blr,-in v'oar hlansion-loee repott of Saturday last, the Lord Mlayor is represeuted to have reflected upon the coniduct of the over- seers of St. iMary, rhitechapel, for their inhumanity tswards .Mlary facey and her four infant children. As I took an actite part in tfiat businicss, I amn idetid with it; and it being the subect of conversation in the lttle circle in which I move, my respect for the opinion of miy feUow-parishioners makes me unwilling such a state. ment sould go forth to the public unanswered; and I rely upon your liberality to insert my explanation. The family in question, accompanied by one of my Lord Mayor's officers, presented theni- selves at the poor-house on the 25th of March, with orders of ad- mission, (not of rermoval), dated 6th ot February-vesy l oOr evi.. dence, indeed, of ,he liability of the parish to provide for the pau- pers, who might, in the lapse of six weeks, have become chargeable to other par4lhes, and such a conjecture was probable front thie va. grant life they had led in the interim; in the absence, therefore, of cearer evidence, I refused to receive them, remoarking to the ofiicer l-" They are not refused on account of your not having a regular order: but because we have no proof that their settlement is with us: if we had, wre should receive them without an orler, as it is our practice to overlook forms in all plain cases. As to the assertion of tearing the orders. it is wvholly false. I anm incapable of such vul- garsty; nor will I yield to any man, in disposition and devoteduess to reieve the distresses of my poorer fellow-creatures; but feel it equally my duty to resist every illegal removal, come fronr whence t may. The parish cannot relieve all applicants; tbr (to use his Lordship's words) " really if we were to act in this manner, (out of. the city>, I do not know what would become of us."

I From tbe Btoile.I A quarter of an hour after the opening of the gates of the Lou- vre all places were occupied by a crowd of ladies, whose elegant dresses formed round the saloon a rainbow, shaded with a thousand colours. At twelve, the Peers, in grand costume, were introduced by the Master of the Ceremonies ; their Lordsbips took place on the right of the throne. A moment after, the Deputies were introduced, and took place on the left. While the deputations of the two Chambers went to receive the King, their Royal Highnesses, MAadame the Duchess of Angouw leme, the Duchess of Berri, and the Duchess of Orleans, foUlowed by their ladies, came to occupy the seats prepared for them on the Wing's left. The King oppears. Acclamations of enthusiasm salute the adored Monarch. His lMajesty testifies by several gracious inclina. tions how much he is move4 by these marks of attachment. Their Royal Highnesses illonsieur and the Duke of Angouleme are placed on stools on the right and left of the throne. His Serene Highness the Dake of Orleans is seated further removed. The Prince de Talleyrand, Great Chamberlain, is on a stool at the foot of the Throne; the King's Atinisters, the Mlarshals, and the Freat Dignitaries, occupy seats a little lower. I'he King, addressing the Peers, said, Messieurs les Pairs, be seated. The Lord Chancellor said to the Deputies,fessieurs les Deputies, the King permits you to be seated. TheKing uncovered to salute the assemblv; after havingcover- ed himself again, his Mlajesty delivered the speech (which we gave yesterday.) lVe must renounce the hope of depicting the impression produced by the speech of his Majesty. What an empire does the voice of a son of Henry 1V. exercise over the hearts of Frenchmen ! The Chancellor announced to the Peers and Depudes newly elect- ed, that the King admits them to the konour of taking the oath at his hands. The Chancellor, kneeling, took the King's orders, and announced that the intention of his l ajesty is, that the Peers and Depudes meet to-morrow, Mlarch 24, in the ordinary place of their sittings, to begin theirnperations. His Alajesty and his august family must, long after their de. parture, have heard the unanimous cries of "Live the King!" " Live the Bourbons I" " Live the Dake of Bordeaux!" PRENCH PAPERS. PARIS.

WVe commend the discussion of this day, in the Common Council, to general notice; we would also commend it to general imitation throughout the country; in which case there is no doubt that at least the windov-wtax would be repealed. It is curious to see the CHANCEELOR of the Ex- CHEQUEa persevere (if in his heart he does persevere) in favouring one interest at the expense of anotlher-inexciting rival claims, and kindling mutual animosity, by his plan of finance, whilst he might introduce measures that would not only assist all those who are now so fearful of the in- vasion of their property, but the whole body of their countrymen also in the middling classes of life, who can derive no immediate or sensible advantage from the intro- duction of foreign silks. The ar-ount of the window-tax might, if it were not better employed, enable a poor man. to buy his wife a silk gown ; but the silk gown will not pay the window-tax. Surely the world must see that the CHANCETLOS. of the ExcHeQuER is going to the wrongend.

The noble l(ird concurred in the object of the petition, whichi was to bring about the cultivation of sugar by free labour, and as sugar was gernmane to tea, he took that op ortunity of adverting to the enormouis enhancemnent of the price of the latter necessary of life. The extortion occasioned bv the monopoly of the Ea st India Company was well exposed in the last !iniumber of the Edinburgh Recicwe. and he It -pcd that Mr Hume or some other active memberoof the Hlouse ot Conimons, would speeQlily take up the subject and bring it betbre Parliament.
