It was observed that the centre was very thin. The business of the day began by M. Bazire making a report relative to the election of M. Durand, whom the Committee had returned us duly elected. la the midst of a debate on this sub ject, a noise was heard in one of the lobbies, and immedirely the State Messengers and Ushers made their appearance b:fore the new Mini-tern, who were introduced in u body, and with the usual cere mony.

The Altirquis de Clermont Tomierre was absent. This covelty interrupted the I),ot:cyclings of the Chamber for some time. The discos-ion then con tinued; the result of which, was the admission of M. Durand, the proposition for such admission be ing supported by the whole of the left side, • part of the centre, and a great 'wintryr of the Deputies on the right. A pet of the right opposed it. After some routine buoiness :he Reporter of one of the Committees moved, that s petition bliould be kid before the ['ruinlent of the Council of Mattis. Upon which several voices on the tight exclsiused, " Is them still u Presideat of the Couocil ?" Tu which several voices on the right replied— " No; there is no longer such a functitniary."— (Considerable noise.) M. de Floirae wade a report on the petition of the widow Lesurque, whose hustraiol teas executed iu 1706, though his innocence hid since beeti so lemuly recognized. The report was ordered to be priitted. The order of the d ty in immediate succession was the reirort of 51. de Vaulihnic, on the law project relative to the censorship of jaurosls. The re porter had been in readiness from the begint.ing to the sitting, and 51. de Sr. Aulaire and sev,tal Members of the left seemed already disposed to in scribe their names in support of the presumed con clusions of the Committee; but in the course of the debate, and after the arrival of the Ministers, it was spread about that the report would not be made. This rumour had already gained credit, when the President announced that the Keeper of the Seals was about to speak.—(A great sensation iu the Chamber, and then a profound silence.) M. de Peyrontiet, Keeper of the Seals, then spoke as follows:—"Gentlemen, the King having order ed us to prepare immediately a new law project as to the regulation (/a police) of the journals, pas also commanded us to lay before the Chamber the following Ordinaner."—( An almost autversal move. silent of sati.factimi.)

The Piesident then invited the first and fourth Committers to choose members instead of MINI. Vll iele and Corhiere. There being then no farther business before the Chamber, it broke up without any day being fixed for the next meeting. Notice of the day of meeting is to be sent to the houses of the Deputies. The Moniteur of Sunday contains Royal Ordi nances, announcing the following promotions : " The Count de Serre, the Marquis of Latour- Maubourg, Count Simeon, Baron Portal, to be Mi. nirters of State and Members of the Privy Council.

" This morning great changes were expected to appear its the different branches of Administration. The Prefect of Police at Paris, the Director of the Posts, the Director of the Customs, the Director of Police, the Director of Registra!ions, will all be changed. These changes will be followed by the appointment of new Prefects in many of the depart ments. A change of Mini•try in France infers a much more extensive change in all the departments of authority than in England. From the centrali zation of power at Paris, a shock in the Cabinet is felt through all the gradations of office down to the Mayor of a village. Directors, Receivers-General, Prefects, Police-agents, &c., are all subject to the impulse." CONSTANTINOPLE. NOVEMBER 10 . (EZTRACT OF ♦ PRIVATE LETTER The most perfect harmony 'prevails amongst the representatives of the European Courts at Constan tinople.

Several Russian cornier* have arrived lately in Germany. It is thought they are the bearers of important dispatches. MADRID, DECEMBER 3. M. Jauregni, the Political Chief of Cadiz, who has made common cause with its inhabitants, and who has refused to give up his command to the Bayou d'Andilla, has written s letter to the King, in which he dwells with earnestness upon the evils which will be entailed upon his Majesty and all Spain if the present Ministry be continued. He affirms that civil war will immediately break out if they be not removed from office, and that it would even now be raging in Cadiz, if the officers of the garrison had obeyed the orders recently sent down by Mulish:is. Ile concludes by assuring our Sove reign, that lie '• will persist iu his disobedience, so long as it shall be necessary to the maintenance of the public peace !" This letter has made a strong impression on the mind of the King. M. Jauregui is an ancient military man, of irreproachable cha racter, very much attached to the person of the Monarch, and generally esteemed. IRUN, DEcnblisza 7. (LXTRACT OP A PRIVATE LETTER) All the accounts which have this wonting arrived from the interior, but too unhappily confirm the fears el the sinind pin of the nation, that we are verging to a terrible catastrophe. The mass of federalists which has been formed in Andulits:a is strengthening in every quarter. We have just re ceived an Extraordinary Gazette of Corunnu; it announces that that province (Gellicis) is it) open insurrection against the King's Government. have compelled the Political Chief to diseontinue his intercourse with Ministers.—(Journal de l'aris.) CORUNNA, NOVEMBER 20. (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) On the letb instant an extrriorditiary courier from the Court arrived in this town. The Poli tical Chief, who received him, would not make known the contents of his dispatches to the people, assembled on the place of the Constitution, but it was soon Inowis that he was bearer of the dismissal of General Mins, and an order for his exile to Signenza. linivediattly the revolutionary partisans . headed by their orators, were in movement; the of the Political Chief was attacked, and he Was forced publicly to read the Court dis patches. What patticularly irritated the multitude wa., that an order had been given, that in case of resistance to the authority of the Political Chief, the armed force was to be empleyrd. It was not dacult to foresee the consequences of the weak , tie., of this functionary. Popular leaders, fol lowed li r militia men, arid a considerable number of the troops of the /ice, battened to the resalence 1.. 'Nos,S,‘ lees extensive? are the lives of the Rtaal Family more secure or lees valuable than at the period of the Duke de Ocean's deaths Upoo these several matters we do not profess to entertain any opinion ; but unless some changes have occurred in the internal condition of Frier', in the mural habits or the social principles of those who, whethe r as asaasains or as seditious writers, were lately the avowed objects of ultra-royal alarm, we do iiie see bow the present Ministers can reconcile their conduct with any ordinary notions of political eon sisteney. For our own parts we caimot coerces! the satisfaction we feel at the prospecL of seeing ow principle of a previous censorship filially alsen e !,,,.. ed ; but we must, at the same time, confess, that we can entertain but little respect for any public men who can change their sentenelas easily as their gloves, mul sacrifice them withie,t remorse or hesitation at the shrine of e paler miserable ambition. There can be little deulit that the removal of the censorship is the ptiye I by Ministers to conciliate the favour of the librr party in the Chamber of Deputies. It is a tint, because a tree, remark, that extremes have a tec dem,' to approximate; and, indeed, the prese:: union of parties in France would seem to illustrate the ohservation; but such an union cannot bang subsist, unless the Ultra-Royalists are disposed to purchase its continuance by repeated sacrifice., which must give to the auxiliary party all the ac tual power of the ostensible principal. It is intimated in private accounts from Pori, that the Ministers have withdrawn this project of law solely for the purpose of musing their friend , , but that they meals to substitute manlier project which will as effectually control the action of the public press. This, however, ;you'd be most cot:- teroptible juggling ; besides, it is quite evident from the proceedings in the Chamber of Deputies, that all the Members present considered the las,- eeeilitig as • total abandoninei:t of the law and its principle, and it is quite impossible thut bad the Ministers such an intention as is imputed to there, they would have suffered the opportunity to pass without giving some intimation of their future par. pose. It is probable, indeed, that a law merely of regulation will be proposed, but that power will be taken from the hands of the police, which, in such hands, paralyzes the liberty of the country. Nothing has yet transpired which can throw any light upon the probable resolution of the new Mi nisters respecting the foreign policy of their Cabi net. If faults have in their opinion been coin witted with regerd to the occupation of Italy by Austria, it may not be thought very easy or very prudent to remedy the evil by any sudden effi;rt of power ;, but there can be no doubt that the per. suasion of the present Ministers, of the Ultra- Royalists, and of the liberal party in France, is, that France has not since the restoration of the KINO taken a sufficiently prominent part in the political concerns of Europe, that she has suffered other Powers, such as Austria, Russia, and even Prussia, to assume a more active lead in controlling the destinies of the great European Commonwealth, and has thereby forfeited the influence to which a country so happily circumstanced in population, resources, and situation, is entitled. The 51i nisters will omit no opportunity of redeem ing, in this particular, the character and import ance of France ; they will assert the dignity of their country, and if they succeed in checking the insolent meddling of Russia and Austria in the affairs of oilier States, they will confer nn light advatitsge upon Europe in general. We do not periouely apprehend an immediate rupture betweta France and either of these Powers, but France is now in a condition to give such weight to her re monstrances, that neither Russia nor Austria would think it prudent to trifle with her displeasure.

CONSTANTINOPLE, NOVEMBER 10. (EXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE LETTER.) The dismissal of the Reis Effendi, Flamed Bey, was very sudden. On the night of the Bth he was conducted on board a vessel which was to remove him to Asia. Some persoes see in this a political pr vent. They pretend that it was this Minister who caused the rejection of the Russian ultimatum, and that his fall may be considered as a signal of • total change in the Ottoman policy. This change is supposed to have been promoted by Lord Strang ford, whe is said to have made the Porte sensible of the perilous situation in which, according to the opinion of some, she stood. Others assert that the dismissal of this Minister is not connected with politic., but is the effect of one of those personal quarrels which are very comtnon among the Turkish dignitaries. The motive alleged in the order is, indeed, that he had not performed his duty, but that is merely the linguage of office. The real cause of his dis grace is the serious difference which he lately had with the Grand Vizier, and which was occasioned by his haughty manners. His successor is a man of between thirty and forty years, who has been fur some time employed in the department for Foreign Affairs. He is well acquainted with the relations of the Porte with the other Courts of Europe. In this respect his nomination is agreeable to the diplomatic corps. It is known with certainty that the Austrian In ternuocio has received by a courier which Prince Metternich dispatched to him on the 14th of Octo ber, the very day of his departure for Hanover, very important orders, which have induced that Inter nuncio to demand a conference from the Reis Effendi. The interview had not taken place at the departure of the post, in consequence of the change which has taken place in the Ministry. The most perfect agreement prevails among the representatives of the European Courts et Constantinople. The Porte does not seem to attach much im portance to the difference with Persia. The Divan displays, at least, great coolness on this sabject. Every day there are reports of the taking of Bagdad, Erzerum, and even of Trebisoad, but these rumours obtain no confirmation. Constanti nople is tranquil. Preparations which are making render it probable that the fleet which is now in the Bosphorus will soon re-pass the Dardanelles, rein forced by several large ships which have been fitted for sea. The fleet has had no action with the Greek fleet. Wherever they came in sight, the insurgent ships avoided battle, in consequence of the inferiority of their calibre. All that the Euro pean Journals have reported relative to regular bat tles is completely false; and it is only through these Journals that accounts of battles have becn heard of here. The Greeks residing at Constantinople have no trace of any such affairs in their direct correspondence.—(Jou►aal des Debats of Satur day.) 'HE BRITT. S H PRESS. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1821. The Paris Papers of Sunday, which have arrived by express, contain some further official appoint mews, and such other regulations , as the new Mi. iristers think essential fur the security of their power. The sitting of the Chamber of Deputies on Saturday presented sonic circumstances of con siderable interest, the most important of which is the retraction, as we yesterday anticipated, of the law lately proposed for continuing the censorship of the press. This first measure of the new Mi nistry was annouuced by M. PEYRON N ET. the Keeper of the Seals, who presented to the Chamber an Ordinance of the KING, which briefly declared that the former project was withdrawn. The intel ligence was received by the various parties in the Chamber with strong expressions of their respective feelings, which skews that the point was not one of mere ministerial expediency, but one upon which public opinion is really very much divided. The censorship now in existence was established in con sequence of the murder of the D.tke de BERRI, who was at the awful moment loudly declared to have fallen a victim to the unbridled licentiousness of the press; and the Mitristers then in being, who were the same that have receto ty retired from office, were us loud!! censured for 11.1vorg suffered that centiousuess to acquire so formidable a front by their culpuD!e indifference. The loudest in that censure were the Ultra-Royalists, a l to now emu lously remove the restrAint which they so lately thought essential to the s4fety of the Royal Family and to the tranquillity of the country. Hove the circumstances of the country elturNed ? are the elemeuts of sedition less active ? is the character of the public press imerovcd, or its influvoce
