DUBLIN. Aran. 3.

•
A very unpleasant discovery was made yesterday by
Messrs. Gibbons and Williams, stockbrokers of this city. This
respectable hem act as notaries public to the Bank of Ireland, and
in that capacity have in Heir employment, to collect and protest
the bills of the Bank. certain clerks, who are in the day-time in
the employ of the Bank of Ireland, as receivers, Etc. From the
double situations these clerks hold in the Bank and in the Notaries
office, they have been enabled to defraud their employers, by
returning to the Bank of Ireland sums as paid to Messrs. Gibbons
sod Williams, which they had returned to Messrs. Gibbons and
Williams as not having been paid to them at all; and in this
way they daily, for some time, have been detaining sums and repay-
%' them in a similar manner on a subsequent day; something in the '
smatter practised by the late unfortunate Faunderoy. The matter
i. now under investigation at the head Police-office, and three of
(..ese clerks were committed to prison. Two of them escaped be-
t.-me there was time to arrest them. The extent of the depredations
ire not known ; but it is believed they are not very extensive, or
Ow this trade has been long carrying on.
Matt s.—Nothing further has transpired connected with this
airasrmscance, nor have the other two persona implicated been as
Itt apprehended. The Banktsolicitors are busily engaged in pre-
Paral the necessary informations, before the persons now in custody
are h ally committed for trial. A Gentleman, holding a high and
respectable situation lir timestabliShment, has been dismissed ; not
let sty participation in the embezzlement, but for inattention, in
not exercising a sufficient vigilance, by which the present frauds
mien have !tech prevented.—Preestatis %Animal.

Public anxiety in relation to the forming of an
efficient and united Administration was evinced law night by the

crowded appearance, at an early hour, of the House of Common•,'
in order to learn the result of Sir T. Levusamoa's Motion on the
subject. There seemed to prevail a general curiosity among the
Hon. Nlembers as to the effect of his Mean:it's arrival in town.
Little transpired to gratify this natural curiosity on the part of
the House, or to relieve public anxiety. The Honourable
Member for Somersetahire was induced to withdraw his mo..

tion, without baying elicited more from Ministers than that 0 ar-
rmipments were not so far advanced in the formation of an

Administration" as to make his Address to the Throne too late.
—Sir T. Larusatuoi said, after the explanation, he could not with-
draw his motion; but, in a subsequent part of the evening, be with-
drew it fur the present.

Advices were received this morning from Vera Crux
and the Havannah, by.the Calliope, who left the for-
mer place on the 22d February, and the latter in the
beginning of March. The Tweed sailed from Vera
Cruz on the sth of February, for Tampico. The Cal-
liope has brought 80,000 dollars for merchants' account.
Letters received this morning from Porto Cavallo of
the 16th of February, confirm Revlon' accounts, that
orders had been issued, directing that all Custom house
Jut e. throughout Colombia should be paid in cash,
and that Government 'mks should no longer be re-
ceived in payment. This order has caused great em•
harrassment to trade, and distress to the holders of
Government paper.
Pa irate letters from Port-au-Prince state .thst, since
the blowing op'of the arsenal, the town had been set
on fire in six different places, but that the fire was ex-
tinguished before it had made any considerable pro.
gess. A French fleet was daily expected there.

The Paris Papers, which arrived last night, contain
the Report, the Chamber of Peen had ordered to be
made to them by their Grand Referendary, the Marquis
de SEMONVILLE, touching the outrage committed at
the funeral of the Duke of RocneroucwuLo. This
adroit personage, who, in the course of his public life,
has been " all things to all men"—an Ambassador
under the Republic, a Prefect in the time of the Con.
sulsbip, and Senator during the Imperial regimen, has
succeeded in drawing up a Report, in which every one
is exculpated—police, military escort, and the young
men who carried the bier.

Count OrALIA, who is proceeding on an extraor-
dinal y misjon from Spaia to this country, arrived in
Paris on Tuesday last. He is accompanied by M. ZA•
MORAN°, as Secretary, and is to make a stay of about
a month in that capital, according to the Quotidiertme.
We learn from the same Journal that he is the bearer
of two autograph letters from his Sovereign, one to the
King of Faßuce, and the other to the King of EN°•
LAND, as we stated on Thursday last. The purport of
these letters is not mentioned, but we believe our own
version of their content 4 as it appeared in the STAR
two days since, is perfectly correct. In this case, we
venture to affirm, that the Ambassador Extraordinary
will return re iwjectd, whilst we suspect that his
mission is an intrigue to get the British army out
of Portugal, preparatory to another attempt to put
down the Constitution. Such is the dread which
King FERDINAND entertains of the Portuguese Consti-
tution, that he would gladly consent to the removal of
he French army from Spain, if he thought it would
assuage his chief cause of anxiety at the present moment•

These Papers contain advices from Constantinople
to the Bth March; according to which, the French A-
mbassador bad acceded to the proposals of England and
Russia for the pacification of Greece. However, as it
is further stated that the Turkish navy is to be wholly
placed at the discretion of 1311AHINI PACHA in the en-
suing campaign, this arrangement, indicative of a
determination on the part of the Porte to carry on the
war with increased energy, is a bad omen for the success
of the pending negotiations.

We received this morning the Nuremberg Corres-
pondent to the 29th ult. and the Algemeine Zeitseng to
the 31st. The former states that the Spring Fair at
Frankton on the Oda., which was just over, had, on,

the whole, turned out very sell, thou,:h the leers bad,

in many instances, complained that they had not made
a sufficient profit. The ankles chiefly in tilt:mand wetei
middling and ordinary woollen cloths ; the cotton ma-
nufactured goods of Saxony were also in great request.
There were likewise large quantities of raw materials
besides wool, which were bought up with much spirit.,
It will be seen from the following article, which we;
copy front the Algetweine Zeitung, that the Germino
begin already to entertain •ery sanguine speculations:
in favour of their own trade, in consequence of thei
commercial differences that have arisen between the
United States and this country :

MATENCE, Malmo 42.
A letter 'under this head, after some preliminary observation■ no
the change in the English commercial system, commenced when,
Brazil was separated from Portugal en the removal dr the Court
in 1809, and by the new relations arising from the independence of •
the Spanish Colonies, continues:
" In ISIS, England concluded also with the United States of
North America a Treaty, founded on the eqpallty of rights.—
Properly speaking, We may date from this time, the introduction of
England's new system., which is called the system of Reciprocity.
and the object of which is to unshackle commerce and industry,
because this proceeding is suitable to the interest of England. Rut
it is also highly advantageous to other States, if the conditions
offered and regarded by England are attended to by the Govern-

meats of the Continent, with judgment and prudence, and due regard
to the atate and progress of industry in their owe conntries.—
This has been done by Prussia in its late commercial treaty with
England, by which its navigation and foreign commerce will in all'
probability be greatly extended. The mow decisive step by which
the whole Colonial System, which has been entirely changed, ow
rather destroyed, has been then Ry England in the highly impor.
tant measure of giving to its West India Colonies freedom of trade
with foreign nations. This permission cannot fail to have a great
and beneficial influence on the maritime commerce of Germany.
Kngland, at variance with the North Americans on various point'
relative to navigation and commerce, has withdrawn from its
rivals the enjoyment of that permissioa, and closed against them the
ports of its West India Islands. Hitherto the Americans supplied
the West Indies with various articles, partly manufactured, e. g.
flour, brandy, tallow, salt, meat, soap, flax, several kinds of timber,.
&c. the value of which has amounted of late years to twelve milker
of dollars per annum. This lucrative branch of trade they willows
lose, as the:North American Tariff of Customs is continially be-
coming more rigorous, and English manufactures are almost wholly
excluded ; the English Government must be inclined equally to ex-
clude the Americans from its Colonies, and to give the advantages of
it to the Ethiopians, especially the States of Northern Germany,
whose markets are open to the English, or to which they have,
easy access by the lowness of the import duties. Germany,
too, produces all the articles that the West Indies cannot
equal in quality, and many of them superior to those of North
America. The prices, too, at least with respect to Corn, are not to
the disadvantage of Germany. A favourable opportunity seems
there to have arrived for us &Acquire a great portion of this West
India trade. May the German merchants not neglect this Impor-
tant conjunction in the commerce of the world. If the Rhine were
free, the west and south of Germany might participate In this com-
merce, but the monopoly of Holland is in the way. The loss which
,theEheniskProvinces suffer through this exclusions from trans-marine
commerce is proved by the great difference between the prices here
and in the Netherlands. Germany is under this most oppmsive,
may say disgraceful, dependence on the NetherLustis.

The mgeting of the printipal Members of the*Oppo...l
eldest at Lord Atirsoas'a yesterday morning, was to consider what '
was the fittest course to be adopted in the event of Sir THOMAS
LITHIUM:M.4 motion being discussed. After a good deal of debate,
it was determined, that individual :Nlembeta might, if they d-enied
lit proper, express their particular opinions on the subject; but that
as a body, the Opposition should not vote either fur or against the pro-
position of the Honourable Barone, Sir Famicts Hooper:, in a
very manly speech, recommended a direct negative to a motion
which, whatever its abstract character might ba, could have no
other. than an invidious and mischievous object, coming from such
a quarter as the Ultra Member for Sotnersetshire. While, how-
ever, the correctness of this view of the question was generally ad-
mitted, it was thought most expedient to treat the affair with indif.
ference. The withdrawal of the motion by Sir Lewnsainoe
rendered it unnecessary to act upon either ut these views of the
cue.-7144 _ _

Nothing has yet been resolved on respecting the ap-
pointment of a Governer-General for India. The impediments
arising from the state of the Ministry, combined with other causes,
have, in fact, rendered the period when the determination may take
place so extremely uncertain, that a request has, we understand;
been sent out to Lord Amnesic, to delay his relinquishment of
Aim beyond the time which his Lordship originally need (we
believe the end of the present year), in order chat the necessary
arrangements for the appointment of his succvasor may be com-
pleted without inconvenience. The coiucidence of the three Pre-
diesel's being vacant at the same time, and the pustible injury to the
public service from the appointment simultaneously of three indivi-
duals new to office, is supposed to have furnished another induce-
ment for postponing the appointment to the ChlefPresideney.-16.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL is gradually recovering the
