We have this day received the Paris Papers of Tuesday and Wednesday, being all that are now due : we have made some interesting eatracts. Ge neral Ilovia's punishment has been commuted for imprisonment for twenty years. The French Funds are at 62 and 60 cents. According to the accounts from Madrid, the cow duct of FiRIIINAND is as iisarre as ever. He has now prohibited the introduction of all books from foreign countries, and imprisoned an Englishman for having too much gold about him. The Chamber of Deputies are still occupied with discussions on the Finances. Some more state trials are about to take place, but we presume that no further capital punishments will be inflicted. - PARIS, MARCH If. [FROM THZ OFFICIAL PART OF THZ a PARIS, MARCH 18. 14 General Mouton Duvernet being pursued on every side ; and not being able to escape, has sur rendered himself to the Authorities. He is at Mont brison, guarded by the National Guards." We are assured that the King, in commuting Ge neral Boyer% punishment, took into his consideration the sentiments of respect which M. Boyer never failed to express,- even during his Rebellion, for the Bour bon name; the attachment of his whole family for the cause of the King; the services of a brother, who has made all the campaigns of the army of Conde ; and the interest with which the culprit himself had inspired his Jadges, by his resignation, and his regret at having failed in his duty to his Prince. We can not sufficiently admire the mildness of the new punish ment (which might have been that of transporta tion), for it still carries with it marks of goodness, and leaves no stain on his character. Hearts truly French will know how to appreciate this, and will recognise, in addition to the virtues of the King, that wisdom which watches over the public safety, and leaves no crime unpunished.—Ganeris dr Franc& The instant that General Boyer knew that his Majesty bad received his petition for mercy, he , withdrew his appeal in revision. The Kiog is not yet sufficiently recovered from the gout to leave his chamber. Yesterday the Inquest was held at the Castle of Vincennes preliminary to the exhumation of the body of the Duc d'Enghien, which will take place on Wednesday or Thursday. Plin;e Metternich yet ;offers much with his eyes; the inflammation is now at its height, yet it is hoped his sight will not materially be affected. The Archduke Antony has been named Viceroy of Venetian Lombardy. Three wine•merchants have been arrested for hoist ing the tricoloured flag at the wine hall, subsequent to the 2Qtb of March—other charges are brought against them. Bory de St. Vincent (du Nain Jame) is gone to Russia. The commemoration of the 12th March, 1814, ha b been celebrated this year at Bourdeaux with great joy'; balls, fetes, and every species of amusement, took the lead of business for three days. We hear that the British Government have given two frigates to the King of Sardinia, to protect his States and commerce from the Barbary pirates. Savary and Lallemand are still at Malta; seven English regiments are there also 1 , The Maquis of Blosseville has made some very serious charges against Messrs. Perregaux, Lafitte and Co. which we are happy to hnd have been an swered in a very spirited manner. Several Mayors in the Department of the Doubs have been dismissed. _ _ _ The agitators have been at work at Vile Fnuichh, near Lyons, but the Prefect soon subdued and anus. ted them. On Monday the Court of Assizes condemned dire* Jewi to six years insprisonmest mob, for robbery. One hundred and forty-four houses have been piled down at Charleroi, and the land of 400 pro- prietors purchased to be incorporated in the new for tifications. —The English fleet, under Lord Exmouth, is now at Genoa. General Becker, who conducted Bonaparte to La Rochelle, and General Selmer, have received orders from the Prefect to quit Clermont. The former is sent to Poitiers, and the latter to Marseilles. The trial of General Gilly will be proceeded in immediately. All proceedings against General and other Officers, i n the East of France, are suspended until it is deci ded whether they are included in the Law of Am nesty or 801. By an Arret of the Chamber of Accusation of the 16th instant, Madame Lsvalette . has been definitively set at liberty t the domestics of M. Lavalette, and the keepers, are got before the Court of Asshets, for. having facilitated the escape of Lavalette; and Mean. Wilson, Bruce, and Hutchinson, area's* sent before the Court of Assizes, accused of baring con finvists% escape. Thus, with respect to these false ti the chief bead of accusation is M oseyed. • PARIS, MARCH SO. His Majesty has commuted the sentence of Death we. General Boyer into imprisonment for twenty years k a State Prison. The Council of War charged with the trial of General Debelie, will assemble the first week of April. M. BenTer, jun. is chosen as his defender. Friday last a General was seen passing through Versailles from Trappes, surrounded by an escort of gees d'armes, and he was supposed to be General Travot. This cannot be the case, however, for bladanie Travot has set out from Paris for Rennes, where her husband is detained. • The lawsuit instituted by Governor Sack, against the Editor of the Rlansish Manny, has terminated. Governor Sack haj been condemned in costs of suit to the Editor, who has been - acquitted. We hear that General Belliart has not been ms at liberty, but only removed to a house of health, being dangerously ill. where he remains under surveillance. It is said that Marshal Soak has embarked at Hamburgh for England. Marshal Augereau, it appears, intends 6zing his, residence at Ossenbach, about a league from Frankfort. It appears certain that General Mouton.Ours:net has been :crested at Montbrison. The city of Constance is full of French ezaele the authorities intend dispersing them. It is said that the Abbe Maury has asked permis sion of the Pope to finish his days in a convent. Monsieur and the Duke de Berri are expected 'to visit Lyons shortly. MADRID, MARCH 7. Several person if distinction have been arrested in this capital, within these few days ; and among others an Englishman, on whom an enormous sum in gold was found : it is not known what use he meant to make of it. All the booksellers have been called before the Tribunal of the Incjaisition, where they must give the list of all the works which they have in their magazines, in order that those which are likely to displease the Holy Office' may be inter. dieted : we are even assured that this Tribunal so. licits the prohibition of every description of books coming from foreign countries. At Pampelana, and throughout all Navarre, seve. ral officers have been arrested, who formed part of the corps d'armee of Espoz y Mina : one of the Chiefs of this corps, named Cholin, living at some dittance from Pampeluna, saved himself by flight. A Mail from Flanders arrived this morning. The Dutch Papers brought by it contain the following articics of interest: BRUSSELS. MARCH IR His Highness Prince Esterhazy arrived yesterday evening at Brussels; he is going to •isit his son, who is the Austrian Ambassador at London. BRUSSELS, MARCH 17. We expect the Archdukes John and Louis, who will probably remain here some days. These Princes intend to visit the principal cities of Belgium. The Archduke John is well known to possess great military knowledge, particularly in the Engineer Department. He commanded the Austrian army in the Tyrol in the unfortunate campaign of 1809. Our brave coun tryman the Marquis de Chasteler, commanded under him the Austrian troops. We have not forgotten the famous Order of the Day published by Bonaparte, who, enraged at the rising of the Tyrol, ordered General Chsisteler to be brought before a Court-mar tial, which was to have him shot in 94/hours after the identity of his person was proved. But that brave Officir, at the head of a small corps, and though all the roads were shut against him, succeeded in making a rarest, which cdvered him with glory. MARCH 18.—It is said that by the Ist of May next great changes will be effected in the organization of our national army. The light cavalry, it is said, will be augmented. The Duke of Wellington had not yet arrived at Cambray the day before yesterday, though he was expected every moment. After having inspected the right wing of the army of occupation, and given all the necessary orders for the definitive organization of all the cantonments, his Grace] will return to Paris. There are reasons for believing that he warmly inte rests himself in the fate of the three English Gentle men who are going to be tried. Among the different subjects which the Can, Diet will have to deliberate upon at Fgankfort, is what relates to the strength and composition of the garrison of the fortress of Luxemburg in time of peace. The inhabitants wish that it might be wholly composed of National troops. Private letters from London tell us, that abovit three hundred passports have been delivered for Eng- lish families who are coming to Brussels—.they are almost all of the richer classes, and amount to about one thousand persons in all. . Letters from Paris say, that the new work of Mr. de Pradt upon Spain, which will appear in the course of April, will contain information of high import ance, and hith . erto little known, concerning the ne gociations with which be had been charged by Bo naparte. The ci.devaat Archbishop of Mechlin has sold his Manuscript at an enormous price. , It is affirmed that this last work, added to the produce of the Ens. bauy to Warsaw and the Coosress of Vienna, ban - Ty -;-;. awed him 120,003 fraud. J. J. Rousseau bad 100 crowns for his Emilie. HAGUE, MARCH IS. M. Cambaeeres, the ez•Chancellor of France, is going to Rotterdam, where he will finally settle. It is known that this famous personage is not compre hended in any list of proscription, and that he is not , among the number of the regicides banished by the King of France. - ROME, FEBRUARY M. The Spanish Ambassador, who is charged by his Court to defend the interests of the Queen of Etruria, has lately addressed several notes relative to the Duchy of Parma, to the Austrian Ambassador, but the answers he has received have not been very satis factory. It appears that the Austrian Court desires to have as few neighbours as possible in Italy. Spain has caused notes to be delivered to the Ministers of the other Powers to interest them in this affair. The cause of the Queen of Etruria seems, however, to be not much favoured at this moment; and it is proba ble that that Princess will accompany her august pa rents to Spain. MILAN, MARCH 1. Our putts publishes the new division of the pro. vines of the Kingdom of Lombardy and Venice. BERLIN, MARCH 4. Field-Marshal Prince Blucher is rapidly recovering: be does not concern himself with the political affairs .of Prussia, and has never desired to exercise any sort of influence in the hosiiess of Government. General Count Gneisenau commands our simy on the left bank of the Rhine, and has never been em pkled in matters of politics. TOURNAY, MARCH 14. The Archdukes John and Louis arrived here yes• today at noon, and were immediately waited upon by the Civil and Ecclesiastical Authorities. To-day they have visited the Cathedral, Ste. We hope that they will remain here for some days. COLOGNE, MARCH 14. The German Paper declares positively that the immense treasure in silver plate and jewels which is going to be put .p to sale at Ststgard, belonged to the Ex-King Jaime, and that it has been judged ad visable to apply these dead funds to his support, and not leave at bis disposal (in the same manner as ha s been done with his brother Napoleon) resources of which be might make a bad use. The efficacy of the Vote of Monday night becomes every hour more apparent, and if Ministers and Par liament persist with res dation and energy in the new course which k has rendered expedient, the country, though not instantly, will eventually surmount its present difficulties. The Army and Ordnance Esti mates have been postponed, foe the evident purpose , of revising and amending them; the War Salaries of the Secretaries of the Admiralty have been given up, that is, the increase that had been added to their ' Peace Salaries, which it was intended to continue; and other retrenchments are certainly contemplated : among these the country will expect a large reduc tion of other salaries, and the annihilation of many sinecures. In one word, the expenditure must be -adapted to Our means. The country cannot afford the wages at whkh some men rate their services: but on the other hand, these men are notcompelled to serve; if they do not approve of such remuneration as the country can afford, and in consequence withdraw, the country must e'en be contented with the services of su cb as may be willing to take reduced wages. A reduction in the price of labour is now the Order of the day : it is a necessary consequence cf the reduction of wealth, of the reduction in the demand for labour, of the re duction in the price of necessaries. It may be believed that Ministers were strongly in fluenced by the state of Europe, after such unlooked. for events, at the time they brought forward their es timates. They would have been culpable had they overlooked this. _ , But ever since that period events have assumed in France an aspect favourable to the prospects of conti nued peace. It is singular enough that at the very time that our Parliament was taking up the questi-n of retrenchment, and to enforce it, rejecting the proposed Income Tax, the Chamber of Deputies were occu pying themselves with the same object. Ministers there, as here, were urging atastity, as their plea for obtaining large supplies ;—and the Majority, there as here, repelled the argument, demanding that the estimates should be reduced to the scale of ability. It is evident that in proportion as our neighbours put. sue measures in unison with the hope of a prolonged cc e e n , ed our reasons for fearing its interruption must be ' . France, no more than Britain, can carry ea a war, without a war-revenue. Her anxiety to redoes the peace•expenditure, is therefore an answer to the apprehensions of a hostile kind entertained re. 'petting France; and furnishes another inducement for reducing our own Military Establishments to a scale which, ,in other circumstances, some people might not think advisable. The Qom had a party on Thursday evening, at which the Duchess of Yonx and Pnncess SOPHIA of GLoncisvaa were present. It is said the Quass will hold another Drawing room on Thursday se'nnight. All the attendants who were discharged from the Princess Cnatatorra's establishment at the period of the commencement or the attachment which has led to the union now so happily in train of conclusion,' ate, it is said, to be again restored to their several situations; their removal not having been occasibned by any fault of theirs, or of any of them, but sugges ted by the policy with which anothei connection was then pressed on her .Royal Highness. Sir GODERRY Wimirta's Lady is the only one yet generally known to be named to a place in the Court of the Princess Cusatorra. - Lady Waseren has been particularly recommended to this distinguished honour by the par tiality of the Princess CHARLOTTE herself. Her High ness's marriage will be solemnised at Caltoa.House. BRIGHTON, MART After a painful and severe cone 20th of jannary, his Royal Hi RZGENT was enabled to take a rii two boors yesterday about •he P. this day, in particular, his R•): occupied for several hours, beii Prince LIoPOLD, S:r EDMUND N, &e.

CORK, MARCH 17. Sailed the GUAMPUS trigate fur Lisbon. It appears by the French Journals, that the Cbmt!• ber of Accusation has decided against trying ow countrymen charged with aiding the escape of LA• VALITTS for high treason. They are now to be tried before the Court of Assizes. We have no doubt that it will appear they only assisted in conveying him out of France. The Consecration of the BISHOP of OXIVID fixed for to-morrow. The ceremony takes place in Lambeth Chapel, and the Sermon on the occasion will be preached by the Rev. C. P. BURNLY. A Morning Paper of this day states, that the boon of Messrs. Nicuoi.sow, Distillers, in Clarkenwellihad stopped payment yesterday. We are authorized to say that the report is unfounded. To-monnow's Observer will contain a fall reportof the Trial at the Maidstone Assizes, Roams v.
