The Mlinister of Finance addressed the Chamber on the project of law fbr the conversion of the renttei. In the course of his speech he read the following letter from the bankers whose names are under- signred: "PARIS, MVAY 24. " Mv Lord,-We have read with great surrise in the report made by the Duke de Levis to the Chamber of Peers, that a pro- pcsition had been made to the commission, of which he was the organ, on the part of the united bankers, announcing, that modify- ing their contract Witil the minister, they consented to give durin five years to the small holders of stock (to the amount of 40 millions) the one per cent. reduction, which will be caused by the change of their 5 per cents. ints 3 per cents. " There would be an impropriety, my Lord, of which we are in- capable, in addressing any proposal whatever to any one but your Excellency, and this impropriety we have not committed. " We have the honour to send you a copy of the letter which we thought it our duty to forward immediately to the reporter. You will ihere see, my Lord, that we have neither written nor sent any note to the commission, that no proposal has been made by us, and that no one has been authorized to act for us. "The public harappeared astonished that we couldgive up40mil- lions in a transaction which fixes the maximum of profit at 35. That would indeed be incomprchensible, butifthe conditions talk;edofare those which have really been proposed, the pretended sacrifice would be in fact only a considerable increase of profit for the company. W *e have the honour to be, &c. "J. LAFITTE. 'ALEX. BARING. "Baron J. de ROTHSCHILD." The ill inister then communicated the following four artic.les ofthe contract with the bankers:_ " Article 1. As soon as the Chamber of Deputies shall have met, the Mlinister ef Finance shaU present a project of law to. authorize the conversion of one hundred and forty millions of five per cent. consolidated stock into three per cents. at the rate of 75 francs. " ATt. 2. On the other nart the above-named bankers undertake to furnish to the Treasury the sums necessary to pay off thosepf the holders of five per cent. stock who may not consent to the conver- sion, and to take themselves, at the fixed rate of 75f., the three per cents. intended for the aforesaid dissentient holders. " Art. 8. In etutrn for the service rendered to the Government by thc contracting bankers, they shall enjoy the profit which may arse to the Treasury from the conversion, from the day of its com- mencement to the 31st of December, 1825. " Art. 9. All the clauses and conditions not provided for by the present contract shaU be agreed upon hereafter bona ftde; the con- tracting bankers will consult with the Alinister of Finance upon al the measures which it may be advisable to adopt for the interest of tbe State and for the conversion to which the present agreement has reterence."

The Court was afraid that even this in. dulgence would prove of little benefit to this unfortunate party; but after the period in question, it would be its duty to proceed to s,ch a sentence as might satisfy the exigencies of the law in the matter.

A large portion of this day's paper is given to details of the unfortunate war into which the Indzia Company have been forced, or induced, with the Burinese. These people are not a contemptible eoaemv; they are brave, and not unskilled, apparentlv, in somne of the practices of war. A detachment of Company's troops at Ramnoo receivedl a rude lesson from them, being comnpletely beaten> and put to flight, after several days of partial movemenit and( desultory action. But what war would not be perilous to suchI an empire as that of India ? Anid whlat is the war (in a country held by suchl a tenure) of which the dangers could be pre- viously an(d accurately measured? All India is under the feet of its masters one great shaking bog: the agitation of any given spot upon the surface is felt to its remotest ex- trenity. Are we sure that the Burmese will have no native allies ?-that they have at this moment no foreign instiga- tors? How eame they by muskets made in Europe? The sxubject is a serious one for the Honourable Company; whose military establishment is said to have been cut down by Lord HASTINGS below the prudent level, that his Lordship's administration of the finances might appear with suitable eelat.

The Cabinet Ministers again assembled at two o'clock ves- terdlay afternoon,at the Secretary of &taWs office for Foreign Affairs all the Cabinet Ministers in town were present. The Cabinet broke up shortly before five o'clock. THE LATE HeNraY FAUNTLEaOY.-The assigniees of Alarsh, Stracey, and Co., having had information given them that a policy of insurance upon the life of Fauntleroy for the sum of 5,000]., made at the Amicable, (the only office that makes no eXception in its policies a"ainst the death of the insured by the arm of the law,) had beeN as;yined by Fauntleroy without a legalconsideration, they very properly set about inveetigating the matte- before the Commi8- sioners, when the following facts were elicited ;-That from the years 1815 to 1821, Nk. Fauntleroy was in lhabits of particular intimacy with Alirs. C. D., a inarried woman, living with her husband, at whose house AIr. Fauntleroy was a conita-nt (aily and nightly visi- ter. [n return for this accommodation, llMr. Faunderoy allowed the ladv o001. a year for pocket.money, besides presenting her anntally an )last India Company's bond for 1,0001., to form a deposit or re- tiring fund for AIrs. D., whenever. their intimacy might cease. A town and country-house were likewise Itept, the latter at'one tine at Richmond, and at another at Crawley, at a charge to MIr. Faunt- leroy of 5001. per anuini, which houses, to prevent disclosure, were taken in the name of the lady's husbsnd. It further came out at thbt investigation, that another most expensive establishment was kqi up.pat Mr. F?auntleroy's cost, including among othier itenis two carriagesa, two boxes at thc Opera-aotise, and that Mr. Fauntleroy was in the habit of paying. the lady's Christmas bills for millinery, jewellerg,&c. beside5 the presents mamde her.- The result of these mnvesturatboes ilar becn the recovery of several thousands (we hear 10,tJtljof' the creditois' rnoney.; 3nd if the assignee persevere in the same train of inguiries in other quanters, there is little daubt of Ensimila issue in fiavour of the esiate.

Letters have beeni received from Constantinople, dated the 20th ult., wh ich state that a vessel h:,d been taken by the 'I'Turks, having on board a large sum of money, and a quantity of baggage, &c., belonging to Lord BYRoN, but that on an application from Lord STRANGFORD, claiming it as English property, the wvhole was given up. Another fact is mentioned, which, if true, would be a proof either of the extraordinary influence of Lord STRAN GFORD, or ofunusual lenity in the Turkish Government. Twelve Greeks were apprehended at Constantinople,on suspicion of lhaving acted, either by themselves or by their correspondents, as the agents of the English Committee in raising recruits and supplies for the Greek army, and the proof of their guilt was deemed Eo far conclusive, thatthey were condemned to death ; but this sentence, on the representation of his Lordship, was, it is said, commuted for banishment. A letter from Odessa, of the 12th of March, so far from con- firming the suppose(d renewval of differences between the Tulrks and the Russians, states that the Russian troops in that quaTter were breaking up from their cantoriments.
