By news from Laybach, dated the 28th instant, it appears
that the conterruce with the Duke de Gallo has been again

the Grand Duke of Bade., Laval Nugent, and Ismail* (in-
fantry), have just received marching orders ; they will pro-
ceed to Clagenfurt, which is the central point for all the
depots and reilaurcentrots of our military force in Italy.
These four regiments are in the must complete order, and
the strength of the uew troop may be estimated at more
than 10,800 men.

LONDON.
saTkricpAy, Ftypty/Ar W, API*

The very important subject of the Foreign
Timber Trade of the country was loot night noticed
in the House of Commons by Mr. ELLIce, for the
purpose of endeavouriog to obtain from hip No.
jesty's MiNiiners some intimation yrherher they lutve
as yet honied any opinion ropecting the course of
prsperediug !which they may think it advisable to
propose to Parliameut for its future regulation.
The Hon. Member, however, proposed his question
in vain, for the Ministers enjoy as happy a state of
uncertainty upon this subject as they do upon
various other points of national concern, which
since the meeting of Parliament have beat pub-
licly noticed. Mr. WALLACI indeed hinted,
4, without any authority, but Malay
impressions," that it might, uuder certain circuits•
stances, be found convenient to reconstnend the
coutinuation of the present laws until Aply. The
?Merchants connected with the Timber Trade have
already suffered very great inconvenience from the
state of suspense in which they have been kept with
respect to the intentions of the Ministers.
We are sorry to state, that the indisposition of
the Marquis of LANIDOWN prevented the House
of Lords last night from entering into the pro-
mised discussiou upon the Foreign Trade of the
EMpire.
The Navy and Ordnance Estimates were laid last
night upon the table of the House of Commons.
The sccounti laid before Parliament of the
11 weekly amount of Bank of England notes in circu-
lation between the 18th of July, 1820, and the 6th
of February, 1821, represent, that on the 18th of
July the total sum was 0,043,380/. ; on the 12th
of December, 26,788,4601. ; and on February 6,
1821, 23,563,6801. The highest amount of nobs
in circulation during the period was on the 18th of
July, and the lowest on the 12th of December.
This statement, we think, calls for some public
'notice.

When Parliament resolved, in the Session of
1819, that the Bank should address itself to pre-
paring the n►eans for returning within the peritd
pres:ribed to the payment or its notes in cash,
■ considerable length of time was granted fir the
avowed purpose of enabling the Directors, in con-
currence with the wishes of the Government, to
effect this great national object by u blow and gra-
dual progress, in the hope of thereby obviating
many of the evils which must uecessarily result from
a rapid ■ud sudden reduction of the circulating
medium. The operation was necessarily confided
to the discretion, and also to the patriotism of the
Directors, and we are fully convince 4. that the
trust could not be reposed in men of more strict
integrity or of sounder principles of honour ; but
it is very possible that, not having originally con-
curred in approving the measure enacted by Par-
Wawa, sad feeling apprehensive of us effects, not
only upon the interests of the Corporation, which
they are bound especially to protect, but also upon
the well-being of the Stitt., their subsequent pro-
ceedings might not have been adopted in perfect
accordance With the sentimet►ts entertained by the
Legislature. When the measure suggested by the
two Committees was under consideration in the
Session of 1819, no attempt was made by any of
those who advocated its expediency to conceal from
the public that the good it contemplated was to be
purchased by a certain evil, and by public uteri-
flees to even a considerable extent; but it was also
hoped that this evil might, in a great measure, bets-
viated, and the dreaded sacrifices beneficially reduc-
ed, by the ;node of leading the plan to perfection.
With the Bank of England it rested to regulate •
the amount of the circulating medium of the coun-
try, and as the danger apprehended vies to arise
from a reduction therein, it was hoped that the
Bank would not limit its issues more than the strict
necessity of its affeirs should require. In July last
gold was at the mint price of 31. 176. 10Id.
ounce, and at the same time the issues of the Bank
amounted to 46,043 3801. ; uo necessity therefore
seemed to exist of reducing the issues to itny lower
'mount, yet we find that iu the December follow-
ing, within the short space of six months, the issues
did not exceed 40,7841,4601. being ts difference of
mere than 5,000,0001. or a.fifth iportiot the entire
peepers of the circulating asediw at its Ayt4r.t
amount. We ire aware that its this statement the
