It will be seen by reference to the House of
31-Oresentatives, that a Bill was yesterday reported
to -authorise the commutation of soldiers' bounty
for mosey, at the rate of one dollar trod forty
ceti!.. per acre. As it is at least possible. if not
rubalk-, that this Bill will pass. let the sober and
discreet soldier of the late army hold op his patent.
Instead cf fifty dollars for his hundred and sixty
acres, if, the Bill passes into a law, he will get fifty
dollars for four successive years : this is a prize that
will wen fey the patience of waiting its reward.

Letters from Centime>, represent the reasons of
the Duke of Wellington's journey to Paris to have
been of great importance, and particularly to con-
cern the arraingetuent of several difficult subjects of
discussion. All the dispatches by extraordinary
e,uriers wore ordered to be sent after him without
delay. It is thought that hit :rave, who returns to
