reciprocity appears to her an injustice.-A measure was yesterday taken with the English who were in Paris, which, it is said, will be adopted generally to all those who are in France. According to the directions which were given to each of them, at their place of residence, they repaired to the place where the staff was assembled, where their names were taken down, and an order was given to them, to go to-morrow to Gen. Junot, the commandant of the place.-It is thought that the place will then be pointed out to them, to which they are to go and reside, until some determination is come to respecting them, conformably to the conduct which shall be adopted in England. It is said that all the English now in Paris, will be sent to Fountainbleau.

Proclamation by his Majesty as Elector of Hanover. -GEORGE III. &c.-Whatever the event of the differences now existing between our Crown and the French government may be, we shall, in our capacity as Elector and Member of the German Empire, observe the strictest neutrality, and might therefore justly and confidently expect, that whatever termination the present negotiation may have, our German States and faithful subjects will not be affected by any consequences which may ensue. Considering, however, the obvious movements of the troops in Holland, the possibility must occur to us, that in case the before-mentioned differences should, against our wishes, not be amicably settled, our German States and subjects may be exposed to a danger, which, if realised, would have the most unfortunate consequences for the whole country in general, and every individual in particular: we, for this reason, hold it to be our most sacred duty to adopt such means, as will, under the blessing of God, prove most efficacious to protect our faithful German subjects, whom Divine Providence has committed to our care. We apply, therefore, to all the loyal subjects of our German States with that confidence to which the love and affection we bear our people, and their uninterrupted loyalty and attachment intitle us to make, in case of such danger, all those efforts and sacrifices to which the duties they owe to us, their loving Sovereign, their attachment to their native country, their family connexions, and every thing dear to them, already bind them. And we do it with the more confidence, as our dearly beloved Son, the Duke of Cambridge, actuated by the teader affection he bears our faithful German States and subjects, is willing to share every danger that may befall them, and personally to assist in every thing that may promote their safety and security. To be prepared for every event that may happen, it is for the present ab solutely necessary to know immediately, the exact number of our German subjects, who, if necessity calls, can take up arms for the defence of their country. it is to effect this, that we command all the magistrates of our German States, to lose no time in giving in complete lists of such our German subjects as are fit for military service, excepting those only who serve us, and their country in other capacities: and to make them solemnly promise to come forth when called upon, and give all the assistance in their power for the de

fence of their country, whenever, and for as long as may be thought necessary. -The known loyalty and patriotism of our beloved subjects, leave us no room to suppose, that any one of them will be so lost, as to transgress so solemn an obligation, or to withdraw himself by a cowardly and treacherous flight from giving his assistance to the defence of his country-Should, however, against our better expectations such be found, who, in time of danger would desert their country and refuse their aid, such wretches shall, the case being lawfully proved, without hope of pardon, be deprived of all they may possess in our German dominions, and be cut off from all inheritance therein. But we have a better opinion of all our German subjects, and are firmly persuaded, that when necessity calls, they will unanimously and zealously unite to assist, to the utmost of their power in the defence, and for the salvation of their native country.

Monday, May 16.-On the 14th inst. the Lord Mayor received the following letter from Lord Hawkesbury:

"My Loid, I think it right to lose no time in informing your Lordship, that Lisle, the Messenger, has just arrived from Paris, with dispatches from Loid Whitworth, and that his Lordship had received his passports, and was on the point of setting out from Paris on Thursday evening, when the Messenger came away.I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) HAWKESBURY. This communication the Lord Mayor carried to

the Stock Exchange, and published in the usual manner. In the course of the morning various expresses had arrived with intelligence to the above effect, and the funds had fallen upon it. They recovered for some time upon the intelligence in Lord Hawkesbury's note, but they fell again, and left off at 614.

On the 15th, the French Ambassador received the Orders of his Court to depart, and accordingly yesterday morning, at 5 o'clock, he set off from his house in Portland Place, with his suite, and proceeded on their route for Dover..

On Thursday evening last, May the 12th, Lord Whitworth departed from Paris, and arrived on Friday night at Breteuil, where he received some communication, which induced his Lordship to send off Sylvester, the Messenger, who arrived in Town at one o'clock yesterday morning. What the nature of the circumstance was that induced his Lordship to take this step has not transpired, but we learn that Ministers on receiving his dispatch, sent back a Messenger with orders to him to come to London with all expedition. Lord Whitworth was prevented from sailing from Boulogne by a contrary wind, he was in consequence to proceed to Calais yesterday, and he was not therefore expected here before this day, the tide not serving to come out of the harbour till night.

Friday, May 20.-Lord Whitworth landed at Dover, at about twelve o'clock yesterday evening, and arrived in town on the night of the 19th. His Lordship was treated on his departure from Calais with every demonstration of respect by the peo ple, as well as by the municipal officers, and the military. He was saluted by a discharge of guns, and all parties seemed to regret the occasion of his departure. On his arrival at Dover, where he found General Andreossi, who had received similar honours, his Lordship sent a message to the French Ambassador, importing a desire to have an interview with his Excellency, before he left this country, and requesting that the latter would point out the mode for the accomplishment of that purpose. General Andreossi returned an answer expressive of high respect and acquiesence, but leaving the arrangement to Lord Whitworth. It was then determined that neither should meet the other at their respective Hotels, and an interview was held at a third place. What passed at this interview, we do not pretend to state. After the meeting, each of the Ambassadors visited the other at their hotels, and both expressed their strong sense of the treatment which they had received in their respective countries, and their anxious hopes that all causes of national differences would soon be removed. General Andreossi then took his leave, with every testimony of public and private respect. He embarked on Wednesday morning at 7 o'clock.

The grand ceremony of the installation of the Knights of the Bath took place on the 19th instant. We have only to remark, that the whole ceremony was conducted with the greatest possible order. The procession commenced about eleven, from the Prince's Chamber to the Abbey. It was near twelve before it had entered Henry VII.'s Chapel. The ceremony of installation took up nearly three hours. The Queen and Princesses had a gallery over the great gate, which they occupied during the ceremony of installation. The Duchess of York came to see the procession return. His Royal Highness the Duke of York, the Grand Master of the Order, was greeted by the

MR. WINDHAM.

The following account of the celebration of Mr. Windham's Birth Day, at the City of Norwich, will, we trust, give great pleasure to our Readers.

On the 14th of May, more than 140 of the friends of the Right Hon. Wm. Windham, in this City and its neighbourhood, dined at the White Swan, in St. Peter's, in order to celebrate that gentleman's Birth-Day.-The Stewards were, Sir Roger Kerrison, (Mayor of Norwich) Capt. Laton, Capt. John Harvey, and Alderman Browne. After dinner, the following toasts and sentiments were given:

The KING-May limited Monarchy ever be an overmatch for Consular despotism.

The Queen.

The Prince of Wales and Royal Family.
The Duke of York and the Army.
The Duke of Clarence and the Navy.

The Right Honourable Wm. Windham-May the day which gave birth to this accomplished and disinterested Statesman, ever be commemorated by all the truly loyal to the King and Constitution.

[On Mr. Windham's health being given from the Chair, Captain John Harvey pronounced a warm and spirited panegyric on his eminent talents and distinguished public services. He then read a letter which he had received from Mr. Windham, expressing, in terms highly flattering to the stewards and the company present, the sense which he entertained of so public a mark of their esteem.-After this, Mr. Windham's health was drunk with great applause, and a gentleman sung "Rule Britannia," with some additional stanzas, applicable to the occasion; the last of which was encored by the whole company, and Mr. Windham's health was drunk a second time with increased enthusiasm.]

The Mayor of Norwich-Prosperity to the City of Norwich-The Lord Lieutenant, and Prosperity to the County of Norfolk.
