ception of 20,000 stand of arms, which will be removad
to their destination as soon as the mails are practicable.
"It appears that an extensive establishment had been
set on foot at Kiachta, on the Chinese frontier, in
for the tanning of Russian leather, which it is said in letters
from that place of the I2th of December last, is now pro-
ceeding prosperously, an excellent outlet having been found
for its produce in the interior of China.

" The Duke de Levis died yesterday in Paris suddenly,
at the age of 62. He bad been long as much distinguished
by his talents and acquirements in the world of letters as
by his birth in the French Peerage. His Travels in Eng-
hnd, his Itfaximes et Pens&s, and his published Ro-
mances, are well known on both sides of the channel. It
is understood that he has left a collection of valuable
papers in readiness for publication. He is succeeded in
the Peerage by his son, the Duke de Ventadour, Aide-de-
Camp to the Dauphin.
" I have just seen a letter from Havre, which states
that all the seamen of that port, and at Fecamp, and
Dieppe, who could be laid hold of, bare been forcibly en-
rolled in the royal service, and that the merchant vessels
have been left without halide. The French ship owners
begin to be apprehensive that the Americans will be able
to underbid them in contracting for the transport of the
troops.

" A report is current at the Bourse, of a serious insur-
rection among the negroes of Guadaloupe, instigated, it is
said, by emissaries from Hayti."

A spirited Debate took place, last night, in
the House of Commons, on the motion of the
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (in a Com-
mittee of Supply), "that the sum of 3,015,0331.
be granted to his MAJESTY for the maintenance
of the land service for the year commencing the
25th December, 1829, to the 25th December,
1830." Sir H. PARNELL, in reply to an ob-
servation of the CHANCELLOR of the Ex-
CHEQUER that the whole retrenchable expen-
diture of the country amounted to less than
12,000,0001., stated that there was 25,000,0001.
which was subject to diminution. Mr. HUME
followed up this statement, and in a speech
characterized by unusual earnestness, dwelt on
the universal distress of the country, on the re-
luctance of the House to award even the com-
monest measure of justice to the people, and
concluded by expressing his belief that the time
was not far distant when the spirit of the nation
would be roused to obtain redress, and the
Ministry would be brought to a sense oftheir duty.
Mr. PEEL replied to these and similar remarks
of the Hon. Member at some length, and with
considerable energy. For our own parts we
should prefer to see fewer " sayings" and more
" doings" in the House. The season is one of
peculiar and aggravated difficulty, and demands
not a promise of retrenchment, but the actual
retrenchment itself. That Ministers are de-
sirous to take every feasible opportunity
of lightening the burdens of the country, we
most sincerely believe ; still we think they have
not yet gone far enough in the good work. A
considerable reduction in those taxes which press
the heaviest on the agricultural, commercial, and
manufacturing population, may be made with
infinite advantage to the community, and no de-
triment to the power or patronage of Govern.
ment ; for what power, however bolstered up
by artificial means, can match for security, cha-
racter, or duration, that which is derived from
the sympathy, gratitude, and admiration of the
people at large ?

TIIE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

This morning is less productive of arrivals and infor-
mation than for several days past. We have no ship-
letters, but a mail has arrived from Holland bringing the
Dutch Funds rather higher, but Spanish Bonds are
lower there ; the Metalliques are also higher.
The Reach snail which has come to hand has already
been anticipated. Report says that the Chambers will
not last longer than about three months, and the French
Budget will, soon after the opening, be brought forward,
and hUrried through both Howes ; also, that great oppo-
sition is expected against the present Ministry.
Consols, which left off yesterday at 92 to for the
account, opened at the same price; but the market con-
tinues heavy at 92 to and for next time t, with
little or no life in the market. It is supposed to be a Bull
acconnt.

Little doing in the Foreign Market. Greek has im-
proved to 4.11.
