We mentioned yesterday the arrival of private let ters from Paris, stating that the French Funds had fallen about four per cent. The intelligence is, to a certain extent, confirmed by the Paris Papers of Sa turday, received to day, from which it appears, that Friday they had at one time sunk so low as 71 fr. I c. (not 70fr. 60c. as stated in the private accounts), and left off at 71 fr. 80c. We learn from further ivate accoants, that on Saturday the reaction con tinued, and that before the express left Paris, the ice was up again to seventy-two francs. The following is the best account we have been .)la to obtain of these fluctuations, and the causes that prodacedvhdm :—The Governors of the Bank f Paris, in order to put a stop to the great drainage specie that was going on, particularly to Russia, ave for sane time past been effecting a gradual di minution of their discounts, both by refusing a greater proportion of the bills offered to them, and by li. miring the period of the bills themselves. It was their custom to admit bills at three months' date, affording . that respect more complete accommodation than the Bank of England, who will not discount for more than sixty-five days; but about a fortnight ago they sued an order that bills exceeding sixty days would not be taken. On Friday last a further limitation to forty-five days took place, and was followed by so great a panic in their money market, that a fall to the extent above stated almost instantly took place, the price of the new loan declining from 74. to 71fr. 25c. The small re-action which has since taken place, is said to have arisen from the Banks having partaken :the alarm, and afraid of the consequences, having issued a second notice to countermand the first, again fixing the term for discounts at 60 days. This con cession, it was supposed, however, would not pro duce the effect of restoring the funds to their former. ;vel ; because the Bank, according to the prevailing opinion, were likely to persevere in the original de ign of restricting the money-accommodations to the public, not by limiting the number of days, but by ejecting altogether the greater part of the bills )ffered them. Other reports in circulation are, that a run on the Lunds had been excited by the French capitalists, out df hostility to Messrs. BARING ; that the sales made , y foreigners about to quit France had been unu sually large ; and that many of the principal specu lators (Saturday being settling day) were unable to !ulfil their engagements. The affair, whatever may be the true cause, has excited much interest, and taused much discussion. A Dutch Mail arrived this morning, with Papers to the Ist instant. A number of National Domains, situated in the Southern Provinces of the Netherlands, ate shortly yo be put up to sale, according to a Royal Decree of the 26th of April, 1817. The KING of the NETHERLANDS has, we are told, resolved to have undertaken, at his own expense, and for the public good, the construction of a Canal from the Nieu Diepe, near the Holden, in North Hol land, to Baickstool, near Amsterdam. The _Canal will be about 13 leagues in length, and the new communication from the Zuider-Zee with the Y, which washes the walls of Amsterdam, will be in fts consequences of the highest importance to the trade of, that city, and of the whole kingdom. The Duke of WELLINGTON is stated to have ar il% ad at Aix.la-Cbaßelle, on the 28th ult. Prince BxuenEtt, we regret to learn, has experien ced a new attack of indisposition. The documents relative to the affair of Colonel MitssF.Ntaacti, have been sent to his Majesty's Coun cil of State for its decision, it being to assemble im mediately after the return of the KING. We have received to-day some intermediate num bers, which were wanting, in the series of American Papers which came to hand yesterday It appears from them, that as late as the '29th of August, the PRESIDENT had not returned to Washington ; and that very few Members of the Cabinet were at the seat of Government. The strong sensation produced at firt.t by the refusal of the National Bank at Phila delphia to receive the notes of the Branch Banks, had considerably subsided, but the price of Bank shares continued at the last quotation, being 125, and making a decline within two or three months of 15 per cent. —The Washington Papers mention, that the number of applications for pensions, under the late Act of Congress, for rewarding revolutionary services, was so great, that official notice had been given, by the proper Authorities, that it would be impossible to comply with them at present, until the claims were more particularly investigated. Some delay had arisen in order to supply from the records of the va rious cities certain documents which were destroyed when the War Office was burned in 1801. There had been little or no fluctuation in the American 6 per cents. which continued at 102i.—Some further ex tracts, on other topics, will be found in a preceding part of our Paper. THE Q UEEN. " Kew, Monday Night. " Last night, the QUEEN suffered much from her cough, accompanied by difficulty of respiration, with considerable fever and restlessness; and notwith standing repeated applications of the warm bath, the symptoms did not relax, but iu a very trifling degree, till towards this morning. " In consequence of these unfavourable appear ances, the PRINCE REGENT remained with the Prin cesses till half-paSt twelve o'clock, when the Physi cians having reported some little amelioration in the sufferings of her MAJESTY, his Royal Highness took an affectionate leave of his illustrious but afflicted sisters, and set out on his return to Carlton-House. Shortly after the departure of his Royal Ilighnest, the PRINCESSES retired ; but the Physicians were both in close attendance the whole of the night. " Soon after ten o'clock this morning, the Duke of YORK arrived from Oatlands, and remained with the PRINCESSES in the drawing-room upwards of an hour, and then his Royal Highness went on to Town. 44 The PRINCESSES have walked out but little to day, nor have they received any of the numerous in after the health of their august parent. Their Royal, Highnesses, indeed, manifest the deepest anxiety at her alarming, and, we fear, hopeless situa tion.—The PRINCE REGENT has not paid his usual visit to the PRINCESSES to-night. -A courier arrived at the Palace about half-past five o'clock, with letters from his Royal Highness ; and the evening report of the Physician. was returned by the messenger to the PRINCE." The following Bulletin was issued this day : Kew Palace, November 3. The QUEEN has had several hours sleep in the night, but her MAJESTY has not experienced any abatement of her disease. (Signed) ,F. MILLMAN, H. lIALPC/liD: Yesterday the Duke of YORK transacted military business with the PaiNcE ItEnENT at Carlton House. The Duke of DEVONSHIRE, accompanied by the Hon. CHARLES CAVENDISH, left Devonshire House yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, for Paris. The Duke and Duchess Of LEEDS have left Paris for Brussels. The Earl and Countess of LIVERPOOL and family are expected in town the latter end of this week, from Walmer Castle. The llon. Mrs. GAGE entertained Captain and Lady BARBARA CRAWFORD, and a select party, yesterday, at her residence in Dover-street. COVENT-GAHDEN.—Last night the Play of The Point of honour was performed at this Theatre.— Miss O'NEILL sustained the part of Bertha with her accustomed ability. The piece, on the whole, went off extremely well. The laughable Farce of The Spoild child followed, in which Mrs. T. HILL ap peared for the first time as Little Pickle. She played with spirit and was well received. Dnuitv-LANE.—After the play of Richard the Third, the musical piece of The Poor Soldier was performed at this Theatre. The veteran MuNDEN resumed his old character of Darby. The greetings which he repeatedly received from the audience proved, that though he has grown old in the service of the Theatre, his exertions are by no means useless or unprofitable to the Treasury ; we have seldom, if ever, seen him play in better spirits. The following awful circumstance occurred last night in Drury-lane Theatre;—Towards the close of the Tragedy of Richard the Third, a well-dressed man fell from his seat in the Pit. At first it was ima gined he was intoxicated; but, on raising him, he appeared to have suffered from a sudden fit. Several medical gentlemen who were in the boxes hastened to his relief; but, before they arrived the spark of life had fled. On searching his pockets, several papers were found, with his address, " Mr. Macarty, Bull Inn, liishopsgate." The body was removed to the Rose and Crown public-house, preparatory to the sit ting of the Coroner's Inquest. Miss O'NElLt's remuneration for her late fort night's exertions in Liverpool was 1,09;1.; and the ,profits of her three visits to that place, amount col lectively to little short of 5,000/.! ! KEAN performed Orestes, in the Distreet Mother, on Friday evening, at the Richmond Theatre, for the benefit of his old friend CUNNINGHAM. GORING CASTLE, WORTH' so.—The Dowager Mar chioness of LANSDOWNE has concluded a curious treaty with the descendants of Sir llyscna Sli This magnificent pile, upon which £60,000 has been expended within the last ten years, has been let to her Ladyship at a rental of twentypounds for 21 years; it is upon a repairing lease. Friday night a large quantity of lead was ripped from the out-houses on the premises of JOHN TUR NER, Esq. at Putney, and carried off by some robber , . Sunday night the house of Mr. STEWARD, pawn broker, at Putney, ssas broke open and robbed of twelve watches, and a great number of gold rings, pins, and brooches. SIR SAMUEL RO4ILLY. Melancholy is the duty which is this day imposed upoO us of communicating to the public an event which will fill with sorrow every part not only of thi , kingdom, but of the enlightened world, wh .t just reverence for the cause of civil and religious liberty rendered its most distinguished Advocate dear to the hearts of the liberal and humane. Sir SAMUEL Ito- MILLE, distracted by the death of his most amiable and beloved wife, has sunk under the severe visita tion of PROVIDENCE. The feelings of Sir &muses friends on so afflicting an occasion have for a while prompted them to stop all the avenues of inquiry, so that we have at present but few of the particulars to communicate beyond the fact of his death, and the manner of it. It is already known that Lady Ro mtlxv died on Thursday, at the house of Mr. NASU, in the Isle of Wight, after an illness of nearly twelve months, during which, however, there were intervals of convalescence. Sir SAMUEt had suffered the most heart-rending agitation for some weeks, during which he was without the refreshment of natural sleep, when all the delu sive hopes he had entertained of her recovery were withdrawn, by the visible approaches of the fatal moment. The agony of his sufferings occasioned the most alarming apprehensions to his friends ; and his nephew, Dr. ROGET, the Rev. Mr. Dumos: - r, and Mrs. NASH, as well as his own family, attended him with the most anxious solicitude. The event was not ' communicated to him till Friday morning, and it was thought proper to remove him from the scene the same day. He was brought to London by easy journies, where he arrived on Saturday. His fever was most excruciating—but he manifested the most exemplary fortitude to conquer the despair which assailed him. "My head," he exclaimed, "is a fur nace—l feel the violence of my disease—l may sink under it—my excellent nephew is exhausted—pray call to his aid Dr. MARCET." Both Dr. MARCET and Dr. BAaTNCTON did attend him, and in the course of Sunday and of Sunday night a favourable perspiration gave the Physicians hopes that fever would abate. But, alas! in a paroxysm he desired his amiable daughter, who had been left in the room with him, to call Dr. RoGEr, and on her departure, it appears, that he suddenly quitted his bed, and in the delirium of his grief put an end to his existence. In one minute Dr. Boner entered, and found him weltering in his blood-!. Ile was in his sixtieth year. Deeply do we regret that a life which was so use. ful to his fellow-creatures and his countrymen should have been terminated by an act which is calculated above all others to excite their horror. Distressing is it to think that so great a man should have been; exemplary in every thing but his death ; and that whilst in the ordinary dispensations of PROVIDENCE it is more blessed " to give than to receive ;" whilst, I in the common course of human action, the exertions of benevolence reflect a purer satisfaction on those who make, than on those who are benefited by them ; --another instance has occurred wherein the con sciousness of the sincerest patriotism; and of the most ardent love of mankind, has not been able to secure its possessor against the power of despair, under one of the common calamities of life. Sir SAMUEL ROSIILLY united in himself an assem blage of qualities rare and valuable in their separate existence, but in their combined splendour calculated to astonish by their variety, and to delight and im prove by their harmony and utility. Deeply versed in the laws of his country, and long engaged in the laborious exercise of their profession, he yet escaped from the technical trammels which the practice of the Bar is generally (perhaps unjustly) supposed to create. To that practice he brought a mind richly stored with the varied charms of extensive literature; a persuasive eloquence, distinguished by elegance of language and chastity of ornament—a dignified im pressive manner, where the disputant was never seen to overcome the accomplished gentleman. In the House of Commons, he ever appeared as the disin terested advocate of universal charity. His political views were generous, manly, and extensive—too con sistent to be the result of party feeling, and too in dependent not to be cavilled at by the minions of 'power. But the proud simplicity of his character was such, that even those who were systematically opposed to him, could nut withhold from him their esteem and veneration. lie must have been a most indefatigable labourer, and, we believe, there are many who, not being inflamed by the spark of am bition, would look upon his sir ealth and honours ab dearly purchased by the sacrifices of health and or dinary enjoyments which he made to obtain them.— We hove found him in the Court of Chancery be tween nine and ten o'clock ; there he has remained until four. We have again seen him at five o'clock in his place in the House of Commons ; have heard him, after a laborious day's occupation in Chancery; speak with force and eloquence to an attentive ad miring House ; and on interesting questions he al ways waited the division, no matter at what hour it might take place in the morning. He was always well prepared on every subject, whether in the Courts or the Legislature ; and when it is 'considered that his business far exceeded that of any other man at • the Bar, we may form some faint idea of the inten sity of his private studies. The City of Westminster. showed how •Lighly it estimated his character, for amidst this great population, divided by patty feel. i ngs , by private and public interests, a n d the violence of a contested election, th e jultt ot SA NI CEL ROMILLY stood so free from excepti„.„?.4 every class of persons felt proud of having hi t :al Reeresentative.

I am happy to learn, by a letter received morning from Burnley, that the coarse. cr Spinners, who tamed out there some short tizte., and evinced so refractory a spirit, hive returned their work, and are now actively and peacealel; suing their avocation, at the old prices. Hop expressed in the letter, that the misguided men were taken into custody at the time of the riot , who are now in Lancaster Castle, awaiting trial, will not be proceeded against rigour having expressed their contrition, and stmg cession having been made for them. 1 yesterday saw one of the principals ir re,pec able manufacturing house at Preston, and :fr. to learn that they have been under the nem making another, though a trifling redaction wages of the Weavers, on account of the du]: the trade.
