We have this morning received Paris papers to the 7th inst. The Chamber of Deputies held a sitting on Friday. The principal business related to a project of law introduced by the Minister of the Interior, respecting the circumscription of the Colleges of Arrondissement, and a proposition made by M. MAINZ DE BIKAN rela tive to some regulations in the Chamber of Deputies. LIVOURNIA, Dec. 21.—After a very dangerous voyage, during which, the English ship Vengettr, ex perienced a violent storm, the King of the two Sici lia arrived here yesterday morning. His Majesty is euteitained by the Duchess Houdia, at the palace of the Brand Duke. The King has appeared upon the balcony, and has been '.oudly cheered. Tuut,r, Dec. 28.—The King of the two Sicilies arrived at Florence on the 24th, be left on the 26th ; passed through Modena this day, and will arrive at Laybach on the 4th January. Ixspacca, Dec. 27.—8 y letters from Rome, it ap pears that there is no truth in the report that Cardinal noussirie had gone from Rome to Trevisa. Letters from Naples represent that the fermentation which had prevailed there for some days, had at length sub sided. The meetings of the people in the public squares, were discontinued. Hatiovan, DEC. 25.—We hare received the mourn ful news of the death of Prince Augustus of Bruns wick, brother of the late, and uncle to the preseni Duke. He was 42 years old.

The columns of our paper will, to day, be rotted occupied, even more than they usually have been striate, with accounts of public meetings held in different parts of the kingdom, for the purpose of considering Addresses to the King. That relating to the meeting of the county of Berks, will be read with peculiar in terest ; and the sketch of the speeches of Lord FOLIMITONS, Sir FRANCIS DURDIETT,Mr. HALLZT, sad Mr. Nissen, which we have given to the full extent oar limits would allow, cannot fail to gratify every British breast that feels a due solicitude in the issue of the snuggles that are making for the correction of corruption and arbitrary power. in the account we present of the proceedings in the Parish of Camberwell, the brevity to which we were com pelled to resort, bas incidentally diminished the exposure of thse pretended " friends to Oovern meat and order," who converted an assembly convened for the purpose of discussion into a scene of preme ditated riot and the grossest personal outrage. Defeat ed, u the plotters were, in their ultimate silos, in con sequence of the overwhelming majority they attempted to disturb, we have reason to rejoice that it was not in their power to cull in the aid of military force, as in other places the cnetnirs of the people can, to complete the schemes of their malevolence. In other parts of the country, where the adherents of Ministers are most strum, WS have occasion so hail again the ap. pearsoce of a spirit of independence from which we sugar Use happiest results. In the meeting of the connty4lllßenfrew, the ultra-loyal Address was car tied but small small majority. To-morrow we propose t to glee ail of ale proceedings that took place on that interesting occasion. Prince I.eopold paid a visit to the Queen at Bran• I detthnr:h•hoase on Saturday, and remained two Lours with her Majesty. His Royal Highness passed through Reading during the meeting yesterday, on Lis way to Lord Craven's seat near Newbury. The Queen, it is now affirmed, is not only treating for a permanent residence in this country, but is at this moment occupied in forming her Royal Household. The treaty in whieh her Majesty Is engaged for the purchase of the Doke of Marlborough's house, and which ours was the first London journal that announced, is said to be not quite concluded. In the event of the Maim Wing completed, the Prince Leopold would become tae een's tenant for the remainder of his term. It is said that Drage Bedard io to be ap pointed to the of Centres!.

A ndw tragedy, entitled 'lonialto, way produced lair night at this theatre. The following are the chief personages : Montilla Michael. MC. WALLACK. Mr. Coorra. • Darsiszb Mr. Boom Julia ... Lauri Montalto had been betrothed to Laura, and Blue became heir to her father's Plineipality. The father dies before their marriage. The bridegroom seizes her dower, bat abandons the bride, and marries Julia. Laura marries Duntzzo, who hi a favorite of Montalto. Michael, the brother of Durszzo, has some penchant for Julia, but a still stronger for the castle and domains of her husband. He, testigated by ambition, and Laura by revenge, conspire against Montalto. and draw into the plot. Duress°, a wavering personage, who feels some qualms, in con- Sequence of his obligations to Montalto. The main spring to be set in motion is jealousy. Montalto is just re turned from campaigning, and is somewhat moved by an anonymovs admonition. couched in uncouth verse, and with oracular ambiguity. Michael follows up the impression tuns produced. and inspires him with the furies of love and jealousy. The supposed Italian', a Count Bassano who makes an attack upon the castle, is in every body's mouth, but never appears. Montalto is hregglit in wounded, curses his wife, but being made acquainted with the treachery of Laura and the brothers, is no less eager la blessing her, and dies. But lilleean be said as to the merits orate tragedy as a dramatic representation. It is wholly unfitted fur the present state of onr stage, or rather for the taste which governs it at this particular period. That grand, indict !sensible ingredient in the composition of a timbre drama—action, or incident, has appatentli teen unheard' of, certainly untbought of, by the author up to the fourth act of his play. There were days, however, in wi ich this crying sin would have been amply redeemed by the poetic genius that is stamped upon almost every passage of Montalto : by the many touches of originality, and frequent indications of a close intimacy with human na ture which it undoubtedly centains;—and by the all-sub duing pathos which its author has thrown into the character of Julia. But in these days of gas and steam, who shall dare speak of the crude opinions and judg ment of mere barharians,living in an uncivilized age, mon strously assuming to themselves the sacred character of critics, and pronouncing the foregoing qualifications to he the very sonl,—the life-streams of tragic writing. Such dogmas are now happily exploded ; and we have the tra gedy of Wallace nith scarcely a line of poetry; and nut a tittle of originality in its whole composition, drawing the town in crowds, merely because there is in it a powerful actor, and sonic striking situations. Mon talto will net retain a long possession of the stage; but if the anthor, as we understand the ease to he, has written for fame rather than profit, he may be fully con fident that his hopes will not be blighted. His wage ly , will live and be cherished in the closet, when many oft our modern popular pieces have spun out their epliente- 1 1 ral existence, and passed to the tomb of all the Capulets. Mr. Wact.aes, as the hero, acted with much energy and effect ; and in one or two parts displayed more feeling than generally marks his performances. COOPER and BOOTH also made every thing of the characters allotted to them. But die deep pathos with which Mas.Wesr sustained that of Julia, was the chief support of the tragedy. Her reception of the curse was one of the finest dramatic efforts that we ever witnessed. It seemed as if a withering blast had struck upon her heart, and palsied every sense. The exertions of this lady pro cured the majority which s stets the play after the fall of the c to the 'await,- . meet for tglight was not getteltilt. A PATRIOT: !!

EDIXBUII6I4 Jax. s.—At the meeting of as bytery of Edinburgh this day, Dr. Inglis brought forward his promised motion for a loyal address to the throne, expressive of the opinions of the Presby tery, on the present state of the country. He had prepared an address, which he took the liberty of pro posing, It was seconded by Dr. ONAMT. Sir HARRY Mont.'s'', rose, and opposed the all• gallons of the address, as far as . they imputed any de gree of irreligion and disaffection to the inhabitants of this country. sufficient to authorise the present address. In which opposition the Hon. Bart. was supported, in a speech of considerable length and ability, by the Rev. Andrew Thomson, who also con tended, that under the present circumstances, when the objects pursued at public meetings, were, simply, to vote for the dismissal of ministers, or fur their con tinuance in office, the address• would be considered a party address. It was impossible it could be viewed in any other Ight, when gentlemen came there from their Council Chamber, where they had been voting and signing an such an extravagant address as they had heard of, and pulled out of their pockets another which they considered the very thing fur the Presby tery to vote and sign in co-fit-ration of their Council chamber address. After one or two other Members had delivered their I opinions against the Address, the Rev. Doctors Inglis and Grant replied. The A Idress was agreed to with out a vote, Sir Harry Moncrieff contenting himself with delivering in his reasons of dissent, which were immediately signed by the Rev. A. Thomson, and other Members are expected to attach their names before the next meeting of the Presbytery.—(Edissenrgh Star.) On Wednesday there was a good deal of animated discussion at the Meeting of the Presbytery of Glas gow. After some routine business, the reverend Principal Taylor, rose and proposed an address to the King at the present juncture. The reverend Mr. Lapslie seconded the motion. The Rev. Dr. Taylor, jun. hoped it would pass uttanimou‘ly. The Modera tor put the question. The Rev. Dr. Chalmers ob jected to any inference with politics on the part of the Presbytery. He recommended to them rather to devote their exertions to the religious improvement of their parishes.—(Applause in the gallery.)—The Rer. Mr. Lapslie made a warm speech in reply to .Dr Chalmers. Alluding to the applanso, lie told the audience that they might to remember that they were not now in John Street Church. The Rev. Gent. was more than once adtnonished to address his obser vations to the ('hair.) It was then resolved that there should be an address ; and one, prepared by the Reverend Dr. Uibb was proposed. A number of modifications were made in it by the Mode rator and others. The Rev. Dr. Chalmers said, that he was more and more convinced that there should be no Address. The Rev. Dr. Muir thought it abso lutely necessary that the Presbytery should express their loyalty on this occasion. The Rev. Mr. Moon in a neat speech opposed the Address. The Ret. Mr. Marshall concurred in the opposition. Some l'aet discussion reseed. In the end the Andress was , tied in its modified shape, without being put to the ,Edisawrglo Courant.) • • $ LANE Tit --.4.0.-- SAE _ THE EITATAMAN..._ mamas IN I DRUAt rNG INTEL, ~. sETTING AT TATTERSALL'S, JAL S.
