THE EVENING STAR. Chamber of Deputies by our Ministers of tho Interior and of the Marine. " Given at Paris et. the Palace of the Tuileries ! March 19, A.D. 1830, and in the 6th year of our reign. (Sired) "'CHARLES. By the King, The Minister of the Interior, (Signed) " MONTOBEL: " The Pleas' DENT continued—'Gentlemen, according to the terms of the law, the Chamber must instantly se parate.' " Upon uttering these words, the President left the Chair. Cries of Roir immediately proceeded from the extrime Droite, and were repeated upon the benches of the Droite, the centre Droite,-and a part of the centre Gauche. The Deputies of the Droite waved their hats and clapped their hands ; the Gauche main tained silence, and several lion. Deputies laughed on seeing the agitation of those opposite to them. " The shout of Vive le Roi' having died away, se veral Deputies of the Gauche exclaimed ' Vive la Charter upon which those of tho Droite drowned their' voices with reiterated cries of ' Vive le Roi " A gentleman about 40 years of age, and wearing an order, who was in one of the Tribunes Reserries above the COM Droit, leaned over, and said in a distinct voice, ' Messieurs, Vive le Roi et la Charte r " M. De LIPINE exclaimed ' A bas la Tribune !' This exclamation gave rise to some remonstrances, but the members separated, and the galleries were cleared without difficulty. " As the Hon. Deputies left the house, they were sur rounded by numerous enquirers, all anxious to learn the result of the sitting. " The Chamber of Peers likewise assembled at one o'clock. After the minutes of the last sitting had been read and adopted, the Prince de Pount4 Ac delivered to the Chancellor the Royal Proclamation, which the latter read, and the Chamber immediately separated." co.f, • • • )• , , , . 4 .1• 4 . • sr t‘ C A4 14 CATIS :1 • LONDON.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS, THIS DAY. Vv e have just received the Gazette de France, dated Messager des Chanares, Moniteur, and other Paris papers of Saturday. The following are extracts It PROROGATION OF THE CHAMBERS. " The expectation that the Chambers would be pro rogued or dissolved yesterday, excited such intense in terest that at an early hour in the morning the ap proaches to the Palace of the Chamber of Deputies were obstructed by a crowd anxious to obtain admission as soon as the doors should be opened. By noon, the hour for which the Deputies had been summoned, the multitude had become so dense, that when the members of the Chamber arrived, the veterans of the guards on duty were obliged to employ force to open for them a passage. When the doors were opened, the galleries were immediately filled, and so great was the throng, that the Salle des Conferences was completely occupied by in truders. The attendance of Deputies was extremely nu merous, many groups were formed in different parts of the house, and animated conversations took place. " The President took the chair at one o'clock. " The agitation that prevailed was so great, that it was not without difficulty that silence could be obtained. " The Minister of the Interior and the Minister of the Marine were introduced, and took their seats on the Mi oistorial bench. The former opened his portfolio, took out a paper, ascended the tribune, delivered the paper to the president, and then returned to his place. " The President—' Gentlemen, the Minister of the Interior has placerl in my hands a proclamation of ths King, which I %IA about to read.—(Profound silence.) 'fbe proclaim** iras couched in the following terms : " CIE Armes. by the Grace of GOD, &C.

If we had ever entertained a doubt of the expediency and constitutional fitness of that course to which the people have been compelled to resort, in the almost simultaneous assemblage of public meetings throughout the kingdom ; we could no longer resist the conviction that is now forced upon us by the conduct of Ministers and of the Parliament, that the convocation of such meetings becomes their only resource ; and is not only justified by the extremity of suffering to which they have been reduced, but rendered imperative by the hopeless ness of their situation, and the insulting apathy with which their patiently-endured miseries are contem plated, and their supplications for relief disregarded. When we see the Ministry resisting every appeal for relief, and opposing every demand for inquiry into the actual condition of the country, lest the admission of the necessity which calls for that relief, or the mere adoption of such an inquiry, should be construed into " a declaration of the want of confidence in the inten tions of the Government" :—when we see the petitions of thousands upon thousands of the people repudiated as unworthy of so much attention, or so much credit, as the vague and casual information furnished by anony mous and irresponsible letter-writers, or the un authenticated statements, and hear-say repetitions, of their partisans and minions :—when we know, that night after night, the attestations—founded upon the personal knowledge of such of the representatives of the people as are not yet so lost to shame as to betray their constituency and their country—are laughed to scorn, or boldly contradicted by those who not only possess no competent knowledge of the subject, but who are deaf as well as blind to the real state of the nation : —when the incontrovertible and appalling facts adduced by the Duke of RICHMOND in the House of Lords, are met only by the oily subtleties of the Duke of BUCK - I WG II A M, and his " importation of butter"—" lardingthe lean earth as he walks along :"—when the calamities of the labouring poor, illustrated, as they have been in both Houses, by the disgraceful truth of the monstrous degra dation of the peasantry—once "their country's pride"— reduced as they are to toil, yoked like beasts of burthen to carts and waggons-are opposed,—oh, how appryriately opposed !—by Mt. P e EL'S reference to the increase of four wheeled carriages as evidences of the non-existence of poverty or distress :—when we see these things, we do indeed feel that the people are more than justified in ex ercising that right with which the Constitution has in vested them ; of assembling to consider of such mass as may yet remain to them, for awakening the legisktare to the full knowledge of their sufferings ; to assert their determined purpose of effectuating some change in that system of Representation by which they have been so cruelly deceived; and to form such a coalition of their energies as may enable them, whenever the great privi lege of the elective franchise shall be restored to them, to requite the faithless depositories of that sacred trust, to the uttermost of their deserving.. In this spirit do we notice the Report, which has this day reached us, of the Meeting of the " POLITICAL COUNCIL" of Birmingham, held on the 16th instant; and the declaration of that Council on the Marquis of BLANDFORD'S. Bill of Refores.—ln the words of that declaration, we too affirm that " in the question of Re form, it is not merely the abstract merit of any par ticular plan which ought to be attended to, but doe re gard must be had to its practicability, and to the seem of exciting and conciliating ALL CLASS'S of the cis munity to its support ; without which . there can bs no security for any clam :—and that " it is of the highest importance to the cause of the people t h at soma general and effectual plan of reform Amu be laid down, which the people may claim as their constitu tional and legal right, end which, whilst it restores the just rights and interests of the lower and middle classes of the community, may protect alike the just privi leges and immunities of the upper classes, and may, in fact, serve as A RALI,YINO POINT FOR ALL." The considerations now promulgated by the POLITICAL Us mu of Birmingham, are of more importance to the cause of Reform, and more calculated to ensure the suc cess of that cause, than any that, as far as we have seen, ever before emanated from such an Association. They are entirely opposed to the visionary schemes which have hitherto impeded the progress of that cause, and are based, not upon theoretical or speculative doctrines, but upon practical and constitutional principles. The decla ration unequivocally asserts that " Universal Suffrage, in its full extent, is not a clear, defined, and acknowledged Constitutional Right ;—that annual Parliaments are not a clear, acknowledged, and indisputable Constitu tional right ;—that Vote by Ballot is not known to the Constitution, and cannot be claimed as a Constitutional Right of the people ;—and that the doctrines of Universal Suffrage, Annual Parliaments, and Vote by Ballot, may be calculated to Weaken the cause of Reform by creating divisions in the UPPER and MIDDLE classes of the community, without producing any greater una nimity or additional zeal among the LOWER CLASSES. or any equivalent advantage whatever."—To this declaration, the Union appends a series of Resolutions commendatory of the MARQUIS Of BLANDFORD'S Bill, as a measure peculiarly qualified "to restore to the People all those great Constitutional rights, privileges, and protections, which their forefathers possessed, and of which they themselves have been wrongfully de prived." —We shall resume the consideration of this important subject at an early day : our space, wo find, now admits but of one short comment upon the proceedings of the past week. The distress of the coun try—though not admitted by ministers to be either uni versal or extreme—has been proved by the most irrefuta ble evidence to be not only universal and extreme, but I unprecedented, and calling for immediate relief. And yet what is the reply of the government? The Premier says " Wait :—lt does not become Parliament to enter has tily, at an inopportune period" (as if any period could be inopportune for the alleviation of human misery) " into such an inquiry; but WAIT, till - • the coun try is restored to a state of complete prosperity." Wait till there is no longer need for an inquiry, and this " proceed to the subject with a proper degree of atten tion !"—" Do not inquire," says Mr.PEEL ; " an inquiry would only be the means of exciting hopes that could not be gratified !"—" You need not either inquire, or wait," says the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ; " I will put an end to suspense, and supersede the necessity of any investigation by telling you that all we can do for you is to augment the duties upon certain articles of con sumption, in this hour of necessity ; and promise you a reduction of three farthings upon every quart of beer that may be drank after October next." Surely, surely, these are not the answers which sound policy would dictate; these are not the answers by which the unparalleled distresses of the country can be rendered more endurable; these are not the answers which a long suf fering, a loyal, and a generous people have a '.right to expect ; these are not the answers which any Government can be justified in giving. Whilst the ambiguous and undefined course of our foreign policy has been distinguished only by the tena city with which our Cabinet clings to the accomplish ment of a project which its leaders are ashamed to avow, it would seem AS if PROVIDENCE were graciously disposed to frustrate the iniquitous design, which they have not the moral courage to discountenance or oppose ; —and by the gradual removal, at its own good time, of the chief instruments of treason and usurpation, would preserve the great principles of legitimacy and natural right.— " The affairs of Portugal appear about to arrange them selves," and that without tho intervention of " the most ancient and faithful Ally" of that Kingdom.* The death of the old Queen, CARLOTTA JOAQUINA DE Boy RIION, which was looked upon as the first blow to the interests of tho absolute party, took place, as our readers will recollect, on the 7th of January last; and on the 7th of March—in two short months—that event has been succeeded by the death of the Marquis of CHAT LS the principal agent of Mic UEL'S ambitious views—the enemy of all liberal institutions—and of the liberties of all the human race. We give the fol lowing passages from Lisbon letters• of March 8 : " The Marquis of CHAVES died yesterday evening, in his house, near the head police guard, where he had been kept for the last two months, in strict surveillance, by order of " his King." Some of the Absolutists now despair, for they cannot trust. to " Mtn usi. I." and they therefore turn their eyes to the British Cabinet ; they attribute the late manes' of the Marquis, as well as his final loss, to the ingratitude of him for whom he had expended his fortune and blood. The funeral of the Marquis, at which all the regular troops are to fire three rounds, takes place this evening at the great Convent of the Carmelite Friars. " The Miguelite faction was elated on Saturday by the arrival of the Viscount of Ass Ec A's Secretary, the Conde de Pon Demo, in the packet. This young man waited for many months in London, to bring to MinvEz. the assurances of his recognition by Great Britain ; but he brought nothing, as he says, but promises from Lord Aasansex. The number of political pri soners in the Tower of St. Julian is now 297. Every .atrocity is perpetrated on them by their keeper, TELLES JODDAO. Among those now most persecuted is the old and respected Counsellor of State, BARDADAS. The brother of the Conde DE LINHMILS. who was taken at the same time as Sir J. M. DOYLE, is imprisoned alone , in the sea• girt Tower of the Bugle. • " Some preparations were last week made to send some more ships to blockade Terceira ; but mo ssy i s still wanted. The only troops regularly paid are the 3,000 police, who keep Lisbon in awe. "The French acting Consul-General, Monsieur BLAN CIIET,has been recalled by Prince Pomo N AC, in the same manner as Mr. MATTHEWS WAS by Lord ABERDEEN, fur having told the truth of MIGUEL and his Government. Some here construe this act of the French Government as indicative of the determination of that Government to follow the example of the British Cabinet in settling the affairs of Portugal. Misery and discontent are spread ing more than ever." The following letter has been received from the Agent to the North and South American Coffee-house, dated Buenos Ayres, January 14, 1830 : '• I have not agree deal of news to communicate to you by this packets the province of Buenos Ayres remains perfectly tranquil ; the finances however, do not improve. Exchange upon England is at 8 to 81 per dollar, and doubloons 103 paper dollars ado ; it will probably require six mont h s of domestic quiet, and the like. lihood of its continuance, before confidence an be restored t the me. derate Unitarians are satisfied with the present government, and dread a change. The war in the interior still continues. General Pax (the Governor of Cordova) is a few leagues from the City of Cordova with, it is said, from three to four thousand men, and his opponent, General Quiroga, with his force, is in the province of Catamarca, and will doubtless avoid a pitched battle with the superior army of Pas. Some Commis sioners have left Buenos Apes in order to mediate between the par ties, but it is thought that it will prove unsuccessful, and that in the end an armed mediation will take place between the provinces of Buenos Ayres and Santa Fti conjoined; the army of General Pas is in good condition, and is supported by the inhabitants, &t. Until something is done to settle the peace of the interior our republic stability is frail. The present government of Buenos Ayres is moderate in the extremetheze have been no political wrests. The funeral rites of the late Governor Dorrego were splendid and imposing; not the least tendency to disturbance took place. _ The latest British arrivals at Buenos Ayres arc as follow : January 4th, the barque Mary, Stott, from Liverpool ; Gth, ship King George, Smith, and brig Elias, Davis, from ditto; 9th, Wm. Nabb, Nubbuck. and schooner brig Aurora, Corneby, from ditto ; 10th, brig Exchange, Dupree, and Delight, Thompson, from Rio.

Cowls which left off on Saturday at 921 for the Account, opened at 92a a, and immediately went up to 92 1 for the Ac count, and 92a a for Money. The effect of the above measure by the King of France, cannot as yet be ascertained. Private letters by the Buenos Ayres Mail of the 14th January, state all was tranquil in the capital, but civil war still rages in the Provinces. Exchange 81. In the Foreign Market ,little business doing as yet. Greek is shade higher. New York papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee House to the 4th March ; Quebec to the 19th Feb. and Montreal to the 23d Feb. The New York paper of the 3d March states, that by late accounts received at Philadelphia from la Clubs, of the 2d Feb. that great excitement was prevailing there owing to Pam collecting his forces to oppose the march of Bolivar. PRIM has Issued a proclamation for a Constitution, dated 12th Jan. The Quebec papers state that the Royal Gazelle says in a post script as follows : —From various sources we derive assurances mounting to all but a moral certainty, that his Majesty's ministers have unalterably resolved not to open the ports to the United States. except in consideration of a clear equivalent in the advantages of which British America will fully enjoy its proportions. The Gazelle recommends a pencil:ranee in memorials and petitions against the measure. At a meeting held at Kingston, Upper Canada, on the 3d of Feb. the report of the committee was read fur establishing a bank, and approved ; the capital of stock was to be 100,0001. in 4,000 shares, of 251. per share, to be called the Commercial Bank of Upper Canada. There is an arrival in the Delaware from Vera Cruz, with advices to the 28th of Jan. and from the City of Mexico to the 10th Jan. They do not bring any fresh accounts later than on Friday via of Bordeaux. LIVERPOOL, MARCH 20.—The import of Cotton this week is large, reaching 28,545 bags, and the sales 21,010 bags. In Sugar only 460 hogsheads have been disposed of this week at low price,. with 50 bags of East India at 71s. We have a great number of arrivals this morning. A Lisbon Mail by the Sandwich, sailed the 9th of March, Buenos Ayres Mail by the Hope, sailed the 14th of January, a Mail front the Brazils, not by a Packet. HAI.F•PAST ONE. The Funds have remained steady the whole of the morning, with an improvement of about per cent. They have been done at 924, and 92j for the Account; at present they are tO2H, and 924 1 for Money. No speculation of great importance has taken Oa, owing to an opinion in the House that the French people will not be satisfied with the measure of the King of France in proroguing the Chambers ; but persons who are well Informed say, that before the six months are passed off, affairs will be miti gated, and that the King has sufficient time to change the hostile prefects in some of the departments, by which he will gain great strength. At all events, this bold step on the part of the King, is a proof that he is no t afraid of the consequences, and de termined to enforce his prerogative. In the Foreign Market very little doing at present, and most of the prices are the same as on last Saturday. Accounts from Berlin, of the 11th March, state that it was officially announced on Change that the remains of the loan of the millions sterling, contracted with N. M. Rothschild in 1818, by the Prussian govetranent, was to be paid off by a new loan of 4 per cenc and the new loon was to be 3,800,4001. sterling ; the bonds are to appear in London on the Ist July. Accounts from Alexandria, in Egypt, state that notwithstanding the Inundation of the Nile last year, the has already arrived in the warehouses 150 thousand quintals of Cotton in the beginning el December, and the mops would produce 240 thousand quintals. The private keen this day from Rio Janeiro of the 18th Janu ary, state that the funds then had fallen to 2 per cent. occa• doted by an approaching mend& loan which was to be bid for 21st January.
