A great difference of opinion prevails among monied men respecting the issue, and large bets have been made that the amount will not be subscribed-- but the general feeling is certainly in favour of Mi nisters. Consols and 11lies, in this state of suspense, look bright, the former being done at 70%14 for the Account, and the latter are at 100,1 1 1 h ; Exchequer Bills are also 10s. prem. But there is one mys terious circumstance that requires explanation— a number of new Exchequer Bills, for the last week, have been pouring into the Market ; and, con sequently, the Funding System will afford no relief. For the approaching Loan, several new Lists are forming ; and the anxiety to buy up Exchequer Bills, has created a temporary -scarcity of money. The Banking Houses in Cork which have stopped payment, are those of Messrs. Itocnr and Messrs. Lague. The event has thrown the whole of the South of Ireland into the utmost consternation. We are happy to find, however, that the stoppage of Messrs. Lame is merely a temporary expedient, forced upon them by the failure of their neighbours, Messrs. RocHE. A notice has been issued, under the sanction of a Meeting of the principal Merchants of Cork, assuring the Public that they may place the fullest reliance on the ability of the Messrs. Imam to meet all their engagements. " The crisis," says the Southern Reporter, " to which the city. is re-' diced, is a trying one —one, indeed, which we cannot contemplate without great pain and apprehension." _The Paris Papers of Saturday arrived this forenoon. In the Chamber of Deputies, on Friday, M. LAtwa, who made the Report pn the Election Project of Law, was heard in reply to the leading objections brought forward to the view taken by the Commis-' pion.. This, howevir, only concluded the gaterpl discussion of the Project, which still remains to be debated, article by article. On Friday, the Chamber began, andadjourned the consideration of article 1. The King of Stop/ has issued a Decree, directing the Cevil Atithurities tct assign Monasteries or Con "'marl for the abode of such al the silty-nine Depu ties of the Ordinary' Cortes in 184, who protested swain* the Cemeitution, The Bishops who are of thii sessetter, ate; however, exempted from this spe purtte insprisuutneut, which is intended to SO keep the act-nsed Deputiej in safe qkstody until the Meeting of the Cortes, td-whonviselongs, according, to Decree, - the exclusive right ofludging-on offences cornmititd by the Deputies, during the exercise of their functions. French Five per Cents. Friday, 74 fr. 65 c. A Mail from Holland arrived this forenoon. The law suit between Louts BONAPARTE and the Ktao of the NETtfanLANDs, respecting the right tr property in the Pavilion of Haarlem, has, it is said, been terminated by an arrangement; gut of what nature we are not informeJ. The 29th Conference of the Plenipotentiaries from the different German States at Vienna, was to be held on the 13th inst. and it was expected to be their 'last. The Ratifications of several Courts had arrived at Vienna, and those which had not been received are ex pected every moment. The principal results of the Conferences of this Congress are only developements, it is said, of the Act of Confederation. They are 'comprised of sixty-five Articles, which will be laid , before the German Diet without further deliberation. The state of Trade is the grand subject of con sideration hi America, as well as in this country. The Report of the Committee of Ways and Means in the Rouse of Representatives, on the state of the Revenue;in the United States, has been published, and shews the following results of the examination of the Committee : _ _ Permanent Expenditures temporary Dollars, ri p 78,97 5 13,596,034 44,9711,009 From which deduct Items not required (as specified) for 1821 - - - 1,600,000 23,375,009 Estimated Amount of Receipts for 1821 (per State ment) _ - a 10,720,000 Leaving a Deficit, in 1821, of The Committee conclude their Report by earnestly recommending economy and retrenchment ; and by a Resolution calling on the PrizsrpEwr to draw up such a plan as will enable Congress, in its neat Session, to make such reductions in the various branches of Pub lie Expenditure as may be required by the state of the Finances. On this subject a - -New York Editor gives his countrymen the following advice, which, if followed generally by them, would embarrass the distresssed manufacturers of this country,:— cc As with individuals, so with the Natii nomy must be resorted to in good earnest. The pro ductive industry of the country must be encouraged. We must buy less, and sell more. We must become manufacturers. A considerable portion of our ito pulation is idle, while we are giving activity to the work-shopi of Europe. It will not do to tell us that I we must cultivate the land, at this time, when pro duce will not pay for our clothing. We now see tha miserable policy of looking to the national revenue as the index of prosperity. The disastrous year which filled our country with foreign goods, also filled our Treasury; but it was at the expense of the People, and is one cause of the present distress of all classes of the community. Internal taxation is inevitable; but we have no reason to dread it, if, at the same time, our internal trade and industry are promoted." On the same subject, The National Intelligencer says— , g The necessity of a rigid attention to the ex penditures of the Government- is the more apparent, at this moment, from a certainty that there will be a deficiency of the revenue for several years, which must be supplied by a reduction of the amount of the Sinking Fund, by loans, or by internal taxation. This.naturally leads the mind to the questions befoye Congress, which may affect the revenue. We do not yet think the revision of the tariff will be accomplished in the present Session; we fear there will be no final decision on it, but that it will be postponed to the next Session. We say we fear it—and we do so from the conviction that it is more important that the tariff of duties should be now settled and hereafter stable, than that it should be either of a greater or less amount. It is the uncertainty, arising ftom variable laws, and the resulting impossibility of cal culating with any precision, the result of Mercantile adventures, that deadens commerce, and paralyzes the enterprise of our merchants. We lidpe that, since the proposition is entertained, it may be decided is the present Session." With respect to the Florida question, The Itati• m o re Patriot sa y s —... , We have information which establishes the fact, that General Vives is fully au thorised to give full possession of the Floridas to the United States, and to take further time to'consider and adjust all the other subjects of controversy." The general voice appears to be in favour of the re-election of Mr. Monroe to the office of President. Commerce is beginning to revive at New York. We state with pleasure," says The Nero York Ga zette, " that the Spring trade has opened with more spirit than was anticipated, and that considerable good business is doing. For many years there has not been known such a scarcity of sailors, whose wages have risen horn eight to twelve dollars a month, and•[ew to be had at that price." The Worshipful Companies of Drapers and Gold smiths gave, yesterday, at their respective Halls, 'their Anniversary Dinners to their . Liveries, on ac count of the Restoration. They were numerously at tended, and much caviviality . prevailed. B 7 the death of the Re'. Rums BARNIti, the Archdeaconry of Totwes the Chancellorship of the Diocese of Exeter, and a Canso ßeade:niary of Enter Cathedral, become 'scant. Mr. Barnes was 89 Yeas of age. • { LORI) COCIIR.INi. Some furthet details of the operations of Lord COCHRANE, previously tb the important capture the fortress of Valdivia, in Chili, arecomtnunicated in a lend from Valparaiso of the 22d of February i It appears that, after raising the blockade of Callao, he proceeded up the river of Guayaquil, in pursuit' of the Prueva frigate s but that vessel, having landed her guns and .the greater part of her store% was carfi ried so high up the river that Lord Coeuttatgewas not able to follow her. He succeeded ia making himself master of the small island of Puna, which covers the entrance of the river Guayaquil ) and sub,' sequently captured two large Spanish merchant ves- 1 sels, the Aguila and the Begonia, one of 1,000, the other of 700 tons. The general state of affairs in Chili had assumed a flourishing aspect. General SAN MAirrtn had arrived at the capital frinn Men doza, much improved in his health, and there was every'expectation that the expedition against Peru would proceed to its destination by the latter end of March. Nearly 7,000 troops could be rendered dis posable for that object. The resources, of the Go= vernment had been materially benefited by the high 'duties on Chili produce, which had been exported in large quantities to Peru. This ciicumstance pre sents an extraordinary pictur,e, in the supply of one State with the means of subsistence by another, which it the same time carried on with her the most deadly and exterminating warfare. The English ships in the Pacific, who. had become in this traffic, by licenses from each Power, the medium of communi cation between both, had made large profits by it.— The Chili Government had made some liberal enact ments calculated to encourage the intercourse •of foreigners, and to prcmote the extension of their own trade: It had been proposed to levy the full duty of 94 1 / 2 per cent. on all goods in transit, afterwards re-shipped for the ports.of Peru; but, on a represen tatiou of the impolicy of this measure having been made by the British merchants, the Government gave permission that all goods declared for export, when entered at the Custom-house, might be re-, shipped by a payment of one per cent. on the valu ation. On all goods not declared for export, when entered a duty of 7 1 ,4 per cent. was imposed. The squadron intended to resume the blockade of Callao, was expected to sail froin Valparaiso immediately, when the embargo on merchant vessels in that port would be removed. RETRACT OP A LETTER PROM VALPARAISO, DATED FEBRUARY t 2. I told you in my formes letter of Lord Cochrane's entrance into Guayaquil, but as this letter may not have arrived, I will recapitulate the headsi—L•ord Cochrane went there with the Lantaro, in search of the Pram* frigate; at night he enteral the river alone, attacked and took two large merchant vessels. one of thirty-two guns, 000 tons burden ; the other of twenty six guns, 600 tons burden; such a thing before was never known. The entrance into Guayaquil river, on account of its difficult navigation, was never attempted except in broad day-light, and then with a pilot. The two prizes have arrived here—they are laden with timber. • The Lantern arrived six weeks ago, having a few days before her arrival left the Admiral, whose arrival was also hourly expected. " Many days elapsed, and anxiety was at its height, when a Spanish brig of war, the Potrillo, came in; she had been cap owed by him off Valdivia, whither she had been sent from Cal lao, with money and stores for the support of that strong place. Lord Cochrane had sailed there to reconnoitre ; he looked in, and had just taken out his tompions, for the purpose of making a dash, when the brig hove in sight, which he chased and cap tured. She had on board 10,000 silver dollars, and stores worth 4%000 more. lie wrote to me on the 2.3 d of Januarjr, saying the Military Commander on that station had agreed to co-ope rate with him, and that in the space of a few hours he fhould dis possess the enemy of their hitherto impregnable hold, and wholly free the Southern Provinces. He took 250 troops on board the the Montezuma schooner, of 10 pus, and the in trepid brig ; but in leaving the harbour of Conception, the fri gate struck on a sand-bank, tore off the whole of her copper, and she made eight feet water. The gallant Admiral, not, how -1 ever, dismayed, would not suffer himself to be delayed a single litour—he went on in this state. " On approaching Valdivia, the Intrepid struck upon a rock, and was lost ; notwithstanding this, Lord Cochrane entered the harbour, attacked the batteries, landed, assailed the forts him self, leading the men, and with his own hand planting the Chi- Han standard in the great square. The place surrendered. It was defended by 110 pieces pf cannon, mostly 24-pounders : an immense quantity of ammunition has fallen into kis hands—the military stores and chests of the Spanish Army of the South, This place is by tre the *sanest hold in Chili, having a narrow entrance, a spacious bay, with an island in the centre. There are ten strong forts, defended as well by nature as by art. 6 .- This is, perhaps, one of the greatest feats ever performed. I have a letter frdin him, stating that he has one more blow to strike in Chike, a place which, not being capable of defence, must fall. He has sailed thither in the Montezuma, with the Dolores transport, a prize be took at Valdivia, the O ' Higgins being too much dibabled to proceed in with safe ty.: He will be here in a few days. These arc most important matters, as the Expedition preparing here by San Martin may now leave the country safely in peace, as the whole of Chili will be freed from the Spaniards." CARLISLE ELECTlON.—Wednesday afternoon. in consequence of some skirmishes between the partisans of Sir PHILIP MUSGRAVE and Mr. JAMES, the Riot Act was read by Dr. LOWRY, and aborey afterwardi the military were called in front of the Hall, who loaded their pieces, and seemed prepared to act, if it should be thought necessary by the Magistrates.-- On the opening of the Court, on Thursday morning, the MAYOR observed, that the introduction.of the mi litary was entirely unknOwn to him; Sir Pritur MusonAvs made the same declaration ; and Mr. JAMES asserted; that in the event of his return, the first thing he assuredly would do, in his place in the House of Commons, would be to make a Motion for calling to accotnit those indivitinali echo had so vio. hated ihe Freedom of Election State of the poll on the fourth day, Saturday last 1 ti r , J anie , - - . 296 air laiiiip Maigrave Disputed • . . - . 5 Disputed .

His MAJESTY observing the absence (through indisposition) of the venerable President, Sir JOSEPH BANKES, was pleased to express much concern for the -cause, adding, at the same time, that it gave him in finite satisfaction to learn that the worthy Baronet had been prevailed upon to continue to fulfil the duties of the Presidentship, to which no man had ever done higher honour Gauges ROSE, Esq. was in troduced to his MAJESTY, upon his arrival in England from his Embassy to the Court of Berlin, and received the honour of Knighthood.

Friday night, the Countess of DERBY again opened her elegant residence in Grosvenor-square to the Fa- shionable World, with a brilliant Rout. The mag. nificent suite of rooms were brilliantly illuminated; the whole of the recesses were filled with exotics and ether odoriferous flowerhwhich shed a rich perfume.
