Vos'tqcript- LONDON, MONDAY, JA 1 ! 5 .`:::11Y 24. Three o'Guck, p. --mm-- DRtITH OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUKE OF KENT. This morning General lgoore, arrived at eight o'clock at Carlton House, in a post chaise and font, bringing the melancholy tidings of the death of his Royal Hight-less the Duke of Kent yesterday inorttinE at 10 o'clock at his cottage, Sidtnouth. We have received the French Papers of Wed , nesday . and-Thursday, and private letters from Paris written on Tuesday. The latter state, that the Mi nisters, Count Decazes and De Serres, arc still indisposed, and unable to attend to public business. Tile Cabinet of the Thuilleries are dismayed at the resistance ,given to their favourite project for altering t hal,aw of Elections, and are afraid to bring forward . - the business again until they make some concessions calculated to insure success in the Chamber of De puties, when the question at a future. period comes under discussion. - For this purpose it is to be de- . lerred until next June, when the Ministers hope to ,find the Chamber more pliant, should there not in cthe. interim be a change in Administration, which is very likely, as Ministers cannot retain their places with only a paltry majority office. The Paris Jour. nals are cautiouain commenting on the state ofaffairs - in Spain, but they admit enough to shew that there is much insubordination in the army intended to have been.embarktsLat Cadiz for the subjugation of the Patriots in the Spanish Colonies. -It is pos sible this mutinous disposition . proceeds from two . causes, a dislike to the service, and arrears of pay, ...vhich cannot be discharged in the present exhausted state of the Treasury. The mutiny has been very sarious, and the country is likely to swarm with ..Guerillas, whose numbers will increase until they . .become seriously formidable to the Government. The l'russian Edict against the introduction or transmission of certain foreign newspapers has been klt in Germany, none of the Netherland Journals having reached Frankfort since the 14th. We re /juice to find that France is in a most enviable state of tranquillity, because in that kingdom the freedom , of the press has nut been assailed, and the people have the benefit of free and liberal discussion. The Mi .nisters of Congress at Vienna continue their confe rences; but whether fur the benefit of the Continent or not, will hereafter appear, It is reported in the Paris papers, that the Kings of Spain and Portugal have chosen fbe King of France as arbitrator to adjust their differences. THE KING -It is with deep regret•we state, ,that reports were yesterday in circulation at Winds •sur, that his Majesty was seriously indisposed. It is more than probable that the present severe mealier may have produced alarming effects on a coastitutiou which must be gradually yielding to the infirmities of great age. The Duke of York on Tlursday arrived at Windsur, and in the evening went to Outlands. •On Saturday his Royal High- MSS returned again to the Castle, where he alt pt. This continued attendance of the Duke on his Royal atid venerable Parent has, probably, given rise to the rumours to which we have alluded. It islaseertained by tho Leila at the Custom louse Meat in the year ending the sth of Iniuury last the enormous quantity of 26,799,3U9 bushels of foreign corn and grain were imported duty-tree. The King of Sweden has issued an ordinance, prol.ileting the Jews Irons exercising, within his dominions, any who:mile or retail trade, without having served an apprenticeship fur the time pre et:6l,W, by law. An article from Stockholm of .the 28th ult. atates, Oat Lord Sirangford had presented a note to the Swedish Court, relative tu the commercial relations of Greut Brilain with Norway ; and to certain seizures recently made in that cuuniry of merchandise claimed by English suljeata. Persons who have friends in India may be glad to learn, that, by a recent regulation, newspapers can be sent to the East 'tidier, upon the previous pay ment of one penny for each i to be tilled and meted as newspapers for the Englih posts. -~; s Tilt NATIONAL REGISTEit. Pi!" PCITLIC FUNDS. The settlement of the account at the Stock Exchange, on Tuesday lasi, produced a trial of strength to tween both parties, and stratagems were fteely resorted , with the view of deceiving each oilier co ncerning the real • state of the market ; an,d a mong these were fictious sales, and purchases/0 a large extent, the nioney having been lent in sonic instances for the purpose, in order to con ceal the real operator. The speculators for a rise have lutherto been completely triumphant ; the funds, some slight reverses excepted, has ing continued buoyant and proaressively iti.prot lug the whole week. The abuir , dance of money, and the di f fi cult y of employing it, %%Inch are, if posaihle, greater than ever, give great advantage to their transactions. Exchequer Bills, ut consequence, which, have Men lately at a dtacninit of ten shillings, are now at a premium of four shillings. This abundance wascobvions too in the eighth payment on the last loan, which was paid oil .Friday without pro ducing the smallest impression. Three defau tees have been &elated at the Stock Exchange, on transactions of inierior consideration. The Cotnntitice .have lately visaed some new law on the stilixt of defaulters, which will tend greatly to increase die difficulty of readmission, after an exposure of that iiiittur, and .by -rendcring the members more cautious in n benr speculations, will tend rqualiyin thesectiiiiv of their own body and of the public. Tile highest prier of the week in Consuls for the account w is on Saturday morning at theopetting of die market, when the gig/station avas 6s,L, but .some unusually heavy sales of stock fur mom y, and for Mr.ttluesilay, which is the first open transfer day, takingplacr, a sub. s /ieta decline of .j per cent. occurred, and the. transactions of the day closed at 681, and ;hough not so low as oil Wed/les/1.1, the market lett off extremely heavy. Part ~of eltia depression, however, may be ascribed to the day, 00 transfer being made on Saturday, which, as the abundance of mousy is not then in full' operation, is generally is levied by the spsculators for a fall, when they seek to itiAsaii impression on the funds. That party net er wanted a reinforcement so much as at - the present moment, a great majority of speculators being s anguine in favour of a risk.. At five o'clock on Saturday afternoon the mail coaches from places to the north of Newcastle-upon- Tyne, and also those from Manchester and Chester, had not arrived at the Post-office. As this precluded all possibility of ~delivering the letters brought by them, notice was given, in the. evening, that they would be delivered till three o'clock in the *Remo .n of yesterday, on application at the window .of the Post-office in Lombard-street. After the .i'suing of the notice, the Chester mail arrived at eight o'clock - The report of the guard was, that the roads from the otheritide of Kettering, owing to the great fall of snow, were almost unpas slat. Exygetsivz Ft itE.—Aboui half past one o'clock yes terday imnrititig, an alarming lire broke out on the pre mises of Messrs. Thomas and Co. porter merchants, Thames Street. which rapidly communicated to adjoin ing houses in the occupaiansof Mr. Matthews, brush maker, Mt. Field, tallow-chandler, Mr. Field, drug broker, the very extensive premises of Mr. Garratt, tea dealer, and a private house tenanted by a Mr. Holland; the Hones then took the direction of the premises ut Messrs.Ronalds and Coventry, the whole of which, tog , t ler with two houses in Swan Lane, anal .Bridge ward charity-school, were entirely consumed. The roof of„Fisiimongers'-hall sustained considerable damage, and great apprehensions were entertained for the safety ce of this elegant edifi. At about half past four the roofs of M .Childe's and Mr. Matthew's houses fell in with a Aremeoclous-orash, and greatly tore:ill the II ,axes. The -iron manufactory office, on the Ike his of the thdateit a il surrounded by Nitres, tint escaped without injury.

WAKEFIELD .SESSIONS.—On Friday last, at the General Quarter Sessions of the Peace, held by adjournment at Wakefield, for the West Riding of the County of York, the Grand Jury returned a trite bill for misdemeanour against J. Mitchell, a gainst whontue indictment had , been preferred for directing abusive and seditious language against the: Prince Regent and the two Houses of Parliament, at a Ituditad Reform Meeting, held on the 4th of October last, at Skircoat Moor, near Halifax ; and for then and there using expressions tending to excite the people to partittun the estates of the great nobility ; and, among others, of Eurl Fitxwillium It will be recollected that Mr. S. Wortley referred to these latter expressions, without rutting who had used them, more diali once during the lust sitting et: Parliament, us inditatting the nature of the views entertained by the Reformers of York shire ; and that, lie did not awe to hold them up to public notice, until he was reminded by Mr. Brougham, tliiit to tell one half the truth was just as 11Eta..611 as to juin to it one half of another awry anti that therm! inference would is: very difl'crent frost that which Mr. Wortley had drawn, when it was known that it was Mitchell. w l sio listed theni, At the same time it was added, that Mitchell was the huliviaual who had introduced the infamous .spy Oliver to the Reformers of Yorkshire, and was more than suspected of acting in that capacity him. self. The present indictment does taut •origin.te with Government,. or of any of its' gents, but with those who are politically hostile to the individual members composing it. .It will remain, therefore, to be seen, whether Ministers will take this prose cution upon themselves, or, by not doing so, remain liable to the imputation of wishing to screen a mnau like Mitchell. fil a T ri eli .
