FRENCH PAPERS. . , The Paris Papers of Sunday arrived last night.— The Debate upon the Election Law, article by article, continues. On.Satorday the discussion exceeded in violence any that has yet taken place. M. de Ia FAYETTE eulogised the Revolution, and _reiterated the principles of 1789, wits such undisguised force and warmth of expression, as to excite dreadful agi tation, and to call down upon him imputations of revolt, rebellion, and insurrection. He had, he said, been fourteen years a stranger to the Imperial Go verr.ment. He was no: less a stranger to that of 1815. He came on the political stage when the Charter was given to France, and, being thus politi cally impartial, he contended that BONAPARTE was replaced in 1815, not by any party, but by the ge- ' neral alarm felt throughout France, that the feudal oppressions were returning, and that liberty and property ware no longer secure. Such an alarm existed, he said, at present, and a similar result might he expected from similar combi I nat.sms.— He ascribed all the evils which had befallen France to the attempts made by an armed emigration to three upon her the old despotism, and indignantly repelled the insulting expressions used in some of the pieced in7 debates, with regard to the tricoloured flag— .. That sign," he said, .4 of emancipation and glory, which Louis XVI. ha I accepted from the hands of the Nation ; which had received the homage of all the Powers, and waved, during twenty years, in the midst of vanquished Europe !"—(Cries on the right, ' This is dreadful!') " These colours were those of liberty, equality, ar.d public order"—( Violent uproar and lit- 1 digneion from the Mini4crial and Chia Benches). — The orator, says the report or the proceedings., coolly proceeded to the consideration of the first article, which he termed libel-Heide, and concluded with an appeal to the enlightened wisdom and "premature experience" of the youth of France. M. La Fayette was followed by M. de SNARE, Keeier of the Seals, who said, that the preceding ~ :ator. from generous motives : he believed, had marched at the head ofa popular mass, which he had excited to subvert an ancient Monarchy. That epoch no .v l?elonged to history, and with it history would judge M. La Fayette , who must have felt horror in his soul, and the blush of shame on his brow, when the populace, which he had moved, plunged into crimes which he could not check and was obliged to 1 follow—( Repeated murmurs and:hauls ?fapprobation).! The KEEPER of the SEALS next attacked his eulogy of the tricoloured sta ndaru,which was now the standard of revolt. He asked, in case this language, thus cri minally imprudent, should excite insunection'abroid, j poll whose head would the Wood, shed by the sword of ; :hellion, or the sword of justice, tall ?-411us,litss to M. Ia Fayette as " a man, perhaps, hononrable an s,,ate respects - —(lhe lei cried out that this Wad per songs! iii.ult, and mucli• confusion anti interruption ensued).—M. LA FAYETTE, however, beggeJs hi, trieads would take no trouble about it, and let the Mini , ter proceed. M. BENJAMIN CONSTANT succeeded to the tri bune, asid defended the eulogy upon " the national c010ur.."—(64 The colours of revolt," cried several voices on the right.)—(.' We are addressed in else lan. guage of the Revolution," said others.) M. de HAUTFEIJILLE gloried in being an accom pike in the Revolution of 1789—said the nation was then tired of de s potism—and apaarophised the ruins or the Bastille—( Violent murmurs). Tie MINISTER of l'onzson AFFAIRS replied, and defended the law. After this scene of political fury had continued for some time further, the sitting was adjourned. The pi incipal cause of the violence with which the Liberals express themselves in the Chamber, is pro bably the extinction of the free Press. The debates are the only channels of communication with the People, and they strive to produce the strongest pos sible impulse, by the only weapon left them. The Frenth Government has made an issue of 100,000,000 francs in Exchequer Bills, to be given in payment to the Allies, at five per Cent. interest. But it is confidently said, that the Bank of France has taken 60,000,000 of these Bills at four per Cent. and that the remaining 40,000,000 can be easily kept in France at the same rate, which would save 100.000 net to the Treasury. An article of the 17th ultimo, from Vienna, con firms the account of Att PAcitit's having thrown off the dominion of the Poare, and been baptised into the Greek Church, which we stated some time back, on the authority of a private letter from Venice. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. - - HOUSE OF LORDS, MAY :1. Counsel were heard in continuation on the Scots Cause, " Majendle v. Carruthers;" to proceed again to-morrow. Lard MINT° took the oaths and his seat. Lord NAPIEJI presented two Petitions from Occupiers of Land in Berwick, praying for legislative relief.. Lord HILLSBOROUGH presented a similar Petition, signed by a number of Land Owners resident in the County of Kildare, Ireland, convened in Pubilc !Sleeting by the Sheriff. His Lordship stated, that he presented this Petition in the absence of a Noble Duke (Leinecer) whose habit of residing on his estate was as honourable to himself as it was useful to his country. lie observed, that the Petitioners did not pray' for any pew principle of relief, but complained of the low prices which agricultural produce brought in the mat kuts, and the im perfect execution of the Corn Laws, for which they stated as a reason, the iu.tdequate manner in which the average prices of Corn were calculated throughout the country : in praying for that protection which they felt their situation required, they did not, however, ask Parliament to consider the subject sepa rately from the general interests and public policy of the Em pire.—Ordered to lie on the table. Messrs. FAUX, COOrit, Lut•THER, CAMITILIGHT, MUNDY, and STUAIT WORTI.IY, severally brought up Private Dills from the Commons, accompanied by other Members. Mr. BROCDEN and others returned the Civil List Pill, with the concumnce of the Commons to their Lordships Amend ment.—Acijourra.d. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Sir Or.laca Hut, and Mr. D. Baow►, took their oaths and their se:its. A Bill was brought in for allowing a stipend, in lieu of Uthec, to the. Rector of St. Dunstan's in the West; which was read a first, and ordered to he read a second time. LOrd WM. RUSSELL put off the Committee on the Gram pound Disfranchisement Bill from Friday to Monday next. The second reading of thi, Navigable Rivers' Property Bill, and of Sir James Mackintosh's thr.e Bills to ainend the Crimi nal Laws, was poottpuned from Monday next to the 9th of June. Lord GASTI ER EA II withdrew the notice which he had given of a motion for to-morrow, tending to forward the consi deration of Firction Pedtlons. Sir K KNATCHBU LI. brought up a Bill to prevent frauds in the sale of Coals on the River Thansi.s.—Read a first time. 'The House went into a Committee on the Greenland Fishery Acts, and agreed to certain Resolutions fur continuing the same. The Report to be brovg'at up to-morrow. CONTEMPT OF TILE COURT OF CHANCERY. Lord ALTHORP presented a Petition from seve ral persons now in a state of imprisonment by order of the Court of Chancery, for contempt of that Court, and to the periods of whose imprisonment there was no limitation whatever. Oae of the Petitioners was a poor woman, eighty-one years of age, who had been already confined for thirty-one years, by order of the Court of Chancery. Another was a man, sixty-four years of age, who had been imprisoned for thirteen years ; and a third, whose age was sixty, had been in prison above nine years. There was another, who had undergone a long imprisonment, but who now being in a dying state, was unable to give any account of himself. The Noble Lord ob served, he was glad that by presentiug this PatiSitop an oepattunity wasaffarded him ni soppssekg die part-of the Bill for the relief of Insolvent Debtors, in which it was proposed to introduce a clause, that should include prisoners of this description. He had known one or- two instances, in which persons con fined for contempt were ready to comply with the order of the Court; bat in consequence of the timc 1 which had elapsed from the period of their first being sent to prison, they had no means of doing so; meta' of the parties connected with the cause were dead, and the cause itself was forgotten. Under all the circumstances, •he thought that the Noble and Learned Lord who presided in the Chancery Court, could not' do better than that of having all cases of contempt brought before him once or twice a year. Mr. LOCKHART wished that something might be done for the relief of persons suffering this kind" of imprisonment ; but it must be observed, that some of the contempts were acts of a very serious nature, because they prevented others from obtaining justice. The Petition was brought up, and ordered to lie on the table. The following is a copy : " TO me HONOURABLE TILE COMMONS OF THs ;arms KINGDOM or ISSZAT ERITAIN AND IRELAND IN emit:Asir:qv ASSIMILLED, THE PETITION OF CERTAIN FIUSIONERS IN THE FLEET FAISON, WHOSE NAME/I ARE ANNEXED, " Hunaly sttemeels—That your Petitioners have been committed by the High Court of Chancery, and confined for a long titre; some for informality, and others for inadvertence, or neglect, which has been construed into contempt : That your Petitioners labour under every disadvantage and distress, and have suffered privations which would shock the feelings of humanity, while they have been debarred of all means of relief, and deprived of those benefits and privileges which ace afforded by the Law to other Prisoners.—Your Petitioners do not venture to call in question or dispute the strict regularity of their committal; but only to complain of the extreme severity of it, and the great misery which they have so long endured. Desirous of doing what is right, they wish to do all in their power to satisfy every demand of Equity and Justice; and if it be found impos.. sible for them, in their pect.:iar circumstances, to discharge this duty, they hope for the favourable consideration of your Ho nourable House, and that, in this age of humanity and benevo knee, they may enjoy the same advantages which are allowed to Insolvent Debtors. Your Petitioners pray not for indulgence in any acts of dishonesty, but that the same clemency may be shewn to them, which is extended to others in similar unfortu nate circumstances, by the wisdom of die Legislature.--And your Petitioners, as in duty bound, shailkever pray," &c. BREACH OF PRIVILEGE. Mr. W. WYNN observed, that the Hcuse must recollect his having, on a forther day, submitted a circumstance, in which a gross breach of its privi leges had been committed; he meant the action brought by several persons against the Warden of the Fleet Prison, for allowing Air. Burton, who had been confined there, to escape from his custody, al though he had done no more than obey an order of that House, of which Mr. Burton was then a Mem ber. He was now happy to inform the House that the action was withdrawn, and the parties who brought it, fully conscious of the impropriety of their conduct, wished to throw themselves on the mercy of the House. lie therefore should move to dis charge the order for the attendance of those parties on Monday next, and put off the same till Monday sennigbt.—The order was discharged accordingly, and the parties ordered toattend-on Monday sennight. FUNDING OF EXCHEQUER BILLS. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, he wished to take the earliest oppoi tunity of stating to Parliament the contract which had been entered into that day with certain holders of Exchequer Bilis, l'art r, sE: -PEN( E. and of which three days' notice had been given w the Public. He should therefore move the Order of the Day, for the House to resolve itself into a Com mittee of Ways and Means. The House then resolved itself into 'a Committee accordingly. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCIIEQUER then addressed the Committee. He could not state the transaction in question sooner than this day; nor could he even have foressen that it would have been in his power to do it so soon, as he did not expect it would have been so soon completed. The con tract, however, having been made, he should, ac cording to the usual practice, give an account of it to the Committee ; and he was satisfied they would . most readily ratify what the Treasury had done.— The general terms of the bargain were these notice had been given on .Friday last, that .a sub scription would be opened for the purpose of fund.% ing seven millions of the F.xcheqtter Bills that were now outstanding, and which amounted to mote than. thirty five martens; and this sum, added to the un funded debt of Ireland, made the whale outstanding debt of the United Kingdom amount to thirty nine millions. The amount was now less by nine millions than the amount of those that were out standing at the corresponding period of last year.— Of the thirty-five millions of Exchequer Bills issued for the service of Great Britain, fourteen . nillions were in the possession of the Bank of England, and so there remained about twenty-one millions in the hands of the Public. As it was intended that a loan to a certain amount should be made, it was consi dered that the best mode would be, Erst to call in seven millions of the outstanding Exchequer Bills, and convect the same into stock. On a future day he should state the amount of the sum that was in tended to be raised by. loan. It only now remained for him to la/ before the Committee the particulars of the bargain which had been made that day ; it was, that for every £99 in Exchequer Bills, the per son paying the same was to receive £lOO five per. cent. stock. According to t;is arrangement, consi dering the price of the 5 per cents. at the present day, and the fluctuations they were likely to expe rience, the profit accruing to the subscribers would be about £2 per cent. A very eager competition took place that day among numerous persons who came forward to make this bargain ; and the whole was completed in half an hour, instead of two or three days, the time usually taken up in arrangirg a business of that kind. He now had a Resolution to propose, the object of which would be to confirm what had been done. He then moved his Reso lution, declaring it as the opinion of the Committee, that those whit subscribed the seven millions of Ex- Rills, shoed have £lOO in the 5 per ceuti. capital stock for every L 99 in Exchequer Dills. Mr. GREN'ELL said, he understood the eager ness of the competition was so great, that the parties wishing to subscribe, rushed forward that morning at the personal risk of their lives. His object in now rising was, to know, from the Right Hon. Gentle man, whether what he had heard was true, that, although seven millions were now funded, the same number of outstanding Exchequer Bills were still to be kept np? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER re-; gretted very much, that the competition at the Bank had that day caused so much danger, which he was in hopes the precautions taken at the Bank would have prevented. In answer to the question put by the Honourable Gentleman, he had only to repent what he had already stated, that the present amount of the unfunded debt was thirty-nine millions, and in this sum there was to be a reduction of ten mil lions and a half. . Mr. MABERLEY said, it appeared by accounts. on the table of the House, that the whole amount cf the Unfunded Debt on the 6th of January last was 46 'millions. Besides, tbcie was a deficiency of Land and Malt Tax, and therefore he wished to know nu what ground the Right Hon. Gentleman could state the Unfunded Debt at 39 millions? The Consoli dated Fund was also seven or eight millions.in arrear last January ; and now it-was nearly ten millions in artear. How the Dividends in July wcre therefore to be paid he could not conceive, unless money shoed be borrowed from the Bank. It was his (Mr. Ma fierley's) intention to bring in a Bill, authorising the Bank to advance money on the Consolidated Fund, and enabling them to repay themselves from the succeeding Quarter of the Revenue. This would he a much better and safer measure in every respect for the Bank. Mr. JOHN SMITH said, that the question put by an Honourable Friend of his, respecting the seve, l millions of Exchequer Bills which were to be issued in lieu of those funded that day, had not as yet been answered. He (Mr. Smith), by the Exchequer Bills, confessed that he did not understand, the explanatien given by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, because he, and the Public too, understood that the Bight Hon. Gentleman would have filled up the vacuum caused by the funding of the Exchequer Bills whiai were voted last year, and which it was said would have been applied to the set vice of the present year. The question of his Honourable Friend was cpil . e clear, and he apprehended, was capable of an ex, plicit answer. With respect to the confusion said to have taken place at the Bank that morning, regretted very much that it should have taken place. The effect of it was, that the friends of the Rigtlt lion. Gentleman were the successful applicants. . The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER de clared himself ignorant of any confusi-on or ttitritz:.i.• having taken place at the Bank. It was known t., the House, that, the terms of the transaction w e:e known to the Public since Friday last, and all pc-c• sons h a d a n equal opportunity'of presenting the;;;_ selves. The whole was conducted with tl.e tames lair nes, and he believed he could not give the Haus:: a stronger assurance that it was so, than by statir.g. ` that the Bank L'hcctors had the managmen t 01
