The PRINCE•REGENT rode yesterday in his car riage, before ten o'clock, to the Dock-yard, where be was met by the Sovereigns,. the Royal Dukes, the Grant! btICILeSS,Of OLDEN/WRGH, and a no— merous retinue of General Officers. After paying a visit at the house of the flon C. GIiKY, the Commissioner of the Yard, the Illustrious groupe walked to the stairs ; the Duchess of OLDEN -nuttoa taking the arm of the REGENT. His Royal Highness and suite embarked in the King's barge,' and the Noble Strangers embarked in the Port Admiral's barge, amickthe cheers of the town. — Fourteen ships of the line, chiefly of first-rate, were moored at anchor in two lines, from south east to north-west, extending nearly four miles. The vessels were the Ville de Paris, St Domingo, Bedford, Rodney, Chaticant,,i'rhiee,figre, Queen, Sceptre, Magnificent, Montague, Stirling Castle, and the flig-ship, the Impregnable, onboard of which-the distinlruished 'Visitors assembled. On the arrival orthe PEINCP. REGENT'S barge withiu sight of the fleet, a Royal salute of 21 gums was fired by the whole fleet at once. On the barge bearing the Royal Standard reaching- the flag-ship, the flag of leis Royal highness thebekc of CLARENeE was struck-, and the ItoYal Standard, of hew and exquisite workmanship, was hoisted at the Main-top-gallant-mast head, and it %vas sa luted by every ship excepting that on Which . the Royal Standard was on ba un, with 21 guns by .the whole fleet at once. Uere a picturesque scene presented itself, which.ean only be appreiateil by those presci4. The yards of. the several vessels bad been manned on the RF.6eNr's barge appear ing iii sight. The guns„were fired at cute by the whole fleet. It isymmptite'd that - SOO s tti at this mo- - ment were under way traversing opposite courses, in the space of fourtniies,and yet such was the ma nagement that lie act:idea happened.; The hills surrounding, the - battlements, and Portsmouth and Southsea Cohnuon were covered with' mostly elegant company. The 'Newcastle and Antelope ships of wh. at. this thus.: convoyed an American outward-hound fleet to St. Helen's:: The lin pregnable hosted the Union flag at tilt:, mizen, and that of the Admiralty at the !ovc..--top gallant' mast bea(l ; and on the RE“ rNT arriving ol board, the crew welcomed him w:th three cheers, and the. band played, -" God ,save the •Kille.". ,The four frigates, as We before stated, and other vessels'of war, were under weigies daring ttte• time, dis-; playing naval' tactics. Some French vessels. were obs,erv:-!t1 among ,the multitude. His Royal Flightless the Pat NCC REGENT, and fits . laustrious Friends, returned to. Sally Port, where they landed .at four o'Clo:!•., the Royal Standard having been shuck on board the Impregnable, with the yards again manned ; a third Royal Salute by the whole fleet was fired, and a fourth on the party lauding, by signal from the plattorm. The Admirals Captains . of the fleet assembled on board the flag-ship by signal, and accompanied the REGENT on shore in proces sion. Ten thousand troops were..- drawn up in Portstnonth,.at the landing, and a feu dejoye was fired, and several times repeated with much dex terity. The Officers of the fleet, and a distin guished party dined with the REGENT at the Go vernment House in Portsmouth. After the amusements. of the day bad closed . with the setting sun, an event occurred which gave fresh life to the town. A coach, drawn by eight horses, drew up . at the CrOwn Inn, or Cla rence Hotel, and who should'alight but the gal lant BLUCHER. He was instantly recognised, and on no occasion in Loudon was the - populace more numerous : the eagerness to grasp his hand by both sexes was unparalleled. " Blucher, Blu cher !" filled the air. " Shew the the Conqueror of the Tyrant. Come forward, BLUCHER." The gallant veteran appeared at the windoW with his accustomed cheerfulness—the air was - rent with applause. • When the roar was out, the General, in English, with a bumper' in his hand„ drank the health of the company. We leave the reader tojudge in what manner this toast was returned. This day the REGENT. proposes to receive the con gratulations 'of the Mayor and Corporation of Portsmouth. After which, the workmen in the Dock-yard. are to copper a ship in two . hours. Next, a review of the military, and then another acquatic excursion. To-morroW, Saturday, his Royal Highness will breakfast with the Duke of RICHMOND at Goodwood. - There are still about 4000 sick Frenchmen at Hamburgh they are wandering about the streets like spectres. • The Friends bf the British and Foreign School SoCiety dined together yesterday at the Free/ma sons' Hall. • The.

When the Usurper of the Spanish Crown put his fortunes ou the last hazard; it was the brave Second Division of tlie•Allied .:!.riuy, directed by Lordll,, and - acting under your • irnuediate command, that began toe tritions of that mcmorabl..! day, and by their iiresistible - valot:r a victory, which drove the Trench arum to their own frontier, and 'rescued the Peninsula from ,their oppression. By your great achievements on that day of glory, you enroiied your name in the list of those distill guisneu Olicers to whose services the debt of our '1 hanks is due; and !.now, therefore, in the name of the Coanuons of th e United Empire of Great Britain and Ireland return you their unanimous Thanks for your great exertions in the splendid Victory of Vittoria, oq the lst of last dune, by which the French Army were routed and defeated with the l os s of 'all their artillery, . stores, and baggage."--(Loud cixerild.g) SirWILLIAM STEWART returned thanks at same length, but in so low ktone of voice that we were unable. in the-Galfery to collect the import of his speech, which was nevertheless repeatedly cheered by the House. • by SetiAttxr.—" Lieutenant-General Sir William Stewart, and Major-General Pringle, it is my dtity now to deliver to you oar Thaiiits for those gallant am! meritorious exertions which completed the•liberation of Spain. The inhabitants o f the Pyrenees, by whom they were witnessed, long point out to their admiring country taco those heights anti piel..hs; Where British' valoor sometimes repelled the •attaelts of the foe, sometimes tidy-aimed to their and at last, with overwhelming force, bore down irresistibly on their broken, and distlelted ranks.

(Lawi cheerink.) . \V!.n. Stewart and . Major-General ..Pringle returned thanks ; in the course of xvhich the latter ascribed the successes which had been gained to the able 'arrangements of the,Commander in Chief and the bravery of the trciops''employed, • The S'2EA Elt.-" Sir ThouiS' Picton,- Lieutenant-General Sir William Stewart, Lieutenant General Sir Henry Clinton, ..and Major-General Pringle ; you now stand among us to re ceive our 'Thanks for the signal victories won by the British arms on the plains of France. Descending from the Py rennees, you surmounted, in au adverse season, all the on-, stacies, and removed the difficulties, which presented them selves to you; 'and, passing the foimidabk• torrent of the Nive, aster a long series of olistinate and sanguinary eon , tests, you came up with' the French army posted on the heights of Orthez. British bravery was irresistible. The enemy gave way, and retritated—retreat was soon converted into alight, and flight into rout. You pursued thent until you crossed the Adour, and there seizing on their strongest holds, you laid open the vray on , the one lisrid to the libera tion of Bourtleaux, on the other to the lamented, but glo rious • day of Thoulouse. It was your fortune to reap the latest laurels of this glorious, war. Having led your un dauntedcolninns from the bank's ofthe Tagus to the banks of the Garonne; you there witnessed,.with arms in your hand, the downfall of that gigantic tyranny, to the destruction of which your own noble' and traweericd exertimit had chit fly contributed. To those of our gallant heroes who are num bered among the Members of this House, it is my duty and my happiness to return our Thanks; and I do therefore, it the name of the Uouninins of the United Empire of Great Britain and Ireland, deliver to you their Thanks, for the zeal, ability, and valour exhibited by you throughout the c.thimign which concluded with . the Battle of Orthez, and the occupa tion of liourdeaux."—(Loud cheeriag.) Sir Thomas Picton, Sir, \V 'Stewart, Sir Henry Clinton, and Major-General Pringle, severally re turned thanks, and were loudly .cheered by the House. Lord CASTLEREAGH observed, that €IS it must always gratify the House to see their heroes. ap pear among them, so he was sure that he was enlv speaking the sense of every El:glishman wh(}n he expressed the high gratification which was afford ed by the manner in Which the gratitude of the House and of the Country was always cowrey ed to them from the Chair:—(l - lear, beer, hear !) He concluded by moving, that: the Speaker he re quested to enter on the Journals his Addresses or: that day, to Sir Thomas Picton, Sir• Stewart, Sir Henry Clinton, and 'Major-General Pringle, and their Answers thereto.—Ordered. LORD COOiRANE. An Officer ; appeared at the Bar, with a copy of the Record of the Trial " the King v. De Be reuger and others," Ordered to lie,ou the table,' and to be printed. Mr. BIIdADHURST moved that this Record be taken into consideration on Friday next,—that Lord Cochrane should attend in his place in,the House on the.same day; and thAt his Lordship should be brought to the nouSe in the custody of the Marshal of the King's Winch, and that the . Speaker . should issue his Warrant, to cause his Lordship to be so brought up also that a copy of this order should be sent to Lord Cochrane.— tie moved that Mr. Cochrane Johnstone should be ordered to attend in his place on the same day. ,These Motions were severally put and agreed to, with Out. opposition. Mr. Hoops said, that it had beer: bis :ntention htti titO-bt, that a copy of 0-09 the trial thould be laid hei - :ore the consulting his Majesty's Attorie,y tit(l :Soi;e4 , .; Generals as to the propriety of such nirition 31; had been by•them informed that such' a 'ttiOtiod. tcoold not be regular. .this to 1 - f iord Cochrane: jut on t his day ~: received a letter from iris Lordship, prc::i to sub:ttit, such, nibtion to the ,Honse at all events. He there Core moved ; that there shbnht he laid before the lionse a cdpv of the itepott of the late. Trial on the indictment before the Cot of King's Bench ; _which Lord Cochrane watt concerned, together with any afivklvit su , .te4 meat of his LordAiip's presented to the said Court. Mr, liitowstli,seconded the motion, and . isiJezi that it had included :a toi,y of the Judge's notes on the triin, orier•thpt the Haose tin offortunity to come to a eonClusion itser the subject. Without this it appeared to lain: ; .that the House would be debarred froth formint! just jtidgment on a subject highly interesting to itself. ,It struck him, that in al cases where the. House was to act on . the judginent of the COurt below, the grounds on which this jUdg'inent was formed, ought to be ltiid before the House ; and that this was dispe4Sed with only li l y con sent ofthe parties' coneeflied. In the preseut stance -this was particul4rly necessary, because one of the parties had ail along tuveigltecf - against the judginent of the Court, and had made every effort to obtain a new trial. There was no ti“.,,tion as to the course which the "louse would he called on to W - tirc“ - ‘l, tut' die. 'parties ; and on this account it was pectiiiarly ue cessary that the House should investigate the case itself, without being prejudiced in its priiceedihgs by the judgmetit of the Cotter. Every effort had been made 'by the Noble Lord to have the sen tence brought under, the revis ion of the Court ; but this was refused on account of a technical cb jection. As to the supposed cvisdoni of the rule, he would say nothing.turbher than that the Court had intrenched itself behind it, and therefore re fused to revise the sentence. It therefore becanie the flouSe to act with the utmost caution, and to judge for itself. For his own part, he %youlti rather sit .in the House with a.man degraded by a sentence to stand on the pillory, than expel hini . , on the decision of the Court below, if he thought that decision questionable. The sentence of the Court below had, in this case, the voice of the nation'against it. Ile could not believe that the Noble Lord would have done all that he had done since his accusation, nor that he \you'd have writ ten the letter which the'Speaker had received front hits, unless lie,hadbeen "innocent. He had never in his life spoken to Lord'Coehrane, had never been introduced to him—had - never been . in the same room with unless in that House, He spoke and he acted on those facts 'which were _notorious. . Mr. stoodADHUIIST So comtttitted to the Rotse, that lie codld. not but say a feW words'. He had not yet resoled to adopt that course ; nor to propose that measure to the House, xvhich seemed to he expected after what he had already done. If any Hon. Member had an intention .to lake al ..2.tep .which might lead to the justitica .lion of the persons concerned, he would be' thc last man to oppose any obsHele to it. HouviEs , bad submitted the motion to the House only in consequence of the earnest solici tation of Lord Cochrane, intheletter which he had rnOttioned.. - The AyroliNEy-GENERAL tos,e to address thg House on tile pr.eseeit occasion, tinder some very unpleasant feelings. lie hoped that the -Not'':: Loyd, who was absent, would give hint the credi,t, that if it was in his (tile Attoniey-General's) _power tu'do any thing 'to ameliorate the tituatiOrt of the Noble Lord, he would do it gladly. tlr motion he could not agree ; for it Went to im pede the administration of justice, and to impeach that sacred institution, the Trial by Jory. What was, the House called upon to do by this motliffi It was required that the .House should act as a Court of Repeal ; as a Court of Error ; that it should revise the sentence of a Cottrt•of Justice. If this was allowed, there would be 'in) bounds to what v. - ould be .required of the House. on ,the same principle. if ttle motion was agreed to, could the prosecutors be justly hindered-from re-stating their case and calling upon the Honse to consider their evidence. This would lead to proceedings ( - )o inconvenient, and so onerous as to startle the House. As to the ‘ proceedings the Court of Justice, he would make no obser vations. The House would not expect lihn ; to attempt any thing so abs . nrd or so indecorous 'to vindicate the proceedings of a Court, of whom it was not too witch to say, that it MIS composedof individuals as distinguished for learning and pro bity as any who had ever occupied.the sane high station: IL ‘rould o4ly say this, in answer,to the Hon .Getitleman on the other side of the House elr. Brown), that if there was a g - e!)erai feeling that the sentence was unjust (for his own part he die, not believe there was any such general he could tally say, that it was passed by thole who of all others in the, nation Avert!. 1116 st capable of judging.. What the feelings of . intlivi.hodsmight be, as to the senteneV, he knew not. And as is its being said that the sentence o. f the C _ourt s as complained of by one of the individuals, he W0111:I only say, thay.he scarcely ever heard of. an;' of fender, however guilty, who did not complain' of the severity and injustice of We sentence ri , td oil him. 'the Hons. Gentleman said, that the CoUrt had been able tt.)- refuSe a new trial - by in-I trenching itself within technical rules. wonl.l have the Hon. Gentleman know, that in a British Court • ; no technical rule was made.to operate mu fairly against any person before it. • This had 'been particularly the case towards the Noble Lord in queStion, 'to whom every latitude con sistent with , equity had been allowed . . The trial had been brought on sooner, to the inconvaiii ence of the other suitors at the Court, in order to accommodate the Noble Lord, and some of - the others concerned,- who earnestly solicited it of the Bench. The defendants had every_oppoi tunity afforded them to make their defence. They were tried before a full Jury, and found guilty. When the Noble Lord had appeared to move fora new . trial, he was told that this could not be grant ed, as some of the other defendants, pre-conceiv ing the sentence, had disappeared.- On Om d,y
