FOR THE SUN.

MR. ED►TOR,--Ou l►erusing the Parliamentary
Debates, as reported in your Journal, my atten-
tion was arreste►t by the expressionspoper
shillings
and paper sixpences : now, as I am a novice in
these things, I beg to enquire whether they are
the coinage of a paper head or a pal, mint ?

Besides, Mr. Editor, since wonders nevercease,
suppose I should be elected a Member of Parlia-
ment, and the subject of immediate discussion
should be the Coinage of this realm, and the loss
sustained by its circulation of one shilling in sixty-
seven, ought I not to consider the question in a
financial point of view, as to the annual decre-
ment which would result to the national revenue
from such depreciation, and not intrude on the
time and attention of the House by trifling and
useless verbosity ; since the former view of the
question, 1 with all due deference couceive, would
afford just grounds for a motion, and matter for
debate : at the time would it not evince that
the good of the Country, and not mere opposi-
tion, must be my motive ?
Relying, Mr. Editor, on your superior judg-
ment and editorial experience to set me right as
to these points, 1 beg to subscribe myself,
Your's,
IGNORAMUS.

THI3 LATE• QUEEN Or SPAIN.--Sfittlrday after-
noon, a solemn Mass and Dirge were celebrated
at the Portuguese Chapel, South-streer, tor the
repose of the soul of the late QUEEN Of SwindowsPAlN.
The chapel was all hung in black, the
were covered over with the same garb of mourn-
ing, and the chapel received its light only. front
the wax tapers on the altar, and, those distributed
through the galleries and choir. As is usual on
these solemn occasions, a coffin was placed near
the altar, which was covered' with a rich velvet
pall, and over it was laid a crown. The appear-
ance of the chapel was remarkable for its gloomy
grandeur, and when the mysterious rites of the
altar were aided by the deep tones of the organ,
the effect was impressive in the highest degree.—
The Requiem and Dies Ira were admirably per-
formed. The galleries and the hotly of the chapel
were crowded front an early hour with Protestant
anti Catholic Nobility, English and Fot eign : se-
veral Members of the [louse of Commons were
present. In the Portuguese Ambassador's ora-
tory, at the right of the altar, were the Duke of
Wellington, as. a Spanish Grandee, the Spanish
Ambassador,- the Portuguese, Bavarian, Russian,
Austrian, and Prussian Ambassadors, and several
other foreigners of distinction. This chamber
was rendered quite btilliant by the number of
stars, crosses, orders, and decorations, which
sparkled there on every breast. The Archduke
Maximilian also attended, and, when the Pt iest.had
read the Gospel, the Missal was presented to the
Prince to kiss, as is usual. When the office was
over, the Archduke, the Duke of
ar Wellingtf
ona
and the Foreign Ambassadors, ptook o
splendid dejeune at the house of Count Paltnella.

Yesterday and this morning we received the
Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday last. They
announce another Royal Demise : CHARLES IV. the
Ex-King of SPAIN, expired at Rome in the night
of the 20th tilt. after 24 hours' illness, having only
survived his Queen about a fortnight.

Nothing is said in tbeJournals of the state of health
of the sing of FRANCE, but it appears that for some
time past his MAJESTY has not quitted his apart-
ments, although he transacts business every day
with his Ministers. The KING, on Wednesday,
received the Bureau of the Chamber of Peers, who
delivered to his MAJESTY the Projet respecting the
Duke de RICHELIEU, as adopted on Tuesday by
the Chamber. His MAJESTY after►varcls presided
at a Council of Ministers.

On Wednesday the Deputies assembled in their
Bureaux, to proceed to the preparatory examina-
tion of the Projet respecting the Responsibility of
Ministers.

A rind took place on Monday between M. SAINT
Maacinutc (one of the Editors of the Conserva-
teur) and M. FAYAN, ut Nantes, in which the
former was dangerously wounded.

A seizure was recen►ly made upon the German
frontier of France of Cachemire shawls, valued at
400,000 francs, of which a Turkish Courier was
the bearer, who had previously declared, though
he was unable to convince the Douaniers of the
truth of his assertion, that he had nothing with
him but dispatches under the seal of his Cabinet.
The Princes left Paris on Thursday morning for
Ramhouillet, where they were joined by the Duke

of GLOUCEITER.
The King_of pro.,,,th„ it is said, intends, in
the course of the ensuing Spring, to take the wa-
ters of Baden, in the environs of Vienr.a.
A report, it appears, had been for some days
circulated at Vienna, of an approaching war be-
tween Russia and the Porte, but it is alleged to
have been merely a jobbing invention.
s from Madrid speak of great efforts
The account
making by the Government to retrieve, if pos-
sible, the credit of the Vales Royal, which are at
present at upwards of 80 per cent., discount. As
to the Cadiz expedition, apprehensions are now
entertained that it will not reach its destination
before the end of the year ; but a small naval
force is, it is said, to be sent out in a short time,
in consequence of the urgent and repeated re-
quests of the Viceroy of Peru.- The state of the
roads in Spoil), as to security, may be judged of by
the fact, that an escort is employed by individuals
at Bilhoa to convey money to Madrid, the con-
ductors of which are paid one per cent. for silver,
and 1 per cent. for gold. At Madrid numerous
patroles' were constantly employed to maintain
tranquillity.
From Munich it is stated, that the Bavarian
Government are about to publish an Edict re-
specting the Liberty of the Press.
The conspiracy at Valencia is said, in an article
from bun, to have bad for its object, first, the as-
sassination of Governor-General ELto, and then
to appeal to the people, and assemble the Cortes
