exceeded four dates the irneunt Mr.Roenecnitn required, in
consequence of which he dismissed them all, saying they must
write a letter, wititAs mann they require, which he would
answer in an bode and a half.• We understand that the Beak
Directors are determined not to upheld foreign speculations,
and that they will not discount fur certain individuals at four
per Cent. who immediately repair on the Royal Exchange and
purchase foreign Securities, by which they realize from seven to
eight per Cent. Up to this hour there has been nothing done in

The state of the Government Press in Scotland
has already been so well exposed, and is so well
known, that we hoped it would not be necessary for
us again to advert to it ; but neither the death of one
individual, nor the trial that took place in conse-
quence,
appears to have allayed that strong party.
spirit c.hich has so long, unhappily, prevailed in the
North : and it still shews itself on all occasions.
—Most of our Readers will, perhaps, recollect that,
about a fortnight ago, Mr. ABERCROSEDY brought
the state of the Scottish Press before the House,
of Commons, and moved for a Committee to in-
quire into the conduct of the LORD ADVOCATE
and other Law Officers of the Crown respecting it. In
the course of his speech, which was one of great mode-
ration, Mr. ASERCROMBY made some remarks on the
conduct of the LORD ADVOCATE'S two Deputies, Mr.
Ulm and Mr. M moues, which these Gentlemen have
resented in to o spirited letters. The letter of Mr.
Maracas will be found in the report of the proceed-
ings last night, and the more lengthened, and certainly
the more temperate, statement of Mr. Hot% will also
be found in another part of our Paper.
In referring to the debate, it will be seen that both
these letters were declared breaches of privilege, and
the authors ordered to attend at the Bar of the
House of Commons on Wednesday next. While this
subject was discussing, it occurred to some Members
in the House that it alight be desirable to order the
attendance of Mr. ABERCROMIY, from some suspicion
that he might take means personally to reply to the
attacks of these Gentlemen.

Mr. Srmten, a Messenger of the House of Com-
mons, immediately proceeded to the Honourable
Member's residence in Spring-gardens. He was there
informed that Mr. ABERCROSIBY had left town
shortly before two o'clock yesterday afternoon ; that
some individual accompanied- Mr. ABERCItOMBT ;
and that the chaise had taken the Barnet road. It
was ascertained that Mr. ABERCROMBY was on his
road to Edinburgh, whence the letters of Mr. HOPE
and Mr. Mamas are dated. The absence of Mr.
ABIRCROMBY was made known to the House ; but in
the meantime Mr. Pan had retired to the Speaker's
Chamber, and there prepared the requisite powers
for the taking of the LORD ADVOCATE'S two De-
puties into custody, wherever they might be found,
in order to secure their observance of the peace._
With such warrants a King's Messenger was sent to
Scotland, and he was accompanied by Mr. STEIN, a
Messenger of the Commons, to serve the Order of the
House on the two Advocates. Soon after the Mes-
sengers had left in a post-chaise ani four, they were
followed by Mr. &MIMI, another Commons Mes-
senger, with the Order of the House to be served on
Mr. APIRCROMET, to attend in his seat in Parliament
" forthwith." This Messenger also left London in a
post-chaise and four; so that if the several Messen-
gers are tolerably active, they may arrive in Edin-
burgh time enough to prevent any hostile meeting
between the parties.

The French Pa pen of Sunday bring accounts of a
new attempt at military insurrection, made by a Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Colton. Like the plot of General
BEATON at Saumur, it neither appears to have been
extensive nor very likely to be successful, and nothing
but the fears and conscious weakness of the French
Government could give importance to such ebtlii-
tions. But the fact is, France is in a very unsettled
and dissatisfied state, and that the Booasous are de-
cidedly unpopular, particularly among the military.
I The details of this new plot, which is enveloped in
