PARIS, JUNE G.
The rejection of the law on the reduction of the interest of the
rod, s has made a great impression in this capital, and we doubt
not that persons who from regard to private inferests hare beetdrown into die opsiition, will now make serious reelections on the
consequences of the rejection.
The Qoaidirome joins in chorus with the Costnifsdonscf and
Comrsier, it: hymns of triumph to the majority of the Clamber Pan. we advise it, however, in the into:motion of its triumph,
not to lose sight of the fact, that the majority of the Chamber of
Deputies, which also contains excellent Royalists, was of anei].„
opinion with respect to the law. Must not the exaggerated praises
given to one be at the expense of the other ?
We call, moreover, the attention of the gooledh nue to this little
calculation, which may induce him to pay some respect to the p.r_
tisava of the project of the law.

Manstro, May 24.
We are unwed that the King intends to replace a Area tumber
of Me:utters of the timpreme Counsel. Part of the ammunition of
Badajos is to be brought to Madrid. Today strong parties ut
Spanish soldiers traversed the streets of 3ladrid to prtrett a re.
newel of ilia/dee 1 a Proclamation has just been issued inviting
the inhabitants of Madrid to avoid such excesses as have many
been committed.
11 hen the Diplomatic Body went to congratulate the ring upon
the publication of the Act of Ammsty, the English Arnbastattur
. was not of the number.

The following are extracts from the Drapeass Mark. of cater.
day:—

PAR IS, Jr SE 4.
The Infant, Don .Miguel, has landed at Brest. His Royal
Highness is accompanied by the Court de Los Rim.
His Excellency Count Villele has twice transacted business with
the King, once before breakfast, and again atter mass His Ex.
cellency has also had an audience with Monsieur.
Their Excellencies the Count de ('orbiere and the )larquis Je
Clermont Tonnerre, also transacted business with the King.
Yesterday and the previous day a considerable number of the
Peers of Prance, and Members of the Chamber of Deputies,
thronged the apartments of his Excellency the President of the
Council of Ministers. Certain Journals are lavish of emumiums,
and extravagantly enthusiasic on the derision of the Chamber of
Peers. Without wishing to re-open a useless discussion on a
matter that is decided, we shall merely observe, that the names of
the principal opponents of the law cannot hare failed to show to
France what 'Maths of opinion prevailed in this important dis-
cussion, the result of which deprives those who pay the taxes of
those alleviations, their right to which had been acknowledged by
the King, and the Chaniber of Deputies, and the emigrams cf
that indemnification which was promised them.

Adviees from Bayonne. state that intelligence had arrived there
from Madrid of some serious cominotions which occurred in that
capital on the Lld, in consequence of the scarcity of bread. Tile
bakers' shops were broken open and pillaged ; and it was found ne-
cessary to protect them by a strong military guard. The people re.
ravelled the French troops with bring the cause of their distress.
and, it is stated, that great animosity prevails between the lattrr
and the Spanish soldiers. All Portuguese subjects in Spain are
summoned to present themselves before the resident Ambassador
and Consuls of Portugal without delay. The following is an
extract

Mahan), 31av 24.
The Minister Secretary of State of the Department of Justice,
has written a letter to the following effect, to the Captain-General
of the Province of Madrid

" The King our Sovereign is informed by daily communication.,
that some officers, without paying any regard to circumstances and
to the numerous and powerful motives of consideration, with which
all the French forming part of the army ought to be treated, enter
into conversations which give rise to quarrels, and which almost al.
ways happen in Cofiee-houses and other public places. His Ma-
jesty further observes, that the same officers, stepping out of the
sphere of their knowledge, speak of diplomatic affairs, and condemn
the wisest measures of the Cabinets, doubtless from the habit
which the revolution has caused en be introduced. With a view
to remedy an abuse, which is continually increasing, his Majesty
has commanded me to acquaint your Excellency with his intcn_
tions, that by your orders the diffetent corps may be made to un-
derstand that the char:la-ter of the Spanish officers was always dis-
tinguished by ;officious and moderate conduct ; consequently, that
°Seers of all classes are forbidden to enter into conversation and
discussion of the nature of those here spoken of. The adjutants
are charged on their responsibility, to exercise the greatest eau.,
and the most active vigilance, to arrest those who shall disobey his
Majesty's orders.

A French paper says—" The greatest disorders too:
place at Madrid on the 23d May, in consequence of the
deficiency of bread. Several baker's shops were plundered,
and many of the proprietors ill-treated. Measures were
taken to calm this disturbance, and prevent it in future;
but it is feared that the scarcity which is Mt, and the
exorbitant price of grain, will be the source of serious
calamities throughout the country. Our Correspondent
informs us that the fignaga, a measure nearly correspond-
ing to our bushel, which twenty days before was worth
only 20 rials, was raised to 63 vials at the market of the
24th May. Al the Ambassadors, excepting the English,
have presented their felicitations on the subject of his Ma-
' jesty's decree of an amnesty. It was reported at Madrid that
the Royalist General Capape had operated a movement in
the Lower Arragon ; what is certain, the Spanish
G neral has received orders to depart immediately for
Saragosa. and that he left on the 2251 May. All the
French troops have left Alicant for Valencia. The Com-
missaries in charge of providing the troops were to leave
Madrid on the 24th.

In consequence of the rejection in the Chamber of Peers
of the law for the reimbursement and the reduction of tie
Five per Cents., there were observed, in different streets et'
Paris, illuminations in the windows of persons living, du
cin puienit, in the fifth stories.—French Paper.
RACI a IN FKANCE.—His Royal Highness Monsieur
and the Duke d'Angouleme, desirous of testifying the in-
terest they take in the useful institution of the anneal
horse rack s on the Champs de Mars, have, by way of ex-
' citing emulation, founded at their own expense two new
prizes, one of 4,000 francs, to be called le ;wiz dArluis ;
the other of 3.000 francs, le prix ItAngoulente. Thrse
prizes are to be run for the first Sunday after the race fer
• the royal prize. which is to take place every year during
the first fortnight in Septtenber. The same regulations
will be adopted as for the royal prize, except that every
' horse or snare distanced in the lure ding races of the time
year will be excluded ; the horse or mare that wins the
royal prize cannot be entered for the Artois or Angoulesre
prizes, neither is it to be allowed that the horse or mare
which wins the Artois prize shall run fir the latter. Their
Royal Highnesses will add to this btnetit to the institution
the singular favour of decreeing the prize themselves.—

The C, reu.•all Gazelle, reef ivt d this morning, gives the
names of 1.1 Freed* eyes ••Is of war, which it states to have
been at Rio de Janeiro about the middle. of Nlarch. and to
. have landed 500 men. The tact is, that on the 19th
March there were only two French frigates, two corvettes.
• and a brig there, some of which were hound to the Pa-
cific. The rumoured landing of troops is totally false.—

A itumos Ayres Paper, of the 10th of Fel:many, con-
tains accounts from Chili, stating, that ‘'altlivina had been
taken by Quintanilla, who proceeeled from Chili with
about 4,000 men. The Director Freya bad marched to
resist him. with the corps of the army which had narrated
from the lute media: to Coquimbo.
A:vomits from Nlartinigne, in the New York Papers say,
that the coloured people of that island were shipping away
with as much despatch as possible. No distinction was
made amongst them. Whether high or low, :WI or poor—.
wh.lher guilty or innocent—whether implicated or not in
the late premeditated insurrection, the c, ntenec of banish-
ment was the same. The line of the skin was quite suf-
ficient, and a passport was politely handed to evtry one
whose name an residence were known, as well as to those
who were only Litottn abroad in the public strtets
lighways. A considerable number of those people bad
