The Paris Papers of Wednesday List arrived yesterday morning, and we find by them that M. Laine, no sooner left his Chamber on Monday, after in his am:lulu to defer the report Upon the Law of Elections, than he went to the Prime Ministto. H . /Alien, and requested him to an nounce to the King his intention to retire from the Pre itlency of the Chamber. Al. !Aline, however stemmed the Chair on Tuesday, immediately and rend a letter friiin the Prime Minister to him in which he infbrmed him, that the King luel been made acquitintol with his inten tions, but that his Majesty had directed him to entreat, and iC moots:try to command the President to continue in the Chair at least Ihe detrilnida!:on on the Biuhra. T-e rjcton of the Lea of Election by the t flam be rof Pet ri p i sidently occasioned 1)) the influence el THE NATIONAL REGIA'rEa. the Crown. has produced great and general discontent , and will, no don ht, give visit 10 mo,t itilportillit discus sions in the Chamber of D.•puties. This law se cured to the Deputies the• ight of representation for tire yen's, at the end of which it provided fur a general election, di is the ca•e With us in England. The wish of Go vernment was, however, that the popular reprteenta dull should he renewed annually by fifths, a system which could not fail to establish the control sad as cendancy of the King user the Chamber.—Geueral Deouet, who accompanied 13uonaparte to and returned with him from Elba, has bean acquitted by the Count cal of War, on the ground that he acted in roof omit, to the commands of Napo:eon as a Sovereign Prince, and that he had exerted himself to pintail the Usurper's invasion. The King, we are glad to find, is Ku far recovered tu; to be üble to reeeive the tineign By the French papers lately received, we learn that the Diet of the Germanic Confederation is positively to ha opened on the 13th of nent month. In Swis serland, the inhabitants, who have seen with disgust their old persecutors, the French regicides, travelling in great splendour to the places of their ultimate destination, have on more than one occasion treated them pretty roughly. It is said that their anger has sometimes ex tended to other Frenchmen ; insomuch that the French Ambassador has thund it necessary to intethre in behalf of hiA countrymen. Moist:n:s appear to be taken in the departments to keep a stricter eve than usual over the movements of the disaffected half-pay officers and dis banded raddiers. They are prohibited from travelling without a passport—a regulation which, if adopted four teen months ago, would have efiixtually frustrated Bun naparte's ente;prisc. The 18th of this month is now said to be the day fixed fir the marriage of the Neapolitan Princess Caroline to the Duke of Beni. The noted Miss Paterson, of Baltimore, has appeared on the stage of the public tribunals, it is said, as the wife of the mock ling Jerome. 'lids good lady's claims had been supposed to have been bought off by a handsome pension, while her worthy brother-in-law made and unmade the laws of France at his pleasura ; but she is now advised, that it is a more promising speculation to obtain an aline iiy from the French Judges out of the plunder which Jerome had lett behind him in France. Parliament adjourned on Thursday for the Easter Re cess: the !louse of Lords till Friday the .2iith instant, and the l louse of Commons till Wednesday the Q. 1411. Among the parliamentary business, which lies over for discussion till after the holydays, are several matters of great and serious importance. Mr. Scrjcant Onslow's intended motion for the repeal of the Csary Laws twist doubtless lead to an investigatiim of the first princi ples of our legislation applicable to the interest of money. Intimately connected with this is the Bank Restriction Bill. We should trust that these ,objects will nut be considered in a separate and insulated manner, but in their relations and bearings on the general principles of national wealth. It is the ()Wet of the learned Serjeant to leave the rate of interest to find its own level, without any compulsion or restraint from legislative etmctments. The present is undoubtedly a period which seems to de mand some alteration of the existing system. Monied capital was never more requisite tbr the invigoration of agriculture and commerce: and never was it more dif ficult to be obtained at the legal rate. Recent accounts from Madrid confirm the conspiracy which had taken place there. The plot (originated with the disappointed Guerilla Officers, who had assembled in great numbers at Madrid. Gen. O'Dnoghue had been set at liberty, having acquitted himself of all con ' nexion with the plan tior taking away the lives of Ferdi nand and the Royal Family. Advices from the Ifavannah to the Ist of February, bring intelligence that Santa Fe had &Hen into the hands of the Royalists, atter a smart action ; General Murillo himself commanded on the occasion. The insurgents I were worsted in every direction, and there appeared little chance of recovering their lust [ round. Morello, the insurL'ent Chief, who Was taken brisoner in Mexico, had been executed. There had been an arrival at Vera Cruz from Mexico, of a convoy with about eight millions of dollars, and a large quantity of cochineal. Thursday papers and letters reached town from the Southern pars of the Un;ted Stater. Those an Charlestown are to the '.hi ult. and are filled with mui plaints against the seizure of American vessels fianul in the harbour of Carthagena, and the imprisonment and cruel treatment of the crews.—The spirit of indignation excited by these outrages, appears to be generally and en thusiastically felt, and it is pointedly asserted, that the present state of ;Mints in relation to Spain, so injurious to the honour and national character of the Amerkun people, win not long exist ! No day has yet been fixed fior the trial of Sir R. Wil son and his wo emnpanions ; but they have received a copy of the indictment front the Proeureur General, which charges them with a mistit: meenour in fuciiituzing and consummating the escape of Lavalette. From the German pipers it is apparent thin all theGo o-ernments in Europe arc reducing tiitir es:ablishinents, and resorting to a much economy as posoible. APRIL 14. POLITICAL DISQUISI77O.V. RETROSPECT OF THE SEsSION. Ti 1R labours of Parliament are now suspended during the Easter Holidays, and an opportunity is thus offered to . take a retrospective view of their nature, and of their extent. Seldom had more important subjects attracted the attention of the representatives of the land, and sel dom have more activity and public spirit been displayed, than in the discussions and divisions which have taken place. Little was it expected, that when the grand con test in which all the force, and all the hopes and interests of the country were engaged should have been gloriously closed, such momentous duties le mild have remained fbr legislative wisdom to perffinn. The flight of the ' storm, it was thought, would lie followed by immediate serenity and peace, and no trace would be left to mark the conflict of the elements. This blessing, however, though covered with the protection of I leaven, we had no right to anticipate. It was enough to have been armed with courage to brave, and with strength to baffle the tempest: to have risen in all the majesty, and invincibility of free dom, against the hostility of the old and of the new world, and to have conquered only to deliver mankind. We could not justly demand to be relieved from the na tural results of such exertions. Fatigue and momentary exhaustion could not fail to overtake us even in the arms of victory, and difficulties and distresses to attend the first steps of peace. New eflbrts, not indeed of national prowess, but of legislative wisdom, and patriotic spirit, were necessary to triumph over those tiller perils, and to remove them from our hind. Those efibrts have been made, both by the country and its representatives, wilt a degree of sincerity and anlour which, to a very consi derable extent, has already commanded success. No period of Parliamentary history has teemed with greater activity and importance than that on the borders of which we now stand, though short and apparently insig nificant has been its duration. It began by an assurance, new in the ears of a nation accustomed to almost bound less expenditure, that economy would form the principle of Government, and become the foundation of all its measures. Hailed with joy, and received with confidence, this assurance was speedily put to the test. The impati ence of the administration seemed indeed to equal that of the country. Instead of postponing their financial ar rangements too period of the session, when all their friends would be collected around them, and secure in their strength they might deride anti defeat opposition, they unfolded their plans in the very first week of meet ing, and immediately proceeded to lay their estimates te. lime the House. These, however misrepresented, were not estimates of Peaty. They were calculated to meet the exigencies of that state of doubt and experiment, during which the solidity of the advantages obtained, and of the treaty concluded is tried, anti which, accord ing as the powers of the Continent, and Englund their leader, will act with prudent wisdom or impolitic rash ness, may terminate in safe and undisturbable repose, or in fresh convulsions and wild attempts to restore the reign of universal despotism. Considered in that point of view, those estimates were moderate, and justified the assurance that a system of political economy was intended to be pursued, which would preserve the greatness of the country front decay, and her resources from cxhaastinn. To support this expenditure, however, an impost was proposed, which cast upon the whole system a slack of the detestation with which it was individuully regarded. Only secondary in fervour to the wish of disarming France, during the prolonged exertions and appalling vi cissitudes of the late contest, had been the hope . of eon- Tiering with peace, a complete release front the exactions of the Property Tax. Now that triumph was :achieved and peace obtained on terms of our own dictation, the eountry rose indignant at the proposal of reviving an impost doomed by successive administrations to terminate with the war, us one of its most afflicting scourges. The alledged insecurity of peace, which formed the ground of its renewal tin- two years, became one of the strongest arguments against it; as it was apprehended that if the Income Tax were granted for that period, some new war would arise &lime it bad elapsed, which would reader the burtlien eternal. In vain was it justly urged that modifications might he made ill the application of the impost and the mode of receiving it, which *ould make it at once harmless and proauctive ; the country would neither credit the practioabiiity of such a stl clue. nor Fanction e breach of fitith, I;er petitions covered the tabie of the }louse; her representatives rallied round her; ill an evil boor ministers persisted, only to meet defeat and prove to surroaneang nations, that the liber ties of Englishmen are not chinwricel, ma, that in tmrland .1
