the army on the 18th. The Russian army had
orders to pass the Pruth on the 7th of May, and to
cross the Danube at the same time at Ismail and

There has been less occasion for the display
activity in the Dock-yard at this port during the
past week, than at any period since the peace in
1811, there not having been a single vessel re,
fitting except the guard-ships, and none paid off.
We stated a few weeks since, npon good autho-
rity, that strong remonstrances had been made by
the Finance Committee against the contemplated
removal of the Victualling Establishment from this
side of the harbour to that opposite, at Weovil, upon
the ground of such a measure being attended with
so vast an expenditure of public money. As it is
contended that the convenience of the public service
does not require the proposed change, it was con-
sidered that the suggestion of the Committee had
been attended to, and that the idea of incurring
this uncalled-for expence had. been:abandoned. Con-
trary to all expectation, however, orders have this
week been received to transfer the stores to Weovil;
and the Quay Store, which is to be given up to
the Customs department, is already cleared, and
those from the long warehouse in the New Gun
Wharf are inconsidaratis process of removal, Among other
on which

of the change

Weovil, for the tide mill on this side, which, d
the late war, has been found so efficient, and worked
at so trifling a cost. The erection of a projected
steam-mill for Weovil, adequate to the Work
which
the present tide-mill can compass, cannot he effected
for less than 50,0004, to which must he added that
with which the tide-mill is not chargeable—a great
consumption of fuel. Did necessity call for this
new arrangement, by great inconvenience, expe-
rienced during the last active and protracted war-
fare, the present measure no one could cavil about,
but in thd absence of any such complaint, we yet
trust that the removal of the establishment will be
stayed.

LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, MAY 19, 1828.

and the
The French Papers of Saturday,
Gazette de France of yesterday, have been re-
ceived by express. They are chieflyoccupied
with the debate upon the Loan of 80 millions,
which gave rise to some animated discussion,_
The principal speakers, M. LAFITTE, M. Roy,
M. BENJAMIN CONSTANT, Gen. ANAREoSI,
and the Minister for Foreign Affairs. The
speech of M. LAFITTE, the banker, was
distinguished by some bold remarks, and
much holder figures of rhetoric: Peace, he says,
has reigned in Europe for fourteen years—a
species of political phenomenon, particularly when
it is considered that this peace rests on the stipu-
lations of Vienna, that strange assemblage of
States without frontiers—of powers without pro-
portions—ofambition without counterpoise. This
peace, it was vainly hoped by its framers, would
be eternal ; but they were deceived. On
Thrones, in Cabinets, in Armies, young hearts
have superseded old ones—and the cause of
Greece has roused the nations from their lethargy,
till Europe is now agitated about the existence
of the Ottoman Empire, which is threatened by
its most powerful and natural foe. The edifice
of peace has been shaken, and France must be
on her guard. The Speaker then alludes to the
partition of Poland—that blot in the annals of
Europe—and says, though France should
not attach herself to ruin, yet Empires must
not be divided before her eyes without her
being consulted or compensated for the threaten-
ing aggrandizements of her neighbours. So
then it matters not how many Empires are di-
vided, so long as France shares in the spoil.
But then follows a very modest boast—France
alone, for the last fifty years, has not increased her
territory—on the contrary, she has remained
within her limits for a century, and that, too,
while surrounding kingdoms were devoured !
But this forbearance now arises front necessity,
not from choice. What does M. LAFITTE say
to the conquests of France since the Revolution—
to the kingdoms which she had devoured—
and the mighty grasp of her ambitious genius,
till the assembled armies of Europe constrained
her to retire within her former limits? Really M.
LAFITTE, should consider before he takes
credit to France for moderation, which she has
never yet evinced even in her language, far less
in her sets. The orator truly says, that all
States may become warlike and powerful if
they have men and money to arm and
feed them. " Population and finances are the
two sources of powe France possesses both
her population, lively, intelligent, and brave,
furnishes her armies with the first soldiers in the
world : her soil, her industry, supply abundant
revenues. In these two points of view there is
no State of the Continent which is comparable
to it ; those which she does not surpass in po•
pulation, she surpasses in finances. Superior
to England in population, but inferior in riches,
France reckons a thousand millions of revenue,
while England reckons fourteen hundred mil-
lions. However, out of this, England devotes
750 millions to the interest of its debt. Thus
England has alienated more than half of its re-
venue ; we, on the contrary, only a fifth. With
prudence, then, France might join to the supe-
riority of its population the superiority of its
finances ; and then who would dispute with it
the first characters ?—what is necessary to obtain
it ? Management. England, which has given
the model of the finest financial institutions,
has failed in practice." This may be true, but
let not our neighbours trust to their superior
management, or they will fail too. Our debt is
no doubt a great evil s but, should occasion again
require the exercise of our strength, our neigh-
bours will see that our physical energiee are not
impaired by the amount of our debt.
The Journal des Debats of Friday says, that
every declaration of war begins with a protesta-
tion of love of peace, and regret at the circum-
stances which rendered necessary its interruption,
with a wish that the negociations which pre-
ceded the rupture may renewed. Such are the
forms of Diplomacy—and such the present policy
of Russia, while her armies in the meantime
rush on to Constantinople.

In another column will be found extracts from
Hamburgh and Germrn Papers, containing an
Order of the Day of the Emperor NICHOLAS,
dated feT)th April, to the army,couched in the usual
strain of glory and praise ; and promising them a
double, portion of each in the war with Turkey.
It was said that the EMPEROR was to leave St.
Petersburgh on the 7th May, and on the same
day otsfinir o'clock in the morning, the 4rmg
would pass the Pruth. The Army had orders
also tr) pass the Danube at the same time at
Ismail andGakle,7, and take the shortest route
for Constantinople. rifle ErrTcror was to fix
his head-quarters at Ismail.

Frankfurt Papers, and the Allgemeine Zei-
lung of the 12th in. . have been received, but
they contain no news of interest. The increase
in the population of Prussia for the last ten
years amounts to nearly two millions:—

ITTERSBURCH, MAY 3.
Letters from Astrachan, of 27th March, say, that after
a faw days mild weather the ice in the Wolga had brown
up, the river having been frozen over for three months.
The oldest inhabitants have no remembrance of so severe a
winter, and such a quantity of snow, as this last season.
The return of spring will enable the Nomade tribes, in the
Government of Astrachan, to save the cattle which they
}—tve left, the winter, having carried off great numberfi•
In some places neither the Tartars nor the Russians had
any forage left, and had not the local authorities given
Ftrrni”iou to cut the young shoot; of the white willow to

feed the cattle, not one would have survived : when the
shepherds climb the tree 3 to cut off these branches, the
famished herds were seen to assemble in a body round the
trees, impatiently waiting for the food offered to them,
which they devoured with greediness.

ST. rETERSBUCH, M 2.

The St. Peter burgh Journal give the account of the Ide-
parture of the guards, the Emperor's address to the sol-
diers, and the order for the levy of recruits ; they say no-
thing of the day of the Emperor's departure.
VIENNA, Mar 7.
Aletalliques, 89 9-16 ; Bank Shares, 1010.

At a late hour this afternoon we received, by
the Sir Edward Bankes steam packet, the
Hamburg Reporter of the 17th instant, but
it contains not much news. All vessels in
Odessa on the 28th of April were chartered
by Government. Military movements were ex-
tremely animated, and on the 2d of May the
Head-quarters were to have been at Kischenew.
The Metalliques on the Bth were 89 .
Bank Shares 10111.

Dutch Papers have been received to the 18th
inst. The Russian Ambassador to the German
Diet presented the Manifesto of the EMPEROR
with an assurance of his Imperial Master's
great moderation in not exacting severer terms
from the SCRAM. What would he have ? the
Throne of Persia ?

It was expected at Paris that Don Alicum,
would proclaim himelf King on the Bth or 13th
instant.

By his MAJESTY'S brig Mutine, Lieutenant
PAWLE, with an American Mail, arrived at
Falmouth, Halifax Papers to the 20th, St.
John's (New Brunswick) 15th, Prince Edward's
Island, and Miramichi of the Bth of April,
have been received at the North and South
American Coffee House. Their contents are
extremely uninteresting, being chiefly confined
to events of a local nature, or extracts from the
English Papers. The Arcadian of the 4th of
April states, that in consequence of the indispo
sition of his Excellency the Lieut.-Governor,
a message was sent, commanding the attendance
of both branches of the Legislature at Govern-
ment House, at one o'clock, on the 3d, when his
Excellency closed the Session with a speech, in
which he thanks the President and Gentlemen
of his MAJESTY'S Council, and Gentlemen of
the House of Assembly, for the great zeal
they have manifested in the discharge of
their legislative duties. He then adds, besides
transacting the usual public business of the
Session, several very important acts have resulted
from your deliberations, and I entertain a san-
guine hope that I may have it in my power when
I next meet you, to offer you my congratulations
on the improved state of the provincial Fisheries,
and the establishment of Schools throughout the
country. The address conveys the Governor's
thanks for the liberal supplies which have been
granted to his MAJESTY for the public service,
and for the confidence which they continue to
repose in placing such considerable sums at his
disposal ; and that the extensive appropria-
tions for roads, bridges, and other objects of na-
tional improvement for the benefit of the Pro-
vince, shall be judiciously and faithfully em-
ployed, as well as the utmost economy used in
every branch of the expenditure.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, TiVILIZ o'Ctocr.

The state of the Consol Account appears to have more
influence upon the prices than any political or financial
measures or reports, whilst the political horizon appears
lowering and cloudy, with every appearance of immediate,
and perhaps lasting, hostilities. The British public are
soothed by the often-told tale of a " strict neutrality," and
this report is st, engthened by the apparent apathy of our Go-
vernment. But whilst at home quietness and inaction reign,
it must be remembered that we have the sinews and mate-
riel for any measures which may be deemed necessary to
preserve the " boasted balance of power" (in the East)
at Corfu, Malta, Gibraltar, and other islands contiguous
to the Morea--to these places we have for Milla time past
be•n sending arms, men, ammunition, and stores; at the
same time the British fleet hag received additional
force, to render our armament of such strength,
as to be worthy the name of a British force.—
Thus quietly, though steadfastly, have our Ministers
been preparing for any possible contingency which
may arise out of the Treaty of the 6th of July. Thus it
is, that no active business appears in our arsenals and
dock-yards, and hence has arisen that confidence, which,
whilst it:lulls the, fears of the Fundholder, may he the
means of creating, through the confidence thus established,
a fall disastrous in its consequences ; for war, which is now
inevitable, must, sooner or later, shake the security, and con-
sequently reduce the value of the Funds of all nations ; for it
must not be forgotten, that during the peace we have in our
affluence made loans for all countries, which enables them
at this time to assume the position of war—whilst we, too
weak and enervated by our liberality, are compelled to
succumb to our wealthy neighbours, whose tyranny and in-
gratitude now rise in opposition to the Power which gave
them strength. We have written rather longer upon this
subject than usual, that the public may not be misled by the
supposed security of foreign prices and neutrality. The
former (we allude to the French Funds) are influenced by
the operations of wary speculators, who, whilst they sup-
port the supposed value, are ridding themselves and their
friends of their investments. The reports are the produc
tion of a creative fancy, framed for the purpose of delusion.
Consols opened at 85it' went buyers at and have
remained at this rate nearly all the morning, with but few
transactions ; they are now sellers, and 86 sellers for the
next time.

with gigantic and triumphant strides.
Let the British Fuudholder remember that at the sams
time he seeks a high rate of interest in Foreign Stocks, he
but adds difficulties to his own Government, which will
ultimately tend to the entire loss, not only of his British
interest, but also his capital. The same congdence induced
many' holders of Foreign Bonds to invest their all in
Buenos Ayrean, Colombian, Mexican, Portuguese,
aCnhdilinoather Funds, and what is the issue ? Remembering
these consequences, let the public beware, and not be led

servitude.
