The Paris Papers of Tuesday and Wednesday last arrived yesterday. They slaw that on Monday a pro ject of law was laid before the Chamber of Deputies, Laving for its object to bestow a pension of 50,000 filmes upon the Doke de Richelieu and his posterity. This pension is to arise lioat a grant of landed property, to be chosen fro:n among the domains asAvied to the Civil List by the law ot' Nov. 8, 1814.. The Marquis Doss()lles introduced the measure with an appropriate speech. He observed, in allusion to the causes which Lad produced their liberation from ibreign armies, that the Sovereigns at Ai:-la-Chapelle, had proclaimed, as one of their principal motives, " the happy effects of the institutions - ' which prevailed in France. Speaking of the Duke, he said, he had deeplayel, during the ne gotiations, " that loyalty, those diplomatic talents, combined with integrity and honour, which inspire confidence, and that modest dignity which obtains respect.". In the same sitting, Baron Louis, the Minister of Finance, submitted a project of law, for fixing the Period, (July lit) at which the financial year should cummence in future. The reasons for this alteration were detailed by the Baron at some length. The great evil which it proposes to abolish is, the necessity of any pravi:donal collection of the revenue, before the bud get for each particular year shall have been voted. The law will commence its operation in July, 1820, and it in enacted by the se:.nnd article, that the budget for 1819 shall comprehend a snpplementary budget of the supply for the first six months of 1820. Tl:ey Lave begun to raal - e prcparations.for the cere mcny of the King's coronation.

The persons corrticti in :be rev.dution which occurre.l some time tuck, it is true, had not been brought b.tck to trial. We yesterday received Charleston Papers to the 16th, ant Savannah Journals to the 18th alts cc:naiad, 14 Gun. Juliann and kis Court Martial to wards our unfortunate countrymen, Arbuthnot and A•uhrister, conetitittes a prominent feature iu all the prpers of tile Union, and we must in justice add, that not one of them ventures to justify it. Even the Natimal Latelkmucer gm.s 00 further than to quibble upon the subject, afraid, appareilOy to condemn, and yet ashamed to approve. These Pipers annum an account of a discovery made in the Mississippi territory, ofan ancient Cemetry, which indicates tide csistea..e, at stun.: remote period, of a race of pigmies who inhabited that district. Thursday night was published a supplement to the Londm Get:rile of the 1•lth instant, centaiaing ex tracts of deepatches from Lord liestiugs, with others from subordinate Officers emPloyed on service through out the Peninsula of Indiie neat of the three Pre sidencies holding direct conenueicatien with the Last House, and all being frequently anticipated by private letters, the same intelligence is thus repeated flout several distinct sources, though muter newly similar forms ; and in alluding to the transaetions detailed in one Gazette, we have little more to do than to remind our readers of facts whi:h were submitte l to them through the saute official organ many months betbre. This is pretty much the case in the present instance, with the exception, that we find in it a few of the more minute zircuinatances of those events with the outline and general character of Which the public are already neeptainted. In the extract from the despatches of the Marquis of Hastings, Sir J. Malcolm receives credit Ihr the highest skill and ability, and subse coma moderation of his conduct towards Bajee Row. The troops remaining with this Chieftain were, on the route towurds Gwelier, so entirely surrounded, tha advance and retreat were equally impossible : resistance to the combined foice of Sir J. Malcolm and General Doveten was an expedient no less desperate than the effort to escape . so that the ex-Peishwa had no alter native but that of unquelifiel submission ; and the terms imposed upon him were, that he should reside in the city of Bemuses as 'a private individual, with an income suited to a person of high birth, but without any other pretenSions. The reports from Colonel MtDowcll, of the siege of Mulligaum, and of the ultimate surrender of that fortress, will be read with considerable interest ; the admiration excite.] by the bravery of our troops being checkered wit► deep re _r& for the loss of so many valuable lives as were un avoidably sacrificed in the course of that difficult ser vice. The public are already informed, that the cap ture of the fort of Moolheir terminated the war .in the dominions of the conquered Peishwa. The Gazette concludes with an amount of a gallant and successful action, on the part of Brigadier Gen , sal Hardyman at • the head of the 17th IlAtish infantry and the Bth regiment of native horse, against a numerous body of the Nagpore Rajah's troops, in the vicinity of Jubbul pore. After a short conflict, the enemy were beaten with considerable slaughter, and all the guns in their possession taken. The immediate occupation of Jub bulpore, together with its stores and cannon, was the consequence of the above exploit. The novelty presented itself on Thursday of Parlia ment being opened in the absence of the Lord Chan ' cellar, who, in consequence of the continuance of in disposition, was unable to attend. The Lord Chief Baron, however, not being a Peer of Parliament, can neither speak nor vote, and he was obliged, .on the entrance of the Lords Commissioners, to leave his place on the Woolsack, and stand behind the Prince's chair, on the right hand of the throne. If' we are not mistaken, he is the first commoner, since the reign of George I. who has acted as Speaker of the House of Lords. Iu the tenth pear of that reign, Lord Chief Justice King presided at the trial of the lord Chan cellor, the Earl of Macclesfield, fur extortion and corrupt practices. The opinion appears to have been erroneous, that new writs might be moved imme diately niter the appointment of the Speaker. it seems that fourteen days must elapse (the time allowed fhr preseuting petitions against returns) before new writs can be move) fin•. Mr, Brougham is expected to move the new writ to replace the lamented Sir Samuel lb °. CITY BL'3lAASiti.• Monday being Plough Monday, the Lord Mayo r summit:to:l a Court of Alder:wit, im.mrding to attel::!4t cust..w..), to rice;,..: the prosentutents of the Iwoests of the several Wards t F the City ; when rather a - ntwe! circumstance took place. On the lnitiest of Walbrook 'Ward, over whi.).l the lelrd Mayor rn:::.ides, being callud in, Mr. A.derman Walthman presented a Teti. that, signed 611/1/01.3 and Mr. Smith, two re. spectabre inlrshituats el that %Vara, manias:sing of par. till. 4114 COSKILICt an the part of his Lordship, at the Wardmote held on St. Thomas's Day lust, fur the election of eight discreet and proper persons to re.* present the said Ward in Common Council, statiq ro that one of the said Petitionere proposed another Ca. - &date, and intended to have proodsed tour others; but that his Lordship called upost the Candidate proposed, to know whether he wished to be put in nomination; tint the Candidate sail he had no such design ; whir;. upon the Lord Mayo; refused to put hint in nominatiOn. That the Petitimiers contended his Lordship had put no such questions to any initur Candidate, nor wits it his duty. That they tivin persisted in nominating the said person as a Candidate, contending, that the otli ‘e was a compulsory ime, and us he hid been regularly proposed and reconded a his Lordship hail no authority to rejcet him. The Petition father stated, that tats in particular of the pers.ms returned, '.r.ts not Juiv qualified, tar rea , ..as there stated ; contended, that the whole proceedings were irregular and illegal, that the election was theeethre void. and concluded with praying, that a new election should be made, nod that they might he heard by themselves, their Counsel, S.). liciturs, and Agents, and to adduce evidence to prove the allegations contained in their Petitiuni. Mr. Alderman Wnithman moved that the said Peti tion be taken into consideration ut the next Court of Aldermen, and that notice thereof shall be given to the Mr. Gibbons, one of the Petitiiners, desired to know whether the business would be takeit into consislerutivu ut the next Court, and whether they should have notice, to prevent his being ut the expenee of Counsel and witnesses. at an uncertainty. _ The Lord Mayor replied, all he could say was, thlt it would be laid before the next Court, and he s,tuuld think that sullicient notice. Mr. Alderman Waithman observed, Chit the Petition was of a very serious nature ; it complaitied of the vio lation 01 the rights of election. If the allegations were true, the Ward would be unrepresented, or rather, what was worse, misrepresented; thr how cmild the Corporation act under such circumstances, fur toe same thing might happen to several Wards? It was at length agreed that the Petition should 1)e taken into consideratien at the ttaxt Court, and that the parties should have notice thereof. THE D1t.4M.1. DRURY LANE Wednesday night Mr. Kean made his appearance is the character of . Brides, after the absence of a few weeks. The audience, which was fir more nu►ucnnu than select, were so - impatient for his entrance, that Sextus and Bruns nuquinius, who precede him a kw minutes, were completely silenced. Oa his approach, clamours of applause commenced, which lasted, without intermission, for some time after he appeared. He went through the character with his usual BRIGHTON. Jan.
