• •TilE EVENING STAR . puties on Tuesday, was continued on Wednesday, and again adjourned. The Chambers of Peers had a meeting: on .We& nesday, wbcn they agreed unanimously to the Pro.- ject respecting the Customs. The Bulletin of the discussion gives so brief a summary, that btu little can be gleaned from it. Count CHAPTAL is said to have spoken with great force on the unhappy conse quences of the restrictive system of international trade. The Marquis de MARBOIS agreed with the Count, but protested against the departure of France from the prohibitory system, until the example should be set id the power whichirst introduced it, and which seemed at length to acknowledge its inconveniencies. •, LONDON. • MONDAY.

They lay their damages at 20,000 francs. We are now put in possession; by American Papers to the 24th ult. received this tOrenoon, of the long expected Message of the President to Congress, on the state of the relations of the Republic with Spain. An entirely new shape is given to the negociation by the Spanish Minister, General VIVES, who re quires that the United States shall abandon the right to recognize, at any future period, the independence of the Revolutionary Colonies of South America! This stipulation has been rejected with a promptness and dignity becoming the character, and according with the proud feelings, of a free people. It appears from the :Jessage, that the Treaty for the cession of the lloridas is not truly still unratified, but that the Minister has no authority surrender the territory ; and that the schance c. future ratifi cation depends, not on the eonsidprattons which led to the fotination of the Treaty, and the conditions which it contains, but on this new proposition, which, as truly observed, is wholly . unconnected with it, and so manifestly repugnant to the honour, and even to the independence, of the United States, as not to admit of discussion. " The coutse to be pursued," says the PRES:DENT, •' would appear to be direct and obvious, if the affairs of Spain had remained in the state in which they were when this Minister sailed. But it is known, that an important change has since taken place in the Go vernment of that country, which cannot fail to be sensibly felt- in its intercourse with other nations.— The Minister of Spain has essentially declared his in ability to act, in consequence of that change. With him, however, under his present powers, nothing could be done. The attitude of the United. States must now be assumed, on full consideration of what is due to their rights, their interest, and honour, with out regard to the powers or incidents of the late niivion. We may at pleasure occupy the territory, which was intended and provided by the late Treaty ns an indemnity fur losses so long since sustained by our citizens; but still nothing could be set tled definitively, without a Treaty between the two nations. Is this the time to make the pressure? —lf the United States were governed by views of ambition and aggraneiscment, many strong reasons might be given in its favour. But they have no ob jects of that kind to accomplish—none which are not founded in justice, and which can be injured by for bearance. Great hope is entertained that this change will promote the happiness of the Spanish nation.— The good order, moderation, and humanity which have characterised the movement, are the best gua rantees of its success. The United States would not be justified in their own estimation, should they take any step to disturb its harmony. When the Spanish Government it completely -organized on the prin..' ciples of this change, as it is expected it soon will be, here is just ground to presume that our differences with Spain will be speedily and satisfactorily settled." With these remarks, the PRESIDENT submits it to the wisdom of Congress, whether it will not be still advisable to postpone any decision on the subject till next Session. The accounts from Madrid of the 19th ultimo are of a less tranquil character than any received for some time past : " MADRID, MAY is. " In the coffee-house Lorenzini, a warm discussion had taken place respecting the conduct of certain of the Public Functionaries, and amongst others, that of the Marquis de las Amarillas, the Minister of War. Th e consequence was, that a Deputation was sent to the Palace to demand his dismissal. This proceed ing, so unconstitutional both in its form and object, was met in the way which it deserved—one of the Chiefs was arrested, and thrown into prison. Some of the malcontents sheaved a dispostion to set him at liberty. But the prompt meas&ires which the Autho lilies took upon the spot, and the dispersion of the people who were gathering, by the patrols, frustrated the design. The person so arrested, whose name , is Perror, will be given up to the Tribunals—a wise de-' termination, which is generally praised." • A disturbance of a more serious kind is also said to have taken place at Saragossa on the 14th ult. ~On that day 400 or 500 persons assembled, and at , tempted to pull down the pillar erected there in ho nour of the Constitution. The garrison turned Out and fired on the snob, and several of them were killed. A Military Commission is appointed to discover and punish the authors of this disturbance, which is chiefly attributed to the influence of the Clergy. It is said that the Archbishop and about a dozen Ca nons are arrested. The recent earthquakes in the Island of St. Maure are said to have thrown up a new Island in its neighbourhood, of small extent. A letter from Corfu states, that the English sloop of war the Aid, Captain Smith, has been dispatched to exandne it; and if it proves to have actually risen from the sea, it is intended to call h Lauderdale's Rock. French 5 per Cents. Wednesday, 74 fr. 75 c. FROM OUR PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT. A PARIS, M& SI. " The Government has at length taken the alarm, and talks of withdrawing the last new Project of a Law of Elections. The concession comes now with an ill grace, after a majority which has annihilated the new law entirely. The Government sees plainly, that if it insists on extraordinary guarantees, the na tion is by no means willing to surrender up its con stitutional privileges into the hands of power, from which they never could be recovered but by force.—, The lion knows the toils set for him ; he refuses to enter them, and he cannot be forced. ~ Yesterday was a happy day for France, and iCtutuvEutes name will be connected with the era, 'for it was his vote that decided the majority in favour of M. CAMILLE JOURDAN'S Amendment. M. CHAU VELIN has been long ill and unable to walk, but on such a momentous occasion, he resolved not to be absent, and was transported on a bed from his house to the Chamber, and, singular enough, had he ar rived but one minute later, it would have been too late, -every Member having voted already when he was brought in. The Loan Bill for three millions has passed the House of Representatives, and gone to the Senate; the Cash Bill is thrown out, and the Navigation Bill • ad Tariff Bill ate put off till next Session. The Charleston City Gazette contains accounts from the Caraccas, of a bloody engagement having taken place between the Royalist Army, of 5000 men, under General MORALES, and the Patriots; the result o' which was the total destruction of the former, and the consequent occupation of the whole Province by the Patriots. This intelligence is contained in a let ter from St. Thomas's, of the 18th of April, and has been verbally confirmed by le Master of a schooner from Angostura. " The Government now sees that alarm created by the Ultras, on account of the assassination of the Duke of BERRY, was unfounded. Louvel has no accomplices, and Gravier's crime was a ridiculous attempt to frighten and create a bustle ; and, when we see M. de SERRE himself deign to consult popu lar feeling, it is a proof that Government feels it too imposing not to respect it. Let 'us hope that the salutary lesson of yesterday will induce a return to constitutional measures. The nation is far from wishing a Revolution, but it is resolved to defend the rights it has acquired, and which the Charter has guaranteed." I A Hamburg!' Mail, with Papers to the 26th ult.l has arrived. If we may credit accounts from Con stantinople, there were, when the last intelligence was received from Perrt, apprehensions for the life of the SCrIAH, and of a civil war in the Persian dominions,' in case o: his demise. Of the two rival tons, one is stated to be supported by the English, the other by the Russians. The politicians of Constantinople will even have it, that the state of affairs in Persia was the real object of the British expedition against the pirates of the Persian Gulph, an assertion which we have every reason to believe unfounded. One fact is certain, namely ► that the outrages of the pirates were a very adequate cause for sending the expedition. The Paris Papers of Friday have also arrived this forenoon. The debate in the Chamber of Deputies, on the important Amendment to the Election Project of Law, proposed by M. CAMILLE JOURDAN, was con cluded on Thursday. The result is different from what the division on the question of taking it into consideration had led us to expect : it has been re jected by a majority of ten I Every Member of the Chamber, except one (M. PAILLOT de LoYNEs) was present: - several having, at the hazard of their lives, left beds of sickness, to give their votes on a question in which, by universal consent, the vital interests of the country are deeply involved.

The most profound silence reigned ; many hand trembled in depositing its ball into the urn ; it seemed as if every Deputy held in his hand the des tiny of France. The•KEshn of the SzAss, tai voting, could not conceal a feeling of strong emotion. M. CHAUVELIN, as on the former day, was supported to ' the Tribune on the arms of M. BENJAMIN CON STANT and another Member of the Liberal party. --Many Members, on both sides, held up, their balls to the eyes of the whole assembly, before throwing them into the urn. The announcement of the result was received, on both sides, with respectful .calin `ness ; but, on intelligence of it reaching the crowds of people who filled every avenue leading to the Chamber, anxiously waiting the result, it was re ceived with strong manifestations of disapprobation and sorrow. The Chamber then proceeded to the consideration of an amendment proposed by M. DIELAUICAY, which is that next in order. Five per Cents.—Thursday, 74fr. 90c. In consequence of the letters received from her MA.. mint, intimating her intention to proceed without delay from Villeneuve to St. Omer's, Lord HUTCHIN• SON and Mr. BROUGHAM set out on Thursday last to meet her at that place. Lord HUTCHINSON was some time ago applied to by Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD, on the part of his MAJESTY, to interpose his good offices as a mediator, to settle the - unhappy difference that subsists between the Kist and QUEEN ; and to meet her official agent, Mr. Baouostam, for that pur pose. The Noble Lord expressed his willingness to comply with the KING'S request, provided that he had the full consent of the QUEEN—for he never could undertake any mediation where a Lady was con cerned, without first obtaining her express sanction to the measure. This was communicated to the QUEEN, and her MAJESTY gave her cheerful consent to the appointment; in consequence of which the Noble Lord accompanied Mr.•BROUGHAM to a con ference, that will be held either at- St. Qmer's or Ca lais, as her MAJESTY may be pleased to direct. It is probable that the Noble Lord is authorised to pro pose terms, not derogatory to the 'character, and not hurtful to the feelings of her MAJESTY, with which she may be induced to comply, and which would render her reception in this country consistent with the high station which she occupies in the kingdom. We understand that Mr. Alderman WooD, on his route, met Mr. WELLESLEY Pout LONG, who desired him to present his duty to the QUEEN, and to offer her the use of Wanstead House for her residence, on her arrival in England. By a letter received on Saturday, from a Noble Lady now with the QUEEN, we learn that it is not her MAJESTY'S intention to come directly to London on her arrival, so that it is probable she has resolved to accept the invitation from. Mr. WELLESLEY LONG. Mr. Alderman WOOD met her MAJESTY and suite about 1/5 miles beyond Paris ; his son was in her MAJESTY'S suite, and he therefore took his way back with the cavalcade. The Constitutionnel, French Paper, states, that her MAJESTY passed through the suburbs of Paris on Monday evening, preserving the strictest incognita, and waiting only for a change of horses. The QUEEN and suite arrived at St. Omers on Thursday morning at one o'clock, where it was understood she was to remain for advices, and also to recover the fatigue of her journey. St. Omers is about 45 miles from Calais. A paper of yesterday has the following letter : " DOVER, Twelve eClock, Saturday. I have to inform you, that the Desiree, Captain LA lout, has just arrived here from Calais. Captain Lessner reports, that her Bid/aim was expected this day at Sabis Hotel, Calais, from St. Omer's, •whither twenty horses had b een sent f orward to meet her. There was not the least doubt entertained of her arrivaL Mr. BROUGHAM and Lord HVSCHRIGION (And not Mr. Dmvuan) left Dover last night, for Calais; and it is rumoured here, that they are gone to dissuade her Marorry from comine; and that Alderman WOOD, on the contrary, is anxious for her immediate return to this countrr. All is conjecture as yet.— There are more arrivals expected; and the moment that any particulars *re received here relative to her ALarssrv, I shall dispatch a messenger to you. Since writing the above, the Eclipse packet, Captain Sure- Lace, has arrived with passengers and dispatches, and he con firms the account already received of the expected arrival of her MAJESTY at Calais, this day. A French packet has also arrived with the Mail, the Captain of which states, that there was no doubt entertained of her arrival at Calais to-day." i• We do not believe this passage in the letter to be true. No friend of her Marten , could advise her to remain on the Conti nent, and not meet the iasinuaticbns that have be e n c i rcu l ate d against her. Let these be fairly answered, and then her Na n:arc's future road is clear. The error was in ever quitting the Island.—En.l A numerous party of Gentlemen is forming at the west end of the town to go out and meet her MA JESTY on horseback, to escort her into the Capital of her Royal Husband's doininions. The Kent Road has been throned with people all this forenoon, ex pecting her arrival. Bombay Papers, to the 16th of January, have been received. A garrison was to be placed in Ras-el-Kisyma, the place recently captured from the pirates in the Persian Gulph, and the re mainder of the force to proceed against the other piratical ports. A large fleet of pirate vessels was said to have taken shelter at Bahraini, and 12 or 14 were still cruizing in the Gulph. At Ras el-Khyma were found 15 large dotes, and 100 smaller vessels.— It had been subsequently. ascertained that the pirates possesied an inland, town, called Bhair, to which many of their families had retired previous to the siege. Some of the transports had proceeded to Kishma, to fill up their water. During tho siege, the Lavaaroor. threw about 1200 thot into the town, from a dis tance of nearly a mile, where she lay in twenty-three feet wate4 surrounded by small knouls, on one of which she !rounded. The two 24-pounders, that were landed from the Lwaaroot, con tinued to be worked by the sailors, who were delighted to come to close quarters, and anticipated Ilk result by th e ir jokes. The accounts of the state of the cotton crop, received at Bombay, from the northward, were unfavourable. The price of the most inferior sort of old cotton was Its. 195 per Candy unscrewed.— The West arrival at Bombay was the Asia, on the 26th of De cember, and the neat vessel expected to sail was the Sarah, on the Ist of February. The Thames and Bums& sailed on the 9th and 10th ofJanuary. THE PARKS.
