LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 29, 1824. • The French Papers of Friday contain the lengthened details of the first sitting of the new Chamber of Deputies on Thursday last, the 25th. Notwithstanding the return of a crowd of Royalists, the few individuals of the Cole eiseelir in the Hall made themselves heard, sod M. Giese din, Cassimir'Perrier, and General Foy, successively oc. copied the tribune, exposed the violent and unconstitu tional tneins resorted to throughout the departments to aeon* the return of the Royalist D:puties ; and the dis cussion, even on this first day, was in consequence troubled and stormy. The Chamber was engaged in the verification of the qualifications of the Deputies leturned. On the names of the Baron Dully and the Cantu Granout, elected iu the department of the Lower Alps, and their return being admitted, M. Cassimir Perrier called on the Reporter to declare aloud the number Itf electors for this deportment, and of the votes obtained ths presentlhpuths elected. M. Mechin stated, that e J sb a course was constantly adopted in the Chamber ; DM a number of voices from the mob of Royalists on the hen& s around negatived the proposition of Cassimir Per ,zier, and it was not in consequence adopted. After the all udes* of several Royalist Deputies bad been decided epos, the first name to which any opposition was made was this of General Foy. The Reporter of the First Bureau called for the adjournment of the question of admission into the Chamber of this distinguished Deputy, until the do uments slionlilhave been brought before the Eighth Bureau, charged with verifying the elections fur the department of the Seine. M. Meebin and Girardin spoke most strongly *Om this insidious proposition. The latter Deputy demanded that the necessary oath should be administered, am to enable him to address the Chamber. lie then de- Jima, he saw no reason fur adjourning the admission of .General Foy. Such a proposition, he added, was neither ;prat nor legal. The pipers in question were at the Bth Bureau. The Deputy required they should be furnished to the Reporter of the Ist Bureau, and that the General's slisetion should not be impeded by an adjournment without any just cause. The Reporter rose, and entered into an evasive and consecrated defence. He admitted that General Pay has always produced the, documents whiehittested his Laving paid the, senestonent required as an eligibility by - law, but that be bad not shewn that he hail paid for mote than a year his tpetsonel and moveable oosnribution. The First Bureau, the reporter added, had thought it its duty to refer to the Mb the examination of this question, and the reporting der result to the Chamber. General Pay himself then addressed the Chamber ; he had, on application to the. Minister of Finance, received, he said, a certificate for his contribution of 1828, as an equivalent for that of 1823, and though he bad not strictly paid his personal assessment, the certificate en armed his eligibility. : the enlightened Deputy sailed, that in!' conduct, however, towards him, was not common to s'.l the Ministers, fit sidle one of the Cabinet gave hint a: Paris the means of removing an unfounded difficulty, another Minister suffered him to be insulted by an obscure ' Preenreur du Roi." This last remark produced a strong feellug in the Chamber. The Minister Vdlele rose in reply to Gcueral Foy. 'f he personal and moveable.con cribution of military enesi was paid (he said) in two ways ; that of military men employed was discharged by a de duction made by the Military Paymaster of their division ; that of military tots not employed, or disposable, sr* ittserihed, like glow of other citizens in the roll of direct c ontributions. General Foy, while actively employed (the Minister idatd) had, through the Pay /collier, settled his personal contribution ; having been aftirrards made disposable, ' he ought to have been inessibed on the ordinary rolls. lie MI not (M. Vil /ale added) so ioseribrl and the omission the year after was only, known thrototh his own mention of it. Justice then required,' that his name should be put on these rolls, and the order was given aseordingly ; bet lbw of 1824 not being completed, a general order was given, by which it was desired that to those individuals not ilderibed on the roll of the past year, a document should be glean for their personal and moveable contribution for 1824. it was for the Chamber (the Minister coochuled by saying) to decide whether General Foy should be accounted as Whig paid his personal contrlhotions for a year, though he tad not really paid is 1821. As for myself, aided M. de :Valet', with greet humility, I shall pre:monism no opinion. After a discussion of some length, which was violent, and often personal, the propositions of the Reporter were put to the vote, and of course in such a Chamber passed by a large majority ; fitoothesadmission of General Foy stands over, and will ' * he ultimately de feated by the art of the French Milliliters, if possible. It wil: be recollected that this enlightened Deputy was re turned for three departments, ant! made his election for that of the Seine. The base and *hey shifts now resorted to, for the purpose of defeating his election altogether, on the specious ground of non-eligibility, are the best homage that can be rendered to the talents and independence of this intrepid and uncompromising representative. M. Girardin mentioned an instance of personal violence offered to an elector of the third College of IsCre, who, having refused to vole Fcretly, and placed his vote inscribed on a placard on the table, the President called in the gendarmerie, and had the elector removed by force. Laughter from the Royalists followed the mention of this disgraceful fact. The Chamber separated at half-past five on Thursday, and was to meet in their " Bureaux" at eleven the next day ; its composition and feeling are both now very apparent, and give full pr sage of what may be expected from such a body. The Monileur and Elude contain no intelligence of any importance ; the former has a long article on the po hey of the commutation of the French 5 per Cents. We give the fol:owing Bayonne letter of the 20th of March ; it speaks of the long-delayed amnesty u at length really expected, and that none will be excepted from its provisions but the first authors of the revolution in the Isle of Leon. It talks also of a late meeting at Madrid of the Foreign Ambassadors, and of their having agreed that a new government was necessary for Spain, mote liberal than that by which it is at present degraded : new changes in the Spanish Ministry are also arken of. The Marquis of Ahnenara, ' whom he merciful Ferdinand has restored to his titlespand dignities, is mentioned for the place of Minister 'of Finance, and Ofaril Campo fur that of War Minister. No Ministry, under such a bead *as French force basset up, can do any thing for wretched Spain. Under the abomi nable system that now desolates that country, the best-in tentioned efforts must be hopeless. BAYONNE, AIAIIICH 20. The letters from Madrid of the lish state, that the capital is tranquil. Accounts from Valencia say, that some individuals of the low class arc the tenor of the inhabitahts of that city ; they arrest and put into prison whoever they please; the Magistrates do not venture to say any thing against the persons who protect them. An Ordinance of the King commands the continuation of the Council of Grenada; which was began a hundred and fifty years ago. The friends of the system of absolute power are much dis satisfied with the Dente, which orders the impression of the depots of prisoners; they are afraid they may be deprived, In consequence, of some entploymenis. Their apprehensions are excited by the King'ii having restored to the Manion of Almenara Ida titles and dignities, and having received him at Court, where he had a long conferenerwith hint. It Is *sported that this Nobleman is going to be appointed 31iniater of Irmance, and that Ward ( a Mi. nister under Joseph), who is the only person capable of re-organis , ing the army, will also have a plate in the atlitainistraiion. It is also reported more positively. ti:at a declaration of his Ma. jetty will appear on the 19th, which will proclaim those only tc be guilty who caused the first cry of revolt in the Isle of Leon, and will acknowledge that the others only followed the impulse of cir cumstances which they could not possibly resist. It is further ru moured, that there has been a meeting of all the Foreign Ambas. outdoes, to give at length a solid Government to Spain. It is added, that at this meeting the question of Chambers and of a Chaney was brought forward, but nothing certain is known. Ambassadors, however, must have convinced themselves that Spain needs a firm Government, and that it cannot be established without wise insti tutions, in harmony with the ideas of the enlightened part of the nation; otherwise, whatever is done will be speedily undone by the weakness of the Liberals and the ambition of the Ultras. The Princess of the Peace has arrived at Bayonne. Iktatchtnents front the several regiments in Spain have arrived successively, for the purpose of raising recruits. German and Dutch Papers to the 2.5 th of March reached our office yesterday ; their contents are unimportant. The Turks arc said to be assembling in great numbers at Schiumla and Sophia, either for a new crusade against the IGreeks, or in apprehension of the protracted designs of Russia, who still keeps her forces cantoned in Bessarabia. The nubs of Witklen had been appointed Seraskier, and was in command of this tumultuary banditti : a fanatic crowd such as this would avail little against the ferocious hordes of Russia whatever. She may pour them into these rich provinces, and the Greeks are now beyond the power of the ruthless infidel. No effort the Turk can make can enslave the Mores or the Greek Isles again.

The attention of the Danish Chancery has been directed to a mall work called Short Emirs and Observations especially rela tive to the history of the Country, of the Middle Ages, and of the Christian Church," by Dr. Gustavus Lewis Baden, vol. ii. It was found that the Ordinance of 1799, relative to the freedom of the Press, was not observed in his work, though the author had already been punished for transgressing it. It was found that the contents deserved the attention of the Courts of Justice, on ac. count of various expressions upon some parts of the holy Strip tures, the creed of our Church, and the dogmas contained in it. The Chancery has therefore ordered the work to be seized, and an action to be brought against Dr. Baden and such person or persons as may be considered as guilty, in consequence of the above-men. •ioned ordinance. Proceedings will therefore be instituted against t'.e printer and publisher, that the tribunal may decide on their ease.

The state of Ireland dill continues hostitittlinid alarm ing. New riots, new murders, convictions, and executions, fill every column of the lrish papers. The Orange ban ditti still disturb the Nonb, while the demisting tithe aye- ' tem is yet In its worst activity, creating discontent and murders in the centre and south of Ireland. This lisle of . things cannot endure much longer, without convulsing that island from end to ern!. The tithe laws are the bane i of the peasantry ; they press upon them heavy as Egyptian exaction on the Israelites. They cannot maintain two I churches : it is too hard they shouhl have to pay the Pro testant Clergymen enormously for doing nothing, beside contributing to the support of their own Pastor too. The Tithe Bill of last Session has been rejected by two out of three of the assembled parishes in Ireland: it has failed in rendering any relief to the people at large: its only effect hes been to rouse the avarice and raise the incomes of the Clergy of that country, already enormously overpaid. Lord Kingston, on Thursday night, in the House of Lords, gave a striking picture of the effects of this Bill, and the abominable tithe system, as now prevailing in Ireland. Dr. Woodward, a Protestant Clergyman in the South, bad (Lord Kingston stated) let his tithes in Ibo 9, the period of war and high prices, for 1.6001. a year, and now he wants, under the new Bill, 2,0001. front the parish, as a moderute composition in these prosperow times, and the beneficent Minister was pros cling to re cover the ::ssessment he chose to impose, by all the legal horrors of the tithe code. The receiver-general of this worthy and disinterested clergyman, Lord Kingston stated to be a fellow of the name of Delany, a tithe-proctor, so rapacious and exacting, as to have acquired, through that I country generally, the name of " Cruel Delany." This is ; the man the meek and benevolent Dr. Woodward employed on his missions of mercy among the peasantry. It is in this way the unfortunate people are •seourged and plun dered by the agents of the tithe system. With such facts' as these before the public, who can wonder at the dreadful rtsultsithat so often and so eenerally follow ? In fact, the Bill of last Session seemed framed for the exclusive benefit of the clergy ; its'object appeared to be to give back to the church the tithe of grass-land, of which it had been de prived by the agistment law of the Irish Parliament. We I know that many of the Irish clergy viewed it in that light, and hailed its enactment as a restoration of church property. The landed proprietor and the grazier have been assessed heavily, to increase the overgrown incomes of the Clergy, without bringing the slightest relief to the impoverished and despairing peasant. The Established Church of Ire land has long been the richest in the world. Were not the revenues of this Church already sufficiently monstrous without adding to them by the repeal of the agistment law, which exempted grass lard? Tithes, at their first introduc tion into Ireland, probably formed only a just and reason able support for the clergy. The tithe, as collected thee, paid the Bishop, repaired the Church, and gave relief to the in digent, beside maintaining the incumbent. Yet how dif ferent was the state of that country then from what it is now. Its population was not one...seventh, nor was one twentieth of the land now employed in tillage or agricul ture then cultivated or grazed. In process of time the Clergy considerately got rid of all charges on their tithe ; they left the indigent to be maintained and the Church repaired by other means, and they took the entire produce , of the tithes to theensAves. The Church in Ireland, as here, rose, from being a humble teacher of the Gospel, to be a mighty power in the Stre. It is now enormously rich, and proportionably influential. At the period of the enactment of the agistment law, its revenues were very large, but they have been since fully doubled. The vast increase of population and of tillage has been the cause of this increase of income. In Ireland the Clergy are enor mously rich, and the vast majority of the people are as miserably poor ; the latter are heavily as sessed, without say return whatever, for nine-tenths of the Irish people are Catholics, and by them, who never enter a church, are the overgrown revenues of the Protestant clergy paid: hence may be traced the heart buntings, and the deep discontents that every where agitate the peasantry, and which never will subside while the tithing system last in that island. We do not wonder at the general indignation and rejections that followed the Relief Bill of last Session; an indignation that was at its height when it appeared "that to increase the already monstrous revenues cre the church was the main object of the Bill, and that though the landowners and gentry of Ireland were to make large sacrifices, the clergy on their part were to snake none, while the people were to obtain no substantial relief whatever. On the contrary, the latter were to be additionally burthened, and the whole gain and profit were to go into the pockets of the church. It was asked, and truly asked, where were the claims of the clergy to this increase? Why should the landed pro prietors snake large sacrifices, and the church make none? Why should the gentry of Ireland yield their lands to the gripe of the tithe proctor, and the impoverished peasantry re ceive no equivalent benefit whatever? The poverty of the fanners and agriculturists in Ireland is notorious. The wealth of the established church is just as well known ; the Bill of last Session assessed the ruined fanner, still further to enrich the church. Was this relief, or such legis lation as should have been dealt to Ireland? Or, with such a Bill as this before us, are we be surprised at the results that have followed? This Bill, with all its extensive and tedious machinery of vestries and commis sioners, has utterly failed in every good purpose, and must he repealml. Ireland never can, and never will be tranquil, until the. whole system of Tithe Laws is put an end to. No Government—no itupartialjnstice—no conciliation, can do anything without it. This code, oppressive as if framed by the Inquisition, is the curse of li-eland, and carries with it oppression and misery among the peasantry at large. To enrich an unworthy few, it spreads suffering and wretchedness among millions. The filet and the moat effective relief that can be given to the Irish people, is the complete repeal of this desolating and oppressive code. It is the parent, at once, of suffering and of crime; misery and murders both follow in its train. What benefits does the established church confer on Ireland, to compen sate for the infliction of such frightful evils? • Our space was so much pre-occupied en Sattirday, that we had no opportunity of observing; as welted intended, upon the letter tigned " A Non-Paorateroa," in our co lumns of the day before, upon our remarks on a late elec tion at the India House. In what we said upon that sub ject we had no bias of personal interest or of party feeling. If this writer chooses to call forth still further observations, be is welcome to all the service which those persons, whose confederacy he so promptly advocates, can possibly derive from them. We doubt much- the authenticity of his sip nature. If he is indeed netifrat, he belongs, we suspect, to an armed neatralily. He is pleased to say, that in some respects he dots not question the.propriety of our remarks.' Were he really "A Nun—PraariMar" we should demur to his competency, as a judge, to decide the question either way. Hut we will waive our plea to the jurisdiction, and go at once into the merits. "With regard to the combination of the houses of agony," says this Non-Proprietor, " I will allow, for argument's sake, that they may be highly dan gerous lb the interests nod welfare of the country ; but, on the othei hand, I thiuk.a eoanter-combination anion the executive body, for the purpose of overturning the out-door r; influence, equally prejudicial." Equally prejudicial ! to • I what ? This writer is well aware of the fact, that the I • combination we adverted to actually exists. Ile is loth, however, to make this concession unequivocally ; he there- Ifore admits it, jar argument'a alike. Well, accepting th e ; admission on his own terms, let us see how the argument stands. A combhation the bousee of agency is allowol Ito exist, that may he laklily dungerous to flu intrresh and I trellitre gr the company ; let us look at the rea cowrie/4,- - la counter-totatinotion, for the purpose of overturning this, he thinks, is cqu.tly pri:judieial. How can that be? eVhat process of logic is it that could bring us to such a conclu sion as this? If certain persons have formed themselves into a party to exclude the authority, or to over-rule the in fluence of the Court of Directors, their counter-combination to protect theinseives against the evil consequences is matter of self-defence ; it is justifiable oil every principle of ordi nary prudence. To say that the measure s by whi c h th ese ;dangerous consequences are counteracted are equally pee ; ..eudieed, is not intelligible ; it is not merely an error in logic, hues solecism in language. " In the present in- stance," we are told, " the houses of agency were exerting • • themselves to return a man of tried talent, " and that this I ,is some palliation ;" graidcd ; but th e very t erm pa ll i a - I !Sian implies that there is something bee in the scheme, and admits that the evil is wily lessened by the choice which : I the confederacy had made of the instrument through which it attempted to carry its purpose. This is, at best, but an !awkward defence ; but " the Directors," it is added, " in I opposing this, have procured the return of a man whose :, !pretensions or qualifications for the cffice no one seems to be acquainted with." As a Non- Prop, Oar, this gentle- 1, man talks quite at his ease. But, in supposing the Pro prictors to have elected Mr. Mu se me TT, without any reasons ; 'for their preference, is really taking more for granted than, as a disinterested spectator, he is entitled to do. In ; making this assertion, he must necessarily go much be i yond the full length of his knowledge. By the time he :gets a star to his name, he will p ro b a bly a d m i t ( s h ou ld hi s II candour keep pace with his opulence), that the paternal',' Government of our Asiatic empire is so much matter of routine, as to call for no very splendid pretensions in the I , Candidate for a vacancy ; and that the best and most use-, • ful qualifications for adinisaion into the great Protectorate of our Indian Commonwealth, are stern integrity and prac tical common sense ; all the rest lie may depend upon it is " leather and prunella !" Men of high intellectual cha- I racter no doubt throw a lustre round every association into , which they are engrafted ; and there is no deficiency,eliat we know of, in this respect, in the great body of Dim ton ; but there are few men, as far as mere fitness goes, that may not be trusted in the pursuit of their own in terest, as connected with the interests of the body to which they belong. We know not that Mr. TUCKER had any ; merits in this way, in which lie outshone the Candidate up on whom the nomination fell. 111 other respects, he perhaps 1 . stood not quite so high. We would touch this part of the sub ject tenderly; we have, in truth, no wish to touch upon it at all. As an expedient to defeat an opponent, we think the mode of attack rescrted to against Mr. Tees ea was base, illiberal, and unmanly : as such we reprobated it; and we shall again do so should it again be resorted to. In so do ing, we are not leis advocates, but the advocates of justice and fair dealing. It may be that lie may join in confession with Gte BLAS—" Jr nc me acntais two Ia conscience case nette pour etre contens dr moi." But if the Non-Pro prietor will permit us, we will—fet Mat pass. " East India Proprietors," he tells us, "are generally considered men of understanding ; but they have shewn that they are as much biassed by interest as the veriest pot-wabblers in existence." Indeed! What say the Members for Old Sarum to this? And is it the " houses of agency" that are to set the fashion of public spirit ? Are the supporters of • Mr. Tucker the only persons who are likely to drive away the evil spirit of corruption ? Or is it Mr. Tuck ca himself that will set his foot upon that dragon's neck, and revive the decayed spirit of patriotism in Leadenhall-street T We • fear they are much too sanguine, who expect this consum mation from any alliance, holy or unholy, or from any " heads of houses," royal or mercantile. The sanctifying influence even of the Imperial ALKIANDE II has shewn, that there is no virtue in a name ; and we doubt if even " the seal SIMON Puss" is much better fitted for the task of regeneration than any of one out of the million of professors that have gone before him. " If the Proprietors have any regard for their own cha racter," says the writer, who, net kin; one of them, it costs him nothing to reprobate---" if they base any de sire to retain the good opinion of the public, they will throw off these trammels and act as becomes them, free and unbiaesed." Why this is just what they are doing. They I are resolved to resist a combination of which the danger to their interests has been already felt, and from which much greater may be foreseen. Its adhereseent qualities can only be combated by a strong counter-union ; for this body is of the nature of a polypus ; if cut into two parts trans vercely, each of these parts becomes a complete polypus ; on the very day of the operation, the second part, which has no head, gets one; a mouth forms itself at the ante rior end, and shoots forth arms. The combination to which the Directors so firmly. and, as we think, so wisely and justifiably oppose themselves, possesses but too much of this reproductive power, and though cut asunder at the; last election, new arms arc sprouting out, and it is becom- ;1 ing again as sctive as ever in all its functions. The con- I elusion to be drawn from this is apparent, but as we may possibly be called upon again to make some further re-; marks upon it, we shall abstain for the present from en tering into any additional detail. • We are happy to find, by inquiries which we made last night, that the report of the death of Mr. Scarlett is un founded. The Learned Gentlisnan conducted a cause in the Assize Ceurt, at York, on Friday, and attended his professional dutici during the day, being very much re Covered from his late indisposition.

The non-official part contains, under the lvad of Fulmer', a very long article (three columns) the redemption of the $ p ay cents. and the reduction of ,he interest. The following are saws of a:: arguments employed in favour of the nwasure : as seas as the public funds are alley . e par, this fact alone is eritiivalent nos gim e not ice given to the flow( rn 'mot,' hat it may imininhatelrbovrow money at a lower rate of i.wererit than it pays its present creditors. s w i s notice cannot be neglected by an enlightened Government, law s duty it is to lessen, wherever it is possible. the burdens of those who contribute to pay the interest of the national debt. Thi s i s also the anode adopted by private pentane when their credit ini. proves. The Government has an additional motive for such a step. since it is notorious, that had not something of the kind been es. petted, even before it was fl3ally announced in the King's spe e d,. the rentes, which were at 104, would Le now at ku, and solid not have stopped there. Such a progressive rise above par soidd fetter the operations of the staking fund, since with a given sum would redeem a smaller stout of renter. and this excess would to I more to be regretted, as the State never received the 'link capnal for which it recognises Molls debtor.

The reporters of me diFerent bureaux propose the admission of a great number of D.:puties whose certiheatis are found regular, which is agreed to without any opposition. The admission of (lateral boy gives rise to the following dimes. .ion As to the election of General Foy in the arrondissement of R. Quentin, M. the Reporter declares it to be regular ; but he adds, ' that as he has not in hand the certificates of Gen.

M. lilechin-1 have the honour of observing to you, that Oda Foy has deposited his certificates at the nth bureaus, and that N. the R eporter has had an opportunity of perusing them. I imi st , therefore, on the immediate eilluimitm of Gem Foy. The right side cpposos the propuMion by continued murmurs, and cries of " No, ro, the adjounmient." M. de Oiranlin asce nts the tribune. Ido rot see, says he. why we should adjourn the adatission of Gen. Foy; documents which prove his age, and the amount of his cuntriWtions, are at the Rth bureau ; I request, lintels's, that M. the Repartee Mil peruse them, and report upon them immediately.

Darwin was opposed to Mr. Keratry, and cacied his election only by em voice ; therefore. if only one elector has illegally introduced boa. self into the Electoral College, it is not the ministerial card ens who has obtained the majority required by the law, but M.

The band-box was en dived away; the elector resisted ; gend'armei were called for, and the elector was empedgarf. The protestation has two otijects ; the first is to desiounee the fat just mt nipped, and the amid to complain for not having lasmihed electors upon the list who had a richt w it.
