Note of Lord Castlereagh expressing the determi-
amtion of England never to consent to the dethrone-

strong language, and the answer is awaited with the
utmost impatience. The hussidn Minister has thought

they tir•-i iu good earnest at work to reconcile their

so they were obliged to concede a little to each

in a very open manner; he declared his sorrow to

We give, in another part of our Paper, an ample
account of the Speeches and proc( edings at the
Dinner of the Friends of Mr. JONES BURDETT, who
met yesterday at Cumberland Gardens, forthe pur-
pose of promo. ii;; the election of that Gen-
tleman for the Borough of Southwark, in the
room► of Mr. THORNTON, deceased.—Sir FRANCIS
and Mr. JONES BURDETT, together with Major
CARTWRIGHT, were present ; and the company,
which we need not say was altogether respectable,
amounted, we suppose, to about 150 persons.

The American Papers contain a report of Mr. DAL-
L.ts, the Secretary of the 'treasury, in answer to a
letter from a Committee of the House of Representa-
tives, requesting his opinion as to (lie effect which a
considerable issue of Treasury Notes, with the quality
of being receivable in subscriptions to a National Rank,
would have upon the credit of the Government; and
particularly upon the prospect of a Loan for 1815,
and as to the practici,iility of getting forty-four mil-
lions of Treasury 7.k:cies (forming, with six million
of specie, the for a National Batik), into
circulation %without depreciation. In reply, after
detailing the embarrassed state of the Treasury,
he states himself to be of opit:it.ii, that a consider-

able issue of Treasury notes, with the quality of
being receivable in subscriptions to a National
Bank, would have an injurious effect upon the
credit of the Government, and also upon the pros-
pects of a loan for IS 15. Because it would confer,
!gratuitously, an advantage upon a class of new cre-
ditors, over the present creditors 'of the Govern-
ment, standing on a footing of at least equal met it.
Because it would excite general dissatisfaction am rig
the present holders of the public debt, and general
distrust among the capitalists, who were accustomed
to advance the money to the Government. Because
a quality of subscribing to the National Bank at-
tached to Treasury notes exclusively, would tent to
depreciate the value of all public debt not possessing
that quality ; and whatever depreciates the value of
the public debt, in this way, must necessarily impair
the public credit. Ile then goes on to express his
opinion, that it would be extremely difficult, if not
impracticable, to get .11 millions of Treasury notes
into circulation, either with or without depreciation.
A numerous Meeting of the town and neighbour-
hood was held upon the Moot Hall, Ipswich, on
Tuesday se'nuight, to consider of the propriety of
petitioning Parliament against a renewal of the Pro-
perty Tax. S. TnouNDIKE, Esq. the senior Bailiff, I
being called to the Chair, briefly stated the object of I
the Meeting. Mr. BATLEY brought forward the draft
of a Petition, which he requested might be read.—
The same having been read accordingly, and no ob-
jection made thereto, Mr. BATLEY moved that the
Petition hr adopted ; Mr. BaAmu seconded the mo-
tion, which was agreed to without a dissenting voice.

All the Powers have agreed to give Prussia the
tame population shz, had in 1805, but she demands a

A French Paper, among the last arrivals, relates
the following occurrence:—" Amongst the skaiters
echo figued yesterday on the Grand &sin of the
'rhuilleries, there was one who surpassed the rest in
agility and ease. In placing himself with grace, like
a Zephyr-, he gently inclined towards the pockets of
the crowd, and with admirable dexterity drew forth
their watches as he fled along, but, being caught in
this act of sleight of hand, he was unkindly con-
• ducted to the corps de garde.".

All the Powers who are in favour of Saxony con.
tend, that she shall at least retain the countries be-
tween the Elbe, the Saal, Bohemia, and Franconia ;
it is added, that the Emperor Alexander is of of
uion that this is a fair offer, and is doing his utmost
to prevail on the King of Prussia to accept it.
