After discussing these two questions, the Committee has examined ano ther of a higher nature, with respect to the Constitu tional Charter. The defenders or the partial renewal say, that liberty is better preserved by frequent elec tions. The defenders of the integral renewal answer, that it is the only means that can shew the desire and the wish of the whole nation. After maturely examiaieg and discussing these two opinions, the Committee has thought that the le - ,egral renewal was to be preferred. It has nor founded its decision merely on the motive; that have just been mentioned: it has considered the question in higher and more important lights--the en act:neut of the laws, the stability of institutions, the ad vantages which weutd reselt From it to the Government ' , f the King, to the public repose, and the happiness of the French, for the enactment of tlle laws. With a par tial renewal, it will be difficult to attain the necessary improvements in the legislation. The stability of the laws and institutions.—lnstitu tions should be adapted to the character of the people that receive them, and the permanence of public bodies, or their longer duration, establishes better the fixedness of doctrines, and the permanency of the law); besides, the Government is freer in its means, it is stronger when it has around it for years those with whom, or in whose presence it can discuss the great interests of the State. By a partial tenewal, the public administration, - less sure of the future situation in which new elections may place it, loses its activity because it loses its confidince in its own duret ion. • After maturely considering these two questions, the Noble Marquis (owed the example of England, which / a century assn, adopted a bill which has so much - aria= logy with the project now laid before the Chamber. . Coming to the sttc.nge;t objection, that of the-Char ter, M. de Pastoret demonstrated, that there are in that constitutional act regulatory articles. He concluded by declaring, that the House was unanimously of opinion, that the project should be adopted.

Some account of this bridge, which has bPen doomed to destruction at no vet y distant period, may not be on interesting. Of the antiquity of the timber bridge, about which so much difference of opining. prevails, we will say nothing, but descend at o.ce to the time of William the Conqueror, who, in A.D. 1067, in his charter to Sr. Peter's, Westmnqer, gave to the monks the 13ntol.ph-gate, with a what f at I:ead of London bridge. In the year 1136, by a fire which began in the house of one Aileward, near Lon. ion Stone, and burnt , east to Aldgate, and west to St. Arkensvald's Shrine, the bridge of timber was ;ready damaged. It was however repaired; for, according to Fitz Stephens, during the reign of Henry 11. pastimes were spewed on the river, and were viewed from' the bridge by multi tudes of spectators. Peter, of Colchurch, a monk, and celebrated archi tect, having, in 1163, new-made London bridge with timber, as before, in thirteen years afterwards, namely, in 1176, the bridge, in consequence of the great traffic over it, and constant beating of the surge below, was Icauid to' be so much out of repair, that it was deter mined to erect a new bridge of stone, and the abilities of the Reverend Peter were again called into action.— The new bridge was erected something more We.a than the old one; it occupied thirty-th:ee years in building, and was finished in 1209,. under the superintendance of Serb Mercer, William Aladin, and Benedict Boteright, merchants, principal masters.' Father. Peter having been gathered to his fathers four years before, king John, in the seventh year of his reign, granted the custody of the new bridge to Friar West. In seventy years after, however, namely, in the ninth of Edward I. this stone bridge became ruinous, and that 'monarch gave his letters patent to enable the citizens to receive contribu tions from his loving subjects towards its repairs. In the reign of Henry 111. the Batons of Lond-Jn I joined Simon de Montford in his' rebellion, which so ! enraged that Monarch,. that after having defeated the rebels at Evesham, he punished the Citizens by taking Ifrom them London bridge, and its liberties. On the 110th of July, 1212, a dreadful foe happened at each end of London bridge, and three thousand persons loft dteirlives. In 1 1 2112, five of the arches were broken ,down,*and carried away by a severe irost and heavy snow. At this time the footpaths were extremely I narrow, and the whole a:ci: so contracted, that the pas `sagtover was dangerous ; the briLige was only coped at each side, yet it is st;led, that on St. George's Day, 1395, there was a great lusting held on'Landim !midge, between David, Earl el Crafc:4, in Scotland t and Lord Wells, of England, when,' in the third course, Lord : Yells win home oar Of his saddle.

Ia the - year 1410, Jack Cade, .with his rebelli% oils-followers, was defeated . On the bridge by the loyal Citizens of Loam • „In 1171, Thomas, the bastard of fauconbridge; . burned the gate, and all the boosts on the' bri'dAet' thirttert in number. • On the 7th of .Fe bruary;ls6.s; Sir Thomas Wyatt, 'and , ebe if enii4h - men, e!hantin inisitreetiott against Queen Mary, attacked ate bridge, but it was to resolutely defended by ihe..Citi-. zens, that, after three days, be was oblir;cd to retire.— The length of the present structure is 1,200 feet; it had 'mom Yule iTOILL His Ercellency the Minister of War is having com parative trials ninde at Toulouse, Doaay, Metz, and Strasburg, between the English, French, and modiFied English system of attii,ery, with the view o; adopting that which shall appear to produce the greatest advnr.- tage in war.

The Berlin Papers reran the following :—The widow of a public functionary of this city lost a favourite dog, which died some weeks ago. She wished to have it in terred in the tomb of her husband, and accordingly offered Oa: churchwardens 2000 crowns for permii:.en to do so. A demand so extraordinary alas of. course refused. She then obtained, at a considerable expense, leave to bury her defunct friend in the garden of one of her neighbours. Before the funeral ceremonies were per formed, she had him laid out in a mahogany coal:), t!;e head crowned with myrtle, and covered with a robe e f satin, decorated with lace, to tae admiration of the cu rious, to whom, as they approached, she caused cake and wine to be distributed. This strange occurrence collected such crowds of people, and thetumult became so great, that the intervention of we police became nc- Cess4ry, who were obliged to have recourse to arms before they could restore quiet And peace.
