FRENCH PAPERS.. (From the Journal du Commerce of Sunday.) Paars, Fes. 9.—A private letter from Lisbon of the 27th January, gives the following news : " Yesterday the Portuguese Government positively re fused to grant the satisfaction required by the French Go vernment. A brig of war was immediately despatched to convey this intelligence to France. " The French Government demanded that the Com manders of the forts should be dismissed, and that it should be announced in the Gazette that they were dis missed in consequence of the remonstrances of the French Government. The Portuguese Ministry replied, that such a satisfaction would he too humiliating to the Government, and would make it lose the confidence of its own nation ; that, in consequence, it was obliged to refuse what was required, but that it depended on the acknowledged gene rosity of the French nation. 41 p.S.—I have just learned from authority which ap pears worthy of credit, that the French Consul has just been changed ; he is a man respected by all parties, and has resided many years at Lisbon." (From theilessager des Chambres of Sunday.) PARIS, FEB. 9.—The legitimatist party is not dis couraged. Will it be believed that to-day, the 9th of Feb., in broad day light, at one o'clock in the afternoln, there was posted on the very door of the Palais de Justice, in the sight and with the knowledge of the whole quarter, an enormous placard in three columns, the object of which was to excite the people in favour of the prisoners at Ham, and of the Duchess of Berry. But what is still more in conceivable is, that for nearly two hours that this pamph let remained exposed to view, none of the agents who are so skilful in following the smallest movements of the pa triots came to tear it down; it was not till nearly four o'clock that the police thought of meddling with it. At the moment that we are writing, this same placard which is headed " France and Berry," may be read on the walls in several quarters of Paris, among others at the entrance of the passage Vivienne, next. the Palais Royal, where it has attracted a numerous group of persons. (Front the Moniteur of Sunday.) The official part contains -1: The promulgation of the law relative to the definitive regulation of the budget of 1829. 2.

CoNsTaNzotorte, JAN. 14. —Great tranquillity pre vails here, and we flatter ourselves that we shall have in a few days news of the actual conclusion of peace. M. Yarene, the French Charge d'Affaires, is gone to Ibrahim Pacha's camp, to receive from him proposals for peace ; Be has acquainted the Sultan with it, and submitted to him a plan fur a treaty of peace, which the Porte, it is said, has approved. Ibrahim requires that his father shall be invested with the Pachalic of Syria, and that the Porte shall bear part of the expenses to which he has been put by the war. Mehemet Ali, on his part, is to acknow ledge the supremacy of the Sultan, and to pay the Porte an annual tribute, the amount of which is to be settled at a fu'ure period. Turkish Commissioners are to repair immediately to Ibrahim's head-quarters, to announce that the Sultan accepts the proposed terms, and is ready to sign a definitive treaty of peace. It is hoped that Ibrahim Pacha will, without dell, commence his march back (at least within the frontiers of Syria), and that all will soon return to its former state. JAN. 15.—0 n the first intelligence of the late defect, the Sultan, despairing of being able to save himself by his own exertions, had already resolved to throw himself entirely into the arms of Russia, and obtain from that Power the protection of his capital and the conclusion of a tolerable peace from Mehemet Ali. But on this bring known, the other ambassadors at Constantinople exerted themselves that their Government should he consulted on this occa sion, and not Russia alone. Their united exertions suc seeded in inducing the Sultan to ask the mediation of France and England also, on which the Legations of those two Powers, seconded by all the others, immediately took measures to communicate with Ibrahim Pacha. Their zeal was crowned with succor , . Ibrahim suffered himself to be persuaded to conclude an armistice, to sus pend his march and all further hostilities, on condition that the Sultan should revoke the excommunication pro nounced against him and his faction, and the latter have the Pachalic of Syria. The danger that threatened the Porte is for the present averted. The conditions of the armistice are not yet known. VIENNA, FEB. I.—On the Ist of Junuary a Persian envoy, named Zeimul Abiolin Chan, arrived at Constan tinople, who is said to be commissioned to offer to the Sultan, on the part of the State of Persia, the assistance of an army against Mehemet Ali. Stephaneti Vogorides has been appointed by the Porte Prince of Samos, and as such was invested on the 31st December with the usual pelisse of honour. FROM PRUSSIA, JAN. 28.—The latest communica tions from London are of a very sinzular kind. One would conclude from them that it is the intention of Lord Palmerston to drive the Cabinet of the Hague to extre mities, and to the adoption of some inconsiderate step. lie rejects the counter project of the King of the Nether jowls, requires the re-opening of the negotiations, and, by continuing the embargo on Dutch ships, continues also the Measures of coercion, which, according to his preceding declarations, were to cease the moment that the citadel of Antwerp was given up to the Belgians. Had not the history of diplomacy lately shown so many instances of contradictions and versatility, such conduct would afford just grounds for doubting the sincerity of the daily refuted assurances of a wish to preserve peace. This conduct is more than arbitrary, which first requires unconditional submission from an adversary who has beer' unjustly treated, and then wants to negotiate. This is what Lord Palmerston demands : the counter-project 01 the King of the Netherlands is rejected, arid his repre sentations are refused a hearing. He is called upon ten laZ`heve with passive obedience, to submit without remon "trance to the injunctions of France and England ; and, till lie does this, to bend under the scourge of a system w hich his nation considers as ruinous to its commerce, that he may aubequently enjoy the favour, after endless gpsieties, to see the sentence of death of Holland signed at the conclusion of the last protocol. The taking of the Citadel of Antwerp, indeed, proves that might in the end overcomes right: but we believe that, in spite of this very plain argument, the Dutch nation estimates itsell too highly not to risk every extremity, rather than submit to disgraceful commands from foreign Powers. The heroic conduct of Chaise has borne its fruits ; it has ex torted the esteem of the enemy and of Europe, and it has roused the national spirit, which even the most powerful should not despise. Whether it be or want of judgment which prevails in London on the consideration of the Beizian question, the state of Ireland ought to be a beacon to the English Alinistry, and make it sensible of the danger of disregarding the rights of a people like the Dutch. The solution of the favourite problem of the Cabinets of London and Paris, the general disarming, is thus deferred, and the military armaments may again in crease, if the continental Powers should seek in vain ami cably to settle a question which, by the inconsiderate conduct of France and England, has become more complex than it was before the fall of Antwerp.

CITY ELECTION. AT a Numerous MEETING of the FRIENDS of GEORGE LYALL, Esq., at the City of London Tavern, on Monday, Feb. 11, 1833, JOHN WILLIAM BUCKLE, Eqi., was unanimously called to the Chair. t was moved by Alderman WINCHESTER, and seconded by AARON CH APNIA N, Esq., M.P., and resolved unanimously, That this meeting consider it of the utmost importance that the Representatives of this City in Parliament should be of independent political principles, and thoroughly acquainted, both in theory and practice, with the commercial, shipping, trading, and manufacturing interests. It was moved by JOHN DIXON, Esq., and seconded by W3I. COTTON, Esq., and resolved unanimously. That in the opinion of this meeting the talents and character of George Lyall, Esq., and the station which he has filled in the commercial world, and the universal respect in which he is held, eminently qualify him to execute with honour and advan tage the duties of a Representative of this City. it was moved by HENRY BLANSDARD, Esq.. and seconded by WILLIAM EDMUND FERRER% Esq., That the favourable opinion of a great body of the Electors of this City having been clearly expressed at the late Election by upwards of five thousand votes recorded in favour of Mr. Lyall, this Meeting, concurring in that opinion, most earnestly recommend him to the Electors at large as peculiarly fit for their Representative in Parliament, and pledge themselves to use their utmost endeavours to secure his election. JOHN WILLIAM BUCKLE, Chairman. Mr. Buckle having left the Chair, was moved by ROBILT GRANT, Esq., and seconded by THOMP,ON HANKEY, jun., Esq., and resolved unani- mously, That the thanks of this Meeting be given to John William Buckle, Esq , for his kindness in taking the Chair, and for the ability with which he has presided over the proceedings of this Meeting. NATHANIEL W. SYSIONDS, Secretary to the Committee. Gentlemen who are willing to act on Mr. Lyall'a Com mittee are requested to send their names and addresses to the Secretary, at the City of London Tavern, where tie Committee will meet daily. TO THE LIVERYMEN AND ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF LONDON. GENTLEMEN, HAVING been informed that a doubt has been expressed as to my intention of persevering in the present contest for the honour of representing you in Parliament, I beg leave to state that this report is utterly destitute of foundation, it being my (It termination to proceed to the Poll ; and the kind assurances of support which I have received from a large number of my fellow-cit zens enable me to do so with the full confidence of a successful result. ....... I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, Your most obedient bumble servant, Park•crescent, Feb. 11. GEORGE LYALL. ,flis ••• t 4 =tin LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 12, 1833, Within an hour probably of the remarks we are about to make going to press, the Ministry will have opened to the House of Commons its plan of Irish Church Reform. Rumours have reached us respecting the extent of that Reform, which, upon almost any other subject, we should have considered worthy of attention, so much general reliance have we on the quarters whence some of them originate, but we have before us such examples of the strict secrecy of which the present Government is capable in matters of im portance, that we think it best, especially when all conjecture must be so soon set at rest by cer tainty, to abstain from giving them publicity. Our own opinions of the extent to which Reform in the Irish Church must go in order to be efficient in stopping all just complaint, and safe by preventing the necessity of another Reform, which might sweep away the good with the bad, are already known. If Ministers should venture to propose much less than we have stated to be necessary, not only is their own doom, but that of the Irish Chnrch pronounced. The question will cease to be one of Reform or no Reform, and will, ere long, become one of annihilation or existence. His Majesty's Ministers have already grievously disappointed the country in intimating their intention not to reduce the stamp or advertisement duties—both ranging FROM A HUNDRED TO A THOUSAND PER CENT. higher than the value of the arti cles on which they are imposed—although there cannot be a doubt that the revenue would gain rather than lose by doing so ; and if they again baulk public expectation, they may dis cover too late, that, as liberal measures raised them to a height of popularity never before en joyed by any Ministers, illiberal measures will as speedily have the reverse effect. We are informed that a private meeting of some of the select householders of Westminster is to be held this evening, for the purpose of taking into consideration the best means of de feating the object of the parties who have called a public meeting at Covent-garden, for Thurs day. We have not heard whether this select affair has the sanction of Sir FRANCIS BUR DETT, and Sir JOHN HOBHOUSE, and we should conclude, in the absence of proof to the contrary, that both the representatives of West minster will abstain from any interference. The parties who have convened the meet ing for Thursday intend, we believe, to propose for adoption the same resolutions as those which were unanimously agreed to at the great City meeting, and to which it is impossible to object without incurring the odium due to the Conservative faction. It is true, indeed, that the ballot is a leading object of the City and West minster Reformers ; but who will dare to assert that, on this ground, the Reformers deserve the appellation of Destructives, which has been applied to them ? There are few persons, we be lieve, who could bring forward any reasonable ar gument against the proposed institution of vote by ballot. As to the other topics, what was there in the city resolutions, to which Sir FRANCIS BURDETT and Sir JOHN HOBHOUSE could object, consistently with past professions, and with the declaration which they still make, of their desire to uphold the rights, and alleviate the burdens of the people ? Although the decline in the price of the foreign securities, in the Paris Stock Exchange, is generally attributed to the speech of our KING on opening the present Session of Parliament, we have reason to believe, from what we have heard this morning, that there was another cause for the depression. The French Govern ment had received information of some new underhand work by Russia and Prussia on the Belgian question, and the late affair in Greece, when the French troops were set upon by a portion of the Greek military, under chiefs noto riously in the interest of Russia, has compelled the Duke de BROGLIE to institute an inquiry into the circumstances, which may lead to a dispute with Russia. The official report of this transaction attributes it entirely to the in trigues of the Russian agents in Greece ; and it will be impossible for the French Government to face the Chamber of Deputies, on any allusion to the subject being made there, without ex pressing a determination to demand satisfaction for the outrage, if it should he found to have arisen from the instigation of Russia. The popular feeling in France against Russia is growing stronger and stronger every day, and Marshal SOULT has lost much of his popula rity by the tame manner in which he has met the political encroachments of .hat Power. With respect to the rumoured in .ention of Marshal SOULT to retire from office, it does not appear that there is at present any other ground for it than the dislike which the King of the FRENCH is supposed to entertain of a man who made his accession to office con ditional on the surrender into his own hands of all the patronage of the KING'S Household, and who used his power so uncourteously as to re fuse to confirm the appointments promised by the KING to two or three individuals, whose sole ground of offence with the Marshal was, their having been warm partisans of General SEBASTIAN!. We have more than once had occasion to notice the unequal mode in which houses are rated. A correspondent, who lives in the neigh bourhood of Holborn, assures us that the house in which he lives is rated at 901. per annum, although the actual rent paid by him is only 801., and on his appeal he was unable to obtain any abatement, it having been proved that he had at one time paid 1001. per annum, and was liable to be again raised in the event of the neigh bourhood improving. Our correspondent informs us that he finds, upon inquiry, that several of the new houses in the vicinity of West Strand, which are let at 1001. per annum each, are rated at only 501., tieing two-thirds of the estimated value, which is one-fourth below the actual rent, an allowance very proper in a new neigbourhood. On what principle, we would ask, is a house in a falling quarter to be rated beyond the real rent, when in a new neighbour hood so large a consideration is very properly made in favour of the occupier ? Why is not the house near Holborn, the rent of which is on ly 701. a year, rated at 401., or at the utmost 50/. ? Can anything be more unfair than to rate a house worth only 701. a year at 901., whilst another, which is let at 1001., is rated only at 5 This inequality p roves th e ne c e ssity of , o c l l:nge in the mode of assessment, if the as sessed taxes are not to be abolished. From what ever cause the inequality proceeds, it is open to very serious objection. But it is not in London alone that the mode of assessment is capricious and tyrannical. In Sussex, many of the small houses belonging to the gentry, have been rated higher than the magnificent seat of the Earl of EGREMONT. In One case a small house which would not let for 201. per annum, was actually rated at 1201. per annum, whilst at a distance of only one mile, a magnificent house which cost twenty times as much building, and for which at least 2001. per annum would be given, was rated at 100/. Similar injustice is complained of throughout the country, and even supposing that the rate were more equally levied, it would still be an improper one, as it must always operate op pressively on industry. If the state of the revenue will not admit of the repeal of the assessed taxes without the imposition of some new tax, let a property tax be imposed, so mode rate in its extent, that it shall merely cover the deficiency occasioned by the repeal of the assessed taxes, and of a few other taxes, which bear immediately upon the middle and poorer classes of society, and prevent all objection on the ground of a property tax being one for war purposes. A very small tax upon property would enable the Ministry to repeal the assessed taxes, the taxes on knowledge, the tax on tnalt, and many others, and how easy it would be to increase the property tax, if circumstances should render it necessary. But a property tax would fall immediately on those who legislate, and it is very rare with legislators to put burdens upon their shoulders when they can contrive to keep them on those of the public. It has been said, in deed, that the aristocracy made a noble example when they passed a law for the imposition of an income tax—a burden truly odious in its cha racter, and which afflicted not only the possessor of property, which he enjoyed without labour, but also those who derived bread from the pur suits of industry ; but in that instance the aris tocracy made a sacrifice in the hope of checking the progress of a revolutionary nation, at the head of which a man of genius and enterprise had placed himself, and which, if successful, would have endangered their existence. The sa crifice of the aristocracy, therefore, was purely selfish—it was not made for the purpose of re lieving the country. But our first duty is to ascertain whether a saving may not be effected in the public expendi ture. It appears by the latest official returns that the amount of the Pension List, exclusive of clerical pensions, and of all grants, allowances, half-pay, and superannuations for civil, military, and naval services, is upwards of 800,000/. per annum, and the amount of sinecures more than 350,0001. Surely the half, if not the whole of these pen sions and sinecures might be abolished without injustice to the parties holding them. If only half a million were to be reduced, how greatly would the saving alleviate the public burden. If to this half million were to be added another, which might very well be saved in the public ex penditure for overpaid services, Lord ALTHORP would be able to remit one million of the existing taxes without having recourse to any substitute. We can easily understand the difficulty of set- Ling about these reforms, and give Ministers credit for good intentions; but whatever those difficulties may be, Earl GREY and his colleagues can hardly expect the people to be patient under their sufferings, with the knowledge which they have, that more than a million a year is paid in sinecures and unmerited pensions, and that whilst the people are so heavily taxed, the joint revenue of the Bishops alone exceeds 200,0001. annually. If there were no sinecures or unearned pensions, and the salaries enjoyed by the heads of the Church, and public functionaries, were placed on a more reasonable footing, the people would bear their privations with patience, if not with satisfaction. By the arrival of the London line of packet ship Ontario, Captain SEBOR, New York Papers to the 20th of January, Boston to the 18th, Baltimore to the 17th, Norfolk to the 14th, and Charleston to the 12th of January, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. The New York Paper, of the 19th of January, contains a long Message from the PRESIDENT, which occupied one hour and a quarter in the reading. The above paper con tains the following remark on this important Message : a The special Message of the President of the United States, upon the subject of the recent highhanded and unlawful measures of South Carolina, is one of the most important documents that bas ever emanated from the American Executive. Whoever may have been its author, it is written with consummate ability. The President ha. , , at length, exchanged the knot of evil and irresponsible advisers, who have so long been like mill-stones upon his Administration, for Counsellors who have the talent, the principle, and the nerve to put forth such a noble document as this Message, i■ which there is no refining of terms, no Jesuitism or obscurity ; and what is more satisfactory still, there are no attempts in this document to soften or explain away the sound and wholesome federal doctrines of the late Proclamation. On the contrary, all is frank and manly. There are two or three incidental points in the Message from which we should dissent, as, for instance, the proposition that the Federal Government is of limited powers. This is an error ; the Government is one of spe cified powers. So also where the Message asserts that the taxation and representation have uniformly gone hand in hand together; it is not so while the inequality of the slave representation exists. _ . " The recommendation for enforcing the laws in South Carolina appears to be very judicious. The removal of the Customhouse from Charlestown to the neighbouring fortress seems to have been a measure of just precaution, and, on the whole, we look upon the entire Mess tge as being just such a document as the crisis demanded and such a one as ought to give universal satisfaction to the American people." Our readers may infer from the tone of these comments that the PRESIDENT is resolved to enforce obedience in South Carolina. The French Papers received this morning, dated Paris, Saturday, contain no intelligence not announced by us yesterday. The fall of the French Funds three per cent. is generally attri buted to the tone of the King of ENGLAND'S Speech ; with what truth those in the secrets of the Stock Exchange can best say, but the asser tion appears to derive confirmation from the fall of our own Funds. The German Papers, it will be seen, upon the whole, go to confirm the pacific news which last arrived from Constantinople. The statement of Persia having offered to assist in putting down MILLIENI ET ALI, is hardly worthy of credit upon such slight authority as that upon which it rests. Our City Correspondent says :—" We have this moment received the following important information, on which we can place the greatest confidence :—' The French Government have, as a preliminary step towards raising the em bargo on the Dutch vessels detained in France, ordered their release upon giving bail for the value of the ships, and will even grant them licenses to take in cargoes for any part they choose to go to. The French Ambassador, in London, has been instructed to request from the British Government that their licenses may be respected by the British cruisers.' SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) PKICIK.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Montreal papers to the 13th of January, Quebec to the 12th of January, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, by which we regret to learn that the typhus fever is prevalent both at Quebec and Montreal, and the number of sick in the hospitals, and private dwellings is unusually great. By the French Mail this morning, a letter from Berlin, in the Augsburg Gazette, states that the continuation of coercive measures by the French and English Governments, after the taking of the citadel of Antwerp, is looked upon as oppressive against Holland. This letter ends as follows :—" The solution of the question of a general disarming, the favourite theme of France and England, has been put off." . . We find by the French Papers that all the fortresses in the north of France are to be disarmed ; this does not correspond with the above letter. THE FUNDS. The Funds appear to be of a gloomy description this morn ing. Consols which left off yesterday at S7i for the account, opened at the same price, and soon after receded to E 6 N. At present they are S 6 3; Sellers. This is attributed to the deter mination, on the part of Government, to establish martial law in Ireland; the consequence of which, great fears are enter tained, will be a civil war in that country. Up to the present hour we have no news from Portugal. In the Foreign Market, Dutch Stock 45; Belgium Stock 83. HALF-PAST ONE. The Consol Market still continues heavy at 86 y 8 sellers for the Account, with little doing. The affairs of Ireland, and the means which Government are going to adopt towards that unfortunate country, are the general topics of conversation in the city. Letters are in town, stating that an English frigate is gone to take possession of the Falkland Islands, to end the disputes between the Americans and the Buenos Ayres Government. In the Foreign Market little or nothing doing. THREE O'CLOCK Consols for the Account S 6 CLOSING PRICES.-FOUR O'CLOCK. ecnvols Ditto for Account 87t Danish Greek Brazilian Bonds 57, Buenos Ayres...

CHARLES MANNERS SUTTON, the Speaker of the House of Gimmons. A certain Magistrate of the Fair City, well known for his pleasantry and good humour, stepped into the chambers of a law agent, to inquire about the progress of a law plea ; he was told defences had been given in—that it was next necessary to lodge replies—and that after that, probably duplies would be ordered. " And after that, I suppose," rejoined the Magis'rate, " comes the money plies, which, nae doubt, ye'll reckon the best part o' the haggis."—Scotsman. On Saturday afternoon week, a sort of hur ricane passed over Lincoln. The roofs of the gas works and of some adjoining premises suffered considerable damage, and it was feared that some of the wind-mills would take fire from the rapidity with which the sails were impelled, and a vessel on its course from Saxilby to Linelon was completely dismasted. A young journey man miller met with his death in a shocking manner, it is supposed while attempting to check the mill. His mangled remains were discovered forced among the mill works, and having scarcely a human appearance,—the bowels having actually been protruded on the floor. The young man's name was FENERLEY. He was a steady re spectable man about 28 years of age, and had been asked at church to a young woman of the neighbourhood on the previous Sunday.—Doncaster Times.

CURIOUS APPLICATION.-JOHN PETERS, of Starcross, applied to the Magistrates under the follow ing peculiar circumstances :—l❑ our last we stated a singular birth which had taken place there, of children who were united, somewhat in the manner of the Siamese twins, but not born alive. From PETERS' statement, it appeared that he was indebted to Mr. BownEN, surgeon, 201., as a set off for which the children were to remain with him. A few days since, however, a person named SELWAY waited upon the parents, and offered to pay the surgeon the amount of his bill if they would consent to let the children become his property, to which they assented by signing a paper to that purport. SELWAY then waited on Mr. BOWDEN, and, on his receiving the sum of 201., the bodies of the children were given up. The application now made was for the Magistrates to order the children to be returned to the parents for the purpose of their being buried, PETERS understanding that the object of SELWAY in getting possession of his children was to make an ex hibition of them. It appeared, however, that PETERS himself was not so anxious on the account of the children, but to make a profit out of the circumstance, as was ad mitted by him in a previous interview with a Magistrate, who was now present, he having said, that if there was anything to be made out of it, it should could come to hi m . The ground of the present application, however, was to have the children returned, when the parish would bury them. The Bench considered they had no jurisdic tion its the matter, thew having been a distinct arrange ment between the father and SELWAY—viz. that by pay ing Mr. BownEN his bill, he, SELWAY, should bave pos session of the children....Cornubian.
