The Paris Papers of Tuesday arrived last night,
but their contents are of less interest than might have

been anticipated, at a moment of such sharp political
contention.—Several of the new Peers were presented
to the King on Monday ; among others, Counts DE-
JEAN, DAntY, G REF SULIIE: and DE SCSSY. It was ex-
pected that the greater number of them would rake
their seats in the House on Wednesday.
The Committee ot the Chamber of Deputies charged
with the examination of the project of the law upon

tobacco, have rejected the monopoly by a majority
of five•to four. M. FORNIEIt Di SAINT LARY is ap •
pointed to bring up the Report, in which will be
pointed out the means of substituting an equivalent in
taxes for• the actual, produce of the present impost.
Several Petitions have been presented to the Cham-
ber of Deputies, signed by great numbers of the inha-
bitants of Nantes, Brest,and other towns in Bretagne,

against antaltetation in the Law of Elections.
The Journals have announced, says the Monitcur,
that a Project will be immediately presented relative
to the National Gland, and many different solutions
have been given of the difficulties in the way of such
a law; but, as it often happens, the solutions vary,
according to the opinions of those who consider the
problem. Thus, for the nominations: some wish that
we shou4l return to the law of October 14, 1791, and
that the National Guards should directly elect their
06cers; others wish that the Electors should limit
the range of their choice among those whom the King
should deem eligible; on the other hand, some demand
the maintenance of the pure and simple Legislative
Act, dated Sept. 24, 1805, which gives to the King
the nomination of the Officers without any restriction.
There is a fourth opinion, which would induce the
persuasion that the Kixo, as the Supreme Chief of '
the public force, ought to choose the Officers of the
National Guatd. from among those who pay the
highest taxes ; and, according to the scale of these
taxes, whose degrees should be proportional to the
importance of the rank. This idea they found upon
the English Act of Parliament relative to the Local
Militia. Some persons, in short, think that a law
upon the National Guard is subordinate to the prin-
ciples which enter into the law on civil administra-
tion, and that Cie nomination of Officers of a Muni-
nipal Guard can and ought to follow the same rules
ac the nomination of Mayors. These questions, and
many others of high importance, will doubtless find
a solution conformable to the principles of legitimate
and constitutional) Monarchy in the Project of Law,'
which the Council. of National Guards is engaged
in preparing, and which will shortly be submitted to
the KING. Bat, urktil that makes its appearance, every
thing which may be reported on the subject ought
only to be considered as the expression of individual

opinions.
The Society of Cartmna, i, which thb Austrian Po-
lice has discovered in the Venetian territory, held, for
some years back, secret meetings; its central point
was in the village of Fratt, in the Canton of Rovigo,
at the house of an old French General, named AR..
NAVD, and It the house of his son-in-law; MoNri.—
Both these have been arrested, as well as the Vene-
tian Count PIERRE CICOGNARA.

The Paris Papers of Wednesday have also arrived
at a late hour this forenoon.
The Chamber of Peers had a Public sitting on
Tuesday; when the 'PRESIDENT laid before the As-
sembly the lett,ers of nomination and other docu-
ments which had been transmitted to him by thirty-
nine of the new Pcess created by the !loyal Ordi-
nance of the 6th instant, for the purpose of obtaining
their admission. A special Committee was named
by ballot to verify the letters of nomination, and the
age of the nominees, consisting of Count DEo•IZE,
Count :Mtn, and the Marquis de CLenssimer GAL-
L2RANDE. The Committee proceeded forthwith to
the examination, and reported that they found the
acts submitted to their verification perfectly satisfac-
tory. The reception of the new Peers, whose powers
have thus been verified, would consequentlf take
place at the next sitting, on saturday, to which day
