The scenes to which he adverted were an well known that he would list particelaiii• them, for they had obtained the al most pub! rily in all the public whits, ender the title, Scramble for Property.—(!peer,hear!)—Upon these particular cases he was not about to pro p'se any thing to the Court, heritage be tressed in God, indeed ho had good return to hope, that they would never mar. If he entertained mach doubt upon the subject, he might be disposed to mak•• motion —(llere marvel Mem bora cried out, More, wore!)—But he confidently anticipated that the necessity would be wholly re. moved ; at all events be would not now propose sus thing to the Court on this subject. Th. motion he meant to make was respecting the conviction of some persons • abort lime since for a conspiracy against she mercantile world, and whose punishment, in part, Inflicted upon them the payment of 15,0001. fine.— This penalty it was known, by an ancient Swore, 'maul the money in this hands of the Corporation of London. From the information be bad collected, he bed reason to believe that the fine had been neatly recovered, and he bad no doubt but the City Solici tor would do his duty in securing the whole. The object of his motion was, that the Solicitor should take doe won% to recover the said penalties of 15,0001. and that be should good the same, bet not appropriate it to any purpose whatever, without the special order of the Court, After some timber observatioes, the Court acceded to the m•ition. Mr. [mom then moved that it be referred to the General Pr. poseCrimmittee, to enquire how the en. claimed Seaton,' (.ash of the Court of Requests in the liiirnrigh is disposed of, when a discussion ensued, the previous question nos put sod negatived, and the original voestion finally agreed to.

In the Parliamentsry proceedings of last night, nothing particularly occurred to (wiry the rotor ansiety of the British Patriot. In the Lucas we look in vain for that spirit which us•d In animste the , breasts of the friends to Iternren. The l'e►ry one linden seem impregnated with a phobcia against alorration or change of any kincl,huwe ttttt knots tetlg►dly bed soote of its institutions are found to be. The l'ap►rs, con. morally, only record long speeches about this or '''st usy of disposing of the Bank's paying in cash. They cannot, therefore, be called debates. It would halm seemed impossihle, from the nature of things, that discussion of so long continuasco on a gri.eance of so emulous an amoont could have taken place, without retorting to a reprobation of the csust Bat no—that might lead to rcvolutiono•y keep clear of that. Let no Noble Lord affo.d an opportunity for a collision of senticoont. As Ju.l.lt.'s ' says, " hard bodies sparkle in collision." A spook may kindles name in such combustible stuff as men's minds aro composed of at present, std therefore no (bat sod steel opposition. Esen Lord LAUDERDALE exerts a noticeable caution in these particulars. The Bank and the Government at this moment re semble two persons ts ho have a falling oat, a sort of cross-action between them. Till the suit is derided the bye-slanders moot speak oat fully. The Pub lie, however, who ere the puffy alone which has to complain, will not be beard in Gout, though it must pay the damage. To conclude, however, on this topic, it is quite plain that things are taking such a tern, flout if the distressed People look fur opponents to Ministers and their ruinous system io Parliament ; their eyes will not first he directed in their match for theca, to the noose of Peers. Extrievrtoo is now become aegraastingly fright. fol, since it seems a twitter of Stoic indifference to the Ministers, although it is multiplying daily. If this drain from the body of the empire is not missed, because it leaves its hulk apparently the same, )et is it of most material consequence in its health and vi talityoloceit is the arterial blood that is drawn from it. The very heart itself most languish by the lots. If it were only the idle and the profligate who left their unitive land, the strength, the sinews of trade and mansfact.nes go with these Emigrants, and edJ signer to a nation, If not inimical in the full extent of the word, at least is highly envious.—What tree Briton can reed the notice on America, its oar Sr4rEsst.ex of this day, and not cry out with indignation, " BETTER rut WHOLE ARISTOCRACY OT ENGLAND WERE AT TUE sorrow or Tilt Atlantic Ocean, then that so many DEROCRTIC ARTIEAMI SHOULD CROSS ITS suarus IC We received this morning the Paris Papers of Tuesday sod Wedge'slay lust. In the Chamber of Deputies on Monday, the Report from the Commis sion of Petitions concerning Ike Esiles, was discussed. The utmost interest appears to hive been netted by the orcssion. From 11 o'clock, all the places sects sitar to the Public were occupied; end a multitude, of distinguished persons crowded the corridors of the hall. %Viten M. tic Cotton, the Reporter, after having Rene through some previous unimportant matter, was shout to speak of the Petitions for the recall of the! Esiles, the most profound silence reigned through. nut the Assembly, and its whole attention was 6sed on him. The Commission was edema to the corgi. duration of the Petitions,which "sere 27 in nomber,and from the principal cities and towns of France. "The right of petition," said the Reporter, " is consecrated by the Charter, but resist it to be without limit and without rule? Shall it he allowed with im.! ;lenity to embrace every object sod brave every ob. made ? This tight mar established in order that every individual wronged, either in person or property, by! soy sct of primer, might cause his complaint to be heard, sod God protectors to obtain that justice for ! u his+ other u ise he might baveclaimed, perhaps in lain. But that men without character, without import ance, without 'sea personal motives, should arrogate to thernselves so speak, whether individually or col. lectis►ly, ill the noon of the nation, which neither knows nor acknowlrdos them, that they should thus tulip the initiative of measures electing the greatest interests of the Srate—is what we may well doubt that the Cheroor int•ntind to consecrate as a right. I say the► usurp she iuisiatise, and the expression is rigour. m assy tr u e. In reality the initiative consists in the right of proposing truis.ative measures which you are hound to deliberate upon, to approve or reject. It then a Petition, whose object is the enactment of some legislative messores imposes en you the Wigs. 'ion of receiving it and delib►rating on it ; what is Ithis right other than the Royal Prerogative to which ! alone, nevertheless, the Charter has exclusively re served the' • •ative!" The Commisalon, for these reasons, proposed that the Chamber should pans oo to the Order of the Day. M. CAL/MAI/TIN, M. I,A►AY[TT►, and M. BM' Coomoor, arose to speak. An attempt was made to prevent them, by rallimr for the Order of the thy. • CHAVTELIN IPACIRISPd, " It is impossible to judge if you soil tint testes to what is addressed to you." The PRISIDENT obtained a haring for M. CAI:. MARTIN. lie .poke in favour of the esiles—" If Frenchmen have been culpable, it belongs only to Fiance to administer justice upon them. Every in inference of foreign influence in the infliction of punishment hurts the Jedge even snore than the con. deemed. Now that we are erlieved from the burden of a t sinful occupation, we relion dist we have enemies neither within nor without let us do our defy by coon's'. nicating our happiness to all those who have any pretensions to enjoy it. Oblivion of the past is become a ditty since it cau be accompeoied by on danger. followed by au inconvenience." The KEEPti of the kw said, the Petitions Pi to have been formed on, one model, and to bare emanet►d from the same source. They prayed not only for the secal of the persons temporarily banish ed by the I,lw of 1?-th January, MG, hut an i I discriminate rival of every exile, even the regicides and the family of BONAPARTE. The Chamber knew with what generosity the Royal will was repressed. Bet when the Chambers bud derided, and their sled. ►ion had received the Royal sanction, there was no one ignorant that the fate of the regicides was for ever filled. It is essential to the Royal dignity, which is also the digssity of France, that this solemn lodg ment should not be revoked, that the King should never restore a country to the aysaysins of his wile tesbor. It is evident to all good Frenchmen that there is no welfare, no liberty for France without the Roonsoss—that the Charter is the foundation of the Throne, and that if it is necessary to the legiti. mate dynasty, that dynasty is mot the less siecessary to the Charier. _ Several Deputies in vain attempted to obtain a hearing in favour of the exiles ; she lirristerisl isto and Ultra-Royalists together premiumd any farther discussion, and the Chamber passed on In the Order of the Day. The debate on the Projet re specting the accounts during the last four year. was then resumed, and continued throughout Tuesday. Some 'toroth toss been generated by it, but the sub ject is too little interesting in Etiglaed to warrant us et:copying Der colonies with it at any length. M. De ConcuArs, Deputy from the Rhone, not having been able to deliver his sentiments in the Chamber, has published them. They contain some facts well worthy of perusal.
