A general but secret scrutiny was enforeht ; the result of WEV4, that out of 295 votes, 202 were for the adoption of the address, and 93 against ft. • The.

Sunday, The Chamber of Deputies met yesterday in Secret Commit tee, for the discussion of 'the Address in answer to the Speech from the Throne. The sifting, which opened at half-past one in the afternoon, was not over till past 0 o'clock. . It was expected that from the extreme right a violent storm Would burst forth on the Ministry. , The fact is, that in the ge neral diseussion, three speakers voted for th rejection of the address, as having a tendency to excuse the inexcusable con duct of the influential party in the Ministry. M. de Is Bout donnaye reproached the Piesident of the•CotMcil with having opposed the war when there was a fit opportunity to make it, when there was no preparation for defence in Spain, when in vasion would have been favoured by the bands in Catalonia and Navarre,,who at that time had not experienced any reverse, and by the generous conspirators of the 7th of .Inly, whose SUCCS3 would have been rendered certain by our co-operation. It is added, that in his. vehement philippic, he accused the,Fresident of the Council of having betrayed the patty whose creature he -was; and the cruse of legitimacy, by allowing to exist in the midst of France-the remains of the revolution, and by following the-same errors, thou= system of hesitation and expedients, as the preceding Administration. In the opinion of M. de Is Bourtlonnaye there should be a simultaneous action in Spain and France, to exterminate revtdationists and the hydra of revolution. It is said that :NI. tie Rergorlay , undertook to refute all the publicists in the world, to justify the right of intervention,. and to make it understood, that if France, in this pious and sacred war, should accept the aid of die troops of her allies, those friendly troppa ought not to excite any degree - of, uneasiness. As to M. Delalot, hit exordium, which seemed to haveleen of long preparation, was not, it is said, very appropriate to the , occasion : but after this episode, the orator made , a personal attack on M. de Villile. 'He saw in the contradictions which have for some months distinguished:. the . unfortunate Journal des Debuts, a faithful Image of the conduct, the character, and vacillation of the Minister. In accusing the Journal desill. bats of being an accomplice, as was proved by the public remu neration received by one of its proprietors, M. Delalot sacrificed to the interest of his party old friendships and affeetions,..And • what he called secondary interests. M. de Vill4le answered his defence may cagily be presum ed. At the time (he said) when 'it is pretended Spain was with out defence, nothing in:France was ready for the attack. IJy acting imprudently and with precipitation, there would have been a risk of exposing the life of King Ferdinand. Every thing which could be done against the Constitutional system. • was done. 'lt was difficult to supply the extravagantalemands, - for men and .money made by the'Chicfs of bands ; but assist ance was given them, insurrection was stirred up Ivherevei it was possible. Ilut, fnueh es he appeared to be' inclined to peace when war -was not posiible, as much was he disposed for war, now that a hundred thousand men wen:Assembled at 'the foot of the Pyrenees, and now 'that it was necessary to attack the 'South in order to eicape from the North. This ambiguous language; it is said, required some explana tion, the result of which was, that war was to be made on Spain in order not to give a passage to the armies of the North,- who have to take vengeance on the Peninsula. This reasoning al), pears to us puerile and inadmissible. But the close of the ge. neral discussion of the address appears to have been pronounc ed without any speaker of the left side having taken part, in it. It appears that in the detailed discussion, two amendments . were set aside by the previous question ; one proposed by M. Duvergier de Ilauranne. His speech, inspired by that pa. triotism and moderation which belting to his character, tended to prove that the war was unnecessary, that we were not pre. pared to make it, and that its consequences would be disastrous, not only to our commerce and industry, but also to our internal tranquillity. The other atnertdment, likewise rejected, was proposed by M. Laing, with that timidity which belongs to the aspirant after ho. ?tours, and those regrets and-reserves which console the con science without satisfying it. • The left side then took a part in the discussion, because it was in effect a question involving 'the interest of the people, en tirely forgotten in the beginning of the debate, solely:devoted to the ambition and enmities of party spirit. MM. Cabanon and Leseignear, as is said, aimed at showing wherein the war was injurious to our commercial and manu facturing" interests. M. de Sebastiani powerfttlly developed how odious and imprudent the. 'desire was to conquer 'Spain for'the establishment of absolute power; in order 40 transport it into France, and overwhelm.her with•it. deneral Foy; taking-up with that warmth acid talent which characterize' him what had fallen from M. de Kergorlay re. specting the possible co-Operation of Foreign . Powers, proposed' an amendment; beseeching the King, whatever might be the events of the war, if war is inevitable, to prevent the soil of our country from being polluted by the presence of foreign armies. It Is said he interrogated the 31inister for Foreign Affairs on the nature of the new engagements that Might have Peen entered into with other Powers. •It is said, that that Minister, invited to tribune to make his reply audible to all, after having excused his want , of preparation to answer , such ,interrogatories, and probably for the, interdictory reason that to the King alone belonged, the Hulls of entering into treaties, and that his Minister could not divulge the secrets of diplomacy, declared, nevertheless, that in hisquality of Ambassador at Verona, he had not formed any engag,ement.which could injure the country, or the dignity of the throne. It is added, that M. de Chauvelin, in supporting The argu. ment of General Foy, proposed • a sub-amendment, which met with no better fate than the others ; and it is said, finally, that . the address as proposed by the Committee, which is more me-, nacing arid warlike than even the speech from the throne, was adopted by a majority of 2u2 against AI [From the Courier Francais.] The Sacret Committee of the Chamber of Deputies sat from half-past , one till eight in the evening. It appears, according to the best information we have been able to collect concerning this important sitting, that after a first reading of the project of the address, which was entirely conformable to the principles and views manifested in the speech from the throne, M. de la Bourtionnaye ascended the tribune. lie ittacked,•in general terms, the conduct of that party in the Ministry who at one titre were opposed to the war. He complained of articles on this subject insertedin the journa l des Dibats, and at' the re compense awarded to the writer of those articles, who has been, made Counsellor of State. By postponing the war so long, time has been allowed to the Spaniards to prepare themselves, whilst, by deciding at an opportune period, M. de la Boer donnaye thought they would have been taken by surprise, and victory rendered easy. M. Delalot spoke „ill a sense not less opposed to the President of th e C ounc il ; but his speech prin_ cipally rested on a false supposition, that the Ministry were opposed to the project of ,the address, whilst, on thetontrary, they supported It. M. de Kergorlay spoke at great length to demonstrate the justice and the necessity of the right of inter., vender). M. de Villtle, in reply to the attacks-directed against hint, said that at the period when he was reproached with hav ing testified pacific intentions, the state of the finances and the army did not-permit France to commence war; that the Qo .vernment then did every thing that was in their power, by fa. vowing the internal dissension); of Spain; and!that an ill.under. stOod preparation would have exposed Ferdinand. This salter den caused a lively sensation in the assembly, , and the speaker was reminded that the danger was the same at present. After thisispeoch, the general discussion was closed; the project of the address was read a second time, and two amend ments were proposed—one by M. Thivergier de Hauranne, de. ,elating that the Chamber eagerly embraced the last hopes.of peace:; the second' by M. Lahti!, expressing neatly the same sentiments, but in a manner less explicit. • These two ;mama ments •gave rise to an animated debate. 'The left side and centre did not take part till after the discussion hadlurned on general interests. 3EII. Cabanan and Leseigneur spoke on the interests of commerce and industry. Gen. Sebestlani pointed out the dangers of aria e.xpetlition planned; togiake conquests for absohite power in Spain, in order to intraduce it into France. General Foy proposed an amendment, the Object of which was that in the event of war proving inevitable, at least the French territory should be guaranteed trom the presence of foreign au xi harks; and he .requested the Minister for Foreign Affairs to make known to the assembly the •state of dur relation With those Powers whose co-operation Might be feared. M.. de Chateawbriand commenced his reply from bis Seat, but at the thluestof the Chamber ascended , the tribune, itnd declared that he was not prepased to answer the questions put to him ; that it belonged to the King to conclude whatever , treaties he judged necessary, and that as the King's Minister he could not divulge the secrets of which he was the depositary; but that he could, however, affirm, that as plenipotentiary at Verona, belted net concluded any treaty derogatory to the ho.• nour of France. M. Chauvelin was also heard against the pro ject of the address. The Chamber set aside the amendments proposed, by the previous question. The project of the address, in reply to the Speech from the Throne, was adopted. The munher of voters was 295.; white balls, 202 black balls, O. There will be a public sitting on Monday, at one o'clock, to receive a commgnication from the Government. . jFrom the Coratitutiannel.] The Secret Committee of the Chamber of Deputies lasted till eight o'clock in the evening. It is confidently asserted that Messrs. dela I3ourdonnaye and Delalot attacked the .Minister of Finance for not having begun the war soon enough : that M. Duvergier de Hauranne proposed in favour of peace an amend ment, which .was rejected by the previous question : that M. Laine proposed a second, which was rejected : and that an amendment of general Fay, tending to decline any occupation, 'or any co-operation by Foreign Powers, was likewise rejected by the prevous question. It. is added, that the 4rnendments were supported by Messrs. Sebastiani, Cabanon, Leseigneur, and Chauvelin, and combated by the Minister of Finance : that the Minister of War was absent, and that the Minister of Foreign Affairs did not utter, above one or two expressions on the great question under discussion. • It is generally said that the address is altogether in favour of war. [Prom the Quotidienne.l The following is the report of the p ar ti cu l ars o f th e S ecret 'Committee whi - di is current in almost all the salooni of the etropolis , It is said thatafter the first reading of the address by the President, several Deputies called for a second reading, which was immediately complied with. M. de Is ourdonnaye then spoke, .and attacked, not the respectful expressions of the address, but the conduct of the Ministry, orrather of the most influential Minister. It was added that this Hon. Member concluded, though with regret, that he shodd vote for the rejection of the address, inasmuch as its adoptbn.would in some measure imply an approbation of his condtct: Al. de Lalot spoke in the same sense as M. de la Bourdon naye, anti concluded in the same manner. M. de Villne instantly answered thisdeuble attack. M. de Lalot i'l. Duvergier de liauranne imade several observations at length against the. principal part of the address, and proposed an amendment in the passage. relative to Spain. M. de Villele combated the arguments,and the proposition of M. de Ifauranne. The general discussion continued till half-past five ; the amenehneats provoked a fresh one. The amendment of N. Duvergier de Ilauranne was sup. ported by Generals Foy and Sebastiani. M. de Clutuvelin pro posed a sub-amendment ; but all were rejected. Leine attempted to introduce a slight modification, with regard to those hopes of peace which the King's speech allow ed to be entertained, It was remarked that M. Maine's ha rangue though he usually , speaks ex tenipore, was written. The Chamber saw no•ute in the distinctions of the speaker. It is asserted that, at a quarter past seven, the whole address was voted by a great majority. It is even said there was for it a majority of 206 white balls, aginst 03- black ; and that a deputation to present it was immediately chosen by lot. • If the King of Spain desires (and he is daily accused of doing so) the overthrow of . the institutions which he has sworn to maintain, the. Chiefs of the Army of the Faith might hold their authority from him. Secretly, but formally authorized by him, they .would be recognized by those Powers which offer Ito restore to Spain that kind of repose which she enjoyed for four years. But If these chi e f s mutua lly di savow a nd dispute the authority of each other, is not this an acknowledgment that they have no commission ? The greater part of thew: faithfhl men either refuse to obey him who commands in the name of the King s .or, pure as they are, swayed by personal interest, take up arms only for the triumph of a faction ; they under. take to:deceive Spain, and are persuadedsto hope that they can deceive France.—( Conditutionnel.) • We are astonished to perceive, that the Journal der Diluns, which usually has sufficient regard for its own character, to refrain from those personalities which are more prejudi cial to those who employ them than to those against whom they are directed, has to-day indulged in the most bate insi. nuations against a man of S uc h honourable character as the Duke de San Lorenzo. We are entirely ignorant of the pre tended reports which, . according to the Journal des Debate, are circulated in Paris. We believe that such reports, if they, ever existed, were heard for the first and the last time in the same coterie. IVe know well that dhring his short mission here, the Duke de San Lorenzo exhibited a frankness, a loyalty, and a firmness, which would accord ill with dark and underhand dealings. The Duke de San Lorenzo felt that theperiod was past when diplomacy was only the art of tricking and deceiving. Representing a lofty and generous nation, possessing himself a sincere love for the institutions which have regenerated his country, and have alloWed Spaniards to display that powerful intellectuality which distinguished them before the reign of Ferdinand and Isabella, and before the Inquisition, he felt that he owed it to strangers, to his nation, and to himself, to act at once with frankness and firinness.—( Constitstionnelo By a circular of the ad of this month, the Minister of War has instructed the Generals of division immediately to apprise all the officers, sub-officers, and soldiers, who have .obtained furloughs for six months, or other periods, that they must inn. mediately rejoin their corps to which they belong.

S.—The following are the latest dis Patches from General O'Donnell, Count del Abisbali who commands the troops sent against BesSieres ". In my letter of the 28th of this month, I had the honour to state to your Excellency, thatj apprehended that the orders of the Government relative to tile destruction and defence of the bridge of Atinon, on the Tagus, which the'enemy appeared to wish to pass, had not been executed in the manner which the nation expected from the importance of the position, and that I had resolved to march rapidly upon it, in order to ob tain possession of one of the points most favourable to the na tional armies. Yesterday the factious band occupied Sweden, with an effective force of 4,000 infantry, 200 cavalry, and three pieces of artillery. It also ix:copied the principal heights be ' tween the Tagus and this town. lam informed that it was expected by these advantages to secure the clothing pf a part of the division, the necessary supply for which had been plun dered front Erihuega and by imposing contributions on the neighbouring towns, which they succeeded in doihg with the pusillanimous; to impress on this unfortunate province that the army called Royalists, aides! by the .factious enemies ofii. bcrty, and composed chie fly of banditti, had the right of giving laws to the country.' "At four in the evening the before-mentioned bridge of Aunon not having been destroyed, as it ought to have been, a wretched party which appeared disposed to defend it was either cut in pieces or made prisoners. The formidable defile between Almon and this town would have been dreaded by troops less familiar with danger, bul it was taken without . re. uistance by a Guerilla of infantry. and another of cavalry ; the small number of brave men which composed these c,orps. dispersed the enemy without assuming any merit frouilhis action, which, however, deserves the consideration of his -Ma jesty. The enemy, who did not expect to be so soon diaturised in this point,- and.who was not only disposed to rest„.bot had been occupied in making dresses of the cloth in his possession., attempted to seize the key of the position covered by a company of the Cazadores of Don Carlos ; he, iu facti„matie an attack with a battalion, which in a few' minutes - *a repulsed frith the bayonet. The assailants threw aw a y thesVianns, andleft five dead behind them. • - • z frustrated in this fi rst attempt, the factious matteomother on my rig ht, which had a similar result. Being *efficiently punished, and well convinced of the velour.of the tnitips sta tioned in these points, they did not make any other attack, while, for the purpose of concentrating the troops, 'and drawing closer to my left, where, from the nature of the ground, the ca valry were stationed, I thought proper to abandon the two posi :duns which had been so valiantly defended. However, the enemy soon after occupied the strongest of these posts with 400 men, who began to show themselves proud of them acquisition; but a column of the Estremadura regiment, and a catripany of that of Don Carlos, amounting to 200 men, at whose heart General O'Daly and Don Antonio Vanloilen, recovered the post at the point of the bayonet. F rom t hi s t i me t h e enemy merely endeavoured to avail himself of the obscurity of the night to evacuate this town, and to remove, as far as nos; sible, from what threatened his existence. He abandonedfour waggons with cl o th, an d f our others with ammunition for the three pieces of artillery which he still has in his possession, and which I e x p ec t w ill cause his ruin.

As soon as the forward,br e a day break, , drata c olu mn enemy f might division has had a few hours' refreshment after the fatigue which it has suffered, all the troops will follow. On observing the gellanety manifested by the troops which I have the honour to command, I 114ve no hesitation in assuring your Excellency, that as soon as we can come -up with the factious, the artillery will not only be taken, but the whole of that horde of enemies of the liberty of the country will be destroyed. Our loss con sists of a sergeant of the regiment of Don Carlos killed ; a cor poral of the same regiment wounded ; and a drummer and a sol dier of the Estremadura regiment also wounded. The loss of the enemy I do not positively know, but the dead which have been collected are numerous ; the prisoners 62, and the arms 300. I hope that your Excellency will have the goodness to cointou nicate tollis Majesty the result of this glorious day, which doubtless will be followed by one still more glorious, if the enemy experience any. delay which may pernut me to over take him. • " Sacetion, Jan. 30.

The Commissioners appointed under his Ma jesty's warrant to inquire into the circumstances of this case, assembled yesterday morning, in the Great Hall of the Free mason's Tavern, Great Queen-street, Lincoln's-inn.tields. The Hall was divided by dwarf partitions, and every neces sary arrangement . made for the parties concerned, and far the accommodation of auditors. At eleven o'clock the Commissioners took their seats, and the Counsel for the petitioner (111 r. Fellows) and for Lord Portanumth were itntnediately called in. Sixty Special Jurymen had been summoned, of whom only a small number attended. The CoMinisition having been read, the Under Sherift'pro eeeded to call over the Jury.

There were several elections going on, and he might be 'al lotted to sit on an Election Committee; if so, it would be im passible for him to perform both duties. There were other calls upon him as a Member of Parliament equally pressing. Mr. TROWEn (the Chief-Commissioner) said, that it was most desirable to have Gentlemen of his Lordship's rank and intelligence upon this occasion; and as the present connnissien was held under his Majesty's express commands, .he did not apprehend the ground of exemption urged by the Noble Lord could be admitted. Ills Lordship in constrjuence took his seat as foreman of the Jury. Sevral other Members of Parliament urged similar topics as grounds of exemption, but they were not allow t d, and they were sworn on the Jury. It was stated that the Connuitsiouers would break up daily at four; and that in all probabilily the ineptiry would nosiest long. (if the 60 gentlemen summoned, only 20 were in attendance. The CuzxF COMMISSIONER thought it necessary to state, that the names of the gentlemen absent should_ be reported to the Lord Chancellor. .
