Or The funds have remained very steely for some weeks the fluctuations of the (hay seldom ex:ce.ling 4 or 4 per Yestw.lay there was a small declining to the payment to the Bank of 30 per cent. on the New Loan, on which that establishment had advanced the fits tal rnents fuL. the Public, on being allowed five per cent. per ann. interest. The next and final payment is on the 10th of Feb' nary. cent. " On account of these heavy payments, money has bowl= rather scarce in tile City, Exchequer Bills, finmerly at 20 and 21 premium, have fallen to 12 and and a consi.lerable quantity of new Stuck has been thrown upon the Market. When the effect of these money transactions has imbsPed, a very considerable a Ivance in the prices of the funds i, very generally an ticii,ated in the City. In the House of Commons yesterday, a petition was presented by \lr Sinclair, from Hunt, against the Westminster Hustings Bill, now in progress throng!' that House. The petition, though not without a due pardon of "skituble-skamble stuff,' was worded with a sufficient degree of respect to secure its reception. Yet it commenced with a palpable violation of truth, for it set fitrth that " at the last election for the city of Westminster the Fisneter stool, along with ave other gentlemen,' &e. NVe positively object to this classi fication on the part of Hunt. The object of the peti tion was one, which is very familiar with those " other vitleincn" who brawl for liberty ; namely, the liberty of modyfying all existing laws in such a way that they may net e!katt themselves. To use a favourite phrase in the petition, they arc always for "snapping" at the to do jutit what they litse A short but iilter• sting discussion subsequently took place, upon the state of silver currency of the country. Mr. Gav:EsEELL, reverting to what he had mentioned on Si thriller observed, that upon enquiry he hit found the standard price of silver was live shillings and seven-pence per ounce. being one penny above the Mint price, or one shilling in the pound of Silver. Though this profit is too small to create en. great temptation in persons to melt it down, yet it presents a Let of sniiicient importance la call for 'lie attentio7i , • pew eeiii‘gu as issued, fertainly lll', by t.l..te . . ax.n jy, generally, that the seignora,ge of six p VelP,11:1 to tine pi' .n 2. ion of ,)ur s: • i.e Cirelllll3tUlleC, litlWeV.2r, alt,, thiLge; wt ni aft.er tIAu period (Zits NATIOVAT, REGISTER. consideration. The seignorage of six per cent. which was taken, may certainly be considered as a sufficient security for all ordinary cries, and with respect to the presen. slight excess beyond the price provided for by that seignorage, there is, we understand, good reason to believe. it will soon cease Should it happen other wise, however, and any great or permanent rise in the price of bullion should take ,place, then, as Mr. W. Pout justly observed, it will become the duty of Parlia ment to counteract the evil by some legislative m The actual increase of the standard, above the Mint, price of silver bullion i. not only extremely recent, but certainly too trifling to cause any •erious apprehension with respect to the disappearance of our silver currency. We have received New Orleans papers to the SOth November. They contain no intelligence of the last interest ; but private letters from the same quarter state, that the 'map d'A.sle had been broken up, and that the United States Government vessels had received instruc tions to capture the privateers which those free hooters had detached to cruise in the Gulob. The Firebrand had fallen in with four of them, which she had cap. turcd and sent to New Orleans. • The accounts from the Havannah mention that there had been several severe gales. Seventeen vessels which sailed from Cadiz early in Nov. with 1200 troops for Cuba, had not arrived on the 19th Dec. These troops were reported to be destined for the Floridus. The transports which conveyed the garrison of Pensacola to the Havannah, were ready to return with the Spanish forces to take possession of the Floridan in the name of Fettomastn; but the island was so infested with Insurgent privateers, that their sailing bud been postponed. We have received this morning the Paris Papers of Wednesday last. The only intelligence of any interest which they contain relates to the Funds, which are progressively improving. On Tuesday the 5 per cents. opened at 691. and left ar at 69f. 20e. ; but we und:,,r stand an express has reached the City,.with the prints of Wednesday, on which day they were (49f. 70e. Paris papers of Sunday arrived at a late hour on Wednesday night. They are singularly destitute of interrest scarcely offering a paragraph that de serves to he extracted. An article dated Constanti nople, of the 10th ult., desetilles an affray between the crew of a Russian vessel and a number of Turkish boat men, in which the former, after seeing the Russian flag, which they had hoisted for their prof tetion, taken down and torn to pieees by their euraget: antagonists, were obliged to seek safety in flight and ueneealment among the other vessels in the harbour. The Russian Minis ter complained of the insult to the Turkish authorities, (engaging, that if his countrymen should be found to be the aggressors, they should be seat in chains to (Nesse) ; - told the Turks, on their side, caused the ring leader of the rioters to be arrested. 'The affair termi nated, as U6llll at the Porte, in the impunity of the guilty, and the banishment on the Aga of the Janissaries, who was made responsible for sets which he could nos prevent.— fhe French fund,' on Saturday were: Five per Cents." 68f. 6Uc, ; Bank Stock, i,5000f. Accounts from Washington to the 50th ult. state, that the Senate had been sitting, for the last two days with closed doors. It was understood that the new commerciAl treaty between great Britain and the United States bad been taken into consideration. _ The '--- The Porte has just launched two new 74's. The Sultan, with all his Ministers was present on the occasion. M. A. Pisani, second interpreter of the EngliAli Embassy permitted his children to go and see the ship launched Two days after, the son, who was 1 4 years of age, was seized with the plague, and (tied in 41 hours. Dutch papers to the 231, and three Hamburgh mails, bringing papers to the 19th inst. arrived on 'Tuesday morning. An article dated Brussels, Jan. 18, states, that aecarding to `• accounts from Paris, the King, at the proposal of the Minister fin. Foreign , Att i ;es, had given permission to some more of these pet s,ins who were banished front France by the 1t• yap or.iinam.:!, to return to their country. Among those persons, it is said, is a well-known General, who, at the titre of the King's flight to Lisle, put hirase f at the hem' of some cavalry to pursue his Nlajesty.'" It is also asserted, " that Marshal Soult. M. Arnaud, and some others, are not yet included in this measure ;. but people, who pretend to be welt informed, arc convinced that upon the occasion of the King's coronation, ull the exiled persons will be recalled. ' On Tuesday there was a numerous assemblage of Peers at Fife-house, the residence of the Earl of 1 ,ivorpooi Tues.lay, throe meu, who have been brought to England from the Isle of France, urtierwent an iuves tig,tt too at the - , eez-rtitry et' SiZtte's t . Bee for the Home Dq-,ar;ment, ch.ii,ed with Wien= iiutlec the Slave t. Tuesday, about one o'clock, the Duke of York arrived at his house in St. Jumes's.pulace, from a visit to ►he Earl Verulum near St. Albans. Soon after three o'clock His Royal Highness held a levee at his office in the Hone Guards Viscount Castlereagh left town on Tuesday after noon, about half-past three o'clock, fur his seat at North Cray. The private *deices brought by the Hamburgh and Dutch mails of Tuesday, communicate little of hn. portant intelligence. A failure had taken place at Rotterdam of an English house established there, but the deficiencies were expected to be inconsiderable. Commerce still continued in the came state of languor and inactivity which has recently prevailed in the north of Europe, but money was plentiful, and the rate of interest had fallen on an average of the prin. cipal towns and cities in. that part of the t ontinent, to 4 per cent. We were led to expect that the opposition were most impatient fur the meeting of the new Parliament, in order that they might show their strength, and prove what ground they had gained in the opinion of the country, We were told too that a most formidable phalanx of new Members, both in poineof numbers and talent, would be marshalled a_ainst Ministers. Nay, they went so far as to assert that Ministers were sacred out of their sense by their antagonists, and. flying in all directions." It must be supposed that we looked with some anxiety fur the prnols of this fear and flight, which were furnished us at once by the formi. dable motion of Mr. Bennet—and that happy combi. nation of wit, eloquence and argumett affirrded in the maiden speech of Sir Robett Wilson. Yet strange to . tell, neither of those extraordinmy efforts of human ie. tellect have produced the diet of driving Ministere from their seats, upon which they seem to sit xs securely as ever—We are really afraid that, as usual, thr Party will only e keep the word of promise to the ear" and " break it to our hape."—They did not move any Amend. men' to the Speech nor provoke any division—ln their harangues in taverns and luestiags, they.hud poured we stream of obloquy and abuse npon the late Parliament; yet when the deeds of that Parliament, and the state in which it left our affairs are presented to the new Par. liament, uo attempt is made to 'impugn them,. and .to the tate Parliament, ,never to to be remembered, but. with gratitude, the uew Parliament owes the uneon._ tradicted statements of the Speech as to this new and. hopeful order of thing in which the country finds its.. self placed. The Report of the Commissioners to investigate the most probable meani of preventing the forgery of Rank Notes, has been laid before the Prince Regent, and when returned frena the Pavilion will be presented to Parliament. We understand the report is concise, and contains specimens of the impressions recommended for the new notes. Though they may not prevent forgery altogether, yet they will render it more difficult,. and much more tedious to fabricate spurious notes. The Gazelle of Saturday night contained an Order for the Court going into Meurning yesterday for the I Queen of Spaiu, and to go out of Mourning on the 4th I of February. ---; In the Court of King's Bench on Saturday, the KING, on the Prosecution of the Society for the,Sup. pression of Vice, v. Ricutnu CAnLILE. The defendant, a publisher in Fleet Street, appeared on the motion of Mr. Mania, to plead to an indict ment, removed by Certiorari to this Court, charging him with publishing a wietesl and blasphemous libel _ against the Holy Scriptures. The Wad being read from the indictment, appeared to be passages selected from Pulue's " Age of Reas.nr ; ' which the defendant recently published. The defendant being asked whether he pleadt_d guilty, said he bad to request time to plead. The Officer of the Court then read a criminal in. formation filed against the defendant by the Attorney General, for the same offence, to which Le also re quested time to plead, and added, that he was prepared with bail. The Court asked Messrs. Nlarriot and Littledale, Counsel for the prosecution, whether they objected to • the brut offered ? —They answered--No. The defendant was then admitted to bail, himself. in 2001. and two others in 1001. each to appear h.' that Court within the first eight days of next Term. The defendant's bail were, T.
