The Chamber of Deputies proceeded on Monday 6th the discussion of the Project of Law on ludivi- d;:al Liberty. Article 2J was passed with the Amendments pro posed by the Commission. A long debate ensued on an additional provision presented by the Commission, anj which becomes Article 3d of the Law. It provides, that after pre- cognition has been taken of the charge on which an individual is arrested, the Council shall be obliged to•decide, within three months, either as to bringing him to trial or setting him at liberty. M. TOVPET DE BEVAUX moved, that the delay should be limited to two months. The latter Amendment was put to the vote, and rejected by a large majority ; but the former, limiting the maximum-of detention to three months, though opposed by all the force of Ministers, was adopted. M. DEVAUX moved to add to the Article, that every detention beyond the three months, should be i.t.!(.1 to be an illegal detention, and afford to the ....,fferer a ground for damages against those con- ctrned in the wrong. This p;oposition gave rise to a very stormy discus• sion, and was finally rejected, by a majority consist• ing of two-thirds at least of the Assembly. M. BENJAMIN CONSTA'NT proposed, as another Amendment, that a person detained, should, at the end of three days, be allowed the society of soma person of his fainily. This gave rise to another keen debate, distinguish ed by some very gross personalities. General FM speaking of the Reign of Terror of 1815, observed, that France was indebted for it to foreigners, and to them alone. " If France," said he, " had not been occupied by foreigners, there would have been ten thousand insurrections—(Great murmurs). Do you believe that we would have basely supported the in sults, the atrocities, the outrages, of a handful of wretches, whom we despise, whom we have seen for thirty years in the mire?' This appears to have been too much for the Ultra- Iloyalist portion of the Chamber. The right side re sounded with cries of indignation ; and M. DE SALA DERRY, in a loud voice, thus addressed the speaker, " Vous des um insolent!" The PRESIDENT called M. de Salaberry to order, and General Foy went on in a strain no ways dimi nished in vehemence by the coarse interruption he had received. M. Cossrarir's Amendment was then put to the vote, and rejected ; after which the Chamber again adjourned. The Moniteur contains a translation of a Royal Ordnance by FERDINAND, addressed to the Duke de SAN FoRNANIX4 in which, after a long preamble full of professions of his MAJESTT . S good wishes for his People, he directs his Council of State to divide themselves into seven different Boards, and to propose to him whatever Reforms they shall judge proper for the good of the State. The cause of this appointment is sufficiently obvious.— • Reform is no longer a matter of choice with FEE DINAND, and he wants now to affect the merit of doing spontaneously what his measures for years past shew he hates from the bottom of his soul. We will venture to predict that no good will come of this Royal Council of Reform. It is 'the great Council of the Nation that FIRDIRAND must appeal to, and until he does, there will be no permanent prosperity for Spain. French .5 per Cents, Monday, 74 fr. 75 c. It is reported that the Coronation of KING GEORGE the FOIiRTH is at present fixed to take place in the month of August next, the month in which our SOVEREIGN was born. The Queen of ENGLAND arrived, on the 22d of February, at Rome, where she alighted at the Palace I of Luc:lEN BostarmsTE, which she had engaged for a month. The Government has not sent her any gcat d of honour ; and neither the Minister of Ha rover, nor the Consul-General of England, have waited upon her MAJESTY. It is true that she travels with a passport, containing only the name of Coma : •ss (&li, but she is everywhere announced, on her Arrney, as the QUEEN Of ENGLA ED.—French Journal. .tu Evening Paper of last night, has a ridiculous story about a certain Illustrious Female, whose ab s,:nce abroad, when she might have been, so long ado, at home, is not very satisfactory. The fact is, that her MAJESTY, in some of her Levant rambles, saw, among other curiosities, probably, the dancing boys, who exhibit at the public places ,in Turkey. If we ire not misinformed, Lady HESTER STANiiOPE, and many other English Ladies, have b een p resent at similar exhibitions. They are to be stile, ;record jag to travellers, very shameful sbews ; but when we sit all the world rf ftshion applauding the lewd dis pla)s of Opera dancers, it is worse that: couternp ti'oif to make a serious charge of this. . _ MIDDLESEX ELECTION. _ This day was appointed by the Sheriffs of Middle; sex for the nomination of the Candidates for *the County, at the usual place, Brentford. As early as six o'clock Eris morning, the roads leading from the Metropolis to the place of election exhibited an extra ordinary appearance of life, gaiety, and bustle. This, no doubt, will be a most important contest : . the vigour and spirit with which it has commenced was never exceeded on any former occasion. Almost every vehicle is London and Westminster was put in requisition by the friends- of the different Candi dates, for the purpose of conveying the Freeholders to the poll. Party spirit was never more strongly ma nifested. The walls between Hyde Park Corner and Isleworth were covered with placards, and wri -1 ting in chalk, recommending and objecting to the respective Candidates. We noticed the following: " Mellish and Loyalty !" The most general placard was the following : " Byng in the pulpit, Whitbread in the chair— " Mellish in h—, drinking small beer !" The SHERIFFS arrived in Brentford at half past eight, and the posse comitstus attended them, and every preparation was made before the Candidates arrived.—At half-past nine o'clock, Mr. CHARLES SAMUEL WHITBREAD'S cavalcade, which assembled at the Star and Garter, Kew Bridge, set forward in the following order to the hustings, with dat k blue and orange (Wtruserteto and BYEG I S) favours in their hats and bosoms. Trumpeter. Thirty Horsemen, two and two. Band, playing " See the Conquering Hero comes!" Open Landau, In which were air. Whitbread (the Candidate), his Brother (the Member for Bedford), Sir Robert Wilson, Lord John Rus sell, and two other Gentlemen. The Candidate stood up, uncovered, amidst the loudest cheers, and cries of " Whitbread and Byng for ever 1" The horses were taken out of the carriage, and it was drawn to the hustings. Alderman Wood, on horseback. Three or Four It.ndred Freeholders on horseback, two and two. A great number of Freeholders in Mr. WRIT• BREAD'S interest, assembled early this morning at the Crown and Anchor, Strand, and at the Brew house in Chiswell-street, and set off in different bodies to the Poll. A string of carriages closed the procession. Mr. BYNO'S cavalcade arrived at Brentford at about a quarter before eleven. It started at half-past nine from Mr. BYNG'S house, St James's-square, in the following order: Fifty Gentlemen on horseback. Carriage and Four, Containing Mr. Byng, Mr. Martin, M.P. and another Gentleman. Two Hundred Freeholder a two and two on horseback. A train of about forty Carriages. The Procession entered Brentford amidst the loudest cheers. The cavalcade of Mr. MELLtsif, and his friends, arrived last in Brentford, amidst the most discordant noise of hisses, applause, hooting, and clapping. Mr. MELLISH'S friends assembled in considerable num bers at the same house where Mr. WHITBREAD'S friends started from—the Star and Garter, Kew Bridge, with light-blue favours in their hats and bosoms. The l'rocession entered Brentford in the following order: Thirty Freeholders, on horseback. Mr. Mellish, by himself, in a close carriage. Pedestrians with favours in their bats. About 150 Gentlemen, on horseback, with favours, ice. The different Candidates arrived at the hustings, which are situated very commodiously in Brentford Butts, at eleven o'clock, amidst thunders of applause and hisses. The Candidates and their friends having taken their stations, Mr. Sheriff ROTHWELL and Mr. Sheriff PARKINS, with their Under Sheriffs, came forward, and ordered the Officer to make the usual proclamation, which being done accordingly, the Sheriffs' Precept was then read for the Elec tion of two Knights, to serve for the County of Mid dlesex, in the next Parliament, pursuant to the Writ of the SPEAKER of the House of Commons. The Sheriffs were then sworn to make a just return, " without fear, favour, or affection." The Bribery and Treating Act having been read, Mr. MARTIN, M.P. came forward to propose Mr. BYNO—(Applause). He felt great pleasure in nomi nating their late worthy and independent Represen tative. Mr. Byng was a tried servant, and his con duct merited their approbation—(Applause). He should not take up the time of the Electors in making unnecessary observations, but should, without fur ther preface, put in nomination his friend Mr. Byng—(Applause). Mr. TREPAUD seconded Mr. Byng's nomination. Sir Joan GIBBONS came to the front of the hust ings, and begged to nominate Mr. Mccusn—(Thc uproar and confusion was beyond description). Mr. Sher iff PARKINS came forward, and requested silence, that Mr. Mellish's friends might be heard— (Hootings and yellings). Mr. MARTIN, M.P. said, it was by reason and ar gument that they intended to gain this Election, and therefore begged that Sir John might be heard— (Hissing and applause). Sir Jo:is GIBBONS came again forward, amidst great noise and uproar. He said it was not the first time he had been upon those hustings, and treated in a similar marner ; butthe greater the opposition, the more certain was the Election (hooting and bet- locoing).--He was not to be answered by savage yells! (Great disapprobation). Mr. Sheriff PARKINS said, that he hoped the Re porters would not publish what Sir John had said ; he begged that such language might 'not be used again, and urrd the Electors to give him an im partial hearing: . Sir JOHN GIBBONS concluded by nominating Mr. MELLISH ; and his nom" 'on was seconded by Mr. t at JER Ef.II Att HARMER, who that Mr. Mellish was 1 a friend to the Constitution. • Lord JOHN RUSSELL proposed CHARLES SAMUEL WHITBREAD, Esq. as a Candidate for Middlesex. He took a most able review of the situation of the coun try, and declared that it was only by electing inde pendent men, friends of Reform in the Ccmmons House of Parliament, that any good could be done. He eulogized the conduct of the late. Mr. Whitbread, who always exerted himself in the People's cause, and was the protector of injured innocence —(Loud applause). Mr. Alderman WOOD seconded the nomination. A shc.-.v: of hands was then called for, which proved in favour of SAMUEL WHITBREAD and GEORGE 13YNO, Esqrs. A poll was demanded on behalf of Mr. MEtusn. The polling was proceeding when our Reporter left Brentford. WESTMINSTER ELECTION—EIGHTH DAY. state of the Poll this Day, at Ona o'Clock: This Day.

Tuesday evening Mr. HUNT arrived at Leeds, on his way to York, to take his trial. He was met, about two miles from Leeds, by 30,000 people ; about 20,900 of whom carried torches. The anxiety of the Yorkshire and Lancashire people, for the re sult of the approaching trial, is indescribable. - - The statement that the trial of Major CARTWRIGHT, WooLla, and others, is fixed for the 30th instant, is, it appears, erroneops. The Assizes commence on the 27th instant, but the defendants Dave not yet received any intimation of the day when the trial win commence.

The Army and Navy employed during the late War with America, it is said, will, among the first acts of the new Parliament, be rewarded for their valuable and meritorious services on the enemy's coast, where, with true soldier-like feelins, our brave men chose rather to burn, sink, and destroy va luable naval and ordnance stores, than neglect their public duty by a loss of time in bringing them away.
