COUNT CIA DAN.
Mr. BiNNETT raid, that it might be in the re-
collection of the House he hail, a few weeks ago,
presented u Petition from ail individual of ancient
family and large patrimony w Cephalonia. Count
Chelan, complaiiiiiig of the c loci of General
Campbell, Governor of the Wand. about three years
back. in unduly influencing a Count of Justice,
where a cause of the Petitioner's, involving teal pro-
perty to a considerable al tttttt id, had been depend-
ing, and absolutely commanding it to give a deci
siou against him. In austere to the allegations of
the Petition, it hail been Theis said, that a stranger
appeared as the accuser of aii officer of rank and
distinguished merit, in a place where he had no
upportnnity of defen.iing himself. !however, it was
his opinion that Parliament should be always open
to the cries of the oppressed—and he was satisfied
that a pi ;nia facie c ire had been made out to en-
title the Pei itioner to apply iii the first instance to
his Majesty's Goverameni, and on failure of re-
dress from them, to the !louse of Commons. The
statements of the Petition might be divided into
two parts—the first part relating to what Count
CI .disio himself had suffered ; the second to the
presetting of the people, of whom he was one. What
Count Cladino himself had to complain of was the loss
of property ti: a great extent, occasioned by General
Campbell's interferew e with the tribunal, and
peremptory direction of a decree against him, not
according to the law of the country, but in the terms
of a judgment drawn up by himself. Lieutenant-
General Campbell had thought fit to issue that de-
cree, and to determine there slionl,l be no appeal
from it. From the year lals to the present time,
Count Clarion hail made repeated applications to
his Majesty's Gorman-tent for relief, and he had re-
ceived many civil letters lions then., saying, they
would inquire into the case, but nothing more. The
Meiiber then alluded to the case of tialtriges v.
Mosso, that the Plaintiff, an inhabitant of Minorca,
a dependency of England, had a right, as a subject
of the King, to maintain on action for injurious
treatment in an English Court. He then described
the immense expense that would be occasioned to
the Petitioner, by compelling hint to bring over
his witnesses, to the number of toe, to this coon.
try. The Hon. Member afterwards adverted to the
severites alleged to be inflicted on the rest of the
population. The General had, st his own will and
pleasure, inflicted corporal punishment. There
was evidence that he had caused an inhabitant,
whose offence consisted in stealing some spirits, to
be mounted on a mule, and bastinadoed three
times round the town ; and that when the flog-
ging was over, the sufferer scarcely possessed
strength enough to be removed to the hospital.
lie had banished soother individual to St. Moore,
an unwholesome island, by his own authority—and
with no better title, had imposed pecuniary fines.
The Petitioner had knocked at his door a perfect
stranger, and presented hiin with a bundle of pa-
pers containing the particulars of his case, and the
evidence on it. By the advice of his deceased
friend, Mr. Ponsonby, he had read them ; lie had
no interest whatever in the loather ; he was not
acquainted with General Campbell ; his only moa
tive ita taking up the business was, to rescue the
character of the country from the imputations of
iiidifference and apathy to the distresses and oppress
sinus of her dependauts. The people whose cause
lie advocated were not represented in the House,
and were on that account the more entitled to their
protection.—( Hear . hear.)_ Hr then moved—

respondence between the Secretary of State fur the CoWahl
Department, and Count C.laden, relative to the conduct of

The question having been put on the motion—
Mr Cosutusitt said, it was naheruming • Member of
Par'lenient to give the weight of his authority to the es poet
allegatioas of a stranger against a meritorious British Os-
ter. As be had said when the subject had been before intro.
dueed, Parliament was out the place to which Comet Clad*n

bete would willingly entertaiu the affair, sod ►ender justice
to both sides. He could say so touch without entering low
the niceties of the law, or the details of the transaction.

their being able to re-appear in the field ; an that

NARIZIAGE or TUN DUKE AND DUCHESS
OF'CAMBIUDGE IN ENGLAND.

The formal Marriage waa postponed a few days,
of the amiable Royal Pair, the Duke and Duchess
of Castnatunr, the former being generally be-
lur~d in England, the latter has brought her
amiable qinilitics and virtues to England, by all
those who, have any knowledge of her Royal
on account of the indisposition of the
QuEga ; however, on Saturday, it affords us great
pleasure to say, her ftlooesTv was 60 much reco-
vered, as to he sufficiently al►le to appOint yester-
day for the solemnisation of the marriage, ac.
to the form and ceremonies of the Church

coiding t.
of England, mud the proceedings of State, and in
adddion to the state of her Mascser on Saturday
we have the Ildppiness to say Sir HERR* HALFORD
reported her yesterday to be pinion; strength daily.
Tht official notices were isaned from the Queen's
Chamberlain, at the Lord Chamberlain's office, on
Saturday morning, for the Royal attendants. the
Archbishop of CANTERBURY, the Bishop of LON-
DON, and other distinguished characters, who are
necessarily called upon to attend at this nod
similar solemnization of Royal marriages, including
the Cabinet Ministers, &c. Tlw great Officers of
State were not summoned upon the occasion, it be-
ing the QUEEN'S particular desire to be present on
the occasion, which was so ar►anged that there
should be as few persons present as po,aible, that
her MAJESTY might experience as little fatigue as
the circumstances would admit of. Oil the LORD
CHANCELLOR ►eceiving his notice to attend yester-
day at five o'clock, his Lordship replied he could
not attend at that hour, but would attend at two
o'clock ; and in con►equence of the accommoda-
tion of his Lordship, the hour of marriage was
changed from five o'clock to two.
The room fixed upon in the Queen's Palace for
the marriage ceremony to take place, was the Blue
Room, or Queen's Dressing-room, where Messrs.
FRANCE and BANTING, the Royal Upholsterers,
fitted up a temporary altar, covered with crimson
velvet, but in a very plain manlier, without ally
ornaments, or any of the Royal Communion Plate
from the Chapel Royal and Whitehall Chapel, as
kid been the case at the late Royal marriages, it
being intended to be principally a party of the
Royal Family, with as few others as possible.
There were four seats and four cushions for the
use of the Royal Pair, the Archbishop of CAN-
TERBURY, and the Bishop of LONDON.
The company iuvited, consisting of the official
persons whose presence were necessary upon such
occasions, and the Royal attendants, began to ar-
rive at the Queen's Palace yesterday, soon after
one o'clock, and consisted of—
The Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Liverpool as Prime
Minister; Viscount Sidmouth, u Secretary of State (or the
Home Department; Viscount Castlereagh, u Secretary
of State fur Foreign Affairs; the Bishop of Loudon ;
Earl Morton, the Queen's Chamberlain ; Edward Disbrow',
Esq. M. P. Vice-Chamberlain ; the Countesses of Pembroke,
Harcourt, Macclesfield, and Ilebester, Ladies of the Bed-
chamber; the Maids of Honour ; Mr. Rooke, and Sir T.
Peelle', Gentlemen Ushers of the Privy Climber ; TI6O.
man Gore, Esq and George N. Vincent, Esq. Geatlensen
Ushers Daily Waiters; Earl Winchilsea, Groom of the
Style to the King ; Lord John Thyme, his Deputy ;
Lord Arden and Lord St. Helens, Lords of the Bedcbamber

twit, Grooms of the Bedchamber to the Kisig; General !Hau-
liers, Principal Equerry and Clerk-Martial to the King ;
Generals Gwynn, Garth. Cartwright, Sir Brent Spencer,
&ovules to the King; Major-General Taylor, Private Se-
cretary to the Queen ; Colonel Stephenson, Master of the
Household at the Queen's Palace and the Windsor Es-
tablishment, and Secretary to the Groom of the Stole;
Lady Anne Culling Smith, lady of the Bedchamber to
the Duchess of York ; Lady Isabella Thysine, Lady C. W.
Betrays, Lady Mary Taylor, Lady Elizabeth Montague,
and I.ady Campbell, attending the Duchess of Gloucester,
and the Prismesima, and Miss Dee, attending the Princes
Sltuphia of Gloucester, Miss Heidintau, attending the
Dnehess of Cambridge.
There were also present Count MUNSTER, Col.
UPTON.

The Doke and Duchess of CAMBRIDGE, accom-
panied by her Royal Highness's father, came in
state, with four footmen to the carriage in new state
liveries : they arrived three minutes before two
o'clock. The Royal Doke wore his field-marshal's
uniform, with the Order of the Garter. Tile
Duchess's dress was cf silver tissue : the petticoat
hail two deep flounces of tieh white lace.
The Duke of CLARENCE accompanied the Duke
and Duchess of voRK in their carriage.
The Duke and Duchess of a_Loticestßit came
together.
The Princess SOPHIA of GLOUCEETSR was ac-
companied by her female attendants.
The PRINCE REGENT was the last of the Royal
Family who arrived, with three footmen behind his
carriage, in their state liveries. His Royal High-
ness was dressed in as field marshal's uniform, with
five brilliant orders. His Royal Highness, we were
happy to observe, appeared in excellent health.
About the time the PRIDES REGENT arrived,
Mr. Nlctlnt.Ls, the King's Proctor, entered the
Palace, and announced that it was impossible for
the marriage ceremony to proceed then, as the
Archbishop of CANTERBURY will hot come, nor
would his Outer be there, as he had not been in-
formed of the hour of marriage being changed frotn
'five o'clock ; and another insurmountable diffi-
culty to the proceednig with the marriage was, the
royal license was not ready, nor would it he so
MI five o'clock.; he therefore desired an inter-
view with Viscount SIDMOUTN, which having ob.
Word, the difficulties of the
.Learned Gentleman
were 'found uut to be dispesesed with ; the perform-
ance of the ceremony was therefore adjourned till
five o'clock.

remony, which was witnessed by the REGENT, in
the name of the KING, also for himself as PRINCE
REGENT, also by the QUEEN, and the other
branches of the Royal Family.
As soon as the criemonv had concluded a signal

In the evening the PnINCE REGENT gave a grand

THEATRES.

DRURY-LANE.

Mr. KEAN last ii lit made his first appearance,
as King Jobe, in SHARSPEARE'S historical play of
that name. This cffort has not added much to his
reputation. There are but two scenes—that in
which the English Monarch incites Hnbert to the
murder of Prince Arthur, and the interview iii
which he reproaches his agent for his alacrity in un-
dertaking so infamous a deed—that are Nt all suited
to the peculiar style of Mr. K eves acting. Those
scenes, particularly the first, he played extremely
well The rest of his peiformance presented no
particular beauty—and was passed over with little
notice. It would have been as well, perhaps, if Mr.
KEAN hail not mistimed the character, until all
recollection of Mr. KEstute's sustained and noble
dignity, in the representation of King John, had
faded from public memory. Miss MaCsvreY
sustained, fur the first time, the part of Lady Con-
stance. She acquitted herself ably. Iu the most
trying scenes she exhibited genius of a very com-
manding description ; her grief for the loss of
Arthur was finely expressed—it was highly wrought,
but perfectly free from extravagance. She received
the most flattering testimonies of applause. Mr.
WALLACR'S Falcoubridge was a tolerable good
piece of acting. His principal fault was, a certain
degree of flippancy, which is quite at variance with
the rough bluntness of the Bastard. Miss CARR,
who appeared as Prince Arthur, when she came
to leap from the prison wall, was terrified at the
height, and, after several ineffectual attempts to
muster courage for the attempt, retired, in conse-
quence of the cries of the audience, who were ap-
prehensive for her safety. She was obliged to make
her entrance from the wing, tottering as if she had
taken the leap. The effect was equally gold, and
all ttliager was thus avoided.
The tragedy was very well received.
We regretted, on entering the theatre, to peruse
the following notice:—
TIMMS ROYAL, DRURY-LAY?, MONDAY, JUNE 1,
18111.-.. The public me respectfully informed, that in conse-
quence of a severe accident baring befallen Mr. Johnstone,
the farce of The Review, announced for this eecnine, cannot

stituted.

hits ;" but the production last night of How to

former attempts. Its unexampled drollery, and
unparalleled magnificence, can only be surpassed
by acting equal to what we have seen in some of our

The new Satirical Novel, culled " Balk," which
has just made its appearance, forms n curious topic
fee conversation in high life. The story is founded on the
extraordinary occurrence which took placc some years since,
iu the families of the Marquis of and Lady Charlotte
W— ; the curious particulars of whirls are now, fur the
first lime, developed, and in the most ingenious manner.—
Like the former work of the same Author (Thomas Brown,
the Bidet), it abounds in humour, knowledge of the world,
and pleasantry, and gives the must moiling portraits of
nearly a huudicil persons, di•tinguiahcd in the Political,
Literary, or Fashionable World.

Cu.'s Offices, No. 1, Cornhill, and QUO, Holborn, are so well
known, from the singular instances of great Luck expe-

Public to make • Purchase at PIDIANG'S Offices.

It was griierally supposed that the approaching
dissolution of Pailintuent would have had the effet t
of depreciating the price of atie Funds, on account of
being necessary to have /Wean, to tholll, for the large puma
nertmerary for carrying on the Elections. This supposition,

quince of the near approach of Nievs. TIIIMILIAIf, when
