Some of the items will probably call forth animadversions, when Parliament meets. There may be good reasons for these payments, and, indeed, the reasons ought to be very good, that can warrant a continuance of all of them, when the public receipts f. 411 shwt of the expenditure. We have tot the means of forming a correct opinion respecting the allow ances to the Superannuated Officers of the Barrack Department ; but the allowance of £3OO a-year to WILLIAM BnAc.cn, and £6OO a-year to THOMAS BONNOR, who acted as Commissioners in examining the accounts of General DE LANCIA', long after the Commission has finisned its inquiry, requires, we should think, some explanation. This is not a time to squander away the public money. A cause, of con ,iderable importance to the interests of humanity, was tried yesterday, before Chief-Justice ,ABBOTT and a Special Jury, at the•suit of S. Ma nßAzo, the proprietor of a SpanisisAlave ship, against Captain WILLts, of the CHERUB sloop of war, for the cargo of slaves, captured by the latter, and landed at Sierra Leone. The damages were laid at 1:34,500. Chief-Justice ABLOTT suggested a doubt, whether a . foreigner could bring an action in a British Court of Law, for damages sustained in a traffic declared by the Law of England to be illegal ? A verdict for £lB,OOO was finally given, subject to the opinion of, the Judges on this point of Law.—Another point of Law stands connected with this, which we hope will not be ovellooked in deciding the question. He who comes into a Court of Law, in England, must come with clean hands. If Captain WILLts has damaged NIADRAZO in seizing his ship and cargo, was IVIADItAzo's cargo obtained without dt,mage to others ? Our laws w ill be found equally poweiful , we hope, in protecting Mack foreigners against da mage from white.foreigne; s, as the latter against da- Triage from English Commanders. The Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday, ar rived this forenoon. M. DE CAZE has fallen ill, as well as M. de SERRE, and public business is said to be, in consequence, quite at a stand. The weekly meeting of the Coun cil did not take place, as usual, on Wednesday last. M. de MAccm, Archbishop of Niseben, had, on Thursday, an audience of the King, when he pre sented his credentials as Papal Nuncio, and was most graciously received. The Chamber of Deputies Were occupied in their bureaux on Thursday, in the examination of the Pro ject of Law for the acquittance of the purchasers of national domaks, of all balances restirz due to the public. No day stood fixed for the next public meeting, and none was expected to take place till this week. An article from Constantinople states, that the DES' of Algiers has been induced to reject the united pro positions of Admiral FREMANTLE, and the French Admiral JCIIINE ) chiefly through the lying represen tations of the person who has recently returned from being his AmLassador at the English Court. He had the impudence, it is said, to make the DEY and people of Algiers believe, that England was never seriously hostile to the practices of the Barbatesque Powers. Letters from Tlipoli, dated tl:c 11th November, announce, that the pacific system adopted by that Regency is producing the happiest effects. Its corn liierCC and navigation are flourishing. No Corsair has issued from the ports of Tripoli since the Ist of July, 1818 ; and the DEY has solicited the mediation of England, to make his peace with all the Christian Powers. Me offers to engage never more to molest any foreign flag. General Moat r.Lo has sent home a dispatch, dated Valencia, 13th Septeinber, in which he gives the de tails of a very smart exploit, performed by a small party of Venezuelian Royalists, who surprised the quarters of General URDANETA, at New Barcelona, and had nearly taken him prisoner. The part', dis appointed of their prey, retired without any less. French give per Cents. Thursday, 72 f. 60c. FROM OUR PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT. " PARIS, JANUARY 7. " Political rumours are the order of the day. Ac cording to wine, the Count DE CAZE, finding it im po-cible longer to struggle against all parties, has raiigised, nut{ going off as Ambassador to Den mark, and that the orgeßized Banda of Chouans (denounced by Count LANJUINAIS last Session, but of which the existence was denied 1)1 M. DE CAzz) are coming to Paris, to play the part formerly acted, by the Marseillois. ' " The Conservateur, The Quotidienne, and The Dra pean Blanc, have for some time thrown out hints of this kind—understood by their friends, and shrewdly guessed at by their enemies. The Drapeau Blanc, in deed, has not minced the matter ; it says, at once— ' One hour of good will, .:ind the day's our own.' The hint has not been thrown away on any party. — This smiling aspect of affairs has half cured M. DESERRE of the Jamais sickness, and his Doctors now think he will recover. Joy sparkles in the faces of all the Royalists; for, though M. Ds CAZES has not yet resigned, they boast of having given him three kicks, which his Mi nistry cannot survive. Now, we apprehend, that the march of the Chouans to Paris is not near, and will be adjourned sine die, like the visit o► TRESTAILLONS, who was to have come on a similar errand. M. DE CAZES has not yet resigned ; And his politics resem ble, so much, those of his Majesty, that he will, per haps, stay in a little longer to plague those Gentlemen, and prevent the pleasure and utility of the Cliouans' vi sit to Paris. If the Charter and the Law of Elections arc to undergo some modifications, it will be only the more effectually to shelter them from the attacks of all parties, and establish liberty on the basis of equal rights." . • A Boston Paper, of the 9th December, states, that Don MATEO DE LA &RNA, who is the Charge des Affaires of the KING of SPAIN to the United States, has arrived at the seat of Government. The Alabama Republican states, that " the Spanish Commander at Pensacola had issued a Proclamation, ordering all Americans to depart the Province in eight hours, with their effects. A person, who is in town, fled with such precipitancy as to swim the Perdido river." BRIGHTON, JANUARY 10. The REGENT'S return is looked for to-morrow.', Lord and Lady WILLIAM GORDON and family are' , again the only residents of importance in Marlbo rough-row. Several hundred persons, by the gracious permis sion .f the PRINCE REGENT, had the gratification to pass through the grand suite of apartments at the Pavilion, on Thursday evening. Notwithstanding the falling snow and intense cold ness of the weather on Sunday, the respective places of Divine Worship were numerously attended. A young man, named SHORT, an inhabitant of this town, was frozen to death in t he night of Thurs day ; he was found on the beach, quite dead.— A seizure of a boat, loaded with contraband spirits, took place the same night. CIRCULAR LETTER PROM THE POPE TO THE IRISH PRELATES, ON TIN SUBJECT OF BIBLE SCHOOLS. (TRANSLATION.) " Rome, Court of the Sacred Congregation for the Propa gation of the Faith, September 18, 1619. " MY Loan—The prediction of Ors Loan Jesus Coaist, in the Parable of the Sower, that ' sowed good seed in his field but, while people slept, his enemy came, and sowed tate, upon the wheat'—Mat. xvi. 24, is, to the very great injury, indeed, of the Catholic Faith, seen verified in these our own days, par ticularly in Ireland. For information has reached the ears of the Sacred* Congregation, that Bible Schools, supported by the funds of the Catholics, have been established in almost every Part of Ireland, in which, under the pretence of charity, the in.. experienced of both sexes, but particularly peasants and paupers, are allured by the blandishments, and even gifts of the Masters, I aid infected with the fatal poison of depraved doctrines. It is further stated, that the Directors of these Schools are, generally speaking, Methodists, who introduce Bibles, translated into Eng lish by the Bible Society, aid abounding in errors ; with the sole view of seducing the youth, and -entirely eradicating from their minds the truths of the Orthodox faith. " Under these circumstance*, your Lordship already per_ ceives with what solicitude and attention pastors are bound to watch and carefully protect their flock from the snares of wolves, who came in the clothing of sheep.' If the pastors sleep, the enemy will quickly creep in by stealth, and sow the tares ; soon will the tares be seen growing among the wheat, and choak it. " Every possible exertion must, therefore, be made to keep the youth away from these destructive schools; to warn parents against suffering their children, on any account whatever, to be led into err or. But, for the purpose of escaping the snares' of the adversaries, no plan seems more appropriate than that •E` establishing Schools, wherein salutary instructions may be im parted to paupers, and illiterate country persons. " In the name, then, of the bowels (of the mercy) of OUR LORD Sues CLIKIST, we exhort and be seech your Lordship to guard your flock with diligence, and all due discretion from those who are i■ the habit of thrusting themselves insidiously into the fold of CHRIST, in order thereby to lead the unwary sheep astray : and mindful Qf the forewarning of Peter the Apostle, given in these words, viz.—' There shall also be lyltig masters among you, who shall bring in sects of Perdition, l'et. ii. 8. Do you la b our with all yo•ir might, to keep the orthodoX youth from being corrupted by them—an object which will, I hope, be easily ef fected by the establishing of Catholic Schools throughout your Diocese. And, confidently trusting, that in a matter of such vast importance, your Lordship will, with unbounded zeal, endea vour to prevent the wheat from being choaked by the tares, I pray the all-good and omnipotent GOD to guard and preserve you safe many xears.—Your Lordship's most obedient humble servant, " F. CARDINAL FONTANA, Prefect. " C. M. PEDICINI, Secretary." The Archbishop of CANTERBURI: and family are arrived at Lambeth Palace. LOl'd CASTLEREAGH, on Sunday, entertained a large party of distinguished characters at his seat, at Foots-Cray. The new Rosalind, whose debtit is announced f•r to-night at Covent Garden Theatre., is, we under stand, Miss WENsi.ey, a young Lady of a respect able family in Somercetsl.;re. THE ARMY. The 55th Regiment is under orders to march from Plymouth,. to be succeeded by the sth Veteran Bat talion, from Shrewsbury. • Tuesday, another detachment of the 4th Royal Ve -teran Battalion arrived at Edinburgh, and on Wed nesday two companies of the same Regiment marched into the Castle from York. Thursday, a company of the 80th Regiment marched into the Castle, from Fort George. Saturday se'nnight, Sir T.D. HESKETti, Bart. Colo nel of the 3d, or Prince Regent's Own Royal Lan cashire Militia, entertained the Staff of his Reginieat, and their wives, at Preston, with au excellent dinner. l After a variety of appropriate songs and toasts, they separated; highly gratified with the hospitality of their Colonel. _ " Head-quarters, Calcutta, June 25, 1819. " His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, with the sanc tion of the Most Noble the Governor-General in Council, is pleased to direct, that his Majesty's 21st Regiment of Light Dra goons shall, as soon as boats can be procured for its conveyance, proceed by water to Berampore, preparatory to the Regi ment's coming to the Presidency for the purpose of embarking for Europe."

EAST INDIES. EXTRACTS FROM CALCIITTA JOURNALS OF JULY LAST. ANOTHER EARTHQUAKE. Miezarortn..—Letters from Chunar and Mirza pore mention, that about eight o'clock in the even ing or the 16th instant, the shock of au earthquake. was experienced at these places. We ought to have noticed in our last, that the same eirect, in a slight degree, was remarked about the same time at Cal cutta. At Chunar, the motion was accompanied by a noise in the atmosphere, which resembled that oc casioned by the rapid flight of birds. JIONPOOR.—The shock of the earthquake that was felt in CalcUtta, on the evening of Wedneiday, the 16th instant, about half-past eight o'clock, was ex perienced also at Jionpoor, pretty nearly about the same time, as will appear by the following extract of letter transmitted to us from that station, which reached us by yesterday's dawk " A strong shock of an earthquake was felt here on the night of the 16th of June instant, at a quar ter past eight o'clock ; there were three distinct vi brations from west to east, with the usual accompa niments of rattling wall shades, swinging punkahs, and flapping doors. There are different opinions as to its duration, which appeared to me about tweedy five seconds; the intervals were very distinct. It was not accompanied by the rumbling noise I have usually heard pn such occasions, and which I have hitherto imagined to be the earth's vibration. both the noise and motion must be separate effects of some unknown cause. The rains have not yet com menced, and the weather has been unusually hot." SULTANPORE.—Extract from a letter dated Sal tanpore, Oude, 17th June, 1819 :—" A severe and awful shock of an earthquake was felt at this sta tion last night, at seventeen minutes past eight, which lasted some time, and occasioned very consi derable alarm. The Bungalows actually rocked, particularly .the mess one of the Ist Battalion 19th Regiment, in which the Officers were at dinner at the time, and the huts of the soldiers were a good deal damaged. The heat for the last two or three days has been excessive, and not a drop of rain has yet fallen." BERADIPO4L—On Thursday, the 24th instant, at about seven o'clock in the evening, a violent storm of thunder, lightning, and rain, occurred at Seram pore : the lightning struck the flag-staff, and shivered the mast from top to bottom, wrenched the iron clamp at the foot of the mast ; and discharged itself into the ground around the punkah building, that was erected to fit the flag-staff into. This was a most fortunate event, as there .were three or four Gentle men standing at and near the winch,w of Colonel Meiselback's house, all of whom might hays been struck had the lightning touched the corner of the house. It was accompanied, at the same moment, with the loudest explosion that can possibly be con ceived—as if a hundred cannon had been fired at the same moment. CALCUTTA, JUNE f9.—The Theatre, at Chow ringhee, was honoured, on Friday evening, with the puesence of the Marquis and Marchioness of PAS* TINGS, and the House was filled at an early hour. MA DEA s.—By The . Madras Courier of the I.sth • ult. we observe, that the Head-quarters of his Ma jesty's 13th Dragoons, and part of that Refiraent, disembarked on the morning of the 14th. The surf was very high, but no accident occurred. PENA NG, MAY 29.—0 n the 21st of May, as three Malay women were fishing in the Sanghy Draka, on the opposite shore, within the Company's limits, one of them was suddenly seized by an uncommon large tiger; the cries of her companions, it appears, intimidated the ferocious animal, when he quitted his victim, and made of for the woods. The unfor tunate woman expired shortly after. The following paragraph has appeared in several public Journals:—" We deeply regret to hear that some of the best-informed friends of the Officers em ployed in the Lxpedition sent out to search for a North-west Passage, have given up.all hopes of ever seeing them agatn."—We also deeply regret, that any intelligent Jour . nal should insert such a para graph. lc was known, from the setting out of the Expedition, that it was not only probable, but almost certain, they wouldhave to winter in Davis's Straits; every article likely to contribute to their comfort and preservation in that case was liberally supplied; and ' many instances are upon record, wherein the crews of vessels yea specially fitted out for wintering, hate returned home in safety. • No well-informed person, therefore, is warranted in saying, that there is .no ground of hope for the return of those persons. Yesterday, being Plow Monday, the Officers for the several Wards in the City of London were sworn into office, at Guildhall, before the LORD MAYOR.
