"M. le Ministre,—ln consequence of the decrees wh.ch appeared this morning, I consider myself called on to perform an imperative duty ; and I pray you ac cordingly to be good enough to present, for the accept- Iti,ce of the President of the Republic, my resignation of the functions of Member of the Consultative Com mission, created on the 2d December last, Though that Commission has not been consulted on any of the acts o the Executive, there does not the less exist, in the eri of the public, for those who compose it, a species of soy darite with the policy of the Government, which it Ames impossible for me henceforth to accept. I ap to your honour, M. le Ministre, and in case of necessity, to that of Prince Louis Napoleon himself, to my resignation public through the same channel as In y nomination, that is, by its insertion in the -Vonitcur. " Accept, M. le Ministre, &c., " Cm DE MONTALEMBERT. To M. de Casabianca, Minister of State." ale following letter, resigning his office of Pro ..,:eur of the Court of Cessation, has been addressed e e M. Dupin to the President of the Republic : " TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC. " I regret exceedingly that previous to the publication of the decree which 1 have read this morning in the Moniteur, you had not heard my opinion with the same benevolence you have sometimes manifested towards me. leould have tried to demonstrate to you, not merely in the private interest of the children, the greater part minors, of the late King, of whom I am one of the testa mentary executors, but in the interest of your own Go 7ernment, that those who have suggested that measure are not acquainted with the facts; and that they have disregarded all the rules of law and equity. In fact, there is en extreme exaggeration (at least to the amount of halt) in the estimate made of the property of the Orleans family. In law the decree violates in its essence the very principle of property. The right of property was recog nized, after a solemn discussion, in the person of the late King, by the 22d and 23d clauses of the law of March 2, 1832; and in the person of his children by the very acts of :he Revolution of February, by the decree of the Constituent Assembly of the 25th October, 1848, and by the law of the National Assembly of the 4th Feb ruary, 1850, promulgated by your Government, and authorised the loan of 20,000,000 on that property by your Minister of Finance. Thus; public right, will, special laws, contracts, all have recognised in the hands of the Princes of the House of Orleans their right to the property which the decree of the 22d of January deprives them of all at once, and in a mariner so absolute that the sacred rights of the tomb, the burial-ground of lireux, is not even excepted. If the Constitution of the 15th January was in vigour, the Senate might be appealed to in virtue of the 26th article, which permits that body ' to make opposition to the promulgation of laws which are contrary to the invio lable oharacter of property.' In the present state of things, the only resource is to appeal to you, Prince, and to invoke your wisdom and the magnanimity of your own feelings when they are again consulted and more deliberately listened to. But if these rigorous mea sures are to be maintained, a great scruple arises from the depth of my conscience. As Procureur-General to the Court of Cessation for nearly 22 years; as the prin cipal organ of the law in that high branch of jurisdic tion; charged as I am by the Government to proclaim the constant respect to right, and to require the reversal az I the annulling of the acts which violate the laws, or which constitute the incompetence or the ex 12es3es of the Government, how shall I be able henceforth to exercise the same firmness if acts are introduced in our legislation which are in ^oatradiction with those principles? I feel myself und, therefore, to tender you my resignation. But I ay you, Prince, and in an earnest manner, not to ,Lusunderstand my motives. The resolution I have adopted has nothing to do with politics. As Presi dent of the late Assembly I rigorously kept myself apart from parties and their fatal divisions, and limited myself to maintain, as much as I indivi dually could, the legal and moral doctrines on which the essential order of civilized society reposes. After the coup d'etat of the 2d December, against which it became my duty to protest, as I have done, I awaited the judgment of the people appealed to by you. After that solemn judgment I adhered frankly to the im msnse powers which were the result of that appeal, considering them as the strongest guarantee that could be presented to preserve or re-establish those prin ciples which a wild Socialism had endangered and maimed; and, as a public functionary, my co operation was loyally given to you. But, at the present moment, and on a question of civil right, and of private rights, of natural equity, and of all Christian no tions of what is just and unjust, and which I have che rished in my soul for more than 50 years as jurisconsulte and as magistrate, I feel myself absolutely called on to resign my functions as Procureur-General. " Be pleased, Prince, to accept the expression of my .endments of respectful consideration. (Signed) " DUPIN." PORTUGAL.

(From the Times.) "o an Englishman, English born and English bred, t: re is nothing more inexplicable than the tact of a it nation, that has long enjoyed a considerable degree of freedom, and with it a very high degree of honour and prosperity, suddenly resigning itself to a vulgar Eastern despotism. Our wonder is as great as if we a Are assured that a respectable neighbour had assigned birisself over, body and soul, to the spirit of darkness, or that one of our most distinguished statesmen had taken pay of a foreign Power. What sort of fascination cue, there possibly be in perjury, violence, and robbery? What can there be to love in half•a-million bayonets, to admire in the grossest duplicity, to approve in a rapid succession of the most arbitrary and cruel decrees, or to respect in the profanation of religion to give a false sanction to these deeds? Can selfishness be so attrac tive, and cupidity so sublime? We naturally ask what Franc e can be about to fall down and worship the brazen image with so much unanimity and zeal? But we are, grieved to say that our columns this day supply a living example of the power of tyranny to fascinate a certain class of mi n d s. The collector of the Faggot of Sticks from Francs,in the course of his rather unprofitable ex plorations, wandered into the Elys4a, and was adroitly hold of by th e embryo despot, went under his wing to a review, received his hospitalities, and came away overpowered by the condescension of a man who lived in a olace, who went about with a splendid staff at his heels, and who could review a large army whenever he pleased. Sir Francis w as evidently awestruck - by the near contemplation of semi-imperial majesty, for he already perceived the whole emperor bursting out from the presidential sleugh. Thus duly im pressed, the worthy Baronet is astonished to find, on his return to this country, that while he is surveying the rapid develop ment plot with ecstat i c self - abasement, he stands of profoundthe almost ia ra ti aloneonand inthese dignifying emotions. It i s hi s so l e `'mission" to illustr ate in his own person t h e effect of brate power on the le ss masculine hind of nndeertsetraenldly hip. In this prostra te mood he is very naturally astonished to find the press of this country venturing to speak ant about Louis Napoleon just as it speaks out about every other person or thing on the face of this earth; that i s , w i t h ou t any reserve. Acco rdingly he writes to expostulate:—How can you venture to speak thus? Are.you not afraid to p r ovoke his Imperial lia jeaty and his f a ithf u l sub j ects ? You really had better be quiet, or you w ill feel the we i g ht of his displeasure. Besides, he is the very man for France, and Heaven has doubtless sent him to restore that unfortunate country. Such is the homily which our friend with the Faggot is r:ading to us, and, through us, to the people of this couo;ry. With all due respect for imperial rial hospitalities , for half-a-taillion b' randeur, for impe ts for a sham cr, bayonets , constitution, and an oppressed nation, we beg to reply that Ne feel a still higher respect for our 9 own position as the frso press of Europe. Newspapers,• in our humble opi nion, are quite as respectable institutions as emperors, and much more 90 than a man who, having been elected to be President of a Republic, and havin gand setup szo d rn before otism God to preserve it, crushed it, may issue decrees, anot e t h s h e p e r men in its place. If one man may put forth opinions, and right opinions are remaining correctives of wrong decrees.

But, we repeat, is Louis Napo leon to have tree play for his bayonets 7 and we none for our pen? Why is he to fill our metropolis with exiles, dragged from their beds without a crime, and thrown into dungeons, and thrust at the Point o f t h e b ayonet l iz their native shores, and we to beware lest the faintest murmur of our reprobati on be heard in the streets of Par • is? If there are Napoleonist ideas, there are also British ideas. LOUIS N a p o l eo n in. THE SUN, dustriously and pointedly reverts to the status quo of 1814, desires France to forget every thing that has happened in the interval, and, his uncle having committed a murder, demands to rifle the pockets of the slain. That status quo Ass ono of aggression against the whole world, and it is vAin to deny —we wish it could be denied—that aggression has actually begun . These six weeks have already reduc ed Belgium to dependence. The Belgian Minister receives Imperial missives, and French police agents actually keep watch within sight of the Royal and . Legislative palaces of Brussels. Why are we to wait till we are touched ourselves? It is of small avail to do so. Sir Francis believes in developments; so do we. He says that self-government invariably leads to despotism. We say that political despotism invariably leads to inter national aggression. No absolute monarch in France ever was content with France, or even contented him self with extra-European conquests. By speaking out in time, and by showing that the lessons of history are not thrown away upon us, we may possibly avert the natural consequences of the French usurpation. By holding our tongues, we should be both hastening and deserving those consequences. We are no great admirers of a Republican Govern ment, but, as the example of the United States suffi ciently proves, we have more affinity with it than with despotism. The descendants of Englishmen may be come citizens, but they will never become slaves. Self government, which Sir Francis considers so fatal to order, entering largely into our own institutions, we have every reason to feel more indulgent, or rather to show more respect for the Government of February, 1848, than for that of December, 1851, for the former, in fact, with all its faults, was much more like our own. But, if the Republic has failed, whose fault is it? Sir Francis says, " Only two months ago there existed between the French and British people the most friendly relations." Under what form of government was that ? He speaks of the miser able results of that self-government which, since 1848, has been afflicting and desolating "all classes of the community." What consequences does he speak of? On the whole, France has effected a considerable improvement on the state into which, in the first instance, the revolution had plunged her. The chief disquietudes of the last twelve months, the decline of public confidence, and the mutual suspicion of classes, have arisen, not from the Republican part of the Go vernment, but from the notorious intrigues of Louis Napoleon to overthrow that part, and to do, Da tact, what he has done. To compare the troubles of the Republic with the tranquillity of the despotism is, in truth, only to compare Louis Napoleon with himself — to compare the straggle for power with the acquisition of power. But the respect with which, as Sir Francis says, we have ever treated the Republic, shows that we have no disposition to " insult" the French people. At this moment we do not believe them to be free agents, and therefore we put them out of the question alto gether. As for our insults to the army, considering that if one musket is fired in our streets the whole me tropolis rings with it for a century after, and it is re corded in monuments and stigmatized by anniversaries, the French army must not take it amiss if we cannot appreciate the massacres of the Boulevards. In this re spect we must own to a natural difference of tastes. As for our insults to the clergy, considering that the Church of France claims to be also the Church of Eng land, and at least one Parisian journal enters into our theological controversies with the most delightful free dom of remark and the most amiable indifference to English sympathies, civil as well as spiritual, we really think that it is no great impertinence on our part to notice the significant interchange of civilities and pledges between the high-minded clergy and the pious Prince President of France. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—You have lately published so many anonymous letters on the defenceless state of Great Britain, that I hope you will not deny me, who have not been insensi ble of our danger, the privilege of submitting to the con sideration of your readers a few facts, the object of which is to prevent the calamity of war, for which the country is, all of a sudden, so loudly prescribing. 1. Only two months ago there existed between the French and British people the most friendly relation:. 2. Since the 2d of December the English press has done all in its power to insult and exasperate the French nation. For instance, in the leading article of the Times of yesterday it is stated— " France has crouched before Napoleon the Second without one of the excuses which palliated her submis sion to Napolean the First. The tyranny is not only far greater, but its agents are incomparably meaner. The Church has degraded itself by an alliance with those who wield the powers of this ignoble tyranny. The army, instead of the saviour, has become the executioner of France. The middle classes are terrified, the lower orders careless and acquiescent.", 3. Now, although In my Faggot I stated, "I am firmly of opinion that, under a mild exterior, with gentle manners and a benevolent heart, Louis Napoleon is an honest, bold, highminded statesman, whose object is to maintain the peace of Europe and the real glory and honour of France," I most readily admit that ever since the 2d of December he has been acting the part of a despot; but I do not condemn him on that account, because, from calm and attentive observation, and from repeated conversations with people of the middle and lowest classes in Paris, I confidently believe f hat it is the desire of the French army, and of the French people, to establish a strong despotic government as the only means to free themselves trom the miserable results of that self-government which, since 1848, has been aillict ing and desolating all classes of the community. I be lieve that if self-government were established in Eng land, long before three years' trial of it our men of pro perty, our middle classes, and, above all, our labouring classes, would unanimously prescribe the same remedy; indeed, in the history of mankind, it is recorded that it is in the nature of a people to fly from the evils of anar chy to despotism. 4. Now, instead of insulting and exasperating the French Church, the French army and the French peo ple, by repesenting them as a gang of slaves, " crouch ing" under the tyranny of one who, by a strange con tradiction of words, is sarcastically termed " Napoleon the Little," surely the dignified course for the British people to pursue is calmly and inoffensively to watch the working of a system that must very quickly speak for itself. If the French people approve of the sayings and doings of the ruler whom by an overwhelming majority they have, under univesal suffrage and by vote by ballot, just elected, ho will remain in the Palace of the Tuile ries. If they disapprove of the Constitution he is cook ing for them, they will trot him in a police fourgon to Ham. b. But I submit that the insults which the English press are daily offering to the French Church, army, and people, are not only unnecessary, and, considering our utterly defenceless condition, highly impolitic, but incon sistent with the course t h ey b ut lately pursued. In 1848, w hen the French people, all of a sudden, determined to exchange their Monarchy for a Republic, the English press very properly, and very powerfully, preached non-interference with the concerns of our neighbours, and accordingly the French nation, without the smallest insult, was left to flourish or decay under the Government of its choice. As soon, however, as the French people resolved, all of a sudden, to abandon a republican form of Government—in short, to fly from anarchy to despotism, the English press has done, and is doing, all in its power to provoke the President, the army, and the people of France to war with Great Britain! It is with regret that I intrude upon your readers the above facts and observations, but as I have just received from Paris a letter from a stranger, who informs me he has lived there some 18 or 20 years with his family, and who states " The English press is awakening real hatred among the Parisians," I feel confident that, as it is easier to prevent war than to end it, yon will, with the impartial justice which distinguishes your journal, give insertion to this homely warning,— " Those who in quarrels interpose " Will often wipe a bloody nose." I am, Sir, your constant reader, And obedient servant, F. B. HEAD. Oxendon, Jan. 2 4. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—ln the Times of the 19th you give a list of our reserved steamers. It looks very well on paper, but how, sir, are we to man them? We are now in the 37th year of peace, and although our nursery for seamen has been diminishing in the same proportion steamers have been increasing, no Minister appears to have turned his attention to manning the navy in the event of wat. We have spent millions of money in building ships to rot, but not a f ar thi ng i n p rov idi ng a s y s t ema ti c p l an for manniug the fleet we have built.

He (Cl-,ristrnas) asked me if I felt sick, acel also put other questions to me, and at . ; er feeling my neck he told Smith that that was all he required. They both then went away. Ou the same evening Smith came again, bringing with him three powders, one of which I took, he having told me that he hal brought them from his friend. He carried two away with him, but came upon the two next days, upon each of which occasions I took another powder. They were brown, and extremely nauseous. By Mr. BROUGHTON—When he took the pc,vders away at first he said he aid so in order that they might not be seen by any one in the room, and he was afraid to trust me with them. During the fortnight I was lodging in Little Marlborough-street, Christmas came to see me every day. I had given him no reason why, as a medical man, he should have visited me, and never asked him to do so. He gave me three powders in addi tion to what Smith had given to me, and all that had been brought to me were of the same colour. He (Christ mas) wrote upon a piece of paper, "A. 8., 68, London read," and gave me an envelope, telling me that I was to post it if any pains came on. A pain did come on, and I posted it as directed, and he came to see me in the evening, when he asked me if I was afraid, and I told him I was. He sounded my side with an instru ment, and told me to go to bed, promising to come in the morning. He did come, and I told him I was in a great deal of pain. He brought me two bottles of green medicine, with directions that I should take a wine-glass full three times a day. I took the mixture as ordered. When I left Marlborough-street, I took a lodging in Little Circus-street, and while there Christmas brought to me a phial containing a red liquid, which, at his de sire, I drank, and he took the bottle away. When in my former lodging I had told him that I would take no more medicine, but he said as I had began I must go on with it, or it would be the worse for me, for if I went back to my situation a doctor might be called in, and every one would know it if I was taken ill. By Mr. BROUGHTON—Smith came to me when I was in Marlborough-street, and on the first Sunday I was there he asked me if it was " all over." I told him it was not, when he said that his friend had assured him all would be right, and that I might take a situation. Smith has, upon more than one occasion, given me money. A great deal of other evidence was gone into by the prosecutrix, and her statements were of such a nature as to leave but little doubt with regard to the prisoners having conspired together with the view of effecting the offence with which they stood charged. Whipp, one of the warrant officers of the court, said —Yesterday evening, at eight o'clock, I was with the prosecutrix, who, in Regent-street, pointed out to me the prisoner Smith, whom I took into custody, and on my telling him that he WAS charged with attempting to pro cure abortion he made no observation whatever. At the station-house he said he knew not where Christmas was, and in fact knew nothing at all about him. Whipp added that he took Christmas on the same night in James terrace, Waterloo-road. It was shown that the prosecutrix was confined on the 12th of August last at the Queen Charlotte Lying-in Hospital, New-road, and that her child lived but thirteen days Ever since her accouchement she had been in an extremely weak and exhausted condition, and for months past had been a patient in the Marylebone In firmary. The prisoners, who wero made fully acquainted with the very serious position in which they were placed, were remanded till Tuesday next. They were allowed, upon their application, to give bail, themselves in 2001, and two sureties in 1001. each (with twenty-four hours' notice), for their being forthcoming on the day above named.

At Marlborough-street Police-court an elderly Irish couple, whose faces were quite familiar to the bench, presented themselves before Mr. Bingham, to have their matrimonial differences settled according to law for the sixth time. On the present occasion Timothy Lynch, the husband, was the complainant. " Here I am again, wid me four pair of boxes, yer Kanner," said Timothy, with a nod of recognition at the magistrate, " the same honest, hardworking man that two years ago yer banner looked at, and said, Timothy Lynch, you've a bad bargain ov a wife.'" Mr. Bingham—Well, what have you to say against her now? Timothy Lynch—That she drinks wust than iver. She's got her lips all day long at the jug or bottle, excipt whin she's scoulding and blaggarding me. It's only yesterdsy she swore a big oath she'd cut out me back bone. and pawn me last pair of breeches, if I didn't fork out some more dhrink money. Mrs. Lynch—That to me, Timothy. Are you coming an axing me ony just now in court to be friends again and come home an be comfortable, for I was the best wife in all England.—(Laughter.) Mr. Bingham—Tell me why you threatened him, as he says ? Mrs. Lynch—Here's all about the row, yer wutchip—Last Sunday I got him a beautiful hot dinner, pig cheek and baked tatoes, all out ov me own honest airnings. " Come away, Tim," sis I, "and . ate your dinner." fur " Divil a bit of dinner I'll ate wid y s. o s fifty-two Sundays," sea he. "If you say that," 1if. 1 e. , ; 4 " you ought to want a dinner eve ry . day " Hear to me, yer wntchip," said ITl.Dimo°otvhuyY,ear'jumping hastily into the witness-box, andpu pulling history bundle of papers. " Hear me rade . t e ory ov me thrubbles and her charakter;" (reading from the MS., w hi c h thei following is a verbatim co py :—" Us al ofE pitats to me, Timothy Lynch : You intornle ipocrat;' ; you c ussed ould retch;" you grey-wiskered lire •' cruele willing;' and then when the drink's dyi ng lint, Tim, d e ar, I know I've been t oo b ad to y o u,so let me ha ve some mone y .'— Converstitior. wid Mrs. L." th ose Mr. extra Bing c t s ?

To blaz es wid the likes of y e ,' s ays Molly. I says, Molly, Father Hearne tells me to give you every chance to b e a to chapel. 'Father Hearne good woman, and to bring you e may go hang himself,' says Molly; an as for you, Tim I'll make y our bones rattle for that.' Moll ' y n i e sls It what the Church don't do the State will do for Queen, and her _ our grashious lady her Majesty the honorable magistrates (looking hard at the Bench), who are worthy of her confidanse, will not let me suffer from your vile conduck.' The magis trates be—' ' Hush, Molly,' says I, don't spake a word agin them good gintlemin who'll see me righted when I get you afore 'em.' " Mr. Bingham—Well, I think that is enough.

We c3n Only report, a continuance of sesEty supplies of both wheat and barley; the former found buyers at fully 23 and 3s per qr. more money than last market tlsy. Barley sold also at the advance reported in Mark-lane, and ail best malting qualities commanded 343 per qr., being made for very select samples. Beans, peas, and oats were all dearer. PER QUARTER.

Barley Peas..... 5l „ 30s 91 Oats Beans .. 40 „ 28s sd. HULL, JAN. 27. Messrs. Taylor and Bright's circular states:—The trade has been exceedingly firm during the past week, and an advance has been conceded upon all articles in the business done. Some speculative inquiry has mani fested itself for low wheats and oats, and altogether the tone of things is more cheerful, though we keep a long way astern of our Continental neighbours, who are cer tainly going a-head pretty briskly. The transactions on the Hamburgh Exchange, by our last advicee, are to a large extent at a smart advance upon previous rates. With the exception of Egyptian beans, there is not a single article of grain now on shipboard here. The market to-day was tolerably well supplied with English wheat, for which our farmers, encouraged by the ad vance in Mark-lane, were asking high rates —more than millers were disposed to comply with. However, the market was very good, at fully 2s per qr over the rates curt ent last Tuesday. More business is doing in foreign, and some of the old chambered parcels are now coming into play : some sales have passed, of low qualities, both to speculators and for export. Of barley we never knew the port so completely cleared-27s 6d (30 stones) is re fused for grinding, while malting (English) fetches fully 2s advance upon the rates of last week. Beans aro not dearer during the week, but meet good consumptive de [nand. Thr sam e remar k may app l y to peas, of which, however, the sto c k i s insignificant; the unusually mild season much curtails the consumption. With fair arri vals of linseed the market is rather weaker, and buyers get some advantage. Linseed cakes maintain their price well, notwithstanding the mild weather; indeed during the week the market has rather hardened. The port is now clear of foreign, an occurrence almost unprecedented. Nothing doing in rapeseed, and cakes only selling in re tail. A good demand for bones, but none afloat.

A little fine American white wheat sold at 2d per bushel over Friday's price, making the advance on this description since last Tuesday 3d to 4d per bushel; other sorts of wheat, and as well barrel and sack flour, were much the same as on Friday, and quoted above. Indian cora dull sale, and no change in its value. Good oats scarce, and would command ld per bushel advance.

Regent• street, and Robert Denny Christmas, assistant at the house of a lately deceased surgeon, Mr. Fairbrother, 68, London-road, Southwark, were brought up on a warrant by Whipp, the officer, and placed before Mr. Broughton, on the serious charge of having administered a certain noxious medicine to a young woman named Anne Obee, with intent to procure abortion. The investigation occupied upwards of two hours, and excited considerable interest. Proseoutrix, who had just left the Marylebone In firmary, and was still in a very weak condition, on being sworn, said—l have known Smith nearly five years, and intimacy has taken place between us, which led to my being in the family-way. Christmas is a young surgeon. While I was living in service at 3, Cambridge-street , Paddington, Smith visited me, and frequently took me to a house near Hanover-square. I had previously been servant at his father's in Blandford-street, Man chester-square, where improper familiarities took tplace between us.

The mixture which he brought to me was to be taken in four doses. I took the contents of one bottle and throw the other one away. What I did take made me vomit directly, and I felt very ill for some time afterwards. I was in good health before. Mr. BROUGHTON—When did you next see Smith?
