Is any one ignorant of the precautionary measures enforced at this mo ment in some districts in Ireland ? 'Let tis theq be not too hasty in condemning the French Government on the present occasion. At this moment it is under great alarm. A Gen tleman who left Paris on Saturday (the date of the Papers before us) states, that when he left that city the most serious apprehensions of open insurrection were entertained, and which, he says, has hitherto been prevented only by the presence of the Duke of Waitanarow and the British and other troops under his Grace's command. He adds that the insolence of the Parisians to the British Officers is become in tolerable, and that every thing wore the most alarm ing appearance.—We know that the Duke was ex pected in London six weeks ago, and it is therefore reasonable to.infer that his prolonged stay in Paris has been occasioned solely by the alarms excited for the public safety in various parts of France. Dutch Papers to the Sd instant have arrived, from which we subjoin extracts of every thing deserving of notice. The Editor of the Rhenish Mererry announces, in a circular letter, that his paper has wholly ceased, by the KING% order. BRUSSELS; JANUARY • 29. The allied troops, composing the right wing of the army of occhpation, have now all taken up their pa. sitions in the garrisons and cantonments which have been assigned them by the Duke of Wellington. The Saxon and Danish troops form a line which extends to the French fortresses in Artois. The Hanoverian• have concentrated themselves about Conde, and that pan of the Scheldt. The Hessians have extended themselves further into the French territory : their left wing leans upon Charliinont ; the most advanced troops of the centre extend to the frontiers of the district of Icon; and their right wing leans upon Maubeuge. Between all these positions are the Eng lish ea echelltia, and extend their positions from Va lenciennes to the Somme. All the fortresses in this line have very numerous garrisons. These troops, composing the right wing of the Grand Army, consist of 65,000 men, viz. 30,000 English, 20,000 Russians ; Danes, .Saxons, and Hanoverian• 5000 each. The positions are so chosen that the Allies can, at all times, cut off the fortresses which still have French Garrisons, from all commit nication with the interior. The provisions necessary for ttit support of the Allied troops are brought daily, at the expence of the French Government, in waggons, from those pro vinces that have suffered the least. Many inhabitants of Omura have been arrested and conducted to Paris, to be examined in the trial of General Bennaire, on account of the murder of Co• lonel Gordon, which is still involved in much ob. scurity. JANUARY 31.-It is said that the Duke of Wel. lington will inspect the positions of the Allied Army. He is accordingly expected at Valenciennes before he proceeds to embark at Calais. The Duke's departure has been delayed by cir cumstances which no longer exist. All will soon be settled in a regulAr manner upon the frontiers, atal the Generals of the Allied Armies have give,' the strictest orders to protect the recitrocal intercourse and comts►erce. HAGUE, FEBRUARY 1. It is said that the deliberations in the Sections of the States General, concerning the budget of this present year, are nearly ended, and it is expected that the result will be the subject of general debate in the public assembly, in the course of next week. A few days since arrived here a most valuable transport of books, paintings, and prints, taken away by the French in the year 1795. • BANK OP ENGLAND, FILE. 1, 1816.—The Court of Directors of the Governor and Company of the Bank of England give notice, That a General Court will be held at the Bank on THURSDAY NEXT, the Bth instant, at Eleven in the Forenoon, on special affairs.

A letter from Captain LLEIVIILLYN BISHOP, of the ship Radnor,. belonging to Rooms, DAvinscox, and Co. states the loss of that vessel by fire, in Saugor Roads, on the Sd of September. In consequence of this unfortunate aecident, Mr. DUFF, the chief officer, and 20 of the crew,' perished.— ( Madras Palter.)

FibRUARY 6.—Arrived from Calaii the Neptune, transport, and Elisabeth freight vessel, with 150 men of the Royal Sappers and Miners, 50 men of different Regiments, and about 30 horses of the Royal Wag gon Train ; also arrived the,Fomax and Union trans. potts, from Calais, with a few horses and men, being the last of out army to be brought over for the pre sent, and we must here beg to say, that we consider the greatest credit is due to the Honourable Trans.., port Board, and their agents, for the very good ma-, nagement evinced throughout the arduous task of getting our troops, Sm. across the Channel at this very precarious season of the year. Numerous met chantmen have been totally lost on these shores in the time, but we have not heard of the loss of a single transport or freight vessel, or even the life of one Bri tish soldier; the loss of 200 horses or so is not to be thought of, and leaves the conducting of the late em barkation unprecedented for good order and regularity. The 42d, or Highland Regiment, which distin guished itself so gloriously in the battle of Waterloo, is on its route for Sunderland. The 2el West York regiment have received orders to embark at Cork for England. The 33d regiment arrived at Hull on Wednesday and Thursday last from the Continent.

He was advised to go to Bath, where the Doctor,: told him candidly there were no hopes of his recovery. He was afterwards removed, at his own desire, to London, by slow and short stages, and I was between three and four days on the road.
