The Paris papers are almost entirely occupied with the speeches of M. Tawas and M. GuizoT on the address, and though there was much talk on both sides, especially on the part of M. Tunes, no new fact, idea, or principle was produced which could make an impression on the public mind. The ex- Minister spoke in his usual vivid and striking manner ; he had prepared his cue well, arranged facts, and drawn up accusations, but the sum and substance of the speech have been blazoned forth already in all the Opposition papers, and so repeatedly that even the most eloquent orator could produce little effect when he had no topics but the right of search, the Morocco war, and the "eternal PRITCHARD," as he is denominated by the National. Tznas was con fined, or rather chose to confine himself, to these, and carefully kept all the horrors inflicted on Spain entirely out of view, chiefly because he could not charge GUIZOT in this part of his foreign policy with having yielded to England. The liberty of Spain was cast to the winds when party interest came is the way. The only portion of TRIERS' speech that had the semblance of novelty related to the position of France in lespect to alliances with other States, and he frankly admitted that under pre sent circumstances France was not only isolated, but that she could not be otherwise, that she could form no alliance with Russia, Austria, or Prussia, and that compared with either of these England was preferable. These are his words :—" Much at present is said of continental alliances—you know my opinion on the subject. Permit me to tell you that there is something chimerical in alliances on the continent.

Mr. MITCHELL begs respectfully to submit a list of the EN GAGEMENTS, and an outline of the ARRANGEMENTS which le has entered into for the ENSUING SEASON of FRENCH PLAYS, which will commence on MONDAY EVENING. JAN. 27, and which, he trusts, will be deemed worthy the distinguished Patrenage hitherto conferred upon his Theatre. The Season will commence by the Engagement of Monsieur Lafont (of the Theatre des Varietes!, his First Appearance at this Theatre, for whose performance the popular Plays of " Le Che valier de Saint Georges," " Le Chevalier du Guet," " Pierre le Rouge," " Requefinette," " Pere et File, &c , &C., &c., will be produced. Mademoiselle Nathalie (ef the Theatre du Gymnase) will also appear conjointly with Monsieur Lafont. After whom, the eminent Actor, Monsieur Frederick Lemaitre (who has accepted an engagement for a limited number of Nights only), and Mademoiselle Clarisse, will appear, until the close of the Season at Easter. During the Engagement of Monsieur Frede rick Lemaitre, the popular Plays of " Don Casar de Baran," and "Ruy Bias," by Victor Hugo, as originally performed by him with so much success, will be produced ; as well as the last New Piece cal' the Porte St. Martin, which now excites such extraordinary interest in Paris, and in which M. Frederick has performed for Ten consecutive Weeks, entitled " La Dame de Saint Tropez." After Easter, the eminent Actress, Madame Albert (engaged for a few nights only), will appear in the Two New Comedies of the Theatre Francais, " Une Femme a Quarante Ans,'' and " Le Mari a la Campagne." in addition to " Mathilde, ou la Jalouise ;" and Marie, ou lee Trois Epochs;" with other favourite Pieces of her repertoire ; and will be succeeded by the popular Comic Actor, Monsieur Ravel (of the Theatre du Palais Royale), who will make his First Appearance in this Country. The Engagement of Monsieur Ravel will be followed by those of Mademoiselle Plessy, and Monsieur Regnier (of the Theatre Frameaii, his First Appearance in this Country). It is intended, at that period of the Season, to produce, under the superintendence of Monsieur Cartigny, some of the finest Comedies of the French Stage. In addition to which, Mr. Mitchell has the honour to announce, that an entirely New Comedy will be proctored, written expressly for the Company by the eminent French Author, Mon sieur Alexandre Dumas, who will be present in London to direct the raise es scene of his New Composition. The Favourite Actor, Monsieur Achard, is also engaged for a few Nighps, and will appear in the last New Vaudeville of Le flymnase, entitled " Babiole et Joblot," by Scribe, " Ywan le Moujick," and other New Pieces, with the occasional Representa tion of some of the most popular Plays of that admired Actor's repertoire. The Season will terminate by the Engagement of Monsieur Aal (of the Theatre du Vaudeville), who will have the honour of rn making his First Appearance at this Theatre, and during whose Engagement the following Popular Plays, as originally performed by Monsieur Arnal, will be produced :—" L'Homme Blase," " L'Hunsoriste," "Les Gants J.iune," " Passe Minuit," " Les Cabinets Particulaire," " Renaudin de Caen," " Le Poltron," " La 3fansarde du Crime," " Le Bal du Grande Monde," &c., ate. The Company for the Season will be carefully selected from the Theatres of Paris, including M. Cartigny, H. Oudinot, M. De champes (of the Gymnase), M. Masquillier (of the Porte St. Mortis), M. Lienard, M. Tourillon, M. Bizot, M. Bonnet, Mdlle. Eliza Forgeot, Mdme. Croset, Mdlle. Mery, Mdlle. Chaplin, Mdlle. Ozy (of the Varietes), Mdlle. Andrea (of the Porte St. Martin), Mdlle.

FA Co if --- , ------ rn .. Art. 20.—The Netherlands galliot IVille Cornelis, of Amsterdam, Reincke, master, from Alicata, laden with But 'h_u o r, whilst working out of port rs st .w erd ., ay m m iss min sta g, y f s o n r P ea n r t t l i cordam. the wind strong at entrance, St. Anthony's lighthouse on the eastern Poin h e t o , l i c t i nd after casting anchor, which unfortunately did not , she drove on the rocks, a rid, notwithstanding p rompt assi stance was rendered by b o as and men from the Dutc h man-of- war steamer V e suvius, lying in the roads, boundto tand also from the shore, she could not be got oft that tide, the the west gitiot having wind having then considerably freshene th d e from inird and' .N.W. ; in the meantime, struck heavily, beat off her rudder and very leaky, and little or no hopes existed of sa ving her, though every means were resorted to • s'he was' got o 8 o 1 4 sudden, in a shift of wind at three A.M., the rocks, and speedily anchored in comparative safety. The wind soon a f t erwards increased to a violent gale at. N.N.W, ; at noon, however, the Vesuvius having got up her steam, weighed anchor, ran down toleeward, speedily took the galliot in tow, and in an hour succeeded in Cringing her into the inner harbour. This is anothez proof of the valuable aid which can be afforded by steam power under circumstances of emergency, and where sailing vessels can afford little or no assistance ' • whilst to Captain Tullekoz, of the Vesu vius, it must be very gratifying that his incidental visit t 9, this port enabled him to render most opportune Oa timely aid to a vessel of his own nation. but not of peace at all price. Time will undoubtedly change the condition and the feeling of certain powers ; but at present there is not a single one of these alli ances which is possible. The longer war shall be kept distant from us, the greater chance there is to find al liances on the continent of Europe. In all alliances some sacrifices must be made. Thus, the first condi tion of an alliance with Russia would be the sacrifice of our interest in the East. An alliance with Austria would sanction for ever her rule over Italy; and that with Prussia, the most probable of all hereafter, would be to confine us for ever in the limits fixed by the treaties of 1815 ; so that it is my conviction that the solution of the great European questions—that of the East, for instance, and the interest of our revolu tion—require an alliance with England ; and I may add that the analogy of the two Governments will prevent England from again forming a coalition against us, as she did forty years back. The interest of our African possessions also requires the Eng lish alliance ; for a war with England, without pro ducing the loss of that colony—far from it—would considerable impede our intercourse with it. From all this, I come to the conclusion that we ought not to fling ourselves without conditions into the English alliance ; but that still it merits being maturely and seriously meditated on and weighed. How, then, since I am in favour of this alliance, have I differed from the present Cabinet ? In the manner of con ducting it—which is a most grave and important con sideration. The situation has become singularly modified of late years, and in the following manner —When you find in a country a party disposed to act efficiently with you, as was the case with the Whig party, then you may form an alliance with that coun try ; but when, in place of the Whigs, a Tery party is found in England, that is, a party holding itself on a certain reserve, and not wishing to act freely with France, then I say that you ought not to pledge yourself to that party, as you are new doing." Now nothing can show more the miserable shifts to which TIIIERS is driven to make out a case than the latter part of the quotation alluding to the Whigs. He would make an alliance with the Whigs, because they are disposed to act efficiently with France, yet the very orator himself was driven from office, be cause, if we are to believe his words, the 'Whig s deceived him. The Whigs would not act efficiently with France; and had he not been thrown aside by his SOVEREIGN he and his friends, the Whigs, would hare contrived in a month to bring on a bloody war. The reply of M. Guizor was a matter-of-fact speech, rebutting with precision and effect the charge brought against him by his oppo nent, and towards the close, where alone he made any attempt at eloquence, he produced far greater effect on the Chamber than the attacking party. It related to a delicate subject too—respect for England ; but he brought it forward boldly and carried the Chamber with him. He thus describes the KING'S visit to England : " France has often been at peace with England, but behind their outward show of friendship there always subsisted a jealous and hostile spirit of rivalry. The prosperity, progress, and activity of one of the Govern ments was a source of annoyance to the other. But this is no longer the case; fur both, acting in the pleni tude of their liberty, in place of being opposed as formerly, are able to aid each other. Such was the pre sent opinion of the two Governments. There are then, I say, two Governments in Europe who consider it their duty to act towards each other in a particular way, and act so ; they continually testify a mutual confidence in each other's intentions and acts, and the care of their gravest interests end neither in a rupture nor a coolness. —(Hear, hear.) The result then of all that I have just alluded to has been this : The King of the French went to England.—( Murmurs on the Left.) This result is not a conjectured one, but palpable and undoubted. It has been said that we have hurried on matters to admit of this visit. We precipitated nothing ; all was resolved maturely and independently ; and when nothing more existed to embarrass the two Governments, the King went to London. The propriety of this journey has certainly not been contested by any person, and its political utility cannot be impugned either. Although the personal inter course between Sovereigns is not at present so impor tant as at other periods and under other forms of go vernment, yet certainly they have a certain influence on the good accord of states and on the easy arrangement of affairs. You know the result of this visit, you have beheld the manifestations of the sentiments of the Queen of England, of her husbrnd, of those of the whole coun try, towards the King and dynasty of July, towards France herself, towards our policy of peace and libe ral Conservatism. Every one beheld this—Europe witnessed it—and do you suppose that the spec tacle is without fruit ? that France was weakened or humiliated by these incidents ? Ask where you please in Europe, and I will, beforehand, agree to accept the answer.—(Loud approbation.) But what Europe witnessed and comprehended, France her self also understood. I saw the King's return to France —I saw how he was everywhere welcomed—l saw a just pride displayed at the consideration with which he was greeted in England, and a just satisfaction at the re moval of all difficulties between the two States.—( A fresh burst of approbation.) I shall only add one word more on the question which has been alluded to so re peatedly in the course of oar discussion—l mean the Right of Search. I do not wish to give my words an extension beyond what facts will bear out. Ido not say that this question is already settled, for the conviction of England was that it was the only means of putting down the slave trade, and you all know with what honourable perseverance that question was prosecuted in England. It was then necessary to prove to England that other means might be devised tc effect the desired object. This was an immense step, and that step had been made by the nomi nation of the mixed Commission. Believe me, this Com mission is not appointed to elude the question—the names of the persons appointed to compose it, taken as they are from the most considerable of the two countries—will be a proof of the contrary. Gentlemen, such is the position ot' affairs at present, and there is a vast distance from this lofty region to mere party struggles. Ia which of the two will the Chamber place itself ? Will it side with mere party squabbles, or will it take into account great public interests ? Such is the question which the dis cussion will resolve. I have placed it before you in all its truth. The Chamber must decide.—(Approbation.)" With the exception of the Journal des Debats and the Globe, not one paper does justice to the Minister's Speech. They want a change, they call for variety, and care not who comes in, if Guizor only goes out. Even the Conservative Presse, though it cannot deny great merit to the reply of the Foreign Minister, con demns his policy. That journal thus sums up the debate : " Three speeches occupied the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday, which did not conclude until a quarter to seven o'clock—one of M. de Peyramont, of unmeasured length ; the second, of M. Thiers • and the third, of the Minister o f Forei g n Affairs. Neither M. Thiers nor M.Guizot had intended to speak on that occa sion, but having been attacked by M. de Peyramont with the same vehemence as if he had been a culprit before the Court of Assize, M. Thiers was compelled to ask leave to speak. Tho impression produced by his speech, except the part relative to the alliances, which appeared confused, feeble, and embarrassed, was such, that although it was near six o'clock, the Minister for Foreign Affairs would not suffer the sitting to conclude without replying to the attacks against his policy. It is impossible to place great THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY 25, 1845. talent at the service of a less worthy cause. M. Guizot has seldom spoken better, and, nevertheless, it must be admitted that he did not succeed in destoying the effect produced by M. Thiers' speech. The Chamber re mained cold, and separated under the sad and profound impression that, with more firmness, it would have been easy to have obtained the expulson of Abd-el-Kader from Morocco —ho who has been neither expelled nor confined to the interior of the country—as well as the formal disapprobati on of the culpable conduct of the m i ss ionary Pritchard, and the revision of the treaties of 1831 and 1833. It was only to have wished, in order to have obtained those advantages." On the following day more confidence in the stabi lity of the Ministry was evident on the Bourse, and the Funds improvel The Three per Cents. closed at 85f. 20c., said the New Loan at 86f. 35c.

A correspondent of the Times, in a letter pub lished in that journal on Thursday last, adverts to the recent announcements touching the arrival in this country, from the United States, of some of the Royal Sappers and Miners who " have been lately employed upon the survey of the boundary between that territory and British North America." He very naturally expatiates on the immense importance of accelerating the survey and settlement of the conter minous limits of the Oregon territory and that part of the dominions of the United States immediately impinging thereon ; and in re ference to our present condition of compa rative uncertainty, even as to the mere geographical or assumed frontier points, and of our absolute igno rance as to the physical features :of the boundary so needful to be promptly and distinctly ascertained, he expresses his astonishment that the Government should have hitherto taken no means for securing, towards the attainment of an object that is important and urgent in its nature, the invaluable aid and talents of certain distinguished individuals among its own servants, already engaged in another part of the American Continent on the Boundary Survey, under the stipulations of the ASHBURTON Treaty. In allu sion to Colonel ESCOTT and the other Commissioners charged with this latter survey, he remarks, that the return of the Sappers and Miners in question gives a colour of great probability to the general report, that the work in question approaches rapidly to its completion. If so, he demands, why should not the same officers, who have been selected on the express recommendation of our Astronomer Royal, for conducting the scientific operations under the ASHBURTON Treaty, be transferred, immediately on the completion of these labours, to the Oregon boundary ? And we quite concur in holding that no such means as those thus at hand and in full training for the work, can be collected again for ascertaining and determining the international boundaries between the Oregon territory and the United States, if the Commissioners in question be allowed to return to England without entering into this momentous investigation, whatever shape the Oregon affair may hereafter take—whether it result in a partition of that vast region between the two countries, or we shall insist upon our extreme and indefeasible right to the whole of it. In either case, it is very certain that the first and the indispensable step to be taken is —to survey and fix the line to be hereafter recognised as that which divides the Oregon country from the territory of the United States. " Better know what we should claim, and then claim it as becomes our country, than procrastinate until the invaded rights of our fellow-subjects imperatively de mand the presence of a British fleet in the North Pacific." This alternative we have ourselves, in treating of the Oregon question, so often urged upon the earnest consideration of the Government, that we do not feel called upon to go again into the general principles on which we have always regarded the occupation pro ject of the United States, as one which could neither be evaded nor postponed. We have shown, in many former articles on this subject, how completely we had crippled our own case with regard to the Canada Boundary question, by a culpable inactivity—an un accountable apathy—an unpardonable indifference to the palpable State necessities, which demanded that the reserved conditions of boundary stipulated by the treaty of 1763, between France and England, and, again, by our preposterous treaty with the United States, perpetrated at Ghent in 1814 ;—should be practically discharged by the actual survey and deter mination of that frontier which, in 1845, after refe rences and arbitrations, the award of which has been receded from with such singular bad faith on the part of America towards the Governments of this country and of the late King of HOLLAND, is now about to be finally ascertained and laid down. If delay,—that official delay which it is the misfor tune of Great Britain ever to complain of as the cer tain accompaniment or result of her diplomatic failures,—if this delay was to be deprecated in the case of the north-western and north-eastern boundaries of the United States—if the protracted adjustment of those territorial disputes, even in the moment of its tardy accomplishment, is only attainable by territorial sacrifices on our part, which, whether they he worthless or not, we ought never to have been in a condition of liability to be called upon to make ; delay in the settlement of the Oregon frontier is calculated to be productive now of infinitely greater embarrassment and mischief. For the reasons upon which it has been our duty so often to ground the case for the possessory title of Great Britain, we retain our conviction that the honour of this country is involved to a most serious extent in the vindication of that title. What the result of deliberations in the British Cabinet or the Legislature may be, as to any equitable suggestions that may be urged in favour of permissive occupation by subjects of the United States, or of territorial ex change, it is impossible for us to speculate upon. But the tone already assumed in two branches of the American Legislature on this Oregon question ; the unscrupulous policy and moral turpitude evinced by its Executive in their underhand intrigues in connexion with the PRESIDENT'S scheme for annexing Texas to the immense federal dominions of the United States ;—offer little prospect of our being enabled, with a just regard to the dignity and the just rights of that country, to find any course practicable that shall be short of a positive and abso lute demonstration of our sovereignty over the Oregon. The interests of a large and most valuable branch of our foreign commerce (though we advert to them as being of secondary importance to the great principles of inter-national law and territorial sovereignty, we contend for), especially demand, at the hands of our Government, a degree of attention and care, in dealing with this subject proportioned to the present and future importance of that region from whom the most valuable of the valuable furs that fini so ready a sale in the markets of China, are now supplied. On still higher considerations of. humanity, we do trust that a timely demonstration of earnestness of purpose, and energy of action, on the part of our Ministers and their diplo matic agents, may not only avert the extreme result of an ultimate collision between two great countries, and that sacrifice of human life which would inevi tably be entailed by such a collision, but, by rectifying one of those vague and undefined conditions of State relations, the mischievous tendencies of which it is im possible to exaggerate, may remove a baneful source of jealousies, excitement, and heartburnings between the American people and the British nation ; and thus tend, rather to the consolidation of friendly feelings, than the exacerbation of resentful ones, in those whom it is for the benefit of the civilised world, of universal civilisation, to retain in reciprocal amity. The accounts from Madrid are to the 16th inst. The Gazette of that day contains an important docu ment, namely, a royal decree appointing a Com mission, under the Finance Minister, to prepare a 13111 for indemnifying the proprietors of lay tithes for losses sustained by acts of the Cortes. It con tains, also, a circular addressed by the Minister of the Interior to the political chiefs of towns, directing them to adopt measures for carrying into effect the new measures relative to municipal corporations. In the Chamber of Deputies the Clergy Endowment Bill was still under discussion, and from all accounts would be carried without any material amendment. At the FRANCE. MAJORITY FOR THE FRENCH MINISTRY PARIS, THURSDAY EVRNINO. The Chamber having passed yesterday from th• general discussion to the paragraphs of the Address, M. de Came proposed the following amendment to the first paragraph : " Our labours ended a few months ago in th• midst of complication that clear-sighted and firm conduct might have prevented, or terminated in a more satisfactory manner." The amendment was to-day sustained by Messrs. Cremeux and Billault, and opposed by M. do Gas perm and the Minister of the Interior, after which the question was put to the vote, when there ap peared : Against the amendment 223 For it . Majority for Ministers .... 28 The Chamber rose at a quarter past six o'clock. Thus the question of confidence raised upon the first paragraph has been settled in spite of the co alition ; for although the paragraph related to Mo rocco merely, yet the amendment was so worded as to affect the whole policy of Ministers. _ _ Our correspondent, writing at seven o'clock, says that the result, considering the coalition, is of the most satisfactory character in the estimation of well informed political persons.—Herald. FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, JAN. 21.—The Chamber of Represen tatives discussed and adopted to-day the project of law on the importation of cattle. It then proceeded to the project of law relative to contagious diseases among cattle. Articles 1,2, and 3 were agreed to. The King of Bavaria has just adopted an important measure respecting the navigation of the Rhine ; he has decided that goods embarked in one of the ports of Rhenish Bavaria shall enjoy the restitution of all tolls coming to Bavaria, in the whole portion of the river through which they have passed. This measure, which has been long since adopted by France and Holland, must necessarily be adopted by the other States on the banks of that river, if they will not see their ports deserted for those of Bavaria. It will lead sooner or later to the complete abolition of the Rhine toll, which is absolutely necessary, if the navigation of the river is to support the competi tion with the railways. The King will not set out for Ardenne until to morrow. His Majesty will be accompanied in this excursion by Mr. Conway. His Majesty will pro bably go also to St. Hubert, and will return by the end of the month. CONSTANTINOPLE, DEC. 31.—1 t is well known that about four years ago the French Ambassador promised the protection of his Government to the charitable society fur the relief of poor Franks (Societa Com merciale Artigiana), which led to unpleasant discus , - sions with some representatives of Roman Catholic Powers whose subjects would not have the protection of a foreign Power forced upon them. The conduct of the French Legation was considered to be wise, as a new attempt to appear as the first protecting power of the Catholic interests in the East, which must seem the more strange in the present case, as the question related to a temporal, purely charitable institution, in which all nations took part. An arrangement has been made by which the Societa Artigiana is to be successively, for one year, under the protection of the Catholic Powers which have representatives here, in alphabetical order.

" A work from the graphic pen of Harry Lorrequer, illustrated by George Cruikshank (observes the John Bull) carries with it such a rec - immendation as may almost defy criticism. And, truth to say, we hardly know how to convey an adequate notion of the exuberant whim and drollery by which these volumes are charac terised. They are a perpetual feast of gaiety. Adven ture succeeds to adventure, scene to scene, character to character, and in all so much variety, so much genuine humour, that every taste must find something wherewith to be pleased. Mr. Lever's style is admirably adapted, from its dashing character, to delineate such scenes as he has chosen for his hero." We have every reason to believe, from information received from Oxford, that in deference to the opinion of a large number of the members of Convocation who have expressed their dissent from the proposed altera tions, the intended additions to the Statute, title xvii., sect. 3, "De Auctoritate et Officio VicJ-Cancellarii," will he withdrawn ; and so form no part of the acade mical business to be considered and determined on upon the 13th of February. ROBBERY FROM A. CAD AT THE TERMINUS OF TSUI LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAlLWAY.—Yesterday morn ing, between twelve and one o'clock, the following articles were stolen from the cab No. 1,190, at the terminus of the London and Birmingham Railway, viz.:-21 tea spoons, 10 large table-spoons, 4 sauce ladles, 1 fish knife, 18 silver forks, 1 large fork, and one wine strainer, all silver. It appeared that the cab was engaged by the steward of the ship. Blond, lately arrived from Calcutta, to convey him to the railway station. On arriving at the station he had some altercation with the cabman as to the fare, and after removing some valuable property from the cab, he paid the fare ; and immediately after wards he recollected that he had left a bundle, containing the above-mentioned articles, in the cab, but on return ing to the spot the cab was gone. In the course of the morning he met the cabman, and gave him into custody. He denied all knowledge of the robbery, stating that he left the cab in the care of ayoung man while he went with the steward, Maynard, to got change for a sovereign, and that soon after he took up a lady, and drove for some distance. On Thursday Mr. Higgs held at inquest, at th. St. George's Hospital, on the body of John Henry Gibson, aged 23, late a patient in this hospital, and of No. 14, Earl -street, Kensington. Mary Gibson, a night nurse, said deceased was admitted into the York ward on the 15th instant, and she saw him safe at half past eleven on Friday night, when at his request she changed his linen. He then took her band and kissed it, saying. " God bless you, I hope you will never be afflicted as I am." She went into the King's ward, and in ten minutes a patient in the York ward called her to deceased, whom she found in bed with his throat cut, and an open razor lying on the counterpane of his bed. Several medical gentlemen were immediately in attendance. Mr. Potter, house-surgeon, described the treatment pursued after the self-infliction of the injury. Diarrhoea, his Drigipel complaint, from ulceration of the bowels, in conjunction with the effects of the wound, carried him off on Satur day afternoon. Whilst sensible, witness asked him why he had cut his throat ? and he wrote upon a slate, " I gave you all so much trouble, that I wished to put an end to myself." If he had been a healthy man, ho might have recovered from the effects of the wound. Verdict— " Died from natural caches .
