YESTERDAY forenoon an uncommonly full attend-
ance of Bankers and Monied Men took place in
Do•wning_street, at the CHANCELLOR'S of the Ex_
CHEQUER. The Governor and Deputy Governor

The Exchequer Bills issued payable on the loth
Instalment, to be taken on the 9th, that is, in the
December payment, as there are only nine Instal-

men t s.

We understand that the CHANCELLOR. of the Ex.
crltQtr ER stated, that he proposed to consolidate
the old and the new Sinking Fund of One per Cent.
,and that they should be made applicable, at Com:
pound Interest, to the Payment of the whole Na-
tional Debt, without the Limitation of the former
at 4.,00p,0001. in Interest, as it now stands. The
-etfea of this new Measure, if adopted, will be to
avoid the necessity of laying on the Public Taxes to
the amount of nearly 900,0001., and of redeeming
the whole Debt in a shorter i,eriod than by apply-
ing the Funds for that purpose, as they are now
direeted to be applied. There is a power in the
AO: which enables Government to make this altera-

tion.

IVIr. ADDI NGTON reserved tie power of issuing
Exchequer Bills not exceeding 5,000,c001. should
it he necessary.

The Proposals, or Biddings, are to be given in on
Monday next, before ten o'clock in die morning,

This morning we tweived Paris journals to !fie
2Sth ult. inclusive.---It is stated in the Gazette de
Franre, on the authority of a private Letter from
St. Domingo, of the t9th February, that General
LECLERC had defeated TOUSSAI Nr, and made him-
self master of his Camp.

The French Funds have rather fallen since the
publication of the Treaty of Peace. On the 26th
ult. the Tiers Consol. was at 57. 50. ; and on the
27th, the day of the publication of the Treaty, it
fell to 57.
There were grand Illuminations at Paris on oc-
casion of the Definitive Treaty of Peace.
By Letters from the Hague, of the zoth ult. it
appears that the Dutch Funds had risen consider-
ably upon the certain prospeCl of Peace.

We yesterday gave to the Public the Definitive
Treaty of Peace, but as it was a translation from
the French copy, the French Republic was placed
before the other Powers concerned in the Negotia-
tion. YVe had occasion to explain this point before,
wh,2.ii the Preliminaries were signed, the French
copy of which was the one first published here.
It is the official etiquette, that each copy of a
Treaty has the name of the particular Power first
described for whom the copy is designed. When
the Definitive Treaty is officially published here,
it will be found, as we have before explained, that
this is the general practice.
The Illuminations were partially repeated on
• Tuesday night ; but the grand and final one will
take place on the day of the Proclamation of Peace,
which may be in about three weeks hence.

The Piirk and Tower Guns will not be fird till
the Ratification of the Definitive Treaty shall ar-
rive here.

Lord WH TWORTH is making every necessary
preparation, for his speedy departure for France.
MISS ADDINGTON, we were happy to perceive,
was yesterday well enough to take an airing in
Hyde Park. •
It was the Bishop of NORWICH, „and not -the
Bishop of W [NC if EST ER, as stated by mistake, who
performed the ceremony of baptism at Chesterfield_
house on Tuesday evening.
Lord fIuTcHINSON'S health, it is stated by the
last letters from Malta, is considerably amended,.
but his Lordship means to pass some time in Sicily.
The intended Naval Promotion, it is now sup_
posed, %s ill. very soon be announced.
•Lord CLIVE, we understand, soon comes home
from Madras.
The Court ofDiredors of the East India Com-
pany have resolved to increase the number of extra
ships to be sent to India this season, by the addi-
tion of two ships, making in the whole iz ships.
The Cuffnells, Captain COTTON, and the Neptupe,
Captain REDD; E, are ordered to be in the Downs
on the 2jd inst. being the last regular China ships
to be dispatched this season.

'THE ORATOR success which attends the
Oratorios, at Covent Garden Theatre, is the pro-
per tribute to their merit. The Selection from
HANDEL last night was judiciously chosen, and ex-
quisitely performed. The prominent excellence
was, '' Oh ! lovely Peace," which was most de-
lightfully warbled by Mrs. BILLINGTON and BRA-
HAM ; " Together let us range the fields," by the
same Performers ; and " Pious Orgies," by Mrs.
BILLINGTON. The audience were vehement in
their applause, which was amply deserved.
The Opera on TueSday night, was La Schola di
Maritati, with the ever-pleasini Music of MAR-
TINI. The Duo Buffo, in particular, was much ap-
plauded and encored ; V I Nees Song was also well
received and encored. M. GIRAUD made his third
appearance in the &Het of Irza, and displayed a
great deal of activity and power of Eatrechat ; it
would, perhaps, be as well for this Dancer, if ,he
was to do less, and finish more perfectly what he
does. There is in the language of Mr. BaowN,
great capability in his means, if he would but bring
them into execution in the best way.
An unfortunate and melancholy circumstance took
place on Fi iday last, on board His Majesty's Ship
Bata'vier, at the Nore. The Master's Mate of the
Ship, going on the forecastle, discovered the Cap_
rain's Cook, a black man, hanging by his neck on
the bobstays, when, in his eagerness. to free him
from his dreadful situation, he cut the rope, and the
man fell in the water, and a strong flood-tide run-
ning ar the time, he was never aftecwards seen.
The unfortunate man had attempted to comknit
this rash aft early in the morning, but was di'co-
.vered by some.of the crew, who took every posslble
means to prevent him froui the commission of it,
for which no oust' can be assigned.
