Despatch from his Excellency the President of the AulicA
Central Commission of Organization, to his Excellency

Count Saurau, Governor of Milan :

" After the information communicated by your Excellency,
respecting the application of the Princess of ‘l'ales, that some
persons of her suite may be permitted to wear the Decora-
tions of Orders conferred upon them, it has bey) resolved, in
concert with the President, &c. &c.
That permission cannot be granted to the Austrian Subjects
to accept and wear the Decoration of the Order of St. Caroline,
instituted by the Princess of Wales ; and much less, that of
the Holy Sepulchre, which is conferred by the Franciscons of
Jerusalem. And still less can permission be granted to the soi-
disant Colonel Bartolomeo Bergami, to use the title of Baron
della Franchina, assumed by him of his own authority, and to
wear the Cross of the Order of Malta, unduly acquired : inas-
much as both for the one and the other, it was necessary
to obtain the Sovereign authority of his Imperial Majesty as
Sovereign ; in addition to which, the Commendavor of the
Order of Malta, Basco, has already received from the Lieute-
nant of the Grand Master of Catania, an injunction to recall.
the Bull of the Order from the said Bergami. All this consi-
dered, it will remain for the prudence of your Excellency, of
which we have had frequent experience, to make known this
determination in the most proper manner to the Princess of
Wales, as to what respects the wearing of the said Decorations ;
and as to what relates to the using cf the title of Baron, as-
sumed by Bergami, to enforce, in case of need, the existing
Laws.

PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT.-The Parlia-
ment assembled yesterday. At three o'clock the
Loan CHANCELLOR, attended by Lords CHOI,
MONDELEY and MELvit.LE, the three Commis-
sioners, entered the House of Lords. The Yeo-
man Usher (Mr. QuAaME) summoned the Com-
mons. Mr. W. LEY (in the absence of Mr.
IticKmAN, who is out of town,) and other offi-
cers of the Commons, appeared below the bar.
The LORD Cit tscELLoa said, that they, as Com-
missioners, were authorised to declare the Par-
liament, by Proclamation, to stand further pro-
rogued till Tuesday the sth of February, and

then to meet " for the dispatch of business."
The KING is expected to return to Carlton Pa-
lace on the Ist of February. It is said that his
MAJESTY will not reside permanently in town,
but will occupy, during the summer months, his
favourite cottage in Windsor Great Park, and
come occasionally to the metropolis, as State Af-
fairs may require.
WINDSOR, J.N. 1.-This being the first day in
the new year, her Royal Highness the Duchess
of GLOUCESTER arrived at Frogmore from Bag-
shot Park, on a visit to the Princess AUGUSTA.
Her Royal Highness returned in the afternoon to
dinner.
On Wednesday Mr. PHENISEY, Messenger to
the British Embassy at the Court of Vienna, ar-
rived in town with despatches for the Marquess
of LONDONDERRY, and was likewise the bearer
of dispatches for his Highness Prince ESTER..
HA Y.

Lord GWYDYR has returned from Brighton to
his house on the Terrace, Piccadilly. Some new
arrangements in the House of Lords, previous to
the opening of Parliament, for the reception of
his MAJESTY, Will, it is said, take place, under
his Lordship's direction.
The question, who is to fill the President's
Chair at the approaching election, is already agi-
tated in the United States. Mr. CRAWFURD and
Mr. ADAMS are the two candidates who seem to

have the best chance, and from the movements ob-
servable in the Southern Provinces, it is expected
a great stir will be made in favour of the

-ormer.

Ma. PLUNKT:TT.--We have had ,some informa-

tion lately, which almost warrants us to assure
our readers, that ere next Term, the Right Hon.
W. C. PLUNKETT will resume the high station of
Attorney General, which he formerly occupied
with such honour to himself, and advantage to
the country.—(Freeman's Dublin Journal.)
FEMALE INTREPIDITY.-011 Saturday night
last, about half past ten o'clock, as Mrs. Clarke,
grocer and tea-dealer, Newcastle-upon-Tyne,
was going to her" house in Hillgate, Gates-
head, when she had proceeded about half way.
down a dark passage leading thereto, and was
within a few yards of her own door, a fellow
seized her by the neck,and laying hold of a reticule
she had in her hand (which contained her watch,and
a considerable sum of money), after a severe strug-
gle he tore it from her, leaving the strings with the
lady. Mrs. Clarke called loudly for assistance,
and even followed the fellow up a flight of steps
to the head of the passage,but no one appeared,
except an old woman with a light, by which it
was discovered, as the depredator made his
escape, that he was dressed in a blue jacket.
The spirited resistance of Mrs. Clarke was not,.
however, without its effect ; the man being alarm-
ed, had thrown down his booty in the passage,
where both the reticule and the whole of its con-
tents were fortunately found. Mrs. Clarke, we
are happy to say, is' no way injured, except a
little stiffness in one arm, ariing from the struggle.

THE MARBLE HEART.
W hen love's first flush came o'er my heart,

'Twas when thy beauty seized it ;
Nor bath it let that flush depart,

Although thy coldness freezed it.
Thou stood'st before my, wondering eyes,
A shape of magic lightness,
And, in my midnight dreams, did rise
Army'd in fairy brightness.

But cold, cold, cold, the marble stone
Not snowier, and not colder ;
A glory to be gazed upon.
That chill'd the charrosd beholder.

Against thy charms 'tis vain to war,
'Tis vain to try resistance ;
The kneelers in thy temple are
All kept at holy distance.

But "mow—for bards may speak the truth—
And list the voice of reason,
Though fair the rose-bud be of youth,
'Tis only for a season. .

The chilling .winds of winter haste ,
O'er time's rough ocean hither,
And, like the weeds upon the waste,
The fairest rose must wither.

HUNTING INTELLIGENCE.
Lord Bolkeley's hounds turned out a fine dear on Tuesday,
at Iver heath, which chewed great sport the day being fine,
a good field of sportsmen. attended. Lora Bulkeley, accompa-
nied by his brother, hunts with his own hounds. The 'deer
took at first towards Cowley, and Arlington, making a double
back by Colnlyrook,-and Langley, towards Slough, taking to
the left down towards Eton, wliere the water is out very mile's.
This fine hind took the water, and swam across to the Windsor
side ; the Park wall being washed down with the flood, she
swam through, and-along the buttons of the slopes till she came
to Mr. Ingall's gate, where it was open for her to get to dry
land. By this time Lord Bulkeley had come round to the
Dairy Cate in the little Park ; the deer was so much done up:
that Lord Bulkeley took her immediately. This deer had swam
miles in the water bcfore She was taken. She was put in a place
in the King's dairy yard, till the cart took her away. The wa-
ters are much' lower.

A worthy Overseer of a respectable village in Gloucester-

Laving subjected himself to a charge of murder, in consequence
of a slight inattention to punctuation, in sending notices to the

and to the Surgeon to el:amine its mother. The following are
literal copies of each notice :—To the Coroner: " Dec. 21.

KINGSTON, (U. C.) OCT. 19.—1 n looking over
an old publication, we lately met with a descrip-
tion of the battle of Queenston, from which we
have extracted the following paragraph
44 General BRocx, the gallant conqueror of Detroit, has-
tened to the spot, and with the flank companies of the 49th
regiment alone, for some time resisted the whole American
force. This spirited conduct, fatal as it was to himself, was
eminently serviceable to his country. It afforded time to Gene-
ral Sheaffe, the next in command, to assemble his troops, and
make those arrangements which ultimately ensured victory.—
General Brock fell like LEONIDAS, and doubtless, 7-e the
Grecian hero, his name will ever live in the grateful remem-
brance of his country. So to fall is more glorious than his
former triumph , it will be recorded on that monument, which
the national gratitude will doubtless raise, not less to do him
justice, than to incite others to similar efforts of heroic duty."
The monument here alluded to has since been
erected by England, " conformably to a vote of
Parliament, as a perpetual record of the houour
attaching to the name of BROCK." But while
this just tribute has been paid to the worth of
the deN'oted General in the Parent State, what
has the Colony, in whose defence his life was
sacrificed, done in honour of his memory ? Alas!
his remains repose, not beneath the monument in
Saint Paul's Cathedral, nor beneath any similar
monument in this Province. To our um:peakable
reproach., they lie neglected in a corner of a crum-
bling fortress on our frontier. In the year 1815,
it is true, the Legislature of this Province, enter-
taining a very estimable sense of the services of I
that " truly illustrious Commander," who " after
having atchieved the most splendid actions, de-
voted his most valuable life" in defending the
soil of Canada against a very superior invading
force, determined to- erect a monument to his
memory, as a " public and lasting testimonial" of
general respect and gratitude. One thousand
pounds were voted, and placed at the disposal of
three Commissioners, gentlemen of the highest
respectability, yet though six years have elapsed
since the appropriation, unexpected difficulties,
of which we know not the precise nature, have
hitherto prevented the intentions of the
.Legis-
lature from being carried into effect. The Sa-
viour of Upper Canada, he who rescued us from
the exterminating Republicans of the 'West, and
rolled back the tide of invasion, lies in the fne:ui

while unhonoured under the sod which his valour
preserved. We do most fervently wish that our
fellow-subjects may no longer have cause to blush
for their monstrous ingratitude. We trust the
reproach will be removed by the speedy erection
of some " public and lasting testimonial" of our
regard for the services and memory of our la-
mented Defender. Perhaps, in the present state
of the Provincial Funds, it cannot be expected
that the monument.will be immediately erected
at the public expence, even on the supposition
that the obstacles which have beset the path of
the Commissioners were removed. We, there-
fore, with deference, suggest the propriety, and
indeed, if we value our reputation, the necessity,
of accomplishing the object by private subscrip-
tion. Let meetings be simultaneously called in
every township or county, and subscriptions be
collected from all persons disposed to contribute
to the erection of a monument on Queenston
_

heights, or any other fit place. Let the money
so collected be applied in the manner contem-
plated by the Act of Parliament, and we venture
to say the stigma now fixed on oar character
would be most satisfactorily rem6ved. A monu-
ment thus raised by voluntary subscription would
be far more honourable to the country than if erect-
ed by a vote of the Legislature, and, notw ;distant!.
ing the pressure of the times, we may safely rely
on the veneration in which the name of Uuocx
is universally held, for most ample funds. To
ensure success it is only necessary that men of
zeal and of influence in the country should in-
terest themselves in the work.

Sir Gro. QuEvirs, and the other officers of the
oth Royal Hussars, are among the select invited

to the evening parties at the Pavilion. His INIA-
Jr.iTY honoured his favourite regiment by wear-
ing his elegant undress uniform at the consecra-

tion of the Itoyal Chapel on New Year's Day.
Letters from New York mention that Mr.
WALLAck has had his leg amputated below the
knee.

ANECDOTE.—" In 1742, WILLIAM PULTENEY7
who, a year before, had been the most violent
and popular Patriot of modern times, had dwin-
dled into the Earl of Rill!. Sir ROBERT W. U.-
PoLr, when forced to retire with the Peerage,
had laid this trap for his antagonist, and the
greedy Patriot fell into it. On their first meet-

ing, after their respective mils up stairs, Lord
01IFORD said to Lord BATH', with a malicious
good humour, ' My Lord, you and I are now
the two most insignificant fellows in England.'"
Box MOT.—In the same year Lord PAor.F.rr
moved an Address to the KING not to visit his
Electoral Dominions, and was made on the 2-ith
April, but with so little approbation, that his
motion was not seconded, nor his speech answered.
Mr. LEGG c said pleasantly on this occasion,
" Poor Lord PAuLr.TT has had a stroke of apo-
plexy, and has lost both speech arid motion."
WITTY Cow.tun.—A French Marquis having
received several blows with a stick, which he
never thought of resenting, a friend asked him,
" How he could reconcile it with his honour to
suffer to pass without notice ?" " Poh !" replied
the Marquis, " I never trouble my head with
any thing that passes behind my back."
On Tuesday mornin, " early, as the Dover
mail coach was going down Bridge-hill, be-
tween Canterbury and Dover, the reins broke,
and the horses, being then at liberty, ran
on a bank close to the side of the road, by
which means the coach was upset, . and the
coachman and two guards thrown to some
distance. The coachman and one of the guards
(the- latter belonging to the foreign mail) were
left at Bridge, so much hurt that they could
not be moved. The guard belonging to
the mail received but little injury ; he, with
two passengers that were inside, and who escaped
unhurt, proceeded to Doyer in another convey-
ance,
