When these leases ex pired in 1807, such was the demand liAr Lln 1, and such the idea that the war was intertninabl., that hr actually, at that period, let what iu 1788 was 1,0001 a year for 3,0001 a year fin. from the )ugh prices obtained during the war for agrienittral prduce, for the first seven years she rents uere paid without a murmur ; but in 1814, and since, Its the prices tell, the farmers begun to complain, and George has been under the necessity of making alutements; yet he .till receives muck Inure than his original rental of 1,0001. a year, besides the savings of what his income has been he. wad his brother's. How, then, does this account stand in comparison with his less fortunate brother, the fuoilliolder Air the year 1814, Seven ykarh• inertose of 1500 front 1785 to 1800...40,5n0 Ikven yeao.' din., of 1,250 front Um w 1807... 8.780 seven years ditto. of 1,000 from 1807 to 1814-14.000 ..r.21;,150 and having had the prudence to invest this increase in the (title, he has a better income by 3001. s year than his elder bother from the fluids, besides his estate, the • ..tital of which is more than :in 1793. —Wit t is the inference from these facts! The rase of James is, the case of the fundholder, who is no better off than lie was iu 1793 ; and CHI) he purchase any one oracle from the agricultnral interest at a cheaper rate now than he could have dune then ?. Taxation and tither articles of expense press eipitaily on the fund and lisudholder. Does James receive more thin 1,0001. a. year now f'om his funds? and aloes not George receive, nutwitli. standing his . abatements, more dam he did in 1795? If he were to allow a iebtet ion of 50 per cent, his stwome wouldwill he 1.5001 a year."

We have not yet heard whether lie has been honoured with any tAcial or decided communication fun' Mr. Canning on the sul t ject of his mission ; but we believe we ni .y state that Mr. Willuck will not re turn to Persia: It is gill a matter of deliberation who is t' lie his successor, and whe , her he is to he a Charge d'Affaires, or an Ambassador. We lope dud care will be taken that the choice do not fall on any num who may have rendered himself odious to ttie Persian Court, and whose appointment would thervkire widen the breach, which it is the abate (aud surelyit must be the wish) of the British Ca binet to close. The arrival of two expresses Saturday morn ing from Paris, with the Monileur of Thursday, amtaining copies of the respective Notes delivered by the Austrian, Rtasian, and Prussian Ministers. created a strong sensation in the City. As the Language of the Notes appears to have been less objectionable than was surmised, the subsecitent: departure of the Ambassadors is inconsistent with probalsility—yet, at a later period of the day, it was confidently stated, that nut only the Ministers of Austria. Russia, and Prussia, hut also of France, bad all (pitted Madrid. The ineuence on the Funds WI , I felt immediately, though to no great extent—a decline of three quarters per Cent. The rrevalent opinion is, thut the Freucb Ambassador only, had left Madrid—but unless the definitive of the Cortcs have been received, this cannot but be cunsidered as improbable.

By this measure the letters from Madrid, which are regularly, when the mail come* through France, 14 days on the road,: will now arrive in eight days, it being engaged by the par ties who contract for the conveyance of thcletters„ that the voyage , from Falmouth to Curunna shall not occupy more emit four days; the remaining time being divided between the land journey front Madrid tot Corunna, and that from Falmouth to London. This new arrangement. has given the greatest satisfaction to the merchant* corresponding with Spain, who will now receive their remittances in sal cases, six days earlier than usual, and with much greater certainty than before, escaping the double Aunger of- interrup•ion on the Spanish fron tier, and of inspections by the agents of the French isist-etace.• Trio parties contracting with the Spa nish Ouverniseut are said to be men of long expe rience in the manageamett of steam packets from • Edinburgh to Lontluti, and therefore fully able lo estimate how far the perfisrmeece of the voyage by sea may be reduced to certainty Accounishave been received from Aleppo to the 19th of November, at which time the shocks of the earthquake were still frequent, and some of them violent.
