men coutinnes to go on most prosperously. The Tri.
nity House has subscribed 200 gs. and the East India
Company 2001. The ‘lurine 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 foond seamen, chiefly belonging to
King's ships ; for these a temporary lodging was pro-
vided. So numerous, however, were the applications,
for relief that the Committee at the King's-hewl, Poul-
try, on Friday, informed the Lord, Mayor that farther
accommodation had become absolutely necessary ; they
added that the Master tel the London ‘Vorkhouse 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 affind
temporary relief to those who could not be accommo-
dated, until the ships destined to receive them should
arrive.

A Meeting was on Wednesday held at Lloyd's Coffee.
house, for the purpose of entering into a subscription
for the relief of the sufferers by the late destructive fires
in St. John's Newfundland. A proposition was made
to subscribe 1100!. from the Funds of the Society ; but
that was negatived by a large urkjority, 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 ou the 3d inst. the Committee on
the Budget was completed.
Extract of a letter from Cambrav, Dec, 29 :—" Great
festivities have been doing forward 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 ctaff have
performed several dramatic pieces with great effect.—
Mathews has been out here, and was invited by the
Duke to the chateau : he gave his ' Mail 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
family, with 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
negociations with the allied Powers have made great
progress since the end of the last month. The Duke
of Wellington. as well as General Woronzuff, 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 the claims of the Allied Powers makes
an equal progress. On Saturday last the U.:omission.
ers of liquidation had entirely terminated the consider.
ation of the Spanish claims. The rise in the public
funds on Saturday was, in consequence, very sensible."
We understand that Lord Siduiouth, some days since,
signed warrants for discharging all the remaining State
prisoners, upon their giving their own reeognizanees
ta appear to any charge which might be brought against
them next Term ; a condition with which they all
most cheerfully complied, except two London prison-
ers, and a man of the name of Benbow, from Marcher.

characters.

Similar Letters have been sent to the Peers by the
Earl of Liverpool.
Letters from Vienna state, that Jerome Boonaparte
has demanded permission to proceed to Trieste. This
per►nission has not been granted, because he had broken
his premix when he was there in 1814.
