Our Readers will see from our Report, given in
another part, of what has passed this day at the Privy
Council, that, contrary to expectation, there is no
probability of our being able to announce the deci-
sion on the QUEEN'S Claim before to-morrow. As
Parliament will be prorogued to-morrow, it is possi-
ble that the result may not even be known until after
the prorogation. The last prorogation was so ar-
ranged, as to defeat the presentation, by Mr. Diti-
MAN, of the QUEEN'S Message to the House of com-1
mons, and it may be thought a like happy Cabinet
expedient to make the, present prorogation precede
the public announcement of the decision upon her
MAJESTY'S Claim, so as to prevent its being made
the subject of any Parliamentary proceeding.

The Paris Papers of Friday and Saturday have
arrived. The arrival of the news of BONAPARTE'S
death is announced in the Moniteur, and in all the
minor Journals, almost precisely in the same terms :
" The English Journals of the 4th instant fiave been
received. The death of BONAPARTE is officially an-
nounced in them. The following are the terms in
which this news is given." The accounts published
in London ate then subjoined, and not a word of re-
mark is added. So much for the benefits of a
Censorship ! _ _

The intelligence does not appear from these Papers
to have had any remarkable effect on the French
Funds. The Five per Cents. are stated to have left
off on Friday at Bdlr. 30c. being only a rise of 43c.
above the latest price on the preceding day.

In the Chamber of Deputies the event was alluded
to in a way which is variously reported. The follow-
ing are two of the versions:
_

" M. DUPLIGSIS-GRENEDAN mounted the tribune.
The orator opened an immense volume of manuscript;
the attention was already damped. His voice was so
weak that he could scarce be heard. He began, be-
fore speaking of the Ccnsureship, by presenting a
pic-
ture of the despotic reign of the Usurper, and of his most
zealous servants. But,' added he, the Usurper is
dead ; let us'speak of him of no more'—(interraption
frame the centre).—Then turning himself towards the'
left side, he exclaimed, Cry now, if you please,
Yive r Enepereur !' At this moment all the Members,
of both sides, quitted their places ; the Ministers re-
tired, and the speaker descended from the tribune
without having pronounced the fourth of his dis-
course."—(Gazdte de France.)
M. DUPLESSIS-GRENEDANr•' Here the speaker
entered into a long digression on the conduct of the
Ministry : his breast laboured—his voice became ex-
hausted—he had ceased to be listened to—when the
word ' Usurper,' pronounced with a strong voice,
struck our ears.—M. CASSISIIR PERM exclaimed,
It is the kick of the ass—the lion is dead V.-6 The
partisans of Bonaparte,' replied M. Duplessis-Grene-
dan, may now cry L'Empereur est mart, vire:lEllTc.
rear 1--A voice on the left—' It is a seditious cry."
A murmur of a particular character ran through the
Assembly, and it soon after broke up !"—(Constitu-
fionnel.)

The Monitcur contains a Report from the Minister
of the Marine to the KING, concerning the formation
of it new establishment, or colony, " connected with
the interests of French commerce and navigation" in
Guiana. A Commission, appointed for this purpose,
and consisting of three persons, sailed from Havre on
the 13th of September last, and arrived at Cayenne
on the 20th of October. These three persons, resi-
dent on the spot, were associated to the labours of
the Commission. Nine days afterwards they set sail
for the ulterior destination—the river Man; about

fifty leagues distance from Cayenne. They ascended
the Mana, about fifty leagues, and penetrated deeply
into the country on each side of the river. Their
account of the climate and soil is favourable. They.
have drawn up' seventeen Journals and four Mapi,
each of four sheets. The following,is a summary of
their Report :
6' The low lands, or those subject to inundations,
terminate at three leagues and a half from the mouth
of the Mana. At the same point the marsh insects
disappear. On advancing farther up the river, the
country is partly even and partly undulating ; and
the soil on the high grounds, particularly on the left
bank, is said to be excellent. Moreover, the country
is covered with trees of different kinds, most of them
fit to be used in building.
4C Hurricanes and the yellow fever are unkaown
in Guiana.

The country is intersected with rivers, which
fall into the Mana and the Maroni, and are all either
navigable, or capable of being rendered so.
ft They found thirteen falls in the Maria, which in
the rainy season disappear, al:ct that time
