The debate on the address was resumed. M. Chanuis de Montlaville rose and explained an ex- Renee d'Ecnagne_ Five ner Cents._ 1/4 1 ,4, V_ M. Garnier Pages rose to address the Chamber.— (Marks of curiosity.)—He began by acknowledging that the project of address proposed to them was not made up of those common places usually employed in these sort of declamations; nevertheless, with the exception of this innovation, the address appeared to him very insignifi cant ; it appeared to him framed merely with a view to render the elections favourable to the majority of the Chamber in the ensuing elections, but he felt confident that the system of the present Ministry would be stigma tized by the electoral body. The Hon. Deputy said he had witnessed with regret the attack made upon M. Persil yesterday. M. Persil could not have acted other wise than be did. Being appointed by a Government of violence, he must necessarily act with violence.—(Laugh-, ter from the centre.) A state of frightful disorder is seen on every side.—(Oh, oh !) lam not a friend to popular tumults, nor coalitions of which violence is one of the means. I seize the opportunity of saying this, in order that the working classes may know my opinion upon that subject. Means such as these can lead to no good result. What the people want is their rights ; a real representation will make known their wants and %heir interests,—(Oh !) M. Chapuis de Montlaville rose and explained an ex pression he bad made on the preceding day, which was misunderstood by the Chamber. In stating that the So ciety of the Rights of Man had adopted Robespierre as a complete symbol of their principles, he meant to say that they had, no doubt, made a distinction between the patriot and the sanguinary Member of the Convention. He declared that, far his part, be repudiated the principles of the deplorable epoch of 1793, and would never be a partisan of the political Oct who proclaimed them. The discussion of the address was then resumed, and M. Lamortier, as first orator, was called to the tribune. The name of this gentleman/was received with marks of approbation, and his appearance at the tribune excited much interest. The orator began by acknowledging that many useful reforms had been considered in the Administration, that improvements had been made in the instruction of the inferior classes, that peace had been consolidated, and he thanked the country for those results. After a political profession, in which he said that lee was the agent of no party, be professed his respect for our illustrious misfortunes, and deplored the excesses coramitted in their name in the western departments of France: he prayed his colleagues not to take any engagement, with regar d to the question of the East ; thev were, he said, unacquainted with the intentions of the 'French Government and those of its in timate allies on that subject. They should wait until they understood the question better. He declared that a de structive war would be the result of any interference en the part of France with that of the Ottoman empire, and begged of his colleagues to suppress the paragraph of the address referring to the eastern question. M. Alexandre Giroud made a frightful picture of the violence, committed in La Vendee by the Chouans, and expressed a desire that energetic measures should be re sorted to, to restore order to that province, and provide for the security of the patriots who were exposed unjustly to be disarmed and murdered by ferocious bands, sent forward by a secret tribunal, who issued sentences but too punctually executed.

M. Fulcheron began by complaining that much of dangerous advice was offered to the workmen of Lyons. He maintained that since the last forty years the condition of the working classes bad been considerably ameliorated. He adjured them not to be led astray by the promises of impossible and sudden perfection. I know, added he, that we shall probably be pointed out to the people as their enemies, but we shall have courage enough to submit to the calumny, for we are not inclined to court popularity by fostering extravagant and impossible expectations.— (Applause from the centre.) M. Chapius Montlaville, who spoke on this occasion for the first time in the Chamber, declared himself opposed to the adoption of the Address, but wished it at the same time to be understood that he did not coincide with those who wished for the Republic. "He hoped," be said, "that the Society of the Rights of Man had not chosen Robespierre for their complete architype."—(Laughter from the centre, and cries of " Complete ! You have said it.") Montlaville—For their architype.—(Cries from the centre " Complete ! complete !") The President—lf the Hon. Deputy wishes, he is at liberty to retract that expression. He has the right. M. Viennet affirmed that even the poorer landed proprietors, who are not qualified as electors, are in fa vour of the Government, notwithstanding all the interest which the partisans of revolution show them. M. Viennet, in alluding to one of the objections made to the speech from the throne, that no mention was made in it of Algiers, said, " The question of Algiers was discussed by the commission, of which I am a member, and I gave it as my opinion that it was as superfluous to raise any doubts relative to our keeping of Algiers, as it would be to raise them with regard to Provence and Normandy. --(Laughter from the left.) I look upon the colony of Algiers as having become irrevocably the property of France. It belongs to us of common right, and in virtue of the right of conquest; and I do not believe there could be found any Frenchman who would accept the place of Minister under the condition of ceding this co lony, (M. Viennet, as he passed by the seat of the 31i nisters, in returning to his place, was felicitated by Messrs. Thiers, Bartbe, and de Rigny.) General Lafayette, on ascending the tribune, took a general view of the foreign relations of the country, in the course of which he reproached the Ministry with the abaci_ dooment of Poland, and their indifference with regard to Italy, He would, he said, on some future occasion, take the liberty of asking the Minister for Foreign Affairs for some explanation with regard to the conduct of the Go vernment towards Germany. 31. Persil ascended the tribune with rapid strides, ana commenced by stating that he bad been amongst those who were the earliest to declare for the Revolution of July. " I shall endeavour," said he, " Gentlemen, to prove to you that I have observed faithfully the engage. ments which I then undertook, and that I have never ceased to respect those institutions which I am accused of disregarding. Some have pretended that the Press is not free in France. But has it ever happened to any amongst us, on seeing his library. table heaped 'with journals, to say the liberty of the Press exists not in France? When walking through the streets may ycu not have heard, at the very gate of the King's Palace, cries of the venders of obscene writings—these same venders being dressed in a costume that would lead you to take them for messengers of Satan?—(Laughter.) After examining the abomi nable tendency of these writings, can any one say that the liberty of the Press exists not? In my capacity of Ma gistrate I doubt that we are sufficiently protected from the licentiousness of the Press." (Here M. Persil entered into considerable detail upon his official duties at Attorney General, and contended that in strict compliance with these duties he could not have acted otherwise than he had done.) M. Persil was frequently interrupted during his speech, and on one of these occasions the President said :—" Gen tlemen,—This discussion is of the most seriour import ance—it involves the honour of the Magistrature, to whom is intrusted the defence of the community, and which, in its turn, is likewise entitled to protection, and ought to Quarters ei 7,829,249 428,833 11,572,018 ided Jan. 5. 7,814,830 482,605 The Commissioners resumed their adjourned investigation this morning, at the usual hour. Sir F. PALGRAYE in the Chair. Mr. WOODTIIORPE continued his evidence. On the subject of the contest for the Aldermanic gown of the Portsoken Ward, between Messrs. Scales and Johnstone, as it was a matter sub udice, Mr. Woodthorpe declined giving any opinion. In regard to the freedom of the city, some immediately take up their freedom on being summoned before the Chamberlain; others after being granted some time; if not, on engaging to quit the city no proceedings were taken against them. There was no difficulty in procuring a company to get admission. Indeed, for the convenience of the public, several of the offi cers about Guildhall were clerks of the minor companies, who were empowered at once to grant admission to applicants on the spot, without calling together the master and the wardens. The fines on admission were not uniform in the different Companies, but in many instances the variation did not exceed from ss. to lOs. These was thus established a competition between the different Companies which naturally prevented unreasonable fines being demanded. The City Cor poration do not interfere at all in regard to the amount of the fines ; it is left entirely to the discretion of the different Com panies. The circumstance that traders in the city were ob. liged to take up their freedom, had a decided effect in increasing the respectability, and in raising the character of the tradesmen. The very name of a Freeman of the City of London gave a high standing to the tradesman. It was for this purpose, in order to secure freemen capable of bearing burdens, and having the means of carrying on his business that it was originally required before admission, that a person should produce a certificate from six neighbours, that he was a man of substance and goods and chattels. A master being free of the city, has a right to em. ploy under him those who are not freemen, provided, having an apprentice, he has failed in his application for fit and able journeymen, who have been ad mitted to the freedom of the city. The master must make oath to this effect, before he can procure a license from the Court of Lord Mayor and Alder men. The Court does not generally enter into the question of wages. If the freeman, however, demands exorbitant wages, the Court would allow the non freemen to be employed. But the master was always ready to employ a freeman much in prefer ence to a foreigner, unless there was some moral or other valid objection to his character or professional skill. The price of a license is is. fid. ; the demand for them was not considerable in consequence of their not being opposed. The course was for an operative freeman to bring an information in the Lord Mayor's Court against a master who employed foreigners with out a license in order to recover the penalties ; the master has to satisfy the Court of the incompetency of the freeman or he must dismiss a foreigner and employ him. The taking up of his freedom insures a man always good employment and good wages ; and for twenty-five years past his (Mr. Woodthorpe's) opinion was that the freemen of the City had been in full remu nerative employment, which was another reason, and he thought the principal one why licenses to employ non-freemen had become so uncommon now.

M. Odillot; Barrot wished for the representative Go• vernment in all its purity, and for hereditary monarchy with all the liberty and all the guarantees obtained by the revolution of July, and declared his perfect acquiescence in the eloquent political professions delivered on Friday by his friend M. Mauguin. If those guarantees were violated, the safety of the country, he said, required that the representative Government, as he understood it should be restored to its purity, and for that purpose it was necessary that the Administration should be backed by the majority of the nation. The Ministry must be the expression of that majority. He then went on to show the differences existing in the Cabinet, the non-identity of its principles, and maintained that the representative Government did not exist. The majo rity of the Chamber, overawed by emeutes, and the ex pressions of principles subversive of society, may be said to have of f ered its support to the Government ; but it did not by that act identify itself with their system. He then recapitulated the numerous defeats which the Ministry had experienced in the Chambers. Their Bill for the erection of forts round the capital had been thrice brought forward and rejected. They likewise supported the hereditary principle of the Peerage, and many other Bills which be would not enumerate, and yet the same Ministry continued to govern within the Chambers. The state of siege they proclaimed without any motive, and was so strongly stig matised by the Court of Cassation, that they had not courage to defend it. At a moment when they assured the nation that peace was secured, they contemplated to sur round Paris with Bastiles ; and when the Chamber re fused to grant the necessary funds for their construction, one of the Members of the Cabinet came forward, and de clared that the works should be continued, and that the public funds should be applied to that purpose, in spite of the vote of the Legislature. Could that, he inquired, be called a Representative Government ? The fortification of Lyons might be considered as a military question, as it could be attended with no bad consequences for the liberty of the country, but that of Paris could not he held in any other than a political point of view. —[Left speaking.] The probable amount of Exchequer Bills required to meet the charge on the Consolidated Fund, Quarter ended sth Jan., 1834 324,333 8,R33,728 2,010,322 10,844,050 2,887,941 2,542,018 SHIPPING IN TELLIGENCE-(TH FROM LLOYD'S. 9,a58 259,4, 4 3 127,500 336,224 9,030,000 2,542,018 11,572,018 4,497,059 345,9'23 4,842,182 S DAY.)

Paris is of a pacific nature; there s ee m s now to b e an i nclination to act more in accordance with the political views of the Northern Courts, and not blindly to follow 'she impulse which the British Government would willingly give at Paris relative to oriental affairs. It is now seen that peace is desired by all, and that it is not prudent to oppose the public wish, as it is often done in England. The British tlinistry appears to be under the yoke of the journalists; persons well acquainted with that country are of opinion that its opposition to the Russian treaty proceeds either from weakness or inexperience. More caution is ob served in Paris, where there appears to be the same re strictions with England in Turkish matters, as England employs with France, in the affairs of Spain. This accords with the advice given to Louis Philip by a celebrated statesman.—' Qu'il ne fallait pas s'engager dons une affaire d propos de bottes'—proviug to the King how cautiously it was necessary to act in a remote question of secondary interest to France, wi'bout interrupting tho friendly alliance existing with England.

About half past 10 o'clock last Sunday evening a chaise drove up to the Angel Inn, in Warmin ster, and put down a lady and gentleman, totally desti tute of any luggage. The lady appeared to be much affected, weeping much, and desired to see the landlady. On her going into the room the gentleman somewhat hastily directed her to leave it, which she did, and shortly after sent in the wa i ter , w h o f oun d, t o hi s great su rprise, that in the interim the parties had left the house. It ap pears they had gone to the Lord's Arms Inn, and there bespoke a bed, but while partaking of refreshments they changed their minds and ordered a chaise, in which they drove off for Deptford Inn, where they arrived after the family were all gone to bed ; however, they succeeded in getting a bed, the lady being ohliged to burrow night clothes of the chambermaid. Next morning the party drove off, it is supposed to Southampton, intending to cross over to France.

The returns of the Quarter's Revenue, ending yesterday, although they show a deficiency for the quarter of 91,5471., and for the year of 442,4941., are on the whole satisfactory, con sidering the amount of the taxes which have been reduced or repealed. But for those re ductions there would probably have been an increase in the total Revenue for the year. The Excise returns for the year show an in crease of 183,7411., and as this branch of the Revenue is said to be the thermometer by which the better or worse condition of the people is shown, we may congratulate the public on the returns. We could wish, however, whilst we rejoice at the increased power of the industrious orders for the purchase of the articles of comfort and luxury which are subject to the Excise Laws, that the account were not swelled by the continually increasing propensity for spirits which so many of that class of our fellow countrymen display. We would cheerfully dispense with the portion of Revenue so obtained. The decrease on the Customs for the year is 612,8941., and for the quarter just ended not less than 293,0191., being in the proportion of nearly double wh at it is for the whole year. We confess we do not anticipate an improvement in, this branch of the Revenue for the ensuing year The new Prussian tariff will, in all probability, prevent an increase in our Custom returns ; and we think we are warranted in assuming that the deficiency of the last quarter has been, in some measure, caused by anticipation of that event. There is another deficiency in the Post-office returns. How are we to account for this gra dual and continued falling off? Has it never occurred to Ministers that the rate of postage is so high that every means are adopted to carry on communication by other channels ? To prevent deficiency we have heard of the rigid enforcement by the Post-office agents, of the laws against the transmission of letters by private hand. Were the rate of postage to be reduced, there would be no necessity for such proceedings. It should be remembered that the present rate rose gra dually to what it is, by new additions during the war, when the means of transport were dearer, and salaries of every kind at least 25 per cent. higher than they now are. It would be just, therefore, as well as politic, to reduce the rate of postage in proportion as other charges have been reduced. The Dutch Papers last received contain an article from St. Petersburgh, disavowing the offensive article in the Moscow Gazette, in which it was said that the next peace between England and Russia would be signed in Calcutta, and declaring that there is no ill-feeling against the English nation in Russia. It is, it seems, only against the Radicals of the English Parliament that NICHOLAS entertains hostility. We are not surprised at his dislike of those gentlemen ; but we dare say Mr. CUTLAR FERGUSSON and the other Members of the House of Commons, who have exposed his atrocities to the Poles, will feel honoured by the hatred of the Autocrat of the North. The Allgemeine Zeitung, which arrived this morning, contains a curious article from Augsburg, dated the 30th ult., in which it is stated that the SULTAN, in acknowledging a present of cannon from the King of ENGLAND, said " he felt the most lively interest in a well organized naval force, and the power of a fine fleet ; that he had visited the Tuikish fleet, which peculiar circumstances had brought to Constantinople, and that he likewise wished to see the English fleet stationed in the Mediter ranean, but that he must renounce that pleasure, because neither the interest of the British Go vernment nor that of his empire could allow the entrance of that fleet into the Dardane lles.

Etr the declaration of the SULTAN that we had taken alarm unnecessarily at the alliancp between him and the Emperor of RussiA, inasmuch as he had merely placed Russia on the same foot ing as other favoured nations. He says now that he cannot allow the entrance of an English fleet into the Dardanelles ! ! Another German paper contains a long and furious denunciation of a German Club in Paris, said to contain 1,000 members, and from which, it says, all manner of revolutionary lava is spouted forth. The Paris Papers of Friday and Saturday have been received. They contain an accoun t of the discussion in the Chamber of Deputies on the Address. In the course of this discus sion M. PERSIL, the Attorney General, made an attempt to defend himself against the just odium that he had incurred by the late proceed ings against the Society of Les Droits de 1 'Homme. He was of course supported by his party, but the defence altogether was a miserable affair. Even M. GUIZOT, one of the Ministers, was obliged to qualify his support to this ob noxious gentleman, who, as regards the Press, is styled " Le Scarlett Francais." There are accounts from Bayonne dated the 31st inst., of various military movements in Spain, but none of them require particular notice. On the whole, affairs appear to be in nearly the same state as at the date of the pre ceding accounts. Merino had not entered Portugal, as he was reported to have done. The agents of Don MIGUEL are still actively engaged, and money does not appear to be wanting. They are in treaty for three large American ships, and a bargain has been nearly struck for the purchase of a ship now lying in the River Thames. Their land forces are said to be deficient only of officers, and, on the arrival of a reinforcement of this kind, consisting of twenty, who sailed a few days ago from the River , under the command of a Major B—, who now calls himself a Major-Generals they intend to make an attack upon Oporto. The officers in question sailed for Vigo, with the intention of proceeding from thence to the I\liguelite army, near Oporto ; but as the Spa nish Ambassador here, M. DE VIAL, privately received an intimation of their destined port, he may have written to the authorities at Vigo to apprise them of the character of the persons alluded to, and request their detention. It is not improbable, however, that one of the Pedroite cruisers may fall in with them, and save the authorities of Vigo the trouble of ar resting them. We are glad to see that an influential Morn ing Contemporary has pursued the line of reasoning which we attempted on Saturday, re specting the present demonstrations against Russia. We observed on Saturday, that our Government ought not to speculate for a moment upon the probable effect of warlike demonstra tions and menaces on the mind of the Emperor of RUSSIA, but preserve a dignified calm during the discussion, relying rather upon the justice of their cause, and their means of enforcing it, than upon the supposed reluctance of the Emperor of RUSSIA to going to war. The Times of this morning justly observes, with reference to this view of the subject, " there is nothing so silly as a , de- monstration' which bears upon the front of it that it is a demonstration, and nothing more• A demonstration, once discovered to be a de- monstration on the part of these two Govern ments (the British and French) is worse than none ; of little value, moreover, is a remon strance carried on in words, and ending in re signation." It is unnecessary for us to say that we concur in these sentiments, but we may be permitted to repeat our satisfaction at seeing them thus enforced. The address of the Russian Ambassadorl Count Pozzo DI BORGo, in the name of the Diplomatic Body, to the King of the FRENCH, on new year's day, is an admirable specimen of the skill with which political intentions of the deepest cast may be concealed under the veil of. diplomatic courtesy. There is nothing in this address, abstractedly considered, to remove the apprehension that the present peace of Europe, will be disturbed ; nor, on the other hand, is there a single passage in it indicative of the anxiety of the Emperor NICHOLAS to avoid war ? M. Pozzo DI BORG() says, " The continuance of peace has given daily proofs of its inestimable advantages to Governments and me tions." Good! But was there ever an Ambas sador yet, who, even with the knowledge of desire for war on the part of the Government whose mouthpiece he was, did not talk of the blessings of peace anti the horrors of war? M. Pozzo DI BORGO says, indeed, that " the wisdom of the hitherto, Mo narchs to maintain it rto who will find the taken care the means of preserving it for,the future ;" but how general and equivocal does this expression appear ? Should the Emperor of RUSSIA resolve to pet' sist in his views on Turkey and the British and French Governments on the other hand resolve on opposing them, he wou ld b e t h e fi rs t to deplore the melancholy necessity of in' terrupting the continuance of peace, on which his ambassador congratulates the French KING, and, to throw the departures from the line of wisdom on the monarchs of Great Britain and France. We confess, therefore, that we do not' find a single indication in the Address of M , Pozzo DI BORGO of a disposition to preserve P eace by concession, and without concession oo the part of Russia, it seems to us t o be impossible to prevent war. The Chain' ber of Deputies distrusts the Court phraseo' logy of the Russian Ambassador. The Pre' sident, DUPIN, instead of congratulating t h e KING on the general indications of peace, and particularly on the pacific assurances of other Governments, says, " I wish your Majesty that which can alone fully satisfy a good King--" peace, as far as it may be possible, but a safe ad honourable peace, worthy of the nation."
