Paris papers to the 3d last. have arrived, bat their
contents are ao otherwise of importance than disprov-
jag the authenticity of the document we mentioned yes-
terday, published by The Constilutionnel as the Man-
festo of the Emperor Alexander. The Journal des
Debuts of the 2d inst. says :—" All doubts in this re-
spect are at so end, We have learnt from the most
competent authority. that the pretended Manifesto is a
-Woe and fabricated piece ; the Russian Court has not
yet published any thing like it.—There are accounts
of the 23d from Spain, w►ich contain details of the dis-
persion of the factions bands. Mhos, the chief leader,
led *across the frontier, and was received with a rigid
Observance of neutrality, by the French Authorities
saasjsg the arms of him and his band to be horned in
,sight of the constitutional Spaniels troops, with the
other formalities of q u tine.

SALT Taix.—The measures of the Chancellor of the
Exchequer went over-ruled by some fatality. Even
when be proposes relief, he produces oppression. His
Bill for repealing a certain portion of the Duty on
.Salt, aye the Wen Baton, may be truly entitled
I" an Act for ansibilating the Pilchard Fishery of
Cornwall," for the proposed remission, generally, will
irmacconspanied by an additional duty of ten shillings

its effect on the Irish Provision Trade, it is appre-
hended, will prove equally destructive. OWe have not
room at present," say the Drblia Evening Pool, "or we
should be enabled to satisfy our Readers, that the Re
ties!. as et present contemplated, would deprive this
country of any chance which she might have of
recovering from the present pressure which is
crusting her down to the earth. A. committee of
inordinate is sitting at this moment on the subject, and
we would suggest to the merchants of Cork. Water-
ford. and Limerick, to combine with their brethren in
Dublin, and a►ert this calamity, if possible."
Serious complaints are made by Law Stationer' of
' a Bill now in Parliament for the regulation of the
stamp duties. Law stamps are, as well as penalties,
in some cases, to be increased!, and the allowances to
the Law Stationers reduced. A meeting- has been
held at Blanchester on the subject.

The Bristol Mercury, of Saturday last, informs us
that the accounts from the mining districts of Mon-
mouthshire are of a p acificnatare. The question of
wages, however, remains still unrettled between the
toasters and their workmen at the principal works,
excepting Blaenavon, The manner in which the Ma-
gistrates of the county have taken np the question of
wagers' shops, and the unalterable resolotion mani-
fested by them, to enforce, upon conviction, the penal-
ties of those Acts of Parliament, known by the name
of Mr. Moggridge's Acts, have given great satisfaction.

THE I.Ale FETE AT THE KING'S THEATRE —Tile

- •
circumstance which unfortunately subjected M. Bel-
zoni, at the Theatre, to the harsh treatment which we
noticed in our account of the ball, and of which be
complained in a circular letter, is thus explained to-
day in a note by Mr. Ebers :
Mr. Vaughan having obtained two tickets of admis-
sion, transferred one of them to Colonel Burke, and ca.
changed the other at Mr. Ebers'. fur a Lady's ticket.
Colonel Burke, on his way home, had his pocket picked,
and in consequence requested that his Ticket, upon
which Mr. Vaughan's name was written, might he stop-
,if it should be presented for admission, The seanid
Ticket hating been disposed of to Mr. Belzoni, and hay
hog also the name of Mr. Vaughan attached to it, was
not thought of at the moment, and being the first pre
tented, was considered as the one which bad been im-
properly obtained.
