The Gazelle de France says, that at the instance of the Curt of the Grand Duke of Darmstadt has seized the papers belonging to numerous students Of Giessen, by which it was ascertained that the Band!

It is atiimied, that the expedition will not sail before the month of I)ecciether ; and the troops, which had been sent on bit rd sorra' ships, have been disembaiked since my last letter.

Thursday, the Prince Regent held a Levee, at Carlton•huuse, chiefly for the purpose of giving no. dienee to the Persian Ambassador, and to receive the presents which had been sent for his Royal Highness's acceptance, hum the Sovereign of Persia. _ _ _ On Tuesday, the 11th instant, the baptism of the infant son of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge was celebrated at Hanover with the ne cessary forms, and with a degree of magnificence suitable to the occasion. The Duke of York on Monday submitted some new clothing for the three regiments of Foot Guards, to the Prince Regent, at Carlton-house, which, we understand, the Regent was pleased to approve. Saturday Dr. Marsh, the Bishop of Peterborough attended at Carlton-house, at three o'clock, to do honiage before the Prince Regent, upon his being translated from the Bishoprick of Llantiatf to the Bishopriek of Peterborough. It is said, that the Lords of the Treasary have sig nified to the Store.keeper General, thus his services will be no longer required, and that his department will be transferred to the Treastiry, as the Commis sariat was at the end of ihe war. The Duke of Wellington, as Master-General of the Ordnance, has made some important al terations with respect to the establishment at the Tower. The Brisk brig of war sails this day for Calais to bring over Prince Leopold. MR. VANSITTAST AND THE BANIL DIRECTORS.— We refer our Nadera to the very curious and import- ant ccrrespotitleuce (which they will find in ano ther ',sit of our paper) between these parties, as 11111115 illustrative of the '• tin:metal prosperity of the Country." We have the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the situa tion of alt alijtct and humble beggar, crawling bebire the feet of the Bank Directors, and earnestly begging and imploring that they would permit hint to renew his bill!, which he confesses his inability to take tip when they become due. The Timer of Monday hint , that last year there was a considerable .difficulty in find ing motley to pay the Disidends. We were in posses sion of th' facts corme:ted with the embarrassment al. hided to, but, communicated as they were under au injunction of secrecy. we could ma lay them before our Readers. The conclusions which we crew from these facts, will probably be remembered, and the corn merits to w Inch that' gave rise. NVe were accused of " aiming a blow at the financial establishments of the (+ountry,' but every day has tended to eontirin the opi talon we then gave. 'the I)irectors, not content with trampling upon poor Vansitiart, call opott him for pro tection against those who have been etiga , ed an the hottest endeavour to eximi..e their salutation. They may as well be quiiet. The helpless man is no snore able to stop the tide of publicoinnion, titan they are to pay their debts in money.

The report of an intended journey of the Empe ror of Rushia to Brussels, as stated in a french piper, is said to be destitute of foundation. ' IVTAY 24. SOUTH AMERICA.

General Parr StjlCll, that the force of the enemy amounts to 5000 meta, of which 40(tui are infantry It is with infinite pleasure I inform you, that Nlorillo commenced his re treat on the sigh of February, compelled thereto by the bravery of our troops, and by the want of cattle and horses. Gen. Paez was harassing his TejrIAUJE4I, and his gueriPas were attacking the Spanish van-guard I. We expect inittiediate netts of the final result, whicl► cannot but be in the highest degree satisfactory. •' Genetal Bolivar set out front hence on the 26th of February to take the command of the army ; sthich, with the 501.1 English which have arrived in this cit y front Captain Elunot's extwdition, amounts to 50011 men on that part of the Apure, and of these 3U(SO arc cavalry.
