We receiveil yesterday the Paris Papers of Wed-
nesday and Thursday last. Those of Friday,
which were due this morning, have not come to
band.

• The Chamber ot Peers assembled on Tuesday,
when on the discussion of the Resolution passed
by the Chamber of Deputies, for granting further
time to the Emigrants for the payment ot their
debts, en amenilment was moved and carried fur
prolonging the period till the Ist January, 1820,
and the Resolution was seat back to the Chan),
ber of Deputies for their concurrence in the amend-
ment.

In the Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday, the
Baron de SAINT CRICQ, the Reporter of the Com-
mittee on the Customs Projet, was heard at con-
siderable length ; after which, speeches were also
delivered by the Minister of Fiwunce,-and M. Mott-

SAN DE BELLOY. The Committee then proceeded
to deliberate upon the Articles of the Projet. A
long discussion took place upon the first Article,
two amendments having been moved ; one by M.
DUVE.hGIER DE HAURANNE, for reducing the duty
on Cotton Yarn one-hall; and the other by M.

LAISNE DR LA VILLEVEQUE, for repealing the duty
on Cotton Yarn imported into France from parts
out of Europe in French ships. The Chamber
ultimately decided against both amendments. On
Wednesday they got through thirty Articles of the
Projet. On that day also, the Baron DUFOUGE:
RAIS reported from the ComMittee on -the Projet
for the abolition of the Slave Trade. The COM:
mittee proposed the full and entire adoption of
the Projet, with two slight amendments. The
discussion of it was appointed to commence after
disposing of the Customs Projet, which it was
supposed would be on Friday last.
We give extracts from the Journals in another
column. An article from Madrid refers to the
dispute between Spain and Portugal, and inti
mates that in consequence of it a body of Spanish
troops are still maintained on the frontiers of Por-
tugal ; but it, notwithstanding, anticipates an
amicable adjustment of the differences.

One of the convulsions of the earth, of which
we have lately heard so much, has, it appears,
done considerable damage in the neigbourhood of
Mount Etna, where not only many houses were

thrown down, but a number of individuals were
killed.

It seems to be certain that the Dey of
.A
Biers has fallen a victim to the Plague.

FRENCH FIVE PER CENTS.

The two Letters received this day from our
Correspondent at Paris are in general interesting,
but we shall make no comments on them till to-

morrow.

The Editor of The Leeds Mercury has favoured
us with a copy of his Paper of Saturday last, and,
no doubt, intended for our instruction, has marked
a long paragraph, probably of his own writing,
on the Report of the Select Committee of the
House of Commons on the Poor Laws, and on

e cruel treatment of persons arrested under the

Habeas Corpus Suspension, who, poor souls !
merely aimed at the destruction of Government ;
directing our attention likewise to two letters in

e same day's Paper—one from the Brother

the late THomas RILEY, and another signed BEN..
JAMIN WHITELY. The Editor's own paragraph
seems to be nothing more than a transfer of
hackneyed topics, we will not honour them with
the Hanle of arguments, from the factious columns
of The Horning Chronicle. The letter from ittLEr's
Brother, of course, vindicates his memory, and
asserts that he never uttered the words imputed
to him, viz.: " if he was hung be was right
served, as Lis conduct merited it." All we shall
sty on this posthumous denial is, that we can sym-
pathize in tl►e feelings of a surviving brother, but

that ‘g dead men tell no tales." As to the letter
from BENJAMIN WHITELY, it consists chiefly of
a panegyric on Mr. BENNET, M. P. We are
content that Mr. BENNET should have such
eulogists, but we shall be glad to find that be will
not in future expose himself to their praise.

The Trial of the gallant young Officers at Maid-
stone, of which we were the first to give the sub-
stance and result on Saturday la3t, and of which
we insert a full report this day, ought particularly
to attract the notice of Government.' It appears
that Deal and its vicinity have long been supported
by SMUGGLING, which has prevailed to such an
alarming height as to render it dangerous in the
extreme to attempt to seize. the offenders. The

Prosecution was brought against the young Offi-
cers for a spirited execution of their duty, accord-
ing to the orders of their. Commander, Captain

Nl‘CuLt.ocll, who has exerted Jiimself so effectually
'n protecting the Revenue, :and checking contra.

, .
band proceedings, that one of the inhabi-
tants told bins he had "starved the town,- an
admission that it subsisfed upon SNUGGLING.
The Defence of Mr. RoBiLtiARD was delivered
with manly firmness by himself, and received the.
approbation of the Judge. 'That .of Mr. ARGutrd-
BAU was read by his Counsel. The circumstances
attending this prosecution have excited a strong
interest throughout the County of Kent and it
is,-indeed, of general impOrtanCe to the Country
'at large, as relating to the ReVenue and the ho-
nour and safety of our gallant Naval Defenders.
What diminishes the Revenue must.increase the
burthens on the people, and if our gallant Tars,'
the chief bulwark of the Country, are to be pu-
nished for a due performance of their duty,
that bulwark- will receive a fatal shock.—

We shall say nothing respecting the conduct of
THE PoLicE of Deal, as that steaks for itself, but
as one of the Persons connected with it is said
to be an agent of the East India Company, it be-

comes the. Directors at least to, ascertain with
what zeal, ability, and rectitude, he attends to
the interests of that respectable body, and those
of the Empire at large, on the subject of the rig'
venue.

Her MAJESTY and the PRINCESSES arrived in
town front Wind For this day, .and are expected
to remain at Buckingham House till after the o•
proaching Nuptials of the Princess ELIzABBIIf
and the Prince of HESSE Homiattao, which 0
expected to take place to-morrow se'nniglit.

" They withdraw their troops, hut not their surveillance)
all the smaller contingents go home, but the four great
Powers keep each 15,000 men near the French frontiers, who
in case of need will advance upon Paris., The English will be
in Belgium and Brussels, the Duke's bead-quartets. Thus'
at the least motion in France, 60,000 chosen men will unite
at a certain point (Paris), and the Powers of the second order
will have a reserve to support the operations of the great
Powers. This Army of Observation will be paid for bi
France, which will be a disadvantage, as the money will be.
spent abroad, whereas what the French have hitherto paid
mostly returns into the hands of Government by the indirect
taxes."

A Brussels Paper contains the following article
relative to a trial for libel against two English
Littlies in that city :

great interest among the strangers, who arc in this.citY, "6,

GENERAL ELEcTIoN.The symptoms of
proximation towards a General Election are
sible in various quarters ; in none, probA%
more so than in the County of Kent. SOTti
months since, a pilot was dismissed, being.. charg d
with improper conduct and the loss of a ship atn.,
as lie has not been restored, we may prowl
that he was deemed guilty. We, however, ni/e
that a Member for one of the Western Cing.(:b.
Ports is now using every exertion possible IT.,
an East India Shipowner, in order to get 1,,j1,1
Pilot re-instated... For the sake of the trade th'j
navigation of the country, and the consistenc-yo
that respectable Court—the COurt of 1.003 AAA
NAG-E—vre trust that full inquiry will be Mad
and that this man, if really guilty, will not be re..
stored, but held out as an example and war°ing
to all others of his station.
