FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Messager des Chambres, Oct. ls.)
Pa ass, OCT. 14.-A Morning Paper contains the fol-
lowing paragraph :-
" Some persons, who have lately arrived from Ponape-
luna, affirm that they there saw proclamations posted up,
which they read, and in which the soldiers were informed,
that they will very soon enter France to restore the Go-
vernment of legitimacy with Charles X.
" They are at the same time enjoined to observe
the
the
strictest discipline, and not to ill-treat any person in
French territory."
These statements, borrowed from the Sentinelle de
Bayonne, are wholly fictitious.
Another journal (the National) als speaks of the
hostile preparations of the Spanish Govoernment, and an-
nounces that " On the '7th of this month, the police seized,
at Bayonne, a secret despatch addressed to the Spanish
Consul, and that this seizure caused a violent altercation
between the Spanish Consul and the Sub-Prefect."
We are able to assert that the Government has received
no newts of this kind. According to all appearance, the
National has been led into error by its correspondent. In
general we must distrust these correspondents who amuse
themselves in raising battalions and setting armies in
motion in a country which wants both men and money.
All these great movements of troops on the frontiers of
Spain amount to no more than some changes of garrisons.
The Messager, having dwelt on the importance of the
debate upon the amendment of M. Merilhon, on which it
says the fate of the new Peerage depends, and having
highly commended the speech of M. Dupin, senior, adds
the following :-
" P.S. The ideas of Government so well laid down
by the President of the Council, Messrs. Guizot, Barthe,
Dusnon, Thiers, and especially by M. Dupin, senior, in
the two sittings of yesterday and to-day, have obtained a
complete triumph. Honour to the majority of the Cham-
ber ! M. Merilhou's amendment has been rejected by a
majority of 58.
" In rejecting the amendment the Chamber has conse-
quently rejected the system of candidateship.
" Numerous marks of satisfaction were manifested by
the great majority of the assembly when the result was
declared."

(From the Morning Herald.)
We have just received the Paris Papers of Saturday,
and the Messager and Gazette dated yesterday.
The appearance of the internal situation of France con-
tinued to be rather gloomy. Several cases of assassination
by the Chouans had occurred in the West, which, together
with other proceedings of the Carlist party, would render
strong measures necessary. The accounts of the revenue
for the quarter just expired, present a surplus of about
72,0001. over those for the corresponding one of last year,
but were not considered by the public as establishing that a
positive improvement had taken on
oce. The discussion of
the Peerage question continued ccupy the Chamber of
Deputies. The amendment proposed by M. Merilhou for
rendering it imperative on the King to select Peers from
lists presented by the Electoral Colleges, was rejected by a
majority of 58. Other subsequent amendments proposed
by the opposition were equally rejected—in short, our
original prediction will be accomplished—the projet pretty
nearly as submitted by Ministers will be adopted.
Lord Granville arrived in Paris on Friday night.
The trifling fall that has taken place in the funds today
is attributed to the adoption of M. Moshourg's amendment
in the Peerage law on Friday.
