r". - - tranquillity. The Allied Sovereigns must have known this would be the case, but they are anxious, no doubt, to involve this country in war, with the hope of ruining our finances, and destroying all our influence on the Continent. Portugal is now embarked in the just cause with Spain against ft,- reign aggression. This is the natural consequence of the present odious policy of France, and we are therefore surprised, that as the fact must have been anticipated, a representation to the effect had not been. made by our Government to the Congress at Verona, and a remonstrance in favour of our ancient ally, to that meddling and Uncalled-for Assembly. TILE FUNDS, SATURDAY. HALF-PAST TWO ottacc., There appears steal stagnation in the market-- scarcely any thing having been done up to this time. Consols opened at 734 4, at W:iich they have re. mained steady the whole of the morning_ This moment a report prevails thst two expressos have arrived from Paris, stating that the Duke of Angouleme had left that capital for the army— but we cannot trace the news to any authentic source. In the earliest part of the morning the foreign market seemed to be on the rise—Spanish Bondi opened. at 3O —but afterwards declined to 991 — little doing. Zt is gratifying to have learnt that one of the Gentlemen—H. M —who on a recent occasion de clinectsubmitting his books to the committee—hay. ing honourably settled ail his differences in All— is reinstated in his privileges as a member of the house. DEATH. OF JOHN PHILIP KEMBLE, ESQ. This gentleman died at his Chateau at Lausanne on the 26th of February—on the 23d, almost imme diately after breakfast, he suffered an attack of paralysis—a second in the course of the same &w e by which he was rendered nearly speechless; awl on the day of his death a third fit deprived? his rela. fives and friends of all hope.—Thus died, respected and revered by all who had the pleasure of his ac quaintance, a gentleman whose classical acquirements were a credit to his country, and whose exertions on the Stage had placed the profession on an honoura ble eminence it never before enjoyed. Tile fine Turkish frigate, which sailed from. the Thames about the mcath of September last, arrived after a favourable voyage at Algiers, where the Eng- lish sailors on board received their discluirge, and re turned about a fortnight ago to this country. The following are the new ecclesiastical arrange• ments in Ireland : Dean Arbuthnot, of Clovne, to be Bishop of Killaloe ; the Bishop of Killaloe to be Bishop of Dawn ; and the Bishop of Down to be Bishop of Meath. The Spanish Ambassador has contracted with.one manufacturer only for the supply of twenty thou sand barrels of gunpowder, which are to be shipped for the Spanish army with the least possible delay. A vessel left the River on Saturday with five thou sand stand of arms on board, whi r & are intended to be landed at Corunna. This is the second export of arms for Spain within a.very short period. A requisil,ion, signed by about 400 persons, was presented to Thomas Bewes, Esq. High Sheriff of Devon, on Wednesday last, by Captain Hamlyn, for a county meeting to consider the propriety of petitioning Parliament for a reform in the House of Commons. In answer to the requisition, the Sheriff declared, " it was with considerable regret lie felt himself cempelied to decline giving his assent." ft is said the refusal of the Sheriff proceeds from a det,rmination to prevent, during his shrievalty, such demagogues as Hunt and Cobbett from assum ing a station among the respectable freeholders of the county ; and that be is not opposed to what is termed a moderate retbrinin Farliament. A plan is in contemplation among Dissenters, for the greater convenience of tracing the registers of baptisms a•: burials, to have one general register office in every county, to which annual copies from the chapel books shall be sent and filed, and books provided for recording such copies. DARING AND EXTENSIVII BDROLARY.—Saturday morning, between five and seven o'clock, some daring burglars, entered the premises of Mr. Alexander Wylie, clothier. in Cnndnit•street, Bond•street.

" That the coodect of that House epos sissy recent ;ogee 'ions, ban shows that. the influence of the Executive Govern ment is such as to counteract the edicts of public opinion.
