negnciiitiog the Loan of 14,6t41),000 franca of an-

Frasier. proptroal *ill be received for h*s.litasit
5.G1H1 francs amouity, 1101' after Werliwsdity, the
y7to of 31,1; and if the proposals meet the ap.
prolueioo of the FilialleP twister, the monies are
'2O, 15,


and 10 per cent. bri4ittuing with the 6th of June,
and clo.ing on the 7th of December.
It is ter:: generally imagined that but a small
portion of this loan will be provided. by British
capitalists, money being in suf►cient plenti in
France its supply the wants of the Government.
There are rotor persons, however, in this country,
anal particularly the CitaNctt.Loa of our EXCUE-
who think that gold is no where to be had
but in England, 011.1 are as apprehensive of let-
Wig it gn fords us if it could never return;
and fur their apprehensions the eur►etiry *of the
country is still expri4etl to ail the caprice of the
Bank of England, and the value of property left
Booting *and uncertain. They have 'assumed two
points: first, that all the Frestili Loans will be coil.
tracted England—end, secondly, 'that it will be
all transmitted in gold; but the incorrectness 'of
the latter supposition is so far proved by the expe-
!. mime of the rook, as to render the correctness of
the former a matter of little importance.
ThesePaperecontain no further mention of the
trials at Albi. The next accounts will probably
communicate the fate of the prisoners.

We have been induced to extract a long letter
'from the lla•tbitrgh Correspoptdme, purporting to
be written by • Mexican Royalist, because we feel
it right 'to give our Renders every opportunity of
'perusing the sentinients of all parties on the subject
'of 'the present struggle litthe Spanish Provinces.
With respect to the present letter, we are not per-
fectly convinced of its authenticity, but it comes
fruit% a partisan *of the Spanish 'Kim°, and if the
writer he possessed of any sources of correct intel-
ligence, it maims very little whether the letter
wait. written in America or in Europe. 'lt is unne-
cessary to say, that we totally differ from the sen-
timents expressed by the %triter, as far as they re-
gard the character df the contest ; but we cannot but
approve of the censure expressed in the letter against
the many flippant writers in Europe, who declaim
upon the independence of the Colonies, without
■ny knowledge either of the nature of the quarrel,
or the Probable result of the dispute. We allude
in particular to the writings of the Abbe de _Plum.,
who is well cuaracterised in this letter.

Admiral Sir JostAs Rowzzt is to proceed forth-
with to Ireland, to assume the command on the
Cork 'tattoo, in the place of Admiral iiALLOWELL,
who is appointed to command the squadron ordered
for a two months' crniae in the Channel. All the
Royal Marine Artillery, from Fort Moncton, are
ordered to embark on board the flag-ships. Ply-
mouth will be the general rendezvous.

Viscount Siumoura and Count MUNSTER had
audiences of the PONCE REGENT yesterday.

A very severe contest is now carryino, on at Ox-
ford for the office of Keeper of the Archives of that
University. The candidates are, Mr. Professor
Comte, of Corpus Christi College; Mr. Halms,
Fellow of Exeter College, and one of the Whitehall
Preachers ; and Mr. Buss, Fellow of St. John's
College, well known in the literary world as the
Editor of Wood's Athesom Ozooienses The day of
electi i* fixed fur Thursday, the 21st iust. at
twelve o'clock.

Monday se'unight being the anniversary of the
birth-day of the late heroic Lieutenant-Colonel
VASSACT., of the 38111 font, who fell, mortally
wounded, in the moment of victory, whilst leading
his men at the storming and capture of Monte..
Video, on the ad of February, 1907, au excellent
dinner was given (according to her annual custom)
by Mrs. Stomps, of Bristol, formerly the widow of
this valuable and lamented officer, to the surviving
non-connatissioned officers and privates of the above
corps, bring one hundred and lorty in mum-
her, at Lirriacraft'ir Union lion or Ix Belle
In Lower Broad-street. Plymouth. Tie
large room was fitted op for the occasion, with
emblems allusive to the exploits of this gallant
regiment during a long career of active service.
Over the head of the President was suspended
a transparency, representing the storming of
Monte-Video, amid over the Vice-President liming
another, referring to Salamanca, St. Sebastian,
&e. Numerous wreaths of laurel around reminded
these brave sons of Mars of the distinguished glories
in which they had partaker'. On the removal of
the cloth, the memory of their Colonel was drank,
in Bolcom silence and after many patriotic toasts,
the company retired in the most soldier-like
order to their respective barrack.. We hardly
know which most to admire on this occasion, the
noble feeling that prompted Mrs. STRODE to such
an affectionate remembrance of her former husband,
or the manner in which that feeling was hailed and
honoured I• y his surviving cont pianose'.
Almost every town throughout the Visited King-
dom has felt the genial inflamer of Furtosie's
mars in the last tame.y. In sus Aslvertirement of ittsn's,
we permit ethit his Capitals hire travelled in all dirtclisons,
