An universal alarm was excited in the City this morning by the Bank doors in Bartholomew-lane not being open for business at the regular hour, nine o'clock, arid the appearance of a number of Soldiers parading the inner Courts, and Sentinels at the front entrance, Bank Buildings. It was afterwards ascer tained that some fears were excited of an unpleasant nature. owing to the execution of the unfortunate men this morning, for Forgery ; but, we are happy to state, that at half-past ten the doors were opened, and business commenced without the slightest at tempt having been made to disturb, in any shape, the security of this great National Establishment. The Paris Papers of Saturday at rived this forenoon. The Funds continue to decline in a manner which ill accords with the confident tone inwhich the KING expressed himself in his opening Speech to the Cham bers, respecting the financial prospects of the country. On the Ist of this month, the Five per Cents. were at 69 fr. on Friday last, they opened at 64 fr. and closed at 63 fi. making a total fall, in the course of eleven days, of 6 fr. The KING has added to his endeavours •for conci liating the favour of the army by a new Ordinance, which appears in the Moniteur now received, ordain ing \ that in future no Sub-officer, who is decorated with the Legion of Honour, shall be cashiered, unless by the special authority of his MAJESTY. M. FORBIN or JANSON, one of the persons exiled by the Ordinance of the 24th of July, is, it is said, among the number of those who have obtained per mission to return to France. The admission of such an on-dit as this into the Journals, may be consi dered; we presume, as equiva!ent to an official noti fication of the fact. The Duke of ANcouLaNtx was expected in Paris on Saturday, and the Duke of WELLINGTON to leave it for London on Sunday. Recent accounts, which we have received from Lis bon, present a most desponding picture of the state of decay into which that capital, and indeed the whole kingdom of Portugal, has sunk, since the removal of the Royal Family to the Brazils. The following is an extract from a letter, dated •t LISBON,- NOVEMBER 14. 4 , We have for a long time flattered ourselves with hopes of the return to this capital of the King and Court, but all these hopes have now vanished—the .mother country appeals abandoned, and it is to Bra zil that the seat of Government is now transferred, at least for the present reign. It is said, however, that the son of the King, who has espoused an Arch duchess of Atistria, will arrive in Lisbon at the com mencement of the ensuing Spring—that he will es tablish his residence hero—and that he will have very extensive powers of administration. However, every thing as to this is still very uncertain, and the situa tion of our country is, under all circumstances, at least, very singular. " The Court of Madrid continues extremely irri tated against us, on account of the occupation of Monte Video and subsequent events. If her situation prevents her from taking► vigorous measures op this occasion her resentment is not the less keen, and we may expect ere long to see it burst forth if the Allied Powers do nct succeed in removing those obstacles which stand in the wdy of an arrangement so desirable. . . _ " While our present situation offers singularities, unexampled in the history of Portugal, our trade at the same time experiences every day considerable losses. The Independent corsairs cover the seas, pil lage our merchant ships, make prize of such as they please, maltreat the crews, and thus spread so gene ral an alarm, that merchants are afraid to venture their fortunes in commercial speculations, now be come so dangerous. We have seen these pirates in sult our ships at the very mouth of the Tagus, and make captures in view of the Portuguese coast. It has been often said that-our Kingdom may be re gardid as an English Colony ; if this assertion had any degree of probability in it, it may be added, that it is a Colony very ill protected by a mother-country whose immense navy ensures her the supremacy of the seas." • A report, it is added, prevails, that some additional, Portuguese regiments are destined for Rio Janeiro— every thing thus tending to shew that the Portuguese Court has now turned all its views of aggrandize ment to the American Continent. Wo learn, by the same arrivals, that for some time past several slight shocks of earthquakes have been felt in the environs of Lisbon, which at first occa sioned a good deal of alarm ; but as nothing serious has resulted front them, the public mind has become again at ease on the subject. The produee of all kinds, especially of vines and oranges, has this year been most abundant through out the whole of Portugal, and of the richest quality. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. FALMOUTH, DECEMBER le.

MONTROSE, DECEMBER It. The Harbour Lights pf this Port are to be lighted on the 21st, and continue to be lighted, from sun-set to sun-rise, until the Ist of May. LERWICK, NOVEMBER 26. A large ship (about 400 tons) from the Baltic, with timber, brought up on the 18th inst. off the West side of these Islands, in 60 fathoms water, with loss of bowsprit, fore-top -mast, and mizen-mast, and all the deck lumber. The Pilot wished to get her into Hillswich, but it came on to blow so hard, that they found it impossible; they, therefore, were oblig led to let her drift to sea. She had plenty of provi- Isions and water on board, and it is hoped will be able to get into some port in these islands very soon. The Pilot said she belonged to Stockholm. CLENLUCE, DECEMBER S. A Brig came into this Bay last night, and was wrecked upon the sand. The crew appears-to have perished, as there is no person on board, and the waves ate dashing pieces of her to the shore. It is not known here to what - plate she belongs, or what she is loaded with. CUSTOM-HOUSE, LONDON, DECEMBER 14.

CASE OF THE SHIP PROVIDENCIA, PRIZE TO AN INDEPENDENT PRIVATEER. (FROM THE NEW YORK ADVERTIZER OF THE 13TH or NOVEMBER.) This vessel, it will be recollected, was seized by the Revenue Officer's of this Port, in the month of June, 1817, while she was attempting to pass up to Baltimore. The Providencia was the property of certain subjects of the Ring of Spain, from whom she was forcibly taken, while going from St. Aftdero to the Havannah with a cargo of cordage, cutlery, &c. by an armed vessel, called the Nangore, fitted out at Baltimore, commanded by Captain Barnes, and cruizing under the flag of one of the Independent' Provinces of South America.—The captors, after putting a prize crew on board of her, ordered her to Buenos Ayres, but, owing to stress of weather, and ' , other causes, the Prize-master thought proper to shape his course for Baltimore. On being brought in here, she was immediately libelled by the Consul of his Catholic Majesty, in behalf of her Spanish owners, and a Decree was subsequently issued out of the District Court of the United States, directing both the vessel and the cargo to be sold, and the proceeds dztosited in the Bank, subject to the future order of the Court.—The following, we understand, is the final Decree of the Judge (Tome's), during the pending Term of the Court :—" Five•sixths of the whole amount to be paid over to his Catholic Ma jesty's Consul for the State of Virginia, for the be nefit of the Spanish owners ; the remaining sixth to be retained and held at the disposal of the Court, as salvage, should any legal claim of that sort be put in within twelve months—but should no such claim be preferred during that period, or being preferred, and the Court should deem it insufficient, then the sum so retained, to be paid over to the Spanish Con • suls in the first case." Captain the Hon. HENRY DuNcEsr, of the LIMY, fitted for the Mediterranean station, has been ap pointed to the REVOLUTIONAIRE, which ship is to be fitted for the East Indies. Captain the Hon. FLEET WOOD PELLEw has been appointed to the LIFFEY. It is said the REVOLUTIONAIRE is intended to take.out a new Governor-General to the East Indies. Thursday the SAPPHIRE, 44, Captain HART, for the Jamaica station ; LEVEN, 24, Captain Murillo ',maw, C. B. for the East Indies; and the REDwixo, 18, Captain HUNN, for St. Helena and the Cape, are rived at Portsmouth from the River. They willpro ceed to their destinations in a few days. THE ARMY. • • •' Tht,Flatxtrz REGENT has appointed Major-General TOWN to the offiri, of Master of St. Katharine's Hospital, near the Tema, vacant by the death of the late Mr. DISBROW& • We stated a few days ago, on what we then consi dered to be good authority, that the Roth Regiment was about to proceed to the West Indies. We have, however, reason to believe, from farther inquiry, our information was incorrect. This regiment has only lately returned from the East Indies, where it had been stationed for 20 years, and it is not usual so soon to order the same regiment on foreign service. We now know that at the head-quarters of the Regi ment (Kingston-upon-Hull) no orders have been re ceived even to prepare for foreign service. DUBLIN, DECEMBER 9.—The 96th regiment, quar tered in Limerick, are to be disembodied to-morrow. All the detachments of the 96th, cantoned in the county of Limerick and the county of Tipperary, are ordered forthwith to join head-quarters. They are severally to be replaced by the 23d Fusileers ; the first division is to arrive in Limerick Garri son on this day. One hundred and thirty of the 95th have volun teered their service for several Regiments ; many turned out for the 7th Fusileers, and 12th Foot. Two troops of the 20th Light Dragoons, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Blake, arrived in Limerick on Saturday from Gort, to join head-quar ters at Caher, where the entire regiment is to be dis banded ; all the Officers of Corps to be reduced this month will receive full pay to the 24th of February. The 20th Dragoons, at Gort, are to be replaced by the Queen's Bays, daily expected from Bristol. For some days Kilkenny has been the scene of con siderable military bustle. A division of the :id Buffs marched into that town on Wednesday from Cork, on their route to Dublin, and were followed by the remainder of the Regiment on the succeeding days.— A detachment of the 7th or Royal Fusileers arrived at Kilkenny on Friday, and will proceed to the same destination. These Regiments, which formed part of our imm:n , e military establishment in France, are in t!iz most efficient state. Their presence, as denoting the triumphant termination of that military union which was so well designed to protect the peace of Europe, could not fail to excite most cheering re collections. Friday the first division of the 43d Light Infantry marched into Clonmel from Cork, on their way to Belfast. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Sta,--h has been said, I know not with what foundation, th;.: one of the measutes of economy to be adopted in the inteede.. Reduction of the Army, would be the giving Brevet Field-Oti cers Regimental Rank, for .the purpose of placing them on ita't pay, in order to bring from half-pay effective Regimental Cap tains to fill their vacancies. By this means a permanent p,cu niary advantage would be granted to the Brevet Field-Officers, without increasing, in any way, the burthens of the country : on the contrary, with some little saving ; and, under such circum stances, it is but just that such who have obtained this rank, either from length or merit of their service, should have the option of what, to them will be a great benefit, and to the public no loss. A Brevet Field-Officer's pay as Captain in a regiment is 12s. 6d. per diem ; a Captain's 10s. 6d.; a Regimental Major's half-pay is 9i. Gd. ; a Captains Ti.;therefore, if the Brevet Field- Offizer is tilde a Regimental M.ajor and reduced, the 2s. 6d. which he receives in addition to the 7s. of the Captain who succeeds hint, is covered all to sixpence by the Captain only receiving Ms. Gi. on full pay Instead cf 12s. 6d. which the Brevet Field-Officer received ; and, surely, this sixpence is more than corngeneatcd by the probable duration of the lives of the two Annuitants, the Brevet Field Officeri being gene rally men advanced in life, and at an average 10 years older than the Regimental Captains. By such an arrangement, also, Regiments would be relieved from the bstrthen of so many Bre vet Field Officers, which, although highly necessary in time of war, when the troops were collected in bodies, will be very seri ously felt at present, particularly in our reduced garrisons abroad; since these Officers, instead of being divided amongst two br three battalions, are now for the most part collected in one, as they are generally the Senior Captains of the Regiment to which they belong, and consequently in most Regiments there are three, in some a half of the Captains (as in the 25th, 27th, 62d), and in the 44th there are seven, and in the 90th air. The duty, therefore, to the Regimental Captains in garrison will be very severe, which will naturally be accompanied with all those little jealousies, which the confusion sometimes of Army and Regi mental Hank is so apt to create. It may indeed be said, that those Brevet Majors who have been reduced would be claimants for the same indulgence, but it should be recollected they are not in the same situation as to the value of their Commissions, , the difference between full and half-pay of Captains being X 678 15s. lid. and they have either exchanged from one regi ment en another for their- own convenience, or they are not of sufficient standing to have reached the first battalion, and there fore cannot pretend to the same advantages, not having the necessary equivalent to the country, that of bringing In effective Regimental Captains in their places, by which alone increase of expense may be avoided. I see no other objection except what might arise from the Engineers, Artillery, and Marines ' not being included ; yet when all their peculiar advantages with regard to promotion are taken into consideration, which alone precludes them participating in this, they can have no right nor pretence of complaint. I have taken the liberty of sending you this letter, as the me dium of communication to those who are the best and proper judges of such a measure; a measure by which, for the reasons abocamentioned, it appears, a reward to the Brevet Field Offi cers would be combined with gain to the Public and benefit to the Service; and above all, with the selection of young and ac tire Officers, on the Peace Establishment, for the formation of any increase to the Army, in the event of a war.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, Art OFFICER. Saturday, about fifty head of Game were received by the Freemen of Tamworth, who voted for Lord CHARLES TOWNSHEND—being the third or fourth package—the Freemen receiving them in the order of their votes. In the afternoon, after being paraded in triumph on a pole, the Hares were hung out from the voters' windows, decorated in the colours of the party; as a punning correspondent says, " keeping the Game alive." _ A Commercial Exchange has been just established at Calais, by Royal Ordinance. A part of the Hotel de Ville has been allotted for the purpose. A sheep, belonging to Mr. Bismon, of Tugby, was stolen and killed in the night of Tuesday, the Ist inst. and the carcase and skin were immediately conveyed by one of the party to Leicester, where a butcher, with whom a contract for the sale had been previously entered into, lives. The thief; who, it seems, was not well acquainted with the butcher's residence, dis turbed the inhabitants of a house two doors off, where, to his mortification, dwelt a constable, who, sut:,,eet ing from the ambiguity of the man's erpressions, :tad the unseasonableness of the hour (for it was then early in the morning of Wednesday), that all was nct right, obtained possession of the meat, &c. took the fellow into custody, and shortly after lodged him in Leices ter jail. Two other men, his accomplices, were ap prehended the same day, at Blaiston.—Such is the 1 speedy end of the career of those who devote them selves to theft !
