Li proportion as the dowcstic occurrences this week Lave been interesting, the for,lgniirtel4ence has been vr.important. 'The' Freuelt Papers are, indeed, barren of every thing • but somniferous debates in the Chamber of Deputies, .and laughter-moving prceecilin7s in the Courts of Justice. The dsscussions upon the Budget were still proceeding, but had taken quite a technical tr. n, after exhausting the amusing topic ,of the Army - of Occupation and its ever-to-be-lamented evils. It was expected that the, •adinstment of the' Liquidations was fini:lted—it is .saicl,•satisfactorily to all parties. The principle object of interest ir, 'these papers is, of euz;r4e, that never ending and unintelligible trial of the as-:tb:.itts of Fualdes, which proceeds in the usual way, us it suits Madame 3lanson's humour ; we shall be ag'reeably disappointed if the whole truth is elicited under a month. we hope there is no appeal from the dceisior.t of the Uoart now sitting, or we shall be quite in despair. !,nother trial at Paris has engaged the Nub ile attention, that cf M. Piece, for the publication of Lerd.4tanhopo's sraoch. The King's Advoecze having 111/1 NATION.I3, prayed fir a ininiliment 'of three months'imprisonment ::ad a fir:f., of .twogu.;;Lec, the defendant craved time to :teeencp, and tae twial was.aJjourned far eight ~; •~'~. nis tlef!ci!niry of foreign -rews is amply compen satcd 'thc lutercst of tie tr.msactions at home. It in ant ne,:usstiry to invite a:t:ntion to the debates in both Houses, partiralarly ttr wu have ulready made some observations Jr. the :rall;cct iu our Griot article. It be - seen that the Dttelicsz. - of - Cumberland has rctnnied her acknowledgments to the house of Com mons, fur the dowry assigned to her, in very handsome and becoming terms llcgr:Ating that the atfair was carried to the extent it was, I'Ve agree with a contem porary ir. thinkir.g that the seoaer it is nJw dropped the b: tier. The business, however, of the rr..lst real im7ortance to the country is the financial plan - which :las bean promulgated by the Chanrellor of the E n.cll ‘; 1.: cr. The. lending particulars cf the original proposal, will be found in *mother part of our paper. The object of it was to raise the sum of C,000,0001. by Creating a new stock of 33- par cent. which would be effected by each subscriber paVing into the Bank 111. fur every 1001. S per cents sntsctibe:l, so that to procure the above sum, it weuld be requisite that the subscriptions should amount to 100,000.0001. S • Per • cents. . Thi s plan did nut meet with the approbation that was •an ticipatLd, and the subscriptions were comparatively in tigniileant, which iteluced the Minister to make sane alterations in the terms, mid on Frillay Mr. Ijase. announcel, that the books would be cirscd when 3,000,0001. cf money should be obtained—a modifi- cation of some importonce, cortainly. There were other chouges also, whioh, as they more imme.liately concerned the intereLt of the Subscribers, were produc tive of great benefit. The amount of each subecriptiou is reduced from 1,0001. to 20001.—the periodfur delivering Exchequer Bills, is extunled from the Ist of August to the ;2 Bth of November, by instillmentr, and the privi lege of funding Exchequer Bills is eulargedfrom 92 to 100 per Cent. on the amount of 3 • per Cent. Stock converted. As this held out x• clear prospect of advan • tage to the gentle=n of the Stock Exchange, they immediately rushed forward to make their subscriptions, and on the same day, nearly 20,000,000 of Stock were written in. This eagerness continued during the whole of yesterday, when the influx of subscribers was so great, they were obliged to be admitted by twenties to the Cashier's cace. The plan may therefore be considered as completely successful, it :s said, beyond what the Minister anticipated. The change of feeling that took place in a few hours is amusing--the gentlemen at first did not, think their interest had been sualciently attended , to, shook their heads, and walked another way ; but a few softening words from Mr. Has., rendered it quite another mat ter; as the images of a phantasmagoria are hissed, when not very distinct, but when rendered clear and bright are hailed with shouts of acclamation. Upon the plan itself, we shall not now offer any comments, as Mr. Vansittart has given notice that he shall bring it for ward in the House tc-morroti►, when it will be sure to undergo the fullest investigation. The Motions of Lord Lauderdale and Mr. Tierney on Financial affairs, are both postponed, so that, the er.su:ng week promises to be " full of mattkr." The official accounts of the late enangements in Itdia having been received at the India House, were yester day morning puLlished in a supplementary Gazette.— We regret thnt we have only room fur the sul.:stance of the dispatches : The £rst is-from Mr. Elphinstone, the British Resi dent at .Poonah, dated Nov. Gth. It briefly recapitulates the causes which led to the rupture with the Peishwa. It appears that his Highness had made great military preparations, and occupied a threatening Fx.ltion in the neighbourhood of the British camp, ar.d had used the most unremitting endeavours to corrupt the fidelity of our native troors. The seconA AispatA is ..from Li , nit. Col. Burr, dated Camp, at Kirklr, Nov. (7. It contains the account of an engagement with the Pcishiva's fcrccs on the sth Nev. The enemy's cavalry was compctcd at 15,000 ; his in fintry at eight. At the very moment when we were preparing for action, they commenced a brisk cannranule from their centre, while the inaves of cavalry succeeded in getting into cur rear. The bravery of our men, how ever, enabled them,:though under circumstances of great difficulty, , to best f, the assailants. who left many men and horses en the grr.::l, Th ,:ithdri.v: to a distance; 11110ki APRIL 111 and I.:ever earard.td .arcpetitition of their attack. Only one European Officer, Lieut. Falconer, of the 2d Lath. Ist regiment, is among the wounded. The loss of the enemy is cotrpu! - etl..et between three And four hundred killed and wounded. After describing his route he states— " The enemy's horse conttantly surrounding, my line and camp, compelled me to - thorten my marches and to prcsave the closest order, and I could not reach .Poops, in couseptence, IL:rem the ereaing of the 13th. In aittrazion 1 mul;', not omit to report the gallant exerti.nis of Capt. Spitler, with übimt 400 of the auxiliary hor se , who ::_::cezied in attaeliat:g aticl ,Ickuting a .niore nu. merote; tritly of.thc enemy's horse. •• Un the evcnirg Of the t 6th, all the corps, after providing for the .camp and the position of Kirky, were formed in divisions of attack but the enemy hte.-- ing h takett alarm, in the course of the night precipitately drew oft, leaving a great part of his camp standing, and considerable quantities of amunition on the field. " His highness the Peisliwn is said to have fiul about two o'clock in the teeming of the i The mewl.. succeeded in carrying off all his guns but one; and had no means of pursuing him beyond: the fire of my artili..ry. "The enemy having thus disappeared, I lost no time in recrossing the river •to occupy the most favourable ground for bombarding the city ; but•every interest and policy, re; well as considerations-el humanity, made me most anxious to unite my enertiens with those of Mr. El_ phi :stone, to avert titedestruction which now threatened it, either by botubarclment or storm : and the enemy har ing luckily fled in •an opposite direction, and lea, the defence of the city to only a few hundred Arabs, these were, by Mr. Elphinstone's influence, prevailed upon to withdraw ; and I hare the pleasure to acquaint your Excellency cur „guards took peaceable possession of the city iti the 'course of the 17th, whrti the British fir. WILT heisted on his llighness's palace, under a royal salute. I shall be unavoidably detained here, aiding in Ott: establishment of order and military security to the city, till the 9.2 d inst. when I propose marching agum upon the enemy in his retreat to the southward.° The subsequent d:spatchcs merely relate to tha pursuit of the l'eLlivca, anti: a few skirnaishes, in wIli_!1 the British trovs were successful. Mn. CANNIN.I.--../ pamphlet having been eine:- lated, unrter blank covers, in which Mr. Canning is censured in a mode which he c:►nsiders to be expressivp 61 .personal malignity in the author, Mr: C. has ad dressed a letter to the nameless author at-his 'uool:lel ler'', in which is the following pa.ssage:—'f To you, Sir, whoever you Islay be, I address myself thus di rectly, for the pia:peed expressing to you my opinion, that—you are a-liar and a slanderer, and want courage only to be an assassin.",. Lorl Glent worth has declared.his intention of offer ing to represent Limerick. The Russian Grand Duke Michel is coming to Eng land by the way of Vicuna and Munich. Hit; lmlu•- rial Highness was expected to be at the farmer place about the beginning of this month. He has a good help on his way—,t credit of 200,000 couples on a banking house at Vienna. The Emperor of Russia has advanced 180,000 roubles out of 300,000, the sum destined for the e3tublisliment and support of Conventual Schools, or Seminaries, at tached to the Monasteries in Russia. lt ;sum - let-stood in the City, that the Spanish Consul lately paid into the hands of Mr. Harman ;250,0001. on account of the-Russian-Government. The Carlisle Journal gives the following account of the spirit of emigration pr:valent in that quarter : We understand that tot fewer than 14 families are preparing to emigrate from Caldewgnte alone, one &. the outskirts of this city. Durin g the weed: a great number of men, women, and children pass - od through here for port Aunan, thence to proceed across the At lantic; and it is conjectured, that the vessel which will convey them, contained upwanls of 40 families from this ncighhersLood.. and the adjacent borders of Scot. land. In the last vessel which sailed from Dumfries to America, 165 individuals voluntarily expatriated themselves to avoid the extremity of human distress which assailed them at home."
