...The Gentlemen who waited on Ministers yesterday
were•also informed, that by letters kern Paris it was
learnt . that the Trends Minister of Finance had as-
sembled the Bankers and other capitalists of the Me-
tropolis, and had submitted to them the argent and
-immediate demand of the Army department fir a
supply of nacmen and made a proposition for a loan
on the security of ne* duties of customs, Btc. To
which the mtinied men replied, that it was utterly
impossible fcle them to supply the State with the sump
dentarklid. We have not heard the amoutt required,
not the particular object of security held out to them;
-bsit it is obvious, that cut off from all theit exte-
rior resources, disappointed in the produce of their
speculation, of being the only dealer in tobaeeo, inter-
rupted in the market which the licence trade gave
them, not merely for the sale to es of wineic brats`
dies, and other articles, by which their own internal
revenue was kept up, but also in the profitwhiets they
drew from Germany forour colonialproduce, their Ex-
chequer must be at a low ebb; and it is in the power
of the British Government, by preventing all inter-
course, to keep it so.

LIVERPOOL., NOVEMBER 10:
The brig North Star, Captain BAVDEN, arrived
here, at a hate hour last night, from Lisbon. The
following is an extract from her Log-book :

" On Friday, the sth of November, at seven o'clock
P. M. lost sight of the Lisbon fleet, under convoy of
the Meaux ; supposing them to be ahead, made
sail—One o'clock P. M. discovered two strange sail.
I'hey proved to be two French frigates, who had
hoisted English colours.—At about three P. M. sent
a hawser on board, by a life buoy, to take us in tow.
We continued in their possession until nine o'clock
on Sunday morning, when two more sail hove in
sight. The French frigates then cut the hawser, by
which they had us in tow we then hauled towards
these two strange sail, which proved to he an English
seventy-four and a frigate. The latter hailed us, en-
quiring what vessels those were that had just left us
Informed them they were two French frigates.' They
gave three cheers, and made 01l sail. The French-
men were not then half a mile distant, but the wea-
ther being hazy, we lost sight of them soon atter." •
Captain BRYDEN supposes that in half an bout,
from that time, both the French frigates would be in
possession of the British.
