The statement we gave several days ago respecting the Bank
discounting miser per Cent, and the issue of Exchequer Bills at
9d. per day premium, may now be considered as fully confirmed.
It was confidently stated this morning that a notice to the former
effect will be Oriel! made in a few days, and that the Exchequer
Bills will be reedit for issuing by next Saturday. The effect upon
the Funds, in cneaequence, has been very great. Yesterday Con-
sols left off at 24 for Tuesday; this morning they opened at
412 i and went to Os, and at twelve o'clock the Commissioners

pre 821 money, which Is Krim-eights per cent. of a rise dace
yesterday ; on Friday fast they gavoilli, and yesterday NI, .fart
the November account.. Consols were this morning done at
84—India Sonde have again risen to 117 prem. In the market
to day, even at the price of sq, an immense number of pur-
chases have been made, and from the unprecedented scarcity of
Stock on hand, added to the glut of money, a further rise is fully
anticipated during this week.—The prevailing opinion still its
that Consols will.be 90 by Novenibtr nest.

The Paris Papers of Sunday arrived last night.
The trial of the persons charged with the conspi-
racy of the Black Pin, terminated on Saturday in
des minimal of Ms easels of Me prisoners. Without de-
siring to insist on the degree of innocence which may
be justly claimed by the acquitted, we may be per-
mitted to express the satisfaction it gives us, to find
that an honest jury has rescued them from the hazard
of adding to the number of victims for the crimes
and errors of a period, which the sooner the veil of
oblivion is permitted to fall over it the better. "It
is time," said M. CLAVEAU, one of their Counsel,-
with a degree of candour and good sense which the
French Government would do well to appreciate as
it merits, ,c to look for facts of another nature—
When the King ordered the disbandment of the
army he was obeyed ; but do you suppose that there
were neither complaints, nor regrets, nor murmurs,
nor projects, nor protestations? Officers and soldiers
said as they embraced • All is not ever—we shall see
each other again' The noble Marshal who then
commanded saw all, heard all, but preserved his
equanimity; he left his brethren in arms to time,
and ab.)ve all to their own generosity. These, Gen-
tlemen, are the considerations by which we ought to
appreciate the Association of the Friends of the
country, which had its birth on the Banks of the
Loire, and the feeble remains of which are now ex-
piring before you."
It appears from official accounts, that the French
imports during the year 1816, amounted to the sum
of 42,151,511 fr. and the exports to 90,106,928 fr.,
leaving a balance in favour of the imports of
22,046,585 fr. Of this balance this country has
doubtless the largest share, so that we may consider.
ourselves as not altogether without compensation, for
the share of our national income which is annually
lavished away by our emigrant countrymen in France.

COUOt CHAMIOL, who was Igtely advanced from
the trefeetship of Lyons to the office of Under Se-
amity of State to the Minister of the Interior, has

fect of Amiens I and Count D'ALLorivaLc, Prefect
of Rennes, has been transferred to the Pletectship of
Amiens.—Trench 5 per Cen;s. 4tb Oct. 65 fr. 55 c.

A Hamburg!' Mail, which artived last night, has
brought us German and other Papers to the sth inst.
from.which we subjoin some Extracts. A Caisasiraiers,
it will be observed, has been appointed for the trial
of Colonel MattighDACH. But why a Commission?
Why 'are not the ordinary Tribunals entrusted with
the determination of his delinquency ? The reason
is but too plain. A Commission, composed of per.
sons of the KlNG's—•that is, the accusing party's own
nomination—and with no rule but his sovereign
pleasure to guide them—cuss and will do what no or-
dinary tribunal would or dorsi venture to do.
BERLIN. SEPTEMBER so.

The Prussian Colonel Massenbach is now in Cue-
trin. According to authentic accounts, he has bees
arrested on account of repeated transgressions of his
duty, as Prussian Staff Officer, upon the report and
at the request of the whole Council of State, and
proceedings accordingly ordered aglinst him. These
will be directed by a Commission appointed fee the
purpose. At the particular wish of M. V. Kamen-
bach, Lieutenant-General Von Dierike is appointed
a Member of the Commission. The inquiry will be
solely confined to his military transgressions ; and it
is expressly decided that all political •iews and opi-
nions shall be entirely excluded from it.

STUTOARD, UrTRPADIR la

A second Royal rtscript against the corp. of writers
has ban lewd, which *ally 41111,441111 kis Majesty's

firm resolution to relieve his subjects, particularly
those of the lower class. In a few days a third re-
script is expected, according to which, all arbitrary
taxing of accounts, of partitions of inheritances, arc.
is to be wholly abolished, and fixed salaries appointed.
Wurtemburg will then be indebted to the energy and
the feeling heart of the- King, for its deliverance from
a bnrden which has oppressed it for 300 years, and
against which many former Princes have contended,
with perfect judgment indeed, but yet in vain. In
the accomplishment of his solemnly pledged word
on this subject, the Kipg is very strongly aided by
the indefatigable real of the Minister Von Wangen-
heim, who already, in the last reign, made some pro-
posals to the same effect, but was baffled by a power-
lul opposition.
Count Malthus, formerly Minister of Finance to
the Ex-King of Westphalia, who carries on the ne.
gociation respecting the purchase of the estate of
Ochsenhausen, is still here.

WARSAW,

bassy at Paris, is gone from this city to Putawy.
