Yesterday all Parls learnt, with the greatest surprise, that the Count de BIZCai had arrived, during tt,e night, from his Em. bassy at Rome: his Brit visit wa► of course to the Minister of Foreign Affair., with whom he went immediately to the Thank ries, where he was received by his Majesty in the most flattering manner. It appears certain, that if the Duke of Richelieu ex parted his arrival (which I consider as very doubtful), it was a perfect secret to ad the other Ministers. Last sight all the drawing•rooms of Paris talked of nothing else, and the tame conversations continue today. " The J•eraal des Maires, in an article which has been copied into all the other papers, diseLims any idea of a dissolution of the Chambers, and treats the report with contempt. The 'an silage used is remarkable on account of its harshness, particu larly as it is supposed that a conaideiable part of Administration are friendly to the measure, more especially the Garde des &taus. M. Mold, and their partisans. lam quite of the opi nion of the Minister of Police, as expressed in his Jeweled its, Maher, that the measure wool.: be ill judged, but I am not sue pried that M. Pasquier and M. Mole desire its with the new election law, a great many of the revolutionary party would be elected, and that party has been accustomed for many years past to look up to these Grotlemen as their Chiefs. " last Mosiday evenin 6 , a new Piece was represented at the Vaudeville. As one of 'he authors, M. Desangiers, is well k-iown for his Royalist opinions, several Lalf.pay officers had expressed dull- intention to damn it, good or hod. , 'lbis Vein known, the Royalists went there to applaud: Ati attempt was made to hiss: (sue of die hall. pay officers who wits most active in the scandalous tumult at Geo foamier: , and who WAS in consequence ter some time in prison, was there. Many cares were brandished in the Pit, but Ido not believe any blows were positively given. The. Royalists were in a decided majority, and the Piece consequently met with success. " It was nothing remarkable, and if no Earty-rpirit bad interfered, it would Uwe succeeded, being neither better nor wcrse than the other pieces represented at the wile l'heatre, where the public M seldom StVeff. I make use of this opportunity to men tion, that the Dial! of Germanicus is nut given to canes in ge- octal, but to those short once which were made to elude the order of the police to deposit all cane, and swords at the pit• door : these canes are so short, that they are concealed without difficulty under the coat. As the hatf-pay officers are left quiet, with they wouldleave the public quiet also—it is quite ridicu• lout that plays should be judged by the political opinion.; of their authors. " Mademcistne Desdilitres, who is supposed to be the richest heiress in France, is about to bestow her hand and fortune upon a young Officer of rank. The Gentleman Is amiable and aecum. plisbed; his fortune, thanks to the Revolution, Is not large, but that is of little consequence to a Lady who Is supposed to'have at least L16,p00 sterling a year. As be is the sea of the French Ambassador at our Court, it is =petted that the new-married couple will pay a visit to London." Charlestown Papers have reached us to the 26th of March, but their contents are not very interesting. An article from the Havannak Diary states that the now Vico.Roy. APODACA, bad commenced his func tions undo: Meg favourable auspices--th* Royalists having obtained no less than six victories over the Independents in a very short period ! I—This is of a piece with former accounts published by the Royalists. The United States sloop of war Hornet, is to bring Mr. ADAMS to this country as Ambassador, in the room of Mr. JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, the new Secretary of State. We are happy to say the Quees is so much reco vered from her indisposition,, that she took an airing yesterday, and honoured Lady CREMORNE with a vial' at her house at Chelsea Farm, between one and two o'clock. Her MAJESTY was - accompanied by the Princess ELIZABIIIII. Yesterday morning, soon after ten o'clock, the Duke of YORK had an interview with the Palma Its- GENT at Carlton House, and afterwards proceeded to Windsor. Prince Lxorotto arrived at Carlton House yester day, about one o'clock, and remained a considerable time with the REGENT. Afterwards his Serene High ness went to Camelford House. It gives us great pleasure to announce that the I Duchess of Gt.oucursa is better. The Bulletin an nounced, that " her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gt.oucarrart is better to-day." In addition to this., we learn that her ROYAL HIGHNESS had a good night's rest.—The Play of this evening , at Covent-' Garden Theatre, is by the desire of the Duke and Duchess, but it is not expected that they will be able to attend. We understand that the amiable Duchess of Gcou. CESTIR is in a fair way to make the Duke, her hus band, a happy father. We are happy to hear by tke last accounts from , Clumber Park that the Duke add Duchess of New. CASTLE are considered by their Physicians out of danger. The continued indiposition of the Countess ot Lt- VERPOOL has induced the Noble Earl again to solicit leave to retire to the Continent, in hopes of relict to. his Lady by the warmer air of Italy. It is thought that he will go abroad at the close of the Session. The Dowager Countess of Saerrasauav bad an elegant assembly yesterday evening at her house in Grosvenor-sqoare, which wu very numerously andl fashionably attended. Mrs. Bosom gave a g rand concert last night at her house in St. Jattlell.l44lllatei which was attended by 'upwards of 400 persons of the first distinction and fashion. Lady Euxuaohodom gave a grand ball and sup. per last night at her house in St. James's-Klan, w hich was very fashionably attended. Mts. Jakarta Noawsaa, the daughter 'of a Bar rover, and the intimate friend of &MEE, died last week, in the Almshouse at Brigg, in Yorkshire. It is stated, in accounts from Frankfort, that the wife of the Crown Prince of Swum is expected there, and that the wife of JObfall SoNAPAITT., her sister, who resides there, is going out to meet her. The Ez.Lting of SwiDitht resides in that city with hischil dren, so that he will have the satisfaction of living in the same society with the wife of the heir to his throat. . . . TITHES TN LONDON. There is at moment considerable hustle, in some of the Parishes of the - htktropnlis oapioned . lry the collection of Tythes. &MC of bents, or Lay IMpropriators Of thilie Parish(' in tffr City of Londort, which were nut destroyed in the dreadful fire of 1666, are proceeding to 'filmic the payment of 2s. 9d. per pound, on the rack rents.— The inhabitants have petitioned Parliament upon the subject. The main atgunient against the claim is the great amount of the incomes raised by it. Thus they say, that, while one half of a parish; which is not within the boundaries of the City, pays the Lay- Impropriator only sel2o per annum, the other halt, is within them, paid the Last Impropriator . . 4800 a-year, and now pays his son ,eIOOQ. The# give the following instance of an increase of tythe payments upon one house : Fs= 1771 to 1804 inclusive, the tenant paid, per An. 12 4 0 (N.B. The Lay impropriator died in 1804.) From Christmas, 1804, to Midsummer, 18117, ... 9 IR 6 19bm Midsummer, 1887, to Christmas, 1809, 9 4 6 limns Christmas, 1809, to Midsummer, 1810, l3 1 4 From Midsumme., 1510, to the present time, In another parish they say the Tythes have been raised from £4OO to £2OOO, and may, if the principle on which they are collected is established, be raised to .1111%)(,0 or £BOOO. This is a subject of great importance, and requires seric.as investigation. There is something of fallacy on the face of the whole of this question, which leads, under the pretext of maintaining rights and property, to the operation of injustice and the invasion of pro perty. Ti.o subject is generally investigated on ab stract principles, applied to only one side of the ques lion. What a man buys, it is said, he has a tight to make the most of. If it be answered this is not strictly true ; for no man has a right to improve his property at the expense of that of his neighbour ; the reply is ready—The law has laid down the rule for hit conduct, and what the law sloes not trohibii, respecting a man's propetty, ie termitt.—Thus the haw is made answerable for the injury done to other people's property for the benefit of an indivi dual or a class, and the comFlaint of injustice or op pression is evaded Ls) the extortioner saying, it is not me but the law that robs you. Ir. despite of this quibble let the fact be examined on its own merits, and by the rule of equity, and it I will be rendered apparent that the Laws which are blamed as the cause of the evil complained of should ' I be altered to meet the change of circumstances and the justice of the case.—Take for example the ease of a Lay Impropriator and his neighbour : A- buys an estate in the parish of ---. In the particulars of sale he finds, among other burthens, Tythes to be paid on the estate of the amount of IS pre onmats; and on inquiry, he finds that this has been the amount for many years—and he pays a price proportioned to the rental after deducting that and other burthens. On the same day the Tythes of the same parish are sold s their produce taken on average of a certain number of years is stated in the particulars of sale. There are various competitors. and 8— becomes the buyer, at a price which will yield him a fair interest on the money paid for the Purchase. —Further both A and B have been equally prudent in their bargain—both have secured to them selves a return of 7 per cent. for their capital ; and, to narrow the question, let there be no other inha bitant in the parish but the said A and B, and let the capital sunk by each be £4000,. yielding at 7i per cent. £3OO per annum. Can any thing be more equitable than that each of these purchasers should continue in their relative situations? But Mr. B finds by some old Statute that he has been plated in the shoes of the Roman Ca thoSe Priesthood—and though that Priesthood has long been abolished, as such, by the law of the land, he endeavours to avail himself of the circumstance, at the expense of his neighbour. He finds that he may, by the increased capital that has been expended on improving the estate now occupied by Mr. A, de mand seven times the amcunt of tythes hitherto paid by that estate—seven times the amount of what was stated as the hurdler: when A bought it—seven time-. the amount of the aassuity of iesbp, for which B paid 41000. He euforces his demand, and in two years B takes from A no less a sum, in name of tythes, ;Iwo fourteen times £3OO, or /24200 ! I It is high time that this questicn should be settled on something like equitable principles. There can not ')e justice in a system which permits an adventi tious circumstance to operate in this manner, taking from one man the value of a property for which he paid a fair market price, and putting so much mere into the pocket of another, and for which he never really paid any valuable consideration. The equity of the question cannot be mistaken.— Why then should Parliament hesitate to apply a re medy ? Will the time never arrive in which this law, operating as a prohibitinn to future improvements, shall be abolished ? Are the Landholders for ever to continue such fools as to permit an abuse of which they have only to will the extirpation, and it will for ever cease ?. The new Exchequer bills are to be issued in sums so low as 4110% and perhaps even ASO each. Tl.l is sound policy, nor can we see *hy a part of out circalatin nadir* might not be Exchequer Nit oi even Antra amount, which might - be made to up, rats to the lessentng .1 the interest now paid by the Stall 111 Qat Wit debt.
