talamorgatt was increaeing at the rate of 19 per cent., and Durham. at the rate of 17. The Noble Lord had objected to including Gillingham within the bounds of Chatham, which was only one mile from Chatham ; while Cardiff was united with Tydvil, which was six miles away. Merthyr Tydvil, with 22,000 inhabitants, was only to have the sixth part of a Member, while Bradford, Oldham, Halifax, and several other towns, with a few thousand more people, were each to have two Members. There was a similar anomaly with regard to Deal, which was added to Sandwich to preserve its two Members, while Tydvil, with nearly four times as much population, was refused one. Again, there were several towns which were to receive one Member, each of which had less than 20,000 people. The Noble Lord enumerated several places with ten, and eleven, and twelve thou.and people, which were to receive one Member, particularly Walsall, which was surrounded with representatives. The Noble Lord also referred to several of the boroughs, such as Caine, Tavie tock, and Horsham, which, not having above 3,000 people, were allowed to retain one Member. He contended that allowing such anomalies to remain in the Bill made it a measure of injustice. He had shown, he trusted, that Merthyr Tydvil had better claims than Gateshead to a Member, and could not see on what grounds its claim. should he resisted, unless on the original ground, that Wales was not to be treated equally to England. Merthyr Tydvil was a place which stood alone in interest and in geographical position, amid altogether had stronger claims on a Member than any unrepresented place in the king dom. It would he an act of injustice not to grant a Mem ber to Merthyr Tydvil._ (Hear.) Lord J. RUSSELL expected that the Noble Lord would have laid down some better rule than that adopted by Ministers, when he reproached them with following a varied rule. The Noble Lord, however, to make out his case, hod referred to some boroughs placed in schedule B. Did the Noble Lord then wish to extend disfranchise ment ?—(Hear, hear.) When the Noble Lord brought forward any proposition of that kind, he would not find him (I.ord J. Russell) backward in supporting him.— (Hear, hear.) According to the Noble Lord's own show ing there were other towns with a smaller population than Gateshead, such as Whitby, which ought not to be enfran chised. and the Noble Lord ought to move to substitute Merthyr Tydvil for one of them. Gateshead contained 15,000 inhabitants, was increasing in population, and Lad a flourishing manufacture. If, therefore, Merthyr Tydvil was to have a Member, it ought to have that Member at the expense of some other place than Gateshead. If the Noble Lord were to carry the general principles into effect into Wake, he must disfranchise a number of the old and small boroughs in Wales.—(Hear, hear.) Ministers, however, finding that it would be more satisfactory to the inhabitants of Wales to preserve their old boroughs, had prsterved them. , They found ore of these close to Merthyr Tydvil, and they thought it was quite consistent wi , h the principles of representation which already existed in Wales to unite Merthyr Tydvil with that borough. It would have been more handsome of the Noble Lord if he had offered to resign the third Member which Monmouth had received, and give him to Merthyr Tydvil, instead of taking one from Gateshead. It was said that Durham was better represented than any other county. But how was this proved? The Noble Lord then referred to the population returns of eight or ten counties, for the purpose of proving that the South had a great advantage in point of representation, and that, if they were to take population as their criterion. they would find that many of those counties had one Member for every ten or fifteen thousand, while Durham had only one in twenty-eight. The coun ties of the South had obtained representation in the first instance because they were rich and populous, and the counties in the North were then neglected because they were poor. Now the counties of the North were become also rich and flourishing, and, therefore, they were to have their due proportion of the representation. Sir R. PEEL was anxious to bring the question at issue within the smallest possible compass, and he should therefore confine himself to but one test of the propriety of the Noble Lord's argument when he preferred giving a member to Gateshead instead of Merthyr Tydvil. He would take as his test the town of Toxteth Park, and he believed he should be able to show the Noble Lord that, according to his own argument, and according to the prin niples of the Bill, Toxteth Park was better entitled to a Member than Gateshead. Applying, indeed, the Noble Lord's argument with respect merely to representation in connection with comparative population, what d:d the Noble Lord say to the fact that the county of Durham, with a population of 253,000, has four Members, and the county of Lancaster, with a population of 1,335,900 was to have only four Members?—(Hear, hear.) Why, even taking away the million, still Lancashire was not so fully represented as Durham, for there was no Member for 80,000 people.—(Hear, hear.) But, returning to the question of Toxteth Park. The lion. Member for Livci pool 'had, 111 e 6 former Aiscuseion, etekt...l tl..t tit pco p'e of Toxteth Park were not at all anxious to have a separate representative, or to be severed from the political connection with the town of Liverpool. Now, he held in his hand the copy of a letter, addressed to the Secretary for the Home Depirtment by the chairman of a public meeting held at Toxteth Park, in which an urgent claim is preferred for one Member in the distribution of the representation. (The Right Hon. Gentleman read the letter.) Having said so much with respect to the wishes of the people of Toxteth-park, he was also enabled to add, that they were not in the same per;ah as Liverpool, and that the Magistrates of Liverpool exercise no jurisdiction in any part of the town. Having thus disposed of the three objections mainly relied on— namely, the wishes of the people, the question of being extra parochial (though that was not of much importance), and the jurisdiction of the Magistrates—lie would now proceed to consider the equality of the claims of Toxteth Park and Gateshead, premising that Liverpool, with which it was proposed to leave Toxteth connected, had only two Members fur 165,000 persons, while Newcas tle, from which they wished to separate Gateshead, had two Members for 49,000. What, in the first place, was the relative value of property in Gateshead and Newcastle? In 1815, the annual value of propertyassessed was 25,0001. in Gateshead, and 27,000/. in Toxteth ; but on the last annual valuation, the property of Toxteth was 94,000/. ([[ear.) Then, if they looked at the amount of popula tion, they would find that Gateshead had 15,000, and Toxteth Park 26,000, the population of Gateshead having risen from 11,000 to 15,000 since 1621, while Toxteth had doubled itself in the same period, and had at the same time 2,617 ten-pound houses.—(Hear.) He could add hut little to a statement of this kind in the way of argu ment. It was, he thought, most important, that in dis erabuting the representation they should draw a dis tinction between places which were nearly stationary, or increasing slowly, and those which were increasing with the rapidity of Tuxteth Park.—( Hear.) All he would say, therefore, was, that if there was anything in figures, or if any conclusions could be drawn from plain statements of facts, Toxteth Park was entitled to a Member in prefer ence to Gateshead.--(Hear, hear.) Mr. EWART admitted that he had not been aware of the fact of the public meeting being held at Toxteth, and that the inhabitants were so anxious to have a represen tative; but this he would say, that admitting Toxteth to have 24,000 people, how were they, if they gave it one Member, to pass over the claims of the 170,000 inhabi t sots of the other suburbs of Liverpool ? He could not, indeed, understand how those who resisted the clause for giving representatives to the suburbs of the metropolis had the inconistency to propose a Member for Toxteth. Lord ALTHORY would allow that the Right Hon. Baronet's statements might show good reason for giving a representative to Toxteth, but none for refusing to enfran chise Gateshead. As the Right Hon. Baronet had not touched tbe question of Merthyr Tydvil, he (Lord Althorp) would not follow him through these statetnenss, but merely observe, that they might be applied with success to the disfranchising one of the smallest boroughs in schedule B, in seder to give a representative to Toxteth or Merthyr Tydvil. .sir. LABOUCHERE said he thought he should best discharge his duty, and at the same time follow up the principal of true representation, and promote the interests of the Bill, by voting to give a Member to Merthyr Tydvil instead of to Gateshead, as that place would, under ' any circumstances, be sufficiently represented by the Members for Newcastle.—(Hear, hear.) He had supported Alinisters to the utmost of his humble abilities throughout the discussions on the Bill. This was the only instance in which he had diffe re d w i t h them, or separated from them fur a moment ; but b e t h ought that, as a matter of justice, it was his duty to vote for Merthyr Tydvil obtain ing a Member instead of Gateshead, which was already so closely connected with, and might be fully represented by the Members for Newcastle.—(He a r, heir, hear.) Sir M. W. RIDLEY argued at some length that the interests of Gateshead were so different from Newcastle, that it could not he adequately represented by the Mem. bers for that place. Sir R. VY V YAN bad never heard a clearer or more convincing statement than that of the Right Hon. Baronet (Sir R. Peel). The question was purely, were they pre pared to give a Member to Gateshead, connected as it was with Newcastle, instead of giving it to Toxteth or Merthyr Tydvil, which, with much greater population, wealth, and importance, were wholly unrepresented? l. Mr. CROKER also considered the statement of the I'S Right Hon. Baronet (Sir Robert Peel) most decisi v e. It 4- had been stated by an Hon. Gentleman that there were if .. wenty places wore entitled to be represented than Gab 9 " \ . head ; but it was rather strange to found upon that an argument that the Member for Gateshead should be pre served. He (Mr. C.) knew at least ten places of greater po pulation, of greater wealth, and, which was the most im portant consideration, at a greater distance from any other represented place, than Gateshead ; and to any one of which places, therefore, the preference ought to be given. Adverting to the instructions which had been given to the Parliamentary Commissioners, he mentioned that those instructions seemed absolutely to prescribe to them to ex clude Gateshead. In the county of Durham, there were six boroughs in a circle of ten miles; four of which were new creations. There was a greater number of Members eccumulated by the Bill in the north-east corner of Dur ham than even in the metropolis. There could not he a stronger proof that Toxteth Park required representation than that it was so distinct from Liverpool, that the Hon. Member for Liverpool was not aware that a public meeting had taken place at Toxteth Park on the sub ject, and had consequently on a former evening mis-stated the opinions of the inhabitants. He (Mr. Croker) admitted that, on all the principles of the Bill, Mer thyr Tydvil had a superior claim to Toxteth Park ; for it was more extensive in wealth and population, was twenty seven miles from any other represented place, and had no connection with any such place. But while he allowed this, be could assure the inhabitants of Toxteth Park that they need not despair. There were other cases still grosser than that of Gateshead, which would afford abundant means of giving Toxteth Park a representative, and in considering the respective merits of which the ad vocates for Toxteth Park would most assuredly have the triumph in argument, whatever they might have in numbers. Mr. EWART observed that the Right Hon. Gentleman had charged him with having misrepresented (Mr. Croker slid across the table " mis-stated")—with having mis stated the opinion of the inhabitants of Toxteth Park ; the fact being. merely that he had not heard of that opinion. He would, however, take a lesson on the subject from the Right Hon. Gentleman, the singular accuracy of whose statements could be equalled only by the extraordinary modesty with which they were delivered.—(Hear, hear, hear.) He objected to any proposition such as that made by the Hon. Member for Carmarthen, because, if they once introduced such changes in the Bill, it might be dif ficult to stop. Mr. CROKER said if the Hon. Member wished for a lesson from him he should have one. It was this—what he had charged the Hon. Gentleman with he bad stated in a Parliamentary way, frankly aid openly. Would the Hon. Gentlema❑ take this lesson from him ? to learn to scorn low insinuation, and mean and calumnious sarcasm ? —(Hear, hear.) Would the Hon. Member tell him of a single statementWOUli the Hon. Mend er put his finger upon one assertion, which he (Mr. Croker) had ever made in Parliament, or elsewl ere, inwhich he was not supported by the fact ? It was frequently the cue that when a man found he had a bad cause, he endeavoulted to pick a quarrel with his nearest neighbour. He did not wish to quarrel with the Hon. Member, but if the Hon. Member must have a quarrel, he should have it.—(Loud cries of Hear, hear ! Chair ! Chair !) The CHAIRMAN appealed to the good sense and Par liamentary experience of the Right Hon. Gentleman if it was worth his while to pursue this course of observations. Mr. CROKER replied that the lion. Chairman had put the matter in a way in which he perfectly agreed with him. It was not worth his while.—(Hear, hear.) Lord MILTON contended that he instructions which had been given to the Parliamentary Commissioners were not liable to the interpretation which had been put upon them by the Right Hon. Gentleman. Lord D. STEWART thought that it would be better to give one Member to Cardiff and other to Merthyr Tydvil, or two Members to the towns jointly, than to give Members to the places named in the schedule. Mr. RUSSELL said a few words which were not dis tinctly heard in the gallery. Lord SANDON thought he was bound to state that he had that night, on his way into the House, met a deputy from Toxteth Park, who stated that he spoke the feelings of numerous public meetings, and that the inhabitants were unanimous i❑ their wish for represen tation,—(Cheers,)--and that they expressed great regret at their wishes not having been before understood.— (Cheers.) They farther regretted that their memorial to tl e Secretary of the Home Department had been lost sight of.—(Cheers.) For himself he would say, that he considered Durham already sufficiently represented ; and be thought Merthyr Tydvil had that distinct and extensive interest which entitled it to representation.—(Hear, bear.) _ . . Mr. STANLEY observed that, in the course of the debate, some expressions had fallen from Hon. Members which, in a cooler moment, they could not fail to regret, and which he doubted not must have given pain to the whole House. His Hon. Friend, the Member for Liver. pool, LaA, in attemptin g to retort upon an accusation of inaccuracy made against him by the Right Hon. Gentle man (Mr. Croker), used an expression—political tergiver sation—which was calculated to give offence to the Right Hon. Gentleman. But he was quite confident that " ter giversation' was not the word his Hon. Friend intended to use. It was not at all applicable, and it might have been observed he (Mr. Ewart) paused for a moment before he used it, in search of some more appropriate word. In reply to his Hon. Friend, however, the Right Hon. Gentleman had used the expressions—" attempting to pick a quarrel," " mean and calumnious attacks," and the like—which were not in accordance with the courtesy ob served in that House ; and then, when the Honourable Chairman had put to the Right Hon. Gentleman, whether it was worth his while to pursue a personal quarrel of this nature farther, he had used the words—" It is not worth my while," with a tone and manner, and with a gesture, which was certainly calculated to convey an im pression of personal offence to his Hon. Friend. It would, accordingly, be a great satisfaction to the House if both Hon. :Members disclaimed the intention of giving personal offence.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. ENVART rose to confirm what had fallen from his Right Hon. Friend.--(Hear, hear.) He did not intend to offer any insult to the Right Hon. Gentleman, or to convey any ungenerous sentiment.—(Hear, hear.) He had used the word " tergiversation" unintentionally, and nothing could be farther from him that any wish upon his part to hurt the Right Han. Gentleman's feelings. He was sorry for the expression, and bad not the intention of casting on the Right Hon. Gentleman a shadow of the im. putation which it was supposed to convey.—(Hear.) Mr. CROKER said that the words to which his reply had been particularly addressed were, that " his inaccuracy had become proverbial." It was to that opinion he bad directed his answer. But if the Hon. Member did not mean any insinuation against him, his reply was uncalled for; and as there was nothing which it could meet, he had no hesitation in saying it fell to the ground.—(Cheers.) He had also no hesitation in saying, that he regretted that the Hon. Member had not a little more clearly ex plained himself.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. EWART said he had only intended to use " inac curacy" in the same sense in which it had been previously applied to himself by the Right Hon. Gentleman.—(fhe Hon. Member made one or two other observations, which were not audible in the gallery:). Sir C. WETHERELL expressed himself favourable to the amensiment. Mr. HUNT concurred with him on this question. Mr. A. BARING said that Gateshead had, in propor tion to its size and wealth, a greater number of freemen of Newcastle resident in it, than Newcastle itself ; and re marked that the,e residents of Gateshead would, under the Bill, enjoy a right of voting for both places ; since, as they were within seven miles of Newcastle, their right, as freemen of that borough, would not be forfeited. Sir M. RIDLEY ;aid, that out of 3,000 freemen of Newcastle, there were only 200 resident at Gateshead, and that among them there were not ten 101. householders. The Committee then divided— For the Amendment 167 Against it 214 Majority for Ministers On the re-admission of strangers to the Gallery, we found Lord MORPETH referring to a petition from Hudders field, which he had that evening presented in the absence of his Majesty's Ministers. He thought that the repre sentations of the petitioners were entitled to some consi deration. They stated that the town was the property of one individual, and that the inhabitants hold their pro- perty on as frail a tenure as the electors of any borough in the kingdom ; they therefore prayed that the whole pa rish should he included in the new borough. Mr. LYTTLETON said that the Commissioners, in adjusting the boundaries of the new boroughs, had not taken into account either the persons or the political party to whom any town belonged. Lord MILTON denied that the whole, or even the greater part, of Huddersfield belonged to one individual. Mr. STRICKLAND thought that the importance of Huddersfield was such as to entitle it to two Members, and that the whole parish ought to be included in the borough. Mr. RAMSAY said that the whole of the town, ex cept one house, belonged to a noble relation of his, and had belonged for generations to the same family, but he denied the property had ever been used for electioneering purposes. The Resolution that Huddersfield stand part of sche dule D was then agreed to. Kidderminster, Kendal, and Rochdale, were then seve rally voted part of the schedule, without discussion. On the question being put that Salford (Lancashire) stand part of the Schedule, Mr: STUART WORMY protested against giving a member to Salford, as that was, in effect, giving three Members to Manchester. If S Ilford was not to be consi iered a part of Manchester, it would be entitled to two Members. Lord ALTHORP'S reply was utterly inaudible. Salford was then agreed to; after which the House resumed, the Chairman reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again to-morrow (this day). The Committee on the Navy Civil Departments' Bill was postponed till this day. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at One o'Clock. THE REFORM BILL. There were only 331 Members in the House last night on the division whether Gateshead should be left out of Schedule D, and Merthyr Tydvil substituted. The numbers were-214 for keeping Gateshead in the Schedule, and 167 against; of which number there were 27 who have supported the Bill in general, reducing the number of the Opposition to 147, LIST OF TH.

That sprightly Peer, the Marquis of LONDON DERRY, had the rare luck last night to find another mare's nest, eggs and all. Really there is no end to the astuteness of this shrewdest of Britain's aristocrats ! He is ever popping on some extraordinary discovery ; ever exercising his in ventive faculties, to the grievous disparagement of his judgment ; and ever repaid for such ingenuity by the ridicule and ingratitude of an alarming majority of the community. If his Lordship— who, in his own line, is a greater discoverer than CoLumßus—proceed much further in this fashion, we shall not despair of hearing in the fullness of time that he has discovered the longitude. His Lordship's great triumph last night was his fancied detection of the insurrectionary pro pensities of Lord PONSONBY. He imagined that he had here caught a traitor. Alas ! it was a Tartar he had clutched in mistake. The Noble Marquis observed that " Lord PON SONBY was charged, while in Belgium, with inciting a large party to insurrection in favour of the House of Nassau—he himself being one of the principals—and, when that conspiracy was nearly brought to a conclusion, with deserting those who, but for his suggestions, would never have been concerned in the insurrection." Wai any thing so preposterous, so utterly impossible, ever heard of, as this charge ! With quite as much justice might the Noble Marquis have accused Lord PONSONBY of having formed one of that rude party who, a few months' since, when he was on his road with a " mare's-nest" to the House of Lords, filled their coat pockets with brick-bats, for the purpose of practically ascertaining—to such extraordinary lengths will the love of science drive some men !—the exact thickness of his aristocratic sconce. Lord PONSONBY repelled the accusation with the signal contempt it deserved. " He stood before their Lordships," he declared, " on his character"—a character, by-the-bye, which, so far as we can learn, has never yet been illus strated by the descriptive epithet of " this is too bad !" His Lordship's reply at once brought home conviction to the mind of the Noble Mar quis, who ingenuously avowed that " he should sit down satisfied with having done a great ser vice to the character of the diplomacy of the country." How, at what period, or under what circumstances, the modern COLUMBUS has done this great service to his country's diplomacy, we profess not in the remotest degree to comprehend. If to bring forward in the gravest of tones the gravest, yet the most preposterous and ridiculous charges against a British Ambassador, holding a foremost station on the Continent, be to do a service to the national diplomacy—then, indeed, we can readily believe that the Noble Marquis has been a benefactor to a pretty considerable extent ; but until it can be satisfactorily proved that to endeavour to throw ridicule and ob loquy on the ambassadorial function is to elevate it in public opinion, we must take leave to enter our protest against any such assumption. The Noble Marquis, if we mistake not, was once an Ambassador himself ; the situation must have been a distressing one to a statesman of his peculiar turn of intellect : but, setting this consideration aside, surely his own disinterested patriotism must have convinced him how very unlikely, nay, how impossible, it was that any one member of that high diplomatic corps could have played the part of traitor, first to his own country ; secondly, to that to which he was accredited W e shall look with considerable interest, but, we must confess, ssith no little apprehension as to the result, for the Noble Marquis's next discovery. The House of Commons again went into Committee last night on the Reform Bill, and proceeded with schedule D. Mr. TREVOR moved that Stockton-upon -Te es be introduced into this schedule, which, however, was nega tired without a division. Bury in Lancashire, and Ashton-under-Lyne % were agreed to without any discussion. The proposal for enfran chising Gateshead called forth much ob servation, mingled with no slight per sonalities, in consequence of Colonel WOOD having put in the prior claim of Merthyr-Tydvil. Ministers, however, carried their point in favour of Gateshead, by a majority of 47. We would gladly have learned that Merthyr-Tydvil was to return a Member, for it is a populous, influential, and fast-increasing place. In the course of the evening, Mr. HUNT, alluding to the cholera, said that he felt sure that many cases occurred which were never re ported, and instanced four deaths which had taken place, in the course of last weak, within two hundred yards of his own residence. On Sunday, the Hon. Member added, not less than seven corpses were carried by his house and buried in a church-yard, which was only divided by a rail from the main road. In reply to some incidental remarks by Mr. HUME on the same subject, Mr. P. THOMSON said that so far from the medical gentlemen receiving twenty guineas, the greater proportion were paid but seven shillings and sixpence a day. We stated yesterday that the French expedi tion to Italy had no doubt arrived at its desti nation ; and to-day we learn that a portion of the army landed at Ancona on the 22d February. The appearance of the French on the coast, and their immediate disembarkation, created a great sensation, not only among the inhabitants, but also among the troops of his HOLINESS. The Austrians were rather at a loss in what light to view the matter, until Ge neral GRABOWSKI issued an order of the day, stating that the expedition was directed by principles similar to those of Austria, and that the High Powers were perfectly agreed upon the course taken by France. If we may credit some of the French journals received this morning, Prince NIETTERNIcH IS as much at a loss as the inhabitants of Paris, with respect to the consequences likely to grow out of this expedition. The Government of the POPE is at a loss to find money ; the loans are exhausted, and the taxes difficult to be collected ; still the troops must be paid, and the exaction of heavy contributions only tends to perpe tuate that spirit of discontent which it is de sirable to conciliate. In this dilemma the presence of the French troops, though they may uphold the authority of his Holiness, will still more promote the disaffection of the Liberals, who will derive increased confidence from the protection of the French. Cardinal ALBANI has published a severe edict at Bologna against what he terms the se ditious and rebellious spirit prevalent in the Four Legations. He enumerates a variety of crimes which are to be punished in the most rigorous manner : and all persons guilty of any of these are to be subjected to the mercy of a temporary Tribunal established at Bologna for that purpose. It appears that the Cardinal has been counselled in this matter by the Duke of MODENA, who paid a visit incog. to Bologna. The Duke is memorable for the proscription of many noble Italians and the execution of the lamented MENOTTI. How far the sanuui nary character of the measures adopted may further the objects of the POPE, remains to be seen; but one thing is clear, that the presence of the French troops must greatly embarrass the Cardinal in his sanguinary proceedings. The Italian question altogether seems embroiled in as much perplexity as the most ingenious Diplomatist can wish. The following we extract from the French Papers received by express. The Duke of ORLEANS was to have set out for Toulon yesterday : (From the Meesager des Chambres.) We spoke yesterday of couriers who had arrived the day before from Vienna, at the residence of the President of the Council. Another courier, coming from the same city, arrived on the preceding evening at the Ambassador of Austria's. It was asserted that their despatches were favourable, and pro mised a happy conclusion of the affairs of Italy. We have this evening less reason to be confident on this head. The hopes which we should wish to preserve would not agree with the lan guage of persons attached to the Austrian Embassy, nor with letters from Vienna and Bologna. (From the Courricr Francais.) AItRIVAL OF THE FRENCH SQUADRON at ANCONA. We stated yesterday that news of our expedition to Italy might be received before the commencement of the debate on the budget of foreign affairs. Our predictions have been verified. We have seen to-day a letter from Bologna, of the 23d February, which gives the following details : " On the 21st, at six o'clock in the evening, a French vessel and two frigates entered the port of Ancona. A French Corn. missary landed alone, and the Papal troops retired within the fortress." " ORDER OF THE DAY, Fan. wasn of the a b o Papalut to the subject of sps h spread ai nyisnogr h r, a , r t h a a srotx n , ni t e v r a do l a coa s t q n s yts u h a eb d e r e o n g e ner a l conversation, good and tranquil citizens saw in thi s f ac t a presage of a melancholy future, because the revolutionary p ar ty rejoiced, and conceived from it new and chimerical hope s . It must be remarked that whatever may be the mov e m en t s o f th e disembark Static, and s o m e report thishaving ;vnt tro o ps s go • French vessels, such an expedition can be directed but by prin ciples similar to those which have engaged the troops of his Im perial Majesty to enter the Legations—that is to say, principles, the object of which is neither rebellion nor anarchy, which tend to overthrow the authority of legitimate power. The high Powers, comprising France, perfectly agree upon this point. Whether the reports be true or false, they cannot give rise to disquiet respecting the anirs of the Pontifical States. I feel my self called upon to give this information to the troops of the dif ferent corps for their guidance. "GENERAL GRABOWSKI." A letter from Ancona of the 2•2 d February states that on that same day there were two frigates and a French vessel in that port, having on board 1,100 men ready to land. The latest letters received from Rome are of the date of the 21st ult. Nothing could yet be known there of the appearance of our ships before Ancona after a passage of only fourteen days. These letters say nothing either of the mission of Ge neral Cubieres ; we trust that he has been forced to put in in sonic port of Corsica, as stated by letters from Toulon. If he were on the:l9th still at Porte Vecchio, he will not be able to ar. rive until several days after the expedition he is to command. His purpose in going by sea was to travel more speedily. The effects of the bad weather, which is so common at this season of the year, were not calculated upon. The General quitted Paris on the 9th, and with no great haste he might have reached Rome on the 18th by land. These delays may be prejudicial to our van-guard in landing ; for doubtless the forces we are about sending to the Adriatic will not be limited to two frigates and a single ship. (From the Temps•) ' Letters from Madrid of the 'Xid February state, that upon the representations of the English Ambassador and the Chargé d'Affaires of France, the Spanish Government has suspended its military preparations in defence of Don Miguel ; the Spanish corps are merely to form an army of observation. It does not appear probable that Spain should thus have given up her 'pre. vious resolution ; it is too much at variance with the character of the Spanish Government. The change which is said to have taken place in the system of that Government is attributed to the new Minister of Foreign Affairs. CHAMBER OF PISERS—MARcm 3. At one o'clock the proces verbal was read. The President—The Order of the Day is the report of the Commission on the project of law relative to the repeal of the law of the 19th of January, 1816. Is the reporter here? If he be not, we shall proceed to deliberate on the projects of law relating to Localities.—These laws were adopted. The President—ls the reporter of the Commission on the law of the 19th January, 1811, present ?—(" Yes, yes.") M. De Tascher—The Chamber of Deputies not having ad. mitted the amendmentby which you thought proper to modify the first resolution of that Chamber, relative to the repeal of the law of the 19th of January, 1816, this resolution ills been brought back to the Chamber of Peers. You have sent hack to the same Commission a question which is still the same.— This proof of confidence would have rendered us but the more willing to renew our labours, had not the matter been identi. cally the same, which we had already examined with the ma. ture attention and the spirit of conciliation which the expressed wish of the elective Chamber had a right to expect. You must easily conceive that the opinion of your Commission can have undergone no change. It is nevertheless time to close a debate which cannot continue without affecting the dignity and pro. priety that ought to be inseparable from Parliamentary proceed. ings. It behoves you to put an end to it by closing these de bates without delay. Your Commission can have no hesitation in proposing the means of effecting this. It has the honour of proposing to you, unanimously, the rejection of the resolution of the other Chamber for the repeal of the law of the 19th Ja. nuary, 1816.—(" The vote, the vote.") The President—An immediate deliberation is demanded. (Yes, yes; No, no.) The Count Dejean-1 do not think it is at all proper to de liberate on the proposition. I think that we ought to act calmly, and not precipitately. Let the usual forms be observed. The President—The demand for immediate deliberation being supported, I shall put it to the vote. The Chamber decided by a large majority that the subject should be taken under immediate consideration. The Count Cornet reminded the Chamber that he was not a Member of the Legislative Assembly until five years after this sacrifice of Louis XVI. ; he deplored the death of that King, but must vote against the conclusions of the Commission. The President read the single article of the resolution of the Chamber of Deputies, couched in the following terms—" The law of the 19th of January is repealed." The Duke de Choiseul.-1 should have wished not to speak on this painful question. My attachment and devotedness to Louis XVI., my respect for his memory, and fer that of his august Consort, made me tear the influence of my feelings. I abstained from taking part in the first debate. The question is again laid before us. As a Frenchman, a Peer, and a faith. ful servant of Louis XVI., I am bound to declare my opinion. The orator considered he would now obey the last wishes of the King he served, whose latest words recommended his wrongs to be buried in oblivion by voting for the law. The article of the Chamber of Deputies was put to the vote, and rejected by the Chamber of Peers. The new Peers voted for its adoption. Some of them, however, refrained from voting ostensibly. In continuation of the Order of the Day the law relating to marriages between brothers and sisters-in-law was put to the vote and adopted. The Sitting was raised. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES—M,IRciI 3. Saturday is the day for presenting petitions--several were presented, but were unimportant. The Order of the Day was the project of law for creating municipal bonds to the amount of forty millions. The law was adopted, after a debate which was totally uninteresting. The first article, by which private carriages are subjected to examination at the Custom-houses at the entrance of Paris, gave rise to some objections, but was adopted. M. de Lameth asked if the carriages of the King and royal family were to be examined ? M. d'Argout replied that the Minister of Finance had the power to forbid such an act, as it would be inconsistent with propriety and the safety of the King's person. The sitting was raised. German Papers, received this day, seem to hint that the arrival of the French in Italy is not more displeasing to the POPE than to the Aus trians, who are concentrating their forces. The news from Egypt is not favourable to the proceed ings of the PACHA LEGHORN, FEB. 20.--The news that the troops embarked at Toulon are not destined, as was believed, to the Morea, but to Ancona, has again filled us with great alarm. According to all accounts it seems nearly as impossible that the Papal Government should continue to exist as it has hitherto been, as that it should attain through itself any essential improx ement. But what shall we expect if Austrian and French bayonets are to order the matter ? Must we not rather fear that the presence of the French will inflame people's minds in a degree that will only make the disorder still greater ? Even Rome might, perhaps, in such a state of things, not escape in ternal storm, and which of the two pacificators shall then take the lead ? In spite of our ardent wishes for the preservation of peace, the new combination appears to us to be ill calculated to siberish such a. hope. Our accounts from Egypt are only to January 26. Nothing was known of St. Jean d'Acre, except that it was not yet taken. The Egyptian army was much discouraged, and had suffered severely by cold and hunger. Ibrahim Pacha built his hopes in a mine which was soon to be sprung. Ships from the fleet in a very damaged state daily returned to Alexandria. Mehmed Ali was every day seen, but an internal uneasiness which he was unable wholly to conceal preyed on his health. The Envoy from Constantinople was treated with great distinction, and even submission, which refutes all the reports that have spread for declaration of independence. The Sultan and Mehmed Ali look on each ether with distrust, and it is improbable that they will ever again be sincerely on friendly terms. Should the ex pedition against Syria prove unfortunate the Pacha will be placed in a most difficult position, and perhaps not be able to conjure the storm without great precautionary sacrifices to the Divan. FRONTIERS OF ITALY, FRB. 22. —. The Austrian army in Italy is observed to be in motion, and the detached corps are concentrating themselves. Important matters seem to be going on, and, considering the aversion of the Papal Govern ment to the announced landing of French auxiliaries (as they are called) in the Roman territory, unexpected and unpleasant events may easily ensue. After the receipt of a courier from Vienna by General Radetzki, he took measures which appear to indicate an eventual preparation for war. Every body is apprehensive of the consequences which the French expedition may bring with it, unless diplomatic negotiations should bring about ass arrangement on the subject.

Mr. Vezey had for some time past laboured under a great depression of spirits, and his conduct had been so extremely different to what it had formerly been, as to leave no doubt of his being under temporary de rangement at the time he committed the fatal act.

When you raise your glass, you look fixedly at the one with whom you are drinking, bow your head, and then drink with the greatest gravity. Certainly many of the customs of the South Sea Islanders, which strike us the most, are less ludicrous. It is esteemed a civility to challenge any body in this way to drink ; and a messenger is often sent from one end of the table to the other, to announce to B— that A— wishes to take wine with him; whereupon each, sometimes with considerable trouble, catches the other's eye, and goes through the ceremony of the prescribed nod with great formality, looking at the moment very like a Chinese Mandarin. If the Company is small, and a man has drunk with every body, but happens to wish for more wine, he roust wait for the dessert, if he does not find in himself courage enough to brave custom.
