' At the date of the Report, 21st January 1814, tine total amottnt of the French _Bank notes in citenlition was only 38,926,800 franks, (about lan,6oohooo her ring), making; with their atebonts.current debts (it strange its* in the books of a National Bank) ill • whole debt doe by the Bank, 0,700,500 . franirt (about at 1,900,000 sterling.). To.cover this the Botitt has in cash 14,854,000. franks! l• (about &MOO . sterling) and in the strong WS 3t ! 521,000 franks Hs . bills at a short date. No these bills are those of the Iteceivert et Con tributions in the Departments, who 6ubtiribed bills, plyable monbily; for the supposed amount of the tares they were to receive. When BoNArAarn a .s proposed loan vas refuted by•the . mctnied interest of Park, and when he laid new takes in lieu of it, it compromise took place, by *ltlch the monied people' were to discovt thoie bills of the Receivers for the , new taxes. But now the pressure of the war , the number of the departments invaded, and the inter ruption of communications', render the payment of tie greater proportion of those bills absolutely ippos- &hie, not to mention the unwillingness arising on all sides from the uncertain state of affairs, That' , these are the Bills the Bank of France have in their strong Box, is evident; froth the I a tterpart of • • 'he first clieie - of the resolution:, bi which they de lermine to pay 500,000 frtinci, or 5e20,000 a day• sum will be increased in proportion as the 'realizing of the Bills shall permit; ,but without specifying any particular, time or proportion.-- -It must be evident to the Meanest understanding, that had those Bills, at short date (the new taxes were to be paid in December and Janttary), been discount_ ed for the accommodation of trade, recourse might ,`easily be had against individuals in case of non-pay-, ment ; and in the mean time such bills thmight fit to be discounted by a National Bank, might be cashedl again by priiate individuals with‘the greatest facility' especially in a case of emergenty. 'The Committee of the French Bank state besides, in their Repbri o. that "_the eagerness Which the holder., Vase notes :hew to come NO require payment of therm, would tend, if it continbed, to exhaust in a few day the cash of the Bank, though this cash amounts to a larger sum than private Banks (Banque! de circulation)haie in reservek in Cash." This was precisely the case with the calm d'Ercornytte, at the breaking out of the French Revo. lution ; nor is it the only corresponding symptom of decay in the new system which we hate observed, ;---The Committee, in theirreport, also notice a most ‘nrious fact, and well worthy the attention of those `ivho contend that the preciotis metals are the ststodards 'Of value , ---" that at a moment when gold obtains a cosi:filtrable premium, it' were employed without restric tion in the payment of the nbte, this mode of pay- Mint would only render the draining of the cash more rapid, without any advantage to circulation ; since experience proves that gold disappears when it gets out tif the hands of the rtioney , changersb" Gold bears a high premium in this country to be exported into France, and bears a high premium in that Coun try also, whereit ;n4cTeilly disappears: 'Mira points out one of the principal catises (be: sidei the want of supplies from America) of the tear city of the precions Metals in Europe.

The next iernark.,'";:e a:l;4e to Which We would di feet the attention Of o';: Realer% is the Proclamation of the Municipal Body which 66 with consent of the higher autirbrities" posted op in that city.— It affords room for much merry remark.

Proclamation is to se.. c eondhis /61PElitAL MA#STY'S invitation to the" Lads oaf Paris" to volunteer,into the Young Guard. Rather impertinent in them; to be sure, to suppose they have . 420111 influence than therEursasiy. However, they have also another object in view; which is to thrbw sotne ideas about the terratatid peace. They say they must preserve the honook which they have re ceived from their ancestors, and the limits which Nature has assigned to their. Why could they not -have placed their honour and their ( limits OR the same footing ?—why not take both as they were en joined by their ancestors ? Nature is a slipperriott Of term.; and natural -limits seem to confuse their brains as Much now as natural rights did formerly. What kind of honours, 'we would ask, did Counts CHAPTAL, LACEPEDE, and FONTANES receive from their ancestors ? Where were they born—in what ken nel did the strumpet goddis: of Reison find them rolling, when she ycleped them Citizens ?•--True, say their admirers—:they were. not Gentlernen 4 birth ) but they acquired gentility by their conduct at the glorious' Revolution, and have acquired titles of fro_ nour from the living fountain of all honour, that pa. ragon of men of honour, NAPOLEON BONAPARtE!..

November, and coet.‘, a:imitated the following particulars of her capture: I.sa Finns touched at the island of Fernandez Noronha to seater, where.sh, learnt that, about a month 'reel.' oils, the Congress had anchored tht.re for supplies, in company with a British sloop of..war, which she had , ciaptured, itsppoied to: be the Sares,r.arz, belongin g to the Windward Island atatioa, and remained ten days, when thEy proceeded on a cruizei and that on the following day the lkozrartoattut frigate, of 40 gulls; Captain Fyrtz, also called there, and, on re. f;eiving intelligence of ,the sailing of ,the Congress, mediately slipped her cables, and went in quest of the enemy. On the 2d ult. la Pique each ored in the har bour of Pernambucco, where she was inforniEd that an American frigate, said to fife the Congress had been captured off that port by a British one § in sight of the shore, a short time preiious,,and that they had both proceeded for. England. We also, learn, through the same channel, that intelligence' had been received at Barbadoes that the Essex American frigate, on her return from the South Seas,.had been chiced by a British frigate in to the port of Lagnira, on the Spanish Main s where she was closely blockaded. 11 The Carthagenian privateer schooner Cartha gene, of •one long 18-pounder on a pivot, and two 12-pounders, with a complement of 54 Men, *is , „taken by tit beats of the Sappho - , .undei con& ..Mand of Lieut.

With resprt to the •capture of the CONGAS/1S Ame rican frigate, no such intelligence has reached the Ad. roiratty, and the report is not believed there. The.

This is the same officer who was taken prisoner in Nov. 1803, when belonging to the ExPeatmENT sloop, fitted out by Sir St&iar SMITH, and commanded by Captain, then Lieutenant HANCHRT, and which de--; • 'fended hermit - for three days and nights against the enemy's troops, although aground nearly a rpile from the beach, in Holland, and only manned with eleven men and the above two officers, both of whom, after being prisoners 17 days, made - their escape. Lieute nant DALTELL was afterwards 'Lieutenant of the RATLER sloop; when attacking and boarding a French lugger off St. Vklery, he received IS wounds in the - head and bkck, and was left for dead on her decks: Ile has since been a prisoner at Verdun. • By the same cartel which brought him over, letters have been received from an- intelligent Correspondei t -in France, and we have nn doubt btit ere this the Allies are in possession of Lyons. Our Curreipon dent describes the people of France ai most anxious for a general Peace. BONAPARTE is collecting an immense army at —, 40 leagues from Pins, wheit kis supposed he will make a desperate stand. Pro visions were rising rapidly in price ; and uur prisoners at Verdun were about to be removed is consequence of the advance uf the Allies. The mortality in the French army is described as excessive daring ;be lust ' oamiiiiign in Germany, and it is even thought that ti the loss by the sword and by sickness exceeded that at ' Moscow by the frost. Three temporary hospitals were erected at Verdun, and 50 or 00 of the Frerch died daily in them. Orders had been sent toisurn the fleet at Antwerp rather than let it fall into tia bands of the Dutch or English. 1 1 1 .• ! -, - ,--2 ' •mi -, . • . • • -ye& • • ... • • I ~Yxw"• , • I ►: _ , `V. s r~
