Vilittarig- LONDON. MONDAY, DECEMBER 20. Time o'Clock, p. M. Two Hamburgh Mails have arrived bringing Paperi to the .10th inst. An article from Brunswick states, that on the 2d, a fire broke out in the Chan eery Buildings of that town, at night, which burnt; with sucb resistless rapidity, that all the papers were' consumed, and some lives were unfialunately lost. The Grand Saloon, called the Throne Hulk, which was formerly fitted tip at considerable expence by .Jerome Bonaparte, was entirely ,destroyed. The fire, i r is supposeil, was ocmsioned by the 'Apes laid under the floor to heat the apartments. The Elbe has been frozen as far as Altona since the Bth inst. in conse- Tienee of which the navigation has been so inter mood, that above 30 ships, bound to klamburgh, are detained at Cuxhaven. THE FINaINCE.S. We understand 44 the Customs and Excise `J)uties are now daily paid in Exchequer Bills, consequently the .cash that ought tube received by those Zepartruents (and paid Amer to the Bunk in consequence of the loan of 8,500,0001. granted to to the • minister on the duties receivable uu the Consolidated Fund between October and January), is now in great part received in exchtquer UJIs ; and we are thereflire, at a loss to know how the Batik will pay the January dividends, unless by an advance of from 10 to I millions on the Cvnaioli- Atted Duties, that may be receivable between January and April. We cannot,but look with great alarm at our present unflinded debt, which the minister told us wits to be so much reduced /143 your.

What panacea has the worthy Chancellor of the Exchequer for these evils? The old one, we suppose—szteitlo4ll - implore Parliament to digest this subject fully ♦ud fairly, end meet the difficulty, notvrifhatadding it is great.

The revenue for the existing qaarter, a,: cording to returns made .up to 4; int .v, the 4th inst. is stated to have fallen oil* in noan..tal alumna 700,0001. compared with the cotrespointing quarter of last year, and has suffered a further ac.aal dimi nution, by the payment af r.xchequer bills (tu what amount canasta be ascertained,) which have been fur some time at a large discount, instead ufilank notes, into the Treasury for duties. The expedients for surmoellting this obstacle are—an arrangement with the Bank to olvance money on the malt and other duties, which will accrue its the next quarter, and a similar understanding with one of the first capitalists in the country, that all the Exchequer bills paid in fOr duties ;hall be redeemed and hell by 1l i 11l ad interim. As this will carry forwards operations to the middle ofJanuerv, it is not unlikely, if the ar rangement is generally assented to by .all parties engaged in it, to be adopted. Theissuing Exchequer bills at a higher rate of interest, cannot, it is thought much longer be delayed. It is expected to take place early in next year, and the. new interest named is . 3.1. a day, as less cannot be relied on to prevent their being again at a discount. On Wedneslay eveniu6, Mx. Nacho ' accompanied by a strong detachm e nt o f th e 9 t h Lancers, and several police ufficers,set out with two stage coaches for Bury. On their arrival there, they proceeded to a place where a number of persons were assembled. 7of whom were taken into custody. Three more were apprehended in the town, and with their 10 prisoners the party returned to Manchester, about midnight. We do not know what A:kluge is alleged against these persons ; but we understand they were committed to Lancaster on Thursday, and that Fletcher the spy, who gave evidence on the committal of Knight, was the intiomant against them. SIR FRANCIS BURDETT AND CORBETT.-.—The friends of Cobbcu a few days since waited on Sir F. Burdett, for the purpose of obtaining a recon ciliation between them. Ths Baronet was, however, ineshorable. Ho said, Mr Cobbett could not forget the many falsehoods published is the two-penny Register, which the writer must hips known to be either true .or false; it true, no honest man would wish to renew an acquaintance with him (Sir Francis; and if false, what could be thought of the individual promulgating suoh atrocious calumnies, with a knowledge of their being such) Here the conversation ended, and the persons retired.- -The Legithdarial Ailerney for .Birmingham waited on Sir Francis for the same purpose, and received a similar answer, with the addition of the observation contained in the memo sable latter written-in answer to one received from Cobbatt, wherein the 'notable discovery - is made of the nor *ay le pay old de•frfir.
