Voadcript• LONDON, MONDAY, APIUL 5. We have received French Papers to Tuesday last, tLe following is an extract PARIS, APRIL 1. On Tuesday, after mass, the King, seated on his throne, surrounded with the Princes and Princesses of his family, received in public audience the Persian Ambassador. Three of the Royal carriages, drawn by 8 horses, in which were the Dignitaries appoint ed to conduct the ceremony of introduction, proceed ed to his Excellency - a hotel, and accompanied him to the palace. The Ambassador ►was preceded by per sons of his suite, bearing the presents sent by his Sovereign to the King. Regiments of cavalry and infantry were drawn up in the court of the Tuil eries. The Ministers, a considerable number of the Members of both Chambers, the Marshals, nume rous Generals, and various other personages of dis tinction, were assembled in the Hull of Audience. The Marquis Dessolles received his Excellency at the entrance of the gallery Diana, and conducted him to the foot of the throne. The Ambassador sa luted his Majesty ; the King returned his saluta tion, and then covered his head. His Excellency offered us presents, six shawls, a scimitar, which for. merly belonged to Ismael, one of the most valorous Sovereigns of Persia, and a precious stone, affirmed to be a panacea for all complaints. The Ambasss. dor addressed the King, the substance of which was, that " His Sovereign prayed for the continu ance of his dynasty." His Majesty replied, " that he was sensible of his kind ►wishes. and that he thanked the Emperor of Persia for the choice f his Amba►ssarlor.'' After making a profound reverence, which was returned by the King, his Excellency withdrew, his Excellency has sent some very superb cache mixes to Madame the Duchess d'Angouleme, and the Duchess de tern. a e have received accounts from Buenos Ayres to the latter end of December. The markets there arc glutted with European goods, and were likely to re -main so till the opening of Peru. The continued hostilities between Artigas and the Portuguese has considerably increased the difficulty of obta•ning produce for the goods sold. Accounts have been re ceived from Lima of the nit.vements of the Royalists in that (loaner. General Serna, who commanded in Upper Peru, has issued a Proclamation, ordering till loyal Spaniarft to leave their homes, and to re • pair to Oruro where the army was to concentrate itself. The affairs of the Patriots wear so favour ible an aspect, that we believe the number of loyal Spaniards are diminishing dairy, as the time has ar rived when no man should remain neutral i>> the Spanish Colonies. The best informed persons in Buenos Ayres are decidedly of opinion that General Serna's position is not tenable, and that Lord Coe!). rpne, with the Independent squadron, would keep the whole coast on the alert, and by threatening Lima, Arequipa, and Arica, compel the Royalist army to secure its retreat to Lima, by taking a pmi tion on the coast, It was stated that the Viceroy, Pezucla, rendered uneasy by the delay of the Niaria Isabel frigate and her convoy, had ordered the Ven ga and id Esmeralda frigates to proceed to the Soraliward for their protection. If this infinanation siamld prove correct, Lord Cochrane may have an opportunity of intercepting the only two Spanish Ligates remaining in those seas. Saturday the D...1:e of York's Council sat at Wind sor Castle, to hear the monthly It eport of the. King's _physicians. It was attended by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, the Bishop of ',onion, Lords Wincbelsca, Camden, Henley, and St. Helen's, and Sir %%Pinata Grant.

The determination of Lord Hereford to take this step, it appears, had existed previous to the trial; but was hastened by the indelicacy of ren dering it necessary to call his Lordship as a wi•nese to establish the di,honottr of his own sister, by not producing the copies of the Liters sent to Col. Gwynne by Mr. Thynne Gwynne, on the subject of the intercepted letter. The address to tte gentlemen of Cuermarthenehire, alluded to in N:r.

Sir,—l rereuest you to insert the following particulars of a transaction, in your journal. concerning winch the public is probably already partly informed, and I am desirous, having myself acted in the capacity of Lotd lieveford's friend upon the occasion, that no misinterpretation shall go abroad. On the ONtli lest., after having heard the verdict of the jury in the cause of "Gwynne v. Gwynne," I waited upon Col. Gwynne, of (;lan brane-yark, at his lodgings at Hereford, and had a personal interview with him, when I delivered to him a message from Lord Hereford. desiring him immediately to appoint a friend with whom I might confer, and with whom I might fix the time and place for a meeting: I added, in the elainest terms, that Lord Hereford felt, that Col. Gwynne's et:educe had been such towards him and his family, that he was determined to expose him in every . possible way, unless Col. Gwynne consented to give him satisfaction. Although I had addressed, subsequently to this personal interview, two letters that same evening to Cul. Gwynne, I received no satisfactory answer from him, either by word or mouth or by letter; 1 therefore followed Col. Gwynne to Ross, very early on Friday morning, the 26th inst., and found bins at die Swan Inn; there, is the presence of Henry Welling ton. F.sq. of Hay Castle, whom I had the precaution to take with me, Col. Gwynne accepted the challenge, which I repeated to him on behalf of Loed Hereford, and promised to name a friend as his second, by a messenger to me at Aloccas on the following day. On Saturday the reth instant, about mid-day, I received at Moccas, a few lines from Colonel Gwynne, naming Mr. John Michael Gandere, of Llantlovery, as his friend. I went immediately to I.landovery, and on Sum day morning, the Rath instant, waived upon Mr. Good ere, at LI/mei - over) , (having previously made proper arrangements with Lord Hereford, that he should he, at a certain hour, at a cenvenient place in the neighbourhood, waiting for my directions.) At my first interview with ',lr. Goodere, he, protesaing a desire to ace Colonel Gwynne barite time and place fur the meeting could be settled. left me for that purpose, with the assurance that he wale] return to the in two hours. The second interview took place at the stated dine at the Castle inn. Mr. Goodere then delivered to me a letter, written by himself, stating that he had ss advised Col. Gwynne to decline any message from Lord Ilere• ford." I could not check my feelings sufficiently on reading this letter, to prevent the expressing of my opinion with considerable warmth, en the conduct of Colonel Gwynne. and oa the advice which Mr. Goodere admitnd he had given to him: and I read to Mr. Goodere the minutes I had made at Ross, of the conversation I had with ed. Gwyntie t4ien he accepted Lord Ilerethed's challenge. It then became my duty to fillOW to Mr. Good:re an address to the Gentlemen of Caennarthenshire, which Lord Here ford hail previously furnished me with, and which has been I posted in the coffee-room at Brecon, and that of the hotel in ' Ileretiorl. I represented to him, that it was Lord Hereford's intention to make it public by every means in hi, power. I re quested :Mr. Goodere to take a Co., of that address; and lie took a copy in my 'mese:tee. I then stated. the :t I should not be cads. fled without seeing Col. G wynne, in order that I might hear from his own mouth t he approval of the sentiments contained in Mr. Goodere's letter. Mr. Gorelere conducted me to CuL Gwyane. ' whom we met on horseback, in the road to Trecasile Colonel Gwynne having read Mr. (Modems letter tonic, ,rated distinctly, " His scinimente arc mine: I shall act by the advice of my friend." I then requested Mfr. Goodere to produce the copy lie bad made of the aderess from taint Herefonl to the gentlemen m' Caeimerthenshire, and to give it to t 01. Gwynne to read. Colonel Gwynne read that copy in my present., wink I held the original, written and signed by Lord Hereford, open before him in my ' hand. Ilaving stated to Cal. Gwynne that Lord Hereford would make that address public by every means in his power, Colonel t:wenne remarked, that lie had letters which lie could publish, and he would move the Court of King's Bench against laird•lle. retired. I then quitted Col. Gwynne and Mr. J. M. Goodere, but returned in the course of the evening with Lord Hereford to Llandovery, who posted against the Town Hall and the Castle inn door at Llantlovery, two copies of the address to the Gentlemen of Cuerinarthenshire written by himself, with e few explaaatury particulars, subjoine d and written by me. I Sin, Sir, your obedient humble servant, . ..... . CIIARILES CORNEWAI.L. it is very generally rumoured, that Mrs. Th vane (:wynne has swallowed potson,at her residence near Bristol. She is, at all events, in a state of great mental misery ; heightened, no doubt, by the conduct of that person for whom she deserted a man of honour.) On Saturday, Viscount Castlereagh had a nume rous dinner party, after which the noble Viscount went to the Countm of Antrim's in Bruton-street, to be present at the marriage of his brother, Lord Stewart with Ludy Emily Vane Tempest.
