FRANCS. • CHAMBER OF DEPUTIF.S. urriNu uP THZ 6TH NY JANUARY. The PRESIDENT called the attention of "the Cham• ber to the Order of the Day for continuing the tie. bate of the Law of Elections. The first and second Articles having been adopted, the Chamber was then to deliberate on the third. which he should read.— The Article sets forth, that the political domicile of , every Frenchman is in that Department in which he _dwells. Nevertheless he may remove to any other Department, where he shall pay direct contributions, making a declaration to that effect six months pre viously, to the Prefect of the Department he is about to quit; and to the Prefect of that in which he is about to reside. In this article the Commission made an amendment, by substituting Lod Tax instead of Direct Tames, and also added a provision to the fol., lowing effect :—Toat the transferring of the domicile shall not give a man the power to exercise any poli tical or civil right, which. during/&K years before, he could not have exercised in the other Depart ment. This exception, holuever. was not to take place in case of a dissolution of the Chamber, be cause then all the Electors of the kingdom would be called on to vote at once. M. Jouvar opposed both these Amendments ; which were supputted by M.M...—RnVIIDEAUandLIZET. The Amendments were at last adopted, with the *lteration of four years in the room of five. Ait. 4, Relative to voting in two Departments, was adopted without opposition. An. 5, which is purely of a regulative natdte„ wit adopted in the form drawn up by the Ministry ; netv form proposed by the Committee was rejected. The same took place with 'respect to the 6th Ar. , gide ; the idioistiVial form was adopted.

M..PAUSAJUD said; . these amendments would des troy the article altogether ; and used many titgusuents to sbew the good effects of the single degree. M. Maaceu.us said, his duty and his love to his King obli him to say, that article 7 was in direct. cop to the Charter.

They would act like that mad gi s go sop h or w h o , wishing to strip the thunder of the cloud that encompassed it, became the victim of his rash experiment. M. ROYSI-COLLARD thought there could wit be a greater Monstrosity than two degrees of election.— To choose those who were to choose, was no election at all. Such a thing could not be conceived in England in Americo. When or • he bad done speaking, several voices tiled out Pat the article to the vote." M. DE BONAS.D opposed the )4. as Berens way for the singld degree. It. COUPIT IYINCOUAT was for the r ejection of the snicks. Several Members called out for the termination of the debate.

On the first col— tics it appeared &sinful, and another was made.--. 1 The Bureaux then declared, that the previous ques tion was adopted ; but in consequence of the objec tions made by the right side, the Chanber prate:dad to a ballot. The PRIONDrer told the Deputies, that those who meant to vote for the previous quesctoo should de- I posit a white ball—the black balis were to denote the admission of the article. A Member—'• There are -persons who think that they should put the two balls in the same urn 1" (Lattgbier.) The following was the result. the number of voters being 224 :—For the adoption of the previous ques tion, 118—Against its adoption, 106—Majority, 12. The Chamber then declared, that there was no ground for deliberating on the question. When the names of the Deputies were called over, it was observed that ail the Anti-Ministerialists were present, and that about 12 Ministerialists were absent. Article 7 was put to the vote and adop%d. The Ministers have thus completely gained their point. Previoes to the commencement of the Debate, the Reporter of the Committee of Petitions was heard : he gave the analysis-of several Petitions. An individual requested that the old coin should resume its former value. The Order of the Day was adopted. Another Petitioner requested that the Cer tificates of Nobility, which had been lost dating the Revolution, should be re-issued.. The Chamber passed to the Order of the Day, upon the ground that the measure in question belonged to thevreroga. tires of the King. These two were the only Peti tions possessing any interest. PARIS, JANUARY 7. His Majesty had a family party yesterday to din- 1 net, consi.ting of Monsieur (Count d'Artois), the Duke and Duchess d'Angouleme. the Duke and' Ducifess de' Berry, the Duchess Dowager of Orleans, the Duchess of Bourbon, and the Prince de Conde. His Majesty, though in possession of perfect health, has not received comp may this evening, according to his custom. General Boron de Vincent, the Austrian Minister Plenipotentiary, had a private audience of the King yesterday, Itt which he delivered to his Majesty a letter, notifying the marriage of the Emperor his master, with the Princess of Bavaria. _ _ Committees of the two Chambers have bad several conferences on the projet for regulating the mode of proceeding of the Chamber of Peers, as a Court 'of Justice. The King and Queen of Wurteraberg left Frank fort on the Ist inst. They were about to pay a visit to the Grand Duke and Duchess of Hesse, at Darm stadt ; they would then proceed to Heidelberg, and from thence to Stuttgard. The Princess Frederica Alesandrina of Prussia, youngest daughter of the King, born 23d February, 1602, is, it is said, to be married to Prince Oscar. son of the Prince Royal of Sweden, born 4th July, 1799. The King of Prussia's eldest daughter is be trothed to the Grand Duke Nicholas of Russia. Last night, a Commissioner named Ford, aged 60, having retired to bed without estinguishing the candle, the curtains took . fire. The neighbons, alarmed by the smoke which issued from the chain ' her, broke open the door, and found the unfortunate man half consumed and without any signs of life. We have already made known the benefit coafer md by the King upon the Philandir4i; Society.- 1 His &Nasty has new declared himself their chief and protector. A Prince, who inherits the dignicy and virtues of Henry the Fourth, the Duke of Berri ; has given 6000 francs to the Society .of which he has condescended' to be President. An extra gift of 3000 francs has been received from the Duchess of Berri. The Prince, in addition to these acts of bounty, bat taken 20 dispensatory tickets, for which he paid 600 francs. The Grand Vicars of Strasbourg have sent 14 Deacons, and 16 Sub-Deacons, to Offeriburg, iu Germany, to native the orders of the Prince Bishop of Basle, who resides provisionally at Offenbourg.— His Highness was desirous last year of proceeding to Strasbourg (or the purpose of ordination, and some danger being now apprehended from the ice in the Rhine, the Clergy of pirasbour g bave considered it -their duty to inform the Prelate of the difficulitei of the passage. he French division which set sail in the month of May last for the East Indies, arrived safe at Port Louis, in the Isle of France, on the 15th of August following. Count Dupuy, Peer of trance, formerly Intendant of all the French Establishments east of the Cape, and still possessing there the title of Civil Governor, received, daring Lis sty in the Colony, the most kind reception. The En . itati Governor 'hewed hint a th ousand civilities. inhabitants came from different canons of the island to see and compliment him—the jnst recompense of modest merit, and of an administration of which he bore all the weight during the nine jean of difficulty. It is added, that the Expedition quitted Port Louis in the beginning of September k nod set sail for Pondicherry, the destination of the Governor General.. 'The Prevotal Court 9f the Upper Rhine, sitting at Colmar, condemned: on the 40th Decembtr, a person named Joseph Wissang, to perpetual h ar d libour and infamy. This individual was emplojed as a workman at the manufactory of Wesserliog.— About the sth of October last, the master workman (Mara) proceeded to Urbes with 2300 francs, in order to make a payment.

ALOHIERI, DECEMBER. iT. • LITTER FROM TILLEY/14ND TO LORD CASTLEREAGH. • ' PARIS,.DECEMBER a Ism Mr, Loan—An article inserted in the Cerrier of the nth of November, represents me as hold ing, et the house of Sir Charles Stuart. in his pre sence and at his table, such language as I never held, and never could hold at the house of the English Am bassador. without forgetting two things which it is not in niy power to forget, and a third which I shall endea vour never to forget. The first is the respect which I owe and which I leel towards the Ling ; the second, the respect which is due to the public and private character of Sir Charles Stuart ; and the third, the respect which I owe to myself. 48 If the anthots of this article had put their names to it, the antidote would have been found at the side of the poison. But, on the one hand they have, by writing anonymously, given to the calumny the credit which their names would have taken from it ; on the other hand, they have, like practised slanderers, coonected their falsehoods with some circumstances which are true ; and, to increase the delusion, they have circulated their story at a distance, and in foreign journals. 44 Such, my Lord, is the cause which makes me think it proper to put in their true light those facts which they have disguised ; and to answer, by a pe remptory negative, both their assertions and their in sinuations, which are equally false. I have also another motive : it is the value which I set upon the ()Onion of such a man as yourself, and upon the opi nion of the people of England. 4 ' If it had ever occurred to me to speak of the losses which the Kevolution inflicted on one of the Ministers of the King, I should not have spoken of them otherwise than as of a calamity which most of the members of my family had experienced as well as him ,• and I should probablyl i have added, what I really think, that this calamity, though irreparable, is not less grievous to the State itself than to those individuals who endured it. 14 It is very true, that I was intrusted with that `commission of which the 'article speaks; it is very true, this I was proud of it ; it is very true that I consider it as one of the finest titles which I could be queath to my family. But I never made a boastful parade of it ; I never made the public my confident; I never displayed it but to a very few persons, and those Frenchmen, with the exception of M. Pono di- Borgo. The making this a pretest to insinuate that I wish to take away from the Allied Sovereigns, and especially from the French people, the glory which belongs to them for the share which they respectively had in the work of the restoration, and to appropriate this glory to myself, shews doubtless great mischie vousness of intention, but at the same time great Want of address. When it is wished to calumniate a man, acts of misconduct which are credible ought alone to be ascribed to him. I take a pride in think ing, however, that it will appear credible to nobody, that I .am capable of a vanity so foolish. With all their insinuations as to my pretended ambition, they only betray their own. When I wished for power, it was fur an object which was attained in 1814 and 1813. Since then, there remained nothing else for inyself to desire but repose. "l'hat is a benefit which I think I have merited. Mty these Gentlemen merit it in their turn I have just enjoyed it for seven months in the country, whither l shall hasten to return to enjoy it again. 44 Alter dinner at Sir Chat ;es Stuart's, the greater part of the persons who were present having gone, the Ambassador being in a room adjoining the draw ing -room, his Lady it: the billiard-roont with the Lady of the Neapolitan Ambassador, there remained only six persons who had called for their carriages. We were waiting for them in a recess by the side of the dour ; it was there that a conversation took place which lasted four minutes at the most, and in she course at which I was naturally led to remark, that difference of functions produced a similar difference of rank among the Ministers ; that ere order accor ding to which each of them was more or less fit for te;rming a principal and habitual centre of relations between the Ministers, collectively taken, and the Members of the two Chambers, taken individually, was by no means arbitrary; that it was fixed by their ifespective functions ; and that, for the sake of utility .as well as decorum, it was greatly to be wished that the natural order should never be broken in upon. I expressed this idea in different ways ; only speaking of the Ministries, not Ministers ; the name of no one , was mentioned. 64 This was precisely the whole of my share in a conversation, which would have been forgotten the next moment, like so many others, had the tunctioes which my interlocutor previously filled been as far from his memory as they were from mine at the mo ment when I was speaking. Out of the five persons who were present with us, there are four who are sat ached to me by the ties of blued and old friendship, 'and whose testimony I will not therefore appeal to. I appeal to that of Mr. Tierney ; it must be suffi cient : his personal character, and his return to Eng land, induce Ise to do so. lam certain hr will tes tify, that in this conversation of a few muumuus li said nothing more, and nothing that could bear o 1 . meaning different from what I have now stated. He will only add, that all this passed in the lone of .the most ordinal,' conversation, and, at least on my part, with the indifference of a man who is waiting for his carriage. o Such, my Lord, is the truth, which it is of im portance to we to communicate to you. 4 , Accept, my Lord, the new assurance of my high Consideration.

MN. pre, By Paris Papers of Tuesday, which arrived la s t night, we find our anticipations, as to the final res.ll t of the discussion on the Law of Election. completey confirmed. All the articles of the law which remai ne d to be voted have passed in the terms proposed t r Ministers. The seventh and last, being that which secures the election by one degree instead of two e. grecs, was not however carried till after a very 1 1 ,,, t discussion, and only by a small majority. The tot.l numbcr of voters was M.: and of these 11E wt.! for the clause, and 106 against it. The law now only waits the additional sanctim et the House of Peers ; and this is looked to with c,.. ,taints even by those who are most hostile to ti c measure. It is pretended that much private and —i. due solicitation has been using by Ministers te gys 4 over the Members of the Upper House ; but imirn, t . tions like these need be little heeded, where there 's so much of a sound policy and patriotism to justify their support, as there is in the present instance. The health of the Ktso is represented as conti. nuing to improve. It is naturally an object of great solicitude to all who are interested in the ;resat administration of affairs; since it is well understood that it is on his single will that Ministers depcnd. His hi/unlit is said to feel much incensed at the Royalist Opposition for the little pains they have taken to conceal their pleasure at the probability of a new succession. The conspiracy at Boardeaux, of the real extent of which we were the first among the Journals of this country, to publish authentic details, is now admitted on all hands to have been one of no indifferent mag nitude.—Not less than 14,000 cards of invitation are stated to have been issued and acct/tied: and in a dis trict so recently the favourite seat of royalism, it is certainly remarkable enough to behold such num bers alteady arrayed on the side of disaffection.— Is there no reason to suspect that some of that Ultra-Royalist spirit which has so indecorously he trayed itself at Court, on the changeful aspect of the King's health, may be the secret source of these more serious agitations in the provinces? An Ultra- Royalist conspiracy is quote as probable an event at the present m.)ment of Ultra• Royalist (lemma; c:e and contusion as any other. Additional Paris Papers of Wednesday have just arrived as our Paper is going to Press, but contain nothing new of importance. The Duke of Wawsorow had on Tuesday a irt vate audience of his MAJESTY. Notice is taken of our celebrated countryman, Dr. JouN DELL. of Edinburgh, having been seized with a violent lissinurhage, in consequence of a previxn rupture of a blond-vessel, from which, we regret to say, there is nut yet Any certain assurance given of his recovery. Her MAJESTY continues to improve in her but has not been able to leave her apartments sini.e her indisposition. 'The Physicians atteniting the Qi:cts have :►3vist•d this confinement.

Thursday evening his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Islicuouas of RuwzA and suite arrived at the Star Inn, Oiford. Yesterday morning the Vice-Chancellor and Proctors waited upon his Impe rial Highness, and accompanied him and his suite to the different Colleges in that City. Today a Convo cation was held at ten o'clock, in order to confer the degree of D. C.

C.l • on Baron hlscotar, General IiCTUSOFF, Getter , ' SAVNASSO/1/, Cavalier GLJNKA, and Dr. Carcirroa. The costume of the Ladies at the Pavilion Bat% on Tuesday. was tastetol and elegant; they principally wore blond dresses, ricrly ornamented with tiounco.; and flowers at the bottom, the top with blond l ce and satin to correspond. Plumes of feathers, gold wreaths, and Hireb•rs, prevailed in the headdresses.
