PARIS PAPERS. (From the Morziteur of June 18.) The Official part contains a Royal Ordinance, proclaiming a new law proposed by his Majesty, and adopted by the Chamber, modifying the du ties of stamps, enrolments, &c. on leases, sales, transfers of property, policies of maritime in surances, &c. The non-official part is filled with the debates of the Chambers. [From the Etoile of Saturday, June 19.] PARIS, JUNE 18.—The Duke of Sao Carlos, late Spanish Ambassador at Paris, is appointed Viceroy of Navarre. M. Lebrun, Due de Plaisance, has just died at the age of 86, at his estate of St. Mesme, near Dourdan. The Duke of Plaisance was succes sively a Member of the States-General, of the Constituent Assembly, and of the Council of the Ancients, Third Consul, Prince Arch-Treasurer of the Empire, Governor-General of Liguria, of Holland, &c. &c. The following are extracts of a letter received from the Captain of a merchant ship, recently come from Guinea and the Senegal : " The Local Government, says he, is mild and paternal, and .its Chief occupies himself incessantly in promoting the happi. ness of his subjects. Thanks to his zeal and activity, the sys tem of colonizing loses from (lay to day its enemies, and soon the banks of the Senegal will be covered with plantations of sugar, cotton, coffee, cloves, bananas, &c." The same writer adds, "I have eaten at the Government gardens, good sugar canes, excellent banana figs; I have alsO seen immense kitchen gardens, and mostly all the French fruit trees, in a high state of vegetation—the fig, the caper, the pistachio, the olive, the pomegranate, and the jubube trees; which were brought from Provence, about the end of the year 1823, at the expence of the Government, at my departure gave the most en couraging_prospect. At Daguna there is a garden, which the French officer commanding that post has caused to be cultivat ed, and which is destined for the garrison of that fort. The land in places, at the distance of from 30 to 40 leagues from St. Louis, ,is not of sand, but of a fertile soil, of different strata, which the river deposits when retiring, after its inundations." ( From the Journal des Debuts ) .ZANTE, MAY 16.—Letters from Smyrna to the 2d instant say, that the Asiatic Turks signalized their passage through that city by the massacre ef a great number of Christians, both Greeks and Catholics. The French Consul complained on account of the latter, but obtained No satisfac tion. After these proofs of their ferocity, they embarked at Scala Nueva for Samos, of which none of those who disembarked at Port Vathi have brought back any news. Thus, the Samians have again chastised the assassians of the Christians of Sinyrna. A part of the fleet of the Captain Pacha went towards the Gulf of Salonica ; a cannonade was heard, from which nothing favourable to the Turks was augured, particularly as the bazars in Smyrna had been shut up for two days. (From the Constitutionneh ) Paola, JUNE 18.—The note of Lord Strang ford is hostile to Greece ; but if England thus sacrifices Greece to the projects of Russia, there can be no doubt that Russia sacrifices to the commercial interests of Great Britain the honour .of the Monarchical principle. Thus the present policy of Europe is to liberate South America and rnake Greece dependent. In the Secret Meeting of the Chamber of De puties the day before yesterday, the proposition of NE de Jaultowitz that those Deputies should vclcate their seats who accept 'Offices removable on he pleasure of the Crown, was agreed to be taken into consideration almost unanimously.— Di. de Villele is said to have voted for it. In the same Sitting, M. Dubotderu complained of the Reporter of the Journal des Nbats for not giv ing a correct account, and moved that he should be expelled. The -motion was opposed by M. de. la.Bo.urdonnaye, and was not carried. FRENCH FUNDS.

SPAIN. .TVIADRID, JUNE 4.—'l lit. plot which has just been defeated at Lisbon was so intimately connected with that which has long been meditated in Spain, that even those per sons who trouble themselves the least about politics know it, add openly speak of it. The name of Charles V. becomes more popular; the few Royalist troops who have retained their arms have declared in favour of that Prince, who, according to them, has always felt a great interest in the army. General Copons, who in 1814 presented the Constitution to the King, inviting hint to take the oath to it, has just been ar rested at Cadiz, and will be brought to Madrid. The struggle between the Government of the King and the Apostolic Junta would terminate, there is reason to believe, in favour of the former, if two or three blows, like that which we are going to relate, proved to the factious that, supported by the French, it is strong enough not only to check them but to crush :them. Twenty of the most distinguiShed Members of the Apostolic Junta have been banished.; among them is the celebrated Don Victor Saez. It is affirmed also that the Duke del Infantado .is one of them. This act of authority has caused the greatest sensation, and we are impatient to learn the effect it Will pro duce in the provinces. JUNE s.—The Gazette of Aranjuei contains a notice from the Supreme Council of War, that the drawing by lot of 36,000 men having been published by the Royal Orders of the 15th and 19th of April last, the Council, to prevent the excesses which have often been committed on such occasions, commands the Royal Orders of the oth of February, 1796, and 9th of June; 1819, to be circulated, which relate to those who, to avoid serving, ,voluntarily maim themselves. The punishn - ,,nt of these persons is the galleys. Among the exiled members of .the Apostolic Junta are Colonel Ca►iiaro and Father Cyrille.. It is reported that General Capape, who had escaped, has beer, retaken, and shot by the French. The partisans of the Apos tolic Junta have given themselves the name of Antarillos (the Yellows). Ju NE 6.—The Dierio contains the following official paper :___. •" Long experience has shewn that one of the causes which has the most contributed to impunity of crime is seduction ; by it the escape of the greatest criminals has been facilitated. In order to prevent the repetition of an abuse which has been so long tolerated, and the consequences of which are so fatal, his Majesty has just ordered— " 1. That in the prison or place in which there are indivi duals accused of conspiracy, or others who not being included in the amnesty are placed under the authority of the law, there shall be a guard commanded by an officer. "2. That if persons who are under prosecution are in a place where there are no regular troops or Royal volunteers, they shall be removed for greater security to a place where there are troops. .. 3. Not' only the Commander of those guards but the gaolers of the pris o ns are-personally responsible for the persons confided to th e i r c-t r e. whose flight will be considered with re spect to the forme r .' as participators in the crime, and they shall be immedi ate l y arrF s t e d, and tried and punished in the same manner asitbrecrimin aYs themselves. The number of C o rregidors of i\adid is be raised to . They are to be c hosen from such as have N taken no part in the Revolution, and a--re known for their atta c h ment to the King and to the ancient :::rstitutions. .

An ancient officer of the Spanish Guard has just arrived from Corunna, from which town he has escaped the numerous ar. rests that take place there. DUTCH, BRUSSELS, AND HAMBURGH PAPERS. FluxKrona' JUNE I2.—Besides the arrest of M. Manger (whose papers are seized), and of several other persons belong. ing to the police, we have since learned that the same measure has been adopted towards M. Von Horn. The last accounts from Vienna are not favourable. Ever since the 2d of June the Austrian Funds have been falling, particularly the Bank Shares, and the tickets of Rothschild's Loan. BRUSSELS, JUNE 16.—The Magistrates of Brussels an nounced that the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo will be celebrated as usual. On the 17th, in the evening, the bells are to ring, and at three in the morning, noon, and evening, on the 18th, on which day there will be Te Deem in the church of St. Oudule, and prayers in the Protestant church. BATAVIA, DEC. l6.—M. Van Sevenhoven, Commissioner for Palembang, has just returned to this city, having completed his task, and definitively delivered up the Government to the Reijnet, previously appointed Resident. He has brought auto graph letters from the Sultan, and the Sooshoenan to the Go vernor-General, in which those princes not only express their entire satisfaction with the new regulations introduced by the Commissioners, but declare that the good effects, which they have already witnessed, fill them with confidence, that this new mode of administration will give to Palembang a degree of tran quility and prosperity which it never before enjoyed. On the 7th of this month there was a smart shake of an earth quake at Djoejokaria. Last month immense damage was done to the coffee plantations at Pieang, by heavy rains and high winds. ST. PETERSBURGH, 2.—The fate, or the Saint's day of the Grand Duchess Helena, is kept to-day at Pawlosk, with great solemnity. We hear that Prince Golyzin has also resigned the office of President of the Bible and Philanthropical Association, and that the Metropolitan Seraphim of St. Petersburgh succeeds him. He retains the office of Postmaster-General. Councillor of State Turgenjew, Director in the Ecclesiastical Depart ment; and Councillor of State, Popow, Director in the De partment of Public Instruction, are also discharged from their offices. Up to yesterday 260 ships had arrived at Cronstadt.— sailed 74. HALLE, Jules 10.—It is well known that some time ago there were disturbances among the students, which were, in deed, soon quelled, but were followed by arrests, &c. Lately the office of Protector was taken from Professor Gesenius, and given for three years to the Councillor of State, Jacot. The University appears to have lost the privilege which it formerly enjoyed of electing its Protectors. NASSAU, JUNE 4.—lt appears, from an official circular of our Government, that a Catholic Clergyman, holding a high situation, lately entered into a correspondence with a Papal Nuncio, contrary to the law ; but his death taking place soon after, he was not punished for this violation of his duty as a subject. Another ecclesiastic, however, who received the an swer to the above application, and published it without com municating with the Government and obtaining permission, has been punished as he merits. At the same time, it has been signified to all the Catholic Clergy in the Duchy, that any similar transgression of a Catholic Clergyman holding a public situation, will, in future, be considered as equivalent to a resignation of it, and the Government will discharge him accordingly. STOCKHOLM, JUNE 4.—His Majesty has accepted the re signation of C ount Engerstrom, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, and appointed the Councillor Count Wetterstedt to succeed him. Their illajestio-3 will certainly set out out on the Bth. The Russian Ambassador sets out for Scania on the 10th. COPENHAGEN, JUNE 12.—Dr. Johnsen, Rector Odde in Iceland, is now appointed Bishop of Iceland.—The small-pox beginning to spread here, the necessary regulations for the police have been again published.

The 2d or Queen's Regiment have landed at Portsmouth, from Dublin, and marched into Forton Barracks. The 15th Hussars were to leave Brighton on Saturday for the neighbohrhood of the Metropolis. It is said that they will be succeeded by the 12th. The 97th Regiment (Sir James Lyons's) is now complete ; Ceylon is its destination. today at a B t th r Dragoons (Hussars) will arrive The 3d Regiment of Dragoon Guards has arrived at Liver pool from Manchester, to embark for Ireland. p ß sw e f i ch ln f e r n e t m o f N L or ig w h ie t h. " We know, from good authority, that a confidential exami nation is going on at the Horse Guards, into abuses arising from the illegal exercise of undue in/Jimmie. This matter has been progressively unravelling ever since February, 1322. An officer of cavalry, eldest son °fa British Admiral, and grandson of an English Earl, tendered his statement a fortnight past to Major Mailing, of the Adjutant -General's office, when every facility was offered by Major-General Sir Herbert Taylor, to the due elucidation of these transactions. The officer bringing the charges against en official servant of tried services, stakes his commission on the result, and relying confidently on the equity of military investigations, presented his leading wit ness to the notice of the proper authority. Lieut.-Colonel D'Aguilar has twice examined this witness, confronted with other parties (officials) at the Adjutant-General's office, and the matter assumes a complexion of vital consequence to the in terests of every officer in the service. We shall be more expli_ cit next Sunday, when the general outline of the matter shall appear before our readers-"—( The Indian Observer.) [From the LO) DON GAZETTE of Saturday.] War Office, June 12, 1824.

MADRAS, DEC. 10, 1823.—The anniversary of the battle of MAHIDPOOR falling on Sunday, the Ball and Supper to be given by the Officers of the 3d Regiment Light In fantry, in commemoration of the event, will take place on Monday, the 22d instant.—We understand that the New Mess Room of the above distinguished corps will be opened for the first time on the occasion.—The commemoration of this brilliant achievement, and of the heroism displayed by the Bri tish and Native troops in this important and decisive battle, induces us to express the deep regret . we feel in noticing the mortification and disappointment which is felt, and the gene ral dissatisfaction expressed by the troops at the unaccount able delay which has taken place in the distribution of the Deccan prize money ; for, from the great extent and value of the booty taken from the Native Princes, in the course of the late glorious though short war, they expected to have participated in it long ago ; especially, as it was generally understood in India. that the LATE President of the Board of Controul had strongly recommended an immediate distribution of it. If the Court of Directors still object to give up all the public property and booty which was taken by the troops yet a considerable ptirt of it might have been, without any inconve nience whatever to the Company's Service, paid over to the Army on account, and the remainder distributed to them, whenever it was decided by the proper Authorities to belong to the troops under his Majesty's grant. We trust, the next dispatches will bring us more favourable accounts, and that the Directors have acceded to the several claims of the Army, which have been delivered in ; s o that the money may be put into a course of distribution in the ensuing year. " BOMBAY, DEC. 10, 1823.—0 n Thursday mornin g his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, accompanied by his suite, left the Presidency for the Northern Districts, un der the usual salute. His Excellency proceeded over-land to Bassein, from whence he was to embark on board the pilot brig Palinurus for Surat, and we understand he is not expected to return to Bombay before March or April. The Palinurus, after leaving Surat, continues her voyage to the Persian Gulf. The Caroline, lately arrived from the Persian Gulf, brings three females, natives of Mangalore, who, we are informed, were forcibly seized by a party of Arabs, whilst on the shore of their native place, and carried on board an Arab Dow, which sailed for the Gulf, and landed them at Bareeni. By means, with which we are unac q uai nted , they got intelligence of their condition to be conveyed to the Ante lope, the officer of which obtained their release, and carried them to Bushire, whence they were transmitted here in the Caroline. An inquiry into the truth of this statement is, we hear, going on at the Police Office." The Bristol Gazette, on the authority of letters by the Pitt, says,. " There is every reason to believe that Sir C. M`Carthy was sacrificed after the battle, and his bead sent to the King of the Ashantees ; and that Mr. Williams was in the hands of the Dutch Governor of Elrnina, as a hostage, on certain conditions." .Probert is now in Gloucestershire, and was at Newnharn Fair on the 11th in9tant, exhibiting a horse for sale. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. !MUSE OF LORDS, SATURDAY, JUNE 19. The Bill for repealing the Act against Artisans leaving the country, the Shipping Duties' bill, and the New Churches bill, were read a third time, and passed. The Merchants' Law Amendment Bill was, on the sugges tion of the LouD CI L who thought the subject re quired more consideration than it had yet received, postponed to next Session. Mr, IlttooDElcandothers.from the Vomfrions brought up the Bankrupt Laws Bill, with the amendments agreed to, the Combination Laws' Repeal Bill, the East India Possessions Bill, the Fleet-market Removal Bill, and several other bills. Lord BEXLEY moved the first reading of the Lancaster County Courts Bill. Lord GIFFORD objected to extending the jurisdiction of County Courts. Lord BEXLEY thought that in conseqUence of the difference in the value of money at the time when the Court was con stituted and at present, the sum for which it was competent to decide should be raised from 401. to 501. Ile hoped the Noble Lord on the Woolsack would favour the House with his opinion on the Bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, he could see no reason for giving the County Courts of Lancashire the new powers created by the Bill. There could be no• doubt that another County Courts Bill would be brought before their Lordships next Session. The Lancashire Court might be included in that Bill and share its fate. A conversation of some length follow.2d, in which Lord ELLENBOROUGH strongly opposed the Bill. Lord BEX LE V was surprised that the Noble Lord (Ellen borough) should be so inconsistent as to oppose both this and the County Courts' Bill which was lately before the House, as the Bills differed so much from each other. Lord HOLLAND, knowing the remarkable moderation of the Noble Lord who spoke last, thought it rather strange that he should accuac'his Noble Friend of inconsistency for merely disapproving of two extremes.—(A laugh.) On the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Bill was ordered to be read a second time this day two months. OFFICE OF EARL MARSHAL. Lord 11014CAND was always unwilling to move the sus pension of the standing orders, except in cases in which the motion was likely to meet the general concurrence of the House : but from what fell yesterday from the Noble Earl on the wool saok, and the Noble Earl opposite, it appeared that there was not that unanimity in the HOLM:it present which would justify him in persisting In the motion of which he had given notice.-- He should, therefore, merely move that the Bill be now read a second time. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought that as this Bill had come upon the House in some measure by surprise, it ought to be postponed to next Session, to give sufficient time for its con sideration. _ _ _ Lord ELLENBOROUGH had not the slightest idea that there could be an objection to the principle of the Bill. During the late discussion, the general impression of the House was certainly in favour of the measure. The LORD CHANCELLOR remarked, that Noble Lords might state their own impressions, but could not answer for the impressions of others who were absent. Lord HOLLAND reminded their Lordships, that the principle of the measure had, in the late debate, been completely acceded to. There had been some doubts as to the form in which it should be carried into effect, but none to passing an Act In substance the same as that before the House. It was now brought under their Lordships' consideration in that form which, according to all that had passed on the subject, must be unobjectionable. He would on no account ever attempt to take the House by surprise. Ile had introduced the Bill, because it was his opinion that the ma jority of the House wished to grant the boon it would confer— that this was the time when the grant would be felt to be most gracious by hitn_who was to receive it—and that the proposed manner of giving it would be the least objectionable to those Noble Lords who were disposed to view measures of this kind with any degree of jealousy. From motives of friendship he would at any time have been happy to introduce this Rill, and if their Lordships were at any time to agree to the measure, they ought to do so now, when it would be an act of grace done to sooth the domestic affliction of the Noble Duke, and mark the sympathy of the House. For these reasons, and as the pr ' inciple of the Bill had been approved of by a majority of the House he hoped their Lordships would now give it a second reading. The House divided on the word " now"— Content, 24 Not content, 10 Majority, 14. The Committee being dispensed with, the Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be read a third time on Monday. Lord KING presented a petition from the inhabitants of the parish of Kilmore, in the county of Armagh, Ireland. The House would recollect that a petition from the Minister and inhabitants of that parish had been presented some time since by a Right Rev. Prelate, praying that they might be enabled to levy a pour-rate on the parish. The present petitioners said that the majority of the parishioners were not informed of that petition, and prayed that no law to raise poor-rates on the parish might be enacted. The Bishop of RAPHOE said, the persons who signed the present petition were such as might be had to sign any petition, and he was confident more than half of them would have signed the petition presented by him had they been applied to. That petition was signed by the Minister of the parish, the members of the Established Church, Dissenters, Catholics—all who had any feeling for the poor. Since then some agitators had circu lated a report in the parish, that there was to be an act of Par liament passed for levying a poor rate of ss. an acre on land, although at the time of presenting the petition he expressly stated the poor rate intended was to be voluntary. The per sons who signed the petition he presented had been in the habit of agreeing at the vestry meetings to the collection ora small rate for the relief of the poor, but those who had no feeling for the poor need not contribute. Lord ELLENBOROUGH said, the Right Rev. Prelate should not say that those who did not sign his petition had no feeling for the poor—it was quite fair that he should praise those who had signed it, but he should not cast imputations on those who had not. The Bishop of RAPHOE said he did not mean to cast gene ral imputations, but when a petition from Ireland was signed by Protestants and Catholics, it was evident that it spoke the public opinion. Lord ELLENBOROUGH was glad to hear the Right Rev. Prelate admit that the opinion of the Catholics of Ireland was entitled to regard, and hoped he would evince his con sideration for their feelings by his vote in that House.— Adjourned.

By an Express this morning, from Paris, we have received a full confirmation of the important fact, that the King of POUTUGAL has called to gether the ancient Cortes of the Kingdom. This prudent and tranquillizing measure is attributed to the ascendancy of England in the Portuguese Councils ; and a strong apprehension is enter tained by some of the Parisian politicians lest the cautious, moderate, and disinterested policy of Great Britain should be rewarded by a similar result even in Spain. The Prince Don I‘,Tiatruz, who is now in Paris, had the hardihood to pre sent himself before the public on Friday night at the Theatre. Our Correspondent does not say any thing regarding the manner in which he was received. Every thing was considered as in dicating the continuance of peace at Paris ;.'and the Rentes were on Saturday 102 f. 10c. for Money, and 102 f. 60c. for the end of the rnontt. By a vessel which has arrived at Cowes from the llavannah, we have received letters of the 4th May, on which day the vessel sailed. The'pre vious accouuts, however, were to the 6th or 7th of the same month. The letters now received mOntion that a Spanish sloop of war has been captured , by a Colombian ship ; but this is supposed to he the capture mentioned in former accounts. There are also arrivals from Rio de Janeiro ; but they are not of so late a date as those already re ceived. In a preceding column we have given extracts, from the Paris Papers received since our last. The Journal des D6&ds gives some intelligence f t qv
