A Petition from the University of Oxford against

ber of the Legislature his Lordship is in favour of
these claims.
Mr. LAMBTON presented to the Commons a Peti-
tion frOm.General GOURGAVD, who, our Readers will

retollect, was some time ago sent out of the kingdom

ment which, he says, he received on that occasion.
The Petition was ordered to be printed. .

Bill for the purpose of making some alterations in
the constitution of that Borough to prevent a recur-
rence of such practices.

The Paris Papers of Wednesday arrived Jiis morn-

took place on Tuesday, at mid-day, in the Gallery of,
Diana. The KING was.sseated on a throne, with the
Princes of the Royal Family and of the Blood on each
side; the Ministers and Grand Officers of the House.;
hold surrounded the foot of the throne; the Diplo-
isatic Corps occupied benches to the right; and the
Ladies of the Court, to the number of more than two
hundred, all richly dressed, and shining with precious
stones, were ranged along the two sides of the Gal-
lery. The AsraAssAnon, being introduced by the
Masters of the Ceremonies, his Excellency addressed
the KING in Persian, felicitating him, in the name of
his Master, and giving renewed assurances of his af-
fection and sincere wishes for the dyna. ty of Bourbon.
The KING replied in a few words, expressive of his
satisfaction at this testimony of friendship from the
Emperor of PERSIA. The Ambassador then deli.
vexed the letter of his Master, which the KING handed
to the Marquis DEssoLte, Minister of Foreign Af-
'fairs ; and concluded with presenting to his MA-
JESTY some rich presents, among which were a cymi-
tar that belonged to lssrALL, one of the bravest Sove-
reigns of Persia, a number of Cachemire shawls, and
a precious stone to which the Persians ascribe certain
extraordinary -medicinal virtues. His Excellency
then bowed and retired. In the evening he. dined,
as formerly announced, with the Master of the House-
hold, and a numerous company of persons of the first
distinction.

The Chamber of Peers had a Public Sitting on
Tuesday. Marshal the Duke de CORECLIANO, one
of the new Peers, took the oaths and his seal-. Count

sented his titles, which were examined by a Coron.is-
lion and approved of.'
The Mrsisrta of FMINCE then presented to the
Chamber the Project of Law adopted by the Cham-
ber of Deputies for opening Auxiliary Books in all
the Departments to the Grand Book of the Public
Debt. • The Chamber ordered it to be printed, and
eiamined in the Bureaus. A Member, the llarquis
de MARI:cm, made a proposition for an address to
his MAJL;TY, supplicating him to introduce a law
for the substitution of some other sort of pankhrnent
in place of transportation, the application of which is
become inapplicable, from the want of a place to
which to transport the condemned. The Chamber
resolved that the proposition should be taken into
consideration. •
