LONDON, WiDNESDAY, MARCH WI, 1823.

The Paris Papers of Sunday are entirely occupied with
matters of domestic interest. The debates on the project
for the reduction of the Reines was continued on Saturday.
The principal speeches were those of M. DE LA Bova-
DONNATE and M. LALLEV DC POMBIERES, both against
the proposed law. We have given an abstract of the dis-
cussion in a subsequent column.
The death of the Princess DE METTERNICH is confirmed
by these Papers ; she died on Saturday morning. Her
corpse n2l be conveyed to Austria for interment, and it is
stated that the Prince will remain only a few days in Paris.
The fall of Patras is positively announced in the Con-
stiltdiemotel, on the authority of letters from Leghorn.
%%e are glad to perceive by the Eluile, that the Swiss
Government is desirous of being included in the commer-
cial arrangements with the South of Germany. The in-
tercourse of the inferior States of Europe will soon be or-
ganised on principles in the highest degree friendly to the
extension of trade. These benetkial changes must exercise
a powerful influence on the principal Governments of the
Continent, and dispose them to the sdoption of a more just
and liberal course.
