FRANCE. PARIS, NOVEMBER ts. - A battalion of Negroes arrived on the 4th inft. at Bourdeaux. The Minifter of his BRITANNIC MAJESTY at Vi enna, lately received intelligence, that the Engli(h fill occupy the fort of Alexandria in Egypt, and that they are taking the molt energetic meafures againft the rebellious Bey!. Foreigners who can not furnifh proofs of their being detained at Vienna by nectifary bufinets, are to remove from it. The exceffive dearnefs of provifions has rendered that meafure neceirary. At the fame time the difficulty of the fervice has given rife to an increafe of the military who form the garrifon of the city. His ImetRIAL MAJESTY left Vienna on the 2gth ult. accompanied by the GRAND DUKE CON STAN• TINS of RUSSIA, to proceed to Schlufhof, and thence to Freiburg. On the 3oth the Archduke PALATINE, with feveral members of the Hunga rian Diet, fet out from Freiburg to meet them.— The Salon of the Diet was doled the fame day, and a folemn mafs, followed by Te Dews, was chaunted upon the occafion. The Duke of MODENA has definitively accepted the Brifgaw as an indemnity for Ms Rates in Italy. The Bridal Admiralty,according to letters from Hamburgh, of the IR, have negotiated wi!h the trade of that place for goo head of cattle, half alive and half fatted. • Letters from Luxembourg fay, that the Minißer of War is going to vifit all the fottreffes of the 25th and 26th military divifions, as well as the places deained to form a military line along the left bank of the Rhine. According to the LA letters received from Gi braltar, all communication between the Spaniards and the garrifon of Gibraltar is put an end to, by orders of Madrid ; and the Commandant of fort St. Roch has been replaced, for having given rife to fufpicions of his having kept up intimate relations. with certain officers of the garrifon of Gibraltar.. The Tuni fian Envoy arrived at Lyons on the sth, with a train of five carriages, on his way to Paris. It is pofitively aliened that Awl/ s REDING, that violent apoftle of the Bernefe oligarchy, 'nu left Switzerland with the intention of going to Spain ; and that AUFDEIMAOR, who is no lefs zealous than RIDING, for the ariftocracy of his fathers, and. the reftoration of the old regime in Ssitzer land, has gone to Naples. Thus are there two fire brands lefs in Switzerland, and two additional res Eons for the outcries of the Englith Journalifts. Five per cents 53 fr. 90 c. DUETTE, Nov. i r.—The Film. Cow sot., in com ing to this place, breakfafted at Fecamp, where he found the Clergy in the midil of an immenfe crowd, fmging Te Desna for the Anniverfary of the 08th Brumaire. The inhabitants of the villages, which are near the road, lined the paths ; each vil lage had its triumphal arch, and each Mayor ad tinted a fpeech to him. He did not arrive here till fix o'clock. The town was illuminated with much taste. but as the Right Hon. Gentleman who had intr.. duced the butinefs, had fo ably Rated die ground s of the re.eledion of the late Speaker, lie going into any detail on the fubjeCt. He had the greateil latisfaCtion i n d ec l ar i ng t h at his fectiment, were conformable is all relpeCts to thole now de. livered, and in now riling to feco n d t h e he was ftrongly impreired wi t h t h e i mportance of the fubjeCt under conlideration. At all times the duties delegated to a perfon who was to prelide over the deliberations of that Houle were aniatter of high importance, but under the prelnt cir euniftances this was peculiarly requilite. 'll ie honour and the dignity of the .Houle was at or.c:. concerned in foleCling a Member poireired of the qualifications to fill it with dignity and effe(s. Integrity and impartiality, connected with a jcal ous. regard fOr the rights and privileg es of the Houle, as infepatably united with the rights and privileges of the People, were the charaners and qualifications of a perfon worthy of filling th e Chair of that Houle, and fuch were di:- virtu es which the late Speaker had exercifed. If at all perhaps ofof times there qualifications were requ i fite, they were peculiarly called for at a moment when the bufinefs of Parliament was fo exten d ed, and when the fate not onlyay depend of this upon the deliberations country, *thaeEpruerfenoPet, m fellion. To fill this office with advan tage, it was hardly neceffary to fay that unrernitt:ng attention and vigilance wcre needfary—and what Member could be found more dillinguithed by there qualities than the Right lion. Member now propofed to the Houle for their choice. He ex. preffed a defire to dilate on the Right Hon. Gen. dernan's merits, but conceived this to he unneeef. fart'', as the Learned Member who preceded hini, had fn eloquently introduced the motion to the attention of the Houle. He, therefore, contented himfelf with cordially fedondioti the motion. After the Hon. Member had finifhed his fpeech, there was from all fides of the Houle a very ge. neral cry of Chair! (.Lair ! _ _ Mr. Aaron, thus called for, tore and fpoke in fubflance as follows : Grateful as I feel for one of the moll guiffied honours which it is poffible for any Mem ber of this Hotife to receive, I cannot reflect on the duties of the' important office which your fa vour calls on me to fill, without great apprehen lions of my'own inability; .and certainly the ex. perience which I have already had only increafes the force of thefe apprelicntions. To any man whom the favour of this Houfe may raife to fo dignified a fituation, it muft occur that his duty is not limited to daily and ordinary occurrences. Placed in fo elevated an office, he feels that he ought to poffefs a comprchenfion of mind embra cing every part of his extended duties, a fleadi nefs of refolution to maintain inviolate the privi leges of the Houfe, as the bell means of preferv. ins the liberties of the people ; a vigilance, ever aftive, ever ready to exert itlelf on the various and unforefeen occafions which, in the courfe of parlia mentary, proceedings, may occur. It is true, in deed, that much light is thrown on his duty from a perufal of the journals and recorded tranfaElions of the Houfe. From them he mutt neceffarily derive a large fhare' of inartidions, but there alfo he cannot fail to learn what is fo clearly marked to adminifler the oaths, &c. to the Peers prefent, among whom - were— The LORD CHANCELLOP., the Duke of Yoex, the Archhifhops of CANTERBURY and YORK., the Duke of PORTLAND, Marquis of SALISBURY, the Earls of EGRIISIONT, CHESTERFIELD, MOIRA, Maceertsty, Vifcnunts LIMERICK, WSNTWORTH, CURZON, NELSON, HOOD; the 131010 p of LONDON; LOECISWALSINGHAM,KINYON ) SIELSIAAUCKLAND, and BOLTON.
