FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PARIS / MARCH 1.-Th e departure of Major- General Guilleminot is fixed for the first days in March. He will precede by some days His Royal Highness the Prince Generalissimo. Yesterday, before mass, the King received, in private audience, M. the Lieutenant-General 1 Count de Bridle, M. the Lieutenant-General Count d'Amb . rugeac • and M. the Count d e 1 1 / Millen, Prefect of the 'Department du Doubs, Master of Requests. .At o ne o'clock his Majes ty the transacted business with M. the Keeper of n Seals. • . , Yesterday the Duke d7Angonleme transacted business during one hour with IVlajor-Gieneral Guilleminot, Major-General of the Army of Spain. We have already stated the result of the pro ceedings in the .French Chamber of Deputies on Saturday ; but in order that all' that has passed relative to the expulsion of M. MANUEL may be before our [Leaders, we now insert the following L Report .'CFIAIIIBER OF DEPUTIES. SITTING OF MARCH I. ' .. . The Sitting opened at half-past one.--MM. de CORDIERE and de PEYRONNET were seated on the Ministerial Bench. One of the Secretaries read the proce; verbal of the Sitting of 1 yesterday, which was adopted. • The PRESIDENT proceeded to the re-organization, by ballot, of Bureaux, during which MM. de VILLELE and the Duke de BELLU No were introduced, and took their seats near their Colleagues. fr The order of the day called for the report of the CommissiOn charged to examine the proposition of Mons. the Count de LABOUIIDOXNA YE. M. the Countde LABOURDORNAYE, Reporter, ascended the tribune.-(Murmurs on the left side.) M. MECHIN-I have to observe, that there will be an incon venience in Mons. de LAROURDONNAYE being reporter of the proposition. M. the PRESIDENT-The regulation states, that " when it proposition is deposited on the bureau, it shall be sent for ex. animation to the bureau for the nomination of Commissioners, '• which Commissioners will designate a Reporter." This Re • porter has been designated by the Commissioners; he presents himself, and I cannot refuse him a hearing.-(Fresh murmurs on the left.) M. DEMARCAY.-" It is contrary to the regulation." M. the PRESIDENT-" No, Sir, for on one occasion M. Duhamel was the Reporter of a Commission charged with the examination of a proposition made by himself upon pub lic roads ; and upon another occasion, M. LaMe de Ville. vesque also made, in the name of a Commission, a report on a proposition which he had himself deposited-upon the Bureau. -(This letter related to the assignment of a tribune for the journalists.) • On the left-" We know it." M. the PnrsiDENT-If you know it, you are then aware that I cannot refuse the tribune to M. de Labourdonnaye.- , (Lively , agitation on the left side.) M. de vAnouItDONYAYE read the following report:- " Gentlemen, The Commission which you nominated to present to you a report on the proposition made to you to exclude from this Chamber M. Manuel, Deputy of the Arrondissement of Fontenay, has confided to me the task of submitting to you the result of its labours.-(3lmmurs on the left.) M. DUPONT de L'Euor -You ought to say, the result of your own efforts. ' . M. de LABOURDONSAYE (in continuation)-Tn appointing for Reporter the author of the proposition, the object of the Commission is to make known to you that its Members admit the proposition to its full extent. You know, Gentlemen, the developements of the proposition i they have been printed and distributed ; your Committee has thought that the principle of it Las not been shaken. I ought to, make known to the Chamber in what order the ( Commission thought it incumbent on them to proceed. After hiving read the speech. of M. Manuel, the Commissioners, deli. vexing their opinions MA Jurors, unanimously declared that the sentiments it contained tended to justify regicide.-( Violent mur murs on the left-" Oh, oh ! this is going too far") t M. de LABOURDONNAYE (in continuation.)-And that the last sentence pronounced by the Speaker was in its tenor so posi tive to the support of this doctrine, (Murmurs on the left) that he (M. Manuel) had been obliged to qualify it in the letter which he has writt e n - to M. th e President. M. DUPONT de L'Eu RE-" What do you know about it ?" Here Al. de LABOURDON. NAYE divided his report into three heads, and observed that M. Manuel could no longer sit in she 'Assembly without compromising . the consideration and dignity of the Chamber. He then entered into long develope. ments to prove that M. Manuel had violated his oath of a loyal and faithful Deputy, by advocating regicide ; and con. .cluded by proposing, in the name of the commission, his ex- 1 lusion. 1 Several sentences of this report, which we regret we cannot' give entire excited murmurs - on theleftside: N. the PUESIDEIer- , - , The Ohamber ordains that this report obeli be printed and published.

I demand that a report be made upon them before we come to a decision on the projet of law for granting one hundred millions required to support the said war; for, after your decision upon the supplies, a report on these petitions will be useless. M. the PRESIDENT. -.What M. de Lameth demands would postpone the continuation of the debate until after a report shell have been made upon the petitions in question ; now you' knew that the,petitions must be registered three days before any proceeding can be founded upon them.

MANUEL. From the eagerness with which the Ultras have deserted the discussion of the pro ject for granting the War Supplies, in order that they might indulge their rage against M.MANUEL, and from the passive acquiescence of the Minis ters in an intemperate proceeding which basso long retarded the completion of their financial pre parations for war, M. GIRARDIN accused them of having either made an incorrect statement, when they alleged that ,the French territory had been thrice violated, and for the punishment of which they had represented their demand of a hun dred millions as necessary, or, of being guilty of a desertion of their duty, iu not exercising their right of causing a discussion of the highest importance to be continued. But the whole conduct, both of the French Govern ment and of the French. Legislature, in rela tion to Spain,has been marked by inconsistency and folly. Thus, the Chamber of Deputies, in approv ing of the Speech from the Throne at the opening of the Session, declared that they were about to make War for the re-establishment in Spain of social order and obedience to authority.—The French Chamber of Deputies, the Champion of Social Order and Obedience to authority and the law ! —that Chamber which is itself the theatre of the most riotous disorder, and which hesitates not, however frivolous or absurd the occasion, to vio late its own regulations, and to set at defiance the authority of its own President !!! Granting that Spain is in a state of partial demoralization, yet it is evident, from the conduct of the Cortes, that the great source of public law and morals in that country is wholly uncon taminated. Spain, therefore, possesses within herself the means of self-correction, and of removing the moral taint, without the aid of foreign bayonets.—The Chamber of De. puties, on the other hand,—one of the springs of public feeling, and one of the sources of pub lic law and morality in France, seems to be utterly incapable of performing this most im portant and salutary functions. Truly, we re peat, it is not from Spain that there appears to be the greatest reason for dreading the eruption of a Moral pestilence ! - ' 60 1Nim..... [FROM A CORRESPONDENT.] STOCK EXCIIANGE, Half past Twelve o'Clock.— W e have no price of the French Funds this morn ing, on account of the Sunday at Paris, but it is re. ported that private letters were in town this morn. iris; of the above day, which state that great dis content prevails in the French Capital, also at Lyous and ,Bordeaux, which has given the French Ministry some uneasiness. It is well known that most of the great commercial' cities in France are decidedly against a Spanish War. Consols opened this morning at 731 +, at which price they are at this hour, with little or no busi. ness doing.—ln private accounts from Madrid, it is stated, that final operations will not be ready' until the middle of April, when the Spaniards ex pect to have 200,000 men in the field, with 50 Guerilla Chiefs, who are each to command a band; and in case of an invasion by the French, which is expected at Madrid almost to a certainty, they will be joined by MINAIi troops, and enter the French territory. We understand that a great Spanish Grandee (now in this country,) has al ready given instructions in case of an invasion by the Freud), not to leave a stick standing on his Estates in Spain, as the Spaniards are determined as the French advance, to destroy every thing in the progress. Fottriort ARK ET.--tn the earlier part of the morning Spanish Bonds were on the rise, with a brisk Market, since which they have declined, opened at 34, fellAo 294. Last night, in the House of Commons, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER brought forward his Resolutions for assigning five millions annually for the redemption of the National Debt, and for placing the Sinking Fund under new and im proved arrangements. The Resolutions were all adopted by the house. Leave was given to bring in a Bill for amend lug the Act against combinations for raising wages, which we hope will lead to the repeal of all those features of the present Combination Laws that prevent the working classes from re sorting to any peaceable means of improving the value of their labour. We have always thought that the present Act is unjust in principle ; and viewing industry, or labour, as the property of its possessors, it is evident that it is placed under se vere penal restrictions from which all. Other pro perty is exempt. it i s moreo ver the true interest of all classes, and a w i se an d beneficial p o li cy f or t h e State, that labour should be liberally remune rated. The country requires enlarged markets for productions of all kinds, or a facility of consumption adequate to its prodigious powers of production ; and every advance of wages, therefore, by directly bringing an increased amount of wealth into circulation, would be found equally ad vantageou s for the lab ourer, t h e landowner, the manufacturer, the capitalist, and the revenue, FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

BALL DRESS.—Round dress of amber coloured crape, a puckering of gauze of the same colour at the border, finished by rouleaux, wadded very full of whi te . hat i n , with full blown white roses, and a few leaves of green foliage: under each rose is an antique ornament of the rosace kind, composed of white satin, with a tuft of amber in the interior. The body of this beautiful dress is of satin, and is elegantly diversified by white silk cordon and tine blond; the front of the bust is finished by a narrow falling tucker of blond ; and the shoulders ornament. ed by bows of white satin ribbon. The sleeves are whit e , an d are trimmed to correspond with the skirt, except that the flowers are left out, as an unappropriate and troublesome trimming to that part of the dress ; they are, therefore, finished by the rou. lcaux in points, with the r maces in the centre of the sleeve, in. circling the arm. The hair is, arranged a la Sappho ; and round the besbrian braid at the back part of the bead, is placed a wreath of full blown roses and laurel leaves. The ear-rings and necklace are of tine pearls; the ear-pendants superbly sett, Stuns of white satin, and white kid gloves. POETRY. FRIENDSHIP, By Mr. STOCKDALE HARDY FRIENDSHIP ! why what is a friend P One who soothes another's woo, And strives to cheer, The desart drear, Which once in beauty smird, And many an hour beguil'd, When blest with those we lov'd below FRIENDSHIP ! can'st thou e'er be cold P Can'st thou lose thy genial heat ?. Can'st thou ever, From thee sever Those who bent with cares and grief, Stand in need of thy relief, And ask, assistance at thy feet ? FRIENDSHIP ! can the Widow's tears, Can the Infant's lisping pray'r, Unheeded be, By one like thee, Where once affection's Cheer'd a faithful Husband's toil, And dwelt with pleasure there? Oh, no ! in gloomy times like these, Thy social influence thou wilt spread, The. tortur'd mind thou'lt strive to ease, The Widow cheer—the Infant lead.

Mr. MAcat.tny performed the part of the gloomy hero of th,• piece : it very well cor. responds with his usual style of acting, anti his performance altogether was impressive. ---Mr. C. KEMBLE has always been admired for the gal lant spirit which auimated his assumption of Faulconbridgc, and that spirit was brought for ward last night with unabated energy.—Mr. BENNETT, who had previously appeared at this Theatre in the part of Richard the Third, was the Hubert on this occasion, and he represented the character so well as to prove that he is likely to hold a very respectable situation ou the London Stage. Mrs. OGlLvie had been announced as the intended. Lads Constance, but the part was sup ported by Mrs. PAM; who was not wanting in energy. We did not hear that any explanation of the change had taken place. Surely, how ever, the want of explanation was a want of due respect to the audience, many of whom might Purposely attend to winless the performance of Mrs. OGILVIE, as she acquitted herself very re spectably in Queen Catherine. The house was well attended, and the audience seemed to be very well satisfied with the general merits of the representation. AMERICA.

The following lettter as far as it refers to the conduct of Mr. O'MEARA, confirms the observa. tions in The Quarterly Review, respecting his professed devotion to BUONAPARTE; and, at the same time, his intention to collect every anecdote which he might transmit to this country, in order to promote his own' interest. Mr. FINLAISON also confirms the statement in The Quarterly Re. view, of Mr. 011/IEARA having revealed circom. stances of an indelicate nature, relating " to the French Ladies and others," who probably ra ere his Patients!!! TO THE EDITOR OF VIE SUN. 30, Craven.street, March 3, 1323. Sin—Mr. O'Meara has yiublished a letter in the British Press, and also in the Morning Chrenicle, in which my name is introduced with those of Lord .'Melville and Mr.'Craker, in I% - way which renders it necessary that I should lose no tinit in stating the facts as they really occurred. Mr. O'Meara having been long an acquaintance of mine, we kept up an occasional c o r res p on d ence , an d i n t h e month of July, 1815, I received a private letter from him giving several particulars relatlie to Buonaparte and his suite. Some ex pressions in this letter led me to doubt the propriety of enter taining a correspondence bf the nature offered me by Mr. O'Meara, without the authority of my official superiors. I there fore thought proper to communi ca t e t h e l etter to M r. Croker, who declined authorising such a correspondence without con. sultink, Lord Melville. His Lordship, on being referred to,' said that he saw no reason why I should not receive the let, tern which Mr. O'Meara might choose to write to me, and thit it even Might b e a dv antageous to h ear f rom an impartial and near observer the 'situation of Buonaparte and his suite j but in order that no duplicity should be practised on Mr. O'Meara, I was desired to apprise him that his letters would be seen by the Ministers. I presuMe that Mr. O'Meara could not have re. ceived this answer from me before he wrote again a letter in the same style as the find, but soliciting my friendship towards get. Ong him confirmed in the situation of surgeon to Buonaparte, and stating as an inducement to my doing so the following reason : " It is my intention to collect every anecdote I can from Napoleon and those about him, and perhaps my being near hint might not be of disservice to Government, especially if he en. tertatned thoughts of escape ; at least my being constantly near him would probably lead to a discovery of any plans he might hereafter project." I quote this passage to shew that I was not authorised to originate any proposal to Mr. O'Aleara to give intelligence re lative to Buonaparte, and did not in fact do so, but that the proposition came voluntarily from him. When I received Mr. O'Meara's letters I handed them to Mr.'Croker who had them copied fo r th e p erusa l o f 31i n i sters, with the omission only of some occasional passages of an hide. licate nature (some of them reflecting on the French ladies and others), at which Mr. Croker expressed to me has disapproba.. don, and refused to permit any such passages to be copied. It is right to add, that there were several of those letters, particularly towards the last, which Mr. Croker did not set, owing to his occasional absence ; some of them also I mysel:' never read; but the greatest part, if not the whole of thi s cor , respondence, is preserved, and may be referred to if necessary. 'Mr. O'Meara having stated in the latter part of his letter that I oll'ered him the lucrative situation of surgeon of Green, wick Hospital, I beg leave to state, in the most distinct man. ner, that I never was authorised to make any such proposition, and that theretbre it is but fair to presume I never could have done so. I think it only my duty to Lord Melville and to Mr. Croker to state, that neither of them ever Nu w any of my letters to Mr. O'Meara, and that they cannot therefore be responsible for my expressions. Mr. O'Meara must be aware that I was not in the situation of being an " amanuensis" to • either of them. No doubt I should have paid more attention to my language it s I could have foreseen that notes thus written in Ole confidenc4 of private friendship were to be published without'my consent, ' ' • I am, Sir, • Your most obedient humble servant, JOHN FINLAISON.

A private Letter from St. Petersburgh, dated the 4th February, says, that in the Commercial • world, complaints are still very prevalent, owing to the dulness of trade. The consequence is, tie' diminished circulation affects the quantum of ready money ; and credits are by no means easy as they were wont to be. The manufacturing interest especially suffers the demand has so sensibly decreased, within the last few months, that several of the great fabriques have found it necessary to dismiss from one third to one half of their workmen. In addition to all this, the poll. tical horizon is far from presenting a flattering phasis at the present moment, It is believed that the following are the new Episcopal arrangements In Ireland I—Dr. Alexander, Lord Bishop of Down, is to be outdated to tint Diocese of Meath, in the mom of the deceased Prelate.
