PARIS PAPERS.

PAM., WAY 4.

Yesterday being the anniversary of the King's
entrance into Paris, the national guard, both in.
friary and cavalry, took posoiession of all the posts
of the Palace of the Tuileries, after haring been
reviewed by Marshal
At noon the King heard mass in his apartments.
Immediately after Its. Majesty seated himself on
his throne, where be successively received the hrend
deputations from the two Chambers.
M. Kaye% Presillent of the Chamber of Depu-
ties, made the fallowing add►ess to the King :-
4, Sias—Year loyal subjects, the Hepatic' of the Depart.
menus, come to offer to your Majesty the respectful homage
of their sentiniems sad of their congratulations. The stay
which restored the soft of Henry IV. to the capital of his
kingdom, is become to France a pledge of safety and happi-
ness. We will teach oar children haw to celebrate the fro.
Heal ; and the acclamations of gratitude and love of a faith.
ful people will repeat to Europe, that the hearts of French-
mento►ar the Ant rampart of your Majesty's Tliromt."
His Majesty replied—

" I receive with pleasure the sentiments lithe Chamber
of Deputies and its congratulations. Mew pan away—
events rennin ; soul I hope that the memory of this day will
remniu for ever eagraveu in the hearts of all Frewchmew.'e

The King then successively received the Minis-
ters. the Marshals, •nd great Officers of State.—
The Officers of the national guard of Paris, of the
royal guard, the Swiss guard, the garrison, the
gendarmerie, then defiled before his Majesty. The
King presented to each of the Colonels of the 13
legions of the national guard of Paris a silver me-
dal of large size, representing the banners of the
13 legions ranged round • throne, on which ■re
placed the crown and ■c•ptre of France. The le-
gend is Regis ettstodia cioibas eredita. Oil the
ezergue is, its •nsioersa►iaas let Maii, MDCCCIIIV.

In the evening all the public buildings were illu-
minated.

A solemn mass was celebrated in the chapel of
the Irish seminary, in commemoration of the King's
return. M. Plunkett, Bishop of Elphio, deputed
by the Catholic Bishops of Ireland, officiated Pun-
tifically. The devotion of the Irish to the House
of Bourbon is recorded in our annals. It must be
remembered that the Irish brigades, after having
parsed the Rhine at the commencement of the Re.
volution, received from his Royal Highness Mon-
sieur, in recompense for their fidelity to his family,
new colours with the following device—" Steeper
et Nbitime fideles."
M. de Serre, Keeper of the Seals, has •trendy
left Nice. His Excellency was to stop a few days
at Grasse, whence he will proceed directly to Paris.
He is expected to arrive about the 15th.

The Committee to which the law of elections was
referred, has fiiii.lied its task, and has nominated
M. Leine to make the report to-morrow.
The Persian Amb4ssailor will set off this day on
his return to his native country.

In two clays three attempts hive been made to
destroy the forest of Re 1111,9. by fire. Seventy hec-
tares were consumed in six hours' time, and the
progress of the flames must have been incalcula-
ble, had it not been checked by the courage and
activity of the inhabitants of the neighbouring com-
munes and a compauy of artillery•.
The negro slaves of the Wood of Cuba have re-
rolled at San-Jsgu. The Governor of the Haven-

escorted by a sloop of war, to check the insurrection.

El Coagresro de Veer:sena, that the attack on

they would not even wait the arrival of General

tion4te sneers*, as Moitti.Lo would be obliged to
retreat into the fortress of Porto Cahallu.—The
Nun-Intercourse Act, imposed by the United
States between Bermuda mud Halifax, will ruin
those places fur u while—and we cuo►ider it as a
measure equal to a declaration of war."

A letter from Port Royal. dated 2311 of Febro-
sty, states, that the Ontario, Caw siii Gosutsu, had
captured and destroyed • pirate schooner. which
was plundering the Adiams, bound from 8re3.6.11

The theforio released the Indiana, and toi.k the
French brig called the Charles l'hill.;ppa, laden with
plunder, and sixteen prisoners, to Part Royal. The
Ontario had her First Lieutenant (LLOYD) and
three men wounded in the atttack.—Two of the
pirates have been since hung.

A letter from an Officer of Sir THOMAS HARDY'S
squadron (received by the Creole). says—

" MONTE VIDEO. JANUARY 20, 1820.

We (the Superb and Vengeurj, are at an-
chor tit this place, being unable. rum the shallow-
ness or the river, to get up .o high as Buenos
Ayres, which will be considered as the hesil-qoar-
ters of this station. The object of sending bitch
a force of ships (iarenely, Superb, Fenno., Hype-
rion, and Owen Gkndviver) to this part of the
world, is still a mystery to us. Conjecture (as
when we left England), poiitts to the measures of
Lord COCHRANE ; but his proceedings have been
all amicable; and we understand the Chihli' Go-
ornament is desirous of maintaining a good under-
standing with Great Britain.—Ttsis country has
been much distracted by revolution. The Govern-
ment of Buenos Ayres is by no gleans secure wow,
urising chiefly from dissentious among the Mem-
bers of it ; and the inhabitants are threatened with an
as!tack from Aaticiss, the Chief of the Montag-
items, or what in Spain are called Guerillas, whose
object aprears to be plunder."

The proposition submitted on Friday night to
the House of Composts by Mr. BROUGHAM was
so •Arictly consonant to the princip(ti or our con-
'dilution, that it is surprising hots it could have
been rejected by soy assembly of turn who profeo,

the existence of their own authority.

Abundant as money is in this city, it is still more
so in the principal commercial cities of Europe.
In Hamburgh, for instance, the rote of interest is
from one to one and a half per cent.; in Frank-
fort it is two per cent. exactly ; and in Paris it is
three per cent. In London the discount may be
termed four per cent. at present, though it seems
to he finding its level with the rate on the Con-
tinent. it having become of late an extensive
branch of commerce to remit capital to England
from those parts of Europe where the rate of
iu-
Icuest is low, in order to obtain the superior advan-
tages still held out by the money market of this
cottony, • practice which mast tend to approxi•
mutate the price all over Europe to one standard.—
