The Paris Papers of Saturday, 'Which have arriv-
ed duce our last publication, contain no additional
intelligence respecting the recent changes in the
Spanish Cabinet; and though some of them affect
to give private letters from Aix-la-Chapelle, the
few facts they communicate relate only to the a►-
rivals of great personages, and have been already
published in the London Papers. Their specula.
lions ■nd rumours are the mere gossip of an idle
city. cud are probably made public for the sole
pu►pose of mystifying the million, who look with
awe and wonder to the mysterious assemblage of
so many of the rulers of rnankiud.

We learn with sincere regret that Signor BEL.
EOM, who, by his recent discoveries among the
ruins of Egyptian grandeur, has enriched the Bri-
tish Museum with several valuable relics, has
lately died at Cairo. The name of this gentleman
is favouribly known to every asaa of taste and
ocicsice in Europe. He had been for some years
incessantly and indefatii,ntbly employed iu Egypt,
under the twotectiou of the British Government, in
tracing the monuments of antiquity, in which his
efforts hive been attended with the most brilliant
success. He had laid open the front of the Great
Spisynx, and made these interesting and surprising
discoveries which we had the satisfaction some time
'ago to communicate to our readers. With a toga-
city and perseverance seldom equalled, he opened
the great Temple at Ipsambul, which was covered
in many parts with tiNtl to the depth of fifty feet.
At Thebes he iiiade inany surprising discoveries,
and theisee 'brought away the magnificent head of
the statue of Memnon, which is stow deposited in
me arum museum. It MOUND tar emcee° our rt.
snits were we to fallow Signor BEV/LONE in his vs-
nous researches, his surprising diaceeery of the
Egyptian catacombs, itt one of which he discovered
81/ exquisitely beautiful asscophagus of alabaster,
nine feet five inches lung. by three feet nine inches
wide, suunditig like a bell, and transparent as glue,
and ornamented with hieroglyphics and figures in
intaglio. Hopes 'were entertained iu this country
that this precious relic of antiquity might, by Sig-
nor BELZONI'S care and the munificence of the
British Museum, be brought to this country, fur
the inspect. of the European world, but we fear
that the uutioe_•ly death of this eittraordiiirry mean
may prevent the fulfilment of 'Otis pleasing expec-
tation.

The most extraordinary, ItOwever, of Signor
BELZONI'I labours, and that which most displays
his sagacity and tirmitear, and the entittpissin of
his character, is the opening of the second pyramid
of Ginza, known by the home of Cephrenes' Pyramid.

Governor BaowNalGO was at Candy, confined by an

The Dablin Evening Post of Thursday, which

officers on board the ship (;race:—" It was some
time ago mentioned in the accounts from the West
Indies, that the British officers in the ship Vretee
had been captured by the Royalists, and all on
board were massacred. We are happy to state that
the report was unfounded, sod that the Geutko►en
are safe, after several hair-breadth escapes. Imme-
diately on their departure from Grenada, a Royalist
vessel bore down upon their small schoouer, the
O Liberian, which she watched for several days.—
The enemy was seen in full chase from the land.
several shots were heard, and the lirivateer returned
nest day, with three of her crew missing, which, as
well as some other suspicious circumstances, give
rise to the rumour that the 0 Liberian had been
tekcii, and all on board massacred ; hut they have
arrived safe at Augusturs, after rucounterisig va-
rious kind► of danger."
