three millions to complete the Harbour of Havre, the
other fk, Coal Bfl, and the third for building a
Bridgen Saturday also a Deputation from
the Chem* of Deputes, ,st kead of which
was the Doke of Mummy, presented' to the
Chamber of Peers the Projects of the Finance
Law, with the Amendments agreed to by his Ma-
jesty; and that of the Law for the Liquidation of
the foreign Claims on France. The second Project
was referred to the Bureaux for examination ; but a
Special Committee of sevenVeurbets was immediately
appointed to ermine the first. A Grand Deputation
was then appointed to wait on the King next day, to
congratulate him on his entry into Paris on the 3d
of May, 1814. The prosecution of M. rime, for
seditious writings, has been concluded, and the poor
slither has bean found guilty of endeavouring, by
seditious writings, to weaken the respect due to the
King and his asithority, and therefore adjudged to
three months imprisonment, a file of 50 francs; to
the surveillance of the high Police far s year; to
find security to the amount of 1,500 francs ; his work
to be confiscated and suppressed ; and to pay all the
expences of the process. An appeal against this deci-
sion was immediatelyentered bytheAttorne) of Frxvxx.
A still more curious, ridiculnes. and silly prows,-
lion is detailed as carrying on before the Tribunal of
Correctional Police, against a young man of the
name of Fetter, the author of a publication called
The Grey Man; or, The Little Chronicles, and the
publisher of that work. FERE; who is but 23
years of age, appeared at the first audience in a suit
of clothes of the same coloer as the name of his work,
but had laid them aside on his last appearance before
the Court. The first head of charge was for ridicul-
ing the revival of the Passion-song in the streets in
Passion.week ; the next for attributing the exile of the
men whom France honouredihe most, to the hatred of
a Ministry stained with every crime; and the
last, which is a still more questionable one (but
any thing may be called sedition in these days,
in France els well es. in England) runs in these
words Then there is nothing to fear from
those who may wish to overturn the throne; the na-
tion, for its own interest, will know how to support
it. The same force which would crumble it into dust,
if it should violate our guarantees, will protect it
against every aggression if it is faithful to its oaths."
There is a foolish intermediate charge, that " some
people would wish the violet (the tower which used
to be worn by the Bonsparteans) should turn while
(like the lily of France we suppose this quaint wit
would ; but the nation would not suffer it, as
then the Bower would become degenerate." These
are the offences for which the King's Advocate
called on the Court for a punishment on FiRLT, of
six months imprisonment, and a fine of 1200 francs ;
and on ILIWILLIEK, the publisher, of three months
imprisonment, and a fine of 5000 francs. The cease
was then pot off for a week in
..order to hear M.
Mutation's pleadings for M. PIERIT... These Papers
contain no further intelligence respecting the proceed-
ings of the trial at Albi.
Letters from Naples, according to the Gaulle de
France, say, that Ce ARLIN IV. the Ex-King of Spain,
