Usual employment, suddenly, and apparently without any ex-

The following are the only articles in the
Foreign Journals worth extracting :
[From the Moniteur of Saturday, March 20.]

114muri, MAncu 9.---M. Perez Juana, one of the newly
appointed Members of the Criminal Tribunal at Madrid, has
just set out for Toledo, accompanied by a French force, with
the order 3 of the Government, to relcase from the prisons of that
city a great number of individuals, who have been languishing
in. confinement for these nine months, without any other crime
than the will of some persons, who, by their own authority,
had them taken to prison, saying they were negroes. It is proper
to observe, that this resolution to release these persons was
taken by the Government some months ago, but that the
various orders which it has sent to the Corregidor of Toledo,
to execute it, have always been eluded, because he said, " the
lives of the prisoners would be endangered on account of the
hatred which the people cherish of every thing that is liberal."
In this city, as well as others, we begin to feel the effects of
the late Decrees for the farming of the salt cod, the augmenta-
tion of the price of tobacco, salt, &c.
The Etoile, elated Sunday, contains a letter from his Ma-
jesty to the Archbishop of Paris, desiring him to have public
prayers read, to implore Divine Providence to cause wisdom
and moderation to direct the important deliberations of the
Chambers that are going to open; he is also to celebrate a so.
lemn mass of the Holy Ghost, at which the Princes of the
Royal Family, the Peers, and Deputies, will attend.

Gyre-, Twelve o'Clock.—Consols opened at
94i for the Account, got up to 94-U, but soon
after lowered again to SA, and for Money 934,
with little business doing, and a heavy Market.—
Up to this hour no Express has arrived from
Paris. The New Insurance Shares have expe-
rienced a great fluctuation since yesterday. They
opened this morning at 20, and are this moment
done at 17 to 171. They have fallen since yes-
terday 5 per Cent. The cause is not exactly
known as yet. There are late Letters from Rio
Janeiro by the Mail, but I do not hear that they
bring any news.

FOIAIIGN MARKET.--Spanish Bonds appear to
maintain their price, and a good purchase was
made in the earlier part of the morning. All
other Foreign Securities seem heavy.
Half-past Twelve.—The New Insurance Shares
have just risen again to 1814.

In the House of Commons, last night, the
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER consented to a

very important modification of the projected re-
peal of the bounties on Linens. The repeal, in-
stead of being immediate, is not to commence
until the 25th of January next year ; and even
then only one tenth part of the bounties will be
taken off, and a further tenth will he sub-
tracted annually, so that the total repeal
will only be effected at the conclusion of
eleven years ! This is certainly softening the
blow to the Linen Manufacturers, and may,
as we hope it will, have the effect of obviating
many of the evils expected to result from the
measure. Even in its present altered shape,
however, the project will continue to be warmly
opposed, and is still liable to most serious ob-
jections. A Meeting, we observe by the Irish
papers received this morning, has been held
of the County of Cork (the High Sheriff in the
Chair), at which Resolutions were passed ex-
pressive of great alarm at the proposition to
repeal the Linen Bounties, and a Committee of
appointed to watch over the
interestsGnetlme Gentlemen
was
teauslanufacture, and the progress of
the measure by which it is threatened. We shall
to-morrow insert a Petition to Parliament pre-
pared by the Committee and adopted by the
Meeting.—The CHAXCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
last night also made a further concession to the
Retail Silk Trade, by enlarging the description of
goods, as stock on hand, which will be entitled to
a drawback of the duty. The Right Hon. Gentle-
mans however,perseveres in the design of throwing
open the British Market to Foreign Manufactured
Silks, from and after the sth of July, 1826 ; apd
unless, therefore, the Bill shall be lost in the
House of Lords, or unless some new light shall
burst upon Parliament in the course of the en-
suing two years and a quarter, the fate of the
Silk Manufacture may be considered as decided.

Our former intelligence of the complete reco-
♦ery of the Emperor of Russia is fully confirmed
by recent accounts from Petersburgh.
From Leipsic we learn that trade is in a state
of great stagnation, but is expected to be revived
by a law just published, which considerably re-
duces the mercantile duties, and gives particular
facilities to the transit trade.

WILLIAM CLAY, ESQ.—We are sorry to state
the death of this Gentleman, which took place
on Sunday morning, at his house in Gower-street.
Ile was from home, among a party of friends, on
the preceding Thursday, and retired in good
health, hut was taken ill the following day, and,
though his medical attendants entertained hopes
of his recovery, the melancholy event occurred at
the time above stated. He was advanced in life,
but seemed to possess a firm constitution, though
occasionally troubled with gout. lie was
intelligent, glacial, and cheerful, with a good
understanding, great knowledge of the world,
and a varied store of anecdotes. lie re-
tained his faculties and companionable qualities

Yesterday morning the
Earl-- of ~LINCARTY,
his family, and suite, arrived in town from his
Embassy at the Netherlands, which office the
Noble Earl has filled since the elevation of the
House of Orange. The Noble Earl proceeded

The Waterloo East Indianian, which has ar-
rived in the Channel, left Canton on the 9th of
December. This is a remarkable short voyage.
Amity with the Chinese was perfectly restored.
CADIZ, MARCH I.—An armed vessel, under
Colombian colours, has chased aSpanish schooner
hack into the harbour, which had sailed for the
Havannah. The Colombian cruizer was in sight
this morning. She is a long schooner.
DRESDEN, MARCH 6.—The Privy Councillor,
Baron VOW JUST, Minister Plenipotentiary from his Majesty
to the Court of Great Britain, who lately arrived from London,
died yesterday, at the age of 72 years. He has served the King
for above fifty years, and in the various important missions
with which he has been entrusted, especially in the capacity of
Minister at Paris and London, he rendered important services
and acquired general esteem by his probity, his penetration,
prudence, and zeal for the good of his country.
Mr. CANNING, we learn, has, in the most
prompt and humane manner, taken steps for the
immediate liberation of Mr. IVIATTnEws, the
English Gentleman who was arrested in com-
pany with 0* gallant Rico°, and thrown into
solitary confinement at Madrid. There is rea-
son to believe that on this, as on other occa-
sions, the British Government has met with some
lincivility from the Spanish Ministry, which is
likely to become the subject of remonstrance.-

There is no foundation whatever for the para-

Mr. YOUNG is now performing at Edinburgh,
