The Paris Papers of Sunday contain only the following
paragraphs worth extracting : •
DlADittn, JUNE 23..
-The Court has returned from Arenjure.
Yesterday. morning their 31sjesties and Royal Highnesses made
their entry into coda eapital. The regiments of infantry of the
Royal Guard, the Provincinl grenadiers, the Swiss, the Provincial
Regiment of bores, lined the road front the Palace to the bridge of
Toledo, by which their Mitjesties craned at half-past seven, in an
open carriage, and were welcoMed by salities of artillery, the ring-
ing of bells, and the unceasing acclaiiiations of the inhabitants.
His Majesty must graciously returned the cordial greetings of his
people. Some time after the King had arrived at the Palace, al
the troops which still guarded the pests that hid been assigned
them, tiled cent ctiluoins before the balconies of the Palace, where
their Majesties and Royal Highnesses stood; wt..° were again
warmly.salutell by themultitude assembled in the great square and
its ervirons.—Ma&hi Gagette.
A smuggling Tassel, under English colours. beteg pursued by
Lieut. Bargona, took refuge in the creek of Roguelas. on the coast
of Grenada, and landed 26 armed men. As soon as Captain Don
Joseph Saint Juan was informed of it, he marched against them,
at the head of 13 peasants, who were well disposed to second him,

sad obliged dim to lay dowa their arms : 172 art. of Ensil sad
Havannah tobacco wete seized.—Erei/e.
Auqsanatitt, JUNE 27.
A letter from Pen of the 31st May, written by a person of some
importance, says:— •
The diplomatic intercourse between the Foreign Ministers
and the Reis Effendi is not frequent. The Porte, to avoid new
troubles, bas renounced the plan of sending:part of the Janissaries
against the Greeks. The agents of the Viceroy of Egypt 'zing
informed of the late action between the Egyptian and Greek fleets,
off Candia, urge the departure of the Capitan Pacha. It seems
this Admiral, since last campaign, is unwilling to act with Ibra-
him Pacha ; and instead of going to the Mores, meditates an attack
on Samoa. IVhile the Porte affects to be pleased with Redichid
Pacha it has reprimanded the Pachas of Widdia and Silistria."—
Journal de l'arit.

The New Orleans Mercantile Daily Adoertiser gives an
account of a mutiny of Mexican troops stationed at the
island of Sacrificios, on the 30th April. This account is
erroneous: it was a mutiny of some convicts who were
confined on the island. It was immediately put down, and
the ringleaders punished. The Juliana left Vela Cruz
laubSequent to the 30th April, when the affair (which did
not last twenty-four hours) was at an end. Sacrificios is
close to Vera Cruz.

In the best regulated Irish papers we are continually
offended with gross absurdities which would infallibly in
this country expose the parties guilty of them to universal
contempt. The Dublin Evening- Post of Saturday has a
long letter addressed to the Earl of LIMERICK, in which
his Lordship is told that he

" Knows that there is a contest, at this moment, going on in
the Cabinet, regarding the dissolution of the present Parliament,
and that upon this measure the fate of the Catholic Question and
the fate of the country mainly depends. Should the Earl of
ELDON succeed against Mr. CANNING, hit Lordship hopes that
be would be enabled to raise a No-Popery cry, and to return a
House of Commons, the majority of which would be hostile to the
claims of the Catholics."

If this Paper is as well versed in the secrets of
the Cabinet as it so ludicrously pretends to be, surely, as.
the accredited organ of the Catholic party, it acts very
unwisely in admitting that, in case of a General Election
this summer, the Members returned to the next Parliament
" would be hostile to the claims of the Catholics." Public
opinion in Great Britain, according to this writer, is then
decidedly adverse to the Catholic Question. What better
argument against further concession can be desired by its
opponents? On the same calculation, it is assumed that a
dissolution of Parliament this summer must be intended to
extinguish all hope of success on the part of the Catholics.
We, however, who certainly do not affect to know what is
" at this moment going on in the Cabinet," can easily ima-
gine many reasons why this dreaded dissolution may take
place, without any view whatever to the Catholic Question.
Supposing Parliament to be prolonged another year, it
must then (lie a natural death ; •and the Catholic leaders
alfeady promise to compel Parliament either to yield the
point to them, or pass measures of greater severity to put
down the new Associations they are now employed in
framing. In some shape or other, therefore, the Catholic
Question will come before Parliament next Session, and the
Loan CHANCELLOR, if it be hi:, design—as we are by this
great authority assured ittis—" to raise a 'No-Popery' cry,'
will be just as able to do so next year as he is at present.
Be the dissolution Fettled as it may, we are quite certain
that the Catholic question will have no connexion with the
decision of the Cabinet.

A. petition was presented last night by the Marquis of
'LANcCDOWN, from the Unitarians, praying that an inquiry
might be instituted into their condition under the law of
• • land. The LORD CHANCELLOR stated bisentire non-
eurrenee in the object of the petition. His feelings, be
observed, had been very much mistaken if it had been sup-
posed that he had intended any interference with these
persons except for their benefit. There can he no doubt, we
think, that it is desirable to remove the uncertainty that
prevails with regard to the• protection to which they are
entitled. Nl'e do not admire the doctrine of connivance.
The law should clearly approve or clearly condemn, and in
either case it should be fully enforced.
In the House of Commons the Deccan prize-money was
again a subject of discussion, on the presentation of a peti-
tion from Sir EVAN M ACG RIGOR, in defence of the counsel
and agents of the claimants. The same ground was passed
over precisely. The Gentlemen of the long robe raised a
fresh outcry against the Duke of AVsLI.INGTON for having
suspected them of a desire to promote litigation. Because
Sir HENRY HARDT NG E expressed his wish to see the
lawyer's bills, in order that the public might know how
much of the plunder had gol:e into their pockets, Mr.
BROUG H • SI, in retaliation, attacked the army, and talked
of the " plunderers in red coats." Mr. CANNIXO after-
wards remarked, that it had evidently become, in the opi-
nion of the legal profession, nothing less than
dnhtnt niagnahni to attribute to a lawyer any thirst
for increasing business. The fact is as the Flight lion.
Gentleman stated, that never, in the history of Parliament,
was an Opposition so entirely composed of lawyers as the
present; and the House was therefore to conclude that
they were wholly indifferent as to the amount of their pro-
ft eional occupation. All men naturally desire success,
but let nobody insinuate that a lawyer wishes well to liti-
gation. The fact has never before (that we remember)
been publicly stated, but it is of a singular and instructive i
character.

Mr. CANNING subsequently gavean explanation of the
circa stances attending the non-reception of the Envoy
from Buenos Ayres. he most positively denied that any
attempt had been made by any Foreign Power to interfere
with our diplomatic relations with the new American States,'
.and he added, that if such interference had taken place, it
would have been wholly unsuccessful. The objection to
she xeception of theZnyoy * one entirely of form, but
of such:a nature, nevertheless, that it is impossible a Minis-
ter so accredited could, with a just sense of what is due to
this country, be received. An objection has also been
very: properly taken to the appointment of a British
merchant as Consul from Buenos Ayres. When the
nature of our intercourse with these St'ates is considered,
it is desirable that the agents should be disinterested and
free from all temptation to apply thuir knowledge to
any object but that for which it is communicated to
them. The course Mr. CANNING recommends he has
himself adopted. Ile has strictly forbidden all the
British Consuls abroad from entering into any mercantile
pursuits. If they should transgress this injunction, they
will be immediately removed.
An attempt was made by Mr. Ilestr to throw out the
Combination Laws Amendment Bill, on the ground that
the Lords had altered the amount of the Penalties. The.
lion. Gentleman was so jealous of the privileges of the
Lower house, that he proposed on such a ground to leave
the country exposed to the evils of his memorable Act for,
another year. It happened, however, that the Lords had
only restored what was omitted by accident in engrossing
the Bill in the Commons. A simple entry on the journals,
saved the point of privilege and the Bill too, which was
lent back to the Lords approved.

The amounts of the revenue for the quarter ending yes-
t.rday were made up last night, but se late that we cannot

lay them before our :c. re this day. It aim us great
pleasure, however. to have it in our power to state, that
the quarter's returns give further evidence al the continued
growth of the prosperity of our country. The revenue his
increased in all its princird branches, notwithstanding the
considerable reductions that have been made in the bur-
den of taxation.

The amount of the customs has been raised greatly by
large transfer of Excise duties, pursuant to a recent and
bentfletal regulation in that department. During the cor-
responding quarter, last year, the Costume produced the
sum of 1,997,070/. During the late quarter, these duties
yielded the sum of 3,918,000/. The apparent increase os
the face of the accounts, therefore, is 1,920,930/. ; but
froth this sum we ought to deduct about 1,800,0001. for the
transferred duties from the Excise. There will then remain
an actual increase of 1.20,000/. dining the last quarter in
the old duties of Customs alone, and adding this *um to the
increase of the previous quarter, we have the gratifying re-
sult of an excess of more than 2013,001:2. during the last
six mouths, over the corresponding period of 1824.

We have not the particulars of the Excise in our posses-
sion, but we understand they are equally satisfactory. If
the increase be not in the same proptetion, we must bear
in mind that some circumstances have occurred within tba
last quarter calculated peculiarly to affect this branch of the
revenue. The combinations of workmen in the manufac.
*Luring districts have led in many trades to a perfect stag-
nation of husint;es, and consequently to difficulties and pri-
vations on the part of the woanten, who haie, bj their
obstinacy, deprived themselves of the means of enjoymeth
to the same extent in which they might have indulged if
they had conducted themselves with more reason and
propriety.

In the department of Stamps, the produce of the last
quarter has exceeded that of the corresponding quarter of
1824 by at :east 120,000/.

The general result is grasifying in the highest degree,
Every quarter steadily rises above its predecessor, and
gives promise of a larger augmentation for the future.
The revenue is increasing, while taxation is diminishing;
looking forward, we see only prospects still brighter. The
general tranquillity of the civilised world becomes more
consolidated and assured by ksionger continuance. Every
nation, almost every individual, feels and appreciates the
advantagi•s of peace. Great Britain, as the most corn.
mercial Power, necessarily shares the moat in the universal
welfare; and with the enlightened councils and liberal
policy by which her Government is distinguished, it is
impossible to assign limits to the splendid career of her
prosperity.

CITY, Tuwenaw Evrwrats.
The Consols opened this morning at 914 I, and exhibited much
firmness until the middle of the day, when some heavy sales were
effected, and they then declined to 914 I, which was the closing
price.. It was rumoured that bad news from India occasioned this
declitse.r s was, however, without any foundation, for there are
NO lat 1 front his Majesty's podsessions in India. The Rom,
with 'Aespatebea, was to have sailed from Madras about the
20th of Yibrusry, and is consequently out of time. She is, bow.
ever, filled with passengers, and no anxiety 14*nm:tabled for be.
safety. She is daily expected to arrive, and the letters by her will
throw much light of Indian politics. The Bean of Commie wpm
that much Stock will come into the market when deg lush'
Looks are opened, whilst the Balls an confident that the neap st
money, when the dividends are paid, will afford a good markerig
any Stock which may be offered far sale. The contest bemire
these patties will not be affected by any political oecurtenees, for i a
issue depends entirely on the old-established doctrine of supply mai
demand.

II At a Meeting of the Committee of the Foreign Stock Exchange
the following important recommendation to the Subscrilrgirae
ordered to be circulated. It does net, however, go fat criviekio
convect the evil, the existence of whiff it admits s—
" Committee.
rootn, sth JOl7, 1825.
" It having been represented to the Committee of the roreige
Stock Exchange, that projects have been formed and companies
established, with the sole view of raising an account, and inducing
membets of this House to sell Bonds of a larger number of 'Sham
than have been issued, the Committee think it incumbent oh them
to caution the members of the Foreign Stock Exchange swarm
dealing in the Shares of any Company, with the respectability and
fair conduct of which they are not perfectly satisfied.

" By ort er of the Committee."

In Foreign Stocks there is no alteration of any consequence.
Spanish Bonds are I per cent. dearer than they were yesterday;
French Rentes are also per cent. higher. These variations art
the consequences of private operations, and do net result from po-
litical causes. South American Securities are a shade lower.
In Shares very little badness has latterly been effected. United
Mexican Shares are nearly 21. each lower ; the medic,' is tilled with
them. Old Chilian are also If. each cheaper. Anglo.3lezleaa
maintain their value, and Colombian also are in considerable
demand.

The Colonial market was exceedingly brisk ; there were heavy
Wes both of Cogee and Sugar, at full prizes.

The Robert Fuge, which took out a party of English
miners from Falmouth to Mexico, arrived off Tampico the
Sth May ; passengers all in good health.
The Haarlem Courant, of the 2d of July, says, " the
heads of the house of Rothschikl will shortly meet to-
gether, either in Paris or London. As this house had an
important part in the principal financial op,•rations during
some years past, it is no wonder that most parlous ascribe
this intended meeting not to family reasons, but to the ne-
cessity of arranging preparatory resources, for the purpose
of being aisle, in case of need, to carry into execution a plan
for effeetins the reduction of the French Relates (which has
not yet 'been much advanced by voluntary conversion) by
an eventual repayment of the principal."
Extract of a letter dated Malta, June 11:—" A further
impediment to our trade with Sicily occurs by the exten-
sion of the Quarantine to twenty-tight days on vessel,'
from this island, in consequence of tholate proceedings in
England regarding vessels from Egypt.. A Proclamation
has just been issued, declaring it fo be the intention of
Government to put forth British currency on the 24th
'instant, prepares°, to making it the general circulation
of the island. The English crown-piece is fixed at &law 1.
and other coins in proportion."
HAYTI.—A letter from New Orleans, fated May 11,
states, that several free people of colour, who had been
induced to leave Louisiana, by the nape of enjoying more
freedom and happiness under tl e soi-disant Republican
Government of Boyer, have lately returned to Nov Or-
leans, perfectly satisfied, by the expo iin•nt, that li-
berty does not consist merely in the name, tut II!
practice and morals. , In the towns of St. Domingo, they
tound much license among the lower orders, to beg, steal,
and quarrel ; industry was nearly out of the question
among the coloured men. The little business that
was done in the city, the coloured women and the whips
carried on with few exceptions. In the country, measures
of rigour were employed to make the cultivators go to the
field for a good share of the fruits of their industry, as a
reward had often been found of no avail. This was the
state of things in St. Domingo when the blacks heard that
Boyer was treating with the French Ministry. The Go-
vernment of the mulattoes at once became odious; and in
some of the districts at a distance front the town, the
ne-
groes left off all appearance of work. Armed bands of this
class, at the last dates, infested many of the passes in ate
mountains, and a general insurrection was dreaded. Boyer,
with his health impaired, now finds himself on a pinnacle,
where it is perilous to remain, and yet more dangerous to
descend. He has some thousands of bayonets at his back,
but he scarcely knows whom to trust. The blacks, in fact.
only want opportunity and a leader to exterminate the other
colours.—New nth Paper.
