ROME, JULY 4.—The Princess of Wales has quitted Pesaro.
This sudden and romantic departure has given ril4: Oa thousand
conjectures. Her
,fellime de Chanare obtained passports for
Letself and one of her friends ; and it is of these passports the
Princess has availed herself. her Equerry, Fisuchini
followed her. Her Royal Higlinms has ta'scn the road towards
Bologna ; some persons suppose that she sill return to Pesaro.

On the ere of St. Peter's day, the Pope, actoiding to ancient
custom, made a solemn protest against the non payment of tri-
bute from the Duchy of Parma. as a fief held of the church,
and also against the neglect of tie Ring of Naples to fulfil the
formalities due limn him as a vassal of the Holy See. The Am •
bassatlar. of NaR/es absented himself from Rome. as usual, on
that evasion.

The mountain has been in labour, the mouse has
been produced ; the meeting in Smithfield, under
that superior blackguard Hunt, has taken place—has
passed resolutions,—and thanks to the prudential
precautionary measures that were taken, the ex-
pectations of the promoters of the meeting have
been disappointed; neither murder nor pillage has
been allowed for a moment to stalk about in derision
of law, honesty, and respectability. We have,
indeed, very little respect for the memory of that
servile, courtier-like Judge. Lord Ellenborough,
yet we may be allowed, in this age of parodies, to
gi,e utterance to. a parody on his exclatnation of
" Well, protest, and go about your business." If
these Smithfield Ilesolationists will " resolve and
go peaceably about their business," really only those
whose poor-rates may Li increased by the •' greasy
rogues" neglecting their labour have u right to com-
plain. In another part of our Paper will be found
the particulars of ►ile proceedings of these " Radical
Pe:imams."

The Prince Regent held a Conrt on Friday, which
was numerously attended. General Nightingale
was introduced and invested with the insignia of
the Order of the Bath. Bartht Just, the Saxon
Minister, had the honour of an audience of his
Royal Highnees. The Prince Regent afterwards
held a Privy Council at which Sir Samuel Shep-
herd, the Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer in
:Scotland, was introduced, and sworn in a Member,
and took bis seat at the board accordingly. At the
close of the Council, the Recorder of London was
introduced, and made his report of the convicts ca-
pitally convicted at the last Session, at Justice-
ball, in the Old & iley. The Court broke up a
little. before 6 o'clock.

Prince Leopold's grand party on Thursday night
was attended by the Priuce Regent, the Duke and
Duchess of Kent, the Duchess of York. the Princess
Augusta, the Princess Sophia, the Duke and Duchess
of Glucester, the Persian Ambassador, and a very
numerous assemblap of nubility and gentry. The
decorations were splendid : the entertainment was a
anwert, followed by a supper. The concert was
given in the principal drawing-room, where one of
the great objects of observation was a full length
portrait of the late Princess Charlotte.

The five Persian students scut into this country
for improvement, by their Prince, will embark in a
few days, upon their return, after a residence of
three years- in England. One of them, Oostude
Multommed Ali, is united to an English lady of ta-
lent in the arts, a Miss Du3ley, who aacompanics
her husband to Persia.

It is given as a rumour from Brussels, that the
recall of the Belgian Ambassadors from the Courts
of London, the Tuileries, and Madrid, was owing to
a determination of the Flemish Government to
employ only Charges d'Afaires in future at the
above Courts. The determination assigned to the
Court of Brussels would be impolitic; and we are
consequently disposed to consider the report itself
untrue.

The Flanders mails inform us, that the Prince
and Princess of Orange have arrived at Spa.

A Berlin article asserts, thnt some recent mea-
sures which have been taken in Prussia and other
parts of Germany, for an investigation into the
proceedings and objects of certain secret societies,
were prompted by the receipt of positive evidence as
to their treasonable nature. The complete p!an of
a republican constitution for the Germans has,
according to this account, been seized; and although
the students of the several universities are suspected
to be more or less implicated in them, tie suspicions
of Government ate not confined to :he students.
