PARIS PAPERS. PARIS, APRIL 20. Ytiterday Lord Wellington went to the Thuil lerie« to pay his respects to the King ; also to their Royal Highnesses Monsieur and Madame, and the Duke D'Angouletite. We lately announced, on the antliority of the Swiss Journals, that the Prince Jablonwsky (charged to claim the mortal remains of Kosciusko), had failed in his mission. The Gazette of Lausanne, on the contrary, states, that the body of the Polish General has been conveyed from Stature to Poland, accompanied by the Prince Jablonwsky and M. Zeltner of Soleure, the intimate friend of the de ceased. The Emperor of Russia ha. designated the town of Cracow as the depository of his remains, and it was this Monarch, himself, who caused a proposition to be made to the Government of Poland, tint a monument should be erected to his memory. . DRESDEN, APRIL 7. The Commis ion charged with the demolitions, continue engaged in directing the destruction of our fortifications. No traces remain of the works that the French Army constructed in 1013, in the skirts of the new town (upon the right beak of the Elbe) ; the major part of the ancient works have been demolished. No demolitions have been made in the old town; we are assured. ho.‘. ever, that the walls which enclose that part of Dresden, will be levelled. IRON, Arm!. 7. EXTRACT Or A LETTER FROM MADRID.

LONDON, • FRIDAY. Aram 24, The proceedings in Parliament this week have at length given to the public the whole of the minis terial schenies for raising the supply of the present year, and it is easy to collect, from their tendency, the unwillingness evinced by the CUANCELLoR of the EXCHEQUER to reveal any part of them, until the principal items of the expenditure had been sanctioned by the Legislature. We can readily believe that some apprehensions might have been entertained lest Parliament should hesitate to vote a sum of nearly 9,000,000/. to the army, and 6,456,8001. to the navy, if they had at the same time been aware of the necessity thence resulting of creating a loan of 14,0251,000% in the fourth year of profound peace. The mode of raising this loan, our readers are aware, is by transferring stock from the 3 per cents. into a new stock of 3 . 1,-the holders paying to the Government for the difference of interest the sum of 111.—and by funding Exchequer bills, as we have already detailed to our readers. Li this scheme there is nothiug mote remarkable than the utter impossibility of regarding it as a permanent plan of finance, to which the Treasury and the country may look with confidence ass future means of supporting our immense establishments ;—the whole is evidently but a temporary expedient, cal culated solely to prolong a system of wasteful and dangerous extravagance, and to increase the em barrassments of the celuntry. This consideration is the more important, from the certainty that the present is the permanent military peace establish ment ; for although in the last year there was a reduction in the expenses of the army to the amount of about 400,0001. and in the expenses of the navy of about 1,000,000/. yet, by Earl EATHURST's speech upon this subject in the House of Lords, all hope is precluded of any further reduction in the military force on the home establishment ; mod the navy is already so much cut down, that although in the civil de partment there are many charges wholly unneces sary, we are almost afraid to call for retrenchment, lest, from what we have already witnessed, it might be introduced in the wrong place, and the defence and safety of the empire be sacrificed to the pride of office and the patronage of Ministers. The question for the consideration of the country then is, whether it will be satisfied in a time of profound peace to suffer the continuance of a system which will require an mutual loan of from twelve to 14,000,000/. ? The loan of the present year, we are ready to admit, although contracted at the high rate of four and a half per cent. is free from much of the inconvenience and loss attendant on such modes of obtaining money ; but even this miserable resource cannot be rendered available in future sears, and all temporary expedients being ex hausted, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER will find it necessary, as formerly, to enter the market, acid there subject the country to the schemes of stock-jobbers, and to the ruin which must wait on such transactions. With re spect to the present loan, however, it cannot he overlooked that although we now contract to p y only 4 per cent. yet it is very probable that what we borrow nt 90 will he paid at 100, making a dif ference of 10 per cent. in the capital, in the same manner as we are now paying an increase of more than 20 per cent, upon the money borrowed during the war, and lavished with all the thoughtlessness of prodigality. The funding of Exchequer bills has long ap peared to us extremely desirable; but many of the advantages resulting from the operation have been in the present instance countervailed by the high rate at which it has beets accomplished. Who could have believed that when Exchequer bills were to be pur chased in the market at about three per cent. the Treasury would bare chosen to fund them at 79, in a stock which every device is practised to elevate, and which will most probably, at no very distant period, mount to 90 ? The improvidence evinced by Ministers in their anode of raising money is no less censurable than their extravagance in spending it. fly the union of both they have reduced the country to a state of extreme depression, which they appear determined to coot' ; they have created sin artificial system wherein all pre-existing relations have ceased to be discernible, but which is so totally inconsistent either with the Isursour or prosperity of Great Britain, that, according to'their own confession in the case of the Bank Restriction, the scheme of stir political Government and tolerant{ policy is more directly under the control of the mea sures adopted by Foreign Powers than of our native Legislature ! This is a humiliating confession, and, in our maid, leaves but one course for this country to adopt, had that is, to close a system • of intrigue end deception by—humbly praying. the PRINVE RECANT to intrust the Government to hands more capable thirst those of his preseut Ministers. blades Papers to the bth or November have reached torus.

The Insolvent Debtors' Court ant yesterday and heard several oppositions—they were chit fly unim portant. A gentleman named Kingston was oppotd by Mr. ADOLPHUS. The Learned COMISeI eX3lllllled Mr. Kingston at Borne letigili, as to ios property. The latter stated, that it was two years anice he had a carria,, ,, e at Z . Vlessrs. Nlaberley's. That carriage; wa• still in the possession of Mrs. Kingston (his wile), whose private property it was, hieing been given to her before her marriage by her father; her jewels, lace,. &e. were given in the Caine manner, and were exclusively her own property. He was, therefore, of opinion, that lie was not called upon to inseit them in his schedule. There was also a property in Ilertfordahire, which 11;141 been Oen to him by his father, hut it was in the hunch, of trus tees to pay off annuities, with which it was encum bered.

As an actress, her abilities were not put to the test—but, as a singer, ht r power's wet e frequently called forth—and she- exerted them with too much taste, feeling, and juriguletit, not to se cure the unanimous applause of the Ilex first song, " Daughter of l'roth," one of the prettiest compositions in the uirce, she exe cuted in a style of surpassing sweetness. Nor can we forget the appeal to Afard o —'. ! Ah, turn, my only dear!" in which art and nattire— science and passion—were exquisitel e•iiihiiird, and formed a beautiful whole. Mr. T. Comer:, as Sir John Manly, sang with great freedom and bitch iness. Mrs. BLAND, as Cicely, had bei• rod pretty airs (one of them, the Scotch air, •• Down the burn Dacy Love,) which she sang dele.tlitfully. The original music, by Mr. l-loox, merits a very high degree of praise. Many . of the symplusuiea are really beautiful. The opening churns is a cont. position of extraordinary merit. We remarked, in the progress of the piece, it few imitations of Italian, and one or two of Scotch, musii.. They were judiciously introduced, and had a good effect.
