have received the Paris Journals of 'Satur-
day, .I.iclt contain only one paragraph worth ex-
tracting it is st'notieu to the
,French Who have
claims von the English Government, to submit
their titles this 'Month, on pain of forfeiture.
The Finance Law is still discussed, aunt the Funds
lire a little higher, viz. GO. 70c.

We insert to-da'y a sketch of Ike important Dis-
cussions in the !louse of Peers on Monday, and
a 101 l Report of the Pt oceediugs in the Commons
last night. It is well observed that the ques-
tion relative to the Admiralty Establishment is in
itself c►f little consequence, but it is the point of
pri►►ciple involved in such attacks upon official
branches of the Government rah.ich impatts great
interest to such proceedings. In fact, this is Only
one of the many ways adopted by Reformers to
run down the Administration of the Country.—
Every one will knock his brick out of tl►e build-
ing, and Revolution will find its way in by the
brrarb. A staid must be made agait.st these en-
croachments, and we have reached a point beyond
whic!► it would be madness and national suicide
to recede.

The fiabeas Corpus Act was sent dotvo to Ow
Commons yesterday by the Lords, mid ordered
to be read a first time this day, When lite 0111(1
Bills for the safety of the Crown end she preserva-
tion of the lit;es and property of the People, will
be mad a second time.

We have Ofiich Gullies of Ow three Bills
brought in by Lord CASTIAREAGIT, purse,llll to the
phn lIId down by Ministers; but as the blanks
arc not yet filled tip, we postpone their insertion.

follouing excellent, loyal, and patriotic
Declaration, is in ci;urse of being almost unani-
mously signed We are glad to see the respec-
tability of IVestminster vindicated from the disaf-
fected demagogues wbo sauctiou their svditions
by usurping the-name of that populous City :

WESTMINSTL" AND WESTE:AIN. GENERA[. DE-

c;LAItATIoN.

or We, the Undersigned, Inhabitants of Westminster, of
the Western Part of the Metropolis, and their Vicinities, feel
it incumbent on Us, at the present crisis, to make a Declara-
tion of the feelings with which we have witnessed, and the
opinion which we entertain, t 4 some pablie occurrences that
Lave recently transpired.
'' We have viewed, with greater indignation titan *c can
atiennately VXpress, the flagrant and 40vage Outrage com-
mitted against the Person of the Prince•ltegent, when en-
raged in the execution of tine of the most importaut- func-
tions of Chief Magistrate of the State. We would, with the
most lIVUty sati:rfaction, and with the warmest gratitude, re-
new the expressions of our dutiful attachment to his August
Verson, and to that Illustrious Family, to which our Country
/mist ever rtunain so largely inde!rted.
" %chi le we regard, with the deepest commiscratin, those
distrc,;ses which our tel suffer, and in "which
gurope participates, %Ye are
.gratified to FAR' the arm of Chari-
ty every where t %touted iirtiond us, to roitrister to their wants,
We notice, with ,the greatest 41,1 m :tree, 11,
attempts which have heett practiced to mislead the People,
lord to siggravAte their sufferings, by pretended rcruedies.7,
Determint rrever to -forget the .proud pre-eminence Which
our Natitor has solting enjoyed, and the mambo); which it
still maintains, and fully r °Orient olio, stability, we consider
it' reproach to the character of Englishmen, that ant, shonid
be lotion among nt anxious to add, to other evil,' those of
despondeuey awl disaffection, and who, rather. than derive
front a present calamity, pressingon ail 'classes, stroager mo-
tives to tinion and -mutual good will, would, teach others
meanly to set at nought their birthright, the Blessings of So,•
end Order, and the proper privileges of tiritons."

We pre as much infurmution respecting the

Westminster Convocation of ycst, rday as it de-
served. There was .a stplabbie between HUST
nild Buttner:l., it which the former proved the
Min of the Mob on the ground, and the latter
the Man of the Mob on the scaffold. Mr.
ilkononAm, in Pm liament, accused MiniSters of
tievihing, by the Seertsy
,Reirol,
"Pariy meaiott try divide thosv who bow hung tagetler"---
tik they are without any khans. of Mi-
histers, and aS for their huug,ing together, as Justice
Shallow ally*, " of that hereafter 413 m,ay be"—
they certainly do riot at present, though perhaps
they Ought.
