The Paris Papers of Thursday arrived yesterday.

.In consequence of the recent attempt against the
safety of the Royal Family, extraordinary precau-
tions have been taken to protect, not only the Palace,
but the peace of the City by a strong military guard.
—The night patrol service is now performed by
mounted grenadiers of the Royal Guard, upon whose
fidelity the greatest reliance is placed.
The proceedings in the Chamber of Deputies on
Wednesday were void of interest.
The following is an extract of a letter from Madrid:
" MADRID, APRIL 28.

" There is no longer any talk of the counter-revo-
lution, said to have been planned by the Monks; if
appears that some of them have been arrested. Yes-
terday the full battalions of the 2.1 Regiment of Spa-
nish Guards bad a repast in the field of the Canal.
The greatest part of the inhabitants went to witness
the Fete, which was very brilliant. The bourgeois
mingled with the soldiers ; the King, the Queen, and
the Princes, made their appearance after the repast,
and promenaded on foot amongst the crowd. Never
did this august family receive such lively marks of
public esteem."

The fact of sentence of death having been passed
on Sandi, is confirmed by letters from Frankfort;
but the time of his execution is not yet known. A
person who has an opportunity of seeing Sandt some.
times, asked him how he was ?—" Alas !" he re-
plied, " the thread of my life seems to be formed of
such a tenacious substance, that it cannot be broken,
unless by forcible means." He is, however, still
very weak, and cannot leave his bed.

New York Papers to the 21st of April arrived this
morning.

A very interesting Report from the committep of
Ways and Means in the House of Representativp, is
said to have accompanied the 4ai lately reported, for
- • • • .• • • •• • •

authorising a loan of two millions of dollars. It
presents a view of the state of the Public Revenue for
the year InO ; from which it appears, That the ba,
lance of Incoine at the end of last year, after paying
all expenses, was 767,850 dollars. The Means for
the year 1820, including the last item, are estimated
at 22,.525,685 dollars.

Tha following is an Extract of a Letter from
Washington, dated April 15:

" It is very doubtful whether the Bankrupts' Bill can bit
reached this Session, and if it should, it is more doubtful whe-
ther the house will agree to take it up. The Members are
now locking forward for the Tariff, and I think it probable it
will be acted on in the beginning of next week. A bold attempt
was made yesterday to have it postponed, but failed. If tht
Bill should be acted upon and discussed, it is impossible that
Congress can adjourn before the Ist of May—some think not
until the Bth of May."

Several packages belonging to her Majesty the
QUEEN have been landed at Dover. _ _

When KING GEORGE IV. was Prince of WALES,
the Duke of ORLEANS, father of the present Duke,
during a visit which he made to London, before the
Revolution, lent to the presumptive heir to the throne
of Great Britain, various sums of money, amounting
in the whole to several millions. The present Ili:. e
was not acquainted with,the existence of this debt,
and only learned it, as we are well assured, by the
repayment of it, which has been made by the KING
of ENGLAND, 'V.IIO lost no time in discharging the
debts of the Prince of WALES. A part of these
funds has been employed in paying for the woods
and forests which the Duke of ORLEANS has pur-
chased for five millions.—French Paper.
