As a proof of the slender knowledge diffused in this
country on the subject of the French Finances, we ob-
serve a respectable Morning Paper_setting forth, in the
shape of a letter from Paris, that the total National
Debt of France may be resolved into three items—an
Annuity of 2,400,0001. in the Five per Cents. not re.
&entable ; another Annuity of 4,400,000/. in the same
Stock, redeemable when un,ier par ; and a third An-
nuity of 1,224,000/. in the New Three per Cents.
nut the Sinking Fund is stated to be equal to an
Annuity of 3,200,0001. and it is argued that while the
Fives continue, as they must do, above par, the Sinking
Kind will be exclusively applied to extinguish the New
Three per Cents. which will therefore rise in price, so
tilat, it is said, the holders of this last Stock need not
be uneasy at a temporary depreciation. We should
think so, certainly, if the Sinking Fund were to be ex-
clusively applied in the manner stated ; for in this case
would redeem the whole of the new Three per Cents-
esen at par, in less than nine years, inasmuch as there
is no more th.an 32,734,151. of the new Stock in ex-
,leave ; and, by referring to an Annuity Table, it will
be seen that an annuity of 3,200,0001. will, in 18 halt-
years, at the interest of Three per Cent. amount to a
capital of 32,783,0021. The truth is, that the Minister
will, in common serbe, apply the Sinking Fund to the
redemption of the Fives at par, in preference to the
purchase of Three per Cents. under par ; and the pro-
prietors of the Fives, who have their money thus thrown
back on their hulas, will have no other means of re-
investing it, except in the intended Four and a Half per
Ce.a. Stock, and the new Three per Cents. which last
will, therefore, rise of its own accord, to a higher
amount than any other, without the aid of the Sinking
Fund -t all.

This forenoon we received German Papers to the
I ;.th inst. They state that a Mr. LEIDNEIt, agent for
tik: House of lILLLERT and Cu. of London, had engaged
flay pet sons at Freiburg for the London Buenos Ayres
Aiming Company. They are engaged at liberal sala-
fey, for a period of five years. The salary of the In-
spect.r is 5,000 dollars. The Grand Duke of FIEs•E
DARMSTAD r has issued an ordinance for regulating the
marriages of persons of different religions. It declares
the Reformed ti e. Calvinist) as well as the Catholic
Church, is placed on an equal footing with the Luthe-
r.r Church, so that the rules of common law are applica-
bla co all of them, according to which, in mixed mar-
ri:ges, the children, without any di.tinction between
t! .e sexes, are to follow the religious profession of the
I.tl:er, umlesi in the marriage contract made before the
..'ordtion of the marriage, with common consent, a

" PROCLAMATION ADDRESSID TO THE NATION.
" VALIANT Porruouni.—The British Government acts according
tea plan of complete intrigue. They favour our. farty as far only
as they conceive ii consistent with their own Machiavelic views,
with unheard of subtlety, afterwards so managing, that the French
Government should be the executors of the very plots they them-
selves had framed, by extorting the banishment of our Prince, the
only person who ought to reign over us. It was they (British Go-
vernment) who dictated the Decree of the 11th June, on seeing the
publication of our innocence and just pretension*, by he competent
tribunal, was so near at hand, which would have brought eternal
confusion on our enemirs.
" The moment has arrived, Portuguese. The Continental Go-
vernments are on our side, and, although tbt abdication of the King
should not take place, an equivalent will be obtained, without the
number of evils, Portuguese, such a measure would bring with it.
Let us, therefore, unite—let us ward off the tempest gathering
against us, by resorting to a -policy that is not our own. Let us
esxablibh a Regency, presided over by the Queen, our Lady, with
whom alone we can be happy."

We have received the French Papers of Tuesday and
Wednesday. The most interesting article they contain
is a document publ'shed in a Supplement of the Jour-
nal des Debats. It is the Address of a Greek Agent,
Captain NICOLAS Krerca, resident in Rome, to " his
Holiness LEO XII. Pope, Visible Head of the Universal
Christian Church." The ostensible object of this Ad-
dress, which is stated to be presented in the name of
the Provisional Government and Clergy of Greece,
seems to be to procure, through the intervention of
the Pore, a King for Greece; but as it is proposed that
this King shall be appointed by certain Sovereigns,
it must be expected that the direct support of those
Sovereigns would thus be at last obtained to the
Greek Revolution. The Address begins by dis-
avowing all connection between the Greek insurrec-
tion and demagogic principles. Allusion is next
made to the disappointments which Greece had ex-
perienced in the expectation of deliverance through
the European Powers, Russia and France. But
the most remarkable circumstance is, a proposal to',
unite the Greek Church with the Roman Catholic,
and to recognize the Pore as the supreme pastor of the.
Church of CHRIST. As a further inducement, his Ho-
liness is told that " the example of the Greek Church
" when she shall be espoused by the Roman Pontiff,
" will soon draw after it her daughters, the Churches
"of Bulgaria, Servia, Moldavia, and even of Rus-
" sia, and then the prophecy of the Gospel will be
" fillet Lei qui erant dispersi con-
" gregard in onson." He is next requested to invite
the Emperor of GERMANY and the King of FRANCE,
to take into their serious consideration the affairs of
Greece, and to concur in opinion as to the choice of a
King for that country—" a Christian, Catholic, and
" Apostolic King, the issue of the blood Royal of one
"of the numerous reigning houses of the Bourbon fa-
" milies of France, Spain, or of the Two Sicilies, or of
" the Imperial family of Austria, or of the family of
" Saxony, or of that of Bavaria, or of any other family
" the High Powers may think fit to point out." It is
stated in a note, that the Address was delivered, on the
24th of May, to Prince BARBERINI, the Pope's Cham-
berlain, who, on the 6th of June, informed KIEFLA
that he had laid it before his Holiness on the same day
on which he received it: what the answer of the POPE
was dues not appear.

Just as our PaperT—n.m..---as going to press, we received the
ifoniteur and other French Papers of Thursday, and the Stile of
yesterday. They contain little intelligence. The French Funds are
recovering : the Three per Cents. were as high as 72 fr. 10 c. an
Thursday. An article from Constantinople confirms the deaths of
OIOYMUS, TILELAWNIT, and BORALDIA, the Greek heroine.- Thl
Messrs. Rornscnuos have contracted for a new loan of six millions
and a half of florins, to the Duchy of Hesse Darmstadt,
Accounts from Spain state, that they are pressing men for the
expedition to the Havanuah, which it is wished to increase to
20,000 men in all.

THE KING.

Wninsoa, AUGUST 19.—His Nassau has for some time past
enjoyed a more than ordinary good state of health, and daily con-
tinues his airings in his pony phaeton, which he invariably
drives himself, and seldom fails, during his absence from the Royal
Lodge, visiting Virginia Water. The marquees and tents which his
Warsaw had placed there at the commencement of the season are
so commodiously arranged, that the greatest comfort and conveni-
ence are afforded to his MaJzarr and suite during their aquatic
entertainments. Every afternoon during the present week his MA-
JZIITY has dined at 'Virginia Water, and has seldom returned to
the Royal Lodge before half after eight o'clock.

The Princess SoPHIA MATILDA entertained the Du-

ture of china of the first specimens, has just been discovered, close

Correspondent informs us, to the manufactory of that rising branch
of commerce.
