PARIS PAPERS. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES SITTusit) or MARCH 8. • The Sitting was opened at two o'clock. There 'were Deptatieson the ,left side; a few Mem bers were seen on the left centre. The PitEsiDEliT stated that he had - o?ceived a letter from .M. Der Pavilion, beggirq the Chamber to excuse him far not pertaking in its labours during this Session, his health not per.. mining him to quit the department. Messrs. ('amelle, Teyesere, and Rodiere, .requested leave of atieence, which was granted. The Preeideet—The order of the day is the discussion of the prirkaOSavieliilive'wthe veterans. M. Alexander tie L .aborde is to speak (" he is absent.") The President looked airiniig the Members present for those who had inscribed their names ageinst the prej . ect. He called M. 'Bristerreche, who replied in a-' faw , words , which we could not heakand which the Alembees of ,the right side likewise tom. plaihed of not hearing. The President.-31.11asterreche says, that hawing spoken on be tither law, and that being founded on the same motives, he 'refrains from taking part in the debate. The President--ii. Sebastiani is to speak. M. Sebastiani (from his place), " I spoke my opinion the day • before yesterday. I have nothing to say." The President then called M. Saglio ' who was stated to be absent ; and General Anthouard , who declined to speak ; on which he said he had called on those Members who had inscrib e erl their names to speak against the project, and who were pre sent ; he then called on General Donnadieu to speak ire favour of the project. General Donnadieu spoke as follows i_Since I inscribed my name to speak in favour of the projet, things have greatly . changed. I now desire to speak, to examine thoroughly the tonduct of the affairs of Spain. I have connected with this . subject, which has already been treated of at length in your preceding debates, all the other political considerations which have led to the situation in which we are, as well as those in segich we shall he engaged.—Every thing in this world is con vulsed ; superficial minds are struck only by the effects ; men who exanune and reflect see only the .causes. I should have said the whole truth, as it belongs to the frankness of my cha racter to say it, without fear and without hope, as I have said it on other occasions : but, from a sentiment which it ie not ne cessary to justify under present circumstances, I think it my duty to refrain from any thing that might have the slightest mark of opposition ; and the more so, as it is perhaps to this appearance of opposition, so legitimate and conscientious, that 1 owe the atrocious calumnies which have been circulated, for sonic days past, so freely with respett to me—calumnies which in other respects, have been equally lavished on my honourable "friends-infamies, it is true, to which I ought to be accustomed, - since, with lime small share of courage and talent, I have been able to render some services to the Monarchy. In such conjunctures 1 find myself doubly obliged to be silent. I de cline speaking. M. Lefebvre Gineau retiring, the President called upon him to epeak, but he declined. The Marquis De la Caze spoke in favoUr of the law. 31. Clawiel de Conssergues observed, that no argument could be adduced against this law but those which had been used against that relative to the 100 millions. The question is the same. Is the war with - Spain necessary ? Little has been said on this subject. T shall only state some facts which demonstrate that war is not to he carried on against Spain, but against a military conspiracy, which, for the interest of the conspirators alone, have endeaeoured: tos e steblish a sort of Government entirely contrary to the will and . to the 'manners of the nation ; consequently, France will be 'in this war only • the auxiliary of Spam. Allovi me some details ; it is import.' ant that they should be universally known when his Majesty's Army is advancing to the frontiers of Spain. I shall take my first proof from the acts of the Cortes themselves. While the brave Spaniarde were combating Buonaparte, some men with out any mission, Composed at Cadiz the republic Constitu tion of 1812. 'When Spain was delivered, they did not ven ture to offer this pretended Constitution to the acceptance of the towns and provinces, but ordered every Spaniard to obey it, on the pain of being deprived of all public func tions, and even of being banished from Spain. This foul per. eecutioa was not long, because the King returned. The Cortes, . however, hail time to expel from his See the Holy Bishop of ()sense, who, during nine years, had afforded hospleility to 300 exiled Frentli Priests, and who would not recognise a vio . lent and illegal act which was calculated to produce in Spain a revelation like that of France. The King of Spain, after, seven year3' imprisonment, arrived on the frontiers of his king .dons. • It would be supposed that the Cortes, who had imposed a Constitution on the nation, would at least desire to have the King's assent. No, gentlemen they decree that the King atti4l proceed direct to Madrid, without exercising any act of liortysl authority, till he shall have taken the oath to the Con atliution in the presence of the Cortes. Ferdinand, after so long an calle r finds not subjects, but absolute masters. He was as much a prisoner in Spain as in France. The whole differ ence war, that instead of the walls of the Park of Valence) , for tie bounds of his prison, he was guarded by the soldiers of e the Cortes on the great road from Roussillon to Madrid. The Notierch, however, prevailed on this guard to let him visit the feitliful and heroic city of Saragossa, which was not on the road prescribed to him. Count Torreno, one of the authors of the -Constitution of Cadiz, says in a work which lie has publish ed at Paris,. that this passing through Saragossa was already a trensgreseton of the decree of the Cortes. Title double via. lenee to the nation and the King, sufficiently proves that the Government called Constitutional, which was abolished on the arrival of the King at Madrid,. amidst the acclamations of the capital and of all Spain was but the work of a faction. A still stronger proof furnished by the attack of the Cortes on religion Every body knows that the Spanish nation is re markable for its attachment to the Catholic religion, and the • authors of the Constitution at Cadiz bore testimony to this by Art. It--" The religion of the Spanish nation is, and shall always-be, the Catholic, Apostolic, and Roman—the only ..true religion. The nation protects it by wise and just laws, and prohibits the exercise of all others." This was the uni- Verael opinion, to which the Cortes were forced to do homage ; but do we wish to know how the friends and authors of the Comeitotion *meek of it ? Count Toreno says, " The Legie lators of 1012 were obliged to pay so disgraceful a tribute to the universal prejudice." ' (P. 124.) And 'again, when the Pope refused the bulls for two Bishops appointed by the Go veretnent, a Statesman, who was well acquainted with the na tion, said, " Let the Court of Rome take care what it does it does not know that the Spanish people have so much good serve, that hi less than ten years they become Atheists." The Houeurable Member having made sonic further remarks on the self-intereetedness of the Constitutional party, proceeded to refute the notion that France designed to tub' Spain to the Inquisition and to absolute power. He stated, that Perth meet lusti resolved to assemble the legitimate Cortes, according to the ancient laws, and ordered them to be convoked for the 7th of March, 18211. The next day his palace was attacked by conspiratore, and lie was obliged to sign the Constitution of Cadiz. The Tloncurable Member then vindicated the charac ter of Ferdinand, observing, that in six-years, from 1014 to 1020, only' hree persons suffered capitally for political offences. M. Mareellus made an animated speech in favour of the law.—" The throne of the King," lie said, "is in danger, when a person of his family is a captive, and threatened on leis throne." M. Dupont, the reporter, having stated the grounds which . had guided the Committee, the project of the law who put to The vote and paeeed,.by a Majority of 231 to 15.--None of t h e Alembere of the Opposition who were present voted. There is nothime.ie the order of the day for Friday.. On Saturday the ',Bevan of the Committee of Petitions is to by heard, and that .of the Committee appointed to examine the Law of Accounts. itltoll. , rue CO I ISTITUTIONNEL:I PAIM, Mincu 7.—Yesterday evening, M. the President and the Committee of the Cham ber of Deputies presented to the King the pro ject of the law for, raising one hundred millions of francs, adopted by the Chamber in the Sitting ,of the utile day. To:day„ before Mass, which his Majesty heard in his apartments, the liinr gave a private .aildienCe to Lieutenant-Generals Molitor' and Lanusse. The last named officer is nominated to the command of the sixth milltary,division, of which Besancon is the head quarters. The Chamber of Deputies of the Departments is composed of ,430 Members.. On the call of the names on the sth instant, for the adoption of the law. of one hundred millions, there e, ere only 0 58 who voted ; 172 were absent. This day only 246 voted On the law respecting the veterans: Lieutenant-General Guilleminot, Major-Gene ral of the'Army of Spain,'set out yesterday even ing to ,join ,the army. A letter from Bayonne' anuounces, that the corps &armee under the orders of the - Coma d'Auticharnp; 14U5 marched to take post upon the 13iaassoa. The head•gaarters will 'be established at St. Jean de Luz. [FROM L'ETOILE.I PARIS, MARCH 6.--We are assured, that the Marshal Duke of Reggio will set out on the 12th for the army, and the Duke of Angoularne on the 15th instant. The criers of the Liberaux made yesterday evening a new attempt, which was attended with no better success than those they risked in broad day. About 30 individuals, actuated by a bad spirit, assembled about halt' past seven in the evening, near the gate of St. Denis. Their as semblage was sufficient to attract a- crowd of curious people. After deliberating some minutes upon the manner in which they should effect their retreat, these courageous champions of the Deputy of La Vendee began to shout" Vive Manuel !-- 1 Vive la Liherte l" A patrole of the gendarmerie attracted by the vociferations, advanced towards the group, which dispersed at its approach. The same individuals shortly afterwards assembled upon the Boulevard Bondy. The gendarmes were not slow •in following them, and the troops of the line of the post of the Chateau d'Eau be ing out in an opposite direction, the retreat of the disturbers was cut off, and some of them have been arrested. The remainder of the band gained the Boulevard of the Temple, shouting " Vive Manuel !---Vivent les Esgagnols!" atld escaped. [ream rut CONSTITUTIONNMI PARIS, MARCH, s.—The Serjeant of the Na tional Guard who refused to lay hands on M, Manuel in the midst of his colleagues is named M. Mercier, a lace-maker, Rue-aux Fers, 30. A great number .of the Deputies of the Opposi tion called at his house. Ile said to one of them I confess that, on entering amidst the Depth. ties or the nation, I was seized with a profound emotion. lt would have impossible for me to lay hands on a Deputy. I do not think that the National Guard WAS instituted for that pur pose. Moreover, patriot as I am, I_ should have refused to lay my hands even on a Deputy of the right side." It is said, that before the , Sitting yesterday, , the decision of the Chamber ha& not been noti fied to M. Manuel, either by the President, or by any of the Officers of the Chamber. It is probable that the fulfilling of this formality would not have hindered M. Manuel from going to the Sitting ; but if it was neglected, we think it was wrong, since the forms, observed in all the tribunals, cannot be dispensed with towards a Deputy. It is remarkable that, before the in troduction of the armed force, the proces verbal of the Sitting, in which that decision was adopted was not read ; and it is well known, that the manner in which it was drawn up might give rise to important observations. Neither were the re gulations of the Chamber observed, for the nine tv-first Article says, " The Police of the Chem l;er belongs to the President, who exercises, it in its name, and gives the necessary orders to the guard on duty (garde du service)." Now the guard of the Chamber is composed of the Natio nal Guard and Veterans, and it is to thbse corps alone that the President has a right to give or-. ders. We are astonished, therefore, that they were given to the gandurmerie of Penis, which is not the guard of the Deputies of the Depart ments, and is under the orders of the Prefect of the Police alone. We do not know then by whom it can have been called in and required on this serious occasion. Letters from Weimar, orFeb. 21, say,---" That the celebrated Goethe was dying. Be is 78 years of age." PAats, MARCH 7.—ln the Sitting of the Cham ber of Peers yesterday, the President of the Co'uncil of Ministers presented the project of Law adopted by the Chamber of Deputies, rela tive to the eventual credit of 100 millions for 1823. The project will be examined on Saturday, in the bureaux. SPAIN. BAYoNxv, MARCH .—The bustle in our city and neighbourhood is really extraordinary. The new corps of troops which successively arrive from the interior, the great number of persona employed in all the branches of the army, the crowd of officer* of the Faith and of Spanish emigrants ' who flock hither from the frontier provinces of Spain, have con siderably ,1 raised the price of provisions, and made it very diffi cult to find lodgings. Independently of the reinforcements which the division of Count d'Autichanrp has received within this month past, bath in old troops and conscripts, and the total • force of which is estimated at 14,000 or 15,000 men, orders have been given to receive between the let of March and 15th of April, many other Regiments, amounting ; .together to 16,470 • infantry, and 3,991 cavalry. The army which is now collect. ink in the Lower Pyrenees may therefore be estimated at 35,000 or 36,000 men. The artillery, including that at Orthes, Dux, and St. Jeun-Pied-de-Port, consists of 1 60 light and 24 heavy guns. The number of waggons is 5 0 0. But few train horses have hitherto arrived at Bayonne : it Is true that the rendezvous for them is at Dux, Orthes, and Pau, where the general orga nization of the artillery takes „ place. . The Army of the Fai th of Navarre, the three provinces, and Arragon, including the division of Besaieres (according to lists furnished by the Spanish Generale who are here), amounts to` 15,000 men ; to which must be added an equal number who have been enroled in the provinces, and who wait only for arms and ammunition to join the others. It is decided that General O'Donnell shall command in Navarre, and haye under him Major-Generals Espagne and Longa, who will first make an in. cursion in Arragon ; and Quesada will command in the three Biscayan provinces, having the Trappist under him. These two last set out yesterday for St. Jean tie Luz. They are to embark at Socoafor Biscay ; 12,000 muskets, 12 pieces of field ' artillery, and a pretty large sum of money have been placed at the disponi. of O'Donnell and Quesada. The first sent yes terday 2000 muskets and 6 pieces of cannon to St. Jean Pied. de Port; and the second has taken all the necessary measures to convey his warlike stores to Soc,oa. Considering the present situation of the frontier provinces and The want of constitutional troops to oppose the designs of the Generals of the Faith, it cannot be doubted that they will succeed in raising the number of men that they reckon upon. All Spanish officers, subalterns, anti citizens able to bear arms, who are at Bayonne and its en virons, have received orders to join the army. It is observed that almost all of them choose to follow Quesada. The Con. stitutionitlists on thelaontiers are really alarmed ; many are pre paring to leave their families and their homes to join the na tional army, fearing, not the French army, but the vengeance of the soldiers or the Faith and its agenta. It is affirmed, however, that on their entrance art amnesty will be proclaimed, which tertainly will not be extended to the principal leaders of 7 the revolution. It is seriously contemplated to throw a bridge over the Bi. dialog, Ara to occupy bun with the troops of the Faith. but then all communication with Madrid or the interior would r cease. We have rot received the . Madrid mail with the letters of ' the 20th, 21st, 22d, and 23d ; but we know by expresses who have passed throli here, that the situation of the capital was , not very favour able, though tranquillity had not been inter. rupted. The Kln,cipal causes which bad induced the Kinx to ; change his Ministry were not certainly known , o nl y M. Ber tran de Lis was reproached with having been concerned in this intrigue : he has snught to justify himself by a long letter, in. serted in the Spanish Pallid in which he, however, acknow ledges having had a long audience of his Majesty on the 19th, in the evening, in which he declared to his Majesty that the, , Ministers, though devoted to the Constitutional cause, were destitute of the talents and experience requisite to save the nation in the present crisis. In fine, the division of par- ties 'in Madrid is at the heights some are inclined to the present Ministry, others would have the King set aside, and a Regency appointed ; for this purpose, on the 22d, in the evening, a table was placed in the "Square of the Consti tution, with two candles, a quire of' paper, pens, and ink, that the people .might put down their names; the table was guarded by a tletachnient of cavalry, and various persons were busy in drawing attention ; but the object failed, and, in general, the whole business was ridiculed ! The King, on his part, when the decree of the Cortes was presented to him, relative to the removal of the Govetnment and the Royal Family to the place which should be fixed by the Military Committee appointed for the purpose, (that is, in case of real danger), answered, that he approved of this very wise resolu tion, but did not yet see the necessity of it, and that it would only be all'ording foreigners a pretext to say that the King was not free. It is well to know that there is a plan at Madrid to prevent the removal of the King, which may succeed if the Ministry have not'sufficient strength to baffle it. It was Lord Aithrie, son of, the Earl of flopetoun, who lately passed through Bayonne, coining from Madrid, and not Lord Fitzroy Somerset, who has not quitted that capital. An express received yesterday evening, by the Comninee of the Faith in this city, positively states, that Bessieres was on the 25th ult. at Soria, and that the greater part of his division was proceeding towards the Ebro, in the direction of Etudel, Alfaro, and bogrono : lie has sent the most pressing orders to collectimmediately on the banks of that river all the troops of the Faith that could be disposed of. The member of soldiers under him is considerable, for lie brings with him 6,000 con scripts;-besides his division, which is 6,000 strong. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF COMMONS.

By the Turkish mail, which arrived this morn ing, letters have been received from Smyrna, dated on the 22d January, from Constantinople, dated on the 25th, and from Zante, dated on the 24th of the same month. The news re ceived through these channels is exceedingly favourable to the cause of the Christianaln the Mores, and amongst the Grecian islands. An English brig of war had arrived at Zante from Missolonghy, bringing the information of the entire defeat of the Turks in that neighbourhoOd, and holding out hopes of their speedy destruction either by famine or the sword. Nine Greek vessels of war were cruizing off Patras, and rendered the supplying of the Turks with provisions impracticable.— , Thirty vessels, loaded with all descriptions of necessaries at Alexandria, had put into Zante, finding it impossible to land their cargoes any where in the Morea. A merchant at Zante had also loaded two vessels there for Yams, but they were captured by the Greeks, and sent back to Zante, as it was their first offence. Application was made to the Governor for assistance, but he refused to interfere, and gave orders to the Senate to grant ito.triore passports for those places in the Mores which were blockaded by the Greeks. One thou sand dollars were given'to the Commander of an Austrian brig of war at Zante, to convoy an Austrian ship and a trabaculo to Patras; the Greeks, however, had early information of this transaction, and the three vessels were intercepted. The Com mander of the brig of war, having stated that lie was going to Patras on thebusiness ofhis Government, the Greeksoffered him permission either to go ashore in his boat, or to take his vessel into that place, provided that the military stores and provisions with which she was loaded, for the use of the Turks, were first taken out of her. This, however, did not suit his purpose, and . he returned to Zante, where he encountered the angry feelings of the inhabitants, who expressed great Indignation at conduct so unworthy of an officer, and so widely difKrent to that (as they expressed tl.emselves) of the Lords of the Ocean. Capt. Plorio, who commanded the merchant ship, was petmitted to return, having a good character, and this being his first offence; brit the Trabaculo was confiscated, because she had frequently been employed in similar illicit voyages, Patras and the Castle of Corinth were both closely invested, and their submission was soon expected. The garrisons were very sickly, and in short the cause of legitimate barbarity is in a desperate state in the Aimee, and the world is likely soon to be so unfortunate as to witness a ray of light again shining ftorn Classic Greece, and shedding the calamities of knowledge, of civilization and happiness amongst mankind. His Majesty's ship the Cambrian, Captain Haim trox, had arrived at Smyrna, with about 500 of the garrison of Napoli di Romania on board. This place was carried by storm, on the night of the 12th of December, but plater was grantee: to those who did not offer any resistance. The Grecian arruf was however so much irritated at the cruelty and treachery with which their hostages had on a former occasion been butchered in this city, that their General found It necessary lu request the assistance of Captain Tie st tier ox, to protect the prisoners, and to enable him to fulfil the terms into which he had entered • with them, and accoidingly 500 of them were ernbeiked into the ship, and the remainder into Greek vessels to . be landed at Sealanova. On the arrival of the Cambrian at SMyrna, some excesses were committed by the inhabitants, and as usual se veral Greeks fell victims-to their barbarity. The Pacha and ' Government, however, interfered and prevented 'further enor mities. Upwards of 2,000 of the garrison of Napoli di Ronia nia perished of hunger previous to its fall, anti human misery had reached its extremity in that place. The disgraced and fit lithe Turkish fleet, consisting 01'71 sand all classes, had come up to Constantinople on thelfith Jan. to refit. It is not con ' sidered likely, however, that they will again put to sea because the Greeks are now decidedly their superiors on the ocean. It was expected that an attempt Would be made by Lord ST RANO roam to get the Mores and. Islands placed under regulations si milar tothose in Wallachia and Moldavia, securing to the Chris tianp their own institutions and the enjoyment of their industry, andleaving only a nominal superiority to the Ilrother of the Sun and Moon over his rebellious Christian subjects. Be this as it may, the Greeks have nearly conquered their independence; and they have supplied the want of iron and of gold with gal lant hearts and determined devotion. They have overcome the blackest tyranny which ever blasted the peace of mankind.— (Morning Chronicle.) DISTURBANCE AT MAttsEtraxs.—There have lately been some disturbances at Marseilles, where, as well as in other parts of France, there appears to be a latent fund of irritation and discontent. Some young men had made arrangements fur a ,masquerade on Ash Wednesday. The magis trates at first gave permission, but afterwards withdrew it. They consequently, gave up the masquerade, but thought that they might indulge in a promenade, which they had intended to make a part of their fête. For this purpose they set out on horseback, but had not proceeded far before they fell in with a procession of priests. The cavalcade, it seems, did not give way with sufficient promptitude, and the mayor interfered in favour of the monks and missionaries. Several of the young men were arrested, and five of them, who are sons of respectable merchants, weve cited before the Court of Correctional Police. They accordingly appeared in the Court on the 26th of February, dressed in black, with white gloves, and accompanied by a great number of their friends in the same costume. The Court filled rapidly ; but in consequence of a complaint made by the king's Advocate, that there was disturbance in the hall, the President ordered that the trial should take place with closed door, and adjourned the proceedings until the ; following day. This decision caused great dis satisfaction among the audienee. Next day an immense crowd attended, and occupied all the passages leading to the Court. When the post for Paris left Marseilles on the 27th, the greatest anxiety prevailed for• the result of the business of the day. CONFESSION OF MUltDr.n. — An Irishman of the name of Morgan Royle l or Riley, was brought up to the Public Office (Birmingham), under the following circumstances: — He (Morgan), ap parently stricken with remorse, came to the reso lution of giving himself up to justice, and for this purpose he went into the watch-house of this town, and stated to Simms, one of the night constables, that a reward of IoW. was offered for his apprehen sion; that hewasconcerned in an affray in the County Down with some Orangemen; that both parties were armed, and both fired, he (prisoner) among the rest. One of the Orangemen was wounded in the knee, of which wound he died. Pri soner's companions fled. Ile had been advised to go to France. Ile willingly gave himself up, and was ready to meet his fate. They called him Rough Royle.—(Birminghain Chronicle.) The' Left and Left Centre of the French Chamber of Deputies continue to absent them selves from the Chamber; or if some few attend the deliberations, they neither take part in the discussions, nor vote on the projects which are brought to a decision. The Ultras, therefore, carry every thing their own way within the Chamber ; but, without, the violence and injus tice which they have committed, the headlong fury of their zeal for the invasion of Spain, the act of disobedience by the National Guard, and the alarming opinions so solemnly promulgated in the Declaration and Protest of the sixty Mem bers of the Chamber who have apparently se ceded from the exercise of their legislative func tions, must have produced a revulsion in the public mind exceedingly embarrassing to the Government, and calculated to result in a most formidable explosion. The preparations for war, meantime, are ap• parently carrying forward with vigour ; but under the actual circumstances of France, it is impossible N ith any accuracy to infer ulterior consequences from present appearances ; and in twenty-four hours new necessities and new mo- tives may arise to set probabilities at defiance, and to bailie the best formed calculations. We begin to be. of opinion that if hostilities should eventually break out, it will be Eng land's best policy to adhere to neutrality as long as possible,—that is, unless some direct outrage offered to herself should render it indispensable that she should become a principal in the war, on considerations entiioly British. We are nt pre- sent inclined to this opinion, however, from a view of the question very different from that which has hitherto been taken by any of the advocates for our neutrality, and which it is proper that we should submit to the Pub lic. The following are some of the consi- deratious that appear to us to deserve the atten tion of Government and of the Country :-- 1. That from the recent occurrences in France, and the consequent distrust with which the French Government must regard, not only the National Guards, but also in some degree the troops of the line, the energies of France in an anti-national and unpopular war may be COn• sidered as in a great measure paralyzed' while the vigour, on the other hand, with which Portugal is preparing to s upport the Spaniards in their resistance, brings a gre at accession of strength to the defetp , i% e party in the contest. '2. That under these circumstances, pardce larly those which relate to the state of public opinion in France, the Peninsula may be con. sidered as fully equal to its own defence *141'4 France, if the latter Power be single.handedin the conflict. 3.
