NOT ZICLIJOIV Z. PORIIIGN rNTELLIGENCR. EXPRESS FRO3I PARIS. From the Gazette de Frames of Thursday. According to various Ordinances of the King inserted in the Afortitear of yesterday, the King's library, the blasarine library, and that of the Arsenal, are in future to be open to the public from 10 in the morning till three in the afternoon (holidays excepted.) The same paper contains another Royal Ordinance, directing that one million of francs out of the five millions granted by the law of the Bth September last, should be appropriated to the departments and townships, for the purpose of enabling the authorities to procure employment during wintc: for the poor, and industrious classes of the population. (From the Cormier Protteais of Wednesday.) There was a report yesterday on the 'Change of Frankfort, that the Emperor of Russia was taken suddenly ill. This account had the sfrect of lowering the funds. According to accounts of a recent date from Algiers, Ocn. Cassel is incessantly occupied in the pacificatioa of the Algerine territory, and t arrying on his plans of colonisation. He has quitted Algiers fee a short expedition to the town of Medea, with the view of dispersing the bands that still adhere to the Rey of Titter', and establishing a fees from the coast to the interior of Africa, The Necker Casette contains the following letter, dated Zarskoelelo, Sept. 18, which the Emperor of Russia addressed to the King of the French upon the official notification of his accession to the throne:— " I have received from General Athalin the letter of which he was the bearer. Events, greatly to be lamented, have placed your Majesty in a cruel alternative. Your Majesty has taken a resolution which alone seemed to you calculated to preserve France from greater disasters; and I will not express myself upon the motives which have influenced your Majesty; but I address to the ALMIGHTY my most ardent prayers that he may be pleased to bless the designs of your Majesty, and your efforts for the welfare of the French people. In accord with my allies, I receive with pleasure the wiahtexpressed by your Majesty of maintain. ing with all European states, relations of peace and amity. So long as the relations shall be founded upon existing treaties, and upon the decided resolution of preserving the rights, obligations, and territorial possessions solemnly recognised by them, Europe will find therein a guarantee of peace which is even neoessary to the repose of France.— Wiled, with my allies, tocontinue with France under her new Govern ment these salutary relations, I shall endeavour, on my side, not only to maintain them, but also to manifest sentiments, the sincerity of which I have the pleasure to express to your Majesty in retain for the sentiments expressed towards myself. Upon this I pray your Majesty,' &c. " The following is an extract of a letter, dated Lisbon, Nov. 3, from a female, who proceeded to that capital on board the French vessel Jumeaux, of Havre:—' Although our passports were perfectly regu lar, and signed by Don Miguel's Consul at Havre, a merchant and his wife, a young lady, and myself, on our arrival here, were not only strictly searched, and our private papers taken from us and read, but we were all confined fur 34 hours at Belem in a small close room, with nothing to sleep upon but the mattresses of the ship thrown on the floor, and we were not suffered to go out, even on the most pressing occasions, but were constantly guarded by soldiers. Had it not been for the exertions of my husband, we should have been detained at least four days. Our effects are still in prison, from whence we ourselves were not liberated till we had been actu ally flagellated, and otherwise ill-treated, though we have a Consul and Vice-Consul at Lisbon, and two ships of war in the Tagus." COURT OF PEERS, Nov. 24. At four o'clock the result of the deliberations of the Court was not officially proclaimed; but we were informed by an Moor of the chani-1 ber that Count Hargorlay was sentenced to six months' imprisonment and 500 franca fine, and that M. Brian, Editor of the Quofidienne, and M. ()monde, Editor of the firuserre de France were both condemned to one month's imprisonment and 50 francs fine. 51. bible, Director of the GaseUe de Pram*, who had not signed the number of the pa. per in which the incriminated letter appeased, was acquitted. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, Nov. U. M. Du to (Vise-President) took the Chair at one o'clock, and com municated a letter from M. Benjamin Morel, explaining his motives foe sending in his resignation. M. Osujal presented a propoeidon, having for its object to oblige the ministers to whom petitions should be hereafter referral by the Legisla ture, to return the Chamber an answer in the course of three months. The examination of the accounts of 1828 was then resumed. M. E. Balverte proposed to add to the article adopted by the chain. bet, in its sitting of yesterday, authorising the revision of the grunted sine the Ist of Jan. 1828, another article, subjecting lil likewise w revision the pensions given to peers by the law of the 22d April, 1829 M. &deem animadverted on the abuses resulting front that law, which conferred on the peers pensions of 12,000 f. He also animadve rted on the permanent fund of 120,000 fr for ecclesiastical peerages. AU these pensions were claimed by an anti-national policy. A purification is in dispensable. When it has taken place, and only then, the Chamber of Peers will no longer be accused of containing pensioners of Charles X. 31. Vaucelle opposed the motion. I. Thil tressed the law conferring those pensions as fromoraL The permanent fund for Ecclesiastical Peerages he considered a burden which would ever press on the people, since the Clergy never dies. He then referred to the discussion of the Chamber of Deputies, when those pensions were voted by a majority of only 172 against 181; 21 were absent, fur various motives. Ed. Philippe Dupin considered the creation of eccleslaadeal peers as fatal to religion and the country. The episcopacy was ever anxious to obtain an undue influence hr public affairs, and to monopolise the MO offices of the State. Napoleon had curtailed them with his powerful hand ; but, wince the restoration, they put forward their extravagant pre tensions, which were unfortunately realized. The consequence was, a einsiderable augmentation In our budget. The clergy filled the prir..l cipal lucrative and honorary situations of the administration ; they in sailed the Chamber of Peers, and France only wanted, to complete the system, a Cardinal Prime Minister. M. Dupin considered it a measure of goo d policy, and favourable to religion, not to allow the clergy to sit in the Chamber of Peers. He consequently proposed sub.amendment, hating fur its object to "declare that the pensions paid to ecclesiastical peen should cease on the Ist of January, 1831, and that none should be created for the future." H. lAmeth mullioned H. Dupin's amendment, but opposed that of M. S.lrene. "I he Chamber of Peers," .aid he, "is regularly eon. mulled ; we are no longer in the first days of August last, and have no right to interfere with that Chamber." Jollivet said that the Charter provided for the re-organization al the Chamber of Peers, and that the Deputies would make use of tbeir right in due time. M. Agier considered these amendments quite Inopportune, and wished them both to be postponed until the legisloture investigated the peerage question. al. Barthe said that what a law had done could be destroyed by a contrary one. He supported both amendments, and considered the per. rnsnent fund an appeal to the Prince to send Members of the Clergy ' into the Chamber of Peers. DI Barthe could not suppose that a limn. cul question. in which the Chamber of Peers was involved, could oc casion a discussion among the two power; of the legislature. The former, (added he) knows its dignity too well not to sanction a measure which the country required. Mr. Board's' appeared the principle of the amendments. He was one of the minority that bad voted against the ecclesiastkal pensions. However, he did not think It proper to entert a in th e su bj ect w i t h out knowing what were the intentions of the government on so important a matter. The investigation of the question might be delayed until the discussion of the budget. 3 1. Bernard was for entertaining the matter immediately. No good ?mon (said he) had as yet been adduced to show the im sty of suppressing illegal pensions. Be refuted the objection of N. " that it was not advisable to ezamine the question before the Govern: ment made its intentions known," by quoting the article of the new Charter which invested the deputies with the power of presenting amend meats to shrogate existing laws. AI. alartignac granted that the new charter conferred that right to the legislature ; but he thought it should not be lightly wielded ; and that in the present ease, if the Chamber thought proper to adopt the Proposition, at the order of the day, it should be previously referred to a committee. M. Salverte's amendment was rejected by a majority formed by the members of both central. Al spin having withdrawn his amendment, it was not put to the vote.

" The Poet-master pro tempera at Antwerp." Antwerp, Nor. IL (From the Journal dm Gaud of Tuesday.) GHENT, Nov. 23.—Two members of the Provisional Government, M M. Bogie? and Jolly, have just arrived in this city, and their mission mum have a successful result; it will be sufficient for them to see and know the nature of our internal situation, the good feeling of our in dustrious and quiet inhabitants, and the unanimous wish of all citizens for a sound constitution, conformable to our wants and Intellectual and moral position, either with respect to ourselves, or in relation with fo. reign powers, so that the liberty and happiness of the country may be placed on a firm basis. We have just received information that a Dutch force, 6.000 strong, with eight batteries of cannon (32 pieces), has left the city of Bola-le-Due, and taken up a position at Eindhoven, Hechet, Brie, and Weerts. The object of this movement appears to be to establish a communication between Alaestricht and Bots.le.Duc. From the Cowrie des Pays Ras of Wednesday. ADDITIONAL DETAILS UPON THE TAXING Of ♦iXLOO. YENLOO. Nov. 17.--(Private Correspondence.)--If the citizens of Brussels, Liege, Re. have shed their blood in defence of our liberties, the conduct of the Inhabitants of Venloo has not been Ina heroie or praiseworthy ; they have also exposed their lives for the common cause against the Dutch bayonets. At four o'clock on the morning of the 4th some dis charges of artillery announced to the inhabitants of Venloo that their Dutch fellow-subjeets had arrived in front of the fortress. Between 7 and 8 o'clock in the evening the Belgian artillery discharged some shells into the city to inform us that the army of the Belgian citizens, commanded by General Daine, was at its post. During the remainder of the evening every thing in the town was tranquiL About seven on the morning of the 11th the townspeople began to perambulate the streets, and soon went towards the Hotel de Vale. At eight o'clock the Belgian artillery Rred upon the city ; at the first shot the insutremion, on the pate of the Bourgeois. became general. Cries of "To arms !to arms ! were heard in every direction. The people attacked the town-house, and seized on all the arms therein contained. At that moment some members of the Re -OY, and influential persons in the town, placed themselves at the of the popular party, with the noble in tention of throwing off the Dutch yoke, and preventing, as much as possible, disasters which, at first, seemed inevitable. The funeral service for M. Is Comte de 111 e rode, killed by the Dutch at Bereheen, was celebrated yesterday in the church of St. Oudule. The Congress in a body, all the civil and mill. tar, authorities, and the gamins, with a band of music. were presses en this mournful occasion. The Baglish mall goes out to-morrow, and it is to be hoped that to milleidadea will be Wend to it.

SPIRIT OP THE JOURNALS. CuriumLe.—We understand that the Duke of Wellington, not. withstanding his extravagant testimony to the merits of the English Parliament uat present constituted, and his declaration of uncornpro. milling hostility to reform, actually entertained a project of podium'. tory reform, which he communicated to the great boroughmongers, to whom he looked for support. Finding them determined agahret reform in any shape, and that if he attempted it they would withdraw from him their support. he had then to choose between reform with the sup. port of the Whigs and Radical% and hostility to reform with the sup. port of the party hostile to reform. Expediency being his prUd i t o r . chose the latter al . emotive, conceiving that the violence of his Bunions against reform would gain for him the hearts of the Ultra Tories. Reform or no reform were indifferent to him • his object was a majority, no matter how obtained. We all know the result. If he could have anticipated such a result, he would, no doubt, have guarded against it by a plan of reform. Ttzets.—We regret to say, that we cannot yet congratulate either ourselves or the country on the renewed tranquillity _of the disturbed parts, though we cannot perceive, upon the whole, that the mischief in. creases ; and exaggeration is certainly most busily at work. In many places, the rioters have turned to mere robbers—highway robbers—and demanded money : this at least is a capital ofFence, to be punished by death. We hear from all parts, that there has been a very great deal of weakness at least displayed by people in the better stations of life, whose timely resistance, mingled with kindness, persuasion, and sincere pro mises, would have prevented the infatuated mobs from proceeding farther in courses which can only end in their own ruin. Front our souls, bow. ever, we compassionate the poor creatures whose first stimulant to break the laws was want The " people in the better stations of life." of whom we have spoken above, are not wholly without blame here. And in general we may observe, that those who, in their public assemblages as magistrates or land.owners, have been the most zealous in forming resolutions" that they would not yield even just remunerating prices for the labourer's toil, under a system of intimida.ion, have been the most ready to give up that which the rioter had no right to demand, namely, their purses, under the influence of pure fear. With respect to the destruction of thrashing-machines, the infuriated creatures who commit this outrage, do not perceive that thrashingsmsehines are their best security and ours against sudden rises in the corn-market. To wards the clan of the autumn, in particular, the price of grain usually mounts up on account of the exhausted state of last years' crop t by the thrashing-machine the new corn is brought to market with a ra pidity that could not take place under the dilatory operation of manual praxes, and the prices instattly fall. But if we are to lay aside thrash ing4nachines, why are we not also to throw sway the fall, and suffer the " unmussled ox" to tread out the grain, as under the Mosaic law ? Besides, grain may, in all eases, be ided cheaper to the consumer In proportion as the expense in devising it is diminished ; neither has the threshing-machine superseded thrashing by the hand. In the disturbed and uncertain state of the market, the mechanical proe..ss undoubtedly ham the advantage ; but in its tranquil and ordinary state the labourer or maker goes cia thrash. ing in the barn. His work is preferable, and for this obvintu cause,— that the machine spoils the straw ; and wheat-straw, besides being in dispensable fur thatching and other home-purposes, is a very important article of sale in the markets of London and all the great towns. We conjure the labourers, to whom these remarks may be read, to cease from their present urinous ounages ; and, above all, net to give themselves up to le ade n who arc not of their body, who have had no common suf ferings with them, and have now SO COMM eases with than.

What an expression How forcible ! " Grinding the faces of the poor !" However, we rejoice to say that wages are every whe►e rising ; and but too frequently by the good will of the farmer, at .d in spite of the magistracy. Posv.—Wa yesterday published a petition of West India Planter and Merchants, presented to Parliament four years ego, praying for en quiry into the moral, physical, and religious condition of the Slave., and we earnestly recommend it to the attention of the candid and unpre2 judiced. It is fitting that the cant and falsehood of the present day, disgusting as it must be to every honest and well-informed minds should be exposed by an appeal to truth and to facts. The hypocrites who pretend to philanthropy, and who would sacrifice the best interests of their country to their own wretched ambition, know full well, and their dupes shall also know, that the West In dians demand only enquiry; they have a right to demand it, and they desire only to obtain it, conscious that thus will the best attswee he afforded to their shameless adumniators. Let a full and impartial inquiry be instituted into the condition of the slaves, and they will be found to be in a state of perfect contentment, arising from the kind treatment and the various privileges they enjoy. It is quite clear that were the case otherwise, insurrections and bloodshed would have resulted without any excitement from home. Unparalleled ef forts are making at the present time to bias and mislead the public mind, but not, we are happy to believe, with an effect in any degree commensurate. Those are lamentably de abed who imagine that the numberless petitions presented to Praha meat this session, a correct estimate of the general feeling of the country I though boldly put forth as expressing the sentiments of the many, they are in fact the work of a designing few ; they alt spring from the same source. The country in general owns them not. We are rejoiced to observe, that a motion for printing a heap of these papers last night was, most properly, rejected on the ground of expense. It is astonishing that a stop has not been before put to the practice. The expense of printing the anti-slavery petitions previously presented will amount to several thousand pounds. Cuaosict.z.—Distressing as are the scenes which are now witnessed throughout the agricultural districts, it cannot be denied that they have added to the number of reformers, and mitigated the hostility of the opponents of &form. A conviction has gained ground with many per sons who used to be staunch Church and King men—that is, enemies to Reform and Retrenchment of all kinds—that abuses have been carried so far as to endanger the safety of the Government, and that Reform alone can save us from Revolution. We beard an old Pittite say be hoped the present ministers would be able to remain in power ; for he was convinced that were they to go out, the consequence would infallibly be a Revolution. But while these circumstances, in one sense, favour Ministers, (for a Ministry formed on a principle of opposition to reform would unquestionably be a dangerous expetiment), it cannot be denied that the :difficulties with which they have to struggle in attempting reform, from the composition of the House of Commons, are most formidable. We have heard that these difficulties are so serious that it has been in agitation to dissolve parlia ment. At present the government is without its fair strength. The Treasury boroughs will to a man oppose ministers, and the places of the present Scotch members would be well supplied by other members more devoted to the administration, to say nothing of the accession of strength from popular places. The people, now that they have a minis try ready to grapple a ith reform, ought to be true to themselves. I Let them now come forward in force. Never was the time so favourable. Let the demonstration be such as to strike terror into the enemies of reform. srArz OF THE COUNTRY. We are sorry to ay that the state of the country becomes mere and more alarming. The insurrectionary spirit is spreading both westward and northward. We were yesterday waited on by a gentleman front Reading, in Berkshire, who gave us a very clear and sensible amount of some recent proceedings in that part of the country. Saturday, he said, a capture was made at Brampton, neer Reading of ten men out of • body of about 160, who were breaking machines. On Monday another party of seven or eight was seised, in the act of breaking machines and committing depredations on the estate of Gower, Seq. of Bill-hill, near Reading. Tuesday ten or eleven machine-breakers were taken into custody, thizzujh the aid of the military quartered in Reading; they were all in the County Gaol. . 7 ft7esday evening a are was discovered on the premises of P. Owen. Esq. of Borkham-square, situated about half way between the High Bath Road and the Great Welters Read. It bake out about half.past six o'clock in the evening. It was elated by Mr. Clive, M.P. wbo was present during the exertions to extignish the he, that some time be fore, • person was seen lurking abase the neiglibserbeed, who had made enquiries of the children whether Mr. Gress wood a dimileinganschime, and it was believed that this penes bad hem lentsmismini be paireeing the Are. The some person bad aid the did= gniedegs sayeating • gentleman who lived two miles et Mr. Clive sent ameesege to that gentleman to caution him to be on the look.out. A meeting of the Magistrates of the Forest divides of the amity was held at Oakingham, about seven sale from Reading. 1111.Wahor, the High Sheriff, sad Mr. Fishe Palms, man ahem were prow. The object of the meeting was to emalfor what arsoloreo were seawary in the present disturbed state of the district. An 'quartet forma, who holds lands under Mr. F. Palmer, observed that the cases of all the distress was the high MOW, which prevented the imams from em. playing the labourers. On this Mr. Fishe Moor predated • rent- roll of his father's, and showed that the ham held by that gentleman was, fifty years ago, let for only sae shilling and sixpence an acre kw than the present rent. But be observed that the taxes were then only thirteen millions, whereas now they were nearly 00 million, and the aditional taxation had produced corresponding dis tress. In that very pariah of Oakingbant, it was observed by some one, that the tithes, which belong to the See of 13alisbury, were let a few yeas ago, for about 4001 a-year, whereas Mr. Crabtree, Sir Fran cis Burdett's steward, now rented them for 1.6001. a.year. Tae work. ing clergyman receives only about 1001.a-ar out of all this amount. Wednesday forenoon a meeting was h e ld of the Magistrates of the Reading Division in that town, for the purpose of considering in what manner the disturbances Gould be arrested. All the persona of any coo. sideratlon in the beighbourhood had received letters from &ring The state of the poor I. Berkshire, according to our informant, is miserable beyond description. The grocers and general dealer*, who have but too many opportunities of knowing the situation of the poor, are witnesses to dreadful scenes. All sons of garbage are sold tads=, and food is devoured with eagerness which no gentleman would let his dogs touch. The rancid scrapings of Irish butter are ;sorehead and greed. ily devoured. One half of the labouring peopled° not touch animal food once s week. The distress of the people is so much felt by trades. men, that they nee nothing but ruin before them. Our infonuant was present at the are on Mr. Oreen's premises. The labouring people showed no want of will to extinguish it, but they were a set of miser able-looking creatures, under-fed, feeble, without shoes, and altogether in a shocking plight. Mr. Clive ascended a ladder placed against a rick, and addressed them in a tone which seemed to indicate dissa tisfaction with their efforts; but our informant conceived that their want of energy was rather the result of feebleness than want of good NAVAL INTELLIGENCA.

The petition prayed for the abolition of the new police. The noble lord could not concur with the petitioners in their request for the abolition of the new police, but thought it was highly advisable to make Inquiry into the present system and establishment of the police. A petition to the same effect was presented from the inbabitan:. of the parish of St. John, Southstark. nitro's( IN TAILLIAKEXT. Lord KING said—My lords, I have the honour to present a petition from the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Common Council of the City of London in Common Council assembled, praying fur Reform in Parlia ment. I present this petition aith the greatest pleasure, having been long an advocate for reform. I present it with much more satisfaction now than I could have felt ten days ago, because at that time thrm presided over the councils of the country a Minister who declared he had no plan of reform, and that he would oppose it. After that de claration on the part of a minister of the crown, no attention could have been paid to this petition, but Ido now lay it on your kon!sli:ps* table with considerable expectation, more especially as the noble ears is a recent statement pre satisfaction to me, ant all reasonable men.— The noble earl's declaration on the subject of Reform has g vat sad.- faction to the country, and it will go a glen way to restore conti dence in the House of Commons. (Mar, hear, hear.) I hope my noble friend will follow it up in the most advantageous manner. That there are blots and defects in the Constitution of the House of Com mons, no one can doubt. The principal defect is, that the great con - mercial and manufacturing towns which have grown out of the indast: y of the country are not represented. The blots are, the nomination bo roughs, where it is notorious that corrupt practices prevail. Mr. Grat tan has truly said, the proprietors of Parliament, meaning those who have the nomination of such boroughs, have too long enjoyed a mono poly. These nomination boroughs have too long existed, and it is owing to those who are called proprietors of parliament, that this coun. try has during so many years furnished the means of supporting the 1110.4 profuse expenditure ever known. Ido not think the objects which the noble earl at the head of the gorarnment has now in view, can be carried into effect without reform in parliament. This petition alludes to the want of confidence in the House of Commons, and is so respect fully worded that I call the attention of your Lordships to it." The petition was then read by the Clerk, and laid on the table. Lord RING also presented a petition to the tame erect from Brechin. It stated that 45 Scotch members were returned to Parliament by no more than 3,00 u persons. --Laid on the table. On the motion of the Earl of SNAP FESRURV, the five bills for reforms in the law courts were ordered to be read the third time to- morrow. I • 10 • I RZGENCT BILL. Lnrd LYNDHURST gave notice that he should move the second reading of theßegency bill to-morrow ; and moved that the lord% be sum moned. ems. The noble and learned lord then said, be gave the above notice upon the assumption that there would be no opposition to the bill. Earl GREY said he had no opposition to give. The object of th• bill had been so admirably stated to the house by the noble and learned lord, that he approval entirely of the principle. As he had hi•nseif advocated the same principle upon a former occasion he could have no objection. With respect to the details of the measure, the proper time for amendment, if any were necessary, would be in the Cum. mittee. The Lords then Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, Nov. 25.
