below. From these Resolutions it would appear
that a pound Irish is equal to one pound one
shilling and eight-pence, English. In both
countries the pound and shilling admit of the
same component parts, there being twenty shill-
ings to the pound, and twelve-pence to the shill-
ing in each, hut the shilli►►g English is equal to
thirteen►-pence Irish. Thus, 1001. British cur-
rency is received in Ireland for 1001. and 1-I‘2th
part more, and 1001. Irish currency is received
in Great Britain for 131 part less than 1001. En-
glish. The Assimilation of the currency must be
attended with a certain degree of inconvenience,
but it is an iriconvettiece that use and time will
speedily remove, and that once conquered, no
one can doubt of the beneficial effects that most
follow the change. The greatest difficulty that
the plan has to encounter, is the relation that
now exists between debtors and creditors, but
that is met by the seventh resolution ; and, be-
sides, will always admit of calculation so as to
reduce or extend the sum to be paid and receiv-
ed as the case may require. In order to meet the
decreased value of tl►e penny Irish, the copper
coinage of that country will be called in, and re-
placed by the issue of the copper coinage of
Great Britain. The complexity of accounts will
in this manner be avoided, and commercial inter-
course facilitated.

" 1. That it appears to this Committee that the pound sterling
in Great Britain and Ireland respectively, is, according to the
currency of each, divisible into 20 shillings, and that the shilling
in Great Britain and Ireland respectively is, according to the
said currency of each, divisible into 12 pence ; but that the silver
coin which represents a shilling of the money of Great Britain is
paid, accepted, and taken, as representing one shilling and one
penny of the currency of Ireland, and the pound sterling of the
currency of Great Britain is, at the par of exchange, paid, ac-
cepted, and deemed as equivalent to one pound, one shilling,
and eightpence, of the currency of Ireland; and that any suns of
British currency is, at the same par of exchange, paid, accepted,
and deemed as equivalent to an amount of pounds, shillings, and
pence, of the currency of Ireland, greater by 1-12th part than the
amount of pounds, shillings, and pence, of the currency of Great
Britain contained in such sum ; and that any sum of Irish cur-
rency is at the same par of exchange paid, accepted, and deeMed
as equivalent to an amount of pounds, shillings, and pence of
the currency of Great Britain, less by one thirteenth part than
the amount of pounds, shillings, and pence of the currency of
Ireland contained in such sum.

" 2. That as great complexity of accounts between persons
residing within the different parts of the same United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland, and other inconveniencies, arise
from the said difference of currency, it is the Opinion of this
Committee that it is desirable to assimilate the currency of
Ireland to the currency of Great Britain, without disturbing
the relation between debtor and creditor, and to make here-
after one uniform currency for the United Kingdom.
" 3. That it is the opinion of this Committee that it is ex-
pedient that the values of monies of account in Ireland, and
monies of account in Great Britain,. should in all cases what-
ever be assimilated to each other.
" 4. That it is the opinion of this Committee, that it is ex-
pedient that all duties constituting the public revenues of Ire-
land should be calculated and received, by the several depart-
ments under which they are collected, in the currency of the
United Kingdom ; and that all books and accounts kept in
relation to such duties, and all accounts in which the public
hare any interest, should be kept and stated in the said cur-
rency of the United Kingdom, and in no other.
" :5. That it is the opinion of this Coannittee, that it is ex-
pedient that the public debt in Ireland should cease to be esti-
mated in Irish currency ; and that in all accounts thereollhe
same shall be stated at its amount in the currency of the United •
Kingdom ; and all sums payable for interest in respect of the
said debt sould be calculated and paid in the said currency of
the United Kingdom. -
. _ .

" 6. That it is the opinion of this Committee, that it is ex-
pedient that all existing salaries, allowances, pensions, duties,
and debts, and all contracts, agreements, and stipulations, for
the payment of money having reference to Irish currency, shall
be deemed to be fully discharged and satisfied by payment ac-
cording to the amount in British currency, calculated at the
rate of 12-13th parts of the amount stipulated to be paid in
Irish currency.
" 7. That it is the opinion of this Committee, that it is expe-
dient that from and after the period of assimilating the Irish to
the British currency, all contracts, agreements, and stipulations,
involving or implying the payment of money, should be held to
be entered into, in reference to money of the value and descrip-
tion of that now circulating in Great Britain, unless the con-
trary be made to appear.
" E. That it is the opinion of this Committee, that it is ex-
pedient that in pursuance of any Proclamation to be issued by
his Majesty, the several coins of Great Britain should circulate
in Ireland, at the same nominal as well as at the same real value
as in other parts of the United Kingdom.
" j. That it is the opinion of this Committee that it is ex-
pedient that all copper coin of the currency of Ireland be per-
mitted to be brought to the Bank of Ireland, in pursuance of
any proclamation to be issued by his Majesty ; and that there
be delivered at the said Bank of Ireland a sum in the current
copper coin of Great Britain, after the rate of 12d. of the Eng-
lish copper coin for 13d. of the Irish copper coin."

Extract of a Letter from Bayonne, dated May 2, 182.5 :
" The whole of the French army, forming the corps stationed
in the vicinity of Vittoria, hare entered France (about 10,000
cavalry and infantry), witn General Oill)oxsrEau and his staff,
by the route of Bayonne ; some regiments by the pass. of Eon-
cezvalles ; and two regiments have been left as a reinforcenyit
at Pampeluna, and one at St. Sebastian. The troops which
left Spain have pursued their several routes for the interior,
principally destined for the North of France. On the 15th inst.
the troops that constituted the garrison of Corunna, with those
that were cantoned in that neighbourhood,
prance: they consist of about 6 m cavalry, ,000 en,will bFgin to enter
in fan try,. &c.
This will finish the evacuation of the disposable part of the
French force in Spain, and what will remain in occupation
of the fortified cities, including the Swiss regiments at Madrid,
may be computed at about thirty-three thousand men;
these troops may be considered purely as garrisons, and in
the event of any internal commotion, will be unable to act to
any extent, being obliged to guard their several stations since
the evacuation of Burgos and Vittoria. The assassinations of
Individuals who were either connected with, or employed by
the French- army,. have been frequent, particularly at Burgos.
Madrid is far from being tranquil, assassinations occur daily,
and much altercation takes place between the Swiss troops and
the citizens; the consequences are generally fatal on one side
or other; the principalimmediate cause of these disputes is,
that the undress regimental cap worn by the Swiss at this sea-
son,is precisely the same as that worn by the Constitutionalists
during their career; the Spaniards demand the substitution of
another, which the Colonel positively refuses until he shall re-
ceive the proper orders to that erect."

A letter from Alvarado, of the loth March,
states the arrival of the Lion cutter from England with specie,
being a part parnent of the loan for Mexico lately negociated.
The accounts of the recognition of the independence of _Mexico
by the Government of England had been received with the
greatest demonstrations of joy, ringing of bells, firing of guns,
&e. ea. Mr. Baring, of London, arrived at Alvarado on the
10th of March, in the Carnation, via Jamaica. The country
was perfectly tranquil. St. Juan de Ulloa still held out against
