The Procession concluded with the appearance of his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT, drawn in the State Carriage, by - eight, beautiful cream"-coloured horses, at= companied by the Duke' of WELLINGTON.—The splendour .. and beauty attending this part of the Procession, excited universal admiration.— The PRINCE was received by the multitude in a very gratifying manner.—The streets bad been previously covered with gravel, and were lined with troops.—The houses were filled With spectators iiioug . the - whole line of march, and vast crowds assembled in the streets. The whole was marked by a degree of decency and decorum suit able to the solemn occasion, and constitute one of i'fie most interesting and impressive sights that the public have witnessed during this aura of spec tacle, pageantry, and magnificence.

LAUSANNE, JUNE 28.—The Count de St. Leu (Louis BM).- naparte), will take up his residence at Rome.. Last night Thanks were voted by the COM mons to the Navy, Army, and Mat hies, and also by a particular Vote, to his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, whose great services iii raising the Military Force of the Country to its present state of proudpre-eminence, in discipline and eilieiouicy, has now called forth an unanimous expression of approbation and gratitude from the House. A Lisbon Mail has arrived, bringing no intelli gence, either from Port4al or the Brazils, of any public interest. Trade - was almost wholly sus pended in the Tagus. Yesterday the PRINCE -11Edsp took an airing on horseback, called at the Queen's .

The Marquis and Marchioness of LioNTLEy are preparing 'to leave England for a temporary resi dence in Switzerland.- A private Letter from Paris, dated July 2, says— " The rupture of a marriage, treaty-, deeply •inte restiug to the welfare and happiness of England, has produced a great sensation here. Sanguine hopes are built upon this event, of the revival of French influence over the Government ut Holland." • A Gentleman who left Ghent last Friday, in -forms us, that all the America►► Commissioners had arrived there, except M..GALLATIN, who, it was understood, had set off from Paris to join his colleagues. • From.a private source it is stated, that no fewer than 4000 arrests have taken place since the re turn of the King of SPAIN. The printipal ad .viser of the Crown on these occasions is said to be the -Duke MA, IN}ANTADO. We understand that there are upwards of twency Regiments of British Militia-detained in Ireland, in consequence of the unsettled state.of that part of-the United Kingdorn.—(M. Chronicle.) We are sorry to say that another Provincial Bank in the County of Lincoln has stopped pay went. • The misfortunes - in the commercial world con. tinue. We bare heard of more failures, but we ire unwilling to mention . particulars.—(Dublin Paper.) Besides the advancement .of 32 Post-Captains to the rank of Flag-Otficers last month, 72 Com manders were promoted to the • rank of • Post- Captain, 118 Lieutenants to the rank of Com mander, and 24 Midshipmen to the rank of Lieu tenant. It has been stated that Lord COCHRANE is to stand in the pillory on the 10th of August ; but we have reason to believe that no order to that eiect has been issued.—piraiting Post.) TiiE iiiiii,'§i(N •O‘ iaoli.b. eOoi-iiiA4P. this matter has eieked a very considerable :sensation, we shall take the liberty of °tiding few btief remarks aprm tack from whi6b our liro:her Journalists eefii to haiie ; for this is the foe of Evasion. In the first place; we hate to recollect tiie 'condition•iri winch Loill Cocu RANH itallS. Our glorious Constitutidn Confers on every Briton the right of being deemed innocent until le is found guilty ; but, in return for this noble ptivilege, when be is once found guilty by a ver dict of his fellow-citizens, and thereby rendered amenable to the offended laws, it requires that their sentence should not be questioned or turbed but on the strongest grounds. Lord LOCHRANE, therefore, appears before us as a con victed criminal, and those who espouse his cause ought to be well prepared to spew good reasons for impeachiag the decision against hint, and pal tering-with the most invaluable palladium of our liherties,—" Trial by Jary." Another of the ,distinguished advantages of-our Constitution, as acknowledged by every sound mind), is the runtetilied . nature of the prerogatives of Parliament. Its mowers are indistinctly great, and the shadows which involve their line of ter initiation add materially to their efficacy. But it never can be supposed, that Parliament has antl.v rity to interfere in eases expressly provided tor by theritx scripta and common law of the land.— Its jurisdiction, therefore, in the present instance, could only properly be exercised upon the question of the eligibility of .one of its own body to con tinue a :Member, and not in the revision ofregnlar and legal proceedings. anal a regular and legal de cision of a emistitutionally constituted, and en tirely independent, though inferior, Court. Lord COCHRANE'S Speech appears to us not to have been directed to the House of Commons.— He felt the force of what we have stated, athl knew that, in tact, the House could do nothing bit expel him, instead of adopting that modest mid judwious proposal which would have sent a Bench of Judges and a Jury, who had delivered th em , e lves upon oath, to be tried by a Secret Com tuittee oftbat House, sitting in inquisitorial privacy in one ofthe SeEAKEtesbve-rooms. The speechwas idently meant for the Electors of Westminster ; for " the tut:OM/zed and virtuoul Constituents" of the Noble Lord ; that is, for the mob-adherents of the restless BURDETT, and that low Cabal of Political JngglerS who admit (for want of a more appropriate) the occasional Scaffold in the Palace yard. These Gentry may possibly be induced to think that Conviction and Pillory render a tried Patriot Only the fitter for their Representation; and if so, and the better part of Westminster do not step forward to rescue it from such a disgrace, it is likely enough that this unhappy Lord may be again returned to Parliament, and{ the trottl)leso:He farce of JOHN WILKES be played over again. • . '• The statements of-Lord COCRRANE, 40. far as we can understand them, seem to rest chiefly on a resentment against Lord ELLENBOROLIo H for not summing up the evidence as he himself would have done; an offence with.which this great Law Authority is doubtless-very often charged by those found guilty under his directions. At the same time we arc not prepared to say, that the sentence is not in our opinion very severe; and we do think growl. of the Contitgy-wbuli. be- better consulted by remitting the Pillory, in considera tion of this brave Naval Officer's fortnei services, than by inflicting a punishment which', however sanctioned by precedent and -established by law, is, we hesitate not in saying, the most unequal, unjust, and objectionable in all points of view that ever was devised. • We shall conclude. with one more remark. The account he gives of his-first connexion in stock jobbing with BUTT is very far from honourable to Lind COC.HRANT“ He pretends. that he would not listen to the earlier insidious advices of that person—who next tempted him.with a gain of 4801. acquired by speculating (unknown to him, and without his petinission), in his name ; and his Lordship, instead of s - prning,this insolent bribe, "'not wanting the money,' desired him to SPORT with the money Lilt he lost it;" or, ia other words . , entered into a foul combination, by which he has lost himself. . Tim PITT CLUB.-We regret that we have not room to give a due report of the magnificent din ner which was given by this Club on Tuesday last, at the City of London TaVern, in honour of the Duke of WELLINGTON, Prince BLUCHER;knd the gallant PLATorF, The DukeS Of Yoit& and CAMBRIDGE were present ; And a considerable num ber of the most distinguished Personages in this Country. Owing to, the overturning of Prince BLUCHER'S carriage on bis return from New market, but by. which he happily received no in jury, the dinner was delayed till 7 o'clock. As the heroic visitors' ascended the stairs, the military 'band struck " See theConqu'ring Hero comes," and " God save the King," followed..—The dinner consisted of every thing rich and lukurions which 'the season could supply, in the greatest abundance_ The usual loyal and coißtitutimial toasts. were given, and many others appropriate to the occa 'ston, and the day passed off• with a dignified fes tivity, worthy of the distinguished charact;srs who were present, and of the Club which thus • lested a spirit of hospitality honourable to itself and the Country.. T.ti THEATRE.— The Merchant of Venice, with the support of Mr, KEgN's Shylock, and novelty of Miss STANLEY'S Portia, drew a numerous au dience last night to Drury-lane Theatre. The. former has so often appeared in Shylock,_ that no comment is necessary. We cannot, however, but express our surprise that in the trial scene, notwithstanding the objections which have been repeatedly .made in the public,_priuts, he should, during the whole time that the Duke addresses him,. turn his hack upon tie'• Court,. and ,direct his front to the Audience: Miss STANIEY, itt the. lighter scenes of Portia, was easy, playful, and pointed, hut, in the More graVe and awful passages, site was, at times, much too violent ; •and her tones, in emphatic words, did not •harmonize with ,the rest of the sentences. flowerer, there were many' passages which she evidently judged for her self, and displayed marks Of good sense :and re fiection.-,-She recei; ed. bif A O. ! • I 55 :1 0 etri!it: ~Ihio, 1110V e( 5 free', reP L Sciellc*, : raly, or V, tiffi l ing 'll` ' e re , i a niv oils ° ab° sta te" 31' NAVAL NEW'. • MAI:, tight battle ships Arid two With home, tinder eonimand of TAT Ar •,..6!.titi the WeSt itali;tti, Pomood, S& a 41:), Elizabeth, Mid Ethelred tritispOrtS, troops, for.

ATROCIOUS CASE BoW-BittEEl.—Oil Tuesday; IV. k r : Miiiiithwfui charted with shooting Elia. rilcher i with n loaded pistol, with intent to inti Mer her. It appeared that E. Pitcher is housemaid tO Mr. Cart wrighti in Lower Grosvenor -street, and k ahOut 23 years of age. On Monday night; about a quarter past ten o'Clock, the footman of Mi. Cartwright an 7 ~..re.cred a knock at the door, When the prisoner presented himself, and asked if Elizadeth was at home; he, understanding him to mean Elizabeth Filcher, replied she was, and called her up stairs. She went to the outside of the street door with the prisoner, shutting the door after her ; the footman Went into the parlour, and in a very short time after, he heard the discharge of a pistol, and a female voice screaming very loud : he went to the street door with all possible speed, when he found Elizabeth cher, and the p'risoner close behind her ; he did not perceive then any discharge of blood, but he observed her gown ragged on the riOit side, and very black, occasioned by gunpowder; be sup ported her in his arms. When Elizabeth Pitcher was .undressed, a large wound was observed und e r her right breast, and copious discharge of Wood from it. • Mr. Cartwright's soi) was the first who seized the prisoner; and took it pistol from him; the barrel of which was completely burst and shi vered to pieces; the lock of the pi7;ol could not he found. The prisoner being properly secured, was conveyed to St. Geor . ge's Watch-houses, where Sir JOHN iIiPPISLEY, who is a Magistrate for the county, attended, his house . being oppokite to Mr. Cartwright's. The prisoner, on his exaini- Dation, confessed that he had shot Elizabeth I'd Cher,. having been in her company on.the after noon previous to that night ; and he added, that he was instigated to the horrid deed in conse quence of her refusing to comply with his wishes; he was asked to expiain what these were, but ha refused. He professed, however, to be in lose Frith !Pet William Dean, a constable, searched him, and found upon loin a large .brass pistol, - not loaded, which matched the other foommd upon him which was burst : the bursting of it Le eXpi,milied to be owing .to his hav;iig Laded it to time top,-, Both the pistols had J. P. engraved oh the brass work of time butt-ends ; and um his beiug called upon to explain these initials, he stated that the pistols had been the property of Falizabeth Pitcher's - father, who died about twelve months since, and he had purchased them of. the - widow, - under a pretence of keep ing them for his sake. He and the - deceased were in the Excise - together, and when Mr. Filcher was on his death-bed, he had msde the prisoner 'Nowise to take care of his family, which produced an iutimacy bet‘treen him and tike family, in consequence of which - he form 'et' an attachment to Elizabeth Filcher, which she had resited. He confessed himself to - he a mar ried man, .but had not lived with his wife for a length of time.. This conduct, besides being in famous,: was extravagant, he being -a man to -ap pearanee between 40 and 50 years of age, and having :no personal recommendations. During the night, he was extremely sick in the wate4:- house, and lie drank between _,13 and 4 quarts of water. Those who hadthecareof the watch-house thought at first that it was owing to the heat of the weather, the closenesS of the place, and the agitation of his mind ; at last they observed somethipg particular in his, conduct which indi cated more than common illness, and questioned him as to what he had taken : he confessed that he had intended to poison himself with arsenic at. the time he silk Elizabeth .Filcher, but he had taken such a . small quantity. that it only made him very sick ; this was owing to the pistol burst big, • which knocked the phial out of his- hand containing the arsenic. This was confirmed by a piece of glass being N found, which had the ap pearance of being part- of a small phial, with, arsenic adhering to the sides, and small pieces of glass being found on the steps, and at the door of Mr. Cartwright's house. The arsenic 'appearei!. to- have. had. no other bad effect on him, as wh-,:n he was brought to the Office lie appeared in good health. .John Hotighton, a watchman, stated, that he was the first watchman who took charge of the prisoner. He saw a pistol in the prisoner's hand, and Mr. Cartwright, jun. take it from WM. After he had seized the prisoner by the collar, he told him he had killed the WOlllllll , she being then ly ing in the footman's arms ; the Fisuner replied, be did not intend to have killed her, but. intended it for himself, and begged that he might be all Ow.; ed w kiss her lips. Mr. Heaviside, the surgeon who dressed the wounds of Elizabeth Pitcher, did not attend. The witnesses stated her to be living at the time they left .Mr. Cartwright's house, but it was suppo.ed she could not .survive. The prisoner stated .himself to hare been dis charged from the Excise Office. He was. com mitted for ftirther examination. WHITE'S GRO,ND ENTERTAINMENT.—Yesterday the magnificent dinner, so long in preparation, was given by White's Club to the Illustri ous WELLINGTON and the Army. At eight o'clock 300 personages took their seats, with the Duke of Yoitx in the Chair, having on his right the Duke WELLtNGTON, 04 his left the Duke of ItICHMOND, The Dauquet was truly sUuiptuoul,
