The Duke de DOtDEAUVZLLE was first. heard in, support of the-Project. • Count GERMAIN thought, that the remedy for the eil experienced should consist in a more severe law :•:-- the abuse of the Press, and until such law was prepared, he was willing to accord a provisional suspension until the end of the present Session. The Duke de BROGLIO conceiveti that the prin ciple of the evil was to be found less in theihsuffi ciency of the law than in the negligence of its exe cution. He would, nevertheless, support a supple mentary law, which would enforce the dispositions Of the existing laws, but he resisted, as useless and dangerous, any previsional measure. The Marquis de Ia Toutt-nw-Pts, distinguishing in the question between principles and circumstances, thought that the circumstances in which cheNation is at present placed, are so imperious, that they ought in command principles. He was consequently favour able to a Censorship, exercised under the authority of Ministers, and the duration of which should not ex tend beyond the next Session of the Chambers. The Duke (I,e LEVIR was of the same opinion. It appeared to him imroSsible to refwe to Government the law which they demanded. • • Count di SAINT ROMAN declared, that in his eyes the pretended advantages of the Liberty of the Press could not balance the dangers by which it has at all 'tittles been ; there could be no doubt of the evil, .and the law proposed appeared to him proper to remedy it. Marquis de CLZRMONT ToNNEftßEendeavouted 'to establish, by a history of the misfortunes of France, .that the Liberty of the Press had never had other than ruinous results in that country ; he imputed to these excesses the downfall of so many Governments during dr.! last thirty years, and deduced from the whole the necessity of opposing', some barrier :o the • licentiousness of the Press, by adopting at least the pinciplc of the law proposed. The Ci:anther crdcied these different opinions to be printet?, and adjourned .he farther discussion of ti:e tine:,tion till Monday. Scinvrll!N, I'ZP,P.I.7ARY 12.

" MAMMOUD.r. . lIAMBURGII, FEBRUARY is. An article sent by the Swedish Consul at Algiers to 77se 'Coririef deStodhok . confirms the news that the lley and the ltegenky of that State have positively fefused to accede to the demands which have been made, in the name of the Powers assembled at the Congress of Aix-la-Chapelle. The two Admiral, French and English, were charged to demand from the lley a declaration in writing, that he would not, lin future, cruize against any Christian Power. The lley replied, that he would observe his treaties with all the Powerb, but that he reserved the right of making wan- on those Powers who did not observe their engagements towards him ; 'and that, moreover, • he would persist in making his cruizers visit all nier eaant shii;s, and capture them, when their passports are informal. It is difficult to believe that the Anglo-French squadron will suffer itself to be sent away with an answer so insolent ; at the same time, the silence which England And France preserve, as to the result of the proceedings, affords reason to presume tit* the Algerines have answered the propositions of Con gress by a refusal of some sort. • No obligation in writing would, however, prevent the Regency of Algiers from continuing its piracies, for it faithfully promised, in writing. to England, in ' 1816, to abolish slavery, and yet all the prisoners made since chat period have been treated as slaves.

" Nothing can be more vague—more difficult to catch or comprehend, than the state of people's minds here, since the change of Ministry. There is much doubt and alarm—all parties are discontented with the change. The Liberals are dispirited and terri fied, and, I ur.derstind, heartily repent their uncom promising hostility to the late Minister—whilst the eclat, with w hich he has retreated, and the probabilitd of his return, together with the distinct refusal of the Duke of Richelieu to make common cause with the Ultras, has enraged the latter. Even 'the King does not escape their resentinent—they'ipeak of him, in .their angry moments, in the grossest way ;*but even in the ferment of politics, they •do not forget their pleasantries. • The Duke Decaaes,in allusion to his receiving his dignity on the assassination of the Prince, is called a Due du Sang—Duke of the Mood! It is really curious to observe the deportment of the Ultras. They appear, some in parties of two or three others alone, gesticulating and talking with myste rious vehemence.' Some call this stratagem, others fury, which latter I think is the case ; and, after all, there is reason for them to be enraged. They have sacrificed fortune, and borne exile and poverty...for the Bourbons. " The Bourbons are restored, but the party return with all their preteusiOns to former rank and power, which is so far from being indOlged, that they find themselves objects of derision. The majority is re volutionary, and a majority can always turn the laugh against the lesser number. Their Counsels would ruin France, yet it is natural for them to think they ate ill-used. The present will be an important year for France. The Government is scarcely strong enough to stand a free Press ; and if the Press be silenced, let them beware of the coups detats of the revolution. It was reported, among other party • rnanceuvres, that the Duke of Wellington was coming over here to impress upon the King the ne cessity of appointing a purely Royalist Administra tion. He is in great favour v..ith that party, and it is the general opinion that Decazes never had the con fidence even of the British Cabinet. It is reported, that he declines the Embassy to London." Letters of the Bth from Cadiz, and of the 14th Inst. 'from Madrid, have been received, but they do not venture to say a word on the subject of the insui:ec tion. A courier extraordinary lie is a person of title) has also. arrived. at the Spanish Ambassador's, with later dates from both places. It is understood that King FERDINAND has made a pointed application to Prussia for a body of men to be sent to his aid. We are also credibly informed, that our Government has been solicited to allow part of the garrison of Gibral- 1 tar to proceed to Cadiz, but to the credit of Ministers they have declined all interference. A fcw English Officers, on the evening of the 6th ultimo, went over from the garrison of Gibraltar to Algesiras, Where they remained. all night with the Constitutionalists, whom they found in high spirits and discipline. They assured Our countrymen, tha: they were so well informed of the state of public feeling, and the disposition of the KiNo's troops in their favour, That they feared little interruption to their designs, which then were, io proceed in succes sion to the principal towns, where, if favourably re ceired, as they anticipated, they would establish the Constitution, and afterwards march direct upon the `capital. The former part of this design appears to I have commeaccil on the morning of the 7th, when a division of the Constitutional force in Algesiras was seen from the rock of Gibraltar, which commands a view of the while country, marching in the direction of Ronda. In Algegras the numbers had augmented to 4000, and this division would probably contain half that force. The troops of General O'DoNNELL, who was at St. Roque with about . 2000 men, were 'at'the'same time seen in motion : they marched out of the.place, when, the morning being somewhak hazy, they were lost sight of. All this, passing im mediately under'.the view of Gibraltar, must have been, as it is describe'd; a .pcene of great interest. The entire force of the Royalists, in the neigh bourhood of Cadiz, consisted of about 9090 men, including those commanded by General O'DONNELL in St. Roque ; and the remainder were diAtibuted under Generals FREYRE in Port St. Mary's, CRUZ LA MOUROEON in Chictana, and MICUELENO in Puerto Real. It is now stated, that could the inha bitants have found arms on the night of SAw•rieoo's insurrection, so prevalent was the disposition to join him, that the affair must have led to the most inr portant consequences. Of the Royalist force above mentioned, about one-half was composed of troops formerly attached to the Expeditionary army ; and it was generally understood that no confidence could be placed in them, but that they would join the Constitutionalists on the first opportunity that pre sented itself. ' " PARTS, FEBRUARY '26. " The Rebels, as Ferdioand and his friends call them, of La Isla, hitherto deaf to the paternal calls of the best sy . Kings, far from thinking of laying down their arms, and imploring mercy and pardon for the dreadful crime into which they have rushed, in demanding the re-estahliohment of the Constitu tion, are amusing themselves by fortifying their pre sent position 'and increasing their numbers. 1 have seen two letters from Madrid, of the 14th, which state, that the Government does not know which v:ray to act, for positive ruin is before their eyes. The worst is, that the army under Freyre does not hcsi ' tate openly to declare, tha they will net shed a drop of the blood of their countrymen. Hence were the 2,000 men under Colonel Riego enabled to pass on to Algesit as, under the very noses of the King's Of ficers, and they could not prevent it, indeed they had enough to do to keep their men together ; and if Riego had only known what was passing among them, he would have had most of them." We have been favoured with the following' extract of a letter from Ti kuidad, dated December 18 : " tiocivAii, with the whole of the united term, were pre petit% to take up• their line of march on the coast. The only put tion of Venezuela Cr' New Granada that is yet in possession of the Spaniard'., Cartacas de Lton, will be occupied during the present month, and Mostu.° will be compelled to suit Va lencia by the commencement of Januari, and become reduced to the fortilcations of Porto Cavello, which, with a few vessels of war, will be obliged to surrender."

It being the first•time of t he KING leav ing his Palace since his Accession to the Throne, he was escorted, for the first time, by a guard of Light Horse (Lancers)—four before, and four behind, the carria;e. They proceeded through Pall-mall, St. James s Par k, Pimlico, along Vauxhall-bridge, &c. The 'Duke of Yoke: had an interview with the King yesterday morning, upon military business, previous to his leaving town for the Pavilion, at Brighten. testerday, at three o'clock, the Duke of YORK held a Levee, at his Office, in the Horse Guards, which was numerously attended. The Duchess of CLARENCE visited the Duchess of KENT on Monday, at the King's Palace at Kensing ton. The Duchess of Cr ARENCE is most exemplary in her attentions to the Duchess of KENT under the afflicting loss of her beloved Royal Duke. The Duke of BEDFORD has taken Lord Anson's house in St. James's-square, to which his Grace and family will' retrieve in a few days. Mr. HOBNOUSE has been released from Newgate, and to-morrow he dines, by invitation, with his West minster friends, at the Crown and Anchor . Tavern.

Lord FINGAL took the Chair, and Mr. O'GormAri acted as ecic tary ; when a short and pithy Address, expressive of the sorrow of the Catholic copulation for the loss of their revered 'ifs°, and also of a hope that his pre sent MAJESTY would be the happy instrument-. of *forwarding their claims for a commenion of rights, was passed unanimously. It was suggested, that the sentiments contained in the Resolutions of Alit?. should be rescinded or disavowed.

The following particu).ars of the loss of the Lon- Cathcart, are extracted from n letter from the Mats of the vessel, dated Fiume, February 5 :_ " I am sorry to be. under the necessity of informing you of the loss of the ship Lord Cathcart, and of the melancholy con sequences which attended it. We experienced nothing but hard gales from the time of our leaving Fiume till the 12th, when we met with a fresh breeze from the N. N. W. At five r. as. the Island o( Pelagasa bore W.S.

We were then steering S.S.E. by compass the ship run ning at the rate of five knots an hour, under doa ble-reefed top ' sails, fore-sail, and mizen-topgallant-sail, with a heavy sere/1 from the northward. At five minutes before six o'clock, the Iship struck on a sunken rock, and in about ten minutes went to the bottom : myself and eleven more succeeded in cutting the boat's lashing as the ship went down, and were fortunately floated off the decks. I repeatedly called to Captain Tarrand to come into the boat before the ship went down; hut - she wer.t down before he was able to join usi. With him perish...Li 3. Morrison, the carpenter ; 11. Lloyd, C. Wheel, and N. Vieflift. a lad belonging to Fiume. After driving about the sea for two days and two nights, we were fortunate enough to reach the shore, about 15 miles from this place, and went in search of bread and water, having taken no sustenance since leaving the ship, but were not able to procure any. We then returned to our boat bat were unable to launch them, en account of the heavy swell which had set in ; we remained en the beach two days and two nights, without any relief except water; and, subsisting up... 2 two pigs which were fortunately kept in the boat, wo arrived a: this place to-day, in a mast distressed state, one half of our people being in their hammocks at the time of the disaster. arc now in quarantine, and I expect will be sent to_Naples the course of a few day,, to be at the disposal of the Consld-Gener..l. - ' Extract of a letter from an Officer belonging to hi's Majesty's ship OwEN GLEsboweu, which reached Rio Janicro from Madeira in the extraordinary short space of thirty days: " 11.
