Many of the merclants and members of Lloyd's appear to be highly amused by the Quixotic generosity of the French Government, in offering to make good the losses incurred by the capture of ships during the late war with Spain. There are various causes which tend to give a colburing of ridicule to the whole proceeding. First, as we hinted yesterday, because an indemnity of this nature was the last thing in the contemplation of the underwriters, who, so far from being sufferers by the war, reaped enor- mous profits by it, the inereased rate of insurance having been more than adequate to the increased risk, sinice every obstacle, as they well knew, was thrown in the way of Spanish privateering, even by the British Govern- ment. Of the rich East Indiamen then on the voyage homn, which were all insured at a premium of from 25 to 30 per cent., not one, we believe, fell into the power of the l:Spaniari's, atl some of the principal underwriters made, in consequet-e, the greatest profit known since the conclu- sion of the general war. Secondly, very few of them, we believe, have mueh confidence in the forthcoming bounty of the French Government, and would willingly sell their future prospects atone third of the amotmt, paid down im. mediately. But the, last point, and the most amusing of all, is the discovery that this act of liberality, should it hereafter take place, will be realized at no cost whatever, since the proceeds of the valuable cargo of the Veloz Ma- riana alone, captured by the Jean Bart, under circum- stances which must be fresh in the recollection of our mer- cantile readers,far exceed the amount (8,000,000 francs) of the destined indemnity. The Veloz Mlariana had on board 4,000,000 of dollars in specie, besides cochineal and other costly articles of productioni; and the results of this prize will, without doubt, become the property of the French Government. It is true that a separate ifide-nnity by Spain to her own subjects is talked of, bat what the fruits of that wvill be, a very slight knowledge of the state of SpA& nisll finances wvill be sufficient to answer.

A ('oroner's inquest was ield on Saturday last at the Jar and Castle Tavern, Oxford-street, before Thomas Stirling, Es?,Coro ner, on the body of Anthony Caldares, a waiter in the bouse. Sarah Cooper, a servant in the house. stated that the deceased d" lived some tiune ia the house, in the capacity before stated ; he had formerly been in a respectable line of busiiiess, but becoming much distressed, he had failed, when his wife and himself were obliged to go to service; he had, however, been in a pretty good state of health, e-xcenting thac at intervals he drank rather frielv, which was sup- posea to have been occasioned by his distressed situation, and his intellects were in some degree injured, occasioned, it was sup_ posed, by a wound he had received in his head. On Chri:tmas- day he drank a quantity of brandy, and nearly a simfilar quanttsw on the following day. On Saturday morning she was rather alarmed on hearing the deceased cry out from tle kitchen. and on hastening there she found the deceased apparently in a fit, and a cup standing near, containing some oxalic add. Medical as- bistance was imnmedately procured, but before ic arrnved he -was dead. Mim. Lamb, a waiter in the house, gave nearly a similar testi- masny; bnt stated that the deceased bad been latterly very different in his manner, frequently in an outrageous, and sometimes in a d- spondingf state. MIr. Dean, 2 su-geon, of Oxford-street, opened the body, and fromrtthe appearance of te stomeacl, be svas'oi opiron tce oxalic acid had accasianed his death, such a quazntit) had the unfortunate man taken, that it had mixed with his blood 7 the bottle also which had contained it was6 wholly emptied.

Private Correspondence.
The Times, 1824-01-20T00:00:00

Yesztedy the Duke of San Carlos, Spanibh Ambassador at this Court, notified to Dl. de Chateaubriand, a second time, the official deiriand of the Govenme-ntofSjin-,' 'forthdediato-uf-thae.of France, between her and her colonies. This renewed application, which was first iade in a less pre?s'rigmnnne?btou ttcn.daysago, and announced in T/U tirez of the Oth ijst., must,a .peat very, efi traordinary, coming so immediately after. the publication'of the famous'Te ODrun and mronk.restoringdecree, which has by this time been inserted in allthejournals of Europe. A better example pro. bably couMl rTot lseaflbrded of the vrisdom and consistencywhich pre. side at the councils of Ferdinand. On the first demand ofrnediation, Mr. Canning had Seen apptlied to for tile consent of England, and if We can place any reliance on the rnmoiufed answers of Prince Polignac from London, the Right ffonourable Secretary is not averse to some project of the kind. The French Ministriv there. fore persist in their desire to see a Congress assembled to decide on this important question; and viewing thi late decree as of no vali- dity, they are not disposed to allow its publication to stand in their way. In order that they may be enabled to advocate the cause of Spain with more effect, they intend to use their influence at Madrid to obtain fronm the mbther country an open avowal of a more liberal principle respecting America. Freedom of commerce with the colo- nies roust be granted as a preliminary. Guilleminot will.embark at the end of the month at Toulon for Constantinople. It appears that Belluno will not go to Vienna, and that the French Government wilt have' only a Charge d'Affaires at the Court of Vienna for somie time. This Charge d'Affaires (Al. de Mfarcellus) will accompany the Emperor on his Italian tour in the approaching spring. You already have heard that Aletternith is no favourite at present with eitberthe French or the Russian Cabinet. The nvidest Charge d'Affaires is therefore thought a fitter agent fcr receiving liis advances than the proud Ambassador. --- P-- rP4T CORRESPOXDBEAE. I '.- - R- T - I - PARIS. JAN. 14.

The Committee appointed by the Court of Common Council to consider the state of the Coal-trade, finished their sittings yesterday. WVe stated a few days back, that the determination had been almost unaniumously adopted by them to recommend an increase of twenty-five Meters, which vas, wje now understand, actually the case; but subsequent; representations having been made to the Committee, by persons ituerested in the trade, they were intlucesS to re-consider that determination. They have now come to the resolution to recommend an augmenta- tioti of the number of Aleters, from llS to 130 full and efective officers; but as in the former number are in- cluded eight supernumeraries, the total increase now sug- gested wiU bs about 20 Meters. The Committee also, in their report, recommend a repeal of that part of the duty on coals which is additional to the port of London, and that a memorial to Plarliament should be prepared for the pur- pose. The state of the coal-trade, howvever, is said to haye tiiiaergone a markeM improvemenlt since the commence- inent of the labours of the Committee. In December last, the average number of ships in want of meters was about 100, while on the day of their termination the number was only 13. It appears also, that coals have, in the inter-+ val, although the middle of winter, fallen about Ss. 6d. per chaldron. The report will be presented at the Court of Common Council held this day,
