O FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. NOT EXCLUSIVE. LETTER IN THE HERALD. PARIS, Dec. 30. The firmness maintained by Ministers continues this day o operate favourably on the public mind, and particularly on the speculators in the Funds—that portion of society most susceptible of alarm, if cause for it existed. Accounts arrrived on 'Change to-day from the Chamber of Deputies, every half hour during the transaction of business, the ef fects of which were to produce a rise of at least one per cent. at three o'clock. From that hour, a slight reaction took place. The last prices were, however, a shade higher than those at which the market closed yesterday. Ministers no longer dissemble that they mean to take a sigh tone in future with all parties opposed to them, and to itand or fall by that determination. If they remain true to themselves, there is little danger of the latter alternative.— There may, and will be much noise ; but of another revolu tion there is not at present any ground for apprehension. The King is still popular, and the principles of his Minis tors still remain unsuspected. Industry, energy, and firm ness in their future conduct may therefore—and, I trust, will—so consolidate the government of Louis Philippe as to render it impossible for the disaffected of any class to disturb it. Our report of the Chamber of Deputies comes down to roar o'clock, at which time the debase was becoming more warm. It will be concluded to-night, when it will be found that there is in the Chamber a large majority in favour of Ministers. _ _ _ HALF-PAST FOUR.—It is reported that M. Lafitte will, after the success of this day, retire from the Ministry, and be succeeded in the Finance Department by M. Humana— Marshal Soult to be President of the Council. CHAMBER OP DEPUTIES, D ic. SO. At two o'clock M. Casimir Perrier, the President, took the chair, when he drew the names of the members who are to compose the great deputation, which is to be received by the King, on Saturday, January I, 1831. The President having announced that the disccussion of the law of the National Guard was to btresumed, M. Boissy D'Anglas ascended the tribune; but, on seeing him un fold a large manuscript, relative to his late proposition, the Chamber was beginning to express its impatience, by cries of question, when Al. Dupont de l'Eure, having made a sign that he intended to present some explanation, M. Boissy d'Anglaa proceeded to read his MS. He ex plained the motives that induced him to make the proposition of an in quest. He complimented the Ministry for the vigorous measures they had taken during the trial of the late Ministers, and said that his pro position was not directed against them; that the rumours of an insur rection decided him alone to call for the inquest, which was to be a mere political one; but that as soon as he perceived that that word gave umbrage to the Chamber, he thought proper to withdraw his motion. M. Audry de Puiraveau was going to speak, when, on the invitation of M. Dupont de l'Eure, he yielded him his turn. M. Dupont said—" It is a sad thing that three members of the Chamber, known by honourable precedents of patriotism, should be called, not to the bar of the House, but to the Tribune, to exculpate themselves of the unfounded accusation of having exercised any influ ence in the popular meetings of last week, with the criminal intention of forcing concessions from he King." He treated the accusation as more absurd than grave. " France," added he, " will never be lieve that Lafayette, Odillon Barret, and Dupont de l'Eure. whose political conduct has so long met with its approbation, have suddenly become the men of treason—or, in other words, political Polignacs. It was surprising to hear an orator come forward with the same accusation, after the able refutation presented by Minos Barret. He then explained the measures he bad taken during the last disturbances; that be could not be suspected of using violence toobtaln concessions from the King; that the only promise he made was to re. trounce the principles of the restoration, and rally to the government of Philip. He said that he felt for a long time the desire of withdrawing from the Cabinet; his reason for not retiring sooner was the fear of placing the Government in an embarrassed situation ; but when the danger was past, be bad no longer any consideration of the kind. M. Bignon here declared that he had no intention of accusing Du pont de l'Eure or Lafayette. M. Odillon Barret having asked the orator did he lay the whole blame upon him AL Bignon said he did not. M. Audry de Puiraveau then spoke in the midst of the murmurs of the Chamber ; when General Lamarque begged leave to present a few observations on the affairs of Belgium. He said that the Holy Al liance, which had decided the fate of Belgium in 1816, and that the same isnot:biers had taken upon themselves to settle to-day the abbe of that country. We may, of course, expect, said he, that the same principles will influence this arrangement. They have already laid as a basis that they should deviate as little as possible from the treaties of 1816,—" treaties (exclaimed the orator) dictated under the canines ef Waterloo, and which cannot be acceptable to a free nation." In M I he (General Lamarque) had a conversation with a British officer. Is asked him why did England dismember France ? The Englishman replied, "we care little for Belgium or for Holland, all we want is to exclude you from the Scheldt." M. Lsmarque then called upon the Minister for Foreign Affairs to give the Chamber some explanation re. spectingthe Belgian question. General Sebasdani. Minister for Foreign Affairs, began by saying in answer to an interpolation of M. Alauguin, in she sitting of yesterday, that the King of France would disdain to put up with an insult from a Duke of Modena. He then added that the government would never lise sight of the interests of the country nor of its own dignity. Nego tiations were open in London, in which the question of Belgium was treated of. The Belgians know it ; they approve of them, and they have already reaped the fruits of these conferences ; but he declared that no conditions were imposed to the recognition of the independence of Belgium. He regretted, • ith the lion. General, the loss of the former province; but that was a question of peace and war; but as to the opening of the Scheldt, some difficulties had been raised, but France will not overlook that question, which is in the principles that France professes, and which they will cause to he respected. M. Mauguin then rose. EXTRACTr; PROM THE PROJECT OF LAW UPON THE ELECTIONS OF THE CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. Art. 1.

On Tuesday the Minister of the Interior, the Mayors and Deputy Mayors of Paris. and the Prince de la Mama, had the honour to dine with the King and Royal Family. In the evening his Majesty granted a private audience to the Duke de Mortemart, and a ft erwards held a Council of Ministers. Yesterday the Prefect of Police was admitted to a private audience. M. Merilhou took the oath upon his appointment to be Keeper of the Seals. The King transacted business with the Mini ster of the Interior, and, in the afternoon, accompanied the Queen on an excursion to Neuilly. A Council of Ministers was held yestdrday at the residence of the President of the Council, which sat in deliberation from ten o'clock till two. The Journal des Delude of this morning says, The Sittings of yesterday and the day before have accomplished in the Chamber of Deputies what the National Guards effected in the streets in the course of last week, and the victory of order and the laws over disorder and popular soups d'etat, is as complete in the political system as it was in the material system. Every thing is reduced within the circle of the laws. Faction no longer exists; an opposition alone remains, sad, instead of riot, we shall - have diccusslon." The Quotidientee intimates that the letter read yesterday in the Chamber of Deputies by M. Penn, is that found by a Commissary of Police at the residence of M. Geslain, ex-valet-de-cluunbre of the Duchess of Berry. The four ex-Ministers were removed last night from Vincennes, to be transferred to the fortress of Ham, in Picardy, there to undergo their sentence of perpetual imprisonment. The Tribune announces that an Association has been formed of I the strulente of the Law and Medical Schools and the pupils of the Polytechnic School both in France and abroad, with the view of esta blishing concord, fraternity, and uniformity of principle. Extract of a letter from Weimar, dated Dec. 19 :—" A report is current hese, that the Emperor Nicholas had arrived unexpectedly at Warsaw, and appointed his son and heir to be King of Poland; by which measure he had pacified the public mind, and put an end to the Polish revolution."—" This intelligence," says the AugsburgA Gaftetk, from which we copy the above, " compared with the latest accounts from St. Petersburgh, Berlin, and Warsaw, appears rather iin cr able." Prussian Slate Casette of the 23d instant announces that the Provisional Government of Poland had ordered an immediate levy of ten battalions of 1,000 men in each Waiwoidy. Two rich manufac turers at Beers* have raised a German legion as their own expense. The Meets Gazette of the 26th inst. announces, that an express, which arrived at Augsburg on the 21st, brought intelligence that 160,000 Russians, who are marching from ill parts of the empire, pro. oeed with such rapidity, that it is expected that 00,000 men will enter Warsaw by the Ist of January. An Austrian cabinet courier, sent off from St. Petersburg with des patches for Prince Aletternich, passed through Berlin on the 23d inst. on his way to Vicuna. Russian couriers Eorn and to St. Petersburg are constantly passing through Berlin. They are frequently persons of note, as Colonels, Captains, attaches to embamsles, Ate.

A report is current, that the School of Medicine is to be closed for three months, on account of the proclamations signed by a number of the pupils. This rumour, we are assured, le unfounded ; but it appeals certain that the Minister of Public Instruction has convoked the Acad.. mical Council, to consider the course to be adopted respecting those who, sipcd the proclamations in question. We have already announced the arrest of M. de Maraud, son of the Count de Mesaard, first Equerry to the Duchess of Berry, as well as that of two brothers, Messrs. Dues, advocates. M. de Mesuard was u. rested at No. 252, rue St. Honori, at the house of 11. Geslain, es- Valet de Chambre to the Duchess of Berry, against whom a warrant of apprehension has also been issued. The rollowing letter upon the subject appear in the Quoildienne : " Mr. Editor—l was in bed. M. de M—, jun. having come to Paris on business, and begged me to give him a lodging, was at my house, when four men one of whom wore a al-coloured scarf, and celled himself a Commissary of Pollee, entered my a t. The latter took several papers from the chimney.pieee, out of my writ ing.desk, and after having examined dun vary minutely, opened some drawers, where he found a pound of gunpowder with some balls and a pair of pistols. He also took some other correspondence, which had nothing to do with politic. After having scrupulously examined a number of letters, the contents of which were harmless, the Commissary of Police put his band upon a paper containing some allusions and hopes relative to the return of the Duke of Bordeaux to France. Although this paper, which was merely the draught of a letter, was entitled to no attention, the Commissary thought it of high importance, and gave it to one of the trusty persons in attendance on him. I then felt that advan tage would be gladly takes of this vain pretext to ascribe to the Carlists the commotion drat had arisen, notwithstanding the absurdity of put. ting at the bead of a conspiracy a mere valet.de.chansbre to the Duchess of Berry. Not disposed to share the fate of the prisoner, I decided upon making my escape. 1 went behind the alcove, end thence ran down stain without a hat. The Commissar y, on finding that I had escaped in spite of his precautions, lost all moderation. He again examined my papers, sad es lading some nails, files, old keys, Le., which came into my pommies by being left in some furniture which I bought in 1825, at No. 1, Rae Neuve de Lux emburg, the Commissary, addressing M. de 14-4sid with the WPM. don of mortifying him, ' You are living with a thieL' Th.

Whom then an be hope to Sod that will believe such unworthy sup. positions ? These am all the pounds of the famous trial which is pigpens& and the causes of the arrest of Messrs. Dues.

Cuernact.s.—We could weekly amuse our readers with extracts from Country Newspapers, exhibiting the rapid program' of the contests of Property against Property, and enlarge on the various suppositious causes, effects, and cures of a century of misgovernment of the king dom, if we had space, and if the amusement was not saddened by the melancholy and humiliation reflection of the intense and Increasing mi. sexy of the country. Every Ecclesiastic has his efficacious prayer, every country gentleman his favourite nostrum, for staying the progress of the ehoieramorbus now aging in their parishes. The political cor don armholes of Corn Laws, the turning the paupers into " rounds. men," clipping the Sovereign, Joint Stock Banks with shares at a high premium to increase the circulating medium, emigration, throwing land in and out of cultivation—these and all the conundrums of an English Christmas fire-side, are in vain invoked to remove the devastating ma. lady pressing on agriculture. In this fermentation of society it is ape. cially curious to notice the increasing unpopularity of the clergy, and the mine springing under the Church, perhaps we should more correctly say the sapping sad mining of Tidies. The temporal interest of man kind always prevailed over their spiritual and future welfare, except with the Martyrs of the Reformation sad the Hindoo Widows of mo dern times. We are all old enough to iecollect the war-whoops and halos of " Church and State," giving the Church the precedence. Sinbad now feels the inconvenience of his upper servants he in vain struggles to get from under the old man. Before distress and the schoolmaster visit the landowt:en and their tenantry (previous to Mr. Cobbett's Lectures, and, he would say, before his History q( the Church), when war prices existed, the agriculturist and the Parson rode the same horse; the Parson before, each upholding the other. Amicably they trotted in company. Now that the aged and jaded ani. mal will no longer carry double, the agriculturist, on the original sin doctrine of self-preservation, gives his old and revered clerical com panion a shoes from the pillion. The weakest must go to the ground. Probably all parties are now practically convinced that the system diet not " work well." Trans.—There is one thing which we cannot imagine, via. the pos. sibillty of two Legislatures--onelof them English, the other Irish, of the new O'Connell school—acting cordially together for a single twelve. month, considering the notions which now and then gain currency among the crew composing that learned gentleman's auditors one day. and Ms delegates, commisaioners, or rent-collectors, the nest. That means might be found to concert the hostile senators of the thenceforth foreign Par. liament, we do not mean to deny, even the most stubborn of them. We know of what materials the old Irish House of Commons was composed, and how majoritierin that house were concocted. Does Mr. O'Connell malt to Insist that any given 300 Irishmen of the present day would of necessity be less amenable to ministerial reason than those of the year 1799 ? Who sold their country to the Minister of that day ?—The Irish Parliament—the independent Parliament the Halcyon Perlis. meat of College.grcen.Who, again, sold their country ?—The Roman Ca. Moller in Ireland : it is on record they, the Catholics, shamefully sold what is now called the independence of their country to Mr. Pitt and Lord Cornwallis, for a promise of being suffered to hold seats in that very foreign parliament, among that very " Saxon" people, with whom rays Mr. O'Connell. in one of his peacemaking speeches, it is impossi. Me for the genuine Irish to have any thing in common. If all this be denied—if the British minister is not to command a majority in the Irish parliament—why the question is settled in another way, for he is voted out of once by Ireland, and supported there by England ;—and what is this—what, at least, does it induce—but a direct separation of the crowns? But what matter, others may demand, what signifies it whether Ireland swing herself loose or not? We might answer the in terrogatory by another. What matters it whether Scotland rends herself from England or not Why should not Wales ? nay Yorkshire, if she listeth ? It might not be very easy to satisfy such inquirers. Perhaps a plausible argument might be raised in favour of the individual virtue and happiness to be found in small states, as contrasted with those of larger growth. But the prejudice inns against breaking up an ancient realm, and sending its fragments to seek their fortunes separately. Very confined commonwealths are found to be weaker, as well against internal faction as against aggression from without. Conistx.—lf we be to appeal to our pious &meshes, and pious and praiseworthy we most allow them to have been; if the Ilford Winchilses and the parsons will insist upon referring us to these our an cestors as examples foe us to follow as to this great matter of tithes, we have to remind it and the parsons of these eight things r—l. That the doctrines of the Catholic Church, which our pious ancestors endowed with the tithes, are, by our present parsons, declared to be idolatrous and damnable.-2. That our parsons call the head of that church An tichrists and the whore of Babylon.-3. That the Society for pro pagation of Christian Knowledge" advertise no lees than fourteen sepa rate works written by our bishops and archbishops 1, against Popery;" that is to say against that very faith to support which our pima antes , toes instituted tithes.-4. That we may be allowed to wonder bow it Gan have come to pass, that, as the errors of our pious ancestors were found, at the end of eleven hundred years, to be so damnable, the tithes which they granted were not at all erroneous, but, as this parson now tells us, wets, dedicated to God r-5. That our pious ancestors gave only a third of the tithes to the par sons.-6. That they required the puma to expend a third on the build. ing and ornaments of the church.-7. That they required him to dis tribute the other third to the poor and the stranger with his own hands in mercy and humility. And, & That they required him to be con. star tly resident, and not to marry, and compelled him to take an oath of celibacy, in order that, divested of the cares and missile inseparable from I a wife and family, be might wholly devote himself is the service of 00D, and be in very truth that which the Bible, from one end to the other, re quires a priest to be, a faithful and diligent dephrrd of the reli gious flock : and for being which merely in acne, such was I are pronounced against priests both by prophets and apostles. Of these eight things we have to remind the parsons, when they tell us to look at the conduct of our pious ancestors ; and especially when they tell us to follow the example of those ancestors with regard to tithes. These were the conditions on which the tithes were given, and this might be truly said to be dedicating them to Oat. Accordingly we find that, as long as the tithes were applied to these purposes, there were no poor-rates; no Vagrant Act was required; no church-la:es were demanded of the people; and yet all those magnificent cathedrals and those churches were built, the beauty and solidity of which are now the monuments of their great, and of our little, minds. Tr ettta .— lil. Lafitte's notable intimation of a republican plot, formed by Royalists, to dethrone Louis-Philippe, scarcely wanted the crowning grace which M. Persil has given to it by the production of his proofs : but the subordinate has saved the credit of the principal, by exhibiting a lower depth in absurdity. The discussion on the regulations of the National °used, is not concluded ; and it is probable that the Chain. ber will afford no decisive test of the strength of the parties till the elec toral law is laid before it. The accounts from Poland received through Paris, and by the Hamborgh mail, are so far favourable that they ex hibit the Poles in a State of active preparation, and in an attitude of re solute defiance. We wish them success in the name of justice, and of humanity, and of libeety ; though we are not prepared, like the Condi tutiorntel. to invoke the active aid of other countries in a cause which, however glorious, presents, as yet, no features which justify rational in. inference.
