pirates and robbers, the appearance of such a work is deserving of particular notice. The present will, in every respect, satisfy public expectation. It bears every mark of authenticity, i 3 copious in its details, lively in its mode of communicating those details, and in addition to its geographical notices of Algiers, comprises an historical account of its Regency, together with biographical sketches of the DEY and his Mini sters. In a few days, perhaps in a few hours, perhaps already, this strong-hold of piracy may be captured. The reader, therefore, may pro bably be desirous to glean a few particulars re specting. a territory, whose power is on the eve of passing away—for nothing, we confidently believe, can now save Algiers from the grasp of the Trench soldiery. An army which was so well-regulated and disciplined that, though con sisting of 40,000 men, it could finish its de barkation safely within eight hours, is not likely to suffer much from any opposition that Algiers, on the land side, may attempt to offer:— " The regency of Algiers includes above six hundred mile s of sea coast, between the river Melooia, which se parates it from Morocco, and the Maine, its eastern boun dary; While its extreme breadth, front the capital to the country of Dates, does not exceed one hundred and eighty. It is bounded on the west by the kingdom of Fez, the chain of the Atlas and Biludelgerid on the south, Tunis on the east, and the Mediterranean sea on the north. The Dey's absolute domination extends four days journey from the capital. Beyond that, until you reach _the Biludelgerid, is inhabited by wandering tribes, who merely pay tribute when the army takes an annual tour through the country.— The regency is divided into four provinces, Mascara, Al giers, Tittetie, and Constantine. Labez is a mountainous eistrict which pays tribute; and Biscara is another poor tributary country in the kingdom of Zeb. Between Al giers and Bugia to the south, are the mountains of Couco, inhabited by the Angui, a ferocious people whout the Deys have never reduced into complete subjection. Towards Fez is the little desert of Angad, much frequent ed by heusta of prey and ostriches. Previous to reaching the eser Atlas there is a large tract of country called Tell, from thence commences the country of Dates. The most considerable river in this part of Africa is the Melooia, the ancient Melva,: a part of which is navigable for small vessels. The principal cities are Algiers, con taining about one hundred and twenty thousand souls ; Constantine, with a population of one hundred thousand ; Tremisan, once the capital of a great kingdom, but now reduced to insignificance; Bona, which has an excellent bay and strong castle ; Oran, a large and popu lous town with a tolerably good roadstead, and within a few miles east of which there is a fine bay capable of receiving the largest fleets. Tenet, at one time time the capital of a rich and beautiful kingdom ; Bouje lab, which is very strong, and possesses a much larger port than Algiers, though not quite so secure; Mersal quivir, a place of some consequence ; and Shenshell, where there is also . good anchorage ; Arvav, celebrated for its extensive salt-pits, the finest in the world ; El-callah, re waed frr its great market and manufactures of shawl, and carpets; Bleeda, a populous town in the interior; at d also Gigera, on the sea coast : the territory of which is extremely mountainous, and the inhabitants considered the most savage and ferocious race in Battery. All those ebristians who happen to be wrecked on this coast are invariably made slaves of." We believe the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER'S new Sugar Duty scheme will turn out as inconvenient in its operation, if it be practicable, as it is unjust between the two great interests to which it applies. Every man at all conversant with trade must, at once, see the incongruity of a duty with an ascending and descending scale, like that in force upon Corn, and proposed now to be levied on Sugar. It is worse than even an ad valorenz duty, the diffi culty of which consists in the vexatious abuses to which it ever has been, and ever will he sub• ject—abuses which lead us to concur entirely .with Mr. POULETT THOMSON in his doubts of the expediency of ad valorent duties, when any other system can be devised in their stead. The Sugar Duty scheme cannot be better cha racterised than was . done by Mr. THOMSON, as " alike unjust to the East Indian interest, par " tial to the West Indian, and injurious to the " community ;" it is inconsistent with the pledge given .to. the. East. India interest in. May last, by thc then President of Board of Trade ; and it is a part of the vacillating, petty, contracted system of finance, which was upheld by Mr. VA NsITTART, and his like, and which it is disgraceful to men of so good understanding as Mr. HERRIES and Mr. COURTENAY to lend any countenance to. A temporising, indecisive policy never yet re flected any credit on its authors, or brought any benefits upon society. Those who make such taunts as were thrown out against Mr. POULETT THOMSON, for attempting to interfere with the operations of trade by introducing a new finan cial system, talk the most contemptible nonsense possible. If there he any one measure which would to a certainty restore the activity of trade, add vigour to all branches of industry, and im .t9art a new life to the en erg i es o f t h e nat i on , it is the financial reform developed by Mr. THOMSON, in his famous speech on taxation, to which we have more than once called the public attention. It is only by a thorough change in this respect that real good can be done, and not by any alterations of temporary expediency, framed without reference to any general prin ciples, or any comprehensive system of policy SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(TIIIS DAY FROM LLOYD'S.

EAST INDIA HOUSE.-(THIS DAY.) A Quarterly General Court of the Proprietors of East India Stock was held this morning at the India House, for the purpose of declaring a dividend from Christmas to Midsummer. The Court was made special, in order that there might be laid before the Proprietors a draft of a Bill now before Parliament, " For the relief of the representa tives of persons who have died intestate in the Presidency of Madras, and for the relief of the suitors of the Supreme Court of Judicature at Madras." Soon after twelve o'clock the Chairman of the Com pany, J. AsTELL, Esq. took his seat, and said since the last meeting of the Proprietors a great nutnbar of papers had been laid before Parliament. A list of superannuations was presented. The CHAIRMAN said the Court of Directors had come to; the resolution that a dividend of 51 per cent. be agreed to by the Board, was it the opinion that that divi dend be agreed to ?—The question was put and carried. Mr. IRVING presented a report from the Committee of Bys•laws, which was read by the Secretary. It stated that with one exception the bye-laws had been observed last year. The exception was the non-presentation of the annual accounts of the Company at the appointed period, in consequence of some delay in receiving the accounts from Bengal. Measures had been taken to prevent if pos sible any simillr occurrence. The Committee of Bye-laws was appointed. REGISTRAR Or MADRAS BILL. The Chairman informed the Court of the proceedings that had taken place in the House of Commons relative to the Bill. Though every opposition was given to the Bill, as it was a most unjust one as regarded the East India Comrnittee, it was read a second time in Committee, and he hoped some important changes, would be made, as he was at a loss to know on what principle Parliament had voted, in compelling the natives of Hindostan to make Rood the deficiency arisin g from the deficiencies of the Registrar of Madras. H e hoped the Directors would be strengthened by a vote of the Court in opposition to this Bill.—(Hear, hear.) The Court was left in discussion on the Bill. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAT.) CITY, T WEL TE O'CLOCK Livraroor., JUNE IL-The transactions in British Plantatieu Sugar have been confined to about 420 hhds., sold in the early part of the week at various rates; but in consequence of the proposed alteration in the duty nothing has subsequently been done; a fair business continues doing in Coffee. There has been a very good demand this week for Cotton. Pine Timber has been very dull during the week, and very few sales made, the demand for the country continuing very trifling, and prices somewhat lower ; two cargoes have arrived from Quely c—nothing ts remark respecting Baltic Timber this week, and the consumption c. , ntinues to a limited extent. The Grain market has been unusually lively throughout the whole of the past week. THE FENDS. The Funds continue in the same languid state as for these two or three days past, and scarce a bargain has been done to the present hour. Consols opened at the same price they left off yesterday, 92f for the Account. The French expedition is at present the theme of re mark, and we may expect hourly some further details of their progress towards Algiers. The Foreign Alarket is also in a state of stagnation.

MILES AND OTHERS. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a banker in the Haymarket, against the defendants, who are Com missioners of Footpaths for the parish of St. Marin's.— It appearsd that Mr. Bouverie some time since rebuilt his home in the Haymarket, in front of which he erected an iron railing, which by order of the defendants was re moved, for which removal he brought an action. On the trial Lord Tenterden held that the defendants had (under the authority of the Act of Parliament by which they were appointed) a power to remove all such obstructions to the public way as they deemed necessary, and the plaintiff wds in consequence nonsuited. On a former day a rule nisi had been obtained, to set this nonsuit aside, and to enter a verdict for the plaintiff. After hearing Counsel against the rule, the Court said, as the case was one of some import_ ance, they would take time to consider their decision. Lord TENTERDEN, this morning, after going through .the facts of the case, which have been several times before the public, pronounced the judgment of the Court. His Lordship said it was the opinion of himself and his Learned Brothers that the Act did not give such an extended power to the Commissioners as he thought at the time of the trial that it did ; and that, in the present case, they had not authority to order the removal of the railings. The rule, therefore, for entering a verdict for the plaintiff, with Is. damages, was made absolute. The Court afterwards proceeded with the new tria. paper. At one o'clock Lord Tenterden preceded to Guild. hall, to sit at nisi prius. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. WRECK CASE. -A LLCOCK V. COCK. This was en action which has been tried once or twice before, relative to wreck. Oo a former day Mr. Serjeant ADAMS obtained a rule to remove the venue which had been laid in Middlesex to Lancashire. The grounds of the application were founded on a number of affidavits, which stated that all the de fendant's witnesses resided in I incolnshire—that they were all aged persons, and, without any single exception, in the humb!er classes of life. With respect to one of these persons, named John Johnson, the affidavits stated that he was a most material witness—that he had attained the advanced age of 85 years, and that tloi journey to London, from the place where be lived, not less than 103 miles diStant, could not fail of proving exceedingly dan gerous, if not fatal to him. Mr. Serjeant WILDE this morning showed cause against the rule. Mr. Serjeant ADAMS supported the rule. Rule discharged. TIIESPASS-BLI.SETT V. WILSIN AND ANOTHER. - • Mr. Serjeant RUSSELL moved for a rule to set aside an inquisition, held in this case on Saturday last. The tres pass complained of consisted in the defendant's having stopped up a gate, and cut a quantity of underwood, the property of the plaintiff. The plaintiff had recovered a verdict with 501. damages. The grounds of the present application were, that the Jury who had returned this verdict had been got together illegally—that the verdict was contrary to evidence, and :that the amount of da mages was altogether disproportionate with the trespass. The defendant in his affidavit stated, that the notice to execute the inquiry was at a public-house in Worcestershire, and was appointed to be held on Saturday last. That on the morning of that day the defendant's attorney had sent to the Sheriff, who had not received the brief up to eleven o'clock, (the hour ap pointed for inquiry was one o'clock) and that the Under sheriff did not in effect receive it until about half•past eleven o'clock on the day in question. The defendant then went on to state that the Jury could not have been empan nelled, and that he understood the Sheriff had only named one or two of the Jurors, the rest of the number being made up by the landlord, waiters, &c. of the public-house, who actually acted on such occasions either in considera tionof money or drink. Mr. Justice PARSE--Why, brother Russell, you have certainly attended a Sheriff's Jury before now, and know of what materials it is usually composed.—(A laugh.) Mr. Serjeant RUSSELL admitted that he had ; but added that the publican, who was a maltster, had himself acted as foreman on the occasion in question. Mr. Justice PARSE—WeII, and a very good man too— a maltster is as good a man as any other.—(A laugh.) Mr. Serjeant Russann—But yet, my Lord, I submit the Jury ought to have been "indifferent." Mr. Justice PARKE—Why, Brother Russell, I thought you were complaining all along that they were " too is different."—(Laughter.) The defendant's affidavit, in conclusion, stated that the verdict had much surprised the Sheriff, who had told the Jury that the trespass did not call for heavy damages, and that be had subsequently intimated his astonishment to the defendant at the undue amount of the damages. The COURT eventually granted a rule, on the ground of excess of &images and improper evidence. ARCHES COURT. HARRISON V. LANE. Dr. Nacnot, gave judgment in this case to-day, which was a suit promoted to decide upon the will of the Rev. John Pugh, of Hereford, which was disputed on the ground of incapacity by the sister of the deceased, Mrs. Harrison. The Learned Judge went at great length over the evidence. The deceased had indulged in habits of in temperance, and on this ground it was contended that he became incompetent, from extreme weakness of body and mind, to execute a testamentary paper. The deceased had taken a dislike to his relations, particularly to the parties opposing the will. The Court was of opinion that the deceased, at the time of making his will, was perfect), competent to execute such an instrument, and could not for a moment imagine that such a conspiracy could have existed, as implied among the witnesses in favour of the will without detection. The Court was bound to place reiance on the evidence of the witnesses on the candidit. The Coast was of opinion that the conduct of Mrs. Har rison was extraordinary in taking possession of the de ceased's house, without waiting the issue of the question. The Court pronounced for the will, and with costs. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. GUILDFORD RACES, JUNE 22. His Majesty's Plate of 100 guineas. Heats, four miles. Mr. G.

EMANCIPATION OF RYE. The great length to which our report of the interesting proceedings of Wednesday last has run, compels us, although reluctantly, to defer till our next the few observations we had intended. We have not been sparing of our space, bec4u , e we deem it of extreme impr•rtance that every publicity should be given to that which must eventually lead to the introduction of ten independent Members into th• House of Gimmoni; for, to affect to believe that the remaining four of the Cinque Ports will continue fettered, is to suppose that all moral virtue has vani•hed with our national greatness. To our readers, the repoi t which we publish wi a sufficient excuse for the delay of our re marks; but alr apology is due to the Rev. Geo. Augustus Lamb. Let the gentleman be a?sured that he has two irresistible claims upon our attention,—be is a Reverend, — and a Boroughmonger.--Brighton Guardian. We have been informed that the application for gold, in exchange for bank notes, has been almost in• cessant for the last two days in this city. We are hound, however, to acknowledge that the mercantile and trading men of Waterford were in general averse to any simulta neous application being male at the banks for gold, until it should be first ascertained whether the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER would abandon his project,d scheme for destroying the country.— Waterford Chronicle. FINDING' 01' MR. GREEN'S BALLOON.-- PROBABLE DEATII OF THIS INTREPID AERONAUT..-..-We have received from a repectable correspondent the follow ng letter, from which we are greatly afraid that Mr. GREEN'S one hundred and fifty-second trip to the clouds has been his last. Should any further intelligence reach us before all our impression is worked off, we will insert it : WISBEACH, JUNE 20.—We are most credibly informed by a Mr. S. PROVOST, OI Thorney, a farmer upon whom we may rely, that a grand balloon, belonging to Mr. GREEN, was taken in Thorney Fen by him, without any person whatever being with it, and upon securing it, it was also found that the rope and grappling irons were missing. It of course threw him, and others who by this Lime had come to his assistance, into a state of alarm as to the safety of Mr. GREEN, and any (Aber person who might have been with him. We have nut as yet heard any thing of him, but we lave and trust that in your Champion on Tuesday we shall have a full and favourable account of Mr. GREEN."—We have just heard a rumour, that Mr. GREEN is alive—having saved himself nn the top of a house near Coventry.—Ed. Stamford Champion. The murderer of the celebrated PAUL Louis COURIER has at last been discovered, and has con fessed his crime. His name is FREMONT : he was the gamekeeper of the unfortunate deceased. The assassina tion appe irs to have taken place from feelings of revenge : it had nothing to do with politics. FREMONT LA for ac complices one SYMPHORIEN DUBOIS (since dead), PIERRE DUBOIS, and two °there. The trial of FREMONT and his surviving accomplices was to take place at Touts, on the 9th instant. REVIEW AND SHAM FIGHT ON KERSAL Mooa.—Yesterday, a review and sham fight, in which the military at present quartered in this town were en gaged, took place on Kersil Moor; and was attended by an immense concourse of spectators,—quite as many as we recollect to have seen on any occasion at the races. Owing to some erroneous announcements in some of the newspa pers as to the time at which the proceedings would com mence, a great number of persons repaired to the ground at an early hoer in the forenoon ; but it was two o'clock before any of the troops made their appearance. At that time a party of the 87th regiment, supported by two squadrons of the 2d dragoons, took possession of Agecroft, bridge, and of the bridge over the Bolton canal near it. About 90 minutes before three, the attacking patty, con sisting of another party of the 87th, two other squadrons of the 2d dragoons, and two pieces of artillery, advanced from the Bolton road, and attacked the canal bridge, driv ing the defenders from it by a charge of cavalry, and a few discharges of artillery. Considerable skirmishing then took place along the road leading to Agecroft bridge, at that bridge, and along the lane leading to the race ground ; the party advancing from the Bolton road, driving the others before them until they reached the middle of the race ground. There repeated charges of cavalry were made on both sides against the opposing infantry, who, on each cc casino, formed solid squares and repulsed the assailant'. The attacking party finally charged in line; and, after a brisk firing on both aides, the fight terminated. The whole of the troops then formed in line, and fired a . feu-de-joie ; after which they marched in column past the inspecting officer, and performed a variety of evolutions, which had a very striking appearance. The day was beautifully fine; and the immense, number of spectators, though it inter fered grievously with the movements of the troops, gave very great animation to the scene.—Manchester Mercury of Tuesday. PILLORY.—BOSSY, the man who was sen tensed to stand one hour in the pillory, for the crime of perjury, underwent his sentence yesterday, at one o'clock, in front of Newgate. Long before his arrival the mob was so great that there were at least three or four thou:•and persons of both sexes, eager to witness so novel a scene, it being now eleven years since any one has undergone such a public exposure. The pillory was formed of a scaffold, on which was a straight pole, with a plank fastened on a pivot in a horizontal direction, with holes for his head and arms. At one o'clock the culprit mounted the steps, and Jack-Ketch fastened him to the plank ; he was then made to go round like a horse at a mill-stone for one hour, when he was removed to the Compter, where he is to be confined for six months, and afterward, to be transported for seven years. He is the son a a doctor, and his friends are very respectable; his age appeared to be six-and-twenty. The most disgusting parr of such a punishment .vas in this in stance strictly forbidden--that of allowing him to be pelted by the mob, some of whom appeared to pity his position. ALEXANDER M'KAY, who lost his life in consequence of the late prize-fight, bad been a porter at Glasgow, and was as remarkable for his extreme good na ture as for his prodigious strength. He was by birth a West Highlander, and it may he worth telling that, by his mother, who was the illegitimate daughter of a High ' land:gentleman, he carried in his veins the blood of the ce lebrated LocanEL, whose part in the insurrection of 1745 was so conspicuous. Sandy, according to the report of our informant, was less calculated for prize-fighting by mind than body. Like all Highlanders he could fight when his blood was up, and that well; but he was not qualified to exert himself with the cool deliberate precision which is necessary in the ring. We are told that he was quite con scious of this deficiency, and expressed himself doubtful of success -in- the fight with BYRNE -upwards of a month ago. He then placed his sole hope of victory on the chance of getting BYRNE pressed against the ropes, or of exerting his prodigious muscular powers in such a way in wrestling with his antagonist, as to incapacitate Lint from continuing the fight. He a'z one time had nearly succeeded in this object, when the second of his opponent, by a shameful act of unfairness, pulled him back by the band of the drawers, so as to neutralize his temporary advantage. We have been much shocked to observe the interest taken in the issue of this fight by the people of Scotland. —Edin.- burgh Observer. - - - MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS.—The QUEEN made a fatiguing, cold, and laborious journey, and was re ceived with little courtesy in the north, where the effects of HUNTLEY'S displeasure against her brother and minister were sufficiently visible. Instead of being hailed with du tiful acclamations by crowds of submissive and faithful subjects, the aspect of the inhabitants was doubtful if not absolutely hostile, and her little troop of attendants were fain to observe the regular duties of watch and ward against surprise. Her retinue of soldiers was indeed so small, that it became necessary every man in her train, Ambassadors and others, should keep watch in succession; and the Quxxx, instead of showing female affright at the grim front of war, lamented, with the spirit of her warlike fathers, that her sex prevented her mounting guard in turn, and forbade her to parade with jack and steel-cap, a broadsword and a Glasgow buckler. When she arrived at Inverness, the castle was held out against her by the Goa norm. But the garrison proving inadequate to defend it, were forced to surrender, and the captain who had refused admission to his sovereign deservedly suffered the pains of death.—Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopwdia.

Their Royal Highnesses partook of a dejeune, and returned in the alternoon to Bushy. Prince FREDERICK of Prussia honoured Viscount ANSON with his company to dinner on Monday evening, at his Lordship's residence in St. James's-square. There ' was a select party to meet his Royal Highness. The Prussian Minister paid his respects to the Prince yes terday. The Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND came to town yesterday from their residence at Kew. The Duke dined with the Princess AUGUSTA in the evening. A Cabinet Council was held at two o'clock yesterday afternoon, at the Foreign Office, which was attended by the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Duke of WELLINGTON, Earls BATHURST, ROSSLYN, and ABERDEEN, Sr: ROBERT PEEL, Sir GEO. MURRAY, and Mr. HERRIES. Lord ELLENBOROUGH and the CHANCEZ.LOR of the EXCHEQUER joined their colleagues about half-past three o'clock; the latter had been engaged on a Committee of the House of Commons on East India affairs. The Council broke up about four o'cloCk. The Governor and Deputy-Governor of the Bank had a conference with the Duke of WELLINGTON and the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER yesterday, at the Treasury. Count MATUSCESVITZ, the new Russian Minister, visited the Earl of ABERDEEN yesterday. (From the Morning' Herald.) WINDSOR, TUESDAY EVENING. will have seen by the Bulletin of to-4ay that the KING had a good night last night; but that the cough and expectoration still continue. The fact is, lam in formed, that a few hours' repose in the course of the night were procured by the administration of soporific medicines. '32 this as it may, however, hiS MAJESTY does not ap pe.ir to have derived any benefit from the repose; for up to this hour (five r.ae. ) the cough and expectoration con tinue quite as troublesome as they Lave been for these two days past, and there is no alteration whatever in the ge-. neral condition of the Royal patient. It is true, as I told you yesterday, that Mr. NUSSET'S Visits to the Castle are solely that he may be at hand to teaks up any medicines which the physicians may pre scribe during the night. There have been no visiters at the Castle to-day. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS.

The Opera selected to introduce Miss PATON and Mr. Woon, on Saturday night, to an Irish audience, was Love in a Village, for the first time since the eclair cissement which was the subject of so much discussion in this metropolis. It was apprehended, in the course of the day, that the theatre would bays been the scene of riot and tumult, and that an Irish , üblic would not for a moment have tolerated an exhibition which was calculatal to put to the test the sincerity of their hitherto boasted fastidiousness on such subjects. There was the more reason to anticipate such a result, as several of the newspapers had taken up the subject, and appealed to the public, as they valued the moral character which they had hitherto possessed, but which their otvn fancies only had given them, not to encom age by their presence such per sons as Miss PATON and Mr. Woon. The manager, however, was more prophetic in his calculations, and knew that an Irish audience was not a whit better than any other ; and all that had been said of Irish chastity and morality was stuff and nonsense. The house was crowded to its utmost contents,land the first circle exhibited a bril liant sprinkling of females. On Miss PATON'S appearance she was received with the loudest applause, interrupted only by a half-dozen hisses, which were at once drowned in the general acclamation. Miss PATON seemed so deeply affec.et by so warm a reception, that she was unable to proceed for a few minutes. When Mr. WOOD appeared there was some hissing, and a cry from several, " Off, Woon," " Woon, off," but far the greater portion of the audiesce loudly applauded. Some, however, continuing obstinate in their disapprobation, which prevented Mr. Wool) from proceeding, a riot took place in the second tier of boxes, and the dissentients being ejected, the opera proceeded, without further interruption, to the close. Wherever the language of the songs could be interpreted into an allusion of the situation of the parties, it was eagerly seized upon by the audience and applauded. The confidence inspired by the warmth of her reception gave to Miss PATON a spirit which enabled her to equal any of , her former exertions. CALEB WILLIAMS.—The admirers of the vigorous and intellectual style that characterizes the pen of Mr. GODWIN, will be gratified to learn that the work which so pre-eminently established his fame, and of which the last impression has been long exhausted, may be now again procured, in a revised edition. It is, we believe, universally allowed that there is no composition, in the whole range of novel-writing, so remarka'de on the score of originality, as " Caleb Williams." . For several days past the letter H division of the New Police, stationed in the eastern division of the metropolis, have been assembled in the Tenter-ground, Goodman's.fields, for the purpose of being drilled. The manner in which they performed their evolutions, on the firstoccasions, caused no little mirth atno;ig the specta tor, and gave evident proof that the majority of them have not been in the army, as is, we believe, generally supposed to be the case. DUKE OF MECKLENBURGH STRELITZ. A singular and ludicrous anecdote occurred to me at the court of Strelitz, which I cannot for bear relating, as a testimonial of the hospitality )nd kindness of the late Duke of Mecklenburgh Strelitz; a Prince who was beloved and respected not only by his subjects, but by all who knew hi.n ; and who marked by a particular kindness All English visiters and residents in his states. I had ordered myself, on arriving very late at night in the town, to be driven to the inn ; but being sound asleep in my carriage with my aides de-camp on entering the gates, my chasseurs and orderly from the box showed my passports. I was not aware that orders had been sent from the palace to the guard-house to send my cortege to the reigning Duke's brother's hour in the town. On alighting, I found myself shown into magnificent apartments, lighted up, with nume rous servants, and with a grand convert laid for supper. Congratulating myself with my compa 'lions in our capital inn, we proceeded to call about us, ordered and made free, precisely as if in the first Paris hotel. The wines were excel lent ; more and more were ordered up ; a provi sion directed to be laid aside to carry forward on the next day's march ; in short, we all went to bed in the sweetest delirium. But the con sternation that followed the next morning was appalling: when awakening, I was informed that the Duke's brother was in the anti-room, waiting to know, " Si Son Excellence etait content de sa reception." 'Etc ridicule attached to me for this anecdote, did not leave me during the few very happy days I spent at the delightful palace of the Duke of Mecklenburg at Strelitz, and in the most enchanting society that then embellished it.—Lord Londonderry's Narra tive cf the War in Germany and France. BERNADOTTE. I dined on the day of my arrival at Greifswald with the Prince Royal of Sweden, and had two long conferences with his Royal Highness. His engaging manners, spirited conversation, faci lity of expression, and the talent which dis played itself in all that it said, convinced me on my, first interview that he was no ordinary man. It was, however, my duty not to permit myself to be dazzled by his brilliancy, but to as certain if possible, through the glitter that sur rounded him, what were his real views, and how far the warmth of his expressions and splendour of his designs would be borne out by the rea lity of his services to the general cause. The cautious line he had adopted and main tained during the last campaign, had been of the most important consequence to the allies. No thing; had yet occurred in his demeanour which could be made a matter of reproach ; but, it must be owned, there was nothing to justify confi dence : it remained to be discovered whether the future would wear a more promising atpect. The unequivocal proof of his sincerity would have been, to have bolBly and unreservedly committed his new subjects against his old friends : it was not possible to believe him fully in earnest, until we should see him fairly in action at the head of his Swedes, with French troops for their opponents. - He was on the eve of setting out to Trachen berg, at the moment of my arrival. The time, therefore, was too short to allow of systematic discussion ; and our conversations, on both sides, assumed a very miscellaneous character. Of these conversations, and of all the points em braced in them, my position debars me froth giving a complete account ; but the impression left upon my mind will be conveyed exactly by a phrase of which I availed myself when record ing what had passed—" He clothed himself in a pelisse of war, but his under garments were made of Swedish objects and peace ;" and fur ther to confirm me in my belief that these sen timents were not erroneous, a celebrated and distinguished General Officer, who was at this period one of my colleagues at the Swedish head-quarters, emphatically assured me, " Le zele du Prince se montrera toujours plus A me sure qu'il se croira moins necessaire. In the progress, however, of my detail, I shall bring forward circumstances and facts that will enable the impartial reader to form his own judgment. In this part of the narrative, it is only necessary to state that there was, in truth, no natural link to con nect him with the allies; policy had brought him forward; but both policy and affection restrained in from committing himself absolutely against _ .. that nation, the love of which was early engrafted in his breast. I must, however, beg to be un derstood in any observations I make, as not having adopted them from any official source : they will be confined solely to the sentiments I formed myself on the bare military subjects that came forward, and were then in agitation. My opinions may be incorrect; the data for my judg ment deficient ; the difficulties of the Prince Royal's position known better to himself than to others ; but such as my sentiments are I give them, with honesty, and, I hope, becoming de ference, while writing a military narrative. It happened very fortunately, that the news of the debates on the Swedish treaty in the two Houses of Parliament, and of the very con siderable majority in its favour, had preceded my arrival. At Stralsund this had a most satis factory influence ; and it was natural to ascribe much of the Prince Royal's cordiality to this cause. Of the individuals by whom his Royal Highness was surrounded, the most prominent was a Colonel Camps, his foster-brother, a Frenchman ; the Swedish Generals were un- doubtedly honest, upright, and sensible men ; but there existed a secret ascendancy over some of the staff-officers, which it was difficult to de velop. I must however do, thus early, full justice to Baron Wetterstedt the Secretary of State, General Adlercreutz (since dead),General Count Lowenhehn, and some others ; never were more valuable officers than these, nor men more devoted to the common cause of their country and Europe. If reports were to be credited, at times there was a less direct and less - :--. respectable means of influence th an t h ese in ___- operation. There was certainly nothing in the character or habits of some leading persons at the Prince's head-quarters, which made it im possible to believe the reports in circulation. A celebrated actress had lately taken her departure from Stralsund, and it was said had been con• veyed to General Vandamme's out-post with an escort. As to the nature and extent of her com munications, rumour was not idle. But I advert to the fact only, for the sake of reminding my reader that the manoeuvres resorted to by Na poleon were not always of a strictly military character.—Lord Londonderry'i Narrative of the War in Germany and France. - Stiq -r -0 _f.--0 sh 4 oe' 294 934 163 2i*ff le) • ,••• no. ••• ..... •••• ..... ••• ...
