The provisions necessary for tifestippo'rt of the Allied troops are brought daily, at the expence of the French Goverenment, in waggons from those provinces that have suffet•ed the least. Many inhabitants of Conde have been arrested, and conducted to Paris, to be examined in the trial of General liennaire, on' account of the mur der of Col. Gordon, whichis still involved in much obscurity. BRUSSELS, J,►x. 31.—1 t is said that the Duke of Wellington will inspect the positions of the Allied Army ; he is accordingly expected at Va lanciennes before be proceeds to embark at Calais... The Duke's departure has been delayed by cir cumstances which no longer exist. All will soon be settled in a regular manner up on the frontiers, and the Generals of the Allied Armies hare given the strictest orders to protect the reciprocal intercourse and Commerce. N few days since arrived here -a most valuable transport of books, paintings, and prints, taken away by the French in the year 1795. LEYDEN', Fri. I.—Letters from Paris of a late date say that the arrests continue, but ti n the reports of fresh conspiracies are without founda tion. It is true that the Police has discovered Louse in the street de l'Echelle, where Officers of different ranks and other persons. held nightly meetings ; that the house was surrounded, and ' all those who were found in it were taken and pui under confinement ; and it is certainly this ex- Itetlition, which was conducted with much ad dress by the Prefect or Police, that has served the evil-disposed to spread the report of a fresh con• spiracy directed against the Royal Family, the Editor of the Rhenish Mercury announces, in it circular letter, that his paper has wholly ceased by the Kluges order."

The success of similar so clerics in Scotland, although or but recent loutt &rim), he considered to be a proof of their con venience inol benefit to the public. but in tieor• land they had facilities of intiking money yield in terest %solidi we had not in Erigl :Od—the Bankers there ; allowing interest on deposits Hbdve 101. it was only necessary to clah the weekly saving; of many persons together, and their weekly contri butions immediately produced interest. The custom with the Bankers in England w as dif fereor. In the P rov id ent Bank already establish ed here, they were obliged to wait until. it suit ed to buy into the FundO, by which interest was lost, and expense incurred. Mr. Beau MONT then said, there was a mode of investment open to them, by which the savings might be put out to interest in England, as promptly tree - from ex pense; and' to the WI as securely as in Scotland. By an Act of Parliament, 33 Geo. Ile. cap. 54,, Friendly Stiricties enrolled according to that . Act have a preference given to than over ati other Creditors in recovering sums of money belonging to them from the estates or their 'Treasurers or other officers, should they die or become hankrnpt or insolvent; They had therefore only to, elect from amougithe most opulent of their neighbours, inch . of them to - he Treasnre'ts as were willing to receive the weekly aniMilits and pay interest thereon. They might lie :e sit minty Treasurers, that not more than two or three lomdred pounds should be in the hands of one person or firm, when, if it turned out that they ‘sere deceived by appentanee-s, and that a Treasure! shonld be hisoivent, they woitm still he secure, inovided his goods, stock, and debts owing to hint were sutii dent to cover the deposits in his hands, ao.l it was unlikely that any person would . be chosen Treastirer, unless his visible property exeeeded ten times 2-or 3001: The amount of the debts owing by the Treasurer to others they need not regal{, as they Would be prior claimants. The plan was warmly supported—, Committee of Mrnagtment tippointed,' . and the books ordered' to be inonedi- . ately opened.. • SAYING 11,04x.-4-tritirly evening, 're nre happy to state, there were received Iron, IA) depositors, one hundred and tifty-two pounds, itialiing the total snot deposited in tour ;sights, four hundred and forty.tOur pounds twelve shillings and 3 . 1)"... pence.-(Bcdfirst Nates Letter.) . 114%liNt SAVING 8ANK.... 7 0n the evening of th e 27th instant, this B l ink opened to receive, de . posits, , whetin we are happy to learn, the receipts amounted to the soul of sixty-one pounds faurieeu shillings and two-pence, from one hundred . until four depositors.

We are not among those who would expetienee any very serious alarm at the preva lence of musical studies in England.. .Eireininitcy and dissoluteness i . loss of national vigour; and of personal virttr.., have, we know, been coimected with the idea of this prevalence, and that tact by many worthy and weli-meaning persons. But the authorities of the past are strongly against their dreams;of the future. The passionate nod deep de'otion of the Geeek to music, however it might, initis idler hour have Adminiitered to his idler re ' laxatiott, yet seems never to have diminished his spirit for the time when the • lyre was to be exchanged for the spear. All that tells us of , :the Prince of Macedon ) the very initdel of in defatigable perseverance and valour,;, brilliant and luXuriant up to the extreme of romance, tells us of- his ardour for music. . The anecdote of his failtef's rvotonstratiog with him for condescend ing to learn, in his general 'devotion to the art, aii instrument so imperfect as the flute, while * tha lyre, with its whole enchantment of power aml expression„Lty before him, adds the teat lumpy of, a nom as little as any that ever lived, tai be he gilded from the solid and the politic by. the t.eak nesses of sympathY and the heart , . And thils the More peculiar, as if there be a danger in mu sic, it is in that stile of softness and expression, and rich oat-pouring of the feelings, and elo quent tenderness of voice an d l anguag e s t h a t so naturally mid peculiarly is combined with the aceompaohnent of the harp anti the lyre.— fu our own day, lias the character of Scotland failed in the field, or on the sea--in the .struggles of the State, or in the put ides of private life, front the touching sweetuess of its native music? Even in Ireland, the parent of snide of the most exquisite compositions that have eser come from human feeling, where is the evidence that there has been a failure of national boldness, of the gal lantry ofthe soldier, or the endaratice of bardahip, from the deliciousness of her national songs. We dwell upon this point with the more interest, that *this moment Scotland, the patron and producer of so many noble and patriotic plans, is busied in forming a great schoollor the encouragement of music. Her first object is, of course, sacred m os i c . All the test will follow with the regniar progress of taste; and we do not despair of seeing her ancient musical distinction reviving day by day in melodies worthy of her genius anti name. Italy , has fallen, but who ascribes with any shew of reason her de.g,raation to 'her music. Pro fligacy, public and private,- would shake a State, it there was not a lute within its limits. We wish to see this admirable example adopted among our,. selves. There is a Prmligitius quantity of musi cal rul v at, as there is at every other species, latent in England. We ate coming to the time when our genius must lie turned to other arts than those of ar, and we speak ,it in perfect sincerity), When we say, that we scarcely knotra present of More serious value that ! could he flunk to . the - lower orders than a taste for music. There are persons who will stare at t his, and go through the old topics of such thing:'' being beyond their sphere,'' gi ring them high notions, " withdrawing them from their Work, &c." But it should he remembered, that when the relative superiority is maintained the respect will exist equally relative ,f that the peasant or servant will generally have too Much to do to attain any thing beyond a very limited approach' to excellences that the Iterson who is forced to live on the wages received front a master will not feel his obedience less due, because he may happen to pity the fiddle ; that no labour is so cheerfully undertaken as 'that which is relieved by grateful relaxation ; that no relaxation is equal in its (le.'. light, its facility, its innocence, and in its allay ing power to music ; ant! in addition to all, that where we have'ilie means of harmlessly lighten-' ing the natural trouble* Of life to ;tor fellow crea ttires, it becomes almost a solemn , linty not to deny!to 'them the indulgence intended fur all by the scheme of Providence, who, among the ne cessities, has provided so richly for the pleasures' of rational life', has made all creation . ",licauty to our eyr o anti music to our ear." «'e ijiiliice the imitation of Trance, and the foppery-of, using its language, but it would give 04 signal pleasure to be able to announce the es ,tablistunent of a " Coll%erViliOire" in 1;011(101r, for t he musteal justruetion of all such poor per sous. as tlise44vered an eminent genius for the Sci ence, unit for all those others who, being in more fortunate ciretimltancesi might avail themselves of the institution on the payment of a small stun. belicvo tbilt the Idea Liss 9:4 to be adopted by Inille ()four higher Amuteurs to be eagerly enter ed I);_mn, and fol!owett up with 'the tuu'ltificence, that I;....!migs to the British nnme. The Treptise in queQtiott we have already clta raeteritNl as ingenious. Jr rnns of course too deeply into theory tor its to make extracts from its more scientific parts. We give merely a few' parigreplis as an example of its general spirit and stile:— " Jt is an cstnb!ished fact that bartnony may exist independentlrof instrament ; the latter in deed are the only true andfixed measures of it. The music of 'the voice when good is superior in. its effects to that of any instrument, because the tone is more natural, theeefore more gratifying in. itself, tvbile by the on :on of sense Ivith sound, by Means of words, the mind is entertained while: the car is delighted. it follows, that to prodne,e fine vocal music, it is not only necessary that the coniposer should be profoundly skilled in Om science ; ` but that he,shotild also" be acquainted with human nature, and possess the power of trdtismitting his ftelings to others." The chief point on which the Author rests, and whieh , he'considers as the foundation of Lis sys-, tem is, '' that it is in the properties of the !Inman tlie human'ear, and the human mind, that 'tee are to seek for the primary laws of melody and harmony." All ihis is extremely well conceived. and followed up with a variety of dextrous con elusions. The reference of all excellence in the in struniental to its standard in the voice, is con verted into a real discovery by the use made of it in the subsequent pages, and in this the stye rimity of expression to execution, the great ground of all hope of 1111USiCal !idle laid anti provided for.
