IVe receive( this morning the Paris Papers of Monday last. The following are extracts " PARIS, MAY 24.—The King received a num ber of persons yesterday, who were presented to him. His Mjesty's health continues to improve. " The Coronation is, it is said, to take place in he new Church of Sainte Genevieve. " Sand still lives, but is extremely feeble, " The King received yesterday Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg, who was accompanied by Sir Charles Stuart, the English Ambassador. His Royal Highness afterwards dined with his Ma jesty and the Royal Fatuity. " It is said that 111atlame Catalani will not again appear before the Public, but that sbe in tends to fix hur residence in France with her hus band and family. " A subscription has been opened at Vienna to erect a Monument to the memory of the celebrat ed Haydn and another to that of Mozart. " The King received a visit yesterday from the . Duke of Orleans. " The Prince de Talleyrand was present at the King's Court yesterday. " BRUSSELS, MAY 21.—The Prince of Orange set out a few days since for Mons, where he will be joined , by his consort. They proceed front thence to visit several towns in Flanders. " VIENNA, MAY 12.-----The Emperor and Em press of Austria will not return here till the be ginning of August. After their arrival in Ger many they tiviil pass some time at the patrimonial estates of Weinziet I, Peiremburg, and Loubesech. BERLIN, MAY 15.--The grand spring ma noeuvres commenced the 13th instant, and will tAst till the 1711). The ftoops form a camp be tween 13ti lin and Spandan. " It appears that the French General Hulot d'Osery, who has passed through here on his way to retersburgh, is not charged with any tnissio❑ from' his Government. His only object in Russia relates to the affairs of his sister, Madame No- Trig Foricis.— , The Stocks have partially re covered from the late depression ; Consols this mornnig commenced at 674, went to 6131, anti then fell to 67i, but the Market looked well at the latter prices ; much business has been done ; this morning has been principally occupied in paying and receiving differences. No great defaulter was declared up to one o'clock. Exchequer Bills were done at Is. premium, and afterwards fell to 2s. discount. The Coinmissioners gave 6613 in Re duced, and were served by the Jobbers generally. Bank Stock rose 10 per Cent. this day. The limier-mentioned Stocks Open and Shut as follows : Consols, Sci June, Shut, and Open 16th luly. 5 per Cent. 2d June, Shut, and Open 21§t July. India Stock, 3d June, Shut, and Open 13th July. While we highly approve of the zeal, assidni!y, and labour which Ministers have devoted to the CURRENCY QUESTION, and earnestly hope that the measures suggested by the Committees of both [louses of Parliament may be pro dnetive of all the beneficial results wi►ich seem to be generally anticipated by all Par ties, with few exceptions, we certainly - can not approve of the manner in which the BANK DIRECTORS have been treated. They have 'been advised not to assume the characters of States men, Politicians, anti Philosophers, and have been pronounced by some,whO do not seem qualified to decide upon their talents or their knowledge, in- capable of takinv so cornprchensve a ric'w as was required on a subject not immediately wia)in their peculiar sphere ,of action. Bot why so Intelli gent and experienced tt Body of men should be supposed incompetent to form just opi nions on !questions of national policy, particu larly in matters of a pecuniary nature, it is diffi cult to conceive, awl abiurd to doubt. We may rather question whether, throughout the whole of the Community, a more respectable, judic•ious, and intelligent body of men conic! be found, or Who=e sentiments on all matters relating to the welfare of the Country, particularly on financial subjects, would be more entitled to attention anti respect. Out opinions on this subject are so well expressed in The Correspondent, a Dublin distinguished for good sense anti loyally, that we shat: present to our Readers the following per tinent, just, and candid extract from that Ve.per of the 21st instant':— The Press—or, rather, that part of it which put veys to Reformer or Whig—with cqual servility, has fastened its fangs upon the BANK of ENG.. LAND, upon which all the venom of calumny= i; discharged - in malic►ous eestacy—while the DI RIZCTORS of it arr., among other things, likened to the fraudulent conductors of the South Sea Bubble. • " It is fairly observed, in defence of this im portant and honourable Institution, the Bank, that it is, in the first place, an OPEN CORPOR,ATION. Any person possessing a hundred pounds may be come a Proprietor. Bank Stock is as much a Pith- lie Stock as Consols are ; the Directors are inure stewards, managing the concerns of the Proprie- tors; they are not chosen on account of bolding a greater quantity of Bank Stock than any other Proprietors ; but solely for their pre-eminent ta lents, experience, and respectability. They ve►y often possess no more than the mere amount of Bank Stock necessary as a qualification, whilst the bulk of their fortune is invested in other semi ties or undertakings ; and, consequently, thdr personal interest, in any question between the Public and the Bank, is almost always on the side of the former. " But they feel th'lt the honour done them by their fellow-citizens, in cOmmitting to, them Yo im- portant a trust, imposes on them a most delicate and important ditty. This duty they hav,e ever discharged %%hit the utmost benefit to the cum- munity at large. They have assisted the Go vernment whetithey saw t hat such assistance was ab solutely necessary to the security of the Stare, and consequently of all the property in the ;state ; but they have often, with great firmness, resisted the demands of Ministers, ►wen ti4ey conceived that their duty to the Proprietors required them so to do." The Morning Chronicle deserves some respect at least for the steadiness of its attachment to Mr. Fox, hot we cannot allow it to praise him at the expense of others, or upon fa :se foundatiotals. II says, this day, " How fortunate it wolth'i have been for the Empire if the truth and wisdom of his b.ic trh e 3 bad been acted ;limn Aer, fits: promulged." But can it be forgotten that Mr. Fox wanted us to fraternize with the RevotutienarY Government of France, which, 01°10) from its eery nature calculated to be only temporary.as to its members, acted in a manner ruinous to that country, and 'alarming to all Europe ? Such were the truth and wisdom of his dot trines ! !! Astnuelt . error and falsehood is there in The Chronicle's assertion this day, ttiat Ministers " involved. us in the War." The British Government , it is well known, did ki;l it could to avoid a War, till the ambition, the' insolence, the injustice, the oppression, and violation of treaties with countlies amicably connected with us, as well as the peculiar outrages to Great Buitain, rendered war as unavoidable on our part, for the sake of the national honour . as well as interest, as it was glorious in its progress, and honourable in its result to the wliole civilized world. TUE PITT CLUB.—Tire Committee for ma' paging the Annual CelebrAtion on the Birth -day' , of our illustrious Statesman 'have resolved, it seems, not to print any more poetical contribu tions on the occasion. This we conceive to be proof of judicious economy, as the merits and the services of the revered Patriot and upright • Minister sufficiently spe,k for themselves, and , the members of an lostitation which does 50 ~truch honour to themselves and the Country, can assuredly require no other stimulus titan full con-' viction of the justness of his principles, of the import,±nt benefits which the Empire and a ll Europe 'rave derived from those principles, and a heartfelt veneration for his character and metaory. RENNETT.—Thi morning, at the Old Bailey Court, the parties in this prosecution had n otioe given them, that this person's trial would take Mace to-morrow morning, at ten precisely. The indictment charges him with " stealing, taking , and carrying away, a wale child, %% it!) intert to derive, and with depriving, the parents of the possession thereof." He is edit) indicted for fe-, lonously carrying away a certain female child. Jamaica Papers of the 221 of March state, thag . private letters bad been received in Kingston,. stating, that BoLtvAtt had under his conintaini 15,000 tror.ps, of which 6000 were British, and that his retreat was for the purpose of inducing Mottmco to cross the Orinoco, while A aTIG.s went up that river with a strong force in e:o0 4 . boats, to cut off his retreat, and thus place hint between two armies. BOLIN , \II has crossed 111 , f Orihoeo, and hcrs are confidently entirzahnti that the manoeuvre would prove successful. The Wateyord Mirror, of the 22a instant, states, that tranquillity lys been perfectly re• stored in that chy. 'lwo persons charged with riotously assembling wil b others, on the I ith• were tied on the 2.14 t, found guilty, and ordere4, to he imprisoned for short terms. The Earl of St. VINCENT arrived at boveti from France on Monday.

MELANctioLv ACCIDENTs,—On .F,iday one of the Kit kcaldy pinnaces, in going out of Leith harbour, a tittle after ,ten o'clock, was upset bi .3 heavy sea, when the crew, consisting of font', men, were unfortunately drowned.
