I.ON I)ON : ieNDAY, NARCI: 16, 1619. The Paris Papers of Saturday arrived yesterday. Their contents are important. They prepare us for Angular and extraordinary events. The Mani tear contains nt last the Royal Ordinance, adding 59 new Members to the Chamber of Peers. The list of these personages is certainly a great political curiosity. It will excite astonishment, not only in France, but throughout Europe, which will still be increased when the catalogue of Exiles is pub. lished, who are to be recalled. It is strange to perceive the persons whom it has been found tie. cessary to select, to rally round the throne of the Bourbons. The Ultra-Royalists, by their opposi tion to the measures of Ministers, have induced the latter to strengthen themselves by the accts. siun of Bonapartists, nod others, who were I.nowo to have been the King's friends. The experiment is hazardous—it mutt, in our opinion, be destri:c, live to the projects of the Ultra-Royalists, whose party is considerable in France, and we shall nut be surprised if a Revolution ultimately ensues, but without any effusion of blood.---The peace of Eu rope at this moment •is likely to be disturbed, if the Powers of Europe should have the folly again so interfere-in the interior arrangements of Frauve.

The Chamber of Peers did not meet on Monday, and the sitting of Ile Deputies does not furnish a single topic for ob. ervation. The King held a Court for ladies as well As gentlemen on Monday, and the attendance was very numerous. A great number of Peers were present, among whom were Count Daru, Count Deka'', Count Graffullie, and Count de Sussy, part of the last list of promotions. The Duke and Duchess of Angouleme were at the ladies' party in the evening. The Duke of Richelieu arrived at Nlontpellier on the 27th. The Persian Ambassador, vo Lis way to London, reached Paris on Monday. The German papers encourage a belief, that the Assembly of the States of Hanover will speedily amume a more important and effective form. A new Parliamentary Constitution, report says, is to be submitted to the States for discussion : of which the principal characteristics are—that it is to he common to the whole kingdom, and that it is to di vide the Assembly into two Chambers. At thei r head will be placed an hereditary Marshal of the kingdom ; but his powers and functions are not yet fully designated. A lamentable deficiency appears in the public revenues of Hanover ; owing, it is affirmed, to an augmentation of the expenditure since the return of the legitimate government, as compare,' with its amount .before the conquest by Bonaparte. A strong and rational wish prevails, therefore, that a correct statement of receipts and expenses may be regularly published on the part of government ; and, indeed, it seems inseparable from the very idea of a just system of taxation, that the people who find the money should be satisfied how it goes. Their Majesties the Emperor and Empress of Austria arrived in safety at Venice on the 18th ult. The greater portion of the diplomatic body, inclu ding the Ambassador of England, France, Russia, and Prussia, attend the Imperial Court in its visit to 1 tis!y LAsT NIGI11"8 GAZETTE. • BANKRUPTCY SUPERSEDED.

" fienna, Feb. 23.—The elevation of Baron de Stunner, one of the most respectable veterans of A u.,t rian diplomacy, to the post of Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, has given very general satis faction." Extract of a private Letter addressed le a Merchant al Caen, dated St. Louis (Senegal), Jan. 19. " A great number of ships have arrived here from Europe, and several others are expected, exclu sive of those forming the expedition. The colony is encumbered with merchandise, and nothing is selling. " The arrival of the expedition is anxiously look ed for, to see what course things will take. It is hoped, that the projects of Government will open fresh resources to trade. Some millions of pounds of cotton have been shipped for exportation. It is very fine, and from its amelioration by the care of its cultivation, it perhaps cannot lie excelled. It is worth 45 sob a pound when shredded ; but this new branch of industry wants encouragement, and I do not perceive that any thing has been done to promote this. We find here cotton of a nankeen colour, which grows, like the other, without culti vation, and which may be advantageously used in our manufactures. " Our Galena expedition has not been attended with all the success which we anticipated. It left this on the 17th August, 1818, to the number of nine vessels, under convoy of three Royal brigs of %ear ; they were three months in proceeding up the river, about 300 leagues. The navigation is dan gerous, because it must be attempted during the hottest and worst part of the season. This flotilla, with the exception of the Argus Royal brig, and a merchant vessel, destined to pass the year at Galam, returned about the middle of December, They effected nothing, except bringing away some grains. The most grievous part is, that all the Europeans, to the number of 30, were taken sick, and i 5 of theta died. Fears are entertained for those who re main. An express, just received, announces the death of the Governor, M. Chatellux, Geographical Engineer, " The English expedition under Major Grey, which set off last year from Gambia to explore the Niger, has been detained at Galam by the rains which prevail during the months of August, Sep tember, tunl October, and also by other unforeseen obstacles. However this may be, it is now unit e d to our's, which is not established at the ancient fort St. Joseph, but a few leagues below the river Fa• leme. " Major Grey dispatched Adrian Partaricux, a mulatto, of St. Louis, attached to his suite, to bring him a supply of men and effects from Gambia; they will join him by land—the journey is 21 days. A s English Officer has arrived with an escort of Elacl,s at Sego, where Major Grey is desirous of construct. ing a galliot, with which he purposes to ascertain tic course of the Niger." A Flanders mail has just arrived. The following is an extract : " Brussels, March 6.—M. Regnault de St. Jean d'An gely has received permission to return to his nati,e country. Yesterday, he left this city, to proceed to Paris. We learn from Paris, that M. Maret, Duke of Bassano, has also been authorized to return to Paris M. Doulect de Ponticoulant, whom the King or France has recalled to the Chamber of Peers, from which he was excluded by the ordinance of the 24th of July, was for fire years Prefect of the department of the Dyle, and will be ever remembered, to his honour, at Brussels. Ills administration was also just and equitable; and if he did not do all the good that he desired, it was because it was not in his power." Near twenty waggons, loaded with the print s property of the late Queen, have arrived at Buck ingham House, from %incisor. The House of Lords will now Pit for three days in each week, from ten till four, to hear Appeals and Writs of Error, in which the arrear is still very great, notwithstanding the appointment of the Vice- Chancellor. On Tuesday morning, between four and five o'clvrk, a fire broke out in the bed-room occupied by the It. Mr. Ilazell, No. 4, Stanhope-place, Bath, in e.,,ii•.- ctence of the clothes falling upon a ruslidatitern, too near the bedstead; the flames spread so rapidly, M.,: Mrs. Hazen escaped u ith difficulty ; and herow t,...', %%Ito is aged and paralytic, was so dreadfully Lux , kI“L Ire lingered a short time in the tcreatest agonics, a:.,1 oired.
