Votts'crtpt- LONDDN, MONDAY, MARCH 17. Three o'clock, p. mt. The Paris Papers of Saturday lust were received this morning by express, of which the following are extracts:— NUM, MARCH I.s.—The Duke d'Angouleme set out this morning for the army. His Royal Highness left the palace of the Tuileries about nine o'clock, ' after breakfasting with his Majesty. He proceeds first to Perpignan, and thence along the line of the Pyrenees, and the different divisions of the army, to Bayonne. A small number of persons assembled to witness his departure, but no particular feeling was manifested. His Royal Highness and suite occupied two carriages: his servants and baggage had been stint away some days ago.. Several citiaens of Rouen, members of the na tional guard al that city; have addressed a letter of congratulation to M. Mercier, for his conduct on the 4th. A subscription is raising to purchase some testi int:nisi of respect inal admiration fur the conduct of M. Nlanuel. A courier arrived last night from Madrid, bring. ing papers and letters to the 6th inst. The King, the Court, and the Government, are to leave Ma drid about the 10th, and to fix their reL.dence at Seville, Badajoz was at first mentidned, but the choice was changed from 13adisjoz to Seville to meet the wishes of his Majesty, who preferred the latter city. In the mean time, his Majesty is said to suffer from an attack of the gout. With every delicate attention to the-state of the Royal health, but per. lisps at-the-same time with some suspicion that the malady might be more of a political than of a phy sical kind, physicians were on the sth appointed to visit his Majesty, and to report their opinion on his ability to undertake the journey without inconve nience.and without danger. In France the Government seems eager for im mediate hostilities, but their preparations are not in proportion to their zeal. A report on the state of the army is said to have been transmitted by a Ge. neral' Officer to the Duke d'Angouleme, and by him laid-befiire the Council of Ministers, which, if it has not damped 'the ardour of the crusaders, has at least occasioned them some misgivings. This report states that the army is not prepared for immediate opera tions, either by its numbers, usaterid, or its spirit. The utmost number of troops as yet assembled on the frontier does mot exceed 35,000 men. The first division cannot be in line at the beginning of April. Nu wonder that the Duke d'Angouleme should still be opposed to the war. A bon mot is current con cerning his Royal Highness, whip,' supposes his re luctance, and states its reason—" Le Dec d'Angou lemc est contre la guerre, parceque it doil y alter; et le Comte d'Arlois eat pour la guerre, parccque it fey vet pas." A 'curious document has just been published, by order of the House of Commons. .It is an account of 'the stuns of money given or bequeathed by indi viduals towards the reduction of the national debt up to the sth of 'January, 1823.

They departed with it on their return home at five o'clock -.- At Chelsea-reach the pug fell over-board ; Miss Logan endeavoured to pulls into the boat, when unfortunately she over-reached herself, and falling over board herself, immediately sunk ; Mr. Molus being an excellent swim mer, instantly pulled otf his coat and plunged after her; it was in the middle of the current, and she was in stantly swept away; he at length discovered her a con siderable•distancevif, but before he could reach her she sunk again to beseetuno more alive. A bargeman at some distance off was the only person who bad witnessed the accident, but he could render no assistance, and Mr. Molus bi-ing very much exhausted, was obliged to return to the bolt to Miss Patterson, who remained in the most frantic and disconso!ate state MATCH TO EXETER AND BACK...—.Mr. Vivian, an - - - officer in the army, completed his task of performing 65 miles a day on foot front London to Exeter and back on Sunday morning. The pedestrian was toaccomphsh the tii miles a du!, and as much over us he liked. He reached the village of Down, near Andover, at eivht o'clock on the ewening of the first day, and started again at twilre o'clock. The pedestrian travelled to Salisbury before breakfast, nearly twenty miles on the second day. took a repast six miles from hilatidiord, and coy. red his ground at [lie second day within two miles of Brolport.

Oil &nod ly last, the following extraordinary fraud was practised at the Foley-hill public house, near Alai denhead. A wayfaring traveller arrived, and remained some time, taking refreshment. After a short time, another matt made his appearance, but there was no recognition between them. A farmer of the neighbour hood snout vier rode up upon a smart pony. Ooe of the travellers became in love with it, and otiered fur it a si. note and his watch. The oiler was at length accepted, and the 1116111 look posse-sign of his pone. Some little time after the f inner became suspicious Of the genuine. ness of the note, and posted away to Maidenhead, to ascertain if at were good. In the intetim the pUrelljlef of the pony rode away. The cheat was soon discovered; the 'towards a forgery. Upon the farmer's return, the tarveller who remained at the public house, compas summing his misfortune, offered to pursue and bring back the rogue if he could be provided with a horse.
