IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, FEBRUARY 16. Sir MICHAEL SHAW STEWART presented a petition from Little Dunkeld, in favour of Parliamentary Reform• WESTERN PART 01 7 IRELAND. Mr. DOMINICK BROWNE said that he had three petitions to present from the western part of Ireland, re lating to the want of food in that district ; but that, in the thin attendance of Members, he would confine himself to presenting one of them, and would reserve the others for to-morrow. The Hon. Gentleman stated that the dis tress which existed in that part of Ireland, from the want of emplcyment, and the apprehenson of the speedy want of food, was extreme. Whatever might be the cause of that distress, he conceived that it was the duty of his Ma jesty's Government to take means to prevent the inhabi tants from being reduced to absolute starvatiol. The dis tress had been greatly increased by the run upon the banks, which had affected not only the lower but the middle classes in Galway and Sligo; it having been impossible to get large and good bills discounted on any terms. Along the whole of the coast there had been a complete failure in the potato crop. These circumstances, added to the re duction of the duty on barilla, and other causes, had driven the people into a state of the utmost destitution. He had it on the authority, not of the petitioners only, but of the Marquis of Sligo, and other highly-respectable individuals, that there was not a month's provision in band. Unless some interference speedily took place, it was to be feared that the dreadful scenes of 1792 would be renewed ; aggra vated by that distress among the higher orders which pre vented them from employing and relieving the lower. The petitioners did not pray for money ; all that they required was employment, by which they might obtain the necessa ries of life. He would now present the least important of the three petitions, which . was fron3 the inhabitants of Letterwallin, in the county of Galway, engaged in the kelp trade. KILDARE-STREET SOCIETY. Sir J. NEWPORT presented a petition, in the prayer of which, the Hon. Baronet observed, he in a great measure concurred, from a numerous and highly respect able body of the inhabitants of Waterford, against the present system of Irish Education Grants. Mr. LEFROY expressed an opinion strongly i❑ favour of the Kildare-street Institution; and said, that whenever the subject came under the consideration of the House, he should be prepared to show that it was a most valuable establishment. IRISH VESTRY LAWS. Sir JOHN NEWPORT presented another petition from forty Protestant inhabitants of Waterford, against the Vestry Laws. Mr. WYSE was rejoiced at this brilliant example of religious liberality. This was the first petition from Pro testants calling for the repeal of the Vestry Act. He was satisfied that no alteration of that Act would be suffi cient, but that it must be totally repealed ; for it was intolerable in a free country that a large portion of the people should he thus taxed without their own consent, and without having au) , controul over the money forced from them. Colonel AI3ERCROMBIE presented a petition from the inhabitants of Alloa, praying for an extension of the elec tive franchise. DEVON REFORM MEETING. Lord EBRINGTON presented a petition, praying for Parliamentary Reform, agreed to at a public meeting without a dissenting voice, and signed ' between six and seven thousand freeholders and inhabitants, paying rates and taxes, of the county of Devon. The Noble Lord ob served, that it was well known that the county of Devon had repeatedly petitioned for Parliamentary Reform, but it was a peculiar tea'ute of the present petition, that among the signatures attached to it were the names of several highly respectable persons, who had never before expressed an opinion in favour of a Reform in Parliament. There would have been more signatures to the petition, had not a number of persons conceived, that as the question had been at length taken up by the Ministers of the Crown, it was no longer necessary for the people to make their usual exertions ; an opinion which, in his opinion, was erro neous. On one point connected with Parliamentary Re form—he meant the election by ballot—he would not then enter ; but he should not do his tiuty to the House if he did not state that that question was making great progress in the county which he had the honour to represent, and, as he had reason to believe, throughout the whole king dom. He could not conclude without congratulating his constituents and the country at large, that that prayer which they had so often made to the House, was now in a fair way of being granted.—He moved that the petition should lie on the table. Sir THOMAS ACLAND seconded the motion, and bore testimony to the highly respectable character of the petitioners. his Noble Colleague had said that the peti tion was signed by several persons who had never before expressed an opinion in favour of a Reform in Parliament. He himself (Sir T. Arland) had attended the meeting from which the petition emanated, for the first time, with sentiments favourable to Reform, and in accordance with those of the petitioners ; he was satisfied, however, that the time had now arrived when Parliamentary Reform was highly expedient. He would not go at that moment into the question of Reform, as abundant opportunities would soon offer themselves for the expression of his opinions. Those opinions he had stated at the meeting of the county of Devon, though perhaps not so strongly, and further re flection confirmed him in them. He hoped, however, that the course taken by his Majesty's Government and the House would be marked by caution as well as by firmness, and that the deliberations of Parliament on the subject would exhibit that regard to the ancient and venerable in stitutions of the country which was perfectly consistent with the reparation of those defects which time had pro duced in them. GENERAL FAST. Mr. FONVELL BUXTON, in presenting a petition from the clergy and inhabitants of the Diocese of Nor wich in favour of a general fast, expressed his satisfaction, that when the subject had been recently brought forward, no disposition bad been manifested in the House, or in any part of it, to treat that subject with merriment. Mr. MUNDAY presented several petitions from the workers of lead mines in Leicestershire, complaining of distress. IRELAND. Lord KILLEEN presented petitions from several parishes in the county of Meath ; some against the tithe system, others against the vestry laws. On present ing a petition from another parish, praying for the re peal of the Union, his Lordship expressed his regret that he could not concur with the petitioners. At the same time he hoped, and was indeed sure, that his Majesty's Government would seriously turn their attention to re lieve the various grievances under which the people of Ire land laboured; and he had no doubt that, before the end of the Session, the people of Ireland would be convinced of that which he (Lord Killeen) never doubted—that Par liament and the people of this country deeply sympathised yn their sufferings, and were prepared to exert themselves ;:u their behalf.—(Hear, bear.) Mr. STANLEY perfectly concurred in the sentiment o f the Noble Lord, that no indifference existed either on the part of his Majesty's Ministers, or on the part of this country, with respect to the condition of Ireland. With out going into questions which might more properly be discussed on future occasions, he would simply state, that the attention of his Majesty's Government was now di rected to the introduction of such measures as in their opinion were most calculated to remedy the grievances of which the people of Ireland justly complained.—(Hear ) Mr. HUME presented a petition, numerou•ly and re spectably signed, from the parish of Winterborne, in the county of Gloucester, against the present system of tithes. He also presented a petition from a parish in the Isle of Ely, to the same effect. REFORM IN PARLIAMENT. Mr. HUME also presented fourteen petitions on the sub ject of Parliamentary Reform---one from the parish of St. Marylebone, and one from St. Pancras, praying for Radi cal Reform ; and twelve from different places in Scotland. DUTY ON ADVERTISEMENTS IN IRISH NEWS- PAPERS. Mr. BROWNE asked if it were the intention of Go vernment to extend the reduced scale of Advertisement Duty to Ireland—namely, Is. for advertisements under . ten lines, and 2s. 6d. for all above it ? Lord ALTHORP replied in a very low tone of voice, sad with his back turned to the gallery ; judging, how ever, from a few disjointed words which did reach the gal lery, we presume his answe r was in the affirmative, and that the new regulations respecting advertisements are to lUe extended to Ireland. EMPLOYMENT OF THE POOH. 3fr. BRISCOE moved for leave to bring as end the 5 9 th of Geo. 111. , c. 12, as it relates to the letting and leasing of land to labour era. Mr. STURGES BOURNE and Mr. J. Smrrix supported the motion. Sir J. SHELLEY was of opinion that parishes ought to take a quantity of laud, in order to give employment to their own poor ; and thus in some measure enable the pauper to contribute to his own support. Mr. PORTMAN feared that such a plan would be im practicable with regard to parishes, but private individuals might thus let lout small portions of land to poor men, who would flir t s he enabled to support themselves with out entirely depending on parish assistance, and who would, consequently, raise themselves above the degraded state in v hick they now were. However, he must say, that rat'aer than see the present system patched up in this manner..,, he should wish Parliament to repeal most of the Acts on the subject till they got back to the Act of Eliza. beth. This was a subject which his Majesty's Ministers must speedily take into their consideration. Lord ALTHORP said his Majesty's Ministers had the qr.estion of the poor laws now under their consideration, } - ,ut they found it was a difficult subject on which to come to any satisfactory conclusion. It would be most impru dent to take an ill-advised step on the subject. If the system of partly paying the labourer wages out of the poor laws could be got rid of, the administration of those laws would be much improved. The proposition of the Hon. Member for Surrey had his approbation, so far as he un derstood it. Mr. CALCR AFT thought the true cause of the evil was to be found in a most redundant poptilatiwn. No good could he done till the effect of that evil could be remedied. Mr. SADLER denied that there was any redundancy of the labouring population, and observed that the evils of the poor laws were to be attributed to very different causes. So long as there were so many thousand acres uncultivated, he could not see how any one could assert that we pos sessed a redundant population. Mr. TENNANT thought, that by emigration alone was the country to be saved from a dreadful convulsion. Leave was then given to bring in the Bill. REDUCTION OF OFFICES. On the motion of Lord ALTHORP, that the House do resolve itself into a Committee of Supply, Mr G. DAWSON asked the Noble Lord, what was the amount of salaries saved to the public by the reduction of the 210 officers, which the Noble Lord stated that he had abolished ? He also wished to know what was the addi tional amount of superannuation that would become charged on the revenue by the reduction of these offices; but he was more desirous of receiving an answer to the first of these questions. Lord ALTHORP said, that he could not give an ex ict answer to the Right Hon. Gentleman on either of these questions. He bad rl,t yet had an opportunity of ac curately ascertaining what would be the amount saved; but he wished to remind the Right Hon. Gentleman, that when he announced the reduction, he did not announce it as a saving of salaries, so muula as of a giving up of pa tronage.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. G. DAWSON thought the information ought to be furnished. Lord ALTHORP repeated, that at this moment he could not give the informatio❑ required. If he were to look at the amount of salaries attached to the places that had been abolished, he might be enabled to make a rough calculation ; but that would not give the House a clear idea of the saving ; for, in many instances, the superan nuation allowance was considerable. The principle, how ever, on which the Government had acted, was this, that where places were useless, they ought to be abolished at once, without reference to the amount of saving, or to the amount of the superannuation that might be attached to the office. Mr. HUME hoped that the Noble Lord would not fix the amount of supe:annuation fur these abolished offices, till it was known whether some of these persons might not be required to give their services in other offices. He knew instances in which offices had been abolished, and superan nuations created, and then fresh persons had been ap pointed to fill vacancies in other offices, instead of those offices being filled by some of those whose offices had been abolished. He hoped the Noble Lord would not imitate this example. Lord ALTHORP said it was the intention of Govern ment, in every possible case, to fill up vacancies in offices of efficient service, by the appointment of persons from the redundant offices. He did not take any particular credit for this, because he believed that the practice had been begun by the late Government. AIR. O'CONNELL. Mr. STANLEY—I rise, Sir, for the purpose of stating to the Noble Lord (the Marquis of Chandos) a communi cation which I have received to-day, with respect to the recent proceedings in Ireland ; and I am anxious to take the present opportunity of doing so. It will be in the re collection of the House that the trial of Mr. O'Connell took place on Saturday morning last, and the question was put to me by the Noble Lord on Monday. The question of the Noble Lord was to this effect :—" Whether any terms had been made by the Government, or any com promise with Mr. O'Connell ; or whether the law was to take its course ?" I am in the recollection of the House, and I beg to say, on that occasion, I observed, as nearly as I can recollect, that no terms bad been entered into with Mr. O'Connell—that he had placed himself and the country in such a situation, it was impossible for the Government of Ireland to recede from the course which had been taken, and that he must be the hest judge of his own conduct, and that the law must take its course. So far as I re collect this was the substance of what I asserted, in an swer to the question put to me by the Noble Lord.— (Hear.) At that time I had only received intelligence of the bare fact of the trial and the conviction. This morning I have received a snore detailed account of what took place ; and, with the permission of the House, I will re- fer to a part of it. The statement will corroborate the opinions 1 then gave respecting the matter ; and I will now, although from a private letter, addressed to me by the Attorney-General for Ireland, proceed to read an ex tract, in order to show the facts as they transpired, being anxious that the House should be in possession of the whole of the case, as far as the Government is concerned. The original indictment, the House will recollect, against the Learned Gentleman and his associates, contained a great many counts, the first 14 of which went to charge them with a violation of the law. The next 16 charged them with conspiring to evade the laws. To the first 14 counts Mr. O'Connell demurred, and to the last 16 pleaded not guilty. The effect of his demurrer to the 14 counts would be, when the case came before the Court for argument, supposing that the point of law upon which he demurred was decided against him, that judgment would pass against him at once, without the intervention of a Jury. After the demurrer had been filed, Mr. O'Connell, probably not having so favourable an opinion as he first entertained upon the point of law, or probably being apprehensive that a Jury would pronounce a verdict against him, applied at a subsequent period to the Court of King's Bench to allow his demurrer to be withdrawn, and place him in the same situation in which lie stood before. To this course the Court consented ; and the parties were placed in the same condition as they were in the first instance. The Attorney-General then ap plied to tl.e Court to name a day for the trial, the earliest which could be fixed. The Court of King's Bench accord ingly named the 17th of the present month. Mr. O'Connell having made two applications (I do not say for the purpose of delay), he now contended that he ought to be furnished with the names of the Jurors ; not only having 24 hours' notice, but one clear day, and another clear day for the purpose of striking off the names of Jurors to whom he objected ; and the Court having consented to this arrange ment, it became impossible to fix an earlier day for bring ing on the trial than the 17th, because it was necessary to have six clear days after the original notice was given. I now come to the passage in the letter of the Attorney- General. " On Friday last," says the Learned Gentleman, " I gave Mr. O'Connell notice that on the next day I should apply to the Court to fix a later day than the 17th. To this notice a verbal message from him to me, through the Crown Solicitor, was conveyed, to request that I would postpone the trial until next term. To this message I answered that any communication made must be made in writing. He accordingly wrote to me on Friday, making the request, and on Saturday morning I sent him a pe remptory refusal. If was not difficult to collect from this that he did not wish to encounter a Jury, and consequently, rather than do so, he would plead guilty. On Saturday I spoke to his Counsel, Messrs. Perrin and Greene, and told them, with respect to terms, none would be granted, but that Ishould press for judgment on the first fourteen counts, and should most certainly enter a noli prosequi on the re maining sixteen counts. The House will bear in mind that the latter are subsidiary to the former. " I was wil ling," continues! the Attorney-General, " to be satisfied in a conviction having the same advantages of which I had ' been deprived by the withdrawal of the demurrer, and in ten iiiinates after I had made this offer it was acceded to, and in half an hour afterwards Mr. O'Connell pleaded guilty."—(Hear.) I think., Sir, this statement bears use out in the assertion that the Government had not receded one inch from the ground which it had originally com menced.—(hear.) The Government told Mr. O'Connell that let him proceed as he would, judgment would pass against him. This negatives anyt hin g like terms bayin g been entered into.—(Hear.) In ordinary cases, at an as size, I am sure that if a party were found gu ilt y on a series of counts, and there were other counts subsidiary to those, no judgment on the latter would be asked. If it were otherwise, instead of justice being done, it would be some thing worse. The Crown hail thought it right to treat Mr. O'Connell in this case precisely as it would proceed against any other person. The Crown has vindicated the outraged law : it has prosecuted, a verdict of guilty is re corded, and it will proceed to call upon Mr. O'Connell to receive judgment.—( Hear.) I have been anxious to state these facts to the House, lest there should be persons who may say that terms have been entered into between the law officers of the Crown and Mr. O'Connell. The Marquis of CHANDOS expressed his satisfaction at the statement which had been just delivered. The motion for the postponement of the Committee of Supply was then agreed to. WAYS AND MEANS. The Marquis of CHANDOS was satisfied with the candid statement of the Right Hon. Gentleman, and he believed that both that House and the country at large would be satisfied with the course which the Government had pursued. —(Hear, hear.) On the motion of Lord ALTIIORP, the House re solved itself into a Committee of Ways and Means. Lord ALTHORP then moved three resolutions—That twelve millions be raised by Exchequer Bills for the service of this year—That two millions, part of the suns now in the Exchequer, or remaining to be received for the year 1830, to be applied to the service of the year 1831—That 60,000/. be paid into the Exchequer for the expences of retiring pay and allowances to the India forces, &c. That any sum paid into the Exchequer before the sth of April, 1832, in respect of Exchequer Bills issued for carrying on the public works for the united kingdom, be so applied. The House the❑ resumed, and the report was ordered to lie received to-morrow. DUTY ON COTTON. Lord ALTHORP moved that the House resolves itself into a Committee on the Excise Acts. Mr. PAT] EN took that opportunity of putting a question to the Noble Lord. In consequence of what it was supposed the Noble Lord had said in answer to a question from the Hon. Alderman opposite, a great panic had arisen among the exporters of cotton manufactures, from the idea that the drawback was to be refused on exportation. That idea had caused many of the merchants of Liverpool to withdraw their orders, and he now wished to ask the Noble Lord whether it was his intention im mediately to alter the law with respect to the drawbacks? Lord ALTHORP said that in the answer he had given to the Hon. Alderman opposite, he had confined himself to making allowances to the holders of stocks for the goods in hand. He would now, however, add that he had no intention to deprive the parties of the benefit of the draw_ hicks allowed by law until all the arrangements he pro posed were finally made. Those arrangements could not be 'completed at once, as it was necessary for him to commu nicate with the persons interested in the trade; eor, he repeated, what he had before said, that he considered this tax as clearly a commutation tax. Mr. HERRIES observed that the interests of the per sons connected with trades likely to be affected by the Noble Lord's measures, required him to come to a decision as soon as he could. Mr. HUME hoped the Noble Lord would persevere in withdrawing the duty on calicoes, and would not perse vere in imposing the duty on raw cotton.. He thought they would save this and some other duties, if they would reduce the expences of our military establishment. Sir J. GRAHAM observed, that his Majesty's Minis ters were fully convinced of the necessity of corning to a speedy decision ; but there was a difficulty in doing this, for the delicacy of the interests in question had prevented his Noble Friend from obtaining any information from per sons connected with the trade, until his measures were publicly announced, for any previous declaration of this nature might have been extremely injurious.— Since that announcement he had been attended by many of the parties interested in this question ; and after having received their statements, the Government would make up their minds as speedily as possible, and having fixed their determination, would announce it at once. After all that has been said lately about keeping faith with the public creditor, he wished to take that opportunity of saying that Ministers would take no step that would place the punctual payment of the public creditor for one mo ment in doubt. 'lhe only remaining point for him to no, tice was, the recommendation of the Hon. Member for Middlesex to reduce the military establishments of the country ; and by that means to reduce the public expen diture in such a manner as to preserve the promised re ductions in taxes. Whe❑ the estimates came before the House, the Ministers would be prepared to vindicate the grant which they would have to ask from the House, and he should be deceived if that House was found wanting in acceding to any grant that might be required for the maintenance of the honour and dignity of the country.—(Hear.) Colonel TYRRELL wished to put a question to the Noble Lord relating to the repeal of tile duty on candles. He wished to know whether the determination of Ministers was irrevocable, or whether they would consent to alter their proposition, so as to repeal the duty immediately, and not to delay it until the 10th of October. The immediate repeal would be a saving of a penny in the pound to the poor. Lord ALTHORP replied, that many representations had been made to him, particularly by the trade, against the immediate repeal of the duty ; and, upon the whole, he considered that course the best. Mr. CALCRAFT took the opportunity of stating his strong objection to the tax upon steam-boats; he thought that many preferable objects of taxation might have been found. Sir E. KNATCHBULL called the attention of the Noble Lord to the disadvantage British steam-boats con veying passengers to the continent would hereafter labour under, as compared with French steam-boats, which were untaxed. Mr. TENNANT objected to the proposed duty on the export of coals as injurious to South Wales. Mr. P. THOMSON observed, that the duty on the ex port of coals would be lower hereafter than it had been. As to the duty on steam-boats, Ministers would be most happy to avail themselves of the assistance of the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Calcraft) in finding a preferabl e substitute: they only regretted that he had placed himself in a situation which rendered it impossible for them to en joy the benefit of his great experience. Mr. HERRIES asked if the proposed duty would not, in fact, be ss. on the ordinary chaldron ? Mr. P. THOMSON answered in the affirmative. My. CALLAGHAN opposed the tax on cotton, which quoad Ireland was an increase of burdens and no relief. DUTY ON CANDLES. The House, on the motion of Lord ALTIIOItr, went into a Committee on the Excise Acts. Mr. lIERRIES reserved to himself the right of deliver ing his opinion on the whole Budget, although he would not think of detaining the House on a night when busi ness of importance could not be expected. After a few words from Mr. TENNANT and Mr. HUME, Lord ALTHORP proposed a resolution —That the duties on drawbacks on candles in Great Britain and Ire land, after the 10th of October, should cease and deter mine. His Lordship observed that lie did not think any further argument on the subject necessary. The resolution was agreed to, and the House being re sumed, it was ord e r e d th a t th e re p or t should be received to-morrow. DUTY ON COALS. On the motion of Lord ALTITORP, the House went into a Committee on the Customs Acts. Lord ALTBORP thought it equally needless to argue on the policy of repealing the duty on coals, and his first resolution was—that all duties and drawback of customs on coals, culin, cinders, and slate, should cease and determine. After a few remarks from Mr. Berries, Mr. Warburton, Mr. Curteis, Mr. Robinson, Mr. Tennant, Mr. O. Gore, and Sir T. Acland, the resolution was agreed to. Lord ALTHORP then moved his second resolution, for imposing the amount of duty on the export of coal he had stated in his speech on the Budget, amounting to ss. on the ordinary chaldron. The report was brought up, and it was ordered that it should be received to-morrow. On the motion of Mr. SPRING RICE, the House went into a Committee on the Creditors (Scotland) fill. —Report to-morrow. Mr. CURTEIS, in presenting a petition, denied that he had ever said that the tithes were not considered a burthen by the agi icultural classes.—Adjourned. A Parliamentary Paper, just published, gives an account of the number of dwellitg-houses, charged wph window duty in the year ending sth of April, 1 830, in each county of Great Britain, the total of which amount to 344,495. Of these, the number of London, 3liddlesex, and Westminster, amount, dto 89,808. The total num ber of houses charged with window duty in the city of London, was 12,086 ; in the cit✓ of Westminster, 1 2,25 5 • In the Holborn division, 12,600, and in St. Giles's, and St. Georges, Bloomsbury, 3,739. The lovers of biography will derive much gra tification from the great variety of event and anecdote cha racterising the life of FUSELI, as given in his works new 0 0 the eve of publication. That ardour, which was the dis tinguishing mark of his temperament, was evinced on many remarkable occasions in his youth, as well as during the memorable professional career which he wrought out for himself; and his early connection with LAvATEO, ROUSSEAU, and other eminent foreign individuals pre viously to his settling in this count ry , t h e scene o f his grand labours, will he found to present a theme for con templation scarcely less interesting than the period of his subsequent association with the most brilliant among the followers and favourers of art. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the .Messager des Chanthres of Feb. 15.) Lisßow, JAN. 29.—The change which has taken place in the English Consulate has been followed by a total change in the policy and relations of that Cabinet with our Government : One of the first acts of the new British Consul is a serious complaint, addressed to M. Santarem, respecting a great number of Englishmen whom the police of Don Miguel has long kept in prison, for pretended of fences against the Government of Portugal, and respecting whom Mr. Mackenzie had said nothing to his superiors. Another act of firmness of the new English agent is the open opposition which he has made to the public sale of an English merchantman, which the ships of Don Miguel have ventured to capture off Terceira, and which has been here neglected, in expectation of a purchaser. In a word, the energy with which he declares against the odious system of our Government, is an unequivocal cen sure of the policy of Don Miguel, and a manifest condem nation of the late Consul Mackenzie. It is also a conso lation for us, who expect from it a real diminution of the support which our despot preserved in England. Nothing is spoken in the offices of the Minister of War but a press, by which a corps of 30,000 men is to be raised. These troops will be sent to the garrisons of the fortresses and other military positions, on the frontier line towards Spain, whence nothing is feared. The troops actually under arms will form the garrisons of Lisbon and Oporto, and the surplus stationed on several points of the coast, and on the roads to Lisbon. Artillery has already been sent from this city to fortify these several points of de fence. Cascaez, Peniche, Nossa de Nazure, and other little places along the coast, already have the appearance of for tresses. In consequence of the indiscretions of several officers and subalterns of the corps stationed in the capital, a great many of them have been arrested and imprisoned, without resistance, as favourers of the discontent manifested by the troops. Several letters have been intercepted, and, in consequence of their contents, the Governor of the Al garves had been changed. (From the Gazette de France, dated Tuesday.) PARIS, FEB. 14.—A1l news from Italy which have been published by certain journals deserve no confidence. M. Sebastiani has himself interrogated the courier of the French legation at Rome, who was said to have pub lished this news, the principal details of which he has con tradicted in the presence of the Minister. It appears that the courier had only repeated some vague accounts which he had heard on the road from Turin to Lyons, and to which M. Paulze d'Yvoy, the Prefect of the Rhone, has given more credit than they deserved. Several members of the revolutionary propaganda had announced at Pat is, above a month ago, that there was to be an insurrection at Modena ; and that the revolt would break out in the evening of the Bth of February, in the theatre of that city. The only thing analogous to this prediction of the liberals in the news which we have re ceived from Italy is, that there have been some disturbances on the right bank of the Po, on account of the collecting of some taxes in arrear. The letters from Turin do not speak of them at present as subject to alarm. 'We are authorised to make known that the Nuncio of the Pope has received no courier besides the one who brought the news of the election of his Holiness, and that it is in nowise correct that a courier has brought, as the Constitutional announces, news of the insurrection in Romania to the Nuncio. Accounts from Warsaw, dated the 6th of February, an nounce that three Consuls have been appointed in the room of the Dictator Chlopieki, and that one of them im mediately set out for Paris to open a negotiation. The Gaze tte, in commemoration of the anniversary of the assassination of the Duke de Berri, on the 13th of February, quotes at length the report made to the Peers by Count de Bastard, and surrounds it with a black border. (From the Herald Private Correspondent.) PARIS, FEB. 14.—At length the day has arrived on which the determination of the French Government re specting the Crown offered by Belgium to the Due de Ne mours will be officially and formally communicated to the Belgic Deputies. I trust I shall be able to give you the particulars in a postscript to this letter, en attendant. I must tell you that I have just returned from the church of St. Germain l'Auxerrois, and here I witnessed a ceremony which proves at once the boldness of the Carlists and the extent of liberty enjoyed under the new regimen. Yesterday was, as you will probably recollect, the an niversary of the death of the Due de Berri, but being Sunday, the religious observance of it (long announced) was postponed to this day, when it took place i❑ the church above mentioned. It was originally intended that the ceremony (a solemn mass for the repose of the soul of the deceased) should be performed in the church of St. loch, but an order to prohibit it there was issued last night. The pious Carlists were therefore obliged to change the scene. Various circumstances had prepared me for a grand pa rade of the Bourbon ultra-partisans on this occasion, nor was I disappointed. Not only was the choir, but the en tire church, crowded by persons, principally men, of re spectable appearance, all in deep mourning. Mass was celebrated by a venerable Cure, the same who, in the dis guise of a gen- d'arme, penetrated into the cell of the unfor tunate Marie Antoinette, the night before her execution, and there administered to her the Sacrament. A collection for the poor took place after mass, and pro duced a very large sum. All present contributed, and principally in gold. So far all was laudable perhaps ; but I have reason to suspect that display was one of the objects of the pious mourners, among whom the Duke de Mouchy was pro minent. I have still stronger reasons for believing that (will you credit it?) the reinstatement of the exiled Bour bons on the throne of France, within six months, is treated as a certainty by the Carlists. It is due to the Archbishop of Paris to state that he did not refuse to permit a mass for the soul of the brave Kosciusko to be performed in any of the churches of Paris; he only interdicted—and at the request of Govern ment—the intended collection after mass in aid of the re volted Poles.

THE NORTHERN AGRIPPINA.—It was some time since announced in the papers that a female monster had, after years of investigation into her crimes before the criminal court at Bremen, been condemned to lose her head. A correspondent in that town observes " that her case presents the most unprecedented riddle on record. Though the offender stands accused with the poisoning of both her parents, three children, one brother, two husbands, one suitor, two pregnant women, friends male and female, helpless children, and domestic com panions ; though accused of adultery, false-witnessing, perjury, theft, calumny, and swindling, she seems endued with a singular mildness of temper, appears to possess a decided inclination to kind and benevolent acts, and be trays outward susceptibility for what is noble and ge nerous."

We have just received by express the Messager des Chambres and Gazette de France of yesterday, and the entire of the Paris Papers of Tuesday, together with a letter from our Private Correspondent. (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) PARIS, FEB. 15.-1 wrote you yesterday a few lines, describing briefly the religious ceremony performed at the Church of St. Germain l'Auxerrois, in memory of the Due de Berry, and I gave, in a postscript, a short extract from the second edition of La Revolution, stating " the inauguration of the bust of the Duo de Bordeaux," and the tumult to which it gave rise; but that which subse quently occurred was of a much more serious character. When I left the church the ceremony had terminated, and the quete (collection) was proceeding towards its close. All was then quiet, but the air of triumph worn by the majority of the men, and nearly the entire of the women present, was sufficient to prepare an experienced observer for a scene. As usual at all similar ceremonies for deceased persons of distinction, a splendid catafalque was fitted up i❑ the choir. It bore, when I saw it, the usual funeral emblem, but I did not remark either white flags or a bust—now said to have been upon it through out the day. The bust, it appears, was that of the Due de Bordeaux. For the events, of which I was not an eye-witness, I refer you to the following extracts from Galignani's Messenger and the Journal des Debats of this day r— . . " Yesterday morning, at eleven o'clock, about 200 per sons wait to the church of St. Germain l'Auxerrois, to attend a commemoration service performed for the late Duke of Berry. The rector of the parish officiated. In the middle of the choir was raised a catafalque, without ornaments. An officer, who wore the insignia of several orders, took from his coat the Cross of the Order of St. Louis, and attached it to the pall, as did another officer his Cross of the Legion of Honour. The catafalque was surmounted by a bust of the Duke of Bordeaux, which had been consecrated, and at the four corners were white flags. After the service, at the moment when the atten dants sprinkled holy water upon the pall, two crowns of inonortelles were placed upon it. Among the persons present were a pupil of the School of St. Cyr, in uni form, and three National Guards, one of whom was a truss-maker, named Valerius, residing in the rue du Ccq. A rumour having got abroad that the bust of the Duke of Bordeaux had been crowned under the title of Henry V., a crowd proceeded to the church, and a disturbance being apprehended, the National Guards on duty at bead-quar ters hastened to the spot, and the persons who had caused the service to be celebrated being still in the vestry, a Com missary of Police was sent for. He entered the vestry, and found the bust in the hands of Madame Valerius, who had gone round to make a collection for the poor, to which the Duchess of Berry had sent 500 f. M. Ardel, a shoemaker, living in the rue de Grenelle St. Honore, attempted to seize it, but Valerius took it from his wife, and it disappeared. By order of the Commissary, the three Na tional Guards were arrested, and conducted to his office. Upon his examination, Valerius declared that Henry V. was his Sovereign, and his wife exclaimed, " We must not surrender, but must conquer or die." This occurrence made some noise in the quarter ; strong patroles were set on foot, and, at half-past three o'clock, three other persons were apprehended and taken before the Commissary of Police. The crowd from this time gradually augmented in the Place Saint Germain l'Auxerrois, and the windows of the house of the Rector having been broken, the drums at five o'clock beat to arms in all quarters of Paris, and the whole body of the National Guards were soon on foot. An intention was expressed of demolishing the church, and a party actually mounted on the roof, and threw down the cross, ornamented with fleurs-de lis, and some of the stone-work. Several thousand men of the National Guards, besides a regiment of the Line, and a detachment of the Municipal Horse-Guards were stationed in front of the church and in the environs of the Louvre, who hin dered all approach to commit further mischief, and the in habitants of the neighbourhood placed lights at their win dows to prevent confusion. A part of the crowd then proceeded to the palace of the Archbishop of Paris, asd it is said that it was forced and pil laged; but a strong force of National Guards being drawn up round the church of Notre Dame and the palace, and all approach being forbidden, we were unable to ascertain the extent of the damage. A vast multitude still continued in the vicinity of the church of St. Germain l'Auxerrois, the Rector of which bad fled. An individual, armed with a pair of pistols, who at tempted to harangue the people, was seized, his clothes torn off his back, and he was thrown over the parapet into the quay, and, hut for the interference of the Na tional Guards, would probably have been massacred. A party went to the house of Valerius, with the intention of sacking it, but were prevented by the National Guards, who, stationed at the extremities of the Rue du Coq, al lowed no one to pass. A project was formed to make an attack upon the church of St. Sulpice, but means were taken to thwart it by a body of National Guards being stationed in the vicinity. By midnight the crowds were completely dispersed, but the National Guards continued on duty, and strong patroles paraded the streets of the capital during the whole of the night.— Galignani's Mes senger. At eleven o'clock last night a mob of about fifty persons proceeded to the hotel of M. Dupin, uttering alarming cties and vociferations. Several ill-dressed men forced their way into the court, with shouts of " A bas Dupin! —Dupin ala lauterne I" They were kept from acts of violence for some time by the inmates of the house, till the National Guards from a neighbouring post came up and dispersed them. O❑ retiring they sang the Pori sienne, and threatened to return. (From the Journal des Debats of Tuesday.) The newspapers, notoriously the organs of the party of absolute power, had loudly, during last week, and with an insulting affectation, reminded their adherents of the anniversary of the death of the Duke of Berry, and con vened them for a funeral service to be performed to-day. The ceremony was to have taken place at the church of St. Roch. If those who get it up wished to create dis turbance and scandal, they could not have selected a bet ter time or place. During the Carnival the street of St. Honore is well known to be the rendezvous of the actors of the burlesque scenes of this season, and which, of course, attract a vast concourse of spectators to that spot. The Government, put upon its guard by the indiscretion of the instigators of the plot, ordered the parish priest of St. Roch not to perform the service, with which order he complied. The Gazette de France of Sunday announced that the ceremony being countermanded at St. loch, would take place at St. Germain l'Auxerrois. Several morning papers repeated the advertisement. The Quotidienne, without mentioning a word about the change, merely stated that the ceremony had been forbidden, and made some outrageous observations on the subject ; adding, that the Duchess of Berry had sent 500 francs to the collection which was to be made on the occasion. The other facts resulting from this affair will be found in the extracts from Galignani's Messenger. Thus far the newspapers. I had only just closed my letter of yesterday when the drums of the National Guards commenced the rappel in every quarter of Paris. I went accordingly to the Place du Louvre, and moved among the groups and heard much more than the journalists publish, or will publish. For some time past it has been the fashion with the people of all classes here to remark upon that which they call the " timidity" and even " weakness" of the Government. They date their ob servations so far back as the morning of the 30th July last. They refer to the discountenancing, even then, of every thing tending to recal the republic and the empire. .‘ The Charte was crammed down every man's throat," say the public. "No matter—we h ave f ree d om, an d will not suffer it to be limited"--a disposition t o d o w hi c h they ascribe has been,ibetotheas King it ape r and his Ministers.e, guilty T y lie of 5 0 Go vernment s to me, indiscretions, which the discontented recapitulate in sup port of that imputation. " They attempted," say the public, " by a side wind, to save the lives of the Ex-Mi.• nisters ; but were obliged to abandon that intention and proceed at once to their object. That having been at tained, they lost not twenty-four hours in rewarding with ingratitude him by whose agency only they could have ar rived at it." (I would not say this refers to the dismissal of Lafayette.) " The fleurs-de-lis were carefully preserved in the royal arms, instead of being removed, together with every other thing calculated to remind the people that Louis Philippe was a Bourbon." Royalists—notorious Carlists—have been kept iu office and promoted, to the exclusion of Liberals, from a weak idea that they would be conciliated." " Orders were issued to prevent poor fellows who, from being unable to afford to buy hats, were obliged to wear casquettes (caps), front entering the gardens of the Tuileries—the very men who forced an en trance into them on the 29th July, in spite of the cannon of the ex-Garde, the bayonets of the Swiss, the sabres of the Grenadiers a Cheval, and the pikes of the Lancers."
