LONDON,
FRIDAY, APRIL ;7, 1818.

We received,. this morning the Paris Papers of
Tuesday last. The Monitear contains a Royal
Ordonnance respecting the mode of , recruiting
the Departmental Legions. - The Chamber of De-
puties were again occupied , with the articles of
the Budget on Monday, bat the discussion is des-
titute-of the slightest interest, being entirely con-
fined to local arrangements.—The folloWing are
extracts :

‘`. PARIS, APRIL .14.—The Baron de Vincent,
the Austrian Minister, had-yesterday a conference
wiih the Duke of Wellington.
" DI. Dtthoyer, one of the Authors of the Cen-
seur, , was arrested on Sunday., and conveyed to la
Force. A Commissary and Officers of the Peace
went also to the house of M. Comte, but he was
not there.

" According to the last acconnta from Stock-
holm, the King will, immediately after his Coro-
nation, proceed to Drontheim, in order Jo be
crowned King of Norway, according to ancient

usage.
" We learn •from Brussels that M. &heifer ar
rived there on the evening of the Sth inst. '

" VIENIItv, APRIL 1.-A report, which is how-
ever very - irnptobable, has obtained -circulation
I.;,re, that the Spanibli Infant, Don Francis Paul,
who has left this capital to proceed to Madrid,
has been summoned thither in order to embark at
Cadiz, for the purpose of founding a new Dynasty
of the Bourbons at Buenos Ayres.

" APRIL 2.—it is not as yet known on what day
the Royal Travellers will depat't, but it is deter-
mined that the Viceroy of Italy will leave our city
two (Flys later, and take his route by Tyrol.' We
are assured that his Imperial Highness will be
the bearer of a favourable 'decision of the Sove-
reign, relative to- the ancient privileges which
this country lost by the late events, but which
have been recovered."

The Projet respecting the Bank of France ap
pears to consist chiefly of merely local regulations

It' must be evident to the Publie that:Ministers
have .been placed in a very' delicate and difficult
predicament. IL must be evident, also, that, in
the present state of the national burthens, it must
rather have been their- wish, and the object of
their arduous endeavours, to lighten, not to in-
crease, those burthens. THE SUCCESSION TO THE
BRITISH THRONE is certainly a question of very
great importance, and the late deplorable loss,
wbicb removed all tropes of an immediate Succes-
sor, [rendered it by no means improper that it
should at this'period, considerhigthe Sittla-
tion of the various branches of the Royal Family,
.have become a question for legislative notice.
We should,, therefore, conceive that Ministers
%I:o,dd have been doing no more than their duty
if, with " strong-nerved and long-sighted'' sa-
gacity, they -had introduced the subject at the
present moment, and had not been incited to
bring it forward by authority, to which it is ano-
ther part of their duty respectfully to submit.—
The Duke of CLARENCE has acted with becoming'
spirit in, declining an increase of income, not
spontaneously, butt reluctantly, conceded, and it
is only -to be re.gtetted that he had nut
formed an honourable connection in early life,
which, from what is universally known, might'
have obviated all present mortification and .

appointment.. With respect Co the. conduct of
Ministers, we presume that they were irresistibly
•urged to the measure which they have adopted,. nor,
in lowering the terms,-do we think, with an ()ITO-
SITION which nothing can satisfy, that they have
incurred any disgrace on the occasion. They first
.considered the vital importance of the Succession
of the House of Brunswick to..the British Throne,
and next the propriety of supporting that Throne
with all re'quisite splendour: Finding that the
latter point met with insuperable obstacles in the
quarter whence
.the resources of that splendour
were to be derived, they accommodated themselves
to circumstances, and propoSed what was not
unlikely to accomplish the object immediately in
view, and in case of favourable events in• future,-

essentially connected wilL the great question Of
Succession to the Throsuc, to leave such provision
as may -then.he necessary to.the public spirit and
'gencroSity of the people, as expressed through
the Constitutional Organs of our Politic-al Esta-
blishment.
