The Paris Papers of Saturday arrited this forenadn. The Chamber of Deputies continues occupied with the uninteresting details of the Budget of Ways and Means. Ten young persons, marked out as the ringleaders in the disorder at the School of Law, have been ar rested : three of them have been sent to La Force, 'and the remainder committed to the military prison Of Mostaign. A letter from Spain. states, that Joseph Alvarez de Toledo, formerly a chief of the American insurgents, who had obtained permission to take up his residence at Madrid, has been ordered to quit Spain. It is reported that a Hungarian Diet will be con voked in the course of next year, during which the EMPRESS of AUSTRIA will be crowned Queen of Hungary, as the seco4cl spouse of the Emperor was in 1792. The Bavarian Government which has recently been expending considerable sums in military con structions at Deux Ponts and Landau, has given or ders for their suspension. This proceeding is sup posed to be the result of a Treaty which is on foot for the transference of the Rhenish territories of Ba varia to Prussia. The Papers of Stutgardt are filled with frightful pictures of the progress of pauperism and depopula tion throughout the Kingdom of Wurtemberg. The proceedings of the approaching Diet are looked for ward to with great anxiety. French Five per Cents.—Friday, 69fr. 45c: We subjoin from a private letter from Paris, some judicious remarks on the recent change in the Spa nish Ministry, and the present state of the relations between Spain and this country. The removal of M. Casa 'Vivi° and his colleagues is ascribed with much appearance of probability, to the interposition of this country with respect to the threatened cession of Florida to the United States, our Ambassador having, it is said, demanded either the rejection of the treaty, or the surrender of Cuba, as an indem nity to England. 14 PARIS, JULY 3. " There is no doubt that it is the influence of your Cabinet which has turned out Casa d'Yrtijo, after the demand made by your Ambassador, either not t 6 ra tify the sale of the Floridas, or to give up to you the island of Cuba as a necessary counterpoise to the influence of the United States in the Gulf of Mexico. It is probable that Ferdinand believed he could satisfy you by disgracing the advisers of the Ameri can treaty, with respect to which, without formally refusing to ratify it, he will make no positive decla ration for some time, according to the custom of the Spanish Cabinet when it is embarrassed. Will these delays and tergiversations suffice to check the pro gress of events which are hurrying on in the New World. Here, at least, we do not think so. d" , The United States will keep the Floridas, either by the title of regular cession, if the treaty shall be subsequently ratified; or by the title of a guarantee for the payment of the debt due to them by Spain, if there shall be any further delay. This fact we con sider certain, unless you declare war against them. Thus all that Ferdinand will gain by this hesitation will be the danger of making the Cabinet of Wash- 1 ington renounce the conditional engagement which it contracted of not recognizing for the present the new American republics. " Your Cabinet, on the other hand, will not allow itself to be deceived by these appearances. Whether Ferdinand ratifies or not, your Ministers will-see that the Floridas belong decidedly to the United States ; that force alone can take that territory from them ; that this force cannot come from Spain, and that therefore the crisis of war or compensation for you has arrived, ' 4 You will nbt declare war in the financial diffi culties in which you are implicated, by the approach ing change in your circulation, and in the midst of your other internal embatrassments. My anticipa tion, therefore, is, that you will, under some pretest pr other, obtain possession of the island of Cuba,' ,which Ferdinand will neither Five the inclination nor courage openly to surrender to you. The uneasiness which is expressed already among you at seeing the 'United States milking use of the harbour of Pensa cola, whence they might in a few days attack this magnificent Colony, is a proof of the fate that awaits it, sooner or later. You will not suffer yourselves to be anticipated—you will even appear at a point of need to be guaranteeing . Spain from an inevitable F ,calami t ty—you will promise, if it be necessary, not to keep Cuba, except as a depot, till the period when Spain shall be able to procure the restitution of the Floridas. 44, The quarrel concerning these two Provinces, whatever may be its result, adds fresh certainty to the independence of South America, which will be recognized much more speedily either by the United Stater or by you, perhaps by both, froma sort of useful priority and natural emulation. , .• News arrived yesterday from the Country of the following Banks Stopping Payment Messrs.

LIQUIDATION OF NATIOAL DEBT: The enormous amount of flie National Debt of Great Britain is th• soli cause 4 the Public distress. It would then follo4 that it is only by a diminuziad of this debt that w e an ever h o p e f or . relief. There are only two modes by tvhich a liquidatitid can be effected .namely, by taxatilin or compulsory means, or by voluntary subscription: In the present state of the country, farther taxation is totally out of the question: there remains therefore one mode only by which we are ever likely to pay off even a part of this immeasurable debt--namely, by patriotic or voluntary subscription. Whether, however, by voluntary or compulsory means, whatever part of this debt is hereafter paid, must necessarily come from the pockets of the people. The rapid accumulation of interest, commonly called the Sinking Fund, still comes out of the na tional purse. It being a debt contracted for, must necessarily be discharged 6y the people. Patriotism alone might prove an insufficient sti mulus to voluntary subscription for the purpose of reducing the National Debt: a measure should there fore he devised, whereby interest might be combined with public spirit ; and for this end— Suppose a great National Lottery were established, to be drawn once in each year, the proceeds of which to be applied to the sole purpose of reducing the National Debt, and ne other. The clamour usually railed againit Lotteries would not attach to these. The purposes for which former Lotteries were made, were of themtelves often ex• tremely unpopular : in the present instance, the ap plication would be for a most noble .object,, the re duction of the'National Debt; and therefore could not fail. of becoming exceedingly popular : and by Government managing the whole business, instead of Contractors, all the mischievous gambling which at present exists, would be avoided. By arranging the Scheme of such an Annual Lot tery judiciously, it would not press at all upon the lower classes. The wealth of the country is sufficient to defray annually a large portion of the National Debt without inconvenience: no country in the world can boast so much wealth, or so many wealthy inha bitants; it may in truth be said of us, that thbugh collectively poor, we are individually rich. By mak ing the Prizes large, and the prices of the Tickets high, a stimulus would be given to purchasers, and the lower classes would be protected. Foreigners ' would also, in all probability, be induced to purchase Tickets, and thereby assist us in the great object we have in view. There is never any difficulty in raising money to any amount in this country. If the Minister wished to borrow 50 millions to-morrow on loan, the list Would be instantly filled up, a proof of the sufficiency of wealth ; the payment of the interest alone is the grievance, because this latter is raised by Tates, While, because it is a voluntary act, the producing the whole of the principal is hardly felt.

Yesterday his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT, attended by the Right Hon. CHARLES LONG, visited the Exhibition of the Royal Academy. He was re ceived and conducted through the rooms by the Officers of that Establishment. His Royal Highness remained nearly two hours in viewing the numerous works of art collected there this year, and was pleas ed to express his high appi'obation of the excellence displayed in so many instances by the established and rising-Artists of this country. Yesterday Prince LEOPOLD drove to Claremont, and in the evening returned to town. A Catholic Aggregate Meeting was held on the Ist itijst. at Dublin, at which a series of Resdlutions were. adopted, recommending a renewal of separate Petitions foi the Repeal of the Penal Laws affecting Catholics, and returning thanks to the Earl of Do- NOUGHAIORE, Earl Gan, the Bishop of NORWICH, Mr. GRATTAI. , and Mr. CROKER, for their support in parliament. It is stated in The Scotsman, that the Edinburgh Banks have resolved in future to draw on London at 20 days instead of 50 as formerly; and that this ad vantageous arrangement for the public has been effected by Mr. MABERLEY'S perseverance in doing the same thing in the Offices established by him. An American Paper, of the 10th June, has the fol lowing paragraph :--4. Captain BARTLETT, arrived at New York on Tuesday last, in ten dayi from Ha vannah, informs that the rumour on the subject of the cession of Cuba to Great Britain had subsided, Or was only spoken of as idle and unfounded." SURREY THEATRE.—Last night a new Piece, called Montrose, taken from Tales of my Landlord, was 'brought forward, and, after being honoured with the most decided approbatiOn, was re-announced, on horseback, by hyswitußr.t, in the character of Cap tain Dalgetty, of Drumthwacket. The Siege of Troy followed, and was succeeded by tile /bide of Lam mermoor, which was received with a degree of eclat, that promises to make it another Heart of Mid- Lothian.—The House was crowded. • k i ws a , • • We subjoin An extract of a iettei which bias beed feceived t i orn Santiagii de Chili, dated March 1.

This comet, as we mentioned yesterday, is the same that was described in 7he Philosophical Magazine for March last year, and is now on its return from its nearest approach to the sun. The moan being now on the want, the comet may be expected to become better defined from this time till some days after next new moon—the absence of the moon's light render ing that of the comet more visible.—Some of our Readers may, perhaps, not be aware of the fact, and therefore we mention it, that telescopes with high magnifying powers are not the best adapted for view ing such a phenomenon as is now presented to us. Where mere curiosity only is to be gratified, a good Opera-glass may be employed with advantage. This comet was seen in the Northern parts of the kingdom before it was observed with us. It was ob served at dinburgh on Thursday last, and more disc tinctly than it bas yet been seen here. Its nucleus is reptesented as having appeared there very brilliant, and of about three-fourths of the diameter of Jupiter ; and the whole breadth of the coma, of head, as about thrice the diameter of the nucleus: Yesterday the Duke and Duchess of YORK, with a select party, went down the River to Blackwall to dinner.
