LONDON,
THURSDAY, MAY 27, 1819.

IVe receive( this morning the Paris Papers of
Monday last. The following are extracts

" PARIS, MAY 24.—The King received a num-
ber of persons yesterday, who were presented to
him. His Mjesty's health continues to improve.

" The Coronation is, it is said, to take place in
he new Church of Sainte Genevieve.

" Sand still lives, but is extremely feeble,

" The King received yesterday Prince Leopold
of Saxe Coburg, who was accompanied by Sir
Charles Stuart, the English Ambassador. His
Royal Highness afterwards dined with his Ma-
jesty and the Royal Fatuity.

" It is said that 111atlame Catalani will not
again appear before the Public, but that sbe in-
tends to fix hur residence in France with her hus-
band and family.

" A subscription has been opened at Vienna to
erect a Monument to the memory of the celebrat-
ed Haydn and another to that of Mozart.
" The King received a visit yesterday from the.
Duke of Orleans.

" The Prince de Talleyrand was present at the

King's Court yesterday.
" BRUSSELS, MAY 21.—The Prince of Orange
set out a few days since for Mons, where he will
be joined , by his consort. They proceed front
thence to visit several towns in Flanders.
" VIENNA, MAY 12.-----The Emperor and Em-
press of Austria will not return here till the be-
ginning of August. After their arrival in Ger-
many they tiviil pass some time at the patrimonial
estates of Weinziet I, Peiremburg, and Loubesech.
BERLIN, MAY 15.--The grand spring ma-
noeuvres commenced the 13th instant, and will

tAst till the 1711). The ftoops form a camp be-
tween 13ti lin and Spandan.

" It appears that the French General Hulot
d'Osery, who has passed through here on his way
to retersburgh, is not charged with any tnissio❑
from' his Government. His only object in Russia
relates to the affairs of his sister, Madame No-

Trig Foricis.—,The Stocks have partially re-
covered from the late depression ; Consols this
mornnig commenced at 674, went to 6131, anti
then fell to 67i, but the Market looked well at the
latter prices ; much business has been done ; this
morning has been principally occupied in paying
and receiving differences. No great defaulter was
declared up to one o'clock. Exchequer Bills were
done at Is. premium, and afterwards fell to 2s.
discount. The Coinmissioners gave 6613 in Re-
duced, and were served by the Jobbers generally.
Bank Stock rose 10 per Cent. this day.

The limier-mentioned Stocks Open and Shut as

follows :

Consols, Sci June, Shut, and Open 16th luly.
5 per Cent. 2d June, Shut, and Open 21§t July.
India Stock, 3d June, Shut, and Open 13th July.

While we highly approve of the zeal, assidni!y,
and labour which Ministers have devoted to the
CURRENCY QUESTION, and earnestly hope that
the measures suggested by the Committees
of both [louses of Parliament may be pro-
dnetive of all the beneficial results wi►ich seem
to be generally anticipated by all Par-
ties, with few exceptions, we certainly - can-
not approve of the manner in which the BANK
DIRECTORS have been treated. They have 'been
advised not to assume the characters of States-
men, Politicians, anti Philosophers, and have been
pronounced by some,whO do not seem qualified to
decide upon their talents or their knowledge, in-

capable of takinv so cornprchensve a ric'w as was
required on a subject not immediately wia)in their
peculiar sphere ,of action. Bot why so Intelli-
gent and experienced tt Body of men should
be supposed incompetent to form just opi-
nions on !questions of national policy, particu-
larly in matters of a pecuniary nature, it is diffi-
cult to conceive, awl abiurd to doubt. We may

rather question whether, throughout the whole

of the Community, a more respectable, judic•ious,
and intelligent body of men conic! be found, or
Who=e sentiments on all matters relating to the
welfare of the Country, particularly on financial
subjects, would be more entitled to attention anti
respect. Out opinions on this subject are so well
expressed in The Correspondent, a Dublin
distinguished for good sense anti loyally, that
we shat: present to our Readers the following per-
tinent, just, and candid extract from that Ve.per
of the 21st instant':—

The Press—or, rather, that part of it which
put veys to Reformer or Whig—with cqual servility,
has fastened its fangs upon the BANK of ENG..
LAND, upon which all the venom of calumny= i;
discharged- in malic►ous eestacy—while the DI-
RIZCTORS of it arr., among other things, likened to
the fraudulent conductors of the South Sea
Bubble. •

" It is fairly observed, in defence of this im-
portant and honourable Institution, the Bank,
that it is, in the first place, an OPEN CORPOR,ATION.
Any person possessing a hundred pounds may be-
come a Proprietor. Bank Stock is as much a Pith-

lie Stock as Consols are ; the Directors are inure
stewards, managing the concerns of the Proprie-

tors; they are not chosen on account of bolding
a greater quantity of Bank Stock than any other
Proprietors ; but solely for their pre-eminent ta-
lents, experience, and respectability. They ve►y
often possess no more than the mere amount of
Bank Stock necessary as a qualification, whilst the
bulk of their fortune is invested in other semi-
ties or undertakings ; and, consequently, thdr
personal interest, in any question between the
Public and the Bank, is almost always on the side
of the former.

" But they feel th'lt the honour done them by
their fellow-citizens, in cOmmitting to, them Yo im-

portant a trust, imposes on them a most delicate
and important ditty. This duty they hav,e ever
discharged %%hit the utmost benefit to the cum-

munity at large. They have assisted the Go-
vernment whetithey saw t hat such assistance was ab-
solutely necessary to the security of the Stare, and
consequently of all the property in the ;state ;
but they have often, with great firmness, resisted
the demands of Ministers, ►wen ti4ey conceived
that their duty to the Proprietors required them
so to do."

The Morning Chronicle deserves some respect at
least for the steadiness of its attachment to Mr.
Fox, hot we cannot allow it to praise him at the
expense of others, or upon fa :se foundatiotals. II
says, this day, " How fortunate it wolth'i have
been for the Empire if the truth and wisdom

of his b.ic trh e 3 bad been acted ;limn Aer, fits:
promulged." But can it be forgotten that Mr.
Fox wanted us to fraternize with the RevotutienarY
Government of France, which, 01°10) from its
eery nature calculated to be only temporary.as
to its members, acted in a manner ruinous to that
country, and 'alarming to all Europe ? Such were
the truth and wisdom of his dot trines ! !! Astnuelt.
error and falsehood is there in The Chronicle's
assertion this day, ttiat Ministers " involved.
us in the War." The British Government,
it is well known, did ki;l it could to avoid a
War, till the ambition, the' insolence, the
injustice, the oppression, and violation of treaties
with countlies amicably connected with us, as
well as the peculiar outrages to Great Buitain,
rendered war as unavoidable on our part, for the
sake of the national honour
.as well as interest,
as it was glorious in its progress, and honourable
in its result to the wliole civilized world.

TUE PITT CLUB.—Tire Committee for ma'
paging the Annual CelebrAtion on the Birth-day',
of our illustrious Statesman 'have resolved, it
seems, not to print any more poetical contribu-
tions on the occasion. This we conceive to be
proof of judicious economy, as the merits and
the services of the revered Patriot and upright •
Minister sufficiently spe,k for themselves, and ,
the members of an lostitation which does 50
~truch honour to themselves and the Country, can
assuredly require no other stimulus titan full con-'
viction of the justness of his principles, of
the import,±nt benefits which the Empire and all
Europe 'rave derived from those principles, and a
heartfelt veneration for his character and metaory.

RENNETT.—Thi morning, at the Old Bailey
Court, the parties in this prosecution had notioe
given them, that this person's trial would take
Mace to-morrow morning, at ten precisely. The
indictment charges him with " stealing, taking,
and carrying away, a wale child, %% it!) intert to
derive, and with depriving, the parents of the
possession thereof." He is edit) indicted for fe-,
lonously carrying away a certain female child.

Jamaica Papers of the 221 of March state, thag.
private letters bad been received in Kingston,.
stating, that BoLtvAtt had under his conintaini
15,000 tror.ps, of which 6000 were British, and
that his retreat was for the purpose of inducing
Mottmco to cross the Orinoco, while A aTIG.s
went up that river with a strong force in e:o04.
boats, to cut off his retreat, and thus place hint
between two armies. BOLIN, \II has crossed 111,f
Orihoeo, and hcrs are confidently entirzahnti
that the manoeuvre would prove successful.
The Wateyord Mirror, of the 22a instant,
states, that tranquillity lys been perfectly re•
stored in that chy. 'lwo persons charged with
riotously assembling wil b others, on the I ith•
were tied on the 2.14 t, found guilty, and ordere4,
to he imprisoned for short terms.
