American Papers to the Bth of December are re-
ceived, but they contain nu intelligence of import-

ante.

The Kentucky Ga=ette, printed :It Lexington, in
noticing the report of a Protest being entered by the
Spanish Minister against the taking possession of
Louisiana, states, " that from undoubted authority
they are enabled to assert, that no Protest whatever
had been lodged:"
Under the head New Orleans, we find the fol-
lowing paragraph in the New-York Paper : "We
learn by Captain INGERsoL, who is atrived in
twenty-eight days from New Orleans, that the
French Prefed had taken the Fort M..Teheny,
',elonging to the KINa, with the intention of deli-
vering them up to the Americans. The President
has nominated to the Senate ABRAHAM VENABLr,
of Virginia, to be Governor of Louisiana.
The Philadelphia True American contains the
following paragraphs :
" understand, from good authority, that
the French Government has placed in the hands
of M. PictioN, Charge d'Affaires of the French
Republic, two millions of francs, which is nearly
equal to 4€0,000 dollars, for the use of St. Do- •
mingo ; and that M. MAGNITOT, the Prefed of the
Colony, has the exclusive right to draw to that ,
amount on M. PICHON.

,4 We likewise learn, that, for the purpose of
supplying St. Domingo with money in future, the
Cashier of the Public Treasury in Paris, M.Co R NV,
will draw upon himself at twenty days sight, and
his bills will be sent to the Colonial Prefect. It is
stated that funds will always be placed in advance,
to meet these bills."

VoLustr la CORPS FINES.-On Friday last the
Unifortn, Furniture, &c. with the silver spoons, le.
vied on Mr. Thomas Dowley, of Willow. street,
Bankside, were sold for the sum of 51. tss. such
sum being incurred by his non.attendance at certain
drills and musters, as a Private in the Sou:hwark
Yeoman Cavalry, commanded by Captain CoL LI NO-
DON. He had previous notice they were to be sold
on that day, but he allowed them to be sold to the
best bidder. A notice is given, that the merits of
this momentous decision and seizure will be brought
before the Court of King's Bench in the shape of an
action for an illegal distraint.
On Sunday the Ist inst. the Stratford-on-Avon
Regiment of Loyal Volunteers, consisting of up-
wards of 24.0 men, under the command of the Mar-
quis of Hi:xi-Pomo, appeared on parade at St tat.
turd in full unit trm, and alter having been inspeded
by their Noble Commandant, they marched to
Church, accompanied by the Mai (Nis and the rest
of their Officers. The Rev. Dr. DAVENPORT
(the:_ Cha9lain), gave a most excellent ..!iscourse on
the occasion, from the very appropriate text, 21
Chapter Ist Epistle of St. Peter, latter part 17th
verse, "tear Gud, honour the King." This vet y
fine body of men made a most soldier-like ap-
pearance, and since their enrolment, a period
of four months, have by a ready and constant at-
tention, endeavoured to render themselves a useful
and elle:dive Corps fur the service of their King and
Country.
The St. James's Volunteers mustered yesterday
about one o'clock, in the Duke of PORTLAND'S
Court-yard, in Piccadilly, and from thence pro-
ceeded to Hyde Park, where they had a field-day.
The Corps was commanded by Major Down, in
the absence of the Colonel, Lord Atoll EitsT, who
was not in Town. About 800 members were pre-
sent. After firing five rounds, the muskets becarro:
useless from the rain. The Corps did not quit the
ground till four o'clock.
The Doke of GLotICESTER's Volunteers assem-
bled yesterday at their parade, about twelve o'clock,
in dress uniform, and afterwards had a field-day.
The Windsor Volunteers have received written
orders to hold themselves in readiness to do duty at
the Castle, in case of the removal of the Staffordshire
Militia from Windsor.

Lord flAtaturoN, on Sunday morning, inspetled
the Watford And Stanmore Volunteers on Stanmore
Common, after which they fired several rounds with
ball cartridges, and concluded with charging with the
bayonet.

On Friday last Colonel CovriN inspeBed, at
Hitchin, Captain HATE'S Troop of the Hertford_
shire Yeomanry Cavalry, and the Corps of Hitchin
Volunteer Infantry commanded by Major Wit,.
SHE . The frost prevented the liorse from prac-
tising many evolutions ; but the anearanLe and
appointment of the Troop are very respectable.
The Infantry went through the usual ruaruvres
with steadiness and accuracy, and were highly ap-
proved by the Inspecting Field-Officer.
A Portsmouth Paper says, " We. have just seen
a letter from an English Gentleman who has lately
made his escape from Fouritainbleau, and remained
boldly at Paris a fortnight, by means of a national
cockade, and a perfcel knowledge of the language,
from whence he is now returning via Germany.
lie says " from the information I was able to col.
lei at Paris, that city is in a great ferment, on
account of i3oNAt. AR T fi'S measures to gratify his am.
bition. The conscripts are telradory. The old
veterans speak against the Expedition, and say that
they would not embark to be bo!cliered. The Con-
sul is not liked : he has thousands of enemies ; and
I think the opposition will shortly shew itself. Mur-
murs and cotnpbtints multiply, and arrestations are
very frequent. It is the opinion of the wiser part of
the people still, that the Expect Lion will not take
place. Nothing is ready; and all that large Army on
the coast is only placed there to intimidate the Eng_
lish, if I may use the expression. They are still build-
ing Gun-boats at New Brisac or: :he Rhine, but
very slowly."..

At.tittotion rite most diligent search has E,!.:n
tt'aking after the villains who hustled and robb.ml
a Clerk of Messrs LIANt:i:fL-Rq.tY'S; of Okford
bank-notes to the ntriffittlf (if. several thol'A,ln.;
pounds, at the corner of Fleet.market, abnii
twelve months since, the robbers have not been
brought to punishment. The Proprietors have
traced numbers of the notes stolen to have be-ri
in circulation in different parts of the cotintre. A
short time since a young man of the name of Ben rct
was taken into custody at Litchfield, on a charge
of circulating several of the notes, and
went several examintions, hut the Witnesses
failing to prove that he came improperly, possess.
ed of them, he was discharged. About a month
since, Feltner was taken into custody, and carried
before the LORD MAYOR, when his Lordship
sent him on board the Tender. This cireuin-
stance being made known to Anthony, the Bow.
street Officer, he traced Beamer from the Tender
to the Incoknant Frigate at the N ,re, and after a
long conversation with him, he found that he was
inclined to give up the whole of his connexion
respeding the Oxford Bank.notes, provided he wait
liberated from on board the ship. Hiving obtain-
ed his &charge, he confessed that he passed nom.
hers of the Oxford Bank-notes at Warwirk,Birming...
harn, Weyhill Fair, and various other; places, all
of which he had received from a man of the name
of Thomas Barnsley, who had given him half their
amount for uttering them. In consequence of this
information, Anthony made every possible exertion
to find Barniky, but could not find him out in Lon-
don; but this being the Bath season, ire had strong
suspicion he was there, fur the purpose of committing
depredations. He accordingly
went to that Cite, ant
on the night of his at rival there he went to the Bixes
of the Theatre, where he had been hut R short time
before he met B 7rnsky, who immedietely confessed
to the officer, he suipected that he was come for him,
and was going to treat him with a journey to Lon-
don, which the officer acknowledged, and took hart
into custody. Yesterday morning he was brought
before Sir RICHARD FORD, :It this Office, when
Bennet repeated the account he had given to theofficer.
Townsend, Sayer, and several of the 017.cers recog..
nixed the Prisoner to be one of the most notorious,
London street-hustlers and pickpockets, and that he
aced with Conn-olli's desperate gang; likewise that
he had been convicted several tunes, and had been
transported to Botany Bay.—The Prisoner- was
committed for further examination.

A few days ago, M ij,ir DE LANCET, atpury
avarter-Master-General for :he District of the City.
,t York, bring out. in Holderness, surveying the
country., and taking sketches along the coast, was
observed by several of the peasantry, end not being
in regimentals, they set him dawn (to use the lan.
gu,ige of a)gberry) as a spy. 1- ronSequeoce of
this they .urrounded and made him prisoner a:
se, ; and it was not. until after they had taken him
to Patrington, that he was able to convince them of
their mistake.

A cimskierable number of D have been sent
from the Bank to the Mint to be stamped, and will
soon be in circulation, as from the great scarcity of
silver and small gold, a very great inconvenience is
felt among the retail dealers, who are much distress.
ed to procure change even for small Bank Notes.

The Vice-Chancaor of the 'University of Cam-
brilge, and the Ma';ters of Trinity and St. J ,hn's
Colleges, the 'Trustees of the Estates left by the
late Rev. JoHN HULSE, have given notice, that a
Premium of Forty Pounds will this year be given
Cr, the best Dissertation on the following subjra :
—" The Ex:crna! Evidences of the Truth of the
Chf stian Religion."

The tesselated pavement, discovered by the vv-ric.
men digging opposite tae East India House, has ex-
cited a considzrable degree of curiosity among the
Antiquarians. On clearing away the earth some
very curious Roman figures have been discovered,
inserted in the pavement, which must have been
the work of great patience and art. The concourse
.of people has been so great to see this curiosity,
that it has been thought expedient to ere& a paling
around it, until it is explored. The general
nion is, that it is the flooring of some former
splendid Roman mansion, as it i 3 no more than ten
teet below the surface of the street.
Great depredations have lately been committed
upon the Fisheries in the Rivers South and North
Tyne. The Duke of NOP. Tll UMB E R LAND and the
other Proprietors arc, in consequence, taking cf.
fedual measures to protest their property-. •

The Westminster Sessions, which eins,ct nn
turday, producei no cases of the smallest imporLance
or interest. An impudent fellow, of the nime of
Kirby, who was charge] with defrauding a trades-
man of some bacon and Chee6C, in the course of his
trial, exclaimed—
., What 1 do you thiol,7, that I, Bob Kirby, who has been a
" Sailor, man and boy, for sixteen years, possessed of a free—
" hold of 701. a year, a pensioner at Grz,:awich Hospital,
" and now prevented from fitting out His Majesty's Elects
" by being made prisoner by a Cheelcmr,gcr, would tell a lie r
" No, by all the battles I have fought, [ would not, to save
" tne from sinking l"

Nothing, however, appearing to warrant his in.
nocence, the Jury found him guilty ; and the Court
sentenced him to one mouth's imprisonim7nr, and a
whipping from Charing.cross to Par!iarnenr-street.
The Priso.ler appeared extremely indignant, and, as
he was led from the Bar, exclaimed—
" By Javis it is an unjust sentence, I am an honest man
" an.t a Lf.,t/e.wan."'

Sunday evening, about half-past nine O'clock, as
ail apprentice to Mr. Charlston, of Red_►ion_street,
was returning from his friends at tioxtorr, he w:is
attacked in Wilderres-row, St. John's-street, by
a gang of twelve or fourteen villains, who struck
him on the head and knocked him down, took from
him his hat and a small bundle, containing some few
articles tf wearing apparel, ar_d trade off towards
Old street.
