The French Papers of Thurs Jay and Friday reached
us last night, and this morning we received the Moniteur
of Saturday, and the Etoile of yesterday, by Express.
The Moniteur, with a Supplement, is principally filled
with a report of the proceedings in the two Chambers,
which are rather of a local than a general nature. On
Friday, there was a long discussion in the Chamber of
Deputies, on the eligibility of M. BENJAMIN CON-
STANT to a seat In the Chamber.

M. le Comte de SALABERY, in a speech of great
length, entered into the claims of the Honourable
Member, particularly that of the law of December,
1790, which gave the privileges of a French citizen to
the descendants of those religionists who had quitted
France on the revocation of the Edict of Nantes ; and
concluded by voting against M. CONSTANT'S admission.
When Comte SALABERY concluded his:speech, in which
he complimented M. CONSTANT very highly on his
talents, several of the Members demanded that it
should be printed; but the President stated that there
was no law to authorize the Chamber to do so in this
Case.

M. de VA NDOIUVRE followed in a speech of great''
lelogtl?, he vDted in favour of M. CONaTAZiT'S eligibility.
M. Purr also spoke for some time, contending against
his admission, rather on the ground of his political
'principles than his ineligibility as a French Citizen.—
The discussion was afterwards adjourned to the fol-
lowing day.
The Bishop of TaoyEs had an audience of the King
of FRANCE on Saturday, when he presented his Majesty
with a speech he had delivered in the Chamber of Peers,
on the best means of repressing offences committed in
Churches.

The discussion was resumed on Saturday, but the
Etoile does not contain any portionof the debate, which
was opened by M. Foy.
Prince FREDERIC of the NETHERLANDS arrived at
Toulon on the 14th of May, and, accompanied by the
Intendant of Marine,' inspected the arsenal, the road,
and the hospital. The nest day he left for Marseilles.

The Journal des Debals has a curious article on the
recent departure of the adventurer kruname from this
country, which was first announced in the STAR. "
out wishing," says the Editor, "to prejudge the result of
the enterprise of knitting, we must say that it announces
audacity, and that the moment seems to be well chosen.
For we know through the authority of the English
newspapers themselves,that the authority of the Mexican
Congress had been deeply shaken by military insurrec-
tions, and that the weakness of the Republican Govern-
ment was proved by the concessions which it had made
to the chief of the malcontents, the General, or rather
the ex-shoemaker LovATo. In a State whets a shoe-
maker possesses Fowler, an Ex-Colonel and Ex-Emperor
may also pretend to it without being very arrogant.
Now, if ITURBIDE should recover the sceptre, what
would be the ultimate result? It might be possible that
he should only be clearing the way for a legitimate
Mince. The ways of PROVIDENCE are so extraordinary !"

It is remarkable that letters have been received in
town from Mexico, dated the Sth of March, in which
the expectation is distinctly expressed that the Ex-Em-
peror InntainE meditated returning to that country,
and the existing Government declared to be perfectly
aware of his movement,. Intelligence had then just
arrived of his leaving Leghorn for England, which was
well known to be preparatory to his present undertaking.
A vigilant look-out had been directed to be kept at all
the ports, in order to secure him on his landing.
The Etoile of Saturday has intelligence from Mad' id
to the 11th instant, but it possesses no interest. It is
only said that the late disturbances at Saragossa were
greatly exaggerated, although it is admitted that these
was a struggle in the streets which required the inter-
ference of the Royal Volunteers and of the military,
that an officer was wounded, two men were killed, and
fourteen taken and ordered to be put upon their trials.

CHAMBER OF PEERS.
The Duke of Levis brought in the report on the
Project of Law, on the conversion of the • rentes.—
The report in which the commission concluded on the
adoption of the project will be printed, and the dis-
cussion will take place on Monday.
We are assured that the Duke of Levis, in his report
made yesterday on the Project of the Law relative to
the reimbursement of the Rentes, spoke of a new pro-
position to the Commission by the bankers, but we do
not as yet know enough of the details to give them.
His Majesty the Emperor of Austria arrived at Lintz
on the 6th.
After the Duc de Lzvts had read the Report, M.
MOLLIEN and M. Le Comte AUGUSTS DE TALLEY/I,IND
inscribed their names to speak on the question; M. Le
Duc de DOUDEAUVILLE to speak for, and Messrs. de
SAINT ROMAIN, ROI ET PASTOLIET against it.
VIENNA, MAY 12.
Sir Henry Wellesley, Ambassador from England at
our Court, has received accounts from Constantinople,
by a courier, announcing that after a conference which
took place on the 27th April, with Lord Strangford and
' the Reis Effendi, the Pot to at length consented to the
evacuation of Wallachia and Moldavia.

This forenoon we received the following accounts of
and from Spain. Some of the rumours are evidently
en oneous :

BAYONNE, MAY 15.

Our letters from Madrid of the 10th state that capi-
tal to be still pretty tranquil ; but it may be apprehended
that the calm will be interrupted, if the Spanish police
should often take the liberty, as it has lately done, of
arresting Frenchmen, on the ground or the pretext of
their being Freemasons. This arbitrary act has irri-1
tated all the French, who are not accountable for their
conduct to any but the Military Authorities.
As the Swiss treat the Spaniards very ill, it is said
that General Digeon has resolved that the garrison of
Madrid shall be composed of French only.
To amuse the people, they are to be again indulged
with their favourite diversion of bullfights.

The King, by a Decree, has created a new Rente of
five millions of reals, in favour of the Sinking Fund.
A person arrived from Valencia says, that an indivi-
dual had just died there v ith all the symptoms of the
yellow fever. The prisons of that city continue to be
full. It is certain that orders have been given to eva-
cuate Carthagena. Every possible precaution is taken
to prevent the introduction of suspicious goods. The
great heat which is already felt on the coast of the Me-
diterranean excites well-founded apprehensions.
It is said that the Moors have seized on Ceuta. The
drought is such, throughout all Spain, that the harvest
this year will be next to nothing, and accordingly the
price of grain has nearly doubled, and there is no say-

ing where the rise may stop, especially if speculators
should interfere, as is to be apprehended: the distress
of the people is at the Height, fbr however abstemious
they may be, they still require 'some little food, which
they cannot procure, beittg destitute of every kind of
resource. It is affirmed, that it is not the Moors, but the
English, who have taken possession of Ceuta, with a
view to make a second Gibraltar of it.

It is reported that there have been some disturbances
at Corunnai on occasion of the return of some prisoners.
The fact seems to be that some of them have been
killed at Tolosa ; and it is said that all the others are
hastening back towards France. It was affirmed there
yesterday evening, that all the militia men who were
to return to Spain, have received Orders suspending their
departure.
