FRENCH PAPERS.

PARIS, MARCH 20.
The day on which the Chamber of Deputies it to
re-assemble is not yet fixed. We art assured that
this Sitting, which probably will be the last of the
Session, will not take piece until after the Budget is
voted in the Elouse of Peers; and that it will be
merely occupied by a Report on the remaining Peti-
tions presented during the Session.
It is said that the new Elections, the period for
which is not yet fixed, will take place at tour diffe-
rent times ; that is to say, the 16 Departments which
Are to return Deputies for 1817 will be classed in
four divisions, and will meet for the purpose of elect-
ing their Deputies one after the other. It is believed
that the departments of the Seine and the Oise will
form part of the first division.
The 10th of May next is fixed for the removal of
the mortal remains of hlatlame Elisabeth, who was
assassinated on that day in 1791. by the Revolu-
tionary Tribunal, and deposited in a piece of ground
belonging to the house called the Maim du Chrirt, at
the Barriere de Mousseau.
The Grand Duke Nicholas of Russia arrived on
the 12t1i at Lisle, where his Imperial Highness was
received with civil and military honours, and visited
the citadel. His Imperial Highness proceeded the
same day on his journey to Maubeuge: he was ac.'
companied by Count Lauriston, Peer of France,
Lieutenant-General commanding a division of the
Royal Guard, whom the King sent to Calais to re-
ceive his Imperial Highness.
Letters from Marseilles state, that Prince F,rdi-
nand Frederick Augustus, brother of the late King
of Wurtemberg, who visited that City last month in
the strictest incognito, under the name of Augustus
Von Hochberg. a German Loaded Gentleman, which
he afterwards changed to Ftederick Rosner, was
going to resume his route instintly for Nice. The
Prince expected his wife there. His departure appears
to have been occasioned by intelligence brought him
by a courier. He has hired a house at Nice, which
he is to occupy on his arrival, and which he intends
to inhabit until the month of May next.
The Russian Minister of Police has arrived at Paris.
PARIS, MARCH 22.
_Yesterday the anniversary of the death of the un-
fortunate Duke D'Enghien WAS celebrated iR the
Chapel of the Chateau of Vincennes. The body of
the Prince is still deposited in the same hall where
he acts condemned to death ; anJ that port of the
foss from which it was ochurned has been enclosed
and planted with evcrgreens.
More than twenty Members of the Chamber of
Peers have inscribed their names to sprAk on the
Budget.
011 the 11th instant, at 24 minutes past nine
o'clock, an earthquake of some violence was felt at
Lausanne. It continued for the space of about a
minute. It appears to have also extended to Berne,
Neufchatel, and'Geneva. Alariut 24 hours before,
several persons were struck with a remarkable sort of
subterranean detonation.

From the 11th to the 14h of this month, fourteen
ships laden with grain arrived at Dunkirk.
The monotony which has so long distinguished the
iDiet at Frankfort, is beginning at last to be inter
ruined by some rather embarrassing discussions. As
long as the powers of the Diet did not lead to any
lactual encroachment on the existing state of things,
nobody cared to question their extent ; but now that
territorial cessions and exchanges, suppressions of
sovereign authority, Ste. are threatened, nobody will
allow them, to have any power whatever. A vaca-
tion of the Diet is to take place at Easter, which will
give the Members an opportunity of visiting their
respective Courts, from which it is to be hoped they
will return with posers so ample and distinct as to
obviate any difficulty on the important matters en-
trusted to their deierminatioo.

" Haft No resolved to view (during a few months) t►e opera-
tions going on in South Amnia, wW glee to any private gentle-
man, or to any gentleman immediately interested in the com-
merce or mercantile coneerns of that country, the most ample
security for the LOAN of ‘lo,uoo, to be repaid with interest
widtin in months. The pasty may, during Lord Cochrane's
absence, have the use of his house named Holiyhill, which is die
most beautifully situate on the Southampton river, together with
the lawn, and garden full of fruit-trees of various kinds, and of
excellent qualities: the salt water tor bathing, at the bottom of
the Nem, h perhaps the purest in the South of England. Lord
Cochrane will. besides, absolutely dispose of a contiguous pro.
petty, It for the residence of a gentleman's family, having nearly
similar advantages."

We have no doubt whatever• but Lord COCHILINI
Will meet with the accommodation he wants in less
than forty-eight hoofs. He will, in South America,
find 4 precursor—Sir Gagnon Vfteuon, whose ad-
vice and co-operation, in whatever speculation he may
embark in, may prove useful to his Lordship.—Have
the Independents yet appointed an Admiral-inChiet ?
Where could they find such another as Lord Co-
CUBANS He goes to a fine field.

We learn that Mr. Vnuctisn, who has recently
arrived from Spain, was .dispatched by Sir Hmay
Wsurscsit, to repe4t to Ministers the urgent solici.
utioas of the Court of Madrid for msistance from
this country, in the contest with the revolted colonies.
The application, we are happy to say, has met with
a decisive refusal.

A letter received yesterday, dated Sierra Leone,
Feb. 6, flays r•-.." There is on the Western Coast of
this Continent, a schooner under Carthagenian co-
lours. She has lately pluudered a brig belonging to
this Coloiy of part of her *ergo. amounting to value
