We have received the Paris papers of 'Wednesday,

The discussion on the Bill for reviving the Royal
Chapter of St. Denis still continues in the Chamber
of Peers. The great speech of Tuesday was that of
Count D'ALTON SURE, in opposition to the measure,
in which he denounced the slavish maxims of the
Court clergy, and the conduct of those who are
Catholics (he might have said Christians), merely
as they are French or Germans, who, having
passed a life in religious indifference, mutter
mechanically some Christian prayers on their
death-bed. He was repeatedly called to order
for this outbreak, which the President of the Cham-
ber declared was calculated to wound many men of
courage and conscience in their most cherished sen-
timents.

The Chamber of Deputies is engaged in the ex-
amination of the public accounts, which are by no
means satisfactory; and the Ministry have endured
several mortifying checks in the course of the ex-
amination.

The Riforme gives the following account of the
gambling affair at Chantilly : .

"On Saturday evening, after the royal hunt, a number of
games at cards, lansquenet and others, were played, and the
courtiers took part in them with the liveliest interest. Oae
of them, especially, a captain oa the staff, officer d'ordonnance
of the Chateau, possessing a somewhat considerable private
fortune, caused himself to be remarked among the players by
reason of his excessive good luck. Heaps of gold and bank-
notes increased before him with such rapidity that in a little
time his winnings rose to from 25,000 f. to 30,000 E This
good fortune excited some suspicions, and some players,
more clear-sighted than the others, believed that they re-
marked some extraordinary tricks. In spite of the title of
the lucky player, the suspicious soon. became changed into
certainty, and it was seen in effect that the official personage
had concealed cards, and that he was perfectly practised.
The lively indignation of the persons present will be con-
ceived. Monday it was known at the Chamber that M.
son of the General of the same name, captain on the staff,
officer d'ordonnance of Louis Philippe, had not been arrested
and thrown into prison, as every body thought, but after
having been dismissed had been allowed to take flight,
and had actually taken his departure for America. M.
Cr—, receiving 3,000 f. as Captain of the staff at Paris, 6,000 f.
as officer of ordounance, was of course a member of the Le-
gion of Honour ; he bad, besides, some 10,000 f. of private
income 1"

DUCHATEL arrived in Paris from Havre on
Tuesday afternoon.
The Constitutionnel says—

" It was reported on the Bourse that the administrators of
the Lyons and Avignon Railroad were requested to call on
Wednesday on the Minister of Finance, for the purpose, ac-
cording to some, of giving explanations respecting the dis-
sension which had arisen between the different companies
that had united to construct the road, or, according to others,
to be informed by the Minister of the decision adopted by the
Council on Tuesday in its.regard. It appears that Ministers
have determined to propose to the Chamber to exonerate the
company from the construction of the branch to Grenoble,
and to extend the concession by fifteen years. As respects
the guarantee of an interest of 4 per cent., the majority of
the Cabinet had been of opinion to refuse it."

Bou IVIAzA, concerning whose treason to his nation
there can now be no doubt, was presented to the
Royal Family on Tuesday. It is said that he intends
turning renegade as well as traitor, and abandoning
his creed as well as country.
Queen CHRISTINA arrived at Toulon on the 16th,
where the Infante Don ENRIQUE and his wife had
also arrived en route from Rome.
The fleet of the Prince DE JOINVILLE was vic-
tualling at the dockyard, and would put to sea in a
week.
