LONDON,
SATURDAY, MAY 2S, 1816.

Th• SPEAKER of the Hone of Commons yester-
day, in couverestion with a friend in the Lobby of
the Bonus, expressed an opinion that the Session
would close atimit the end of June. The supple-
mentary Budget, including both English and Irish
finance, is ext.ected to be brought forward on
Monday. We have not heard of any new Taxes,
unless the modification of the Soap Duty is to
Ire considered of that description. It is to be
hoped that the loan of three millions from the
Bank, and the reduction in the public expendi-
ture, exacted by the perseverance of the Opposi-
tion in the House of Commons, will supply the
deficiency caused by the discontinuance of the In-
come Tax, and the NVar Malt Duty. Should
they fall short, Ministers base an easy preventive
against new burdens in their power—they have
only to retrench a little more. It is impossible
that in the present state of general distress, they
could think of laying fresh tuxes on the country.

We have received the Paris Papers to the 22d
instant. They announce the arrest of several per-
sons at Bourges ; but though this proves the extent
of the dittcontent in Fiance, the rise in the funds
demonstrates that the recent conspiracy Inc, nor
shaken the public confidence in the stability of the
existing Government. One of these Papers contains
a copy of the Definitive Treaty between Austria and
Bavaria. The latter surrenders the Hausrunkviertel
and the imivieltyl, the Tyrolian bailiwick of Vile,
and the Duchy of Salzhourg, and receives in ex-
change the districts of Deux-Ponts, Kniseilautern,
and Spire, the Cando), town, and fortress of Landau,
and some other territories.

The Five per Cents. are, 59 fr. 60 c.; Bank
Actions, 1,082 fr. 50 c.

Dutch Papers to the 9.2 d instant have ar-
rived. An article, under the head of Leyden,
21st, asserts, upon the alleveil authority of a private
letter fano Paris, that Fouct c. CA aPIOT. and
other principal French etn,,grauts, scattered over
Europe, were implicated io the recent entispira..y
in France. This intelligence cornea, however, in a
very questionable shape.

We hove received a mass of American Papers,
includimc those from New I'm k from the istli
to the 30th of April. The Hill to regulate the
Duties on Imports nod Tonnage was read the third
time, and passed, m,ith the amendments, iii the Se-
nate, ou the 20th, by a majority of 25 to 8. The
following are extracts :

NEW YORK, APRIL 25.

The Hon. William Pinckney has accepted the
appointment of Minister Plenipotentiary of the
United States to Russia, and of couri.e resigned his

timore.

The Bill respecting duelling, which had passed
the two Houses of the Legislature, was, in the Coun-
cil of Revision, referred to his Honour the
Chan-
cellor, to be reported to the Legislature on the first
day of the next Session.—(A/b. Go:.)
We learn, from a correct source, that Mr. Dal-
las has signified to the Treasury his desire to resign
his situation as soon as a successor can be selected.

Sir Gordon Ihnituniind, Governor of Lower Ca-
nada, ims issued a Proatinstion restoring the trade
between that province mid the United States to it;
funnel. footing. IVe have received a copy of the
Proclamation, hut its length prevents its from pub-
lishing it at present.—(Commercial Advertiser.)

Extract from a private letter, dated Cambridge,
May 23 :—" We regret to bear that the riotert: in
Suffolk are by no mean% quelled.—One of the Ma-
gistrates of this county set off in a chaise and four
to Lord Si DMOUTICS office, this afternoon, 111 Con-
brquence of a riotous aviemblage at Ely."
