'TRENCH PAPERS. From the Journal du Commerce of Jan. 4. ) PARIS, JAN. 3.—A great subject of conversation is a diplomatic conference held the day before yes terday at the hotel of the President of the Council, after which numerous couriers were despatched (to Berlin, Vienna, St. Peteraburgh, London and Madrid). The accounts from England announce, in like manner, great activity in the diplomatic world, and it is generally ascribed to the approach of the day fixed for the exchange of the ratification of the treaty of November 15. But modifications of the last Protocol are already spoken of, and the report that France intervenes very earnestly to bring about a final arrangement gains more credit. M. Anatole Bremer and M. Dnault, both 'em ployed in the department for Foreign Affairs, set out yesterday—the first for Londolq, the Fecond for Rome. with despatches from the Government. If we may believe a letter from Modena of the 17th of December, the Austrians had resolved to re-enter Bologna on the 23d. If they had really carried this resolution into effect, we ought now to have received information of it. The exchange of couriers between Paris and London is frequent. One of ttie sons of M. Casimir Perier, who is .erre tary to the French Legation at London, has just arrived at Paris. It is affirmed that on the last journey of M. de Palmella from London to Paris it was finally decided that the expedition to the coasts of Portugal should be deferred till the commence ment of next spring. It seems, however, that Don Pedro will shortly leave France. It is said that he will go to Terceira. (From the Messager des Chambres, slated J in. 5.) NEUFCHATEL, DEC. 25.—The General Council of the city has waited on the Royal Commissioner, to thank him for the measures he has taken for the interest of the country, and to congratulate him on 'his success. It also offered him the freedom of the city, which he accepted. The city is assuming:). a more tranquil appearance. The families which ha d i ' removed are returning to their homes. The barricades, covered with flowers and verdure, look like ornaments rather than means of defence. The fears felt lately are succeeded by a feeling of security : there is not a family which has not reason to thank Providence; for all the men in the city marched out. All were exposed, and all have returned safe and sound. Every body blesses the measures of the Royal Commissioners, being sen sible that they alone could save us from the dreadful crisis which threatened u.. It is hoped that the shock which they have caused will soon subside, and will be followed by that tranquillity of which our manufacturers have so much need. The Council of War appointed yesterday met this morning, to proceed to try Frederick Roesinger, one of the ringleaders of the plot; he was taken with arms in his hands, just as he had been plun dering the manufactory at Boudry. He was found guilty of high treason, and condemned to be shot, unless spared by the clemency of his Majesty. PARIS, JAN. 4.-Letters from Algiers, says the Semaphore, announce that the arrival of the Duke of Rovigo was anxiously expected, as the greatest advantages are looked for from his government. We are of the same opinion. The Duke hat di rected affairs of great importance, and must have acquired thorough knowledge of men and things, His campaigns in Egypt and his residence in Asia Minor, where he was proscribed at the time of the restoration, have made him acquainted with the manners and habits of the Mahometans. He is ac knowledged to be laborious, resolute, and active, and to enjoy good health.

THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE. The following is a copy of a petition which has been addressed to his Majesty, of the inhabitants of this town, and got up by the Political Union:— `` THE DUTIFUL AND LOYAL PETITION OF THE INHABITANTS OF THE TOWN AND COUNTY OF THE TOWN OF NOTTINGHAM, TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. " May it please your Mijesty,—We, your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects of the town and and county of the town of Nottingham, beg most dutifully to ap proach your Majesty's most sacred person, end to liy at the foot of the throne this our sincere and most humble petition, trusting that as Englishmen, claiming the full and fair participation of the rights and privileges guaran teed to us by the spirit and letter of the Constitution that your Majesty will not turn a deaf ear to our petition or our complaints. That having viewed with sentiments of the deepest gratitude the patriotic intentions and wishes of your Majesty in sanctioning those principles and salutary changes in the representation of the country—changes which the long lapse of time have rendered necessary to the safety and well-being of the State ; th it our common country—nay the throne itself--may be rescued from the power of an oligarchy alike dingermis to the hereditary and kingly privileges of your Majesty, as they may be to the rights and privileges of your Majesty's subjects. We, your Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, in common with the whole country, deeply and poignantly regret the awkward situation in which it has been placed by the throwing out the Reform Bill by the Lords spiri tual and temporal, almost without a hearing or permitting the case a fair and impartial investigation, either of it, merits or demerits, which we, your Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, cannot but regard as an insult offered to the throne and the constitutional privileges of the people of England, by an oligarchy, who would alike even trample on the sacred and guaranteed right of you r Majesty, as they would on the liberties of your Majesty's subjects. Em boldened by long domination over the people,—enriched and made powerful by pietist and unjust legislation, —par ticipating largely of the taxes and imposts which they have so cruelly levied on the people, whom they contemn and consider as the mere shreds of nature, only to toil and starve for the convenience of the oligarchy, whose oppo sition to your Majesty's benign and patriotic wishes has clearly evinced a reckless endeavour to perpetuate evil and oppression of that people, whose energies and industry have long been the pillar and prop of the State. Actuated by no principles hut those of the general welfare and tran quillity of our devoted country, we your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjeets, conceive that, from the oppo sition so strongly manifested to your Majesty's benign views to strengthen and invigorate our drooping institu tions, by men holaing distinguished and high offices of trust in the several departments of the State, we de voutly pray that your Majesty would be pleased to take into your Royal consideration the necessity of forthwith displacing all those men from office, emolu ment, and trust of your Royal confidence, who have so unjustly opposed themselves to any improvement in the political economy of the country. That from the well known patriotism and energy lately displayed by the nobi lity and gentry of various counties in favour of the Reform Bill, we dutifully pray that your Majesty will be pleased to make selection from among those who have claims to bonourable distinctions, and to office ; and as relates to the county of Nottingham, we trust that there are noble men of distinguished virtue, and well attached to the sup port of a cause of Reform, to fill the office of Lord Lieute nant of the county of Noqingham. We dutifully, yet respectfully, pray, that your Majesty will be pleased to repose your trust in some other nobleman than the present Lord Lieutenant of the county, who has ventured an apposition to measures calculated to do honour to the sym pathies and feelings of your Majesty, and to save the country from anarchy and confusion, be throwing obstael,s in the way of a Ministry actuated by principles the most just and honourable to themselves and the country. We therefore devoutly pray the dismissal from office of the present Lord Lieutenant of the county of Nottingham, his Grace the Duke of Newcastle, as a means calculated to allay party feelings wholly arising from his Grace's un hallowed opposition to the Reform of the representation, and as in duty bound, we, &c., shall ever pray," This a ddress was signed in one day by 506 of the inhabitants of this town, and forwarded to Mr. Hume for presentation on the 26th of December. On the 29th that Hon. Member acknowledged the receipt of it in the following letter : " Bryanstone-square, Dec. 29, 1831. " have received your letter of the 26th, and the Petition to the King praying him to dismiss from office all public officers who have opposed the Reform Bill. I shall forward the petition to Lord Melbourne, the Secretary of State, the proper channel, and state that I concur in its prayer. The Ministers, I believe, mean melt; but they have not acted with that vigour and energy which Reformers expected, or the Bill would ere this have been law. " Itis monstrous to see the Lords Lieutenants, collectors of taxes, distributors of stamps, and hundreds of civil officers, taking an active part against the measures of the King and his Ministers, and using the power they derive from the King against the measures of the King's Minis !err., though supported by the nation. But that cannot long go on. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, - " JOSEPH HUNIE. " Mr. John Clayton, Nottingham." FROM THE GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT.

COX'S ADVENTURIet ON THE COLUMBIA RIVER.—" No more enOrtaining traveller," says the Westminster Review, Ihas appealed for many years; for very few have been /Wandering among the lands or people that differ more om our daily experience, few have engaged more frequeno or more readily in adventure, and not many have 41 ailigher relish for the characteristic, or a pleasanter naolialof developing its traits. The work has been a great treat; anti the traveller by the fire-side, during the evenings of winter, may not hope more surely to forget either cholera cr revolution, than in wandering over the pleasant pages of our friend of the beaver-skin." A second edition is announced for immediate publication. LITERATURE. BYRON'S WORKS, VOL. L—LoNnoN,lB32. The splendid and complete edition of the works, both in prose and verse, of the greates, of our modern poets, which Mr. Murray has been so long announcing, and for which he has paid such enormous sums, has at length made its appearance, and, we may say with perfect sin cerity, justifies the expectations which have been raised in the public mind concerning it. The work is richly bound in handsome green cloth, is. backed with gold letters, printed on excellent paper, in a distinct, hand some type, and altogether [resents a most elegant and finished appearance. Two embel lishments are attached to it, one of Lord By ron, taken when he was only nineteen years of age, and one of Cadiz, by Stanfield. Both these embellishments, gems in their way, par ticularly the sea-view of Cadiz, are engraved by Finden, an artist who takes high rank among engravers. The object which Mr. Murray pro fesses to have in undertaking this costly edition, is the destruction of the cheap, imperfect, surreptitious editions which are perpetually issuing from the French Press, to the great injury of those booksellers who sell the genuine editions. As this object is a laudable one, we hope, but indeed we have little doubt, that it may answer ; for who would throw away his money on a French edition of Byron, which is full of blunders, both literal and biographical, when here he may have, at a com paratively insignificant price, the entire, unmuti lated works of the great poet, with copious me moirs from the pen of his friend and biographer, the author of " Lalla Rookh ?" We should not omit to add that each volume will be ac companied with five illustrations (price 2s. 6d.) by Finden. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DONCASTER MEETING, 1532. MONDAY.

We have been informed that orders for up wards of 18,000 tons of iron rails are now executing by the iron-masters in Monmouthshire, to be exported to America, where rail-roads are making rapid progress in public estimation.—Hereford Journal. Our City Correspondent's article informs us on the authority of letters from Paris, of a curious dis covery made in that capital through the late tumults in Luxemburg, which is, that the Belgian losn has beets of fered to, and accepted by, the French subscribers, at 2 per cent. higher than the portions of the acme loan have been disposed of to the monied gentry in England. Our only inference from this is, that the grand contractor knew the state of both markets. If the French had had better em ployment for their money than we have had on objects of trade, commerce, and manufacture, (which, badly as we " are off" in those respects, we do not believe), he would have been obliged to draw them to his market by offering t h e m portions of his loan on the lowest terms, 75 per cent. But if we had the most means of employing our capital on other objects, we of course were the people to be seduced by the advantageous proposal. So that, in fact, the quar rel of the French capi t ali st is not with Raritscitun, but with the English capitalist, for being in a situation to stipulate more advantageously for himself with the con tractor before he sent his money out on a venture. The transaction, therefore, may be assumed as the barometrical state of the two markets in the two countries in respect to trade and commerce. Ours, in the judgment of the Itartiscemps, is 2 per cent. better than that of the French. As to our correspondent's remark, that " th e i nc id ent m i g ht be of use in showing the subscribers t o f ore i gn l oans gener ally with how little regard to their int eres t s suc h mat ters are conducted," this is all very good in him; but we beg leave to ask, who ever thought that the transactions of th u t hese people (contractors and loan-jabbrrs) were con d uc t e d is s , sc however,o capablere. ‘ feoy b e actingr just eall : y with any other view, or upon any oth er p r i nc i p l e t h an t h at believe(w) f e their a c qut teythem own wouldprivate of blush lu sh advantage?hyptoocr b ihypocrisy on thought Let from any other motive.—. Times. THE kISTOL RIOTS. SPECIAL COMMISSION. BRISTOL, FRIDAY. Their Lordships entered the Court about nine o'clock, and shortly afterwards the following prisoners were placed a t the bar:— William Reynolds, Richard Vines, Thomas Gl-a -- gory, Joseph Snook, Cornelius Hickey, John Kaps Edward Arbour, Michael Sullivan, Henry Green, George Andrews, Charles Williams, Timothy Collins, P. Barnet, Benjamin Broad, and Stephen Gainsford. BURNING IN QUEEN-SQUARE. On their names being called over, the clerk proceeded to read the several indictments, upon which the prisoners were charged with demolishing and destroying several houses in Queen•square, and to which they severally pleaded Not Guilty. All the prisoners were then removed from the bar ex cept Thomas Gregory, Joseph Snook, and Cornelius Hickey, who were arraigned upon a charge of having, with others, on the morning of Monday, the 31st October List, feloniously assembled in Queen-square, and of havincr attacked and destroyed the house of William Strong, in Queen•square, Bristol. The indictments having been read, the Attorney-General rose and said, Gentlemen of the Jury,—We find that on Saturday the 29th of October, when the Learned Recorder of this city was making his entry, that a tumultuous mob assembled, that on his proceeding from the Guildhall he was attacked with violence, and again at the Mansion house his life was threatened in the most outrageous man ner. The Learned Gentleman continued to describe the atrocity of the proceeding, and after stating the facts of the case the following witnesses were called : William Charles Stephen examined—l am searching, landing, and coast waiter. Know Queen-square; the house at north-east corner is the Mansion-house; in the middle of the square, at the side of the avenue, is the Custom-house, in the east corner of King-street running to the square. Mr. Strong occupied the house on the op posite side of the avenue. Houses were burnt in the square on the night of Sunday the 30th of October. Mr. Strong's house was burnt on Monday morning, the 31st of October, about two o'clock. The mob continued in Queen-square from Saturday until seven o'clock on Monday morning. The conduct of the snob was very violent. On Saturday evening the iron railing opposite the Mansion-house was torn down. The military were in the square. On Satur day night and Sunday morning the front of the M 'ration house was boarded up, and it was attacked by the mob about seven or eight o'clock on Sunday morning. I first saw fires on Sunday night. The Mansion-house was fired first. Great rioting was in the square. Houses were on fire between the Mansion-house and Custom-house. The whole line of houses was burned about two o'clock on Monday morning. Strong's house was on fire, and about 500 or 600 persons were opposite the house. Mr. Strong came to my house on that night about eleven o'clock. The house was on fire in about ten minutes after. I saw persons enter it. I could not see whether property was first t.ken out. All the houses from the avenue to the west end of the square were destroyed, and all the houses on the west side were burned down during the night of Sunday except two. The soldiers were in the square on Monday morning. The mob were dispersed on Monday by the citizens, with the aid of the military. The houses continued burning until the dispersion of the mob. John Hallett examined—l am a shoemaker, and re member Sunday, the 30th of October. Was in Queen square that night, and left about two o'clock on Monday morning. I know the Custom-house, was at one corner of the avenue, and Mr. Strong's at the other. I saw the house before it was on fire. I know the prisoners Gregory and Snook at the bar, and saw them there that night at the door of Strong's house. Gregory had nothing in his hand, but Snook had a poker ; the door was shut. Snook opened it with a poker, and both went in. Gregory went up stairs and opened a window, and threw book•, boxes, and other things into the street. I did not see Snook up stairs. Gregory came down stairs, and he and Snook came out together. Gls gory had two candlesticks in his hand and something in his bosom. He went across to the Custom-house, where a man had a table, and he stopped him and asked him where he was going, and if he had a Reform table. The man said yes. Snook joined him. Other people were round, and paper was rolled up like a torch and set on fire, but cannot tell by whom. Snook, Gregory, and others carried it to Mr. Strong's house. The prisoner and others went into the home. The house was soon on fire. The two men came out of the house, and went to the next one, Mr. Morgan's, n hick is in the avenue ; a wine and spirit-house. Snook knocked off two padlocks with the poker, and said, that's the way to do business. An iron bar was across the door, and in breaking off the second lock he broke the poker along with the lock and forced the door open, and Snook went in. I have known Gregory and Snook for some time, and am very certain that they are the persons I saw. Gregory said, that he got wit ness to prove he was innocent. William Mill, examined—_l remember the night of Sunday, 30th Oct., and am a porter to Bartlett and Mogg's spirit vaults, in the avenue of Queen-square. 1 recollect the Custom-house on fire, and saw Hickey there, this was about two o'clock on Monday morning. Saw Hickey and others drop from the window of the Custom house. Hickey then went to Strong's house and broke with a stick all the panes of glass, and proceeded to the front of the house, and in half an hour the next house, Broad's was on fire. Heard glass breaking after Hickey went to the front of the house. I did not see him again until seven o'clock next morning. He spoke to me as he passed, and said, "it is dreadful work here." I said "it is Con," and shook my head at him. Broad's house was on fire before Strong's. Broad's house was in the square. Three houses, Broad's, Strong's and Mogg's were on fire. Cross-examined by the prisoner Hickey —I did speak to you on Monday morning, no one was with you then. There were constables in the square. I would not have you taken up, and advised you to be off. By the JUDGE—I know his younger brother, he W 33 not with the prisoner. In answer to a question by Hickey—Witness said, that be, Hickey, had the stick in both hands. MichaelMogg examined—l am a partner with Mr. Mogg; our premises arc in the avenue of Queen-square. I was there on the Sunday night that the Custom -house was on fire. Saw many people there. I saw Hickey there, and I believe Snook was there. I did not know Hickey before ; he was coming from the Custom-hous e with others in the di rection of the windows. Hickey had a stick in his hand, and went to the windows of Mr. Strong's hou se , an d b egan to demolish the glass with his stick. I was about four or five yards distant. He broke the glass and frames of the windows. He afterwards went to the front of the house in the square. I then heard noise of breaking the win dows. Broad's house was shortly after on fire. I then went into the square before Strong's house was on fire. It may y Strong's b e ten minutes w a sfired. r e after d. sawßroad's Hickey house n ewasxt on on Tuesday ( b i a e , - f. morning in King-street. From seeing his n ame i n t h e Paper I had him arrested on the following w ee k. Cross-examined by the prisoner —I k new y ou b y t h e light, and seeing all the time. I might have seen the stick with others had I been nearer you. I saw you first at the avenue and then at the waterside. I did not apprehend you because others were afraid to give evid ence , l es t t h ey should be marked men. William Mills recalled—l saw Snook as well as Hickey on the Sunday night. I saw him and two others come to Bartlett and Mogg's stables, where they keep bottles. One of the men, with a bar or stave, knocked both of the locks off—a padlock and a stock-lock. They then entered, and I told them to come out, there was no thing but empty casks there. I believe that Snook took out a hammer. They came to the front door, and Snook with a hammer began to knock the locks off. One of the others took the hammer from Snook's hand, broke a paunch in the door and looked through. I then went forward and took the hammer, and swore I would kill the first man that should enter, and Snook challenged me to fight, but I refused, and they went off towards the square. Cross-examined by prisoner Snook --I saw you with a hammer in your hand. Saw you and others, I cannot exactly swear which of you, passing the hammer to one another, and breaking the locks off. The evidence being closed, the CHIEF JurricE summed up the evidence to the Jory, who immediately retired. BURNING OF THF REV. MR. BUCK'S HOUSE. A new Jury having been sworn, William Reynolds and Richard Vines were indicted for having with others, on Sunday, the 30th of October last, set fire to, and de stroyed the house of the Rev. Mr. Buck, in Queen-square. The trial was going forward when our reporter left the Court. (The Jury in the former case delivered a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners.) FIFTEEN MINUTES TO EIGHT. The Ju r y h av i ng j ust retur ned into Court, and the prisoners having been placed at the bar, a verdict of Guilty was delivered against both prisoners—Reynolds and Vines. CLAY.—The Norfolk declaration in favour of moderate Reform has been hawked about here, though with hut little success, there being but one signature of a resident here, and he is a journeyman only, and not a housekeeper...-Norfolk East Anglian, .. THE CHOLERA AT NEWCASTLE AI4 GATESHEAD. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) NEWCASTLE.UPON-TYNE, JAN. S The account I have to give of the choleraat castle to-day is more favourable. There are 011 ten new cases, five deaths, and five recoveries. Th i , is still, however, the same number of cases reroi,' ing under treatment, namely, 120, a considers . portion of which are in the neighbouring villages.• is very pogsihle, however, that we may have t morrow or next day, a considerable increase its t new en:es, as I find that the returns from the toll ship of Byker are sometime not made for tws three days together: when they do come of cod they make a considerable addition. There are incongruities connected with the el, lera which it i s diffi cu l t to un d erstan d or expl.f One moment it appears to be obviously spreads and the next . you arc surprised to observe it roo t stationary. I have already stated that the disease has mad' appearance in Lemingtots, Bell's Close, Newt,* Ryton, Sec., villages on the riser side above Nt. castle, westward,` in the direction of Hexham has made its appearance in still greater extent t fury in Ihe villages of Sr. Peter's, Dent's 0 Walker, &c., on the river side below Neweastler wards Shield 4. It obviously follows the courSe the river. We are surprised it has not yet read Hexham, since it has extended to within a few td of it. A case occurred at Haltwhistle, a small td. 35 Miles from Newcastle, and 15 west of fiexht. The person was a young man of the name Brown, a joiner or builder, who went from 1%1 1 , castle, and was seized with the complaint almosti. rnediately on his arrival at Haltwhistle. It scarcely fair, then fore, to call this a Haltwl o case, for in all probability Brown had receive& infection at Gateshead or Newcastle. He 1 hibited the most striking characteristic sympto l and died in a few hours. No other li r appears since to have occurred there. The cases at 9 hill, I am informed, are at present five or six in notek and all mild. They are under the care of Mr. Wing a highly respectable surgeon of this town, who has ari' sistant le•iditig on the spot. The mildness of the cad attributed t o th e i r h av i ng b een t rea t e d w h en t h e f i rst f i monitory symptoms appeared, and on this account it is r, Inside they will all recover. Seghill, small place as!l e ‘fEwds the same kind of proof of contagion W$ has occurred in several instances in Sunder/i Gateshead, and Newcastle. I mean in the different 0 1 hers of the same family taking the disease apparently each other. This was particularly illustrated in the mily of Mr. Southern, the viewer, at Seghill colliery. Yet though the cholera has spread greatly at S eg hilh. has not at all ex t en d e d to C ra i n li ngton, Varselon, and ot populous villages close to it ! There has been we hear one case at Morpeth, yet Stannington, a large and populous village four miles this side of it, the disease has net made its appearad though there are several people employed in a manufaci. there who have relatives living in Sandgate, in this tel where the complaint raged so severely, whom they b i been in the continual habit of visiting! At Gateshead there is little difference in the ehol o the new cases are less but the deaths are now more I ) they were yesterday. The Board of Health says there', to-day 15 new cases , 19 recover i es, and 9 deaths. lof t' of 98 th ere are now 85 remaining. They don ' t te ll ' how many of these belon g to the neighbouring village.' Mr. O'CONNELL, at themeetiug of the 11 1 . National Union, opposed the introduction of poor-ft, into Ireland. There are abuses, no doubt, in the .1t nistration of the English poor laws ; but what compact is there between the state of things in England, evey the districts w h ere t h e a b use h as b een the greatest, an d • ststr of thing s i n I re l an d, w h ere t h e great body of , p e opl e a r e constantly in a state of destitutio n bordering' famine? Without poor law s , th e compet i t i on o f ' . tenantry will never allow them to make savings; and, : that is r sised beyond the potato diet of the wretched Cri vator will go to the landl or d. W e are rea d y to tld o that the tirat effect of poor-rates would be to cause c iao! in property. The great proprietors, who now live abrd and leave their estates to the management of a ge nts 7 have no interest in them beyond that of the motlo would find it necessary to provid e employment in 0 ° way for the population created by them. A more lib , cultivation, in order to find employment for the pop° tion, would, in the end, improve the value of the prope l In the first instance, however, it would inevitably 1 0 sales, because, in order that an estate may be a dvs", geously retain e d, means f or t h e employment of labour 111' be possessed. The division of estates alone would b t great go o d w ith re f erence to the improvement o f i country. One thing is clear—that if the poor are clod on the land, it will be necessary for the landlords ° I , wish t i have rents to bestir themselves. If the in lo tants may count upon a home in their respective parisi l the landlord s w ill fi n d t h e i r we lf are b oun d up w i t h t of the peasantry. At present the latter are the NCO goats for all. Excluded from hope, they are the shit ° of every calamity—destitution is constantly present them.—Morning Chronicle. So France is to be attacked by It ussi! Austria, and Prussia in the North—and by Spain 0 1 : South, if she does not assent to the re-establishment of' " kingdom of the Pays Bas !"
