How much we have endeavonred to render the efforts xviiieh• we liaye been hitherto necessitated to make by the great state of things, compatible with the great interests and the prosperity of our subjects, they themselves will gratefully acknow. , ledge 'That the object of our exertions--the aim of all the great and extraordinary sacrifices de yrianded, of •our'provitices during the. last year---has been the establisment, if possible, of a tranquility built on lasting foundations, not only our own •Empire, but all l<. urope, Must be thdroughly con vinced. - : • And awe nowelicrish the hope, in the impend ing.crisis of the fate of Europe,. to render avail able .that - weight wli:•:11 is secured Us' by the state. of our monarchy, and our relations with other Powers, generally, towards the common ad vantage, from Which our own is inseparable ;. so it 'becomes the more necessary, to place our selves, by the increase of our military force,' in a tomtit iem perfectly adequate to so important ,a Lig!. termination. • The greater have been 'the proofs which our people have exhibited to us of their affection and faithful co-operation in the important and difficult periods of oar reign, the more are we justified in reckoning on their ready willingness to , make, every effort, in this the most important crisis of all, whiCh• is to decide upon the establishment of a state of repose with all its blessed consequenees, so necessary twall, and which is dip object of so many'ardent wishes. It has, however,' been the object.of our pater nal solicitude, to obtain the,meana of supplying our consequent extraordinary necessities by ai measure, which, without requiring of our subjects such Immoderate sacrifices as 'might disturb the prosperity of our financial system, or the most important pursuits of industry, - will better idlest the confidence which we place, in our • people ; As we still persevere in the resolutions irbich were made known' in the Ordinance of the. 200) of February, 1811, never, anti on no account, ) increase the number of 'Redemption-bills, so' we have found it necessary to establish a conti.der able and immediately-applicable ]find, by way of anticipation, on a portion. of the best-secured re rilllC3 of the State. We have, therefore, re s o ved , and do ordain, as follows ' I. 'towards the credit of this anticipation-fund, we devote the annual sum of 3,750,000 florins, whicb, for twelve years eibuing, commencing with the year lel4, shall be yearly set apart for that ptirposemtiv tit' the receipt of 'the land-re venue in our German, Bohemian, anti Gallician provinces. 2. As the united Redemption and Extinction c om mittee, by their accurate performance of the ditties entrusted to thent, have merited our grati. toile and the general confidence, we nisi) place in their hands the exclusive nrattagement of the funds so , issuing as aforesaid. 3 . , F o r this purpose, the foresaid .ttin of 3,750,000 florins, arising out of the receipt of the thud tax, shall be yearly 1;Ahl over to the defflption and Extinction niittce, by which: mean.; they will receive, within the before fixed period of 12 years, the sum , rd 45 millions of florins.. 4. But that the whole of this fund may he 11pk. - plicable as occasion may require,.to the defraying of the eitraordinary'expenditure, we autt orise . the said Redemption Cominince to prepare anti cipation-bills, to the amount of 43 millions of florins, and to place them at the disposal of our exchequer, 5. 'The form of these anticipation-bilbt,acegrd ing to their various sub(l►visions, Avill be made known, by another ordinance. ' . . 6. The Bedemptitin.Committee sbnllbe respon- r sible for extinguis in,: yearly, from the year 1614, a sum Of 3,730,000 florins. in anticipation-bilis, and they shall regularly make known the accurate fulfilment of this obligation. , 7. As the anticipatiou-bills which in this way will come into circulation, are covered by an, am ple fund o . f the sedurest , nature, by means of which they will be completely extinguished within the period of twelve years,--1-we therefore FlCleby . orsier them to be received at their full:value in all payments to the excheque6 as well as in private transaciious, and in all other 'ways in which they . may be employed. Givervat Vienna, this 13th o April, 1813: FRANCIS. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. A Court was yesterday hell for the,purpbse of receiving the Answer of her Royal Highness the Princess of WALEs to the Address of the last Court. - „ - - - The Loan sMisvoa 'opened ,the business, and directei the Recorder to. read the Answer: 'of the-Princess, which was done,and, on the motion of Mr. GRIPVITHS, ordered 'to' be entered on the Journals of the Court, The LORD. MAYOR then caused a Letter of Thanks from the Russian Captain Bock to he read. In this Captain Bock expressed- his giatiftide•for the flattering attention he had met with since he • came to this country. Mr. Wart.timAN understood, that neither" the. Address' of the Court' to the Piincess. of ‘Vales, nor the Answer of her Royal [Ugliness, had been inserted in the Gazette. He wished to be inform-' ed of the cause of their non-appearance. The REMEMBRANCER then teat a letter which he had sent with the Address to Lord Sithnouth, together with the answer of the Noble Lord, stating, that— in the exercise of that discretion which belonged to ,his office, he did nut think pioper to order the insertion of it in the Gazette. Mr. WAITHMAN felt that to pass 'over this con duct on the part of Lord Sid.oouth, Would be to abandon their ancient privilees, and to acquiesce in an indignity offered to .the City, the Piirices, • and the Prince. He was - not one of those who thought the Address to the Princess of Wales meant to cast any reflection on the Prince Re : gent. He had not thought it could be unplea sant to hirer, conceiviug that it was inip:)ssibie for his Royal Highness not to particiliate in the general exultation at the declaration of the hum- c c o ..c of Hoial Consort; and he felt much dis posed to propose an AddreSs of Congratulation to him on 'the occasion. What could be the cause of the non-insertion of their Addresses ? Their Address - es on the Mariiage of her Royat tiers, and on the Birth of the Princess Charlotte, had been inserted in the Gazette. To refuse to admit their present Addresses was to encourage an ided that suspicion still attached to his Royal Highness. Since her innocence hail been com pletely 'established,•it was proper that it should be recorded in an official * instrument. After her Royal Highness had been declared innocent by his Majesty's Ministers, why should?one of them offer an insult like that of which he complained, to public feeling ? Under such 'circumstances he thought it the duty of the Court to mark its `Sense of such conduct, he tber2fore moved— ' • " That Lord Viscoont Sidmorith, by his un- • precedented conduct in departing froni immetno-: . rial• usage, by refusing to Insert in the London Gazette the dutiful and loyal Address of this ..Court - , to her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, with her most gracious Answer thereto, so that our regard and veneration for the Virtues of her Royal HiglNess might he preserved in dal security, and ..reinain capable of being at tiny time resorted to, -as the recorded WO of the City of London, has evinced a marked contempt • for the feelings and opinions of this City, and the. Country at large, and that by so suspicious au ex ercise of his discretion, has seemed to insinuate a belief, that the triumph of .the Princess of Wales, overa conspiracy so. foul and detestable, could have been displeasing to the Prince Regent, and has thereby offered a grosi indignity to the Princess of Wales, and cast a most invidious and odious iMpotation on the honour and charac ter of hiS Royal Master ; that this Court is there fore most peculiarly called upon to:present a loyal • and dutiful Address to his,ftoyal Highness the him Regent, congratulating. M on the esta b4shed.innocence of his 'Royal Consort, and es- pressing the feelings of- this Court at the miscon duct of his Minister ; at the same time expression onritnxions desire, that her Royal Highness may be allowed-,an establishment suit a bl e t o het highs Tank and station in this country." FAVELL Seconded the Resolution, and' de clared no indignity like tbe present had been of fered to that Court since the Revolutityit. Sir W. CURTIS said, no one was more ready than hinisele to resent any contempt shewn to that Court, but he differed from; Ole Gentleman who brought fora ard this motion with, respect to the conduct of Lord Sidmouth. He was satisfied that no one bad a more singere respect for the City of - London than the Lord,• He had,' however, been placed in it new situation ; a com mon copy of the documents in question having been,seut to him, instead of .the Original authen ticated instruments, wlirch had heretofore inva riably been sent. All'addresses, moreover, ought to he examined by the Sovereign, previous to their insertion in the Gazette. if then those who censured Lord Sidmouth, could put them elves iii his situation, would they hove presented these addresses to the Prince ? In the situation in which his Royal Highness stood, would it not be to offer him an indignity to present such an ad dress to him, P.nd collie, it be the wish of that .ont:t to offer him an indignity ?—(Cricsof" (jet not. - ) He hoped the motion would be witbibawth- Mr. S. Drxon contended,. that Lord: Sidmouth had given. as courteous an ansWer via he cindd give to ti-r&piest with which he coul:i not cow- , ply. He thought the worthy Gentleman 1...0 not consulted-his own sense in 11inging fortard. this motion, and •he had not dealt fairly with' the Court in making- it without a notice. He thimght the friendi - of the Princess would do well to. let ntatters re.t as they, now were. He disapp oved of-the motion, and particularly. of the 11:4.1Lerthae introdured, which could not now regularly be brOught_before the Court. . Mr. DORNFORD , WaS of opinion,. that the best course they cbuld`pursue, it they were di , pleased with the corpiuct (yr Lord Sidnionth, would be to present a reinonstrance to him, .as they had done. to Mr. Ryder on a ;Millar- occasjon. _ . Mr. Q&IN thought they ought to .express their feelhigs „n the present OCCASiOn, if it ,were only to satisfy the. Secretary of State for the Home D-.l.paitulent, that the City of London had frelings to express: lie could,not go so fir as to support that part of the Resolution, relative to the esta blishment of her Royal Hight - gm, as that 'was not regularly before the Court. The rest of the tnt , - tion had his cordial approbation. Mr. WAITIIMAN moiled. • • Mr. JACKS opposed the motion, No Address to the Royal Family had ever been. ‘o ed without notice. T. vote tlie Address proposed, would be to pass an unqualified insult on the Prince Regent. Mr. ALAIN moved that the consideration of this question•should he adjourned to another day. The REcoomt said, this motion could not re guls.rly be put in the present case.. Mr. ALDIN then muvefi, " That the Court do now adjourn." This motion being seconded, a division took place, when the numbers were equal, there being 50 for and 50 against it.. The, Lord Mayor gave the-Casting vote in favour of the motion at ad journment, and tile Court accordingly adjourned. BUITISU INSTITUTION.--It has been justly oh served bra jo dicions and intelligent.. Critic, in a Morning Paper of this day, that " yesterday was en epoch in the. history of English Art." The suite of Rooms belonging to this Institution were opened yesterday, for the purpose of affording a private view of a large collection Of the works of Sir JOSHUA , REYNOLOS ; and. never was there a more gratifying pt oof of British Genius. The whole was therefote calculated to gitie delight to the patriot- as well,•as to the man of rave and feebrig, with •respect to the pro.locrio a of . first'', rate talen'ts, enriched by all the advan age of cul ture, end long experience: , ---The varied , pow: r; of Sir JORHUK ItEYNOLns are' abundantly shewn iu this' rich assemblage, and, it ii -evident that if he had devoted himself to, the poifical, the pieta restyle, or the hi s torical' departments of hit art, and also to'Landscape, he would have attained the height of excellence, as-much as he had gained it the province of Portrait. Amidht all the plea sure which 'this triumph of native Genius must afford, is only to be regretted' that the Pictures cannot always, be kept together, iu order to form a school for the Artists of this Country; for we have no hesitation in'saying that the most distin guished of living Professors' may derive instrttc• • . tion front it; and we hope they t ill attend as often as possible, to impregnate' their'thinds with the unrivalled beatifies of collection. The, highe4 respect is due to those Noblemen and Geutlemen who suggested the plan for assembling such an ad mit7ible colleetiOn, for their Teal in- accomplishinit it, and for-their liberality in sending the . work s' belonging to themselves, to augment the general treasure. 'Among those who were preseat yester tiny were the :Marquis of STAFFORD; the,Marchio nesi THOMOND, the Earls GattY, ABERDEEN ; and ASHELIRNHAM, Sir ABRAHAM HYJME ; Sir GEORGE BemumotiT, the Right Hon. CHARLES LONG, Mr. R. P. KNIGHT ; ants other Well-known Aontetrs. We shall not particularize the Works that enrich this colleCtion, because. we will not forestall cu riosity, but we can confidently. promise the highest `'gratitication. to the public at large, when it'shall be opened for their inSpeetion: LITERARY Ft/NO.—The Annual Dinner of this Meritorious Institntion took place yesterday at Free"Masons' Tavern.—The Duke of SOMERSET was in the chair. The usual loyal and constitu tional toasts were given, and the company re ceived them' with cordtal warmth.
