London, Tuesday, May 11, ...
It appears by the Frenchl papers of Saturday last, ex- tracts from which we subjoin, that a kind of official decla- ration: has been given at Paris, that thc first dividend upon what is called the Royal, or Royalty Loan of Spain, is to be paid at Paris. We believe there is a mystification in this transaction, of which it is, perhaps, not worth the whilot to attempt the elucidatiotn: but it will be recollected, that Tihis Royalty Loan, whoever may be the holdlers of it, was contracted subsequently to that loan so much of which is bondfide in the hands of British subjects, and for the payment of the dividend due upon wlhich no funds have been transmitte(d to this country.
