At that h ou r hi s L or d s hip i °lc his seat oa the Woolsack, and proceeded with the public business. Lord TENTERDEN moved the second reading of the Limitation of Prescription Bill. The Bi s h op of BRISTOL complained of a clause which 4.,e thought wou l d affect the rights and privileges of the Church. From the known consistency of the Noble a nd Le arne d Lord, and his known attachment to the C i hal- Ch, he (th e Bi s h op o f B r i sto l) f e l t assure d that circumstance needed only to be presented to the mind of the Noble and Learned Lord to insure its due con sideration.

As for himself, he had "° inclination to do any thing inacceptable to the Church, "coot under a sense of public duty. - T he Bill was then read a second time, and ord e r e d t o to b e on Thursday. fo Lard MELBOURNE rose in order to introduce a Bill r allowin g the use of spring-guns and man-traps in certaintio Places, and for the protection of certain descrip th" °I property.

When he presented the petition of Deacle, it was charged to him by a powerful I,,nation that he had it in his pocket three or four weeks fore he presented it, which was not the fact, for he only f o j l° it on th e Thursday, an d h e p resen t e d it on the V/ 44 Wi t'g Monday.

The Hon. M em b er ' ;°Eftaur a hi g h c h a racter for strict imparti attsy prof legal knowledge, and indefatigable (l ad assured the House that the interests of the • public, as well as individual interests, were concerned in the settlement of this question. The question was brought before the House in coNequence of a controversy which had for the laSt thirty years subsisted between the Lord High Chancellor and the Master of the Rolls in Ireland, relative to the appointment of a secretary to the latter. The Master of the Rolls in Ireland had a separate and in dependent, though subordinate jurisdiction, and every ore connected, or at all acquainted with him, knew extremely well the great convenience, if not absolute necessity to the comfort of the Judge, if nut to the interests of justice, that he should have in his own power the nomination and appointment of his con fidential secretary. The patent, however, under which the Master of the Rolls in Ireland held his office, gave it to him to hold and enjoy in the same manner as the Master of the Rolls in England enjoyed his, who every one knew had the power and exercised it of appointing his secretary. In 1827 Sir Anthony Hart was appointed Lord Chancel lor of Ireland, and he, as his predecessor had done, persevered in his right to appoint the secretary of the Master of the Rolls. The Master finding mat ters thus circumstanced, for the purpose of try ing the right of the Lord Chancellor, appointed the present Recorder of Dublin (Mr. Shaw) to the office of his secretary, the House would therefore perceive that in that appointment there Wifi no eye to the emoluments, and an action was then brought for the purpos e of recovering the fees belonging to that office. Sir Anthony Hart then issued a similar order to the cre promul gated by Mr. Ponsonby, namely, that no order should be received unless signed by the secretary of the Lord Chancellor, thus effectually putting it out of the power of the Master of the Rolls to apply to any other tribunal fur redress than the Chancellor himself. Mr. Shaw petitioned the Lord Chancellor on the suhj ct, who, h lying heard the subject discussed for three or four days, de cided that the Master of the Rolls had no authority whatever to appoint his own secretary. It then became a question with the Master of the Rolls in what manner be should seek redress ; search was made fur precedents, but none were disc overed, and no alternative was then left him but to apply to the House. Lord Plunkett, on his appointment to the seals in Ireland, took the course pursued by Sir A. Hart: that being the case, the Master of the Rolls had determined upon presenting the present pe tition, which prayed that an Act might be passed which would remove the barriers which now existed to the deter- mination of the question. Mr. CRAMPTON (Solicitor-General for Ireland) did not mean to oppose the reading of the present peti tion, nor controvert any of the statements made, or argue any of the questions of law that had been raised, as this was not the time fur them ; but he thought it his duty not to suffer the petition to pass without making a few observations, in order to prevent misconception. He quite agreed that the petition was entitled to great con sideration from the House, coining from the high authority it did ; but, though he would pay the greatest attention and respect to the opinion of the Master of the Rolls of Ireland, he could not but think, and in that he had no doubt the House would go along with him, that that opinion in the present instance was pregnant with personal feeling, and could net be there fore taken in the light of a iudicial one. Still, how ever, he could not go along with the Honourable Member who had presented the petition, in thinking that the patient question was free from all doubt or difficulty. He admitted the antiquity of the office of Master of the Rolls in Ireland ; but on the other hand, it was to be ob served, that up to the beginning of the reign of George the Third such a person as Secretary of the Master of the Roll, distinct from the Secretary of the Lord Chance•lor, had never been heard of ; and the first time that a claim to that effect was trade by the Master of the Rolls, who, at that time was Mr. Curran, the demand was immediately repudiated and put down by the Lord Chancellor Pon sonby ; and another point that particularly weighed upon Sir Anthony Hart's attention was, that when a return of t'ie fees of his office was required from Sir W. M'illithon, in IS2 1, be made no mention whatever of a separate secretary of his own, or of his fees. With respect to Lord Plunkett, he wood not take on himself to say what would be his decision on the case, should it come before his notice; but at ad events he might remark, that the Laid Chancellor had no power of his own to reverse the decision, till it was legally brought before him by one of the parties in the shape of a reheari. g; and that had not been done; so that, at present, of course, the two previous judicial orders of Lord Ponsonby and Sir A. Hart remained as they did. With respect to arbitration, he thought it would be highly indecorous to refer the decisions of those who had been the highest law authorities of the country to a subsequent arbitration. As the question now stood, lie thought that the only way of carrying it further would be by a distinct legislative enactment; for he did not see how Lord Plunkett could with any decency take on himself to reverse the decrees of two of his predecessors on this subject. Mr. O'CONNELL said the whole question was simp'y this :—The Master of the Rolls claimed a privilege which the Lord Chancellor denied ; then if this was the case, why was it not tried at law, and so settled ?—( Hear, bear.) Because the Lord Chancellor, by his order, put a veto upon it. Now, surely that was not a right slate of things—(Hear, hear, hear !)—and yet that, if they talked for ever, was the whole state of the case. Having investi gated this question in his judicial capacity as a Member for Parliament, he was bound to say, that in his own mind he had not the slightest doubt that the Master of the Rolls possessed the right which he claimed.—(Hear, hear.) He admitted that the Master of the Rolls had acted in judiciously in suffering his right to lie dormant for so many years; but that was account,,d for in the petition on the score of del cacy ; and though a man's dwy—and this was one—ought not to have been sacrificed to motives of delicacy, still it was a feeling that demanded respect. He thought that the Hon. and Learne,t Gentleman (Mr. Crampton,) in admitting that the Master of the Rolls office was one of prescription, had admitted the whole of his case. Mr. KNIGHT thought that the question of the Master of the Rolls' right on this point hardly admitted of a doubt ; and he said this after having looked into all the papers on the subject. The question was one of im portance to the public, because the attendance of the Lord Chancellor's Secretary, or his deputy in the Rohs Court being very irregular, it frequently happened that the Court was actually standing still. He trusted, there fore, that tie House would consider this as as a case which called for the interference of the House. Mr. C. FERGUSSON supported the prayer of the petition. Sir R. PEEL thought that the House was agreed as to the fact that the Maser of the Rolls ought to be allowed to try the right. The Master of the Rolls did not ask the House to give any opinion on his right, but only that Le might he able to try it. Mr. Serjeant WILDE expressed his regret at these differences among the Law Officers in Ireland, and ex pressed a hope that they would both agree in settling it. He thought the Master of the Rolls was perfectly right in coining before the House. Mr. LEFROY also supported the petition. Sir C. WETHERELL thought the case might be put into a train of legal investigation and decisio❑ without the interference of the flow,. Mr. JOHN CAMPBELL hoped that the Lord Chan cellor of Ireland would yield the point withcat carrying the ease to trial. Mr. SHAW enter, d into a brief history of the office of the Master of the Rolls, and contended for the right of that officer to appoint his own Secretary. The petition was then litid on the table, and ordered to he printed. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. On the motion of Mr. RICE, it was ordered that the House at it rising do adjourn till Monday. PUBLIC WORKS (IRELAND.) The House then went into a Committee on the Public Works' (Ireland) Bill. Mr. GOULBURN complained that the improvements promised by the Government were neither more nor less than the turning out one set of Commissioners to make way for another. He thought that the claims of a man like Mi. Payne, whose abilities were acknowledged, and who had been thirty-three years a servant of the public, should not be passed over ; and he moved, therefore, that the word " three" in clause 5, should be left our, for the purpose of substituting " three of the present," meaning Cute mis , ioners of Inland Navigation. Mr. RICE defended the conduct of the Government, and observed, that the men they bad selected were the most skilful and compet,nt. One of them gave up in the Engineer Department greater emoluments than he would now receive; the other, Mr. Radcliffe, was one of the old Commissioners, and appointed by the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Goulburn) himself; and the nomination of the third would save a retiring pension. Mr. STANLEY defended the Irish Government from the charge of pat tiality or favouritism in the appointments its question, and to Intained that those appointments, as respected the activity and intelligence of the parties to be appointed, were highly creditable. - Mr. G. DAWSON contended that if there were no par tiality or favouritism in the case, individualii, one of whom ban be, n thirty .three years, and the other sixteen in their situation, would not b e d e prived of an o ffi ce , the duties of which they had discharged with so much intelligence mid fidelity. Mr. HUME opposed the 1, but not on the grounds alleged by tho Hon. Gentlemen under him. He did not attribute to his Majesty's Ministers any partiality or fa vouritism. God knew, anything but that. It was the conversation in every place, on every day, that his Majesty's Alinister% were mote incapable of distinguishing between their friends and their enemies, than any men who h ever sat on the Treasury benched; and it would be a miracle if they could carry on the great measure which they bad undertaken against the exertions making in hos tility to it by official men.• Why, there were the r ecent _ . . - occurrences at the Dublin election. If he had been ii: the situation of his Majesty's Ministers he would have removed half the persons in office who had opposed them on that occasion. He hoped they would not continu e to be so weak as to be advised by their encodes ; but that they would rally round their friends. He was •rte out in these observations by everything that oc curred. The majority of the Lord Lieutenants at the heal of counties were opposed to his M jesty's present Ministers--[Some Hon. Member exclaimed—•• That's in the Morning Chronicle!"] To be sure; it was in the Morning Chronicle. He wished his M.josty's Ministers would take a leaf out of the Morning Chronicle. They would consult the feelings and advantage of the country I.y doing so. He repeated that his Majesty's present Go vernment hail acted with more partiality towards thos e politically opposi-d to them than any Government that ltd ever preceded them. It wis not, therefore, on the ground of that political partiality of Ministers that he op posed the Bill. He opposed it because tte appointment of the Board under the Bill appeared to him to be a great waste of the public money. He wished to have the advances for public works for England, Ireland, and Scot laud, all under the disposal of the unpaid Commissioners of London. Those Commissioners had disposed of 3,285,000/., with no expence to the count'' , but the trifling one of clerks and house-rent. Why not place at their disposal the 500,0001 for Ireland? Why have a local Board ? If it were necessary to employ en 4ineers in Iceland, let them be employed under the Board settled in London. Sir J. NEWPORT had always objected to the Board of Ireland Navigation, for in fact the Commissioners had nothing to do but receive their salaries. Mr. GRATTAN would have liked the Bill better, if none of the men who were employed before, and had done nothing, were placed upon the new Board. Mr.LYTTLETO/s! did not doubt that men might be found in Ireland, who would ably and conscientiously dis charge the duties of Commissioners, and he considered the Under Secretary, in diminishing the number of Commis sioners, had consulted the benefit of the public. Mr. JEPHSON thought that the system of Commis sioners, as proposed by the Bill, was cumbersome, and the money would not be distributed by them in places where it was most wanted. Tile amendment was then negatived without a division, and the clause agreed -to. On the suggestion of Mr. DAwsos, the oath in clause 12 was omitted. On the questio❑ of the 24th clause, Mr. HUME objected to the clause, as it gave a power to the Grand Jury to mortgage the revenues of the county — a power which he considered of a most dangerous kind, and which he thought would only lead to corruption anti abuse. Mr. DAWSON, on the contrary, was of opinion that this clause was the best part of the Bill, and would be found to he productive of the greatest advantages. Mr. JEPHSON agreed with the Hon. Member for Middlesex, that this was a tncst dangerous power with which to entrust Grand Juries. It would enable Grand Juries to enter upon expensive public works, with the bur den of which the public would afterwards be saddled, per haps most inconsiderately. Mr. O'CONNELL said that the whole of this Bill was but trifling with Ireland ; it was but a species of quack medicine for her evils. tie insisted that the clause now under consideration threw in the way of Grand Juries a temptation to create places for themselves and their friends. BROWNLOW should support the clause, which he thought would he productive of benefit to Ire►and, a+ it would enable the Grand Juries to make good roads there— on advantage that could ❑ot fail to increase the prosperity cf the cotpary. Sir H. BATESON should support the clause, though he admitted that it might give great facilities for corrup tion. He trusted, however, they would not be taken ad vantage of. He did not think that a great number of roads was an advantage to a country, because it compelled the Grand Jury to keep them up. Mr. GRATTAN should oppose the clause, bccause he thought it would work mischief. The Grand .lury pre sentments had been doubled within these twenty-five years, and he was sorry to say that it was only necessary to ask fur a supply, and to have it granted. The t ffect of this clause was to impose a tax upon the occupier of the land, and it mightoften beimposed without proper consideration. Mr. SHEIL said, that all the objections which were nude to this clause might as well be made to the whole of the Grand Jury system. He did not expect the clause would operate injuriously, because it was so guarded with provisions. He thought, indeed, that this clause was the most salutary part of the Bill. Mr. HUME objected on principle to vesting Grand Juries, or any other body of men, with the power of mortgaging the revenues of a country, and entering on works which were to be paid by those who came after them. He should propose to strike he clause our altogether. After a few words from Mr. S. RicEand Mr. RUTHVEN, Mr. D. W. HARVEY said, that the whole of the argu ments against this el tuse seerued to proceed on the assump tion that the Grand Juries had no interest in the soil which was to bear the burden, but were only interested in the misapplication of the money to be raised from it. Now, he thought that assumption unfound , d, and believed, that if it were not, this clause was sufficiently guarded to pre vent such consequences. Mr. HUME, after what he had heard from several Members, would not press his amendment to strike out the whole of the clause, but would move another amendment, to the effect that the money borrowed should be paid in five, instead of in ten years. He moved an amendment ace , rdingly. Mr. DAWSON could nut hear these observations about Grand Juries without protesting against them. He denied that they were justly chargeable with jobbing. Mr. CALLAGHAN was very sorry that the Hon. Member for Middlesex had withdrawn his first amend ment. The clause was one to which he (Mr. Callaghan) most strongly objected. as he thought it would be pro ductive of great extravagance in the county expenditure. Mr. Moue o'l , s:afraid., Mr. Wyse, and Mr. LEFROY thought that some change in the Grand Jury Laws was necessary. . - Sir R. PEEL opposed the clause, end expressed his concutrence in the view of the subject taken by the Hon. Alember for Middlesex. He eared that the money would be misapplied under the irresponsibility of Grand Juries. If the Grand Jury Laws were to he amended, it might he better to postpone this measure until after that object had been accomplished. This tinkering of the subject be highly disapproved, for in mending one hole commonly others were made. He was, at the saute time, unwilling to resist the progress of a pla❑ which kid even the semblance of improvement for Ireland, and he would rather apply the 500,0004 to the benefit of Ireland than in England, be cause in Ireland it was more needed. Mr. STANLEY observed, that a Bill had been com pletely prepared, and was ready to be submitted to the House on the first opportunity, for amending the Grand Jury Laws upon the two great points of responsibility and publicity. He supported the clause because it was spe cially guarded, and could not he made the instrument of abuse. Mr. S. Rice, Mr. Shaw, Mr. Callaghan, and Mr. Blaukney, each said a few words explanatory of the mode i❑ which the Grand Jury Laws worked in Ireland. Mr. SIIEIL said, that the taking away of that clause would destroy all the good of the Bill. Sir R. PEEL was of the same opinion, that the re moval of the clause would render the Bill nugatory. If the alternative were offered to him, to retain or to reject the clause, be should certainly retain it. But he thought it would be an improvement to the clause to substitute five years for ten. Mr. JEPHSON hoped that the Hon. Member for Cork Would not press his motion. Mr. CALLAGHAN withdrew his amendment. The House then divided upon Mr. Home's amendment. For the amendment Against it Majority for the original clause —tl9 Immediately a ter the re-admission of strangers to the gantry, the House again divided—as we understood— upon the amount of interest payable upon the loans to be made under the Bill. The original motion was agreed to : the Members being 81 to 13—majority, 3S. Th e other dames were then agreed to. The House resumed, and the report was ordered to Le received on Wednesday next. WATERLOO BRIDGE NEW STREET. The Waterloo Midge New Street Bill was read a third tim e and passed. Tlie other Orders were then disposed of, and the House adjz,urned at a Quarter past Two o'clock till Monday. Despatches were forwarded to Berlin till night before last from the Prussian Embassy.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE. LONDON MARKETS. (Front the London New Price Current of yesterday.) SUGAR.—The demand for Muscovades this week has been steady ; the estimated sales are 2,71 , 0 bhrts and tierces ; no gene ral reduction in the:prices can be noted, yet the holders have, in s,veral instances, given way where the buyers would take off 1 irge parcels; there is now rather a better appearance, as the holders refuse to submit to any further reduction, and of course refuse to sell at the prices offered. 'There is now some appearance of the Refined Market having touched the lowest point; the buyers cannot purchase low goods on such favourable terms as formerly, and the NA holesale grocers have been buying fine goods, which are also a shade higher. Of low large Lumps a few sales have been made this afternoon at Gls., and there are still buyers at those rates,but v ry few parcels can now be obtained; the fine descriptions, entitled to the bounty on double refined, are still ne glected, and consequently have become very plentiful, and the prices of the few parcels disposed of this week have barely sup.. po:tial the quotations; in crashed scarcely any thing has been done, but a few offers of 30s. have been wade for the fine de.. scriptions, for which 31s. is demanded. The fine grocery quali ties also are rather lower. EAST INDIA SUGARS.—There were no public sales of Mauritius Sugars till this afternoon ; the purchases by private contract since Friday are quite inconsiderable. The Manilla Sugars by public sale, above 4,000 bags sold, the good at former prices, the soft Is. lower. A small parcel of China Sugars sold also at a small reduction. This day at public sale 5,699 bags Mauritius Sugars ; the holders refused to sell, except at very iirm prices ; the consequence is that a small part was taken in, and the low descriptions, lately so much depressed, sold at td. to Is. per cwt. higher ; the good also at an improvement. FOREIGN SUGARS.—About A RS.—About 1,0( 0 boxes fine white Ha vannah have been sold by private contract, averaging about (3d. ; a small parcel middling and good white at public sale went off at 325. a Ms. 6d. ; there are still extensive inquiries and oilers for both white and yellow Havannah, particularly the latter. Brazil Sugars are neglected • the only sales are a few brown and grey Bahia, 15s. 6d. a 21./s. 6d. ; tine Pernams 2.75. This day's public sales, 82 b oxes white Havannah sold 32e. a als. 6d., former prices ; 158 chests 87 bales Brazil Sugars were all taken in. WEST INDIA MOLASSES.--It is understood the Commit. tee of the House of Commons report against West India Mo lasses being used in the distilleries and breweries. COFFE E.—The public sales of British Plantation Coffee have gone off briskly this week, and he pris are again 2s. a 4s. higher. In Fort eign or East India there is little ce variation, ordinary Brazil in parcels 455. 6d. and 465. The other sales are very low mixed Batavia 40s. a 415., good at 455. ; Sumatra 3fis. a 395., good 41s. ; St. Domingo 465. a 475. This day's public sales 18 casks British Plantation, 9: 6 casks Brazil ; the latter sold a shadejower, 43s a 465. ; 7Y9 bales Mocha, nearly all withdrawn. The Foreign and East India are at the quotations of Friday last; the Jamaica and other British Plantations are, as we have stated, 2s. a 4 s . hi g h er; Jamaica triage 6.35. a 655., good ordinary 68s. ; the tine ordinary and fine tine ordinary and low middling are again the cheapest Coffees in this Market. RUM, BRANDY. and HOLLANDS.—The Spirit Market continues very dull ; a sale of Jamaica Rum went ()Mat low prices, 2s. 3d. a 2s. 4d. ; Leewards I over at Is. sd. In Brandy there are few sales ; the best marks offer 4s. 4d. a 4s. 5d.; Geneva at 2c 4d. HEMP, FLAX,.and'TALLOW.,—There are large purchasessof Tallow made in this market for Holland and Belgium ;lit is also re ported that the extensive speculators are again buying, the con sequence-was a firm market ; the nearest price is 395., both fiir parcels on the spot, and for arrival ; but this evening the market is again dull, and a shade lower. Hemp and Flax are little va ried. This day's sale of Cape of Good Hope allow 375. Pd. a 38s. casks ; 38s. a 355. 3d. skins. IRISH 'PROVISIONS.--Since our last we have had an arri val of about 5,000 casks of foreign Butter, and 5,000 firkins of Irish, with 750 bales of Bacon. We cannot note any alteration in the price of Foreign Butter at the quay, but for Irish a re duction in price, for some descriptions, of la. a 2s. per cwt. has been submitted to. For old Bacon there is a very limited sale ; new singed Waterford is offering at 465. on board for next month's, and at 4-ts. for the fo lowing month's shipment. The Government provision contract prices are, we believe, about CI. 2s. fid. for Navy Pork and 51. Os. 4d. for Navy Beet We have not heard of any sales of new provisions to the trade being as ) et effected. OILS.-'There is much interest excited respecting the late season of the Davis' Straits Fishery; no accounts are, et received, and in favourable seasons for fishing we have generally intelli gence by the Ist of September.

The Committee gladly rendered homage ti, e Chamber t othe that glory the K of Napoleon, g so in orde r in g th e statue of the late Emperor to be replaced o n t h e co l umn; b ut cons id ere d. t h at t h e himse himself had alr do se and remind e d irrerests of public peace and tranquillity requited that this petition should be disposed of in a similar manner to that presented for the same purpose last session; and therefore proposed that the Cha'nber should pass to the order of the day.

Member was prevented from attending by ill-health, and requested permission to read his opinion, which ss as instantly and unanimously granted. The die esurse read by M. de Las Cases expressed the fer vent desire to render to the memory of the hero who had raised the glory of France to the skies, a signal and unequivocal homage. Napoleon has been accused (continued M. de Las Cases) of having de stroyed the liberties of France—their preservation was his dearest wish. A fellow-exile in St. Helena repeats the assurance, which he received from the hero's own lips. - The Hon. Member then alluded to the populari , y of k\apo!e nu its France, which he stated would he still more fervent in pos' erity ; and, after expressing lie intention of calling at some future time fur a repeal of the law denouncing the penalty of death eganst any member of the Bones parte family who should retern to France, con cluded by opposing the proposition of the Com mittee, and c..lling on the Chamber to refer the pe tition to the Council of Ministers. Messrs. Leveque, de Pouilly, and Leyvraud, sup oorted the proposition - of 'the Committee; and M. C tulmann that of M. de Las Cases. General Lamarque said, that the prayer of the petitioner was that of the immense majority of France. That Napoleon was the friend of civiliza tion is evident horn the works he commended, the reads, the monuments, the canals which bear in,.. mortal testimony to his anxiety for the prosperity of his subjects. Napoleon, instead of the destroyer, was the saviour of the liberties of France. Had the troops of the Directory been conquered, France a ould have sunk beneath the iron yoke of a despot and it was the recollection of the victories of Na poleon, the wholesome fear inspired by the fields of Austerlitz and Marengo, which engendered the for bearance of Prussia and Austria, and originwed the constitutional character of Louis XVIII. The thirst for universal conquest has also been attributed to Napoleon. The present state of Europe, one me rnent's glance at the consternation of England at the entrance of the French troops into Belgium, will prove that Great Britain would never have consented to a permanent peace with him, who, by his for t tications and arsenals, had rendered Antwerp the Coathatn of the Scheldt. The late dynasty pro scribed the image of Napoleon, but the Government sprung from the revolution of July has a nobler feeling_ Founded on the people's love (continued the Hors, Deputy), it fears the shock of no external attacks; and with equal tranquillity can well afford to allow the son of Napoleon to offer the tribute of his tears on the tomb of his father, and the descendant of the exile of Holy-rood to wander through the forests in which his grandfather enjoyed the pleasures of the chase. Nothing, therefore, cart oppose, with any show of reason, the prayer of the petition, and France owes it to herself to call on England to give up the possession of those relics, which can only recall the remembrance of a violation of the most sacred rights of hospitality, and the eternal disgrace of the British Governmenr,—(This discourse elicited much approbation.) Messrs. Comte and ale Lameth then supported the proposition of the Committee, and Messrs. Bri queville, Larabit, and Fiot, supported the reference of the petition to the Council of Ministers. General Bertrand argued that the national honour required that the prayer of the petition sbould be granted. Under the late dynasty, M. de Villrle, ors a similar application being made to him, replied, " When the Government canton allow the remains- of Manuel to be carried through the streets of Paris, without apprehending a popular commotion, how can it be expected that the removal of those of Napoleon can be sanctioned ?" But circumstances are now altered, and while by referring the petition, to the Council of Ministers, the Chamber satisfies those who wish the maintenance of the nationall glory, it at the same time leaves the question of ex pediency to the decision of Government. The petition was then referred to the Council of Ministers by an immense majority, not above twenty tnernbers having risen in favour of the proposition oC 'he Committee, • (From the Ce.orrier Francais.) The petition for the removal of the remains of Napoleon to the Place Vendome excited a great sen sation in the Ch am b er . Th ere are two manners of contemplating the character of Napoleon, the greatest; in modern times. By the vigour of his administra tion he destroyed anarchy; he raised the monumene of the civil code, so beautiful from its simplicity; he carried the glory of the French name to the hem,- nig sands of the Tagus and the Nile, to the Innen banks of the Niemen 1, he was the most extreordi nary man of his age, and the most popular Monarch who ever reigned in France, not even excepting Henry IV. A for there is not throughout the country a cottage, a workshop, a corner of land, in which his name is not known, repeated, s a id glorified. It must be added, that he had a sites re aff, , ction for Fiance,. arid preferred abdicating to ceiling an inch of our ancient territory. He carried his truly French heart: t o a grear height. His prodigious reverses socceetP ing his brilliant success--his exile tin an ocean rock —the tortures which his gaolers indicted on hires-.. , he fidelity_of his friends—the resignation and dig nity of his last tnomenrs, have deeply offected ti•.ose imagieations which delight neither in perpetual pros perity nor perpetual failure, but are nourished rUnly by he grandeur utid eclat of contrast. This is Ode br.ght side of the picture; but it must also be admitted' that the insatiable ambition of Napoleon was ecprul'ky indomitable and boundless. Ile stifle,' liberty in the embrace of glory ; he decreed the barbarities of the penal code; he enslaved the press, enchained the independence of the legislative body and the senate, supported the system of a monopoly in education, decimated the population by the systematic strokes of the conscription, and drew on France the shame arid scourge of a foreign invasion, which swallowed up our blood, our treasures, and our preponderanc e . This is the dark side. Actuated by these oppoaite views, the Deputies regarded the proposition with different feelings. A very few saw in Napoleon only the despot, the destroyer of public liberty, the ra vager of other nations, and the scourge of his osNR— The great majority, on the contrary, contemplated, nim only as the great Captain, the man of gellitlia die hew of the age—in fact, Napoleon. The re. mains of the old constituent assembly, Messrs. Baudet-Lafarge, Lafayette, de Grammont, and de Latrieth, never liked 'Napoleon, and therefore voted against the proposition; Generals Lamarque ar d Simmer, on the contrary, with all the warlike cote .art of the Chamber, raised a hymn of glory to the me .nes of their hero: while Bertrand, the faithful com panion of his exile and Riitfortunes, proclaim, d his praises with it noble and touching simplicity. It is, however, very doubtful whether Govethment wit/ be .shle to induce England to allow the eximmati*s , of Napoleon. It is a funereal trophy for Great : Bri tain.
