The Legion of the Jura is going to Wetssetediurg and Lsuterhurg, where it is to be in garrison. Detachments of French troops already occupy these two places as well as Hagenau ; they were re ceived with every demonstration of joy ; entertain ments were given, and the King's health was drank with entlinsia.rn. The officers of the 3 , 1 Wirtemherg regiment of infatitry have bid farewell in the politic papers to the inhabitant~ of Weissemburg. 03 the 24 . h the Prefect of the Upper Rhine gave a grand farewell dinner to the General-in- Chief, the Generals Commanders of the Corps, and Staff Officers of the Austrian army.

It is difficult to predict the cansegiiences or this scarcity of money. All those who are judges of these matters, attribute it to the financial operations of various Guvertintents, who, by making loans almost all at the same time, exhaust the funds of the monied men, and either shut up there funds in their coffers, or bring them at least into hands which withdraw them fur a time from circulation.

LON DON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, Isis. We have received Brussels, ilamburah, German, and Dutch Papers, of recent dates. On the break ing up of the Army of Occupation, the Duke . of WELLINGTON addressed an order of the day to the several contiogetits, in which he complimented them on the exemplary discipline uniformly manifested by the Allied troops during the period of their continuance in France, and also expresses his con viction, that if the Allied Sovereign* have attained the object they proposed to themselves, in occupy ing for a certain space of time the northern frontier of France, this advaiittge is to be attributed solely to the prudence of the officers and the good con duct of the troops employed iu that delicate and important service. An occurrence which took place during the war in the Peninsula, when Lord WELLINGTON strdngly censured the British army for the want of discipline it evinced on the retreat from Burgos, *hews that his Grace would be but little disposed to pay compliments where they were not merited, which consequently give* a value to his present commendations that cannot fail of being highly appreciated. We notice this with the more satisfaction, as the French Papers have already offered their 'need of praise to the Allied troops, whose general conduct must therefore be presumed to have been superior to censure, and calculated to leave an impression on the minds of the French people which is likely to be attended with good effects. An article from Berlin, speaking of the late fair at Ftaukfart, breathes the customary spirit of cow martial rivalry towards this country. It is stated that the English manufactures were not in large quantities at the fair, and were sold at unu.uslly high prices. This gave the German manufac turers an opportunity of a good market ; but the •• blunders have received large orders fur the en suing fair," consequently the Continentslists •' must defer their hopes of successful competition to more favourable times." Nothing can prove more de cidedly the superiority of the British commodities than this acknowledgment by the writer in Berlin ; for even prices unusually high, aided by every feeling of hostility which national and commercial animosity can excite, are not sufficient to drive the British merchant front the best markets on the Cotonou% Several individuals have lately been arrested in Brussels, but although they have undergone some examinations, the cease of this proceeding remains as yet unknown. Their detention, however, is supposed to have some reference to the late al leged conspiracy for the escape of NAPOLEON. Rumours have been widely circulated, nut only in the Netherlands, lint in France, that the object of this conspiracy had been effected, and that BO• NAPARTE is now at liberty. We learn from private intelligence, that • very lively sensation was pro duced in Paris by the first intimation of this event. 11'hatever is strongly desired is readily believed, and in little doubt was entertuined respecting it by his numerous partisans in Paris, that they mani fested considerable exultation, and were ob4erved to hold many and anxious conferences. Such a state of moral irritation, approaching to what u►iglit be term ed a political fever, ought to be checked as soon as possible. This might easily be effected by an official declaration on the part •f our Government, that NAroccoN was still safe in the custody of Sir HUDiON Lowe, or by a publication of the dis patches recently received from St. Helena; and where the i►nlartance of such an object is suffi ciently nianifest, the advantage of attaining it would justify a departure Irons that high and dig nified system of rccrel, and magnanimous con tempt for public opinion, by which the British Ca binet has for some time Leta dist:ngnished. We have received Paris Papers of 'Tuesday lag. the 17th instant. On that day the King of FRANCE had completed his 61,1 year. 1 he anui wear) of his MAJESIV's lit was by a s i •leailtil dinner at Omit, at which is:l the Princes rod Princesses a the I.llootl-ltilyal wtre niftlitblcd. It is expected that all the 'stresses held by the Atha in ['react Rihl ba surrtudtrtd to the French Authorities on the 14th. and that not a foreign soldier in arms will be within the French frontiers on the last day of November. In Spain exertions are still making for the equipment of the lung-threatened expedition. The celebrated Count D'AstrinAL, who had originally been appointed to the commend of this armament, and whose removal flop this office was lately mentioned, has been made Governor of Cadiz and of Andelns . 's, Hod the expe dition is again said to be under Ins rommand.— Miserably low must the power of Spain save fallen. when, with nil the exertion's of the Government. despotic as it is, and stimulated by pride and ven geance, a few thousand men cannot be equipped to suspend the luss of ballast empire. The Government of Sweden has devised a new system of taxation which seems to embrace every object to which a tax can possibly be rffixed : the most remarkable provisions of the law ire these— Every male who has completed his fifteenth year, shall pay till his eighteenth year inclusive an animal impost of Si shillings in bank. When lie has accomplished his nineteenth year, he shall pay one 'ix dollar. Every female who has completed pier fifteenth year shall pay till her eighteenth year inclusive an annual impost of 16 shillings ; and having com pleted her 19th year, shall pay g 4 shillngan year. This impost ►hull continue until their 63,1 year, when it shall cease, unless they have a net revenue of 50 rix dollars arising frosn property o► indultry. An Income Tex is imposed upon every class of society, payable at several rates, according to their rank, and from which not even the actors, actresses, musicians, ►ingers, and dancers, are exempt.— These arti.ts are divided into four classes, of which the first ►hall puy 25, and the last 5 per cent.; they are also to pay a fine on their appointments. Ad ditional taxes are imposed upon bachelors and widowers. The French. Funds were en lkientholy—the Fire per Cent.'. 70 1. 10 c.; Musk stock, 1,5701.. We have received Norfolk Papers to the 22d last. They contradict the arcount (lately pub lished in the American Papers) of the defeat of CHRISTOPHR by General BOYER, no such battle having taken place. We have received Jamaica Gazettes to the 18t ultimo. The following articles' are extracted born thew, co:11106mi% the only intelligence which they bring : KINGSTON, OCTOBER 17. By the Bearer w e learn. that the Andromache frigate. of 42 I, Captain William Ilenry Shir reff, had arrived at Lima from Portsmouth, for the purpose of affording protection to British vessels iu the South Stag. FALMOUTH, OCTOBER 7. _ _ _ We are informed by a gentleman who left Cuba a few drys ego, that accounts had been received there of a battle having been fought between the forces under Bolivar and the Royal Army, com manded by General Mnrillo, near the river Oronoco, in which the former was defeated with great Ins.; but retiring upon his reserve, a second eopigement took place a few days afterwards, and the Royalists were most decisively vanquished. General Murillo himself was taken prisoner, and, with many of his principal officers, shot four hours afterwards. By letters received at Margaritta, from Angos tura, it appears that the Patriot infantry had been entirely destroyed by the Spaniards. Their canary, which was numerous, could not, from the excessive rains, operate at this season of the year. Admiral Brion, with his squadron, and several store-ships from England, with an immense supply of military stores, had strived at Augustora. The American frigate Congress arrived at Mar garine the latter end of June, with Commissioners to that Government. The stature of their taipsion had not transpired. Several prizes have lately been brought into Mar. garitta ; among others • Danish schooner, for a breach of blockade. She was condemned and sold. We have received Virginia Papers to the tgrl ult. The intelligence from America becomes every day of more interest. Detachments of military continue to be ordered to the southward, for the alleged purpose of protecting their frontier against the In. dims ; but we now learn that large reinforcements are ordered to Amelia Island, where there can be no pretext of Indians as a cause fur such proceeding. The following are t xtracts:— NORFOLK, OCTOBER 21. The detachments of iiilmory, whine arrival from Baltimore and Petersburgh we not long since announced, embarked on Sunday tr g last, under the command of 11djur Bunt, in the brig Blameloy, ebb, and Pc huone r 1111 j or Croglans, Wooten (hired trantisorti.), for Amelia Islam% but did not get to sea, we understand, till yei.teiday. taken by other inlialtitmds of the kiugdont. The ' tribunals its question will therefore be enjoined to put an end to this custom, and the Warliteswill be: considered in this respect as persons of another religions persuasion, nevertheless with this distinc tion, that they shall take the oath with their heads covered, because their religions institutions forbid them to perform any solemn and sacred act with bare heads. Prince Ernest Philipstlial, Major-General in the Russian service, arrived here yesterday from Weis mar, going to London. - - - HAGUE, NOVEMBER 17. To-morrow we shall celebrate here the double festival of the fifth anni►ersary of our deliverance from the French yoke, and the birth-day of our be loved Queen, whose humanity and generosity are so well koutio.—(bNich Papers, Nor. 18.) (Front the Irushingtene Ga.lette.) Cont. Perry and Captain Heath, it is re ported, have made an artangement to settle their differences by duel ; the meeting to take place 00111 c% here to the eastward. A skiival ..Ilietr of high rank, now absent fruit, this city, is named as akeoi.d to the former. Captain Heads, who gene rally resides lien-, left the city a few days ago ; and Coin. l'erry, who fatly arlived how Baltimore, leturtted it, the Malt dirt 4. lluis the nazi Their motements, and LOAM Uloct circutudauces of a corroborating nature, seem to.atrengthen the eon. jecture. We are just told that the parties are to meet this morning near the Delawar line, and that number of respectable officers of rank, who were made acrptsinted with the business, have repaired to the ground. From her MAJESTY'S frugal habits, and the largeness of her income, the public expected that she would die possessed of property to a great amount. The speculation has entirely failed. Her MAJESTY has made • will, in which it appears that she was not possessed of 3,000/. in money at the time of her demise, and that she had none in the funds. Her diamonds she has bequeathed to her Daughters, with a larger share of tl►em between the two unmarried Princesses, SoPHIA and Annum. A mong the Ladies of her Household the Countess of H ARCQURT is remembered as one of the oldest of its members, and of her MAJESTY'S most intimate friends. None of the particulars of the funeral have transpired. It is left by the Council entirely under the unlimited direction ■nd management of the LORD CtiasixEstatte. The following is the Court Circular : Mr. MASH. or the Lord Chamberlain's Office, and Mr. BANTINQ, one of the royal undertakers, arrived at Kest Palace 14st evening, soon after six o'clock, to make arrangements respecting the late QUEEN'S funeral. No time is yet mentioned. from any anthority, when the funeral of her late Msreirrir is to take place; in fact, we ate assured that no time was tired laot evening. Sir FRANCIS MILMAN remains st Kew Palace. Yesterday the following notice was issued from the Lord Chamberlain's Office to Messrs. Fasscs sn4 DARTING, the royal undertakers, respecting thelsou-ezhibitiou of the late Queelia coffin : "Lord Chamber:Ws Office, Norenber 20, MC " Messrs. France and Ranting are hereby most perempto rily ordered sot to mile a public exhibition of the coffin of her late Majesty, nor allow it to be seen by say person whatever. " T. B. MASH," We understand that the demise of the QUEEN wilt be attended with certain changes in the Ca.. binet, which have been for come time coutem plated, but were hitherto not carried into execution from a deference to her MAJESTY'S sentiments.— The Earl of LIVERPOOL and the LORD CHAN CELLOR had expressed • wish to retire from an ac tive share in public life ; but it was understood to be her MAJESTY'S pleasure that they should continue to retain their high offices. The ab sence of these Noble Lords from the Cabinet will at least, in one important point, produce en effect upon the political state of the country : we allude to the question relating to the laws affecting the Roman Catholics, in which they took a most decided and active part against their suffering countrymen. We believe that in this, as indeed in every other matter, they acted from the purest and most conscientious motives ; but the mars of a good mind are not a whit less injurious to the public weal than the mischievous • emanations of a depraved understanding. The Ca binet is known to be at present divided in opinion upon the Catholic Question, and yet now that ex ternal dangers have ceased to threaten, there is no point upon which the Administration of the coun try• ought to be more tplited and more deter mined. Should Lord GRENVILLE succeed the Earl of LtvestrooL, as is generally expected, and no less generally desired, the majority will then be in favour of removing the remaining disabilities under which the Roman Catholics labour ; and the result will, we trust, be such as the present age will receive with gratitude, mid future times con template with satisfaction. To remove the source of animosities, and ullay the bitterness of party feeling, are the great objects of those who, with us, think that religious principles ought no longer to be considered a disqualification for civil offices ; and if those objects be such as ■re uni versally recognised as the proper bases of society, we are con►inced they can be attained by no other means than erasing every humiliating distinction between every class of the people. Tire late QUEEN is reputed to have sanctioned, by her approval, the sentiments entertained on this subject by the Earl of LIVERPOOL and Lord Ei.uoti ; but it would be as presumptuous as vain to inquire how far her hisausTv's demise might be calculated to influ ence the fate of the Roman Catholics. Our letter from Dover, dated 19th November, (Thursda)) says, " 'fweisty-three vessels arrived iii the counsr of last night from Calais, and have landed about 500 nieu and 400 horses, chiefly of the 7th sod I ith regiment► of Light Dragoona.— The nisijor halt of the vessels have sailed again this afteriwou for Calais." It is stated in u Paris Paper, that the Emperor ALEXANDER has been beset with an immense crowd of petitions, coming from even• country in Europe. This number is estimated at 8,000. All these peti tions are examined either by Prlllee or MM. CAPO-DISTRIA. or Da NESSELIWEE„ and reports nisde to the. EMPEROR. The Count Da I:Azimut has been nominated Covet nor of Cadiz and Andalusia. Besides which, he is said to retain the command of what has so long been termed the expeditious against South America.

The circumstance's of the lamented death of Mr. A !derma': GOODBEIIERE were not correctly slated. It was in the moriiing, just after breakfa►t. that he fell down.

Dr. BARIUM!) St rived at the house in the evening, and immediately returned to Brighton, to announce the atll,eting event to the disconsolate family.
