Mr. TIZRNEY's Motion for a Committee to enquire
into the propriety of abolishing the Third Secretary
of State, came on last night, and was negatived by a
great majurity.• It appeared that the business of the
Colonial Department has of late year► been greatly
increased by the acquisition of new possessions and
the necessity of watching over the due execution of
the laws for abolishing the Slay., Trade t and it•
ought, at the same time, to be recollected, that the
business of the Home Department, to which is was
proposed again to transler the Colonial concerns, has
also been so greatly increased, by riotous proceedings
in different parts of the kingdom, that, kneeler p►s-
sible it way be at some future period, to unite these
two departments, at present the policy of such a mes-1
stare May be very much doubted.
On the second reading of the Salt Duties Bill, Mr.
Cut.csu►rr withdrew his opposition to it, and ex-
pressed his conviction that next Session. would put an
cud to the tax on this commodity Altogethers •

A Mail from Hamburgh arrived last night. A
letter in The Correspcodent, dated Algiers, 191 Fe-
bruary, states, that the activity of the Dri has wholly,
repaired the damages sustained by the attack of Lord
EZMoUTU. The principal loss sustained Was in the
pirate fleet and the batteries, for it seems that the arse-
nals, the magazines and workshops, the ammunition,
stores and provisions, escaped almost entirely. The
fortifications are noi► stronger than before, and the
marine,. by purchases and newly built vessels, is in-
creasing abolition of Slavery is laughed
at by the Algerines; sot they can go to war when,
and with whom they please. and to them it is a mat.
Ter of indifference whether they call their captives
slows 'or prisoners of war.
The Trade and Coral Fishery at Bona, which wits,
rented by the English from 1806 foe 50,000 hard
piastres, has been offered to the French and Neapoli-
tans on the same terms; bat the French, who at a
former period bad the privilege fqr 18.000, have not
yet accepted the offer.
Though cern is abundant in the country, the Div
prohibits its exportation, wishing first to see the affair
of the Bona fishery settled—perhaps foolishly per-
suading himself that there is such a scarcity of cern
in Europe, as will induce France to accede to his •
high demand, for the purpose of obtaining wheat 1
Denmark adopts at a part of her policy, and it has
been found highly beneficial—the principle of a free
trade in corn. The balance in her favour on the corn
trade is stated, on an average of some years, as
4250,000 sterling.
The Swedish Secretary of State has Culled on the
Merchants to -say, *hit Bdlsif Exchange.on Los:

lotted for the purpose can supply, those are to have

The Paris Papers of Sunday arrived this morning,
bilt ate wholly barren of intelligence. Madame
D'ASGELY, %ViioSe arrest we noticed yesterday, is the
wife of the celebrated RI:GNAULT DE ST. JEAN DIAN-
on; who, it will be remembered, was President of
/ItsAraara's last :limber of Deputies, and went
afterwards to America.

M. Locos arrived a few days since from Rome,
and will, it is said, return again immediately. His
Hok9ip the Pore has of late been seriously indis-
pose , nd it may not be long, it is thought, before
the Chair ol St. Peter is again an ob;ect of competi-
tion, in which case, M. BI ACAS may be found not to
have betn journeying in vain.
A Paris Paper contradicts the report of the Prin-
cess of WA iss's intended retnrn'to her villa, on the
lake 01 Como; and affirms, on the ae'hority of pri•
vate letters from Munich, that she will be in Paris
before the Ist of May, and will svjonrn there for some
weeks.—French Funds, 27th inst. 67 1.

The following Bullet.n w'as shewn, yererday,

convenience from it; but, on going up to her Ur .1W

against the edge of a stone stair, and thus rendered

to produce much lever.
Report says that it was not the indisposition cf h,
DIAJttaTY ..lone that prevented the Drawing-Rdooi
the 23d instant; but that the remonstrance of a
t.neign Potentate in favour of an illustrisus Lady
had its influence on the occasion. Nothing but the
circumstance of that Lady's not having been yet pre-
.ented at Court has kept 11'4 from going abroad with
her Royal Consort.
The Princess CiLtaLorre abstains from all crowd-
ed assemblies, and lives entirely at Clermont, on ac-
count 01 her interesting situation. But she has invited
a select party to pass the anniversary of her hams
marriage with her on Friday next. She gives some
music on the occasion, and has Madame FODOR, Mr.
'and Miss NALDI, to sing for the entertainment of her
gucsis.

rand pending marriage between Earl Peace and

NMI Pence, Lord Cum Lord JAMES MURRAY,. the
Bishup of Wont:INTIM, Lord PRUDHOR, Sir WATKIN
and Lady HARKINT WYNNI., and Mae CORNWALL.
At bait-past eight o'clock the nuptial ceremony took
place, and was performed by the Bishop of Woa-
CaSTIM. The bride was dressed in a most beautiful
sprig Blusstls point dress, richly :rimmed with nit
Macklin lace, over a slip of ribbed white satin ; her
head.dress was elegantly neat, without any profusion
of brilliants. She were a diamond necklace, dia-
mond ear-rings, diamond bracelets, and white satin
sheet. The elegance of her dress was in unison with
her symmetry and beauty. Her appearance was
highly interesting. At nine o'clock the happy couple
and suite left Northumbes land House, in two car-
riages and four, for Sion House, where they will pass
the honey-moon.
Tux MA RCHIONISS 00 AIIRRCnRN'S mag-
nificent Waltz and Quadrille Ball was given, in Suet-
totd•place. on Monday etiening, to a select circle of
distinguished fashionables. The state apartments
were more than usually brilliant, being lighted up by
Grecian chandeliers and Roman lamps ; the first
'composed of the purest chrystal glass, the last of or-
isois and bronze, exquisitely sculptured. Dancing
'commenced at half past eleven, with quadrilles, led

At half past two, the company sat down to supper
in the Marchioness's sitting.rnom, which adjoins the
principal drawing room. Here covers were laid for
150 persons. The entertainment was sunipiuous in
the extreme ; plate and the richest china glittered in
every diricion. The Patrice REGINT was of the
party. Also the Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND.
Duke and Duchess of WILLINGTON, and the Donal
Asmassazion. Dancing recommenced with waiters,
%bid; were kept up with uncommon spirit till hall-
past lour o'clock. . .
Mrs. HILL, from the Belfast Theatres made her
first appearance at Drury lane last night, in the cha-
racter of Lady Noche* which she sustained with a
degree of ability and spirit that promise to render
her a favourite of the public. Her unite is good, her
conception correct, and her general manner sufEcientl y
effective—she was very deservedly applauded through.
