Paris Papers of Saturday last have arrived at our office. It appears that the original intention enter- Wired at the Court of France, of not assuming mourning in honour of our late QuitEN's memory until after the opening of the Legislative Chambers, has been abandoned, and an order was issued on Friday that the Court should put itself into mourn ing for twenty-one days, commencing from Sun day last. The evacuation of France, our readers are aware, has been inaJe the subject of 'reef .1! 5 1 7rmatiC essays, principally of a tisht and trifling nature. These are almost exclusively dis:*:!Tuislied by their at tempts to ridicule the English, and to represent our dress, actions, and manners, as objects for t'OD. tempt or merriment, while with a good taste, quite national, they abound in panegyrics upoo F ranee'. and represent the retiring of the Allied troops' as " unwilling tribute to French. valour. Such a display of national superiority at the present en, '- dent is, to speak tenderly of it, extremely ina t i. propriate. A maniac, freed on return of rea son from the pressure of his fetters, wou: evince a more decent sense of his situation by bowing i,; 4 head in humility and sorrow, than in exulting in the restored confidence of his friends as a source of triumph to himself, and a confession on their parts of his own superior excellence. Joy on the libera tion of oar's country from the presence of a foreigii force is a natural and a commendable feeling, /nit the expression of it should he regulated by cir etrinstancts, and should not display itself in the exultation of victory, when the event that occasions it is associated with defeat, and calls alone fur gratitude and humility. We are glad to find that sentiments not very dissimilar have been pressed by a French writer, in reviewing one of those dramatic efforts we have noticed. The critic remarks—r• This little piece r Angiale de relour), like five or six others that preceded it in the minor • th r „t,,,, 'bar tar its object to slug the departure of the Allies, and the evacuation of our territory. I rejoice as sincerely as our poets can, to see the term of our painful sufferings abiidged ; but the senti ment insrired in every French bosom by this good fortune dues nut seem to be of a Hsi ure to pa.- voke that tumultuous and estravvgatit joy which 1 esisales itself to songs of merriment. We have I paid, and •till pay dearly, the price of our ran som ; and it appears to me that a silent reserve is, in our peculiar circumstances, the attitude most befitting oar dignity and our character. Such at least was that of the Chamber of Deputies in that immortal sitting when the condition@ of our independence were unanimously accepted."— In this passage there is much good sense and good feeling. Were we to judge of the sentiments entertained on this point by the great body of the people, from the success of the dramatic exertions, we should conclude that the critic in the French Paper was their faithful representative, for not even the stale jokes of making Englishmen speak bad French, and of exhibiting absurd caricatures of our notion, with apostrophes to French valour and French glory, could save the several pegites pieces from alter damtt•tioa. Every varying scene of the drains, by representing the" sacred soil polluted by • foreign footstep," sheaved too forcibly how un @amoebic it use just then to prate about glory.— The notional pride of the audience was alarmed, and the ♦auity of the poor author@ was sacrificed iu the contest. An Betide from bun says, that all the Officers have been definitively appointed by the Spanish Go vernment in the expedition preparing agaiiist South America, and that they have received orders to re• pair immediately to Cadiz : whence it may be in ferred that some part of the long-threatened force will soon sail for its destination.—The French Funds have not as yet recovered from the sudden depres sion they experienced on Wednesday, notwithataud. iug the very great exertions of the principal capital ists of Paris.

A Common Council will be held at the Guild hall of the City of London to-morrow, pursuant to • requisition, in which those who sign it thus express their object in calling the Council. It is, Say they— " To (insider the propriety of petitioning Parliament to revise the Criminal Code, it which nuiserims petty armee, are visited with the same paoishineat as the most atrocious murders;—nod as minor offenders are seldom executed me. eordiag to law, crimes have bees thereby increased rather than diminished;—and praying that a wore rigorous system of prison discipline may be adopted, whereby capital punish. meat may be mitigated, and crimivals reformed.' To this point the attention of the country has been for a considerable time anxiously directed, and so strong is the expression of public feeling, and so decidedly condemnatory of the existing sys tem of penal judicature, that we think it would be altogether impossible for the Legislature to decline the consideration of the most prominent parts of it during the ensuing Session. That branch, how ever, of our Penal Code which demands the ear liest attention of Parliament, relates to the laws respecting the forgery of the notes of the Bank of England. The utmost inconvenience has long been felt, not only in London, but throughout the kingdom in general, from the increased ingenuity and num bers of those concerned in the fabrication and utter ing of forgeries, and experience has convinced those most fully persuaded of the efficacy of the halter, that capital punishments, iuflicted with the most un relenting rigour, are inadequate for the prevention or correction of the evil. It is revolting to the cha racter of the country to have scores of our fellow. creatures, Session after Session, at the Old Briley, sentenced to expiate the offence of forgery by fur faring an ignominious and shocking death. This subject has, however, assumed a different complexion, in consequenie of • verdict of ac quittal pronounced on Saturday last at the Old Bailey, in a case of forgery, wherein the evidence war fully as strong as that on which convictions have usually ensued. The passing of the note was proved, the prisoner was identified as being the utterer, the Bank Inspector pronounced the note to be • forgery, but the Jury would not give credit to the simple assertion of the Bank Inspector, un fortified as it was by the 'hew of any teasons that could apparently enable him to pronounce with ea rtainty upon a point which to ordinary eyes seems one of considerable difficulty.

This is the peculiar advantage enjoyed by the people of Ireland with respect to the notes of the National Bank of that emus try. There a forgery can blatantly be detect ed by any person, however illiterate. who has been accustomed to see the genuine notes, and consequently the utmost confidence is felt in the circulation of the Bank of Ireland paper ; while here none but the favoured few who are in the con fidence of the Bank Directors are possessed of the valuable secret, and so paramount are the interests of the Bank of England esteemed, that the public convenience. we had almost said the whole retail trade of the country, is sacrificed, even with the permission of the Judges on the Bench, lest the divulging of a secret so important might by pos sibility clime the Company to the chances of loss. From the proceeding in a case yesterday at the Old Bailey, it is to he expected that the difficulty thus started by the Loudon Jury will influence all others who shall have to decide upon similar cases, and consequently the Bank must either divulge the secret, or be satisfied never to succeed in convicting a prisoner. It is a distressing reflec tion that the country should so long have patiently submitted to such a system. It now, however. draws near its close, for even should Parliament in the ensuing Session decline putting any Legisla tive enactment upon the best means of preventing forgeries, the expiration of the Bank Restriction At•' will afford the public an alternative, of which no doubt t , ry will gladly avail themselves, and toe .mall Bai.k of Eiglend notes will be thereby trfl.-ctualls raciuded from the circulating medium of the cuuntiy.

BRITISH INSTITUTION. Yesterday the private view took place at the Bri. tish Institution of the copies and sketches made b y A r ti s t s an d Students from the tine collection of Pictures of the Old Masters, exhibited in this Galler7. Our readers will recolleci,• thet the last Exhibition at the Institution consisted of some line Pictures of the Italian, Spanish, Flemish, Dutch, and French &insole ; and many of these works, including the two Cartoons in the collection, were, by the intrust t I the Directors and kindness of the Prop, jetOrS, miff real to remain as after fortiori. Exhibitions, as a school of study for the benefit of the young Artist. 11'e have often had occasion to point out the great advantages which the Fii:e Arts have received from the establishment of the British Institution. It in the first place pre an impetus to the ener gies of the Royal Acarb-my, which, notwithstanding the genius and talent it embodied, was at the time if not sunk in that state of inactivity to which cor porate bodies are so proverbially liable, at least at a stand, so far as respected Ow means of advancing the Arts in this country. Since the establishment of the Institution the Academy has roused it-elf into proper activity—it has now a complete set of Casts in its schools of study—if occasionally col lects, fur present use, some of the fittest Pictures—. Nod both establishments go now band in hand in time promotion of one common purpose. The chief reason why the Institution lies been attended with such beneficial effects is, that at the outset it struck directly at the best means of arresting public title-its 000 0 and directing it to the cultivation of the Fine Arts—its Exhibitions were varied and frequent, and never so crowded as to hide or obscure smaller works, always keeping alive the public attention to the splendour of an cient Art, by preselititig to the eye some of the finest works of the Old Masters, and occasimially shewing the existing state of Art in our owii vomit ry, by presentin g a number of the be s t s p ec i mens which were offered—not by way of contrast, as was invidiously and ungenerously iiisnivatid, but for the purpose of giving modern Art fair play in seeking public estimation. The public taste was to a certain extent chastened and im proved by a sort of familiarity with the work+ of the Old Masters, and the Artist. or the SI •ideut at least, must, beyond all question, have largely par ticipated in the improvement which their study was calculated to convey. It has been viith great truth observed, that though private patronage may for a sitne foster genius aid direct it, yet, without the professional valise of the Ait be felt by the litany whom it is intended to interest, exerion will be languid and patronage useless. The, value of uta Artist's profession must be stamped by general esteem, and a mutual feeling of good t Aar must exist between the Artist and the public. The Di rectors of the British Institution have done much to itrottinte this desirable community tat feeling mid interest. The Artists feel it in the increased and increasing sale ofitheir Pictures, and they acknow ledge and repay this proper and deserved pittrutiuge by the improvements which, at each successive Ex hibition, they develope in every baitich of Art. It was impossible to look at the copies yesterday exhibited at this Gallery, without being ' , truck with the great improvement which almost every doy developer in the growth of the Fine Arts. This im provement is not conflated to any particular brooch, it is universal. The average numb.•r of Minden,* who attended the Gallery alter former Exihittons, to imprtive themselves before the old Pictures, set. dont exceeded twenty—since the !art Exhibition., it was seldom under seventy; and the contr. r ester. day exhibited, both iii variety and execution, sur petard any that we had the pleasure of seeing at any of the former private views. As there copies are made by the Artists and Stu dents at their own discretion. and in general for their own private use and improvement, and a. the Exhibition of them is not putilte, but merely for their own friends and a select company, it would be unfair to establish a precedent for making them the subject of detailed observation. That the Ai.. lists do not shrink from cliallesigin,g general obser ration, is evident from the fearless mintier in whirl, they have (we think for the first time) affixed their names at full length to their respective Pictures. That their confidence was founded upon a just sense of the fair pretensions to which they laid claim, was manifest to every person in the Gallery yesterday, who heard the expression of satisfaction which wail uttered by the general company who were admitted to see the works. The chief copies in this Exhibition are as fol lows. We must, of course, give precedence to the Ladies, who are indeed eminently entitled to it : Mild CROPLIM, from Ls NAIN and the Cartoons. Mrs. GROTBS, from VANDEVELDE. The Mimi* SIIIAIRIPIC, several beautiful Miniatures, from different subjects. Miss HANTti. some floe compositions from the Cartoons.
