Whitt it is the rm of the Bri:ish :said Foreign Bible Society, to put into the hands of every poor per.on, a: home and abroad, a copy o f t h e iptures iii his native language, the British and Foreign School Society proposes, without distinction of sects or religious denottil. Rations, to enable everi poor c! ild to read that inestimable Book. By the rperat:ons of this Society, an impulse has been given to the public mind, in favour of general Education, far surpassing the attempts of former times. Stimulated by its example, a kindred Society has sprung up, erensive by its means, but limited by its ptiuciples, to England and Wales, and to oneldehontina tit.. alone. '1 h. moralising effects of this plan are become more and more apparent in Ireland, where enlightened individuals have regu- Lvly exerted themselves in the erection and support of Schools, sad the principles of this Society have been recognised by Go• orriment, as alone applicable to the Instruction of that important part of the British limp's... The exertions of this Society have corresponded with the extent of its title. Commencing In Bri tain, it has out forth guaidied Teachers, with lessons and o her requisites to Foreign parts. By i.s assistance Saranis have been tablished or are now in progress in France, Germany, Russia, (testy, Geneva, Asia, Africa, and America. 'lltrougla the agency ot the Schools already Iletabliihed, the bnportatit benefits ot this kocirty may be imparted to the rising generation of the whole world. Millions who have bctni sa mg Ist darkness, may be visited with the light of inset 'Action, and the glorious era be hastened, when the knowledge of the Loas shall sever the earth. as the waters cover the sea. An Institution like this, aiming at the instruction of every child on the globe, might naturally•be expected in its infancy to have bad difficulties to struggle wi.h ; happily by the generous mud*t the friends to this cause, the bociuty has now the prospect with a aiaderax degree of exertion, of being relieved front its difficte.ties, and enabled to proci ed in its glorious object with hi. sireased v guur. Ot the awn of .E. 0,000 proposed to be raised tar discharging the debts, and r th' erection of Schools, with a house suitable fur ae erablishrmist fur arming Mainers and fen.- sre-ses, nearly ,C61:00 have been raised, and the committee ear mealy solicit the aid of every advuc.te fur a liberal System of iducatton, to exert his it:Beene , with his friends on behalt of this Institution, that by on: untied effort the object may be realised, which were it to have failed far want of pecuniary aid, woutel have b.en the sutject et lasting regret, as au incalculable loss to ass .kind.

Disaffection has endeavoured, for some dark past, to spread alarming reports, which are completely be lied by the accounts we receive from different parts of the kingdom. Some gensd'armes arrested at Ville franche n officers. whose papers were not regular, and hence have been supposed disturb tnces at Lyons and Bourdeaux, where all is perfectly tranquil. Trooes from the garrison of Paris have been placed at Vincennes, and hence newsmongers have imagined that they were dispatched to the South. It is' to be hoped that the firm march of government will put 'an end to these tactics of agitators, and that those who are the dupes of them will soon blush for their cre dulity. A female news-vender was yesterday condemned to two months' imprisonment, for having, on the 19th of January, hawked about the streets extracts from the Oficial Gazette, and bawled out that they •innounced the alarming news of the re-entrance of the English-into France, and of a great conspiracy. We learn from the Neurtlit Journal, that twenty one military have been transferred from Luneville to I:IC prisons of Nancy. The cause of their arrest is unknown. The aew work of M. de Pradt, soon to make its appearanze, will contain an account of the secret ne gotiations he was charged to con/bier, about the commencement of the war in Spain, with the canon Escoiquez, who had been tutor to King Ferdinand. Pmtis, MARCH 14. His Majesty has oidered the erection of a monu• ment to the memory of the Duke d'Enghien, in the fosse of. the castle of Vincennes, on the spot where that Prince was murdered.. On the 21st Lis remains will be exhumated, and solemnly deposited in the tomb consecrated to his memory. The Prince of Hesse-Philipuhal, Captain General of the Neapolitan army, died at Naples on the 15th ultimo. By the destruction of the Theatre of San Carlo; in that city, the proprietors are suppo s ed leave sustained a loss of 150,090 ducats, in dresses, dnorations, &c. The King of Naples means to re hu 1.1 hundred workmen will be employed for that purpose. They write from Petershurgh under the date of the 1511 February--. 4 No Frenchman comprehended in the King's ordinance Odle 24th July, will be allowed to fix his residence holire It is said that some will go to kega, and others to Oman." _ 'The Adjutant-General Bnyer'has applied for a re• vision, nit, as he states, with a view to quash a sen tence which he acknowledges to be just, but to obtain time to implore the clemency of his Majesty. Knme persons have been arrested at Coutal for sedition. Duchesss d'Angouleme has left,this city for Sens for a iew days. lie proceedings against General Bonnaire are in train. The Mayor Assistant of Lenoncourt, who had been severely Wounded by a Russian soldier last Oc tober, hai received * present c.f . 500 francs from the Commandant, Count Woronzoff, who, besides, hat the culprit properly punished. Recent accounts from Guadaloupe state the linha• bit Ants hail with joy and gratitude the Royal Govern ment. The Notables of the Wand have sent an Ad dress u' Count Vaugiraud, Governor-General of the Antilles, imploring him to expedite his return. Letters from Turkey state, that a dreadful fire has consumed a great part of the city of Adrianople. It raged two days and two nights without interruption. Sixteen Turkish vesselshave perished through a tem pest in the Archipelago. The Archduchess Maria Louisa will not set out for Parma until the return of her august parents, which is not expeeted before the close of this month. This Princess intends to pass the summer in her LANs do- minions, and will afterwards return to Vienna. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES-SITTING •r TUE 1311. M. ST. ALDIGONDI reported on 'rations petitions presented to the Chamber. _ _ Among these was a petition from the beneficent so ciety of Paris, betting forth the dangerous effects of the methods of education of Bell and Lancaster, and praying the Chamber to favour and extend the useful institution of the Brothers of the Christian school. A petition was presented from various dealers at Verdun, praying the intervention of the Chamber in order to obtain payment of sums due to them by the English prisoners and hostages detained there under the late government. The Reporter stated, that the Committee had obtained information on this 'abject, from the Minister for Foreign affairs to the following effect a..." That, by the treaty of the 80th of May, 1814, the prisoners of war respectively were bound to pay the debts they bad contracted, before depart ing from their place of detention. This entitled the Verdun petitioners to detain their debtors, or tb re _quire security ; but was quite inapplicable when the prisoners returned to England. Neither government guaranteed the payment of such debts; but the Eng lish government having already proved, by More than one example, its a ish to do full justice to French subjects, who had claims to substantiate" in England, the petitioners might transmit. their proofs of debt, properly authenticated, to the French ambassador at London, who would claim for them the assistance of the English government." One Wells, a merchant and a foreigner, com plained, in his petition, of a denial of justice. Having been arrested and detained at the prison of La Force without knowing the reason, he claimed being brought to trial. The Reporter stated, that from information obtained from the department of Police, it appeared that this persun had been arrested for circulating ca lumnious pamphlets against the Courts of Austria and Prnssia, and, on the demand of the Ministers of these Powers, be was in a course of being brought to trial. 'VIENNA, MARCH 2. The plan for the reduction of our army, in order to relieve - the finances, which Prince Schwartzenburg has submitted to the Emperor at Milan, has been ap proved. The peace establishment of the army will be 150,000 infantry, and 18,000 cavalry—total, 168,000 men. peace establishment of the army in .Snened is 176,000 men. The simplification of judicial forms, which now are attended with interminable delays, is at present under consideration. The hereditary jurisdictions of the nobility and some cities will be suppressed, iss order to substitute every where imperial, tribua4ll. THE EVENING SfAlt. LONDON. MONDAY, MARCH 18, 1816.

An Evening Paper of Saturday presented it:: Readers with a copy of the Counta Petition of ti:e Merchants, Bankers, and Traders, of the C.:y of London, in favour of a modified Property Tax, which it was intended should lie for signatures at the Lon don Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, till firer o'cic.:l on Monday afternoon.

It is affirmed, that the agreement among the Alßel Powers, respecting the future residence of the pri sons banished from France, concerns only those two classes, included in the Royal Ordonnance of the 24th of July ; but not those who, though out mea tioned in the Ordonnance, are excluded Irian tar amnesty. It is not known whether Any new arrange ments will be made respecting the latter. According to accounts from Strasburg, the public trial of General Gruyer, who is in the militia y prism there, has not yet commenced. This GebetAl was, iO March 1815, Ccrnmander in Chief ..f the Depart ment of the Upper SAone—he is a mei imrious soldier, covered with wound's. The unhappy infatuation which at that time pre. %railed in the French army, carried him away with it. Even before the 20th of March, when Generals Brayer, Mouton, Davernet, &c. at Lyons, and also Ney, had given the example of treason, and toe je• .surtection had braen out in the Departments of Burgundy, Gruyer published in his division, the proclamations of Napoleon and Ney, instead of the commands of the King. This fact is now adduced :!gainst him, and caused his arrest at the end of 1815. The preliminary examinations had begun some time, when Gruyer invoked in his fast, 4r, the amnesty passed by the Chambers, at the dtsile of the Ring. l'he trial is suspended till the answer of the Govern. trent is known. Similar appeals, k is said, have ;een made by Generals and Officers, who have been a I sted in other mum departments, upon which the answer of the Minister of Was is waited for.
