DISPENSING Powrn OF THE TREASURY. SMUG. °LING PerAL•rtess.--The animated debate on Mr. Ilitounnast's celebrated motion respecting the above subject, has created almost as much interest in the house as the present unexampled advantageoas Lot tery has cut of it. Every one is aware of the dis pensing power of the Treasury of Fortune., so long entrusted to her old-established favourite Blab the Contractor and Inventor of the present highly popu lar Scheme, the strongest proof of which is found by the ineteased and eager demand for Tickets and Shares (even at this early period) at No. 4, Cornhill, and 9, Charing-cross. LEATHER--While our Government continue to tax the principal and almost the only article of remittance for our manufactures from many parts of South Ame rica, at a rate that nearly prohibits its use in this country, we know not how to give- full credit to the declaration of Lord CASTLEREAGN, in the House of Commons, on Tuesday night, that it was. the desire of Ministers to give every encouragement to our . commerce with that country. We allude to the ar ticle of Hides. They are charged with an import duty of' 13d. per hide, which is paid by ilia first Or chaser for home-consumptive, that is the Tinier, and when they are tanned, before he can sell;them, he pays a tax of 3d. per lb. which upon the *hole bide, amounts on an average to 10s. per hide, tb which, if we add the burthen of the restrictions upon the Tan ner necessary to secure • the tax, which is proved to be equal to the amount of the Leather Taxes, the' whole bnrthen upon the Tanner will be 21p. Id. per hide. The price of the hides in South America, is about a dollar each, so that the burthea is 350 per cent. laid upon the Tanner the first purchaser of the . , article in this country. We would now ask, can We expect, at if time that this trade is open to all the world, to maintain our, commerce with that country. and.ereay we not expect. the South Americans to retaliate, by imposing pro portioisate duties upon the manufactures, of Great Britain? • Whatever view we take of the Taxed upon . Leather, we are persuaded, compared with their ansotuit as a revenue, s they are the most LIECb that ever wow ftapored. - . ; ',Ante TE LitrrißS. -Aar "VA*, APiti. S. Ministers hive assitined more Confidence since the letter of the Duke of Wellington to the King. This letter has Made great sensation in Paris. The ascendant acquired over his Majesty by M. de Cazes is accounted for by the following circumstance, Which may throw some light upon the late embarrissed and mysterious proceedings of Government. " - It May be recollected, that rumours of a conspi racy against the Royal Family were mnchin circula tion, about a couple of months since, and this con.- 'piracy was said to have been detected on the day of its intended execution. Owing to some mismanage-. lint or indiscretion of the parties concerned, the watch-word, /6i/, having come to the knowledge of the Police, many individuals were arrested on the occasion, but none were brought to trial, and the greatest care was taken to prevent the affair gaining ,turther publicity. The reality of this conspiracy is now not un questioned, but the object of it has been hitherto mis understood. It was not directed, it appears, by any revolutionary party against the Royal Family, but by that Fainily against tit King. The scheme WAS 'to require abdication, or to effect the deposition o f his Majesty, then to obtain a renunciation of Mon sieur, whiCh had previously been secured, and thus to place the Duc d'Angouleme upon the, throne t the triumph of the Ultra-royalist Party would thus have been complete, ind an attempt would have been made to carry the counter-revolutionary system into I final execution. it is by defeating this project that M. de Cazes has obtained the influence he enjoys with his- Ma. jests, wll.l has perseveringly supported him against all the attacks made against him of late by M. de Kergorlay, M. de la Bourdonnaye, and others of that party. Whether his Majesty will be able to main tain him and his colleagues much longer in office, it is difficult to say. It is affirmed, that the King intends proroguing the House the moment the budgettspassed, but the Ultras distrust his promise of transferring the reins of government into their hands, after the comple tion of the financial business. They are determined, however, upon carrying their point, and of effecting by violence what they despair of accomplishing by legal means. As to the people, they view the con test between the two Royalist Parties with indiffe rence, if not with secret satisfaction. Whenever his Majesty yields to the Ultra-royalist Party, from what ever motive, the period of his compliance may be con sidered as that of his abdication. 4. It was not improbably to this conspiracy that the Duke of W. alluded, in that passage of his letter to the King, in which he says, 44 V. M. pout regarder consme certain, que 1 e plw grand anal (trend ,a source dot!: son propre paluti." " PARIS, ♦PRIL 8. 66 The following is an account of a few of the best autheaticated occurrences which have lately taken place in France : • 66 The Prevetal Courts and the Committes of De nunciation keep pace together in the performance of their task of decimating the nation : in ail parts of France they are busily employed in tracing and pu 'nishing the disaffected. Unfortunately, this system does not always produce submission, arta much less does it conciliate affection. In some instances it leads to exasperation, and to the %sew mapilestation of public opinion, which may end in a general explo sion. At At sur Aube, one of the Prevotal Courts. had lately occasion to exercise their severity upon sonic of the inhabitants of that place, selected from Congre g ationa which refused to hear the Testament' of Louis XVI. which had been ordered Lobe read by the Curate on the Anniversary of his Martyrdom, At Nismes those Courts display no less zealthan clw where in the holy w.,rk of persecution. A leiter from that town says The late popuLer tyranny is here succeeded by judicial tyranny. The assassins of our friends and relations ate acquitted, while those ' who justly site for their punishment are, upon idle pretences, prosecuted, and variously molested in their persons and prverty. We fear that this town n ill soon exhibit scenes similar to those of Tarascon, Usez, ahu Avignon.' tt Many symptoms of commotian had already ap peared at Strasburg. The Royal Authorities, heed less of such admonition, persisted in the execution of their oppressive measures, which at length so exas perated the population, that the latter rose, and com pelled the Prefect, M. de Boutheillier, and the Mayor to quit that city, and to take refuge in the Austrian quarters stationed in the neighbouring country. As sisted by the Austrian troops, these Magistrates re turned shortly after to Strasburg triumphantly, the inhabitants of which have since been kept in awe by the presence of these foreigners. " I must not omit an exploit of the regiment d'An gouleme. That regiment, on its arrival lately at Grenoble.from Montpellier, signalized its devotion to the legitimite cause, by pillaging the hOuse occupied by the Usurper on his passage through that town,' whet. coming from Elba. " M. Laine meeting M. Pozzo di Borgho, the other evening, at the Duke of Wellington's, was sa luted by that Minister with a reproach on the intem perate spirit of the Chamber of Deputies, of which he is President. Fearful of committing himself with either party by an explanation, he eluded the ques tion, and turning presently to Sir Charles Stuart, complained of its unseasonable mention, and of the severity of M. Pozzo's remarks. Finding, however, no concurrence of opinion in the British Minister, he addressed the Duke of Wellington, whose language on the subject running in the same tenor. with that of M. Pozzo, he at length withdrew to a friend, saying, 6 I am now more than satisfied of the authenticity of the Duke's letter.' . The Duke himself neither denies nor acknowledges the letter, but he admits that, con ' formal* with his instructions, he has taken the liberty of offering his Majesty advice wherever he has con ceived it necessary, end . that the' occasions thereof , have been frequent. • 64 The measure of transferring to Arles The -public establishments of Tarascon, has given rise to repre . gestations on the part of that town. The Depute ,. unit sent up to Pins on the occasion waited, Wednes , day lilt, on M. de. Vaublanc. the Minister of the In. twine. His Excellency replied, 'that imperious cir cumstances required at this moment the adoption of such rigorous measures; that. they were necessary, as an example, to curb the seditious spirit of other places, and to give the Allies a paid the resolution of Ga. TRONSHEIM, MARCH to, 1816. •A'singular occurrence took place here on they instant: a portion of land, amounting to 120E 0 lish acres, and 60 feet deep , slid , with a tremead4; crash, into the river Nid, about a quarter of a mi l e from Store Foss. This happened during a h ow frost, (13° Reanmur), without giving any p rev i los notice; and from the quality of the ground fai nt , clayey, with a moderate ascent from the river, ap, pears quite unaccountable. Of Tiller church, a we i. ling-house, and bridge, which stood on this spet, fict a vestige is now ,to be seen—the ruins ate either bulled, or dispersed. You may form %nme idea 01 the :once with which this mass of earth fell, whe n I tell Ton, that a considerable portion of it was thro wn several hundred yards distant from the river o n .. 1 opposite bank, where it destroyed two houses wi th . some of the unfortunate inhabitants. The own er o f Tiller Farm perished by returning to the h ome to look after one of his children. It is net y et ascer. tabled how many lives are lost : eighteen are icnow a to have bzen buried or drowned, and forty horses, besides cows, Etc. A very tine lad of 17, whu was to have worked in our wotk, lost his hie. O ne man saved himself in a remarkable manner : he was the foremost of 14. or 15 peasants, who were rennin' home to Selboe, from bringing timber for the build. ings attached to our work, and was so near the spot, that he heard the owner of Tiller cry for help—he immediately resolved to retrace his steps : the ether poor wretches endeavoured to reach the shore trough a deep snow, and perished with their horses: met of them had two. The man who saved himself had a very good horse, and by keeping himself full speed, he escaped on shore by Store Foss, the :iverptirsuint him close with the rapidity of lightening—Lhit ings may be better conceived than described doting this remarkable race. Our work has luckily escaped uninjured, although threatened with ruin. V. Krou/h has otherwise suffered considerably, yet mostly it Store Foss, where a flower-mill has quite disapceared, the saw-mills almost destroyed, and dams carried away to the amount of £2(Xt. A summer-houw, which stood between Great and Little Foss, a short distance from the river, was carried is an upright position, as it stood on shore, with two boats chained to it, and in that manner precipitated down Little Foss. It is impossible for me to describe the singular appearance all this had, and still has : the Fiord is discoloured with muddy water to a great c‘tent, and will probably continue so for months. We are wit. ling to think the danger is now over, though this is uncertain, until the stream cuts itself a proper vssage. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. SATURDAY, APRIL 13, iSI6.

This Committee sits daily at the Treasury Chambers, and has already examined the Members of several Boards. The Funds keep looking up. The hope of a lots had operated to depress them, as preparatory to the securing of a large bona: to the lenders. But it is nor believed that a loan will• not be required, and, of course, the clock must be wound up again. It it thought that the Bank Directors mean to div:,;e among the Proprietors a portion of the profits which have been accumulating from the suspension et cash payments (a gift, at the expense of the commit nity, which they are to enjoy tor two years more) I the charges for managing the public monies, of interest derived from loan: to the /mac, front its own 1: lance: ix the hands of the Ban,.
