tl,t was wished for, was a little delay till such time as the es..nt pressure of business would be disposed of. The Hong', then divided— For the motion GS Against it Majority SOAP DUTIES. On the report oftb;CorrTMittatTOn the Soap Duties Bill being brought up, Sir R. VYVYAN begged to ask the Right Hon. Gen tleman opposite whether any drawback of the duties on soap was to be allowed under the new Bill to the soap ma nufacturers ? Mr. SPRING RICE said the matter had been the subject of consideration at the Treasury, and he thought the question of the drawbacks had been 2djusted in a manner satisfactory to all parties. The arrangement was, that the amount of drawback should be to the new dutie in exact proportion to the amount allowed under the old sca l e of dutits, and he believed that the whole arrange meet had given entire satisfaction to the soap manufac turers. Mr. LALOR complained that, by the Bill, Ireland had not been put on the same footing with England. Mr. S. RICE said it would not in every instance he advantageous to either country if they \vete set on exactiy the same footing. Mr. HAWES said the soap manufac•ure a were in gt nen! well satisfied with the arrangement male. The report was then received. ASSESSED TAXES. Mr. BERNAL brought up the report on the Assessed Taxes Act. Sir R.VYVYAN complained that by this Act publican 4 were not put on die satne footing with shopkeepers. Mr. S. RICE could assure the Hon. Baronet tho Go vernment was inclined to take the case of the publicans and victuallers into not only serious but favourable considera tion.—(Hear, hear.) He thought, however, it would be better to defer saying more on the subject till they came to consider the Bill itself. JEWISH EMANCIPATION. On the order of the day being moved for the second reading of the Jewish Disahilities Removal Bill, The LORD ADVOCATE begged leave to present a petition in favour of this m , asure, signed most numerous'y and respectably by various students and others of the city of Edinburgh. An HON. MEMBER, presented a similar petition from Canterbury. Sir R. INGLIS should oppos,? this Bill as one pregnant with the most disastrous consequences, popular as it might he. This was a most important question, for it was a question whether we were to be a Christian people or not; whether that Supreme Legislative Assembly were to con sist of men professing one faith, or was to be made up of a set of men who blasphemed the sacred name of Christ, and who reviled all Christians as blaspheming idolaters? The House might then soon become a medley of men of all faiths, and of none—of Jews, Turks, and Heathens. Before he proceeded, he must take occasion to complain of the absence of his Majesty's Ministers on this occasion; it was not the first important discussion from which they had absented themselves. Great stress had been laid upon the alleged kind treatment of Jews at Hlrriburg and in Prussia. Now, he could tell the House, upon good authority, that there was nothing of the sort, and he would refer the House to the report of a Committee made in 1816, where- in it was officially stated that at Hamburg no persons, but those who professed the Lutheran faith, were eligible to hold civil offices ; and as to the position of Jews in Pius. . . sia, he had made it his business to institute inquiries on this point, and had received communications, from cor respondents of the highest authority, which were to the kffect that in 1811-12, the Jews in that country bad been admitted to purchase land, to exercise trades and callings, and to take academical honours ; it had been made a ques t ion how far they could be eligible for civil offices, but this had been reserved for further deliberation, and had not yet been decided ; and subsequently to that period, their eli gibility to take academical honours had been rescinded. The example of America and France bad been held our too ; and here he must admit that the statements he Lad made on a former occasion, with reference to the condi tion of the Jews in these countries, had been somewhat erroneous. But the reason of his then asserting that the Jews laboured under civil disabilities in America, was the tact, that none of that persuasion had ever bad a seat in the Legislative Assembly, and only five individuals of that faith bad held scats in the French Chamber of Deputies However, the (louse had not to decide by the example— if such there were—of a Latitudinarian Republic in one hemisphere, and of a more than Latitudinarian Monarchy in the other. No ; the House had to decide upon Chris •ian principles, and according to the principles of our .S.on. It could never he expected that we should tiers in the Jews ; they were far too exclusive a C l 2-). .n every respect, and would never he Englishmen. pe„._WWill always feel a greater interest in another Jew at :Varsaw, or any where else, than in his English neighbour. The mere title of birthright in this island surely did not give the Jew the full rights of Englishmen. Moreover, they were not entitled to those rights, from their obsti nacy in not complying with the conditions of a Christian country. It was most absurd to call disability persecu . Besides, he would show that this Bill was not Lion. wanted. There were two divisions of the Jews ; and he solemnly assurer! the House, that none of the higher orders .4r: that people had expressed any desire for this " boon," nor even took the slightest interest in the question. Not me of the Synagogues had petitioned for it. He would go further—he could .tate to the House, that the more con scientious of tae persuasion were strongly averse to having this " b on," and, among others, that great luminary Rabbi Jacob, in a communication which he (Sir li. Inglis) held in his hand, expressly said, that " this start for emancipation was a deadly crime against the Almighty, that it had been set on foot wholly by a set of obscure Jews, who desired bor•••:r and profit, end to be made freemen among this pr - '..ph , , wholly forgetting the sacred principle, that a Jew c.sn be a freeman of no country but the Land of Canaan." The Hon. Member concluded by moving, that the Bill be read a second time that day six months. Mr. SINCLAIR said that, in seconding the motion of his Hen. Friend, he h.tri only one single argument to ad vance in support of his opinion —namely, that this was a Christian country and a Christian Legislature, and that it was inconsistent with their duty and allegiance towards the God whom they worshipped, to admit those persons to occupy the highest station, or to become Members of this House, by whom he, whom we acknowledged as over all, God blessed for ever, was denounced as a cruefied imposter. He knew that in these days of religious 13,,r.. barisru, he should be denounced as a fanatic, on account of the sentiments which he now ventured to express ; but for this he was fully prepared. Mr. BUCKINGHAM supported the measure. The qualities necessary for a legislator were intelligence and in tegrity, and in these qualities the Jews at least equalled if they did not excel the Christians. Mr. FINCH opposed the 13411. He did not wish to borrow institutions from other countries, and this was an innovation en the British Constitution, borrowed from countries inferior to Britain. He thought, before they could proceed with such a measure, some political expe diency ought to be made out, but none had been, and not one petition had been sent from any synagogue in favour of the measure. He contended, also, that the Jews were not fit to be Judges, since they denied what was au im portant part of the common law of the land. He believed that some persons supported this measure because it tended to overthrow the established church. He was satisfied that such would be its effects, and that the great body of the Protestants were opposed to it.—(Hear, hear.) Sir OSWALD MOSLEY said, if this Bill were pa-sed, they would no longer be a Christian country. The Jews blasphemed the sacred name of Jesus.—(No, no ! and cheers.) They held up the Christians to scorn —(No, no !) Gentlemen said, " No, no!" He should he glad to have a proof of the correctness of their opi Mous. It was on the verge of possibility, if that Bill were to pass. that they might have a new Speaker. Would that gentleman have to choose a chaplain ?—(Loud cheers.) Could he be present at pronouncing the name of Jesus ? That would be a solemn mockery.—(Loud cheers.) That was his view of the measure. Dr. LUSHINGTON said, some of the Hon. Members who were the loudest and most vehement in their profes sions of Christianity, seemed, at the very moment of mak ing these professions, to over l oo k t h e c hi e f est Ch r i st i an di ctrine, inasmuch as the imptved intentions and ascribed motives to an intelligent r a t Y , nd . upright race of men, with a view to fix on themde iiiz k degradations, and exclu sions, against which, if they' persona, one-twentieth part of them in their own prop er would cry out as a grievous injo,tice, and as the ,:;f the ' y of the most malignant intentions.—(Cheers, an d Ti r ; l " t / f r 1 ,,, 00.

Much Cellar) , e had been placed on she doetrini that Parliament wit,' exclusively Christian : '!re denied that the re was any foundation for making that assertion. He could not anticipate any of those great evil, which had been mentioned as likely to result from qualifying Jews to sit in that House. It was a matter which hi thought might be fairly left to the discrimination of elec tors, who would not fail to select the most competent in dividuals. He really thought the electors did cot require the nursing care of the lion. Baronet.—(Elear.) In a po itico•economical point of view, it was a great folly to limit the market for virtue and talent—which would . he the case if this Bill were rejected. The opposition to appeared to him to spring from the cloister.—(No, no. He did not mean, in s.tying that, to allude to the oh , ladies who resided there.—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) He denied that the Christian religion could he at all en• dangered by such a concession. Mr. E. BULLER and slr. PLUDITRE opposed the Bill. Mr. FINN, ns cne of the Catholics who had been re• cently admitted to the House, could not but support ti e present measure. Mr. PETRE supported the second reading of the Bill on similar grounds. Lord J. RUSSELL must support the principle of this Bill. He could not anticipate any real danger to th, Constitution from this measure. Out of the 27,000 Jews, probably three or four would be admitted to the bar, five or six to inferior offices of state, and one or tw,, to seats in that House; but they might be sure they would never hear from these latter any sentiments which would lead to the opposition of the peculiar tenets of the Chris tian and Jewish religions. But although it was of no great importance as a qu‘stion of practise, yet it was of great importance as a question of principle ; for if dif ferences in religious opinions were to lead to civil disabili ties, they ought not to stop at exclusion from Parliament, but ought to go the fullest extent—even to banishment and death.—(Hear.) They should either adopt the prin ciple in its complete application, or not at all. He had never seen any reason why a Jew should not fulfil all the duties of a citizen ; why he should not act as honestly, bravely, and patriotically as any other English subject.— (Hear. hear.) A MEMBER, whose name we could not learn, oh jceted to the Bill solely in a religious point of view. Mr. GRANT replied. The House then divided, when there appeared-- For the second reading 159 Against it Majority in favour of the Bill -107 It was agree,/ that the Bill should be committed on Friday se'npi:ht. JUDICIAL APPOINTMENTS. The House then resolved itself into a Committee on the Privy Council The SOLICITOR GENERAL said it was necessary that the Privy Council should he made a more tffici,nt tribunal ; and he thought the House would not object to the proposed addi'ion of 4001. to the superannuated allow ances of retired Ju , ?ges, on condition of their affording the Privy Council the benefit of their legal experience. Mr. PRYME made a few remarks, which were not audible. Mr. LLOYD said if Judges were capable of acting, they ought to be siintinued on the Bench, and not placed on retired allowances. Mr. JERVIS understood that there was a Puisne Baron of the Exchequer, who, having been on the bench for 15 years, was entitled to the retired allowance, but who re fu,ed to retire milers a certain addition was made to that allowance. There was, also, Ire understood, a Learned Gentleman connected with the Government, who expec'ed an appointment in the Court of Exchequer. What con nexion these points had 'with the present Bill, he did not pretend to say ; but there were now three judges more than formerly, and he did not see why one or more of them should not attend the Privy Council without im posing any additional burden on the country. Mr. HUME spoke in opposition to the Bill. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL was astonished at the surmises which had been thrown out. He did not deny that certai❑ circumstances had occurred recently ; but the proposed measure had been projected nine, nay, twelve months ago, when it was resolved to re-model the Privy Council. A Bill had been drawn up then, and part of the plan was, that the retired judges should be requested to sit on the Privy Council, and should be indemnified in the way now proposed. An HON. MEMBER (name unknown) moved that the House be counted, when there being only twenty-eight Members present, the House adjourned at a quarter past two o'clock. FRENCH PAPERS. (From Galignani's Messenger of Tuesday.) The Temps gives the following as a rumour :—'• It is now said that the marriage of the Duchess of Berry with Count Lucchesi Palli took place at Masse, in the chapel of the Spanish Consulate, three days previous to her departure for Marseille,." The same paper announces that " the Viscount de Chateaubriand is going to Prague. He is said to be charged with a mission to obtai❑ the consent of the fallen fami ly to the Countess of Lucchesi Palli pre serving, notwithstanding the marriage, the title, rink, and honours of a Princess of the blood." The Quotidienne contains a letter from four rectors, expressing to the C, unt de Kergorlay their sympathy and admiration of the " sublime courage with which he repels the atrocious calumny (Elected against the Duchess of Berry, who has not ceased one instant to be a perfect model of greatness, of courage, and purity of mind and conduct." The Memorial Bordelais of the IStb instant has the following :—" We learn from Paris, that Count Luc chesi Palli will arrive shortly in that capital, to seek permission of the Government to proceed to Blaye. Letters from the latter town state that the Duclnss is fast recovering; the fever has let her, and to-morrow she purposes to rise and attend mass. It appears, that notwithstanding her great desire to suckle her child, the medical attendants have prevailed upon her to ab stain from this maternal employment, and take a nurse. We are also assured that a frigate has received orders to sail from Brest, to take on board the Princess, who will leave Blaye towards the end of this month. She will proceed direct to Palermo. General Bugeaud, an Aide de-Citop, and Dr. Deneux, it is stated, are to accompany the Duchess to the end of her voyage. M. de Brissac and Madame d'llautefort, considering, no doubt, their future attendance useless, will not accompany the Prin cess, but remain in France." According to the Independent des Deux Sevres of the 18th inst,, preparations are in progress for another insurrection in La Vendee. Arms and ammunition are said to have been landed at several points of the coast of Brittany. Several irfluential ',riders, it is added, are traversing the country, in order to enlist peasants. The following occurrence, related ins letter of the 17th inst. from Frankfurt, probably gave rise to the re port circulated on 'CLiange yesterday, of a conflict be tween the Austrian troops and the people of Frankfort : "An event took place yesterday which created conside rable anxiety. At Niedevrad, a small town about a league from Frankfort, three students, dressed as peasants, en deavoured to carry off one of the poles used for fixing torches, in case of disturbance, as a signal to the surround ing troops. The sentinel discovered them, and gave the alarm, upon which the Austrians attacked the students, who, nevertheless, after wounding several of the assail. ants, effected their escape." The Frankfort Journal has the following of the 14th inst., from Stutgard : " For some days past we have had here two St. Simoni ans, whose strange costume attracts much attention. All for women' is the motto of a certain profession of faith, signed Rousseau, which they distribute. According to this paper, they are going to Siberia, having been pre vented by the French Government from labouring to con vert the convicts at the hulks." The Auysburg Gazette of the 17th inst. has a letter from Belgrade, dated May 6th, stating that the French squadron which is collecting in the Archipelago will pro bably be obliged to take up a station without the Darda nelles, as the Russian Ambassador is said to have declared himself against its being admitted into the sea of the Mar mora. The saute paper gives the following particulars from Constantinople respecting the St Simonians, whose arrival there we have already mentioned : " The arrival of a party of St. Simonians to seek the free woman in this capital anal marry her to Father Enfantin, has for some days past diverted the public at tention from the important political events which are now passing. These adventurers, by their ridiculous costume and conduct, as well as by the liberties they took with some Turkish women, had given to the Government so much cause for suspicion and discontent, that it ordered them to be arrested and conveyed to the Dardanelles, whence they will lie expelled from the Ottoman empire."

Mr. PELLENC, the friend of M!RABEAU, who, after the death of that distinguished orator, became the Secretary of Mr. Purr, died on Monday last, at Paris, at the advanced age of 83. He was considered to be one of the most learned men of his time. He was buried at rite cernetary of Pere la Chaise, on Tuesday, the funeral being attended only by a few private friends. PARIS, MAY 17. FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) In my last I spoke to you of the party of young Re. publicans, and of the men with Republican principles, of whom Lafay• tte is the bead. I will now speak of the Carlo-legitimatists. This party,whorn the revolution of July had a'most crushed, is now numerous, compact, and well disciplined, under able chiefs, and with good pecuniary resources. Its point d'appui is in the capital, and in the departments of the west and south. The failure of the attempts of the Duchess de Berri has deprived this party of power for the moment; and, as the Carlo.legitimatists are held in horror by the bulk of the nation, any cffarts that they could make of themselves would be useless ; hut, if we were to be attacked by foreigners, this party would make a powerful diversion in their favour. It is also im portant to observe that, if France were to remain for a long time balanced between the dread of republican anarchy and the discontent that it feels at the present regime, there would be reason to fear that the people would become accustomed to the demand for Henry the Fifth, and encourage it as a means of escaping from their perplexity. The Doctrinnaire, or juste milieu party, is composed of all those timid men who regard anarchy as inseparable from republicanism, and who, not taking into account the difference of time and the modification of 'ideas, think that the return of the regime of 1793 is possible, and in ima gination already behold the guillotine in the streets of Paris—of fundholders, who dread the deterioration of their fortunes—of dealers, whose stability has been affected by the revolution of 1830—of bankers, whose credit has been shaken—of a magistracy, whose public existence could not survive another liberal revolution—of employes, created by the present system—of the trading aristocracy, financial and legal jobbers, by whom Louis Philip is surrounded, mud of all the servile Imperialists who have attached them. selves to the new dynasty. But in all these there is nei. ther affection for, nor devotion to, the present system by any other tie than interest. Thus, if a revolution were to take place, and the Government created by it to exist only weeks, without realizing the fears of the Philipists, most of this party, having no new sacrifices to make, would rally round the new Government. It is even ceri rain that, among the adherents of the House of Orleans, there are many whose national pride has only been deadened for a time by personal interest, and who would, on an ins pulse, exert themselves warmly in favour of the new order of things which would be produced by a revolution. The question as regards the army is more complicated. If a second popular revolution had immediately followed hat of 1830, the army smarting under the recollection of its defeat on that occasion would, I imagine, have taken part with the Government against the people. This feel ing of resentment no longer exists ; at least it is over powered by a spirit of indignation at the way in which the national glory is compromised by Louis Philip. This spirit grows daily ; for as peace continues, so are the chances of promotion diminished. The campaign in Belgium would have made the army forget what it con siders its disgraceful inactivity, it they had retained the citadel of Antwerp, and regarded that possession as a guarantee of further conquests ; but the order for an im • mediate retreat from Belgium, where so much blood had ',ova shed, for an acquisition which was not to be retained, gave the troops a very unfavourable opinion of Louis Philip, and the profuse distribusion of dec irations after the campaign has done very little towards removing this impression. Indeed the cross which used to fill the soldier with joy, now produces hardly any effect, since it has been made the instrument of intrigue and corruption. The army, from the private to• the captain, have no respect for Louis Philip, and the patriotic societies in spite of all that is done to prevent it, produce a sensible t tfect upon the soldiers. Only the superior officers (with the exception always of those who are of the Carlo legitimate party) aro in favour of Louis Philip. It requires very little intercourse with the army to be convinced of its disaffection for the present regime ; and it is evident that every thing which is done for its advantage by the Go s ernment, is attributed to the fears of Louis Philip. It is certain that the army would never maintain a struggle against the people A. R. S. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. PARIS, MAY 20.—The denouement of the drama or Melodrama of Blaye is over. The Princess Caroline of Naples, of Bourbon blood, the sister of the reigning King, the sister of the King of Spain, the niece of Louis Phi lip, the granddaughter of the Austrian Cmsars, the mo ther of Mademoiselle de Berry d'Artois, and of the child of the miracle, the Duke of Bordeaux, now Henry V., according to the reckoning of legitimacy, is, after all, Ma dame the Countess Hector de Lucchesi Pall. Well, then, there is a hal•py mortal who has ingrafted a daughter on this Royal stuck, and has shared the couch of the Princess Regent during her Vtndean excursions, but who, doubtles, is happy enough to have escaped the disagree able affair of the Chateau de la Peniciere. We may now have a guess of the nature of the dreadful and irreparable misfortune of which the Countess de la Rochej•tcquelin spoke and deplored. In spite of all this, doubts have arisen as to the reality of the union declared to have taken place betwee❑ the widow of the Duke of Berry with Count Hector de Luc chesi Palli. The period of the birth throws hack the epoch of another event to the month of August, 1832. Now, it this M. Lucchesi be, as we are assured he is, the Neapolitan Charge d'Afftires of the same name at the Court of the Hague, it is certain that M. Lucchesi Paili was in the month of August at the seat of his mission, and there is nothing to show that there could at that time he ary intercourse between this diplom_tist and the Duchess. But there is always something miraculous in the confinements of her Royal Highness. She has again given to the world a miracle-born child, for which her new husband is doubtless grateful. Do you wish to know something more of this M. de Lucchesi Palli, husband by declaration, father presumptive? I will tell you. Count Lucchesi Palli (if he put forward at Blaye and the Minister at the Hague he one and the same person, of which there seems no doubt) is a man of 30 or there about, and of the middle size. His features, which are pitted with the small-pox, are of a very common cast. His deportment is grave, but affected. In general he is altogether wanting in dignity; there is nothing in his manners like the man of rank, nor even the gentleman. He passes his evenings with the financier Ouvrard, Ma dame de Rossi, formerly Miss Sontag, and the Countess du Cayla. He often dines at the table d'hote of the Grand Deelen Inn. You will easily conceive the great vexation of our legi timatist devotees at their disappointment. The must fans tical of the set take refuge in a denial of the facts, not withstanding the most formal and indisputable proofs. M. de Kergorlay declares that he will not believe in the event until he has seen and touched. He requires proof as decisive as that given by the Duchess at tOe birth of the Duke of Bordeaux, when, calling her attendants around her, and uncovering herself before them, she said, " Voyez it tient encore ci ma personne," words since repeated with transport, and which have, I know not why, made her Royal Highness be compared to Blanche of Castile, the mother of St. Louis. You must have been amused by the proposal of some of our legitirnatists to make the case of the prisoner at Blaye a subject of legal investigation. It is not conceivable that her friends could have wished to see her appear before a public tribunal with all the signs of a pregnancy of so little edifying a nature. There was much bad faith in this proposition, and our Republicans were not more sin cere when she joined in chorus with the Royalists to de mand a trial. What they wanted was something which might give opportunities for riots, and the chance of an overthrow. The Ministers, however, acted with much prudence in not allowing themselves to be intimidated by the united cries of the factions. But what is now to be done with the Countess Hector de Lucchesi Palli ? It is generally believed that she will be sent off to her own country, to try whether domestic happiness will there make her cease to regret the loss of her former greatness. In the mean time it is impossible but that this childbed declaration, these circumstances of a secret marriage, which seem to be brought forward as an afterthought, should not revive the suspicions which have existed respecting the extraordinary birth of the Duke of Bordeaux. It is not easy to reconcile the extreme fondness of the Countess for this new-born daughter, whom she wishes to nurse w i t h her own m ilk, with the little affection she used to show for a son whose lif e wa s so valuable to her, as it promised to se cure to her the highest destiny. It is nut less difficult to explain how she could eo easily separate from him and incur the risk of depriving herself for ever of the happiness of seeing him. It is now reported that we shall Boon have various revelations on this subject, and curiosiiy is more eas ily awakened, as the public mind h as never b een com pletely satisfied respecting the facts. I recollect that, during the July days, certain influential persons then said, ,s Th e suppositious birth, so (men suspected, of the Duke of Bordeaux, may be one day proved. In that case the Duke of Orleans must not be allo we d to i mag i ne t h at toe cro wn has come to him by succession, and that he no longer owes it to the national will and our election. Every thing must, therefore, be so arranged, that, if such an event should occur, be will not dare to appeal to any other right than that which we now confer upon him in the name of the people." You will pardon my dwelling so long on the captive of Blaye ; it is the questio❑ of the moment, and it is rendered much more important by the cr nsequences which may result from it than it would be on its own account. I shall, perhaps, soon have occasion to return to it. Every where Europe seems to be settling into tran quillity. Our hostile factions are evidently sensible of their total defeat, and their follies only excite the pity of a people who, under a sky become suddenly magnificent, as it were, by a sort of coquetry, readily find employment ami resources for the enjoyment of varied and inexhaustible pleasures. Your correspondents have doubtless already told you that Paris was never more animated and brilliant than at present, and the provinces are in unison with the capital. The famous republican dinner of 6,000 persons, which was to have taken place at Lyons, is indefinitely postponed. The Government had determined to disperse this seditious assemblage. Oriental affairs seem to be taking a favourable turn. If there still exist any difficulties, they can only proceed from Russit. Mehemet Ali has acquired a high degree of power, and he will nut compromise the conquests he owes to the last campaign by refusing some concessions of minor importance, requested by Sovereigns whose friendship it is his interest to cultivate. The Frankfort row is a Tugenhund affair, set agoing with too much confidence in assistance from our propagandists. But these tene brous powers are not yet among the number of earthly domination., and' have ton greatly alarmed Germany, and even France to allow them to rely for any sup port fro:n the population. Moderation, which never excludes firmness, will prevent intestine trotOtles, if a general war does not provoke them. With us, the relaxa tion in the Republican excitement has led to the substitu Con of a sort of Napoleonism. Joseph Boon !parte is by some regarded as the heir of the imperial system. It appears that a fraction of the Republican party proposed to unite with him if he would hut limit his pretensions to being President of the Commonwealth. Jo-eph, it is said, has suggested a modification of these overtures. As the empire was overthrown by foreigners, and violence done to the nation, be thinks that the einpire ought to be formally restored, leaving it to the country, through its representatives, to change the constitution. It is possible that Joseph Buonap irte may continue to regard as valid the votes and senatus consulta which placed the in heritance of the imperial crown in his family. He may he seeking in good faith the recovery of a high position, which he considers as of right belonging to him ; but he is a good man, and the enemy of all violence and excess. Rumour has not failed to attribute the visit which the Duke of Orleans his paid you to political combinations. The young Prince will doubtless carefully collect the in formation which he may have an opportunity of obtaining in Great Britain, but it is by no means probable that he has been sent on a special mission. We bear with pleasure of the favourable reception of this Prince, whose amiable character is duly appreciated by alt persons in proportion as they have the honour of approaching him. As to the stories about a marriage between him and the Princess Victoria, nothing can be more absurd. But it should be recollected that the Duke of Orleans is the brother-in-law of King Leopold, and that the Princess Victoria, the destined Queen of England, has the Queen of the Belgians for her aunt and Louis Philip for her grand uncle. This approximation, through the alliances of the reigning families in Francs and Great Britain, has a lirs!orical gularity. Our second suasion is proceeding well, and will produce good fruit. The present Chamber will certainly be dis solved after the session of 1834.; it is by no means pro bable that it will be allowed to reach its fifth year. G. OPORTO. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,-From the interest 1 have observed you take in the cause of Donna Maria and the expedition at Oporto, allow me to communicate to you that I have just received a letter dated the 4th May Iran thence ; it is from a colonel in the Foreign Brigade. He states, among other matters, that upon the 3d, 70 deserters reached them, Mostly cavalry; that the army ale in high spirits, ex ceedingly well fed, &e., although beef is scarce, which, by the way, to Portuguese is no gre it privation ; every other article is in abundance.

REPLY OF DON CARLOS TO THE RING ' S INVITATION TO SWEAR ALLEGIANCE TO HIS DAUGHTER, AT THE Al'- EROACHING CORTES. My well-beloved Brother, &c.—This morning at 10 o'clock, my Secretary Plaza()la came to me to say, that your Minister at this Court, Cordova, had requested to know when it would bo convenient to me to receive a communication of a royal order. He was answered that twelve would be a fitting tire for such a purpose. He returned at a few minutes before one, and I immediately saw him. He presented me with a official paper, which I read, and having done so, I said that my dignil and my character would not permit me to delay in stating that you were my King, and my Lord, and, besides my brother, and always my much loved brother, further endeared to me by having shared in all your misfortunes. You wish to know whether I intend, yes or no, to swear to your daughter, as Princess of Asturias. Now, as far as wishes go, you will believe, because you know me, when-I say that with all my heart would I take that oath, and that nothing would give me greater pleasure than to he the first to recognise your daughter, and to spare you any offence or possible inconvenience which my declining to do so might occasion. But my conscience and my honour do not permit it ; I possess lights so legitimate that I could not divest myself of them—rights which God gave me when it was His pleasure that I entered upon existence, and which God alone can take away, by trans ferring them to a male child of yours, which I desire so much, it may be even more, than you yourself do. More over, in this, I am defending the justice of the rights of all those who are called after me, and therefore, I feel myself called upon to transmit to you the subjoined declaration, which I have made with the greatest formality, and ad dressed to all the Sovereigns to whom I hope you will com municate it. Adios, my well-beloved brother, and be assured that your welfare will be always the first object of the prayers of your affectionate brother, CARLOS. DECLARATION. I, Carlos Maria. Isidoro de Borbon y Borbon, Infante of Spain ; convinced of the legitimate rights which I possess to the Crown of Spain, and assured that your Majesty has no heir-male to the same, do say that neither my conscience nor my honour permit me to swear to, or recognise, any other than those rights, and this I solemnly declare. To the Senor our King, His affectionate brother and faithful vassal, THE INFANT DON CARLOS DE BORION Y BORBON. In the Palace of Ramalimo, the 29th April, BM. FORGED NOTES.--A number of five and ten pound notes, forgeties on the Bank of England, are now in circulation.

It is said that the forgeries, which are badly executed, bear the signatures of " Draper" and " Lister." —Liverpool Albion. PUBLIC MEETING.-DISAIISSAL OF Mi• NISTERS.—At a meeting of the members of the Political Union, on Thursday evening, held at the large room in Mr. CHADWICK'S, it was resolved to hold a public meet ing to consider the propriety of " addressing his MAJESTY to dismiss his present Alinisters, in consequence of their manifest inability to conduct the affairs of the country, and their total unwillingness to relieve the people from the enormous pressure of taxation," which was accordingly announced by placard, and the meeting took place at 12 o'clock yesterday. At the hour appointed not more than 200 or 300 persons were in the square, but in a short time afterwards the numbers were considerably increased, and soon alter 1 o'clock we should say that theme were not less than 6,000 persons assembled. A resolution to the above effect was moved and seconded, but before the Chairman put it to the meeting considerable uproar took place, in consequence of an amendment being moved to the effect, " that the meeting form themselves into an as sociatimm of volunteers," during which the Chairnsan r esigned his office, and the meeting ultimately separated, without effecting the object which they had assembled for. .--Sheffield Iris.

EISTEDDVOD AND CAMBRIAN CONCERT.— This national, charitable, and musical festival was cele brated yesterday at the Freemasons' Hall, and a large as semblage of fashionable and respectable people, all, doubt less, glorying in the blood of ancient Britain, of CARADOC and CADWALLADER, were assembled on the occasion. Sir W. W. WYNN, as President of the Cymmrodorion, occu pied the chief place on the dais, but Lord KENYON acted as the conductor of the day's proceedings. Between the first and second parts the prizes were declared. That for the Ode or Essay, we did not correctly hear which, was not claimed ; but a silver medal was presented to Alastk r HnonEs, a boy of six years of age, for his pl iying on the harp. The concert consisted chiefly of songs, the airs of which were Welch, and many of them fine. ROBERTS, the blind harper for Carnarvon, played two pieces of con siderable length, one of which, " Sweet Richard ; with variations," had obtained for him the prize at Denbigh in 1828, with great delicacy and much rapidity of execution. ROBERTS has a particularly nice hand for the venerable old instrument. Tne Pennillion is a remarkable sort Of musical performance, in which vocal bards accompany al ternately, " ilment alterna camence," an instrumental bard. We should not forget the best objects of this fee tival—v.z., to contribute towards the Welch Charity School. At the conclusion of the concert thanks were proposed and returned to Lord KENYON.
