FRENCH PAPERS.

PARIS, DECEMBER 6.
His Majesty's gouty complaints are graduallL
wearing away, and they have not prevented him from
regularly transacting business with his Ministers.
There has been no public meeting of the Chamber
of Deputies either yesterday or today; but to-mor-
row (Saturday) the Ministers will bring forward their
proposition on the Liberty of the Press.
A letter from Copenhagen of the 19th says—
Tke eclipse of the sun which took place to-day was
very visible. About ten minutes past ten in the
morning, there was so much obscurity for two minutes,
that one could neither read nor write."
The society' of Knights liberators of white slaves in'
Africa held their sixth meeting on the 29th Novem- ,
ber. On this occasion Sir Sidney Smith exhibited the,
aqui :erre:triol isruktterible canoe of raft 1 destined to
be taken to pieces, and carried over land in .order to'
navigate the lakes and rapid rivers of the interior of
Africa!!
General Count deWoronzoff, Commander in Chief
of the Russian Contingent is France, who has been
some days at Paris, accompanied by his father, set
out yesterday for his head-quarters, at Maubeuge.—
It is thought he will return to Paris before the end
of the month.
The health of his Majesty is in a satisfactory state.
His Majesty transacted business the greater part of
yesterday.
There was no public Sitting of the Chamber of
Deputies yesterday. The ministerial communication
respecting individual liberty and the liberty of the
press, will be made to-morrow.
The Committee on the Budget is divided into
three sections of six Members each, to examine the
differing parts of the projet.
Private letters mention that there had been much
murmuring amongst the Turkish soldiers at Constan-
tinople, on account of a diminution in their pay ; but
the Government put an end ao the revolt by granting
the soldiers their demands, and inducing them to kill
the chiefs who had led them into insubordination.

The alarm about scarcity has considerably abated,
not only in London but in several parts of the Con-
tinent. The price of Wbeat fell yesterday ss. per
quarter, as noted in our Mark-lane Report : on the
preceding Monday it fell 2s. and on the Monday be-
fore that it hid also lowered 2s. making a total de-
pression of 9s. per quarter.
By extracts which we have given in the preceding
columns from German Papers received last night, it
will be seen that at Munich a considerable tall has
taken place in the mat ket there : and indeed all the
late accounts serve to thew that a considerable part

of the excessive price mast have been produced by
commercial speculation, taking advantage of the,
general alarm.
We have more than once stated, that the failure of
the late harvest was not in quantity so much as in
quality. We repeat the fact, and we are borne out
in our statement by general accounts from all the
Counties : the harvest was at least a general average
crop, but owing to the great falls of rain, and, we
must add, owing, in many instances, to the inex-
cusable indolence of the Farmers themselves, a part
of the crop was not stored in the best condition. In
fact, much corn was damaged before it was cut, some
by, want of dry weather to winnow the sheafs, and
some by being housed too wet, from an anxiety to
.save it ; and the result has been, that there is now
in store a large quantity of what is called

. . .

Onr Readers will see with Much sa!is:a. fr.,11
the Advertisement of the Committee, that publiz
continue to contribute liberally for the TAO of t„.
patient but exceedingly distressed populati.in of
Field..—The labours of the Committee are inc,
and by their exertions and the liberal aid that h.. 4,3:1
afforded, many individuals have already been psi..
vented from sinking under their distress.—Aluniv,
Paper has suggested, and we think the idea A good
one, that cheap editions of Mr. lluxrns's Spercii
should be distributed among servant. as a meaus of
checking waste, and of rendering them mcie stn.
sible of the comforts they enjoy, by contrasting eir
own condition with the wretched conuitiou of tkeir
poorer brethren. Great is the benefit that will testa
to humanity from the exertions of this Committee;
but important as the present relief may be it wilt be
found but a small part of the good that will result
ultimately to the community from the improvement
in morals which must follow the kind attentions of
the benevolent to the sufferings of the destitute.

A Dutch Mail arrived to-day.—The Brussels Pa•
pens contain intelligence from the North of France,
which, if perfectly well founded, is not calculated
tranquillize the minds of th're who are -alarmed la
the continuance of the repose (.1 Eurore. According
to these accounts, the N.,rthern French Deita:nte:,:t
teem with malcontents, ready, on the slightest a;
penances of probable success, to throw ter cc.v.ntry
once mere into a state of anarchy and cult:sin-.
These perturbed spirits are unhappily kept in motiol
and encouraged by the expatriated French who hare
taken up their residence in Belgium, many of when
are extremely rich, and but too well dispolep to lavisl
their ill gotten wealth on almost any other object
than those of benevolence or real charity.

Just as this Paper was going to press, we receive
the Paris Journals of SaturJay last. They cnntat
but little intelligence of importance. A new inst:
recti'•n has broken out among the Janissaries at CAI

stantinople.
The expected article on the Liberty of the P.
does not appear iu these papers, being ptiateil
before the Sitting of the Chambers.

COMMON COUNCIL ASSC:4BLED.
is May i• please your Royal Highness, We, his Majest'a most
'steal and loyal subjects, the lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Corn.
sans of the City of ',notion, in Common Council assembled,
imply approach your Royal Highness, to represent our national
Partings and grievances and respectfully to suggest the adop-
kis of measures whicli we conceive to be indisputably necessary
firth wfety, the quiet, and the prosperity of the realm.
6 We f“rbrar to enter into details of the afflicting scenes of
pinions and sufferings that every wh,re exist. The distress
64 misery which has been for so many years progressively actu-
al:l4lg has at leligth become insupportable—it is do longer par-
I* felt, nor firm ed to out portion of the Empire the cont.
setcial, the manufac orlon and the agricultural interests, are
y sinking under its rresistilile pressure, and it has become
table to Ead employment fur a large mass of the popula-
• much less to bear up against our present enormous burdens.
6We beg to impreis upon our Royal Highness, that our pr;.
Iggciesplicated evils have not arisen irons a mere tratistion front
era to per, nor from arty sudden or accidental causes, neither
sestuyberesnoved by saty partial or temporary itspedi:nts.
" Our grievances are the natural effect of rash and ruinous
van, iinjestly commenced. and pertinaciously persists I its, when
nentitralobjfct was to be obtained—of immense subsidies to
FortirPowers to defend their own territories, or to commit
twasions on those of their neighbours—of a delusive paper
tirtoty—of an unconstitutional and unprece.lented military
fixte in time of peace—ot the unexampled and increasing magni-
rsieuf the Civil List—of the enormous sums paid fur unmerited
patios. and sinezures, and of a long course of the must lavish
01 improvident expenditure of the public money throu,;Siout
evry branch of the Goverment, all arising from the corrupt
attliCadequate state of the representation of the People in Pat-ha-
le; witereby all constitutional contioul over the• servants of
Crown has been lost, acid Pa:Laments have become subset..

vim to the will of Minist-rs.
• • We cannot forbear expressing our grief and disappointment,
tit, notwithstanding your Royal Highness's gracious recommen-
' of economy at the opening of the last 5C5910119 of Farha-
t, your Ministers should have been found opposing every
ition for levelling the tuitional expenditure, and that they

Anus to those facts so often stated, and offered to be proved

' We can, Sir, no longer support, out of our dilapidated re-
cc, an overwhelming load of taxation; and we humbly sub-
fetoyour Royal H.ghness, that nothing but a retormation of
tille abuses and restoring to the people their just and constitu
tail right in the Election of Members of Parliament, can af. I
a sectitity against their recurrence—calm the apprehensions
dt6rpeo2le-f-allay their irritated feelings—and prevent those i
edam's in which the nation must inevitably be involved by
ildistinve and infatuated adherence to the present system of
totiptinit a!il extravagance.
Wetherefere humbly pray your Royal Highness to assemble
bliamret as early as iim.sible, and that you will be graciously,
kid to recommend to their immediate consideration these
illoltant matters, and the adoption of measures for abolishing
aliwien places, pensions, and sinecures—for the reduction of
prriett enotnaues unitary establishment—for making every
larsicable reduction in the public expenditure, and restoring to
41Proplit t'.eir just share and weight in the Legidiature."
To which Address and Petition his Royal High-
cm was graciously pleased to return the following
e' is with strong feelings of surprise and regret that I receive

'ins of the City of London, in Common Council as•

Ili% 61;Ply as I deplore the preyalling distress and difficulties of
.„,,th'ITY. I derive comolation from the persurnon that the
l. body of his Majesty's subjects, notwithstanding the vent-
°"allorpts wls;th have been made to irritate and niii!ead them,
"Zoill tonvinctd that the severe trials which they sustain with
~."mPlary patience and tint:toile are chiefly to be nttributed
L744,01,:•b1e causes; and I contemplate with the most cordial
76411Q40: the efforts of that tittig.itetied benevolence which is
6tllll'y and laudably exerting itself throughout the kingdom.
a- I shill resort with the utmost confidence to the tried wise
7, of Parliament at the One which, upon the fullest corside-
:7!e I base thought most advisable under the piesent sitcom-
,,7 0 the country; and I entertain a perfect conviction, that
L74lluil temperate adminietration of the Government, assisted
.:41,10ntd by the good sense, public spirit, and loyalty of the
.",11, will effectually counteract those proceedings which, from
:!t'ier motives they may originate, are calculated to render
°lrlrY difficulties the means of producing permanent and ir-
