FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Gazette de France of April 13.)
VIENNA, MARCH 31.—For some years past his Im-
perial Highness the Crown Prince has taken part in the
sittings of the Council, as far as the internal affairs of the
empire are concerned. The Emperor has just ordered, in
order to facilitate the despatch of business, that the Impe-
rial Prince shall henceforward give effect by his signature
to the deliberations of the Council on several classes of
affairs, which are specially determined by his Majesty.
This decision has been notified to all the tribunals in the
empire.
(From the Journal du Commerce of Sunday.)
PARIS, APRIL 11.—Private letters from Vienna of the
Ist and 2d of this month, give us a piece of information
which may be of great importance at Ws present moment.
The Archduke Ferdinand, the presumptive heir to the
Crown of Austria, has just been raised to the dignity Of
Alter Ego (Lieutenant of the Emperor), in consequence of
his reconciliation with Prince Metternich, whose views be
has always opposed. It cannot be absolutely affirmed that
the first Prime Minister has consented to modify his sys-
tem : however, there is every reason to believe it, if we
may judge by what the Archduke has hitherto shown to
be his character. " Without hastily advancing an opinion
especting the character of Prince Ferdinand," say our
letters, " we must say, that the people are fond of com-
paring him to the Emperor Joseph 11. Endowed with
much understanding and talent, remaining unmarried
through inclination, reserved and firm in his resolutions, it
is probable, in the opinion of those who have had op-
portunities of becoming acquainted with him, that he will
gradually effect a change in the odious system which or
presses us, since the death of the Sovereign whom he Is
said so much to resemble. Let us hope, then, that it will
at length be perceived in this country that sound reason
and the desire of information triumph over all obstacles,
and make their way, in spite of a tyrannical CensorshiP
, a®d the efforts of our Prime Minister."

(From the Messager des Chanibres of Sunday.)
PARIS, APRIL 11.—Letters from Rome of the 2d of
April announce, that at that time the Viscount de Cha-
teaubriand was still in that city, and that the time of
his departure for Paris was not yet fixed. Yesterday a
journal pretended that the illustrious Ambassador had
been treated with indifference by Cardinal Albani,
when he paid him this visit to take leave t we sec
what credit is due to such assertions, since he could not
have had his final audience. Besides, can it be supposed
that the chief Minister of the new head of Christendom
would, so immediately on his accession to power, differ
from a master who is known to have a particular esteem
for the French Ambassador ?

EXECUTION OF PARTRIDGE THE

MURDERER.

On Monday at noon the above malefactor was executed
at Bury St. Edmund's, pursuant to the sentence passed
upon him on Friday last for the wilful murder of George
Ansell, the particulars of which have already appeared in
our journal. After his conviction the prisoner preserved
that sullen taciturnity which had marked his conduct
during his imprisonment, and which indeed appeared to
have been habitual to him. It was reported previous to
the ti ial that he would he proved to be insane, but there
was no pretence for such a plea to be set up. The pig'
soner was attended by the Sheriff's Chaplain, who offi-
ciated in consequence of the lamented death of the
Rev. Mr. Stocking, the late Ordinary of the gaol
The wretched youth appeared to have very indistinct
views of the nature of religion, nevertheless he listened
attentively to the pious instructions which were imparted.
At an early hour the platform was surrounded by a rea
concourse of persons. '1 he scaffold was erected oppoeopposite"
Corder's door ;" and this was the first execution which
has taken place since the end of that wretched criminah---
The Sheriff, &c., arrived at the prison, and the culprit vrss
then taken to the fatal platform. A new executioner,
from London, having adjusted the rope, the fatal plank
fell, and he was launched into eternity. The body wes
afterwards removed to the Suffolk General Hospital for
dissection. This wretched youth was one of those tchev
influenced by curiosity, travelled several miles on the lath
of August last, to see the execution of Corder. Little did
be or his friends then think that he would so shortly suffer
for the diabolical crime of murder !

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

YOUNG DUTCH SAM AND NEAL

The stakes in the above battle (2001.) were appointed to be gircl
up last night at Ben. Lewis's, the Sol's Arms, in Wyetr.streel,
where a strong muster of sporting characters attended to witness
the ceremony, although, for the purpose of preventing an unneee!-
sary overflow of company, admission tickets, at half-a-crown each,
had been issued. The clock struck nine, and it struck ten, without
any stakeholder arriving. Mr. D. entered the room shortly after
ten, and informed the company of what most of the parties re-
sent were perfectly aware of—that he was not the stakeholder j
but that, considering the fight to have been most fairly are
honourably won, he should pay his bets, whether the stakes
given up or not (which he did accordingly), but that he supeoll,
some accident or other must have prevented the stakeholder that
attending as he intended. He was induced to state tiihiseocc
strangers should not suppose him to be the iiarty whose

delayed the proceedings of the evening. Mr. D.
then drank with much applause, and motions were made, -alf
messengers despatched after the actual stakeholder, who by
past eleven o'clock had not come forward. The pro levir"„t,
Chairman also informed the room that Neal was not likely to 11,
tend that night; and after paying some well-deserved comp
meats to Sam, gave his health, which was drank with loud al"
probation, and elicited his thanks in a very modest and on'
assuming speech
It is whispered that a match between Sam and Ward is not tlf:
likely to be soon made. A dinner is to be given to him at t°,`

LOSS OF A FISHING-BOAT.—We regret t°
state, that a fishing-boat, the Julia, belonging to a deep'
sea fishing company of Edinburgh, and manned by 51'c
men belonging to Cockenzie, was lost in the tremendons
gale of Thursday last, and the whole crew drowned, b
which disaster five widows and twenty-four children,
most all under age, have been left in a state of poverti
and helplessness. It appears that the Julia, along with
a number of other boats, had taken shelter for some
time on Thursday under the lee of the Isle of May, and
that while the others, from a sense of danger, returned to
their various ports in the Frith, the crew of the Jti
with daring temerity, proceeded to sea. The disaster
which afterwards befel them was learnt on Ftiday morn-
ing by the boat coming on shore a wreck at Thornton
Loch, a little way east of-Dunbar. Most of the bodies of
the fishermen had been found yesterday. The swell frot°
the sea, for 46 hours before the gale came on, is describe"
by some mariners who were exposed to it as having bee:
truly tremendous ; so much so that some of them expecte"
to have the masts shaken out of their vessels. We much fear
that we may have farther deplorable effects to relate of the
storm.— Caledonian Mercury.
