The Halt-yearly Dividend of this Loan falling due on Wed_ nesday, the Ist of January next, will be paid on that and every succeeding day, between the bouts of ten and two, at the Count ing-house of IloinscHnn, in New -court, St. Sw•ichin'.s lane.—N.B. The Dividend Warrants must be left one day for inspection, viz. those presented on the 31st December will there fore be paid on the Ist January, and so in continuance. those dissensions which unhappily prevail in that country. That Prance has seen her true policy in witheli awing from the threatened contest wkh Spain, every person of .common,sense will readily acknow. % We suspect, hoirever, that fear °ldle conse quence, rather t!lan a sense of the injustice of attack ing Spain,. has been the principal cause of the change in the Fi each Cabinet ; and that France had just cause to fear, no person who knows the feelings 01 the French military will deny. It is true that LOWS XVIII. is endeavouring to get an army entirely composed of Royalists; but. the thing is impo,sible. Ile may pursue his plan of dis missing forty thousand men of the regular army every year, and replacing them by young conscripts; but the sons have the same feelings as their fathers, and the present generation of Frenchmen know nothing of the I3ounnoss, but as the former oppressors of their country—as a family whom they had driven from the throne, and who have since len forced upon them by foreign bayonets. A Gentleman, who has just returned from Ike South of France, where be has been for some months, a,stires us that the French were decidedly for war; not that they had any enmity against Spain, but that they lodked upon it as affording them a chance of effect ing that revolution in the Governthent which they . still look forward to. And it was generally believed that the moment a French army pasted the Spanish frontier, Mi NA would have entered France, and hoist ing tire tri-coloured flag, have rallied all the enemies of the BounsoNs round his banner. It is now need less to speculate on what would have been the result, since the French Government, by its pacific deter. ruination, has avoided the quicksand on which it had so nearly been driven. In noticing this subject, we cannot forbear express ing our approbation of the firmness displayed by the British Cabinet, for to our remonstrance against all interference with Spain is the pacific decision of the French Governsnent.to be attributed. It proves that we have not, as some of our contemporaries have re presented, lost our influence ; but it thews what is of , infinitely more importance, that we will -no longer support or countenance the Holy Alliance in its sys tem of foreign aggression and inte:forence with in dependent States. We trust that this i.s an earliest of a better policy than has hitherto guided our Cabi ' net, and that the same firmnes which has distiu guished it in the affairs of Spain and France, will be displayed whenever the Holy Allies meditate an at tack on the liberties of any neighboming State. The French Papers of Wednesday, though losing much of their importance by the more recent Express, possess several articles of interest, which will be found in another part of this day's Paper. This forenoon we received a German Mail, with Papers to the 22d inst. The following arc the only articles worth quoting : FRANKFORT, DECEMBER 2.0. The Allgenwine Zeitung, of the 18th December,' speaks of a new Austrian Loan, but in so incorrect a I manner, that it were to be wilted that the Editor de rived his information front more authentic sources—, . We know from good authority, that the Minister of Finance, at Vienna, has not applied to the mer chants of Frankfort for this operation. After a tt ans action which he has made with the National Bank of Austria, relative to the repayment cf the paper cur rency called Einlosungs Schcine, a transaction which must tend to raise the value of the Bank Shares, the Minister invited Messrs. Frees and Co. Geymuller and Co. Arnstein and Eskelis, and Baron Solomon Rothschild, residing at Vienna, to submit proposals, on the 31st December, to take upon them, at a fixed rate, 36 millions of Bonds, in Metalliques, at 5 I'er cent. to be delivered and paid in the years 1823, 1824, 182.5, and 1826, at d,terminecl periods. Till it is known that the Minister of Finance finds the proposals acceptable, it cannot he said that the loan will take place, and it is very pdsible Nit the wants of the Imperial Treasury may be provided fot in another manner. But if the above sum should be really issued, it cannot sensibly affect the price of the Austrian 5 per Cent. Metalliques, since only six millions of florins will be put into circulation in 1823, twelve millions in 1824, and the same sum in 1826. M. W. Lefebres, a German Officer, returned from the chorea, has printed at Marseilles a " Narrative of several Military Actions of Me Greeks." The fol lowing is the Postscript which concludes it:— t. Imbued with illusions, on my departure from the Pelopon nesus, my surprise was great whenever austere reality undeceived me; but I confess that I can compare nothing to the astsnish ment I felt when I saw, a few days since, a crowd of generous enthusiasts arrive at Marseilles, who are sent to the abyss in which I was so nearly swallowed up with many others. " Allow me, my dear fellow-countrymen, to give you a salu— tury warning, which is dictated to me by hard experience which NEAPOLITAN LOAN. The Dividends due on Wednesday, January 1, on the Neapo litan Loan, will be paid by ?Jr. N. M. lloxuscumo, on all Stock negotiated by him, and according to the current rate of ex change, on that and every succeeding day, Sundays excepted, betwtcn the hours of ten and two.-1.11. The Dividend War rants must be left one day for inspection, Vl7. those presented on the 5l st of December will then fore be paid on the Ist of January, and so in continuance. This has ben a busy day on 'Change, on account of the news from Paris, nine Expresses from that capital having an ived in the course of the forenoon, bringing a v.O iety of., reports. Some doubt was en tertained in Pails as to the resignation or dismissal of M. DE MONTMORENCY; but all the accounts concur in stating the pacific decision of the French Cabinet in the Council held on Wednesday evening. One private letter states that, at a C..uncil held or. Monday, a very warm altercation took place between M. deVr LLRLE and M.M.de MONTMORENCY and Con- MERE, on the question of war, for which the two latter strongly contended, but were as firmly opposed by M. de ViLLF.LE, who, having the KING in his favour, has triumphed. The accounts from Paris arc as late as five o'clock in the afternoon of Thursday. The French Five per Cents. on that d..y were as high as 88f. 90c. and left off at 881. :15c. The French Papers of Wednesday have reached us by the ordinary Mail. On Thursday no Journals were published, on account of Christmas-day ; but by an Express, which left Faris on Thursday morning, we learn the important fact that the pacific party has predominated in the French Cabinet, and all idea of war with Spain is abandoned. This decision, so important to the BOURBONS, for on the question of war or peace their fate depended, was taken in a Council of Ministers, held on %%red nesday evening, at which the KING presided. After a long discussion, the great question of peace or war wth Spain was settled. The Km: was most decided in his support of the pacific system of his Prime Minister, M. de VI LLELE and the result of the Council was, that M. de MONT-. SIOR ENCY receive-I his dismissal Born the Cabinet. %I. de VILLELE instantly sent off to Madrid an ex traordinary courier with this important decision. 6 t cat praise is due to M. de VILLELE for the firm-1 I have lately had. In the foreign land which seems to invite, you, you will find only misery, death, or at least the i ngrat i tu d e Pess with which he has resisted the mad projects of! of those whom you are going to serve.

'Yesterday morning the CHANCELLOR of the Ex. CHEQUER came to town from Blackheath, and trans acted business at the Treasury. By a courier which left Cadiz on the 13th instant, letters of that date have been received, and of the 16th from Madrid. As they were dispatched chiefly for commercial objects, they contain no details of public events. Andalusian stated to he in perfect tranquillity, influenced by the strongest attachment to the Constitution, and without the apprehension of any attempts to disturb the system. Mrs.'s's official advises from Catalonia had communicated the over throw of the insurrection in that province, and he had also, in his private letters to the Government at Made id, given assurances that the whole of that part of the kingdom would soon be re-organized. The knowledge of this fact, and of the alliance with Por tugal, becoming general at the same time, has in ' spired the utmost confidence among the friends of the Constitutional sy aeon The prevailing sentiment is described to be the wish for peace, though it is felt that Spain was prepared for war. Not the slightest Interruption to public tranquillity had taken place in the capital. Extract of a letter from Madrid, dated Dec. 11.— Ctirio,ity is. On tiptoi: to learn for ss hwe reception the coutl , :ry Place of the Pardo is rreparing. It is about th:ee leagues from Madrid, but though the gi winds about it at e %veil wom2ed, the Palace is a very humble lank:bag, the least showy and convenient which belongs to the Sovereign of Spain. It was to this place, you may recollect, the mutineer guards fled on the night they abandoned the metropolis, and here they remained posted till the 7th of July, the day on which they attacked Madrid at three diffeient points.' The mansion is now fitting up with as little delay as possible. It is supposed that the scruples of the Cortes have subsided a little, w ith respect to the detention of the King in the metropolis, and that they will permit him to retire for a month or two to the Pardo ) where he can be well guarded, and the vicinity of which to Madrid offers facilities for in creasing his guards in case there may be necessity. —Martinez de la Rosa, Moscoso, Gareli, and the other Ex-Ministers who were in office on the 7th July, have been declared exonerated from the charges biought against them before the Military Fiscal, of having been implicated in theconspiracy of that period. IA was in itself a measure of violence to have sub jected them to the authority of this Fiscal, since, if they were to he tried at all, the only tribunal com petent to the task, was the Cones. However, the', Fiscal has declared that there was no ground for the act of imprisonment issued against them, and has annulled it, together with all its effects and conse quences. The Ex-Ministers have expressed their de-, termination to lay the whole case before the public, that not a shadow of doubt might remain in the minds of the most suspicious, as to their entire in nocence of the consph ac y in question.— The liberation of San Martin is still the leading topic with the, orators of the Lanalaburian Society. The Hall was so crowded on the Bth inst. at six o'clock, an hour before the harangue commenced, that hundreds were obliged to go away, unable to procure room. It is astonishing to see the interest which is constantly excited by the proceedings of t 1 s ' ; hut I have observed, that night after night the classes of people . who attend it are less and less respectable. There are generally front seven to ten harangues every evening. The strictest conformity of opinions prevails amoug,t the members of this Sot ..y. They ate in number little more than a Imit.ired, and they are univer sally Leath:dos—that is to say; they ate republicans at heat t, who desi: e to have all the power, influence, and offices of the State engrossed by their party.— They count amongst them very few men of talent or propel ty, with the exception c f the Duque del Parque, the late President of the Cor tes, and a rit;li, as well as a highly-accomplished Nobleman. Ile is, for what reason I know not ; a violent Elaltado. Ills enemies ltiase his present principles to private pi que , i n coa sequence of a preference given, in one or two in stances, to other Noblemen, by the Court." • BRIGHTON, DECEMBRI .

The eldest was skaiting, when the ice broke in nine feet of water. The unfortunate youth was paddling with his hands on the surface of the .ice, when the younger, who was enjoying his slide, • went to his assistance, fell inter the hole, ar.d bock per ished. The bodies were taken up in an hour after. The Pa RlM—Yesterday, from two to three o'clock, the carriage-ride in Hyde Park was filled with gay and splendid equipages, and more particularly mar rthe Serpentine, which was covered with numerous ,groups of skaiters of the first water. The figure.: ci eight, quadrangles, and semicircles were the most pc-, violins, and army of the perfor mere appeared to be very expert. Notwithstanding that many persons fell into the Canal in St. James s'Paik on Thursday, is con,equence of the ice breaking, it was crowded yes terday. At twelve o'clock three yonng men fell in altogether, in the spot where the Pagoda-bridge stoop , but happily they were got out, by means of rose , without sustaining any matetial injury. The Croak then left the spot, and entered near the Parade upon the ice, a place at all times dangerous from the sir cnmstance of the water being always kept in nuiti..o by the sluices. At three o'clock several lads pressed close together, when the ice broke, and one of them tell in completely.. One of the Humane Society's men threw off his coat, dived after him, and brought iris head to the surface, but could not extricate him from the ice. A rope was lashed to the man's body, but this had not the desired effect, and a ladder was tried, but it proved of no service.
