We this day continue our extraas from the Ramburgli Mail vAith arrived y-efiterday, One of the most interesting parts .of this communication is the Spe.4,el - 1 addressed by the KING .of• SWEDEN to hi; Army.' This 'gallant and noble-spirited Monarch possesses a mind :worthy of .the high situation he holds, and it is, to be regretted,,for the sake of :the world, that his means are nbt more corms nucnt with - 1 - 14.- sentiments 7 He, is, however, sup ! ported b ) a po•Nerful Monarch, of a congenial mind, and we Frlay st . dl hope . important advantages from their united efforis, and the force of their example; in catijundiou with . ethis ,Counti-Y, if the Conti neat - is - not \doily sunk into despicable fear, or tempted by narrow interests and pitiful ainhi= There is anOther circumstance among , the contents of this Mail which is . by; no means uninteresting, and which strengthens our hope that in_ any prosperous Change of affairs, the -Con tinent- may yet _be resale(' from an upstart race of spoilers.—lt:was apprehended that the daughter of the ELEcrox.of SAxoNy Would be demanded in marriage for some branch of the Imperial House of BoNAPaRTE. Far from being inclined to imitate the condua - of other Potentates, who have courted ' such an alliance, the gleetor has signified that she is already betrothed to a near relation, and the match will doubtless - be hurried forward to prevent the ne cessity of a marriage that wpgld hardly . bring . -ed, ipantages enough to compensate for its disgrace. 'A long and / interesting' conversation 'took place last, night in the House of Commons- on the Wit nesses' Liability Bill. The . MASTER of the ROLLS declared himself to be decidedly of opinion with the Minority of the Judges, viz. that a Witness was not bound .by Law to answer a Question the answer ing of 'l,Vhich might expose him to a Civil suit: The Learned Gentleman then proposed a Proviso, the objet ,of which he stated to be, the preventing the Bill from converting that into an universal proposi tion,'which the Judges merely delivered as.a general 9119.--Thf..-. ATTORNEY and SOLICITOR GENERAL difkral in opinion upon the expediency of adopting Proyiio, which was ultimately negatived. A Cirailar Letter has been sent to the friends of ildwinistration,..requesting their attendance in the Hinge of Commons at the commencement of next week. This Letter has given rise to an 'opinion, that some Propositions of a most important and ex- Iraordinary nature was to be submitted to Parliament at tinft period. The simple faa is, that Ministers are naturally anions to have as. ft an httendance of Members , 4s possible upon the investigation of the new Plan forthe improvement .of the Army, and .p.m the Prbperty Yesterday„ about two o'clock, -HER MAJESTY came from the Ciuen's House to St. James's, and licsid a Drawing - rrom, which - was attended by. three ',,t the PR INCESiES, their Royal Highnesses the DUKES of KENT and CAMBRIDGE, the Loati CHANCELLOR, - IIW Chancellor. of the Exchequer, 'the Secretaries . of `rate, the Attorney and Solicitor Qeneral, the.

FRACAS.---A circumstance took place on Wednes day last that had nearly led to fatal consequences.-- An-Irish Nobleman took a Dra* to the Banking= house of Sir WALTER STIWNG in the Strand, and, as the Clerk acted upon the established 'principle of `` first- come first served," manifested great displea sure. As high words .arose, Sir WALTER-came for ward, and very naturally justified the conduet of his Clerk,,upon tht: grounds of usage and justice. The Nobleman resented this interferenee so much, that he soon after sent Sir WALTER a challenge; but as the matter had excited mud - 1 - notice in the Office, ► and more conversation abroad, the - 2vingistrates of .loW-4reet were .properly apprized of what had happened, arid, in consequence both parties were taken into custody, and obliged to enter into xecog nizances to keep the peace:, Mr. GRoyEs, the Ar,cliitea, under the sarielion of the Hon. PETER BrinaLm., yesterday finally set tled the plan of the arrangethents which, are,to take place in Westminster-Hall for the Trial of .

The'Earl'of MORTON has lately had put into his , possession the keys of LoChleven,Cas-tle; • which an ancestor of his Lordship's, and a brother, of the Earl of MORTON, who was Regent of Scotland daring the minority of JAMES VI. afterwards JAMES I. of Eng:: land, threw into the Loch, after/ delivering MARY Queen of Scots from au imprisonment in that For tress: Their discovery has been owing to the great drought that prevailed last year in Scotland, and considering the immensity of time they had, lain there very little rust appears on them. . Mrs. 1314LINOTON'S present enga-gement. at the Opera House expires this season, but it is more pro bable, we find, that it will be renewed than that she will enter into articles with either of the English Theatres. A strong Squadron, under the command ofAdmi ral HARVEY, has been recently detached from 'the Channel Fleet. It consists of the Tonna& (Flag Ship), 80 guns, Prince Ge6l-go, 98, Barfleur, 98, Renown, 74, Spartiate, 74, Plantagenet, 74, Bellerophon, 74, and the Revolutionan-e, 44. , The following Itegiments are immediately to, be sent to . Sicily :—The sth Regiment of Dragoon Guards, the 21Nt of Light Dragoons, the 21st of Infantry, the 31st of. Intaotry, and two Regiments from Gibraltar, who, are to be replaced by, the first and second Battalions of the Line of the German Legion. ; • ' One of our dashing yottiig men of fashion, - who is remarkable, among other very useful qualifirn ilims,for his skill in coachmanship, had been per suaded by a mechanical friend to build a coach on a new principle, of an oelag9n shape, and ealcu-; Wed, of course, to hold eight persons', with a table in the centre; but he has not had the courage to venture it on the.,towtf ;- and this _extraordinary machine will now, we understand, be employed as an itinerant vehicle between London-and Brent ford.

The, watch mentioned in the indiEtment was one of seventeen wh:ch - the Prosecutor lost out of his shop in Kingsgate-street, Red-Lion-square, on the 7th of February last. He, stated that he had occasion to go out on that day, be tween 3 and 4 o'ccick,did not return till about 6. Fre then shut up his shop, without observing that he had sustained any loss ; but a Gentleman soon after coming in to buy something, he missed seventeen watches from a rail on which they were hung in the window, and it was afterwards discovered' that a pane of glass had been broken, in order to get of them. On the cith of February the Prisoner was seized, along with another boy, in Long-Acre, by Croaker, ofie of the Bow-street Officers, who re coaanized the Prisoner a s an o ff en d er w h o h a d b een sent to sea, .and therefore thought proper to take him into custody. He carried him to a public-house in Bow-street, to secure him until it should be con venient to take him, before the Magistrates. As they were entering ,the public-house, Croaker ob served the Prisoner touch the pocket of a person named Pring, who was among, the crowd colle&ed there. He imagined that his intention was to pick Pring's pocket; but soon after Pring came into the public-houe, and charged the Prisoner. with havine put a watch into his 'locket, - Pribg stated, that he felt the Prisoner touch his pobket as he passed him; but as he had nothing of value about him, he apprehended no bad consequences from the centa6l. In a mi nute er two he put- his hand in the pocket' which the Prisoner had touched, and found a watch in it. He went into the Putelic-house to look for the Pri soner,, who, on seeing him, was extremely urgeht that he should sit down beside him and drink with him, -When he charged the Prisoner with putiing the watch"in his pocket, he denied it. Pring 'had never seen the Prisoner before this transadlon.— The lury found the Prisoner -Guilty of stealing, but not of breaking and, entering the dwelling house. __ . .
