FRENCH PAPERS. ~r The Moniteur contains the following documents:— " In the year 1838, May 10, at half past three in the morning, we, the undersigned, Thomas Rohert lingeaud, Alt•irn:,iir of the Chamber of D.puties, Major-General Commandant of Blaye ; Antoine Bubois, Honorary Pro fessor of the Faculty of Medicine at Paris; Charles Francois Marchan Duhreuil, S i i-Prefect of the arron dissement of Blaye; Daniel Theotime Pastoureau, Presi dent of the Tribunal de Premiere Instance at Blaye ; Piere Nadaud, Precureur du Roi of the same tribunal; Guillaume &lion, President of the Tribunal Commerce, and D,putv Mayor of Blaye ; Charles Borles, Com mandant of the National Guards of Blaye; Elie Des orambes, Rector of Blaye; Pierre Camille Delord, Com mandant of the Garrison of Blaye; and Claude 011ivier Dufresne, Civil Commissary at the Citadel—witnesses calied in by General Bugeaud to be present at the deli very of her Royal Highness Marie Caroline, Princess of the Two Sicilies, Duchess of Berry (M. Merlet, Mayor of Blaye. and M. Regnier, Juge de Paix, who were also summoned, being in the country, and unable to arrive in time,. We went into the citadel, and entered the house inhabited by her Royal Highness, and were introduced inta the room adjoining that in which the Princess lay. Dr. Dubois, General Bugeaud, aed M. Delord, were in the room when the pains first came on, and declared to the other witnesses that the Duchess of Berry had been delvered tit 20 minutes before three o'clock, after suf fering but a very short time ; that they saw her in labour, and receiving the assistance of Dr. Deneux and Dr. Me niere, Dr. Dubois remaining in the apartment till the de livery. General Bugeaud then entered, and asked the Duchess whether she would receive the witnesses? She answered—' Yes, as soon as the child is washed and dressed.' A few minutes afterwards Madame d'Hauteford came out, by desire of the Duchess, to request that the wit nesses would enter, which we did immediately. We found the Duchess lying in her bed, with a new-burn child on her left side. At the foot of the bed were seated Madame d'Hautefort and Madame Hanster ; Dr. Deneux and Dr. Msniere were standing at its head. " President Pastoureau then approached the Princess, and addressed to her in a loud voice the following ques tions Is it to the Duchess of Berry that I have the honour to speak?'—' Yes.' You are positively the Duchess of Berry?'—' Yes, Sir.' Is the new-born infant near you yours ?'—' Yes, Sir,' this infant is mine.', What is its sex?'--' It is of the female sex. Moreover, I have charged M. Deneux to make declaration thereof.' " And instantly, Louis Charles Deneux, doctor in me dicine, ex-professor of clinical midwifery of the faculty of Paris, titular member of the Royal Academy of Medicine, made the following declaration have just delivered the Duchess of Berry, here present, wife by lawful mar riage of Count Hector Lucchesi Palli, of the Princes of Campo Franco, Gentleman of the Chamber of the King of the Two Sicilies, domiciliated at Palermo.' " The Count de Brissac, and the Countess d'Hautefort, being asked by us whether they would sign the relation of what they had witnessed, replied, that they had come here to attend the Duchess of Berry as friends, but not to sign any act whatever. " Of all which we have drawn up the present proces verbal in threefold, one of which has been deposited in our presence among the archives of the citadel ; the two sobers have been delivered to General Bugeaud, Governor, whom we have charged to send them to the Government ; and, after this had been read, have signed on the day, month, and year. mentioned above.

" Extract from the Registers of Births of the town of Blaye, deportment of the Gironde : " ' This day, May 10, 1833, at noon, we, Andre- Victor Merlet, Mayor of the town of Blaye, officer of the Etat Civil, presented ourselves, upon a 6urninons from General Bugeaud, member of the Chamber of Deputies, Alajore General Commandant of Blaye, and proceeded to the bed-room of the Duchess of Berry, Princess of the Two Sicilies, where we found M. Louis Charles Deneux, doctor of medicine, formerly Clinical Professor of Mid wifery of the Faculty of Medicine at Paris, Ordinary Accoucheur to the Duchess of Berry, &c., who presented to us a new-born child, which we recognised to be of the female sex, and declared to us, in the presence of the Duchess of Berry, and near her bed, that her Royal Highness Marie Caroline, Duchess of Berry, the law fully married wife of Count Hector Lucchesi P.M, of the Print ess of Campo Franco, Gentleman of the Chamber of the King of the Two Sicilies, domiciliated at Palermo, the said Count being absent, was delivered this morning at twenty minutes past three o'clock, of the slid child, to whom were given the names of Anne Marie Rosalie.' After this declaration, made in an audible voice, the Duchess of Berry confiimed it, attesting to us that it con tained the truth, and that she wished to give to her child the names of Anne Marie Rosalie. Which declaration, presentation, and verification took pl ice in the presence of Alessrs.

The Munster for Foreign Affairs transmitted yesterday to the several representatives of the foreign Powers, corn silencing by the Courts of Naples, Sardinia, and Spin, authentic copies of the proces-verbal drawn up at Blaye un the 10th instant. It is said that the Government has already ordered three ships to be prepared for conveying and escorting the Duchess of Berry to the coast of Italy. A letter of the sth instant from Tarragona mentions an insurrection among the country people about Reus, three leagues from that town, occasioned by the instigations of the monks. Sett, ral villages had united, and taken up arms. Their banner bears the inscription—" Long live Charts V., and death to the Queen !" Of all the villages, Alforge and Provoleda have displayed the greatest vio lence. A private letter from Algiers, dated the 2d instant, says—" I have just learned that General Voirol is assem bling a force of 2,000 men, comprising a company of engineers, who are, it is said, to be furnished with pro visions for several days, and are to proceed to act against certain tribes that prevent the arrival of regular supplies " to the town and citadel."

BRUSSELS, MAY 11.—General Goblet set out fur Bruges this morning to join the King. The Independant says, that it has received informa tion which authorizes it to confirm the news of the three Northern Courts having lately intimated to the Cabinet of the Hague, th a t th e y ag r e ed b e fore hamd to any final or pre liminary arrangement made by England and France. Baussats, May 13.—The Emancipation says—" We have reason to b e li eve t h at d espatches h ave b een rece i ve d from M. Van de Weyer. They announce that Prince Talleyrand and Lord Palmerston are discussinc , the ques tion of employing more energet i c measures against s Hol land. The journey of the Duke of Orleans, though appa rently a mere court affair is connected with this nego tiation. Undoubtedly, in a constitutional state, a Prince Royal is nothing, and cannot be intrusted with a diplo. matie mission, but his presence and the confidential instruc. tions which he has from M. de Talleyrand may influence the negotiations." The Courrier Belge remarks on the above—" Thus, what we announced a few days ago of a new comedy of energetic measures, to be performed ir!t. London for the benefit of our Ministers in the approaching election, begins to he realiz-d. We give our countrymen credit for having far too much good sense to fall into such a trap. OSTEND, MAY 12.—Great preparations are making here to receive the King. Lord Durham arrived here on board the steam-boat, and immediately set out, k ith all his suite, to join the King at Bruges; we suppose he will return to this place with his Majesty. L The sister of the late Mr. Canning arrived this morning in the Earl of _Liverpool steam-boat She set out at noon for Brussels. EIGHT, P.N.—The King arrived here at five o'clock, amidst the acclamations of an immense multitude. BRUSSELS, MAY 1.1,. —His Majesty will arrive here to morrow morning. Mr. Abercrornby, Secretary to the English Legation at Berlin, arrived yesterday at Brussels on his way to Paris, and London. —Brussels Papers, May 15. VIENNA, MAY 4.—We are in hourly expectation of fresh accounts from Constantinople.

BUJUICDFRE, APRIL 10.—The black thunder cloud still hangs over our heads. Since the sth the 2d division of the Russian fleet has arrived, as you doubtless will have le irnt through other channels. The Russian c imp is in the beautiful valley of Hunkjas Iskelessi, on the Asiatic side, and we see the tops of the tents. The number of troops on hoard the fleet, may be ,bout 8,000 men. There are Cossacks among them. Bujukdere swarms with Russi ins. Discontent prevails in the capital, but all is tranquil. The result of the negotiations of France and England a ith Ibrahim is expected. There is no union in the Divan, and the Sultan himself is said to be quite over-ruled by all the disasters, doubts, and fears, which assail him on every side, and to have quite lost his former energy. The conduct of the Government would almost seem to confirm this. Nothing has been don, to strengthen even the castles of the Dardanelles, though the Egyptians are but a few days' march from them, and the Turkish fleet lies in the port, not a single ship being in a condition to put to sea.—Allyemeine Zeitung, May 10. DUTCH PAPERS. THE HAGUE, MAY 14.—Their Majesties and Princess Marianne will go to the Loo on Friday. His Majesty will remain there but a short time. We learn that the next sitting of the Second Chamber of the States General is fixed for Tuesday the 28th inst. On Saturday, the 18th, if the weather is favourable, his Majesty's ship of the line, the Jupiter, will be launched at Amsterdam. On the 9th instant there was a terrible thunder and hail storm at 1-leilsmar Alkmaan. The hailstones were larger than pigeons' eggs—many of them as large as a man's foot. The principal damage is to the windows, the vegetation not being forward enough to suffer much. HAARLEM, NIAY 13.—Favourable reports relative to the affairs of the country were in circulation on 'Change at Amsterdam to-day, and accounts from Frankfort an nounced a further rise of the Austrian Funds. (Private correspondence of the Hundelsblad.) THE HAGUE, MAY 11.-Yesterday and the day before there were extraordinary meetings of the Cabinet Council, which began very early and continued very long. It is said that they discussed the despatches which are thought to be very lately brought from London by M. Dedel, Chief Secretary to the Legation. Nothing positive has tran spired respecting the result of the deliberations of the Council ; but as far as we have been able to learn, the denouement of the long continued negotiations will come very speedily. Let us hope that it will be favourable to us. THE HAGUE, MAY 13.—1 t seems there have been many important affairs discussed lately in the Cabinet Council. It may now be asserted with some confidence that an arrangement of the long pending Belgian question will take place very shortly. With respect to the nature of the arrangements there are different reports.

" IMPERIAL MANIFESTO. " We, Nicholas 1., &c. &c. " After our victori , ‘us army had, in the course of the war in 1831, consolidated by new and brilliant victories the safety and tranquillity of the country, it received its last reinforcements from the 97th levy ordered by our manifesto of the 17th August of that year. The number of the recruits obtained by thin levy, did not indeed correspond with the actual loss of men ; however, bearing always in mind the relief of our faithful subjects, we took measures to make good that loss in some degree, not only without a new levy, but even without requiring the recruits, the raising of whom had been deferred in some provinces. At present we have judged it necesslry to proceed to the summoning of the recruits still wanting to complete the 96 levy in several provinces, and also by a special regulation to order a levy i❑ the following provinces, which are nearest to the cantonments of the troops that require to be com pleted. We therefore order, • " 1. A levy of all the recruits, the furnishing of whom WAS deferred by our Ukase of the 7th March, 1831, in the Governments of Voihynia, Grodno, Wilna, and Bi ia!ystock. 2. In the Governments of Krew, Podolia, Volhynia, Minsk, \Vilna, and Grodno, to make a new levy of four recruits for every thousand individuals, and to place them to the credit of those Governments in the next general levy. " :3. The levy to commence on the 27th of May and to be completed in two months, by the 27th of July.— St. Petersburgh Gazette, April 30. ODESSA.

Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when PATRICK VANS AGNEW, Esq., took the usual oath and his seat, as a Director, in the room ofJOIIN BAILLtE, Esq., deceased. NATIONAL CONVENTION.—It is reported that the Union of the Working Classes intend to call an. other meeting for Monday or Tuesday next, in the vicinity of the 'Metropolis, and that a number of delegates from the Birmingham, Manchester, and other Political Unions, will be present.—From a Correspondent of the Morning Chronicle. HOUSE AND WINDOW-TAX.-A vestry was held yesterday evening in the parish church of St. James, Cler kenwell, at which resolutions were passed that the repeal of these taxes should be effected by all constitu tional means. One person proposeei a resolution that every housekeeper should put a paper in his window, de claring that he would not pay these taxes any more. The Chairman refused to put any such resolution. After the meeting some wag hoaxed the more simple o f t h e pa rishioners with a report that Lord Aurtroae had been present incog. and heard the discussion. We should hardly have thought that such a joke would ha\ e been (r:dited by any one out of the pariah of St. Luke. • eelm.etc ' t 'de OA, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 16, 1833. Some of the partisans of Sir JOHN HOB-. HOUSE have signified an intention of petitioning against the return of Colonel EVANS on the ground of informality—one of the booths in the parish of St. George not having been quite ready for polling at the hour required by law on the first day. As Sir JOHN HOBHOUSE has discountenanced all attempts to disturb the re sult of the contest, and as the petitioners have no better ground of objection to proceed upon, we do not suppose they will carry their threat into execution. In fact, we hear it now reported that Sir JoHN - is to be sent Ambassador to Madrid. We wish him a pleasant journey, though we suspect his course will be be set by thorns and briers. We perceive by the Commons' Votes that several of the Bills brought forward to carry into effect different reductions in the taxes pro posed by Lord A LTHORP in his budget have passed both Houses of Parliament ; but there are others which have not even been brought in. We allude to the announced alterations in the Stamp Acts. It is now nearly a fortnight since the House of Commons agreed to resolutions for abolishing the stamp duties on receipts fur sums under five pounds, and for reducing the duties on a certain class of policies of insurance, and on advertisements, but no step has since been taken in the matter. The whole of these changes will be of great immediate advantage, not only to the parties directly interested, but to the whole commercial community; and we do trust that his Lordship will, at an early period, relieve the anxiety his procrastination has natu rally created. The West India interest are making every possible effort to prevent the adoption, by the Legislature, of Mr. STANLEY'S plan for the gradual abolition of Negro Slavery in the West India colonies; and as the abolitionists are al most as much dissatisfied with the plan as the West India proprietors, although on very dif ferent grounds, it is thought that Ministers will find it impossible to carry their measure in its present form and in the present Session of Par liament. Those among the West, India interest who think Mr. STANLEY will succeed, are very loud in expressing their determination to sell their property at whatever price it may fetch. It remains, however, to be seen, whether they will be rash enough to force sales at a moment when very few purchasers would be found in the market. There have been several meetings of the West India Proprietors since the publication of Mr. STANLEY'S plan, at one of which it was resolved to take some means of anticipating the effect of the Government despatches to the West Indies, by sending out a fast sailing vessel of their own. This vessel, vie understand, sailed yesterday, but of the nature of the instructions sent out by her, we are, of course, ignorant. They are, probably, merely precautionary, lest the sudden receipt of the I through any oth er c h anne l t h an t h at o f levs West India Proprietors should be attended with injury to their interests. Some persons connected with the Government imagine that the West India Proprietors arc imprudent enough to contemplate resistance to the will of the Legislature, should it addpt the plan of Mr. STANLEY. We do not, however, believe that there is any ground for such an apprehension. The West India Proprietors are anxious to do the best for themselves, but there is not much probability of their exciting their agents in the colonies to any acts of open resistance. We see among the notices of motion for this evening in the House of Commons one by Mr. H. HANDLEY for a Bill to repeal so much of an Act passed 9th GEO. IV., for regulating the payment of certain duties on Insurances from loss or damage by fire, as relates to live and dead farming stock, with a view to reduce the said duties thereon. This is, we imagine, another attempt of the agriculturists to steal a march upon the public. The duties on the insurance of farming stock are not paid by the consumer as duties upon articles of con sumption generally are. They are, pro tanto, a deduction from the iniquitous profit the landowner has secured to himself by his monopoly of the corn market, so that to abolish them would be a clear loss to the public at large. In other words, it would be permitting landlords, for their own exclusive benefit, to appropriate to themselves a portion of the revenue—would be allowing them to take so much from the Exchequer and transfer it to their own pockets. The most simple and honest way of doing the thing would be at once to move a grant of so many thousands of pounds, " to that portion of his Majesty's subjects who own land, the said grant to be divided amongst the said parties, in proportion to the quantity of land they possess." However it may be disguised, that is the plain English of Mr. HANDLEY'S motion. We suppose we shall hear of the reduction which has been made in the duty upon marine policies of insurance, as justi fying, indeed calling for, this relief in favour of landowners. But in this case all the arguments are reversed. Instead of being exclusively granted to particular interests, it is one granted to the whole public. Even if the revenue should suffer a diminution to the whole extent of the duty repealed, it would be so much clear gain to every individual in the community, from the highest to the lowest. It is tolerably certain, however, that the revenue will not lose by the reduction of the duty, because policies now effected at Hamburg, and other parts of the Continent, will revert to our underwriters. We shall not be surprised, however, to hear the agriculturists, with their usual candour, declare that this is a concession to the commercial interest which ought to be balanced by one, as they pretend, to the fanners. But it is hardly probable that their present petty pickpocket scheme will pass muster. The House of Commons was last night counted out at a few minutes before seven o'clock, that is to say, that the subject then under discussion was considered by Hon. Members of so little interest that forty of them could not be got to stay in the House. The subject thus unceremoniously treated, was that of the claims of the Baron DE BODE upon the fund granted by the French Government for the indemnity of British subjects. Whether the Baron has had more or less justice from the Commissioners we will not now inquire, but it certainly does appear that his cave cannot command the atten dance of forty Members of the tribunal to which he appeals in the last resort. The House of Commons has published the resolutions on the subject of slavery, proposed by Mr. STANLEY in Committee the other evening, rather an unusual course, but justified by the extraordinary nature of the case, even if common sense did not dictate it in every instance. The avowed object of his Majesty's Govern ment is to gather the opinion of the public upon the proposition it has submitted to Par liament. ‘Ve give the resolutions as they stand in the paper sent us from the House of Com• 'HIS DAY AT ONE 0 CLOCK. rItICES OF FOREIGN FUNDS Austrian Bonds 93 Belgian Bonds 9574 74, Ditto Account P5l 4 .

That to provide against the risk of loss which his Majesty's colonial possessions might sustain by the aboli tion of slavery, his Majesty be enabled to advance by way of loan, to be raised from time to time, a sum not exceed ing - in the whole 15,000,0001., to he repaid in such man ner and at such rate of interest as shall be prescribed by Parliament. 5. That his Majesty be en,bled to defray any such ex pense be may incur in establishing an efficient stipendiary magistracy in the colonies, and in aiding the local legisla tures in providing for the religious and moral education of the Negro population to be emancipated. No Secretary for Ireland has yet been ap pointed. Mr. SPRING RICE would, in all probability, have accepted the office, if he had not received positive assurances from Cambridge that hip re-election for that place would be ex tremely doubtful ; and two other gentlemen who were by turns in the eye of Earl GREY for the vacant situation, entertained similar doubts of re-election to those of the Secretary of the Treasury. Ministers ought to take warning by these indications of popular dissatisfaction, and endeavour, by the adoption of a different course, to regain the ground which they have lost ; for unless they do so, they will find themselves, in the event of a dissolution of Parliament, which some circumstance independent of their own will, may bring about, unable to regain their seats in the House of Commons, and they will be compelled to resign or to propose the adoption of a Bill for enabling them to have seats, ex-eicio, without th e power of voting. The chief fault of the present Ministers appears to have been a greater reliance upon the House of Commons than upon the people at large. The Irish Coercive Bill, which they carried so triumphantly in the House, was one of the most unpopular measures ever introduced, and if they should lose their seats, they will have to attribute the loss to that harsh and unnecessary proceeding as much as to their refusal to comply with the demand for the repeal of the v House and Window Taxes. The late affair in Cold Bath-fields has not increased their already slender stock of popularity, but it is due to them as a body to say, that they knew noth ing of the plan for dispersing the assemblage (multitude would be an absurd word for a meet ing of about 300 or 400 idle persons), and that Earl GREY has insisted on a rigid and impartial inquiry into all the circumstances connected with that melancholy transaction. In another part of The Sun will be found some particulars respecting Mr. KEAN, unques tionably the greatest actor that the English stage has known since the days of GARRICK. He has died at a fortunate moment for his fame, for had he survived but two short years longer, we question whether even his transcendent genius would have been able to uphold the in terests of the drama, which now seems tottering on the verge of extinction. A more favourite actor never yet strutted and fretted his brief hour upon the stage. He was popular even to the last moment of his performance. It is scarcely ten weeks since we saw him play his well-known character of Shylock, and never was Drury-lane fuller, or the audience more unanimous in their expressions of applause. But it was not mere applause that poor KEAN elicited in his earlier days ; it was enthusiasm, and of the most heart-felt character. He ruled his audience as with a spell, His most effective performance was Othello—his most finished, Sir Giles Overreach. Both these characters are now, of course, lost to the stage, in the same way as Cato and Corio lanus perished with JOHN KEMBLE. Mr. BULWER would establish high claims to public gratitude, if, in addition to his laudable exertions for supplying us with good dramas, he could hit upon some lucky expedient for supply ing us also with good tragedians. Were it even possible for another SHAKSPEARE to arise,, he must necessarily drop to leeward, from the want of another KEAN or KEMBLE to illustrate him. MACREADY is our only hope, but even he has many bad habits • to eradicate, before we can recognise him as a legitimate expounder of the feelings of human nature. Mr. KEAN'S friends talk, we perceive, of endeavouring to procure him the honours of interment in West minster Abbey. If GARRICK (which we doubt) was worthy of this honour, KEAN is still more so, for to greater genius, in the high est department of the art (though with less ver satility), he added a proud, honest, independent spirit to which the dapper little toad eater of my Lords Noodle and Doodle was an utter stranger. We should scarcely have dreamed of advocating the interment of an actor in a spot which should hold the ashes only of men of the noblest intel lect, had not GARRICK'S case formed a prece dent to justify us. The Paris papers contain some official docu ments relative to the accouchement of the Duchess de BERRI. 13y these we are informed that she is the lawful wife of Count LUCCHESI PALLI (son of the Neapolitan Prince CAMPO FRANCO), who has been for some time Neapo• Titan Envoy at the Hague, and submits to the order of affiliation on the consideration of being paid down in hard cash °ay one little million of francs ! Thus this delicate embarrassment is got rid of; and with a delicacy worthy of its character. Yet the va nity of the woman must be not a little wounded when she hears that a petty Neapolitan Count demands a million of francs for publicly acknowledging himself her husband She would naturally have thought that the honor of the thing would have been quite sufficient recom pense. But Mr. PALLI is a shrewd fellow. He prefers solid pudding to unsubstantial honor. Mrs. PAW is, we understand, to be liberated the instant her health permits of her ramoval. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) HALF-PAST ONE. Nothing has as yet transpired in respect to the die patches received from Holland this morning, but we have seen a letter from Amsterdam to the following purport :- 44 We have no news from the Hague, but it appears that the King of Holland is more pacific, and leans towards a settlement of the Dutch question. The Funds come a shade higher." _ _ Extract of a letter from Mr. James Grant, one of the principal settlers at Van Diemen's Land :—" The season has been very unpropitious ; the winter has been long and cold. I never knew such a continuance of frost and damp ; the former cut up all the seed, and the scab has made great havoc, so that front broken fleeces and diseases of flocks by death, there will be a sensible falling off in the quality of wool from Van Diemen's Land this season ; added to this, an extensive system of sleep-stealing, so that I am the loser of 1,000 head of sheep and lambs, of last year. The season has also been very late."—Dated Hobart Town, December 8. On the arrival of the Dutch mail in the early part of the morning we had very favourable reports in circula tion, but up to the present hour nothing official on the subject has transpired. The private letter w, have seen from Amsterdam represents that the King of Holland has become more pacific. Consols have continued during the whole of the morn ing at 87a for the Account, with little or nothing doing. A letter from Boulogne states that 500 French troops sailed on the sth instant to join Don Pedro; and we un derstand that to-morrow 600 English will sail from Gravesend for the same destination. In the Foreign Market there is little doing ; Dutch Stock has rather improved. THREE O'CLOCK.
