WO 204 ~~o~tc crt r. LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 26. Three o'Clock, p. The Paris Papers of Thursday last have arrived. Paris continues tranquil, as the agitators appear to be awed by the presence of the military and the activity of the police. In the Chamber of Deputies the Duke of Richelieu has presented the Projet of a Law fur enabling the King to pay a sum of seven millions of francs to the Day of Algiers, which was stipulated for in an arrangement concluded on the 28th of October, 1819, between the Government of France and the Regency of Algiers, for the execution of the Treaty signed on the 13th of October, 1801, by the Consular Government. The Nantes Journal states, that a tumultuous assemblage " again" took place in that city on the evening of the 15th inst. It consisted principally of workmen and inhabitants of the faubourgs, who are represented to have shewn a more mischievous disposition on this occasion than the preceding days, and the number was con siderably increased. The Civil Authorities in vain exhorted them to disperse; towards ten at night they paraded the streets, exclaiming " the Charter for ever!" and seditious cries were distinctly heard. The regular troops and national guard were called out, who cleared the streets with great promptitude. No serious occurrence took place, owing to the great forbearance displayed by the military. The malady which had broken out at San Savers, in Majorca, was ascertained not to be the plague, but a typhus fever. The French Five per Cents. improve; they are 76f. 70c.; Bank Stock, 1580 F. DEPUTATION TO TILE QUEEN. Saturday, at one o'clock, the Deputation to the House of Commons waited upon her Majesty, at her residence in Portman-stroct, to present the Resolu lions, and to receive her Majesty's Answer. Her Majesty was standing in the Drawing-room, at tended by Lady A. Hamilton, and having on her right Mr. Brougham, and on her left Mr. Denman, both in their full-bottomed wigs and gowns, as if at Court. The folding doors were then thrown open, and the four Deputies of the House of Commons, in full Court Dresses, entered, and were severally presented to her Majesty by Mr. Brougham, who informed her Majesty of the places for which they were Members. They severally knelt and kissed her Majesty's hand. Mr. Wilberforce read the following Resolutions, by command of the House:— " Jervis. 22 die Junii, 1820. " Resolved,—That this House has learned with un feigned and deep regret, that the late endeavours to frame en arrangement which might avert the necessity of a pule lic iuquiry into the information laid before the two Houses of Parliament, have sot led to that amicable adjustment of the existing differences in the Royal Family, which was so anxiously desired by Parliament and the Nation. " That this House is fully sensible of the objections which the Queen might justly feel to taking upon herself the relinquishment of any points in which she may con ceive her own dignity and honour to be involved, yet feeling the inestimable importance of an amicable and final adjustment of the present unhappy differences, this House cannot forbear declaring its opinion, that when such large advances have been made towards that object, her Majesty, by yielding to the earnest solicitude of the Douse of Commons, and foi bearing to pleas farther the ..duption of those propositions on which any material dif ference of op:niou yet remains, would by no means he understood to indicate any wish to shrink from inquiry, but would only be deemed to afford a renewed proof of the desire which tier Majesty has been graciously pleased to express, to huomit her own wishes to the authority of Parliament ; thereby entitling herself to the gratelin acknow led:vomits of the House of Commons, and spoi io.; this Hume the painfol necessity of those entitle assions, which, whatever might be their ultimate reboil, could not hot be distressing to her Majesty's feelings disappoint iu to the hopes of Pallia te:eta—derogatory iiom the dignity of the Chown, and in. jitriotia to the best intei ems of the caliph e."

A crowd was assembled about the Queen's resi dence when the Deputation arrived. The Members of the Deputation were much hissed, the Queen's Counsel were applauded. When the Deputation went out, Messrs. Brougham and Denman accom panied them to their carriages, and Mr. Brougham returned to shake hands with them, and to chew the people that they were entitled to respectful treat ment. ELECTION OF SHERIFFS. On Saturday, a Common Hall was held for the Election of Sheriffs and other Officers for the ensuing year. At one o'clock the Lord Mayor entered the Hall, followed by several of the Aldermen. The . moment Alderman Wood appeared, the applause was very great. Alderman Waithman was also received in the warmest manner. Sir William Curtis was rather coolly greeted. Several Gentlemen were put in nomination in the usual manner, amongst whom was Alderman Waith man. Mr. Oldham (the popular Common Councilman) then came forward to propose James Williams, Esq. Citizen and Goldsmith, to the Office. He said he ven tured to deviate from the usual course, in consequence of the necessity which he considered to exist, to have two men in the high office of Sheriff, who were likely to go hand in hand in support of the rights and privi le,ges of the Livery, and who would act upon those principles which placed the present family upon the throne. (Applause.)—Fortune, ability, and integrity, were, in his opinion, requisite for properly sustain ing the office. Mr. Williams was, in an eminent degree, possessed of all these. He ( Mr. Oldham) should say nothing more of Gentlemen who might be proposed under the sanction of Alderman Atkins, or the present Lord Mayor, than that it was more than probable that the politics of the Candidates and the Patrons were nearly similar. The election of one of those Candidates might cause much annoyance, and he trusted the City would not do upon this occasion what it had done ,o repeatedly before—put into office two men of diametri cally opposite views.—(Laughter and applause.) He hoped his conduct upon this occasion would not be considered an obstruction to the election, and rejoiced in having obtained the permission of the COIIIIIIOII Serjeant to propose his friend.—(Laughter.) Mr. Hurconibe seconded the motion, in doing which he thanked God, that the celebrat.d City prosecutions ended, in putting those Aldermen who advised them, under the feet of the Livery. Mr. Favell said, that without wishing at all to inter fere with the admirable object of his two friends, who had preceded him, he had to state that Mr. Key, who WPC last year excused, was now ready to serve if called Alderman Waithman assured those who might sup pose him anxious to fill the office of Sheriff, that his wishes always lay in another way. He had felt some dlfficulty in taking the Gown, but as he had been placed in the highest situation his Fellow-Citizens could con. fer upon, he could put properly refuse to bear any tondo) for their sake. He concluded with declaring that lie should serve, if elected, with integrity. The different Candidates were then proposed, and Alderman Waithman and Mr. Williams were almost unanimously elected. Mr. Williams declared his determination to serve faitlifedly and impartially, and to support the Magis trates in all their just prerogatives. After a few words from Alderman Waithman, who pledged himself to do his duty, the llali was dis. solved. SHERIFF'S COURT, Red Lion Square. -el — (Before Mr. Under Sheriff - liirchall, and a Special Jury. CAPT. PELLEW, N. V. - TENANT, ESQ• Mr. Bailey opened the pleadings in this case. Tile declaration charted, that the defendant had s:lll.ecil the wife of the plaintiff. The defendant had sulitred judg ment to go by &atilt, and the jury were now impan 'wiled to assess the amount of dania6cs to which the plaintiff was entitled. Mr. Gazelee stated the circumstances v.liicli this action had been brought, and proceeded to call %sit Mr. Richard Cotter.—" I am a purser in tlie Katy I know Mr. and Mrs. Pellew. I wan ih EIL:41111 they returned trout India, in 1809. 1 went to mein at Plymouth, where 1 was introduced to '.Urs.

I continued my artrainlatice tr. when they went alaroad, I thought they t.viit r most happily. Capt. Pellew was a husband. They have three children. about four years of age—a daughter. In consequence of come unfortunate reports, I went to Ireland in December last; I saw Mrs. Pellew there. She was in the officer's apartment at Whiclily Island, near Iluitty Bay ; she was at Mr. Tenant's apartments. Mr. T. is a Lieutenant in the 35th regiment. Ile is about 30 years of age ; Mrs. Pellew is about 28 ; Cain Pellew is about 32 or 33.-1. r e mained in Irelan d till last May. Mrs. Pell , w, when I saw her, was far advanced in pregnancy. I procured a nurse fur her, whom she afterwards declined having. She was bronchi to bed about the beginning of February. I do not think Capt. Pellew had been in Ireland. lie had I believe have known it. Capt. Pellew was Captain of the Imprwirible, at Plymouth, and he roilained there for the last two years, when he attended his Parliamentary ditties. Cross-examined by Mr. Selwyn.—l first heard of dif ferences between Capt. Knew and his Lady last March two years. I beard from Capt. Pellew of their separa tion about Le months hack. He told me that in conse quence oilier ill temper they had separated. I did not Lear front Capt. Pellew that there was a formal szpara tion in writing. It was Mrs. Pellew told me that. l never saw the defendant at Mr. Pellew's in England. I never saw him till I saw hint in Ireland. Examined by Mr. Burchall.—Captain Pellew did not say to me on which side the desire of separation arose. De. Beattie was then called, but did not answer; and the case for the plaintiff was closed. Mr. Birchall, in summing up the evidence, observed, that it had been justly stated, that the true principle upon which damages were given in such cases as these, was the degree of comfort or happiness of which the plaintiff had been deprived. In this instance a volun tary separation had taken place between the parties, before the defendant, for any thing that had appeared in evidence, was even known to them. Here were none of those topics which were usually urged in aggravation of a defendant's conduct. There was no breach of friend ship—no arts to seduce—none of those acts, in het, which were calculated to excite a strong prejudice against the offender. It was the province of the Jury to take these facts into consideration, and to give that ver diet which their own sense of justice might dictate. The Jury, after a short consideration, assessed the damages to C5Ol. We regret to learn, that as the Duke of Sussex was alighting from his carriage at the Earl of Jer. sey's, in Berkley Square, on Friday last, the bolt supporting the top of the carriage broke, and his Royal Highness was precipitated under the carriage. The horses, most providentially, stood still, and gave time for the servants to extricate his Royal Highness from this perilous situation. The Duke's foot is extremely sprained. Mr. Pettigrew, his Royal Highness's Surgeon, was immediately sent for, and we are happy to announce that his Royal Highness is doing well. CORONATION MEDALS.—After the completion of the Coronation Ceremonies within Westminster Abbey, followed by the Archbishop and Bishops, and other Peers of the Realm, performing the cus tomary homage, it is usual to scatter about Coro nation Medals of gold and silver. Charles the 11. whose Surveyor General was Sir Christopher Wren, had prepared 2 00 medals of gold, and 300 medals of silver ; and there were 100 of gold, and 400 of silver, for the Queen. Their Majesties George 111. and his Queen had also an extensive impression of Coronation Medals prepared, and spread about at that point of time when the drums and trumpets announced the conclusion of the Coronation services. There is, it is stated, a dye sinking for medals to be distributed at the approaching Coronation of George IV. The gold and silver medals of George 111. were struck by Lawrence Nattier, and were orna mented on one side with his Majesty's Bust, and the inscription Georgius 111. D. G. M. Brit. Fra. Et. Hib.

On one side was represented her Bust, with the inscription Charlotta, 1). M. G. Br. Fr. Et. Hib.
