LONDON: - - SUNDAY, JANU4RY 17, 1819. The Paris Papers of Tuesday and Wednesday last arrived yesterday. They state that on Monday a pro ject .of law was laid before the Chamber of Deputies, laving fur its object to bestow a pension of 50,000 francs upon the Duke de Richelieu and his posterity. This pension is to arise from a grant of landed property, to be chosen from among the domains assigned to the Civil List by the•law of Nov. S, 18 4. The Marquis Dessolles introduced the measure with an appropriate speech. lie observed, in allusion to the causes which had produced their liberation from foreign armies, that elle Sovereigns at Aix-la-Chapelle, had proclaimed, a s one of their principal motives, " the happy effects of the institutions" which prevailed in France. Speaking of the Dule, he said, he had cicsplayetl, during the tie relations, " that loyalty, those diplomatic talents, combined with integrity and honour, which inspire confidence, and that modest dignity which obtain. respect." _ . In the same sitting, Baron Louis, the Minister of Finance,, submitted a prtject of law, for fixing the period, '(July Ist) at which the financial year should commence 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 .provisional collection •of the revenue,.b-afore the bud get for each particular year shall have been voted. The law will commence its operation in July, 1820, and it is enacted by the second article, that the budget for 1819 .sball comprehend a suppkment,u7 budget of-the supply for the first six months of 1820. They have begun to make preparations for the cere mony of'shc Kirfg's coronation. • The Doke de Itichiclicu Las taken leave of his Nia jeAy and the Royal Family, preparatory to lib dei ar tore for the country.

Accounts have been receired from Rio Janeiro, 113.thitt, and Permunbuco ; th latest of which ore dated the end of last month. By their contents we are enabled to give u contradiction to the intelligence received through the United States, or fresh insurrections in the Bragil4. The purrms concerned is the revolution which occurred some time back, it is true, had not yet beim brought back to trial. We yesterday received Charleston Pailers to the Kith, and Navanuah Journals to the I sth ult. The conduct of Gen. Jackson and his Court Nlartial to wards our uufintunata countrymen, • Arbuthnot and Ambrister, constitutes a prominent feature in all the pipers of the Unhm, and we must in justice add, that not one of them ventures to justify it. Even the National bitelligencer goes no further than to quibble upon the subject, afraid, appurent'y to cotakinn, and yet ashamed to approve. These Papers contain an account of a discovery made in the Mississippi territory, ofan tmeietit Cemetry, which indicates the existetwc, at some remote period, of a race of pigtuies who inhabited that district. Thursday night was published a _supplement to the London Gazette of the I,2th instant, containing ex tracts of &Tarbes from Lord Hustings, with others front subordinate Officers coploytitl on service through. oat the Peninsula of India. Z.F.ach of the three Pre sidencies holding direct communicatim with the East House, and all being frequently aitt,cipated by private letters, the seine intelligence is thus repeated from several distinct sources, though under nearly similar forms ; and in alluding to the transactions detailed in one Gazette, we have little more to do • him to remind our readers of facts which were submitted to them through the same official ergan many months betide. • This is pretty mach the case in the present instance, with the exception, that we find in it a ifew of the more minute circumatances of those events with the outline and general, character of which the public are already acquainted. In the extract from the despatches of the Marquis of Hustings, Sir J. Malcolm receives credit fol. the highest skill and ability, and subse vent moderation of his conduct . towards Bajee Row. The troops remaining with this Chieftain were, on the route towards Gwuiior, so entirely surrounded, the: Advance and retreat were equally impossible : resistance to the combined force of Sir J. Malcolm and General Doveton was an expedient no less desperate than thC eillirt to escape ; se that the ea,Peishwa had no alter native but that of unqualified submission ; a n d th e terms imposed upon him were, that he should reside in the city of &nares as a private individual, with an income suited to a person of high birth, but withote • any other pretensions. The reports from Colon(' M•Dowell, of the siege of Nltilligatim, and of the ultimate surrender of that fiirtress, will be read with considerable interest ; the admiration excited by the bravery of our troops being checkered with deep re gret 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 inthrmed, that the cap ture of the fert of Moolbeir terminated the war in the domittiont of the conquered Peishwu. The Gazelle eoncludes with an account of a gallant and successful action, on the part of Brigadier Gen. rid Hardyman at the head of the 17th British 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 con. 4 .lerable 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 Chun- . calor, who, in consequence of the continuance of in disposition, was unable to attend. The Lord Chief Baron, however, nut being a l'eer 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. In the tenth pear of that reign, Lord Chief Justice King presided nt the trial of the Lord ( :ban cellor, the Earl of Macclesfield, for extortion and corrupt practices. The opinion appears to have been erroneous, that new writs . might •be moved imme diately after the appointment ut the Speak r. It seems that firarteen days must elapse ,the tune allowed f< r presenting petitions against returns) before new writs can be moved for. Mr, Brougham is expected to move the new writ to replace the hunented S.c awn! Ro svillY• BUSINESS. Monday being Plough Monday, the Lord Mayor suottuotted a Collet of Aldermen, according to ancient custom, to receive the prosenttnents of the lequestsuf the several s AVards of the City ; when rather it novel tin:must:nice took place. On the Inquest of Wa'brook Ward, over which the Luri Alayor presi.les, being called in, Mr. Alderman Waithman pre..en red a P e t l .. tion,• s4.pted by alt.. Gibbons and Mr. Smith, two re spect:ll.de inhabitants of that Went, complarning of pr.. tial and improper conduct on the part of his Lerde at. the Wardtnote held on St. "cherhas's Day last, 'ne the election eight discreet ctrl 'Wolter persons to re. present• the said Ward in Common Council, tstatiiig. tkat one of the said Petitioners propesed another Cut:_ dictate, and inteoded to have propose:l tour others; ba't that his Lordship culled upn the Candidate prop-mud, to know whether he wished to be put in no:Minnie:l; that the Candidate said he feel no such design ; where upon the Lord Mayor rethsed to put him in notninution. That the Petitioners contended his l e (')rd e hip h a d 1 ,,, t no sach questions to any other Candidate,' eta was it his duty. 'l'hat they again persisted in noun:win , the said person us a Candidate, contending, that tie:, othce was a comptalsuri one, and us ha had been regulariy proposed and seconded, his Lordship Lad no utithority to reject him. The Petition Etrthcr stated, that one in particular of Ile persons returned, was n.e. dai.v qualified, for real acs there stated ; and tannewled, flint the whule proceedings were ireegalar and illegal, tlest the election was theretbre void, and concluded with praying, that a new elution should be "urea's, and that they might be heard by themselves, their Counsel, So licitors, awl Agents, anti to adduce evidence to prove the allegations contuined in their Petitions. Mr. Alderman Wnithrnun moved that the sail Peti tion be taken into consideration ut the next Court of Aldermen, and that notice thereofshall be given to the parties. _ _ - Mr. Gibbons, one of the Petitioners, desired to know whether the business would be taken into consideration at the next Court, and whether they Rhoulti have notice, to prevent his being at the expellee of Cuunsel anA witnesses. at an uncertainty. The Lord Mayor replied, all he could say was, that it would be laid bcfore the nest Court, and he should think that sufficient notice. Mr. Alderman %Vint holm observed, th tt the Petition was of a very serious nature ; it complained of the vio lation of•the rights of clectim. If the allegations were true," tha IVard would be unrepresented, or rather, what was worse, misrepresmted ; thr hour could the Corporation act under such eircutustaa, tar tile saute thing might happen to sevcral Wards? It — was — at length agreed that the Petition s!inull hp taken into consideration at the next Cour:, aad tact the parties should have notice thereof. TILE DR.1,11.1. DRURY LANE THEATRE. Wednesday night Mr. Kean made his appearance ia the character of Brutus, atter the absence of a fe weeks. The audience, which war far inure nurncroris than select, were so• impatient fur his entrance, that Sextus and ~ f rums Taivuiaius, who preccdeLint a few minutes, were completely silenced. Osi his approach. clamours of applause commenced, which lasted, without intermission, for sonic time after he appeared. He went through the character with his usual abilities.. BRIGHTON. Jan. 13.—ThP Marquis of Salisbury returned to the Pavilion this afternoun, aad dinod with the Primx Regent. Count Funchal', late Ambwtsador from the Court cf Portugal, and uncle to Count Palmetto, the present Minister, arived at a late hour lust night lima Italy., having travelled by, way of Paris, Calais, I.) ner and coastwise from thence to this town. Immediately upon the arrival of the Count, at the Castle Tavern, he pr, - ceeded to the Pavilion, and was adiuitted to au audience with the Prince Regent. To-morrow, Cie first Privy Council.i3 expected to be held at the Pavilion, whichli!.cly - to be ii.taterously attended. Part of the Queen's property, consisting of pieces of silk and satin, gold and silver, fi,ored and plaio, not made up, were measured last week, at the Qieett:s House, St. James's Park, amounting to to yards. They were presents to her Majesty, or parchaes made by her Jim the eneouragetnent of the manufiteturo.— They ate of various prices, front one guinea to live guincus peryard, and many offitem of the most beau tiful workmanship —one of them, a of green sir; shot with gold, is of the most exquisite beauty. Thix valuable collection the Princesses have pres , ...ntedto Madame Beckendorfi; as a m ar k o f t h e i r osteem for the favourite of ihcar tlecensed Royal Parent. In another apartment was a la%c store of the most superb shawls, Oriental presents to her Majesty, but many of thent nearly consumed by the moths. 'IAN) T 7
