sates Consults, which will be carried to
tomorrow.
PAnts, JAN. 6.—The Senate has this
extraoninary Session, under the Presidency
Serene Highness the Prince Arch-Chanosllor.
Government Orators repaired thither, and
ideated to the Senate_ projects of Senatus
decreed is Privy Council held yesterday by ,
jesty. These projects are, it 1$ laid, relative
prolongation of the rotation of the Legislative
during the actual Session, and of the contested
trines.

At half-past eight o'clock this, morning,
testy held a Council of Commerce, which la
ly eleven tours. At one o'clock his Mak
Council of the Ministers.
The Amateur, of the Gth, contains t.
from the Duke of Albufera to the Minister .
They are both dated St. Felipe, December 7. The
first gives an account of au attempt made by Villamil
to surprise the forts of St. Felipe, near Balaguer,
by a ruse de verse. It wears, that on the 11th
of November, Villamil, with 1000 men, dressed in
the uniform of the sth regiment of Italian infantry,
taken at Figueras, presented themselves before the
fort, and answered in French to the cry of qui vere,
but being soon discovered, they were received with
a discharge of grape shot, which obliged them to re.
tire. On the 15th and 16th, Villamil, assisted by
3 or 400 men from an English SO gun ship, which
was at anchor in front, made another attack upon
the fort, but with no better success. The loss on
both sides was inconsiderable.—The second Report
details some unimportant skirmishes near Aleklys
Zecla, Segorbe, and Bexis.
The 31oniteur, of the 7th, contains the following
notes upon observations made-in an English News.

paper :
ENGLISH PAPIER.—" The Antelope, of 50 gons,
sailed from Portsmouth, on Saturday morning, with
100,0001. iu gold bars on board, to pay the troops
in the Peninsula."

NOTE 1.-" For seven months your Army of Por-
tugal was not paid—this 100,0001. will not be suffi-
cient to liquidate the armies."

ENGLISH NEWSPAPER..--" They write from Co-
penhagen, that the Danish Government has it in
contemplation to make peace with England, &c. &c."
NOTE 2, ix THE MONITEUH.-44 DellMalli will
not make peace with you ; the outrages you com-
mitted upon her by burning her capital in full peace,
and taking her fleet, is not one of those outrages
which can be effaced by money."
ENGLISH PArmt.--" If Soult makes a retrograde
movement, the Marquis of Wellington will certainly
embark for England, &c. &c."
NOTE 3, IN THE MONITEUR.—" Not only will
not the Duke of Dalmatia's army make a retrograde
nsovement towards France, but fresh troops are on
their march to reinforce it; the effective force of the
French armies in Spain amounted to 300,000 men,
of whom 20,000 were cavalry, and 300 pieces of
horse artillery. Those at present under arms, being ,
reduced to 270,000, thirty thousand have, or will
in this month and that of February, march to com-
plete it up to 300,000 more. Andalusia will be re-
occupied, and if the English army is in the least
weakened, Portugal will be attacked."

ENGLISH PAPEZ—" We are infinitely pleased at
learning that the Board of Trade has determined to
put an end to the communication with France by
licences, &c."
NOTE 4, IN THE MONITEUR.-44 No licence has
been delivered since the arrival of the Emperor. It
is very doubtful whether any will be issued. More
than 500 English licences being in the possession of
commercial men ; it is a vain bravado you make, as
you have already delivered a sufficient quantity to
nourish commerce for two years. It would be more
advantageous to France and the Continent, that
thereahould be no communication with you. Every
licence which the French Government grants is a
favour done you ; it is a drop of oil that it pours
into your lamp, which has groat Deed of it. Not.
withstanding your cruizers the Americans arrive in
crowd, in our ports; in the mon* of December
alone we can reckon more than fifty rich* laden."

PARIS, JAN. 7.—The custom of calling the actors
and obliging them to appear on the stage, after the
pieces in which they have performed, having become
an opportunity for forming very secret cabals and;
cause of disorder, very contrary to the tranquillity
which ought to reign at the play-houses, they have
lately been prohibited yielding to such instances in
future. -

JAN. B.—The Prince of Neufchatel writes from
Konigsberg, under date of December 29, that Count
Lariboisaiere, First Inspector. General, and Com..
maisdant of Artillery, is dead, and that the General
of Division F.blet has taken the command.
irszeNA, Dec. 26.—M. de Broglio, Auditor to
the Council of State of his Nlajesty the Emperor of
the French, lately arrived here as a courier with
dispatches for our Government, sod for Count
Otto.

i• The sums received or to be received as loan during

The payments on account of the priatipal of the

It appears, according to the preceding estimate,
that the whole sum tohe borrowed during the year
1813, will amount to about twenty millions of dol.
lars • and that the payments on account of the prin.
cipat of the public debt will exceed jive millions ;
making the actual increase of debt during this year
D. 15,000,000.
Of the revenue which will accrue. during the year
1813, and on which the receipts of the year 1814
will principally depend, it is not practipable at this
moment to form a correct estimate. So far at may
be Wined from the experience Of the short.pecied
which has elapsed since the declaration of war, it is
not probable that the revenue derived -from customs
will exceed the amount of I). 3,500,000, at which it
bad been estimated in a former communioativin. The
duties accrued, or which will accrue, during the last
six months of this year, after deducting drawback,
and expences of collection, are estimated at less than
D. 9,000,000, which deducting about D. 5,500,000
on account of duties on the late importations from
Great Britain, and one million for the duties on im-
portations from Calcutta and Chins, would not leave
more than D. 2,500,000 for the ordinary revenue en
those branches which are permitted by law, and from
which the United States will not be pearly excluded
by the law.
All which is respectfully submitted.
