EitohNixtt rota.] DiaIiOLUTION OR TEE FiIiENCH CIIAMBER.—An Extraordinary Express brought us last ►night the off" the day before, containing the long expected and long delayed Ordinance by which the Chamber of .wpiities is diSsolved, and the Ele&orial ,Colleges are convoked, in Depart ments for the 25th of February, and in others, - for the 6tli 4 i)f March. The lists of Electors are to be published on the 16th of January, and verified and closed by the 19th of February, and the t new Chamber is to open its Session on the 23d crf. March.—There is a second Ordinances appointing the Presidents and Vice-Presidents of the It:lectoral Colleges for the whole country. It heeeral pages of the Moniteur and a Supple ment, but as it is a barren list of names, and has no interest beyond the limits of France, we only extract the first of the two. We received last night Flanders Papers to the 24th and liamburgh to the 20th inst. The for flier only tinnounee that the Russian Merchants haying experienced a great diminution of their trade in consequence of the existing Tariff, had petitioned the Emperor to moderate the duties on importation of foreign goods: It was not thought, however, that they would succeed, as Many ,of the principal Nobility had embarked larke capitals in the Russian manufactures, for the protection of which those 'IVO% duties had beill laid. The Hamburgh . Papers only state ttat ihe King of Denmark had issued an order, infOrming the Duchy of Holstein that he intend ea to give it a Representative Constitution, and directing Count Mane and four other persons to repair to Copenhagen to meet a Commission appointed to investigate the subject, and report upon it.—(itui.) [MORNING HERALD.] 'Beside the usual Paris Papers, WP last night received, by .express, the Aloniteur of Thursday. it Contains the Ordonnance of the King, for the' dissolution of the Chamber of Deputies and the convocation of the Electoral Colleges. The New Chamber is to meet on the 23d of March. This mea.sure derives increased importance from the probahility, that it is but the index of the deter mination of the French Ministry to try the feel iug of the people, through the medium of a new . Parliament, and of one, at least, apparently less pledged to the cause of Royalty than the present chamber, upon the new scheme of modelling the French Chamber after our house of Commons, and maldng it septennial. [NEW TIMES.) Of all the absurdities ever displayed at a Civic Meeting, the Resoultions of the Ward mote of Farringdon Without are undoubtedly the most original. The Members of the Wardmote as .semble s they choose sixteen Common Council men, and they reject a seventeenth ; but to soften the painful blow, to the latter,.they gravely tell him they regret that the enemies of liberty have triumphed over him! if this had appeared 'as the resolution of an frisll, Wardmote, what chuckling. would there not have been at the Bull ! it is the act of one and the same Ward mote to . expel Mr. Alexander Galloway from the Common Council, and to tell him that they re gret his expulsion—to triumph over him, and to algae those who obtained the triumph, as ene mies of liberty !--Never did men so stultify themselves ! 1t is one and the same advertise ment, setting forth the acts of one and the same Wardmote, which enumerates a majority of votes for Mr. Butterworth, and a minority for Mr. €4llloway and then, goes On irranediately to say, ' 4 We cannot but .. regret that the enemies of liberty , have triumphed." Where was the Lord Mayor's acuteness ? Why did he not, as .1 4 resident of the Wardinote, say--`c Gentle- Inert, you will be laughed :at---you are becalling yourselves, and faintiting your own act. Who i meant. by We in • these 11.esohitions? The Majority no doubt. And who voted against Mr. Galloway ? This satin! Majority." [THE TIM1:8;1 The PreshfenKliessage to the Congress of the United States, on the 2d inst., has reached this country. it is impossible to avoid remarking the essential difference between this periodical communication from the Executive Government of the first R,epublic in the world to its Legisla- : tore, end those documents which are termed King's Speeches, addressed in like manner, but, in substance far unlike, to Lords and Commons, to Peers and Deputies, in kingdoms near home.: The latter class of discourses, having for their! apparent object to elude inquiry and to dis-, twit imitioulverliioo, may be looked upon as a complimentary form between parties who area thrown together by overruling necessity, and who meet under feelings of reciprocal suspicion and distrust. As sources of intelligence— as indications of policy—as keys to national his tory, they have 91 late years dwindled to nothing, realizing with curious accuracy Talleyrand's de. &titian of the use of language-*" . an instrument for concealing rnen's thoughts." The genius of a popular Government rejects these mysterious de vices, which we are sorry to see practised ainongst any people alive to the natural atid almost indiS. Soluble intimacy between franknessof speech and rectitude of action. The President's message of the united States is a paper breathing business in every It is at CHICO a picture of the period elapsed since the labours of Congress were last in terrupted, a prospectus for the forthcoming year, the detailed report of a commissioner, and the for- real acconnt of a trustee. On scarcely any occasion do we recollect a message from this high officer of the United States, delivered Wog a. time of peace, which might out he cmoutted as a safe and Pregnant authority for the events and politics of the crisis at which it was made public, whether ;with regard to the concerns of the Unioo, or to those of surrounding niktions, in, (no Present in* stance ) we have read this State Paper with en interest more profound than any of its precursors had excited. The foreign relations of the United States are at this moment so deeply involved - with those of Europe, of South America and of Eng land, that we turned impatiently that division of the Message, and it well repaid us. There are two passages ,to which we shall especially direct the attention of the reader : one seems designed as a warning to Russia—the other to those Powers who meditate, or may attempt, an interference hostile to the freedom ofSouth Ame rica or of Mexico. The President, referring to certain amicable negociations, proposed by his orders to the Court of Russia, and by that Go vernment to Great Britain, " for arranging their " respective , rights and interests on the north west coast of the American continent," adds distinctly, that this 46 occasion has been judged " proper for asserting, as a principle in which " the rights and interests of the United States ‘ 4 are involved, that the American continents, " by the free and independent condition which " they have assumed and maintain, are hence ",forth not , to be considered as subjects for " future colonization by any European Power." Now, this grave and somewhat novel doc trine, being connected by Mr. Monroe him self with the subject matter of the dispute with Russia, touching the occupation of the north , western shore of America, looks to us as if the Cabinet of Washington had determined to carry its resistance to the famous ukase for mobopo lizing as well the ocean as the coast, beyond the mere maritime branch of the controversy ; and to exhibit some grounds of opposition to the esta blishment of Russian colonies on the shores of the north-west continent, and of its adjacent. islands. There is little doubt that if such be the design at Washington, full power exists to carry it into execution, let Russia act how she may. [IVIORNINGI CIIRONICLIC.] Our Madrid letters give us to understand that the amnesty question still continues to be the great subject of discussion with the Spanish Ca binet, and, indeed, nearly the only one to which the attention of the Ministers was seri ously. turned. As long as Confessor Saez re mained in office, it was firmly resolved that there should be no forgiveness for past political offences, and this was the unanimous opinion of the whole of the Clerical party. They dread the return of the Liberals, who, they are confident, cannot be penitent or sincere, and they have long been publicly preaching that the altar and the throne will be again is danger from the moment those who have fled or who have been exiled return to their homes. They have always wished that the Port St. Mary Decree should be acted upon, without the small est deviation, and this vindictive spirit, it was, that first alarmed the French Minister, and in d used the other Members of the Diplomatic Corps to coalesce with him in order to bring about a change in the Spanish Cabinet, by which means they confidently anticipated that a conciliatory policy would be pursued, more likely to allay the effervescence of parties and restore tranquillity to the country. Under this impression, it was, that the King was urged, and at length induced, to change his Ministers ; but as, in doing this, no alteration took place in his own private senti ments, he continued to guide his conduct by the private advice of his former confidants. What the new Ministers had been able to effect by their Cabinet Councils in the morning, they found was entirely undone before evening by the secret advisers brought up to the King's room by a private staircase. The former had apparently, by dint of argument and perseverance, succeeded in convincing the King that it was essential to his interests to issue an Amnesty Decree, this being a measure not only recommended by his faithful Allies, but also expected from him by the whole of Europe, as the natural consequence of a revo lution now brought to a close. The King, in fact, felt himself compelled to acquiesce ; the rough draught of the proposed Decree was made out, and after receiving the sanction of the Foreign Ministers of most influence was submitted to the Kiug for his signa ture. His Majesty received the paper, informing his zealous servants that he required some little time to deliberate on so weighty a matter. On the second day he returned the paper, so loaded with exceptions, that the proposed adt of pardon was thereby rendered completely null and void ; at the same time "adding, that under that form only he would consent to the measure. Thin placed the Ministers, as well us those who upheld theta, in a very awkward dilemma, and they deemeil it most advisable to suspend the publica tion, at the same time agreeing to return to the charge, and endeavour to convince the King of the necessity of relaxing from his first determi nation. LBRITISif The President's Message to the Congress of the' United States, Whether it regards alone that immense and rising country, or'Europe generally, is a most important,•but, we think, also a simple' and a satisfactory document. There is nnthing of rhetoric or display about it ; no apparent sup pression or distortion'; it is 'a " plain unvarnished tile," a statement of facts as they have really occurred for the last twelve months, and a fair display of the state and resources of America.— The coMmencementof the Message is worthy the tint Magistrate of that great and free country; it is an unadorned tribute to public feeling ; an offering of deferentiel homege before the great tribunal of public -opinion, the judgment seat before which all character ultimately must stand or fall. The first allusion made by the Message to the political relations of America naturally turns to thoie with this country, as the parent state., and still the most powerful in Europe. It states the disagreement of the Cominissioners, under the sth article of the Treaty of Ghent, on the boun dary line between the United States and Great Britain, and their having made their respective re. ports in compliance"with that article, that the sari n might be referred to the decision of a friendly power. It being manifest, however (the Mes. sage ,adds) that it would be difficult, if riot ;In< possible, for any 'power to perform that office without great delay and much inconvenience to 1 itself, a proposal had been made by the Govern ment of the United States, and acceded to by that of Great Britain, to endeavour to establish that boundary by amicable negociation. A pro position (the Message also states) has been made to regulate the commercial intercourse between the two countries—and the claims of the inhabitants of the United States inhabiting the states and territories bordering_ on the lakes and rivers which empty into the St. Lawrence, to the navigation of that river to the ocean. For these and other objects of high importance to the interest of both parties—a negociation has been opened with the British government—which the Message adds its hope of being attended with a satisfac tory result. From Great Britain, as the first European power, the relations of America are trac ed, to the second in political consequence, that is, to France. The negociation, the Message states, which had been depending with the French Government on several important sub jects, and particularly fora just indemnity of losses sustained in the late wars by the Citizens of the United States under unjustifiable seizures, and con fiscations of their property, had not as yet had the desired effect ; but a Minister was immediately to be appointed to France to resume the nogociation on that and other subjects between the two na tions. From France the Message proceeds to the greatest Norther Power, Russia—and alludes to the contending claims between that Cabinet and America, in which this country also has a strong interest. THE ARMY. An artier hne been received in Ireland for rising four hundred men for the Royal Artillery service. The 12th Regiment of Foot, which recently sailed from Portsmouth, arrived and disembarked at Gibraltar on the 24th of November. The 27th Regiment of Infantry, on being replaced by the 12th Foot, embarked at and sailed from Gibraltar, on the 30th of November, for the West Indies. A Detachment, belonging to the Royal African Colonial Corps, has received orders to embark at Cowes, on board the Ann transport, for Africa. The First Division of the 73d Regiment of Infantry, consist ing of four companies, arrived in Ireland from Portpatrick on the 20th instant. They are thus stationed—three companies are quartered at Bangor, and one company at Larne. Three Companies, belonging to the With Regiment of Foot, are ordered to march from Brighton and Riegate to Ports mouth. ENGLISH EMIGRANTS. r The Illinois, or situation of the English emi grants as described by a recent traveller :—" I visited both Birkbeck and Flower, in June last. Birkbeck is a fine man, in a bad cause. He was worth about 10,0001. sterling, but has deceived himself and others. Both his and Flower's settle ment, (which are all one), is all a humbug. They are all in the mire, and cannot get out; and they, therefore, by t►ll manner of means and arts, endeavour to make the best of it. Birkbeck tells me, the reason why he does not cultivate his land is, because he cnn buy pro duce cheaper et Harmony, much cheaper than I►a can raise it, although its price is double what lam giving at Lexington market. The Harm°. nities all work, and pay nothing for labour.— Mr. Birkbeck, in June last, was the proprietor of 10,000 acres, and forfeited his first deposit, ten cents an acre, on a great part of the land, which prove to be, as is his settlement generally, the worst land In Illinois. Nobody now cares to buy of, or settle down, with either him or Flower. I like Flower the least ; I would prefer Birk beck for a neighbour, dressed up as he is, in a little mean chip hnt, arid coarse domestic clothes from Harmony, living in a little log-house, smoal►ing segars, and drinking bad whisky, just us I found him, rough as he was. Mr. G. Flower is inducing mechanics to come from all parts to settle, although there is no employment for them, nor any market now, nor in future, unless a war conies, which may require America to supply other nations in wont. S ome ti mes I think Biikbeck is right. But still I think that both Flower and he will get rid of all their dollars, and never raise more ; dollars and they will part for ever. They will live, but not as they did and might have lived, In England, or the Eastern States. Labour costs more than double what it does in the East. The West; is only fit for poor men who are th e only! proper pioneers for the wilderuess, Ido not be. f lieve that land will improve in value, but that: much money will be wasted in improvements."-1 The result of this traveller's researches seems tot be exactly the same with that which Cobbeirsl Year's Residence in America points to. He t has seen the Birkbecks and the Flowers, all cleaning their own shoes, and washing their; own potatoes, for the want of servants ; he has seen English damsels, who used to finger the forte at home, skinning pigs and undressing them selves and sleeping in the same room with both men and pigs ; be is satisfied, that all the Prairie gentry, who have any money, are losing that as fast as possible, along with every other good thin they brought with them from the regions of civilization. TanaTs3A.—The stoicism of this extraordi nary individual, we learn on good authority, has at last, in a recent instance, yielded to circurn stances, he having been moved even to tears. This powerful effect was the result of a visit from Jack Martin, the pugilist, and of whom Thurtell has been the frequent backer. Jack, on enter ing the cell, and there seeing his former patron menacled, was so affected at the sight, that, bursting into tears, he exclaimed—" Is there any thing, Thurtell, which t can do for you'?" This honest expression of unaffected sympathy touch ed the heart of Thurtell to tile quick, who, un able to restrain his tears, mingled them with those of his friend.

The ci rcumstance of this publication having been made so long after his death, and the well-known fact that he made no address to the people from the scaffold, would of themselves be sufficient to discredit it. The Elate positively asserts that the new Spanish Ministry, immediately on its first Thew' Whig, d:clared unanimously that the loans of the Cortes should not be recognized, and that "Ca. pi lutists of Paris and London having drawn up and presented, in common, propositions, all tend! ing to an admission of the debt of the Cortes, la consideration of a sum of money, a positive re fusal was the only answer to these proposals."
