" PARIS, MAY 6.

" The reception. of Sidi Alahmoud, Envoy of the Bey of
Tunis,took place, to-dayat the Hotel of the Minister for Foreign
Affairs. M. the Baron had taken his place in the Hall of the
Ambassadors, having with him about 30 persons whom he had
invited,-Peers.of France, Deputies, Generals, and Superior
Officers, both of the army and navy, all in state uniforms.—
When the Enfoy, was announced, every body rose, the Mini-
ster alone remained sitting and covered.. His Excellency saluted
the Envoy with his hand, and invited him to take a seat. Sidi
Alahmoud then delivered to the Minister a letter from the Bey,
addressing to him a speech in Arabic, which was explained by
an interpreter. Soon after diplomatic etiquette was succeeded
by.a less ceremonious tone, and the Envoy being asked how he
liked France, he replied, On my landing at. Toulon, I was sur.
prised ; at Lyons, I was astonished ; but on my. seeing Paris,l
forgot every- thing that I had seen before.' After half an
hour's conversation; Baron Damns conducted the Envoy into
the grand saloon, where about 20 ladies were assembled, who
immediately rose. Sidi Alahmoud saluted with dignity. .At
-dinner he seemed to relish all the dishes, .and took care to say
that his physicians had ordered him to-drink wine for his health.
—lle.prefetred Champagne. • The setting out of the repast,
the brilliant uniforms of the company, seemed greatly to excite
his attention'. Sidi Malimoud is 30 years of age, !leis very fat,
his head is very fine, and his complexion • that ;of a very dark
Frenchman.. He speaks pretty good Italian. His costume is
simple but elegant ; he wears a white dolman, embroidered
with sky blue, and - fastened with gold clasps. fits turban is
:composed of two red Cachmere shawls : a very, fine white shawl
is thrown negligently
l‘
genitlaYhmOu across his shoulders. At ten o'clock in
he d retired, saluting the ladies, and ad-
dressing a compliment to the-Baron. .His Excellency's private
secretary and
ten men accompanied the Envoy to the door of
the first apartment.
" The Duke of Northumberland, Ambassador Extraordinary
appointed-by the-King of England- to attend the coronation of
the King of France, landed at Calais on the 3d, and put up at
Dessin's Hotel. He is accompanied by the Duchess,; his con-
sort.. His suite is composed of 'Mr. Singleton, secretary ; Lord
,prudhoe, the Marquis Caermarthen, Lord Ilopetoun, Lord.
Pelham, 'Captain' Miller, Sir W. W. Wynn, Lord Hervey,
Lord hv
e theatre,Lady W. Wynn, and Lady H.• Clive. His

" The Jmernal des Debate announces to-day that a report is
spread that the Minister of Finance had just -lent a- considera-
ble sum (30,000,000. it is said) to the house of Rothschild, in
royal bons, on a deposit of renter. • , .
4- We begin by deeming, that we are authorized formally
to contradict such a report. We then take the opportunity to
point out to our readers 'what odious means are employed by the
Opposition, which boasts of acting for the public interest. •
" A lie, a ea/amity, which the least attention, the smallest
recollection, would suffice to reject, seems worthy of being
taken np by.a journal which knows very well that the Minister
of Finance declared in the Chamber of Peers, a few days ago,
that the Treasury had lent nothing to any body, and that no-
sum had been issued from it, for the advantage of any private
speculation; that considerable sums were accumulated in it, so
that it was necessary to cease the emission of Royal bons, and
that no more would be given to any person whatever : and the
Journal des Debate, to injure the public credit, takes up such-a
report, hastening to insert its reasons in case the fact should
be true !' This explains, says the journalist, what difficulty
