Z . THE SUFFERINGS OF LEGISLATORS. Some Members of the American House of Repre sentatives have shown much impatience in consequence of the length of the Session. A motion was lately made by a Mr. Taylor for an adjournment; but the House re fused to consider it. The usual time devoted to busi ness has been from twelve tilt four in the'afternoon.— The motion produced a very curious speech from Mr. Randolph. " Four hours per diem," said he, " is as long as I, at least, am able to endure—l will not say the pestilential atmosphere of this Ilous,—but an atmosphere such as nothing but the wretched ani mals plunged in the Grotty del Cane, near Naples, were compelled to breathe ; to gratify the laudable curiosity of the very benevolent philosophers of modern Europe. If the present Session is suffered to continue, instead of having, in Congress, great leading profes sional men, we shall have what have been well d:norninated the merely mechanical, the instrumental members of those professions. And as to the landed interest, how can we expect it to be repre sented, when it is ruin to a landed man to attend here? I for one cannot, Sir, consent to sit here for so many months, de die in diem, for six days in the week, and hear nothing but the same strain for ever repeated. It is enough, Sir, to worry the patience of Job him self. I shall therefore move,' That from and after the end of the present Session of Congress, the per diem allowance of Members be six dollars, and the allowance for travelling expenses be the same sum for every 20 miles travelling.'" The question was taken on 31r. Taylor's resolution, and carried. Mr. Randolph moved the following: Resolved—That from and after the present Session of Congress, the per diets allowance of Members shall be six dollars, and six dollars for every 20 miles travelling. This resolution he desired to lay on the table, and he gave notice that he should call up its consideration on Friday next. The question being put on laying the resolve on the table, it was carried—Ayes 80; 0. Noes, 6 .... --._.__ - THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. TUESDAY, APRIL 27, 1824. THE FUNDS. STOCK EXCHANGE.

Frankfort Papers to the 20th inst. reached us this morning. The only political article of interest they contain, is an account of some disturbances which have taken place in the Canton of Appenzell, called the Rhodes Intetior, in Switzerland, on accc• , n;t of some in novations which the inhabitants concei% _c, have been made on their liberties. It appears that on the Ist of this month, while the Great Council was assembled at Appenzell, a pretty considerable :.:tuber of country people proceeded to the town, with a Petition, demand. ing admittance. They were received to the number of 41, and their Petition read. It - - -jutted, in the name of the people, that the two conve.iis should care'ully examine the new decrees issued by the Government, the rights of the people, the rights of the Nlagittrates, and in short, whatever might seem advantageous to tl;e ge neral prosperity, and that the result cf their labour should be laid before the sovereign people. The Petitioners added, that if contrary to all expec tation this desire was refused, the Landegemeind (or General Assembly of the People) should be immediately convoked. The Council, after a long debate, required that all the Articles which the Petitioners had in view should be distinctly specified; but the latter, refer ring to their application, confined themselves to com plaining in general of the innovations which had taken place in the administration, desiring that the various ordonnances relative to them should be extracted from the protocol. The Council then appointed the sth of April for the complainants to appear before a Special Committee and declare their grievances: This Committee was to con sist of impartial men, chosen from each district of the Canton. On the sth instant the complainants appeared, and painted out verbally the innovations that had began to be introduced in 1811.. The Committee adjontning its decision, ordered, at the same time, that the new in stitutions should be printed, and distributed among the peoples So stands the affair at present. The French Papers of Sunday have reached us. The Journal des Debt* alludes to the rumoured meeting of the Russian EMPEROR and FREDERICKAVILLIA M of Prussia, at Prague, on the subject of the situation of the East of Europe. It does not deny that such an inter view is arranged, though it seeks to throw doubts upon it, and says, that far from being divided, the Powers of the Continent are at this moment in perfect accord, and in a spirit of peace and conciliation respecting the affairs of the East, The Chamber of Deputies met on Saturday, and their proceedings derive whatever interest belongs to them from the new project for reducing the five per cents. which then came under discussion. M. LABOURDONNAYE made a speech of same length in condemnation of the measure. He began by objecting that the new plan would create so much more capital, and would so sensibly retard and embarrass the operations of the sinking fund, He then alleged that the law would be injurious to the agricultural interest: the fundholders, having suffered so much from the diminution of their incomes, would' fear to reduce them further by investments at a higher rate of purchase in land. He finally quoted the words.of M. CORVETTO in 1817, who, in presenting the plan rat Loan, declared the Government to pledge itself to the payment of a perpetual annuity to the fundholders.— " The capital," said he, " will never be redeemed." After some intermediate speakers, the Minister of Finance rose to explain the motives and probable consequences of the project. From the great rise of the funds, they had got into the hands of speculators, and became exposed to ha zardous fluctuations. The Government, for the sake of the fundholdcrs themselves, proposed a plan embracing a twofold object, Ist, to reduce the public debt ; and 2d, to substitute for a stock which could rise no higher, one sus -eptible of a considerable rise, and not liable to the risk of any redemption but that to be effected by the Sinking Fund. A four per cent. stock would not yield such advan tages ; no one could in that case have beets found to engage for the redemption of the existing fives. ASi per cent..scheme had been equally unsuccessful. To effect any bargain, it was necessary to have the power of redeeming ; to be able to redeem, it was necessary to issue at once a stock which it would be possible to s•gotiate at such a price as would produce the means of redemption. The Treasury has the means of ac complishing the conversion of the fives into threes at 75, for such fundholders as may prefer that change to the repayment; and threes have been selected by Go vernment, in order that they may not get into the hands of the great monied companies until after the fundholders have refused them. As a concession to the companies thus restricted, and to provide sufficient means for the redemption of the fives, the Government has postponed, to the Ist of January, 1826, the actual relief to arise from a reduction of the interest. The Minister then proceeded to combat the objections urged against the project; and after a speech which lasted an hour, the discussion was adjourned. - • Last night Mr. and grs. Luau NGTOti returned to town front Lord HADRIeS seat in Kent. Mr. LUSIIINCTON . S health is greatly improved by his country excursion. ST. JAMEs'S LACE.--The repairs of this Palace are complete, and yesterday the painters gave the finishing coat to the exterior gates ; so that everything wilt be in the most perfect state of splendour and convenience for his MAJESTY'S Drawing Room on Thursday, the 13th of May next. The additional staircases and entrances are of the most tasteful and useful description ; and the decorations of the rooms are dazzlingly splendid. 'There is an im mense quantity of burnished gold, and the pannels are covered with crimson silk ; the chandeliers are of immense size and richi , esc, and the general effect is, perhaps, unprecedentedly grand and iropuoing. Various rumours are afloat as to the person likely to be elevated to the Bench in consequence of the vacancy occasioned by the death of Dr. BEADON. It being what is generally called the " Oxford turn," Dr. LLOYD, Regius Professor of Divinity in that University, is generally calculated on for the new Bishop.— Dr. LAW, Bishop of Chester, and brother to the late Lord Er,- LINIOROUGH, will, it is confidently stated, be translated to the va luable see of Bath and Wells. The I toile remarks, that there is not at present a sin gle Ecclesiastic in the French Chamber of Deputies.— They are not excluded by law ; but the fact is that the Revenues of the Church do not give them influence enough to secure a single seat. Letters received from the Island of Santa Maura state that on the 21st of February a violent shock of an earth quake was felt there about eight o'clock in the evening. It produced the greatest consternation in the minds of the people. Several buildings were much injured, and the bridge which joins Fort Alexander to the City was broken down. No lives are said to have been lost, but two females were severely wounded. Letters have been received from Gibraltar, dated the sth instant. No intelligence had been received from Algiers. The British men of war continued to convoy merchantmen bound up the Mediterranean. The Bran ston, of London, has arrived at Gibraltar, from Trini dad; she had been plundered, off Porto Rico, by an Independent privateer. Letters from Hayti mention that a person had been tei , t from thence in February, to treat with France for the independence of that country. A Committee had been instituted, with M. LARNE at their head, to regu late the amount of Indemnity, and the Treaty of Com merce, which France may propose to Hayti, previously to the recognition of the independence of the Island. A letter from Vienna, of the Bth of April, says,— " We hear that a very active correspondence is carrying on between Lord STRANOFORD and Sir HENRY WEL• LESLEY, the English Ambassador at our Court, and that the latter has received instructions to arrange with Prince METTERNICH the diplomatic measures to be taken unanimously for the purpose of putting a speedy end to the negotiations carrying on with the Porte. A letter from Penzance, dated April 21, says—" The Nimble cutter, Lieut. GOLDSMITH, has arrived, for Castle Trereen, St. Levan, with the apparatus, and an addition to the crew, to endeavour to replace the Logging Rock—Ewhich we lately mentioned to have been wan tonly thrown down)—an undertaking in which, it is expected, they are unfortunately not likely to succeed, although they have the most sincere wishes of all the ucighboui ing villagers, and, in fact, all the country round, for their success." THE ARMY. The 97th Regiment of soot is ordered to Quebec; to relieve the 76th, ordered to Ireland. Friday, two companies of the 94th Regiment marched from Edinburgh for Greenock to embark for Gibraltar. The men have not yet received their full clothing and accoutrements, but the drills have been very strict, which hare greatly improved their appear ance. They were accompanied a short way by Sir THOS. BRADFORD, Lord It. KZRR, and several other Military Officers of distinction. The Ist Battalion of the Ist Royals, com manded by Colonel lirLaou, havearrived from Clonmel in Limerick, to do duty.

The Royals are to be replaced at Cionmel by the 58th Regiment, from Ferenoy.

The Winter Ball, on Monday evening, was honoured by the presence of his Grace the Duke of WELuso- TON, accompanied by Lord APSLEY and Sir R. An awriroor ; and was beside most fashionably and nume rously attended, a mark of attention and respect with which his Grace appeared much gratified, no less than by the pleasure which was depicted in the features of all around, who seemed rejoiced in having their hero amongst them.

KING'S BIRTII-DAY IN SCOTLAND. EDINBURGH, APRIL 24. Yesterday being the day appointed for the celebra tion of the birth of our most gracious Sovereign, the Royal standard was hoisted at the usual hour on the Castle, Leith Fort, and the guard ship; the I.ll , inn flag : was also flying on Nelson's Moi,uniei.:, and ;:.e custom- ary salutes were fired at one o'clock . Bar !:, and Public Offices were shut. The r. ay wa. , Alered in by the youth of the city with the usual det.aation ; in the course ofs‘vhich same serious accidents were occasioned by the incautious use of gunpowder. In the evening, the streets of this city ethibiteci scer.3 of disgraceful riot and violence. These took plate the North Bridge chiefly, and on the High Street, wilea! a mob of blackguards assembled, and insisted that evt ry respectable pasienger should take off his liar.' Thos.-1 who demurred were instantly pelted with dead cats an: such other garbage as could be found. For some hour: the streets were held possession of by this mob, and passenger could venture with safety along the brik!lrs. When these rioters were tired of mischief in this quay ter, they proceeded to the Mound, and wantonly al.- ' tacked the caravans of the wild beasts and other politic exhibitions, some of which, in their brutality, they a:. most entirely demolished. The stage in front of James's caravans a part of the mob seized upon and hurled down to Leith, where they threw it into the har bour. On their return they wantonly broke almost all the public lamps on each side of Leith Walk. Strangers will wonder that in a populous city such outtages could continue for such a length of time with impunity, and that one of the leading streets should be kept possession of by a mob of blackguards for two or three hours, so that no decent person could make his way without being exposed to insult and outrage. The mob were driven from the Mound by the policemen, after which they returned to the bridges, and kept pos session of them to a laze hour. They were prevented, however, by the polite from doing farther mischief, and several of them are in custody. GLASGOW, APRIL 24. Yesterday being the Birth-day of our most gracious Sovereign, the same was celebrated here with the usual marks of loyalty and affection. The 6th Dragoons, commanded by Major Madox, assembled in the Green, and after firing a feu de joie, went through a variety of military manoeuvres in a masterly style. The day was uncommonly fine, and a vast multitude at• tended, comprehending all the rank and beauty of this city and its immediate neighbourhood. On the evening, the Magistrates and a great number of our most respectable citizens assembled in the Town Hall, where the healths of his Majesty, and the other branches of the Royal Family, were given and drank with entitt siasm, together with many other loyal and Constita tional toasts. The Assembly was composed of bo:h Ministetialists and Oppositionists. The health of his Majesty's Ministers was received with loud and reite rated bursts of applause. The streets, as usual, were ex ceedingly crowded in the evening, and squibs, cracker:, and fireworks, flying in all directions, but every'.l!ing was orderly, peaceable, and loyal. All ranks and classes hailed with delight the birth•day of a Sovereign s) justly endeared to all his subjects in every corner of British Empire. PAISLEY, APRIL `24 Yesterday was observed hue H ith due demomtra tions of loyalty in honour of Majesty's birth. Early in the forenoon, the colours borne by the Volunte-A. Corps and other local force dmirg the last war, were hoisted on the turrets of the public buildings, and is the centre was placed the flag of the Pai,ley Militia is the year 1715. The front of the County-hall and the balcony were tastefully decorated with dowers aqc.l shrubs. At noon the bells began to ring, and at o::e o'clock, the 6.5 t! Regiment, the Staff of the Ref:- Crew-shire Militia, and the Paisley Rifle Corps, drew in front of the public buildings, when the Magistrates and Council, a number of his Majesty's Justices of the Peace, and Gentl:men of the neighbourhood, came out on the balcony, and drank " Tie King," " The 1).: . r.? of York and the Army," " Lord Melville and the Nary. The troops fired aft a'cjile. The day was fine, A certainly there was not so great a crowd ef on similar occasions for some years back. The Camden Halifax packet, respecting whose safe:y much doubt existed btair here and in A •nerica, has ac length arrived. The cause of her delay originated fic - 3 the state of the weather tar her passage out with the D. cember mail, having been 9 days, during which time she experienced most boisterous weather.
