' The French Papers of Thursday and Friday last
give us the assurance that tranquillity is restored in
Paris ; and that the vigorous measures which have
been adopted have terrified the ill-disposed. It ap-
pears, however, that on Wednesday night, three per-
sons attempted to seize the sabre and musket of a sen-
tinel placed at the entrance of the Archiepiscopal Pa-
lace ; and that on Tuesday evening an attack was
made on the windows of the Church of Bonne Nou-
velle, which were broken, and an ecclesiastic there en-
gaged in his sacred duties, was wounded in the head
with a stone. Some troubles have also broken out
among the Students in the Royal College of Poitiers,
and two of the young men who were breaking win-
dows were arrested.

With regard to the plot of General Ilearriou, these
Papers bring little intelligence that can be relied on.
A private letter from Loudon, which appears in the
Gazette de France, states, that a fortnight before his
equipment he went about the department disguised
as a foreign merchant, selling lace ; his object being
to learn the dispositions of the inhabitants.
A private letter from Paris is, however, more com-
municative on the subject of BERTHON'S enterprise,
and states circumstances which would not be per-
mitted to appear in a French Journal. This letter,
which is dated the 11th instant, contains the follow-
ing particularss-44 General Baarnow is still in the
woods and marshes of Thouars with a handful of
men, which, in truth, the troops are in no great hurry
to combat, and, which it would even be diScnlt for
them to 04e. Several citizens of Nantes distin-

guisisesi for thenpatribtasui and their fortune,
the credit which they enjoy, have escaped from al.
rest, and assembled, it is said, on the left bank of z`le
Loire. There is agitation in that city and in seveaa
ocher parts of France. Whilst BgaTHOW it in some
sort inclosed to a country of difficult access,
Chiefs of the troops dare not place themselves in
mediate contact with this handful of insurgents, for
fear of bad example. Haaraos and Dews, nn the
one hand, and the Colonels on the other, might, like
the heroes of Homer, pass their time in abusing eaci
other before commencing a combat, but it is said that
the country itself is inaccessible."

The same letter gives a very unfavourable atconr:
of the gate of parties in the French Capital. It
said that the French Government wishes to trar.Tn
to Versailles, Fontainebleau, St. Germain's, the &Tor::
of Law and Medicine, which are accused of Hew:.

They were answered by sabrings. These were
turbances rather than a tumult, and still less a revo-
lution ; but the conduct of the agents of power, se',
diers and others, causes agitation.

The French Budget has given rise to a stormy
discussion in the Chamber of Deputies. The la;•
gnage was not only violent but of that complesi,.:a
which marked the debates during the worst perio‘l.
the Revolution. The debate was opened by M. Br's.
JASIIN CONSTANT in a speech of great length,
was frequently interrupted by furious exclamati,-:1
on both sides. Among the topics to which 1:e e.
luded was the policy of the Ministry towards Spzi-.,
which, he said, proved if not war, against t:.it
nation.—" We can have no union with rebels.," i...-
terrupted one of the leaders of the Ministerial party,
M. MARCILLLUI. " No," rejoined M. CONSTA!.:',
" but you establish on their homier a new Cob!en::,
as odious and deplorable as that of 1793." Cries re-
sounded from the right, " This is horrible is
a personal insult to the King, for he was at Coblentr,"
In answer to this, thqcouuter-cry from the left vas—.
France knew not Louis XVIII. then—the King,
Louis XVI. who accepted the Constitution, w.r. at:Ss
post in Paris."

M. de GIRARDIN defended the Spaniards.

M. de PUYMA U said, " None but ayactious
a man who has cringed to Bonaparte, would defc..J
the factious."

Some Member moved that M. P.. Constant's speech
should be printed, but this met with great opp3sition,
and it was rejected.

M. B. CONSTANT mounted the tribune, to reply to
some personal allusions, when the whole right side
of the Chamber (the Ultras) rose and withdre%‘, ex-
claiming—,, We have had enough of horrors ; ycu
are a rebel, a factious man, an instigator of troubles;
a friend of General Berthon, the apostle of the rebeli
of all countries—hold your tongue, factious !
rebel !--you should, for your speech, be rut in a sta:e
of accusation r—such are a few of the epithet: mei
by the partisans of the French Ministry of Lotns XVI I T.

M. TEaNAUX, one of the most sensible Members of
the French Chamber, opposed the vote for the Budge:,
and accused the Ultra Royalist majority of an eager-
ness to regain that inordinate power and to revive
those public abuses of which that party had the sole
enjoyment under the old regime. M. TERNAUX ccr.-
cluded by taking for the climax of reproach and ridi-
cule, that language which has recently in our own
Parliament been employed for the introduction of a
new principle into the acknowledged creed of ortho-
dox public men—" Go on multiplying your public
officers, and pay them largely, that you may have a
greater number of slaves devoted to you, and ready
to obey you."

BRUSSELS, MARCH 13.

Last Saturday, the church of Slype, between Ostend
and Nieuport, was struck by lightning, and entirely
consumed, except the bare walls. We learn also from
Groningen, that the lightning struck the steeple of St,
Martin's, and set fire to it, on the Bth : the wind was
so high, that it carried the burning timbers beyond
Steenstilpoort. The fire was extinguished at eight
o'clock, but, unhappily, a young man, twenty years
of age, was killed by the falling timbers : a police
officer was so severely hurt that it was necessary to
trepan him; a shoemaker was severely injured,
pand
a soldier is said to have perished in the flame?.
A leacr received at Curacoa from St. Martha
brims the important news that the Isthmus of PA*

nama declared itself independent of Sp.du °tithe 28th

A letter from Curago I, of the 26th January, says,
that two S-ani.h ve.celi, the Esperalizat and the F.,'
taxa, coming from Porto Cabello, have been taken
by a privateer•within sight of that port.
CORFU, FEBRUARY 15.

We hare received from New Prevesa the news that
Ali Pacha has been beheaded by his own people in
his fortress, and his head sent to Chourschid Pacha.
Private letter% relate the following particulars, which
we of course cannot warrant :—The want of provi-
sions beginning to be felt, the Officers of his guard
endeavoured to persuade Ali to accept free egress for
binvelf and his people, which had been offered him
by Chourschiti Pacha. Ali, who knew better what
confidence could be placed in the promises of the

Turks, firmly refused. His brother-in-law pressing
him more urgently, Ali fired a pistol at him, which
broke his arm. The Officers then seized this cruel
trrant, cut off his head, and sent it to the Turkish camp.

The accounts from the Morea are favourable to the
r;iet,ks. At the reduction of the citadel of Corinth,
the Greeks got possession of 24,000,000 of piastres,.
v. hich the Turks had deposited there. The whole
Greek army afterwards passed the isthmus of Co-
rinth. to Livadia and Thessaly. The seat of Govern-
nen! W;l3 immediately transferred to Megara ; and if
it is true that the citadel of Athens surrendered on
cr.c 31 ,Linuary, it will sr:on be established in that
rencr.t!):e city.

The Grct•k Government has decreed the pay of the
r.tilors. The (Efferent branches of the Administra-
ti•m are mg izcd by degrees. After a sanguinary
Errggle of ten months, all the Morea is delivered
front the yoke of tke Turks, without foreign aid.
