[FROM OUR COSRESPDXDEXT.I
PARIS, JAR. 18,
As I suggested to yot: some weeks ago, it has actually
happened ; the Minister has taken care so to arrange
matters, that the investigation of the affair of PA rAvoistr,
which has excited so much interest, should take place jut
at the moment of the discussion of the Indemnity to the
Emigrants, and the reduction of the Renters: the public
attention will thus, as he anticipates, be drawn off from
the proceedings of the Chambers, by the intense curiosity
which ex!sts with respect to the trial of this atrocious
assassin. It appears that the Cottrt of Instruction have
not been able perfectly to unveil the mystery of this harrid
affair. PAFAVOINE has endeavoured to make himself pan
for a madman. He declared to the Judge of Instruction,
that, in killing the two children of GLRBAUD, he thought
be had killed the Duke of BOURDE U x and Mademoiselle
de Benny. He said that he had written to she Duchess
of A Nuoucemi, requesting a private audience, in which
he promised to make some important revelations. But this
request was not complied with ; and he has since said that
the Duchess was perfectly right, because in that interview
he should have found means to have strangled or stabbed
her with a poignard. Be his madness pretended or real,
the conduct of this man remains inexplicable.

An occurrence here (Puy haute Loire) has excited
much talk, both on account of its importance and the rack
of the parties. M. —, a young man, 23 years of age,
and married, had formed a connection with the wife of M.
D---, who, suspecting it, pretended to go on a journey,
returned, and found the gallant in bed with his wife. Ile
threatened to shoot M.l) if he did not jump out of
the window, which he did, and thereby broke several of
his bones in such a manner that his life is despaired of.
The wife found time to escape, and took refuge with ha
mother.—Gaze the de Lyon.
Extract of a letter from the agent to Lloyd's at Harwid,
dated January 20:—" The Leicester packet left Cuxhaven
on the 13th ins:ant, and reports that the light vessel at the
mouth of the Elbe was expected to be replaced on the fol-
lowing day. The red buoyi snot laid down at present, in
consequence of thick weather."
We yesterday mentioned that a company was likely to be
formed fur the establishment of spinning mills. A capital of
three millions sterling is about to be raised forthe establish-
ment of cotton manufactories in Ireland. Several others
undertakings of a similar nature are likely to be soon et
on foot; and we may therefore hope to see British capinl
extensively directed to the improvement of the state of the
sister kingdom. Steam-boats and railways may, perhap,
effect a revolution more beneficial to that country than any
political laws which could be enacted. There is at pre-
sent a greater demand for cotton goods, than all the Eng-
lish and Scotch manufactories together, with all their ad-
vantages of machinery, experience, and capital, can supply;
and it is not without reason conjectured, that the recogni.
Lion of the South American Republics will lead to a still
farther extension of this trade. We perceive that in Ire-
, land, as well as in England, joint stock companies are
spreading in every direction. There are the Hibernian
Banking Company, the Hibernian Gas Company, and
various others. The Bank of Ireland have reduced their
discounts from five to four per cent. on English bills, and
will give bills on London, payable at the Bank of England
at 21 days instead of 30. All these measures are indisput-
ably favourable to the development of industry; and we
may reasonably hope that with industry will come its na•
tural concomitants, order and tranquillity.
At a Meeting of respectable Inhabitants of the parish
of St. Michael, in this ('sty, held in their Vestry-room, on
Thursday, the 13th inst.—•
It was unanimously resolved, That this Meeting. desirous do.
pressing their admiration of the public and private virtues of their
noble visitor, the Right lion. the Earl of Liverpool, should avail
themselves of this opportunity of congratulating his Lordship or.
the improvement and restoration of his health, produced by the
a lutary and beneficial effects of the Bath waters; and of convey-
ing to him their very sincere and anxious hope that it may long
continue, and enable him to fulfil, as he has Millen° done, stint
such honour to him.elf, and satisfaction and bench: to his country,
the very arduous and important duties of his high station.

A deputation was appointed to wait tti on Ilia Lor, Ishir,
who, with Mr. Browne, the banker, as their Chairman,
presented the Ailtiress, prefaced by the fol:owing observa-
tions from Mr. Btownc:—

M Y LORD—I have the honour to rrment t:te unanimous vote of
congratulation on the restoration of your Lot el•ltip's health, which
was yesterday pass- d at a nie tins; of the rest ectable inhabitants of
St. /11 ic'tael ; at which meeting their thanks and gratitude were
expressed with enthusiasm for the eminent services rendered to the
country by your Lordship. In conveying this manifestation of
their feelings, I should be wanting in respect if I omitted to assure
your Lordship, that none felt a more sincere or anlent hope, that the
mtoration and convalescence of your Lordship might prove per.
manent and of very long duration, than myself.
Ilia Lordship, in reply, expressed himself sensible of the honour
done him by the very kind address of the parishioners of St. Michael;
and added, that he had certainly derived much benefit from the we
of the Bath waters on this as on a former visit—that he should, to
the end of his life, feel yleasure in the prosperity of the city of Bath,
and ever entertain a.grateful rerllertion of the very great resret
paid him by the parishioners of St. Alichael.—liaM I:azate.

A strange circumstance occurred on the night and morn-
ing of the 16th and lath inst. A party of military, with
their officers, stationed at the guard-Louse on the Boule-
vard Bonnes /Convenes, had arrested a party of pickpockeii
and women of the town, but, neglecting their duty, were
prcvailtd upon to take some wine. The thievts soon
doubled their portion, and plied the glass so ably, that they
a ion found an occasion to escape. 'the soldiers, upon re-
eavering, ran furiously upon the Boulevards in search o:
their prey, with drawn swords and fixed bayonets, and after
a deal of resistance, in which they wounded several persons,
they were secured and put into a hackney-coact, to br
cooveyed to prison, in which the military who arrested the
aggressors were assisted by the escort of the King. who
happened to be passing in the morning on his way to Vin-
cennes, on a shooting party, when the affray took place.
On Friday sennight a boat, containing the dead bah
of a man, was drifted on shore at Brought} Ferry. It was
soon discovered that the unffirtunate solikrer was a sea-
man, a young man of the name of Ray, belonging to
Dandee. This melancholy event seems to have originated
in drink ; he, with a companion, had gone down the rive:
in a boat along with a yeas:l which sailed on Thumb)
They were both intoxicated, and on their return the latter.
on coming on shore, had left his unfortunate companion in
the boat, which hail tlrifted away, at the mercy of win!
and tide, the poor man being unable to contend wiet
his fate, and led to the above catastrophe.---Fdisburgli Ma, •
A gentleman or Everton starttd, on Sunday morning,

against iiim, and his stoppages on the road took up one
hour and half, he arrived ten minutes within his time.
