Report of the Central Section on the projett of the law for decreeing a mark of national• gratitude to his Royal Highness the Prince of Orange : " High and Mighty Lords—Your High Mightinesses hod pressed to his Majesty in the lat extraordinary Session; the desire of giving to his Royal Highness the Prince of Orange, an osten sible mark of the sentiments of the nation towards him. Your Nigh Mightiness,., as representatives of the nation, expressed that it would be agreeable to it, to am the gratitude . and love • commemorated in.a. wirtisT manner, with which i< is a:dilated towage's a Prieto whose brave and obstinate defence of the ins.. Foram post of Quatre Bras prepared the memorable victery.of Waterloo, and who signalised *himself among all the heroes of that immortal day, by the most brilliant courage and the most distinguished talents. " His Majesty has acceded to the truly patriotic wish expressed by your High Mightinesses. The manner in winch his Majesty bed thought fit to comply with this desire, adds new motives in favour of the projet of toe law. It is in the neighbourhood of .1 be theatre of the warl.ke expllits of the Prince of Orange, and where he bad the good fortune to •.lied ha blood for the country, ti:at it is proposed to your High Mightinesses to offer him a pa '.ace and a suitable domain. " Such a project of a law is of a nature not only to receive general assent, but to be welcomed with uuiversel joy. The Chamber of the Central Sectio:i leave bad occasion to convince themselves of it in the different Sections ; and they do not doubt but that will adopt the proposed law." We have received the Paris Papers of Sunday, Monday, and Tuesd..y. The Budget came on on Saturdays but we cannot possibly enter into the detail, as it occup►es four columns of the Moutteur of Sunday. The eicape of LAVALZTTh gave rise to a spirited debate in the Chamber of Deputies, which term'. rated in the appointment of a Committee 10 inquire and report. • LAVALICTTIL himself has not been taken.

It is said that Lavalette, in order the more securely to elude all pursuit, has put on a foreign uniform, and, under this disguise, he will endeavour to get out of France. Some of the clerks in the Post-office will be dis missed—among those are Mons. Courrejol, who was a witness on the trial of Lavalette, and Messrs. Dan. court, fatherand ion. They write from St. Maloes, that an adventurer who called himself the Dauphin of France, has been mrestedby the Police. . M. Dupuis, the Judge of Instruction, yesterday commenced proceedings against those who have fad i. litated the escape of Lavalette. The first esasnina tion lasted from eight iu the evening until two o'clock iu the morning. CHAMBER OF•DEPUTlES.—Pitotestotwoo •r SATURDAY. AYNAIIt 01 LAVALSTIII. ' • • . The Order of the Day having called up M. de SestaaisOof• to develope his proposition relative to M. Lavaleue's escape, that Gentleman spoke as follows : ....# 46 The want of necessary iaformation which ought To be transmitted, to which are superadded motives of the highest interest and of the utnier4 importance, determine me to adjourn my proposition until next Tuesday. I therefore ask leave to speak again ou hat day." . M. EUENNE FEITILLANI g i As it is very interest.- i: , g to the Chamber to be made acquainted with the _ _ circumstances of Lavalette's escape, I think we may take up Cie matter at present. The Chamber is Fay wet to take into consideration the motion of M. de Sesmaisons. I appeal to your standing orders la support of my motion. When we arrived, France .vas in consternation, your attitude, your saints:l tliergy revived her. I regret that circumstances still t list to compel you to display those qualities. I adopt not only M. de fsesmaisone motion, but I insist upon the discussion commencing instantly." A debate then ensued on the question. whether a discussion could be entered upon if the Member pro plsing it should decline to move for it ? M. de Ses. maiwas put an end to die dispute by formally making 1,3 motion. " Gen down," be observed. ".a great C3ademned criminal Isai_escaped..from punishment.

Wherefore this delay Was the. flight of tavaletie the consequence or the effect of a plot ? Were all . Recesiaty precautions taken ? Why was the execution so long delayed ? According to the laws, the gaoler ought to have laid his bands on the cri. mina!, and never quitted hipi day nor night. Did Lavalette obtain from Royal authority or from jus. tice, so long a time to prepare for death ? When France expected his punishment, when a Marshal of France had forfeited his life for his treason, ought we not to accuse the fatality which saved his accomplice It is the interest of France herself that we should be amply informed on this subject. Let us ask infor mation from the Ministers themselves, and their re. sponsibility will thus be shewn. M. de Bouviu.p.—" Every -thing concurs to in. ' duce us to regard this escape as the effect of a plot. A state criminal is_the subject of our debate, and a criminal not thought worthy of the Royal clemency. .Ptristio vengeance awaited him:: He was almost up. s det the very superintendency of two of the King's Ministers; yet they would make us believe that he escapecl by one of those coarse and vulgar tricks which would not deceive an intant f It is well known that the Conciergerie is the securest of prisons. In order . tO go out or in, it is necessity to pais the gaolers, turnkeys, and to lower one's head, in passing through several of the wickt.is. Tins short, fat man, then, Whited in the dress of a delicat and slender female, how could he avoid the looks of the attendants, without corpulent ,! . ..tt:ting their notice, and his sobbing* I , •trayit Lis voice ? :And yet a solitary turnkey is suip,%:ted! It is im 'possible tot to see in the-whole ho*i: . ..ss the execution 014 premedi:atee plan for , If we after wards take a view of the circumstances outside of the 'prison; this man must have "art so many accom plices that they are to be dreaded, since they were powerful enough t 6 effect his es.: ipe. I now come to the circumstances which are ti.e basi, of iheinotion about to be made. the name of Layalette was to the first hat the °Onus:lance of t h e 21.tii of July-- he was in proion-..he ought to have been immediately tried. This was not 41 ae—six weeks elapsed-he was taken from the Council ..f War, to be tried at the Court of Assize. H13..q peJI is rejected by the Coon of Cassation, and the ju:i!;zneut ought to have been executed within twenty.f. r outs. " The whole procedure. ought not to have taken op twenv days, and fie: it lasted eleven days more.— Wa•arv- assured that this procedure was kept in the office of the tdihister of Justice much longer than it ought to have been. This system of delay is unac countable. The fact relative to his being kept in custody ought to be examined with attention. An ihscure criminal escaped the night before, and the gaoler was neither arrested nor changed: nay, to this very man the custody of Lavalette is entrusted. " The precautions taken with respect tohiarshal Ney may be regarded as having been even super fluous. He was at least as great a conspirator as La valette,nay, in my npinion,the firmer was the greater. le Who are the authors of' this plot, then ? The veil must be stripped off. The Miniiters ought to desire it, as will as we ourselves, for their own sakes. • 4 I demand that• the Chamber shall appoint a Committee to enquire fully into every circumstance connected with Lavalette's escape." M. BELLAUT defended himself and colleagues from the charge of delay. He said that it was impossible to proceed more quickly, from the somber and im. portance of the pleas put in by the prisoner. M. JOLLivAT contended that the Chamber bad no right to interfere with the Ministers, and that it rested with the King only to punish his servants for re. miuness. 14. KERGORLAY supported the motion of M. de SOUtiIiSON. M. de VAUBLANC supported M. Bellart's arguments, and called for the Order of the Day. M. de BOURDZAVX thought the Chamber had no righno interfere, as the whale was a matter of police. After a sisarp debate the ihotionof M. de Sesmii• sous was adopted. PARIS, DECEMBER RS. His Majesty, we are sorry to say, has at present a vary bad cold. Yesterday his Majesty chewed himself at the bal -00149 attended by the Count d'Artois ; the most lively acclamations minded his appearance, and the shoots of Pitts k Ro ! Phu,: les Bourion: I were a thousand times repeated. His Majesiy afterwards held a Privy Council, which broke up at two o'clock. when his Majesty took an airing in his carriage till four. The midnight mass was celebrated in the Chapel Royal at the Palace according to the ancient • usage. The Procurear.General has examined Madame Lavaktte several times. Madame Lavalette is confined in the Arne cham ber at the Conciergerie which her husband tied:pied. The keeper and heed turnkey of the prison ate still ditained at the prefecthre of the Police.

The headquarters or the Austrian General, Fria month are expected to be at Calmat on the Ist of Jattuaty. The he'ad•quarters of the Russian troops are about to be transferred to Maubeuge. Letters from Cologne say, that the Wife of die late Spanish General Porlier has become deranged, and that the General's sine* has died through gtief at his death. The Austrians have evacuated Lyons. The mail and several private carriages have beeno robbed by brigands on the road to Roquefort. Se veral perscias have bean arressed on suspicion. A superb monument is to be erected to the she. mory of Louis XVI. in the cemetery of La Made leine. The Count du Vaublanc is Muth occupied in makingimportant arrangernepts in the department of the Ministry of tte Interior. It is said the Journal, enticed the rid& Asei do Roi, has been suppressed tot printing two different editions. A new work in two volumes, entitled, " Histoiy of the Process against Marshal Ney," has been seized by the Police the moment it was published. 'rbe Duke of Wellington is expected to pass a few ay' at Brussels early in the ensuing month, from Whence he will proceed to London to pay hiS respects to the Prince Regent, and arrange some private af fairs, and return to his head-quarters at Cambray be fore the Ist of February. The English general head-quarters will beat Cam bray, the Russian at Maubeuge, the Austrian at Cole -mart, the Bavarian at Nancy, the Wurtemburg at Wissembourg, and the Prussian head-quarters most probably between Maubeuge and Nancy. The daughter *hi servant of Madame Lavalette arc detained in the prison of Madelonettes. A great number of factious persons are daily at rested at Guadeloupe. The andie UAW& of yesterday contains several dispositions relative to the regulations for the Prevo. tal Courts. We hear great part or the British armyfeave Paris for Cambray on ruesday next. PARIS, DECEMBER QC The budget has at length been submitted to the Chambers ; it did not create much discussion, bot' !rats adopted without any of that financial which generally precedes the adoption of such a mo. don in England. The budget for 1816 is fixed at 800 millions for the receipts and expenses in full. That for 1815 has been 814 millions receipts, and 945 millions expenses. We rather think the demand upon the nation has been something less than was expected: we hope the Minister will not have to ask for more before the end of the year; the estimated expenses are frequently exceeded. The Duke of Wellington gave yesterday a grand dinner to about sixty Noblemen and Gentlemen : the party did not break up till an early hour. The disbanding of the Ex-Guard is now wholly terminated; these troops have conducted themselves in the best manner during the whole of the proceeding. The National Guard of Nantes is now completely organized, they have been reviewed, and have taken, the oath of fidelity to the King. Most of the Brunswick troops are now at Brussels. A Protestant Church has been established at Ge. neva by the English. Many of tub divisions of German troops are ins peded in their march, by reason of the ice. The Meuse is impassable. Marshal Soult and General Vandamme are Said to be at Brussels, waiting for an opportunity of pass ing over to the United States. What a delectable set of men are about to become worthy citizens. A dreadful explosion of a magazine of powder took place at DAnszic on the Bth instant ; a great part of the city is laid in ruins, and upwards of - SOO persons were killed, the wounded must amount to four times that number. His Majesty held a grand levee yesterday, which !vise attended by all the Foreigners of distinction now , in . Paris. The barriers of Lille, that were shut to prevent the passage of the Allied troops through the city., have been thrown open. A man has been an ested at Avignon, accused of being the author of several disturbances : the mob at tempted to set him at liberty in defiance of the orders of the Prefect, who was so justly incensed against them that he lelt the city ; however a deputation has since waited upon him to request that he would again take them under his protection, and giving the strongest assurances of an implicit obedience to his commands. Near the bridge of Serin o at Lyons, the ice, by the force of the current, has destroyed vessels and pro perty to the amount of 150,000 francs. Is there no way of guarding against such accidents? The arrival of the Austrian Archdukes Joint and Lawis, on Tuesday night at Brighton, was the com• roencement of the Christmas festivities at tie Pavi lion, with an invitation to several distinguished per sons to dinner. Every thing ,was in readiness at Windsor the be. ginning of this week, to receive the Paincass C/iAa• LOTTa, who was expected from Weymouth, when an account was received that she WAS indisposed— Dr. BAILLIa was immediately dispatched t 9 attend =her 4 , 14 Highness. • tAtAA R. . This stablishdeat la, we find, in a greater slat: of fotwarddess that' . we imagined, when we noticed it•in.onr Columns yesterday. In our front page is a Notice Wm the Landlord, announcing that the B itaar is about to he ripened. We have already . state our opinion that such an Establishment cannot fail, under proper management, to confer an essen tial benefit on a numerous prirtion of the ennunimitys To ti great encouragement of female and domestic industry, by the singular accommodatiotts which such an arrangement affords, immense ambers are ena bled ed Aisemble under the same roof. to sell on their own account, and to acres agents for per sons at a distance, whose united stock must form an attractSse ' display of great variety, however small 40e share each individual may contribute to the whole ;—and their combined and separate efforts to Wain the fa milial the public and their respective must create a powerful patronage--Advant;:ges which all equally enjoy, and such as wit' afford the if.dus.rions, even of the slenderest means, a re.lsonAbi.r nape to thrive; reduced tradesmen to rectv.er their er.dit and connt-sions ; beginners to farm Irk .1, and ha 'bits before they venture upon more e z tens' ve spe.:tt lations ; and artists, affirms, and em ployed at hot*, though infirm and tesident i!, :he countty, securely and beneficially ti vend the ;no , duce of their labour by proxy.

We hate said that, under proper management, such an Establishment cannot tail to confer essential benefits. We may on this head premise ourselVes much ; for we observe that the Notice referred to is. issued from No. 5, Soho-square. Of course we have a right to conclude that the public are not only in debted to Mr. TROTTEIt fer contriving and ~reanOlg the Bazaar, but that it will be carried on under his own eye. It needs nothing else to give it stability, and to insure its proving a source sof incalculable be nefits, as a new lever in the engine of British Politi cal economy. A'APAL INTELLICENCE. H.
