The Paris Papers of Saturday arrived this morning.
The following are Extracts :

PARIS, JANUARY]'/.

His*Majesty is now quite fret' from the gout, and
enjoys perfect health. He received on Tuesday the
foreign Ambassadors at his Court; on Wednesday
presided at a Council of Ministers, which laited from
one o'clock till five ; and yesterday transacted busi-
ness with the Duke of Richelieu.

The King has issued a letter to the Vicars-General
of Paris, ordering a solemn service to be celebrated
tLroughout the kingdom on the 21st instant, the an-
niversary of the day when Louis XVI. was executed.
Ile commands that there shall be no discourse or fu-
neral oration delivered from the pulpits ; but that
the testament of that Monarch alone shall be read,
in which be shews himself so submissive to religion,
so tender to his family and his subjects, and so mag-
nanimous towards his enemies.

A report prevails that the Duchess of Angouleme
will. in the course of the ensuing month, make a tour
to lloprdeaux and through the Southern •Provinces. •
M. Lafitte, the banker, has informed the different
Mayors and charitable societies in Paris, that the
sum of 100,000,francs has been placed in his hands,
by a certain number of benevolent persons, and that
the amount assigned to each institution is ready to be
paid. Honoured be the benefactors of the poor,
who have covered such a generous action with the
veil of secrecy !
It is said the fourth number pf the Courier des
Utrnbres has been seized.

Recent letters from Martinique estimate the losses.
sustained by that colony from the late hurricane at
25,000,000 of francs. What is more afflicting still
than the loss of property on the island is, that more
than a thousand individuals have perished, and nine-
tenths of the vessels have been shipwrecked.
on Monday, before mass, the Count de Goltx,
Envoy Extraordinary of Prussia, in private audience
presented to the King a letter from his Sovereign, no-
tifying the marriage of Prince Frede?ick William
Louis of Prussia with Princess ‘Vilhelmina Louisa
d'Anhalt-Bcrnbourg.

Accounts from Geneva of January 1, state, that
the proceedings between 3lustapha Effendi and three

private persons not having been terminated by means
of submissions were dettrmined ott the 20th by the
Tribunal of Commerce, which has conceded to the
stranger part of his conclusions. It is said that he
is on the point of setting out for Egypt, where he
has already dispatched a great number of machines,
proper for the spinning of cotton. He takes with
him 42 persons.
We learn with regret that three of the Missionaries
whom the Bishop of Louisiana had sent out before
him on that mission, have died of the yellow fever at
New Orleans.

Intelligence has been received at Marseilles that an
American squadron of eight ships of war had been
before Tunis. The Bey entered into a negotiation
with the Commodore, and the differences between
the Regency and United States were amicably ar-
ranged by means of a sum of money paid by the
Bey. The American Consul had been reinstated at
Tunis. According to the same letters, the plague
continued its ravages at Bona, on the frontiers of Tunis.

Recent letters from the United States of America
contain the folltiwing statement, which we give
without guaranteeing itc authenticity :—" Amongst
several French Officers wh,o had proceeded to. the
Brazils at the period of the conspiracy breaking out
at Pernambuco, were a M. and Colonel Le-
patre. They were both arrested by the Portugeese,
and important papers were, it is said, found on them
relative to the insurrection which had broken out.--r
They were in consequence brought before the T: ibu-
nal established for the trial of the rebels, condemned
to death, and executed."

CHAMBER OF PEERS, JANUARY 15.

• The Chamber met at one o'clock, under the Pre-
sidency of the Chancellor.
The Order of the Day was moved on the Report
of the Special Committee charged with the examina-
tion of the project of the law on the Liberty of the
Press. The Assembly ordered the Report to be
printed, and adjourned the discussion of the project of
thc)aw until Monday next.
