The Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday have
arrived since our last.

The KING gave on Thursday a private audienct to
Count CA PO d'IsTRIA and the Robs! A N AMEASSAPQR,
which lasted nearly an hour.
The Chamber of Peers adopted on Thursday the
Project of Law respecting the Importation of Grain.
Count MOLIEN made a Report from the Commission
charged with the examination of the Project of Law
on the Ways and Means. The discussion on this Pro-
ject was to commence on. Friday.
Several prosecutions were instituted some time
sipce against periodical publications for libellous re-
flection, on the Swils ti-oops in the pay of France.—
The trials have taken place by Jury, and all the ac-
cused are acquitted. The result is a party triumph.
We believe the Ministers were mot anxious to convict.
The KEEPER of the SEALS rather discountenanced
the affair at the first ; but it was taken up as a State
prosecution by the Attorney-General and Judges,
who, strange as it may seem, are in the Ultra Oppo-
sition, and openly thwart the measures of Ministers.
We are happy to find, by a letter from Corfu, con-
tained in these Papers, that it is not true, as at first
confidently reported, that Au PACUA had been al-
lowed to take possession of Parga without previously
paying the indemnity-money agreed to be given to the
unfortunate Parganites. General MAITLAND issued
a Proclamation on the ith June, in which his Excel-
lency nominates certain individuals to be Commis-
missioners •`for regulating the definitive distribution
of the sum of 633,000 piastres, which his Excellency
has received from the Vizir Ala PAcHA, and which
are sot. ix the gexeral Treasury, for indemnities due
to the inhabitants of the town and district of Parga
for their effects, which were valued separately before
their emigration and arrival at these States," (the
lonian Isles.) _ _

His Excellency reserves in this Proclamation power
to the Pacha to introduce, if he. shall think proper,
a Deputy on his part into the said Commission. The
Parganites are' much dissatisfied with this reserva-
tion, conceivingi that a Deputy from the Pacha, will
be in the situation of both party: and judge.
On the same day with this Proclamation, General
MAITLAND issuedanother, appointing Major-General
Sir FREDERICK ADAM to fill, per interim, during his
absence in Italy, the functions of Lord High Commis-
sioner. His Excellency embarked next day on board
the GANYMEDE, and set sail for Ancona. He is said to
be going to ltome, for the purpose of concluding a
sort of Concordat with the Pore, relative to the La-
tin Clergy of the lonian Islands; a negotiation in
which the Earl of GUILDFORD, who had previously
beeri entrusted wirh it by the PRINCE REGENT, would
seem to have failed.

The last accounts from Madrid state, that not a
word is yet said of FERDINAND'S marriage—that he i
has given orders (for at least the hundredth time)
for the dispatch of the Cadiz Armada—that articles
of impeachment have been framed against M. Fawn,
the late Minister of War—and that M. CEVALLOS is_
once more, for the seventh time, returning to the
helm of State. The Kano was to set out on the Sd
July for the waters of Sacedon, where he will remain
the 27th. The only Member of the Ministry he, in-
tended taking along with him was M. SALMON, who
has the temporary charge of the department of Fo-
reign Affairs.
The Emperor of Morocco, MULCT Sox nu Ax, lately
assembled a corps of troops behind the river Sebon,
for the purpose of compelling the revolted inhabi-
tants of the mountains of Todla to pay tribute. The
troops had scarcely assembled, when those moun-
taineers, who are called Berberes surprised the Em-
rxacat's camp at night. The Black Guard of that
Piiuce was almost entirely. destroyed ; his treasures,
valued at 400 quintals of silver, twelve of his women,
his private tent, and his baggage, remained in the
hands of the rebels. The PAcHA, Governor of Tan-
giers, died of his wounds; and Munm Irranurm, the
EMPEROR'S eldest son, was wounded in the head.
That young Prince, it is said, escaped to Fez, through
the exertions of some Moors who protected his flight.
For ten days, the EMPEROR himself was supposed to
be killed; he found his way, however, in disguise to
Mesquinez, escorted by a single Moor, who was with.
' the rebels, and who, having been the first to enter his
Sovereign's tent, Informed him of his peril, and pro-
cured him the means of regaining capital amidst
the greatest dangers.

The following article from 'run contradicts,: in-
dignantly, the report of Cuba having been ceded to
this country :

'RUN, JULY 3.
All that has been published in England and in the
United States of America, respecting the cession of
the Isle of Cuba to the English, must be placed among
those thousand and one impostures which people take
a pleasure in circulating, though we cannot well tell
for what reason. This false news being circulated in
Spain had produced a very disagreeable feeling in
all classes ofsociety. The Government has not judged
it compatible with its dignity directly to contradict
the report, but the new Ministers have declared, upon
several occasions, that they never had the intention
of ceding so rich and flourishing a colony, the inha-
bitants of which have always shewn the most lauda-
ble fidelity to the Mother Country under the most
trying circumstances. We may therefore now assert,
that all that bas been said on this subject is but an
absurd and ridiculous fable.

Several small moveahle columns of troops are now
traversing Estremadura to clear it of the numerous
bands of robbers which havefor some time infested it.
In a smart action which took place a few days ago,
several were killed, and others who attempted to
enter the frontiers of Portugal perished in the Ta-
gus. Among the latter is said to be an Er-Monk
who was one of the officers of the band.

Yesterday Divine Service was performed at Carl-
ton
House by the Rev. K W. BLOMBERG and the Rev.
Dr. STANIER CLARKE.
Yesterday the Duke of YoRK and Prince LEOPOLD,
accompanied by Colonel A DDENBROOILE, attended Di-
vine Service at the Chapel Royal, St. James's Palace.
Yesterday the Duchess of YORK attended Divine
Service at Whitehall Chapel.
Yesterday afternoon Princess AUGUSTA, attended
by Miss DISBROWE, arrived at the Queen's Palace,
from Windsor.
Carlton House was thronged on Friday and Satur-
day with Nobility and the Persons of Di,unction who
had the honour of being present at the Fete given by
the PRINCE REGENT on Thursday night, making their
dutiful inquiries after his Royal Highness's health.
The PERSIAN AMBASSADOR had not long arrived
at Carlton House on the evening of the Fancy Ball,
when the Duke of MONTROSS was sent to him on
the part of his Royal Highness the PRINCE'REGENT,
requesting his attendance in a separate room, when
his Royal Highness presented his Excellency with
his Royal Highness's Portrait, most richly set in dia-
monds, which he placed with his own hands mum'
the Ambassador's neck, suspended by a dark blue
riband. This splendid and interesting token of his
Royal Highness s esteem and favour appeared highly
to gratify the Ambassador, who sets a high value the
distinguished honour which was paid him.
In a few days the PRINCE REGENT will go to Brigh-
ton. Sir EDMUND NAGLE, Naval Aid-de-Camp to the
PRINCE REGENT, has received his instructions to pre-
pare for sailing on the 2d of August, on which day
'his Royal Highness and anumerous suite will embark
on board the yacht, of Brighton, and proceed along
the coast to Plymouth. After inspecting the Break,
water, and other public works, the destination of the
Royal yacht and her convoy will be the Isle of Wight,
there to join the squadron of vessels ordered to ren-
dezvous off that station. In this quarter it is intended
to determine the matches fur the sailing of the yachts.
The Royal Party will aftewards proceed to Ports-
mouth, Southampton, &c.
Saturday Prince LEOPOLD gave a grand entertain-
ment at Marlborough House to the Persian Ambas
sador. Every thing was served up with the same
magnificent splendor and in the same suite of rooms
as when the REGENT honoured the PRINCE with his
company to dinner.
'the nomination of a Member for the vacancy in
the Representation of the County of Wilts, took place
on Friday. It was declared, on a chew of hands, to
have fallen on Mr. ASTLEY. The friends of Mr.
BENET demanded a poll, which was to commence
to-day. Mr. H. HUNT was present, and addressed
the Meeting in a speech remarkably free from his
usual topics, in favour of the popular Candidate,
Mr. ASTLEY.

The Hungarian Count BELLESNAY, who last year
committed the horrible crime of parricide, was be-
headed at six o'clock is, the morning of the 21st June.
Extract of a letter from an Officer of the '2oth
Foot dated St. Helena, April II r« We sailed from
Cove on the 27th January with a fair wind. We an-
chored off St. Helena on the 6th April, and disem-
barked on the Bth. I am afaaid that I have little
chance of ever seeing BONAPARTE, as he very seldom
stirs out, and it is against orders to go near Long-
wood, where he is. When he goes abroad, he is al-
ways accompanied by a Captain, who gets a guinea
a day ; and, if he should happen to be absent when
he. calls for him, he makes sad complaints to the Go-
vernor, who is very much liked on the island. Every
thing is very dear here ; you cannot get a common
horse under £l5O, and every thing else is in propor-
tion. The Governor is not near so grimes you im-
agine. If you have on your cap and sash. it is quite
sufficient. We (the 20th) have established a good
character already. Invitations coming every day
but it rains so much on this mountain that it is im-
possible to walk a quarter of a mile. Our pay is
very liberal ; an Ensign gets 12s. a day, £5O lodging
money, rations, and cloth for two coats. There is a
Government store, where we can get every thing to
buy fora lot of cash."
CONVENTION OP -SCOTCH ROYAL. BURGHS.—On
Tuesday last a general convention took •place in the
aisle of the High Church, Edinburgh, of Commissio-
ners from the Royal Burglis of Scotland. Several
proceeilings, connected with local interest took place,
and on the motion ofProvost Bowies, seconded by the
Provost of ANNAN, and warmly supported by the
Lotto Peovorr of Glasgow, it was unanimously re-
solved to abolish the Burgess oath throughout all the
Royal burghs. Notice was given of a motion for an
plication to Parliament, in favour ot a general reform
in the Scotch Burghs.
