Last right, at a quarter before eleven o'clock, the
Pau= RECENT arrived at Carlton House in his new
travelling carriage, attended by Sir Bas.rawtx BLoom-
nem, from Brighton, which he left at two o'clock.
Prince LEOPOLD of COBOURO remains at Brighton
another fortnight.
The ceremonial of the marriage between her Royal
Highness the Princess Cuancorre and his Highness
Prince LEOPOLD of SAXE Conoutto, will be solem
nixed at Carlton House by the Archbishop of CAN-
TEIIIIURY, on Tuesday evening, the 16th of April next.l
A Bill for the naturalization of Prince LEOPOLD
went through both Houses last night. In compli-
ment to the Panics all the forms were gone through.
in one night. The business occupied only a few
minutes. In a day or two the Royal Assent will be
given to the Bill, and his Senors Hionmass will then
have the honour of becoming a British subject.
The Navy Estimates again occupied the attention
of the Commons. A preliminary point was conceded
by Ministers—that of voting each item separately.—
Mr. Tummy proposed to vote the Estimates fot
months only, and that in the mean time a Committee
should be appointed to ascertain what would be the
fair amount of the charge that ought to be called for;
but his proposal was rejected. The question upon
'the Victualling Contracts for the Duck.yards did not
come on—but the subject of the Admiralty establish-
ment occasioned some discussion. In 1814, thirty.
five Admiralty Clerks were paid £lo,9so—in 1816
the same sum is to be paid to twenty-eight.—
The Navy Office Clerks in 1814 were 186, and re-
ceived £34,000; in 1816 their number is reduced to
1780 and their salaries raised to £39,000. The Navy
Pay Office Clerks were 60 in. 1814, and were paid
£18,470; their number in 1816 is 61, and their sa-
laries £20,200. Victualling Cletks 164, in 1814 re.
ceived £26,520; in 1816, 157 Clerks receive £30,030.
Thus the excess of salaries in 1816, though the num-
ber of Clerks be fewer, is 410,230. Besides the
regular salaries the public has to pay the superannua-
tion of the Clerks who have been removed since 1814,
viz. 24, and the amount of this charge is £5,892.
Among the superannuated clerks is one 24 years of
age.

Such are the fasts before Parliament and it was I
urged, in addition, that these Estimates having been
made before Ministers were outvoted' on the Income
Tax, tbe.Clerks receive, in fact, of efficient salary,'
onotaih more than was even in the contemplation of
Ministers themselves—or, at any rate ens-tevailittli, if
it be allowed that Ministers, at the time the Estimate
was formed, had resolved to demand only a five per
Cent. Tax on Income. In fact, we consider this as
the most solid part of the argument against the pre-
sent amount; for we think it has been w•elbestablished
that the Junior Clerks cobld not maintain themselves
on the salaries they had a few year, ago, and
that they were then in a most wretched' state.—
That the servants of the public should be kept in
a state of naipery cannot be the wish of rational econo•

mists a but, nn the other hand, th• fornme
ing been abolished, so h portion of their
was calculated to enable them to m-et ti
should be reduced. Salaries to princip.ds
entirely p•rformed by Deputies or Assistant
be entirely abolished. " What are you ding

PARIS MARCH 25.

The ascension in a balloon, and the descent in
parachute, of Mademoiselle Garnerin, so often aa.
flounced, and so often deferred, took place yesterday
in the Champ de Mars. The air was cold and the
atmosphere cloudy, and this circumstance induced
belief that the experiment would be put off. At half.
past three, however, Mademoiselle Garneriu entered
la very magnificent car, affixed by a rope twenty feat
long to a parachute, above which was the ballooa,
The whole then rose mdestically in a westerly dies
tion. When about the height cf No° fret, the IA
cut the rope, the parachute unfolded itself, and da
descent took place slowly, and without the least ea*
tussion. Mademoiselle Gas-Elvin alighted near tbs
Barrier of Gras Caillou, and quite close to the River.
The young Lady went through the business wick
great sang froid, and received the testimoaies of satis.
faction of the numerous spectators assembled. A
great number of gentlemen on horseback preceded the
young aeronaut on her return to Paris, and among tbs
company was the Duke of Wellirgton.

The ship in which the Duke of Holstein (ci-drvilt
King of Sweden) arrived at Ancona, carried tat
white flag. It w*s under 1:.:s fl e 7 that die Printe
wisher; to enter tke Holy Lind ; aildhe w:isfuri.ished
with passports by Louis XVIII. when at Ghent.
General Debelle, presinus to the Judges. retiring
to deliberate on his case, addressed Ilion in a neat
speech. in which he pleaded guilty to the charo
against him. He concluded by thrnwiag nu
the clemency c f the K ng, and exclaimed Yise
Roi ! When his sentence oats read, his aver, who
v:as in Court, uttered the most doleful cries and
fainted.
