kREPICiI PAPER ¢.

PARIS, MARCH Is.
Disaffection has endeavoured, for some dark past,
to spread alarming reports, which are completely be-
lied by the accounts we receive from different parts
of the kingdom. Some gensd'armes arrested at Ville-
franche n officers. whose papers were not regular,
and hence have been supposed disturb tnces at Lyons
and Bourdeaux, where all is perfectly tranquil.
Trooes from the garrison of Paris have been placed
at Vincennes, and hence newsmongers have imagined
that they were dispatched to the South. It is' to be
hoped that the firm march of government will put 'an
end to these tactics of agitators, and that those who
are the dupes of them will soon blush for their cre-
dulity.
A female news-vender was yesterday condemned
to two months' imprisonment, for having, on the
19th of January, hawked about the streets extracts
from the Oficial Gazette, and bawled out that they
•innounced the alarming news of the re-entrance of the
English-into France, and of a great conspiracy.
We learn from the Neurtlit Journal, that twenty-
one military have been transferred from Luneville to
I:IC prisons of Nancy. The cause of their arrest is
unknown.

The aew work of M. de Pradt, soon to make its
appearanze, will contain an account of the secret ne-
gotiations he was charged to con/bier, about the
commencement of the war in Spain, with the canon
Escoiquez, who had been tutor to King Ferdinand.

consumed a great part of the city of Adrianople. It

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES-SITTING •r TUE 1311.
M. ST. ALDIGONDI reported on 'rations petitions
presented to the Chamber. _ _

Among these was a petition from the beneficent so-
ciety of Paris, betting forth the dangerous effects of
the methods of education of Bell and Lancaster, and
praying the Chamber to favour and extend the useful
institution of the Brothers of the Christian school.

A petition was presented from various dealers at
Verdun, praying the intervention of the Chamber in
order to obtain payment of sums due to them by the
English prisoners and hostages detained there under
the late government. The Reporter stated, that the
Committee had obtained information on this 'abject,
from the Minister for Foreign affairs to the following
effect a..." That, by the treaty of the 80th of May,
1814, the prisoners of war respectively were bound
to pay the debts they bad contracted, before depart-
ing from their place of detention. This entitled the
Verdun petitioners to detain their debtors, or tb re-
_quire security ; but was quite inapplicable when the
prisoners returned to England. Neither government
guaranteed the payment of such debts; but the Eng-
lish government having already proved, by More than
one example, its a ish to do full justice to French
subjects, who had claims to substantiate" in England,
the petitioners might transmit. their proofs of debt,
properly authenticated, to the French ambassador at
London, who would claim for them the assistance of
the English government."
One Wells, a merchant and a foreigner, com-
plained, in his petition, of a denial of justice. Having
been arrested and detained at the prison of La Force
without knowing the reason, he claimed being brought
to trial. The Reporter stated, that from information
obtained from the department of Police, it appeared
that this persun had been arrested for circulating ca-
lumnious pamphlets against the Courts of Austria
and Prnssia, and, on the demand of the Ministers of
these Powers, be was in a course of being brought
to trial.

'VIENNA, MARCH 2.

An Evening Paper of Saturday presented it::
Readers with a copy of the Counta Petition of ti:e
Merchants, Bankers, and Traders, of the C.:y of
London, in favour of a modified Property Tax, which
it was intended should lie for signatures at the Lon-
don Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, till firer o'cic.:l on
Monday afternoon. This int-lligence was accompanied
by a remark that the Tavern in question had been
crowded all chy with liberal and enlightened Citixen3,
for the purpose of affixing their names to the Pu•rrion.
From this statement one might be led to suppose,
that, with respect to numbas at least, the Mansion-
house Petition would have to contend• with a power-
mid rival in the Petition at the London Tavern. W.il
it then be credited, that this Counter (we had alzuoit
said counterfeit) Petition, was wididrawn abut a
quarter past three o'clock on S it.,i day alt,:rnurri,
after being honoured with the sign, ttor;:s nt tw 1.,y.
seven 04 liberal and enlightened Citizeus ~ny
thing were wanting in the Petition from the Nlansion-
house to convince the House of Commons of the real
start of 11v City of Landon, as to the Income Tax, we
need only refer them to the London l'ave:n Petition
,for farther proof.

The silence of the County of York will no longer
be mentioned as a tacit proof of tbe approbation of
that respectable part of the Empire, of the intention
of Ministers to perpetuate the Tax on Income. al II
Friday, in consequence of a requisition to the High
Sheriff by a number of the most considerable and in-
telligent Landholders of that County, there was a
Meeting at York, attended by about 7000 people,
when Resolutions were agreed to and Petitions to
both Houses of Parliament against " an impost
which bears upon its face every character which a
public contribution OUGHT NOT to wear—galling, and
therefore impolitic—unequal, and therefore unjust--
inquisitorial, and therefore unconstitutional. A Tax ,
which, independent of these objections, the Petitioners
conceive to be nearly approaching its end—A Tax
which cannot be continued or resumed so long as
there exists any faith betwixt man and man, or any
confidence in the solemn pledges of Palliament "
The Resolutions were moved by Sir F:Z4NCIS
LANDLXY Wool), Bart. and seconded by Col,:zIel
W. B. Coors, of Wheatley, and c‘irlied Almost una-
nimously, there not being more than a dozen Lauds
held up against them. Mr. FAWKICII in a very elo-
quent speech, expressed his entire concurrence t!%.
sentiments of the Resolutions and Petition; but :le:
dined joining in the latter, from a decided
that a Reform of the blouse of Cominlns is the oil)
effectual remedy for our grievance, :Ind, therefore,
an Address to Parliament upon other topics useless.

Yesterday the French Papers of Wednesliy aid
Thursday arrived. The pleadings in thecause hei;:cen
the rival Duchesses of MotirEuELL() 3nd their respec-
tive sons, still continue to amuse the Parisians.

•The Chamber of Peers has agreed to the Resolu-
tion of the Chamber of Deputies, for taking awey
the pension of married Priests, by a majority of 14,
the numbers.being 71 to 57. This is a law of " evil
foreboding." It is in the teeth of a law of France at
the time these marriages were solemniJed ; it oppose,
a law of Nature, sanctioned by the laws of the Gos-
