FRENCH PAPERS.

PARIS, Fee. 11.—The cause pending between
M. Jacques Lafitte, the banker, and Counts Mon-
thulm and Bertrand, the bearers of the note writ-
ten by Napoleon Buonaparte. in which he desires
M. Lafittee to pay into their hands six months after
his decease, the sum of five millions, deposited with
him in the month of July, 1815, at the time of bis
departure for St. Helena, was yesterday called on
before the First Chamber of the Tribunal of the
First Instance. M. Lafitte declared that he could
not pay over the money, except in the presence of
the guardians of Buonaparte's heir, or those duly
authorised : but in the mean time he offered to place
the money in the chest of the office for deposits.
A serious difficulty also arose from the claim of
interest for five years and a half, at the rate of 5 per
cent, M. Lafitte contended that no stipulation had
heen made as to that point at the time the five mil-
lions were remitted to him i • and that considering
them as kucred trust, he had made no use whatever
of the money.
Itt. Dupla was ready to state the ease on behalf
of the plaintiik but oa acaount of the number of
causes already cesitneneed, end the pressure of bu-
siness before tho CWita, the. trial was deferred to the
231 of this month.

the means of pacifying Spanish America, will etc-
cupy the extraordinary Cortes for several days.
We hare still further disturbances here. Nume-
rous patrols travel the streets night and day ; the
4-bards are doubled, strong picquets occupy the prin-
cipal cscones of the squares; in short, the city has
as..ume4 an imposing aspect, to which we are in-
dehnld for the small degree of apparent tranquillity
ichwli we enjoy.
General Campo Verde is appointed to replace M.
Barcena, the present popular emaniandatit of Seville.
This appeintment will give rise to some commotion,
tor M. Campo Verde did not spew any friendship to
our demagogues in the late events of Grenada.
Government has countermanded the disbanding
of ths seven regiments of militia, which were to
march en Seville previous to its submission. As
that city is again in open rebellion, it appears the
