This day is a holiday at the Bank, but the Stock WNW Is open, To-morrow being blettlintday.--Consois esatiaimeed at 82 one-half 5-Bths, -but afterwards receded to satba--tise price at one o'clock. The great Capitalise are purr.haws at those prices, and a considerable advance is anticipated. Five French Mails, which have been detained by contrary winds, arrived in the course of last 'night and this morning. From the mass of Papers they have brought, we must content ourselves at present, with subjoining a few of the more prominent passages only. The French Funds, we observe, have at last' reached to 66fr. 25c. which is higher than they have . ever been since the conebtsion of the last loan. ' CHADIREPPOP DEPUTIES, JANUARY it The Chamber met this day at one o'olock for -the discussion of the Project of Law relative a the Re cruitment of the Army. M. Josef BesuVore . who was the first inscribed' to speak against the Project, concluded an able speech by proposing several amendments, the chief object of which was to give to the Cantons an oppor tunity of furnishing their contingents voluntarily be:- fore resorting to a ballot. If the Chamber should not idopt these amendments, M. Beauvoir declared that he would vote against the law. M. de BOND' spoke against the adoption of the law; but also with certain amendments on the subject of promotion. M. de CAUMONT opposed the Project generally. Baron de BRIGODE supported the leading principles of the plan, reserving to himself to vote for any amendments which' might ameliorate its operation. M. Da COURTARVEL considered the Project of Law to be contrary to the Royal prerogative and to the interests of the Monarchy ; and while he admit ted the necessity of some plan for recruiting the army, wished that some plan could be devised more analo gous to the paternal forms of the King's government. Farther discussion adjourned till to-morrow. PARIS, JANUARY 14. 'The Committee on the Concordat has suspended its Sittings, four of its Members having decided for the rejection, and the others for the adoption of the Pro ject of Law. One of the Members proposed, in order to obtain an approximation of opinion, to invite the Duke de Richelieu and M. Laine, Minister of the In terior, to attend the Committee. This recommenda- tion has been agreed to, and in consequence the Com mittee waits the answer of his Majesty's Ministers with regard to another meeting. It will not be till after having had a conference with these Ministers that the Committee will terminate its labours, and ap point its Reporter. It is stated from Rhode; that the woman Bancal is very seriously indisposed. The Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers were pre sented yesterday to the King, after mass. His Ma jesty afterwards transacted business with the Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice, and the Duke de Richelieu. The consequence of the residence of Madame de Krudener in different parts of Switzerland are now felt in different quarters of that country. Two of the Cantonal Governments have been obliged to take effi cacious measures against the disorders which have taken place in their territories, in consequence of the opinions propagated by that Lady. Very afflicting dissentions have arisen in several families. The most absurd prophecies continue to circulate. It is stated from Zurich, that the ei-devant King of Sweden, Gustavus Adolphus, who has resided for some time past in Switzerland, has requested of the lesser Council of Bale to have conferred upon him the right of citizenship at Bale. It is said also that he intends to purchase a very fine villa in the Canton of Bale, for his constant residence.- Madame Manson arrived at Albi on the 6th inst. escorted by gendarmes. She was conveyed to the prison of St. Cecilia. The affair of Mathurin Bruneau, calling himself Louis XVII. comes on the 9th of next month, before the Tribunal of Correctional Police of Rouen. It is said that M. Mejan, who was to have been his Ad vocate, has renounced his defence, and it is not known what Advocate will plead his, cause. The Count de Palmela ► the Portuguese Ambassa dor to the Court of Lando*, who had come to Paris to confer with the Plenipotentiaries of the High Allied Powers, respecting the differences between Portugal and Spain, set out on Monday evening for London. * STUTGARD, JANUARY 6. AMERICAN PAPERS. This day we received New York Papers to the 22d nit. The following are their principal contents: In Senate the 16th, the following motions were laid on the table for consideration : By Mr. WILLIAMS, of Mississippi. Resolved, That the Committee co the Judiciary be instructed to inquire what provisions are necessary to give effect to the hvis of the United frames within the State of Misaissippi. The King has issued a new Ordontiance respecting the Liberty of the Press, which prescribes, amongst other things, the deposit of all new works that shall in future be published in the kingdom. By Mr. TROUP. Resolved--That the President of the United States be re quested to cause to be laid before Senate such informatics:as be may possess, touching the esecudas of so much olthe first Asi. tick of the late Treaty of Peace and Amity, between his Sri. tannic Majesty and the United States of America, as relates to the restitution of Sines, and which has at heretofore bees communicated. By *Mr. BARBOUR.

J. Monroe, his Secretary : " To the House of Representatives, " In compliance with the Resolutions of the House of Representatives of Bth of this month, I transmit, for the information of the House, a Report from the Secretary of State, with the documents referred to in it, containing all the information of the Executive, which it is proper to disclose, relative to certain per sons who lately took possession of Amelia Island and Galveston. (Signed) " JAMES bIOKROZ. " Washington, Da. 16, 1517." SAVANNAH, DECEMBER 9. FROM TUE Sourn.—By a Gentleman just arrived from St. Mary's, which place he left on Friday even ing last, we learn, that Colonel Bankhead, with the United States' troops, have arrived at Point Petre.— The object of the concentration of troops at that port Aury appears to be aware of, and is only waiting for vessels to arrive, when he and his black heroes will evacuate the Island of Amelia. We also learn that Woodbine has arrived at Pensacola, from New Pro vidence, with an expedition fitted out from the latter place; and that he had enlisted in his course a num ber of Indians ; and it is said that *Gregor is with him—we hope not. The-United States brig Savanac took possession of a prize on Thursday last going into Amelia. Florida will be taken possession of by the United States troops as soon as the frigate John Adams, brigs Prome theus and Enterprize, and schooner Lynx arrived, which were expected daily. There was a rumour at Amelia, that a British expedition was fitting out in some of the West,lndia Islands, for the purpose of , taking possession of the Floridas. At Amelia the most shameful outrages have been committed by Aury's troops—several murders were perpetrated by them with impunity, neither life nor property was safe if within the reach of these free_ booters and brigands. The armies in the United States continue to concentrate in the Southern States. Yesterday being the Anniversary on which her MA JESTY'S Birth-day has been usually celebrated, the morning was ushered in with the ringing of bells, which continued during the day; there were other de monstrations of rejoicing. Monday last, General Count CZAROUSKI, attended by his Aide-de-Camp, left town for Brighton, for the purpose of presenting to the PRINCE REGENT a letter of condolence from the Emperor ALEXANDER. On the following day he proceeded to Came, to pay a visit of condolence to Prince LEOPOLD, and returned on Friday to the Pavilion. The Count had a private audience of the PRINCE REGENT on Saturday, on taking leave of his Royal Highness, and returned to town yesterday afternoon. BREMEN, JANUARY 3.

VIENNA, DECEMBER 5 1 . " The conferences of the Prussian CouncMor of State, M. Jordan, 'with the Chiefs- of our Department for Foreign Affairs, stil,l continue very frequent. FRANKFORT, JANUARY 9. By letters from Vienna we learn, that intelligence has been received in that city, of the arrival of the Princess Leopoldine, spouse of the Prince Royal of Portugal, at Rio Janeiro, after a most favourable voyage. THEATRES. Yesterday the Duke of GLOUCESTER attended Di vine Service at St. George's Church. By accounts received yesterday afternoon from Croxteth MIL we learn that the Earl of Servos is much better.' Friday, died, at Windsor, the Right. Hop. Lord WA LSINGH AM. of Merton Hall, Norfolk, father of the Hon. and Rev. THOMAS Da GREY, one of the Pre bendaries of Winchester Cathedral. He is succeeded in his titles and estates by General the Hon. GEORGE DE GREY. Friday died, at his house at Hammersmith, in the prime of life, after a long and painful illness, which he bore with the utmost fortitude and resignation, A. B. TuauauLL, Esq. For abont eight months pre vious to his illness he edited the Public Ledger. He was conversant with most of the ancient and modern languages, possessed an excellent understanding, and was much respected by a numerous circle of friends. The ship Grace, DAVE (with Officers, passengers, bound to South America), which was seized at Cowes, has been liberated, and arrived at the Motherbank, preparatory to proceeding for St. Thomas's, the first fair wind. Major LOCILYER, and the other Officers who had engaged - their passage in the above ship, and who were subsequently concerned in a duel, at Cowes, with Lieutenant SUTTON COC FIRA NE, it is ascertained, sailed for South America in a brig, a few days after the fatal event took place. " it is undentood in the best informed circles, that the finan cial measures for the current year are pretty nearly determined on. The Cuasicau.oa of the Excumuxa does not intend to fund any Exchequer Bills, much less take it loan. The whole expen diture, it is espected, w2I not exceed 54,000,000, and this will be effected principally by a reduction ef the army to its final peace establishment, and by the saving of latettst which will be made by reducing the 5 and 4 per cents. The amount of Revenue, (including every thing) is estimated at 52,000,000, leaving an apparent deficit between receipt and expenditure of six; but' it must always be recollected, that out of the expenditure, nearly 14,000,000 will be paid tp the Ccennissionen for the rednecks of the debt ; and the only doubt is, whether six of these should not be applied to balance the account between expendkare and revenue, leaving the reassininglo,ooo,ooo, with the accumulation ' of interest, to the reduction of the debt."—Eitglithseesi. Upon what data the Revenue is calculated at Fifty-two Millions in the preceding statement we know not. The permanent sources last year produced something less than forty millions, and their amount in the last quarter was under twelve millions. By the addition of some annual duties the Revenue of last year was carried up to nearly forty-three mil lions, and that of the last quarter to twelve millions and a half ; but in January there was a more than usual payment of duties on Sugar, so that with the only facts that are yet before us forty-eight millions may bi considered a high estimate. With certain war taxes, under the head of Excise, which have not yet been rendered permanent, the whole amount may perhaps be taken at fifty-one millions. Perhaps the mcrease of Assesied Taxes from the late rigid surveys may be counted upon; but these will only operate for a very short period ; for all the gimlet holes which have been counted windows will be plugged up before next April, and many of the surcharges on rents will be resisted and set aside. The late surveys and sur charges have excited much clamour, and, we venture to say, more real discontent, than all the harangues of all the demagogues of all the seditious assemblages which excite& so much alarm in the minds of the friends of peace and good order. Coaowxlt a ItinuEsr.—An inquisition was taken at the Red Lion and Ball, Red Lion -street, Holborn, on Saturday, on the body of Mrs. Susai.aah Dale, a widow, who resides at No. 60, Red Lion-street, and was generally reported to have died from want of common necessaries, although she was possessed of property at the time of her death to the amount of 70001. Verdict—" Died by the visitation of God." The property goes to the nephew of the deceased, who resides near Congleton. PUGILISTIC INFORMATION..-A match for twenty guineas a side, in a twenty feet ring, within twenty miles of London, will take place on the 27th instant, between Purcell and M'Carty. Also another display on the same day, between Gidgeon, a Jew, and Dug gan. Challenges have been offered by Carter, Oli ver, and Spring, to fight any men of their weight, for 100 guineas a side. Painter and Sutton are expected ' to be matched against two of them. Randall and Turner, it is thought, will meet in Tay. CORN EXCHANGE, MARK -LANE, JANUARY: 19.
