~. BANK OF FNGLAND. FRENCH PAPERS. a a to introduce, and to confine himself solely to so much of the former:Bill as was approved or, leave was given, anti the Bill shortly afterwards brought in, read a hist time, and ordered to be read a second time to-morrow (this day). Mr. Alderman ATKINS postponed the Commit tee on the Cotton Act till to-morrow (this day). Mr. THOMSON rose to ask a few questions from the Cba..cellor of the Exchequer respecting the pay mentb by the Bank of England to Government for the stomps which they employed. Ile understood that they compounded for 42,0001. per annum for all stamps whatever used by them. He thought, how. ever, that they ought to pay in proportion-.,as much as the Country Bankers, who paid l°lo,oool. a year. —The Scotch Banks also compounded • for a fixed sum, ke was informed, but be did. not think it right. Ile thought the best way was to compel. the Bank of England and the Scotch Banks, to employ a stamp for every note they issued, the same as the Country Banks. The Country Banks paid 50,0001. annually for stamps fo r small notes alone, while the Bank.of England paid only 41.,0001. aryeor for large and small. • The CHANCELLOR. of the EXCHEQUER re plied, that the payment by the Rank had been regu lated according to a certain scale arranged at the time of first imposing the stamp duty. Since that original composition it had been increased with every inctease iii the rate of the duty itself; but not, he admitted, according to the iucresst of the issue of the Bank. So far, therefore, the Book might be considered as favoured , and he, as an officer of the revenue, could certainly have no objection to any I new regulation which should equalise the two cases. Be had no doubt, also, if the lion. Member at any future period would submit a distinct motion upon the subject, the Bank would enter into a fair discussion of it upon their part. _ _ Mr. THomiciN rose to make some reply, but the Speaker remarked him there was no questiou be fo,re the House. The House then adjourned till this day. PARTS, Jui 29.—Rer Majesty the Empress (lls.en and Regent has received the following news from the Army, dated Dresden, June '24 : " Capt. Planat, an Officer of the Staff, charged with carrying intelligence of the Armistice, has ar rived at Dantzic. Re had much difficulty in getting into the place, because General Rapp, the Governor, fatigued by the great number of flags of truce which the enemy sent every day, bad declared that he would receive no more of them. The officer, there fore, had considerable difficulty in making himself known. " It would be difficult to descrihe the joy which his presence caus:d that fine and numerous garrison, which is far from having the appearance of a besieged fortress ; it is master of all the neighbourhood.— The rations which are to be furnished it during the Armistice, have been fixed at 20,000 each day, which has with justice caused remonstrances on the part of the Governor. several times that garrison during the five months blockade, threw shells into the ene my's head-quarters, and, as one may say, besieged him. 44 General Rapp has formed a good battalion of foot guards, which is composed of fatigued or frozen men i who took refuge in the fortress. The fortress hasibfficient provisions for a year; military men evimate that it could resist open trenches for three months, even supposing that the enemy bad a be sieging train of 200 pieces of cannon, and without calculating the deby which the sorties from the gar rison could occasion to the operationi of the siege. 44 But up to that hour, the enemy had in no man lier shown an intention of attempting so difficult au enterprise." FRONTIERS or Socce.vv, JUNE 21.—The head quarters of the King of Prussia was some days ago at Latigentdelan ; those of the Emperor of Russia were at the Castle of Petersdorf. General Bulow's corps has gone into cantonments in Berlin and its neighbourhood.

The commu nications between that town, Prnque, and Vienna ! are most active. Many persons have arrived there lately. The Prince Schwartzenberg still continues to re‘ide there. JUNE 2l.—The Emperor of Austria, o'n the 17th Instant, went from Gitschen to Kosmonos Castle, near the Jungbunz!au, prepared for his Majesty's reception, Who is much better there than at Gitschen. Count MAternich set out the same day for the Castle of Opts Ana, wheTe. the Foperer Alexander arrheti the p"reeedifig evrqiftik.-` The Emperor of Russia is Recompiled by several of his Ministers and Officers of the Court. There are no military men in his suite, except his Aid-de.; Camp. The Prince of Hesse Cassel has returned from Vienna to Prague. The last town presents great activity.
