We suppose it is &Lunt 12 months since the Bank of England published a notice in the Gazette, signed according to the Act of Restriction, by the :speaker of the House of Commons, announcing that t4ey would pay in cash all their notes dated prior to the year 1817. The Chancellor of the Exchequer vaunted a great deal upon the subject, quoted it as a proof of our increasing prosperity, and deduced from it that file deep, croaking, unpatriotic doubts of the solvency of the Bank were totally confuted. On Tuesday a Bill for restricting the Bank of England from paying their notes, issued before 1817, in cash, received the Royal Assent, and became a law. heave to bring in the Bill was given in the House of Commons only the night before, the standing orders were suspended in both Houses to facilitate its laming, and within 24 hours it became effective. If Ministers believe the Bank to be insolvent, we think they have acted wisely—if net, they have done 32 incalculable ,injury to the country, by making every one else of an opinion which they do not hold important a question. Bank notes, in conse qaence of the partial resumption of cash payments, weresecovering from the great doubt with which they ads lung be.g.veeeived on the Continent; we have o.::::elves repeatedly purchased them for 8 guilders and a half, though a guinea was at the same time a th 1 2 giiilders and a half; they were,however, like tke bills of a house which guying stopped payment, i.vbuso bankruptcy has been expected, but which re commences in a proportion its payments, •so were the Bank of England notes restored in sonic degree to foreign confidence. IVe sv it to learn from our rlllerent foreign correspondents what will be the effect of the present measure, but if it be not de structive of all reliance of common prudence in our National Bank, we shall he a-tonished. The rapidity of passing the Bill proves either the most imminent immtliate danger, or that the credit of the TILT: NATIONAL AEG/STEIL country Las been wantonly and .needionaly trifled with by Ministers. The London Gazette of Tuesday contains extracts of despatches from Mr Rose, British Ambassador at the Court of Berlin, announcing the safe delivery of the Duchess of Cambridge, who gave birth to u Prince at Cambridge house, in the city of Hanover, at 10 minute, past 2, in ►he morning of Friday the 2Gth ult. Iler Royal highness and the child, we arc happy to learn, were doing as well as possible when the accounts came away. The Duke of Clarence, Earl Mayo, and Mr. Rose attended her Royal High ness's accouchenaent, and signed a formal declaration of the above auspicious circumstance. The day fol lowing, viz. Saturday, March x 7, produced another, though transient addition, to the members of the House of Brunswick. The Duchess of Clarence was brought to bed of a daughter, at a few minutes past 7 o'clock in the morning ; but after being bap tised by the names of Charlotte-Augusta-Louisa, according to the rites of the Church of England, the infant expired at one in the afternoon ; all which events were duly testified by his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence, Lord Mayo, and Mr. Rose, as in the former instance. We have inserted further particulars of these events in another part, The King of France, according to the ,Paris jour. nals, is to transfer his residence to St. Cloud, about the beginning of next month. It is supposed that his Majesty will remain at that beautiful spot until the month of August. l.as Cases is reported to live in retirement at Offenbach,and to have declined the good offices of his friends, who had us.-cl .some exertions to procure for him the liberty of returning to France. We have no doubt that M. Las Cases is well instructed as to those obstacles which the vigi lance of the French police might oppose to the exe cution or advancement of his St. Helena projects. Any neighbouring county would, in that point of view, afford this querulous and politic gentleman more elbow-room for his secret machinations, and he has pitched his tent accordingly. The debate on the monopoly of tobacco was adjourned in the Cham ber of Deputies from the sth• to the 6th instant. After which, the attention of the Chamber was somewhat curiously occupied by the report on a pe tition from a man who claimed the eontinumice of a pension, originally granted to him for saving the life of Buonaparte. The Frankfort paragraphs go on with the subject of M. Kotzebue's murder ; but noth:ng worth•notice has been added to our former communication. The Brussels intelligence, by the Dutch mail, re lates to circumstances connected with the approach ing trial of the persons who were accused in last November of a conspiracy for carrying off the Em peror Alexander. One man, of the name of Buchoz, a Frenchman, now in business at Brussels, has ad dressed a memorial exculpatory of himself, to the members of the High Court of Justice of South Bra bant. By this dicument he hopes to prove that he had no share in the above conspiracy, and details some particulars 11 , 1 previously published, as to the manner in which it came within his knowledge. Coder the head of Cglcutta papers we insert an abstract of sundry small but gallant operations car ried on by subordinate officers in India, against the remnant of the beaten followers of the fugitive Nag poor Rajah. It was chiefly the Goan& and Arall who formed for the British detachments this petty warfare. The dunioions of the late Peishwa, it would appear, are not yet. entirely tranquillized. We have this try rn:ng received the Paris papers of Weanesday List, frt;la seiiich we have extracted the APRIL. 11.

Physicians WINDSOR CASTLE, APRIL 3. 1819.
