FRIDAY, MARCH 15.

Petitions against the Property Tax were presented from
Hanunersmith, Isieworth, Camberweli, and St. James's, West-
minster. 'by Mr. Ilyng.
Mr. Loeklewt brought in a Rill fur suspending, for the pre-
sent, the operation of the Insolvent Debtors' Act.--Read a first
time, and ordered to be read a second time on the Rd of April.
Sir S. Romibr v moved the third reading of the Shop-huhu:
kill ; and, in doing so, stated that there was at present, a boy
under sentence of death, whose age did not exceed 10 years;
the charge against him was shop. lifting and it was a very
considerable time since an one had suffered death for tltk
offence. He therefore did riot cousider that the life of this
juvenile offender was in ally immediate danger. lie could not,
however, help adverting to what had been stated itt the imhlie
papers, as having fallen from the Reeorder on his pronouncing
srntanm'e ou this boy, nameiy, that in future, oflenders of this
description, however juvenile, worth!, it' convicted, suffer the
'entente of the law.

The krron NEN' GENERAL had nn anthority, from any COM-
munication which he had with the Recorder of !Anibal, to say
that such a declaration had not been made by him but he was
persuaded that it had not, and that the statement originated
in some misreprehension of shat his learned and excellent
Friend had said.

After a few words from Mr. C. Smith and Sir S. Romilly, the
Rill was read a third time And passed.

MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCESS CHARLOTTE.

nt. VANSITTART moved the Order for taking into consider-
ation the Message of the Prince Regent, and in respect to the
intended marriace of the Princess Charlotte e,f Wales with the
Prince Leopoki George Frederick, of Saxe-Cohourg.
In a Committee of Supply, the Night Holt. Gentleman ob-
served, that having obtained with unanimity an Address to the
Prince Regent on the happy occasion, he should anticipate no
objrcti 011 to the proposition which he was about to make, for a
suitable establishment for their Royal Highnesses. The object
of the House would be, to make a provision for their domestic
comfort, commensurate with a becoming splendour, guided by
economy. In snlenitting the proposition, he had two objects
in view—the first was, to provide an aunual allowance; and,
in the next, though he should not move it ima.ediately, to pro-
vide for the outfit of their Royal Highnesses, so that every do-
mestic comfort should he provided, without the necca-ity of
subjecting them to incur debts. In the first place, then, it
was intended to allow their Royal Highnesses 60,0901. per
annum, inctielme 10,0001. for her Royal Highness's privy purse,
that stint to be voted for their joint lives. In the case of the
death of Prince Leopold, her Royal Highniss is to receive the
whole sum ; and in the other ease (either of which he trusted
would not happen), Prince Leopold being the xurvivor, he
was to receive a clear animal allowance of '.0,0001. lids ar-
rangement, lee trusted, world meet the wishes of the House,
and give satisfaction.--(Hear, near,)—lt was intended by this
arrangement that certain allowances received by the Princess
Charlotte, for the maintenance of her present establishment,
should be disconti 111 l ; this would he a saving of 30,0001.
per :imam. In respect to the proposed outfit, much would
depend in future upon their being able to set out clear of the
possibility ofdebts, or the necessity of incurring incumbrances.
To avoid these disagreeable alternatives, and prevent a recur-
rence to Parliament, on account of the accumulation of irrc-
gidarh expenses. it was proposed to give their Royal HUI-
. !tosses one year's allowance, 00,0001. calculated thus : 49,0001.
• for the providing of eat riages, horses, wines, tic.; fur dre•s,s,

possi* to sele t a residence proper and becoming for the
future Sovereigngof these realms. When, however, one slion:d
be selected, it mitt be possible that another appal tiou would
be made fur fitting it up ; and he did not doubt that Parlia-
ment, with the sante liberality they had shown in aereeing to
the Address, and would she w to the present pr 0 po• i t ion .
would evince their loyal affection in granting a farrher sum for
tiernishing the house, fie. The Right Hott. Gentlemau then
moved,--That an annual grant of no,otial. he made out of the
Consolidated fund fur the eatabliaiment of their Royal High-
IICMSCS the Princess Charlotte and Prince Leopold, ac.
Mr. TiEl! NEI.- had no hesitation ins adding' his congratulation
on the present occasion. and giving his vote for the sum pro-
posed, which he hoped was agreed to by the Royal Persons as
a full equivalent for their wants. He hoped they would ad-
hem to economy, as that would be the purest means of obtain.
lug the future favour of the House. Wititrespect to the ait,teml.
Mr the use of Prince Leopold, in the event of his surviving his
Royal Highness, which he hoped would not turn out to be the
fact, he entirely approved of that provision, Its all flutist, who
cad heard of his amiable character, a character Minch entitled
him to the confidence of the country, and which he was sure,
tends large they would not think ton large.

On bringing up the RepiWtei the Supply,
Mr. C11.(11.11 r renewed his objections to Fn force a vote,
especially in t espect to the amount ot cavalry, which he thought
too large for the purposes of preventing FlntigUlene. He re.
commended the reduction of sliest of the slat) corps, the wagrple

without losing eight of him, and gave him orders to quit
the road in two hours. He made sail for Martinique.
On his arrival there he was thrown into pr►.son, with all
his crew. His Anson for going to Martinique was, that
Admiral Linois refused to give hint any orders, or even
any advice.
The instructions of M. Micas to M. Linois were then
read, dated Ghent, April fB, desiring, " that no new
wee should be allowed to land at Guadaloupe; and that
the authority should not be resigned to any one, without
nn express order from the King, countersigned Blacas

The benefit of the King's Declaration of Amnesty
wus also claimed for the prisonrs.

Upon these points the lawyers for the prosecution de-
scanted and disputed at great Tength, in continued Sit-
ting, till half-past six o'clock in the evening of the Bth
iostanf, when the Cu-titer proceedings were adjourned to
ten in the morning of the 9th.
hi the Sitting of the 9th inst. M. Moreau de Joannes
(franerly Aide-de-Camp to Gen. Carru St. Cyr, when that
General was Governor of (i hyaline), gave an account of
the events which occurred before the 18th of June at
Gailahiupe. It was on the 16th that un attempt was
mode tea hoist the tri-coloured flag on the fie of Fleur
d'Epine. In the evening of the 17th alarming rumours
were spread respecting the public tranquility, and the
personal safety of the Admiral. In the evening he went
to Adjuvant Commander Boyer, but could not see him ;
but was apprized that a detachment of horse had set out
far Basse Terre. M. Buyer was encamped during the
night :it Beau Soleil. The population had flown to arms.
M. Boyer,—during the 18th, all was tranquil at Point.
a-Petre. In the evening only, the troubles broke out.
M. Moreau only spoke to the report ; he could not at-
tend to circumstances.—Other officers deposed to the
same effect; and the Court adjourned.
The trial dosed on the 11th day ; when the Admiral
was unanimously acquitted, and set at liberty. Boyer
was as unanimously found guilty, and sentenced to suf-
fer death ; which sentence was announced to him that
night, in the prison of the Conciergerie.
Pau's, Mallen 9.—The out graph of the testament
of Louis XVI. which was found in the national archives,
was presented to the King on Saturday, by M. Winne,
the new archivist.

The magnificent theatre of St. Charles, at Naples, has
been reduced to ashes. There was in the theatre a leaden
cistern, in which the oil for the use of the house was
kept : the wind blew a spark from a lamp to the interior
of the cistern, which its an instant was converted into a
dreadful volume of flame, exhibiting a striking resent-
blanee to an eruption of Vesuvius. It is imposible to
calculate the consequences of the combustion, hall not
prompt and efficacious means been employed to extinguish
and arrest the progress of the flames. The Austrian
troops, commanded by Count Nugent, who set the ex-
ample, were of essential service, and strenuously second-
ed the exertions of the Neapolitan troops and the inha-
bitants. The King and Prince Leopold displayed the
greatest coolness and intrepidity ; they remained close to
the flames, and did not depart till the danger was over.
The royal palace, very near to the place where the fire
happened, was saved, apparently by a miracle, from total
destruction. The flames consumed every thing, and
ashes now indicate the spot on which stood the largest
and most beautiful theatre in Europe. The persons who
were in the building had time to save themselves from
the fury of the flames.
ROME, FRB. 21.—A Society having manifested an
intention to place in a public situation a bust in
bronze of the Pope, his Holiness refused this homage,
tviying, " After my death, if the people regret me."
