revr, for a Return of all Prosecutions, &c. for
riaz Bank Notes, from 10th April, 1818, to .27th
FMK, 1819; which he prefaced by some remarks
ifa Report of the Commissioners. Mr. COURTE-
ti, one of the Commission, stated, that the Com-
ners expected that the termination of an expe-

also by the suggcstio. ns of some of the Com-

wOuld'bE the production of a Note

L'.; improve,: Note was in action last year, even be-
the Royal Commissitn w.as appointed. Of course

trial being in progress, it is natural that

wish should be entertained to see its result

VILLELE. CUAUVELIN, Duvr,n,

'F ILICRAtiv-: and CURVONIER, participated•
.DE flu:AA:mg remarkei, that it was very trite
the Decree of IMO was one of most odious spo-

; but that the treastn es of the whole of France

not suffice to repair all the injustice of BONA-.
MITE. The force of this argument appears to have

of the Committee of Petitions, passed to the

of the day. •
The Report of the Commission charged with the
ition of the Project of Law for granting a
recornpence to the Duke of RICHELIEU, WU
presented, by Baron DELUSERT, selected by his
as Reporter.
I' recommended the adoption of the first at of
Project in the terms presented by the KINu,

" That there shall be erected in favour of,
Duke of RICUELIEU, Peer of France, under the
of a National Recom pence, to be attached to
Peerage, and transmissible therewith, a Majorat
50,000 francs of revenue."

Rat In respect of the second article, which pro-
that the money should be taken out of the
of the Civil List, that is, out of the funds ap-
inated by the laws to the support of the dignity
the Crown, the Report submitted that such anal-
was alike unconstitutional and discreditable
1... he generosity of the nation ; and that the words
'D'Anains of the State," should be substituted for
Domains of the Civil List."

The Report was ordaed to be printed and dimi-
'•'=d; and the discussion was to take place upon it
!Ys:e,rd4y.

Chamber next proceeded to the discussion of
Proposition by M. Diluents, contenting the Right,
Petition. It is rot merely one of a regulatory na-
=, but proposes to establish a principle on this
6f very considerable importance—namely,
t 144 no Petition presented by a Deputy, and retort'.
Itesded by him, shall be reputed irrevevent or ridi-
"ll4l%. —The discussion continuing till the WWII hour
'isivg, was adjourned till Tuesday.

A Flanders Mail, and also a liamburgh Mail, ar-
"Nd at a late hour last night, bat their contents
of,little importance. Count Las Caws has pub-
"heti at Stutgard his Petition to the British Par-
Aoat, noticed in a former Mail.
Il• J• G. JAl:sou, Lieutenant-C*o4 Esifilt of

'the Legion of Hooch., incl A.Nasioner flow 14
of the NktlialtLANDS,' who was arrested dt

during the late visit of the Elliptic* A LIVIA Min, OR
a charge of certspiraey; has been acquitted. He at
tributes his arrest to his having Met with a perste,
whom he did not even knew, who *cad him, as a
piece of news, a story to which he gave no credit,
that the Emperor ALEXANDER was going to place
young NAPOLEON On the French Throne, and to have
AIARLA LOUISA proclaimed Regent. The King of
the NETHERLANDS has increased the salary of the
Catholic Clergy 12.5 florins, a measure which is
deemed very popular.
The Emperor ALEXANDER reached his-capital do
the .sth instant. On the 21. th ult. on passing by the
village of Dobrou, near Teschen, the Ettipdrtfr
alighted from his carriage near the Catholic Church,
situated near the high road, and ordered die parish
Priest to be sent for to attend him to the church.
The Emperor, on entering, fell on his knees before
the high altar, and ordered the Cure to pray for him,
and lay his hand upon him, in token of his blessing,
as that was the day for celebrating the anniversary
of his birth. The Cure having fulfilled the desire of
the Emperor, his MAJKSTI continued praying for
,some time, and then mounted his veilikrthivilittrst
placed a considerable sum of money at the disposal•
of the Cure.
