Tti E Paris Papers of the zoth, and the two pre_ ceding days, arrived on Saturday at so late an hour, that we were unable •to make any ExtraCts from them ; we have therefore this day seledled the most material articles which they. contain. The ,Papers of the list arrived this morning.—lt appears from the Moniteur, that Mons. de BUSY having failed in his endeavours 'to persuade Sir ALEXANDER BALL to evacuate Malta, applied to the French Minister resident there for his interference. Gene. • ral VIAL accordingly addressed a long letter to Sir A. BALL upon the subjeCt, and amore curious specimen of diplomatic reasoning •we believe was never exhibited. He appears, however, to have a little more regard to truth than the Direaor of the .M:oniteur ; for though he' acknowledges that the . Great Powers of Europe were to guarantee the Inde. pendence of Malta, yet he does not venture to assert . what was stated in the Official Paper of the French Government, viz. that Russia and Prussia had acted. ed to the Guarantee. Rut Gen. VIAL makes up for the'want of hardihood in his assertions, by the un common iogenuity of his reasoning. He admits that the Independence of Malta was stipulated . for . in the Treaty of Amiens, and he acknowledges that that Independence was to he guaranteed by the Great Powers of Europe. Having conceded these two points, it would puzzle a man of ordinary talents to extricate himself from the difficulty in which such concessions naturally placed him ; but the''French General, without any hesitation, con tends that no importance is to be annexed to the Guarantee of the Great Powers of Europe ; that they were aprely requested to undertake the office as a mark of pouteaesr, which they were at liberty•to refuse, if tliey, thought paper, and therefore the Island ought without further delay to he. given up. The answer of Sir A. 'BALL to this irgenious produCtion is not given, bu: we may venture to pre. dift -that he was not convinced by General V reasoning. The Mcwiteur appears to be extremely oirended at a paragraph which appeared in THIS PAPER, star. ing, that Mow. de. Busy, the Lieutenant to the new Grand Master of Malta, was a Frenehman. This as i eetian the Moniteur declares to, be completely false: M.'Busy, it is said, was born in some town in the Papal Durainio' ns, but the name of the town is •by some" unfottuttate 'accident omitted. How_ cerr, to convert this Gentleman completely into an hiS name is changed, and he is no longer MOnsieur Busy, but Signer Buzi. Some censures wri the English Journalists then follow, and they are tepresenteci as reasoning with , th e s m i l e goo d faith as the Wolf and the Lamb in the Fable. KN. ing ' stumbled upon this unlucky comparison, the Maniteur proceeds to add, that the French are not the Lamb which is to be,devoured. Now, as there arc but two beats mentioned in the Fable, and if' France is not the Lamb, it requires no great powers of dedulion to discover by which beast the Maa;teur conceives her to be most naturally refire. served.

Amt-York Papers to the 22d of Mareh arrived on Saturday : one of .them, under eye Philadelphia, contains the following article: gg Capt. OAKFORD, of the Susannah, from Rouen, is the bearer of Pis. patches from our Minister at Paris. It appears that Mr. LIV/NGSTON IS dissatisfied with• his situation. He commands none of the respect . and deference due to the station of a Minister from an enlightened anti great nation. This dissatisfaaion, we understand, has induced him to solicit a speedy recall." Bermuda Papers were received on Saturday to the gth March inclusive : the Leander, of go guns ; Cambrian, of 40 ; lEolni, of 32 ; Pheaia#t of 18 ; and Lilly, of 16, were there at that date. The /Edur arrived the preceding Wednesday from Ja. maica, with a detachment of the 7th regiment ; and the Lilly on Monday, from Antigua, where she was new masted and refitted after the Decem ber gale, in which it was feared she had foundered. We are sorry to learn, however, that Lieutenant WALLER and Dr. O'BuRN died at Antigua, sup. posed from the effeasof the great fatigue they en. " countered on that occasion, and that the master of the sloop was left' dangerously ill at St. John's. The Rattan frigate was in atmpton Roads on the 2oth ult.

Yesterday, between one and two, and between three and four, there was a good deal of thtlnder and lightning, accompanied with hail. The thunder was very loud, and the liihtning . very vivid." Those who, deceived by the gleams of April sunshire, had walked out to Kensington Gardens, repented their excursion. The speech delivered by Captain MACNAMARA% on his trial, h understood to have been written by Mr. ERSKINE. It is a well.construned defence, and expressed with becoming delicacy and gentle.. manly spirit. Mr. CHRISTI e, who has been some time seriously indisposed, and has been trying the efficacy of the Country, is, we are glad to learn, much better..

Her Policca at the end of the Opera, is pretty, but if we may venture an opinion, lvi*re there is so-much excellence, it is rather more of die Buffa, than is proper for a Serious Opera : however, it pleases, and is much applauded. It is impossible to say too much of the stile in which the aCCOMpa. niments are managed. We never, even in the dine of VIOTTI, thought them so well done. In the aria accompanied by the violin abliilato, WEICfIO.O, gives us such a specimen of elegance, lightness, and perfeEt taste, that we regret we have not as yet had an opportunity of hearing . a Concerto from his Bow. The Ballet was Laurette, in which the audience were happy to greet the return of their favourite HiLtiosseitc. We have had occasion frequently to admire the elegance and activity of PAnisor ; but in the Ballet she adds interest to the cha. fader. The LABOR US are always attraaive, and the CORALLIS increase in aelivity and in pub lic fa .00r. St. PIERRE will ever stand unrivalled in his per formance of Gaucheries. The Ficuse was exceed ingly full, and of the best company.
