THE NATIONAL' S REGISTER.

LONDON:

SUNDAY, APRIL 152, 1818.

TtrE French Papers received during this week are
down to Monday last. "A hey contain little intelligence
,f interest, being chiefly occupied with the. discussions
in the Chain-I)er of Deputies, and the trial for the.
marikr of Fnal ts. The subject that has engaged the
attention of the Charnß.r is the Report on Finance,
as wasfor esecn, has given rise to some violent ha.
.:alzuc.s. There is a sing u1;:r unanimity prevailing on

THE NATIONAL REGISTER.

the subject—all the Gentlemen being of opinion that
the Array of Occupation is a nuisance, which ought
to be removed--to that one point all their orations
tend; there ail the m*:•chief is conceMered—they can
see no other source of evil but that ; and if it 'be rot
withdrawn, they must itievitzbly be ruined. Tais is
the result on which they ali agreed; at the same time,
not one of them bestows a thought upon what is due
to the rest of Europe ; on the cause which placed
them there, and the motives which continue them ;
the past appears to be totally forgotten : but we shail
be much surprised and disappointed if their outcries
should cause the Powers to forget the period when
theseexclaimers anddechtimerspossessed the power to op-
pre::3, and in what mann( r they used it. After several
:lays patient or rather impatient attention (it the
uproar that prevailed, is to be deemed extraordinary in
a French Legislative body) to these declamations, the
Chamber very wisely resolved to put an end to the dis-
cussion, only allowing the reporters their privilege of
reply.
With respect to the :if-fair of Fualdes, .we have only
to observe that the trial of the assassins Is proceeding ;
the matter is so wrapt in intricacy, and so garnished
with mock heroics, that it is not very easy to under-
stand it; and we cannot help expressing our surprise
that in the Courts of Justice of an enlightened nation,
such ridiculous proceedings should be suffered to take
place, as are rf cited in the papers.
Madame Manson is the principal performer, and con-
ducts herself just like a tragedy queen, while the Court
sits quietty by, watching her starts and recording her
ejaculations, which seem to be of more consequence
than her evidence.

It is said in 'the private Letters, that the affiiir of the
liquidations was to be terminated last Tuesday, and
that it was then the intenticaa of the Duke of Wel.
lington to proceed to London. An important Finan-
cial measure was to be proposed to the Chamber of
Deputies last Monday, ",by M. Corvetto, the Minister
of Finance, supposed to relate to the Bank of France.
It is stated that all the attempts of the Allied Powers
to reconcile the Courts of Spain and Portugal have
proved unsuccessful.
The principal domestic occurrence this week is the
introduction of two important measures by the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer, relative to the national cur-
rency. The first postpones the resumption of Cash-pay-
ments by the Bank of England for another yer.r—a cir-
cumstance
we must regret, as we have daily evidence
before us of the dreadful evils resulting from the ex.
tended circulation of small notes. We could have wished
that this postponement had not been deemed necessary,
while we admit that the reasons assigned by Mr.Van-
sittart for it, are every way deserving of consideration.
The other proposition of obliging the issuers of private
notes, under five pounds, to deposit a sufficient security
in the hands of Government, is not a novel suggestion.
We think the regulation excellent, as, without casting
any imputation upon Country Bankers, it must be ob-
vious that misfortunes are liable to occur, which in
these cases, produce extreme •distress among the poor ;
and it is undoubtedly the dety of every Government
to prevent casualties of this description when they can
do so, by such a general and unottieetionable enactment
as that now proposed. We do not apprehend that any se-
rious opposition will be made to it, ncr that any re-
spectable Banker would hesitate in giving it his assent.
If he were a man of humane and generous feelings,. he
would rather rejoice in the idea that the poor would
not be partakers in any calamity that might afterwards
happen to himself. We do not exactly see why its
operations should be deferred for two years—surely. one
would have been amply sufficient for any arrangements
that may be required.
It will be seen by our Parliamentary Report, that
the Chancellor of the Exchequer has totally disavowed
all intentira of introducing Stock lichentures, as re-
perted. The debates of next week will, we have no
doubt, be highly ;ford Lauderdale has a
motion on Financial Affairs for Tilursday, and Mr.
Tierney fir Friday, when these propositions will be
fully discussed.

Since writing the above, Paris Papers of Tuesday and
Wednesday hir,t have been rcceiv.:d. The discussions
in the Chamber of Deputies On the t;th and 7th are not
very interesting. Or the latter Ct.:7, M. ItDy and M.

'A FRU, 12

Beugnot male their replies to the arguments of the dif-
ferent speakers who had participated in the debates
upon the Budget. ; but no new information was afford-
ed. There is yet a long inquiry to institute into the
different articles of the Law, and the various amend-
ments that have been proposed, the latter amounting to
above a hundred. The first and second articles were
adopted in the sitting, of Tuesday. Thirty-seven still
remain to Le disposed of.

A Cabinet Council was held on Friday at the Fo-
reign Office, at two o'clock, which was attended by the
Earl of Westmoreland, the Earl of Liverpool, Earl Ba-
thurst, Earl Mu'grave, Viscount Sidrnouth, Viscount
Castlereagh, Viscount • Melville, the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, Mr. Canning, Mr: Robinson, and Mr. B,
Bathurst. The Council .sat till near four o'clock.

An interesting explauation was given in the House
of Commons, by Mr. Cannio,T, respecting the war in
India. Mr. Howorth, put some questions to the Right
Hon. Gentleman, founded exclusively- upon the intelii.
genc.e which had been received through the Bombay
Gazettes; and Mr. Canning -.:tated, it was undoubtediy
true, that two, actions had been fought with the Nish-
wa's troops, and il!at in both, the tbrecs of the East
India Company had been successful against superior
numbers; but, it v•as, happily, not true., that the
slaughter w:,s proportionate to the disparity of the
force of the conflicting.,parties Government was not
yet in posse. ion pi' the usual returns, but, as fir its he
was intbrined, it did not i,ppea..7 that those conflicts had
cost the life of a single Eurepe.;:n Glace:, and that nut
more thon three Officers were wounded.

It isg~ntr lly reported at the. 2ar, that Sir V.Gibbs,
the Chief Justice of the Court of Cortrnon Plecs, will
immediately resign his judicial :,eat, which is to be oc-
cupied by Sir R. Gifford, the present Solicitor Gene-
ral. Mr. Wetherell and Mr. Setjeant Copley arc each
mentioned as his successor in office, br.t it is supposed
that the latter Learned Gentleman• will be the person.
The appointment of the Duke of Richmond to the
offices of Captain General and Governoro; C.:nada and
its dependences, will excite some stirprire, since these
are inferior to one he held with so much credit in Ire-
land. Sir J. Sherbroke, the late Governor General,
comes home is consequence of indisposition. The gal-
lant General hat suffered a paralytic stroke. Sir I'.
Maitland, son-in-law to the Duke of Richmond, goes
out as Governor of Upper Canada.
PARIS, APRIL 3.—The bell, giverk• 1:7 the Duke of
Wellington, yesterday, was, beyond contradintion, one
of the most b.illiant, that has been seen, for a long
time. Their Royal highnesses, Monsieur, Madame,
the Duke of Angouleme, the Duke of Lerry, the Dowa-
ger Duchess of Orleans, the Duke, the Ditthess and
Mademoiselle D7Orlean-, the Ministers, the ixinhassa-
dors and all the most distinguished personages of the
Court and capital were FeFent at it. The ball was con-
tinued to a very late hoar. Their Royal and Serene
Highnesses remained till two in the morning. M.
Comte, whose magic had been called into service, for
this fete, gave new instances of it, with the il-
lustrious company were much amused.

A letter from Sierra 'Acre, dated January 25,
forms us, that the Expedition for the d:szorery of the
interior of Africa was then in the river Gambia, and
was not likely to sail this Beason, as the rains woold
soon commence. The command had devolved upon
Lieutenant Gray, of the Royal African Ccros. Forty
thousand pounds are supposed to have been expended
upon this hitherto fruitless, though meritorious, expedi.
Lion. Captain • Hagan, of the Colonial brig, has sent
in two vessels, found with slaves on hoard. Ile had
also ca:Lorcd two other vessels, one French, the other
Americ:tn—the latter fur endeavouring to smuggle to.
bacco into the colony.

The authorized stmements of the revenue have ap-
peared. The thlkuving is the I,cliedule of the compara-
tive roduee of this alid the correspondiug q:4;:ter of

There is not much to remark upon in this aecouut

it appears that cur rev,atie aro, in the quarttT just •ex-
pired, better than those of the correspor.ding tquarter,
by ulpw•ards of 760,0091. The excise, customs, stamps,
assessed taxes, rind land tax for the present necrter, all
exceed those of the same quarter is last year. The lost•
office and miscellaneous are inferior.

then leave it. It was not till Friday that Captain Sir
John Ross left the Exchange I lute], in the Strand.
