The French papers of Fads) , contain accounts which shot, that the doubts about the capture of BAZAN, which have been repeated in some English journals, are entirely without foundation. Attempts continue to be made by the Council of State to procure the dismi.sion and banishment of such persons as are not likely to favour their views ; hut the Influence of RECACHO bas hitherto prevented the ac complishment of their object. The INFANTS have pro posed a change of Mini...try to their brother, but without effect. A treaty of commerce, similar to that which has been rejected by the English Government, is said to have been entered into between France and Brazil, but it will not be ratified till the English treaty be finally settled. The Government seems to be well acquainted with the designs of the Constitutionalists, and has formed a corps of obser vation, under the command cf MON ET Ls, along the coast, from Valenti ato the Straits of Gibraltar. The Apostolical party hassucceeded in gaining over not only the Royalist velunteers, but several regiments of the line, and even some of the King's Guard. A party of the latter, at Alcala, in sulted a preacher in the pulpit f.?.r recommending toleration. The project which the party had formed, of augmenting the number of Royalist volunteers, was submitted to the Council of State, but was opposed by the Minister of War, ZANDMAN% and most of the other Ministers, except Dal. I STAN TAN), who tendered his re,ignation in consequence. This was not accepted, but it is believed that he will not be able in his present circumstances to hold his situation much longer. The Apostolieal party, however, are not without hopes of counteracting the measures of Za u ens No and his adherents by means of the Marquis of CARYAJAL., who has been appointed Inspector of the Royalist volun teers at Madrid. A deputy has been sent from the Ha vannah, to recommend, as supposed, an accommodation between Spain and her revolted Colonies. . A comparative statement of the price of corn in different countries of Europe, has been publh:hcd in the French pa pers; from which we deduce the following results : via. —that England is the dearest country in Europe, and Spain the next—that in Pomerania and at Ham burgh corn is one third of the price that it is in England—that Ss. in France are equal to 9s. in England. In Italy and Sicily corn is cheaper by one half than it is in England. • It appears by the accounts from Greece that I artanim PAcIIA has abandoned, for a time, his predatory excursions. Ile follows in this, it is said, the advice of the Austrians who have convinced him cf the imprudence of such expe ditions, and of the necessity of protracting the war, cutting off the Greeks in detail, and ruining their cause from the want of money and provisions. tVith this view be has despatched REDSCHID PACII A to prevent Coultas and FAUVIER on the side of Attica, from disturbing the siege of Missolonghi.

We think our brethren on the north of the Tweed can not but feel highly satisfied with the alacrity with which the CitaNcatt on of the Excitienta came forward to move for the appointment of a Select Commirteo,ro inquire into the state of the circulation of their notes under the value of bi., and to report on the expediency of an altera tion in the law as it at present exists. The result of the investigation which this momentous subject will there un dergo, will be to prove, either that the extinction of small notes in that part of the United Kingdom will tend ma-' terially to diminish its prosperity, by withdrawing a circu lating medium essential to the well-being of its trade and commerce ; or, on the other hand, that its paper currency, by creating an illusive and fictitious wealth, places its prosperity on an unsure and precarious fountiation, and which can only be rendered solid and permanent by a me. tallic currency. We think it likely that the evidence ad duced before the Committee will serve to 'hew, that the evils and disadvantages of a paper currency arc such as to make it matter of extreme difficulty toil Tide, with regard to Scotland, on which side the scale preponderates. Mischievous as the consequences of an excessive issue of country-bank paper have been in England, they may be found, on in quiry, to have arisen from causes which either do not exist at all in Scotland, or that do not exist in the same degree, or with the same influence. These causes must first be developed before it can be decided how farthey are local, or to what extent they operate on both pirts of the kingdom equally--Biocto infra 'twos, el extra--for without this it will be impossible to say whether the reasons which govern in the one case, apply with equal force to the other. Ar guing d priuri, and without reference to any facts which THE BRITISH PRESS. may be disclosed before the Committee, we should incline strongly, with the CH•NCELLOA of the &CHl:atilt(' in placing both parts of the United Kingdom on the same footing; but in legislating on a subject in which any error iu policy may lead to very serious evil, the public cannot but applaud the justice as well as the wisdom of Govern ment in avoiding all precipitation, and of subjecting the policy of extending the alteration of the currency to Scot land to a deliberate and unbiassed examination. It is no doubt true that the exchanges, twice a-week, by all the Banks throughout Scotland, and the constant prac tice of paying the difference either in gold or bills on Lon don, operates as a mutual check upon any irregular tran sactions, and greatly tends to prevent any excessive issue of their notes. But this practice is not confined to Scotland; it is followed by all the branches of every Provincial Bask of repute and stability throughout England; and, of course —as tar ILI the argument applies—with the same beneficial effects. 'f be cash-accounts in Scotland form a peculiar feature of much greeter importune*, and will deserve great weight in governing any conclusions which the Committee may arrive at, on combining the whole result of the evidence that may be placed before them. ADAM SMITH has explained the nature of these accounts very concisely in the following extract, which is important to be understood, as it makes a part of the Scotch system of Banking, the utility of which well deserves to be studied on this side of Edinburgh, and which will be found, we think, upon inquiry, to be that part of the system, from the disturbance of which the chief danger is to be apprehended. " The commoner of Seotlandlwae inconsiderable when the two first banking companies were established; and those companies would have had but little trade, had they confined their business to the discounting of bills of exchange. They invented, therefore, another method of Issuing their ptoreinsory notes, by granting what they called rash accounts, that la, by giving credit to the extent of a certain sum (two or three thousand pounds for example) to an individual who could procure two persona of undoubted credit and good landed estate to become surety for him, that whatever money should be advanced to him, within the anm for which the credit had been given, should be repaid upon demand, together with the legal interest. Credits of this kind are, I believe. Com mon/3, granted by banks and bankers in all different puts of the world. But the easy terms upon which the Scotch banking com panies accept of repayment are, so far all I know, peculiar to them, and have perhipa been the principal cause both of the great trade of those companies, and of the benefit which the country has re ceived from it. " Whoever has a credit of this kind with one of those corn patties, and barrows a thousand pounds upon it, for example, may rem this mat piece -meal, by twenty and thirty pounds at a time, the company deducting a proportionable part of the interest of the great sum from the day on which each of those small sums Is paid in, till the whole be in this manner repaid. All merchants, there fore, and almost all men of business, find it convenient to keep such cash accounts with thorn, and are thereby interested to pro mote the trade of those companies, by readily receiving their notes in all payments, and by encouraging all theme with whom they have any influence to do 'he same. The banks, when their customerf apply to them for money, generally advance it to them in their own promissory Dotes. Thole the merchants pay away to the manufac turers for goods, the ntaaufactureta to the farmers for materials and provisions, the farmers to their landlords for rent, the landlords repay them to the merchants for the couventenries and luxuries with which they supply them, and the merchants again return them to the banks in order to balance their cash anmonts, or to replace what they may have borrowed of them ; and thus almost the whole money business of the country is transacted by means of them. Hence the great trade of those companies. " 13y means of those cash accounts every merchant can, without imprudence, carry co a greater trade than he otherwise could do. If there are two inerchnots,ene in London sod &bandage in Win burgh, who erupt sy equal stocks in the same branch of trade, the Edinburgh merchant can; without imprudence, carry on a greater trade, and give easoloyment to a greeter number of people than the London mercits ot. The Loudon merchant must always keep by him a consider•nle sum of money, either lo his own coffers or in those of his banker, who gives him no Interest for it, in order to amen the demands continually coming upon him for payment of the goods which he purchases upon eredit. Let the ordinary amount of this sun: be supposed five hundred pounds. The value in bin warehouse trust always be less by five hundred pounds than it would have bees, had hr not been obliged to keep such a sum unemployed. lid us suppose that be _generally disposes of his whole stock up&t hand, or of goods to the voice of ki s whole stock uporliand, once in the year. By being obliged to keep so great a , tum unemployed, he mast sell in • year Ire hundred poundOorth less goods than he might otherwise have done. His annial profits most be less by all that he could have made by the sale of five tuntired pounds worth more goods; and the Dumber of p , nole einpktel in,preparing his goods for market must be less by till those that five hundred potinde ore stock could have employed. The merchant In Edinburgh, OD the other hand, keeps no money unemployed for answering oath occasional de mands. Whets they actually, Wks, triton him, he satisfies them from his cash a ;fount witil the Batik, and g ra dually replaces the sum borrowed , iith the An" or paper which comes in from the occasional sideo of his goods. With the same stock, therefore, he can without imprudence have at all times in his warehouse a larger quantity of goods than dot London merchant ; and can thereby both make a gre %ter profit himself, and give constant employment to a greater num bee of industrious people, who prepare those goods fee the market. Bence the great benefit which the country has derived from this trade. " The facility of discounting bills of exchange, it may be thought, indeed, gives the English merchants a conveuiency equi valent to the cc sh accounts of the Scotch merchants. But the Scotch merchants. it must be remembered, can discount their bills of exchange as ersily as the English merchants ; and have, besides, the additional conveniency of their cash accounts." The advantk,e accruing to trade from the accommoda tion thus Worded, has, no doubt, proved very considerable. Any change in the currency which should have the effect of either putting a stop to, or greatly curtailing, those ad vances, might possibly produce more evil than would be counterbalanced by a diminution of the paper currency. The mighty interests which are involved in the inquiry into which the Committee of 'WA Houses are about to enter, will netestarily induce them to go fully into the subject of the Cash Accounts, from the conviction that it is to thi~ point, beyond all others, that their deliberations will require to be directed. It is a part of the system of banking in Scotland, so intimately interwoven with all the mercantile and monied con cerns of its whsle trading population, that it must neeessa riiy press itself upon them as a matter of separate consideration. It is a system of accommodation which hcs, no doubt, contributed to rear her commerce to its present high condition, and to diffuse that spirit of enterprise which has made her what she is. We are aware of the great difficulties which surround the sub ject ; but Ministers have shown, that notwithstanding the decided conclusions to which their own inquiries have brought them, they are desirous that it should undergo all the detailed and comprehensive investigation of a Parlia mentary Committee, having, themselves, no other anxiety than to proceed in that course from which the greatest good may be expected. They have no wish to apply cor rectives where correctives are not wanted. In what they are to provide for, and in what they arc to provide against, they would fain consult • the wants and the welfare of the ration at large, and nothing is farther froin them than to sacrifice the interests of one part to the security of the other. The English publia are persuaded of this, and Mot neat Mataciaowatora has lowered his reputation, al;d hurt the Millie of 1:5 conutrymcn, by thorebelliounlis play of his bravery in -defence of " things as they are:" His mind—fertile and forcible as its powers arc—has not been trained in a school which fits it for this sort of war fare. He is a poet of the very first order, but as a poli tical economist he is wofully low in the scale. How can it be otherwise? How can aily one, whose imagination has been wandering from his cradle amid tilts and tournaments, be expected to enlighten us on the un-ideal topic of high and low prices? What light can the realms of enchant ment and chivalry throw into the bustling regions of bul lion and small notes? The impetuous Knight, moreover, disdains all moderation—his epistles are written with the pin, not of a poet, but of a clansman. Instead of the voice of reason, we hear nothing but the whistling of the war pipe and the sound of the pibroch. His arguments make their approach like the " hennaed Pine" of ROLF:RIC " Nearer and nearer as they bear, Spears, pikes, and axes Hash in air." That the abolition of one and two-pound notes is a mea sure which may deeply affect the interests of Scotland, there is no doubt; but it is on this account that it behoves us to come to the discussion of it dispassionately. On no subject can violence and intemperance be more out of place. It preents many topics •on which there is much informa tion yet to be gathered, and which we shall not fail to ad vert to, but to do so at present would extend this article beyond all reasonable bounds. CITY, 9ATURTAT EvEmir°. Business was a good deal sought after, and speculatioh was rather on the alert at the Money Market to-day, which is likely to remain in a feverish state until the details of the financial arrangement of Government shall have been submitted to the public. The variation in the pride; to day has seareely amounted to per cent. lu the morn ing the prevalence of buyers led to an advance in Console for Account to 78.1, but they receded in the course of the afternoon to 77k. The price of Consols for 3loney:and Ac count are precisely similar, as money is by no means scarce in the Stock Market, although in the City, gene rally, it is still in great demand. Much doubt still exists as to the Stock to be created, to be. substituted for Exche quer Bills. From the condition of the New 4 per Cents. within the last two days, which have been sold at 96, it is not likely that, if the amount of that Stock should be augmented, it wilt undergo any material depredation. A variety of opinions are entertained as to the state of the Account which terminates on the 12th of next month ; but the sudden re-action in Consols, particularly on Thurs day, has led to the supposition thst the Jobbers have not yet purchased the Stock which they borrowed, to . a large amount, on the last settling day ; from one individual alone, we believe, to the amount of half a million sterling. The transactions in Exchequer Bills today have been devoid of interest. The premium is steady at from 45. to 65., and India Bonds at from 2s. to 3s. premium. There has been much more doing in the Foreign Stock Market to-day than during any other part of the week; and in some of the South American Securities a very rapid improvement has taken place, in which a great degree of confidence has been placed, in consequence of the dividends on the Chili Bonds having been advertised. This Stock opened in the morning at 49, but this afternoon has been done at 61, being an improvement of .5 per cent. since Monday. The rise iu Colombian and Mexican has been equally extensive: the former have risen from 83 to 67i, and have shown much elasticity at this advance, without, however, any large purchases on the part of the public. Peruvian Bonds have fluctuated between 31 and 33, but fell 1 per cent. before the close of business. But while the Republican Securities are undergoing this advance, Brazil Bonds have remained steady at their former quota tions. There has likewise been a bribk demand for the Northern Securities, which have Improved about 1 per cent., as a matter of course, bearing much higher quotations; the Northern Bonds are less susceptible of any material change than those of the Republican Covernments. Russian Bonds have been sold as high as while the Danish 3 per cents. have risen in nearly the same proportion. Aus trian continue to be much neglected. Shares are still unsaleable. We had expected to have had to communicate the defi nitive arrangements fcr negotiating between Liverpool and the Bank of England, in regard of such advantages as Liver pool may be disposed to take of the O'er of the Bank to advance money upon goods. These arrangements have not, however, yet been completed. The distress for money, in some parts of the country, is without parallel. A house carrying on an extensive busi ness as drysalters, sent an agent into the northern counties, authorised to collect debts to the amount of 90,000/. After an absence of six weeks, he returned from his tour with no more than MO/. ! We hare particular pleasure in remarking the symp toms, although yet but feeble ones, of returning activity in the trade of this manufacturing district. Goods hare been a little more in demand, but at very low prices, and some business has been done during the past week, at Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield. The wool market of Wake field has experienced some little change for the better, both ia prices and the quantity of business done.—lfrokefield Jorrnal. On Thursday last the Magistrates and Council of May bole transmitted petitions to both llouses of Parliament against any alteration in the paper currency of Scotland.— Glasgow Courier. The Editor of the Leeds Mercury having been solicited to examine the affairs of the Batik of Leeds, has stated that it is next to a moral impossibility that the creditors should ultimately fail to obtain 20s. in the pound upon their claims, of whatever nature. It seems the amount of the surplus assets of the Bank over the debts due from the firm, exceeds 10,0001., and their small notes now in circu lation, both from the Leeds and Ripon Banks, do not ex ceed 6,000/. HEREFOUD OLD Basta.—ln consequence of Messrs. Bodenhatn and Co. suspending payment on Tuesday last, a severe run took place on the firm of Messrs. Holloway, Cooke, and talc's. of the Old Bink, in Hereford ; and the panic, for which there was not the slightest cause as respected their establishment, appearing to increase, the respectable members of that hank determined to close their firm, adopt prompt measures to pay offall demands against them, and relinquish a profession which for years had been conducted on principles of discriminating prudence and high integrity, honourable to themselves and bene ficial to the public. By this determination the city of Hereford is now without a hank, and the consequent in convenience can better be imagined than described. On Wednesday Messrs. Holloway and Co. published a state ment, signed by Sir J. (7otterell, M.l'., B. Eitldulph, Esq. and It. J. Powell, Esq. who tad carefully and rigidly investigated the situation of their affairs, front which it appears that, after deducting all bet and even doubtful debts, there is a balance of 66,18.:t/. Us. 7d. remaining in favour of the partners (without taking into account the property of the late head of the firm, the lamented Colonel Matthews) after every demand, either as to the bank or their private concerns, shall have been settled. Their bills are taken in Hereford as usual; and it is asubject of the deepest regret to the respectable inhabitants, that the groundless and selfish panic which influenced the centruct of those, who, within a short period, on three late occa sions, assailed this bank, at last induced men of such long-tried and acknowledged rectitude •ia public and pri vate life, to close an establishment, the value of which will only be duly appreciated now the public are deprived of it. The average importations of tea by the East India Com par•.y, for five years prior to 1821, amounted to 26,416,219 lbs.; the prime cost to 1,717,216/. The tea consumed in Europe and America is estimated at 32,000,e00 of pounds.

For eight days past the weather has been dry, and highly favourable for forwarding the country labour. During the week the sowing has been going briskly on in every direc tion round this city.

Curioni in the Coast was more at home than on the formet representation'', and his opening serenat a " E cco ridente Cielo," w as very tam _ fully executed. Pellegrini's vivacity never flagged during the piece: his opening bollero, " Laren," was very hoppi and the whole of the scene with the Count ; in which tie military disguise is projected, was well done ; the d uet "Ah the d'amore Ala fiansina iosento" was encored• i n the scene with Rosina also, where she sends the note, h e was very successful, and in " Zitti Zitti," indeed, co»sider ing the very limited powers of his voice, he threw m ore e 4 feet into the harmonise , : parts than we imagined him to h e , capable of from his former efforts.

The choruses were ably exeeuteil, particularly the finale to the first act. We should like to have the music lesson as a duet; at present it has given lilac.: to a simpl e sir by Rorke, which, though beautiful of its kind, dim not add to the comic effect of the scene, which is so dent. able. Upon the whole, however, the (Teta was ably per. formed, and has come in as a very pleasant relief to the "I dead weight" of serious opera. By the way, a negotiation has been seine time on the tapir between Mr. Ebers and Madame Pasta; her stipulations, however, are such, as to stagger that n. demon s Chancellor of the Exchequer, for she requires MO/. down, another 10901 . at the conclusion of th e sea . son, a free benefit, and the selection of six operas to be performed during her engagement. We fear rheas de mands do not very well agree with the Opera revenue; but we shall be happy to learn that Mr. Ebers liss bten able to effect the arrangement, from the variety it is likely to produce in the piece's reprcistitfilak the villa cf which is one of the sulking defects of esent state of the engagements of the Italian s opera. wants also to produce mother serious opera, clout which Mr. Ebers has some qualms; the pablte, bowers', will not object, we apprehend, so long as they hwe a sprinkling of the opera Buffs, to any novelty, come (rem whom it may, particularly as Tebaldo e maintains its ground only from the effect of two seems, the Our parts being very nsedicore. We do hope that. Mozart is not banished from those boards, where we have listened to his magic powers with so much delight. In the absence of novelty among modern composers, let the public lists an occasional hearing of Motart„, to compensate them Ter the endurance with which they, receive the feeble efLris of leas exalted genius. By the French Papers we perceive that Ambrogetti, the very finest actor that ever adorned this theatre—for who can forget his performances i Don Giovanni, and Agneae,—has become a monk cf the order of La Trappe, certainly the most proper of the religious orders for the retirement of one who has spent so much of his life upon the stage. The house was crowded in every part. WINDSOR, SUNDAY, MARCH 19. On Wednesday and Thursday, in consequence of the severe indirpositicn of the King, a number of expressri were sent off in various directions, one of thrill to S:r Matthew 'Tierney, and another to the Duke of York. This mcrning the Rev. Dr. Sumner performed dirios service at tee Royal Lodge.

The Portuguese Ambassador, the Bavarian Minister, and a number of gentlemen of dfstinetion, were Waiting It the King's Palace in Pa yesterday, with much anxiety, in conacquence of the groundless reports which had been circulated. The bulletin of Saturday was signed by Sir Henry Milford only, the two other doctors htirg in London at the time of issuing it; but it will be seen be the bulletin of yesterday that they resumed their stiendan7e on his Majesty yesterday morning. Sir 111nAthew Tier:tl was sent for on Wednesday from Brighton. On F,(ily Sir Matthew came to London, and reported to Mr. Si C'E tary Canning anti several of the Cabinet Minim IN the s!ge of the King's health.
