FINAKCOS.

Such ate the improvements effected in the inter
nal adritinistration of France since your list session ;
bet the principal feature, that which more panicu-,
lady, deserves'your notice, the state of our finances,
is still'wanting. In no retied were: they se prospe-
rous, and during no interval so short has there been
such. an improvement. The public exchequer has
been delivered from die dependence on contractors,
who made use of lis.a);.vn means for the purpose of
its ruin. Mans, formerly so troublesome, have now
beeorne easy; and are effe6led on very moderate
terms ; the public treasury obtains discount at less
than 5 per cent. of which there is no example under
the ancient Monarchy. A distinct chest, appertain-
ing to the Treasury, serving for the transaction of
business.with the acCOmptants and the public, affords
them the facility of accelerating the payments t,hey
have- to .make, and affords individuals a secure
place of deposit, which stock -jobbing cannot affect.
By means of this chest, without the interven-
tion of money, by employing in every place the re-
ceipts that have been given there, it may be pro-
cured where .the payments are to be made. • Its re-
sourses have increased beyond its wants. The an—
cient Monarchy, in its prodigious loans, never found
so fertile a mine ;, but never was there so little ne-
cessity 'for working it. The chests are full ; the
payments are made to the appointed time ; orders
upon the public exchequer have become the safest
bills of exchange; the public effeas are those which,
inspire the most confidence. •
Such is the efie& of the first glatibets 6f the E-
mperor at the state of the finances, after his return
from Vienna, and, of the attention whiCh he has be-
stowed on this important branch of administration ;
andlet no impost has been added to those which
previously existed; no tiew source of wealth has
been opened for the Treasury; the commands and
the foresight of the Chief of the Government have.
alone effeded this astonishing amelioration.

ROUEN, SEPT. infant child of M. Mus-
sET, Rue des Jul/S, vaccinated borne years ago, ey,
perienced, about three weeks ago, an eruption which
resembled very much the small-pox. The child
was seen by meat of the Surgeons and Physicians of
Rouen. Several persons, ddecived by the appear-
ances, spread a report that this eruption was the
small-pa. Nothing is more false. Twelve chil-
dren have been twice inoculated with the ripest of
the variolous pustules, and not one of the Children
leas taken the small-pox. We are - astonished that
the Vaccine Committee, several- IVlcrisbers of which
have watched the progress of this disorder, *pre-
serve silence upon this important 1.10. It might
be proper to publish the' experiments made upon
this occasion, becaust they must be useful to hu-
manity, by proving, more and more, that the vac-
cine is a preservative against the sinall-pox.--

BAMBERG, SEPT. i.--A German Journal has
proved, by a comparison of dates, that the Eng-
lish Ilinistera, at the moment they sent their
Expedition to Zealand, had not, by their own
acknowledgement, any official or authentic in-
telligence' of" the new connexions which the
Secret' Articles of the rpreaty of :Tilsit may
haveformed between France and Russia.--
The . departure of Admiral GAMBIER has been
precipitated, merely upon a vague report, that
Russia had, by viitue of a Treaty of Alliance sub-
sisting between ier and Denmark, demanded a suc-
cour of .Itt Dan sh ships of the line„ and i 5,u00
land . troops, to co-operate in a descent upon the
British Isles.—(Gazette de Burnbeig.)

THE TriATRE.—The Tragedy of lldelg►itha,
which was so well received last season .at Drury-
lane Theatre, WO represented last night at that
place aeo attreeted a. very numerous audience.
Mrs.Powat.r., the heroine of the .piece, made her
first:appearance for the season, and had a very flat-
tering reception. • She never appeared to more ad-
vantage than in this Tragedy, and her performance
last: night was fully correspondent with her for Mer
merit. Her excursion to Ireland seems• to have
improved her health,. as she lonked remarkably
The rest of the Characters were very well
supported by Et.Larrow, firaittoea, and H. Sw-
amis, and the Play altogether was received with great
applause.. In the afterpiece of The Poor Soldier,
Madame Da Potcrt again appeared in the character
of Patrick, and acted with more freedom and spirit
than on the former 'fight. She gave the airs with
lkimplicity 'and skill, and was very much applauded.
Mra. Moutitatu also ebtaintd great applause for
her. singing in Norais. Wu, were somewhat sur-
prised that she should have introduced the hacknied
ballad of Bateau's Banks, particularly as the air is so
often heard in The Daenna. DioNu t. chaunted
with ituch lengthened notes in Derinat as Would
have been better adapted to a more solemn occasion,
MATHBws was uncommonly whimsical in Da4y,
and Wawinates Bag►atelle was perhaps' the beit
that has been seen.

KELLY and his musical MHO, ROVEDINO and
Moemi, have, it seems had a few discards since
they have been. in Ireland. The latter refused, it is
said, to sing at KELLY'S benefit, unless he paid them
twenty-five guineas each. As they had no such airs
in this country, something must have happened hi
.Ireland that has put them out of tune. •
- The young Captain of the gang of pickpocket,
who exerted his transferring talents tic) successfully at
Bartholomew pair, follows so closely the track of
FIELDING'S memorable hero; Jonathan Wild the
Great, that he has already pretensiou to the title of

Information was received by Watson, a constable;
at the watchhouse, in Mount-street, on, Teeiday

she perceived a bundle lying et the dour of Sir Mel

A very dreadful accident happened at railstorth,
near Manchester, on Friday last. On receiving the
news of the surrender of Copenhagen, saccrat men
procured a cannon, in order to the it in celebration
. of tiweivent ; but after discharging
,the piece two vs.
three times, they at length rammed a largequantity
of wet grass and turf into its muzzle, fer the Pur-
pose of causing a louder' report, wl!en, 'melancholy.
to relate, the cannon burst, end kalled two alert;
tietddes 'maiming several othets. .
About a week age two Gentlemen, near 'Faun.
ton, lost each a valuable horse from the pasture; in
the neighbourhood. After much trouble, they
traced them in the dire4ion cif Btistel, and ituspeet-
ing that they might have strayed towards Kings.
wood, they hastened thither, and, in their search,
found one of them grazing on Coekroed Commom
The Gentlemen seized the horse :—as it was late lit
the evening they didliat think it prudent to bring
it through the country, but led it to a oeighnooring
Inn, secured it in the stable, and ,bespoke supper and
beds for the night. In the morning they diseovered
that the stable door had been forced, and not only
the stolen horse carried OW, but the two others
which t4ey had used in the pursuit, with saddles
and bridles all together Neither the horses nor
the audacious felons have been since heard of, and
the Gentlemen returning home, were congratulated
by their friends, that they had not lost their boots
and spurs.
A most beautiful specimen of Roman elegance has
lately been discovered at Wellow ; and by the in.
terference of Colonel Leigh, of Combhay, together
with the lord. of the manor, Colonel Gore Langton,
will be prevented from suffering die injury and di.
Japidation which the relics of antiquity so frequently
experience. What has been hitherto discoiered
consists of a piece of Mosaic work, and. of
sitely beautiful tesselated pavement, enriched with
figures, in a high state of preservation ; and test
scree of which preserve the most beautiful and vivid .
colour. The dimensions are considerable; . and
from what has been already found, it would appear
that a very considerable portion yet remains to be
eXplored. On Tuesday last the workmen had ex.
posed a fresh piece of great beanty, and as perfect as
, what had been previously laid
,open.
A bruising 'match will take place this day in the
