that she did not possns a todeo-she should have her laws in a small boot accessible to every one, The merit of a code was 'ewer admitted by the nations which had en. joyed one, end the longer it had been known among any particular chin the trotrathey were attached to it, The Bourbons, it was well known, could not have been re e , stored, but that they consented to retain the Sapient) Code, and it was one of the chief grieettoces of theilhi . glans that that code bad been abolished in their country. Yet it was in itself by no means perfect, the simplicity and brevity which distinguished it were its great recommends- flop. The evils of our laws were manifest, and thejnibit which had grown up in this country for the Judas, to nuke the law by the interpretation which they put °wile : Statutes was moat mischievous. The Statute of Frauds was not understood for lfio years e edill Lord Ellenbo rough, in the can of Warner v. Warkers, discovered the true construction. In making that discovery the Noble Lord upset all the previous decisions ern the subject, and the unhappy clients who might have acted under the advice of their lawyers, founded upon previous decisions, would have found themselves In the wrong. It was true that Lord Eldon bad never bowed to Lord Ellenborough's derision in Warne v. Warlters ; but still it ; was admitted at the preeeat day as a binding authority, Under these circumstances be recommended a code. Every contin. gooey most, in some measure, he previded for, and the only question was, whether it ehould7 be provided fir at Tint or at last?, I,le declared that lie bad never felt a comfortable hour in the discherge of the chitin of his profession, for he always felt sure that under our present system of laws, justice was only to be got by accident. After a few observations from Mr. Monett and Mr. Luna Wat.t.astatYi Mr. CAMPBELL said that the lion. and Learned Solicitors General would add to his high character by the measure which he now proposed. The first part of that tOssetitre related to the sale of lands under the Statute of 'Peso& To thet he had no objection, but he much wished that the Honourable and Learned Gentleman Would allow the subject of wills to remain untouched, for that was at present under the consideration of the Commission of which he (Mr. Campbell) had the ho nour to be a Member. The few relating to wills was certainly in a most unsettled and barbarous state, Tinto *witnesses were now required to authenticate a will, which was to pass a quarter of an acre of land, if it happened to be freehold ; while property to the amount of 20,000/. a year might be disposed of, even without any signature, if that property happened to be copy bold ; and the same was the ease with regard to pro perty of any amount in the funds. That, however, was not all, A change of the tenure by which the late' was held would defeat a will. There was the came of the late Lord Erskine, in whose favour a will had .beee made, but_ who lost it because the gentleman who intended to leave it had, after making the will, suffered a recovery, in °Mir, as be supposed, to make all sure in, favour of his legatee. The ace of suffering a recovery. we`e by the °Plat" of .law, a revocation of the will, and though the:testator hail intended just the contrary, Lind Erskine loot the estate. Another evil consisted of the rules of interpretation in met of wills. If a men left another a horse, the legatee received the property in full and absolute possession, but if he left " a field called Elsekacre," to any person, the legatee would only have an estate for life, because the tea tame did not add the words, "his heirs and assigns for ever." As to the point of *decree possession, he agreed witlt the Horn Member for Colchester, that twenty years Of adverse possession ought to give a title, and such was now proposed, to be the. rule, Ile feared that the law never could be made as perfect as the lion. Member for Waterford imagined. Every man could nut be his own lawyer. Law was a sciertee,, and must be acquired, and men would no more be their own lawyers than their own physicians. He feared, too, that even if a coda were in troduced, judge-made law could not be avoided. There was as much judge-made law in France MS in England; their reports were more numerous than our own, and' wherever there was law there would arise cases net exactly - foreseen, and then the Judges must become the law's'in• terpreters, and to that extent the law-makers. Mr. HUME was happy to bear so many reformers on every side of the House; and since the lion. and Learned Gentleman had thus frankly stated his opinions on the subject of adverse possessions, perhaps it might be allow oble to ask Not whether the preprint as to twenty yearis adverse 'immersion gitring title was to he applicable to thatch property? lie asked the question because lie thought the time.was come when church property ought to be put on the same footing as other property ? Mr. CAMPBELL thought that, in cases of church property, this rule ought to be applicable eo (Sr as it could. ,Tisot at : leest was his private opinion. He had devoted a great part if the late vacation to framing such a law. chat law must be framed differently from laws relating to other property, for church property was held upon so many and such various tenures. It was his wish that the church should preserve all its present possessions—(A laugh)—but that the litigations now daily arising with reepect to the tithes should be at an end. That would be beneficial to the church, and, as a hind of the church, he should recommend it. The SOLICITOR.GENF,RAL regretted that the quo.. tarn as to church property heti been put to his Hon. and Learned Friend, as that matter was not yet in a state to ' be presented to the public. As to the other questions now , under the consideration of the House, there was lost one upiaion ; but the question was as to the time at which the bontetion was to take effect ? Ile was opposed to a code. ' ~ We had, at present, the finest body of laws in the world, and it was not necessary for the Hon. Member for Middle am to understand them as well ns a lawyer,—(A laugh.) Law wee, and must be, a science, and it would he the greatest possible curse when it was not so, and when at'ery Me could understand it, for at that instant certainty would hive flown. If to4norrow the plainest law possible were to be made, in time the interpretation of that law would . become matter of science. lie maintained that in no country in the world were there, as in Engl and, Ha many means of limitation, with regard to an estate, so as to KC• cure a life enjoyment to the owner, and a prevision for Isis (Amity after his death, All thitt was not to be accom plished by the simple declaration "it shall be am" The most fixed words were required for such a purpose --(Hear, liesr).....and it was for Hon. Members who cried " Hear, hear !" to learn these words. Ile repeated, that if the law was attempted to be reduced to a code, our cer• tainty in it would be gone, and "certainty," as the law said, " was the mother of repose " The law bad a pe culiar language, which it required time to understand ; and whet he said it was riot necessary for the Doss. Mew bar fur Middlesex to understand it, he meant that the mart who devoted his attention to other eubjects, must not ex pect to be able to understand the law. He did not pre tend to rival that lion. Member in a knowledge of finance, and that Hon. Member could hardly expect to be equal in his knowledge of the law to those who had studied it all their lives. He trusted that the measure he was now shout to introduce would satisfy the treat wishes of the country. ....Leave given. OFFICERS IN THE ARMY AND NAVY. Mr. HUME complained that the officers of the army were too numerous. It might be supposed that the numbers of the officers were limited by the numbers of the army. It was no such thing. Two or three years tigo the Cotrantinder•in•Chief had made a supernumerary corps of officers, and the consequence of this would he, that our pension list would be shortly much increased. Ile wished to know the number of unattaehed.officere from December, 182% to June, MO, and he moved for a return to that effect. Sir 11. HARDINGE had no ohjeotion to the return, and if the Noble Lord connected with that department had anticipated any observatione, he would have been there to have answered them. The uoittiched officer', were taken from those on half-pay, and the manner in which that had beers done would, he wail ewe, 'when it had been explained, meet with the epproliation of the public.---Returns ordered. Mr. HUME then moved for retries of Officers pro meted since the accession of his•present Majesty, and for an account of the additioirel - expense thus created. He knew that it bad been the cottons to make promotions on the accession of a never King, hat the time had pose by when we could afford ..to allow such an increase of our expenditure. • Sir H. HARDINGE said that whenever the question fairly came before the House, it would be found that the promotions referred to did not much increase thin expenNe. Her did not object to the return, Mr. HIJME moved for returns of the half-pay of the regular troops, sod of the half-pay of the militia. It had been said that the half.pay was retained in this mariner, as a security for the future services of the officers who re- Wood it. That, however, was not the case ; for whets he, on a former occasion, moved for a return of the officers who were receiving half-pay, and who were acting as (dergynnli in the country, it was said there were none who were so acting ; hot some time afterwards it was dim covered that about forty of throe persons were receiving half-pay.—The returns were ordered. The report relative to the state of the British posses.' sloes Weed ordered to lee rewind on Thureday next. SIJSSEX: JURY HILL Mr. W. BURRELL reeved slut seeinid reading of tt... Sussex Jury Bill. • Mr. CAMPBELL rose to oppose tbs Bill, And said he should take the sense of the 'louse epee it. If carried into effect, it would produce a roust important 41ttrition in the Yury Law, as established by tile BRA( 1826. by that law the number of Special Juries was to ha reduced by chance. The present Bill proposed to erect a division of the county of: Suss Ox into the two districts of Horsham and Lewes; and' . :tra create one, for one of these divi sions, and anoer for the :remaining one. He was opposed to Altell a division, and thought that the law ought to he nnifotm. It was said that this Bill was intro. ducesi on , account of the inconvenient distance of the Assize town, from different parts of the country. But the samts4thjection, though eicisting more strongly with tespeo to the Common that the Special Jury, was not merle in their favour. In Somerretshire, and in Surrey, the Assizes afire held in three places ; in Norfolk, in h'"lierkshire ) and in Buckinghamshire at tett ; if the principle of this Bill was good ) Other Acts ought to be passed dividing those toUnties into as many districts as there were assße ttWns in them. But he objected to the Bill on another principle, namely, that it would iterate to the 'prejudice of plaintiffs in some east% Suppose a poor man brought an action agaitibt Magistrate for illegally committing him to prom Walt that action to be tried by a iury of brother Magistrates selected from the same dia.' triet with the defendant? Certainly not, It - asides, as this. Bill %vas now framed, the selectiqu of the Jury must depend on the district division n the county in which the assizes were held. That town depended on the will of the Judge, In Sussex itself the assizes were once hell at East Citinstead ; and suppose the Judges should choose to hold the assizes at Brighton (which he thought would soon be found to be most convenient), what would become of this Bill? He thought that in every way the Bill was objectionableond be should therefore move that it be read a second time this day six months. Mr. IletillES seconded the amendment Mr. W. lIURRELL contended that Juries in the Western Division of the county would be just as impar tial as Juries from the' ounty generally. If any suspicion arose, it waswell known that in cases of Special Juries the parties to the action might strike off whom they pleased. Mr. O'CONNELL referred to one county of Ireland Which was similarly circu Mstanced to Sussex, anti expressed his hope that the principle of the Bill would be extends(' to the Sister Kingdom. He . repelled the objection taken to narrow and local jurisdictions, anti argued that it Was highly beneficial that every poor man should have a law shop near his home. In England neither party bad an advantage over the other, as juries were drawn by lot. Sir J. Stizt.t.xv, Sir E. KNaircilauLL, and Sir C. BUR.- mat supported the Bill. Mr. JOHN WOOD thought the principle of the Bill so good that he would have it extended to other counties of England requiring the same change ; and be particu larly instanced Lancashire, where the assizes were held in a remote Corner of the county, whither suitors, witnesses, and jurors were obliged to repair. This circumstance of itself operated as a denial of justice to the poor. Mr. CURTEIS was happy to hear from his Hon. Friend (Mr. W. Burrell) that he intended, in the Com mittee, to extend the provisions of the Bill to Common as well as to Special Juries. He hoped that the principle would he extended to other counties. Lord monporii expressed his opinion that stieh a measure could be advantageously applied to Yorkshire. A 51E - atuxu under the Gallery wished it to be applied to Sornersetshire. Mr. CAMPIUML withdrew hie amendment, in defer ence to the opinion of the !louse. The Bill was then read a second tune, And the Commit tee fixed for 'Friday. SLAVERY. Lord NORRIS presented a petition from a town in the county of Waterford,. praying the abolition of slsvery. The Noble Lord observed, that he would take care in fu ture to nut his name on the Speaker's list before. that of the Hon. Member for 'Waterford (Mr. O'Connell), as for three nights he had been 'detained for duce hours, while that lion. Gentleman excited debate. Mr. RUTIIVEN, as an Irishman, could not tamely listen to such personal attacks. Mr. HUME also protested against such irregular refer ences to the Parliamentary conduct of any Member. If the Noble Lord wanted to get away from the House early, he ought to have attended earlier. This night the debate had been produced by an attack on the honour and charac ter of his lion. Friend (Mr. O'Connell), who was driven into the dismission in mere self-defence. The SPEAKER observed, that as the Noble Lord was a young Member, he had not noticed the remark, which was certainly irregular. This House was not the place where the attendance of Members should be made a matter of complaint ; but he thought that the Noble Lord had meant what he said merely in good humour. The petition having been brought up, _ Mr. O'CONNELL - askd that lie ceu - rted the censure of those who could frivolously assail a Menthor for attend ance in the discharge of his duty. Ile huh no connection with Ministers, and expected nothing from them ; and if the Noble Lord would consult only hie conscience in his vote, and do as much for Ireland as he (Mr. O'Connell) had done, more fa►ne would attend the Noble Lord than had belonged to any of his ancestors than he had ever heard of. The SPEAKER interposed. The lion. Gentleman ha , ' not the excuse of being a new Member ; and it wee highly irregular to urge imputations, more especially pro spectively. A comparison of Parliamentary conduct was nei►her fair nor regular. Mr. °TONNELI. Was convinced at once that he had been in error; awl the personal nature of the attack of the Noble Lord WWI his only excuse.. The petition Was then laid upon the table. Mr. PRINGLE presented a petition from the Presby tery of Selkirk against slavery. Mr. GISIIMINE presented a similar petition from Stafford. Sir W. FOULKES presented eight petitions, with the Name prayer, from towns of Norfolk. Air. MIME presented a petition against slavery, frotn the Wesleyan Metho , lists of flarrow-on-the-11111. Sir E. 14131111150 N prebented a petition of the same kind from the Borough of Eye. PENDAIIVES prettunted a like petition from a town of (..l“rourall. Air. AIUN.DY presented eight petitions from Derbyshire against slavery. lie would not move that they should Le printed, on account of the great expellee, attended by no corresponding advantage. Air. O'CONNELL hoped that the lion. Mernha would take pare to vote against every other useless expellee. DUELLING. Mr. SHAW presented a petition from the Pastor and Members of the Congregation of Ebenezer Chapel, Ifar rnoripirow, Dublin, against Duelling. GAhIF, LAWS. Lord MORPETII presented a petition from James liammerton, flarrister.at-law, a landed proprietor, anti a Magistrate of Yorkshire ; and, as he expressed it in his petition " an ardent and persevering sportsman," for an alteration in the Game Laws, particularly as regarded qualification. The Noble Ltort said that his own view of the subject was, that property, however limited, ought to confer qualification, and he would not convent to its being raised above 201. in land. The same Nour,E Loan presented a petition from Martin Stapyluin, late candidate for the representa. tioti of 'Yorkshire, praying that no Member should be allowed to sit and vote until he had taken an oath that he had not committed any breach of the laws against bribery and corruption.—lt was laid upon the table. QUEENIIOIIOI7OII ELECTION. Mr. Alderman THOMPSON presented a petition from Mr. Capel and Mr. Gladstone, complaining of the return at the late election for Queenborough.—lt was ordered to he taken into consideration on the 30th Nor. The same llotr. Mrstr►rtt gave notice, as we under stood, that on Monday nest he would submit a motion re lative to the payment of rates, as connected with the right of voting.—Adjourned at Eight o'clock. Sir ROBERT WjGBAM, Bart., died in his Stith year, at Walthamstow House, Essex. The Worthy Baronet was born at Wexford, in PM, and was the lineal descendant of the ancient family of Errx-Wtoitam, in he. land, whose arms and supporters were granted to him and his heirs by hit Majesty 0 xottaz the Third. Sir Roaear represented his native town of Wexford at the Union, and was Chairman at the meeting of the Mer chants and Bankers during the alarming period of the Freud' Revolution; a Vice-President of the Pitt Club ; and with his two eons in Parliament gave an uniform support to that Minister. lie has died immensely rich.

POREIGN INTELLUSIENCn. FRENCH PAPERS. DEBATE of the CHAMBER of DEPUTIES on the LIBERTY of the I'RESS.—Nov. 7. The Order of the Day was the discussion of the propo sition of M. Bayou' re►ative to the newspapers and pe riodieal publications. M. Audrey de Puyrateau spoke in favour it the pro position, but so indhlinetly that we were unable to hear him. AL de Laborae—The liberty of the Press has lately been extended to very wide limits by the laws; but is still shackled by the duty which, being of Itself a law, has _given rise to the proposition of my honourable friend M. Bavoux. We must, therefore, first examine if this dimi 'teflon of the duty, or rather this extension of liberty, may give birth to any political objection, and also if it coincides with our ideas of justice and equity when consi dered under a financial point of view. It is certaitily, not going too fir to say that the unlimited libetty of the press offers the remedy close to the danger— the antidote with the poison. But in order that such may be really the case, the means of procuring information must be purchases! at so cheap a price, that every one may be able to distinguish error from truth, and investigate the true situation of the country. Thus, supl•osing a news paper which now costs SO francs a-year to cost only the half of that sum, we may be certain that the same man who expended 80 francs will not discontinue to do so, for he will subscribe to two papers instead of one, finding in this very freedom of the press the best and shortest means o f guarding against its licence and ascertaining truth. But if this extension offers such great advantages in conse quences of the contest arising from differences of opinion, what far Beater advantages should we reap from the mani festations of useful and wholesome truths, and from the unlimited scope given to the numerous brsocbes of know ledge and science which tend to produce ameliorations in every kind of industry, and, above all, to restore the public confidences and security, by representing the situation of the country as it really exists ? And indeed, gentlemen, in what moment do we wish to put a restraint on this extension of the liberty of the Press? At the very moment when it would be so truly useful to let every hamlet, every cottage, know our real situation ; when it is so important that the Prince who governs us should become known to all ; 'when, in fine, there are such cogent reasons to publish the acts of the pre sent Ministry, who have mule no kind of condition what soever in taking charge of the public affairs ; for the only condition of devoteduess to the Prince and to the country is the consciousness of being useful to both. In regard to the financial side of the question, the only thing to be considered is, whether the duty is to be sup ported by the publishers or the readers ; fur it is evident that hitherto the latter, and not the former, have been obliged to pay the tax. Those who deal in this article of commerce, as I may say, sell it dearer because it costs them dear. But they would diminish their prices if the first did not, as it were, suck theii best blood; and in deed, were they disposed to refuse, ficessity would force them to it, for soothes piper of the same opinion, perhaps better written, and above all much cheaper, would rise against them. Such was not the ease before the enactment of the last law, for at that period the number of the newspapers was limited, and thus • formed a kind of privilege to which every one was obliged to submit, and which created a downright coalition, delivering into the hands of eight or ten journals the monopoly of public opinion, and the free. dom of thought. • I shall say the same thing of the cautionntment, which, forming a kind of continual restraint, obliges the journalist to sell his paper dearer. The cautionnement has been looked upon as a measure of coercion, whilst it ought really to have been inertly a guarantee, and even that not amounting to more than the most heavy fine imposed by the tribunal. It is therefore evident that the duty on this branch of industry is applied improperly. Such is not, however, the opinion of the honourable reporter of the conunisaion, who wishes to see a preference shown to sonic other branches of industry, its if the first of all was not the one whose sole aim and end is to render all others as perfect as possible. The honourable reporter thinks it much better to fatten the cattle.—(Laughter)--and to guard them against the dangers of the epitlemy.—(Cheere.)—lndeed, I am very far from wishing that the cattle should not be fattened— (General laughter).—but I think it wrong ti, shackle the liberty of the Press, and that an enormous duty should he laid on the most important of all branches of commerce the importation of intellect.—(Cheers.) I vote foCtbst• proposition of AL Bavoux, w M imin dm a s a ffi l ar4,ll make known hereafter. a • M. de Lameth—Gentlemen, during the last two months we have constantly seen the moat seditious and insolent placards put up against the walls of the city, and I um greatly astonished that such excesses have not yet been re. pressed. Before the revolution of July the newspapers rendered immense services to France and to the cause of liberty, and yet we should expose those same papers to ruin, were we to allow other publications, intended to overthrow the whole edifice of society, to contend with them. It is said that the good sense of the public will disavow every thing exaggerated and false, but such an answer is none for me, as I know many persons, very enlightened and endowed with great information, who are utterly destitute of com mon sense.—(Laughter.) The newspapers in question are continually appealing to the sovereignty of the people. It is indispensible to ascer tain the true sense of the word. Yes, undoubtedly the people is sovereign, when it names its deputies, but then it abdicates its power immediately after, fir thirty-two millions of men cannot altogether give in their votes relative to a law, and when the journals speak of the sovereignty of the people in any other sense, they render all kind of government utterly imps sible. According to toy opinion the sovereignty of the people is nothing else but the proclamation of the rights of men who ought not to have any at all.--(Murmurs from the left.)---Such are the excesses which I deem it indis pensable to repress, and in order to do so, I think that the Ministry ought first of all to make use of the sovereignty of the law against those who publish any thing whatever without conforming themselves to the provisions of the law. I myself arrested one of the public criers who was selling in the streets different proclamations, pretended extracts of the Monileur, and announcing a declaration of war with Austria. It is thus that news and rumours of the most chinning nature are circulated in the public.— No, it is impossible to conceal that there exists an ultras democratical tendency ; the republican party bee already made many efforts to attain its end, and I shall only quote one single fact in support of my amnions. The very day that we were assembled here to deliberate On the meaaures' to be adopted in the then existing circumstances, a Mem ber whom I did not know entered the Chamber, seated himself at the extreme left, where lie is at this very inn went--I mean M. %mad. He soon ruse and said, whilst we are deliberating the people is acting, the republic is to be proclaimed at five u'elock,—(Every eye was turned to M. Bernard.)—This piece of news put nn end to our deliberations ; we immediately proceeded to the l'alais Royal, and the Lieutenant-General was proclaimed King. I therefore exhort the Ministry to pursue without mercy all those petty journals who make a ts sac of tumult and disorder ; I entreat the Ministry to put an end to those illegal publications, whose influence is so fatal to the public ciedit. Paris seems no more to be the capital of a vast kingdom ; foreigners fly from a country where the very ground trembles under their feet ; the rich retire to the country ; and all these ealzunities are the comic (plenty of the licence of the press. I vote against a pro position which tends to overthrow the last barrier which remains to keep it within some bounds. M. Bernard—Gentlemen, 1 did not intend to speak on the subject at present, but I think myself bound to relate a fact of some importance, which hits been misAaated. The Nun. Gentleman who has just spoken is in the wrong, and his memory has failed him. When I entered the Chamber, a very small number of Deputies were deliberating on the gravity of the events I spoke of the danger of the mo ment, of the disorders that were to be prevent e d, of the measures that ought to be adopted ; I said that the people was desirous of offering the Crown to the man most worthy of it, and whose nu ne was re, echoed by every one—(Cheers) —but never, no, never did I say, that at such an hour, and at a certain signal, the Republic was to be proclaimed. I said that we ought to hasten OUT deli berations, in order to be the first to make the offer. Such are the explrnitions I had to give. M. de Luneth maintained that he had positively heard the above words. At. Witte, Minister of the Finances —I had the honour of being 'President of the Assembly in quemion, and I de clare that I did not hear the wordsattributeiltoM. Bernard. M. Benjamin Constant then pronouneq4l A very eloquent speech in favour of the prop - sition of Al t Th ismix . In speaking of the partiaana of a IlepubEct he terminated au follows : 44 In the beginning of August, Wor e t h e na ti on had come t o any determination, the opiniona might he different, the Republic might find zealous partiaaua, for a Republik; has in itself aumething very attractive for men of noble and 01CM/1d minds, and then they wept, entitled to make known their wishea, hut. nobody can infer from what took place then that the Republic ie 6tiii r egrotte d. During Ale last thirteen years I have never tented to maintain that the moral, political, military, commercial, and geographical situation of France eeuld not admit of a Republic. At preseut no one wishes for any better Republic than that Merned by a ConstitAtional Monarch, who respects and enliarges,our liberties. ~flyP therefore,, mat. be frightened bt'S mere plian vi 4ema g ogy ; but particular attention ought to be pn tta.those men who now make an appeal to demago gical excesses with the same pen which served them on the 23d and 24th.of July, to call down despotism on the de voted heads of the friends of liberty. I remember having read in an English historian, that, after the death of Charles I. the cavaliers suddenly affected to support the most exaggerated principles of the republic. When Charles 11. returned, they as suddenly abjured the above pridciples ; and on being asked why they has! thus changed, they answered,—as long as the legitimate sovereign was not on the throne, we pushed these principles to an ex treme, in order to make the nation disgusted with them ; but now such policy would be useless, and we therefore give it up. " I entreat you, therefore, not to trust those men who attack the basis of our institutions with so much exagge ration ; no, never trust them ; hut if, instead of arguing, they were to attempt to act, I imagine that Government would soon put down their efforts, remembering that Louis-Phillippe is henceforward our only anchor of hope." —(Bravo, brava M. Sehastiani, Minister of the Marine—(Profound silence)—Gentlemen, the proposition submitted to your investigation contains two questions : one of them is a question of finance, and is not without some degree of im portance at a moment when the public revenues are dimi nished by the refusal of certain departments to pay a tax legally imposed by the Chambers. You cannot give up the most trifling portion of those revenues without injuring the public credit. The financial resources of France are immense, but they must be made use of with discretion and even `parsimony, and you cannot abandon any portion of those resources without doing serious damage to society Ut large. • The question of the ectutionnemeni has not yet been po sitively determined by the Government. In this grand question of the liberty of the pleas, the Government is far from disacknowledging the immense services it has rendered to the country. We know that the press had the principal share iu the glorious struggle which you accom plished. The Editors of the Journals, after having dis played the greatest talent, signed a protestation which ex posed their heads to the block. After this protestation they ran to arms, and fought for liberty and for truth, for the maintenance of our institutions. We now have that liberty so dearly bought, let us think of preserving it for ever. The courage of the noble population of Paris was only equalled by its generosity after victory. Gentlemen,—We declare that no measure of coercion shall be proposed by the Government, nor even tolerated by it against the liberty of the press ; but the laws now in vigour shall be fully enforced ; without that no society can exist. It is thus that we understand the question. We do not wish to compromise the liberty of the press, whose services we highly proclaim.—(Whispering at the left, marks of disapprobation.) I have here one of the printed papers profusely eircu !atm! this morning in Paris. (Hear, hear.) They were spoken of a few minutes ego. Certainly nothing can be more culpable than the proclamation in question; it con tains nothing but falsities: for instance, it announces a de claration of war with Prussia, and a levy of five hundred thousand men. Nothing of the kind has taken place. On the contrary, the Cabinet of Berlin evinces the most amicable and peaceful disposition ; it was one of the Int to acknowledge in the new Government of France a gua rantee of security for all Europe. No, Gentlemen, the King of the French is far Iran thinking of a levy of five hundred thousand men, and the only measures adopted to that intent are to complete the number of acldiers rosin tabled in time of peace. In consequence of the discussion, I am led to speak of the political system of the government.—(Attention. ) Peace abroad, peace at home. As for the interior, we intend to secure all that heklatain promised by the charter, to enforce the execution of the present legislation, to pro pose ameliorations, and to enlarge all our liberties. In regard to our external relations, lam again obliged to mention them. Yesterday the Government was called upon to make known its line of conduct in a most strange and unexpected manner. An important question was tondo, and a Royal docutnent was spoken of. Well, gentlemen, the document in question is known by all. It proves evidently that the British cabinet wishes nothing but peace. A 3 for the comments which might possibly be made on this document, you may find them in the dis cussiora of the two English Houses of Parliament, and in the speech of the head of the &With cabinet to the House of Lords. He has said in the most formal and explicit manner that the English Government was against all kind of armed interference in the affairs of Belgium. France on her aide is willing to execute punctually all her prece dent engagements, and all stipulations existing already. The negociatione will be all of a pacific nature, and we do not think that any armed interference will be ever ne cessary. France, solely engrossed with her internal pros perity, will never think of war, but in came of an invasion or of an attache made against her national honour.---(Bravos.) The House then adjourned till Monday.-- Constitutionnel. (Extr - act from the Pati.iote.) The Kings of old Europe are still the earner—nothing can correct them ; their ideas upon the interior policy of their states, their principles of diplomacy, even their pre. poaterous pretensions, are what they were five or six cen turies ago, in spite of the progress of- public intelligence. Indeed, if hereditary power be good in itself, as conducive to the tranquillity of nations, let us allow that it is at tended with one evil,—it perpetuates in reigning dynasties vices of government which are quite contrary to the ideas of philanthropy and to the principles of the liberty of na. tions. The speech of the King of England is each year a new proof of its. truth, and that which William IV. pronounced on the 2d of November is perhaps still more characteristic than tyise of hie predecessor and royal col leagues; With an appearance of simplicity, it is not less vague," less deceptive, less absolute. There is no doubt that the French revolution of July last is the most memo rable event of the present year ; it holds, in consequence, the lust rank in the English speech ; but one remarks with surprise, that it is only named as if in remembrance of Its taking place, and to announce, what every body knows, that amicable and diplomatic relations with the court of France have not been interrupted. But what cannot escape the observation of any one is, that this re volution is stated to be merely the substitution of the younger branch of the House of Bourbon in the place of the elder branch, and not a word is uttered with regard to the events which have caused the admission of the principle of national sovereignty. The nation in all this is nothing,—kings are all things. " Our rela tions," Kays the speech, ." continue with the Court of France." What a pity ! It is not thus that we consider our revolution. We doubtless love and esteem our preirent King, hut our feelings towards his person relate to his per sonal qualities alone ; it is not as regards a change of sovereign that the importance of our revolution strikes us. Itia the regeneration of the political system and of social order that interest us principally. Englend, free and con stitutional as sits seems to be, is in great. want of a peli ties! s couring : Lord Wellington knows it, but , lie drew's it— a nd it is t ot for nothing that he puts into the mouth of his King the language with which we reproach him. The paragraph relating to the kingdom of the Netherlands is rernarlothle : after all that has taken place, can one he thus far,blind to truth, or attack more openly the opinion of Europe, the laws of justice and humanity ? " The administration of the King of this country was en lightened, his measures were wise and prudent, his people arc rebel,. . . ." This is incomprehensible. The. Mas sacres of &wads, the war in Belgium, the treachery at Arena, and the destruction of that great city, are not to be taken into censideration—tbe people are to be treated as rebels, the King as a wile, prudent, and enlightened men . Can one forget the injuries inflicted by Hol land upon wretched Brabant the Belgians, who only understood French, obliged to plead and to contract in Dutch, to pay the debts of Holland and to support her an t es, to submit to the decrees of Judges dependent on the will of the Prince, to bear the oppressions of the functionaries of all kinds named by the Dutch without the p ow er of petitioning or of writing ? And this is what William the Fourth terms the administration of a wise, prudent, and enlightened King? We shall see what will result from the plans of the King of England and his Allies for. the welfare of the Netherlands and for the security of other Suite, ; but as the Speech does not deign to say a word of heroic Belgium, nor of the infamous acts committed against her, we fear greatly that all that is pre paring for the security of other States is a . general and terr ibl e war from one end of Europe to the other. Haat be the measure to which we are to be led by these elligust negotiators, we wilt make an appeal to the liberty of all n r.tiene, we will cry.--" To arms to arms !"and we shall se e to whom the victory will remain. The affairs of the other States of Europe that have manifested any feelin g. of liberty, are not .treated in is leas cavalier or less am biguous owner, which is very een,, n i story for oppressed nations- The queation of Portugal carries the scandalous policy of this document to its highest pitch, A traitor, perjured usurp" , has taken POlseiiiliou of the crown, voted with the authority of hie brother, he has violated b force and deception the trust confided to him. Thye robber of the throne of his niece has pillaged the people, annihilated public credit and commerce, anal has sacri ficed as many victims as Robespierre. The per- Humes English Government will deceive no one; and Since- it persists in its treacherous principles, we will unmask it to the eyes of the world. We will not follow William through the other parts of his speech, which are less interesting to foreigners, but we will ask if it be in the 19th century, in 1830, after the revolution that has taken place in France, and which threatens all despotic Governments, that a King should allow himself to say, in speaking of the nation b y which be is gorged with honours and riches, "My people," " my subjects," " my dominions," " my possessions," " my Parliament." These expressions, which would be ill chosen were they not insulting, are no longer adapted to the times, reason condemns them, and the language of Kings must take a more moderate tone. A King should respect the people as the president of an assembly should respect the public present at its sittings; and in future Monarchs will obtain no respect but that which they deserve. We who raise our voices against their pretensions, we shall be the first to give the example of respect and submission to a Kint who, comprehending the real greatness of his high mission, knows how to render himself worthy of it. All the poli tical questions, connected with William's Speech, cannot find a place in a single article. We propose to consider, in order of succession, different points of English diplo macy; it is, perhaps, the greatest service we can render, as writers, to France, who has always been the victim of her treacherous neighbours. POSTPONEMENT OF THE ROYAL VISIT TO THE CITY. The lateness of the hour, and the press of Parliamentary matter, having prevented us yesterday from giving a full accouct of the proceedings towards the conclusion of the discussion in the Court of Common Council, we consider it fitting to report the observations of the other members of the Court who spoke upon the important ociaisioa. In Mr. PransoN's speech, that gentleman, when ex plaining hie motives for having written a letter to the Duke of Wellington, alluded to, and distinctly mentioned the as sembling of the people at the Rotunda, on the Surrey side of Blackfriars-bridge, where, he said, the crowd were ad vised to arm themselves for the purpose of accomplishing a revolution, " Now, he asked, with a knowledge of all the facts which lie had enumerated, had not he done right in making a representation to the Duke, not only for the safety of his Grace, but to save the numerous starving in dividuals from the calamities which, in a period of tumult or excitement, might betel them ?—(Cries of ' No, no,' and hear.)—He felt quite satisfied himself of the propriety of the course he had pursued ; anti, as he never did any thing in secret, he had informed the Chairman of the Royal Committee of what he had done."—(Disapproba tion, and cries of hear.) Mr. THORNHILL denied that the advice of the Mini sters resulted from the letter of the Lord Mayor. It had been publicly stated that other communications had been made, and the Court ought to have the whole, and not a mere part of the facts.—(Hear.)—After the statement of the Lord Mayor elect, no one could think of pressing haul upon him, but it was important to state that the alarm so strangely excited had nothing to rest upon. It had been said In the letter that anonymous communications were received, doubting the safety of the Duke, and upon that ground the Duke doubted the safety of the King.— , (Laughter. )—To such a mode of reasoning could the Court think a moment of agreeing. The King would in ' deed have been received with enthusiasm and warm affec tion. The respect for him, if there were no other cause, would have secured a protection for his Ministere, and the city would have become a scene of rejoicing instead of being one of horror and confusion.—(Hear, hear.)---A worthy Member had thought proper to speak of the Ro tunda, near Illackfriars-bridge, as a place stocked with all the dreadful ingredients of tumult and sedition. If the visitors to that place were ever to have power to do se rious mischief, it must be in consequence of the dastardly conduct of those who considered them dangerous. Rome had been saved by the cackling of geese; perhaps Eng land was to be lost now by the noise of the same sort of animal.—(Loud laughter and deers. )—ln fact, the dread of danger was a mere dream, the shadow of a shade,— (Cries at " Hear, hear," and " No, no.") Mr. ROUTH then made some observations, which bad a very great and palpable effect upon the Court. A great deal too much stress had, he said, been laid upon the Lord Mayor elect's letter to the Duke, which had been by no means so improperly, as was argued, transmitted to his Grace. He should state another conviction upon his mind—neithei of the letters alluded to in that Court had produced the result which was so greatly deplored. The communication of his Lordship had no doubt some effect ; but his Majesty's Ministers had been urged by more weighty considerations—by the knowledge of facts—which would, no doubt, soon be divulged, and which abundantly satisfied theta as a justification. He hoped the Court would go as far as a declaration of loyalty could go, in their resolutions ; but he trusted that censure would not pass when it was not deserved. Although nothing could remove all responsibility from the Lord Mayor elect, as re garded the letter, it was far, very far from being the sole cause of the decision of the Cabinet.—(Hear, hear.) — Mr. Routh concluded by proposing his amendment, which averted all !Amite from the Lord Mayor. Mr. lionise said he nevertheless thought the Court ought to express itself strongly on the occasion, and he should therefore persevere in his moving the resolution, Mr. TICKNIN said the information before the Court was not sufficient to furnish them with the means of al laying the apprehensions of the public, excited by the mea sure recommended by his Majesty's Ministers. He wished fora select Special Committee. Mr. STMCNO ridiculed the idea that the Royal Com• mittre wag poaseased of any extraordinary knowledge upon that or any other subject. The ainendment was carried by a large majority. The Counr then discussed a variety of propositions on the question of the disappointment, but there was so much strong uncoutroullable feeling amongst the members, aria ing from the severs blow so recently dealt upon them, that the more steady and reflecting portion laboured till ten o'clock before they could make an impression on the rest. It happened that, in the course of the evening an Even ing Paper was introduced, which contained the speech of Mr. Peel, on the all-absorbing subject of the disappointment. Some of the most exasperated members of the Court immediately seized upon this statement of the Right Hon. Gentleman, which threw the onus of the disappointment upon the shoulders of the Lord Mayor Elect, as a justifi cation of the most harsh measures. It was immediately urged by those who relied implicitly on the Speech, that the• Lord Mayor Elect was unfit to fill the Chair of the city, and a movement was apparent in the Court for the exclusion of his Lordship. Mr. Lenora rose to declare that he considered the Lord Mayor Elect to be wholly incompetent to fill the important situation of Chief Magistrate, particularly at a period of apprehended danger. Ili, Majesty's Ministers had, it was now evident, acted upon the letter which had been so pro perly the subject of animadversion, and it would no longer be prudent to delay the expression of the sentiment of the Court. Ile made some further observations upon the necessity of inflicting upon the Lord Mayor Elect the mild penalty of exclusion from the Mayoralty. For this sentence there were some advocates in the Court, but the opposition was overwhelming. Ur. TICKNEE, expressed a great deal of indignation at the proposition just made. The speech that had been made by the lion. Secretary had made an impression very dif ferent indeed from that which had been testified in the ob servations of the worthy Gentleman who had just sat Mown. He thought it rather extraordinary that the Mi nister should thrust forward the letter of the Lord Mayor Elect—privately communicated as a caution to the Duke of Wellington himself—as a ground for recommending the King not to visit his loyal subjects, and thus raising alarm, fur which there did not appear to be the most remote oc casion.—(lfear, hear.) He considered that the Lord Mayor Elect bed been made the scape-goat of the Cabinet, That nothing could more effectually demonstrate the weak ness of the Government than the eagerness with which the Minister seized upon this really unimportant communica tion. In fact, he considered that the Duke of Wellington, aware that he would not be received with caresses, and not wishing to let other nations know that he required a body guard to conduct him into the city, was glad to get hold or an excuse for not entering the gates, resolved to advise that which might serve to make his Majesty participate in the unpopularity.--(llear, hear.) After some stormy discussion, Mr. Tickner's motion of adjournment was carried ; but not before the Recorder was called upon to give his opinion whether it was absolutely necessary that the Lord Mayor Elect should be sworn in according to the usual forms that night. To this question the Reconven replied, that it was im perative upon the Court of Aldermen to swear in the Lord Mayor elect. In cooformity with this opinion, the Locum Tenet's, the Members of the Court of Aldermen, the Court of Common Council, and the City Law Authorities and Officers, repaired to the Guildhall, and the Lord Mayor elect was regularly sworn in at about half-pest ten o'c:oek. Yesterday morning the Royal Committee assembled and there were current, amongst these in the Hall, reported a I very agreeable nature.

It is also nece.sary to state that, in the course OA" cession in the Common Council, Sir C. S. Huntetilfno quently alluded to as the experienced person to Otos the Lord Mayor elect was indebted for the adVice to OA W the Duke of Weilington.
