tt tsnur, wovpwit 16, 1913.

We have been in anxious and bendy oxpoetadon
of receiving intelligence from the late theatre of war
in. Germany. It will he highly important to the
British pobli,: to learn what our Allies art? doing
during the ce,ation of the clash of arms. The in-.
tilligence from France is not without its accustomed
interest. Paris Papers up to the 12th inst. reached
town last night, by which we learn that BONAPARTR
arrived at St. Cloud on the 9th. Ile lost not a day in
holding a Council of Finance ; hut what was done on
this extraordinary deliberation is yet to be learned.
He has not, as yet, been accustenred to throw himself
on the bounty or his people for money to carry on
the war : that one sinew of it he has long made his
public enemies and public friends supply. For men,
indeed, he has all along drawn pretty copiously on
his populous dominions. His visit to his capital may
be occasioned, in part, by an affection to his EMPRESS
(though we have no reason to ascribe the amorous
disposition of MARC ANTONY to this once triumvir);
but it is certain it is a journey of preparation towards
new military measures; sinceamong tlre ftrstof his Im-
perial acts pet formed has been the prolongation of the
Regency conferred on his Consort; and which was
announced through a meeting of the Senate on
the 9th. These Papers also contain two Bulletins
of the situation of the French Armies, on the 3d
and 7th of this month, for the particulars of which
e refer our Readers to the accounts themselves...-
I'lre chief information of consequence in these Re-
ports, is what is said with respect to the fortiaca-
ti us on the Lower Rhine, and the forte collecting
and stationing there. There is a hint thrown out of
imaginary weakness in the Upper Rhine, but the
chief concern seems for the Loner Rhine. AlAc-
trotsALD is at Cologne, organisim.: au army of de-
fence; and BERTRAND, with 40,000 men, is making
great exertions to form an intreuched camp before
Cassel. 'fhe fortresses all along this ostensible river
are said to be provisioning and preparing for defence.

NOW is the time for the Sir FRANCIS D'IVERNOISES
and the NEWEARS of the present hour, to figure
away in their financial calculations and speculations
with respect to the bankruptcy of the French Funds.
The Fibmcm EMPEROR, for Emperor we must be
forced to call him, till the French have deposed
him, the Chief of France, however, will do to
designate the man, that title being apparently more
agreeable to oar tRINCE REGENT, who is him.
self the acting Chief Magistrate of the Englisn people,
so that there is itiiiient honour attached to that rank.
The French Chief will indeed be put to his trump,
not to lose the game for want of tricks. But that
of seizing on the Banks of Paris for the necessary

supply on this urgent occasion, is the drat**
crack-brained polisielau. He knows betterlistiVio
commit such a violence.. We cannot say we aeteally
know what lie will do to obtain the needful, but we
hare really the knowledge of what has been proposed
to him for obtain:erg a prolligibus WA df motley hr a
way which would not have been contemplated a year
ago. It is to dispose. of .precious objects in the
National Museum to the amount of live hundred
millions of litres to individuals, to whom the lots
are to be assigned, hot not removed, fur a stipulated
time, and on condition that the capital and a fixed in-
terest be paid together at an assigned period, they are
, never to be taken from the place it, which they are now
deposited. The French people are. likely -to esteem
this species of pledge or power for their advances,
better than any other which can be given them.
French Exchequer Bills would not be found so nego-
ciable at the Bourse Imperial in Paris, as ours are
at the Royal Exchange
.in Cornhill. BONAPARTE
will flutter his subjects again as to what he will do
for them in the next effort or campaign, and they
will, in all probability, put themselves to shifts to
fall in with his desires and demands. No doubt our
observant Ministers are on thelook out, to dis-
cover how far the enemy can go in this main
work of preparation, .before they begin to act upon
the moderate principle they have thought•it politic to
set font h. Who but the most crednioos • end Wet,:
perienced, would risk much on,the ground of their
actions keeping pace with their professions ? If in-
deed any of their official agents were stationed at-
Covent-garden Theatre, last night, they may
think it proper (being, no doubt, sworn to
fidelity) to represeut to their employers what
a general plaudit followed the 'hare dramatic
rehearsal of the author's sentiment,—" a General
Peace is approaching ;" or words to that effect.—
But, without being prophets or oracles, neither
Vrrus's, nor a YATES'S, we may safely augur, that,
our great Ministers (great bodies ,always m.tve
slowly) will be too late on this grand crisis, as they
have heretofore
.been on many and repeated occa►
sions of similar urgency and magnitude. If offers of
Peace, in any manner quadrating with those moderate
sentiments lately pronounced from the British throne
and British Cabinet, were interposed between the!
dernands,great demands, uo doubt, of BONAPARTE Os
the whole French people, and the answer of those
hard pressed subjects thereon, the good effect would,
no doubt, be immediately discerned in the backward-
ness of every part of the contributions in money, rtual
lukewarmness in the general conscriptions for men!!!

In the House of Lords a very interesting cowman. I
sation took place last night, upon the subject of the:
Insolvent Debtors' Bill, in conseiluence of a Petition
being presented by Lord HOLLAND from the Debtors,
in the Fleet Prison, praying relief. The Loan
CHANCELLOR, Lord ELLIENDRHOUVII, and Lord
SIDHOUTH replied to Lord HOLLAND, and pointed
out the difficulty, if not impracticability, of carry.
ing the Bill into.effect in its present shape, and
another temporary Insolvent Act was mentioned as a
substitute, until the necessary alterations could be
made in the prior Act. Lord HOLLAND objected to
this proposal on the ground of its being likely to de-
lay the final arrangement of the new Bid; and no•
thing decisive took place. The Debtors confined in
the different prisons throughout England are now so I
numerous, and the situation of many of them so dis-
tressing, that it is highly expedient something should;
be done forthwith for their relief.

The unconstitutional and• foreboding transforma-
tions of the Militia force of the United Kingdom, i
goes on as Lord CASTLEREAGH would have it. If I
ghosts ever were to rise from the grave, the shade of
Ld. TowNsuEND, and especially of the much honoured :
in memory Sir GEORGE SAVII.LE would re-appear.--
The Militia is, indeed, new moulded into a mongrel
kind of force. It was ordained to be a check upon
standing armies, in other words upon the Caowx
itself. Now it is to be commanded by the Crown !!! i
Oh, Heavens ! whither is the spirit of the British pa•
triot fled ? Mr. WHITBREAD seems to stand almost I
alone in the pass. The bulwark is nearly down. He
means, however, to move his qualifying Amendment, i
a highly proper one it is, on the Motion for receiving
the Report on this Bill, which is, unquestionably,
as he designated• it, a -measure highly objectionable or
constitutional grounds.

The Cabinet Ministers met yesterday at the Fo-
reign Office.
Yesterday the SPANISH AMBASSADOR transacted
bu.iness at the Foreign Office.
The Prince of ORANGE has frequent interviews
with Lord CASTLEREAGH, and it is probable that the
Hereditary Prince will be spent for from Lord WEL-
LINGTON'S Army.
Lord LOWTHER is to be the new Lord of the Tree-
miry, in the room of Mr. ROBINSON. He is to stand
for Westmorland; and Mr. WALLACE, as the FAA
India Directors will not have him, is to be brought
in for Cockermouth.
Wednesday morning Mr. Avis, the King's Ms.
senger, was sent off with dispat"hes to the North.
Mr. AYE, the King's Messenger, was sent off to
the same part on Friday night.
We are happy to learn that the Marquis of TA-
visroca recovering from the effects of the accident
he met with, a short time ago while hooting.
A decree of 130 N. PA rives, dated Gotha, the 25th of
