This rrincess, %t ht. had oeeu indisposed for several_ days, and who had not quitted her chamber, nevertheless came out to met her august parent at the porti•co of the castle, with her son, the Princeof PARMA, and all her suite.. The Emperor accompanied the Empress into her apartments, and .passed several hours with her. These were the first moments of happiness which this young Sovereign had enjoyed since the awfidstorms °Hate years, - during which she supported, with un exampled: firmness and courage, a Areat part of the Weight of Government.. Tnis•interview had a visible. effect in restcring mental tranquillity to the Empress : she -declared immediately, aftelltards, that she was detemined to accept .the invitation ot the Emperor, and to spend a few weeks in the bosom of the Imperial. Family. The Emperor passed the night. at Rawbonillet, and returncef on the 17th to -Paris. The Eanpreis set 'out on . the 22(1 for Austria, and wilLroceed to Schceenbrun.

Conneit tee. 0 rticred. • CLF,II.ICAL PaNALTIEti: The House resolved itself into a Committee upon this Bill. Upon the' provision authorising the Qourts, tinder certain circumstances, to stay the proceedings that bad been entered into, - • The Duke of Nor r'oLt: - ..observed, that however unwOrthil7 the.person its question might, have pur sued his . object, still it was of consequence that the faith . and law of the country should not be violated without strong necessity. These pent - tides had been sued for tinder the sanction of the law, and. he thought.the party suing' ought at least to he indemnified kir tits own expellees hicurrell in the prosecution. Lord ELLENBOROUGH said, that the prineiple'ot the provision was analogous to the usual practice of PArliainent. The LORD CHANCELLORSaid, thaeit was certainly a delicate proceeding, but that it had been the practice, at all times, when an informer made a vexatious abuse of a law which was intended for wholesotne purposes, for the Legislature to inter fere, and shield those,who were the objects of that vexatious ahnse from the penalties incurred. If the House were justified, therefOre, in cepiivittg this person of his vested rights.hi penalties - legally suety for, the sante principles would justify them in interfering with respect to his costs. In cases, even where a verdict had been obtained, in vexa tious prosecutions, and 1001. penalties recovered, only 101. were Allowed; and . in others the costs, wele often Denied aftty a verdict obtained. Lord HOLLAND coatended, that the necessity of the present Bill arose front the deficiencies of the 43d, of the King, which it would :be better to acknowledge, wrong at once, than to persevelic in. front any notions:a false consistency. Instead of an act of grace to the Clergy, it had proved one of great hardship, ospecially from the technical description of residence, 'which he wished tti as got rid of. lie did not mean to /oppose the 'present Bill, because its object wasto relieve a vast num ber of individciais i'toht a perisecution which arose out of the errors of the Legislature itself. ituilar prosecmions, he feared, would-he frequent, unless they departed frOM the principle of enforcing re sidence, or defined the nature of residence more atcurately. The LORD CHANCTLLOR contended, that the 43d of the King. a' far as the residence of the Clergy was concerned, had been a very great improve- The cases of hardship, before the passing went that Act, were numerous. He remembered two or three which . canie under his own notice, Fr ticularly one cif a f Clergyman, who went down to his lri - ing in the coon - ter and found a-bandsorne . . • k - ars'onage-Itotise, much larger than he wanted, as *117,41 nrkfamily. An alto! uty iu fte place. with wlarge family, was living in a small, convQnient house, which he proposed to exchange with the Clergyman, and reside at his parsonage. At the end of the. twelve months, when the attorney was applied to for tk digerence of the rent, his an swer was, I owe you nothing ; but you owe me 1101. the amount of penalty. for non4eSidence, which he actually sued kir and recovered. The 43d ante King, he certainly did not think open to so many objectionS as.the Noble Baron had in sinuated. lie felt some personal concern about that Act, for he had laboured day and night to render it beneficial to the Clergy. The temper of the times, when'it was passed, did not admit of consultive;' the mutual interests of the, Clergy and public so much as might now be done. • The Archbishop of CANTERBURN was of Opinion that great relief had been afforded by that Bill but, at the same time, lunch required to be done to give it a full and perfect operation. Nothing wa3 more to be deplored than that the inadvertence and misconduct of some of the Clergy had given, occasion to the present Bill ; but it would be found that its provisions separated the cases of viCions non-residence front those of mistake and neglect. Lord ELLENBOROUGH wished the whole matter of residence to he re-east. It had been approach ed by the Legislature with a very imperfect know ledge of the subject, and, as it stood at'present, was full of defects. Lord aboll was of opinion that it tvould be impossible to enforce residence without making' the failure of it:penal. Lord ELLENBOROUGH observed, that when it was considered how vast a number of persons was concerned, and how' various and infinite were .the causes Of residence and pon-residence, it would hardly be possible, he apprehended, to accomplish all that might be desired, without confiding a very large discretion in the Bishops. • The Duke of NORFOLK observed; that by the operation of the present: Bill,. .not only was the right of property, under thelaw i tAen away from 'the individnal, but also what' he had expended in a lega) pursuit. Such a regulation, however, might be necessary, and he should not, therefore, per , . silt to. a division, though he still retained his own pin ipn The clause was then read and carried, after wilich the-douse resumed; and 'the Report was received. : DULWIcIi COLLEGE. Lord LAUDERDALE said, that upon looking into . this Petition, which had been presented by a Noble Duke that evetiing; he found it to' contain allega tions highly :inippc,per, and he should therefore bring it before the notice of • their Lordships on -Tuqsday next.—Adjourned.

CONVOY ' Committee on.the , Convoyll,,Mr. Rost4 proposed that the former ..Act should lic renewer!. Mr. CAtzts . 3lstp objected to the total renewal of' the Mil. A-regulaann had been adopted, hy. which running ships were nut suffered to pro , !eeit to the Wet Indio, * and the convoys had, instead of being augmented,. since been decren:ed. In one. instance, a convoy had been detained from Fe , " hruary almost up to the, present time, and the 11111141)er of merchant shins - to sail with it were in consequence increased from about -15-0 400. , This was an ineonvenier f t. number to and produced great 'inconveniences in thelnw:lutt for which their eargoes were destined. He wi..,ht et! some txgUlations- to he intraemeed which. ships properly armed might .sail &idiom convoy,. on giving proper 'notice. Mr. HOSE thought the regulation . recomtnended by the Right4on. Gentleman would be productive of many inconveniences.- • Mr. CROKEII said, before . the American war there was .no• danger in the Western Seas, and licenses had been freely granted to 'ships to sail Without Convoy;- bnt from the commencement of the American war, when all .the American men-. cbantmen became privateers, and when thousands of them were on the Western Seas,then as a license to sail was only a license to be captured, ships had not been s'uffered to go without convoy. The number of convoys appointed was thought suf ficient for the protection of the trade.. There were constantly eight ships of the line, eight frigates ; . and from 16 to 20 sloops employed on this service, and generally not fewer than -16 ships of the line; 10 frigates, and from 20 to 30 sloops. The Ame rican merchants had, in the hrst.year of the war, been - content with three convoys trorn Spitbcad and three from Cork, but four i from each place had since been appointed to sail in the Year. The delay spoken of by the Right Huh. ..31eritleinan must have been caused by some circumstances which• could not be .foreseen. To arm merchant vess.els would be worse than useless, as.t he Ame ricans woaid over-arm them, and onpose superior force'to any they could carry. To prove that. they 'were anxious to suffer ships to go. withons convoy •w en the danger was not great, he stated, that on the Convention being -signed betwetil England and France; the Mediterranean had heeu made- an exception fram those seas to which ships might-not sail without protection. • After some observations on the inconveniences experienced by merchants tinder the pr , . seat Lition,. to which Mr.-Ceoleer replied, Mr. -CANINIZi'G proposed to make the Bill giye the Aahniralty the power of giving notice to Mo t t plansees ships might 'proceed at any time withot:t ,coitVOy. CRO-KFR thought this regulation Would defeat itself, the enemy where to seek for our -merchantmen t i,, could keep his own secret, when permitted to sail 'by licence, there could be no danger. Ile was sorry to say it, but there were persons in this cotintry base enough' to give America the min utt.,t -inforthatiOn on these'.points. An instance of this was furnished a short time back : a privat,:er taken which was waithig for a particular ship, t! mi name of. which she had been possessed of ; and the day after, she' and the ship which captured her, fell in with the very vessel for which the pri vateer had been waiting. . Mr. MAnar.AT'r co'rroborated the statement of the Hon. Gentleman, and stated a case which hod conic to his knowledge of a similar nature. The present system gave so much security to trade, that vessels were now Underwrit for Peace pre miums. 'After a few words from General GASCOIGNC, the Resolution before the Committee was agreed to , the House resumed, and the Report 'was ordered to be received on Monday. THE .CATHOLIC BOARD. Mr: .KNOX. doubted not_ the Gentlemen opposite were aware of the proceedings in several towo4 in Ireland with respect to the C'.atliolic Board. He Wished to knot , " if it was intended to put it down, as. it cats-now complained of as using' an intoler able grievance: ?. Mr. PEELS would be .happy to give the Won. 'Gentleman any information - on - the subject, this vrasia matter which rested within the •Exeett tive.Government of Ireland, and be.did not feel himself called upon to give any, anstyet Mr. lox said, large poi tiOn of the people of Irefand were very atneiotts 'on this subject, and -he thet (Aare wished to ascertain the sentiments .of •GOverninent, if they: had node their minds up on it.
