LONDON:

•ATURIAI, /4IT 9, ISIS.

Tt ;• still e•serted. span what is denomiestea as-
thew' janrinatitm, thst the min-Isis of the Doke
Of CL4RENCI With the Princess Royal of bitleitt-

RN is yet to place, surd that the union ',finally
arranged. The rnesent of his Royal Highness in
-Council, and of her Serene Highness, has undergone
sin chance by the proceeding in the House of Com-
mons. The Princess is to have the ceremony of
a marriage by wog before she embarks for England.
The British Minister et Stutgard is to be Ms Royal
I 1 ghno.,•4 proxy. neje. Royal Highnesses, like
other Nuung entr tes, are to trust to events for for.
tune and happiness.

The Courier, " still harping on ay daughter,"

continnes to dilate on the 66 leigriooll consesinewces
that must flow" from withholding tba weir de.
wands of the Royal Doke. ; and it is insiesited with
equal modesty, that though Lord HOLLAND'S ob•
serration was t-oe, that the funds already at the dis.
posal of the Crown, for the support of its dignity
and splendour, is not less than a Mir.uosr Sterling,
yet 'has that million ought to be TWO, as the Re•
venneg of the Crown are now fixed, and not so ins.
provenbie as in former reigns! The establishment of
son e other fv,.(l is also earnestly recommended for
the exclusive use of the Royal Family, to keep them
from the humiliations and enquiries attendant upon
their begging appeals to Parliament. Mot would
the Courier think of a Royal " Saving Butt" fo►

this purpose ? The Roses and the rest of the in.
venrors and patrons of this banking system, have
,saved • good deal. We would recommend it to the
serials: attenoion of such Princes as mean to marry
young wives et a late period, for the benefit of pos.
verity, and ire afraid of humiliations; for a scheme
which is represented as so beneficial to the poor, who
have nothing to save in this world, and every thing
to fear, cannot be a bad one for those who
have millions running through their bands, yet are
in perpetoal debt and poverty.

The subject of Crown Lands, and the meritorious
practice of privately disposing of them to Crown end
Ministerial supporters, instead of by public auction,
noticed last night and on a former evening in the
Rouse of Commons, might afford abundant ground
for remark, in connection with the views of the de.
predated state of Crown property and Royal reve-
nues. But we must meat pass from these topics and
the eeplanations attempted to be given of the
male of sales now adopted in this respect, to
call the Reader's attention to Mr. BROUGHAM'S mo-
tion last night on the education of the Poor, the
*braes of Funds appropriated t• that wpm, and
tie talent, research, and eloquence, displayed in his
speeciv in this trot), good cause. Seldom has that of
Education had a more able advocate. How far his
statements may be correct we cannot take upon our-
selves to decide, but if the fends applicable to cha-
ritable purposes amount, as he assutnerto be the
fact, to between a million and a half add two mil-
lions, while only 258.0001. have been accounted for,
wined!, il.e subject deserves to be looked into, and
Mr. iiItOVGRAII merits the best acknowledgments
of humanity and the country for having taken
it up. On the commitment of the But,, several
Gentlemen proposed the exemption of different
Schools: this caused Mr. BROUGUAM to observe,
that be feared the Bill, instead of being one of en-
quiry, would become one of exemption from enquiry.
At length Mr. ROSINION moved to exempt Harlow
School; but the motion was lost by a majority of
23 ; there being for the motion 30, and *phut it 53..
The Bill then went through the Committee, was re-.

ported, and the Report ordered to be received on
Friday. It wee threw greed, on the motion of Mr:
BILOVOIIMMI, that the Committee be instructed to en.
quire into the Education of the Poor in Scotland.

We have received the French Papers and private ,
communications from Paris to the 7th inst. In the !
Chamber of Peers, on Monday, the Bill for the ti.
quidation of the Foreign Claims, on the recommenda-
tion of a Special Commission, to which it Ind been
referred, was adopted without any amendment. It
was, in fact, u the King would denominate it, an-
other 66 brilliant Sitting," for out of 106 Members
present, not one dissentient voice was heard, the
same patriotic silence being preserved as marked the
proceeding of the Chant •r of Deputies. On the same
day the Bill for a Loan of 195,000 f. for completing the
works of Havre, sad those for completing the mg
of La Senses, and vsecting a bridge over the Dor.
dogne, were presented by the Minister of the Interior
and ordered to be printed. The Chamber of Dem.,
ties bad nothing of general interest before them in
their last sitting. A Petition front several French-
men who had perchesed national domains in the Elec.
torate of Hesse, from which they had been ejected bj
the Elector's Decree of the 14th of January; 1814,,
was referred to the Minister for Foreign Affairs.
