The Chamber of Deputies have been oc cupied chiefly with the discussion of a law for continuing the restraint over the press, in the King's hands, another year. On Saturday, M. Raver pre sented a report of the commissi m upon this subject, which prlposed the adoption of the law without any ameachnent. No strong opposition may be expected, as no more thaa 44 members inscribed their names to vpeak for and against the question. The luau is said not to be yet concluded. From the observations which made in our last, publication up(ut this transaction, it will be seen, that it is entirely a niattr ofprivate in terest and concern ; and we cannot perceive upon what rgional ground it eau be connected with the proceed• THE NATIONAL REGIMR. ings of our government. If the speculati9n be a suc cessful one, can it be supposed that. Messrs. Baring and llnpe will divide their profits with the Cabinet? ter ,tainly not. If on the other hand, such a loan be dis agreeable to the feelings of :my person in this country, why blame the Government, who have nothing what ever to do with it ? Since writing the above, we have received the Paris Papers a Wednesday and Thursday. They are of sonic interest, as they announce the tied nitive arrangements with regard to the organiza tion of the character of Deputies. The question to be derided was how the chamber should be removed—whether after a certain period the whole Body should be dissolved, and all be sent back at the same time to their respective constituents—or whether only a determined portion of the members should va cate their seats by rotation at the end of each year. The latter mode has been ordained by the King, and from the minutes of the chamber which we have insert ed, it will be observed, that by an ordinance of his Majesty, the eighty nine Departments are divided into five equal series, each series is marked by one of the five fi , ..st letters of the alphabet ; balls with these letters impressed upon them, are thrown into an urn in the presence of the Chamber, and according to the order into which they are drawn each series goes out. Thus the Chamber will be renewed by fifths annually, and while all the advantages of an elective Legislature arc retained, the inconveniencies of a general election ate avoEed. We give an article from Madrid, dated the 9th instant. It furnishes nn detisive intelligence with regard to the capture of Monte Video. It represents of course, the 'prospects of the inhabitants as desperate. It is said, Unit agents have arrived in London, from the North American Patriots, for the purpose of inducing half pay officers of the army, and the navy to join their cause. An article from Nuremberg states, that at the solicitation of Bernadotte, the Emperor of Russia has requested of the King of France to send an Ambassador to the Court of Stockholm. It app,:ars that Louis has not yet recognized the dignity of the Crown Prince, although his restoration to the throne of his fathers was materially assisted by the conduct of that General nt the celebrated battles of Leipsic. From the German papers we learn, that the territorial ar rangements between Saxony and Prussia are at length about to be perfected, at the earnest instance of the Austrian Court. To the latter empire it is of course an object of serious importance, that no subject likely hereafter to originate any dispute, :lan remain unde cided among her neighbours.—The Princess of Wales, it is said, will pass the approaching carniral ut It is officially stated that the plague has broken out at Tripoli.—Meetings for Parliamentary Reform have been held this week at various places, both in the me tropolis and in the country. That theie is some room for reformation and improvement in the House of Com mons, no man will deny, and we fully agree with those who contend that all unmerited pensions and sinecure offices should be completely abolished ; but we are by no means disposed to approve of the plans which would extend the elective franchise to all men over 21 years of age. We fear that this would open a field to in creased corruption, because the distress and ignorance of the lowest orders would eventually expose them to temptations which they would not resist, and to impo sitions which they could not detect. Louis, &c. 1. The 66 departments of the kingdom are divided into five " During the session of 1816, the order in which the five series a'l hr called upon to renew deputies shall, be determined by lot. "3. The five series shall be placed according to tl•e lot, and nun.. bled ; the first drawn shall be first renewed ; the (idlers successively, a cording to the order of their numbers. "Dated Nov. 27, 1816. (Signed) • " LOWS." A table annexed gives the five series, three consist ing of 52 deputies each, and two of 51 each. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIE 6 '.—SITTING OF THE 22D OF JAN. M. Royer Collard, one of the Vice-Presidents, filled the Chair. A letter was read from the Alinister of the Interior, an nouncing the mode in which the members would go nut by . rotation. The eighty-six departments are divided by the ottlinanee into the series, each marked by one of the five first letters of the alphabet, A, 14, C, I), E. A list of them thus marked and classed, not alphabetically, but so as to ex haust the whole of the Deputies in five years, Was this d•iy presented to the Chamber by the Government, and the Ch tnt brr proceeded to deride, by lot, the order in which the dif fereat series are to go out. 'I he Viii -,,resident deposited in an urn, in view of the Chamber, five balls, each of which had inscribed on it one of the live first letters of the alphabet, A, /I, C, 1), E. M. Blamptari de Hailleul, one of the secretaries, then FR cessively drew the 5 balls, which made their adpearanee in this order, C, D. E, H, A. It was therefore annonnerd th.t the members of the departments placed under the letter C. go out at the close of the session 1816; the next leant &wish iu svcesaiou till the cud ct . 3 5 Ch)iOM. The ciUmeiitt thus JANUARY 9.7. continues constantly full, and there are only partial elections going on in France annually. In the list of the members going ant at the close of the ses sion, but may of course be re•cicrted, we b ee Messrs. Try, Pasquivr, IHlart. De Scrre, D'Argenson, A mesrage was then received commonicating the King's orders, that the Chamber should proceed to choose a list of tive candidates, out of %%honk the King might choose a new President, in We room of M. Pasquier, called to other func tion•. The Chamber proceeded to the olection, by ballot; awl the following was the list of candidates chosen: MM. de Set re, !tame, Fagot de llama, Belton, and Rover Collard. 91:e. Chamber then in al e some arranneutents in the order of their business, and adjourned. Mannin, JAN. 9.--. Our Gazette is stufA•d with nothing but ad. dresses. The Government seems busy in sending off reinforcements to oar different colonies threatened by the insurgents; we helie%e that, generally speaking, the cause of the mother country is far from being desperate; but the Ministry affect to publish nothing without official dispatches. It is certain, that both in South America, and in Mexico. constant jealousies among the insurgent chief, nearly paralyze their efforts; and the capitals are all 'Vended by firm and vigorous governors. The insurrection devours itself. Artigas, on the river Plate, does nut choose to fight under the colours of Govern men', and the Portuguese and Buenos Ayres troops take advan taNe of these divisions to extend their enterprises. A crowd of adventurers flock to the insurgents, of whose tunnels they arc ignorant, and w! , cr only receive to expese them to the first fir: , racy cannot agree together; what can foreigners hope who do nut understand even the language? There seems to be no truth in the report that the King of Portu gal nuns to return to Europe. A French paper states, that Mr. Mnnme has been elected President of the United States, by 17(1 against 40. The King of Sw•calcu is said to LC dangerously By au American ship from Sumatra, and last from the Isle of France, we have received the melancholy in telligence of the burning of great part of Port Louis, in that Island, on the .25th September, by which the great est wealth and resources of its inhabitants have been consumed. Dispatches have been received from Gen. Farquhar by General Don, to be forwarded to Lord Bathurst. PORT-Au-PtuNcr.—Captain Henfield, of the brig, Sa ah, reports, that the latest accounts from the Spanish Main represented the affairs of the Patriots in that quarter to continue successful. A vessel had arrived at Port-au-Prince, with an invitation to General Bolivar to return to the Main and resume a command in the Pa triot army. Barcelona and Cumana had surrendered to the Patriots, and (araccas was reported to have been evacuated by the Roialists. On the dissolution of the present Parliament, it is understood Mr. Curran will offer himself as one of the candidates for Westminster. r FORM.—The Dublin Chronicle received yesterday, informs us, that the Common Council of that City, have divided, by a majority of 20, to petition the Par liament for a repeal of the Union. An attempt was made by the Giffard party to carry an anti-reform measure, which was defeated. Lord Sidtnouth has addressed letters to the Loral Lieutenant of the counties of Chester, Leicester, and we believe, to the Lords Lieutenant of several other coun ties, recommending the enrolment of the inhabitants as Special Constables, fhr three months at least ; and also suggesting the propriety of the Yeomanry Corps within the county holding themselves in readiness to assist the civil Power at the shortest notice. In the night of Saturday week a Russian gentleman, charged with dispateles for the Russian Ambassador 11 here, was stopped between Abbeville and Montreuil by an armed banditti, who robbed him of his watch, money, several packages fir the Ainkssador in London, and all his effects, excepting the dispatches, which, in the most spirited manner, were retained. The robbers were about 12 in number, and it is supposed intended to have attacked the diligence from Paris. The packages, it is said, contained some valuable presents from the Dupe. ror Alexander to the Prince Regent. NEW CW_V.IGE. The issue of the New Coinage will create what we may call a little hustle; but we trust there will be no farther inconve nience : at least we are sure, that it is within the competence of human foresight and attention to prevent it. It wonlil hardly lie thought how difficult an oreration of State it has been heretofore considered to call in the old, and issue a new coinage of silver. In King William's time, wheu such a mea sure took place, it was thought likely even, to shake the new settlement. The Country Bankers have agreeil to receive the Old Sils er and issue the New Coin in exchange, but to appoint each his own Inspector. The Bankers of London, although disposed to afford Government every facility in their power in the exchange and delivery of the new silver, could not, with a due attention to their own concerns, Clp the same to take place at their several banking houses. 4 Committee of Bankers, however, on Wednesday met at the Mansion House, to consult with the Lord Mayor on the sub ject. As far as concerns the metropolis, twenty six station., ut variens parts of the town, vie ugrei d to. At these several points, shop•, or other cotiveMent places, are to be taken on the occasion at the public expence: and the bankers are to find an inspector for each station. All kinds of silver are to be taken which can by any meaus be identified to be the current coin of the realm. The CommittenutdaMed from the common Council the use of Guildhall, as the central minion for the City. It has already been made known that the issue will commence on thu 3d °forst month. 'rite following stations are appointed for the purpose :-- South Sea Ilease, (11'041k:ill, l'emple Bar, Charing Crosi, Palace Yard, Oxloril Street, East and \Vest, Cray's 11. ti Lane, Lambeth, Bermondsey, Borough, east and west, Wap. ving, WlAiONltavel, Skitaltieltk i StpitWieW i liQutteticet.
