1t• is agsin rnmour4 d in the politics! circles, that Mr. Van-
ait'art 14 preparing to resign his office, and that his sitcceisor
*kill be Mr. Peel. We do not pledge ourselves to the accuracy
eV this report;lut we are inclined to think that there are
eircuutstances to warrant it.

[Morning Pmal
• BtrONAPARTIC.—Mr:Stc;Loe, Surgeon of the Cotiquernr, and
who succeeded Mr. O'Nleara as medical attendant to Napo-
leon, came home last week in the Trincomalee frigate, this
Gentleman also having had some dispute with Sir l-ludAnn
Lowe. Buonaparte is stated to have had a slight apoplectic
Et, and is in a had state of health.

In the course of the debates which took place in both Houses
last night, some of the Members of Opposition did justice to
the wisdom and foresight of the immortal Pitt for .the'
promptitude of his conduct in issuing upon his own re-
sponsibility the Order in Council by which cash pay-
ments by the Bank were prohibited. In doing this, how-
ever, they forgot that when the wise and salutary measure
alluded to was adopted, the Opposition opposed it, as
one of the most objectiotiable and ruinous expedients
ever had recourse to; but We shall not pretend to
lay that, in the spirit of l'arty, they would equally have
Opposed it now, had it been proposed by Ministers.
It is sufficient for our purpose that every year ren-
ders more and more the justice due to the transcendent
greatness, the unexampled talents, and the distinguished vir-
tues of that mosk wise and eminent Statesman, whose name
must ever he held dear by his country, in whose service be
sacrificed his itivaltsa.hle life, and for whose safety, prosperity,
sod glory, his last prayer was offered up to Heaven. With re-
erect to the time at which the Order of Council of 1797 was
issued, it seems to have been in a great degree forgotten by
some of the Members of the House of Lords. It most cer-
tainly took place during the sitting of Parliament, and the
fact was published on the very day when both Houses were
made joyful by the arrival of the intelligence of the ever-me-
morable-victory of our fleet off Cape St. VINICENr.—(Ibid)

[New Times.]

There has been much discussion in the House of Com-
:none about a person whom his friends think fit to call Ge-
tieral Gourgaud. We are not surprised at any impudent as-
auniPtions of rank by the revolutionary heroes; but. it rather
astonishes th; that their-assumed titles should be recognized
by persons who have no particular respect for Revolution.
The individ .al in question is one Gaurgatat, nephew to the
Comedian Dugazon. Certainly the nephew of a Comedi
may be a very honourable man; but Gourgault does not ap-
pear to have added, any lustre to his descent by his personal
integrity. He became a Colonel of Artillery under Buona-
parte prior to 1814 ; and we do not blame him for that. In
1814 he retained the same rank in the Icing's service, but
remained unemployed till alrhut March 1815, when, by the
particular favour of the Duke of Berry, he obtained employ-
ment. Nevertheless, it is said that he was one of those who
prepared the return of Buonaparte front Elba. What is cer-
tain is, that no sootier' had Buonaparte re-usurped the Throne
of France, than he distinguished Colonel Gourgault by his
especial favour, and conferred on him the rank of General.
He has sine., however, confessed to Sir G.Coctsburn, that he
would have been willing to go over again from Buonaparte
to the Bourbons. It is self:evident, that ne fact which rests
on the mere word or oath of such a perjured rebel as.. this
deserves a moment's credit ; and as to his assumed rank, it
ii a strange inconsistency that any one who does not admit
Buonaparte to have been, during the Hundred Days, a
" legitimate Emperor," should recognise this turncoat as a
legitimate General." Do we recognise the military rank
of Generalliolt that fought at Vinegar Hill; or the naval
rank of .41;f2nira/ Parker who headed the mutiny at the Nore?

M. VON KOTZEBUE.

PA:Rill, MARCH St.—Letters from Germany 'announce that
the death of"M. Von Kutzelmei who fell wider the hand of a
fanatical assassin, has excited the greatest sensation. The
Minister of Russia at the Court of the Grand Duke of Baden
immediately dispatched a courier to Petershur;h with the
intelligence to his Sovereign. The other 'Ministers and
Charges d'Affaires at Carlsruhc showed the same eagerness to
send information to their respective Governments. The•ltli-
!lister of France transmitted the news to Paris by telegraph
from Strasburg. Private letters which I have received from
Carisruhe enable me to give some details which the public
journals-are not +emitted to mention, on account of the
censorship. The ass:issin,Chartes Louis Sand, aged 24, studied
theology first at Tubingen,Jood afterwards at Jena. After
having coMmitted the Crime, he cried out, " Thus will all
traitors to their country be punished." There was found

'The chief topic of ;liscossion List nigh.t in Par-
listnent; arose troth the
,Reports of the Bank
Cooonittees. We have often antic(' our protes%
against the resuipptiva of Cash raymeuts at th 4

Bank, under the present circumstances, and the
facts add acetllast night.folly jnstity our deprecation.
It appears that, in the limited- Cash Payments at
the Bank, from the first of January 11316 to the
first of January in the present year, the amount
was 4,5000001., and from the latter period to the
present 700,0001., making the whole drain of
specie from the Country amount, even in this re-
stricted payment, to .5,200,0001., all of which has
foond its way into France. It was, therefore, full
time to put a stop to this alarming evacuation of
specie, and Government deserve praise for the
rapidity with which they have adopted the
medsore of restraining it 'till some effectual
remedy can he devised. It is truly gratifying,
however, to bud, that son►c such remedy
is held forth by the Comtnittees as practi-
cable, and which will be carried into effect with
all possible expedition. Messrs. TIERNEY and
Bitouona.24, in the House of Commons, with a
consistency worthy of their political character,
urged some objections against the speed with
which the Bill for checking the immediate danger
passed through the House, sit the three stages
last night, but they showed, that. for the sake of
their political credit, it is necessary for them upon
all OCC*SiOUS to appear in opposition. The Bill
will pass through 'all its stages this day in the
! House of Lords.

Positive information has been received from the
Duke and Duchess of KENT, stating that their
Royal Highnesses may be expected in town on or

A moeting of Catholics took piece yesterday at
the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand, at which,
after votittg thanks to their Protestant friends,
they passed a resolution condemning the conduct
of what is termed the English' Catholic Board, as
being self-constituted withoirt having ever con-
stilted the body at large. The conduct of the
Board was also coutlentned for their censure of
the Rev. Dr. MILNER, to whom a tote of thanks
was passed.
The copy of a Convention has been received
which was entered into by the Viceroy of Nati,
on the part of Spain, and Captain SHERIFFR, of
the Andromache frigaie, for this country, allow-
ing British vessels and cargoes free entry at Cal-
la() and Lirna. In consequence of it a very con-
siderable trade was carried on between'Lima and
Valparaiso.
Yesterday morning the remains of the Dowager
Marchioness of TOWNSEND were removed front her

Mr. Serjeant MARSHALL WRIS taken so ill, on
the road to Welsh Pool, that Mr.. Serjeant Coe-

Mrs. SIDD'ONS.—There is no truth, we find, in
the report that this great Actress is likely to gra-
tify the Public by appearing a sew nights at
Drury-Lane Theatre in compliment to her bro-
ther, Mr. STEPHEN KHMELE, as Manager. It
seems that she has most positively renounced
theatrical life—a circumstance much to be' re-
gretted, as critical taste, since her public depar-
ture, has been too frequently offended by affec-
tation, violence, and vulgarity.
The Bristol Theatre opened on Monday, under
the management of Mr. M`CPEADY, with Othello
and llosina. Mr. W. M`CaKAny personated the

A Hoax.-:--On Thursday morning last a placard
was posted up in one of the principal shops in
Blandford, stating that a bet of 50 guineas was
depending between one of the new-invented Hobby
Horses and the Mail Coach, which should arrive
first from London at the Crown Inn. Accordingly,
about half an hour before the arrival of the-Mail,
the road between Blandford and rpliperne
was thronged spectators to see this new-
invented mode of travelling ; but on the arrival of
the Mail, it was discovered to he a hoax,--as
boy appeared with a pole, having a Gard affixed
with the words " This is the Ist of April."

Cußtous FACT.--A' gardener in the • Weigh-
