Captain Hinckley, futtoued the Ontario soon after,
on board of which Mr. Prevost, Agent of the United
States, also went a passenger. It was understood
that the British Officer was authorized to formally
abandon all claims to territory or settlement in that
quarter, to which some settlers and adventurers there
had previously set up pretensions which threatened
unpleasant consequences, but which are thus likely
' to be terminated amicably."

LONDON:

TOICSDAY, APRIL 21, ISIS
Our statements yesterday regarding the course
which the CHANCELLOR of the Excneousa would
take in comnbanicating his Budget, were verified by
the Right Honourable Gentleman's proceeding, last
night. His speech, in submitting his Financial Plan
for the year, and the observations made upon it in
the House, are so copious and interesting, that,
much as we feel -Inclined to remark further upon
statements and circumstances so important, we most
wait until another day for opportunity. We shall
at present' merely observe, that the features of the
new project for supplying the deficiencies of the Ex-
chequer, as thus developed under all the flattering
colliers of the Financial Minister's representations,
sufficiently account for the hesitation with which the
proposed arrangements were received. Though the
CHANCELLOR of the EICHF.QUERI in as pompous
phrase es the acknowledged drawbacks at his heels
would permit, congratulated the country on the
wisdom and terms of his bargain for this disguised
Loan, upon the mere terms of the purchase of which

CARLISLE ASSIZES, AUG. 8.

Robert Martin, aged 51, was charged with having
assaulted, put in bodily fear, and robbed John
Mathews.
The robbery had taken place on the 18th of April,
1817. Four persons had been concerned in it. Dow-
ling, Strawney, and M•Greedey, had been taken up
soon afterwards. No bills were found against the
last two, as Mathews could not swear to their per.
sous. Dowling was convicted and transported. The
Prisoner Martin was apprehended in January last.
John Mathews gave evidence in a very clear, po.
sitive, and unembarrassed manner. lie was walking

The Paper System has been often canvassed in •
political paint of view, bet, as a question intimately
connected with morality and humanity, there Is
'much reason to fear it has not been sufficiently cen.
sidered. Sir JAMES MACINTOSH, apparently 110-
pressed with this important conviction, last night,
drew the attention of the House of Commons to the
increase of crime in forgeries on the Bank, and on the
metallic currency of the country. In moving for re-
turns of the prosecutions for forgery instituted by
the Bank for fourteen years previous to the passing
'of ttse Bank Restriction Act, in 1797, and for simi-
lar Returns up to the present time, he showed from
the account., tbit, in the fourteen years subse-
quent to the passing of that Act; the crime of for-
gery had increased one hundred fold from what it bad
been in the fourteen years which preceded it. In the
one period four prosetutions were instituted ; in the
other no fewer than four hundred and thirty-eight.
this speaks volumes uu the subject of the excessive
Paper System.

POLICE.

HATTON.GARDEN.—Yesterday, a young man, of
the name of Joseph Turner, was charged with passing
a forged one-pound Bank of England note in pray.
tient for a handkerchief, value 2s. ad. in the shop
of Mr. Isaac Fletcher, North-place, Gray's Inn-
lane. On the Prisoner tendering the note, he was
asked for his name and address, when he gave—
" Turner, 25, Titchfield-street, Soho ;" and said
that he took it from Mr. Johnson, or Thompson,
on Ilolborn•hill ; but suspecting the note to be a for-
gery, they sent for a constable, and took him into
custody. The note was signed "J. Clowes." The
Solicitor and one of the Inspectors of Notes to the
Bank of England attended; the former produced the
note, which both he and the Inspector pronounced to
be a forgery. Mr. LEACH, the sitting Magistrate,
here asked the Inspector if there was a clerk in the
Bank of the name of Clowes, as signed to that note?
He replied, there was. Mr. LEACII asked if he wag
in attendance to prove that that was not his signature ?
The Inspector said he was not; but that he could
prove it not to he Mr. Clowes' hand-writing, having
seen bias write above a thousand times. Mr. LEACIt
said that he did not think that sufficient, as Mr.
Clones himself ought to attend, and prove it was not ;
adding,' that the Public had expressed much dissatis-
faction at the many convictions at the suit of the Bank,
on slight proofs. There should likewise enquiry he
made,, whether there was a Mr. Johnson or Thomp.
son living on Holborn•hill, and if the Prisoner re.
ceived the note from him. A long argument took
place between Mr. Leach and the Solicitor, respect.
ing the evidence required in different cases of forgery ;
and Prisoner was remanded for.further esamination.

Yesterday morn* early, the house of Mr. Jones,
at Paddington, was broken into by means of a crow
bar, and robbed of five pounds in money, a silver

Some doubts having been repressed as to the truth
of the reports of the Discovery Ships not having
found a passage to the northward practicable, we
can now state, that this is place beyond a doubt, by
a letter from Capt. NAIRN, of the whale•fishing'ahip
Princess of Wales. Capt. NAIRN writes, of doe
the 7th ult. that on the 10th of June, in lat. 80. 2.
he spoke the Discovery Ships, and was informed,
that the hignest latitude they had reached was 80.22.;
that he then went on board with his log-book, and
learned, that they could find no passage farther to
the northward on 'the west bide of Spitsbergen. He
adds, that the Officers gratefully acknowledged his
attention., the Princess of Wales being the first ship
they had seen, and offered, in the most handsome
manner, to supply him with any thing he might want ;
and that when last seen, the ships were steering to
the S. W.

probation, and we have no doubt will cotia•e to
attract the public attention to this well regulated

A novel species of entertainment has come under
our observation, and it is one which demands our
particular notice, for the purpose of directing that
attention to it, on the part of the Public, to which
it is so eminently entitled.—lt appears the Lord
CHAMBERLAIN has granted to the ingenious inventors
of the Apollonicoo his licence to devote that instru-
ment to the variety of performances it is calculated
to exhibit. For some months past the fashionable
and musical world ibis's, daily assembled to hear its
surprising mechanical properties; and the Professor
PURL'S has, on certain days, attended to display his
own skill, and the powers of the instrument : we have
frequently seen from four to five hundred visitosi
listening to it with rapture. A new career has re-
cently commenced : Thursday last was the third of
a series of Eveping Concerts, which are intended to
4so continued during the season; the person selected
to superintend the •arrangement, and preside as the
chief Conductor and Performer, is Mr. Tues. A DAMS,
a -musical Professor of very superior abilities.—
He was assisted by Messrs. GUICHARD, LORD,
COOPER, and Moxr.Ev, Professors, and FLIGHT,
jun. Mr. ADAMS has generally commenced the Per-
formance by an extempore Introduction and Fugue,
in the execution of which he has evinced the greatest
facility and taste. We were much astonished at the
cue with which he appeared to execute passages the
most difficult and complicated. The applies@ he has
received is a proof of thejudgment of theauditors, and
the excellence of the performer. He usually plays.
airs from HAYDN'S beautiful Oratorio of the Crea-
tion, and MOZART'S Operas. The Selection has
hitherto consisted of Preludes and Fugues from
BACH, by three performers; HAYDN'S Kyrie
Rlcison, by two and three performers; and his
Gloria in Exec:sft, and Resurrerit, by five per-
formers. To these we may add many of the grand
Choruses and Overtures of our most celebrated mas-
ters. We bail this elegant and instructive Instru-
mental Concert with feelings of unmixed approval,
and are proud to hale rendered our tribute of ap-
plause to a description of Oratorio, which reflects so
much bonouton the talents of our native artists.

Notwithstanding the virulent and unjust aspeisiee
which the Ministerial writer has, injudiciously, cast
upon the gallant " Admiral," we are confidendf
assured that the political patrons and allies of thgl
writer were anxious to induce his Lordship to draw
his sword and exercise his talents in their catue ;
and that overtures were actually made for that puts
pose to that Noblemin's near relatives.
It is a most remarkable fact, theta the Spaniards of
Old Spain cannot gain a single British Officer loser?.
their cause, and actually have not one employed with
their armies in South America. Who, indeed, solid
trust himself among seem unsupported by a British
force ? The want of fries:cis in Ibis country to assist
Old Spain, drives them to the necessity of teasing
Government out of their liver, to exert the Soverigrei
authority to prevent our gallant couotrymen frost

Obliged to act contrary to their own, and the :fishes

—rte- .r bit.tr,
The hustle and intermit of the Election movemeall:
in the-City of London, and in Westminster yesterdajA
and to!day, have exceeded every thing, of the kisk,ll
witnessed for many years. At West Minster, from.
the eagerness to poll for Sir FRANCIS OURDETT, an
i
atone for the delay that has been occasioned, the
Election seemed only beginning ; aiM in the City the
close contest between Sir Wit.z.ass CURTIS and gr.
Alderman THORP, and the aleot;st desperate efforts of
the Court party, to prevent the total extinction of
their power in the City of London, by the return of
dependent Members alone, has giver* an actiilty S.d ,
importance to the contest which a period of 50 yeartre
has not exhibited. The Royal Exchange was lite.'
rally deserted, and a blank yesterday at the hour et
which it is usually most crowded. The number o(
coaches dispatched last night to a distance, and,
wherever a Liveryman was supposed to be foortt
to
bring voters for the Poll to.dsy, was, we understand,
very great, much to the satisfaction of the Jehus,
whose harvest is not often ripened by fine weather.
. The commotion and anxiety therefore to:day, the
" day big with the fete of Empires and of Rome,"
has passed all expulsion as well as precedent.— •
We yet write in ignorance of the resell of the struggte
in the City, though we shall have to announce it he
some pert of this day's Paper; but from what has
already transpired we can have no doubt ails proving
another triumph to the Cause of Independence, and
an adeitional evidence of the detestation with which
corruption and an unworthy Government are re•
gerded in the Independent City of London. At half._

(Times, Monday.)
We are authorised to state, In contradiction to the
above paragraph, in the Times of Monday last, that
Mr. BUTTERWORTH has no intention to decline the
Poll, but, on the contrary, means to keep it open to
the last moment. The means that are practised to
prevent the independent voters in the interest of
Mr. B. from coming to the Poll are disgraceful in the

of this worthy, honourable, and independent Gen-
tleman once more to represent the ancient City of

" Let thi.se smile now th*t Dever soiled before,
And those who dared to tassels, now laugh the more. 4

The dohates in Parliament last night, and their
result, will incite mock satisfaction throughout the
country ; and if there be any one who can peruse
the Ministerial speeches, and contemplate the situa-
tion to which they have voluntarily reduced them-
selves and other Illustrious Persons whom we need
not mention, without laughter and contempt, we
make an erroneous estimate of the flexibility of
site public muscles, for HERACf.ITVS himself would
smile at such a group of disappointed faces.
It will be observed, that the Royal Message was last
night pressed into consideration in both Houses of
Parliament ; and that whatever may have been the
extent of pressure upon the Ministers behind. it must
be allowed, as Lord CASTLEREAGH says, and loves
to say, they did their duty in the way of argument,
if pressing into the service of profligacy for praise-
worthy precedent all the follies of the country, ma-
nifested and lamentably perpetuated in its enormous
grants of money to royal spendthrifts, and if con-
tending for the justice and propriety of fresh and
unnecessary burdens of this kind upon the diminish-
ed and distressed finances of the British People, be
the duty of a Minister. This is the enviable praise
to which • they lay claim, and they will get no
other commendation from the country they sought
still further so scandalously to abuse. The approba.
riots of the modest and considerate Personnel who
were so desirous of petting their merits and claims for
additional remunerations to the test of public appro-
bation, or who so injudiciously allowed themselves
to be persuaded into these propositions, must con-
sole the defeated advocates of Royal extravagance
for all the disgrace of the defeat of last night. The
sums proposed were reduced from the gross absurdity
of the amounts mentioned at the private Parliament
(the statements respecting which by Mr. TIER NET
were admired to be correct), to mere exorbitance, and
in this modified shape submitted with all the sopi►i,try
of which Lord LIVERPOOL, Lord CASTLEREAGH, and
CANNING and his Company of Court flatterers, are
possessed. An Amendment was proposed in the
Purrs. of Lords, but no division ensued : the most
momentous events.took place in the Commons. In.
stead of the profligate and scandalous grants which in
the present state-of the country it was originally
tended to recommend, namely, about 20,0001. addl.

Another instance of the inconsistent, cruel, and
disgraceful conduct of the present Administration is
afforded in the affair of Widows' Pensions. lt is
known, that at the very time they were pressing for
enormous grants of money from the Public to in.
I crease the enormous incomes of the Royal Dukes,
caring little for any thing connected with economy,
and laying it down as a maxim that the !louse had
no right to enquire into the amount of the incomes
which the Royal Dukes derived from other sources,
though the nation has paid soundly for these too, the
Ministers were actually endeavouring to enforce a
regulation for diminishing the Pensions of Widows
of Officers in the Army, by enacting that the pension
should be withdrawn from the widow in case her
income from other sources exceeded its amount by
certain specifications, because economy required the
adoption of such a regulation. Economy is indeed
a most desirable thing in a State burdened with so
many pensions and paupers, great and smell, as
ours unfortunately happens to be ; but it is not this
cruel and inquisitorial economy in one Department,
usually considered with some delicacy and sympathy
of feeling, that we desire to see, whilst the most un- '
bounded extravagance reigns in -another, unaccom.
