12 PARIS PAPERS. Nous, cis. IL—The 31 battalion of the lit regiment, and the 3dtattalion of the 4th regiment of infantry, forming the lat field regiment, under the command of Colonel de la Poteire, marched yes terday for the Army of Spain. These troops passed through the Fauxbourg Saint-Germain, crying, • Vive le Roi !" The Duke of San Lorenzo set out yesterday for London. Yesterday General Count Guillemot, Chief of the Staff of the Army of the Pyrenees, waited on th 3 Duke of Angouleme with maps of the the theatre of the military operations. At four o'clock, Baron d'Eroles had an audience of his Royal Highness. Yesterday evening Baron Rothschild gave a grand fete, to which above 1,100 persons were invited. Among the considerable failures produced by spe culatione in the public funds, one is mentioned which it is said moat be declared by a person who holds a high financial employment. We have accounts from Madrid, dated the 3d instant. The city was tranquil, and despatches had been received from tlic Count del Abisbal and Gen. Velasco, detailing the advantages obtained over Bessieres, whose banditti bad been routed on all point.. Yesterday we received, by an extraordinary con veyance, accounts from Madrid, which announce that the speech of the King on opening the Cham ben had arrived in that city. Its contents appear to have created a great fermentation in the public mind. There was no idea of the ministerial changes which have been the subject of report. Accounts from Marseilles state, that barracks are preparing in the neighbourhood of that town for troops either to be embarked or disembarked; which, it is not yet positively known. It is known, how • ever, that this business relates to the preparations for the expedition in the Pyrenees. Bayonne, Frs. 7.—The remainder of the French Legation has just arrived from Madrid, and the . whole suite of M. Lsgarde, who will immediately set out for Paris. The Envoy of Prussia left this place for Paris yesterday. The preparations for war continue. The first co lumn of the troops which are on their march from the interior, is expected on the 17th; they will era rive successively till the 40th of next month. These new reinforcements are estimated at 15,000 men, independently of the 10 or 14,000 whom we have already in this country. The troops in our garrison do duty as in time of war, and every thing assumes • a hostile appearance. We expect M. Slur& the • new Intendant-General of our corps of the army, ae well as a great number of 'military estpfors. The aecounts which we receive from the frontiers of Spain speak of the effect which the King's speech has produced there. The Servile' impatiently ex. pect the entrance of the French troops, and the Constitutionalists are preparing to receive them..— They continue to fortify and provision Pampeinna and St. Sebastian, but the latter place will nut be to a condition to resist an attack. Several French vesiels in our port, which were in lading for distant ports in Spain, and even four that were intended fur Lisbon. have re-lauded their goods, and their voyage is deferred. ( EXTRACT or A IPRFFATE LITTER.) I ' FRANKFORT' FEB. 7,-1 have already fold you that Prince Metternich came to Munich with a letter from the Emperor to the King of Bavaria, in which it was mid, among other things, ' I send you, my Chancellor, to explain to you the acts of the Congress of Verona, and to inform you of my views end wishes as to t he affairs of Germany.' These views were explained in a memorial presented by the Prince to the King, and were principally directed towards giving a different interpretation to the last act of the ,Congress of Vienna, relative to the liberty of the Prem, and the publicity of the debates of the Representative Assemblies. Von are already informed, however, how much Prince Metternich was disappointed at Munich. and that he left it without having obtained any thing, though he pretended to have, overcome some obsta cles. On his nrrival at Kerala, he is even said to have shewn to M. Blitteradorf; Minister of Baden to the Diet, but who had been sent to Vienna, a de claration of Bavaria, in which the King was made to promise acquiescence in the views detailed in the above memoir, and that he would give instruction on the subject to his Minister at the Diet. Count lischberg, Bavarian Minister of Foreign Affairs, was asked, in full Council, what declaration had been given on this matter, either in the Lame of the King, Or in his own name? lie replied, that the King's answer to the Emperor had been drawn up in the most general terms. and to which he, the Mi. ulster, had added, both verbally and in willing, that it was necessary to wait fur the Austrio-Prussian propositionsk that the Ministers would reserve to themselves to examine and discuss these propositions in full council before they would give instructions to the Bavarian Minilter at the Diet. Olt this, Prime upon this, as upon all other occasions, obey their in structions, but he should feel now, forth* first time, that his duty was a painful one. He ha beets taught Irota his earliest years, that no man should put his hand rate his neighbour's pocket because his own wasempty. Ti, touch the funded property, would be to deprive not the rich, but the poor of their small pivances. The revenue of the chisels ought not to be reduced, but equalized. The Rev. G. Hoowea moved the thanks of the meeting to Lord F. Osborne, who reunited thinks. • The thanks of the meeting were also voted se the High Sheriff, who returned thanks, and declared it dissolved. 4 FROM .SATURDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

In consequence of the present state of the Con tinent, and the prospect of hostilities, a rive is ex pected in the price of sugar, and all the articles of war. Mr. Canning arrived at Harwich on Tuesby morning, and we% of course, together with Mr. Herries, elected without opposition. He remained during the day, and afterwards dined with the Cor poration. He was in the chair, and in the course of the afternoon addressed the company several times. —With respect to the present aspect of affairs, he avowed a full concurrence in the sentiments deli vered by Lord Liverpool at the opening of the Ses sion. A continuance of puce, he said, was unques tionably felt as being of the utmost importance, but, if unhappily a state of hostility should be eventually unavoidable, the country was fully pre pared to meet the emergency. If it were assumed, that exhaustion had succeeded to our gigantic effinis in the late contest, that was certainly a most erro neous conclusion. The Spanish Minister transacted business for a toneiderable time at the Foreign-of f ice on Thurtday THE PIATIOHA.L REGISTER Wrede, who enjoys the confidence of the King, is said to have replied, That if any other answer had been given, it would have been not merely a poli tical fault, but nearly treason.' " Every thing seems to prove, that on this point Bavaria and Wurtemberg will act together, for both have refused to assist at the conferences of Vienna before they instructed the Ministers at that Court, not to enter into any negociation, but only to re ceive ad refire/aims the propositions made to them. It may, how veer, be expected that propositions of the nature above-mentioned will be laid before the Diet, though without departing from constitutional methods, it is not expected that they will effect any alteration in the Constitutional States. Among all these States, there is in no one, any discord between the Ministry and the Representatives,except in Ba den ; end there the Minister Berstedt, though for merly the advocate of different opinions, has shewn himself, particularly during the session, which ter minated on Jan. Slit, the friend of absolute Mo narchy. " The speech of the King of France has reached us by an extraordinary courier. As it was the last day of the month, when many time bargains were to be settled, the consternation and tumult were great on 'Change. Spanish Securities fell very low, and six failures were instantly declared. A young man, in particular, is much the object of pity, who had speculated beyond his means, and unable to survive the stain on his honour, blew out his brains." LAI/MINNS, Fan. s.—Count Berhna is expected daily at Geneva. The mysterious person, whose arrival in Switsedand has eacited so much curiosity, is M. Fauche Sorel, who was not inactive in 1815. A Diplomatic Conference is to be held, it is said,. at Berne, in the arum of this month, the object of which it is easy to divine. The Piedmontese Go vernment is arming, and provisions are collecting at Chamberry for 4,000 horse ; it remains, however, to be seen, if; according to report, these provisions are for foreign troops. Count Caps d'latria, who is still at Genus, has made arrangement which lead us to the belief that he will remain there till the beginning of the next month. CAMPRIDGE COUNTY NEETLVG. F' . \ I I !'4li A meeting was held on Friday, mm the Market-hill, in the town 01 Cambridge, on the subject of Parliament ary Heiorm. Orders had, we understand, been issued to prevent the attendance of the students, b.it from the numbers residing out of the colleges, this was entirely ineffectual, and many gownstuen were Present ou the Market-hill. At a little alter t I o'clock the people began to assemble; and at 12 the business of the meeting was opened by the Under Sheriff reading the requisition, which was stated to be sign es! by 1,024 iretholtat rs. Mr. C. BRA Las, after reading a letter from the Dufe of Bedford apologizing for his absence, said, he hoped lie might nut be deemed presumptuous in ilium early offering himself to the attention of the meeting. They were met there to promote the great and glorious cause of reform in the representation of the people; and who that heard him—who that possessed the heart of a mail, and the feelings of an Englishman, could WI to raise his voice against that system of corruption and misgovern ment which had plunged almost every class of the coin uwnity into misery and ruin ? He would ask them how it was possible to expect that anyieduction of the taxes could afford an adequate relief, while the interest of such a debt remained to be defrayed t It was upon this gioutid that he lett himself bound to concur in tl e propriety and justice of the petition adopted in the county of Norfolk He then prime-vied to asge the necessity or a riductim of the ecclesiastical establishments in Eng land mai Ireland, and the abolition of the system a tithes, which he designated as odious. It was just and necestary that in this hour of distress the clergy should contribute a large share of their superfluous incomes for the relief of their countrymen. Mr. B. then proposed six resolutions accordant with his speech. Mr. F. K. EAGLI, in seconding the resolutions, begged to a.aure the amens% that he was led to do an by a reuse of public duty, The diatom of the agricultural merest was the chief and immediate burden which premed upon them. Ina resolutions were put, when _ . . H. Gummi* said he had not intended to take any part in the discussion, but he could not suffer such resolutions as were now proposed to pass without ani. mailversion. His opinions on the subject of reform were well known, and had been openly atoned for mole than 30 years; he never had changed them, and he hoped he serer should. GO forbid, however, that he should ever even seem to join lit resolutions, the obj ct of which were rapine and confi sca t ion —(Hisses.)—He repeated they were most disgracelul They were neither more not less than those which had been proposed by Cubhett at Norwich. lle was happy to find that this proposition, which most be oifencte to the county at lame, originated with one who did tint belong to the county. it was a little too bad, when in his native county of Hertford, he could find no one to support him, that he should come there and expect they would adopt his schemes. He (Mr. (Miming) was born amongst them, had lived, and hoped to die amongst them ; and he hoped al o, that his county and theirs would be spared the disgiace of having adopted such iesolut one.— The remlutithis, anti aherwards the petition, which is an echo of them, were then put and carried by acelaniat;on. Lord F. Osconue, id a short speech. said, he should •• 1 , H
