This has arisen from the ar city of Cash, which has compelled the Jews to ing large quantities of the pawned Stock to market. Itch business has been done this day. From the ainense quantity of `Mock poured into the Hotise, 4 Commissioners were yesterday served with the hale of their demand in one lump by a respectable hiier, at 79 Reduced. This morning they gave 79 n the F.educcd, and were served generally by the tithe House of Lords, last night, the City Petition the Revision of the Criminal Laws was presented y Lad IIIiLLAND. The Earl of LIVERPOOL seemed Wien that the increase of criminal convictions as in a gi cat degree ascribable to the discharge of many soldiers and sailors, on returning to a state 'reaie. This had been the case at the termination 'former wars, though any previous reduction of our :ce bore bat little proportion to that now eirecjng. The disbanding of our warriors will not however fur the increase of crime ; for, according to of LANSDOWNE, the number of sailors soldiers charged with offences was so very small to surprize the Magistrates. We have no doubt whatever, that one great cause, , is not sufficiently attended to, is the incom pe wages given to labourers and workmen. You 11 ignorant and ill-instructed people how heinous , it is to steal, but hunger has a louder voice, such people, than harangues about morals. At the periods that have been brought into con with the present, was there ever such a wide as now, between the price of labour and price of the necessaries of life. Commons, Mr. GRENFELL drew the atten the House to the rise in the price of Standard which is now ss. 7 d. an ounce,- or three half above the Mint standard, including even the The CH ANC EL L:9l of the EXCHEQUER was the d.ingcl , should the price continue to rise, rea , .on t > be,i,:ve that its present elevation not be (,f long duration. The Right Honour .entleman then gave notice for Tuesday next Moticu for the appointment of a Committee of v, to inquire into the state of the Bank o f ' respecting MO resumption of Cash Pay et the time fixed by the Law, and into all thz considerations ccmnected z .with the subject. iIiESEY conteaded that the motion was similar s own, with respect .to its object.. He wished, the Committee not to be one bf Secrecy; or. ;c1 as far as the private steps taken by-the Bank :tpart for the resumption of cash payments were e.l, leaving the other considerations to be dis at large. On those conditions he would 'he whole question into the hands of the Gua ts lf the EXCHEQUER ; but or. finding that the of 1797 was to be followed, and that a =mince, to be appointed by Ballot, was to fisted with the whole of the investigation, he :iimself to take the sense of the House on iect, paticularly art the mode of appoint the Committee, which, if it were done by 7 oull be nothing else than a Ministerial no- aril Papers of Sunday arrived last night ; x of )londay have also come to hand this ifonift:x of Sunday is accompanied by time lents, which are wholly filled with a Report lonopoly of TuLacco, during the last and ig years, addressed to the Minister of Finances BARANtE, Councillor of State.

He instantly turned round,- and laid the offender dead at his feet by a thrust of his sword. Whether the rest escaped, is not mentioned ; but the explosion of the plot is said to have been effected without producing any sort of commotion in the city. FERDINAND is described as now quite recovered from his grief, and transacting business as usual with his Ministers. It is publicly rumoured that M. de CEVALLOS has been again called to the Ministry of Finance; Father CYRILLE, General of the Cordeliers, a •species of vermin, of which not less than twenty thousand ate said to be scattered over Spain, has been dismissed from the capital—it is added, nobody knows why, as if a ;-oed- . enough reason could ever be wanting for sea mg a crafty Monk out of the way of doing misetief. The patroles, both civil and military, continue to patrole the streets of Madrid at all hours of the night, and the bands of insurgents in the Sierra Morena are, notwithstanding every effort to suppress them, in creasing daily. An article, which hears the title of Madrid, though we can scarcely suppose the pen exists there which could dare to pen it, states, that these armed bands, to whom the title of Guerillas has been ~ riven. ought, in truth, to be called the Sa viours of their Country." Stran,_;•e, and we may truly add, very idle reports are beginning to be spread at Stutgard respecting the death of the late QUEEN. A certain somnambu list who had foretold the death of the KING'S father, had also it seems predicted that of the Queen, CA THERINE. A peasant too, we are told, had :cure time since requested admission to the Palace, in order to communicate something which had been revealed to him by a sort of inspiration; and on being presed to tell what it was, he announced, with an air of great confidence, that the QUEEN would very shortly The decease of her MAJESTY following very soon after wards, the peasant fiat it seems been arrested, in order to be questioned about the grounds of his former pre diction. But perhaps the most silly of all the queer things afloat on the subject is, that the representation of a Theatrical Piece,. called L' Art cede Diane, had been for a long time regarded by the Court of Wirtern- Iberg as a sinister augury ; that it had in consequence been prohibited by the late KING, but had been lately revived, and was actually the last Piece at which the dvarted.Quaan was present !—When will the age of marvels have an end? • An article from Schaffhausen mentions rather a singular fact with regard to the attempt of the Jesuits to esotblish themselves itt*Switzerlandan attempt 'which is truly described asst brand of discord thrown into the country, .tbe pernicious consequences t of. which it is impossible to calculate. It seems that all their endeaioins to . estahlich t_nrosclveb on any of the Cu tholic Cantons have completely failed ; and that the only territories in which they have gained a fooling are those of Fribourg and Valais, where, however, they experience a strong opposition, which ' not all the menaces of the Authorities can intimidate. The Russian Government is said to have refused to purchase a quantity of specie, lately imported into that country b} seme English speculators, or. account I of the high price they demanded ; in consequence of which they have been obliged to Seek ar.other market for their merchandizc. The. Emperor Atzzataina had not arrived at St. Petersburgh en thelst instant, but was daily expected. The E.:PRESS, also on ha way home, passed through Ratisbon on the 15th. The new system of Customs established in Prussia; is enforced with a degree of rigour, which is the cause of general complaint.: For• some weeks to ward& the end of last year, the gates of the City of' Munster were shut, and while extraordinary patrotes traversed the City, ger.d'armes and donaniers occu pied themselves in searching the merchant's stores, granaries, &c. and even private hnuses, in order to make discoveries.—French 5 per Cents. Saturday , 68 fr. 60 c. The letter from Mr. AnA:s:s, the American Secre tary, to the Republican Minister at the Court .of AIA• drid, (alluded to in our columns yesterday) deserves the particular attention of every Briton ; for, sho::gh professedly a view of the questions at issue between the American Government and Spain, rzspeeting the seizure of the Floridas, full three.fourths of it is de voted to the single topic of military butchery of our countrymen, ARBUS:iiNeT and Am mil STER ard discloses, we can hardly hesitate to believe, the prin-, ciples on which the American Ministry are inclined to argue,. when it may. be pressed upon them by Great Britain, the great question in which our rights and interests, and honour,' are involved. From the! whole of this paper, with the documents annexed to it, we rather suspect that the American Government mean to defend and justify the conduct of Gen. JACK.. EON towards the subjects ofGreat Britain, Whom he and his:Court-martial between thern,unlawfully put to the sword. Not excuses merely, but justificatirm ; not just:- Scation, but the highest admiration and applause, are lavished upon JACKSON for the whole of his proceed ings towards these unhappy Englishmen, whether itj regards his motives, his words, or actions. Every contemptuous and odious epithet is freely Isestowed upon the unfortunate men, and upon .other British. olfictrs who had employed, assisted, or preceded' to is their conidcatiai iveratuit vitii the Sp:: •ish Authorities or the.hdian tribes. We trust that, upon reconsideration, the Cabinet of the United States may awake to the offensive character, of that unwor thy sophistry .which the lett', tof Mr. ADAMS SO largely exhibits, in dart - Ice of a series of horrible transactions by disavowing, and, as 'far as practi cable, repairing which, a civilized at.ll enlightened Government can alone wipe out thsestain it has re ceived from them : for if the acts done in the Flori. das are adopted at Washington, it is tio longer Ge neral JACKSON, but Mr. 31oNnoz and the Republic itself which become re;ponsible to tngland, to civi lization, and humanity. We have this day devoted a considerable portion of our columns to the Document to which we allude, :rild to-morrow, if possible, we shall give the rest. Lord COCHRANE'S arrival in South America is an nounced in the following commanication from Ad-, miral BRION, inserted in the New York Gazette of the Ist instant: " Extract of a Letter from Admiral Brit*, to a Gentleman in St. Thomas's, dated Juan Greign, November 14, IHIB : " Data Sta - I have the pleasure of announcing to you the arrival of Lord Cochrane, with five vessels of war, Scc. ander Ms command, and now at the Tcstigos Islands ; this pleasing in telligence has been received here this morning; with such a con siderable reinforcement, we have nothing more to fear from the enemy, and a speedy termination of the war must be the result of this grand effect.

The American Papers also con .ain the following article from Venezuela : We have a letter from Venezuela, of November 6, and a paper of a late date.

On the 26th and '27th ult, a tremendous hurricane was experienced at the Bahama Islands, which proved very destructive to the wreckers on the coast. Dur ing the gale on the 17t1i, the Spanish schooner Ya belato, with JOO Slaves on board from the Coast of Africa, was stranded on the Bahamas, and all hands perished, except the Captain, one seaman, and 18 slaves. There were several other vessels cast aw#y on the same day. The wrecks of them were seen floating about the Islands for upwards of four or five days previous to the 4th instant. A Providence wrecker arrived at that place, and reported that the above-mentioned gale was very severely felt at Nassau (N. P.), and that considerable damage had been sustained along the coast. It is rumoured (says the Franklin Gazette) that the 'Senate have been discussing the subject of the Ca nada line, and not the treaty lately made with Great Britain, which has hot yet reached Washington. Of the Diplomatic corps abroad, it appears that no less than three of its numbers arc expected shortly to return to the United States ; namely, Mr. Gallatin, from France; Mr. F.rving, from Spain; and Mr. Sumpter, from Rio ,laneirc. Mr. Forsyth is spoken of as likely to fill the place of Mil Erving, and Mr. John Graham that of Mr. Sumpter—but no conjec ture is yet. afloat as to the successor of Mr. Gallatin. By accounts from St. Domingo, of the 14th ult. it appearg that, in the dominion ul CIIRISTOPITZ every thing was then ttantiuil ; nor were there any indica tions of approaching hostilities with the rival Chief . of the south side of the island.
