The Metropolis presented yesterday a phenomenon
not very usual—on a neeinnehqy occasion. It is trot',
indeed., that the funeral of the 'wicked is often. pro-
claimed by the deep tolling bell of the parish; but
we never before. witnessed such a ceremony accom-
panied by a merry peal, of even one turret, and Much
less of all the steeples of the Metropolis and neigh-
/ The individual whose decease caused all
this joy was Mr. Puttexwry Toxsest, a gentleman
well known throughout the empire for his unfeeling
and merciless exactions for a aeries of years. He laid
every person, except placemen and pensioners, under
a yearly contribution. Even these, to appearance,
he mtde also to contribute, but he futnished them
with the means out of the quota exacted from others.
He at length beCame so troublesome as to occa-
sion a battle royal in Palace-yard between some of
the populace and himself and his adherents, on
the 18th ultimo, in which affray he got his death-
blow, to the great joy of the whole British nation.
In many of the parishes in and, about London, the
most respectable inhabitants had a public dinner to
celebiate his departure. The Gentlemen assembled
at Islington concluded the ceremonies of the day by
burning the Property Tax Act, amidst the loudest
acclamations, and a discharge of [Chinese] artillery.

This morning we received the Paris Papers of
Tuesday and Wednesday. Such extracts as seemed
to be interesting are subjtined. The famous, or
rather infamous cause between the rival Widows and
their respective S see., of Vie late Marshal LANNES,
has been dismissed front the Courts at Paris, and sent
to the Provincial Tribunal at Agen, where the scene
of the first Madame LANNES' marriage -Jar. The
iil•advised measure of perpetuating the title of Duke
of Moxrzzax.r.o on the silt i •us issue of theinfamous
LARNE% has caused A this litigation.
Such is the detestation is which the French are
held in Switzerland, that Count TALLEYRAND, their
Minister there, has been under the necessity of offi-
cially remonstrating against the severity with which
his countrymen are treated. Under pretext of expel-
ling the regicides and ocher revolutionary monsters
from the Swiss territory, Frenchmen of the most in.
offensive character and manners have been very
roughly handled. All this treatment the French
most richly deserve : why did they submit so many
years to the infamous usurper, and the still more in.
famous slaves of his will ; and that inflict so many
miseries on Europe

P4RIS, APRIL 3.
Mnnduy morning, about one o'clock, two robbers
escaladed, by means of a ladder, the wall of the
inclosure of a house, Rue Assas, No. 11 ; and by
breaking some panes of glass in the first floor windows,
they got into the roan, where the master of the house,
M. Therillon, a builder, was fast ashrep, with his
wife. The villains, armed with poignards, approached
the bed and demanded money. M. Therillon opened
his secretaire and gave them about fifty pieces of
gold ; they also took his watch from him, and not
being sausfi d they forced him to open his commode :
here he found two pistols, and discharged one at
the rubbers, but it missed fire ; he then fired the other
directly into the sine of one of the villains, who in-
stantly sprang out of the window into the garden,
and once more got over the wall. His accomplice
struggled hard with M. Taerillon, who succeeda in
throwing him down. While this was going on, Ma-
dame Therillon leapt down from another window.
fifteen feet from the giound, and cried " Robbers !"
The other culprit then escaped from M. Therillon in
the confusion ; but the other who was shot in the side
his been arrested at the Hospital de la Charite, where
he went to get his wounds dressed. He is not ex-

petted to live. He had given M. Therillon's money
to a woman with whom he lived at Gros Caillons.
baL.Therillon was not much hurt.
Some agitators hkvevirculated false news at Lille,
which, thanks to the excellent spirit of the inhabi.
tants, made no impression : a disbanded officer, who
'circulated these reports, was taken in the act, and
conducted to the citadel.
Two English soldiers, who had robbed an inhabi-
tant of St. Pol (Pas de Calais), have been arrested'
by the gen d'arates.
General Mouton Duvernet is much occupied in his
prison, at Lyons, with preparing his defence. He is
collecting all the documents, even the Journals, which
may be useful to hint.
Queen Frederica, of Sweden, purposes to pus some
timikat Lausanne with Prince Gustavus her son.
