The Sun.
London, England, 1816-12-19 00:00:00

The Paris Papers of Monday reached us this
forenoon, at an, hour so near that of our publica-
tion as to preclude our doing more than taking a
brief notice of their contents, which are of very
trifling nature. Mention is made of considerable
landed purchases in several Provinces by Bri-
tish Settlers in France, and that a Broker
in Paris has purchased 500,000,000 of francs in
the three per cents. for English Houses. This
of course from apprehension of a Spa-fields Re-
volution, and confidence in the greater stability
of affairs in France !---The hurricane of Satur-
day has done a good deal of damage to Paris.

The following are the principal contents of
another Ditch Mail, just arrived :

" linusseLs, Dec. 12.-1 t appears that the
Rnssian General-in-thief Count Woranzow's
joutney to Paris, is caused—by-the necessity of
taking measures fOr the supply of his corps, as
provisions become daily scarce in that part of
France. We expect this General in a short time

in this city.
" The Duke of Wellington, during the time he
remained here, was present at all the grand en-
tertainments given by the Count and persons of
distinction. He returned with General Murray to
Mount St. Maine. Several soldiers of the Army
of Occupation, some of them belonging to the
British Contingent, have been severely punished
for irregular conduct.

young WArsoN is still too well concealed for

the activity of the Police to discover him. This,
by the way, in the face of the temptation offered
for his apprehension, while it does credit to the
fidelity of his associates, affords a melancholy ex-
ample of the coherence of the infamous party to
which he belongs.

The investigations at the Mansion House still
continue, and more anonymous letters are daily
published. We confess our dislike to both these
exhibitions. The vapidness of these protracted
examinations begins to throw an air of ridicule
over a very serious and important transaction;
and the attention bestowed upon a►aauthenti-
cated communications gives a sort of sanction to

that species of intercotme which is always unsafe,
and generally scandalous and infamous. Whether

the writers are playing upon the consummate ego-
tism of the Magistrate, merely for the sake of a
silly jest, or aiming at the more useful effect of
misleading enquiry and diverting pursuit, it is
high time to terminate this absurd part of the
business. We would also recommend, that an
end should be put to the public conrersoxicne's
bete een the Lora MAYOU anti Secretary
PRESTON or any of the other crazy orators of the
faction. It is utterly impossible thlt these collo-
quies can conduce to promote the cause of justice,
and at this distance of time front the commission
of the offence, it seems clear to us, that the

persons, at least those originally charged with
being guilty of it, ?botild have been either finally
conunitted for ttial or discharged.

We by no means intend to question the Logo
MAYOR'S Magisterial activity, or his sincere
desire to come at the truth ; but we leirnent for

the sake of the matter in band that Eiji lat-
ter conclusion has not been touched, nor
seems likely to be, without occupying as many
columns in the daily Newspapers as would
serve for a history of all the rebellions awl riots
