The premium en gold at Paris is 44 per mille, which at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s.

The course of exchange at Nevi - York on London is 10tif per cent., and the par of exchange between England and AmF.rica being 100 23.40 per cent., it follows that the exchange i 3 1.07 per ce.lt. against England. But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sigh:, the discount on these 60 days must be deducted fro an the aforesaid difference.

(From the Morning Chronicle.) We were sure that the first communication received by Melo Ali from France, after the change of Ministry, would decide his submission. The French agents who exerted themselves (as was proved by the disclosures in the Committee of the Chamber of Deputies) to induce him to hold out, would at once perceive that the game was at an end. The Allies in the outset renounced fur themselves all separate advantages which might accrue under the Treaty. With respect to England, it is obvious that, from first to last, she had no separate object in view. She wished to preserve the general peace of Europe, and as the existence of Turkey as an independent State was indispen sable fur this object, she opposed from the outset the am bitious schemes of Mehemet Ali, which could only termi nate in the political annihilation of Turkey. With France we have no longer any cause of disagreement. Time Govern ment of that country had in an evil hour listened to the s ug gestions of a perverse, and at the same timeshallow ambition, and sought to promote the interests of France by coun tenancing the dismemberment of Turkey. With the sig nature of France, as well as the other Four Powers, to the pledge to preserve the integrity of Turkey staring him in the face, M. Thiess, while labouring to paralyse that empire by securing to Mehemet Ali his usurpations, first offered the insult to Europe of attempting to show int egr ity meant partition, and, w h en d r i ven f rom his shifts, at last fairly avowed-that. his object was to give to France the Protectorate of the new Arab empire. The vote in the Chamber of Deputies affords strong ground for believing that the unprincipled school of politicians who would let slip the dogs of war, however active, are not so numerous in France as was generally thought. We trust that the dangerous principle of seeking national advantages, not in the development of internal industry and foreign commerce, but in spoliations and extensions of frontiers by conquests, will be more and more reprobated, and that France will be come sensible that she is more especially called on to per form the high and elevated part of guardian of the peace of Europe, and that her influence can only be impaired by pursuing objects, calculated to inspire her neighbours with jealousy and alarm. We have always maintained, and we are sure, that ninety-nine in a hundred of the people of England, so far Irons wishing to impair the legi timate influence of France, or to curtail her power, feel a deep interest in her welfare ; and were she even wantonly to provoke an European war, in which fortune might not favo her, would grieve to see any of her neighbours ag- granMsed at her expense. The statesmen of France must know that when, at the Congress of Vienna, a strenuous attempt was made to wrest Alsace and Lorraine from France, and re-unite them to Germany, from which they had been detached long before the French Revolution, the representative of England at the Congress gave great of fence by the obstinacy with which he opposed the attempt, as one pregnant with danger to Europe. The feeling which then animated the representative of England still exists. We wish France to remain strong and in fluential. She is necessary, as a power of the first rank to the stability of the European common wealth. Jealous of Franco we cannot he, for tee aspire not to be a military power, of the first rank ; and we know that the means of France will not allow her to rival us on our own element—the ocean ; and even if she possessed a commercial navy with adequate means, it would be impossible for her to hold the first rank as a military power, and at the same time maintain fleets capable of making head against our own. The English wish well to France ; and it can only be by the greatest mismanagement, by the grossest misconception of the part she is called on to fill in Europe, that England and France can possibly come into collision. Nature, by assigning them two different elements, as it were, on which to dis play their respective powers, has removed the great cause of jealousy, and destined them for friendly intercommu nion. The French are a lively, exciteable people, and their first impulse is not always reconcilable with what cool reflection would dictate. But, on the other hand, they are without the vice of people of a more sluggish organi sation—they are riot obstinate. No people are sooner alive to their mistakes when they commit them. Their quickness of discernment will soon teach them to place any little mortification they may have felt to the proper account. Their statesmen have Committed mistakes, to use no harsher term ; and it is with nations as with individuals, they must pay else penalty of deviations from prudence. England has done her duty, and at the same time befriended France, by restraining her in the head. Longo course on which her statesmen were impelling her. The past is now matter of history, or as the phrase in the Chamber of Deputies is, the facts are realised. It would be a grievous mistake were French statesmen to take counsel from pique, and instead of profiting by experience, to make the failure in one imprudent course a reason for rushing on another. Let us hope, rather, that the past will soon be forgotten, in a reciprocation of friendly actions between the two nations. The occasion may arise when, as in the case of the dispute with Naplos, France may again aid us with her good offices, The English will net consider the peevish expressions which fell train speakers in the course of the late discussion as evidences of a set tled animosity towards this country. (Prom the Times.) The arrival of the India mail, via Egypt, again directs public attention to the important events that arc transpiring in China and in India—events of which it is impossible to foresee or predict all the consequences. The operations which are going on in China may be briefly summed up in the following statement :—That the blockade of Canton has been maintained, that the forts of Amoy have been le velled to the ground, and that the island of Chusan, on the east coast of China, has been occupied by British forces. We have already expressed on former occasions our strong disapprobation of the principle on which this war has been undertaken ; but, waving for the present all objection to the war, we ask whether this is the way in which it should be conducted ? A great nation may cer tainly, if its rulers shall so determine, carry on a little war ; but it cannot do so without degrading itself, without frustrat ing its own objects, and wasting its means, both in men and money. Considering the character of the Chinese Govern ment and people, and that our object is by hostile means to establish or compel friendly relations, it is evident to a calm observer that the only way in which it is probable that such a result could be accomplished would be by some daring enterprise to which the adequacy of the means employed would secure prompt and decisive success, and which by its very character would strike terror both into the heart and the heed of the empire, and produce a dispositisu to reluctant but amicable negotiation. Instead of this, the war that has been actually commenced, as far as events have yet developed its character, is a petty affair of outposts and nutports, displaying no strength and inspiring no awe —a sort of compromise between peace and war—an at- tempt at armed negotiation, in which it is still desired to treat with the enemy as a friend--a blockade feebly exe cuted—forts battered down as it were en passant, and the peaceable inhabitants of an unimportant dependency scared out of their wits and put to flight by a drunken soldiery. What effect can all this have hut to produce in the minds of the Chinese the contempt which we feel towards them, and to double time hatred of which we are already the objects, and by the operations of both feel rags to indispose to the renewal of friendly communica. tions ? The blockade of the Canton river is conducted as blockade was never conducted before. It is stated that such Chinese junks as are taken laden with salt are restored, but the cargo detained, as the article forms one of the Government monopolies, while rice and other grain pass free, the Macao passage being left open, and the exports from Macao remain unmolested, apparently with an understanding to that effect. The purpose appears to be to distinguish between the property of the Chinese people and that of the Chinese Government, and to in tercept the latter only, as if the interests of both were distinct, as if the war were carried on against the one and not against the other, and as if we might even hope to find or create allies and coadjutors among the people against the Government. We shall say nothing of what has been called " the profound immorality" of this proceeding, because in the whole series of proceedings from beginning to end, we see an utter indifference to all moral conside rations. In the language of a certain school it is worse than a crime. Even to the roost obtuse under standing it must appear a folly, an egregious absurdity, since it directly tends to defeat the only purpose for which a blockade in any form can be conceived to have been un dertaken, and voluntarily to put into the hands of the Chinese Government the means of defeating our most hos tile demonstrations. We percieve no such equivocal hear ing on the part of the Chinese towards the British. They do not recognize any middle term between peace and war. They do not understand such a state of things as peace in war, or war in peace. Their hostility is out spoken and uncompromising. Their proclamations breathe war to the knife. The Mandarins refuse to forward any communications to the Emperor, and the people flee at our approach. In fact, we have yet to discover the character and resources of the enemy with whom we are contending ; and the discovery may be made only after our re sources have been exhausted, our strength dissipated, and the inoraie of our force destroyed. What greater censure can be pronounced on time conduct of a war than to say at every thin g th a t h as b een attempted has succeeded, and yet that nothing has been accomplished!

With the Beloochces it will be a war of forts and fortresses defended by a nation of freebooters ; the Punjab, on the contrary, is is one of the finest provinces of India, and its military force was left by its late ruler in a condition very far from contemptible. The nominal ruler is Kurruck Singh, the actual ruler is his son, Nao Neh .1 Singh, who has shown some military talent, and will probably put forth all his powers of resist ance. It remains to be seen on what grounds the Indian Government will attempt to justify the threatened attack on the Punjab, the ruler of which is not a subsidiary, tribu tary, or protected Prince, but an independent Sovereign. Since the occupation of Cabul, the possession of the Pun jab has become so obviously necessary, that reasons must doubtless be either found or made for bringing it under British rule. b e Journals, .._. We willingly publish the subjoined letter from a corres pondent whom we esteem and respect. The other day, in stating that the attack upon Acre was the second great achievement of the British fleet since the peace, that of Lord Exmouth upon Algiers being the first, our attention was confined to parallel cases—viz., cases of attack upon sea fortresses by the fleet. Had we extended our recol lections as justice required, we should certainly not have failed to comprehend in our statement the well fought and successful 'battle of Navarino, untoward though it may have been under some political aspects, for certainly it was. an exploit which, professionally considered, did the gallant officer, Sir Edward Cedrington, who commanded there, the highest credit for skilful seamanship and intrepid cou rage : Sir,—The other day, when you published an admir able paragraph about the exploit at Acre, you alluded to Lord Exmouth's attack on Algiers as the only other great naval action since 1815. Now, this is scarcely fair to Sir Edward Codrington and his gallant fleet; for, though the action of Navarino may be held to be an untoward event,' and so on, ac cording as our party feelings run, it was a well-fought battle, fully as hard as that of Algiers, and vastly harder than that of Acre appears to have been : I mean that the resistance made was more formidable, and the result, as indicated by the killed and wounded, more serious. There is not in the navy a braver officcr or a more excdlent man than Sir Edward Codrington, or one whose heart is more thoroughly in the service of his country, or who has shown himself to be a truer friend to both the officers and men under his command. " Th's being the case, it must hare been, I think, from mere accident that you omitted to notice the action of Navarino. Your's, "Dec. 2. "THREE-DECKER. " P. S. I have seen a letter from an officer of the Edin burgh, who says that there was less noise and fuss during the action than there is at an ordinary general exercise, and that he does not believe there was a single gun fired which the captain of the gun did not deliberately point, nor pull the trigger-line till sure of hitting his mark. It is this coolness, and knowledge of the value of precision in aim, as well as how to take the aim, that constitute the chief value of the admirable system of instruction on board the Excellent." (From the Morning Advertiser.) Verily our beloved Sovereign appears, up to this time to have earned the name Victoria, which was given to her at her baptism ; for victory has hitherto presided at the helm of her forces by sea and by land, and triumph I),_ decked the prow. Ruler of a people who justly boast at once of their loyalty and their freedom—Queen of empire upon which the sun never sets--Governess of in lions of human beings of various tongues, habits, and ma ners—mistress of the ocean and its tributary streams in al most every clime—it would seem as if her flag had only to be unfurled to add still farther to her dominions, and to emblazon her shield with increased tro i .:hies of victory. The great Powers of Europe unite in seconding her wishes —France holds fnrth the olive branch of peace—Syria yields, almost without striking a blow, to the gallantry of her army and navy—Egypt submits to her will—rebellion is crushed in Affghanistan—the Beloochee, and other tribes, that had dared to disturb the tranquillity of her empire, are awed into respectful submission, and finally, the British flag waves triumphantly upon the posseY4sions of the Celestial empire, " gracing the battle and the breez-y !" For these triumphs, so glorious to our country, the nation cannot be too grateful to the wi=g Disposer of all events, in whose hands arc the issues of life and death, nor too zealous in converting their fruits to the benefit of mankind ; for, how ever great the victories which have been achieved, it ought always to be remembered that their best ornament consists in the useful purposes to which they may and ought to be converted. If, under the blessing of Providence, our arms have been successful in every part of the globe vvherz they have been opposed, or the shadow of a shade of opposition has been offered, we ought not to consider the matter one of mere vain glory, and of extended and unconquer able empire, but as an extended source of power in civilization—of the promotion of true religion—of true morality, and of the arts of peace, usefulness, and humanity. We glory in the bravery of our seamen—in the gallantry of our marines, unequalled in Europe—in the skill of the commanders of our sea and land forces— in the superior diplomacy of Lord Palmerston, and the triumphs achieved by sea and by land ; but the great glory is et to come in the benefit to accrue to the millions over whom our gracious Sovereign may now be called to hold imperial sway. With victory let mercy join hands—in proportion to our conquests let the evils of life disappear, •nd the glory of England be, not that she is the first in arms only, but the first also in spreading the blessings of civilization and genuine enlargement of the human mind. Her first care is unquestionably to protect herself and her free institutions; her second to show to the world that what she will do for herself see will endeavour to du for all others. (From the 4114ning Herald.) The election of General Harrison to the Presidency of the United States is an event deeply interesting to Eng land. General Harrison is an able and accomplished man— perfectly honest, we believe--and imbued, moreover, with principles, which in their operation, must add to the pros. perity of the United States, and improve the character of the relations that at present subsist between that country and England. Mr. Van Buren was the deadly enemy of Great Britain. He was the official representative of /oco jbeoism. lie stimulated the various crusades against paper money. He headed the conspiracies that were formed for the purpose of defrauding English creditors out of the debts due to them by America. He was the abettor of treason in Canada. He prompted resistance to the just claims of England in resistance to the north-east boundary question. The sympathies of General Harrison point, we believe, in a direction the reverse of that to which the prejudices of Mr. Van Buren inclined. General Harrison has, if we mistake not, no taste for social revolu. tions. He will not inculcate robbery, under the pretext of ministering to the spirit of patriotism. He will not prove his title to the respect of mankind, by urging the subjects of a neighbouring state to treason—nor vindicate the rights of hospitality by afterwards harbouring and sustaining the traitors. The election of General Harrison is, in short, a result on which England may congratulate herself. rrerlt. with greet severity - oss a nal, are fattiettlatly ittilignatit at a ‘ f e tt er wi say, *an 1 1 feli3odin • king tertseld, containing a passage offentil , t; td file krenefl l , Journals speak Of the ekisteeee and Pharseid dr Ott J et.: ter as if it ;Vero State-paper published by authd r ity i n the London Oateite.

It might h ave i nserte d it yesterday evening, but the King was no t h ere, and a courier was despatched to him importance to Hanover of the b:rth of a successor to the throne of England, it is by no means surprising that the announcement should have caused great sensation." Extract of a letter from Rome, 25th ult., in the Frank furter Journal :—" Important changes have been made in our administration. Cardinal Gamberini bas been al lowed, on account of ill-health, to resign his post of Se cretary of State for the Interior and take the leNs fatiguing office of Prefect of the Signature of Justice, held by t late Cardinal Falzacappa. Cadinal Mattel is appointed Minister of thy Interior, and his late office of President of the Comin;ssioti of Subsidies has been entrusted to Car dinal Brignola. The fever, which is preying upon all classes, has spread general mourning through the city, and put a stop to all society. The accounts are le.is alarming than they were ; but the physicians represent the malady as increasing rather than otherwise. Those who have left the city in time may consider themselves as fortunate, while many have to regret that they did not come to this resolution at an earlier period. Some families, although they had reached a considerable distance from Rome, hsve lost their parents, and others their children. There have been, no doubt, great exaggerations ; but it is certain that in many houses the ravages of death have been awful." We mentioned the o.her day that a Greek force had crossed the Turkish trontitr of Thessaly, but with what object was not known. It appears from the Malta Times that the body which has appeared in arms in that country is not composed of Greek subjects, but is a Thessalia;, insur rectionary corps, headed by a Greek, named Valenzs. That paper says that the Albanians are expected to take part :n this movement. An insurrection among the 13reeks at Ipsara, was spoken of at Malts. The following fr om Trieste, 25th ult., in the Augsburg Gazette, relates to this subject :—" According to a correspondence from Athens, an ex-officer of gendarmerie, named Calanga, had appeared at the bead of 250 Palikares, is Thessaly, having passed the frontiers near Zei:uni, for the purpose of organ ising an insurrection against the Sultan. The Greek Governor had apprised the Turkish authorities, and taken the necessary measures to prevent the Greek population from joining - in the attempt. It was supposed that the ob ject of Calanga was to give occupation to the Porte in Epirus, Albania, and Bosnia, and so create a division in favour of Mehemet Ali. This attempt was expected to be the ruin of tho Palikares, for letters from Salonica an nounce the arrest of several suspected persons, and the discovery of the clue to the conspiracy. Letters from Corfu state, that if it should be found necessary, English troops will be sent into Albania !" TURKEY. A Constantinople Correspondent of the Portafoglio Maltese, writing on the 18th ult., says that the Marquis of Londonderry had an audience of the Sultan on the I.sth. Immense rejoicings had taken place in the Ottoman capi tal on occasion of the fall of Acre, and general illumina tions, with constant firing of salutes, had followed the re ceipt of the news on the 11th. A letter from the capital, in the Matta Times, confirms the account that Aleppo with its governor had made submission to the Sultan, and adds that the Pacha of Diarbekir was marching upon that part of Syria with a considerable force. A letter from Toulon says, " The vessels of the reserve squadron are taking in provisions for six months, and spare stores to the amount of a million of francs. All this is doing in haste, and yet it is not supposed that the squad ron will put to sea for any other purpose than to cruise for a time on the coast of Africa." A letter from Algiers, of 24th November, says, " A Frenchman who was made prisoner by Abd.cl-Kader, had escaped from his camp, and succeeded in reach ing Tangier, and there he immediately put himself under the protection of M. Delaporte, the Consul of France. The latter in fact !promised his protection and refused to deliver him up to the authorities of the city who de manded him, and vrO, seeing the firmness of our Con sul, did not hesitate to employ force to take the prisoner. After such art insult, nothing was left to M. Delaporte to do, but to take down the Consular flag, and cut down the flag staff, and as he was then exposed to great danger, to place himself under the protection of the British Consul, M. Dela porte is there ciaiting for the vessel which is to fetch him away. But everything is to be feared from suet fanatics, and it is very possible that i.he British Consulate may be no more respected than ours."—Le Commerce.

" To Don Joaquin Maria Ferrer. " Palace, Madrid, Nov. 28, 1840." Some time ago the provincial deputation of thu pro vince of Navarre petitioned the Regency for auL l 'onlY to permit the corporation of the province to be electi2 .l the same manner as the other corporations throughout Spain. The reply of the Minister of the Interior, to whose deparsment the subject corresponds, appear? , in the Gazelle. As v,rowing some light upon the wishes of the inhabitants of that province to modify their fueros, and conform as tar as possihle to the laws prevailing in the other provinces of the empire, I give the answer of the Minister to the representatives of the provincial depu tation :—. " MINISTRY OF TIIE INTERIOR. " Sir,—l have submitted to the Provisional Regency of the kingdom :ht exposition which the representatives of the provincial deputation of Navarre for the modification of their fucros presented to me, and in which they sJlicit an espe cial authorisation for the election of the corporations of province, aoeordinv to the laws which prevail or may be enacted till the final modification of the fucros of the province be cEcted. The Regency having seen with satisfaction this unequivocal proof of the good faith and loyalty with which the said provincial deputation desire to secure that harmony which should subsist between the fueros of Navarre and the constitution of the State, have agreed that I inform that body, through you, that the ne cessary orders have been given for the verification of the Corporations of Navarre in the manner which the deputa tion require, certain that this measure will much facilitate the pending modification of the fueros and the harmony of the local laws of Navarre with the general interests of the empire. " MANUEL CORTINA." M. de la Redorte, late Ambassador of France at the Court of Spain, returned to Paris yesterday morning. 'rho new Charge d'AffAires for the former nation has, I understand, arrived here. The information from the provinces continues to be highly satisfactory. The Five per Cents. are at 2q for the Account. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 18.—On Monday morning, the village of Therapia wa; the scene of a dreadful conflagra tion, which destroyed nearly two-thirds of the place. It began about two o'clock A. m.,and lasted until about two P.M. It originated in the reckless conduct of a contra. band dealer in gunpowder, who entered with a lighted candle into the place where he had secreted that dange rous commodity, for the purpose of disposing of some of it to a customer, when a spark fell and ignited it, which caused an explosion, and speedily involved that and the neighbouring houses in flames. The progress of the fire was so rapid, that Airs. Carruthers, the wile of a surgeon in the British fleet, vi ho, with her family, inhabited a house hard with difficulty es caped in their night clothes, without having been able to save anything from the destructive element. At the comtnenc,.:ment of the fire, the achives of the British embassy were removed to a place of security, though the danger was distant, and little fear was enter tained for the safety of the palace. From the want, how ever, of proper assistance and the scarcity of water, the flames were allowed to devour with ungoverned fury house after house, and like a river of fire ran along the harbour until within a short distance of the embassy, from whence it was found necessary to remove every thing of value. It fortunately escaped, with the exception of a detached house occupied by the attaches, which was burned to the ground. By a singular fatality, both the vessels of war, c'rcnch and English, which arc usually stationed at The rapia, were absent, a circumstance which never happened before ; and this is deeply to be regretted, as there is no doubt their crests might have prevented a great part of the mischief. Lord Ponsonby did every thing that could be done to encourage the workmen, and distributed among them, with his own hands, money to stimulate their exer tions; the unfortunate sufferers have since no less expe rienced his Lordship's attention and bounty. The gentle. men of the embassy were also extremely active in their exertions. and I am sorry to say that Mr. Allison had his eye A erio ws ly injurcd by a spark falling into it. TURKISH FRONTIERS. Nov. 18.—Perfeet tranquillity prevails. Prince Mi chael left Belgrade again on the 16th for Kragujewautz, where, in compliance with the wish of the nation, he has fixed his residence. Though this town has but few aurae. tions in comparison with Belgrade, it is, however, an im portant point that the Government is removed front the residence and the other fatal influences of the foreign Consuls. It is said that there wiil be a change in the de partment of Foreign Affairs. Albania, as usual, is in a very disturbed state. Bands of robbers traverse different districts, plunder travellers, and even lay whole communes under contribution which arc too weak to make any resistance. It is said that one of the restless capitani has lately made an incursion from Greece into Thcssaly, plundering and laying waste all before him. ZARA, Nov. 19.—The Montenegrins are again 'showing symptoms of their restless spirit, and it seems that Ali Pacha, the Vizier of Herzo„, , owina, received information last month of preparations making in 'Montenegro for au expedition, the object of which was not known. Ali Pacha advanced from Moslar with t,500 men towards the frontier of Montenegro, and seemed to meditate an attack. A small corp of 400 Montenegrins, however, attacked the Vizier's troops by surprise, and in flicted on them a loss which is stated at 80 killed and above 100 wounded. The attack of the Montenegrins was very rapid, and so was their retreat into the mountains leaving only ten killed on the field. It is said that Ali Pacha now intends to pass the frontier and attack the Montenegrins in their own country, an enterprise which would cost him many men, and lead to no advantageous result.

The President took the Chair at a Quarter past Two. After the admission of Messrs. Guizot and Martin (du Nord) as Deputies, and the granting of leave of absence to several Members on account of ill-health, M. Humann (Minister of Finance) ascended the tri bune to make a communication from the Government. Ile read a project of law and an exposition of motives, tending to obtain extraordinary cred.ts to the amount of 240,000,000 f., on account of the insufficiency of credits in the divers Mini Aerial departments, and principally in the departments of War, Public Works, and Marine. These credits are destined partly to cover the expenses occasioned by the military and naval armaments, and by the fortifications of Paris. The Minister proceeded to show that the Treasury lizs a deficit at this moment of 280,000,000 f. ; that the expenditure for the year 1841 being estimated at 1,200,000,000 f., and the receipts amounting but to 1,133,000,000 f., a &felt of 45,000,000 f. would take place next )ear; and that if the armaments were to be maintained during 1842, the deficit would amount to no less than 832,000,000 f., which might be re duced to 675,000,000 f., by divers resources belonging to the Treasury, and by employing the money reserved as a sinking fund. After this exposition, the order of the day was the re port of the commission charged with the examination of a bill for the opening of a supplementary credit of 700,000 f. for foreign refugees. This report being read, M. Angels demanded that the project of law respecting the regulation of the accounts of 1838 be resumed. This demand was voted. M. Delessert moved that the Bill relative to the labour of children in manufactories, &c., be proceeded with. The Minister of Commerce stated that he was preparing important documents on the subject, and that he would communicate them as soon as the Committee should as semble. After a few words on the subject from M. Grandin, the I Chamber adjourned. (FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS.) The result of the division in the Chamber of Deputies has produced from some of the Opposition journals an out burst of violence against the English Government for hav ing, as they say, broken off the alliance with France, and placed her in a position to be compelled to submit to a Go vernment which accepts dishonourable peace and national shame. This is very exciting language, and is calculated to produce a strong effect upon the susceptibility to which it is addressed. It is hardly necessary, for the purpose of showing that excitement of this kind is of a nature to be regretted, to say that the French arc more suscepti ble on the point of honour than any other nation. All nations arc susceptible on this point, and all could be roused with equal facility by impassioned appeals, if by climate, habits, and the nature of the education received, the imagination of some were not more vivid than that of others. In the affairs of private life thousands have daily cause to deplore having listened first to susceptibility and appears, the excitement. with reason first. then to reason, instead of beginning What is the case with individuas is the ease with the mass, the difference is only one of extent ; and the e gene roustake theto remove In s susceptibility greater time does it The violence of the opposition journals is on the present occasion increased, perhaps, by the victory which the peace policy has just p th ti e bi e i ff it e y c a t obtained. Having so long opposed that policy, this is not the moment to expect any diminutio n of anger in the jour nals which had advocated war. If the editors of these jour nals have written under the influence of susceptibility, and it should appear with time that this susceptibility was roused without sufficient cause, time also will producsi a more moderate tone, if tip., w ere purely, th o se of party, the anger will rather increase than subside.

These works will be resumed and pursu:'d as often as they will be deemed necessary, and that the' season and weather will admit of, in order to arrest a fresh . sandbank at the mouth of Soulina. Art. 6. The Imperial Government of Russia enga: es L,hcsides to have a lighthouse constructed, with as little de vlay as possible, at the most convenient spot at the mouth of Soulina, and to establish lights there of the most approved principles of the present day, with strong reflectors. Than lights will be regularly lighted on the Ist of March of each year, and continue as such until the month of De cember. Art. 7. In order to contribute to the expense of the works for cleansing and keeping in order stipulated in ar ticle 5, as well as those which the construction and keep ing up of the lighthouse will require, established alike for tho mutual interest of the two empires, Austrian vessels pass;ng the mouth of Soulina, whether freighted or in bal last. will pay at once, for entrance and going out, the duties stipulated hereaf:er in a fixed and invariable man ner, viz., for expenses of cleansing : Two-roasted vessels, two Spanish piastres or talaris. Three-masted vessels, three Spanish piastres or talaris. Steam-vessels indiscriminately, three Spanish piastres, or talaris. For lighthouse duty, all Austrian vessels, without re. f er ,:nee to sizo or tonnage, will pay a talari or Spanish piastre. Both charge; will only be levied but on vessels quitting tl?e, mouth of the Panubc, and not on their entrance, in order that the vessels be not stopped, and that they may avail them:clvgs of a favourable wind to ascend the river without loss of time. The levying of the duties for the cleansing will take plAee from the period when the works are commenced. Nevertheless, every Austrian vessel which, from the year 1842, would be neeessit2.ted to employ boats, either to enter or leave the Danube, would from that fact alone he exempt from she charge for cleansing.

The General Commanding-in-Chief having det.med it expedient to cause a reference to be made to the Master- General and Board of Ordnance, in respect to the supply of implements to the soldier, for takin off the lock, or the parts thereof, for oiling it, as also to the means which the soldier should have of taking off or replacing the nipple of his musket, and, further, as to the price to be charged to the soldier for the loss of copper caps, the following ex tracts of the communications received from the Master-Ge neral and Board, i❑ reply, are hereunto annexed, for the information and guidance of the corps concerned : " With respect to the supply of implements for taking ff the lock, or the parts thereof, for oiling it, this depart ment, I am to state, has never furnished the soldier with tools for that purpose, nor does it appear to the Master- General and Board desirable to encourage him so to do, more especially with the superior locks fixed to percussion arms ; much injury being done to locks by frequent taking out the screws and springs : but, as small detachments might have no means of obtaining the assistance of the sergeant armourer of the regiment, either for replacing a defective nipple, or for taking off and oiling a lock re quiring that operation, the Master- General and Board propose that each sergeant and corporal should be sup plied with the following articles, viz : " One tri-armed nipple wrench, with turnscrew and worm, one spring cramp, three spare nipples. " Thia woold.gi,Le_ a proportion to each company of eight of each of the former tools, and twenty-four spare nipples a proportion which it is considered will be ample for the objects in view. _ _ -•` The Master-Gcneral and Board are of opinion that the price to be charged to the soldier for the loss of cop per caps should be ten shillings per thousand." By command of the Right Hon. General Lord Hill, Commanding-in. Chief, CIRCULAR MEMORANDUM. Horse Guards, Sept. 8, 1840• The General Commanding-in-chief hating had under his consideration the means of carrying the percussion caps by corps supplied with ► percussion arms, has been pleased to approve of the following arrangements :- 1. In thc case of infantry regiments, the general supply of percussion caps is to be carried by the men in a tin magazine, calculated to contain from 80 to 100 caps.

The caps intended for immediate use arc to be carried in a small pouch made of patent leather on the outside, for the better resistance of wet. The pouch is to be attached to the coat on the right side by means of a ring, and to be so fixed as to be clear of the belts. 2. The pouch, in the case of regiments armed with rifles, is to be attached to the waist-belt. 3. The pouch, in the case of cavalry regiments, is to be attached to the sword-bait, Approved patterns of the pouches and tin magazines, intended both for the cavalry and infantry, have been sealed and deposited fur reference at the Board of Gene ral Officers.

' Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer's long promised comedy of Money was produced at this theatre last evening. The , following is an outline of the plot. Alfred Evelyn (Ma , eready), a poor student, who had studied at one of the Universities as a sizer, but had been expelled for horse ' whipping a Nobleman who bad insulted him, has two cousins, the one Georgiana Vesey (Miss P. Horton) a girl of fashion, the daughter of a rich old father, Sir John Vesey ( Strickland), commonly called St ngy Jack ; the other Clara Douglas (Miss Helen nitwit), a poor orphan, a dependant upon the bounty of the Veseys. With Clara be is in love, offers her his hand, and, although beloved by her, is rejected because she will not inflict on him those miseries which wedded poverty necessarily brings in its train. While he is smarting under the supposed wrong of her rejection of his suit, which he attributes entirely to mercenary motives, news arrives that a rich uncle is dead, who has left the bulk of his property to Alfred Evelyn, -ho, from the poor slighted scholar, becomes the admired approach him. He pretend s t o h ave di scovere d of a",%,- • •he. will, leaving Cl ara 20,0001 . an d thus a Co al e" Of '^nt of the wo r ld. Miss Vesey, by m i makes her ndepen,_ and wins him, and be is received desire of her father, wooe.. w of testing tune by gambling. testing her sincerity, as her accepted lover, With a tn, , Sir F. Blount. he pretends to have log all his it— She immediately rejects him and accept s (Mr. W. Lacy), a fashionable fop, wh”es Clara e,. rn " for ward and ofFers to share her fortune with htnt—they. are united, and all ends happily. There are a variety of other characters in the piece. none of whom, however, contribute essentially to the development of the plot. The cha racter of Evelyn is one of those monsters of perfee tion,—i. c. of intense but polished selfishness, under the mask of universal benevolence, which Bulwer is sO fond of drawing —very maudlin, very unna tural, and therefore admirably adapted for Macready. Whet, for instance, can be more unnatural than his making an offer to Georgiana in the presence of Clara and four persons, who are all standing by listening and taking part in the conversation ? In what civilized society could such gn incident as th;s possibly occur? The piece is heavy and requires curtailment, and it may then run to the end of the season. There was considerable disapprobation manifested the beginning of the fifth act, but the curtain fell amidst bun :.',"Digise' and it was given out by Webster for repetition ver Bulwer_ , was ° calledfor but was not forthcoming. ey md ,...read),_aftc!• calledb_ing . for some tittig, led forward Miss Helen ." , tualt, and was greeted with e. with loud dhter§. petting- tin ot piece is ad • ALits-iiblistg.—A • pulitte of the trade anii hotte.6 . lh`rt well- , washers to this cellent object is to be held this eVeningi at, the School House, Harp-alley, Shoe-lane.
