The Deputies of the ale Droit repeat in every quarter,
with a kind of triumphant joy, that on Sunday last, at the
Tuilleries, the KING remarked to cne of their party, that
be Government were disposed to adopt all the amendments
which would tend to ameliorate the condition of the emi-
grants. These words are considered by them as a signal
of victory; they pretend that, since this has happened,
M. DE VILLELE, in his conferences with the Committee ap-
pointed to report on the proposed law, has discovered more
inclination to concede than before. lie has, they say, al-
ready consented to make many important modifications,
and they hope to obtain yet more. By the amendments at
present made in the new law, the indemnity will be
raised to fifteen hundred, instead of a thousand millions ;
but even this is only a prelude, as the emigrants ex-
pect that the Government will not stop short in a work
so well begun. It is not till after the first discussions in
both the Chambers that the Minister will definitively de-
cide upon the plan he will pursue during the Session. if
he finds that he has a sure majority in the Upper Cham- ,
ber, he will then hasten the discussion of the projects
already presented, in order that lie may have sufficient
time to bring forward his project of law respecting the
Press before the month of May. Should it pass, this pro-
ject will not only render him completely motor of the
Journals, but give him also the power of prolaiting then-
printing of old works, and of forming an index for all
new publications. If, however, a majority in the Cham-
ber of Peers should appear doubtful, M. DI VI LLE LE will
try to spin out the Session, so that it may not be termi-
nated at the period when the Coronation of his MAJESTY
takes place. As that ceremony is to be an epoque for
pardons, promotions, and favours of all kinds, the Minister
will avail himself of the opportunity to create sixty or a
hundred peers ; and, supported by this reinforcement,
the Minister, on the renewal of the Session, will boldly
bring forward his law regarding the Press, in full con-
fidence of its being passed. At all events, he will not
'suffer the liberty of the Press to remain as it stands at
present ; he will sooner re-establish the Censorship, after
the close of the Chambers. Ile is pretty certain he shall
meet with no difficulty on the part of the KING, who,
it is said, speaking lately of the removal of the Censor-
ship, declared, " I did wrong" (J'ai
.fails une pule).
As I intimated to you some time ago, the policy of
the centre Opposition is to adopt only the article which
establishes the principle of the indemnity, and to reject
all the rest.

M. DE RCN:. s, the son-in-law of M. DCVILLILE,
is a young fanatic, who, for the glory of the Jesuits, would
willingly sacrifice all his relatives and friends. This
young man was, with M. DE VI LLELE, the representati►e,
the advocate, the agent, and, I may say, the Ppy of the
congregation; and it is now said, that it is intended to
confer on him the appointment of private secretary to the
KIND : the Jesuits will then have, at the elbow of his
Moaten, a zealous and adroit agent. This affair has
given rise, at this moment, to much intrigue. Should
M. De litNNsvittx succeed, the Jesuits will make much
more rapid strides than they have hitherto done, in esta-
blishing their power in France.

Yesterday the new Brazilian loan was brought into the
market. The amount is one million five hundred thousand
pounds ;to pay an interest of five per cent. It was brought
out at 85, and on its first appearance bore a premium of 5
per cent., but shortly fell to 3a N. The instalments are
to be paid as follow :-

A New Mining Company. we understand, iv establish-
ing, called " the Brazilian Mining Company." Although
the lists are not yet formed, it is expected that shares will
bear a high premium.
We understand that Mr. Hamlet, the eminent jeweller,
has a share with Mr. Rothschild in the contract for the
Welsh Mines; and that a detailed prospectus of the plan,
objects, and advantages of the Company will be forth-
coming in a few days.
The present rage for mining speculations induces us to
copy from Mist's Joornal of March 10, 1720, a paragraph,
said to have been copied from a work intituled, " The Lord
knows what, by the Lord knows who," which scents to place
the South Sea Stock and similar schemes in a true fight:—
" I than make a familiar simile, which every reader may
carry in his mind without the help of figures, and which, I
think, has a very near resemblance to the South Sea
scheme, as it has been executetl: viz. A, having 1001. stock
in trade, though pretty much in debt, gives it out to be
worth 3001., on account of tnany privileges and advantages I
to which he is entitled. B, relying on his great wisdom
and integrity, sues to be admitted a partner on those terms,
and accordingly brings 3001. into the partnership. The
trade being afterwards given out or discovered to he very
improving, C comes in at 500/., and afterwards D at
1,1001. ; and the capital is then completed to 2,000/. If
the partnership ha. gone on no farther than A and B,
then A had got and B had lost 1001.; if it had stopt at C,
A had got and C had lost 2001., and B had been as he was
before. But 1) also coming in, A gains 4001. anti B 2001.,
and C neither gains nor loses, but I) loses 6001. Indeed,
if A could show that the said capital was intrinsically
worth 1,4001., there would be no harm done to I), and B
and C would have been much obliged to him. But if the
capital at first was worth but 1001., and increased only by
the subsequent partnerships, it must then be acknowledged
that B and C have been imposed on in their turns, and
that unfortunate, thoughtless 1), pays the piper."
limn Mt N es.—An excellent mine of lead has been re-
cently discovered it a place called Coonagh, near the
Crosses, in this county, which will, in all probability, be
worked at some not very remote period, and will doubtless
improve that part of the country. It is, besides, conti-
guous to the proposed line of rail-road from this city to
Carrick.—About a twelvemonth since, a rich copper mine
was discovered on Lord Derby's estate at Ballisinone, in
the vicinity of Tipperary. The gentleman who examined
it declares it to be the richest vein he had ever seen.—

Letters and papers have been received from Demerara
to the 11th ult. The trial of one of the Colonists for forgery
had exited great interest, after a long investigation. it. C.
Storey had been found guilty of forging bills of exchange
on the house of Daniel and Co. Bristol, purporting to be
drawn by John Austin, in Demerara. The latter, on his
arrival in England some time since, was surprised on find-
ing bills of exchange to the amount of nearly five thousand
pounds had been accepted and paid in his name, and that
others were left to a considerable amount to be accepted ;
an investigation immediately took plate, which ultimately
led to the arreat and trial of It. C. Storey; helms now been
found guilty, and awaits his sentence. As Demerara is
governed by Dutch laws, he is not likely to suffer death.
The penalty is branding and banishment. The sentence
was daily expected to be promulgated.
FINAL CONTRACT FOR LOTTERlEL—Yesterday, the
Gentlemen who usually bid for the State Lotteries, waited
on the Chancellor of the Exchequer, agreeably to public
notice, and engaged to take all the remaining Tickets at
an advanced price. This Contract concludes the National
Lotteries, which have existed in this country, as a branch
of the Public Revenue, for upwards of one hundred and
fifty years.
