FRENCH PAPERS. CHAMFER OF PEERS. The Projet of the Law respecting the Liberty of the Press was discussed in the Sittings of tha 2341, 27th, 50th August, and Ist September. It was adopted with different Amendments in the Sitting of this day. CHAMBEII OF DEPUTIES. snllmo OF THE 3D SEPTEMBER. The Abbe de MONTESQUIOU informed the Chamber that the King, by a Declaration of that day, had consented to the Amendments proposed by the Cen tral Committee. The Minister added, that his Ma jesty had judged it proper to substitute for the word intereth, used in Art. 26, to designate the premium of 8 per cent. attached to Cie royal obligations, the word inlinniSet, as expressing snore accurately the intention and object of this part of the Pnancial plan. An interest supposes a is an, and here the Creditors lend nothing. It is a delay which the Government proposes to the Creditors, and- for this delay it is pro per to grant some indemnity. Tile only change in the article was, the substitution of iaainuity fur interest. A motion was made for sending it to the Durcanx. M. DUMOLARD.—I demand to be heard respecting the execution of the 46th Article of the Constitutional Charter. The PRESIDENT (M. Laine).—You may be heard when the Assembly shall have find the mode of de liberating on the projet. M. DUNIOLARD insisted. The PRWDENT.--• I cannot alloy: you to speak. M. DUMOLARD.—I demand it in the name of the Constitution. The PRESIDENT.—The extent of a di,scussion, in whiz!) the Chamber has taken so keen _an interest, renders it necessary to take a retrospect cf the pro gress and the results of it. The Chamber will take the amendments into con sideration before deliberating on the principal ques. tion. Some of these amendments have been proposed by the Committee and adopted by the King ; these ought to constitute a part of the projet. Others have been proposed by different Members in the course of the discussion. Were these to be considered as amend ments ?-I'he President went successively over the different amendments proposed, and concluded thus 44 Are we to deliberate on the amendments consented to by the King, as forming a part of the proposed law ? Ought we to adopt the previous question re specting all the ether amendments ? Shall we deli berate article by article ?" M. CASENAVE declared that he cenidered it his duty to claim the execution of the 40th article of the Constitution, by which all Amendments proposed, and agreed to by the King, ought to be sent to the Bureaux. The Amendments could ouly be consi dered AS modifications of proposed laws, and not, as has been pretended, to laws made and adopted. He wished the division of the titles of the Projet as more favourable to the freedom cf voting ; for, said he; if I am obliged to vo e on the totallily of the Projet, I aleclue diet I shad give a hostile vu e ; wh e reas I should vote sep p.-atc,y for the Budget of 151.1, un Account of in urgency admit that of 1515, if a di _ Titinuti:. , o in the centimes be agreed to; and reject • the mode of liquidation of the ariters, as contrary to the public interest. hi.Dumca.Ano declared, rv-t w:tat had fallen from the preceding speaker, he had main further to sae. _ _ • M. MOTWIETIX D'OntEn thought all the parts of the Preiet were intimately connected together and inseparable. M. PRUNfLE was of a contrary opinion. • M. DUNIOLARD continued to demand ti:e sending the amen:lt:ems to the Bureuar. Gentlemen (added this speaker), the plan •on which You are about to pronounce, is •of the greatest importance. It will hive a great influence on all France, on its agricul tural riches, on all the means of reproduction. I cannot be too prompt in determining. I declare that I have not even had time to read the different 04- nions which were certainly ordered to be printed fur our consideration. In the name of the Cf•nstitutional Charter I demand that the Amendments be sent to the Bureau; and that there be an adjournment for four days. M. LAILMIDE opposed this demand. He demanded the previous cvestinn on ail the amendments. M. Sittna.ox was astonished that any one could propose to reject the amendments en masse. M. Bowfin wished the deliberation on the whole of the law. M. Ilf.noc said, the best manner would be to del berate on etch Amendment. ' M. Coura denimided the voting article by article, by rising and sitting. M. FLAUGERGUES said, this form of the law ought to pissed bekre the modification. M. ()Limn wished the previoiss question to be put. M. DITON r opposed the voting en masse on the different amendments. The PRESIDEST said the rule required the previous question to have a preference to every thing; and this was without inconvenience, as it was in the p/,wer of each Memb!r to reject tile previous ques tion. 'the next course was to decide whether they w )old deli:crate, Article by Article, commencing w.th the ameminiznts, and passing from them to the vote on ►itie projzt ? The Pre,i,!ent havin' successively put the three queti:lnc in the way laid down by him, the Chamber decided on voting on r►,e amendments agreed to by the King ; 111‘,..y rejected the previous question, and they pronclinc:Jd in favour of the deliberation, Ar ticle by Article. The seven first Articles were adopted almost with out discussion. _ _ A very lively discussion took place on Article 8. The &eject of the Amendments was to lower tne Cen times to 6t), 50, 45, and some so kw as 30. The question of priority was given to the fixation of 50 Centimes, and the Article, thus amended, was adopted. The Article 26, relative to the indemnity, was submitted to discussion. M. Dustotam proposed the reduction from 8 to 6 per cent. The previous question was demanded. Two trials were successively doubtful, and they proceeded to A Si!Mq scrutiny. The result was, that of 229 'voiefs, 122 reJccted the Alma: mat, and the Ankle 26 was adopted. Article 31, relative to the Forests, was carried by a considerable majority. The PRESIDENT declared that the projet of the law respecting the finances, was adopted. The Sitting was adjourned to Monday. PARIS, SIPTEMBFR 4. A naval division, with garrison troops on board, sailed from Brest on the Ist of September, under the command of Captain Milius. It proceeds to the Win dward Islands, in order to resume po.session of the colonies restored to the King by the Treaty of peace of the 30th of May last.—Moniterr. The plan of law on the Liberty of the Press was yesterday adopted by the Chamber of Peers, with se ♦eral amendments. In yesterday's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, the Abbe de Montesquion acquainted the Chamber, that the King, by a declaration of that day's date, which his Excellency laid on the table, had given his consent to the amendments pripo3ed by the Central Committee, on the law relative to the Budget. Marshal Soult has arrived at Paris from Rennes. A merchant of Nantes has received a letter from Martinique of the 22d June, to the following effect : " Letters from St. Domingo, of a recent date, that the Blacks expect their masters with impatience, and that they have ranged themselves under the white flag, that emblem of happiness and peace, of which they have been deprived ever since their pretended liberty t' BERLIN, AUGUST 22. It would appear that the Emperor of Russia will leave Petersburgh sooner than was supposed. In con sequence, the stay of elm Monarch in his capital will be short. The two Princes will meet at Toeplitz, in B themia, and arrive together at Vienna on the '27th September. It is now looked upon as certain, that the kingdom of Poland will be restored, and that Austria has con sented to cede Galicia. VIENNA, AUGUST 12. Count De Clamm has announced to the Conn of Vienna, that the Emperor of Russia intended to set out from Petershurgh on the 12th, to arrive at Vienna on the 20th September. BANKS OF THE MAINE, AUGUST 27. The people of the left bank of the Rhine pay seve ral duties in addition to those levied u hile under the French Government. The Conscription is abolished, but it is succeeded by the Landwehr. PALERMO, AUGTI.3I' 16. Since the dissolution of the Parli:tment, great dis content prevails in Sicily. The Government is in open opposition to the English. Many Officers of that nation have been maltreated by night, and some popular comn.:.,tion against the British troops is dreaded. The English party is in a state of perseet. lion : those who obtained office through English in. fluetice are every d.ty dismissed ; sume of them are even arrested. It is presumel that the English are preparing to leave us. All the materials of the barracks which they constructed in 1810, on the line of Pharos, have been srld by auction. The Sicilian frigate Minerva sailed nn the 9th, with an English frigate, and proceeded tor Tiieste, to bring back Queen Caroli;ie and Prince .Lt•opoid. GENOA, AUGUST f.?.. • , o.ir situation is singnlar enough. Our Govern ment has been restored to us ; iE appoints to all offices. We have the appearance of being our own mas•ers, and yet English troops continue to occupy our forts ; nay, some new corps of that nation are expected to arrive. They apply to their own use our marine, and our arsenal, though they du not interfere in civil matters. We arc constantly told that the Congiess of Vienna will alter this state of things, and that our territory will be restored to us. The English are for. ward in telling us that they will support our cause, and in truth they have an interest in our indepen dence, so that we may believe them. But still they would only ask sdnie establishment at Spezzia, from whence they could inspect the Mediterianean at a distance ! The Genevese military, who having served with the French, are entitled to a pension, have been in vited to present their claim to the chamber of war. THE EVENING STAR. LON DON.

The Monitrur announces the sailing of an expedition from Brest, to take possession of the West India Llands, ceded by the Treaty of Peace. St. Domingo is again described to be willing to receivt the Bowman with open arms. We notice one or two articles from Ge noa, and from Sicily, in which the English are blamed by implication. These are of French manu facture, and as such arc the less deserving of notice. Great importance is attached by mercantile men in the city, and we may almost say, by such men only, to every rumour respecting the Negotiations at Ghent; unfortunately for those who affirm that they were completely broken off on the 25th ult., it appears by letters a the 3d instant, from Ghent, that the Com missioners still hold conferences.—But, say those who are Belts in American produce (for this should not be lost sight of) these are not for political objects, but merely to wipe off, by an interchanse of apologies, any irritation that might have been e±cited by.intem pirate language during the previous discussions.— As those who make this statement must, of course, be well informed of every thing that passes in these conferences; they may have good reasons for the opi nions which they propagate ; but others who are not so well informed on these points, may be allowed to entertain a little scepticism respecting their perfect accuracy. In a few days, it is probable, we shall hear of m6re meetings. Shalt we be then told, that these' were for the purpose of interchanging apologies for the rudeness of former apologies ? If the Negocia. tisas be broken off, some mode of accounting for the continued conferences of the Agents must be devised. . We need only add, that if any thing has been suf fered to transpite respecting the negotiations, it couli only be by some of the Commissioners themselves ; and, judging from some late mercantile speculations in the British markets, some have supposed that such an unwarrantable disclosure has actually taken place. It is, however, as easy to be credited that some of the Commissioners could assist in propagating falsehoods to aid mercantile speculations, as that they would ex pose the actual state of the negotiation.—Both are equally credible or equally incredible : the public should therefore receive with much caution the re ports that are so industriously propagated.—The ne gociations, whatever delays may have intervened, are not broken off. We have every reason to believe that a Provisional Treaty is actually in a state of great for. wardness. Mr. DALLAS, it is said, has carried out such information as will enable Congress to come to an immediate decision respecting the basis ; and will, no doubt, return with full powers to the Cornnusiuners immediately to conclude the Provisional Treaty. Two Hamburgh Mails have arrived this morning. The Princess of WALES is about to make the tour of Italy. An article from St. Petersburgh states, that Count NESSELRODE has been appointed Minister fir Foreign Affairs, and that Count ROMANZOFF had re ceived the ENIPERORN permission to retire on account of ill-health. This is directly opposed to a report, which is noticed in some of the Morning Papers, that ROIIANZOPY was in high favour with the Emperor ALEXANDER. It is true that Co►►nt ROMANZOF/P hap pened to be the Russian Minister when the Treaty of Peace was concluded at Tilsit, and he has been charged, and, perhaps, unfairly, with partialities for the Continental System, and the NAPOLEON Dynasty. The time has passed when the appointment of Count RONIANZOFF, even if all these calumnies against hits were correct, would have excited any alarm ; besides his return to office is, at least, problematical : COPENHAGEN, AUGUST v.s. Count Joackim Von Berndorff is commissioned to go to the Congress at Vienna, as Second Plenipoten tiary with his brother, the Danish Ambassador ex traordinary, and has aheady proceeded thither by way of Lubeck. It seems certain that Prince Chris tian will arrive here from Norway in a few days. POSEN. AUGUST te. On the 17th the Polish troops returning from Fiance marched in Isere with much pomp. under General Krasinski, and after a few days repose will proceed to Warsaw. MENTZ, AUGUST Is. With great pleasure we see the good uoderstand- ing that prevails between the troops of our garrison. Lately, on occasion of a solemn religi:rts cere mony, the church was so crowded, that few could get a seat. The Austrians who had got seats, volun tarily give them up at times to their Prussian brethren in arms ; and, vice verve', sharing here also equally in rest and repose, as they had shared the dangers and triumphs of war. BERLIN, AUGUST 27. The first three-masted ship which has been built at Dar.tzic for many years, lately received, on being launched, the name of Prince Blucher. On the 21st instant, the Russian, Lithuanian, and Finland Regiments of the Gn ads arrived at Post on their march home. LUBECK, AUGUST 29. To-day the 21 di risiou of the Russians began to embark at Travemunde ; they will be all on board in two days. Several balls have been given on board the Admiral's ships, and at Travemunde, to which the inhabitants of Lubeck and strangers of distinction were invited. BRUNSWICK, AUGUST 27. The day after to-morrow her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales will set out by way of Wordheim and Cassel, on her journey to Italy. WARSAW, AUGUST 22. Prince Admiral Czartoveski, formerly Russian Mi nister for Foreign Affairs, is arrived here from Lon don.—On the 13th instant the body of Prince Ponia towski was deposited with all due ceremony in the Chapel at Lowrez, twelve German miles from this city. Lowrez formerly belonged to Marshal Davoust, but has been long since confiscated, with all the estates attached to it. The Russian Supreme Council here has ordered a proper quantity of forage, for the horses belonging to the travelling equipages of his Majesty the Em peror and Prince Constantine, for which a sum of 60,000 florins is appinted from the Russian Trea sury. The Palace of Prince Poniatowski is putting in repair for the reception of the Grand Duke. It is not yet known whether General Kosciusko will return to his country. ST. IH, AUGUST H. On the day before yesterday the Imperial Foot Guards made their solemn entry through the newly erected triumphal gate. The Emperor, with the Grand Dukes Michael and Nicolas, rode to meet them; in the evening the city was finely illuminated. The Empress Mother gave, on the 10th, a splendid fete at Pawlosk to celebrate the return of the Em peror. Under a triumphal•arch hung with crowns of oak, olive, and laurel, the Emptess took the laurel crown and placed k on the head of he•angtut so: The brilliant fireworks concluded with a bouquet o 12,000 sockets. ST. PETERSBITRGH, AIICUST Is. The Ptivy Councillor, Count Nesselrode, has rato ceived the Vortfeuille of the Foreign Department. His Majesty has written a most flattering letter to , Count Roznatizoi, granting h;s request to retire, oat account of his health. SAXONY, AUGUST £3. Under this head is a very long article r; 3:tect;r.t the reports concerning the sentiments and pol;!ica: conduct of the King of Saxony;. the nriter dezlaret. that the Saxons despise all smelt ili,founded Terri which the blessings of the King's Ctivernrn77.t 1„ the love of his subjects fully contradict: hvr, Ciat it is impossible to pass' over in silence, an art:.-l: in RJrirrifh hirreary, which evidently dictated, ty dar: malice and shameless calumny, in 0i . ..0r to give Cie Saxons a false idea r f their Sovereign. This is the article which declares that the King be trayed to tonaparte the play communicated to him in confidence by Austria, and that he was promised for this treachery the Marche of BrandenbUrg, and a part of Bohemia. The writer declare: the s: hole story to be a fabrication. Napoleon has chosen for hi s s Arms a Be and a. sleeping Eagle. Exchange on London, 30 f. 10 c. LUBECK, AUG. 29. A Danish Commissioner has passed through here to Copenhagen, with the Treaty of Peace between Prussia and Danmark, signed at Berlin on the 25th, by Prince Harden erg, for Prussia, and Count Bar- , denburgh Ravenslow for Denmark.

The Duke of DEVONSHIRE was to leave his •seat, Chatsworth, Derbyshire, yesterday, for Ireland. The Duke of Itscinsoun, arrived on Thursday last at Brussels. Every preparation has been making at Gloucester lodge, Weymouth, for the reception of her Royal Highness the Princess CHARLOTTE of WALES. The French, having n 3 term for our English " Watering Places," their Journalists gravely call them Mauinage:, .1. e. " Anchorages! 1" POSTING IN FRANOL—There is a regulation now adopted in Frame, which orders an open book to be kept at each inn, for a traveller to enter any.com .plaint he may . haee to make against a porter, waiter, or post-boy. There is a regulation at Calais, that if e Gentleman chuses w take his own carriage on through France, he pays JCSS, ad valorem, at the office there, which is re turned to him as soon as be reaches Calais again. It would seem as if it were advantageous, therefore, to travel in as bad a carriage as possible, fur the worse it looks the less he has to pq. An English General Officer, who happened to be present at Havre-de-Grace, during the riot, in conse. quence of the exportation of corn, states, that the soldiers sheaved no reluctance to interfere; that one woman was severely wounded, others slightly, and the mob was dispersed in a quarter of an hour. Carnot, a French Republican, who always denied the Sovereignty of Napoleon, now denies, in a Pam phlet, that of Louis XVIII. His book is written in p ar t to justify the death of Louis XVI. and partly to a dvocate the cause of a Republican form of Go vernment. He quotes Scripture to prove that King killing is not only justifiable but laudable, and he says , t hat it is commanded by GOD himself. He states, that the death of Louis is not attributable to those who condemned him, but to those Ministers who brought him into danger and then deserted him. He says, that the Kiegs of England formerly did homage to the Kings ofTiance as their liege Lords, but that Louis the XVIII. had dcclared, he owed his crown to the Ptiverlttegettr of England. a Louis XVIII." says he, " may be King of France, but he will never be King of the French !" Such are a few of the points in a pamphlet which is written with great force and eloquence : it is certainly a great curiosity, and proves that the author is insane. Its circulation has been very properly suppressed. WONDERFUL SPEED.—A race for 100 guineas took place on Tuesday se'nnight, over the Blackwater Trotting Ground, between the charger of an Officer of the 14th Dragoons, and a grey, gelding, the pro perty of another Military Officer. The distance (12 miles), was run in 25 minutes 11 seconds, and was nicely won by the charger. Thursday se'nnight, an explosion of foul air took place at General Sents's colherly at Rutherglen.— Two young men, brothers, were killed; and another man had his face and arms much burnt, and his body wounded by the pick-axes striking him, and frac turing his shoulder bone. Saturday, a fine spirited horse belonging to an of. ficer, worth at least eighty guineas, was killed near the new road, Brighton. The gentleman had mounted and given the animal to t boy to hold. who incautiously got on his back, and being unable to Manage him, the horse ran away, and turning round a corner, ran against the shaft of a cart, which entered his body. The boy, almost miraculously, escaped unhurt. A few days ago the coach that runs from Shrews bury to Holyhead, in consequence of ne of the horses taking fright, ran against a turnpike-Aare near Corwen, with such violence that all the outside pas sengers were thrown off. One of them bad his skull fractured so dreadfully that he was not expected to survive more than a day or two. Several Liverpool Gentlemen were on the coach, or in it, at the time of the accident, but they escaped without injury, except one Gentleman, who was severely hurt in one of his arms by falling between the horses.
