The French Mails to the number of four are still
due. We have received,- however, Paris Papers of
Saturday the 9th, and Private Letters of the same
date.' The first trial of strength had taken place in
-the ber of Deputies between the .Ministerial
party and the Opposition z the former party.recioni
upon something like 119 to 77. On the whole, there'
is an appearance of the prelielli being a bosang Ses.
lion; and if matters are not carried to such extremes..
as to proJuce another dissolution of the Chambers;
the result of the discussions will infallibly lead to the
improvement of the public mind generally through-
out France.

It is this day reported on 'Change, that Govern-
ment have determined upon making a reduction on
the interest of Exchequer Bills, and that fr4n :And
atter the 21st of this month, no more than 3d. per
day will be allowed, hatted of std. at present .paida:
and that a Meeting of Bankers, Merchants, and
prolt.rs will shortly take place, to take the lame into
consideration, and make the communication to their
country connection. This rumour, however, can
hardly he collect. We suspect, that no change of
this kind, if contemplated, can take place till Par-
liament shall have first met. •

The Meeting of yesterday passed over with much
le.s mischief than was at first expected. On the
ground the people conducted themselves with great
tranquillity, in spite of some very injudicious decla-
mations which were addressed to them, and they dis-
persed without the slightest attempt at riot; but, as
is always to be apprehended, when great crowds of
idle people. are unnecessarily collected, some of the
more turbulent, inflamed perhaps by the indiscreet
ll.nguagie that had been addressed to them, and em.
bolderied by their numbers to acts which individually
they would not have, hazarded, broke the windows
of some bakers' shops, &c. as they passed along the
streets: but by nine o'clock, by the activity of the
peace officers in every quarter, all was perfectly quiet.
The result of this Meeting gives strong evidence
of the prevailing good sense of Englishmen ; for ir
any thing could have provoked the unguarded and
unsuspecting to acts of violtnee, some of the language
addressed to 'them was calculated to produce thit
effect. But in spite of the halo of false eloquence
and coarse declamation of gr. HUNT, some things.
