FRENCH PAPERS.

The Pais Papers to the 24th instant have arrived
since our last, but their contents are of little im-
portance. The termination of the political d.sputes
in Wirtemberg has been again interrupted. Prince
PAUL Of WIRTESIIIIIIG, the KING'S brother, has
thought proper to address a letter to the Privy Coun-
cil of the KING, in which, as heir presumptive to the
throne, he protests against all innovation upon the
ancient constitution of the kingdom, bot at the same
time dichires, that if the Assembly of the States
shall lawfully adopt the proposed reforms, he shall
consider himself in duty bound, notwithstanding any
contrary opinion he may hold, to accede to them.
In Answer to this letter, the Privy Counsellors have
protested most solemnly against any interference on
the part of the Prince, or other Members of the
Royal Family, in the existing negociatious between
the Clown and the Representatives of the People.—•
And it would seem as if his Majesty had followed up
this protest, by some sort of corresponding hint to
the Prince, for we ob►erve by a notice in one of the
Paris Journals, that Prince PAUL of WIRTILWISIAG
with his family is immediately to take up his residence
in Paris, having taken a lease for three years of the
'hotel of Marshal DAvousi."

The Duke of Wittutinton h expected at Paris on
the 4th of June to assist at the celeration of our
KING'S Birth Day, for which great preparations are
making at the Hotel of the English Embassy.

Mr. ASHLEY'S benefit at Covent-Garden Theatre,
on Saturday night was splendidly attended. The
boxes were crowded with beauty and fashion. A
more brilliant display has been seldom witnessed.—
The rich appearance of the house was a just compli-
ment to his merits.

We are desired to state, that Mr. Mooee's Poem
of Lea Roolh, an Oriental Romance, was published
this day, by Mews. LONGMAN and Co. Also, Illus-
trations to the Poem, engraved by Cis.taLss kEATM,

' The Publication of the Official List of Prises and
Blanks by • the Commissioners has been much re-
tarded, in consequence of the very onnswil Propnr-
Lion of Prises which Mr. Si yawfuctirr, the Contractor,
introduced into his Scheme. But however the Per-
sons employed in printing the List may complain of
the extra trouble imposed upon them, it is to be hoped
that all future Schemes will be framed epee she lame
Oriacie* for one so really advantageous for the Public
