PARIS, DEC. 10 —For these three days past, the Secretary of State for the Finance Department has given public notice of his intention to pnr *chase daily to the amount of, 200,000 francs, in ohrgations,, on the Treasury ; and already these obligations, wi ich .had fallen to a diseOunt of 6 two-t,iirds per cent. per annum, are negotiated at 4 one-third discount. This.proves that the real wants of the holders of these obligatioas were not very great, and that gambling had contributed snore than any other cause to the depreciation of this paper for the ,ten days preceding': but .the prosperity and , good faith of the arrangements. .thtis adopted by the Minister are not less worthy of applause. Under a Government less principled , in its financial proceedings, it might have perhaps been considered as an uncommon trait of financial dexterity to suffer these obligations to become depre ciated in succession, and then meanly take advan tage of this fall to purchase in the market a con siderable quantity of theni, with funds previously prepared on purpose. A Banker or Stock-jobber might speculate in this way; but it would be un becoming a paternal, 'wise, and enlightened Go vernment. All good Frenchmen should therefore felicitate..themselves, that instead of the miser able gain of a 'few millions, the Minister has pre ferred the truly useful idea of calming the slight alarms which the holders of the obligation, may have felt, if counterac6ng the calculations of Stock-jobbers, , perhaps of the ill-intentioned, and thus consolidating .public confidence more and more. ROME, Nov: 15.7-An occurrence at Fondi, on the frontiers of the kingdom of. Naples, has pro duced a great sensation here. Baron de Boul- . finis, i French General Officer, having left Na- ples, w' ere he had been on particular affairs of great conseqnence, was attacked, on - the 13th of this month, by some armed men, new `Fondi, on the frontier of the kingdom of Naples. Four. of them robbed him,of his papers, and, after hav ing ill-treeted him, left_ him on the spot. • It is surprising, that two merchants, who were travel liti, the same road, and who-preceded '",by some , ~e-the "Purnell General- r•-•••-• not stopped by these malefactors. The Baron . cle Botanois went to the French Ambassador, who showed' him all the attentions which his situation demanded, and supplied him with every necessary assistance. His Holiness, who has been much affected by this occurrence, has cal descended bo make enquiries after thy. Baron de Boulnois, and to express -to him his concern for the unfortynate event. The latter took care, im mediately after his arrival at Terracino, to draw -up a \statement of the different circumstances which accompanied this assassination ;• which ap -p,ars the more extraordinary, as the robbers who committed it left several valuable articles in the 1 carriage; but they carried off with zthe . greatest care all letters and papers of which that General was the hearer. We may eonce;ve all the con jectures , o which such an event will give rise among the French who . are here, and who h a ve all maniksted the greatest inlignation in hearing of this act of violence exercised on one of their countr) men. CALAIS, - DEC 7.—Persons who return from, Englainimention, that the English merchants arc entering into great speculations with the French merchants, and that in England, generally, they reckon upon a long peace with France--For some days the bad weather has wrecked,several vessels ou our coAst, GHENT, DEC.. s.—Since the American Com missioners rat this town fwve received dispatches and instructions by the Fingal frOm their GOvern mem, their diplomatic communications with the Englis , Commissioners have been. very frequent, and - almost ° continual. These last, besides the ordinary. correspondence by • State Messengers, have sent to and received. from their Government several extraordinary messungers. These &cum stances'give. rise to pacific rumours. It is said that the British Government, by secret commu nication with its Ministers ; have renounced and so modified its principal pretensions towards the United States, that they can no longer• be ob stacles to the negociation. In short, every thing makes us hOpe tliat the two hemispheres will be soizu noited by the same spirit oof• peace, whose . benzfrcentinfluence has been extended over, Eu rope.--7(.Journal ties Deb its ) • • DEc: 6.—We hear from Vienna that Our Court - is not tin good terms with that of Rome, • and the Austrian Government seeks to protect its subjects from the influence of the Holy See.— The Court of Rome bas published several Notes and Memoirs, treating Austria harshly, and ac cusing her of detainin g vnjustly the Roman pro vinces. Religious matters are also mixed up in them. The Austrian Government renews the de crees published since Joseph H. and which tend to diminish even the spiritual authority of the Holy See in the Austrian State.

His Majesty's ship the Elizabeth, Captain Guion, bea;•ing the flag of the Hon. Admiral Fle ming, is lying at Algeziras. CADIZ, Nov. 21.—We are in daily hive of hav ing a change . in our BUIS of Health ; we are all • anxiety for die event ; many "'vessels .are laden, and ready to sail. The Captain-creneral, the Conde OV - Abisvai, has made himself extremely popular by his management of his high' afiee of Governor of this city ; he considers the interest and conciliates the feelings of all parties, and has most agreeably disappointed those who were pre judiced ttgainst him. Government-Honse has be come' the scene of festiVity and enjoyment. His Excellency gives a Concert and Ball every week, Where his presence and politeness please' every body, and all political differences are forgotten. Captain,Turnbitil is waiting for the port being opened, when' he will sail for Alicant. Troops Continue to assemble at the Isla de LeonfOrNine; rica ; artillery and cavalry are collecting at Xeres ; their horses will be turned, over to other corjss and regiments previous to embarkation. It is re ported that Sir John Downie will command an ExpeditiOn to the Caraceas. SEVILLE, Nov. 23.—The unexpected arrest of Macanaz, the first Minister of Justice in the king dom, has been suddenly followed by another most • extraordinary and unlooked-for event—the seces sion of the Duke of San Carlos, who has resigned, as it is said, among- the Deplomatists at Madrid, on account of the weakness of his sight ; but this is a pretence that cannot for a moment be entertain ed. The Doke is near-sighted, and has always u3ed glasses . ; but he is handy middle-aged, and has certainly consitution enough to do a great deal of business. We are quite confouruled at the circumstance. The Duke was supposed to be at the right hand of the King's affections; be was con sidered to be the power behind the Throne greater than the Throne itself; to him were ascribed all the Royal Acts since his Majesty's return, ex cepting the re-establishment of the Inquisition, which he and Macanaz, and the Duke del Infan tado, objected to, and, we believe, opposed.— Other communications from Madrid report him to have been obliged to resign ; but in the capital every body seems, equally astonished at the event, and ignorant of the cause. Castanoa comes in as Minister at War. England will per haps have more reason to be pleased with. Spain, than she has hitherto seemed to have been. The reports which appear in some of the English prints of the ports of Cadiz and Gibraltar being re-opened last month, and of the sailing of ships, &c. &c. ,were grossly fabulous, and must have originated from some one interested in the decep tion : it was a commercial hoax. Two squadrons of the regiment of. dragoons San Fernando marched through yesterday on their way to embark for America. MADRID, Nov. 18.—His Majesty, in consi deration of the important services of his Excel- lency Don Carlos Doyle, Lientenant-General of the Royal Armies, has been pleased tcrereate him a Knight of the military and distinguished Order of Charles 111. Captain Brierly's plan for facilitating the com munication from this City with the Sea, and ad. milting large vessels up to the bridge, which will restore Seville to its ancient' commercial Lreat , ir-s, has been entirely improved by the King, and is to be immediatiy carried into effect.

Q(' I 9 niceße F.I LACM AU PEAT ? LONDON, FFEDNESD_IY, DECEMBER 14, 1814. We have private letters from Ghent, on which we can rely, and some of the following facts which they communicate, Will be found of consi derable commercial and political interest :-- " Several persons have been sent to England by _different Fabricants, both from France and Belgium, who are to get employed as well as they can, in some of the first Factories in Man chester, for the purpose of learning in what man ner the spinning of cotton is carried on in that place.. I state this from my own knowlege, for I am acquainted wiLh several of the persons, andsend you their names, that yournay act accordingly. Their intention is, to get into the Manufactories, and take drawings of all such 'mechanical engines a 3 are not to be found in these countries. An other person (we omit his 'name) has been over here,, from Manchester since the Peace, and made an agreedent with a Frenchman who has a Fn.' torn at Dbolans, to introduce him fur a certain sum'-to inspect- moit of the Factories at Manches ter. He took him over to England, but I do not know the result. if method 'is not taken to pot a 3 . t.0p to these proceedings there wi not H.: .;..iiachine in England which will not soon have a counterpart in this country; and unless ',here is a duty laid upon Cotton-wool equal to the•difference in the price of labour, I am cer tain that they wily soon under-sell the English in all foreign markets. Since you were here, Cali coes have fallen from four-pence per ell to seven farthings, spinning in proportion, and the print ing equally cheap. ‘i The desertions-from the Belgian army con tinue to be great—they go by fifty 'at - a time. The French, I am told, are forming a regiment of Bel gians, and give a higher bounty than they do in this country. I have just been informed that the Hanoverians suspect they are to be sept to America, for which service they do not seem to have a great affection. " The American Commissioners here have or dered their bills from several of their trades-people. Some articles of dress, which were making at neighbouring place, have been ordered home urx• fin ished ;—this looks like a remove. " I understand that the Americans are much in fear for their Manufactories on Rhode Island, where they ham sixteen, very large establish ments. Ido not think that things at pcesent wear a pacific. aspect." French Papers, to the 11th are barren of inte rest. A French General Officer, who, like Lord OXFORD, was returning to Naples from a secret -mission of MURAT'S, has been stopped n'earFondi, in the Roman territories, and plundered of his papers. The reseniolance of this act to the tem-, porary arrest of the British Nobleman, 'shewf that a great jealousy exists , respecting the operations of Monsieur the King of NAPLES; but while the open and undisguised proceedings respecting that Lord cannot be censured; it is impossible to • refrain - from ,condemning, in' the severest terms, any act of a Government, (should it be so) which so. closely coincides in circum stance, as the latter clues, with the exploits of Footpads or IligilWaymen. The French Funds are gradually rising : they are now 73i, and only a few days before were under 72. • Newspapers from Quebec' to the 12th ult. were received in Town this day, but we do not learn that they bring any thing important. Nothing, we are sure, of an interesting nature has reached Go vernment. In our last page will be found some Extracts from American Papers, but by no means impor tant. They contain the foundation for the rumour of the defeat of -General DHUMIWOND, which, as we observed when it was first propagated, is, from a comparison , of dates, entirely unworthy of cre dit.
