[MORNING CHRONICLE.]

' We have received the Paris Papers of Wed-
nesday, and the Eloile of Thursday. The latter
• contains an account of the proceedings in the
Chamber of Peers, on the 2d instant, with respect
to the new Finance Law. After some discussion
it was decided that the sense of the Chamber
should be successively taken on each of the
amendments, proposed by M. Roy. On a divi-
sion, on the first amendment, the numbers were,
112 for it, and 114 against it, so that the French
Ministry have had a very narrow escape. Some ridi-
culous intelligence is given in the same Paper from
Mexico, of the 20th Feb. of a date, long subsequent
to which the most satisfactory accounts have been
received in this country.—The controversy be-
tween Mr. Baring and M. Sartorius i 8 beginning
to assume a very unpleasant shape. In a letter,
addressed to the Journal des Djbats, dated the!
28th May, Mr. Baring had stated, "M. Sarto-
rius frequently spoke to me on the subject of his
project during the Debates of the Chamber-of
Deputies ; I rejected it, because it always ap-
peared to me that for the public simplicity in
plans, in which numerous interests are concerned,
is particularly necessary, and that in this respect
the Ministerial project was quite free from objec-
tion. When the law reached the Chamberof Peers,
M. Sartorius produced his plan to me, assuring me
that its adoption would obviate the principal ob-
jections which the Law would have to encounter
in that Chamber. This assertion led me to exa-
mine it with more attention, inf(' it is very true,
that after some changes of considerable import-
ance, I told him, that as Contracting Banker, I
had no objection to offer to its adoption, and that
I should eve❑ consider it as likely to add to the
profit of the Company ; I added, however, that
this plan appeared to me of a character by no
means worthy of a great GovernMent, and that the
favour that it seemed to offer to a class of annuitants
did not justify, in my eyes, the emission of 800
Imillions of values purely fictitious (pureinent de
,y'etc), and which, by complexity of operation,
would, for five years, keep up jobbing to a very
' high degree.—lt was my duty to submit to his
Excellency the Minister of Finances, the same
considerations which I had presented to M. Sar-
torius himself, and we see that they were not of
a nature to meet his approbation."—To this state-
went of Mr. Baring, M. Sartorius gives in the
Courier Francais, of Wednesday last, a flat con-
tradiction.

[MORNING IJERALD.]
Wednesday's Paris Papers arrived last night.
The Journal des DAals contains an article, dated
Zante, May 1, which, if true, is of the utmost

moment. to the deliverance of Greece. It ex-
hibits at the same time, in a singular manner, the
clumsy atrocity of the Turkish Government.—
It may be observed, that, for some time, Greece
was menaced with a tremendous expedition, to
be commanded, by the Viceroy of Egypt.—
The command, was declined by Mahomed
Ali, who caused it to be accepted by his
son. But the Porte was much more intent
upon the. ruin of the Viceroy than on the sub-
jugation of the Greeks, and- the expedition a
mere pretence to destroy .him. At- a moment
when 4000 foot, 2000 horse, 100 pieces of can-
non, and 3000 camels, were about to proceed
down the Nile, a fire broke out in the arsenal of
Cairo, spread terrific desolation, and all the
above-mentioned part of the expedition—men,
horses, cannon, and camels, with the excel).
don of a few guns, were • destroyed. Moha-
med was thunderstruck at this explosion,
and had difficulty in saving his life.- - The chief
author of the conspiracy was named Ibrahim
Bey, formerly a Mameluke. He proceeded
upon Cairo, and was supposed to have oc-
cupied it. The V.iceroy, however, it was thought,
would regain his ascendancy, and declare him-
self wholly independent of the Porte. Thus has
terminated, if the article we allude to may be re-
lied on, the last resource of the Turks against the
Greeks. Some doubts may be entertained of the
correctness of the account, which evidently favours
the Greeks in other parts. In the Morea peace is
restored, and Colocotroni about to be brought to
trial. There are no important accounts from Spain
or Portugal. The Journal des pawls - labours
strenuously to prove- that • the French vessels,
arrived at Lisbon from Cadiz, with a view to
proteCt the King of Portugal from his son, had
no troops on' board ; which would, it observes, he
contrary to the faith of treaties. A strange party
phenomenon has occurred at Paris. A Royalist
Count, having some idle time, set up a new
journal, called the Aristarque, and treated the
Royalism, the Ministry, as shuffling and pusillani-
mous. The latter turned round upon the journal,
and caused its suppression. The responsible editor

appealed, and the affair is yet undecided.—A
short notice from Madrid, of the 26jh ult., states
that the amnesty is highly beneficial, and that
most of those compromised in the exceptions were
out of the gracious reach of King► Ferdinand.
There are long speeches spoken in both Chambers ;
but the subjects have no interest for foreign readers.

The Rev. Dr. DUNBAR has, by a, series of ex-

periments in Scotland, ascertained, that when a
Queen 'Bee is wanting. for a hive, her Majesty
can be and is produced
.from the egg of a work=
ing bee. Inoue experiment, having re►noved the
Queen, the bees set about constructing royal
cells, and, placing common larva,- iu them ; in
seven days two Queens were' formed. One of
these killed the other, and though While in a
virgin, state, treated with no distinction whatever,
shell() sooner began to lay, than she be-came the
object of constant solicitude and respect, to
crowds of. her admiring subjects, who Watched,
fed, and waited upon her.
