HER MAJESTY. .  His Royal Highness the DUKE of YORK held yesterday a Military Levee at the Horse Guards, at which sever,:l General Officers were present. Lord HOBART and the SECRETARY \at WAR had each a long conference with His Royal Highness. Captain GREY, Commissioner of Sheerness Dock. yard, it is said, is to form one of the new Board of Admiralty. A Letter from Folkstone, dated Thursday even. ing, contains the following information :—'' The report of guns was distinctly heard this afternoon from the French Coast, near Boulogne ; and the' weather was so clear, that we could observe three  Brigs and two lugger-rigged Vessels come out of Boulogne Harbour, and run along shore, as it is sup. posed for the purpose of getting to sea. Only one of our Ships has been seen off Boulogne, and she drifted with the tide. The wind has got round to the S. E. to-day, and the Convoy under Dungeness are observed getting under weigh, for the purpose of sailing before dark. For the first time. this season, a great number of lights were descried last night upon the- French coast, which it is supposed arises from the French Troops having encamped there within this day or two. We cannot otherwise account for this circumstance."  Mr. ER ANC Is's Speech, in the House of Commons, on the Motion of Thanks to the Governor-General and Military Commanders in India, displayed solid reasoning, as well as great moderation and candour. He very shrewdly observed, that it General W ELLest.Ey was to be praised for the gallantry and judgment with which he defeated ten times the number of troops under his command, his success by no !pearls justified those who had sent him upon so hazardous an enterprize with such inferior force. At \all events, he very justly remarked, that nobody should be included in a Vote of Thanks whose con;101 might be hereafter the subjeft of inquiry, and possibly of censure. Political Observers may at present find much amusement in noticing the graftual progress of the Ministerial Papers, from unbounded praises of their late Employers, through the whole art of trimming. They are at present very evidently preparing to render the same servile homage to whoever may  _ . succeed. The whole indeed excites a mournful refleainn in minds above such base venality, and that  wish to support those who will best support their Country. Such has teen our condua respeling the illustrious Statesman who, we trust, is abdut to resume his former state, to enlighten and invigorate the National Councils, and give confidence and se. entity to the Empire. JOSEPH BONAPARTE bas done wisely in quitting Eh! Senate for a command at.Boulogne, as, in case of any forMidable commotion at Paris, he will be out of :be 'way. Considering the critical state of the CHI Et CONSUL, in consequence of his murder of the Duke D'ENcti lEN and Pt CH EGRII, and his designs against IVIoR Etip, who has done so much for the Republic, JOSEPH BONAPARTE may be though; to have aaed upon the provident systtm of- the ;:tr.7.t, wrio run from g falling house. It is said that M. arro, the French Minister at Munich, having found much difficulty in devising the" necessary expedients for arresting the Emigrants in that city, suspected of, being concerned in the late Conspiracy, wrote to them, expressing his wish that they wouki :line with him,' in order thit he might have an opportunity of hearing from their own lips, a statemem of the grievances of which they complained. Not suspeaing his base design, they accepted of his invitation. After dinner, he jocosely told them, that, he had yet another repast fc.r them, which corvisted in having them all bound together, put into a carriage, and instantly sent off prisoners to Paris," The new coinage of Crown Pieces from Dollars, is now going+. on with all possible dispatch, at Mr. BoLTON's Difint, the Soho, near Birmingham. With, in these fete✓ days, three waggons loaded with dollars were sent from the Bank, under a proper escort to that place, each waggon containing about seven tons weight, where eight presses are employed at the same time, each of which will strike 66 in a minute, giving the impression on both sides at one stroke, ars are so simply constructed as to be worked by time man, without the smallest danger, the piece discharging itself from the die, when another instantly slips in its plare. His Majesty's head, and the reverse, are done in a masterly style, forming a very beautiful coin, and will be extremely difficult to counterfeit.  On the night of the zfist of April died, his Serene Highness the Reigning Duke of
