( From the Journal des Debate. ) PARIS, JUNE 7.—This is the second time that M. de Chateaubriand has been iolemnly deprived of his. situation. He was displaced in 1816, when Minister of State, for having attacked in his im mortal work of Monarchy according to the Charter the famous Ordonnance of the sth of September, which pronounced the dissolution of the Chan:bre introuvable of 1815. MM. de Villele and Cor biere were then merely Deputies, heads of the Royalist Opposition; and it was for having un dertaken their defence that M. de Chateaubriand became the victim of Ministerial vengeance. In 182.4 M.de Chateaubriand is again deprived of office, and it is by MM: de Villele and Cor biere, become Ministers, that he is sacrificed.— What a singular thing ! in 1816 lie was punished for having spoken—in 1824 he is punished for not having spoken. His crime is having remained silent during the discussion on the law of the ilentes. All disgraces are not misfoitunes. Public opinion, the supreme judge, will teach us in what class we must place that of M. de Chateaubriand ; it will teach us, also, whether the Ordonnance of yesterday will have been most fatal to the victor or the vanquished. The poor Savoyards, who first communicated a month ago, will receive confirmation from the hands of the Archbishop of Paris, on Thursday the 10th June, at nine o'clock, in the church of the Foreign Missions, Rue du Bac ; at three o'clock, vespers, instruction, and salut. Chari table persons are invited to repair thither, or to send their offerings, either to the Vicars-General of the diocese, or to the Cult': of the Foreign , Missions. [From the Courier Frangais.] M. de Chateaubriand, on repairing yesterday to the . Tuilleries, found, it is. said, the doors, which used to open at his approach, shut against him ; silence and solitude prevailed during his passage, which used to be through an eager crowd. Before he could comprehend the mean ing of this melancholy change, a Huissier ap proached and informed him, that a packet to his address had been carried to his hotel. M. de Chateaubriand hastened home, and found. the letter announcing his destitution. A grand' din ner, which was to take place the same day, was immediately countermanded. M. de Chateau briand quitted at the same lime the hotel of the Ministry, to the great disappointment of all those whom curiosity or malice brought in the evening . to see how the E x-Minister supported. his dis. grace. The choice of a successor to M. de Chateau, briand is now the subject of every conjecture. — M. de Polignac, who was designated as his su2+ cessor three days ago, is now hardly spoken of. The persons now named are M. de Caraman and the Duke de Doudeauville ; the latter to he suc ceeded in the direction of the Post Office by M. Sosthene de Larochefoucault. It is believed, also, that M. de Chateaubriand will not quit the Ministry alone ; M. de Villele has, it is said, -the entrance of M. de Martignac much at heart. They speak also of the creation of forty Peers, and the immediate presentation of a new project ofJaw, to operate a reduction in the Rentes. To crown these striking marks of favour granted to M. de Villele, it is said he is to receive the title of Duke. The Congregation* utters loud cries. re specting the dismiisal of M. de Chateaubriand ; it is pretended that it views this measure as an act of hostility against itself ; in this view, the withdrawing of the law relative to crimes com mitted in churches, is not, perhaps, without im portance.

He states he was carried off from the Temple in great secresy, brought up among the Alps, and afterwards sent to the island of Cuba, where he learned the trade of a carpenter, and where he resided till he came to this country.

Larl GROSVENOR postponed the second reading of the Game Laws Repeal Bill till to-morrow. POOR IN IRELAND. The Bishop of RAPHOE held a petition which was a monument of the union and harmony which happily prevailed amongst individuals of different communions in the place from whence it was sent. It was from the Parish of Kilmore, in the County of Armagh, and was signed by the Rector, Curate, and Churchwardens of the 'Parish, by the Catholic Priest, the Dissenting Minister, and the Inhabitants of all per -suasions. They prayed that a law be enacted to authorise the inhabitants of any parish in Ireland to maintain its own poor; but they did not wish that the enactment should be im perative. As the law now stood, the poor who were unable, from age or infirmity, to work for their own subsistence, had no other means of support than the charity of the parishioners. He should do an injustice to the character of the people if he did not say that the most charitable disposition prevailed, but, through want of good management, the benefits which it would otherwise produce were greatly reduced, and the misery.of the poor scarcely alleviated. The Petitioners believed•tiraesesum very little larger than that now expended in 'alms would- be sufficient, under a judicious management, to afford effective relief. A system of poor laws, such as the one existing in this country, would by no means be practicable in Ireland, and if practicable would not be desirable. But the dread'of introducing it was imaginary, and, he hoped, would not pre vent the object of the Petitioners from being granted; for all they asked was, that the voluntary acts of the inhabitants themselves be authorized and confirmed by law. The Right Rev. Prelate was then understood to describe the evil caused by emigration as greater in Ireland than in England, where it had, however, excited so many complaints, as most of the men who came over to work in this country left their wives and children without support behind them. He concluded by moving that the Petition be read. • The Earl of LIM ERICK had never been more surprised than when he heard such a measure introduced to their Lord ships' notice from such a quarter. He spoke in the hearing of many Noble Peers connected with Ireland, who would set him right if he was wroni3, when he said that a proposition of that sort would be received with terror and affright in Ire land, as one which, whatever shape it might at first assume, would end by establishing in that country, the same system of poor-laws which had done so much harm in this. It was really wonderful how generous men were of the property of others. He would suggest to his Right Reverend Friend a source from which it would be more-natural and proper that relief should flow. In the original institutio of benefices, their produce was divided into three parts : one ,of these was allotted for the maintenance of the Incumbent; the second for the repairs of the Church; and the third for the support of the Poor. If this disposition were revived, there might be no occasion for the establishment of Poor Laws. The only thing at which he rejoiced in the Petition was the harmony which evi dently prevailed amok+ t the various parties by whom it had been signed. • EarI•DARN LEV, though he had estates in Ireland, did not look with the same horror and terror as his Noble Friend to the measure prayed for by the petitioners. Something should be done for the relief of the poor in Ireland, but without proceed ing so far as to establish the same system of poor laws as existed in this country. Earl FITZWILIAAM put it to their Lordships whether a provision called for by every class and religious denomina tion-in this particular parish might not be adopted merely as an experiment ? After a few words from Viscount CLIFDEN, the petition was read and laid on the table. The Earl of LAUDE RDA LE presented a petition from the London Mechanics' Imitation, in favour of the Equitable Loan Company Bill.—Laid on the table. • The Marquis of DOWNSH IRE IRELAND MINES COMPANY. moved the second reading of the Ireland Mines Company -Bin. The Earl of LAUDERDALE said, that to read - that Bill a second time without first referrine it to a Select Committee would be to violate the Standing Order which their Lordships had established last week. It was ho wev er competent for the Noble Marquis to move that it be suspended. The Earl of II ARROW BY was one of those who had given his vote for excluding Bilk respecting Joint Stock Companies connected with Ireland, from the op era ti on of the New Stand ing Orders: els it was som et imes necessary, for the purpose of securing tranquillity to Ireland, to overlook some of those con stitutional principles by which legislation was generally di rected, it was also just, when her interests-required it, to over look some of those general principles of political economy by which the conduct of Parliament was usually regulated. The nature of the present Bill was such, that it was morally impos sible that a large proportion of the capital should be wanted for a long time ; and it could not be expected that such a sum as 400,0001., should be unnecessarily locked up in Exchequer Bills, at an interest of only 3per cent., long beforeit was want. ed. The Bill afforded sufficient security that its objects would be carried into effect. The Gentry of Ireland had come for ward, not with a view- to profit, but for the purpose of doing the greatest possible good to their country ; under these circum stances he trusted that their Lordships would agree to the motion with which he should conclude,. that the Standing Orders be suspended. - The 'Marquis of LANSDOWN ontirely concurred with the sentiments and the motion of the Noble Earl. He did not per ceive great utility in the multiplication of standing orders; but if the system of increasing them continued, he should be dis posed to propose one, directing that no standing order should be adopted unless it had previously lain three weeks on their Lordships' table. The Earl of LAUDERDALE did not appose the motion of the Noble Earl for suspending the last adopted Standing Orders, but defended their general utility. The motion was then agreed to, the Standing Orders sus pended, and the Bill was read a second time. The Earl of KINGS lON presented various petitions from parishes in the province of Munster, Praying that Churches might be built, and the Clergy forced to reside. The Noble Earl added that the Petition s were signed b y Roman Catholics as well as Protestants.—Laid on the table. INSURRECTION' ACT. The Earl of HA RR()%ITBY having moved th e thi r d rea di ng of the Irish Insurrection Act Continuance Bill, Earl DARNLEY said, that nothing but extreme necessity could induce him to give his assent to continue the measure for a single year. Ile trusted that a more extended inquiry would take place into the state of Ireland, with a view to adopt a more permanent system of relief : and he was convinced, that if that system was not founded on the restoration of rights to peace would never e b v e er e y st c a l b a l s i s sh o e f ndidi.TvihdeuNalsoiilnktlEmatrcleuwnatsryg, oitieng to comment on the evidence produced before the Committee of Inquiry, when The Earl of LIVERPOOL objected to the course followed, as that evidence was not on their Lordships, table. The time would com e w h en i t wou ld be right to lay the w hole or the greater part of it before Parliament ; but the Committee had thought that its production at present would only mar the ob jects of the inquiry. They considered themselves pledged to renew it next y ear on t h e most extended Scal e p oss ibl e ; b u t they were of opinion that the best way of coming to a satisfac tory result, was not to discuss the subject piecemeal. Earl DA RN LE Y explained. The Marquis of LANSDOWN stated, that if any indi vidual of the Committee was more to. blame than another from having prevented the evidence from being laid before the House, he was that individual, as he conceived that it would only serve to excite unsatisfactory discussions. Ile did not wish to delay the third reading of the Bill, but should move that the Report of the Committee be previously read, as it had not been printed, in order to put Noble Lords in possession of its contents, and to shew them that neither by its terms or by voting for the present renewal of the Bill, they should SUN. stand pledged to vote for the- Insurrection. act, as.a permanent measure. _ The Report having been read, The NOBLE MARQUIS said, that he thought the evidence justified the proposed renewal of the measure for a limited period, till the Committee should be able to resume the inquiry. This renewal was necessary, not for the sake of the rich alone, but for that of the poor. He then stated, that in the course of the next Session he should propose, not only to inquire into.the state of the Districts where the Insurrection Act should be in operation, but to extend it those where it had been. Lord HOLLAND only rose to be able to record on the Journals of the House the reasons which induced him to give, his decided vote against that unconstitutional and: illegal,Bill. He objected to it, not from any doubt of the existence of dis turbances in Ireland, but because he was convinced that, far. from tending. to tranquillize, such measures coultl,enly.serve.to perpetuate and aggravate the evils which it was pretended they would allay. They inculcated in the people disrespect of the laws ; whilst they taught the gentry to look for security, not to the preservation, but to the suspension and violation of those laws. He admitted that the conduct of the Govern ment of Ireland was mild and temperate, and that by, con ceding the late Committee, the Noble Lord opposite had open ed the door to inquiry, and created a gleam.of hope. But he was surprised that in introducing such a bill to the House, the Noble President of the Council should not have condescended to explain the grounds on which it was founded. The Earl of HARROWBY• explained, that having brought in the bill at the recommendation of a Committee composed of Members from both sides of tke House, and well versed in the situation of Ireland, and after it had been agreed that no evidence - should yet be produced, and that the House should be called upon to give a vote of confidence, he had thought it more respectful to suffer the measure to rest entirely on. the opinions of that Committee than on any statement of his own. —He admitted that it was impossible that the Insurrection Act should produce permanent tranquillity in Ireland, but it would prottire her a pause from violence—a breathing time, which ndert be employed by Parliament in devising better means of giving her lasting peace and security. After a few words from the Earl of CARBERRY, Lord PauramE, and Lord GORT, the Bill was read a third time, passed, and ordered to be returned to the Commons. • TYTHES IN IRELAND. The Earl of LIVEItPOOL having moved the second read ing of the Irish Tythes Composition Amend ment Bill, The Earl of KINGSTON was understood to oppoie it as calculated to give great advantages to the Clergy. The Bishop of LIMERICK defended the measure, and said that it did nothing more than give the Clergy what was their fair' right, whilst it tended to remove the grounds of difference be tween them and their parishioners. He then vindicated the Irish Church from the unjust charges brought against it in pe titions for Warded to both Houses, which he considered as an abuse of the right of petition, committed however not by those who presented, but by those who sent them. 'He showed by a reference to the charge of the Archbishop of Cashel and by seve ral other documents, that instead of non-residence being common in Ireland, the number of resident Clergymen was compara tively far greater than in England, and comprised nearly the totality of the Irish Clergy. He next adverted to those unjust and unconstitutional principles, that led men to attack the property of the Church ; and maintained that if it was once attacked, there 'Would be no security for any other species of property. The statements made as to the value of Bishoprics in Ireland, were also untrue. He could assure the House that there was not a Bishopric in Munster that netted so much as 5,0001. a year. The Bishop of Ossory did not for the last eleven years derive from his See more than 3,5001. a year. It had been recommended to make the Bishop's lands in Ireland available to the,expences of the Church ; but if such a thing were done, it would not only be a robbery upon the property of the Church, but upon the property of most of the landed proprietors in Ireland. In Prance the Revolutionists began with an attack on Church property, and that was soon followed by the confiscation of lay property, and the destruction of the right of primogeniture. Therefore, what had been done in France ought to operate as a warning to the Church Reformers of this country. Statements had gone forth representing some single Clergymen as possessing, five or six livings, but the fact was, that the incomes of such' livings taken together did not amount to more than•two or three hundred pounds a year. In Ireland no persons could' be admitted as Clergymen without a most expensive education ; they were first obliged to pars a long time at school, and then to pas four and a half years in the University of Dublin, a 'seminary of extensive learning, which had produced menof.the first character in science and li tera t u re, such as Archbishop Usher, Dr. Berkeley the great Metaphysician, Parnel the poet; and Goldsmith, Swift, Burke, a nd,Grattan. After a variety of other statements, his Lordship e ntered Ant() a general justification of all the measures lately O t tpßOil by . the tiovernment With regard to Ireland, especially the. Insurrection Act, and he was confident that in a few years those Measures would do more good than the mischief that had taken place in Ireland for centuries past. He again dwelt on the necessity of preserving the union and integrity of the Irish Charter, the least alteration in which would priduce revolution and ruin. Lord MN() observed, that up to the present time he bad considered the Ecclesiastical Establishment of Ireland more of a trade than a Church: this was the opinion of Mr. Burke, who had applied to it these words—Non est magna Becksia, sed magnum latrocinium. What was now wanted, was to make the Church of Ireland conformable to the wants of the people. Ile' should quote another opinion respecting this body. Dr. Paley had called the Church of Ireland a proud, haughty, do mineering aristocracy of Ecclesiastical wealth. The whole was a grinding system of oppression, particularly in the South of Ireland, where the tithe on potatoes was a despotism of modern date. It was a grinding Church, a useless Church, abounding with excessive wealth, and was the perpetual cause of disturb ance and outrage. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, that at that late hour, (a quarter past eleven), he should not enterinto any of the vari ous topics adverted to by the Right Rev. Prelate. But he felt it his duty to state that the Church Establishment of Ireland was guaranteed by the Act of Union. That had been frequent ly and distinctly recognised by a Noble Baron connected with the Noble Baron who had just spoken, who had been employed in drawing up the Articles of the Union. The Bill under con sideration was generally admitted to be highly beneficial, and be had never known an instance of a greater universality of opinion in favour of any measure. The motion was then put and carried • and the Bill went through the Committee , and was ordered to be reported to morrow (this day). EXCISE OFFICERS. Lord HOLLAND moved that the word " previously" should be omitted in the preamble and enacting clause of the Excise Officers' Indemnity Bill. After some observations from the Earl of LIVERPOOL, the motion, as we understood, was negatived, and the Bill passed. . Their Lordships adjourned at TWELVE O'CLOCK. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr. TR/ifT took the oaths and his seat. The Dublin Equitable Loan Bill, and the Thames Tunnel Bill were severally read a third time and passed. Petitions were presented from Hadleigh, in Suffolk; from Rye, in Sussex ; and from - Holywell, in Flintshire, praying for inquiry into the late proceedings against Mr. Smith, at Deme rara. —Ordered to lie on the table. Colonel WODEHOUSE presented a petition from certain Justices of the Peace in the County of Norfolk, praying for the removal of the Lent Assizes from Thetford to Norwich. After a few words from Mr. RIDLEY COLBORNE, Mr. W. SMITH, and Mr. C. HARVEY, the petition was read, and or dered to be printed. Colonel WODEHOUSE gave notice that he would to-mor row move for the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the subject. Mr. T.

BELFAST INSTITUTION. Lord A. HILL presented a petition cademtc lnsti- Vice-Governo n 1 Members of the Belfast Academic rs, a t to inqdire tution, praying that the Commissioners appointede Education of into the State of Public Establishment 9, for th from the Governors, P_R.ICE StVENPltlilek, Youth in Ireland, might be directed to inquire into the stab of p2e . lielfy4t Institution. . Mr. GOULIIU,R.N.sitieT , it might be proper to enquire into, the state of the BeTfaSt `institution, but he did not see that it' would be right to divert the attention of Commissioners ap pointed for other purposis froth Objects of - paramount import ance to make the proposed inquiry. Consistently with the ori-d‘ , ginal intention of t,at Commission, he did not see that it could be.done as the object of that was to inquire into the state of esta blishments receiving aid from the public. At present the in ? habitants defray the expellee of the establishment themselves, and he did not know that it would be expedient in the case ofa, town so populous to aid the institution in question by a grant • of the.public money. Mr. AIIERCROMBY was astonished at the conduct pur sued by Governmenrwith respect to the Belfast Institution.— the nature of the Institution known, and the manner in whio it had been conducted, he should have thought th a t their. greatful thanks would haye .been given with ready aid to the present petitioners. It was monstrous to refuse any. thing from the public money in support of such an institu tion, because it was connected with ' a populous town. It was not an annual grant that was wanted, but merely temporari: and for a particular purpose. The managers wished all parts of. their conduct to be subjected to a strict inquiry, beeaUse ,they knew the result could not but redound to their honour.—. He complained of the niggardly policy of Ministers, and refer ring to former p.rocedings, threw out an idea that their conduct had then been - influenced by a desire to extend their patronage . to the appointment of the officers of the Institution. Ile con-. sidered the establishment for the instruction of Presbyterian Ministers to be one that ought to be supported, as it was one of national importance. The petition was. then read. On the motion that it should , be printed; Mr. FORD spoke to the excellent management, so far as be . was competent to judge, of the Belfast Institution. He gave , his cordial assent to the-motion. _ ILA la 5.....,1,6".4s Mr. S. RICE supported the prayer of the petition, and moved as an amendment to the motion for the printing of the: petition, an Address to his Majesty, praying him to direct the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the State of Educa tion in Ireland, to take into their early consideration the state of the Belfast Establishment, and report to the House their opi= nions on the same. Sir J. NEWPORT maintained the state of the Belfast Esta= blishment was a legitimate subject for inquiry, and seconded the amendment. Mr. GOULBURN again admitted the propriety of looking at the state of the Belfast Institution, but objected to calling. the attention of Commissioners appointed for a different pur pose to leave that which was of paramount importance at Once, to enter upon this. Had he brought forward a proposition like . that now before the House, when the Hod. Baronet moved foi the appointment of the present Commission, he was confident that that lion. Baronet would have complained of such a pre-: ceetling as being intended to defeat the object of his snotion.— The lion. and Learned Gentleman had said that no annual grant was asked. He begged to state that it had always been understood that the Governors called for an annual grant, tar, cover the annual expences. The Government had refused this, and not a single grant of MOO/. as had been supposed. He denied that their conduct, on a former occasion, had been in fluenced by any wish for patronage connected with that esta blishment. Their conduct was regulated by a wish not to en= courage Institutions which went to separate persons of different religions. Such establishments the Right Hon. Baronet strongly objected to in some instances, and it was only the case of the Belfast Institution that he approved of the principle on which they were formed. Some conversation followed, in which Mr. S. RICE, Mr. C. HuTclimsoN, Sir J. NEWPORT, and Mr. GOU'LISURN par-. ticipated, and the last mentioned Hon. Gentleman again ex plained what he had previously advanced. Mr. Secretary PEEL rose to plead " Not Guilty" to the charge against Ministers for having on a former occasion de sired to possess themselves of the patronage of the Belfast In stitution. He briefly described what really did take place,' explained the course which had been pursued, and the reasons which had influenced his conduct. These stated, he trusted be had satisfied the House that the charge preferred by the Hon. and Learned Gentleman against the Government of a former day was unfounded. He had no objection to the Commis sioners extending their inquiries to the Belfast Institution, but he thought it would be inexpedient that the attention of the Commissioners should be first drawn to this subject, when other matters of superior importance claimed their attention. Those attended to, he had no objection to their subsequently inquiring into the state of the Belfast Institution. Mr. s. RICE expressed his entire concurrence in this propo sition. By that course being taken which the Right Hon. Gentleman had suggested, his object would be gained, and he would therefore, with the permission of the House, under these. circumstances withdraw his amendment. A further conversation took place across the table in whish- Mr. ABERCROMBY, Mr. BROUGHAM, Sir J. NEwPoRT, and Mr. Secretary PEEL participated. The Right Hon. Se cretary again distinctly disclaimed any attempt on the former occasion, to which reference had been made, to gain the patron age of the Belfast Institution. He had declined exercising a veto on the appointment of the Officer, from an apprehension that; imperfectly informed as he must be of the merits of this parties, it might be the cause of his doing serious wrong. He apprehended it was in the power of the Crown to autho. rize the Commissioners to extend their inquiries to the Belfast Institution. Should this not prove to be the case, lie on the very first day of the ensuing Session, would move for leave W bring in a Bill to remove any obstructions that might stand la the way. The Petition was ordered to be printed. Mr. CORE presented a Petition from Robert Gourley and other individuals, praying the Repeal of certain Taxes.-..Q r.. dered to be printed. Petitions were presented from Leominster, Abbotsbury, CuckEeld, and several other' places, against the continuance of Negro Slavery.—Ordered to lie on the table. A petition was presented from Thetford against the propos ed removal of the Lent Assizes from that town to Norwich.— Ordered to be printed. DEMERARA. Mr. P. GRENFELI, presented petitions from Palmoatb and Penryn, praying for an inquiry into the late proceeding* at Demerara. He described the situation of the slaves in that There existed an objection to allow them to be educated as colony, whatever it might be elsewhere, who ehuiloidonassu r e t o the b e most Hon .punish wretched.ieen mener vybebrf., cording to the principles of the Christian religion. NOW !n --deed could this be done there, 'seeing the Christian religion taught that men should love their neighbours as themselv was How could this be taught while the present system acted upon ?
