HOUSE OF COMMONS, MONDA Y—Lord Castlereagh appeared at the Bar with a Message from the Prince ltcgcijt GEO. P. R. The Prince Regent, acting in the name and on behalf of his Majesty, thinks it right to inform the House of Commons, that, in consequence of the events which have recently taken place in France, in direct contravention of the Treaty concluded at Paris in the last year, his Royal Highness has judged it necessary to enter inio enga,enic.nts,witli liif; Allies, for the purpose of forming such a concert, as may prevent the re- vival of a system which experience-, has proved incompatible with the peace and iedependerice of Europs. His lloval Highness has given orders that copies of the treaties into which he has en- tered with his Allies slJOuld be laid before the House, immediately, for its information—and confidently relies on the support of" the House, to enable him to take such steps, against the comuiou eheUij^ as may be deemed proper at this Lord Casllgreagh moved, thai- his Royal fligh- ness's Message be taken into consideration to- morrow. n Mr. l'otlonby complained of the shortness of the time. Lord Castlereagh onbeing pressed by Mr. Whit- bread, mentioned theHOIISK would not be pledg- ed by the Address to; suf port the Crown in such measures as it should ade pt in conjunction with the Allies against the common enemy—measures that constitute a state of hostility against France —against Napoleon Bonaparte, and all who ad- hered to him. The Treaty with Austria he said had not been formally ratified, but it only wanted the ministerial formal approbation, the mere or. nameut of omce. After some further conversation between Lord Castlereagh, Mr. Whitbread, and Mr. Tierney, from which it appeared that there was no formal Treaty of the arrangements of Congress, although the Treaty, of the 25th. March bound the parties to maintain those arrangements. Lord Castlereagh then presented copies of the rat ified Treaties entered into between this country and its allies a copy of the communication from Monsieur Cauliucourt (Duke of Vicenza). with the overture from Napoleon Bonaparte, dated April 4th; Lord Castlereagh's answer thereto, on the 8th of April; the answer of the Allies thereto, &c. TUESDAY.—An interesting discussion took place in the House of Lords, on the question of War. The Earl of Liverpool, in a most amiable and luminous speech, descanted on the bad faith and aggressions of Bonaparte, and proved the existence of the most justifiable grounds of war. Earl C,rey, iu an elaborate answer, contended that there was no just ground of war, and not the remotest prospect of a successful result. He topic a very we do not hesitate to say, a most erropeous view of the subject; and by moving.ar. Amendment to the Ad- dress moved by Lord Liverpool to the Prince Regent. Lord,Bathur.st most satisfactorily re- plied to the arguments of Lord Grey.— Lord 0 i'a. Grenville, nobly sacrificing all party considera- tions la the public good, totally dissented from Lord Grey, aiid in terms at once creditable to his head and heart,'strongly urged L.I,.e necessity of carrying on the war with vigour, against a man whose bad faith rendered it impossible that the peace of Europe could be preserved, as long as iieremaincd at the head of a great nation. After a long debate, Lord Grey's Amendment was lie. gatived I.y a majorityof 15(5 to 44. THURSDAY.— At night the Prince Regent's Message became the subject of discussion in the House of Commons. The Address was moved by Lord Castlereagh, in a luminous and well ar- ranged speech, which made a strong impression on the House. An amendment was moved by Lord George Cavendish. The debate that fol- lowed was remarkably animated, and was ren- dered highly interesting by Mr. Grattan, Mr Wynne, and Mr. Plunkett supporting the Ad- dress, which they did With great force of argu- ment. Mr, Grattan's speech was splendidly elo- quent, and brilliant in antithesis. That these Gentlemen should be found, on the present qilcs- I r tiou, giving their hearty support to the Execu- tive Government will surprise none who have laboured to acquire for themselves a just view of the present crisis. It is honourabfe to the cha- racter of Parliament that questions should be discussed simply on their own merits, independ- ently of party prejudices, not to say party feeling- We hold it to f>e just"as impossible that Gentle- men who uniformly vote against Ministers can be convinced that they are never right, as in those who uniformly vote for them to believe they can never err. If ever a question earns before Par- liament on which men who usually concur in their political views may be led to differ, the present is one.

COMMEMORATION OF THE BIRTH OF Mil, PITT. TnEPt'PTCujHou Saturday had their A ii- nual Festival at tIle City of London Tavern, to celebrate the birth-day of Mr. Pitt. The atten- dance was equally numerous and splendid. Sir R. -Peel, Bart. M. P. in the Chair. (The cloth removed) 14 jyou nobis Domine," was sung the King was drunk with three times three, and the band and singers performed Gad save the King." The Chairman, in rising to introduce the toast, which it now became his duty to propose, the health of the Prince Regent," felt called upon to remind the company of what they and the nation at large owed to the patriotism of that illustrious personage, which he thought had been so con- spicuously displayed, that it ought to live in the annals of the Pitt Club. When it pleased Pro- vidence to visit his Majesty with that affliction under which he still laboured, the Prince was caIled upon. to assume the functions of royalty, and from his early connections, it was generally supposed a change of men and measures would take place. He, however, on considering the merit, the services, and the popularity of his Majesty's Ministers, had, uninfluenced by any one, and solely guided by the impulse of his own mind, and made them his own. (Loud apphmse.) This toast was drank with acclamation.— Glee, "Hail Star ofBruuswick," The Queen, and the Duke of York," the other branches of the Royal Family, having been drank in the usual manner- The Chairman rose to propose The immortat memory of Mr. Pitt." He prefaced this sentiment by remarking that Mr. Pitt, had been made an instrument in the hands of Providence, toshieJdhistJativc land from impending ruin. That disorganization which I had overwhelmed France, had visited England, and had called forth the great [lowers of Mr. Pitt, in a very extraordinary manner. At crisis, sensible of the awful situation in which the country-was placed, by his influence in Parlia- -1 pi ment.,and by his almost supernatural eloquence, he raised such a spirit throughout the nation, that the danger was soon at an end, the demon of discord subdued, and security and tranquillity I estored,-( Lond a l)p,lallse.-After shortly eulo- gising the devotion of Mr. Piti, in the cause of his country, he expressed a fervent wish that his principles would be perpetuated by the Clubs established in his name throughout the Empire, which he considered the best means of preserv- Ing the stability of the Throne and the happiness of the people. The toast was drank with loud acclamations, which lasted many minutes. Glee, Pitt's illustrious name." M The House of Brunswick, and may -they never forget the principles that seated them on the Throne of these Realms," was the next tpast. Glée, The King- and the Church.—The Glee was repeatedly interrupted by applause. The Protestant Ascendancy" was tJrunkwith the lltmost enthusiasm. The applause did not whollv subside in less than ten minutes. The Chairman then said, that he rose to pro- pose a toast in, which lie was sure all present would most cordially; join him—" The Prince Regent's Ministers." (Loud applause.) They Regent's Ministers." (Loud applause.) They 11 ad liatl great, (lifrictzliie3 to contend with, and they had subdued those difficulties in a manner glorious to the country, and highly creditable to themselves Their victories and their modera- tion alike challenged admiration, and they had;; bad the happiness of placing the English uaing 1 &' I above that of every otlier nati-on.- (Shouts of II applause.) The toast having been drunk, '• Lord Liverpool arose, and spoke as follows — On the pari of the Prince Regent's 'Ministers, I beg to return their warmest thanks for the ho- nour which you have just done them. If their humble efforts haye been at all successful in averting any of the dangers with which thiscoun- try was menaced, that success is to be ascribed I to the support which it has been their happiness to receive from the country, and mainly to their firm adherence (if I may be allowed to say so), I to the principles and policy of Mr. Pitt.-(Ap- e plause.) There are no circumstances under which t should not be proud to avow this sentiment; but when we consider, that the moment that I am I now addressing you, a new war is about to com- mence in Europe, which wiil require the exertion of all the best energies and talents of the coun- try, I am sure you will agree with me that our best cllanccof success will be found in persever- ance in the principles, and following the exam pie of that CHEAT MAN, whom we all loved whilst living, jirid ;o whom, now that he is no more, we look hack with reverence and gratitude, and stili I consider as our leader, our instructor, and our I guide ;( Lodd and continued Applause.) May the principles of Mr. PITT always ani- mate the Councils of Britain"—-and Prosperity to the Pttt Club" were next given. The latter toast was proposed by Lord liarrowb)-Son, J Wfi-en-nattrre-nTged by Heaven's conunand." Lord Castlereagh rose to propose the health of the Chairman ;-— a to celebrate (he birthof. Mr,Pltt, aud Ii) uphold those'principLes, the ad- herence to which they all believed to have saved the country, he was sure they could not do bet- ter than by drinking the toast which he had pro- posed., The system of Mr. Pitt went to insure to every man in the country that situation which the honest exertion of his talents for fhagenerai good entitled him to fill, and this was happily exemplified in the instance of their worthyJricnd in the Chair. He therefore trusted that the toast would be drunk with that cordiality and zezil which would do honour to them, and justice fo their Chairman." The toast having been drunk with great ap- plause. Sir R. Peel returned thanks, and paid a new tribute of praise to the principles and conduct of Pitt. The memory of the late Admiral Lord Nelson, and the health of the Duke of Wellington, were the next toasts, each being introduced with all appropriate speech by the Chairman. Air. W. Polecould not refrain from endeavour- ing to return thanks for the honour which his Noble Relation had just received, The Duke of Wellington had been brought up in the principles of Mr, Pitt, who was the first, fie iiiigiit atryiost veiittire to sty, to foresee ttiit he (the Duke of Wellington), would one day render importantsefviccs to his country. The Duke of Wellington was about to go to a new war—he went loaded with the favours of his So- vereign and grateful country, and he felt what was (iie to it for what it had done for him, and he felt on taking his command, what was no in considerable grutifloat ion to him as an honest man, that lie cause in-which, his sword was. on the eve of being drawn WAS A .JUST ONE. He (illr, W. POle) IHHI lately heard the Duke of Wcl1ington say. wilh a b:uh of modesty on his cheek, hut with a flash of lire (always attendant on the spirit ol enterprise) from his eye, that if the expected war did breakout,he doubted no t the armv uude-r his command would do its duty in a manner that would not disappoint the ex- pectation* of his countrymen.—(Applause.) He (Mr. W. Pole) trusted that in this the Duke of Wellington would not himself be disappointed; and, perhaps; vc wouio ne me gicatcst tion of his life, if, on his return, he should find in that room from that company a reception like that which his health had met with that day.— (Loud applause.) The Allies of Great Britain, and success to their efforts to procure the world Peace," and Tho health of Louis Xvlll." were severally given. The latter toast called forth the most enthusi. astic acclamations. The shouts of the company were long continued, and white handkerchiefs waved in every part of the room. Count Lynch (of Bourdeaux) returned thanks inFrench,for the manner in which the health of HIS SOVEREIGN' had been received. He felt that but for the generous exertions of England, Europe would have been subjugated to the yoke of Bonaparte. Happy England I she could protect her own independence, and rescue other nations from oppression. He confidently tn/sted that, aided by this nation, Franco would soon recover her liberty, her rights, and her con- stitution, which were inseparable from the cause of her legitimate Monarch, and that she at no distant period would join with the other Powers of Europe gratefully to acknowledge the debt she owed to this country.—(Loud applause). The Chairman next gave—" The City of Lon- don." Mr. Slierit- iLeigli and Mr. Atcheson returned thanks for (he honour done to the City of Lon- don on this occasion. The latter expressed the satisfaction which the Members of the Pitt Club felt on the steady adherence of the loyal and in- dependent Livery, to the principles for which they had associated, and for their late spirited and patriotic address in opposition to the factious resolutions of the Common Hall. The Duke of Richmond, President of the Pitt Club," and the health of Lord Castle- reagh" were proposed front the Chair, and drunk with three times three, and with loud shouts of apphtose. Lord Castlereagh felt very great difficulty in attempting to return thanks for the unmerited honourhe had received. The much too flattering er in which the Chairman had proposed his liealth, and the reception which the Meeting had been pleased to give it, certainly went infinitely beyond any thing that could be due to his humble exertions^ either at home or abroad. If he had had the good fortune, under the instructions of his colleagues, to render any service to his coua try, it was to their judicious directions, and an ardent desire to imitate the policy of Mr Pitt, that this success was to be attributed. To adhere to the principles of that great man, had ever been his object, which he had pursued with the utmost diligence, and to it he owed the approba- tion which had been bestowed on his efforts, in the arduous situation in which the Crown had placed him,-( Loud applauses). The Pitt Clubs throughout the kingdom," was the next toast. When the applause with which this was drunk had subsided, the Ministers took leave of the assembly, and retired as they Lad entered, amidst loud acclamations. Count Lynch was particularly noticed as he left the room, and was cheered with the utmost enthusi- asm.. •' The Landed and Commercial Interests of Great Britain"—"The Marquis of Huntley"— and The Right Hon. Robert Peel," were the I I)ext toist, Mr, It. Peel (son to the Chairman) was little prepared to do justice to the honour he received; which was equally unexpected, and he feared un- deserved. He could have no oilier cla;m to it ttlan fab cordial attasUsneat to those principles l t which that Club was assemBle^fto honour, and te hojJed, to prpetuate In ih >se principles he had i en educated from liis earliest youth, and in his short political catesyr they had, I)eeii c(,nfii-med.- Fie requested them to accept of his sincere thanks, aiid begged to drink td the health and happinesa of ail present. .1 The Chairman then retired amidst the plaudits of the whole Assembly. Air. Bhckbiini was thenoailed to the Chair, add the conviviality of the Meeting was continued till midnight. A variety of loynl and patriotic ,toasts were given in succt-siion. The healths of Air. Blackburn,ILord Eldon, Air. Atcheson (the founder of the Society), the Honorary Secretary, Treasurer, and other Members of the Pitt Club," were drunk with great applause but U the me- mory of Air. Perceval," in solemn silence. The utmost satisfaction prevailed throughout the en- tertainment, and the evening closed, as the day had bee, perfect harmony. The great- est credit is due to the Committee and the Stew- ards for their arrangements, which were the most complete we ever saw t

Fatal OccLrrezzce-Aii unfortunate and fatal occurrence took place at Sid mouth on Thursday week, the £8lh. A young couple had been mar- ried in the morning at Otterton, and had resolved with their friends, consisting of nine females and six men, including the owner of a boat, to pass the day at Sidiiiouth. For this purpose they en* gaged a small lug-sail boat at Biidleigh-Salterton, to convey them thither, and back again in the evening. On their return, it appeared very evi- dent. from want of skill in the boatmen, that they were in dang-er of being upset—which actually happened when they were about two miles out at sea all the women were thrown out, and la- mentable to say, each of them perished. The boat afterwards righting, the six men recovered their former places, silting up to their necks iue water, till boats pushed off-from the beach to their assistance and took them in. The b'&atnian, Who had just returned fPOrn serving; in the navy, trusting to his'swimming, unhappily quit ted the boat upon the approach of one of the boats from the shore, but being exhausted, sunk jusi before he reached it. Five of the; women were picked up floating on the water, and brought ashore, when prompt medical assistance was given by Mr. Higham, and other gentlemen of the faculty in the place, but Unfortunately, after trying every possible means of restoring life, their etideavourg proved ineffectual.
