Though the commencement of the Diet gave reason to expect some oficialarticles, the fastidintio Mono tony of its operations continots to fatigue us. From the sth to the Ilth there was no Sitting, but as some conapensation to the Envoys, M. Buol gave three grand dinners and a ball. There was, indeed, matter for rejoicing, for in the opening speech it was laid down'as *principle, that there should be • xio Federative State in Germany, .but merely a Ontfederation of equally independent States-I—. By this arrangement, the hopes of the nation are irretrievably extingtiished ; for who does not see the remit which , must follow t Three things are now . no longer doubtful—lst, That • the influence of the Diet in the affairs of Germany will prove of very little weight 2d, That the welfare of the several . States will in future depend only on the wisdom of their respective Governments, for those who may SOW look forward to changes in the system of reeog. nixed Sovereignties, mast greatly deeeive themselves That foreigners may be perfectly tranquillized' respecting German politics. There is no longer any seal union, and the twenty . German Governments will rapidly acquire private juterests which will go . • wern their relations with foreign countries, astd to particular, with France. FROM A SWISS PAPER. Some German manufacturers have formed the re solution of inviting the Diet assembled at Frankfort to propose to their respective Sovereigns the esta blishment of a continental system, and to close the European Continent to English manufacturers. In order to procure partisans, they send round circulars every where, and have particularly invited the Swiss merchants to make common cause with them. These good people seem to be ignorant that free trade is the permanent motto as well as safeguard of Switzerland ; and that it is only to secure that freedom that Swit zerland would ever be induced to exert all its means; that it is with that view she has actually sent a De putation to Paris, and that she never will engage in web a foolish enterprise as that of endeavouring to exclude England front the market of Europe. The present crisis of commerue has other causes than any share that England may take in it, and requires other remedies duos prohibitions. FJM?rCE. PRIVATE LETTER. 64 PARIS, WOV. 23. What now forms the conversation of every sale" at Paris, is the vehement dispute that took place, alter dinner at the British Ambassador's, between M. PAS. quier, President of the Chamber of Deputies, and the Prince de T4lleyrand. Among the English, Lord Mansfield, Mr. Tierney, Mr. Canning, and Mr. So merville, (Privy Council), were present. Contrary to his usual discretion. he omitted no opportunity of sa tirizing ate Ministry, and the whole system of the Government. The conversation at last became more direct, when M. de Talkysand declared that the in fluence employed in the elections was an affront offered to the nation, and that the Minister of the Interior should be the only Minister through whom the King should communicate his sentiments. M. Pasquier replied, that every Minister was nominated by his Majesty. The Prince then attacked the functions of some of the moat important, and concluded with ob servations reltectiog on the Sovereign himself— Le ilei I too enjoyed 11 1 / 1 anontles since his. con& dente, but who can count on its duration ?' M. Pas qttier then called his carriage. • a The Due de is Cbatre, First Gentleman of the Chamber, addressed yesterday evening the following Letter to M. de 'l'alleirand Bia—la consequence of the pub& conversation which you lsld Ub the Preeldem of the Chamber of Deputies in the helm of 1M Ambassador of a Forage Power, I intern you that his Pdelisty bas ordered me so amity to you. that you need not again pawn yourself at Coen." All parties agree in one thing, which is., that the house of the British Ambassador was not the proper place for such a discussion, unless it can be :opposed that he is supported by the English Court."

CHAMBER OF:PEIRS• SITTING OF THE 2Sp oo IROVESHIEE. The Chamber opened at two o'clock.—Tbe Doke of Rohan was admitted, and took the accustomed oath. The annual account of the Commission of Surveil. lance of the Sinking Fund was given by M. Ville. tansy. Peer of France. After the report, another of the Commissioners, M. Pardemus, proceeded to the reading of his part of the report. The Chamber ordered the accounts given by the Commission of Surveillance of the Sinking Fund to be printed. Count Cane!aux paid a just tribute of praise and regret to the memory of Count Espinasse, one of the members of the Chambers, who died in thobeginning of last- week: The Chamber ordered his discourse to be printed. • The Chamber took into considemtion the proposi tion of a Member for the formation of a Provisional Bureau. A Member made a proposal of presenting an Ad. dress to the King, to entreat his Majesty to cause an examination to be made of the circumstances which passed at the last elections, in order to ordain imme diately according as justice demanded. The Chamber did not think it proper to attend to this ptoposition.—Adjourned to Tuesday next. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. SITTING OF TIM 23D OF NOVEMBER. M. PAIIIIIIZR, PrellidNlG Te Chamber opened at half.past twelve.—The names of several Petitioners were read.—Referred to the Committee of Petitions. _ _ The PRESIDSNT then informed the House, that the Directors and Adminiitrators of the Sinking Fund demanded to present to the Chamber the details of their labours since their installation. Count VILLIMANIM one of the Administrators, as• cenaed the Tribune. He began by making an histo rical detail of the sinking fund since the year 1749, an epoch at which a virtueus Minister caused a sinking fund to be created, the original rhoughtof which was doubtless good, but in whose organization it had not been thought of to call the future to the assistance of the present time, to assure the independence of the establishment, and to guarantee its inviolablity in ouch a manner that the Sovereign would find it impossible to render it illusory. This fund received new attri butions under the reign of an unfortunate Monarch, who began by abolishing slavery and the torture, and who every day meditated upon new measures for the glory sad prosperity of France. The centralization of the power of the 18th Brumaire appeared favours. ble.to this fund; but it soon became evident that every thing conspired against this essential point. It was given to believe that considerable sums were in the chest—but it was not also made public that they were taken out as soon as put in, at the will and caprice, and for the interest of tyranny':— , The Reporter here drew a line between the difference of this fund, such arwhen first created, and such es it was established by the law of the 28th of last April. He afterwards proposed different methods of ame lioration, and concluded thus Nothing is useful which is not honourable. The fortune of the State is composed of the fortunes of individuals : the sink. ing of the public debt should be the sole object of this lund ; and it should never be left to be employed at the impulsion of the Ministers of Finance, of whom it ought ever to be independent. In fine, this fond is established more in the interest of the creditors of the State than in that of the Royal Treasure." The Count Villemanzy concluded his report in presenting , the results of the operations of this fund during his . Institution in office. M. Prsr, another of the administrators to the fund, succeeded to the tribune, and mad the second part of the report, which consisted chiefly in an account of depots and consignations, and the project of the esta blishment of a separate fund. The reading of the second part of the report being *dished, the Midister of the Interior was introduced, accompanied b 7 Messrs. FAVRE and 81111101 1 Coast. eiders of State. The Minister asaeaded thstribane and spoke as fol. lows .- 4 6 Gentlemen, the law which we have come to present to you by the King's order, regulates the competence of the Chamber of Peers, and its form of proceeding in Judiciary Court. It is nearly . a literal copy of. the resolution adopted by the Chamber of Peers in the SessiOn4 - 1815, and presented before the Chamber of DePtatiei. It would be superfluous hire .to explain the motives of this law, which are suffi ciently developed in the report of the Commissioa to the Chamber of Peers, and in the different opinions of the Membeii. We shall therefore confine, our selves to laying before you the tut of the project of the law which we bare the honour to present to you. “ Louts, &e. . , GI We are informed AIM is dm last &mien $ Ileseistios moo taken by the Chamber of Peers to petition for the prepaid's of a law tending to decennia, the emnpetence of the said Chamber.

The Reporter of the Committee of Petitions pre sented a long list of petitioners; whose several cases he gave in brief after the name, and propcised that they should be referred to the several departments of office which they concerned : among other petitioners we *Nerved the creditors of Lord Barrington, who died at Valenciennes, leaving behind some Dosatisfied creditors, who now petition the Chamber fos the in- iervention of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, to pro pose their just claims to the English Minister in order that the debts due to them may be paid by the heirs or friends of the deceased Lord Barrington. The Reporter, on animadverting on this case, declared it his opinion that it would never be in vain an appeal to the loyalty of the English Nation and Government, especially as the foundation of their debts was folly attested and confirmed. This Petition was refaced to the Minister for Foreign Affairs. After the Reporter of the Petitions had finished the reading of the list of Petitioners, M. Angier and M. Dupleis de Mesy, were admitted, and took the usual oaths. The PRIMMEST then informed the House, that they were about to name Commissioners from each Bu. rem, to form a commission charged to make the re port on the Budget. The Chamber, he said, had not decided the numbOr :—Bhoold there be named one or two for each Bureau ? The Chamber decided that two Commissioners should be named from each Bureau to present the Report of the discussion of the Budget. The Chamber then decided, on the proposition of the President, that the Burman should assemble on Moolty, at one o'clock, for the nomination of these Commissioners.
