PARIS PAPERS. [From the Journal des Debats of Thursday.] TO THE EDITOR. " PARIS, JUNE 9.—Sir, a circumstance unfore - seen, and impossible to foresee, .compelled the Quotidienne to appear to-day without an article 'Which continues to shew the line of independence and moderation which its founder, M. Michaud, thought he had traced out for it for ever. When I repaired to the office at midnight to satisfy myself that the „leurnal was printed in the manner that I lied pointed out, I tought in vain for the article Doctrines - " which was to be in •Seiteds The copy had been carried off. The responsible Edi tor replied, that he had received art order not to sign the Jour nal, if it contained a single article in which the name of M. de • Chateaubriand was mentioned. The homage which you pay, -Sir, to the illustrious StatesAian, whose loss is regretted by the whole of Royalist France, assures me that you will insert in your Journal a reclamation against an order which I am sure -AL Michaud never gave; and hereafter the tribunals will de cide the question which has arisen', and give the greatest publi -eity to all.the facts connected with this afildr. "-I am, Sir, &c. " J. B. A. SOULIE, " Principal Editor of the Quotidienne." On this subject we have learnt that M. Henri shnon, respon. • Bible Editor of the Quotidienne, is the proprietor of the press which prints that paper; he is moreover entrusted with the au thority of a M. de Bonneau, who has purchased five-twelfths of the Quotidienne. This M. de Bonneau is said only to lend l is name, the real proprietor being a man of illustrious birth, who speculates in newspapers. It was M. Simon who received, as we are informed by M. Soulie, the order not to insert the ename of Chateaubriand. It is somewhat curious to recollect that Fottehe proscribed the same name, the influence of which he dreaded. We pity Royalist Ministers who are reduced to imitate so bad an example. Whence arise these unhappy divi sions ? M. de Villele, while he despises certain evil Counsel lors, too ofte n l en d s them his ear. He gives himself up too much to wounded self-love and impotent anger. He is very skilful as a man of business, but not clever as a Statesman. Having passed his life in the Colonies, he knows little of France, and nothing of Europe. He rests more on physical power than on that moral power which is always victorious in • the long run, and which cannot be despisediwith impunity. Let us hope that lie may become more enlightened. [From'the Gazette de France.] The safety of France, and the dignity of the Throne, do not e depend on retaining one man in the Ministry. If the ad . ministrative importance of M. de Chateaubriand had been • so great as the Journal des Drbats would persuade its -readers ' there can he no doubt his colleague would have been obliged to receive the law from him, and give way to his -.influence. Far from this, the Noble Peer did not subdue to his opinions the Colleagues who have managed the State with him, • but on the contrary they admitted him to share the management with them. They called him to the Council, not to oppose, but to support the measures submitted to the Chambers. -If the Noble " Peer entered the Council with the intention of making the - other Ministers adopt his opinions, and the hope of doing-this . was the rule of his conduct-if this intention, never successful, had separated him from those with whom he ought to have made common cause--if he did not confine himself to 'oppo - sition in the Council, and did not always keep secret con fidential discussions, may we not say that the Minister for 'Foreign Affairs had ceased for a long time to make one of the Administration-a-that his own opposition had separated him _ from his Colleagues, and that the Royal Ordinance had only carried into effect a position which the Illinister had chosen for himself. [From the Journal de Paris.] Pants, JUNE 10.-We do not recollect that M. de Chateau-. hriand ever spoke extempore, either as a Peer or as a ?Minister, either in the Opposition or in the Ministry ; the Tribune has •no other influence but that of extempore speaking. This Ex , illinister is not therefore reproached with not having spoken for the Law, but with not having written either for it or against - it, according to his conviction. Literary amateurs must be dis • pleased with him for having refused them a good pamphlet. . , [From the Constitutionnel.] PARTS, JUNE'lO—Th e Journal des D;:bois is " astonished • at the inconceivable pride of-those who vrocured the ordinance .of June 6th ' or their profound ignorance of public opinion."- .The Journal des Debats which seems to have such correct notions of politeness, perhaps does not display it in the passage, - and ie governed by anger. There is neither ignoranceof pub lic opinion, nor pride in a Minister, who has been victorious in an intestine warfare ; but only a desire to get rid of a col ' league not attached to his views, and strike a severe blow to •• teach others in whose hands the power is lodged. Public • .opieion has nothing to do with the matter. If it was consult ed, it would probably reject, to use the midest phrase, the systems of Go rernment which have been adopted, and which -ucent to us irreconcileable with public liberty and the national interest. There is no conflict of opinions or principles. but only . a dispute for pre-eminenc-a contest between the different in • terests of two individuals. It would be difficult to make a gene ral question out of it. But will M. de Vill4le's victory be as decisive as it appears ? will it enable him to subdue the storm which another opposition is gathering in his path ? Already the journal des Debar, which has for a long time been forgetful of .its name, already announces, with a threatening tone, that it is ,going to enter the lists; the Quotidienne has raised the war-cry, and every thing indicates that the champions of 111. de Chateau. briand will push their attacks vigorously. The defence ap parently will not be equal to the attack; the batteries of the Gazette, and of the Drapeau Blanc, are very weak. M. de "Villele can only sustain himself by the septennality,-this will 44se his strong hold, and M. de Chateaubriand erected it for him. As every one tries to find out the secret causes of M. de Clia teau brie:Ara sudden disgrace, and among others the following ie stated When the law for the reduction was rejected, M. e.de Chateaubriand did not doubt but the fall of M. de Villele . would follow. He persuaded himself that he should be placed at the head of affairs, and even selected the persons whom he intended to introduce into the new administration he - expected to be ordered to organize. As these plans were discovered, the very contrary event happened which he anticipated. (-From the ronstitutionnel of Friday.) PARTS, JUNE 11.-We have already announced rhe-torn mencement of hostilities between Journals which have till now held the same opinions, used the same language, praised the -same men and defended the same measures. • The unexpected disgrace of M. de Chateaubriand was the cause or the pretext lor this civil war. But at the very commencement the Quoti dienne has been-put hors-de combat, and its principal Editor 91. .Sottlie, left on the:field .olbattle. The Journal des Debats now stands alone ; we see indeed that it would not reject auxiliaries, -and we should be disposed ourselves to offer it assistance, but what reasons could we-Offer to our astonished readers for .undertaking the defence of M. de Chateaubriand ? The aristocratic drama is on the scene, one-person more or less Will not prevent the 'denouement. The presence of M. de Chateaubriand would .have made no alteration in the intentions and is the parts of the actors, and his absence will not alter the catastrophe. All the other Ministerial Journals have attacked the vanquished.- %ven the Btoile has given him a kick. This is the fate of all dismissed Ministers. Those who addressed them over-night with flattery and incense are the most ardent in the morning to insult them. They find.:generosity and justice only in those (who opposed not the individuals, but false doctrines and a .mischievous system of administration. • ( From the Journal des Debats M. de Chateaubriand, finding himself placed by the side of a -man of insatiable ambition, who feared every thing splendid, -and could not suffer a rival, confined himself strictly to his ministerial duties. He was only occupied in concealing his g lory, in avoiding, on every occasion, to excite jealousy and ameasiness in the President of the Council. He did not wish -that the Royalists should be divided by his means, and .though he was frequently informed that his political existence was threatened, out of love for peace, he bore what no other Mini ter would ever have put up with. He never laboured secretly against Made Villele, and :it is only necessary to know him to be convinced. that every kind of crooked conduct is foreign to his character. Ile has always attacked his enemies in front.- Those who have given the blow may now take the respoasibility. Al. de Villele constituted the physical force, and 111. de Cha teaubriand the moral power of the Ministry. Men of business, those acquinted with the routine of administration, attached themselves to M. de Villele ; statesmen, those who saw in society something mote than mere brute matter and its working attached themselves to the latter. M. de Villele will now see what a Ministry is without talent, and which is forsaken by public opinion. it appears from the: silence of the Quotidienne that the Edi tors I ave not been table to get rid of the veto of M. Simon. • ( Front the Courier Francais.) makingll.AllllB JUNE 11.-since the details of th e d ou bl e a ttempt at ' a Courear Revolution in Portugal have been brought 'before the public, there has been but one opinion of the odious character of the object to be attained by it, and. the means employed. The most fanatical n :Journals felt the difficulty of their situation, and r need the task of justifying the re volt of a son against his father and Sovereigin Satisfied with the indulgence sh e ,„ y merely Y the Monarch to the prin cipal criminal , the published the official accounts, and carefully concealed the. disappoint men t w hi c h t h e felt at the chec k an d punisnment received by the most partizans of absolute power and zealous Bot dela of re igious intolerance.., . aneze enters not hesitate to ex- Less discreet, the Men . c0r .. ? , 1 regret at tne t-ue ot press its Tr stinger the. hie . the Lking, caused the t r e Isehehieh put in eatuctiou Of seve- ral individuals, and was intended to replunge the Peninsula in darkness and fanaticism. The article in which the Memorial Bortleiais expresses its regret is too curious to be passed over. It will enable us to measure the wishes and the hopes which are still entertained by a certain party, notwithstanding their defeat at Lisbon. " A thick cloud," it says, " seems still to cover the true cause of the events which have occurred at Lisbon. It - may,' however, be asserted that this.species of revolution of which the Journals have spoken in such different manners, would have brought about extraordinary things if it had been complet ed ; but Providence had ordered it differently.. .There exist in Portugal, as in Spain, two very distinct parties among the Royalists. The first desires to restore the ancient regime, and the second wishes to have a liberal - Monarchy. In Portugal the Queen, Don Miguel, the Patriarch of the Indies, and the High Clergy, were at the head of the former; and in Spain the Infant Don Carlos and his wife, daughter of the Queen of Portugal, D. Victor Saez, Mataflorida, and others. —The other was headed, in Portugal, by the Marquis of Palmella ; and in Spain, by M. Ugarte, a person entirely de voted to Russia, and who, at the present moment, executes the secret orders of M. Pozzi di Borgo. The former desires the re-establishment of the Inquisition, and the extirpation of all sects which are the enemies of Monarchy, and the prompt and Severe punishment of the Revolutionists. The latter desires to dress in a modern garb two ancient Monarchies, to be mild to wards the guilty, and show an example of tolerance. The former party is the most numerous and the most powerful, for it is composed of the clergy and the mass of the people. The same thing which has happened in Portugal, would have taken place in Spain, but for the presence of the Army of Occupation; and in the former kingdom the blow only failed, because the Infant was unable to bend the will of his father, who is much attach ed to Palmella, and to the Diplomatic Corps. This deter mined the young Prince to give in to the will of the King, that he might not be guilty of disobedience. The fire, however, still remains concealed under the ashes, and it is to be feared that sooner or later we shall see the attempt renewed which Lisbon has witnessed." • _ We leave our readers to weigh all the expressions of this extraordinary article. Disappointment is visible at every line and at every word. It is easy to see by the, last ph rase , though the thought is somewhat disguised, that the abso lute power men do not regard themselves as defeated i n t h e Peninsula, and in their eyes the victory is not lost but post poned. [From the Etoile, dated Saturday.] VIENNA, JUNE I.—The following is extracted from the Austrian Observer of this date : " An Arabian Fanatic has appeared in -Upper Egypt, who gives himself out for the Visir, or the Precursor of the Pro phet El Mokodi, who died a thousand years ago. This Chief has collected a numerous band under his standard, and has marched from Hossein to Kinnsh on the Nile, of which he has made himself master. The Pacha has caused the corps of • troops which occupied Sioul to march against him, and hopes to stop his progress : • " Such i; piUbably the origin of the report of an invasion of - Egypt by the Wechabites. As for the pretended surprise of the citadel of Cairo, by the ancient Chief of the Ai snaelukes ( I bra ham Bay), there is no mention of it in the letters of the 7th of April, though this event was stated to have happened on the 26th March. " TRIESTE, MAT 21.---Letters from Corfu of the 12th of this month relate that an English vessel had been attacked in the Gulf of hlissolonghi by four Barbary vessels. It would have become their prey, but for the sudden appearance of three Greek vessels which succoured it, and even took an Algerine vessel; the others took refuge at Lepanto."—(dugsuiret Gazette.) PARIS, JUNE 11.—It is said, that ikl. Bertin de Vaux, one of the proprietors of the Journal des Debate, has given in his resignation of the office of Councillor of State, and that it has been refused. Letters from Palermo say, that a convoy, escorted by an Eng lish frigate, has been attacked on the coasts of Scilly by an Algerine frigate. After an obstinate combat of eight hours, the frigate of the Barbarians was captured.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OFCOMMONS,'SATIIRDAY, Juxr. 12. The SPEAKER took the chair at a quarter before 4 o'clock. The Southwark Bridge Exchequer Bill passed through a Com mittee, and the Report ordered to be r:eeived on Monday.— Messengers from the House of Lords decided their Lordships' assent to the Bill for giving efFect to Mr. Payne Knight's Donation of Coins, &c. to the British 11lusenni. WAREHOUSING BILL (IRELAND.) Mr. HERRIES moved the further consideration of this bill in Committee. The house having gone into the Committee, the Hon. Member stated the nature and object of the measure. —There were, he observed, several warehouses, wharfs, docks, and quays, in Ireland, belonging to the Government, which Were managed and directed by the officers of the Crown. There were several of the same kind in Engl an d ; b ut i nstea d o f b e i ng superintended by the officers of the Cro wn , t h e y were l e t out to private individuals or companies, by whom the several dues were received. The object of the present bill was to enable the Commissioners of Customs to let out or sell th ose d oc k s, w h ar f s, quays, and warehouses, to individuals . or co m p an i es; an d i t also went to regulate the amount of the fees and dues which should be received on goods and merchandises deposited there. Upon this subject very considerable misapprehension had.gar. a abroad in Ireland. It was imagined by very many, that the bill was intended to establish increased dues, or to compel mer chants to bring their goods to particular wharfs and stores._ This was quite a mistake. The dues to he paid would be five per cent. lower than that paid in similar docks, wharh, or quays in England ; and it was never intended to oblige merchants to bring their goods to those depots rather than any other : upon this, - they would be left entirely to their =own choice. Some statements of a very erroneous nature had appeared in some of the Irish papers, but they entirely misrepresented the facts.— In order to give time for parties concerned to make their ar rangements, the operation of this bill would be put oil . till the 10th October. Mr. C. H. HUTCHINSON was very glad to bear.the state ment made by the Hon. Gentleman on this subject, which cer tainly was, as far -as he had gene, satisfactory. He would, however, suggest. to him, as it could make very little difference in point of time, the propriety of allowing the operation of the measure to stand over till January or February, at which time Parliament would meet. Sir H. PARNELL, Sir N. COLTITURST, Mr. GRATTAN, -and Colonel 13AGwELL expressed themselves satisfied with the explanations given by the Hon. Member, and would not now oppose the measure. The House then resumed ; the report was received and agreed to, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time on Monday. SUPERANU.ATION FUND BILL. Mr. S. WORTLEY moved that the House do resolve it self into a Committee on this Bill. Mr. BANKES begged to know what was the amount of the sums already paid to this fund, and which it was the object of the present Bill to dispense with. Mr. S. WORTLEY answered to 50,0001. Mr. BANKES thought ther e was no necessity for throwing such a burden on the country. He did not see why clerks in public offices should have a fund provided for them at the ex pence of the country—why they should be put in a better situa tion than clerks in merchants' offices, or tradesmen—or why they should not be called upon to make that provision for sick ness and old age which all provident men yould do from the savings of their income. In conclusion he moved as an amend ment, the Bill be committed that day month. Mr. MA BERLY would give his cordial support to the Bill. He thought that the public servants were entitled to a provision at the expence of their country after a faithful service of many years. The great object of holding out those advantages to the servants of the public, was to induce along and faithful service, and it could not be expected that such services could be given unless a proportionate advantage were held out. Lord BINNING said, that this Bill would not have the effect of laying a new impost of 50,000/. upon the country. It would only place the persons employed in public offices in the same situation with respect to the superannuation fund in which they were before the Act of 1822. It was a fact that many of the public servants were but very indifferently provided for in case of superannuation. This was peculiarly the case with the clerks of the India Board, who were much worse provided for than those in several other public departments, the Board not having the power of increasing the superannuation allowance 'in proportion to the value and importance of their services.— While he was upon this subject, he could not, in justice, pass over the merits of one individual who lately retired from the India Board on a superannuation. This gentleman, Mr. Cumming, after having serried thirty-one years in the office, of which he was latterly the head cler k , and after having rendered ' the most important services to his country by his indefati gable exertions and great talents, retired about a year or two ago, with his nerves in a very shattered state-from the effect of constant application to business, and yet with no greater com pensation for his services than he would have been entitled to had he done no more than attend the routine business of the office in the usual office hours. He had said thus rnuchiu-the hope that the great merits of this gentleman might not be passed over. Mr. Ttl.ei NT expressed his cordial satisfaction at the prin ciple of a Bill which recognized the reward so justly due to meritorious, public servants. Mr. S. saronTLE also defended this Bill on principle. Mr. T. WILSON, said, that the Bill was founded in justice, and well entitled , to the support which it had received from both sides of the House. The amendment Was then negatived without a division, and the Bill passed through a Committee. -The - house resumed, the Report was received, and.ordered to be taken into further consideration on Monday next. IRISH BUTTER BILL. Mr. T. WILSON moved the Order of the Day for commit ting the Irish Butter Bill. Sir 11. PARNELL complained of fixing the discussion upon this Bill, which had excited so much opposition from the Irish trade, upofl a day when a fall attendance of members was not to be expected. Mr. T. WILSON said, that he had once before postponed the Bill to a ccommodate Ilon. Members, and it was unreason able to call upon him for further delay.. Colonel BAQWELL declared that the Bill was much op posed by those engaged in the butter trade in Ireland, and ought not to be pressed on the eve of a Parliamentary prorogation. Mr. W. WILLIAMS also opposed the Bill. Mr. C. 11. HUTCHINSON strongly contended for the post ponement, for the purposeof enabling those who were interested in Ireland to state their case. Mr. S. RICE and Mr. GRATTAN pressed a similar rea son for postponement upon th e cons id erat i on of t h e h ouse. Mr. THOMAS WILSON, under these circumstances con sented to the postpones Sir GEORGE 'HILL brought up the Report of the COM .mittee on the 31agistratee (Ireland) Indemnity Bill. Mr. GRATTAN and Mr. S. RICE objected to the princi ple of the Bill. The Itcport was received, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time on Monday next (to-d a y). On the motion of Mr. W. WILLIAMS, a return was ordered of the quantity of refined sugar exported from England and Scotland in the year 1823. Mr. S. It ICE brought up the Irkai . Annuity which was received, and the Bill ordered for a third' reading on Monday next (to.day.)—Adjourned. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

This was an indictment for alleged perjury, on an affidaril used on a motion to . this Court for a rule to restrain a receio for 7201., given by the defendant's late partner, Mr. Thomas Claughton ; and a judgment entered up on a warrant of a ttor• ney taken in his name and by his direction, being set up in has of two actions brought by the defendant and his partners againal a miller, near Warrington, of the name of Dumbell, for th° recovery of two sums of 6991. and 20/.

Mr. GURNEY stated this was an action brought by the /bird' ' tiff, a maltster, of Portsmouth, against the defendant. an Attorney of that town, for attributing the crime of fcrgtif t° him, plaintiff; and otherwise defaming his character. 'Thu Learned Counsel called one witn.ss to substantiate the charge,: Mr.. Markham, a Messenger of Bankruptcy, who state" that the defendant asked him, in the course of conversation in January last, if he knew what the plaintiff had done Witness said, " No ;" to which defendant replied, then I tell you he has committed forgery, and 1 intend to have him tried for it. Words of this kind and to the same intent witness had heard the defendant s ay before ; never heard hio say any thing about bills drawn by the plaintiff. Mr. SCARLETT, for the defence, called witnesses to prove" that the expressions made use of by the defendant related to some transactions in a commission of bankruptcy, in which th e parties were concerned. Mr. GURNEY was about to cross-examine the witness, whfoi at the instigation of the Lord Chief Justice, the case was with drawn. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNE 12. THE DUKE Or NORTHUMBERLAND V. CLOVES. This was an action brought by the Duke of Northumberland against the defendant, for a nuisance, in erecting a steam engine close to Northumberland House. A wooden plan of North umberland House and gardens was produced in Court. Mr. Sergeant VAUGHAN stated, that the Noble Duke. in coming . into Court claimed no more than other subjects o' his Majesty, but lie had an equal right to the protection of die laws. The defendant was a respectable printer, residing contiguous to Northumberland Rouse, and had last SeptemberSepte mber erected a steam-engin e , b y w hi c h Northumberland nouss. was much annoyed. Th e y com pl a i ne d o f smo k e, wan t 0' water, and a great noise, resembling a threshing-machine' carts, or remote thunder; and, when the wind was in the north east, a prodigious quantity of black snow falling so thick on the pavement, that a person could write his name on it. To pre:. vent this smoke the defendant had latterly used coke instead °' coal, but finding the coke not to answer as well as coal, b e only recurred to it on days that visits were expec cl, to spect the premises, after which he reverted to the tree of -cow.' —The Duke had expended about 100,0001. in repairing en" beautifying Northumberland-house, and had employed Withal artisans wholly for that purpose. After expending so much , it was surely hard that the Noble proprietor should be driven from it. The servants could not open the windows on account of the smoke, particularly th e s k y- li g h t w hi c h li g h te d the grrieni .; staircase, and which w as near t h e steam-eng i ne. The e ti ° '" of opening windows would be that the smoke would injure the paintings. The walls were shaken by the operation of d ie engine —an offensive smell was felt—and great injury was done to the herbage and flowers. After the erection of the engin e a scarcity of water was felt at Northumberland House, on account of the supply requisite for the steam. It was tT" the def en d ant h ad dug a well for the engine, but its cif" ,, was to draw the water from the Duke's well. Northumberland House was originally the property of the Earl of Northampton' but had been in possession of the Northumberland family for two centuries. The Noble Duke, in bringing this action, aid not ask to recover damages, but only to ascertain how thi s nuisance, which affected his property, could be abated. Evidence being called on the part of the plaintiff, a proposi tion was made to refer the cause, which was objected to. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL proceeded to comment Icon the evidence, and said he should call witnesses to disprove it. At the suggestion of the Court, a reference was again pro posed, and finally it was agreed to take a verdict for the plain' tiff—Damages 1,0001., subject to the reference of Alr. Selwyn.
