PARIS PAPERS. PARIS. JANUARY 7. Yesterday, the King received in politic •udience M. de Macehi, the Pope's Nuncio. The audience lasted a quarter of an hour. His Eminence and rune were conveyed ill the palace in three of the King's carriages, each drawn by right horses. The Kiiig received Madame the Countess of &Attend nit the occasion of the new year. M. I)ecazes has been confined to his chamber for four days, by a very severe cold. He however pre sided, on the day before yesterday, at the Prison Commence. and yesterday at the Committee of Protestant IVorship, which dot not meet in Decem ber. It was the indisposition of his Excellency and that of M. de Jerre that prevented the weekly meeting of the Council of Ministers. The monsters of Bourdeaux continue their shame ful with activity. Oat the 31st. of Decem ber, at seven o'clock in the evennig, two young women, accompanied by • child of eight years of ofe, were accosted in the streets by three young men, well dressed, olio, stopped them. " Conte, stab her."' exclaimed one of the assailants to one of his competition,. The young ruffian did not require to have it repeated, for immediately drawing ft sharp-wattled instrument, he stabbed one of the females ails it in the forehead. The wound pre siented a contusion about the size of a franc piece. The blow so effectually stunned the young woman, that she could with difficulty reach her home. Cow.% Dandolo, not less known by his writings on chemistry and rural economy, than by the part lie look in the political events of the Republic of Venice iii 1797, died, on the 13th tilt. of an apoplec t:c attack, at his seat of Veresa, near Como. An affair, iii some respects •nalagous to the cele brated trial of Rhodez, has been prosecuted before the Assize Court of Montauban. The circum stances are briefly as follow :—A young female, named Henrietta Etcht,was induced by earnest pro. feistomi or future marriage. to consent to an illicit coniwxion with a rich farmer's son near Prone. On his parents dying. he failed to fulfil his promise, and his frail mistress became the wife of soother; untwitheitanding which they still carried on their cri. ▪ ieitercoonte. Henrietta, deceived in the hors she so long entertained of partaking the fortune of her litre paramour, resolved to get possession of • portion of it. To this end, she one day enticed him to her husband's house, where he had scarcely taken his seat by the tire, when her husband en tered with a large knife in his hand, and behind Lim another man armed with • similar weapon. They seized him instrutly, and menaced him with the fate of the unfortunate Foibles, if he did not si gn two promissory notes which they presented to hon.' To save hie life he contented ; notwithstand tog this compliance, however, his death was still meditated, whew Henrietta. on her knees begged Ins life, which was granted, and he was compelled to take an oath of secresy. Next day, however, lie went to Citussade, sod deposed to the eircum eiences of the attack before • Justice of the Peace. The house was taken possession of by the Police, nod the two notes, to the amount of 30,000 francs, were found in the mattress of the bedding. Hen rietta, and Delta. the accomplice, were condemned to six yea's' imptisoument, in irons. Her husband was acquitted. CONSTANTINOPLE. DECEMBER 1.

'll 1 0 , BR rig [SU PRESS. LONDON. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1820. Some of the provincial Journals, particularly of the northern districts, occasionally endeavour to keep alive the apprehension of a certain mysterious danger, which according to their representations still threatens the country; hut their exertions upon this point are for the greater part ridiculed or contradicted by such of their contemporaries as from local circumstances •re best enabled to de tect and expose their errors. Nothing is easier than to speak of dangers, and to affect the air and tone of mystery--miehigreas spargere cores—nothing too can be safer, for is thousand pretences will arise to save the alarmist from the detection of his false hood, and he can always throw around him the cloak of importance and of political expediency, to ■void the inconvenience of being too closely questioned as to his means and sources of intelli gence ; nor can any device be individually of [nor , : advantage to an ingenious fabulist, for he is valued and courted in the direct proportion of the extravagance of Ills fictions, and of the danger that lie threatens. Should his veracity be ques tioned, his impudence can save him, fur he re quires nothing but to call his opponent traitor or radical, and his poor credulous neighbours will rally round him, and it is ten to one but the rogue will boast some silly Minister of State has given him a pension for his good services, when his merits would he best requited with • halter or a cart's tail. The season, however, is now past, when such ser vices were likely to be well received, for the Minis ters having attained their objects, would now be better pleased to be informed of the tranquillity of the country, particularly if it be at the same time affirmed, that the said tranquillity has been the immediate and necessary consequence of their vigo rous and wise measures. Possibly in the changes of sentiment to which even Cabinets are liable, our humble exertions may now he in part gratifying to our Ministers; because it is our wish, when with troth we cars do so, to represent the country as being free from those revo lutionary doctrines which have been lately attributed to the mass of the people, although we cannot affirm that the absence of such dangerous opinions has been caused by the late parliamentary enact ments. The country is in • political sense uni versally tranquil, for we cannot believe that the riotous dirposition lately evinced by some manufac turers near Leeds hail any the remotest connexion with any project of a political nature. The agita tion originated solely iu • desire to raise their wages, and proceeded to that degree of violence which may always be expected from men acting in a body upon any sudden impulse. The tumult was, how. ever, happily allayed, with no other ill consequences than a few broken heads and broken windows, and the removal of some riotous fellows from the looms, at which they were succeeded by men of a more humble and tractable disposition. The silence of the provincial Papers upon one point connected with the late proceedings iu Par liament, is deserving of much attention. The Bill for enabling a Justice of the Piece to search for or•►s has now been in operation for some weeks, and notwithstanding all the terrible accounts of private arming with which the Ministers and their agents alarmed the country, we have sot heard of the scovery of a singk pike or pistol ! This lets in some light upon the nature and character of the information upon which the Miuisters acted. It was easy fur a fellow to deceive a Magistrate or a Minister by • false account of pistols and pikes concealed in one house, of arms being fabricated in another, and of private drilling in a third; and from the tender regard which the laws of England displayed for the sacredness of "an Eng lishman's castle," the Magistrate or Minister could not detect the falsehood. This difficulty, however, lies been removed ; the house of any man in the country may now be rudely entered at any moment of day or night ; no matter how unseasonable or distressing, his lock. may be forced, the depositories of his most ►aluable property may be ransacked, the wainscoting of his rooms tiny be torn down, and the boards pulled up wader the pretence of search ing fur arms ; yet with all this extravagant power, which Ministers with post Nude threw into the hands of the Magistrates, to be used at the discre tion of any one of them, not one solitary pike-heed, sword, or pistol has been discovered! What has become of the depots, and the manufactories of arms ? An Act of Parliament might prevent a popular assembly, o► deter men from openly learn ing military evolutions, but we cannot attribute to an Act of Parliament the capacity of devouring or destroying whole depots and manufactories. It will be objected that perhaps the keepers of the arms have concealed them ; but what hoe become of the spies who had been confidentially apprised of the existence of these arms, and whose means of information cannot be supposed to be dimi nished ? Surely some of those valuable gentle men might be found as well capable of giving in telligence now respecting the places where these arms are deposited, as they were when these arms were first provided, and when the object for which they were 'opposed to be procured wait of a nature that would necessarily induce the keepers of them to be circomepect in preventing the nature of the property under their care from bring very publicly understood. Ve have received Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday last. The Chamber of Deputies assembled gm Thursday in bureaux, but no business was transacted except that of appointing Presidents and Secretaries, renewing the Committee of Peti tions, and engaging in a preparatory examination of the project or law relative to the definitive security of the purchasers of national &goring. —The Madrid Gazette contains an official account dispatched by General Mortim.o, of • surprise effected in the town of Barcelona by ten Royalist troopers, in which a few of the Independents were slain. The ten brave fellows escaped. How miserably barren of military fame the war that desolates South America must prove to the Royal Army, when a trifling incident like this is published with all the importance that belongs to events of m ignitutle ! The French Funds have risen considerably. The Five per Cents, on Thursday were 71 f. 60 c.— Batik Stock 1,4371 is Smuggling boo so much increased on the north east of Svotlandl, the Lords of the Treasury, we understand, have found it expedient to adopt means for rendering the preventive service more efficient on that coast.

A Bell has I•assed the House of Representatives of Georgia, repealing the law on usury. It makes no alteration in the prevent established legal inter est, and subjects the usurer to a mere nominal penalty, vie. the forfeiture of so much interest as exceeds eight per cent. This law, therefore, had for its object the sauctioniag of usury, and the penalty threatened was evidently a were cover to its real object. It appears by recent accounts from Cape Coast Castle, that that part of the coast of Africa was tested by swarms of pirates of the very worst de scription, who frequently, not content merely with plundering the vessel, murdered the crews also. This happened to • Dutch ship called the Drie Vrieseden, in Dexcore roads, which was boarded during the night, when the captain, mate, and all the crew were inhumanly butchered, and the ship was afterwards blown up by the marauders.

Her reception was, of course, enthusidostic. Her full end handsome figure commanded that at tention in the first imtatot, which her demeanour afterwards secured. Every thing is good in her qualifications except her voice: upon this even there is some difficulty in proosouticing sentence—foe though the eGet of her speech war monotony weak and infantosoe, she now and then druid into • tone which Indic-tied a firm sod mature voice. dif fering wholly from the scale which aloe adopted generally through the performance.

The statement recently made in ti t . House , r Commons by the Chancellor of the Exchey,,, respecting the testamentary power or atli IA I v France over their property vridesil in the Frrnc't funds, having canoed much anxiety in this ro,i.,• rr , we have been induced, for the satisfoction readers, to translate the following notice of the Cate from the Moniteu r. " The Chancellor of the Exchequer, in the Lt. Ling of Parliament of the Decerohei too, r , reported to have said, that according to the Fr.,, , laws, Englishmen possessing property in the Frrt,,:t foods could not dispose of it by will as they could by the laws of England, but that the 'tannin , ' or this portion of their socce.sion should be made ;11 conformity to the laws of Prance.' " The French law is neceissrily less known in Englund than in France. The errors which miv be committed upon this subject, even by the mmt eminent for their wisdom, might therefore elicit.. i.o surprise, hot it is for the interest of both coulants that they should be rectified. " The law of the 14th of July, 1819, was not acted to alter the pre-existing law : it only pave foreigners possessed of property situated in Frio., the power of disposing of this properly, which did not previously enjoy, except when their G vernments respectively granted by reciprocity oi l . same power to Frenchmen. It abrogated the 717 1% and the 914th Art, of the Civil Code. These Ar. tides related only to immoveable or rem, property, to property possessed in land.' (Art. 726.) " But the low established in Femme, (ruin whir', neither the 726th or the glith Art. of the Col , , AN the law of the 14th of J uly. 1819. derogated, that foreigners might, notwithstanding the dr••it d'aubaine, dispose, its the event of death, of the reifies that they possessed in France; that Ili-.r heirs, either testamentary or on intestacy. were ad. milted to these reales, which were remitted to then as if they had themselves been possesse4 of then. " Tons was founded upon a great nornher limo, too well known to render it necessary here to repeat them, and aid] regard to England, without speaking of !previous treaties, this right was •iiii more specially recognised by the 13t:. Art, of Treaty of Utrecht, and by the declaration io consequence, on the 19th of July, 1739. and re. gistered in the Pairliatnetit or Paris o the 4th of ♦ugust following, in these terms : ". it is permitted to the subjects of Great Dr;. lain to dispose of all their moveable effects whicit now or shall hereafter belong to them, on the .lay of their decease, in the territories and places sub ject to our dominion ; and whether they die testate or intestate, their heirs, executor*, or administra tors, residing in places subject to our dominion, or coming from elsewhere, although they be not en rolled in the number of our native subjects, may receive and peaceably enjoy the said property Ina effects, whatever they be, according to the lairs of Great Britain.' " It is then erroneous to suppose that the sae. cessions of Englishmen, with regard to their rester, and other moveable or personal property, shall he determined in France according to the Freshet' laws, unless the law of the 14th of July derogstes from the laws above cited. But the law of the 14th of July is far front pronouncing mach a (Irru ption. The first article gives to foreigners the right of succeeding. disposing, and purchasing iu the some manner as Frenchmen. " As to moveables, it gives nothing to those who had already the capacity of disposing or of pur chasing them. It gives nothing only to those a ho had not the power of succeeding to real property. to these it gives the power of disposing and of pur chasing in the same manner as if they were Freocle. men. In granting them a hew capacity it took lint from them a pre-existing capacity. This would have been contrary to the object of the law, which was to favour foreigners more than they were favour ed previously. 44 Could it he the provisions of the 2,1 A•tick of the law of the 14th of July, 1819, that inspired such terrors into the English capitalists in Frame ! This article, which relates to COWS in winch French heirs concur with foreigners, makes no alteration in the right which foreigners had to dispose of their reales, according to their own pleasure ; for the article relates only to immoveables, with regard to which it was deemed desirable to remove the exist ing incapacities. The article speaks of property situated is 'ranee, by which is understood immove able property, for although moveables might equally be understood by the word property, yet here property is particularised by the expression situated, which f it. Nodes, unless they be derived from land. are not annexed to the and; they are due in France, but are not situ a ted there; they are supposed to be in the hands of the pro prietor, who its effect possesses in his pule : Amine the deeds without which they could not be touched. His heirs take them in the ports : female, or receive them from his testamentary executor. They can enter into the partition of the moveable or personal property only, and this partition. by the law of France must be made according to the law of the country wherein the deceased had his domicile— the law of Euglaad, if the deceased was au English.. man. 'a Foreigners are Dow permitted to dispose by will of their property situated is France, pr iu
