LONDON, NIONDAY, Maacu 14, HAS. The Paris Papers of Thurbday and Friday are Wiled with the continued debates on the Law of Indemnity. The Chamber of Deputies had arfived at the convitleration of the fourteenth article. The most interesting part of the discussion occurred on an amendment, proposed by General .FOT, for the publication of the names of the parties in demnified, with the amount of the rum allotted to them in the shape of indemnity. M. as Vat! tit opposed the sittendiseut, as being only calculated to sow feelings of dis union among the people, and give facilities to scandal spinet both tbegovernmeut and the emigrants. It was for the Chambers to Instito to inquiries, if they had reason to sus pect the prispe?eseisatiou of the law, but he deprecated the eubstitudom of a system of vague and anonymous calumny for the essetitutional surveillance of the legislative bodies. M. B. CONITANT, it, order to avoid the evil anrebended by the Minister and insure the good desired by the General, moved, that a list of the emigrants should be printed gni distributed among the two Chambers, and that the Ministry should render an account to them every year of the progress made in the execution ei the law.

The remaining articles state the manocr in which the money is to be applitd, for which purpose a Committee is to be nominated, the members of which are to be proposed by the War Minister ; they are to point out the departments in which there are grounds for giving out the succours intended. and also to propose the proportion in which the new credit of 250,0u0 trance is to be divided_antoog the several departments.

The cabinet of Viet na had hopes that our Court would solicit the lengthening of the resi dence of the Austrian troops, at least till the Swiss corps which the old King was inclined to take into his pay, should be formed ; but Austria has deceived herself. The King, who knows with what impatience the Neapolitans put tip with the res.dence of the Austrians, and the expense which they bring on the country, has resolved to get rid of them as soon as possible, certain by this means of deserving the gratitude of the Neapolitans, who in no respect agree with the Austrian soldiers, alto are no doubt well disciplined, but whose character is quite opposed to that of the Italians. With respect to the formation-of a Swiss corps, the new King has broken off all communication with the Cantons, and in tend► to have in his sery :cc natiocal troops only. PARIS, Medici; le.

'From the Courrier Francais of Friday.] PARIS, MARCII le. It appears that every preparation is made at the Austrian Ambas sador's Hotel, for the reception of Count bletternich, and that that Diplomatist will arrive in Paris next Saturday. The arrival of a Statesman who used such exertions to cliccx the constitutional movement in Germany, to elude the promises made to the German people in the hour of danger, to restrain the concessions already yielded by some Princes, to submit to a sole direction the will of Princes and the march of the States comprised in the German Con federation. The arrival of etch a Statesman among us must of necessity draw attention, and give birth to numerous and disquiet ing conjectures. 31. Sabastide, Spanish Commandant at the Phillipine Islands, has ju‘t arrived at Paris, as well so another Spanish Officer, coming from Hamburgh. They both proceed to Madrid on so important mission. _ _ _ It is asserted that a squadron, composed Of several Spanish ships of war and transports, .et sail on the 3d of February, from the Ca nary Islands, boand to South America. OFFICIAL REPORT ON THE STATE OF OREICR. (Continued from our Paper of Thursday last.) It may perhaps be asked how the Greeks, so strong in the de fence of their own territory when attacked by the enenry, have not yet undertaken to invade that of the Turks ? The reason why they do not is simple : they have hitherto wanted pecuniary means, the principal support of an offensive war. It was only in the month of August last that the Greek Government received the lint in stalment of the loan contracted for at London. The Greeks of Macedonia, Parannthia, and of Chimera, in Epirus. have already erects! times applied to the Government of Greece, only begging for arms and provisions to rise against the 'f inks. The fine island , of Cyprus has also begged for a squadron to cruise on their coasts, in order to facilitate the immediate erection of the standard of in. dependence. Besides, it ought not to be lien sight of, that the policy of the Greek Government is principally turned towards maritime affairs, always following the plan of Themistocies, in preference to the; of the Spartan warrior. In consequence, their progress on land is slow. In addition to the solidity which this slow but sure march will give to its progress and its plans, the sea promises Greece advantages infinitely more numerous, more pro- fitable, and more fruitful in happy results; not only will it decide the fate of Greece, as it has at all times, hut it will be the cir cumstance which will open to it the navigation and commerce of Asia, Africa, aed the `Vest of Europe -• commerce which that e tunny commands in some sort by its situation. A perfect mari time superiority would, of itself, place in the hands of the Greeks the peaceable possession of the important islands of CandiseCyprus, and Rhodes, and several others, which, in the golden ages of ancient Greece, formed of themselves flourishing states; it will give them, besides, the means of easily starving Constantinople, and of aiding, by the help of their light and swite-eailieg vessels, sudden debarkations on tire coasts of Asia and Europe, which ever spread terror throe ghout the Turkish cop re. A number of other advantage., winch induce the Greeks to turn their attention prin. cipally to the cultivation of their navy, I pus over in silence. Had it not been fur the penury of their bunnies, they would ere row hare substituted, in place of their trading vessels, a really war like navy. It is that same poverty which has been the prin. cipal obstacle to the reduction of Patel., Coron, Motion, in the Peloponneeses ; of Lepanto, in Western Greece ; and of Negropont and Cerestos, in the Isle of Emmet. The siege of these places was the more difficult to the Greek.. that it was necessary to blockade them by sea and land, which occasioned them a dou'sle expense. Since the Government has had the disposal of part of its loan, it has turned till its attention to those places, which a r tclosely blockades. Their evacuation would reduce the nasal forces of Turkey to a state of inaction. The Pasha of Egypt him self, if he werz willing again to attetnpt any thing for the Porte, could no longer undertake any serious enterprise. It would even be a powerful motive to detach himself entirely from the Govern ment of Co: etantinorlo. The geographical .:citation of Greece is one of the finest and most advantageous that could be pointed out. Negate has not favoured in PO eminent a degree any other country of the same extent, whether with respect to its fertility, Ps navigation, or its commerce. The mildness of its climate, the multitude of rivulets with re•ich the century is wmered, and many other excellent qualities. The plants shish grow between the Tropics flourish in its plains and valleys; and those of the northern regions become nattier lined nn its mountains. The form of the country, bounded on three sides by seas, and i:s coasts indented in all ports, abounding in havens anti ports, are extremely favourable to navigation and commerce. These advantages render it unnecessary for Greece to make canals, roach, &c. (laced between two seas, its inhabitants have always a few paces front them a neighbouring port, front which their produce may be cartieti to other commies. It WAS these advantages that anciently made even single towns, as Corinth and Rhodes, wig trews cf the then known seas surd commerce. It was the posses sion of Candis. Cyprus, and other islands which was the cause of Venetian grandeur. Tire cause of its decline was the loss of those important islands. The Greek population, exclusive of the Albanians,Servians, &c. with whom they have been sonretintes cotifounded, arnonnts to between seven and eight millions. Two of these are spread over Asia Minor. and another part occupy the countries still subject to the Turks, such as Macedonia and Thrace. The union of these, when Greece shall have eetehlished her iudepeedence, will, with her commercial enterprise, form a Stare much more important than is thought for. It is not numbers, but the activity geeerated by coin ' mcrce, that forms the strength of such States. When the United States of America began their political career their population only amounted to three mil/ions. . _ The common Intereus of the European Powers will urge them to the territorial iggrardi•ement of Greece. When the drat* they have made L . > maintain Turkey ever since 1767 are remembered, can it be doubted that they will be an►ious to raise a hauler against nor l.eraa; : zretniittenteltt ? The one aired to them is btrunger than that they %haled to uphold. (To be continued.)

A—rt. Esq. and a gentleman of the name of Cr—b---e, in consequence of a dispute, which the dash ing courtesan, Mrs. Laborde, occasioned. The parties were s.ii•prized by enemies on IVingfleld plain, in the morning, through the anxiety of the frmalr. Mr. A. was shot in the shoulder in a second fire, and the ball lodged. He was conveyed home to his cottage at Shiplake, three miles from where the duel was fought, attended by urgeon Hughes of Sunning. THE B _......ammlbow.ummiweeemomwsws-- be concluded. Calera' For's amendment was rejected by a large majority. On that of N. CONSTANT, the Cham ber was more equally divided. The PRESIDENT, on a se amed trial, declared that that proposition was also rejected ; hut this statement was received with a violent tumult of unligaation. One Deputy exclaimed, "This is abomina ble I" The PRESIDSNT complained that so coarse a term of reproach should be sddrtssed to the Chamber in so un becoming a manner (de la maniere la pia: incoavenante). The word was evidently meant to be applied to his own conduct, but he very prudently thought fit to apply it to the Chamber. The agitation produced by this transaction did not subside after the adjournment ; a numerous group' ' of Deputies, among whom was the PSEIIDSNT himself, remained for some time in the Chamber conversing with great warmth on the subject. These are the first fruits of the measure which was to produce the Bow RIION mil lenium. The snivel of the Prince de METTERNICH at Paris gives rise to a great variety of conjectures. The French Constitutionalists are now apprehensive that it is connected 'with the counter-revolutionary course pursued by the pre sett Ministry. The unfriendly disposition of M. de Mer raanrcu towards the newly-acquired freedom of Ger sway, seems to warrant some dread that he has not undertaken his visit to the French capital for pur poses wholly of a private nature. It was rumoured that the formula of the coronation oath to be taken by CHALLEI X. had become the subject of serious consider ation, and that the word " Institutions" would be used Instead of " the Charter," as in the speech on the opening , of th e Session. Another report was, that some di ffi culties' bad been raised by the Court of Rome, who had taken ad- 1 vantage of the bigotry of the present KING to revive its I pretensions to the Contat Veuaisin. This question it was .understood would be settled by an indemnity of six ; and the presence of M. de Marrsantert was sup posed to be rendered necessary by the discussions that are taking place. The demand for indemnity is raised in every quarter, sod if the sufferer was purely royalist, there Is no hesitation in relieving him. It is but lately that the principal Generals of the French army were placed on the retired list on the pretence of economy, because they were above fifty years of age ; and almost the next measure of the French Government is to double the pensions allowed to the royalist soldiers of La Vendee. In 1823, for the first time, 940,000 francs were given to them; in 1925 the grant is raised to 500,000. The Etats contains from the London Papers the account of the death of Mr. Rowcsorr, of whom it says—"He seems to be regretted by all parties. He was a moderate man, and two letters written by him to a friend in London, from which we gave extracts at the time, show clearly that he did not pat ticipate in the exaggerated opinions of some of his countrymen relative to the Spanish Colonies. By the same conveyance, a letter from Lima of the 18th December was received, stating that the city was occupied on the 7th by BOLIVAR in person, and that General SUCKS defeated the Spanish army near Huante on the 7th, Bth, and Mb ; that in consequence of which victory, La SIRNA, seriously wounded, was made prisoner, as well as VALDEZ ; and that CANTARAC, in his capitulation, promised to give up Callao to the Insurgents. The Etoik adds, in a note, that " in the that account, called official, the victory of Sec's is placed on the 19th. How then can it be mentioned ins letter of the 18th r But this is a mistake of the htoile. In the first account the victory of Soca: is stated to have been gained on the 9th of December.

We give this morning a continuation of the important official document respecting the Greeks. It is right, perhaps, we should repeat that it is founded in every particular on details authenticated by the Greek Govern ment. We think an attentive perusal of this Report cannot leave a doubt in the mind of any person as to the result of the struggle and the future prosperity of Greece. The natural advantages of the country, and intellectual capability of the people, must carry them forward in a course of certain and rapid improverJent. It is with real pleasure that, in our columns of to-day, we draw the attention of our readers to the Letter of Mr. O'Corottu. to the Chairman of the Catholic Association in Ireland, and which was read to them publicly at a meeting held in Dublin on Wednesday evening. It is marked by its candour and moderation, and by that reflec tive gcod sense which is worth all the eights of his elo quence. It is calculated to restore him to the confidence of thinking men, and to raise him in the estimation of all those whom lie must naturally wish to stand well with. His visit to our side the water has had the good effect of removing many of those prejudices which, till now, had warped his better feelings. In Ireland, and at a distance, be moved in a sphere of predilections and antipathies, and by them he shaped his course ; but being in England, and moving in the different circles of society, public and pri vate, he is in a condition to judge fur himself, and he pro- Claims, honestly and openly, his change of opinion:— " I am able," says he, " to state, that the cause of re ligious liberty, which we advocate, is certainly gaining ground in this country ; much of the opposition to us I was in the habit of attributing to bigotry, and to an old dislike to the Irish. Since I came here, lam convinced I was in error, and that there is but little of bigotry remain ing, and still less of an anti-Irish feeling!" That Mr. Oton N est should have found in the Eng lish people s more sincere and earnest with for the im provement of Ireland than he had given them credit for, we can readily believe. It was a result to be expected. The majority of both nations have an interest in upholding those rights, in the security of which they have a common stake. The more enlightened amongst us—and it is that class he would visit—well know that Protestant and Ca tholio rights have the same common origin ; that they rest precisely on the same grounds ; and that the Government which does not acknowledge both affords no permanent constitutional security to either. Mr. O'CONNELL will likewise have perceived that those prejudices w h ich formerly influenced the delibet ations of Par liament on the subject of the Catholic Claims have yielded, by degrees, to a more manly and liberal mode of thinking. Ile will hive seen that our Ministers in all their mea sures, whether of domestic or of foreign policy, give far more weight than formerly to all those principles which constitute the essence of a wise and capable Government; and inferring from this—as be was well warranted to do— that Ireland also would have the full benefit of this change of system, he will have been taught the impolicy of ex citing smog his countrymen, an irritation which would thwart the general interests of both countries, by keeping ali►e a spirit of revolt, which our Government would cer tainly not be disposed to put an end to by concession. It is gratifying to remark the frank and friendly manner in which Mr. O'CoNtritt.t. acknowledges the sincerity of Mr. PLUNK CT?, and his steady and consistent devotion to the Catholic cause. Indeed, it is manifest that his visit to England has convinced him that the guardianship and protection of the best interests of his country cannot be in better hands than those to which they are confided. The Catholic claims have the eloquznt and effective support of Mr. CA NNING, and of other Members of distinguished lead and weight in the Cabinet; and Ireland has the near prospect of sharing in all those blessings of the British Constitution from which she has been so long debarred. We consider this letter alit. O'CoNtiscia to the Catholic Association as highly creditable to him ; for it is honourable to every man to retract his sentiments, when more mature reflection and greater light on the subject have convinced him that be was wrong. CITY, SATURDAY EVENING. The gloom that was apparent in the Money Markets yes terday was in no degree removed this day ; almost every security was heavy. In the English market there was very little doing, and that little at depressed prices, Consols for money bAng at 931 i, and for the account at 93j to In the Foreign Market the business was heavy. South American Securities were flat generally. Mexican Scrip, 1825, was at 31 1 ; and the Brazilian Scrip was Colom bian Bonds were at 91 f. The New Greek Scrip declined to 43j discount. The opinion of the public, however, does not seem to he affected by the cabal, us the instalments were paying up rapidly, and a general feeling of cod& deuce prevailed as to the Scrip shortly bearing a premium. The Bonds were at 52i ; Old Spanish Bonds were firm at 2411 i and the Bonds of 1823 were at 193. The Times of this morning asserts roundly, on the faith of a correspondent, real or pretended, at Paris. that the amount of the new Danish Loan is about 2,500,000!. and that it has been contracted for by Messrs. Thomas Wilson and Co., the unsuccessful bidders being Mr. Rothschild, and Messrs. B. A. Goklschinidt and Co. To give the pa ragraph an air of authenticity, several other minute parti culars are added. We believe this is the third or fourth announcement of the contract for this loan, and like all its predecessors, it is, we understand, in every respect un founded. The amount of the loan is 5,500,000!. of which three millions and a half are to be paid this year, and the remainder next year. The bidding% were not to be made at Paris. Mr. Rothschild sent his terms direct to Copenhagen, and as yet he has received no answer. Messrs. B. A. Gold schmidt have offered no proposals whatever for this loan. When the contract is made we shall be able to state the terms, but till then we must continue to wait patiently for the occurrence of the fact before we announce it. We be lieve that Messrs. Wilson and Co. have forwarded some offer to an agent of the Danish Government, but no con- tract is definitively concluded. The Share Market was equally heavy with the Money Markets. Pasco Peruvians were very much depressed ; they were done as low as Si. The Mexican Company's l shares were at 6 to 7, and the Atlantic and Pacific at +I, but looking upwards. There was no business doing in Rail roads. 'I he Colombian Agricultural Company's shares were steady at 16, 15, and the impression was that they would be considerably higher. A " Coral Fishery," and " Scottish and National Mining Company," have been formed, the shares of which are shortly expected in the market. The Jobbers in Mincing-lane were busy settling their , accounts, their usual Saturday's employment, so that we I call quote scarcely any prices: there were, however, some bargains made in refined Sugars, at 4 to .5 per cwt. lower than the last quotation.

The German Papers received on Saturday contain a long article from Elberfuldt, relative to the German American Mining Company, in which it is stated that their Agents have been very favourably received in Mexico, and have concluded contracts for a co-operation with the owners of several mines, upon the principle of an equal division of 'moths, a circumstance which has induced the Company to extend the amount of their capital from 200,000 to 500,000 dollars.

MARCIII IL—London, 36 1 ; 2 Us. 33, 10. PETE/113111611. FEB. 22—London. 9 29.32. CATHOLIC EMANCIPATION Mr. O'Connell has addreseed the following letter to the Catholic Association in Ireland. It was read at the meet ing of that body on Wednesday last:— London, 7th March. 1826. Sta.-1 deem it a duty i owe my respected brethren of the Ca tholic Association, to state to them the hillowing facts, and to mix with my statement some advice, which is certainly honest in in tention : Fi.st—Tbe Bill for the suppression of the Association will be read a third time this day. It cannot get the Royal Assent foe some days--end it will not be in force or operation for ten days after it receives the Royal Assent. I hope I shall be in Ireland within that period, to assist in such an arrangement as may be most suited to the dignity and the interest of the Catholic body, without being in any. even in the slighcet degree inconsistent with that dutifal and ready obedience we have always paid, and in every fortune will pay, to the law of the land. Obedience to the law is our first duty--our next is the peaceable and loyal pursuit. by all the conetitutional channels left open to us, of that Miami pation which would not be the victory of party, but would be the means of consolidating the empire, by making the people of Ireland part and parcel of the common strength of the great British nation. Secondly-1 am able state, that the cause of religious liberty, which we advocate, is certainly gaining ground in this country ; much of the opposition to us which I was in the habit of attribut ' ing to bigotry, and to an old dislike to the Irish. Since 1 owe here, I ant convinced I was in error, and that there is but little of bigotry remaining, and still less of an anti-Irish feeling. No ! The opposition to us at present, such as it is. is occasioned solely by an ignorance of the merits of our claims, and by the prejudice cre ated by Orange calumniators. I have perceived that it is quit* sutfident to give an Englishman accurate btfbrmation on the sub ject of the oppressions under which we labour, and the extent of the relief which we seek, to convert hint iron an opponent into a steady and warm friend. The examinations before the Committees of both litmus in this way have done great good; and our cause is winning its way on the English mind, by its native merits. in that friendly mode which is most desirable for the purpose of con solidating both countries in that cordial manner which would in crease the wealth and strength of both. Thirdly_l have the happiness to state my conviction that the Emsncipation Bill will pass this Session. I may be tno sanguine, but that is my opinion. We can never be too grateful to Sir F. Burdett for the manner in which he introduced the measure, and for the unwearied exertions he has made, and is making, in our cause. Mr. Plunkett, also, lam bound to say, and I say it wil lingly, Mr. Plunkett has shown himself most briny, and sin cere, and indefatigable, in this badman I cannot be deceived on this point.-1 can pledge myself to tile people of Ireland that Mr. Plunkett is doing all that man can do, and more than perhaps any other man but himself could do, to carry this Bill. Fourthly—l have further the great void:a:ion to state, that it has been permitted to rue to draw the rough draft of this Bill, in which I am engaged, and hope to have it ready on Wednesday next. fifthly—That this Rill, if it shall, as I do firmly expect, pass Into a law, will put Catholics and Protestants on a level as to Civil rights—excepting the succession of the Throne is the pre. sent Protestant family, which no person amongst us ever desired to see altered, and in which, as at present limited, we heartily concur—and except the offices of Lord Chancellor of England and Ireland. Sixthly—There is nothing sought for or desired in the way of socurity, ivcomistent with the doctrine or discipline of our Church. This part of the business is taken up in a way fuU of kindness and good sense. It is felt that. to give an Emancipa tion Bill, which, instead of conciliating would increase imitation and jealousy, would be mere folly-;tad, thtrclore, the securities sought for are sought for in their proper place—namely, the affec tionate gratitude of the Irish people—and in such an arrange meet as sill make the nomination of our Prelates essentially domestic and national, without trenching upon the Canonical rights of the Catholic Church. The allegiance of our Dignitaries, wie!' was never doubted, will thus be placed within the view of the law, but noticing at all of Veto, or Vetoistical arrange ment, is sought for or desired. Those who are supporting the Bill at bo'h 'Odes of the House are c3afuined in putting it for. ward in the most cordial anJ sioisfac!:ry say. in short, oar Emancipaticm, if thus ()Luton:. will be jut wltat all liberal Pro testants as well as ourselves have deabvtl—tamely, wxcoNDI. TIOXAL Seventhly—lt is proposed to make a provision, by the Bill, foe the Catholic clergy—•un.h • yrovision as would give them the means of doing acts of charity, instead of being almost under the necessity of obtaining it. But it is imt intended, by such provi sion, to alter or affect the existing jurisdietion of the Catholic Prelates in Ireland ; neither is there any new oath required, or say thing but what the most conscientious Catholic can desire. In short. if we are now emancipated, we shall he so in the true spirit of British generosity, and in a way to make every Catholic In Ire land pour nut blessings upon his Protestunt follow-subjects. I do, indeed, think, that a nee era is arriving fast, when religious din. 'elisions will cease with religious disabities. Eighthlf —lt has been suggested fir some time past, by many Members of Parliament connected with the Government, that the elective franchise, in conntirs, but not in cities, should be raised from 40s. to 4/. or 101. It is not to be raised in cities, because in cities the Corporations can nuke poor freemen; and therefore the counteracting qualification will De left low • besides in cities there ore none of those overwhelming large landed proprietors who can make a host of poor freeholders, and traffic upon them as if they were actual slaves. The quantity of perjury and crime pro duced in counties by the present system is enormous ; and the pre ponderating influence which the 40s. freeholders give to great land holders over the resident intellect and honesty of • county, is quite nigh tMI. Ent my own part, I really think that raising the quali fication to 6/. or even to 101. would add to the Catholic influence in Ireland ; but, however that may be, it is rot necessary to be in any haste to form an opinion on this su bject,d as before any measure of this kind is adopted full time will be given tor deliberation, and far consulting the sound sense of the Irish peoMe. Ninthly—lt is intended to give the Emancipation Bill a lint reading in about a week, and then to have it printed for circulation in England and Ireland; and we shall have full time to deliberate on it in all its clauses. The second reading will he after Easter. I wish 1 did possess any Mtiuence in the Catholic Association_ I wish I deserved the confidence of my beloved countrymen—if I did I would use it just to this extent—to implore that neither the Association, collectively. nor, if possib:e, any individual belonging to it, would give any opinion upon the change of the elective franchise, until the Bill wax printed, or until my arrival amonirt you. Indeed, I mean to carry with me the printed Bill after its first reading. I know something. I think, of human nature, and if' I can judge from symptoms of the times , Emancipation is cer tainly at hand. I lave made it great sacrifice in coming here—that ascrifice con tinues--; wish it were tcn times u great. Ido not boast of it ; but I hare been amply reoxr.pensed in the strong belief that the Deputation has done good. The Gentlemen who compose it, and especially our Chairman, Lord Killeen, deserve, I tutnk, eternal gratitude. There is one other most clieee.ng circumstance. I perceive a kind and generous fieling amongst the Irish Members who hitherto opposed us violently. Believe me that they are worthier and better men than our passions allowed us to think. I ace the begim•ing of better days—of mutual oblivion of the past—of me tual affection, and real so/ permanent conciliation tee the future—. I hope I may say " Erin, Oh, Erin. tby winter is put, And the hope that lived through it Shall blossom at last." I have the honour to be, Sir, your most faithful servant. DANIEL O'CONN&LL.
