PARIS PAPERS.

List night re received the Paris Papers of Friday,
and this morning those of Saturday.
In another Sitting of the Chamber of Peers on the
30th, the deliberation on the Plan of Law respecting
Elections was resumed, and the question fur its de-
finitive adoption being put to the vote, was carried
in the affirmative by a majority of 95 to 77. Some
memorable incidents occurred in the course of the
Debate. Marshal MACDONALD, in the midst of an
animated speech, exclaimed, " Honour to that Minis-
ter (M. DE.; Cans) who first from the National
Tribune, amidst a wondering audience, paid merited,
though tardy, eulogiums to the brave *my of the
Loire, whose glory is the inheritance of the country,
to which I and more that one Noble colleague are
indebted for our seats'in this House, purchased with
their blood." This homage immediately roused the
pure blond of the legitimates. The Marquis of
Rouorr had the assurance to affirm that all France
" does not contain more than 15,000 honest men,"
nay, verily he believed he was " exaggerating the
number." Tne Duke de Paz-James spoke of certain
perfidious counsellors ;" on which the Minister of
'the Interior energetically replied, "that slit real per-
fidious counsellors were those who surrounded and
bewildered the younger branches of the Royal Fa-
mily, the immediate successors to the throne, and
led them, if net into an ostensible, at !east a sec.et
'opposition to the Royal authority." Count LALLY
Totozetoto, confining himself mure immediately to
the question before the -House, gave so clear and
forcible an exposition of the met its of the proposed
law, that M. Cowen, the King's Commissary, refits.
qoished his right of winding up the debate, observ-
ing, that after the discourse of Count Tota.stioat,
his silence was for the interest of the cause.
In the Sitting of the Chamber of Deputies of the
same date, the proceedings present nothing of the
least interest to the English reader.
Accounts from the South of France mention, that
in consequence of the great arrivals of. grain at
Marseilles and Bourdeaux, a remarkable diminution
of prices had taken 2lace, and that every apprehen-
sion of scarcity in elf quarterthad ceased.
The Km has never ceased, notwithstanding his
confinement, to preside at the Councils of his Minis-
ters; but we observe, that an audience which was to
have been given to the Minister of War as on Satur-
day last, has been postponed till Saturday next. The
fact is simply noticed in the journals, without any
cause being assigned i but it is not improbable we
think, that some unfavourable change in his MA-
James health may be -connected with it.
The funds still keep stationary, between .59 and 60.

A Mr. Gamma, of Park-meet, Crosvenor-square,
found, on Wednesday, in St. Jarites!s Park, between
the Palace and the Stable-yard, a bullet, somewhat
flattened. Having mentioned the circumstance, he
was sent for on Saturday by Lord SIDMOUTU. Ihe
bullet is between the size of a musket and a pistol
calibre, and such as might bstve been fired from an
air-gun.
A number of men, understanding that the Meeting
at Spa-fields had been transferred to 'Palace-yard,
assembled there yesterday, and, after waiting some
, time, had the felicity to find out Mr. HUNT, whom
they followed, in full cry, to Mr. COBBYTT'S Register
Office, in Catherine-street, where the huntsman was
content to put silently up. Every one was alarmed.
Not less than 500 persons had followed Mr. HUNT,'
who entreated them to depart to their homes, he
having done his duty.
A Meeting of the inhabitants of Girvan was held
there on the 24th ult. for the purpose of considering
the propriety of Petitioning the Legislature on the.
subject of Parlii.mentary Reform, waen similar Re-
selutions to chase passed at other Meetings were
adopted.

A very numerous and respectable Meeting of the
inhabitants of the East District of the Barony Parish
of Glasgow. %as held in Toll-cross Church, on Tues•
day, the 28.1 i ult. to consider the necessity of Parlia-
mentary Reform, and to Petition the Legislature for
that purpose. Resolutions, embracing the sentiments
of the Meeting, were voted, And Petitions, founded.
on these, to be immediately pie ented to both Houses
of Parliament. The most perfect regularity pre-
vailed. The number of persons present amounted to
about a thousand.
