PARIS PAPERS.

PARIS, OCTORRR d.

It visa on the 29th ult. that the King of Prus►is.
who travels incognito under the name of Count
Ruppiti, entered Strasburg. The august traveller
alighted at the Cathedral, where Gametal Pompeii!.
Lacroix, Commandant of the division, the Prefect.
the Commandant of the department, and the Mayor,
were presented to him. After viewing that breams
fad edifice, and enjoying the admirable prospect,
which Alsace presents front the Tour, his Majesty
proceeded to the temple of St. Thomas to view the
tomb of Marshal Saxe. He then visited the pro.
anenades of Broglie, Contades, Robertson, and the
Orangery, whence lie repaired to the Isesd•quarteus
of the division. Being informed that the Lieut.
General had assembled the principal futictionaries at
a beroptet to celebrate the anniversary of the birth of
the Duke of Bordeaux, l►e was pleased to join the
party. and gave the following toast—" l'he King,
the Dnke of Bourdesux, the Royal family, and mull
their faithful servants?' He afterwards visited the
theatre, and departed at ►ix in the evening. ex-
pressing his regret that be could tut continue
longer tr► the city. The two Prussia• Primes,
Frederick %%Tatham Lewis end Frederick Charles
Alexander, were exiwered oil the following day ut
Stra►burg. They keep at the distance of a day's
journey behiud their august father, who iutends to
pass through Switzerland. and to proceed lay the
wav of Mont St. Gotha►d on the Simplon to Italy.
It is believed that the Russian Minister Count
Capo d'lotria will also pass through Strasburg.
and take the same route to Italy as the King of
Prussia.

A letter from Constantinople, dieted the 4th,
stales that the Tartar who brought the intelligence
of the earthquake of Aleppo, announced that the
French Consul and the French interpreters bud fur.
tunately escaped from that climates.
Letters from Odessa stale, that in the last con-
ference between Lard Strangford and the Reis
Effendi, the latter insisted that Russia ought, in
fulfilment of treaties, to surrender the fortresses in
Asia. He also observed that the forte would not
send a Commissioner to negochite, and that it was
for Russia to disavow the conduct of Stroganoff,
and to send a new Minister. Lord Strangford, it is
said, takes a report of this conference with him to
Vienna.
M. de Cliateaubrisad is expected to set off to-
morrow for Vermin. _ _

A letter from Bordeaux, dated the Ist of Octo.
ber, states that a company of the train of artillery
had arrived there from Bayonne, and was to pro-
ceed to Angouleute. It was expected to be fol-
lowed by a corps of horse artillery, which ceases to
form part of the Corps of Observation.
The Steer Merlin, bookseller, having been tried
before the Tribunal of Correctional Police, for pub-
lishing • seditious work, offensive to the King and
the Royal Family, called Memoires de Ichiea-
chea•-/i, a horsed Mandarin," and for exercising
the trade of bookseller without a brevet, was found
guilty on the first charge, but acquitted on the se-
cond. Thole, of 1814. however, requires that book-
sellers should have brevets, but inflicts no penalty for
the vista of them. The prosecutor brought the case
before the Royal Court, which confirmed the judg-
ment of the Correctional Tribunal. He then ap-
pealed to the Court of Cessation. The Public
Minirter referred to • regolatios of 170, which
inflicted • penalty of 800 francs on ■ bookseller
trading without • brevet. In 1791 brevets were
suppressed, but the Public Minister contended that
the law of 1814, which re•esusblislred brevets, vir-
tually received the regultrtiou of 170. The Court
of Caseation agreed in this opinion, annulled the
the judgment of the Royal Court of Paris, and re-
ferred the case to the Royal Court of Orleans.
