The eighth anniversary of his Majesty's re entry into his capital was yesterday celebrated.— his Majesty received, successively, the con gratulations of the-Princes and Princesses of the Royal Family, the Princes and Princesses of the Blood, the }'since and Princess of Denmark, the Prince of Wurtemherg, the Officers of his Ma jesty's Household, and of those of the Princes. the Ministers, the Prefect of the Seine, the Mayer and Adjuncts of Paris, the Courts of Cassation, the Cour Royale, the Tribunals, the Marshals, Commandants, Officers of the Na tional and Royal Guards; of all the corps of the garrison of Paris, the Institute, and the Ambas sadors. The Kim!, went out through Paris, at half-past two, in a caleche. ,All the posts at the Thuil leries were relieved at ten in the morning by the National Guards. In the evening there was an Letters from Bordeaux, of the 30th April, say, We are informed that seals were placed yes terday, at Libourne, on 47 chests seized, con taining arms.' We had no direct news yesterday from Ger many; . nor have we received a single letter from 9ur correspondents at Strasburg, Frankfort, Augsburg, or Vienna. They .have never before let two days pass without writing to us, and we are obliged to conclude' that it is' probable the letters are opened before reaching France. The Frankfort Journal has not failed tas . ; - but the cus 7 -torfiary and faithful echo of the Austrian Ob server, it maintains an absolute silence respecting the affairs of the East.—(Constitittionnc/.) DansnEs, Aparr, 20.—A marriage is talked of between Prince John and , a Princess of a Germa n House, which has' been for a long time allied with our reigning House (probably Austria.) STUTGARD, ANUS. 25.--Letters received direct f rom. the Morea by Trieste confirm the intelli gence of the arrival of General Normann.• The -reeks have appointed him Commander of Navariti. ALEXANDRIA, Maacti 20.--The Turkish fleet lz'rived here last Friday, after having landed troops at Modon and Patras. The greater part 42 f the ships sailed into the old harbour, soon after which a.violent .storm arose; the larger vessels an chored in the new harbour; but scarcely had the whole fleet entered, when the fury of the storm in creased, and did .great damage. A Barbary cor vette stranded on the sand banks ; another ship of Tripoli had the same fate, at the entrance of the tiew canal of Machornondi. The storm broke th e cables of the Admiral's ship, the Viceroy, and drove it, with another Barbary ship. against th e walls of the fort, where' it was dashed to pieces. A frigate, belonging to the Sultan; sunk near Rosetta, and it is feared that others of the fleet, which had not come in, may have expe rienced the same fate. 1)" I the in of and to sit vith. u ntil the 'An , and 0114 C song to lacy'? !arr.- ,'the the 1 , by ether fifth An thc King ]rest Cing . ivel! dan ie the gd°' 'used - , ) rlo new• y be VIENNA, APRIL 9.0.—F0r sometime past it has : nem' L io rdi „ been o b serv ed th a t th e F re nch A m b a s sa do r , the •Par - ' - Alarquis.of Caraman, has very- frequent cOnfer fror" ences with Prince Metternich, and with Baron ~,r all dill., .Sturmer, who is Director of the Chancery of e arl‘4 Voreign Affairs ; it is even reported that some `sai g: d - notes have passed between them.

At:cult:llG, APRIL 28.—(Extract of a private "-etter.)—The negociations at Constantinople ntive not advanced a step. Neither the Austrian l uternuncio nor the English Minister have been able to obtain an interview with the Iteis-Effendi. 'Ole Porte admits only of verbal communications between the respective Dragomans, which are not likely to lead to any result. A numerous body o f troops has been sent from Constantinople, to r einforce the army opposed to the Persians. This war is becoming more serious. . The Pacha of Salonica has arrested many 'lidividuals of that town, among whom is the Swedish Consul. °I)ESSA, APRIL B.—According to various ac counts the Isle of Scio, one of the richest in th e Archipelago, and which has hitherto been re garded as favourable to the Turks, revolted on the 22d March, and hoisted the standard of the CrQFs. c tte ieo r ;ab-: olyr.

On WednesZay week, about three o'clock in the afternoon, violent storm came on, accompanied by a heavy fall of thing' all the appearance of a violent thunder-storm.— t Lydiate, about nine miles from Liverpool, two servant -I_l,erl were ploughing_ with a team belonging to Nlr. Ilaskain, th e that ownship. During the height of the storm, and when t• le 'nen were in, the act of raising the leather flaps attached 0 the collars fthe with their arms elevated, the .ng o struck both the horses, which were killed instanta- Le:usly, and both the young men were knocked down at the same moment. As soon as their situation was perceived, several per t° s came to their assistance and found them and the horses l9 s trate on th e ground, a man under each dead horse. The ti a ter of th e two being first extricated, was found to be greatly rr ned, but not otherwise injured than by having the hair, side of his body, completely burnt on; as clean as ti ;_Tb e he hashad been shaven: The youth was so much terrified, r`gin not by recovered from the shock which his nerves gun, 14Y this awful explosion. The people state, that the 4 , c of the field seemed to be saturated with a strong .;tlll?ntt.reous smell, which continued for some time after the In had abated. The Paris Papers of Saturday, from which we give extracts• in a preceding column, do not con tain any fresh intelligence on the' state of the negociations respecting the question of peace or war ; but the preparations for war continue un abated on the part of the powers likely to be involved in the contest, in case hostilities cannot be prevented. An article from Odessa states that the island of Scio, in the Archipelago, which has hitherto been regarded as favourable to the Turks, has shaken off the Ottoman yoke, and hoisted the standard of the Cross. Letters from Smyrna, dated the 4th April, and from Trieste of the c27th, bare been received in this country, and confirm the report. The Greeks had taken a severe revenge for their wrongs, and gat pos session of the town ; the castle, however, still remained in the hands of the Turks. We regret to state that incendiaries are still actively at work in the vicinity of Paris. The departments of the Oise, the Seine and Oise, and the Eure and Loire, continue to be the theatre of these nightly conflagrations. FRENCH FUNDS. May 2, Five per Cents. Opened' at B7 f. c.

The Bremen Journal of the 30th of April gives a Letter from St. Pefersburgh, dated the 26th of March, which contains much valuable , informa tion respecting the condition and views of Russia as regards the question with Turkey. The fol lowing are the most important points of this letter : " The belief in war (says the writer) has become so universal here that no one entertains any doubt on the subject; but with this belief is associated the universal conviction that we shall fight because we are obliged to fight Russia has taken eery step to preserve peace, and acting only with this view, it has accepted every mediation of the Great Powers, which, from her power she might have dispensed with. But the immense expence which a great army requires in time of peace begins now to be essentially felt by us. We bear thereby all the burdens of war without enjoying the slightest of the 'advan tages which war brings with it—Such a condition °becomes at length insupportable, and we are come to that pass. Had it not been for the personal sentiments of ALEXANDER, the cord would long ago have snapt by which the bow was kept at the stretch. To the sacred wish of preventing the shedding of streams of blood of guilty and innocent victims, many of our provinces have to ascribe the painful situation in which they now are. . . . . . The war footing on which it WAS necessary to place our army required immense sums. The procuring of horses, the purchasing, &c. carriages, and the whole materiel in the North of the Empire would have been a folly—The purchase of every thing therefore took place in the South of the Lmpire— But it became necessary to procure the ready money in the North, and particularly in the capital—Hence the diminution of ready money . here as well as in the other trading towns of the Baltic which begins to be very prejudicial to our ex change, andi has already been productive of several considerable bankruptcies. Livonia, Courland, Esthonia, and the Ukraine, used to be the granaries of Russia and of a considerable part of the rest of the world. The towns of Riga, Leibau and Revel drew immense sums for corn into the country and cir culated them in the interior. By one of those singular cir cumstances that influence so much the political welfare of States, the last harvest was not only inadequate for the usual sale, but it was necessary to make considerable purchases for the supply of the capital.in other countries, particularly in Danzig and Elbingen. Unfortunately this last winter, which has almost deprived us of the most essential necessity of the north, the blessed snow, piomises no better harvest for the coming year, and we already see frequent corn speculations be ginning in a sense opposite to those of former times, that is, for considerable importation instead of exportation. . . . All these circumstances fill the whole nation with the most fervent desirelhat the war should begin as soon as possible. Never doubting of victory for a moment, the Russian looks forward to the passing of the army over the Pruth as the means of being liberated from the necessity of supporting ,himself such enor mous masses of troops at such enormous expence. lie is con vinced that the uncommonly high price of grain will quickly fall when the enormous deliveries are no longer necessary which our numerous divisions require Our Cabinet has perhaps shewn too great moderation, and dedicated the means uselessly to an expensive state of peace, which must now be exchanged for a state of war. But be not alarmed for the issue. We want nothing to make the Osmans repent the mad intoxication into which their blindness has precipitated them. Our armies must be the first in the world, when we take alone this highly important circumstance into consideration, that they have already, by the uniform confession of all the Chiefs, been more than eight months trained for la grande guerre, and their manoeuvres are without end. Besides, they are in want of no thing ; they are provided with every thing that an army can possibly want, and the numbers of all the battalions and squa drons are full,—a circumstance not always observed in the Russian armies. Add to this the hatred, nay, the actual fury, which is not to be described, with which the very name of ,the OsarANs is heard by the soldier, and the desire with which he burns to give vent to this rage by deeds ; add also the feeling which animates the nation of the justice . of their caasc, and the necessity for their entering on this war; and forget not that the almost deified A LEXJ/NDER has promised to be present with the army when the first cannon-shot is fired. . . . . . . • . The longing with which the return of M. de TA TITSCIIEF is expected here is not to be described. The camp equipage of our Grand Princes have been sent off to Minsk, as theyintend to march with the-Guards..: The Esternort him , self takes almost no equipage with from home ; it is placed in readiness for him with the riYiy. . The last Num bers of ride 111 - ornngChrtniicle which reached us do no: hesi tate 'to say that the marriage of his,Majesty the King:of GREAT BRITAIN with a Danish Princess, which has lately been the subject of conversation, reduces itself rnerely to_a projected mar riage of England with Me Danish Saw:d, and this dcc•laration, prodeces a great sensation' • beT-e. We can hardly believe that England can entertain: other than friendly sentiments towards Russia ; for the interest of these-States is so intimately. con, nected with each other.,--Ought a marriage of f.tssia with the Dardanelles to be actually dreaded on the banks of the Thani es ?" We have reason to believe that the Emperor AEEXANbEit has made every concession, consis tent with the dignity of his Throne and the rights of humanity as respects the.:Greeks, to avoid a war with Turkey, and we know frorn .good au thority that the moderate and pacific conduct of • the. Cabinet of St. Petersburgh has j3Oe . P . opposed to the general feeling of the Ruisian Nobles, people,' and army. Russia, it is said, has eight hundred thotLand men under arms, and ex perience has shewn that a. Prince - who has eight hundred thousand soldiers .cannot suffer such an army to remain. long inactive, and may find himself compelled, to go to'war, even when he is most desirous of continuing at peace. Letters have been rpceived.frorn Bayonne, of the 27th of April, which contain the following intelligence : ‘‘ In Biscay, in the environs of Gutrnica and Durango,from 60 to 0 youths have risen against the Government. Their chief is not known. Yesterday, detachments of troops from Vittoria and Bilboa went is purSuit Of them.' ThiS enterprize directed by our Emigrants will have no better success than the preceding, and the arms of every kind, as well as cartridges, sent from France,•by the care of Queiada and D'Abreu, may fall into Constitutional hands. We know all the intrigues of these gentlemen, but their attempts to bring foreign troops among us will be fruitless. We learn that strict orders have been given along the whole of the frontier line to prohibit the entrance into France of all Spanish . Journals. This measur e has been rigorously executed within these two last days." THE CITY.—The different Parties went up to Ministers this morning to bid for the Army and Navy Pensions : they returned about a quarter past one o'clock, and they are to go up again on Friday for a further explanation, and on Tues day for the bidding. Government requires a deposit of five hundred thousand pounds as a se curity, on the payment of the two millions two hundred thousand. On the publication of the Report of the Agri cultural Conuirittee we stated (See our Paper of April 3,) that we inserted it with a feeling of sincere regret, that it presented no effectual and permanent plan of relief for the existing agricul tural distress ;" and, after 'some.-,reasoning upon its merits, stated our conviction that, "upon the whole, the Report of the Committee, with re— gard to the existing distress, was an abortion."— The event has justified the view which we took of this important document,—the Re solution founded upon it, and proposed by Lord LONDONDERRY, viz. that one million should be advanced upon British corn 'depo sited in warehouses, having been last night with drawn by the Noble Marquis, after it had Under gone an animated discussion in the Committee.— The Agriculturists are thus left to seek a remedy for their distresses through some other course. The Government is placed, with respect to them, in a dilemma from which they cannot easily be extricated. Upon the ordinary principles which are thought to have hitherto" regulated" supply and demand, the farmers cannot be benefited but by a rise of price,—or a diminution of rents, tythes, poor's rates, taxes, and wages. If the price be raised, the mass of population, must be immediately injured, and the farmers themselves eventually, in consequence of the diminished consumption which must result from high prices. If the cost of production be lowered, the land owners must be injured by a diminution of their income,—the Clergy by a deterioration of their living;,—the public creditor by a decrease of his annuity,—or the labouring classes by the deprivation of the little comforts which they at present enjoy.--A remedy, therefore, on the old .principles of the political, economists, cannot be found. Some new combination of circumstances, calculated to effect the desired relief, must be devised, and brought into practical operation, or the remedy must. arise from diminished produc -11011, by the abandonment of the inferior soils, which will, in other words, be a diminution of the gross amount of annual wealth produced by the country, and the ultimate attainment of high prices through the mediUm of partial scarcity, and the ruin of great numbers of Land-ow-hers and Agriculturists. MR. CANNING'S MOTION. - Considering this motion as being pregnant with ruin to our pre sent happy Establishment in Church and State, it is a duty to those who support THE CONSTI TUTION to let their names be known to the People at large. We therefore deem it proper to state, that Mr. SCOURFIELD, M. P. for Haverfordwest, was among the Minority who voted against this alarming motion. Our only consolation and hope arise from the view which will be taken of the measure by the House . of Lords, as we conceive that the Hereditary Counsellors of the Nation Will consider themselves as more substantially allied to the Constitution than the temporary Members of the House of Commons, which though an essential branch of the Legislative ,Power, is a fluctuating body, the Members of which must in general be supposed to be more, regardful -of their own immediate inte rests than of the great permanent interests of our political system. The venerable Lotto CHAN CELLOR, we are persuaded, will firmly and reso lutely come forward when the question is brought: into the Upper House, and we may say on the best authority that he would readily die in de fence of the Constitution in Church and State; and we trust that a vast body in the house of Lords will enlist thems e lv e s in support of the Pro testant ascendancy, and defeat the destructive aims of Popish acrabition.—We have had many letters on- thiS, subject, complaining that the Protestant 'Clergy are not sufficiently active on a question of this' vital importance, but we have the ,pleasure . to assure our Readers that many of . our Correspondents belong to the Ecclesiastical - order, and .some are Dignitaries of the Church, whose names are only known to our selves, and so shall. always remain. We have every reason to believe that. upon any. trying oc casion they-will.prove themselves intrepid Cham pions. forthe•ProtestantCause‘, as essential to the preservation of political freedom, as well as of our national 'faith. • There is no intelligence of much consequence from lieland. A few outrages,. not remarkable for atrocity, are detailed ; and the peasantry continue to 'make a partial surrender of arms. IRISH DISTRESS.—We record with pleasure that the Marquess of HERTFORD has liberally contributed 3091. - to the relief of the distressed People of Ireland, and we cannot but deeply la ment the ifhpolicy which has limited the sub. scriptions to ten pounds each person.—" The widow's mite" must be as acceptable to the Supreme Being as the amplest dona s tions of the wealthy, and no one ought to be ashamed of the hurnbiPst contributions in so laudable a cause.— What then can be more absurtl than to restrict and confine the feelings of those, which other wise might be exercised in the most expansive benevolence ? Yesterday the Earl of LIVERPOOL had an au dience of the K a ING. PrkCe LEOPOLD has been detained much longer abroad than he intended, by his attentions to his mother during a severe illness. His Royal Highness was, when at Naples, much indisposed and confined to his room for several days. The PRINCE is now on his way back to England. The Governor of Dover has received directions to make the necessary preparations for the re ception of the ParNcc and PaiscEss of DENMARK. The age of the PRINCESS is, we understand, eight and twenty. The illustrious visitors are expected to reach the. British shores in the course of the present week. ; . • Yesterday eyening D..e.an and Chapter of St. PAUL'S, with the.Archhishop of CANTERBURY, Lord CHANCELLOR, Lord LIVERPOOL, Lord SID MOUTH, Marquis LANSDOWNE, the Bishop of LONDON, Sir CHARLES LONG, Mr. VANSITTART, Marchioness LAranowNr, Miss VANSITTART, and several ether ladies of distinction, visited the Ca-. thedral .of St. PAUL, on the ,occasion of its being first lighted with gas. The decided prefer ence of this mode of lighting presented on this occason, particularly on. the handsome improve ments and embellishments which have been made, a scene which for brilliancy and grandeur has not been surpassed ; and the approbation and sa tisfaction manifested was such as to reflect the highest credit on C. It. COCKERELL, Esq. the Surveyor, and Mr. LINGARD, the Deputy Sur veyof, who, -with the Officers of the City of London Gas Light and Coke Company (from whose Establishment it was supplied), were in attendance. Mr. F. BeXTON stated last night in the House of Commons that the brewers of the metropolis have reduced the price of porter one halfpenny a pot. ROYAL AC AD EMY.—The annual Exhibition at Somerset-House was yesterday opened to the public. We have the pleasure to state that the works in general, and in every department of the Fine Arts, .are highly honourable to the genius of our countrymen, demonstrating Consi derable improvement. The Pictures of Sir Titomas LAWRENCE would have done honour to any epocha of Painting. Sir WiLmAist BEECHEY, PHILLIPS, Sacs;, RAtunux, and other dis tinguished Artists, appear to great advantage.— TIJ RN Elt, CALCOTT, CONSTABLE, COLLINS and LINNEL , display great. skill and science in the landscape province. W ESTALL has sent a beau tiful picture of CuPid . and Psyche, which shews that his genius is in full vigour. The Sculpture department is well supported by FLAXHAN; CHANTREY, WESTMACOTT, KENDRICK, BEHNES, &c. There are some admirable Drawings by Mr. SOANE, one representing different as pects of THE BANK, and others of his own beautiful mansion, ,in various views of the interior, comprehending his rare and unrivalled Antiques, Paintings, &c. &c. Lady LONG has adorned the Exhibition with two beautiful views in France, one in oil and the other in water colours. We hope to be able to enter more at large on the.respective merits of the' Rooms, and we may fairly repeat that •the whole is highly honourable to - the talents of the Country. We are desired by Madame CATALAN' to state, that in -consequence of a severe hoarseness, it will be impossible for her to appear before the public to-morrow evening : she is therefore under the necessity of postponing her third Concert until Wednesday the 15th instant. The Nobility and Gentry who have taken Tickets or Boxes, to whom it may be inconvenient to wait till that day, are respectfully informed that they may have their money returned upon application where they were purchased, on Or before Satur day next.

The Serpentine-walk, commencing with the Conservatory, is corn. pletely covered in, and adorned with creeping-plants, 'shrubs, and flowers, so as totally to exclude from the prying eye of cu-) riosity those who may wish to enjoy the privilege of seclusion. Mug c.—The Marchioness of SALISBURY opened her whole range of rooms last night, in Arlington street, for the Farewel Concert of AMBROGETTI, whose engagement at the Opera House, it seems, expired last month, and has not been renewed. There has never been a Buffo in this Country who has been more popular in the higher circles, or who has equally endeared himself in private life. In truth, the characters of good-humour which he generally sustained upon the Stage were types of his own genuine nature. But he was also a serious performer of great merit, and in a cha racter representing madness his performanee was, most terrifically faithful. This is no more than a just tribute to his professional and personal .worth. It was therefore a very laudable act of the Mar chioness of SALISBURY to pay so meritorious all individual the compliment of opening her elegant mansion on the occasion. The rooms were crowded with the higher order of visitors, and a ' most respectable audience altogether, insomuch that many were obliged to remain on the stairs, on account of the warmth of the rooms.— We have no room for detail, and therefore can merely add that the concert was well selected, and was supported by the following performers : AMBROGETTI, CAMPORESE, DE BEGNIS, and, his beautiful and accomplished wife,'ConioNT,Yl.7c- CHEW, PLAC . CI, TORRI, and Mrs. SALMON, now our first of English singers, and who need not fear a competition with any from abroad. Re freshments were abundantly provided, 'and the company were gratified by the attentive courtesy of the noble hostess, as wellas by the various excel lencies of the admirable musical entertainment. , .....1 „ .. --4,••• .._.,...„ . , o.p .-:;..„ i, ,„7.,'..

THR LAWYER AND THE CHIMNEY-SWEEPER- A Roguish old Lawyer was planning new sin, As he lay on his bed in -a fit of the gout, • - The mails and the day-light were just coming in, The milkmaids and rushlights were just going out : When a Chimney-sweep's bOy, - who had made a mistake. Came flop down the flue with a cluttering rush, And bawl'd, as he gave his black muzzle a shake, "My master's a coming to give you a brush." . " If that be the case," said the cunning old elf, " There's no moment to lose—it is high time to flee ; Ere he gives me a brush, I will brush oft myself, If I wait for the Devil, the Devil take me !". So he limp'd to the door without saying his prayer's But Old Nick was too deep to be nick'd of his prey, For the knave broke his neck by a tumble down stairs', And thus ran to the Devil by running away.
