Political tyranny and persecution are almost as busy in France, under the sway of the mild " Lewis the Well beloved," as they were at any period of the despotism of Louis MV., or his profligate grandson, whose reign was a compound of the most outrageous tyranny and disgusting debauchery. The Charter is now, in fact, a mere sound ing scroll; each successive Ministry has made new en croachments on it. More than nine years have passed since the wandering Bourbons were unexpectedly recalled, to the splendid throne of their ancestors, and the tolerant Louis granted to France a political Constitution ; and not a year has passed in which some new attempt has not been made on the Charter, until it is at length a mere thing of shreds and patches. Richelieu, Villele, Chateaubriand, all in succession have aimed their weapons at it:— " 'Twas here the well-beloved Brutus stabbed ; See what a rent the envious Cana made !" As the elections approach in France, the most unjusti fiable attempts are made on the personal liberty of the Opposition Deputies. M. Ktrchlin, the patriotic deputy for the Upper Rhine, has already been in a dungeon, confounded with felons, for four months, and he is now threatened with the same fate again. Eight months have passed away since this Deputy, with his col leagues, M. d'Argenson Bignon and the younger La Fayette, addressed a letter to their constituents on the memorable expulsion of the undaunted Manuel ; and for this letter, at such an interval, they are now summoned before a criminal tribunal. If, as the Cwt stitationnel well remarks, this letter can be construed to be reprehensible now, it surely must have been so when first written. Eight months have passed since this letter was circulated through France ; during a great part of the time these Deputies have sate in the Chamber ; and at the close of such an interval it is now tortured into' a criminal offence, notoriously to impede the patriotic deputies in their election. Whilo the Chamber sate,' not a sentence was uttered imputing any criminal iu tention of this sort, and the question is only now raised when the Deputies of the Upper Rhine are again about to appeal to their constituents, with the strongest chances of re-election. The object evidently must be to embarrass them by a prosecution. They cannot be rendered incom petent by any criminal proceeding that may be taken, but there may be a possibility of defeating their election by flinging a vexatious prosecution of this sort in their path.: The object for dissolving the Chambers seems to be to get rid both of the most violent Ultras and the leading mem bersof the left side, if possible, and thus procure a Cham ber which will be in a great degree passive in the bands of the present Ministry, and give no opposition to the policy by which France is now governed. One of the first notices given in the approaching Ses sion of Parliament will be, we trust, for the repeal of the Vagrant Act, and an inquiry into the conduct of the Ma gistracy. Mr. Flint's case, detailed in our paper some days since, will, we know, be brought by a distin guished Member before the House, and it cannot be made public without creating great and general indignation, . wherever it is beard of. On this most oppressive case, Mr. Cbetwynd, the author of the arbitrary Statute in question, displayed little of that impartiality and temper suited to a Magistrate and Legislator ; the detail of his conduct can conciliate few supporters, when the motion comes before the Cummons House. The Vagrant Act, forms one of the most arbitrary encroachments made on the liberty of the subject for many years ; it throws into' the hands of Magistrates the most extravagant and un constitutional powers—powers that appear to have been subsequently exercised, by Mr. Chetwynd himself, in the mast oppressive manner. In fact, the conduct of Magistrates in general has created, of late, loud and continual complaint ; were it not fur the control exercised by the public press, their tyranny would be unbearable. While the Judges of the land ex erase their high offices with moderation and for bearance, accusation alone is sufficient to call down the iron hand of the Magistrate, and entail on the indivi dual charged every sort of suffering. The Magistracy of Ireland bas hitherto been publicly denounced as degraded and corrupt ; but, from our own knowledge and expe rience, we can assert that their acts have not been 011 C half so arbitrary as those of the same class in this country. Such a case as that of Mr. Flint is un exampled in Ireland : Mere no Magistrate, or bench of Netgistrates, would think of any thing so monstrous as sending a respectable gentleman, for a mock riot, to a prison aid hard labour ; cut off from every comfort, and degraded by association with felons and a jail-dress. It' acts of this description can be perpetrated with impunity in England, no man whatever is safe ; private and public liberty equally become a nitre name—an empty sound, and no thing else. We do sincerely trust that this important question will meet the fullest and most serious attention in the coming Session of Parliament ; and that the Legis lature will, by salutary revision and enactmeuts, shield the people in general from the Magisterial tyranny, which we have seen exercised much too often of late, to the de gradation of the laws, and the serious injury and oppres sion of the subject. Letters received from Lisbon by the last packet, from highly respectable merchants there, state, in the NM po sitive terms, that a treaty, offensive and defensive, halt been signed between France and Portugal, in which the former Power agrees to assist Portugal in an attempt to re cover the Brar.tils, making it a condition that Portugal should apply to England for aid in the first instance, which it was well known would be refused. It is said that an expedition was fitting out, and that every ship of war in the Tagus was or& red to be in readiness immediately. It is also added, that the Conde de Palmella was coming to this country forthwith, to solicit the aid of the English Government in subjugating the Brazils, and if he does not succeed he will proceed immediately to the Continent, to try what he eau lo there. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCII - PA PERS. The Paris Journals of Monday, with the Etoile of Tne3- day's date, reached us yesterday by express : I From the Etuile of Tuesday.l MADEID, JAI:. 2. THE *MISTER OP WAR TO TOL CAPTAIN-GENERAL OP GIIF.NADA. I have rendered an account to our Lord the King of your despatch of the 19th of October, and three documents which accompany it ; the result of which is, that the Lieutenant of the King at tirenads has broken several of the officers attached to the ['Etat Major, tor having taken a part in the volunteer utilities. The English journals still speak with affectation of the Message of the President Ithe United States. We shall only answer them in a few words to all the radical nonsense about Europe. Suppos ing they make common cause with the United States, they have only to support them, nine sail of the line, thirteen frigates, and twenty-five thousand troops of the line. They write front Rome on the :19th December. that Cardinal Opinucey.Archbishop of Benevento, and labrizeio Rollo, are dan gerously ill. They state from St. Petersburgh, on the '..'Td December, that the marriage of the Grand Duke Michael with the Princess of Wirtemberg, took place on the 17th, and was solonnized accord ing to the Greek ritual. PAals, JANVAIT 11. The Ordinance respecting the pastoral letter of the Cardinal of Clennont-'fonnere, has appeared in the Alonittur ; a production which abounds with propositions contrary to the public right, to the laws of the kingdom, and to the prerogative and independence of the Crown, is merely suppressed. One of the principal reasons for the suppression depends on the form attune which the author has Oren the work, and thus the Cardinal is exposed merely to a nominal censure. It is impossible to conceive a more gentle sen tence applied to so important a case ; and one will be still more struck with it when he compares it with that which has been infiiotedl by the tribunals on the transgressions of the press, and with the punishments =WA to offences of a much lighter na ture; however, so tar front submitting with gratitude to an act which is less a punishment than a benevolent and paternal admoni- Men, the fanatic journals are enraged that the Secular Power should the right of passing judgment upon the writings of a Prince of the Church.

M. Portalis commenced. He made comments upon the pastoral letter, and demonstrated that it abounded with principles contrary to those of the public right, and the liberties of the Galilean church. M. Dudon defended the letter upon all points. The Keeper of the Seals supported the opinion of M. Portalis. 111. Allan expressed a wish that the Canlinal should be stun_ oned and heard. . The Keeper of the Seals opposed this proposition, which, when put to the vote, was lost by a large ntajonty. The proposition of M. Poetalis, for the suppression of the letter, was then put to the vote and adopted almost unanimously. There were but four dissenting voices, namely—those of :Views. Dudon, Delaveau, and Italainvilliers. 'rite fourth dissentient is not known. NORTII-WEST COAST OF AMERICA. LFrom the JourNal der Debuts of 31onday.) PANTS, JAN. 11. If it be true that • discussion is likely to arise between Russia, England. and the United States, relatively to the North-west coast of America, the following letter, in which some observations and illustrations are addressed to us, in reference to a note which we published upon one pass a ge in the Message of the President to ' Congress, may be of sonic interest. We shall follow it by some ob servations of our own : " Sin —ln adverting to some expressions in the Message of the' President of the United States, relating to the North-west coast of ' America, the English Cqurier has stated, somewhat doubtingly, indeed, that this coast was first explored by Captain Cook. You have rectified this error upon tolerably good grounds. It is certainly a fact, that before the voyage of Cook to the North-west coast, which did not take place until the year 1778, many Russian and English navigators had already visited it more than two cen turies before. 1 beliese it was Cabrillo, a Spanish navigator, who first visited it in 1543. " But you add, that England, as you believe, ceded, in 1709 all the claims resulting front prior discovery, if not in point of right, at least in point of fact, bl renouncing the project of forming an establishment at Nootka sound. This is not correct. " In 1799, England manifested tits Intention of forming *per manent establishment at Nootka Sound, where her subjects already carried on a considerable trade in tam &c. &c. Spain not only formally opposed herself to this project, but she seized all the Eng lish factories employed in the trade along that coast, and she erected a fortress at Nootka. The English Government, directed at that time by the celebrated Pitt, expressed strong resentment, fitted out huge armaments, and threatened to declare war vainst Spain, if she did not give satisfaction to England. "After many negotiations, which it wt.uld be too tedious to recapitulate here, the Cabinet of Madrid, baying abandoned all hope of being supported by France, who was then too much occu pied with her own troubles, and being in no condition to struggle single-handed with her powerful adversary, she was obliged en yield to the imperious law of necessity. On the kith of October, 1790, a Convention was concluded with England, by which all the points at issue were decided in favour of the latter Power. The first article of this Convention states, that' the buildings and dis tricts situated on the north-west coast of North America, or on the adjacent islands, of which the subjects of his Britannic Majesty had been depbsed towards the month of April, 1789, shall be re stored to his Britannic Majesty's said subjects, &c. &c. " The execution of this Convention experienced difficulties which were not finally arranged until the pfd of March, 1795. The Spanish fort was razed to the ground, the English flag was planted at Nootka as a sign of possession, and ever since, Great Britain has retained this important place, which secures her the fur trade of North America, and the fisheries of the South Sea. " I have the honour to be, &c. " D. L." The explanation given by M. I). L. exhibits without contradic tion, the exact truth with respect to the establishment on the isle of Noutka Sound, considered in itself; only it must be remarked that England has not kept the slightest garrison on that point. It was not till after 1816 that posts of fur hunters belonging to the United Companies of the North-West and Hudson Ray, after hav ing passed the Rock Mountains, established themselves upon a part of the continental coast, to which they have given the name of New Caledonia. The existence of these establishments was only known at London from the account of a vo7m I Anted in the United States. New Caledonia extends to the north of New Georgia, so named by Captain Vancouver, who made a map of it, and took possession of it in the name of England, in 1795. The United States, on their side, pretend, by the alquisiti on o f Louisiana, that they have obtained - rights to the f.mous ‘Veat river, explored by the French, and named by the Americans Co lombia. They have explored the course of it with much success, and they keep up military posts at the mouth and on some utile? pointa. • . . . . . - The course•of the river has this particularity in it, that it is formed of -two great rivers, one from the no , :h, which unites almost all the waters of New Caledonia, and the other, flowing from the south. receives many r i ven , coining from New California;l so that the basin of the Colombia, very narrow on the maritime cant, takes on immense developement in the interior. This dis trict of ()regain, which the I 'nited States consider as their property, menaces at the same time both the Spanish and English frontiers. third nation has advanced into these uncultivated countries. The Russians have formed, in one of the isles ii3Ojacent to New Ca ledonia, the establishment of Stika, or New Archangel ; they have treated as subjects theoinsular Indians to the Slat degree of lati tude, and passing before Nootka Sound and the mouth of the Co lombia, they have established a permanent post at Ikalega, at 30 degrees, in California. There has therefore been confusion between all these at eopations. But, dismissing fora moment the Russians, the English, and the United States, we ask when and hens the King of Spain has re nounced his ancient rights to the whole of the recasts, front the :Stith degree north, as far as California. coasts discovered and tepeatedly visited by Spanish navigators in 1543 in 1588, in 15 i42, and in 1771?

After mass the King gave a private audience to the Princes Carignan, Talleyrand, Marshals, Peers, &c. and also to the nun cio ambassadors of Spain and Naples.

This !expectable citizen is brought before the 31agistrate, with his ancient colleagues, for the letter addressed to their consti tuents eight months since. If this letter be blamable now* was so then: why was it not then prosecuted ? A document containing pernicious matter cannot be too soon suppressed and punished, both for the purpose of pre venting its circulation, and serving as a warning to others who may be disposed to express similar sentiments. Por eight months authority was silent, for eight months the letter circulated tlirou4h France; and this silence made many citizers think that the letter contained only sentiments conformable to the Charter, and to the essence of a representative Government. Hower v, the (*handier separated, and the !deputies who signed the letter were not pursued, they were still I)rputies,!and this rank nu doubt terrified the possessors of power. It was not till there . ` k I FASHIONABLE INTELLIOENCIL 'was a question eff the dissolution that tile Alta/Iler-General *P irated with his reserves against the signing Deputies: and it was not till the Chamber was actually dissolved that the CA-Deputies have been brought before the Magistrate. The public conclude that the prosecutions have been manageil to influence the elections and that a calculation R&M& to have been made fur having the olii Deputies brought before the Correctional Police, on the very day when the Electoral Colleges were opened. If this melancholy combination were really true, all suspicion should be removed from the organs of justice. These tribunals are too far above our passions to lend them selves to such machinations; it is the tigents of Ministers who nianage these prosecutions, sad who choose the period for carrying them on. But what proves, in an unequivocal manner, that these prose cutions are the effect of a concerted plan is, that at the moment when the old Deputies of the I!pper Rhine were dragged before the Judge, for a letter written eight months before—at that very moment Ilene's! Lapuype, an Es-Deputy of die Rhine, is put on his trial for a pretended circulation of seditious writings, about the same period. Thus an affair is awakened, which after so long a silence was considered to be abandoned for ever.

HIGH TREASON. COURT OF A3gIn7ARIS, JAW. 12. To-morrow the Court will be occupied with the investigation of two grave and important charges. We will state some of the facts relative to each of the causes. . . . -.- The second affair which will occupy the Court after that of the attempt at murder, refers to those criminal etrurts which were made at the commencement of the Spanish war (by Frenchmen unworthy of the name) to support in the Peninsula the cause of all the Re volutionists of all countries. The charge comprehends seven per 1011a-ail men and one female, the latter as being implicated and not discovering what she knew. In 1021, one of the accused, Sanquaire-Souligne, was tried for plotting against the State, and acquitted : but the only effect this acquittal had upon him was, to inspire bim with an implacable ha tred to the Government, with the desire of fabricating new con spiracies.

Great preparations are making at Pansanger, liens, the seat Of Earl and Countess Cowper, for a grand ball and supper on Monday next ; numerous fashionables from town have received invitations, as well as most of the neighbour ing nobility and gentry. The Rev. Thomas Brown, of Tongland, is mentioned as likely to be the successor of Dr. Chalmers, in St. John's Church, Glasgow.—Culedonian Mercury. Monday, the third of a series of Winter Balls was held at the Gteen Man, Blackheath. The room was crowded with the beauty and fashion of that distinguished neigh bourhood. CaptiCti Parry was present, and joined in the merry dance, which was kept up with great vivacity till a late hour. It will he seen, in reference to the representation of Caithness, that Ministers are determined to keep their ad herents very close by the head, and will not allow ge neral devotion to excuse occasional defeetion.—Glasgsic Chronicle. After a violent diatribe against the Bourbons, and most insulting remarks upon the preparations against Spain, he adds—" We have been as if nurtural in glory ; the Bourbons have cast it down and dishonoured it. %Vary is determined upon ; this has been effected by the atrocious solicitations, by the unhallowed supplications of the Bourbons. We have no longer any measures to keep with than ; they have conceived the hope of destroying us. lay the wretches perish ! A hatred of the people—s thirst of massacre, to the danger of which they do not exposer themselves—foreign and do mestic war, corruption, treachery, murder, proscription, extrava gance, cold-blooded atrocities--these emanate from the Bourbons; these are the results of their projects, the end of all their efforts. Clod has vomited them in his wrath, for the purpose of meriting, each day of their existence, already too protractei, the execration of their contemporaries, and the brand of history. Regal monsters! ,you have ever wished for war, even to death. We accept your offer: hell has vomited you again upon us, and we will cast you back Into its bosom." An infamous comp arison between Napoleon and the King end s with these words:— Spaniards! listen to my voice. Sidra the enemy to advance. (live him a great extent of country to plunder ; he will weaken by sprmithag hiniestlit he will become vulner a ble on a great number of points; the sacred land of Iberia will be hit grave; and the vespers of Spain will cause those of Sicily to be forgotten." It was by writings like these he excited and encouraged the external enemies at France, whilst he endeavoured to support the internal enemies by corrupting the troops. NVhen he imagined all was in readiness, lie lett France, and repaired to Lisbon, where he made his appeals to all the supporters of revolutions, and to the French refugees in England. And on the 1731 of November, 11th!, lie writes thus to thauvet, one of the accused:—" I am in the free land of the Peninsula, where I have as many and as powerful friends as the Governors themselves. The only edict of my second proscription has been to hasten my departure, with that or my intimate friind, the Ambassador of Portugal." On the 4th of October he wrote to the same person :—" I would ask you, if you wish to ally yourself to those destinies, which in all probability will become great, and the subject for history ? I re. peat, this day, my tint demand, and I add, that I am here in the vain of • patriotic congress. The diplomatic representative is re ceived anti acknowledged by the Ambassador (witness of all) of France free, or who wishes to become so. I have conic abroad to put the last hand to that which I have already done at home. I am the bearer of treaties, proposed and already . assented to. I want near me a man indefatigable and unwearied : you ate that man. Above all things, I ant able to assure you of an honeurable reception in the Peninsula. This appeal had the wished eflect. The French refugees assem bled at his voice; the cause (sacred in their eyes) of insurrection and revolt ii tissues their :cal ; they anticipate in Spain that success which they could not obtain in France; t he y leave England; they fly to j lie enemies if their country, and to unite themselves with hint who, from the extremity of Portugal, has foretold the triumphs of revolution. _ . _ An affair of honour took place on Monday, at Kilcrea, between Mr. ll—r—y and Mr. H—b—n. The parties exchanged shots; that of the latter lodged in the collar of the coat of the former, without injury, when the affair ter minated to the satisfaction of all parties. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when the following Captains were sworn into the command of their respective ships. viz.—Captain Charles Mangles, of the Marchioness of Ely, for Madras and Bengal; and Captain Henry Homan, Prince Regent, for Bengal direct.

His only aim was retirement, that he might rest in the arms of the sciences. It must have been a most extraordinary spec tacle to ace a Turkish philosopher abdicate the crown. This Prince resigned it twice, and twice he was prevailed upon by his Bashaws and Janissaries to resutu:• it. There are many other documents of a similar description. Sunligne will be tried for having raised arms against France ; the others for being actxmtplices, and plotting with him, and also fur bearing arms against France ; the woman Chauvet for being an accomplice, and for not revealing to the authorities what she knew.
