FROM THE BANKS OF THE DANUBE, JUNE I.

A great number 01 French Officers, who were for.
merly in the service of Murat, and alter his fall were
made prisoners and sent to Brunn and 011intitz, in
Moravia, are now passing through Swabia, to return
to their country—the. Austrian Government having
ordered them to be set at liberty, with permission to
return to France.

We learn from Stutgard that the influence of she'
Nobility will be almost nothing-in the new Cnnbtite-
Lion of Wurteniberg. The mediatised Princes, arc.
(these are the Princes, Counts, &c. who were for-
merly independent Members of the old German Em-
pire, but were deprived by the Act of the Confeder-
ation of,the Rhine of their rights of sovereignty, and
made subjects to the great Sovereigns, the Kings of
Wurtemberg, Bavaria, &c. within whose kirgdoms
their territories 'were situated), who, under the pre-
text of defending the rigtits of the nation, have only
sought to exasperate all classes against the Govern-
ment, and to reap alone the profit of all the conces-
sions which the King might make, completely failed ;
and the public opinion has declared against them,
since it has been known what demands they make on
the kingdom of Wurtemberg. One of these demands
is not to bear any kind of personal or communal
(one might call these last, perhaps, parish) charges,
and to be exempt, both themselves and their families,
from all military service : it is this latter demand in
particular which has excited the. most discontent.

This Morning we received New York Papers to die.
sth of June, but they contain no news of interest.
The private letters of the 4th, however, which arrived
by this conveyance, draw a melancholy picture of the
commercial distresses of our Trans-Atlantic neigh-
bours, which (if possible) considerably exceed our own.
Our Merchants have recently speculated upon meet:
ing with a' ready market for British manufactured.
goods in America,and property to an immense amount
has been shipped ro the different ports in that country ;
but we are sorry to say, without a shadow of success,
tot the above letters state that several American ship,
were actually taking in the same cargoes brought
'from this country, in deer to their being re-shipped,
for Liverpobl, as there was no prospect of a sale,
whatever.
roost-THE NEW ORLIVOSS OA2ITT6.'
We hate been I.W/0 tired with Haeannah Papers to the 9th
instant. They contain nothing interesting except the Mowing
snick:
" Head-quarters, Monopoz, February 28._

" On the 24th instant, the following, persons were executed in
Cartbagena :—Manuel de Castillo, Martin Amador, %matron
German Ribon, Jose Maria Pomecariera, Santiage Stuart, An-
tonio Jose de Avos, Jose Marla Garcia de Toledo, Miguel Diaz
Grenada., and Manuel Agulano. They were tried and con-
demned by a Beard of Officers for the crime of treason.
" The culprits might have enjoyed the Indulgence of the ge-
neral pardon, granted with so much clemency by his Majesty;
but their presumptuous and false ideas of the state of Spain led
them into error, and too late have they endeavoured to 'Radiate
themulvei by false and weak pretences."
We leara verhally, that a Mr. ROIIIIITII, an English mer-
chant of respectability was also executed at Carthagena. This cir-
cumstance had occasioned a general and violent feeling of resen-
tment in Jamaica, against Moatißo and the loyal party.
We also learn that Mr.liargraMlSis who wu takes prisoner
by the Spaniards in West Florida, during the revolution in that
Province, has been liberated, after a detention of fur or live years.
1 A vessel arrived at Havanna, the std lust. with privanirs on bout!
from Carthagena, two-thirds of whom were Americana. Cap-
tain Perez, the We Spanish Commandant at Mobile, vats cab--
fuirmeot at Havanna, waiting his Stbl.

PROROGATION OP PARLIAMENT.

&TAR-OFFICE, TRPEE ovt.ocyc.
This day at Two o'clock the _Palma REGENT went
hi the State Cartiage from Carlton• House to the
House of Lords, and the House of Commons having
been summoned to otten.l, his ROYAL That:Ness in an
elegant Address to both Houses, which our time and
limits sill not Permit us to give at length, prorogued
the Parliament.

The Sptech of his grim. HIGHNESS. alter lament.
ing the continuance of his ROYAL FATHER'S indispo.
sition. expresses his thanks for the attention pod to
the business Of the country by Parliament during the
Session.

His ROYAL Hictsiss, alluding to the prevalence
of Peace, assures Parliament, that no exertions will
be wanting on the part of him or his Ministers to
render it permanent, and to give facilities to our
trade and manufactures, by the encouragement of
which alone the blessings of Peace can be truly felt.
His ROYAL HIGHNESS then expresses a hope that the
Members of both Houses, on returning to the coon•
try, will display a becoming energy, in soothing and
trarquillizing the public mind, a conduct by which
the pressure of the times will be gradually alleviated,
and the people enabled to suppott their present tem-
porary embarassments.
His ROYAL thwarts looked remarkably well, and
was repeatedly cheered by the populace as he passed
along.

PRINCE REGENT'S COURT. .

Yesterday his Royal Highness Nos REGENT
held a Court at Carlton House. Soon after eleven
o'clock, the Duke of WELLtscrox was introduced to
the REGENT by Earl BATHURST, upon his arrival in
England. His Gault remained with the PRINCE till
past two o'clock. Afterwards the DUKE went to the
Secretary of St.tte's Office, in Downing.street, where
he was joined by his Noble Relative, the Marquis of
WELLEsurt.—The Pfttxce held a Privy Council,
which was attended by
The Lord President, the Lord Privy Seal, the First Lord of
the Treasury, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Fine Lord
of the Admiralty, the Master-General of the Ordnance, the Sr.
eretaries•of State for the Home, Foreign, and Colonial Iflpart.
rums, the President of the Board of Comma, the Chancellor of
the Duchy of Lancaster.

Viscount CHET WYND attended as Clerk of the Council.
His Serene Highness Prince LtopoLD was iistro..
ducted to the Council by the Loan PRES(DENT,
in a Member, and took his seat at the Rizht Ho-
nourable Board accordingly.
His Royal Highness the PRINCE REnsmT, in the
presence of the Duke of YORK, the Grand Master of
the Order of the-Bath, was pleased to invest Lieute-
nant-General Sir Colima Daustmoso, and Rear.
Admiral Sir Luau. Pausw, with the insignii of
Knight! Commanders of the Bath. They were s.ve•
rally introduced by Sir Geolica NAYLER, the Officer
at Arms, attendant upon the Knights Commanders,
who carried upon a cushion the Ribbands and
•Badges, and Sir GORDON DRUMMOND and Sir imam.
PELLEW, having first received the honour of Knight
hood, were invested by the PRINCE RWRNT.
H;s Royal Highness the llama RRORNT was af.
terwards pleased to conks the honour of Knighthood
upon Colonels Sir Thomas ARBUTONOT and the Ho-
nourable Sir ROBERT 'LIIIVRYNCE DuNom, Knights
Commanders of the Order.

The above four gsll4nt Officers were nominated to
the Order in the month of January. 1815, but were
prevented by absence from this country from sooner
receiving their investiture.

Covere-Gaornts.--The Princess CHARLOTTE and
Prince Lecworn-again visited this Theatre last nittlit,
to see the performance of Miss O'Neil. in the Tra.
gedy of Rome, and Juliet, together with the Mel
Drame sit 7 intaue the Tartar. The house was extretnely
crowded; and the illustrious Pair were received with
evident tokees of popular gratification. The Play
was well acted ; and ou no former occasion have we
known Miss O'NEIL to receive more distinguished or
Merited applause.
HAY-MARKET.—This place of summer amuse-
ment opened last night with the Comedy of the Man
of the World, in which Mr. TERRY assumed the ar-
duous character of Sir Pertiaax lifacrytolthani, and
sustained the part throughout with great skill and
effect. Mrs. GLOVER played Lady Rodelftha with
gaiety and humour. Tile After-piece of Raisiag the
Wind followed, in which JONES, in Jeremy Didier, was
highly diverting.
ENGLISH OrEnA.—The Siege of Belgrade at this
Theatre last night, introduced Mr. Hotta in the cite-
iacter of The Steadier. This Gentleman, who has so
long been before the Public both as a singer and
composer, came forwzid on this occasion, with the
additional claim to public approbation as the pupil
of Mr. Wer.su. The master and the pupil are both
honoured in the efforts of the latter, and those who
have hitherto been satisfied with the exertions of Mr.
HORN, must be delighted with his complete success
last night ; his style, taste, and expression deserved
and obtained the , loudest applause I and we do not
hesitate to pronounce him an high acquisition to the
English Opera. The Piece was altogether well cast.
Miss KELLY, in Lilla, and Mr. enamours', in
Tarot, deserved and obtained great applause.'

As a proof of the unprecedented stagnation of
trade, one day last week there was not single entry
for export or import at the Custom-house of Lon:.
don, a circumstance without parallel in the annals of
that extensive Ebtablishment. In the neighbourhood
of Bilston-moor, where there aro many collieries,
and a 'number of iron-works, the workmen consisting
of some thousands, have been thrown out of employ,
They have solicited in vain for work inWarwickshire.
Staffordshire, and the neighbourhood. Thus circum-
stanced, they have acted with prudence and modera-
tion ; and not wishing to imitate the culpable conduct
of others, they have as hitherto refrained from commit-
ting outrages of any description. With a view however
of drawing particular attention to their case, they have
resorted to the novel experiment of presenting t petition
