The scite of `..Lna Market has for ages enjoyed the privileges appurtenan,t . to !!,Inarket upon a large scale, under charters granted by Charles H. and his immediate successor; and it is extraordi nary that, whilst the population of the west end of the town has been rapidly increasing, and two markets in this district have been aboli s h e d , to make way for improvements of another na ture, Hung er f or d 111 ar k et h as b een su ffe re d to rema i n in a tate of dilapidation and decay.—We understand that it is now int ended to r e b u ild t h e mar k et upon a magnificent scale, ras and r afford accommodation for the sale of every article, of fair open conipetion, among the necessaries of life ; the effect of Which, more especially in the article of fish, cannot fail to be Most beneficial to every class of the community.—We have feen the p rospectus, and it appears that the property, which is reehold, is every way adapted to the purpose for which it is i ntended — com bi n i ng i nter i or conven i ence w i t h t h e pecu li ar advance s of water carriage to the spot.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday are filled with the discussions in the Chamber of Deputies on the Law of Indemnity. General FoY opened the debate on Monday with an extemporaneous and forcible speech against the project, which he strongly condemned in every point of view. Ilis addreis was heard with great interest, and produced a powerful impression on the Chamber. This project, said the General, is intended to put money into the pockets of the emigrants, and if their rights are sacred, are not likewise the rights of others ? If landed property is to be pro tected, is not other property to be protected also ? The orator contended that the conduct of the emigrants in leaving their country from fear, and inciting foreign powers to invade the French territory, has disentitled them from remuneration. The value of the property confiscated was not more, he remarked, to the nation than 200,000 ; 000 francs (about 8,000,0001.), and the indemnity demanded was a thousand millions, or about 40 millions sterling. This great sum was to be dis tributed among thirty thousand families, to enrich them at the public expense ; and during the time of its payment, which would last for five years, France would be as crippled as if it was invaded for the third time. M. de VILLELE answered this speech with con siderable ingenuity. The measure, he maintained was indispensable to complete the restoration, and re-unite all classes of French. The next speaker, M. DuenEssls GRENEDAN, contended that justice demanded the restitution of the estates confiscated from the emigrants. The Deputy admitted that the charter had indeed declared, that " all property is inviolable, but not that it shall be inviolable." M. D►tt'oNT nE L'EuttE amused the Chamber, by quoting some parts of an address against the emigrants by M. de VAUBLANC, wx►o is one of the official sup porters of the present project for their indem nity. M. de VAIBLANC endeavoured to defend his consistency with no effect, admitting that he was under the impulse of fear, as the Jaco bins were heard to exclaim—" II nous _Plat la tete de kaublanc, sans quoi tout est perdu." These Papers do not bring any intelligence from Spain. A report had been current that King FERDINAND VII. was dead, but it was discredited. Dutch Papers to the 24th instant, are chiefly filled with further particulars of the inundations and details of the liberal subscriptions from all quarters for the relief of the sufferers, Her Ma jest), ih QU'C Of the NLTIII..INns has sub sci:ihed . 1,000, florins, and the Prince and Piin cpss of Orange .32,000. A arsTE.BDA3I, FEB. 22.—Exchangz on London, 3.7. months, n. J. The Journal de Franybrt of the 18th instant states, that on occasion of the death of his Serene Highness Fitt:DlA:lcl; IV, Duke of Saxe.Gotha, the following Proclamation was published at eillengen : We, BERNARD ERICA FREUND, &c. lll2tke known by these presents — It is solely to conform to circumstances, and to prevent the consequences of partial occupations, and to avoid whatever might trouble the actual tranquillity of the States of the Ger man Confederation, that we have regulated, by the Letters Pa tent tbr taking possession issued to-day, that the Duchy of Gotha and Altenburg should continue to be governed by the Authorities now existing under our Sovereignty and that of the other two collateral Sovereigns of the line of Saxe-Gotha, with on any change in the form of Government. But we declare at the same time-Ist, That this administra- tion is not to be regarded as a legal and permanent state, but merely as a regulation ad interim, inevitably resulting from the above-mentioned reasons. 2d, That this interim must by no means prejudice our exclusive rights to the succession. sd, That during the intl in we shall not levy any part whatever of the revenues of the Duchy of Saxe Gotha Altenburg. which shall be expended only in that State, and applied to its Govern ment. 4th, That we expect the same conduct from the Dukes of Saxe II ildburghausen and Saxe Coburg Saalfeld, and •that we protest in the most solemn manner against opposite mea sures, and against every thing► that should imply a partition of the Duchy, and might be agreed to on that supposition. BERNARD ERICH FREUND. Meinengen at Elisabethenburg, Feb. 11, 1825. The Piedmontese Gazctte of the 15th instant contains a circular from the Neapolitan Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs, enjoining the Bishops who have long resided in Naples to return im mediately to their respective Sees, and to report their arrival at their Episcopal Palaces by the end of next month. There is another circular, respecting the treat ment of Military Conscripts, which, on account of the sentiments it contains, we give at length : NAPLES, FEB. 3. The Minister of the Interior has addressed a circular letter to the Intendants of the Province, to the following effect : Site—His Majesty has learned with great regret, that those who are called out by lot to serve under his royal banners, though they voluntarily present themselves in obedience to the call, are conveyed to the depOts bound like malefactors.— His Majesty considers that such treatment is not only impro per in the case of persons who have spontaneously present ed themselves, but is also ill-suited to those who are to follow the honourable career of arms, since .it in a manner degrades, at the very outset, him who is destined to so noble a profession. His Majesty, therefore, orders, that in future none but re fractory recruits shall be bound ; and it is further determined, that the penalty of two years additional service for such shall be increased to double the usual time of service. (Signed) Marquis ANATI. Naples, Feb. 2, 1825. It is somewhat strange that in the Debates in the House of Commons, respecting the expe diency of preventing INlemburs from voting on questions on which they were directly or indi rectly interested, no allusion was made to the Bill brought in many years ago by Sir PHILIP J ENNINGS CLERK, for the exclusion of Con tractors. That Bill was founded upon a prin ciple which ought to he rigidly maintained for the honour of Parliament and the support of na tional justice. The Laws respecting Sacrilege, recently passed in France, are calculated to lower that country in the estimation of mankind more than any act of its present Government, and absolutely tend to bring the Roman Catholic Religion into ridi cule, contempt, and horror. What a contrast does it form with the Atheism which prevailed during the French Revolution, when death was declared to he " an eternal sleep," and even such a wretch as ROBESPIERRE found it necessary to condescend to pronounce the existence of a Gon The Emigrants who fled during the French Revolution have been censured for cowardice in deserting their Sovereign in the hour of danger, but what could be expected from ruthless dema gogues by Nobles and private individuals, when that meek and virtuous Sovereign himself fell at last a victim to revolutionary vengeance The plan which has been adopted of dispos ing by an annual sale of the articles manufac tured by female prisoners in Newgate and other gaols is a very benevolent measure, as it not only provides the means of comfort to them, but at the same time trains them into habits of industry, which may enable them to procure an honest livelihood when they are released from confinement. But, considering the number of females who occupy the -various gaols of the me tropolis, might not the sales be more frequent, as they would then be . a greater stimulus to indus try, more immediately tend to administer com fort to them, and strengthen their propensity to support themselves by honest industry, after they are released from legal infliction. Mr. Secretary CANNING has been confined for some days, owing to a sore throat and cold : the Right Hon. Gentleman is attended by Dr. Hot.- LAND . We are happy to add, that the state of his health was yesterday much improved. Mr. O'CoNNtr.r2s appearance below the Bar of the Ilouse of Lords last evening, excited a good deal of attention amongst their Lordships.

It is the intention of his Majesty to inspect in a day or two the progress made at the Castle during his ab-. sence.—The birty-day of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge was this day noticed by the ringing of bells, and a royal salute fired at one o'clock in the Batchelor's Acre.

He was Ambassador from Holland to this country at the Peace of Amiens. His life was devoted to the welfare of his country, and the happiness of his fellow-crea tures. His sick bed and last moments were models of that piety and calm resignation to the will of the Almighty, which distinguish the death of a true Christian. It is very much to the credit of the Covent- Garden Managers that they intend to bring for ward a Tragedy written by the late Mr. BAILEY, whose sudden death is well knoWn to the public, as it is said that the comfort of his family in a great degree depends upon the success of his dramatic production. On this occasion whatever may be the merits of the work, Benevolence must smooth the brow of Criticism. Miss FOOTE, it seems, has had an abundance of liberal offers from Provincial Managers, so that al the end of her season at Covent-Garden Theatre, she is likely to reap such a plentiful harvest as will enable her to resist all matrimo nial overtures that may not be founded on reci procal affection. STATISTICS. —By the Census of 1824, it ap pears that the republic of Hayti contains 935,335 inhabitants. The regular army amounts to 45,520 men ; the National Guards to 113,328. France would be mad to attempt the conquest of such a power, situated at such a distance from Europe. By. I (...,,,,, ....,, Vv , .__.:, THE /111111". B EmovAL OF THE GUARHS.—This being the removal day and changing of quar t er s among t i to respective Regiments of Brigade Guards sta tioned in London, all was bustle in Southwark, Westminster, the Tower, and Portman-street Barracks. At an early hour waggons of every description were put in requtsumn,conveying the luggage, &c. belonging to the several Regi men t s to their respective stations, as follows :----The Ist Battalion Grenadiers, from the Westminster Quarters to Windsor, instead of the 3d Battalion of the same regiment, going to K nights b rid ge! Barrack ; and the Ist Battalions of Coldstreams from Knightsbridge to the Westminister Quay- • ters ; the 2d Battalion of the 3d Regiment from . the Tower to the King's Mews, in the room of the 2d Battalion Coldstreams, ordered to Portman street Barracks, to relieve the 2d Battalion Gre nadier Guards, going to the Tower. The three months half-pay to the reduced Officers of his Majesty's land forces, due the 24th of December last, including those heretofore borne on the Irish Establishment, will, after the. 16th inst. be payable only on Monday, Tues day and Wednesday, in each week. INUNDATIONS IN HOLLAND. The following is the message of the KING of the NETHERLANDS to the States• General, on the late distressing calamity : " The tempests which have marked the beginning of the pre.. sent month, and the high tides which have succeeded them,. have spread their ravages over most of the provinces of the . kingdom ; every day fresh accounts prove that the losses and damage caused by the rupture of the dikes and the inundation are immense. ...... " In these deplorable circumstances, it is our duty, while we' submit with resignation to the decrees of Providence and im plore its aid, to take all possible means to relieve so many evils,. and to repair the disasters in the promptest manner. " The means which we disposed for this purpose hitherto have been immediately employed • but to re-establish and re pair important works destined to keep off the sea and the ri vers, maintained at the expense of the kingdom, and to faci litate the re-construction of these which concern the several provinces or communes, by subsidies and advances, great sa crifices will be necessary. Undoubtedly it will not be in vain that we have appealed to the liberality of the Belgians to assist in relieving the wants of their needy countrymen. The noble character of the nation gives us the pledge : but the in . ,- mense extent of the losses will require also the aid of the Go ' vernment to enable every one to resume his useful labours. " The project of law annexed to the present message tends to these different ends, end we present it with entire confidence to your High 3lightinesses. " 'WILLIAM." " Brussels, Feb. 14, 1825."
