In the Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday, M. de la BouLLAYE reported trom the Committee on the projet respecting the rant through Alsace, recomusending its adoption with out amendment. The discussion oil it was tiered to be opened yesterday. The discussion was then resumed o❑ the projet respecting the Journals. The reporter replied, sopporting the opinion of the Committee. The Keeper of the Seals announced that the Government were dis posed only to require the declaration of one Pro prit.tor or Editor, and to dimini,h the amoun► of. security requi►ed for the Departmental Journals, but lie insisted on requiring the amount of secu rity as originally stated, at Paris, and in the De partments of Stine et Oise, and Seini et Marne. MM. Dausou, BENJAMIN CONSTANT, and DC CHAUVELIN, combated the principle of security, which was supported by M. SAINT AuLAtax, and the Keeper of the Seals ; M KBRATEY spoke in 'favour of the amendments proposed by th►e Com mittee. The first Article was amended by render ing it only necessary for the name of one Pro . prietor or Editor to be entered, together with the place where printed ; arid -the questions were then put as to the securities. The prin ciple of security was Areed to by a large ma jori,y (without a scrutiny), and the amount was fixed for the daily Journals in P ar i s , and the two Departments above-mentioned, at 10,000 francs of rente ; and for Journals not daily, and pe riodical Publications, 5000 francs; for daily Jour nals i t , towns of upwards of 50,000 population, 1,250 francs ; and in towns below 50,000, for daily Journals, 1,500 francs ; and for Jour nals not:daily, and periodical Publications, 7501. The discussion on the 2d and following articles, was aujoorned till Wednesday.— The following are extracts : " PARIS, MAY s.—The King yesterday received the Ambassadors and Foreign Ministers. His Ma jesty afterwards transacted business with the Mi nister of Justice, and received tf,e congratula tions of the Chapter and Clergy of Paris, on the occasion ofThe Anniversary of his return to Paris. " The second Projet respecting the }'less, and Projet for the abolition of the Droit d'Auhitine, .were comtnunicated yesterday to the Chamber of Peers by the Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice, and were both ordered to be referred to the Bureaux. One hundred and sixty-five wolves were de stroyed in the deiiartment of C3te d'Or during the year 1818.

We heartily approve of the question proposed to Lord CASTLEREAGH last night by ME. SIN CLAIR, as it was one which concerned the ho nour and justice of our . National Character ; and we rejoice in the answer which was so candidly given by the Noble Lord, as it proved that the credit of the British Government was not com mitted on she occasion. We certainly do not ap proVe of. all the arrangements made by the Con gress at Aix-la-Chapelle with respect to the dis membertneht,of territory, and we are gratified in finding (hat the Grantl Duke of BADEN was permitted - to exercise his rights, and to retain his dominions untouched, that they might descend to :he legiiitm:te line of inheritance. As this was / not a subjtct of Vir'y, but iu fact related to the character of the British Government, the inquiry does honour to Mr. SINCLAIR, vho has thus held forth to OPPOSITION an examp!e of. true patriotic tceling and public virtue, by endeavouring to support the credit of the country, independently of all personal views and political connexions. Though the loss of the ELECTORS' OATH BILL, in the House of Commons, last night, is to be regretted, inasmuch 'A its object tended towards Purity of Parliament, yet there is some con solation, as the failure has fed to an exposure of the real character of those who pretend to be enetnies of corruption and advocates for Reform. 13v neglecting to support this Bill they have thrown off the mask, and have plainly shewn' that, while they profess to be animated with public spirit, they are in fact imbued will all the pride of the old Aristocracy. Mr. WILLIAMS, who moved the question, stated the case fairly and fully. Foie observed, that the All' invaded no law of the land, but that it only supported the latv, as maintained by Judge PEMBERTON ie the tune of CHARLES THE SECOND .at Kingston, when 500 Voters were made one night previous to the Election, and since by Lord THURLOW, who was decidedly of opinion that the practice was illegal and unconstitutional. The Bill required that the Elector should be bound by oath to state, bona fide, whence he derived his right of voting; whether by burgage tenure, freehold, or freedom by descent or . marriage, and that he lied been in possession of that right for a certain limited period. By establishing such a principle upon legal grounds, to the-exclusion of all artifi cial, occasional, and temporary Voters, the basis would be laid down of all necessary Reform. No thing could be more desirable, or less exception :Ale, than such an enactment, or more consonant to the declared views of our pseudo-Patriots, who clamour for a broad, general, and undefined Re form, which they know would not be likely ever to be carried into effect, but who shrink from their duty when.a measure is proposed that will really tend to lessen Corruption, ands() a certain extent produce an essential Reform; first, in pro moting Parity of Election, and, of course, leading on towards Purity of Representation. Hence we see that the pretended friends of the People are, in fact, the real enemies of their true constitutional rights ; that they are merely actors in a political farce that they treat the country with insult and mOckery, and that while they profess to he hottile, , to corruption, they skulk from the opportunity which would enable them at least to check it, if, from the nature of mankind, It is impossible that it should be wholly extinguished. IVe insert a list of the Minority on this important and inte resting question, that the people may he able to distinguish chose who are really actuated bypublic spirit, from those who make Patriotism nothing but ct trade, and who oppose Ministers for no, other reason than the hope of seizing their places! ! ! We received this day a Letter from Chester, dated Wednesday last, stalng, that a Meeting, convened by public advertisement, was held on that day,at the New Hotel, for the purpose of preparing 'a Petition to the Legislature against the extension of Political Power co the Roman Catholics. The Meeting was very numerously attended. RICHARD GORST, Esq. took the Chair, a general unanimity prevailed, and the Resolutions proposed by this Gentleman against farther concessions to POPERY, were, after some discussion, finally adopted. We have not room at present to report the Speeches delivered on the occasion, but we are not a little gratified in seeing the respectable inhabitants of that venerable City coming forward in support of the vital interests of the Ernpit e. A Ca tholic Priest , obtruded himself on the Meeting, and conducted himself so improperly, that he in curred the general indignation and contempt (d the Company. The East India Company's ship Regent, bound to China, was struck with lightning on entering the Straits, and received some trifling damage ; she put into Batavia on die 24th November to re pair her bowsprit, and proceeded again on her voyage the 3d December.
