" e- tcil which as to determine the im portant question of the fitness of dissolving the Biala men', 1s to meet at the Earl of LivEarooL'a, Fife House, on Thursday, summcnses to that effect having be_ n issued from the Foreign and other Offices yesterday. On Thursday next, the remaining part of the French Minister's Scheme for the reduction of the Interest of the National Debt of France will be pot to trial. This part of the plan, as our Readers may remember, con sists of a proposition, that the holders of Five per Cent. Stock should exchange the same for an equal quantity of a new Slick, which is to bear interest at the rate of Four and a Half per Cent. But this last is declared ir redeemable for ten years, whereas the Five per Cent. Stock is redeemable at pleasure, in whole or in part, with or without notice, at any time the Minister has the means of appropriating an instalment for that purpose. It will be recollected, that the first part of M. DE ViL• LELE'S plan, consisting of an offer of 134 Stock, in the Three per Cents. for each 100 of Fives, was tried on the 18th of August last, and succeeded to a considerable extent. At that period the Fives were at 103, and the new Three per Cent. Stock was at 75. Since then, however, the situation of the money market in France, as well as in this country, has materially varied. Five per Cents. are now only at 99.65, and Three per Cents. at 71.9 J; and the approaching experiment is therefore to be made under more disadvantageous circumstances. Note ithstanding which, when the operation of the very efficient Sinkieg Fund at the French Minister's disposal is considered, it is evident that nothing short of a doubt of the continuance of peace can prevent the intended conversion. For, those who accept the proposed Four and a Half per Cents. will inevitably, at a very trifling reduction of income, secure an improved market for their capital, and be enabled, if the peace continue, to sell their New Four and a Half per Cents. for more money than they are likely to obtain for the present Five per Cents. Thus, note ithstanding the decline of the Funds, an annuity of Four Pounds sterling in the New Three per Cents. sells within 31. 15s. of an an nuity of Five Pounds in the Old Fives, for which it was exchanged in August last ; and there is a moral certainty that this New Stock will, as we have all along predicted, soon attain a higher value, and more than indemnify the holders for the temporary loss of income. There is no conceivable reason for doubting that the proposed Four and a Half per Cents. will be in the same situation. Nevertheless, so imperfectly is the funding system understood in France, that it is ex tremely probable that a strong opposition will be made to the intended conversion, by the confederacy of great speculators, who calculate, perhaps, on compelling the Minister to desist from his intention, in which object we are very much inclined to think that they will even tually be defeated. Dutch Papers to the 1' —.. 73 11 77 -- ist. reached us this fore noon, but they contain no news worth quoting. An article from Brussels states, the several Ministerial de partments will close on the 30th of this month, so as to be able to resume business on the 10th October at the Hague. In a preceding column we have inserted some ez. tracts from the Aitsfrien Observer, on the stairs of Greece. The sense Journal quotes, from the Spetlateer !Oriental of the 37th of August, a letter from Napoli di Romania, dated the 4th of August, stating that the Greek Government of Napoli had determined to seek the protection of England. The Austrian Observer then adds the following mystifying Note: " In communicating this article of the Oriental Spec. tator, we content ourselves to-day with assuring our readers that all the accounts contained in it are fully confirmed by the letters which we have . ourselves re ceived direct from Napoli di Romania. n A new scene in the Greek insurrection has opened. What could not fail to happen has happened ; the Depu ties of the Philhellenic Committees are at variance with each other, and with the Insurgent Government, in the same manner as the heads of the Government differ with each other, and with the Chiefs of the several tribes of the Peloponnesus and the islands. Our impar. tiality commands us, a;historians, to wait for some far ther information before we attempt more minutely the various e:ements of the present chaotic state of things. Whether the mixture of so many heterogeneous ;ogre dients, whether the transferring to Greece of the pas- sions, and consequently of the errors which party spirit brings forward in these times of fermentation in Chris tian Europe, have promoted and served the cause of the Greeks? or whether they have not, on the contrary, tended to its entire ruin?—this is a question which will not, and cannot, long remain without solution. As soon as we ourselves see clear enough to be able to furnish authentic materials for the history of the day, we shall step forward, boldly and firmly, as we have constantly done since the beginning of the troubles in the East, without regard to a generally diffused system of imposition." With the exception of France, the late treaty between that country and Hayti appears to have satisfied no one. As for the Haytians, if they reflect at all on the subject, they must feel that they, as FRANKLIN says, have "paid too dear for the whistle;" that, in fact, they have been duped into the recognition of an authority on the part of France, which they shook off thirty years ago, and the existence of which they have ever since denied. With regard to this country, however we may feel the folly of the Haytians in giving a commercial preference to France, we have no fear that it will injure us. The superiority of our manufactures have forced their way hitherto, in spite of prohibitions and confiscations, and Berlin and Milan Decrees, and therefore we need not be alarmed at the treaty with Hayti. In the United States, however, this treaty excites much discussion as to the course the Federal Government should follow towards the revolted slaves. This is of course to the slave-holding states of North America, a very serious and .delicate ; question. In the demi-official organ of the Cabinet of Washington, the National Intelligencer of the 6th'..of August, we find the following observations upon this important subject : . 4, Some of our Newspapers are in haste to anticipate for our Go. ' vernment much embarrassment from questions which are expected to arise out of the political attitude that the Island of Hayti will assume in consequence of the acknowledgment of its independenCe by the French Government. This embarrassment, it is supposed, will proceed from the delicacy which this Government - will feel iu the recognition of an independent State, composed of the African race, become free by successful revolt, and situated almost centi guous to the Southern parts of our Union, when the same race forms so large a portion of the population, and is unavoidably held in slavery. We see, however, no perplexity in the case ; for though the:example of Hayti, if aided by mischievous intrigue, eo•operating with the declamations of our northern sanguinary philanthropists, might produce temporary mischief in the south ; still the independence of Hayti can produce no embarrassment, as it does not necessarily lead to the reception of Black Minis ters Plenipotentiary, or any Ministers at all, from that Island. Haiti has long been treated by this country as an independent ' State tie facto, so far as regards commercial intercourse; and this intercourse can still be superintended in both countries by commer cial agents residing in earls. Our own citizens are in many cases the Consuls of Foreign Powers, and will probably in most instances act in that capacity for Hayti also. If ihere be any evil of the nature apprehended, incident to the independence of Hayti, it is an evil which it will be very easy, it appears to us. for our Government to remedy or avert. We speak, however, our own impressions alone, as we knew nothing of the opinions or sentiments of others on the subject. There is, in our opinion, more real mischief to be dreaded in the South, from the efforts of some of our own misguided fana tics, who are aided by certain newspapers of the North, than from the ratification of the independence of Hayti."

The match between Mr. Quicke's Antelope of 14 tons, and Captain Edmund Lyon's Queen I .llab, of 12 tons, on the result of which very large sums depended, took place in our Roads yesterday,' in a strong easterly wind. Soon after starting, the Queen Alai, shot a-head, tacked, and weathered the Antelope, which advantage she maintained so long as the race continued; but, unfortunately, at a moment when both boats were carrying a heavy press of sail, through a heavy squall, the Antelope lost her bowsprit, and was obliged to give up the curtest. Captain Lyon pursued his course and won the bets depending on his boat. The Antelope was most ably ma. naged by Captain Robert White, who persevered until the loss of the bowsprit precluded all hope f regaining the distance the Ante lope bad previously lost. tinnA Pitt: 7he tession of Parliament for 1825: Eihibiting obi State of Parties and Interests, the Debates and EA: actments, and the whole Proceedings of both H ouses of the British Legi4ature during that Period. Td 6i continued Aumialry. Bvo. London, 1825. The proceedings of tilt British Legislature Are id paramount in importance and interest to every class ci the community, that, on a first view of the matter, ore cannot help feeling some degree of astonishment the no one, before the author of the present volume, shoul 4 have attempted to record them in a more connect ei and intelligible form than that in which they hail hitherto appeared. A little reflection, however, on thi magnitude of the undertaking, and the difficulty of reducing into a small compass, and arranging under distinct heads, proceedings so voluminous, so varied ; and frequently so foibidding in their details, as those of the two Houses of Parliament, must, we should imagine, soon convince any one that such a task re. quired very peculiar talents—that of those who pos sessed the industry and information necessary for exe cuting it with success, comparatively few would think of attempting it—and that to those who are guided in their literary enterprises by more palpable inducements than general utility, the labour would appear out of all proportion to the profit likely to be derived from it. It is true, that abstracts of the proceedings of Parliament generally make their appearance in Magaz;nes, Regis ters, and other periodical publications; but these either come out while the proceedings are still pending, and consequently give no connected view of them, or at so distant and irregular periods, that the interest which they might otherwise have excited is fled and gone. In all these also, the proceedings of Parliament are only given in chronological order, and without any attempt at arrangement, reflection, or comment ;.so that, how ever useful they may prove as works of reference to Members of the Senate, and others immediately con. nected with it, it is evident that they have no chance of being pet used and investigated by the community at large. The consequence has been, that with the excep tion of those whose vocation or interests induce them to make themselves acquainted with ,such matters, there are comparatively few who know anything of them, but through the medium of newspapers. A work, therefore, which should record the proceed ings of the British Senate, without prejudice or par tiality —arrange them in such order as to render them easy of access—and written in such a style as to secure them a fair chance of public attention, was hitherto a great desideratum in our literature, and was likely, if executed with care and ability, to be highly interesting and useful. We own that we were not very sanguine in our expectations of seeing such an undertaking suc cessfully accomplished, and in consequence hegan the perusal of the present work with no very strong pre possessions in its favour. It is but fair, however, to state that we have been (what we seldom are in such cases) very agreeably disappointed; and that if the volume now before us does not altogether come up to the idea which we had formed of such a work, the cause is to be ascribed less to any want of the qualifications necessary for executing it, than to the imperfection and difficulty which must al ways accompany a first attempt. On this ground the author lays claim to the indulgence of his readers, and for our part we readily grant it, in fall expectation that it will neither be required nor needed in future. The book is divided into eleven chapters. The first contains a very spirited, and in general, a very accu rate theory of political parties; the second and third, a very excellent summary of the evidence laid before Parliament on the state of Ireland ; the fourth is taken up with the opening of the Session, and the debates on the Bill for putting down the Catholic Association; the fifth details the debates on the Catholic Question ; the sixth is occupied with the various measures which were proposed and rejected ; the seventh, eighth, and ninth, relate to the Financial statement of the Chancellor, and' the changes effected in the commercial and judicial' system; the tenth and eleventh, give an account of the miscellaneous measures, and Private Bills. An Ap pendix, containing a list of the Members of the House' of Commons, along with the suppled influences by which they are returned, and an estimate of their' talents, and general attendance in Parliament, con cludes the volume. From this account of the contents of " The Session of 1825," it will be easily seen that a very large portion ' of it is occupied with Catholic affairs—a circumstance which will undoubtedly be matter of satisfaction to' some, and of regret with others. We are on the whole,' however, disposed to think that the author judged wisely in treating the subject at considerable length ; for although the judicial and commercial reforms were undoubtedly the most important measures of the Sep. :ion, and constitute by far its brightest and most lasting features, yet the discussions on the Catholic Question, and the evidence taken by the Committees on the state of Inland, threw so much new light on the anomalous state of that country, that to have omitted a full and accurate account of them, would certainly have been a greater error than to have given them at the greatest length. The arrangement of the different subjects is good, and must have been attended with great labour; the style is neat and perspicuous, and the account of each measure followed by remarks which display_con siderable judgment and reflection. The work is intended to be continued from year to year, and we heartily wash it success.
