MUTINY BILL.

Lord PALmeasroN moved the Older of the Day
for the third reading
.0 the Mutiny BHI.
The Order being read,' •"f hat this hill be now
resththe third time"—
Lord NuGENT begged to inquire whether the
first itcsolinion included the service for Intik& •
Lord .PALmettsTON said, that thr lic•solution had
better be rvad was rend by the Clerk ; it did
not include hit service. _ _

Lord NuouteT then rose —lle said it was far
from his wish to enter at length into the detail;
of this question. Ile feared the motives by which
he was actuated, iii addressiug the House, would
make hut little impression on the 'Gentlemen op-
posite ; the few 7 observations which he had to
make should threfore be applied to the principle,
not" to the details of the subject tinder discussion-.
He felt, however, that he should shore the time
of the House if he coofinerl himself to that cold
anti uninteres-ing matter (he said it with defe-
reoce to the Noble Lord), in which the estimates
of so. great tt military force, in time of peace,
were annually,brought forward. The maintenance
of a large st array in time of peace was al-
ways looked upon with an eye of jealousy ; it was
rejealOtisy formerly strongly felt, but he feared
that it hattnow become an old-fashioned feeling.
Ile_should he sorry if such was the case, but he
could not help thinking that it was the fact. He
did not, for himself, see the necessity of main-
taining . such a force ; he thought, indeed, that
,a better mode of defence might, in times like
the present, he resorted to. He considered that
.force, with reference to its avowed application,
as worse than useless, he considered ,that.it was
supported in contradiction to the soundest prin-
ciples of the Constitution. It would, he said,
alarm our ancestors, if they could contemplate
the present . situation of the country—if they
could look at the state at our military establish-
ments. After five years of profound peace we
have an army of ninety-two thousand men, ex-
clusive.of twelve thousand yeomanry and other
force ! What did this force mean? What was it
but a gigantic stride towards a military Govern-
ment ?--(hear, hear !)----He looked in vain,
from what fell from the Noble. Lord in the re-
cent debates in that House, for any thing that,
in the state of this country, in the temper and
feelings of the people, could justify this mons-
trous revolution in the constitutional Govern-
ment of Eneland. The Noble Lord Seeme' to
rest the vindication of Ministers on the-notoriety
of the necessity for calling out that force. He
was not disposed to admit as a postulate of the
Noble Lord's, that any thing which had recently
occurred in the coutt!ty did justify so great a
change in the Coencils and Government. He
recollected that. about four years ago, a set of
estimates to a considerable amount efts laid be-
fore the House. He must remind tire House
that on a former occasion, when Ministers hav-
ing lost the Property 'fax, they withdrew the
Army Estimates, and that circuthetance gave
biro hopes that on consideration they would
conceive that something less than 92,000 men
would now be sulli,ietit. The Finance Commit-
tee, in the year 1817—a year, he it remembered,
of such imagined' dasnger that his Majesty's Mi•
nisters had thought tin to'suspend the Habeas
, Corpus Act—in that year the Finance Committee

Itati reeninerionrid an Eip.prOxinistion OF the army
to the standard of the year 1792. 1-1, admitted
the public distress, and consequent tlisaffction
which existed, but he contended they ,sere ag-
gravated by the course no‘v pursued. There was
a Comniotee in another place on the Foreign
Trade, and they had a Committee of their own on
the Agricultural Distresses, but they could only
come to the conclusion, that a large standing
army was not the way in which the distresses of •
the manufacturer could he telieVeri, the enterprise
of the merchant reanimated, or by which the
farmer could he restored to his farm as it was be-
fore it was ruined by taxation ; and, above all, it
was not the way to reclaim the public confidence
in that House, and eonvince the people that it
stood where the Constitution had placed it, as a
barrier bet \teen the public and a system of profu-
sion and extravagance unparalleled. The Noble
Lord disclaimed any intention to give expression
to exaggerated statements, but he must de-
precate the frequent interference of the military
on all occasions ; the other day they were called
in on the occasion of election of a Member of
that [louse. most still contend that the
addition last year, in time of profound peace, of
11,000 men to the military force, was a total
lation of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights,
as bring raised without the consent of
merit, and when the Parliament did :meet it had
not even been though; necessary. to apply for a
Bill of Indemnity. He considered the additional
.burden on the country as by far the least part of
the evil, yet it the amendment which he should
propose was carried, the actual saving would he
above half a million. 'Flue Noble Lord concluded
by coojhrihg the House, it they would long pre-
serve their own existence and the Constitution of
the country, that they would vigilantly discharge
their duty in presenting a gheck to the system of
governing by means of a standing army. He then
moved, that in place of 92,224 men,
.77,224
should he substituted.

The SPaAKaR obs,rved, that after the Bill was
read the third time would he the proper period to
propose the amendment. The Bill was then read
the third time, and on the Speaker putting.the
question for the amendment,
\lr. BRIGHT rose and said, that he could see no
reason to increase the establishment beyond that
of the year 179'2. It was true that many changes
had occurred since theft, anti many bad scenes
been witnessed ; among others, that of a military
body charging an assemblage of persons who,
whether legally met together or not, he would nut
say, yet it was Celtak that they considered them-
selves a legal assembly. He did not believe in the
existence of any disaffection to the con,titution of
King, Lords, and Commons, though doubtless the
people thought there were some things which
might be amended, and in that class they included
the extraordinary increase at the militaty force:—
To the amount of that increase he would support
the proposition of the Noble Lord, and it Aliois-
ters would not consent to that modification, he
would vote for the entire proposition.
• 'Lord PALMartSTotsl ihsisted that the country
was essentially differeat in its condition now from
what it was in 1792, !is well from die increase of
the colonies, as the ill-lisp sed minds of the peo.
We. -With .rega'rd to calling out the Veteran Batta-
lions last year, it was always a principle that where
there was ans„, apprehension of outward war, or
as' be cow ended, of internal commotion, which
was as bad, the Government was justified i•
having recourse to the Military,--(Hear, heat,
hear.)—Parliament was not kept in ignorance
of the' circumstance, for it was mentioned in
the speech from the Throne, and re-echoed
in the Addresses of both Houses. If the !liing
had been unconstitutional, the Noble Lord
and his Friends should have noticed it before,
far it happetied some months ago,--(Hear, hear !)
If the House looked back to the disturbances at
Glasgow, and the conspiracy tried in the City,
they would see that these measures were warrant-
ed by the circumstances. He denied that the corn-
motions were the consequence of the restrictive
measures, but preceded them. The Ministers
were not the. aggressors.; they were trying to
shelter the people from the consequences of them.
The Noble Lord concluded some more observa-
tions,. by protesting that the military were not
called out to diminish the liberties of the people,
but to enforce them. They were called out to
protect that Constitution against the 'ow rages of
daring agitators, which was the best inheritance
to them all, and which he hoped would .be handed
Clown entire to their children.—(Hear !)
Colonel DAVIES supported the necessity of a
reduction. He contended that the force of 1819
was quite sufficient for the present timt s. In case
the 1-louse should think that the Amendment ut
the Noble Lord went too far, lie should there-
fore propose as a middle term, which .world re
place
,the army on the. foot login which it was in.
1819,' that its numbers do not .exceed 80,479
It was one conaelltience oldie too frequent jitter-
. ference of the military", that the people themselves
were dispirited from 'Making resistance. • ! -
The SPEAKER then Dot the question; that " the
words proposed to be left out do stand as part of
the

Sir 1-1. VI/lAN said, that having had the honour:
to be appointed on the Staff in, Scotland at the
time the augmentation complained of took place,
he rose for 'the purpose of snaring some facts
which came within his own knowledge. The
population of Glasgow, consisting of nearly
200,000 persons, were in a state of discontent
not to be conceived. The Field Officer of the
7th regiment hail informed him', that in that
neighbourhood he bad seen a body of '25;000
men, not armed certainly, but they dispersed'
in a manner so regular, that it would have
been highly creditable to any body of. discip•
lined troops whatever. A good deal had been
said about the yeomanry ; they certainly were
a deserving body of men, hut he would by all
means recommend their not being opposed in the
first instance to any popular commotion ; and he
was satisfied that the affray which took place at
Greenock would not have occur7ed had the escort
been of the regular troops. He deprecated any
reduction of the forces now, as a misplaced and
false economy, which would infallibly lead to fu-
tore evil consegoeoces. tie denied that he now
rose as a defender of the army, and he hoped he
'had sufficient liberality to feel, that when eircum-

VatlcLq or it, tile make
sderifices, as well as every other class of the c,)ra-

Alr.tiottiOutig said, that the embodying of the
rrtldi iottal force was an infringerthsrit of the 13‘11
of Rights ; and as to the necessity now, which
did not exist in 1792, he denied that thc7e was
any; for iu 1793. after the King of Fiance had
been pot to death, an increase of 2.000 then only
took place. lie should vole for the proposition
of the Noble Loid, because it wen, further than
that of the gallant Colonel (Da‘ie,) ; and if ihe
Noble Lord had voted the reductioit of the whole
-army, he should have voted with him.—(l-fear,
hear, hear !).1-le perfectly tioderstood the Wean-
ing of those cheers. The Noble Lord was backed
by his Parliamentary majorities aid a standing
army, whilst he (Mr. littbboust) had nothing to
support hirnbut the consciousness of doing his
duty. The mil question was, if the country was
to be governed by a. standing army or not ; and
on this head be would quote what bad been said
by Fletcher of Salton!), "•that there were doubts
if a standitig artily could vai,triish our foleign ene-
mies, but no doubt whatever that they could en-
slave us." The Lion.Alember here recApitttlated
tile progress of the standing army in this country
from 111 first formation, in the appointment of 50
yeomen of the grand by Henry VII. down to the
present time. Lle observed, that James 11. attempt-
ed to maintain 30,000 men ; we had now 35,000

men for England only ; they were not, it was
true, encamped at floooslow, but if that House
of Commons did its duty, he expected to see
them there. Standing armies anti standing
Parliaments came in and coutinne to flotirish
together, but he hoped the one would soon be
shortened, .and the other diminkhed in an equal
proportion. The topics be had urged on their
attention were not new; they were the senti-
ments of the political ancestors of every twoi who
sat in that House. Against an establishment at
the utmost ,of eighteen thousand men bad en
arrayed the wit of Lord Chestetfidd, the po-
litical knowledge of Sir William Wyndham, and
the sound sense of Sir Robert Walpole. He
thought it rather singular that the 25,000 men
who had been seen by the Officer, as stated by
the Gallant General -opposite, considering the
space of ground which they must occupy, had
been seen by no one else, and had never been
heard of till that moment. In proof that
there was no necessity for so large a force to
put down internal commotions, he alluded to the
ease with which in London Alderman Wood
had put down an apparently formidable meet-
ing; at Derby one Officer and 18 men snaked
to crush an insurrection ; and at Nianthes er ,
100,000 people had been dispersed by a, 510:111
number of drunken yeomanry. As to seditious
publications, be professed to regard them as of no
effect whatever, it no cause for conaplaint realty
existed ; butt-if cause for neiveisal complaint did
exist, it would not be 92,000-men which could
prevent the catastrophe which Ministers dreaded.
Colonel DortEs and Sir H. VIVIAN mutually
explained.
Mr. VESECY FITZGERNLD was persuaded that
nothing but a sense of &sty could have occasioned
she ueliviry of the extraordio.#ry expr,,ssbm onsi
tentiments which the House had just heard. He
would not attempt to follow the lion. Member,
for in one sentence he thought he had furnished et
reply to,all his other arguments, for he had said,
that he was not only prepared 10 vote for the
proposition of the Noble Lord, but also to disband
the army entirely. lie thought that as it re.
girded Ireland; so far from being able to with-
draw any part of the force from thence, if soma
tranytillizing measures wet e not adopted ,t he troops
t:iete would be insufficie it for the maintenance
of the public peace. He did rot tisain to con-
tend that the present amount of force should be
contemplated as permanent,_ bat what he would
strongly argue against was, the endangering the
country by arty sudden reduction of that force at

present.
Mr. W. SMITH thought that no greater proof
could be given of the bad government exercised
for centuries by this Country towards Ireland,
than the want from year to year of a military force
to keep down its population. Nothing showed a
good Government so clearly as an easy, happy,
and contented people. When had the Irish been
such a people Unless wiser measures were
adopted, it would become necessary for ever to
maintain them by the use of the bayonet and the '
sword, and instead of a permanent source of
strength, one of weakness would be found in a
country, which under a better system might be.
come the right arm of England. Ile did not be-
lieve that the standing army was kept up to des
stroy the liberties of the subject, but partly front
habit, and partly from the influence with which
it armed the Ministers. Ile recommended eco-
nomy as more calculated to conciliate the affec-
tions,ot toe people, and to produce public trans
quillity, than the maintenance of a large standing
army.
Mr. V. FITZGERALD explained.
Mr. it.. MARTIN (Galway) said, be thought ,
the Genilemen opposite made use of al ginnents
calculated to keep up a standing army, when they
-told the Radicals that the Government kept up a
standing army for the sole purpose of subjtrgats
ing the' country. Was it not fitter for them to
quiet the perturbed spirits in the country, and say,
that the Ministrs wire doing all in their power
to afford relief The Hon. Member complimented
Mr. Hobliouse on the improvutrie'ut in his political
opinions, and congratulated him on the temper
which, he had acquired. He never heard a more
constitutional speech from the other side of the
House than that delivered by the Hon. Member ;
but he would ask the House, what was likely to
be produced in the public mind by desiring theta
to pull the Members out by the ears ?—(Order,
order !)

The SPEAKER—" I an) quite satisfi.d it will not
be Necessary for me to appeal ro the House, and
shall submit it to the consideration of the 1-I,•n.
, Member, whether, in stating what he has now
stated, he has not alluded to what cannot be Con-
nected with the question before the House, and
whether he can do so consistently will the outer

Mr. MARTIN resumed.—lf the House were of-
fended at hearing. the expressions, he doubted the.

We received last night and this moriiing
Paris Papers of Sunday and Monday last.

Immediately after the reading of the proces verbal in the
Chamber of Deputies on Saturday, M. LATITTE rose for
the purpose of opposing the adoption of it, and of stating
that the Chamber was divested of all freedom of delibe-
ration ; he was interrupted by murmurs on the right,
but proceeded to state, that during 3 week past blood
bad not ceased to flaw in the Capital.—lle was again
interrupted lry'exclamations on the right, anti loud cries
of hear, hear on the left. He repeated his assertion with
the addition, that on the preceding evening blood had beets
shed in a manner still more "dreadful than on the preceding
days. He proceeded to read a letter signed by several inha-
bitants of the Quartre of La Porte Saint Denis, stating that
a number of persons bad been wounded, and one killed, by
the troops on Friday evening, at Let Porte Saint Martin. In
the midst of reading the letter, considerable agitation was
produced in the Assembly, by• M. DE CnacELbescalling out
La Voi/a, and producing half a sabre,which had been broken
in one of the contests in the streets, and left behind. M. LA-
trrrt proceeded at considerable length, and observed that he
did not a pprovesof riotous assemblages, but was it astonishing
that the citizens who failed in having their wishes attended to.
in the ChambeA,'thould seek to express thew, as far as pos-
sible, iii the most legal way ? Several voices ealfedtiut "revolt-
is not legal." M... LAFITTE contended, that under a Represen-
tative Government it could not be called a revolt, when the
citizens assembled without using sedition% expressions: Here
there was an explosion (to use the French term.)of voices on
the right and to-the centre of the right, M. DE MONPEALS',
"'That. is not true." From the left," It is true, go on." M.
Larrrrn went on to say, that It was true seditious expect-
ions had been used, but they kad been used by agents of
police and not by peaceable citizens. After some further
observations, he 'concluded by moving that the Ministers
should furnish informatiorarespecting the events on Friday
and the preceding days. M. DE MONITALM said it was false
to assert there were no.seditioas shouts amongst the mob, as
be bad heard them. CASIMIR PERIER expressed great
indignation at the cotrilttct of Ministers. The KEEPER of the
Sl,.aLs said that rebellion had been prepared and organised,
and that ail the indignation of the Chamber .ought to be di-
rected against its authors. To pursue • a contrary course in
the Chamber, was thd next step to orgairizing rebellion.
" Messieurs, (said the Keeper of the Seals,) the rebellion is
organized—it has its chiefs—its signals—its pass-words-
its manceuvres. Every pacisc means, he added, bad been
employed in vain, before resorting to force." Here he
read a passage front a Report addressed to him by Lieutenant
General the Count DEFRANC a, stating that stones had been
thrown at the troops, and that amongst the shunts, on the
part of the mob, was heard Virent.nol Freres de Manchester.
The Kernuut of the Soars proceeded to state, that of the sys-
tematic organization of the rebelliou there could ly! no doubt.
"Now," said he, " what do yon think of the efforts made
in this Tribone to inflame the passions, and to justify sedi-
tious mobs ?" A loud noise to the left—a voice " You habi-
tuate yourself to calumny." The KEEPER of the SEA LS—"
attack no One." MM. LA FITPE and CAzilkfili

" You seem to point to us." The lieEftA of the SgAL3 agail
declared that he attacked no one personally. M.B. CON-
STANT insisted on speaking, and the greatest confusion en-
sued. Al. HAvrerEtmot,said the discussion wonid agitate
France, and he therefore called for a Secret Committee.—
This was supported by five Members. M. B. C crarANT at
length obtained a hearing, when his quoting a letter, stat-
ing that the writer saw the Cuirassiers cutting down men,
women, and children, and their Officers encouraging them
to slaughter, renewed the confusion. CONSTANT at length
gave up reading the letter, and proceeded at some length
to arraign the conduct of the Ministers. The KEEPER of the
Si:.ts again spoke, for the purpose of contradicting what he
called false ?did lying accusations. After another scene of con-
fusion, the proses verbal was adopted; the demand for a Secret
Committee was found not to be perfectly consistent with form,
and the Chamber proceeded to the renewed discussion of the
Election Projet. After making some alterations to adapt the
projet to the amendment of M. Bois:, the further discussion
was adjourned till Monday.—The following are extracts:—
" Palm, .lure 11.—A mob again assembled on Friday
evening on the Boulevard, near theoPorte Saint Denis and the
Porte Saint Martin. The peace officers endeavoured in vain
to disperse the rioters, and it became necessary to employ the
armed force. The National Guards, united to different de-
tachments of cavalry, succeeded in arresting some of the most
turbulent. Several deplorable accidents took place in th(
tumult. 'At 11 o'clock tranquillity ,was re-established. It
appears that the principal object of the rioters was to attack
the Palais Royal, in the hope, doubtless, of plunder.
" Several Marshals assembled yesterday at the residence
of Marshal Macdonald, who commands the troops in Garrison
at Paris. •

" Ilk the tumult on Friday night, several persons were
wounded, and nne man was killed.

" A Proclamation issued by the Prefect of the Department
of the Seine and the Prefect of l'olice calls upon the citizeiss
of Paris to second the Magistrates by .ectry means in their
.powerrto maintain the public tranquillity.
" JuNt le.—Fifty persOns, forming part of the mob, were
arrested on Friday night, and conveyed to prison.

"Satorday evening, at six, a eery considerable armed
force was stationed on. the Boulevards of the Portes Saint
Denis and Saint Martin. Patroles of. National Guards and
Geudarwerie scoured the place where a mob had assembled
the evening before. These precautions had the best effect ; a
mob began to assemble, but seeing themselves surrounded,
they dispersed at the first summons of the Magistrates, and
no trace of any political assemblage was afterwards to be dis-
covered.

" The tranquillity of the Capital was not disturbed yester-
day, nor uP to II o'clock last night. The troops were under

arms.

" It has rotated a part of the system of the agitators to pro-
pagate in the Capital alarming rumours respecting the situa-
tion of the Departments. Thus reports have been circulated
of disturbances at Rouen, Amiens, Sc. which are wholly
unfounded, the most perfect tranquillity prevailing its the
Departments. _ _ _

The King yesterday received the Grand Dignitaries,
Ministers, Ilarstiats, &c.

" It appears that new disclosures have been made respect-
ing the xritne of Louvel, and it is affirmed, that the proceed-
ings are to be resumed in the Chamber of Peers.—(Gazctie de

As the business of the Empire is suspended by
negbeiations respecting her MAJESTY, it is to be
hoped that the matter will soon he. settled one
way or other. We still persevere in the opinion,
that the Advocates for suppression of evidence on a
su►bjeet in which the character of her MAJESTY
is so deeply interested, are by no means her
friends, whatever their motives may be. They
may be humane and kind, but they must be weak
Advisers, since they seem willing, that, under
charges of the utmost importance to her character,
that character. shall be transmitted to Posterity
with suspicions attached to it which no ingenuity
can remove or' palliate. But these weak Al.
visers of her MAJESTY pay a very ill compliment
to the principles and feelings of the People
in supposing that they are so wholly indiffe-
rent to the question that they are ready to
allot a vast income to her while such
gloomy clouds bang over her, an income which
they would no doubt most cordially contribute, if
once her innocence shall be fully ascertained. The
Quzing returned to this country with such an ap-

parent eagerness to vindicate her character, that
she even hazarded tier life upon an occasion that
so deeply affected her reputation. Solely then
the same eagerness for the justification of her con-
duct, and the manifestation of her innocence, must
still exist in her mind, and render her unhappy
till the charges bro'ught against her are wholly
refuted in the eyes of mankind. It is notorious
that Ministers made all possible efforts to pre-
vent her return, in order to obviate that Party
clamour which appeared to be the inevitable
consequence of her arrival. But when that fatal
event occurred they felt what was due to the
KING, 10 the Country, and to themselves, and they
submitted to Parliament the charges Which it was
deemed necessary to examine, in order to disco,
ver whether her conduct had been such as to en-
title her to share- the honours of the' British
Throne. Such conduct was obviously dictated by
a pure sense of justice, a regard to" the ho-
nour of the Sovereign, and respect for the
opinion of the Nation. We cannot but ad-
mire the sagacity of the Morning Chronicle
of this day,. which,. after stating that Mr.CANNING
had yesterday an audience with the KING, ven-
tures to interpret from the " manner" of that
Gentleman in the House of Commons, that the
subject on which be addressed His MAJESTY
must have rela►ed to THE QUEEN, and that the
result was gratifying to Mr. CANNING. This
is a species of second sight that must place the
Morning Chronicle upon a level with the Oracles of
Antiquity, and give even its conjectures the weight
and solidity of tact.—We have received so much
commendation on the part that we have taken,
which many of our Correspondents have stated to
be " open, manly, just and honourable, seeking
nothing but the truth, and anxious for a tine
vindication of her MAJESTY from' charges under
which she cannot he at rest," that, with the full
consciousness of deserving the commendation
which we have received, we shall persevere in the
same direct course., in spite of the wiseacres of the
COMMON Cotnica., who, upon the ,principles on
which the Majority have acted' on the present
occasion, cannot be supposed to express the
sentiments of the Citizens of London, who
have always been animated by a zeal for justice,
though ,ornetimes under the influence of tarty,
but who must feel that the character of the
Country is involved in the question, and who,
reflecting on-the dignity that belongs to the Ca,
pibkl of the World, will be ready to exclaim-

fectly healthy.

THE KING'S Levee.—Yesterday, at 2 o'clock,
his MAJESTY held his fourth Levee, since his ac-
cession to the Throne, at his Palace in Pall Mall.
The King first received the Foreign Ambassadors,
Ministers, &c. and those entitled to the privilege
of the entre. The Duke de Tv es, the Spanish
Ambassador lately arrived in England, was intro-
dined to his Majesty by Earl Bathurst, one of his
Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State, and con-
ducted by Sir Robert Chester, the Master of the
Ceremonies. His Excellency delivered his cre-
dentials, and was most graciously received. The
Russian Ambassador was introduced to the King
in a similar manner, and delivered his new cre-
dentials to his present Majesty, which were most
graciously received. Mr. Rush; the American
Minister, was introduced to his Majesty with,the
same ceremony. Count Palmella, the Portuguese j
Ambassador, was introduced,' and took leave of I
his Majesty previous to his leaving England.
.Prince Esterhazy, the Austrian Ambassador, the
Russian Ambassador, 'the Portuguese Ambassa-
dor, the Duke of Devonshire, and the Earl of
Ailesbury, came in state. 'There were present,
their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Clarence
and Gloucester, the Archbishop of Canterbury,
the Cabinet Minis;ers, the Great Officers of State,
'ant, a considerable number of Noblemen and
Gentlemen. The presentations were numerous.
His Majesty
_afterwards gave audiences to the
Duke of York, the Duke of Wellington, Mr.
Canning, and Viscohnt MelbOUrne.
BANKs.—(More Failures.)—We are sorry
to understand, that the Bank of Sir WILLIAM
ALEXANDER, Bart. and Co. of this City, has this
morning suspended its payments. This circum-
stance immediately acted upon the apprehensive
disposition caused by what has taken place in the
south, and a smart run upon all the private
Banks followed. The demands, however, were
met not only with confidence, hot with liberality
by the majority of the Banks. Messrs. Ball and
Co. Latouche and Co., Finley and Co., and
others have beets discharging their unaccepted
Post Bills, as if made payable on demand. There
is no fear entertained ultimately for any of the
Banks which are thus visited by the effects of
popular panic—( The (Dublin) Correspondent,
