LONDON,
munsi.mr, /11.1Y2, 1816.

This, day will long be Memorable itt.the history
of the British Empire : it witnesses the, union of
our Princess with an 111ustrious Scion'of the House
of Saxony: We have devoted other pints of our
Impression to the various.tletads connected with
this important occasion, which will all be read
with interest : And we have only, here, to invite
every Loyal Briton, every lover of our good
"King and his Family, every liiend to our glori-
OHS Constitution and to the illustrious r: tee
with whose weal the, national prosperity is
so clOsely interwined, to invoke with its the
choicest of [leaven's blessings upon the Union of
this tleyl :May items elood overspread its bright-
fleas, but, and it is out easy to surpass the prayer,
may it afford as nohle,an example of moral virtue
and connubial happiness to the people of these
realms, us har fur more than half a century been
glven,by King
.6eottoe the Titian and CHAR-
:43II'B his Queen ! Should ever political storm
:arise; and; at any period' loin; distant from this
date. the land look back after a dreadful strug-
gle, as it does now, to victories unparalleled,
ighiry complete, security immoveably, and gran-
deur without example, 'may it add one joy more
to the felicity of the Pair joined to-day, that the
dignity, the respect, the 'veneration, the lo.Ve with
which they surrounded the royal station,,bad Con-
tributed under the blessing of , Providence, as in
their Royal Grandfather and his virtuous Consort,
to the safety of the State, anti the 4atvation of
Europe.

After the Nuptial Ceremony and tengratula-
tions, Ito.pl Pair set out for °Wands, and
nor Bushey Park.,.-as has heen stated. - ,

The Princess AUGUSTA arrived in town yester-
day, to be present on this auspicious occasion.
Nine o'clock is the hour appointed for the Ce-
remonial of the Nuptials.

The Paris Papers of Monday afford us a few ex-
tracts for a preceding column. The Dey of At.-
Gteas seems to have teen beguiled into a kind and
revitution-making moot by the' whispers of a
confederacy to put au end to his piracies. He
has, at the .request of the Consul, restored nine
French slaves, who weie landed at Toulon on the
14th.

It is hinted that the Ministers of I,;outs XVIII.
arekto make. au important communication to the
Legislithre, in an extr.ioldinary Sitting of the
Chamber of recta; but nothing of the nature of
this statement transpires,'

The news
,from Germany is rather interesting.
BERNADOTTO wants to,match his Sun Oscan with
the 'Princess of smile Grand German Family—
which family is not said.

Mr. Iloasta brought forward bis. promised
suggestions respecting the gradual resuMption of
Cash Payments by Op Bank, in the House of
Commons, last night. His plan proposes, that,
for the first six months one pound notes 014
should 'be payable ; for the' second six months
those of two pounds ; iu the Next half year those

of Ave pounds, anti in the next to that of all higher

notes.

When we retttemb'ei...the labours Of this Octitlk.
man on the littliain Question, and observe that
every one of his predictions have -been falsified by
the vvent, however highly we think of his finan-
cial talents, we are, .tertttinly not intlined- to
regret that the House negatived his moticm for
a Committee by a Majority of 146 to 73. There
scents to be a great disposition in certain quar-
ters to view every advaintage which the Bank en-
joys with most unwarrantable jealousy-. The
Bank has done much fpr the country; has always
acted vvith great liberality towards the Public;
and never sheaved a backwardness to co'-operate
in any measure for the general service. It
is. not therefore candid to go grudgingly and
growlingly to Work - with that highly re-
spectable Body.' What isilit;,ht and just be-
tween the Government and it tins been, and will
be done. In tittles of need the .Bank itecomtno-
dates the Public as grateful return for the privi-
leges it .enjoys tun-
gracious thing to' recommend 'a sort of &allot.;
with it which would disgrace a Chandler, and is
utterly unworthy of a Nation,

Letters from Paris Istate, that ,the Finance Mi-
nister in that country experiences some diffienlty
in carryiqg into effect a project he had contetn-
plated of raring a loan. On, E'riday last, itl is
said, a meeting of about twelve of, the principal
bankers" of PlitiS .was held to consider of as pro-
posal front the Minister for a loan of. 50 millions
of francs, a little more than two millions sterling.
'rhe terms..offered were an investment .of five per
cents, at 50, which the bankers are representetf
to have declined.
,The market price has been f)r
some time past between 59 and GO ; but, trim-
titer it was that the idea of a .loAn was deemed
likely to depress public credit, or that the sum to
he raised was.thought. too large, the profit, though
apparently considerable, did not appear tempting
enough to the,bankers, and theydeclitted the offer.
According 'to advice* received yesterday from
Paris of the 27th nit., Count TOREN() and his
companions still remained in confinement at the
above date ; but the Vrench Government had sig-
nified.to (bent that their arrest had originated in
misrepresentations, and that, as soon as 'partici!.
lar forma would admit of it, they would be re-
stored to liberty. A lettbr from one a the Li-
bOrales (not in confinement), dated the 27th,
stataa, that in two days the prisoners expected to
be liberated.
