PANS, JANUARY is. The 4ee English °Mars who have been autistid by the French Government, and who have been the subject of conversation since yesterday, are Sirs lto. 'bra Wilson, Michael Bruce, and Hutchinson. They are accused of having given an asylum for several days to Lavalette, and of having then favoured his flight out of the Kingdom. They will be brought before a criminal tribunal. Their trial will of course excite much public curiosity, and must throw great light on the means that were employed to withdraw the convict from justice.— Garotte de Frosts. Another Paper states, Sir ROBERT WILSON, Sir Thomas Hurcuoisou, and Mr. BROOM, were arrested the day before yesterday, by . order of the Minister of Police. It is reported, that they were arrested for having projected and favoured the escape of LAVA• LETTS.; who escaped dressed in English regimentals, and who was accompanied as far as Brussels by Sir ajn.BERT W/ LEON in his chariot.

This Company would engage to supply the inhabitants of Paris with abundance of water. It is not known whether their offers are of a kind to be accepted: We read in a Morning Journal an article which has caused some uneasiness. The fcdowing is the matter to which the journalist alludes : some libellists have made use of the name of the ambassador of an Allied Sovereige to give circulation to a writinz still in ma • nuscript, and which contains a take report to his master on the situation of France. This Minister, well known for his attachment to ate Kipg of France, was indign , ant at seeing some miscreant thus compromis e his name and character—he compla:necl of it, and has requested that the forger be sought for, in order to be delivered up to all the rigour of the laws. This is the whole of the mystery.

Some English journals, diceived by false reports, have thought proper to entertain their readers with accounts of disturbances in the South of France, of which religion is Laid to be the cause. A Society was in consequence formed at London for the purpose of remedying imaginary evils ; and thi; Society wrote to Lord Wellington, in order to obtain information. The Nobie Lord, somewhat better informed as to the true state of things, replied, on the '2Bth of Novem ber, to the Secretaries of this Society, that, in con formity to the intentions of the King and the Char: ter, the French Government alike protected all citi zens. About the same time several Consistories in France received a circular addressed to them by the same society. In this circular, they affected to de plore the calamities and persecutions which the French Protestants endured, and concluded by offering them succour and protection abroad, if they chose to emi grate with their property and industry. The answer of the Presidents of the French Con sistories was unanimous, and presented a new proof of the attachment borne to Louis le Dvire by all his subjects. From widely separate points of the king ' dam, and without mutual concert, the, Presidents of Consistories, while they thanked the Society for their offers, replied, that every religious sect enjoyed, under the• paternal government of the King, unlimited liberty of couscience; that the laws equally protected all citizens ; that the Ministers of their faith were paid by the Royal Tteasnry ; and that the Protes tants, as well iss, ether subjects of the King, were too proud of the name of Frenchmers to think of e i hanging tht.k. couutnivz--(4entei de Pgrit).

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. SITTING OS THE 13TH JANUARY. At three o'clock the Chamber heard, in secret Committee, the report of M. Chi Met on the proposal of M. Castelbajac, the object of which was to enable the Communes to assess themselves, for the purpose of improving the situation of the Curates and Rec tors. This report, in correspondence with the prin ciples which animate the Chamber, appeared to make a great impression upon it. At four o'clock the Sitting became public. • M. DI ST. ALDEG6NDE spoke in the name of the Committee on Petitions. Certain mutilated military, he said, both in their own name and in that of 2500 of their brothers in arms, represented, that in reward for their services and wounds, (locations had been granted them, which enabled them to support them selves and their families. Now they were deprived of these dotations, which had been established in countries now foreign to France. They added, that they had often applied to the Treasury of the extra ordinary domains of the Crown, to obtain, if not an egnivalent for their dotations, at least soml pension corresponding to their services. The Comitiittne thuught it their duty to collect information as to the nature of the petitioners' claims. They in consb (pence ascertained that the War apartment had no duty assigned it in regard to this kind of dotations, which, in aspect to 2500 of the petitioners, consisted of shares on the fnme-tie-,iiiess at Milan, and in respect to 3'X) others, of the produce of certain duties on the [ navigation of the Rhilie. The Committee also stated, that the department of the Royal HousehoLl was erop:oyed ilr gr.:ming relief to the petitioners, await ing in the meanwhile the execution of the Treaty, in what relates to the dotations of dividends on the Mock of Milan, or the interpretation of the 29th Ar ticle of the Congress of Vienna. He proposed that the Petition be remitted to the Department of the Royal Htoseholtl. Several voice'—to the W,r Department. Pittauzsz— The sante petition has already been addressed to the Minister at War, and 114 S retur ned on the remit of that Minister. The remit to the Department of the Household was ordered. M.

Joust, a lawyer of Paris, presents a plan for bringing into the Treasury 200 millions, witlluutl burthening the people, by rendering certain public otters hereditary and irremovable, and making the titulars pay a certain sum.—Order of the day. There was another petitiqn from the royal volun- 1 teers of the School of Law at Paris, reminding the' Chamber that on the first news of Bonaparte') my*. 'ion the School of Law had distinguished itself by its sentinients. A number of the pupils enrolled them. selves, and part followed the King to Ghent. These young men now claimed that the promise be kept with them that was made in the plan of a resolution presented to the Chamber of Deputies on the 18th of March, but which disastrous events prevented from receiving the plan cf a law. Thty pray the Cham ber that the time spent by them under arms may be countrel as so much time of study, &c. The Com mittee received this petition with lively interest, and proposed that it should be sent to the Minister of the Interior. M. HYDE DE NEUVILLE. — " I was waiting only for the report, in the name of the Comtnitteee, on the proposition of M. Michaud, to remind you and all France of the ardour displayed by the youth of the School of Law in the service of the country. At Ghent their zeal was unquestionable. As often as a mission took place for the Wet or for Normandy, these brave young men emulously presented them selves. I support their petition." M. MARCELLAL—The claim of these law pupils is undoubtedly one of the most interesting that can be presented. They were the noble companions of the legitimate Sovereign: let not their reward be-lost. M. PUYVERT was of the same opinion, and re minded the Chathber that M. Drouot, the worthy chiet of these pupils, had just obtained the command of a regiment of the royal guards ; that several of the students had entered it, is order to continue under his orders. M. PASQUIER" I have remarked in the petition a circumstance that demands consideration. I am quite of opinion that they should be allowed every exemption in point of time and money ; but they claim also to be authorized to support only two theses, and consequently to be dispensed from examinations; this is impossible s those acquainted with the schools of law know that the theses are nothing, and the examinations every thing." M. PARDISSUS was of the same way of thinking. They might be dispensed in point of time, but not of knowledge. The petition was sent to the Minister at War. The ether petitions presented, were of little inte rest. The order of the day, on the ground of the law of amnesty, was passed to on twelve of these petitions, of which the prayer walk to confiscate the property of Bonaparte's, family, and make the guilty pay the expences of tha war. In the Chamber of Peers on the 13th iascant, a re-1 solution was adopted, intreating the King to, direct' that a monument should be elevated in his name, and at the expense of the nation, SQ the memory of Louis the Quees l / 4 Marie Antoinette, and Madame .
