A letter from Hamburgli states, that the object of the late *JAvocation of Russian Governors of Provinces, at St. P. t rsburgh, was the consideration of certain pro- 1 jel:b-t1 changes in the organization of the empire. It is re ported that the Emperors of Russia and Austria will meet iu ihe canes of next month at Prague. A letter from Vienna of the nth April says—" W: hear that a very active earn giotide•tre is cart ying on between Lord Strangford and Sir Harry Wellesley, the English Ambassador at our Court. and that the latter has received instructions to arrange with Prine: Metternich the diplomatic measures to In: WWI unanimously for the purpose of putting a speedy end to the netveiations now carrying on with the Porte." Aram His 3lMes.y has issued a new Decree relative to the Netherlands Commercial Society. Finding from the report of Ministers that the auma subsetibgal the first day amounted to 119,465,2.10 florins, whereas it wan fixed by the first 11ecree that the original fund of the n.•irty should be 12 ntilltons, but might in the sequel be raised to 21 ; his Majesty has now fixed the fund of the Society at :17 indodieg the four millions inscribe:l foe the Xing and the Royal Family, under the same guarantee as fixed In the preceding Decree. The inscriptions made on the first day shall he arcepto!, in proportioo to their amount, viz. those of two shares and under, witheut rrshiction ; those of four shares and under, fur two ►harts; at gi those •live four shares at half their amount.

On the 30th April the shareholders shall choose Deputies, in order to draw up with the Roils, Commissioaers a plan for the proceetli.igs of the Society.

A msr En DAM, APRIL 23.—Exchange on London, 39 2. ; two months, 39. .. H A MM:RIM, A PRI I. Id. The motives are now known which have induced the Rumian Government to convoke a certain number of the Governor* of Provinces at St. Peentburgh. Those who have most experience in such matters have been assembled in the capital, in order to know their opinion on the projected changes in the organisation of the administration of the Russian empire. There have been several sittings, in which these changes have been discussed. The result of these deliberations; is, that the changes ought not to be intro. duceil simultaneously, but successively, and that they must be prepared for a kmger or shorter period, according to the situation and internal state of each Government. The refuema that are pro ljeckd are very extensive. We understand that most of the in tended changes have been introduced into the Government of Orel!. ..... Itonicellately after the close of the above conferences, a great I number of new Governors were named. There have not only been I many changes, hut also new appointments. It is observed that several of the governors who were present at the conferences have been changed, and sent as superior Civil Governors to those pro. vine.% where the new etgenization is to be introduced immediately. The following is an extract from a private letter from St. Peters- , burgh, of Martin 35, relative to a journey projected by the Ern pemr Alexander:— The two Emperors, before they parted last autumn, in thc Duck owina, agreed to meet again next autumn in Italy, and the city of Florence was fixed upon as the place of rendezvous. The Emperor of Austria intended to set out in the month of March for Italy, and to remain there till the autumn. The Enmeror Alexander intended to Knout to the month of May, but since Isis indisposition, his Majesty has given up the intention of going to Italy. It is staid that he has taken this resolution by the advice of his physicians; though other accounts soy that other circumstances have hindered their journey. The Emperor of Austria was informed without delay of the resents which hindered the Emperor of Russia from executing his plan. It is in consequence of this communication that the Emperor of .%tistria resolved to defer his journey to Italy till September, and acquanded the Emperor Alexander with his intention of going to Prague in the month of May. lln this the latter resolved to go to Itohemis at the same time ; and thus the interview planned will take place in that kingdom. It is asserted that the Emperor of Russia will pass some weeks at Carlsbad, for the benefit of the mineral waters. The two Prime Ministers, Prince I%le%ternich and Count Nesselrode, will have conferences at Prague at the saute titue. StMAEFIIAVREN. APRIL 15. The mass of snow In Switzerland has considerably augmented lardy ; it is now seventeen fe:t deep on the top of slount. €1 lif;..eit feet deep hear the little Convent. Several roads in the mountains have become wholly impassable. The Paris Papers of Saturday and Sunday, which reached us yesterday, polcsess little of any interest. The Jmormil des Drlstls alludes to the rumoured meeting of two of the confederates of the Holy Alliance—the Rus ' sian Emperor and Frederick-William of Prussia, at Prague, on the subject of the situation of the East of Eu rope. The Jwirreal des Delatx does not deny that such an interview is arranged, though it seeks to throw doubts upon it, and says, that far front being divided, the Powers of the Continent arc at this moment in perfect accord, and in a spirit of brace and conciliation respecting the aftitirs of the Eist. This we do not believe. Strong jealousy, we are persuaded, exists on the part of Austria, excited by the ill-txmccaled &sip's of Russia, against the two principali ties and the Turkish Provinces. The two Emperors parted coldly at their last meeting, at Czernowitz, and arranged • nothing respecting Greece. Failing in bringing over Austria to his plans, Alexander may now consent to admit Fre derick-William as a sharer in the Imperial spoil, and strengthen himself against Austria and France by the alli ance. The two latter Powers must regard the increasing power and ambition of Russia with no friendly eye. Guil leminot was about to set oat on his mission to the Porte. There is nothing beside of any moment in the Paris Journals worth attending to. Before the recess Br. Phillimore introduced a Bill into the Lower House, " to enable Roman Catholic Priests to solemnise marriages among Roman Catholics, under cer tain restrictions, and give certificates of the marriages, baptisms, or burials performed by them, and directing such certificates to be entered on the registers of the parish or chapelry of the place in which the same shall he per formed." This Bill has since been printed. It recites the Act of :Id James the First, for preventing dangers front Popish recusants. That statute enacted, " that every matt, being a Popish recusant convict, who should he married otherwise than in some open church or chapel, and other wise than according to the orders of the Church of England, by a Minister lawfully authorised, should be disabled to have any estate of freehold into any lands of his wife, as tenant by courtesy ; and every woman, being a Popish recusant convict, who should be married in any other form, should be disabled not only to claim any dower of the in heritance of her husband, or any jointure of his lands, but also of her widow's estate and frankbank in any customary lands whereof her husband died seised, and likewise be dis abled to Lief any part of her husband's goods ; and if any such man should be married with any woman otherwise than as aforesaid, which woman shouhl have no lands whereof he might be entitled to be tenant by the courtesy, this statute subjected him to a fine or forfeiture of one hundred poutsls, half to go to the King. and half to the infontier suing fur same. 'fbis proscriptive statute further enacted, that every Popish recusant who thereafter should have any child born, should within one mouth next after its birth, cause the child to be baptized by a lawful Minis ter, according to the laws of this realm, in the open church of the same parish where the child should be born, under a penalty of one hundred pounds further to be forfeited, by the father or mother of such child, one third of such pen alty to go to the Crown, and the remainder to be divided between the informer and the poor of the parish. An other clause enacted, that if any Popish recusant, man or woman, not being excommunicate, should be buried in any other place than in the church or church-yard, or no t according to the ecele.dastical laws of this realm, that the executors or administrators of every such person so buried, should forfeit the aunt of twenty pounds, to be awarded in the same proportions as the penalty preceding. This was one or the persecuting statutes of those early days, passed soon after the accession of the First James, when the Reformation was still cone;ived in danger, front numerous and powerful enemies in England, and when proscription in its worst form was unloosed in Ireland. The pedantic and contemptible Jaunts—whose toothier, the beautiful and unfortunate Mary, had died an attached Catholic—was not, himself, a friend to persecutiim ; but he was sur rounded by those Puritans—sworn and irreeoncileable ene mies of the Catholics—who find, appeared as a party about the middle of the reign of Elizabeth, and subsequently were powerful enough to bring the hapless Charles to the block. ruder their influence this statute, and others of the name description, were paved ; and to the disgrace of this coun try, many of them, and this among the number, have since blotted the statute-book. Dr. Phillintore's Bill, u we have atat&d, rep:ah; this Act, and also that of the 4th of his 'present Majesty (the Marriage Act,) as far as it concerts Roman Catholics. It recites that Roman Catholics art desirous of being marshal by their own Clergy, and then enacts, that the latter may solemnize marriages between persotis both of whom are Catholic, the parties presenting themselves for that purpose Producing a certificate of the banns or licence ; the marriage to be celebrated in the presence of two witnesses, and a certificate sic tied by the clergyman, the parties, red there witnesses, The form of the certificate is provided by the Bill, sod this certificate, it enacts, the Boman Catholic Priestisolem ming tile marriage shall, within a certain number of days after the solemnization of the manic, deliver to the parson, vicar, minister, or curate of the parish or chapel!) , within which any such marriage shall be solemnized. The cur -1 tificate so delivered is to be inserted in the parish book where marriages arc registered ; and the certificate and mi nute are made equal evidence of the marriage as an entry in the parish register, by a subsequent clause. Roman Ca- I tholic Prit sts solemnizing marriage in any other manner, !or not delivering certificates of such marriages, are adjudged I Mons. The Bill then recites the clause of the Act of the SA of his late Majesty, which provides for the registra tion of births or burials performed by persons who are not ministers of the parish or chapclry in which they are pee lformed; and after sta ting th at doubts may be en tet tained who ! they that clause of the Sttd (;co. 111. extends to baptisms and burials performed by Roman Catholic priests, the Bill con cludes by enacting, that the clause in question should regu- I late the baptisms and burials performed by Roman Catholic Cergymen ; and that for the purpose of this Act, no other evidence for proving the person performing such baptism or burials shall be necessary than the registration of the certificate of his having performed time same. This Will is most creditable to Dr. Phillimore; its clauses arc simple and of ; there is nothing of the leaven of ancient pre judice about it, that marked the Irish Burial Bill. We trust that both this Act, and that for the relief of Unitarian dissenters on the same subject, will receive the solemn sanc tion of the Legislature this Session, when we are taking ' up new and more enlightened commercial principles, and renovating both our trailing and financial code. The illi beral and unworthy proscription that disgraces our statute testi; should net be passed by ; it is time that the rights of conscience should at length be respected. Religion should be a question only between man and his Creator ; no tem poral power liu a right to intrude its authority in concerns so sacred ; prescription has never yet answered any pur ' rose hut to increase the sect against which it was directed. We trust that the remnant of this foul and tyrannical code will soon be expunged from our statute book for ever.

Some of the J 041111114 have spoken of an approaching interview between the Emperor of Rossic and the King of Prussia at Prague. According to some of them, their object at this inteniew is to dis cuss the affairs of the East in a spint opposed to that of some othtr Cabinets. Our correspondence does not supply us with any information which could presage such an interview ; and, far from being divided, the Powers arc at this moment in perfect accord, and in a spirit of peace and conciliation tespecting the &Skin of the East. I From the Journal dr Commerce.] PARIA, APRIL 24. A correspondent of the /Ifermoria/ Bard,lois invites the Journals to imitate the custom established in England during the meeting of Parliament, of publishing the name of each Deputy present at the discussion of the laws proposed to the Chamber, and the man ner in which he votes. This proposal appears to us to be perfectly reasonable in principle, anal useful in all countries which possess a Representative tinverninent. Whoe the citizens really nominate their Deputies, it is quite natural that they should feel interested lin what they do, and narrowly watch their conduct, in order that they may treat theta, on their return to their localities, according Ito their merits. But if the Representation be fictitious, all interest in it ceases, and such watchfulness can have no result or object. A lamentable accident occurred on Saturday last, at ten o'clock in the morning, at Ronchamp, ne nr llefont. The subterranean air of some coal mines near that place suddenly took fire, with a dread ful noise, and in a moment all the passages were choked up by the fallen earth. Twenty persons, amongst whom was the muter of the mines, who had entered a few minutes previous to the explo sion, were taken out dead. Four ;arsons, grievously wounded, were also found, Mit we are still ignorant of the exact number missing. A man and his wife, who had run to save their son, also became victims of the disaster.

The French Garde% du Corps complain much of having been obliged to leave Madrid to follow the Court, which is in fact Ivry General Bourinont. devoted to the clergy. is using his in. flurnee to get lion Vit for Slier restored to the Ministry. There is still a want of harmony between the General and the Ambits . . . A Decree of the King orders works to be undertaken for the pur. pose of bringing water to Madrid, which, in the summer, is ex tremely scarce. A title and patents of Nobility are promised to him woo will undertake the work. Foreigners may partake in li, and will enjoy great privileges. The King has nominated three Bishops and two Archbishops. The Mario eontains a long article against several passages of a libel, said to have conic front England, which attacks the system that it scents intended to hillow in Spain. The Spanish writer says, on the contrary, that no happiness can be hoped for, except under an absolute Govetantent, /sc. All the Ambassador go to Toledo, except the English Ambas. sador, who dues not god an hotel to suit him, and will not leave Madrid. The King will remain at Aranjuez till the illth, and return to Aranjuez before he goes to the baths of Sacednn. On the I I th, • train of forty mules. loaded with money, arrived at Madrid. Under the Constitutional Government, the corps of Advocates had pre. sented a petition, in which it requested that the statutes of the order might be regulated in conformity with the new laws. Pro ceedings are now instituted against several of those who signed this petition, and it is reported that they will he banished. All kinds of persecution continue ; those who held offices under the late Go. veroment are daily in danger of being put into prison, or exiled from the capital. The Marquis of !ilatallorida is here with his two sons: he is going to his embassy or exile at Turin. The Spanish prisoners continue to pass through here; they are very miserable, and fear the moment when they shall reach their own country. Papers and letters were yesterday received from Deme rara to the ith ultimo. Their contents are of the most gloomy description ; the inhabitants had been greatly alarmed by nightly meetings of the negroes on the East coast, where the late insurrection had broken out. There had been rmetings of the principal inhabitants, who had come to a resolution to expel all Missionaries from the Colonies. Letters were vestertlay received from Gibraltar, dated the sth instant. 4 No intelligence had been received from Algiers. The British men of war continued to convoy merchantmen bound up the Mediterranean. The Bran atoll, of London, has arrived at Gibraltar, from Trinidad ; she had been plundered, OW Porto Rico, by an Independent privateer. Accounts from Batavia of the end of December, state, that the English merehant Thornton, who had been taken by the Malays, was daily looked for. The Nautilus Dutch ' sloop of war had been detained to bring him to Batavia. A letter front Smyrna, dated March 5, announces fresh atrocities on the part of the Turks. " The villa of Fed i heti," it says, " has just been the theatre of a sanguinary 1 eatastrupbe. Eiehty-tour (;reeks have been massacred at I that place. A Turk, returning from his cheflit, fell from his horse, and was wounded by his datjger, which came out of its sheath. Ile was carried to Follieri's house, where the people followed him, asking by whom he had beta wounded ? Ile answered, that it was by himself, in congequenee of a fall from his horse. • No,' cried the multitude, • the Greeks did it.' In vain did he assure them to the contrary; the people, excited by ill-disposed per ' sons, attacked all the Greeks whom they met in the streets urn the 11th and Itth of February, and massacred eighty four. Tranquillity was partially restored on the 19th." A s Extract of a letter, dated April 13:—" The country round the warlike city of Algiers is very moun tainous, having snow out the tops and sides in the higher regions; but the hills and valleys arc beautifully orna mnted with trees, and all the fiats are in high cultiva tion. The city F lands on the point of the Mole Head ; the buildings are chiefly of white stone, angular shaped ; there are latteries, with heavy brass guns, all round to wards the sea, and a light-house nearly as high as the Monument in London, with an immense luminary on its summit ; a half-moon battery of IYO guns protects the entrance into the Mole. In the inner Mole or harbour we can distinctly see the mast. of several frigates and small cruisers. Soon after we anchored in the bay, the Captain I of the port came on board ; he is a tine manly-looking per sonage, with a long bushy grey heard, an immensely long red tur ban,l long red trowsers or wrappers and a blue coat or jacket richly embroidered with gold braiding on the 3110 - . den, back, elbows, and writts ; he wore no stockings, his t slippers were of thin bite leather, without strings or • buckles. The Dey still peruses to allow the English Consul to have his flag flying within the walls of Algiers. P2SIIIONABLE IXTELLIGENCR.

In the earliest stages of society some one article of uniretral use and demand must have been referred to for the purpesse of estimating the value of articles bartered or sold. Homer men tioned the armour of Diomede as worth ten oxen, while that of of tilaucus was worth one hundred oxen. Corn. salt, fish, flee. came to be used in this manner in various countries, at dilfeteix times. But such a medium of exchange was liable to decay ; it was too bulky to be conveyed from place to ;dace. and it was too variable in its value. Gold and silver were therefore adopted, as possessing solidity of texture, to preserve them from decay, value enough to make them easily transportable,and pennan.ocs of exchangeable price. it was not the arbitrary choice of society, but their real titn,ss for a medium of exchange, which introduced tine use of the precious metals. At first gold and silver were exchanged according to their weight. Thus Abraham wets said in the Sacred Writings to have weighed so many shekels of silver to the sons of Beth for a piece of ground. But the weighing and assaying con sumed much time and labour in every instance of baiter or c.a. change ; it liecsote therefore necessary to mark pieces or geld add silver, as being of certain aacertaineel weight and fineness. yin age saved useless and unproductive labour in weighing and assay ing, and facilitated productive labour, by furnishing a ready and ascertained commodity for exchange. Mr. M'Culloch then showed that coin could not be called the sirs or the IllellSH Er of value: a Ilatek.note might be considered the sign of the value which it represented. A sovereign was no more the measure ot . the value of two bushels than two bushels were of the value of a sovereign. He proceeded then to explain the laws which regulated the ex chargeable value of the precious metals. Their exchanges.ble value was to be cousidered in two views. First, when there w. s a free competition in bringing them to market ; and, secondly, wheo there was a monopoly, and the supply was limited. lo the ev,,e case their exchangeable value was regulated, as that of other cm. modities, by the cost of production. The labour of mining and rendering the metals nierketable constituted their exchangcatie value. This value was increased or dintinislied,according to.he skill or machinery used or not used in working the mimes. But if there was a monopoly of the precious metals, the value was increased cc diminished as the supply was greater or less. Supposing the CU!. limey of this country were fifty millions, it was quite evident that, if the commodities fur which this currency was exchangeable sere doubled, the value of the metals would also be doubled. In no. nopoly, therefore, the exchangeable value was inversely as the supply. This important view of the exchangeable value was fad established by the great work of Mr. Ricardo. It was usual to charge what was called seigniorage upon coin, that wax, a price for the expense of coinage. If the currency of this country were fifty millions of gold sovereigns, this charge at 10 per cent. would be five millions. The tear and wear, and looses by shipwrecks, fire, &c., would require an annual importation of one million. To avoid these heavy charges, a substitute was in- I troduced. Paper was found the fittest and the best substitute. Writing was early used as a sure record of money claimed or due. This record of a debt by a man of great opulent e and undoubted I solvency would he received as equivalent to the ructicy of which it was the evidoice. ' Mr. 3I'CU I. LOC!t here gave a full explacation of the origin and nature of banking. Ile intimated that in his next lecture he would finish this sub ject by explainirg the means by which paper currency cuuld le duly limited.

MEETING or THI: CATHOLIC CLEIWT.—The Catholic Clergy of the city of Dublir. assembled yesterday, and passed a series of resolutions d,claratory of the practice in cases of Catholic burials in l'rotcstant church-yards, in the metropolis, timing the last forty years. Thi resolutions are drawn up with all the mildness and tempt ranee which so well become the sacred character of Christian Ministers, and are remarkable for a cautious and highly commendable abstinence from a single phrase or Et iltiment which could give offence to any human beiag.—DuL/in frerniax's Jwirmil of Saturday. . ..... Leotert. 1) FA I P A P.—A very curious rerort relative to ■ tragedian, and the lady of a cert:iin City Alderman, has now become the t-pic of mystical cunversation. We shall not, in flu• pressnt state of tlit• affair, give to the cir cumstance " a local habitation and a name," but content ourselves with noticing the occurrence after the manner in which it has been eminnunicated La us. It is said them that the tragedian being en tams of intimate intercourse with the family of the Ahlta man, was thought by his lady to be " a marvellous proper man." On one of his morn ing visits, the luckless votary of Melpomene was found (rot in the study of the worthy Alderman, or in the audience parlour) but " capering, nimbly in the lady's cliander and this discovery was made by no less a personage than the Alderman himself! The tragedian fled, vociferating, '• A horse, a horse, my Ins! ins for a horse," and in a pa nic—more terrible than that created by the ghosts of King Henry, Queen Anne, and the Young Princes, it was not until ht• arrived at a friend's residence, that—" Richard was himself again." Fearing that "he had done some thing that looks thsgracious in the City's eye," the untiw- Mate gentleman, we understand, meditates leaving town, in the hope that absence, and a change of scene, may " ad minister to a mind diseased," and reconcile domestic dif ferences in another quarter.—Sentlay Monitor. Saturday morning, two children, of the name of Isaacs, were unforionatily knocked down and run over by a huckster's cart, on the Hard • Ponsea, by which one of them died imme diately, and the other wan so severay iujurcd that it lice ins 6.- germs state. No fault is attributable to the. driver : they were he sitating while crossing the street, and were under the wheels of the ' cart before the siw then.
