EVENING EDITION FORGED LETTERS OF LOUIS PHILIPPE. (From the commerce of Tuesday,), The Ministry v a seizure at the Post Office, anti in their officcs, at tllr 13urnals that have republished, under any title or mariner wha , socver, the let:ers attributed by La France to the head of the Government. We find our selv,s included in that measure, to our great astonishment. Oa the 11th of this month the Gazette de Fiance pub. lish,d documents which produced the utmost sensation. The firmer opinions of the first p: , rsoriage of the realm are expressed in a manner to cause some uneasiness to public opinion. This high personage is made to say, that, though " a French Prince, he is, however, English ; in the first place through necessity ; then through principle, opinion, and custom." These letters add, in contradiction to several assertions which have emanated from the Royal personage, that the Duke of Orleans solicited to enter iato foreign service against F. - sance, that he rejoiced in the diasters which bad beiallen the national army, and that he instigated those disasters by his counsels and his wishes. We doubted the correc►tness of those documents; we called upon the Mi nistry for a disavowal of the same. The Ministry, not wi•hstanding our entreaties, maintained those documents by the authority of its silence; it sanctioned them in some measure, by not giving, with respect to them, a single word of explanation. Coupled with the incredulity which arises in the press, the Gazette de France replies by a fresh assurance. It &clams that it has seen the auto graphs : it states that it isfrcady to name the place where they arc deposited. Now the documents published by La France are deemed forgeries, a fresh accssation, a new affair, is brought to lien. We shall endeavour to preserve all the impartiality which is both necessary and compulsory on the accred and accusers. NVe shall scrupulously republish the asser. dens of all' parties ; we have no other part to perform herein but that of simple reporters; and when the law shall have ten its course, when the entire truth shall have been More the tribunals, we shall not hesitate to in. flict chastisement on the impostors. whoever they may be. (From the France.) Oa Monday evening, at five o'clock, a commissary of po lice, with scveral city sergeants, searched our office, and seized the remaining numbers of Sunday's impression. The object of this search was to find the originals of tbo lettlrs we have printed, and whilst it lasted nobody was allowed to leave or enter the office. When it was found to be metes; the surveillance was removed. Several do miciliary visits were paid by the police to our friends. (From the Quotidienne.) On Monday, at four in the afternoon, a commissary of police made his appearance in our office, in order to effect a seizure of the Quotidienne. The warrant of which be was the bearer stated that the motive for that seizure was the publication of the letters extracted from the France, which had published them on Sunday, without any notice having been taken until yesterday afternoon that they had even attracted the attention of the Ministry. Other journals were seized as well as curs. Amongst them the National, Commerce, Gazette de France, Echo Francais, &c. The Ministerial silence had inspired a con. fidence which will be punished by a prosecution. __ At the movgat when we were 'writing these lines we received the Messager; the official evening journal. We read there that the letters which had been published were forgeries. That is a polemical point to be contested be. tureen the Ministerial journal and the France. The houses of the Viscount de Baulny, M. de Genonde, and the Marquis de Larochejacquelin bave been searched by the police. (From the Gazette de France of Monday night.) This afternoon, at five o'clock, a commissary of police, the bearer of an order from the parquet, made a seizure at the Post-office and in our offices of the numbers of this day, intended for the provinces. That proceeding, we are informed, arose from the reproduction of the letters attri. bnted to Louis Philippe and which the France published on Sunday. Eight commissaries of police were in requisition for the seizure of the jouinals which republished those letteis. The publication of At correspondence caused a great sensation in the Chamber, and occasioned many conjec tures in the mile des conferences. At the Bourse there ;as likewise much movement.

In the same proportion their crops of coffee, molasses, rum, Bte., produce now more ; and the following facts' will thew the disadvantageous trade carried on by Eng- Und v!ith the British West Indies, being likewise the effect of the monopoly. The value of finished manufactures, materials of ma nufacture, and goods upon which little labour has been bestowed, exported to the British West Indies, accord ing to Mr. G. R.

Calculating only 30s. per l 12lbs. on the reduced im portation last year from the British Wc s t, I n di es, 103,000 tons, it amounts to 3,090,0001. molasses, rum, & e . For British West India coffee, they likewise have paid an extra price. It therefore results that the English people pay for the produce of the British West Indies, in addition to the price at which it could be obtained from other countries, an amount equal or greater than the whole value, of the exports from England to that qu4rter, • Mr. G. R. Porter says in his evidence before the Select Committee on Import Duties, 31st July, 1840 : •—••• At the present time the English consumer pays, Wm of duty, upward s o f Sid. per lb. m ore for than the foreign consumer." (2,654.) And Mr. J. I%.l..Gregor, 15th July, 1840 :—" Do you happen to know what the price of coffe , 3 is in any, of tbtie Stays of Europe, as compared with England ? The difference is about 80 per cent., that is in the tree markets of Europe. (914) Sixty per cent., at least, when the duties are paid ; independently of the differ- MO of dtOios, 80 to 100 per cent. (915)." in the treasury 2 • and when there is a necessity to have re sort to loans, I know that, with two hundred millions which would be expended, with the money that it will annually cost to keep up the fortifications, and for the staff to command and inspect them, they might have wherewith to 'give retiring pensions to sub-officers and soldiers after twenty years' service, and also to keep up an army stronger and more useful than walls ; there might be also railroads made to facilitate the movements of troops from one end of France to the other. The quantity of stone (moellons) which would be required in three years for the fortifications of Paris would, be said, be greater than that used in thirty three years for all tire buildings in Paris; and he added that the expense of the purchase of ground would be enormous. Arriving at the political part of the question, he said, lam not a friend of popular revolt—l am not one of those who would see a minority enforce its will by vio-• knee ; but neither would I have Frenchmen placed in the impossibility of asserting their rights as they did in 1830. It is said that French soldiers would not fire on their fel low-countrymen. I was in Paris in 1830, and gained nay decoration of_biy as others did, and I heard officers, other wise patriotririve the word of command to fire upon us, for they were tied down by tho laws of discipline. I will con 4lude by addressing a few words to the Left of the Chamber. It was desirous first that the continuous wall should be exe cuted before the forts, and now it talks of the simultaneous execution of tho works ; but what is there to guarantee this eiviultaneous execution? The works of the forts will be actively carried on, and the continuous wall will be com paratively neglected. As to the distance of the forts, it is no even laid down in the Bill; and if the forts do not rh close to Paris, the capital will by its progressive aggrandisement draw near to the forts. I cot jure the Left, in the name t.f that portion of it to which I belong, and which has ii,qt followed M. Thiers in his projects, to show that distfrt,s_ which is the natural element of oppo sition, particularly after the speech of Marshal Soult, which is anything but equivocal. It is evident that the object is to tranquillise Europe, but no care is felt to tran quillise our own country. Here several voice called out for adjournment. The President put the question as to the close of the uneraldiscussion, and it was carried by a large majority, it being at the same time undcrEtood that the Reporter, M. Thiers, 4ould be heard before the discussion on the articles of the Bill. _ _ (M. Thiers was addressing the Chambcr when the mails left, but vie must postpone giving any portion of his speech until we can fay It befors our readers in extenso.) NOTICE.

" As everybody goes to Paris, everybody should read Mrs. Gore's new novel, Greville, or a ' Season' in that delightful Metropolis—by the production of which the authoress has con ferred a real benefit on the public in several respects. First, she has given them something new ; and, secondly, her lively pages contain a view of Paris, such as no writer but herself is qualified to afford. The manner in which Mts. Gore has intro duced her readers at once into the heart of society in the French capital is admirable. In short, it could scarcely be thought possible that a single work could so completely familiarize the reader with the society of a Foreign Capital as this new novel of Grevilie, and no English person intending to visit Paris should fail to study its sparkling details."—San.

Now ready, at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., THE NAVAL SURGEON, By the Author of " Cavendish," ‘: The Flying Dutchman," &e. " The best novel that Mr. Neale has yet written. An ad mirable transcript of naval life, told with great truth and feel ing, and abounding both in incident and character. One of its chief attractions to those who remember the original will be the life-like portrait which the author has drawn in tke cha racter of Captain Howard, of one of the finest fellows that ever trod the deck of a man-of-war. The salient points of this character are finely brought out in the spirit-stirring and ani mated description of the running fight between the Epaini nondas and the strange Seventy-four, whose history remains a mystery to the end. We have rarely read anything more in teresting than the account of this chase. Mr. Neale's powers are very various, and he sketches character with gnat freedom and rapidity ; his Dr. Caustic is an excellent specimen of dry humour and singularity. Nor is he less at fault in the more romantic portions of his narrative, happily blending a very in teresting story with the shifting adventures of a naval surgeon's life. "—Morning Herald.

Vtit ,§itit. LONDON: THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 1841. The Lords met at One o'Clock to carry up the Addres3. Lord ARDEN and the Bishop of CHI CHESTER took their seats. The Commons met at the usual hour. Colonel BRUEN took his seat. Petitions against the grant to Maynooth, for the abolition of Church-rates, and for redress for SARAH YOUNG, and for the suppression of idola trous worship in India, were presented by Mr. PHILLIPS, Mr. EASTHOPE, Capt. PECHELL, and Sir R. INGLIS. A new writ was issued for Reigate. Notices were given by Sir E. SUGDEN of a Bill, on Tuesday, to amend the administration of justice in the House of Lords and Privy Council; by Lord ASHLEY to reappoint, this day, the Fac tories' Committee ; and by Lord J. RUSSELL for a Committee, on Monday, to 'inquire into the state of South Australia. On the Report of the Address being brought up, Sir R. INGLis adverted to the omission from the Speech and from the debates of all notice of th e repeal agitation in Ireland, which the Hon. Baronet regarded as worse than the omission of France. ford J. RUSSELL lauzhed at the Baro. net's logic and his fears, and implied that it would be giving the repeal agitation a great deal too much importance to mention it in the Royal Speech. The Report of the Address was adopted with out further discussion. On moving the Sessional Owl r, arid on tit(. third : elating to the Conunittee on Petitions, Lord STANLEY suggested that petitions containing mat ters reflecting on individuals should not be TIIE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 1811. published till after the Report of the Committee. Several Members spoke on this suggestion, and all agreed that libellous petitions were frequently presented to the House, wits a view to have them printed. In general, it Aremed to be agreed that every Member should use his own discretion about moving for the printing of petitions, and the usual Sessional Order was passed without alteration. We should apprehend that in the eye of the law the sending a libellous petition to the House of Commons was equivalent to a publication, and we cannot see what useful privilege would be violated, by making the parties who send such petitions, whether printed or not, responsible to the law for their contents. Why should the House of Commons throw its shield over a slanderer ? If individuals were as liable to prose cution,for publishing libels in that mode as pub lishing them in any other, they would soon be cautious, and the House of Commons would not be insulted by being made the instrument for disseminating libels on private character. Mr. BROTHERTON moved his usual resolution, that no new business, objected to by five Mem bers, should be brought on after twelve o'clock. Mr. EWART and Mr. O'CONNELL supported the motion. Lord JOHN RUSSELL opposed it. Mr. HUME suggested that no debate should be adjourned more than one day. On a division, Mr. BROTHERTON'S motion was lost by 130 to 31. We can believe that such an order might be at times an inconvenience, but the public will expect that laws should not be made when ho nest men are asleep. Mr. EWART supplied the public with another example of the purity of those who are to make all others pure, by pointing out that Members who had local interests were placed on all Colin mittees on private Bills, so that the Committees were divided into partizans, and contests were prolonged greatly to the injury of the petition ing parties. If the Committees were properly constituted, it is the opinion of a skilful Parlia mentary agent, a bad cause would be frequently dropped. To remedy the evil, Mr. EWART pro posed that the Committee of Selection should choose the Members of Committees amongst those Gentlemen who were personally and lo cally the least interested. Sir G. GREY, Mr. LABOUCHERE, and others, hoped the Hon. Member would not press his mo tion to a division, and would wait to see the re sult of an improvement already made. Mr. GOULBURN denied that Committees were purely judicial tribunals, and advocated the prin ciple of composing them of Members locally interested. Mr. AGLIONBY, Mr. WARBURTON, Mr. HUME, and others, supported the motion, which, on a division, was lost by 22 to 24, and the Commit tees are to be composed, as heretofore, of local jobbers. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD moved for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the law of Copyright; but Mr. WARBURTON strenuously opposing the motion, the Hon. and Learned Gentleman post poned it to Friday. Mr. HoDGEs obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the better regulation of the Constabulary in England and Wales. At Eight o'clock the. House adjourned. There was one very remarkable, and for us ex emely pleasant,feature manifested in the debate on Tuesday evening to which we must call public attention. Lord BROUGHAM spoke of the French being "jealous of honour, sudden and quick in quarrel," prone to take offence, and he made their disposition_ a ground for framing and adapt ing to it the policy of England. Viscount MEL BOURNE alluded also to their sensitiveness, and no doubt regarded it as a reason for caution, though he said it was not to dictate the policy of other nations. The Duke of WELLINGTON pro fessed the greatest respect for France, and de clared that he had done more than any man to sustain her honour and integrity, and keep her in her place in the councils of Europe. That Mr. GROTE and Mr. HUME should refer to the feelings of the French as an ele ment worthy of consideration in our na tional policy, is not to be wondered at; but they professed not a greater deference to those feelings than Sir ROBERT PEEL, whose chief cause for blaming the Ministers was, that they had not sufficiently considered nor con sulted the feelings of the French. Now, this al most universal deference in Parliament to the feelings of a foreign nation, as an important element in national policy, strikes us as some thing novel, and certainly it is for us something very pleasing. But if so much deference is to be paid to the feelings of the French,—if their sensitiveness to insult, their love of honour, their spirit of inde pendence are to be so much attended to,—if Tory statesmen profess that, why are the feel ings of the people of England and Ire land to be set at nought and outraged by Tory statesmen, ,as if they were so many dogs? Their policy proceeds on the prin ciple of disregarding the feelings of our people, and of coercing them into submission. They profess not to take them into account. They will not assist the Grand Turk against a vassal without the greatest precaution, lest the feelings of the French be hurt ; but they will exclude millions from the franchise in England and Ire land, and vex those they admit to it by new re gistration laws, in open and avowed defiance of the feelings of the people of England and Ireland. Abroad they consult the feelings of the people in their policy ; at home they despise them, and claim• great credit to themselves for magnanimity in doing so. What is the source of this difference ? Is it that our statesmen regard the French as a nation on an equality with them, which they know they cannot and dare not outrage with impunity, while they regard the people of England and Ireland as servants, or slaves, whom they may treat in any manner which suits their pur poses or their policy? We know no othersolution of the difficulty. And hence your Sir ROBERT INGLISES, your Lord STANLEYS, and the whole rabble of ultra-Protestant, and ultra-coercive le gislators, pursue their own peculiar policy, ut terly regardless of the feelings of the Irish Catholics, the English Dissenters, and the great bulk of the working classes. Indignant remon strances, or humble petitions, alike go for nothing ; because the religious and political tyrants of the people, enshrouded in a kind of prescriptive sanc tity, know, or fancy, that the irritated multitude will not strike at them, while they do know that the French, having no respect for them, will take no insult at their hands, and will pay injury with in- Jury, and outrage with outrage. The gentlemen who rely on the forbearance of the people to make in security the iniquitous laws which serve their own narrow and selfish party purposes, seem, then, to be cowardly as well as tyrannical, and only strike, and only plunder, where they feel confident they will meet with no resistance. Marking these things, we are not surprised that Mr. O'CoNsELL—though we do not approve of his policy—should stir up his countrymen to agitate for a repeal of the Union, that they may, like the French, have an independent national existence, be treated on an equality, and be saved from the insults and the injuries which are now heaped on them by Protestant legis lators in the name of religion, and by despotic politicians in the name of the public welfare. Neither are we surprised that the working classes or the Chartists require a Parliament of their own. If theyeannot be protected from a wrong by an independent national existence, with which' to confront the aristocracy, it seems na iteucrtatlothina j t u t ri h e e s y should a n d ns t s s h d n r e o s s ed longerup into t b h e e s u s ob .. lemn warb of lersHatioi, The whole of the Sudi a diserepauey strepgthens le;:qson 1110 - e reach e d us . which similar events have long impressed on the I the jourhati3 oil the people. Those who submit to injury will tion of forged l e tt er always be trampled on; those who repel the French. These it will have their rights respected. If th( Irish mean to enforce on the Protestant ma jority of the House of Commons a respect foi their rights, and mean to . scare my Lord STAN LEY, Mr. EMERSON TENNENT, and Co. from in flicting a wrong on them by means of an insi dious enactment, they must use strong lan guage, and give them to understand that th( Irish are no more to be insulted and injured foi the sake ofa Protestant policy than the Frencl for the sak6 of a Turkish policy. If the workinE classes or Chartists desire to make the bread taxing aristocracy abstain from plundering them they must convince the aristocracy that thei , feelings and their rights must be respected lik( those of the gentlemen on the other side of the Channel. It is impossible for our statesmen tt, profess respect for the feelings of the French, and go on despising those of the Irish, and tramplin& those of the English regardlessly under foot. With Marshal SOULT'S Fortifications' Bill or the table of the Chamber of Deputies, the ex- Ministers can safely taunt the opponents of tha. arbitrary and, to liberal France, ruinous mea sure, with not proceeding against them by im peachinent. As was well observed by M. DI . LASIARTINE, in the debate on Thursday, SOULT't Bill is a bill of indemnity for the Cabinet of the Ist of March. Not that we for an instant sup pose that, had the illustrious Marshal not brought forward his Bill, an impeachment of M. TRIER:, and his colleagues could be successfully moved in the Chamber of Deputies. The popular and monarchical rage for walls is too strong for even the attempt to be made with impunity. So tho roughly has M. THIERS succeeded in mystifying and deluding the bulk of the French people, that. forgetful of every lesson which history has taught them, and blind to the most glaring consequences of an adherence to the system which they arE now supporting, they really feel persuaded that nothing but walls can save France from danger: which neither exist, nor can exist, save in the crazed imaginations of a people drunk with poli tical excitement. France will yet wake to a so ber sense of what she will have to expect from the fortification of the capital ; but we much fear it will only be when her ears are saluted with the bursting of shells in the faubourgs of Paris. Then indeed will she learn the value of the le gacy which M. TRIERS has left her. Then will she be in a condition to judge of the profundity of his Oriental policy; if, indeed, his Oriental policy was not from the commencement a maturely designed prelude to the fortification of the capital. More than once has this idea occurred to us, nor on examination will it ap pear so improbable as at a first glance it may seem to many of our readers. The fortifications of Paris has been one of the darling objects of Louis PHILIPPE'S policy since his accession to the throne. The works would have been begun on an extensive scale in 1832 had not the people appeared alarmed at the prospect of the esta_ blishment of a military despotism. A pretext Was wanted to undertake them with the po pular sympathies enlisted in their favour, and M. THIERS, by a course of trickery on the Oriental question, has produced it. By first isolating France, he made her appear as insulted in the eyes of unreflecting Frenchmen; and by next raising immense armaments, or rather pretending to raise them, he compelled the States threatened by him to arm in self-defence, and thus produced in France the impression that the country was threatened by a coalition as powerful and as hostile to France as that which broke the imperial sceptre of NAPOLEON. When the public alarm was at its height, he sud denly dropped his bullying menaces about marching on the Rhine, and all at once brought forward his plan for fortifying Paris. A general shout for walls and fortresses followed, and by his manoeuvring he has contrived to keep up the popular excitement. But if anything could immediately open the eyes of the French people to the real object of the fortification of the capital, it would be the speech delivered to the Chambers on Friday by Marshal SCULT. The gallant Marshal declared frankly that it was detached forts, not walls, that he wanted ; but that rather than lose the forts he would take them cumbered with the wallt• The walls are useless in a struggle between the Government and the Parisian mobs, and there- fore the Marshal cares nothing about them. On this occasion the gallant Marshal's precipitancy well nigh ruined the schemes of the ex-President of the Council. M. TRIERS became alarmed that the truth would out ; the gallant Marshal was again brought before the Committee which had sanctioned the Report upon which the Bill was based, and when properly schooled in his part, M. TRIERS announced in his name that the walls would materially add to the security of Paris. The Marshal has a little too much of the honest frankness of a soldier about him to be altogether left to himself in the management of such a deep laid plot against liberty. But in M. TRIERS he finds a prompter of whom Satan himself might be proud. We greatly regret the omission of any allusion to our relations with France in her MAJESTY'S Speech from the Throne. Our Government is not unacquainted with the indignation excited in France by such silence on two former occasions. If the navigation of the Douro was deemed of sufficient importance to occupy a paragraph in the Speech, an equal extent of space might at least have been allowed to the expression of regret that France did not concur in our Levan tine policy, but that relying upon the justice and the moderation of the French KING and Cabinet, her MAJESTY felt confident that the peace /of Europe would not be disturbed, and that, after the execution of the Treaty of July, the Govern ment would not be wanting in the support of any measures likely to increase the harmony between England and France. Such a paragraph would add greatly to the strength of M. GUIZOT and the peace party, and go far towards softening the feeling of acerbity which exists in the popular mind of France against England. The last Report made by the Directors of the London and Brighton Railway, together with the explanations made by Mr. HARMAN', the Chairman, give a favourable view of the progress and cost of this important line. The works have been carried on with such spirit and success that the line to Hayward's Heath will be opened by Midsummer, and throughout the whole extent by the following Autumn. It is satisfactory also to find that the money required to complete the works will not be more than two-thirds of the sum anticipated at the last meeting, namely, 400,0001., in place of 600,000/. The Company, on the opening of the line, will start eighty car- riages, with twenty-two engines, and at the same time be prepared to lay down more if wanted to accommodate the numerous visitors that will flock to this favourite watering-place, not only from London, but from the heart of the king dom. A journey from Birmingham to Brighton may then be accomplished in about the time now occupied in going from London, and, consider ing the vast population residing in the interior of the country, within the same distance, it may be safely calculated that the traffic in that direction will be greatly increased. We confidently trust the misunderstanding with Mr. GOLDSMID, as to the Shoreham Line, will be arranged without legal proceedings, as we cannot see on what principle of equity or justice, he can come for ward and object to any species of traffic what ever, after the price for the site of the station had bee n accepte d . He m i g ht a s well make a n exception to Cha r ti s t s , R e p e alers, or any political or religious sect not of his way of thinking, pa&- ing near his property. French Journals of Tties(lav ['hey notice the seizure o f previous day for the publiea s attributed to the King of J9Uniab will. be prosecuted, )oth for the crime of forgery, and for an attack upon the personal character of the Sovereign. The Chamber of Deputies was occupied on Tuesday with the Fortifications Bill. M. GUIZOT mpported the measure in a long and able speech. GARNIER PAGES opposed the Bill, and proved ery- clearly that following the examples of :ortified towns in Germany, cited by M. GUIZOT, ,vould be to reduce Paris to a level with these ;•loomy fortresses, in the cultivation of arts, sciences, and letters. M. THIERS followed M. 3rARNIER PAGES, and was speaking when the mails left for London. As reporter of the Com mittee he was in favour of the Bill. A summary of the speeches of MM. G unoT and GARNIER PAGES will be found in another part of Time Sun. M. TRIERS, not having concluded the delivery of his speech, we reserve any report of it till to morrow. The ablest opponent of the plan for fortifying, or rather brutalizing, Paris, yet known to the public has appeared in the person of Malame DE GinArtmx, the accomplished Avife cf M. E. LE GMARDIN, for some time a member of the Chamber of Deputies, and editor of the daily journal La Prcsse. We regret that want of space prevents us from transferring her brilliant expo sure of the consequences of surrounding Pail, with walls and fortresses, to our columns. But we must find room for an extract or two. Hear t'iis lively and patriotic Frenchwoman : With us this question is not only a political question it is a question of nationality, humanity, and spirituality ; and we view with terror a project which tends to stifle in Paris the nascent reign of intelligence. A man of wit, M. Emile Deschamps, has said, " Of an Athens ycu are about to make a Ignite:age." The re mark is a charming and true one. Be sincere: do you know of any fortified town in the whole world where the mind'uorks ? There is none. Now, la specialite, as traffickers say in our day, the Parisian .speriallie is the immense manufacturing of ideas; Parisian labour is a labour entirely intellectual. The other cities trade, apply themselves to politics or industry—Paris is the ,nly city that thinks. Paris is a philosopher; make a soldier of it. • Don't thrust it into an armour ; its heavy cuirass would embarrvs its walks in ito reveries on the destinies of the world. Don't put a helmet on its head; ideas dread-iron, and dare not arise beneath a heavy coif figure. Bonaparte, who knew the helmet's effect on the brain, never were but a little hat. It is not a war of France with forei.:n States that threatens. but a more ter rible battle, because it causes the loss of all others—a sul len and fatal struggle, a clandestine duel between violence and reason, and between brutal force and thought. Madame DE GIRARDIN next proceeds to show, that to fortify Paris is to overthrow the Consti tution, by proving it to be impossible that at y King could be otherwise than absolute in an at mosphere of saltpetre. To fortify Paris, and to desire LOUIS PHILIPPE to remain a Constitu tional Sovereign, would, she contends, be about as reasonable as to give a drum to a child and bid him make no noise, or to open a cage, and desire the bird not to fly - out, because it is a prisoner on parole. Madame DE GIRARDIN is perfectly right. No monarch in a fortified capi tal, capable of giving laws to the nation by an act of its mere volition, could resist the tempta tion of making himself absolute. With the mounting on the last gun on the ramparts of Paris expires the constitutional freedom of France. This morning, at half-past twelve, Lord Granville went in state to the residence of the Minister for Foreign Af fairs. When the Ambassador's equipage came to tl - e door a footman alighted to inquire of the porters if M. Guizot was at home, and was answered in thr negative. The Minister had, in fact, just set out for the Tuileries; Lord Granville immediately returned back. Ten minutes afterwards Count Appony, the Austrian Am bassador arrived, and did as Lord Grenville had done. As he was crossing the Place de la Concorde, His Excel lency perceived the Prussian Ambassador, who was like wise going to the Foreign Office. The two carriages drew up close to each other, and Count Appony doubtless _informed his collongue that M. Guizot was not to be seen, for the Prussian Ambassador immediately turned back. BERNE, JAN. 21.—The revolt having been suppressed by the energy of the Government, the attempts of the re volutionary party show thcsrnselves in another manner. A new Sarnian league is formed which proposes to attack, by every possible means, the liberal course of thzi new Vorort, or at least to create such embarrassments that foreign diplomacy may have a pretext so interfere in our affairs.—Le Commerce.

The landed aristocracy continually call out that the people want to divide their estates, and to take away their property. In the meantime the landed aristocracy actually take away by a bread-tax, and continually take away, the pro perty of the people. Do the aristocracy make such a pother about an imaginary and appre hended wrong to blind the world to the great wrong which they continually commit ? DESPERATE ATTACK UPON THE POLICE AT GRINDLETON, NEAR CLITHEROE.—On the night of Thurs day week, three of the rural police stationed at Clitheroe, named Robert Whiteside, Andrew Madden, and James Neild, accompanied by Mr. Christopher Lancaster and Mr. William Lancaster, of Clitheroe, went to the beer shop of Peter Hitchen, of Grindleton, about three miles from Clitheroe, to apprehend a notorious poacher named John Briggs, of Savvley, and James Dickinson, on charges of poaching and assault. On arriving at Hitchen's, the police found both of them there, and they were immediately seized by the officers. They both made a violent resistance. Briggs drew a knife, but it was wrested from him, and he then drew a loaded pistol, ready capped, and this was also seized and taken from him, when, after a desperate struggle, the police succeeded in handcuffing both of them. They would not, however, walk a yard, and Madden, therefore, went off to Clitheroe for a post-chaise. During his absence, how ever, about 50 or 60 ruffians, six of them arm e d w ith guns , attacked the house, and broke open the door. They then demanded the release of Briggs and Dickinson, and threatened the lives of the police if they did not obey their commands. A struggle ensued, when the officers were overcome by the force of numbers, and the prisoners were rescued. Oa leaving the house, several shots were fired, and the mob hissed and hooted in the most furious manner At this time Madden arrived with the chaise, and on alighting, he was attacked in the most brutal manner with bludgeon?. He, however, got into the house, and the door was again cic sad. They then broke the windawa, and fired several shots into the room, some of which took effect on Christopher Lancaster's arm and Maddeu's legs. Six armed ruffians then forced the door, and de manded ten shillings, or they would take their lives. The money, we believe. was given to them, and the police left the house, when they were attacked at the door with bludgeons, and M: d !en received a severe blow on one of his arms. On the folio sing morning, Briggs and Dick inson went through Cnatburn, arn el with guns; and be ween that place and Dovvnham they met Mr. Littledalc's gamekeeper, whom they knocked down and kicked in a savage manner, and he now lies seriously ill of the injuvi3 he received. These desperate characters, we are sorry to say, arc still at large. They are the terror of the whole neighbourhood, and we trust the police will spare no effort in apprehending them.—Preston Chronicle. SETTLE.—Saturday the 16th was ushered in by a complete hurricane of wind and snow, and in the afternoon it turned to rain, accompanied by a wind, which towards night, became a perfect tempest. In the midst of this, a poor journeyman tailor and a young lad left a house where they had been working, about five miles from Settle, to return home ; they struggled on till the man's strength began to fail, w'aere the boy held him up, and almost dragged him along till they reached the top of the hill, looking down into Settle, about five hundred yards from home, when the lad, being nearly spent, was obliged to leave his now exhausted companion, and went donn into the town for help. Some men went up imme diately ; but, though the . poor man was alive, he died al most immediately. The poor fellows had, it seems, left the house where they had been working at nine o'clock i n the evening, and the boy did not reach Settle till two in the morning; so that they bad gone little more than a mile an hour. There is something very affecting in th e poor boy having to assist the man.—Kendal Mercury. The following is a copy of the paragraph in the Lords' address relative to the birth of the Princess Royal : We entreat your Majesty to accept our most sincere am! fervent congratulations on the birth of a Princess, and we beg to express our unfeigned joy at this increase of the domestic felicity of your Majesty and your Majesty's Royal Consort," IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The House met to-thy at one o'clock for the pur pose of proceeding to Buckingham Palace with the Address to her Majesty. The attendance of Mem bers was very limited, and it was not till twenty-five minutes to one that a House was made. There were then present in various uniforms Lord Brabazon, the mover ; and Mr. G. Berkeley, the seconder of the Ad dress ; Mr. Tuffnell, Mr. Busfield, Mr. Dottin, and Mr. Prothero. There were also present .Sir Charles Adam, Mr, M. O'Perral, Mr. Sandford, Mr. O'Con nell, Mr. Sturt, &c., &c. On the House being made, the paragraph of her Majesty's Speech respecting the finance was read, and on the motion of Mr. E. J. Stanley, a Committee of Supply was fixed for to-morrow. 'rho Speaker, accompanied by all the Members pre sent then went up in procession to the Palace. The House adjourned till to-morrow. CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DA Y The Loan CHANCELLOR took appeal motions and original causes to-day, none of which possessed any roint of the least public interest. In several of the cases his Lordship maths orders, according to the prayer of the Bill, and others were struck out, in consequence of neither Counsel nor solicitor ap pearing. The Court rose shortly after 12 o'clock, his Lordship hav; disposed of all the cases in the paper. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY. The Court took motions. GARDNER V. HOWARD. Mr. PEMBERTON moved in this case for an injunction to re strain the defendant from manufacturing, or exposing to sale, a machine invented by the plaintiff, without having previously obtained the license and authority of the plaintiff. The plait:- tiff was the patentee of an invention, stated to be an improve ment in machines fcr cutting Swedish and other turnips, mangel worse] and other roots, used for sheep, horned cattle, and other animals • and having obtained th e l e tt ers p a t ent i n 1834, he employed the defendant. Mr. Howard, an ironmor ger of llrentford, to sell the machines, allowing him a comm;,;, n 'on the sales. The defendant continued to sell the ma, 1,.n and to account to the plaintiff for the profits of the Came an,. very lately, when the plaintiff discovered that Mr. Howard was manufacturing and selling, on his own account, machines which were in every respect simiiar to the plaintiff's. The plaintiff then caused an application to be made to him on tl subject, in answer to which the defendant stated that he won meet the plaintiff, and if he found he was wrong, give him satisfactory compensation. A place of meeting was accordingly appointed, but Mr. Howard did not attend. The plaintiff sub sequently discovered that the defendant was attending the Agri cultural Show in London, in December last, and exhibiting these machines fur the inspection and admiration of the visitors. The bill for the injunction was thereupon filed, and the notice of motion served on the defendant. The Learned Counse having read the requisite affidavits in support of the motion, The MASTER of the ROLLS ordered the injunction to issue. VICE-CHANCERY. - (THIS DAY. His Honour the VICE-CHANcEr.r.ox took motions to-day, but no case of any interest came befm the Court up to its rising. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY. (Sittings in Banco.) The Court was engaged in healing arguments on motions of no interest to any except to the parties more immediately con cerned. It was expected that Mr. Hetherington would have been called up fur judgment, and he was in attendance during the greater part of the morning ; he had not, however, been called up at the time we went to press. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) The Court was engaged during the whole of the morning in hearing motions, none of which, however, were of any public interest. COMMON PLEAS-.(THIS DAY. (Sittings in Banco.) MUNN V. JOHNSON AND OTHERS. This was an action for trespass, brought by a tenant against his landlord and the brokers for an illegal distress. The de fendant pleaded a justification under the Statute, rent being due, and the plaintiff having fraudulently removed his goods to avoid a distress. The plaintiff's case was that the seizure took place some days before the rent was due, according to the terms of the tenantcy. But Mr. Justice Alaule, before whom the cause was tried, left it to the Jury to say whether rent was due at the time of the seizure, and whether the plaintiff had fraudulently removed his goods? The Jury answered both questions in the affirmative, and the verdict was taken for the defendant, subject to an objection raised by Mr. Sergeant Bompas for the plaintiff, that the amount of rent due was not proved ; and that his Lordship ought to have asked the Jury to say, not in a general manner that rent was due, but whether the specific sum yet out in the pleas was proved to have been due before the seizure. On this ground Mr. Petersdorf since obtained a rule to enter a verdict for the plaintiff, against which Air. Platt this day showed cause, contending that the plaintiff having admitted in his counsel's opening address that, there was rent due to the amount of 71. 103., it was not neces sary for the plaintiff to tffer evidence of that admitted fact. Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS, in reply, stated that the verdict was contrary to the facts, and that if the defendant had been re quired to prove the terms of the tenantcy, it would have ap peared that rent was not due at the time of, nor for two or three days after, the seizure. Mr. PLATT said that the Jury had bound on the evidence that rent was due, and that the plaintiff fraudulently removed his goods. But as there was now some doubt as to whether enough was proved, he was willing on the part of his client to agree to a stet processus. The Loan CHIEF. JUSTICE thought the offer a very fair one. The utmost the plaintiff could expect was a new trial, for it appeared that on the other side there was evidence be hind, which was omitted through misapprehension. If the plaintiff had brought th's action for excessive distress, the goods being stated to be worth 301. and sold for 71., the case would stand differently. Mr. Sergeant Bompas, having consulted with his client, agreed to the suggestion that all further proceedings be staid, each party paying his own costs, including those of the present rule.

It has been the usual custom to take prisoners awaiting trial, &c., to their barrack-rooms every morn ing for the purpose of cleaning themselves, they not having their cleaning utensils in the guard-room ; but, in consequence of the escape of a prisoner on Sunday morning last, when returning from the barrack-room to the guard-house, prisoners arc not to be taken to their rooms to clean themselves in future, as ar rangements will be made in the guard-room for that purpose. The prisoner who made his escape was gunner and driver Jickson Horner, of the 4th battalion, who was brought back to Woolwich as a deserter, on the 16th instant, from Portsmouth. This man has only been about two years and a half in the service. He deserted in June last, and enlisted the following day into the Ist Royal Dragoons, but was apprehended on being inspected by the surgeon, the mark of his regimental type being on his clothes. He was brought back to Woolwich in July, tried by a Court-martial, and sentenced to fifty-six days' imprison m nt ; l ut on account of his being a young soldier lie was not sentenced to be marked with the letter D. Notwithstanding the leniency shown to him, lie again deserted in November last, when under orders for foreign service, and enlisted into the 35th Regiment at Portsmouth, from which ho deserted, and enlisted into the Royal Marines ; from the latter corps he attempted to desert, but was detected, tried, and sentenced to solitary confinement. While undergoing this sentence he was claimed by the 35th Regiment, on which he con fessed himself a deserter from the Royal Artillery. He was then given up to that corps, and it was intended to bring him to a general Court-martial had he not escaped from the sentry on Sun lay morning, running across the barrack in the direction of Shooters'-hill and the Black heath road. Patroles were sent to look after him, but he has contrived to keep out of the way. STORMING THE SANCTUARY.—The various tumults in London, in which the passions of the fierce democracy are alternately soothed or excited by their leader, and his appeals for justice on behalf of the oppressed, are depicted with great power and spirit in the new Romance, " Longbeard, Lord of London." Out lvred by the State, and excommunicated by the Church, Longbcard makes a last appeal to the people, in whose cause he was sacrificing himself, but the giddy stay slipped frcm under him, and he flies from present peril into the sanctuary of St, Mary le Bow, followed by his betrothed and a few staunch adherents. Some fretful and pathetic scenes follow, conceived with much skill and fine poetic fancy. The sanctuary is stormed by fire .(t sword, but while their &-s:,ciatcs perish in the coillagi - Lion the lovers are snatched from its horrors by an Lc,- looked-for agency—but we must refer to the work itself, which, besides the vivid picture it presents of the man. ners of the time, sustains the read. is interest from the be ginning to the end.—Caledonian Mercury. THE WALSALL ELECTION.—We are in formed that the private accounts received in this town from Walsall are extremely favourable to Mr. Smith; and it is evident, from what appears in the Tory newspapers on the subject, that Mr. Gladstone's friends are become alarmed by the present aspect of diliirs in the buroegh. Whether there is any good gretn:d for the hopes of the one party, party, or the fears of the other, ;a a point on which we cannot venture to offer an opinion; but it will give us great pleasure to find that such is the fact.—Man chester Guardian. _EVEN ENG KO ETION THE MARKE`T'S►.-(THIS DAYS' COLONIAL MARKET. • tl ,O There was a fair amount of business transacted for to home tilde, and prices were firm.
