From the LONDON PAPERS, May 20. LONDON. DISTURBANCES AT HAMBURGH. ON Easter Tuesday, the Commandant or- dered the gates of the town to be shut at an earlier hour than usual, on the pretence of its Ije- ing a holiday, and with a view to prevent excesses, in consequence of this, a number of the inhabitants were shut out, and about 1000 presented themselves before the gates, and de- manded entrance. The gates not being open • ed at their demand, from noise and clamour the populace proceeded to pelt the soldiers with stones, and a very serious commotion took place. Some of the military quartered in the : town, joined the guard, and fired upon the people, seven or eight of whom were killed, aad many more wounded. At this juncture a firebroke out in the town, and some person rang the alarm bell. This caused a general eonfusion; the French Com- mandant considered it as the premeditated sig- nal for a general insurrection, and, under this impassion, dispatched a courier to BERNA- DOTTE for succours, who was at that time in Jutland. In the meanwhile, the Senate assem- bled, and effectual means were taken to quell the disturbance. Peace being restored,- the Se- nate dispatched a messenger to BERNADOTTE, explaining the affair, and promising to prevent, as far a3 lay in their power, similar tumults.'— BERNADOTTE, it was supposed, had thought proper to meet the last message with indiffe- rence ; for when the account came away, French troops were marching towards Ham- burgh, from various, quarters. This affair will furnish a pretext for new extortions. The day after the disturbance, a Proclama- tion was issued by the French, to prevent riots in future. It was ordered, that any person sounding the alarm bell without instructions from the French, should be shot on the spot ; that any person throwing a stone at a French soldier, should be tried by a military commis- sion, and if found guilty, be punished • with death. If four or more persons were ' found talking together, the French soldiers <? n duty had a right to require them to separate, and in case they disobeyed, xofire upon them! THE Edinburgh IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Thursday, May 19. DISTILLATION FROM SUGAR. LORD BINNING, Chairman of the Commit- tee appointed to inquire into the state of the 1 com West India Merchants, entered into a long and able detail of the proceedings of the Commit- tee. That Committee, he said, bad taken par ticular care before they came to any resolution, to see how far the interests of agriculture were likely to be affected by it; and it Was not till a iull and deliberate investigation of many se- rious facts had assured them of'its wisdom, that they determined on it. He was convinced, with the rest of the Committee, that they had come to a salutary decision. He read part of the repoit of the Committee, and many of the facts upon which that report wa3 founded— such a report would never have been presented relative to the West India Merchants, if they bad not thought it was for the interest of Great Britain. He was very ready to admit an ob- servation which had been made relative to this measure, that the distresses of one part of the community ought not to be relieved by an op- pression on the other; but while he admitted its truth he denied its application. The last harvest had been a scanty one: he then read over part of the evidence, which stated that A DVER T i S £ R for - 1808. the Gentlemen present, that the wishes of thef which he was actuated. Committee would be'earried into effect. MR. COKE said the Noble Lord must hare a strange idea of the Landed Interest, if he ima- gined they contended for the high price of ( a cry of no! no!)— then, if that was 44. His MAJESTY came to town on Wednesday from Windsor, and held a private Court at the Queen's Palace, which was attended by the - LORD CHANCELLOR, the Archbishop of CAN- TERBURY, the Duke of PORTLAND, and mo6t of the Cabinet Ministers. The following pre- sentations took, place:—^ Generals LESLIE, LAWSON, WATSON, Fox, DOftnAM, and Ba- ron HOMPESCH, on their brevet promotion in the army— General DRUMMONH, en his being appointed Colonel of the nth Royal Veteran Battalion— Admiral DOMETT, on his being ap- pointed a Lord of the Admiralty— General CAMPBELL, on his return from the East In- dies, and on his promotion— JOHN CONNELL, Esq; Procurator for the Church of Scotland— Rev. Dr INGLIS, of Edinburgh, Commissi; • oner from the Church of Scotland. The report so current about the Seahorse fri- gate being captured, is erroneous; she was very near an enemy's port in the Mediterra- nean, but letters are received in town from that ship, which state that she got clear off. DUBLIN, May 14. " LO^ D GLENWORTH'S MARRIAGE.— This morning," in the Court of Chancery, the AT- TORN EY- GENERAL moved the Court on the • part of the EA% L of LIMERICK, for an attach- ment against Mr BEAUMONT, an eminent Soli- citor of that Court, and against hhs wife, Mrs BEAUMONT, for advising and procuring the marriage of Miss EDW^ DSj.- Mrs BEAUMONT'S daughter, by a former husbffid, with the Noble Earl's eldest son, Lord GLEN WORTH, who is a minor of nineteen years of age, (. SV last AD- VERTISER, page 324,) although a prohibitory order had issued from that Coutt, cautioniqp them against such proceeding, and that tht same would be considered as a high contempt. Mr and Mrs BEAUMONT'S'affidavits were read, in order to oppose the application. Mr BEAU- MONT admitted he was Weil aware of the inti- macy that prevailed between Lord GLF. N • W ORTH and hij daughter- in- law, but declared that he had carefully abstained from taking any step to further it. Mrs BEAUMONT admitted she was made very uneasy by the continuance of that intimacy, which had become the topic of public conversation ; that she had, in conse- quence, consulted with some female friends, who thought the business would be best set- tled by a marriage, and that an intimation to that effect was some way or other, though not strictly from Mrs BEAUMONT, conveyed'to the young couple, who, it was admitted, were since married at Gretna Green. The LORD CHANCELLOR reprobated . the conduct of ' Mr. and Mis. BEAUMONT. Mrs BEAU- MONT was ordered to answer further personal interrogatories. The Court was amazingly crowded. The Duchess of RICHMOND sat on the Bench, and near her were arranged a great number of the fashion, rank& beauty'of Dublin. Miss EDWARDS, now Viscountess GLEN- WORTH, is daughter of the late Captain ED- WARDS, younger brother to Colonel EDWARDS, of Oldcourt, .-- unrvof Wicklovi, a very old, and respectable family. although in the south of England the wheat harvest had been good, yet still in almost every other part the barley one had been very scanty indeed, and in Scotland particularly so. Now if next harvest also proved deficient, the mea- sure now proposed would become inevitable, and it was better not to wait till pressed by the hand of necessity, and that at a positive loss. The computation of corn which was imported into England and Scotland, was at the rate of 470,000 quarters of corn ; and new, in a com- paratively scarce and deficient year, there was no importation whatever, owing to our hosti- lity with the countries from whence we had been used to receive supplies. It had been said that this resolution would diminish the quantity of corn which would be sown next year: the quantity sown, however, he and the Commit- tee thought would be entirely regulated by the price paid. But it had also been said, that on the first appointment of this Committee, the price of grain would fall; now, on the con trary, it had risen, was daily rising, and did not appear likely to suffer any diminution. He wished to argue this entirely as a British ques- tion. By every information which he had receiv- ed from SCOTLAND, it was particularly desired in that part of the country, that the distillery from grain should be stopped. In tbe North, of Scotland there was a scarcity, amounting to an absolute famine. He believed he would be: borne out in this statement by an Ho- nourable Baronet (. Sir JOHN SINCLAIR).-^ The prices of grain were now so high, that the Fanners could not complain of any injury; and if there had been no other grounds for the recommendation in the report, bat merely British interests, he thought the mea- » sure would be proper. It had been intend- ed at first to propose the stopping the dis- tilleries for a year, from the lst of July, but he now inten ded to pursus a course somewhat different. Yesterday, when he came down to the House, be felt perfectly prepared to bring forward such a proposition, but he was given to understand, that the opinions of many niost respectable Gentlemen might be conciliated, and great public advantage derived from altering the motion, and post- poning it to this daty. The Resolutions which he now intended to propose were, first, " That the distillation of spirits from wheat, oats, barley, malt, flour, meal, pulse, & c. should be prohibited in the tfrcited Kingdom from the- ist- of July next to the lst of Octo- ber ; and 2dl. y, that . it should be lawful for his Majesty, after the lst of September, to conti- nu'e. by proclamation, the said prohibition, till thirty days after the meeting of Parliament." He also intended, if the bill should be allowed to go into a Committee, to move a reduction of duty on'sUgltf- wash, so as to enable the distiller to make use of sugar in their distille- ries. He had understood that the harvest in Ire- land had been very deficient, and that there was already a considerable scarcity felt in some parts of it. Under these circumstances, he thought, that without at all considering the interests of the West Indiesi the measure would be good in. itself-.— Although lie did not now consider himself authorised fo put the question, on the ground of ' relief to West India Merchants and Planters, yet, he Wotild say that their wants, were most urgent— that there were many great estates which made little or no profit, and that the West India body did appear- to him abun- dantly intitled to some relief.. He' thought that the distresses of the IVejt India Planters could not be fairly attributed merely to. their wild- and imprudent speculations; but that a great part of ihetn was to be attributed to the system MAY It was his conviction j that no tampering of the Legislature with agri- culture ought to be allowed except in an ex- treme case, which did not seem to exist. MR. MARRYATT bore testimony to the dis- tress of the West India Planters. GENERAL GASCOJGNE insisted that tbe not the case, his Lordship was surely very far ] misled in the quotation he had given of the j West India Interest had a right to look for price of corn, fur within the last fortnight, it redress, as well as the Landholders. did not exceed 40s. in the county of Norfolk ; out, if it bad risen in other counties, he was convinced it was owing to the alarm given by the proceedings of the Committee of Inquiry. He was glad to find that no grain had been im- ported into this country since the month of September, which was a strong proof that we did not stand in need of foreign aid. The Markets had ever since been well supplied at moderate prices; but the imported grain al- ways lay in the hands of speculators, who were constantly the instruments of enhancing the price. If he was rightly informed, the situa- tion of the Planters was not so bad as had been represented. At present there was a demand for Sugar, and it rose 6' s. in the cwt.; but though it was in so great abundance, the Pub- lic could not get it a farthing cheaper, than when there was a scarcity. The Landed In- terest had complaints also, in being heavily- taxed, yet not a murmur escaped them. Sir JOHN SINCLAIR said, that having been personally alluded to by the Noble Mover of the Resolutions, he thought it necessary to rise thus early in the debate. It was certainly true, as the Noble Lord had stated, that there was a considerable scarcity in the North of Scotland, and it was natural for him to be extremely an- xious that this scarcity should be relieved; but at the same time, as a Member of the British Legislature, lie was bound to look to the gene- ral interests of the country ; and he did not think that these would be promoted by adopt- ing the present Resolutions. He was surprised that, after a Com mittee appointed in 1797 to consider this very subject of the substitution of sugar in the distilleries, had come to a resolu- tion most unfavourable to the proposition, the question should be again revived. Since dis- tilleries were first established, they had only been stopped six years in the course of more than a century; and in the year 1760, the table of the House was covered with petitions from the farming interest, representing the pernici- ous effects ofthe stoppage. He contended that the revenue would suffer a great defalcation from the proposed measure, and that in fact the distilleries did not consume so much grain ap- plicable to the food of man as was supposed, for much of what they used was damaged, and of inferior quality. A great objection to stop- ping the distillers was, that one species of meat, pork,- would thereby be rendered more scarce, and on this point he quoted Mr BURKE is support of his opinion. He believed not mueh corn had for some years been imported from the Continent ; and be trusted that, the relations between this country and America would remain such as to allow us to import our usual quantity. THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER supported the bill, and said that it by no means was prejudicial to the interests of the Country, but highly beneficial. The evidence of Mr ARTHUR YOUNC, he said, put the necessity of retrenchment in the consumption, beyond a' doubt, as he said the produce of last year was in all parts of the country considerably less than the annual consumption. Upon the whole, he trusted the precautions provided to betaken under the bill would completely do away every alarm of the landholders, and that the measure on that account would receive their eoncur- ' pursued' with respect tO them, and to the pre- sent state of Europe. lie wished, however, tliat the . subject should now be considered and argued as a British, and not a West India question. He concluded by moving, " That the Report of the Committee be referred to a MR. CURWEN deprecated a plan which came before the House, unsupported by evidence.— He was astonished that the Noble Lord, who had paid so much attention to the subject, should come to that House, with his mind changed ; but this might proceed from ano- ther cause. The little evidence produced came from obscure individual", of no information, and therefore Gould not impart any to the Committee. He attributed the late rise on grain, to the alarm which the Committee gave of a scarcity, for the Distillers had made large purchases, as grain was moue profitable to them than sugar. MR. PONSONBY and Sir J. NEWPORT sever- ally protested against the introduction of die proposed measure to Ireland. Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY was convinced, that were the distilleries in Ireland to be allow- ed SO' go on, while those in England ware stopped, . great mischief would ensue. The distress for grain in Ireland was as great as. in any part of England. The last ciop was a third deficient, and the quantity of grain ex- ported from Ireland to Scotland, in consequence of the scarcity in the latter country, rendered that crop still less adequate to the demand.— Petitions had been presented from Drogbeda, Belfast, & c. praying that the distilleries might be stopped and there could 6e no doubt that unless some efficient measure were speedily a- dopted, a very, general scarcity would exist in Ireland. Mr FOSTER, as he felt compelled to vote on CommitJ. ee of the whole House." He antici-: this question against those with whom he u ipated from the moderation and good sense of , sually concurred, explained the motive by MR. C. R. ELLIS vindicated the princi- ple of the measure. He contended, that even in the most plenteous years, this country had ever witnessed, still we had been under the ne- cessity of importing grain from the Continent. In the present circumstances of the country, and when, by the enemy, we were shut out from the whole Continent, it was essential that distilling should not be suffered from grain.— West India pioduce were articles equally pro- ductive as grain, and in proportion as these products were consumed, in propoition would grain be saved tor the consumption of the people. MR. WINDHAM said, the conduct of those who supported tl « s unnatural measure, was like that of a hen hatching a brood of ducks. They first introduced it to relieve the West India Planters from their overgrown stock, but an- Hon. Gentleman had found out a great scar- city in the crops, and brings it in like B ayes's army in disguise, pretending it to be only a temporary measure : but he would warn them against too much meddling with the agricul- ture of the country. To be sure, if it were secessary to lower the prices of grain, by hang- ing a few farmers, it might be done; but there Would be very few another year. He conclud- ed by saying, these discussions would tend to raise the price of corn, by creating an alarm a- mong the people. LORD CASTLEREAGH strenuously support- ed the motion. As an argument in favour of the measure, he asserted that the price of grain was at present higher than in the scarcity of 1795, and as high as the scarcity in 1800, when the distilleries were prohibited. Add to this, we had not at present any prospects of aforeign import, so that any measure that tended to husband our present sources of supplies, was advisable to adopt. MR. JOHN SMITH supported the measure.- The greatest possible calamity that could befal any countiy was a scarcity of corn. It must be considered, that for the last eighteen years a veiy large importation of that article had taken place, and we ought to provide for the consequences that might arise from our being deprived of all foreign resources. He really be- lieved. too that the West India Planters were a most injured set of people, and that some mea- sure was necessary tor their relief. The effect of this present measure would be to relieve both of these descriptions of individuals, and be attended with generally beneficial conse- quences. SIR HENRY MILDMAY spoke against the measure ; and stated an average of the prices of com for several years, in order to shew that the supporters of it were not justified in using such arguments in favour of their measure, from the state of these prices. MR ALDERMAN HIBBERT said this mea- sure was expressly recommended by the Committee,. after an inquiry into the sama subject had taken place in 1807, which wae negatived, and therefore it was impossible that they could have recommended one so to- tally different from the former recommenda- tion, had they not seen that the circumstance of the times had made that alteration absolute- ly necessary. Those circumstances were the changes that had taken place in the foreign re-' lations of the counti y, which now deprived us of a supply of grain. If we did not want that supply formerly, why did we take it ? If we did want it, was it possible that any ministry could be justified in sitting calmly, and view ing with composure, the consequences likely to arise from the country being deprived of that supply in futu e, MR MALCOLM LAING spoke against the motion. LORD BINNING briefly observed, that the measure he had the honour of submitting to the coRsideration of that House, was one which it would have been proper to have a- dopted, even if the West Indies had never ex- isted. He concluded with observing, that he felt his cave was completely made out, and that his opinion was not in the least altered by any tiling that had been said upon the other side of the House. The House divided for the Committee— Ayes 122 Noes 108 Majority in favour of tlie Committee 1 - i The House then went- into a Committee, pro forma, and the Chairman obtained leave to sit again.

A FASHIONABLE ELOPEMENT.— An event has just taken place in high life, which has excited more interest than we ever recollect any similar occurrence to have produced— namely, the sudden disappearance of a Lady of title and great beautv, ( who ranks among the most dis- tinguished females for intellectual endowments), from the family residence in the neighbourhood of Portman- square. The elopement took place about half past four on Wednesday af- ternoon, with a Baronet, the son of a Noble Ear], and the parties went off" together from the house of the injured husband ( Lord ) on foot. The retreat of the fugitives is yet undiscovered, but is suspected to be not far distant from town. Lord was sitting in the drawing- room when the flight took place. * The Lady who has eloped is Lady B- RING- " ON, and the Gentleman who eloped with her Sir A. P , son of the Earl of U— •. The Lady is a very beautiful and accomplished woman, and of manners hitherto irreproach- able, is a daughter of the Earl of W , and sister to the Countess of J y. She has three children, a son and two daughters. The wedded Lady who. has just eloped from her Lord, is of a family the most amiable and respected, and certainly the only spoiled CHILD it has produced; INTELLIGENCE FROM LLOYD'S LIST. « ' Arrived 1 Gottenb- urgh and S Irish Mails— Due 1 Gottcnburgh and 3 Irish.

JUDGING from the cargo of the sleop de- stroyed on the 22d, that the rest of the e- itemy- 8 vessels at Flodstrctnd were also, loaded with provitions,. and destined for the relief of Norway, I conceived it to be an object to . . at-- tempt getting them out; and the Officers, and crews of both ships having volunteered, Llast night, sent three boats from this ship, and the Tartarus two, all under the direction of Lieut. WM. ELLIOT, nied by Mr HUGH STEWART, master; Lieut. BOGER of the Royal Marines; and Messrs. BEAZELY, DURELL, ELLIOT, MOORE, and AYTON, midshipmen ; and Lieutenants GIT- TINS and PATERsoN, and Messrs. STEPF. ORD, LUSSMAN, and ANDREWS) midshipmen of the Tartarus. They were towed near the shore by the Fornvard gun- brig; They found the vessels moored close under the Fort of the Gas- tie, which mounts ten guns, - with hawsers fast to the shore ; and immediately on getting to them the alarm was given by some Danish boats, the Danes instantly forsook the vessels and the Castle. and three other guns began,. and kept up a heavy lire of round., grape, and mus- ketry ; many of the shot went through the hulls and sails of the vessels ; notwithstanding which the five boats cleared the harbour of: all but two brigs, both light, and one of them with neither sails nor rudder. As no credit can accrue but to those who planned and executed this enterprize, I trust, Sir, I may be allowed to express to you my admiration ef the 3teady valourand good conduct of Lieutenant ELLIOT ( whose behaviour at all times led ine to expect it from him,) as well as every Officer and man employed in it. He speaks in the strongest terms of the courage and steadiness of the Of- ficers, Petty Officers, seamen, and marines of both ships. I am happy, Sir; to add, that the loss is very trifling on either side, which I am surprised at, having observed from the ship the heavy fire kept up by the enemy. A Da- nish boat, with five men in, having the teme- rity to persist in endeavouring to retake one of the vessels, although repeatedly warned by Lieutenant ELLIOT, the latter was obliged with his people to fire in their own defence, s& d three of the five fell; on our side there were three wounded by the enemy, and one by mis- take, but none badly. Amongst the former is Lieutenant ELLIOT, which, with his being an old Lieutenant, and a very deserving 0! heer, will, I trust, be an additional inducement with you to recommend him to the notice of my Lords Gommissioners of the Admiralty. I inclose a list of the wounded. There is a A D V £ R f I S E R for iB had received to be perfectly correct, for I ob- served the enemy in- shore in chace of several vessels, about 5 P. M.

At length I had the pleasure of laying him alongside after a seven hours' chats, about one o'clock oil the morn- ing of the 2d, when I gave her a whole broad- side, and wore round and gave her another, when she struck.

She r - • had taken a brig from Dundee, in ballast, for America, and a sloop from Banff, also in ballast, the day before ; and when I sbseryed her she had just boarded a slodp of this place, and was in chace of several other vessels, which would have inevitably been captured had I not hove in sight.

After a few observations from the Earl of LAUDERDALE, his motion ' was NEGATIVED, SC the Interlocutor of the Court of Session AF- FIRM'ED,- with the tilteraison proposed by the LORD CHANCELLOR.

The judgement of the Court of Session, Sd of February 1808, as Lords Commissioners of Teinds, was, "• This Court having been esta- blished- by an act in tht year 1707, as a perma- nent Court of Commission, in pla'ce of the for- mer temporary commission, for the . purpose: ' inter alie7, of modifying and augmenting the stipends of Parochial Ministers, out of the Tiends; it is the duty of the Court, and with- in its powers, as recognized by the House of Lordsj in two- decided cases, in the years 1784 atid- l789j and b- y. the uniform practice of the Court, acquiesced in by all parties, in a great variety of instances, ever since the last, men- tioned peifod?, to receive such applications, when made in the regular form, and to decide upon them according to the state of matters at the time, & fb'e merits of each particalar case, mounting, eight guns and thirty- one men, out .,, /, , , , : me uii « -, ot luc IHCI NJ cantur/ I notwithstanding a former, augmentation, since capture.

On Friday, Mr CLERK was finally heard in his reply ( being his fifth day of speaking there- on). on tV behalf of the appellants. Saturday, May 21. The House met this night to determine on ' infofmatiuD I" tKe mode of proceeding' ia this cause. After. portant cause may be returned to the Cou: £ of - Session before it can receive any decision here. By the interlocutor of the Court of Session, i; is found, " That the Estates of Rexiurgh wen heldby the late WM.

It. ap. pears probable, from this interlocutor, that neither Sir JAMES NORCLIFF INNES KER, nor Brigadier- General KER, have proved their pe- digree, else there would have : been a finding to that effect, and the word persons would not have been used. Now, fcis Lordship remarked, that it was not the practice of that House to a- gitate abstract points of Law, without knowing that the proper parties were before them. Such an inquiry cannot originate in' the HOUSE of LORDS, which is a Court of Dernifr Resort. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Friday, May 20.

INSURRECTION AT MADRID. ATTACK UPON MURAT. The Moniteur of the 11th, gives intelligence from Madrid, written on the evening of the second, by which it appears that. Violent dis- turbances had taken place in that Capital. This Fr'& teh' account begins by stating, that ever since the events at Aranjuez, the people of Madrid had been in a disturbed state; that of- fence was daily given TP the French ; that for two days there had been numerous assemblies, which appeared to have some certain object iii tiew,' The cool and prudent part of tho French and Spanish saw that a crisis was ap- proaching, and wished to bring the multitude to reason. The Queen of ETRURIA and Don FnANcisCo wished to go to Bayoone. The Grand Duke of BERG, General MURAT, at- tempted to rescue them. He was surrounded AJ he was going to the Palace, and defended hirtiself long, and he was on the point of fall- ing, when ten grenadiers r& cued" him. At the sarue moment a second Officer was wound- ed, by another crowd. The great street of Akfllu, the Sun Gate, and the great Square, were crowded. The GRAND DLIITE gave the alarm, and flew to his post, and a Battalion of the French marched to theGRANDDuKEat the Palace, < vsith eutmdn, where the disturbers had assembled.' A firing took place from UVo ranks, and in A short time the multitude were dispersed.— General. GROUCHY was ordered to disperse the crowds in the street of Alcala— thirty pieces of cannon with grap> e shot, and a charge of cavalry, cleared all the streets. Yet the in- surgents, though they fled from the streets into the houses, fired from them up6n the F~ renth soldiers— Generals GUILLOT and DAUSRIH broke open the doors, and EILL who were found with arms in their hands were put to death.— General DAMESNEL made two charges with cavalry in the square, and had two horses Idl- ed under him, The insurgents made for the arsenal to stsize the arms and cannon— they broke in, but General LEFRAEN arrived in time to save the arms All who were in the arsenal < were put to death. The l^ rench Garrison of Madrid were close engaged in this affair.— When the firing of cannon was heard in the camps outside the City the troops marched immediately. When the EMPEROR received the tidings of" the above business, he wentto King CHARLES, and met him coming from the Empress's, where he had dined, and on telling him- the news, the King said—"- I have foreseen this evil— those who set the populace on think they can restrain them." The King instantly resolved to appoint the Grand Duke of BERG Lieutenant- General of the Kingdom, and at the same fin. E sent Pa- tents to the Councils of Castile and War. The King afterwards" called- the Prince of pn 3W T As TV R I AS to Elm, and read the Grand Duke of BERG'S Letter. He observed to him, that he now saw the result of his criminal conduct in flattering tbe prejudices of the people, and forgetting the sacred respect he owed to tiie Throne and the lawful Authorities— Popular commotions were like lire, easily excited, but it required another mind and another arm than his to extinguish them. The next article is a letter from BONAPARTE ~ to the PRINCE of ASTORIAS, dated the 16th April, in which he defends the PRINCE of PEACE He addresses him 41 My Brother," at the beginnning ; but in the body ot the Lt- ' ter styles him only " Royal Highness." The next is a long letterfiom King CHARLES' to the PRINCE of ASTURIAS, dated the 2d May, relative to hrs conduct. The sd article IS the following letter from the PRINCE of ASTURIAS to the Infant Don A* ITONIO at Madrid.— " I have sect the following letter to my dear Father to- day:— 1 Honoured Father and Lord, In ai der, to give you a proof of my love and obedience, and in fulfilment of your desire, I resign iny Crown in favour of your MAJEST: Y, wishing you may enjoy it many years! l_ . re- commend to your MAJESTY the persons who have served me since the 19th of March.

In half an' hour after their arrival^ his Majesty- paid them a visit, which was of long duration. They reside in the Government Palace, while the Emperor and Empress hare taken up their j residence in the castle of Marrac. Among the Spaniards who waited upon King CHARLES IV. & Queen LOUISA, was the PRINCE of ASTURIAS, their son. After the u- Bual salutation, their Majesties retired; the Prince wasdesirous to. follow them ; but die King evented him, saying in Spanish—" Prince, have you not yet enough insulted my grey hairs ?"

The PRINCE REGENT arrived zi- Rio Janeiro from Bahia on the 7th March, and was receiv- ed with every possible demonstration of the most sincere affection by the Inhabitants. Ilis Royal Highness has instituted a new order cal- led the " Order of Fidelity," and Commodore MOORE and Captain WALKER were among the first that were decorated with the Insignia of the new Order. Ministers have, we hear, intimated to Mr. PINCKNEY ( as a mark of their amicable dispo- sition towards AMERICA), their readiness to pass an Act by which the UNITED STATES shall be considered as the most favoured Na- tion, and shall enjoy in all our ports and settle- ments the rights and privileges that may have been enjoyed at any time by any other Power in amity with GREAT BRITAIN: The right of searching merchant ships is not and will hot be surrendered. If thest? propositions shall not be deemecj a sufficient tc< st of- our a- micable spirit, then the . UNITED STATES may act as thiy shall judge fit: this is to be consi- dered as the BRITISH ULTIMATUM. Of course no answer could be given by Mr. PINCKNEY, to these propositions; but they have been transmitted to AMERICA, by Mr. PINCKNEY'S son, and Mr. LEWIS. Mr. PINCKNEY, son of the American Mi- 1 nisterin this country, and Mr. LEWIS, who' was sent to Paris with the dispatches from the American Government for Gen. ARMSTRONG, have sailed for America in the Usage. Mr. NOURSF. remains in London. The discussions betwixt the BRITISH and AMERICAN Ministers were conducted with the greatest harmony. The Ernbargo . upon Jlmerican vessels is to be extended to the ports of Portugal, as well as to the Spanish and French ports.

The Captain of a vessel which arrived a few days :: go at Plymouth from Lisbon, states, that the Russian Fleet in the Tagus' was in such distress fgr want of provisions, that it was ex- pectedxhat Admiral SINIAVIN would attempt to put to sea, even at the risk of falling in with our ' Blockading Squadron, if the French did General JUNOT, as a mark of his master's for the attention and fidelity with which he had discharged the duties of it. .

A petty Officer was killed, & several of the crew of the frigate are likewise reported to be wounded.

MUIR M'- KENZIE, of Delvine, Bart, have made offer of tljeir services as Local Militia; and that when this was proposed by . the Officers to fhe different Companies, the propbsal was'received with the most hearty concurrence on thepa t if the men, and with repeated cheers. TheCurAR Corps ot VOLUNTEERS, at their parade on the isth curt, UNANIMOUSLY came forward- ar, d Volunteered to transfer their ser- vices to'that of the [ LOCAL MILITIA, in the event of such a force being established in the country. We hear that the KIRKCALDY Regiment of Royal Fifeshire Volunteer Infantry, 570 strong, under the command of Colonel DOUGL/. S, have agreed to transfer their services into the LOCAL MIHTIA, on the terms which may be offered by Government, under the act of Par- liament now pending. AYR, May 19.—" On Monday last, at the parade of the division of this town of the AYRSHIRE . RIPEE BATTALION, in conee- quence of its being undei stood that a pretty general inclination existed among these VOLUN- TEERS to extend their services, and become LOCAL MILITIA, Colonel A. W. HAMILTON, their Commander, submitted a proposition . to that effect to their choice. In doing so, the. Colonel did not press the measure on thetn, particularly those who had families. He left it to their free choice; nor, as the whole pfo- visions of the Bill were but imperfectly known, would he consider their offer as a definitive en- gagement, should any material alteration take place from what was at present known ; and he hoped that they all \* ould be of opinion with him that however pleasant it might be for' a general demonstration to be shewn, to meet the views of his Majesty's Government, yet that no imputation was chargeable On those who might feel any inconvenience in the mea- sure proposed. Upon inquiry at each indivi- dual, abotcfour- fflhs of the whole agreed to the proposals of the Colonel. The Kilmar- nock division of the battalion are equally wil- linty. to transfer their cfMrwii-^ e " ling, to transfer their services."

The. inhabitants, to the number of two thou- sand, have hitherto been supplied with every arti- cle of necessity by the proprietors af the Iron- works, but as they are now about to give up the store, there is in consequence a good opening for tjie establishment of tradesmen of every descrip. tion, and a ready- money market for every article used by that class of people. The lands to be feued are bounded by the new tuttepike road from Edinburgh to Lanark, and are distant. about 24 miles from the former, 8 from tiie latter, 28 mile's from Glasgow, 6 from Carnwatb and Whitburn, and about 7 from West Calder, to all which places there are constant and regular arriers. Good Situation for an Inn.— About a mile north from the Iron- works, there is a very eli- gible situation for the erection of an Inn, for which purpose the proprietor is willing to give what ground may be necessary, either in feu or lease. It is on the before- tix'ntioned road fro^ i Edinbu » ghto Lanark, ^ tid being about halfway between Edinburgh and Lanark, is well adapted for keeping post- horses, this roud being, now the most approved, and likely to become still more public, by a new branch about to be made to communicate with Ayrshire.
