PARIS PAPERS.

PARIS, APRIL 11.

P. Melina, Commandant and ))) !! istrotor
of the I.le de Bourbon, in a proclamation mteltepard
to the inhabitants on the I ith of December, 1619,
apprises them that a dreadful invlittly has broken
out in Ike Nlatirititis.'whlch has been attended With
the mmt.fattil consequences le.mony of the people,
'visaing Whites and Blacks equally, and destroy-
ing its victims in a few hours Wives.. All commu-
nication. is interrupted between the two .iplands,
said the Commendesit strongly recommend* to the
people nut to infringe the regulationsurade upon
this point.
The Gazette de Frailty contains the following
extract (rum is private hater, dated Hume, March

Our city begins to be thronged with foreigners; during
the last few days a great timothy' of English halm arrived-..
amongst them is the celebrated Sir H. Davy. Opinions wary

Notwithstanding the declarations mole in the
English journals by the. Veuezieelan agents, it is
probable that the Spanish provinces of, South
America will unile.thetustives, at least provisiou.
ally, to the constitutional mooarchy of Spain;
fur when, in 1810, the Aingrican Jpottio urgocisted
with the conies of Cadiz, they derusinled only
three conditions : tat, Equality of political rights
and of representation -between the colonies and
the mother country (this wilful is secured in the
Constitution) ; 4d, The free exportation of the
produce of the soil and of industry, ra.well to
Spain as to Foreign countries, as also the imports.
lion of foreign userchandives upon the same terms
as in the mother •country (tlns •• point WAS out
granted by the Corte.); 9d, The abolition of every
snouopoly, granting. an indemnity to the Treasury
by .direct loxes (this point was postponed to ibis
titpe•9( the general• financial arrangement).

We. can --pinceive no mow nicrtive• .to prevent
Buenos, Lyres... Chili. and ,Yenesoels..‘ from te-

nod lbw interior of Veseseela by Bolisaes amyl.
in these two provinces slime does the idea of cow.
pkte iodependence seem to have any consistency.
Mexico, Peru, tha Havammli, the islands of Porto
Rim sod of St. Domingo, enjoy a forfset Lain.

It is then possible that the Royal Decrees of the
nth of March, &c. will be there carried peace-
ably into effect; it is not impossible that in some
points there may be some disastrous scenes, se at
Cadis, hut in general the idea of an union with
this immense monarchy flatters the national pride
of the people, and will triumph over the ambition
of the Independent Chiefs, among whom Bolivar
and Amps alone poesesa any talents.

MAPLES, MARCH 23.

Five hundred galley slaves have been embarked
for Lisbon in two frigates, to be transported to the
Brazils. TlVey were all, w►thout exception, very
well contented with their new destination. Two
of them, who were sick, concealed themselves on
board, that they might not be sent on shore. Se-
veral of the slaver take out wives. and same were
married expressly for the voyage. The King deity
receives petitions from the galley slaves, prayiug
that they might be transported.

by the country in general, are yet so generally; chi-
