The tardy manner in which the frontier of the
Meows was evacuated by the Prussian contingent
seems to have given great offence to the French Royal
' Family. The private letters from Paris assert, that
the Deka n'Arsootmeste was to make a repreaenta.
tion to the King of PRUSSIA on the 'abject. The;
declaration that France is henceforth to form part of
the Grand (no longer Quedruple)Alliance,was brought
lao Paris by M. de CARANAN, about the 9th inst.—
, Afthongis the public funds were better on the 12th,
"numerous bankruptcies were considered likely to
take place on the settling day at the end of this
month. The speedy retirement of Count CorrYETTO
.is talked of, and M. ROY bits been mentioped as his
most probable seccessor.
The accounts from Aix-la-Chapelle prepare us to
look for the results of the whole of the diplomatic
deliberations within a few days, and state, that of
the assembled Ministers, the greater portion would
leave the seat of Congress by the end of the present
week. We are also given to understand, that Messrs.
BAntnn and Co., in paying up the outstanding French
contributions, will not contiue their draughts to
houses in Amsterdam and Ilambargh only ; bet will,
according to arrangements with the respective Powers,
and with a view to the accommodation of each, give
bills on London, Vienna, Frankfort, Augsburgh, and
one or two other cities. Mr. BARING was to set off
for Paris on Saturday last, Baron ROTHSCHILD on
Tends'', and the whole banking corps was to be dis-
persed soon after.

presenting the Sovereign, that the funeral of the
Qum; should be similar to that of Queen CAROLINE,
and whether the ceremony should be directed by an
Order in Council, or left entirely to the superin.

" Immediately on the decease of her Majesty, the
Royal Standard, which, since her residence at Kee,
had been constantly flying on the tower of the chapel,
was lowered half down the staff; and, in the course
of the evening, a detachment of 60 men from the lit

Ai Might be expected, Lord Sidmouth's late awful
warning to our worthy Mayor, of the 'arias! of

city, is fully explained. A few days since a person
came hither to accomplish this work of treason, ac-
lustily deputed fermis the Turit.outs.— Bet the princi-
pal maoufacturera were already prudently apprised
by Lord S's eftmmunication; consequently they
Wen enabled to ascertain that the sufferers by the late
elatbiaation (nf weavers or their masters) at Man-
ousters have determined to bring the subject of their

It shows that even the point of the bayonet could not
provoke such violence as might have led to a repe-
tition of the Derby Tragedy of last November.—

the defenceless mechanics were attacked in civil war,

forget the slander which I:as been, within a short

far to stigmatise Norwich es the hot bed of sedition,
made at the time of the late over tiraw a our Con.

basis is opposition to the Societies which were then
branded with all the characters of treason ; and how
clear those may stand from the imputation of espion-

Tut Fumns.—Consols began yesterday morning at
774 went to 78, and the market looked very stiff;
but a most sudden and unexpected c•tange took place
just before the Commissioners appeared. One or two
brokers sold very large sums, and in a row minutes it
was announced that an eminent Spanish houte had
failed for an immense sum, having been deeply in-
volved in the French Fonds. The Commissioners
gave 74 for Reduced, and were served eagerly by
two or three jobbers,. •
O'n Sunday last, Alderman WOOD conducted Sir
WILLIAM PoLE, Ba►t., High Sheriff of the County of
Devon, over the ptismis of Newgate, Gilts/par-street

pressed himself highly pleased with the arrangements
adopted by Mrs. FRY, in Newgate, and the manage-
ment of the other prisons. It► the IVhite-Cross-
street prison there ere nearly 400 debtors, all of
whom here bedding, fire, and bread allowed to them,
and the pdorer prisoners two pounds of beef weekly,

don, although three-fourths of the prisoners confined
there are 'Middlesex debtors. In the Giltspur-street
Compter the City Magistrates have adopted Mr. SA.

gas, end have put op looms for weaving. There are
three Reports of a Committee of the House of Com-

teresting, as affording an unprejudiced and complete
information of the arrangement under which the
