Al A 1111 AS, OCT. 18.--Tho ship Kingston,
BowEN, from the Thames 13th June, arrived in
the roads on Sunday even►ng ; his Majesty's
ship Champion, from 'Portsmouth the sth, Ma.
deira and TeneritTe 25th and 27th Julie, having
also touched at the Cape and Ceylon, has arrived.
The Champion sailed for 'Rangoon• on Sunday.
The Sir Edward Paget was expected to sail from
the Cape immediately after the Champion. The
LadN Nugent had not arrived.

The letters which we have seen from Rangoon
to the 9th of October, all speak confidently as to
the Armistice ultimately leading to peace, but we
understand there ore several from Head-quarters
that hold a different language.

Movements are now taking place actively to.
wards Bhurtpore, in the upper provinces, and
corps are collecting at Agra, Muttra, and neigh-
bouring points, from which operations will com-
mence, not we hope to terminate before the for-
tresses of ilhori pore and Deeg have ceased to be
an asylum to the disaffected and discontented.
It is only remarkable how these fortresses have
been permitted to remain so long, setting our
authority at defiance.
We have received intelligence from Dowd) so
late as the second week in October ; and from
it we learn, that the Commissariat had received
orders to provide at Agra and Muttra, for an
army of 15,000 men. The force, it is stated,
was in readiness to move at a moment's warn•
ing. Sir CHARLES METCALFL: was expected at
Agra 18th October.

The Mode of yesterday was received this
morning by express. In the Sitting of the Cham-
ber of Deputies, on Thursday last, there was
discussion on the subject of the Cotton manu-
facture of Fiance, which excited some truly
novel, and indeed most ext'nordinary opinions,
as to the policy of discouraging the extension
of a branch of industry, of which the introduc-
tion into France has been so anxiously desired by
her Government. On the Order of the Day being
read for taking into consideration the question of
the Customs Duties, M. de St. CHAMANS moved
an amendment, the object of which was to in-
crease the duties on cotton wool imported. M.
BONNET, in supporting the motion, remarked,
that by. this proposition it was sought to restrain
the manufacture of cottons within just limits,
seeing that it was on the point of superseding
other highly important branches of industry.
Duties he said, hndbeen laid on Sheep-wool, and
Foreign cloths, in order to protect agriculture
and industry—and upon the same principle he
should support en increase-of the duty on Cotton
wool. The problem to be solved was, whether
it was not the interest of France to restrain by
duties the increase of cotton fabrics, which the
people were generally beginning to prefer to those

of hemp, flax, wool, or silk? Was it provident
to let thousands derive their subsistence from
a branch of industry which might be de.
stroyed. by a maritime War ? Was it politic
to expend seventy trienAtof friincs to pre.
cure a raw &iaterial of‘ inferior v.4e to the
natural productions of France ? M. de Saint
CRICQ remarked, that the proposed duty would
create a tax of twenty-four millions ! It bad
been said that the cotton manufacture would
injure those of silk and wool, and flax ; but did
France possess within herself an adequate quantity
of those substances? The importation of wool was
indispensable, and of flax, France imports as much
as she exports. Besides, could taste and fashion
be forced on 34 millions of people ? The destruc-
tion of the cotton manufacture, brildes the con-
vulsion it would produce in France, would dis-
turb all her commercial relations with the
New World. It was from Brazil that
the greatest supply of cotton wool was de-
rived, next to that from the United States;
the produce of her soil, and time manufactures
gave ample remuneration, and lie had reason to
helieve,that a treaty of commerce with that country
was not remote. In conclusion, he considered
the proposed tax as a ruinous blow aimed at the
industry of the country. M. FERDINAND BER•
TRIER supported the amendment ; it was not
only that the cotton manufactures injured those of
linens, silk, and wool—but it was notorious that
the invention of machinery, unless restrained
within proper limits, would, in the end, reduce
man himself to a mere machine. In England, when
diiturbances took place, they always began in
Manchester—the seat of the cotton manufac-
ture. M. KUMANN opposed the tax—he con-
tended that in place of adding to the tax the
existing duty ought to be altogether abolished.
Every raw material not produced in France,
ought to be imported totally unfettered by duties.
In 1814, the duty on cotton wool had been taken
off, and its renewal in 1816 was occasioned onlY
by adverse circumstances. M. PAvY proposed a
second amendment, reducing the intended addle
lion to one-half, but the question being finally
put, both the amendments were rejected.

BRUSSELS, APRIL 6.
1113 Majesty's levee yesterday was, perhaps, the most nu-
menus ever seen ; persons of all ranks were present. There
were no porters, no guards, no Janissaries of any kind, and no
etiquette. Without any previous application—without forma-
lities of any kind, people present themselves, inscribe their

names, and are introduced into the antichamber, where who-
• ever pleases sits down, while he may see his king standing in
the next apartment, receiving with an affability which may he
truly called paternal whoever is presented to him in his turn
according to the list.
Sovereigns who are accustomed to enter royal residences only
through a forest of bayonets, carbines of halberts, and after
having gone through a number of formalities, which are
always troublesome, and often ridiculous, cannot believe
their own eyes. It may he said, without exaggeration,
that it is more easy to enter the abode of the King of the Ne-
therlands, and to be received there as one might be by a good
father, than it is in some countries, not far off, to approach a
petty clerk, who will often affect the moat insupportable am-
wince, and the most ridiculous gravity.
The levee yesterday was not over till seven o'clock. We ob-
served several Catholic Priests, and M. Libry-Bagnano, famous
for the sacrifices he has made for France, and the terrible return
ha has received for them. •
Ilia Majesty will set out early to-morrow morning for the
!Iwo.
Alurshal Soult, the Duke of Dalmatia, passed through this
City yesterday, on his way to Berlin.
His Majesty has approved the choice made by the Chapter of
Namer of M. de Cavelier, to perform the functions of Vicar-
General of the Diocese during the vacancy of the Episcopal See.

DII3BELDORFP, MARCH 30.
The infant son of his Royal Highness Prince Frederick of
Prussia, who was born in this city, was baptized yesterday.
The sponsors were the King of Prussia, the King of England,
and the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg Strclitz, who were re-
presented on this occasion by Lieutenant-General Von Horn,
Lieutenant-General Von Hinuber, and Baron Von Ingeralebin,
31inister of State. The young Prince received the name of
Frederick William George Ernest.
It appears from the most recent accounts that the population
of Dresden, exclusive of the military, amounts to 2,000 souls.
VIENNA, MARCH 27.
114 Alajesty the Emperor quitted his bed to-day, for the
first time, above 2A hours. He sleeps well, and his appetite is
good, and the recovery of his strength answers the most
favourable expectations.

Extract of a Letter, dated Ifamburgh, March
According to the letters from Copen-
hagen, the French Minister there, the Marquis
de ST. Ststost, has abruptly left that capital, in
consequence of an order of his Government, en-
joining him to quit his post within two hours
after the receipt of this injunction, and to wait at
Hamburg!' for furthw orders !dative to his ulti-
mate destination. This step has been taken by
the French Government in compliance with an
express application from the Danish Government,
.which complained of the insupportable arrogance
shown by M. St. Simon on every occasion., Last
winter he excited universal ridicule by abruptly
removing his daughter out of the circle assent-
bled on the King's birth-day, and leading her
into the ante-chamber, amidst the servants in at-
tendance, because he found himself offended by
her having been placed by the side of a Cowl-
, tess; and about four weeks ago, when the dime-
, for of the theatre, M. de Holstein, refused him a
box, because it had been already bespoke for the
Crown Princess, he wrote him an impertinent
letter, in which he haughtily declared that he, a
Peer of France, thought himself in no respect
inferior to a Crown Princess of Denmark."
'Accounts from St. Petersburgh state that the
eminent mercantile house of Livio Brothers,
Which suspended its payments on the 9th March,
issued a circular on the following day, announc-
ing that Mr. L. Stieglitz, head partner of the
house of Stieglitz and Co. ; Mr. J. Wilson, of the
house of Thomson 13onar and Co.; and J.Segnin,
of the house of A. P. Duval, J. Seguin and Co.,
none of whom are creditors of Messrs. Livid, have
undertaken the arrungement of its affairs. The
father of Messrs. Livio, it is said, who retired
from business some time ago, had employed
1000,000 rubles in the purchase of several estates
in the neighbourhood of Strasburg, by which the
resources of the house bad been much weakened.
Saturday evening the Princess AUGUSTA, at-
tended by her Royal Highness's Lady in Waiting,
honoured the Italian Opera with her presence.
Yesterday morning the Princess AUGUSTA at-
tended Divine Service at the Chapel Royal.
Sir J. Ntweotyr. and Mr. SPRING RICE have
been requested by the Lords' Committee on the
Scotch and Irish Banking, to attend them, to be
uNamined on such subject.
