SIMON AIM STlllVDEommaonday a t h e alai tv e bate this day given the remainder of the debate the French Chamber of Deputies, on the law to :T arot crimes against the State, by arresting the onquents. Several proposed amendments were all lerat i s ed, and the law was finally carried by a strong cs i l iuy-119-1. to 58. o n the following day, Tuesday last, the Chamber ) 1 Deputies heard the Report of the Committee upon Ilse for fixing the punishment in various cases of .ej i t i on . Baron PASQUIZR made the Report, which en in favour of the law. Some amendments were wpn ied, one of which was for subjecting offenders, p ,:(rtain cases, to transportation. The consideration ;: -.ls was fixed for the Mt. In the mean time the Ministers are pursuing a line ,; conduct calculated to inspire confidence among the Wends of order throughout the Departments. No. can be conceived more insulting to any govern. Want elan to see its avowed enemies wearing the 0 . 4 4 es and insignia of discarded authorities, and to i r j its authority counteracted by the subordinate i6a.i:es. None but a mere sophist will, for a ,icgle moment, contend that the continued wearing if the tri.coliured cockade is not an evidence of disloy. thy to the reigning dynasty,and negligence in the bnp• wession of seditious movements a proof of disatec ion on the part of the public Authorities wherever ;his is rendered manifest. The new War Minister, n punish those who eat the bread of the public and , et continue to make a patade of their treason by rearing the tricoloured cockade, has issued orders . hat all Officers so conducting themselves shall be lisznibsed from the service : and the Minister of the lus adopted measures for having all ineifi. seat M tristrates removed from their office, and re. iactd by men who shall put the laws in force against ransgresssor s. TLC friends of anarchy may clamour as much as hey will Against such proceedings 1 but those who igh for ueace and good government will-not sympa. ,hire with them in their wailings lind lamentations. the contrary, they will hail with approbation a .stem which promises protection and safety to quiet ad to subjects—a system which sufficiently desig. men who alone can incur its punishments -is will they fail to contrast it with the arbitrary pro. ?dugs of the now subverted Government, against c'ose rapacity and tyranny virtue Itself could fur. nish no shield. Bo: while we maintain that the French Govern. sent ought to possess such power as shall cause it , o be feared by evil doers, let us hope that this power rill never be so employed as to alarm the virtuous!' t is uodeniable that in the South melt pretending to ,ct by powers derived from the Government, have persecuting and murdering their fellow subjects or holding particular religious opinions. If they did with the connivance of the Government, the Go • 7:rtitnent is already devoted to destruction--and the , 30ner the better ; but, on the other hand, if the perpetrators or abettors of these massacres had no :uclt authority, it is incumbent on the Government, now that it has obtained sufficient power, to manifest Is innocence by bringing these men instantly to ...mice. The Government has no choice but either conks its participation by passing over these sit rmines, or proving its purity by punishing the rretches who have dared to use its name in the per ntration cf the foulest crimes. CHAMBER OF PEERS, OCTOBER 24. The Chamber assembled at one o'clock, under the 'resident, M. D'Aeibray. 1 he C-mmisai.n charged with the examination of Pr 'yet of the Law relative to the Court of Ac cents not having finished their report, the Chamber ?as occupied until five o'clock, when it adjourned Matters of mere arrangement for the dispatch of :;iness. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES—OCTOBER 14. PA!'4I:IER ascended the Tribune :—Gentlemen, Bure us and your Central Commission have nu awed with the most scrupulous attention the Project .Law relative to cries, discourses, printed *arks, ;. 1 ' , tiler seditious acii , ns. We have been seconded ttur labours by the Keeper of the Seals, who has -44,141 y aided us with his intelligence. The Re. "zt which I have the honour to make to you is the 'oak of a pro', nged examination. It is impossible It nit to furnish you, as I could wish, with every 'mg !ominous wkich arose in that discussion : I shall adeavour, however, to withhold nothing likely to intr. I st you. Two capital distinctions exist in the means afforded Y the laws for repressing crimes and Mick. Crimes re pun's:able by criminal justice, the sentences of are passed by the Courts of Assize or Special "its. Delicts are repressed by the Correctiend the Action of which certainly has at least the iarrit of rapidity. As to the Special Courts, th y 'resent no guarantee, kss et more, than the Cuurts i tssizer or the award s of lusies. The Bteci.l dantie can only be preferred In oil, easel is require spe*dy justitt s but this ai it really nut attained by them. They must, in the first place, issue an atret of competenee,• Sthich is afterwards subject to be tried by the Court of Cassaiion ; so that the proce dure is rather retarded than accelerated. This con. sideration has made us eagetly desire the restoration of Prevotal jurisdictions, which are demanded by all the friends of order and public tranquillity, at least for a determinate time, and while circumstances shall require them; but great care must be taken not to render such an institution permanent. , We have received from the Keeper of the Seals an assitrAtice that the wish formed by the Bureaux has her!' approved by his Majesty, and that a law will i.e prt soured for the regulation of Prevotal Courts. In the mean time crimes within the purview of the law now proposed, shall be tried by the Courts of Assize. In the examination of the first project, every person was struck with the extreme disproportion of the punishment. All the delicts which are classified were punished uniformly with a correctional impri sonment, and fines had not even been thought of, a mode of punishment much more frightful to bad men than imprisonment. The exhibiting of the flag of revolt was assimilated to simple seditious Cries, whereas it is the most striking act of rebellion that can be committed. The crimes which form the ob jet of the present law were punished with banish. ment in the Penal Code. This punishment was illusory with respect to most of those whom the law ought to seize. It is of little importance to such wretches where they live. Driven from the kingdom by one door, they will enter by another. Your Commission has thought proper to substi tute transportation for banishment, an afflicting and infamous punishment, which in the order of punish menksoMes immediately after forced labours. It is just that those who wish to distract their country should be assembled under a distant sky, excluded for ever from their country, and the family to which they unfortunately belong. We have thought it right that by this law-project no person shall obtain his liberty on finding security : nor can there be any commutation of punishment after sentence has been pronounced : the minimum only can be allowed in any case, and the guilty shall in no case escape impri sonment. M. Dwain MAAIIOI3 then read the project of the new Laws afterwards the debate was adjourned to Friday. PARIS, OCTOBER 2S. A weaver, who was buried under the ruins at Soissons, was taken out alive, after being thirty-six hours without air, light, or food. The Journal called the Courier has been suppressed by order of the Police. A few evenings since some individuals, with the uniform of the old guard, insulted a person passing , through one of the streets, and forced hisn to repeat after, them words repugnant to the feelings of all good Frenchmen. An Austrian corps left Paris yesterday. From Amsterdam we learn, that a squadron is about to leave the Tezel, for the East Indies, con sisting of four ships of the line, a frigate, and two brigs. Before his departure from Paris, the Emperor Alexander appointed M. Balmain, the Russian Com missary, to reside at St. Helena, with Bonaparte.— All four Commissaries will meet in London imme diately, previous to their embarkation. The Austrian and Prussian Commissaries will be attended by Botanists. There are already in Paris English tradesmen of nearly every description ; tailors. boot-makers, sad lers, linen-drapers, &c. Several professors of the fancy exhibited with good success on Monday last, at Neuitly Races, and we have heard it hinted that it is not unlikely that even an English playhouse will be added to the list of Parisian amusements for the pre sent winter ! List night we received Augsburg and Nuremberg Gazettes to the 18th instant, from which we have made a variety of extracts. The Emperor of Aus- MIA has given to young NAPOLEON BONAPARTE the regiment of Huhl3ns which became vacant by the death of Count Islezarzurr. This act of putting the boy so soon upon " his high horse," seems :rather cu rious on the part of his Imperial Grandfather. The Vienna article says, that the return of the Archduke JOHN is not expected for a considerable time; his Im perial Highness, it is added, is to make a scientific SOW in England. Great preparations are making to receive the Emperor of RUSSIA on the Austrian fron tiers. The States of Hanover met on the 16th inst. on which occasion Count MUNSTER addressed the ' Assembly, and communicated the resolutions of the PRINCE REGESIT upon the objects of their deliberations. Yesterday, soon after two o'clock, her MAJESTY and the PRINCESSEI received a visit at the Queen's Palace from the Duke and Duchess of Oateass, when their Royal Highnesses partook of a sumptuous repast, and continued their visit for about two hours, and then returned to their house at Twickenham. The PRINCE REGENT and the Duke of CLARENCE dined with the Quests and Patraoassce yesterday. Yesterday the Austrian ARCHDUKES visited the Tower of London, and Viewed the Jewel-Office, Ar =Wits, &c. They aftefwards took a 'circuitous tour. As some persona attach considerable importance to the artival of the Duke of ORLEANS in this country, while affairs in France are in so interesting a situation, I we think it tight to state, and our statement is from authority, that his Highness has coma to England for the sole purpose of being with the Duchess at her ap proaching mastimitegt. kiskAi MAI ns. • ARR.

The Mary, Biwarm from Seville to Bristol, was on shore yesterday on Langhorne Sand. In the gale of Monday night, an American .vessel, from New York, 400 tons burthen, was driven on shore at Climping, near Little Hampton. She was laden with rice and staves—the crew, as well as the carp have been saved, but the vessel, which is not yet off, will, it is feared, go to pieces. The arrival of the men of war from foreign stations cannot be expected for some time, owing to the mine• tance with which seamen enter for those ships that are now fitting out, as they will not be able to return until relieved by the ships for the peace establish ment, many of which are entirely without hands. In the course of this autumn 60 ships sailed from, Copenhagen alone, to the Danish West India coin. nies. Denmark was also fitting out an expedition for her-African possessions on the Guinea coast. A squadr u, consisting of three frigates, four sloops, and a brig, passed the Straits of Gibraltar .tothe on the 4th of October. They chewed no colours, and kept close to the Barbary shore. There can be little doubt, however, but they are Algerines, and intend hostilities against Spanish, Danish, and other Northern flags. A letter from Buenos Ayres, July 27. says :- 4 We rather suppose the merchants of the interior are waiting the result of a general action between the Royalists, under the command of Pazust,a, and the Insurgents, under RONDILAU, which. it is supposed, may have taken place before now. We have letters from Tucuman. Piceuxt.a's bead-quarters were at Orme, his advanced guard at Condo. RONDxAU was at Potosi, and intended marching immediately with two regiments, to unite with his advanced guard. It was expected an action would take place. The Go- vernment here intends sending an expedition to Chili. Should the result be favourable, trade will 600 D revive." _ _ The Court Martial, which has been sitting some days at Sheerness on Captain Lord GROMIE STUART, late of the NZWCASTIA 50 gun ship, on charges pte. (erred against him by Captain Sutcliffe'', late of the Anmora, of the same rate. clued its proceedings on Thursday afternoon at a late hear, when his Lord ship was honourably acquitted. Mr. COCHRANE JOIINbTONN. who is supposed to be in America, is now living on his only remaining estate in Dominica. A Gntleman is in town who saw him in that island on the 21st of August last. B*sn or ENOLANn.—Yesterday, in consequence of Government having granted some Capital Prises, in the Funds at the low price of 56, for the State' Lottery. which has caused a demand for Tickets and Shares unknown before, the Contractors were com pelled to take ALL the unsold Tickets from the Bank t this is the first circumstance of the kind that ever oc curred till within three days of the Drawing, and can only be accounted for by the anxiety of the Public to select the Three Prises of 0150,000 and Four Prizes of £20,000, which may all be drawn TUESDAY, the 7th November. fit Ali Ad. The taii ticiiOn Regiment of Militia is findei orders to embark tot Ireland. The West Kent Militia hare been ordered from Buttevant to Fermoy ; a detachMent of this regiment is also to be sent to Mallow. The wounded soldiers Who landed at Leith on Thursday se'nnight, marched into the Cattle; and joined the Third Royal Veteran Battalion. They amount to 2.50 men. 4 Caution to Diteinborlid Militia Men.--Seyeral Militia Men having lately enlisted into his Majesty's, regular forces before the expiration of the time for which they are bound by law t.. serve in the Millie, we have thought it advisable to inform them (lest they should continue to err through ignorance of the penalties of the Act of Parliament), that in so doing they subject themselVes, by the 4'2d of Ceoige 111. cap. 90, not only to •six month)' confinement in the commen gaol of the county or city where the ffeace was committed, but they are also liable to serve in the regular Army after they arc discharged from the Militia. We have received, from a Gentleman who attended the Review •n Saturday last at Paris, an in eresting account of that spectacle, which was the am:A sp'endid of the kind that has been seen since the Allie , first reached Paris. The whole of the Duke of Wito.rea- Tom's army was collected on the plain between Sr. Dennis and Montm. re, consisting of infantry and cavalry to nearly set's' ty thousand. The troops went through the various manoeuvres with great precision; but the most attractive movement of the day was that which was intended to represent the retreat of t!,e Bri tish from Burgos. The evolutions were grand, and executed in the most perfect order. The day was fine, and the troops appeared to thb highest advantage. lc was.difficult to say which attracted most admiration, their excellent discipline or their soldier.like equip. spent. To prove how alert the troops could be in case of need, no notice for their attendance was given until a short time before their presence was required in the field. The Duke aneated in Field-Marshal's uniform, attended by two foreign Prilmes and the whole of his Staff: It was believed, that about 20,00() British and Hanoverian troops would be left behind in possession of the works of Montmartre, and the rest would go to the frontiers. The Duke of WEL LINGTOteII troops having remained so long tinder canvas, a considerable portion at he men had best for some time sickly, and of la ic a tew more had been added to the list. His Grace's motive for nut placing sooner his troops in cantonments, was t i cause as little inconvenience as possible to 0 - 4 Part. sians, who were already burthened with the Prussian troops. THE ROCHESTER PADES7'RLIAT. TUPPER having on Thursday night, tit halr-ptst ten o'clock, accomplished 53 miles in the cottr.e of the day, started again yesterday at five o'clock. At eight he had completed I I miles, wl,r.rl he retired to breakfast i at ten he took some refic..- ment, and at one went to dinner I by that t'rn: be had performed 18 miles, and witwithstandii% the torrents of rain then pour-Inv down, he mitinartl to proceed in his usual spirits.

Owing to the tempestuous a rather, vary few per. sons were on the course yesteid t,.

The Badges to be te,ro by the r otapanions of clic Bath are nearly all finished. As yet no inAluttiors of the manner in wi.ich the Kiv.4l MilitAry Offi cers are to be invested with them has het n isso.'d. The whole of the insi;tnias are sent to his Royal High ness the Duke of Yoett, as Grand Master ut the Order. for his in'spection. The Insignia t f the new Order of the lciig,'una f Hanover, which may be given as w.ll tit (;.vi) ;II to Military persons, will consist, besides a st , tr to he worn on the coat, 0. t tl e following—A St. Andrew's cross of gold, in the centre of which, a silver horse galloping on a red ground, and wvcr that in a blue ground, the motto —" NEC AWItI4A TERRltttir." The shield is Stlftoollltied by a wreath a oak, with a gold border, and in the fourth coiner, between the arms of the cross which ploject 1 , ey01..1 the shield, are four golden lions. Such will be the ' order for the Civil Class, that for the abut y will . I have two swords lying crossways, under the uakeu wreath. The Grand Crosses are to wear the insioti.4 attached to a gold chain, and the Knights to a blue ribbon. From the fall in the price of bullion, gu:neas are now worth only Arl. Is. their legal value. A finely executed bust of his MAJlitftY has been taken at Windsor. during his present indispoiti, , c, from which the venerable likeness is to be traosterred to the new silver coin. Rosser °SIMMS. Esq. Recorder of Hull and Beverley, Yorkshire, was twice thrown from a spi rited horse, on which he was riding from Hull to Trofford, on Saturday last, and is in consequence very dangerously hurt. OLD BAlLEY. —Bradford, charged with forging bills on the Victualling Office, was ibis morning found Gnilth—Death. The trial lasted three hours. Flitlf&—A fire broke out on Thursday afternoon. at half-past three o'clock, in the manufacto' yof Messrs. Towning and Sons, hat manufacturers in Mine court, enchurch-street, in consequence of the flame of a candle having accidentally communicated to some paper in the cellar of the house. The flames soon ascended to the upper roms, and threatened destruc tion to the whole building. The early arrival of the firemen, however, aided by the assistance of the neigh bours, prevented the extension of the destructive ele ment beyond the premises in which it commenced its progress. In the course of the morning, a fire broke out at No. 4, Bird -street, Mary-la-Bonne, in the shop of a carpenter, which burnt with fury for some time. It was finally extinguished after destroying the greater pan of the premises. No lives were lost. 'i
