This being a holiday, the Bank, Stock Exchange, and• Foreign

on the Royal Exchange, and at present scarcely a bargain has beets
done. Consols have been done this morning at 861 for Account.

Consols have declined j per cent. as they were at 86j, and re-
ceded to 86 sellers for the Account; at present they are 86 to f
with scarcely any business doing. Report says that seven Regi"•"
ments are going to Ireland.

On the third teading of the National Debt Bill last
night, in the House of Lords, the Duke of Wes.unaron
made some observations well worthy attention on the
system of a Sinking Fund. The Report of the Com-
mittee of the House of Commons would, said
,;he
Noble Duke, satisfy Parliament and the country,
that: the salvation of the country depended upon the
establishment of an efficient Sinking Fund for payment
of the Debt." Of this generat principle there can be
no more doubt in the case of a nation than' in that
of an individual ; both of which, if burthaned with
incumbrances, must necaisarily set aside part
their income to extricate themselves by degrees,
if they sincerely intend to pay off their credit ors, and
clear themselves of their dead weight. But for an in-
dividual to barrow money annually, for the -purpose of
I • -
I laying it by, or paying off his debts, leaves him, is the
Finance Committees have remarked, not a farthing
richer than he was before. The pOlicy, therefore, adopted
by Government, to 'keep up the Sinking Fund at three
millions per annum, or iucb sum as the surplus revenue
may be calculated at, without the imposition of• flesh
taxes, seems to be the true medicine for the disease of
the country. The terms in which the Duke of WEL-
LINGTOiI states his intention of following the most rigid
measures of economy, are in accordance with the
?ractice of his Grace, since he has had any controul
over the public expenditure. The retrenchments made
.at the Ordnance, and the watchful supervision of the
Civil Departments, are ample proofs of the sincere de-
sire of the Premier to alleviate the public burthens, by
an unremitting care °Hite public money.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday bring us the result of
the Committee appointed to inquire into the charges
against the. late Ministry. The Committee have
reported that there was ground for impeaching the
Ministry of M. VILLELE of peculation and trea-
son. The Commissioners have had twenty-three
long sittings, in which considerable difference of.
opinion prevailed, and the decision was ultimately
adopted by a nujority of five over four. On the pre-
sentation of the Report to the Chamber, it was urged by
the friends ot M. Vtutts, that the charges involveden
accusation of the KING fur Vie dissolution of the Na-
tional Guard, and the creation of the batch of. Peers

and that therefore they could not be persisted in with.;
rust a violation of the Royal prerogative. The gnawer,
howeiw, that the Ministers were responsible fos any
acts of his MAJaaTY recommended by them, was a
sufficient reason for disregarding such pretences. The
maim of the responsibility of Ministers for the acts of
the Crown, is, we believe, as much tie law of Fiance
as of this, country—and long may it continue so in both.
utetion+! The question of impeachment is to be dis•
cussed in the Chambers after the Budget, and from the
blown opinions of the majority of the Deputies, it is
more than probable that M. Vict.zut and his Colleagues
will have to answer for the misgovernment of their
country. We subjoin a list of the Propositions agretd
to by vie Commission :
" I. That Members of Religious Societies rot authorised by the
Laws had been called into France by the last Ministry.
" 2. That the toleration and protection granted to them by the
last Ministry was contrary to law.
" 3. That the establishment of the Censorship in 1824 and 1827
had sot been warranted bygri.ve circumstances exacted by law.
" 4. That there was no disfavour on the part of the last Ministry
with regard to Protestants.
•' S. That there were arbitrary and blameable dismissals on the
part of the last Ministry.
" 6. That there was a dissipation of the public fonune, with re.
scard IA the war with Spain.

" 7. What this dissipation was foreign to th; Ministers; but that,
as to the question whether the political system followed with re-
gard to Spain was contrary to che interests of France, the Crags-
sitM were lii want of sufficient information,
.• it. That the advice given to create seventy-seven new Peers, in
1.27, was contrary to the interests of the Crown, and of the country.
" 9. That the conduct of the Administration relative to the dis-
turbances which took place in Paris on the 19th and nth of No-
vember, 1827, were blameable.
" 10. That inhabitants of Martinique bad been detained arbi-
trarily, and illegally transported to Senegal. •
" H. That the sending to the Records of the Court of Crandon
pieces concerning those individuals of Martinique found guilty, had
been illegally retarded dbring several mouths.
" 12. That the arrest of Colonel Caron bad been preceded,
accompanied, and followed by blameable acts.
" 13. That there was, on the part of the Administration, an
illegal concession of certain grants in favour of the Ciartreux of
Grenoble an the Trapistes of la Mdillerays ; but that other conces-
sions had been before Made in favour of the Cbartreux of Grenoble.
" 14. As to the question, wliether there were treason in con-
cussion in the terms of the Charter, in the act as well as in the
courted given to dissolve the National Guard of Paris, the majority
of your Commission has pronounced the negative.
.115. As to the electoral frauds of 11524, the arbitrary and blame-
able dismissals, and acts relative to the inhabitants of Martinique;
and as to the grants of lands to the Chartreuz, and as to all the
other facts, there was a majority on the question of Treason and
Concussion. The votes were divided between the negative, affil=
mative, and the demand for more ample information."

The remaining contents of the Paris Papers are un-
important. Lord HEYTKSBUEY, it seems, has been re-
ceived with every mark of distinction by the Emperor
NICHOLAS at his head-quarters.

It ha; been determined that Parliament shall be pro-
rogued on Monday next.

Private letters received from Berlin at Paris, state
that a battle has been fought in the neighbourhood of
Schumla, and the Russians have been victorious.

The Prussian State Gazette received this morning,
contains two bulletins from the Camp at Karassa, where
the head qua, ters of the Russian army had been re.
maining for some (1475. An immense supply of
provisions having arrived at Karassa from Podolia
and Odessa, it is stated that on the 6th inst. the main
army were to proced by forced marches to Bazawshik.
The 761 Division had already advanced a considerable
distance, and it would appear without any resistance, as
no mention is made in these Bulletins to the contrary.
The fallowing are ettracts:

DERLIN, .1111.1 r 18.
A Bulletin from 'the camp at Karassa; dated sth
July, giirei somefurtlier details of the siege of Brailow,
which began on the 25th Kay, and ended on the 18th
June, baring lasted 25 dayi in all. - Though the Rus-
sians were tmitteeessful in their attempt to carry the
place by storm; the foss the Turks had sustained
(amounting, according to their own accounts, to 1,000
men), and the covage w;lthrhicl4theitassians repulsed
all their sallies, induced the garrison to .capitulate
out waiting the result of another 'attack. The iota'.
loss of the Russians in killed and wounded, is stated at
3,000 men ; the. greater part of the latter had rejoined,
the array.
,Another Bulletin of the same date is as follows:

C•ME AT KARMA/4 JUL* 5.
The•7th corps of the *my, under General Woinoff,
has now advanced so far, that the head-quarters will be
removed to-morrow morning, and.proceed to Bazaw-
shik by forced marches, on account of the scarcity of
water in the country which it will have to traverse. The
.Russian main army that will advance to thit place (in-
cluding, the 7th corps) consists of 54 battalions, 443
squadrons, 6 regiments of Cossacks, and abovc 250
pieces of cannon. •

During the time that the head-quarters have been at
Karassa, the immense trains of provision Waggons,
drawn by oxen, which follow the army from Podolia,
have arrived, and considerable supplies have ,been
brought by sea horn Odessa to Kustendji. '

The soldiers, therefore, are in want of nothing: •The
weather has hitherto been on the whole favourable, and
in the last week several thunder storms have much
allayed the hear, which ihere, at Karassa, was at SO°
Reaumur (99i Fahrenheit), so that, fortunately, there
are very few sick in the army.

We have also received Dutch Papers to the I.th, and
the Nuremburg Correspondent to- the 19tH inst.. An
article in the latter, from the frontiers of Poland, says,
that the ktrssians had met with so little resistance in-their
invasion of Asiatic Turkey, that General PASKERITICH
had already reached within a Mort distance ofze-
rum, where he was waiting for the arrival of his heavy
artillery, to commence • the siege of that fortress. W 4
