IVe have received the Paris Papers of Moodily and

Tuesday last.

The state of the funds con!inues to improve.
5 per cents. left off on Monday at 61f. They lid
bee" on the same day as high as 62.

Some very long debates seem to have taken rhice
in the Sitting of the Chamber of Deputies on Mon.
day, on the project of a law for regulating el"cti•r,o
to the Legislative Body, which was presented by (14
Minister of the Interior. Tie object of 'hi• oks
pears to be to place the elective frinritise in
hands only as ire likely to be devoted to the Go-
vernment. The lower Colleges, as at presoitt coo.
stituted, it seems, are not considered is sufficiently
trust-worthy, especially in the event of any new re.
volutionory furor ; and therefore, under the pretest
of fulfilling the Charter, the 35th article of which
prescilbes that a new law shall be made on this sub.
ject, and with the view of gi►ing greater stability to
the Government, the power of election is to be
chi, fly confined to Magiitratec, the Clergy, Übe..
lie and Protestant, the representatives of commer-
cial guilds and fraternities, and those who pay tho
highest taxes.. The right of the Executive to annul
elections, under certain circumstances, and to fill up
the collegiate lists by its own nominations, is also
confirmed by this law, which is already denominated
a more just, direct, and popular mode of appealing
to the nation, collecting its sentiments, and preserv.
ing its privileges, than any that has yet been adopted.
The Tivres says that, thus elected, the French
Deputies are the real Representatives of the People,
if ever any assembly of melt could be said to deserve
that name! !

The 11iinistei's project of an Amnesty makes hut
slow progress through the Committees of the Cham-
ber of Deputies. It is said it meets with great op-
position; and every thing tends to confirm 046 assn.
tion. The debates upon this subject, thool;li the
most important to France of all questions that now
engage the attention of her Legislature, are studi-
ously withhold from the public, whilst the Joornals
are filled with the most uninteresting matter.

punishment will be mitigated to banishment. A Privy
Council was to be held on the subject on Tuesday
last.

Another important arrest is said to hain
