THE PRINCESS OF WALLS

Mr. ARBUTHNOT, .seeing in his place an Ho-
nourable Gentleman who had given notice of a mo-
tion forao-morrow relative to her Royal Highness the
Princess of Wales, begged leave in the name of a
Noble Friend of his, to say that his Noble Friend, un-
derstanding that it was nor intendad, under the pre-
sent circumstances, to press any business of import-
ance, had communicated that intention to many Ho-
nourable Members of the House, and he, therefore,
begged leave to request the Hon. Gentleman to post.
pone his motion.
Mr. METHIJEN declared that he should he most
happy if the requested delay were of an auspicious
nature. He W3S sure, indeed, that any delay mnsr
be favourable to the object which he had in view,
because the more the subject was considered, the.
more evident would the necessity appear for doing
something to ameliorate the situation of her Royal
Highness, by affording her an allowance more ade-
quate to her rank, and placing her in other respects
in a condition different from that in which she now
found herself. He had no objection whatever to
postpone his motion to Monday.
Mr. WHITBREAM reminded the Hcinourable
Gentleman that Monday was a day fixed foe a mo-
tion by an Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Wilberforce)
on the Abolition of the Slave- Trade. Although he
need not say that he partook of the Honourable Gen-
tleman's selitiments as to thtshope that any delay
might prove auspicious, yet lie must observe, that it
was a subject which would not admit of touch delay.
It would be highly improper to delay the moti,at
untilliftur the nest drawing room. He did not .see
why the Honourable Member might ni.t t..ke posses-%
sion of Monday, that if the Honourable Member for
Bramber should nut bring forward his motion he
might proceed with that of which he luid given notice.
Mr. AR BUT HNoT suggested Tuesday.
Mr. TIERNEY protested against postponing the,
motion from to-morrow. It did not appear to him
ti be at all necessary to the accommodation of the
Royal and Illustrious Personages now in the country,
that the Chief Ministers of the Crown should be run-
ning about with them wiiithersoever they went. Ho-
lidays had been given on the occasion to most of the
public schools, and' now it seemed a 4oiiday. was to
be given to Parliament. What necessity was there,
because the merchants of London thought proper,
very handsomely and munificently, to give. a dinner
to the Royal StratTers, that the Noble Lord should
withhold his attendance from that Hpuse. -He (Mr.
Tierney) took it..that the subject about to be brought
torward by the Honourable Gentleman was one of
the most important that for many years had been.
agitated in Parliament ; and he contended, that it
ought not to be treated in such a way :411 must render.
all duc dischssion of it impossible. On Tuesday the
review at Portsmouth would take place, and after
tha: other occupations of a similar kind ; so that it
the fianourableGentleman's motion were not brought
on by'Monday ne7ir, it must he put off till the week,
after next, and he..should be glad to know what at-
tendance was then to be expected in Parliament
Mr. Al? PI ITHNOT denied having stated, as a
moth,: for postponing 'the motion, any engagement
of his N• plc Ffiend's. What he had maid was, that
imagining no business of importance was to be dis-
cussed under tilt- present circumstances, !iis Noble
Friend had signified that understanding to many Ho-
nourable Persoi!s.

' Mr. CA LC it: Fl' thought it would be expedient
to defer the discussion of the subject until the week
after next. He &tiered altogether tram his Honour-
able Friend (Mr. Tierney) in supposing that the at-
tendance would then be thin. On the contrary, as
tiler: were so many great questions to be considered,
he was persuaded that the attendance would be full.
Mr. WHITBREAD observed, that the motion to
be made by the Honourable Gentleman, although
extremely important in its natufe, was not likely to
extend to such a,length of discussion. as that respect-
ing the abolition of the Slave Traife: why not there-
fore fix it for Monday, in order that, should the tlcs.
nourable Member for Bramber not persevere' in his
motion, the Honourable Gentleman might bring his
forward?

Mr. CALC R AFT deprecated the uncertainty
which would be produced by letting.both the motions
stand for the same day. He was happy to see the
Honourable Member who had given notice of the
motion respecting the Abolition of the 'Slave Xrade
in his place, and he would take the liberty to entreat
him to postphne his notice.
Mr. WILI3ERFORCE said it certainly had been
his intention to bring forward his motion an Monday.
He was extremely desirous to do so, and he knew it
would be extremely inconvenient to many Honour-
able Members if he did not. When he .1)4 given
the notice, he had observed, that he did not think the
motion was likely to lead to much lettgth of discus-
sion, but that if it did, he should have no (dejection
to adjourn it. Under these circumstances,, he mt.
doubtedly wished to bring it forward; he would.
be the last man in the world to stand, in the \V ,y
any other arrangement which the tiouse
expedient.

Mr. METHUEN expressed his anriety to nice:
the general wishes of the House. It by any tettipat
delay it were to be supposed that his motion %mac'
go off entirely, nothing on earth would tempt him tu
postpone it tor a sirigie day ; and he would not now
consent to defer it, mita it was distinctly und..rstond
that it should be duly discussed, un_ I ess sot It at range
ments should happily take place as might tea ler 11,41
disciission nntteces,:try.
Mr. TIERNEY thonght that the Noble Lord win,
wa-. in the house yesterday, when the ctinver.46.ll,
took place between the Secretary at \Val ain't hirpselt
respecting the postponement of the Army Estimates,
might have taken the opportunity of s i);11.; that
which Ise had now sent down the Right lloooutahlt
Gentleman to say for him. if the I:otiniirahn
G-trtlettian's ttu.tir,n were nr.r bioiTht on 1. utcl-1

row. it could net be brought on for a considerable
time: On Monday se'nnight the Treaty of Peace
was to die discussed. On Tuesday, after the long de.
,bate of the preceding night, nil much attention could
be expected to another question. Fur WednescLiy,
it was wet). known that questions of great public im-
portance were always fixed. He implor.d the Ho-
nottrable Gentleman to press his motion to-morrow.
It was the day'ior which he had urginal y given his
notice—iv was the day on all accounts the most pro-
per. If the Noble Lord, whrse Wrest had been
made by the Right Honour&ble Gentleman, had in
the most distant manner lainted'that it wrs the inten-
tion of his Majesty's Ministers to take the pleasare of
his Royal Highness the Prince Regent on the impor-.
cant and interesting subject which the H(an,,ur ,ule
Gentleman meant to bring before the Kiuse, he
shobld he one of the first to recommend- him to an.
stain from his motion ; but as nothing (4 the kind had
taken place, he begged of him not to be a party to
any procrastination.
Mr. METHUEN and screral otheillembe:s rose.

The SPEAKER said that the H(.n. Gentleman
vas master of his own ni lice. He mast chome tor
himself, and make that choice known to the House.
Mr. METHLTEN then fixed on Tuesday.
The Irish Auction b.ll, and the Irian Land Burniug Blli, went
through Committees, the Repot:* of which wire ordered to bt
received to-morzew.

The Highway Bill was real a third time, but, at the suggtt.
don of Mr. H. SIM N au, the farther ptoceedinp were adjogracd

PARIS, JUNE IS.

The processions of the Fete Dieu, whic,h had been
25 years discontinued, took' place yesterday in the
differeht parts of Paris. They were equally edifying
and imposing. In the streets through which they
passed, the inhabitants had decorated the fronts of
their, houses. All the populatiOn of the capital had
assenbled to assist at this Christian solemnity, and
never was there mote perfect order and decency.

41 At the Theatre Feycleati, on Saturday
Louis XVIII. • made his fins appearance. He sat

the coutse of the night. The King, vitu always
stood up to receive :sod acknowledge the congratula-
tions of his people, seemed greatly touched by their
enthusiasm—and his emotion reactng upon their's,
produced new testimonies of affection.' The coin-
parbion was in every body,: mouth, between these
spontaneous marks of attac,hment, and the coutrot
applauses extorted by the Police under Bonaparte.
—The music and acting at this Theatre are both so
good, and the size and form of the hoes itself so
agreeable, that no wonder it is a favourite with the
Royal f ami]y, and particularly with the belles of
Paris, who in the best boxes are visible from top

“ Yesterday was devoted to the Fete de Dieu—A
procession designed, wt must suppose, to comfort the
Parisians for shutting up their shops. That measure
has excited incosceivible discontent k but this giddy
people will soon perhaps think no more of it.”

Every body here,begins tb breathe again. The
