Tr has been very confidently reported during the put week, that it is the intention of government to continue the Rank Restriction Act for two years longer. The mere rumour of such a proceeding has produced cousi derable sensation, although the appearance of the gold c linage some time ago, was looked upon ~with no very lievolirable eye, and the expected abstraction of paper ciiishlsxed as an approaching inconvenience. The rea •son assigned for this prolonged restriction is, that the couraz of excl.aege is against us, and that in come -quenee, a profit of four per cent. is to be obtained by -the export of gold coin. Under such circumstances, it would certainly be highly imprudent to subject the country to a repetition of those losses, which it has lone indurcd by the exportation of the precious metals.— Until, therefinc, our armies arc withdrawn, until the 3 , :ccs-ities of our allies render foreign loans unnecessary, .:ceui it an act o:srue,ence, to 'cumin cash pay metns; Tnr NATTONAT, na•ritATEn. the cow:try generally, is too well satisfied as to the ability of the Bank, to believe that any other than prudential motives dictate this proceeding, though we doutt not the party who so confidently anticipates the ruin of the country, will hail it as a certain indication of the approaching fulfilment of their prophecies. American papers received since our la s t, contain ac counts of military movements, but little according with the pacific language, of the President's message. Large bodies of troops are passing to the southward. though for what purpose is not distinctly stated. Amelia Is land is too insignificant an object to engage the atten tion of such a force. In the House of Representatives on the 18th Dec. Mr. Harrison's motion for continuing the pensions to the widows and orphans of those who were killed or woundedin the late war, was carried with out a division- No French Papers arrived yesterday. Th9re are now three days' due. The boisterous weather which has prevailed during the greater part of this week, has prevented the usual arrivals from other parts of the Continent. The French papers present, at considerable length, the trial of M. Scheffer, before the tribunal of Correc tional Police, for a publication, entitled, " The State of Liberty in France." The Government, considering the temper of the work which it prosecutes, does not appear to be actuated on this occasion by a very vin dictive spirit. The counsel for the Crown was contented with playing, against the accused, three months im prisonment, and a fine of two guineas." The Gazette of i'laples, of the 16th of December, contains a decree of this king of the two Sicilies, crea ting Prince Talley ran d , Duke of Dino, with remainder to his brother's heirs. This dignity may, perhaps, be designed as a compensation for the Neapolitan princi pality of Benevento, conferred upon him by Buona pane, which M. de Talleyrund thought it right to re linquish soon after he became a servant of Louis XVIII. In another part of our paper, we have given, on the authorsty of the Mexican Gazette, the account of the capture of Mina, with 25 of his followers, and the dispersion of his party, above 200 strong. The fate of men taken with arms in their hands against the existing Government is not doubtful. But though we , do not positively hear of Mina's execution, information of an officialnature has been received, " that the foreign adventurers engaged in the insurrection in Mexico who had been taken with Mina, had all been shot as incen diaries, traitors, invaders of the public tranquillity of the province, and mercenary eiders and fomenters of rebellion against the Sovereign of Spain and the Au thorities of Mexico." This will surprise none : and it is from motives of humanity that we give the intelli- P•ence the readiest circulation. British adventurers cs must be aware that, when once embarked in an enter prise of this nature, their Government can lend them no aid. We may esteem their courage, and may pity the difficulties in which peace at home has involved them, but it is a desperate hazard, in a cause nut their own, to which they expose their lives. LORD SEFTON'S LeTTza.—The following letter from Lord 'Sefton to Mr. Waitliman, the chairman of Mr. Hone's Committee, was accompanied by 100 gui neas towards the, subscription now going on for that Fentleman. We have befbre stated our opinion of Mr. one's conduct in suppressing the parodies ; we think did wisely; but we cannot fall in with the opinion of a Morning Paper, that Mr. Hone had shewn his disapprobation of parodies. He did, indeed, express his determination, after the trial, not to write any more, and distinctly stated, that he would not again publish what he had written except as a part of his trial. Many have taken this as a good sign of Mr. Hone's returning sense of propriety ; for our parts we cannot help regarding it as a very skilful and effectual mode of advertising his trials, and we are rather disposed to believe, that that consideration, more than an abhor rence of parodies, dictated the proceeding. We would be sorry to impute any improper feeling on this sub jest to the noble Lord, whose letter we give below ; a bed of sickness is usually a bed of repentance, and probably his Lordship chose to adopt this mode of expi ating some trifling errors which the calm of his cham ber gave him time to recollect. In doing so he has served a distressed fellow -creature, but we think it would have been qnite as well, had he done it less os tentatiously, and without giving the world reason to suspect, that an oetrage upon religion, was agreeable to the feelings of a dying man.

Every man who has paid any attention to the career of William Cobbett, must have been struck by the practice which he has long indulged in, of pointing out certain persons in this country, as fit to be, what he " remembered" by the people. In the former numbers of his political pamphlet, we have had re peated lists of those ustfortunates who have incurred the displeasure of this doughty champion of Jacobin ism, and in the one published last week, we find one more added to the number. General Ackland, for the part which he took in suppressing the disturbances among the Luddites "ought to be remembered." Twice, in the same pamphlet, is this horrible incentive to as sassinatlon repeated, for what else is meant by it but assassination? In former numbers he has told us that the day will come, when the people may be benefitted by ". remembering" such and such a man. Thus mark ing them down in his black list—in his bloody book of proscription, as victims for :the knife, should the hour of tumult which he so eagerly anticipates, ever arrive. Well may the persons, however, whom he calls his enemies forgive him ; for his cuts and his stabs at those whom he ha% designated as his friends—at those uho have laboured in the same vocation, are not less malignantly given. He gets into debt, and then pays his creditors by abusing them : he runs away and the political friend who dares hint at his cowardice is doom ed to feel the scalping knife of this barbarian. Among those who hinted ut this cowardice was Mr. Wooler, (the Black Dwarf) who thought, with many others, that Mr. Cobbett, in his flight, had shown more regard to his personal safety than to the interests of the great cause in which he was engaged. This drew forth much abuse from the Sydney of Long Island, which appeared a few weeks ago in the political pamphlet. But the full measure of his wrath was reserved tbr his publication of yesterday week, in which we find it thus poured forth :—" Mr. Wooler's ground of action upon this occasion arose from personal revenge, and revenge, too, growing out of mercenary motives. To make good this charge, which is the heaviest that I ever preferred against man, I have only to state to you, that I have it in my power, completely to prove, from evidence recently re. ceived, that his unmannerly, his ferocious, his cowarnly attack upon me when he knew that there was nobody to face him but women and children, arose from his having been turned Or, as printer to the Register in London, on account of his dilatoriness, kis inacossracies, and his slovenliness, arising Jiom his drunkenness and dissolute life." On the publication of this at New York, (the pam phlet being always published there previous to its de• parture for England) a friend of Mr. Wooler stept forth with the following deposition, in the authenticity of whose statement, Mr. Wooler ' s friends here will no doubt implicitly believe. A New York paper thus in. trcduces it : " It may be remembered, that on the 19th of November we republished an article from Cobiett's Register, in which he chergesWooler with dilatoriness, inaccuracy and slovenli ness (in his business), arising from his drunkenness and disso lute life. In answer t• an attack so serious, a personal friend of Mr. Wooler has requested us to insert the following depo_ shim). Impartiality demands of us to give a fair hearing to both sides : " Dec. 1, 42 of Independence, or 1817. " Whereas I, William Clark, late of Loudon. having been ind snately acquainted with T. J. Wooler for between two and threw years, make oath that the charge Mr. Cobbett has made in his Regis ter of Oct. 30, 1817, is infamously false to wit—his dilatoriness, his inaccuracies, and his sloveliness, arising from his drunkenness and dissolute Itfe." The fact is, that Mr. Wooler is a remarkably sober man, and of an irreproachable character as to morals and virtue, Having known Mr. Wooler in different circumstances of life, I do positively swear that I never knew a falsity to escape his lips ; and further, that heholdsinabhorence any person that has been known to tell a lie. " WILLIAM CLARK. " Sworn before me this Ist day of December, 1817, " JAMES HOPSON, Special Justice." BRIGHTON, JAN. 14.—At two o'clock this afternoon, Prince Voroniesky and General Count D'Ojarowsky, the Russian noblemen who arrived here on Monday afternoon, with a letter from the Emperor Alexander to the Prince Regent, took their departure for Came, to deliver a letter of condclence from his Imperial Ma jesty, addressed to his Serene Highness Prince Leo pold, upon the death of the Princess.
