WE last night received / Dutch Apers to the inst: and this morning the , Hanzburgh .2lfail due on Wednesday arrived. The former are filled with ac counts of the arrival of Their Majesties the new King and Queen of Holland at the Hague. They arrived there on the evening of the 17th, and took up their residence at the House in the Wood; they were attended by a large body of Cavalry, 'and the road through which.. they passed.. was lined with TrOops, all French. - - 'Gen. LAVRISTON, on taking possession of Ragusa, has published a Proclamation, in which he states, .that the Enemies of France had too much influence in the Ragusan Republic, and that BONAPARTE; feeling his dignity thereby hurt, bad ordered him to , take posses. sion of it; and adds, that he will keep , possession of it until.the Russians, shall have evacuated not only Ca-. taro, .but Corfu, and the wholeßepublic of the Seven, Islands, and until the Russian Squadron shall have entirely quitted the Adriatic, The intelligence brought by the Mail is more than 'usually uninterest ing. No part of the French Troops have yet eva cuated Germany, nor do they shew any disposition to give up Brannau to the Austrians.' A letter has been circulated on the Continent, said to have- been written by BONAPARTE to the KING of BAVARIA, requesting him to' abdicate his Throne in favour of his son. We are, of course, unable to vouch for the authenticity of this letter ; • but if it be not genuine, the style of BONAPARTE is very well irni tated. TEE Funds yesterday experienced a considerable depression, which it is said arose from a report that the EMPEROR of Itussm had concluded a separate Peace with France. No such intelligence has been received, nor is such an event by any means likely to happen ; the Teat reason of the decline of the Funds yesterday was the anxiety of those who pur chased Stock / some days ago to realize a profit upon' their speculations. Nothing is yet known with any certainty upon the subjeEt of the supposed Nego tiation. Lord HENIY PETTY last night submitted to . the Rouse of Commons his plan for auditing the Public Accounts : he proposed to increase the number of Commissioners to ten, and to-form tlkein into three •Boards—the first Board, consisting of four Corn ,rnissidners,, is . to audit the current accounts ; the second; of three Commissioners, is to take charge of the accounts now under examination ; and the third, also consisting of three Commissioners, is to audit the_ accounts which :have not yet been pro ceeded upon. Every Accountant is to deliver in his accounts, and vouchers annually, within three months after the 31st December. NOTHING more, we understand,' has transpired respecting the mysterious affair to which we have relutlantly drawn the attention bf our Readers for the last two or three days.—lt is said that a Baronet and his wife, particularly the latter, have been active in the charge, and have urged it with confidence and Circumstantiality ; but it is not held by those best able to judge, as chara&erized by, any pre tensions to credibility. The amiable and illustrious obje& of this dark and disgusting accusation, ani mated-by conscious innocence, confident of ample justice, and assured 'of national support, is open as day, and, without ostentation, submits herself freely to public notice. Admiral THORNI3ROUGH 'is coming home in His Majesty's Ship Malta, and is to be succeeded by Sir S A mut'. HOOD in the Command off Rochefort. The ROYAL FAMILY honoured Windsor Terrace with their presence on Sunday, which was'•crowded with company,' Among whom we noticed Lord BuLKELF.y, Count MUNSTER, Mr. VILLIERS, Miss and General VYSE.

According to Letters received from Brannan, the French, do not .appear as yet to be making any pre parations.to deliver up that place to the Austrians. It is certain that the French Troops are making some movements, but it is impos,sible to determine with what view. • We are assured that Cardinal FEscH has chosen Frankfort for the -place of his residence,,and that a suitable bouie, &c. is preparing for him there. Several commercial honks at Basle have entirely given up trade. . : ITALY, MAY 26.—The city of Venice has re solved to send an Extraordinary Deputation to Paris, which will be accompanied, by Deputies from all the other Ex-Venetian Provinces. The number of the English Troops An Sicily amounts now_ to about 7000 men. ' EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER 'FROM VIENNA, JUNE 4. Though I cannot ! absolutely vouch for the authenticity 'of the follOwjtig Letter, which is circu lated privately' here, yet cannot.refrain from send ing you a copy of it, as'it is certainly net unsuitable to the chara&er of the Irian to whom it is attributed. " TO THE, KING OF BAVARIA. " SLR AND BEI&THEE-1 made you a King, and, from particular esteem and respect for your person, sent you my Ministers at War and able Counsellors to organize and dire& the Admini stration of your States ; yet though you have, en . • en joyed these advantages full four months, you have hitherto done Dothiug. really useful, and I conse quently have , reason to believe that you do not pos sess the qualities necessary to govern well. I must therefore advise yOu to abdicate in favour of your Son, of whom I have conceived better hopes. As I wish and expeet your acquiesence in this proposal, 'I shall take care to secure to you a suitable pension. " NAPOLEON."- , FRO.II THE DUTCH PAPERS. HAGUE,JUIE 1 8 .—Though their Majesties the King and queen were not expeetedhere till to-day, a Cou rier from head-quarters arrived on Tuesday even ing with certain information that they might be expeaed as yesterday in the afternoon, and which fell out accordingly. The approach of their Majesties towards this residence was no sooner known than a Flag was . hoisted upon the Marine Observatory. At the same moment the artillery in the Meadow-Camp fired a salute of 2 i guns, which was continued every half hour, till the Commanding Officer was informed of their Majestie's'arrival at the House in the Wbod. As soon as the first twenty-one guns were heard•the chimes at the Great Church were in readiness for playing : the great flag was likewise hoisted upon the Town-house, and the chimes Continued playing half an hour after the guns .were fired.. A Deputation of the Magistrates set out from the Hague to the Laan Hock of the - Niel.v Osteinde, to welcome their Ma jesties to the territory of the Hague, and to present them with some wine, according to custom. The De putation afterwards accompanied their Majesties to the House in the Wood, and then withdrew; having obtained leave for that purpose.' Soon after their Majesties were met by the - Deputation, they found the Dragoon Guards and the , Hussars posted to re ceive them, with General COLi.AEAI; at.their, head. A band of music was placed in the .village of,Voor burgh to receive their Majesties ; and these, with the military, escorted them to the House in the Wood. A detachment from the First Regiment of Hussars, and an Equerry, had been pieviously' sent to Delft to meet his Majesty,. and t 9 convey the speediest intelligence of his approach to the. Hague. The Infantry of the garrison, under the Senior Officer, formed a line on both sides of the way, aiid upon the , steps of the Royal Residence. Here an other full band of music was placed to rece i ve th e i r Majesties. - _ , At • the Palace, the . Ministers were also, in waiting to receive theM, together with tile Presi dent of the States, , the Elder Secretary, &c. Their Majesties' entrance into the Palace was announced by the band of music. The. Departmental Admini stratimi of Holland had dispatched a Deputation to meet their Majesties on Monday . evening at Stryen Sas, and to welcome them to the territory of 'Hol land. TheVice-AdmiralVEßHEutt.,with some Generals, Adjutants, and Officers of the . Staff, State Mes sengers, &c. were at Rotterda m . on the subsequent evening, there to await their Majesties. A:ntitfiber of triumphal arches, extended from the Ulan to the Niew Osteinde, where a bridge had been laid, in order. that their, Majesties might proceed to the hiague iu a dire& ‘ine. These - arches' were ornamented With green bou,ghs, and being illutni- Elated, had a very good etfea. The Kingand QUeen and the young Princes were all in the same carriage, encircled by the Guard of Honour, and were also preceded and followed by a great number of cavalry. Next to the Royal Carriage came Admiral VER.- HEUIL, and some other Ministers and Deputies— txclUsive of the illuminations of the triumphal arches, the way which their Majesties proceeded in through the Wood was lighted with flambeauit'.. NAPLES, JUNE 3.—Since the taking the little"' Fortress of Civitella del Fronto, which the French Troops carried last month by assault, nothing is left unreduced through the whole kingdom of Naples,. Gaeta excepted.' This place, which the Prince of Hesse persists in defending, is to be attacked with more vigour than hag hitherto been used. The Army-encamped under its walls has been consider ably augmented. The Works and the trenches be fore the place are now ,Completed, and very formi dable batteries are open upon the 'place, night and day. MILAN, JUNE 7.—The following ProclamatiOn, published at Ragusa, by General LAURISTON, ex plains the causes and conditions of his Military ope rations : ‘s . NAPOLEON I. EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH .AND KING OF ITALY, &C. " The many concessions made to the enemies of ' France had placed the Republic of Ragusa in a state of hostility, - so much the more dangerous; as it Was carried on under, the appearance' of friendshiP and neutrality. 'The entrance of the French Troops into Dalmatia, far from preventing such condud, gave further occasion to: our Enemies to exercise their in fluence in the State of RaguSa.; and:whatever were • the motives of the condescension 'of the Magistrates of this State, the Emperor was acquainted with 'the cir cumstance. His dignity bet-able concerned inputting an end to praffices so contrary.,iO - the laws of neutrality. " In consequence,, in the name, and by order, of the Emperor of the French and King of Italy, I take pciSSeSsion of the - city and territory of Ragusa. Notwithstanding I.declare, that it is-the . inten-, tion of his Majesty the Emperor and King to ac , knowledge' the independence and neutrality of this. State, as soon as the Russians shall have•evacuated. Albania,...the Island of Corfu, and the other Vene tian Islands,' and that . the 'Russian :Squadron shall have quitted the Coast of Dalmatia. " I promise assistance and proteEti6h to -- all the Ragusans ; I shall cause the laWs, existing usages, and property, to be respe&ed. In short, - according to the line of conduct which shall' be :observed by the inhabitants, I will - take care that they ,sball have no reason to complain of the presence of the French Army. • " The present GovernMent shall continue; it shall exercise. the same fundions, and retain the same titles. Its relations, as well with Neutral States as with those in alliance with France, shall remain as they were before. '" The Commissary for Commercial Affairs to the Senate shall exercise the ftinEtions of Imperial Com missary. (Signed) " LAURISTON." " Given at Itapsa, Miiy 27, 18:.6." PARIS, JUNE 19.—Two English Midshipmen, who escaped from the Citadel •of Verdlan, where they were confined as Prisoners of War, by means Of a rope, were arrested at Mazerai, and brought back to the place of their original - detention. Even in their captivity the English retain their fatal propensity to play and betting. On the 2d,in stant there was a foot-race between two of these stran g ers, Messrs. AINSLEY and ROBERTS, at Bras, near Verdun. The Stakes, it is said, were woo guineas besid,es the private,bets. A superb carriage and harness were staked at play, and lost. Mr. Ithr BEETS was the winner in the foot race; the distance 'was 200 yards. They intend to have horse-races in the middle of June. )• PRESBUIiGH, JUNE 3.—Letters dire& from Trieste, written the latter"end of May, mention, that several French RegiMents coming from Venice had a "few days before passed through the territory of Trieste, at a' short distance from the town. These troops were on their way to DalMatia, and it was thought that they would be reinforced by several other Re giments. It was. confidently reported at Trieste, that the Russians had burned the small town of Les sina, being the principal place in one of the Islands on the Coast of Dalmatia. We cannot speak with any certainty respeding this intelligence. Yesterday evening the Officers of 'the 3d Regi - merit of Guards, who had been entertained on Sa, turday. by their new Colonel (H. R. 11. the, Duke of GLOUCESTER) at WILLIS'S, gave a most sumptuous dinner-at the same place to irk Royal Highness and suite. The Band played, almost all .the evening on the staircase. Several loyal and patriotic Toasts were drank, and the evening was spent in the most con vivial. manner. .„ . „ THE THEATRE.—The dramatic Romance of The Iron chest introdtieed Mr. RAE last night at the Hay market Theatre in, the charaeler of Sir Edward Mor timer. The more' we see of this A6tor the more we are convinced that his powers are confined to Tra gedy, and, to a limited scope even in that province. ----rfhe. gloomy, .the wild, and- the desperate, are chiefly calculated to draw forth his powers. The ,charaeter he performed last night, therefore, enabled him to. exhibit his talents with success, though he has been anticipated by popular Performers. It has been, justly Considered as One of the greatest difficulties . of the art to eipress a manly sorrow. In g eneral grief is shewn upon the St a g e e ith er with' rant or effiminancy ; Mr. RAE is inclined to both these extremes, but particularly to an hysterical expression, with which it is impossibli . to sympathize. 'ln this respea he follows Mr. ELLISTON, but car- - ries it tot greater extent. Mr. RAE, however; never comes tardily off," and we doubt not that with more exuirience he will acquire considerable claims to publicTavour. The Play is well diversified, and excites strong interest It was attended by a nu merous audience. COOKE, whose destination_ since his abrupt de parture from Covent Garden Theatre has given oc casion to various reports, is now playing at Glasgow ; but we do not hear whether be treats the Scotch with their favoarite dance, a lied. _ z'Ak.

Sailed the "Ackland Packet, Captain SCHUYLER, with a Mail for Lis bon. ASTLEY's ANNUAL WHERRY itrATcm YESTERDAY the Public was highly gratified with this pleasing speetacle.. The day being uncommonly favourable, heightened the amusement.. The Bridgei and Banks of the River were crowded, with speeta ' tors, and the face of Old Father. Thames was charm ingly ornamented with pleasure-boats, wherries, skiffs, funnies, &c. each being filled with Belles: and Beaux in their holiday, apparel. The Wherry rowed for yesterday was the-fif teent h giVen by Mr. ASTLiY, in Konour of His Majesty's Birth-day.

At start ing Cannon took the-lead, which he kept until , he cane to the Nine Elms, where Barrow, who had , pushed him very hard since- starting, shot a-head, and won the first race. ,Overton kept pretty close to them ; the three others gave in. At six o'clock, Barrow, Cannon, and Overton, started for the grand heat, when the sharpest contest we ever remember took place between Barrow and Cannon, which the former won by half a boat'S length, and then acknowledged, that, if he had had 50 yards'farther to go he should certainly have lost, being completely disabled by a cramp which seized one of his feet. After the contest was decided, the Boat was taken to ASTLEY'S 'Royal Amphitheatre, where it was pre sented on the stage to the victor. Cannon as second, received two guineas, and Overton one guinea. The. house was remarkably full in every part. The Margaret Packet, from Bengal, whence she sailed on the 16th of February, is arrived at Ports mouth. At the time of her departure from India ,tranquillity was entirely re-established.
