We Cannot see why he slio s nlil be treated with severity, when SUCHET and VElz nrxeL, anil other feiLOws of the same stamii, are received into fdroor. We have great pleasure in copying the follow ing from a Provincial Paper; This is an'example of the best. measure for amelidili; the Cora Laws. " It.is said, that Sir W. P. - CALL, Bart. has announced his intention to redUce his rents .to his tenants in Corn►call, in proportion to the decline in the prices of farm produce; and on' the same principle the wages of his numerous workmen, by the fair and equitable ratio of the price of provisions." Iu Norfolk they have been hanging Mr. COKE, and a Miller of the name of WILKIN, in effigy, The latter has addressed a plain and sensible let ter to the Public, which, as it contains, in a home ly and intelligible style, the essence of the argu ment in favour of the war prices, we shall insert to-morrow, . with some notes in the same manner. One of the Paris Papers contradicts the fact of the Duel between a Russian and French Officer, an account of which first appeared in THE SUN.— The Parisian Nirriter is mistaken—we had the particulars of this affair from an Eye-Witness, whose veracity is unimpeachable. Mr. KRAUNTZE arrived yesterday morning at the Foreign Oifice, with dispatches from Viscount CASTLEREAGH, at Paris, which place he left on Friday. The return of his Lordship is not known, nor is the departure of the Allied Sovereigns for this country. - Private accounts represent the French capital to be the seat of endless intrigue, and it is not eiithout great surprise that several of the most co torious adherents of the late Tyrant have recently been seen to arrive there, and even to be received With distinction. As the Negociation branches out into detail, difficulties of• various kinds must be expected to arise. It•is said, and we cannot be surprised at it, that M. TALLEYRAND has started many objec tions against the introduction of English manu factures on the footing of the Treaty of 17Sti.— All reasonable niodifications ought to be acceded to on our part. It would not be a wise policy in us to hold up Lours XVIII. to his people as a Sovereign • incapable of maintaining their just rights. an the other baud, as we are rich iu conquests, the restitution of which France must owe solely to our liberality, we have both the right and the power to - insist on her doing justice in return:- We ought not to cede an inch of ter ritory to her, until she has agreed to an equitable Commercial Treaty ; to a reduction of her Army within limits which would leave us nothing to fear for - the peace of Europe; and, lastly, to an aban donment of the Slave Trade.— (Times.) A Cabinet Council sat yesterday afternoon at the Foreign-Office. Saturday the Earl of LIVERPOOL and Viscount SIDMOUTH had audiences of the PRINCE REGENT. Yesterday the LORD CHANCELLOR and the Earl of LIVERPOOL had audiences of his Royal Highness. Saturday night, about eight o'clock, the Duke of CAMBRIDGE arrived at Carlton House. his Royal Highness landed at Gravesend,. and came over from the Hague in twenty-two hours. His Royal Highness eft town early yesterday mot ing lot' Windsor, to pay his respects to the QUEEN and PRINCES s;s.

Mr. StiERNER arrived early ori„ Saturday morn ing at the Admiralty, with dispatches from the Duke of CLARgNCE. The Duchess of OLDEtcEuRGH left Pulteney Hotel fiti Saturday for Brighton. She was ex pected bad( to her hotel last night. An Officer xvho arrived on Satuiday at Ports mouth, from Bourdeaux, states, that on the 6th instant, the Centaur, 74, Captain J. C. WHITE, and Challenger sloop of war, Captain VERNoN, sailed from that port, with a few transports, hav, ing on board the 7th and 87th regiments of foot, .for America. The 6th and slst British regiments, and two Portuguese battalions, with two squa drons of English hussars, were at Bourdeaux on the above date. On Thursday orders were re ceived at Portsmouth to' prevent the embarkation - of detachments of regiments, which were on their way to join their respective corps under the Duke of WELLINGTON. Those detachments whose re giments are in America are to proceed. Mr. QUARANTOTTI'S REScHIPT.--From the Du blin papers it would appear, that this famous do cument has produced an effect the very reverse of conciliation in Ireland. The Evening Post, as evidence of this feeling, states, that on Sunday se'nnight,.-a placard, containing these words, "No Congregation for Vetoist Priests," was posted . at the chapel doors of certain Gentlemen, supposed to be secret favourites of the Veto, and that the chapels were in consequence almost deserted. The titular Catholic Bishop of Daomoae, in a letter to Dr. POYNTER, to whom the Rescript was first addressed, thus speaks of it :—" Why would Monsieur QUARANTOTTI disturb the har mony of the great and respectable Irish Catholic Body, by forcing upon them an unnecessary Re scrip;, which they detest beyond any thing you can possibly conceive ? It is, in its consequences, mischievous, as it places our hierarchy in a very z mkward situation. If they do not agree to the Rescript, the Government %rill mike new objec tions to them, which it could not have made be fore if they agree to it, they will lose the Con fidence of the people." The workmen now employed on the grass plat in St. James's Park, arc preparin;..; the frame-work of an octagon building, to he erected in the PRINCE REGENT'S garden. The object is, as we are informed, to raise a capacious ball-room. It is to be 134 feet in diameter. The copyhold estates of the late Lord STRAF FORD were publicly sold last week at Wakefield, and though not amounting to 550 acres, pro duced 74,770/. or Ireariy 1301. per acre. NA VAL_ NEWS.

TIIE THEATRES, ' DitTTRY-LANE.--Th6 extraordivary success ot Mr. KEnir has awakened a spirit of etnulatiou among the theatrical fraternity, that promises en tertainment to the public, as well as improvemet i tt to the profession. On Saturday last Mr. RAF.: made his first appearance in Othello, according to a new arrangement at this Theatre, in which the respective Performers are allowed scope for libe ral competition.
