A considerable debate arose on the 4th Article, by which the formalities 'to be observed when a house is suspected to contain wntraband goods, are declared not to be necessary in the case of public-houses, inns, Iltc. The Articlewas at length carried by 75 votes to 42. SITTING OF NOVEMBER 24. The debate on the Penal Code began at the prior Sitting was continued, but it was confined to the merits of the general question. In the Sitting of the 25th, the Ist Article was read with the paragraph lately proposed by the Commit. tee, and which runs thust-- 44 As crime is any act, committed or omitted voluntarily, and wilfully with a bad intention, and with violation of the law," a every voluntary act, contrary to the law, shall be presumed to be committed wilfully, and with bad in tention, unless the contrary be proved by the author, or clearly appear." A long debate arose on this definition, and the dis cussion was suspended till the following Sitting. MADRID, NOVEMBER 24. The Local Militia of this city are preparing a re presentation to the Government, drawn up with those constitutional ''sentiments that do honour to the indi viduals composing that body. The Militia and the immense majority of the people of Madrid, have the sense and courage to resist the bad examples of the perverse men who tyrannize o►er several Capitals of the Provinces. Novs►tasa 25.—The national loan not having been filled up in the time appointed, it is said that the Minister of Finance has made a contract with the houses of Ardoin and Lafi:te of Paris, and of Hope of Amsterdam, who are to furnish 140 millions , of reals to be converted into inscriptions at 5 per cent. interest, the loss of the paper being fixed at 68 per 100, the Dutch loan and that of last year being to be converted into inscriptions in the same manner. MURCIA, NOVEMBER 20. Yesterday an express brought his Majesty's Royal commands for the removal of the Political Chief from office, which was immediately carried intro effect. FRENCH PAPERS. rmus, DECEMBER 4. Yesterday, the King presided at a Council of Mi nisters, which lasted from noon till one o'clock. The Duke de Fel nan Nunez is rather better. General Donadieu yesterday caused to be distri buted at the Chamber of Deputies, the speech which he intended to have delivered on the 3d instant. The Ottoman Porte has refused to evacuate Mol davia and Wallachia. The continual rains have destroyed the wheat har vest in several -Provinces of the Russian Empire, which has caused arise in the price. Madame de Krdvener is still at St. Petersblirgli. The accounts from Catalonia, brought by the last courier, are satisfactory. On the 20th ult. the mom talky was reduced to from SO to 50 per day, and of these, Pi, were ordinary sick. Eighteen Spanish phy sicians have fallen victims to the epidemic. CIIAMBER OF DEPUTIES. SITTING OF ore 51H DECEMBER. The sitting was opened at half-past one o'clock. .Nearly 300 Deputies were present. The right side was very numerous. M..Corbiere, who arrived yesterday in the capital, resumed his former place between M. de Villele and N. Piet. The Hon. Member and M. de Mareellus, who was likewise at his post, received the compli ments of their colleagues. Since the last sittings the right side has been prodigiously reinforced: the central point of the left centre was empty. The Poem ouvr said that the order of the day called the Chamber to form the bureaus. The seven fist will be composed of 47 Members each ; the two last of 46; which comprise the total number of 421, of' which the Assembly consists. The Chamber proceeded with the greatest compo sure to this operation, which lasted three quarters of an hour, and appeared to interest the numerous spec tators in the galleries. The PRESIDENT announced that the new bureaux would assemble to-morrow, to consider the Budget. M. de POSIPIERES. — And the Law on the Press. M. MIiCIIIN.—Why nut meet to-day ? The PRESIDENT.—The former bureaux began No - vember 6, and cootiuued the whole of the month. M. 13. CesisTANT.—Why, then, did the new for mation of bureaux take place to-day ? The operation was useless. A MEMBER.—It was you, Mr. President, who fixed the first Sitting for the 6th. Have you re. ceived new instructions? The PRESIDENT explained. A Memaen.—The last time the Bureaus assembled immediately after the drawing. Another Meainsn.—lt is to give time for ma teeuvring tomorrow. The PRESIDENT.—You are wrong; it is necessary that the list of the new Bureaux should be printed. The Chamber was then adjourned, but a great number of Deputies remained in the Hall, and forming themselves into a body, a very spirited con versation ensued.

Our Gazette states, that the Turkish Army in Mol davia receives every day new reinforcements, and that it already amounts to 30,000 men. Nov Emma 25.—The Austrian Observer states, on the authority of accounts from Venice of the 14th instant, that the Turkish fleet had entered the port of Suda, to the Nnrth of Candia, where it appeared_to intend to remain during the winter. The Governor of Cyprus, who committed great cruelties against the Greeks, is stated to have been dismissed, and that a Erman of the Grand Seignior had been received, giving . a positive assurance that the Greek churches and individuals should be rein stated in the possession of the property taken from Cheat, and that the Greek inhabitants of the Island should be protected by the Government. lIADRID, NOVEMBER 22. This morning a numerous assemblage took - place is trout of the Fontana d'Ore, when the fullowiag communication was made to the' deteensisadoe (shirt less herd), and hailed with loud acclamations by the multitude: “ The town of Cadiz has completed all its warlike preparations to oppose an effectual resistance to the orders of the King and his Ministers, and, on the first opportunity, to declare itself free, independent, and the protector of such other towns of Andalusia as shall desiie to constitute themselves upon the prin ciples of liberty and equality, which form the true essence of the Constitution of the Cortes of 1812. 66 The militia of Cadiz are all under arms, and form a superb corps. They take the duty of the gar rison and forts alternately with the regular troops. A battalion is stationed at the bridge of Zuazo. By night all the gates are kept shut. The inhabitants have constructed a fortification at the land post (puerto de tierra). A battery of eleven pieces'of can non has been planted to defend the bridge Zuazo. 66 The Revolutionary Chiefs of Cadiz have just dispatched their ultimatum to the Cortes, not wishing to have any further connection either with the King or his Ministers. In this It/simiam they protest against all that has been hitherto done, and declare that they will not receive functionaries nominated by the King. In fact, Baron Andilla, who has been sent as Cap tain-General, in the room of General Venegas, whom the inhabitants had forced to retire, has just been ar rested at the bridge San Fernando, where it was sig nified to him that he had better make good his re treat with all possible speed, which he has done. In their ullinsatuat the inhabitants of Cadiz farther an nounce, that their plan is formed, and that the princi pal towns in Andalusia were ready to unite with them to form al Independent Confederation. It is added that Biers would be the Protector." The reyresetstation of the city of Corunna to the King, agunst the Ministers, is couched in terms as strong and intemperate. lIA2VOrER, NOVEMBER 20. During his''MAJESTY'S visit to Hanover, the Bishops of the kingdom represented to him the afflicting and precarious situation of the Constitution of the Church, and of the Ecclesiastical Establishments. We learn that his MAJESTY received this representation very graciously, and in answer to a memorial from the Prince Bishop (Ensscrs Coos) of Hildersheim, as- , sured the Catholic Church and its Ministers of his protection, in the mast gracious tams, and expressed his regret at not having been able to become person ' ally acquainted with a Bishop who is distinguished by so many eminent qualities. The Bishop is now 86 years of age. Te Demote was yesterday celebrated in all the Churches, and a salute of artillery fired, on account of his MAJESTY'S safe return to London. Nov. 28.—Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of CUNIBERLAND left this city on the 24411, to return to Berlin. TIIE EVENING STAR. LONDON. MONDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1821. THE FUNDS.

But now the French Ministers, after all their defeats, rise aPbh With twenty mortal gashes en their. heads;" not so much to push others from their stools, as to retain their own. The Chamber of Deputies do not see their way so clearly as a British House of Com• mons would on a similar occasion; but if the spirit which it has already manifested still pervades, it will be impossible for the Ministers to carry that odious measure on which they seem so determined—a fur ther restraint on the Liberty of the Press. It is known that the Address to the Kum of the 25th of November, was discussed in a Secret Com mittee. The proceedings have, however, transpired; and. from the language held in this Committee—the strong condemnation of the system, with respect to foreign relations, pursued by the Government—the daring attacks male by both extremities of the Cham ber on the conduct of Austria, as well as Russia—Abe loud demand for a more bold and dignified course—it is impossible not to. see the dawning of some great change in Europe. That the Duke de RIcIIELIFV may wish to sacri fice the honour and interests of his country to the po licy of the Emperor of RUSSIA, in whose service he was for many years as Governor of Odessa, and in other capacities, is extremely probable; but France. itself can have no motives of gratitude to the Russian Autocrat, and will not see herself sacrificed by the weakness or wickedness of her Ministers; for the honour and interests of Frenchmen must be more dear to them than the gratification of Russia, Austria, or any other Power whatever. _ _ The news from Spain is of a melancholy nature we hare no time for comments, but ample details will be found in another part of our Journal. Brussels Papers to th• &h instant arrived this morning. A letter from Frankfort, dated November 30, says—" According to private letters from Venice, the quarantine of that City is crowded with Greeks and Franks, who have fled from the Isle of Cyprus, as well as of Jews who have Bed from Palestine, to escape the cruelty of the Turkish Governors, who proceed in the most tyrannical manner. Several in habitants of the island of Zante, banished by the Eng lish Government, have also arrived at Venice.— The arrest of the Servian Deputies at Constantinople is confirmed. It is the most impolitic step ever taken l by the Porte, and one which in present circumstances may have the most disastrous consequences." Di v ine fiery ice was yesterday performed at Brighton, in the presence of the KING, Suite, and Family, by the Dean of HEREFORD and Dr. PEARSON. Saturday, about one o'clock, the Princess AUGUSTA left town, in .4 carriage and four, for Windsor. Her Royal Highness afterwards, accompanied by the Duchess of GLOUCESTER, visited Frogmore. The town was brilliantly illuminated on the occasion. A variety of letters and papers have been received from Chili, up to the date of the 19th of August, communicating additional details of circumstances attending the tall of Lima. The proceedings of the Government newly declared independent, discover vigour and promptitude. On the 16th of July, the first Gazette of " Independent Peru" was issued, and its commencing words are a tribute of gratitude to the men by whom that independence had been con ferred. Among these, the gallant Lord CocHaANQis not forgotten, who isdesignated as the "intrepid Coch- rane, v. ho renounced the honours of his own country, to confer happiness and liberty on the human race." GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY OF CHILI. SANTIAGO. AUGUST 15. It is not possible to describe the demonstrations of joy with which the people of Chili celebrated the news received of the liberation of the Capital of Peru, 'accomplished by the valour and wisdom of General San Martin. At two o'clock in the afternoon of the 13th instant, arrived the first notice communicated by the Governor of Valparaiso, inclosing a duplicate of a dispatch from the General-in-Chief. Neverthe less, as there were some papers worthy of credit in circulation, which announced the success, and the dispatch of the Governor said expressly that Lima had been freed by the arms of the country, a salvo of artillery, and general ringing of bells, served as a 'signal for collecting an immense crowd to the Direc tonal Palace, where, being assured of its truth, the highest testimonies of pleasure were exhibited. No other expressions were beard than those of , 4 Live our Country—Live America—Live our Brothers the Peruvians—Long Life to the Heroes San Martin and O'Higgins 1" This acclamation of enthusiasm ex tended rapidly to all the corners of the city, accom panied with the firing of rockets, which did not cease till the morning of the 14th. The whole of the city was illuminated in the night; military music pa raded the streets ; and the whole people were em ployed in singing national songs and shouting victory. —At ten o'clock in the morning of the 14th, the co lours of ltancagua, which were recovered in Lima, entered the city. An immense concourse of people again occupied the Directorial Palace, with the same demonstrations of joy, mingled with tender feeling, at the sight of the colours of our country, retaken by the brave men who exerted themselves for the liberty of our brethren. To satisfy, in some measure, thetr desires, it was necessary to read the official dispatches _ . FRANKFORT, DECEMBER 1. The official Gazette of Berlin publishes an article from Odessa of the 1 lth ult. which states the Greek Captain Jordaki, whose death has been so often an nounced, had arrived in disguise, safe and in good health at Ikuleni.

FROM THZ DUBLIN JOURNAL OP ritinAr. A report was very generally circulated in the ci te yesterday, among the lower orders, that Capt e i n was taken, and brought up to Dublin. W e s,dl say, that this intelligence of an event, wh ic h was deemed by them a matter of great importance, see s L inda from one to another with mu ch apparent satidae t , o , ‘ This circumstance is not so insignificant, at the pre, sent time, as many might imagine. It wires t h it the crimes and murders of CA./gain Rock, ;litt le our,. try, are utterly reprobated by the lower dais*, h ere. and hence we may infer that he has no panisa u , is this past of Ireland, and we may, therefore, res t securely on the assurance of the good dispo,i t i„ nd the labouring classes in this city, which is thleatene4 with the erection of barriers, and other precauti onary measures. As to Captain Rock, lee is an ideal being: the AR,. ionavan's oath prescribes implicit obedience t o t h e Leader, whose identity no man could ever trace ; i ie was never seen or heard by any one of his RUTllei.its adherents; and yet, he is the fountain from which ail authority proceeds, and his mandates lot the cons rn i,, sion of crimes, are instantly and faithfully ohey e ,L Captain Rock, and his follower:, are the venni produced from the diseased carcase of Ireland ; th y are the offspring of wretchedness; the outcaus of tie distempered state of society ; and they will °cc , sionally appear, in greater or less numbers, until tae body shall be restored to sound health.

A few nights since, the Stage-hou se , at Kill ers tulla, county of Tipperary, was attack e d and rope;of one musket. The banditti swore M r . L YNCH, t h occupier, that he should provide a bl un d er b uss fa 'them by the next time they should call upon hi m _ Another house, about a mile distant, was also mike,' of a gun by the same party.

Both these men reside within a mile of Mare. Monday, two bakers, returning from Rathirale with barm, were attacked near Croagh. Me bans was spilled on the road, and the fellows declined the no bread should be made at Adare in future. Tuesday morning, Mr. E. SANDWITII, 114;1Igor,' from Limerick, with another person, on a 'hooting excursion to the country, was knocked down on the highway, near Ballinacurra, about eleven o'clock,and deprived of his fowling-piece. His companion was at some distance when he was attacked. Two of Medd Light Dragoons came up, and the villains being still in view, they instantly commenced a pursuit, and succeeded in securing one of the robbers, but the other escaped, hawing oaken refuge in a bog, what the Dragoons could not follow. They retentd to the military post at Ballinacurra with the prisoner, whence he was conveyed to Limerick, and underwent a In examination by Major 'D nouoll; Chief Nlagizze of Police, and being identified by Mr. SANDwan,he was fully committed for trial at the ensuial, Coma& sion. The name of this robber is Francis Slianghcal, a stout, well-made man, nearly six feet in kik, who had resided for twelve years past at the coma of the road leading to Mangret. Wednesday evening, last week, the house of Tao. MAS HZATON, near Adare, was attacked, and robbed of one musket. Saturday night, John Ward, cha-ged with amok. ing a Crown prosecuti ix on her retain from laa sizes at Limerick, was apprehendel by a party Major WI LcocKs' Police. Sunday night, Mr. Venus, with a party of did Light Dragoons, apprehended five men accused if the murder of Mr. SPARtINO. Wednesday morning, Timothy Shea was lodged Limerick jail by Ilajor WILCOCKS, charged n 4 being one of a party assembled, unlawfully, os oil night of the 9th of October, near the glebe of 0 breedy.--On the same morning, Maurice Shaugiee, the brother of the man committed for the robberri Mr. SANDWITH ; and also Michael MgMahon, a blei. smith, were brought into Limerick by Mir Damicarr, charged with being deeply implicated the disturbances. Deals Keliber, charged with being an accorepike in the murder of Major Comas, was apprehendeis Monday last, and the greater part of those contend in this atrocious deed appear now to be in custody. GALWAY. We fear the spirit of disaffection has at leori reached our hitherto peaceable county, as will apps from the following fact :—On the night of Fr* last, the police sentinel stationed at Ardour UV 614 at by some persons unknown, and he instantly* turned the fire in the direction from which be IP gined the report to proceed ; but, owing to the et treme darkness of the night, could not judge thefr rection they were stationed in. After the Nevi fired, the police patroled the adjoining neighbor hood, in search of the banditti, but unforteneil without effect. As soon as the police returned he the fire was again renewed on the sentinel, bot lur pily without the wished for success.
