Ir has been very confidently reported during the past week, that it is the intention of government to continue the Bank Restriction Act for two years longer. The mere rumour of such a proceeding has produced consi derable sensation, although the appearance of the gold coinage some time ago, was looked upon with no very favourable eye, aud the expected abstraction of paper eonsiilered as an approaching inconvenience. The rea son assigned for this prolonged restriction is, that the course of exchange is against us, and that in Lome ence, a profit of tour per cent. is to be obtained by the export ofgold coin. Under such circumstances, it would certainly be highly imprudent to subject the ce•lntry to a repetition of those losses, which it has lung indured by the exportation of the precious metals.— Until, therefore, our armies arc withdrawn, until the eeessities of u;tr allies render for.2igni loans unnecessary, we deem it an act of prudence to restrain cash payments the country generally is too well satisfied as to the ..bility of the Bank, to bclkve that any other than )•rudential In Alves dictate this proceLding, though we (10.11. t not the party who so cuntidently anticipates the ruin of the country, will hail it as a certain indication et the approth hir.g fulfilment of their prophecies. American pai,crs received since our last, contain ac counts of tuihtary incvements, but little i.ccording with lanze age, cf the messagc. Large TTIF. N.VVIONAT.

In tile i louse of lt.presentatives on the Itith Dec. Mr. I larrison's motion for continuing the pensions to the v. P.ows ;mil orphans of those who wore killed or woundedin the late war, was carried with out a division. No French Pap:!rs arrived on Saturday. There are now three days' due. The boisterous weather which has prevailed during the greater part of this week, has prevented the toival arrivals from other parts of the Continent. The French papers present, at considerable length, the trial of M. Schear, befbre the tribunal of Correc tional Police, tier a publication, entitled, " The State of Liberty in France." The Government, considering the temper of the work which it prosecutes, does not appear to he actuated on this occasion by a very vin dictive spirit. The counsel Ibr the Crown was content e d with paying against the accused, three months' im prisonment, and a tine of two guineas." The Gazelle uf 7% . 4:1)1A', of the kith of December, contains a decree of the Kim; of the two Sirilirs, crea ting Prince Talleyrand, l)uke of Dino, with re:nail:der to his brother's heirs. This dignity may, perhaps, be designed as a compensation for the Neapolitan princi pality of Benevento, conferred upon hint by 'Nona parte, which M. de Tallevrand thought it right to re linquish soon after he - became a servant of Louis XVIII. In another part of our paper, eve have given, on the authority of the Mexican Gazette, the account of the capture of Miva, with t 25 of his followers, and the dispersion of his party, above ,400 strong. The fife of men taken with arms in their hands against the existing Government is not doubtful. But though we do not positively hear of Mina's execution, information of an official nature has been received, " that the foreign adventurers engaged in the insurrection in Mexico who had been taken with Mina, had all been shot as incen diaries, traitors, invaders of the public tranquillity of the province, and mercenary eiders and Ibmenters of rebellion against the Sovereign of Spain and the Au thorities of Mexico." This will surprise none: and it is from motives of humanity that we give the intelli gence the readiest circulation. British adventurers must be aware that, when once embarked in an enter prise of this nature, their Government can lend them no aid. We may csteetn their courage, and may pity the difficulties in which peace at home has involved them, but it is a desperate hazard, in a cause not their own, to which they expose their lives. Lonn SEFTON'S LETTEIL—The following letter from Lord Sefton to Mr. Waithman, the chairman of Mr. Hone's Committee, was accompanied by 100 gui neas towards the subscription now going on for that gentleman. We have before stated our opinion of Mr. one's conduct in suppressing the parodies ; we think he did wisely; but we cannot fall in with the opinion of a Morning Paper, that Mr. Hone had shewn his disapprobation of parodies. He did, indeed, express his determination, after the trial, not to write any more, and distinctly stated, that he would not again publish what he had written except as a part of his trial. Many have taken this as a good sign of Mr. Hone's returning sense of propriety ; for our parts we cannot help regarding it as a very skilful and effectual mode of advertising his trials, and we are rather disposed to believe, that that consideration, more than an abhor rence of parodies, dictated the proceeding. We would be sorry to impute any improver ti:eling on this sub jest to the noble Lord, whose letter we give below ; a bed of sicknees is usually a bed of repentance, and probably his Lordship chose to adopt this mode of expi ating some trifling errors which the calm of his cham ber gave him time to recollect. In doing so he has served a distressed fellow-creature, but we think it would have been quite as well, had he done it less os tentatiously, and without giving the world reason to suspect, that an mitrage upon religion, was agreeable to the feelings of a dying man Croatellt Hall, near Liverpool, Jan. 17, 1817.

An official abstract of the slave population of the island of Barbadoes satisfactorily proves, that a due at tention has been paid to the increase of that class, by the only lawful means ot adding. to its numbers. It ap rears that 'wady one third of the ptpulation are trout 11.) years downwards, and more than one half front 2t.) rears downwards. It is remarkable also, how small is the total number of Africans, compared with the whole of the inhabitants of Barbadoes ; the fort= attiounting to only 5,41,16; Ca:latter to 71,4j2. JAN. 10 COBBETT AND WOOLEIL Every limn who hat any attention to the career of William Cobbett, must have been struck by the practice which he has long indulged in, of pointing out curtain persons in this country, as tit to be, what Ins calls, " remembered" by the people. In the former numbers of his political pamphlet, we have had re peated lists of those uVortunalcs who have incurred the displeasure of this doughty champion of Jacobin. ism, and in the one published last week, we find one more added to the number. General Ackland, tin. the part which he took in suppressing the disturbances aiming the Luddites " ought to be remembered." Twice, in the same pa:nphlet, is this horrible incentive to as.. sassination repeated, tin- what else is meant by it but assassination ? In tinsner numbers he has told us that the day will come, when the people may be benetitted by " remembering" such and such a man. Thus murk. ing them down in his black list—in his bloody book of proscription, as victims fir the knife, should the hour of tumult which he so ea.:crly anticipates, ever arrive. %Veil may the persons, however, whom he calls his enemies lla•give him ; li'r his cuts anti his stabs at those whom he has desigt:iitea us his friends—..t those uho have laboured in the same vocation, are not less malignantly given. He gets into debt, and then pays his creditors by abusing them : he runs away and the political friend who dares hint at his cowardice is doom ed to feel the scalping knife of this barbarian. Among those who hinted at this cowardice was Mr. IVtioler, (the Black Dwarf) who thought, with many others, that Mr. Cobbett, in his flight, had shown more regard to his personal safety than to the interests of the great course in which he was engaged. drew fOrth mud: abuse fro:n the .SydnT of Long Island, which appeared a tew weeks ago in the 'political pamphlet. But the El measure of his wrath was reserved for his publication of yesterday week, in which we find it thus poured forth :—" Mr. Wooler's ground of action upon this occasion arose from personal revenge, and revenge, too, growing oat of mercenary motives. To make good this charge, which is the heaviest that lever preferred against man, I have only to state to you, that I have it in my power, completely to prove, front evidence recently re, ceived, that his unmannerly, his ferocious, his cowardly attack upon me when he knew that there was nob o dy to face him but women and children, arose from Ids having been turned gif, as printer to the Register in London, on account of his dilatoriness, his inaccuracies, and his slovenliness, arising from his drunkenness and dissolute life." On the publication of this at New York, (the pam phlet being always published there previous to its de. purture tin. England) a friend of Mr. %Vooler stept forth with the following deposition, in the authenticity of whose statement, Mr. Wooler's friends here will no doubt implicitly believe. A New York paper thus in. troduces it : " It may be remembered, that on the 19th of November we republished an article from Cabot's Register, in which' he eliargesWooler with dilatoriness, inaccuracy and slovenli. ness (iii his business). arising from his drunkenness and disco. lute life. In answer to an attack so serious, a personal friend of Mr. Wooler has requested us to insert the following dew,. sition. Impartiality demands of us to give a lair hearing to both sides : " Dec. 1, 42 of Independence, or 1527. " Whereas I, 'William Clark, late of London, having been intl. tnately acquainted with T. J. %Vex,ler for between two and throe yews, make oath that the charge Mr. Coblieu has made in his Regis... ter of Oct. 30, 1817, is intlimoutily false, to wit—his dilatoriness, his inaccuracies, and his sloveliness, arising from his drunkenne , s and dissolute life." The fact is, that Mr. Wooler is a remarkably sober man, and of un irreproachable character as to morals and vital., Having known Mr. U'ouler in different circumstances of life, I do positively swear that I never knew a falsity to escape his lips ; and further, that heholdsin'abhorence any person that has been known to tell a lie.
