Journals of yesterday conveyed to you, have already pro duced part of its tong-foreseen effects. The people assem bled last night at the Palais Royal, and proceeded thence, to the number of three or lour hundred, to the hotel of the Minister fur Foreign Affairs - (M. Sehastiarti), on the B levards du Capticini, and made some show of attacking it. They succeeded, however, only in breaking some panes of glass in the windows, when they were compelled to re treat before the as med force. They were for the most part armed with clubs, but some obtained muskets and pistols from the shop of a gunmaker at the corner of the Rue St. Fiacre. In •an attitysipt to proceed to the hotel of M. Ptwao di *rot cffits. 9 iltlY Ambasitadoe) : they.. - met and dispersed in. iiiiii'ifir 114 ecatm by "a !oily` Of National Guards. They retreated to the Porte St. Denis, Ind finally, at eleven o'clock, retired for the night. At an early hour this morning I observed in the garden of the Palais Royal symptoms of the nature which, on the 26th of July, 1830, preceded the late revolution. Up to twelve o'clock the gardens every moment displayed an increased number of occupants. The court-yard was crowded in the centre by the people. In one corner Marshal Soult's c.rr'age Stood singly. He had arrive to visit the King. A Council of Ministers was soon after wards assembled, and is now sitting, under the presidency - of his Majesty. Business on 'Change opened under the most gloomy impressions. The people were every where seen proceeding towards the Palais Royal, crying (as they did last night) " A Las les Ministres! A Los les Russ 4!" (Down with the Ministers! Down • with th,! Russians!) The first transactions were, therefore, at prices consi derably below those at which the market closed yesterday. At this moment (three o'clock) . the tall is to the same Pa tent as that of the memorable 26th of July, 1830— namely, two per cent. The garden of the Palais Royal is at this moment Cason all foregoing occasions of the same nature), the focus of discontent. A volt; gear company of the 3il Light Infan try is drawn up at the end next the court-yard—another is under arms at the Basin. The troops would not; I think, act against the people should orders to fire upon the latter be given —but, may God forbid that -such en order should be deemed necessary. The National Guards con'd put down a partial riot—hut I have not tie same confidence in their determination that I formerly had. You are aware of all the predisposing causes for this discontent and May expect something very serious from hence, I fear. The newspapers of this day (generally speaking) deplore the catastrophe at Warsaw, but implore of the people not to resort to acts of violence. - The Journal do Com merce appears in mourning. M. Mauguira yesterday gieve notice of a motion for Monday next, respecting the foreign relations ; and a M. Laurence one touching the internal affairs of th:, kingdom. - I think it possi , tle (although, perhaps, 1 exaggerate appearances) that Ministers may it their duty to resign in the interim, but it is not likely that tl ey can maintain themselves in power for many days. The natural, and, perhaps, not reunite eff,ct; of their resignation would be the accession of the war party to office, and, comequently, to commit France with onel or more of her Continental neighbours. I feel it my duty to state this my impression under existing appearances, even at the risk of finding (which would give me pleasure) that my apprehensions were groundless. Moving amid excite ment, it is difficult to escape its contagious qualities ; but looking at the present position of France and Europe, I cannot but exclaim, with reference to the capture of War saw, in the words of 'Moses Talleyrand, %Omk be • 404 heard that the . tirench - ierriyAn tetrrat-from ItictsCotit had lost by the cold 30,000 honest—" C'esi le commencement de le fin." Half-past Three. The rappel is being beaten in every direction. The avenues leading to the Palais Royal are occupied by cavalry of the line. The garden of the Palais Royal will be clemtl in a few minutes. At the Chamber of Deputies variou4 reports were in circulation. One, that the resignation of General Sebas tian had absolutely taken place. Nu business of any con sequence was transacte 1. P.S. The streets are filled with troops, and the National Guards are assembled. Ve shall, I fear, have a set ions riot to-night. - --- ----- POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLB OR 0 U GIL STREET. Oa Saturday Thomas King and Thomas Layton, private soldiers belonging to the Grenadier Guards, were brought before Mr. CONA NT. the sitting Magistrate, charged with having committed a most brutal and unpro voked assault upon a pretty and interesting young woman, turned Louisa Reid. It appeared from the evidence of the complainant, who was enciente, and within a few days of her accouchement, that she was that morning passing along Cleveland -row, St. James's, it hen she was met by the defendants. King put his head under her bonnet, and made use of some grnssly obscene expressions. She was ►such alarmed, and called out for assistance. Layton, who had previously remained at some distance, then went up to her, and with his clinched hand struck her a violent blow in the mouth, kitked her several times in the legs and back : and then, with his da-tardly companion, ran off. Fortunately, how ever, the ruffians did not escape—they were both taken into custody before they reached their barracks. One of the corporals belonging to the defendants' regiment gave them a very had character, and said that they had hen absent without leave fur several daps. The Magistrate had never heard of an act of more wanton cruelty than that of which the defendants had been guilty. Their unmanly conduct might have been productive of the most serious cnnstquences to a person in the complainant's situation, and as a warning to them he should fine them 40s. each. The defendants, in default of payment, were committed to the House of C.rrection for six week;. UNION BALL. Thomas Wright, a well-dressed young fellow ; was charged under the following rather singular circum,tances —Mrs. Coleman, of Sion-place, Iteroiondsey, stated that on Friday night, between eleven and twelve o'clock, she was sitting in her parlour with a friend, when a quantity of water came through the ceiling, anti continued to trickle down, so that they were obliged to move awly. Mrs, Coleman, who lives alone in the house, then armed herself with a poker, and her neighbour taking the candle, they ceestairs to the b e d- room , w h en t h ey f oun d the roomde d up luged with a stream that proceeded from under neath the bed. On looking there, Mrs. Coleman saw the legs of a man, to which she gave so hard a thump with the poker, that the prisoner, who turned out to be the man concealed, roared out most lustily. Mrs. Coleman im• mediately threw up the window, and called a policeman, who came and took the lame robber into custody. The boxes and drawers had been opened, and several articles of .wearing apparel were made up into bundles, ready to be cirried off had not the discovery taken place. 'I he pri sonq, when called' on. .for his defepce, said, " haYO waling to say, except that the old lady nearly smashed my shin bone." He was committed for three momths, for being found in the house with intent to steal. LA MBE TH- S T REE T. Peter Giles, a fellow in the .garb off-a sailor, was brpught up for final examination, on a charge of having stolen various articles of household furniture, the property of Joseph Blanchard, his brother-in-law. Circutnstances of a most revolting nature respecting the prisoner and his sister were disclosed in the hearing of this case, and the prisoner was fully committed to take his trial. At the conclusion of the examination the wife of N an . chaid (the prosecutor)" presented herself before the Bench, and in the most unblushing manner requested that the Magistrate would compel her husband to allow her a main tenanee. Mrs WALKER told her he would do no such thing, as she was a disgrace to human nature. She then said she would throw herself on the parish. Mr. WALKER told her it was of no use, for, with his concurrence, she should never receive a sixpence of its funds. LOVE AND SUICIDE. On Monday Morning an inquisition was taken. before ROBERT BARR, Esq., Coroner, at the house of Mr; Samuel Armitage, the Shoulder of Mutton Inn, top . of York-street, on view of the body of Sam ue l ; Hobson, a young man about 'l7 ynrs of age, who was found dead on a bed at his father a house in York-street, early on Saturday morning, having taken a quantity of crude and liquid opium in'the cour-e of the night. It appeared that the deceased had for some time past exhibited signs of despon dency, for which no cause could be assigned, except that about two months ago he had an illness which was sureeeded by a depression of sprits at intervals. He was fondly attached to a young woman, and regularly visited her up to the time of his death; indeed, he' was with her till ten osc!ock oa. Friday night. He went to bed between ten and eleven that night„and when called to his breakfast ;on Saturday morning, he was found lying across the bed, with his clothes on, quite dead. In a dras.er was found a bottle, labelled "laud a num," which 4.- peared to have been recently emptied, and in Os pocket waft a letter,in these words ftr,2, ; 4 q.ll4,;'Spt iifh, 1 SS 1. " MY DEAR PARENTS, -When you 'find this letter I shall he no more. I have been an unworthy son, and you have been too kind, far too kind, to me. I have been in dulged by you in every thing my heart desired ; you have denied me nothing, and I have striven against you all my life, but I hope you will forgive me. My reasons for coin ttiitting rash act were these—l feel myself unworthy of your love, and I cannot live in the presence of the per sons I have so much wronged, but I must drop this theme, for I cannot bear to go on with it any longer. There is one thing I hope sou will perform, nay I demand it, that is, to look upon Mary Copley as your daughter, for she loicd the dearly, and I leave her my breast pin, and any thing besides that she may desire ; and WI my dear father comfort my poor mother as well as you can, so no more from your undutiful son, " Son SAAIL. HOBSON. " P. S.—Ask every acquaintance of mine young or old to the funeral. " S. HOBSON." It was satisfactorily proved by several witnesses that the deceased had been in a dejected state for some time, and that he had spent the night from home on two successive occasions, on one of which he was found in a ditch, about five o'clock. in the morning, perfectly sober, but complaining of great distress, and yet unable to assign any cause. It had been asserted in the neighbourhood prior to the in quest, that the parents of the deceased had thrown im pediments in the way of the marriage of the deceased with the woman of his choice ; but so far from this being the case, it was proved in evidence that both his father and mother had contemplated the :nal riage, and were making preparations for, it; indeed the father had purchased materials for budding them a house. They had, moreover, always been on the best of terms with her during the two years that the deceased and she had been acquainted. There is no foundation for the statement in the letter that he had wronged his parents; on the contrary, it was stated that he was a very steady youth, had never committed any °fleece against his parents in any shape, and that his conduct had been in all respects Satisfactory to. them. The Jury found a verdict— " That the deceased destroyed himself while in a state of .temporary derangement." The deceased was interred on Monday evening at Brunswick-street chapel, amidst a large concourse of spectators. — Leeds Intekencer.• LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 19, 183 !afts, we think that the practicability of his pl a t), -ought to be tried, in order that their application it. 'r'ases of shipwreck might, if possible, be general. ESCAPE FROM SHIPWRECK. A lecture was_ deliatet,ed,oan •Tl'.ursday !tight -1:7 7 Mt.' Alfred Canning, engineer, ingrt"rheatre of the London Literary and Scient;fie Institution, Aldersgate-street, on the best means of escaping from shipwreck. The theatre was crowded in all parts by a most respectable auditory, who appeared to rake a lively interest in the subject. _ . Mr. CANNING, who stood before a table covered with plans and models of life-boats, rafts, &c., com menced his lecture by describing the various inven tions hitherto in use for the preservation of life from shipwreck; and after explaining how ineffectual they were in their practicable application, he proceeded to exhibit to the company his own simple contrivance for effecting the desired object. His plan is, t o join together five spars placed crossways, and con nected.by ropes both in the centre and at each angle. To every point presented by these spars, six in number, he proposes to affix an empty barrel for the purpose of giving buoyancy to the machine, the outer heads of each barrel to be protected by a sort of stuffing, in order to resist concussions with sharp.. pointed rocks. A machine of this description pro perly secured by ropes, Mr. Canning assured the company, was capable of carrying off persons from wrecked vessels to the shore with the most perfect safety, without the slightest danger either of its upsetting, or immer,ing those who took refuge on it in the water. Mr. Canning added, that he tried the machine himself on the coast of France and Jersey, and suffered himself to be towed from the mouth of the port of St. Heliers to near Rizabeth Castle, when he cast off the tow-rope and aban doned himself to the mercy of an impetuous wind, and the waves of a raging sea, by which he was driven to the dangerous rocks of La Collette, re clining backe arils in the centre of the raft with "as much security as if he was extended on a sofa The raft continued to drive amongst the rocks, against the points of which it Was dashed repeatedly, until of length a tremendous breaker threw the ma chine high upon the shore, where he was received by the congratulations of those who witnessed the un dertakitig. The great perfection of *a raft "of this descrption, Mr. Canning observed, coesists in this, that it is capable of surmounting the most s'ormy seas, and of resisting the sharpest pointed, rocks, in situations where a life-boat, life-raft, or any other known means would have failed and been dashed to pieces. Another great recommendation, the lecturer observed, to the machine which he deicribed, was its simplicity, and alq:, this fact, that putting it toge ther by seamen would occupy but a very few minute., there being always materials at hand in vessels of every size and description out of which to form such a raft. Mr. Coating produced a double raft, made upon the same simple plan, which, with the addi tion of a boarded raft, slung from the centre, and capable of righting itself in the heaviest sea, would, he said, be competent to the carrying off a great number of persons. Had this invention, he added, been applied to in the case of the Rothray steamer, every soul on board that ill-fated vessel might have been saved. After. describing a buoy of his inven s Lion for the purpose of carrying a liue from a wrecked vessel to the shore, and reading a number of high. testimonials from different persons to whom his inventions were submitted, Mr. Canning concluded his very entertaining and instructive lecture with the announcement of his intention to make a publics ex e hibition on the Thames Of his invention, preparatory to a definitive trial on the most dangerous part of the seascoast in a storm. He proposes to place self on his raft above Vauxhall-bridge and at half ebb of a spring tide, when the fall of water in the river is greatest, he will suffer the raft to be carried with the curt ent through the bridges, causing the machine to dash with violence against the abutments and upset in being propelled with violence by the rush of water over ropes extended across 'the most dangerous arch of old London-bridge. The trial will be sanctioned by the Lards of the Admiralty, and his Mijesty 'is expected to appoint the day. We were on the whole considerably pleased with Mr. Canning's lecture, and without pretending to offer any decided .opinitin on the merits of his life- .MURDER OF A BOY BY HIS FATHER Tuesday afternoon the inhabitant of Stockbridge and Comely Bank were thrown into a state of intense alarm by the tidings of a cruel and savage murder of a boy hay. ing been discovered. Abont.ttvo o'clock a man dressed in a fustian jacket, having the appearance of a tradesman ' or labourer, was observed to pass along,the bridge, 'radios fine boy about nine years of age in his hand. They proceeded together along the mad which passes to a field to the westward of Mr. Lawrie's farm-house on the grounds of Inverleigh, where they were last seen by a girl ler ling some cows in an adjoining field. In a very short while thereafter the man was noticed looking steadfastly into a deep ditch, or farm drain, where he remained for some minutes ; and he was afterwards observed to wade through the Water of Leith at the whiny' behind Saxe Coburg Place, where all further tidings of him were lost. Within a quarter of an hour after his departure some per sons passing along the footpath, which is an ordinary tho ronrhfare through the fielda,• discovered the body of the brad, iyiner at the bottom of the ditch, which at the piece_ creia-ia'..nert abont two feet depth of water, with the face lip wards. The body was still warm, but life was extinct. On being examined, a large wound, about the size of a shilling, was observed in the centre of the forehead, which had evidently been made by a blow from a blunt instru • anent, which separated the integuments, and laid the skull bare, but without fracturing the bone. In the centre of the chest, immediately below the sternum,.were about twenty punctures or wounds ; but although the most of them were superficial, one penetrated the thoracic cavity to a considerable depth, and proved fatal. About half-past eleven o'clock en Tuesday night, the body was claimed by the mother of the poor child, whose feelings on the, occasion it is beyond our power to describe. She having only a fortnight ago lost a daughter by natural death, in an agony of despair she stated that she bad not mourned over her, lest the Almighty should think that she repined at his decrees. On viewing the body of her hapless son, she burst into a paroxysm of gi ief, stating she had, seen him leave home in the forenoon in the company of her wretched husband, who, horrible to relate, turns out to be the murderer. The first tidings she learned was from common report when hurried to the Police-office, where in an agony of grief she broke forth into the, most bitter lamentations for her poor and favourite son David, and that she was con vinced he must have been killed, but it could not have been the father who corn alitted the foul deed. She said, however, that he hail been anything but a good husband, often leaving her and her infants in a state of destitution for weeks. But she said he was fond of his " bairns," and seemed horror struck at the idea of the father having injured the boy. "Na, na," said she, "Le liked David o'wer wed to 1140 him." The miserable father, who is a ship-carpenter,- of the name of GeergeWaters, was apprehended yesterday morn ing about two'-o'clock, in a stair at Stockbridge, where he had taken a refuge; but the hand of Gud was upon him ; for owing to an ejaculation made by the poor wretch while in ,an agony- of horror, it was overheard by Mr. D. SPEwen, shoemaker, .residing in the stair, who was led to conclude from it that it must have been uttered by some one concerned in the transaction. He instantly opened his door, and called for the assistance of some person in the street, when two individuals came, whom he requested to lay hold of the man on the stair. He said, " Hold him fast, for that is the murderer;" but appalled at this announcement, they shrunk from the touch and let him go. At this moment a party of police made their appear ance, and instantly secured the unhappy man, anti con veyed him to the Head-office, where, upon examination, be admitted having been the perpetrator of the horrid deed. He hail not been at home from the Saturday preceding. but went home on Tuesday forenoon ; his wife was out when he arrived at his dwelling in Cable Wynd, Leith ; ,lse.J4t it, and met his hapless son at play with some boys . ' Vatiee street, who were amusing themselves - with sand. They hail a table-fork with them, which the luckless child took along with him when the father called to him to follow. They proceeded to town by the Bennington-road, intending to visit an aunt of the child (the sister of the murderer), who resided 'in Northumberland-street. They passed Canonmills, and wandered about till they arrived in the fatal field. The father had previously asked the boy to give him the fork to carry, when, on arriving near the ditch, the hapless and miserable father, without cause or irritation, hut, as he says, impelled by the devil, struck the child a heavy hlaw t n the forehead with the butt end of the folk, and afterwards stabbed him repeatedly in the breast. The unfortunate victim fell without a groan, and, in the words of the father, " died like a lamb." His recollection float that instant forsook him, and, like the first murderer, he wandered forth in misery and despair, not knowing where to lay his head. He went into a public house at Crainond, and pretended to ngage two men to take a raft to Leith ; but his conversation was so incoherent as to attract the attention of other persons in the room. He first asked if they hail seen any remarkable light in Leith, and on their answering in the negative, he said they soon would. He was then asked if his raft was aground ? he answered, No; buiit would soon be, as the tide was going hack. They then inquired if he had a boat, he said No. When they asked how he had got ashore, lie answered, " The best way he could." One of the party then ex ' atnineit his shoes lay the light of a candle, and found that they were not wet. This *cretin) , roused his indignation ; and he went to the doer, and was observed to take some thing from under a seat outside, which was roiled in a piece of paper. He then returned to the house, and having en rolled the package, said, showing a teree-pronged fork, with a green handle. " Have you ever seen anything like that ?" and, at the same moment, made a thrust at the Person who had examined his shoes. Believing lain to be insane, the instrument was taken from him.

PRIVILEGES OF PEERS,--wLest the dignity o f a Peer should be violated, his person is privileged from arrest for debt. If a Peer jobs in the Funds (as many of them .10), or if he get's up bubble companies (as some of them have done) to dupe crednlons people, and if he in volves himself in debt by 'these fraudulent practices, you cannot imprison him to enforce payment ; neither can yon make him a bankrupt, and sequestrate his estates. The property of a Peer, like his person, has a dignify about it, and must not be violated, A *cotch Peer, though not one of those vvbn sal in Parliament, being arrested, moved the Court of Common Pleas to be discharged, as being on titled by the Act of Union to all the privileges of a Peer of Great Britain, and prayed an attaolonent against the bailiff, when a rule was chanted to show cause. Upon this the bailiff made an affidavit that when be arrested the said Lord he was so mean in his apparel, as having a worn-out suit of clothes, and a dirty shirt on, and only sicteen pence in his pocket he could not suppose him to be a Peer of Great Britain,_ and therefore, through inadvertency, ar rested him. The Court discharged the Lord, and made t h e bailiff ask pardon. PRICE 7D. EXPRESS FRONT PARIS. (From the Times.) We have just received, by express, the Paris Papers of Saturday, and some dated yesterday, to e.ether with a packet of lett, rs from our private cm respondents. The capitulation of Warsaw, as was expected, has caused a great sensation in Paris. I was only partially known on Friday, but on the evening of that . day great crowds collected in va rious parts of the city, and it was necessary to call out the mili-ary force to disperse them : this was, however, accomplished without any serious collision between the civic and the military bodies. One gunsmith's shop was pl un d ere d on F r id a y night, b ut the arms were subsequently returned by the people. On Saturday, however, the public symptoms Paris were those of great uneasiness. The people were collecting and rioting in the public places; the funds had fallen nearly two per cent. On 'Change ,and in the streets commercial people wet.? gathered in groups, and filled with uncertainty as to political results. The fall of Warsaw was felt as a moral calamity the people out of work, and t4e grumblers of all classes' Oularge body 'ln'Paris), were collect ing in the streets; the National Guards arid troops of the line were all under arms; and on Saturday night some apprehensions of disturbance were anti cipated. The authorities were, however,. quite pre pared for repression; but the rational alarm was, that in the present state of excitement n pacific Ad ministration might at length become compromised. Oil Monday, in the Chamber of neputies a series of questions was to be submitted to the Ministers relative to Poland and Belgium, upon which public opinion was much divided. In ia - et, according to' out private correspondent, the whole appearance of Paris on Saturday was unquiet ; still, as the-autlio tides were on the &ea, no serioes riots could be perpetrated. The windowe of the Minister for Foreign Affairs had been broken, and also some lamps in the street where the Russian Minister re rdes. M. Casimir Perier and General Sebastian; had been likewise hanged in efilgy by the populace. The riots will probably amount to nothing, but the feeling in. Paris was pregnant with mischief. In the postscript of our private correspondent's letter, dated at five o'clock on Saturday evening, it is stated that the people in the neighbourhood of the Palais Royal had shut their shops. An immense multitude were collected in the adjacent streets; the cavalry of the line were employed ; in ; dispersing them : still, as the authorities were prepared, it was hoped the night would pass off quietly. The Pads Journals of Saturday, however, con. min no further particulars respecting the capitula don of Warsaw. Our readers will perceive by the extracts which follow, that an official communica tion of the disastrous news was extracted from the MiniSter for Foreign Affairs in the Chamber cf De puties, where, as was to be expected, it created a very great sensation, and where also the Ministers suffered a defeat, (From Galignani's Messenger.) SURRENDER OF WARSAW. PAnts, SEPT. 17.—The following details have been communicated to us :—" Marshal Paskewitsch had given to Warsaw 15 days to surrender. The fresl term was to expire on the 9th inst. Five days before the expiration of the term Paskewitsch re peated his summons, No answer having been given, and the investment of the city having been completed, fresh propositions were made, which the Polish army refused to accept. On the morning of the 7th the combat commenced with the utmost obstinacy. The Poles were successively dislodged from their intrench ments, the fosses of which were filled up by the as sailants with dead bodies. On the morning of the Bth, the Polish army offered to accept the conditions proffered the dey before, but the Russian General no longer thought proper to grant them, and the battle recommenced. The Polish troops then quitted Warsaw, and retired in the rnass upon the Plozk road, being pursued and harrassed by the Russians. As soon as they had quitted the city, the inhabitants opened the gates and went out to meet the Russians. The Grand Duke Michael entered at the head of the Imperial Guards into Warsaw, where no disorders took place." " STOCK EXCHANGE, SEPT. 16, HAU-PAST FOUR O ' cLOCK. — Notwithstanding the melancholy intelli gence from Warsaw, the Funds fell but little during the first hour after the opening of the market, but business was dull.

'‘ The papers of this morning are wholly occupied with indignant lamentations over the fate of War saw the opposition journals mingle with these lamentations expressions of triumph at the defeat of Ministers on the proposition of M. Bois , y d'Anglas, a nd antieipate with confidence the speedy fall of the Administration. .The expression of M. Sebastiani, ' L'ordre regne,. darts Varaovie,' is the object of strong and general animadversion in the opposition papers = as exhibiting a cold and heartless indifference' to the fate of the Poles : hopes, however, are ex pressed that it is not yet too late, a►:d that France will still march to, the assistance of the wreck of the gallant army.

The two ministerial journals (Le Temps taking its rank among the opposition) confine themselves to general expressions of r egrk.at the full of Warsaw, but expatiate on the baseness of those whq would en deavour so take advantage of it fer the purpose of exciting commotion." CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.-SErr. 18. The President took the chair at one o'clock. group of members, amongst whom we remarked Messrs. Viennet, Decnargay, and Prunelle x pressed round the ministerial bench, on which was seated the Keeper of the. Seals, and were evidently engaged in very interesting conversation. After some time, The Minister of Commerce rose to explain a bill for defining the attributions of the Departmental and Arrondissement Councils. The law of 1791, he said, had carefully fixed theso attributions, and separated the executive from the local power : but the gun ranteas it established, by despoiling the Crown of part of its essential prerogatives, had created irremediable causes 01 perturbatio n . Th e l aw o f An. 11. had produced still greater inconveniences. At length the law of An. VIII. came and sepa rated the contending interests.. Thus the Administra, Lion was placed in the hands of the Prefect, and Consultation in the Council-General, It was not now intended to change this system, and launch into t trials which experience had proved to be d angerous . It was much better to attempt to rende r p er f ec t the interestsßill the did not exist so naturally in that which already existed, P ass ing t o t h e con struction Minister observed, that the col ,ec of iv e the departments as in the communes.

The Minister entered into details as to the a tri. butions of the Councils-General of the Depart ments, which he said were of such impoitaisce that they often approached those of the Lezif.i ature i t „jr . At this part of the Minister's speech, the men-- hers, wh o h a d b ecome ve ry numerous, and bed f,rmed themselves into several groups, entered into conversation with so much warmth, that the Voice of the Minister became completely drowned.

After some further a/- tereation, M. Mauguin sail—l entreat the Chamber will ex cuse me, if, from a misunderstanding, I have intet rup• ed the proceedin,ga of the Chamber. The Afoni leur of the day before yesterday.—(Murmiir.) Gentlemen, if you continue to interrupt me, shall not he able to explain myself. The 111,nri tear of the day before yesterday, contained news which truck all men with astonish ment,—to-day it publishes intelligence which has filled France with grief. This intelligence has entirely changed the nature of our diplomatic re lations, 1111(1 I request the Chamber to name a'rLy when I may ask explanations from the Ministers. It is my intention to address to them inquiries' re lating to the affairs of Belgium. The right I claim was established lay various precedents in the course f last year. These precedents are sound, and in conformity with our Parlnmentary rules. I tHere fore hope the Chamber will decide whether I shall put my qee , tions to-morrow or Monday.—(Hear.) The Minister for. Foreign Affairs said, the :Gn verritnent is ready to answer them to-day. M. Msuguin, who was called upon on all sides to go on, replied, that his habit of speaking extem pore would make it easy for him to proceed imme diately but for the severe hoarseness he laboured under, and which must be evident to the Chaniber. He, therefore, would adjourn his inquiries till Mon day ; but if the Minister for Foreign Affairs would afford the Chamber 'tiny information as to the events at Warsaw, he was sure the Members would be grateful.--(Continued ag;tation.) M, Laurence said, the situation of affairs abroad was no doubt very serious, but the evil, if there was any, and he did not mean to prejudge any thing, was not entirely from without the country._ The conduct of the Government towards it, agents, the animosity of party, and the precautions to be taken against the possibility of an invasion from - abrOrtil, were all internal questions. Since an Han. Mem ber had announced his intention of putting questions to the Minister for Foreign Affaiis with regard to the conduct of the Government as to the foreign relations of the countiy, he (MAlitrence) felt it his duty to give notice that he ahould,at the same time, call upon Ministers for explanations as to in ternal affairs, on the state of parties, and the order established and maintained in the Administration. . - The President of the Council replied—" We are perfectly ready to answer all questions that may be dut to us.-(Several voices from the Centres cried out, ' Speak, speak." Put your questions now.') Two Members have required the Chamber to fix a day for their putting questions to the Government and demanding explanations. They have no doubt some important facts to denounce to the Chamber. I declare, therefore, that the Government is ready to give at this moment full answers to every thing that may be required by them, for it feels that it ought not to he permitted to any person to dissemi nate alarm through the country when the Govern ment is willing to destroy it, or at least to explain. ---(Cheers.) M. Laurence declared that it had never been, and never would be his intention to spread alarms.—(ln terruption, and a Member exelaiMed, " Why, what are you now doing ?") The Hon. Member conti nued—l beg leave to assure those who interrupt me that they will not prevent me from saying all I - have to say. .1 repeat that it is not my intention now, and never shall be, to disturb the country by rams; but who' can deny that alarm does exist, and that it is necessary to ascertain the cause ? If previous accounts had not led to premature hopes relating to Poland—if the news received last night, arid pub lished this morning, had not suddenly changed the aspect of affairs and the feelings of men's minds, probably I should not have conceived it necessary to demand the explanations I have fixed to require on Monday; but my opinion is that the aspect of affairs is changed,—that the bulwark of France is thrown down, and her advanced guard destroyed. Assembled together in this place to watch over the interests of our country, we are bound to commu nicate to each other every fact connected with them which comes to our knowledge. We have received statements of facts from 86 of the department's of France. Before I present these to the Chamber, it is necessary for me to arrange them in order. I shall be ready by tomorrow, if it be desired, but I am totally unprepared to bring them forward to-day. The Keeper of the Seals stated that the docu ments which regulated the conduct of the Govern ment were received through different channel.. The judicial police was one of these, and it would be his duty as the head of this department to gibe a r portion of the explanations which would be'rle mantled. But when these doeurnents came into other hands than those of die-Government, he con ceived that it was both 'natant - stud expedient to communicate them beforehand to Ministers.—(llear, hear, from the gauche.) M. de Podenas—But the Minister for Foreign Affairs has declared that he is ready to give us in formation as to the situation of Poland. Tho Minister for Foreign Affairs then rose and said, " I have but very little to comminunicate to the Chamber ; the news received by the Govern ment has been already published. A capitulation has placed the city of Warsaw in the hands of the Rus sians—the Polish army has retired into the environs of the fortress of Modlin--24,000 Poles alone re mained in Warsaw-36,000 have withdrawn into Podlachia. Order prevails in Wirsaw." These words were listened to with the deepest-s!- lence, and produced a painful sensation. General Lafayette said—l wll not waste the time of the Chamber, but it will be recollected that it has sent petitions to the Council of Ministers, soli citing the intervention of France in favour of Po land, and that after an appeal from me conjuring them to stop the hostile proceedings of Prussia. I therefore warn the Ministers, that on Monday they will have to give an account of what they have done in pursuance of this recommendation. Poland will not perish, but its fate depends on the French Go eernment, Which ought to adopt more firm and ener .getie measures, and parlienlArly with regard to Prussia.
