LONDON

SATURDAY, MARCH 30.

Last night we received several of the small P iris
Papers to the List. 'l'he POPE will not leave that
city so soon as he expeCed. He has been taken 111,
and is confined to his room. Admiral GAS.
TI4EAtIME, who commands the Brest Beet, atter
visit to Paris to receive the instruitions of Bona.
PART c, returned to Brest on the 10th. The seals
have been put upon a great number of vessels under
neutral colours in the port of Flushing, laden with
English merchandise, destined for the port of Ant.
werp. A letter from the Hague of the tfith states,
that the new constitution will meet with no opposi-
tion ; indeed no one expeCted that it would.

We heard last night, from a respetilable quarter,
that the sectet expedition is destined for the E.:4.:
Indies. This intelligence is strongly confirmed Ly
existing circumstances. The reduced state of our
forces in India, and the probability that the Roct.A,
fort squadron is gone there, make it a point of vital
importance to provide for the safety of our Indian
possessions. There is, apparently, no urgent ne-
cessity for sending an army to Malta or Sicily, both
of which places are still mentioned as probable des-
tinations of the armament.

A complete Copy of the EL IV, NTH ItEroer of
the COMMISSIONERS of N•V AL leplitey is given
the last page. It relates to the issue of Navy Bills for
the purpose of raising money, an.l two other heads;
in the investigation of which the Comptroller of the
Navy, Sir A. S. HAMMOND, objeiaed to a full dis-
closure upon the same ground assigned by Viscount
M ci.v► t.Le for his refusal to answer certain questions.

We have inse ted a full report of acase ultra e 'me
o r to be heard yesterday before the Logo Cuas-
CU. LOR, relative to the Guardianship of the Hon.
MARY SEV MOUR. the infant daughter of the lategal-
lant Lord Huert St v store. This cps*. which "'mild
be at any time interesting from the rank and rt-
sideration of the parties, is rendered peculiar!), im-
portant by the political circumstances of the present
moment ; the suit being for the purpose of removing
the child from the proteaion of Mrs. FITZ ttttt r,
upon the ground that, as being a Roman Catholic,
she is not a fit person to have the care of APIUt. st-
ant infant.

We have received tigw-York Papers to the 16th
hut ; they are almost entirely filled with the answers
of Judge Cs+•SE to the artic►es of impeachment ex-
hibited against Lim by the I lodge of Representatives.
