Yesterday morning, at three o'clock, Lieute-
nant-Colonel Prott, the Duke of Cambridge's
Equerry, and 'Lieutenant Edward Hall, R. N , ar-
rived at Lord Castlereagh's house in St. James's
square, with dispatches from Mr. Rose, the Bri-
tish Minister at Berlin, announcing the accouche-
?aent of the Duchess of Clarence, and that of the
Duchess of Cambridge, at Hanover. A little be-
fore, eleven o'clock yesterday, the Officers waited
upon the Prince Regent at Carlton-house, with
letters from the Royal Dukes to their brother,
stating the interesting events. Colonel Prott and
Lieutenant Hall proceeded from Carlion-hOuse to
York-house, with letters to the Duke and Du-
chess from the Royal Dukes ; and from York-
house they proceeded to Glocesier-house, with
similar co.nmunications to the Duke and Duchess
from their Royal brothers.—The nccouchement of
the Duchess of Cambridge took place at the prin-
cipal Pei ice at Hanover, on Friday morning, the
26th of March, at 3 o'clock, when her Royal
Highness was safely delivered of a fine boy, by
Dr. Leine ; the Royal Duke, the Duke of Cla-
reuce, Lord Mayo, and Mr. Rose, the British
Minister at Berlin, being also in attendance. Col'
Prott was sent off at 8 o'clock on the same morn-
ing, with tidings to the Prince Regent and other
branches of the Royal Family in England, and
the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, that
the Duchess and the young Prince were doing
well. It will be learned with concern, that a less
favourab:e report has been brought respecting the
Duchess of Clarence, she having been attacked
with an indisposition on Monday the 22d of
March, which coutinaed upon her Royal lligh-
ness during the whole of the week, for which it
was deemed necessary to bleed tier several times;
this caused a premature accouchement, and on Sa-
turday mornilig, the 27th of March, at half-past 6
o'clock, her Royal Highness, attended by Dr. An-
drew Holiday, gave birth to a female child. The
infant lived till one o'clock, and then expired.
The Duchess was very unwell after the birth of
the child, and in that state she continued several
hours to such a degree that considerable danger
was apprehended. Her Royal Highness, how-
ever, being pronounced better at 4 o'clock, Lieut.
Hall was sent off with dispatches to England. At
that time it was hoped the Duchess would do well.
Lieut. Hall procee4ed to Helvoetsluys, where he
Came up with Colonel Prott, who had been de-
tained by a foul wind. The officers afterwards
travelled together to England. After their arrival
yesterday, to announce the accouchements of the
-Royal Duchesses, the Duchess of Gloucester and
the Duke of York waited upon the Prince Regent
at Carlton-horse, as did Count Munster, the Ha-
uovetian Minister, No public: rejoicings had
taken place at Hanover, in conseqnence of the
continued indisposition of the Duchess of Cla-

reuse.

Ai ENTS.

diency of the Resumption of Cash Payments at the period
fixed by law, and into such other matters as are connected
therewith; and to report to the House suck information re-

lic interests, with their Observations thereupon,—

after the approaching recess.

The Committee having a confident expectation that, in
that Report, they shall be enabled to fix a period, and re-
commend a plan, fur the final removal of the present Re-
striction OR the Bank, think it their duty to submit to the
[douse, that the execution of any such plan would, in their
opinion, be materially obstructed and delayed by a conti-
nuance of the drain upon the Treasure of the Bank, on ac-
count of the enzagement of the Bank to pay in Cash all its
Notes outstanding, of an earlier date than January lst, ISI7,
and on account of the payment in Cash of fractional sums
under 51.:

That the Committee therefore think it their duty to sng-gest
to the House, the expediency of passing forthwith a Bill, re-
straining- all such payments in Gold Coin, until the Report of
the Committee shall _ have been received, and e:tinsidered by
the House, and a legislative measure passed thereupon.-

THE REVENUE.

The statement of the Quarter's Revenue, Avhicli closed on
Monday last, was last night laid before the House of Com-
mons and ordered to be printed. We understand it proves
the gratifying fact, that though there has been some deficiency
under a few of the heads, an improvement on the whole has
taken place upon the produce of the corresponding Quarter
last year, which was of itself greater by 739,00101. than the
April Quarter of the year preceding. The El itish Revenue
in the April Quarter of the year 1817, appears, by the 11th
Report of the Finance Committee, to have produced
9,510,0001.; that of the Quarter ending sth April, 1818,
10,249,0001. While the Quarter which expired on Monday
has produced no less a sum than 10,482,000 h
