The boisterous weather has prevented the usual arriv;:ls Con-

tinental mails ; and at the time we write, the Paris papers of Tuesday arc the latest which have come to hand. The Committee of the Chamber of Deputies, by a majority of 7 to 2, have de- clared in favour of reducing the interest on the Five per Cent Stock. The King, however, is using his influence to prevent that meng' .!; and it is scarcely expected to pass this session.

Paris journalists are exceedingly angry that no mention of France was made in the British Queen's speech—"t was a gra- tuitous slight." • The Captain of the National Guards who acted as spokesman of the deputation to the Electoral Reform Committee, has been suspended from his functions for two months. Eleven other officers requested to be similarly dealt with, as they sympathized with the Captain.
