Paris Papers to the 29th ult. have reacked

town ; they contain the plea Sing intelligence that
BEAVHARNOIS has submitted ; he is, it is stated,
to have the Duchy of Denx-pouts and a part Of
the Palatinate. The Archduke
,fRANCIS is, ac-
cording to report, to .be the King'of ITALY ; but
the limits of that kingdom will probably be
much as Austria will, of course, re-
gain her old possessions. Very splendid prepara-

firms were making► in Paris for the reception of the
King. He was to enter his capital yesterday.
Some slight disturbances have taken place at
Bourdeaux, where the inhabitants, who are
all staunch loyalists, have bUrnt the new
Constitution. It would be vain to hope
that a Country, convulsed as France has been,
should at once subside into perfect tranquillity.
The King of France will, indeed, have an ardu-
ous task to perform, and it will 'require :the ut- •
most skill to reconcile the jarring materials which
at present exist in Fiance. That many of Buot.TA-
PARTE'S Generals and Officers, who haVe been ac-
customed under him to slaughter and plunder, will
feel unhappy at being compelled to submit to the

LAND), in Gil Blas, to return to their alit occp-
_
pation, there can be no doubt. On the othki• hand, a
vt...ry large portion of the people of France must be
concerned add alarmed, when they see that a nuihber
Of these very liersons, who have been the instru-
ments and abettors of IivoNApARTE's tyranny, are
still intrusted with a share of the Government of
the country. In the South of France we know this
feeling is very strong, and we believe it pervades,
'o a, considerable degree, other parts of Prance.—
We trust, however; that the mild and paternal
Government of Louis XVIII. and the example
which he has set of burying the past in oblivion,
will have its due weight with his subjects, and in-
duce them to co-operate in his beneficent views.

It is highly gratifying to inform our Readers,
that, in addition to the glorious tidings which
proriii►se us a long continuance of pacific relations
with the other Powers of Europe, a c►rcumstance
has occurred which augurs equally in favour of
Our domestic tranquillity. We have the pleasure
to state, that an important communication has
been received by the Roman Catholic Bishop of
London, trom the persons at Rome to whom his
Holiness the POPE had entrusted the arrangement
of ecclesiastical matters during the time when he
was under the cruel tyranny of the French
Usurper.

The document is written in the Latin language,
and the following is a summary of its acknow-
ledgments :—The Veto, so long in question, and
so vehemently resisted', is not only explicitly ad-
mitted, but absolutely enjoined ; when a Catho-
lic Bishop has been chosen, the name of the party
is, in the first instance, to be submitted to his
Majesty ; if hiS Majesty rejects the person, his
determination is to be decisive;
,if approved, TIIE
POPE engages to sanction and confirm in its fullest
extent the will of the British-Monarch :—Ali secret
correspondence between the Catholic subjects or his
Britannic Majesty and the See of Rome is solemnly
prohibited, and all Letters from the Holy See to this
Country are to be open to the inspection of the King
himself, or any Council that he may think proper
to constitute for the purpose. The Document -
proceeds to exhort, in strong terms, and in the
name of his Holiness, a full obedience to the
legal Authorities of the British Dominions ,
forcibly inculcating a dutiful and grateful
submission to the Government by which they
have so long been protected, and uncle:- which
they enjoyed so many advantages, and
liberal indulgence. It is gratifying to add, that
this conciliatory and truly important measure
was the first act of authority which-was exercised
by the venerable PONTIFF after he was released
front his oppressive and lamentable captivity.'
What e4ct this important document may have
upon the future fate of the Catholic Question, it
is not necessary now to discuss. One good conse-
quence must inevitallly result from it : all. those
coarse and intemperate invectives ---all those
charges of intolerance and bigotry, which
.
have been heaped upon those who demanded
some security front the Roman Catholics, must
cease. Those persons-can no longer be charged
with bigotry or intolerance who have only de-
manded that which the Head of their Church is
of opinion that the Roman atholies may with
propriety concede.

By some unfortunate 'accident, the Letter
No. IV. of our invaluable Correspondent in
France, has not reached our hands. We this
day insert No. V.

General Sir JOHN HOPE, aCCOrdin7 to an article
dated Plymouth, the 29th Idt. and which appear-
ed in a Provincial Journal, is dead, in consc7
quence of the wounds which .he received in the
sortie from Bayonne. We have, however, the
satisfaction of stating, that no tidings of so me-
rancholy an event had reached Government when
this Paper was put to press, and we trust that
it.is an unfounded rumour.
