Thus the whole amount of the annuities created is 16 millions, nine of which' will never be in emission, and the rest will only be successively issued in the course of 1816. There is one circumstance which is calculated to vir:xluce a very advantageous effect on our finances, namely, the establishment of our Sinking Fond upon new bases, which, by rendering it quite independent, and securing for it special revenues, will give it a di rect influence in the improvement of the public funds. It appears certain that the new organization of the 5. aking Fund will form a part of the Budget. The resources of France are so great, that we have t to fear any thing resembling paper-money.

We last evening had such a severe and painful con fusion at our harbom's mouth as we have rarely wit nessed, owing to several vessels making for the har bour before there was water in—it seems they were induced so to do as it was finning dark, with every appearance of an increasing gale. The consequence was, they lay knocking about at the entrance of she harbour in a most destructive way, till the flowing of the tide enabled them to pet safely moored. Nine Dover vessels, hired on treight, with troops from Calais, were of the number ; say the Dart, with los; of mast; Peggy, Ant, Poll, and Industry, main-stay gone; Lady Jane, loss of gaff and bowsprit, and sides much damaged; Countess of Elgin, lost boom, and stern stove in ; Elizabeth, sides very much damaged ; and Princess Augusta, with loss of gat; and stern stove in—these freight vessels had about 1100 men en board, belonging to the Cosh, :;:ith, and 41st Regi ments of moat, and fifty horses of the InniskiPing Dragoons, several of which had perNied on t!le p.ts :.age, and others were much maimed, as the vessels were not fitted up in a proper stay to receive them oa • board, which has been the case with almost all the **seek landing hor , es lose lately. Two soldiers were unhappily drowned, and one crushed to death bet.yeett a vessel and the pier, entirely owing to ths:;r i.npa tience to get up the w:st head, unda an rd• that they were in danger on board, as they lay at the har bour's ntouth, and other vessels coming in at the stern of thew; but tf-no danger was cuapiiratively none, it the poor fellows could only have been ptr studed to it. although the si,..ht was certainly awful. 1 f alf the men were lauded last night, and the others this morning. They hare been matched ofi; to Dover, Deal. Canterbury, and Margate. The Duke and Duchess of Mowrnose left town 1 yesterday, on a visit to the Marvis and Marchioness CAMDEN, at their seat the Wilderness, Kent. The Islatquis and Nlarchioness Castor:` are enter. t lining a large party of I:ishionables„dming the HO- I days, at their scat the Wilderness, Kent. Lord ASMERST and suite are expected to leave town next week fur Portsmouth, to embark for aina. The Hon. Mr. BRAND, M. P. for Hertfordshire, has several estates at High Easter, in Essex, and in its vicinity, the rents upon . which have been about 20 shillings per acre; this gentleman has made an allowance to his tenants of 20 per cent. thereby re ducing the land to about 16s. per acre. Extract of a letter from Pais, dated Dee. 22t— " LAVALETTE'S escape engrosses all the conversa. tion. As might be expected, the general rumour is, that it was effected with the ter:iv:me: of Gt.:lemming ; but as there is no moving a step wit!qout passports, time may remove suspicion. Immediately the escape became known, which circulated rapidly from the circumstance of the barriers being shut, and no one allowed to pass without the strictest scrutiny, Paris was in the greatest surprise ; and from these precau. tinns it was rather absurdly concluded that the crimi nal was known to be still withia the city. The mi litary before complained of the delay, that took place in executing the sentence of the law upon LAVA. LETTE, but they are now more dissatisfied t they say, that civil officers are to sin with impunity, but that the soldiery, who are called upon to obey the cora. mands of Government, are alone to be punished— that the military alone are to be degraded. It is believed that our tionps call not quit Paris so soon as was expected, perhaps not this month. " The South of France is not yet tranquil. At Alais, in the department of the Gard, it was wisked to destroy the temple of the Protestants, but this act of 'fury was prevented from being carried into execu tion. The Protestants, however, have been obliged to shut up their Temple, and to renounce their war. chip for some time. 'l'be Prefect of the department of the Vaucluse repaired on the sth of this month to Carpentras, for the purpose of setting at liberty a number of persons in custody on accouia of opinions. On his return to Avignon. the people testified their discontent. The Prefect ordered one of the instiga tors to be arrested, but this give rise to an insartee., tion, in which he was in the greatest danger.

Cosnio. Cliallapata, and Oruro, and his troops amount to 5,000. His position, consequently. is about 30 leagues north-west of Potosi. The Buenos Ayres army under RouPEAtt, occupying principally the latter place, amount to 6,000, independent of tne auxiliaries, with which he rr.ight unite as many as 14,000, but a great proportion would be without fire arms.
