Mr, Curwen moved that the order of the
duy for resuming the adjourned debate on the
motion that 3ir Francis Buaedett’s Letter to
the dpedger be read, He was as far as anv
one {rom paiting false or stralned construcs
tions on atly mn's expressions. But the let
ter addeessed by Sir Francis Burdett to the
Speaker, wus of too glaring a nature to adimit
ol a doubt, or of heatution. Ever since he
bad sit in that House, he had been a friend
to Paritamentary relorm ; but these were far
indeed, from measures calculated to obtun
that object, and attempts to expose this House
to publick contempt. He thought now the
duty of every man was to rally round govern
went, without any regard to party spirit, and
to steengthen its meuns of protecting the
country. He trusted that there would be but
one sendiment in the House on the shbject
before them : and that this unanimity, as well
as the ¢onduct ef Sir Francis, would open ev
ery one's eyes, whatever might be his popu
lavity, He thoughty st the same time, that
this House had gone far nough in punishing
bim; the next step they would take would
aimost Inevitably occasion freg, troubles, and
render the interierence of the “wilitary aguin
necessary. He had not altered ‘“\C Opi"inn.
ke had so long professed ; bun \jines were
changed ; and as much as he thouag it his
duty still ta canvas, strictly, the conduct of
Miunisters, as much did he feel himself bouna
to maimain the honour and dignity of the
Commons. He would move that the debate
en Sir Francis Burdedw's letted, be adjourned
to this day six wonths.
The Chancelior of the Exchequer siid
whatever might huve been his feelings at the
scenes that had occurred, he never had doubt
ed of the tean juility of the capitaly because
be had a power in readiness sufficicnt to ens
sureit; He had never a doubt as to the le
gality of breaking open a honse, il necessary,
tor the execuion of the Speaket’s Warrent ;
but thought immseit bound iy asticeto iet the
Sergeant, who was responsio.c, to use his dis
cretion. The Right hm. gentleman con
cluded, by submitiiay to the candour of the
House, whether it would not. be better to a
dopt @ middie course between stient cons
tempty the motive of waich mi rht be mista
ken, and farther punishment. He then move
ed the following Resolutiony expressing at
the same time, his readiness to alter it so as
to meet the general sense of the House.
“ Resolved, That it appears to this House, that Si"
Prancis Burdett’s Letter to the speaker is agross ag
"ravation of his offenge ; but that it appearing to this
louse, by the sergean’s report, that the spesker's
w.rrant has been executed, J:?s House does not think
it necessary, at the present time, to take further no
tice of this Letter,”
The Speaker, when he had finished read
ing the lettery satd, that the next thing to be
considered was, wether it should lie on the
tubie 7 T'nis too must be decided by a vote.
Tius mouon was agreed to without any op
position.
After a long debate upon the words “ ag”
gravaiion of his oftence,” the Chancellor o
the Exchequer withdrew his original Motions
for the purpose of substituting that the letter
was “a flagrant breach of the privilege," &e.
which motion, so altered, was agreed to nem
con==Adjourned. '
On Monday a mob assembled in Buistol,
broke the windows in the Munmioa House,
Council Honse, and Gatldhall, shouting,
“ Burdett forever,” “No Tower.” The
Meristrates went among them, apprehended
17 of the ringleaders, and tranquility was re
stored.
The r.mt news from Luwiond, (via New Fork, )

The civil mariiage of tbr'. ?T(w I.lld
Royal Majestics was cel don unddy, at
e Pulsce of St. Cloud, at 2 o’clock, confor
mably to the prograinie. In the .evenhg.cv

,:’rom Parisy and the meighbouring oM muncs,
10 enjoy the magnificent and entirely new
spectacle presented by the Wluminating of
' (hat bewutitul gavden. The illusion was sin
‘ gularly augmented by the plpyi;f- of.;thc. Wi
tery which risipg above the J luminations,
loubled their ehect by reflection. A most
urprising circumstance, is, that at St. Cloud, -
‘he weather was pretty fair, at the some tme
‘hat in Paris the streets were inundated with
s incessant torrent of rain. Fears were al
ready entertained with regard to the festivi

Fament the loss of so meny preparations made
in the Capital to celebrate the most august of
ceremonies, «nd most memuorable, of events.
Phe star of the Emperour once more prevails
over the equinoctial gales. At the moment
when the cannon announced the departure of
His Majesty, the sun dispersed the clouds ;
nd nothing was wanting to the splendour of
the most delightiul fete that we have ever be
neld, -
On the arvival of the Emperour and Em
press at the avenue of Neur'lly, the drums
began to beat, the bands of musick struck up,
e cannob fired, &c. Their Majesties stop-"
ped about ten minutes under the triumphal
arch at L’Eroile, where they were compli
mented by the Magistrates ol Paris,
T he Emperour and Empress reached the
Thuilleries at 2 o'clobk amiust the same ac
clamations.
FROM THE FRENCH PIPLRS
The same form was gone through with
respect to the Empress ; with this distinction
only, that in compliment, no doubt, to hs re
ligious creed, the minister omitted g™ the
question put to her, the word « acknowledge,”
which he had introduced in addressing Napo
leon, to denote the validity of the puioe’ civil
marriage, according the modern code of
I'rance. : T
+ Tais part of the ceremony being comple
ted, the Grand Master of Ceremonies made
a bow to the Emperour and Empress, who
taking off their gloves, advunced to the foot
of the alter, and there taking each other by
the right hand, were thus addressed by the
Grand Alioner @
*Sire, you declare, that you acknowledge, and you
swear before God, and in the face of his holy church,
that you now take as your wife and lawful spouse,
her Tmperial Highness Madame Maria Louisa, Arch-
Duchess of Austria, here present.” The Fmperour
answered, * Yes ‘Sir” The Minister continued,
“ You promise and swear to be faithful to her in all
things, as a fuithful spouse ought to be towards his
spouse, uccording to the commandment of God.”—
The Emperour answeredy “ Yes Sir”
In the chapel ot the Louvae, wiere the se«
remony was performed, an estrade, snrmoun
ted by u canopy was erected ‘in front of the
altar, At the distance of thirty feet fromr the
altnr were placed two chairs of state, with a
praying desk for their imperial Majesties. In
two chundeliers close to the altar were put
too large wax candles, each of them encrusi
ing twenty pieces of gold. A bason, contaiin
ingg thirty pieces of gold and the marriage
ring, was luid on the altar. At the bottom of
the steps were two cushions for their Imperial
Majesties, and at the top three chairs for the
officizting Grond Almoner and his two assis
tant Bishops. The Cardinals were seated to
the right of the altar, and the Bishops to the
left. The Prince Grand Dignitaties, &c.
were stutioned, as in the civil ceremony, ac
cording (o their respeclive degrees of rank
and precedence. ‘
The Cardinal Grand Almoner of France,
his assistunt, the Grand Almoner of Italy,an’
the body of Cleryy, reccived the Imperiai
Pair at the door of the chupel, and presented
them with the censer, and holy water. Their
Majestics and the whole of the procession
having tuken their places, the officiuting
Grand Almoner ordered the Veni Creator to
be chaunted, all present being on their knees.
At the conclusion of the first verse, the Grand
Almoner proceeded to the highest step of
the sanctuary, und standing with his back to
the altary pronounced a benediction on the
thirty picces of gold and the ring.
1 he ceremony of the chapel having lasted
nearly three guorters of an hour, wus succee
dea by a repetitton bf the same acclamations
Lud the same tokens of respect amf attach
went. Their Majesties rejurned to the
I wuilieries before 4 o’clock.
1t took much less time than might be con
cerved to clear the gallery, by the stuircases
only, of that multitude of spectators. ‘l'he
order established below, and the judicious re
gulations obscrved on the wrrival of the carri
ages, fucilitated their departure. This part
of the fete was nowise inferiour to the rest
in beauty and attiuction.
[t is aiso impossibie, except for those who
saw ‘hem to torm un adequate conceprion of
the richness and elegance of the illumina
tions. Never was so magnificent a spectacie
exhibited 1o the publick.~"TlThe Pulace and
garden of the Thuilieries, the trivmphant
arch erected at Pont Tournunt, Place de la
Concorde, the paluce of the Legislative Body,
Le Gurde Mcuble, and the Temple of Giory,
formed an enchanting toutsensemble, wnich it
is extremely difficult to describe, because
there is nothing witk. which to compare it

on the throne, and went through the forms of
kissing the Gospels ; after which they ad
vunced in succession to the altar, each bear
ing one of the wax candles inclosing twenty
picces of gold, and delivering the same as
their offering to the Grand Almoner.
High Mass was then performed, during
which the happy couple took the Sacrament,
