:We have received the
_Paris Papers of Thurs.
Court of Peers, after repeated
sittings on the subject of the late attempts on the

life and person of the KING and the ROYAL FA,
..4uir.y (antecedent to -the explosions) declared,
Aligt out of the seven tyrftVe.persons who .11(1 d been
accused, only thirty4fotir ought to be tried,
-twenty-four as authors-or accomplices, cad the
iremaining ten for not having given information of
the plot. The time at which the trial is to com-
mence is not yet fixed.; but a fortnight's previous
'notice of trial at least is to be given -to each of
the accused, only twenty-nine of whom are in
custody ; the other five have not yet' been ar-
rested.

A long and stormy discussion toak place in
the Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday last, on
the Petition of a Captain DENBAUX, complaining
of being struck off the half-pay list of the Army.
he. Petition was finally referred to the. Minister
of War.

The third and fourth articles of the Financial
Law relative to Annuities, were afterwards mov-
ed, and carried by a large majority.

The permanent Deputation of the National
Parliament of Naples, consisting of S. S. G,aDI,
SCRUGLI, NICOLA', BERN', BORELLI, DONATO,
and STIIANO, assembled on the Ist inst. and pro-
ceeded-to the clectioa
.of:„'. President and Se-

A A I. •

cretary. Signor GA Lni was nominated President,
•
and Signor BEItiVI, Secretary.,
The Deputation has just addressed a Procla-
mation to the Neapolitans announcing its instal-
lation, and expressive of Hit patriotic sentiments
with liklichils Menlbers, Jere animakd, Tiae'y
promise to use every exertion for the maintenance
of peace and to watch over the safety of the

people ; and, in return, demand a ready
obedience to the Laws. Th-e Deputation regards
the preservation of the Constitution as its princi-

pal duty, since the Constitution forms the com-
mon bond of security ; by guaranteeing the Mer-
ty of the citizens, th of_the throne
and dynasty, and the maintenance of a just equi-
librium in the Administration of Public Affairs.
The Proclamation then continues in nearly the
following words

"If the in nocence and rectitude of its principles,
, as a thousand instances of loyalty -and me=
deration displayed towards all the Powers of Eu-
ropeiought to operate hrestablishing our new histi-
tutlon, wee should
.be as happy and confident as we
are free ; but ne w political Combinations, Which
have been recently formed, may menace our
tranquillity. 'We must , consequently increase
and strengthen our systeni_of..,defence, so that we
may be able to avert from- ourselves the 'storms
which agitate nations who must be regarded as
Foreigners to Italy.

" Citizens, cherish the generous flame of the
Love of Country ! Let it be to us'that sacred acid
eternal fire, which sooner or later reduces to
ashes the bulwarks of arbitrary power, and sur.
rounds with a brilliant light the horizon of free
•
Nations and the Thrones of generous Princes.
":Preserve constantly among 'yourselves the
relationssof friendship, justice, beneficence, and
concord : the greatest empires have fallen through
the effect of discord, and by means of concord
the smallest and most unknown States have risen
to the highest point of grandeur.

" Fame will transport beyond the Alps and
make known to the great Monarchs of. the North,
the calm and tranquillity which prevail through-.
out the Two Sicilies, as well as the noble atti-
tude which the people have assumed. These
Monarchs will say, ' This nation is worthy of
its high destinies,' and our good King Ferdinand
will rejoice in the just praises bestowed on his
subjects." •

• There. is' no fresh intelligence • respecting
Naples from Laybach or Vienna.
An article from Dresden' says, -that the Prin-
ces! MA4IANNA FEItDINANDA, youngest daughter
of Prince MAxImiLIAN of Saxony", has.been 'be!.

The Suliotes, according to an article of the
2d ult., from Corfu, .had embraced the cause of
Am, and with a corps of 5000 men occupied
all the roads from San Dometrio (three leagues
from Joannina) 'to Aurto. They had captured
two hundred mules.. laden with aminunition and
provisions for the Turkish Army, which remained
encamped in the plains near ,the sea-coast. The
whole of the escort by which this convoy was pro-
tected:were put to the sword. It was confidently
stated that Am had given his nephew and two
persons of distinction as-hostages to the Suliotes, and
had received is return eight 'of their principal
Chiefs: It was also thought that the other Greek
Chieftains, as well as-part of the Zamides, had en-
tered into secret arrangements with the PAcuA
end that he was supported besides by. 8,000
cites (inhabitants of a province situated near his
native town, Tepeleni), who had shaken -.off the
Turkish yoke forty- days before. If his AllieS
succeeded-in occupying the road of lifezzoro,.
of which they had orders to take possession, all
the communications of the Turkish Artily would
be cut off, and it could Only receive provisions by,
sea. " 4Ve cannot too much admire the ificou; !
stancy of fortune,'!, adds the articles, for it is
through the assistance of those who were lately
his enemies, that ALI is becoming powerful. It
is probable that his partizans hope to derive great
advantage from his genius and his riches, and
from haying at -their head a than, who, they are
'certain, can haie no secret intelligence with
the Porte." •

We cannot but view the revival of the question
of the .cotholic Claims, as another means for
harrassing the Minister, although his liberality, it
is said, has induced him to 'Concede, 'that it shall
not be-considered or treated as a-Cabinet Ques-
tion.
.Whatever:may be the feelings. of the GO,
vernment upon it, it is impossible to consider
these petitions--in any. other light than as intend,-
ed to embarms.Si,the Protestant division of the
present AdminiStration, and as calculated to ex-
cite an odium against :the Crown; ferit is will
understood,: that His MAJESTY' entertains a de.;
Cided opinion that he cannot consistently giVe
Ins sanction to a Measure which im conscien-
tiously believes will. endanger the Establishment
in Church and State, and the quiet possession: of
that civil and religious liberty which Protestants
of all denominations enjoy at present throughout
the British Dominions and which His august
Family: were brought here to maintain. The dis-
cussion, therefore,' at this period, can answer no
good purpose.
,For if, contrary to all expectation,
the measure should. pass
.through two branches
of the. LegiSlaitire, - it. appears very unlikely
that it 540104. iggelre the sanction of the thiid,'•

and a dissolution of Parliament must. then inevit-
ably follow, the consequences of which it is'need-
less now to anticipate. The broad grounds,.- on
which the claims of the Paikt..sto political power,
are opposed, are so obviou ss • well kiiown,'and
'-leave been so repeatedly state4l that lye Nbalt nut

,iion. li‘cantlizt be conceded that the Roman
Catholics have any right to a partiCipation'of po-
litical power, and therefore the question must be
considered solely on the ground Of e.tpe-
dieney.- In this view of the subject we "request
the attention of our readers to the last- speech
which Mr. PITT delivered upon it, on the
14th of May, 1805, as several 'Members of the
Legislature have, we understand, expressed an
intention to support a similar motion to that
which Mr-Fox made in the debate alluded to,
for referring the Catholic petition to a Committee;
at the same time, declaring that their only object is to place the Catholics of England on the sarne
footing with the Catholics of Ireland, but that
they will oppose at all times their a.dirniasion in
the Legislature and to the Higher Offices of the
State. In this Speech Mr.. PITT Stated, ‘4,that,
-" the points which had beenurvedwere much toot 4:
