LON DON,
FRIDAY. JUNE 5, 1818.

We hare received Paris Papers of Monday lust.
Although they contain no additional information
respecting the progress of the loan, they are so far
important as they confirm the intelligence coin-
municated by those of the preceding day. It is
therefore certain, that the subscriptions to thl
loan for the service of the year, by French cap..;
talists, has been so great, that the Government II:
France has declined receiving any of the proposals
sent into the Minister of Finance by foreigners.
In this determination we cannot but fee( a very
lively interest ; not, as some may imagine, hecanse
British capital has possibly been disappointed
a market, but because it *hews the utter fu:dity
of the arguments advanced some days since by
Ministers, in support of the contiourioce of
their paper system, and proves incontestably that
the circumstances preventing the immediate re-
sumption of cash payments by the Bank of E:l4-
land do not arise out of the financial embarrassments
of the French or any other foreign Government.
The immediate prorogation of Parliament is there-
fore much to be lamented—for if the two Ilim,es
were to sit a fortnight longer, it is impossible to
believe, that, with this fact before their eyes, they
would omit passing an Act to obviate, in sonic de-
gree, the error into which they have so inconsider-
ately fallen. With regard to the policy of this
refusal on the part of the French Government,
opinions nosy differ considerably. It cannot be de-
nied that it would be very touch the interest of
France, that among similar proposals for contri-
buting the loan, the Government should prefer those
of foreigners. Such a preference would, on ordi-
nary occioionr, he attended with two advantages—
one, that the capital of the country would be there-
by increased—the other, that it would prevent the
existing capital of the country from being divertel
unprofitably from being employed in promoting use-
ful industry. Thiz question, however, must be consi-
dered in reference to the peculiar circumstances or
the Goverotnent of France, and not to those getierA
principles which, in ordinary cases, should inflnei
the atEnrs of States. The security of a Govem-
went must undoubtedly be considerably increased
by being associated with the interests of the larg,st
possible numbers of its subjects, and by pruvhg
that it enjoys the fullest confidence of those b‘lop,
from their condition in life, are best able to esti-
mate its stability. This object is übtaioed by the
French Government in the present ia,tance, aril
the importance of such an attainment is too great
to admit a question on the propriety of par: iing
even though attended with the sacrifice of ot!,cl
consideiable advantages.

It would seem, by an article of inteiiigetice con-
tained in the Gazette de trance, that the rt 1.0441 or
Parliament to grant the proposed sum to the Dui: •
of CLARENCZ, has not hsd the effect of preventn.:
his Royal Highness from completing
intention of uniting himself in tmsrrizinge t, the
Princess ADEL...IDS of 31einingen. It is as,ertti.l

•

. -

that the Princes ail! set oot for this could, v n, the
courre of the present month, accompailied by the
Ditches hrr mother. This intelligence contradicts
the injurious iinpressiolut which had ilflarlb by
cation from the speeches of MinArs, that his'
Royal Highness had been induced to cultivate this
alliance with a view solely to pectin ry advantages.
We have received New York Amu to the 6th
'alt. The Commissioners appointed to report on
The lama mate of S. nth America hid arrived in
the It►ver Plate. Their arrival occasioned great.
logs amongst the losurvits. Accounts had
;men received at Buenos Ayres. that on tl% 12th
ut February the Government or Chili haVmade a
.solemn declaration of independence. Thew armies
.re stated to be greatlY augmented. A letter re-
ceived from Valparaiso, dated the Gtl,o February,
mentions that the American vessel the Memel° had
entered that port, notwithstanding the blockade
proclaimed by the Royalist Commander. The
Capta►n of his Majesty's ship Amphioo ha.l iu con-
sequence made* public statement, tliut he con*itier-
ed the blockade null and void, on account of the
Spanish Government hiving allowed the Mortician
to enter the port.
The National Intelligence?, of the 3 Auld,.
contains a Proclamation which shins the on.
derstanding that exists between Great in and
the United States. The Proclamation is dated
Washington, 28th April, 1818. The substance is
the carrying into effect the Treaty of 1817, with
respect to the naval force upon the Lake% The
Treaty stipulated that—

u The naval form to be maintained upon the American
Lakes by his Majesty and the Government of the United
States shall henceforth be confined to the tollow►ng *easels
on each side:

" On Lake Ontario one vessel, nut exceeding 100 tons
burden, and out 18-pound cannon.
Ou the Upper Lakes two •easels, each not exceeding
like burden, sad armed with like force.

" Ou Lake Champ!eine one vent!, not exceeding like
burden, sled anned with like (*wee.

" All other atoned vessels 011 these Lakes shall be forth-
with dismantled, and no other vessel aball be built or
armed."

The latter part of the Proclamation contains the
approval of these btipulationv, and the announce-
ment of their bring filially carried into effect.

EstIGRATION.—On Tuesday morning the 'viten-
tils of the inhabitants of Pens ith was attracted by
the appearance of a large waggon, stupendously
laden with household furniture, &c. and with
women and childreu; by the side of which walked
a number of men—the whole comprising several
families, who were proceeding from Alston to
Liverpool, there to take shipping for America. The
sight of nearly eighty of our fellow-countrymen,
compelled, by the privations atteisdaut oleo remorse-
less system of profuseness and taxation, to bid adieu
fur ever to the land of our fathers, could not fail to
croakers in the breasts of the spectators sympathetic
emotions. ()is this eve of a General Election, such
un occurrence ought .to powerfullyinffnesice the
tetleeting electors. to return to Parliament men on
whom they can place dependence for a sincere de-
sire to retrieve the affairs of this once happy coon-
try.—(irre Mercury.)
