PAnts, JAN. 6.—The Senate has this extraoninary Session, under the Presidency Serene Highness the Prince Arch-Chanosllor. Government Orators repaired thither, and ideated to the Senate_ projects of Senatus decreed is Privy Council held yesterday by , jesty. These projects are, it 1$ laid, relative prolongation of the rotation of the Legislative during the actual Session, and of the contested trines. At half-past eight o'clock this , morning, testy held a Council of Commerce, which la ly eleven tours. At one o'clock his Mak Council of the Ministers. The Amateur, of the Gth, contains t . from the Duke of Albufera to the Minister . They are both dated St. Felipe, December 7. The first gives an account of au attempt made by Villamil to surprise the forts of St. Felipe, near Balaguer, by a ruse de verse. It wears, that on the 11th of November, Villamil, with 1000 men, dressed in the uniform of the sth regiment of Italian infantry, taken at Figueras, presented themselves before the fort, and answered in French to the cry of qui vere, but being soon discovered, they were received with a discharge of grape shot, which obliged them to re. tire. On the 15th and 16th, Villamil, assisted by 3 or 400 men from an English SO gun ship, which was at anchor in front, made another attack upon the fort, but with no better success. The loss on both sides was inconsiderable.—The second Report details some unimportant skirmishes near Alekly s Zecla, Segorbe, and Bexis. The 31oniteur, of the 7th, contains the following notes upon observations made - in an English News. paper : ENGLISH PAPIER.—" The Antelope, of 50 gons, sailed from Portsmouth, on Saturday morning, with 100,0001. iu gold bars on board, to pay the troops in the Peninsula." NOTE 1.-" For seven months your Army of Por tugal was not paid—this 100,0001. will not be suffi cient to liquidate the armies." ENGLISH NEWSPAPER..--" They write from Co penhagen, that the Danish Government has it in contemplation to make peace with England, &c. &c." NOTE 2, ix THE MONITEUH.- 44 DellMalli will not make peace with you ; the outrages you com mitted upon her by burning her capital in full peace, and taking her fleet, is not one of those outrages which can be effaced by money." ENGLISH PArmt.--" If Soult makes a retrograde movement, the Marquis of Wellington will certainly embark for England, &c. &c." NOTE 3, IN THE MONITEUR.—" Not only will not the Duke of Dalmatia's army make a retrograde nsovement towards France, but fresh troops are on their march to reinforce it; the effective force of the French armies in Spain amounted to 300,000 men, of whom 20,000 were cavalry, and 300 pieces of horse artillery. Those at present under arms, being , reduced to 270,000, thirty thousand have, or will in this month and that of February, march to com plete it up to 300,000 more. Andalusia will be re occupied, and if the English army is in the least weakened, Portugal will be attacked." ENGLISH PAPEZ—" We are infinitely pleased at learning that the Board of Trade has determined to put an end to the communication with France by licences, &c." NOTE 4, IN THE MONITEUR.- 44 No licence has been delivered since the arrival of the Emperor. It is very doubtful whether any will be issued. More than 500 English licences being in the possession of commercial men ; it is a vain bravado you make, as you have already delivered a sufficient quantity to nourish commerce for two years. It would be more advantageous to France and the Continent, that thereahould be no communication with you. Every licence which the French Government grants is a favour done you ; it is a drop of oil that it pours into your lamp, which has groat Deed of it. Not. withstanding your cruizers the Americans arrive in crowd, in our ports; in the mon* of December alone we can reckon more than fifty rich* laden." PARIS, JAN. 7.—The custom of calling the actors and obliging them to appear on the stage, after the pieces in which they have performed, having become an opportunity for forming very secret cabals and; cause of disorder, very contrary to the tranquillity which ought to reign at the play-houses, they have lately been prohibited yielding to such instances in future. - JAN. B.—The Prince of Neufchatel writes from Konigsberg, under date of December 29, that Count Lariboisaiere, First Inspector. General, and Com.. maisdant of Artillery, is dead , and that the General of Division F.ble t has taken the command. irszeNA, Dec. 26.—M. de Broglio, Auditor to the Council of State of his Nlajesty the Emperor of the French, lately arrived here as a courier with dispatches for our Government, sod for Count Otto. 8.--General Count.

Of the revenue which will accrue. during the year 1813, and on which the receipts of the year 1814 will principally depend, it is not practipable at this moment to form a correct estimate. So far at may be Wined from the experience Of the short.pecied which has elapsed since the declaration of war, it is not probable that the revenue derived - from customs will exceed the amount of I). 3,500,000, at which it bad been estimated in a former communioativin. The duties accrued, or which will accrue, during the last six months of this year, after deducting drawback, and expences of collection, are estimated at less than D. 9,000,000, which deducting about D. 5,500,000 on account of duties on the late importations from Great Britain, and one million for the duties on im portations from Calcutta and Chins, would not leave more than D. 2,500,000 for the ordinary revenue en those branches which are permitted by law, and from which the United States will not be pearly excluded by the law.
