We have received, since our last, the Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday. They are almost wholly taken up with a financial debate in the Chamber of Deputies, of no public interest, and with the details of the pending trial of the persons chaiged with being engaged in the treasonable conspiracy of Au gust last, of which, from the length to which they are likely to extend, it would be idle to enter ou any abridgement. We find no accounts in them of the progress of the Greek insurgents; but there are some particulars relating to the winding up of the late commotion: in Italy, which will be found among the subjoined extracts: PARIS. MAY to. On the occasion of the Anniversary of the King's return to his capital, and of the Baptism of the Duke of Bourdeaux, his Excellency the Apostolic Nuncio, in the name of the Diplomatic Corps, congratulated his Majesty in the following terms : " The Diplomatic Corps, witnesses to the love and joy of your people on this day of festivity, have participated in all the senti ments and emotions which it has called forth. " The day which beheld the return of a Bourbon to his capi tal, saw a father restored to his children; and the day which gave a ma to your Majesty, secured to the rising generation a father. The precious infant, whom religion has just consecrated with so much pomp, is become, Sire, a new pledge of repose and happiness for your august House, for France, and for all Europe. The vows and the acclamations of the immense con course who surrounded his cradle, are the voice of PILOYIDfIiC which announces, that be has been sent by Hicavz:a to solace the earth? The Florence Gazette of the 28th of April an -1 ones, that the marriage of the Grand Duke of Tuscany with the Princess Maria Ferdinanda, of Saxony, will soon take place. The Princess and her father are arrived at Florence. FRIVATE LETTER. " VIIINNA, APRIL 29. " It is expected that their Majesties will arrive here towards the 12th of May. The Emperor Alexander will arrive a few days later, and will make but a short stay. He will return by Warsaw to Peters burgh ; and, it is said, he will review his army as sembled on the frontiers of Gallicia. We learn from Constantinople, that the cause of the disgrace and removal of the Grand Vizier was his having failed in respect to the Austrian Government. It is known, that the Grand Seignior always manifests the greatest deference towards our Government.—Course of Ex change, 250." ROME, APRIL 25. His Sicilian Majesty is still within our walls. The Ambassador of Spain to the Court of Naples took leave of his Majesty previous to his departure for London, the new post assigned to him. The five convicts, who after the revolutionary at tempt at Ancarano, Offida, &c. were made prisoners by the troops of the Pope, have been tried by a Spe cial Commission at Ancona, and condemned to death. The Government has sent two Military Commissions to Forli and Ravenna. Their sentences, are to be executed within 24 hours. The garrisons of these two towns are, at the same time, to be changed. M. Cattaneo, Charge d'Affaires from the kingdom of Naples during the Constitutional regime, has been obliged to quit the Farnese Palace. All the pension aries of Naples, for the fine arts, have experienced the same fate. Other Neapolitans have received notice to quit Rome; among these mention is made of the Puke Salinas, of Palermo. NICE, APIIIL le. Very severe measures continue to be enforced here against all those who took any part in the late Re volution. The Mistral, which has prevailed during eight days past, has forced several vessels, on board which the Chiefs embarked at Genoa, to take refuge in the ports. Yesterday a felucca was stranded Rear Monaco; and although Monaco is an independent Principality, the Sardinian Calabineers instantly arrested Colonel Palma, who figured so conspicuously at Alexandria. It is intended to bring all the Constitutionalists to trial before a Council of War. A ship, having on board Count de St. Marsan (the son) and Santa Rosa, bound to Spain, put into Antibes. They have not been permitted to leave the town, and a King's Cou rier has been dispatched to Paris for authority to arrest them. French 5 per Cents. Thursday, 83 1. 6O c. A Hamburgh Mail arrived this forenoon, with Papers to the 4th of May. The following are extracts: FRANKFORT. APRIL ss. Prussia has delivered to the Diet its Declaration against Anhalt-Coethen—persists in its territorial rights, giving an indemnity to Anhalt, respecting which, however, an amicable arrangement may be concluded; and wholly declines the competency of the Diet in this affair. It was decided by a majority, that two Commissioners should be named, to make report to the Diet on the point in dispute. STOCKHOLM, APRIL 22. Till nine - o'clock yesterday evening, Bulletins have been issued from time to time, respecting the health of the Crown Prince. It was the day before yester day that the fever fit kept away for the first time, and we have hopes that his Royal Highness will soon be recovered. Aram 27.—For a fortnight we have been in the greatest anxiety. The Crown Prince was attacked by a violent fever, which began with alarming symp toms. The danger is now happily. over, and the Prince is in a state of convalescence: • This sad event gave the citizens of all classes an opportunity to skew their attachment to his Royal Highness. The gene ral uneasiness, and the eagerness with which people inquired into the state of the Prince's health, the grief evident in ev.ery countenance whenever the issue of the disorder seemed doubtful, showed how the Na tion feels towards the son all the sentiments of gra titude, love, and attachment which it has long che rished for the father. Nothing can equal the joy which is now manifested since the Public are as sured that the danger is wholly past. ALTENBURG, APRIL 29. The most remarkable Resolution of oar States was, that though they consist of thirteen Noble Members, and only four from the Citizens, they have yet pro posed to the Duke to alter the old Constitution of the States so as to be conformable to the present age ; and to confide the deliberation on the welfare of the country in future, to Representative; chosen by the people. As the Diet has been hitherto constituted, only six-sevenths of the landed proprietors were at all re presented. The proposal could not be made without a sacrifice of personal privileges. It has met a fa vourable reception from the Duke, as appears by the Rescript issued by him on the 12th of March. Charleston Papers arrived this morning to the 15th of April. The following is given as an extract of a private letter from Ilavannah, dated April 7 :—lt will be seen from this, that the report of a Revolution having been effected in Mexico, is unfounded : " I wrote you by the Jane, under date of the Ist instant, in which I stated the circumstance of a re cent disturbance at Mexico ; but by more recent ad vices from that place, via Vera Cruz, it appears that the first reports which reached us were rather of an aggravated nature. There had, indeed, been some serious disturbances in that quarter, but the Viceroy was not deposed, as at first stated ; and the insur gents were not likely to succeed in their design of overthrowing the Government. The Captain-General of Vera Cruz had marched to the relief of the Vice roy 6000 men, and there was not the least doubt but that order would be restored. The Consulado has presented a strong remonstrance against the new Tariff, in consequence of which k has been deter mined to postpone the operation of it for ninety days. One hundred and twenty-nine vessels had entered the port of Havannah in the month of February, of which forty-eight were Spanish, fifty American, ten Eng lish, seven Danish, four French, four Dutch, two Sar dinian, one Hamburgh. one Bremrn, one Portuguese, and one Prussian.—The official Returp of the Gold and Silver coined in our Royal Mint at Mexico, in the year 1820, has been published, which amounts to 10,406,151• dollars." Yesterday, the Princess AUGUSTA dined with the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE. The Princess SOPHIA visited the Duchess of CLA• HENCE yesterday. Yesterday, his MAJESTY, the Duke of YORK, the Duke and Duchess of C L A ft ENCe, and the Princess Au- GUSTA, attended Divine Service at the Chapel Royal. Divine Service was yesterday performed to the KING% Household, at his Palace in Pall-mall, by the Rev. F. W. BLONIBERG and the Rev Dr. STA NIER CLARKE. Yesterday, Prince LEOPOLD attended Divine Ser vice, at St. Phillip's Chapel, Waterloo-place, accom panied by Colonel ADDENDROKE. In consequence of the death of the Earl of CAR HAMPTON, HANS HAMILTON, Esq. M.P. has been ap pointed Custos Rotulorum of the county of Dublin. Friday, THOMAS ASSHE?ON SMITH, jun. Esq. was chosen Member for Andover, in the room of his fa her, who served the office twenty-five years. Mr. COKE'S Birth-day was celebrated last week not only at Holkham, but at Wells, Wvmondham, Loddon, Repeham, and other towns in Norfolk, v. ith great festivity. There are few public or private men whose virtues have excited an interest sufficiently lively, or a regard sufficiently Learty, to excite par tizans or friends enough to mark out the day of their birth for celebration throughout any considerable space of time; when, therefore, such tributes are ob served to be paid year after year, and to augment in numbers, in honour of a plain Country Gentleman, it seems hardly possible for respect to be manifested in a more decisive or more gratifying manner. OPERA HOUSE.—This place of fashionable resort was on Saturday evening very fully attended. We do not remember, on any occasion, to have seen so many distinguished movers in the fashionable world as on Saturday. Before ten o'clock, the Pit was crowded to excess. The attractions , of the evening were La Clemenza di Tito, and the Ballet of Nina. The applause throughout the whole of the Opera was very great, and Madame CAMPORESE and Madame ALBERT were encored in several of those delightful airs in which this Opera abounds. The length of the Opera and the Ballet made it very late before the performances were concluded, it being more than half-past twelve. We observed the Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER, and the Princess SOPHIA of GLOUCE3Tra t in their box. THE KING'SREPORTED VISIT ro 1-IANOVER HANOVER, APRIL so. The preparations which are to be made on account of the arrival of his Majesty the King are carrying on with great diligence. It is conjectured, that be sides the Princes and Pt incesses of the Royal Family, some foreign Princes will accompany his Majesty' According to the latest accounts, however, his Ma jesty will probably not arrive before the end of Au gust. At the beginning of August the army will go into camp about a league from this city, except one regiment, which will remain in garrison at Stade- We hear that during his Majesty's stay here he will hold a Grand Chapter of the Order of the Guelphs. The apartments fitting here for his Majesty, and the furniture, will be in every respect-like those of England. Our army will be much augmented this year by the, second levy, according to the new organization made last year. The Guards in garrison here are to receive three hundred recruits for each regiment in the beginning of May. SCOTTISH CORPORATION. The Spring Festival of this Institution was nume rously and most respectably attended, at the Free masons' Tavern, on Saturday last. His Royal High ness the Duke of CLARENCE, President of the Insti tution, was in the Chair, supported on his right by his Serene Highness the Prince LEOPOLD of SAXE COBURG, and on his left by the Earl of GLASGOW. The Marquis of GRAHAM, Lord SALTOUN, Lord KEITH, Lord REAY, Lord MAYO, and other distin guished personages, were also present. The cloth being removed, " Non nobis Domine" was sung in admirable style by Messrs. TYNE, T. COOKE, CLARKE, &C. The Duke of CLARENCE then rose, and expressed his confidence that it was only necessary for him to give the first toast, " The King," to awaken the en thusiasm of all who heard him; but before doing so, he felt it incumbent upon him to state, that his Ma jesty, out of his Royal munificence, had sent a dona tionof One Hundred Guineas to this most excellent In stitution—(Great applause).—He should simply pro pose " The health of the King." The toast was drank with three times three, and followed by the loudest demonstrations of loyalty, which only seemed occasionally to subside, that they might be renewed with the more enthusiasm. " (Job save the King" was then impressively sung, and called forth a repeated expression of those feelings which had been excited by the toast. The Earl of GLAscsow, in a neat speech, proposed " The health of the Royal Family." He felt assured the virtues of its Illustrious Members were too highly appreciated by a grateful and admiring Nation, to requite anything from him to cause the toast to be received with the warmest feelings of the heart.. The toast was drank with three times three, and the greatest applause. Song—" Hail, Star of Brunswick." The next toast was, " The Duke of York and the Army," with three times three. Sang—" How merrily we live who soldiers le." " The Duke of Clarence and the Navy," with three times three. Song—" Rule, Britannia." The Duke of CLARENCE returned thanks in a most handsome manner. After expatiating upon the ex cellent nature of the Institution, and declaring his own attachment to it, his Royal Highness highly eulogized the character of the people of Scotland. Both the Army and the Navy had been indebted to that country for some of their greatest ornaments— for men who had borne a glorious part in the high achievements which had placed the Empire in its pre sent exalted situation. In now proposing to them the health of an Illustrious Individual, who had been suf. ficieutly long in this country to form an ardent at tachment to its character, and to become a warm friend to this Itiotitution—he meant Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg—he felt certain that he should be meeting the wishes of every one present (Applause). Given with three times three. Tune, Coburg March. Prince LEOPOLD, in returning thanks, expressed the gratification he experienced at the honour done him, and declared that he took the most sincere in terest in the welfare of the Society. The ItovAL CHAInmAN then gave, gg Success to the Scottish Corporation," the merits of which he again warmly eulogized. He believed that there was no stitution which did so much good, or distributed its bounty with a more discriminating hand. He had occasion to know, that by following the example which it set in its mode of management, a similar Institution (that of St. Patrick) had been enabled greatly to enlarge its sphere of usefulness. As far as his Royal Ilighness was himself concerned, the Scot tish Corporation would always find in him an active and zealous friend and supporter. It had the best wishes of his heart. Song—The Thistle of Scotland. Mr. AULD, the worthy Secretary, by desire of the Royal Chairman, now read the Report of the last year's distribution. He began by observing, that this was one of the most ancient chartered Charitable As sociations, not English, in London, having been founded very shortly after the union of the two Crowns, in 1603. During the long period which it had subsisted, it had been the means of administering incalculable benefits to the poorer classes of the Scot tish community in London. Although the object of it is confined to those resident in this metropolis and neighbourhood who have not acquired a parochial settlement, yet the number of those was much greater than was perhaps generally imagined.— Upon an average of the last year, not fewer than 280 of that description of Persons have been relieved every month by the Scottish Hospital; and this bas ex clusive of 95 old and infirm persons, who receive an nual pensions from the Society. A large sum had been also expended in relieving and providing pas sages to Scotland for poor persons desirous of return ing to their native homes, the number of whom had for some years past, owing to the general distress and want of employment, greatly increased. Amongst these, upwards of £1,600 was last year distributed, for which the Managers had to thank a generous and munificent Public. It was the great object of this Society to discourage habitual pauperism, and there fore the amount given to each individual is always proportioned to the real distress which requires e l . aid. He had only to add his hopes that the Society would experience, on this occasion, a renewal of Va . . s ame liberality for which they had so o f ten b efor e had cause to be grateful. The worthy Secretary was heard with much ap. plause, and as soon as he had concluded, liber a l scriptions poured in to him from all- parts of the roo m . " The Duke of MONTROSE, the tried and steady Patron of the Institution," was the next toast float the Chair, and was drank standing, with three times three, and loud and continued cheering. The Pipe r , as soon as he could be heard, struck up " Whar /W e ye been a' day, bonnie Laddie ?" The Marquis of Gammas, a . young Noblem an who 'promises to do honour to his illustrious race, re. turned thanks for the honour so cordially conferred upon his father. The ROYAL CHAIRMAN then gave "The Vice. Presidents of the Society," upon which the gall ant Lord SALTOUN returned thanks in one of the beg. turned short impromptu's we have ever heard, and concluded, as be expressed it, by taxing the gallantry of his countrymen in a bumper to her Royal High. ness the Duchess of CLA RENCE. The name of this amiable and exalted Princess seemed to, give a degree of Measurable feeling t o every person present. The Ladies in the plicies, which for beauty and fashion exceeded and cuing w e have lately seen, rose as if by one accord, and, wai n their handkerchiefs, joined most heartily in the cheer ing. His Royal Highness seemed to feel ths ma l t of attachment most sensibly. In returning thankshe said, he had thanked them from his heart for a mark of favour at their last Meeting ; that he had now enjoyed the society of the Duchess of Cla;en ee for another year, and, if his expressions co d,i le measured by his increased happiness, they mast ie strong indeed ; and he thanked them again and a za i o for the manner in which the Duchess's health aal been received. After some other toasts, his ROYAL HIGIINm again rose, and, in a speech replete with the sounJest p triOtic sentiments, in which he paid some happy com pliments to Scotland and Scotchmen, some of whon, he said, were his oldest as well as his best friends, gave—" The Land of Cakes." Song—Green grow the rushes 0. The ROYAL CHAIRMAN said, they ought not to forget their absent friends, and therefore he should ' propose, " the Marquis of Hastings, in India; and the Earl of Dalhousie, in North Ammica." lie had heard from both those Noblemen, that they were ,making every exertion amongst their countrymen in their respective quarters of the world, to promote the objects of the Scottish Corporation—(Applause). The toast was given with three times three. Song—" Should auld acquaintance be forgot." The Earl of GLASGOW again rose, after a num ber of the regular toasts had been drank, and after expressing how .much their country owed is past, and even in present times, to the ancient and illustrious House of Brunswick, craved permis,ion to give, " Health and prosperity to every Prince of that Royal stem !" This toast was followed by loud and continued cheering, and sufficiently marked how much every heart present beat in unison with the loyal and con• stitutional feelings of the Scottish Peer. Sir 'Thomas Beta., the worthy Treasurer of the In stitution, then enforced, in a very excellent speech, the merits of the Charity and the claims of the dis tressed natives .of Scotland. The company shewed themselves not insensible to the appeals made to them, as, before we left the room, above £BOO had bees collected. The Duke of CLARENCE did not retire till nearthe hour of midnight, and, but for the approach of the Sabbath, we are inclined to think, front the harmony and good fellowship which seemed to prevail, the feast would have been prolonged to a very early hour. We cannot omit remarking the enthusiasm with which " Prosperity to the City of London" was re ceived, and we regret that want of room pmvents our recording the eloquent and patriotic speech of Alderman BRIDGES, who returned thanks for the honour done the great Metropolis. Saturday morning, at half-past ten o'clock, the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE, the Duchess of GLOUCESTER, and the Princess AUGUSTA, attended by Sir B. SPENCER, went on board the Admiraltf barge at Vauxhall-bridge, and proceeded to Green wich, where their Royal Highnesses were received by the Governor; and after viewing the Royal Hos pital, the Chapel, &c. the Royal Party went on board the barge again, and proceeded to Woolwich, where they inspected the Royal yacht lying there. The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE, Princess AUGUSTA, Prince LEOPOLD, the Duchess of Ken and Prince ERNEST HOHENLOII of LANGENBOUISI were of the party on Friday night at Count aid Countess MUNSTER'S, to meet the KING. The Duke of WELLINGTON had been invited, but he sent an ex cuse, in consequence of Marchioness of Woects- TER'S death. After the banquet, there was an eves ing party and a Divertissentent, in the course of which JOLT and LAPORTE, of the French Theatre at the Argyle Rooms, had the honour of acting a Prove* Dramatique before the KING ; with which his MA. JESTY was so well pleased, that he commanded a part of it to be repeated. There were more than three hue dred Personages of rank present. An elopement took place in the neighbourhood of Exeter on Monday last (the 7th instant), which is likely to prove a subject of discussion for the Gentle men of the long robe. The parties are, a Lieutenant in the Navy, and a Lady residing within a few m iles of Exeter ; though young in years, both are married, and both have children. A love attachment v:as early formed between them, but parental authontl prevented the wished-for union; the hand of each was . shortly after differently bestowed, but with which, it seems, the heart did not bear company. The hiss band of the Lady set off on Monday, in a post - cha ise . and four, accompanied by a police officer, in pUI of the fugitives, but no intelligence has been received of their having been overtaken. Thursday a trotting match of eight miles, for a bet of 100 guineas, took place on the road from Glasgow to Dumbarton, between Mr. ATKlNkh's black mare and Mr. Caasc's bay m art, The latter, it will be recollected, beat last match. Mr. Aro> . SON'S mare performed the eight miles in_ 23 minutes and fog seconds, turning once; leaving the bay mare fully a q uarter ors 'mile behind. A great crowd of spectators, on horseback and 0 0 foot, from Gla'now. P.a:tcy 41:3 sus r.tundlnt ctitt4try, meg present. 1 1 1 .~
