LONDON: MONDAY, MABCII 1, 1819. Tim Paris Papers of Tuesday and Wednesday las have been received. The Moniteur gives the speech of the Martinis de Lally Toleendal upon the proporsition of M. Barthelemy for altering the existing Election Law ; and that is all. No opinions of any kind are put forth upon the'suhject. But the minor journals are not so silent. All of them contain paragraphs, which are o course written in the spirit of the political parties whose principles they respctively support. According to one side, the greatest alarm has already taken place, in con sequence of the proposition, and still greater is predict ed ; according to the other, no fears are felt,aad it is as serted, that the public voice calls fur some modification of the Law as it is now framed. Meanwhile, great ac tivity is displayed by the writers of pamph!ets, and hi tie Constant, who is perhaps the mast diligent pantphle ver in Europe, had already issued one from the press The Funds fluctuated considerably in the course of INlotalay, the Fire per Cents. begin at one time as low at tiBf.'sso.—,'On Tuesday they recovered a little, and I..ft off fit 69f. 10c.

He complained, chiefly, that the Marquis Barthelemy had submitted no special, precise or cleaned modification of any particular article of the " If he had, " said the Marquis, " I sltould among the first to range myself on his side, For ex ample, if it be true (and I request upon this point some ie.formation from Ministers) that in some of the Elects. sal Collegee, pretended voters exercised the right of election, who, instead of paying SOO francs of direct taxes; as the law requires, payed only 75, and even 25 f.ancs; then, 1 should not only rupport, but would m)- oalfpropose a milificati,m, not to altar, but to eallec the cxssting law by preventing abuses of it." He con i'.uded with the following %cocas ;—‘g Either withdraw our proposition, or make it clear and intelligible. Let tLe KING know what is required of him, and let us lotow what it is we are to ask.

The ratifications were duly exchanged at Washington between the two Ce'averituients, on th. 30th ult., and officially proclaimed by the Presideat, a lay or two afterwards. fu, chi of points which are arranged by this Treaty rclate to the right of fishing on the coasts of North America and Newfoundland, the line of dein trextion between the British possessions sal the territories of the United States, and the extension of the existing Commercial Convention fur ten years further. It does not touch upon any of those questions connected with the great commercial principles of our maratime laws, which have incidentally been brought into discussion by the Navigation Acts of the last Cua. grass Thesis, indee . l, as was mentioncl by the Presi. dent in his Message to Caogress, ars to be the matter of future negotiation ; and it was in consequence of the protracted conferrences to which their complexity was likely to lead, that the subsisting Convention was prolonged, The proceedings in Congress are brought down to the Ist inst. They were chiefly oecupied with the affairs of the Bank, and the Seminole war. Upon the former tubject, Mr. SPENCER moved the eolluiving Resol u tion " That the Secretary of the Treasury shall cause all the public deposits in the Bank of the Unitel State s and as several aloes of discanat tnil' •teit AA, to be withdrawn on the first day of Jury ai:xt ; that after the said day, the bills or notes of the said Corporation shall no longer be receivable in any payment to the United' States; 'and the Attorney-General of the United States shall o.t that day, or as soon thereafter as may be, cause a scire farias to be sued do in con. fortuity to the provisions of the Act to incorporate the subscribers to the Bank of the United States,' call ing upon the said Corporation to shew cause why its Charter shall, by a legal Act to be delivered tu, and and appruvel by the Attorney-Goaeral, and to be by hint transmitted to Congress at the nett Session there yf, declare its assents to the following propositions, on or befooo the said lit day of July next." The provisions are twelve in number. and have f their object, to place the Bank entirely under the con ir)! of Congress in all its transactions After a slight discusaion, in which there seemed uo diposition on the part of the speakers to seften the proceedings, the reso lution was ordered to lie on the table. In the Committee of Congress upon the Seminole wur,.several Members spoke for and against the censure proposed by the .\ lilitary Committee. The question was then adjourned. Wednesday the first Annual feetingof the Nlendicity Society was held at the lAnolun Tavern, the Duke of Northumberland in the Chair. The Report was read. Since March last, 2676 cases had been referred to Cie Society, which had atf,rdzd !bad to the upplicAnts, 'and to (i 77 children ; 561 int,sostors were detected, and or. dered to be prosecuted.

Meditations of a Neophyte. These Meditations are dedicated to n very large class of persontg•es in the present day ; for they are dedicated t. the Pow IVorgin of every Chris. fiats d:•illoniaalion. We would rather it had been to the practising world of every Christian precept ; hut, assoray, if the author's object was to address himself to a numerous tribe of readers, he has chosen the I.,Ner, thau-lii it does nut follow that it should be ‘• the bett a part." The .1 elitations themselves are very scrums, :lad very well-mraaing ; hut very dull ao l very ba,l, poetry. As a spe:ioien of it, We quote riltbon, though we ucliii.iwletiv that we have ma. fonni another Worie; perhays, because we hail look.Al for it. ...I Ll.lir4e of iniquity o'erikread the land; .• toriiety sat praii4Acy, open vice. chie Isial of visitters!

" Cavotets of Carrick, a Love Tale, aad Clandestine Marriage, the thirteenth meta, 3f.—" " Capabilities,—it has capabilities," was the fa. vorite expression of Brown the landscape gardener ; who sometimes applied it to objects where few capabi lities of tiny thing excellent would have been discerned by any excepting those who, laze him, had improved• a natural lover of the beautiful by an earnest and habi tual search after it. When we say, therefore, that this poem shows capabilities for better things amidst. the inaccuracies, the feebleneettes and the absurdities with which it abounds, we are perhaps, with Mr. Brown, in our mind's eye, cotnplimenting ourselves as much as the author. The truth is, where we see a poe ical rnaginatiotm, and a rectitude of feeling, we are very ready to excuse errors of ca:uposition ; and parti. calarly when they occur, as we snspect is the case is. the work before us in ►he productions of theft who have defended us duriag the dangers of war, and only • chose the innocent pistime of courting the muses during the week, "piping time of peace," which dc. prives them of any more profitable occupation. The author of this little porn . has dedicated it to Lady Frances Vane Tempest in a more prolix manner than fashion, has of late allowed to dedications; but the style of his is natural and animated that the length. will not ba• deemed impertinent, we hope, by the tliir lady herself; who cannot take it amiss that any one, who has an opportunity of addressing himself to her, though even only on paper, should endeavour to pro. long his discourse as much as possible. The hcroiue of the tale is very loving, and more candid in confessing herself to • c so than modern young ladies generally. are; in speech, at least; but as she, though fatherless, and an heiress, is not a ward in Chancery, she contrives to marry the man of her choice, without any ether inconveaience than a little temporary exile on the sex shove: am so very severe a puuisment in a huncy moon, and fine weather. Wishing that all young ladies in the like situatious may be equally forum ttc, we take our leave of the Bard t aniline; advising him nut to be idle; fur his voice will improve by aiti6ing.. Golivonin's Recollection of Japan. Captain Golivonin's Narrative of his " three years captivity in Japan," was sufficiently interesting to make elese recollections desirable. They arc given in the since unaffected style with his narrative ; and have tic saute great merit, of never attetnptinz to supply by; conjecture *tat he was prevented from his own übser vations, or by information from those on whose veracity he could depend. In addition to Captain Golwonin's remark, the Ecli, tor has given us a general introduction to them, corn. prising the accounts of most writers of any note re.. specting the Empire of Japan ; and enriched them with noteF, which uitogether form a compendious body of in formation respecting a country, of which, notwith+ standing our f;irater intimacy with it, little more is at present known to us than the situation and Willie ; Lut which with proper management, might be rendered an object of much importance to our commerce and mari time warfare.
