It is thought that judgment in his case proMulgatcd.next week. A considerable esrort of English Nvaggons, laden with baggage, &c. passed along the quays this morning, th'rough the_barrkr of the Throne. We see no louger games. of chance played upon the boulevards of the Temple, which occasioned such a tumultuous asiembiage of sharpers and other exceptionable char.4etets. CHAMBER OP DEPUTIES, nrc.-1-6;; Several propositions were made by different Members, but of such a nature that the Chamber, voted the order of the day upon them. M Damentel tie Claiss,' a Counsellor of the Royal Court of Besancon, solicited, in the way of petition, the suppression of divorces, as subver. sive of public - inorak, and even of stability of a legitimate Government. These, and several other ,petitions touched upon by the :Reporter, tver,• ultiniat,ely referred to the Committee charged L*o Illi•tke 8 report npon the Law of Amnesty . : Montioye and other inhabitants . of Paris demanded a solemn itc.-61ration an the part of the Asstiublv, in the name of a!!

Some clehlte on the subject took place, which termilwed by the adoption of the prflieet iu iff i ametitlect shape, by a majority of 2.51 to 3.

The Duke of Reggio had the hoflour, this morning, to ptescnt try Monsieur a medal. struck in honour and commemoration of the homage rendered to his Royal Highness on the fete of St..Chatles. A detachment of veterans (the National Guards) this.day mounted guard at the posts of the Valais Bourbon and the. Chamber of Deputies. - PANS, DEC. is thought, that the Duke - D'Augouleme will not return to . Paris before the begiuning of next year. They talk of the ap proaching departure of Viscount de Chat eaubriand on his Swedish Embassy, to which be was ap pointed Just year by, the King. . • lt.is.‘vitbout doubt some malicious person who gave to an EveniUg Paper the news of the arrest fti General Clausel.

It appears certain ligwever,,,that General Decaen Las beep discover ed and arrested. A report was spread yesterday evening that the fatuity of M. de Lavalette had reason to hope that the steps taken - to obtain' the pardon of M. De Lavalette would have a happy result.

DEc. 7.--PrinceMetternich arrived here four o'cllck dila morning, from -Paris,— His Nighties§ reposed only :t few hours, when he proceeded on his mute to Venice to join the Em perm of Austria, who does not mean to quit that renorvued city until the.famous horses of Corinth and the Lion of.tit. Mark shall be replaced. This roccediag is t.Npect::d Shortiy , to take Place with Last night, Paris Papers of the 17th reached us. In the Chamber of Deputies, on the preeed. ing day, a petition was presented, the reception of which spews how general the desire is to be extricated " front, the false morals, as well As false politics of the Revolution--a petition for, preventing that shameful facility of divorce, Which is permitted by the new French l• •-S s aa . 'eral other persons had for their object the appli f cation of the , fortunes of those, who promoted the return of BUONAPARTE, to the relief of the State, distressed' by thc.effects of his second usurpation. , This relief has hitherto been considered by the French Government, as tov slight to be worth a ; hut. we hope they will be•obliged to adopt the better policy of these honest petitioners, and to seize the hoards of political felons, not only as matter of relief to the State, but as consolation to one part of the community, and of example.to the other. We have received Canada and United Stites Papers. The latter are not of a date so recent as those previmudy in our possession. The Ameri cans arc tunnitniful neither of •Commeteial. nor Political Advantages. The project for a canal from Albany to Lake Erie is revived ; •this, when the war duties are taken, off, would make New York the centre of nearly the whole trade of Upper Canada. -They are going to build on the lines a 'fort to command the navigation of Lake Champlain, and which will form adepot for the future invasion of Lower Canada, in the event of a new war. Another between St. Regis and Ogclensbnrg, will probably soon follow,. to command the navigation of St. Lawrence ; so that between forts and canals, and the inflaencc which they may be able to acquire in the Canadas, they will think themselves pretty sure of success the next trial. The balance of l infinence arising from extensive communication is entirely o❑ the side of tLe United States. It is very cash to . etilf to wake as .Anierican a i3ritish co:orlist. Great improvements are in contemplation i n ,LOW dl' Canada, with a view to the facility of trade with their American neighbours. The open ing of new roads to the American lines, is 'among the most important of the plans lip agitation.— Some of the opposers of this plan contend, that ily,6 proposed improvements will have the effect of diminishing the -prices of agricultural produce in the Canadas. The advocaLos of the scheme, on the other band, maintain, that upon an ave rage the prices would rather be augmerted, upon -the principle, that in ordinary times, the price of such produce is higher in the sea -ports of the New England States than at Quebec. The con sequence of god roads extending to the lines, Would he to bring the prices nearly to a leiel, the distance being nearly equal. The prices at Boston, for instance, would be ,diminished, and those at Quebec raised. it is only in extraorli- nary times, such as during embargo and . tvar, that the Quebec market would be the gainer ; and it is nut likely that these times will speedily return. Private Letters of the 18th ult., from New York confirm the reports front France, of. great emigrd tion from thence to America., Upwards of 100 French Officers had al rived different parts of the United States. Mr. MADISON, they say, does riot view the fugitives wizh ;oil eye of so much complacency as he would have done about three years ago. The proposal for a new arrangement of 'the - Germanic Confederation has given birth to an infinity of wild, and chimeriCai s theories ; and the best Infortucd persons apply to many parts of Ger ntany, at present, the - description which the do 7 .eut author of the Tableau de l i t Litterature Franeaise gives of Ins own country, just previously to the Revolution : " Confused notions of govern ment, of legislation, and of, public economy, caused a fermentation in all minds. There was in ' the nation a vague desire of perfectibility, an in toxication •of supposed new light, a lofty disdain of past tunes; in short, an effervesceuce daily and hourly increasing. "All classes, all conditions pro duced authors and philosophers ; but in default of thoughts and sentiments, most of them were merely excited by words ill explaind, and worse underStood.'"f be Germans are more favourably situated ; and we trust, that whatever there may be among them of wild and impracticable in . theory, 'will •be moderated and corrected by the wen of illustrious talent, and practicable wis dom, who ate to be found in th'e councils of ninny of their -Sovereigns, or have distinguish ed themselves by writings foil of'reseech and political wisdom, France had the --ritisfortune to rush first into the revolutionary vortex, — She first became the prey of the bad men who knew how to flatter her prevailing fillies, and . who led her on from crime to crime by the most specious professions, -and the most artful delu-. sious, Nations have now learnt to be less confi dent. They do not trust men on the credit of a few high sounding phrases. Tftey look to the evidence of an irreproaehable life, to a consistency in the paths of hononr—in short, to the character of the man as displayed in his conduct. We are sorry.“) state that o.ur• Port Letters of this inornilq; au non nee considerable damage among the Shipping, from the continued violence of the gales. • The.discontented Party in England have a curi oils game in hand to phty at this moment : they have to retain in vie iv their old object of sustaining France against their native Country, but they , have also to disparage the Government of France. This di-fliculty therefore is to keep the Government separate, and as it were distinct from the natiOn ; never to identify them ; and always to take care in abetting our enemies, the Jacobin and &lona partist part of the population, ngt to promote the cause of the Royalists who may be considered as more friendly to us. Thus the KING ; the DTike of ANGOULEME ; the DuChess, neither whose sex, nor misfortunes nor heroism during the late Re volution procure for her one atom of respect from these generous antagonists ; t rvloNstana ; and the Duke of BEnar come in by turns for their share of the falsehood and malignancy belonging to the Faction. We have in former publications ani madverted on the onsustaitied aspersions cast on the three first mentioned of these personages as bloody and gratuitously wicked persecutors. To- day, we shall limit our observations ,to the equally unsupported charges against the last fur ingrati tude towards the English. The BounuoN Primes are nothing tons, and our rental ks upon their con duct are too free to be acceptable in Paris, but jus tice is a duty which the Press owes to them, at least a s Much as to any other fancily. In pursuing this subject too, we are not without hopes that the cause of justice may be combined with the cause i(ma, Jaracter, and titiA: Olir remarks may induce a little more delicacy in the tone of British speeches and publications, pretending to hold language consonant to the feelings of the country.. The BounnoNs are greatly indebted to is it liberal or generous to be always reminding • them of their obligation ? Assuredly it is the yeti reverse ; and we are still more ashamed, when We hear tlke good offices we have been able to do them, held up as arguments for encroaching on their independence, for taking undue liberties with their station, and for demanding concessions front their gratitude, which their sense of propriety and justice refuses to sanction. Such a liue of conduct would disgrace any country, and is peculiarly unworthy of Great Bri- tain. Vet the feeling which would more. than anY other, restrain a cultivated n►indl or an enlightened people from the slightest semblance of dictation to parties under obligation io either, is not only much disregarded at the present time, but the opposite extreme has been inn into, and it formed the main,ground for passing the Resolutions at the City Meeting—that the Bourbons. owed us a debt of gratitude, and therefore we had a right to interfere in the Internal Government of France. We trust that so debasing a sentiment will, obtain .countenance throughout atir country, for it is one that does us no honour. The Duke of i=:•:r,rt has been especially condemn ed for pre.venting the British Offi , .:ers about Paris from sporting on his domains. We wish our gallant Countrymen had given themselves time for a little reflection they had, for brave men are ever li beral, they would not have so trespassed as to in vite this check. The very consciousness of hav ing been the means of restoring these domains VY the Duke of BERRI would have prevented them , from invading them even in search of pastime. The Royal ra:i.; at Windsor, the grounds of Hampton Court or Kensington Palace, would . ' have occurred to them, and they would have felt by anticipation what would have been their opi - • nion of French Officers, had they restored a Bri tish King, and used that as a privilege to intrude un these Royal seats, and strip them of their pint and venison. 'But it wag not our intention to have gone into details on this subiect- r -we now drop it, in the earnest hope, that some of the hints thrown out: nr.ty have the' effect of procuring more matur' consideration . of what is due to our NATIO)44". CLIAIZACTEI in this respect. • To 4o good is Dritish—to boast of it is not.--- To presume on favours bestowed, to e xact we could not otherwise have pretemlea_to, is still less al..;reeable to that dignity i n w hi c h consists , 'our greatness and glory.
