And here I ought to state, before I conclude this article, that the contractors have realized the respective payments at the dates of the Ist of Ja nuary and tbelst of February; with that punctuality which is necessary for the discharge of the obligations of the public Treasury, sometimes anticipating considerable sums before the arrival of the above dates. That the Government on its part has completed and is prepared to complete the stipulations of the contract and convention referred to; and that amongst the resources on which it calculates to 'meet the exigencies of the Present financial year, is the loan concluded with the house of Ardouin, Hubbard, and Co. The Mini?ter then proceeded to enumerate the different items expenditure for the year, and declared the amount demanded to defray the interest on foreign loans to he 69,763,230 reals de vellon--nearly 700,0001. sterling.- This amount (observed the Minister) comprises the income of the Dutch loan, of that of 1820, of the annual charge pro duced by the national loan of 1821, and of that for 140 millions effective, which the house of .Ardouiti, Hubbard, and Co. is to advance, and is advancing, under the contract of the 22d of November. There is also included the annual anticipated in come from the same house, agreeably. to the same contract, for the conversion of all the loans or perpetual rentes. There is also another charge included, calculated on the supposition that the said contractors shall convert into rentes all the capital and 4acornes of the old loans, agreeably to the said contract. In this case the amount of the rentes will be 7,5,950,142 reals, and 24 +0 00 ,000 24, ,000 more will be necessar y for th e Sinking Fund, snaking altogether 99,950,142 reals.

The accounts brought by the Paris Papers of Wednesday do not throw any additional light on the question between Turkey and Russia.— The Austrian Observer still maintains a diplo matic reserve on this subject, but its wishes for the continuance of peace are so well known that its silence leads to the presumption that all the efforts hitherto made by the mediating Powers for the preservation of peace have failed. We have no doubt that every exertion will still be made for this purpose, but is it probable that these efforts will be successful in the present state of the, public mind in Turkey, and after the ante cedent declaration of the Porte ? 'We extract the following article from The Moniteur, as in dicative of the approaching commencement of hostilities : " LINTZ, APRIL 19.—A report of General De Sabanief, the Russian Commander in Bessarabia, to the Commander in Chief, the Count Da Wittgenstein, announces, that several movements made by the Turkish Generals in Moldavia seem to indicate the approaching invasion of Bessarabia ; in conse quence of which, General De Sabanief had caused the corps at Kischenoff to advance, and had augmented the advanced guard on the Prath by several pulks of Cossacs. A corps of fine Cossacs of the Don are marching to Bessarabia, to which des tination the division under the command of Gen. Ludziewich was ordered to proceed. This division was expected to arrive about the middle of April in Bessarabia, and to be followed immediately by another division under the orders of General Roth." Further extracts from the Paris Papers are given in a preceding column. The report respecting the partition of the Eu ropean provinces of Turkey, to which we alluded at the conclusion of our leading article yester day, was a few days since the general subject of conversation in the political Circles of Paris ; and an attempt to give it greater credibility was made, by repeating an expression said to have been used by the Marquis of LONDONDERRY in a con versation with the French Ambassador, the Vis count de CHATEAUBRIAND. In reply to some overtures from M. de CHATEAUBRIAND, on the subject of the affairs of Turkey, the English Mi nister is reported to have said—lT.s TQO LATE : FOUR HOURS AGO, I SIGNED A TREATY WITH AUSTRIA AND RUSSIA. According to this account, a triple alliance has been concluded between England, Austria, and Russia, to which Prussia has become an assenting party. The three contracting powers are to di vide among themselves the European provinces of Turkey, with the exception of a certain por tion, which is to form a Greek State, and be placed under the protection of the three powers first above named. England, besides several ports in the Archipelago, is to have Butrinto and Prevesa, the principal sea-ports of Albania ; Austria, to annex to her dominions Bosnia, Ser via, and some other districts ; Russia to take possession of Moldavia and Walachia; and Con stantinople to be the seat of the new Govern ment ; but conjecture is silent as to the indivi dual who is to be placed on the throne of this new Byzantine Empire. We cannot learn that this report rests upon a more solid foundation than the one we mentioned yesterday, yet it i; entitled to the serious consideration of States men, for, if the Turks are to be driven out of Europe, we know no arrangement better calcu lated to prevent the too great aggrandizement of Russia; and considering the services rendered by the ancient Greeks to civilization, and the influence of their descendants, who quitted their native country at the Mohammedan conquest, on the restoration of 'letters, where is the generous mind that will not hail with joy the re-instate ment Of the modern Greeks in the classic lands of their ancestors ? However this may be, all eyes are now turned towards the East, and cer tainly never was a wider field open to polictical conjectures. Extract of a Letter from Sierra Leone, Dec. 4, 1822.] " Inclosed I send you a correct Account of the extent of the Slave Trade in the Heights of Benin and Beafra, which I have from the first authority: Sailed from Calabar, from July to November 1820, one hundred and one sail of Slave vessels, fully laden, under Spanish, Portuguese, and French colours. Sixty-one during the present year sailed from Benny,, from July to November 1820, 120 sal—Seventy this year. Front Bembia and Cameroon.—The number could not be exactly ascertained, but supposed to be on the same extensive scale.—A great proportion of these Slave-Vessels were of a large class, carrying from 12 to 28 guns, and from .50 to 200 men each The following French ships were at anchor in the river Binny, when his Majesty's ship Myrmidon left :—Brig L'lris, of Nantes ; ditto Leger, of Nantes ; ditto Prince, of Nantes ; ditto L'Active, of Nantes ; ditto Eugene, of Havre ; ditto AI. tide, of Nantes ; Schooner Fox, of Martinique.--The four first had Slaves on board ; the others have lately arrived, and were purchasing their cargoes. I also learn, that Dha, king of Sego, has concluded the war he was for a length of time waging against the Foulabs in his neighbourhood, for the express purl pose of going to war with the king of Karta." The discussion of the Agricultural Report was last night, in the House Commons, deferred till Monday, at the suggestion of Mr. BROUGHAM.— The Resolutions,proposed by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER for converting the 5,000,000/. Naval and Military Pensions into Annuities, were carried by a majority of 135 to 56. The Licensed Victuallers of the Metropolis yesterday held a Meeting at the Crown and Anchor, for the purpose of taking into consider ation the measures proposed to be adopted for throlving open their trade. The sense of the Meeting was 'strongly opposed to the contem plated innovation in their trade, and a Com mittee was appointed to watch the progress of the Bill, to prepare a Petition to Parliament, and to obtain signatures to it. Several respec table Victuallers addressed the' Meeting, con tending that an open trade would destroy the present traders, demoralize the people, and in volve eight thousand persons in ruin, who, having obtained, loans upon their property, would be compelled to dispose of it by their creditors at whatever sacrifice. As to the demorctlizing effect of abolishing the present licensing system, we take leave to demur to the opinion of the Meeting, well qualified as the victuallers may be by their habits of life to judge of the temper of the lower orders. That many of them have embarked property in their concerns, and that that property would very likely be injured by the proposed al teration, is another affair. Their business, there fore, should be, not to oppose the Bill, 'on the presumption that they are wiser legislators than the Members of the Houses of Parliament, but to petition for compensation for the losses which a new legislative enactment may occasion to them ; and there can be little dcubt that the Legislature will readily adopt any fair and reasonable pro positions that may be submitted fo it. It would certainly be gross inj►►stice, to throw open the trade, without considering the circumstances of persons who have paid large sums for the leases , of their houses, on the, faith that the present licensing system would be continued. IRELAND.--The storm which lately visited the South-west of Ireland has been confined to that coast.—The CoVance was commanded by Capt. MORGAN, who was first Lieutenant of the En dymion, when that vessel captured the American ship the President, and was promoted for his gallantry on that occasion. One of the Officers lost was Lieutenant SHEPHERD, who proceeded in the CoVance with the intention of joining the Brazen, commanded by his father Captain SHEP HERD, and stationed near Galway. Mr. CHET WYND, son of Sir JOHN CHETWYND, joined the Confianee the very morning she sailed. The Lime rick papers state, on the mountains near Glanduff, 34 cows which bad been carried off by the insur gents from the county of Cork have been re gained by Lieut. ROBERTSON, of the. Rifle Bri gade, and restored to their owners. On the night of ,Thursday se'nnight, a person knocked at the hall door of R. H. JEVERS, Esq. of Castle Jevers, a Magistrate for the County of Limerick. Mr. JEVERS having himself gone to the door, was informed by some one from without that he wished to surrender a gun. Immediately on the door being opened, however, the ruffian fired at Mr. JEVERS with a short gun, the contents of which passed close to his stomach. The villain was So close upon his intended victim, that some of the powder was lodged in his face. The French Journals are filled with the most afflicting detaiis of the devastations committed by incendiaries in the provinces adjoining the capital. We have the satisfaction to announce that the authorities are taking the most active and well-combined measures to put a stop to these evils. The French Chamber of Peers has discussed and adopted the financial law lately sent up by the Chamber of Deputies, so that the Session will probably be closed in, a few days. The opening of the next is fixed for the 4th of June, the anniversary of the. day s on which the King gave the Charter to his people. THE KING'S VISIT TO. SCOTLAND.-Mr. MASH, of the Lord Chamberlain's Office, has had orders to go to Holyrood House, to prepare it for a visit from the KING for next year. Special directions were given him by his MAJESTY not to meddle with the room which was occupied by the Earl of I)ARNr.EY, the husband Of•the unhappy Queen MARY ; • and we understand that a like interest has been expressed concerning a room in which King JAMES I. (from whom It is well known the BituNswlcK family descended) was born. Yesterday the Earl of LIYERPOOL had an au dience of the KING. Yesterday his MAJESTY received visits from the Duk'e of YORK, the Duchess of GLOUCESTER, and the Princess SOPHIA. Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD arrived at Dublin on Monday. He proceeded from the Castle to the Phcenix Park, on a visit to his Excellency the Marquis WEt.LEsr.Ey. The Prince of DENMARK is on his way to pay a visit to this country, with his PRINCESS, and a numerous retinue. One of the Royal yachts proceeds to Calais in a few days, for the purpose of conveying his Roraz. HIGHNESS and suite to Dover. It appears from the explanations of the Chair.; man of the Bank Directors, that it is not the intention of the Bank to issue one pound notes but that the country banks which issue one pound notes must " circulate Sovereigns." The only effect of this will be, that the country bankers must •provide themselves with a sufficient quantity of gold to take up very small sums of their own notes. We understand that the trial of Mr. STUART is fixed for the latter end of May. The 27th is mentioned as the day.— ( Edinburgh Paper.)

SALMON, MISS STEPHENS, Miss. GOODALL, and Signora CAMPORESE,VAUGHAN,TERRAIL, HAWES., BELLAMY, W. ILN YYETT, and Signor BEGREZ.

There were some new compositions by Mr. IfAwEs, highly credit-, able to his taste and science. Ilis new glee, har monizing the admired air of " Nid Noddin," for four voices, was so well supported by Miss STE PHENS, W. KNYVETT, VAUGHAN, and J. B. SAUD, that even our venerable Lord CHANCELLOR, With all his avowed indifference to music, would pro bably have listened with pleasure, and, possibly, have been tempted to join in an encore. But we can only add that the concert was so judiciously varied as to induce the audience to- remain to -a late hour, when it concluded with God save the King, most impressively given, and universally applauded.
