i4\ 44 - ''''' , , EXPRESS FROM PARIS. At eight o'clock yesterday evening, I was informed that the troops were pouring fast towards the Hotel de Ville. to suppress great riots, which were commencing in the densely populous parts of the city, at each side of the river, in that quarter. Knowing the ciaggeration usually at tendant upon these rumoures I hastened myself to the spot, where I found a great body of infantry and cavalry sol diers. The National Guards had taken post in the Place du Chatelet, and stopped all the avenues which lead into it. They also extended some companies acme, the quay, /raving only a small passage for the inhabitants, admit ring one at a time next the parapet to approach the bridges. On advancing by this opening, I reached the place of the Hotel de Ville with some difficulty. Here again I found the National Guards occupying the square, and stop_ ping all the avenues leading let, it from the direc tion of the Fauxbourg St. Antoine. All the bridg,s from the Pont Neuf to the small bridge beyond Notre Dame were occupied with strong cavalry troops and light in fantry of the line, end piequeta from both were thrown for ward in all direction. I heard in the neighbourhood of -hese places that groups of rioters alai been shouti ng and breaking lamps at night-fall, but they had all disappeared when I wit on the spot, and the people who thronged the neighbourhood seemed actuated by mere curiosity ; the tradesmen wet e every where complaining of being obliged to shut up their shops night after night by these pro c,.eslings. These military precautions were continued un til midnight ; but I have not heard during the night or this day that these tumults have re-appeared. A charge of a troop of hussars would, I am satisfied, pro lute a wonderful effect upon any of these bands of rioters. The war feeling seems rather, I think, to decline here ; peopl e are eenerally becoming more tired of party excit e . mint, and desirous to settle down into tranquillity. Even "nle wl,u wire warm partisans of Belgium begin to think that the Be'gians are becoming too combative. The Opinion is Is't of the p t angC•n g roun d da i ly, that the chances on oPeace are acquiring more strength and consistency. on peace and 4th instant,. I am in formed that the Court of Vienna m s a e k r e .t couriers into ordering General Frirnout to immediate arrange ments fur evacuating the Ilo man s ta : The despatche s from Marshal 3laison are of the same date, and convey this intelligence. France has, it is said, upon the receipt of these last d e spatches, strongly urged the Cabinets of Vienn a and R ome to interpose humanely in beh a lf of the insurgents ; and more especially in the states of Modena. and Parmar, where weakness tends to cruelty in the policy of these petty Governments. The Minister for Foreign Affairs received yesterday de !pitches front the French Consul at Lisbon, announcing that the rnonster,:as Don Miguel is now appropriately cha neterizoi by the Members of :his Government, has refused t o li st en to any sentiments of justice or moderation in be h,if of French subjects. An hour after these despatches were received, I learn that a telegraphic despatch was transmitted to Brest to prepare forthwith two frigates for he age to Lisbon, where probably their presence in t t; . ". 4- ' l 'S'i (From the Times Private Correspondent. ) PARIS, SATURDAY EVENING. " The King will in person prorogue the Chambers on ... nesday or Wednesday next, and p re p ara tions are making w to give eclat to this constitutional ceremony. Yesterday the Ministers obtained a vote of 1,500,000 francs, to de fray the extraordinary police expenditure of the current year. This is an additional sum to the extraordinary ex ' penditnre, and understood to be principally applicabl e 0 "to the most odious of all items of Government expenditure, secret service money. M. de Corcelles yesterday super induced, upon the discussion of this vote, a lively alter cation upon the expenditure incurred 'oy France in peo vriding arms for her defence, and with the lid of M. Gaetan Murat, he illustrated his views by producing, to the amazement of his auditors, two muskets, one tnanufaetureti in England, had and dear; and the 'other in 'France, of course the perfection of mechaniam and 'economy This unusual mode of brandishing fier-aems to prove facts in a legislative assembly, was repressed by the President, and the guns were removed from the Chamber to " the hall of conference." What there became of them or their owners did not publicly appear. 'The police of this metropolis certainly require some stimulus to insure the discharge of their functions. No thing has been more Oaring than their utter inefficiency during the last eventful six months. That plete have abounded there can be no doubt: such s ttovolution as that of July could not have been achieved without bring ing many in its train ; and if the scattered elements of there sources of combustion can be extinguished by any new application of secret service-money, the rote of yes terday will not be misapplied. /he riots, as you will see by the Paris papers, con tinue, and vagabonds of all denominations are permitted to stalk about with impunity, uttering furious and non sensical cries; smashing the windows of shopkeepers for eport—draeging down and trampling upon lantps--dia erming isolated military posts—insulting individuals of the National Guard—displaying banners and standards with all kinds of mottoes,—and this work of riot and dis- order lass being going on at intervals every day and night of this week since Tuesday. It will scarcely be credited that these disgraceful scenes were, perpetrated by small bands of miscreants, in the seat and under the eye of a Government calling itself firm, in the midst of an armed body of 100,000 National Guards, and in the presence of a garrison of 10,000 troops of the line. The ruin of the trade of the capital is one of the sad consequences of these repeated tumults. At this !won of the year the silk and lace trades used to be in full activity : they are now almost annihilated, the shopkeepers doing little or nothing, and the Lyons and Caen manufacturers are chiefly finding a vent for their goods among the English wholesale purchasers. Some of these manufacturers have declared to me, that until they had actually seen the state of the trade at this moment in the capital, they could not have believed in the extreme depreciation. All too concur in the primary cause,—the daring impunity with which these riots are constantly attended, the uneasiness they in spire, and the abaci- a c e from, the capital, which they ne cessarily produc:. : , of that demand for vat ious articles which country visi"..ers at Christmas and Easter were heretofore aecustorr,ed to furnish. Wtence this tenderness for mobs ? If we believe the M - agistrates, they are mostly composed of liberated felons and convicts, who have finished their periods of sentence in the gallies. Are the flesh and bones of these marauders so precious, that they are not to be trodden upon by horses' feet, or carved a little by hussars' sabres, while perpetrating tumults which compromise the national cha racter, and cast into idleness and starvation the honest and the industrious ? But it seems the King will not have " the blood of Frenchmen shed_ by Frenchmen," and even the guillotine has had an eight months respite, to the great comfort of murderers and assassins who ought to have long since shouldered its axe, to accommodate this weak and mistaken humanity. A Minister of the crown ought, however, to redeem his own responsibility in such times, and assert the dominion of his Government. It is said, however, that the riots of this week were contemptible, and were merely the at. *orient of the trial of the students and others, who were acquitted yesterday: so much the more slime for the an- Amities to have permitted their continuance during so many.days. I caw the beginning and the end of them,— that ia; if last night be the finale of dilate movements. I was at eleven o'clock - on Tuesday morning near the Hotel de Vile, where I Observed an unusual concourse of people. It is the place were workmen of ail kinds usually assemble early in the morning, is seek daily employment; the crowd itself did n ot a pp ear t o me extraordinary, when I considered the large number of unemployed persons who now throng this metropolis ; but in the midst of it I ob served about twenty or thirty lads from fifteen to eighteen years of age, who were making what a similar ckts ol a fellows in London would in vulgar phraseology call " a lark,"....that is, they were flinging sticks, and cape, and hats about, splashing each other with water; the fellows did not apparently suffer touch from hunger, for I saw them kick about for their amusement a poor country woman's basket of cakes. I should have thought that one dorm policemen could have seized the ring!eatieta of these rioters, and whipped and ducked them st the adjoining fountain. Nevertheless, for the half hour that I remained a looker-on, these pastimes were permitted with impunity, until th e National Guards on duty at the _prefecture be came tired" of the noise, end drove the vagabonds *Way from their neighbourhood. I have heard that at the same hour on Wedneaday morning the same persons were at their old work in the place before the Hotel de Ville, but that they were flogged away from it by the poor labouring men who were then assembled-in search of employment, and who are, perhaps, the greatest sufferers by this con• stant disturbance of the public peace, I have heard from various quarters that these knots of rioters, some • with sticks brandishing over passengers' heads, others with flags and republican insignia, have leen every day in those parts of the city where workmen generally reside, such as the fauxbnurgs of the I 3 the and the Pantheon, creating tumult and disturbance, and in some instances disarming individuals of the National Guard ; there have been, I likewise learn, some arrests made of them, but in no instance a prompt example while the lamp-breaking and standard-flourishing were in active progress. Tagus will have some influence upon the decisions of th's tyrant and his minions. I ought to mentionthat the Ministers have sent to Bt I gium the strongest remonstrances against the conduct of the violent party it the !Netherlands, who wish to plunge all t urope into war. The Luxemburg question will be referred to negociation, and not permitted to be carried by storm, as the Belgic politicians had insisted it should be. 'You will see in the accounts received this morning from the head-quarters of Marshal Diebit•ch, according to the version given in the Berlin State Gazette, that the nus sians affect to think as nothing the latt glorious actions of the Poles. OULON, At'ltlL 11. If preparations indicate war, here we have them in abundance, end theie ^a daily arrivals of artillery waggons, harness, and !liaises, from Toulouse. In all the villages ltrtit;l: 'us forage is collecting, and granaries forming, with activity. Six batteries of artillery are ordered to be in immediate readiness for service froth Ode place. Several frigates and sloops of war are alto rapidly arming. The Armide frigate has just arrived from Leghorn and Elba: another frigate and a brig have arrived from Civita Vecchia, which they left on the 9th instant; they have brotiitt four passengers from the insurgent states, and despatches, but no particulars of netrs later than that already received. Letters lust received flout Greece announce that the liellenitta, who inhabit that part of Romelitt without the asligned limits of new Greece, are carrying on a tan guinary war with the Turks. These Romenoott have de manded succour from the President tipo &Istria, but he refused compliance on the ground that such a step would commit him with the great Powers, who are mediators in the cruse of Greece: he offered, however, to distribute in new Greece, such of them as would enter at refugees from Turkish Romelia. This offer they indignantly spurned. The Prefect of the Vas has authorized the removal of the retrains of Captain Vallee, who was judiciously assassi nate,/ for his devotion to the cause of liberty. The inha bitants of Toulon will celebrate, in the most solemn manner this patriotic ceremony, and raise by subscription a modest monument to the memory of this victim of despotism. BRUSSELS PAPERS. NATIONAL CONGRESS...-. 87.1 s of APRIL 12, _ The order of the day wee discunsion of the project presented by Menem i'orgeur and Mien., relative to a de claration of War against Holland. The central section propneed to pass to the order of the day. After a short debate, the order of the day wee adopted. Toe next sub ject was the order of the day against the Orangeist press. The central section thorght it was necessary to proceed by a law against tilt tianagressors of the press, and to ap point a committee to draw it up. N. Robertlx thought, that if the Congress would em ploy itself against Orangeist laws, which were the con sequences of the principles of the revolution, there Were others more urgent; for instance, that on tilt jury, and many more. . M. Leveque thought, that as the constitution declared that the transgressions of the press should be decided on by a jury, the committee should first proceed to the or ganization of the jury. M. Nothomb thought a law to check the licentious ness of the press irmarediately necessary. The Regent had been insulted by hireling journals, and the want of this law, perhaps, caused the late disorders. The people had taken on themselves the office of the court of atetite. M. de Robaulx—The constitution will haVe the trial by jury, not only to the press, bet to triinet of every kind. 11, for want of the jut", We cannot now restraiu the press, I might say fir the same reason we cannot inflict the pe nalty of death. But your intention was to leave all as it is till a complete holy of organic laws shell Laity into effect the principles laid down by the constitution. As for the Regent, if lotto! hireling journals have insulted him, public evirtion has done him justice. Our respect for him ie his principal guarantee, —our gratitude, for the sa- Wive of his time and his habits, his reward. MM. Gendebien and Lebeau thought that the organiza tion of the jury should precede a law on the press ; and after some debate it wee resolved to add to the proposal of central section. Art. 2. It (the committee) shall propose a law for the le-introduction of the jury, with suitable modifications. The proposal for a decree against the authors of the acts of pillage was declared uttnetessary, as a committee of inquiry had been appointed. The next stihject was the proposal for the dissolution of the Congress. This question gave rise to a very long debate. Some menal , ers thought that the dissolution of the Congress and the convocation of the Chambers would be dangerous, and that the Congress eoutt4 not be considered as having com platted its work till the revolution was wholly terminated by the choice of a S , vereign. Other members were of opinion that the decree of the 4th of October, 1880, con stituting the Congress, ought to be scrupulously observed, and the sole ground for this decree is stated to be that it is important to fix the situation of Belgium, and to that end to convoke a Congress which shall examine the proposed ennotitution, modify it if necessary, and to render it valid in all Belgium as the definitive constitution. " Thus, it is evident (said M. Isid Fallon) that the functions of the Congres. should cease the moment that the constitution is decreed and can be carried into effect in all its parts. At present (he continued) our situation is in fact still provi sional. We have appointed ot Regent in conformity with the constitution , but h e h as none o f th e attr ib utes of royalty; he cannot participate in the exercise of the legis lative power, he can neither adjourn nor dissolve the Congress, whatever may be_, his opinion of the utility or the disadvantage of the acts of the Assembly, he • has no alternative but seriously to execute them ; even his right of declaring war or making peace, has been disputed; he is, in a word, nothing more than the gent of the Congress, which, in fact, governs. On the other hand, as long as the Congress remains, it may change our institutions ; State necessity is always at hand ae an argument. Mtjerities are variable; great change% have taken place in the composition of the Congr, as; the number of its Members daily decreases and the central section informs us, that one Member of it thinks it pos sible that we may change our system, and prcclaim a re public; thus the end of our revolution is doubtful, and the definitive constitution of the State a problem. I therefore vote for the dissolution of the Congress as speedy as pos sible, and for the adoption of measures to ensure the meeting of the Chambers at the same time." Messrs. Nothomb, Ch. Rogier, Rodenbsch, and others spoke against the dissolution, and it was decided, with only five dissentient voices, that the Congress should not yet fix the time of its dissolution. SITTING OF APRIL 13. In this sitting som e conversation arose on the mane fest() which a Committee was to have drawn up, respecting the causes of the revolution, but which had not been heard of for many weeks. M. Van de Weyer thought the manifesto of greit im portance ; but M. Ch. Rogier was of opinion that what they bad already done wit the best justification of the re solution, and that a minif, sto would be useless; others thought that the Congress should abide by its resolution ; and M. Van de Weyer put the question—" Shall the re solution of the Congress be adhered to ?" which was una nimously agreed to. SITTING OF APRIL 14. A Member said that it was reported that the Ministry did not seem to be in haste to fulfil its promises relative to the defence of Luxemburg ; to which M. d'llant de Steenhause replied, and repeated the assurance that the intentions of the Congress for the defence of our territory shall be fulfilled. On the question of the prorogation of the Congress, M. Claes, reporter, said, that in the central section four Members against one had voted for the Order of the Day on the proposal to pro rogue indefinitely the dissolution of the Congress; they . thought that as the electoral law had passed by which the elections were to take place in June, and as the Constitution fixed the convoca tion of the Chambers on the second Tuesday of November every year, it would be suspending the Constitution in part, if the Con- gross should exist atter the month of November, and that the elections ought to be made in June. M. I'. Devaux said, this report is only a pleading against your resolution of the day before Yesterday, and the decree which resulted from it ; there are no elections to be made for Chambers which do not exist. Shall there be partial elections to fill up the vacancies in the Congress P lam for the affirmative. M. de Theur, disapproving of the opinions of the Central Sec tion, proposed the following resolution, which was adopted : " Article I. From the 16th of April he session of the Congress is prorogued (prolonged) without fixed adjournment. 2. The President and the Government shall have the right to con coke it. " 3. For any place that is or may become vacant, a deputy and a substitute shall be elected according to the decrees of the 10th, 12th, and 16th of October last." At the close of the sitting, M. Lebeau, the Minister7or Foreign Affairs, said he had re.. ceived no official answer to the despatches which he had sent, in order to obtain categorical answers respecting the discussions of the Congress at London ; but that N. C. Le lion had announced that he had been invited to see the French Ministry, to receive a final answer from the French Cabinet. He added, that he had good authority for saying that the French Cabinet mediated in a very active and friendly manner in all our affairs before the Con gress at Lond on . W e have the i)ovierful protection of France, and if it has assented to the protocols, it has done so only to have the grounds for further negociations which will refute the Innis ter3rreports that have been circulated.'

Journal states, in a letter from Rothe dated the `./•2d instant, that the Pope had held a Council of Cardinals, and had there produced a protocol from Paris, dated March 11, in which France and Austria, with the consent of Russia, Poland, and England, guaranteed to the Holy See the full and free possession of its States. (From the Journal des Debats of Thursday.) PARIS, Aran . la—Many facts which have lately come to light prove that the Spanish Miiiiitry doeti riot know how to play its part with regard to our Government, and that our Cabinet has the power of controlling the political and financial existence of Spain, and that in one hour of bad humour it could upset both one and the other; and do so now without RAMO men, or 40,1 millions. Letters from Portugal, of the Ist of April, state that an un fortunate Frenchnian, condemned under an iniquitous sentence, had been promenaded and flogged. through the streets of Lisbon The French Consul and the principal merchants endeavoured, but in Valli, to prevent this shameful spectacle. It is impossible for France to tolerate any longer the insults of the wretched creatures who oppress Portugal. The Navy of that country ought to be made accountable for the crimes of its infamous Government ..... The Quolidienne of to-day says that the Court of Dome is not willing that conferences should be held in that capital upon the affairs of Italy, and that this has been formally announced to M. de St. Aulaire by Cardinal Bernetti, so that the French Go- Ternment might be made acquainted with the circumstance.

COURT OF ASSIZES—SirriNci OF APRIL 13. M. Miller, Advocate-General, woo had announced that he would reply, abandoned his intention. M. Hardoing, the President, summed up the evidence with a talent and impartiality that made a deep impression on the pri soners and the audience. The Jury then retired, anti atter a deliberation of nearly three hours, re-entered the Court and returned a verdict of Sot Guilty. This verdict was received with clapping of hands and acclama tions. The President immediately gaveo rders for such persons a, disturbed the Court to be turned out, but order was soon restored. The prisoners were then introduced, and Counsellor Catheri. net read to them the Jury's verdict. The President pronounced the acquittal of the prisoners, and ordered them to be set at liberty forthwith. Upon the Court's breaking up the hall resounded with shouts of applause, and the bar was lieseged by an immense multitude, who pressed forward to shake hands with the prisoners. As soon as the acquittal was known out of door loud acclama tions were beard, and a vast concourse flocked round the gate of the Conciergerie to witness the departure of the prisoners, but by a prudent precaution they were discharged by another door. The Augsburg Gazette publishes a letter of Duke Charles of Brunswick to his brother, now the reigning Duke. In this letter which fills three columns, the Duke states it as his immutable opinion, that the revolution at Brunswick was brought about by bribery—that his brother reigns against his inclination—and that he has no influence, for he could not even receive in audience Counsellor Fricke, without losing his popularity. Duke Charles afterwards complains of being without money, and concludes by ; requesting his brother to renounce the Government in his favour. " It appears certain," says the Colirrier Francais, " that the entrance of the troops of the German Confederation into the Duchy of Luxembourg is postponed. It wes fixed for this day (April le), but has been postponed to May 18. If we may give credit to accounts from Belgium, this delay will not be lost by the friends of the national independence. Every means will Le employed to render the invasion more difficult. Troops are to be organised in the Duchy, ann intrencliments raised at every point susceptible of defence." The Austrian Observer, after giving a detailed account of the progress of the Austrians in Italy, states that the revolution in the States of the Church is now at an end, red that as soon as public order should be perfectly re-established the Imperial troops will leave the Papal dominions. (From Le Temps f Saturday.) PA RIS, APRIL 15.—1 t has been o stated this morning that a ' letter has been received by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, from the French Consul at Lisbon, detailing the injustice done to several French subjects, and of the fruitless representations made to the monster who governs Portugal. It is further added that orders have been sent to Government by one of our se-a ports to fit out two frigates for the Tagus, with the intention of demanding immediate satisfaction from the usurper of the throne of Donna Maria. We are surprised that the Minister, who seems to have acted with decision and promptness on this occasion, has not made the public acquainted with the occurrence .

"PARIS, Aram General Lamarque, in the speech which he delivered YeAerday; pretends that M. de St. Aulaire met at Forli, the outposts of the Italian insurgents, and addressed some words to them. There is.only one little difficulty here. M. de St. Aulaire did not pass through Forli, but fcirty leagues from it; he did not fall in on his road with a single ohe or the Italian in surgents' and, .consequently; could not address to them the words which have 'seen assigned to him. M. Lafayette, in the same sitting, seemed to allude to a newspaper report of a pre tended prohibition to M. de St. Aulaire to pass through Modena This is another error : it never was intended that M. de St. Au laire should pass through Modena.

(From the Messager des Chambres of Sunday.) ROME, APRIL 3. —You must, nodoubt, be astonished to hear of the surrender of Ancona, after the brave opposition made by the insurrectionary troops on the 27th of March. But your sur prise will cease upon knowing the following facts. The annals of the priesthood will receive another tr.:it of perfidy, and the patriots, treating with their Sovereign, have once more been made the dupes of, theii confiding diSposition. Ydu are aware that Cardinal lienvenuti was arrested at Osini, for endeavouring to Create the Cbunter-revtilutioh. The Members of the Provisional Government met at Ancona, wishing to stop the erfUsion of blood, set the Cardinal at liberty, entering into the following convention with him ; and it was printed and published, so as to give it more effect:— •` A full and entire amnesty shall be maintained by the Aus trians towards the insurgent troops, " Finally, the Cardinal Legate pledges his word of honour that the convention shall be faithfully observed." The Cardinal Legate lost no time in sending the convention to the Secretary of State, for the approbation of the Pope. His Highness immediately called a Council of Cardinals, and in two hours after the arrival of the courier the convention was declared null, the Holy See protesting against such an attack upon the dignity and independence of the Pontifical throne. The reasons alleged fbr the nullity of the convention are— Cardinal Denvenuti, appointed Legate a late& in February, before the treaty made between the Austrians and the Holy See, could not act in that capacity in the month of March, after their victory. The Cardinal was not in the enjoyment of freedom when he signed this convention._ fhe condescension of the Cardinal could not in any manner bind the Holy See. The courier wait sent off ifistaritly to Ancona to reprove the weakness of the Cardinal, and summon him to Rome to answer for his conduct. In the mean time the fortress of Ancona remains in possession of the Austrians ; the flag of the Holy Father waves its walls, and the insurgents are subjected to all kinds of vexation and anxiety. A letter from Memel states that the insurgents of Lithuania are still sbotiring the country Of Saittogitla, in the environs of Polangen, and are cutting oircOmuurnications with the interior of Russia; they have already burnt the bridge of Mittau i Old Polangen and a neighbouring village have been reduced to ashes. However, the Konisgentrg Gazette states that the 5,000 peasants who revolted in Samogitia have dispersed; but the insurrectional party still continue their contention with the garrison of \Vilna. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.—+SMING OF APRIL 13. 31. Bignon entered into a consideration of the affair of Lux ein bourg, He did net conceive that it was a necessary cause for declaration of war by France, • but insisted, at least, that she should not come to any positive decision upon the subject, until the fate of Poland and of Italy Was deterinined. General Lafayette thanked the Minister. for Foreign Affairs for the frank and positive manner in which he had qualified the tyrant of Portugal, in designating as a monster him whom his friends ;had only called cowardly and cruel. That name of monster had already been proclaimed from the tribune by a respectable De puty ; but it possessed a very different importance when officially pronounced, in- the name of the King's Government, by the Mi nister for Foreign Affairs.. It was a good omen for the approach ing fall of that wretch, especially when the English Minister for Foreign Affkirs may be Invited to read over again the excellent discourse of Lord Palmerston_, then a Member of the Opposi tion, on Portugal and Don Miguel; more particularly ween it is known that all the moat honourable and worthy men of that country and in exile or in irons, and that there is in Terceira an army faithful to the Charter and to the young Queen, whose bust may be seep in the palaces of the King of England, and in those of the King of the French.—(Marks of assent.) The President of the Council rose to answer what had been said in the course of the debate,; and particularly by General La marque who had accused the Government of declining to give explanations upon their foreign policy. Gentlemen, before we engage lightly in a war to defend foreigners, let us think of de fending France.—(Hear.) Can we be reproached with having neglected the defence, the dignity, and independence of France. —(Hear, hear.) Is not the present Ministry the only party who have, since the revolution of July, demanded funds for war ? for let it not be forgotten, that'the one huudred millions of francs granted by the last Bill that was passed, was destined only to complete the peace establishment. Can we, then, be accused of want of precaution ? Gentlemen, . the British Government, so powerful, and so proud of its power, offers to other nations a most striking example of the true sense in which the most so lemn and energetic protestations of non-intervention are to be taken. When the Great Powers of Europe assembled their Ple nipotentiaries at Verona, to consider the means of stilling by force the freedom of Spain; England sent as her representative at this Congress of the Holy Alliance the General who had fought for her in 1815. The Duke of . Wellington, in the name of the British Government, declared that Great Britain would not consent to an armed intervention of the Foreign Powers against the liberties of Spain. In spite o the decla ration, however, you know that the absolutists of Europe did interfere, and it was the elder branch of the Bourbons who, in obedience to the injunctions of the Holy Alliance, undertook this great political attempt—(Hear, hear.) What did England do under these circumstances ? Finding it to her advantage to remain at peace, she did so. The opposition party in the Par liament attacked the Ministry on its inaction, and called upon Mr. Canning to fulfil the promise it assumed from these words, " England will not consent" To this Mr. Canning replied that England had not consented, and never would consent, either by actual co-operation or otherwise, to any act of violence by a foreign Government against the political institutions of any country, but would never engage, even in consequence of such foreign intervention, to enter into a war that was not warranted by some interest truly British. Well, Gentlemen, we also de. clare that we will never consent to make wars not called for by some interest purely French, even in the name of non-interven tion.—(Hear, hear.) I have already declared, in the name of the Government, that we will never explain tie principle of non-intervention, but for the well-undersood interests of France. Upon the subject of Foreign politics, the opposition has but one language; that is, to call tor war—offensive war.—(Hear, hear, in the negative from the gauche, answered by numerous voices in the affirmative.) To maintain peace abroad, and tranquility at home, one thing only is needful—let France be governed.— (Cheers.) France is entirely free abroad as well as at home. She has not declared herself either the accomplice of any des potism nor the vassal of any insurrection._(hear,) Poland Italy, and Belgium, have all been referred to. Poland, by her courage, has won admiration even from her enemies. Events in Italy have followed in rapid succession. Nothing can be done but by negotiation. France will perform all the duties of huma nity.—(Hear, hear.) Belgium appears at this moment the most unfortunate affair of all Europe.—(Hear, hear.) She keeps all minds in suspense, and gives occasion for those political combi nations which unsettled spirits delight in. The question of Lux embourg is a very simple one. By express treaties the province belongs to the family of Nassau, and the fortresses to the Ger man confederation. Do not deceive yourselves, Gentlemen; it is depervdence to which you are counselled, when you are shown all the nations which call up you to engage in their quarrels. What is proposed to you is, to send sour arrnier to the assistance of the insurgents of all countries—that to make them the hired guards of every insurrection: —(Murmurs on the lett . ; de veral voices, " Yes, yes." Is it thus, I ask, that national inde pendence is understood . Gentlemen, believe us, the affhir of Luxembourg will not bring war along with it. No weighty in terest, no anterior engagement, no legitimate foresight, obliges us to rush to arms. War is a thing sometimes to be decided upbn but never desired. We persist in wishing for peace.—(Marks of approbation.) M. Odillon Barrot defended his Hon. Friends and himself aga inst the charge of wishing f ar war, which they consid ere d i n _ jurious to civilization, and might be fatal to liberty. The people in fact, had sufficient proofs that the alliance of Europe against liberty was not a vain word, and it was with a presentiment 'of such a danger that France took up arms. M. Baude inquired of the Minister of War why he had bought i n England a great quantity of muskets, when he might have ob tained them in France at a much cheaper rate? The Minister of War stated, in reply, that at the time when the contract for muskets was concluded there was a great scar cit• of arms in the country, and the chances of war were immi nent. At the same time all the manufactories of arms in France were put into full work. Eight hundred thousand mus kets had been distributed to the National Guards, and 1,500,000 were demanded. If there was any abuse it must be attributed to necessity. M. Maughin then entered into the question of peace or war, maintaining that war was a thousand times preferable to the state of uncertainty in which France was placed. The honolir, dignity, and interests of the country required that Poland should not be swallowed up by Russia, Italy by Austria, and Belgium by Prussia.—(Cheers.)—Adjourned. CHAMBER OF DEP U TlES.—Srrrisc OF APRIL 14, 11. Cherles Dupin renewed the discussion of yesterday by op ine an amendment moved at the close of the Sitti ng, which uggr.sted a system entirely different from that propo se d b y the Bill, substituting resources which H.

Z r ligence announcitikithatjthea,Ustrians had quitted Modena.—See Chamber of Peers.) M. de Tracy went into an examination of the bill, which he characterised as unconstitutional, and in no way justified 4y ne cessity. All the meanuret whin kifisters had for some time pro posed were aibitiary, though legal.—(Loud murmurs from the centre.) The Minister for Foreign Affairs examined the principal mo. lives on which those relied Who Opposed the credit demanded. He thought that the Chamber could not be ignorant that the sums already voted were insuffic;ent if war were necessary. He then mentioned the evacuation, of Italy by Austria. Do you ima gine, said he, that the Government is not deeply occupied with the fate of Italy, and that couriers are not daily despatched ? Trust to the humanity of the rilinlstrV.—(Cheers ) M. Sebastiani concluded by etpressing a hop e th at - the Chamber would not re. fuse to the Government the means of rendering peace certain; for, said he, it is with that intention that Ministers are preparing for war, its prudence foreseeing the necessity of keeping the country ready for every event. The Chamber then proceeded to the discussion of the list Article, as amended by the Committee, which runs as follows Art. 1. In case of necessity, the Government is authorised in the interval between the Sessions - of Imo and Ism, to carry h.. a ;.YrdOlitlatice of urgency th e cre d i t an d sup pliesahV—ady graded to a further sum of 100,000,000 fran cs . ' M. Ganneron proposed to substitute for the words "In case of necessity," the words, in case of war." The President a the Council declared that it was owing to the first reception this pplica• tion met With that the Govern ment had succeeded in obtaining the evacution of Italy, because it was well known that war was not carried on by mere phrases, but by men andrrioney. q'he Minister then replied to the objec tions taken on thegrounds of the measure being unconstitutional, and ofthegreat aniount of the rants already made, none of which however, were intended as a firovision for war. M Berryer derfianded an ixplicit declaration from the Go vermrient, whether the law *as intended to meet any new in ternal ex pences. Lafitte said the object of the Government was clear. 'I he word necessity had been nsed instead of the word war, as snore suitable ; but it was evident that the latter case was only in con templation. Means - had been required for setting on foot 430,000 men, but difficulties had arisen, and it had become ne cessary to put an ehd to the present state of things, which was neither that of peace nor wan The Government wished to be enabled is say tb foreigners—" We are deSirons of peace, and to obtain it we have the means of bringing immediately into the field an army of 480,000 men. It should be understood that the t..n0,006,000 francs have been employed in putting the army upon the footing of peace, and that the 100,000,000 francs now de manded are destined to put the army in motion in case of war." He concluded by declaring he could not believe that there would be one voice against the Bill.—(Cheers.) M. Ganneron then withdrew his amendment. The ensemble of the law was carried by a majority of 246 to 51. Adjourned. CHAMBER OF PEERS.—SITTING OF APRIL I-I. The President of the Council presented the Electoral Law as again amended by the Deputies, and justified the return to the qualification of '2(10 francs of taxes, on the ground of the delay which an adoption of the Peers' amendrneht would create. He then read the additional article, which was immediately referred to the Committee. The Duke Decazes begged ;to be 'allowed to take advantage of the presence of the President of the Council to ask him for explanations upon words uttered in another place yesterday. An• Honourable General had imputed to the Count St. Aulaire, the King's Ambassador at Rome, language which was equally incon. sistent with his private character and the public ottice with which he was invested, and at variance with the political principles he had professed from the commencement of his Parliamentary career, and, he might also say, with the principles of the Go vernment itself. Instructions given to our Ambassador have been talked of, and he has been made to say that his instructions were in conformity with the conduct of the Austrians. I am not acquainted with his instructions, but I do know that if they had been such he would never have accepted the Embassy, and that they never could have proceeded from Ministers who hold such noble sentirnetits as those uttered yesterday by the President of the Council. The President of the Council replied—Not only, was the statement with respect to the Count de Saint Aulaire incor. rect, but the protest he delivered upon his arrival at Rome proves that he followed his instructions. I will also add that, even if the instructions of the Government had not laid down the line of conduct he was to pursue, the Count de St. Aulaire had but to consult his own feelings and judgment, to justify the confidence placed in him by the Ring. Since lam called upon by this Chamber to enter into explanations relating to transactions in Italy, 1 will take the opportunity of acquainting it that we have just received an official communication from Vienna, that by the present tithe the Austrians will have retired from Rome and the Roman States. This retrograde march is the answer to the calm but firm note we felt it our duty to direct our Ambassador to address to the Austrian Cabinet ; but at the same time it is but just to declare that orders for the evacuation' had preceded the delivery of this note.—(Hear, hear.) "CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES—SITTING OF APRIL 16. " The sitting commenced at two o'clock, and the Chamber pro ceeded to the report of the commission for petitions. " M. de Lessert presided. " An observation was made by M. de Tracy in consequence of one of the petitions, read by a reporter, relating to a law which had already been passed in this House. M. de Tracy thought it was the duty of the Commissioners to examine the petitions, and to bring those forward which related to any question before that House during the deliberation of the same. M. de Jolivet defended at the tribune a prefect of la Garonne who had been accused of falsifying the late elections, and who had made a demand to this Chamber to justify his defence. " M. de Tracy reported a petition of some of the students at law, tending to abolish the monopoly of the Royal Colleges, and some other abuses of the same ; and was seconded by M. Bizieu du Lezard. " The Minister of Public Instruction, M. Vatismenil, then , ascended the tribune to oppose the petition, inasmuch as it tended te.the entireabolution of the monopoly of the University; but said that it was the intention of Government nevertheless to facilitate as soon as possible the rights of free edactation ac. corded by the Charter to all citizens. Al. de Tracy proposed from the Commission that the peti tion should be •referred to the Minister of Public Instruction, and particularly recommended to his care. The Chamber adopted the:propOoial of the Ciiinniission. 31: - (16 .

This was op. posed by some of the deputies, as not being according to the 'charter. But M: de Tracy backed the petition, and proposed from the commission that the petition should be recommended to the Minister of the War department. The Chamber adopted the proposal. " There were 'no other petitions of sufficient interest to be noted. The order of this day' contains likewise the discussion on M.

HAMBURG,. APRIL 12.—The Prussian State Gazette of yesterday contains the. following : " According to the latest intelligence from Meniel the Russian garrison of Polangen left that place during the night, between the sth and 6th instant, and retreated upon the Prussian territory." From Konigsberg they write that the defeat of the in surgents, near Rossientia, is confirmed by later accounts from the Russian frontier. The insurgents suffered se verely on the occasion, several being killed by the shot, and a still greater number driven into the Duhissa and drowned. Their leader, a landholder from the vicinity of Ropollen, was taken prisoner. In the direction of Georgenburg, the frontier is still occupied by the in surgents, so that we are without any positive information as to the extent of the insurrection. In Georgenburg the insurgents have plundered the house of several fugitive functionaries." The St.' Petersburg Mail ,of the 30th ult. reached Hamburg► this morning, having been brought from Libel' to Memel by water. The papers contain but little matter of interest, hut the private letters are curious, in as far as they betray a perfect confidence in the prompt and satis factory termination of the Polish war. WARSAW, Aram I.—Our papers now contain Gen. Skrzynecki's circumstantial report of the victory of Dembe- Wielkie, all the principal points of which are already be. fore the public. A part of our army is said to be ad vancing, by forced marches, towards. Bialystock, in order to attack the Russian Guard encamped there. Detach ments are also said to have been sent northward front Ks luszyn, to destroy tee bridges over the Bug, by which means it is expected the retreat of the guards encamped between that river and the Narew will be cut off. When our troops arrived Kaluszyn last Friday the Jews of tha place, though high prices Were offered, re ftked to sell our soldiers any provisions, asserting that the Russians had taken everything from them by accident ; ho.vever, a stock of eatables was discovered concealed in one of the houses. Hereupon a search ensued, and our brave fellows were soon abundantly supplied. The evening be t'ore last intelligence was received that the Polish troop, had taken up positions in the vicinity of Laskarzew and Ze.. lechow. The Russian army had retreated on the Wieprz, their held quartets being at Ryki. Under these circum stances a pitched battle is likely to be fought either to day or to-morrow on the plains of Mawjowice.

General Lili enstern left this city on a mission to the Courts of Bavaria, Wurtemburg, and B 'den, with which, as we learn from good authority, Prussia will probably conclude an alliance for an armed neutrality. • STOCKHOLM, Aram l.—One the 23d ult. seven ships, loaded with wheat, sailed Jr .m Ma'aloe for England, and several English ships were expected, for which cargoes of wheat had been purchased by Danish agents. The ex portation of corn from our kingdom remains free, not withstanding the scarcity in some places ; still importa tion is rendered impossib e by the high dtities. One of our Journals affirm*, that orders have been sent to Carlscrona to put all the ships of our fleet into such a state, that they may be armed and , equipped at the shortest notice. BRUNSWICK, APRIL 9,—A considerable number of horses are wanted for the contingent d our troops required to join the army of the confederation. In the next fortnight, two regiments of cavalry, and some of infantry—about eight thousand men in march through our Duchy. (A shnikr notice for the purchase of horses has .besa given at Hanover.) Letters from Mecklenburg say—" We hear that two battalions of our troops of the line, two companies of light infantry, and 160 cavalry, are ordered to be in readiness to march by 20th April." THE HAGUE, ArEIL 14.—Yesterday morning the King and Queen returned to this town from Amsterdam. Their Majesties, OH leaving that city, expressed theirgra— tification at the cordial and loyal reception they met with from the citizens of the capital. We hear from several quarters that the Government will shortly lay before the States-General a modified tariff of customs, which, it is affirmed, will be conformable to the principles of free trade formerly adopted in Holland. We have accounts fionrltatavia to December 4. They mention a dreadful fire that had taken place in the Chinese camp at Sample. AMSTERDAM ' APRIL 13. Actual Debt, 2% per cent 39 to 39N . .

The Reform question comes on again this evening in the House of Commons. The faction, it is said, will muster strong on the occasion, but if Ministers be firm and stick to their text, they cannot , fail to conquer. Let them rest assured that the whole kingdom to a man is with them ; that the people have decided that the Bill, and nothing but the Bill, shall be carried; and that whatever be the difficul ties Ministers have to contend against, the country will support them at all hazards, and never rest un til they be triumphant. . The German Journals raen.tion that another grand battle had been fought between the Russians and Poles, in which the latter had decidedly the advan tage. By the French Papers we learn that the French Cabinet has received, what it calls, a satisfactory answer from Austria: that is to say, the Aus trian troops have promised to evacuate the Papal dominions, though not, it will be perceived, before they have already done as much mischief to the cause of,non-interv,ention,as could possibly be compassed within the time. We have only room to-day for the following na val news from the Partsnzouth Herald of yesterday : " His Majesty's ship Ariadne, 28, Captain Charles Phillips ; Despatch, IS, Com. E. A. Frankland ; Nautilus, 10, Commander Right Hon. Lord George Paulett ; and Savage, 10, Corn. Right Hon. Lord E. Russell, sailed yesterday evening, with sealed ordeis. The reports, as to their destination, are not to be de pended on. But we incline rather to believe that they are intended for Lisbon. " His Majesty's ship Aettron, 26, Captain the lion. F. W. Grey (fitted for the Mediterranean station), went out of harbour yesterday, and is expected to sail on Wednes day next. Commander Win. Smith (b),lappo;nted to the Phdomel, will take passage in the Actaeon to join that sloop." The destination of these vessels is supposed to be Li,bon ; but they are not to open their orders till off the Lizard Point. We should not be surprised to learn that they are bound for the coast of Poland, in or der to protect British interests in that quarter. In deed we know that four vessels of war were s een well out in the Channel steering to the Northward on Saturday night. Ten sail of the line are ordered for immediate service to form a Squadron of Observation.
