There is reason to believe-that the differences. 567 sisting between the DEY OCALGIEits and Mr. CAT- WRIGHT, the British COnsulth'ere, have -been ad justed, for it Is •stated, in Letters fipm dated the 2d :of April, that Mr. CARTWRIGHT had embarked on board the Porapk, Sir SIDNEY, 5~11T13,, for the purpose of being conveyed bat* to Algiers. The expulsion of, Mr. CAturwRIGHT from Al giers was obviously the result of French 'intrigue; but with , the assistance of so able a .Negotiator as . Sii SIDNEY SMITH, there can be no doubt but that the DEY will very soon besonvincedsl his_ error... THE Trial of Lord Viscount - INIELvILLE proceeded thi's morning at, the usual hour. The whole of the 'morning was occupied in .the Examination of Mr, EDGAR. The Court was crowded.

GovernOr of Madras 7 000 t'esterday a Court of Conimdn Couneil was held it Guildhall, at which the LORD MAYOR, several Aldermen, the Recorder, Sheriffs, and a great num- • ber of Commoners were present. The proceedings of the last Court were read and confirmed. The Court adopted the Model, No. 1, for a Monument to be ereae:d in Guildhall, to the memory of thelate ',Ord Viscount Ner.sorr; , and referred. it to the Com mittee to give dire&ions for carrying the same into execution. The ThE ,. ,n%s of the Court were unani mously.voted to the Lord Mayor's Chaplain, .for his Seinion On the firg Sunday in Term, and he was re- ! quested to print the same. . . We are muchsoncerned to heai, that that aCtive and intelligent Magistrate,' Sir RICHARD FORD, died this morning at his house in Sloane Street. The Property Tax Bill;las amended upon re-com mitment in , the House of Commons; has been ,printed, and.was yesterday delivered-to, the Merit- - bers. We lately gave a complete Abstraa, of the Bill; as it then stood, and now subjoin all the Amendments of any consequence which have been made in it. - The Governors and Dire&ors of the .Ban, the bireaors of the EaSt India and South 'Sea Com panies, are -appointed Commissioners for charging the Duty on all Annuities, &c. payable out of the Revenue of England, Ireland, and, - .all, Foreign States, entrusted to the said Companies, for pay- InOot to any persons, CorporationS, &c. ; and shall retain the Duty on the same from . the Proprietor of the Annuities, &c. and pay it into' the Bank. Other Persons entrusted with the payment 9( -Irish or'Fb keietn Annuities, are to doliver the amounts thereof, Ixethin one month' aftera notice' in The London Ga zette, to the Comrnissioners for the Affairs - of Taxes at Sornerset•honse. . Where the income of any 'perSOn shall arise a.vbolly from labour, at daily, Or weekly wages, and the arnount of the Wages shall not have . e*ceeded; in ' Tiny one week in the preceding year, or in any sub Sequent week previous to the assessment, the sum of 'thirty shillings, nor in any one -day during that pe , . riod, the sum of five shillings, and the saute shall be proved, by -affidavit, on the oath of the party, and by the Certificate of the, persons by whom such wages haYe been paid ; and in case it shall appear, that such party shall not be in the receipt of any stitt~of money arising from any other source,' tbe Commissioners may 'adjudge the income so arising as not amounting ti . ) ril. and grant an exemption from- the Duty - accordingly. The Aatements are not altered, cense:me:l4r , none are allowed for s children.. A tp.W of abatement is' made for all incomes betwe , :':: 501:and 1 501. at which last men tioned sum the - fall tax. of 10,per cent. commences. • According to the new scale a dedu6tion of Is. is to be allowed for every pound between the amount of the income and the sum of 501.; thus, upon an income of 601. aLyear qos. or 41. t Os. is to be al lowed,' which, deduded from 61. leaYeS the Duty Payable 'on an intotne of 60. a-yeaf . 11. 10s. ; upon an income of 701. 80s. is to be allowed. 'which re duces the Duty to A. and so in gradation up to 1 591. This is much More favourable to small in comes than the on scale, by 'which the full Tax commenced so low as t 001. a,year ; and: incomes of 601. and 701. Would have had to pay • 21. and .4L "respeaively - , instead of 11. fos. and 31. as we have stated. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM YORK, Arm 30. " This day a long depending match against time was,-decided between Mr. HARRISON and mr. RAY. four hundred guineas to one hundred that Mr. H. did not drive one of his horses; with himself and anotherperSon, in a chaise, from London to York, in 48 successive hours. • This he performed with apparent ease in 46 hours - and 50 minutes j having started from London at •six o'clock on Monday morning, and arrived at, York ten minutes before -#l;e- on Wednesday.

This hdStile de= monstration, to which the•occupation of Cataro by the Russians has given occasion, was expeEted. In the mean time the FrenchGerieralshave again declared, that they 'will' leave 'Brannaur as soon as the Russian Troops shall hase acuated Dalmatia. The Court of Vienna, in consequence, yesterday dispatched the Courier LAPOIrET to St. Petersbnigh: but it is believed that it will 'find it difficult to extricate itself frOm the embarrassment in which it is placed by the late events. A. Courier from Palermo lately arrived, here. We are. bat without inquietude on account of the de monstration. of • B6NAPAR - TE to seize the Island of Sicily ; bUt. all proper measures have been taken there to oppose a descent. The Strait is covered with Russian, .English, and: Neapolitan Ships, 'and themtmost efforts will be made to prevent the Island from falling into the power :of the French'. It is at . this time, especially, that the English feel all the importance - of their possession Of Malta. We are assured that the French hive likewise de manded of the Court of Vienna a passage through, Croatia. M. DE MAYUR, Quarter-Master General, set out lately:to iaspeEt the situations of Wells, Willach, and Budv, l reis, which are believed to be very capable of defence, should it be necessary again to have re- course to arms. A Wai between Rtissia and Prussia appears to be considered here as inevitable. WARSAW, APRIL 2.—The Russian Troops which , have remained several Weeks on' the Frontiers of Prussia and Gallicia have begun their march to re iurn to their former garrisons. There is now only one single Corps of Russian Troops on the Moldau. . BAVARIA, APRIL 12.—Within these two days re ports of War have' considerably diminished. The Marshals BER'NADOTTE," SOULT (whose. head-quar ters are .still at - Passau),' and NEY, will leave the B'aVariati StateS as soon ~as Cataro and •Ragnsashall be evacuated b)f, the, Russians. The , quarter of tha Inn, with Brannau, will, it, is said, be annexed to Bavaria, for' which our Sovereign will cede the Ita . Ban Tyrol to the Kingdom of Italy. The House of Austria will 'be indemnified for the quarter of the Inn. • .Auc - ssimiott, 15.- , -Yesterday early the nephew of the French Minister for Foreign Affairs, M.

Some Public Journals contain the following article from - Munich. „ • , . '" r Sovereign has received very' agreeable 'di's. pat Ches from St. Petersburgh from the Emperor ALEXANDER. The regal dignities of Bavaria and \Virtemburgh have been acknowledged by this Is Monarch ; and he is inclined to conclude a solid - - Peace with France, through the mediation of Prus sia. The Bavarian Army will in consequence be placed upon the Peice Establishment." LUBECK, APRIL 23,—T0-day, at noon, a skirmish took place between Mollm and Ratzbourg, between a smail Corps of Swedish Cavalry and a detachment of Prussian Infantry. _ The Swedes were summoned by the Prussians to retire, which they refusing, the latter attacked them. Tne Swedes being too weak to make resistance,, retreated to an eminence, where the Prussians again attacked them, and forced them to retreat entirely. In this skirmish several were killed and wounded on both sides. ROME, MARCH ;24. —The Garrison of Gaeta amounts to (3000 men, and appears to be well pro visioned. It is besieged by 24,06 b men, and fired upon from la mortars and howitzers, and 30 24- pounders. Marshal MASSENA is at Reggio, opposite Messina, where a considerable number Of Transports are cblleacd for the conveyance of the French Army • to Sicily. MAR cif 29.--,The several Secret Consistot ies that his Holiness has latelyJield, and the prayers he has put up at the high_altar of St. Peter and St. Paul, in the Vatican, prove: that extraordinary events are in con templation.

FILIiVAYOBT, Aiitii, 20. liVx have lately been very much alarmed 'y the unpleasant news of the (litßculties which defayed the evacuation of Brannau:—Of the. retrograde march ,of the French--of the susper.sion of the return of the Austrian PriSonersin a word, of the delay in the final . - conclusion of the Peace between France.and Aus tria. But more agreeable intelligence has dissipated the apprehensions which were' entertained-=A formal Convention was to 'have been §igned at Vienna the.. Bth of this month,. •by which, the French TrOoPS are to be permitted ,to ,tharch thi:Pugh • Ponteba and' Trieste into Dalmatia; and two days afterwards accounts were received of the: departure of the Russians from' Cataro. As,soon as this im portant intelligence reached Vienna, M. TALLEY RAND,. nephew to the French Minister of Fo:. reign Affairs, set out on his return for France; On his arrival at Brannau, the workS which. the French had began there were .countermanded. The communications which' he had afterwards at Munich with Marshal BERTHIER, have induced The. latter to order Marshals NEY and Sou LT to march towards the Rhine. : . • ROYAL ACADEMY. A .considerable number bf well-known Amateurs and Patrons of the Arts were admitted yesterday to a private view of the Piaures, which are finally ar ranged for the ensuing Exhibition. - We will ven ,ture .to,say that the Arts. are in a very prornising, 'state of progression, and that-many of the juvenile Artists will be found to have made great advances since last year. Among these, OWEN; THMsisoN, and CALcorr make a distinguished figure.. OWEN'S chef d' Gollyre, this year,-is a Pi&ure upon the well-known story of :The children in.the. Wood,. a beautiful composition in design, colouring, :and eff - ea. . . . THomlf sos best perform7nce is . derived from ANACIIEON, Love received. on a cold Rainy, Night, and- he. has treated the subjea: with felicity._ _ CALCOTT has two Sea-pieces, which will consider ably raise his reputation. . , HOPPNER has added to his high charailer by seve ral very fine Portraits, ,particularly one of that ever to-be-revered and lamented Patriot, Politician, and ornament as well as friend to human nature, the late M. PITT. His Portrait of Mr. FRERE is also remarkably excellent. ONE is very much improved in the . representa tion of the female charaaer. LAWRENCE has some admirable Piaures, among which is a, Portrait ofa fair neighbour of the Marquis of AnEacottN; .with a child and a dog. The . whole is executed with. beauty had spirit, and_ has the usual splendbr of his peucil. Mr. Pop, the AatOr, has some exquisite. Portrait Drawings. .• It would, however, be an of of great injustice to pass over a work by a very young Scotch Artist, whose name,we understand, is 'S. LKI E. his the reFesenta= tion of the interior of a Country-Ale-house. The cha raders are admirably defined and varied, and it is no flattery' to say that there is hardly any thing to, be found in the Flemish School superior to this effort of juvenile, genius ; if his future efforts should but . correspond with this proof of his talents, Scotland will have as much reason to be proud of him as -England has of her fIoGART.J. We are sorry that we see nothing from WEST, BEI:011E1r, or FA ARINGTON, this year. The veteran LOUTIIERROURGH, has' sent some works. which ; have all his usual spirit, and Boti - R. GEots s fully maintains his character. Among the ,amateur contributionS we were much . gratified in seeing four charmin g Landscapes from :the classic pencil of Sir GEORGEBEAU MONT, one . of " which is founded upon The Thorn, a Poem, in the beautiful, simple, and affe&ing Works of Wolips 'WOßTH. If the Exhibition was delayed this year, the public will have an, ample compensation in laudable pride and pleasure arising.from the triumphant progress of the BRITISH ARTS. ' HARRISON'S Annual COricert took plsce last night hi the Great Room at the Opera-.
