The Emperor, 'during his stay in Lombardy, has in fact conferred on the people greater benefits thin they could ever have expected under their former government, or .under any other sceptre whatever. The country was very much impoverished under Napoleon ; it wanted a Sovereign who did not strive to exhaust its last strength, but who was able and willing to assist it with the riches of his other dominions. In this man ner Austria acts; for this reason the taxes in Lom bardy have been so reduced; the importation of cat tle from Hungary allowed, by which the high price of meat was immediately reduced ; for this reason the export duty on raw silk, the staple production of. Lombardy, has been reduced to a sixth. All these measures are very popular, and prevent, in Austrian Italy, those conventions which have affected other countries, as the consequence of •a long-continnedi oppression, and state of revolution. " The Emperor is resolved to see that his benevo lent determinations are fulfilled, andtor this reason he .remains so long in that country, and is a not expected back at Vienna before next May or June. " Whether the intended journey to Rome and Na ples will be put in execution, or whether the Sove reigns of those countries will meet the Emperor at Eorence, as report says, will soon appear. " was thought that the Emperor, on his return, would again pass through the Tyrol ; this is however false. The States of Carnicla had, in this supposi tion, requested permission to lend a Deputation to Venice, to pay their respects to the Emperor. " His Majesty, however, thanked them for their' good intentions, but answered, that to spare the coun try the expense of a deputation, he would return by the way of Laibach. The newspapers have for some time past entertained us whit various stories about Madame Murat. The truth is, that she and her fa. IM:y afford very little matter for news ; she leads at !Limburg a very mired life suitable to her situation, ..nd is very ltbaal to the poor. Thii may serve to cm-rev many heartless reporters, uho, destitute of all feeling, pursue misfortune into its last asylum and conah.tt the defenceless with the poisonous shafts of calumny.", One of the Brussels Papers announces as a report, that 64 his Eminence Cardinal Cmsar Brancadorn, formerly Apostolic Nuncio co the Austriaa Govern. mcnt at brussels, is appointed by his Holiness Lesete a latere to his I‘l,ijesty the ging of the Nttlierlands." A reduction took place in the Royal Hospital at Hasler on the Ist initant, by which Drs. GUM( and SMITH are placed on half pay, and some other teduc tims at the same tirae and place in the junior de partments. A signal station has been erected on Newford Down, Scilly, and Lieutenant Jody TaINDER, R.N. appointed to superintend it. Madame LAVALETTE not only remains in the Con ciergerie, but she is au secret (in dose confinement). A letter from Paris says—" She is not pettnizted to see any one, not even to have her femme de chamlre about her, and she is only known to be in existt.nte by the permission given to her cook to send her her dinner through the gaoler. if her confinement con tinues much longer, in the state of health she is, it is ptnbable she must sink ender it, and thus fall a vic tim to conjugal devotion."

NEW YEAR'S GIFTS.--it was the practice of the least wealthy of the Romani to make presents, of figs, dates, or honey, covered with gold leaf : to shew how every age improves in their annual gifts, it has of late been the general practice to give Sh a res of Lottery Tickets, which at the present season are more valuable than, ever, as there are Two Grand Prices of 25,000 Guineas in Gold, (not gold leaf as forMerly), besides Two of 120,000, Two of 15,000, &c. &c. in the State Lottery, which begins Drawing on Valentine's Day, 14th •February. CORN EXCHANGE, JAN: B.—Our supply of Wheat this morning was not large, which occasioned ready sale for flee samples at last Monday's prices ; but there is scarcely any demand for inferior sorts. We continue to 'be abundantly supplied- with Barley, which greatly . exceeds the demands and consequently our prices have declined froth Is. to 2s. per quarter; a considerable quantity remains undisposed of. In Peas, Beans, Oats, and other articles, there is little et no variation. • r~ '• + ta I t he 6th Inniskillen Dragoons have marched on their route for Manchester, and the depot of the 12th Light Dragoons from Brabourn Lees to Romford. The West Essex Regiment, under the command of. Sir WILLIAM SMYTH, arrived at Chelm.kard on Tuesday and Wednesday. This-regiment has Leon absent from its own country (a short interval except ed) for twelve years and upwards. The 42d Royal Highlanders, commanded by Co lonel DICK, marched into Chelmsford .Barracks on Monday and Tuesday, from France. The following troops are now in Colchester garri son, viz. the 113 d, 73d, and 92d Regiment, depots of the 30th and 80th Regiments, Horse and Foot Ar tillery,- the Cambridgeshire Militia, 'and about 400 sick and wounded—in all about 3000 men. Sunday se'nnight the 2d Battallion of the 73d Re giment of Foot, and on Monday and Tuesday the 33d Regiment, and the 9241 Regiment, (or Gorden Highlanders) marched into Colchester Barracks, on their return from Franca. The brave troops, as they passed through the streets, were greeted by the inha bitants with acclamations, ringing of bells, &c. in honour of their victorious return from the field of W a terloo. RAMSGATE, JAN. 6.—Sailed for Ostend the Goad Statesman Transport, with regimental baggage' and stores; also, for the Downs, the Triton Transport. to be employed in the conveyance of troops to Ireland. The Transport Agent has already hired, by direction of the Board, several Ramsgate vessels, on freight, to bring troops home from France: aremarkAbly tine schooner, and the Lively and Resolution Packets, belonging to this port, sailed in the afternoon for that purpose to Calais, from which it would seem that Government have borne in mind the dispatch and good order with which the Ramsgate freight vessels conveyed the horses and troops to Ostend last Spting, when scarcely a horse out of the thousands shipped from hence, under the superintendence of the Agent here, was either lost or rendered unfi , for service : indeed melting can more strongly evidence the high state in which both men and horses were landed, than ' the glorious harvest they soon after reaped in the ever memorable field of battle at Waterloo. The Princess Ctinnt.orrt: of WALES, on leaving Weymouth on the Ist icsuot, ordered the Band 01 the 49th Regiment to receive One Hundred Guineas ! We need hardly add, that they ate lout in sounding the praises of her Royal liighnets. Tiiis, however, is not the only favour for which that Regiment has reason to be grateful to the Princess. On The last anniver. sary of hiss Majesty's Accession to ...t.e Throve, it was. announced in the R.

An awkward affair incurred a few days back on the Boulevards at Paris,' where Mit-shill Vierna was 1 walking, when Lieutenant l'itoaoros, of the English Cu?rds, paving him quickly, unintentionally struck the Marshal on the elbow. Lieitirn.:nt 'I% immesh. ately apologised, but the Mirslial abw.ed him grossly, and increased his abuse in proportion to Lieutenant T.'s excuses, when the lvter said, " I know not who you are, but 1 am a British Officer, and will not brook such gross and indecent langnage, without re senting it. I therefore advise you to desist." The arshal went on as before; . and 'ttio• Lieutenant knocked him down by a blow . orf 1114 chest. - The Lieutenant was taken to the Prefecture. The Mar shal wrote to the Dtie of WELLINoToN, a Crust of Enctoiry was held, and the Lieutenant was slightly reprimanded, and told to be more circumspect in his I conduct. BONAPARTE.

They are worse off than ourselves all the officers have only three marquees auiong them, and those four miles from the towu. • " Poor Napoleon is at a house in the country, or rather hut, tor he has but one room, which serves him fur bed-toom, par lour, kitchen, and hall; a house at Loegwood, about four miles troth the town, is preparing for him, but will not be ready in two months, and then he will not be much better accommodated, for the whole of his suite (eight persons, independent of servants), as it will not more than furnish a room for each. There is, we all think, a great degree of illiberality in this treatment of him, and his followers, which I would think our flovernment coca never have intende d; even cavils about eatables and &inhabits are made, and a system of annoyance is pursued, by abridging their accommodations and comfor•s. Bertrand reqeirrs a room for himself, one for his wife, and another for h:s children : these, I understand, are to he refused, though certainly it is as little as any man could expect, were he considered at a close prisonn, and of his rank in life. The Generals and their wives are at pre sent is a house in town, until the one that Napoleon goes to at Longwood is ready, when they all go there. Captain Mackay (53d) lives with Napoleon, and he never moves without two ser jeants with him, so that there is no fear of his escaping. " Every boat in the island, fisherman's or not, is moored at sun -set, by a naval officer, and reported to the Commander .to be done so. All guards under arms at sun-set and day-break; drawbridges up at sun -set, and as many precautions taken as II an enemy were actually in sight of the island; no merchant ship of any description is all Owed to anchor, and the place exactly the same as If blockaded most closely. It Is morally impossible that he should escape from the island without having a ship at a little distance to receive hiM; and any sailean be seen 60 miles off In moderately clear weather. Two shipt have been sent to the Cape of tiood Hope for * Stock, which are anxiously looked for. " This Island stipplies itself with nothing but vegetables, and' depends entirely on imports fos subsistence. Cutting eff'all trade prevents any supply to the inhabitants, but what they ire allow ed to purchase from the public stores (the same quantity as the ration to the troops) the fishing boats not being allowed to fish at night, which was the best time altogether, renders the sites don of Cirileans worse than ours, and they murmur not a little. I suppose the population of the Island may amount to 3,500, in- eluding 500 Company's troops. " The state of society here is much behind what one would have expected in an English colony. Indeed, there is scarcely any society to be met with, except the daughters of the Cow paces Officers, and they can say, Yes, or No. They are what' ' we call Yamstocka (natives of the isla nd). They bad a theme. ' which, however, was shut long before we came. We first made It a barrack, sod now an hospital. A library, they say,they wig have in six "tombs.
