Dublin. April IL.
We have London papers OF Monday the
Sth. by this days mail, and Paris papers
and letters to the 9th instant.
Princess Charlottesville letter from
Paris, dated the 9TH instant, inserted in a
ministerial paper of Monday. we observe
the following curious passage:
NJ. Bonald. the author of Political!
Legislation. and Member OF the Chamber
of Deputies, sent the day b. fore Yesterday
an article to the Journal des Debates, which
the Censeur very prudentiy suppressed
the purport of IL was against the right If
succession in the female branch of the
legal family Of Great Britain, The author
affirmed that an adherence to such sys-
tenn would create an inevitable confusion
IN Europe. 1t is perhaps to be regretted
that the absurd Speculation of this man
was not permitted to see the day."
We forbear entering into any comment
on this very strange piece of intelligence,
but 1t Will, We conceive, occasion much
speculation.
The following from London paper, also
seems somewhat unaccountable.
The Prince of Cobourg has ordered so
grey horses to be purch sed for his stables
and the estabiishment of the roval Couple
are to wear the Coburg livery. instead of
that of the royal house of England"
France.-As sample of personal safety
| in France under the Government establish
ed by the Deifverers. it is stated that the
two Counse!lors who defended General
i'ravot on his Trial have been thrown into
| prison.
| Emigration to France-On this subject
we extract the following from an English
paper
=" 1t is with much regret we learn. that
several gentlemen are shortly about to e al
CRATE from THIS neighbourhond t. France
among the rest gentleman, who is a ma
| gistrSte OF the country, residing few miles
d slant from this city, of considerable land
| ed properiy--so that the annual value of
his estates will be laid out with French
men.-We are sorry that this unpatriotic
| Custom IS so prevalent-it is a serious and
a growing evil; and it is much to BE- wish
| ed the Legislature would attach some
! weighty taxation on British capital thus
transferred into the hands of foreigners.
| Bon0harfe.-The Zenobia sloop cf war
arrived in Plymouth Sound, Monday, LIST
inst from St. Helena. after a passage of
weeks. Some of the Zenobia's people
had been employed in fittirg up the house
at Longwood TOR th> Ex-Emperor. The
stories about sentinels threatening and firing
at him--of Captain Popewell, &c. g., turn

| suffers no complains to escape his lips,
! submits to his confinement. (Which he be-
iieves to be temporary with philosophy.
and appears to have infused the same spirit
INTO his followers. Bopsp rte was on the
best footing with the officers of the SD.

Public E.rhenditurc.--A the
many Curious items of charges laid upon the
table OF the House of Commons, is one
which has attracted tie attention of the
Opposition, viz. 10000 for her mai,sty's
trapelli1g erfences to and from BRIGHTON.
London, April 8.
We have received Paris papers and pri-
vate Letters of Thursday last They an
nounce one peice of intelligence of much
importance-The rejection by the Cham
Der of Peers, by majority Of SO to 81, of
the proposed Law upon Elections, sent I'D
from the Chamber of Deputies The Law.
as originally proposed contained provision
by which the Chamber of Deputies was to
be renewed one fifth every year; the
Chamber rejected that provision, and pro
posed that when the Chamber was renew
ec, 1t should be in toto. The Law thus
amended was sent up to the Peers, an
the amendment occasioned its rejection
L he principle of renewal by ffths is totally
Inconsistent with the principle of a fair po-
pular representation. BY management the
government would be able to influence the |
return OF fifth of a Chamber, 50 that in |
tour or five years the Deputies would be |
little more than the organs of the will of |
the government. But the renewal at once
OF the whole Chamber, woIld render il |
impracticable for the government to extend |
It's influence over the whole kingdom.
To the Curious Causes cele6res which |
have lately been pleaded before the French |
lribunes, another is to be added, in which |
Mrs. Jerome Bonaparte is plaintiff, and the |
Ex- King, Jerome Bonaparte, defendant
The latter, when in America, married a |
beautiful American Lady of the name of |
Pattetson--but being recalled to France by |
his brother, the latter, by his own authority |
dissolved the marriage as unworthy of all |
the blood OF ali the Bonapartes. Little |
Jerome was then married TO a German |
Pr'ncess, and WAS Created King of West
phalia. DrnyiDg the LEGALITY of the second
marriage, Mrs. Patterson is endeayourinr |
to establish the legality of her own in order |
to give herself a right to part of the pro- |
perry which her husband has still in
France.
