FROM THE FRONTIERS OF MOLDAVIA, JANUARY 9. We have learned from travellers the following particulars of the tnoveetents in the Russia') southern army beyond the Pruth Four Ru•s'nn corps ore said to have already passed the Dnierter, two of which are under the command of the General in Chief Count Wittgen stein, one under General Sackeii, and the fourib under General Yermaloff. The head-quarters of Count Wittgenstein were to have been removed from Toleant to kitchanuff, but the continued rain and snow ready impeded the movements of these troops, which were ani mated with the hightst enthusiasm and military ardour. The rain falls in torrents, and the ro.td• are all impassable, so that the heavy artillery can not move a step. There is no instance of such a winter in these parts. Fresh hoops continue to arrive from the interior of Russia, and the Imperial guards are said to have been on the march since the 20th December to Bessarabia, under the eomcnand of Gen. Uwaroff. A second considerable army is forming on the Dniester, as a reserve, and will tOrm at the same time a sanitary cordon. It is computed that in case the Russians should advance beyond the Pruth, every body will be allowed to go forwards. but nobodyto return without submitting to the usual quarantine, in order to hinder the propagation of the plague, which is generally an attendant of the Turkish army. All the women and children, even the wives of the Governors of Chatzian and Benders bane retired, in consequence of this news, beyond the Dniester. Many persons are of opinion that all these measures authorise them to infer that impor tant events are ut hand. According to all accounts from Moldavia the Turks are sending all the heavy artillery and every thing of value over the Danube. They seew to have no considerable corps except near Jassy, and even this will in all probability speedily retreat in case the Russians advance, as it will be absolutely impossible for the Turks to maintain themselves in the principalities. In anticipation of the entrance of the Russiatis, Moldavia and Wallachia are now clearing in the Turkish fashion ; the measures already taken fur this purpo.e are dreadful; at the same time it has been notified to the Boyars who have fled. that if they do not retarn to their homes within a certain time, all their property. whether real or personal, will be confiscated for the benefit of the public treasury. None of them, however, have obeyed this summons, because those who re turned would at all events be at least carried off hostages by the Tonics, in case of their retreating. Several Boyars at Jassy were informed against for hiving concealed corn and other things. The Turks immediately set fire to the houses of those who had before fled.—(Allgenteime Zeilung, Jaaa. ..at 26.) xuesiessaa. JANUARY 44.

It is said that new regulations for the observance of holidays are to be introduced here ; that all public amusements, such as theatres, dancing, dm ■re to be prohibited On Sundays and holidays, that all the shops are to be shut in those days, and the public-houses not allowed to sell any liquor before four o'clock. A considerable band of robbers has appeared near Melle, in Osnaborg. Several individuals be longing to it have been arrested. The Magistrates have asked for military aid, especially to secure the prisons against nocturnal surprise. MUNICH, JANUARY 22. A deputation of the Second Chamber, consisting of the two Presidents, the Secretaries, and several Members, had the honour to wait on the King to day, to notify to his Majesty that the Chamber was formed. The deputation was most graciously re ceived, and his Majesty fixed the 27th instant for the opening of the Session. HESSE CASSIEL. All our paper currency is now above par.

The Elector intends to pay off ail the debts con tracted by him before his accession, which will bear five per cent, interest, allowing the holders who may prefer it, to let their principal remain at four per cent.—(Nuremberg CorreapoNdent, Ja nuary 26.) THE BRITISH PRES S. LON DON. THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 7. 1822. The speeches delivered by the Ministers of the Crown in either House of Parliament, on Tuesday evening, during the discussions upon the respective Addressee, contained many points which are well deserving of particular attention. From these it may be collected, that in the promised relief which the Cabinet affects to hold out to the agricultural interests, the repeal of any of the existing nixes is to constitute no part whatever. Time Minicers avow themselves hostile to every measure which contemplates the removal of any part of the heavy burden that now with its disproportionate weight so cruelly dep the industry of the country ; but Lord Livgaroot intimated that the ides of extendieg a temporary relief to the suf fering former-, by an issue of Exchequer hills, has nor been renounced by himself and his colleagues. Our readers will probably recol lect, that sonic time since the hot Session of Par liament we noticed a statement w!:;ch had reached our ears, that the Ministers entertained an intention of accomplishing the redretion of the fee per cents. This statement we now God was substantially con. tact, for the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER in formed the House of Cu 1111 l ions ou Tuesday evening, that lie had been hitherto deterred from embracing this measure solely from an apprehension of ap pearing to countenance in any manner, however re mote, certain rumours which have been afloat, that went materially to affect the public credit of the Government ; but lie now avowed, that, should Par liament refuse to hiterfere with the effective opera tion of the sinking fund, he proposed to submit a measure to its consideration in the present Session for the accomplishment of this object. Upon this matter we shall not now express any decided opinion ; none, indeed, can be satisfactorily formed until the whole details of the contemplated arraogement be laid be fore the public; but we must confess that in the pre sent circumstances of the country, and while ou► Ministers profess to have an operative sinking fund, we cannot discern any national advantage that is likely to be derived from a transfe► of one species of stock into another. The operation must be at , tended by a nominal increase of the capital form ing the national debt, and it is obvious that the in terest to be paid will bear a direct proportion to the quantity of the capital invested, no matter what may be the denomination of stock in which it is placed. No saving therefore can be effected in the amount of interest to be paid by transferring the five per cents. into the four per cents, or three per cents., because the nominal increase of the capital will bring with it a proportional increase of interest. But should the capital ever come to be paid off, the country will lose by the transaction to the amount of so much es the four per cents. shall be higher than 80, or the three per cents, higher than GO. It may, indeed, be presumed, that in effecting the transfer the CHANCELLOR of the ExcnittuElt will have direct reference to the prices at which the particular stock may happen to be at the time of the transaction. In such case the low to the coun try, in the event of payment, will be the amount of the difference between the price at the time of the transfer, and the price at the time of the lay men% There ■re various other points of view in which we have accustomed ourselves to consider this subject, but which it would be unavailing to notice more particularly until the topic shall be submitted more directly for the consideration of Parliament and the country. The Miuisters seem to spevk highly of their nes- •-• • tions in the wide field of retrenchment, and in par. ticular they alluded to one point which must be highly gratifying to the public--nsiriely, the diminutiox of the salaries throughout the extended scale of official ranks, reaching even to the heads of the several depaitments. This is precisely as the matteeought to be, and thong!' this reform has been but tardily yielded to the reiterated demands of the public, it will be received with the sincerest silk. faction. It was a measure suggested by the plain. est and most obvious principles of common jus tice, that the men who regulated the reduction of salaries among the persons of the lowest ranks, should extend the principle to themselves, a lli t to all others within their departments. IVe trust that the amount of the Civil List will not, in the general distress of the country, be consider e d too sacred to be touched with the pruning knife. There is a rank luxuriance in its opteinlin g branches: which cannot be pleasing to the public eye, and it would be no less a measure of wisdom and prudence, than of expediency and justice, to render it more comistent than it is at present with the general state of the country. Dutch Papers to the 4d init. have arrived. It was proposed by the Minister of Finance in the sit ting of the Second Chamber of the States-Cenent on the 30th last, to raise a loran of twenty millions, secured upon the national domains, for the public service. The plan was ordered to be printed, and submitted to the consideration of the Sections. We have received Lisbon Papers to the 191 i January. The Curtea have been occupied with plan for the government Hr the Azores. On thc• 17th the order of the day was the prnject of a dr. eree for the reformation or abolition of the Wthe Company of the Alto Douro. A very long awi animated debate arose on this subject, which sus further adjourned to a future sitting. Yesterday the Duke of Yosik held a levee at his Office in the Horse-guards.
