We insert, in another column, an Official Return
of Persons receiving Allowances, &c. in the nature
of superannuation, for services in the Barrack De-
partment, and that of the Comptroller of Army :Ac-
counts. Some of the items will probably call forth
animadversions, when Parliament meets. There may
be good reasons for these payments, and, indeed, the
reasons ought to be very good, that can warrant a
continuance of all of them, when the public receipts
f. 411 shwt of the expenditure. We have tot the means
of forming a correct opinion respecting the allow-
ances to the Superannuated Officers of the Barrack
Department ; but the allowance of £3OO a-year to
WILLIAM BnAc.cn, and £6OO a-year to THOMAS
BONNOR, who acted as Commissioners in examining
the accounts of General DE LANCIA', long after the
Commission has finisned its inquiry, requires, we
should think, some explanation. This is not a time
to squander away the public money.

A cause, of con ,iderable importance to the interests
of humanity, was tried yesterday, before Chief-Justice
,ABBOTT and a Special Jury, at the•suit of S. Ma-
nßAzo, the proprietor of a SpanisisAlave ship, against
Captain WILLts, of the CHERUB sloop of war, for
the cargo of slaves, captured by the latter, and landed
at Sierra Leone. The damages were laid at 1:34,500.
Chief-Justice ABLOTT suggested a doubt, whether a.
foreigner could bring an action in a British Court of
Law, for damages sustained in a traffic declared by
the Law of England to be illegal ? A verdict for
£lB,OOO was finally given, subject to the opinion of,
the Judges on this point of Law.—Another point of
Law stands connected with this, which we hope
will not be ovellooked in deciding the question.
He who comes into a Court of Law, in England,
must come with clean hands. If Captain WILLts has
damaged NIADRAZO in seizing his ship and cargo,
was IVIADItAzo's cargo obtained without dt,mage to
others ? Our laws w ill be found equally poweiful,
we hope, in protecting Mack foreigners against da-
mage from white.foreigne; s, as the latter against da-
Triage from English Commanders.

The Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday, ar-
rived this forenoon.

M. DE CAZE has fallen ill, as well as M. de SERRE,
and public business is said to be, in consequence,
quite at a stand. The weekly meeting of the Coun-
cil did not take place, as usual, on Wednesday last.
M. de MAccm, Archbishop of Niseben, had, on
Thursday, an audience of the King, when he pre-
sented his credentials as Papal Nuncio, and was
most graciously received.
The Chamber of Deputies Were occupied in their
bureaux on Thursday, in the examination of the Pro-
ject of Law for the acquittance of the purchasers of
national domaks, of all balances restirz due to the
public. No day stood fixed for the next public
meeting, and none was expected to take place till
this week.

An article from Constantinople states, that the DES'
of Algiers has been induced to reject the united pro-
positions of Admiral FREMANTLE, and the French
Admiral JCIIINE) chiefly through the lying represen-
tations of the person who has recently returned from
being his AmLassador at the English Court. He
had the impudence, it is said, to make the DEY and
people of Algiers believe, that England was never
seriously hostile to the practices of the Barbatesque
Powers.

Letters from Tlipoli, dated tl:c 11th November,
announce, that the pacific system adopted by that
Regency is producing the happiest effects. Its corn-
liierCC and navigation are flourishing. No Corsair
has issued from the ports of Tripoli since the Ist of
July, 1818 ; and the DEY has solicited the mediation
of England, to make his peace with all the Christian
Powers. Me offers to engage never more to molest
any foreign flag.
General Moat r.Lo has sent home a dispatch, dated
Valencia, 13th Septeinber, in which he gives the de-
tails of a very smart exploit, performed by a small
party of Venezuelian Royalists, who surprised the
quarters of General URDANETA, at New Barcelona,
and had nearly taken him prisoner. The part', dis-
appointed of their prey, retired without any less.

FROM OUR PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT.
" PARIS, JANUARY 7.

" Political rumours are the order of the day. Ac-
cording to wine, the Count DE CAZE, finding it im-
po-cible longer to struggle against all parties, has
raiigised, nut{ going off as Ambassador to Den-
mark, and that the orgeßized Banda of Chouans
