FRENCH PAPERS.

Yesterday we received the Paris journals of Saturtlay,
with the Etude or Sunday.

[From the Jortrnal des Debats.l
PARIS JAN. M.

The Monikirr of to-day contains an extract of the proceedings
instituted against the Revolutionists of Lombardy, whose condem-
I nation we noticed yesterday, with the names of those who have been
finally judged for contumacy The extract of this proceeding is
very long. The exposi of the formation, organiastion, and pro-
jects of the double ants of the Carbonarists and Adellists consti-
tutes the greater pan of this extract. We see by it that there two
sects, divided only in name, but united by the criminal end of their
institution, exercised the most powerful influence over the political
events of which the different states of Italy were the theatre, and
had nearly been the victims, in 111211 and libll. Compte Waal°.
nieri was the chief mover of this vast conspiracy.
An article in the San, English paper, of the "!Bth inst. states
that the speech of the King of England will declare the formal
recognition of the independence of the Spanish Colonies ; it is ad-
' del that France and Russia would immediately follow the example
of Great Britain. %%'e are imiorart of the politics of there several
Courts; but we shall be much surprised if the speech from the
throne of England should contain any thing so precise and formal.
It is a parliamentary maxim, that the speeches should only be
'I
in general terms, and so give a liberty for this or that part I
to be espoused, according to circumstances, and the course which
the di-cuesions of the House may take. We can hardly believe'
that the cabinet of St. James's will publicly declare itself on so
important an affair, before being informed of the intentions of
Spain (who, it seems to us, is not the last that deserve. to be
heard on this question); and before having received the reports of
the English Commissioners sent to the Spanish colonies. Hut the
reports will not be able to reach Europe much before the end of
April next.
The San, a morning paper, gratulates itself as much at giving
this good news to its readers, as it supposes an evening journal (the
Con fir,. possibly) would at giving an entirely opposite account.
We leave these two great authorities, the San and the Conrier,!
to dispute with themselves, for the purpose of raising and sinking ;
the funds at the Loudon Exchange.

PARIS, JAN. se.
The Electoral Sessions, in France as well es in England, will
give rise to some anecdotes more or less piquant. The journalists
on the other side of the water take care to collect those which beat
characterise the manners and humours of their nation. We are
going to place before the reader a case of this kind, where each,
here at borne with us, plays equally well the part that suit% him.
M. deVieux-Castel, Sub-prefect of the Arrondissement of rkeaux,
where he had been for about a year, having been solicited by the
Ministers to favour by his influence the earwig of M. Roy, a banker
at Paris, although they had appeared to take part with M. Comte
de Chiteau-Girun, who was at first nominced President of this
College, this forgetfulness was remarked by Al. Vieux-CasteL
It was replied, that thm pretensions of Count de Chiteau-tiiron
would be deferred to another srssion, a time when the pro raises of
friendship could be followed by the good offices that realize them.
11. de Vieux-Castel submitted.

These new rceotionciAlations from authority being, however, the
occasion of stone expensive entertainments, the Sub-Prefect
begged to rematk, that as these feasts came out of his official al-
lowances, it was not natural that he should hear the charge of
them; an observation without doubt very just, for this functionary
the next day received a bag of twelve hundred franca; a circum-
stance fully justified by the result, as well as by the account fur.
r.ished to the Minister.
M. Roy was naiad Deputy for Paris.
