Miasumuza-DATe—Holday at the Stock Exchange.,

With reference to the Debate which took place last
night in the House of Commons, upon the Ordnance
Estimates, and Extraordinaries of the Army, we
have much satisfaction in stating, that Regulations
have been recently adopted for the negotiation of all
Government Bills, on Foreign Stations, by the prin-
cipal
Officer of the Commissariat on the spot. By this
plan, a competition in the money-market between the
Representatives of different Departments of Govern..
ment, is totally prevented, and the high rate of Ex-
change, consequent upon so unnatural a struggle,
considerably checked. The Chief Officer of the Cont
missariat is to receive monthly Estimates from the
Head of each Department, with a specification. of his:
probable weekly wants in each moath. The Money
Agents will then be kept as much as possible in the
dark as to the general wants of the public service.—
These are the arrangements to which the CHAI%CIiLLOR
of the EXCHEQUER alluded in reply to the observations
of Sir TRONA% BARING.

Two days ago we cautioned our Readers not to be
imposed upon by a clumsy fabrication, announcing
a rupture of the Armistice between the contending
Armies. The following letter, from a Morning Paper
of this day, we believe to be also a fabrication, con-
cocted for the exclusive purpose of creating a belief
that there were rumours on the Continent of the same
complexion as the first-mentioned imposition. We
acquit, however, the Editor of any share in the trick :
we ate sure that he would not, knowingly, lend his
authority to cover fraud of any kind—he must have
been imposed upon :

" GOTTZNBUII.O, JUNI L 5.

" The intelligence of the Armistice is received here with great
pleaiure, and it is said that the following are the conditions on
which the Emperor of AUSTRIA requires the accession of NAPO-
LEON to the proposed Congress :—The abandonment of the Con-
federation of the Rhine by France—the resignation of Holland—
the establishment of Italy as an independant kingdom—the limita-
tion of 'the French dominions la ithin the boundary of the Rhine."

Yesterday Mr. PARSONS, the Messenger, arrived at
Lord CASTLEREAGH'S Office, in Downing-street, with
dispatches from Lord CATHCART and Sir CHARLES
SrzwAtrr, dated the 7th and fith inst. A Cabinet
Council, which assembled at two o'clock, sat upwards
of two hours on the subject of these dispatches, and
in the course of the afternoon their contents were an.
nounced in the following Official statement, which we
gave in a Second Edition :
,g Government have received intelligence from the
Head-quarters of the Allied Armies, dated on the
7th instant ; at which period they had been remo-
ved to Reichenbach, about ten or twelve miles from
Schweidnitz, which movement had taken place im-
' mediately on the signature of the Armistice. The
greatest harmony prevailed among the Allied Sove- '
reigns, and both armies were in a complete state of
equipment ; each individual corps having continually
gained advantages over the enemy during the retreat,
in every action which had been fought, though they
Lead been obliged to yield to numerical superiority.
—The terms of the Armistice were considered highly
favourable to the Allies, who would very shortly re-
ceive large reinforcements; and the evacuation of
Breslau by the French is a convincing proof that it
had not been dictated by BONAPA.R TE in the same
spirit which we have observed in former instruments
of this kind.
" BARCLAY DE TOLLY commands in chief at Riech-
enbach. WITTGENSTEIN and BLUCHER remained in
the post of Schweicinitz."

Letters were yesterday received in town from the
Duke of CUMBERLAND, dated from Streletz, theca-
vital of Mecklenburg.
Yesterday the Princess of WALEs received letters
from the DUKE of BRUNSWICK, as did the Duke of
KENT.

Yesterday, about one o'clock, the RUSSIAN AM-
BASSADOR had interviews with Viscount CASTLERE
And Earl BATHURST, at their Offices in Downing-
street.

Mr. DAMPIER, the new Judge of the King's Bench,
vas sworn in yesterday morning. To-morrow he will
go through the ceremony of being made a Serjeant,
after which he will take his seat on the Bench. On
the same day, Mr. COPLEY will be made a Serjeant.
From some articles in the French Papers to the
20th, it appears to be expected that the three Em-
perors, ALEXANDER, FRANCIS, and NAPOLEON, would
soon have a meeting. A letter from Leipzic states,
thatsthe Emperor Of AUSTRIA and BONAPARTE were
to meet at Gitschin, on the 6th ; but the official ac-
counts to the 10th, addressed to the EMPRESS RECENT,
mention no' such interview ; and we may therefore
conclude that it did not take place. It is said that
the Emperor of AUSTRIA is making great exertions
to bring about a Peace, but of the nature of the
terms he means to. propose no hint is given. The
Monikur, under the pretence of giving an account of
the late transactions in Sicily, as published a long
calumnious article, full of tnisrepresentations and
falsehoods, respecting the conduct of our Govern-
ment.—lt is evident that the political improvements
in the state of that island give much uneasiness to
BONAPARTE, and the invective of the French official
journal is a natural consequence of the conviction
that the events which have occurred are not only be-
neficial to Sicily, but conducive to the great object of
European independence.

Yesterday, about four o'clock, the Princess of WALES,
attended by Lady GLENBERVIE, her Mistress of the
Robes, left Kensington Palace in her carriage and
pair. Her Royal Highness proceeded through
Knightsbridge, and just as the carriage got to Hyde
Park corner, the Princess CHARLOTTE passed in her
carriage, and proceeded along Rotten-row, to take
an airing. Neither of the carriages stopped, but each-
passed on. On the arrival of the Princess at York
House, a carpet was laid on the steps and entrance
to the house, for her Royal Highness. The Duchess
Of YORK, attended by Lady ANNE CULLING SMITH,
the Lady of the Bed-chamber, her pages, and livery
servants, in half dress, conducted the Princess to her
drawing-room. In a short time after the Duchess of
YORK sent a letter to the Princess Cirani.orrE, which
her Royal Highness found on her return to Warwick
