rector of the Bank of France. died the day Wore.

An article dated Basle, Deceinhcr 16. sa)s.
a We can with perfect certainty contradict the re-
poi t of the speedy departure of the Austrian troor.
which constitute a part of the Army of Occur'lion.
There is no p►eparation that announces any such
measure."

An ariiele dated Brussels, the 3lst December,
says—,' A letter from Head-quarters at Caruhray,
states, that notwithstanding the report spread its

England itself, that the Army of Occupation will
be withdruwn from France in Spring, the writer
is competent to contradict this news; as evidenci
of which, the Danish, Hanoverian, and Saxon con-
tingents, will receive, at that very time, the omit-
her of men necessary to complete them."
A letter from Liege states, that for some time a
great number of writings have been circulated iii
that city, directed against his Holiness and the
Bishop of Nlslines, and in which the Government
is not respected. Domiciliary visits hare been made
among the suspected persons, and an Ecclesiastic,
on whom a bundle of those writings was round, was
arrested, but he has been able to effect his escape.
The Committee on the Budget was completed
yesterday in the Chamber of Deputies.
The Report on the projet of the law for the re-
cr ' ' g of the army will be received to-morrow.

rears that Aury and bis partyculsured crrw
have at length got the upper hand in the late
struggle, and have succeeded iu driving the Ame-
ricans from power, and as they „ill doubtless re-
ceive reinforcements of blacks, it will be necessary
to keep a watchful eye on their movements from
the southern States. It is earnestly desired that
Congress will take the subject of the Florida. into
consideration at an early period, and take such
measures as may insure the adoption of a line of
conduct more I usable and judicious than the
nae now pursued by the deliverers of that section
of the country.

lIAVANNAII, NOV. 14.
Further accounts from Milledgeville strengthen
the report of an adjournment of the Legislature or
thin State to March next. A Gentleman, just ar-
rived, states that much sickness prevailed among
the Members, many were extremely ill.

This day we giire a continuation of the list of
subscribers to the Monument to the memory of
the late-lamented Princess CUACLOTTE. From the
great extent of the list, it may be justly designated
a nation's tribute. The high and the low. the sicb
and the poor. are alike eager to contribute to it,
as if terry one felt a personal consolation in being
part of the means by which that truly notitual
structure will be meted. There is no ostentation
in this act of reverence. The smallness of the sum
precludes that rivalry of wealth. which might other-
wise indicate the opulence rather than the 'reitera-
tion of the country.

Yesterday a Courts of Director, .was held at the
Fart India House, when the following Captains

TA. Saw of last evening states, that the charge
on Ilse Consolidated Fund for the quarter elided
the sth of January, 18 18, was 13a0U.000i. ; to
winch we add, that the receipt amounted only to
31,914,375/.
We understand that Lord SIDINOUTR, some days
since, signed warrants for discharging all the re.
maiuiug Stare Prisoners, upon their giving their
own recognizance., to appear to soy charge which
might be lirought against them next Terns—a con-
/111min with which they all most cheerfully com-
plied, except two London Prisoners, and • mau of
the name or BENROW, from Manchester.
We are assured that his Royal Highness the
PRIXCN IteueNT has it in immediate contemplation
to institute a Welsh Order, •lar to those of St.
Andrew and St. Patrick, consisting of twelve
Knights Companions, besides the Sovereign.—
We hope in a few days to be aisle to lay be.
fore our residers an accurate bet of the distin-
guished personages on whom this new dignity is to
be conferred. The Installation will iiruhably take
place on tie Ist of March, being the fest:vtil of St.
David, the tutelary Saint of Wales. It is a sissgm.
par coinoidence, that at the time of the death of her
lamented son, the Duke of Geoucs.rrea, Queen
ANNE was occupied in the arrangement t.f a similar
Order. The intention, front what came we have
heels unable to learn, was subsequently allandoited ;

The suppression of the Opposition Journal at

'rhe ship Seneca, Capt. CLARICE, arrived at New
York on the lit ult. from CIIIIiOII. She touched
at St. Helena nu the 25th October, for supplies and
water. The 'English corset Friendship suede the
island at the same time. Provisions were unmas-
k), scarce and dear; the crews of the vessels
stationed at the island had for manly months been
living on salt provisions. The Conqueror, 7i, the
sloop Racoon, brig Leveret, and nine small trans-
port slips, were the only vessels there. Things

till' there had been nine shocks of ass earthquake

hut the account brought by the Palladian of its

This splendid Theatre was opened last night.to
• select company, for the purpose of trying the
effect of the new mode in Which it is lighted with
gas. The scene was also rendered greatly attractive.
by the rehearsal of the opera of the Marriage of
Figaro. and the introduction of one of the great
novelties of the ensuing season, in the person of

Lady, who is a pupil of Madame CATALAN', bills
fair to rival het mistress in brilliancy of execution.
She possesses a tine clear voice, of great complies,
embellished with taste and science. The amateurs
snit cognoscenti. of whom there was a large as-
semblage., were delighted with her performance.
Signora Coital is of middle size. well proportioned.
Her countenance is oval, with flue lane eyes.
and its expression mild nod interesting. Madame
Forms. Signor NALDI, and other favourite+.
heightened the pleasures of the night, and appear-
ed in high health and spirits. The cut glass lustre
with which the house is illuminated, is suspended
at a short distance from the centre of the ceiling.
It is in the shape of a bell, with two rows of
lights, one round the lower and greatest circum-
ference. and the other parallel to it, but of
smaller diameter above. the two rows comprise
160 lights, and the lustre consists of upwards of 4,000
pieces of cut glass. The sun's face is seen in the
centre, and nothing can be more splendid than the
rays of light diffused around it. This beilliant
orb, glittering with thousands of rays of light,.re-
fiecterl and refracted in thatisoods of directions
presents in itself a galaxy of stars. From the
expense to which the Manager has gone to
improve this Temple of Fashion. and the taste
sod judgment with which that esperise has been
laid out. we may eoufideutly anticipate an increase
of public patronage even superior to the last WC•
cowgirl semen.

the exemplification of the sentiment. the feigned
