We have received the Paris Papers of Wednesday last. The following are extracts: PARIS, MAY s. This day the Count de Pralorme presented to the King at a private audience-Ist. Letter from the King of Sardinia, Charles Felix, on his accession to the Throne; 2d. Letters from that Sovereign accre diting Count Pralorme as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of France. TURIN, APRIL 30. The accession of the King, Charles Felix, is now oiScially known. The Lieutenant-General, Cheva lier Tbaon de Revel Count de Prolong°, has sent, by the express'orders of the King, Charles Felix, to the Royal Senates, to the Chaaber of Accounts, and to all the so2erior Magistracy whose duty it is to register the Royal acts, both the act of abdication of King Victor Emmanuel, of the 13th of March, and the act confirming this abdication, given at Nice on the 9th of .* , ril last.—[As our Readers are already acquainted with the first act, which is in the Star of the 22d of March, we shall give only the seconcrj. " VICTOR EMMANUEL. ' " From the Ent moment that the abdication made by us on the 13th of March last, was known to our illustrious brother the bake of Genevois, on whom, by virtue of this act, the Crown and the Sovereignty of our States bare devolved, he ha con stantly manifested to us his ardent desire to see us resume the reins of Government, as well on account of the great attach ment which he bears us, as became he considered as null and compulsory an act issued in deplorable circumstances. " But, persuaded as we are that the great qualities of oar Bro ther cannot fail to ensure the felicity of the people whom Dims rat:7llll•4,Z has confided to our Government; moved, besides, by the causes po'...ted out in our first act, namely, the weak nen of our health, which had long since suggested to us the pro ject of quitting the Throne, a project which we had the firm in tention of carrying into execution as soon as we should have ter minated some affairs of high importance—a project in which we are confirmed by the actual state of affairs, which demands still more assiduity and application—we have resolved, of our own free-will, to confirm by this act subscribed by us, and counter signed by our order, by our Cousin the Marquis de St. Marsan, Minister of State, the abdication which we made by the act of the 13th of March, on the conditions expressed in the said act, namely. earnestly requesting our very dear brother, the Duke de Gencrois, to assume the reins of the Government, and the title of King, in order to increase the felicity of his people. (Signed) " VICTOR EMMANUF.L. ge Gives at Nice, April 9, 1831." This act is likewise countersigned by five of the Procurators-General and other Magistrates who coun tersigned the act of the 13th of March, namely, Fal letti, Fulcheri, Coste, De Raburent, and Amat. VIENNA, APRIL 29. (By Express.)—The Austrian Observer contains the following article : " ELLA NCE.-Most of the ,Journa: , sprak of great negotiations which are on foot between Russia and France. This news has no more foundation than the victories of the Carbonari of Naples. Both these reports have been circulated merely with a view to keep people's minds in a state of alarm, from which the transition to disorder is but too easy. “ There is not a word of truth either in what re spects those conferences, or relatively to their object, which has been but very slightly touched upon hitherto. Count Nessehode has not been at Paris for a single instant: His Excellency has never quitted Laybach. The High Chamberlain, Count Narischkin, has never been employed in diplomatic affairs, and has gone to Palis merely for his pleasure. Count Terronayes, the Minister of France, has taken advan tage for the purpose of going to pass some days in this capital, of the last moments of the stay of the Emperor Alexander in her States. He has received the character of Ambassador because the same cha racter had been conferred on Count Pozzo di Borgo, and on Count Vincent, the Austrian Minister at Paris, when they were called upon to attend the King of Naples in this quality on his return to his dominions. —No demand relative to the entrance or passage ofl foreign troops has ever been made to France. Such is the strict truth ; the contrary is mere invention, and might be placed in the class of fables, as well as all the inferences which have been drawn from it." French 5 per Cents. Bth May, 83f. 45c. We understand that the 12th of July is the day now fixed for the Coronation. Yesterday the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE dined with Count and Countess MUNSTER, to meet his MAJESTY. _ _ • Thursday the Duchess of KENT dined with Prince LEOPoLD. There were present, Viscount and Viseounteu Clive Baron Just *(the Sauce Mi nister), the Duke and Duchess viNorthumberland, Sir W. W. Wynn and Lady, the blarquis of Buckingham, the Earl and Countess of Alaccksfield. From an Account laid before the House of Com mons of the Annual Charge of the Public Debt created since 1810, it appears, that there has been a total deficiency in the produce of the several Du ties, &c. granted for defraying the same, to the sth of January, 1821, of £5,092,997. 15s. 11f.i. Ninety-seven thousand pounds, in one pound notes, Was the sum brought to the Bank on Tuesday last, to be exchanged for sovereigns. ....-..,....4. tORV COCHIL4NE. The following is an extract from a private letter from Lord COCHRANE to the &TRINE DIRECTOR, containing an account of the capture of the Esme valda, Spanish frigate: " Ship O'Higgins. Port of Ancon, Nov. 19. 6, The speedy departure of the French brig Tele graph, does not allow me time to communicate offi cially to the Government what I have now to inform your Excellency of. On the sth inst. I embarked a part olthe sailors and marines of my ships, the Lautario and Independencia, in the boats of their respective vessels, and boarded the Spanish frigate Esmeralda, and took her off, after a spirited.resistance, in which we lost 15 killed, and' about 50 wounded. The loss of the enemy is the Admiral's flag, which was hoisted, a large number of killed and wounded, and, in pri soners, all the Officers (three of whom were wounded), the Ex-Commander and Lieutenant of the frigate Prueba, who were on board, together with 174 of the crew. We also took a gun-boat, with fourteen men. Many of the crew of the Esmeralda jumped over board, and perished. I received' a wound in my thigh from a musket-ball, but not serious. The fri gates Prueba and Venganza were out of port: al though we have net been able to obtain any exact information as to their destination, I have still hopes of meeting them, and completing the destruction of the enemy's force in these seas." THE DUNE OF DEVONSHIRES BALL. Thursday evening, at Devonshire House, a, fete of the first description was given. The following apart ments were thrown open at eleven o'clock, viz. 13t, the red drawing-room; 2J, the yellow drawing room ; 3d, the green drawing-room ; 4th, the fawn drawing-room ; sth, the small dining-room ; 6th, the Duke's sitting-room; 7th, the billiard-room; Bth, the salorm; 9th, the great dining-room ; 10th, the small library; 11th, the grand library. All these noble apartments, with coved ceilings, enriched with sculp ture and gilding, were lighted up with the purest wax candles, placed in chandeliers of cut glass and or-atolu. The company did not begin to muster till half-past eleven o'clock ; at midnight, it - was a brit; Rant scene indeed. At that hour had arrived almost the whole of the party invited to meet the KING at the residence of the Russian Ambassador; they were all fuU dressed, in compliment to Royalty—the Gen tlemen in full court-dresses, and the Ladies with their' plumes of feathers and diamonds. The Noble Host himself came with the Count and Countess LIEVEN. The dancing commenced in the great saloon. Qua drilles, waltzes, and other German, French, and Spa nish dances, were introduced. The Duke of Dlxox sante opened the Ball with MARY —ART STANLEY. About six sets of quadrille dancers, and a like num ber of waltzers were moving at the same time. There were present about 400 persons.

We are sorry to state, that the death of the Mar chioness of WORCESTER is reported this morning. Yesterday, his MAJESTY conferred a similar honour upon Count and Countess MUNSTER, to chit which he did on the Russian Ambassador and his Lady, the Countess Liavew, on Thursday, by standing godfather to their infant son, for which purpose his MAJESTY left his Palace in Pall-Mall, at half-past six o'clock last evening, for the residence of ttle Count and Countess MUNSTER, in Grosvenor-place, attended by Sir BEN JAMIN BLOOMFIELD. The KING was dressed in a Field-Marshal's uniform, and wore his full Hanove rian Orders, as King of HANOVER, in compliment -to Count MUNSTER, who is the Hanoverian Minister. Yesterday, the Duke of YORE transacted military business with the Klxo. The Duchess of GLOUCESTER visited the Princess AUGUSTA yesterday. The Royal Sisters afterwards rode out together in a carriage. COVENT-GARDZN.—The Comedy of the Provoked Husband was last night performed at this Theatre with great success. Miss DANCE was the - represen tative of Lady Townley, in which part she appeared. to most unexpected advantage. It was her first at tempt at Comedy; and it is but justice to say, that' though Tragedy is more properly her.fo7te, she ac quitted herself with all that ease and elegance of accomplished fashionable life which are the prime ' , essential requisites of the character. In the con cluding interesting scene with Lord Townley, she was affectingly fine and remarkably happy. Mr. C. KituaLE supported, in the very first style of dignity and interest, the noble character of Townley; and the Play altogether went off with infinite eritt, and most merited success. THE ARMY. From a Return from the War Office, it appears that the total number of Officers on half-pay in Great Britain and Ireland amounts to 9037, the charge for whom on the country is 1.12,557.75. 9fd.

USURY LAIVS. Friday se'nnight, pursuant to a Requisition, a numerous and very respectable Meeting of the Mer chants and other Inhabitants of Belfast was held in the Exchange-rooms. THOMAS VERNER, Esq. Sove reign, in the Chair. Mr. J. S. FERGUSON moved that a Committee of five Gentlemen should be appointed for the purpose of drawing up a Petition to the House of Commons against the repeal of the Usury Laws. The motion was seconded by Mr. JOSEPH STEVENSON. Mr. LAWLESS opposed the motion, and argued at some length in favour of the repeal of the present laws against Usury. Mr.-JOHN BARNETT and Sir STEPHEN MAY sup ported the motion, which was carried, and a Com mittee appointed, consisting of the following Gentle men : the SovvitEtoN, Sir S. MAY, Mr. J. S. FER GUSON, Mr. STEVENSON, and Mr. BARNETT. These Gentlemen having accordingly prepared a Petition, it was read and adopted by the Meeting. The Gentlemen who supported the motion dwelt on the danger and impolicy of repealing a law framed by the wisdom of our ancestors, and under which the country had long prospered, which imposed a salu tary check on the rapacious usurer, and the repeal of which was fraught with ruin to the aristocracy, the agriculturist, and the merchant. It was contended, on the other hand, that the evils of such a repeal were only visionary ; that the pre sent law was incompetent for preventing tht most destructive kinds of usury ; and that by its repeal a wider field would be opened to the money market ; ' the practices of unprincipled money-lenders would be counteracted by the competition of honourable dealers ; and that the law itself was inconsistent with the spirit of our free Constitution. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. The new Room, which was fitted up on the occa sion of his MomTv's visit to this Theatre on Wed -1 ne,day, was last evening thrown open by the Pro prietor to a select party of his friends, on which oc casion it was illuminated in the same manner, and in every respect fitted up in the same way, as when his MAJESTY visited the Theatre. The Room, which is always called the king's Room, is of itself an object of admiration, being of the same pure and elegant style with the grand entrance of the Theatre and the Rotunda, which has only to be seen to be admired. The chandelier, which has been put up for this oc casion, is intended by Mr. ELLISTON for his new Rooms at Leamington, and is, without exception, the most magnificent one which we have ever seen. The effect produced by the reflection of the chandelier ita pier glasses on the opposite sides of the Room, which have been put up for the occasion, was very grand. The candalebras and other ornaments, with the ele gant new gilt lamps, produced an effect which can not be described. The property in the Room is valued at £2,000, the price of the chandelier alone being seven hundred guineas. Upon the whole, the fittings up reflect the highest credit on the Proprie tor, and we trust that the liberality which he has shewn on this occasion,' as well as on every other when an opportunity is afforded for it, will not go unrewarded: The Haymarket Theatre is to be stuccoed, and a fine portico erected over the principal entrances to the House, which is much loftier, and, of course, cooler than the old one.

He kept on the whole time when he was four milestrou home, and lost the match. MATCH To WALK TWELVE MILES IN TWO HOURS. This was a match fur lc° guineas, for Mr. Was; the Poles.

The 19th ult. as Mr. JOHN TAINSIf, writer in Crief, was returning home in his gig, his horse suddenly stopped, and caused the gig to jolt, whereby Mr. TAINSII was driven against one of the pannels. He was hurt severely in the side, and with difficulty eat home. An inflammation unhappily ensued, and he died on Saturday morning. Mr. TAINSH was the heaviest man in Perthshire, it is supposed. Twenty-five Dutch soldiers who were confined is the Main Guard, Dock, Plymouth, for mutiny 01 board a transport bound for Batavia, attempted to make their escape, by removing part of the roof, but were detected by the sentinel on duty. No leas than four highway robberies were commit ted on Saturday evening last, within two hours, and within two miles of Boston, in Lincolnshire.
