Message frum the Lords stated, that they had aveed to the Newfoundland judicature Bill, and to several titivate Bills, without any amendment.

The supposition was, that important Dispatches had been received from France, but we do not think that was the case, as no Messenger ar. rived from Paris this morning. The circumstance gave rise to numerous conjectures; but as we do not presume to be able to state any thing , with any shadow of certainty, we forbear forming spe. culations of our own. We can only say, Oat we conclude the business must have been of more than common importance. . WVI• yesterday received Paris journals to the 22d.inst. a little after our Pam had been put to Press. We made an insertion of their chief contents. The illonitenr h still silent on tA, subkjeil of the discussions between the-two Countries ; it is neatly tilled with the very unintere4 ring proceedings of the Legislative Body and the Tribunate, relatite to the Civil Code. Antanexpeaed _dispute has arisen between Mattis and the Mediating Powers. At the moment when it was supposed that the EMT ncoa would have - ra. titled the General Ccricksum respelling the In, demnities, without making any further °Nation to it, und when it was stated in some of. the Foreign Journals, that the Imperial Ministers had attually acceded to it, His Imperial Majesty has protested in a very highs tone against several of its disposi. tions, particularly those which all'at in any manner the Austrian States ; and has demanded .the establishment of the equality of Religion in the two Colleges, and an augmentation of Votes for his own House.- This Protest ,of His Imperial Majesty has given rise to an energetic Note' on the part of the Mediating Powers, the reading of which caused a great sensation in the Diet, who are very urgently called upon by the Ministers of those PoWers to set aside from their consideration all dies cussion on the propositions made by Austria, and to ratify fully and entirely the Conciarulr. Several conferences have, in consequence, taken place be. t wecn the Austrian Ministers and the Ministers of Prussia, and the Mediating Powers ; but it is not yet known what precise ()hie& the EmvellOß has in view, in thus unexpectedly impeding the termina tion of the long pending business of the Indemni. ties, at the moment when it appeared to be com pletely and finally arranged. The new Government of the Canton of Berne was installed on the loth inst. General Nty was expeaed immediately to quit that city and to est.]. blish his Head Quarters at Fribourg. The Patriots, REDINo, Hrazai., Autoca-M.ku t, SCC. are now, it is said, to be allowed to remain in their native country, instead of being compelled to reside in France, as at first stated. The DRY of ALGIERS is said to'have declared to the French Agent in his territories, that if a formal promise was not immediately made, that the customary presents should be in future transmitted to him, he would declare war against the French Republic.—TheFrenchFunds were on the i 9th at 59.
