WE have received the Paris Papers up to Wednesday,

'• This evening, .at eight o'clock, his Serene fligh-

According to .letters which have •been Teceiveafrom
respectable individuals in Alexico, dated the tSth of
February, and received by the way of I Tavannah, the
rebellion was nearly-suppressed throughout the whole
interior of that kingdom. On the frontiers, and along
the coasts, there were some straggling binds of rob.
ler/. All the communications were entirely open, and
commerce was pursued with great activity. Towards
the oud of the same month (February) there had ar-
rived f....t'•Vera C Tti Z, • frOCI Mexico, Urge convey, with

It appears by the Paris papers of Tuesaar last, that
his Serene Highness the Prince of Contle was on Sa-
turday week taken serioasly ill. His complaint became
afterwards so much more alarming, that his son, the
Due de 13ourbbn, to whom his father has not spoken
for many years, was sent for cx-press.from London. At
the age o: -61.! small hopes can be entertained of a com-
plete recovery. The equipage of the Quke of 'Wel-
lington le'.l Paris for Cambray ou the gal inst. :His
Grace is looled for at head.quarters.befirre the end of
the current month.

Americiat papers of the 26th March announce that
the United States' ship Hornet has got under weigh
for St. Domingo, and thence for •the lipunish Main,
havin., gentlemen on board who have been clothed by.
the Pe'resident with extensive diplomatic powers. Their
mission is said to be connected with the unfriendly
state of the Negociations between America.and Spain ;
and it is now not disguised, that the 'Executive of the
United States was, at the moment when the accounts
came away, discussing sonic very important measure in.
relation to the 'Spanish Government.
fhe Report of the S.lect Committee of the House of
Commons, on the administration of justice upon the
Northern Circuit, has been printed. It commends.
that, fiar the greater t;aility and dispatch of business,
I sach measures should be taken as would divide the
present Northern-Circuit into two separate circuits, the
one comprehending the counties of Westmorland,
Lancaster, and Cumberlard.; and'the ether including
York, Northumberland, and Darhatn: and on advert-
ing particularly to the petition frem,the city of Nor-
wich, the Committee Caller recommend .the augmen-
tation. to the present number of Judges, who might be
usefully employed in Westminster Hall and the regular
tribunals of the country, by which means an opportu—
nity would be afforded of supplying the defect so
loudly 'complained of on the Norfolk and Midland
Circuit, viz. of having only one Judge on the Spring.

Bahama Gazettes have arrived to the end: of March.
The general assembly had been prorogued by a pro-
clamation of his Excellency the Governor, from the
3d of March to the 14th day of April. The Go-
vernor, on the 19th of February, issued a proclama-
tion, permitting the in:portation of all kind of mei-
thandize and grain in British built ships owned by
British subjects, into the Bahama Islands, until the
21st day of August next, unless sooner determined or
altered by -an order from his Majesty, with the advice •
of his Privy Council. These papers contain accounts
of tbe.capture of several British vesselsliy independent
privateers, which have been already communicated in
:letters from the agent to Lloyd's at *Nassau.
Thonew Auction Bill contains several clauses parti-
cularly interesting to the public, as well as to auc-
tioneers ; among others it specifies that no. goods shall
be sold on premises without the proprietor's name
being mentioned in the advertisement; a certificate is
also required from the collector of the poor rates, that
the person whose goods are to be sold has been assessed
to those sates for the.house in his occupation. The
goods ore also to be on view (whether the proprietor
wishes it or not) a certain time previous to the sale.
! Another clause goes to prevent any auctioneer from
selling his own goods, or having them sold by another.
The Spanish Government, we learn, is making its
' best exertions to oppose at once the claim.; of America
and reduce the insurgent provinces. These are points,
however, in which: our interest is remote and contin-
I gent. Respecting the part which our countrymen may
be induced to take in these quarrels, which appertain
not to them personally, we feel greater anxiety—that
is, on their accoant—and have always expressed a
wish that they wora:d not hazard their lives, nor even
their property. Sorne*panish ships are already ordered
.to this country, to intercept. any vessels proceeding with
arms, &c. to join the South American insurgents, the
Spanish-Government being perfectly aware of the pro-
ceedings of a certain General mid his partisans here in
England. .The British merchant-should pause before
he hazards his property under such circumstances.
Mr. Flaxman's monument •to Lord Nelson, erected
at the national expence, in st. Pours: Cathedral, was
on-Wednesday opened to public inspection. The statue
of Lord. Nelson, dressed in the pelisse received from the
Grand Signior, leans on an anchor. Beneath, on the
right of the hero, Britannia directs the attention of two
young seamen to Nelson, their great example. The
British Lion on .the other side guards the monument.
On- the cornice of the pedestal are the words, Copen-
hagen, Nile, Trafalgar. The figures on the pedestal
represent the North Sea, the German Ocean, the Nile
and the Mediterranean.

We learn from our Dover .('orresixmilent, that. kis
Grace the Duke of Wellington arrived• there on Friday
afternoon from London. .1f the wind permitted, it was
his Grace's intention to embark on board the Lord
Duncan packet immediately frr Calais.
The Royal -Sovereign yacht was lying hi the roads,
waiting for a wind to take her, to Calais, to bring over
their Royal Higlinessess the Duke and Duchess of
Cambridge.
The Court I louse of the Bombay Presidency was
nearly destroyed l)y lire on the 18th of Octukr.

We ausilay the Prince ltegerit visited the Queen at
her Paince, as did the .Duchess vt Gloucester and Duke
of Clarence.

Wednesday, at three o'clock, the Prince Regent held
a Court, grid afterwards a Privy Connell, at which the
Royal sanction was riven to one of the intruded Royal
marriages. Admirdl .Sir Ccnrgc Campbell kissed hands
upon his being appointed.Commanderin Chief at Ports-
mouth. The Earl of Harrowby uud the Earl of hi-
verpool had audiences of the Prince Regent.
The Duke and Duchess -of Gloucester had a grand
party on Thursday night. We are told that not
less than 1,400 persons were present, including the
Dukes of York, Kent, and Sussex, the Prince of !Terse
Humboatg, most of the Foreign Nlinnters, several of
the Cabinet Ministers, and.a lung list of nobility.—
The magnificence of the entertainment was worthy of
the exalted rank of the host and hostess, but unfortu-
nately.the conithrt was not equal to the splendour : flit
it appears, that in spite of the precise regulations which
had been given respecting the setting down of the
guests, and in spite ot'u numerous attendance of police
to execute these regulations, the crowd of carriages and
of spectators increased at length to a magnitude too
great to be manageable, and as soon as -they felt their
,power, became so boisterous and outrageous as to dis-
turb the company in Gloucester-house with their in-
reasant.noiecs, from 11 o'clook till near 3 in the mom-
ing. Nor was this all: avenues being blocked
up by the immense multitude, there was at last scarcely
any posSibility of ingress or egress.for their visitors,so
that the suite of moms, which, without this impediment,
would easily have accommodated all the guests in suc-
cession, were too small for the whole assemblage col-
leeted together at once. The consequence was, that
from the heat and confusion, several •halies fninted.—
The constant attentions, however, of the Duke and
Duchess, who remained conversing with their guests
to the last, served to alleviate this untineseen incon-
venience. The dresses of the ladies mere all new, and
.are deseribetl as having been particularly splendid. All
the refreshment that fragrant plants and flowers, to-
gether with the most grateful viands, could afford,
was supplied with equal profitsion and taste. The Du-
chess of Glocester bad recovered from her fatigue suf-
ficiently to attend Covent-garden theatre on • Fritkiy
evening in company with the Duke.
THE PRINCE OF HESSE HOMBOURG'S TOUR.—llia
Serene Highness left the Queen's Palace on Friday
.week, between three and four o'clock in the morning,

Satusday morning early, his *serene Highness sailed

was conducted over the -Pump-rooms, and several pub-
lic buildings, and,.after dining at eight o'eloek, his
Serene Highness left'Bath, travelleanli night, and ar-
rived at Windsor -Castle about half-past ten o'clock on

way to Calais. They arc expected in London, either
on Wednesday, or Thursday next, at farthest. A num-
ber of the domestics of his Royal Highness arrived at
his house in South Audley-street, on Monday.
