The Gazette of last night contains a Notice from
the Bank, chat to-morrow they will be ready w issue
to each of the London Bankers, current Silver Coin
to the amount of 20,0001. if applied for before the
sth day of July next.—(See Advertisement in our
front page.) Some of our contemporaries express a
hope that the Notes, thus called in, will not be re-
issued. The Bank have no way of issuing their paper
but in exchange for that of other people—Ariz.' by
discounting bills : the demand for discount from the
Bank depends in part on the quantity of discounts
that may be obtained from the country Bankers
this again depends, in some measure, on the
utantity of specie circulating out of the Metropolis.
silver coin gets to a distance from London,
finds its way back very slowly, owing to the in-
►venience and expense of carriage ; and the in-
creased quantity of silver so circulating in the country,
up to the same extent the place that was before
occupied by small notes.

Last night Lord CASTLEREAGH gave notice of his
intention to move, either this day or to-morrow, for
-.ljournment of the House of Commons to the 2d
,pril.
Lord FOLKESTONE'S Bill to remove doubts respect-
the Act of 31 Geo.III. and to establish the right
Tagistrates to visit Country Jails, was, after some
discussion, withdrawn.
Some conversation occurred on the Grant of a
ilhon for building Churches. Mr. CHARLES GRANT
empretsed a hope that part of the benefit would be
txtended to Scotland, where the extent of some of the
arishes rendered it almost impossible for the people
receive any kind of religious instruction. The
sicet.t.on ct the EXCHEQUER stated, in answer,
there was every disposition on the part of the
,ernment to extend the benefit to the Northern
of the Island.

Letters received from Port-au-Prince, dated the
of January, announce the protracted indisposi-
, of the President PETION, whose fever continued
unabated up to that date. The death of this Chief,
is much beloved by the inhabitanti of the Presi-
icy, could not fail to produce important changes
the Government of the Island. Among other cu-
rious. reports which had reached Port-au-Prince, a
vague rumour prevailed, that CHRISTOPHE had pur-
chased that part of the island for four millions of the
French Government ; and that, at the suggestion of
WiLBERIORCE, 30.000 Africans were to be trans-
ported from Sierra Leone to Cape Henry, as an in-
crease of free population to. the Essexaton, to assist
the cultivation of the Island.
The New Rhenish Mercury contains, under the
Wurtemberg, among other news, the following:
For some time past differences have existed be-
tween our King and his brother Prince PAUL, re-
specting the property left by the late King. As an
arrangement of them by compromise could not be
'fleeted, our King requires that they shall be decided
the Supreme Tribunal, the highest Court of Jus-
in the Kingdom. Prince PAUL, on the other
hand, who in this affair wishes them to be decided in
different manner, appeals to ancient family conven-
ions. Unhappily, the different views of the parties
respecting the tribunal that shall decide is said to
we increased the misunderstanding. It would be
sitely to be lamented if the report he true that the
ippanage of the Prince shall be withheld from him
ull he shall acknowledge the tribunal specified above."
The accounts received from all parts of Sweden,
agree in the enthusiasm with which the oath of alle-
taller has been taken to the new KING. At Upsal,
Governor counted from SO to 10() Land-owners
he province who came to take the oath. Above
Nobles and other landed proprietors, all out of
rice, came on their own accord to Upsal to fulfil
duty. At Carlscrona. the chief station of the
:et, the shipwrights, and workmen of every desrrip-
\, did not wait till they were summoned to take
oath ; they left their work and urgently demand-
that they might be allowed to take it. In most'
the provinces the women, with their children, ac-
enpanied their husbands to the Assemblies. When
Magistrates observed that only their husbands
mid be admitted to take the oath, they answered,
We and our children can at least raise our hands to
,:AVEN to implore its blessing on our beloved King:.
" Such are the pure sufferings," says a Swedish
iournal, " which are presented to a Sovereign in
thorn the people honour the virtues of the Prince, ,
id of the Burgher, and the kindest benefactor, and
/fully repeat no oath but what has been long since
onounced by their heart and gratitude."
As a testimony of esteem and gratitude to the im-'
tonal HOWARD, so celebrated for his philanthropy,
rho visited so many prisons in Europe to make him-
zif acquainted with their situation, and to amelio-
rate the fate of the prisoners, and who, in the year
1790, terminated his humane career at Cherson, a
monument is now erecting at Odessa to his memory.
Accounts from Naples say, that among the Mann-
Iripts discovered in Herculaneum, is one of Jusrui
and another of Auutts Gataaus, in such good pre-
servation that those who have the care of deciphering
item may do it without difficulty. This discovery is
the more precious, as they are able to see how the
text of these two authors has been altered, and be-
7ause they have found the Eighth Book of the Nights
Aulus Gellius, which was lost.
