LONDON, THURSDAY, Arm 91, 1111.

The Paris Papers of Monday are filled chiefly with
commentaries on the atrocious spirit of legislation which
now prevails in France. The law of sacrilege has inspired
a general feeling of alarm among the liberal and Pro-
testant part of the population, as the law of indemnity
has among the proprietors of the national domains. All
is dread and disquietude in every class of society.
Tbere is a report that M. Poem ni Boaao, the Russian
Ambassador at Paris, will be created a Peer of France,
and appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs. M. nt Boum
is by birth a Corsican, and was a Member of the French
Legislative Assembly, in which he presented an energetic
Report on the coalition of the Powers of the Continent
against the Revolution. It is somewhat remarkable that
Russia, In whose service M. at Boaoo has been for the
las 93 years, was particularly an object of his censure.
His accession to the French Cabinet at this moment would
be a humiliating concession of the predominance of Russia
in the Councils of the Bourbons, but it would not be as
crest at which we should feel the least surprise. The
Duke de &cast-tau owed his meat in the Councils of
Loris XVIII. to the same influence to which M. In
Bosco will be indebted for his new honours.
The Echo dr Afidi announces that M. Bans, the Pea-
tadent of the Chamber of Deputies, will have a blue
Abu conferred upon him on the solemnity of the Coro-
nation. _ _ _

I Tbe Correspondent of the Coarrier Francais, at Madrid,
states that the Spanish Government would not suffer Lir-
CUM MURAT to leave Algesiras until be had signed an in-
strument by which he bound himself netts to set his foot
again on the Spanish soil on pain of being treated as an
exile who had unlawfully returned from banishment. The
Count de NostsiAs, who, as one of the Ex-Regidors of
Madrid, was lately sentenced to be exiled from the capital,
has died suddenly, not without suspicion of violence.
The state of Spain appears to be deplorable in the highest
degree. Faction and.rotsery are destroying the people.
The accounts from Greece are highly favourable. The
attempt to relieve Patras and Lepanto has failed, and the
Austrian transports, it was believed, would return to ?ante
to unload.

The Etuile of Tuesday still clings to the vain hope that
the victory of Ayacucho has not been gained by the Co-
lombians ; and with the view of showing that the accounts
published in the London Papers must be unfounded, it
enters into a minute comparison of dates. Unfortunately
for the Eloile, however, all its figures are wrong ; and
though the Editor of that Paper pretends to consider the
result of the Peruvian campaign as "involved in much ob..
scurity," we believe that no one else in either hemisphere
has any doubt on the subject.

1 In the Brussels Papers we received last night it is
reported that the Government of the Netherlands has
resolved to prohibit the French Ministerial Journal, the
Etoile, from circulating in future in that kingdom. The
reason assigned for this prohibition is, the ofence given
by the insulting and calumnious articles of the Etoile
respecting the Belgic Government. We are very little
disposed to defend the character of the Etoile, or to deny 1
that the Authorities of the Netherlands have not a Jost
ground of complaint against the writers in that Paper ; but i
we wholly disapprove of the mode in which the Belgic
Government is said to Intend to vindicate Itself. A
Government has no right to interdict the circulation of
any publication, domestic or foreign, until it has been
condemned by the proper tribunals. Let the Belgic
Government do in this came as the British would.
If the articles contained in the Etoile be punishable
by kw, let the parties engaged in circulating it be
prosecuted. It may be said that there is a peculiarity
in respect to the Netherlands, the language being, among
the educated classes, the same as that of France. There
is an absolute identity of language between the people of
Great Britain and those of the United States. The Ame-
rican Journals are not remarkable for their forbearance or
delicacy in their observations on foreign Governments ; yet
who ever suspected that a Cabinet Council in London was
ever engaged in discussing the conduct of any of the innu-
merable host of periodicals that arc issued from the press
of the United States? The attention of the Government
of the Netherlands is still directed to the Roman Catholic
Missionaries. This is a much more fitting object than the
absurd or malicious slanders of an unprincipled newspaper.

Mt' sseLs, A Pert..l3.

Duke Bernhard of Sawc.ll'eimar, Gen;;XlGotnmindlint of East
Flanders, who has already unveiled througl, part of Europe, b
going, with the permission cl the King, to visit North America.
His Excellency the Cioverner of Hainsult, by • circular letter of
the 12th instant, invites the magistrates of the towns and communes
to take most suitable measures that no 31issionary, of any descrip-
tion whatever, be admitted into the towns or communes of the
province, to spread his doctrines Ity public preaching. or in any
other manner, and to prevent such preaching from taking place.
These measures are intended to insure the exerution of his Majesty's
intentions, expressad in the circular addressed to the Bishops, &c.
by his Excellency the Director-General of the affairs of the Catholic
Worship.

By the accounts from the frontiers of Wallachia, in the
German Papers received ruiterday, it appears that the
Bojars have refused to accede to the Sci.r A N's demand of
1,500,C0il piastres towards the expenses of the approaching
campaign against Greece. 'The intole:able weight of the
exactions to sshi.:ll the people of these Principalities have
lately teen subpcted, has, we arc told, at length sti-
mulated the &jam to assert the ancient lz,hts of the
Dacian people. We may reckon this among the many
symptoms that have manifested themselves of the decay
and di<solution of the Turkish Empire. All its provinces
in Europe are equally disaffected, and an opportunity only
is wanted to raise the standard of insurrection in the
northern principalities.

By the accounts received yesterday from Madrid, it ap- 1
pears that the general expectation in that capital is, that
the Duke de l'haraNTADO will certainly replace M.
ficaare in the favour of the KING. kle is with FIR.
DINAND constantly, and his refusal of the embassy to
Paris is ascribed entirely to his confidence in the success
of his itit--igun at home. Whin the retirement of the
French troops from the Peninsula was announced to the

have expresso,- bit wish that %Amelia Government

which it shall be contracted. That alone, however, we
can repeat, is the subject of discussion. In all other re-
spects the terms are settled. A considerable difference has
always existed on the Stock Exchange in the price of
what are called the Old and New Bonds, the latter being
those which were issued by Admiral JAPAT, under pecu-
liar circumstances, when the dominion of the Cortes was
confined to the Isle of Leon. We understand, however,
that no difference will be made in the terms on which the
Bonds will be received, under the arrangements now
making for the New Loan. The disinclination of Fax..
DINAND to admit the New Bonds is not greater than that
which he feels towards the Old Bonds; in this respect be
is, at least, the friend of equal justice, if there can be any

CITY, WIDNIIIDALY EVINING.

In the Engiiah Money Market Consols were without vitiation
from yesterday's prices ; 921 i for Money, and 921 f for the Ac-
count.
There was not much business doing in the Foreign Market, and
the prices, If we except Greek Scrip, which was rather higher, were
the same as those of yesterday. This Scrip wu 41 4 discount, and
the bargains in it showed confidence on the pert of holders, who
seemed by no means desirous of selling. Old Spanish Bonds were
the same ss yesterday, 43i j, and those of Ill3llwere a shade better,
19. South American Seauities did not differ from the quota-
tion of the preceding day. Colombian Bonds were at 891 90, and
Mexican Scrip if. Brazilian Scrip continued immovable at Si,
and Danish Ditto was at 3 21 discount.
In the Share Merkel there was bet little business doing, and
that was divided the Pasco-Peruvian Company, at 1617,
and the New United Association, which fluctuated be.
tweed tot premium., The python of the first instalment to
day has had a tendency to depress them. Subscriber', however,
we understand, lime been very inward in making their deposits
today, ander the esngaine expedition of the successful issue of
this undertaking.
The quotations, both in Sugar and Coffee, are a shade lower
to-day, in consequence of the glut occasioned by the importations.

Mr. Canning was in the House of Commons on Tuesday
night, about seven o'clock, but be remained a very short
time. He walked lame and with the aid of a stick.
We understand that N. M. Rothschild, Esq will be
presented to his Majesty next week, by Prince Esterhasy,
on his appointment as Consul-General to the Emperor of
Austria.
Dr. Doyle was tinder the gallery on Tuesday night during
the debate.
Joseph Hayne Esq. the ci-devant swain of Miss Foote,
is now in retirement at Sidmouth.
Sixty-eightpetitions against the Roman Catholic Claims
were presented to the House of Lords on Monday evening.
A proposal is under consideration by Government for an
improved system of conveying the foreign mails. The
plan suggested would extend to our most distant posses-
aions, in every qurtsr of the globe. It is calculated that
the rapidity of conveyance would be such, u to produce
an ay.rage saving of two months' interest, on the aggregate
amount of foreign remittances. Three years are required
for completing the arrangements nexuary for establishing
a general communication with every point from which fo-
