FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS U.T.

[Morning Chronicle
FOREST OF DARTMOOR.

The plan, we understand, is to form a joint
Stick Company, with an extensive capital—to
.procure an Act of Incorporation—and with pro-
visions to settle all claims of right to pasturage,
&c.—to convert Dartmoor Prison into a Metropo-
litan School, to which the London • parishes may
send their children, who, in addition to the common
elements of education,, will be employed in
the several processes of preparing and manu-
facturing flax—and who, when they-arrive at the
age of. manhood, may have allotments of the
Moor, on lease, to establish themselves in the
husbandry they have been taught—the ptoduce of
their own labour-while apprentices, being bestow-
ed on them, as a capital .with which to set Out.
This is the outline of the new project, and we sin-
cerely wish it success.

The following is an Extract of a Letter, dated
Cadiz, Bth Dec. from The Constitutionnel

" Scarcely had the yellow fever ceased, when
the Board of Trade has come upon us with a de'.
mand of money. The Edict published on this
Subject on the 6111 inst. rates the quota corres-
ponding to Cadiz.at eighteen millions of vials,
which are destined to aid in the out-fir of the
expedition ; 'and adds, that the Board hail hoped,
from the zeal and patriotism of the proprietors,
that they would not eveu have waited for the
term fixed for their compliance with the orders of
Government ; but the effect's have not answered
their hopes, for the number has been very small
of those who fulfilled their obligations.
Notwithstanding an indifference so reprehensible
on the pert of the proprietors, adds the Edict,
would appear to authorize the Board to take tnea-
sores the most rigorous, they did nut consider it
to be their duty to employ them in the state of
desolation • in which the city' was plunged during
time prevalence of the fever ; but now, as this
scourge has disappeared, through the mercy of
Divine Providence, and considering also the seve-
rity of-the new orders. received, the Board Of
Trade renew their former invitations by the pre
sent Edict, and declare, if the proprietors do not
realize the full payment of their respective con-
tingents peremptorily, within a very short delay,
they will positively adopt rigorous measures,
by placing property under sequestriition, as well
as rents due and not due, till are principals and
costs have been covered. It is unnecessary to at-
tempt to paint to you the situation of the city,
We are now under the greatest difficulties to
make up a contribution of 100,000 dollars, When
iormetly a large portion of the gold and silver
that circulates in the world used to pass thrones
our hands."—(Mid )

The Government at present keeps a watchful eye
over the state of the precious metals—A practice
which,-if persevered in, -will be the best security
against any possible ill effects from the resumption
of cash payments when they shall be adopted. A
gen leman of the first consequence in the city,
well known for his experience in foreign ex-
changes and money transactions, was employed,
as soon as the late scarcity of silver became ap-
parent, to remedy the inconvenience, by procur-
ing a supply of that metal from the Continent, a
commission which, we understand, he executed
most promptly, and on very advantageous terms,
to the extent of one million and a half sterling.—
":o the stnprise ()Idle most experienced merchants
on 'Change, this large transaction has been ef-
fected with scarcely a sensible fall in the rate of
exchange with the Continent ; its utility has been
immediately felt, and silver is now as plentiful as
ever.

THE BUONAPARTE FAMILY.—A chimerical fear
entertained by Jerome Bunnaparte, induced him,
iu 1814, to exchange for Italian property two
.estates which he had purchased in Tourraine, and
which belonged to M. Michael, the Banker. lie
now finds that things are exactly reversed, that
it is the posSessions in France which have been
respected by the Ft each Government, and by the
law of 1816, while the national property which he
accepted in exchange in the principalities of Lucca
and Mastena-,Carrara, have been resold with
success to. Beatrice, Archduz-hess of Austria; The
Italian Judges have discovered in the alienations
made to Fiend) speculators a • fraud of M. Bac-
eiochi and his wife, the sister of Napolean, which
was devised to deceive Napoleon himself.
