greatest difficulty will be caused by the public
of Westphalia, which has not yet been touched
because many Governments, now in the pos-

:forced loans, are to be considered as mili-
:ouributions, and consequently not to be repaid.

Paris Papers of Tuesday arrived last night.
t'GNOT, the Second Reporter of the Committee
.once, made on Monday his Report to the
dyer of Deputies on the Ways and Means for the
year. The substance of it we haie given at
ingth in our preceding columns. The expendi-
-151.5, is estimated at 975 millions, and the
le at 795,49,000 francs, leaving a deficit of
ds of 221 reillions, to be provided for by
)ans. Alluding to the three loans of last
contracted for by Messrs. BARING, Hort,
; the Reporter stated, that by the first
ans the Contractcrs had realized a profit cf
!r cent. or more properly speaking, that the
lad cost the county a discount to-that extent,
is afterwards admitted, that taking into account
:ole of the ri.ks and tiouble which the original
'rs were put to to make good their engagements,
fits were not more than 9i per cent. which
not, M. Beeusoz conceived, be under all cir-
ances regarded as exorbitant.
persons last charged as accomplices in the
vi FUALDES, have been sent for trial to the
t cf Assize at Albi, but they are not to be tried
Bastide, Jausion, Bax, &c. The Assize will
.mmence till the 25th, as is decided by an ordi-
c the first Presi,leat of the Cour Royale of
;1.,1he. The Authorities at Albi, wishing to turn
7:fit c,f the poor of the department the cuii-
I: t,s-.1..e.1 by the ill pending trials, have issued an
each person trout pay 25 francs for the
ngn: of e:-,t7 during the A, Liaes, and a franc per day
a seat be wanted.

According to the last letters from Paris, the hopes
cia free transit for colon". tl goods coming from Hol-
lod, and L,tined for Swil..2rlancl, :17C much abated.
is known that several Members of tae (,:harnber of
Dtputies have declared agaiast the ~d:nis,,ion of this
tunsit. It is even said, that the majority of the
Committee, which is charged with the examira,tion
the proposal of the Government to this effect, has
a similar opinion, :s said to have been
effected by the Deputies ref Rouen.

Mr. MottonN, a great marolfivturer, of Amiens, is
2.1,1 to 1-e named Reporter of the Committee of the
Customs; and it is exprcl,d in conformity with
ce opinion of the ma;nrity of the Committee, he,
prcposo to reject the prmpnsal to qllow the transit.
is supp..,ed that the Deputies of the two Depart-
cf the Province of Alsace will exert themselves
ae utmost in the Chamber of Deputies to get the
I'mi.:osal accepted, and will 111 speak upon it. Tt is,
4" ever, aot believed that th..:y v. ill succeed.

The letters from St. Y;tt's of tl7e ` ?d state,
6-at sevol er eigllt vessels had been seized there ; two
t ',reach of the N IV igaticn Laws, and the others
for hiring gar,pc.wder on heard without being pro-
‘vith the prrper (-Jr:- in Ceuncil, stating the
174741:7 embarked, and the port of destination. It

is presumed that these ships so detained, were in the
act of conveying warlike stores fot • the use of the
Insurgents on the Spanish Main: •The British Ad..
miral on the station was employing the greatest iri-
f:our to preveht such. infractions of the system of
neu:rality adopted hy the Briti•li Government, under,
which no assistance is to be afforded directly or indi-
rectly, either to the ltoyalists, or to their opponents•
The consequence of these seizures will be very seri-
ous to the ship-owners, and other persons concerned,
as the vessels will be under the necessity of remaining
at St. Kitt's for some months, the British Comman-
der being determined not to act definitively with re-
•poct to them until he shall have received instructions
iron' England.
Letters have been received from Gibraltar, dated
the sth instant, which contain nothing to confirm or
contradict the statement received through France, of
the assassination or sudden death of the Dey of AL-
GIERS. The truth is. that for some time there had
been no recent arrivals at the Rock, either from Mo-
gadore or •any other situation on the African coast,
from whence intelligence as to such an event might
be expected.

The following is an extract of a letter from St.
Mary's, dated the ICth February, 1818:—" I have•
no; much to communicate at present, only to inform
you that AURY is making all possible haste to quit
the place. Our troops are all apparently employed
in the necessary avocations of a cantonment. All is
quiet at Amelia. The United States' ship Adams,
Commodore HEN*LET, and the brig Enterprize, Cap-
tain CARNET, are at anchor in Amelia -harbour. The
United States' brig Saranac, Captain ELTON, and the
schooners Lynx and Tartar, with the revenue cutter
from Savannah, are all lying at the mouth of the
River; likewise the United States brig Prometheus.
An English brig, called the Neptune, -arrived here a
few days ago with eight slaves on board : she was
seized by the Enterprize, and is now at anchor in
Amelia harbour. Another small Spanish brig like-
wise arrived, but of little value: she is now at Amelia
discharging. The markets in this place are quite
short of provisions, and every thing is very dear."
