HAMBUROH, JANUARY & On the Ist some ships were able to sail from this City. If the mild weather continues a few days the Upper Elbe will be again navigable. NEXT TUESDAY, THE sisT OF THIS MONTH, nilt STATE LOTTERY COMMENCES DRAWING. To the surprise of many, the French Funds have improved. •hen. according to appearances, every circumstance was operating to depress them. The fact of their actual rise. was itself a proof that some- tiring was on the tapis, or would soon transpire, to explain' this nalosiked-for ',enc.—Before the close of the market yesterday, it was confidently rumoured - at the Stock Exchange that the French Government bad sot only found means to supply, by a loan, the difiCitof twelve millions string, stated in the Report of tbe Commission on the Law respecting individual LIMY ; but to lessen their public expenditure by paing rid of part of the Army of Occupation. We are inclined to believe that there is some truth in both these statements. The French failed in their effort to induce the British Government to guarantee any loan they might be able to negotiate; but they have, it is confidently asserted in private letters from Paris, succeeded in obtaining a loan from private individuals t and we are sorry to add, the principal lensbers are British capitalists. We are sorry we sap to learn this fact, for in proportion as the transfer of se much property to France shall enhance the same of property in that country, it must diminish its vales in our own. No State can ha benefited by the receipt of the bare interest of capital sunk in another country s Ike might as well contend . that it would be more bp. Deficit' to export our products in a rase dna is a, manufactured state. Thk negociatiao as tarried on. at Paris. The English houses of BURK/ and Hors are (we know not with what truth) reported to have best active is the transaction ; and it is not doubted that certain large sales of stock, effected on Monday on our lima Exchange, were for the purpose of investment its the French Funds.—Can we wonder at the de pression in our own Funds, when it is - considered that to many it could be no secret that a certain sum would probably be soon drawn out of par money market The amount of the loan is stated at three hundred millions of francs, to be advanced in two portions— one of one hundred and forty millions, and the other of one hundred and. sixty millions of francs. If we may credit some reports, nearly nbalf of the amount ;Hill be furnished in provisions, clothing, etc. for the troops of the Allies now in Preece ; and It is very resiklelhat those who are deepest in the transaction way hays is this way secured to themselves an ;Ida., &sal km% besides the benefit which they derive frees the kss knowing capitalists who may buy Wraith Funds at as advanced pin. • Whether iibilteitinced by aciwriumetit er not we tootider the whole transaction is highly injurious the general it of the contestmit7. It the 1110.4* ail property of the, iedividuals of the British people any, ender any chentestances. he tranferred to mo ther country,. to the' evident injury and derision at *tease et our land and every species of property which any be called immoveable, it is high days that aseasares should be adopted to remedy the evil. A. to the other part of tim report in circulation—' that the Allies have agreed to lessee the number of troops ci:mposing the Army ot Occupation ; it je eats grimly irubahle that this is the fact: and, if this can be done with safety to Europe, every rational man must rejoice that this source of waste and expense to all the Powers is about to be limited and lessened. The reslictioa is to be TWO men, of which, ot coarse, ottr prepOrtiOn will be 6000. By the Sth Article ot OS Treaty the what done for eecopying the strong Fogs was liaises) to fin yesn ; but with a 'samba= that itmight terminate at the end of three. if if i t should appear to the Allied Sovereigns and the Elmo Of Fawns that the motives which occalipaed the osibpstion ceased to elist."—But if at as earlier period they bare found that they may with safety reddie the number of troops. it is highly proper that theiti subjeots should be relieved as much as possible from the expense of maintaining idle, unproductive, armed men. For our own part, when we look at the distress which pervades Europe, at the general stagnation of commerce, at the derangement of the 6nancesin every State—or in plain terms, at 4 moment wisest the usual resources of war are every where dried up, we cannot see that there would be any danger in with drawing the whole, or at any rate # entire half of the Allied Army from trance. If one half was left In occupation of the principal frostier garrisons, the surrouading States would be perfectly secured against 'any act of aggression on the part of Frances and were France to indicate such a disposition, it would be poui ble for the other Poweri to embody new armies before they could possibly commit any serious act of aggies• Jon. Butthere mighfbe internal commotions in France! And is Europe for ever to act the part of peace offi cers and constables, and bailiffs, fgr the Bourbons ! Is Europe not only to be exhausted by wu best by paw, for the sake of France ? Rather let the anis. 'creams; if thit be still their taste, destroy ekch ether till want of material to work upon shall stay their work ot slaughter. Let the other States breathe a little—let them husband their resources—ameliorate the condition, and conciliate the affections of their people, and they will have nothing to fear from; France. They have proved already that whenever th'ey will they can crush France in the dust. It pro yoked again to visit her with vengeance, let it be of that tremendous kind. which shall render it morally and physically impassible for that country again to disturb Europe for a century to come. In the event of such a visitation being rendered imperative on the other Powers, tenderness, mercy, and compassion to France would be cruelty, treachery, and murder to their own subjects ! Monday afternoon, the Panics RIXIMIT, accompa nied by General Sir B. BLooarriatn, took an airing on horseback along the Cliffs, at Brighton, and about the vicinity of th.t town. _ _ The Queen has not yet been able to leave her apartments, at Windsor. Notwithstanding the reasons that existed to induce a belief that the Brazilian invadon was in hostility to ' Feat:origami), it appears by respectable letters from Madrid, received yesterday, that the troops of his Most Faithfol Majesty the Log of PORTUGAL bad entered the territory of Monte Video, under. an ex press treaty made with the late Miaister LARVIZABAL, by which the King of BMW cedes to them the whole of the eastern bank of the river Plate, on condition that they shall co-eperate with the Lime army, in order to pacify the western bank and restore it to its former allegiance. Don MARTIN GARAY has entered on the konetions of Minister of Finance, but it was not expected he would bold his office long, ks it was thought a new Ministry would shortly be formed, with goo None Cava art at its head, who had DOI goes to Naples. At the King's Theatre, last night, the Opal of Peaskts was again presented to a most respectable audience. The performance was complete in every respect. Madame CAMPORDII end Madame PASTA gave improved specimens of their fine taste and eit• section, and were rapturously applauded = nor did the merits of the other performers pus without a due share of praise.-31te Ballet of Dosuommois, which succeeded the Opera, passed off with great success.

At Cape Henry it Ibis been very fatal; end we regret to state that Lieutenant BLISASNRS. R.

By the last ac counts, however, it had nearly subsided at the Cape, but bad reached Sosaives, where it had carried off a German Gentleman of the name of Suter M s, train Bremen, and the greater part of the crew of an Eng lish ship. CARR BOCIL+We are sorry, in the space of a few weeks, to have again to notice the fatal effects of a very dangeroes reef of rocks, which extend from the shore at rifeness fully a mile and a half to seaward, and terminate in the Carr Rock. The sloop Janet, of Sp Andrew's, 40 tons register, ELDEit Master, bound from Alloa with coals, sprung a leak off the Carr Rock, about six o'clock on the evening of the 6th. The crew, finding that the water gained fast ppoe them, were making for the shore, to run the howl upon nalcentie Sands, when she unfortunately struck on one of the outer rocks of the Brigs, near the Carr; the crew immeJiately took to the boat, and landed in safety. The Carr Rock boat, with the as sistance of a fishing-boat, on the day following, suc ceeded in saving the sails, cables, anchors. and spars, but it is feared the hull and cargo will be totally lost: at present bee stern appears at low water; the vessel is pot insured. BOSIZST Watson(, Lord Smug's fisherman, who has been resident at Fifeness for about 60 years, is enabled, from what he recollects of the shipwrecks at the ,Can Rock, to remark, that there has been, in hie time, Hat least sixty vessels lost upon the Carr !
