LIAM BURGH PAPERS.

STOCMIOI.I4, Dec. 26.—A remarkable Peels'
ration has now appeared, made by his Majesty its
the Council of State, and delivered to the Diet - -jf
the Chancellor
hic
His Majesty, who laid before the States,
gracious proposal respecting the general cttg
colating currency, and the Mainteoance of /al
value, informs them, that as his constitution
duties do not prescribe to his Majesty .1370
proposal of the kind, his Majesiy's 1404
view was to meet the wishes of the Stale $
of the Public, and give the Diet a fresh prod' ca
his confidence, by communicating the viewi
plans which appeared to his Majesty the hest e 4
•
m
culated to attain the great objects of aintain'ni
, .7.
the value of the currency, promoting the drew
tion, and encouraging industry. His MoiCst,3ll
who-loves to rely implicitly on the patriotism 41;,0
enlightened views of the Diet, will be hePPY- re
learn that the States have discovered means Milo,.
conformable to the important end than those pry
posed, and he may himself reap the fruits of stl.
great exertions.
" His Majesty will find satisfaction in the fin;
sciousness of having spared no pains to attaino;
same end, and his chief reward in the welfare c'
the country.
" But his Majesty, in leaving it to the State 6
to develop at the same time .the importance °i
maintaining the public currency, as also the meos'
embraces this opportunity to declare that, his
jesty and his Royal Highness the Crown Prirce "
not intend to make in future, as they hake hitherto
done, anysacrifices for this purpose; but that hence;
forward the States alone are chargeable with
responsible care to maintain in its vekpe the cur;
rency which is issued under their guarantee, 10
which represents all the private property in 61'0'
lation. As the States have the choice of the meaoh
it is also their business to take measures to exea
cute them ; and his Majesty is assured, that the
Representatives of the Nation will neglect notbil
to fulfil the expectation of his Majesty needo
the Nation. if the States will estimate
necessary means, and apply to his Molest()
to join his endeavours in this respect with
those of the Agents of the Bank, his Aa.
jesty, fully convinced of the iiitlience of the to°'
ney system on the general welfare, is not intis'
posed to contribute to it on his part, ano 'he sad
i flees already made by his Majesty and W"
Crown Prince for this end, give the State a Off

ROYAL ACADEMY.—Mr. TURNER amply com-
pensated last night for the disappointment of the
audience on the previous occasion, owing to the
loss of his MS. by a very instructive Lecture,
chiefly relating on the theory of light and shade,
iis•cOnstituting an essential part of the science of
Perspective. Painters, he observed, were parti-
cularly interested in this subject. He treated
LIGHT under three divisions, viz. common light,
day-light, and sun-shine. The subject was illus-
trated by drawings, as well as by lucid explana-
tion, and the Discourse was thereby rendered as
practically amusing as was consistent with the
abstract nature of the subject. Mr. FUSEL' was
in the Chair.

LORD BYRON.—A letter from Venice of the
2lst of December, received by a Gentleman of
Edinburgh, on the I Ith insr. says,—" Lord
BYRON is here, but does not go much into so-
ciety; he keeps four horses, which, with the ex-
ception of the brazen steeds of Lysippus, are the
only animals of tha► species in the whole city."
Major-General O'LOGHLIN arrived in Limerick

" The vessels recently arrived from the Rio do
not appear to have brought any news of im-
portance. The PRINCESS had not arrived there on
the 9th October. Some of the Vessels with Troops
from Lisbon had arrived. The measure of in-
creasing the Duty on all Foreign Witi.es was con-
sidered as. sure to he adopted, with a view to en-
courage the exportation of the Wines from this
country. It was also in contemplation to burthen
the Export Trade from the Brazils to all Coun-
tries but Portugal with heavy Ditties, but the
measure is.unpopular with the Brazilians, It was
not considered ds at all probable that the Royal
Family would return to Lisbon."
