It is reported that Parliament will rise on the 2d
of June. There is still, however, much public busi-
ness to be dons ; but that of the Government is all,
in one shape or another, before the House, and may
be dispatched before that time. It is not therefore
likely that the Ministry will induce the Houses to con-
tinue sitting for the accommodation of the Opposition.
Mr. FERGUSON, of whom complaint has been made
in the House of Commons for corrupt interference in
the County of Lanark, respecting the approaching
igection, was last night, on the motion of Mr.
WYNNE, ordered to be committee' to Newgate.

The Paris Papers of Friday and Saturday have
arrived this morning.
_ _

The Trial for the Murder of FUALDES was con-'
eluded on the part of the prosecution on the 16th.
The Sitting was rendered interesting by the atten-
dance of M. FUALDES, the son of the deceased, who
summed up the evidence in a speech of great energy
and feelini„ and particularly contended for the guilt
of faussion. _ _

The Court was to proceed to hear witnesses on the
part of the prisoners on Saturday ; the pleadings
would probably commence on Monday or Tuesday,
and the trial may be consequently expected to be
finally concluded in the course of the present week.
Crowds of people are flocking into Albi to witness
these unprecedented juridical proceedings. The Count.
De STAKE4BOURG, formerly the ituisian Minister at
Vienna, was present on the 17th. He took Albi in
his route to Bareges.
The apparently interminable discussion on the
Budget still continues, without offering any thing
deserving of particular notice; if we may except the
circumstance, that at the Sitting on Friday last, al-
though there was a loud call, as usual, when the
dinner hour arrived, for an adjournment, the majority
of the Chamber had the resolution to sit nearly an
hour longer, to hear a very spirited harangue from
Count de la BOURDONNAYi on the abuses in the De-
partment of the Minister of Police.
The French Funds still continue remarkably on the

rise. Oa Friday they had reached as high as 68
francs 10 cents.

The insurrection at Ceylon is not, we are happy to
learn, so formidable as was at first imagined. By die:
patches from that island, dated 15th December, 1817,
it appears that in the month of September preceding,
a partial spirit of disaffection manifested itself in the
Provinces of Wellasse and Ova, within the Candian
territory, principally excited by a Malabar Chief,
who had collected an armed force of about two
hundred persons, and issued a Proclamation, stating
his claims to the Kingdom of Candy.
Mr. WILSON, the resident at Badulla, immediately
proceeded with a small military detachment, and
came up with a considerable party of the Insurgents.
Having unfortunately separated himself from his
detachment, in the hope of persuading the Insurgents
to disperse, he was attacked and killed on the spot,
and a servant who accompanied him received a
wound, of which he died next day. The main body
was, however, successful in dispersing the Insurgents,
and there was every reason to hope that their Leader
would soon be intercepted and taken.

Some additional files of American Papers have,
reached us, bat none of a more recent date than
those we have already announced. The question of
a war with Spain continues, we observe, to be the
grind subject of speculation in all these Journals ;
and, if we may judge from the tone of feeling dis;
played in them, there is no want of a desire on the
part of the Americans to push matters to extremities-
" If (says one Paper) the essential rights and so.
vereignty of the United States have been and continue
to be violated by Spain; if after long and patient ne-
gociations to obtain an adequate reparation for
these injuries Spain not only persists in refusing satis-
faction, but, from our forbearance, has of late added
nsolence to her refusal, will the honour of the nation
permit a farther continuance of this disgraceful ne-

- -
gociation ? Will not such. a continuance sink us
deeper in humiliation, and embolden Spain to rise
still higher, if possible, in the tone of contempt and
scorn? Rather than this, let our Minister in Spain
be recalled ; let all Futter negotiation, both there
and here, be broken off; let the whole subject _be
brought before Congress, and let them resolve to
truckle to Spain, or to prepare to vindicate the na-

tional honour.
" In such a war," it is continued, " we cannot pre-
sume that any other nation will interfere against us ;
nor doubt, that by the vigour of our arms, and the
favour of HEAvEN, it will be prosecuted to a speedy
and honourable issue. If Spain force us into this war,
let South America remember, that the enemy of her
enemy, is more than half her friend. That a general
sympathy, and universal good wishes in favour of,
the Spanish colonies, in the struggle with their unna-i
tur.:l parent, do exist, and are cherished throughout
1
the United States, and this too with unexampled- una-
nimity, no man who attends to what is passing around
him, will entertain a doubt ; and a'iy measure which
would promote their success,"without involving the
United States in great and complicated difficulties,
would be universally approved. But in the indul-
gence.of these feelings, we must be restrained by a
paramount duty ; the welfare and safety of our own
country, are the objects of our first and higher care ;
while the great interests and honour of the United
States are violated, it is to their vindication that the
Government should first atte"i; and no remote, or
mere collateral policy, should divest or withdraw its
regardefrom tl.is most urgent duty."

Last night the PRINCE REGENT had a dress party
at Carlton-House, at which the QUEEN and most of
the Royal Family were present, with a numerous
assemblage of persons of distinction. The brilliant
party began to assemble about ten o'clock, but such
was the crowd of carriages that occupied Pall-mall
and the neighbouring streets, that the whole of the
company were not able to reach Carlton-House for'
upwards of an hour after.
The Princess of WALLS has sold her estate on the
Lake of Como, and now resides about seventy miles
from Rome.

The Duke of KENT visited his Sister, the Queen
Dowager of WIRTEMBERG, before his last return u)
England ; he had not seen her for thirty-three years.
Her Majesty has much increased in size, and is
grown very like her Royal Father. She resides at
Louisbourg, a few miles from Stutgard, and seems
to be very happy.
The second son of Earl BATHURST has been dan-
gerously ill within these few days.
Yesterday evening the infant son of the Earl
MARCH was baptised by the Rev. Mr. GROVES, ail
the Duke and Duchess of ARGYLE'S residence, is'
Upper Brook-street. The Sponsors were, his Grace
the Duke of RICHMOND, the Marquis o/ANGLESIY•
and the Duchess of ARGYLE. After the ceremony,
their Graces gave a most sumptuous entertainment
to a party of distinction, including the Duchess of
RICHMOND, Lord and the Ladies Immo&

The Lona MAYOR called at Carlton-House yester-
daT, to pay his respects to the PRINCE REGENT.
Tuesday, KIREttIAN FINLAY, Esq. M. P. was
elected Lord Provost of Glasgow, in consequence
of the resignation, from indisposition of JAMES
BLACK, Esq.
SCOTS ECONOMY.—The Bill respecting the Office
of Lord Justice General of Scotland, is now printed,
from which it appears, that, on the death of the Duke
of MONTROSE, the present possessor, who is to receive
the full salary of 20001. a year during his life, it is
to be given to the Lord President of the Court of
Session, for the time being, with the diminished
salary f 10001. The income of the Lord President
will then amount to 55001. per ansum, which is 10004
a year more than the salary of the Chief Justice of
England, who has also to perform the laborious duty
of the Circuits.
It seems odd that there should be such a cry for,
short Parliaments, as if the People had not short Com-
.
mitt enough in all: commix..

THE ARMY.

The 85th Regiment is under orders for America,
