THE STAMSMAN,

to make the same answer to the Patrice ReganT,
which they felt it their duty to talthCiiiseis they ad-
dressed his Royal Father—when they addressed hies in
answer to a similar proposition made throligh bikrtit-
CEIAL. They would not object to any arrangemen t
which could tend to the benefit of the country ; but
if ns OFFfEE ONLY TOR ONE MONTH, tliey assured his
Royal Rigliness they could not yefrain'from recom-
mqnding to the Passe,c Rzoksrr the great question
of Catholic Emancipation."

Ministers have appointed Mr. Moe, the fttrce,
:Viler, to iteituation in the Isle of France. We hope
*on to heat of Limn's, and Co. receiving Similiar
appeintsnents, from a Ministry whose ftireirat Mew,
tares they are an ably fitted to promote. •
The elimple of the Bank of England in issiling
Tokens, lies put the good people, in different parts of
the country, to some thousands of expence,. in cod-
"ening meetings, and crying and advertising down a
thoesaad bakers and hucksters, who have opened so
tinny oppoSition silver shops. Some of the shillings
issued were not worth a bad sixpence. The country
was fast degenerating into the Chinese system of soni-•
merce, where a tradesman carries hundreds of bits of
brass, perforated in the middle and slung on a string
—eight to a halfpenny !
The losses by shipwreck, in men and vessels,
within the last three months, exceeds the aggregate
loss sustained by our Navy, in alt the naval bat-
tles fought, and vis;tories won, within the last twenty
years.
The Committee appointed to investigate the affairs
of New South IVales, will probably discover in what
manner the Governors and Sitb.Goternors of the
Colony have recently possessed themselves of large
grants of land and cattle from the Government
herds. . •
A report is current this day through town, that
his Grace the iTuke of Rice:lose, has given direc-

With regard to the probable result of this negocia-
tion, we have nothing at present to oiler, because we
are equally ignorant of the intentions of his Royal
Righneis, as we are of the contents of his letter to
Lards IGRENvrz.t.E and Gam In another part of
our Paper will be found the remarks and conjectures
of some of the leading Morning Journals, upon this
highly interesting subject.

We have received Boston Papers to the 20th, and
Philadelphia to the 12th ult. The following are e=-
tracts :

rum tilt BOSTON CENTINZL, JAN. 18.
(EXTRACTS OF terrines.]
4' WASHINGTON.
" The neer of things here is still to keep up es wed a cia,„„„tr
of war as possible; and all the sticklers. olliemboblers, and ex-
poetess of the Admiaistration, far and •lotalii avw addend to
eau it. But those who are best acqueildidiAlds CAIN*, se.
trees, say we shall not have any other thati",*a. piper War-41411
diet-the How have set a time, which the Executive will tot' I
carry out. Mr. FOSTER 'S carriage having beeirseen at Mr. Mow-
noes doer, has occasioned many crude reports to he circulated
—it is however stated, that Mr. P. has required such an expla.
nation as is consistent with the laws of neutral States. I have
not heard what the answer, if any, has been. The principal
topics diseussld in our circles are, who shall be the next PRESI-
DENT. General ARMSTRONG, DR WITT, CLINTON, and other
arch intriguer., are here, and occasion touch uneasiness in the
Palace, notwithstanding outside appearances. The Report of
the Committee for allowing the importation of certain goods, I
am sorry to say, has not been taken up to-day."
" Dispatches we learn have bete received in Washington from
Pea ace and England, no particulars of which have transpired. It is
stated, however, that the Orders in Council would not be re-
moved, but their effect were lessened by the extensive issue of
licences which had been made and recognized on both side the
Chapati. With regard to Prance, the National I ntelligencle
says, ' although no change had taken place, yo the aspect of
our affairs was flattering."Tbelast word of the lateligeneer has
been criticised; but as to flatter' means' to wheedle,' as to raise
fobe hopes and to fawn' we think Mr. ti4t.s.s could not use
more appropriate one, although we doubt not his object was to
add an item to the scandalous deception now practising on the
American people."

We never had any doubt that BONAPARTE was en-
gaged in some vast project, the development of
which, like his former projects, has been preceded
by a deceptive calm. The following extract of a
letter, written by a Gentleman who left Paris on the
30th Jan. to his friend in Glasgow, contains more
interesting information, as to .the views of ?repo.
Leott, than we have been In use to receive of late upon
that subject. We do not, however, believe that any of
the Northern Powers will readily provoke hostilities
with France : _ . .

64 When I left Paris (says the Gentleman) it wet
expected that the EMPEROR would set off in 15 or
%0 days for the North. It is impossible to speak
with any kind of precision on such matters, I
but some grand stroke is in contemplation : troops
have been marching in large bodies, for montbi:
past, for the North. NAPOLEON'S favourite Ge-
nerals, BERTHIER, WDONALO, Nay, DAVOUIT,
and Otrourox,, it was said, had joined, or were about
to join the army. The Russian Ambassador, howJl
ever, still remained at Paris. I saw him at the Opertgl,
a few evenings before I left it. It is• said, there'
is to be a meeting of the 'three Emperors, NAPOLEON,
ALEXANDER, and Faascis ; and that, if Russia does
not effectually and strictly adhere to the Continental
I System, then war takes place, and Austria supplies
160,000 men to his son..in-law. Possibly a branch
" of the BONAPARTE family' may mount the throne
of the FREDERICKS:p.-11 suppose BONAPARTE has not
less than 5 to 600,000 troops in the North : in short,
the North is to be the theatre ; and Spain may evep,
for a time, be abandoned in some parts."

Mr.. SHERIDAN had an early and very long audi-
ence
of the PRINCE REGENT, at Carlton-house on
Saturday morning. His Royal Highness afterwards
gave audiences to the Duke of Youx, Mr. ADAM,
Mr. PERCEVAL, and Lord ELLEssonducu, which'
lasted tea late hour. The Learned Lord was sent
for to the Court of King's Bench, immediately after
the receipt of the answers from Earl GREY and Lord
Gar.svii.Lc ; and the Cmiis,Fese that he might attend
the Prince. „ 4 ,
Yesterday a message wu Sint trom the PRINCE
REGENT to the Duke of NDRYOLL, who was at his
beautiful villa near Dorking, to . attend his Royal
Highness at Carlton-house, and his Grace was ex-
pected in town last night.
Lord ERSKINE was also sent for to Carlton-house
yesterday, and had an audience of the Prince.
Saturday the Duke of BaunswicK visited. Lord

It is reported the Marquis Wera.r.sLts is going to
Spain, and that he will sail in the vessel which has
been so long waiting at•Portsnionth to convey Mr.

There will be a paragraph In some of the papers of
'this day, stating that Lord WELLESLEY is going to
Spain. We cannot conceive that there is any truth
in this rumour. He is to all intents out of office.--
