We have received the French Papers of Sunday, w
the illonitear and Pitete of Monday ; the two latter by
Exp..es>. The Pllote does not contain an =tick of in-
telligence wottlt quoting, and the Itioniteur is entirely
filled, with the except:oa of one column, with the lte-
, port of the Due de Levis, in the name of the Commis-
sion on the new financial Foject; and the speech of
M. IIEsJAMIN CONSTANT in the Chamber of Deputies,
on hl, eligibiiity.
General FOY supported his right in a long and
eloquent speech ; but the chief interest of the debate re-
vol Jed about the conduct and the speech of M. DE LA
BOLA:DONNA YE, the leaJer of the anti-ministerial Ultras.
The Honourable Member contended with considerable
'al nail, that the Chamber could not refuse the rights
of citizetv.hip to M. CONSTANT, without shewing an en-
ti.e disregard of anterior judicial decisions, without
ad'ectiog the interests and security of great classes of
his :‘l2sJx.,Ty's subjects, and v:ithout bringing into
Juubt and di,cussion the repose of a whole population.
At:cr M. CONSTANT bad been himself heard, and the
Itepot ter of the Cwornission had declined the exercise
of his right to address the Chamber, the rote was called
for. Tine:: of :ix Ministers were present, but took no
pat tin the decision. The number of members in the
Cnamber :.S2: or the,e 211 voted for the adioissi-
Aity of the I 'mum! able Deputy, and 168 against it.—
The PttEsinEst. then, to the ;Meat sati,faction of the
left side, declared M. B. CONSTANT, who was waiting
the decision with anxiety, duly electeJ. No other busi-
ness of importance was t.ransacted.
The Moniteur quotes, from the Austrian Observer, the

statement of the Ottoman Porte having agreed to eva-
cuate Wallachia and Moldavia.; and a paragraph stating
that a treaty has been entered into between the Porte
and Sardinia, by which vessels of the latter country ate
to have free navigation in the Black Sea.
The Journal des &bats mentions that Prince POLIO-
NAC, the French Ambassador at London, is shortly ex-
pected at Pat is.

The Journal du commerce of Saturday states, that
recent letters from Madrid allude, in marked terms, to
the extraordinary efforts making by the Spanish Go-
vernment fur the invasion of South America, and notice
particularly the decree published in The Madrid Ga-
zette, for the levy of 36,000 men 'by the I st of August.
One part of this Decree, which is printed in italic, is
exceedingly curious. It is said that the force in ques-
tion is to he raised for the " security of the Kingdom,
and for other objects of veater and more urge:a far-

norinnee."

A letter from Toulouse, in the Etoile, says, " In
private adviees from Paris, it is stated that ti.e Count
of Carthagena, General Mortitt.o, who has :tr:i ve..l in
that city, has furnished important information to the
Government te,pecting the French tefugees, who are
to he tried on the 21st of next month, in this city. It
is known Oa'. the ;'eater part of these refugees were at
Cul unna, iihete General Mortir.to commanded."

New Yolk Papers to the (25th ult. have reached us.
They state, on the authority of accounts from St.
Thoma,'s, that an American brig and a Sparish
schooner had been boarded on the 24th, in Sail Rock
Passage, by an open boat full of pirates, and all hands
murdered except a boy, who saved his life by swimming,
being near Porto Rico. He reached land, and gave
information. The next day the pirates began to circu-
late the money which they took from the vessels, in
Porto Rico, and were apprehended, confessed their
guilt, and seven were banged."
The last accounts from Buenos Ayres state that all'
was quiet, and the Government had adopted measures
to concentrate the forces and resources of the countries
on the La Plata, in the event of any landing of Euro-
pean troops.
The King of the Musquito shore was aecid.mtally
dro►vned a short time ago.

Mexican Papers to the Ist March have been received.
The counts y at that time was perfectly tranquil, and the
Sovereign Congress in Session. On the sitting of that
body on the 6th February, a Petition was read From a
Provincial Congress, praying that Government might
prosecute, with all possible expedition, the negotiations
which had been commenced with Great Britain.

In the Times of this morning there is a paragraph,
stating that intelligence had been received from Sr.
Vincent's, of the date of the 13th of February, of the
death of Colonel DAWSON. We are happy to state
that letters have been received at the Coloaial Depart-
ment, dated the 13th of March, which do not mention
this event, and which therefore render the correctness
of the statement contained in The Times extremely
improbable.
