FRENCH PAPERS. lhom Gali . gnanis Messenger.) Petite, Maacie 20.—The conclusion of the telegraphic despatch from Grenoble of the 18th, which had been in terrupted by the bad weather, was received yesterday. It merely states that when the troops under General d'Uzet entered the town they found every thing perfectly tran quil, and the authority of the Magistrates fully restored The National Guards gave up the pests to the newly ar rived troops, and the judicial inquiries were proceeding. The Government has also received reports from the Prefect, the Proareur- General, the Colont4, end the Commandant of the Gendarmerie. The situation in which the Prefect had been played prevented him front giving any detailed account of the state. of things. According to other statements, dated however before the entry of the • troops, the National marts alone were on duty and were enabled to maintain order. It is now asserted that the National Guards were induced to act and take the charge of the town by the fears of riot and excesses, anti at all events to prevent the tows from being given up to a free corps that watt forming. M. Vassor, who appeared to have a dangerous influence over the popu lace, was arrested, and M. Bastide, apprehending the same f e t e , quitted Grenoble. The reports after which we speak make no mention of excestes having beet committed by the soldiery. The same accounts, though expressing full confidence in the re-establishment of order, speak of engagements having been entered into by the Municipality with the populace, to the effect that the Ok% tit regiment should not be suffer.ei to enter the trove again. It ap pears, however, from the Dauphittois of the 16th inst., that the regiment in question had not left the town ; but vets merely confined in its barracks, where it was to re main until replaced by the eich regiment. The Duu phinoi s adds, that the Genera! eommanding the division wishe'l the posts to he momentarily occupied by ti -.e rNircrent, that it might go through the feem of giving them up to the 6th on its arrival, but it was apprehended that so much irritation would be excited in the people by such a step, that it was supposed that it would not he pressed. As the telegraphic despatch of the 18th only mentions the National Guards as having given up the posts, it is probeh'e that this anticipation was correct. Colonel Lespinasse, the Conntendant of the garrison, has written a letter to the Mayor, declaring that the troops were ordered to act by the Prefect without hie being con sulted, or in any manner aware of what was doing. The Nouvelliste asserts that the only cense for 'lie departure tif M. Penet, the Deputy for the Litre, for Grenoble, was private business, and that his journey had been de cided upon before the news from Grenoble retched Paris, so that he was not only not authorised to modify in any degree the instructions already sent to General Delor", whatever they might be, but Was un invested with any mission or efficial character whatever. A deputation arrived yesterday post from Grenoble in order to lay before the Government the real state tif the town add the department, to txploin the rltii+23 of the troubles that have taken place, to make observations upon ad these occurrences, and to require instructions. 31-ssrs. Felix-Real, anti Dubois-Ayme, the Deputies for Grenoh'e, have addressed a letter to the editor of the Meniteur, complaining of the injustice of prejudging the question now pending before the tribunals, by eulogising the con duct of the Prefect and the troops at Grenoble, since, if it should be proved as asserted, that the citizens, women anti children, were attacked with bayonets without any previ ous sommations, the Prefect who ordered, and the troops who executed, the attack, would, so far from being the sub ject of eulogiums, have committed an act of illegality, subjecting them to severe punishments, and Government would therefore have been comptomistel by their prema ture and imprudent eulogiums. It is asserted that in a conference between the President of the Council anti Count Appony, it has been agreed that the: tai-coloured fl ,g, tvaving over the town and fortress of Ancona, should be removed. Tee Austriau Ambassador, it is added, has obtained this concession by stating to 31, Casimir Perier that the colours of the Emperor of Austria had not been hoisted in soy of the pieces in Ro magna occupied by his troops.— ConNtitutionnel. 'The Augsburg Ga:. Utof the 13th instant brings in telligence from Vienna tet March 12. As no case of cho lera had occurred for seine time at Vienna, a solemn thanksgiving was appointed to be performed in all the churches on the 19th inst. Metalliques, Five per Cents., were doi-; ditto Four per Cents., 76 9-16 The same paper communicates the following, dated frontiers of Lilly, March 6 :—" The Pope appears still to reject with manly firmness the concessions which part of his subjects, sup ported by the French Government, wish to extort from him. His Holiness has declared, that such disrespect ful importunity wss not the way to obtain concessions, which, under other circumstances, he would have wil lingly granted to the Legations, But now he preferred to let events take their course, and has insisted on the evacuation of the Roman territory by the French troops, before he will comply with the proposals made to him fur the good of the country. If the wishes of his Holiness should not be complied with, be would place not only the King of the French but the whole French nation under in terdiction. This threat will probably make some impres sion in Paris, as the southern provinces are strongly at tached to the Catholic religion. It would therefore be very desirable for the internal tranquillity of France, to find the means of maintaining peace ; for should any dis turbances arise from this cause in the French provinces, M. Perier and his frien-is can expect no indulgence from foreign Powers—a coalition as strong as that of 1813 would be the inevitable consequence. They can by no means rely on the sympathy of other nations; they will tint in them no allies against the united Powers, for war teenerally gives a new direction to the minds and the doc trines of the French liberalism, which, when put in execu thm, are, as proved by experience, in contradiction with the welfare and happiness of nations, and terminate in the noise of arms. The Ft ench Cabinet will be convinced by the expedition to Ancona, that the support given to an norttly crowd of Italian rebels will he of as little avail to the protectors as to the protected. Both the French who form_ the expeditioto and those who reside at Rome, know teat nothing is to be done in Italy by violence. We shall scan learn whether the French troops are to evacu tte the Roman territory, or to continue their stay. In the former case al; differences would soon be removed, and tranquillity restored in the Legations by measures for which the Pope ftele disposed; in the latter case, incalculable consequences are to be apprehended." SPIRIT OF THE PARISIAN JOURNALS. Le Journal des Debuts.—" The motion of the Duke of Wellington did rot provoke a discussion upon the ge neral situation of Europe. The d currents I e required to be laid before the House all relate to facts now almost for gotten. Events succeed. each other with great rapidity; and the negociations which preceded the independence of Belgium may have already become a part of ancient his tory. The Duke of Wellington, who pretends to be sin cerely attached to an alliance between France and England, nevertheless loses nu opportunity of embarrassing the re lations between the two countt ie.. endeavotn s to re present a speech of 31. Casimir Perier as at variance with the conduct of the French Government in the affairs of Belgium. The documents to which the Duke refers prove, as he states, that the French Government has never re fused its cu-operation in enfincing the treaty by which the • kingdom of the Netherlands was founded ; and this con duct, he maintains, is in manifest contradiction with the declaration of M. Casimir Perier, that " the French Go vernment took the Belgian Revolution under its protec tion." All this, however, is a mere qu estion of dates It is true that the French Government neither provoked nor protected the insurrection at Brussels; but from the on lay le • which this insurrection became a decided Revolu- tine, France declared that she wou'd not suffer the armed intervention of foreign Powers in the affairs of Belgium. Lord Grey reused to follow the Duke of Wellington into the field of ciiscuesion his Grace had chosen. The speech tol a French Minister in the Chamber of Deputies is not a document, nor can it be made a ground for Parliamentary debate. The Duke of Wellington at last withdrew his motion.". Le Co urr i er F rwicu i s. —" 'We give under the head of foreign news, the answer made by Lord Grey to the speech of the Duke of Wellington. This answer is much less satisfactory than it was expected. There is in the heart of English Statesmen of the old school a Ohre of h .tred and jealousy against Fr :nee, which is sure to vibrate wheneverwords of ambition a nd spirit of conquest are heard. H app il y t h e new genera . tion, who have visited our country, who are acquainted with our manners and have witnessed our efforts, can b et t er appreciate the 4entileents by which the French nation are animated. This generation has an influence over public opinion. When it arrives a t th e he d of affairs it no doubt consolidate•through" etinvictiiiri the bonds which have been formed onlyfrOrn•rireessity. In the meanwhile it is painful to thiLlt that on the other side of" the channel our Ministry. ' seriously accused of views of sograndisement. In such an imputat ion we see nothing but a bitter deli-ion. Earl Grey defended his friend M. Perier in a. very strange manner. He confin.!il himself to staitng that politeness and received usages . . did not per mit him to approve ihe censures of the Dike of 'Welling ton, and forbid ' him to make any harsh reflections. Something inure might have been said for the head of a Cibinrt which has sacrificed the interests and dignity of the country, to the wish of being on friend,' terms with the Prime Minister of England. Most of the London Journals have acted more adroitly, by stating that M. Perier had accommodated his word to the feelings of part of his auditory, and that they must not he taken literally. The discussion, however, has pro_ lured no important result. After the gracious conces.• sinus made by Earl Grey to the Duke of Wellington, the latter did not persist on his motion. Things remain d as they ware before; that ie to t,ay, the Tories will seiz the first opportunity •.!.f ',:ianifesting without disgui-te thei hatred against trance, whist the 3linisterill party dare rot openly avow the sympathy which attaches the Eng lish people to cur nat;on." Le Journal do Cononercc,-...' The discussion raised , by the Duke of Wellington will find its echo through France ; he has l rid most serious accusations against the political system follow, d by the French Cabinet since the Revolution of July. M. Casimir Perier in parti • color is placed position from which he must lose n ,inte in extricating himself, and if the Opposition do not immediately afford him an opportunity of doing so, his friends must maze must either resign his portfolio, or retort upon his accusers the serious charges brought against hint in t e English Parliament. Some intimation of a project of restoring the ff , u.e of Orange has already been made het'e, and tie warmth with which Marshal Souk repelled the insinuation cannot have been forgotten, Now the accusation is openly and firmly madam, anti must be ~nswered in a style equaliy positive." /e National, after quottng the article in the Gl,,be, respecting Lord Stuart de RothY..ty, which will he found under our English. he.id, says :—" The turn given by the Globe to its contradiction is of itself sufficient to teach us, if we were not before sufficiently aware of it, that the late British Ambassador at Paris !as in fact charged by the Tories to watch the proceedings of the French Govern merit, and trap-mit such intelligence as might be use'ul to that parry." Le Temps.-" Of ail the jokes played off against the system f the juste rniliet , , none certainly has been more rutting thsn that launched by the Duke of Wellington. His Grave has not hesitated to accuse our Ministers of being 'possessed with a spirit of cerapesi! '" Le Cons titutionnel, after stating that no opinion can he formed on the question as to whether the authorities or the peocle were to blame in the events of Grenoble until the result of the judicial inquiries shall have shown whe ther the armed force was or was not employed without previous sommations and formalities required by the law, ar guts that three events, as well as the similar scenes which hare been occurring in various parts of France, prove the fallacy of the system which has been so much adopted, of retaining in administrative and judicial situations indivi duals who were employed and are attached to the late dy linty. It maintains that the advantages obtained from the t' clinical knowledge of the business of their office are far mote than counterbalances by the distention which must inevitably exist between them and the partisans of the revo letinn of July, and aids, that the only true way to appre ciate the fitness of a functionary for office is to endeavour to judge limn the former life and character of the indivi dual what would be his conduct if the enemy were within forty leagues march of Paris. On the 12th of last month there was born Cast maecioli in the Niolo, Island of Corsica, a female infant having two beads. The conformation of the rest of the body was nearly regular, except that the chest presented two prominences, with a deep hollow between, and the left kg and foot were srn iller than the right. The two heads are nearly upon a level, and are of the same siz,,; hut the face of that on the left is very pretty, while the other is extremely plain, and the cranium much enlarged. The Corsican journal, which rives the foregoing account, dues not state whether the child is living or not.

GERMAN PAPERS. Ls:trsic, FEE. 27.—Travellers who have lately visited Poland, draw the most melancholy picture of the present state of that kingdom. Several superior officers, who were convinced that they were not included in the classes excluded from the amnesty, have found themselves, on their return, grievously deceived in this respect. Some inconsiderable town or village was assigned them for their place of abode, where they were soon arrested and sent to the interior of Russia. Several weeks ago General Prondzynski was arrested in Warsaw itself, and sent with an escort of Cossacks to exile, on the Ural, contrary, it seems, to the articles of the capitulation, w'iich he signed as second in command to the traitor Krukowiecki, with Field-Marshal Paskewitsch. This took place on the 19th of January. Every body in the city pitied the General, who is universally esteemed as an honest man and a good patriot, and who, in a subordinate capacity, acted entirely by order of the head of the Government, on which account nobody blames him for the capitulation. On the other hand, it is gratifying to all Polish patriots to know that that the traitor Krukowiecki, instead of enjoying the fruits of his treachery, has been punished for it by those who profited by it. He, too, has been sent into exile, fol lowed by the hatred and contempt of all his countrymen. FRONTIER , of HUNGART. FEB. 18.—General Assem blies of the States are more frequent in the Hungarian counties. The chief subjects of deliberation are the mat ters that are to be laid before the ensuing Diet, which, if the peace of Europe is not interrupted, will probably be hell at Presburg in the spring. Yost of the measures in tended to be proposed are in a liberal spirit, and it is pleasing to see the Nobility ready to make s minces to improve the situation of the country. The Ilutigari.ns flatter themselves that the enlightened Government, which would certainly he benefited by the changes, will listen to the wishes of the nation, though it cannot be expected to attend to the unreasonable demands of seine counties, such as the new organization of the duties of customs, the in corporation t.f Galicia with Hungary, the general use of the Hungarian language in a country where scarcely a third part of the population speak Hungarian, &c. HA‘II3I;KG, 111Aacti 13.—The Danish State Gazette announces that his Majesty the King has been pleased to grant the request of Count Moltk, his Ambassador at the British Court, to retire from his post, and has given him the rank No. 10 in the first class.

WM:SANV, MARCH 7.—A work on the cholera, in the German language, by Dr. Leo, has lately been published here ; it is divided into alter sections. In the first the author brings forward the assertion, now for the first time eonfirmed by facts, that the cholera did not break out last year in consequence of the communication between the Russian and Polish troops, but that it was produced by atmospheric and telluric influences. The author, how ever, does not decidedly pronounce against the contagious ness of cho'era in all cases, but a:lows it under certain con ditions, denying however that, like the plague and small-pox, it is propagated by commercial intercourse, the marches of troops, &e. The second section treats of the pathology of the cholera and discusses at great length all its forms, its developetnent in the several states, and its end. The third section gives a critical review of all the hitherto known remedies fine cholera, both in this kingdom and other countries, and describes the cises of the discos , - treated by the author. He commends the mode of treatment adopted by Dr. Mikubinski, in the hospital Of tl.e bagatelle, and disapproves that of Dr. Searle. BRUSSELS MARCH 18.—M. Nicaeri, Chief Secretary of the War 11..p,rtment, has the signature for the ordinary business of the office till the successor of M. de Brotic keee is appointed. M. de Brouckete has just sent to the army an order of the day, announcing his resignation and takisag. s bis leave. I . l*,74(eniteur Beige, in reply to the Courrier, persists in _denying that the modifications in the treaty have been enrariftrnicated in any manner whatever to the Ministers, and adds, "We repeat that the Ministry has no notion whateVer of giving up the right of navigation with or without compensation. Tnis is a mere fiction, and the journals which accuse B-lgian diplomacy should avoid giving arms to our adversaries." CHAMBER OF REPRESENTATIVES, March 17. The Order of the Day for the vote on the whole of the budget of the War Department being proposed, some amendments were adopted without a discussion, except that 371411 r,ducei from 1,000 to 500 florins the allow. ante for forage. M. Pirdna then brought forward hil motion to adjourn the vote till the 20th, in the expectation that a sum:l4°r to M. de Brouckere may be named by that time. The motion was not approved, and the Chamber resolved t o proceed immediately to vote on the budget, which wa adopted by a majority of 73 to 1, five Members declined 4iving any vote. The Chamber then began the diirussim ,1 that part of the budget of the State for 1832, which re lates to the public debt. FRANKFORT, MARCH 13.—The Diet of the German Confederation by a decision of the 2d March, prohibits the Tribune, the Messenger of the West, and the Wing., of Time, as well as any journals which may be sub stituted for them, under any title whatsover in all tht States of the Confederation, and declares the Editors in cap aitated from editing any similar journals of the Can feleration during the term of five yeas from this day. This resolution is founded on the conviction that these pipers attack the dignity and security of the Coafederatioo and of several of the states which are members of it ; tha , they endanger the pine and tranquillity of Germany ; that they endeavour to dissolve the bonds of affection and con fidence which unite the Sovereign and the people, and to destroy the authority of the Government ; that they effect the inviolalelity of the Plinces, threaten persons and pro perty by appeals to force, and encourage to revolt, and tend to produce in Germany a state of anarchy and revo lution, and to form and propagate associations dangerous to the States. The Senate of Frankfort, publishing the resolutions of the Diet, prohibits in cons , quence the sale and distri bution of the papers in question. BRUSEELS, .MARCH 19.—We learn that the time for the ratification of the treaty relative to the fortresses is prolonged to the 31st March, by which time Count Or h.ff will have arrived in London. M. de Meulenaere had announced to the Chamber that a correspon !once had taken place between the English Legation and the Belgia❑ Ministry relative to Mr. Dixon. This correspondence is extrtthe'y voluminous, in conse quence of tire explanations given by the Government re srcting the conduct of M. Dixon ; we are assured that the English Minister has withdrawn all protection from that individual. M. Felix de Merode has tl:e signature in the War office since the resignation of 31. de Brouckere. Henceforth there is to Ins a President of the Council of Ministers. The Commission appointed to prepare a project of law on public instruction has just completed its task, which will be laid before Ministers on Tuesday. According to this project there will he only one university for the whole kingdom; the King will chous,t the city in which it shall he estab ished. BRUSSELS, MARCH 20.—Some of our journals con tain the following article:— " It is affirmed that Lord Palmerston and Prince Tal leyrand, tired of the delays in concluding the affairs of Belgium, have declared to the Ambassadors of Russia, Prussia, and Austria, that if the ratification both of the Treaty of Nov. 15, and that relative to the fortresses have not arrived by March 31, France and England will retire from the Conference, which would this day be dissolved." A letter from the Hague, of March 14, says:—" This morning at two o'clock, M. Junot, a Cabinet Me,senger, set one from this place to proceed by way of Helvotsluys to London. lie was accompanied by two of the three Russian couriers who are in the service of Count Orloff, to be at the service of Prince Lieven, in case be should have any despatches to transmit to the Count, who dined yesterday at Court. Nothing, however, is yet determined with re spect to the depot Lure of the Secretary of Legation, M. Labinsky." M. Fallon, President of the Court of Aecompts, set out far Paris on Sunday evening with the first bonds of the Rigian loan, which are to be delivered to the house of Rothschild. The Commis sioners appointed to inquire into the operations of the army of the Meuse, commanded by General Daine, com pleted its task some time ago. The result is that thete is nothing to affect the character of General Daioe. The King has paid the greatest attention to this affiir, and after all the formalities had been fulfilled, and the reports examined, he granted successive private audiences to the General. The Chamber of representatives has voted without amendment, the proposed sums for the interest and re demption of the last loan, and for other financial pui poses. TRIESTE, SIA Rol 5.—A few days ago we h_•ard that a French man.of-war had been seen near Venice taking soundings. We do not know what truth there may be in this, but a letter fr,m Ancona says, that the Suffren had sailed towards Rimini to look :or a better anchoring place, the harbour of Ancona being inconvenient for large ships. It has been reported that the Pope had resolved to have the late commander of the citad,l of Ancona tried by a Court-martial for delivering up the fortress without firing a shot, though it was abundantly supplied with provisions and ammunition, and is considered as almost impregnable. All the malcontents from the legations flock to Ancona, though General Cubieres endeavours to prevent the influx of strangers and to preserve order. INDIGO CROP IN BENGAL. From an authentic source we have been favoured with the fdlowing detai!s respecting the indigo crop in Bengal, and as the commerce and manufactures of all Europe are deeply interested in the supply and price of this commodity, we hasten to lay the same before our readers. When the last acceunts left India, in Oetoher, the sea son had nearly closed, and the weather having been favour able to the indigo pl rotation', the result was in general successful, especially when the diminished advances and outlay are taken into consideration, as compared with those in the year 1830. The most favoured districts were Bardwan, in the northern vicinity of Calcutta ; Moorshedabad and Mauldah on both shores of the Gauges; Poerneah, on the north side of that river ; and lastly, Tyrhoot, Rijesbye, and Nattora, as well as a few factories about Jessore, in the Delta, of the Ganges. Nuddeah suf fered from the raw north-easterly winds and heavy rains, in consequence of which the present crop will fall short of last year's, both in respect to quantity and quality. The crop of 1831, in comparison to that of 1830, is computed as follows :—The western provinces produced in 1830, 7,474 maunds, and yielded in 1831 only 4,000 ; the central provinces of the Ganges—namely, the districts of Allahabad, Mirzapore, and Benares—produced in 1830 6,516 maunds, and in 1831 about 6,000. In 1830 Jion pore produced 2,698, and in 1830 2,100 maunds ; Gliazypore and Chaprah yielded in 1830 1,367, and in 1831 only about 1,000 maunds ; but Tyrhoot, which in 1830 did not exceed 16,945 =Linde, produced 19,000 in 1881. Patna, Baxar, Arrah, and Dinapore, fell off from 3,965 maunds, in 1830, to 3,000 i❑ 1831 ; hir Banglepore increased from 4,153, in 1830, to 4,500 in 1831 ; as did Purneah from 4,122, in 1830, to 5,500 in 1831 ; Mauldah, Rajashye, and Dinagpore, also proved from 6,860, in 1830, to 7,400 in 1831 ; Hung pore Mymensing declined from 3,014 maunds in 1830, to 2,500 in 1831 ; as did Dacca and J‘llapore, from 4,339 in 1830, to 3,800 in 1831. The fertile districts of Jes sore dropped from 19,679, in 1830, to 17,000 in 1831 ; Moorshedahad front 5,662, in 1830, however advanced to 7,500 maunds in 1831 ; Nuddeah, notwithstanding the unfavourable circumst ances above alluded to, declined only from 20,363 in 1830, to 20,000 in 1831. Burdwan, Birhoom, and &menorah, increased from 3,281, in 1830, to 4,000 in 1831 ; the Hooghly districts and 24 Perya malrs produced 2,080 in 1830, and 2.000 in 1831 ; Ba lasorr, Midnaptre, and Cattack, improved from 325, in 1830, to 500 in 1831 ; making a grand total of 116,071 in 1830—nnly 112,000 maunds in 1831 ; a difference of 4,000 maunds, or 1-29th part of the whole preceding crop, which becomes still wore insignificant when the diminution of the capital invested and advanced is consi dered ; for this was, in some parts, so great as to be nearly equivalent to a total abandonment. The low price indigo has of late years fetched in Europe operated as a prohibition to the further extension of its growth in Hin dostan, even in districts where it had been most success fully cultivated, and closed all those factories which could not produce their indigo at less than the medium charge of 120 rupees per maunds The mean decrease since 1830, and the decrease pro posed for the year 1832, were as follow :-For the western provinces, in the year 1830 was 50 per cent., in 1831 '75 per cent., in 1832 utter abandonment. At Allahak,d. Afirzapore, and Benares, in 1830, 32 per cent., in 1831 24, and in 1832, 20 per cent. ; at Jionpore, in 1830, 30 per cent. in 1831, 20, and in 1832, 23 per cent. ; at Gliazypore, 47, 24, and 15 ; at Gorrhukpore and Cha prab, 10, 15, and 10 : at Tyrhoot, 0, 18, and 20; at Baxar, 40, 20, arid 10 ; at Patna, Arrali, 15, 10, and ; at Bhanglepore, 15, 10, 10 ; at Furneth, 10, 25, 0 ; at 11,jesbye and Nattore, 10, 20, 20 ; at Ruugpore, 5, is, 10 ; at Myrnensing, 20, 25, 35 ; at D ices and Jellapore, 15, 20, and 35 ; at Moorshedabad, 10, 25, 20 ; at Nuddeab, 10, 20, and 20; at Burdwan, Byrb• boom, and Banroorab, 5, 25, 20 ; on the Ilooghly, 0, 28, 20. of outlay o f capita in indigoroTp could effect ta h l at i o f ns t i b s is no d t i Tn i l n m n e t d i' i n ately f e lt, oth e rwise the coPuldnnt of be so considerable as it has been; but it will be very apparent in two or three years hence, as at present the same supe rficial aren a remains unproductive; h na a y ve witheee respecti ourto Tyrhoot, the ac t ua l crop i s sa id to :mputation by 3,000 =wads, and exceeded 'that of Purneab by 500, so as to bring this year's crop within a trifle of tlist of the preceding season.

Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, the King, accompa nied by Lady Kennedy Erskine, the Earl and Countess of Mayo, took an airing in one of his Majesty's close carriages, in the Park, for nearly two hours. Yesterday afternoon the Bishop of Worcester arrived at the Castle, on a visit to their Majesties, as did also Sir Benjamin Stephens. " ' The Queen has not left the Castle since her sudden return from St. James's Palace on Thursday morning last. This forenoon their Majesties attended Divine Service, ac companied by the whole of their household suit in present at tendance. The grand music room was prepared for the occa sion. The service was read by the Rev. Mr. Wood, and after wards the Bishop of Worcester delivered a most eloquent discourse. _ . After the conclusion of the service their Majesties, the Royal suite and household, contributed liberal donations for the bene fit of the poor. The answer to the inquiries yesterday morning relative to the Princess Louise was, that :ler Highness was much the same as yesterday. In the afternoon it was announced that she was worse than on the previous day. To-morrow ;this day) the King will leave the Castle for St. James's Palace, in order to hold a levee. His Majesty will return in the evening to dinner. The Lord Bishop of St. David's has been pleased to collate, by Commission, the Rev. Charles Griffith, 11. A., of Christ Church, Oxon, and P.

On Sunday last Mr. O'Connell made his triumphal entry into Cork, escorted, says the Mercantile Chro nicle, by upwards of 200,000 individuals. He made a violent speech, as usual, to the assembled multitude, about the absolute necessity of repealing the Union, and expressed himself certain of being able to accomplish it. The Rev. John Baines Graham, M.A. has been inducted into the Rectory of the one mediety of Burnsall in Craven, in the county of York, on the presentation of the Rev. John Graham. EPIGRAM. (ON THE IMMORTSLITV OF PEEL'S SPEECHES,) Thy speeches are eternal, oh ! my friend, For he that hears them—hears them to no end. Figaro in Loudon. The expectation of no more convicts being sent out from England to New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land after the Ist of January, lt<32, is practically refuted by the Catherine Stewart Forbes, and other convict ships, having lately sailed with full cargoes for that destination ; and although the former was attacked by cholera in the English Channel, and compelled to put into Plymouth, and has since returned to Stangate Creek, she has not landed any of her prisoners, nor changed the original object of her voyage. AN APPROPRIATE EPITEIET.—Mr. Perce val was always considered a very scrupulous man, but his late motion has indeed given him a character he will never get rid of, for being fast-hideous.—Figaro in London. The last New York Papers announce an in tended meeting of the young ladies of that city, for the purpose of devising some plan to improve the morals and habits of the young gentlemen. The object on the part of the ladies is said to be " not to keep company with any young gentleman who is in the habit of tippling, visiting taverns, theatres, oyster-cellars, &c., whereby he disgraces himself and family, and lays the foundation of his future ruin." Advices from Chili state that preliminaries of peace had been signed by the adverse Chiefs, Gamara, of Peru, and Santa Cruz, of Bolivia. This had been chiefly brought about by the last Congress at Lima, which had refused to sanc tion the war, notwithstanding all the influence and eflbrts of the President, who had even quitted the army on the frontier, and suddenly appeared in Lima, fo try the effect of his presence and personal weight with the Members. The members of the Travellers' Club com plain that the ground-floor windows of their new house are ele vated far too much above the level of the street, and will entirely deprive them of a sight of the pretty faces, which are objects of so much attraction to the loungers at White's Boodle's, and Arthurs's. On Tuesday night a young girl, named Al - phonsine de Vernon, who has for several weeks past been parading the streets of Paris in the uniform of a Polish officer, was taken into custody by the police.—French Paper. Among the many duties anciently attached to the high office of Earl Marshal of England was the following, which, if now put into practice, would not merely increase the business of that great officer, but would create some little bus tle in the purlieus of St. James's Palace :—" The Earl Marshall has a verge to be carried before the King, whereupon the space about the King, containing twelve miles, is called the Verge. It is his charge, and the charge of those assigned unto him, to keep the verge free from harlots. The Marshall shall have from every common harlot found within the limits of the house, fourpence the first day; if he should be found again, she shall be forbidden before the Steward, not to enter the King's Palace, nor the Queen's nor the children's. If the third time she be found, she shall be imprisoned, or abjured the Court ; if she be found the fourth time, her hair shall be shaven; and the fifth time, the upper lip shall be cut car" WAGER. IN HIGH LIFE.—A wager for the sum of 109 sovereigns was laid a few days since between a gallant Captain at the West End of the town, and the fasci nating Lady , so very remarkable for her personal at tractions. On dit—the " brave hero of the Poles" is to collect, within the short space of two calendar months, 5,000 signa tures, accompanied by the gratuitous subscription of as many pennies, commencing from the General Fast-day. The amount is, we understand, to be applied to the funds of the Refuge for the Destitute. The race of street-keepers, with their gold laced coats and bats, are about to be extinguished in their last strong hold—the City. They are to be superseded by a new police force, which is to patrol the streets by day only, and which is to be paid and regulated on the model of the county police. A hundred men have been chosen, and measured for their suits of blue. STANDARD NOVELS.—The forthcoming number of this highly popular series, will consist, we are in. formed, of Cooper's tale of the " Pioneers," which the author has repeatedly declared to be the one which gave him most pleasure in writing, inasmuch as the scene of the story is laid in the haunts of his youth. This circumstance has endeared the tale to the countless admirers of the great American no velist. The number last published of " The Standard Novels" completed " The Canterbury Tales," of the Misses Lee, and contained among others the romance of Kruitzner, so often eulogized by Lord Byron in his letters and conversation. FEMALE INCONSTANCY,—AbOUI. two years since a young lad emigrated from this neighbourhood to Ame rica. Like most other lads of his age, it happened that the emigrant was deeply in love. " The parting" is said to have been unusually tender, particularly on the part of the damsel. The young man had literally to tear himself from her em braces. It is needless to add that before the last word and the last look were exchanged, vows of unalterable attachment were made on either side. Dulcinea asked Arthur his " hand as well his word, that when once comfortably settled he would on return to his native hills, marry "his own dear Elspet," and take her with him to Yankee's land. Arthur, a few weeks after his arrival on the other side of the Atlantic, wrote to " his heart's best treasure" that his prospects were bright, and that in the spring of the present year he would return for her. The nymph, on receiving the letter containing the good news, immediately set about praying— " Ye gods ! annihilate both time and space, And make two lovers happy." Whether it was from the chagrin that " the gods" did not listen to the maid's orisons, or that the maxim " out of sight out of mind" was verified in her experience, we know not, but it so happens that the unfortunate young roan, with a fidelity which knows but few parallels, actually returned from the Uni ted States a few weeks since for no other purpose than to marry and take our Elspet with him. Instead, however, of being re ceived in the cordial manner he expected, her maidship was ex ceSslvely sulky, and refused point blank to marry him. The young man, we understand, sets out immedirtely for the • Western Hemisphere, as unshackled as he came home. The 'chance is, if the disappointed young man could only bring him self to think it, that he will be much better without Elspet. It is hoped that "the garret" awaits the unfeeling and unfaith. Cirtrity, J. EMBANK, General Accountant. Excise-office, London, March 12, 1832. The Duchess of Saxe-Weimar was expected to arrive yesterday, at the Tower-stairs, from Holland.

One of the decores of Juiy being the other day much pressed by the collector of taxes to pay up some ar rears that were due from him, tore the medal from his button. hole, and, dashing it on the floor, exclaimed, "There, take it! that is all the Revolution has left me I"—Constitutiortncl. REPEAL OF THE UNION.—PATRICK'S DAy.—We have been informed that every Irishman who ex hibits a shamrock this day, is to be considered a repealer IVe.rford Independent. Our Yankee friends are a thin-skinned race; and never, perhaps, has this trait in their character been more strikingly exemplified than in their treatment of Anderson, the singer. The last victory, achieved by these magnanimous re. publicans over this unfortunate individual was at Baltimore, about the middle of last month. Anderson was announced to sing at the Adelphi Theatre in that town ; and on the evening fixed for his performance the interior of the house was crowded, whilst on the outside a mob of several thousand people had as. sembled. Before the curtain rose Mr. Archer came forward and inquired whether Mr. Anderson would be well received, but .before this point could be settled the mob outside went to work with sticks, stones, &c., broke all the windows, forced the doors, took possession of the stage and dressing-rooms, and de stroyed a great deal of property. :..; . tder6un himself escaped.

(Tills DAY.) This morning the half-vearly meeting of the Bank Pro prietors was held in the Council Chamber of the Bank, for the purpo , c of c , nsidering what dividend should be declarcd out of the profits of the Company upon the stock for the half-year ending the sth proximo. The meeting wa. not numerous, Preci,Tly at 12 o'clock, Mr. PALmER, accompanied by the Bank Directors, en tered the room and took the Chair. The minutes of the preceding adjourned meeting were read and approved. The Chairman then announced that at the half yearly meeings of the Court of Directors they had come to a resolution that a dividend of 4 per cent. profits should be declared upon the Bank Stock for the half year ending sth April next. This resolution was put from the chair, and wgi seelruled by Mr. James Campbell, and carried nern. con. A Stockholder from the cross benches then pui g tion to the Court, the object of which was to ascertain, whether any, and what, negotiati..ns were pending between his M. , jesty's Ministers and the Bank Directors respecting the Rad; Ci,arter and the interests of the Company. Mr. H. PALMER said that it was the wish of the Di rectors to afford every information upon the subject to the Stockholders. At present he could only say that it was the intention of his Majest'y's Ministers, immediately after Easter, to move for a Committee upon the general ques tion of the Binking System in this country, and he need scarcely say that the Bank of England Charter, with the husine,s of the company, would form one of the sub jects of inquiry by the Committee. Until that Committee of the House should make its report, no bargain or ar rangement could be made by the Bank director?, either with his Majesty's Ministers or with Parliament. The GENTLEMAN who put the first question, and whose name we could not ascertain, thin adverted, in a low voice, to the advances which bad been made by the Bank to the Government, from the first incorporation of the Company to the present day, and he wished to know whether the Directors were &de to lay a statement of three transactions heron, the Proprietors? The CHAIRMAN said, that if the gentleman who had addressed him would put a motion to that effect in writing, it would h submitted to the meeting. The conversation then dropped, and the meeting was adjourned. EAST INDIA HOUSE.-(THIS DAY.) A Quarterly General Meeting of the Proprietors of India Stock, was held this day at the Eat India House, which was made special, for the purpose of laying before the Pro prietors a draft of a Bill now before Parliament. entitled "A Bill for providing for the dischaige of a claim in respect of minter advanced by the late James Hodges, Esq , on the security of the lands of the late Zemindar of Nozeed and Mostaphatnagur, in the district of Fort St. George, in the East Indies, now under the government of the East India Company " Sir Rout - Jur CANIPIVELL in the chair. The minutes of the last meeting having been read and confirmed, The CHAIRMAN stated that certain papers, which were now b e f o r e Parliament since the last meeting, were now printed and ready for the inspection of the Proprietors. Captain Gownt inquired of the Hon. Chairman what steps bad been taken towards promotinz the education of the natives of India, and the number of schools that were now established for that purpose. He said that when be went to India 26 years ago, the then Govern ment of the country seemed to consider that the teaching or enlightening of the natives .vas a speeies of treason, he was happy that the case was now altered, and that under the rule of the present indefatigable Governor-General, the education of natives was set about in good faith. The CHAIRMAN begged to assure the Hon. Proprietor, that the Company had always been most anxious to pro m 'te the education of those under their control—it had only been twenty-six years since that Hon. Proprietor went out to India, it was forty-six since he (the Chair man) went there, and he had found the then Goverstnent as ready and wiling as any other to do all they could for hit great purpose. As present be was not prepared to enter into a detail of the proceedings that had been adopt, d towards effecting a' desirable an object. Under the Act of Parliament of 1813, the Company were authorized to expend annually one lac of rupees in educating the °a t'ves of India, since the passing of that Act, however 170,000/. hid been so expended.—(Hear, bear.) The papers de.ailing the manner in which that money had been expended were now before Parliament, and he be- Hey. d would soon be printed and laid on the table of the Caur fir the ;inspection of the Proprietors. He had no doubt but they would satisfy the Honourable Pro prietor that the Court of Directors had done all that lay in their power to promote the education of the natives of India. An Hox PROPRIETOR asked whether there was any truth in a lepor t which had been very generally circulated, that an order had been issued to prohibit the exportation of specie from India. The CHAIRMAN said there was no foundation for such a report; no such order_had been made. Captain GOWEN moved for a return of the expenses incurred by the Directors in their official excursions to Hayiesbury, Addiscombv, Rochester, Blackmail, &c. &c. They had considerably reduced their expenditure abroad, and he considered that it also ought to be carried into effect at home. He di , l not see that there was any occasion for four horses in such visits. Alr. CARRUTHERS defended the conduct of the Di.. rector.. The expense had been as small as was consistent with the dignity of their office. Sir PETER LAURIE trusted that whatever reduction might be made in the home expenditure, no reduction would be made in corps of volunteers in the Company's service, He considered them a most efficient and useful body. The CHAIRMAN said that the expense incurred by the Directors (luring the past year were to Haylesbury 991., to Addiscombe 341., and for the last three years the visits to R°chester had been 172/.—(Hear)—and to Blackwall 51.—(A laugh.) The volunteers had fre quently been of use in suppressing tumults in the metro polis, and he considered ought not to be reduced. The motion was negatived. The draft of the Bill for which the Court had been made special was laid upon the table without rematk. Capt. GOWER suggested that the Museum should be open to the public for three days in the week.

The Loan CHANCELLOR inquired of Mr. Spencer whe ther he had considered of the offer that had been made at the bar by his son's Counsel, namely to refer all matters whatever in dispute to some Barrister. Mr. Spencer regarded the offer as an offer so indefinite that he could not accept it. but as his Lordship had so often recommended the ate pt. act, •' it to him he hoped he might be allowed to state more fully why he could not accept it. The LORD CHaNcELLox objected to this. The reasons he had nothing to do with. Fie was sorry that the offet was not accepted, and he would delay giving judgment till the rising of the Court that Mr. S might think better of it, and that he might nut bg taken by surprise; notwith standing had judgment been given at once, he could not be supposed to have been taken by surprise.
