By Paris Papers of Tuesday, which arrived last
night, we find our anticipations, as to the final res.llt
of the discussion on the Law of Election. completey
confirmed. All the articles of the law which remained
to be voted have passed in the terms proposed tr
Ministers. The seventh and last, being that which
secures the election by one degree instead of two e.
grecs, was not however carried till after a very 11,,,t
discussion, and only by a small majority. The tot.l
numbcr of voters was M.: and of these 11E wt.!
for the clause, and 106 against it.
The law now only waits the additional sanctim et
the House of Peers ; and this is looked to with c,..
,taints even by those who are most hostile to tic
measure. It is pretended that much private and —i.
due solicitation has been using by Ministers te gys4
over the Members of the Upper House ; but imirn,t.
tions like these need be little heeded, where there 's
so much of a sound policy and patriotism to justify
their support, as there is in the present instance.
The health of the Ktso is represented as conti.
nuing to improve. It is naturally an object of great
solicitude to all who are interested in the ;resat
administration of affairs; since it is well understood
that it is on his single will that Ministers depcnd.
His hi/unlit is said to feel much incensed at the
Royalist Opposition for the little pains they have
taken to conceal their pleasure at the probability of a
new succession.

The conspiracy at Boardeaux, of the real extent of
which we were the first among the Journals of this
country, to publish authentic details, is now admitted
on all hands to have been one of no indifferent mag-
nitude.—Not less than 14,000 cards of invitation are
stated to have been issued and acct/tied: and in a dis-
trict so recently the favourite seat of royalism, it is
certainly remarkable enough to behold such num-
bers alteady arrayed on the side of disaffection.—
Is there no reason to suspect that some of that
Ultra-Royalist spirit which has so indecorously he-
trayed itself at Court, on the changeful aspect of the
King's health, may be the secret source of these
more serious agitations in the provinces? An Ultra-
Royalist conspiracy is quote as probable an event at
the present m.)ment of Ultra• Royalist (lemma; c:e
and contusion as any other.

Additional Paris Papers of Wednesday have just
arrived as our Paper is going to Press, but contain
nothing new of importance.

The Duke of Wawsorow had on Tuesday a irt-
vate audience of his MAJESTY.

Notice is taken of our celebrated countryman, Dr.
JouN DELL. of Edinburgh, having been seized with a
violent lissinurhage, in consequence of a previxn
rupture of a blond-vessel, from which, we regret to
say, there is nut yet Any certain assurance given of
his recovery.

Her MAJESTY continues to improve in her
but has not been able to leave her apartments sini.e
her indisposition. 'The Physicians atteniting the
Qi:cts have :►3vist•d this confinement.
On S.tn►d.y, the>th instant, the PIIINCR REOL'Nr
I ' • Brighton; and on the h his ROYAL Hums-
Nzas will open the Session nt I'.,rtia•cent on person.
At twelve o'clock last night, Mr. Eska, the King's
Messenger, kit London with Dispatches for our Ant-
bassador at Madrid.

The Right Hon. Mr. ARBUTHXOT left Town tkls
day to join his Lady, who is on a visit to die Earl
and Countess of WAawica. at 'Warwick Castle.

Thursday evening his Imperial Highness the
Grand Duke Islicuouas of RuwzA and suite arrived
at the Star Inn, Oiford. Yesterday morning the
Vice-Chancellor and Proctors waited upon his Impe-
rial Highness, and accompanied him and his suite to
the different Colleges in that City. Today a Convo-
cation was held at ten o'clock, in order to confer the
degree of D. C. L. by Diplomab on his Imperial
Highness ; and at one o'clock, another Convocation
was held, to confer the honorary degree of D. C.l •
on Baron hlscotar, General IiCTUSOFF, Getter,'
SAVNASSO/1/, Cavalier GLJNKA, and Dr. Carcirroa.
The costume of the Ladies at the Pavilion Bat% on
Tuesday. was tastetol and elegant; they principally
wore blond dresses, ricrly ornamented with tiounco.;
and flowers at the bottom, the top with blond l ce
and satin to correspond. Plumes of feathers, gold
wreaths, and Hireb•rs, prevailed in the headdresses.
Some few mnatlis ago a good deal of speculati.n,
as our Readers may recollect, was excited by the
report given in a contemporary Evening Journal, ct
some expressions said to Lave fallen from Prince
TALLEYUAND at the table ut Sir CrIARLI:3
our Ambassador at Patin. The Es-Minister wets
described as hiving expressed himself with wartma
against the present Ministry of France, aed
mire especially M. Past/mat, the President
.01
the Chamber of Deproi,rs, going to rece.,
his instructiAis hour M. Di: CASE, the Mini".'
GI Police. In our l'api•r of to-day, hoaever, we .e=
enabled to preset.t our Reader,. with the sta:ement
M TALLY.YRAND himself of what actually passed, as
contained in a letter which he has thought
it neces-
sary to write to Lord CASII.I..REAG/I, in refutatii.r,
or rather in explanation, of the current reports. 1r
admits his having talked of 6, difference of functiost
producing difference of rank among Ministers," aed
so forth ; but says, that be only spoke of '4 Ministriei.
not Ministers: the name of no one was mentionee."
The amount of the explanation, in short, appears
be—that be only talked generally, but withal so s;g-
nificantly, that nobody could mistake the appllza-
tiou intended.
