ffeedba, does Pat nothing at all for the Coontry Banks.
The law as it stood before authorizes them to make
• itnall notes and to issue them, until 1823. The new law
emends the period to 1833. It was intended to introduce
a clause to authorile Country Bankers, to refuse to pay
their notes in gold after the first, of nett May.
Bat this clause, which would have been, in part, arr
peil of Peas's Bill, was given np by the Ministers,
from the apprehension of actually seeing the Oriditon
hoisted in Fleet Street.—Tet, we are told that many of
the Country Bankers think that that deltic is in the
Dill. If this be theme, there will bee pretty ensasblk
take place soon after the first of May. However, it will
all be as it ought to be, ruin ought to be the effect of
inch an iniquitous iystemi and rain will be the effect
of it. -

Paris papers Lave arrived to the 20th instant front
which we have extracted. In another solemn,. two
articles of considerable interest. Front the ow", though
the style is obscure, it wiii be seen that the English
tiovernment has declared its determination to mist
Portugal, id case its independeoce Is attacked. From
the other we may learn the effect that has been pro-
doced upon the people since the independence of Spain
Las been menaced. AU party distinctions at Madrid
isms re here vanished at the same rate as the
Holy Allies threaten to withdraw their erouotenance.
:The- Awash Minister, It appliars, has claquatchtidi
courier, with iostructioas for the French Ambassador
to leave Madrid. The other Ambassadors had already
obtained their passports, and were expected to depart on
the 13th or 14th. A Spanish Journal remarks, that in
the seats appropriated to the Foreign Ambassadors in
the Hall of the Cones, the English Ambassador, his
suite, and some English travellers, were the only
f.)reign. re present during the memorable sit-
ting of the nioth. It is added that oar coun-
trymen manifusted the sympathy of freemen.
—The capital was perfectly tranquil, though the public
mind had received an extraordinary impulse. Prepare.
.tions for war are making in every quarter. Besides the
Bowies Aram mentioned in the above extract, as
assembled in Poland, we are informed that 50,000 Aus-
trian troops are eantoned on the frontiers of France to
aid the 1 Hires. Five millions of cartridges,it is said, are
ordered to be made at Bayonne. The Holy Allies have
cut out abundance of work for themselves, and will it is
said, soon have another meeting at Vienna.

STOLIC EXCHANGE, HALF PAST TWELVIC o'ctocc—The

It is stated, that the Gentlemen who framed an address.
scarcely escaped personal violence, and the High Sheriff
wee obliged to diuolve thq Meeting, without effecting
the object fur which it had been called together. The
concluding scene at Sheriff Cooper's dinner, in Dublin,
was another display of like principles and actions. At
this dinner were Mr Rice, the member
.for Limerick ;
Sir Robert Skate. the member fire Dublin; Mr.
Luke White, the member for Leltsim ; and about
250 Protestant and Catholic Gentlemen. Mr. Rice
and several other Gentlemen retired at about half
past twelve er one; when a Mr. Warren held between both
. his heads a small orange handkerchief or flag, inscribed
with " the Charter toast." " The Glorious, Pious. and
Immortal Memory of King William the 3d." This be.

cratioas of others of the company. Mr. Pim called on
the Chairman from the second table (at whirl) were
seated about forty Gentlemen) to give the toast from the
Chair. This Mr, Sheriff Cooper most firmly refused.
Mr. Pins then proposed it—all the Gentlemen who
eat at the same table with him, rose and drank it.
—The Chairman expressed great disapprobation, and .
.remonstrated most warmly on what bad just passed.
Mr. Pim sharply replied, and told the High Sheriff that
he was a disgrace to the city of Dublin. Great

and urged the Chairman, by asserting his right et h

this will probably be but the occasion of some fresh
disorder. The manner in white this spirit is kept up is
shown in the copy of a hand hill we have insetted in
another column. In the mean time, Government appear
determined to keep the spirit down. For many years,
it is said, the army has been more or less tampered with
by thettrangetnen of Ireland, and, in many of the regi.
meets there, of the line as well as of the militia, there
were Orange Lodges. Recently, it appears, a circular
Las issued from the Wm. Office, requiring information
en these heads ; and the-Conimandiog Officers who have
, been enabled to report their corps free from the contami•
nation have, it is stated, received letters of Giulio. while
answers of a different kind have been sent to the Officers
of the infected Regiments. •

Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Hunter, the King's mes
tenger. left town with despatches for Vienna.
On Monday, Mr. Kaye, the King's messeoger, arrived
is Dowoing, Street, with despatches from Sir IV.A'Court,
• air Minister at Madrid. Soon after the messenger left
Madrid he was sopped and robbed by a gang of
robbers.
