DE L EZARDI E RE'S amendment of the veond artic!e of the Law of Indemnity was resumed on Tuesday in the Chamber of Deputies. M. as LABOUR.. DONNA e supported the proposition in a speech delivered with great vehemence. Ile contended, that as it was less an object with the National Convention to fill the public treasury by the sale of the confiscated estates than to dis tribute them in small portions among the mass of the people, in order to create a new body of interests in support of the new order of things, the revolutionary valuations were in every instance much below the real worth of the property. Tile valuators were, besides, generally themselves pur chasers, or if not, in some mode they contrive to share in the spoil of the emigrants. In the departments where civil war had raged, the national archives have been wholly de stroyed: in these cases, how was the Government to pro ceed? As to the objection that the separated parcels could not be distinguished, he affirmed that every peasant in every commune could point out precisely the limits of every The Brussels Papers of lirednesday were received last night. Their contents relate entirely to domestic matters, and consist principally of the debates in the States General. The following is an abstract, sufficiently comprehensive, we dare say, for our readers : • SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES GENERAL. SITTING of Fra. 28. The ParSIDI:WT proposed to receive the notification of a 3les sage from the Firm Chamber, announcing that it hail adopted the project of Inw relative to the cessation of the legal currency of the French coin. I I M. DOT z NCB observed that they certainly could rot refuse to take notice of the passage which the President stated had actually been received from the }'trot Chamber; but it was notorious, he observed, that on the 13th January the deliberations in the First Chamber had led to a similar result. for the votes pea and con having been equal, it could not be affirmed that the law had been adopted, but that the legal consequence of this equal division of the votes was the rejecting of the law ; for the Constitution did nut allow either Chamber to change, by a subsequent &hate, the result, wha'ever it might be, of the first definitive deliberation. He made this observation, he said, that the present notification might not be made into a precedent. M. RETNIIINI was of opinion that the observation of M. Dotrenge ought to be entered in the peaces verbal. This was opposed by some Members, who thought the Chamber had nothing to do with public notoriety ; all that it could be sup posed to know was, the adoption of the project b y the First Chain ber. M. dc STASSAIIT said the preen verbal ought to record every important circumstance that occurs in the Sitting. A further discussion ensued, anti the President asked M. Dot. renge to withdraw his proposition, which he declined doing; but be said he would wait to see the pieces The Order of the Day was, the project of law for • rote of credit to his Maje•ty . to the amount of eight millions to repair the disasters caused by the inundations. The Ministers of the Interior and Fi nances. who were present, were loudly called for. 31. Vax A LPHAN drew a dreadful picture of the ravages of the inundation, which had reduced many thousand families to the utmost misery. It was necessary that the State should make great sacrifices to repair the fatal disasters of the 3d, 4th, and sth of this month. The 3lt NISTEI of the Isur n oa said he thought it superfluous to show the necessity of the project. The project was adopted unanimously.—Pment 81 Members Brussels Papers, March 2. An attempt, not wholly unsuccessful, was made yester day to depress South American Stock, by spreading pre tended doubts as to the correctness of the official news of the surrender of the Spanish forces in Peru. Last night we received from our Correspondent at Liverpool the fol lowing confirmation of the important intelligence which reached London on Wednesday, by the Lion, from Car thagena:— " LIVERPOOL, THVIIISDAY EVENING. "The Avpasis, which arrived here to-day from Carthagena, brought no mercantile letters, being chartered express by the A.me. rican Consul, who came over in her, and set off from Milford for London with otiicial despatches. Captain Brewer sailed on the 17th January, and reports that the news had reached Carthagena (by way of Chaves) that Csntarac and La Serna had thrown down their arms to Bolivar, and that the war in Peru was thus con. cluded. " A Colombian frigate and two merchantmen sailed at the same time with the Avesta to bring over the news to Great Britain. The army estimates were brought forward last night by Lord PALMERSTON in a speech so clear and satisfactory, that no Member of the House of Commons was prepared to object decidedly to the proposed augmentation of the army. Indeed we think no man can hesitate to concur with the Noble Lord, that " on a mature examination it will be found only fairly proportionate to the extent of our territory, and the greatness and variety of the interests it is our duty to protect." Sir It. WILSON, with a degree of candour highly honourable to him, admitted I the necessity of the increase, and gate his suffrage to the measure. Mr. HOBHOUSE manifested every disposition to find fault with it, while he could not help arguing in its favour. The interment of the Hon. F. ASHLEY Coorra, it is understood, will take place on Sunday next. Mr. Wools is permitted to remain at large, accompanied by a police attendant, to avoid the disgrace of being committed to the County Gaol: his trial will take place at the present Assizes for the county. Mr. LEITH, his second, has been for the present removed from Eton. We trust this painful *vela will not be permitted to pass without making its due impression on those who have the conduct of our great public Institutions for education in this country, in which the whole system of moral preparation is lamentably defective. If any poor were wanting of the shameful negligence which prevails in this respect, we have only to turn to the aflhetive catastrophe which has happened at ETON, and the disgraceful proceedings at ll*asow, which Consols were rather heavy yesterday. The money prices were 93j jl, and those for the account 93j 94 931. All South American Securities were in some measure de pressed. Colombian Bonds fell to 91j 92. Brazilian Scrip, 31 4 ; Mexican ditto, 31 j. Old Spanish Bonds were done at 2411 ; and New ditto, at 19j New Greek Scrip was from jto f ; and the Old Bonds were at 36j 7. That fertile source of fluctuations, the Pasco-Peruvians, were a good deal depressed ; they were at one time as low as 31 ; they afterwards recovered, and left off at 33j. The New Mexican Company's Shares varied considerably ; the last price quoted was 114. All the Shares connected with Ire land improved considerably, as did the Iron Shares of every description, which are thought very favourably of. The Rail-roads were all buoyant, particularly the London and Northern, which was a good deal sought after ; the Shares were done at Ij. . The Liverpool and Manchester may be quoted between 47 and 30. The Colonial Market was flat. Rum deolined Is. per gallon, in consequence of the reduction of die duty, which will not be equal to that which takes place on English spirits, as was fully ex pected by the West India interest, and as they understood was promised to them by the Coancellor of the Exchequer last year. Sugars and Coffees maintained their prices, but there was very little business doing in those articles ; they were principally bought in. In Spices there was nothing doing. ENG LISII MIMING ASIOCI•TION.—This is the last day for receiving tenders for shares in the English Mining As sociation. This Company has got possession of the Great St. George Mine, near St. Agnes. which in point of value is but little inferior to the Consolidated Mine, which is de cidedly superior to any other in Cornwall. The St. George is now in full operation, and working to a great profit. Mercantile letters from Aleppo contradict the report that hostilities had lately taken place between the Turks and Persians ; and state, on the contrary, that the negociations I respecting disputed points between these Powers had taken a favourable turn. We understand that, on the division on Sir F. Burdett's motion, on Wednesday night, five Members, who have hi therto voted against the claims of the Catholics, gave their support to the motion of the Hon. Baronet in their favour. On referring to the votes of the House of Commons for Thursday, we find that the petition presented by Mr. 1 Abercromby respecting the Leith Docks Bill was not from the magistrates of Edinburgh, but from the Convenery of Trade of Leith, against the Bill brought in for the purpose of authorising the magistrates of Edinburgh to transfer the Leith Wet Docks to a Joint Stock Company. Two petitions were likewise presented by Mr. Gladstone to the same effect ; the one from the Incorporation of the Mer chants and Traffickers of Leith, the other from the Incor poration of Mailmen. We find, from good authority, that the Committee for the Relief of the Sufferers by the dreadful Inundations in Hanover and its vicinity, relying on the liberality of the public, have already, with a laudable promptitude, re mitted upwards of 4,000!. for the use of the different Com mittees in the inundated districts, though the subscrip tions do not amount as yet to that sum. A Quarterly General Court of the Equitable Assurance Company was held on Thursday, at which the state of the annual accounts for the past year was laid before the Pro prietors. The cash account receipts (as well as we could collect them) were 220,997/. 10s. 4d. ; the disbursements 152,3151. 6s. leaving a balanze in hand on the annual cash account of 38,492/. 4s. 4d. The state of the Society's capital was as follows:-4,343,0001. in the Three per Cent. Consolidated Bank, and in the Reduced ditto 4,373,000/. making an amount of 8,918,0001. together with 430,000!. stock in the Four per Cent Consolidated Bank Annuities, and 990,2361. 3s. ld. cash laid out on mortager A wardmote of Vintry Ward was held yesterday morn ing, to receive the returns of the scrutiny demanded by Mr. Crook. There are 45 votes objected to in all, on the parts of Messrs. Crook, Dickens, and Garrett, the three lowest candidates on the poll. Only five or six of these were decided, and the wardmote was adjourned till Monday. Tot. " Never, Sir," said the excellent Arch bishop of Cambray to a Sovereign Prince, with whom he was one day conversing; "never, Sir, oblige your subjects to change their religion; no human power can force the impenetrable entrenchment of the freedom of thinking— violence can never convince men, it can only make them hypocrites. When Sovereigns interfere in matters of re ligion, instead of protecting it, they enslave it. Grant, then, to all men a civil toleration of religion ; not as if you approved of every difference in it as a matter of indlf. ferenoe, but as if you permitted every thing with patience which Goo permits; and as if you wished to conduct man kind into one opinion by leaving every man's reason un fettered, and every man's conscience free." Su tty.—He ay IV. one day put into the hands of this celebrated Minister the contract of marriage into which he had entered with Mademoiselle n' ENTS AGE es, who, after having read it. said, " Sire, will you promise me not to be angry ?" Hersey replied, " Yes, Sully, I promise you that I will not." Sully instantly tore the contract in pieces, saying, " Sire, 'hi, is the use you ought to make of it." " You are mad to behave in this manner." said Henry. " If I am, Sire," replied Sully, " I would fain be the only nonlntan in France. ' Last year the gold imported into the Mint amounted to the value of 4,00,0001, the gold coined to 4,065,075/. Dr. Antommarchi, in his " Last Days ofNapoleon," states that one of the Emperor's latest requests was, that the Doctor might preserve his heart in spirits of wine, and carry it to Parma to his dear Maria Louisa. The Doctor it seems, did as he was desired, but Sir Hudson Lowe corn pelled him to deposit the sacred bequest in the coffin at St. Helena. The Governor declared that he acted in confor mity with the orders he received. 1116 CH•NCELLORSH(r Or IRELAND.—II is confdently asserted in town this day that the warrant has been issued for the appointment of Mr. Plunkett to the Chancellorship, and that Mr. Spring Rice or Mr. Fratikland Lewis is to succeed Mr. Goulburn, as Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant.—Dublin Evening Post (g Tuesday. MR. O'CONNELL • LIVERYMAN or LONDON.---I have to announce to you a gratifying fact—a fact which speaks volumes—a fact which is pregnant with hope and comfort, that Mr. O'Connell has this day been made a Liveryman of London. I will not, with all my admiration for our leaders, limit it to a mark of distinction towards Mr. O'Connell. No, it is an evidence of the opinion of the City of London on the Catholic Question. At the ap proaching meeting of the Livery he will appear and speak. Mr. O'Connell is, it seems, a patten-maker.—Dublin Re g iste r. Ott Monday his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant held his first levee for the season at Dublin Cast!e. Notwith standing the many persons of distinction who were absent from the metropolis in consequence of the sitting of Par liament, and the near approach of the Assizes, the levee was very numerously attended, and the persons who paid their respects to the Noble Marquis comprised all the men of rank and station to he found in Dublin. His Excellency appeared to be entirely recovered front his late indisposition, and went through the fatigues of the day without incon venience. Amongst those who attended on this occasion was Mr. Hamilton Rowan, who was received most graciously by his Excellency. " A cause, which excited considerable mirth, was, on Thursday, tried in the Court of Common Pleas. A Mr. Erskine, a musical compose:, had been engaged by Mr. Morris, of the Hay market Theatre, to write some music for a piece in which Mr. Bullock's Laplanders were to sing, and his deer to dance. It hap pened, however, unfortunately. that the leading member of the in tended corps de ballet died—a circumstance muck to he regretted, as the music had parts especially adapted to the horns, and the idea of the Lapland exhibition was therefore abandoned. The plaintiff, however, having written the music, and not feelin,7, disposed to withhold front the world the Lapland melodies, which he had prepared for it, tendered it to the defendant. Mr. Morris. by whom it might have been ushered to the public, at the same time demanding Bank of England notes in exchange for those of the national melody-bank of Lapland. Mr. Morris, getting either too little value upon the one species of circulating medium, or too much upon the other, offered as compensation only a very small portion of what the plaintiff demanded, and hence arose an ap peal to the melodious feelings of a British Jury. The appeal was not in vain—they gave the plaintiff 801., leaving to Mr. Morris his music, and full liberty to reimburse his loss by its publication. SUTeIDE IN PARIS.—A tailor of the name of Cauvetz, a native of Antwerp, who had been residing in Paris since last March, having lost his property at a gaming-table last week, on 1111 return home at three o'clock in the afternoon, retired in a deli berate manner to his chamber, and having rung a bell, desired the servant to bring a strop to sharpen his razors, as they were out of weer. His wish being coniplied with, and after coolly preparing the instrument of destruction, he eat his throat in three different places, and threw the razor into the street ; the persons who were passing, taking it up and observing it covered with blood, gave the alarm, and the neighbours proceeding to the room of the wretched moo, _discotered him lying on the floor weltering in blood, and de prived of life. A fire broke out in the warehouse of Mr. Mallanger, rag and fleck merchant, id Great Auden-street, Whitechapel, about one o'clock yesterday morning, which destroyed the building and stock ; likewise the premises and stock of Mr. Schooling, iron monger. It also damaged the premises and stock of Mr. Coles. wor.hy, druggist. The building was formerly a sugar-baker's, awl belongs to Mr. Copt.

The valuation fixed by the project of law would give 'to one proprietor three-fourths of his pro perty, while another would not have a fortieth part. Ile denied that it could be called a taw either of equity or of policy. it word be in some measure a fresh spoliation of the emigrants, but no power could compel them to consent to an entire abdication of their rights. This law would deprive them of every thing, even of hope. It would, therefore, be a law of danger and exasperation, more dis astrous in its consequences than any that had preceded it. M. De Vittat.e, in reply, maintained that the system of valua tion, according to the project, would be more equal and just than that proposed in the amendment. However imper fect the calculations might be that were made at the period of confilcation, they would necessarily be more accurate than those founded on the present value of the estates, raised and lowered as they had been by the changes of the last thirty years. By the plan of the Government, too, less would be left to the pleasure of Boards of Commis sioners. If not absolutely the best of laws, the project was, he insisted, the best law possible. After some other speakers had been heard, amongst whom was M. DE LE` ZARDILER in defence of his amendment, it was divided into two parts; cne relative to the basis of the indemnity, and the other to the departmental Commissions; and each part was separately put to the vote and rejected by a small majority. Two other amendments, for appointing Commissioners to ascertain the value of the confiscated property in 1790, were afterwards considered and rejected. Some amendments yet remained to be discussed before the second article could be submitted to the decision of the Deputies. From all appearances, it is probable that the whole project will pass the Lower Chamber without any material alteration. In the Etude it is stated, from the Augsburg& Gazette. that a change has been made in the Turkish Ministry The difficulties of the Ottoman Government multiply daily, and the weight of its oppression renders it intolerable to all its wretched subjects. There is every symptom of an insurrection at Constantinople ; and, as if pushed on wards blindly by fate, the Divan are embroiling, themsel►es with the Russian Minister. Yet this is the Power which we are told is staking " preparations" to subdue the Greeks ! According to these Papers, the troubles of FERDINAND VII. are only beginning. On the one hand, we hear that the High Allies have formally declined to interfere in his quarrel with the trans-atlantic States ; and on the other, that the Island of Cubs has renounced his authority, and joined itself to Mexico. We suspect, however, that the latter fact is asserted somewhat prematurely: that it will ultimately occur there can be no doubt. r 1E NOT FUND9.—PARIS, itl Aactt 2.—Five per Cents. opened at 1051. 70c. ; rimed at Mt. 85c.; Bank Stock, 2045 f ; Neapo -1 litan 5 per Cent. 91. 30.; Spanish di:to, HI; Spanish Loan, 371; Exchange on London—one month, 2 3f.; flares ditto, 24f.

The subject furnishes more ample and more in teresting materials for reflection than can be touched upon within the columns of a newspaper. The Had Masters of these public Seminaries have much to answer for ; their culpable negligence has been long notorious, and it is full time that they adopted some less lax and culpable system than that by which they have so long brought dis credit on their pupils, and disgrace upon themselves. Those who are entrusted with the education of the highest classes of bur youth incur a deep responsibility by suffering them to practise with impunity all the worst vices by which the lowest are degraded. Preceptors stand in loco parentis, and they wrong both the parents and the public when they pay so little regard to the moral superintendence of their pupils, that their habits become depraved before their character is formed, and this from an utter disregard, on their part, of that prudential guardianship which the duty of their situation imposes, and which the very nature of it implies. What can be the cenuitution of an establishment in tended for public instruction of youth, in which a battle could be fought between two pupils, which should last for nearly two hours; in which one of the combatants, a child of so tender an age as frnriren, should be plied with spi rits, till, at last, disfigured with bruises and stupified with liquor, lie is carried away senseless, and within four hours is a corpse; and this without the head-master, the under masters, or any on in authority, knowing apparently,sny more of the matter, or taking any more concern in it thin if it had happened thirty miles off! Great blame, it is manifest, Must rest somewhere. The system must be radically baneful under which this could happen. 'We have no intention to sermonise. We know that in all public schools, young men horn to rank and wealth must, after reaching a certain period oflife, be left very much to the control of their own discretion. There is, perhaps, no good reason to be given for this; but it arises out of ciicumstances which it is not easy to control, and which, in a measure therefore, must be submitted to. But that boys that have been scarcely ten years breeched, should be in no better state of discipline at ETON than the late deplorable event proves them to be, is a matter of too deep an interest to be much longer overlooked. If the masters, both of E roN and Ilan sow, had not long been regardless of every interest but their own, the actual condition of these seminaries would not be what it is; we hope, now that cases so disreputable have made that condition so public, even their own interest may at length force upon them the neceasity of reforming it.

[From the Courrier Francais of Wednesday.] PARIS, hisacx 1. The Bordeaux Papers contain some news, which, if it be eon. firmed, will completely deprive Spain of all hope of recovering her colonies. We road in the Memorial Borkkis that the American frigate the United States, from St. Jago de Cuba, had arrived at Cadiz, where she landed fit officers and 109 non-commissioned offi cers and soldiers of the Spanish army. The lodicaleur de Bor deaux expresses itself more clearly as follows, under the date of Madrid, 17th February :—" It is said, and the news seems not to be without foundation. that the island of Cuba Ilse declared itself independent, and joined the Government of Mexico." We are far from guarantying the authenticity of this news, though there is nothing at all Improbable in it. In the present state of things, it is a result which must happen sooner or later. Letters from Lisbon, dated the 12th of February. state that the King has definitively accepted the resignation of M. Pinbeiro Pereira. and, ad interior, confided the portfolio of foreign affairs to you Miguel Antonio de Mello, the Actual Minister of Finance. It appears by these letters that the talents of 31.

I assure you, Gentlemen, I stand Up here not • forward and intrusive person to the exclusion of °there of my' brethren (many of whom are far better 9ualified fit* the office), but I present myself to you at their unanimous request, and becatrii: they have, one and all, declined the task. flo gentlemah ever heard me advocate the interests of this Itonitation et the expense of any other—no man ever heard me put forth exii.tgeserriff Prete . • sions, to the disparagement of more Useful, more learned, or more holy professions.

I as, and Come at once to the grave part of the chagetr-1 will take them in rotation. The first (which is much dwelt on) is thgt you met here end had a good dinner ! This weighty accusation I shah leave Mr. Cuff to answer. The next solemn charge is, gist you were very merry r how I am to rebut this, I confetti I antqlit 1 losi to guess; but if Gentlemen are of opinion that to laugh.je to sin. let us immediately vote my , brothers,.

An honest Vorkshireman (a shoemaker I be lieve lie was) called on me, and addressed me in the following words:—" Mt...Fawcett, Sir, I have a rest desire to dine with your The-at-VI-cal Fund, but I be coons to tell you, I went s:t near that Mr. Mathews."—" What has he done to °Wool y 96, Sir," says I. " O ff end me, Sir," says the Yorkshireman, with 1 sa me asperity, " offend nie,l why, Sir, I dined where he wets once last summer, and he made me shake my sides so, that all fir peas kept tumbling off the end of my knife." Gentlemen, after this digression, I must rival your minds to our enemy's charges against us : and baring disposed of what I consider the frivo:ous part of them, I come now to what I do consider of sonic imponance—important, inasmuch as it i calculated to to an irreparable Miney to this Institution, unless I Ain so fortunate as to disarm it of its sting. Tins heartless and anonymous enemy is pleased to say, " You anbsctibe to poor actors, when there ate many of the poor clergy wanting assistance -" and he asks, mist invidiously, " iYhether the performers on the stage. or the neio:s • ters of religion, have the highest claim to support ?" Gentlemer, had I, or any of say brethren, ever advanced pretensions so absurd. so reprehensible, or so ur.justitiable in their nature, as a preference in your benevolent consideration over the necessitous clergy, such a question might have been asked with all the malignity it was intended to ecnvey. But is it SO ?—Certainly not. My prayer has been, inn is, that after you have banqueted in all the luxury of charity to the more deserving, you will bestow on my poor brethren the crumbs that fall front your rich table. I have from my boyithest up to the present time always been in the habit of attending my church ditty, and the doctrines I have there intbibed have tatigU me that the:e is no moral turpitude, much leas any sin, in labour. ing to serve the poor of any class, of any profession, of may ceinia rnunity, end that I may well do so, without offending that Cloth which I have ever bowed to with teverencc and respect. So / very believe may you, Gentlemen, without trespassing uponttghet ditties, subscribe your suite to ch ose who are now in distresi, bee who (in their time) have contributed to the stock of your harm:Rye mirth, without injury to the funds of any other society, or delta gating from your characters as good men rend as good atheism+. I: is with great delight that I now tura to a more pleasing. part cf my duty—which is to render our thanks for the cheering state of our finances. Our annuitants this year hare not exceeded our:Peens of satisfying them ; and we have some hope of bine able to pay' all our pour claimants tic coming yeat without the heed necessity of reducing their scanty pittance, which moat be the cue whenever our expenditure exceeds our funded income; and this evil would have long since come upon us but for your liberality. The object of this Institution is to provide a small annuity fut those who have passed the greater part of their lives ott-the stage, but who, from age or infirmity, are obliged to retire front it without the means of subsistence. This is the cud we have in view ; area the prospect of grasping it is so satisfactory. that. with your smut. suer a few years longer, I have no doubt it will by awaited ;e-at present, it is r.ot. But still I cling to the belief Gem enthusirana can ever believe what it wishes) that I shall Brett, meet tots here, without having to draw on your purses for a single shilling, and for the sole purpose of celebrating the intleper.denee of this most use. ful, provident, and benevolent Institution.
