Of the 22d Sept. 15!9, B4 f. —c."

Letters received this morning from Paris state,
that Louvel, the Assassin of the Duke de Beam,
had committed suicide, by means of poison. The
letters also state, that Baron ROTCHSCHILD,
who recently met with an accident in that Capital,
still remains dangerously ill, and his medical
attendants became alarmed for his ultimate
recovery.--Tl►ere is nothing in the Paris Papers
to sanction the report of Louvel having commit-
ted suicide.

THR FUNDS.—Some observations made in the
House of Commons last night, respecting the de-
ficiency in the Consolidated Fund, have had the
effect of casting a heavy gloom upon our Funds
this -morning. Consols opened at 68ii, and the
Market looks exceeding heavy at that price. Se-
veral respectable Brokers have sold largely.

It may be necessary to observe, that the She-
riffs are responsible for any delay.ibat may arise
in the sending Writs for Election of Members of
Parliament; and therefore that no time should
be lost in making known to the General Post
Office the places where the business of the Shrie-
valty will be carried on, in order that the Writs
may be directed accordingly. Complaints against
Sheriffs, for their omission of dssties, are not pass-
ed over unnoticed in the House of Commons.

BOROUGHS OF MONTROSE.—It iS said that Mr.
Hurstc is to be opposed in these Boroughs, as he
was brought in by what was deemed the radical
interest, that is, chiefly by the lowest orders of
the People, and the higher classes feel the dig-
nity of the constituent body to be deeply con-
cerned in their Parliamentary Representation.
Yesterday the KING received vista from the
Dukes of YORK and SUSSEX, the Duchess of GLOU•
CASTER, Prince I!ROPOLD, and the Marquess of
CHOLMONDBLEY.

The Duke of YORK returned to London from
Oatlands on Sunday evening.
We are extremely happy to say, the report of
the state of the Duchess irfllk's health yes-
terday was, "her Royal Highness is better."
Yesterday morning the Duke of CLARENCR left
town for Bushey Park. His Royal Highness re-
turned to town in the evening- to his residence in
the King's Palace, St. James's, and accompanied
his Duchess to dine with time Duke and Ditches,
of GLOUCESTER, at Gloucester-house,
Prince LEOPOLD left Claremont on Sunday
evening for the King's Palace at Kensington, on
a Visit to the Duchess of Kent his Royal High-
ness afterwards proceeded to Marlborough-house,
Pall Mall. Last night his Royal Highness went
to liine with his afflicted-sister at the King's Pa-
lace, Kensington.
Yesterday, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council
was held at the Foreign Office, which was at-
tended by all the Cabinet Ministers. The Mem-
bers of the Cabinet remained in deliberation till
past four o'clock.

The three Captains of the- Bth regiment of
foot, who were lately dismissed the service, have,
by order of the Commander in Chief, been di-
rected to be placed on full-pay, several circum-
stances having since appeared to warrant re-
voking the sentence.

Upwards of four tons of dollars' and as many
tons of hags of silver, which arrived yesterday
morning at the house of Messrs. RoTuscHtLo
and Co. were sent in the fotenoon to the Bullion-
Office at the Bank.

MR. TIERNEY'S SPEECH,
LAST NIGHT, IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.

[From the Morning Chronicle.]
Mr. TIERNEY declared his unwillingness to vote. any stale
or the Queen, until some explanation should he given or
promised as to the rumours which had gone abroad with re'
spect to her conduct and character upon the Continent. He
agreed with the Noble Lord in thinking this a very delicate
question to he discussed in that House. But, by whom Or
it brought into discussion ? Why, by Ministers themselves,
who, although they deprecated the discussion at present'
held out the prospect of some such discUssion at a ay
tune—[Here Lord Castlereagh intimated his dissent.]'
" Then," said Mr. Tierney, " I mistook the Noble Lord;
and that mistake is an additional reason with me for re-
sisting the proposed grant." Si) it seemed that there was
to be no discussion at all upon the conduct of the
Queen, after all the world had heard about that con"
duct. Yet it would appear that her Majesty was tot,
to be recognized. He would ask the Noble Lord, wile-
ther any thing like recognition had taken place, or we.
meditated ? Was the Queen yet aware of the death of the
King, or of the situation in which she stood in consequence
of that event ? Had any communication been made to lief
Majesty upon the subject on the part of his Majesty's Mioir
tern?—How came it that the name of the Queen was omitted
in the Liturgy; or what was the reason for such omission?
These things required explanation. But from the whole of
the circumstances connected with thii transaction, as well
with regard to his Majesty as with regard to his Consort, bc
had .no hesitation in stating, that the King had been betray'
ed or the'Queen had been insulted.—(Hear, hear, hear!)-•
As an honest Member of Parliament, he felt himself called
upon to make this declaration. He was not actuated by tor
party motive or personal prejudice whatever, but he would
repeat, that in this case, either the King was bchrayed or
the
Queen was insulted.—(Hear, hear!)—He had heard of re:f
moors with regard to the behaviour of the Queen, which,
true, could leave vo doubt that she was totally unworthy r°
occupy the Throne of England, and if so, the King was surell
entitled to the same justice that the law granted to the
owest subject, in relieving him from a degraded connexion•
This was a discussion into which he entered with tine utrue‘i
reluctance. He was fully aware of its delicacy, anti be could
not advert to it without pain, but he felt that he most do hie
duty. He had heard of a Commission having been sent to the
Continent, in order to collect evidence as to the misconduct -
of. the Queen ; and was it possible that the Noble Lord, *4°l
evidence in his pocket to shrew that misconduct, could 3t'
{pond
to apply to that House for any grant of public
ond
to an unworthy person ? This was really a case of such a or
titre as that House was bound to sift to the bottom, and if the
rumours in circulation were true, justice should be-promPtlf
done to-his Majesty; while, on the other hand, if the.
rumours were mere calumnies, no time should be lost in vie"
dieating the character of the Queen. One party or the
other roust have been grossly ill-treated. But when. lit
would ask, were the rumoured discoveries made with regard
to, the misconduct of the Queen ? Upon the death of the
Queen, about twelve months ago, the Liturgy was altered'
and on that alteration it was directed that the Princes.
of Wales should he distinctly prayed for. Yet, on th
late alteration of the Liturgy, the name of this Illustrious
Personage is left out. The discovery, then, of the acre!
misconduct must have been made within the last twelve
months, or whence the difference between these two period'?
Why was she to he publicly prayed for as Princess of Wale"
whose name was to bealtogether-suppressed when she becaale
Queen of England? Now the question was brought bet'''. e
the 1-louse and the Country, it must not be blinked, arid be
for one had no hesitation in saying, that if the Queen were
really guilty of the rumoured misconduct, no quibbles of 104
or quirks in evidence, should prevent justice from bei4
•immediately rendered tes the King.. But, on the other baud'
if the Queen were calumniated, he would have her character
completely vindicated, and all her rights asserted and rtia"°'
lained. But until her character were re-establishedn be
could not consent to vote her a penny of the public none,"
While the Noble Lord called her merely that " High ref:
sonage," instead of recognizing her as the Queen—while al'
Italy, nay, all Europe, was filled with rumours of her guilt'
and of official inquiries about it—while her name was omitted

in the Liturgy—while she was not acknowledged, I+4
not agree to vote her the means of maintaining herself; 11°1
the reasons for such extraordinary circuwstances as he liaj

recited should be satisfactorily explained. The thick cleoi
that covered this case must be removed—the deep mystery 111
►which it was involved must be unravelled, before his osill4

could be satisfied as to the propriety of the proposed grant'
He had every dispositio❑ to do justice to the Queen; and 11°

one would, perhaps, go farther to support her right, ►elitA
her innocence was established. He bad no personal know:
ledge whatever of her Majesty. He never received—be lief°
expected any favour from her. His object was to have her
case fully explained, from an anxiety for justice,"aud from
Solicitude to maintain the mural dignity and high eliaract4r
of the Monarchy of England./

KING OF PRUSSIA.—An article, dated Berlins
February 10, and contained in a Dutch papers
gives the following melancholy description of the
King of PRUSSIA :---" The King appears, from
time to time, extremely melancholy, and •I'l°
countenance seldom bears the expression of gaietYl
His Majesty speaks to only a few persons, 0,
M. Albrecht, his privatelSecretary, refers to 16'
Hardenberg the petitions addressed to the Sole";
reign. It is asserted that at times the mind 0
the King is so overpowered with nidanelialY,
that his-tears ate ready to flow. He would
wish that every body should be happy, and be
cannot help perceiving that his people are far
from being so. He has limited as much as vs'
sible the expences of his household, lbc
table" of a rich banker is served with more
Ivxury than his, and he has recommended a rigid
economy even in tire least important particular'
lie thinks to contribute to heal the wounds of
State, by thus setting the example of rigid ec°.
floury."

Letters patent have passed the Great Seal, re'
instating Messrs. FONBLANQIJE, JERViso and
THERELL, who had patents of pri,cedenCe, in their
filiner rank among his MAJKSTY's, Counsel;
within the Bar, which, owing to an otnission
Mr. PONSONBY's Act, they lost on the demise 01
his late MAJESTY.
