We have received the Paris papers of Sunday.
The Minister of the Interior made on Saturday a
most important communication to the Municipal
Council of Paris. He informed them the Baron
JAMES DE ROTHSCHILD had appropriated 5,000,000 f.
(200,0001. sterling) to the purchase of corn and flour
for the supply of the inhabitants of Paris. The corn
and flour is to be purchased in foreign countries, and
sold in Paris at the prices of the day. Should there
be any loss on the transaction, such loss will be borne
by the Baron ROTHSCIIILD,—shouId there be profit,
such profit to be devoted to the purchase of bread,
to be distributed gratuitously among the poor of Paris.
This will give Paris thirty-five days' consumption in
addition to the eighty days' consumption already in
store. But while Paris is thus amply provided for,

- - -
the provinces are suffering. Outrages of a very
serious character have taken place in the department
of the Loiret, and notwithstanding the presence of
large bodies of troops, plunder has taken place to a
considerable extent. On one occasion a detachment
of .50 Infantry and 25 Hussars were so hemmed in
by the people as to be incapable of moving. While
they were thus put hors de combat, boat loads of grain
were carried off by the peasantry. The following
letter, dated St. Malo, March 17, is published in the
Journal des Debats :
" A scene of confusion, occasioned by the imprudence of
the British Consul, Mr. Thompson, took place at our last
corn market. A sack of flour of 50 kilogrammes, offered at
first for sale at 32francs, having been subsequently bought by
Mr. Thompson for 35 francs, a mob immediately congregated
and cried, Down with the Englishman! Down with the
forestaller !' The gendarmes on duty immediately re-
paired to his assistance, and invited him to retire from the
market, where
the people were becoming rather riotous.
Mr. Thompson, who scarcely understands French, followed
the gendarmes, and requested them to come to his house to
explain the affair to his family. There he felt the impru-
dence he had committed, and expressed the regret he ex-
perienced. The prices subsequently declined in the mar-
ket, and a few hours afterwards the same sack of flour sold
for 26f."

The .Riforme mentions a trifling fall of 18 cen-
times in the price of flour in the Paris market on Sa-
turday. The transactions were calm and the sales
difficult. The price of the sack of flour of 1.57 kilo-
grammes continued from 117 f. to I'2sf, according
to the quality.

Mademoiselle MARS, the greatest of French ac-
tresses, died on Saturday. She was in her 69th
year, having been born on the 19th Dec., 1778.

THE LATE MURDER IN SHOREDITCH.—Monday
Mr. Baker held an.inquest at the Old King John, Holywell-
lane, on the body of William Gobart, who was shot on Wed-
nesday night last by Thomas Brooks, now in custody, in
Hare•alley, Shoreditch. The evidence adduced was little
more than a recapitulation of that given before the magis-
trate, and which has already appeared in our columns. The
jury ultimately returned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against
the primer.

The difficulties with the Turkish Government still
continue. In reply to the letter of King OTno, the
SULTAN desires that the settlement of the differences
may be left to the two Cabinets; and the Turkish
Minister insists that COLETTI shall apologise to M.
MUSSURUS.

Nothing shows more completely the subjection of
the unfortunate QUEEN to the tyranny of the French
Government than the present Ministerial crisis. She
is anxious above all things to free herself from the
French yoke, and as a first step would fain get rid of
her present Afrancesado Ministry. Her MAJESTY
wishes to appoint General SERRANO Prime Minister,
and immediately the Afrancesado Cabinet attempt to
banish him to Navarre, by making him Captain-
General of the province. Her MAJESTY refuses to
sign the decree, and the Ministers threaten to resign.
The QUEEN would be but too happy to accept their
resignation ; but, after a visit to the French Embassy,
a change comes over the Duke of SOTOMAYOR and his
colleagues. They will not resign. They appoint
SERRANO Inspector of Troops in Navarre, and on his
refusing to accept the appointment bring him to trial
for insubordination; and, backed by French influence,
set the QUEEN at defiance, who cannot (such is
the degraded state to which Louis PHILIPPE has
by his intrigues reduced Spanish statesmen) get any
any one to brave the vengeance of an unprincipled
and anti-national faction by countersigning their
dismissal.
