We have riceived lean a Papers to the I4IN in-
stant. Those of Saturday last contain rum• or;
of the decease of the Pork, find of her Nl,:jesty
the Duchess of LUCCA ; but these runnings do
not seem to deserve much credit. The King tit
SWEDEN is mid to he indisposed. Lit the French
Chamber of Deplitiet, a report, as we were eilibled
already to state from private intelligence, hes heeu
read from the Committee appointed to inquire int.,
the expediency of making the month or July the
commencement of the financial year, and of voting
the prevent law of finance for 1:4 instead of 1:
niutithr. This report favours the proposition of th,!
Nlitii‘terv, hut the debates on the subject have :cm,
menet(' in the Chamber, and couch opposition in,}'
be anticipated. There is au article of the Charter
that prohibits the bites from tieing voted f::
mitre th in twelve months, and on this article thi,-e
who oppose the Itliiiiiiers argue that the propmi-
tion is unconstitutional. Those persons seem ti,
think that the Legislature is not capable of over-
throwiug eve', the entire Charter, if, tis their
matins, it stood in the way of national ituprov,
(Deist. The project of the law fur aholivlting 111,1
druit d'aubuine in France, has been sent from the
Chamber of Peers to the Deputies fur their *ppm-
bstion.

The Mortiteur of Friday contains two Ordinoi-c.s
of the KING; one dated the 27th of Jatimir% ,
and the other the 10th of February, by which, to
consequence of the low prices of all species of
grain and potatoes, in the south-western depart-
ments, the prohibitions imposed on the eillo,rl.l.
tion of these art►cles are removed, with regard to
maize, outlet, and potatoes.
These Papers contain several article. froin 11
dri 1, the sole object of which appear. to I,r to
throw discredit upon the accounts published in the
English► Jour►►als respecting the internal state of
Spain, and the general condition of the Spanish
Monarchy. The writers, however, confine them-
selves to a simple contradiction and the ezpre►-
.ion of a little harmless surprise, that in a country
so enlightened as England such absurd rumours
could have been circulated. It should, however,
be remembered, that with respect to the internal
state of Spain, harassed as it appeared to be by
hordes of banditti, the rumours here circulated
were furnished by accounts in the Puri, and Dutch
Papers, purporting to come from Madrid. Cadiz, and
Irmo, while tl►ose that regard South America are tar-
nished from various sources, of which► we have hid no
came to doubt the authenticity. It is evident that
the Court of Spai►► and its HighA I ly, the Holy I aqui-
ritioli, are sorely galled by the freedom with winch
their machinations have been denounced before th.
tribunal of public opinion and in the face of Eu-
rope, by the English Newspapers; and while they
endeavour, vainly, we are convinced, by the tel.
ror of lire and sword, to prevent the introduction
,of the British Journals into Spain, they car only
attempt to obviate their effects abroad by calling
theta false with as much noise and virulence as
they can collect.
