- same effedual measures tar tl,e stppression.of flare toniirtlties in fitture. 111 r. D.i.tts rose to second the motion, which he :thought lil been brought forward in a 'manner at sonrecani!ifl . and judicious. The questiOwappear- Td to him to be one of the grandest•na nitist 'portant that had ever been subniit;ed .to their , consideration, both as it affected the civil and -ligions liberties of mankind, avid tended to prevent filtole wanton effusion of human blocid.. 'WAS matter of astonishment, and for a long time to hint had seemed incredible, that the date of these enormities, in a neighbouring country, that of the restoration of the Dourhons, Sat that they should have_so long continued ITilder' the paternal sway of so benevolent a l'3,•vereigrt- as Louis XVIII. This could be attri buted to no other cause than the presentfeableness of that Govemment, lint did not make it less their imrer:itiee duty to take every such step as might, y evincing Cie oninions of tile people of this, coun try, have some effect. in lending ‘s eight and, energy' to the exertions and remonstrances of .our own. With respect to the truth of the horrid practices mitvprevailirig in France, althongh they bad not such evidcnceof them as might, in every particular, satisfy the sernpulons rules of a Court of Justice, they were such as created a moral belief ; and he that should note donbt of their existence, would .lardly be convinced by one who rose froio the •dead. It bad been the opinion of a deceased Statesman, that this country ought rather to con "singe the war than give up the abolition of the -slave trade. He did not go quite so far as the whole length of the principle, but be was sure that we should not do our duty if we neglected to !take advantage of peade, and , exert our efforts to restore tranquillity and toleration to a people torn by such dreadful divisions, and exercising such linrelentiug persecution amongst themselves. Mr. OLDHAM expressed his cordial concurrence in the motion had just been seconded, and was anxious to add his testimony to the justice and necessity of declaring the sense . , entertain ed by the British Metropolis of what was pass ing in a neighbouring cowl try. By this means an example might be established; Which, if propelly followed, would skew what the im _pression on English minds was, with regard to the sufferings and miseries inflicted on our French Pro testant brethren, by their own fellow Christians and countrymen. Here Mr. Oldham read from the Bev. Mr. CM-bytes pamphlet, a statement of the disorders at Nimes, wind' . deScribect sixteen of the Protestants as having literally bad their throats cut before their own doors Mr. Dixoze had had some doubts as to the pro , priety of their proceedings on this occasion, and eatakestly hoped that tit) language might be em ployed 'in the address which might be construed as tr dictation ft) Government. lie was ready to - lohnit, though he did not much like the audio _ tity of pamphlets, that the rrotestants in l'iaece had laboured under every tp - eties at per secution. This. he believed, was now - Undeniable, however' natural it was to doubt the truth of such improbable stories at first, when we had even uow such instances every day of the absurdities and falsehoods of French' writers. He was happy to observe the serious turn which his friend, Mr. Wait lumen's mind appeared to have suddenly taken ; was almost disposed to think he had had at (fhis observation was received with much merri meet by the Court.) Mr. FAVELL had but vary few observations to add to those which had been already made, and particularly by Ibis wolthy friend who introduced the question. It gave him the highest satisfac tion to' witness the unanimity that prevailed, and that not even the ingenuity of the last objector had been able to discover any ground• of opposi tion. It was a mortifying reflection, that any people should he so plunged in ignoiance and barbarism in the - nineteenth century, as the inha bitants of the Sontherieprovinces.of France had shewn themselves' to be. Their pronimity to Spain, the seat of the darkest superstition, might be one cause, perhaps ; but it was consoling and delightful, - on the other hand, to contem plate the -different part acted in our own happy land, both on this mod- on former occasions, When, by did edict of Nautz, Louis NW. brought o n his own subjects all the evils of proscription and a 'religious war, the victims of persecution sere received with open arms in this country ; one of the consequences was the foundation of a foreign manufacenre in Spitaltields„and the set tleinent of a noble colony in Englani-I of brave end itolustrous subjects: 11 7 Iiat a contrast did the state of France present, whet. were now beard the horrid cries of the fifteenth century, Let tis wash our hands in Protestant blood, give us another St. Bartholomew." This was, un fortunately, the first fruits of the restoration of Louis, the coneerpteoces of a successful war, in . which British valour and treasure hail been pro digally expended, in order to give to France the blessings of social order, and a paternal government. This must be a cruel reflection to the friends of that system, by which such trenticndous bur dens bad been imposed upon ourselves. Ife woulti„however, still indulge the sanguine ex , peetation, that France and England, two king . deois made to assist and respect each other, would.finally concur -in acting on the.satne liberal prini:iples, and in extending to all classes of sub res the benefits of religious liberty. • JACF.S -btated, that he had entertained some dinclits htfore his entrance into the Hall, but was entirely cotiserted by the discussion he had heard in support of the motion. Mr. Do semen said a few vvords to assure the Court, that there wets no political object or feel ing that actuated those who had brought forward this question. Mr. Alderman IIEY6ATE was in favour of the atldrAs, although, generally, no friend to the in-. terfereneteol.one country in the internal affairs of its -neighbours. H e .thou g ht ',4! were now, hOwtiver, bound to inlet fere, as the French Char- 7 ter had getarauteeds the free exercise of religious w orship, and as w e-were sail to have left a large Military tome tor the put:pose of supporting the new French Constitution. • Mr. ‘VAvputdAN observed, that he was not fond of taking up the time of the Court with replies, - and a 1 ill ieSs whtere there was so - little occasion for i• as at present. He 'could not help o bserving, howteser, that a vvorthy Gentleman (Mr. Dixon) apptAted to him tt) 'hate '*.n.tnigeki in 'Ora which were extremely ill-timed, to say tine le~i;t of them-; . s and that, as 'to his own religions (nap:: duct, )1F Wacr rvady to Olaiienge - tiiat Gentlmago produce'anv irstance which he bad shewn self wanting in liis duties in the cause of littlita. nit v and justice.

VIENNA, Nov. 30 [EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.] " The sudden departure of the Princess of Wales for Sicily, from her residence near the . Lago di Como, is here attributed to different causes. The most likely of tiann is, that tie departure of the Princess was in consequence of the news of the arrest of Dr. Griffith, the, medium of her corre spondence with Madame Murat. That Gentleman resided a long time in Naples, and arrived in Aus tria with Madame Murat. He bought a house in this Capital, which he furnished magnificently. It was here - that several letterS were fotind ad dressed to Madame Murat, among which there were man) in the hand-writing of the PrincesS of Wales, who was at Naples during the usarpa tion of Mitrat. This Princess, two months ago, rented the Palace of the Princf! 13orrowmee, at Milan, in order to reside there during the stay of the Emperor of Austria. She set off for Genoa, in order to embark there in the night of the llth or 12th November. Nothing certain is known of any further' arrests. Some individuals have been sent ,to the fortresses. We are informed that the proceedings against Madame Murat have been stopped ; she is still at flaitubourg." • DEC. 11.—The English and Hanove rian troops, which occupied the villages of Passy and Auteuil, departed on Friday, and those which were stationed at the villages of St. Cloud and Boulogne quitted them yesterday. All these troops are on their March to the frontiers. The Commission charged with the examination of the Projet of the Law for forming a .yearly revenue of 7 millions for the capital of the 140 millions, to be given as a guarantee for the re gularity of the. payments to be made to the Po reign Powers, is'composed of Messrs. Roy, Du vet tier de Hauranhe, de Bourrienne, de Courval, des Rotcherolles, Louis, Beagnot, Bruveres-Cha labre et .de Cattsans. It appears that the troops which are in the en virons of Landau are w - 'a`iting for a courier from the Duke of Wellington, to know in what manner the ►lace shall be occupied by the Allies. We arc informed that a Prussian corps is arrived in• the neighbourhood of this'place, and demand an entrance conjointl;•,' with the'Austrians. inn, to the last accounts, the French Authorities were still in La►►din, and the surrender of the place still delayed on account of the difficulties which had arisen among the Allies themselves. Accord- COURIER EXTRAORDINARY, TUESDAY MORNING. A Deputation from the Chamber of Deputies was yesterday admitted to present their homage to the King, and to thank his Mjesty for the Projet of the Law of Amnesty which had been pre sented by the Ministers.

A very considerable number of British troops are between Abbeville and Amiens, who arc tak ing the route of Monaco' and Boulogne. Sonic English regiments which were cantoned . 1 in the environs of Scaux and Bourg-la-Reine, Yesterday passed through the capital for the coast, in order to embark. Their march occupied til whole day. VIENNA, Nov. 30.—Prince Metternich having invited, by order of the Emperor, the Duke de San Carlos to Milan, it is thought that it is tor• the purpose of discussing the difficnkies which have arisen between Austria and Spain relative to the affairs of Italy, and that they are endeavOnring to remove them in the way of negociations. We are assured that the Spanish Minister is charged by his Court, to remit, to the Austrian Minister, and to the other Courts interested in this affair, a formal protestation against the occupation Of the Duchies of Parma and Placentia by the Arch duchess Maria LouiSa. The Spanish Minister is to demand, at the same time, the pictures and %yolks of art belongiu to Parma, which the Au strian Commissioners had removed from the Mu seum at Paris.

The two principal Leaders of the revolt were yesterday beheaded, and four others were punish ed in proportion to their crimes. The audacity of these men was such that they had raised a kind of fortification to defend themselves, and it was with some trouble the C-hasseurs forced them to sur render. tMUSSELS AND FRANKFORT PAPERS, [RECEIVED THIS MORNING.] SWITZERLANIS, DEC. 2.—Madame Louis Bno naparte arrived on the 30th from Geneva at Lau sanne, with her youngest son, who is about seven years old.
