4 The public peace has been disterbed at Mimes goring merit cloys, which was sttribut►d to the pro. Position to modify the Law of Elections. On the 7th, a numerous assemblage was formed in front of the Theatre, where vociferation§ and me. pacing luggage was heard. The Authorities ea. &avowed to disperse the populace ; bet their efforts, donne a long time, were ineffecteal. The petroles, out to restore order, were Insulted and assailed with showers of stones. Various provocations took place in different quarters of the town, bat no per me was seriously wounded. Strict search is making is discover the authors of the tumult.—Lieutenant. General na Heroic. commanding the Military Di vision, arrived there with 500 military, which entire. fy re-established order. Of French news there is very little of Interest to 'peak of. The great questioe of the proposition of M. UARTHELEVIT, with respect to altering the Elec tions Law, engrosses all the conversation of the po litical part of the world ; and as to the other ports of It, you mutt be In France to know what °respires them. The greater part of the Emensh permanent residents of Francs are Socking to the beoutifiel and plentiful banks of the Loire, whams we receive those esquisite rich plums, which can only be sp. prozimated by those called mine•seers in England, and growing le perfection only i■ eve district of our region. So abundantly do our countrymen re. Dort to that neighbourhood, that the Tours Jeerers: advertises the sale and letting of houses and c►ateau In both the French and English languages. We know Mat Lawyer• eam wide eam Team words and melaminee am alley Orme." The lawyers could nor, however, twist our stub born iudepeodent Member fur Westusiester to their purpose in the debate of last sight. O► that we bad a score of suc► men to advocate the abused flights of the People in that Senate! Then might w• listen with advantage and delight, rather than with grief end disgast, to the long and tiresome debates, where more time is spent in devising the means of rescuing the game for Gentlemen's sports in the country, than in providing for the wants of a million of starving fellow-creeteres. We cannot express oar encreased admiration of the talents as well as integrity of this " second Daxscr.."— On all occasions has he proved himself to be the Champion of the oppressed ; on this recent one it is not generally considered of what importance is the object contended for. In sums tutors street riot the soldiers may be called out, and fire upon and wantonly kill many of the crowd. They mey be tried, condemned, and perdosed at the pleasure of the king, by the advice of his Ministers, because the uproar had a poldirel origin! !--The Needs of the murdered persons, therefore, are to have no appeal . This old low of Appeal had therefore a good sound peening, which eon modern onsoend lawyers pay no revert re. We more thin fear that while the in dependent BARONET has beets studying what might to be so families' to his opponents, sod which can ilea. give them the pretence to distin•tlon in their profes sion, viz the Lam of she land; Hues very Learn ed Gentlemen have b►en Mod) ing how to pia places, and how to keep in them till they are further pro moted. If we could indulge in a laugh on so RiniOng an aeration ea the waste of public money, it might he allowed es on the occasion of the vavt sees spent or at least charged, for snuff-bnass prevented to Fe- Ivan Ministers, aad in pallor; the bills of Foreign Princes at she lees on *he road, when they are view• ing the manefactoria of the kind. do—One heed ell pound's a-clay I I The lion. and Worthy Member for Cork Jidl all ►e could upon the occasion : be was oppos►d io the same 11 1 11DRer as Su FRANCIS BURDETT would have been, if the Baronet had not furnished himself with "dunning proofs of ancient writ." Pre cedent, precedent, is the Ministerial rationale for every extravagance and absurdity; and these any seder clerk itt any of the Government offices can furnish them with by dosses wh they are wanted, and whalsover be the occasion. We hope and trust that some patriotic Member, conveniently circumstanced for the greasier), will one day giro our SECRETARY of STATI as good a rebuff as 111 C ATTORWET.GIVERAL met with last night, either by proving that such pre tedents do not ' , list, or if they dn, that it is more ra• tional and beneficial to break throogh than to preserve them. They form a rampart of corruption into which all the sticklers for abuses take post as occasion re quires, and fire *lira) upon the People their hand grenade*, in the shape of snuff-boxes, with every other species of extravagance. We do mot, to be sure, hear of the charge for wtsip.cortl, but then the amount is wisely turned to some other object for fear of the retort net courteous. The Duaa's grant of 10,0001. a year for the es. pence of going to see the aged diseased Monarch his father, onderweet another annealing last night, and we must say in praise of his Royal Highness, that if say Prince could deserve the money, be does ; for he evinces OMe of the strongest talents for a restos, i. c. A► keeps to his intention of haring the grant, is firmly as the claw of a lobster would hold the tip of Jon. tongue wer► it these. The Ministers were wiser on this occasion than we ewer knew them to be; not a word did they say. It is a common *eying among the Ultra-Royalists of Paris. in speaking of tbp King :—" II a Aug L Montagu. a fund perdu," which we way trees lit., he has soak. the Monarchy es a Life. • STAItSMA To res EDITOR or rus SFATESM,VV. Ste,— I am greatly out of humour to see the cot. comical behaviour of our " Learned in the of last night. I say mica', because there may he aged is well as yorwr coxcombs. Now, if Sit F. Buisnext bad not had chapter sod verse in bis pocket to prove what be had advanced, those brow• beefing gesemen world have convinced the House that there never bad been a law which deprived the King of the power to pardon certain murderers! Then, when Mr. AtroantY.GelnßAL was com pletely silenced and set down, comes his second or boffle•ltolder, and gives an opinion (a grave one it was), that " no desist that law must have been repealed." Thais it is that oar modern Solon* prove their wisdom. I hope nor learned Member for Dorchester will profit by the advice of the pa- Weak Member for Westminster, and oat contradic► a Gentleman again without Wog sore he is right in so doing. Ile did not meet this Grins `ribber from so young a man, not professing to bee lawyer. He little thought the Baronet had so knack•down a proof in his pocket, where hid it not been. but only referred to from memory, Mr. ATTOUNET would no doubt have waisted in denying its existence. Per haps the reflecting Baronet expected something of the kind might happen, or bad remembered the fol lowing story : A Coonsel examined a witness in an overhearing way as to the distance he was from the defendant when (as he said) be saw him strike the plaintiff, he replied, " Just four yards and a half."—" Aye, why so ',golly that distance's"—" Because I rammed it."—" You did, and toilet for !"—'• Why, because I expected some pert prating prig of ■ Counsellor would ask me the qeestleis."—" Oh! I have done with you," replied the Barrister; " and I hope I have done for you," rejoined the witness.-1 - nnes, JOHN HULL. To Ter EDITOR or rot sTATESILIN. Fame rails rap (airway and rp;te.
