Bausscis, Aram E.
A Brussels Journal contains the following article:—
betters from Amsterdam inform us, that the agents of four great
banking-houses, one at Berlin, the second at Amsterdam. and the
two others at London, are treating with King Ferdinand for a new
Loan, and the stipulations which they have made for the recogni-
lion of the Loans of the Cortes have been supported by the ta.
direct influence of the French Ministry. It seems certain, how.
ever, that the Spanish Government will not recognise in direct
terms the Loans of the Cortes, but that in • :ertido degree fluff
will be so in fact by the contractors, the King having consented to
give them an opportunity to comprehend the Lout of the Cortes its
this new Loan. M. de Villyle, it is said, hat employed all his in-
fluence with Ferdinand fur this purpose, and the Marquis de
Talaiu, who had orders to protest, in the name of the Allied
Powers, against every act which might be considered as a national
bankruptcy, not having made sufficiently urgent remonstrances, it
has been resolved, that he shall be recalli:d, and that a new Am.
biased°, shall be sent to Madrid. If on the other hand wepaz
believe the Quotidknme, letters front Madrid of the nth .
tively state, that the King. after consulting the Council, has de-
cided that the Loan of the Cortes is definitively declared null
and void.

GENEVA., MARCH 24.
A decree of the Council of State has ju►t ordered the seizure of
• work called The New C'orefiseion, which was on the eve of pub-
lication by one of our booksellers. By the same decree the
bookseller is to be proceeded against for having lightly touched
the forbidden fruit of foreign politics. The work is ascribed to
a young Frenchman, of the name of Syon. Tbi• is the first
application of the new measures adopted in consequence of the
resolutions of the Diet relative to the press. It is obserred,that
various circumstances having caused the MS. of this work to fall
into the hands of the Austrian police in Lombardy, it was re-
turned to the author, after having been kept some days for ex-
amination.

SWITZERLAND, MARCH SI.

Wheillied on the 15th by an avalanche. M. Schemerde; Bailer
of Itoveredo, and a guide. perished. The otter passengers, twelve
in number, the tao guides, and the horses, were fortunately ea.
vitiated.

A AISTERDAPI, APRIL lU.—Exchange on London, 39 A; TllO
months, 39 2.

Private accounts from the Crimea state, that the Scotch
Nlissionary Carruthers, now settled there, proceeds with
the greatest zeal and success in converting the Tartan to
Christianity. A great numb:r of them have been bap-
tized by him. Colonies arc to be established for these
converts, and divine service will be performed in the Tartar
language. A Turkish shirk and learned man is now re-
ceiving an education to qualify hart for the office of Chris-
tian priest.

The Bill before the House of Commons fbr amending
the Act respecting the British Museum, adds the Presi-
dent of the Society of Antiquaries, and the President of
the Royal Academy, to the number of the official Trus-
tee:, and gives power to the Trustees to purchase and take.
lands.

hil9/11 SECRETARYSHIP.—A report has been current for-
the last few days, that Mr. Goulburn retires from the Irish
Snretaryship, and either takes the place of Mr. Lushing-
ton, at the Treasury, or goes abroad on some splendid ap-
pointtnent. It is added, that Mr. Frankland Lewis, a gen-
tleman well known in Parliament and to the public, as a
Commissioner of Inquiry, takes the office of Mr. Goulbura.
We certainly should be well pleaszil at this arrangement.
Independent of Mr. Lewis's paiticr, which are liberal, and
which, certainly, would not be to us and to the country
the least of his recommendations, he is a man that is tho-
roughly acquainted with the Irish system. He knows too,
perfectly well, the workin,ls of the Corporation against the
rights and privileges of the city of Dublin. and will not
lend himself to their objects. 'With Mr. F. Lewis as Se-
cretary, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer as Member
for the city, we might reasonably expect that justice will be'
done us at last.—Didblis Erenifie Pest.
