mats was then put off to the mixt day ; and when it
was received on Friday, the third muliug of the Bill
was postponed to Thar Allay next, three days after the fate
of the Property Tax shall have been scaled. It is on these
grounds, and we trust we have shown that they were
more than mere speculations, that we found the expec-
tations we now held out to the putlie. The nation, we
now lrAieve, will have her wish. May it turn to her
advantage; and may the gratification of her f,...lings be
attended with the removal of her temporary distresses,
and the enjoyment in uninterrupted felicity of that
superior glory and power, which her own exertions and
the blessings of Heaven have bestowed upon her, the
tivoured amongst the nstions of the earth.

MONDAY, MARCH 18.

BY French Papers to the 15th, we learn that the re-
cruiting of the army proceeds with regularity, but still
with slowness, owing to the great caution necessary to
be observed in making selections from the old soldiery,
and the general want of young men fit for arms who
have not before served. It appears by these papers that
economy is loudly proclaimed on all sides throughout
all Franca, and by all authorities. The good King sets
the example by givinF, up 10 millions of franofrom his
civil list. The Mirustcrs follow. They make a gra-
duated deduction from all salaries, beginning so low as
500 francs (a little more than '2Ol. sterling), and going
up to the highest. According to this scale, the lowest
class contributes 1 per cent. on the amount of their sala-
ries, and the highest class no less than 83 per cent. ! The
Finance Committco, however, have improved still fur-
ther on their principle, for they have added a clause to
prevent the accumulation (f places; or, at least, of their
emoluments in the hands of the same individual.
It is said, that the Empress Maria Louisa, in conse-
quence of the pressing solicitations of her father, will
proceed immediately to Venice, to assume the Govern-
ment of Parma, Placentia, and Guastella. All the
French who were in her suite, had been previously dis-
missed. Her son does not accompany her, but remains
in Vinna, under the care and superinteniance of the
Austrian Government. _ _

There is a long circular letter in these papers from the
Minister of the Interior, M. de Vaublanc, to the Pre..
reds, in which he notices the alarming reports and ma-
nreuvres of various kinds which the disaffected employ to
agitate the public mind.

A mail from Holland arrived on Saturday. The pa-
pers by it are to the 13th instant, and are nearly filled
with the ceremonials at the marriage of the Prince of
Orange and the Emperor Alexander's sister at St. Pc-
tersburgh. The Duke of Wellington was shortly ex-
pected to leave Paris, in order to inspect the right wing
of the army of occupation and the cautionary fortresses.
Serious quarrels continue to take place between the Prus-
sians and French. His Prussian Niftiesty had ordered
his troops to wear mourning for three days, for the death
of Count linlow. The report of the intended transfer of
the Prussian territories on the left bank of the Rhine to
the Emperor Alexander, by whom it is further rumoured
they were to be given as a marriage portion with his
sister to the Prince of Orange, has been officially con-
tradicted by the Prussian government.

American Papers are arrived to the 14th ult. The
late official and warlike communications between the
Spanish Ambassador anti the American Government
have been followed by the departure of his Excellency
the Chevalier de Onis from the United States.
The Commercial Treaty between this country and
America is already acted upon on the part of the United
States. A British vessel is named which had arrived, and
under these new regulations paid only 100 dollars instead
of 950. The extra duties taken subsequent to the 22.(1
Dectinber from British vessels, arc in such cases ordered
to be returned.

The House of Commons on Friday went into a Com-
mittee, to consider the Message of the Prince Regent, on
the approaching marrial,,e of the Princess Charlotte of
Wales with Prince Leopold of Saxe-Cobourg. The sum
of 60,000 L a year has been propose:: as a suitable pro-
vision fur the illustrious persons, and we arc sure that
there is not a single individual in the country that will
say that it is too much fiur the occasion. 1t is truly gra-
titYing to hear the flattering manner in which the cha-
racter of the young Prince is mentioned by persons who
have the best information cn the subject.
The Queen will hold a Drawing Room on Thursday.
Her Majesty pays great attention to the arrangements
