rye 21f. 50e. per 1,000 kilogrammes; the export duty

The King has ordered a levy of 16,844 recruits
(born in the year 1818 and 1819.) This levy exceeds
that of laEt year by 7,644 men.
RI.IENISH BAVARIA, FEB. 11.—We learn here
with astonishment, from undoubted authority, that the
French authorities at Lauterhurg and other frontier
'owns have annoucced that German deserters, who
shall go to France with the:r horses, arms, and bag-
gage, may enlist in any French regiment that they
may choose, and not be forced to enlist 'in the Fo-
reign Legion, and that the value of the deects they shall be punctually paid their. Me do not be-
lieve t' at this. measure will be sery successful ; but it
is a prcof of hostile sentimeatq, which we had no rea-
son to expect front the present Fieccir Goverunwnt.
BERLIN, FEB. 12.—1 t seems that all our cavalry
regiments are to be increased from 600 ta 800. .
131IUSSELS, FEB 19.—We ',tarp gnat the la,t perfors
of the ban has been negoti,t d at :3 per cent. higher
than the preceding issue, at 5 per cent. at 100:V. The
General Society has taken a third.

ANISFBI:DAM, FEB. 17.—According to official fie.
count.,, the. popul too of the kirgdoni of the Nuttier-
lands on the
.Ist of January, 1840, was 2,iiii5,731 souls,
adding 100,710 for the Duchy of L'aiburg ; the t )tal Is
2,860,450, Lesides 5,209 seamen enzliatked in his Ma,
jcsty's ships of war.
The account" from the provlace of Z.2aland, of the
stitc of the rival are not favourable. Tile same may
be said of the accounts from Arnheim and othei places.
The Supreme Council has rejected the appeal
of tie Attorney-General against the decision of
the Tribunal of Gronirireo, in tl.e offal. of the
journal, the Tolkder Vrylicid, and confirmed the
scow:ice of the tribunal. By this decision, the Council
has determined, among other points, that the printer is
not answerable, when the writer complained of is known
and presect.

FILUNTIELL OF POLAND, FEB. 7.—lt is said that a
Russian army of 80,000 men is to be assembled,at Ka-
lish. So much at IL tut is certain, that measures are
taken to form inaozine; for such a number of troops.—
IV/hut Gazette.

FiI6NTIEIt or POLAND, FLB. 4.—Travellers who
lately visited Warsaw affirm that they have ►card
there that the number of troops now in tLe• king-
dom of Poland amoui.t,; to two hunched thousand
men (only infantry). This number rosy be exaggerated,
but it is certain tliat all along our frontiers not only
the tofts in which garrisons arc utually placed, but
the small plcecs which can only be called towns, and
which in gen.,:ral have no garrisons, are now full of
troops. They ere entirely supported, al we learn, at
the expeLsc of the Government, by wh ch a great deal
of money is brought into circulation. There is but
little cavalry in our frontier towns, probably because
forage is dearer than in the adjacent Russian pro-
vinces.--Swabian Mercury.
ST. PETERSEUIIGII, FEE. G.—According tckporeleial
accounts the popul ttion of St. Petersburgh at the end
of 1840 was 470,202, of whom, however, only 132,590

DINNER at the .7tIANSION-HOUSE.

On Saturday the Lard Mayor gave a splendid en-
tertainment in the Egyptian-hall to her Majesty's Mi-
nisters. Although the party was not considered a public
affair, there were between sev,lnty and eighty Nrsons
present. .

Amongst the guests were Lord Melbourne, Lord
Normanby, Lnrd John Russell, Lord Clarendon, Lord
Morpeth, the Bishop of London, Sir Henry Parnell,
Sir Charles Felix ,Smith, of the Royal Engineers, who
commanded in Syria ; Mr. Fox Manic, Mr. Under-
Secretary Phillips, the Chairman and Deputy Chairman
of the EAst India Company, the Deputy-Governor of
the Bank of England, Mr. Crawford, M.P. ; Sir T.
B. Lenuard ; the Presidents of Christ's Hospital and
Bethlem Hospital ; several of the Aide men, the She-
riffs, &c.

After the usual loyal toast 3 were drank, with very
great warmth and applause,
The LORD Mayoa rose to propose the health of her
Majesty's Ministers, who bad done hm the hrmour of
act opting his invitation that day. It es with nigh gra-
tification he proposed a toast in wh► he knew all
wouli acquiesce, as the 'Ministers were those who were
employed in protecting this great nation.—(Cheers.)
WI rejoiced to say that within the walls of the balding
in which they were seated, often brai appeared brilliant
associatious of .r&ok, oral talent, and commercial great-
ness, and he trusted. to see many repetitions of such
visits.—(Cheers.) His Lordship then proposed " The
he ilths of Lord Melbourne, and the rest of her Majesty's
Ministers."

Lord MELBOURNE rose amid cheers. It was always,
he saii, with the highest satisfaction he came to the
city to share in the, hospitality' of, and to pay due respect
to, this great city, in the person of the Chief Magistrate.
—(l..;twers.) • Ile, however, 'never participated in the
civic hospitalities with more pleasure than now that the
chair was .filled by his excellent friend, who had been
c..lled to fill it under peculiar circumstances, to which
he should not any farther allude, and ha-1 entered upon
the duties of the ofllee in tile most rcsokite manner,
which shusxed him well qualified for the citvated situa-
it Inust he admitted
the tion.—(llCar, hear.) Whatever might be the opinion
ante. entmt tine I by the citizens of London with
respect
that
the Ministers cf the Crown,
there was n: t the lerst doubt of loyaltytheCrown,in whatever
citi-
zens and their attachment to

called the attention of the company to the next toast
very particularly. It was "The health of Sir Charles

Syria.'

Sir CHARLES FELIX SMITH returned thanks. Ho
regrettc.l that Sir Robert Stopford was not present, as
that gala commander was well qualified to talk upon
a subject on which he had acted so nobly. The merit
of the Syrian expedition was, he must say, due to her
Majesty's Government, and the activity of the move-
ments of the troops far outstripped any idea formed by
those who were either in or out of ollice.—(Cheers-)
Lord NORMANBY proposed " The health of the Lady
Mayoress," in a very complimentary speech ; and
The LORD MAYOR returned thanks.
