A mistake is entertained by some people respecting
the issue of the question on the Civii List. It is be-
lieved by many that the Droits of the Admiralty and
the 4i per cent. Colonial Duties are to remain dis-
posable as formerly, without the cognizance of Par-
liament ; but the fact is not so. Mr. CANNING ex-
pressly stated, respecting the Colonial Duties, that to
prevent their proceeds from being improperly distri-
buted, " the amount of that Fund and its applica-
tion, should be annually laid before Parliament,
44 as a matter of course, and without any previous
" motion." And, ss ith respect to thiAdmiralty Droits,
the same Right Hon. Gentleman states, that he is
also ready to meet Mr. BROUGHAM, and to tell him
that, " it is part of the new arrangeMent that an ac-
" count of every grant out of this Fund should, as a
" matter of course, and without Address, be laid be-

le fore the Housi every session, immediately after
" such grant." The subject of debate, therefore; was
only whether it should be Parliamentary provision,
or Parliamentary revision. But the end of publicity
is attained by eiiher.

The Paris Journals of Thursday arrived yesterday;l
On Wednesday, Lours XVIIL received the comp&
ments of th►_ two Chambers, who had named Depu-
tations to wait upon his MAJESTY, to felicitate Lim
on the Anniversary of his Return to .the Capital.—
e, Men pass away," said the KING, in his answer to
M. RAVEZ, " but events endure; and I trust that the
remembrance of this day will be for ever engraven
is the hearts of all Frenchmcnr'—lt was alleged,
that on Friday last M. LAME would report upon the
new Project of Law concerning the Elections.—The
time for the prosecution of Lostvel, before the Peers,
was to be fixed in the course of the present week.

At midnight, on Wednesday, M. Mouquart, a garde du carp
of MONSIEUR, who had just received the order, or pass-word, at
the Thuilleries, was on his way from thence on foot, when he
was attacked, in the Rue de Bourbon, by three men, who dis-
charged pistols at him, the balls from which wounded him in
both arms, and in the breast. M. Mouquart fell, and the assas-
sins, precipitating them.olves upon him, robbed him of the order,
or pass-word, but took nothing else. M. Mouquart, whose
wounds are happily not mortal, had the presence of mind, upon
assi.tance arriving in a few minutes, to state inunediately, that
he had been robbed of the order, or pass-word, and the word
was changed without delay, in order to prevent persons from
gaining admission by the use of the former.

Saturday, the KING held a Court at his Palace, in
Pall-Mall, which vests numerously attended. After
the Court his MAJESTY held a Chapter of the Order
of the Bath, at which Lord HOWARD of EFFINGHAM
was introduced, and received the insignia of a Knight
Grand Cross, and Sir H. TUCKER NIONTRESOR those
of a Knight Commander. The KING afterwards, on
his Throne, received the Address of the Convocation
of the Clergy of the Province of Canterbury. The
KING afterwards held a Privy Council, at which
Lord DONOUGHMORE, was sworn in a Privy Councillor.
It was finally determined, in a Council, held at the
KING'S Palace, on Saturday last, that the Coronation
shall take Once on Tuesday, the Ist of August ; and
the nccassary directiot * were issued accordingly.
Yesterday, the KING attended Divine Service at
the Chapel Royal, St. James's, with his Royal High;
ness the Duke of YORK, and their Royal Highnesses
the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE. The Commu-
nion Service was read by the Bishop of LONDON, as
Dean of the Chapel. The Bishop of EXETER attended
as Clerk of the Closet, and also the Reverend Dr.
STANIER CLARKE. The sermon was preached by the
Rev. Mr. DLER.
• Saturday, Sir HENRY HALFORD attended the
Duchess of Yoxx, at (Minds, and we are happy to
• say, made a Favi,arable report of the state of her
Royal Highness's health, which was, that her Royal
: Highness was a great deal better.
Yesterday, being the Duchess of Yoan's birth-day,
a number of the Nobility and persons of distinction,
, called at York Howe, to leave their names.
i Mrs. W. CAMAC has not put off her 'Fancy Ball
t for to-morrow evening, as some person has caused
• to be insetted in the Morning Pankof this morning.
