Trench Papers of Tuesday, received this morn ing, scarcely contain one paragraph worthy of selection. The German Papers received this morning - nre filled with speculations respecting new ten itori4l arrangements on the Continent, to conclude the matters of this kiwi not determined by the Treaty of Paris ; but, as it is well observed, it is impossi ble to estimate the accuracy of these statements While /he negociations (kept very secret) are ending, vt'e shall not detain our Readers further than to refer to the Extracts under our usual head. The firFt sitt*Oig of the Committee of the House of commons on the Depression of Agriculture took place last night.

DUPIN, the Defender ot Sir ROBERT WIL SON, and Messrs'.•l3auca and nuTeinNsox, tl►ey have been officially transmitted to London, and answered by three English Lawyets in the follOw lug Letter addressed to Lord CASTLEiItPAGIL:•--'':.. " MY Lonn,—We have, had the honour 6f receiving the orders of your Lordship by a letter from dated the 7th, transmitting to us several papers from Sir .Charles Stuart, his Majesty's Ambassador at the Court of France, re halve to the course of proceeding which it is proptised to adopt against Sir Robert Wilson, Messrs. Brace andliutch knoll, and to which our attention is chiefly cal ts<l with re hition to the questions which conclude the Statement of M. .Dupin. Your Lordship calls upon us to furnish the official statement required in answer to these questions. Eager to obey your Lordship's orders, we have the honour of observing, that when a foreigner is accused of.a crime or offence, against the law of England, he is tried according to the rules of that law—his guilt or innocenqe is established according to, the established maxims of the Y.nglish With respect to the right of being tried by a Jury, com posed partly of English, anti partly of foreigners, this right is secured to the accused by the Statute 20th Edward 111. chap. la, and formally recognized by the Statute-Bth lieury . VI chtqr. 49. " When a foreigner under,accusatiOn is called upon to de fend himself against the charges brought agai..st him, he has the right of demanding that the Jury by wbonOte is to be tried, shall be composed half of foreigners, and half of Eng lish subjects. It is nut necessary that the foreigners should be of the same / country with the accused; if, however, a suf ficient number of the same country are to be found within the .Bailiwick of Officer charged with returning the Jury Panuel, they are always ch•sseu preference. If it should happerOhat there are not a sufficient number of foreigners of the same conntry, with the accused, the nurub‘it may be com pleted by means of English subjects. It is the Sheriff, or the Officer whose duty it is to return the Jury Paunch, who also returns the list of foreign Jurors, and he ought to take care to select twelve of every description, in order that six of each twelve may he chOsen by ballot to serve on Juries. lt,is not necessary that the foreign Jorylnan , should have the sarue-qualitication with regard to property as the English Juryman.. This is provided for by the statute of Henry VI. to which we hate alluded., ei If a foreigner'and an Englishman are ineludad,,in the snake indictment, and the former ►tcmands ,a Jury of : half aliens ) . * he persons accused may be tried separately, in order to secure to the foreigner the advantage of a Jury of half aliens, and to the Englishman that of an English Jury. " Such is the general principle established by the statutes of which mention has been made. The,statnte, however, of Ist Philip and Mary, chap. 10, which enacts that all proceed ing,s in treason should he prOsecoted according to the Common Law, has rvpeale the statute of latli EdWard 111. and taken away this privilege of a Jury half alien's, in eases of high treason. _ It is SU Stated in Lord Pleas of the 'Crown, 1, 'page Si I; and in the cases there idled. " In all the proceedings which take place in England, whatever may be their nature, it letters cir written p4ers in a foreign language are prodneed, they are translated by an interpreter, who is sworn to interpret,, id translate fairly and truly. " We believe we have answered all the (questions which have been proposed to us in the' mare of Sir Hubert Wilson, Messrs. Bruce and Ilotchinson and we' have the honour, ' (Signed) " CH i ItIST.

A plan of the following sort would be as use ful and amusing , in London as in Bretagne : " PARIS, MAP Lit 18.—A Prefect of Bretagne has employed a eery simple method to demonstrate to.the people of his de- Partnient the absurdity of the reports that were Circulated.

THE PIItNCE REOENT.—In consequence of the long indisposition of the PRINCE REGENT, and the arrival of his ,Royal Highness in Lundon on Wednesday night, Carlton Honse was yesterday thronged from soon after ten o'clock till near six ; the company %vas so numerous 1 , 1,t one time that the doors of the Grand Hall were thrown open to admit the inquirers. They consisted of the Royal Dukes, the Cabinct Ministers, 84e. &c. &c., Thu Regent gave long private audienc‘s to the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Liverpool, Lord Castle reagh, &c. At six o'clock his Royal Highness went to dine with her Majesty and his Royal .Sisters at the Queen's 'Palace, attended by fit Betijamiu Bloomfield. In the etening her Ma jesty htni a select party at the Palace.

Her MAJESTY returns to leitindsor for two, or three daxs, and will , •be in town again early next week. There will certainly be a Drawing on Thursday , which is expected , to be very brilliant.

It was a wel come intervention, although, if the character of Lila is excepted, there c o ul d scarcely be a snore heavy and uninteresting performance. It was the occasion of intrOdueing Mrs. DwttoNs 'to the stage again, after her very long and dangerous illness, of which, happily for the public and the Lady, there are, no traces left i her acting was lively without boldness ; • and indeed the arch ness and vivacity of her playing, amid the dimness of talent around her, shewed " like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear." There was an uncomtnan sweetness of int:ululation in her tones of singing, and an extieution that!, however wonckrfully rapid, never o'rrstept the modesty Of judgment and taste. True criticism is 'more eager to pass by titan to condemn, where its counsel *wild be hopeless of reformatinn ; it is better, therefore, to " be dumb to all interrogation," as - to the rest of the petformers The pleasant Afterpiece of What Next P closed the evening's, entertainment.
