From the moment that there was an (idea' . of breaking the' peace which Europe enjoys, the . ' Chambers of CoMmerce of several maritime and manufacturing towns have been addressing repre-1 sentations to the Minister of the Interior nn the injuries which commerce and manufactures may stiffer from the war . Judging from the result, their observations have had little weight in the balance In Which the members of the Council have Weighed what they have regarded as the political interests of France. This ill success hati not discouraged the principal merchants. The greater number have assembled and agreed to address to . the ChaMber of Deputies the same representations, supported by calculations founded on fact and , • indisputable documents. They . hope to find in the Chamber .persons who will attend to their complaints, and support their interests. A letter .from Bordeaux, dated the sth, informs us that numerous Signatures are already'made to an ad. dress which is about to be sent to the Chamber. We learn, also, that other towns are resorting to this course, which the charter authorizes. May these representations arrive in time to prevent •events which the commercial ant' manufacturing interests of all Europe dread as much as those of .France.—(Courier Frangais.) Yesterday, on 'Change, the Funds experienced a marked depression. This movement was caused by the communications made to the Chamber, -and by the momentary embarrassment in which the hnuse of a rich capitalist is placed.L.(Mid.) A letter from Perpignan says--" Nearly 2,000 litudeats of the Universities of Barcelona have Offered themselves voluntarily to serve the aitil lery of the place. Every exertion is making to arm and organize the inhabitants of La Cerdagne. Equal activity hi shown in fortifying Puycerda."

Casimir Perrier—Gentlernen (said the Ron. Member) 1 terve no obser4tion, to make upon what hae been said by the President, but have, some explanation to demand on the for mation of the committees. Four projects of law have been sub mitted to you, and there is no doubt that a committee is to be farmed ad hoc, to examine the law of accounts of the service for 11121 ; but I fear that none of the other three projects will be sent to any oommittee, and particularly that which demands from us a supplemental vote of credit of 100 millions for the service of litl3. That demand, Gentlemen, is no other than a propoei. lion for aid to undertake war; you cannot, therefore, send it to the committee of the budget of 1024. There can be no connec. tier" between the discussion and the vote of the ordinary ex. If the State, and an extraordinary loan of 100 millions to carry on a year, which, before its commencement, has already cost to many sacrifice* and misfortunes to Franee.—(Murmuis `on the right : On the left—" It is but too true,")—To the Ocitlemen, belongs the right of making war; but when 'be calla for imposts to maintain it, it is for the Chamber of Deli-tax to assume all its rights; it is only then, after a special discussion, maturely weighed, that we shall be justified in voting the new charges demanded of us. On this account, I demand that this preliml be sent to another committee than that of the budget of 1824—for men tit for the examination of financial questions may not be those that you would intrust with deciding whether you will agree to subsidies demanded of- you f o r. war. There must be, therefore, for this law a special corn. .mission, in which Ministers will, doubdese, submit to the meet. lhers who compose it the documents which have determined ; them to arm France against Spain—riocuments which they have `refused us in the discussion of the secret committee.. It is in the public disc Lesion that our honoo table opponents (the speak er elludell e to the right side) will fulfil the pledge they have given to exhibit in the face of France the conduct and the faults o' the ldit , iiitrY• In conclusion, tlentlemen, adopting an expres. sir 'of the Preeident of the Council of Ministers, I will say, that we will never shrink from any sacrifice which is necessary to defend the porioute the dignity, and ehe e independenee of •uur country ; fait we may be.

Exist ing ciretunstances requiring that the veterans be rendered move. able, nisillajesty his ordered that a project of a law to that effect be presented to the Chamber. Two resources in theevent of war are open for horne'seiviie. The first comprises the dis charged soldiers who have not served twelve years, and who haie not teethed the age of 82 : the second•includes the young soldiers who have voluntarily enlisted, been disembodied, and discharged, by virtue dr the existing law for she recruiting of the army. There is no necessity to have recourse either to the one or the other , of these resources. The home service at pre sent requires but little ; all that is required -is to supply the de ficiency in the garrisons, produced by the marching of the troops to the Pyrenees ; and it will suffice, for that purpose, to call out the soldiers who are applicable by articles 23 and 24 of the law of the 10th. of March. In the choice rustle between the different descriptiOns of 'the discharged soldiery, his Majesty has considered that the non-commissioned officers and soldiers re cently discharged ought alone to be employed ; and the project of law which will be presented to the Chamber will consist but of a single article, and include them alone." The Minister having presented a law project conformable to his speech, it was ordered, on the proposition of the President, that it should be examined In the bureaus immediately after the law project relative to the dotation of the Chambers. M. Chauvelin made some observations on the regulation re specting receiving reports on petitions, and the President inti. mated that it was possible the first report would be presented on Saturday.-The Chamber then adjourned. GRAND DUCHY OF BADEN. CARLBRUILE, FEB. 2.—The Sitting of the Se cond Chamber of the State on the day before yesterday had a melancholy termination. The discussion related to our military establishments, for which a vote was proposed in the Budget of 1,648,000 'lodes. Government, however, con sented to reduce it, by taking off the odd 48,000 florins ; and to suppress the statute labour of the military waggons, by substituting for that labour a stun of 39,0Wt1orins, payable on the funds of the military revenue : it however insisted on the vote of 1,600,000 florins for the army of the' ,, Grand Duchy, as the Chamber itself had before resolved upon such a military establishment, asl being necessary for the State in its quality of a confederated one. Government also maintained that in the other States of Germany military esta. l blishments of much greater proportions of men had been voted by the Assemblies of those States. The Chamber refused to enter into any such comparisons, as it was ignorant of any facts on ' which to come to a conclusion ; and persisted in voting no more than 1,500,000 florins. Govern ment, with a ,hope of inducing the Chamber to coincide with its views on other topics, declared that the sum of 1,600,000 florins was necessary for it in its capacity of a Confederate State ; and that in accordance with the 68th Article of the Constitution, the resolution of the Assembly of the States could not prevent its tilling up the deficit of 1,600,000. It therefore required that the Chamber should, without abandoning its former resolution, give its concurrence to that declare tion of the Government, and not oppose the Go vernment, in virtue of this right of a Confederate State, from comprising in the budget the sum of 1,600,000 florins. The Chamber came to the vote on this subject the 30th ult, when the pro position of the Government was rejected by a majority of 30 to '29 ; and thus in one minute one single vote has destroyed all the benefits arising from a tedious Session of seven mouths duration.—(Gazette de France.) BRUSSELS, FELL B.—The following Order of the Day has just been issued at, Lille by the Marquis de Jumilline " Conformably to the order of his Excellency the ltifinister of War, dated the 3d inst„ all officers, subalterns, and soldiers, who have obtained furloughs, and, who are in the limits of the Dl'vision. are to 'rejoin immediately the corps to which they be long, and no application for a furlough will be admitted, till further .orders; those who belong to troops that are on their march will receive from the Commanders of their corps notice of the place where they are to join the others will repair to their garrisons." FcbruarN 10.--There is a general movement on the Northern frontiers of France ; the Regi ment of Dragoons de la Manche, in garrison at Maubeuge, has set out for the Army of the Pyretc€7r; part of the garrison of Arras has like. wise set out. Considerable convoys of ammu nition are preparing at Douay, which have the same destination. All the officers and soldiers absent on furlough are hastening to rejoin their respective corps in French Flanders and Artois, conformably to the orders of the Minister of War. En all the commercial towns, business is at present at a stand. • Auuseutto, Fee. 3.—An account from Lintz of the 26th of January, says—." For some days past there has been much talk or the eventual march of an Austrian Army through the Austrian dominions to proceed to Italy—there to embark for Catalonia. This news,however, rests at pre. sent only on reports." t~ • ~s ="' ' •,. r) 4so - TIPS r N A; • - • 11)1'17AEIIM r A810111C:nil4:CO1MX I. " TitU4 44 ll) . 1101 14 ;b 4 iit ' . 44 'rile Court opened &t "leo O'clock this morn tg, and immediately proceeded to busitiess. 4The examination of the witness Head was resumed.—Before kind Portsmouth went out on the Monday morning of his mar- age with Miss Hanson he gaveno directions about his clothes. dhere were some things packed up. Il e did not put on a c l ea n irt that morning, to the best of witness's knowledge. When Itis Lordship went out in the morning he told the witness that to was going;" to breakfast at Mr. Hanson's, in Bloom' sbury. Square. There were Gen. Norton and Mrs. Fletcher Norton, of . the Grantley familr..in the house at Lincoln's-inn. fi elde at the • -4t time. There were no preparations and nothing said about a Mar. rine in the house on that day or any time before. In thit Cones° Of the morning Mt. Newton: liansotOtight a note from Lord Portsmouth; to ~ writes, 'brdering tb take some *thee rrear were p eked „ ta . H - ansoneit. ..Witness t sew ;ford P. the next day, whewitatirOntto take the clothe" to Bloomilspry ; square, at Mr. Hanson's, between five'and six, when his Lord ship told the witness that he had been to Salthill. Thcarst thing his Lordship said was, " th a t h e h a d nicked ustsit by being married." Witness dressed his Lordship, who told hind that he did not know about being married when he left them (the family) in the morning. Witness does not recollect that his Lord4hiP shaved before be went out on the Monday. On the Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday his Lordship slept in Bloomshury.square. Witness returned with Lady Ports mouth to Hampshire. His Lordship from time to time, soon after his marrow, Complained greatly of L a d y P ortsmout h , and said , she had threatened him' and had horsewhipped him. Witness, in the lifetime of the late Countes s , went out with his Lordship and ..her Ladyship in his phaeton.. —His Lordship; when he met a hearse, would often whip at the driver. of it, and would call him old Joe, and old Peter, and a black job fellow. At Hartshorne his Lordship 'would often ring one of the bells in the Church, and would often stop the rope pullers on the road, and shake hands. He once received 15d. from witness for ringing. When per. sons in the neighbourhood were ill, his Lordship was verranxi. ous to know when they would die, and the palish clerk was or. dered to let hint know when they died, that he might ring the bells. Ile would upon receiving the information go and ring. Witness, at the funerals, has heard his Lordship in the church give out the psalms for singing; he was often in coloured clothes on those occasions, but.had mostly a crape hatband. His Lord ship would often walk before the procession in the place of the clerk, and would sit in the clerk's place in the church. There was no getting a frank from his Lordship as a favour, but if the servants told him they wanted to get a person in disgrace, or to get a person flogged, he would give diem one readily. This was their usual mode of getting franks. Cross-examined by Mr. Serjeant Pgt.r.—Witness remembers having met Mr. Newton Fellowcs. Witness called upon him because Mr. Newton Fellowes wrote to him. Ile ofThred wit ness to take him into his service. Witness gave evidence on the attempt to set up the conirnission of lunacy in 1814. Wit ness now lives at Bramley, and keeps a shoe, meal, and pork shop. Witness on that occasion asked whether he should have any compensation for his loss of time ; but Mr. Newton Fel lowes made no answer, nor had the witness ever received a far. thing. He bad assisted his Lordship in making the servants drink the draughts which his Lordship had prescribed. Wit. nest used to gratify his Lordship in all his pranks. Witness never heard that Lord Byron and Mr. Buckworth attended his Lordship to church. Mr. Buckworth was an acquaintance of Mr. Hanson. Lord Portsmouth used to read the prayers in the house, and would ,sometimes read the Morning and Even. ing Service 4 4 in a lump." Witness does not recollect having ' been examined at inchester in a case of perjury. Reexamined by Mr. WETrixilet.e.—Never saw Lord Byron at Lord PorternoutWs.. Witness believes Mr. Hanson Was Lord Byron's attorney. Lord Byron dined on the Tues. day at Mr. Hanson's. Mr. Buckworth was a young man.— With respect to these mixtures, witness said he used to make pretence only to put the jalap in the beer, which he used to make the servants drink. His Lordship used to wear a jean dress when he was working in the fields with the men in load. ing. the hay and dung carts. - By the Jury—The witness was discharged from Lord. Ports. mouth's service for having made an affidavit. Josiah Fither, examined by Mr. PErys...--Witness was postillion to Lord Portsmouth. Witness, when the family were in Lincoln's Inniqtad seen his Lordship in the stables, when he would say to witness, " Joe, have you got an y bl ac k jobs to day le" meaning funerals. On one occasion, when his Lordship came into the stables in a furious hutnour,_ witness said to him, 4 4 You would'nt be in suc h a n ill-h umour if you knew *hat I've seen."—" 'What have ,you seen ?" said his Lordship.—" Why I've seen a black job in Holborn," replied the witness. His Lordship whipped out of the stables in a moment, and witness clever saw any more of him that day. His Lordship would often come into the stables, and swear that the ostlers starved his horses, and would put three feeds of corn in their mangers at once. Witness .was Obliged often to take it out again. Lord Portsmouth's manner ofdriving was no manner at all. He would often, when in a situation of danger, throw up the reins on the witness's lap, and tell him to take them himself. • Thos. Mills was then examined by Mr. BROUGHAM—wit ness said, I am now in Lord Portsmouth's service, and hav e been for 14 years as a carte r . Th e Earl used to come often where I and others were working. He used to drive the horses In the hay-field from cock to cock. He would sometimes whip us when he was angry, and would often pitch us off the cocks into the waggon. Used he to eat and drink, and joke with you ?—Yes. What sort of jokes were his ?---Such as flinging beer over us. (Laughter.)—When 1 used to give hint a horn of' beer, he would pretend to drink, and th en fli ng i t into Illy face. He asked me once whether my wife tickled me ? I said yes. .! , o does mine, said he, she nearly tickl es use out of bed. I can ' t recollect exactly whether he told me any thing about pups.— I flute)/ he asked me once if my wife had any pups. He said he could not get any pups. He would sometimes put sawdust into our beer. He used to ring with us at the Church and used to expect his share of the money for it. Beer used to be sent for us, and his Lordship would t a k e a h orn o f i t w i t h us. I re member a gray horse which his Lordship whipped, running after him, and if I had`nt stopped it, it would have run over him.— He came into the fields one day as I was ploughing, and said to me, " I've got another wife.' 1 said, who's that ? " Miss Hanson," said he. He told me that he was obliged to have her, because if he didn't, Mr. Hanson had told him Mr. Fel. lower would take him down into Devonshire, and shut him up. I was ordered not to obey Lord Portsmouth, but the Bailiff. Cross.examined by. Mr. Serjeant PELL.—I was examined about the commission of lunacy which was tried to be taken out in 1814. 'Witness believed that he told the gentleman who took down his examination all that he had said to-day. By the Crime' Comm issros; can't read, and I did'nt read the affidavit, but I heard it read. Ale. BROUGHAM submitted that this affidavit made by the witness should be put in and read. Ile urged this upon &decision on the queen's trial, that whenever a witness was examined as to a particular document, that document must be produced. A Juryman here submitted that-this proceeding was not one like an ordinary proceeding; a trial between two parties. It was an inquiry in which everything that could be of informs. don was legitimate. In the present instance it would be of great satisfaction to the Jury to hear the affidavit in question read. • Mr. BROUGHAM was about to proceeed in his argument upon the law of the question, whets Mr. Serjeant PELL rose, and as we understood him, said that the Jury would ate in the course of the cause what use would be made of that affidavit : but at present b e did not con sider himself bound to produce it. The Learned Serjeant inside sonic further remarks whilst Mr. Brougham was on his legs, but the noise being so great at the time, we did not hear them. Mr. BROUGIUM said, it was singular that Mr. Serjeat Pell knew what he was going to say, and anticipated it, but when it was said he did not understand it. Mr. Sedum PELL declared that he did understand Whilt the Learned Gentleman said. There was no man for whose talents he had a greater respect, or whom lie heard with greater pleasure. What the Learned Gentleman said went far beyond his ears--it had even reached his heart—but though Mr. Brougham was a formidable toe to encounter . , yet he (Serjeant Pell) would tell hint that if he meant to begin a warfare in the conduct of this momentous case, he should - be met at every point. 'ilk was not said as a triumphant challenge, but in sincerity and with respect to the talent of the Learned Gentle. man. But he (Ser)'cant Pell) was not here to succumb to any man —even to Mr. Brougham. Mr. EnounnAse said he was exceedingly sorry if he had sdal any thing that had been considered by his Learned Friend as personally offensive. An intimation was given from one of the Commissioners that he couaidered that the witness had a right to correct himself by hearing the affidavit. After some further di scuss i on, M r. Ser i leant PELL gave it up. The affidavit was then read.—lt stated the fondness of the Earl for working with the men, driving a wagon,_ &c.that his Lordship told hi nt that the Countess often tickled him in the ribs ; and on one occasion he told the witnesa, " last night Lady Portsmouth tickled me in the short ribs uncommonly."

Lady Portsmouth ordered witness not to obey his Lordship.—l have known his Lordship send three or four men in a day to the house in Lin coln's-inn-fields for the place of coachman, LI be said a coach man was wanting there. Ile used to come into the stables. and direct that horses which had been hard worked should be , bled. Ile used to say, I must take a pail of blood at a time from' them ; so I used to put some tow round their necks and stick it on with a pin, to make him believe that they had been bled. He used to come behind me slily, as I was at work, and throw the water in the pail over My legs. He used to throw the water over as fast as I fetched it, and would some times fling the mop at me, and totnetimes through the coach glass. I used to tell him ' I would get a warr a nt f or hi m f rom Bow-street, when he would ask me whether I was hurt. If I said I was, he would pull out his lancet and offer to bleed me. I have known him to go about to the undertakers and ask whether they had any funerals going out into the country. He would go and meet them, and ilrive by the aide of the hearse, whip at the driver, and drive in between the hearse and the man who car rierthe feathers.' 'He ivould often whip at the footmen behind his coach. When the late Lady Portsmouth died (the witness continued), Lord Portsmouth came to the witness on the day before Th e funeral, and told him who were to come to it, and bade him to whip them and drive them into a horse-pond. As The funeral procession moved along, his Lordship put his hand •out of the coach, and shook it to the witness, as a signal for him to doss he had been instructed. At Guildford he made a sig nal- to the witness to give some of the cavalcade a ducking. When the witness saw his Lordship after the funeral, his Lord ship had got it into his head that the witness had driven the hearse, and in great glee said he would make him pay his, foot ing. He insisted upon having fifteen shillings-from the:wit ness for editing, as he called it, the witness never having driven a hearse 'before. Witness continued—" I was in town at the timeof the . jnar. rjage of Lord Portsmouth with Miss Haneon. Thernwere pone of us that knew of it until three o'clock on the day, when Mr. Hanson's coachman came and told ut of it. He came into the stable on the day after, and said to me " Charley, 1 have got a new wife." So I hear, master," said I. " Yes, I - havel'• says he, " and she'sa young one too." But he said he did not know any thing about It until the morning he break. • fasted with Mr. Hanson, and that it was not till twelve o'clock on Sunday night that o ld Hanson persuaded her to have him. But his Lordship said he would rather have had the sister..._. When he was angry with any of the servants he would prescribe them water gruel and mustard. He would run after the cook with a bunch of nettles and try to drive. her out of the kitchen. He would ask the witness, in the stables, whether he had any victuals. If the witness said no his Lordship would Pala, " then I'll go and give it to the cook well," and he would thin run into the kitchen with a bunch of nettles. . tr.

I know that Lord Portsmouth had not iense enough to manage or do any thing with horses. By the Jury.—Mr. Hanson discharged me. Lord Ports mouth mentioned the death of the late Countess with the great est glee. Samuel Cooper, examined by Mr! J. PowxLL—l was in the service of Lord Portsmouth as a carter.. I have seeia his Lord ship drive the teem in the waggon with a carter's whip. He used to flog the horses very much, when they did not want flog. ging. One tithe, when we were coming up a hill, his Lordship said he should not take off the drag chain. We had come down the hill, when he turned the horses up again; the drag chain was on. He flogged the horses severely with a whip. Nothing happened, but one of the horses fell down. He flogged another horse that did not want flogging until he nearly shot his wind. /Witness wanted to remove the drag-chain, when his Lordship asked him If it was his ? William Litchfield, examined by Mr. WETHERELL-4 was employed 40 years ago as a house carpenter in Harteborn. In the time of the late, Countess I was ordered not to attend to any matters of importance without her order; Wiling matters I might do at the order of his Lordship. Some time since I had a daughter who was ill ; his Lordship came and waited three hours-, and asked when she would die ? lie came with the parish clerk, and was very anxious about her until she died. His Lordship then were to toll the bell for her death. Sly Lord ordered Richard Poor to make the coffin fur my daughter and he came to meet the c or p se . I paid 361. for the coffin; I consented to Poor's making it. A.ll my family were at the funeral ; my Lord walked before atlas an undertaker ; he wore a blue coat); he told us we were behind time. At the church he gave out the psalms and sang them h imself.. '1 know a man of the name of Gale ; my Lord met us ores' ;time when we were "going to church, and told us to goback.itgain. We did not go to church when Sacrament was given ; my Lord's behaviour was such that I could not go. One time, when witness was warming some glue for the use of the furniture, with a fire of fagot wood, his Lordship came and ordered the fire to be put out, and said that I stole the wood, and be would have me be. fore a Justice; he would have no fire made theta. On one time, when I led a horse with a cart to be mended, my Lord said 1 had forfeited, because I bad never led a horse before, and made me pay him two shillings. Ile wanted to get a sixpence from a man who refused to give it, and said he wanted it for his family ;my Lord, in a great passion, said " d—n your family." I was on a ladder at work, when his Lordship would have thrown me down slily if I had not got off. I think his Lordship is weaker than he was. I have r seen him about a fortnight ago. He was weak from a c hild. Charles - Green was examined by Mr. DENHAM—He had been in the service of Lord Portsmouth as a footman. When I first went I was astonished at the familiarities which were usual towards his Lordship, seeing that he was so greet a Nobleman. When I met him on the stairs, if he was in an i ill hemour, he would say, " I'm to be crossed by you as well as the rest, am .1 ?" in a wild way ; I was astonished at that, for I had committed no offence. This was very fre. quently the case with me more than any body else; but I soon got the length of his foot, and would hit off his humour. lam now a shoeinalcet. I could manage him by little things. I would lay hold of his queue, and knock at hi s b ac k, and ask whether any b o dy was at ' home ? A trick of this kind would drive off his ill humour. I used to put a mop-stick between his legs. The witness went on to describe a variety of tricks of this kind, which he made use of to manage his Lordship. On one occasion when I was walking behind his Lordship, I received a blow froin him which knocked tnedown. I was taken home, and I had some white wine whey ; I was not very ill ; however, I wi s h e d to frighten him ; so I said to him, it a not fit that gentlemen should knock down their ser vants, and in the Crown Office they would punish him ; so I threatened to put him there, and have all his estates taken from him. He was frightened at that, and cried out, " I'll go and tell my wife of you I" Lord Portsmouth was very fond of music ; and gave some of us suits of clothes to make a band of us. He would sometimes ask what key the music which he heard was in ; I'd perhaps tell him that it was the key of oor Z. Once when his sleeve caught fire I ran up with a basin of water : when the fire was put out, he asked us why I did not put him in the tub of water. In his mind he is like a boy of four or five yearn old. rd afsortbheelhlereixnadgrortneinuerti -niapbrnttlyeoliwrtehrerre:lslmthprlect.tomsocußtuhtlithbeolpyduniresunie of r r n i , n ett A w g fLr t 7ei t . .h — ml d e l Cross.extonined by Mr. Serjeant PELL-4 am now a shoe. girls en st in e n his maker.
