FItENCH PAPERS

French Papers to the 31st ult. arrived yesterday. They
contain a report of the discussion in the Chamber of Depu-
ties on Monday, on thel3udget. The plan proposed by the
Government meets with considerable opposition. The rais-
in.?, the interest upon the bills issued by the Government to
eight per cent. and a sale of a part of the forests, are strongly
objected to. It is suggested, on the other hand, that the
best system would be to keep the intetest at five per cent. and
by appropriating five per cent. or more on the amount of the
debt, to farm a Sinking Fund for its gradual extinction, in
1 4 ears or less, instead of paying it oil' in three years by the
produce of the sale of forests, &c. as proposed by the Go-
vernment. The discussion, in the manner it is conducted,
seems likely to last for several days.
The Civil List has been fixed by the Chamber of Deputies
lat (25,000,000 francs for the King, 3,000,000 in domains,
and 8,000,000 for the Princes of the Blood.
Thee Papers make no mention of the departure of Lotd
Cast let eagh.
Some particulars are detailed of the fete given by the City
of Paris to the King on Monday.
An article from \%atsaw speaks of the Committee sprint-
ed to form a new Constitution for Poland continuing its la-
bours; but by whom this Committee has been nominated
does not appear; no notice that we have observed having be-
fore been taken of it in tbe foreign papers.

The Paris Papers of the 20th ult. contain an article, dated
from Augsburgh, which at the preset t moment is of consi-
derable importance.—li relates to the intentions of Austria,
which power is stated to be occupied in extending its influ-
ence in Italy, where it is said, Lombardy and Venice are to
form one Province, under its dominion. Tuscany, . Parma,
and Mcdena, arc attached to Austria by family tics; and it
is added, that she also looks forward to the Crown of Sardi-
nia passing to a Plince of her House. The King of Naples,
it is alleged; is compelled by circumstances to cling to the
House of Austria.• The Pope is surrounded, and his remon-
strances whit regard to the three Legations have been ineffcc-
tual. Genoa stands in need of the protection of France, and
Austrian troops still occupy Piedmont. It is then ;toed,
that the English fleets cruise on the coasts of the Adriatic
and the Mediterranean, that they occupy Corfu and the hnian
is!cs, and have a force at Genoa. After this summaty the
article concludes by stating, that all these great interest; are
to be regulated at the Congress of Vienna, and that no dis-
cussions, as involving the fate of nations, were ever morenn-
Portant than those that will take place at this Assembly. The
jealousy of Austria prevailing in France is evidently emboded
in this article, which is probably of Paris manufacture. It
is published too at a period when the Ministers of the diffe-
rent Powers are about to assemble previous to the meeting qf
Congress, and as the Paris Papers alc entirely under the cot,
,roul of the Covernment, tl.e at tide, no doubt, speaks the
vtcws and sentiments of the French Can't.

In the Fr nch Chamber of Deputies on Friday senniiiht
M. 31-trolard proposed an address to the King, pra.iii that
the Judges mar be made indepeudant.of the Crown, confor-
to the Constitutional Charter. It wa:: decided that
