PARIS Paper of Wednesday and Thursilay are ar-
rived; and they contain two telegraphic dispatches ; one
announcing the execution of Didier on the 11th inst.;
the other the departure of the Duche.ss of Berri from
Lyons. It is added, that the execution of Dither pro-
duced no disturbance.

By Thursday's Papers it appears, that Prince Talley-
rand was one of the persons who aecinnpanied the King
in his carriage, on his journey from Paris to Fontainblean,
on the preceding day.
" YAtuc, JUNE 12.—After an investigation of twenty-four
days the Chamber of Accusation has conic to a decision re-
specting the anthors and accomplices in the equally foolish and
detestable conspiracy of sonic wretches who dared to assume
the title of Patriots of IRIO; and the plan of which war nnthinti
less than to attempt the life of the Xing and the Royal Family,
and to destroy the Government, in hope of some days or some
moments orpiliage.
Twenty-eight persons arc indicted before the Assize Cnnrt
of Paris ; amongst them is (tonneau, a Member of Buonaparte's
Chamber of RepresentatiVCA.
AFFAIR OF TO F. N 4IN TR icot.lT E.—The Snry, after deli-
berating I hours, found tionquot,lialieuf, lion pre, and Duffey,
guilty ofthe charges against them; Zenowitt was acquitted of de-
livering the libels to the press, and of dial ilmt lug them; but was
found guilty of assisting Daiwa. They were sentenced to be
transported: it was besides declared, that Zenowitz, has ing
forfeited his honour, belonged em longer to the Legion.
" All the prisoners, except lionquot, affected an indecent

Gen. Bunnairc an; his Aide-de-Camp have appealed
from their sentences.

A new mark of royal favour has been conferred upon
Gen. Donadieu fi.nr his conduct at Grenoble, by appoint-
ing him Commander of the Order of St. Louis.
The Duchess de Berri is, it seems, to i,To to the
Opera, at Paris, on the evening of her nuptials. The
stare, of course, will be prodigious. All the boxes have
been taken.

A letter from Paris to Copenhagen says, that, by a
Convention concluded between the Duke of Wellington
and the French Government, the allied troops are, in fu-
ture, to assist the French dminniers against smugglers,
and that they are to receive a percentage on the value of
goods seized by theira.ssistance.

The llyndman, Hollins, a new vessel belonging to
Harrington, loan Dublin and Cork to Barbadoes, was
driven on shore the 14th of April, on Bow Reel, near
Carlisle Hay.—The cargo, it is feared, will he lost.—The
revle were fortunately salved ; but imniediately on get-
ting on shore at Bridgetown, (in the heat of the Insur-
rection) they were compelled to Min in the execution
of several of the rebellious slaves

The Martinique Gazelle contains a Decree of Count
Vaug•iraud, the Governor ; by which the trade of tinvi;;n-
ers with that Island is made subject to the restrictions
imposed by the Decree of Attzust 30, 1784, and the in-
structions given by the French Government on taking
possession of the Colony in 1814. British vessels are
excepted, and continue to.enjoy the privileges of the De-
crees of the sth and 14th June, 1814, until otherwise
urder.4l.

Further ndvices have been received from Barbadoes
to the tltl of May. A proclamation by the Hon. J. Spooner,
President anti Commander in Chief, dated the 16th of
April, announces the insurrection, and directs the appre-
hension, trial, and execution of rebellious slaves. Many
were, in consequence, executed on the Plantations to
which they belmted. On the 18th of April, Mr: Spooner
issued another Proclamation, directing the Militia to put
themselves under the King's Commander, Col. Grid;
announcing that tranquillity had been restored on many
estates, and uttering u five pardon to all, except such as
shall be taken resisting in arms, or shall have been prin-
cipal instigators or advisers of the insurrection. Five
dlys were allowed for the submission of the Negroes, and
in that time the insurrection wits wholly at an end.
A latter from a Gentleman in Barbadoes sates, that
in the pursuit of the Negroes, a flag wits tinuid, divided
into three compartments ; in the first of which was paint-
ed a white man hanging by the neck ; in the second, a
black Chief with a white woman kneeling at his feet,

with etas-TA hands,-imploring mercy ;in the third, a
Black Chief crowned, with a white woman at his side.
It states, that the insurrection was a regularly concerted
plan; but that it burst forth a week bill:re it was intended
by some of the Chiefs, who, having become infuriated by
drink, commenced the work of desolation.

Private letters of recent dste from the United States
and from I lalititx mention, that the insurrection at Bar-
haloes had created a great sensation in America, as well
as in the West India Islands. Serious apprehensions
were entertained thr the safety of the Southern States.
The letters continue to attribute the disturbances to the
delusions of Sectaries, and a general opinion entertained,
that the British Legislature would interfere with the in-
ternal Government of the Colonies.

We have received intelligence from our West India
Islands by the Iktme, arrived at Liverpool from Barba.
dazes and the Friendship, from St. Kites and Nevis, ar-
rived off' Plymouth. All the Islands were tranquil.--
The principal rebel Chief ha been executed ut Barbadoes;
his name was Franklin ; and, had the Blacks succeeded,
he w•as to be appointed Sovereign of the Island. The
private letters state, that every thing was prepared by
these deludedopeople for his coronation.

The Amerijan.Government appears to be taling pre•
cautions against the renewal of hostilities with Spain.
Gen. Grimes has departed ti►r Escambia, a short river
which empties near Pensacola, with a view of erecting a
tint. The Charleston Paper of the 10th, in noticing the
circumstance, says, " If our Government have any ap-
prehension of war with Spain, a cordon of posts shoul,l
be established along the whole coast of Florida." Vari-
ous details are given of the sufferings of American citi-
zens at Carthagena and the different ports ; and the
irritation produced in America appears very serious. The
Papers arc filled with what arc termed Spanish atrocities.
These accounts generally conclude with—" our Govern-
ment have now sent an expedition, an►l a Minister to
demand satisfitetion ; and they trust he will n►gßciute at
the cannon's mouth with those daring tramplers on the
rights of nations."

-By the Charlestown Papers of the 11th of May, we
regret to learn, that the condition of the 13ritiA prison-
ers at Carthagena, in New Soain, proceeds from bad to
worse. About the 30th of March, 11 British and Ame-
rican subjects (chiefly Masters of veesels) broke out of
prison, nine got on board of the bouts of the British brig
Forrester, which waited to receive them ; but the other
two were killed. The Americans speak highly of the
humane conduct of Capt. Henn•, of the Forrester.
Ferdinand of Spain, who (as one of the House of
BourLon) will not readily be censured in a French Jour-
nal, is said to give every day fresh proofs of his justice
and indulgence ; but the only circumstance mentioned is,
that his Cathulic Majesty had reserved to himself the
right,in all ca.:,z,s, aftc: legal adjudications, of determining
on the thrfeiture of the property of all the Spaniards who
may have left their country to seek a place of refuge in
some more hospitable land.

ALCIERINE DEPREDATIONS.--Tha following import.
ant intelligence has been received at Lloyd's :
Alatirid, May 29.
" profit of a ('eerier dispatched by our Minister,
C. R. vanahatt, Eq. to inform you, that three Spanish vessels
have arrived at Carthagena from Oran ; and tht• following
is an Extract of the Repo!! made by the Cy.Ysis, as contained
in a Letter I have receis ell from the tiortner place :--' On the
16th of May, an English brig, loading at Oran, was seized by
the Moors, wed the Captain and crew, with the English Vice
Consul, sent prisoners to .Algiers.
'On the 17th or lsth, two Gibraltar vessels arrived at or
near Oran, and shared the same fate. The Spaniards, intern►.
ell the same thing was likely. to happen to them, immediately
left the place, to the nimitier of I I sesseis, leavhig all their
property behind them. The th,r, sessels arrived at Cartha-
gena are part of the II that escaped, as above stated : and
the Captains also report it was given ion at Oran, that these
measures had been adopted in consegnenec of orders received
from Algiers.'

" From the above intelligence, it is the general opinion in
this city that the Algerints are et-allying aigiiiist our vessels ;
all which pat-zinnias I have immediately eniumunicatsd to ;A
my Vice Consuls on the coast, and desired them not to dispatch
any Ira per. until further information is received, unless
the Captains insist thereon, at their ou u tisk, in which case to

TUNE 17.,

EXCHEQUERS.

POLITIC.II. DISQUISITION.
CONSOLIMTION Or• THE ENGLISH AN!) IRISH

THE consolidation of the two Exchequers of Great
Britain and Ireland—a measure rendered necessary by
the state of the latter, had hitherto pas.sed through its
early stages in the House of Commons, with the full ap-
probation of all parties. This unanimity was, for the first
time, broken on Fri•lay last, in the Committee held on
the Bill. It was then discovered by the opposition, that
a Vice-Treasurer must be appointed fir Ireland; and,
what was still more grievous to them, that his salary
would consist of 3;001. a year ; and that, as he would
have a seat in Parliament, a Deputy, with 10001. per
annum, would perform his duties during his absence.
Then arose, in all its former violence, the outcry against
corruption ! By such a measure, ancient Acts would be
violated; economy set at nought ; and the influence of
the Crown extended. The Vice-Treasurer, it was wittily
remarked, would have nothing to do ; and his Deputy
would receive 10001. a year to assist him. " This was
a most infamous and shameless job," exclaimed Mr. Pon-
sonby, rising for the moment above his usual common
place, " and Ministers would not have dared to bring it
forward in a full House." As to the daring of Ministers,
we shall not contend the point. They certainly displayed
much timidity in pressing the revival of the Property-
Tax, at the risk of their situations, until they were left
in a minority. It was through excess of timidity also,
that, having once introduced the new Alien Bill, they
carried it through, against the most constant, and the
most loquacious opposition,—rejecting, in their way,
every clause however reasonable, which might have weak-
ened the Powers with which they wished to invest them-
selves. As we have censured them when we thought
theta obnoxious to blame, so shall we take their defence,
when their conduct is founded in right ; and this instance
is one, in which the Opposition never more completely
misapplied their activity and their talents. Could it be
imagined, that, when the whole financial concerns of a
nation, very little inferior in numbers and in importance
to our own, should be united to those of Great Britain,
the English official Establishment wonld be sufficient to
bear the doubled weight of business and responsibility
which would thus devolve upon them ? Must not some
Officer be appointed to manage that part of the national
expenditure which must now flow from the consolidated
Exchequer—to nourish and support the neighbouring
island? Must not that Officer, entrusted with the issue
of millions, be a person of high trust and responsibility ?
Could such a person be induced to sacrifice both
his tittle and his right to dispose of his own property,
us long as he holds that office, for an unworthy
consideration ? And can, when all those views of the
subject are taken, a salary of 55001. a year be deemed
more than barely reasonable? Buta Deputy is to be created
t ith a revenue of 10001. per annum ; and, the necessity
of this appointment is attributed to the impolicy of
giving a seat in Parliament to the Vice-Treasurer,
who is thus forced to absent himself from the scat
of his active duties in order to attend the house.
The answer given to this objection was obvious, and
appears well founded. The consolidation of the two Ex-
chequers being attended with the abolition of most of
those offices, which gave the members of the Irish Go-
vernment seats in Parliament, in order that they should
be able to state to the national legislature the wants of
Ireland, and the application and erect of the measures
adopted to supply them, it is absolutely necessary that
some other expounder of Irish necessities and aflitirs
should take their place. And who could be a more fit-
ting person, than the individual through whose hands
thb whole expenditure of that country must pass. This
appears to us so strong a ground, that we shall not even
quote the other forcible reasons which were employed to
prove the necessity of the Vice Treasurer being a Par-
liamentary officer, and justify the appointment of a De-
puty. The next objections were to the creation of
new of and the increase of the patronage of the
Crown. To both of these, the most triumphant replies
tan be given. First, The office is an old one revived; and
secondly, the patronage obtained by the ('rown by the
introduction of one member into Parliament, is more
than compensated by the abolition of the. follotria,, eight
Pat-hellion:try offices to which the consolidation of the
two Exchequers puts an end ; live Lords of the Irish
Treasure, the Irish Chancellor of the Exchequer, his
Secretary, and the Secretary of the Treasury. Such
a diminution of patronage, ought in fact to have excited
the gratitude of those who profess to consider the in-
fluence of the Crown as dangerously great, instead of
leading them to attempt to conceal the truth unacr a
load of abuse and misrepresentation.
