returned to Taganrog, from inspecting the troops, was seized on

a violent bilious fever, and an inflammation having ensued, de-

succession of the Grand Duke Constantine having been con-.

Duke, who is still at Warsaw, has sent leis brother the Grand
Duke Michael to St. Petersburgh to prepare for his arrival
there as Emperor Constantine the First.—(Amsterdaria Courant.)

FRANKFORT, DEC. 16.

We learn from Vienna that on the 19th of this month bonds
of the old public debt, to the amount of nearly 5,400,000 florir s,
were burnt in the usual manner. The whole amount redeemed
since 1818 is about 44,400,000 florins.

In another part of our Paper will be found
several extracts from the Australian, a Journal
lately published, for the first time in New South
Wales. These extracts possess some degree of
attraction, as they display the feeling with which
the measures of the Colonial Government at
home are regarded by that valuable► a►►d in-

teresting portion, of our foreign possessions.
These measures, it will be seen, to use a mild ex-
pression, have not given satisfaction, and the in-
terference of Lord BATHURST is looked upon with
a suspicious eye, and as conducive to no good
end. Without entering into this question be-
tween his Lordship and the Colonists very deeply,
we may observe there seems something like
reason in their complaints, and something
which renders them well worthy of his con-
sideration. Of the establishment of the Court of
Honour, spoken of in the first extract, we say
nothing, because it effected but little either of
harm or good, and It has now passed away, and
will he most likely never resorted to again.—
But bushranging, and the deficiency of the
Police, are evils at this moment existing, and
urgently requiring something to be done for the
suppression of the former and the reformation of
the latter. On both these subjects the Austra-
lian has been continually repeating its complaints,
and no wonder when the loss the settlers expe-
rience from the perpetual depredations of Bush.
rangers is considered. One measure, (viz. a re-
formation of the system of police), would
remedy both these evils, and that at an. ex pence
far less, and in a ma!aler more constitutional and
more effectual, Oran can be expected from any
augmentation of the military force of the colony.
Nevertheless this last plan has been adopted,
and an additional regiment sent out, which must
by this time have arri'.ed. It is to be hoped our

next accounts way bring us some intelligence of
the activity of the military,in rendering the settlers
more secure in their houses, and protecting their
cattle and property from the depredations of the
bushrangers ; and also of their doing something
finally to suppress a practice so harassing and
vexatious to the settler, and moreover so destruc-
tive in its effects.

M I:ET I Isi G OF TILE CABINET.-Yesterday morn-
ing, after breakfast, the Earl of LivEaroor, left
his country-seat at Combe-wood, near Kingston.
Surrey, about ten o'clock, in his travelling chariot
and pair, to proceed to London, to attend to the
important business of the State, which has for
some time past required his constant and in-
cessant attention. The Noble Ertl arrived at
his house in Witehall, at eleven o'clock. During
the day, the Noble , Earl received frequent
communications from the Bank of England as
to the proceedings of the day. The Secretary to
the Treasury was in attendance upon the Noble
Earl to transact official business. About twelve
o'clock, Mr. Huskisson and Mr. Grant, the Pre-
sident rind Vice• President of the Board of Trade,
attended the Noble Earl as Premier, and intro-
duced four gentlemen to him from the city, upon
the important subject of commerce and trade :
the subject to be discussed being of considerable
importance, occupied their attention till past
three o'clock. Afterwards the Earl of Liverpool
had a long consultation with Viscount Melville,
the Earl of Ilarrowby, and Mr. Secretary Peel.
At a quarter before five o'clock, Mr. Thornton, the
Bank Director, waited. upon the Earl of Liver-
pool, to report to his Lordship the proceedings of
the day, which we understood was very favour-
able, and highly satisfactory, both 'to the Di-
rectors of the Bank of England, and to the Noble
Earl who is at the head of the members of his
• Majesty's Government. A very important order
in Council, particularly os it respects I reland, VI e
understand, was agreed upon on Tuesday by the
King in Council, which was a regulation for the
Icoinage of Ireland, to assimilate it to the coinage
i of England.

Five waggons were this day sent off from the
Bank with fifteen tons of silver for exportation,
supposed to he on account of Mr. ROTHSCHILD.
This does not look like apprehension of any de-
ficiency as to one at least of the precious metals.
We are sorry to observe a paragraph in the
Dorset County Chronicle of Monday, that the
Bank of Messrs. MANNING, BOWER, and
M'LONG, at Weymouth, had not renewed their
payments, for which, however, it was supposed
they were making arrangements.
Loan CocnnAms.—lt has been very confi-
dently rumoured in London, during the last few
days, that Lord Cochrane is now on his way to
Greece, and that by this time he must be consi-
derably advanced on his journey. Our London
correspondent has taken great pains to inquire
into the report, and informs us that it is strongly
believed by persons who are so interested as to
have the best information on the subject.—
