The Paris Papers of Thursday have arrived since
our last, and in a preceding column we have given
copious, and not uninteresting extracts from them.
The Royal Ordonnance which we have quoted at
length, decreeing an amnesty to all persons who have
been prosecuted before the Correctional Tribunals, or
condemned to correctional penalties, for offences to
which they may have been excited by the scarcity of
subsistence since the Ist of September, 1816, will be
contemplated with much pleasure, for the union of
benignity and wisdom which it displays. Con-
vinced cf the real cause of these offences, and
trusting that that cause must now be fully re-
moved. -by the abundance which it has pleased Pao-
MOW/ to shower upon the land. the King wisely
holds that the terror of example is no longer neces.
sary. and that he cannot better acknowledge the
bounty of PROVIDINCZ than a by restoring to their
families and their occupations, men who were more
deluded than culpable."
The Duke of Sun Coal:mita, by the resolution
which he is stated in the article from Nuremberg to
have adopted, of giving a representative Constitution',
to his people, presents an honourable and gratifying
exception to the High Prerogative policy, which ap-
pears still to govern most of the other Princes of
Germany—nor is less wisdom manifested by another
act of this 'Prince's Administration, with which we
are here made acquainted—his abolition of the State
lottery, which, as is truly said, although productive
to his Treasury, has been found most injurious to the
morals -ibis people.

A Rastadt article of the 9th instant confirms the
report which we gave some dAys ago, on the Autho-
rity of a private letter from Paris, of an approaching
Congress at Carlsbad.
French 5 per Cents. Wednesday, 6Sf. 55c.

Authentic advice., we understand, have been re-
ceived from Spain, stating that the conduct of M.
de GARAY towards British Merchant!, has drawn
from the latter remonstrances to nor Governmet.t
the most pressing. They complain that the Spanish
Minister has shown the most hostile spirit towards
them; that the Treaty is grossly violated ; that they
are subjected to the most odious exactions; and that
unless the British Court shall interfere in a more ef•
fectual way than they Inve hitherto done, not only
our interests, but our national honour, will mate-
rially suffer.
