We have received the Paris papers OF
Thursday and Friday last
This is the day on which the trial Of
lSir Robert Wilson, and Messrs. Hut
Crimson and Bruce is to commence. 1t is,
probable that the trial may occupy the
whole week.
The empress Of Austria, who was sup
posed to be on the recovery from her IN
disposition, has unexpectedly fallen al
yictim to it in the S9th year Of her age.
She was very amiable princess. The
discussion of the budget has at length
been brought to a conclusion, 4 the budg-
let has been passed with amendments, s57;
being for it and only six against it. 1T
will be Immediately communicated to the
Ipeers, who are expected to pass it after
a few days debate. The king will then
iprorosue the two chambers, and they
Twill meet again, according TO one OF the
Paris papers, about the middle Of Octo-
lber.
The initiative assumed By the commit. 4
ltee. in opening credit Of 100000 OF
Iannuities for HE minister of finance, was
not contested. Nothing is doubtless
more generous than the confidence plac-
ed by the chamber in the depositaries OF
/ the Royal Authority bat, at the same|
| the nothing is more prudent thar thel
reserve imposed on the minister, not to|
apply the six millions which have thusl
been voted, except in diminishing for thel
future. If the occasion should arise, theI
extraordinary business Of the state. LII
lis true wisdom to forese every thing cir
cumstances may embarrass the payment
OF the contributions.
"a case ofgreat importance will comet
before the tribNnal of commerce in tewl
days. A port toIio containing paper toI
the value of two millions, was left at theI
Thuillelies, on the Goth March. The vi
supper, on his arrival, took possession OF
lit, and constituted it his private property
He took it with him to Waterloo. Hav-|
ing, when he fed, abandoned his carriage
the port flio remained in it. We are|
ignoraut into what hands it tell but it isl
certain that the bills have been negociat-l
ed at banking house In London. The(
Tribunal of commerce will have to pro-
|nounee on the validity Of the transac-
|tion.
The French Funds are higher.
.Ehe mau iage OF the Princess Charlotte
and the Prince of Cobourg is not turtherI
postponed, as some papers have asserted.
1t will be celebrated Oh Thursday week,
I'd May.
We received this morning American
papers to the 18th last month.
Wheat advanced this morning at Mar.
ket IS. per quarter, and Flour los. per
