PARIS PAPERS.

Nous, cis. IL—The 31 battalion of the lit
regiment, and the 3dtattalion of the 4th regiment
of infantry, forming the lat field regiment, under
the command of Colonel de la Poteire, marched yes-
terday for the Army of Spain. These troops passed
through the Fauxbourg Saint-Germain, crying,
• Vive le Roi !"
The Duke of San Lorenzo set out yesterday for
London.
Yesterday General Count Guillemot, Chief of the
Staff of the Army of the Pyrenees, waited on th 3
Duke of Angouleme with maps of the the theatre of
the military operations. At four o'clock, Baron
d'Eroles had an audience of his Royal Highness.
Yesterday evening Baron Rothschild gave a grand
fete, to which above 1,100 persons were invited.
Among the considerable failures produced by spe-
culatione in the public funds, one is mentioned which
it is said moat be declared by a person who holds a
high financial employment.
We have accounts from Madrid, dated the 3d
instant. The city was tranquil, and despatches had
been received from tlic Count del Abisbal and Gen.
Velasco, detailing the advantages obtained over
Bessieres, whose banditti bad been routed on all
point..

Yesterday we received, by an extraordinary con-
veyance, accounts from Madrid, which announce
that the speech of the King on opening the Cham-
ben had arrived in that city. Its contents appear to
have created a great fermentation in the public
mind. There was no idea of the ministerial changes
which have been the subject of report.
Accounts from Marseilles state, that barracks are
preparing in the neighbourhood of that town for
troops either to be embarked or disembarked; which,
it is not yet positively known. It is known, how-
• ever, that this business relates to the preparations for
the expedition in the Pyrenees.
Bayonne, Frs. 7.—The remainder of the French
Legation has just arrived from Madrid, and the
. whole suite of M. Lsgarde, who will immediately
set out for Paris. The Envoy of Prussia left this
place for Paris yesterday.
The preparations for war continue. The first co-
lumn of the troops which are on their march from
the interior, is expected on the 17th; they will era
rive successively till the 40th of next month. These
new reinforcements are estimated at 15,000 men,
independently of the 10 or 14,000 whom we have
already in this country. The troops in our garrison
do duty as in time of war, and every thing assumes
• a hostile appearance. We expect M. Slur& the
• new Intendant-General of our corps of the army, ae
well as a great number of 'military estpfors.
The aecounts which we receive from the frontiers
of Spain speak of the effect which the King's speech
has produced there. The Servile' impatiently ex.
pect the entrance of the French troops, and the
Constitutionalists are preparing to receive them..—
They continue to fortify and provision Pampeinna
and St. Sebastian, but the latter place will nut be
to a condition to resist an attack.
Several French vesiels in our port, which were in
lading for distant ports in Spain, and even four that
were intended fur Lisbon. have re-lauded their
goods, and their voyage is deferred.
( EXTRACT or A IPRFFATE LITTER.)
I' FRANKFORT' FEB. 7,-1 have already fold you
that Prince Metternich came to Munich with a
letter from the Emperor to the King of Bavaria, in
which it was mid, among other things, ' I send you,
my Chancellor, to explain to you the acts of the
Congress of Verona, and to inform you of my views
end wishes as to the affairs of Germany.' These
views were explained in a memorial presented by
the Prince to the King, and were principally directed
towards giving a different interpretation to the last
act of the ,Congress of Vienna, relative to the liberty
of the Prem, and the publicity of the debates of the
Representative Assemblies.
Von are already informed, however, how much
Prince Metternich was disappointed at Munich. and
that he left it without having obtained any thing,
though he pretended to have, overcome some obsta-
cles. On his nrrival at Kerala, he is even said to
have shewn to M. Blitteradorf; Minister of Baden to
the Diet, but who had been sent to Vienna, a de-
claration of Bavaria, in which the King was made
to promise acquiescence in the views detailed in the
above memoir, and that he would give instruction
on the subject to his Minister at the Diet. Count
lischberg, Bavarian Minister of Foreign Affairs, was
asked, in full Council, what declaration had been
given on this matter, either in the Lame of the
King, Or in his own name? lie replied, that the
King's answer to the Emperor had been drawn up in
the most general terms. and to which he, the Mi.
ulster, had added, both verbally and in willing, that
it was necessary to wait fur the Austrio-Prussian
propositionsk that the Ministers would reserve to
themselves to examine and discuss these propositions
in full council before they would give instructions to
the Bavarian Minilter at the Diet. Olt this, Prime

upon this, as upon all other occasions, obey their in-
structions, but he should feel now, forth* first time, that
his duty was a painful one. He ha beets taught Irota
his earliest years, that no man should put his hand rate
his neighbour's pocket because his own wasempty. Ti,
touch the funded property, would be to deprive not the
rich, but the poor of their small pivances. The revenue
of the chisels ought not to be reduced, but equalized.
The Rev. G. Hoowea moved the thanks of the
meeting to Lord F. Osborne, who reunited thinks. •
The thanks of the meeting were also voted se the
High Sheriff, who returned thanks, and declared it
dissolved.

In consequence of the present state of the Con-
tinent, and the prospect of hostilities, a rive is ex-
pected in the price of sugar, and all the articles of
war.
Mr. Canning arrived at Harwich on Tuesby
morning, and we% of course, together with Mr.
Herries, elected without opposition. He remained
during the day, and afterwards dined with the Cor-
poration. He was in the chair, and in the course of
the afternoon addressed the company several times.
—With respect to the present aspect of affairs, he
avowed a full concurrence in the sentiments deli-
vered by Lord Liverpool at the opening of the Ses-
sion. A continuance of puce, he said, was unques-
tionably felt as being of the utmost importance,
but, if unhappily a state of hostility should be
eventually unavoidable, the country was fully pre-
pared to meet the emergency. If it were assumed,
that exhaustion had succeeded to our gigantic effinis
in the late contest, that was certainly a most erro-
neous conclusion.
The Spanish Minister transacted business for a
toneiderable time at the Foreign-office on Thurtday
