• FOREIGN INT.ELLIGSNGE. — VIENNA, JANUARY 14. It is said that Government proposes in the first months of this year, to put twenty millions of gooney into circulation. By these mean.;, which the Aus - taian monarchy still possesses, after so long and so un fortunate a war, and by the daily augmentation of our national industry, we hope our course of exchange will continue to grow better, and that in the end we will get out of the miserable situation in which we are placed by our commercial operations with foreign countries. JANUARY 19.—Letters worthy of credit state, that the domains of Austria in the Illyrian provinces have been placed under sequestration, in reprisal for the delay which the merchants of Vienna have obtained. Considerable activity is observed in the Cabinet of the Emperor. Several couriers from Petersburgh and Paris have arrived at Vienna within these few days. The report that peace has been concluded between Russia and Turkey is again premature. " PARLIAMENTAItr PROCIEDINGS. HOUSE OF COMMONS, FEB. 14.

Mr. Perceval feels it his duty to express his humble thanks to your Royal Highness for the frankness with which your Royal Highness has condescended, explicitly, to communicate the mo tives which have induced your Royal Highness to honour his colleagues and him with your commands for the continuance of their services, in the stations entrusted to them by the King. And Mr. Pereeval begs leave to assure your Royal Highness, that, in eke expressiea of your Royal Highness's sentiments of filial and loyal attachment to the King, and of anxiety for the speedy re storation of his Majesty's health, Mr. Perceval can see nothing but additional 'motives for their most anxious exertions to give. satisfaction to your Royal Highness, in the only manner in which it can be given, by endeavouring to promote your Royal Highs , ness's views, for the security and happiness of the country. Mr. Pert - real has never failed to regret the impression of your Royal Highness, with regard to the provisions of the Regency Bill, which his Majesty's servants felt it to be their duty to re commend to Parliament. But, he ventures to submit to your Royal Highness, that, whatever difficulties the present awful crisis of the country mid the world may create in the adnainistmol Lion of the Executive Government, your Royal Highness wig not and them, in any degree increased by the temporary suspen. don of the exercise of those branches of the Royal Prerogatives, which has been introduced by Parliament, in conformity to what was intended on a former similar occasion; and that whatever Ministers your Royal Highness might think proper to employ, would find in that full support and countenance which, as long as they were honoured with your Royal Highness's commands,they would feel confident they would continue to enjoy, ample and sufficient means to enable your Royal Highness effectually to maintain the great and important interest of the United Kingdom. And Mr. Perceval humbly trusts, that, whatever doubts your Royal Highness may entertain with respect to the Constitutional propriety of the measures which have been adopted, your Royal Highness will feel assured, that they could not have been recom wended by his Majesty's servants, nor sanctioned by Parliament, bet upon the sincere, though possibly erroneous, conviction, that they in no degree trenched upon the true principles and spirit of the Constitution. Mr. Perceval feels it his duty to add, that he holds himself in readiness, at any moment, to wait upon your Royal Highness, and to receive any commands, with which your Royal Highness may be graciously pleased to honour him. During the present interval of military operations in the Peninsula, the French Officers nn the out-posts, having got up a play, deputed one of their number to invite some of our Officers to be present at the per. formance.
