PARIS PAPERS.

PARIS, JULY I.s.—The King heard mass yester-
day in his apartments, after which he transacted
business with the President of the Council of Mi-
nisters, and his Excellency the Minister for Foreign
Affairs.

Almost all the towns and cities of France have
begun to offer up prayers to Heaven for the safe
deliverance of the Duchess of Berry of a Prince, to
perpetuate the stock of the Lilies.
Several journals have announced that M. Bartho-
lomeo Bergami set out from Paris, where he had
been seen in some public places, on his way to Lon-
don. The passports of Bergami was filled up for
Rome, at the office of the Prefect of Police, the day
before yesterday, as also the passports of all the
Italians in the suite of the Queen of England.
About three years ago the Prince de Castcicicala,
Ambassador from Naples to the Court of France, on
his return from London to Paris, wss robbed be-
tween Beaumont and St, Denis. The robbers car-
ried off from behind his carriage a trunk containing
a great quantity of silver plate, jewellery, and other
valuable property. They escaped detection until
witl in these few days, when they were arrested by
the Police of Paris, They are three in number,
vis. M. Cossard, and two brothers named Langlois,
resident at St. Brice, near St. Denis. The greater
part of the property has been founl with them, they
having been afraid to dispose of it.

M. Frediani, an Italian traveller, wiites from
Egypt that lie has succeeded, alter 16 days of ex-
cessive fatigue across the deserts of Lybia and Mar-
merique, in reaching• the famous temple of Jupiter
Ammon, called the Great Temple, which no parson
appears to have visited since the time of Alexander
tho Great.• M. Frediani had with him an escort of
2,000 men, and had to Sight his way to this ca le-
bated monument.

GUARDIAN SOCIETY.

Wednesday a Meeting of this excellent Society for the
reservation of the public morals, took place at the
gyptian Hall in the Mansion House, for the purpose
of receivino the Report of the Committee, and contri-
buting to the funds of the Institution. A great number
of ladies were present.
Tne Lord Mayor took thy Chair at half-past one.
His Lordship having briefly informed the Meeting of
the occasion upon which they were assembled, and
urged the necessity of making liberal contributions, the
secretary read the Report. It stated, that two years hail
elapsLarl since the last General Meeting of the Society,
and that during the time the Committee had not been
unfaithful of the trust reposed in them. Since the last
Report, 141 females had been admitted into the Guar-
dian Asylum on their own application, 42 been then in
the House, making together 183, of whom 35 had
been provided fur in service, seven sent to their respec-
tive parishes, two died, tit dismissed, 4ti are now in
the House, making the total number received into the
Asylum since its formation 572, of whom 153 had been
placed in service; 183 restored to their friends, 32 sent
to their parishes, 198 discharged or witlxlrawn, seven
have died, and 46 are now in the House. Many of
those who have gone from the Institution have become
valuable members of society.
Mr. DANIEL Wttses said, that at the first appear-
ance there was something of a repulsive nature in the
undertaking, but toe greater wa's the merit in aiding a
course which was divested of the ordivary attractions.—
By contributing to this charity the Meeting connected
themselves more strongly with their own families and
with society in general. Those who were aquiline-4
with the history of kingdoms were aware of the politi-
cal miseries which grew out of the state of society, to
which their attention was called. The disunion of
States was to be traced to the progress of this vice, which
spread its baleful poison through the whole mass of a
people, and rendered them an easy prey to an invading
enemy. (Applause.) To check the growth of such an
enemy to the human race, was the proper business of
those who thus associated. To remove from the public
eye these examples of horror and shame, became the
members of the Guardian Society. Who ceidd with-
hold his compassion from the hundreds of pour children
who front the age of 14 to that of 16 were to be seen
engaged, in prostitution, corrupted by flattery and the
most malignant arts.
Mr. Sheriff Rontwett, moved the Thanks of the
Meeting to the Lord Mayor. Ile had, he said, fre-
quently witnessed the aims of the worthy Chief Ma-
gistrate upon occisions of charity, and could bear testi.
' mony to the excellence of his views towards the unfor-
tunate.
The LORD MAYOR called upon the Meeting in the
, most impressive manner to second the labours of the
Committee by their liberality. Ile concluded by retnrii-
lug his most hearty thanks. The meeting then departed.

The Report of the Committee appointed in the
House of Lords to search for Precedents on the best
mode of compelling the Peers to attend the second
reading of the Pains and Penalties Bill, will proba-
bly be made on Monday, and proceedings adopted
thereon. A general opinion is entertained by his
Majesty's Ministers that the attendance of Lords
during the important proceeding against her Ma-
jesty will not be numerous, unless seine compulsory
measure is resorted to. The advanced period of the
year at which this unfortunate business is to come
on, is inconvenient to the Members of both Houses,
who naturally look for relaxation, and retirement to
their estates, after a very arduous and bustling
Session of Parliament. They would no doubt feel
much satisfaction, could they avoid the painful duty,
imposed on them, a duty rendered unpleasant by the
knowledge, that the public weal is not involved in
the enquiry.
The point in difference between the Queen and
Ministers, as to the right of omitting her Majesty's
name in the Liturgy, appears to allow of judicial
decision, by any friend of her Majesty proceeding
against any clergyman for such omission, in breach
of the Ist of Eliz. cap. 2, sec. 2.—" That all and
singular Ministers in any cathedral or parish church,
or other places, shall, from and after, &c. be bounden
to say and use the Mattins, Evening-song, celebra-
tion of the Lord's Supper, administration of each of
the Sacraments,and all the common and open prayers,
in such order and form as is mentioned in the said
book, so authorized by Parliament in the said sth
and 6th years of the reign of King Edward the
Sixth." Any clergyman transgressing this statute is
liable to the forfeiture of one year's profit of his spirit-
ual benefices, and six month's imprisonment, without
bail. The defendant would of course rely on the
proclamation, the legal validity of which would
depend on the construction of' the 14th Car. 11. cap.
4, sec. 25—" Provided always, and be it further
enacted by the authority aforesaid, That in all there
Prayers, Litanies, and Collects, which do any wry
relate to the King, Queen, or Royal Progeny, the
names be altered and changed from time to my,
and fitted to the present occasion, according
to the
direction of lawful authority."
A Brazil packet has brought advices from Rio
Janeiro up to the 7th of May. Lord Beresford
arrived on the 3.1, in the Spartan frigate, having
made the voyage from Lisbon in the short period of
sp days. No intelligence from Buenos-Ayres had
been reeeit ed at Rio Janeiro.

REVOLUTION IN NAPLES.

The revolutionary movement among the troops
was observable on the day previous to the departure
of the Messengers from Naples. Two regiments
expressed their wish of being governed constitution-
ally, and multitudes of soldiers rushed to their party;
Prince Campo Chiaro was the promulgator of their
sentiments to the King, who found himself obliged
to conform to their views, and prepare a constitution
within the space of eight days. The whole business
seems to have been well arranged and matured—
the utmost secrecy must have been observed—the
insurrection spread with the rapidity of lightning,
and every peasant that could procure a firelock, or
weapon of any sort, followed the example of the
troops. The Court was dismayed at these proceedings,
but they became too general and too formidable to
be resisted. The important movement originated
with the military, the only organ by which the
Rulers could overawe or coerce the people. An ar-
bitrary Government cannot exist a moment without
the support of the military, and Naples must soon
enjoy all the political benefits of Spain. The pub-
lic mind is too much enlightened in every country
for the people to suffer the degradation which they
experienced in the dark ages of tyranny and super-
stition. The revolution in Spain cannot fail to have
a great influence on neighbouring nations, and we
look to it with hope as the forerunner of speedy and
momentous events.

The Bank Notes Forgery Prevention Bill occa-
sioned some conversation in the House of Peers on
Monday'night. The attempt to 'prevent petitioners
from being heard against the Bill mash appear very
singular, Lord Liverpool seemed to imagine that
Mr. Tilloch and the other petitioners aimed at having
• the comparative merits of different plans examined.
This, however, is not the object of Mr. Tilloch's
Petition : the preamble to the Bill states, that " the
Governor and Company of the Bank of England
have, after great consideration, labour, and expense,
formed a new plan for printing Bank Notes, in
which the ground-work of each Bank Note will be
black or coloured, or black and coloured line-work,"
with certain words " upon a black, sable, or dark
ground, such grousul containing white lines inter-
secting each other," &c. Mr. 'l'illoeh says that this
allegation is not true—that, on the contrary, the
plan was formed by him, after much consideration,
labour and expense (of which he has never been
reimbursed one farthing), and was by him • laid
before the Bank in 1797; and this fact he intends
to prove at the Bar of the House.
In the course of Thursday, a general seizure was
made throughout the Metropolis by the Excise Offi-
cers, of the article called " Hunt's breakfast pow-
ders." The affair is likely to become a matter of
legal investigation. Rosemary comes under the
same objection, as it is sold to make a beverage
called " Rosemary tea," which is prescribed in ner-
vous complaints by the physicians.
Review at Houn4otv.—Friday a Grand Review
took place on Hounslow Heath. A great concourse
of people assembled there at an early hour, and a
number of carriages; filled by persons of distinction,
were also on the ground. This great assemblage
was occasioned qy the announcement in the publio
papers that the King was to review the two Regi-
ments of Life Guards, and the Horse Guards (blue.)
A corps of Lancers were stationed at the Lodge,
near the roadside at Hounslow, in their full uni—
forms, and a considerable number of Staff Officers,
for the purpose of receiving his Majesty upon his
arrival. An express however arrived to the Hon.
Captain Cathcart, announcing that his Majesty
would be unable to attend, but that the Commander
in Chief might be momentarily expected. The
Orderly had time to deliver hiS message when his
Royal Highness the Duke of York appeared in
sight, dressed ,in his fill Field Marshal's uniform,
accompanied by his Royal Highness the Duke of
Cambr.dge, also in full uniform, and the Duke of
Wellington, mounted on a beautiful chesnut-co-
loured Arabian, and dressed in his regimentals, as
Colonel of the Blues. These illustrions personages
drove to Hounslow in their carriages& man mounted
their chargers at the entrance to. the Heath, where
dragoons had them in readiness. When they. came
on the ground at eleven o'clock, they were immedi-
ately surrounded by a large body of officers of rank,
who conducted them to the eastern part ;of the
Heath, where the two regiments of Life Guards
and the Blues were formed in line. The Review im-
mediately commenced, and the troops went through
their evolutions in fine military order until agar
two o'clock, when some heavy showers of rain com-
ing on, they were ordered off' the ground, and the
Royal Dukes drove back to town in their carriages.
The Duke of Wellington, attended by an officer,
drove home in a curricle and pair. His Majesty
was prevented from being present at the Review
injconsequence of an attack of the gout.
Review of the Coldstream Guards.—Yesterday
morning, at nine o'clock, the Qd battalion of the
Coldstream Guards was reviewed in Hyde Park, by
his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, their
Colonel. His Royal Highness took his station in
front, and the regiment passed him in review in an
excellent state of discipline. The corps formed near
the magasine ; and their band was stationed in the
centre, and played martial airs during the review.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge looked
in excellent health, and was accompanied by Gene-
rals Hill and Keate, and several other officers of' dis-
tinction. The ceremony of firing a salute was dis-
pensed with by desire of his Royal Highness
The House of' Lords is expected to adjourn on
Monday until Thursday, she 17th of August, the
day fixed for the second reading of the Bill of
Divorce and of Pains and Penalties against the
Queen.
An official return to an order of the House of
Commons states the total amount of Bank notes and
Bank post bills in circulation, in the week ending
the 4th July, 18:20, at 22,397M01.; and in the •
week ending the 11th at 26,210,30C1. This great
increase in the latter week is chiefly to be ascribed
to the payment of the dividends.
The Select Committee un the practicability of the
consumption of smoke issuing from furnaces,
steam-engines, and different works, have made their
report. It appears from a mass of evidences that it
is perfectly practicable, and that the consumption of
smoke would not only be a very great saving of fuel,
but %coda also be less prejudicial to public health
and public comfelt:

DE YOSSETt V. SIR T. MAITLAND.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff. Colonel
de Bossett, against the defendant, Sir Thos. Maitland,
brother of Lord Lauderdale, as Lord High Commissioner
of the lonian Isles, to recover a compebsation in damages
for the injury which the plaintiff alleged his character
had sustained, as an officer, by the conduct of Sir Thos.
Maitland, in Having suspended and dismissed Colonel de
Bossett, by a public Genetal Order, issued in Sept.ldl 7,
hoot the situation which he held in the lonian isles, of
Inspector of Militia, that suspension being contrary to
the 2vd Article of War, which states, that no Com-
mander in Chief on a foreign station shall cashier, dis- •
miss, or suspend any commissioned officer, unless with
the sentence of a Court Martial, such sentence having
been approved by his Majesty, or by some persons au-
thorizetl unuer the Sten Manual to give such authority;
or by direction of his Majesty, such direction being given
through the Commander in Chief of his Majesty's army,
and no such order having been given by his Majesty on
the present occasion. The order of the detention sus-
pending die plaintiff, was proved to have been entered its
all the orderly books of the troops in the lonian 'isles..
The order dismissed the plaintiff (min his situation, but
assigned no reason fur doing so-. Sir 11. Torrens was
called to prove no order was given by the Duke of York
for this suspension, and Sir H. Torrens, Sir J. Osborne,
Sir H. Clinton, and other officers, were called to prove
the injury such a dismissal would have on the character
of a military mom

SECONDARIES' OFFICE, Cousmats STREIT.
HALTAM V. KING.

In this case a Jury wis summoned to assess damages, •
for losses sustained by the plaintiff, in consequence of
the negligence of her agent, the delenciatt,'who had
suffered. judgment to 'o by default. -
Mr. S.•rjeant Bosanquet stated, that the plaintiff, a
widow, had, upon the representation of Mi. King. •the.
defendant, been induced to advance the.sum of &WI. for
the .purchase of an annuity of 1041. Tne defendant,
whom she appointed her agent on the occasion, awned
her that the bargain would be highly advantageous, and
that the annuity was secured by the utienritinksered life
interests of two gentlemen, oneof whom.Wkitmore.was
abroad, for the education of his children. kw* ascer-
tained, however, after the money had been that
those two securities were insolvent, and That their life
interest had been actually sold before the nesociation .
wis entered into. The plaintiff had now no prospect of
getting back tier purchase money, the security being
absolutely void, and was compelled to adopt proceedings
against her agent. The learned counsel said, his client
would be satisfied with her purchase money, and five
per cent. interest.
Mr. AI aclure, executor of the plaintiff's husband's
will, proved the deed, which shewed the sum advanced
and the writing of King, who was a party to it.
