From the frontiers of Spain, there are favourable accounts of the progress of the Constitutionalists. We have before its an extract of a letter from Colonel GIIIMILA, dated Camp of Liberty, d'el Place, by which we perceive that be has pe netrated into Amgen, and is overcoming all the difficulties l and obstacles which the enemy, and the severity of the season, had hitherto opposed to him. The inhabitants of the Hoary d'el Place, where he arrived on the 2d inst. re ceived him with rapturous joy, and illuminated their houses. Ile had before him but few royalist troops. The General gays in his despatch :—" The enemy in sight of us are to the number of 800 men, of the 3d regiment of the line-400 of these being only four or five hour's march distant ; the rest are dispersed, without the further power or prospect of annoying us." By the estafette from France of this day, we have re ceived some interesting matter from our Correspondent, prin cipally on the proceedings in the Chamber of Deputies, on the proposed alteration of the laws regarding the press. The present French Ministry are, we conceive, taking a proper course on the subject, although they are evidently bringing their popularity into danger. The speech of M. LAPITTE was manly and sensible—just such as might have been ex pected from the man. We regret to notice the fact men tioned in the postscript to our correspondent's letter, and not, we observe, mentioned in any of the morning papers : that M. DUPONT DE L'EUnz voted differently on this ques- Lion from his colleagues in Administration. On the other side of the Channel, however, such a discrepancy in con duct, in the members of a Government, may not be deemed so fatal to the prospect of permanent power, as it is gene rally considered on this ; and we hope differences of view may not be further developed. The proceedings of parliament last night were of more real interest than those of any night since the opening of tl:e Session. In the House of Peers, after some farther de bate, on the part principally of the Earl of RADNOR, the Duke of WELLINGTON, and Lord KING, on the postpone ment of his MAJESTY'S visit to the city, Lord WlN cri ELSEA called the attention of the House to subjects of more importance, by the introduction of a bill, for an improved application of the Poor Laws. The object of the noble Earl is to enable the Justices of the Peace, of any particular parish, to make an assess ment from the Ist of November to the Ist of April, which was to be called the labour -rate, and to be ex pended in giving employment to those men who were able to work, and could not get it. By this means the man would be paid for the value of his labour, and relief would not be afforded,as at present,according to the numberof the family. The Bill, after some discussion, in which several Lords pronounced their opinions on the causes of the existing distress, was read a first time. We think *simmer° of the Noble Earl calculated to do much good, and will be glad to see its speedy adoption. The opinion of Lord SUFFIELD, that a reduction of taxation would not operate as a relief to the labouring classes, but that it would produce a lowering of wages only on the part of the farmer, is deserving, we think, of serious attention, as well as the remedy he pro poses, of colonization. The second matter in point of importance was Mr. O'CoN EL L's motion in the House of Commons for the repeal of the Subletting Act. In the speech of the learned gentlemen, which we give at considerable length, he appears to think that the present law is objectionable upon two points:— the one that it had a retrospective effect, and presumed agreements that had never existed in the contemplation of the parties ; and the other, that it prevented the tenant frogs letting a furnished room, much less a whole tenement. This latter produced this result :—it filled the town with poor, and crowded the church lands, Ala by that means were rendered the more valuable. A discussion ensued, in which Mr. DOHERTY defended the present system, stating that its adoption was encouraged, by the evidence given by the learned Member for Waterford in 1825 ; on which occa- ' sion Mr. 0•CON NELL attributed the distress prevailing l among the poor, to the subdivision of land, and the in terminable squabbles which occurred among the sub tenants, who were not unfrequently ruined by frivolous and vexatious distresses for rent, which they did not owe. Upon a division the motion was negatived by 150 against 24 votes : at the same time, it is understood that the Secretary for Ireland is to propose various improvements on the existing law. The other business of the evening was of less importance. We find that the Regency question, which is deeply interest ing, is to be mooted by the LORD CHANCELLOR on Mon day. Mr. ROBERT GRANT again pledges himself to bring forward the question of Jewish emancipation, after the cus tomary recess ; and Lord BE LO RA v E entreated the House to suspend its judgment on the affairs of Dr. Pm LLPOTTS, until the Reverend Dean could furnish a statement of facts. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE-EXCLUSIVE. PARIS, Nov. 10. St a,—Every motion, even the most trivial of the new Ministry is watched with an anxiety bordering upon the ludicrous by the Parisians, striving, if possible, to discover' the principles on which their administration is founded. Although the political creed of the individuals is well known, it is argued, as a body, that they may not coincide in those measures which the people deem requisite to the completion of their glorious struggle. Nor is the conduct of the new Deputies free from the same jealous inspection, on every point of form, which is in the Chamber infinitely multiplied. The first occurrence that took place was on their day of meeting, when many members having taken the prescribed oath, the formula of which was read by the Vice-President, when the turn of M. Voyer d'Argenson arrived, instead of simply pronouncing the words required, Si le jure, he rose and added " Sauf les progres de la raison publique."— The oath being that of fidelity to the Charter as amended and remodeled, of course his words implied " Excepting the progress of public opinion, demands an alteration." It was required that he should take the oath without the addi tion of any restrictions. He denied that his expression could be called a restriction, and added, " That the principle and base of the Charter was the sovereignty of the people, and as such admitted the principle of revision, which had been omitted in the Charter." This caused a general ex pression of murmurs, and signs of impatience in the as sembly, and he was reminded that many Deputies who had wished to add some phrase of their adoption as an explica tion of their reasons for adherence to the new Government, had been invariably denied the privilege, and compelled to swear, purely and simply, without re s tri c ti on or reservation, or on the other hand to quit the representation of their constituents. After a violent argument carried on by the honourable deputy with more of pertinacity than prudence, and broad hints given of his expulsion, he consented with a very bad grace to submit to the regulations, and uttered the words " Si le jure," in a low tone, which was not heard by many. So ended this affair, of which those accustomed to the order, which reigns in our parliaments, can form but a very poor idea. The extreme vivacity of the national character, twenty frequently exclaiming at once, often pushes their violence to the very extreme of decorum. In vain the President rings his bell, in vain do the Huissiers request members to keep their seats : until their physical force is exhausted, they have but little chance of being attended to. Upon the occasion above detailed, the conduct of the new ministers was ob served by some hoping to obtain an indication of their sen timents ; however they prudently kept aloof, and waited until peace was restored. Many have been the attempts made by members of the Droit, to engraft some reason upon their oath, most probably with the idea that such being upon re cord, would explain their conduct satisfactorily in case of a restoration of the exiled monarch, but none have succeeded. M. Voyer d'Argenson is the only member who has endea voured to render the charter more republican in its charac teristics, than it is already, and I suppose this was intended as his debut, in the part of a popular character. I send you the debates on the Press. M. Girod de l'Ain has resigned the prefecture of police, finding its ac tive and manifold duties inconsistent with his habits as a sedentary magistrate. It is an office which requires great energy and firmness, and one in which a man is very likely to be misrepresented. Very powerful means are always at his command, and he has no direct responsibility but to the minister of justice. The Parisian police has one great fea ture, which I could wish to see copied by my countrymen. Its great object is to prevent crime, and not to apprehend and punish it. Should any deeds of darkness come to light, which have been committed by well-known infamous characters, the citizens exclaim against the prefect, insisting that, with his means, they might have been prevented. Scarcely a murder takes place in France but the perpetrator is found to be a liberated or escaped convict from the gal lies, who are all under the surveillance of the police, and who are compelled every week to renew the yellow card, given them as a passport, in the police-office of the city where they reside. Consequently, the »dunes, habits, and employment of this wretched class are known, and their associations for mischief prevented or detected. It is Wain' to reflect that in this country, if a man falls under the sentence of a criminal court, and whose first aberration from the paths of virtue incurs the penalty of branding on the shoulder (an eternal disgrace), and a sojourn at the genies, has no retreat. These punishments are always followed by the party being placed under the inspection of the pol ice, after the expiration of his sentence. His passport, without which a man cannot travel a league, bears testimony against him in every place where he hopes to obtain employ ment. No master dares employ a journeyman, without examining his papers. The trembling wretch presents them " Un facet libe4 !" he exclaims, " Out of my premises in steady," and the unhappy being, like Cain, carrying his curse with him, is compelled to again have recourse to his former errors. But how does he return to his crimes ? the seventies he has undergone, the contempt of mankind, have perverted him into a ravening wolf. He hates that species, which have driven him from their society, and he who began with larceny becomes a ferocious monster. Seldom are ex amples known of simple robbery committed by these out casts. Murder, to conceal their crime, is generally added, and that in the most barbarous and unrelenting form. It is dreadful to think how many of these human tigers are now at large in society. Paris is their general resort, from the greater security of concealment it affords. A police of me ordinary force and intelligence is therefore requisite. Ni harof robbers can exist here, such as Lond on presents. se-breakers there are, and a few pick-pockets; but they are not associated in those formidable bodies which exist in the British metropolis, and are soon discovered and broken up. But enough of such as unpleasant subject, which is, notwithstanding, a matter of some import to the inhabitants of large cities. Political affairs have so much engaged the nation, that theatrical performances have been much neglected by the Parisians since the Revolution. There Gems to have been a great want of dramatic talent displayed in the pieces brought forward since that ssra. None bare survived a temporary popularity, After the great events of July, each theatre brought oat some light piece founded upon them, and many remarkable incidents were represented on the stage. When the public were cloyed with these, and the patriotic songs, and chorusses, in which the audience bore a conspicuous part, had satiated every one, the Emperor Napoleon was brought upon the stage, and many scenes of his eventful life, from boyhood to Im perial dignity exhibited nightly at the minor theatres. Franconi gives the passage of the Simplon, represented with great truth and fidelity. The Italian Opera bids fair this year to have a prosperous season. La Blache has made a most successful debut in that delightful Opera the chef ' denture of Cimarosa, 11 Matrinsonio Segretto. The powers of his voice have delighted the Parisian audience. Strength of voice more than sweetness appears to be the taste of our musical amateurs. This qualification La Blache has in perfection. They compare him to Cheron, a celebrated tenor, in whom force and sweetness were combined. He has been known, it is said, repeatedly to demand a glass of sugar and water, to drink the contents, and to shiver the glass to atoms by holding a note. Another stentorian vocalist is compared to La Blache, Delbois, a chorus singer at the Academy Royale de Makin). His voice was an alto-tenor, and his D, an octave above the formidable D of La Blache, is the theme of many a story. —To give a proof of his vocal power, a wager was laid, that after the last stroke of twelve at midnight, he should sing on the summit of Montmartre, and that he would be heard by people stationed on the towers of Notre Dame. The dis tance I imagine to be full two miles as the crow dies, and be gained his wager. To return from this digression, the above opera was very well performed. Ls Blache is the Telma of singers, and he was well supported by the tenor Davide. Zuchelli was in fine voice, and the noble duet, between the two basses was encored. Of the female singers, I cannot speak in terms of equal admiration, although Sig nora Tadolini, sung the first duet delightfully, she was unequal in many parts of the Opera. Had Madame Meh -1 bran Garcia, who was in the house, assumed her part, it would materially have strengthened the performance. I am, &c. J P. S.—M. Dupont de l'Eure was the only Minister who voted for the reduction of the caulionisentent, in the discussion relative to the Press. This being observed, It was noticed that the new Ministry were not unanimous, which caused a general sensation in the Chamber ; as disunion at such an early period, could not have been anticipated. The sitting of to-day is the culminating point of the ses sion. The two systems are in presence of each other ; without lose of time the ministry must pronounce between the opinions, whether the restoration is to be continued with a new dynasty, or whether we are to have a Mo narchical Republic. The ideas of those two ways of considering the revolution, have been pretty well explained by M. Guisot for the Doctrinaries. To-morrow we shall hear the Ministers—to-morrow we shall know whether France has a government. M. Guixot affirms, that his successors will continue to follow unwillingly, the errors into which they are thrown. We must be clearly told, yes, or no. If we are told yes, we must know why a new Ministry has been so laboriously brought forth, without a new idea to preside at its composi tion. If we have a negative, there must be a sys tem opposed to the one agreed upon by M. Guixot. Let us hope that the Ministry will come out victorious of this diffi culty. Supporting itself upon revolutionary France, its behaviour will be open, and its march will in future be as certained. The least hesitation will give a deplorable strength to the assertions of the former Minister of the Interior. In three days the administration would in fact cease to exist. For to-morrow then : the fate of oar statesmen will then be resolved. Why should the destinies of a great people be in any way compromised ?—Le Globe. The Chamber has pronounced! Thepress is crushed seder the weight of those preventive and tyrannical taxes, with which the deplorable ministry have overwhelmed it. And as if not enough oppressed, they seem to be delighted to insult us, by odious and ridiculous congratulation. In truth, how is it possible to explain otherwise than a perfidious and cruel irony, the incredible reasons by which M. Guiset as serted that the press was not suffering ? Even under the fallen Government, has he dared say that the press, though constrained, was nevertheless free, and the proof ! the proof is, that it has conquered. Really it is a difficult matter to know, in these speeches, what to admire most, the ingratitude of himwho delivers them,or his folly if he holds in good faith to what he utters And what then ? Because, notwithstand ing the penalty, prison, even the scaffold (for you are forced to own that each of us have placed our heads upon the block), the press has had the strength to conquer its tyrants, you dare coolly mention that it was free, and that there was no want of more independence ! A negro sent to be tortured by the bloody whip, breaks his shackles and throws down his oppressors; you conclude from that, that he had enough liberty, and that it would be dangerous to give him more ! And it is before a Chamber of 1830, before a Chamber call ing itself the representative of the people, that a man, but a short time since minister, holds such language ! This is the ' reward of our efforts; we are free, has it been the will of M. de Peyronnet ? The heart is broken at the sigllt of this mournful truth. Coming from a Peyronnet, from a Villa., such treat ment might have been supported ; our sufferings even had a charm for our courage ; it appeared to us a pledge of better times ! But from those for whom we have fought, from those who lately enjoyed (thanks to us) the usurped confidence of our Citisen-King, it must be owned, that there is no parallel proceedings : it is something more cruel than tyranny ! And the Ministry, on whom we have lavished each day our support, confidence, and devotion, because we believed it, in fact, called upon to do good, what words has it found to defend us ? None. One only reason—a "seal ors —came, on the contrary, to ealnesplete our oppression : at this moment the country is in wont of money; no diminution of taxes can be thought of. And, as was proved by the Honourable M. Bartb6, who at least did not separate himself from our cause, the question is not for the Treasury of 4,000,000 francs ! It is for 400,000 francs, that no shame is felt to leave the odious weight of taxes upon us, to give the lie to our conscience, to a sworn faith, in allowing to exist against the periodical press, charges well known and acknowledged to be preventa tive ! . Why do you not demand Of us those 400,000 francs? Why do you not demand it as a patriotic gift ? We shall condemn ourselves to new privations, if we prolong our painful sacrifices ; at least, we shall know that we shall be useful to our country ; by that patriotic gift, we shall know the use made of it. But this iniquitous and vexatious contribution, with which you persist to strike us so severely, what will become of It ? The prey of some sinecurists, maintained, as they stall are, on all sides. Courage, if it fail us not, you shall have complete satisfaction, ind it may still be, as in the time of M. de Peyronnet. Be slows ; it was not fiscal taxation which made you give year vote in favour of the stamp ; it was a retaliation, it is a noble vengeance for the deserving:reproaches you have undergone. Rejoice! for if we have been under M. de Pollgoac,fiee m es a, as M. Guisot so wall said, to overthrow him and his congrega tion, we shall perhaps be enough, so at this day to unmask, to the eyes of Frans, too much abused, the patriotism of most of its representatives.—Journal de Paris. arr, oNs:craott The state of the Funds this morning are as favourable as they were yesterday. Consols have improved 1 pe r cent. They left off yesterday at 841 I for the account, opene,i at same price, and soon went up to 851, since which a t r igi n , reaction took place, and they are at present 85:. The,,, improvements are entirely owing to the confidence of tl who are purchasing ; some say, that it is a manoeuvre of 0 1 ,, Hebrews, who are making Money Stock scarce. In the Foreign Market little doing as yet. CITY, TWO O'CLOct _ The funds are not so good as in the early part of the morning, when consols were at 85i for the account, since which they have receded to 841, owing to some sales of money stock. As for political news, we have none at pre sent. The Public are now looking for next Tuesday, wh er , the question of Reform will come forward in the Heusi as the majority on the part of Ministers will decide thir question, and prove their strength. The letters from Antwerp to the 10th do not bring an% political news. Commerce had taken there a more favour. able turn, and no doubt the armistice on the part of 6 ( King of Holland would be adhered to. In the Foreign Market, most of the Securities have im. proved. Their Majesties gave a grand dinner last evening, at then Palace, St. James's, to the members of the Royal Family, the Ambassadors and Ministers, and their Ladies, and a se lect party. The Duke of Wellington, Viscount Beresford, and Count Munster, had audiences yesterday of the King, at his Pa lace in St. James's. Her Majesty, accompanied by the Duchess of Gloucester and the Princess Sophia, took an airing yesterday in the Parks. The Duchess of Kent and tho Princess Victoria,with their usual attendants, arrived at the King's Palace, at Kensing ton, yesterday afternoon, from Claremont. In the evening, her Royal Highness, attended by Lady Catharine Jenkinson, dined with their Majesties. The Cabinet Council we announced yesterday after noon, was attended by the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Wellington, Earls Bathurst, Rosalyn, and Aberdeen ; Viscount Melville, Sir Robert Peel, Sir George Murray. the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Mr. 'ferries. The Council sat about an hour in deliberation. Prince Talleyrand, the French Ambassador, had a con ference with the Duke of Wellington yesterday, at the Treasury. Earl Bathurst entertained the Cabinet Ministers to dinner on Wednesday, at his residence in Downing-street. Twenty-two Russian musicians have arrived at Hamburg. The first concert, which they gave on the 22d of last month, has met with great success. They have played there on the Russian horn and the doudotsehk, a national instru ment. On leaving Hamburg they are to go to England, and from thence to Paris. The Messager des Chartsbres has the following :—M. Branson, Secretary of the French Embassy at London, and Mr. Cartwright, Secretary of the British Embassy at the Hague, left London on Saturday for Calais. They are bound for Brussels to communicate to the Provisional Government the protocol of the conferences which have already taken place in the British capital, between the Plenipotentiaries of the five courts (England, France, Austria, Prussia, and Russia) in the presence of the Ambassador of the Netherlands. This protocol invites the contending parties, in the name of huma nity, to establish a suspension of arms, during which their military forces would be separated by the limits existing be tween the possessions of tho Sovereign Prince of the United Provinces and the Belgic provinces, at the time of the treaty of Paris of May 30,1810. In this manner Maestricht, Vino°, and Dutch Flanders would remain to the north, whilst the citadel of Antwerp would be evacuated by the Dutch within the term of 10 days. The Moniker contains an Ordinance, dated the sth of November, appointing M. Dalatra to the Provisional Ad ministration of the domains and property of the Crown: and charges Messrs. de Schonen and Dnveryil de Hauranne with preparing the materials for the liquidation of the old Civil List. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.—A Court was held this day, where the Lord Mayor presided ; and at which, it was supposed when oar paper went to press, that a deputation would be appointed to wait upon the King, with a fresh pe tition, to honour the City by a visit. ROCHESTER MEETlNG.—Thursday, a numerous meeting took place in the Corn Market, Rochester, for the purpose of hearing a proposition by Lord Clifton to embody the Yeomanry Corps. His Lordship's proposition did not meet with that support which might have been expected. Mr. Lar kin said he thought additional nightly patrol's, and special constables, would be more efficient for the object; and advocated reform as necessary. Mr. Bentley recommended going to the root of the evil, by improving the situa tion of the farmers and labourers—in the reduction of tithes and rents—and being called upon to bring forward such a resolution, he proposed one to the purport that it was the duty of the landowners and clergy by a liberal abatement of rent and tithes, to assist the farmer in bearing the burthen of the taxes ; which was carried, and the meeting separated without taking one step towards its object—the establish ment of the Yeomanry Corps. CANTERBURT.—We are greatly concerned to state, that by expresses received from Canterbury, dated last night. it appears the incendiaries are still at their work. Much of the property of Mr. Friend, near Hythe, was yesterday consumed. A squadron of the 7th dragoons, stationed at Canterbury, left the cavalry barracks in great haste yester ; day evening, and took the Ashford reed, towards Crap brook, where great alarm exists, en account of vast multi tudes of people assembling in a discontented state. When the mail left Ashford yesterday evening, the greatest ex citement prevailed. GRIIRRAL Le Csassx.—The General La Chasse, com mander of the Dutch troops at Antwerp, having acquired such notoriety from his late horrid attack on that beautiful and interesting city, I am induced to inform you that he is a Frenchman, who was raised from the ranks by Napoleon. and entered the service of the King of the Netherlands on the abdication of his patron. He was introduced to me at Ma lines by a mililary gentleman, and I found him an illite rate, ferocious soldier of fortune. I endeavoured to im press on his mind the importance of regimental schools, es they had been patronised by the Duke of York. as comman der-in-chief of the British army, but found him quite averse to all such institutions, though in an interview with sowed the members of the Government at Brussels, they hod ex pressed themselves very well disposed toward s them. His conduct, therefore, at Antwerp, did not surprise me, though I feel, in common with every Belgian and Englishman. 6 ° utmost indignation at the ruthless conduct of this barbarian. He had a charming residence in the neighbourhood of Ma. lines, to which it is to be hoped he may soon bid a final adieu• by a removal to North Brabant, or the Hague.—Letter is the Chronicle. [ 1 t I.
