planation. He concluded by pronouncing an eulogium upon the Lunatic Commissioners. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL remarked that before the Commissioners wrote the objectionable letter they ought at least to have taken care that the foundation on which it rested did not fail them, and that the report in the newspaper was coreect. The Noble Lord bad fallen into a great mistake in supposing that the editors of news papers were the authorised reporters of the Court of Chancery. Lord G. SOMERSET said, that he had not so stated The SOLICITOR-GENERAL roust take leave to tell the Noble Lord the reports in newspapers of the pro ceedings in the Court of Chancery were of no authority. After lamenting that the l ut e s S oot who was counsel in the cause, was not present, the Hon. and Learned Gentleman went on to state some facts connected with the case of Mr. Houston, the lunatic, regarding whom a person of the name of Brown, Secretary to the Lunatic Commission, had written a letter, dated May, 1830, to the keeper of an asylum, which was given in evidence, containing the follow in g p ara g ra p h :—" In the m e antime I am to acquaint you that you are authorised to de'ain Mr. Houston until you have the farther direc tions of the Lord Chancellor upon the subject." In the outset of the same communication, Mr. Brown had refer red to the authority of Lord G. Somerset for what he had done. This was in fact usurping the power and autho rity of the Great Seal, and was a most unwarrantahle in terference with the duties of the Lord Chancellor. It the Noble Lord (G. Somerset) had taken the trouble to in quire in sources that could not deceive, he would have found that the observations of the Lord Chancellor in his judgment fell most heavily upon Mr. Brown ; and that instead of throwing any imputation upon the Commis sioners, the very reverse was the fact. As to the letter itself, he might say, that although the Noble Lord was at liberty to canvass the opinions of a Judge as an indi vidual, yet that he had not canvassed an opinion but a Judge. The Noble Lord must be aware how difficult it was in matters of lunacy for the Lord Chancellor not to advert to the conduct of particular persons, and the Howie would observe, that the communication read by the Noble Lord had been sent subsequent to the judgment pro nounced by the Lord Chancellor. Lord G. SOMERSET remarked, that the letter was written before judgment had been given. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL apprehended, that the Noble Lord would find, that from want of due inquiry he had been mistaken as to that and other facts : the decree might not have been prepared by the proper officer, but the decision had unquestionably been pronounced by the Lord Chancellor. The Commissioners seemed very much to have mistaken the situation in which the Lord Chan cellor stood. Whether he was right or wrong, lie was right or wrong as Chance'lor, and was in the discharge of his high judicial functions. He might have taken an er roneous view of the case—Mr. Brown might not deserve the remarks of his Lordship ;—but it was the decision of the Lord Chancellor, and from that the parties could re lieve themselves on'y by appeal. His Lordship was sup posed to have uttered certain expressions ; the Commis sioners saw them in a newspaper ; and, having taken upon themselves to set bins tight, they required bins to make the amende honorable, for refusing to acknowledge the justice of their uncalled-for reproof. Certainly, this was the first time a newspaper report had been considered suffi cient authority for calling a Judge of the land to account; and if Judges were to be bound by whatever was pub lished in a newspaper, it would place them in a situation which litt!e qualified them for the fair and fearless dis charge of their duties. Beside., the Commissioners called upon the Lord Chancellor to do them public justice by a public recantation—that was as much as to say, if be did not give them the amende required from the judgment seat, he must do it through the medium of the press, for that other alternative only was open to him. What was the security of Judges if their decisions were to be arraigned on every occasion when a paragraph appeared in a newspaper misrepresent ing what had occurred ? Whatever other duties might belong to the Commissioners, it certainly was not their business to point out to the Keeper of the Great Seal the manner in which he ought to discharge his great func tions. Ile did not see what proceeding the House could adopt upon the subject of those letters without calling the Lord Chancellor to its bar. He was sure that if the Noble Lord opposite (Lord G. Somerset) had made any inquiry of the Lord Chancellor, instead of relying upon a paragraph in the newspapers, he would have found that the Noble and Learned Lord bad not said any thing at which the Commissioners could properly take offence. Mr. ROSS said that the letter bad been written on the Wednesday before the Friday on which the judgment was delivered. On the point, however, that the letter was written subsequently to the judgment, the Hon. and Learned Solicitor-General had rested his principal argu ments. He (Mr. Ross) agreed with him that it would have been exceedingly improper for any persons to call the deliberate judgment of any Judge into question. Such a proceeding could only be warranted upon very serious grounds. But the Commissioners had not called the judgment of the Lord Chancellor in question. What they complained of was, that the Noble and Learned Lord had taken occasions, in delivering a judgment, to cast imputations upon persons who were not present, and who had no means of vindicating themselves. Besides, his Lordship had previously known officially that the Com missioners had disclaimed any participation in the circular of Mr. Brown. They bad not relied upon newspaper reports alone, for they bad been assured by persons who were present in Court at the time when the Lord Chan cellor gave the judgment, that the words attributed to Lis Lordship in the newspaper reports were substantially the *awe as those which be bad used. Besides, before be (Mr. Ross) saw the report in the newspaper, he had re ceived, from persons who had heard the Lord Chancellor, an account of what he had said ; with which the report, which he afterwards saw in the newspapers, agreed in substance, though not verbatim ; so that it could not be said that he had relied upon the newspapers. He felt that the Commissioners had a right to complain, when the only answer which they received to their letter to the Lord Chancellor was a menace of committal to prison ; and far from bring ashamed of the part which he (Mr. Ross) bad had taken in the matter, he thought his Noble Friend (Lord G. Somerset) was called on to bring it be fore the House in Isis own defence, and for that of his brother Commissioners. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, that with all re spect to the Hon. Commissioners, be must question the right of gentlemen to call into question any Judge for what he Lad said deliberately in his judicial character. — (Hear.) As to what the lion. Gentleman opposite had foist said, that the complaint of the Comrniteioners had not been fhunded on the report in the newspapers, bait upon something which they had learned elsewhere, he (the Attorney-General) roust observe that such other informs- • tion was not alluded to in the letter to the Lord Chan eellor. He did not think it was the proper course for the (aornmissior:ers to call the attention of the Lord Chsan caller to the paragraph in the newspapers, whilst they • made no mentiors to him of the information upon which, in reality, they weac acting._(Hear, hear.) He was sere that enough had been said to allow that there had Leen fault somewhere, and he thought that his Lord ship was warranted in the observations which be had made respecting the conduct of Mr. Brown. life re gretted that the discussion had taken place, because it necessarily led to personal animadversions. But other wise he should have been glad of it, because it gave publicity to the intention of the Lord Chancellor to exercise his just power for the benefit of the suitors in his Court, without regard to the feelings of in dividuals or to personal opposition.—(Hear, hear.)-- In the judgment which had given rise to the complaint of the Noble Lord opposite (Lord G . Somerset), not one of fensive word had been used, unless it were to be coe.aidered offensive that the Lord Chancellor had exercised the right which belongs to every Court, of resisting all interference with its judicial functions.—(Hear.) Lord G. SOMERSET explained. After a short conversation, in which Mr. Gonnox, Mr. La ash, and the ATTORNEY - GENERAL took par t, leave was ileven to bring in the Bill. Mr. RICE moved, " That the House, at its rising, do adjourn to Friday next."—Agreed to. The Etection (Irel Ind) Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed on Friday se'rusight. Mr. O'GORMAN MAHON presented a petition horn Stephen Fitzgerald, complaining of having been transported under the Insurrection Act. Mr. ELLICE thought that notice ought to have been given to the Goverment, in order that lin uir :Molt have b een made into the circumstances of th e After a few words fro m Mr. O 'Goa - sta P er Moss n. nos' Mr. SHAW moved that the House be counted ; and there only being twenty-one .Members presew, the House ad journed at a Quarter to Nine.

FRANCE. CUAMBER OF DEPUTIES.—Strrraw or SUNDAY. ‘' The Minister for Foreign Affairs rose amidst cries of • The Electoral Law before any thing.' He said, that having formed a part of both the Administrations spoken of, lie would take upon himself the responsibility of both. The Hoe. Deputy had spoken of a majority in the Chamber, but lie (the Minister) could find no majority at all. Probably it had been thought that it consisted in a unity and homogenity of the principles, but where were these to be found? To possess this unity and homogenity, the whole Chamber must have belonged to the grand move ment of July. To end the discussion, there was but one thing to be said. The Government would ask for the commands of the King, who would throw no obstacle in the way, if such was the opinion of the Hon. Deputy who had just sat down, every body would he in accord. " Extreme agitation ensued, during which M. Dela ' horde attempted to speak, but the confusion and cries of ' Question' rendered bins inaudible. We understood the Hon. Gentleman to say that, under existing circumstances. the Chamber, so far from being wounded bv the dissolu tion, ought to consider it a homage rendered to the country. " Gentaal Lafayette said—The discussion has hitherto turned upon personal questions rather than upon an inte rest wholly national. It now appears terminated by a declaration of an early dissolution. Yet many of my friends and myself proposed to explain our principles of liberty and public order, which I regard as one and the same thing, not agreeing with an Hon. Deputy who said yesterday that we had two missions, one to establish order, and the other to found liberty. If the Chamber had not wished to close the discussion, I would have ex plained what I me:int by a popular throne surrounded by republican institutions.—(Cries from all sides of Speak, speak.') I thank the Chamber for its indulgence. In July, at the Hotel de Ville, I said that I believed in the will of the nation to establish a popular throne with republican insti tutions, and I am happy in being able to tell the Chamber, that he who adopted this programme with most favour was the citizen King himself.--(Approbation.)—Republic and monarchy are terms extremely vague. Constitutional mo narchies arc frequently more republican than ever where the ancient republics of Sparta and Athens, or the modern ones of Genoa and Venice. I should prefer the distinction laid down by Montesquieu,—namely, a national govern ment, and a government of exception. Do you know, gentlemen, what I mean by republican institutions? It is a national guard formed of all the armed citizens, appoint ing their own officers. A republican institution is the declaration of the national sovereignty not only at home, but also abroad, and with regard to all the nations who claim the exercise of this right.—(Murmurs from the centre.)—l regret that the Minister for Foreign Affairs is not here. " The Minister for Foreign Affairs entered at this mo ment, and appeared to intimate to the Deputies near him that he would not reply. " General Lafayette continued.—l think that this right of popular sovereignty should be supported among them as among ourselves.—(Cheers on the left.)—A republican institution is that national throne which we alone have raised by our choice. An institution not republican, is communes who do not nominate their magistrates, a po pulation of 6,000,000 of inhabitants, of whom 4,000,000 would not be called to elect their municipal officers. In all cases, where, by the will of Government, a part of the citizens alone are called to exercise this right, there is aristocracy. Germany, Holland, America, and England, have thought, as we do upon this sub ject, and yet you will find in some of those coun tries sufficient despotism to secure guarantees.— . (Laugliter.)—A just medium and moderation have been talked of. Gentlemen, I know some of my friends who are, I will not say impregnated, but furious, with mo deration—(Laughter)—but we should understand what is the just medium, and ask ourselves whether it may not be an error. Between two opinions that assert, the one that four and four make eight, and the others that four and four make ten, the just medium would be, that four and four make nine. In the horrible time of terror, one would have passed for moderate in saying that ten or twelve assassinations a-day were sufficient. I say assassi nations, for then one might have taken it as a general rule that all those who were condemned were innocent. What was the just medium two years ago, except to oppose those who spoke of the National Guards, or municipal liberties ; and I beg pardon of some of my Hon. colleagues, if I allow myself to hope that perhaps some time hence they will find the just medium somewhat farther on in the na tional sense.---(Laughter.) I believe that the salvation of the Government, under existing circumstances, is, in truth frankness, and, above all, in the union of the throne and the people, The throne that we established in 1759, and that we defended against the factious, sought success where it was not to be found, and laboured to render unpopular the men who were its real supporters, and whom it again found at the moment of danger but too weak to defend it. --(Powerful sensation.) It was the same with a throne raised by a man of genius—a great General, to whom we owed for a time the abolition of the freedom of the press, and of all elections, and perhaps, also, notwithstanding his great genius, the loss of the conquests made by the Republican armies. In 1792, the people marched unani mously to the frontiers ; in 1814, they withdrew, and admirable and incomparable armies did not suffice to de fend the national independence against this new coalition. Hence it is that I am for republican ideas, because I hope to find in them that union of the throne and nation which is necessary to the strength of the one and the repose of the other.—(Hear, hear.) I am not on this account an enemy to public order ; I have suffered enough from anar chy not to be accused of loving or desiring it. Oar revo lution has been distinguished from all others, not only because it was the electric signal which called all the na tions to the enjoyment of their rights, hut also because it was pure from all excess. I ought to fear for my own honour lest this put ity should be sullied, and I hope that it cannot be —(Hear.) " You have ken told that there is in Paris a class of men who aim at nothing but trouble and agitation,— there is perhaps a class still more formidable, that of the intriguers of all periods, and the courtiers of all govern ments ; but what ought to inspire us with confidence is, that there is also in this population a class of citizens who, by their disinterestedness and their patriotism, are far above many persons whose patriotism is to he suspected. You will find them all in the ranks of our citizen militia. The National Guard is the people, arid the people is the National Guard. They are henceforth united beneath the tri-coloured banner of liberty and public order. Since the President of the Council has, as it were, announced the cam iy dissolution of this Chamber, I shall, without doubt, be allowed to hope that before we separate we shall at least have time to deliberate upon the electoral law. It would indeed be strange, when your committee has upon thin subject a- report quite ready, that we should separate witlfotet. offing to the enjoyment of their electoral rights that portion ef the citizens whom the Government and the Chamber appear te have the intention of admitting. As the report is ready, I move that it ha brought up to- morrow. i\l. Beranger, reporter of the committee, stated that the report would lei- read in the committee for the last time to-morrow, and could not be brought up till Tuesday. " General agitation ensued in consequenee of the delay, and the President eisid that the report being on the order of the day for to-morrow, it was contrary to established preee4set to postpone it to Tuesday. " M. Isessanger replied, in explanation, that but for the important discussing;, the report would have been read in the committee to-day, and ;hen brought up to-morrow. Under existing circuinstacces, it cod not be made before Tuesday. " Cries of questio:3, question,' being uttered in all parts of the Chamber, several Hon. Deputies who had given their reemes to speak, renounced their intention. " 111. Pataille observed ; that it seemed to ressalt from whet the President of the Couneil had said respecting the dissolution, that the Chamber had soiiciteel it of the Go vernment. It wa.sreaspertant that this point should be made clear. " The President of the Council replied that he merely meant to say that from observations made by many mem bers in the Chamber, it was evident that they de sirous of a dissolution. " Sever;ll Deputies demanded that the report on the elector.:) law should be made to-morrow, upon which " The President rertiar!wl that the Committee !UMW the wishra of the Chamber, and would do what they con sidered to be their duty. " The Chamber then adjourned amidst great agitation." ----- " SITTING OF NONDAY, FEB. 21. " 111. C. Perrier, President—The sitting commenced at two o'clock, when a very few Deputies were assembled, and the tribunes of the spectators badly attended. " 31. Charles Dupin ascended the tribune, and read a report, which the inattention and noise of the House would not allow us to hear a word of, until the President's exhortation to silence produced sufficient for a minute or two to enable us to perceive that the subject related to the ;nubile works, and apparently more particularly to the canals.—(Four of the Ministers were at this time at their seats, the President himself was conversing with appa rent interest to one of the reporters of the Chamber upon some subject foreign to the one now reading.)—After this ermv.l . l the order 0 the day, which was the formation of the legion of foreigners to serve out of the continental territory. " M. de Marcelles proposed an amendment, which wed, he said, that (if the Chamber should consider the orga nization of the military division necessary immediately) it should be formed only to exist until the Ist of January, 1833, for he thought that it was in itself contrary to Article 13 of the Charter. " Marshal Soult said, that for so short a time the ex pense would be a useless one, and that he did not con sider it contrary to the Charter, as these foreigners would not be employedbut in the colonies, such as in Africa. " M. d'Argencons held forth that it was injudicious to form a legion now, the disorganization of w hich (by future Ministe:s) might create disturbances. " General Delolme proposed an amendment, that this legion should be composed of no more tha n 4,000 men, and commanded by a chef de legion, who should rank as full Colonel in the French army. He voted for the forma tion, at all events, of this ccrps, in consequence of the ex emplary conduct the Holienlohe regiment had manifested at Marseilles in the critical events of July last, and that it would be ungrateful to suppress them, after the general thanks that they had received from the inhabitants of Marseilles; and further, that in consequence of their con duct, the foreign legion should be employed in the interior. " The amendments of several Deputies are read ; that of M. de Marcelles is rejected ; others are adopted. " General Sebastiani recommends the Chamber to take into consideration the proposal of the King, as one of a salutary nature, and not oppressive. " M. Odillon Barrot proposes, that by an ordinance of the Kin; this le g ion may be called into service in the in terior of the kingdom. " A Member of the ' s:cond section de la gauche' does not think that so much power should be given into the hands of the Sovereign. " M. Berbis thinks this influx of foreigners obstructive to the negotiations that the Government may in future have with other countries; besides, they cannot be so faith ful to the country. " General Sebastiani again ascends the tribune, and said, he hoped the Chamber would acquit him and the Govern ment of any intention of throwing a doubt upon the fidelity of the nation. " M. de Tracy, respecting the fidelity and devotedness of foreigners, could bring forward for example the Hohen lohe regiment, as well as the fidelity of the Poles, and con sidered the condition of forcing a foreign legion to serve out of the continental territories was a condition both bard and mistrustful ; he proposed that the legion should both be formed, and should serve within the continental terri tories, which amendment is adopted. Other amendments are proposed by different Deputies, as to the administra tion of this legion : almost all adopted. A demand is made to the Minister of War, to give an explanation to the Chamber as to the motives which have actuated the formation of this legion : this demand is rejected by the Chamber at large. A Deputy proposed that this legion could or might be commanded by a Frenchman ; this is rejected. The Chamber proceeds to rote by seru tin secret' the totality of the law, and it is carried by a majority of 144 to 56. Atter which came a communication from Govern ment relative to the dissolution of the Chamber, which M. Lafitte, who read this communication, stated as a ne • cessity the Government was put to. He spoke of the re sponsibility of the Government in affairs relative both to the interior and exterior safety of the country, which, how ever, they had decided upon taking entirely upon them selves for the present, reposing upon the loyalty of the National Guard and the troops of the line, ss hose fidelity and patriotism had been tried and could ba trusted ; and for which purpose they demanded from the Chamber their sanction to the present project of law demanded. " After this, the Chamber proceeded to the examina ion of the law upon the slave trade." " ITALY. " Forty thousand copies of the following proclamation hare been sent from Bologna into the Lombardo•Venetian kingdom : " Brave Patriots of Lombardy—The Bolognese, the Modenese, and a great part of the patriots of Romagna, have shaken off the yoke of despotism, and proclaimed the independence and union of Italy. All chissee of citizens have hailed the tri-coloured flag with transports of joy, us the harbinger of the liberty and properity of our country. The sacred cause has triumphed among us, and will triumph throughout all Italy. France has proved to us that material and passive force cannot have any power over national spirit. " ' Fellow-countrymen of Lombardy, follow the example of France—imitate the patriots of Central Italy—burst asunder the degrading chains which the Holy Alliance has rivetted upon you. We were slaves, and wretched under the despotism of priests, but our oppressors were still Italians. You are the slaves of foreigners, who en rich themselves by despoiling you, and render you daily more miserable. On the day of your rising, 40,000 of our patriots wiil march to assist you in crushing the Aus trians. Let there be no delay , fo r there is danger in he sitation. Display your courage, fellow -countrymen, and despotism will flee from our cotn'ry. Our country, li berty, and national independence, for ever !' " The following, is a paragraph of a proclamation addressed to the Neapolitans : In 1820 you won your liberty, and obtained a con stitution without bloodshed. Your King, and all the civil and military authorities, swore to observe it, but treachery and perjury have deprived you of it. The en lightened nations have represented you as having lost your constitution by your cowardice. Aven d ge eceive the na tional honour : do not suffer yourselves to b e d by fallacious promises anti amnesties which are only snares. To arms ! Neapolitan patriots : shake off the yoke : be come free again, for you have it in your power. " A proclamation, sent to Rome, contains the following:' " 6 Roman patriots ! remember that your city was the cradle of liberty and civilization. Think of what you new are, —recollect that you are Romans, and that the overthrow of the chimerical sacerdotal power which oppresses you depends upon your own will. Unite with the patriots of all Italy, and Rome will become once more the central point of civilization and liberty.' " The following is an extract of a letter of the 7th inst. from Faenza, a town in Romagna, containing 22,000 souls On the sth, the citizens having learned that Bo logna and Modena were in a state of revolution, assem bled in great numbers at the Government Palace. The Pro.legate appointed a committee, to whom he surrendered his power. The people spontaneously flew to arms. At two o'clock the troops were disarmed, four muskets having been fired without wounding any one. At Forli five men have been killed. From Bologna to Rimini, including all Upper and Lower Romagna, the entire population have followed the example of Bologna. PezAro, .Ancont, Mar cera.ta, and Peruse, have also risen. Here Count Joseph Rondinini has taken the summand in chief of the Na tional Guards. Letters from Modena state, that that town enjoys perfect tranquillity, and that Panne and Piacenza have followed the example of all Romagna. The National Guard is organized at Modena. The Provisional Go vernment has given orders for all prisoners for political offences to be liberated. Part of the Duke's troops have withdrawn to Mantua, and placed themselves under the Austrian standard.' " By accounts of the 11 th instant, from Modena, some errors in the accounts that have been published are recti fied, but the main points, relative to the insurrection, are further corroborated—' A Dictator and three Consuls have been appointed ; M. Nardi,a lawyer, is the Dictator; and Dr. Cialdini his Secretary of State. The three Consuls are Messrs. Maranesi, late a Colonel in the Dragoons, M. Minghelli, a lawyer, and the Marquis Moreno. The Go vernment of Modena keeps as hostages several Noblemen of the Grand Duke's party to be responsible fur the life and return of Menotti, who is still a prisoner. F, rrara is in a state of insurrection. The Austrian garrison has not offered any resistance, but have shut themselves up in the citadel. Romagna has followed the example of Bo logna, to within 12 leagues of Ancona. Ferrara is the only town of the Pope's dominions where there is an Aus trian garrison.' " Letters from Geneva announce that the Duke of Modena did not stop at Mantua, but continued his journey to Yienna. The latests accounts state that the insurgents of the Ittnesa; States are making preparations to attack Ancona, where they find artillery and ammunition. The army of the Pope does not amount to more than 7,390 men, among whom are many who served under the French standard. The garrison of Bologna joined the people immediately after the revolution. The insurrection in Romagna is known at Rome. The Government has sent out all the gendarmes, and doubled the wear do. It is asserted that Monte Fiaaeone and Canino are in full in surrection. The Aus4 ;ens who are at Ferrara are so closely surrounded by the patriots, that they have been obliged to ask for provisions for ten days, which the Pro visional Government has granted them. There is every appearance of an immediate explosion at Lucca. The Prince being absent, it is believed that the garrison will offer no resistance. " At Milan, according to letters of the 12th instant, the Government has ordered some p easan t s t o l i e arrested who were distributing proclamations sent from Bologna. M. Vetturino, who was at Paris during the events in July, Posted up one of them against the gate of the Archbishop of Milan!, palace, Italian four, to the air of the ilf9r- seilloise, are heard in the streets, which gives Ilse to many arrests. " The letters from Florence are to the 9th instant. The Grand Duke of Tuscany bad ordered fresh troops to march to that town. It is even said that artillery had been draw ato the Palace Pitti. and to Bohuli. The Vice- Legate of Bologna and the Vice-Legate of Ferrara arrived at Florence on the Stb, and set out for Rome on the fol lowing day. " The Turin Gazette is silent. The garrison of that town has been reinforced by 3,000 men. General Polucei will not now return to 'Vienna. On the 12th instant it was rumoured that King Charles Felix had authorized the Austrians to take possession of his fortresses, and that the French Ambassador had declared that the moment the Austrians should enter the Sardinian States, he would take his departure. 3tONDAY7 TWO O'CLOCI:,..P. 151. " The Globe announeas that M. de Montalivet's re signation of the post of Minister of the Interior has been accepted. " After the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies yesterday, the members remained for some time in the Salle des Con ferences, where it was generally agreed that the Chamber shobld adopt a provisional electoral law, as short as pos sible, to consist only of three articles : the first fixing toe amount of taxes to qualify one elector; the second upon the taxation to qualify a Deputy; and the third upon the "circumscription. A meeting of several influential mem bers of the Chamber, and others of the centre gauche, was subsequently held, and resumed later in the evening, when M. Lafitte was present. The object of these meet ings was to ascertain the different opinions of the Cham ber, and agree upon the principal points beforehand, so that the law might not require a protracted discussion, which would occasion delay in its adoption. In conse quence of this understanding, it is expected that the debate will not occupy more than one, or at most two sittings. " The following extract of a letter of the 11th instant, from Vienna, is given by the Augsburg Gazette Last night we received intelligence of the commencement of hostilities on the part of the Russians. The corps of Ge neral de Witt, which forms the extreme left wing, begat, its march on the bth. He passed the Bug on the same day, and was advancing on the road from Chelm to Lub lin, where he was ti arrive on the Bth, and await the re sult of the operations of the main army. The latter will march direct upon Warsaw, in the vicinity of which they will arrive by the 15th. Thus a decisive battle is ex pected to take place before the 20th.' " The following extracts from our correspondence from different points of the Italian peninsula afford interesting additional details upon the progress of the insurrection : The revolution is daily spreading. The Duchess of Parma, whilst at breakfast, on the 10th instant, received a deputation from the people of the town, who announced to her that the Parmesans intended to join the Italian con federation ; and, after expressing their thanks for the man ner she had reigned over them, requested her to withdra v. The Duchess having insisted on remaining, the deputation intimated to her that the carriages were already waiting in the court to convey her under escort wherever she might think proper, but that her immediate departure was ab solutely necessary. The Duchess felt the urgency of the case, stepped into a carriage, and proceeded to Piacenza, from whence she will go to Vienna. The change of Go vet lament takes place every where without resistance and without disorder." " The Palace of the Duke of Modena was completely destroyed by the people after his departure. No act of ven geance has taken place, but the doors of the state prisons have been thrown open, and the prisoners set at liberty. The custom-houses on the frontier of Bologna and the State of Parma have been suppressed, aul the insurrection of the Legations and the Marches completed, extending from Bologna and Ferra to Ascoli. It is said that the cite of Ancona has fallen into the power of the insurgents. Dis turbances have broken out at Lucca and Leghorn, and Genoa is i❑ the greatest state of fermentation ; but the po pulation are held in check by the presence of a garrison of 12,000 Sardinians. The Provisional Government of Bo logna receives from all points of Romagna deputations, an nouncing the entire concurrence of those districts in the insurrectional movements, and that they are ready to meet such foreign troops as should come to subject them again to absolute power." As the people were determined to destroy all the crows placed in the public works, the authorities have ordered • their immediate removal within doors, according to the concordat of 1522, which prohibits those emblems ex ternally. A bookseller was yesterday arrested i❑ Nantes for having publicly declared that within eight days there would be a civil war ; he was taken to the prison of Boulfay ; it would have been better to have taken him to the Asylum for Fools." The following arc extracts from Tuesday's Paris pa- pers " The Message ,. des Chambers contains the following article The orders given on the lath by the Minister of the Interior to search the residences of the principal plotters of the Carlist party, has already been attended with important results.' A letter from Vannes, of the 18th instant, says—' The Prefect of the Morbian has just seized the plan of an insurrection in the house of Colonel Lcnis Cadoudal. Mdme. Cadoudal made the greatest efforts to withdraw this document from the hands of jus tice. General Cadoudal, the ex-Chouan Rohu, and M. d'Herouville, are deeply compromised in this affair, and have all taken to flight, warrants have been issued against them. M. d'Herouville was to have carried the plan of the insurrection to the Duchess de Berri. "ST. Mar°, FHB. 19.—Important papers have been seized in the chateau of Hatulean, the residence of M. Dulaz, which leave no doubt of the conspira.:: of the Carlists. M. Dulaz and his son have fled, and warrants for their apprehension have been granted. " LYONS, Fan. 17.—Various searches were yesterday made among well-known Carlists : 1. M. Forbin des Issorts, ex-Peer. There were several pairs of loaded pistols in his apartment, and he made so determined a re sistance, that it was necessary to call in the National Guard. He said to the Commissary of Police, that it was very foolish to believe that he would preserve papers; that all was in his head, and that he was not afraid openly to declare that he was the determined enemy of the present Government. 2. M. de Tauriac, ex-gentleman of the King's chamber ; he also offered resistance, and during the search threw into the fire a bundle of papers which may be supposed important. 3. Colonel Rogers, the Abbe Pelagaux, Superior of the Congregation de la Foi, the ex-Commissaries of Police, Seon and Desgalleries, and M. Corgud, ex-editor of the Gazette de Lyon. At the house of some of these persons were found a cipher, four silver medals, which appear to serve as rallying signs, and pamphlets and copies of seditious writings. RuntrEtt, FEB. 17.—A search has been made at the residences of M. de Trogoff, Ex-Aide-de-Camp of Charles X., and Messrs. de Mauduit and de Jegondulaz, the result of which is not yet known. DIME, FEB. 19.—Yesterday the Procureur du Roi searched the chateau de Montigny, inhabited by M. d'Am bray, Ex-Peer of France, who appeared to have expected such a visit, as nothing suspicious was found among his papers. It is said that M. d'Atubray did not hesitate to declare that he was present at the funeral service at St. Ger main l'Auxerrois on the 14th ; that he bad received two visits at Montigny from Captain Auguet, who came from London, and was arrested at Paris on the 15th ; and that he had been visited by M. Lambert, Depositary of the Confidence of the Ex-Ministers d'llaussez and Capelle, as well as a number of other persons who travel between Lon don and Holyrood. RENNes, FEB. N.—Warrants of search have been issued against the Marquis de Langlv, M. Coutteille, Ex- Commissary of Police at Paris ; Viscount Duplessis Gre nedan, jun. and the Abbe Dartois, Rector of St. Ger main. The result is not yet known. The iWoniteur of Tuesday contains a Royal ordinance of the 21st inst., by which the Count de Bondy, Member of the Chamber of Deputies, is appointed Prefect of the Department of the Seine, in the room of M. Milton Bar rot. By a second ordinance, M. OdiHon Barrot, Coun cillor of State i❑ Extraordinary Service, is appointed a Councillor of State in Ordinary Service. A third ordi nance appoints M. Vivien, Procureur-General of the Royal Court of Amien', to be Prefect of Police in the room of M. Baude, who resumes the functions of the Councillor of State in ordinary service. The .Moniteur also confirms in the following terms the account relative to the Carlists, given in the Messager des Chambres:— ' In consequence of orders issued by the Minister of the Interior, search hasbeen made, at the same time, in various parts of France, in the houses of persons suspected of keeping up a correspondence with the fallen dynasty. This search has led to seme results. In two departments papers have been seized which compromise seriously several personages known for their attachment to the late order of things. One of the most important documents which have fallen into the hands of the Government is a letter to the Duchess of Berri, found at the house of Colonel Louis Cadoudal. Several members of that family have taken to flight. Warrants of arrest have been issued. The first results, due to the vigilance and activity of the Government, cannot fail to place the principal agitators in the hands of the authorities.' " Viscount Felix de Conny has addressed a letter from his prison of the Ginciergerie on the 22d instant, to the Editor of the Journal des Debuts, in which he admits with pleasure, that he attended the mass for the Duke of Berri, but denies all knowledge of participation of the proceedings which followed. In allusion to a book found in great triumph by the police in his library, entitled Compact between the Royalists of the West and South,' he says, their triumph must be short-lived, for the book, as it shows, was printed in the year 1821. The Viscount's letter concludes with tile two following emphatic inter rogatories to the authorities Of what crime am I ac cused—who are my accusers ?' " The Journal of Commerce of Lyons states Savoy to be in open insurrection. " A republican movement took place at Beziers on the 18th instant. A tree of liberty was planted in the prin cipal place of the town, and proclamations posted up there, inviting, in the name of the people, the Prefect of L'lle • rault, the Sub-Prefect of Beziers, and the Mayor of the town to resign their functions. The firmness of some of the authorities, the concourse of the National Guards and well-disposed citizens, paralysed this republican party. At the departure of the courier, the town was tranquil. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (From the Times.) We have just received, by express from Paris, a the Journals of Tuesday, and several communications from our Private Correspondent. The dissolution of the Chamber of Deputies was determined upon, evidently with the consent of all porties ; but the question now mooted was, whether they should con tinue to sit three weeks longer, and finish the enact ment of a new electoral law, now ready for consi deration, or merely hasten, in one or two sittings, to pass a short compendious electoral law of four or five leading artcles. The_Ministers had, on Sunday, actually prepared the heads of the latter, but whether they can execute their intention cr not depends on the sate of the parties in the Chamber. The re port of the extensive electoral law before the Chamber was read on Tuesday to the Deputies, and filled 110 folio pages of manuscript. A fierce dis cussion upo❑ the Belgic question was to tithe place on Wednesday. The news from Berlin which reached Paris on Tuesday was to the 17th instant ; the five divisions of the Russian corps had then entered Poland; there had not, however, according to the Berlin accounts been then any fighting. The Poles, it was under stood, did not mean to put the cause of their country upon the hazard of one general batttle their strong est camp position was about 30 miles in advance of Warsaw ; but even the fall of the capital was fore seen,without ultimate detriment to the patriotic cause. We subjoin tire additional news from Italy, by the letters which arrived in Paris on Tuesday. A pri vate letter gives, as a reason for the King of Sat ilia quitting Turin for Milan (others say Alexandria) that he went to be present at the marriage of his niece. These letters, however, every where indicate the presence of popular revolt. The following are extracts from the provincial French Papers, which reached Paris by post ; they show the activity of the Government throughout the departments : (From L' Opinion, Bordeaux Journal, of the 19th inst.) " The ridiculous Government, quasi legitimist, comes to bear its fruits. The Carlist party, which showed itself so little after the events of July, reappears with an au dacity at which the Doctrinaires have alone the right of not being astonished. They conspire at ma•ses and prayers, and it appears that the arrests at Paris have given some indications of our little conspiracy of the Sa cristie. Yesterday, at seven o'clock in the morning, a domiciliary visit was paid at the same moment to a num ber of private houses in our city, but it does not appear that these visits led to any important discovery. The curious collected before the doors where gens d'artnes were stationed, and the attitude assumed by the crowd sufficiently showed their hatred of counter-revolutionists. Among the houses thus visite were those of Messrs. Comet and Devaux, ancient Sub-mayors, Taffird de St. G ctiaL.hic e g:ci r rii r r eefoase a nnoti i aglfs n :suei , tresbtiotic t i;i h svtveri. e drtic C giv vttiloel,altstnefsegr\vonvocrifeta.:lltlsail,iel.,reittetitchirirtKeoe:til,ifieArinii King's snnb,:bs : tt ) et m ilAiaoi ecii l nt : sdt a sahofit t r, nneet l s , eshetit.yon A es-oaex b Gdf D b aeeLom e nnufwaire C insiairni h oaanogt a tidni m rroeetee:i n:osa;oidovhdrneanee: day stones were thrown, and the congregationists of both so t e o fx t et l h :e country-house of the Abbe. (From the Nantes l'Aini de la Charle of the 19th inst.) " The news of the troubles caused in Paris by the guilty movement of the Carlists at the church of St. Ger main l'Auxerrois, has disconcerted the Absolutists, and renewed the courage of the numerous friends of the revo lution of July. We learn at the same tune the dismissal of many important functionaries of the restoration—a s atisfaction long and impatiently expected by public opi nion, and which we take to be the precursor of firm and energetic measures. The season of lenity is over for men whose avowed object is the overthrow of the national throne raised by Louis Philippe, and to Charles the Musketeer, his ac c ompli c es and descend:Ave. Express orders from the Ali n i s t r y en j o in the removal of the flours-de-lis, and every pl a ce upon it other emblem relating to a family so justly detested. In this, as on many other occa sions, our Mayor has shown a vigour and prudence worthy of the highest eulogies. A detachment of our indefatigable National Guard, many Commisaries of Police, accent ponied by the Municipal Guard, having at their head 31. Ducoudry-liourgoult, the Mayor's Assistant, and one of the wealthiest and most estimable merchants of .NAntes, repaired to the churches of St. Peter, St. Similieu, St. Donation, and St. James, where they broke away the fleurs-de-lis from all the crosses. In the evening the people themselves destroyed the fleurs-de-lis of the railing around the column of Liberty. The same emblems were removed from all the other public edifices and tiihupals., " ITALY. " Letters fr,,m Bologna of the II th instant Lite,s that from Romagna to Faro, all has followed the popular move ment. Nothing precise is yet known of Sinigaglia and Ancona. It is feared that the latter place, being provided with troops and ammunition, will offer resistance. A re port is spread that the inhabitants of Romagna have :ent assistance there, and that the students wished to march, hut were not permitted. It is said that a corps has been directed to proceed to Civita Castelnovo, to deliver 400 or 500 individuals, imprisoned for political opinions. Three companies of the line, with some artillerymen and two pieces of cannon, yesterday set off for Castelfranco. The Bolognese will soon have on foot two regiments of the line and 5,000 or 6,000 National Guards. The students form a legion of six companies, each of 120 men, dressed and equipped at their own expense. Bologna is tranquil, and the Provisional Government displays much activity. The carnage was not so great at Modena as was said. After being forced to capitulate, the Duke was only re ceived in Lombardy as a private individual. The Modenese have furnished to the Bolognese 300 muskets. " We learn from Venice, under date of the 13th instant, that the garrison was about to march to Bergano, and that three Hungarian regiments were expected. The rigour of the police was extreme, and the Government had ordered the Commissaries of Police to act vigorously against all tumultuous assemblies ; but the carnival presented to the Venetian patriots the means of assembling and concerting together. " Letters from Geneva announce that the tribunes of Modena will shortly transfer their power to the Provi sional Government of Bologna; and the nomination of three Modenese Commissaries, to govern in the name of the Italian Confederation the districts of Modena, Reggio, and Massa Carrara, is spoken of. On the site of the Duke of Modena's palace it is intended to erect a monu ment to the memory of the patriots who died for liberty in the house of Menotti. " The Pontifical power is unwilling to abandon its di vine right, and the Provisional Government and all the insurgents have already been excommunicated by the Holy Father. This measure has had the effect of cooling the enthusiasm of some peasants, but the students and all well-informed men have swam to march against Rome. The President Vinci was at the theatre on the 12th,whete be was saluted with acclamations. Two citizens of the republic of San Marino have arrived, to offer to the Pro visional Government the homage of the chief of this little republican state. The Bolognese youth seem to desire the republican government of the United States of North America, and several petitions have been addressed to the President on the subject, " Couriers in disguise, coming from Milan and Ve rona, have brought to the Provisional Government letters from the Secret Committee of the Lombardo. Venetian Kingdom. Tuscany is still tranquil, and it appears that the pa triots will not rise till the insurrection shall have reached Rome Letters from Vienna, of the 11 th , speak of serious dis turbances having taken place at Acquapendente, where the tri-coloured flag has been displayed. 4 ' The patriots of Lucca have gained possession of power without striking a blow, the authorities having been ex pellet], and a Provisional Committee installed in their plot ace. s " The town of Genoa is in a state of siege. The diers are confined to the barracks, and during the night the streets are crawled with patrols, and tie artillerymen. ai : continually at their cannon. The King of Sardinia, it 13 said, intends to withdi:aw to Alexandria, for in Genoa he is in danger of hing arrested in spite of his troops an d his cannon. " The Bavarian Journals cease to appear one after an other. Several fresh arrests have been made at Munich among the students. Disturbances have broken out at,. the University of Friangen. All Bavaria ie in a ferment.— Globe. " The 21r.ire nberg Grrespon7ent contains the follow' pig extract of a commercial letter, dated Vienna, Feb.l'l' —' Aleport has been current on 'Change today, that an Austrian regiment has marched from Mantua into thei‘!°- dene.q, territory, to suppress the insurrection, in wl" eh case an intervention has taken place, de facto. The new " from Italy, combined with the precarious state of things in Poland and Belgium, has created an unfavouraide in fluence upon our funds. Bank Actions have fallen from 1,021 to 999. A speculator having made purchases to a large amount, they closed at 1,006.' The Correspondent also gives the following from Breslaw, under the date of Feb 10 :—‘ A skirmish has takea place between the Po lish bulans and the Russian hussars near Attgustowa, after,. which two regiments of hussars, with several battalion! °' infantry, entered that town. The Poles retreated fighting before superior forces. The Russians seek to avoid all partial encounters, and have order. to keep together and tight in strong masses. 4, 4 We are assured,' says the Tribune, ' that commer cial letters, arrived by express, announce that the P oles have met with a signal defeat. We are willing to believe this melancholy intelligence to be false, particularly 31 battle f om the latest accounts it would seem that no great c ,u!d have taken place in the environs of Warsaw before the 15th or 20th inst.' " The .Augsburg Gazette contains the following, da ted state of Warsaw, Feb. 10:—' The batteries round the town lea b:en mounted with cannon.

COBURG THEATRE. for We were present a few evenings since at this theatre' ec s the purpose of witnessing the performance of the n noa, meld-drama, 1)e 1' Ornie, or the Priest of Sarag„tott which reflects great credit on Mr. DAVIDGE, the a ' , o s as we are informed, of the piece. We have seldo'° melodrama which keeps the attention so thoroagol alive as De 1' Orme. It is full of romantic inc ideot bold character ; is somewhat complicated in its plo t / 10 , perfectly devoid of all that clap-trap sensibility 3rll:ale dated language in which the majority of our mcdettl[ctoe dramas abounds. SERLE—a chaste and impassioneducb —is the hero of the piece, and acquits himself wi th rri „,lert success. Mr. LI.
