They state that the Royal Embroiderer detaching himself for a moment from the luxuries of his honey-moon, has ordered the immediate prepa ration of another expedition for the shores of South Amccisa, It is to consist of 6000 men, and we heartily wish it may have the same success as the last, which rotted in its native port. We have received the Paris Papers of Monday and Tuesday last. Their contents are unimportant. The King held a Levee on Sunday, at which his Mi nisters, the Ambassadors of Spain and Naples. Marshals Jourdan and Oudenot, Prince Talleymnd, the Duke of Richelieu, and several French Pee.ss and Deputies were present. The Committee of the Climber of Deputies appointed to prepare the Ad dress in answer to the Royal Speech met on Sunday and Monday, and were expected to finish their la bours on the latter evening. It appears that there is a great difference of opinion among the Mem bers, insomuch that it is expected that two drafts of an Address will be presented to the Secret Commit tee of the Chamber, the one expressive of the senti ments of the majority, by M. Ganibl ; the other of those of the minority by MM. Laine, Bourdea, Cardonnel, Ssc.—Wednesday last was the day on which it was said the Ministers were to submit to the Deputies the project of a law fir anielirating the Elections. This project originally consisted of 120 clauses which were subsequently reduced to 84. The intended alteration in the Election Law is considered a bold attempt of the Ministers. It will be stro•tgly opposed ; and some p.!rsons are of opi nion that it will dislodge them from their places, and produce such a coiinge u. will be perfectly con formable to the fet.ings and the wishes of the peo ple.

Hubimouse to Ncwgate, by the authority of the [louse of Cum mons. Sir Francis Burdett was in the Chair, sup ported by Mr DottJas Kitmaird, Mr. Bruce, and several of the leadsog Reformers in Westminster. A wiles of Resolutions was moved and adopted, and also an Address to Mr. Hobhouse, embodying► the spirit of the Resolutions. Air. Hunt was unfa vourably received when he presented himself to the Meeting. The room was quite crowded. Thistle wood and Waddington were present, The work of retrenchment, it is said, is about to be tarried into further effect in several of the offices under Government. According to report, however, it is principally to fall on the junior clerks. At the Victualling-office, 1.2 or 15 individuals of this description have received notice that their services will be dispensed with at the end of the present year, from wind' it may be inferred, that a great diminution in the public business bus taken place. None of these tintiirtunate clerks are, it is reported, to have any permanent allowance f,r past services, although some of them are reported as having been 8 and 9 years in their situations. A momentary sensation was created in the gallery of • the House of Commons on Thursday night, in consequence of a strung smell of fire in the House It was ascertained to proceed from the chimney of the lobby, which, apparently from extreme foulness, had take° fire.

The communication from the Court of Aldermen to the Court of Co tttt non Council upon the suhject of the request, that the Court would coutitermand their direc tions lur the prosecution of Aidermau Waithman and catain Liverymen was read. It protested against the resolutions emery(' into upon the subject of refusitig to pay the expenees of the prosecution, and q.itktt, that with whatever pleasure toe Court of Aldermen might agree with the Court of Common Council under miter circuinstatices, they must protest against die propositiou to withdraw the prosecution already commeticed.

It was to be hoped that a plan vrould be adopted tor putting an end to so disgraceful a prosecution. The motion was carried without a division. Air. Fate!l then moved, that in consequence of the commuoication from the Court of Aldermen, the Officers of the Court should be directed to assist the Co • tee . apitOinted to watch over the prosecution of Alderman Waithinati and certain Liverymen.

MR. lionnousi.—The following are the circuit!. stances attending the arrest of Mr. Hobhouse . :—. Mr. Hobhouse, with his friend Mr. IMichael Bruce, was at No. 1, New -street, Spring-gardens, about six o'clock on Monday evening, when a messenger of the House of Cominont, acting as Deputy !..;•',erjeant,. at-Arms, mad.• liis - appearance, and produced the Speaker's warrant as his authority tor taking Mr. H. into custody. Mr. l-lubhouse said he considered the warrant to be illegal; and that lie refused to obey the warrant. The messenger replied, that he had brought u force with him to execute the warrant, and the men were in the house. Mr. flobhouse desired him to carry back his refusal to the. Speaker but the messeng er said, he could not quit him. " Then (replied Mr. Ilobbouse) you must use your force, for I will submit to nothing else." Two other messengers soon after made their appearance, when the first messenger laying his band on Mr. H. mid, " You are my prisoner." Mr. Hobbouse then replied, " I must submit to force, but I protest against this illegal seisore, and desire you to inform the Speaker thereof." Mr. Hobbouse was imme diately taken to Newgate by two of the messengers in a hickuey-coach." TO PHYSICIANS AND PARENTS. in the superior aid of a Physician, confidence is not only reposed, but beneficial results anticipated. The following hint to medical Gentlemen--the extreme, dear-bought experience of fond Parents, is offered at a Caution without impeachment to say one More than one dose of a remedy should be °A dared in a prescription, that a repetition may, when proper, be resorted to where the expected results ate not produced in a given time; or, when that mode might be improper, or thought ineffectual, other means, or an alternative ought to be directed, parti cularly when so dangerous a complaint us indent inatiou in the bowels or sto2page of the intestine*. is remotely to be suspected ; because, the must in jurious effects may happen before the visit be repea ted. Without these precautions. in the absence of the Physician, confidence is misplaced, and hope in a superior skill proves fallacious. Added to this, where danger is apprehended the Parents should be sequainti.il with the expected operation of the medi cine uansinhoered, to judge whether the intent is effected, which if not produced, Own they would be prepared to auminister the other means before refer red to. I hid the foregoing been attended to, Emme, an atiectionate, placid, prumising child tor learning —the yinnigest of three son• and three daughters, might have been saved from the fatal etiects of an obstruction, known only to the attending which in a few hours terminated her existence by inflammation in the Bowels; for, the alternative when administered, produced the inihiediate effect desired—but too late—she expired, at the age of seven years, in the arms of a Lind motner, to the in expressible grief of her parents, sisters, brothers, and friends. Parents! can ye be too inquisitive into the expected operation of medicines? No ; for by being possessed of the intended etfiTts, ye may guard against their disappointment by edininistering an alternative. H. K.
