are not revoked hcfort the 2d February neat.

Last night, Dutch Papers were received to the 2d
instant; from which, in a subsequent column, we
have given considerable extracts, and to which we
must refer. They also contain a lung Decree, is.
sued by the Emperor ALEXANDER, settling the
value of the different sorts of money in circulation.
It consists of '2O articles, the 18th of which is most
interesting; it states, that from the Ist of January,
1811, all contracts, agreements, bills of exehaAge, '
atc..:itc. shall be stipulated for in Russian money,
L
turoughout all the governments without exception.
The first of these articles also deserves notice : for
in it the Autocrat lays down the principle=that
he is not to do his subjects any prejudice in their
individttal inter,sts, however great moy appear
tile advantage to his Treasury. If ALExasnca
will act uniformly upon that principle, and se..k
the a:ts -and advantages of PEACE, he still may
bid defiance to the Tyrant of the Continent, when.
ever he may develope his plans against Itussi.t.

It is now perfectly understood, that some firm
attempt was resolved upon, by Ministers to Pao-
StOGUE Parliament, as it is called. The two Estates
of the Realm, however, will meet most probably on
Thursday. The nerve of the Marquis WELLESLEY,
could have held stout, but the pallid PERCEVAL
shrank behind, his pulse failing, and his nerves
undone. Some surprize, notwithstanding, is in.
tended on Thursday. What it precisely is, we
hare not positivity learned. We might hazard
a conjecture without much fear of error. But it is
not worth while; whatever it he, it behoves the two
Estates forthwith to take one step— namely, to
ascertain, by their own respective examination of
the Physicians, the actual state of the Executive
Power to ascertain, whether it has or has not,
any b•gal operation and if it have not, then ' ( and
from that moment) to restore it to its functions by
the appointment-of a REGENT. For want of room,
we defer to enter into the question of what shall
be the fees and powers of the Regency.? It k
important ono ; for upon it depends the very exist.
vice of this country ! and we shall not long post-
pone its consideration.—But the firts object is, to'
ascertain the true state of the ROYAL FUNCTIONS.
That inquiry can no longer be set aside. Every
act of the persons exercising the ROYAL FUNCTIONS
is illegal, as long as the Rozat. PRESENCE is re-
moved by the visitation of Providence. No•autho-
rity is in existence, during that Unfortunate interval,
for any one thing that is done. lie who suffers
under any sentence, of any kind, or from any quar-
ter, is WRONGED. And he who enjoys emolument
front the PUBLIC PURSE, or advantage of any kind
from the STATE, is placed in the state of one deria•
ing public benefits without authority! This is a
serious condition, of things—some -suffer what
no one has a right to inflict ; and others, live on
SPOILS and ettiNneas, as really such as any Piet has
entered the coffers of the GREAT SPOILS* of Eu-
rope, of the VILECST rr.nraleazit it confainsl—
Will the two ESTATES of the KINGDOM permit
things to remain in this condition of dissolution and

On Friday last, Mt. PEncefrAr,, the Chancellor
pf the Exchequer, went to Windsor, and found the
KING had hadja relapse. On his return a Cabinet
Council was held, when it was determined to issue a
circular totter to the friends of Administration, of
which the following is the substamcc, if not the ac.
tual words t

Themerchants of Ilatuburgh are sail to have
satiblieil tile demands of the Fretieb Government,
for the present at least, by the payment of the 43
per cent. upon the colonial produce in their lands;
hut they are still not pertnitted to trausmit tic
other parts of the Continent.

A Gentleman reached London yesterday, Who
had found means to escape fioin tire Dutch coast.
The invasion of England and a war with Ressia are
the chief topics of conversatiou on the other side :of
the Channel. The greatest, we caunut say the
most unusual, activity (for our enemy is always
active enough)
.prevails in the ports of Holland ;
and gnu-boats, particularly, were constructing
the Scheidt, the Texel,. Goree, and the Mule.--
Heligoland was talked of as the place of destination
fur this latter species of craft: A .great number of
Danish seamen was said to have been procured fur
the manning of them. Of commercial activity there
is not the sfighteet appearance in the Dutch ports ;
all idea of trading with England, either directly or
indirectly, having been reiniquishel A

day, after having been detained at Monte Video, as
a prisoner, under suspicion of being employed by
the Junta of the former to procure arms fromn this
country. Ile tells us that Buenos Ayres had raised
a force of 4,000 men, who hind lately beet' fitted
for actual service; and this ittitnber was considered
sufficient for all the purposes of external defence
and interior tranquillity. Trade was continued,
and every one was enabled to follow his occupation
ender the new Government without impediment
from disorganization or other sources of disquietude.
The Junta was composed of wise anti temperate
men, who had acquired the confidence of the people.
At Monte Video there had been an attempt to throw
off the Sapreinacy of the Regency and the Spa-
nish A4ents. The °military. force, consisting of
1000 men, had raised the standard of insurrection,
and were proceeding to depose the public authori-
ties, when the navy interfered and suppressed the
commotion, although not half so numerous as their
opponents. Soma, the Governor, is a man of
feeble talent, and is wholly controeled by three or
four others, who preserve obedience to Old Spain ;
but, excepting in the lower orders, there appears
to be no ready disposition to obey the mandates of
the new Junta of the capital, Buenos Ayres.
A Gentleman who quitted Bourdeaux as late as
the Ist of the present month, brings intelligence of
a much later date than any prior, from the same si-
tuation. He states, that the French force which
within the month of November passed through
Bourdeaux and Bayonne for Spain, amounted to
not less than '25,000, not including a long train
of artillery. They passed the Pyrennees in three
divisions, one of which arrived in the beginning,
the other in the middle of November, and the
last had not quitted Bourdeaux at the time he sailed.
—On the 19th of November, a. [age transpoft of
Spanish and Port ugnek prisoners, consisting of
between 8 and 10,000 entered Bayonne on their
way to the interior of France. He represents them
to have been in a most deplorable condition, being
most of them wounded and having scarcely any
clothes •t 9 cover them. Among them was a more
than usual proportion of Otticcrs, who were treated
in no respect better than the private soldiers. All
who were able to drag one kg after another, were
compelled to march on foot, and the rest, eon cred
with wounds and exhausted by disease, were
crowded into open waggons. On the last day
of November, a Messenger had guile threugh
Bourdeaux to Spain with dispatches, end a
few days prior, dispatches had been scot to Paris.
Two reports were in.eirculation, one of which was,
that JoSEPH was to quit Spain and return •to
France, while IioNAPARTR in person conducted tire
war ; and the other that, proeitled MASSENA gained
a victory over the English, he was to be made King
of the Peninsula. Additional and considerable
reinforcements had received orders to march into
Spain in the beginning of December. Provisions
were plentiful in France, but in Spain they were
scarce. The military road between Bourdeaux and
the Pyrennees was a scene of unceasing activity.
Respecting the conveyance of troops by the road of
Perpignan, this Gentleman could give us no pteative
idorniation. It was mentioned that about 40,000
men of the new recruits were to take that road, but
no satisfactory autaurity had been stated fur this
opinion.
