MONDAY, STAY 3, 1919 A Dutch Mail ha' just arrived, bring:ng Papers of Tuesday lust. The Second Chamber of the Stows General, after a discussion of much length, have agreed to five projects of Law relating to the Excise and Customs. An article from Stockholm states, that M. Berquis, who has returned from St. Bartholomew, has published a work, containing some curious information respecting the Black Em pire of Ilayti. The financial system of Christophe is excee.lingly simple, Ile claims one fourth of the property of bis kingdom, while he adjudges ano ther {Louth as the portion of the negroes, and the proprietors are permitted to enjoy the remaining half. Apprehensive of nothing so seriously as an invasion by the French, he is represented as storing his treasure on the summit of a lofty hill, defended by artillery, and which, doubtless, he considers to be impreguatle. It is pretty clear, however, that should ever the dominions of his sable Majesty be inva.led by his dreadful foes, they would hardly fail to attack his hoarded and levy their eontribu- )f tio:hc. oin ll itt 0.

Letters from Vienna, in noticing the lamentable end of Kotzebue, whose prolific muse so long possessed the German stage, state, that the actors of that city were resolved to get ups, perform ance in honour cf him, the profits of which were to be distributed to his family. The conscription in he German provinces of Austria has praluced 46,006 men, fur the current year; but as 20,000 foreigners were about to retire from the same ser. vice, to their respective homes, this reduces the sc. cession of the military to 26,000 men. Tuesday, at half-past two o'clock, Mr. Hase, from the Bank of England, made an official commu nication at the Stock Exchange, stating, that if there is a Loan contracted for this year, that Ex chequer Bills for one-fourth the sum to the amount of any subscription that individuals may make will be taken at a Premium of Twenty Shillings.—This communication makes the report of a Loan certain and serious. The amount is expected to be Twenty Millions, and this too after so many years of Peace ! I It will be seen by our Parliamentary Report, that on Friday the very important question of Catholic Emancipation was postponed to this evening, to give way to the debate on the Bank Report. We shall be glad to find that one voter more was enabled by this postponement to give his voice fur so desirable a treasure. The Prince Regent, should he be sufficiently well of the gout; is expected at Carlton-house in the course of the ensuing week to hold a levee, and to receive the Persian Ambassador, on which occasion the beautiful Persian horses will be presented to his Royal Highness, sent to this country, fur that purpose by his Majesty the Shah of Persia. THIL Dots AND I)UCRESS or KENT.—The Prince Regent had, during the absclice of the Duke of Kent, commanded a her of rooms in Kensington-palace to he added to those ocsupieil by the Duke previously to his marriage, and they were accordingly fitted up and in readiness upon his arriial in England. The Duke of Kent has been particularly attentive to the welf a re of his Duchess in their traveiling in England. '1 hey came by short stages ; he drove ha himself in his phaeton, and arrived in that carriage at Kensingti o-native nn Sunday afternoon, about five o'clock, trout the Earl of Darnley's. The I)itlce and Duchess dined with the Duke of Sussex at Kensingtoo.paiace, aec•nmpauied by the Piinceas, toe I)itchemi's daughter, the Baroness de Bonne, the Piiiicess's Goveritos, General Wetherall, the Coin ptridler of the Doke of Gen. Moore, C sptain Conway, Dr. Wilson, the Ladies in on the Duchess, &c. The Duchess is attended to England by Mrs. Sit 1411, a celebrated midwife. Yes terday mnrrunsc . Sir Bloomfield anis ttl at Kensingtampslare from the Prince Regent., at Brictitton, to express the Regetit's congrandatioos t o the Duke and Duchess upon their ariiial w England. . On Monday, the Duke and Duchess of Kelt re ceived visits lisim a great number of the Nobility and Gentry at Kensington Palace, on their arrival from the Continent. Their Royal H:gltnesses dined on Sunday with the Duke of Sussex. It is mentioned in a flrei,;tl Journal, that his Royal Highness the Prince Regent of England has purchased of the King of the Netherlands the coun ty of Speigelberg, which is quite surrounded by the kingdom of Hanover, arid has again parted with that domain to Count Munster, the Minister of State. On Thunder. his Excellency the Persian Ambas sador, with Sir Gore Ouseley, and Mr. Willock, his Secretary. mounted upon three of the Persian horses. took a ride through Hyde-park. His Excellency rode a beautiful gray horse, with a Persian brid!e and saddle, and was dressed in his national costume, in rich crimson satin, and . a fine large sash of the same colour, with a highly finished dirk, with a large diamond in the centre of the hilt. There are three distinct parties in the city, who, it is understood, will deliver proposals for the loan, as soon as tha amount, and the manner in which it is to be contracted for, are inside public. It was ex pected and hoped in a period of profound peace, that the public would hear nothing more, at least for a long time to come, of Loan Contractors. We understand a person has arrived from Liver pool at the Admiralty, with a cannon and carriage. which is novel to the gunners of the present day ; it is so constructed to load with rwiler and shot at the mod -hole, and can be rendered completely useless momentarily. It is well adapted fLr a field-piece. Should the cannon be lea at a retreat, the enemy cannot make use of it ; but if retaken, it can be turn ed to use in two minutes, and requires only one. feurtb of powder to a common gun. MAY 3. The Bill for the preventing of bribery and dustup titm in the election of Members for' Barnstaple, enacts, that the Freeholders in the Hundreds of 13raunton, Sherwell, Framl;ngton, and South Mel ton, shall vote for Barnstaple. • In the garden of the Bishop of Bath and Wells at the latter place, there is at this time, an apple -tree with fine fruit of last year's growth upon its branch. es, whilst blossoms of the present Spring are bunt. ing forth. A ship, now in the London docks, is taking in goods and passengi-rs fur New South Wales, about 30 of the latter having already engaged their pas sage at 80 guineas each. A stage coach is shippec, which is to run from Sydney to Paramatta, being the first stage coach introduced in that quarter of the globe. The grievances under which the Roman Catho lics labour are these :—No Catholic can be a Judge. a King's Counsel, a Master in Chancery, Chairman of a County, High-Shea; Sub-Sheriff, Alderman, Cotamon Councilman, and is not entitled to any Collegiate honour, but it is not true, as stated. that a Catholic cannot vote ut an election for a Member of Parliament. On Wednesday lost the body of Thos. Theaker, of the Royal Artillery, was inter. ed at Pontefract with military honours. On the discharge of the cannon, the shock so shattered the coffin, as to leave the corpse entirely exposed to view. We understand that. owing to large orders froro different parts of Germany, colonial produce Ilad risen very considerably. At Rotterdam there w a s a considerable revival of trade. LAW CHANGES IN SCOTLAND.—The Chief Ba ron of the Exehequer in Scotland retires, and two candidates have offered themselves for this high of fice—the Chief Commissioner of the Jury Court, Sir W. Adam, and the Lord Advocate. The latter, it is reported, is the most to succeed. Tus lsiarr —The Antelope of frO pins. recently re turned from Btrbadoes, has been paid off at Cha thin'. The Towey frigate, from the East Indies. has heel, paid nil at Plymouth. The lAven frigate, Captain Rartho. lotnetv, railed from l'eneriffe on ihe 2lith of February, on a cruise off the coast of Africa. The s••ry frigate, Captain IVlnte, who lately brotixlit the Agent from the Dry of Altriert. is tinder orders to return immediate'v to the Nlediterratiean. An extensive supply of naval limber, of various descriptions, has recently been rri ceived into Chatham duck-yard, brought (min Trieste and the Adriatic by the Weymouth store-sliip, Capta in Timer. It is said to he in excellent cu,niiiion, and ap plicable to many purposes nf Sco - rrtsis HOSPITAL—On Saturday, the friends of this t,:tictolctit itistitutiott ass.mbled witli Elie corpora tints to (limier at Farm:lsom' I'avern. As this is the season wlien there is the greatest assentlihige in town of noblemen and gentlemen front the other side of the Tweed, the meeting might hate been expected to he very intinerons, and :be sill:scrip:ions very liht ral ; and no doubt this would have been the case, had the badness of the we:titer not coliirgati:vil to prevent it, The coin- Noy, though not so nitincrotis as we base seen it cm former ()evasions, was liighly respectable. Lord Melville was in the chair, supported by the Lord Adv , cate of Scotland, Sir G. Clerk, M. P., Mr. lioswtll, M. P , Sir Graham More, Sir Pooltney laleottih, and several other p. nuns of distinction. Tile usual touts were given, and the usual emertainnints of songs, speeches, and bagi.:pes eujoyed. The Secretary, Mr. Auld, iii the course of the eveninz, read the tun i cs and c mirthutions of the subscribers. The JlllOlllll of sub. sctiptioits seas about 4501., a third part of which was contributed by two individuals.—Mr. Macnaughtim, of Alacitaughton, and a lady who sent her sobseription through the medium of the Chieitam ; he giving /4, and she ho guineas. The evening passed away in great harmony, hilarity, and good order, and the meet ing dispersed about 11 o'clock. The plan offered to the Bank is said to have been re commended by Mr. Ricardo; according to which, the Bank should never pay in coin, but in bars of gold at the standard price : in fine, it is advised, that the Bank shall at all times buy gold when offered, at 3i. is.; and sell it, when demanded. at 3/. 79. 141. This scheme niay have been derived from the practice of the Bank of liamburgh. This Batik (as we learn from a little work. entitled A Statement of the Pars of Exchange, anti Trade in 8 0 1 l oti") is " bound by its constitution to re ceive all silver that is brought itt, at the rate of 27 niks. 10 sh. batten, fur the mark of fine or pure silver ; for which the person who deposits has credit given hint upon the books of the Bank. But the Bank returns all silver called for be any persons having an account there, or holding a 1.0 of exchange, payable in Bulk money on Hamburgh, :.t the rate ()I' 27 inks. 12 lilt. Banco, the mark of pore or fine silver." In Germany public altars are very different to what they are in France ; indeed the Germans only want that which the French were desirous of ribtaining in 1789, namely, «itial rights, no feudal system, and an Habeas Corpus Act. And, say she Germans, if a Representa tive Got•ernmeut is thought to be fit fur Frenchmen. why are we not to enjoy the same benefit ? /1:e we less worthy of liberty than Frenchmen ?
