FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. 71 OT 111CLITSIVZ. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. The Messager des Chambres, the Gazette de Avow of Thursday, and the entire of the Paris papers of Wednesday. are received this morning. P♦ RI S, J AN. 26.—The letter of General Sebastian' to M. Bresson has excited such general discontent in Paris, that it is possible that something more than the mere verbal expression of disapprobation may result from it.— The nation was already dissatisfied with the Ministry and the Chamber. The letter above alluded to, and the proceedings in the Chamber of Deputies yesterday on the law of pluralities, are eminently calculated to increase that dissatisfaction. It would be too much to say that a crisis is at hand ; but the most superficial observer will perceive that one is approaching which may terminate in the dissolution of both, the Chamber and the Ministry. Fourteen new regiments are about to be raised. The Council of Ministers sat this day in deliberation up to three o'clock ; and it is said and believed, determined upon the re-union of France and Belgium. This news was re ceived here at 25 minutes past three, and produced an in stantaneous rise during the remaining five minutes of bu siness. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, WrIINEIDAT: The Chamber was occupied throughout this day in further discussing the new law relative to taxation. PARIS STOCK Excitant's.

The order of the day was the report of the committee of petitions. The press of matter prevents us from giving an account of this part of the proceedings. We may, however, state that a report was made of the political declaration of more than 20,000 inhabitants of the Grand Duchy of I.usemburg, who protested against any arrangement which tended to separate their province from Belgium. This document was deposited in the archives of the Congress in the following terms:— • The Congress, having already decided that Luxemburg was an integral part of Belgium. directs that those acts of patriotism shall be .eeposited in the archives. The unexpected arrival of M. d'Archot, a member of the diplomatic committee, who requested leave to make a communication to the Can• grew, interrupted the reading of the report of the commission. Profound silence ensued, and much interest was excited animist the 31,4embly. M. d'Arehot mounted the tribune, and read the following letteres-•- " Brussels, Jan. 13. " Sta,—The National Government having thought fit to consult the Government dills Majesty the King of the French, whom feelings of anxiety and friendship towards Belgium are well known, I haws to communicate a despatch which I have just received from his Eseelkaty Count Sebastlanl.—l remain, &c. " Pads, Am. 111. situation of Belgium has again attracted the &Hestia. of the King and Council After a deliberate examination of all the poll. tical questions connected with it, I have been directed to inform you. in a clear and distinct manner, of the intentions of the King's government. He cannot consent to the re.unloo of Belgium to France. He will not accept the crown for the Duke of Nemours, MS were it offered to him by the Congress. His Majesty's government is of opinion that the deice of the Duke of Leuchtenberg would be likely to interrupt the tranquillity of France. We have not the slightest idea of regaled:lg the liberty of the Belgians in their choke of a Sovereign, but we shall exercise our right in declaring, in the strongest manner, that we shall not recognise the election of the Duke of Leuchtenbetg. No doubt the other Powers will not be very favourable to that choice; for our part, we are only influenced in this refusal by state res. sons, to which every other consideration ought to yield, when it does not Interfere with the rights of any individual. The close relation between France and Belgium, the interest his Majesty takes in its inhabitants and the desire we entertain of preserving the strongest ties of friendship between the two nations, call on us to explain clearly and frankly to a people whom we respect and revere. No hostile feeling to the Duke of lauchtenbsrg or his family, whom we highly esteem, influences thlede. termination. The king's government is solely guided by a love of peace, both at borne and abroad. You are fully authorised to give an oaeial Intimation of this resolution of the King's Government, but with that frankness and respect which he is always desirous of maintaining with the Belgian nation. Believe me to remain, Sir, ruts, Ake. " HORACE SEBASTIANI." The reading of this letter was followed by cries of indisnaties.—. A member required that this document should be printed. (" No, not" " yes , y es ; " front several.) M. labour insisted upon the neeessity of printing the document, so that it might be known that the French Government disowned the principle of a free election of a sovereign. (N Bravo, bravo.") Be should also suggest that it be mentioned in the precise verbal, that the Congress had no influents in the investigation which bad beets demanded. M. Demo: supported the lint resolution of 11. Lebeau, and in. veigk'd with much warmth against the answer of the French Cabinet. This refusal to recognise our King is nothing more or leas this an intervention. (" Yes, yes.") 31. Jottnind.—You must all have noticed that the note of 111. bastiani speaks throughout of the Government of the King of the French. We know that these words mean the ministry. This is a doctrine a little contested In France, as it will be in this count r y, us soon as our new constitu t ion shall be in full force. Well, then, this Government of the King of ths French, which threatens not to recognise our choice, will probably be thought nothing of here in a tee weeks. Other ministers will belong, in a few weeks, to that Government of the King of France. What has taken place between 31. Sebastian' and us will hasten that change. You may sow jedge whether the interests of Belgium ought to be sacrificed to the opinion of a cabinet which will, in all probability, be dismissed on account of those very opinions. kir. Itobauls spoke with muds energy against the 'newer of t h e Cabinet of the Palals Royal.

Cnintocc.t.—.ffittinour speaks every day more loudly of the efforts that are making on the pert of the Aristocratic Borough-holders to re. slat Reform, anti, by combining to withhold their support when that great question comes on, to force ministers to resign. by driving them into a minority. Such a combination, for such a purpose, we conceive to he the greatest calamity that could befal the nation. Us success would be equivalent to a declaration of hostilities, and dreadful will be their responsibility who hazard the result. If a war of vengeance is once provoked, no human foresight can predict the calamities that may—that must follow in the train of it. It is madness to hope that the cause of corruption can be brought to prevail against the cause of the people. Nothing can endanger the latter but the apt thy of the people themselves. If the reforming spirit of the government is backed by the united energy and active &al of the great body of the nation, there is no counteraction that can defeat it.— A ministry, strong in the strength M the people, is irresistible. If the many are content to sow and to reap for the few— if they are content to dig and sweat, that the rich borough.owners may riot in the harvest, leaving to them the gleanings of the field, as matter of grace and favour. Were it to, our opponents would have every thing to hope, for their sonlidence would be well justified. The powerful sup. port of Lord Brougham would be paralysed, and the efforts of Lord Althorp be brought to nought. But happily the case is far otherwise, and the opening of the campaign against Reform will only manifest the insane calculation of the Council of war by which it was planned. HItnALD.II appears pretty MUDD, from the " signs of the times, • that Parliament will be the KM of • great and fierce straggle on the question of Reform. Already the boroushmongers prepare them selves for battle, putting on • panoply far different from the 64 whole armour of eighteenmos," that they may defend the * rotten parts of the Conethation" from the assault with which they are threatened. Whether they will, with the desperate energy of the High land Thane, bang out their booms on the outer wall. and tight man to man la the breach. or whether they will prefer resting their hopes of safety on springing a mine beneath the feet of their antegonists, remains yet to be seen. Certainly lane indications hare already appeared of preparations being in progress for the latter mode of defence. Indeed. the circumstances of the times hardly allow of any chance of success to the champions of the rottes.borangh system In open warfare ; and, therefore, we should not be surprised to find that they had taken advantage of the present long recess of Parliament to arrange same plan of political strategy which may sup ply, by secret and well.coocerted movements, the want of force necessary for more open operations. By such mews was the celebrated India bill of Mr. Fox defeated la the House of Lords, while that ggrnaet Swesman was himself Minister, and which defeat caused the w of his ad. ministration. The present Premier, one of the ablest and most high. minded of the pupils of Mr. Charles Fox. knows, from old experience, the difficulties that the question of Reform, must. of necessity, en. counter. There is a retributive justice which Statesmen are not apt to calculate upon—but which the Divine Wisdom that governs the universe has ordained shall grow out of the politieal vices which it is designed to chastise. Mark it in the present instance. The champions (tithe rotten borough system hurried the nation into the destructive war against France, which nearly ruined the two finest and most enlightened countries in Europe. Out of that war grew the gigantic national debt, which in its grinding operation on the national resources and the national industry, makes the cry for Re. form more land gad general than-ever it was before. If Earl (hey suc ceed in breaking down that borough system in 111211, which in 1714, with the splendid talents of Mr. Fox to support him, be could not touch, he will owe it to that debt, which the borough.patrons created, and whic!o deemed, a on avalanche to overwhelm themselves. num.—Theft has been hate.lZmcording to the best intelligence— and in fact we have already denounced it--a plan for thwarting the mea sure of reform at every stage of its progress through the House of Com. mans. Almost incredible as such an enterprise might appear, in the pretest state of public feeling and opinion throughout England, we are told that the thing is undeniable. The pardsa is this plot hays agreed among themselves in a conclave, hold lately at a attain country seat (it matters not where), to oppose Parlianseettary reform to the uttermost, and to make their systematic stand OM this opposition.

The Twigs, per eatelletem, hate Sir Robert Peel : they will have no thing to do with him—nothing to say to him, either towards bad gering the presses Ministry. or towards forming a new one ; nor will the Duke of WsilMiton be apt to nerve under an o ld col e, whom his Orace is sold to regard as but his own lieutenant. But tkge is another party which may, perhaps unconsciously, cause as much mis. chief as the regularly organised opponents of reform ; we mean the radi cals, who, with their hopes meted by a reforming Ministry, aim at procuring by one stroke all those results which few but thEinselves think of paramount importance. We want this pony, whom intentions we believe to be good, but whose seal we think too exacting, to be careful lest they fall into the snare already prepared foe them by the tory eon.

If the period. however. should wive when it mold be demonstrated to me that he people of this country were to be shut out from the fullest par ticipation of the bleseings of the English constitution—if that conserve tire principle of the Constitution which bestows upon every man in Eng. land the fullest freedom of opinion and of discussion, and which has, I believe, preserved that country in safety and securiq, whilst the ruins of other nations fell around her—if the ime Imo, when that principle were invaded, then would I be. come an advocate of any peaceful system w: ieh, by restor. l ing to behind ado tiestic legislature, would most likely confer upon her an exemption form rash experiments upon the public libeety. (Loud eh sing.) 1 cannot be suspected of any desire to traduce the character or the motives of the nobleman at the head of the Irish goventniert. I am one of those who followed in his train when he made his entry into this metropolis, and, on that occasion, I endured many unpleasant in. 1 dications of popular dislike.

A sense of duty would now prvv..nt me, however humble as I mins myself to be, from joining in any tribute of attachment to his person or to his administration. (Tre. ominous cheering.) It is with heartfelt i.ain and as an enemy of the repeal of the Union, that I declare. I regard the recent proceedings ut . the Government as eminently calculated to augment the popular ex citation. increase the measure of national discontent, and prolong. if not perpetuate, a system of agitation, which, I will be bold to say. could have been conciliated and extinguish, d by • wise and tempt. rate administration of the ordinary laws of the land, and by devis ing, in gond earnest, means of improving the condition of a coon try, which is confessedly in a state of great suffering and wipe. ralleled impoverishment. It is idle, however, in the times in which we live, to attempt to repress the workings of the public mind. There is in these days a power which mocks at Mute force—that power by which governments are raised up and dynasties pulled down—the power of public opinion. It proceeds silently on its course, but it walks in irre. sistible strength. It is not to be extinguished by force, although it may be won by persuaskm—to its supremacy must all public questions yield There is M a people a mom pervading wisdom ' as well es more moral strength. than in their milers. The mime with England ma only be preserved by convincing the people of this country that it is fee the public benefit so preserve the eassezion. Any rash attempt on the past of those in power to coerce the public sentiment; any unconstitutional infringement upon those rights which make the Union more than a mere parchment bond, will not fail to suite national antipathy, establish steady and determined peneverance, and augment and multiply the nes& bets of those who regard the repeal of the Uoieo as a meson likely to benefit their country.—(Lettd chews.)

He ( Mr. Daniel O'Connell) ammend— his name tem propowd —he was balloted for se. mike, and they black-bawd hint. (Hisses.) There was the re =imt foe his services to them. for elevating them from the con of slaves to the rank of independent legislators. (Loud cries of diseggeolledes.) Now he would ask the Protestants of Ireland wheher, after sB Ilia, they were afraid of a enntbination between Catholics, in the ems of a repeal of the Union being carried ? Mr. O'Connell then mentiened that he had gone to talk with Mr. Nicholas Mahon, whose memo ',peered to the hole-and-corner address that day, in business, when Mr. Mahon told him that John David Latouche bad betrayed him into signing it.—The Honourable Gentleman then proceeded to mg, that he had risen to return them thanks for the notice they had bestowed on him.

On Saturday evening last as the Bridgewater Hero coach was passing near the halloo of Mr. Self, a reapeetiYe farmer, near Ameabtu7, Wilts, a rick of barley, ci.ri;:lin ing about 1,000 bushels, was then on fire, and coieniiiiing with great rapidity. Our correspondent Motels us, th:,t the same gentleman had a rick of hay and anolher of beans destroyed about five weeks since, it is supposed by au incen diary, and that it is difficult to account for the motives of such a diabolical act, es Mr. Self is a highly respectable man, and much beloved in the neighbourhood where he re sides.—Bridgewater Herald. Several papers have recently been dropped at night in the town of Ilminster, threatening personal violence against various individuals; in consequence of which the principal Inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood have circulated notices, offering a reward of 1001. for the discovery and conviction of the writer or distributor of such papers. The following is the copy of one of the above-mentioned papers, several of which were dropped in and about the town on Sunday night:—" Old Henning shall Let Iris Laud in Smaller Farms, and at a lower Rate and Drop the Tithe also, if he do not he shall Dye his Blond is Required, if he keep himself in his closet he shall Dye."— A Ere broke out on the night of the 18th, at Hijhall Farm, at Horniogsey, about six miles distant from Cam bridge, belonging to, and occupied by, the Rev. T. Mus grave, Fellow of Trinity College, and officiating llinist. r of the parish. Three wheat and bean stacks were consumed, and two others partially damaged ; but by great exerlions the fire was got under without extending to any of the adja cent buildings. _ _ We regret to state that the work of incendiarism has rerth el the neighbourhood of Plymouth. On the night of Tu day, the 25th of January instant, certain premises, the pro d arty of Mr. Carpenter, of Morlitonham, near Saltash, a ma , gi grate for Cornwall, were set on fire by some individual, who las yet remains undiscovered. The mansion -house., near to which are the premises that were fir 41, was only saved owing to the unusual stil:n-ss and calmness of the night. There has been a good deal of specuilation in the neighbourhood as to the character of the incendiary. Mr. t arpenter, it seems, nevi.. the labourers of the rarish of any participation in the abomi nable act referred to, he being very popular with that class. not only from his general conduct, but particularly on en count of the course be .00k a• a recent meeting held at ilia house, to consider what as .ins ought to be adopted to alleviate the distress felt in the parish, and which meeting was fully at-, tended by the farmers, taboo rerr, and other inhabitants cf the neighbourhood. On that oc..asion, not only did Mr. Car penter recommend that the farmers should Five advanced wages to the labourers, and provide full employment for t e poor, and to enable them to do so, that the landloria slava' reduce their rents, but he also propose I setting the example himself, by taking off no less than 15 per erne. from hit own rents. The affair app-ars to be enveloped in consi.'er able mystery. On Saturday last, a granary beionging to a p .rtion of th? name of Williamson, occupying a farm beta• Reariby and Systen, Lincolnshire, was consumed during the night by • fire. It was at first supposed to have been the work of Captain Swing ;" but from information since reef ived, it appears that a man named Ward gave another man a shil -1 hag to bold his horse while be mounted tl • ladder, and having effected an entrance at the window, he threw unt a lot of wool, and in order to avoid detection, it osed he set fire to the premises. In the cuurse of Nlonday a l warrant was granted, and the cons•able succeeded in an ' Iprehending him the following morning at Derby, and he was last night lodged in our county gaol. The pri-over. we understand, acknowledges taking the wool, but denies set- • tins the premises on fire, and says there were lb ere con- . cerned in it. Fifteen quarters of wheat, a quantity of beans, beside, a lot of wool, Arc. were totally destroyed. -- Stant "ord Bee.
