N WindsQr Castle, Feb, 2Z, !Bt°. " 111:1 goes on salisfs&oril,.." (Signed a usual). Mr. PERCEVAL announced to the House of Com mons last night, that the PRINCE OF WA Las had de clined the proposed addition , to . bis establishment as Regent. In commonicating this infortoltlOn'to the House, Mr. PERCEVAL baid, that the condual of his ROYAL, HIGHNESS upon thtS occasion afforded an in %lifiCe of self.denial and economy, which throws around his' ROYAL HIGHNESS more real splendour titan any additional vote of money :for the put pose of state grandcurcould bestow. The reports of the increasing conloess between France and Russia continue •to arrive from almost every part of the North with winch we have any intercourse ; many of the Letteis confidently re did a war in a very short time. In the present re« striaed state of communication on the Continent, it is difikult to apprectoe the degiee of ciedit that is due to these repilts, but from every intbrmation which has reached us, we ale inclined to believe that the monst.rons connexion between Cranee and Russia is on the point of being unisolvthl. The lowing is an extraa of a Letter upon this subject from Sweden, dated Stockholm, Febitury 2 : " Very contradittory accounts are received daily in this 'place as to certain waft fte ruu►cineitis on the p.m at itt'issia. From the best conclusion I can draw on the whole repiesent,nion, I do think there is sonic reason to bdieve that RUSiil will go to war with France. Ido “ut think that any tormal decla ration mill be rwide by her until the spring, and any aas of hostility previous to that period will ptubanly be provoked by the intasures uf France. CAULIN- Cooler is, without' doubt, in disgrace at Peters burgh, bout with the Enipaur and his Cabinet, and it is rorted that Le is to wititdra,V, and that two reported ther is to be appointed in his place; and I am of opminn that if he leaves the Ittlssian capital, no other Minister will succeed him." This morning we received Dublin papers to the 17111 inst. They cont3in an act:omit' of the further proceedings of the Special Commission at Cloumel. Several of the prisoners ha . ve been found guilty of most atrocious outrages, and have received sentence of Death. .1 The Catholic Committee was to meet again last Saturday, notwithstanding the declaration of Lord FRENCH, one of their Members, that the objeal fur whidti they were assembled, viz, that of prepar ing.the Petition, had been elleted. It is impossi ble, after the knowledge of thii tact, and the pe rusal of the Circular Letter calling for .Derogates from tho different counties, to doubt that their in. tention was to agiemble a peril anent Convention or Parliament in Dublin, and the Irish Gobeinment are not ('tits justified, but entitled to the I , ighest praise for their promplicutls, in preventing a measure so pregnant with danger to the State. The Irish Newspapers take no notice of the.Con ventionAct, !lie clamours against which ale almoit wholly confined to the Opposition writers 01 tiny country. LORD WELLINGTON.---Afier the memorable m ine of the Douro, General BERESPOhtD sent an Aidocle.Camp 10 Lord WELLINGTON, and the Offi cer found his Lordship upon a mattress in a room which had been the bed•chamber of Mars;tal SOULT. The room was hung with velvet, and orna nteeted in the . Most magnificent style, and there was a sumptuous bed in it. adorned with feathers, and every article of luxurious ease, As soon as the Officer, who was ell known to his Lordship, had received the answer, he could not help testifying son* surprise that his Lordship could be. content to rest on a mattress while them, was so fine a bed it/ the same loom. The gallant Hero said in answer, " 1 certainly bliVOlLl,have been as, ready to repose in that bed as &iota was, but in that case you would probably not have had an answer to the message which you brouht for this half 'hour." We are happy to State that the feats entertained fur satiety of the three cartels are tinfOunded. They ail reached Morlaix after having bean forced to lie to for 44 hours during the heavy gala under bare pules.
