Mr. FORBES did not conceive tliatwhaihe bad said required any apology whatever. Admiral HOPE said, it might be satisfactory to the HonOurable Member to know, that during the i 'last year upwards of HMO Midshipmen bad beta promoted to the rank of Lieutenants. After *few observations from Sir G. WARREN. DER..and Mr. ROSE, the Resolutions were agreed - to, and the Report ordered to be received toettorraw. WAYS AND SISAN& The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER at that late hour, and in the thin state the Wose then was, he should only move the usual T.. xes on Malt, Saxer. and Tobacco ; and a sum of eleven millions of Exchequer Bills, to replace a like • :um outstanding and nnprovided tor. He then moved Resolutions to that effect; which were agreed to, and the Report ordered to be received to-morrow. The Right Hon. Gentleman then moved, that a Commit. tee be appointed to consider of the best means of ac , commodating the Court of Chancery, at far as the Vice-Chancellor was concerned. Sir S. ROMILLY opposed the motion, as it was only a first step towards making the office of Vice- Chancellor permanent. Lord CASTLEREAGH contended, that the office of Vice-Chancellor was necessary, to enable the Lord Chancellor to get through the bubiness of his Court. Delay was a great grievance in Chancery; for there was not less than SO millions of property now undecided in the Court of Chancery. Mr. CouRTENAT and Mr. WRoTTESLEY supported the motion, which was then agreed to, and a Select Committee appuinted....Adjourned at 11 o'clock. THE EVENING STAR. LO N DON. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1816.

By what transpired in the Commons, it appears that the very lucrative place in Ireland, vacant by , the death of the Emil of BuCKIKOHADISHIRE, bas been filled up by the Chief Baron of the Court of Ex chequer, who conceives that the right of appointment lies with him, and not with the Crown: In fact, properly speaking, it lies with neither. It has vir tually ceased. The Report of the Finance Commit tee, supported by the unanimous Resolution of the House of Commons, several years ago, determined that the place should cease after the death of the then occupier. is such a Resolution to be rendered nuga tory. by the citeruise of a supposed tight of any indi• vidual whatever ? Shall the Chief Baron of IrclAnd Co what not even the KING himself would attempt in the lice of such a Resolution—at a time too when economy is so necessary ; when the State necessities are such as to induce Ministers to propose a continu ance of the inquisitorial Tax upon Income? The discussion on the Navy Estimates gave occa sion to the CHANCELLOR of the EXCIIFICER to an nounce whlt we were glad to hear—that Govern ment intend to make a very considerable addition to the income of Naval Officers is the shape of pensions. Alniral HOPE intimated that during last year 1000 Midshipmen, without favour or partiality, bad been promoted to the rank of Lieutenants. To-day we received the Paris Papers of Monday. Their most prominent article, and yet the least in ter= sting to us, is a pompous account of the grand Review on Sunday. A vast number of persons em- ployed in the subordinate branches of the French finance, have been discharged, for disaffection. COMER EXTRAORDINARY OV MONDAY MORNING. Yesterday, before and atter Mass, the assemblage at the Cade of the Tuilleries was immense. The Spanish Ambassador was in the circle, which con - sisted, besides, of the Grand Dignitaries, the Chan. cell( r, Prince 'ralleyrand, the Minister, the Marshals, and inaly Members of both Chambers, Generals, and superior Officers of all ranks. Their Royal Highnesses also received, after the rtsview; a great number of civil and military farm- twnaries. Upwards of forty Peru/dews (Receivers of Taxes) have been suspended from their functions, and provi sionally replaced, in the Department of the Ande. A Notice from the Prefect of the Maese announces to the inhabitants, in consequence of a foreign corn. munication, chat an indemnity will be granted to those v.lio lodge foseign troops. Sinie the nomination of M. de Barente to the Gene. rat Direction of the indirect Contributions, upivards 35) Clerks, both of the Central and Departmental Offices, have been dismissed for having manifested opinions hostile to Government. VIENNA, JANUARY SO. Some days ago a Banker of Vienna presented to the Countess of Lipano (Madame Murat) a bill of exchange for 60,000 francs, drawn by Murat in fa vour of the Mayor of Ajaccio, who had advanced the money for him, but who had no other document to thew. Having thrown himself on the generosity of t hiCoowess, she has paid the money. NUREMBURG, FEBRUARY 4. While people generally flattered themselves in Ba varia that the differences between this kingdom and Austria would be terminated during the stay of die Prinee.loyal .of Baiarit at Milan, intell;genee het beep received front Austria which seems to indicate an immediate occupational the country of Salzbuurg and the Innsiertel. The following are some details given on this head in the German Journals : " On the 17th Januaiy, Lieutenant-Colonel Count Aide-du•Canip to Prince Schwartzenberg, rived from Milan at Vienna with important dis patches. The Emperor of Austria has not accepted the whole of the propositions made by the Court of Bavaria. It • was after the arrival of this Courier that General Bianchi received orders to take the chief command of the troops' stationed in Upper Au stria, to which they have given at Vienna the name of the Army of Observation of Bavaria. The head quarters ate at Limbach. It is even said that orders have bent given to General Bianchi to make known Ito the Bavarian Authorities of Salzbourg and the Inn viertel, that they must either submit to Austria, or retire into Bavaria, the instant the Austrian army shall occupy those Provinces. 66 Since General Bianchi's departure, the Council of War at Vienna has been incredibly active. All' the roads leading to Upper Austria are covered with troops and artillery. Most of the inhabitants of . Vienna think, however, that there will be no rupture.. It is thought that Bavaria merely wishes to obtaisf better conditions. In short, every person in Austria and Bavaria desires to see an end of these disputes.—. The report that General Bianchi had passed the frontier is not confirmed. The Bavarian mops have in the mean time retired farther into their owe country." The Duke of Tarentum, Marshal Macdonald, has returned to Paris, after terminating the important operation which had been confided to him, of licens ing the at my. General liarbot has taken the command of the Depot of the Arriege, in the room of Gen. Couture. General Lardcnoy will be the new Governor of Guadalon pe. The French frigate Earydice is waiting at Brest to take on board the Ambassador and Consuls re cently appointed to North America. Peronne was entirely evacuated by the English troops on the 7th instant, and at the same time there was only an Etat Major of the English army at Amiens. Those who have been lately banished from France, are ordered to quit Belgium by the I.sth. Most of these dishonoured miscreants have taken passports for Russia : none of-them are to be permit• ted to reside in Poland. The fate of the Ins:itute will be immediately de cided : the Presidents and Secretaries of the four Classes have been summoned to appear before the Minister of the Interior. It is said that *is learned body will consist of three classes, viz. the Academy of Sciences, French Academy, and Academy for Inscriptions and Belles Lettres. These three classes will form " The Royal Institute of France." The fourth class will be separaffd from the Institute and will take the title of Academy of Painting, Sculp. turn, and Music. General Scepeaus of the Army of La Ventre has arrived at Paris. The Committee of the Chamber of Deputies has settled that the woods which belonged to the Clergy shall not be sold. Generals Savary and Lallemand ale closely con fined iu the common prison at Malta. A Mail from Holland arrived to-day. The rene gado French Marshal, Som.?, and his Son, have arrived at Brussels, on their way to same place of exile. France is well rid of such characters. If SouLT had bccn punished by Louis XVIII. for his atrocities in Spain, instead of being exalted to the _Ministry of War, be would not have been the Usur per's Major-General at the Battle of Waterloo, and probably ao such battle would have been fought.... SOUL? is a living example of the homely but correct proverb- 4, Save a thief from the gallows," &c. . . Pan. et titian . itc . ibnior °Seers of the NuT wit none of the Officers of bell s. I the Navy st forivirdae support it. On that. ac. an is count he should make a parliamentary apology. and tk • _• • • • BRUSSELS, FEBRUARY 9. Marshal Souk being comprehended in the Law of Amnesty, has just arrived in this city with his son. His military talents have placed him among the greatest Captains of these latter times, which hate been so fruitful of famous warriors. He was Majoi. General of the French Army at the battle of Wa terloo. ' S FEBRUARY 12.—One of our Journals, which seems well-informed, doubts the arrival of Marshal Souk: en the other band, the departure of Mr. Merlin from Paris is not confirmed. We believe that these diffe rences arise from the little stress that is kid oa the presence or absence of persons whom circumstances force to leave France. BERLIN, FEBRUARY 1. The Be►lin Gazette publishes, on the occasion of the appearance of a new Geographical' and Statistical Work upon the Prussian States, a declaration of the Chancellor, Prince Hardenberg, in which . there is the following passage : " It is not yet the moment to give a detailed view 101 the Statistics of the Prussian States, since the ne. gociations are still proceeding upon some points, and others are not known or liable to fresh changes. This may serve to form a judgment of the exactness of the books and maps which have hitherto appeared rela tive to the Prussian States." FRANKFORT, FEBRUARY 1. • The French paper of this city contains the follow• ing article to-day : -41 The private accounts from Paris state, that the regicides, whoa the Amnesty. Law'oWiges to leave . FruOf and who bale* not yet qutttal tint capital, move Heaven and earth to ward off the blow, and to tenew their ancient intrigued. There neoessatily results from this a certain vague agitation of peoples' minds; but when this moment is past, and the king dom purged of enemies who are irreconcileable, be cause the enormity of their crimes does not permit them to believe in the clemency of the King, the So vereign will be established more firmly than ever upon his throne." CASSEI., FEBRUARY 4. His Highness in causing possession to be taken of the Lepartment of Fulda, published letters patent, in which he observes, that he, in consequence of the operations of the Congress of Vienna, and to facilitate the arrangements which have been judged necessary in the North of Germany, he has 'exchanged severAl districts of his States, for that part of the Department of Fulda, which, by the Act of Congress, was as signed to his Majesty the King of Prussia, with soite exceptions. BRUGES, FEBRUARY a. On Monday some boats passed here with sick English soldiers from France, going to Ostend. THE dßmr. Since the commencement of this month tlie En" . lish garrison of Valenciennes has been conslderably increased :it is now 8,0(X) strong. The English garrisons of Quemoy and Bouchain have also been reinforced. The Russian General Count WOEON zow' whose head-quarters were at Maubenge, an d the Hanoverian General Baron ALTER, are about to meet at Cambray, to concert measures with the Duke of WELLINGTON, who is expected to meet them there shortly. MOnday se'smiglir, 42 recruits of the Fifeshire Regiment landed at Donaghadee from Portpatrick. Wednesday se'nnight the Berwickshire Militia were disembodied at Coldstream. Tuesday last the 38th Regiment marched into Portsmouth, under the command of Lieut. Colonel MILES, to do the duty of that garrison, in the room of the Bth Regiment, who are under orders to em bark for Ireland. Orders have been given for disembodying, in the course of the present month, the whole of the Militia which remained embodied after the last arrangements respecting this valuable service. Major Dom Lets, who unfortunately lost his life in the melancholy shipwreck at Tramore, was of a thost respectable Irish family, and had a handsome estate. He was cousin to. Lady CLONCURRY, and nephew to Mrs. FORTESCUE.
