PARIS MARCH 26.

The Chamber of Peers assembled on Tuesday
when on the discussion of the Resclution passed by
the Chamber of Deputies, for granting further time
to the Emigrants for the payment of their debts, an
amendment was moved and carried for prolonging
the period till the Ist January, 18'20, and the Reso-
lution was sent back to the Chamber of Deputies for
their concurrence in the amendment.

In the Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday, the Baron
de Saint Cricq, the Reporter of the Committee on
the Customs Projet, was heard at considerable length ;
after which, speeches were also delivered by the-Mi-
nister of Finance and M. Morgan de Belloy. The
Committee then proceeded to deliberate upon the
Articles of the Projet. A long discussion took place
upon the first Article, two Amendments having been
moved ; one by M. Dnvergier de Hauranne, for re-
ducing the duty on Cotton Yarn one-half; and the
other by M. Laisne de la Villeveque, for repealing
the duty on Cotton Yarn imported into France from
parts out of Europe in French ships. The Chamber
ultimately decided against both Amendments. On
Wednesday they got through thirty Articles cf. the
Projet. On that day also, the Baron Dufougerais re-
ported from the Committee on the Projet for the Abo—
lition of the Slave Trade. The Committee proposed
the full and entire adoption of the Projet, with two
slight amendments. The discussion on it was ap-
pointed to commence after disposing of the Customs
Projet, which it was supposed would be on Friday last.
1 esterday his Majesty held a Cabinet Council at

According to intelligence received at Marseilles, the

giers, it is certain that the Dey of that Regency had
died of the plague, on the Ist instant; since which

The Dey was succeeded by one of his Ministers.
The Seine has again risen since yesterday about a
foot.—The shocks of earthquakes which were felt
along the Alps, in the South• of France, and on the
Genoese coast, were much more violent in the envi-
rons of mount Etna, in Sicily. An earthquake took
place on the 20th February, at Catania, by which the
walls of the greater part of the houses in the town
were cracked, other houses in the villages in the
neighbourhood of Mount Etna were thrown down,,
and seventy persons were killed. The greater part
of the Cathedral and the Seminary were by subse-
quent earthquakes reduced to a heap of ruins, and
several ecclesiastics were killed.

After Mass, yesterday, the King received the Swe-
dish Envoy, t d'Osson.
The Princes hunted yesterday at Saint Germain,

Several fires have lately occurred at the barracks

ROME, MARCH 7.

Mr. A'Court, the British Minister to the Court of
Naples, has, on his way through Rome, presented to
his Holiness the Pope a Letter from the Prince Re-
gent. Although the contents are of little importance
the letter will become remarkable in history, from its
being the fist which for some centuries has been ad-
dressed by the sovereign of England direct to the Pope.
