CHAMBER OF TIEPUTI E s NG Or Dec: Tn the Sitting of the Cliamhyr of , Deputies this day, the Order of the Day called for the discussion of the six-twelfths. After a long and interesting debate, six-twelfths were granted, and all the in _direct Taxes, till the promulgation of a new Law of Finance The third dcticle -for opening a pro visional credit of 200,000,000 f. was also adopt ed. Upon the get. , :ral question of passing the entire law, the Chamber divided-185 for it, and 17 against it. Chamber adjourned till Monday. The Funds on Tuesday, private letters say, opened at 66, and left off at 65 f. 45 c. ; but as the Baron Louis, as Minister of Finance, had de tertnined upon the immediate sale of the Royal Forests, the produce of which worild be applied to the purchase of reptes, it was calculated that Le would thus purchase from 10 to 12 millions of rentes. Stocks had risen to 67. Poets, Dec. 29.—The King continues to hear 111,ss in h,s aparrn►ents, hut the state of his Ma jesty's health is improving. The Diike de Richelieu was much better yes terday. Two shocks of earthquakes were felt at Modena early in the present month. A more violent shock was telt ar Reggio, and in the mountainons part of that pr ovince. At Parma the Sit Me phenome ►non took place on the Bth inst., ft: seven P. M.- The n•zt evening at six there was another shock, so violent that it lasted from seven to eight se- coudq, and the alarm became genet al : no other accident, hilwever, occurred, except the titling of some chimnies: the parish Church of Arola was partly thrown down by the same shock, and two persons were killed by the fall of a roof.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. [7'he Times.] NEW :'RETCH MINISTERS. The following are all the particulars which we ace at present able to give respecting the four new Members of the French Ministry : M. DessoLLEs, Peer of France, was, in 1814, Commander of the Nat ional Guard of Paris ; when be conducted himself so as to acquire the perfect confidence of the King!, and was raised to the Peerage in Jun e of the same year : he is a Lieu tenant-General of the armies of France, a Knight of St. Louis, e nd Grand Cross of the legion of linnotir, and was, previous to his present exalt a. tint), a Member of the Privy Council, and a Mi• sister of State. M. de Serre was President of the Chamber of Deputies during the last Session, and was within four votes of obtaining the same dignity this year; he is a Knight of St. Louis, and of the Legion of liOnonr, and was, before his new appointment, one of the Connell of State, and a Member of the'Coinmit►.ce of Legklation. M. Louis was Minister of Finance in . 1814, being one of the AdministrAtion of which M. Tal leyrand "was at the head : he is a Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour, and a Member of the Chamber"of Deputies; he was also a member of the Privy Council, and a Minister of State. M Portal is an Officer of the Legion of Ho-, nottr, and a Men►her of the Chamber of Deputies; he has also been one of the Council of State since May, 1814, and has been, for two .years past, in trusted ►virh the Direction of the Colonial Branch in the Department of the- Minister of Marine,. over the whole of which he is now appointed to preside.' Extract of a Letter, dated Buenos Ayres, Oct. 5.—" The arrival of the Trinidad transport, form ing part of the expedition from Cadiz, in the Ri ver Plate, is already known to you; that vessel was received in triumph by the people of this city. It appears, however, that the commotion which led to the separation of that vessel from the rest of the squadron, was the. work.of ,26 persons only, and that the remainder of the troops on hoard, amounting to 200, - hesitate at jotning the Independent cause. New ►ljfferences have arisen between this place and Santa Fe, whither we are marching between 2 and 3000 turn, and we greatly fear a repetition of the bloody scenes that took place there about two years and a half ago.— Our finances, as "yon may have heard, are not in the most flourishing state. The Supreme Director, Poerrydon, recently issued a decree, imposing a general contribution in aid of the exigencies of the State, from the operation of which even the resident English merchants were not exempted. This class of persons, hoWever, feeling indignant at the measure, ap pealed . torthe protection of Commodore Bowles, • and resisted payment. Commodore Hawks espoused the cause of his countrymen so warmly, that he declared the port to be in a state of block ade by British ships, and actually detainee! some vessels in the eon tillee to the harbour ; the Eng lish merchants firisfly succeeded in their object, hwitg Ii it is not precisely known in what manner the diderence was settled."--(lbid.) [Morning Post.] THE DUKE OF XVELLINGToN —Very erroneous ideas are e'►terrainetl respecting the tvealth ac quired by 'our illustrious Hero. It is welt known to all leading military men, that the Duke's al- Ilowance amounted only to 6000/. per annum.— His expencei, except when in Paris, greatly ex ceeded his income ; and at Cambray, where lie kept open house to all who chose to join in the sports of the field, they were enormously great. It is true that .500,000/. (the aivarl of Parlia mem) appears:a great sum ; but when we con sider that 263,000/. goes to Lord Rivers, these is then to ht. built a magnificent palace, which will swallow up the greater part ot the residue. As to the services of plate,the one from Yo; ugal takes the lead, and even that—what is its intrinsic value It abounds with ornament, and the scnlphire is rely beautiful; but as to solid worth, it is incon. siderahle. As to the story ot the pictures, it is a fable. Exaggeration has extended their value to bet ween one and two hundred thousand pOunds. His Grace has few pictures of great celebrity; and not one of those whick he rescued front the fangs of Joseph Buonaparte at the battle of Vit toria ; the Usurper had stolen them from the - Escurial.--A Gentleman, very likely to . be well informed, asserts that the Duke of Wellington's income, when all his affairs are arranged will not exceed twenty thousand per annum.—We noticed in our paper, in 1816, the pictures above allotted to; when they were exhibited at the Hon. Win. Wellesley Pole's house in Sa►ille-row, to the Prince Regent, the Duke of yolk, and his Ma jesty's Ministers. Since that period, we have reason to believe, they have been restored to the Spanish Monarch. The Bank of England,it is siid, refused yesterday to discount Bills accepted by the first Bankers. The c 'rciiinstance, it is added, has occasioned a good deal of sensation in the City, and is ki,ked upon Ati a strong indication of an approaching retort) to cash payments, in anticipation of which, the Bank, it is suppos ed, feel it necessary to restr a in their issues. —“bid.)

The Moni4ur of Wednesday last arrived by ex press yesterday afternoon, containing the New Ministerial Arrangements finally agreed upon at Paris. It will be seen that they differ in some degree from our statement, M. de CAZES not being exac'ly Prime Minister, but from the in fluence which he has exercised in the formation•of the Ministry, he may probably be considered as in reality the Premier, the presiding geniuls at the Government. The person who nominally suc ceeds the Duke de Ilicitstisu is the Marquis DESSOLLES (M. JAUCOUNT), a friend of TALLEY- R AND, with whom it has been already stated M. de CAZES had formed a junction, in order the more effectually to establish an admini stration founded on his own views and opinions. The Count de CAZES is appointed Minister of the Interior, giving up his former de partment of ,the Police, which is suppressed ; the Marquis DESSOLLES, Minister for Fo ' reign Affairs, and President of the Council of Ministers ; M. de SERRE (President during the last Session of the Chamber of Deputies), Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice; the Baron PoterAt (Member of the Chamber of Deputies) Minister of the Marine ; and the Baron Lours, (Member of the Chamber of Deputies) Minister of Finance. It will thus be seen, that the four who retire, are the Duke de RICHELIEU, the Count Mots, MM. LAINE and ROY, who are in the usnal form appointed Ministers of State and Members of the Privy Council ; a sort of nominal honour conferred upon Ex-Ministers, to shew that they do not retire in disgrace. M. GOUVION ST. CYR, not being mentioned, we suppose remains in office as Minister at War. In the Sitting of the Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday, the Projet for gran t ing t o th e G overn . ment six-twelfths of the taxes, for the service of the year 1819, was, after some debate, agreed to by a majority of 185 to 17. The above details, as we have already stated, are taken from The ilioniteur of Wednesday, which Came yesterday afternoon by express, and of which there Was only a single copy in Town. We have this moment (12 o'clock) received in regular course the above-mentioned ilioniteur, and the other Papers of Wednesday. There is no- thing to add from them to the official announce tents of the new Ministerial Arrangements. The Debate in the Chamber of Deputies on ►Tuesday is given, hut the lateness of the hour of course precludes us 'from doing more than merely stating an outline of it. M. DUPONT de l'EuttE, in a Speech of some length, objected to the continual proposal of Provisional and Temporary Projets, and moved an amendment, substituting three- twelfths for six-twelfths. The Baron 'le CA;ELLEI4, Commissaire du Roi, defended the Projet, on the ground of its indispensable necessity. M. de CHAUVELIN proposed the adjournment of the discussion till Wednesday, on the ground that sufficient time had not been given for the consideration of the Report of the Com- mittee. Several voices from the left side call- ed out for the support of this proposition, and some, raising their tone, said, " 'Thursday.••-- • The question was put for an adjournn►ent till Thursde►y,wl►icb was negatived. Some disordertl►en ensued, in consequence of a loud cry for putting the question for adjourning the discussion til l Weduesdoy. At length the previous question was moved, which, on being put, was carried, and the question of adjournment was thus dis posed of. M. DR VILLELE then spoke in favour It the Projet ; as did also M. COURVOISIER. After bearing M. Roy (styled Minister of Finance in he report of the debate in the Moniteur, though he same paper announces, by the appointment of ►is successor, that he is no) longer in office), in &your of the Projer, the previous question was moved, to get rid of the proposition of M,DUPotir de l'Euae, and which being carried, that propo. sition of course fell to the ground. The three articles were gone through, and the whole Pro jet agreed to upon a vote, as above stated. The Chamber then adjourned till Monday next. We have omitted to mention, that the Paris Papers of Tuesday arrived last night,' from which we give a few extracts in another column, along with the official documents, &c. from The Moniteur of Wednesday. The following are some further extracts from the Journals of Wednesday " PARIS, DEC. 30.—His Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester, accompanied by Sir Charles Stuart, the English Ambassador, had the honour of being presented yesterday, to the King. }Ai* Royal Highness then paid his respects to the Princes and Princesses . of the Royal Family. " The King received immediately afterwards the Russian Ambassador. " The Duke de Richelieu is still seriously ia— disposed. "'lke King bas accepted the resignation of the Baron la Bouilleric, as Under Secretary of State in the Ministry of Finance. " General Alix, included inr the second list of the Ordonnance of the 24th of July, has ob.- tained permission to return to France. FIVE PBR CENTS. Tuesday V 651. Aiie. DEFFRAED STOCK.

The extraordinary evens of the sudden cbatigle in the French Ministry, which is now abundantly confirmed, is the principal topic in the political circles of Country, as well as in France...—. Differences among themselves appear to be one of the chief causes of this iniexpected measure,. but there are, doubtless, other reasons, not less operative, though less ostensible. The:ominous return of TALLEYRAND to Paris, his known subs . fiery, and total disregard of all moral principle, though formerly a liu.ister of the Church, and his insatiable ambilion, naturally point him out as likely to have been actively concerned in those p►►litical intrigues which have effected the downfal of a Ministry that kept the various Factions under restraint, and seemed to have the confi dence of tie Monarch and the good opinion of the people. But this striking event, and others of a more serious kind that may be expected to follow, we cannot but consider as the natural re— sult of that hasty and impolitic measure, the withdrawing of the Allied Army from France, when it was evident that the Country was in an unsettled state, that it was torn by factious, an anxious for the min of each other, and that the embers of the detestable Revolution were still in a smouldering state, and not wilikely , to burst forth into destructive flames. We are far 'ront blatniag the British Government for hay- ing concurred in that dangerous measure. No doubt our Ministers had well weighed the subject, and had, as we are,lndeed, confidently assured was actually the case, urged their objectio ns with zest and firmness.—But as the Continental Powers were more in danger than ourselves, if they were satisfied that the measure could be adoUpted with . safety to their own interests, it might 'have been deemed obstinacy in the British Government to retuse its assent. However, a short period will de— velope matters more fully, and we confess tbat we fear the worst, particularly as men have been suffered to return to France who ought to have been driven from every country' in Europe, if pox sentenced to expiate their crimes as a proper sacri— fice to violated Justice and outraged Humanity. Tug Furms.—Consols commenced this morning at 791, arid went to 79i, but several of the prin cipal Brokers then began to sell for the Jew Interest, and they fell to 79k, with the Market looking gloomy. The determination to limit the Discounts at the Bank bas created general con- fusion among the Speculators. Near a million of paper was thrown out by the Bank on Thursday. THE THEATRE.—The new Romance of Flodden Field was again represented last night at Drury- Lane Theatre, and well received by the audience, who, however, on account of the inclement state of the weather, . were not very numerous.-- It is really a splendid production altogether, and being founded on a popular . Poem, and throughout well supported in the acting, will probably become very attractive on the arrival of more favourable weather. The dancing, and the processions, as well as the music, and vocal ex ertions, render it on the whole an interesting and agreeable miscellany, which is judiciously diver sified through its various scenes till the conclusion. Lord STEWART is expected to arrive in town, 'row Vienna, with Prince ESTERHAZY, the hater nylof the present mom h. Yesterda . y Mr. WELLESLEY POLE had a long interview with the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHR. QUER. In the evening the UHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER left town fur his seat at Blackheath.
