A oba,nge of wind brought on Wednesday, a long arrear of French papers, anti those of 'Tuesday and Wednesday arrived yesterday. The iiecruiticg Law has at length passed the Chain - ber •of Peers. The different Amendments proposed were. got rid of by tho previous question, .and upon a livision on the whole of the law, there were 06 for it, and 74 against it The conferences between the Duke of Wellington, the French Minister for Foreign Affairs,. and the reign Ambassadors resident at Paris, are frequent.—a. A slight indisposition prevented his Grace frein being at the . ICar'g's levee last Monday. It is said that he will Tilt Faris on the 26th, and proceed first to Cam bray, from whence he , will repair to London, befori !te goes to the C0w 1: 7055, Which it is said will be opened on the Ist of August. _ Thr Paris papers say nothing•furtherrespeeting the alarm at the Dukeof Wellington's hotel. It 1: stated, that besides Lord Castleresgii,Abe'Diako d e Rica:is:a will also be present at the Congress of Fw ereigns. The Congrev3, it is still said, will be held . at . Dusseldorf The Emperors of Russia and Austria, and the King's tis4a, after meeting at Vienna, were . expected in p, oceed together to Frankfort, where.resi ileuesz Nyvt: e rdparing fox,tE.:::n. After remaining aam.2' • *. TlTr. NATTfINAT,.II7GTSTM. time there, they go to Dusseliorff. It is said, that, amongst other things, there will be a question before the Congress respecting Conventions oa the subject of European Commerce. Other objects are also to be discussed, which were not fully arranged at the Con gress of Vienna. Accounts film • Sweden mention, that the Ambassa dors from Foreign Courts have been to Court to com pliment the new King upon his accession. Spain seems to be ma►ing great exertions for the pur pose of sending a large navalsand military force to South America. The Russian squadron will be joined by a Spanish squadron which is in complete readiness. The troops are already assembled in Andalusia. The King of Spain has issued a Royal Ordinance in ' favour of Spanish subjects, who, having served in mili tary or civil capacities during the Government of the Usurper, were banished the kingdom by a law of the 30th May, 1814. Many of the restrictions of that law. are now removed, and the exclusion fron► returning: to Spain is limited to those individuals who held superior rank in the cause of the Usurper and Journalists, as their influence, at the present momen:, may be deemed inimical tc public tranquilli!y. The Indemnity Bill was rcad a third time on Friday night, and passed. Several amendments were proposed but most of them rejected. Parliament will adjourn on Thursday neat for the Easter Holidays. The Funds fell on V;Zedneiday, in consequence of large sales on account of Liverpool• Houses. One bro. .ker sold to the. amount of 200,0(X)1. in addition to sup plyirg the , demands of• the commissioners of the Sink •ing Fund. The orders from Liverpool for selling out, were thought to have been occasioned by an apprehension of a rupture between Spain and the United States of America. We arc rather inclined to think, that the true cause will be found to be, the rapidly increasing demand for capital, to be invested is mercantile adven tures from that Fort to India andSauth America. An article from Venice gives the outline of the Con stitution of the lonian Isles, a ratified by the Prince Re„►ent. There is to be a Legislative Assembly chosen by the. Electoral Body, a Senate chosen by the Legis lative Assembly, and the Judges are to be appointed by the Senate. The elections are to be for five years, the Lord Commissioner to have the power of convoking or proroguing the Parliament, .but not of dissolviog it, ex cept by virtue of an order from the Government here. Each isl:rnd.is to have a local government. The domi nant religion to be Greek Church—the language to be Greek. .There is to.be a general printing establishment at Corfu, under the immediate direction of the Senate, and the superintendence of the Secretary General, and no other printiug establishment is to be allowed in any of the islands, without the permission of the Senate, and the approbation of the Lord Commissioner. A third Report has been presented to the House of Commons, by the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the duties, salaries, and emoluments of the seve ral officers, &c. of the Courts of Scotland. It is cola fined to the Sheriff and Commissary Courts, in the constitution of which it recommends a variety of im provements, the must. important of which is, that in place of four Judges in the Commissary Court, at a sa lary of 6001. each, -as at present, there shall be only one Judge, with a salary of from 1,2001. to 1,5001. who shall be bound to devote his exclusive attention to the duties of the office. The following Peers have signed a very strong Pro test against the Indemnity' Bill, drawn up (it is said) by Lord Erskine :—Lords Erskine, Auckland, Vassal Holland, King, Montfinwl • the Earls of Rosslyn, Car =mon, Grosvenor, and L auderdale; and. the-Marquis of Lansdowne. PARIS, MARCH B.—On Sunday night last (the 4th inst..) a fusil having been discharged the Champs Eiysees, behind. tee Duke of Wellington's hotel, the guards instantly went to the sentinel at the bottom of the. garden, • who declared that he had been attacked by several persons who wished to get into the hotel, and that one had ill treated him greatly. The Duke or dered 100 francs to be given to the soldier, •whe, being carried before General Despinois, was forced to confess, after a long interrogatory, that it was all a story, and thatit•was .he ',who fireasoff his gun through fear.— He was forthwith sent to the military prison at Mon taiga. French papers to the 16th are come to hand. ' The Duke of Wellington, who has been slightly indisposed, it; said to have fixed his departure from Paris for the 26th inst. His Grace is evieeted to proeml first to Cam bray; and thence to Limdon, before he repairs to the Conoress•ef the Potentates at Vienna. Prince li t ugene Ikauharnois has @Ai to'Abo.Kier cf }'rums his ho z,:!, situated in the Rue dc for the.sursa: 300,000 francs. 'MARCH 11 COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.. Friday .a Court of Common Council was he for the purpose of receiving the report of the Select Corn mittee, on the order of the: House of Commons, respec tiag the City's income.and expenditure, and other bu siness. A motion was made and agreed to, that Mr. Woodthorpe, jun. should wear the usual dress of the town-clerk. Mr. Dixon had iz kis hand the report of the com mittee, on the order of the House of Commons, on the city expenditure. The order was, that there should be laid before the house a statement of the revenue of the eity of London• for five years, Specifying what related to quit rents, tolls, becuests, &c. royal entertainments, and prison expenses. The order bad been referred to a select .committee, which had met as. soon .as possible; and he should then move that. the report should be read. The report was then read. It stated, that thinking the ,abject of great importance, the committee•had quire(' and obtained the attendance of all the officers of the corporation, except the Common Serjeant, who had been absent on the home circuit. That, having considered the subject, they were vf opinion that an ac count such.as ordered -should be prepared, in order to be presented to the house. He thought it was the wisest way to comply with the report, for, if they did not it would be imagined that there were some reasons for the concealment of their accounts. The worthy gen.. ticman moved, that the Court agreed with tne report, and that it should be referred' back to the Committee to 'Prepare-the accounts accordingly. Mr. Pearson said, be should propose an amendment to the motion, which was e --that the Court were of opinion, that a statement of the annual accounts of the Corporation for five years should be prepared, but tint the Court felt it its dray to present a respectful re monstrance to the Commons house of Parliament against such parts of its order as related tp the account of the receipt and payment of the annual produce, and the .title to the principal of the other property vested in the Corporation, which wns what they could not submit to without an infraction of their. chartered rights. Mr. J. Davies wished the public to be infoymed of the real eircumstastees of the case. •Fle considered the conduct of a MeMber of .the honourable House, with regard to the City expellees, as most improper and il liberal. Was there any. real impropriety discovered ? Was there any fault to find with the City's expences? No man dared to say so. Accounts were required' by the ce•der that were totally irrevalent to the avowed pur pose for which accounts were at all 'required. Sir T.. Bell ;eosin favour of giving an account of all expenditure which .originated in Parliamentary grants. .Mr.' , Waithman said,, that some endeavours were un doubtedly made to produce a schism betaveen the City andvSouthwark ; but he hoped such a thing would not succeed. It was highly tube reprobated to see their im providence, if• ther.bad been improvident at all, which had been exercised in support of government principles, found fault with by the supporters of government them selves. He thought it would be as great an abuse to ask them for their titles to any thing, as to ask the Duke of .Bedford to pioduca the title-deeds of his estate. Mr. Dixon .and Mr. Pearson Implied, -the later at considerable. length ; and, after observations f r om M r . -Alderman Wood, Mr. Alderman 'Atkins, and several other Members, the. Court divided ; when there were— For the Amendment, 4.s—..Against it, 86—Majority 9. After the divition, another Amendment, forthe Select Committee to consider further the orders of the House, and to-take such advice thereon as they should see fit, and to make a further 'Report, was moved and finally agreed to. 'Finney i tchn is alleged to have Jed the two boys, Spicer and• Kelly, into the crime of uttering f)rged Bank notes, was on Friday brought up to Marlborough Street a second time from the, House of Correction, be fore R. Baker, Esq. Sir N. Conant was present, and the examination was secret. Thar Bank Solicitor was not present. The charge against the prisoner was for uttering forged Bank notes, and he was remanded till next Friday. Some tolerable idea, of the iriAng oast of a suit in Chancery, may be found from the following fact.-- There is now for hearing in that court a Bill, the expencee of which for stamps and engrossing alone, amount to the sum of £BOO !! I The Archdeacon of Bath is to have, it is said, de livinh cc Deptfi)td, vacant by the death of the late Rev. Dr.Burney. There•was wrneeting of 'Tea-dealers at the Ind:a House on %Vudesday last, after the Tea-sales, on the subject of the' injurious reports in circulation respect ing the adulteration of tea. After some deliberation, the dealers determined to form a 'Committee, who should act as circumstances required, and, as the first step,. should learn of the Excise to what extent tl;e alultertition of tea hatl «me within their inowledge.
