'lli,. approach of the Session of the Chambers is infusing Lctis ity into the French peiticians, especially those who t.-Ave ranged themselves on the side of the Opposition. To sty the truth, if they were inclined to repose, the violent mea►ures pursued by the Ministry and the Jesuitical party would not leave them at leisure to enjoy it. One of the ob jets of attack with the ecclesiastical bigots is, the burial ground in the vicinity of Paris, well known under the deno mination of the Cemetery of the Pere Lachaise. A pamphlet l a:: been extensively and gratuitously distributed, styling it the " atheistical comet Ty." Every artifice is resorted to by tbe Jesuits to concentrate again, in the bands of the Amish Ciiterch, all the dangerous power jt formerly possessed. For this purpose, it is deemed necessary that the Priests abould have under their al solute control the places of se pelture ; and this pamphlet is an expedient to excite the ir:sfarken seal of the fanatical portion of the community, to regard with disgust and horror that public asylum of death in which almost every family in Paris has some member inter red. The ground of Pere Lachaise was bought by the Municipal Authorities, by whom the grants are rustl e to individuals for the reception of the mortal ye w:a:rig of their relatives. It is rather singular, that at the r^ry moment this ouirageons complaint is ra:sed against this cemetery, a sort of prospectus bas been issued in Landon fora similar institution, under the title of the Necro polis, or City of the Death. The disgusting inconveniences r ..xulting from the cramped space of the metropolitan church y iztls have long been felt and reAretted. Lord &row ELL, iu giving judgment en the case respecting the allowablenem of iron coffins, observed, that the church-yards in London arid not be made " commensurate to the demands of a large ▪ .t 1 inert using population: the period of decay and tlisso- I e:ion did not arrive fast enough, in the accustomed mode dLicsiting bodies in the earth, to evacuate the ground isssr the use of s Cl:t4 ding claimants." All considerations of eecency are, however. overborre by thc ecclesiastical agi tttme in France. Whether they succeed or not in re ►toring the unhealthy custom of burying the dead in the r,.•lst of the habitatit•ns of the lirivg, we shall be glad 1. id our aid towards abolishing the practice in this C.) 1 ltry. project for indemnifying the emigrants seems to become mere the olject of public attention as the period approaches for its dircunvion, and less the object of public approbation. The Abbe de PitALT is about to publish a work on this subject, under the title of " Fiance and Me .I!rnigranle." He decidedly opposes the principle of the irdtpinity. He contends that "it will be a contribution l•vieti on all the people of France fur the benefit of a few." 'Vita Courvier F'raecals gives a long extract front this forth enming pamphlet.

At this time, when the Goisierotir proceedings of the Roman Catholic leaders have done such irreparable injury to the cause they profess to advocate, it .may not be amiss 1 to recall to their recollection some of the pledges they gave in other days. It would have been well for them and the empire at large if they had kept better faith. The pros pects of Ireland were never clearer nor brighter, than when the ill-judged and indecent violence of the Catholic Asso ciation threw its baneful influence over them. The atter Lion of Government was peculiarly fixed on the intern al state of the country ; anti under the administration of else Marquis WELLESLEY, the Irish people had found all ill jurious distinctions abolished in the daily course of justit x••• Several important legislative measures hail been pass ed by Parliament for the improvement of their social a: ad political condition, and inquiries were in progress with a view to other changes more deeply affecting the ir future welfare. The feelings and intentions of the Bt i tials Government were no secret to the Irish people. They were avowed in every authentic shape, and 'pro nounced, in person, by the Kr Ka himself, to them, in their own land. Since his Mae eszv's visit, every &sego had been marked by some valuable concession, and the I about, of the Imperial l'adiament were latterly almost er.grossed by its provident care over the prosperity of Ireland. The Union was more firmly cemented by the gradual amalga mation of the countries in every political respect, excepting only in a few points, which it was ileemd, advisable to continue separated, chiefly out of deference to the national pride of Irishmen. When thus the Vanish Govern ment held out the hand of fellowslii p to the long neglected, and, we are willing to admit, the long-op , pressed, people of Ireland, was it to 'Has,: been expected that such a return would have ben made by them? Instead of seeing confidence asid satisfaction pervading all class:s, we find, on the cou'sary, a restless spirit of the most mischievous faetion directing their exertions to purpes..s wholly ..Injitstitiable. The Romish Priesthood have been allowed to mix tilemselves in the political ques tion of nliet, and they have accordingly, in the true . spirit of their church, taken the most prominent station. The Protestant worship has been attacked, and its profes sore scandalously insulted. The whole question seems to have char:ged its form, and to be now a contest purely between Protestant and Catholic ascendancy. If the leaders of the Cade:lies know anything of the general policy of the empire, they must know that the mainte nance of the Protestant interest in Ireland has always formed an essential part of the British system. Their assaults upon it, therefore, are not only entirely un necessary to d;e attainment of their just and lawful objects, but in the highest degree impolitic and ruinous to the sue cent of their cause. At one period it seemed as if they had unt:entood the course they should follow. The KING'S ever-memorable visit had apparently extinguished all evil, but unfortunately for Ireland, the snake was " scotch'd, not killed." To use their own glowing language, however, • t his Ai AI virry went amongst them: at his approach dis c( rd ceased, awl every prejudice tied." Fled? alas, how soon to return again ! "Your MAJesTr," they say, "has banished ferry Lad passion, and united six millions of a gra: t,/al people in a bond of brotherly lope to one another, and c f affectionate attachment to your MAJErry's person and Cirone." Looking at the passions now struggling for mastery in Ireland, and the sort of " brotherly love" which prevails there, it will hardly be believed that we are quoting a document unanimously agreed to by the political leaders of that country, very little more Man three years ago. Yet such is the almost incredible fact! We subjoin the whole of the document, not simply as a matter of ordinary curio sity, but as a serious lesson to those who are disposed to place much reliance on the profuse and empty declarations too frequently poured forth en public occasions. M'e have only to premise that the following Address is a copy of that which was presented to his 11f.t/Esry on leaving Dublin, by the LORD MAYOR and a deputation of gentlemen, amongst whom was Mr. O'CosNnt The learned gentleman's name was mentioned to the Kira specially by Lord Sionov err, and to hint was reserved the honour of delivering into his AlAr as r Y . 24 hands the laurel crown, to which allusion is made in the Address. We wish Mr. O'Cos ELL would now, in his privacy, read over the words of this document, and resolve, if he can, yet to make it the rule of his political conduct. What he may feel in reflecting on the contrast between this solemn pledge and the tenor of some of his late speeches, we know not, but we think he must be at least slightly em barrassed.

DEATH or SIR WII.Lt•Ill lA/MON.—This revered and worthy member for the county of Conwall brindled his last on Sunday afternoon, at his seat, Carelew, thus dosing his honourable life in the midst of peopl..? who have, for such a number of years, sent him as their representative to that assembly, of which lie was emphatically styled the " Father."

H. Clarence Dalrymple, of the ship Vansittart ; and Captain Thomas Ha viWde, of the ship Windsor ;—for Bombay and China. To the spirit anal enterprise of the merchants of Liver pool we have, for a length of time, been indebted for the earliest intelligence from the United States, and we must now look to the same quarter for the earliest news from the Southern Continent of America. The merchants of that port have commenced a line of regular packets to Jamaica, to sail the Ist and 16th of each month ; and as four vessels have sailed for that destination, we daily look for the first in return, which will probably bring meat important intel ligence from Colombia and Peru, thus securing to the port of Liverpool the first intelligence, and no doubt the great proportion of the trade with the Independent Governments of South America.

We regret to hear, by the arrival of a French Gentle man, that there arc a number of wrecks on the French shore, of vessels both of this country and France, and that many lives have been lost. The most extraordinary proof of the violence of the late tempest we have yet met with, is in the scattering of the ancient pile of heavy stone•, on Brent Dill, which, the reader will remember, overlooked the road and attracted the attention of strangers, between Brent and Ashburton.

PARIN rncx arz CuiRLSTOXIMIT. PARIS, DE:. 12. The nearer the meeting of the Cliailibers approaches, the more the Minister retires, as it were within himself, and moo ntrates all his force. Regarding with an anxious and suspicious eye the manoeuvres of his enemies; he yet maintains a profound silence with respect to the projects he intends to submit to the Chambers, lest, by making his plans known, be should furnish arms against himself. For some days past the Ministerial Journals, particularly the Journal de Paris, have ceased ton ply to the attacks of the opposition peas, and appear almost indifferent to pciiitics. This apparent repose is, however, lint a ruse dr guerre to hide the activity with which the Minister is making his preparations for the opening of the Session. M. de Fuse cs, in fact, is so completely occupied in this respect, that he no longer meddles in any way with the interior de tails of his office. This Ministry of finance is now ma naged by his son, who is one of the Judges of the Royal Court of Paris, and who knows as much of the science of jurisprudence as he does of that of finance. He has wisdom enough to suffer himself to be guided by an experienced or at least an aged clerk. The Minister's patronage is con fided to M. tie RENNEVILLE, his son-in-law, one of the most fanatical Jesuits de Tehr cowrie that the Order of Loyola could ever boast of having in its ranks. He it is who displaces the collectors and receivers of taxes in the departments, according to the reports which are forwarded to him by the jesuitical Committees, established in almost every part of the country. M. de PEIRONNET, who, as I mentioned to you in a former letter, some time age affected to appear so dejected before the Court of Caseation, now manifests great assur ance, and the utmost confidence in the duration of his power. The last time that he presided over the Court of Cassation (the 4th December) he was asked at the moment of leaving the chair when he expected again to preside, as there are still • number of causes to decide which have been long in suspense. Ile replied petulantly, that his time was at present so engrossed that he did not think he could preside at the Court of Caseation before the month of August next year. As to M. de CORD/EIS he cares less than his colleagues about Isis popularity, his credit at Court, or the duration of his power; lie continues to strike right and left, perfectly indifferent as to the consequences of his proceedings. Ile has ;closed to listen to any arrange ment for his n signation, and his obstinacy has succeded. M. de V 111.51 1., had, it is said, destined the Ministry of the Interior for M. de 211.)x r sionErscv, but as M. de Coast Eltt. would nut resign, M. de Vit. 'ALL was obliged to give up his design, and fairly tell M. de MONT MORENCY that he (ight not to hope for a seat in the Council. _Accordingly, when the Court went to Fontaine bleau, M. 11,. MONTMORENCY, who was to have been of the party, just at the moment lie was getting into his carriage, received an invitation to remain in Paris. The absurdities of M. SOITHENES de la RoeHEt•ac caetT, since he has been meddling with the opera and the theatres, have, it is understood, given much displeasure to his quondam tiiend, M. de CORNER/. AI. de l a Rocit tear: AuLT is certainly the greakit fool and coxcomb in Paris. Since lie has undertaken to dis Organize the oNra, he has sent away most of the artistes, and when any of these poor devils present their petitions to him, he amuses himself with crying over their calamities like a calr. This sorrowful personage is under the influence of Madame DECAYLA, with whom since the death of Loco XVIII. he bus liv:1;11 a manner by letters potent (patents). _ his difficult to conceive how the Ministers an reconcile the number of projeCt de loi, which they have prepared, with the duration of the Session. It is almost certain that the Chambers will not sit more than four months. It is understood that they will be dismissed at the end of April, as the KIN G has fixed upon the 31 of May for bis corona ti m at Rheims. It would appear that four months is a period hardly sufficient for the discussion of the Emigrant Indemnity and the Budget; and yet there are other laws the Minister would wish to have passed. The !loyalist Opposition, which, however, it must be confessed is very feeble, will spare no efforts to perplex the Ministry, and M. de LA rocurso,;NAvr flatters himself with success. The project of M.de VILLELE to control the Finances, will necessary alienate frem hint many Deputies who are attached to the present organization of the public offices: but this is a difficulty over which M. de VI xxete knows well how to triumph. Indeed, in the Chamber of Deputies the question of his power will nut be doubtful, it is amen; the Peers the Ministers have to dread the most serious opposition. If he can ensure a majority there, it is impossible to foresee when 1.. s ministry will terminate. The Charter will all but in name be abolished, sled the ac complishment of the hopes of France must be deferred till the accession of Louis XIX. COVENtr-GARbEN THEATRE. The opera of the Cabinet was performed at this theatre last evening, when Mr. Sinclair made his first appearance this season in the character of !'since Orlando. Ile seems to have paid a great deal of attention to the acting part of this character, and is consequently considerably improved in it since we saw hint last. Ile was also in very good voice, giving his songs with much effi•et. Ile introduced Stile:at sae,. if all . Anse endearing young churns:, from the Irish Wailes, which be sang particularly well, but we wish lie would not substitute words of his own for the exquisite language of the poet, which he did in this melody in two or three instances. lie was loudly applauded on his entrance, and he appears to be an established favourite. Miss Paton was exceedingly lively and happy as Fhwetta. Iler execution of the celebrated Polacca was exquisite, and called down an unanimous encore. En passant, the situa tion of this lady is becoming daily less equivocal, and her friends ought to take upon themselves the reconciling the contradictor y reports which have been cun c ut f or s o me time past relative to her marriage. She looked remarkably well, and played with much spirit. Durusct assumed the character of Illiinsicrlo, of which our old .avourite, Fawcett, was the original, and which be has always, till last night, continued to appropriate at Covent-garden. If he has entirely relinqui.hetl it, we are glad that he has found so good a substitute at. Durimt, as lie infused into the character all the mirth, vivacity, and impudence of which it is capable. Rayner was very good as l'eter ; it is a part in which there is very little to do, but his merit consisted in doing that little well. On the whole, the opera went off very well; but notwithstanding that it is 011'3 of the beat-cast pieces performed at Covent-garden, still we do not think that the Managers will find it ailvis ab!c to repeat it, as, judging front the appearance of the house last night, it will not add much to their treasury. In fact, this opera has nothing of an interesting character about it, and the sooner it is laid aside the better. We regretted last night to see so much good acting bestowed on so insignificant a piece. The farce of the Duel followed, which is one of the most humorous on the stage. THE PATRON ,INT OF IRELAND.
