FOREIGN INTELLIG ENCE. PARIS, DEC. 4.—The King yesterday heard Mass in his apartments. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, SITTING OF DEC. 3. The Sitting opened at half-past one o'clock. The Keeper of the Seals, the Ministers of Fi nance and Marine, MeSsrs. Cuvier and Jacquinot Pampelune, King's Commissioners, occupied the bench of Ministers. The Keeper - of the Seals, De Serre, mounted the-tribune, to make a Royal communication. The King, said the Minister, has commanded us to offer you two projects of law. The first.con tains additional dispositions to the laws for the suppression and prosecution of offences com mitted by the press, or any other way of publi cation. W lieu the laws of the 17th and 26th of May, 1819, were carried, it was foreseen that experience alone, that touchstone of laws, would point out of what modification that system was susceptible, which was intended to regulate a matter so new and delicate. In truth, three years have scarcely elapsed since their promul gation ; but, in the course of that short time, a sufficient number of judicial and political facts have presented themselves, to enable us to ap preciate their results, and the utility of new pro -visions. These new provisions.svill divide them selves, like the laws to which they relate, into penal enactments, and such as regulate the mode of prosecution. Before entering upon the deve lopment of these provisions, the Minister sub mitted to the Chamber some general reflections. The Charter, he said, in recognizing in French men the right of forming their own opinions, an nounces the laws destined to repress the abuse of this liberty. If it is, easy to enumerate, if it is possible to define, the interests which suffer from these abuses, it is impossible to enumerate or define precisely the abuses themselves. Their forms are as numerous and as varied as the ex pression of thought. Such abuses are felt—they cannot be defined. Now, if it is of the essence! of a good penal law to define exactly the acts which it criminates, it is evident that in a matter like the abuses of the press, which evades all exact definition, a good law is strictly impossible. And - this difficulty, be pleased to remark, is not the difficulty of the law alone—it is the diffi culty of repression. In this state of embarrass ment, no other basis of repression has been found—no other means of defending society— than to impose on abuses of publication, de nominations extensive enough to embrace all. Thus when the English law declares every libel punishable, it remains to determine what is and is not a libel—that is a law still remaining to be made. It has been made in .the public mind by the jurisprudence of more than a century—the only means of pro ducing such a law. Every nation which claims the liberty of the press will encounter similar difficulties. The laws which must circumscribe this liberty, imperfect in their nature, will be more so in proportion that they are new, and consequently less understood. The legislator is he-re constrained to acknowledge the limits of hi 9 power, and that he cannot anticipate the work of time. Particular circumstances aggravate in France these inevitable inconveniences. For thirty years we have renounced that generality and ancient simplicity of penal laws w hich our neighbours have preserved. We have sought to define every case with mathematical rigour. The ,judicial spirit has been formed with this strictness, and it would be difficult to bring it back to con trary habits. Such habits, however, are those which alone can give reality and force to a legis lation necessarily vague in its object. These re flections explain,. in a certain degree, the imper fections of the law of 1819 ; they point out how far that law can be remedied, and they shrew to what extent we can carry the efficacy of repres sion. [Here the Minister characterised the law of 1819, as it defined the different kinds of of fences, and contended that it had properly left undefined some abuses, the repression of which required greater proMptitude.] The present law, he said, had two Objects : on the one hand, to define better some of the sacred views or grand interests which we wish to protect from the abuses of publications ; and, on the other hand, to point out in what manner the abu'ses may be committed. The new law will, fulfil its object, as far as this object can be fulfilled, if its provisions, and the discussions to which they will lead, impress the organs of the law with this conviction,—that their power is given them to distinguish liberty from license, to punish the one, and to protect the other. The Minister then adverted to the article of the law of ,1819, which was intended to pro tect religion and public morals, allowing that it was indefinite, and stating the manner in which that imperfection is removed by the present pro ject. As the Charter declares the Catholic religion to be that of the State, he contended that it ought to be protected as a part of the ; State ; for in making; the new law, no invasion was intended on the liberty of conscience, or the free discussion of religious opinions. Royalty was a • second religion in a monarchy ; therefore every attack against the. Royal dignity, the authority of the King, the inviolability of his person, and the order of succession to the Throne, was punish able. The Minister then proceeded to discuss the mode of proceeding against offences of the press, and stated the argument in favour of re ferring them to a jury. A jury was to be ad mitted in every case that involved freedom of opinion ; - but terms of reproach or abusive ex pressions, he contended, properly belonged to correctional police. The Keeper of the Seals, after stating the modifications of the law of 1819, intended by the present project, proceeded to the consideration of the liberty of the Journals. .Ile contended that the liberty of publishing and printing our opinions nomore implied the right of establishing a Journal, than the liberty of speech implied the right of erecting a Tribunal in the public streets; and it was remarkable, that this latter right existed in England .along with the liberty of the Journals. He distinguished the Journals from other works published by the Press, and argued that a more prompt repression should be applied to them. The periodic Press, he saki, was eminently: dernocr4c ; because, it was eminently calculated to exci(e the multitude, and to give it an- influence on "he affairs of the State. Free Journals were thus good.or bad, ac cording to times and places; they suited certain ' Governments?'and certain circumstances, but not other Governments and "other circumstances. A great part of the Minister's speech was an ela borate defence of the proviiion imposing restraints on the periodical Press. IWe sorry'that we cannot give more points of the Mi nister's. Speech ; but must content ourselves with a Copy of the Project of Law.] FIRST LAW PROJECT. " Louis, &c.—We have ordered, and do order, that the Law Project, the tenor of which follows, shall be presented to , the Chamber of Deputies by our Keeper of the Seals, Minister Secretary of State for the Department of Justice, and by the Sieurs.Baron Cuvier and Jacquinot Pampelune, Councillors of State, whom we charge with the exposition of its grounds, and the sup porting it in the discussion."

LOUIS. Tuileries,. Nov. 7. (Countersigned) 11. DE SERRE. SECOND LAW PROJECT. Louis, &c.—Article. The laws of the 31st of March, 1820, and 26th of July, 1821, relative to the publication of the jour nals and periodical writings, shall continue in force until the end of the Session 1820. Tuileries, Nov. 7. (Signed) LOUIS. After the project was regularly entered, M. DELA LoT, amidst ldud cries of " order," and constant interruptions from the centre (the adherents of Ministers), argued that a censorship, by stilling the voice of truth, would enable the enemies of the Deputies to calumniate them be fore,the nation, as they had already before the Throne. Are public disCussions to be checked,, and the Chamber to be deprived of the right of manifesting its resentment, and of taking lawful vengeance on its calumniators ? This tribune is the only place where a free opinion can be ex pressed, and the Chamber owes it to itself to vindicate its unalterable regard, its inviolable re spect for the hest of Kings. The Chamber will not remain quiet under the horrible calumny which has endeavoured to burst asunder the f)Onds of mutual confidence between the Throne and the Representatives of the People. It throws back . this calumny to its source—those headstrong Ministers who have dared to pervert the most innocent language and the purest inten tions) and build upon them the most unnatural and revolting . suppositions. It was thus that Louis XI. was once prejudiced by evil Coun sellors against the conscientious advice given by the leading magistrates of the kingdom ; but that Monarch.soon came to himself, and thanked them for their honest sentiments. " Continue (said he) to speak to me the language of conscience ; 1 recognize you for good and, faithful subjects, and be assured that I will always be your good King ;" and we, also, let us confide in the supe rior understanding of the most enlightened Prince in Europe : let us rely on his greatness of soul, which will soon break through the clouds of odious prejudice, and of dark intrigue, which have been spread before him to our injury.— What'. can it he for a moment believed that an assembly of enlightened men, of men sincerely devoted to their King, could have listened with calmness, and adopted with mature de liberation, an address which they thought contained a shocking insult to their Sove reign ? Is it possible that men whose whole lives have been a sacrifice of devotion and fidelity to their King, could intend to wound his pa ternal heart in its most sensible part ? And who are our accusers ? The public,enemies of legiti macy and the Charter, —the declared partisans of arbitrary power, who cannot endure any ma jority, any opposition, on whatever side it may exist : men who at other times hdve dared sacri legiously, in the face of Europe, to accuse the House of Bourbon of being the sole cause of the misery of France.- (Here he fixed his eyes on the Ministerial Bench, where sat Messrs. De Serre, Roy, and Portal.)—And is it on the word of Ministers like these (continued the speaker), that any man will condemn,l willnot say,the flower of France, and the models of national honour, but even the lowest and meanest of mankind ? No, no : the cruel error cannot long deceive the mind of a King confident in the love of his people, and who will find in his own, better than in the interpretation of any counsellors, the true mean ing of our language. lie will cast back upon his Ministers the malignant construction which they have put upon our words. lie well understands the principles of that Representative Government 'which he has given us : he well knows that our reproaches against his Administration are aimed only at the depositaries of his power, while the Royal Majesty, sacred and inviolable, still and ever remains the first, the dearest object of our homage. What is the language which these malignant Ministers have held to the Sovereign ? They tell him, that those who oppose his good Ministers are violent and selfish men, who have no other object in view than to turn out the present occupants of power, and to have all their own way. That the opposition, forsooth, is not only factious, but consists of ultra-Liberals; nay, what is still more terrible, of ultra-Royal ists! Ultra-Royalists ! At this name, gentle men, my heart swells with indignation, because I know that every man who invents or employs in jurious designations to class particular parties is a minister of discord, is a man who ranges and marks out victims for proscription. Ultra-Royal ists ! Gentlemen, when Buonaparte governed this empire, celebrated men of every kind served him with zeal, with courage, with devotion. — Would any of his Ministers, would any agent of police, any dabbler in intrigue, have dared to tarnish before him the zeal of his servants, by calling them ultra-Buonapartists ? And' is it under the reign of Louis XVIII. that an agent of the imperial police, a public detractor of the Bourbons, dares, in the council of the King, to stigmatize as exaggerated the zeal and devotion which we bear to his cause ?—(Long and conti nued applause.)—But the calumnies and the plots of the Ministers are rendered null. Their at tempts to procure majorities have failed ; and so will their present attempt to sow the seeds of hatred between the King and his faithful Depu ties. All their attempts to stifle the truth will fail: the King and the nation will soon under stand their disgraceful manoeuvres ; and justice will yet overtake them. N. DE S ERRE denied that the Ministers had any intentions so odious as were imputed to them by ihe last speaker. He denied that they enter tained any hatred against the Royalists ; and exclaimed, 64 if this feeling is attributed to the Ministers individually, every one of them can an swer triumphantly with me, that if loyalty is to be measured by devotion, by sacrifices ;" (here long bursts of laughter from the right and left side of the Chamber interrupted the speaker, and a voice called out distinctly, " Yes, your majoral of 400,000 francs is one of your sacri fices :" and another voice exclaimed, CC There are no sacrifices in your case except those which the State has made for your benefit.") After a considerable pause M. de Serre concluded, by saying, that as the last speaker had produced no proofs of his allegations, he (M. de Serre).had nothing further to say.—(Repeated bursts of laughter.) M. DONNADIEU then made several ineffectual attempts to speak .;.-asid, after some angry alter. cation between the Chamber and the President who was accused df partiality by M. de la Bour. donnaye, an adjournment took place till Thurs day. [Extract from the article in the Moniteur.] Doubtless, political hatred cannot exist peisonally. It does not exist, or at least cannot be durable. This, indeed, is a truth equally peculiar and honourable to the French character; but what is durable, because it belongs to human nature so to be, is the impossibility of an alliance founded on contradictory prin ciples—on principles which one party has combated as subver sive of social order, because so they really are. Were it not thus, speech would be only a falsity, and men, constantly tormented by its deceptions, would no longer comprehend the terms hon our, religion, country, society. No ; such an alliance cannot be founded on falsehood. On the mutiny of the English fleet, the party of the opposi tion immediately declared that they would unite in mass with the majority ; but would the majority have joined the si oppo tion, had the maxims of that party sanctioned the mutiny That alliance would have been monstrous. It was impossible. The union announced by, the Jou itsu. DES DEEATS wears no better aspect in our eyes. If, then, it really exist, it will have the fate of every thing unsound in its nature. It would other wise be useless to combat with so much perseverance and ener. gy, in order to rescue the thro ne and legitimacy from the effects of the law of February, 1817. To this the-Jou-R:4AL DES DEBATS aswers :—" We sim ply announced a fact,' that a majority against the Ministers had been produced by the union of the right and left sides, without attaching to it any of those vast consequences,. or those delicate considerations, which.the AIONfTEUR faricies it sees. It did not belong to us to examine whether the union of the 'right and of the left was false in its very nature impossible, contrary to human nature, a deception, a lie ; because, in order to a Maintain such a discussion, it would have been necessary to know (what we know nothing about) the motives and explanations with which Honourable . Members accompanied their respective .opinions in the Secret Committee. One fact was doubtless presumable-,-that the passage respecting the maintenance of peace could not have been understood in the . same sense by all the Members : but this fact, as far at least as regards the affairs of Greece, has been long before the public. Every day we see Royalist writers.and Liberal writers joining in.pne unanimous wish for the deliverance of Greece and the expulsion of the Turks ; though doubtless, they do not agree in all their mo tives, nor as to all the consequences of such an event. In thus restoring to their simple and national sense, the expressions which we used res p ect i ng th e ma j or ity of the 2 6th of November, we are far from denying that we have often entertained a wish, that a majority could be formed on the basis of an attachment to the true doctrines of Constitutional Monarchy—the only ma jority which is worthy of the name, in a moral and political sense." Letters from Frankfort of the 28th inform us that metallics, which have been for some time past rising, begin to fall. This fall is attributed not only to letters received from Russia, but also to the various loans which offer speculators more advantageous means of employing their money. Besides the Danish loan, and a loan in contem plation for the Two Sicilies, there is a talk of loans to be negociated by the great Powers, and particularly by Russia. It is stated that Russia insists on two guaran tees against the excesses of the Turks ; the mili tary occupation of Walachia and Moldavia by a corps of Russian and Austrian troops, and that of the 'Morea by another corps of English and Austrians. Several divisions of the Russian army have been furnished with new cloaks, a circumstance which has given birth to the report of a winter campaign. FRENCH FUNDS. Dec. 3, Five per Cents. Deferred Stock' 99 f. 85 c. Bank Stock 1595 1. c. PAnis,Due. 5.-- , The King yesterday heard mass in his apartments. During the morning his Majesty transacted business i❑ his cabinet. After mass he received the corps diplomatique, ►vho were introduced with the usual ceremony. After mid-day his Majesty transacted business with the President of the Council of Ministers. A letter from Barcelona of the 21st ult. states, that on the following day 7'e Deum was to be sung,—not that the malady had entirely ceased, but because its virulence had sensibly diminished. The number of deaths on the 18th, 19th, and 20th, amounted to 31, 32, and 53. It is ob served, that the greater part of those who have either died, or who are at present labouring un der the plague, are persons who clandestinely entered the city last week, whose numbers are said to amount to 8000. M. Lopez, a celebrated physician of Barcelona, writes, under the same date, that there were only eight patients, and that they were all persons who had lately entered the city. Another letter from Barcelona, dated November 22, gives satisfactory intelligence which we hasten to Make known.— " The malady is at an end ; the number of deaths is only be tween 20 and 25. The French physicians departed two days ago ; they received the most affecting adieus. A hope had been entertained that Dr. Bally would remain till the 30th with the ' young surgeon Jouarry, as he had expressed his intention of doing; but on the 18th, either from the effect of his multiplied cases, or in consequence of fatigue from his attendance at the hospitals, lie was again attacked with contagion, and for a whole day excited lively alarm for his recovery. His state being a little improved on the 19th, and permitting him to be moved, his courageous friends, Francois and Pariset, forced him into quarantine in spite of his entreaties and tears. It is difficult to form an idea of the kindness and generous devotion of this worthy Apostle of humanity." The following is an Extract of a Letter from Dr. Francois to Madame Francois, dated from the Chartteuse of Monte Alle gro, NoveMber i 22 : "In a month more I shall see you. We have now been two days in quarantine, perched on the top of a mountain, whence we discover a vast sea. Behind our house, at the distance of 100 fathoms, rise in a semicircle mountains covered with pines, with cypress trees, and oaks, which bound the view in the west and north. We are all doing well ; although on the eve of our de parture, and during the night, Dr. Bally and myself were suddenly attacked with the fever. Not knowing that my friend was in the same state with myself, I asked him to assist me in changing my linen. He rose and served me without telling me of his own situation. 'On the following morning, we made up our packets, and at 10 o'clock we set out without regret, for we had no longer any duty.to perform. We are here in a singular , abode. We inhabit a vast monastery, bounded by large conj. I dors and immense galleries, surrounded by gloomy gardens planted with the myrtle, the orange-tree, and the cypress. — The building is constructed after the Moorish fashion, with a platform, which serves as a promenade. The antiquity of the church is proved by a tower of Saracenic construction. This, joined to the woods and the marine prospect, forms a romantic scene. Our communications from without take place by means of two parallel cords supported on poles, and about a fathom distant from each other. The provision dealers (Oh, what Arabs !) are placed at the end of these cords, and before touch ing our money, which they devour with their eyes, must wait till it is steeped in vinegar. " The population of the monastery consists of about 200 per sons of every age, sex, and condition, priests, monks, and play ers, (including an Italian prima donna), muleteers, artisans, and citizens. Each of us has his cell, and manages for himself.- 1 shall not now give an inventory of our furniture; you shall have it afterwards, and it will make you laugh. " By special favour we are allowed a walk, from time to time, under a military escorts Before leaving Barcelona we received the thanks of the authorities. • The contagion has ceased. On the eve of our departure only 39 had been buried. The air is fresher here than at Barcelona—we enjoy a delightful tempera ture. The jessamine is in full flower, and thd oranges are be coming yellow." M. Pariset writes to his Lady from the same place in a simi lar strain of satisfaction. - Dr. Audouard concludes a long letter from the same place,' dated Nov. 23, with the following observations :—" It will be agreeable to yon, no doubt, to-have a general idea of the effects of the yellow fever at Barcelona. The half of the population, consisting of the wealthier portion, left the city in the month of August and in the beginning of September. The portion that remained consisted of 60 ; 000, of whom about 16,000 were carried off. During its earlier stage it attacked men in the prime of life ; latterly, women; children, and old men. At the time of my arrival, the city was a scene of desolation; but in a short time the magazines were opened and tradesmen resumed their labours. In the port, there is no other movement than that of a few fishing-boats, which supply the city with fish." F ITEN Cli FUNDS. Dec. 4, Five per Cents. B3 f. 70 c. Deferred Stock 99 f. 95 c.

CONSTANTINOPLE:, OCT. 31.—M. de Lutzow, Austrian Internuncio, has displayed hitherto the greatest zeal in supporting the interests of the subjects of Russia, and those who are under the protection of that power. He has even obtained several favourable decisions on petitions addressed to the Porte, by taking advantage of the credit which he enjoys with the Divan. Existing circum- ' stances having led the Divan to many concessions, it,is not believed the present differences can lead to any disagreeable results. As for the Janissaries, they have as yet undertaken nothing serious, but the Grand Seignor distrusts them, and causes them to be vigilantly watched. His Highness has caused to be adopted towards them, a mea sure which may have fortunate results. He has declared the Aga of the Janissaries, and ,his Lieutenant, personally responsible for all the dis orders which may be committed by the corps. — The Porte promises itself great advantage from this rigorous measure, but it appears that these officers do not enjoy so much power as to be able to prevent excesses, or to restrain disorders in which, besides, they have never participated. It is said that the Turkish fleet, composed of 103 sail, of which 35 vessels were taken from the Greeks, have entered the DaNvelles, and 16, have been lost. w. • It is said that the, inroad of the Persian army into the Turkish territory is of no great import ance. It is believed that the accounts refer to a corps which has entered Armenia, having at its head the Prince Royal, who has undertaken the enterprise against the will of his father. It is some time, according to report, since the latter declar ed his son a rebel and an usurper. ODESSA, Nov. 9.—For some days past the authorities have been in possession of intelli gence that the Persians have invaded the Turkish frontier. This circumstance has produced a strong sensation, and from it all the Creeks who are here predict the fall of the Ottoman empire. We have letters from Constantinople of the 2d inst. They assure us that the Grand Seignor has ordered all the Persians who were in the capital to be thrown into dungeons ; that a part of the Janissaries had received orders to pro ceed to Asia, against the Persian invaders ; and, finally, that messengers had been despatched to Epirus, with orders' of recall for the Pacha, who was proceeding against Ali. This Pacha is not disgraced ; his Highness has conferred' on him the command of the troops destined to repel the assassin of the son of the Schah of Persia. We hear from Smyrna, the 26th October, thai every day there are massacres of the Christians. VIESNA, Nov. 22.—The Regency of Lower Austria has published a circuler against the sect of the Carbonari, in which it is said that their object is to overturn existing Governments. Those who may enter it are therefore declared guilty of high treason. NUREMBERG, Nov. 27.—For the last few days the intelligence from Turkey is more favourable to the partizans of war than to those of peace.. It is certain that there had been several long Sittings of the Divan . to discuss the propositions and demands of Russia. The Grand_Seignor is said to have pronounced against any new con. cession, and to have been joined in that opinion by the Deputies of the Janissaries and several grand functionaries. Other advises, on the con trary, state, that the demands of the Court of St. Petersburgh would be acceded to. No final determination had, however, been agreed upon. The Vienna accounts state, that the Austrian Government had received advises, announcing that the 'demands of Russia had been rejected, and that all the efforts of M. de Lutzow and Lord Strangford to alter the determination of the Grand Seignor had proved fruitless. FRANKFORT, Nov. (7.--According to private letters the Greeks have again had the advantage in the South of the Morca, whilst in the North they have experienced reverses, and been com pelled to retreat into the mountains. Conside rable reinforcements had, however, arrived, which would probably put them in a condition to repel the troops of Jussuf Paella at Patras. In Lividia the fighting was without interrup tion, sometimes one side and sometimes the other gaining advantage. Since the arrival of the Greek Chiefs from Thessaly, particularly of Odysseus, the Greeks have had the advantage. In Epirus the affairs of the Greeks and their allies, the Albanians, have taken a favourable turn. • Nov.

Thesctroops are on the war establishment, pro vided with every thing necessary for a campaign, and ready to. march at the first notice.
