An Or-
dinance of tlig Council Chamber, of the Preliminary
Court, on the report of M. 11:Ermen, Jo:7,e d'lrr.
'traction, has sent before the Royal Court NICIIO.
LAS CANTILLON, formerly a military man, accused 1
of having, on the night from the 10th to the filth
of February lost, made, with premeditation, and
from a place of concealment, an attempt to cont.
mit homicide on the person of the Duke of IVELe
LINGTON, which attempt had been manifested by
ezterinr acts, followed by a commencement of its
execution, and only failed in its effect by furtui.
tens circumstances, independent of the will of the
author. The Sieur MARINE; who has declared him.
self to be without any present profession, has been
sent by the same Ordinance before the Royal Court,
accused of being an accomplice with CANTILLON, by
eliciting the latter by promises, and giving him instruca
lions in what manner to commit the crime. The Ern.
peror ALEXANDER and King of SAXuWY hid a short
interview at Chemnitz on the Bth of December, after
which the Emperor proceeded on his way to Vienna,
where he is stated to have arrived on the 12th. ThoEtn..
per°, FRANcIs intended to havegone in person as far se
Stockerau to meet him, but was prevented by his not
having completely recovered from the effects of a ms.
lignant fever which had confined tint to his bed for se.
'era! days. The Hereditary Prince, however, received.
the Russian Monarch at the barrier of Tabor; but
after a short interview he returned alone, it bring
the wish of the Emperor ALEXANDER to preserve the
strictest incognito. The intelligence from Madrid
given in these Papers comes down to the 11th inst.
There was a grand fate at the Court of FERDINAND
on the 10th, in honour of the birth-day of his mother,
the Ex-Queen. The delivery of FERDINAND'S Con.
sort was expected every hour. The reports of se
attack upon Madrid on the 3d or 4th inst. are posi.
sitively contradicted; but it is admitted that there are
several armed bands in La Mancha, which rob tra-
vellers and• lay the villages under contributions.—
Their force, however, is represented as ton inconsi.
derable to cause any alarm ,at Madrid. General
GOUROAUD still remains at Hamborgb till he has re-
ceived the passports which have been promised to him
to repair to Austria. The French Funds continue
to decline. On Tuesday the Five per Cents. left off
lat 63f. 20c. On Wednesday they fell to 62f. 40c.
Bank Actions, 1500 f.

Mails from Flanders have alai arrived, with Bre,.
seals and German Paper, to *be With inst. The Se.
geed GumOber of the Ststes.General was occupied on
the 22c1 in the consideration of various petitions.—
.That of COUCHOIS LEMAIRE, one. of the French
exiles, was, after a discussion of ewe length, dis-
posed of by the Order of the Day. The troops in
Navarre, Biscay, and Arragon, are said to have re-
ceived orders to march to the environs of Madrid.
This intelligence, if correct, indicates a posture of
affairs in that capital very differeot from that which
is stated in our abstract of the contents of the
French Papers. The marriage of Prince FnEosalcc
of SAXONY to the Archduchess CAROLINE of
AUSTRIA, is to be celebrated after Easter. ft is Ap-
posed that Prince ALEXIS SUZZO will be the new
Ilospodar of Wallachia.
A numerous Meeting was held at the Guildhall,
in Nolgagbasn, on Wednesday, to petition the'
Houstrof Commons for the repeal of the Corn Bill.
The Mayor, ISAAC Wor.r.Ey, Esq. was in the Choir.
The Petition and Resolutions were voted unani-
mously. This step is intended to counteract the
" Agricultural Petition" sent over the country by
some persons in London. We hope this example of
opposition to a most selfish and impolitic project will.
be universally followed.

The appointment of the Duke of WELtimaTeit
to the office of Master-General of the ()Matinee
announced in the Gazette of Saturday. This of
is a place enjoying great military patronage, end has
attaalied to it the salary of four thousand a
year. His Grace loves military parade, and 'o
tin
our most pacific Ministers and their Royal Master.
The system, it appears, is still to he supported.
