Ti►e Bulletins pub lished in Tuesday's Monileur state the Duchess de DERRY to be tranquil and free from fever, and the Gazette de &once, in its postscript of Tuesday morning, says, the state of health of her Royal Highness dues not give rise to the slightest dis quietude, but the Royal infant it appears has al ready departed; she lived little more than thirty hours, having expired on Monday evening, be tween eight and nine o'clock. Thus unfortunately . have terminated all the brilliant hopes ant exPec tarrons anticipated from this event.

It accuses the Nli nisterial Writers of endeavouring" to lake ithari. tage of The thinness of the House, in order to per suade the country that measures were proposed, and things passed, of the most extravagant anti violent nature." But it the House was so thin, as alleged, may. it not be as well inferred that Mr. BRouGnArd took advantage of that thinness to -sSg gest, to propose, and to declaim, Convinced, per haps, that upon 'a fuller attendance the lionse would have.seen through all his specious reasoning, and have manifested discontent at so loug-windeti and - unseasonable an harangue at st.rh a moment. As to the extravagance and violence that passed oil the occasion, we need only reler to the - speeches of Mr. BENNET and Sir FRANCIS BUl u as well as to, that of the Chronicle's Hera, Me.. B RouGnAm , an d lease the public to determines whether ail was vwderatiore, candour, and decency on the part of the Opposition. But there is one passage in the Chronicle which might tempt us to' suppose that it intended to be ironical, and almo s t, indeed, inclined to Mock itself. is sacs, " the , searr in ty h ea ped upon the iodkidual4 engagtd, in the debate, and especially upon the Mover (Mr, 8 8011014 , 0 0 requires no answer." But play, we:• may-ask the Chronicle, did none of thwe duals deal in scurrility on the oe(-nsion alloded to, and if -it Should be too tender to resume the de fence o f those individuals on this head, what wia it say on time score i n its own dailyy attar t.,s upon Ministees, and particularly that of yesterday on Lord CASTLEREAGH, and its most rrpreltentdble inn tisio►l into 'lie privntu family of Mr. CANNING t 'MS, ire presume, the Chronicle will denominixt4 f r eedom of discussion, allowed by the spirit of Ito C(►nstitution, but it is a freedom from whir h every liberal n►intl must revolt, The very anxiety of the Ciao/dee, anti its elaborate
