HER ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCESS
CHARLOTTE.

We mentioned yesterday the ♦isit of her Royal
Highness the Princess of (VALES to the House of
Commons, en Tuesday night ; but the rumours con-
nected with this were so various and contradictory,
that we thought it best to refrain from all notice of

them till we should learn something respecting the
real facts.

The public already know, that one, if not the prin-
cipal cause, of the breaking off of the intended mar-
riage between the Princess Ctimmorre and the He-
reditary Prince of ORANGE, was the reluctance of'
her ROYAL HIGIINESti to be taken out of England.—
This matter has, of course, caused much embarrass-,
ment to all the parties, and no small degree of un-
easiness and agitation ; and is supposed to have had
some connection with the circumstances we are about
to detail.

On Tuesday evening his Royal Highness the PRINCit
REGENT, accompanied with the Archbishop of CAN.
TUMMY. waited on the Princess CHARLOTTE. at
Warwick House. when she was informed that Miss
KNIGHT, and all her Household, as well as all the
servants attending upon her, were dismissed—and
that her Royal Highness should forthwith take up her
residence in, Carlton House, (and Crvnford L•Age)
whither the Countess Dowager of ROSSLYN, the Coun-
tess of ILCHESTER, the two Miss COATES, and Mrs.
CAMPBELL, then in the next room, were in readiness
to accompany her; and that her Royal Highness was
in future to be under their superintendence, without
whose knowledge she was neither to receive visits nor
letters.

Her Royal Highness quitted the room—descended
the back staircase with rapidity, darted through the
kitchen, proceeded up Cockspur-street into the Hay.
market, and threw herself into a hackney-coach at
the stand opposite the-Opera House, whence she drove
to Connaught House, the residence of her mother.
The Princess of WALES was absent, but a groom
was dispatched to Blackheath, to request her imme-
diate return to town: The Groom met her Royal
Highness on the way, and deliveted the Princess
CHARLOTTE'S note, acquainting her with the event;
upon which the Princess of Wailes drove to the Par-
liament House, and eagerly inquired for Mr. WRlT-
parAtt, who was- absent—and for Earl GRIY, who
had left town several days before. She then went on
to her own house at Connaught-place, where her
Daughter communicated the particulars we have
stated ; and where Mr. BROUGHAM, who had been
sent (or to Mr. MICHAEL AMMO TAYLOR'S, had
arrived.

The flight of the Pan:Vital from Warwick-House
was soon made kngwn to the PRIIICI Raman% at the
Duke of Youn's, where a great party were assembled.
Notice of it was also sent to the Quart, who had a

card party, and which she instantly left. A Council

was called, sal Lori El.l.lle3oaoUOß and Lord EL-
tioN were consulted. Rumour says, that a Habeas
Corpus was to be issued to bring back the person of
her Royal Highness to Carlton-House. But the
Duke of Yonc and three other Gentlemen went
to Connaught-House; and stated to her Royal
Highness her father's commands to conduct her back.
Mr. BItOtXXAM had previously acquainted her Royal

It would be improper in us to offer any remarks an
events which will probably be noticed in Parliament,'
or be brought in some authentic shape before the
public. We cannot, however, refrain from observing,
that, in the circutnttinces in which the Princess
Cuaas.oxxx is placed, ei►ea people of maturer years
and greater experience would be much perplexed how
to act. We can conceive nothing *more distressing
to a mind endued with sensibility, than to be com.
pelled to make an election as to the particular object
and measure of her filial affection.

To-day we have received Paris Papers of Sunday!
and Monday. The Moniteur of Monday contains at
length the new Swiss Constitution: it is founded
'upon the principles of independence and liberty, for
which the Swiss Republics were formerly so cele-
brated in the annals of history.
From an article undir the head " Rome" in the
Journal let Debate, and thence copied into the Mcni-
teur, it would appear that King JoACHIM NAPOLEON
MVRAr sits very insecurely upon his throne: we in-
sert the article at length—it is a curiosity, and is the
forerunner, we have no doubt, of the restoration of
the legitimate Sovereign of Naples. Waar is at
present threatened by the POPE, and reminded in
pretty broad terms of the slippery tenure by which
he holds the Sovereignty of Naples.

An article from Madrid states, that the King has
seriously directed his attention to the disturbed state
of South America. He has invited such Metnbersof
the Cartes as were Deputies from America, to give in
memorials and ,:,*et: for the better Government of
that country.

Circulars have been sent to all the Spanish Pro•
vinces, requiring a list of the pictures and other mo-
numents of art, of which they have been robbed, in
order to make a formal dethand for restitution at
Paris.

The Marqnis ALMV44IIA, late Prime Minister*,
JOSEPH BONAPARTIN has written from Paris to say;
that he is willing to restore those pictures which were
entrusted to him by his late Master, and which were
stoke from the Royal Palaces in Spain. Three beau-
tiful pictures by RArst,w, one by Tmax, and a
Holy Family, by Munii.t.o, are among the valuables
which AINENIRA Ofrvri :0 give up.
The Duke of Sl'. CA nos, Spanish Minister for
Foreign Affairs, and M. Lase/soon are to represent
Spain at the ensuing Congress at Vienna.
The King of FRAACt has permitted the free expor-
tation of gold and silver, coined and uncoined, sub-
ject merely to certain slight custom-house regulations
This is a most judicious measure; the preamble to
the Decree is worthy the attention of all our politi-
cal economists.—a We have ascertained," says his
Majesty, that all the prohibitions of the exportation
of gold and silver are of no avail in preventing it, and
have no other effect than that of fettering commerce
and hindering the entrance or transit of the said ar-
ticles, so that such prohibitions far from increasing
the quantity of gold and silver, tend on the contrary
to make them disappear and diminish their quan
city," &c.
