The whole cavalcade aye tot ?lee! on Monday night at Uddewalla, mid proceed from thence early' on taesday morning, so as to make the grand stares at Gotteoburgh on the same even ng, before dark. . • Jaa. 2.--flis Royal Majesty's health continues daily to im prove. At an eitraordiiiary sitting of the Chapter of the Seraphin Order, his Royal Highness Prince CHRISTIVI AyGums, of Holstein Angustenburg, a Knight of that Order, with leave to wear, in addition to the insignia of the Seraphia Order, those of the Sword and North-Star. PIITERSIV UGH, Nov. 22.—A report is current here, that Lis Imperial Alajesty intends to proceed in a few weeks to Moscow, for s short time, and to repair from thence tip ttitol oashi, ID ICVIcsY his victorious army. Covidering, however, . the present political state of Europe, and finding that no pre-. potations are yet snaking for that journey, we doubt the correctness of the above report. 1114 ItirERIAL Maaasre's order, an rflirn Office is to Ise established both in Pt.btersburgli and Moscow, where all foreigners, immediately on their arrival. are to prOduce their passporis, and may accord:ngly obtain leave to remain six Months in tin tmuntry. A new regulation has also 'seen pub lished, according to which, all foreigners of the male sex are henceforth to pay a tax of teu rubles per annum, and fe males fire rubles. New Uallicia and the Circle of Zaracak are to be divided into friar departments, viz. Cracow, Rollin, Lublin, and Scheditx. • Balms ow cue MAIN, DEC. 19.--.ROMOIIr says, that one of the Princes of the Confederation of the Rhine is to with draw from the helm of Ooemmment, and to spend the remain do; of kin days in philascphie retirement. it is atm rumoured that one of the snort eminent Princes of the Confederation of the Rhine is to assume the title of High Chancellor of the Srapire.— (Stockholm Foal. Jan. 2.) --aoss r — Tug Junta at Seville continue to persevere in tiounding the alarm in the cars of the Spaniards. A Mauifcsto was published on the 20th of Deceit). bar, in which, amongst other assuranoes of sue. ' easeful resistenco, it is said, " That the wall of 46 brass which French iniquity has raised be . 46 tween the Spaniards and the French, cannot 66 be removed by transitory misfortoneL" Its another part of this Manifesto, 44 ell the jewels 46 and plate of the churches, not necessary fur '' public worship," are put in requisition. A determination is announced to augment the arnsies with 100,000 men, and to provide 100,000 laneee t sod 100,000 paignards, to be " distribtited mining 46 the provinces where they may be of use." 2 * it WAS not by Manifestoes that the people of ErasCil resisted the formidable Coali!inu that re. Molted from the Treaty of Piliiitz. hitherto tlas • walls of Madrid, Saragossa, and other ,fortified towns, hare been found insufficient to resist the . French. Wu should rejoice to find that this 66 Wall of Brass" presented a more invincible species of defence ; but we must confess we have little hope of soy measure projected by the Junta of Seville. 1, 1 " •e•• INDIA sXocit, which yesterday was worth 190, • has this day been sold at 181—a sudden drop of sine per cent. ! So far from being surprised at • this natural consequence of the information that has been published on the subject of India, we arc somewhat astonished that a buyer can be found. For India Bonds, which were yesterday at 2t shillings, there is this Jay no ?narks?, though a very little business was done at eight shillings. .- _vim-.-_ Tire fullowing report is confidence: -- The John Adams, American frigate, on mak. log ror tbB Tezeti was lammed by the British squadron on that station, that understanding the frigate to have a cargo of dollars on board, she could not be permitteit to enter an enemy's port. The American frigate has returned to Deal, where an Officer was landed, and proceeded to . Mr. PINKNLY, in London. It is added in this account, that loins shots were e;clianged before Capt. EVANI, the Commander ,of the American frigate, would alter his course. Other accounts state the John Adams to have returned to Doves merely in consequence of foul weather. It it also reported, that the Officer of the Cruizer specifically stated, that there email be no objection to permitting the American frigate to enter the Texcl, with dispatches—the cargo of dollars was the sole objection. This transaction, as it has been stated, appears to us incredible. 4 diseOv,ery is reported to have been made of tie defileation of a Public Accountant, to the amount of three hundred thousand pounds. Letters from tioHand to a very late date were yesterday received. They state, that the relax*. /ion in the strict execution of the Berlin and Milan decrees had already occasioned a material rise in the price of Brandies and Wines, whilst all arts,, elk of Colonial produce were depressed. By the three Gottenburgh Mails which arrived yesterday, letters were received from St. Peters. burgh of the 15th ult. by which it appears that the deficiency in the Russian commerce had ex. cited the greatest alarm in the cabinet of thatcoun. try; Count RODIANZOFY had found it expedient to hold out prospective advantages to the Mer chants, which had apin raised the exchange from 15d. to 21d. per ruble. . A private letter from Dunkirk, dated dle irth instant, states:— " The present is to inform you of what is passing . here re, specting trade, which begins now to revive a little, since both G 'vernments dre granting licences for the importation and ex portation of cert .ingomts. Above 1O) cargoes of corn have already been expedited from hence fur the port of London." We have announced the arrival of the Pickle schooner, with General Corrox on board, and also a bag of letters from Portugal. The follow ing is an extract from one, dated the beginning of last mouth, from Elvas ;. " I believe it is all over with the Slumlords.- The French, I have been just laurelled, by good authority, have advanced as far a. Talavera de la Remit. It is probable this move ment of theirs will force us to quit our present cantonments. Our engineers are busily employed In fortifying all the Wong_ places from Santarein on the . Tips, down as far its Lisbon, and front thence to Cascaes; which leads us to believe that the Cionnander in Chtef is resolved to contend every loch or ground as far as Lisboa. Lord WSLLINGTOM pawed through this town on Sunday last, on his return from a hooting party at Villa Viten), a royal demesne between ' this ant - Lisbon. The sick with the army are still very mu-' userous. They are doily arriving here, and the eonvidemeuts are sent off from this to the town of Fatrentos. Illness is not ' confined to the soldiers alone—the officers have equally suf. ,! fored ; very few Medical Gentlemen of either the Army or Stair have escaped an attack of the fever which prevails.— A melancholy circumstance took place a day or two ago nt T , rre Major; a Lieutenant of the 39th, insi delirium from re-' ver, got out of bed, took a razor and cut his throat, of which he died soon after. Mr. Kidd, the Surgeon who attended him, caught the fever, and also in a fit tk f derangement, leaped into a well and was drowned. Dr. east Physician to the forces . , died on the 28th of last month, f fever, which he caught in the hospital here, universally regretted by every person who h.id the pleasure of knowing him. fieveralothen of the Medical Statl are dangerously ill." A French privateer has captured eight American vessels in the Mediterranean, within the space of five weeks, and sent them to Marseilles. The Americans were mostly from Spanish ports. Two i t tmish line.of-battle shill, with. specie, from the liavaustah, arrived at Cadiz on the 2.lth . ult. Yesterday Goverpment granted licences for ex. portation and importation from the Baltic. • There are letters from liilboa of the 31st of December, which say, that an embargo has been laid upon American vessels there, and also the crews are imprisoned. For some years past thero has been detained by out Government certain effects belonging to TAL -4E Y itA ND, books, papers, &c. ; within a short pe. clod, M. TALLETICAND wrote a polite letter, re. questing those infects lobe sent to him, which our Government readily complied with. The rumour of a change in Administrfition still prevails ; but it is'not probable that any 'new at. : rangement of importance can be accomplished un til after the meetitig of Parliament. . Lord CHARLES SOMERSET is not appointed-po. vernor of Portsmouth, and the place is not yet tilled. - Tho Minority dinners in private have commenced. To.morrow Earl C I IOLMONDLEY gives one, to which Earl GREY, Lord pREN T ILVE Lord 'ER SKINE, Lord HOLLAND, Mr.TUOMAS REV VILLE, 1-Ir. TIERNEY, and several others of the Opposi. tion, are, invited. These dinners will increase in Number in proportion as the party expects to come into place! ARISTIPPUS was asked the difference between a •Icarned and an ignorant man ? "To make the diseovery ,at once," said be, 66 strip , them both naked, and send them among strangers." The Hon. MARTIN HAWKE, and Mr. FENTON SCOTT, have matched themselves fur WO guineas, to ride four miles across a country; next month ; the day and pl.ice to be fixed by Mr. D. LEGAUD. The follies of the fashionable world will corn. mence early the present winter. Lady SMITH BuItGESS, of Hyde-Park Corner, has issued cards fur a grand rout on Thursday next. This insipid species of amusement is considered delightful, in proportion as the idlo attendant, are completely squeezed. The Master and Wardens pf the !Ulcers/ Com pany this day waited en the Lord Mayor to settle the price of Bread, when his Lordiliip, after in specting the Mealweigherls' Mimi; ordered it to advancs ld. In the peck loaf. • STAT IS M A circulated wits ■urea 1 To rim EDII AN EDITOR or THE STATESMAN. appean by your paper, dist a Jew, of the name of De Yonge, Is connii‘faii for trial for his life, on a charge ''of selling the cur rent coin of the realm, called Guineas, at a higher price than the current value." If a emsetry JO/- dee of Peace, on the charge of an over4eakus Exciseman, had committed, orfully committed, • vagrant Jew on such a charge, I should have been l oontewhat surprised; but my astonishment is on. bounded, when I am told, that the Chief Magis trate of the City of London, assisted, as I suppose , him to have been, by legal advice, at the instant:s of the Solicitor to the Mint, should have violated the personal liberty of a British subject on seas cobweb imputation. The fact is not hitherto U. plained, but I suppose it to have been, that the Jew exchanged his Guineas for Bank Notes—that' is, he bought Bank Notes instead of sold Gui. nos,. and for so doing should, if at all, have been prosecuted by the Solicitor to the Bank, instead of the Mint. " The very head and front of his offending" is, that be ventured to assert practically the position that Batik paper is new at a discount, a truth, ,which, though I most powerfully and potently believe, yet it is not held good that the rascally knaves should bring to so bold a proof, as abso lutely to sell their guineas after the rate of 225. 6d. bank paper.. It is drawing the conclu sion tighter than is agreeable to the feelings of many persons in high situations, and is so much worse than any argument on the subject, that there is really no satisfactory mode of meeting the point, except by hanging the Jew culprit, who, I hope, has not the impudence to expect to be treat. ed like a Christian on this occasion. To call him " circumcised dog, and spit upon his Jewish Ga. berdine," would, in such a.case, be treating him too mildly. L t et him In banged, by all means,, for, I have said before, that there is no other sa. tisfadory way of meeting the emergency—there is nothing between this and the resumption of cash payments at the Bask I and that is an alterna. tive, which, under existing circumstances, would be highly disagreeable. But, Sir,- it has been well said, that 'the letters directed by prejudice were not always delivered according to their addresses— and, I fear, that the zeal of the S,olicitor to the Mint, has, in this instance, outstepped his judg. meat. It does not appear that the Jew had clip. bed the guineas( (though, from the facility with which he parted with them l , I do not suspect them to have been very weighty ones), nor is it hinted that the offence with which he stands charged, bad any tendency to depreciate the current coin of the kingdom, unless indeed he considered Ban* notes NS cash. The simple fact Is, that the Jew bought Bank notes, just as I buy a house, for as little Money as may be, and that the Solicitor to tht. Mint (probably without any 'previous convcrsa lion with his friend, the Clerk of the Irons) claps him into a prison for so doing. Now, I beg leave to ask, in what way, pions can , ever again find their way into circulation, but by the mediuln of some , operation equivalent to that'' of Mr. ' De Yonge, I mean by bringing to a fair test the, writs of the two different specks of circulation, the Metallic and the Papyral. They have their several excellencies, and separate defects. We never shall, having experienced the use and abuse of both, utterly proscribe either; but in order to avail ourselves of the advantages of both, I believe we cannot do better than to suffer them to meet each other fairly in the arena of a public market, and to stand or fall by their respective- internal merits. If this doctrine be sound, some man, like 11r. De _Yonge, must open an Office, over the door of which will be written " Bank Notes bought and sold here." He cannot long be detain. ed in prison, and I assure him he may very in. noccutly and simply buy and sell Bank Notes 8411 freely as any other commodity;. though perhaps he cannot easily engage in any commerce which will so much tend to the welfare of every other branch of it, to his own benefit, and that of the community at large. • " ARISTIPPUS."
