In the design and proportions cf this edifice, we recognize the leading fea-ures of that celebrated work of antiquity, the Parthenon at Athens.

In sell cting this example as a model for a building such as a Bank, requiring a peculiar internal ar range ment and distribution of space and light, it becomes a difficult tusk for an architect to preserve alt the churacteristics of a Grecian temple, whose original design and appropriation was solely for the worship of the gods, and for the depositories of public treasure. The peripteros or flanking columns of a Grecian building, produce a decidedly beau iful feature in architecture. But they cannot be applied with ihpir nrnner effect to places of busi circular pannels in the tympanum of the shortest diameter.

The Banking room is amply warmed by two cast iron furnaces, lined with fie brick, being simply erected within an air chamber, through which the external atmosphere passes, and becomes heated by the furnace; it then rises through the arch into a circular cast iron pedestal, perforated on the sides, out of which it is suffered to escape into the room.

The last witness brought forward on the part of the Queen, was a lady named Franchetti Martini, who keeps a milliner's shop at Mauge. She was called to invalidate the testimony of Louisa De Mont, who it appears in a conversation bad told witness, in answer to an observation she (witness) made, that the Princess was spoken of as a libertine, as a gallante, said, it is nothing but calumny all. calumny, invented by her enemies to ruin her; that ever since the Princess left England she was surrounded by spies; that her best ac lions were misinterpreted, but she did nothing that all the world might not see and know it was impossible for any body to be more virtuous." This conversation took place in 1818.

In her cross examina lion by the king's solicitor general, the witness said she had been examined on the subject of this conversation about a fort' night before by two Enitlish gentlemen who told her and her husband they should be indemnified in all just and fair expenses She said, No sum was mentioned to me for coming, and as I did not know these gentlemen, I would not trust them, be cause two years ago, an Englishman of the name of Addison occasioned me a loss of 50 louis. After this, they deposited one hundred pounds at Meurat Bank as a se curity for the performance of their pro mise, this 100 pounds is not to be paid to me; it was only placed in the bank as a security lor their promise. They did not promise me 100 pounds, but only what is just and lair. 1 will swear nobody made me any promise of money never. I swear the exact truth.

I received 70 pounds on account, for which I gave a receipt, as 1 have a suit depending at home, which may be decided against me if I am not re turned on the 24th of next month; and not knowing how long I should have to re main here, I would not leave my affairs without something to depend on. Th gentlemen paid my expenses. I travelled post, because it is only this day week I left Geneva, four in the afternoon. I do not expect any fixed sum besides the 70 pounds. To a question, where do you live now? she answered, My God, we arrived here last midnight; last night I was placed somewhere) and here I am to-day." (Laughter.) A chair was offered to the witness, who observed, on seating herself, "Ah, mon Dieu, que je suis bien iatigue: The Discovery ships Hecla and Griper had been spoken in lat.

His Majesty of Austria has at length remitted to the sovereigns of the Holy Alliance, a long note, in which he laments the rapid progress of the innovating spirit of the times, which his Majesty attributes to the banctul influence of secret societies, and the pernicious works of a few scepti cal writers of the age, whose aim i the entire subversion of all constitu'ed autho rities, as well as all moral and social order The Emperor theu proceeds to recomw mend to his august allies, ihe immediate extirpation in their several states, of all secret societies, especially Freimaurerv," Iluminati," Fregeistery," and Mis-ticismus." ilis Majesty then states to lh nent tonics to be the stagnation of trade and business of every description, the al most total annihilation of confidence, between man and man, and the distress of many individuals of the community If any thing could be done to encourage and revive the activity ot our citizens; any means could be devised to restore conh dence and to prevent the sacrifice of pro perty, with due attention to the rights of all parties, I should most heartily concur in any measures calculated to attain these desirable ends. Permit me to suggest to you whether it would not be possible to devise some method of reducing the enormous power and patronage of the governor, without impairing the other general features of our present excellent constitution; whether the annual sessions of our Legislatures might not be shortened without detriment to the public good; whether a reduction of salaries, of fees of office, and compensation for public services, oua-ht not. at this time, to take place, to correspond in some degree with the re duced prices of agricultural produce. It also deserves serious consideration whether public improvements might not at this time, be advantageouly made, and do mestic manufactures encouraged wjth success. Above all, it appears an impera tive duty, to introduce and support a line ral system of education, connected with some general religious instruction.

These are matters which will certainly engage your attention, and will probably be objects of your deliberations, and if any adequate measures shall be proposed, it would give me great pleasure to be instrumental in their promotion. Let us, fellow citizens, every one in his station, for we are all members of one family, by whatever name we may be designated, unite in earnestly labouring to promote the common good; and that Providence, which has heretofore granted us abundant blessings, will, I humbly trust, continue them; and so crown our labours, that our posterity, in the enjoyment of every desirable, civil and religious privilege, may bless our memory, when we are mouldering in the dust with those whose toil and blood achieved our liberties. JOSEPH HIESTER. Harrisburg, Dec. 19, 1820..

SELECTIONS From late British Papers received at JVew York. Paris, October 28. 1 820. PROCLAMATION OF THE KING. Louis, by the Grace of God, King of France and Navarre To all to whom these presents may come greeting: Frenchmen At the moment when the law which guarantees to your suffrages an entire independance, and which secures to your interest a juster representation, is about to be carried into effect for the first time I am desirous that you should hear my voice.

"The circumstances are serious. Look at home, look around you, every thing speaks to you of your dangers, your wants, and your duties. You have acquired a firm and ligiti-mate liberty it is founded upon laws emanating from my love for my people, and from my experience of the times in which we live. With these laws it depends upon yourselves to ensure the tran quillity, the glory, and the happiness of our common country: you have the will, know how to manifest it by your choice. Liberty is only preserved by wisdom and fidelity.

Exclude from the noble functions of Deputies the authors of disturbances, the artizens of discord, the propagators of unjust distrust against my Government, my family, and myself; and if they ask you why you repulse them, shew them France, so overwhelmed five years ago, so miraculously restored since, approaching at length the moment of receiving the price of so many sacrifices, of seeing her imposts diminished, and all the public charges alleviated. Tell them that it is not wncn every ming nourishes, when every thing prospers, when every thing in creases in your country, that you will put to the hazard ot their ridiculous reveries, or deliver up to their perverse designs, your arts, your industry, the harvest of your fields, the lives of your children, the peace of your families, that felicity, in fine, which is envied by all the people of the earth. From all quarters a crowd of citizens offer themselves to your suffrages, sincere and zealous friends of the Charter, equally devoted to the throne and the conntry ty enemies ot despotism and of anarchy. Choose from amongst them your deputies, to consolidate with me that order without which no country can exist, and I will consolidate with them those liberties which have always had for their asylum the throne of my ancestors, and which I have twice restored to you. The world expects from you superior lessons, and you owe them to it so much the more, as you have rendered them necessary.

In offering to nations the. spectacle of that liberty in which they take so high an interest, you have given to them the right of demanding from you an account of those snares into which they may be drawn; teach them therefore, to avoid the thorns with which your path has been strewed, and shew them that it is not upon rums and wrecks, but upon justice and respect for the laws, that free institutions are founded and consolidated. "It is thus, that marchinc at the head of civilization, France, in the midst of the agitations which surround her, may remain calm and confident; united with her! King, her prosperity in beyond attack; the heaa ot the Christian Church against the macninauons oi revolutionary demagogues that surround him. The Austrian troops continue to pour into Italy from every quarter; several parks of heavy artillery nave quweci me arsenal ot Vienna for that country. 1 he Landwehr is ordered to be immediately called out; it is supposed by the middle of this month, that the imperial forces in Italy will amount to upwards of 200,000 strong.

One army is formed on the frontiers of Piedmont, the others on the-borders of the states of the Church. fhe interview of the sovereigns at TroD- pau will take place on the 29th of October; no Ambassadors were to be admitted to it except those of G. Britain and France. Temple of Vienna The Emperor of Austria has given orders for the building of a temple at Vienna, which is to be in every respect a copy of the celebrated temple of Theseus, at Athens. Ihe famous group of Theseus, by Canova, is to be placed in this temple.

A vessel of 90 tons, was lately fitted out in Liverpool by some patriotic gentlemen connected with the Portugal trade, for the purpose of plying on the Tagus. She left Liverpool on the 5th instant, on the 9th was seen going into the river by the last vessel that arrived from Lisbon, having thus performed her voyage in less than four days. Jattonal HILd DELI' 11 THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1820. We are indebted to the distinguished architect of the New United States' Bank for the description of its interior, which we publish in this day's Gazette. We have prefixed a sketch of its exterior, taken from the Analectic Magazine for the month of March 1819, so that the whole may be understood.

This noble edifice does infinite credit to Mr. Strickland both in the des'gn and execution. His skill, learning and taste in his important profession, exemplified not only in this public structure, but in various private ones, entitle him to be considered as among the most valuable members of our community. An architect of higher promise has not appeared in the country. From the Daily Advertiser, appointment by Governor Findlay.

William Wilkins, Esq. of the House of Representatives, President Judge of the 5th Judicial District, in the place of tbe Hon. Samuel Roberts, deceased. FROM HARRISBURG. Extract of letter from a Gentleman at dated December, 18, 1820.

This day the two Houses assembled in the Chamber of the House of Representatives for the purpose of ascertaining the number of votes given at the late election for Governor. Messrs. Condy Raguet and Samuel J. Bobbins having previously been appointed Tellers. After the returns from thirty-five counties had been read (which gave General Hiester a majority of 2800 votes) it appeared that the returns from the remainder of the counties were without seals Rees Hill was for rejecting them some debate took place, principally between Messrs.

Wilkins and Hill the former opposing the rejection, and the latter advocating it. The whole of the returns were, however, agreed to be received by a great majority, and the final result was: For Joseph Hiester, 67,905 For William Findlay, 66,300. Majority for Joseph Hiester, 1,605 Scattering votes, 21 Whereupon, the Speaker of the Senate declared Joseph Hiester duly elected Go vernor of Pennsylvania, for three years from the third Tuesday of the present month. Governor Findlay has approved of the bill reducing the Salary of his Successor! Mr. ilkins has resigned the seat which but a few minutes before he had occupied having been appointed a Judee in the place of udge Roberts, deceased.

Tuesday, December 19, 10 A. M. The inauguration is over Joseph Hies ter is now our Governor. The House is literally crammed." We have also been favoured with an. other letter, containing a copy of the Official Statement of the number of votes given for each Candidate, which will be published our next.

The same letter also slates, that Andrew Gregg, Esquire, has been appointed Secretary of the Com monwealth, and is now at Harrisburg. A motion was made in the Senate of North Carolina, on the 1st inst. by Mr. Adams, that the seat of Thomas Person, a Senator, from Granville, be vacated in consequence of his being an Atheist! -resolution referred- ness, without a consequent sacrifice of those principles which hjve a constant application to internal uses and economy. The design before us is of the Grecian Doric characterised as Ilypaethros, hav- ing eight fluted columns, 4 feet 6 inches indiameter.

embracing the whole front. taken from the Parthenon, or temple of Miner 'a, hecatompedon at Athens, being divested of the columns of the peripteros and pronaus, of the sculptured metopes, of the freize, and Hie basso-relievo ngures in the tympanum of the pediment. The columns rise from a basement 6 feet in elevation, supposing a plain entablature, extending along the- sides of a parallelogram 86 by 160 feet, including the body of the building and porticos that project 10 feet 6 inches from each of the fronts The vertical angle of the i ediment is 1,52, forming an uninterrupted line from end to end of the ridge or apex of the roof. The ascent to the porticos from the street, is by a flight of six steps, to a terrace or platform, extending 16 feet on each flank, and in front of the edifice. It is on this terrace that the building is reared, and from which it derives a great portion of its effect.

The gateways on the right and left, optn into paved avenues, winch extend from Chcsnut to Library streets, along each of the flanks, serving to insulate thebuildin from surrounding objects, it being inclosed along these avenues by a return the iron railing exhibited in tbe front elevation. DESCRIPTION OF TIIR INTERIOR. CFurnishtd for the National Gazette.) This ediice is situate in a north and south direction fronting on Chesnut and Library streets Its length, including the porticos is 161 feet, and breadth in front 87 feet. The floor of the principal or ground story is elevated 9 feet, surrounded on" all sides by a terrace 14 feet wde, rising three feet wide', and paved with large flag stones join ed together. The main entrance is from Chesnut street, by a flight of marble steps extending along the whole front of the portico.

The door in the centre opens into a large vestibule, with circular ends, embracing the Transfer and Loan offices on the right and left, together with a commodious lobby leading to the Banking room. The vestibule ceiling is a prolonged pannelled dome, divided into three compartment, by bands enriched with the Guillochis springing from a projecting Impost, containing a sunken frette. The pavement is tesselated with American and Italian marble throughout. The Banking room occupies the centre of the building, being 48 feet wide, having its length 81 feet, in an east and we.t direction, and lighted exclusively from these aspects. Its leading features present a double range of six fluted marble columns, 22 inches diameter, at a distance of 10 feet each from the side walls, forming a screen or gallery for the clerk" desks, which ere placed within the intercolumni-ations.

These columns.are of the Greek Ionic order, with a full entablature, and blocking course, on which the great and lateral arches are supported; the central arch being semi-cylindrical, is 28 feet in diameter, by 81 feet in length, and subdivided into seven compartments, with pio-jet ting concentric platbands over and of eqial diameter with each column, the intervals being enriched with square sunken n.nldcd pannels; this cieling is 35 feet from the floor to the crown of the arch, executed with great precision and effect. An Isthmian wreath, carved in one entire block of Pennsylvania white marble, surrounds the clock face, which occupies the space of the first pannel over the entablature in the centre, the design of which is copied from the reverse of an antique gem found at Corinth, and described by Stuart in his valuable work on the Antiquities of Athens. The Tellers counters are composed of Marble, forming pannelled pedestals across -each end of the Bunking room, commencing at the first column from each of the end walls. President and Cashier's rooms, to gether with the special deposit vault, and a flight of private marble stairs, open from the Banking room on the north; the south side embraces the Assistant Cashier's room, chief cleik's desk, vaults, and vestibule leading to the Stockholders room. The Stockholders room is a parallelogram of 28 feet by 50 feet, being lighted from the south front, having a groin-arched ceiling, with projecting platbands, enriched with the Guillochis springing near thej base of the groin angle, across the semicircular intrados of the arch.

Each end of the room is ornamented with niches feet wide, the heads of which form an architrave concentric with the semi per. All the groin arches are girdled at the springing line with iron straps, passing round within the body of the division walls. It may be here practically useful to observe, that all buildings of a public nature should be thus the only safe guard against the ravages of the incendi ary, and the no less fatal but inevitable attacks of time. (From the Freeinan' Journal.) INM'GURVriON OK THE GOVEKXOR- On Tuesday last, Governor I Hester, in pursuance of previous arrangements, met both Houses of the Legislature of Penn sylvania. The oath of office having been administered by the Speaker of the Senate, and proclamation made, his Excellency delivered the following INAUGURAL ADDRESS.

Fellow Citizens, The distinguished mark of confidence with which I have been honoured, in being called by the public voice to perform the functions of the executive department of this state, demands my warmest acknowledgments. The opportunity now presented is embraced to express to you, and through you to the freemen of this commonwealth, the lively sense of gratitude with which the public suffrage, in my favour, has filled me. My conduct in that station in which the people have been pieased to place me, contrary to my own inclination and judgment, shall, I hope, prove the sincerity of the gratitude expressed The solemn pledge, which I have just given, to perform the duties of my office with fidelity, impresses me with a deep sense of their importance, and I have reason to implore the assistance of Divine Providence in the arduous task I have undertaken. The many difficulties which a chief magistrate of this stale has to encounter, increased, probably at this time, beyond what tbey have been heretofore, and the great responsibility attached to his office, render me seriously apprehensive that my best efforts will be inadequate to give satisfaction, even to the disinterested and patriotic part of the community. But, I trust, if any errors shall be committed, they will not be chargeable to intention, they will owe their origin to the imperfection of our nature and the nanow limits of human foresight; they will not proceed from a wilful neglect of duty on my part, nor from any want of devotion to the best interests of our beloved country.

Such errors, I may justly hope, will meet with indulgence from an enlightened and liberal people. Where censure shall, upon a full and impartial view of matters, be merited, let it not be withheld. It is the duty of freemen to examine closely into the conduct of those to whom they have dele gated their power, or the guardianship of their rights and interests; to censure the abuse of the one, or the neglect and mismanagement of the other. In approaching- the station to which I have been called, with a due sense of its difficulty and responsibility, I pledge myself to pursue vith sincerity and diligence, that course which my best judgment shall direct, to promote public happiness; and bel evmg that to cherish and strengthen an attachment to free government, to soften the rancour and allay the prejudices of party spirit, to unite the mass of the people as one republican family, will be among the means of increasing the comforts of social life, I shall direct all my efforts to accomplish these purposes. Considering myself as elected by the people of this commonwealth and not by any particular denomination of persons, 1 shall endeavour to deserve the name of Chief Magistrate of Pennsylvania, and to avoid the disgraceful appellation of Governor of a party.

In appointments to office, it will be my endeavour to select without distinction of party, such as I believe to be the most honest and capable; and if 1 shall be successful in this respect, I trust that, with the assistance of your wisdom and patriotic endeavours in matters of legislation, the prosperity of the commonwealth may be promoted, its relations with the general government honourably upheld, and all its lawful rights main tained. In deliberating upon the -concerns of the commonwealthf.
