On the motion of Mr. MABERLEY, Accounts were ordered to be laid before the House of the Amount of last year's Revenue, and the deficiencies in the - Consolidated Fund. He said the latter was in a most unprecedented way in arrears, so much as ten or eleven millions. He should call the attention of Parliament to this subject, if he should have a seat in 1 1 the next Parliament- The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, the Hon: Gentleman was misinformed. The Conso lidated Fund was only in arrears eight millions, and' that had been partly made up. Mr. MABERLEY said, it was in arrear eight mil- lions, in addition to three millions allowed to the Bank.—The motion was then agreed to. The Report of the Penrhyn Bribery Bill was ordered to be recelTed this day three months, and the Court of Exchequer Bill this day fUrtnight.

A variety of interesting topics came, in rapid suc cession, before the House of Commons last night : the provision for the QUEEN; Lord JOHN RussELL's 1 Bill for continuing the Suspension of the Elective Franchise in the Boroughs of Barnstaple, Camel ford, Grampound, and Penrbyn; and the state of the Revenue. The part which had reference to her' MAJESTY will be read with peculiar interest. The observations made in the House of Commons last night, by Mr. MABERLEY, respecting the defi ciency in the Consolidated Fund, has had the effect of casting a heavy gloom upon our Funds. This morning Consols opened at 68 1 4 sh, and the Market looks exceeding. heavy at that price. Several re spectable Brokers have sold largely. The Palk Papers of Saturday arrived this morn ing. If credit may be given to the following Post script to The Gazette de France, dated at eleven o'clock on Friday night, M. Da Cnzz, yielding to the storm of calumny which has been raised against him on the occasion of the late tragic occurrence, has retired from the post of Prime Minister: " PARIS, ELEVEN P.M. " It appears certain, that Count De Caze is ne longer Minister. This morning he sent in his re signation to his Majesty, which was accepted. The Presidency of the Ministry hangs between Prince Talleyrand and the Duke de Richelieu. Probably the new Administration will be formed in the course of to-morrow. " Count De Cake was to-night seriously indisposed. " The circumstznces in which we are placed are momentous, but the people are sound ; they are wea ried of revolutimns ; the men of property are united in a conformity of sentiments, views, and efforts.— The state of necessity in which the Monarchy is placed, points out the line which Government must follow. We may beforehand feel well assured that this line v ili not be exceeded ; the wisdom of the in dividuals mentioned is a guarantee of this, as well as the royal interest, which is nothing but the interest of all." This intelligence will, in all probability we think, prove to be correct. Had M. DEcAss survived the present crisis, we might have said of him, like Richard of Lady Anne, " he is immortal !" The abuse which has been heaped upon him from all quarters, on the present occasion, exceeds anything we ever witnessed before in party politics, for ran cour and malignity. Take, for example, a few spe cimens from the Papers received •this morning : " Public opinion has not hesitated a single instant as to the causes of the crime which has struck the Bole world with consternation. The moment the Royal breast was touched by the assassin's poig nard, a spontaneous cry named the Revolution, and another cry associated, as guilty of complicity in the :attempt, the accessary system of regicide interests. —A terrible responsibility has fallen, like a stroke of ' thunder, on the head of the Prime Minister; all . Franca turns towards N. DecazE, and demands, with a loud voice, " Where is the Duke de Berri?" He cannot answer like CAIN—" Am I his kceperl" " The corpse of a Prince," says the celebrated CHA• TEAUERIAND, in an article which he has inserted in another paper, and ieferring, undisguisedly to M. .DE CAZE, " may terve as a step to mount to power; but it will be a power of-short duration—witness 110- KAPARTI, who made the body of theDuk d'Esou It NI the stepping stone of his greatness." " A Dictator may be necessary," says a third Journal, " to save a country when in imminent peril; it was once so in Rome; but then they gave the Dictatorsh; p to a Cicero, not to a Catiline." It is not enough to be innocent to stand against such grave charges its - these ; the dig nity of the King's Ministry obviously required, or if the resignation has not, as stated," yet taken place, does require, that M. DECAZE should retire, for a season at least, from a post, his longer' retention of which, under existing circumstances, could not fail to . compromise those interests which he was placed there, and we sincerely believe had a most sincere desire to maintain. It is with Ministers as with Czsar"s wife—it is not enough that they are not guilty —it is necessary that they should not be sugpected. Nothing ; after all, can be more inconsequent than the manner in which M. DE CAZE'S complicity in the assassination of the Duke de BERRI is attempted to be made out by the. Journals who so audaciously fulminate the charge. " The system," says the Gil lette de France, " of M. DE CAZE has favourtd the doctrines which have killed the Duke de BERRI r'- It is an easy thing to say se, and the more easy that it is impossible to prove anything of the kind. M. DE CAZE may. as well retort the charge on the sys tem of his adversaries, and as to the matter of truth between them, there.will be a complete quid pro quo. How lamentable must the state of political feeling be, how troubled the prospective which opens upon France, when parties must needs identify each other 'with every occurrence that is most atrocious, instead of uniting together with equal sincerity, and equal belief in each other's sincerity, to reprobate a crime 4hich is a disgrace to their common nature! tkr-Friday, the Marshals of France were admitted to an stadience of his MAJESTY, when the Marquis de Contziosaallo (Mot citi) presented, in their name, an Address of Condolence to his MAJESTY, assuring him, that " there is not one of his soldiers whuse soul is not torn with anguish at the late horrible attempt, and who would not shed the last drop of his blood for the defence of the Thi one." The Bitty replied, I am very sensible of the interest which the Mar shals of France take in my just affliction. The indi vidual whom we mourn was a brave man, and de serves to be regretted by all the brave." A woman'has been arrested, who is said to have been the mistress of Louvel. Among the circum stances which have transpired respecting the latter, it is said, that when he was first under examination, M. DE CAM/ whispered something in his ear, and that the assassin answered the Minister also in a whisper, but concluded with these words, loud enough to be heard—" Je vows le jure." The enemies of M. Da CAZE have not, of course, omitted making the most of this mysterious colloquy ; but unfortunately for their views, the Duke Ds FITZJAMES has come ho nourably forward, and explained that it was he who suggested to M. Ds Cam to ask the assassin, in a low tone (tout has), whether the poignard was poi soned—the Duke's death not having at that moment been announced as a matter of certainty by the phy sicians. The proceedings in the Chambers have not as yet been marked by anything further deserving of par ticular importance. The Duchess of BERRY remains in a state of deep, but resigned melancholy. French 5 per cents. Friday, 70 fr. 10 c. PRIVATE LETTER. " Puns, Fu. es. " On Tuesday, M. D'EQuEvir.LE, a superior Oifi cer in the Garde Royale, having been at the Tuilleries, and seen the melancholy state into which every thing there was thrown, had been unable to restrain his tears. On coming to the Table d'Hote, where he ge nerally dined, his tears were visible as he sat at table. Monsieur LECOINTRE, an Aide-de-Camp of MAR.. SENA. (mark the connexion !) who sat opposite, seeing this, took some water in a glass, and dipping his fingers in, applied it to his eyes in. derision. Upon this, M. D'EQUEVILLE said, " There is not enough," and threw a glass of water in his face. They fought in consequence yesterday morning, and M. LECOIN• TEE was shot through the heart. " A Noble Duke (DE Frrz-JAMIE,) in the Cham her of Peers, in speaking of this deplorable event, alluded to the letter lately published by CAULAIN- , COURT, and said, that that production had probably tended to sharpen the purpose, if not the dagger of the assassin, and that if the author of that letter was of fended with alluding to what he had publicly distri buted in the Journals, he was ready to give a further explanation in thefosse oft . be Castle of Vincennes !— (The place where, through CAULAINCOLIRT ' S inter vention, the Duke D'ENoutEx was murdered). — The consequences have not yet transpired. There has been some riot among the Garda du Corps. They are quite enraged at this infernal murder. The day before yesterday, the Guards of Momnsuft were ordered to keep (every man) their quarters, in consequence of their having asserted, that they would go and quarrel with every Editor of a Jour nal who wrote against the Royal Family. Yester day the KING'S Guards said they would do the same with every Editor of the Revolutionary party." Letters received this morning from Paris, state, that Louvel, the assassin of the Duke of Berry; has committed suicide. It is reported that the wretch accomplished the deed by means of poison. AMERIC tN PAPERS. New York Papers arrived this morning to the 27th of January. CONGRESS-HOUSE OF REP RESENTAT IVES, JAN. 20.

" JAMES 11ONROF." FROM RIO JANEIRO.-Mr. Thomas Oliver, of Buenos Ayres, came passenger in the brig Robert, from Rio Janeiro oirrived in Hampton Roads on Sa turday). Mr. Oliver states, that he arrived at Rio from Buenos Ayres on the evening 'of the 28th No vember, and, on entering the port, saw a Russian squadron of five sail, which had just anchored. While at Rio, he learnt that a British squadron of four sail . of the. line, under command of Sir Thomas Hardy, had arrived at that port a weck before, and were still there. Mr. Oliver did not learn any particulars re lative to either of the squadrons, or their destination, as he only remained at Rio one night. LATB FROM Cllll.l.—Extract of a Letter from Santiago de Chili, dated 7th October :—" 'The squa dron of Chili, under command of Lord Cochrane, sailed from Valparaiso on the 11th ult. and after ' touching at Coquimbo to receive about 200 troops on board, departed from the coast, destined for Lima, having on board nearly a complete Regiment of Marines and Infantry, including engineers. It was manned with a mixed crew, but nearly all the Offi cers and more than half of the crew, were foreigners, chiefly English and American seamen. Their ob-. ject is to destroy the squadron at Callao, and after wards to meet that on its way from Spain, in case of success in the first object. Some military movements on a small scale may be attempted with the few troops on board. A grand military Expedition on Lima is meditated, and December or January en suing is spoken of as the time determined on to put it into execution." Yesterday the KING eceived visits from the Dukes of YORK and Sussex, the Duchess of GLOUCESTER, Prince LEOPILD,' and the Marchioness of CHOL MONDELEY. The Duke of YORK returned to London, from Oat lands, on Sunday evening. We are extremely happy to say, that the Report of the Duchess of Yottes health, yesterday, was—" Her Royal Highness is better." Yesterday morning, the Duke of CLatainics left town for Bushy Park. His Royal Highness returned to town in the evening to his residence in the King's Palace, St. James's, and accompanied his Duchess to dine with the Duke and Duchess of GLOSICESTRR, at Gloucester House. Prince LEOPOLD left Claremont on Sunday even ing for the King's Palace, at Kensington, on a visit to the Duchess of KENT; his Royal Highness after wards proceeded to Marlborough House, Pall-mall. Yesterday evening, his Royal Highness went to dine with his afflicted Sister, at Kensington Palace.. Letters Patent have passed the Great Seal, rein stating Messrs. FONELANQUE I Jaavls, and WE THERELL, who had Patents of Precedence, in their former rank, among his MAJESTY'S Counsel, within the Bar, which, owing to an omission in Mr. PON SONEY'S Act, they lost on the demise of his late MAJESTY. A very numerous and respectable Meeting of the Livery was yesterday held, at the Albion 'Tavern, Aldersgate-street, to consider of the best means for promoting the Election of Alderman Wool), J. YAL LOWLEY, Esq. in the Chair; when several Resolutions were unanimously agreed to ; for which see the fi:ant efour Paper. Te Observer of Sunday last contained twelve folio columns of the Particulars and Official Ceremonies which took place at the Funeral of his late MAJESTY, including upwards of 100 foci ipture Texts adopted on the occasion by the Divines at the Churches and Chapels in London and ifs environs; also a Prayer delivered by the Rev. Rabbi, Dr. HIRSCHEL, at the Great Synagogue in Duke's-Place. The Observer, price Seven-pence, will be on sale at the Offices in the Strand during this week. Letters of the 2d February, from Cadiz, have been received at Madrid by a Courier Efiraordinary, an nouncing that a party of the Insurgents had made a sortie on the preceding day from the Isle of Leon, and attacked a detachment of the Royalist Army under the command of LA CRUZ MOURGEON, but were repulsed with the loss of 300 men taken pri soners, and again retreated into the Isle of Leon, — The accounts from Cadiz direct are only of the Ist inst. and therefore could not contain any allusion to this affair, which, being related on Madrid authority, must be received with some caution. The Cadiz letters contain nothing more than a few hints on the state of the insurrection : one of them describes the In-: 1 :urgent troops as consisting of more than 10,000 men, and designates them as the flower cf the Spanish army. —On the other hand, Cadiz itself seems perfectly secure from attack, and in no other danger than that which may be apprehended from the disaffection of its inhabitants. CIENFURGOS, the Bishop of Cadiz, it is said, with the view, by his exhortations, of bringing over the troops to their duty, has been bold enough to venture his person among them. Ile was received by the Rebel Commanders with the defer ence due to his rank and sacred unctions, but was sent back to Cadiz without succeeding in any degree in the object of his mission. , THE ARMY. His MAJESTY has appointed General Sir SAMUEL Hot.sia, (late Lieutenant Governor) to the Govern ment of the Royal Hospital, Chelsea, vacant by the death of Sir DAVID DUNDAS. The KING has appointed Colonel PINE COFFIN, of the Royal Staff Corps, to succeed Major-General Sir G. Bmotrau, as a Brigadier General yn the Staff, at Si. Helena. The three Captains of the Bth Regiment. of Foot, who were lately dismissed the service, have, by order of the CCaItiANDER-IN-CHIEF, been directed to be placed on full-pay, several' circumstances having since appeared to warrant revoking the sentence. The First Battalion of the Coldstream Guards marched into Portsmouth on Saturday to take the duty of the Garrison. The Second Vetei an Battalion, which has been doing duty there during the absence of the Guards to attend his late NlAJzary's Fune ral, will return to-Gosport this week. NAVAL lAI E.LLIGENCE.

NASSAU, New PRAVIDIINCE, J !, U.% h T I 3.--Extract of a Let ter=" Accounts having been received at this place that a piratical schooner, with a Spanish felucca as her prize, was at ahchur at Green Key, (a small island in Bd. vicinity) the schooner l'rim rose, of this Port, was manned, armed, and mitt in pt.rsuit of her. This vessel succeeded in taking the felucca and schooner, but the men made their escape into the woods. The C..ptain of the Primrose not considering himself authorised to land his people in pursuit of them, returned to port. ills ajesty's schooner Sessnwr.t.i., Lieutenant l.; IA Kr, having in the mean, time arrived from Jamaica, proceeded irnmenitely to Green Key, in hopes of being able to secure these people; but on her arrival, it was found they had put to sea in their boats, which the Primrose very inconsiderately left behind on the beach. They are said to be twelve in number, and will no doubt, seize on the first vessel that comes in their way. Three men he hinging to this place have been taken up and put into jail on a charge of aidinik and abetting these people in their piracies. " JANUARY 15.—Since the above was wiirten, the whole .f the people belonging to the piratical vessel have betn taken en Andro's Island, where they landed in their boats, ar,d r-ported themselves as seamen belonging to an American 75‘ that had been cast away on the Bahama Bitek.-1-1a• .mg r b; ought . to this place to-day, they were soon idcupfied and lodge.: id jail." The following is an Extract of a Letter from St. Helena, dated the Ist of December ; by which it ap pears that a material contribution to the health and comfort of our gallant seamen has been contrived, which may render that station in future more palate able to them than it has been—" The Admiral has commenced a famous Convalescent Hospital at the Naval Farm, High Peak ; it is about 80 feet long, and 18 or 20 wide ; indeed, it is now nearly boarded up, and I suppose about Christmas will be ready to receive some of our weak subjects. It will be of the utmost consequence to the station hereafter,Us a ship's company coming here feels the climate very severely after being a few months born England. Our peo ple are now, I am happy to say, better than they have been at this season the two former years, and I trust will not have the attacks of the last. We hove now no more than 26 or 28 men sick in the whole squadron, which consists of upwards of 1,500 ; and the year before last we had at least cue hundred in the sick list." • The Anniversary Sermon for the heneßt of the Royal Humane Society, was preached at the New Church, St. Diary-la-Bonne, to a very nunlerues congregation, on Sunday morning last, the 15th lest. by the Rev. E. BARMY, D. D. Rector of St. Leonard, and St. 'Mary, Wallingford, Berks. The Rev. Doctor dwelt with peculiar force and elinineeee on the general objects of the Institution, and particularly on its suc cessful efforts in cases of ir.teuded suicide, many unfoi Unita persons, both male and female, having been restored, net on:y to life, but to peace of mind, who, in a moment of desperati on , had attempted to rush unprepared into the presence of their Goa. He observed, that the Society's purposes were alike in teresting to the rich, to the poor, to sm., of whatever deocrii titan or class of mankind, inasmuch as, in the dispensations of that PROVID/NCE with whoth are the issues of life and death, it might happen that some near relative or friend of any one who heard him, might become the subject of the exertions which this Society sought to elicit, encourage, and reward; for no ere of sudden or apparent death was incompatible with its objects, whether from apoplexy, drowning, suffocation, noxious ai s, suspension by the cord, lightning, cc the desperate attev,pt of a suicide. By the exertions of the Royal Hurna.ne Society, thou sands, the subjects of these various farms of apparent death, Lad been rescued, who must otherwise have perished, and to sellouts the Society presents a Bible, and also suitable rcligicus book.. The Rev. Doctor paid a just tribute to the nitmory of the Founders of Ole Society, and especially acknowledged, in some eloquent allusions to :he character and virtues of our late veoe table and beloved Sovereign, the invaluable patronage whsh. bn so long extended over this Ins:in:dor.
