FRENCH PAPERS., PARIS, J'A:4. 1.--,-Yesterday the King'receired it, The 1141 of the Tbr,,:ne, the homage of the,, Chamber of Peers. :His Majesty conversed for a considerable time with the greater part of the Members of this dmber. Having reached the extremity of the I3ali, his Alajesty then returned, and rai, , ing his voice, said, 'Gentlemen, I feel much satisfaction that.yoU are the first to whom I have to .comMunicate, .that have appointed the Chancellor of Fraiiee„ your worthy President, (Iu of the Order-of the St. Esprit.' • . The unanimous display. of satisfaction and ac , no‘‘ 1, dgment which 'these words produced among the Peers, enabled his Illajesty to appreciate the favourable impression which a - choice so worthy of his 'Majesty's wisdom, and of the eminent per sonage who received so hatniurable a distinction, Made upon all their midds. • On the same day the King, surrounded by the Deputies of Departments, addressed them as follows :—" I am extremely satisfied with the spirit which has constantly been manifested by your Chamber ; I could wish' to'say. so to every one of you personally. Diffuse in the Depart.; ments the spirit;Which .animate you all Frenchmen that you have seen their father that he is - constantly occupied.about their happiness; remind them of the fable of Lafontaine, on. the necessity of union. It is my wish that all. Frenc hmen should form one bundle; and that -the con stitutional charter should be the tie of union. It is impoisible.that there should : not be differences of opinion on various questions, while the intention is at bottom, the same, - and all directed to the welfare of. the..people. I trust that future Ses sions will be guided "by the same spirit that has animated yott." His Majesty, to reward the services of Marshal .3oui-dan, G.overno►• Of.the •„I.th Military Division, has created him a Count. The remains of the two French Princesses Mes dames Adelaide and Victoir.e de France were laud ed at Toulon on the 20th of December, with much funeral soleinnity. 'The cause between Louis nuonaparte and the Duchess of St. Leo was to have. commef►ced •on the 30th of December, but th:.: length of other bu sines did not permit M. Tripier to-open the pleadings. The cause will be pleaded an the 7th instant. . - There has been some talk, for a few days past, of a new creation of . Peers on New Year's Day. now sa id, the King will make no more new creations till the period of his coronation. The. Court-martial on Gclieril . Facelinans will, it is understOod, assemble at Lille : Count d'Erlon will preside. VIENNA, DEC . 22, 7 —Her Majesty. the Empress of Russia has presented the invalid Committee with one hundred ducats, to be 'disbursed as they nay think most suitable. - A marriage between ,the Prince Royal of.Wir temburg, and the-Duchess of Oldenburgh is con 4idently spoken of. The King Of Wirtendiurg has •declared openly in favour pf the policy of Russia, though not long since that Sovereign, as well as Lis Bavarian Majesty, were in fiivour of the)nte- Ig i icy of the grates. The Committee of : the Secondary Powers and the Free Towns are now occupied on a new plan' for the Constitution of ,Germany.

'fhe Nea politan General M. Dozinsky, arrived bete "on the 20th, from IVarsaw. SINIGMILIA, DEC. 17.—Many bodies of Neapo litan troops have .arrived here to await thrther orders. They are to be put in motion under the orders of Marshal Bellegarde, and to advance to= wards •Bologne, where it seems there exists some fermentation against the Austrians : the inhabit ants of that town have, been committing excesses. It is stated that Neapolitans. will form the garri son of Bolognc. News has been spread through the army of the speedy arrival .of Murat ; it is even said, that before the 15th of January he will be at the head of his army, and that he will hold a review at Bologne, where his head-quarters will be fixed. These contradictory. accounts prove, that I , ttleis known of the projects of the Court of Naples. ToLosA, Dsc..?.o.—We• read with pleasure in the last Madrid Gazette, that his Majesty, alter a due deliberation Hpon the case of• our countrV- Than, Marshal Ricardo D'Alava, has decided against his arrestation, and ordered. that he be tortliwith set at liberty, declaring, at the same time, his royal satisfaction at the Marshal's• ser vices, and that nothing which had lately occurred should retard his future military promotion. Letters from the capital announce that General Pal ,, teros, who opposed the Doke of Welling ton's appointment to the supreme command of the Spanish troops, has.heen recalled to Madrid. He bas been exiled since the affair alluded-to. All the, maritime cities of Spain are dreadfully .alarmed at the mere apprehension of the eventfUl loss of the .Trans-Atlantic dominions.of Spain, though no•authentic intelligence yet received war rants a fear to that extent. It is said that the dkastrotis results of the pre sent s-ystem of political and religious intolerance baveat length induced a serions, though tardy re , volotion in the Iloyal Conneils. The Council of Castile, to whose consideration the general Po bey .of the kingdom was referred, has decidedly recommended a thorough change of system ; and we know the King loves justice, as he proves • every day. TouLoN,• DEo. 21.—Vesterday were landed here the corpses of the two Princesses Adelaide told Vietorie, of France. The funeral procession which took place was of the most grand and so lemn description.

Inquest was held. at ,the St Andrew's Head, in Upper East Smithfield, before Mr. VINTAVt N . ,. the Coroner, on the body of a man wlio was disedVered iu Pnw . pe's Wharf, mangled •in a Most sloicking manner, and tied up in Ithatnper, m , om was to be sent to Scot , . laud. After a view of the body, which lay at the Wharf, the Jury returned to the St. Andrew's Head, for the decision of the verdict. Mr. Foss, a clerk in the wharf; was the first witness that was examined. He deposed; that early on last . Tuesday,se'nnight two despicable looking .men came with a horse and cart, before the wharf was opened, and enquired if the Leith smack went from there,..for that they had a ham per to send to Edinburgh ; being told it did, they went into a public-house, and had some gill, while \!r. Foss opened the warehouse ; it • not being light he asked the direction, which they told hint,. and that it was on the hamper, which he after wards found - to be "Mr. Wilson, :janitors Cnl lege, Edinburgh." In consequence of the unusual hour at which they came, he asked their names, which one of them said was Chapman, and then departed. The hamper•lay in the warehouse till last Friday,when the vessel was ready to sail. The hamper was put ' on hoard, and the crew thought sonic uncommon bad. smell came from it, and turned it round two or tlkeee times to ascertain the cause, when the bottom broke, and a pet son's hand came through. This created 'alarm, and the circumstanee was made known to the Beadle, to report it to the' proper officers, and on opening the hamper, a naked belly of a man was found, with his head bent back behind his shoulders, his tongue cut out, and his belly sewed up ; both the feet cut a little above the anclez., and the other part of the legs and thighs were bent up to tire bClly, to put the whole of the' body. in a small compass. The tongue and feet were not found, and the body altogether was in a putrid.state. • 7 he Beadle was next examined. Having seen the banner opened, he corroborated the above evidence as far a's re lated to the state of the bodv • am! on being ask-* ed by one of the Jurymen, whether he thought the body was taker by any resurrection men for the purpose of dissection, he said he believed it had never been buried. The Jury, after a short consultation, returned a Verdict of 1-t1 Murder against some person or persons unknou,u. NIURDER.—On Friday last died, aged 31, Mr. GEORGE flupsoN, bricklayer, of Swalfhatn, its - consequence of a dreadful fracture of the skull, given with a large kitchen poker by one English, a dragoon; at the lied Lion, a few days before.— 'The Coroner's Inquest sat ou the body On Satur day, and after a long mid 'minute examination of several Witnesses before the Cormier and "Magis trates, the Jury brought in their.verdict of Wilful Murder, against the soldier, and warrants are is, sued for his apprehension. DARING ROBBERY.—The Mill belonging to Mr. PARTON, situate a t Tenterden, has of late been several times robbed of quantities of Flour, &c. On Friday last, Parton and his grinder were determined to lay %wait .for the miscreants, and secreted themselves in the mill for that purpose, armed. About twelve o'clock three men entered the mill, 'it is supposed by false keys, and were in - the act of filling their sacks with' flour front the trotigh, when they espied Parton and his man, whom they attacked, and a desperate conflict ensued.---,Parton attempted to fire his pistol at one of the robbers, but un fortunately it missed ; the robber then knocked Parton down, and attempted, with an instrument, to put out his eyes ; the grinder seeing his toaster that pePi;ous i.;:::2 lion, gave the robber asevere cut across the legs %rid) his sabre ; another CaUle up, knocked the grinder down, and.attempted to take the sabre from him, but in the act he cut oil two of the robber's fingers. The grinder getting . up, fOund-his master in the.sanie situation, with the robber upon him, whom he immediately fired at—the contents of the pistol lodged in his body ; the other two then matte.their escape. The rob who was shot, and whose name was Hart, they conveyed to Tenterden Town for surgical assist ance, but he died in about eight hours ; before he expired, he disclosed the names of his accom plices, Brignal and Page, .with others, amounting to eight in number ; and we trust and hope, from the great exertions now making, they, will ere long be brought to condign punishmeut.—plaid acne Journal, Jan. 3.) On Monday evening, the 26th ult:between the hours of five and six o'clock, a most daring af ternpt at robbery was made upon Capt. Woolsten holme; late of the Guards, who, with his Lady, was on his way to the North. Upon their reach ing Black-Bush-lane, the drivers were ordered to stop, and a sit - tit was fired, when tour men ap peared ; upon the approach of one of them to the driving seat, a pistol was discharged by Capt. W. one having previously missed fire ; this took ef fect, as the robber instantly fell, and the drivers pressing forward, the intention of the ruffians was frustrated ; they, however, fired two more shots atter the carriage, fortunately without doing any injury. The proximity to the town, and the early hour at' which the attack was made, are suf ficient probfs of the audacity of the gang.— (Drogheda Journal) On Friday, the 23d ult. between the hours of 2 and 3 o'clock in the morning, the dwellin g house of Henry Monnagh, of Drumgora, parish 01 Lur gan, County of Cavan, farmer, was broken open by four wen—three entered, with their faces and hands blackened ; one of them cut Monnagh's head with a small sword, and gave him a severe stab in the thigh. They robbed him of a pocket book, in which were sixteen or seventeen pounds in Bank notes, and a tin cannister in which were 25 guineas in gold. The fourth man-remained.as a watch at the door., They thew got a prayer book, and swore the man, his wife and daughter, not to 'make any alarm, or stir from the house, until after sun-rise.—(ibid.) •On Monday night some villain entered the coach-yard of the Cross Keys Inn, in Grace church-street, and feloniou s ly str i ppe d and carried away the cloth-lining of one of the iVookvich stage-coaches.

Several witnesses were exa , - mined, who spoke to the fact of the fire ; kit the most •material shew that the prisoner could not have committed the act were the firemen, • who proved. that the ,ire broke out in the room , in which M rs , I•;: u ight slept, and not in the cellar, as the prisoner IX.. ged. .We do not think it nt a to enter iuto "paiticulars, as tit 4 charge wholly failed: The 'prisoner however, re manded od moth-2r charge.
