to exist among the inhabitants, and they had shewn the
moat decided wish to chastise the ill-disposed.
The example of the Governor and his officers, and the
reported speedy arrival of a reinforcement of troops of
Buenos Ayres, had inspired the Government party with
great confidence.

Cardinal MAURO CAPELLARI has been elected
Pope by the title of GREGORY XVI.

A Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign
Office this afternoon.

We refer to the express from Paris for the
particulars of the French Budget. The plan
of the Minister yields a disposable surplus of
fifty-six millions of francs. " From the ordinary
Budget," said M. LAFITTE, "we shall have
15,000,000 f., and from the extraordinary Budget
41,000,000 f. We have, besides, a Sinking
Fund of 81,000,0001. ; and yet our direct taxes
will remain without any increase- We have
also to announce to you, that the indirect taxes
have improved during the month of Janu-
ary, and produced an increase of 200,000,000 f.
notwithstanding the reduction ofthe duties. What
strength and power for war, if war should become
indispensible ! What resources for render-
ing peace prolific, if we have the happiness to
preserve it, of being able to employ the im-
mense capital we possess ! Our armaments are
sufficiently imposing either to ensure peace, or to
repel gloriously any aggression. We have, how-
ever, a well-founded hope that Europe will soon
reduce her forces to their ordinary establishment,
and that we also may be at liberty to reduce
our's to the scale which our safety and dignity
may require in a state of peace."

We regret to learn by our accounts from
Falmouth, of the loss of his Majesty's frigate
the Thetis, of 46 guns, with about a million of
dollars, and twenty of her crew—among whom
is a son of the unfortunate and much-lamented
Captain BINGHAM.

M. CONSTANTINE WOLICKY, the Polish De-
puty, at Paris, has addressed a letter to the
Constitutionnel, in which he mentions that as
the Emperor's Manifesto leaves no doubt of his
intentions towards the Poles, he hopes that the
French Government will adopt the most fitting
means of being useful to them, especially as
there is a deep conviction among the Poles of
the certainty of their cause being inseparable
from that of France.

The Times of this morning proposes that th•
duty on Advertisements be ls. 6d. for long and
short, instead of the two prices stated by the
CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER. The
adoption of this suggestion would be very un-
fair in more points than one, which we shall
explain to-morrow. A monopoly in advertise-
ments may be as questionable as in any thing else.

LOSS of H.M.S. THETIS, TWENTY of her

CREW, and a MILLION of DOLLARS.

(From the Second Edition of the Falmouth Packet, of
Saturday, dated Half past Four o'clock.)
His Majesty's brig Barracouta, Lieut. James, has just
arrived from Buenos Ayres, whence she sailed 21st No-
vember ; from Monte Video, 25th November ; and from
Rio de Janeiro, 15th December.

By this conveyance we have received an account of the
loss of his Majesty's ship Thetis. It appears that she
sailed from Rio de Janeiro on the 4th of December, and on
the following night she struck the Headland of Cape Frio,
and sunk in five fathoms water. She was bound to Eng-
land with a large freight—one tnillion of dollars,—the
whole of which is lost; and, we regret to say, about 20 of
her crew, among whom is Mr. Bingham, son of the late
Captain Bingham, who met with a similar fate a few
months before. The Druid, Clio, and JI/gerin.-:, under
the command of Admiral Baker, were at the wreck, to as-
certain the probability of saving any of the treasure.
We have received Buenos Ayres Papers to the 20th.
The French tri-coloured Gag was hoisted with great cere-
mony on the 2lst of October. General Fructuoso Rivera
had been elected President of the Oriental Republic of the
Uruguay, and his salary fixed at 9,000 dollars per annum.
General Paz had also been formerly installed by the nine
provinces of the interior as supreme military chief.
The state of Buenos Ayres appears to be still unsettled
in the interior.

The Courts of King's Bench and Common
Pleas sat at Guildhall this morning, and took Common
Jury causes : none of those tried were of the least interest
to the general reader.

Th e French Papers of Friday, which arrived
contain the. result of the long sitting of the
pofil i
.I.Bnem2aslBilomd at Rome, in the election of Cardinal AlAuao
C.:. EELLARI to the throne of ST. PETER, under the title
of GREGORY XVI. GREGORY was born in 1765,
and is therefore only 65 years of age. As he is younger,
and in more robust health, than either of his two ',retie-
Conclave yesterday,
censors, he is likely to wear longer the triple Crown.
Like all the recent chiefs of the Catholic church, he is
a❑ Italian, and
.belonged to a monastic order. He is
s tid to be an estimable man, and to be profoundly skilled
in the Oriental languages. lie was made a Cardinal
in 1826, by LEo XII. At the election of a Pope in
he was the most popular candidate with the people
but was opposed by the Austrian party, which
prevailed. His Holiness has already been compli-
mentedthe French Ambassador, and has in return ex-
elb'dys attachment to Louis Pamir, thoug:i net, like
his predecessors, called
"the oldest son of the church."—

STATE OF TRADE.—The increased demand
for weavers continues in this town and neighbourhood,
and the scarcity has become so obvious, that three exten-
sive manufacturing concerns, have been compelled, for the
purpose of fulfilling their existing orders, to open ware-
houses to put out work in Chorley and its neighbourhood.
We are also happy to announce, that a small advance has
at length been given to the nankeen weavers. Although
only 61- per cut on the low qualities, yet we trust it is the
forerunner to a further and more important rise in the
wages of this deserving body of men. We understapi,
from a respectable and competent authority, that according
to the present state and prospects of the cotton manufac,
tore, that a little unanimity among the masters would
ensure an immediate advance of 2.5 per cent. in the wages
of the weavers.—Batim Chronicle.
