CHILI LOAN.

On Monday last, the 17th inst. the general Mortgage Bond,
minted by Don ANTONIO Jose tia Yatsaaar, Envoy from Chili,
as a security for the Loan raised for the service of that State,
and the original special power granted by his Government under
which the same was contracted for, were deposited in the Bank
of England, in conformity with the fifth article of the said Bond,
in the presence of the said Envoy, of Messrs.HuLLETT, Baortreas,
and Co. Agents for the Loan, and of Mr. JOHN Varot, Notary
Public of this city.

The French Papers of Thursday lend Friday have
been received. They confirm the account of the.seizure
of General BERTHON. Notwithstanding the statements
of his arrival in Spain, •it seems doubtful of his ever
having quitted the scene of his rash entvi prize, as he
was seized at Saumur. The arrest of the General
was considered of so much importance, that the Duke
of BELLUNO had a special audience to announce the
event to the KING.

In the Chamber of Deputies, on Wednesday, a spi-
rited debate arose on two subjects, which excited a
considerable degree of party feeling, namely, a Pro-
ject of Law• to re-establish the Seminary of Chartres,
and another to demolish the Opera House. M. de
LAMETN led the opposition to the former. This se-
minary had been abolished at the Revolution, and
the buildings converted into barracks and a civil tri-
bunal. The grant proposed was, therefore, to build
suitable edifices fur the two latter purposes, and to
restore the religious structure to its 'ancient destina-
tion. M. de LAMETII, in opposing this proposal,
animadverted bitterly on the fanatical and super-
stitious spirit at present encouraged by the Court;
and particularly alluded to the establishment of
a Nunnery in the square of the Temple, where the
grandest hotel, and the finest garden in Paris, he
had come into the occupation of the sisters.
In all parts of France convents suppressed by law
were rising, by Court favour, with greater magnifi-
cence than under the old regime ; and the sect of the
Jesuits, who had been driven from European States
as the pest of European society, had returned to
superintend education, and to menace France with
the infection of their pernicious doctrines.
M. de MARCELLUS defended the Bill, and lamented
the fall of sacred edifices, the ruin of churches, the
neglect of seminaries, and the overthrow of religious
monuments.

M. MANUEL opposed the grant, and was often in-
terrupted with cries of cc question," or, as the French
call it, a close of the discussion; upon which it was
remarked by a Deputy of the left side, that they only
wished to close the mouth of the public purse.
The demolition of the Opera-House gave rise to a
similar discussion. It is well known that the Duke
de BERRI was assassinated at this Theatre; a d that
in a room of it he took the sacrament. On this ac-
count it was immediately proscribed by the Court as
a place of amusement, and a new Opera-House was
built at the public expense.
M. BEAUSEJOUR argued against this piece of super-
stitious absurdity with considerable spirit. Because
a Prince," said he, whom we loved was assassinated
in that place, are we called upon to punish a mass of
inanimate stone for die crime ? Is not this to imitate
the conduct of the revolutionary agents, who ordered
the buildings of Lyons to be demolished because its
inhabitants opposed their designs? When Henry IV.
was assassinated, did we demolish the whole street in
which the crime was committed ? When the life of
Louis XV. was attempted at Versailles, did he de-
molish the Palace to shew his horror at the intended
atrocity ?"

It appears by an article from Turin, that the Ex-
iling, Vraroa-EmaNuEL, bad arrived in that city,
with studious privacy. The knowledge of his arrival,
however, gave rise to a variety of rumours. The
two brothers are said to have met each other on the
best terms.
