LONDON, :MONDAY, JANUARY 31, MC

We have received the Paris Papers of Thursday and
Friday. The discussion of the Ministerial projects is con-
tinued with increasing warmth and gravity. It is evident
that the mind of the Frenchlpeople is seriously agitated by
the extravagant and alarming measures now before the
Chambers, and the apprehensions they have produced u
to what nanq, end-indeed, in consistency with the principles
on which they are framed, mast follow them. Since the
proposal of the indemnity to the sufferers by the Revolu-
tion, every one is on the alert to bring forward some proof
of his sufferings. All arc anxious to prove themselves in
some respect the victims of the Revolution. " Happy
times," exclaims the Co:: rria Francais, " when the vic-
tims are distinguished only by their honours, their splen-
dor, their places, their pensions, their carriages, and their
servants! since the business of suffering has become so lu-
crative, everybody wishes to prove himself a sufferer. Deeds
and parchments are examined with care, and every man
seems to say to himself—Who knows if I myself may not
also havebeen a victim, without ever suspecting it?" The in-A
quirks are not, however, it appears, altogether confined
to researches for indemnities. The holders of the national
domains have been looking back at the history of those
who are now such ardent champions of the emigrants, in
order to ascertain whether they have always bud similar
feelings towards them, and it is found not only that
the very M. CAISIMIE eas PCYMAURIN, who lately, in
the Chamber of Deputies, denounced the present posses-
sow; of the estates of the emigrants as no better than rob-
bers, is himself the possessor of one of those estates, but
that M. DE VAL'DI.AxC and H. DE PASTOMET, who are
now appointed by the French Government to support the
claims of the emigrants, were, during the Revolution, their
roost decided enemies. On the Ist of December, 1791,
M. nr VAVILANC, at the bead of a Deputation of the
National Assembly, addressed Louis XVI. and urged him
ro adopt energetic measures against the German States,which
were favouring the " criminal designs of the emigrants."
Ina previews sitting of the Assembly, M. DE VAUSLANC
had made an jtnpassioucel speech, calling for the severest
enactments against all the emigrants. Yet it is this very
man vrbo, 33 it were, in mockery of public decency, is al-
pointed to prove that these same emigrants are sufferers
who deserve to be indemnified for every loss they sustained
in promoting dick " criminal designs." Generally speak-
ing, in England we have no idea of the excessive pro-
fligacy of the French public men. This instance of M.
on Van csaree, by no means singular in France, will in
same degree illustrate the dunking state of public morals in
that c runtry. As the question of irstlenthity is farther con-
sidtae.l, fresh difficulties arise as to its mode of execution.
The Ministerial project provides for the payment of the
creditors of the old proprietor, previous to the con-
fiscation, but no provision at all is made as to the new ere-
ditors of the emigrant, nor as to those of his represen-
tative. As the renter granted by way of indemnity cannot
for any purpose be assigned by the emigrants, ortaken
from them, the two latter classes of creditors will in fact
be comploely excluded from all chance of payment.
The budget of 182 ti, h is stated, will not be laid before
the Chambers until after the report of the Committee ap-
pointed to inquire into the expenses of the army in Spain.
The ultra royalist papers are quite elated at the diffleul-
tits into which they suppose the English Government will
be plunged by two recent events, deeply affecting, as they

,
• j!

prltems to believe, the independence of the new American
&Aka. '1 he AeiJtatytze announces, that the Colombian
Envoy, who was dispatched to Rome, has found it neces-
sary to re.T:3i!l at Bologna, and that, according to all ap-
pcarancus, Lr Ica. obtain no aliswer whatever from the
Pore, who, •✓I. arc told, is desirous of maintaining the
most fritnily relations with Spain. This story we have
every reason to consider wholly unfounded. The POPE,
we know, Las sanctioned the ecclesiastical arrangements of
some of the new States, though perhaps his tiouniss

•

views with displeasure the inroads the new Governments
have made in Colombia and Chili on the property of the
church. We wish he was advised to quarrel outright with
them: w• might then expect the formal overthrow of his
usurped authority over them. The other event, so dan-
gerous to us, is the Boston story of Bot.ivAit's defeat.
" What will the Cabinet of St. James's do now ?" asks the
Quotidienne with diverting importance. Poor Cabinet,

" Almost afraid to know itself!"
What the prices of Shares will he to-day we know not, for
the Quutidienne gives the mining speculators fair notice,
that the King of SPAIN will not recognise their claims.'
They could not expect him to do so. They knew that he
would not pay his own debts. They relied upon his in-
ability to interfere with them, and they have nothing yet to
fear, in spite of the Boston Centinel and the Quutidienne.
We cannot refrain from transcribing the advice given by
the latter to Mr. CANNING; it is irresistibly ludicrous:—
" Let him take care. It is perhaps yet time to revoke the
recognition of independence. If it be deferred later it
will have the appearance either that he is diappointed in
his calculations, or that he yields to his fears!" Prodigious!
These are the piliticians of thej ultra school ! These are
the men who are to be indemnified for their wisdom and
patriotism !
It is stated in the Monilear that Marshal SUCIIET is

From the Etrile dated Saturday we make the following
extracts from the Madrid Gazettes of the 20th instant.
The news from South America is, our readers well know,
wholly untrue, yet the extracts arc perhaps not altogether
unworthy of perusal, as specimens of the excellence to
which the art of fabricating intelligence can be carried,
where the mystery is confined to licensed hands. In our
extracts from the private correspondence of the French
Papers, it will be seen that the determination of the British
Government to recognise the new States had reached Ma-
drid. 'Fite wretched Cabinet had despatched Notes to the
Great Powers, invoking, we suppose, their pity and assist-
ance. Whatever compassion FERDINAND may obtain, aid he
will have none : indeed, if the High Allies were disposed to
give it they could not. How could they interfere with
arms but to his prtjutlice ? The Crown of the Indies has
passed for ever from the brows of the Botnaoes. They
have justly forfeited it. FERDINAND, however, will reign
as long as he can—in imagination at least. It will be the

business of the Madrid Gazette, by way of Puerto Rico or
Boston, to solace him with continual victories over the
"rebels," long after all the commercial States of Europe
shall have acknowledged the independency of his revolted
colonies :

" The King continues to accompany Prince Maximilian of
Ftaxony, to all the public establishments. His Majesty, consider-
ing the &teat age of Don Ignsee Martinez de Villela, and the mul-
titude ut signatures he Is obliged to give every day, both as Pre-
sident of the Council and of the Camara, has authorised him to
sign simply I.M. tie Villels. except when the KiuYg himself signs.
" Our last letters from Mexico are of tad Nov amber. At that
time the Republicans continued to tear each other to pieces. They
have beta beaten in the provinces of Tabasco and Yucatan, which
continue to trade with the Havannah. _ .

" Accounts from Terra Firma say also that the most sanguinary
anarchy ruses in Guatimala and Chiapa.
" The Government has also received despatches from Callao,
dated the 17th September., They are of the most satisfactory
nature. The junction of the Vice Roy and Canterse. and the de-
parture from Lima on the preceding day, of a column of cavalry,
which marches on the flanks of the rebel Bolivar, drawn into this
position by the able manceuvres of Camerae ; every thing ptoinised
a complete triumph to the King's arms. General Ramirer had just
taken from the Insurgents 360 prisoners, arms, horses. &c.
" In Chili there were such violent cosimotions that it wasimpoe-
sible but then should be a reaction in thht country in less than a
year.
•• The faithful Royalists of the soi-disent Republic of Co-
Innib!a, imit.ting the example of the unconquerable Guerillas of
the Peninsula, which diJ w much injury to Bonaparte, have or-
ganised parties, under the command of Cisneros and Ramirez,
which spread terror even to the walls of Carew.
" The Pastures have levied a considerable corps, which is
marching against the Colombians.
" We see," says the Gazette of Madrid, " how much we must
distrust the lying narratives of certain public journals. Their ob-
ject is to delude weak and credulous minds, and to make them
believe in the solidity of the Republican loans."
• This is the game day that Bolivar's defeat mast have tsten
place.—Note tf UK Etui:e.

We have given from the French Papers the latest intel-
ligence respecting the Greeks which we believe to be
authentic. The Etoile considers it to be quite confirmed
that the Egyptian fleet, after its defeat off Candia, was
again beaten at Spino Longa, with the loss of several ves-
sels more. There is an idle story in the Elate, represent-
ing the Greeks to be divided into three factions—Macao-
(ol..l)ATO for England, VAitvAxi for Russia, and CoLoco-
•rsoNt for the Turks! According- to more credible .accounts
in the same Paper, it appears that the Insurgent military
chiefs have been completely defeated, and that Cotoco-
vrtom has offered his submission. His allusion to his
former services, and the death of his two sons in the
revolt, is deeply affecting, and may, we hope, on certain
conditions for his future good conduct, atone for his
offences. The Austrians are endeavouring to pick a quar-
rel with die Greeks, but after this manifestation of the firm-
ness and solidity of the tireek Government, we may expect
that its enemies will treat it with somerespect. The revolt'
of CoLocovaotri, so easily and- speedily subdued, has
proved that Greece has nothing to fear from intestine dis-
cord, and as to the next campaign of the SULTAN, if there
should be one, they who, disorg2nised, divided, and with-
out resources, have frustrated four attempts to subdue
them, have nothing to dread from the fifth attack of a de-
clining power, which they have so often defeated in the
fulness of its strength. On the 11th December M. MINZI.•
MAY bad a conference with the Reis Effendi : it was long
and very friendly. On the 13th he announced to the Di-
plomatic Body at Constantinople that lie had entered on
his functions, and he has paid the customary visits.

By the Lisbon Papers we rneived yesterday we observe
that the King of NATI:GM. manifests a sensitiveness, with
respect to the press, which gives us but an unfavourable
augury of the political course he intends to follow towards
his people. His Most Faithful MAJL STY, by one order,
withdraws his patronage from a Periodical, because its
author had not followed the principles his M•JESTI
approved. We can conceive no degradation of the royal
authority greater than this paltry intermeddling with these
ephtnneral productions. Caws w et.r., when urged to sup-
press some daring libels on his Government, said wisely,
that he carol not for paper shot. It would be well for
other Rulers, we think, if they could fuel or would affect
a similar contempt of the pamphlets of the day. A Govern-
ment has the strongest interest to know what is the state
of public opinion as to its proceedings. How can it arrive
at this knowledge if no voice is to be uttered but that of
praise? We hear nothing further regarding the Consti-
tutional Charter which JOII'N VI. promised to grant his
subjects. He should be advised to strengthen his throne
by supporting it with the affection of his people, instead of
issuing mid D:crees for the regulation 2f the periodical
press.

THE BRITISH PRt,ESS•

The conduct of the Times with respect to Mt. K EA);
deserves to be noted. By favour of Mr. Alderman Cox,
this journal obtains a mass of private letters, which it
wantonly publishes to the world, and then abuse, the sup-
posed writer as an obscene wretch for having composed
them. For this offence, the act of composition, we mean
the publication being wholly the work of the Timmer, it
then proposes, in deference to outraged morals, to hoot
KEAN from the stage. Laboured articles are sent
forth to prove that he who could write what the
Times had thought fit unnecessarily to publish, should
be proscribed -as a monster only a little better in degree
than " Ile NT, the friend of Tnuar e it., and joint mur-
deter of We AaL." For two evenings, by a small but well-
organized party, the theatre is rendered a scene of the most
disgusting uproar : after the first, the Tiotestleclares that the
house was packed by the performer's friends, and, as an in-
stance, states the fact chat KEAN bad given his tailor free
admissions for all his men, who (doughty champions !) were
sent to cry down the Times and public morals. On the second
night, unfortunately for the dainty Journal that made the
o'oseene publication, the turbulent faction uithdrew at the
end of the play, when they considered their work done.
The house however remained, to all appem-ance, as full
as ever; and, after the Pantomime had commenced, the
Manager, who, while the rioters were in the house, could
obtain no hearing, was called forward from the box in whit&
he was sitting. Mr. KEAN himself was next produced, and
heard patiently. The Times itself gave his speech the next
morning, professing to repeat the very words he uttered.
Where were the " friends of public morality ?" Gone
to rejoice at their rendezvous over their supposed success;
the unprejudiced public remained, and they heard what
was addressed to them, What then does the Times?
Compelled to contradict its falsehood as to Mr. KEAN'S
tailor, and finding its malignant efForts defeated, it ex-
claims—" Wo be to us as a people if the cireenscs occupy
our thoughts as objects of national interest !" I{-ho
attempted to make them so but the Times? A week
ago, if KEAN was not hunted down, our public morals
were gone for ever ! Not able to glut its malignity
with his ruin, it takes its fill of revenge on the audience:
" They wore blanket great-coats, which concealed (and per-
haps it was so much the better that they did) all the rest of
their garments. They seemed to be that active, if not
honest, fraternity who usually ply about the stage-
coaches, and arc called cods.'" This is the descrip-
tion given by the Times, of the company in the pit.
This gross and indecent attack has given such general of-
fence, that even the party opposed to Mr. KLAN are dis-
gusted with it. Any private individual, whose character
is not known, may borrow the cloak of a Saint, and pass
for one; for, in getieral, taking the world as it gots,
Hypocrisy will serve as well
T. propagate a cause as zeal:
So round white stones will serve, they say,
As well as eggs, to make hens lay.
But for the Times journal to set itself up as a guide to the
English public, as to how they should think and act in all
matters connected with moralitN, it is too laughable. In
all the circles where the Times is known, we ace
'- Laughter holding both his sides."
This " obscene" journal first strives to foment the most
rancorous feelings of vengeance against Mr. KEAN, and
having prostituted its columns to gratify the basest pur-
poses of envy and malice, and failed in .its object, it ex-
claims, " Wo be to us if the circenses occupy our
thoughts."

Saturday being the anniversary of the King's Accession,
was a holiday at the Bank, and therefore no business for
money was done on the Stock Exchange. The time
bargains were done at 93a 1 and e. The market was heavy
throughout the day, and the prices rather on the decline;
indeed, the quotations that we have made are proof of that.
The foreign market was a shade better in all securities.
Austrian Bonds were at all improved price. Old Brazilian
Scrip was 151, New 311, Buenos Ayres 911 and 1, Chili
871 to 8, New Colombian 901 Danish Sterling 101,
Greek 571 and 7, and still looking up, Mexican 811 to 81,
Neapolitan 901, Peruvian 834, Old Prussian 1001, New
995, Spanish 22 to 211, Russian NH, New Spanish
15t, French Renter 1031, the Exchange 25 10, French
Scrip 141. The principal business seems now to be doing
in the Foreign Stocks and Mines, which were all better on
Saturday, and the English Funds appear a secondary con-
sideration with the speculators. During the week the
Consol market was heavy, and the Account prices on Sa-
turday, which arc all that we can quote, it being a holi-
day, are the lowest of the v
The Address upon the King's Speech will, it is expected,
he moved, in the House of Lords, by Viscount Dudley and
Ward, who sat in the House of Commons as the Hon.
J. W. Ward, and made some speeches of great promise,
one particularly in favour of the Catholic Question. In
the House of Commons, the Address will be moved by
Lord Francis Levison Gower, son of the Marquess of
Stafford. _ _

Mr. Crouch, a King's Messenger, arrived at the Fo-
reign Office, Downing-street, yesterday morning, bringing
despatches from the Right Hon. Henry Wellesley, the
British Ambassador at Vienna.

Mr. Draffen, another King's Messenger, also arrived
yesterday at the Foreign Office, with ckspatches to Mr.
Secretary Canning, from Sir F. Adam, the Lord nigh
Commissioner of the lonian Islands.

There has been a great mortality in a abort time
amongst the Monarchs of the Continent. Within one
year, France, Sardinia, Tuscany, and Naples, have lust
their rulers. _ _

The Oriental Spectator, the paper published at Smyrna,
in the pay of the 'rucks, states, that the Report of Admiral
Miaulis, respecting the battle near Candia, is full of ex-
aggeration, and that it would, appear, as soon as the wind
was favourable, whether the Ottoman fleet had sought a'
port from fear, as the Greeks had affirmed. The same
Journal of the I 4th Dec. says, " The fleet of the Viceroy
of Egypt, about 110 sail, left Marmariza on the .sth Decem-
ber, for the Morea. Authentic accounts state, that Ibrahim
Paella, according to hit father's instructions, will stop in
Candia, unload, and send away all his transports, ant
convey the troops to their destination in the ships of war.
Many inconveniencies will be thus avoided, and no trans-
ports with provisions or troops will run the risk of falling
in a storm into the hands of the insurgents."
Tire Boast est: 11'916—Although Government has not
received any recent official despatches from India, an offi-
cer has, within these few days, arrived from Madras, who
has communicated some extremely interesting details relat-
ing to the Burmese war, and the views entertained on that
topic by the most able and intelligent of stationed in
that country. Of the result of the war there exists no
doubt in any quarter; but, for the sake of numerous petty
Governments which are entirely dependent on the British
Power in India for their tranquillity, and the peaceable
possession of their legitimate territory, it is deemed abso-
lutely necessary to show, that we can, at any moment, in-
crease the number of British troops, a force every way
more formidable than the native army. It is also import-
ant that no violation of the dignity or rights of England,
or her East Indian allies, should be committed with im-
punity. The Burmese troops are stated to be, principally,
a sort of militia force, and, although not formidable in the
field, there have occurred some extraordinary examples of
passive courage in the stockades, where they have suffered
themselves to be cut down without any attempt at surren-
der or self-preservation.—Currier.
