FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Messager des Chambres of Wednesday.)
PARIS, APRIL 21.—A Journal of to-day publishes
a Plan of Finance, and for the Reduction of the
National Debt, as intended to be proposed by the
Ministry to the Chamber of Deputies. We are
authorised to contradict the assertion of this journal.
A letter from Bayonne, of the Bth April, says :
"It is certain that the ship-builders of our city have
contracted with a Spanish company to build at
Bayonne 14 ships of war, viz. :—Three brigs, carry-
ing twelve 12-pounders; five schooners, carrying
two 24-pounders and four carronades; and five
cutter., each of which is to carry a 241 b. swivel,and
some pedereros."
(From the Gazette de France, da'cd April 23.)
PARIS, APRIL 22.—For some days past an ar.
mament has been spoken of which the English Go-
vernment is said to intend to fit out against Don
Miguel ; and the Constilutionnel of to-day adds, that
the King of England has declared that the young
Queen might depend upon his support. The re-
ports of an armament and a declaration of the King
of England are pure invention. England is not
called upon to interfere in the internal affairs of
Portugal either de jure or de facto. The treaties
do not stipulate the right of intervention, unless
Portugal is attacked by foreign enemies; and as for
the fact, there is nothing in the conduct of the
Government of Don Miguel which can justify an
aggression on the part of England. Besides, Eng-
land would act contrary to all the principles of
neutrality which it professes, and which have been
proclaimed by the Ministers in full Parliament, even
during the present Session.
The Government of Lausanne has just shut up
the Methodists' meeting. It is said that the same
measure has been taken in several towns of the Can-
ton, where there are similar meetings.
The Journal du Havre says—" We learn that 67
ships, bound fry France, are in the Baltic taking in
lading, and will bring us, in April and May, about
30,000,0001b5. of wheat."
(From the Courier Francais of Wednesday.)
PARIS, APRIL 22.--A revolution has taken place,
since the departmental law, in the eloquence of M.
Martignac. It is no longer that sweet and graci-
ous urbanity, that sweetened elocution which long
formed the delight of the centre right, and even of
a good part of the centre left; it is violence, acri-
mony, and almost invective. M. Cormenin, who
is already guilty of hostility against the Mount, to-
day suffered all the animosity of M. de Martignac.
However, this anger will not have the same conse-
quences as in the preceding discussion. The de-
partmental law granted something to the nation;
the present law disposes of its motley ; the former
will not be withdrawn.
The Villele Administration did not like the Peer-
age; it had to avenge itself on it; and yet it never
did any thing so burdensome as that which is now
doing. Thg public discussion on money, with which
it is sought to infect a dignity which the Charter
wished to create independent and pure from all pay,
is the most mortal blow which could be struck at
its splendour and importance. A-paid Peerage will
always be, whatever may be done, an anomaly, with
which ottr manners will not be familiarised. The
Peerage could not prevent the Government from
exciting afflicting discussions; but, when their turn
comes, it will be for them to do justice to the pro-
ject which has provoked them. We wish a just
feeling of its situation may inspire this salutary re-
solution.

LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 25, 1829.

Mr. PEEL'S Police Bill is, we perceive, every-
where undergoing an active discussion. Some
condemn it, others praise it, some think that it
does not go far enough, and a few, a very few,
that it goes too lar. All parties however are
unanimous on one point, viz. that the present
system of Police Establishment is defective, and
requires ample and immediate attention. This
granted, we know of no man so fit in every respect
to undertake an alteration of thiskind as Mr. PEEL:

or one to whose proposition of innovation on
the present system of Police, so much respectful
deferopp should be paid. He is a safe, tem-
perate, eonstituticnal ye former? one who legis-
lates by the aid of experience, not theoky ; hence,
notwithstanding the slight differences respecting
it, his present Police propositions are the sub-
ject of very respectful consideration with all par-
ties, and among all clamps of the community.

The French Journals are, as usual, uninte-
resting. The Gazette de France is chiefly filled
with contradictions of a report prevalent at Paris,
that the King of ENGLAND intends fitting out
an armament against Don MIGUEL. The
Courrier Francais condemns, in no very mea-
sured terms, some of the present proceedings of
