LONDON, MONDAY, APMt 5, 1824.

The French Papers of Friday and Saturday reached our
ace last night. There is nothing of any leading interest
in their columns. The faction of pure Royalists, con-
-I.7ef,ated from the different Electoral Colleges throughout
:..'ran cc, assembled in their " Bureaux" on Friday to discus
the Address. On Saturday it was to go through the
mockery of a public discussion in the Chamber, where
au Address of the same character as Louis XV. received ,
from his Parliaments, was probably voted by the incor-
ruptible
Conservators of the (larks of France. On to-1
day Villele and his associates were to propose to the!
Chamber fcur prcjefs of law, to which, as far as numbers
go, no opposition, from the present arrangements made,
codlti be apprehended. '1 he first will be relative to the
septennial duration of the Chambers; the second to the
ewsints fcr 1622; the third un the revenue and expen-
donee of 1823 ; and the fourth on the great question
of the reduction of the interest of the National Debt to four
per cent., now in actual treaty with the capitalists, from
*his country, and M. Lafitte, the great Paris banker, who
was ousted by ministerial influence from his scat in the
Chamber. The proporition for an indemnity to the
emigrants,—that prraet of law, the minister adds, in the
Words of Louis's speech, which is to close the great
woead of the Revolution,—will not be presented to the
pelted Chamber, until after the law for the settlement
of the National Debt of France is arranged. The French
Cabinet have taketl cure to make " assurer ce doubly
surf in the per:. nt Chamber. A few may question the
policy of the measures proposed, and raise their feeble
voices against a large debt being incurred for the indem-
nification of the worthless emigrants who have outlived
the Revolution • but they will be clamourer! down, and
outvoted by hundreds; overwhelming majorities will carry
everything the French Ministers may propose, however
Lordensotne and repugnant to the country at large : any
dessassion will be a mere mockery.
