This is settling day for the Account; but so little
business has been done, and the fluctuations have
been so trifling during the whole of the •=nt,
that•the day passed Over the same as usual.
for money, are at os % %j, with scarcely any business
doing ; for May, 691/s. Up to twelve o'clock, no
defaulter was declared, and from the trifling differ-
ences to settle, none are expected.

The foolil attempt of the Radicals, in Lancashire
and in Scotland, to better their circumstances by
force, may be considcicd as settled, for the present.
The waves may p7ccert, for a short time, indications
cif the past whirlwind; but the surface will, ere long,
s!-.2w a more tranquil appearance. When the human
.mind has been highly excited, it takes some time to
enable men to view the passing scene with perfeo
composure and judgment.
The events that have excited sex much alarm, pre-

sent seveial facts deserving of much consideration.
The ',umbels of the discontented appear to be con-'
siderable ; and yet, though anxious to make a violent
effort, there can have been among them no regular
system, no leaders of capacity or talent ; for time ut-
rl:ost number uho ventured to maid), with arms of
various descriptions, from their different places of
residence in and near Glasgow, amounted only to
246, and of these only 51 ventured to take the field.
As we stated yesterday, the total number of Mem-
bers of the Union Societies, in and near Glasgow,
fall short of 1000, and never exceeded 1,500 in the
hey-day of Radicalism ! What could such a num-

ber do against the regular Authorities of the country,
even though it be admitted' that many thousands
around them Were highly discontented ? The fact
is, that the whole manufacturing population is, and
not without reason, in a state of great discontent;
but the smallness of the number who have been so
foolish as to embark in an attempt to effect a change
of circumstances by force, affords the strongest evi-
dence that the general feeling of the great majority
revolts at every idea of violence.

Since writing the above, we have been informed
elat accounts have been received in town, stating,
that there has been a riot at Greenock, on the
Radical system, which has been attended with the
loss of eleven lives. We have enquired at differ-
ent sources likely to have been informed, but we
have not been able to learn on what authority
the report rests. It has, however, excited some
surmises, especially from the circumstance of the
Greenock Volunteers not having been named among
those who had been marched to the neighbourhood
of Glasgow.

The Paris Papers of Sunday arrived this forenoon.

The Chamber of Deputies were on Saturday again
occupied with the discussion of the Financial Ac-
counts antecedent to 1819.

A very important diplomatic Note is reported to
have been sent by the Emperor ALEXANDER to the
French Court, in which he declares he will regard as
hostile to himself any armed interference by one
Power with the internal affairs of another. If such
a Note has been sent, it must have reference, we pre-
sume, to the overtures generally understood to have
been made by the Court of Spain to the Members of
the Holy Alliance, previous to FERDINAND'S accept-
ance of the Constitution.
The Duke de 11 iCIIELIEU, as President of the'
Council cf Ministers, has addressed an important
Circular Letter to the Public Functionaries, explain-
ing the spirit in which the two laws recently passed,
on the subject of Public Liberty and the Press, were
demanded by the Ministers, and also the spirit in

which the Public Authorities should direct their

operation. The Duke begins with a liberal decla-
ration—that the two laws are in principle tempo-
my, and should expire with the next Session of the
Chambers. Then follow some observations so weak
and sophistical as to excite pity. The Public Press,
forsooth, indulged in private slander, and taught
the people to distrust a the paternal solicitude" of
she depositories of power. Religion too, he says,
was attacked. This is evidently forced upon the
Duke by that party in the Administration which
supports t. Missionary Priestsa band of igno-
rant and bigoted zealots,. who traverse the Pro-
♦inces, exciting hatred, civil war, fanaticism, and
persecution among the peasantry.—lt is the old
policy of the bigots of that country to identify
religion with their own passions, interests, and
vices. The licentiousness of the Press, the Duke

lip, was at its height when 'restraint became inevi-
lable after the murder of the Duke of BERRY, and he
coaeludes on this subject, with an observation of real
value—that the avowed suspension of the Liberty of
the Press is a:recognition of its rightfulness. There
is %Ise another remark which deserves- notice. He
iayi that periodical publications only are restrained,
and that the march of the human mind is still sub-
stantially free, because works, the result of time and
study, upon every branch of art and science, are still
uncontrouled. He instructs the Public Functionaries
in the manner of refuting malignant calumnies, and
misrepresentations. Ile bids them impress upon the
people within, the-sphere of their respective &Vim
the absolute equality of all Frenchmen itistile EPOOF

the law—in supporting the public charges—..inNine` ry
career—in freedom of religious worship--in se-
curity of all property, legally acquired, by eat
of purchase—and all this, he truly says, is the will
of the Charter and the King, After this comes some
cobweb common-place about the indulgence with
which the Censorship will be exercised, and the qr.,
tainty that the law of arrest is dangerous onlY_to the
bad—because Ministers could have no motive for
injustice and oppression—and because the power
is vested, nc,,: in subordinate agents, but in Mem- l
bers of the King's Council, whom neither spies,
informers, nor false accusers, dare approach !!!—'
The Minister concludes his Circular with a very
fallacious dilemma upon the prospective change of
the Law of Election. That change, he says, must
be beneficent, or The Chambers are too enlightened
and patriotic to give it their sanction. We fear the
alternative does not carry conviction. We shall offer
but one observation more upon this document. Why
did the Minister withhold it until the field of disser-
tation has been left wholiy to himself? If he had not
placed it under the protection of the Censors, the
Parisian Journals would, we suspect, have anato-
mized it rather rudely. There is even something pre-
posterous in stating the grounds of a measure after it
has passed into a law, and become acknowledged by all.
The King of SPAIN has conferred the rank of
Marechal-de-Camp on the Chiefs of the Constitu-
tionalists in the Isle de Leon, QUIROGA• ARCO.
AGUERO, and RIEGO.

His MAJESTY has also issued a Decree, in concert
with the Provisional Junta, by which all persons in-
cluded in the prosecutions instituted against MINA,
PORLIER, LACY, RICIIAnD, and RENOVALES, in the
proceedings of Valencia, -in 1817 and 1819, are re-
stored to the enjoyment of all their honours, and to
the possession of all their emoluments.
The force which was formed in Gallicia, under the
orders of Count de Si. ROMAN, and which in its op-
position to the new order of things caused some
effusion of blood, and the death of the Revolutionary
Commander ACEVEDO, has-been ordered, by an Or-
dinance of the 24th March, to be disbanded.

A letter from Corunna, of the 22d March, says-
-44 The organization of this province still continues ;
all that we have disposable of troops of the line have
been moved towards the frontier of Castile, and the
Junta is occupied, in concert with that of Astdrias,
in forming an Army of from 18 to 20,000 men."—
The news of the disbandment of the Army of Count
de SAINT RoM,►w, which would arrive at Corunna
on the 28th, would probably put an end to these
military preparations.
The last accounts from Cadiz represent that city
as restored to a state of general happiness and tran-
quillity.—Five per Cents. Saturday, 74fr.

We have received this morning letters from Born-
bay, dated the 7th November. They speak with
confidence of the result of the expedition against the
Pirates. Every preparation was making for a fur-
ther reinforcement to be sent. The ORION, which
had just arrived, was immediately put in requisition
to proceed up the Persian Gulf. The native Chiefs
appeared much discontented, and were assembling
troops inall directions.
The cholera morbus still raged in Bombay and its
vicinity. It had caused great devastations among
the natives, and some of the European troops had
suffered considerably.

A severe gale had been experienced at Madras on
the 21st October, in which several ships had been
driven from their moorings, and others on shore,
but no lives had been lost.

We understand there is no doubt of Lord BERES-
FORD'S going to Rio Janeiro.• The SPARTAN frigate
arrived at Lisbon on the 23d ult. from England,
for the purpose,
.as was generally believed there, of
conveying his Lordship to the Brazils. It was ex-
pected to sail on the 3d instant.
There has been a report for two days in the City;
that the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER, instead of
meeting the dilapidated state of our finances with
an effectual measure of retrenchment, means to pro-
pose a Property Tax of six per cent. Ter the first
year, of five per cent. fcr the second, of four for the
third, and so on till the deficiency shall be made,
good. The tax to affect only real property, and to'
affect no income from real property under £250
a-year.—Morning ( hronicle.

TIIE ARMY.

ROYAL BARRACKS AT CIfARING CROSS.

We have already stated, that part of the King's
News were about to be fitted up as a, temporary
Barracks for the reception of troops during the en-
suing trials for High Treason, We now learn that
it is to be a permanent military quarter. Hitherto
there has been no depot of troops in the immediate
vicinity of-any of the Royal Palaces of the Metro-
polis ; and it has been deemed expedient 40 supply
this deficiency, hy.converting great pact of the Royal
Mews, at Charing Cross, into a Barrack for the ac-
commodation of a body of the Life Guards, or such
other troops as may at any. time be in immediate at-
tendance upon the Royal person ; and henceforward
a military force will be stationed there permanently.
The buildings which have been, in the first i;isuznce,
appropriated to this purpose, under the inspection t f
his Royal Highness the Commander in Chief, are those
which form the eastern side of the area, from the back
'of the suttling-house, at Cockspur-street-gate, up
to the "State Stables built by George the Second ;1
and extending, in depth, nearly'to St. Martin's-lane.
In furtherance of this appropriation, Generals Man-
ners and Gwynne, Equerries to his late Majesty, who
still occupy stables in this range of building, have
received notice to quit; as have also the proprietors
of the Colossal casts in the old Riding-house. The
strictest economyhas been attended to in this arrange-
ment. Since the demise of their late Majesties, a
very large portion of this extensive Mews has been
altsegether useless: express orders have been given
to fit them up in the cheapest manner possible, wilout
taking down any part of them ; and the expenses of
quartering the troops will be materially diminished.
