JrORAIGN 1117 ELLIGENCE. PARIS PA Plll3. PARIS, JAIMARY 13, Yesterday after Mass. which the King heard in his apartments, his Majesty tranaseted business with his Minister of War. He subsequently pre sided at a Council of Ministers, at which neither M. De Cases nor M. De Serre appeared. The Seine was yesterday quite frozen, and seve ral persons walked *cross it between the Pont /Yes,/ sod the Pont des Arts. But as the ice was not very strong, gendarmes were placed on each quay, to prevent imprudent persons from exposing them selves to danger. While in Paris we suffer a cold severer than any which has taken place for twenty years, letters from Naples inform us that the temperature there is as Mild as in spring. Early in December there fell in the environs of Pi►a a great quantity of hail, ao companied with thunder and lightning. . Yesterday a report was circulated that the Cham bers would be prorogued until the month of June. This 1111,11111fe, if it be adopted, would turn to the advantage of the Revolution. Some articles of the Charter are in dispute. The liberal Journals, who silt eoliths giant solicited for the interests of their party changes which are now shoat to be inside in the Constitution for the interests of the Ministry, do not cease to affirm that the en tire Charter is menaced, dui all individual rights are compromised, and that the national good is in tinier. Such assertions, if continued, are suffi cient to convulse the kingdom ; the time then be longs to the revolutionists until the plea of the Ministers be known, and submitted to the Cham bers fin discussion. Is such circumstances traitors aloe would advise the Ring to gi►e three months to a party who only want eight days to overturn the tbisise.—(Gasette de France.) Wa are informed that Baron Potpie., who it was said snobs the shame of his colleagues to pre. met to the Chamber of Deputies the project rois ter. to the elections, hes been suddenly a►tackd by a violent cold in his chest, which will prevent him from speaking.

CARLIIRUHR, JANUARY 2. The damage done by the iuutailatiais last month appears to have been more considerable than was at first supposed. Many wishes on the Rhine base lost almost all their winter stock. We hear that nn intimation has been given to the merchants here to renounce connexion with the Society of the German Merchants and Manufactur ers. The report still prevails, that our Assembly of States *lll meet in April. SAXONY, JANUARY 4. We learn that our Assembly of States will be summoned before the summer of 1820, ■nd many wise measures have been prepared in silence for the improvement of the regulations respecting the Dirt. There is no occasion now to establish in Saxony a Censorship of the Press. _ The Leipzic Book Committee, and the regular Commissioners of Censorship in all towns where there are printing-of f ices. have long since secured us against every abuse of the Press. However, on the 25th of August last, a Rescript was issued en joioiag the Censors to pay the strictest attention to political and other journals by which dangerous principles might be spread, and especially to watch over the Iris, subsequently the prohibition was re newed against printing or selling at Leipzic anony mous writings—(Frankfort Papers, Jags. 9.) THE BRITISH PRESS. LONDON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 1 11, MO. The Paris Papers of Thursday arrived last morn ing, and those of Friday were received at • late hour last night. The Gazette de Frame, of the former day mentions • rumour, which it gays was prevalent in Paris, that the Legislative Chambers would be prorogued until June neat. but the other Journals are silent on the subject, and there is no further notice taken of it in that or any other Paper. There was a report at Vlenn. on the Ist inst. that the Duchess of PAIMA (late Empress of France) was dangerously ill. The Duke of CAMIRIDOS, we regret to God, was ill at Hanover for some days in the end of last month. His Royal Highness was nearly recovered oa the first haunt. The Five per Cent. Consols were— On Wedresday, 71 fr. 90 e Bank Adige., IASI& Therwavy, 71 fr. 70 e Bask Adios% 1,0116 fr. The proceedings during the present Sessions at the Old Bailey have been particularly distinguish ed by the numbers of unfortunate persons charged with the uttering of forged notes. Of these severel have been permitted to plead Guilty to the minor offence of having forged notes in their posoession, knowing them to be forged, whereby they escaped prosecution upon the capital charge; but 'event others have been prosecuted upon the capital charge, and convicted. One of these latter persons, previous to his trial, very pertinently asked why the indulgence of being permitted to plead guilty to the miner offence was not extended to all alike— and why he should be made the object of a capital prosecutiou, while others. more favoured, were-suf fered to atone for the same offence by transportation for fourteeu year. ? This question, we regret to soy, was not eatisfaetorily answered; and, indeed, to say the truth, we think it impossible took,* a fair distinction between the cases of any two indi 'ideals charged with the offence of uttering forged notes, which could entitle one to so great ao indul gence not extended to the ether. From the inten t* of the crimicels Moue can the comparative de. grees of their guilt be estimated, and the intention of committing • fraud is as clearly shims by the polio, of one forged note as by the passing of one hundred ; and if among the unfortunate per. sew arraigned at the bar of the Old Bailey, any one of them should seem, by the greeter *umber of the notes uttered, to be mere criminal than an other, it is because he had been permitted by dr. coostances to parses Ins career for a longer time than his fellows in guilt. It would indeed be most revolting to the feelings*, the nation to pursue all the criminals with the utmost meant, of the law. bet we think that nothing is so impolitic aa an appear aim of partiality in the admiaistration of justice; and although it is very probable that the distinc tions drown by the late authorities of the Bank are reminded on equity and humanity, it is certain that they are not made evident to the public eye. which leeks in vain for the motives that ialleence the several &chilies. There are meay persons in dicted far this seem* who do not ask the India genet of being permitted to plead is the litigant 1 Awe*, and whe wsrld iambs* mhos it. if of lad; but jestier, relief, and beasnity • am& to extend St to an that desire it, sine* the practice has arisen of greeds( it W some. We slicer* hope that oo time will be lost by the Beak in bringing into general use the lapin ous device that is proposed to he substituted for their present notes. which are so easily end excel. 'molly imitated. Experience has proved that no severity of punishment. however great, is sufficient to deter persons from braving its terrors. The im politic rigour of the law has in some degree defeat. ed its own object, and • practice originating, we are convinced. on the part of the Bank in feelings of the purest humanity. has been established in our Courts of Law, anomalous in its mature, and der°. gatory from one of the noblest prerogatives of the Crown; yet it is sanctioned from the same motives of humanity by the Judges, who no doubt are happy by any feasible means to escape from the cruel necessity of presiding at the trials and capital convictions of so many of their fellow-creatures. This difficulty will, we trust, be removed by the publication of the sew notes, and we hope that thereby not only will the retail trade of the country in future be conducted with greater security, but the interests of humanity will he secured from shocks so violent as those to which, under the pre. seat system. they are unfortunately too frequently exposed. An interesting meeting took place yesterday at the London Tavern of the Society for Educating and Clothing the Children of the Peer, • report of which i► given in another part of our Paper. The change in the weather, which commenced with the new moon, has improved since Sunday.— Yesterday there was a continuation of mild and gentle thew, which has happily succeeded to the intense fierceness of the atmosphere for some days past. Of the intenseness of the frost, some idea may be formed from the state of the ice in the metropolis and its vicinity. On the Serpentine River, in Hyde Park. it was three feet thick. At London Bridge there was an iceberg in the Thames upwards of 15 feet high. Friday a bill of indictment was preferred and found ■t the General Quarter Sessions at Wake. field against Joseph Mitchell, now or late of Leeds, fur seditious words spoken in a speech delivered by him ■t the Halifax Reform Meeting, in Oc tober last, The speech in which the expressions charged as seditious occurred, was that alluded to in the House of Commons, by Mr. WOSTLICY, when he informed the House, that the property of Earl FITZWILLUM and others had been marked out for partition by the Reformers. This prosecution, we understand. is not instituted by the Crown Lawyers. In the many other cases of sedition and blasphemy which have been tried. or are now in progress of trial, nothing can be found to shew the expediency or necessily of the new laws. The existing laws were perfectly adequate to their coercion ; and it must excite su►prise that they were not sooner enforced. If we may be allowed to judge from the following case of obedience to the hors in a district ranked sowoDg the disaffected parts of the country, the addition that has been made to our military force was or little called for as the addition to the Cri minal Code:— .4 On Wednesday Thomas Schokfield sod ✓oses Lister. blanket weavers. of Heckmondwike, were convicted at a Justice Meeting, held at Dewsbury, of an illegal combination to raise the price of wages, and were committed to York Castle, for the term of three soothe. As these persons were members of the Clothiers' Union, it was thought advisable to have military assistance at hand, to prevent a rescue, and a detachment of infantry and cavalry was marched from Leeds on Wednesday morning, to Shaw-Cross, within abort a mile of Dewsbury. After remaining there several hours, and eluding no demand for their services, they were marched back again. In the evening the Prisone►s were tent off to York, by the couch. attended by a single police officer, and though several thousand persons were collect e d together, and accompanied the coach with music, in a kind of triumphal procession, no interruption was thrown in the way to impede their departure; and the civil power arsoprotred to be perfectly ode. quote to the execution of its own processes without the aid of the military."
