The trade of our island is very brisk. Several
merchants from Austrian ports have settled here.
Marseilles and Genoa carry ou a profitable coin-
MtfCe here. From London we receive large cargoes
of indigo, sugar, &c. and we send in return oil and
other produce. The establishment of a public

COPENHAGEN, APRIL 10.

The many applications fur loans of money which
have been made at•the end and the beginning of
this year to the Finance Department, chiefly by
land owners, have sufficiently shewn (exclusively
of many other circumstances) how necessary it is
that by the approaching llth of June a fund should
hr formed, from which owners of large or small
estates, as well us inhabitants of towns, may
obtain loans. Ills Majesty the King hue there-
fore ordered, by a decree of the Sit of April, that
a part of the loon lately negotiated in Ilamburgh,
for account of the Royal Treasury, shall be set
apart fur bnch a fund. from which loans will be
granted, hut only upon unexceptionable security ;
the interest in 5 per cent. A Iliographic.d Me-
moir of the late M. A. Von Kotzebue, by Orst, is
advertised us ready for publication. Our Papers
are filled with articles respecting him.

LONDON,
MONDAY. Apart. 2G, isw.

IVs have received Paris Payers of Weallll4s
and Thursday lost, from which we have made
severs! extracts. 'Ole first pr‘,/,t do ki rcla.ive to
the Liberty of the Press has brim boally adopted
by the Chamber of D.puties, a th various alters-
lions owl iiiiiendno-iits. It sill be remembered
that on Monday, when the discussion was ad-
jourtied, the Chamber bad advanced so far as to the
20:11 article. The discussion on this article finally
closed by s resolution declaratory of the freedom of
the Press in the publication of all speeches. reports,
and other documents delivered in either Chamber.
An attempt was made to exempt Members of the
two Chambers from all responsibility attending the
publicotimi of their opinions, but this ass forcibly
combatted and wisely refused. In the sitting of
Wednesday, a further tolditton ass given to the
Liberty of the Press ; fur, by a resolution then
adopted slaiost unanimously, it was declared that
all bunalide reports of proceedings in the Chaittlwr
of Deputies, although lint couched iii the precise
words used by the Members, should be 'wrinkled.
By this article a marked difrerton e will he drawn
between the state of the Press in this most im-
portant point, as it exists in Great Britain aiid iu
France; fur with us the publication of the debates in
Parliament is permitted but by the suffeialice of
either Douse, while io Fiance it will he expres•ly
sanctioned by the Act of the Legislature. Tile
Law, taken altogether, ass finally adopted by
143 against 58. That the number of the inmority
should be so considerable is more remarkable front
this circumstance, that hardly a voice was heard
the debate against the principle of the messuie.
The Cute druit, indeed, abstained most religiously
from engaging in the discussion, although it is
evi-
dent from the number of the minority that they
felt culisiderable interest in the result. We do nut
care to know tie motives to such a proceeding, but
should it occur in this country, it would be cutest-
tiered as a very insidious mode of actin;;.
