London :
MONDAY, APRIL V.

A Committee to examine the method of keeping the
public accounts was moved fur on Thursday evening,
and being granted was nominated by the Chancellor
of the Exchequer.—On no subject is enquiry more
needed—on none reform more wanted ; but we arc
not sanguine as to the result of the labours of the
Committee in question—the very aim of Ministers
all along has been to mystify, because an absence of
perspicuity threw obstacles in the way of those who
wished to detect impositions, and theretioe little
good can or ought to be expected from a Commit-
tee in which, being nominated by the Chancellor of
the Exchequer, be has doubtless taken care to secure
a majority in favour of the views of himself and his
colleagues—nevertheless good may ariae from an ex-
poaition Of Sose evils, the removal of which is pre-
vented by the in;erposi►ion of those who derive emo-
lument and influence by their continut.oce.

His Majesty will certainly go to the Continent
this summer, and will visit Colot,m, Bonn, Cob-
lentz, there cross the Rhine to inspect the almost
impregnable fortress of Eltrenbreitstein, Jouannis-
burg, the seat of I'rince Metternich, Wiesbaden,
Frankfurt (and in that neighbourhood continue a
day or two with his sister the Princess of Hesse
Homburg), Darmstadt, Manheim, Heidelburg (to
see the great tun), Ludwigsburgli, Stutgard (where
with the Queen Dowager of Wurtcmburg, late
I'rincess Royal of England, he will remain some
time, not having seen her since she left her home);


from thence to Ulm, cross the Danube, and piss
through Augsburg to Munich, afterwards over the
plain of Holtenlinden to l'assau, or go at once to
Regensburg, to visit the father of the Princess
Esterhazy, and there embark on the " Dark rolling
Danube" for Vienna. It is said his Majesty has
expressed a wish to stop at the fine city of Lentz,
also at the noble Convent at Moll:, of which a cor-
rect description is given by Dibdin in his Biogra-
phical and Picturesque 'four ; also to inspect the
fine ruin in which the. lion hearted Itichattl was
confined. The Marquess of Hastings, who is on his
return from his government in India, has been ap-
pointed ambassador to Austria; he does not come
here, but is expected to meet the King of England
at Vienna. The sports and pastimes in preparation
by the Emperor of Austria. are reported to be on a
scale of uncommon tibgnificence ; all the petty
Princes and inferior Kings in Germany will assist
at these banquets. His Majesty has promised to
visit the Principality of Esterhuzy, in Hungary,
and return by way of Prague, Toplitz, and Dres-
den. Should the state of the road permit, he will
go from thence to Berlin, and take Hanover on his
way home. Paris is included in the tour, but in
what stage of it is not yet determined.

The Paris papers of Wednesday last have arrived,
the foilowing arc extracts :
PARIi, APRIL i 6.—A report has spread that dis-
orders have broken out at Nanci,in which a regiment
of cavalry and a regiment of infantry garrisoned
there took part on different sides. It does not, how-
ever, appear that politics was the cause. We shall
hereafter give the details which may reach us on
this subject.
Statements have been for some days in circulation
respecting the quarrels whi,:h took place at Befort,
between the young recruits and the soldiers of the
garrison. These accounts require confirmation, the --
more as they have not been mentioned in any journal.
To-day, at four o'clock, the English journal, the
Morning Chronicle, was seized in all the public
places of this city. Nu. 12 of this liberal journal
contains, it is said, a revolutionary song, in French,
addressed to the soldiers who form the cordon of
health at the foot of the Pyrenees. Tt is to be pre-
sumed that the French Ambassador at London will
have maintained on this occasion the honour of his
Government in a manner worthy of his noble cha-
racter.

Hamburgh papers to tl:c 12th inst have arrived.
They contain the snpplement to the Russian tariff,
which is not to be in operation till the first of May,
(0.5.) and all mercantile transactions previous to
that period are to be regulated by the present tariff.
According to the new supplement the following
articles are to be prohibited :—All white, green, and
black cloths, refined sugar and lumps, silk manufac-
tures, jewellery, and several articles of steel.—The
import duty on other articles, for instance, wines,
will be raised probably 30 per cent. The tenor of
the supplement, if correctly described, will be inju-
rious to our woollen and other manufactures ; but
the commercial policy of Russia and other foreign
countries, is evidently fbunded in principle on the
former non-importunt decrees of Buonaparte• The
accounts from Russia in the Hamburgh papers have
general been anticipated by the Paris journals.—
They are still warlike, but are not supported by any
satisfactory authority. They swell the Russian
forces to an overwhelming size on the l'ruth, as they,
are stated at 20,000 dragoons, and a park of AO
pieces of cannon, besides a second army in Podolia.
do not believe that Rus.sia has the finances to
lut half the number in motion.

There is no trutliwhateC,er in the report that
Quiroga and Ricgo bad been assassinated at Madrid.
It has arisen out of a clumsy fabrication got up in
Paris, which contained the very extraordinary addi-
tion, that, in consequence of that catastrophe, the
popalace of Madrid has risen, and put to death, not
only the whole of the royal family, but the members
of the Cortes, not one of whom survived the fury of
the multitude. The date assigned for the alarming
event at Madrid was the 30th ult. FLul there been
the smallest foundation for it, we should have known
it some time ago, as intelligence is frequently con-
veyed by expres4 from Madrid to Loudon in seven
days.

TIM KING'S LEVCE.—On Friday his Majesty
held a levee at Carlton-house, which was attended
by the Cabinet Ministers, the Foreign Ambassadors,
the speaker of the House of Commons, the Lord
Mayor and Sheriffs of the City of London, a great
number of Noblemen and Gentlemen, and several
Military and Naval Officers. In the Presence
Chamber the King sat on his throne, supported by
his Royal Highness the Duke of York and the Duke
of Wellington. Among the presentations were the
French Ambassador, Viscount Chateaubriand, and
other distinguished characters. Military bands
played popular airs during the arrival and departure
of the company, and numbers were assembled in
consequence of the favourable weather, in front of
the Palace, front the commencement until the con-
clusion of the levee. His Majesty after the levee
gave audience to the Marquis of Londonderry and
Lord Liverpool.
GIBRALTAR, NIARCII 29.—The Board of Health
of the island of :Minorca, have published an account
of their proceedings during the prevalence of the
yellow fever in the Lazaretto of Mahon. It appears
that 176 persons front 43 infected ships had entered
the infirmaries, out of which number 22 had died.
Through the precautionary measures taken by the
Board of Health, Port Mahon and the whole island
continued to enjoy perfect salubrity, although the
Feat of contagion and death was not 200 yards front
t :a town.

flootixo-Couon.—Dr. Archer, an American
physician, says, relative to the cure of the hooping-
cough by vaccination, " I have vaccined six or
eight patients that had the hooping-cough, and in
every case has succeeded in curing this most dis-
tressing disease. The hooping-cough does not come
to its height in led. than six weeks from its com-
mencement, and then, when a favourable termina-
tion is expected, the declension of the disease is gra-
doal, and it does not terminate in less than six
weeks more. To arrest this afflicting disorder in its
progress, I would recommend vaccination in the
second or third week of the hooping-cough, i. e.
when the symptoms of the hooping-cotigh are fully
ascertained, then to vaccinate. Should the convul-
sive cough be violent, I should immediately vacci-
nate, being assured that the distressing symptoms of
the hooping•cough arc checked by vaccine disease.
The termination of the vaccine disease will be the
termination of the hoping-cough."
On Friday morning, at ten o'clock, the mortal
remains of Sir N. Conant were removed from his
residence in Portland Place with all due ceremony,
and were most respectably attended. The proces-
sion moved slowly on, along the New-road towards
Finchley, where, on its arrival, the remains of the
deceased were deposited in the family vault, where
the remains of the deceased's lady were also con-
signed. The ceremony was conducted with the
greatest solemnity.
An official return to an order of the House of
Commons of the establishment tier the collection of
the Customs in Ireland, states the annual amount of
salaries at the port of Dublin at 64,5551. is. 10d.;
this includes five Commissioners, whose total salary
is .5,13001.; one of these offices, annual salary 1,0001.
is now vacant. A like return for Englund, fi,r the
port of London, includes nine Commissioners at
1,4001. a year each, with 6001. additional to the
Chairman, and 3001. additional to the Deputy
Chairman.

Within the last 30 years it is calculated. that in
Lincolnshire alone upwards of 300,000 acres of
heath, woods, and fen lands, have been converted
into arable.

A Charity Sermon was delivered in the Methodist
Chapel, Rotherham, by Troop Serjeant Major T.
Riley, of Capt. Smith's troop, 7th Dragoon Guards,
on Sunday evening. tOr the benefit of the Sabbath
School, connected with that place of worship. The
preacher (an Hibernian), who was decorated in the
rich costume of his regiment, selected his motto front
the Ist Epistle of St. John, 4th ch. 19th verm...--" "c
love Aim, because lie first loved us;" and, in the
course of his address, very powerfully advocated the
necessity of imparting instruction to the minds of
the rising generation, and the advantage of early
piety, which he successfully pleaded with much haw
and propriety. On the termination of his discourse,
which was heard with much attention, and produc-
tive of great satisfaction, the contributions produced
upwards of titenly-six pounds.
Tribute to the Aleatory of Charles Dibdin, Esq.—
On Thursday evening last a party of gentlemen met
at the house of Mr. Oxberry, the comedian, the
Craven Head, Drury-lane, when it was proposed
and seconded, that a monument should be erected to
the memory of the above celebrated composer of
naval sono. The object was immediately embraced
by the meeting, which consisted of some most res-
pectable gentlemen, who contributed their subscrip-
tions towards the society, and pledged themselves to
forward it. Several resolutions were adopted, and
unanimously agreed to, and a treasurer and secretary
were appointed to carry it into effect. The spot on
which it is to be erected is left for future con-
Lactation.
