There had been for.som e da ys a great run on the Bank, and not_ less than tour millions and a half, it is said, had been drawn out. Most persons had taken measures to conceal all valupble property capable of being secreted. The letters add, that BUONAPARTE bad nit been idle since the 'arrival of the Allied Armies on the llbine. He haS, it is asserted, .availed himself of !he time which has elapsed to collect and organite a con siderable force ; but his troops are lefirient in training; and neither in point of numbers or equip ments capable of king so distributed as to,pre seAa an,effectual obstruction to thd various large and well-disciplimed .masses which are now re netnaina, in different diref-Cons, into the interior of F: It is reported that a great commotion prevailed at Graveiines, in c lietpi_nce of a rumour that the first division of the Mlle(' Army was near PA ris, and that other divisions, amounting together ,to 400,000 men, were closely following. The Duke of YORK and a select party dined with the PRINCE REGENT on Thursday, at Carl ton-House. Yesterday several Members of the Committee of the Newfoundland Trade waited on the Minis ter at Fife [louse, by appoin•ment, to 'represent to his Lordship the deep interest ‘virieh the coun try must feel in the preservation of the trade to that Island, it being one of the best nurseries tor our seamen, and a source of wealth and importance to,London, and many other parts of the' kingdom. Under these circumstances, they represe.nted to his Lordship the importance •of including this fishery in any negociati'on of a political or com mercial character that .might be entered into on the re-establishment of peace, and particularly that the Governments of . FranCe and of the United States should not be permitted to employ their subjects and citizens in an injurious competition with the British ship-owners and merchants. The Earl of LIVERPOOL replied to this application ge tiera,lt y, that he was sensible of the extent of the Concern; that he concurred with the Gentlemen .v.”.y lunch in the magnitude of the subject, and that rush a degree of attention should he paid in any arrangements that might be adopted, which a matter of - this high consideration de served. An account, we understand, has been received from _France, of the death of Lord BARRINGTON, in that country. His 'Lordship is succeeded in his title ant) estates by his only brother the Rev.

MF,LANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—The infant child of Mr. STEPTOE, of Tottenham-court-road, having been left in the care of a nurserymaid on Tuesday last, while its parents went to a party, the servant imprudently left her charge playing on the hearth rug, in'the drawing-room, while she went down stairs on some trifling occasion. During her ab sence, the child contrived to seize the handle of the poker, which had been left in the tire, and drawing it forth, that part which was hot fell on its faCe, and from thence to its clothes, which were iirunediately in flames. The servant' hearing the serekurs of the poor little creature, rushed to its assistance, and by wrapping it in the, green floth frimn the table, extinguished the flames. Ps however, was so dreadfully burnt, that it expired itt four and twenty hours. I•Thermonteter. I . ' Weather.

We understand that Madame CATALANI leaves our city the latter end of this month for London, to prepare for her Concerts, which will begin in March, and for which she has, obtained a very numerous and a most high .patronage. , Mr. Paul Syinine, Who was commissioned by his Majesty the.

But, Gentlemen, 1 am sure you feel With me that these are topics which I treat with levity, only because they are not, •nor were at the time when they were seriously urged, capable of a se rious argument : they did not furnish grounds on which any man would rest his appeal to your fa vour, or on which your choice ot any man could be justified. if I haVe condescended to revert to them at all, it is because I would leave none of those recollections untouched which the compa rison of our last meeting With the present I know suggests to. your minds as 'well as to my ovti ; and because I Would, as -far as in me lies, endeavour to banish from all future. use by exposing their absurdity, topics which are calculated only to mislead and to inflame.
