Courvoisier, read the Address of the Chamber to his Majesty. Madame de St. Morys, and Madame de Gaudy chard her daughter, had obtained from the Court of Premiere Insulate a judgment against M. Plefayr (Mayfair) editor of au English journal printed at Paris, under the title of " Galignani's Messenger." In gisiog an acconnt of the deplorable event winch deprived these ladies of a husband and of a father, Plasyr had allowed I elf to impeach the 'bravery of M. de St. Morys, and thus to sully his memory by an imputation of all others the most dreadful to a French officer. For this offence M. Plefayr had been sentenced to three months' imprisonment, a fine of 300 francs, and damages and costs to the amount of 10,000 francs more. Yesterday fits appeal was heard before the Coar Rojal, which confirmed the judgnivitt of the in ferior Court. On the days of the sti, and 9th inst. two shocks of an earthquake were experienced at Genoa. The second, which was the most violent, lasted fourteen seconds, and finished by a slight movement of oscillation from south to north. A remarkable in crease of water was at the satne time ob•ervrtt in the harbour. It is presumed that this earthquake was more violent towards the south, that is to say, in Sicily, or on the coast of Barbary. Leiters have been received from Madrid up to the !gib, which allay all uneasiness as to the state of Spain. The movements of some bands of rob hers and deserters in Andalusia had been over-rated. Court, so far from having lied, had been cele brating with great pump the anniversary of the birth of the Queen-1110111er. The accouchement of the gurru-Cutisort was daily expected. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. The following letter from Paris contains some re ports respecting changes in the French Ministry : " PARIS, DECFMIER 26. " The KING, at the close of the Council, on Wednesday evening, is reported to have used every effort to engage the Ministry to act with concord, but the views of the two parties at the head of af fairs were too divergent to admit of any understand ing. Incapable, therefore, of conformiug to the wilirts of his :MAJESTY, the whole Ministry, with the exception of tile Utl4! de Mote Lieu, offered their resignations, which were accepted at eight o'clock on Thursday evening. It was expected that the 3loniteur of Friday would have contained the nomination of the new Ministry, but (a circum stance almost unparalleled) it wa• perfectly silent on Ins MAJENTY'S choice, as well as on the cities trophe which all Paris knew had befallen the old Ministers. M. ROY said to his friends on Thurs day evening, I receive you not as n Minister, but enfumille,' and M. CAZES made nu secret of the event which had taken place. " I wrote you on Thursday evening that the ex change had risen to 64) ; It MIS quoted at this price at t h ree ~clock, which is the last hour of its legal business—but in the tirriere bourse, from three to LONDON, W EDNESDA Y. DECEMBER 30, ISIS. A private letter has been received from Paris, in which the writer very confidently affirms, that on Thursday evening last the whole of the French Ministers, with the exception of the Duke de RICHELIEU, had tendered the resignation of their places to the KING, and were permitted to with draw from the Cabinet. It is remarkable, how ever, that the Paris Papers of Friday last are alto gether silent upon the occurrence. which, if it really took place, must, we think, have been ge nerally known in Paris. or would at least have found its way to the newspaper off►ces, particularly as it is said that some of the reputed Ex-Ministers made no secret of their retreat. It is well known, how ever, that the Ministers who are now said to have resigned did not perfectly accord in their senti ments upon some important points, so that some changes have been very generally anticipated by the political intriguers and speculators in Paris. The divisions in the Cabinet have been a source of great uneasiness to the KING, who exerted himself to the utmost extent of his personal influence to prevent them. His exertions, however, have been opposed by two energetic parties in the State, who, though influenced by different principles of general policy, agreed in combating a Ministry which held a middle way between them. Should they succeed in. displacing the Duke de RICHELIEU and the mo derate party, we Gar their triumph sill bring no advantage to their mildly. Whether the Liberator or the Ultra-Ito) mhos assume the reins of Govern. meat, serious evils, thoot4ll of it nature dirt etly con trary, way he spinehetialerl, iiiilesm indeed the zeal of either party be tempered by the moderation al' four, it transpired - 4)st the ecbility of the try was still in jeopardy, and the funds fell l f. 75c. I subjoin a list of the new Ministry, which every one believes to be a correct one :-- Minister of the Interior M. CmER, Of War - General LAURISTON Of the Marine - M. de VILLELI Of the Great Seals M. SIMEON Of Finance - Count 31uLLtEte. "The Police Deportment is to be replaced by a direction us in 1814, and M. TOUR . NON is partied as its Chief. It will probably be under the jurisdtc tion of the Minister of the Interior. •' The most extraordinary rumours are afloat; some affirm that the KING intends dissolving the Lower Howe, others that the Deputies of the Chamber, named by the Krim infrouvubk of 1815. are to be reinstated in all their functions ; more moderate men maintain that the determination of his MAJESTY is to adjourn the Chamber fur four months, and in the mean time by an Ordinance to make a provisional Law of Elections, un►il a Cham ber composed in virtue of that Ordinance shall have modified or annulled the old one. The Deputies of the Independent and Liberal Party, aware of this, are revolved to oppose with all their vehemence the demand of 6.l2ths, which is to be discussed to-day, and to accord merely 1-12th, so that the subsidy must be granted atm,* vvvry month. The debates will be of the highest interest. " An extraordinary Moniteur was expected this morning, but none has appeared. The official ac count cutout be delayed beyond tomorrow. II 1)...9 " PARIS, Two a'Cloek, Saturday. " Since my letter of this morning I hasten to an nounce to you, that the public have as vtired the certainty that all the indirifluth to whom the Duke de RICHELIEU had offered appointments, and whose names I communicated to you this morning, have absolutely declined accepting these perilous func tions. M. de VILLELE insisted as a sine pra non nit the modification, or, in other words, the abolition of the Election and Recruiting Laws ; to this his MAJESTY gave a positive refusal. Messieurs CUVIER, SIMEON, and Mot.i.tus, have refused to share the responsibility of measures dictotrd by NIM. de VILLEI.F. and LAURISION. To those who have already sent in their resignations I have to add the mines of MM. RARENTE, VILLEMAINE, ROYER COLLARD, CAMILLE JOURDAN, de SERRE, CUISOT, &c. Thus the Duke de RICHELIEU, under whose auspices the new Ministry was to have been formed, finds himself singularly embarrassed at these unanimous refusals. •' Great and just apprehensions are entertained of the funds ; bets are offered that they will be down to 64 in less than it fortnight. " A bon mot of M. TALl.Eirsaisto is in circu lation on this state of affairs; he says it is the corn menceonnit de la fn. " D•" " Saturday Evening. " I embrace this opportunity of acquainting you, that hopes are still entertained, both by the Liberal l'ility anal by the Mini•terialists, that M. DE CAZES will be recalled to office by the Kirin, and that the resignation of M. LAIN will alone be final. " D." Extract of soother letter, of the tame date : " It i§ paid that TaLLEYttatto is to succeed the Duke Ds RICHEI.II:U." THE BRITI S II PRE S S. the KING, and the Srninos of Ow Legislative Climbers. It would appear from the " private letter." tat the Duke of RICHELIEU has found some difficuVy in forming a new administration—those individuals whoa► he nominated, and who are of the liberal, or, us we believe it might be called, the democratic rirty, declining to accept of office unless on the express condition of the immediate abrogation of the Election and Recruiting Laws. This part of the rumour is so absurd, that it throws discredit upon all that accompanies it. These laws, no matter how impolitic or unpopular they may be, were enacted by the Legislative Body, ■nd by the same power alone can they he repealed. It is absurd then to say that men, aware of this circumstance, had refused to enter into office, unless the KING were to hold out a promise of having these offensive laws removed, as if the KING alone hod the menns of stispendiog or altering their provisions; nor from the Addresses presented to the litNG by the Chambers, can we believe that the repeal of there laws is generally de sired by the respective Members. The Election Law is not even alluded to in either Address, and the Recruiting Law is indirectly approved of by the Peers, as a means of creating the army which they declare to be so necessary, while both the Peers and Deputies assert, that the provisions of the law have been rwreived in the several departments with ready submission and loyalty. It is vain, however, to speculate upon the probability of an event, which, perhaps, a few hours will satisfactorily determine. Yesterday bf-iog the day to which Parliament was prorogued by the Royal writ, there was a Meeting, pro forma, of both Houses, to hear the writ read for a f u rther prorogation, The Commis- Nioners on this occasion were, the LORD CHANCUL LOR, Lord Viscount MELYILLV, and Loud COMA SIDMOUTIL "I he Commons appeared at the bar of the !loose of Lords about a goarter past two. They were presented by Mr. DYsos, Mr. ItituaN, and several Officers of the House of Commons. The writ was reed proroguing the Parliament to the I4th day of January next, when both !louses are to meet for the d N oitch of business. The Com mons then witlidr, le, and the Lords immediately adjourned. We are happy to state, that the LORD CHAR. CEGLOR ill.prar.tl to Le pretty well recovered how the effects of his recent attack of the gout. Letter. from Vera Cruz, dated 7th October (by his Majesty's ship Larne, which touched at Jamaica and Hammel), and brings a large quantity of dol lars to the merchants). state, that a very large supply of specie was in that port ready for shipment, but none of his Majesty's ships of war had arrived for its conveyance to England. Dispatches have been received at the Colo. Mal and Admiralty Offices, brought by the sloop Larne, arrived at f.ymitigtogi from Jamaica and the Havanna)). They are said to relate to the proceed ings of the Snails American Patriots. The accounts from St. Petersburgh inform us, that the great demand there for gold and silver but hon is beginiiiirg to decrease : the Giirernment is willing to take the gold, hut having no longer the same prrs•ing occasion for it as formerly, will not agree to pay for it before July next, thus requiring a credit of more than six months; this condition is an effectual damp to speculations in bullion, which may therefore be expected to go in search of a bet ter market. The Dutch Government has imposed an addi tional duty on tte tonnage of all Fl L! lish vessels ar riving at their dale-runt ports: by the existing regu lation a curtain duty is paid by every vessel on her first entry for the SC4IIIOII, hot how many voyages an.. ever may be made, no additional impost is levied : by the new law the same ditty is to he paid every voyage, and, therefore, to ship. visitin4 the Dutch ports five or six times in the year, wilt prove a very heavy charge. Dutch vessels are, hoarrer, we be lieve, vahject already to duties of a similar nature iu our ports. The new arrangement is to commence and to be in force on the Ist of January next. The Mariner, Wit.scor, from London for the Havannah, is lot near that port—specie saved. It has been for some time under the consideration of Miiiisteis, whether it is not becnine absolutely necessary that too more Judges, in addition to the present number, should not be appointed. The very great increase of judicial proceedings of la:e years appears to render this twee-worry, particularly oil account of the pressure of liusini.ss on the North ern Circuit, and the increase of offences to be tried at the Old Bailey. We trust that it will be brought before Parliament, and that the rnea.iire will be coupled with a revi-iou of the Criminal Cede. Thi s is not one of the brooches of public ex pendit lire which ought to stand in the way of such au mug mentatimi, if proved to he necessary; for it is the well-known (goyim' of the people, that with the heavy load of business they have to go through, and the previous acquisltion of knowledge *leers sary to discharge the important Fa nctions, the ;:uisne Judges are not suffitirritly temutreralyd.

This bitter effusion, on his perusing it, was ob served to have a momentary effect Oli the nerves and countetimice of the illusirinus Manager. With an air of blended indignation and contempt, he lore it in pieces, and scattered the fragments about the Hall. The stanza, however, was impresed ou his memory, and subsequently repeated by him to some friends with an air of jocularity. A Correspondent observes, that this Enivam. said to have been written by Lmd EI.I.EN1301101'1:11, is only it Oigitiri:on from SILIKSPLA RE, iiipearA by the following extract : " Now fur our Irish wars We must supplant those ronzli, rilz.heailiil kerns: Whir- live like Ictiom, where no rl , lll Cihr, But only they, Lath privilege to live!"

GRAND MINISTVRiAL Id L. E TIA G. Ministers and their friends, anxious to get them selves in tune for the ensuing Session of Parliament, assisted at a Grand Musical Festival, which cock place on Thursday lest, at the clew's Harp AsseM bly-rooms, Regent's Park. Lo r d Cat—xe--a opened the concert with a solo one newly-invented violin, for Which he is said to have obtained a patent. The how, unlike that belonging to the ordinary instrument, is furnished with taco strings. His Lordship handled it with great dexterity. He next performed an air on the great keyed serpent, which astonished the amateurs. To prove the extent and versatility of his powers, he then favoured the assembly with " he Exile of Erin," on the UtitoN-pipes (invented by the cele. breed PITT, in Itloo, and perfected by his Lord ship in 1801). accompanied by the triarigl , s (au in strument, together with theflagellei, much used in Ireland in 1798), which he dexterously moved with his feet, and displayed so much execution, that Mr. Lus—c and sererii other friends to the pence and prosperity of Ireland, encored the per formance. His Lordship was tent st happy when he essayed a lrvlp air on the 11nrp of trio. The instrument upptaied to lie wholly out of tune— anti, in spite of his coo.ritstr, sent faith untie hot frightful diArords. A N Acnuns's hasp was not m o re difficult of management.

Mr. B—TII--ST and Lord S—DM—TII at tempted to entertain the company with a dun oti the buss-viol and buss-ooti. Their effort acted like a soporofic, and even the CH---1.1.—1t or the Ex—pu—n, who is so remarkable for his vivacity, fell asleep. The party were roused from their lethargy by the entrance of the POET-LAUREATE, whose self. praising trumpet pierced the ears of his auditors, till, in an agony, they called nut, "hold—enough!" He then performed an air from the play of " War 7Ykr," on the sackbut—and also " The Vicar if Bray," and " God save the King," with variations, on tie same instrument. The L—D AD--T 6 of sc —7 T. —n performed " There's lute Luck about the House," on the o !boo! The company, at the clove of each btrain, singing, a ith more force than elegance, "When Cos --h's area."

The performer, in consequence, flew into a violent passion, declaring that the I:lectors of Ennis were better judges of music than the persons with whom be then acted. His wrath was, however, mollified, on perceiving the CH.—EL—a of the Ex --QU—R and the G—v—a of the Bank of England about to fa vour the party with a few motes. Mr. CR—a—a attempted to play " Cease rude Boreas," on the Jew's-harp--but the oddity of hi• appearance, and the harsh touts of the instrument. excited strong marks of disapprobation. He re tired, saying, " Gentlemen, when I return from the East, you shall find me perfect in the use of the Chinese gong, and the Indian strurn-.tram."
