4 " I postoefi Mova.rr, T I E OCLOCK. A Flan:lets Mail arriv<Al last night, and brings the - following news:— " BRIIS.)ELS, DEC: Q9.—As we hail presumed, the number of persons who perished at Amsterdam, in the evening of the :rid of this month, dm ing the for, has Leen greatly exaggerated. The last accounts from that city slate, ttott the nma.ber amounted to aLt;ut thirty .only. " Dec. SO.—lt is affirmed, that by a deLisirn cf the King of France, of the 25th of this mouth, twenty five of the Convention who voted fur the death of Louis XVI. and who were exiled by the law of the lith of January, 1815, are authorised to return to France. 01' this number, three ate inhabitants o f 131 . u Asti s " Dec. 31.—The law which Axes the budget of expences of the kingdom for 1819, and has been adopt ed by both the Chambers of the States General, is now published by a &Tree of his Majesty. of the 24th. in consequence, the contribution duties and revenues wi!l continue to be levied on the same footing as in 1818, till other legislative regulations are made on the sub lea." The Billowing is an extract of a private letter from Paris, dated the 30th alt.—" Baron Louis, our new Finance Minister, has already put matters in train fur his great financial measure, the sale of the national domains tht: pro !tie of which is to be applied to the purchase of reader, and thus to lessen the weight that *till hang, on oar monev-market. Twenty four sur veyors have been tb..spateted to the different depart. ntents of France, to make the requisite valuations, and the arrangements necessary tits the approaching sales It is believed that these lands will be purchased with considerable as no u ant of money exists in the interim. Tao we 41thy tanners and possessors of vine yards will gladly employ their capit tl in that manner, w:lo would sneer their money to lie idle, rather than invest it iu the Government securities of their oountev. The funds have improved within these few days, anti at the close of to-day's market were quoted at 658 75e. If the period of the Egli ation p-isAes over without any great concussion, the market will establish itself on a firm basis, and a further improvement can hardly Etil to take place. The appoil t nent etillaron Louis is very popular, and has given general satisfaction to the holders of stock." _ _ A new field has been opened for exertion among the electors of Westminster, in consequence of an event which many consider as a triumph, but which, to what ever cause. tt may Lc attrihnted, was not anticipated— we allude to the resignation on the part of Sir Murray Maxwell of his pretmsions to represent the city of Westiniwt.:r in Parliament. The moment this deter mine iit was made known, the ministerial party entered into a discussion as to whom it would be poper to select as a sucsessor in their favour and in whim support the funds which they have already col lected are to be expended. Rumour states, that a deputation of the citizens is again to wait upon Mr. 'Wetherell, the barrister, who defended 1)r. ‘Vatson, to request him to permit his name to be put in nomina tion as one of the candidates. The Sophia sloop of war, Captain Sir Wm. Wiseman, is ordered to proceed without delay to St. Helena, with dislatches from Sir Hudson Lowe. As the destination of this vessel wa4 fixed flir Jamaica, it is sa id the aispatches must be of great importance to /c oder any deviation necessary. On Wednesday a ballot was held at the East India House, for the election of a Director, in the room of John Luntsden, Erg. deceased. At six o'clock the glasses were closed, and delivered to the scrutineers, who reported the ele.:tion to have fallen on William Taylor, Money, E.-q. Sweden, it is again said, in a Brussels paper, disposed of the island of St. Bartholomew, so far back as June lust, to Ros'ia. Five vessAs. the Blenheim, Duchess of Bedford, Anne, George Canning, and Monarch, ostensibly bound for Cayenne. have arrived in the Downs from the river ; each of these shil s has 200 passengers on board, consisting of officers, tire. bound to the coast of Guiana, with the intention of joiniug the Insurgents in South A. merica. • The materials left by the late Sir Samuel Romilly, trr iris intended work on the Criminal Law, are said to 'min ae: the suljeet in every pods of view.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NATIONAL REGISTER. Stn,—lt must have been generally observed that Cm. some weeks past there has been a continual drop in the corn market, amounting to least to eight or feu shillings per quarter; but contrary to the expectation of every one, instead of flower hulling five u sack on M,atdav last, we have been told that it advanc ed that sum. This is, indeed, so very mysterious, that 1 cannot commehend it ; and I am cfmruient that your numerous readeis will feel obliged if this enigma is esplained Fur my own part, I can only suppose that the Mute of the market was not Liirly reported, or that one of those tricks was played of, which is sometimes practised in .ark Lane. As an individual, 1 urn sa tisfied there is a ;pod deal of underhand work carried on by the corn-factors and meal-men who frequent that place; but the misfortune tor the poor is, that the mischief goes farther. 1 therefore deplore, with thou sands in the metropolis, that the assize MU& ever taken off: this, as fir us it went, was a very wholesome cheik ; end were it now in operation, the highest price of the portent loaf in London would be only ten pence; in sonic ports of the courtly it is nine-pence : and until it finds that level throughout the British empire, and rsmains there, we shall never see any true national prosperity ; for upon the e. ice of the quartern as lo as u..r •anufaetures are concerned, depends not °Ay our foreign trade, but the internal peace of the country. I am, Sir. your obedient servant, London, Dec. 31, 1:;1 ii. OBSERVATOR. Tut KING'S flrsurn.—On Saturday, the Council ' of the late Queen, Who have the care anti superintend ence of the King's person a4reeably to the directions of the Regency Act, assembled at the Upper Lodge, Windsor, where they received the report of the five Physicians as to the state of mind and health of the King during the past mouth and the Physicians having boon sworn to the cDrrectness of it by his Brace the Archbishop of Canterbury, President of the Council the members present adjourned to the Castle to visit His Majesty.

E. on Tuesday, a 'boat was seen standing in for the Narrows ; when just about Black Head u heavy sea broke upon her; she immediately disappeared, and melancholy to relate, all hands perished ! The same day, we under stand, a boar, in going from Hollyrood to Bay Roberts, to which place she belonged, was struck by a heavy sea, filled, and went down ; and the crew, consisting of fiv e men, were all lust. What renders the circumstance inure distressing is, that three of them were brothers, were married, and had in the three families twenty• one children. The tollowing is an extmct of a letter from the same place. dated the .sth ult.:— On Wednesday evening, . while the seamen of the brig Emily were wheeling some ballast through Mr. Hogan's stage on board that vessel, Michael Mullally, a cGoper, came down something in li.tuor, and began sit altercation with them, upon which James Tott, one of the crew, told Mtn to go about his business, and took hold of Mullally by the collar to shove him a way ibla the head of the stage; the latter want up to the stage, and %vat:Mug an opportunity, gave Tott a sever: stab in the si,le with a pew.
