LONDON: SUNDAY, APRIL 152, 1818. TtrE French Papers received during this week are down to Monday last. "A hey contain little intelligence ,f interest, being chiefly occupied with the. discussions in the Chain - I)er of Deputies, and the trial for the . marikr of Fnal ts. The subject that has engaged the attention of the Charnß.r is the Report on Finance, as wasfor esecn, has given rise to some violent ha. .:alzuc.s. There is a sing u1;:r unanimity prevailing on THE NATIONAL REGISTER. the subject—all the Gentlemen being of opinion that the Array of Occupation is a nuisance, which ought to be removed--to that one point all their orations tend; there ail the m*:•chief is conceMered—they can see no other source of evil but that ; and if it 'be rot withdrawn, they must itievitzbly be ruined. Tais is the result on which they ali agreed; at the same time, not one of them bestows a thought upon what is due to the rest of Europe ; on the cause which placed them there, and the motives which continue them ; the past appears to be totally forgotten : but we shail be much surprised and disappointed if their outcries should cause the Powers to forget the period when theseexclaimers anddechtimerspossessed the power to op pre::3, and in what mann( r they used it. After several :lays patient or rather impatient attention (it the uproar that prevailed, is to be deemed extraordinary in a French Legislative body) to these declamations, the Chamber very wisely resolved to put an end to the dis cussion, only allowing the reporters their privilege of reply. With respect to the :if - fair of Fualdes, .we have only to observe that the trial of the assassins Is proceeding ; the matter is so wrapt in intricacy, and so garnished with mock heroics, that it is not very easy to under stand it; and we cannot help expressing our surprise that in the Courts of Justice of an enlightened nation, such ridiculous proceedings should be suffered to take place, as are rf cited in the papers. Madame Manson is the principal performer, and con ducts herself just like a tragedy queen, while the Court sits quietty by, watching her starts and recording her ejaculations, which seem to be of more consequence than her evidence. It is said in 'the private Letters, that the affiiir of the liquidations was to be terminated last Tuesday, and that it was then the intenticaa of the Duke of Wel. lington to proceed to London. An important Finan cial measure was to be proposed to the Chamber of Deputies last Monday, ",by M. Corvetto, the Minister of Finance, supposed to relate to the Bank of France. It is stated that all the attempts of the Allied Powers to reconcile the Courts of Spain and Portugal have proved unsuccessful. The principal domestic occurrence this week is the introduction of two important measures by the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, relative to the national cur rency. The first postpones the resumption of Cash-pay ments by the Bank of England for another yer.r—a cir cumstance we must regret, as we have daily evidence before us of the dreadful evils resulting from the ex. tended circulation of small notes. We could have wished that this postponement had not been deemed necessary, while we admit that the reasons assigned by Mr.Van sittart for it, are every way deserving of consideration. The other proposition of obliging the issuers of private notes, under five pounds, to deposit a sufficient security in the hands of Government, is not a novel suggestion. We think the regulation excellent, as, without casting any imputation upon Country Bankers, it must be ob vious that misfortunes are liable to occur, which in these cases, produce extreme •distress among the poor ; and it is undoubtedly the dety of every Government to prevent casualties of this description when they can do so, by such a general and unot t ieetionable enactment as that now proposed. We do not apprehend that any se rious opposition will be made to it, ncr that any re spectable Banker would hesitate in giving it his assent. If he were a man of humane and generous feelings,. he would rather rejoice in the idea that the poor would not be partakers in any calamity that might afterwards happen to himself. We do not exactly see why its operations should be deferred for two years—surely. one would have been amply sufficient for any arrangements that may be required. It will be seen by our Parliamentary Report, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer has totally disavowed all intentira of introducing Stock lichentures, as re perted. The debates of next week will, we have no doubt, be highly ;ford Lauderdale has a motion on Financial Affairs for Tilursday, and Mr. Tierney fir Friday, when these propositions will be fully discussed. Since writing the above, Paris Papers of Tuesday and Wednesday hir,t have been rcceiv.:d. The discussions in the Chamber of Deputies On the t;th and 7th are not very interesting. Or the latter Ct.:7, M. ItDy and M. 'A FRU, 12 Beugnot male their replies to the arguments of the dif ferent speakers who had participated in the debates upon the Budget. ; but no new information was afford ed. There is yet a long inquiry to institute into the different articles of the Law, and the various amend ments that have been proposed, the latter amounting to above a hundred. The first and second articles were adopted in the sitting, of Tuesday. Thirty-seven still remain to Le disposed of. A Cabinet Council was held on Friday at the Fo reign Office, at two o'clock, which was attended by the Earl of Westmoreland, the Earl of Liverpool, Earl Ba thurst, Earl Mu'grave, Viscount Sidrnouth, Viscount Castlereagh, Viscount • Melville, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Canning, Mr: Robinson, and Mr. B, Bathurst. The Council .sat till near four o'clock. An interesting explauation was given in the House of Commons, by Mr. Cannio,T, respecting the war in India. Mr. Howorth, put some questions to the Right Hon. Gentleman, founded exclusively - upon the intelii. genc.e which had been received through the Bombay Gazettes; and Mr. Canning -.:tated, it was undoubtediy true, that two, actions had been fought with the Nish wa's troops, and il!at in both, the tbrecs of the East India Company had been successful against superior numbers; but, it v•as, happily, not true., that the slaughter w:,s proportionate to the disparity of the force of the conflicting. , parties Government was not yet in posse. ion pi' the usual returns, but, as fir its he was intbrined, it did not i,ppea..7 that those conflicts had cost the life of a single Eurepe.;:n Glace:, and that nut more thon three Officers were wounded. It isg~n tr lly reported at the. 2ar, that Sir V.Gibbs, the Chief Justice of the Court of Cortrnon Plecs, will immediately resign his judicial :,eat, which is to be oc cupied by Sir R. Gifford, the present Solicitor Gene ral. Mr. Wetherell and Mr. Setjeant Copley arc each mentioned as his successor in office, br.t it is supposed that the latter Learned Gentleman• will be the person. The appointment of the Duke of Richmond to the offices of Captain General and Governoro; C.:nada and its dependences, will excite some stirprire, since these are inferior to one he held with so much credit in Ire land. Sir J. Sherbroke, the late Governor General, comes home is consequence of indisposition. The gal lant General hat suffered a paralytic stroke. Sir I'. Maitland, son-in-law to the Duke of Richmond, goes out as Governor of Upper Canada. PARIS, APRIL 3.—The bell , giverk• 1:7 the Duke of Wellington, yesterday, was, beyond contradintion, one of the most b.illiant, that has been seen, for a long time. Their Royal highnesses, Monsieur, Madame, the Duke of Angouleme, the Duke of Lerry, the Dowa ger Duchess of Orleans, the Duke, the Ditthess and Mademoiselle D7Orlean-, the Ministers, the ixinhassa dors and all the most distinguished personages of the Court and capital were FeFent at it. The ball was con tinued to a very late hoar. Their Royal and Serene Highnesses remained till two in the morning. M. Comte, whose magic had been called into service, for this fete, gave new instances of it, with the il lustrious company were much amused. A letter from Sierra 'Acre, dated January 25, forms us, that the Expedition for the d:szorery of the interior of Africa was then in the river Gambia, and was not likely to sail this Beason, as the rains woold soon commence. The command had devolved upon Lieutenant Gray, of the Royal African Ccros. Forty thousand pounds are supposed to have been expended upon this hitherto fruitless, though meritorious, expedi. Lion. Captain • Hagan, of the Colonial brig, has sent in two vessels, found with slaves on hoard. Ile had also ca:Lorcd two other vessels, one French, the other Americ:tn—the latter fur endeavouring to smuggle to. bacco into the colony. The authorized stmements of the revenue have ap peared.
