11th day being St. George's Day, her MAJESTY
held a Drawing-room, for the purpose of receiving
the congratulations of the Nobility on the birth of
his Royal Highness the PRINCE Rnesoir, who corn-1
pletes his 56th year on the 12th of August next,l
ibut whose birth-day is henceforth to be publicly ce-
lebrated on St. George's Day. At noon the bells of
London and Westminster rang a merry peal, and at
one o'clock the Park and Tower Guns were fired on
the occasion.

The Paris Papers of Mondiy arrived this morning,
but, except the continuation of the Trial of the Mur-
derers of FUALDLS, in Which we do not observe any
new feature; their columns are quite barren of in-
terest to the English Reader.

The Flanders Mail of this morning brings the fol-
lowing intelligence :

', BRUSSELS, APRIL 18.

" Mr. Lamb, English Minister to the German Diet,
has arrived here with his suite from Frankfort, on his
way to London. Mr. Temple remains at Frankfort
as Charge d'Affaires.
" In the Sixteenth Sitting of tke German Diet, the
President develored the motives on which is founded
the wish already expressed in most of the notes rela-
tively to the formation of two Committees for the
discussion of the military relations, and proposed a.
Resolution which was adopted unanimously.
" Count Galz, the Prussian Minister, proposed for
President of the Military Committee Baron Wessen-
berg, Privy Counsellor to his Imperial Majesty, who
possesses in an eminent degree all the qualities ne-
cessary to this function, and desires that the Emperor
rriay‘bo requested to approve of this choice. All the'
votes being in favour of the proposal of the Prussian
Minister, the Count of Buol-Schaunstien declares,
that his Majesty having been already informed that
the greater part of the Legatiodi would have parti-
cular satisfaction in acceding to this choice, he had
authorized the Presiden. t of the Diet to communicate
to it his consent on this subject."

Our Readers were long ago informed that the
United States had set up a claim against the KING
of NAPLES, demanding indemnity for American pro-,
petty confiscated in the Neapolioui ports, during the
leign of Munir. For some time a correspondence,
which has been published, was carried on by Mr.,
PIN XXIX, the late Ambassador to the KING of NA-
VC Es, and the Marquis Ds essests.o, the Minister of
the latter for Foreign Affairs; .but without any com•
plction favourable to the views of the AmericanGo-
v.ernment, vho, aw.r.e. of the poverty of fist Neapo-
litan 'freasury, would have condvsccackd to acceptor
the bland of Lampedusa as an equivalejat for the rob-
beries complained of. The argument of the Marquis
Ds Csacru.o is simply this:—The KING of.NArLes
did not rot; you—you were robbed by a Usurper;
who also robbed the very individual from whom you
would demand redress. You shall not get it from him.
Seek it from the real robbers, if you can find them.

We have received at a late hour to-day Philadel-•
phia Papers to the 18th March. They contain a
very long Manifesto, addressed to the Nations of the
World, by
.the general Constituent Ctimgress of the
United Provinces of the Rio de la Hata, exposing
the treatment and cruelties they have suffered from
the Spanish Government, and the causes which im-
pelled them to declare their independence. We 'shall
give some of the more remarkable passages of it to-
morrow.
