The Director-General of the affairs of the Roman Catholic
Church has, in • despatch of the 4th instant, signified to the Arch-
bishop of life.blin the King's displeasure, because that Prelate
had received by an unusual coonnel, and had not communicated to
the Government, a lettur signed Marro, in which it is attempted
to cache disobedience and opposition to his 31aji.xty"s resolutions,
and the More so as this letter is an encroachment on the rights of '
the Bishops of the Kingdom, wires alone are authorised to govern
that Churches, and the power of the Pope cannot interfere, with-
out violating the liberties of the Church of the Netherlands ; that
this has always been so understood, and specially in 1767, when a
certain declaration from Room relative to a marriage of the .Marquis
Chasteler to the widow tieelvink, of Amsterdam, was declared
au:land void ; that his Majesy intends to abide by this system, and
therefore moat anxiously warns his Grace not to make any use
whatever of the said letter, or of any others relative to the same
subject, that be may not expose himself toady serious consequences.
At the same time the Director-General signifies to the Arch.
bishop his Majesty's displeasure at the publication of a certain
letter written by him to th. Governor of Antwerp, and without dis.
pu•ing the statements which it contains, exhorts his Grace to re.
no • from him those persons through whom the peace has probably
become known, and who thus abu-e his Grace's confidence, safing
the researches of justice to discover the permits in question.

The course of exchange has fallen. because we hive no orders
from abroad, and consequently few Mils are drawn. The gayety
of money and the commercialcrists in Europe, particularly Eng.
hod, our princm.ti market, has of course caused the demand for
sae goods to be more tardy ; but the last letters from London give
o. mutat to hope that things will soon return to their natural order.
Oo• goods will again ',lnclosed from abroad, and the delay will
