The subscription for the relief of the distressed tea•
men continues to go O most prosperously. The Tri.
nity House has subscribed 9.00g5: and the East India
Company 9001. The Marine Society has agreed to
clothe 100 destitute seamen, and quantities of shoes and
stockings have also been received. Of the poor men who
have already been examined by this Committee, more
than :230 have been found seamen, chiefly belonging to
King's ships ; for these a temporary lodging was pre.
vided. So numerous, however, were the applications,
for relief that the Committee at the King's-head, Poul-
try, on Friday, informed the Lord Mayor that farther
accommodation bad become absolutely necessary; they
added that the Master of the London Workhouse could
receive 100 of the applicants, but wanted his lordship's
sanction. His lordship immediately gave the necessary
directions, and recommended to the Committee to afford
temporary• relief to those who could not be accommo-
dated, until the ships destined to receive them should
irrive.

A Meeting was on Wednesday held at Lloyd's Coffee-
house, ter the purpose of entering into a subscription
for the relief of the sufferers by the late destructive fires
in St. John's Newfoundland. A proposition was made
to subscribe .5001. from the Fmnls of the Society ; but
that was negatived by a large majority, on the ground
that the Society's Funds may be burdened from claims
made upon it by sufferers in another quarter, (alluding,
no doubt, to the immense loss of shipping in the late
hurricane in the West Indies). The Members at Lloyd's
however, individually subscribed in a very munificent
manner, to the object for which the Meeting was called
The King of' France received Deputations from the
different Courts of Law, in Paris, offering him their
homage and congratulations on the new year. In the
Chamber of Deputies on the 31 inst. the Committee on
the Budget was completed.
Extract of a letter front Cambray, Dee, 29 :—" Great
festivities have been going terward this Christmas, at
the head-quarters of the British army. The Duke of
Wellington has had his chateau, 12 miles from hence,
crowded with visitors The officers of the rtaff have
performed several dramatic pieces with great effect.—
Mathews. has been out here, and was invited by the
Duke to the chateau : he gave kis Coach Ad.
ventures,' and also his' Actor of all Work,' in a man-
ner highly entertaining. The temporary theatre is
very neatly fitted up. The Duke of Richmond and his
tinnily, wsth several others, were present, and were
highly delighted with the amusements furnished by
their noble host."

A private letter from Paris, Jan. 5, says The
negotiations with the allied Powers have made great
progress since the end of the last month- The Duke
of Wellington, as well as General Woronzofi, have
declared in different circles, that the Allied troops in
France will evacuate the French territory in the month
of the ensuing October. Persons well informed, how.
ever, think, that between that and the present time,
there will arise obstacles which may prevent the com-
plete departure of foreign troops. The affair of the
liquidation of tin claims of the Allied Powers makes
an equal progress. On Saturday last the Commission-
ers of liquidation had entirely terminated the consider-
ation of the Spanish claims. The rise in the publie
funds on Saturday was, in consequence, very sensible?'
We understand that Lord Sidmouth, some days since,
signed warrants for discharging all the remaining State
prisoners, upon their giving their'own recognizance,
to appear to any charge which might be brought against
them next Term ; a condition with which they all
must cheerfully complied, except two London prison-
ers, and a man of the name of Benbow, from Manche!.
ter, who insist upon being brought. to trial, or being di!.
charged without any mark of suspicion attached to their
characters.

The following Circular has been sent to all the Men.

Earl of Liverpool.

Letters froin Vienna state, that Jerome Boonaparto
has demanded permission to proceed to Trieste. This
permission has not been granted, because he had broken
his promise when he was there in 1814.
