query would take into consideration the propriety of having a Committee up stairs. If the charges were unlounded, it would only serve to clear the Commis saries from the imputations thrown out against them. When, however, the fact was known that Commis saries had made large ostentatious fortunes, it might be considered as a proof that the Commissariat had not been conducted as it should he. Mr. N ENArNIAM said he most fully concurred in what had fallen from the Honourable Gentleman who spoke last, and unaccustomed to address the House, he only begged leave to add such representa tions had gline abroad respecting the Commissariat in the Peninsula, that he hoped a Committee would be appointed agre:atly to the suggestions that had heen proposed. He should not have engaged the tLne of the House, but from a sense of duty to his country at this momentous period, and, in so doing, he was fully convinced the Government would con sult the best interests of the Crown. The Resolution was then put and agreed to. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, after moving rhis second grant of six millions, con tended that the appointment of a Committee up stairs, to examine the Transude= of,the Commies*. riat, would throw great difficulties in the way of au diting the accounts. It was not liltely that a better system could be suggested than that which had al ready occurred. Mr. BARING did not mean to bring a charge against any individuals. He thought, however, that the general system of the Commissariat shoujd be examined before a Committee of that Rouse; and be should, at some future time, move for such Com suittee. Mr. TIERNEY could see no ground for coming to so large a vote at present, unless the Right Ho nourable Gentleman thought, that as the House bad just voted 21 millions, they were now is ivied for voting six millions more. As a great part of this, however, was for past services, be thought the ac count should be presented, before the House was called on to vote so large a sum. The CHANCELLOR. of the VCCHEQUER said, that the House had not voted 21 millions, but four millions. He had no objection, however, to take three millions now on account of the Mir =Mardi varies, and tit postpone the other three millions until the account was presented. The Resolution was then put for grating three millions on account of army estraordittatiee, and the Report was order ed to be received tomorrow. The second reading of the Assessed Taxes Bill was postp ned till Monday week. Tice other orders et the day were then disposed of. Adjourned. THE EVENING STAR.

Tischequesldis Sa. to is. psv.th. A Gentleman who left Pails on Friday., the date of the last Papers, informs us that every thing is as •tranquil there as if nothing had occurred to threaten a new war—only a little bustle with military reviews as was always the case under BONAPARTE. In con fortuity with the system to which -we yesterday al luded, freedorq of conversation is allowed to be in dulged in, in public assemblies, as mash as in Eng. land, and oar countrymen are allowed to pass and repass without the least molestation. The deception of the expected arrival of the•EMPRESS from Vienna is still kept up, and the Thuilleries are daily crowded with people expecting to witness hetrentialtee, NAP&RTS has only shewn himself twice in public since his arrival : he was attended 14y a great number of military Officers. lie rises at four o'clock every morning, and attends to business closely till late at night. Though the Nets say nothing of military preparations, the different war departments are all known t • be very busy—Belgium is looked to as the first probable scene of conflict, and to that quarter the principal bodies of military which pass through Pari•.!nest their march. N nwiilistatiding th,!- occupation of Bourdeaux by NaeuLeos's troops, the communication between that c: ; and Parisi known : be much interrupted by 'parties of royalists, who st. p the Cprers, and take their dispatches. The Parisians are aware that the Allie; are colle,...ing large armies; and are in momen tary expectation of a large demand for money, but they take matters very lightly. Private kite's from Paris state, that the Duchess Dowager of ORLEANS and the Duchess of BOURBON remain Ai Paris, and Bou.‘emtra,has settled on them pensions for life of 300,000 livres per annum ; that letters had been received by BONAPARTE from the Emeness on Thursday last, in which she speaks of the obstacles that were set to her return, but which she was resolved overcome. It is also reported at Paris thatTALLewaAND has made his - peace with Na.- roteoN, and that the latter is in poss9sion of all the Notes and Minutes of ail the Ministers at the Congress. The present is cetiainly a most singular crisis. When any great rt volution takes place in the affairs of Nations, we naturally recollect some event simi lar to it in history ;—but history does not furnish a parallel, nor any thing resembling the revolu tion in the French Government that has lately astonished and now fixes the ansimir, concern of the worlds it is a spectacle entirely new. Europe, combined in arias ! , drives the Llitprper from the throve of France, stnd restores the ancient line of 4 19 . hereditary Monarchs; the Confederates retire; the dethroned and exiled adventurer, aq alien, re- appears on the French territory, proceeds amidst the' population and armies of France, that had just" sworn allegiance to Louis XVIII. to Paris, seats himself in the royal palace of the Thuilleries, and resumes, without the smallest resistance, the reins of Govci nment.—The Parisians, who had so recently rent the sky with cries of Five k Roi, and ezecra• dons of the Tyrant, join unanimously, at least amine contradicente, in the cry of Five le Biqa/reser I.—The descendants of LouisXll. and HENRY IV. the rival of the virtues, though not of the talents of these great Monarchs, is obliged again to quit the Kingdom. The character given by JULIUS CESAR of the Gauls, has often—uniformly indeed and always been, recognized in the modern French. The Franks were Germans ingrafted on the Gauls ; but the na' cure of the original crab seems still to predominate. CESAR tells us that they were very fond of novelty, fickle, and prodigiously addicted to cabals and factions. FREDERICK the Great of Prussia says of the French nation, that they have quick parts, but that they do not think in a train, and that they are the most i m methodical, inconsistent, and desultory people in Europe. Such, he says, they appear throughout the whole of their history, “ elle a kareartt d'espries ai point de mite dam la idea s " Ste. Stc. The reign of democracy, or rdther vulgarity, and jacobinism in France was speedily marked by an ex. change of French gallantry and politeness, for gross sensuality and a ferocious and undisguised selfishness. They are at. present the most corrupt people in the world ; without any regard to oaths, or even, what was too often considered under the Monarchy as MOM sacred, honour—yet it is not to be forgotten, nor passed by without due notice, that many of the French, chiefly among the Noblesse and Clergy, have displayed, in the depths of adversity and under the severest trials, the highest degree of virtue—sym. pathy with their fellow-men, fidelity to the King, ani a regard to their own dignity and honour. But it must be owned that this pure stream is but as a drop in the bucket, when compared to the putrid and fetid mass of the French nation. Yet, perhaps, the apathy with which the French Go. vernment witnessed the distress and the retreat of the Royal Family, ought not to be considettd as any great discouragement to ari effort for restoring them. It they were not Willing to take up arms for the Kra°, they will, beyond a doubt, be as unwilling to take up arms against him. The truth is, that the mass of the nation wish for nothing so much as tranquillity : a fixed, stable, and undisturbed go. vernment of any kind.—lt is with the Army of Bo- NAPARTIE alone that the Allies, if they go to sea.eilli have to contend.—The voice of the Nation, though only a small still voice, like that of Conscience, it may be presumed, is for the BOURBONS. bit, in truth, the favour or disfavour of so degenerate and base a people, ready to kiss the rod of every Con queror, is of no manner of consequence. The best feelings of human nature call loudly for vengeance on BONAPARTE and his banditti ; but, on 1 1 reflection, many will pause respecting the policy of plunging afresh into war, without trying the effect of a ncgociation for peace. BONAPARTE says he is willing to. abide by the Treaty of Paris : but, it is said, bow long will he abide by it ? Only till he has bad time to prepare for war. Be it so, peace is as good .for the Allies, while it lasts, as for him. They will have an eye on his movements, and if he prepares for war, they also can prepare—they will strengthen their f ro ntier—and the new King of the Netherlands, in particular, will have time to establish himself in his new dominions, Jot it be recollected, that with the troops BoNaraavz already has at his command, he can soon organize an army to any numbers.— What be is most in want of is officers and draught horses. He will make officers, no doubt, of some of the veteran soldiers among his returned prisoners : and be has sent orders to all the Prefects to give Committions to ascertain the number of young men in their respective departments, such as they shall, think most proper. He will have them instructed, speedily, in military tactics ; and if the tihr be continued beyond one campaign, they will acquire skill by experience. Let us not shut our eyes against the truth; that succesa in war depends more on the genius of the Commander of an army, than on numbers, valour, money, or any other circumstance: It is to be con sidered maturely whether it has yet been fully proved that the Confederates have a General so able and so fertile in resources as BONAPARTE ? Ills exertions and even his skill in his last, were never surpassed, perhaps not equalled, in any of his most fortunate campaigns. He had succeeded in his plan for cutting off the Allies from their magazines on the Rhine..... The easy reduction of Paris was owing partly to accidents—to contingencies not foreseen by the Cow federates. If BONAPARTE be wise he will do well, to weigh the powers of our General in as fair and .equal a ba lance as we have now weighed his; an 4 if he does he , will hesitate to urge a contest, should the other Powers after due deliberation manifest a disposition to preset ve peace ; for he must be tensible that though no one of the Commanders of the Allies has been placed in the same circunutaneel as himself, some of them have manifested powers mul qualities which leave to him no right to coscrtxtle that they will nit .e found equal to any cirfamitances in which 11)4 can b; placed. He will !weft be ihie tp questio L , . , • • • • • • tho abilities of a WitunforoW, s Booms, or s SouvrnaTzensasto. There is yet another consideration which will have great befluence over the deliberations of every Court in Europe. Where is the money to be found which will be required to carry on a new war ?—but on this we cannot enter at present. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

In another column we have given a letter ad dressed by Lord CASTLEREAGH to the Prince d'Haa- DENISERG—.the document referred to by Mr. WHIT BREAD in the House of Commons last night. The original was in English, which was afterwards trans lated into French : the copy we have given is a re translation from the latter. On Sunday, the 9th instant, died, in Church-street, Soho, Mrs. MARY CORK, wife of EpMUND CORE, E.g. of Hythe, Kent. In the marriage settlement of Major VEREKER with his Lady, Miss O'Gttany, the daughter of the Carter BARON of Ireland, there was a proviso, to indemnify him against the damages awarded by the Jury, for his breach of promise of marriage with Miss AUSTIN. The Carolina Asam arrived on Saturday at Liver pool, from New York, which place she left the 15th March. _ _ . Mr. MONROE was to leave his late situation as Acting Secretary at War, and resume his station as Secretary of State on the 11th March: Mr. Dm.i.es was to succeed him as Acting Sccre tary at War, in the absence of Mr. Canwrotto, Ame rican Minister at Paris, who has been appointed to the War Department. It is said that a Board of Officers, consisting of three, to be selected from the army, will 4)e appointed to assist Mr. DALLAS. The frigate Guerriere, Commodore RODGERS:Was expected from the Delaware to join the squadron as sembling at New York, for an expedition against Al giers. It was understood that this expedition would be augmented to two seventy-four's, six frigates, and several smaller vessels. The New-York Price Current of the 13th tfm gives the following Commercial Notice : “ The Congress has passed an, Act to repeal so much of the Actsimposing duties nn the tonnage of vessels, and on goods imported into the United States, as imposes a discriminating duty on tonnage between foreign vessels and vessels of the United States, and between goods imported into the United States in fo reign vessels and cif the United States." This duty was ten per cent. on the same amount of tonnage; but the vessels belonging only to such coun tries as shall make a similar concession to American commerce, will have the benefit of the measure. One Day over, and all the Riches remain in the Wheel : no less than Three Prizes of £30,000, and Three Prizes of 1,00(1 Guineas, may be gained next 4attirday, 15th April. The 1,000 Guinea Prizes must be drawn, and the- a1Z30,000 Prizes may all he drawn; as somebody must have them, every body should try for them, the odds being very great that a similar opportunity never will offer again.

The following is en extract from our Correspondent's letter on this subject : " OSTEND, APRIL a. le A great bustle among the military prevails here.. Within these few days 10,000 excellent British troops, of all arms, have been landed. They were marched almost without halting, in the direction of Ghent and Brussels. People here appear to know much les s about what is going forward than is known in everi alehouse in Great Britain. The Duke of WELLIKG. TON is at Brussalls, upon which place and Ghent :ill the troops are concentrating. From all that I cat% learn, no reliance whatever can be placed on rrrly of the French who have followed Lows XVIII. Paris. I lately fell into conversation with one of these gentry, and on asking what llorraeuvrt: w_. about now ? he said, that he had once mere go: r ,, Paris, and he did not know but he might t-ein and pay his respects to him a fine fellow, a Seer.„,,t of the Guards, who was presentond overheard wl.at passed, immediately, with th'at instinctive indignat'or. at dishonesty, which is the characteristic of the: Lett. lish, took up his halbert and knocked the I': erch ni creant down, telling him to take that from Joh; BA, and adding, that he hoped to spit a d ,ren et sue.: ,turncoats before a month was over !"
