A, The Paris Papers of Tuesday arrived this forenoon. The cleat!: in the Chamber of /Deputies, on the Censorship oftlie Press, was tine:pettedly brought to a close on Monday; and, as we anticipated, Ministers have been defeated, by the union of the two extreme parties in the Chamber, both of whom complain of not being allowed to talk freely enough of their op ponents. An Amendment of the Ministerial Project, moved by M. de COURTA RIM, was carried by a strong majority, composed of the right and left, leav ing the Ministers and a part of the centre in the mi nority. According to this Amendment, the Law of the 81st of March, 1820, relative to the publication of the Journals and other periodical Papers, is only to continue to have effect till the and of three months after the opening of the Session of 1821. After some additional dispositions of minor importance, the Chamber passed to the vote on the wlsole Law, as amended, when there appeared — For k it. 112 Majority 102 The Gazette de France contains an anecdote relating 20 BONAPARTE'S death, the permission to insert which is creditable to the policy of the Government. On the day that the news of this event reached Paris, some person meeting General RAPP, said to him -44 Ah, General ! so then your man is dead !" " What man?" " What !do you not know of the death of Bowaraare ?" The General, on hearing these words, seemed much affected, and even tears escaped from his eyes. The KING, aho was informed of the inci dent, having on the same day, in going to Mass, met Count RAPP by the way, deigned to tell him, that far from blaming the sensibility he had shewn, he saw in it a new guarantee of his fidelity. "It is true, Sire," replied the General, " that I felt a strong emotion on learning the death of a man to whom I owe everything—even the happiness of serving your Majesty." An article from Chamberry gives some interesting particulars from Piedmont. It was rumoured the King of SARDINIA would not come to Piedmont, and that a part of the Kingdom was to pass under the direct dominion of Austria. This rumour gave such offence to the Regiment of Savoy, that a plot was formed among the soldiers to disband themselves, and return to their homes with their arms and bag. gage. The plot was defeated, and about sixty men were arrested, and confined in the cidadel. The public discontent, however, was rather increased , particularly by the absolute dominion exercised by the Austrians, even in Alexandria, the bulwark of Piedmont—the keys of which were delivered to King CHARLES Faux in mere mockery. About twenty capital executions were about to take place in pur suance of sentences pronounced by the counter-re volutionary tribunal. At Naples the work of vengeance is also proceed ing with remorseless rigour. The KING has decreed, that " all Officers, of whatever rank, who formed part of the Royal Army, and abandoned their colours to repair to Monte Forte, are degraded from their ranks and military distinctions, and given over to be tried by the competent tribunals." The accounts from Turkey represent the Greek cause in a remarkably promising aspect. YPSILANTI has an army of twenty-five thousand men under his command, and has made head successfully against the Turks in several partial encounters.— His object appears to be to avoid a general engage ment, and gradually train and inure his troops, chiefly composed of youthful enthusiasts, to facility in ma nceuvring, strict discipline, and labour. The Turks, on their side, as stated some days back, were attempt ing to introduce European discipline into their ranks, for the purpose of more advantageously meeting the Greeks. But this appears to be impossible, particularly when the Turkish troops, conscious that all depends aponthern, have almost thrown off all manner of disci pline. But in no circumstances could they be brought to submit to learn European discipline and tactics.— The celebrated Count de Bonaevnt, who became a Mahometan, and undertook the task, with the sanc tion of the Turkish Sovereign, describes, in his Me moirs, how he was obliged to abandon the attempt to organize and discipline the Turkish troops upon the principles of European tactics. In the Morea, the war is carried on partially, but in a manner the most sanguinary and relentless. The Greeks have taken the capital; and two Pachas, who were ad vancing to the relief of the garrisons, have been cut in pieces, with 6,000 men under their command. We perceive no allusion in any of these accounts to Rusiia ; nor had Count STROGONOPP, the Russian Minister, left Constantinople, though it appears that „ the banker DAIIISI, for whose life the Count pledged himself, has been put to death. • French Five per Cents. Monday, 8.5 fr. 85 c. A Dutch Mail' arrived this forenoon with Papers to the 11th July. The following are extracts: FRANKFORT, JULY 5. Accounts from Odessa, of the I Ith June, say that since the 9th fourteen vessels had arrived with fugi tives from Constantinople, who brought the melan choly information that the killing and imprisonment of the Greeks still continued. The fears entertained by the owners of the cargoes of corn which have been detained at Constantinople, have proved un founded : the Turks have paid for the corn at the rate of ten piastres per kislo ; so that the czetwent, which costs at Odessa twenty-two roubles, has been sold at thirty-eight roubles. This unexpected result has im mediately led to further speculations. It was again asserted at Odessa that the Greeks in Moldavia had defeated the Turks before Ibrailow on the 3d of June. TRIESTE, JUNE is. It is affirmed that the Americans, who are at war , with the Barbary States, having heard that the Sultan has given orders to those Powers to send their corsairs to the Archipelago, and fearing that this measure might prove injurious to the American trade, have declared the ports of Algiers and Tripoli in a state of blockade, and have detached a part of their squadron to enforce this detirmination. BRUSSELS, JULY 9. Messrs. Hope and Co. gave notice on the 6th inst. upon the Exchange at Amsterdam, that notwith standing their endeavours, the Finance Committee of the Spanish Cortes, without giving them previous notice, had proposed, in the Sitting of the 28th June, to liquidate the arrears of the interest of the debt duo , to Holland, by means of certificates of the adminis tration of the public credit not bearing interest, and that it is with such certificates that the other Creditors of Spain are paid. They add, that this report, though entirely opposite to the preceding on this important question, was adopted by the Cortes, after a very short discussion. His Excellency Prince Hatxfeldt, Minister of Prussia to our Court, arrived here yesterday, from Spain, and will set out this afternoon for London, to be present at the Coronation of the King of England. We learn from Luxemburg, that the Provincial States of the Grand Duchy have voted Addresses both to the King and to the First Chamber of the State-General, against the new system of taxation. His Majesty, our King, has returned to the Palace of Lacken from a short Visit to Spa, where the King of Prussia is, with his son the Hereditary Prince, and Prince William, the Grand Duke Nicholas of Russia and his consort, and many other Princes. The First Chamber of the States-General is ex , petted to decide, on the 10th, the great question of the rejection or adoption of the new Laws on the Finances. The two Chambers are expected to ad journ in a few days. Many Members of the Second Chamber have already gone home. MUNICH, JUNE :,.7. Between this and the 12th of October the Concor dat will be carried into execution in every point. The buildings necessary for the Archbishops and Chapter have. been already fixed upon. M. de Plaank will soon go to the other cities, where Episcopal Sees are to be established for the same purpose. There will be a separate Church assigned to the Pro testants of this city, who have hitherto attended Di vine Service in the Protestant Chapel of the Court. The Magistrates have assigned for this purpose the Church of St. Saviour's, which has not been used for a long time. SPANISH PENAL CODE. MADRID, JUNE Vt. The draught of the Penal Code, which the Cortes are to sanction, has been printed. This work, though partly copied from the French Code, has not answered the expectations of enlightened men. The preliminary title, which embraces general notions, begins with a classification of infractions of the law, which are di vided into crimes and faults (culpa). But this divi sion is not afterwards perceptible in the course of the work ; so that, besides being inexact, it is useless.— Punishments are divided into corporal, non-corporal, and pecuniary. Ainong them are found—lst, Death, always by strangulation, occasioned by the pressure of an iron collar (cravatte de fer)-2d, Perpetual la bour, with branding-Bd, Transportation-4th, Per petual exile-sth, Public labour-6th, Presidio (the galleys)-7th, Reclusion-Bth, Exposure on the pil lory (tartan)-9th, Exposure during the execution of a sentence of death—lath, Imprisonment in a for tress —llth, Exile from a particular district-12th, Per petual exile from a particular district.—Conspiracy against the Constitutional regime, against the Convo cation of the Cortes, or against the permanent Depu tations, is punished with death. Conspiracy against the life and person of the King, his authority, and his prerogatives, is also punished with death. The same punishment - is applied to those who conspire to establish in Spain any Religion differing from the Catholic, to the chiefs and organizers of rebellions and insurrections, and to voluntary homicides with premeditation (murder). Highway robbery, false coining, arson, and forgery, are not punished with death. Adultery on the part of the wife, is punished by reclusion for as long a period as he husband wishes, provided it does not exceed ten years; her accomplice is to undergo the same punishment, and exile besides. Adultery by the husband is punished , with infamy.—ln general, the Code is sparing of the punishment of death ; but there are puerilities in it, material omissions, useless repetitions, and vary little • exactness in classification and definition. THE CORONATION. Film.mmira.on Loss CIUMBEILLASN'II OVIPICS, Jets 11, The Knights Commanders of dm Order of the Bath will re. cam their 'Mantles, Hats, Spero, Swords, and Belts, at this Odle& cm Monday next, between the hours of Twelve and Three. epee Payment of the Fen, and the production of their respective Letters of lionenoes to attend his Maseser's Coro &ado& It was very generally reported last night, in the City, that the Coronation had been postponed till the 27th inst. There is no truth whatever in the state ment. The ceremony will most certainly take place "on the 19th i • a convincing proof of which may b e witnessed in the number and activity of the work men employed in forwarding the completion of the various works. A magnificent Fete, in honour of the Coronation is to be given at Carlton Palace. The preparations are upon the most extensive scale, and it is the wish of his MAJESTY that it shall exceed in splendour the en tertainment given to the Sovereigns after the Peace. The Public Offices will all be illuminated on the evening of the 19th. THE CHAMPION. —Yesterday afternoon, Mr. DY• moan tried on the suit of armour in which he is to appear before the KING in Westminster Hall. It might be termed a dressed rehearsal ; and Astley's Amphitheatre bad to boast of a select few of the No bility and Gentry who were admitted upon this occa sion to witness the performance of the Champion, The Duchess of ST. ALBAN'S, Lady CAROLINE LAMB, dm being . present. The suit of armour is composed of burnished steel, 'and originally belonged to the proprietor of the Go thic Hall, in Pall-mall. The horse on which the Champion is to ride on the day of the Coronation, is quite familiar to the public eye. It is a handsome, strong, black and white Hanoverian horse, of the name of Cato, an old stager, and long accustomed to the glare of lamps, the sound of trumpets, and the pomp and paraphernalia attached to Processions; and Cato appears to have been most judiciously se lected for this purpose. The Champion is a fine young man, about five feet ten inches in height, and under the tuition of Mr. BLYTHE, the riding-master at Avner% ) has made great progress towards giving eclat to his character at the Coronation. The armour weighs upwards of seventy pounds. The Champion on being dressed mounted his charger with very little assistance, and he immediately rode across the stage. bowing to the Ladies ; he then backed his charger with considerable ease and facility ; and as a proof of the steadiness of Old Cato, on one cf his feet acci dentally touching one of the side scenes which fell down, he remained perfectly quiet. The Champion was without his helmet and plume of feathers ; these latter articles not being quite finished. At the re quest of several of the Ladies, the Champion; in the most gallant manner, appeared in the ride, and trot ted round it several times. Mr. DYMOKE retired for a short.period, and then returned in the old suit of armour which he had been daily rehearsing with, to gratify the sight of the Nobility and Gentry pre sent. Considering it was the first time the Champion rode in the heavy suit of armour, he performed his part with considerable effect. Indeed his appearance altogether was pronounced by the Ladies to be very elegant and in good taste. During the short time Mr. DYMoKE took in putting on the armour, Lady CAROLINE -LAME, after the manner of ancient times, and with all the heroism of the days of chivalry, rode the horse of the Champion across the stage, and de lighted her friends with the ease, elegance, and agi lity her Ladyship displayed in backing this spirited animal.—The Champion, on the morning of the Co ronation, it is said, is to be escorted from his house in Hill-street, Berkeley-square, to his stable in Palace yard, by a troop of the Life Guards. The reigning Duke of SAxE MEININOEN is on his way to this country, to be present at his MAJESTY'S Coronation ; after which his -Serene Highness will spend some time with his sister, the Duchess of CLA• arsce. Lieutenant Erma RD HALL, R.N. left town a few days ago, to meet his Serene Highness at Calais. MANCHESTER, JULY 7.-- . -The natives here had a fine stir during the race week. Wages having been pretty good for some time past, money was plentiful. It is calculated that about £lOO,OOO was spent during the week ! Upon the last race day, about 200,000 persons were calculated to he upon the moor—this calculation was made by some Military Officers, who are best able to calculate such vast assemblies.— There are great preparations making for the ap proaching Coronation day here. We are to have a holiday—the Trades are all to walk in procession, with scarfs, Ste. Twelve oxen and twelve sheep are to be roasted at different stations, and five hundred barrels of ale are ordered to regale the rough heads. The Sunday School children are to walk in proces sion and to return to their different School-rooms, to dine. Twenty-four thousand Coronation medals are making for them—cost 4d. each. There will be a ' Grand Ball in the evening to the Gentlefolks. The whole expense is to be defrayed by voluntary contri bution. It already amounts to £1,500. We understand that the fatigue of travelling by' land has determined his MAJESTY to proceed by sea to Ireland. His MAJESTY wilf, probably, embark at Brighton. The Dukes of Yonx, CLARENCE / and CAMBRIDGE, the Duchess of GLOUCESTER and the Princess Ar- GUSTA i visited the Ktac yesterday, in Pall-Mall.

At five o'clock, the Corps assembled on the Parade in the front of the Artillery House, where s:veral patties of Ladies and Gentlemen were admitted into the gr ound, and at sea the Officers brought the colours front the hou se to the impst as which the Corps was drawn up in a half sink, the drums being p i .W. in the centre.

The Corps then went through their military evolutions, and fired several vollies; they appeared in good order, and p e k e military condition. His Royal Highness the Duke of Glo om , vas was to have attended on the occasion, in the room of his Royal Brother the Duke of Susses, who is Colonel of th e c e „„ . but was prevented by urgent business.

Eztract of a letter from a British Officer, dated Bombay, December 26, 1820: " The fate of the gallant Officers who fell at Laskaie has na. turally been heard of with the utmost sorrow and regret, and the first shock occasioned by the intelligence of a defeat as severe as unexpected having somewhat subsided, the more minute de. tails connected with it have been looked for with much interest and anxiety. - " Out tn:ops were moving in a column of sections, tie; company skirmishing with some Arabs who h a d %hewn them. selves in advance, when the main body of the enemy appe.o . .si suddenly from behind a balk, carrying before them a large 11 7 , which, it Is supposed, must have been mistaken for a flag if truce,, as the line continued to move on in column, the bull. the same dine sounding to cease firing for the light iniantry and artillery. A resolute attack of the enemy on the !link of our column immediately commence& The scrips were, by the (k.

" Captain Price, who appears to bare thought. it hop r k., from the commencement, declined receiving his sword from . _ orderly, and baying discharged his two pistols, stood till he era cut down. Lieutenants Laurie, Perrin, and Walsh were kaki at the head of their respective companies; and Lieutenant Otte was speared in defending his guns. Lieutenant Short, of the 11th Regiment, Acting Line Adjutant, fell, not in the Kew, but when anxiously exerting himself to rally a few men dorkg the retreat. Dr. anxiously was lame in a doolg, and km* been abandoned by his baniels, was killed unresisting. " All the guns with the detachment fell into the hands of the enemy, as well as some hundred stands of arms, a large propos tion of ordnance and commissariat stores of every desmptica, all the private baggage, and about 8,000 dollars in specie. The enemy's party are estimated at 600 men. The exertions of lk Fallon, of the Prince of Wales cruizer, during the retreat. wren conspicuous, and all who witnessed them are unanimous in ass mending hl;gallantry and judgment. " The above account, though short and unsatisfactory, maybe linteresting to the friends of the brave Officers who fell as this melancholy occasion. Many of them have been long known se the Army, respected by it for their eminence in their profeuke, and beloved and esteemed as acquaintances and friends." The West Lothian Yeomanry Cavalry, commanded by 114 gt lIANILTON Dorcas, marched into Linlithgow., on penman duty for six days, ou Monday, the 25th of June, and left pas ten on Monday, the pd of July.
