LONDON, MONDAY. JANUAIT 10,1825.

The Paris Papers of Friday arrived last night. The at-
tention of the French public seems divided between two
principal subjects the first, and to them most immedi-
ately interesting, is the Royalist indemnity, and the colla-
teral measure for reducing the renter; the other is the
recognition of the new American States by the British
Government. All the new interests that have arisen in
France since the Revolution are opposed in principle to
the Minister's plan of indemnity to the Royalist suf-
ferers',; and even the Royalists themselves complain of the
incide of execution, evidently devised by M. de VILLE LE to
render himself for several years to come absolutely
11:aster of their fortunes. But as connected with the
reduction of the rentes, the Minister's plan is attacked wth
great vigour, and, on his own showing, with unanswerable
force. • Ile represents that the emigrants are as just and
rightful creditors of the State, as the actual stockholders,
yet he proposes to treat them quite differently. To the latter
t:e dress an augmentation of one-third of their capital, on
eendition of reducing their interest'from five to three per
cent. A stockholder now possessing 100,000 francs at five
percent. will, if he should avail himself of the option given
by the proposed law, become entitled to a capital of 133,333
fraues at three per cent. Ilis annual income will, by this
operation, be reduced, at the end of this year, front 6,000
to 4,030 francs. lie will suffer no suspension of his rights
for a single hour, and though his income will be di-
r:irishel, his principal will be considerably increased. Let
s new look at the condition of the emigrant, who, le-
trdiag to the Minister's own representations, is every whit
as much entitled to be considered a public creditor as the
stockholder himself. Suppose the case of a Royalist, whose
.state was worth 125,000 francs when it was confiscates:
it v:ould be sold for at least a fifth less than its slue;
it is estimated in the registers of sale at one hundred
thousand francs, for which he is to receive indemnity
as a public creditor in every respect, standing on the
SW; footing of justice as the stockholder. The emi-
grant, though be Las lost his rents for thirty-three
years, is to have no increase of his capital ; be is to re-
ceive only a principal sum of 100,000 francs, bearing an
interest of three per cent., and payable by five instalments
year by year. Ile must wait till nee before he can obtain
the indemnity for his estate, worth 123,000 francs; and
what does be get at last? 100,000 francs of capital, yield-
ing him an income of 3,000 francs, while the stockholder,
who, the Minister says, has no better right than the emi-
grant, will receive an immediate augmentation of one
third of his capital: so that he who is now entitled to
100,000 francs of capital, will next year be the possessor
of 133,333, yielding an income of 4,000 francs annually.
To such attacks as these the French Minister is fairly ex-
posed, and we do not see bow he can escape the horns of
11w dilemma : either the emigrant has not as good a right
to be considered a public creditor as the actual smckholder,
Gr. the Ministerial projects are unjust.
'With respect to the recognition of the American States,
the Royalists :Seri to hold a high tone, and even to menace
England with the displeasure of the Holy Alliance. The
Etoile hints somewhat broadly that it will be regarded as a
••.declaration, not only against Spain, but also against the
principles which direct the polities of all the Cabinets of
Europe." This sentence closes with a lofty sound, but it
will infuse no fear into our breasts. The British Cabinet
hu well weighed its duties and its interests. It gave all
parties fair seaming what it held itself free to do, and it
• indicated from time to time the approach of the act which
has just been formally announced. What bad faith can
the Allied Cabinets reproach us with ? On the contrary,
ell has been frank, open, and friendly, not towards the
colonies merely, but towards misguided Spain.
The AlL.aiteur contains the project of law respecting
Laerilage, to which we alluded a few days ago. This is the
great measure to which the French Clergy look for the
restoration of their last power over the people; but, unless
we are wholly miataken in cur estimate of them, it will
but increase the alienation that already subsists. " Every
overt act committed vole ntazily, and through hatred or
contempt of religion, on the sacred utensils, or the con-
