We received last night the Paris Papers of Fri slay last, with the exception of the Monileur, and this morning those of Saturday, with the /Ifoni tenr marked of Friday and Saturday ; but the reason for none being published on Friday •tioes not appear. We give in soother column a few extracts from - the Papers which carne last night. Tile Chamber of Deputies, which did not sit on Thursday (Ascension Day), met on Friday, when, on a Petition being teported against the laws of exception, as they are t , rmetl, (respecting the Press, &c.)— TiL BENJAMIN CONSTANT took the Opportu= nity of complaining of the conduCt of the Censors in suffering sonic of the Journals to vilify the Liberaux, by insinuating that they were con nected with CRAVIea, and with a view of draw ing the attention of the Ministry to these abuses, lie moved to refer the Petition to the Minister of the Interior. This proposition, after a short discussion, was agreed to without resorting to a scrutiny. M. 1380ONOT reported from the Corn ntittee on the Widget of Expenditure for the cur rent year; the discussion of which was ordered to be opened after the conclusion of that on the Election Projet. The latter was to commence on Alonday, to which day the Chamber adjourned.--. The following are extracts from the Journals of battntlay " Psitts. MAY 13.---The King yesterday trans seed business with the Duke de Richelieu. " The trial respecting the SubscriptiOn calkd National, is expected to come on the 29th inst. " The Duke d'Angouleme left Lyons the Bth instant, after promising in the name of the King to the administration of hospitals, the stun of 50:000 francs, for constructing the Facade of the 1-10;el Dieu. " Letters of convocation for Monday next have been addressed to the Peers of France. The Com mission respecting the affair of Louvel will make their report to the Chamber, constituted as a Court of Justice. FIVE PER CENTS. Friday 73 f. 60 e. DP.FERRED STOCK. Of the 5.L2d Mardi, 1820 B9 f. 55 c. 14 VIENNA, MAY 2.—The Emperor and Em press of Austria quitted this Capital yesterday to proceed to Bohemia. They are expected to arrive on the 13th at Prague, stopping a few days at Bruno on their way." The information received this morning from Batavia is of a very alarming nature. By Letters from that' Island, dated Jan. 14, it appears that nearly the whole of the Dutch Troops had been dratted from thence to Palembang, in order to strengthen that Military position, consecptently the Inhabitants cat Batavia are much alarmed, as ~ot more than 600 European Troops were lett to defend the place against the NlAlays, wh•o are able to muster x force of near 100,000 men. If the attack should be made, a general massacre is ex• peered. FROM SPANISH Amitarca.—The Nymph,arrived at Pnihdeiphia, left Carthagena the 23i1 March• Mr. Phillips, supercago, informs, that the Pa triots were in great force at Morapert, on the river Madaleua,• and were advancing ; and that the prospects of the Royalists in that Tinter were very gloomy. 'The Commandant of Marines had taken the, command ot the Army of Observation and Operation, near Morapert. Every thing was quiet at Parsama, except the approach of the Pa triots upon Choco ; 200 men had been sent from Parsama to check them, and a strong body, in tended to co-operate, was dispatched op the river Asato, in the Gn!ph of Darien ; but they had re turned to Carthagena, not being able to form a junction. In the Nymph came the tutxte , of tlre brig Macedonian, ot Boston, plundered in thei Pacific by Lord COCHHAN6.—(Washington Paper, April II.) The fate of some of the more conspicuous tators of the Pr ople is at length deci .eft, and they arealoomed to suffer frir the disturbalices which they excited, and which have led in several ins an' es to melancholy consequences. Mr. HUNT, whose abilities ought to have taught him better conduct, .was yesterday, after . a most patient and impartial trial, before an unimpeachahle tribunal, consisting of Law Authorities stistinguished for learning, cap dour, and rectitude, sentenced to imprisonment for two years and a ball, but not to solitary con finement, as his sense of the nature and tendency of his crime induced bins to apprehend. He is at the end of that period to give security for his good behaviour for five years, himself in 10001. and two sureties in 500/. each. We sincerely hope that he will employ the indul gence of the Court, during his confinement, in study and reflection, by which means he may in some degree atomic for his errors, and become a useful member of society. His Reforming Allies, Jona. Sufi, HEALY, and BAMFOIiD, ale to be impri soned a year each, anti also to find Sureties to keep the Peace for five years. Sir Charles WoLseLeY, and the person styled Parson HAR. itson are each to be imprisoned eighteen Months, and of amuse to find Securities for their good behaviour at the termination of that period. We,shonld pity the situation of the Baronet if he had not gloried ill having partici pated in the destruction of the Bast lie, and if all the consequent horrors of the French Revolution had not made him insensible of the fatal tendency of his opinions. But he is still an object of pity, as his late conduct may be imputed to a want of that power of reflection which svould have other wise prevented him from falling into his recent errors. Such is the danger of listening to the Doctrines of COBBITT, which have tended more to mislead and corrupt than any other of the whole Host of Reforming Scribblers and De claimers, or indeed of all of them put tog e ther. To doctrines of that kind THISTLEWO OD and the other Conspirators, who paid with their lives for their atrocity, owe their too-weli merited fate, and the Reformers consigned yesterday to sonment by the justice of their Country, e as y im pute the disgraceful punishment which they are doomed to suffer, to the same baneful anti en- Snaring cease. Considerable alarm prevails throughout all the Sea Ports, lest that the Government have detertniu od to lower the duties on the importation of Foreign Timber ; for ourselves, we cannot believe so, not withstanding the opinions Which were expressed in the course of the Debate on the Petition re cently presented by Mr. BARING, for the repeal of the Statutes which are now called restrictive ; but which, until the introduction of the modern no• tions in political economy, were denominated ProteCting and Encouraging Statutes. Any altera tion of the present ditties on Foreign Timber will prove ruinous to the British Ship•owners, Ship builders, and to the various branches of trade connected with the building, repairing, and out fit of shipping. The Petitions which have been pre sented against the protecting system of the Home INTERESTS, do not speak the sentiments of the great body of the Merchants of England ; on the contrary, they proceed from individuals who have extensive connexions and establishments in foreign countries, and who are induced to advocate these inroads on the better, and, hitherto successful, policy of Great 11; itain, front motives, which are obvious to every person conversant in the foreign trade of the country. IVe are informed, that it the Ditties on Foreign Timber are lowered, it will i'6'row out of emplopnent an immense number of British Ships, which, from their age and charac ter; are not calculated or fit for employment in any other Trade, than that of bringing Tim ber 'from British North America num ber of Ships which cleared Outwards front Great Britain last year to these Colonies, we are informed, exceeded THREE HUNDRED AND FORTY ThousaND ToNs ! We, therefore, can not suppose, that the Government will come to any hasty conclusion on a subject of such vital im portance to the NAVAL INFLUENCE of the Empire ; besides, we are told, that there is a grow iog in crease of Exports of our Manufactures to British North America, which is more extensively be neficial to this . Country, including the freights ' paid- to the British Ship Owners, than any ad vantages we can derive from the trade to Nor way and. the Baltic. As to the intercourse with Norway, we cannot suppose, it is intend ed, seriously, to urge it as an argument for rite re duction of the ditties on Foreign Timber. Its proximity to Scotland and England renders it a trade altogether prejudicial to both ; for the . Wood brought from Norway is paid for in cash, and also the freights of the Norway vessels ; the Trade being confined altogether to the ships of that country. With respect to the Timber Trade front Sweden stud Prussia—for :Russia takes little interest in the questiont he Go vernments of these Countries hold out no security •to us,for the abandonment of oar Shipping in favour of their Timber Trade. They know very well, there . is no disposition,in their subjects to take more of our Manufactures than they can help, and that the clamour now raised respecting the Timber Trade, proceeds, a girai measure, from the solicitations of individuals, who have Establishments ill this Country, and in those we hare alluded to, and ho • have not only invested large Capitals in Prussian and Swedish Vessels, but have bought large Forests in those Kingdoms, with a view to the transmission of their Timber into Great Britain. Under these circumstances, we hope the Legislature will pause before they permit any alteration to be made in the present Wood Duties. Hitherto we have con. filled our remarks to the effect, that the pro posed alteration may have on the NAVIGATION of the Empire its effect on the Manufacturing In terests of the Country will be equally injurious, independent of • the despondency it will create throughout the whole of the King's Dependencies in North America. We shall shortly resume this subject. To the interval, we call the attention of our Readers at the OUT-PORTS to tt, and. urge them to apply to their Representatives in Parlia ment upon it ; for as these are the days of inno vation—on principles both political anti commer cial—which hitherto havebeen valued and regarded by the first Statesmen of the country, we do not hesitate to lend our best aid to their support and continuance. We shall be glad to receive com munications on this subject, and have only to re gret, that in the debate we have alluded to, there were sofewMembers disposed to advocate and main tain the Old Policy of the Kingdom. If we are correctly informed, a Member for a Northern County supported on that occasion all the opinions impressed by Mr.- BARING, though a few months since, it is said, be told many of his constituents, that be • should oppose any alteration 'in the pre sent duties on Foreign Timber. Adviees from floe Cape of Good Hope to the Ist of February contaitia ['rod lII3hOII of the above date, front the Governor, Sir K. S. DusmiN, commanding that all vessels which arrive at the Cape, either from the Mauritius or the East In dies, should he subjected to a rigorous quarantine, to prevent the introduction of the malignant fever which was raging at the for Mer settlement. The extension of the ordt'r to vessels coming from the East Indies is ascribed to the fear lest any contagion should he commullicated frornthat quarter, where the cholera morbus has prevailed. Extract of a letter from Cadiz, 25th -1820 :—" The day after to-morrow, the erecting of the new stone to celebrate the Constiturion will take place ; it is handsome ; there will be great rejoicings, and a banquet, and each soldier of the garrison (which is now composed of those o f the Isla) will receive a distribution of money. —'else Volunteers will on that day parade for the first tune."

We condole with you, Sire I and approach you with tenr", That your excellent Father has finish'd his years. 'Twas He first lent an car to our humble request, When at length we had been for two ages opprest ; And that now in the State we can hold any place, We must solely impute to his MAJESTY'S Grace. We were worthy the Gifts he was pleased to bestow, For we always were ready to fight with his Foe; Such allegiance we swore as the POPE thought his due, And now such allegiance we proffer to you, Still indulging a confident hope in the end We shall find in the Throne a Protector and Friend. Then grata us hut power, and the World shall soon kart , How the Catholics make a most grateful return. • OBSEUVATIO N. If their gratitude's such as it has been before, They will make that return by demanding still more. VIRGINIA.—A new tragedy with this title it forthcoming at Covent Garden Theatre.
