The Resolution of the Peers on the Election Law, has been rejected in the Chamber of Deputies by a majority if 150 to 94. The closing discussion on Tuesday was opened by M. ROZER COLLARD, who spoke against the propo sition.—M. LAM! followed, and in a long speech en deavoured to justify himself from the inconsistency with which he lAs been charged in taking part with the Chamber of Peers against a law, in the formation of which he had himself so prominent a share. The KEEPER of the SEALS replied to the chief points of M. Laine's speech. Alluding to the late ad. dition to the Chamber of Peers, he observed that it had been rendered absolutely necessary by the con-i Iduct of the Chamber in rejecting all projects of law introduced by Ministers, even without examination, and that the exercise of the Royal prerogative by the King of France on ,this occasion, was net greater than what had been seen in England, where, during the present reign, more than a hundred Peers-have been successively created, without any objection being raised by the House of Commons. The Reporter of the Commission on the Proposi tion (Count Br.t:oNoT) was then loudly called upon for his misty; but he declined making any, and the question being put to the vote, terminated in the spanner before announced. The Chamber of 2cers had also a meeting on , the same day, when the order of the day called for the dis , :msion of the proposition for an Adih-css to the *_;lug to bring :n a Law for the revocatinn rif that of the 9th November, 1815, respecting Seditious Cries. Several Members demanded the adjournment, on the ground that the Project of Law on the Press, pre sented on the preceding day in the Chamber of De puties, already contained a proposition for the repeal of the Law in question. The adjournment was cop . posed by other Members; but, on being put to dae. vote, was carried by a majority (which may becen sidered as one in favour of Ministers) . of 110 to 4/7. Three new Peers, whose titles had been previously verified, wrre introduced at this sitting—namely, the Marquis D'AnAcoN, Baron DUBRETON, and Count M.tuatcc MATHIEU; and the titles of another of the new creation (the Duke de COREGLIANO) were presented, and remitted to a Committee, who re. ported for their validity. The number of Petitions presented to the Cham ber of Deputies for the maintenance of the Law of Elections, is said to have amounted to no less than nine hundred. . A Law for a new organization of the National Guards is announced to be in the course of preparation. The Journal de Paris states, that the public wan , quality was again disturbed at Nismes on Sunday, the 14th. The soldiers of the garrison'wese insulted ~ crowds -;etiabled in the vicinity of the Theatraj and 4 general fight appears to have ensued. in which see vsral persons were wonxiad with sticks and stones.

" At length the Law on the Liberty of the Press is presented, which will so entirely absorb public awn« tier, that all anterior measures will be forgotten. We do not see from the texture of it what should have made it so long in preparation. The French P.Ters will give you a summary of the conunts, from which it will be seen that the present Ministry is severely nicknamed when termed a liberal one. 'Stie do not know what more effectual shackes could hare been contriyed to chain the spirit of a'political.writcr ; the law, if it passes, of •which there is great doubt, as most of the leading Mcnibers . of • both Chambers are popular•'political writers, will crush at least one third of the daily • prints,, and nine-tenths of the, periodical productions. . "The security demanded is 1 0,000 francs of rents, which, at the present price of Stocks, would take 1:5,700 to purchase ; now, it will be seen, that few indeed can furnish that sum lower to them—the con dition is an absolute prohibition, but supposing they could furnish it, how few would trust such a sum to the interpretation of ignorant, weak, or venal Judges, whc receive ca:-parte'evidence without blush ing, and who receive with profound submission, the orders of cwthority, when such a scene is at once tangible is it not a bait for cupidity ? and will not grounds of action be sedulously sought after? We fear so. We confess we . anticipated a very different law-from such enlightened men as DESSOLL ES, DE CAzEs, PORTAL, and DESERRK. We were mistaken; there can be little doubt of such a law being greatly modified by the Chambers ; but would it net have been more politic to concede these things with a • grace, which you on rcfusal will be forced to grant?"

German Papers reached us last night. They con ta:a an article, confirming the report, that the Go vernment of the Netherlands has consented, that the Navigation of the Rhine shall be free, in the true sense of the word, that is, along its whole course through the Dutch territory, to the sea. It is, how ever, observed, that this privilege will be but of limited benefit to the Germans, unless tl u tolls at Cologne, Mentz, and Manlicim, are abolished. If these impediments to a free Commerce by that river should be removed, the German Manufacturers flat ter themselves, that they could maintain a successful competition with the British Manufacturers, and particularly in Cotton fabrics, fur the supply of the American market. iePorred in Switzerland that the pay of their troops. in France is to be reduced to'a level with that of the French soldiers, which is not above half that of the former. Independently of this apprehension, the service is said to be by no means agreoable to the Swiss, as they are looked upon with a jealous eye by the French.
