HANOVER, AUGUST 17.

The young Princess of Cambridge was yesterday
baptised by the name of Augusta, Caroline, Charlotte,
Elizabeth, Maria, Sophia, Louisa.

1-I.4mxualali, AuGusx W.—Exchange on London, 37-1 37-4.

A Private Letter received this morning from Paris,
-slated Saturday, mentions a report in circulation there,
that the King of SPAIN was a prisoner, and that he
had attempted to escape during the night, but with-
out success. No date it mentioned, which renders the
rumour very suspicious.

A considerable difference in opinion is said to exist
among his MAJESTY'S Ministers on the subject of a
successor to the late Marquis of LONDONDERRY, both
as the Representative of England in the approaching
Congress, and as Manager of the House of Commons.
Lord LIVERPOOL warmly espouses the interests of the
Hon. FREDERICK ROBINSON, Treasurer of the Navy,
for the former appointment, from a conviction that he
must have acquired a knowledge of the tactics re-
quisite to form a Member of the Holy Alliance, having
been bred in the school of CASTLEREAGH, and. acted
as his Secretary and principal adviser, whilst the Noble
Lord followed the armies towards the close of the
Continental War. All dispatches bearing the sig-
nature of Lord CASTLEREAGII were written by that
Gentleman. The highest patronage in the State,
however, opposes Lord LIVERPOOL, and, as is usual
with a Cabinet so constituted as the present, his in
fluence must prevail in enforcing the claims of the
Duke of WELLINGTON for this dignified mission. Mr.
PLANTA is likely enough 'to accompany the Noble
Duke. The office of Manager of the House of Com-
mons will for the present remain in abeyance—but in-
trigue to obtain the aid of talent of a higher character
has already commenced. We do not, however, credit
all the reports at present in circulation on this sub-
ject. The appointment of Mr. PEEL as Foteign Se-
cretary, and Lord COLCHESTER for the Home Depart-
ment, continues to be considered certain.—Morning
Chronicle. •

An accident happened at Holyrood Palace, on
Thursday last, which had nearly proved dangerous
to die KING. As his MAJESTY was descending the
inner stairs towards his carriage, which awaited for
his return to Dalkeith, he mistook one step, while
conversing with Sir WM. KEPPEL, and was in the
act of falling, when he was withheld by Sir HILGROVE
TURNER, who stood nn one side. His MAJESTY cor-
dially thanked the Knight fur his prompt assistance,
and good-humouredly said to him—" You have saved
the KING—I did not observe the step !"

Hyde Park, lately so animated with elegant com-
pany and brilliant equipages, gave evident proof yes-
terday of the emptiness of the town. Not a single
carriage or horseman graced the Ride, and only a few
persons, apparently from the country, appeared in the
Promenade to take a passing glance at the statue
erected in honour of the Duke of WELLINGTON.
The Duke of DEVONSHIRE has left his seat in Der-
byshire, for Lismore Castle, Ireland.
Earl GOWER left tow° on Saturday for his father's
(the Marquis of STAFFORD) seat, Dunrobin Castle,
Sutherlandshire.
Mr. and Mrs. LONG WELLESLEY POLE and family
left the Pultney Hutel, Piccadilly, yesterday, for Calais.
Lord and Lady HOWDEN have arrived at their seat,
Grimston Hall, Yorkshire, from their house in town.

South Vales. The Fame, CLARE, was lost coming out of Table
Bay ; the Purser and some of the passengers drowned. The *Co-

We have received New South Wales Gazettes to
the latter end of February. The only infoimation they
contain is, that the rains have commenced at last.

Thetwo Fr ench vessels Vigilante and L'Ursule,which
were captured by the beats of his Majesty':: ships
Ipsucemn, Sir N. MENDS, and MYRMIDON, Captain
LEEKE, after such a severe contest, in the River Bonny,
have been released, and sailed from Portsmouth, on
Friday, for Cherbourg. The one which put into
Plymouth (La Petit Betsey) is also ordered to be sent
to the same port. It appears unaccountable that these
vessels should be restored, after having been captured
five degrees to the northward of the Line,with several
hundred slaves actually on board, and so trading (as
has always been understood) contrary to express
treaties. Now, our Government will have to pay to
the captors about £lO a-head as bounty money for
each slave, and most probably be obliged to give to
the owners of the vessels as much money for their
cargoes of human
.flesh as they would have realized
for them in the West Indies, had the vessels reached
those Islands (which was physically impossible) with
every individual slave on board. The breach of faith
in the due observance of the Slave Abolition Treaties
(as they are called) by France, Spain, and Portugal,
as well as the abuses so early introduced, and so
fatally generated in the Courts of the Mixed Com-
mission, at Sierra Leone, were fully exposed by the
dispatches of the former most excellent Commander
on the African coast (Sir GEORGE RALPH COLLIER,
Bart. K.C.8.), laid before Parliament in the last Ses-
sion, and which excited the most lively and philan-
thropic feeling among all ranks of the Legislature,
and produced the memorable decision and Address
to the KING of the 28th of June last, which speaks
so clearly and manfully, and so firmly, the wishes
and expectations of the country upon the slave cause.
Letters from Argos, received by the way of Corfu,
announce the arrival of the American frigate Con-
stitution, which had landed an Agent of the United
States at Hydra, in the month of June. • Ile proceeded
immediately to Corinth, and signed there, on the 16th
of July, a Treaty of Alliance and Commerce with the
Senate. It has been since sent to Washington for ra-
tification.—The Greeks cede to the Americans for
twenty years, the Island of Milo, in the Archipelago,
and the port of Lepantum. America pays them in
return a large sum•of money, and provides them with
arms. This is the first aid the Greeks have received
from a Christian Power.

By an arrival from Havannah, at Charleston, it is
stated that the Coronation of ITURRIDE, as Emperor
of Mexico, was fixed for the 24th of June, for which
ceremony preparations were making on a scale of
extraordinary magnificence. The whole cost was
estimated at a million of dollars (above £200,000) ;
and the Cortes had authorised ITURBIDE to raise this
,um in any way .he thought proper, but-it is hinted
that the procedure would be attended with sonic
hazard. The Emperor's party is said to be declining
in strength, and is represented to be principally com-
posed of soldiers, who are paid for their ciles of
1.4),ig live the Emperor." Some of the Deputies
of the Cortes have withdrawn themselves from that
body, and many individuals of the greatest influence
in Mexico had retired from the Court in disgust ; so
that appearances threatened a change unfavourable to.
the continuance of Iruasing at the head of affairs.
LorcfHol.L4ND. entertained a select party'of his
iriends at dinner yesteiday, at Holland House.
