'mract :

" A hundred thousand Frenchmen have co=operated iii the
lenoration of the Government of Ferdinand the Seventh at the
Price of their blood ; a hundred thousand Frenchmen are cre-
tlit°l-8 bonaj/f2s of Spain. Ferdinand the Seventh was King at
the Period of the loan of 182] ; it is Ferdinand the Seventh who
teigtis in 1824. Would he show gratitude to the hundred thou-
4and who fought for him, by ruining the hundred thousand who

11AN'ovEn, MAncit 13.—This city has sustained a great
1"58 by the death of the Baroness de Decken, born Coun-
t"l Of Eichsteidt Peterswaldt. She was a contemporary of
Vrederick the Great, whose memory she cherished with re-
spect. Her youth was distinguised for an amiability of manner,
which might have been envied even by the most refined.
At eighty-two years of age Ilde. de Decken wrote like Mad.
3evigne, and conversed like Mademoiselle Defend. During the
6eettpation of the Electorate of Hanover by the French arms,
'he gave important proofs of her devotedness to her legitimate
kaster.

for the last time; and that in case no answer

'lig such measures as it should judge the most

the above information is well founded.

ur attention C
has beenH
called to a manceavrea
of Alderman
ilih,;;n;Yhich certainly had escaped our notice, who, it seems,
employed in the preparation of a Bill called " The
j,l4ee.friars Bridge Debt Bill,"—a measure which we are told
titi*,„a'av different in its nature from that which its unobtrusive
Would lead us to imagine ; indeed, so important would be
Ntfeaults, were it hurried- through Parliament without a little
it,hee, that we are pressed to explain the circumstances under
it ha: been concocted.
tAnt3 Object is to enable the Corporation to pay off what are
Pi,,r841 the City Bonds—its operation, to deprive a large body of
ths°na of about half their income—the facts relative to it--
to h -e City of London, by the wording of these bonds, engage
aisr47 ti per cent. interest, until the principal shall be paid
at 91 the " Orphans' Fund," or " Navigation Tolls ;" and
for It, was well known that these funds would be insufficient
I,o4!)nat purpose,—upon the faith of the conditions of the
tiow4s, they have been sold at 15 per cent. premium ; but
10 to the astonishment and dismay of every interested per-
tag:, the City, taking advantage of the high price of stocks,
ath unfairly (it is said) propose to pay off those bonds out of
th:r Monies than those upon which they are actually made
looNeahle ; and thus prematurely force the holder to accept
mate, for which lie can only obtain 3 per cent. in the funds,
h4brad of having the 5 per cent. bond, for which lie pro-
thu Y,Paid 15 per cent. premium. And the only pretence for
thel oepriving people of nearly half their income is, " that as
R.,,a duty of 6d. per chaldron on coals brought to London was
the.rlted for the payment of the principal and interest on part of
bur bonds, that duty would be thereby sooner annihilated;"
pareven this is fallacious, for in the ordinary course the greater
tl4' Of these bonds would be paid off in a few years, and the
eetY,would then cease ; and should the proposed plan be ef-
tire expence of carrying it into execution trill nearly
*4'o4 to the sum saved, and even if the 6d. duty on coals
sikole now annihilated, the sum is so small, that the con-
seti," would pay precisely the same price that lie does at pre-
and the coal-merchant be the only one benefited. The

able ti!et Is, the plan will only benefit those persons who, to en-
'le city to pay off these bonds, are to lend them money at
ins cent. cent. more than they can get in the
,funds, and who may
'lntl, sell the new bonds they are to receive as security for

Al. or 71. per cent. premitstts3 and thin, as the debt amount s to
700,0001., realize a most enormous profit; and to make the chse
worse, the holders of the present bonds are not to have the option
of having one of the new 4 per cent. bonds, but are to be forced
to take the 1001., while for the loan of the like sum the 4 per
cent. bond is given to another.
Thus, should this Bill pass (without conferring any public
benefit), a large number of persons will be deprived, as we
have before said, of nearly half their income, and hundreds,
who, trusting to the faith Of the City of London, who have per-
haps invested the whole savings of a long life of toil in the
purchase of these securities, will he plunged into absolute dis-
tress.

In addition to all other circumstances attending the attempt
to smuggle this veil important Bill through Parliament, we
perceive that Alderman Woon in the Common Council
stated on the 3d of May, that the petition was so framed as to
permit the city bond-holders to lend the city money at 4 per
cent., whereas the Bill brought into Parliament by the same
enlightened and worthy Alderman, does not give the bond-
holder any such option.
We certainly should advise the bond-holders to call a meet-
ing, and petition Parliament on the subject, or depute some of
themselves to explain to Government the ruinous consequences
of the measure ; at all events we have done our duty, in vindi,
eating the rights of a large portion of the community, which,
unless some struggle be speedily made, appears to us to be in
imminent peril; and we hope our call will be attended to.

TUE KING'S AItRIYAL is To wN.-On Satur-
day evening, about half-past six o'clock, the
King, escorted by a party of Light Horse, ar-
rived at his Palace in Pall-mall, in his travelling
carriage and four, from Windsor Castle. Yes-
terday morning his MAJESTY, attended by his
Household, heard Divine Service performed at
his Palace, in Pall-mall, by the Rev. Dr. Blom-
berg. The Duke of Youx paid a visit to the
King yesterday. -Yesterday the Loan CHAN-
CELLOR and the Duke of WELLINGTON had au-
diences of his MAJESTY.

Liw PROMOTION.-This morning, in the Court
of King's Bench, MICHAEL NOLAN, Esq., King's Counsel,
took the oaths of allegiance and supremacy to his Majesty
GE.onus the FOURTH, and was sworn in before their Lord-
ships, In open Court, a Welsh Judge.

THE ROYAL FAMILY.—On Saturday evening
Prince LEOPOLD, attended by Baron Stockmar, arrived at
Marlborough House, from Claremont. The Duke of Clarence
visited the Duke of Sussex yesterday.—Yesterday the Duchess
of Kent attended Divine Service at the Royal German Chapel.
The service was performed by the Rev. Dr. Kuper.—Yesterday
the Princess Augusta dined with the Duke and Duchess of
Clarence.—The Duchess of Clarence visited the Duchess of
Kent yesterday.—The Duchesses of Kent and Gloucester, and
the Princesses Feodore and Vittoria, visited the Duke and
Duchess of Clarence on Friday.
By the last accounts from Lisbon, it is cer-
tain that ships and troops, amounting to 9.000 men, have sailed
from the Tagus to subdue the Brazils. The Contractors for
the intended Brazilian Loan, in the City, have very properly
issued a circular, stating that the contract is deferred We
have no doubt but that the Emperor PEDRO will soon enough
submit to his father ; and we are well convinced that, notwith-
standing the presence of several French as well as British,
ships in the port of Rio, when the Portuguese troops shall
arrive there, that neither the former will fire a gun in favour
of the Portuguese, nor the latter in favour of the Brazilian
cause. It is a domestic affair between father and son, and be-
tween a Sovereign and his subjects, and that therefore neither
France nor England will be a party to the quarrel.—(British
Monitor, May 16.)
Captain PARRY left Mr. GRAHAM'S, Regent..
street, at nine o'clock yesterday moreing, in a
coach and four, accompanied by his brother, Dr.
PARRY, of Bath, and Josx. lifaicrixeAu, Esq.
of Stamford-hill, to join the Discovery ships at
the Nore. The officers and crew of the llecla
and Fury will be paid tick wages to-morrow at
the Fiore, from which place the ships are ex-
pected to sail on the following day for the Ork-
neys. The Griper, Captain LYON, is to sail
from Deptford on the l st of next month.
THE THEATRE.—The audience were again
disappointed on Saturday last at Drury-Lane
Theatre by the illness of Mr. MuNDEN, who was
to ha►e performed Old Rapid in A Cure for the
Heart-dche, but was disabled by a sudden attack
of the gout.—Mr. ARCIIErs came forward before
the Play commenced, and read a brief statement
of the circumstance, requesting the indulgence of
the audience for Mr. LISTON, who had under-
taken the part. This apology was well
received, but in a few moments after a
Gentleman arose in the Pit, and addressing
the audience, observed, that, in consequence
of the frequency of such disappointments,
a medical certificate should be produced to prove
the indisposition of Mr. Mumoex, of whom he
spoke with respect as an old friend. The gentle-
man was applauded, but no further notice was
taken. The gentleman was reported to be Mr.
FOLLIOTT, of Chester, a well-known public-
spirited character in that city. The Play then
proceeded, and LISTOx brought forward so much
of his original humour in the whimsical and be-
nevolent old Tailor that the whole went off with
spirit and applause.

Report sa;s that a new Piece, derived from
the novel of St. Ronan': Well, written by " the
Great Unknown," has been rejected by the
Managers, because of some Performers having
refused the parts that had been allotted to teem.
If so, it appears that the Managers have Ma-
nagers, and are afraid to exact foyfeitures for
such refusals, lest they should occasion sudden

Mr. IlicitaAny, it is said, intends to renounce
the Stage, probably for the Church, as he is
said to be well qualified by scholastic attain-
ments. It is not surprising that any Actor or
Actress should be desiroas of quitting their pro-
fession as they are constantly exposed, like cocks
on Shrove-Tuesday, to the attacks of ignorant
and brutal Critics in the Public Prints, several of
whom are utterly destitute of that judgment and
taste which arise from experience, and some of
whom have partialities which induce them to sa.
crifice any rival to their favourites.
Mr. BRAnAin has been blamed, or rather ridi-
culed, for not accepting 10,0001. for a trip to
America. But why should he separate from his
family when he is already independent, and by
his talents can probably raise as much during
the same period, without exposing himself to the
hazards of an uncertain element, and the sacrifice
of all domestic enjoyments and amicable con-
nections, where his abilities are admired and his
character esteemed?

The Duke of BEDFORD is so much recovered
from his late severe attacks, as to be able to ride
out on horseback. The Marquis of TAvisTocK
is also an invalid. His Lordship is suffering un-
der an inward complaint, occasioned by over ex-
ertion, in having, after a protracted discussion
in the House of Commons, travelled to his seat
in Bedfordshire; and then joining the chase, in-
stead of taking necessary rest.

THE KING, &c.
ixnson, MAY 16.—yesterday afternoon, at twenty
Minutes after four o'clock, the KING, accompanied by Sir Mr.
Knighton, left the Castle in his travelling carriage for Carlton
Palace, and attended by Outriders and an escort of Royal Horse
Guards. It is expected his Majesty will return to Windsor on
Friday or Saturday next.—The weather being unfavourable,
there were no Bands on the Terrace this day.—On Friday

Sir new banners were received at
St. George's Chapel from the Ileralds' Office, to be placed
over the Stalls of tile following Knights of the most Honour-
able and Noble Order of the Garter Most Gracious Ma-
jesty, as Sovereign of the Order; King of Portugal, King of
Denmark, the Marquis of Cholmondeley, the Marquis of Hert-
ford, and the Marquis of Bath. On Friday morning the King's
banner was sent to the Castle for his inspection, when
his Majesty was most graciously pleased to signify his
approbation of the same. The banner is most splendidly
embroidered on velvet—the
quarterings of England on a
crimson ground.—Scotland on yellow and gold—lreland on
purple—the Hanoverian horse in the centre is of silver. The
helmet is surmounted by the Imperial Crown, with the British
Lion as the crest, richly gilt. On Friday the banners were
placed over the respective stalls, under the superintendence of
Sir G. Nayler, Garter King at 4rms, who arrived at the Castle
on Thursday, for that purpose. His Majesty's banner is on
the right as you enter the Chapel, which is so richly em-
broidered that it was requisite to be supported with a cast iron
rod ; The King of Portugal's on the right of his Majesty's;
the King of Denmark's on the left; and those of the Marquises
of Cholmondeley, Hertford, and Bath, at the bottom of the
Chapel, each with their armorial and heraldic bearings.
