i 1: ing, this atrocious Fraud, and counteraf,ling its effeds. The following Officlal Note was sent round to all the Evening Papers, but it unfortnnitety slid not reach us time enough for our Publication. TO THE EDITOR. SIR, " Treaistry, Afay s, tgos One o'au•k. " I have to acquaint you, that the Message, which was supposed to have been sent this morning from Lord ti A Ni , K tS BURY to the LORD MAYOR, stating, tthat the Negotiations With France had terminated amicably, ii r a fabrication, and totally destitute of truth. - , - " I am, Sir, " Your most obedient humble Servant, • JOHN MRCtI4T." The Committee of the Stock-Exchange had an immediate Meeting alter the Exchange was shut up, and they came to the following Resolutions : STOCK EXCHANGE. " The infamous and unprecedented Imposition which was praaised yesterday morning on the Right Hon. the Loao MAYOR, leading, as it did, to his communicating, in Person, the lutelligenCe of an amicable Adjustment with France, has occasioned the most serioits mischief in the Stock Exchange, A Committee of the whole House was convened, and after a very Lull and animated discussion, all Bargains done . on that 1:lay in the Stock-Exchange, both liar Money and Titnie, were declared to be Nutt and Voto. " The businesi of the Stock Exchange was on the instant put s stop to: a Committee was appointed to investigate the AcCounts of every Member of the Stuck Exchange, both in relation to the business transacted on the 4th and 3th instant. '" This Comtr ittee is now sitting, and great, hopes are entertained that the perpetcator of this villainous act will, through their energy, be brought to light." 'We understand that the Committee came to the' :resolution of offering a reward of soool. for the discovery of any person or persons concerned in this most nefarious transaetion. The LORD MAYOR likewise, with a mo*t honouiable spirit, has otDred Soo Guineas reward for the attainment of the same °Nat, ' Bills are posted up all over the City this morning to this circa. We most sincerely hope that some discovery may be made of the wretches who could prance so infamous . a fraud ul►on• the Public.. We have heard this morning, that the Authority of the Committee of the Stock-Exchange is not Competent to nullify Bargains for real Stock, unless both parties agree to their being considered as void. In this case, the transaetions of yesterday will pro. bably furnish matter of discubsion in our courts of w. - • At the mrnnent our Paper was about to be put to Press, - we heard Chit the person who committed the Fraud . upon the Lo RD MAYOR, had been disco. vered. '1 Le Seal, it was founctupowhinv NOTHING has yet arrived that can definitively relieve the Public Mind Tram its state of anxious suspense ; but the belief becomes every hour more general, that the issue is unfavourable to the hopes of a continuance of Peace. Several Letters written an Saturday and Sunday 'by those very ncJarly conne&ed with the British Ambassadur, state, without any reservation, his Lordship's firm intention of quitting Paris on Tuesday night, or early on Wednessday morning. His Lordship did not attend' the Consular Court on Sunday last. The ,impression this morning seems to be, that if his "Lordship was not himself to leave Paris at the time above-mentioned, he ivould have' dispatched a Messenger, who mint have arrived here by this time. The conclusion is, that be must have left Paris, and will send a Messenger from Boulegne or Ca/air, to announce his arrival at one or other of those places on• his way horir. We are unwilling to give a posi tive Opinion on a point to which some 'degree of un. certainty must still attach, but it is with pain we remark, hat every degree of probability is against the continuance of Peace. 'General Air- DR VOSSY, we understand, had every thing packed up ready for his departure at a moment's notice since Vv . vdnesilay last. The Funds this morning experienced great flueloa. tiorts. ''Tbey opened at 63, rose to 651, fell baCk to 64,; and at twelve o'clock were as kolas 6zl. THr s morning we received the Clefila Cabinet of the 3d instant. It contains an account of some presentations to the CHIEF Co:out. at the audience on Sunday by the Foreign Ambassadors, and remarks that the English ikatbassador did not aiy-ar at the audience. • Me bait:storms have done considerable damage in the .Ct?untry round Paris.

The Royal Party were received with loud and reiterated.* ;acclamations by the Audience.. 44 God rave the King," and '' Rule Britannia," were given by the vocal Performers, and excited cite mast zealous testimonies of applause. ,Pore had a remarkably full House to his Benefit o n Wednesday night. performance of t;)e Stranger was evidently the effeet of, much study, and added considerably, to his reputation. Mrs. Pore s ' though labouring under a severe indkposi (ion, made the charades* of Haller peculiar ly interesting. Lodoirka went off very well, hut the delays between the Acts protraili:d the Per. formance till half past twelve o'clock. Comte, it seems has been - very solicitous to retire from Cc vent-Gardent Theatre, `since it bccatuc. known that KEMIII,R has purchased a share in it.— The Manager,' however, is wisely averse to, part with so popular an Adtor and surely the talents of both Cooltz and-ICENIaLs might be employed highly to the advantage of that Theatre without any dimi. nution of the interest, or mortification to the feel. ingi, of the former. Yesterday a Court of Lieutenancy was. held, when Capt:JEN:wistos of the East London Militia, was appointed Major, and Car. PottIER of the West London Militia WAS appointed Major. of the \Vest London. It has been alledged as an argument hgainst the Nottingham Elation Bill, that 44 ,none but the friends of Mr. PARKER PU - KE will be appointed to ad as Magistrates fur the town 'of Nottingham."' ShMild this assertion be founded, the town 'of Not. tingham will have no reason. to.regret, because the friends of Mr.. Coxs are the friends of peace, of good Ord: r, and of justice. According . to the Frankfort Gazette, a machine has been discovered at Berne, capable of direeting .Balloons in their progress through the upper regions, .which is said to have been tried witk complett SAC. cets. Mr. ANGURSIEIN, who is never languid in the prosecution of a laudable ohjea, has devoted so much :mention to the miserable state of the poor Cbimtity Sweepers, that a plan is in great forward rim for the•melioration of their toil, if it shall be found impossible wholly to pat an end to it., The *e o EFO R D arrived in arm _on 15u1,r Thursday eVening last; with a nunleious trail , i of attendants. His departitre from England at the Fr . , sent rime, .has been regarded as a stronk indiCation. that there will be no irttetruption of the_ Peace with that Country. Wherever his pihrney .ha; been publicly mentioned; the observation has been added, that it would hardly take place at. the inathent of the present disebssionii between the two Countries, unless these had certainly taken a favour. able turn. We know not to what length the puke of IlgoFoßti may be in the secret of the Negotiation, but . lic probably comes to France on his es*n private opinion. People in general ,appear to be it a joss jo con .ceive upon what rnotiVes the Beys of Egypt ctin have been induced to seiid an Ambassadnr Extriorclinary to the Court of London. We know not what right can be pretended by a dependent Province of the Ottoman Empire, to have itself represented by an Ambassador at a Foteign Court ; nor under what title or pretext a. Foreign Power can receive Em. bassies of such a sort. They write as follows from elix-la-Cbcpelle, of the date of April '24th, 41 The Prefzet yeiter k lay receiv.. ed from Citizen REGAL, of the'Legislative Body, a ietrer, containing a passage highly important and interesting to the friends of Peace, and Which may be rcgaided as official : " I take my pen to announce to you the I,appy pews of the certain continuance of Peace. Last night (April 18) all difficulties were fivaily-tlane.away,-iiiid the two Governments per fitily reconciled."' It was remarked, yesterday, that the English Ambassador was not present when the FtRAT Cur. sut., on his return from the Parade, gave Audience to the fureign AtnbAssadors.

Ti; R observations which have been sent to tne by several Agents of the Repu . blic concerning the execution of the Dkpositions of the Senatur Com_ udium of the ,6th FloreA, relative to the Emi giants, having induced me to make a reference upon ,it to the Grand judge, and so request him . to propose to . the Government a•measurewhich might conciliate to the Republic -the 'submission of the Frenchmen settled 'in Foreign Countries, with the continuance of a residence necessary by 'the care of their fortunes, and by. the interests of the Esta blishinents they have formed : I have received an answei:ctinceivedin the following :terms : (1‘ Citizen Minister,---4 rook a fit time tq sub mit to the FIRST CONSUL, the important question proposed in your Letter of -the 17th of this month, He has sigttified w me the following to be his in tentions upon this head. "'He does not understand that the delay fixed by' the Scaatui Consultuirr, of the 6th Fhireal, year to, can have efiegt against those Natives of France, who have, at, different periods, quitted' their Country, only to visit Foreign Countries;for the purposes of Commercial Speculations, of the exercise of the liberal and mechanic Arts, or of public aod'irivate Instruction. " His intention is, that the declarations of all such Frenchmen shall Ile received by our Ambassa dors and Diplomatic Agents, notwithstanding the lapse of the,,time, since the Ist Vendemiaire, and that - they shah-receive letters of amnesty from me, as soon as t.lteir declarations come'intO my hands. gi The Fittyr c‘,./NSUL. alio allows all such French men to continue their residence abroad, as long as may be necessary fur the purposes of their trade, arts, or instration, on account of which•they left France. " If they be disposed to continue their residence, abroad, they must appear before ,our Dililumatie Resident, and make a declaration to that died,. upon which he will deliver to them the necessary permission. The formal aft of permission must be' transmitted to the Prefect of the Department, where. he OM receives it had his last residence, that it' may be there known where he now lives, and that he may enjoy in France all the sights belonging to Frenchmen, tit which he is restored by the letters of amnesty, and by the permission. to continue his residence abroad. 14 The F IRST Colour, intends to free from the disadvantage incurred by the delay since the Ist Vendemiaire, none but persons belonging to the classes above specified ; and this aft of clemency generosity cannot apply to those who forsook their Country to bear arias against her, or what was still worse, to excite Foreign Powers, by their intrigues, to take arms against France. The intlif Terence which those . persons affetied at the first, for . an ad of grace so signal, and which they ought to have received with the liveliest gratitude, or even their hesitation amid a desire to avail themselves of is, renders diem no..V, utterly unworthy." RATISOON, i 1.---They speak again, of propositions made by the Court of Pientra, tending to augment the.
