Hostecc WALPOLL—The new edition of the Let ters of this celebrated man, addressed to George Montagu, Esq. will be lead with increased pleasure, on account of the restoration of the names of all the celebrated personages alluded to. Ir has - been justly observed by the Quarterly Reviewers, that, • 44 The Letters of Horace Walpole are master-pietei In their way ; that in which they shine unrivalled, is their accurate'rea ifction of the passing scenes of each day, pointed by remarks viv idly witty and sarcastic. A new Democritus seems to have 'm owed the pen to sneer at the grave follies of the human species. .Th e var iety of these Letters, as well as their peculiar and lively 'fiction renders them very entertaining, and as the correepon. dan,"'"-„ vi ieuda from 1736 to about 1770, it embraces nsany chan ,,,i, o f w ale both political and fohionable. The narratives of „L is: tole historical events told without the fOrm of his , vi ,g, with those circumstances which add an interest and authe i; s ii ty histt.ry dignities,lnd fastidious as Walpole win:times disc ards too readily, come upon us unex -0'•"' ge o f . novelty and veracity which rr,zoinds us ony of an eye-witness. We should look MO f bar uter as those which our intact .-t.te • • • PLANDMS , AWL• - - - • mint, nsittriipt . , r The of fi cers who have been.* tong, imptisojeed, land whtiware implicated in thetougamcy of Lacy, Renovates, and Porlier, crib at last -be brought to trial, which they have constantly solicited, but have not till now been able to obmin. Among' them are several brave officers, who haie more, than once shed their blood in the field of honour, in defence of their country. There is reason to hope that this conside ration, and the long . confinement which they have suffered, even supposing that their coUdnct has not been free from reproach, will have great•weight with tbe tribunals before which they will be tried. As for the plot at Valencia, we learn that several in dividuals who were arrested at the beginning have been set at liberty, but that there is still a considera ble number in the prisons of that city. The Govern ment continues to observe a profound silence on the' , situation of our Colonies ; we no more know what is] passing in Peru, Chili, and Mexico, what General Morino is doing, than if those vast and rich coun tries hid no connection with the Mother Country. Even The commercial letters are rare and insignifi- cant ; in the last of them there is a tone of uneasiness little - calculated to inspire confidence. We have the cruel certainty that several vessels laden with troops and arms for America, and others coming to Europe with rich cargoes, have been captured. Thus the merchants suffer enormous losses, and are in conti nual anarchy. VIENNA, FEBRUARY 0. Field-Marshal Baron Koller, who accompania Napoleon from Fontainebleau to Elba,, has arrived here flow Italy. . Accounts from Rome say, that by virtue of a com mission which Cardinal Fesch has received from St. Helena, Madame Letitia Bonaparte has sent thither a complete set of plate, and other" ornaments neces sary fur a chapel, the vaitm of v.litcrl is estimated at many thousand scucli. Two Ecclesiastics, one of whom is invested with the dignity of a Bishop, as well as a cook, and another servant, are also said to hare departed to St. Helena. It is Added, all this is, done w►tth the approbation of the rope. I ari styrisiessi receded, by several days) • the Abe spisosea in this House: ; • CHAT itbk bP DEPUTIES. SITTIPO OP THE SD. • The Chamber for Med itself into a Secret Commit tee on the proposition of M. Lafitte. M. LAPITTB being called to the tribune, developed' his proposition for an Address to the King, praying him not to offer any, Project affecting the Law .elf Elections. He spoke of the alarms which the prop,r sition made In the Chamber of Peeri had excited; throughout France, and the injurious effect whichit had on public credit. Already petitions were poured' in against it from'all the departments; their number , is multiplying, and public opinion is loudly pro. nounced. The orator did justice to the frank and open conduct of the Ministry, in shewing their una nimous opposition to the proposition. Nothing re mained to be required of them, but that the opinime of the Chamber should be declared to all France. The resolution passed yestestlay in the Chamber of; Peers cannot be combated in the Chamber of Depu ties till after formalities which create delay. Let as not, therefore, wait these formalities ; there would be too great danger in the delay ; and since the Govern ment has done its duty, let the Deputies do theirs. The Keeper of the Seals applauded the intentions of Honourable Mover, but thought his proposi-, tion premature and unseasonable. It was, he said, more than ever necessary to observe constitutional forms in a case like the present. The Resolution of thesChamber of Peers could not be submitted to that of the Deputies, by the 20th Article of the Charter, till after the lapse of ten days. Could the Chamber then anticipate unconstitutionally this delay, and . pronounce on a questiOn before it could legally come under its discussion? The Honourable Mover and the Chamber ought moreover to be f u lly satisfied with the solemn assurance of their hostility to this proposition, given the first moment it was presented to the Chamber of Peers. M. La 'NE, in a brilliant speech, entirely extempore, insisted first on the freedom which belongs to the Members both of the I len:ditary and Representative Ch:amber, to make all the propositions which in their 'judgment would tend to the improvement of the laws. At a time when there was such talk of the Freedom of Petitions and the Rights of Petitioners, was it not strange that an attempt should be made to deprive either of the Legislative liodies of the right of expressing its opinions? The alarms which were spoken of were vain, and the fall in the Public Funds had nothing to do with the propositiorr before the Chamber. " A nation r icher than we (said he) has seen failures multiply, and has experienced a great depression in its funds, and it is impossible that the blow should not be felt lwre in Paris as well as in other commercial cities. I should be the first de fender of the Law of Elections (added he), if it were attacked in its essence: but cannot changes be intro duced into it which circumstances have rendered ne cessary. and of which experience has shewn us the want. without affecting its fundimental piinciple? It was said lately in this Tritiune, that we ought to make a distinction in the Charter itself, between those dispositions which are fundamental and immu-' ,table in their nature, and those provision; of regula tion which thus might be modified bythe concert of the three Powers. This distinction applies a fortiori to the provisions of an organic law." " Even the full and entire execution of the funda mental article of the Law of Elections tends to assure the proposition introduced into the Chamber of Peers." Here M. Lame took a view of the modifications of which the law in question was susceptible. These were, 1. Not to consider 300 francs of direct contri bution as a qualifiCation for voting, unless the con tribution had been paid for a year before the Elec tion. 2. To make the place of Election more coir senient for the Electors, by taking the votes nearer their domiciles. But (said the enemies of these mo difications) do not interfere, for you create an alarm ever the whole of France ; Petitions daily arrive, Petitions are preparing, and thousands of citizens hasten to offer them their signature; they are awakened to the perfidious combinations of those who, having lost power in December last, wish to reseize it, and to continue their fatal projects on popular Elections.' These are Petitions then, say you! Well, what of thet ? If they are decent and legal, we shall'receive them ; we shall perhaps take them into considera tion: but this is one reason for not refusing to a De. puty the right of presenting a Petition to the King, to pray him for such modifications in the Law of Elections as may be thOught expedient. Prayers, wel are told, come from the conquered ; they are the language of weakness against the designs of force.— , Well, tnen, there would be no generosity in refusing to listen to the supplications of vanquished weak zees sighing out propositiont. There are .often in the :sighs of the dying the accents of truth, which the cur , rivers, if they are wise, should turn to their advan tage. As to the charge of perfidious combinations, 'I know. them not. I have defended, and,l shall de fend, true liberty under the shield of the Royal au thority ; and nothing shall impose silence upon me, ,or compel me to refrain from expres s i n g what the charter and my constituents have given me the right to propose , for the good of :the . thr one and of my country: He opposed the proposition of M. Lafitte. M. a DUPONT (de l'Aure) said, "Listen to the cr y natters which arises from alnarts of France against the proposed change.--see with what force and una nitnitypublic opinion declares against it- , --ask your .own consciences, if it it not true that the immense majority of the.nation supports the law of elections as it stands ; if they de not confound that law with the charter, because they find in them both the prin. 'cjple of a, representation truly national, the guarani itaasif our best institutions and our dearest liberties." !He supported the proposition of M. Lafitte. lfi. Swann said, that in his opinion no change should take place in the law of elections. , M. Mamma. directed his speech principally against that of M. Laine.

This is the'first act of *the rtvplutionists against the Charter. They wish to bring back the old Parliaments,' if it were possible.
