PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. Ppri , , Oct. 9. A sanguinary qnarrel, of tLe cause of which we are ignorant, which look place at half-past 10 in the evening, in front of the Pont Note, Dame, at the corner of the Rue Planche 51ilhay, between some Frenchmen and foreigners, has given occasion to measures which have produced some alarm in that qUarter. Yesterday, at half-past I'2, about 1000 Prussian troops, with three pieces of CRIIIIOII, sur- rounded the different street, in that part of the town. *On arriving below the Pont Notre Dame, on the side of th e Qoai 1 1 .-.lletier, they received orders to load, which was executed. The Commandant, M. Prue!, immediately summoned the principal inhabitants and proprietors, and required from them information re. lative to the event which had occurred. After an energetic exhortation to maintain tranquillity, he I dismissed them. Four or five were, flowerer, car. vied away. The troops retired after a kind of block ade. which lasted an hour. Beside the three persons mentioned in the Papers as having cried Vive Kittpereur !on Saturday last, there were about a dozen arrested on the Pont Neuf by the Police Agents fur seditious speeches more or less openly uttered. This morning when the King showed himself on the balcony, a young man again cried Vive l'Empe rear ! He received a good drubbing both with fists and canes, and was finally carried off by the guard. A letter from Ghent states, that another assassina. tion was committed there on the evening of the 4th, on M. de Pastele, formerly Captain of the Town soldiers, and nearly 80 years of age. His body was found, without his watch and shoes, in Lower Polder. greet. The Museum was open to the public yesterday. fends. Dne 1 0 0 • PRICE Ole STOCKS THIS s.llltl DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. bwrig.

FAGLr, of 13-iore. M. LAtNE had the greatest number of votes in his favour, and was proclaimed one of the num ber of Candidates, out of whom the King will select the President ; but none of the other Deputies hav ing the neces4ary,riiajOlp, the scrutiny, which last• ed till five in the , evistitoz, was adjourned till Wed- nesdiy, and the Sitting %as broke up. There is lit- tle reason to doubt that M. LAM; will be the Presi dent. The first object after the Chamber is legally constituted will be to vote an Address to the King iu reply to his Majesty's Speech. The Deputies, therefore, at the date of these Pa- Flyers, had not entered on the discussion of the arti cles of the Treaty. In regard to the proceedings of the Chamber o Peers, we.bAy.e a more important, though a less circumstantial notice. The Peers have commenced their public acts by a most remarkable proceeding indeed; they have expelled two of their Members, M. 13nunnosNAIE OF. licossac and Jetts DE l'n- Ltpusc, for persisting to qualify the oath which they tniA at the 11-'5l tii:ting, when the King's speech wits delivered, in which his Majesty admitted that - - the Constitutional Charter was suacl)tible of provemetirs.—These Members took the Oath ofl Fidelity, with a IFlP•va'ion or qualification in favour I of e Protestao IteliAion. It appears from their expulsion, (s hich is of course the work of royal in. uem e and authority, that the emendations of which the Charter (leveled suzceptible, by the leading part of the But:Reny Fan ily, and probably by those who framed the Royal speech, are not of the liberal find comprehensive cast which the objectors who have been thus visited with punishment think necessary. The Charter is already deemed of too liberal a na ture by the governing part of the Royal Family, and so inimical is it known to be to the Duchess of ANGOULEME, that although a tribune was prepared for her at the splendid ceremony of the opening of the Legislative Session ) her Highness refused to ho- ° ME STATESMAN. nour that exhibition of loyalty with her presence.— The Nimes of the Blood assisted at the Sitting in which the refractory Members were expelled ; and thus we see ender what sort of Constitution and in fluence the new Peers are disposed to act, together with the degree of freedom which is to be allowed in matters of opinion in the Higher Chamber. All op position to the Royal will, the will of the French Princes and the Allies, is to be silenced by the strong hand of authority. This is, of course, intended in the first place to deter objections on a still more import ' ant point, the terms of the Treaty of Peace, which have still to he enforced at the point of the bayonet. The Chamber of Peers is not expected to resume its Sittings till the 14th. Both Chambers &liberated with closed doors, which accounts for the very meagre report we have of their proceedings. The next intelligence will most probably commu nicate the debates relative to the articles of the Treaty. T'•e belief generally prevalent in Paris, that the King of FRANCE is unwilling to execute the con ditions, is expected to have a considerable influence on the discussions ; it is even asserted, that at the• j private meetings of the Deputies, sentiments decided ly hostile to what is generally considered the degra dation of France, ■re loudly and energetically ex- • Pressed. During the last fortnight irri•iatory debates frequently took place, and it is reported that on Sunday last a general sketch of the terms of the Treaty with the Allies was, by the Kieg's order, communicated to a private meeting of the Depu ties, and that such a .sensatien was produced as to create a belief that they would with difficulty be induced to give their approbation to the Treaty.— Such a circumstance is by no means improbable, and in such a case it may be interesting to conjecture what would be the consequence. It is true, that the power of peace or war is vested constitutionally, as in England, with the Executive Authority, but it rests with the Chambers to impose the taxes, to liquidate, the contributions. In case then of their refusal, can the Allies, consistently with their own declarations, their repeated premises, resort to military measures of exaction ? Can they, after having attained the alleged object of their hostility, in►olve France and themselves, or rather the inhabitants of their respective countries, in miseries, the extent and ter• Initiation of which are incalculable? But we talk of promises and declarations that have already bees: shamefully violated, and of miseries that ar4jtaa garded, though they are every day more deeply felt, and assuming a more frightful appearance. The pu!dic Journals occasionally allude to Ile disturbances occasioned by seditions"atrempts lo inAtme the public mind, and the punishment of th* agitators ; but the extent of these disturbances is far from being accurately described. The terms of the TrPaty, which Louts is said to have concluded, has enforiated his enemies still more, and given serious o crp o re to many pure itopli4s. The most public notices are held out, that NArot.ton H. is consider. ed as the legitimate Sovereign, and the Buuncusts as mere intruders and usurpers, identified with the dtvailation of France, and the Powers who are now tyrannizing over her. NEY !Its demanded to be tried by a Council of Pees. If he de.ires to have his fate decided by such Weis a: have pa.sed sentence on BLOSSAC and Po. LIGNAC, he may have occasion to lament his having made such a chilice. An article from Madrid, purporting to be racial, of the date of the 27th September (three days later than the articles from Corunria, which communicated the unpleasing tidings of Foam ER'S defeat), announces the disastrous termination of shat Goneral's attempt. The account is similar to what has already been com municated. Two letters from Coronna are stated to hare been received, addressed to Don Pena° Cc- VALLos, the first of which describes the Marquisito's march upon Si. Jago, with the few troops which he thought were to be depended upon, and of their hese desertion (we call it so) of their Chief, and of a Cause so honourable to him, which might have opened the t hou of liberty, knowledge, and happiness to a priest-ridden and benighted nation. _ _ _ We have noticed that the date of the official art-- de, containing the confirmation of the Corunna news, is of the 27th Sept. but these letter., on which this official information is founded, are of (he same date as our own letters, and we suspect are nothing more than a translation of them, purposely disseminated by the Spanish Government, and en titled to a like degree of credit. A prostcript announces that the Captain-General has left the castle. The other letter states that Pon. mr.it and his suite were taken and brought into Co. l'Ulltl2. The Madrid Gazette Extraordinary adds, in a linle, that its private correspondence states, that 1'01;1.11 . .1i was arrested two or three leagues from St. Jaques, where he was taking his repose.—Two subaltern Officers are the persons mentioned, as bribed by large sums of money received from the l'riests and Nobility, who took him hi bed. PARIS, Ocr. ll. CIIA MBER OF DEPUTIES, Oct. 9. • The Sitting was opened at eleven o'clock, and im• mediately formed itself into a secret Committee. At noon, the Members went into their bureaus for the veriacatiou of their powers. At half past two, they re-entered the hall of their Sittings, and the Chamber again formed itself into a Secret Committee, in order to hear different reports upon the same subject. Ocrosiot 10. At 11 o'clock the Members met with closed doors, under the presidency of M. Coetard, the senior Member. The following particulars respecting this Sitting have been communicated to us. The verification of the powers was concluded. 'The question was then agitated, whether the gal- lery should be opeilet . I to the publie? It was decided that these should be no public sittings till the King had appointed the President of the Chamber. The Assembly afterwards proceeded to the SeTUii- Hy for the nomination of candidates to the Presidency. The number of Members present was 316 ; the ma jority consequently was to be 170. On the first scrutiny M. ',sine had 128 rotes,aml was proclaimkd a candidate. The Prince de la Ttemouille hpd 170; M. de Grosbois, 1`15; NI. Bellatil, 124; NI. de la Kigandie, 125; M. de Clereroont dc. Mont St. Jean, 123; NI. Net de Biure, 96. None of these a.- polies having obtained the absolute majority the second scrutiny was put off' till to-morrow. Wien the Chamber shall he legally constituted, the first ob ject, it is said. will be to ante an Address for a De putation to the King. The sitting broke up at a quarter past five. The Chamber of Peers has shown a remarkable proof of its attachment to the Constitutional Char ter, by the expolsinn of M. M. de la Bourdonnaie de Blossac and Jules de Polignac, because of t;:eir persisting.to qualify the oath which they took on the day of the Royal sitting. The Princes of the Blood assisted at this sitting. It is thought that the Chamber of Peers will not pin assemble till the 14th. It has voted an Address to the King, and appointed a Committee to revise it. • A Decree of the King appoints Marshal the Duke of Reggio, General-in-Chief of the National Guard of Paris. Two others are of minor importance. The cause of Colonel Champeauz, Mjutant-Com maudant of the Royal Legion, was yesterday brought again before the 2d Council of War. The result of Wit enamlnations upon this affair was, that in March last, when criminal defections prepared the success' of an enterprise, the issue of which has been so fatal, good Frenchmen, still entertaining some hopes, wished to assemble around them the heroes of their county>, and make a first effort against the usurper. Superior Officers applied to raise volunteer corps.— In order not to run the risk of danger, they found it necessary to conceal their motive, anti- therefore, in order to serve the legitimate cause, they assumed the language of rebellion. Such mentaOreservations anti wily precautions might necessarily he attended with great errors, Which has actually been the case.— M. de Chrimpeausshad in those day* no commission from the King—his authority was given by Marshal Davoust, Minister of War, but the Colonel loon had an understanding with the Duke de Feltre—he collected a great number of soldiers devoted to the King's cause—their principal objek was to seize up on the person of Bonaparte at Malmaison, and to dissolve the Chamber of Representatives. M. -de Cifittnpeaux had caused white uniform+ to be made the legion amounted to 1000 moo. On the Bth of July, this corps, in uniform, marched to give the King the meeting at the barrier of St. Denis; it was disbanded after his Majesty's return, and M de Champeauz was arrested. M. Viotti, the King's Commissioner, concluded his speech with the following words—" Every means of defence advanced will never de away the dangerous tendency of such proceeding., and should it not be sufficiently serious for the law to take cognizance of, still M. de Champlin' has to blame himself for the mistake of which he complains, that he himself has contributed to the change of authority respecting his intentions, and that, in fine, be only is to be blamed for the loss of his liberty and for being brought be fore this Tribunal." Ile concluded by moving, that the accused should be acquitted. The Council pronounced him not guilty of having given commissions to Officers to form a Royal Lec,ion without authority, and ac quitted him of the charge brought again:t him.— It ordered him to be immediately set at liberty and re-instated in his functions. M. de Champeaux had been in prison 78 days. Six individuals of different professions have just been sentenced, by Tribunals of the Dopartment of Upper Garonne, to different periods of imprison. went, for seditious discourse and songs. Yesterday a Journalist took the liberty of giving an account of the debates which took piece in the Secret Committee on the evening of the 9tit. What must be the consequence of this indiscretion of ap pearing better informed than his fellow labourers?— Like eave-droppers this man has acted ; giving his Readers on almost imaginary article and full of mistakes. In the first place, he says, that the sit , ting of the two (louses was public, when it was with closed doors. lie then announces that the admission of M. M. Michaud and Bert was put off, and yet these Gentlemen were proclaimed Members of the ,Chamber. It is affirmed that measures are taking to . prevent like indiscretions on the pert of our brother scribes. . ST.

Much bustle was experienced on the Stock Es change. yesterday morning, in consequence of the great rise in Stocks, and the money market is now the centre of attraction for all the great speculators.

Three men were convicted of those crimes which have so long afflicted and scowls lised the country ; and they hod, immediately after conviction, the sentence of the law pronounced azanst them, and carried forthwith into esecorion. They were taken from the dock, under a miit'ry .'scort, to be conveyed to the prison ship, at Cork, from whence they are to be transported to Botany for seven years. The following appeal case came before the Lnrds of Justiciary, nt the Circuit Court, held at Glasgow, on the 30th ultimo :—" An Officer (the Adjutant of a regiment quartered in Glasgow, and acting Major of Biigede in garrison) having had occasion, in May last, to ride from the barracks to the magazineguard to correct some irregularity, went by the direct road though the town, but returned by the north side of the town, and coming to the toll-bar at the town head, was stopped by the keeper of the gate aod forced to pay toll, on pretence that he was Bat then on duty, but taking a ride for pleasure, the tell-rnao alleging, that the road which the Officer had used in returning was not the direct road between the bar racks and the magazine guard. The Officer com plained to the Justices of the Peace for Lanarkshire against the toll keeper, for an illegal exaction of tie toll, and the Justices sustained the complaint, aid found the toll-man liable in 21. 10s. sterling of da mages and expences. Of this sentence the toll-nou complaiir•d, by appeal, to the Circuit Court, when the Lords affirmed the sentence, and found the Ap pellant liable in full costs." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
