FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Mesrger des_Chambres of Friday.) e
NOTE AND DECLARATION OF RUSSIA.

Count Orloff, after having recounted in minute detail
the cirrumstances showing that, through the whole course
of the B lkian neeotiations, he has not failed to give the
unequivocal proofs to the King of the Netherlands of re-
spect and friendship which were conformable to the de-
claration.' of the EMperor his master,—a ter having said
that the Cabinet of the Hague cannot refuse to him the
justice to believe that he has acquitted himself of his task
with zeal and perseverance,—proceed as follows :
" A voluntary adhesion to arrangements (which the
treaty of the 15th of Nneeinher sanctions) as to admissible
amendments in a transaction that is to be final be-
tween two States, alone can termin ite this long and pain-
f tl negotiation.
" The Cabinet of the King of the Netherlands has
thought differently.
" His Excellency will not pronounce upon the motives
which hive influenced his Majesty in this :-!ecisiye circum-
stance, as his Majesty h formerly explained them. He
claims to be sole judge in a determination which so nearly
affects the rights of the Crown.
" j3ut his Majesty cannot conceal, and we announce it
with a prafound feeling of regret, that the Cabinet of the
Netherland has lost, beyond recall, a last opportunity ot
terminating tie Belgian affair in a marner conformable to
its true interests, anti its Allies (more especially in Russia)
must vainly hereafter seek tie means of being useful to it
" The Emperor has faithfully fulfilled towards the King
of the Netherlands the duties of a sincere and ingenuous
friendship; hut he cannot forget his duties to the Euro-
pean alliance, and, least of all, his duties to the people
whom Providence has confided to his care. These are the
obligations which it is his Imperial Majesty's duty to con-
sult in the determinations which he shall hereafter make
with respect to the affairs of Belgium.
"In consequence his Majesty has charged the under-
signed to make the following declaration :
" After having used all means of persuasion and every
mode of conciliation to aid his Majesty King William to
establish upon atnicible term', and in a manner consistent
with the honour of his crown, and the in:erests of the
f.ith'ul portion of his subjects, a separation between two
great divisionsi of his kingdom, his Imperial Majesty does
lint see any opportunity of hereafter rendering to the King
of the Netherland. either support or suss
" Faithful to his promisee, his • I ty will not
become a party to the employmenr6 'rcive measures
for corn; ening the King of the Netherlands, by force of
a- ms, to subscribe the twen•v-four articles; but consider-
ing that these articles comprise the only basis upon which
a separation I e: ween Belgium and Holland can be eff-cted,
and they being oven to amendments, admissable in a final
treaty between the two countries, his Imperial Majesty
considers it just and reasonable that Belgium should re-
main in the enjoyment of all the advantages resulting from
the articles in question, and more particularly of that
neutrality, in principle, recognized by the King of the
Netherlands.
" Ai a necessary consequence of this principle, his Im-
perial rtlajersty will offer no opposition to any repressive
(measures repressive:) which the Congress may adopt for
the purpose of guarantee ng and defending this neutrality,
should it be violated hy a renewal of hostilities on the side
of He land.
• In this case, should it unhappily arise, his! mperial
Majesty reserves to himself the right to con-ert with his
Allies as to the moans most proper for promptly re-esta-
blishing the neutrality of Belgium, in order that the ge-
neral peace of Etnope may be protected from even the
least danger of violation.
" His Excellency thinks than here he ought to pause,
as be is not. aware of any thing further which, at the pre-
sent juncture. he ran usefully submit to his Maj. sty. H-
resigna it to the wisdom of the Cabinet of the. Hague to
consider the consequences of a state of things which the
most sincere and disinterested friendship could have wished
to obviate."
After having presented to the King of the Netherlands
the foregoing declaration, Count 0,1.-ff demanded of his
Majesty a can-gm-it-al answer. This answer being in the
negative, the Count demanded his passports, ann on the
next foil -wing day s:t out for London, where doubtless he
halt afriied.
(From the Messager des Chambres, dated Saturday.)
PARIS, Manors 29.—The epidemic, the appearance of
which we announced yesterday, had proceeded in the
manner which usually characterises it; more patients have
been received to day into •he hospitals, several died yes-
:terthrar and to-day. The fallowing is the armunt of the
patients received at the Hotel Dieu up to to-day at noon:
—Three on the 27th, ten yesterday, and five this morn-
ing. in all eighteen, of whom eight had died.
The authorities had taken the wise resolution to pub-
lish every thing with the greatest franknesa, in order that
fe ,r rn ty hive no pretext to exaggerate the import tnee and
the ravair. s of a disorder which is generally more 1- ared
than really 'ormirlede in our el:mate. We think that the
alarm which the appearance of the disease causes will sub-
side in a few days, and that we shall see an end of the sod
rl. n tl. parr ore of strangers and persons in good cireum-
at.tncvs, who, as experience ha• tiemonstrated, have, from
th sir .itoation, less,rraAnn to fear the effects of the epide-
mic. The example of .Lonaon, as we said yesterday.
ought to make the citiz n- easy, fir in that city the ra-
vages the cholera are so inconsiderable that the WI ibi-
. o
tants deny its existence.
Tninors, Marten 24.—The two battens of artillery
destined for the expedition to Ancona remain for the pre
sent at Tool, n.

Three comp 'tries t f the Foreign Legion embarked yester-
day in the Vignyne, ie hich srtiled immediately for Algiers.
The Calypso frisate, which has just returned from the
Morea, is ordeied to sea again.
Some pers ns affirm that they have s,en, in the haunts
of some well-known legit'lrists at Toulon, printed copies
of a i.l,:n of a Constitution, which the Duchess of Ve. y
woutd grant to France, as Regent of the Kingdom, in the
name of her son Henry V. ; this Constitution is said to be
Mora liber than the Charter of 1830 ;it would insure
the provincial and commercial liberties,. of which the men
of the juste-milieu have only given us the appearance.
N-twitbstanding their pompous promises. we recommend
the patriots to distrust these palpable sn ires.
Parts. 1l I( CIL SO, 6 P. sr.—There are now 35 ra,tients
in the Hotel Di, u, among whom are only four women.
The disorder seems to have manifested itself in different
parts of the capital. Everybody fears it, but it is not
everywhere that terror fancies it is The physicians show
great zeal—they go to the hospitals to offer their services.
The cherniSts calm their neighbours' feirs by simple re-
ro,ilies, which they keep ready made up.
( From the Journ,l des Dehats.)
The remedy agjsst the cholera morhus is in cleanliness
and sobriety, and not in the place we inhabit. It strikes
you in the country and spares you in town. The Official
Report of the Academy of Medicine of Berlin proves. that
20,000 persons died in towns, and 80,000 in villages.
For this difference in the mortality we can give two rea-
sons; in the first place, life is easier, more comfortable,
mere substantial in some sort in towns than in the coun-
try ; n, et, in the country medical assistance is obtained
liter, and with more difficulty than in the towns ; and in
this disease the best remedy is that which comes quickest.
It adds—. We shall not speak of contagion, in which
there are no longer any believers."

The French Papers of Friday and Saturday
have been received by express. Their contents
are entirely pacific. The cholera caused very
~eneral alarm in Paris, from witich numbers
were flying into the country; but this panic must
be of short duration when the people find that
they are as safe in the capital as in the provinces.

" The official account) made up to twelve o'clock Frid ty
night, an•l publudied in the Moniteur, state that the
number of eases of chub :t amounted to 178, of which
11S were males and 60 fetnales The deaths were 60;
namely, 11 m Iles and 19 females. 01 the 118 remaining
eases, there are '77 males and 41 females. There has
been one case of cholera at St. D- nis; a soldier died there
yesterday, after a few hoots' ,utferings. Umm the whole
the tzeneral mortality has not been increased on••• sixth."
Private letters, however, a,sert that the num-
ber of cases amounts to GOO.

Being pressed for room w•e must refer for
further particulars to extracts from the French
Papers and to our City article.

The news in the German Papers of the 25th,
merely relates to the motions of the Austrians in
Italy and the earthquake, near Cosewza, in which
700 lives were lost.
VIENNA, Manor 22.—Metallies, Five per Cents. were

In the present number of the Westminster I
Review, there are several articles pre-f.nninently
calculated to support the high character of the
publication ; but there is one to which we wish
particularly to call the attention of the public. '
It is an article upon the Law Reforms of
America; and at a moment like the present, it is
peculiarly useful to our countrymen to compare
the reforms they have made in their laws
with
those which have been effected by their-trans-
atlantic descendants. Pra.:ti,ing lawyers are
less numerous and less influential in America
than in England, and the aristocratic division of
the profession into barristers anti attorneys does
not exist. Any person, not of the profe,sion, may
plead or conduct a suit for a friend, and the law
in every respect is more cheap, prompt, clear,
and certain, titan in any country of Europe, not
excepting even Denmark. The Americ,ms have
no feudal tenures, manorial rights, tithes, or law
of primogeniture, and their conveyancing is brief
and simple beyond the imagination of an Eng-
lish lawyer. The special pleading and technica-
-1 lities which in England defeat all the objects
1 of law are unknown in the United States.
I Even in our colonies, where we have reduced
I our title deeds or conveyances of land to what

we have deetned the shortest form, they are four

times as long as those of America. " Convey-
ancing," says the Reviewer, " was studiously
divested of those forms which have been the dis-
grace of English lawyers ; and before the
Revolution of 1776, a conveyancer wa,
found willing to do this for the colonists
in practice what it has been truly asserted prac-

titioners might do, but which none have been
hold and honest enough to accomplish in Eng-
land."—" In an English colony new lands are
fettered by half a dozen serious previsoes and
conditions. In the United States they are free
from all restraints." A registration of deeds,
mortgages and legal obligations, exists through-
out the Union, and all artificial rules, useless
offices, and useless functionaries, are banished
from the practice of the Courts. The law pro.
ceedings are recorded by stipendiary reporters,
and the Judges are made to analyze their
sentences and judgments, and to record the
principles and reasons of their decisions.
Throughout America the professional lawyers
are in the habit of studying the juris-
prudence of other countries, with a view
of meliorating the condition of their own.
In England we assume as a first principle, that
the Common Law is the perfection of wisdom ;
and except a few patchwork repairs by hole and
corner Acts of Parliament, we deem an altera-

lion of the law to be worse than sacrilege. Ec-
clesiastical Courts, probably the vilest in every
respect that were ever constituted, are unknown
in America. It is impossible within the space
of an article in a newspaper to convey an ade-
quate idea how immeasurably superior to our
countrymen are their descendants, in the public
spirit and enlarged intelligence with which they
reform all practical abuses in the State. Imme-
diately America threw off our yoke, she
commenced a purification of all the abu-
ses, jobs and prejudices which had ema-
nated from the Tory country. The Presi-
dent JEFFERSON says, " Before the Revolution
(of 1776) a judgment could not be obtained
under eight years, in the Supreme Court, where
the suit was in the department of the common-
law, which department embraces nine-tenths of
the subjects of legal contestation. In that of
Chancery from twelve to twenty years were re-
quisite. The reformation of this was among
the first works of the Legislature after our inde-
pendence. A judgment can now be obtained;
in the Supreme Court in one year at..Counnon-
law, and in about three years in the Chancery."
This was written in 1785,—and such were the
benefits of getting rid of English connexions.

THE FUNDS.---(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE 0' CLOCK.

Posted at the North and South American• Coffee-house :
" PORTSMOUTH, APRIL L—The following order was
issued by the Customs here this day :—Clean bills of health will
no longer be granted at Portsmouth, unless the vessel loads there,
or laden at an infccted port, not till she has left that port ten days,
and provided all on board are in good health. It will be stated
on the bills of health where the ship was laden and when she
sailed. Ships arriving here with all on board in good health,
will be cleard on arrival as heretofore.
THE FUNDS.

The only fresh arrival this morning is the Express from
Paris, which relates to three important subjects ; first, the
French prices coming considerably higher, 71; secondly, the
spreading of the cholera in the above capital, which seems to
have greatly alarmed the Parisians, and numbers are flying to
the country; thirdly, the approaching general pacification of
Europe.

In consequence of the improvement of the French Rentes,
our Funds have experienced a rise, but not to that extent
which might have been expected, owing to the speculators be-
ing still timid in entering into considerable speculations, before
they know with certainty that the Five Powers have ratified the
Dutch Treaty.
We understand that the Bank clerks have been for several
days occupied in counting and weighing the immense quantity
of sovereigns remitted to this country, the exchange being so
high that bills cannot be obtained on the continent, upon Eng-
land, particularly at Hambro and Holland.
Consols, which left off on Saturday at 83% ,/4 for the Ac-
count, opened at 833 %, went up to 833 %, and at present
they arc 83%.
Although we have no arrival of a Dutch Mail, still we un-
derstand that the Dutch Funds have also got up : this account
came by the Flanders Mail.

In the Foreign Market Dutch Stock is 42 to
HALF-PAST ONE.

By our estafette letters of this mornimr, we have received the
price of the French Three per Cents. after Change, 71f. i2tic.
buyers.
The private account 3 from the above capital, state the cholera
to be very bad there—above 6th) cases since the commencement
of its appearance.
A letter from Naples, dated March 15th, says A shock of
earthquake was felt he, eon the Sth inst about seven o'clock in the
evening. but was very slight. The day before yesterday, however,
expresses arrived from Cosenza and Catanzaro, with very dis-
astrous accounts. Catanzaro must have suffered most severely,
as it is reported that 700 persons have lost their lives. We have
not yet any intelligence from Lower Calabria or Sicily."
PARIS.—To-day all persons who profess to be niedical men
are to assemble in the hospitals to be present at the consultations,
amongst is h is the chief doctor of the Polish army, with
several others. Several cases have taken psace where the per-
sons stied in nine hours.
BOLOGNA, MARCH 2.1.—1 t is stated that the whole of the
second corps of the Austrian army, under General Geppert, is
approaching Ancona. The Austrian force in Lombardy is esti-
mated at eighty-five thousand men.
They write from Paris (30th March) that the pacification of
Europe a year agi was looked Upl mas a de'usion, but to-day it is
a certain fact. The great ability of Talleyrand, and the open
faith of the French Cabinet, have assured the peace of the worl.l.
The Improvement in the French Rentes has not hail a material
effect on our Funds. Consols, which were in the early part of
day at 834,14, went up to 8314 3a for the Account, owint, to some
good purchasers in the market, since which they have been done
at 83li % ; -at present they are 5314 14, for next time ti 337. 84.
It is sad that despatches were sent off last Thursday by
the Conference to the King of Holland, demanding his
categorical answer on the sth of April to sign the treaty, and
should he still remain obstinate the Five Powers are imme-
diately to sign the treaty. England and France are to take pos-
session of Antwerp.
In the Foreign Funds Dutch Stock has rather improved to
42 to %.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, (Tins DAY.)—
This morning these sessions commenced, before F. Const, Esq.
and a bench of Magistrates. Nothing of importance took place
up to the time when our reporter left.
In a small town in one of our northern coun-
ties a strolling company lately arrived to " astonish the na-
tives," and the gentle Desdcmona of the dramatic corps con.
sented, during her short sojourn, to domicile at an humble
cottage near the scene of mimic action. The barn—we beg
pardon, the theatre—being duly prepared, the play-bills thun.
dered forth the tragedy of Othello, our heroine, of course, sus-
taining her " original" part. The rustic cottagers received
a complimentary card of admission, and during the progress of
the tragedy expressed themselves " woundily pleased." All
Proceeded well until the scene between the Moor and our he-
roine, where he taxes her upon the subject of the " handker.
chief," which, he says—
" An Egyptian Sid to my mother give."
This was not to be borne, and the bumpkin roared out, "That's
a nation lie, Maister Black Chops—it wor' nae gypsy that did
gie it, but my )teary, who lent it to the poor thing to come
here to hact wi' it; I bought it mysen' yestere'en : and if she
liar lost it, why she mun buy anither—there be plenty more
like 'un at John Tumrnas's, in t' High-street."-0110.
The two heaviest engagements now (after the
remit retirement of the Woods and H. Phillips) pressing upon
Captain Polhill, are those of Farren and Macready. They have
both articled to be paid during Lent as at any other period of
the season ; and Farren has bound the lessee down to allow him
his full salary, even if Drury-lane should close, until the opening
of the Haymarket.

A prospectus has been issued for the sale or
letting of Covent-garden Theatre, and we understand that a
new and plausible scheme is in agitation, viz.—for the same
person to hire both Drury-lane and CovLsrit-garden (at a reduced
rent of course), and according to circumstances nightly, to play
comedy at the one and tragedy at the other. At present each
theatre is obliged to keep a tragedy and a comedy company ;
but should this scheme be carried into effect, only one complete
body of actors will be necessary, while the public have
greater variety, both in the pieces and in the performer'S. it is
also in contemplation, in this case, to reduce the prices of ad-
mission—the boxes to 55., the pit to es. 6d., and the gallery to
ls. 6d., abolishing,
if possible, the shilling-gallery.

DEATH OF GOETHE.

Goethe has just expired at Weimar. During the last two
years, and particularly since the death of his son, his spirit lost
its energy, and he was but the shadow of that which he once
had been. To his daughter-in-law was he indebted for that
tenderness and assiduity which soothed his declining years.
Goethe retained his faculties to the last. Though more than
go years of age, he still meditated literary projects, and talked of
completing his " Faust," and of executing other elaborate
works, with as much confidence as if he was in the vigour of his
youth and genius.
Few men, in the walk where Goethe shone so conspicuously,
enjoyed more happiness than he did. His superiority no one
attempted to dispute : he maintained a tranquil empire over the
literature of his country, which was implicitly acquiesced in by
every candidate for literary fame. In his intercourse with the
world Goethe acted as a man of practical good sense : his en-
thusiasm and romanticism he reserved entirely for his produc-
tions. He lived to see his name universally worshipped; and
upon Weimar, the place of his residence, he has conferred an
undying interest.
The death of Goethe cannot be regarded as an event of im-
portance merely to the literary world; it marks distinctly the
termination of one era and the commencement of another. He
expires with the literary age of his country, at the instant al.
most when its political existence begins.

KING'S THEATRE —A new Opera, by
Donizetti, entitled, Olivo e Pasquale was brought out on Sa-
turday night for the first time at this theatre. The plot is
governed from the beginning to the end by incidents aris-
ing from a stern and harsh determination on the part
of Olivo, a rich merchant residing in Lisbon (Signor ma_
riana), that his daughter Isabella (Madame Merle) shall marry
Monsieur le Brosse, a merchant settled in Cadiz (Signor Cu-
rioni), whom Isabella has never seen, and whom she does not
choose at all to accept as a husband. ()Neu teases and torments
his daughter incessantly for that purpose, and his fits of ill-
humour and decided anger, which surely afford nothing of a
comic kind, chiefly fill up the two acts into which the piece is
divided. Isabella's unconquerable aversion to the match,
which her father has prepared without consulting her, princi-
pally arises from a strong attachment which has long subsisted
between her and young Camillo, one of her father's clerks (Sig-
nor Arnaud), which has been, to a certain extent, unintention-
ally encouraged by Isabella's good-natured and fond uncle,
Pasquale (Signor Vincenzo Galli). Ilappily for the lovers,
Monsieur le Brosse is a very reasonable man, who, soon after
his arrival, having discovered, by Isabella's own confession to
him, how matters stand, generously resolves to lend himself to
a scheme whereby her wishes may bo accomplished. The
father is at last made to relent, through a variety of contri-
vances, which it is needless to explain here, and the lovers are
finally made happy. Tne music of this opera is good, but very
little of it original, being chiefly taken from Rossini and pre_
vious works of Donizetti. Madame Meric played and sang
with much ability. After the opera, a new grand ballet, en-
titled, L'Anneau Magique, was produced, and received with
much favour. It is very splendidly got up.

DRURY-LANE I.III..:ATRE. lie 111211 t re-
ceipts of this establishment, during the present season, have
averaged 2011., and the night's expenses, including every thing,
are about 2401. ; consequently Captain Polhill has sustained a
loss on each performance of 391. He stated, a few days since,
to the principal performers—viz., W. Farren, Harley, Cooper,
Wood, Phillips, &c.—that he was minus this season near
10,0001., and hoped they would come to a similar arrangement
with that which had taken place at the rival theatre, and con-
sent to some reduction in their salaries. Wood and Phillips
immediately declared that they would rather cancel their arti.
Iles. The latter course has been adopted, and Mr. and Mrs.
Wood, and H. Phillips are no longer members of the Drury.
lane company. They, however, appear in the Oratorios, as
usual. The matter as to the other performers is still at issue.
It is understood that " the little people" (i. e. persons receiving
small salaries) are not to have their niceties in the slightest de-
gree reduced.
COVENT-GARDEN.—Saturday iiight, after
Miss Fanny Kemble's Francis the First, Rosina was revived at
this theatre, probably for the purpose of introducing Mr. Wil-
son as Racine, and• Miss Romer as Rosina. They were both
highly and deservedly applauded. Miss Romer was encored in
" Whilst with village maids,"" The moon retires," and" Sweet
transports." The other parts were well sustained, and the
performance very well received.

The very scanty audiences at the two great
winter theatres in the beginning of last week, led to the most
gloomy reports regarding the intentions of the managers ; and
the belief that Drury-lane would close suddenly was strength.
ened by the fact, that nothing was advertised in the bills to
be played after yesterday. On Thursday night, however, the
attendance on the part of the public was so good (at least 2701.
having been taken at both houses), that a new prospect seemed
to open, and it was resolved to try the experiment for another
week. However great may have been Captain Polhill's loss,
it is understood that it has not been so heavy by more than
2,000/. as at Covent-garden.
The long-projected arrangements for the new
street from Waterloo-bridge to Long-acre are about to be car-
ried into effect. Workmen are now daily employed in clearing
the foundation of Mr. Arnold's theatre, which will be com-
pleted in the course of the summer. The principal entrance
to the boxes will be under a handsome portico in the new street.
That which was formerly the chief part, in the Strand, will
afford admission to the pit, and there will be various other pas.
sages to the private boxes, stage, &c.; so that all the incon-
veniences which resulted from the confined position of the for-
mer theatre will be completely got rid of. When the building
is completed the houses in the Strand will be removed, the te-
nants having for some time received notice to quit, and the
street, as far up at least as the entrance of the theatre, will be
forthwith opened to the public. Mr. Beazley, the architect, has
long been prepared with his plans ; the first stone of the new
theatre is expected to be laid by his Royal Highness the Duke
of Sussex, in about a fortnight.
Actors and actresses at both theatres have be-
gun to talk eagerly about their benefits, even thus early. Mr.
Charles Kemble is to play Macbeth, a part which, we believe,
for many years he has not sustained in London. Of course his
daughter will be the Lady Macbeth, and we earnestly hope it
may not be found a character above her power's. All we venture
to say is, that she is at least as competent as any actress now on
the boards. Lady Dacre's Isaure is to be put into rehearsal
for Miss Kemble's benefit as soon as the success or failure of Mr.
Sheridan Knowles's experiment in The Hunchback has been
ascertained. It has been said that Graham intends to revive
