His Excellency expressed his intention of staying two months at Paris, and that he should take pleasure in visiting every thing interesting in it. M. de Chabrol then invited him to the fats intended to celebrate the Coronation, at which his Excellency expressed much pleasure, and said he would make a faithful report of it in his own country. (From the Courier Frangaise, May 9.) We have jizst received a very curious document from Barce lona, which the length of the debates of the Chamber of Depu ties hinders us from inserting to•-day. It is a pastoral letter, by which the Archbishop establishes an apostolic junta, consisting of three priests of the order of St. Dominic, " to proceed to the investigation and canonical punishment of all those transgres along which were formerly in the resort of the Holy Tribunal of the Inquisition." The publication of this piece has excited a most lively sensa tion in Catalonia, and cannot fail to cause new troubles in the Peninsula.

Under the head Dutch and German Papers (received last night), in another part of our Jour nal, it will be seen that the French Government hag renewed its Commercial Treaty with the Ottoman Empire. This Treaty it appears was obtained in spite of the efforts of the English Ambassador to prevent its accomplishment, and 'so far is an instance of the rising influence of the French Government with the Divan, and skews corresponding decline in the estimation with which the English Cabinet has been hitherto re garded by the SULTAN. At a late hour this morning we received further accounts from Germany. They seem to throw some suspition both on the accounts of the victories °l* the Turks over the Greeks, and the successes (A. the Greeks over the PORTE.

From these Resolutions it would appear that a pound Irish is equal to one pound one shilling and eight-pence, English. In both countries the pound and shilling admit of the same component parts, there being twenty shill ings to the pound, and twelve-pence to the shill ing in each, hut the shilli►►g English is equal to thirteen►-pence Irish. Thus, 1001. British cur rency is received in Ireland for 1001. and 1-I‘2th part more, and 1001. Irish currency is received in Great Britain for 131 part less than 1001. En glish. The Assimilation of the currency must be attended with a certain degree of inconvenience, but it is an iriconvettiece that use and time will speedily remove, and that once conquered, no one can doubt of the beneficial effects that most follow the change. The greatest difficulty that the plan has to encounter, is the relation that now exists between debtors and creditors, but that is met by the seventh resolution ; and, be sides, will always admit of calculation so as to reduce or extend the sum to be paid and receiv ed as the case may require. In order to meet the decreased value of tl►e penny Irish, the copper coinage of that country will be called in, and re placed by the issue of the copper coinage of Great Britain. The complexity of accounts will in this manner be avoided, and commercial inter course facilitated. " 1. That it appears to this Committee that the pound sterling in Great Britain and Ireland respectively, is, according to the currency of each, divisible into 20 shillings, and that the shilling in Great Britain and Ireland respectively is, according to the said currency of each, divisible into 12 pence ; but that the silver coin which represents a shilling of the money of Great Britain is paid, accepted, and taken, as representing one shilling and one penny of the currency of Ireland, and the pound sterling of the currency of Great Britain is, at the par of exchange, paid, ac cepted, and deemed as equivalent to one pound, one shilling, and eightpence, of the currency of Ireland; and that any suns of British currency is, at the same par of exchange, paid, accepted, and deemed as equivalent to an amount of pounds, shillings, and pence, of the currency of Ireland, greater by 1-12th part than the amount of pounds, shillings, and pence, of the currency of Great Britain contained in such sum ; and that any sum of Irish cur rency is at the same par of exchange paid, accepted, and deeMed as equivalent to an amount of pounds, shillings, and pence of the currency of Great Britain, less by one thirteenth part than the amount of pounds, shillings, and pence of the currency of Ireland contained in such sum. " 2. That as great complexity of accounts between persons residing within the different parts of the same United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and other inconveniencies, arise from the said difference of currency, it is the Opinion of this Committee that it is desirable to assimilate the currency of Ireland to the currency of Great Britain, without disturbing the relation between debtor and creditor, and to make here after one uniform currency for the United Kingdom. " 3. That it is the opinion of this Committee that it is ex pedient that the values of monies of account in Ireland, and monies of account in Great Britain,. should in all cases what ever be assimilated to each other. " 4. That it is the opinion of this Committee, that it is ex pedient that all duties constituting the public revenues of Ire land should be calculated and received, by the several depart ments under which they are collected, in the currency of the United Kingdom ; and that all books and accounts kept in relation to such duties, and all accounts in which the public hare any interest, should be kept and stated in the said cur rency of the United Kingdom, and in no other. " :5. That it is the opinion of this Coannittee, that it is ex pedient that the public debt in Ireland should cease to be esti mated in Irish currency ; and that in all accounts thereollhe same shall be stated at its amount in the currency of the United • Kingdom ; and all sums payable f or i nter e st i n respect of the said debt sould be calculated and paid in the said currency of the United Kingdom. - . _ . " 6. That it is the opinion of this Committee, that it is ex pedient that all existing salaries, allowances, pensions, duties, and debts, and all contracts, agreements, and stipulations, for the payment of money having reference to Irish currency, shall be deemed to be fully discharged and satisfied by payment ac cording to the amount in British currency, calculated at the rate of 12-13th parts of the amount stipulated to be paid in Irish currency. " 7. That it is the opinion of this Committee, that it is expe dient that from and after the period of assimilating the Irish to the British currency, all contracts, agreements, and stipulations, involving or implying the payment of money, should be held to be entered into, in reference to money of the value and descrip tion of that now circulating in Great Britain, unless the con trary be made to appear. " E. That it is the opinion of this Committee, that it is ex pedient that in pursuance of any Proclamation to be issued by his Majesty, the several coins of Great Britain should circulate in Ireland, at the same nominal as well as at the same real value as in other parts of the United Kingdom. " j. That it is the opinion of this Committee that it is ex pedient that all copper coin of the currency of Ireland be per mitted to be brought to the Bank of Ireland, in pursuance of any proclamation to be issued by his Majesty ; and that there be delivered at the said Bank of Ireland a sum in the current copper coin of Great Britain, after the rate of 12d. of the Eng lish copper coin for 13d. of the Irish copper coin." CLERICAL PROMOTIONS.—Yesterday the fol lowing appointments were finally arranged:— Dr. BURGESS, the Bishop of St. David's, to be the new Bishop of Salisbury, vacant by the decease of Dr. ,Fisher. Dr. JENKINSON, who is Dean of Worcester, to be the new Bishop of St. David's, and to have the Stall at Durham, which is to be resigned by Dr. Burgess. Dr. Hooic, one of the Prebendaries of Winchester, to be the new Dean of Worcester, and Dr. Hook is to give up his Stall at Winchester, but at present no one is appointed. Extract of a Letter from Bayonne, dated May 2, 182.5 : " The whole of the French army, forming the corps stationed in the vicinity of Vittoria, hare entered France (about 10,000 cavalry and infantry), witn General Oill)oxsrEau and his staff, by the route of Bayonne ; some regiments by the pass . of Eon cezvalles ; and two re g im e nts have been left as a reinforcenyit at Pampeluna, and one at St. Sebastian. The troops which left Spain hav e p ursue d t h e i r severa l r outes for the interior, principally destined for the North of France. On the 15th inst. the troops th a t const i tute d t h e garrison of Corunna, with those that were canto ne d i n t h at ne i g hb our h oo d, prance: they consi s t of about 6 m cavalry, ,000 en,will bFgin to enter in fan try,. &c. This will fini s h t h e evacuat i on of the di sposa bl e p ar t o f the French force in Spain, and what will remain in occupation of the fortified cities, in c l u di ng t h e S w i ss reg iments at Madrid, may be computed at about thirty-three thousand men; these troops may be considered purely as garrisons, and in the event of any internal commotion, will be unable to act to any extent, b e i ng o bli ged to guard their several stations since the evacuation of Burgos and Vittoria. The assassinations of Individuals who were either connected with, or employed by the French- army,. have b een f requent, particularly at Burgos. Madrid is far from being tranquil, assassinations occur daily, and much altercation t a k es p l ace between the Swiss troops and the citizens; the consequences are generally fatal on one side or other; the principalimmediate cause of these disputes is, that the undress regiment a l cap worn by the Swiss at this sea son,is precisely the same as that worn by the Constitutionalists during their career; the Spaniards demand the substitution of another, which the Colonel positively refuses until he shall re ceive the proper orders to that erect." A letter from Alvarado, of the loth March, states the arrival of the Lion cutter from England with specie, being a part parnent of the loan for Mexi co l ately negociated.

THE THEATItEi. K NG'S THEATRE.—CARAnont brought for ward, for her benefit last night, MozAßT's beauti ful Opera Cori fan Mile, a proof of,hec taste, will b e repeate d. for the a b t e i e t h i o c f h h ‘ e v we public. The Opera was well sup ported by GARCIA, DE BEGN Madame VEsTitis, and CAttAnont, whose per sonal and professional merits we were glad to see evinced in the attraction of a: numerous audience. YM ARK ET TLI EI TR Th e c hi e f nove l t y a t this Theatre last ni g h t was the introduction of Mrs. WA Y LETT as Zeplwrinu, in the amusing little Comedy of The Lady and the Devil. MN. Wayr.Err is a very natural and pleasing comic actress, but her tal en t s are hardly prominent on the Patent .boards, and appear to greater ad vantage in this commodious Theatte. FARREN'S Wildlove, in the same piece, was very diverting. This petit-drama was followed by the Comedy of The Hypocrite, in which DowToN in Cantwell is himself an Host. BRITISH INSTITUTION. j We have to congratulate the country on the triumph cif •BurTsszt GENIU S that a p pears i n th e C o ll ect i on of Pictures, a private view of which took • placesterday at the Gallery belongin g to thi s i nstitution in Pall Mall. The ye whole consists of the works of livisig Britisliskrtists, and which may defy competition with those of 'any other country. We regret that we can only notice a f ew of the most conspicuous specimens of native talents at present, but the public will have the gratification of judging for themselves, as they will this day be submitted to general observation. We shall suffer gallantry as well as taste and justice to guide us in first noticing the pro ductions of female genius. Airs. Carpenter, a professional artist, has two pictures which would do honour to any of the rival sex. The one is designated Cheerfulness, a charming portrait of a young Lady, with all the spirited animation of her period of life, and painted in a very b eaut i ful manner.— Another work by this ingenious Artist is styled Devotion. It represents a monk in the act of prayer. In expression and colour it is admirable, and both of these works class Mrs. Car penter among the best portrait painters of the day. Lady Long, who, as an honorary contributor to the British School, is one of its fairest ornaments, has two pictures, one " The Boomquis at Rotterdam," painted in the style of the. Flemish Artists, and equal to them; and the other, " A Farming Stable," admira ble in mechanical skill, and in the management of light and shade. Sir Thomas Lawrence has several portraits—all ex cellent.' Phillips . also appea rs t o great advantage; so does Sir Wm. Beechey. Slice also in the portrait line. Unison has some beautiful landscapes. Two landscapes froth Sir Geo. Beaumont would make us regret that he is not a professional artist, if the fortune of the worthy Baronet were not employed in acts of liberal patronage and benevolence. The portrait of the Baronet's late mother, by the deceased Mr. Owen, is so masterly a work as to increase regret for the loss of so excellent an artist. Another Portrait by his hand of the late Dr. Cyril Jackson, is one of the best in the Gallery. Collins has sent some works of great merit. Wilkie's. Chelsea Pen sioners and other capital works form a rich treat. Cooper and the venerable Northcote have works that will draw attention.-- Leslie and Newton, American artists, by their respective works, must snake the United States proud of having prcxl e ced them. Wes tal 1, Rein ag le, Jones, Landseer, Witherington, and other eminent artists whom we have not at present room to notice, powerfully enrich the general collection. Notwithstanding the inclemencz of the weather, the Marquis of Stafford and his Lady, the Larl of Liverpool,' Sir Charles Long, Colonel Hugh Bailey, hir Lady, and other well-known admirers and patrons of the FINE ARTS, were present, and seemed reluctant to leave such a treasury of na tional genius. I)6)II.:NT.—TiIiS day, in t he COURT of KINGS 13 ENCII, Thomas Richards, an Excise Officer, who wits found guilty at the late Bodinin Assizes, for numerous frauds upon the- Revenue, in obtaining money Intoiss -different putelieans under a false pretence, , was sentenced, by Mv.Justice BATLEY, to t we've -months' imprisonment in Bodmin House of Correction, and there kept to hard labour. RELIGIOUS TRACT SOCIETr.-qitis morning at six o'clock a very numerous meeting of the above Society took place at the City of London Tavern, Bishopsgate, to partake of a breakfast, &c. in. aid of its funds, and to hear the Report read. JOSI;PiI RiTXsa, Esq. took the Chair + and was sup ported by several eminent Clergymen. The Report was read by the Secretary ;it stated that the Society , had been end. nently successful during the last year in their efforts. The Holy Scriptures had been disseminated to various parts of the globe, and they had gone to enormous expence in the publication of Bibles, Testaments, Tracts, Thanks. givings, Lessons, &c. The Report was received with great applause. Several gentlemen delivered long and eloquent speeches. The company retired to the various rooms to break fast at so much per head, and, after performing the gratifying work of spiritual charity, they entered into a subscription at the doors., They remained together several hours. CLERGY ORPHAN SCl l ool.l.—The Animal mination took place on Wednesday the II th inst. at the School House, near St. John's Wood Chapel, Marylebone, in the presence of the A rc hbi s h ops of CAN'T EftnUltY and YORE, the Bishops of 1.0)41)0N, ST.

When the boys and girls had gene through their respective examinations in different subjects, his Grace the Archbishop of CaNTElinunr, who presided, expressed him self highly gratified by the satisf a ctory marks of proficiency which had been exhibited, and the great attention which had been paid to the children by .the Rev. T. Wiratur ale, the Master, and Miss Woons, the Mistress of the Schools. Spe cimens of excellent needle -work were laid upon the table in the girls' school.—An Election ofpoor Orphans of Cl erg y men of the Established Chur c h of England into the Schools of this Society, will take place on Thursday the 26th instant, at Free masons' Tavern, at half-past two o'clock precisely. liANovEtt, MAY 4.-1 n the year 1824 the num be2, r 204 —of Births in this Kingdom was 52,274—that of the Deaths, 3s 20,070.

DlsTuEssi Sum' o botsto eleven o'clock last night, the fluidly of Mr. AinE RT J,A'IIiESON, of George street, Bloomsbury, were thrown into 'a , slate of the utmost horror and grief, on entering the apartment of Miss JaNc Jams:sow, discovering her in the agonies of death, from hav ing taken poison. The young lady had retired to her chamber early in the evening, having complained of a Violent head -ache; and on Miss Jones, her cousin, going up stairs to bed, she, on entering the room, found her stretched on the bed totally in sensible. She, in great distress of m i n d , alarmed the remainder of the family, and two medical gentlemen were called in, and they used every means to dislodge the contents of the sto mach, but without effect. The unfortunate young lady expired in the same state, never having recovered her senses. She had taken a very large quantity of t laudanum, which soon accom plished her object. The cause of the desperate attempt was stated to be, the young lady had placed her affections upon a young man, a second mate of an East India ship, but her family totally disapproved of the selection ; and the young man a few days since having sailed on Ida voyage, it took such an effect melancholy effecton her mi we have statnd as to overbalance reason, an d produce the ed.

FASHIONABLE PARTIES. The Duke of A Opal entertained a distinguished .party to din ner yesterday, at his house in Great George-street, Nirestminst:r. The Earl of Lonsdale had a grand dinner party yesterday, at his house in Charles -street, Berkeley-square. Lord King entertained a large party to dinner yesterday, at his house in Dover-street. The Countess of Gladlis gave a splendid rout yesterday even ing, at her house in Privy-gardens, which was very fashionably attended. _ Lord Bexley had a grand dinner party yesterday, at his house in Great George-street, Westminster.. Lady 0. Cavendish had a grand musical party yesterday evening, at Burlington House. Lord Carrington had a large party to dinner yesterday at his house, Whitehall. General Ross entertained a large party to dinner yesterday, at his house in Portland-place. Almack's Ball, on Wednesday, was very numerously at tended. Of late years there has not been such a mg nificent and expensive display of courtly state and diplomatic greatness, as what is about to be made at Paris and Rheims by the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND. The plate which his Grace took with him was insured as being of the value of one hundred and twenty thousand pounds, and the jewels are reckoned at the same amount. Two days ago a box was sent containing the Duchess's jewels, which was insured at 60,0001. value. The Duke may be absent about six weeks, and, at the most moderate calculation, it is thought he will expend .50,0001. The Parisians are in admiration of his splendor, and wonder at his disinterestedness in paying all the cost out of his own pocket. Extract of a letter dated Brussels, May 8:—" The tragedy of Jielisarius yesterday attracted a great crowd of spectators, whose numbers may be accounted for from the various circum stances which combined to give interest to this representation— the subject, the first performance of a work unknown in the place of its composition (Paris), the name Qf the author, and that of the celebrated performer Talma, who, always great, is really sublime in the charact e r of Beli.tarius. He was admir ably supported by the other performers, and infect every thing contributed to the splendid success of this tragedy, which abounds in the most noble and affecting sentiments, expressed in language worthy the author of Scylla. Talma was, as usual, called for, and took leave amidst, the loudest. :kcal- Illations. The name of' the author being demanded, Talina announced that of M. Jouy, which was welcomed with Una nimous bravos. The Queen and the Princess Marianne ho noured the theatre with their presence. M..Talma let out for Paris this morning at two o'clock. Though this play has never been acted at Paris, we believe it has been performed at Bordeaux." UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

Three gentle.. men were much beaten—we are sorry to say, Mr. Andrew Fer guson so severely, that fears for his life are entertained : he was also robbed of his money and a silver snuff-box. Mr b'erguson was• conveyed home in a very weak condition ; he is now at tended by Surgeon Carmichael.--( Dublin Correspondent, May 10.) last Saturday evening, about six o'clock, an alarming fire broke out in the flashing furnace of the North Tyne Crown Glass-house, belonging to Messrs.
