The Paris Papers of Wednesday arrived this morn-

FAO', are wholly occupied with the uninteresting
continuation of the discussion on the Budget, and
oother day's proceedings at the Court of Assiaes at

Pierret, of whom so much has been said in the af-
fair cf gave the lie direct to all that Ma-
aisrle Munson has averred about Mademoiselle
Pierrct's knowledge uf the tragical affair in the
house of Bancal, and decLued that she knew nothing
at all about the matter.

The brig Messenger, which was dispatched from
Boston (linked States) on the 29th of December last
t) convey Belief to the Sufferers at Newfoundland,
at St. John's in twenty-four days. Had she
t :ea cne day later she would not have got in, as
Cc,,. harbour became immediately after entirely frozen
Gn. The relief was most seasonable, and the general
ieeliog of gratitude which it excited in the Settlement
roved that it was bestowed among deserving objects.
t. public Meeting of the Inhabitants was called, and
an Address of Thanks enthusiastically voted to the
Committee of Boston.—" You will not," it states,
conceive from what we have said that we are not
s..l.essed—the supplies to which we have alluded,
Lye indeed removed the fears of absolute famine,
Fit they do nut afford us the means of rebuilding
cz: Lathes ; of zeplacing our furniture, our clothes—
ozr feel, or even our provision. It is here that your
t,lunty appears as truly valuable—it removes our
fess—it supplies our immediate wants—and by thus
Znrding us relief, contributed towards restoring us
t, our former standing in Society." The Messenger
sided on her return to Boston on the Bth February,
and arrived safe there on the 4th of March.
The recent New York Papers are filled with aco.
counts of damage occasioned in that Province by ex-
trrndinarily heavy rains, and the consequent inun-

others tendered impassable.

mach concern to observe that the prevailing epidemic
Close has fallen with such fatal severity on the cen-

L.ropeans have also suffered from it.—An insurrec-

le purpose of raising to the Throne of Candy a re-
Lie of the Tyrant who was deposed by General
how itto, and succeeded with the general concur-
tea of the people, by the Sovereign of Britain. The
particulars are very inai—inctly given, but it would
appear that the defection is rather of a formidable
saute.

Lord CASTLEREAGH has been indisposed for se-
veal clays; he, however, gave a grand official dinner
gra Thursday in honour of the REGENT'S birth-day :
re consequence of which was, that his Lordship was

duties.
