London, Wednesday, May 12...
The Paris papers of Sunday morning and zveoing arrived last snight. Thc Moniteur is principally lillcd with the debates of the Chamber of Peers on the 7th of May, when the la.v for the septen- nial rcrnwal nf the Chamber of Deputics was passed by a majority of 117 to 67. The M1onileezr hac likewise a notice to the merchants, from the office of the Minister of Financc,acquaintin; th1em that there ilave beens introduced iito France, and cbpecially Paris, 6ilvcr bars, which liave been m-st in auch a manlier, that their Furfaces are>?D- Tposed. of very fine silver, wlhile the internal part contains a gved!- quantity of alloy. It is the more necessary for merchants, bankers, arid others, who deal in gold and silver, to be on their guard against this fraud, as the officers of the Alint have lately found differences o-f 100, 200, 300, and 320 thIoueandthisr in the several layers of silver bars composed iia this manner. The Eloilc,ecvikrently with the view of keeping up the alarilm it Iiat lately endeavonired ta cxdtc on tile subject of Southi America. talks vaguely of a largc Icvy of trGops in Spain, of which the grcatcr portion is to bc ernployed againsttihc ex.colonies of FERDINAND. Thesc accouints ought to be received with peculiar distrust. NYe ear they are cre;lited i this couintry much more than they descrve; an;d that they tend, in sonme degree, to paralybe the operations of the English merchants engaged. in commerec with thlose countries. Would G-overnment at once adopt the resolution to declare them in- .dependent, all these machinations woultI instantly cease. ILOXN DOY, WEDNXESD.lA r VJY 19, 1824.
