FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Quotidienne.)
PARIS, MAY 11.-We learn from Pau that a number
of pieces of artillery, on their way from Toulouse to
Bayonne, had passed through that town.
The Marquis and Marchioness de Chaves arrived at
Bayonne on the sth of May.
We bear from Madrid, that an individual presented him-
self lately at the Palace of Aranjuez, to solicit the place of
Chief of the Horse Douaniers, a situation which he bad
held in 1819. The King having attentively lOoked at the
man, said to him, " Don't you recollect singing the Tra-
gala to me?" and, at the same time, mentioned the occa-
sion. The petitioner stood mute ; but the King, taking
the paper from his hands, added, laughing, "In those days
as in those days, and at present as at present ;" and granted
the favour requested.
(From the Constitutionnel.)

PARIS, MAY 11.-It has been announced that the
National Guard of Compeigne, participating in the senti-
ments of those of Paris, and dreading the same lot, had ex-
pressed an intention no longer to perform duty. This in-
telligence has been feebly denied by the Journals of the
Treasury, and it may be considered as all but certain. It
is also said, that the National Guard of Versailles has mani-
fested a similar spirit. By the National Guard of Orleans,
at least, those sentiments are entertained ; they cohsider
themselves as disbanded by the Ordonnance of the 29th of
April; in consequence, they did not attend to the call
made on them in respect of the ceremony of the Sth of
May, the day on which the exploits of Jean of Arc are
celebrated. On that day there were but IS of the Guard
on foot, and not one on horseback, whilst, on former years,
they were in the habit of being present in a body. M. de
Corhiere will congratulate himself on this voluntary dis-
bandment, which will spare him new Ordonnances of dis-
solution ; and M. (le Villele's joy is already felt, for the
latter Minister counts as nothing, doubtless, the result of a
measure which separates him for ever from the manly part
of the French people.

" LIES OF THE DAY.

" PARIgy MAY 12.—The Journal du Commerce—The
Minister who has disbanded the National Guard is going
to change the organization of the schools of the law and
medicine in Paris, and to remove them to other towns.—
The latter, it is reported, 'a ill be transferred to Tours.
" The Constitutionnel—All that it says of the National
Guard of Compeigne, &c.
4‘ PAWS, MAY 12.—Letters from Verona say that the
King of Bavaria arrived there on the 28th ult., and con-
tinued on his journey the next day towards the South of
Italy. His Majesty arrived at Florence on the 30th,
under the name of the Count of Augsburg, and having
dined with the Grand Duke, set out after dinner for Rome.
" The accounts from the Peninsula,' says the _Echodu
Midi, continue to be but moderately interesting, unless
we choose to take for realities what well-informed persons
on the frontiers treat as fables : such, for instance, as the
reports of a pretended aggression by Spain upon Portugal.
No movement has taken place on the Portuguese frontier,
every thing is tranquil in the unhappy kingdom of Por-
tugal ; but it is the kind of tranquillity which is allied to
resignation and hopes for better days. There is no reason
to complain of the discipline of the English troops.
" Spain, whatever may be said, is in a state of peace ;
those who continually regret the chains of the Government
of the Cortes, are obliged, with a view to represent Spain
as on the brink of a precipice, to relate the robberies which
may be committed between our frontiers and the Trocadero.
Spain is doubtless unfortunate; but it is strong in its re-
ligious and monarchical faith, and does not despair of see-
ing its wounds healed.
" ' There have lately been some changes in the positions
of the troops in Gallicia, which gave rise to an opinion that
part of these troops were going to reinforce the Army of
Observation.

" The Marquis and Marchioness of Chaves have arrived
at Bayonne, after a short stay at Irun. The Marquis has
hired a country house at Saint Pierre d'lrubi, where he is
going to reside.' "
