The Paris Papers of Fa iday arrived last night.
The Monitessr contains a Royal Ordinance, peiim;,/,
gating, and giving full force and execution to tie :4W
which has passed the Chambers, provid4 for the h.
quidation of the debts due to Foreign States, and to
the Allied Powers for their military expm"
formity with the Treaty of the 20th of Noember,
1815. The loan for the former pts:-,:ose, re
an emission of 16,000,000 of rentes, is to k
mediately contracted for ; and we learn front private
letters, that so eager is the competirina f-l- It uxql
French capitalists themselves, that the has
been obliged to divide it equally amongst theft.
The other branch of the loan, which will require
a farther creation of twenty-four millions, is rats
pectedto be called for till the npproachingCpe
of the Allied Powers, at which the question of shb.
drawing the Army of Occupation is to be decided
—The French Funds, in ti:e meantime,
standing this large issue of new renter, continue n.
pidly rising ; on Thursday last they reached as %;s],
as 68 fr. 75 c. and left off at 66 fr. 60 c. And fm
this is the country which we are told is so pis. sr 2.1
exhausted that it cannot potuidly discharge its
debts except at an abatement of fifteea

Russia and Austria are represented as panievially
favourable to the measure. It would be well if that
who indulge in dreams of such revival, would tell us
at the same time what. rational purpose is to he
served by it.

Acsonats from Constantinople state, that the eft-
doct of the Divan with regard to Servia condones m
direct opposition to the views of the Emperor Atts-
ANDRII, and that the Russian Minister at Constanti-
nople has in consequence been obliged to said to F. 4
Court for fresh instructions.

Prince Isatoxoweer, who was commissioned by
the Emperor ALILIANDU to convey the remains (1
Kosoustro from Switzerland to his native ceuntrr,
has arrived with his precious trust at Soleure.
A private letter from Paris countenances a belief
that the rumours of Ministerial charges which hale
prevailed for some time past are not wholly deairam
of foundation. The Seals are talked of for 3L Lim;
for M. Da CAZES, the two departments of the interior
and the Police; while, adds the story, as an impor-
tant circumstance, M. Vu.Lete is pointed out for the

Finance Department, in lieu of M. CORVIZTO.
