FRENCH PAPERS.

The Paris Papers of Fliday and Saturday last have
arrived.

The subscription for the Loan of 14,000,000 francs
of Rentes, which was opened on the 9th ult. closed
on the 27th ; when it was found that the sums sub-
scribed amounted to 2,210,300,000 francs—being a

sum adequate to a Loan of 163,000,000 of Retries,
instead of the 14,000,000 required.—lt is impossible,
say the French Journals, that the public confidence
could manifest itself in a more striking manner;
and equally so, it might have been added, to contrast,
without some degree of indignation, this vast over-
flow of capital in France with those beggarly repre-
sentations, on which Britain and the other Allied
Powers have so recently been induced to forego more
than one half of their just demands upon her. A
further rise in the Funds has been the natural conse-
quence. On Friday the 5 per cents. had reached
69 francs 15 cents.

A letter from Corfu states, that the CAPTAIN
PACHA had sailed from Constantinople, with a fleet
of seven vessels of the line, and several frigates and
corvettes, on a cruize into the Mediterranean. At
the end of April he was still in the Canal of Scio.

EXECUTIONS FOR FORGERY.

William Babies, who had been for some tinie un-
der sentence of death, for forgery on the Carmarthen
Bank, suffered the awful sentence of the law last Sa-
turday sennight. He had founded sin:llg hopes of
pardon on the success of certain designs for Bank of
England Notes, with which he had occuraA him-
self ever since his conviction, and which, from their
peculiar execution, he considered as beyond imita-
tion. In this, however, he was disappointed ; the in-,
genuity which enabled him to commit the ofience
was insufficient to avert its fatal consequence.
At the Old Bailey, this morning, the following unfor-
tunate persons were also executed for similar offences :
George Chapman, alias Clastonf found pilty at the
last April Sessions, of uttering forged Bank of Eng-
land Notes.

George Davey, found guilty at the same Session!,
of forging an order for die. payment of 1:41.
with intent to defraud Messrs. STEPHENSON and Co.
of Lombard-street, Bankers.

Both Chapman and Davey were young men of vet y
respectable appearance, and conducted themselves'
during the awful ceremony, with great firmness and
crmposure. The Ordinary of Newgate attended them
on the scaffold, and continued in prayer with them
till the drop save way.
The number of persons present was fewer than we
have observed on any similar occasion for many
years past.

The French Colonel LATANY, has arrived at Bris-
ml, after escaping from Bayonne, at the moment
when he was about to be &livered up by the bpanisb
