FRENCH PAPERS.

(Frani the Etlk qf Wednesday, March 1.)
PARIS, FEB. 28.—We yesterday announced
the departure of the Duchemof Berri for Rosily.
At St. Germans, the post horses ran away with
her Royal Highness's carriage, and overturned
it. The Princess happily escaped with only a
slight contusion. The Marchioness de Gourgou
!lad a finger cut, and the Countess d'llountefort
sprained her wrist.
A report of the change of the Spanish Ministry
WAS spread yesterday on 'Change. This news is
a mere fiction, as well as that of the death of the
Emperor of Austria, which was again repeated
yesterday.
The Journal des Debate brings forward, for the
hundredth time, its announcement of the passage
of the Pruth by the Russian armies ; but this
time they have not yet passed ; they will not
actually pass it till the Spring.
The Biography of the Deputies of the Septen-
nial Chamber, 1824 to 1830, was seized yester-
day at one o'clock, in the shop of M. Denter, at
the instance of the King's Attorney-General, by
virtue of Art. 6 of the law of 25th March, 1820.
The seizure was made at the same time in the
Palais Royal, and the printing offices, by two
Commissaries of Police, assisted by two inspectors.
M. neuter protested against the seizure, and
desired to refer to the President of the Tribunal;
the Commissaries refused ; 487 copies have been
depOsited with the Clerk of the Court. It is said
that 83 articles in the work are complained of.
The Lisbon Gazelle of the 11th of February
announces, that on the 27th and 28th of that
month, and the Ist of March, there will he a
public sale in the town of Fontein, province of
Even, of all the lands, houses, mid other depeu-
deneies belonging to the Inquisition in the exf
tent of that jurisdiction., On the following days
will be sold, the estates of the Inquisition in the
district of Coithbra. The payment may be
made in bonds of the public debt at the exchange
of the day.
The Journal of St. Petersburg!' contains the
continuation of the funeral procession of the
Emperor Alexander from the village of Pok-
rowskoe. Every where the inhabitants shew-
ed the same eagerness to pay the last duties
to the remains` of the beloved Sovereign whom
,Russia has lost. At Koursk, in particular,
where it arrived on the 28th of January, these
sentiments were expressed in the most decisive
manner. The Church, which had been fitted up
(or the occasion, exceeded expectation, but its
finest ornament was an inscription taken from the
letter of the Empress Our Angel is in
Heaven." On the 29th, the funeral left that
town, and arrived hi the evening at Kourassan.

A man named Guillaume Was condemned to
death, a few days ago, ut Melon, in France, for
various murders which he had committed. From
his condemnation to his execution, ho passed
great pint of his time in playing cards with the
gaoler, to whom he related many anecdotes of
his life, amongst which he mentioned the follow-
ing, saying it was the best action he had ever
done. During the reign of terror, the plate and
other valuable effects of the Abbe de Flay, his
godfather, were confiscated ; Guillaume having
discovered where they were deposited by the
public officer who seized thempaucceeded in
stealing them. He 'then sold them to a Jew in
Paris, and brought to the Ahbe de Flay the
whole of the money he had received from' the
sale of the stolen articles. On the day of his
execution, on stepping into the cart, he ex.
claimed, " Je mceurt en Francais" (I die like a
Frenchman). As soon us he got within sight of
the guillotine, he said, 64 Oh, there it is ; this
time I shall not escape it." On quitting the
cart, he said, with a steady voice, " Adieu, my
friends, I am innocent, and I have still the same
courage to meet death." And in fact his courage
end effrontery never abandoned him for a 111Q'
meat. lie ascended the scaffold with a firm
step, -reciting the'two first verites of a ceinplailit
or dying ballad, which le had composed "since
his rontionnietion; 'and which contains a farewell
to his family and friends.
