FROM THE GAZETTE DE FRANCE.

The political conduct of Messrs. ROTHSCHILD stands
in no need of our eulogium : it has had its recom-
pense in the general esteem with which all Europe
regards them. We cannot, however, resist the desire
we have of mentioning a circumstance respecting the
Loan of Twenty-three Millions, which, as it belongs
to the private life of these honourable brothers,
cannot but throw additional lustre on the elevated
and truly liberal sentiments which animate them.
These Gentlemen, in the high idea which they have
conceived of the French Funds, were desirous that
the different persons attached to their establishments
should participate in the future advantages of the
loan, and have accordingly assigned to each clerk, in
proportion to his standing, a portion of rentes (from
2000 f. to 50,000 f) at the Tate for which they were
subscribed, and the entire advantage of whatever rise
may take place. The differences, in case of a fall in
the Stock, are to be paid by the Messrs.itornscntr.D.
We have not heard tell, in all our preceding loans, of
any Head of a banking-house acting in so generous
and paternal a manner towards the tientlemen of
its establishment.

Marshal SouLT,who has been landed by one of our
contemporaries at Shrewsbury, and thence dispatched
to Dublin, is stated, in the Moniteur of Wednesday,
to have passed through Rodez on the Ist inst. on his
way from his estate at St. Amand, near Castres, to
the waters of Mont d'Or.

VIENNA, JULY 4.—Their Imperial Majesties will
come here to-day. Sir H. WELLESLEY, the new Eng-
lish Ambassador, will have his first audience to-mor-
row. The next day the whole Court, accompanied
by the Archduchess MARIA LOUISA, will go to
Baden. The King of NAPLES with his august family,
will return to Naples on the 17th of this month. His
MAJESTY will go to Leghorn, where he will embark
on board the Neapolitan frigate the Syren.
A Gentleman who had amassed an immense for-
tune in India, at his death bequeathed the sum of
one hundred and fifty thousand pounds to Messrs.
Courrs and Co. the celebrated Bankers, with whom
be had transacted business many years; but from
some unknown motive he left to his widow only five
hundred .pounds per annum. Having always shared
in the comforts of a splendid establishment, this Lady
was obliged to relinquish many of those enjoyments
in which she had been indulged during her husband's
lifetime, and stated to the more favoured inheritors
the privations to which she was compelled to submit,
when they most generously agreed to allow her, for
her lifetime, the interest on the original legacy, so that
the Lady, who is now in her 45th year, possesses an
annual income of 75001.
When the Marquis of HASTINGS quitted the .GO.
veinment of India, he is said to have left six mil-
lions sterling in the Treasury, which, when he first
entered on office, he found nearly exhausted. The
East India Company contemplate lending whatever
funds the ,NizAiss may wapt, at the rate of six per
cent. interest. This will be en arrangement mutually
Advantageous to both parties, since the lc may has
hitherto paid for the money he has borrowed two
per cent. per month, arid Alle Company can procure
whatever amount they please in England at three
per cent.
Tuesday sennight the Bude Harbour and Canal
