I6.—A most extraordinary nests. elation is now on foot between the French (l'o vernment and the Allies--namely, for the with drawing of 50,000 men of the Army of Occupas riot) from France, for the purpose of relieving the French Goverument from part of their burdens..-. It is not doubted bin the Allies will consent to it. A letter, addressed by Talleyrand to Lord Castle.. teagh, is now a very general subject .of conver. tsarina in the higher circles. I have not been able to get a copy, but I can give you the substance of it. Tim Ex-Ilishop says in his letter, that he Was very indignuNt at seeing, in a private letter front Paris, Juserted in 'the courier, a enurersa• Col, which took place at the English Ambassador's table, between bins (Talleyrand) and M. Pasgnier soil others, members of the French Government, thep present. That lie is charged With speaking disrespectfully of the present Ministry, and with saying that he considered the late Treaty as a dis. its ace to ?ranee. Talleyrand appeals to his Lord ship whether it were possible that be (Talleyrand) coold be guilty of such a violation of bienseatice, and of the ISM of hospitality, as to speak in dis kespect t erms of the Treaty 2—(Goldsmith's An. gallican IllonitOr.) We are aothntipett to state, that the Board of eIIStOMS have be ef , ins truc t e d, by the Lords CUM.' tuissioners of the Treasury, to allow, undor the peculiar circumstances of the country, the impor. t idiot) of American Sour into the aeveral port; of We are happy to state, that Mr. PLATT is re covering rapidly from the effect of his wound. it has he determined nut to cut for the ban. If the hall retains its sperical term, it may work out "E Some other part of the body, without affecting the health o f the patient. it is with ghat soisfaction we observe, that one of the lee partnets in the East Grinstead Bunk has publicly announced his intention to pay theliniders of notes their full atnouut, with interest, on the Ist of January next. c.(ttLisLr. itnroal AiLinrlNa. in consequence of a Public Advertisement, calling on the Friends or Parliamentary Reform, a Meeting took place on Monday evening last, at the Green Dragon, in Scotch -street, Carlisle, to consider of thy propriety of calling a Public, Meeting to petition fur Reform, &I:. &c. But the Friends of Reform in Carlisle have the most novel ways and means imaginable in conducting their business. In the early part of the day mentioned, as the Mayor was walking in the street, two per fect strangers approached him, and put into his hands the following document : "'l'o the Wotsliipful the Mayor and Magistiates of Carlisle. " %Volts HIPFUL SlRs,—According to public ad vertisement, a meeting is to be held this evening, at Mrs. Elliot's, sign of the Greets Dragou,Scotch street, Carlisle, to take into consideration the propriety of signing a Requisition to the Worship ful the Mayor.

Thus these sapient Politicians call on his Wor ship to attend a Meeting in . order to sign a Re quisition to himself ! The Meeting took place, but we believe the Mayor did not take the Chair, neither are we quite sure that he was present—we are rather inclined to think he was not ! Some few persons attended out of curiosity, expecting touch amusement ; the principal actors in the. scene were weavers. One of than held forth, but .as it would be impossible to do justice to his ora tion, we pass it over rather than mangle it. A few dolorous sentences i‘ere dealt out by some others, whose names we could not ascertain.— On Wednesday s he following Requisition was sent to the Mayor : " TO Tux WORSHIPFUL THE MAYOR OF CARLISLE. " SlR,—We, the undersigned house-holders of the City of Carlisle, in this season of unparalleled distress, respectfully request you to call a Public Meeting of the Inhabitants of this City, for con sidering the cause of the same, and the expedi ency of presenting a Petition to the Prince Regent anu the Parliament, praying a Reform in the Commons' House, and the abolishment of all maks:.

The only person Whom we have been able to make out from among the 26 whose names are signed, is the bellman, George M'Carthy ; a man certainly very fit for a public meeting, tor, with out a pun, he may truly be , said to be an orator by trade ! How the matter will end, we know not, for we are not in - the secret, but it is generally ex pected that there will be an exhibition somewhere, The leaders have learnt their lesson, and without vent it would have burst them. The speeches, we understand, are already written; it not printed, and pretty well got off by rote, and u strong party have their cue when to applaud. We hope no mischievous wag will make his appearance to gi v e a turn to the discussion, for if there should, the whole machinery must inevitably stop. This would be cruel in the extreme ; but, fellow citi zens, we have better hopes of you ; we are sure you will not attempt to disturb a triumph which so seldom can be enjoyed, and in the accomplish ment of which so many anxious hours have been spent, perhaps, even when you, fellow citizens, were snug between your sheets. Let them strut their little hour ; you know the Latin proverb- 7 Quod est violentuni, non est ,durubile.—(Carliste Patriot.) THE MARKETS.

Of Nuns Tong Paw you all have heard, by whom donx Hurd, was finely rincer'd ; lie jahher'd and hejaw'd at Jaux, And play'd him many a trick upun : But, t'other day, to Loudon came' A Frenchman, bent on higher game; Then mark, while I the picture draw Of famous Monsieur Champ,' de Spa. The time I well remember, when Monsieur was but plain Citoreo ; For Liberty he £ trailed his throat, A rude and ragged Sans (Wane; But soon he cbang'd its supple tone, To praise NAPOLEON'S guilty throne; And still the loss of such eclat Is mourn'd by 21/onsieur Champs de Spit. His father was a regicide, And wooed a Poissarde for his bride : Reformers, rioters, and thieves, Rank high among his relatives; The Hampden club arc all his cousins; Hailers and Yarders by whole dozens Hare given their fraternal paw To Brother Mur►sieur Champs de Spa. Still be retains the savage mien That mark'd Os early Jacobin ; And boldly still parades to vies The rebel badge of triple hue. Still on his addle rate we see The Bonnet-rouge of Liberty ; And, dress'd as tine as a Macaw, We stare at Afirmieur champs de Spat Full in his harden'd front we trace The foreign features of his nice : Unlike a Briton. this Monsieur 1. Display's an heart . and brow severe. An act of kindness you propose— His purse contracts, his fingers close No beams of Charity can thaw The ice of Monsieur Champs de Spa. Yet, if confusion you desire, His frost is chang'd to sudden tire; And joyfully he bastes to aid The murmurs, not the taunts, of trade. He loves to see the people poor, And rails at place and sinecure; But poverty could never draw On sous from Monsieur Champs de Spa. Fur folks, he says, when cloth'd and fed, With politics neer fill their head ; Nor join iu conjuring up the storm Of Revolution ur Reform : Such vulgar thoughts of sleep and victual He leaves to Monsieur Champ de Spital; On whose imprudent bounty—pshaw Cries wiser Monsieur Champs de Spa. No, no, he swears the Weavers want The acts of plunder's sauce-piquant; And thinks, for rich confusion eager, Subordination mere soup-meagre • Roast m o tto❑ he extracts from riot, And yearly votes are daily diet ; NVhile general suffrage fills the ma►v Of hungry Monsieur Chomps de Spa. Yet often more substantial fare This epicure delights to share; With HuNr hell swallow down a gobbett ; With WAITHILAN dine, or snack with► Coursir77; Or daintily digest his rancour With CatrrwnionT at the Crown and Anchor; Or cram with Penny Lords his jaw— All pne to Monsieur Champs de Spa. Oh; backlo Prance Cie fiend dismit :—lteJoct his font fraternal kiss! Let Poverty with Hope await, Since Tumult cannot mend her sr/2e: Let Wealth, with willing hand, supply The patient claims of Poverty: While the proud strength of England's Law Controls this Monsieur Champs de Spa. o, The Pari►iart'Journals, with their accustomed misappre hension of English names, have metamorphosed the Spa belch into a living rioter, and gravely recorded the feats of illinasiear Champs de Spa. - This pleasant stihstitution of the arteir pee que)4s for the kelli in quo gave occasion to the above Ballad, which may he sung at any of the Liberty din ners, to the tune of Nov 7'emg Paw. 11oAxes.---The Morning Papers have got bold of some stories to 'iloax Mr. Ka w. -One says, that-he liar got a yming Lib'', which follows him about the bonse like a spaniel ; and another, that a fimile had written to say sh e wou ld p i sto l hi m on Saturday , night - if he grinned, as usual, like a monkey, in thelnin Chest! What' adds to the humour of the last recited joke - (as we suppose its inventors meats it to be) is, an assurance that M. Petait Mooae, M.
