FR C U PAPERS.

PARIS, APRIL 4.---We learn from Naples, That
on the lst of March, in a private audience, the
Count de Maces, ambassador extraordinary, and
'Count de Narbonne Pelet, ambassador from his
Majesty Louis addressed to the ting of
Naples the solemn demand of. the hand of the
Princess Caroline for the Duke of lierri. Two
frigates" had sailed fur Palermob to convey to
Nsples the hereditary prince _ and his august
danghter. It is supposed that on the 18th ,d
April, the Count de IThicas,•as representing the
buke of Berri will espouse the Princess Caroline
by proxy ; and that her Royal Highness will pro--
ceed by sea to some port of ll'rance on board th'
French frigate Galatee, now in the Bay of Naples.

Some agitatins have circulated false news at
Lille, which, thanks to the excellent spirit of
the inhabitants, matle un impressiim. A disband-
ed officer, who circulated these reports, was taken
in the act, and conducted to the citadel..

A curious trial is, it is said, about to take place
hefute the tribunals. Miss Paterson means to try
to establish her rights as lawful wife of att cx-
king who has left pretty considerable property
in France.

We are assured that Government has granted,
lot 30 years, the tolls of the canal of °arm to a

General Travot has been transferred from
Nimes to"the Caitle of Ham, in Picardy.
A: German Paper, after mentioning the pro.
pbeciet of the peasant Muller, and the sensation
which they have produced in Germany, adds 'the
following reflections :.—" A singular sprit reigns
at present among Men. Disiatisfied with the pre-
sent, they foresee only revolutions and sabver,
sions : one would say that the bloody, scenes of
the past have thrown them into a kind of deli-
rium, in which the exhausted-sodl is tarn) I c d
with visions. If the men of oar day are atten-
. tively observed,.it will be found that they present
a singular mixture of cowardice and 'andaeity.' of
atheism and superstition, of sentimental hardness
and tenderness, of debauchery and devotion, of
coldness and romantic enthusiasm. They seem in
doubt whether they should. put.on the cuirass of
chivalry, the hair-shirts of Monks, or. the Roman
toga. They attempt to be every thing meept
what they should be. The true appears to them
the common ; the simple, trivial and stale ; -and
their worn-out palate finds ."nothing suvoary but
tlttrees." •

On the subject of the Lancasterian mode of
el.ication, attempted to be introduced into France,
')c AfoniJeur of the 4th contains the tullowini;,

not ice :
" By a letter of the 3J of February, the Grand
