LONDON, ;tdcrfpt• LONDAY, MAY S. Three o'Clock, p• ". We have just received the Paris Papers of Thursday last. They are chiefly filed with ae- , c amts of the congratulations of various civil and military authorities offered to the King on Wednes day, being the anniversary of his return to Paris in 1814. The Duke of Angouleme is engaged at present in making a tour of the South of France. His reception at Lyons, it is said, has been very flattering, but private intelligence from Paris affirms, that in passing through one of the principal cities he was exposed to insults from the populace, which the military, drawn out to receive him, were insufficient to restrain. It is even added, that a conflict took place between the populace and the soldiery, which did not terminate without -consi. derable difficulty in their dispersion. The Journal ' des Debar asserts, that a hotel is taken for the reception of the Queen of England in Paris. and " that the difference between her Majesty and her Loyal Husband are to be the subject of a negocia tion, which is to be opened at Versailles." Another account says. that she is expected at Brussels ; and a third states, that her Majesty will certainly arrive .at Calais in the course of this week. Saturday his Majesty held a Council at Carlton- House, which was attended by all the Cabinet Ifinisters in town, when the Coronation was fixed for the ist of next August, and the necessary in-.. struetions were ordered to be promulgated, and a Proclamation is to be issued 'forthwith. The cere mony it is understood will be considerably curtailed, which will be a great saving of expense. The Coronation of his late Majesty lasted upwards of fifteen hours, when several persons who attended in the procession suffered exceedingly from fatigue. — ft is said. that the Coronation of his present Ma jesty will not occupy more than ten hours. The prime of .the ceremony is now preparing at the Heralds' Office. After the Court his Majesty held a chapter of the Order of the Bath, at which Lord Howard of I:lEngbarn was introduced, and received the insignia of a Knight Grand Crow, and Sir H. T. Muntresor those of a Knight Commander. The King afterwards on his throne received the address of the Convocation of the Clergy of the .Province of Canterbury. The King afterwards held a Privy Council, at which Lord Doi,ouglignore was sworn in a Privy Councillor. Yesterday the King attended divine service at the Chapel Royal, St. James's, with his Royal High ness the Duke of Voris, and their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Clarence. The commu nion service was reedby the Bishop of London, as Dean of the chapel. The Bishop of Exeter at tended as clerk of the closet, and also the Key. Dr. Stotler Clarke. The sermon was preached by the Rey. M. Deere. The King of Prussia has presented to the Arch bishop of Canterbury, by the hands of Baron 130. low, a splendid desert and tea service of porcelain. A similar present has been made to Mr. Wilberforce, -and to N. M. Rothselichild, Esq. accompanied . by a complimentary letter from Baron Hardcnburg, in the maw, of his royal muster. The Marvellooss.—During the warm weather n few weeks ago, says an Irish Paper, two boys fell asleep in a ficld in Lincolnshire, whey one of them awallag was horror struck, on seeing a snake creep into tne mouth of the other, who was asleep with his month open. His companion having awoke they retuned liume, when the latter was taken very ill P....wetter were prescribed to destroy the reptile, but tiiey cilect. The boy ate greLdily, but yet l:e fell s astay, and had no sleep at nights • It was at length agreed to take him to Ireland, where no venomous animal can exist, and after being landed at Dtmleury, near Dublin, in a few minutes he got ease, the snake having died, end in the course of the next day he totally got rid of his tcnnentor, hieh had grown to a very large size °!

At the moment when the consideration of the Civil List engages the attention of both Houses of Parlii.ment, the following observations on the subject by so celebrated a writer as Blackstone, cannot fail to produce great interest : •• It is to be considered. that every Prior., in the first Parliament after his aeression, had by lung mole I truly toyed addition to Isis herein's, v revenue settled slam hint for his life ; and has never any occasion to apply to Par liament for supplies. but upon some public nree•sity of the whole realm. This retell es to leini that constitetional iudependeeme, shit+ at his first accession seems, it must be eta teed, to be wanting. And then, wills regard to power, we may find prehaps that the hands of Cluverstinent are at hoist sufficiently strengthened; and that an &oafish Mo narch is now in sin danger of brim( oyes borne by the nobility or the people. The instrument. of power are not, pee haps. so open and avowed as they formerly were, and there tore are She less liable to jealous and lovidious re flections ; but they are out the weaker upon that account. lei sheet, our national debt mud taxes (besides the inconve niences before mentioned) have also in their natural eunsegnences thrown such a weight of power. into the executive smile of Goverament, as ws CORIIOI think seas riarellad by our patriot ancestor', who gloriously struggled for the abolition of the then formidable perm oldie prero gative, and, by an unaccountable want of foresight, esea blished this system in their 'triad. The entire colleetion and management of so vast a revenue, being placed in the hands of the Crown, have given rise to such a multitude of new officers created by and remits obis at the royal plea. siere.that they have extended the influence of Government to every corner of the °alien. Witness the commissioners and the neultiende of dependents sea the customs in every port of the kingdom ; the comm is-loners of excise, sod their numerous subalterns, in every inland district ; the post masters and their sertants planted in every town, and epee easy pehlic road; the eommiulouers of the stamps, and their distributors, which are fall as scattered, and hill as numerous; the Aileen of the salt dusty, which awash a ,specier of tsetse, and conducted la tho same nissister, ere yet mad. a distinct corps from the ordi fiat* imensgers of that sevewes; the soiseyors of houses and wiedowss the receivers of the lewd tax the WM masers lotteries; sad the eesionissioaers of hackney coaches; all of which are either mediately or haw. • snarly appeksted by the Crewo, 1 reve:lWe Alt . **Mrs ',kibosh Way Malabo assigned : the se, it re• :shires bat, little penetration tomust glve Mal power , Ike; depend for sibsistence an influence most tender. To this istay be added the frequent apieet of cooforris sebi t ierip s on bar obligations , by pret‘reare is loam, tickets, remittauces, and ammey trammelled*, which will greatly increase this Intranet 1 and that 41•41 r those persons whose at- Mebane-M. .0s semen{ ti their wealth, is frequently the most desirables AN this Is the natural, though perhaps the adore:wee. miesequesses of erecting our foods of credit, and to support- than; estalslishiag our present perpetual taxes; the whale of which is mu i s oly new since the restoration he lOW ; and by far the greatest part since die Revolution iu 1888. All which put together give the executive power so persuasive an ewers, with respect to the persons themselves, and so prevailing au interest with their friends acid • families, us will amply make amends for external prerogative. " But though this profession of offices should have no effect on individuals, there is still another newly ac quired breech of power; and that is not the influence only, but the force of a disciplined army; pond indeed ulti mately by the people, hat Immediately by the Crown; raised by the Crewe, officered by the Crown, commauded by the Courts. They are kept ou foot it is true. only (cone year to year, and that by the power of Parliament ; but duriug that year they must, by the nature of our coustitutioa, if raised at all, be at the absolute dispose' of the Crow u. And there need bet few words to demonstrate how great a trust is thereby reposed kr the Prince by his people—a trust that i. more than equivalent In a thoesaud ,little troublesome prerogatives. " Add mall this, that besides the eivil.l6l, the immense revenue of almost '1,000,0001. sterling, which is annually Laid to the creditors of the public. or carried to the sinking fund, is brat deposited en tlw soysi exchequer. tied tiseuce nosed out to the rapoctiere offices of payment. Thu revenue the people can sever 'refuse to raise, because it sus made perpetual by Act of Patlinnieutu which also. alien well considered, will appear to be a trust of great delicacy and high imperient e. " Upon the whole, therefore, I think It is clear that. whatever nun have b ecome of the nominal, the real power of the Crawls has sot twee too fur weakened by any traits actions in the keit century.

The same iY.illtbe was gone thr..ugh with the remaining firs prisoner.. Noce of them attempted to eadress the Court except P.estos, who. when told by Mr. Shelton that he ass discharged. o f .tuned an erect posture. and waiving y hand. eichisned -44 My Lord t" in a tone indicative of an intention to indulge the au dience with &patriotic efilision of no ordinary length. He was however rather unceremoniously !topped by Mr. Common Ser. giant. who said. " Come. Sir give us none of lour nonsense you are discharged 4 Marrs. take him away.. Preston ar.d his fellow- • tiers were then con ducted out of Court. sad were immediately liberated. The prisoners, with die exception of Preston. were respectably dressed ; Eirth.in particular. was remarkably well attired, and had the . appearance of a respectable Imitation. They all ap raged in good health. and bore evident marks of kind treatment and good Hying. These men. it will be recollected. were taken into custody im mediately after the Cato Street afair. and bills of indicting were preferred against Hall and George. but were ignored by the Grand Jury. Against the four others no bills were pre ferThsred. Court then proceeded with the regular business of die Sessionw but the trials throughout the day were fur peuy often% not worth reporting.
