BANK of the UNITED STATES, March 5.
At a meeting of the Board of Directors, held this
day, Mr. Eyre, from the committee on the offices, pre-
sented the following report, which was read
" The committee on the offices having now ascer-
tained, by an experience of several months, the pro-
gress in the reduction in the business of the Bank,
ordered by the Board on the Bth of October last, avail
themselves of the monthly returns from the Bank and
all its offices, made up for the month of March, to
present a statement of those reductions.
" The design of the Board in directing them was
to protect the institution, and to provide the means of
paying the deposits of the Government so as to press
with as little injury as possible on the community.
How far that purpose has been accomplished will be
seen from the following statement of the amount of
loans, deposits, specie, and circulation of the Bank,
from the Ist of! October, 1833, to the Ist of March,
1834."
( Here follows a tabular statement, in figures, which
is not material for the general reader, as it is summed
up below. )
" The general results of the operations of the Bank
during the last five months have been—
" 1. That the reduction of the loans has not been
by upwards of four millions of dollars as great as the
reduction of deposits ; and
" 2. That the withdrawal of nearly eight millions
of dollars, of those funds on which the Bank has
based its accommodations to the community, has not
yet been followed by a reduction of accommodations
equal to one-half of the amount of funds thus with-
drawn.
"3. That from the Ist of January to the Ist of
March the increase in the line of domestic bills
amounted to nearly two millions and a half of dollars.
" 4. That during the same period there has been an
actual increase in the total loans of the Bank of
1,256,368 d. 16c.
" The committee cannot regret the smallness of this
reduction during the last five months, nor even the ac-
tual increase of its loans since the Ist of January, be-
cause both have arisen from the strong desire of the
Bank to give every relief to the community consistent
with its own safety. But they cannot forbear to ex-
press their deliberate conviction that these reductions
are much less than are required for its security during
the present unsettled state of the currency ; and that
it has now become the duty of the Bank, gently, but
steadily, to diminish the amount of the claims upon it
by continuing to lessen its business."
" Whereupon, on the motion of Mr. Newkirk, the
following resolution was unanimously adopted :
" Resolved, That as much misapprehension appears
to exist throughout the country in regard to the reduc-
tion of the loans of the Bank since the removal of the
public deposits, the foregoing report be published for
general information."

SINGAPORE, NOV. 16.—The annual state-
ments of the trade of Singapore for the official year
ending the Ist of May, 1833, having been completed,
we have obtained permission to publish them. The
total value of imports amounted, according to the
statement published, to the important sum of 9,101,179
dollars, including the trade with Malacca and Penang,
while the Exports amounted to 7,593,190 dollars in
like manner. Exclusive of the trade with these two
places, the increase in the imports by square-rigged
vessels alone appears to have reached the sum of
262,794 dollars, and that by native vessels to 389,406,
making a total increase of 652,200 dollars in the im-
ports, after deducting the decrease. In the exports by
square-rigged vessels there was a decrease of 36,876
dollars, but an increase in those by native craft to the
amount of 318,062 dollars.

LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 3, 1834.

The French Papers of Tuesday state, that
the report that the hand of the Princess MARY,
daughter of Louis PHILIP, had been de-
manded in marriage by Prince LEOPOLD of
Naples, has proved to be correct. The nuptials
are to take place next June. By intelligence
from Spain, which had reached Paris up to the
26th ult., Madrid was in a state of tranquillity.
The Earl of DURHAM and the entire corps
fliplomatique had been invited by Count Pozzo
DI BORGO to a grand entertainment given by
him at his hotel yesterday. The Spanish Go-
vernment were reported to have decided on send-
ing into Portugal the succours requested by Don
PEDRO, and that the Austrian, Russian, and
Prussian Ambassadors at Madrid had en-
tered a protest against this resolution. Louis
PHILIP and his Ministers were still active
in their prosecutions of the press, the editor of
the Tribune newspaper having been condemned
to a fine of twenty-four thousand francs, and
five years' imprisonment, for a seditious libel.
The proposed reductions in the French army
were said to have created much dissatisfaction
at Paris.

By all -accounts, France seems now to be
recovering from the astonishment, not to say
panic, occasioned by the law against associa-
tions. Protests against this most tyrannic law
are getting up in all quarters. Even the re-
motest provinces are catching the infection of
the general discontent at Paris. Unless,
therefore, Louis PHILIP be prepared to follow
up his schemes for muzzling freedom through-
out the kingdom by some extraordinary show of
energy, his bill will be but so much waste
paper. It would not surprise us to learn that
Lord DURHANI's mission had an immediate
reference to the associations' law ; for never
did the
somehoKnein of
st,
intelligent,FßANc FRANCE stand
andi more
ntrepi in n
d eed of
counsellor
to advise with him in his present desperate
emergency. If he imagines that his association
law will procure him the esteem and support of
the three despotic Powers, he will find that
he has been sailing on a wrong tack throughout.
He has given them far too much trouble, put
them to far too many serious expenses, to be ever
forgiven by the Legitimatists, or acknowledged
by them as one of their set. Russia, indeed,
may put a plausible face on the matter, and enter
into a sort of hollow truce with him for a time ;
but it will be only for a time, while her- plans
with respect to Turkey are maturing. We look
upon Louis PHILIP as being just now in
precisely the same desperate condition that
CHARLES the TENTH was previous to the pro-
mulgation of the ordinances. It is " neck or
nothing" with the throne of the barricades and
the juste milieu Ministry ; just as it was with
the throne of the restoration and the Polignac
Government. CHARLES attempted to save
himself by a coup d'etat, and Louis is having
recourse to the same remedy.

Brussels papers of the 2d instant have been
received. The marching and counter-marching
of troops seems to take up a large portion of
their space, but the description of which pos-
sesses so little interest for our readers, especially

as it leads no positive result. The following
may serve as a specimen :----
BRUSSELS, APRIL I.—An English Cabinet 'Messen-
ger passed through Brussels yesterday evening, on his
way from Vienna to London, with despatches. M.
Willox (a Belgian Cabinet Messenger) set out yegter-
day, with despatches, for Germany. The son of
Earl Grey arrived on the 29th at Ostend by the packet
from Dover. General Magran has arrived in Ghent
from Paris. The battalions of the 11th Regiment are
leaving the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg for Namur.
The corps of partisans of 800 men has arrived from
Luxemburg at Namur, where it will remain in garrison
for the present. The 2d and 3d battalions of
the Ist Regiment arrived yesterday at Namur, and set
out to-morrow for Liege, and are to remain there in
garrison. The 2d battalion of the 4th Regiment,
now at Liege, will leave it on the 2d April. Three
battalions of the 2d Regiment, now at Ghent, have
received orders to depart ; only one battalion of the
Regiment will remain in that city.
A letter from Luxemburg, relating the departure of
the troops from that province, says," The Russian
brigade of Luxemburg is definitively broken up, after
having come to our province to prove only more clearly
the weakness of a Ministry which has declared that it
can do nothing of itself. We chiefly pity the poor
soldiers fatigued by these marches and countermarches,
who have performed an harassing duty in looking, at
a distance, on the limits insolently fixed by the Prus-
sian-General. _ _ _

( From the Messager de Gand.)
GHENT APRIL 1.-" Nobody is deceived by the
pretended reasons assigned to the mission of Count
Reede and the German envoys to the Duke of Nassau.
It is now known that they are gone to receive from the
Duke his authentic declaration, or rather protest,
against any alienation of the Grand Duchy; a docu-
ment which is indispensably necessary to the Congress
at Vienna, or to the Diet of the Confederation, that
either of those assemblies may found on this formal
act the decision which will re-annex the Grand Duchy
to the German Confederation."

The Suabian Mercury contains the follow-
ing particulars of what the Congress at Vienna
have been deliberating upon. The 4th section
appears to us as destructive of the rights of
property as well as legislative freedom ; but
what can we expect from the meridian of.
Vienna ? It will be a day of glorious retribution
that shall wrest from these continental despots
the rights they arrogate to themselves,—and that
day may not be so distant as Prince METTER-
NICH and the Autocrat of Russia would believe.
The very first continental war—arise from what
it may—or be undertaken for whatever purpose,
is sure to set up the standard of political eman-
cipation throughout Germany, Italy, aye and
along the plains of Poland, till Russia tremble
to her very centre. Then may the Turk look
round and break his fetters on the banks of
the Bosphorus : .

MANHIEM.-We have received from Vienna some
gleams of light upon the deliberations of the Congress
that we gladly communicate to the friends of our con-
stitution; Ist, the constitutions of the German
States will remain in their actual condition ;
their vices may be amended by justice. 2d. No reduc-
tion of the states in the provincial states is to be ap-
prehended. 3d. The princes and the governments re-
tain their sovereignty and independence required for
themselves and their boundary, and they will not be able
to proceed by way of regulations, so as to oppose
themselves as confederates, and bring into collision the
confederation and the organic constitution of the coun-
try. 4th. The States will no longer have the rights
they have recently arrogated, and that are not com-
promised in the charters ; rights, for example, which
consist in rejecting the ordinances and provisional
laws in refusing the taxes, in diminishing, or entirely
suppressing the Civil List, the provisions to be made
for the expenses of the State, &c., and at the same
time it must not be believed that they are not to exa-
mine the budget.—Manheim Gazette.
LOWER DANUBE, MARCII 13.—The evacuation of
the principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia by the
Russian troops has, it is true, recently experienced
delay ; but we learn, from a source that may be relied
upon, that the causes of this delay are in nowise con-
nected with politics. It is the scarcity of corn and
forage in the provinces of the interior and the south of
Russia that is the sole cause of this delay. It is ex-
pected that the evacuation will be effected before
June.—Suabian Mercury.

We have news from Rome which will be read
with wonder, if not consolation, by our worthies
at home, who are in tribulation at the forthcoming
scrutiny into the Pension List. Lo I and
behold, even the POPE has become a reformer,
and has set his face against unmerited pensions.
Can Mr. DANIEL WHITTLE HARVEY WiSh
for higher authority to countenance him in his
meritorious labours ? After this, we think there
is hope for even,NICHOLAS

ROME, MARCH 18.-2-The Pope has given orders for
a general revisal of all the branches of the public
revenue and expenditure ever since the year 1817. It
is supposed that the validity of various pensions, &c.,
granted during this period will be inquired into, and
many of such claims will be struck out as illegal, which
would be a great relief to our dilapidated finances.
His Holiness has received the visit of the Queen of
Naples, and has bestowed on Cardinal Bunette the
highest honour that a Cardinal can receive. The new
special court of justice for political affairs has pro-
nounced its first sentence. Among the persons con-
demned is a lawyer, who had written against religion.
He is sentenced to the galleys for three years, and to
twenty years' inquisitorial imprisonment. Recourse
to the mercy of the Pope is still open to him.

Our spring is delightful.
VIENNA, MARCH 21.—Baron Von Newman has left
this city on an extraordinary mission to the Duke of
Nassau.—Allgemeine Zeitung, March 28.

The Dissenters 'are a persevering, as well as
intelligent and zealous, body of men, and the
clergy will do well to promote the speedy re-
dress of their grievances. The longer this is
delayed, the more extensive will be their de-
mands. This is evident from what has oc-
curred with

the time of the Second CHARLES to the re-
peal of the Test Acts, the Dissenters have been
connected with the RUSSELLS, the GREYS,
and the SPENCERS. Mr. Fox took up their
cause when they were abandoned by Mr. PITT
(whom they assisted in breaking up the Coali-
tion Ministry), and when even Mr. WILBER-
FORCE spoke and voted against them. When
Lord Si Dm ouTH craftily attempted their over-
throw, they found eager and eloquent defenders
in Lords ERSKINE, HOLLAND, and GREY.
