We have a prisoner here, a most impudent feilow.—The Gentleman Who was wounded on the coach lately, Idm happy to say, is 'doing well.—Unless troops are sent out to . our assistance, they will, I am sure, murder every one of us ; I have not closed my eyes these two nights, nor any of my family. If the Almighty Spares me, I am determined to leave this place. All the Gen tlemen in the country have come into town. The chief enmity of, the White Boys is against Drisbane Castle ; the owner of Which, Mr. Wallace, is extremely active against them." We received this morning the French Papers of Tuesday, which contain nothing of any im portance but the continued debates in the Cham ber of Deputies, on the proposed Law for the regulation of the French Press. The 4th Article Was discussed on Monday. It " subjects to im prisonment from one month to four years, and to a fine from 150 to 5000 fr. all per sons convicted of exciting hatred or contempt of the KING'S Government," and was approved by the Committee to whom the law project was referred, with the following addition : " That the present regulation is not to preju dice the right of discussion, and of censuring the acts of the Ministers." Three amendments Were proposed by MM. DARIEU, DUVERGIER HAURANNE, and CASIMIR PERRIER. The first suggested the substitution of the words " the Representative Government as constituted by the Charter" instead of the words " the KING'S GO ven1111eTII;" the second proposed to alter the amend ment of the Committee in the following manner : " th e present regulation is not to prejudice the right of discussion or of censuring the acts of the constituted body of Ministers, and other public agents; the third proposed to alter the same a mendment thus • " the present regulation is'not 10 prejudice the right of discussion, and of censuring the acts of Ministers, nor those of the Royal Authority anterior to the Chrirter." This amendment, suggested by M. CASIMIR PERRIER, Was received by almost universal marks of astonishment. After a long and animated debate, these three amendments were rejected, and the article was then put and carried by a large Ma jority, with the original amendment proposed by the Committee. It appears by a letter from the Prefect of the Ilepartment of Finisterre, dated the 18th ult., that the emissaries of the same party who ins gated the insurrectional movements at Saumur and l efort, had intended to repair to Brest for a purpose ; but the public authorities bay inP,' received information of their designs, adopted such measures as completely defeated their at tempts. Jan. 23, Five per Cents. Bank Stock 1535 f. The accounts from Spain are very satisfactory and hold out the prospect of a speedy adjustment the unhappy differences which distract tha; country. The sentiment which, by a malicious perver sion of his words, has been imputed to a Noble 46 that County Meetings are farces," ould hi some measure be justified if the prece dont furnished by the Suffolk Freeholders last Tuesday were generally adopted on similar oc casions. If any proceeding of a popular assembly e au be called a farce, that name may surely be 4 PPlied to the manoeuvre by which two Meetings of the County of Suffolk were held in the same hour, in the same place, and by the same parties. ' the Freeholders are summoned to consider the Propriety of petitioning Parliament on the pre sent Agricultural Distresses : Resolutions appli cable to this subject are moved and carried, and ab out to be signed, when a fiery spirit (Mr. Gnior.y) starts up, and insists on presenting an a dditional article in favour of Parliamentary Refo rm . Discord and confusion prevail, and at l ength the Sheriff (who appears to have been greatly wanting in presence of mind) abruptly dissolves the Meeting. In the midst of much clamour, and many sagacious observations from cc Persons in the crowd," 4 ‘ gentlemen on wag ()lls," and " gentlemen in the back-ground," (we quote from the Morning Chronicle) it is discovered that no petition has been voted. The S heriff offers to propose one ; ,Lord DUNII ICH moves an adjournment to prepare it : Mr.GnIGLY mo ves that the Meeting be dissolved (which it had b een already); the Sheriff, however, puts the Petition ; it is negatived, and a vote of cen sure proposed against himself ; upon which he dissolves the Meeting anew. Notice is now given that a requisition will be presented for the call of a second (it should have been a third) keeting, instanter; and after a reference to the Act of Parliament by the clear-headed leaders °f this intricate debate, the (miscalled) Second Meeting of the County of Suffolk is convened, 4t Which the Resolutions already passed by the first are passed once more, with Mr. GIUGLy7s addendum. A Petition is then voted, and the I s e se mbly is di sso l ve d i n good earnest. We be ve at least that it remained dissolved when the accounts came away.--Far from us be the irre verence of calling:these transactions a farce ; but we may venture to observe . that the term has Often bee❑ applied to proceedings more consistent and more - soberly carried' on. There are, how- ever, considerations by no means ludicrous aris ing out of these occurrences. We conceive the High Sheriff to have set a very dangerous example by accepting a requisition tendered to him in the midst of a popular assembly already convened.— The matter contained :n this paper may indeed have appeared to him unexceptionable and of a tendency not to be mistaken.: but occasions may arise when requisitions shall be presented in the same manner, so ambiguous in their wording, or relating to subjects of such nicety and alarming importance, that it may be extremely difficult for the presiding officer to determine upon the spot whether they ought to be received or re jected. During the unhappy ferment excited in favour of the late QUEEN, it often became a ques tion hard to be decided, even on mature delibera tion, by Sheriff's and Officers possessing similar powers, whether or not they should sanction public Meetings. Yet a proposal equally perplexing, might, according to the practice adopted in this instance, be pressed upon a Sheriff, or the Mayor of a country town, in the heat and tumult of a public assembly, and without any previous notice. lie might, it is true, refuse, if he doubted the propriety. of consenting ; but is the exercise.of such a discretion very easy for a timid or slow witted maii, and a novice in the arts-of debate (as such an officer may very well he) when sur rounded by insidious or overbearing persons, and called upon to refuse or comply in the presence of a clamorous multitude ?—To place the sub ject in another point of view. When a portion of the people is invited to discuss matters of state, it is fair both to the public in general, and to those who may attend at the place of resort, that distinct notice should be had of the true purpose and tendency of the proposed Meeting. An assembly may be convened to authorise a peti tion for the repeal of a tax ;' this business may be then thrown aside, and a " second meeting" held according to the form we have described, at which resolutions may he moved in favour of universal suffrage, abolishing the funds, or adopt ing the Spencean system. fs not this a gross deception on society and its protectors, and a manifest defeating of . one principal purpose for which public requisitions are intended ? And is it just that • homely and simple men should be led to form themselves into a popular assembly, and, when their curiosity is excited and their passions awakened, should be exposed to the stimulus of a new and perhaps inflammatory dis cussion, which to most of them was wholly unex pected ? It will be. observed, also, that if a second Meeting may be called upon the spot, when a first has been dissolved, a third, a fourth,a twentieth may he held upon the same principles; a new meeting will commence upon the proposition of each new subject, and thus a body of the people nominally summoned to consider some one plain point, will become a democratic council, empower ed to review the whole range of national affairs, or to institute deliberations upon any other subject which may appear to them worth the momentary trouble of resolving themselves into a f res h meeting.—The resolutions of the Freeholders, independently of that on which the dispute arose, are warm, not to say violent, in their character; but we have not reserved room for.any examina tion of these, considering the transactions already noticed to be more worthy of animadversion, and at any rate a much greater novelty. We hardly need draw the attention of our [Leaders to the admirable letters with which our valuable Correspondent INpEx has favoured this Paper. That he has refuted the doctrines which he opposes is evident ; but he has done so with such candour, and has blended strength of reasoning with so much humour, wit, and knowledge, that we hope he will publish his communications in a collected form, and not suffer them to pass away in the transitory columns of a Daily Paper. The subject is of the utmost importance to society, and its illustrations ought to be fixed upon a permanent basis. As we have inserted in our fourth page a re- port of the Proceedings in the Court of COMMON COUNCIL yesterday,- upon a subject which has long since been illustrated to the full satisfaction of all wise and honest men, and as the debate and its result were obviously influenced by the spirit of. Party, we shall make no comments on the occasion, but refer the whole to the good sense of our Readers. [From the late Charleston Papers.] MISSISSIPPI.—The Governor of this State, in his Message , seems to coincid e w ith th e Chi e f Magistrate of Virginia in his exposition of the Constitution :—" If," says he, " the Constituted Authorities of the United States transcend the powers delegated in the Constitution, and usurp the rights reserved to the several States, the re pulsive frowns of an injured people will speedily repel the encroachment, and by a watchful jea lousy over every department, restrain them within their legitimate orbits ; an energetic exer cise of powers, clearly and distinctly granted to the General Government, will be respected and obeyed, while every attempt at usurpation will create distrust, and only weaken the arm which aims to prostrate the barriers erected by the founders of the Constitution." Extract of a Letterfrom Harannah, Dec. 10. 44 There is a great irritation here against the Americans, particularly among the higher classes, on account of the treatment of Colonel CALA VA by General JAcKsoN 7 and among the lower cFasses on account of the capturing of the pirates." B:urisix thousand pOtinds have been recently diStribtited by the BritiSh Go vernment on the Canadian frontier, in part pay-; ment for losses sustained ditritig the late War.— ( Buffalo Journal.) • COURT OF KING'S BEN(111--::-(Thi S y;)—At the sitting of the Court kidgment was prayed upon William Le►cis, who had pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with Violently ob structing the Officers of .his Majesty's revenue cutter the Greyhound, stationed off the port of Weymouthi,and rescuing a boat, and cutting one of the offices with a knife, and attempting •Vio lence on another with a hatchet. By the prison .ers affidavit it appeared he had long served his Majesty ; there were also some other favourable circumstances 'which induced the Court to sen tence him to only two months imprisonment in Dorchester Gaol, and give sureties for three years. Letters from. Barcelona of the 12th instant state that the weather had become very cold, and that the fever had almost instantly ceased. No deaths had since occurred, and very few sick re mained. A private letter from Aix-la-Chapelle, of the 23d of this month, contradicts the reports of peace which. have been again circulated at Vienna and London. The Russians in their march towards the Pruth have had to contend against many. obstacles, on account of the bad ness of the roads. The report that the Turks were preparing to evacuate Moldavia, is void of all foundation; on the contrary, they are forming large magazines at Jassy, and are fortifying their positions on th e b an k s o f Th e Pruth. The Ott oman army on the eastern , bank of the Danube has lately received .a park of 100 pieces of heavy artillery. The arrival of a new Pacha in Bosnia had been the signal of fresh troubles ; and such of the inhabitants as do not profess the Ma hometan religiob have been exposed to every vexation. A letter from Vienna states, that Prince Ali Abbas Mira, of Persia, has been really poisoned, and that iLwas after his death that the Persian Army retreated. In consequence of this event, a convention was concluded between the Porte and Persia, under the mediation of England.— It appears, however, by a letter from Nurem berg, that the Persians have not yet evacuated that portion of the Ottomait territory which they had invaded. A letter from Constantinople, of the 30th of December, says, that the Pacha of Janina still holds out ; and that a part of the Janissaries have obstinately refused to march to the Morea. The -expedition of the Greeks against the town of Larissa, in Thessaly, is said to have failed. A letter from Lisbon, dated Jan. 12, says— " Pereira de Carino lately made a motion, which is supported by all the Americans in the Cortes • its object is to declare the port of Lisbon free for Brazil productions, and to repeal all the Custom house regulations which embarrass the trade be tween Portugal and Portuguese America. Por tugal would thus become the general entrepot for our colonies." The KING, it is expected, will come to town this day, and on Sunday go to the Royal Chapel, St. James's. On Monday his MAJESTY will in spect the alterations making at St. James's Pa lace, and give his further directions.—(ltilorning Paper.)

Wednesday and yesterday, Cabinet Councils were held, at the 'Foreign-office in Downing street", which were attended by all the Cabinet Ministers, except that yest er d a y th e D u k e o f WELLINGTON was not present. The Cabinet Council on Wednesday assembled at half-past two o'clock, and broke up about four. The Ca binet Council of yesterday was unexpectedly summoned. The Marquess of LONDONDERRY having left town after the separating o f th e Ca binet Ministers on Wednesday, the Noble Mar quess sent orders at a very early hour yesterday morning, to 'summon the Cabinet Council, from his seat at North Cray, in Kent. The Cabinet assembled in the Foreign-office at half-past two o'clock, and continued in deliberation about an hour.-- Yesterday morning most of the Cabinet Ministers and several other official gentlemen as sembled at the Earl of LIVERPOOL'S house in Whitehall.

Mrs. BUNN was so much admired in the part of Queen Elizabeth, that the proprietors have renewed her engage ment on very liberal terms. On Saturday evening, as some boys were play ing themselves, they discovered something like a bundle lying in the passage of a house in Muir Wynd of Hamilton, which they conveyed to the house of Mr. Rae, tailor ; it was found•to be a fine healthy female child, about six weeks old, tolerably well dressed, and wrapped up in a shawl. On be►ng brought to the ,fireside, the infant smiled on the crowd of spectators which curiosity had led to the spot. No trace ca❑ be discovered of the unnatural mother, or who had been accessory to the exposure of this helpless' babe.

MONTHLY REPORT FO R JAN U ARY. - The Wheats, where they have not been flooded, are generally found to look well ; but drawn up ward as they have been, by a constant series of warm and moist weather, without the slightest check from frost, the apprehension is far from being groundless, that they may be exhausted by excessive vegetation, and ultimately be more productive i❑ straw than corn. It was sup posed last month, from the wet and poachy• state of a great part of the lands, that much of the wheat sowing must be postponed till after Christmas ; but from subsequent accounts, in spite of all difficulties, it seems that a finish has been generally made. Talavera (Spanish) wheat is getting out of repute ; perhaps corn from a warm climate should never be sown in this country in the autumn, until it shall have.become naturalized. During several weeks past, the causes of rain and fog, of the former particu larly, appear to have been evidently exhausted ; yet a state of moisture in the atmosphere has con stantly prevailed, and the lands have remained in a very wet and poachy state. There is at present great hopes of a favourable change. Fine, heavy, dry wheat, short in quantity, and much in request, is worth 755. per quarter; but in general, all kinds of produce are necessarily at a declining price. Perhaps long wool is an exception, being rather ready of sale. Manufactures are in a far more prosperous state than agriculture, and are gradually relieving the land from a part of its su perfluous labourers, There are at this time only five of the thea trical cotemporaries of Mr. Gallium living, viz. Mr. WROUGISTON, Mrs. HARTLEY, Mrs. MAT- Tocris, Mr. WEWITZER, and Mr. QUICK ; the youngest of whom has passed the 75th year of his age. A shoe-maker Who established himself in a certain town, wishing to display his literal'y knowledge, and at the same time to assert his honesty and uprightness, placed on his sign for a motto, ." mens sibi conscia recti." And from whatever cause it might arise, he drew aiiay all the customers from another knight of the last, who had previously supplied the inhabi tants with coverings for their soles.
