toleid to a probably correct conclusion on the ques-
tion' whether Stocks would most likely to rise or to
fall? But our limits do not .allow 011 to discuss this
question at present. We shall, however, return to
it as soon as we can find room. ,

At a late hour last night the Paris Papers of Sun-
day arrived. • The Message 'from the Ktso, which
was promised last week to the Chamber of Peers, was
delivered on Saturday in secret Sitting. It consisted
of the Pioject of S Law for fixing the extent of the
responsibility of Ministers :, it was developed by M.
Di LALLY TOLLINDAL, a name ever to be venerated
far the bold and manly stand he made at the early
period"of the Revolutiou,•against the outrageous fac-
tions which subsequently devoured each other. There
is no report of M. De TOLLENDAL's speech in the
Papers received : it will in aU probability be. given
to the Public through the medium of a subsequent
Monlieur, if nut in a separate Pamphlet.
After the above was written, we received the Paris
Papers of Monday:
They add but little intelligence of interest to
the contents of those of Sunday. A letter appeem.
in one of the minor Journals from the brother of the
late General PICHEORUt in which he cautions the Bri-
tish Public from being imposed upon by a female
swindler, who calls herself a daughter of the late Ge-
neral. He says he investigated her claims to that
honour with great care and anxiety, and found them
totally unfounded.
The following is the only other article of interest
they contain :
COURIIIII UTRAORDINARY OF MONDAY MOAN•iNG.
Yesterday atter mass M. de la Fitte de Courteil,
who has been appointed Governor of the Isle of
Bourbon, took the oaths of office in presence of the
King.

in those departments, have been sold to English fa-
milies, who have formed the design of settling in
France. _ _

ment 42 families who have there bought properties.
We are assured that a Broker of Paris has been
entrusted by several English Houses to purchase
1500,000 francs in our Tiers ConsolidE 3 per Cents.

DUTCH MAIL.
It would appear by articles brought by the Dutch
Mail of this morning, that the most perfect cordiality
does not at this moment prevail between that and the
French Government : or, at any rate, that there has
been a want of that common degree of civility which
seems latterly to be expected in the relations of na
tional neighbourhood. For some time the War De-
partment of Holland and the Netherlands has been
scrupulously attentive to the arrest of French deser-
ters and the returning them to the frontier garrisons,
on an understanding that the French Authorities
were to do the same with deserters from the Nether.
lands. In this the French Authorities have entirely
bailed ; and in consequence orders issued on the 26t:t
of February last for the arrest of French deserters
found in the Netherlands, have been revoked by the
KING of the United Kingdom of Holland and the
Netherlands. The force of the reproof thus given to
Louts XVIII. or to his Government is manifest, and
it remains to be seen what effect it will produce.
The other articles brought by the Mail possess no
great political interest. but some of them may amuse
our Readers.
AMSTERDAM, DECEMBER 9.
A notice published respecting the. appearance of
the plague in the Lazaretto of Tripoli, states, that
up to the 31st of October the population of the city
had not been affected, but it was feared that there
might have been some contnipnication with the in-
fected goods, consisting of carpets,•dce. The polacre
was from Constantinople and Smyrna.

BRUSSELS, DECEMBER 6.

Mr. St. Martin, Counsellor in the High Court of
Justice of Liege. has given this city (Brussels) a
proof of his regard, by requesting the Governor of
the Province to accept a Certain numberof paintings,
to serve particularly for the instruction of young ar-
tists. These paintings are thirty in number; and'his
Excellency the Commissioner-General of Public In-
struction has authorised the Governor to accept this
patriotic offer, and to place the pictures in a conve-
nient situation till the apartment in the University,
which is preparing for them, can be got ready. Mr.
St. Martin has exerted himself to get them removed
hither.
Tigre has appeared in Germany an interesting ac-
count of the life of the famous Scbulmeister, who
has so often been mentioned, in the public papers as
the most active agent and spy of Napoleon. This
account throws a very different light upon his
ratter : the Author states that his account was
obtained from persons to whose custody Schulmeister
was confided, and from a subiequent personal ac-
, quaintance with Schulmeister bimsejf. So much had
been said of him, that on the entrance of the Allies
into Paris in 1815, it was thought proper to arrest
him, which was accordingly dose by the Prussians,
and he was conveyed to Wesel. whore he was at first
treated with much rigour ; but it appearing sites,-
wards that the:accusations against hip were ill-
founded, that his papers were of no importance, and
