JAN. 28 —Two Members of the Second Chamber, who have Arm dismissed front their offices, are every where the object of the most marked interest. This act of ministerial vengeance of our Deputies is another consequence of the fatal system which for these 15 years has loaded us with a multitude of false measures which have produced discontent and distrust, without any advantage to the Government.

Mr. BANKER retires from the Secretaryship of the Board of Controul, and is to become an unpaid Com missioner. Mr. WORTLEY, SOU of Lord WHARNCLIFF, is to succeed Mr. BANKER. Lord Cn AN DOB has the offer of the Mint, but demurs for fear of being opposed at the next election, and losing his seat as a county re presentative. No successor has been yet named to Ell the place of Lord MOUNTCHA RLES. An Amendment is to be moved to the Address in the Peers, by Earl STANHOPE. It is also strongly reported that the Marquis of SLAW DEORD will move one of a very spirited description in the Commons. The Noble Marquis, we are told, will introduce a bill early in the ensuing Session, to reform—or rather, restore— the representation of the people, according to the true meaning of the Constitution. We have heard, also, that Mr. (Mori wri.t. is preparing an amendment, and likewise Sir H. v YAW. We may look, certainly, for an animated discussion on the Address. If any one doubts the correctness of the views taken by this journal of the prostration of the country gen tlemen, let him refer to the proceedings of the Cheshire County Meeting for our justification. There he will see that a petition was moved, expressing the nature and extent of the grievances suffered by the bystanders, and demonstrating that no class prospers, except that which derives its principal in come from the taxes. It is alleged, also, on that pe titionrand who is there to dispute the allegation— that the principal and sufficient cause of these calami ties is to be found in laws introduced by the present servants of the public, by which those servants have doubled their own salaries, together with all the debts—public and private—and fiscal burdens of those who pay them : that these laws of Mr. hr F.L and his colleagues have violated the spirit of the Constitution,first—•by increasing the taxes with wit the knowledge and consent of the people ; and secondly, by invading, and indirectly confiscating, the property of the subject. Not one of these propositions—novel and astounding as they are, or ought to be—was in the slightest manner impugned, or objected against, by any of the Gentlemen present at the Meeting : on the con ,: trary, their capital fatilt seemed to be their incontieverti bility—that they were too true, in fact, to be expediently announced by men, who were not quite sure that the ne cessities of a rising family might not make it convenient to ask favours of the parties impeached in that petition. This is a monstrous condition of things, but nevertheless it is the actual condition. Mr. EDWARD DAVENPORT sided firmly and faith fully with the people, but he was not quite a match for the astute aristocrat, who—half-supporting, half-opposing his resolutions—contrived very dexterously to fritter away much of theirindependent character and substantial matter. Tbis new made Peer, who boasted of his cheek-by-jowl equality with the SovemEto N, turns out nevertheless to be a servile old Courtier, and regular government hack of thirty-five years standing—a man, whose very presence at a popular Meeting, unless it be to facilitate the people's objects, ought to be viewed with jealousy, and scouted as an invidious intrusion. Yet such' is Lord DELA x Jinx, who interfered in the business at Nortbwich, and objected to Mr. DAVENPORT'S petition, because its language, forsooth, was not suffi ciently respectful to the people's oppressors. In the amendment which he moved and carried—the break fast-table amendment of which we spoke at the time —he expresses his full confidence that the Govern meat will do all it can, to remedy the mischief of its own handy work. He calls himself a plain man, and says that he does not understand the subject —deducing from his own stupidity, we suppose, the corollary of the stupidity of others. He then ven tures a clap-trap about high rents and low wages, and gets a shout in his favour by one of those unworthy stratagems, which merit better the hiss of indignant scorn. After my Lord DELA:an ts'. display the Movers and Seconders left their respective petitions in the hands of the Meeting. The consequence was, that the one proposed by Mr. E. DAVENPORT was sluiced by the milk and water of Lord DELANERE--.. nothing of whose amendment was left out, except the too base and disgusting flattery with which it concluded. Hawing in the early part of last week been the first to announce that if Prince LEOPOLD went to Greece, it would only be as Prince Protector, instead of KING, (an arrangement due entirely to his MAJESTY,) the news was eagerly seized by an evening editor, who ma nufactured an article of his own out of our materials. Now as the said article has been noticed in several other journals, and made the leading one in a Sunday journal of considerable circulation, we think it right to notice a glaring absurdity which it contains. "It is not known," says the writer, "whether C-ountCAPO D'ISTRIAS remains as Prime Minister under Prince LEOPOLD." We shall answer this doubt by assuring the writer, that he is himself just as likely to become Prime Minister of the New State as the Count. Is it for a moment to be imagined, that a man who has held the reins of go vernment for more than two years, would descend to the rank of a Minister, under a Prince appointed by persons, towards whom CAPO D'ISTRIAS is well known to entertain equal contempt and hatred ? and above all, one whose elevation is disapproved of by Russia ? That this is the case we do not entertain the smallest doubt, if even the Cabinet of Saint Pe tersburgh should seem to approve, and the Prince pro ceeds to his alleged destination. Our conviction is, that the Count will quit Greece long before the arrival of his successor, and that every obstacle will be thrown in the way of LEOPOLD'S accession. As we have repeatedly said, it is much to be lamented that a distinguished mili tary leader, uniting, at the same time, political talents of a high order, bad not been selected. Under such aus pices, Greece would soon rise into power and splendour. As matters have been and continue to be managed, we see nothing in the fortune of that unhappy country but internal discord,and a fertile source of contention among the Protocol makeA. The Sunday Partisan of the Apostolicals of Spain and Portugal, is sadly annoyed at the want of respect shown to the Usurper, at the exposure of his degrading vices, and especially at his being dmlkel Miyaa. So far as re gards the accounts given in the STA R—and we have said more on the subject than any other Journal during the period it has been devoted to the interests of freedom and reform—we assure the partisan in question, that so far from exaggerating the vices, ignorance, and folly of MIOUEL, who shall never be dif ferently styled by us, we have greatly underrated them. It is true—and we do not forget—that the usurper is a branch of one of the most illustrious families in the world, and that the throne he wishes to mount, is one of the most ancient in Europe. Having admitted thus much, we assert, and are ready to prove, that his frequent treasons, perjuries, and usurpation, have deprived hint of every title to respect and allegiance : and that, so far from the fact of his being connected with the most illustrious family in Europe affording any palliation to his iniquities, it aggravates them an hundred fold. Had not Allot:Er. been prone to vice, and the willing instrument of a cruel faction, the recollection of a glorious ancestry would at least have restrained him from setting all laws—human and divine—at defiance, and plunging a whole people into slavery and wretchedness. We cannot dismiss this subject without expressing an anxious hope that those Members of either House, who intend to bring forward amendments to the Address, will not forget our policy towards Portugal. After the promises of many years, on the part of Prince METTERNICH, Venice, fallen Venice, has been declared a free port. We are enabled to state, that, as in the case of Cadiz, nothing but the dread of seeing the former Queen of the Mediterranean abandoned alto gether, and its magnificent palaces crumbled into dust, would ever have led to this seeming act of liberality. It is difficult to conceive any thing more calculated to excite sympathy than the rapid decay of this once flourishing and beautiful city, since it was handed over to Austria. Our first visit to Venice took place in 1817, where we had the high happiness of meeting the 'immortal and lamented author of Childe Harold. Though she had begun sensibly to feel the effects of political despotism and commercial restriction, there was a great deal of bustle and considerable appearance of wealth. Travellers could amuse themselves, there being several theatres open—and the soirees were numerous and elegant. The emigration of the nobles had not then become general. But how rapidly decay bad gone on in the following ten years may be imagined, when we state, that during our se cond visit in 1827, there was not a single place of amuse ment in the whole City—only one English vessel in the port, and not more than a dozen of other na tions—while nine tenths of the marble palaces, the master-pieces of modern architecture, ware un tenanted, the cenotaphs of perished spleadonr.—Se. veal of these costly edifices were palling down, and the materials selling off to pay the debts of their once opulent proprietors. As to the Rialto and Square of St. Mark, they were quite deserted, except by porters and idlers, whose wan visages and tattered, rags bespoke the lowest stage of poverty and indigence. The decrease of inhabitants, within the ten years, had exceeded twenty thousand! But while we rejoice most heartily that the oft-repeated prayer of the remaining inhabitants has been attended to by their semi-barbarous and rapacious task-masters, we much doubt whether the measure will rescue Venice from that utter ruin which she seems destined to experience. Nothing but the restoration of her independence, and the estab lishment of free institutions, can ever afford the late Queen of the Adriatic any chance of regaining her lost prosperity. Whenever the people of Italy, recollecting the voice of PETRA RCH and MACHIAVELLI, shall unite and drive the barbarians across the Alps, she will, doubt less, participate in the glory, as well as benefits re sulting from that grand desideratum. More than one great authority has said, that a nation, when once fallen, never rises. GOD forbid that this opinion should be infallible ! At all events, it forms no part of our political creed : on the contrary, we are convinced that the great characteristic of modern civilisation is to regenerate the fallen, and render those who can st ill boast of any social advantages better and wiser. At an early hour this morning the Paris Journals of Friday were received, from which we make a few inter esting extracts. Among these, the most remarkable is, that the Ottoman Ministry is not indisposed to negociate for the cession of Palestine to the Jews. From the Monitettr. The Official Part contains the following Royal Ordinances : L—Art 1. There shall be created in the Department of the Minister of War a Consultative Committee, for the administration of that department. Art. 2. The Committee shall consist of five members. Art. 3 To be called Intendant in Chief, with an an nual salary of 10,000 francs. 11. Barons de Joinville, Berger de Castellan. Denniee, Reg nante. and Volland, are appointed Intendants-in-Chief. 111. There shall be created In the War Department special Con sultative Committees of Infantry and Cavalry, each consisting of five Lieutenant-Generals, one of them to be President, and four Major-Generals. IV. Appoints the Members of these two Committees. (These Ordinances are dated 27th Dec. and 3d January.) PARIS, Jas. 28. By an Ordinance of tbe 27th inst. his Majesty has been pleased to raise to the dignity of Peers of the Kingdom, Messrs. the Duke de Cereate, the Marquis de PaWert, Count de la Boudonnaye, the Baron de Vitrolles, Count Bugnot, and Lieut.-General Count Vallee. From the Gazette de France. PARIS, Jas. fie. The Nuremburg Correspondent alarms that proposals for the ces sion of Palestine base already been made to the Porte; that the English Ambassador has undertaken the negotiation, in the name of the Jewish house in question; and that the Ottoman Ministry is not indisposed to enter into an arrangement. From the Messager des Chambres. MADRID. Lax. IL The cold, the Intensity of which increases its a manner hitherto unknown, continues to cause disease to spread to a most alarming degree. Happily but few persons have died. Death, however, has not spared the Duchess de Frias. The King has lately had an stuck of the gout, which prevented the levee at Court the day penes,. ywYrday; but It w hoped that hi. majesty will soon recover. It seems certain that the King of Naples has claimed the balance of the dowry that was due to him as heir of the first wife of oar Sovereign. whe he was only prince of Asturias, and that his Ma jesty has ordered that the profits of the lottery shall be employed in this sum. From the Journal des Debuts. Letters from Bordeaux, of the 25th say " This day the Court Ruyal has given its detision respecting the Indicsfeur and the Breton Subscription. The editor of that Journal is condemned to one month's imprisonment and 1,000 francs in.. The Duchess de Frias died at Madrid on the 17th instant of a dropsy. From the Journal du Commerce. Letters from Toulon of the 44th state, that " Several houses at Marseilles have received orders from M. Eynard to send funds to Greece. Already have 'okra' bearers of speck appeared here for that destination, and the packages containing the cash have the fol. lowing directions on them. " 'Money sent by the Emperor of Rus sia to the President of Greece ;" and upon others, " Money sent by M. Eynard, to be specially employed in agriculture." PARIS STOCK EXCHANGE.

The poor of Paris are represented in a state of great distress. With all the character of levity and frivolity, of that capital, their condition has not failed to excite in it the deepest sympathy. me opera lately performed for their benefit produced no less than 60,000 francs— L 2,500 sterling. This, in a city the population of which does not amount to two-thirds of that of London, and where the disproportion in wealth is infinitely greater, may be considered an extraordinary effort of benevolenoe. If the intimations given in some of our Ministerial Jour nals, respecting the views of the Duke of War.- LINOTON, have any foundation in fact—if they be not mese speculations formed upon a false mea sure of his mind, and conceived in an abject spirit of the basest panda:ism—we may be prepared to find, in the ensuing Session, the staSs of the poor in Paris referred to at a source of comfort to our own paupers, and a triumph to our Government : bat hers the compa rison must end. The cry of distress that resounds through every pert of England, is not heard in France beyond.the walls of the capital; or, V beard, it is only here and there in faint murmurs. It booty in EOM once " happy England"—that distress is become universal throughout all her manufacturing and agri 'cultural classes. We think it impossible that . the Noble Du=n should maintain, as his scribes anticipate, that it does not exist in some places, and is exaggerated in others. To its existence, to a frightful excess in the country, every honest representative who has spent a portion of the recess among his constituents, will bear testimony. If he would be convinced of its existence in town, let him visit the Mendicity Office in Red Lion square. It is not merely the houseless poor, whom the severity of the season has thrown out of work, and for the swarms of whom it has been found necessary to pro vide new places of shelter, he will meet there. No : be will meet crowds of individuals, of both sexes and of all ages, all presenting the appearance of better days—individuals whose manner and address indicate a station in life above the lower orders—eagerly soliciting the relief afforded by that laudable institution, and without which they would probably perish !

New York Papers to the 9th January were received this morn. ing at the North and South American Coffee-house, brought by the Allen, Captain Cobb. The Paper of the 4th January states : We have seen a Vera Cruz Paper, containing a Circular front the Minister of the Interior at Mexico, which intimates that all the Spanish officers who were in the Mexican service, sad now ex pelled from the Republic, are allowed to return and enter the ser vice again." The Paper of the Bth says We learn from Montreal that there has been little or no frost in that vicinity for nearly a fort. night, aid the cattle were out again in the fields : the ferry-boats were plying, but with interruption, across to La Prairie, and the steam-boats might have been kept running had they not been laid up." Commence OF PHILADELPOIi.—Froon the lat January to the Slat December, 11129. there entered the port of Philadelphia 92 ships, 174 brigs, 167 schooners, and one sloop. General Barradas, the Commander of the Spanish Expedition, arrived at New York on the 25th December by land, and em barked for Havre In the packet ship Fracas the First. He re mained incognito, and went en board the ship in a private manner. Letters from Vera Cruz state that Mr. Poinsett, with his Se cretary, had taken passage in the packet ship Virginia. which was to sail about the 13th December for New York. The information from Alexandria states that the Viceroy has resumed his armaments, and has not given up the idea of the con• quest of Barbary. Several French dicers of artillery and marine have been engaged in his service. and it is said that the English Admiral is to be at the head of his navy. The following is stated to be the will of the Queen of Portugal that all her diamonds are to be divided between her sons and daughters ; the chateau of Ramona° is given to Don Miguel; the chateau of Quadras is to be given to the Religious Sisters to form a house of refuge. HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK. In regard to political news, we have none to the present time, owing to which no important speculations have taken place in the Funds during the murning. Consols, which were in the early part of the day at 9f for the Account, reached to 93j; since which they again receded to ■t which price they may be quoted at present, alternately buyers and yellers, and Mel j for money. It appears that money is very plentiful also at St. Peters burgh, as the Bank there has decreed to discount at fear pc cent. instead of five per cent. Persons who pretend to kneti die con tents of his Majesty's Speech say it is very favourable. In the Foreign Market there is scarce a feature worth ellnures. tion. Greek is not so good as in the early part of the maeslng; in the other Funds scarce a bargain doing. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
