Madier. *Slew Moot in his petition demanded the entire m il of the Count Decaxes from the appointment Minister of the leterior. The Siesta Danny and vj wand made a similar demand. The Sieur Pinot, to.ient functionary. complained of hawing been un otiv deprived of his office by the Count Deeases.' alsJ altusel the latter of dismissing from all public posts the old friends of the monarchy, sad replacing them by traitors and enemies of the Bourbons. H- accused him of bring the asse of all the divisions which agitate France. The Sitar Galloy reproached him as having perverted tVe peo?le and the army. and as having excited them w revolt. Before passing to the third petition, the 'reporter observed, that the two former appeared to written by the same person, thou g h bearing dif idea; signatures. The Slear Lejoyand demanded e t impeachment of Docases. I will, said the He rter. by the advice of the committee, forbear to read this petition. It is filled with imputations the most odi ous against M. Deceses, to whom it imputes all the evils, put an d present, of France : but all these are vague, insignificant, and full of party spirit. I propose the order si the day. M. B. Constant agreed in the motion of passing to the order of the day upon the two first,l hatopeosed it upon the third petition, which contained the bad serious, and, no doubt, unfounded charges spinet Id. de Cases ; for be was therein accused of eersiosing the turnssinstion of the Duke de Berri. For the honour of France, and for the sake of the cha-i rider of M. Decries, the petition ought to be sent to the Council of Ministers, that an inquiry might be instituted. This proposition excited great agitation in the Chamber. Several Member spoke amidst the con lotion, sad the motion was at length put to the vote and negatived by a feeble majority. They then passed to the questios-relettoo toils' Lunn's. which bad formed the subject of debate in the previous sitting of Thorn s day. Souse amendments proposed by the Committee were adopted. and the Chamber then adjourned. On Friday the King gave a private audience to the Persian Ambassador. His Majesty transacted busi• nese with Count Simeon and the Duke de Riebelieu. 1 hese papers contain no news from Spain. Penmen Fweos—(Fatoav).--Five per Cents.. 73 fr. 35 c. ; Bank Actions, 1500 fr. We received Bermuda Papers this !persist to a late date, the 15th March. Lord Combermere, at present Cosimmoder is Chief of the West India islands, will s►ortly proceed to Ceylon. Tlte How of Assembly met on Tuesday loot, pur suant-to a special call from his Excellency the Ho- Mr. Moe gave notice of his intention at the meet ing to submit a motion for a Committee to inquire into the connect of the two Magistrates who had been lately illumined from magistracy by his Excellency the ths. venter, in °vier to as:ertain whether they deserve such treatment or not; and he stated that his object in giving notice wis to afford gentlemen sufficient time to prepare themselves fur discussing the subject. --( &Hawes* Paper.) The an-ful catastrophe is consernmated, and the men whose ills tee rebellion threatened the assassination of Ministers, as the subversion of the Oovernment, if not of the State, are no more. By whatever hand they were led to the particular attempt for which they have suffered, their spirits were consenting to the deed. Fear and want of opportunity might have long delayed, if not totally prevented their designs, from attaining sulicient maturity to be put into esetution; but the seeds of murder were sown, and but little was wanted to develop their growth. Yet woe .o the hand, if such there be, by which the fatal) g-rm was cherished, warmed, and expended into If effeeces mast need come," the seducer to their commission is still more carat than their per petrator.—A seisms feeling, unmixed with alarm or sympathy, but of a deep and mysterious character, pervaded all classes of the metropolis yesterday morn hit!, and particulArly the immense crowds assembled to witness the execution. It was heightaaed by the k uow l e dge that, of the five wretched men who stood on the brink of eternity, four seemed totally indifferent to the terrors of that world into which ti,ey were about to plunge. One rail, and to the homier of that class let it be spoken, a man eerelour, appeared duly impressed with his Olt Couviaced af the existence of a Creator, and the efficient atone mem of a Redeemer, he sought in the bosom of reli gion and the outpourings of prayer, that doilliaatios which lifts the soul above the guilt and miseries of earth, and makes death itself a bedlam light to be berm. his deportment on the scaffold bore witness THE STATESMAN• to the superiority of his creed, over the infidelity, or, at best, the doubts of his fellow-sufferers. All, in deed, Ikaintaisiod an outward show of firmness, and thus proved that what they bad resolution to suffer, they would have had strength of nerve to execute ; but that show of firmness was of a very different character. In TtDD and Hiiuscr it appeared a brutal indifference; in Eras an assumed turbulence of spirits : in THISTLE WOOD a contention of manliness with horror, in which, though the latter was perceptible, the former remained unsubtlued. In DATIDPON alone it bore the calm and unassuming composure of a resigned spirit. Tuts rtoswoo o could not conceal the mental tempest which raged beneath his outward peace and professed infidelity. His address to TIDD upon the scaf fold, " shall soon know the grand secret," proved that the consciousness of immortality forced itself upon his soul, even at the moment of •p -parent annihilation. And what terrors must it not have brought to a guilty, and perhaps unrepenting spirit. DAVIDSON spent his last moments in fervent prayer. The robber on the Cross was forgiven—let us trust that the intended assassin wet with similar mercy ; and let us retest, with a consoling hope, that the fountain of that redeeming mercy flows for all, and that even the most hardened may find grace in the eyes of Him, whose existence they have rashly denied, and whose saving faith they have blindly abandoned. For four years has the kingdom of England enjoyed profound peace, and from the commencement of that period the attention of the whole empire has been turned to one great question—the employment of the people—yet no practical advance towards the accom plishment of the object is discernible; on the con trary, though urged by the most desperate symptoms of national disorder, which all men now admit to ori- I ginate in the want of such employment ; though the progress of agriculture is stopped if the art be not re• trogading—though the demand for the staple mann fActures of the country decrease must alarmingly— thong!. commerce languishes--and lastly, though re venue falls off and the public securities sink, yet not a solitary attempt has been set on fo to obviate the sure, the inevitable d ertiction that mint termi nate this lamentable inactivity. In the mean time the country is sinking faster and faster, and deeper and deeper. It has been shown how impossible it must be to hope or expect a peaceable or a prosperous community while starvation and misery press with such severity st#on the people. The irreme diable condition of hope lessness to which the country must lie reduced is nil nifeet, unless some N ATIONAL IMILAPURE for the employ ment of the industrious be institu•ed. It is time to convince the Legislature that the bulk of the nation are not blind to the duties which have devo'Ned upon Administration. We esperiones as evil. obviettsly irrempvable by in dividual effort, or by the efforts of th'e whole swift,- in their individual powers and capacities. 'I he wisdom of no one man has yet been able to elucidate so clearly the cause, and to proceed up to the demonstration of the remedy, as to dash conviction upon the general understanding. But we entertain not the most remote doubt, that all the parts of the subject have been in vestigated and satisfactorily explained by various minds--that the true principles have been developed— that adequate expedients have been proposed, and that it is only necessary to collect the disjeeta ine,ohra, the scattered notices—to digest and to employ them. This 1 is the natural and proper department of the I.lovern went, and such a mass of suffering, hazard, and loss 1 ---so much of every thing dangerous to liberty and life, has been accuoittlated, and is still accumulating, from what we must esteem the negligence or the in capacity of Ministers, that with such facts pressing upon their senses, we were never so much astounded' as at the apathy of those in whose power it lies to in sist upon some attempt to meliorate the condition of the country, or upon a change of mom. It is mar vellous to perceive how Ministers derive strength from I their very weakness --how the terrors of the few, arising out of the fatal consequences of the distresses of the many, have tended to protract for a time the duretion of that Adtuinistration which such facts ought, according to the judgments of reason and the lessons of experience, to have driven from office ; for the eon• dition of the governed, we losable ig, is the test of the ability of the governors. 'I hat labour has c eased to ply its work, all ord , n of men assure us--all the public accounts that bow upon national industry prove—all the facts that MN the individual and the general observations demelaw strata. It is then no longs: matter of choice. Some monsure so stimulate and revive the palsied members Orimeciety must be taken, ur the whole body ponds must perish. It is for these reasons, and the meet their force is considered the more irresistible we ate persuaded they will appea,, that we hare looked only to one principle, THIII PAINCIPLI Of PRODUCTION, lii that which can free the country, without dishonour, front its cruel ensbarrassments.-1 hat Ministers have so long been blind or indifferent to this view of the sab ject. or impotent to carry it forward, is, as we este,. k, I condemnation without redemption ; and so long as Illey matinee in power, the country for the same resume, tamely, that they are so blind, so indifferent, or so Ingo. Mat, is left without hope. A loan, a property-tax, or ady fiber tax, are only expe heats to fa ilitate the distribio 1 des of the possessions of those who have amongst thew 'behave not---expedients which relieve one class at dm I • apace of soother, like the room' rate. Once wail dila Mt us endeavour to impress upon the nation, tike tor nin of the national production is the sem raid f the national subsistence --that the making tbie equal and sufficient to satisfy the necessities, the rights. and the claims of every order of the commonwealth, is the only equitable mode of provision, and t. at this can be effected only by increasing production, through the instrumentality of that labour which is now silent 1 and still. All other modifications are but spoliation I or alms giving, to neither of which ought a free, an industrious, an ingenious, and a high-minded people to be subjected ; for every fresh exudes, unaccom panied by extended resfarces, is but Ihe extinction of Iso mach more of their freedom, their industr y , their in genuity, and their generous spirit. In another part of our columns we have noticed the anniversary festival of that most excellent of all the charitable Institutions of this metropolis—the Refuge for the Destitute. Amongst the many gratifying re lations made by the various gentlemen more imme diately connected with the establishment, of cams where the destitute and vicious had been provided for and reformed, none excited deeper feelings in the boievo lent hearts of the individuals present, than the statement of the worthy Treasurer, that the late A. BASING, Esq. had secretly contributed the sum of lOU/. an- Dually to the Institution, a-,.l by his will had left 630/. 3 per Conti. for the future furtherance of its ob jects. This is, indeed, an Institution well deserving the attention and support of such pure philanthropy. Well did the Right Hon. Chairman say, that in no other could the charitably-disposed attain so much good at so cheap a rate ; and, we will add, with out the possibility of doing harm. The Honorary Secretary of the Mendicity Society paid over MI Fairless from the funds of that Institution, for the support of its sister establishment; &Hedging, as a reason, that the Botrd of Management belonging to the MoutROIR? So‘irty, had always found something incomplete in their own system until they had re course to the Refuge for the Destitute. The health of the Rev. R. Crosby, the Secretary, was drank with every mark of respect, and ample justice done to his indefatigable exertions in favour of the Institution. He is not lees to be admired u an exemplary Minister of the Christian religion, than as a man performing its must d dutics--those of charity. COURT OF KING'S BENCll.—(Tais Air.) The Court was much crowded this morning in eon -1141101101 of Mr. Hunt's motion for a new trial, being] appointed to be taken this day. After the Conn bad disposed of the causes on the special paper. the King e. Hunt and others, was called upon. Mr. HUNT immediately arose, and stated to their Lordships, that in addition to the grounds of ol jection which be had before urged, he now wished to state smother. This was, that the evidence of the in scriptions on the flags oefht not to have been received. He referred Mr. Justice Bayley to that part of Mor ton's evidence where it was to be found. Mr. Justice BAT LET, after searching some time, said that he could not find it. Mr. Hunt.—lt is here, my Lord, in Mr. Dowling's report. Mr. Justice BATIAT.--1 can refer to nobody's notes but my own. Chief Justice Annorr.—Well, ! bare put down this objection in addition to the rest. Mr. Hunt then sat down, and Mr. Justice Bayley proceeded to read the evidence, beginning where be yesterday left otf. He continued doing so whru we I loft the Court. TV THE EDITOR OF THE STATESMAN.

Ltat:TaPIANTCT oror ISILAITD.—Ii is with much plea sure we learn, that his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex is confidently spoken of, in high political circles, as the personage most likely to succeed Lord Talb. , t, as Viceroy of Ireland. No appointment could be so gratifying to the people of this country, who have been long anxious to sec a Member of the Royal Family at the head of the Irish Government. Totally di s ti n ct from political view s and party politics, the measure would be hailed with inexpressible satisfac tion throughout the island, and we need scarcely add, that such a Court as his Royal Highness would esta blish, must confer great benefits on the city of Dublin, now running fast to decay, deserted, as it is, by the Nobility and Gentry, who formerly gave spirit and support to its trade and institutions. The Court of his Royal i•ighness would induce the return of many ab sentees from Ragland and the Continent.--(Doalia groan: Post.) Tea NLW LORD MATO .-9n • Tuesday the Privy Council sat, and having made inquiry if Counsel re lative to the Lord Mayor's eleeti..n were in attendaseo,' Mr. John Sealy Townsend, on the part of Alderman King, and Mr. Nesbit, one of the fiends:ens enormity* on the part of Aldermen West, were both istrodaind, whets, we understand, they were informed tbM din question at issue depended on a point of law, only St to be decided in the Court of King's Beach ; but this if the Privy Council should determine to hear Connell on the occasion, the hearing would take place oa Saturday next at three o'clork.—(Dublie Bees. Post.) The mission of Lord Clanwilliam to Rome has gives rise to various speculations, for, from his official situa tion, and the interviews, it is staid, he had whilst there, with the Ministers of the Sovereign Pontiff, many pea pie imagine he was sent out to make some arrange ments with the Pope respecting the Catholic question. From the Jamaica Papers received yesterday : By the last accounts received at Santa Marof f tha, it appeared that Boliva r, with a supposed force rom 8 to 10,000 men, was marching to Calaboso, which is the entrance towards the Cancels% by the way of St. Fernado de Apure, with the intention of attacking Morino, who was thought to have leo n 4 to MINI men, the greatest p art Europeans. Bolivar beemen, from I to 4,000 English troops altogether; JIMA 800 of them are with him ; they do not Mal mach from the climate, as might love bees ci. petted. Pass is supposed to have joined. It was con fidently believed that Bolivar's aisa is tbe occ wouldupa tion of the city of Car accas ; after witich, be besiege Morillo in Valencia and Ports Civello. They entertained great hopes of defeating him, provided he rec eived no reinforremtrots from Spain.
