IMTORTANT COMMUNICATION. Fr:day, at 12 tklock, was the time appointed by the Earl of Live:peel .and the Chancellor-of the Eseliequer for an interview with " the Merchants, .Backers, and Holders of 5 per Cent. Stock." The anti-room was ..crawded to auffocatien, and it was nesrly half-past P.: before .the room in which the .111ini:ters were, was opened. The Earl of Liverpool *then said, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer and valid the meeting, for the purpose of communicating the ititcutitins of Government res-: Teutitig ae transfer of the Z, per Cents.—he would -read the- .priiposiiion over to the company, and he weul.l afterwards deliver it to the Governor of the THE NATIONAL REGISTER Bank, who was present, to be made as public as pos sible. He begged, however, to premise, that the meeting was not called with a view to promote dis cussion, but simply to hear the proposal of Govern ment.—Lord Liverpool then read as follows: ". new Stock of 4 per Cent. to be created, the interest of which to be payable on the sth January and sth July, and not to be paid off before the sth January, 189.9—ia which Stock 1031. to 'be given for every 1001. of 5 per Cent. The first dividend on the new Stock to be payable ou the sth January, 5•23. Books to be opened at the Bank of England from Monday the 4th of larch, to Saturday the IGth of March, for the purpose of receiving the names of such parties as dissent from this arrange ment, and every one who does not so signify his dis ' sent, to be held as acceding to it—but those parties who may be out of the United Kingdom to be allowed till the Ist of June to signify their dissent, and to a more distant period if out of Europe. The dividends on the 5 per Cents. to be paid up to the sth July, 182'2, at which time the paying off the Stock of such as dissent, to commence in numerical order, as they appear on the books, and to be conti nued at such times and i❑ such manner as Parlia ment shall direct." After having read this document a second time, the Earl of Liverpool said, (in answer to a gentle man who had no wish to "promote discussion," but was anxious to know how trustees were to act who had 5 per Cents. standing in their names), that the Act of Purl iament would contain a clause authorizing such trustees to exercise their judgment, and indem nifying them from any consequent suit at law. The Earl of Liverpool and the Chancellor of the Exchequer then left the room, and the meeting dis persed. The proposed reduction of the interest of the Five per Cent. Stock cannot be justified by anything less than a quilib!e, and if Ministers were brought in a body before the Insolvent Debtors' Court, they would certainly be remanded, for having given a preference to a part of the public creditors. By way of elucidation, take any one period, and it will be found that THE RELATIVE PRICES 01 STOCK HAVE BEEN VERY NEARLY EQUAL TO THE RELATIVE IN TERESTS-RMI it would be just as fair for the S per Cents. to 'he paid off at 601. fur every 100:., as for the 5 per Cents. to be paid off at par, above which most of the present holders have bought in. As to the bond being discharged by the payment of the par price, a justification of the measure is like the keeper of a gaming-table returning the amount staked, to a fortunate gambler, and telling him he has no right to grumble, for he had got back again all he advanced. Besides, we might very well cau tion the holders of the 3 and 4 per Cents. as to the precedent established—we might remind them of the fable of the carpenter, who went into a woad, and requested of the House of Commons-of-Trees permission to take far himself simply a handle for his axe—the handle was granted at once, and the whole wood was felled by the aid of the thotghtless bion. If Government, determined to adhere to their expensive and unnecessary establishments, find an act of roguery necessary to suppm theta, let them act impartially—the funded debt, to make use of round numbers, we will take at 900 millions, the 5 per Cents. at 150 millions, the robbery to be com mitted upon the public craditor at one million and a half per auttum—if, then, the funded property must submit to any breach of faith at all, let the 5 per Cents. bear their proportion, and let the other Stocks do the same; or in c.:.:ra words, as the 5 per Cents. constitute one sixth of the debt, let them be saddled with one sixth of the diminution of income, but not made the sacrifice to the interest of the holders of :3 and 4 per Cent. Stock. The accounts received on Thursday from the South of Ireland, consist of details of various out amongst them an attack on the barracks of Listowell, in which a small body of military were stationed. The insurgents condurted themselves in a most daring manner, but they were repulsed with loss. A detachment of ten soldiers who were within hearing of the firing, promptly hastened to the assistance of the military, but in attempting to cross the river three of them were untimtunAdy drowned. The insurgcntss, it is said, appeared re gularly drilled, and acted systematically. Monday se'nnight a numba of the deluded peasantry went to the demesne of Mr. Courteney's agent, where several ploti4lis were at work, and ordered the ploughmen to desist, who obeyed the command.— On Thursday night following the Whiteboys second time visited Water Castle, and entirely de molished the house. STOCK EXCOANGE.—Three o'clock.—The Ra.• tunda has been crowded wish country people who are selling Navy Stock, the produce of which is chiefly invested in Co isols, but not a few take away their money. If the enormous sums which the Mi nister's pain will throw into Foreign Stock, and the number of persons who will carry their capital to other countries, are considered. it becomes very questionable whether the real saving will amount even to one-fourth of the sum gained by a reduction of the interest upon funded property. 'ram the present temper of the fundholdem, as far as it can be ascertained, it seems quite probable that many mil lions will disappear that way The stockholder -xho had 1001. in the Five per Cents. will now receive 841. Every description of Foreign Stock has risen. Spanish Bonds are at this moment done as high as 60 to 604, and were it not fin. the dread of fbrgeries (it being believed that several forged Bonds are in the market), they would have been still higher.— Consols -& per Cents, 981 —Navy 5 per Cents, 1031 —Spanish Old Bonds, 59k —Ditto New Bonds, 601 —Danish, 85 —Prussian, 881 i. Gibraltar papers to the Ist inst. arrived yesterday morning. They supply same details on Spanish affairs, the general tenor of which has been pre viously known. The servile rebellion at Navarre is stated to be at an end. Such of the insurgent leaders as are not in custody have fled into France. The reported pacification between the Porte and Persia, and the rumour of the death of the Persian Prince, who:n it was said was found dead under suspicious circumstances in his tent, are now posi tively denied in some %veil informed foreign journals. By a recent decree of the Spanish Cortes, all Spanish vessels employed in the slave trade are to be forfeited, and the owners, fitters -out, master :=, and ofliceis, condemned to ten years' labour on the publi:.: works. All foreigners entering Spanish p , ,r:s with slaves on board shall be liable to the same re• nalties, and all slaves fiaind on board shall be st.t free. ._ _ . . In Bath and its neighbourhood persons arc now offering brandy and hollands for sale at low prices, for the purpose of laying infJrniations against the purchasers. Two informations of this nature have lately been heard at the Guildhall, and the parties fined in 1001 and costs. The Board for victualling the Navy is to be new modelled, for which purpose a patent is now passing the great seal, and the whole routine of the office is to undergo a revision, particularly in the exami nation of and passing the accounts of l'ursers. The number of clerks in this ollice is consideaahly ro duced, upwards of thirty having been dischar;ed during the last week, some of whom it is sail, %vi:l be allowed small pensions. The Duchess of Montfort (the consort of Jerome Buonaparte) has had the good luck to gain a cause that was brought before the tribunal of Paris. She recovers by the verdict an estate worth 461.,000f. nearly 20,0001. sterling. A very numerous meeting of farmers took place at the Swan Inn, Chichester, Mr. Stephen NVoold ridge in the Chair. About 200 persons, as ma::y the room could contain at the tables, dined. r dinner the farmers, who were not able to find room at the Swan, came from the other market thinners I.:r the purpose of hearing the discussion which was ex pected. us the causes, extent, and remedy of the present distress under which the agricultural 1104 suffered.
