FRENCTI PAPERS.

We have received all the Paris Papers of Sun-
day (except the Moniteur), and the Eioile of
Monday. They are chilly filled with the conti-
nued debate on the admission of M. BENJAMIN
CONSTANT. A fter a long discussion, in which
M. de la BOURDONNATE7 aleading Ultra De-
puty, had the magnanimity to support the
bility of a formidable opponent—and after a
speech of M. CONSTANT himself, the debate was
closed.—A proposition was next made that the
Members should vote publicly, and not by pri-
vate ballot, which was rejected. Upon counting
the ballots," there appeared for admitting M.
CONSTANT 214, against him 168. He was ac-
cordingly admitted, and took his place amidst
the congratulations of his friends.

[From the _Voile qf Monday.]
Panes, MAY 23.—A letter from Toulouse says—" Private
letters from Paris affirm, that the Count of Carthagena
Morillo), who has arrived in that capital, has furnished the
Government with information of an import..ot nature relative
to tile French deserters, who are to be tried in our city on the.
21st of next month, as we have already announced. It Is well
known that most of these deserters were at Corunna where Gen.
Morillo commanded,"

Fito3l PERPIGNAN.—The passage of prisoners of war, ,
subalterns, and soldiers, ended on the 11th of this month, on
which slay the last column. of 147 men left the city to proceed
to Boulou, and to enter Spain the following day.—The stran- -
gers who were among these prisoners have been necessarily re-
tained at La Junquere; whence they were afterwards sent to
.Rosa. In this new depot they will wait tbr the decision of the
Spanish Government respecting their further destination. Man v
efliders, also prisoners of war, daily arrive, travelling separately
with passports marking their route. mong them we have
seen Col. Fernandez, Commandant cf. La Junquere, who was
at the head of the famous expedition of biers.
The Etoile quotes from the Aesirian Observer the official
news of the speedy evacuation of Moldavia and Walachia, in
the same terms as given in the 411,7,7meine Zcitung.

Vienna, has received. a courier from Constantinople, expedited

St. James, is expected to arrive to-morrow or the day after at.

AM ERI CIN PAPERS.

We have received New York Papers to the
25th of April, from which we extract the fol..

lowing :
NEW Yonx, APRIL 23.—Francis S. Cox,'Esq., bearer of
dispatches from the American 11linister at Buenos Ayres, to
our Government, has arrived at Philadelphia in the Argus-
All was quiet at Buenos Ayres, and the Government had adopt-
ed measures to concentrate the forces and resources of the coun-
tries on the La Plata, in the event of any landing of European
troops. C. A. Rodney, Esq., had recovered from a severe indis-
position, and was considered out of danger when Mr. Cox left
that country.

BERMUDA.—By an arrival at Norfolk, Bermuda Gazettes
to the 3d instant have.been received, by which it appears that
the troops stationed there were fast imbibing the same hostile
temper that the Governor had long manifested towards the
people of that island. The Commissariat had formally with-
drawn its patronage from the Gazette, as is intimated, in con-
sequence of its uncourteous language respecting their master,
Governor Lumley.

PIRATES .HANGED.—The Captain of the brig Jane, ar-
rived at Boston from St. Croix, reports that information
was received' there on the 30th ult from St. Thomas's, of
an American brig and a Spanish schooner having been
boarded on the 24th in Sail Rock Passage, by an open
boat full of pirates, and all hands murdered except a
boy, who saved his life by swimming, being near Porto
Rico. He reached land, and gave information. The next day
the pirates began to circulate the money which they took from
the vessels in Porto Rico, and were apprehended, confessed
their guilt, and seven were hanged."
[From the Gillorut Chronicle of March 24.1
'We are sorry to learn, by a private letter, (lated Februall
13, that intelligence had reached St. Vincent's of Lieutenant-
Colonel Dawson having been put to death in St. Domingo,
whither he had gone on a visit, through the agency of the Go-
vernment of that island, in consequence of a suspicion attached
to him of being a spy. Lieutenant-Colonel Dawson held the
office of Colonial Secretary in St. Vincent's, and was brother,
we believe, to Lord Portailington ; but we sincerely trust the
report is premature.
WASHINGTON, APRIL 21.—The Tariff has, at present, a
majority against it in the Senate -of one vote'. The yeas and
nays on committing it to the Finance Committee, are no test of
the final vote, as Mr. Chandler, who is opposed to the Bill,
voted on that occasion with the other side, not being willing
to smother the Bill by a measure of that kind, but being de-
sirous it should have a fair and honourable discussion. The
new-Senator from Illinois, will, however, be in favour of the
Tariff. His vote will then balance Chandler's, and there being.
a tie, the Vice President will give his casting vote in favour of
the Bill—such is the present circulation. It is not very likely
that any votes will, at this, time of day, be altered by argu-
ment. Both sides understand the whole affair, and it must be
settled by hard voting, and not by long talking.
The Senate have fixed on the 15th Slay for aajournment, but
the House will take a later day ; some say Ist of June—others •
25th May.
Joseph Lancrater, together with his family, sailer. from Phi-
ladelphia yesterday, in the brig Ann, Miercken, for Laguira;
also Mr. John Meyers, and Mr. Boyd, of New York.
We have perused in- the Baltimore Patriot, a letter from an
officer on board the United States ship Franklin, dated Val-
paraiso, Dec. 3, by which it appears that the interests of the
Patriots in Alto. Peru are declining, and which country, it is
believed by the writer, will ultimately fall into the hands of
the Spaniards. General Bolivar was at Lima, at the head of
the Peruvian Government, with about 7,000 Colombians, 2,500
Chilians, and all the Peruvians under his command, and still
expecting more.
On the 4th of December the Franklin was at Valparaiso,
getting caulked, whence she was to proceed to the Intermedios,
thence, as before, to Callao. The patriot ex'peditions which
sailed from Callao and Valparaiso have failed, and all the coast
of Upper Peru is again in the hands of the Spaniards.
The National Gazette, of Saturday, contains a letter from
an Officer, dated Lima, November 2, from which we gather
the following :—At a battle fought near the Desaguadero
river, at a place called Zefita, in Alto Peru, between the
Patriots under Santa Cruz. and the Royal Army, under Baldez;
though the Patriots claimed the victory,. yet Baldes gained
his object—which was to effect a junction with Alanete, an
officer stationed in the neighbourhood of Potosi, with about
3,500 men. It was asserted that this officer, in his advance to
Oruno, marched sixty leagues in three days and a half, by
which the destruction of the Patriots was effected. Santa Cruz,
after having vainly endeavoured to prevent the junction of Bal.°
dez and Alanete, began to retreat, and upon their approach
within three leagues of him, six days sooner than he expected,
his retreat became a flight. The.infantry threw away their
arms, and fled towards 1110. About five hundred of the cavalry
were kept together by. Col. Brae son, a French officer, who stated
that a body of Baldez's Infantry kept within musket-shot
of them for ten leagues, although their horses were -on 's
full trot. Out'of an army of 6,000, 1,500 only have bee- saved'
About 700 had arrived at Lima. After thus dispel ei.ig the
army of Santa Cruz, Baldcz marched upon Arequipa, whence
the Colombian General disgracefully fled to Quilca, and eii
barked his troops. He has since arrived at Pisco, where 13011'
var will concentrate his forces with the division of Chili, in all
about 9,000 men. The Royal army is about 18,000 strong; .0
that, upon the whole, his success was considered doubtful.
From these ancounts the reader will perceive that the recent
intelligence from Peru, of the disastrous state of affairs in Clc.
tober and November, is confirmed. And in addition to the
above, the Editor of the National Gazette announces a file 01
the Gazette of Colombia, published at Bogota, as late as the
15th of February, which contains an official acknowledgment
from Lima, dated the 26th of November, of the retreat of Sand
Cruz. The Bogota Gazette, of the 25th of January, furnishes
advices -from Bolivar as late as the 26th December. Rive
Aguero's defection, and Santa Cruz's retreat, are said to hale
prevented him from opening the campaign ; but it is added:,
that the division of auxiliaries from Chili, consisting of 2,501;
men, to be followed by 600 horses, had arrived at Callao, and
that Santa Cruz remained in Arica with a strong column. The
attention of the enemy was occupied by.him and the divisions
of Colonels Lanz and Urdiminea, who were operating in the
provinces of High Peru.
