We have received the Paris Papers of Monday and Tuesday. They inform us that the French Fund► continue to bear a high prices they are at upwards of 60. This may be regarded as a proof of the in- creasing confidence of the monied interest in France, in the stability of their Government...it also proves . that the death of lklrr has " sickbed o'er. with the pale cast of tear," the countenances of the factious. Lavatarrs will no*, in all probablity, be pardoned. The same kind of interest which saved the life of his master, BONAPARTE, will save his. We allude to his Connections by marriage : the King of BL►vARtA has the honour to be allied to LAVALRTTE in this way, the latter having married a sister of Prince BEAL/HAANOIS, Wiles in his turn married a Princess of BAVARIA ; and the King of BAVARIA has accordingly been induced to SOiiCit LAVALIITTeS pardon. FRENCH PRO I'ESTANTB. The promised Authentic account of the events that' . have taken place at Nismes, appeared in an Evening Paper last night, .and proves to be, as we expected, an extract from a pamphlet published some time ago' by M. MtcitAlto, Printer to the King, with nb other object but to blacken the Protestints.and white-wash their persecutors. We shall endeavour to make room for it on Monday ; for, like almost every justification of persecution preserved on record, it is so overcharged • With allegations on the one hand, and justifications of crimes on the other, as to defeat its object. It is a production only to be equalled in the baseness of its design by the absurdity of its statements. As the affair of the 12th of November is most fresh in the recollection of our Readers, we shall refer to the account of that scandalous day. 14 It is not pre tended to palliate that disorder," but why then omit to state that the Protestant tetbples had been shut for several months, and that when the smallest was to be opened by order of the Duke d'Arroout.san, who assured the Protestants of his favour and protection, after the business of the Bth, the day on which he en tered Nimes, and which is assigned as the reason for the reaction on the 12th ? Not a word of complaint or reproof, from the Duke is pretended to have beeh given. " The violent interruption of the Protestant worship was a serious offetaa,"—it *as not an interruption, bat a prevention " though only com mitted by an assemblage of women and children, deserves not the less esemplary punishment."— Via we deny ; the conduct of silly women and ignorant children does deserve less severe punish ment than that of an organized and inveterate mob. And, by the bye, in what a state must Nismes, and the Protestants of Nismes especially, be, when women and boys could set at defiance the public authority, and prevent the Reformed from celebrating public worship. But we deny the truth of this" attempt to palliate that disorder." Women and children dare not, could not, effect what was effected, uniku they were supported, and protected and directed by a powerful party. u A ruffian murdered LA °AIM and doubtless Ise ltag long premeditated the ant;" but remember brifts a soldier of the National Guard, or rather of 'Pushups's company. "No one sided the assassin." Vltlry really—how could 91 men pull one trigger ?-- sad why should they aid him when the first blow, and that be aimed, was so effectual ? u No one pro tected him." Was not his escape protection—and has he not been protected so this day 1 u He was the only man on . the spot." Then the more easily de tected and seized by the assistants of the Ge neral. 14 And the women would doubtless have arrested him, but for the rapidity of his flight, and the terror with which they were impressed"— that is, the women and children were so formidable as to require the General and an armed force to quell them, and so blood-thirsty as to endeavour to kill the Protestants; but all at once they are powerless and sentimental, wicked and absurd ! But 46 the King published an Ordonnance against the authors of the assassination"—why so ? it was only one ruf fian. 44 Dispositions were made for quartering the troops ow the inhabitants of Nismes, till the assassin and his accomplices are brought to trial." But what becomes of the women and children, and how is it that this ruffian has not been taken, when the pocket as well as the virtue of every inhabitant, most bt in teitiital In talci . eg The CTillie iiiai ioinmittei by one Min alone, unaided, in the midst of • etowd of women indignant'at his crime, bn Sunday, 12th of Novembert and. no*, Saturday, 23d of December, we have nbt heard that he has been taken. What must the Public think of the . Courier ? Happilf the same paper that gives the poison, ptesents the anti dote; and on the same day that this attack is Made on the French Protestants, the Authorities of this country are exhorted to make Mr. MAasn, the note rious opposer of the Bible Society, Dam of West minster. We have an account of the affair of the 12th of Novembrr, from the Pamphlet just published by the down' itee of the Dissenting Ministers. We shall publis:i it on Monday, if possible, and leave the Public to decide which is really authentic. It is not wonderful that the Bill proposed by Mr. Wasearonca, and which will probably come on early in the approaching Session, for the registry and regulation of Slaves, should excite alarm among men engaged directly or indirectly in a wicked and prohi bited commerce ; but it must appear surprizing that the House of Assembly of Jamaica, composed err tirely of honourable men, should chew so much ten derness about penalties and forfeitures which can never affect them—for law are made only for the 'pitied and di:Jed:lost. It is A truth, however much the fact may be kept out of view by certain men, that immense numbers of Africans continue to be carried away from their native country to the West Indies; and justice re quires that effectual means should be adopted to pi-e -vent their importation into Islands where the traffic has been prohibited : but this is not all that is re quired at the hand of Justice. Slavery itself must be ' abolished ! but first the condition of the slaves must ' be ameliorated ; but this can never be accomplished without the intervention of legal enactments.— It does not follow, however, that emancipation must be accompanied with injustice. Let the slaves be fitted for the blessing by proper education ttreatment is included in the means of education]. Let their hours of labour be settled by law—let them be paid for over labour, and those who can m..ke a proper use of liberty will acquire property. Let the value of tt slave be fixed (as was the case in the French Islands) and give the slave a right to redeem * a day of each week at a set price; on which day he may labour for his own emolument, and thus acquire property to buy a second day—and so 'of the re maining days, till he has purchased his entirefreedom. Thus, in process of time, will a race of free labourers be produced, and the benefits of hired labour be en joyed by the planters—a system greatly preferable in every point of view, whctlicr religious, political, ur commercial, to that of culture by slaves. We have received, by the ship Perseverance, letters from Buenos Ayres up to 24th September; but they are extremely barren of news, no late accounts having been received Iron) Peru. An Order has been issued -in the Canary Islands, enjoining that tilt Mails, from whatsoever quarter they may arrive, are :o be carried to the Governor's house, and examined before delivery to the public.— It is supposed that this measure originated in the circumstance of the late General Postage being a native of the Canaries. &arra A IJERICA.—In Venezuela the Patriots are fast dislodging their oppressors : the Mexicans are also making great progress id the work of emancipa tion ; and every thing indicates that the whole of South America will soon be fete. Can any person regret this who has marked the character of FERDI NAND'S Government, and who can make a proper estimate of the injury sustained by well regulated Governments when popular clamours result from the abuse of power in other countries? Brussels Papers to the 20th, arrived last eight, but their contents are not important. The principal cir cumstances therein mentioned are, the Address of the Inhabitants of Phillipeville on their annexation to the Netherlands, with the KlNces Answer ; and an announcement, that the new Work of the Abbe de Pam, on the Vienna Congress, has been seized by the Police of Paris. The Earl of SELKIRK, Lady, and Family, arrived at Montreal. via New York, on the 3d ultimo. The influx of rung Kitten and Misses from the Boarding Schools, for miles round the metropolis, has, for some days past, been enormous ; it is calcu. hated that not less than thirty thousand happy juve oars have entered by the turnpike-gates of the four great roads, to spehd the holidays with their friends and relatives ; and we sincerely wish them all many happy returns of the season. We understand that the LORD MAYOR gives a Public Dinner at the Mansion House to a limited number every day in the week (Sundays excepted). The porter stationed at the front gate has a slate, which describes the number for each day. The Low MAY YOR'S friends have only to call and put their names down for any day that suits them. If they intend dinin•• on the day they call, it must be before twelve o'clock. PEDESTRI Amsu.--Maidstone, Dec. 22, (19th Day.)

These two Regiments have similar facings, and bait seen much service together.

Detachments of the 21st, 71st, 79th, and 9lst Re giments, have successively passed through Canter. bury for Dover in the course of the week, in order to embark for France to join their respective regiments. A detachment of the 28th Regiment has also marched from Ramsgate, through Canterbury, for Maidstone. The party of recruits, consisting of 173 men, be longing to the West Kent Regiment of Militia, which marched from Maidstone a short time since, arrived on Thursday se'nnight at Liverpool, and immediately embarked with a fair wind for Dublin.
