This, day will long be Memorable itt.the history of the British Empire : it witnesses the, union of our Princess with an 111ustrious Scion'of the House of Saxony: We have devoted other pints of our Impression to the various . tletads connected with this important occasion, which will all be read with interest : And we have only, here, to invite every Loyal Briton, every lover of our good "King and his Family, every liiend to our glori- OHS Constitution and to the illustrious r: tee with whose weal the , national prosperity is so clOsely interwined, to invoke with its the choicest of [leaven's blessings upon the Union of this tleyl :May items elood overspread its bright fleas, but, and it is out easy to surpass the prayer, may it afford as nohle,an example of moral virtue and connubial happiness to the people of these realms, us har fur more than half a century been glven,by King .6eottoe the Titian and CHAR :43II'B his Queen ! Should ever political storm :arise; and; at any period' loin; distant from this date. the land look back after a dreadful strug gle, as it does now, to victories unparalleled, i ghiry complete, security immoveably, and gran deur without example, 'may it add one joy more to the felicity of the Pair joined to-day, that the dignity, the respect, the 'veneration, the lo . Ve with which they surrounded the royal station,,bad Con tributed under the blessing of , Providence, as in their Royal Grandfather and his virtuous Consort, to the safety of the State, anti the 4atvation of Europe. After the Nuptial Ceremony and tengratula tions, Ito.pl Pair set out for °Wands, and nor Bushey Park.,. - as has heen stated. - , The Princess AUGUSTA arrived in town yester day, to be present on this auspicious occasion. Nine o'clock is the hour appointed for the Ce remonial of the Nuptials. The Paris Papers of Monday afford us a few ex tracts for a preceding column. The Dey of At.- Gteas seems to have teen beguiled into a kind and revitution-making moot by the' whispers of a confederacy to put au end to his piracies. He has, at the .request of the Consul, re s t ore d n i ne French slaves, who weie landed at Toulon on the 14th. It is hinted that the Ministers of I,;outs XVIII. arekto make. au important communication to the Legislithre, in an extr.ioldinary Sitting of the Chamber of recta; but nothing of the nature of this statement transpires,' The news ,from Germany is rather interesting. BERNADOTTO wants to,match his Sun Oscan with the 'Princess of smile Grand German Family— which family is not said. Mr. Iloasta brought forward bis. promised suggestions respecting the gradual resuMption of Cash Payments by Op Bank, in the House of Commons, last night. His plan proposes, that, for the first six months one pound notes 014 should 'be payable ; for the' second six months those of two pounds ; iu the Next half year those of Ave pounds, anti in the next to that of all higher notes. When we retttemb'ei . ..the labours Of this Octitlk. man on the littliain Question, and observe that every one of his predictions have - been falsified by the vvent, however highly we think of his finan cial talents, we are, .tertttinly not intlined- to regret that the House negatived his moticm for a Committee by a Majority of 146 to 73. There scents to be a great disposition in certain quar ters to view every advaintage which the Bank en joys with most unwarrantable jealousy - . The Bank has done much fpr the country; has always acted vvith great liberality towards the Public; and never sheaved a backwardness to co'-operate in any measure for the general service. It is. not therefore candid to go grudgingly and growlingly to Work - with that highly re spectable Body.' What isilit; , ht and just be tween the Government and it tins been, and will be done. In tittles of need the .Bank itecomtno dates the Public as grateful return for the privi leges it .enjoys tun gracious thing to' recommend 'a sort of &allot.; with it which would disgrace a Chandler, and is utterly unworthy of a Nation, 11 Sr, Iry N 1 7 .

Mr. BANK as moved the previous ques tion, which was carried on ,a division, .65 against 47. The House afterwards divided on a motion of - Sir S. Ramtm.Y, for the Returns of Aliens sent out of the Country at: the instance of any Foreign Minister. The Motion was lost—the numbers being 31 to 82. , ANIERICAN PAPERS.

On, E'riday last, itl is said, a meeting of about twelve of, the principal bankers" of PlitiS .was held to consider of as pro posal front the Minister for a loan of. 50 millions of francs, a li tt l e more th a n t wo millions sterling. 'rhe terms..offered were an investment .of five per cents, at 50, which the bankers are represente t f to have declined. ,The market price has been f)r some time past between 59 and GO ; but, trim titer it was that the idea of a . loAn was deemed likely to depress public credit, or that the sum to he raised was.thought. too large, the profit, though apparently considerable, did not appear tempting enough to the,bankers, and theydeclitted the offer. According 'to advice* received yesterday from Paris of the 27th nit., Count TOREN() and his companions still remained in confinement at the above date ; but the Vrench Government had sig nified.to (bent that their arrest had originated in misrepresentations, and that, as soon as 'partici!. lar forma would admit of it, they would be re stored to liberty. A lettbr from one a the Li bOrales (not in confinement), dated the 27th, stataa, that in two days the prisoners expected to be liberated. It is stated in letters from Turin,. dated 20th that" Lord WILLIAM BENTI , lately ConiMantler in Chief of Aim English troops in the Mediterranean, axrired on the 18th in that city, from Rove; and on the next,day set out on his retnrn to England. hear-Admiral Sir WM, JOHNSTONE llor's is ap pointed to coutmand the naval ftSree on the east Coast, and will shortly hoist his flag on hoard a frigate' in Leith Roads. • 14Mademo4'elleloiERIN ligeellaCil in a Balloon from the Champ de Mars on Sunday afternoon.
