They !Tad driven him to his native woods, tirn the question a COe_ Botny ; but. u p on - t h e su bj ect of foreign diplomacy nothing could be done. The Right Hon. Member concluded by sup- Porting the motion. • Mr. C. W. WYNN rose amidst cries of " Question." He uas, he said, surprised to hear it maintained on the opposite side of the dou se that if 'Ministers could no longer keep the confidence of the House, they would be wrong in announcing their intention to, resign. He had always understood it to•be eonstitutional doctrine, that t h e loaf of the confidence Of Parlia ment . might necessarily t o b e f o ll owe d b y a res i gnat i on o f t h e i r places by a n Ministers. With respect to the motion, he should ° l::Pose it y , because he thought it would be establishing the dan- FiLrous precedent of placing a Committee of thit House, like a :;tlunittee of Pahlic Safety, over the Ministry for Foreign if for how wasitpoSsible to come at the points sought for, ,k the motion were carried, without an examination of the Minis- R 1,7? His Learned Friend (Sir J. Macintosh) had asked what the ouge of Commons was for, if not for inquiries of thepresent de scription. Now he would defy his Hon. and-Learned Friend to !rove, in any ena instance, that a Committee had ever exercised 'ach a control over a Ministry-, as this examination would ne ees'tily imply. I t was sa id t h at a Comm i ttee on t h e same s ubject way appointed in 1315, but it should be remembered dint thil; was one appointed on the responsibility of Ministers, aid that it never had, and never was intended to have, the power "2 Inquiring which it was proposed to give to the-one now mov ed fuj• The c.anstant practice of the . Constitution was to place Tesz matters in the discretion of the Ministers, and if that confi `tre! were abused, -the• Ministers were- removed . by"address to t hrone. The Right Hon. Gentleman then went on to con t e ,Fnd against the possibility of attempting, with any hope of an inquiry (even if otherwise unobjectionable) which Wouldnmiarace a detail of the expenses incurred in the several Europe. It would be rather inconvenient, he thought, to bring witnesses from Naples and from Constantinople to slate what were the usual charges of living in those places. Mr. .ANTROBUS said a few words, which, from the loud andrepeated cries of question, were inaudible. Mr. LEN NARD in reply, said ' that the report of 1812 held cp. an expectation of a c on s ide ra ble di m in u tion in the Pension Dist on a return of peace. His motion only went to realise that e biett• He concluded by observing, that as to the subject of the Envoy -of Switzerland, he W-ould suspend his opinion upon that subject until to-morrow, [this day,] when he understood 1,1 was to be justified, as the Noble Lord said, on principles of nioral consideration.—(A laugh.)

We have received the Paris Papers of Mon day, which contain no further intelligence re specting the question of peace or war ; but report states, that Austria is negociating a fresh loan of 18 millions of florins, with the house of Rothschild. The following are extracts :-- " PAnrs, MAY 13.—Deputies Elected.—Department of I'Ornc, M. Thiboust du Puisact, M. d'Orglandes, M. Legoni dec, M. Boucher ; La Meuse, N. Raulin, 111.

The following is an extract wf a letter brought by him, written by a person who is in a situation to become acquainted with events c-- • 4 Madrid, May 7. , 'We have received to-day certain intelligence .of the Com plete' defeat of the factious, who were lately assembled in .Cata lonia and in Biscay. The latter have been entirely dispersed ; the others have experienced the same fate, and there only re mains a weak band who have taken refuge on ,the French ter ritory. The whole of this Army of the Faith found, it is said, mysterious protectors at Bordeaux, Bayonne, and Per pignan, and who doubtless are unknown to the French Go vernment itself.' , . " MADRID, MAY 2.—(Private Correspondence.)—Three or four reginients have passed within these few days through the environs of this capital, marching, it is said, towards the frontiers, to observe the French Sanitary Cordon, which is every day reinforced. " The factious of Murcia have been put completely to the rout. They have presented themselves to the Constitutional Authorities, and have claiMed the benefit of the Amnesty. " M. de Lagarde, the French Ambassador, has' been for some days at' Aranjuez. " There was celebrated to day with great pomp the National Fete decreed by the • Cortes, to perpetuate the recollection of the memorable day of the 2d of May, 1808, which witnessed the awakening of the Spaniards from their long lethargy, and the commencement of the contest in favour of National Inde pendence." " LEIPSIC, MAY 2.—Letters from St. Petersburgh, of the 17th of April, speak of war, but the campaign, it is added, will not be opened till the Emperor has wade a general review of his two grand armies. Thus the month of May may pass away before the commencement of hostilities. It appears to be certain, according to these letters, that the Baron de Stro gonoff will accompany the Emperor. Nothing certain had transpired at St. Petersburgh respecting the state of the nego ciations. " FRANKFORV, MAY 3.—Lettdrs from several commercial houses at Vienna confirm the intelligence of a new Loan, on account of the Austrian Government. This Loan will be for 18,000,000 florins, and M. de Rothschild is named as the ne gociator. It is added that this third Loan, negotiated by the house of Rothichild for Austria, will not be, like the two pre ceding ones, formed by means of a lottery, but that it will in volve a new issue of metallic obligations, at five per cent. in_ serest, in specie. The public debt of Austria, hitherto con verted into metallic,s, is estimated at 1.50,000,000" florins. " Up to the 30th April, there was no further intelligence at Vienna respecting the progress of the negotiations at Constan tinople ; but commercial letters had stated that the Porte had for the third time rejected the Russian Ultimatum. It was, however, asserted that the dispatches from the Internuncio at Pera continued to hold out hopes of the maintenance of pace. " Private letters from Petersburgh, to the 20th April, consi der war as very probable, whilst letters from several bankers of Vienna continue to give contrary assurances. ".NiatEMBERG, MAY 6.—lt is again reported that a Con gress will assemble either at Vienna or Warsaw, and that an Austrian army will provisionally occupy Walachia and Mol davia, to prevent the possibility of hostilities during the sitting of the Congress. Humanity would gain by these too princi palities being placed definitive:) , under the paternal sceptre of Austria; an arrangement that would separate almost entirely the Russian Einpire from that of the Ottomans." W e are among the most strenuons advocates for retrenchment, when it will not interfere with the due support of .an Effective Government, or the proper dignity of the National Cha racter; but we must protest against all piti, ful savings that may lessen the British Em pire in the eyes of foreigners. The appoint ment of Mr. WyNN to the Swiss Cantons has excited all the Virulence, we will not say of a Constitutional Opposition, which we hope will always exist in this country, to watch the conduct of Ministers, and maintain the interest and honour of the State, Lut of a party that seems to be, resolved to thwart the measures of Go vernment,' however wise and expedient. One Journal in particu!ar, that seems to be wholly insensible to truth and shame, because, to the disgrace of the country, it is a favourite with the disaffected, 'who, alas ! are too many in these alarming times, had the hardihood not only to assert that the appointment was a new creation; that the salary is between 5,0001. and 6,0001., when the truth is that it is only 3,9001., but to condemn the appointment altogether as a wicked, profligate job, &c. &c. Now we would ask the discontented faction al together, whether they think that no Ambas sador or Envoy should be sent from this cou'htry to any foreign Court? Do they think that if we were so inattentive to the •operations of fo reign Governments, that they would follow our example, and send no Ministers to observe the motions of our own ? But the Swiss Gt.ernment is placed in such a situation that it is the interest of every State to send some kind of Represen tative to it ; and low minded indeed must those grovelling politicians be who would have the Representative bf the British Empire appear in a manner inferior to those from other countries at any Court. The question is not whether aßepresen tative should be sent from our Court, but whether Mr. WYNN is properly qualified for the situation ; and we believe that no just, liberal, and intelli gent mind will deny his competency to support it with proper dignity, attention, and judgment. Extract of a Letter from Havanizah,. dated March 3.—" We understand the . foltowing ar rangements are going to take place here " Spanish p . roduCtions proceeding directly from a qualified Spanish port, in a national vessel, are to be free from duties of every kind ; those of foreign countries are, without exception, admissible in such ports of Cuba, paying from 20 to 37i per cent. duty in a foreign vessel. The produce of Cuba going in Spanish vessels to other parts of the Monarchy is to pay only the duty of administration ; but if bound to a foreign port per cent. on all duties, and a general freedom from duties is provided in the trade of domestic productions to and from Cuba and these ports. Power is also given to the local authorities of Cuba to approve and fix provisionally the tariff* of duties to be laid by the Intendant, pursuant to this regulation,"upon foreign goods imported." - We learn that, some few days since, an order was received from St. Petersburgh for four hundred thousand muskets for the Russian army, which are now manufacturing in various parts of this country. Accounts from France state, that General SEBASTIANO has refused the command of a large army to form a cordon on the frontiers of Spain. The Duke of CLARENCE visited the KING yes terday at Carlton House. „,... ~, . )..cl; _ i, Vrjjr:?: 9” rt's:4 e!

On land ing the Royal Visitors were received with every possible mark of respect, by the band and company of the 3d Buffs and a party of the 9th Lancers, by whom they were I.:scorted to Wright's Ship Inn, where they alighted, amid the shouts'of the immense numbers who were awaiting their arrival. This morning the Mayor, Deputy Mayor, and Town Clerk, waited on their Royal Highnesses to pay their respects, and were re ceived in a most gracious and condescending manner. Their Royal Highnesses set off about a quarter before eleven, under a salute from the guns of the Citadel and the Custom-house, and escorted by a party of Lancers. The manners of her Royal Highness the Princess appear particularly amiable, and at tracted the attention and admiration of every bystander. [ANOTHER LETTER.] DOVER, MAY 14.—Hay-past Eight o'clock.—The Prince and Princess of DENMARK have just landed from the Prince Regent yacht, ,under a salute from the Heights' battery ; their Royal Highnesses were received by a guard of honour, and were cheered by an immense concourse of people. The even ing being very fine the sight was very imposing, the whole of the vessels in the harbour having numerous flags flying. Eve ry class of people vied with each other in demonstrations of re spect to the Royal Visitors, who seemed highly gratified by the cordiality and kindness of their reception. y . i.) v . 11 43.

EVENING REFLECTIONS IN THE COUNTRY. Here pensive alone, at the close of the day, I wander these fields and these woodland s among, Afar from the city so noisy and gay, Where lately I join'd in the quick passing throng. The shadows of twilight are stealing around, The hills at a distance but faintly are seen ; The hamlet is silent, and scarcely a sound Disturbs the deep stillness that reigns on the green. • Ah surely these shades and this tranquil retreat, For the dwelling of Peace and Content were designed, "Where afar from the din of confusion they meet, , And feed with delight the contemplative mind. But still, for a choice little circle I sigh, Where social enjoyment in each bosom glows, For the woods and the meadows can never supply The pleasures that friendship, blest friendship, bestows. Yet some one might whisper " the days may appear When oft I shall sigh for the rural retreat ; When, harrass'd by sorrow, my heart will hold dear A refuge where Silencea nd Solitude meet."; Ah ! should the dark days of affliction draw nigh, To the gloom of retirement 1 would not repair; ,I•But rather to some little cottag,e I'd fly, If the soft soothing voice of Affection be there. Yet, think not the beguties of Nature impart, No transport of pleasure, no tranquil delight; Oh ! yes, they have charms that are dear to my heart, When Friendship and Solitude sweetly unite. But, hush for a moment--far distant 1 hear, In the midst of the woodlands, a nightingale's song : Another, with tuneful responses, more near, Melodiously Warbles these wild woods among. 0 ! such be my fortune, ye charmers of night ! Far away from the city, like you, to retire : Like you, with a friend, to partake the delight That contentment and rural enjoyment inspire. GIG MATCH. Mr. AMBROSE'S match to drive 15 miles in one hour, at a trot, took place yesterday, over a piece of turf of three miles, on the Epping road.

The horse broke into a s turned. ' The most distressing intelligence has been re ceived from India relative to the destructive pro gress of the cholera morbus. The following are extracts of letters upon this melancholy subject":— EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM CALCUTTA, DATED NOV. 2. " We are sorry to state that the ravages of the cholera at Bussorah, have lately been most dreadful. Of the principal merchants of the place, not one remains alive, all having fallen victims to the prevailing scourge." Previously to the above date advices had been received, stat ing that the victims of the disorder amounted on ari average to 150 per day ; and the inhabitants, terrified at the seventy of the visiting scourge, were flying from the place in every di rection. By recent advices from the Persian Gulf, we learn that the epidemic cholera had found its way to the Arabian coast, and was doing incredible mischief. In the province of Omman, it had carried off 40,000 people, and in the city of Muscat and its neighbouring villages, no less than ten thousand persons had fallen victims to it in the short space of ten days. It was ru moured to have been introduced by a vessel landing her sick, and thus infecting the place. ADELPIII THEATRE.—To the honour of Mr. ALEXANDRE, the celebrated Ventriloquist, and the Proprietor of this Theatre, the profits of the entertainments of last night are wholly to be ap propriated for the relief of our suffering fellow subjects in Ireland. But this is not all ;—the Proprietor of the Theatre makes no deduction for the ordinary expenses of the house on this meritorious occasion. This truly laudable example we have little doubt will be followed by other Theatres, as the situation of Ireland calls for every aid of public and private benevolence; and the result we have no doubt will be effectual re. lief, and the noble triumph of British humanity. We have the pleasure to add, that Mr. Bun- ROUGHS, Proprietor of the Surrey Theatre ; has announced his intention to open it to-morrow night, for the same benevolent purpose. The late Bishop of MEATH, whose family name was O'BIERNE, possessed learning and talents, and was formerly conspicuous among the parti zans of Mr. Fox, on whose principles he wrote several political pamphlets, and produced a comedy which was represented at Drury Lane Theatre, through the influence of the late Duchess of Devonshire, DRURY-LA NE THEATRE. TIIE KING'S VISIT. It was not till a late hour on Monday night that Mr. ELLISTON was apprised of the K uses intention to honour Drury-lane Theatre with his presence, since which time he (assisted' by Mr. Winston, the assistant manager) has been inde fatigable in his exertions to pay every due and marked attention in his preparations for the're ception of the Sovereign. No expense or exer tion had been spared. On Tuesday a temporary awning was erected at the door at which his Majesty enters in Russel-street, and yesterday a large Crown was placed over it, which was brilliantly illuminated in the evening. A large transparent bust of his Majesty was placed be fore the statue of Shakspeare, over the box en trance in Brydges-street. On each side of the bust were " G. R." in large letters, profusely illuminated with variegated lamps. Sir Richard Birnie, as Chief Magistrate of the Police, ex erted himself in the course of yesterday to guard against any impediment or cause of confusion in the streets through which his Majesty and the Royal cavalcade were to pass.— The extra decorations of the King's box and the room adjoining it, called the King's room, were very costly and magnificent. The 'King's box was lined with white silk fluted, with crimson velvet border, decorated with yellow cord. At the back were two Grecian lamps on tripod pillars. In the centre of the King's room was hung a large and splendid or-molu chandelier. It contains twelve large burners ; between every alternate burner was a griffin's head. There were also eight richly chased candlesticks, to gether with six richly gilt urns, containing arti ficial flowers, on a table in the centre of the room, which was further lighted by a number of Grecian lamps. On the left side of the fire place was a large bust of his Majesty, by Tur nerelli. On the mantle-piece was a wax bust of the King, in a I gilt frame. Opposite to the handsome chimney-glass was a pier-glass, nearly the height of the room. The lobby was lined with scarlet cloth; a very handsome carpet was placed from the hall to the King's coach.-- Public interest was excited so much that the doors were blockaded between four and five o'clock, which induced Mr. Elliston very judi ciously to give directions for opening them ton minutes before the usual time. Soon after six o'clock a Guard of Honour, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Townsend, marched to the Theatre.—A party of the Yeoman Guard lined the entrance to the Theatre. 'Mr. Elliston and Mr. Winston were in attendance in full Court dresses. -At ten minutes before seven the Duke of York arrived at the Theatre in a Field Mar shal's uniform, wearing the Order of St. George, and was received with military honours.—His Majesty left his Palace in Pall-mall with his suite in five carriages, at a quarter before seven o'clock, escorted by a party of the Royal Horse Guards, proceeded through Cockspur-street, the Strand, Bedford-street, and Tavistock-row, to the entrance by Russell-street, amidst the huzzas of the public assembled in the streets, and the windows of the houses filled with re spectable persons, the females waving white handkerchiefs.—The Duke of Dorset, as Master of the Horse, and Lord Graves, as the Lord in Waiting, rode in the carriage with the The other attendants were the Lord Steward, the Vice-Chamberlain (the Lord Chamberlain being confined with an attack of the gout), the Comptroller of the Household, the Treasurer of the Household, Sir Robert Bolton, Equerry in waiting; Earl Cathcart, Gold Stick in waiting ; Mr. Mash, Mr. Ramsden, and Mr. 13eresford, Gentlemen Ushers in waiting; Lord E. Poulett, Page of Honour ; the Exon in waiting, &c.—His Majesty arrived exactly three minutes before seven o'clock, and was ushered in by the Vice-Chain berlain, Mr. Elliston,. and Mr. Winston, with wax candles, in the above-described splendid candlesticks.—lmmediately when the King ap proached the front of the royal box, the audience (a large portion of which was composed of youth, beauty, and fashion) rose simultaneously, and greeted his Majesty with the liveliest demonstra tions of respect and attachment, waving of hats, handkerchiefs, &c., in return to, which his Ma jesty bowed with the utmost condescension and affability. The curtain being drawn up, .disco vered the whole corps dramatique in array on the stage, when God save the King was sung its admirable style, the audience joining in the chorus. The curtain then fell, as if for the corn mencement of the Opera, but a tumultuous encore induced a repetition of the national an them. After having again saluted their Illus trious Sovereign with repeated cheers, the audi ence became tranquil, and allowed the opera tions of The Siege of Belgrade to commence. The performers never exerted themselves with greater success. His Majesty frequently applaud ed, and seemed peculiarly delighted with the pow erful and thrilling tones which Mr.Braham panned forth to the delight of an enraptured audience. The duet " When thy bosom heaves the sigh," by Madame Vestris and Mr. Braham, was loudly encored. On the conclusion of the Opera f' God save the King " was again sung, and its repeti tion being loudly called fol., the vocal per formers came forward and substituted ". Rule Britannia," which was sung amidst loud applause. The farce of Monsieur Tonson was performed. with great spirit, which being concluded, there was a loud cry of " The King ! the King!" . and " God save the King" was sung a third time, the intervals of the stanzas being filled up with the most enthusiastic cheers from all parts of the house. His Majesty having again bowed most graciously to the audience, lft the Theatre amidst the same gratifying expressions of re spect which marked his entrance.—His Ma jesty appeared in excellent health and spirits, and frequently entered into conversation with his Royal Highness the Duke of York, who sat upon his left,—llis Grace the Duke of Wellington, who sat in a private box opposite the King's, was re ceived with a good deal of applause. .The house, which was full to the ceiling, presented a most brilliant display of elegant and fashionable visitors. ai if ) [lon.
