The Paris Papers of Tuesday arrived this morning.
The Chamber of Deputies had on Monday another
discussion on the arrangements supplementary to the
Budget of expenses; but we•find nothing in it which
could be of the least interest to the English reader.
The celebrated Baaaas has addressed a letter to
one of the Journals, the principal object of which is
to vindicate his character from certain aspersions
which have been cast upon it, in a work recently
published, under the title of Secret Retniniscosces cold
Anecdotes. lie denies that he ever, at any period,
dreamed of seizing on the Supreme Power, or that
he ever received any sort of largess from BoNA-
PARTE, or any one else—he asserts on *contrary,
that BONAPARTE refs,sed to reimbui se him ibr ad-
vances which he had made out of his own pocket,'
and from his own accord to the Minister at War, in the
year seven, under circumstances of great emergency.

M. LECLERC, formerly Deputy from the Maine

law of the 12th January, 1816. has returned by
authority to France.

Advices from Madrid of the 10th inst. are in town,
transmitted from a quarter of the first political infor-
mation, and they distinctly state, that the Treaty
made with the United States, for the transfer of the
Two Florida:, had not been ratified by his Catholic
Majesty ; further adding, that there was not the least
probability, for the present, of its receiving the Royal
sanction.

Colonel AYR, and seven Officers belonging to some
of the gallant Regiments which have been enrolled
in the British Isles, in the cause of the Independents
of Spanish America, are arrived at Newry. Major
NODCODT and 10 Officers, with 18 men, have also
arrived there. Six Officers and 175 men, now in
Dundalk, are expected to join them ; and it is ru-
moured that they are all to embark immediately for
St. Domingo, from Warrenpoint.
COVENT-GARDEN.—Miss O'NEita.'s appearance in
Evadtie, last night, attracted a crowded House. The
performances were also distinguished by the presence
of Prince LEOPOLD. Previous to the commencement

of the Farce (Cynron), God Save the King was given,
amidst the usual expressions of public feeling, the
Prince-standing; though rather retired within his box,
and bowing at its 'conclusion. His Highness looked
in good health, but pale, and was. dressed in black.
Ali eyes were directed to hitn, and he seemed to re-
ceive the general tribute with a sense of its feeling
and sincerity.
VAuxnALL.—The fineness of the weather, and the
excellence of the various performances, attracted a
numerous and elegant company on Wednesday even-
ing. Madame SAatit, in her aerial ascent amid the
fiery element, astonished while she delighted the
spectators.' Amongst the company were Lord and
Lady LINDSAY, Lord BARRINGTON, Sir J. B. BUR-
GESS, and Mr. and Mrs. LONG WELLESLEY POLE.

ALARMING Accincisrs —Wednesday night a youth,
sixteen years of age, son of Mr. Pearcher, of Quebec-
place, Horselydown, previous to going to bed, took a
fine pointer dog of his father's with him into the
room, for the purpose of rubbing him over with a
composition of, spirits of wine and some other ingre-
dients, as a cure for the mange. Whilst in the act of
performing this operation, the flame of the candle,
communicated to the dog's back, and set it on fire ;
and, in his effort to extinguish the flame, it commu-
nicated to his 'shirt sleeves, which were soaked with
the composition, and set them in a blaze. To save
himself, he let go the dog, which ran under the bed,
and set the curtains on fire. The youth, in the greatest
agony, ran out of the room, screaming for help. His
cries brought all the family to his assistance ; his fa-
ther extinguished what rernaineclof his clothes, which
were en Bre; he was most dreadfully burned in the
arms, breast, and face ; even the hair was nearly
burned off his head. He was put to bed, and a Sur-
geon sent for, who rendered every necessary assist-
ance, and he is expected soon to recover. The bed
was nearly destroyed, and the floor nearly burned
through. There were two children in the bed, who
were neatly suffocated, before they were rescued from
their perilous situation, they being fast asleep. The
poor dog was so shockingly burned, that Mr. Pear-
cher deemed it expedient to end his misery by shoot-
ing him through the head with a loaded blunderbuss,
which he had in the house.
Thursday se'nnight a melancholy accident happened
at the mouth of the Don, near Aberdeen, by the up-
setting of a coble, employed in the salmon fishing
there, and on board of which there were four salmon
fishers, a woman with her two children, whom she had
taken out for trying the effects of sea air in alldviating
the hooping cough, and a girl about thirteen years
of age. The four men were pulling out the coble
through the breach on the sea shore, when a heavy
swell struck it, already deep in'the water with the net
and number of people on board, and an alarm of
danger being given by their cries and sl-rieks, an at-
tempt was made to draw the coble to the shore,
but unsuccessfully, the succeeding wave upsetting it,
by which all were thrown into the sea. The net,
which was partly out, was immediately drawn in by
the fishermen on shore, by which means two of their
companions were brought out, while a number of
white fishers, who were accidentally near the spot,
with the most praise-wortht alacrity, rushed into
the water, and succeeded in bringing the remaining
part of the unfortunate people to the land, two of the
men, however, who had disappeared under the coble,
not until after some interval of time, and the whole
seemingly in a lifeless state. Some of the people pre-
sent, with the prompt and laudable assistance of Mr.
nem:: servants, with the carts from his neighbour-
ing farm, had them conveyed to Mr. ALLAN'S house,
Brick Kilns, and another near; where, after a long '
perseverance in every endeavour which the circum-
stances would allow, or humanity suggest, the greater
part of them were restored. But THOMAS NICOL, a
respectable old man, and JOHN HAY, a young man
of twenty-three years of age, much regretted, also
nue of the children, about sts months old, were un- I
fortunately past recovery !
Monday afternoon the following melancholy acci-
dent happened on the river Clyde, near Glasgow
A party of young men, consisting of five, all belong-
ing to Edinburgh, were going down the river in a
small boat, and had passed Finnieston Dye Work,
when one of them, who was sitting on the gunwale, i
laughing at what one of his companions was saying, I
fell into the water. This circumstance alarmed the
rest, and, wishing to afford him assistance, they all
moved to one side of the boat, when she filled with
water. Two of them, George Henderson, farrier, and
John Porteous, locksmith, jumped into the water, and
were unfortunately drowned. The other two esca-
