EMPIRE OP MOROCCO.

By the latest and most authentic advice. from the Empire
of Morocco, it appears, that when the a• yet reigning Ein•
perur Maley (or Priuer) Soliman heard of the death of his
nephew, and hgotimate Sovereign, Milky Bribim, at Tetuan,
be proceeded northwards from Sale to the neighbourhood
of Tangier, in hopes of cutting off the retreat of Shiley
Seid, the brother and successor of Muley Brahim, flout
Tetuan to Fez, where he was calkd for In the people; but
in this Soliman was disappointed, mud field got safe into
Old Fez, with the lora of a few straggler; and of eighteen
beautiful Jewish, and a still greater number of Moorish
damsel; he had ta►en from Tetuan, by way of provision
de voyage for himself ■nd suite. Soliman followed, and
entered New Fez, a kind of large suburb, close to the old
capital. Thus stood, by the latest ateouuts at all to he -de-
pended upon, the usurping nude and the treitunnte tuphew,
looking at each other, de Men pres. But if the Old Fez-
giant, extremely rich, and the city extremely pimuliiir, sup-
port Seid, as they supported his brother Bribim, there C6ll be
but little doubt of the result.

Sulimau, on his departure from the vicinity of Tangier,
sent his son Muley Alt (the BIM of ■ Negress •ud very
vicious Prince) as Governor into that tuwu. Tetuan still
held out for Seid, and the gates of Tangier were clusrd for
some days. Soliman has also appo d a son of bin elder
brother, Maley Hesham, Go‘eroor of Mogadore. But Scut
is the son of a st.II elder brother, Vezaid, who actually
succeeded his father Mohammed, and an• sekuowk•utcd, and
reigned* as Emperor of Fez and Morocco, although but for
• short time, having been muitally wounded in battle, mud
having died shortly after io Ina palace at Morocco, conic.

The Coronation, it is now understood, will posi-
tively take place on Thursday, the 19.11 of July
nest. A Proclamation to that effect was agreed
'Opon at the KING'S Court on Saturday last.

The Paris Papers of Wednesday and Thursday
have strived. The finance law was discussed in
the Chamber of Deputies on the 6th. Several re-
ductions in the public expenditure were proposed
by the Opposition. One of these amendments pro-
duced r very stormy debate. It was • motion for
reducing the salary of the Under-Secretary of State
it: the department of the Minister of Justice. The
Keeper of the Seals. in opposing itv charged the
members of Opposition with maintaining anarchical
principles. The Opposition insisted that he should
name the sisarchists. A great clamour ensued, in
which several members took part. The Keeper of
the Seals, as goon as an opportunity was afforded to
explain, Said he had not used the term anarchical
piersonally ; lie applied it only to principles.

The Marquis of Lotrootrottititir's proposition to
the House of Commons on Friday night, in the
Committee of Supply, was divided in the contem-
plation of the Members into two parts—one refer-
ring to the grant of 6.000/. annually to the Duke
of CLARENCE, from the present quarter; and the
other relating to the payment of the arrears, from
the twiner resolution of the House of Commons, in
April, 1818. The objection to the amount of the
allowance, although inconsiderable in its nate*,
and confined to only two or three Members, yet ex-
ceeded what we had expected, for the House having
bound itself by the former resolution, a►rd the spi-
rit of the similar allowances to the other junior
members ()lithe Royal Family, we really did not
suppose that any objection could have beim amide to
the first part of the proposition. The opposition,
indeed, was finally withdrawn, but the question of
the arrears still remained open to the consideration
of the House, and we find that of 166 Member.,
forty-five, including the tellers, voted against pay-
ing the armors. It appears, however, to us, that
if the House felt itself bound by the former resolu-
tion to perfect the allowance then granted of 6,0001.
a year, it was no less bound, by the spirit of that
resolution, to complete the allowance in all its parts,
and to date its origin from the moment of the first
grant. Had the House of Commons at that time
pursued the tenor of its resolution, no objection
would have beets made to the measure in any of its
subsequent stages, and the Duke of CLARENCE
would have ever since received the increased alles-
atter without the slightest objection or murmur ;
what loss, therefore, can it be to the country if his
Royal Highness shall now receive, in one sum, the
several citiantities which he might have previously re-
ceived at the several periods of payment? Is there not,
as Mr. TtEengt remarked, in a pecuniary point of
view, a saving to the coontry to the amount of the
interest upon the several deferred payments ? it
rested in the discretion of the Doke of CLARENCE
to have accepted this allowance in April, 1818, or
at ally moment since, and if a feeling of delicacy or
any other motive prevented his Royal Highness from
making an earlier claim upon the considerate attens
tion of Parliament, would it not be unfair and un-
just now to make him suffer for this reluctance ?
This view of the subject exercised its influence with
the House of Commons, and the Resolution having
been adopted by so large a majority on Friday
night, we presume that no further opposition will
be offered to the measure in any future stage of the
proceedings.

L► making this allowance to the Duke of CLA-
RENCE, it must prove no inconsiderable gratifica-
tion to Parlsaineot and the country that it is grant-
ed to a Prince whose previous habits of hfe offer en
assurance that nothing but au urgent necessity
could have induced him to apply to his country for
/assistance—that the public money will loot be ex-
pended in idle and unprofitable extravagance. but
that it will be employed in contributing what is ab.
solutely necessary to the comforts and convenience
of an amiable and interesting Princess, and in the
annintenance of that unostentatious dignity, which
is nut Irbil conducive to the public good than it is
essential to the honour of the Crown cud to the re-
speciability of the Royal Family.

According to accounts from Calcutta, the whole
of the country of Siam was in the must deplorable
state, in consequence of the cholera morbur ; its
ravages were so dreadful, that at Barierik, the capitol.
upwards of 40,000 persons had perished ; the poorer
classes of Siamese hail unroofed their houses, for the
purpose of admitting vultures, and other bads of
prey, to perform the office of interment. The King
of SIAM had held u consultat ttttt of his nobles,
priests, ►nd astrologers, to ascertain to what cause
the prevalence of the cholera mor bus might he at-
tributed ; when they agreed that an evil spirit,
formed like a fish, was the occasion of their divas-
tars; and that the roily method of driving it away
was by frightening it with gulls, muskets, drums,
&e. That extraordinary ceremoriy was actually
