The discussion on ►he projet re specting individual liberty was again resume►l in the Chamber of Deputies on Saturday. M.Coum voiszEß, at considerable length, went over the ;rounds upon which he proposed his amendment. It was decidedly opposed by the 'Minister of the Interior, and, after some discussion, negatived ; as were also the amend►uents proposed by the Committee. The Ist article of the projet was put to the v(ite, and agreed to al originally drawn up by the Minisrty, with merely an addition direct- ing a copy to be delivered of the order of arrest. In the 2d Article, General Folr proposed an amend ment chiefly technical, which was likewjse nega• tived. Another amendment, proposed by Al. LA. CROIX. FRAINVILLR, that the accused, after his first interrogatory should be allowed to appoint an advocate to defend him, produced a long debate. The Appel nominal was resorted to, when there apptertd for the anteridtuent 114, against it 133. The !urzher discussion was again st!jouttied till 'Alotaday. The Chamber of Peers *also assembled on Saturday. They were met ely occupied with Petit ions. A Grand Deputation was appointed to attend the Funeral Ceremony at St. Denis, R 4 vas likewise one by the Chamber of Deputies.--The following ate extracts : " PACs, INlAttcx 12.—The King transacted business yemerday with the Ministers of the In terior and of War. The Duke de Richelieu was with his Majesty for three hours. The King took an airing to St. Cloud. "M. Vincent, formerly an Agent of Polies, bail been arrested, and also General GuiHet. The Litter being ill, remains, h is said, at his resi dence, under the surveillance of too Gendarmes. (Journal de Paris.) Oue of the Journals states, that an Agent of Police, who was connected with Louvel, has been arrested at his residence.--(Gazette de France.) " A Marechal de Camp, a spit of M. de C. received 120,000 francs on the eve of his Excel- lency's depart ure.--(lbid.) " The King will be present at Saint Denis on Wednesduy, incognito. "M. Vincent, who was arrested - on Friday in the Rue de Richelieu, never was an Agent of Police, nor ever had any connection with the wretch Louvel. His innocence was immediately acknowledged, and he was set at liberty three hours after his arrest.—(Journal des Debars.) General Guillet was arrested by virtue of a manditt of arrest, issued from the office of the Court of Peers.—(lbid.) FIVE PER CENTS. Shut price Saturday, z .D:l% „72 f. c. DEFERP.ED srocK. Of the 23ti Sett. (The above Jotiule:c cfintaita no further 1111w6 hAtever from Spain.) If the limes fe',.t the impolite of an inverted ambition, and was desirous of courting infamy, it could hardly take a better course for that purpose, t!tan by its perseverance in sapport of its own faieehood, viz. an intended increase of the Civil LiAt. It wo.sld he mach ',wiser for it to drop sub;ect, and confess that it was a mere election. Faring trick. But the Paper seems to hove some sense of shame ; for being' desp;.seci for falsehood, it eEects criticism, and attempts to evade con• tridiction by a discovery, that tue Courier rows nn langusge bat its own. We know the coni:czar' of c:;at Paper, and are persuaded film in general info: - nation and classical attainments, as wtll as political integrity, he possesses far su perior claiu to public resrect :hen the boasting Pedant of the 'limes. But this is a trilling consi deration, comport(' %vitt; the.peiseverance of the Times in falsehood. I.ft us recttr to the fact. The Times asBevted, t!sat it was the incention of Ministers toad,' at ledst hail a million to the Civil List. Tice Courier pronounced tlCs a falsehood. The Mornirg Post, upon a more enlarged inquiry,. confirmed the sta! etnen t in at Courier. The Times maintained the falsehoot a day or two, and theta skulked into evasion. let us see what it says this day on a subject wts.h it is too proud to drop, and is wholly unabl: to support. In reply to the Courier it says—" He denies the wicked project of increasing he Civil List.— Does he It his denial he tiu , , he is most un fortunate in his character, fur no one believes him ; and we would advise Muisters, if, not withstanding the abuse which they heap upon him, they still mean to retain bin in their service, to establish two Journals—the Courier for lies, and another for nut!) ;'' and then the Times attempts by the assistance, no doubt, of some pour Usher of a School, to alley' his scholarship by a reference to VIROILIS gates of ivory, and horn. But is this such an answer to the accu sation of falsehood as the people have a right to demand of a public Journal that bas imposed upon them by false intelligence ? And this an swer, such as it is, is confined to the Courier, and takes no notice of the more ample contradiction of the Morning Post. As to the establishment of a new Journal for which the Times recom mends to Ministers, it would be indeed a wanton, prodigal, and needless waste of public money for that purpose while there is such a Journal as the Old Times. We have the pleasure to congratulate the Public on the termination of all the Election tumults in the City of London. The result is nut such as we wished, but upon the whole it is satisfactory. We feel great respect fur 'Mr. Wicsote, and ere glad that so very respectable a character is sigain one of the Representatives of the great Capital of the 1Vorld; but we should have been snore glad if so very faithful and active a servant as Sir WILLIAM CURTIS had been at the head of the Poll, as the worthy Baronet has been a faithful servant of the Publie. He has acted with an in dependent spirit, that spirit which has characterized uirn through life in all its relations. His dispo- sition is friendly, and his hospitality is the flow of a generous and benevolent nature. Mr.WiLsoN is, by all accounts, a very eatitnahle man, but how ever he may be respected in private, he had not an opportunity of showing his regard to the interests of the City to the same extent as the worthy Baronet, and though he may be laudably proud of being at the head of the Poll, he cannot but feel conscious that it was rather the situation which Sir XVILLIAN CURTIS ought to have occupied. The LORD MAYOR is another of the Representatives on whom the ehoice.of the City has very properly fallen.—He has given a ' good specimen of lois conduct as the first Magis trate of the City, and we trust that he support his character with equal credit as a Legislator. As to Mr. WAITIISIAN, we never objected to him as a Retail Tradesman. This is a free Country, in which men of talents, knowledge, and industry may rise to any height in the State below Royalty. It would be hard indeed if a respect- able Tradesman, who bad raised himselt to a state of independence, should be denied the power of assisting in Legislative Coun• cils because be keeps a shop. Such preju- dices would show a narrow, bigotted, mind.— Some of the noblest families in the Country had their origin in a shop, and we hope, for the honour or our free Constitution, that many others may hereafter rise from the same source. We object to Mr. WAITIIMAN on account of his temper, his principles and his views. We think that they are of too radical a description, and though we are persuaded that be would be little efficient in Par liament, yet we wish not to see the slight es t tinge of nadicalioa, if possible, in that Assenshly, the great hal wark.of the Constitution in Church and State. We feel no Plight degree of pleasure in finding, by a Letter which we received this morning, that the ancient and respectable City of Coventry, though it is not likely to possess Parliamentary Representatives worthy of its commercial credit, will yet be able to rescue itself from the odium of being represented by such a roan as CQBedvrx, who has rendered himself the object of detesta tion and horror to all but the very lowest and most abandoned of mankind, iu this country and America. We agree with our Corretpundent, whose Letter we insert this day, that the other two Candidates are not such men as we wish to see represent Coventry, or any other place, but, as old Lear says, " Those w;cked creatures yet do look well-farour'd, " When others are more: uicked ;—uot being the worst " Stands in some rank of praise." Bat the most gratifying inference to be drawn from the prospect is, that Cossevr is now so generally despised that he will oniy be able to hold up his head moug the veriest ►cntn of Radicals, who not only disgsace this country but human nature itself.—ile " will not ►much tirough Coventry with iheru—tbc'g tia;." uhNERAL ULU lON. WE. MINSTER ELECTION.-SIXTH DNY, The proceedings of this Election were resumed this morning at the usual hour ; bat the i'oll was very languid during the early part ; it, however, began to brisken towards the middle of the day .a-- The exertions of the Baronet and his party have had the effect of obtaining a majority over Mr. LAME, but this circumstance is attributed to the absence of several of that Gentleman's friends, they being from London on the business of their own Elections. Mr. MACDONALD and several others having arrived in Town, proper steps will be taken, and the Radical Candidate will be placed in his proper situation on the Poll. Mr. JONES BURDETT and others were this morning scouring Tothillfields, and the other respectable parts of that neighbourhood, the costermongers, &c. which had the effect of adding greatly to the number of 'persons in the front of the Hustings. A proper distribution of the Police, however, had the effect of protecting the persons and property of the Electors going to and from the Poll. At half past ore the Numbers were as under : Sir Francis Burdett 2375 Mr. Hubliouse 2441 Mr. Lamb l5Oll CONTESTED ELECTIONS. -- STATE OF THE POLLS YORK, MARCH 13. ...

His MAJESTY, whose health and spirits continue hourly to im prove, took another lengthened promenade, at tended by the Right Honourable Sir B. BLOOM FIELD, on the inclosed ground of the Palace yes terday. His Illoastav's appearance was 111031 pleasingly cheerful, and he seemed much to enjoy the refreshing walk.—(Brighton, March 13.) The health of the Princess SOPHIA, - which has been in a very indifferent state for some years, is not at all improved by her residence in town. — Her Royal Highness has been long subject to nervous affections, and they are rather increased than otherwise, now that she is, in a great mea sure, debarred the exercise on horseback, which, whilst at Windsor, she was in the habit of taking for several hours every •day. The Dukes of YORK, CLARENCH, and GLOUCESTER, ViSil her Royal Highness, at Cambridge House, almost every day ; and Prince LHOPOLD is frequent in his enquiries. Ma. WEST.—The late President of the Royal Academy was a native of the Province of Pennsyl vania, where the strong natural bias of his genius first developed itself, and recommended him to the munificent parsonage of the late Lord Proprie tary, TRomns PENN, for whom he painted the ce lebrated Indian Treaty concluded by the illustrious Founder, which is now in the possession of Mr. Perim, and which laid the basis; of that justly me rited fame which procured for Mr. WEST the ho nour of the favourable notice of the best of Sove reigns, whilst it secures to aim the approbation of the latest posterity. COYENTaY, NiAitca 14. Numbers polled this evening at four o'clock :•"" 1423--Moona, 1377--Cosairrr, 516 . Total polled, 1984, In consequence of the activity ()four Police and the very jsadicious conduct of our Aligistratest 011 Saturday, and since that period, there has an t been any more violence or ill usage to any person; the hustings are as easy of access as any pri" te house, and hundreds have polled for Moony and ELLICe who do not approve of them, because thel +would spew their detestation of COBIVETT; an d not because the conduct of any of the three Car' dictates is approved, for the general opinion is° they are all three nearly of one'sentiment, Mr. Moons is the most violent and abusive ! is reported by COBaETT'S friends that they 116 0 evidence sufficient to render the Election void' and that it is their intention to bring it before tl►C !louse of Commons at the earliest period possible• After polling till four o'clock yesterday, it WO given out that Coispgrr had resigned, partly of casioned by his not being in the booth all the day, and from some expressions he had made use of to his friendly; but this morning we v!erescv prised at being inforMed that the polling was going on as usual. Several drums have been through ths streets to call up the voters, and just at this tiros M. and 17,:ss party are parading with the knave's post, a ridiculous wooden figure of a tau (minor criminals were usually flogged at the cart's-til through the city, commencing at the place where the knave's past was fixed) marked COSsErr the figure was at liberty on account of the house against which it was originally fastened . being pulled down, which gave Coßaßrr i a opponenti an opportunity (too favourable to be omitted) tor their diversion, and it being taken from the pilule at which minor offenders have been usually flogged by the beadle, was ludicrous enough it is made of good old oak, and I expect will be the subject of a mock flagellation before the faro') concludes. We expect the whole business to be conclutteil this evening or to-inorrow. Surely a more wilt , . ing example cannot be necessary to spew tll utter impropriety of ANNUAL ELECTIONS or Liai 6 versal Suffrage. Coßearr has not been at the hustings Saturday. Having traced the origin and progress of our Election tumult so near to its close, it may no t be necessary for me (unless sorneihing naateri 3l . occurs) to send above another letter on the sub. ject.

Certain it is be never need come here 2g:tit', for 1 do not think any housekeeper, either public or private, would receive bim if he were known. THE Co NSPIRATORS.--The Special Commission fur the trial . of the Conspirators was issued 0 4 Monday. The Lord Chief Justices of the•Couß } of King's Bench and of the Common Pleas, and other Judges, are included. The Sheriffs were yesterday engaged in making arrangements for • summoning the Grand Jury. It is expected that this Jury will be directed to appear at Flicks t Clerkenwell, on Monday week, to receies the charge of one of the Commissioners. The prie goners, should the bills preferred against them found, will be entitled to ten days' notice previous to trial, from the time of their being . furnisbcd with copies of the indictments and lists of cbg ,wituesses and Jury. A man of the name of Hai' ward, a journeyman shoemaker, residing in Long° Alley, Moortields, was yesterday morning awe' hended upon a warrant charging him with High Treason. He has been in sonic way connected with the Conspirators who stand Coonnitted ftpr ttiaL Tire Inverness Courier of Thutiday contains furtber.particulars of. the late riot of the tenantrf ' in Ross-shire.; but adds : " We have heard, and hope it may be true, that the - rioter's are awakened to a sense of their misconduct, and are sending down messengers, expressive of regret for thair late outrage, and of subniission to the laws which they offended." The singular return of four Members front 13 .1 shop's Cast, the v,otes for each being equal, the fi rst business that most be taken notice 0 1 after Parliament meets and is constituted. The vote which would have cast the balance, k is said , was refused by the Returning Officer. A youth, who was born on the 10th of March, tendered bIY vote on the 9th, as being 21 years of age no that day ; be was rejected, as not being of age till the 10;11. After the return of the Hon. I. F.
