We have received the French Papers of Tues day, from which it appears that the disturbances .at Paris have nearly ceased, and that the .dis tricts in which the insurrection of Gen. BERTON tbroke out are restored to tranquillity. The eneraf is .not yet arrested, and is said to be Wid not come so well from the Ambassador for Lisbon. If the _House would not giVe him a Committee, he should perhaps - rr-tke a motion to exclude Members of the Board of Control from seats in that House; and, in case Gentlemen paid no at tention to waggery, he might succeed in removing the Learned :factor. • Mr. ASTELL said, he should vote against the motion. • He considered the Board of Controul properly constituted. \lr BUXTON, in explanation, stated,. that the dispatches to which he alluded were not official, but they came from a quarter on which he could rely. The question being then loudly called for, the House vidcd Ayes - - - - 88 Noes - - - - 273 Majonty against the Motion - -185 'POLICE OP THE METROPOLIS. __ .. - Mr. PEEL, in moving for a Committee on the Police of the Metropolis, abstained from discussing or even giving an :opinion upon the subject. lie.trusted that the House would Lot attribute his forbearance to any thing like insensibility to the importance of the question ; it was the very paramount importance of the subject, indeed, and its intimate connexion 4th the criminal jurisprudence of the country, which induced 'Mtn (adverting to the short time he had been in office) to doubt 'ofliis competency to treat it as it might be expected. Any opinion which he could at present offer to the House must, in the nature of things, be crude and imperfect ; and the expression of so utlequal art opinion was the less necessary, when a Committee was to be appointed for purposes of examination. In 1816, 1817, And 1818, Committees had sat upon the state of our police ;' those Committees had collected much valuable information, - out they had concluded their reports by a recommendation -of further inquiry ; and, in • compliance with that reeom- . Tnendation, and of a promise given by Ministers last Session, he (Mr. Peel) brought forward' his present motion. He had ..endeavoured *to form the proposed Committee of Gentlemen v.-hese attention hid been turned to the subject, and who were likely, from the placeS they represented, to have no peculiar interest in stht. subject ;- and he hoped that the inquiry would be prosecuted with but one.view—the obtaining for the metropolis peifecta system of police as was consistent with the charae tei - of a free country. The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded. by moving, 4 ‘ That .a. Committee sbould be appointed to in -o;.(ire into the State pt . the Police of the Metropolis, and report Its observations.to thi House." - The motion was agreed to; and the following Committee was auointed :—Mr..Secretary Peel, Mr. Solicitor General, M. Byng, Mr. Thomas Wood, Mr. Hartopp, Mr. Grey Bennet, ..11.1r - . George -Dawson, Mr. Powell Buxton,. Lord Viscount Lowther, Mr. 'Lamb, Mr. Yates Peel, Sir James Mackintosh, Mr. Alderman Thompson, Mr. Calthorpie, Mr.' Spring Rice, Mr. Henry Clive, Mr. Alderman Wood, Mr. Holford, Mr. -James Macdonald, Mr. Holme Sumner, Sir Francis Burdett. • The ATTORNEY-GENERAL obtained leave to bring in Rill for extending the laivs against receivers of stolen goods 'to receivers of certain securities for money. • MUTINY BILL'. Mr. W. SMITH, on the third reading of the Bill, expressed his dish that a clause should be introduced putting an end to enlistment for unlimited service. He was averse to that kind of engagement for life, entered into perhaps by a boy who did no; consider what he was doing. It could not be said that the llcuse was not entitled to fetter the conduct of individuals, be cause an act had actually been passed to prevent seamen from selling their pay. Lord PALMERSTON thought that it was sufficient to Lave the recruit to his own discretion. The difference of bounty between limited and unlimited service afforded little temptation : it was only lls. 6d. The Bill was then read a third time and passed. The Marine Mutiny Bill was also read a third time and passed. Upon going into a Committee on the Malt Duty Repeal Bill, Mr. CALVERT begged to ask how the drawback was to be allowed upon malt sold previous to the 16th March, and ship yed by the sellers, for the buyers in London ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that -there was a clause in the Bill which provided for the return of duty to the maker of malt. Mr. CA EVERT was not of opinion that the clause referred -to met the difficulty. He proposed, in a fuller state of the House, to bring forward a suggestion upon the subject. Mr. LUSIIINC4TON intimated that the Bill might go through the Committee, and that Mr. Calvert might make his proposition when the report was brought up. Mr.CALVERT declined acceding to that course, and the Zommittee was deferred until to-morrow. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of; and the lionse adjounied at Twelve o'Clock.

Law on the Press, and are now occupied with the consideration of the Law on the Journals. Several Peers hare inscribed- their names to speak on this law, but the, only one among them who is decidedly. opposed to it is the Baron PASQUIER, one of the late Ministers. In the Chamber of .Deputies, the Reports of the Committee of Petitions, on several Petitions, were read. Among them was one complaining of the manner in which the Police was conducted at Paris : the Committee recom mended the House to pass to the Order of the Day on this Petition ; which motion was adopted without a dissentient voice. Another Petition was not disposed of so quietly, and gave birth to one of those warm debates, in which the right and left sides of the House indulge in mutual charges and recriminations. This Petition was signed by the Skin' SANQUAIRE SOULIONE, at Paris, complaining of his house being visited by the Police in the night, under the pretence of searching for the . Sieurs DUVERGIER and DE LA YERDERIE, who had escaped from the prison. of St.. Pelagie. The Committee were of opinion that the conduct of the Police had not exceeded the limits of the laws, and therefore recommend ed to the House to pass to the Order of the Day. M. GIRARDIN moved, that the Petition 'should be referred to the Minister of the Interior,; but, after considerable discussion, the 'Chamber adopted the proposition of the Committee. On Monday the French Five per Cents. closed at 88 f. 85 c., and Bank Stock at 1588 f. 75 c.— Tuesday, the closing priceof the Five per Cents. was 88 f. 30 c. According to a letter from Aix-la-Chapelle of the 7th inst., news had been received that day from Warsaw of a warlike nature. The Rus sians, under Count de %Irmo ENsTr.tx, have been strongly reinforced, and only wait the arrival of the Emperor ALEXANDER before they march to the Ottoman frontiers. The Turks, on their side, are preparing for the contest. A numerous corps have proceeded from Widdin to Lesser Walachia, another division has crossed the Danube at Si listria for Jassy, and several transports of artil- fiery have been sent to their army on the Pruth. A private letter from Ancona states that Count AUGUSTUS CAPO d'IgTRIA (son of the Russian Minister) had arrived there from Corfu in a ves sel bOonging to his family ; that the communi cations between the Morea, the lonian Islands, and Italy, are becoming daily more and more fre quent; and that the vessel of Count CAPO d'lsTut.k remained only 48 hours at Ancona, and instead of returning to Corfu, as usual, sailed di rect for the - Mama. The motives for these fre quent voyages are still involved in mystery, but it is imagined they are occasioned by the interest felt in a ce4;tain quarter for the cause of- the Greeks. Dutch, and Brussels Papers to Tuesday and Wednesday have also arrived, but their principal contents have been anticipated by the French Journals. The atrocities of the Turks in Mol davia and Walachia. are unabated. In their con duct towards .the Greeks, they are equally re gardless of promises and conventions; and the Monks of one of the principal Monasteries on Mount Athos have been murdered, in violation of a,convention, which granted them an amnesty for the part they had taken in the insurrections of their country. - the reports in these Papers respecting ALI PAGLIA are still contradictory. We find by letters from Batavia, pt November 10, that the Governor-General had resolved on fitting out fast sailing vessels, called proas, each armed with one cannon, four swivels, and six muskets. Thirty-four of these vessels are to be stationed, in fourteen divisions, along the coast of Java, from Batavia to Banjoeuangie. They are to be commanded by Natives, and manned by 22 Javanese, who and to receive regular pay, and each to have side-arms, after the practice of the country, and a lance. To support these vessels, regular ships of war will be properly stationed. The purpose is to check and destroy the vast number of Pirates who infest those seas. The Governor-General has ordered hydrographi cal surveys in the Indian Seas for the improve ment of the charts. THE COLONIES.—It was very generally ru moured on 'Change yesterday, that it,is the inten tion of the Board of Trade to recommend "to Parliament to repeal the several statutes which confine the trade to the British Colonies in the West Indies and America to British Shipping, and to throw the WHOLE OPEN to a free inter course in the Ships of ALL countries.—We do not believe that the present Administration intend to adopt so hazardous and desperate a measure ; for it would prove ruinous to the Colonists,and to the Merchants, Manufacturers, and Traders of the United Kingdom, who are connected with them. Before such an expedient is adopted, it, surely, is not too much to expect from the Ministry that an opportunity will be afforded to the , Colo nists, especially those in British North America, to be heard against such revolutionary innovations on the old policy of the country. The ruinous effect on British Shipping will be soon visible, and we shall, when too late, have to lament the sa crifices of all these vital interests of the country to the speculative views of the political econo mists and theorists of the present day. There is much more danger to be apprehended from these innovations than from" the spirit—now abroad," which induces so many of the WARMEST and STEADIEST FRIENDS of the MONARCHY to be anx ious for the abolition of all unnecessary and "uSeless places. When ,these restrictive statutes are repealed, with what decency can the Government I support any further restrictions in favour of the Agricultural and Grazing Interests of Great Britain and Ireland; and how are both these great features of the Empire to be supported and relieved, but by an adherence to the existing policy of the country,_ and an increase of the duties on the importation of foreign produce ? We are, therefore, not inclined to believe the rumours which we have heard on this subject, especially when we recollect the doctrines maintained by the present Administration while in opposition in 1806. In further compliance with the wishes of several of our Outport Correspondents, we in tend to insert on Monday next the speech of Lord LONDONDERRY against the American In tercourse of. that Session, and which is entitled to serious attention at the present time, Charlestown Papers arrived this morning to the 13th,February, three days later than the last arrival.—The Minister of Spain had arrived at Washington on the 2d inst. The Representatives of all the European powers are now at the siat of Government, with the exception of Denmark, whose representative resides at Philadelphia. There are now represented there France, Russia, Great Britain, Spain and Sweden, besides several Consul Generals. Extract of. a Letter from Valparaiso, Oct. 30. " From all the vessels that Lord COCHRAN E met on the coast of Peru he exacted a considerable portion of the cargoes, making a choice of thek most valuable effects, under pretext of getting the duties on goods to be sold in a country he pretended to have possession.of; thus establish ing a custom-house on the high seas.—The Tea Plant, with 60 vessels, are at ARCO!), whence every 'thing is transferred by land to Lima. — SAN MARTIN has as yet allowed nothing but provisions to be transported to that place. The new crop of wheat will begin to come in in Ja• nuary, and promises abundance. The produce of the country is scarce." We stated on Tuesday last a report which is prevalent in the upper circles, relating to the dismission of a Confidential Agent, in a high quarter, who was significantly recommended to "go to his family." This recommendation, which was at first the occasion of surmise and different opinions, is now supposed to have arisen in consequence of some remarks, more consistent with propriety than prudence, said to Irave been uttered by the females of the family alluded to. The chief of the family, it seems, is to receive the sinecure salary offered to him, but avows, it is added, his expectation of the fulfilment of the promise of a title. We have given a very brief Report of the meet ing which took place yesterday at Hackney,becauEe we may fairly say that it consisted of nothing but topics that have been heard over and over again at such meetings, and in the very same language. It was lamentable to see a dignified Clergyman, the Rev. Dr. DRAPER, take the lead on such an occasion. Surely he mightfind sufficient employ ment in the sacred duties of his calling, rather than thus to incur the anathema of the Poet " Ill befal such meddling Priests." lie even vented his spleen against the elevation of the Marquis of BUCKINGHAM to a Dukedom, though it has no. thing to do with the question. Sir JOHN GIB BON was hissed because he presumed to express sentiments different from those of the meeting ; such was its candour and its justice ! Major CARTWRIGHT, whose Opinion now can only excite pity, proposed that " every male capable of bear ing arms should - vote in the election of Members of Parliament, the vote to be by ballot, and the Par. 'lament annual." These extravagant propositions, however,receiving no satiction,he withdrew his pro position. The Petition agreed to by the Meetingwas a gross insult to the House of Commons. The war it denominated " unnatural, ruinous, and impo litic," though sanctioned by Parliament. There was one stroke of jocularity which could hardly be expected in so grave a document, for it said that " if taxation were a blessing, the Petitioners verily believe that his Majesty's Ministers would immediately increase the happiness of the people by an increase of taxation." But the Petition was poetical also, in figures as well as facts, as the PUBLIC DEBT was styled " the great FINAN CIAL Moloch, at wliose shrine the hard earnings of British industry are periodically offered up." The war was again styled a war against " the liberties of Europe," though it is so glaringly ma nifest that it effected the restoration of those liberties which otherwise would have been wholly sacrificed by a ferocious •and overwhelming military despotism. The want 'of reform was ascribed to " the cor rupt majorities " in the House, which it so respectfully addressed. The late QUEEN was most improperly introduced in a Petition which had no relation to her : Ministers were accused.: of the daring attempt to deprive " the noblest woman in the land (a fine compliment to the Bri tish females) of her life and reputation, by a system of subornation of perjury and premeditated villainy,so shamelessly displayedpn that memorable occasion." It is well that the Petition did not, in the spirit of this accusation against Ministers, carry it still higher! After many other passages equally defamatory against the House of Commons, the Petition concludes most consistently with earn estly praying that the " Honourable House," which it had so grossly reviled, would take into its " immediate consideration the allegations and complaints" against itself, and adopt such mea sures in its " wisdom as may'conduce to the re lief of your Petitioners and the Country." Mr. BYNG declared that" BUONAPARTE might, dur ing the late war, have put in thirty or forty Members for the seats which Were the property of private individuals, and which were always disposed of to the best bidder." Yet from a House of such a character relief is implored fromits wisdom! SirF. By RDETT maintained that the object of the war was to replace the Bourbons. Is he utterly forgetful of the state of the whole of the Continent during the reign of BUONAPARTE, or quite unable to foresee what might have become of (his country if he had accomplished its entire subjugation ? Mr. Honllouse and Mr. PETER Moose claw forward with similar sentiments ; but by this time all 'our Readers are doubtless eager to exclaim, Ohe ! Jam salis. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

John's college, is candidate for the Professorship of Mineralogy. his generally supposed that the University intend to offer's liberal price for the splendid collection of minerals which adorn ed the late Professor's lecture room. THE THEATRE.—It was erroneously stated -in some of the Morning Papers of yesterday that Mr. ELLISTON was to perform Belcour iu The West Indian last night at Drury-lane theatre. That comedy was, indeed, represented there, but Mr. ELLISTON is not yet returned, and the part was assigned to Mr. COOPER, by whom it was supported with judgment and characteristic spirit. Charlotte Rusport, the tender and lively heroine of the piece, found an effective represen tative in Mrs. EDWIN; and Mrs. 11..taLowE's Lady Rusport was not the least prominent in the comedy, which; on the whole, was sustained in a manner creditable to the theatre. ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.—Mr. MATHEWS re sumed his whimsical entertainment last night, and in his stories, humourous songs, and imita tions, was, indeed, quite 'at home. ADELPIII THEATRE.—A Miss MELVILLE ap .peared at this Theatre last _night, who pro mises to be no inferior ornament to the vocal department of the stage. Mrs. BLINN is engaged to perform a few nights at Manchester. In the present dearth of great talents, this actress is well entitled to a station on the London boards. Jaws' HoserrA L.—Yesterday the Anniversary of this Charity, instituted for the maintenance of aged men and women, and the education and employment of children of both sexes of German Jews, was celebrated at the London Tavern.— His Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX in the Chair. There was a large assemblage of the Nobility and persons of the first eminence and respectability.—After his Royal highness had been regaled with a collation, he proceeded to the Synagogue, where service was performed. — The company then proceeded in procession to the Tavern, to dinner. The children educated in the Institution preceded the procession, two and two, bearing the different emblems of manu facture, and various banners, on which were dis played different inscriptions. The aged men and women were comfortably regaled at the Hospital. At five o'clock, between three and four hundfed persons of all sects sat down to a most sumptuous dinner, and the choicest viands that could be obtained for the occasion. After the cloth was removed, grace was chaunted in the Hebrew tongue. The children were then introduced by their masters, with specimens of their trades. — After the usual toasts were given, the health of the Royal Chairman was proposed ; upon which his Royal Highness, in a most eloquent and im- - pressive speech, expatiated on the great advan tages derived from this establishment. He de clared that in the visit which he had made to the Hospital, he had paid particular attention to its different departments, and was highly grafi tied by its administration. His Royal Highness returned thanks, and proposed the health of the Members of the Jews' Hospital.—Several other Gentlemen addressed the assemblage, and the company were entertained in the course of the evening by several songs, which were executed in admirable style by Messrs. Bryant, Buller, Prynn, and various other vocal performers.—The greatest hilarity prevailed, and the company did not depart till a late hour.' The Right Honourable the Earl of ELGIN has again this winter given 176 carts of coals to the poor of the parish of Dunfermline ; and it de serves to be known, that besides this most liberal donation, as well as supporting the poor on his own estates, his Lordship gives a hundred gui neas per annum to the funds of the Voluntary Association, which was established about seven years ago, for the support oT the poor of. the pa rish, and which has hitherto succeeded beyond the expectation of its most sanguine friends.— (Edinburgh Courant.)

' On NiTednesday,' a Court of Directors was held at• the East India House, when the ship Layton, of 493 ton's, was taken up for one voyage to Bencoolen, in the Cornpany's,serviee, On Wednesday, Mr. M t'rE, the King's Mes senger, arrived at the Foreign Office in Downing_ street, with dispatches from St, Petersburgh, which place he left on the 2311 of February. We understand the Messenger NI ould have arlivel two days sooner; but was detained at Calais by the tempestuous weather. A deputation of Russian merchants interested in the Tallow Trade, attended yesterday for the purpose of ascertaining from Government.wh,- ther it was in contemplation to impose an addi tional duty. upon that necessary commodity.— The reply was, we understand, that instead of creating new duties, it was the' intention of Mi nisters to afford every facility to . commerce, by reducing, as far as possible, the duties existinsc. at present. • The subject has created much inte rest in the City for some days past. The Constitutionnel of Monday contains the following paragraph :—‘ 4 On Sunday, at ten, mi nutes past four o'clock, M. FLEuniAts, Commis saire of Police, attached to the Prefecture of Police, presented himself at the Office of the Constitutionnel, and seized- twenty-one numbers - of the Journal pf that day. The motive of the seizure was the publication of a letter entitled— ' Reply of the Students of the Law School .to the Quotidienne of the, 7th lust.'" Canada Papers to the 9th ult. mention, under date of Montreal, that the Attorney General of Upper Canada had been appointed Chief Com missioner, with a salary of WOO/. to proceed to this country with the Address from the Colonial Legislature to be presented to the K ING, respect-. ing the disputes which have arisen between the Upper and Lower Provinces of Canada, relating to matters of finance. It appea'rs that a strong sensa tion had been made throughout the Canadas, by the receipt of news from England, of its being the intention of the Government to consolidate under one government both Provinces. This step is said to be brought under consideration, owing to the long pending . disputes which have so frequently been made a matter of much trouble and perplexity. It was also said that the officers of the Colonial Government were in future to be rendered perfectly independent of the Legislature, excepting as far as regards im peachment. Their salaries were to be paid out of.a part of their duties on imports and exports, and a new arrangement was therefore to be made, to answer such purpose. 17,.........linkmes...11•11enmtwomenerrefeem.
