FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 1842. The Reverend JONAS DENNIS, " Prebendary, Bachelor of Civil Law, and owner of the moiety of the beneficiary interest in a lease for a certain term of years of the rectorial tithes of the parish of Saint David's, in the county of Exeter, and of the Manor of Rooksdon, in the county of Devon," has written, and duly published, a protest against the Commutation of Tithes Act, which the said Rev. JONAS DENNIS denounces as illegal and unconstitutional. We reprint the Rev. Prebendary's protest for the amusement and edification of our readers. The Rev. Gentleman obviously belongs to the militant and cursing portion of the Church, for he proudly revolts against the authority of the State, aad revives the practice of excommunica tion. He professes to be a member of the Pro testant and State-made Church, but he assumes the worst powers of the Papal priesthood. He is not, we believe, a Puseyite, he would pro bably scorn all communion with Rome, but he is determined to act on the principles of Rome. How the people of Exeter can strug gle on with PHILPOTTS for Bishop, and DENNIS for Prebendary, we cannot tell; in peace it is impossible they should live, unless they have no such thing as conscience. To obey both the Law and the Gospel, as expounded by the published writings and speeches of the Diocesan and his Prebendary, will be a harder task than to make bricks without straw. Commute your tithes, says the Law; you are, ipso facto, excommuni nicated, if you obey the law, says Prebendary DENNIS ; and the poor inhabitants of the diocese of Exeter must be quite bewildered by now fol lowing the Law, and anon following the Church. No other Diocese, we sincerely hope, can have two such men as PHILPOTTS for Bishop, and DENNIS for Prebendary. The first reason assigned by the Rev. Pre bendary for the illegality and unconstitutional nature of the Tithe Commutation Act, is, it " did not obtain the previous consent of the respective Convocations of the Bishops and Clergy of each province." According to Prebendary DENNIS, therefore, the assent of the Bishops in the House of Lords to the Act, goes for nothing. It does not bind the clergy. The Prince Bishops must sit in Parliament by virtue of their own inherent or divine right to speak for themselves. Besides a vote in Parliament, they have a vote in Convocation, and must there be consulted before the two Houses can make a law affecting the Church. The priesthood are resolved, there fore, at least Prebendary DENNIS is, to give per petuity to the wealth of the clergy. They will accept all they can extort from the State, they have no objection even to filch a little from the poor, but they declare, by the mouth of Pre bendary DENNts, that there is no power in the State to interfere with what they possess. The worthy Prebendary states several other reasons besides the main one, that the Convoca tions were not consulted—why the Tithe Act is illegal and unconstitutional. It violates Magna Charta ; it is contrary to a statute of HENRY 111., which denounces a sentence of excommuni cation against all who infringe liberties and rights, according to which the Parliament of 1836 is, ipso facto, excommunicated. It was excommunicated in the reign of HENRY 111. We can fancy that such obtuse people, on the subject of Church property, as the Earl of SPENCER and Lord J. RUSSELL will not hasten to confess, and procure absolution, by promising to repeal the unconstitutional law ; but Sir R. INGLIS, Sir A. AGNEW, the Earls of WiNcrm. SEA and MOCNTCASHEL, Sir R. PEEL, Lord STANLEY, Sir J. GRAHAM, and several other priest-fearing men, if not already grey from age, will turn grey from grief, to learn that they have actually been excommunicated, cursed by the Church, banned from fire and from water, cursed in their loins and their joints, for the long space of five years. Moreover, the Act is illegal and unconsti tutional, says the Prebendary, because it is con trary to the Coronation oath, which the State priesthood impose on the Sovereign. Whether she do justice between man and man is of no consequence ; the cardinal principle of all is, that she preserve to the priesthood all their rights and privileges. Without that, society will tumble headlong to ruin—with that, Prebendary DENNIS implies all will be well—men will be happy here, and saved hereafter. Before we conclude, we must remind Preben dary DENNIS that there is a class of persons called tithe-payers, who pay tithes unwillingly, and have much more respect for the secular than the ecclesiastical power. Unless the former made them pay tithes, it is to be feared that the excommunication of the priesthood would be as much disregarded as their blessing, and no tithes would be paid. Tithes are not property—they are a tax., They are not the produce of the tithe-owners labour, but the produce of other mens' la bour. They belong naturally and neces sarily to the tiller of the ground, and are gilen to the tithe-owner because the law says he shall have them. Th placing himself above the law, Mr. Prebendary DENNIS, there fore, also tramples under his feet his own right to exact tithes. When there is no other autho rity for exacting and paying them than the claims of the tithe-owners, whether secular or ecclesiastical, it may be doubted whether they will be paid for a single day. We respectfully counsel Prebendary DENNIS, therefore, and all the tithe-owners, who must be aware that the terrors of excommunication will not enforce payment, to put their protests against the legality of the Tithe Act into the fire as speedily as possible. If they teach the commu nity that the Legislature cannot commute tithes, it will go hard but the tithe-payers will mend the lesson, and refuse to pay the unauthorised and arrogant demands of a sectarian priesthood. A meeting of the merchants, manufacturers and others of Birmingham, and of deputies from several neighbouring manufacturing towns, was held at Birmingham on Wednesday. Similar testimony was borne by all present to that which has been borne at all the other recent meetings held in the manufacturing districts, of decaying trade, falling wages, and expatriating artisans. To give examples : Mr. BOULTBEE quoted the case of a manufacturer whose trade with Ame rica has fallen off from 1,0001. to 601., and the reason assigned f or this is, the Americans are manufacturing for themselves. They cannot buy our goods, because we will not take what they have to give us; and, therefore, ~ hey are driven to supply their own wants themselves 2 which we could supply, greatly to the advantage of both countries, better than they can. Mr. SCOTT, the Member for Walsall, quoted cases from Stourbridge of the fall of wages, in various trades, from thirty to fifty per ' cent. between 1888 and 1842. Mr. JOSHUA, SCHOLEFIELD stated that manufacturers in Shef field and various parts of Lancashire and Bir mingham, are preparing to remove their capital and labourers to Germany and the United States. To refute the notion that the employment of ma chinery was the cause of the distress, Mr. WALKER, of Wolverhampton, read a list of twenty iron articles, in the manufacture of which machinery was not used, but of which the prices had fallen, between 1836 and 1841, nearly cent. per cent., from the want of a market, All the persons present bore testimony to the great dis tress and suffering of the people. Strong resolu tions against the Corn and Provision-laws were unanimously adopted, and the meeting declared that they would use all peaceful and lawful means to procure the total and immediate aboli tion of these laws. Such meetings will not, can not, and dare not be disregarded by the Legislature. They warn the landlords, very emphatically, that they are ruining. that trade by which their rent is created, And so impoverishing the other classes, that poor-rates, highway rates, and all other public expenses, will soon fall, almost exclusively, on rent. While we mourn over the increasing dis tress of the people, we rejoice to kn ow that a bolder, and a better, and a more kindly spirit is inspiring the middle classes. A leading topic at the Birmingham meeting was the necessity of extending the suffrage, and the impossibility of ?uarding against unjust class legislation, as long as a small section of the community only is re presented in the House of Commons. That alone was wanted, we believe, to reconcile the different ':lasses, and, once re-united, they will soon sub lue their common oppressor. We must, however, remind the advocates of he .Charter exclusively, that unlesss they can ;et food cheap and abundant, the Suffrage will come too late. The people are starved out of ipirit, before they are quite starved out of ex istence. Men, like other animals, are humbled by hunger, and can be enslaved by those who possess the power to feed them. If we cannot speedily procure a larger allowance for all, we shall all be at the mercy of the food owners. Labour, in the great majority of cases, is ex changed for food, which is the first and greatest want. When food is scarce, nothing else is or can be thought of but how to get food ; when food is abundant, man can turn his thoughts to other things, can cultivate his taste, improve his understanding, enlarge his sphere of enjoyment, and have time to devote to political duties. Let us try first, then, to make food cheap and abundant. It would be a glorious thing were the work men of London next week to second the exertions of their fellows in the manufacturing towns, and enable the weeping mothers and the tarving families of Bolton and Paisley to say, "the men of London have wrought out our deliver ance from the bondage of the landlords." It would be a glorious thing for the men of London to terrify the sordid and tyrant aristocracy from their prey by their earnest and solemn voices, and so achieve a great triumph for humanity, liberty, and civilization. If they unite with their countrymen, and demand the abolition of the bread tax, it is in their power to accomplish that great object. Scandalous will it be to the men of London if they do not efficiently aid their suf fering and starving countrymen and. country women, by acting as proxies for them, and car rying respectfully, but earnestly, their prayers to the ear of the SOVEREIGN. At the close of a case in the Queen's Bench on Wednesday, concerning the settlement of a pauper, the Court is reported to have said, " Although it felt strongly that serious inconve niences might arise from this decision, and that most probably the Legislature did not contem plate the case of lunatics when that section (of the New Poor-law) passed, still it thought that the words were too strong to be got over, and that the decision of the Quarter Sessions must be re verseti# This phrase shows that the Court of Queens Bench is at all times prepared to wrest the words of a statute, if they be not " too strong to be got over," to its own vievrs of law. Instead of interpreting statutes by the ordinary meaning of words, and fairly carryiiag them into execution, the Courts of Law strain'. them, and, when they can, pervert or set them aside, substituting for them the comuion-law maxims of the Judges. Without enter-ill - 1g into the difficult question, whether the Coma ion-law or the Statute-law be most consonant to equity and justice, we must remark that this statement makes the fact apparent, that there is in the country two sources of law, or two bodies of law makers, who give contradictory enactments;„ and who, in some sense, thwart each other. 'The Judges, under the pretence of carrying the law into execution, in fact, wrest it to their awn ideas of what the law ought to be, when the words of a statute do not strictly bind them. to one course, and are not susceptible of two mewl ings. That, under such circumstances, there should be conflicting laws, and that the whole of our legislation, intended to be the rule, of man's life and actions, should be a jumbled n lass of incomprehensible and inextricable mystt can surprise no man. The surprise is to finds in society a sound principle which enables it to sur vive, and thrive under a system only calculated to engender that confusion which precedes de struction. The importance of the debate in the Vrench Chamber of Deputies on the Right or Search question, appears to be overlooked by o ttr Con temporaries. The French Government,. in con cert with the other great European Powers, hav ing guaranteed a right of mutual search, - we may affect to despise, or denounce as factions, the opposition made in the Chamber of Depu ties to the ratification of a treaty to that effect ; but surely before doing so it would be as well ;to ask ourselves of what use would be a Treaty with France opposed to the national p re j u di ceL; o f a majority of the French people? In an ab.sw.)lute Monarchy the ratification of a Treaty by - the Government may preclude all regard for p üblic Opinion ; but can this be said of a country which boasts even of such a shadow of a Constitution as France ? Would the Treaty hold good were! we foolishly to embroil ourselves in a hostile corrtest with the United States ? Most certainly, in ;the present temper of the French Chamber of :De puties, it would not. Now this is really the prlac• tical question to be considered, and not the .B.b -stract right on one side or the other. Now if France, who can employ as many cruisers eon the coast of Africa as England can, is thus bons of the exercise of a right of search, what heart-burnings must it not occasion to Prussinvi, Austrian, Russian, and Dutch traders ? " But;.," say our Contemporaries, " the right of search :is mutual; the power we claim ourselves we cam cede to others." True; but is it not very HA e a mockery to offer to exchange a concession .f power with a State whom we know to be inc pable of exercising it? The naval force of Hanc.- ver consists of one ship of war employed in en forcing the pillag e o f me rchant ships in the Elbe; now would it not be a mockery of Ole present state and dignity of CUMBERLAN D'S lest Royal Duke, seriously to propose the ratificatAon of a Treaty for enforcing a mutual right. of search of all vessels belonging to the two. na tions found navigating the coast of Africa ? Would not such a compact be a revival of the old one of the giant and the dwarf ? The Itight of Search question is viewed with jealousy in France and elsewhere, because one nation as sumes the lead in carrying it out. Were it a con dition of the Treaty that all the Powers ratifying it should be represented on ,the African coast by an equal number of cruisers, the objections Ito it would very soon disappear before the voic e of reason and justice. But our Contemporaries len tirely overlook this important point, and hence arise a series of plausible, but very egregiJus blunders. Madrid papers of the 17th and 18th inst. have reached us. In the Senate, on those days, the debates on the project of address in reply to the REGENT'S speech had commenced. The discus sion in the Deputies was to begin on the 20th. Senor CAMPUZANO opened the debate in the Senate on the 17th. Senor MARLIANI made a very long speech, to prove the connection between Louis PHILIPPE and the Christino in surrection, for the purpose of placing one of h's sons on the Spanish throne. He added that he was convinced that there were more conspiracies than ever now going on in Paris. He stated a curious fact, if true, which Went to establish that M. PAGEOT, the French Charge d'Affaires, was aware of the attempt on the Royal Palace, on the night of October 7, before it was made. Senor MARLIANI also contended that M. DE SALVANDY had been sent to Madrid as Ambassador, not by the appointment of M. GUIZOT, but by the de sire of the King of the FRENCH, to answer his dynastic objects. The speech of Senor MAR. MANI produced a great sensation. Senor GONZALES, President of the Council and Minister for Foreign Affairs, followed Senor MARLIANI. The Minister argued that the Cortes would take care that no foreign Prince came to the Spanish Throne without the legislative consent, for Queen ISA LELLA could not marry without that authority. The Madrid Cabinet, he said, could not enter into what might be the intentions at the Tuileries, when there were no facts or documents existing ; but he would declare, that only the general interests of the country should be regarded when the question of the Royal marriage should be brought forward at its proper period. He declined, for the pre sent to accede to Senor MARLIANI'S demand for the production of the correspondence relative to the credentials of M. BE SALVANDY. He, however, would state, in reply to the preceding orator, that the French Ambassador had declared to him that be had no private instructions from his Government, and that France had no intention to interfere with the internal affairs of Spain. The situation of affairs arising from the misunderstanding was grave and delicate, but no unnecessary alarm ought to be spread on the subject. Senor HERos next spoke, and took the same view as Senor MARLIANI in respect to the conduct of Louis PHILIPPE. The debate was then adjourned, and resumed on the 18th by Senor CORDONIN and Senor HERos. The Senate voted eight paragraphs, without amend ments. The debate was adjourned till the 19th, when it was expected to close. On the Madrid Bourse, on the 18th, five Ibar gains for four millions were done in the Threes, at 221, and a, with p. for 60 days; twenty-one bargains for 12,204,000 reals in the Fives, at 32i, 33 for cash, 3 4 -I, for 60 days. The Paris Journals of Tuesday, delayed by the stormy state of the weather, together with the whole of Wednesday's Journals, have been re ceived. Tuesday's Journals differ considerably upon the character of the vote of the Chamber of Deputies adopting M. JACQUES LEFEBRE'S amendment upon the fourth paragraph of the Address, the text of which is given in our foreign summary. In order that the question may be better understood by the general reader, we may remark that three amendments upon this paragraph, more or less censuring the Right of Search Treaty, were proposed to the Chamber. These appeared too decided in their tone to please the supporters of the Government, and M. LEFEBRE then hit upon a fourth, recommending caution in the execution of the Treaty, to which all parties assented. The vote, in point of fact, is a plain demonstration of the opinion of the Chamber that great prudence is necessary, and some suspicion warrantable, on the part of France, as regards the motives which have induced the British Government to propose a reciprocation of the right of maritime search in connection with the proceedings against the slave trade. M. GUIZOT on Monday made a very able speech upon this question, in answer to the one delivered by M. BERRYER. The Royalist De puty having said that the ratification of a right of search treaty would be tantamount to a declaration of war on the part of Eng land against the United States, as the Eng lish armed with such a treaty would execute it by force, M. GuizoT in reply said :—" I wish it were in my power to induce the United States to become a party to the Convention, for my suc cess would do honour to my country, and render a great service to humanity. But GOD forbid that the slightest constraint should be used in order to compel any nation to become a party to the treaty. The United States are free and will remain so. On the day when they shall have conceded to the Convention they will have per fbrmed a noble work, fbr they will then have ac complished the abolition of the trade in the whole world. But do not let it be imagined for a moment that a freedom of the seas will be in volved in this question. That will remain as it was. The slave-trade has no connection with the question of the freedom of the seas, for, like pi racy, this traffic is excluded from all common right. It has been assimilated also to the recog nised right which exists in the case of the contraband of war. Are you willing that the traffic in human flesh should be treated with the rigour which in the case of the contraband trade of war is admitted by all the world? And does this exception to the great principle of the freedom of the seas affect that principle ? No, Gentlemen, on the contrary ; the principle is rendered more sacred by the excep tion." M. GutZor then alluded to his duty to the Crown. He said that, although he did not regard the ratification of the treaty as a mere formality, and felt himself bound to pay respectful attention to the opinions of the Cham ber, he must not for a moment leave it to be imagined that the right of the Crown to ratify, or not ratify, could be affected by any pro ceedings elsewhere. There was nothing, he said, more serious than for a Government to say to Powers with which it had friendly relations—" What we proposed to you three years ago, we will not ratify now." This was not only serious as regarded the Government, but also as regarded the honour of the country. M. GUIZOT concluded by saying that the rights of the Crown would remain entire, and that when the Chamber should have expressed its opinion, the Government would decide upon its own re sponsibility. The following interesting debate on the Span ish etiquette quest i on, on which we shall have something to say h erea f t er, is reported in the Journals of Wednesday : CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, JAN. 25. The President took the chair at Half-past One. The Order of the Day was the adjourned discussion on the address. M. Gustave de Beaumont proposed the following ad ditional paragraph to stand as paragraph 7 :-- " She (France) hopes that the differences which have unhappily arisen between the Governments I 3 f France , , and Spain will not se r i ou sly derange t he union of the two countries and that recalling to mind the great in terests which connect them, and the common principle of th e i r i nst i tut i ons, they w ill pu t a speedy end to differ ences whi c h are w i t h out an y deep or national cause , " M. Gu s t ave d e Beaumont b egan by expressing his as tonishment at the silence maintained by . the speech from the throne, and the address on the Spanish question, and said that, whilst he admitted reserve in all cases where danger and inconvenience were to be apprehended from - disclosures, he mild the propriety of diplomatic not refrain from calling the attention of the Cham ber to facts which were no longer a secret to the world, but with respect to which there w as reason to fear th a t an incorrect view had been taken by the Cabinet. He could easily understand that the French Government was, after what h a d passed, in bad od our with that of S pa i n ; but such as the relations b e t ween the two Go vernments were, b e could see nothing i n them p position t S i u o n ifi c o i f the °nt gravityßegen Regent warrantoof Span, from h and the desi re o f the a rupture te ef t between the two countries.—(Applause The Honourable D e p uty i nqu i re d w hy, c onsidering th e pecu liar French Govern ment as to t h e m ode of accrediti ng an Ambassador, a simpl e Ch arg e d'Affaires had not been sent to Spain. The Government must have known that the distinction between a Charge d'Affaires and an Ambassa dor consisted, in the fact,-that the relations of a Minister Plenipetentiary are simply with the Government, whereas an Ambassador h as t h e r i g ht of establishi ng re l at i ons with the Royal personages at the head of the Govern ment ; consequently, the appointment of an Ambas sador is a mark of respect towards the head of the Go vernment. If it was not intended to pay this re spect to the Government of Spain, why was an Ambas sador appointed in this case ? He did not believe that it was predetermined to create difficulty and embarassment on a question of etiquette ; but it was not the less true that the difficulty had been created. The French Cabinet ought to have reflected that the first and grand object was to draw closer the relations between the two Governments, and he must be permitted to observe that the way to do this was not to deny the character of the person who was at the head of affairs in Spain. The Hon. Deputy repeated that the struggle for dignity, which had been made in the affair of M. de Salvandy by the French Government, was wholly founded in error, for no indignity could have arisen from the presenting of his letters of credence to the Regent. In vain, said M. Gustave de Beaumont, in conclusion, would Spain seek to ally itself with a more disinterested nation than France ; in vain would France seek for a more safe ally than Spain. M. Guizot—l ought, perhaps, to refuse to enter upon the discussion called for by the Honourable Deputy who has just spoken, for his observations turn upon a question which is still pending ' and which may from one moment to another assume a different complexion. But fearing lest my silence should be made a pretext to deceive, and lead the Spanish nation into error, I have made up my mind to speak. The amendment which has been pro posed to you appears to me to be full of inconvenience as regards the French Government, Spain, and the Cham ber itself. The Chamber will recal to mind at what pe riod the Cabinet of the 29th October entered into relations with the Spanish Government; it was just after the revo lution of September. The Chamber knows that anti-French movements accompanied this revolution. I could reveal the causes of them, but I will not do so; I shall confine myself to the bare fact. The policy of the Government has been to keep up friendly relations with the Spanish Government, and to convince Spain of two things; first, that we would refrain from exercising any influence in the internal affairs of the country, or mixing ourselves up in the slightest degree with the Government ; and, secondly, that we would not regard Spain as an arena for struggles or rivalry with any other Power, whatever it might be. We were moderate and patient, and by degrees we gained some ground ; the relations be came more friendly ; the Anti-French feeling result ing from the revolution of September gradually ceased. A Spanish Minister came to-Paris. A circum stance which was of importance as to our position with Spain occurred ; the British Ministry was changed. All these things were of a nature to induce us to send an bassador to Spain. At the moment when this decision had been come to, the insurrection of the frontier took place in Spain. You will know what accusations hate been brought against the French Government on this subject. I affirm to you most positively that these ac cusations were totally unfounded, totally undeserved. We had already and for some time past been giving the most friendly notice to Spain of what was passing on her frontiers. We had informed her of our having discovered expeditions of arms and munitions. Notice was given of this to the Spanish Con sul at Bayonne. We had said to Spain " Take care ! " The Spanish Minister in Paris required that the Spanish refugees, who were crowded on the French frontier, should be sent into the interior. This application was immediately complied with. He addressed another application to the French Govern ment, which was on the instant and peremptorily refused. I need not say what that application was.—(Applause.) Such, Gentlemen, was the conduct of France as regarded the insurrection in Spain. Everybody knows that there resulted from this movement an anti-French feeling on several points of the frontier. Our subjects were threatened, as were even our ships in the port of Barcelona. From the moment, when order appeared to be restored in Spain, it was the duty and interest of France to resume her old relations with that country, and to dispel the transitory clouds of dissension which had shown themselves. It must have been evident to Spain that this was the feel ing of the French Government, when an eminent man was seen to leave France as Ambassador, animated with feelings of conciliation, and, above all, of respect for the young Queen, over whom France was anxious to throw the protection which a great nation could offer to a friendly country in the existing circumstances of Spain. Such were the intentions which influenced the Govern ment when the Ambassador was appointed—such were the instructions that he received. When the French Ambassador to Spain left for Madrid he had been already appointed• several months. There had been plenty of time for it to be known in Spain to whom he was accredited. It was known that he was accredited to Queen Isabella—no mistake was possible on this head. When he had arrived in Madrid, in his second, not his first, interview with the Minister of Foreign Affairs arose the question of which so much has been said. On this question France has conducted herself according to the regulations of the Spanish Monarchy, and according to the international law of Europe. An Ambassador was to be sent to the Queen of Spain ; he could not deliver his letters of credence to an accredited Minister of that Queen. He could only de liver them into her own hands. This is the con firmed practice. A recent and striking instance of this practice may be mentioned. The Regent of Brazil had set up a pretension to receive per sonally the letters of credence addressed to the young Sovereign. All the States of Europe refused to recognise this pretension, and he was obliged to give way. The question is not one of pure etiquette. It is the monar chical principle, that in cases of minority all that apper tains to honour and etiquette belongs to the person of the Sovereign; all power and authority belong to the Re gent. The minority of a Sovereign is not a total eclipse of Royalty. It must show itself on all proper occasions, and in which there is only homage to receive and no power to be exercised. These are not vain formalities ; it is by them that monarchical principles are kept up in the minds of the people ; if there is to be monarchy, there must also be the observance of these forms.—(Applause.) In answer to what I have said, the declaration of the Cortes against the course adopted by the French Go vernment may be mentioned. Spain, Gentlemen, has an undoubted right to interpret the articles of her constitu tion in her own way ; but her right is not our right; her opinion is not our opinion • and I feel it proper to say at once that we do not think we can with advantage to Spain and ourselves, have an Ambassador in Spain, on conditions such as Spain has laid down. A Deputy, on the left of the Chamber, said, " Then why did you send one ?' M. Guizot—l have already said why we sent an Ambas sador. We have no reason to suppose that any difference of the nature of that which has taken place would arise, and we had no reason to withhold from Spain the service and friendship of France. Spain has not appreciated the services which France was willing to render, and this, be assured, she has been told by her best friends. If the Speech from the Throne has been silent on this question it was because the French Government thought that the greatest service which it could render to Spain, in existing circumstances, was in not being the first to talk of it to the world. The question now is whether the Chamber, whilst in discussion on the Address in reply to the Speech from the Throne, will really make its Address an echo of that of the Cortes of Madrid.— (Applause.) Yes, Gentlemen, you are by the amendment which is now submitted to you, really called upon to put into your Address an answer to the paragraph of the Address of the Spanish Cortes.—(Sensation.) Is that -vhat you are desirous of doing ?—(Cries of "No, no.") I hope that as this question is still pending, the Cham ber will not substitute one diplomacy for another, and in sert in the Address to the King a reply to the Spanish Cortes.—(Cries of " No, no, and " Aux voix.") M. Odilon Barrot ascended the tribune, but so great was the agitation which prevailed in the Chamber, and the apparent impression produced by the speech of M. Guizot, that ten minutes elapsed before he could make himself heard, and several Deputies had already quitted the Chamber, and proceeded to the Salle des Con ferences. He said that he would not seek to embitter the question, but would imitate the reserve of the Mi nister for Foreign Affairs, and, above all, the conduct of the Spanish Cortes, which had on this occasion main tained great reserve. He would merely observe that the Queen of Spain being a minor, and the Regent ap pointed by the country being charged with the exercise of the Royal 4uthority, he had acted properly in refusing to cede any of the dignity belonging to his office. The Ministry sent an Ambassador to Spain ; and although the preceding Ambassador had delivered his creden tials to the Queen Regent, M. de Salvandy had refused to deliver his letters to the Regent. The sense of the Constitution on this point had been interpreted by the Cortes, which had declared their determination to uphold the pretensions of the Regent. Ministers of France, said M. Barrot, have the courage to demand a similar adhesion from this Chamber.—(Applause from the left.) You will not do so, for you know that the Chamber will not admit this distinction of a Regent by right of birth, and of a Regent by right of election. You wish to preserve silence. I also would be silent if my silence could aid the solution of this affair, but it would not, and there is no inconvenience in allowing the voice of I France to be heard. And what moment have you chosen for this pusillanimous silence ? A moment when all our alliances are at an end. There remained to France only one fr.:s!ndly Power whose Government was founded on the same principle as our own, and now for a vain question of etiquette you have just separated us from that Government.—(.applause from the left.) See what progress we have made since the period when we wished our revolution to extend beyond the Pyrenees, and sent proclamations and emissaries into Spain. We are now come to draw distinctions between Regents of birth and Regents of election. For a national and revolutionary policy we have substituted a policy of persons and eti quette. It is time to put a stop to proceedings so fatal to liberty and to government,—(Applause from the left.) M. Mauguin said, that he should regret exceedingly to indulge in any observations which could widen the broach between two countries whose interest and honour it was to draw closer and closer the relations which existed belmeen them. He could not, however, refrain from sayin g that in the course which the French Go vernment had ,Ndopted, it had overlooked what was due to Spain. It was evident that according to the Spanish Constitution the po wers of Royalty were exercised by if an Ambassador was sent the Regent, an d, ther,.‘ibr e, to Mad r id, it was p ro p er that his credentials sh ou ld b e delivered to the Regent. All nations had a right to make their own Constitution:;, and Governments which sought alliance with them coni,:3 not expect to succceed, if they overlooked the constitutional rights held by the person at the head of the State. 111. Durand (de Romorantin), am ,'4 loud calls for the cloture, said he had he ar d i t asserte d that M. de Sal vandy had been driven out of Spain by th,l influence of England. He wished M. de S a l v a n dy to state what were the facts on the subject.—(Loud cries of " No, 110.-") The amendment wa s th en p u t t o th e vo t e end reje..lte" Paragraph 7 was then read— " Faithful to the promises -which she has made, France demands with perseverance the accomplishment of the promises which she has recoived. The Chamber reminds Europe of the rights of the Polish nation, so positively stipulated by treaty. This was adopted without discussion. Paragraph 8 was then adopted without discussion. Paragraph 9 was then put to the vote and adopted. M. Lestiboudois proposed to add the following to pa. ragraph 9 " Amongst these bills we shall place in the first rank that which should render perfect the legislation as to the census of property liable to taxation, and guarantee all the rights of the public treasury, by securing the re gular co-operation of the municipal authorities. It being now six o'clock, the consideration of this amendment was postponed, and the Chamber adjourned. The Second Chamber of the States of Hanover has rejected a proposition for authorising marriages between Jews and Christians on condition of the children being brought up in the Christian religion, or, at least, to de clare valid such marriages made in foreign countries without any intention of evading the laws of Hanover. The King of Bavaria has authorised the publication in the Augsburg Gazette of a letter from his Majesty, expressing his satisfaction at that journal having warmly advocated the agricultural and manufacturing interests of Germany against those of foreign countries. The Belgian Consul at Charlestown has acquainted the Government that the law of the United States re specting the Customs, requires that the invoices of goods sent from foreign countries shall be signed (visees) by the Consular agent of the United States in the port from which they are exported. This formality is so essential, that goods which arrive without invoices so certified are sequestrated in the warehouses till the proprietors produce the necessary certificate (visa) or give security to produce it within three months. This is an important fact, which seems to have es caped the notice of some Belgian merchants, for the Consul of Charlestown says, that goods from Antwerp had arrived in that town, which were not provided with the papers required by the American laws, and that great inconvenience had arisen in consequence of this omission.

Will they not soon speak of the quackery of the free winds of the atmosphere? Perhaps, too, they will describe the free course of the planets, and the free growth of plants, as quackery. It is at least clear that free intercommunication between bodies of individuals, politically separated, is as much or dained by Nature as the free intercommunication of bodies of men not:politically separated, and as the free course of the winds. Nature ordains free trade; the supposition that fools of states men can mend her works, and promote the hap piness of mankind by regulating and.restricting that which Nature has made free, is sorry, not to say impious, quackery.

Very favourable advices have again been received from one or two of the Continental silk markets, where improvement was not generally anticipated. Under date of the 20th instant, we are in formed that a large business had been done at the Valencia fair, the trans actions in a few days amounting to 3,500,000 f., and full rates being obtained for the quantity sold. The raw silk market has been more active in London re cently, and better prices have been obtained, and it is to be hoped the accounts reaching us from abroad will tend to confirm the improvement, On the Ist instant, the stocks of raw silk here were 900 bales of Italian, 5,321 of Bengal, and 1,750 of China, being much lower than at this time last year, as respects all but Bengal.
