THE NATIONAL REGISTER

On Friday we received the Paris Papers of Sunday
and Monday last. On the former day the King
held his usual Court, At Poictieri and Nantes
attempts have been made to excite popular riots, by
individuals parading and exclaiming, the " Charter
for ever," but their efforts, it is said, proved fruit-
less. The Brest Courier of the 14th contains a
decree and proclamation from the Mayor of that
town, confirming the account, which has already
appeared, of disturbances which took place there on
the arrival of the news of the Election Law having
passed. The attempts of the rioters were, however,
frustrated by the active interference of the military
and civil powers. The discussion in the French
Chamber of Deputies, relative to the expenditure
of the present year, still continues.
Although the Capital is said to be tranquil, the
Police and the Government are not free from alarm.
The ramifications of the late insurrectionary move-
' ments are developing themselves daily, and on
Thursday several Students of Law and Medicine,
implicated in the late riots, were arrested at their
residences. The Police Authorities Lave issued an
Ordunnance relative to strangers in the metropolis,
obliging those who let lodgings, from day to day, to
register the names of the persons who sojourn with
them, and to send a duplicate return to the Com-
missioners of Police, Foreigners are to present
themselves to the Ambassadors or Ministers of their
respective nations, to be recognized by them, and
these belonging to States which have no accredited
or diplomatic agents at the French Court, must
procure a testimonial from two principal bankers or
citizens. These are excellent regulations to detect
or guard against swindlers, and they are also a proof
that other persons besides the inhabitants of Paris
are suspected of being engaged in the late tumults.
The rage for visiting France is abating, and the
recent constraints imposed upon foreigners in Paris
should operate as a hint to our countrymen who
are there, to depart. The Electoral projet which
has passed the Chamber of Deputies has been sent
by the Peers to the Bureaux for examination.—lt
will afterwards be discussed by the Chamber in a
general Assembly, or a Committee will be appointed
for its consideration. The last day on which there
was any riotous assemblage near the Gate of St.
Martin, about a score of the seditious had taken
refuge in the hackney coaches standing in a neigh-
bouring street ; an Officer of Gendarmerie perceiving
it, ordered all the coachmen to drive off the Gen.
denten inside, and conveyed them to Ave- aria
Barracks. The Madrid Gazette of the 6th instant
says, that " the King wishing► to conform to the
desire expressed by his Most Christian Majesty, has
ordered all Frenchmen to be set at liberty who may
be detained either in Spain or America, for being
without passports ; for espionage, or for having
assisted the Spanish insurgents, or served in their
ranks."

day were 75f. Sac.; Bank Stock, 1,5,-)0f.

CITY ADDRESS TO TILE QDE E N.—A reijuisities
to the Lord Mayor, to convene a Common Hall f
this purpose, was presented early last weep; bat his
Lordship, wha, in his own phrase, " did not like it,"
begged for time to consider, as the Parliamentary
proceedings were in a state of suspense. Yesterd..y

no doubt that it will be the most numerously at-
tended Hall that the City has witnessed for some
time.
