0 ,,t the case, no such thing having ever been dune.—{Here much confusion took place from the applause of the Baronet's friends, and the hisses of the other side. The Honourable Baro net attempted - several times to speak, but in vain, as his voice was drowned in the cries of " off, off; no turncoat, &el—Silence being to it tolerable extent restored, he said, he trusted the Electors ,would 'Mew their independence and attachment to their old friends, notwithstanding the sneers of one party, or the assumed and pre tended compassion of the other. An Evening Paper, in an unusual display of piety, bad la mented the allusion he had made to the Constitu tion bring crucified between two thieves, and bad stivitatised this an effusion of blasph'emy, for getting that behind quoted thus from the historian Ralph. •The -Hon. Baronet concluded, amidst much confusion and uproar, by expressing his confidence, that while he continued to act as he had done, he would secure their esteem and sup port, as well as that of the country at large. Air. ARMSTRONG addressed the Meeting, de daring that he had fought under the banners of the immortal Wm. i'itr, and would cleave to Sir Francis Burdett to the last, He made several at tacks on Mr. Hunt as a speaker, whom he consi dered not worthy of being listened to for a mo ment. Air GALE JONES next came forward, - and made some observations on the conduct of the Baronet. Ile was not in the least surprised at the clamour which was raised, not against'him "as a humble citizen, but to prevent the truth front being dis closed ; but then' ought to reci4lect that it would go through the country that they had attempted, by voc,feration 'and uproar, to prevent their de lnsiot►s and hands fron► being disclosed.;—(Ap plause.) At six o'clock the crowd, which was greater than we have ever seen in that place, retired in good order. LONDON JOURNALS. YRONI THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. [Morning Chronicle.] A Gentleman who arrived from Paris on Tues• day last, says, that serious apprehensions were entertained by the Pllsicians of Louis XVIII. that he was threatened with mortification in the legs. Symptoms of the kind have manifested them selves, and all their efforts were employed to avert the imminent danger. [The Times.! Captain Barney, of the Nelson, of London, bound to the South Seas, put into Bona Vista on the 4th December. The day before a piratical ship, of 16 guns, and 90 men, put in there, plun det.ed all the ships there, landed and robbed the Custom-house and inhabitants, murdered several, and then made oft. All the Morning Papers mis-stated the division on Thursday night in the House of Commons orinn M. Rennet's motion. It was, for the mo tion, Ayes Noes. 139 (not 113) [New Ti►nes.] There has lately been embarked at New York for Ilavre-de-cirace, a large Diamond, for the purpose of being sold on the Continent. It is valued at 80,000 dollars. We are informed that it heloags to Joseph Buonaparte. [Morning Herald.) THE ARCHBISHOP OF JERUSALEM. The Syrian Archbishop of Jerusalem, Gregorio Pietro Giarve, has lately arrived hi this country, a►►d has taken up his residence in Frith -street, Soho. Be is in the dress of the Apostle St. James, with the blue turban, a loose robe, &c. His long beard, and venerable and apostolic appearance. attract great notice, and excite much curiosity. NVe learn; that the Archbishop's object in visiting EngliOrd is to solicit assistance, and obtain some of the machinery, to establisd► a printing press at Mount Lebanon, for the purpose of preparing, and there distributing, correct editions of the Sacred Scriptures in the Syriac Language. Although Mount Lebanon is under the dominion of a Christian Prince, nearly all the rest of Syria is governed by, and composed of Turks. Not a few of these have lately become Christians, for the fanatic fury of their faith seems to be every day abating. To gain many, very many, from Maho metanism over to Christianity, little more seems wanting, than to distribute copies of the Bible amongst the Syrian Turks, in their own language ; but to prepare such winks has beets found here tofore generally impracticable. The editions of the Bible printed in this country, for most parts of the Bast, have, from their total in accuracy, beet► utterly useless. We believe, we may venture ,to say, willoart any offence to the' learned, that Dune but a ,native ought to attempt to be the corrector of a Syriac Press. single mistake in tl►e placing of a point, may make the saute word convey a meaning the most ludicrous, for what the author intended to be of a precisely opposite character. As the Arch bishop undertakes to be himself the corrector of the press about to be established ; and as the learned Prelate has travelled far, retying on the liberality and Christian feeling of England, we sincerely trust, that the stranger's reception here snay be such as his sacred mission and ch►►racter eminently deserve. A beautiful Black Tyger, .iticd an immense Ser pent, originally intended for the King of the Ne sherlands, has just been presented by a Gentle man to Mr. CROSS, Proprietor of the Royal Me nagerie, Exeter 'Change, as a great mark of esteem for his unremitting exertions in procuring (regardless of expence), every living productionof foreign climes. Such a continual source of in struction to the rising generation, as well as to Artists, a►s is afforded by this truly grand Deptit, far outrivals every establishment of the kind upon earth, and justly deserves every patronage that a great uatiou is capable of bestowing. We received this morning the Paris Papers of Wednesday last. The following are extracts : " CHAMBER OF DKPUTIES. " SITTING OF TUL3DAY, FEB. 16. " The discussion vas partly resumed .on the projet respecting the financial year, and again closed. " The projet was, on a scrutiny, agreed to by e majority of 132 to 100. "The opening of the discussion on the'projet respecting gunpowder and saltpetre, was post poned till to-morrow. " PARIS, FEB. 17.—Yesterday, after Mass, which the King heard in his apartments, his Ma jesty withdrew into an inner Chamber, and.trans acted business during a part of the day. " The Prince de Poix, Peer of France, Gover nor of Versailles, died last night. " M. Beanpoil de St. Aulaire was killed yes terday morning in a duel with an officer of the Royal Guards. '• A person named Membran, a native of Mo. rocco, died a few days since at Amsterdam, aged 105. " The Grand alive Michael quitted Florence the 2d inst. to proceed to Rome. FIVE PER CENTS.

" BERLIN, FED 2.—The projet relative to the reduction of our army is indefinitely postponed ; the infantry will not even be diminished, although the contrary has been positively asserted. " Zoutcu, FEB. B.—One of the greatest com mercial houses at Bale has stopped payment." • The Report of the Committee 'of the House of ,Commons, respecting the WINDIOR ESTABLISH AUNT, which will be found in our first page, must be satisfactory to the People at large, on the grOund of economy, though we confess that, if the circumstances of the Country would have admitted of its remaining on the same footing, our veneration for our beloved Monarch would have induced us to wish that nothing should be retrenched that would testify the esteem, affec tion, and gratitude, in which he must be held by his loyal Subjects. The expence to each individual throughout the Empire is too in . significant to notice. But as the pressure of the public burthens demands all practicable retrenchment, and as it is by no Means likely that his MAJESTY will ever be sensible of the diminution, this consideration ought, of course, to have weight in the question. We con fess, however, that we should have been glad if l i the Committee had not deemed it necessary to discontinue wholly the salaries of some of the in ferior Officers, and to reduce the number of menial servants, who, having been attendants on the Monarch, might reasonably expect some provision for life, and who perhaps may have no other sup port. But we trust, that the liberality, and we may say, the humanity of the Legislature, will interfere on the occasion, as indeed it is in no slight degree, connected with the dignity of the National Character. As we have given a Report of the Election Proceedings of yesterday in another place, it is not necessary for us to son meat on the white t. We may, however, notice . ti►e extraordinary intre pidity of Mr. Hoattotise in saying, because a simple breakfast was given by the friends of Mr. LAME, that it was a violation ofhhe Treating Act. Surely it required more than common courage to make this remark, but at the same time it betrayed more than common folly. Was it not publicly proclaimed, that Sir FRANCIS BURDETT at first had subscribed a thousand pounds for Mr. Hon- HOUSE—was it for treating or bribery—were not houses opened in Westminster for the entertainment of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT'S Election Mob on former occasions ?--4herefore it was egregious folly in Mr. HOBHOUSE to speak of this breakfast after such entertainments on the part of the Baronet, and in his presence also. But the Baronet wisely avoided that topic . , and contented himself with silly jokes upon Mr. LAME and his name. Among all the attacks on Mr. LAMB, though it is said that he has the sup port of Whigs and Tories, it has never been said that he had the support of Ministers, which, in deed, after the epithet he applied to them, he could not expect. Well, then, he has the support of the great body of Electors, including some of the most distinguished families, justly alarmed lest the tioatrouss Party should bring nothing but anarchy and massacre on the Country.

Pots, FEB. you seen the last Num ber of Le Nouvel Homme.Gris.? is the question all over Paris. "The Editor," Colonel ST. AULAIRE, has in it given what he calls the Statistic of the Chamber of Deputies,, The Chamber has ge nerally been considered as divided into three classes—the Ultras, the MiniSterials, and the Li berals. M.. ST. AULAIRS carries the classification still tardier. • He divides the classes of the Ultras and Liberales into two columns, the Downright Positive, and the Moderate ; and these columns again into three partitions ; so•that a Downright Ultra or Liberal has five degrees betweeu hint and the Ministerials. The centre, or Ministerials, are divided into four clasies or sections, in which the members are arranged according to the colour of their opinions. But one may perhaps be sur prised to find that these four sections do not in clude'all the Ministers ; for instance, the Baron LQUIS is arranged amongst the Libcrales, ap proaching • Ultra-Liberalism ! by the Ultra- Royalists called Jacobinism ' or Republicanism ! ! and 'NI. BeI.LART, Counsellor of State, is classed amongst the Ultra-Royalists. We wish we could see these odious distinctions disappear, and that all Would rally round the'Charter, which all in voke when it suits their purpose, but few care to follow when it thwarts their vivant! views. Were this the case, we should not hear of the dissen lions in the bosom of the Ministry, as to whether the letter or the spirit of the, Charter should be attended to ; we should not see one part of the Ministry olopinion that it is no longer necessary to take legal precautions against. the public in cendiaries, and the other still resolved to impose shackles upon the Press, from the conviction that its liberty would degenerate into licentiousness. The Party which wisheS to impose those restric tions is precisely that which but six weeks since was declared Jacobin, and now, because it will not go beyond the limit at which it feels the de gree of liberty would be unsafe, it is reproached as Ultra-Royalist. Be it so. We trust that the principles of this party will triumph ; it is that which has hitherto so ably held the balance be tween extreme parties, and thereby preserved the tranquillity of France. Let it persevere in its good work, amidst evil and good report ; it has the approbation of all real lows of the country, of all enlightened Statesmen throughout Europe, anti is strong in the confidence of his MAJesrY. Yesterday his Royal Highoess the Duke of Yottit. transacted military business fruit) an early hour in the forenoon until half-past five, at his office at the Horse Guatds, with - Gen. ToftußNs.

At the Court of East India Proprietors yester.'- day; Mr. ROBERT CANIPBaLL, ?ately a Director, made a statement, in reply to some misreprcsen tatiOns respecting a Loan in India, which was'so satisfactory, that the Court, nem. con, acquitted him of any imputation. (Vide the Advertiaement in our first page.) The late Chairman and De puty, Mr. ,11.P.in and Mr. I3niz; acknowledged the openness and candour with ‘vhich he had afforded information, when the subject was first mention ed to him, and of the eagerness with which he Courted inquiry.
