EVENING ED tTION. THE WAR WITH CHINA, The Augsburg Gazette gives the following from Cal cutta, under date of August 12 The curiosity of the public with regard to affairs in China increases daily, because the consequences which may attend the war in that quarter become hourly more apparent. In other wars, we have been able, in some measure, to calculate probable results from the comparison of the known strength of the parties engaged, but as far as regards China, everything is in obscurity, and the consequence may be of the most terrific kind. It is possible, that the internal state of the empire may be such, that the news of the first defeat of the Chinese forces may lead to the overthrow of the Tartar dynasty, and who can then say or form an idea what kind of empire might arise, and what form it might take. On the other hand, it is possible, that China may make a formidable resis tance, and involve us in a war on all the southern and eastern frontier from Moulmien as far as Kaschmir. We can hardly hope to avoid a war with Nepaul ; the Eng him resident, M. Hodgson, is blocked up at hathmanda; he had before that exercised a great influence on the coast as long as the Toppa family- was at the head of affairs, but it is that influence which has withdrawn from him the Queen's party, and , since the f a il o f T oppa h e has remained passive. Tae impressi o n w hi c h t h e l ast Nei) i nal war has left sof such a nature that the Go vernor-General of India ail! not easily make up his mind to undertake another, for the Nepaulese arc the rztoet fureaidable of all the Indian nations, and arc the mast favoured by nature. The public papers which have been obtained possession of are very interesting, and prove that the Court of Nepaul had entertained great projects, which it had pursued with a profound pol cy, and which it did not relinquish even in the mo ment of defeat. A letter was found from the Nepau lose General who commanded in the province, and who persuaded his Court to sacrifice, on concluding a treaty of peace, the rich districts of the plains of Hindostan, in order to preserve the districts of the mountains, which as military positions would always give them a hope of being able to ga n possession again of the plains, although by the loss of them for the time a very great fal:ing off in the revenue would take place. This reasoniag was based on the history of the system of policy of the Nepaul. Since the Nepaulese have turned their attention to the discipline of their and the battalions which they sent three since to escort an Ambassador have manwuvred with the gecatest regularity. However, a war against :Nep iul would be an enterprise less important than for merly, for the country has become well known, and the disorganisation of the Government must have sneak ened their means of defence. The news from Caubul is, as usual, contradictory, and rarely favourable. The demi-barbarous ehte!s .of the mountains are in revolt against Shah Sooja, and one or more expeditions by the English on the territory of the Kakours. the Ghilzis, and Keiburis, proves that tranquillity is only temporary, and the conduct of the political agents is not of a na ture to maintain it long. A report has reached this place that one of them has caused to be shot three chiefs of the Ghilzis, whom the Commandant had made prisoners in an expedition, and to whom he hail given a promise that their lives should be spared. The agent bits, it is said, been dismissed front the service of the East India Company. Trade is suffering. much in consequence of the war with China ; freights for Europe had risen from 40 to 50 per cent., as almost all the merchant vessels had been taken up for the conveyance of troops. The amount of sugar exported will this year reach 1,200,0001., which is higher that it has ever been. The cultivation of sugar in the valley of the Ganges will increase the quantity made in future years to 100,000 tons. Letters from Bombay state that the exportation of cotton for England had already in the present year amounted to 149,000 baler, and, before the end of the year, would probably reach 200,000. This exportation however, said to be forced, and caused by the blockade of the ports of China. A company from London has made propositions for the improvement of the growth of cotton, and for its shipment ; by that means doing away with the intermediate agents employed in that busine,s. The culture of the ASS= tea is going on very well ; the produce this year will amount to 500 chests of 80Ibs. each, Which is very well for the third year, and consider ing also that the 500 Chinese, who were expected to assist in the cultivation, are not yet arrived. Shares in the Assam Tea Company are at a premium of six per cult., which shows that the public have confidence in the success of the enterprise. The numerous wars which aro constantly breaking out are the ruin of India, and, unfortunately, there is no seeing the end of them. Regiments are embarking at Madras to join the Chinese expedition, and. an army is forming on the Teray to act against the Nepaulese. SYRIA. DEFEAT OF IBRAHIM PACHA. EXTRACT FROM A DESPATCH. HEAD -QUARTERS, BETROUT, OCT. 12, 1840, SIX A.M. My Lord,—lbrahim Paella having continued since, and notwithstanding the defeat of the corps of Osman Paella, his system of dividing his forces, in order to cover more ground against the projected armaments of the mountaineers, we have persisted, on our side, to ..t..:;e! advantage of his mistakes. On the Bth October, in the afternoon, General Jochmus occupied the heights of Ardali (where the act;on of the :24th September had been fought) and the village of Ornachajuen, without opposition, with a force of four battalions. During the following night, about 300 armed peasants joined, and the General made, early on the 9tb, a re connaissance on his left to ascertain the nature of the ground. A skirmish ensued, and the enemy showed about 1,500 men, under Hassan Bey and Emir Massoud, on the opposite heights of Calat Meidan. Commodore Napier and Selim Pacha coming to the heights of Ardali, on the 9th, resolved to drive the toemy from his position in order to facilitate the opera tions of Emir Beschir Cassim, who, having been pro claimed governing Prince, in lieu of the old Emir Beschir, had been directed to cross the Kelbson, and to enter the provinces above Beyrout ; for which purpose 'he bad collected a force of mountaineers, and had been provided with 1,100 muskets for distribution (the last remaining). The ultimate object of the operation was eventual!) the taking of Beyrout, whither Admiral Stopford had gone with part of the squadron. The position of the csemy at Calat Meidan, however, was of prodigious na mral strength, being covered by a deep ravine, and pre senting three successive lines of entrenchments—the elevation of the position, from the depth of the ravine to the highest redoubt, being perhaps 1,000 yards, and in !many parts the rocks were nearly perpendicular. Commodore Napier, with the double view of saving a great loss of life on our part, and of obtaining a t - tm.tter result in victory, directed General Jochmus to order Omer Bey, who with five battalions, had been lest in our position above Djuni, to march with two of them to Ageltun, there to cross the Kelbson, and to fill on the enemy in his flank and rear. The Emir Beschir received similar orders. Shortly afterwards, and during the evening of the 9th, •►re ascertained that Ibrahim Pacha, in person, had ar rived at Calat Meidan with 2,000 of his best troops ; viz., 1,200 Albanian body guards, and 800 of what is called his regular guard. Perceiving finally his fault, thiq General had ordered four battalions of Soliman Pacha to join him also, and 2.000 more men were ap proaching from ZAchle, in order to be concentrated in tour front. Nnt a moment was to be lost without compromising thp ~o lornn of Omer Bey and the mountaineers of the Emir Beschir. "I ho Commodore ordered up to the heights of Ardali the three remaining battalions from Djuni, and two Turkish field-pieces. At two o'clock on the 10th of October we had seven battalions at Ardali, when the fire of Omer Bey, ap p..oaching by the road of Bechifuya, was distinctly heard iu Inc enemy's rear. Th. followin disr.'ositions were then taken for an immediate attack : One battalion a❑d the mountaineers were directed to cross the ravine which separated us from the enemy, and to arrive on his line of retreat by the road to )3 rumana. Four battalions stormed tl °heights of Colat Meidan, two in tirlilleurs, support( d by two oilers in closer order, moving by the road. Two battalions reserves on the heights of Ardali. Ater two hours' fighting, and the display of the most dar.ng - on the p art ot the T ur k s , f or t h e elite troop ;of the hitherto illvanquished Ib ra hi m Pacha also stood manfully to their posts, strongly fortified and facing both attacks, we joined Omer Bey on the heights of Gitat: Mcidan. - - Toe enemy's three lines of retreat being occupied by corns. viz., the road to Pp-umana hV 16,01Utnn, and the roads to Bec hifu y a and Cor nell by .0„,,0er - Bev, inranim's iorees were thrown into the gorge, n ot twenty-five own of any of his corps romair,ing together at sunset, and he himself escaping with difficulty, ac companied by a few horsemen.

FALMOUTH, Nov. 7.—The Linnet packet, Lieut. Forrester, arrived last night with the West India mails, and has brought about 1,1401. on freight. She sailed from St. Thomas's on the Ist, and Cape Henri 7th of October. This morning the Swedish brig Christian, Captain Olson, arrived from Monte Video with a cargo of hides for orders, from whence she sailed on the 10th of Sep tember, at which period the blockade of Buenos Ayres by the French squadron continued, without any pros pect of a change. Several English merchant vessels in ballast were at Monte Video, where some of them have been waiting fifteen months in expectation of the blockade being raised, to enable them to proceed to Buenos Ayres. The steamer Iberia arrived this afternoon with the Spanish and Portuguese mails ; the dates are Gibraltar, 29th of October ; Cadiz, 30th ; Lisbon, 2d of Novem ber, and Vigo, 4th. The weath?r being boisterous, she had no communication with Oporto. The Swift packet, Lieutenant Welch, which sailed on the 4th, with the %Vest India mails, was obliged to return last evening, in consequence of the boisterous weather, on which account the Seagull packet, with the Brazil mails, was unable to proceed yesterday ; but al though the weather was very unsettled, and the wind contrary, these vessels have today proceeded on their voyages. LISBON, Nov. .—The relations between this coun try and Spain have got into a very critical state, towards which the Douro navigation question has, I believe, greatly contributed. There c.'n be no doubt that the Spanish Government has good grounds of complaint against Portugal on this head. The opening of the na vigation at all is opposed by the Septembrists, and by others who see ruin to Portugal in any concession of the kind, or who are afraid of the clamour got up by in terested parties. The Government of this country, it is believed, is itself desirous to carry the measure ; but from that weakness or procrastinating spirit that has got Portugal into so many scrapes with other Powers, no adequate steps were taken to carry through the pro ject, and the question has now again become a most serious and dangerous one, the new Spanish Government havice, on Muk) , last, it is understood, presented some kind of ultim stunt on the subject, and in support of which ulti matum it is expected that a considerable Spanish force will have already ere this time approached the frontiers of Portugal. Several councils and conferences have been held here this week, and the Foreign Minister R. de F. Magalhaes, urged the question on the attention of the Chamber of Deputies, on Tuesday (27th), ob serving that " he would not state the reasons of his pressing it on their immediate attention, as they were obvious to every one, and particularly so to the members of that Chamber." The question has been since given out every day for discussion, but other things have always hitherto been substituted. The French Minister is, they say, in a great rage at Saldanha's appointment to Madrid, and talks of it as an insult to France, and, some say, even threatened at first to ask for his passport, in consequence of the acknow ledgment by Portugal of the Revolutionary Regency im plied by the sending a special Minister at this moment. The Chamber of Deputies has again been occupied with the tariff this week, and a great number of alter ations have been made. In printed cottoos a consider able reduction has been carried, amounting to near 50 per cent. on the present duties ; but I understand that it is expected the alterations made in the Lower Cham ber will not pass the Senate, but will be resisted on the ground that such reductions are the proper subject of a treaty ; and the Duke of Palniella will, it is expected, oppose them on this ground. The vexatious conduct of the Portuguese Custom house people is beyond belief. It would really appear as if they wished to prevent foreign vessels from coming to Lisbon at all. Almost every vessel is now put into quarantine on one pretext or another, and the regalations as to Passengers, repairs, &c., are as absurd as they are impolitic and vexatious. In the case Of the John Cooper, which came in on the 14th ult , out 30 diys from Greenock, and having her masts carried away by lightning, but with no other damage, they re fused to allow the vessel to be repaired without she dis charged her cargo, although the surveyor declared it was quite unnecessary ; they insisted on sending a guard aboard, and the captain was finally obliged to declare he would abandon the vessel to them if their vexa tious proceedings were persisted in ; they have at length given up the point, but under protest that it shall not form a precedent for any other similar case, or else these wiseacres contend that ships would be continu- 1 ally coming in in that state, under pretence of repairs, but in reality to carry on contraband trade. The John Cooper entered under jury masts, and paid 3501. to the Portuguese steamer Vesuirio to tow her in. As to the passengers (emigrants to Sydney), 92 in num ber, they were first obliged to submit to five days' qua rantine—then they were informed that they must either make up their minds to live entirely on board, or corn:: on shore to stay altogether. This point was also at length given up ; but even now they are obliged to return on board before sunset if at ail, which is not customary to other vessels in the port, and obviously absurd as a preventive of smuggling out of the vessel. The John Cooper is of 700 tons burden, with a va luable cargo, and would ❑ot, of course, have been jus tified in discharging it, merely to please the absurd suspicions of these people, who really get worse and worse every day. The supercargo of the Seahorse steamer has not yet succeeded in getting his telescope, although Senhor Fiorido has assured Mr. Smith that he shall have it, and the owner has petitioned in due form' and has since been a doily attender at the Cus tom-house to get it. I have no doubt the intention of Mr. Carneiro and his subs is to keep the matter bandying backward and forward till the vessel goes, which, as her repairs are almost completed, may soon be expected, and so the owner will either have to gu without it or to pay the 55 miireis at which it was bought in. Tnis case may appear insignifant, but it shows the spirit in which these things are carried on here.—Chromicle. THE KING'S SPEECH AND THE MINISTERS. (From the French papers of Saturday.) Many of the Paris Journals of this day comment again upon the speech from the Throne, but there is nothing new or interesting in their remarks. The official evening Journal, the Aloniteur Parisien, of yes terday, has the following on the articles of the opposition Journals of yesterday morning :--" The press is hasty in its :iudgments, but the men whom the country places at its head have another responsibility, other duties. The phrases of Journals can only be phrases ; but in' eircumstances in which we are placed the words of a Minister are acts and engagements, the most solemn engagements that can be entered' into ; and unless it was desired that the speech from the Throne should contain a declaration of war against Europe, we cannot under stand either what is blamed in the speech, or what was desired. The Ministry does not desire war, but peace. It thinks that the Chambers desire it on the same conditions as the Ministry. It believes also that the Ministry which has retired desired it as well as the present. if there be a difference between the two as to the course to be adopted to attain the end which both desire, the country will soon be called upon to declare itself in a solemn mariner as to this difference. The Cabinet Iwill submit with confidence a pacific policy, but at the same time one that is honourable and which com promised nothing. The Opposition would have de sired another course, persuaded, without doubt, that it knows the will of France better than the Chambers— that is to say, better than Prance, and that a general war would lead France and the world rapidly to brilliant results ; it would have cut the matter short in a phrase of the King's speech. This would have been despotism, and the Opposition now attack with violence a Ministry whose principal fault, in its eyes, is, that it wishes to consult the nation on the gravest question as to its fu ture welfare which has for a lone time past occurred." On :the above the :Presse, which had made no com ment on the speech, says brit fly— tt Let the Ministry continue to express itself al ways with the same sincerity, the same moderation, and the same dignity, and we shall have only praises to be stow upon it." We find the following in the Quotidienne:— " Galig'iani's illessenger approves more earnestly, perhaps, than even the Journal de, Debats, of the speech on opening the session. This is a very precious avvitcourrier for the Canaarilla of the reception which this tissue of common-place phrases will receive on thi, - - other side of the Channel. The English journal pushes its dynastic fervour so far as to bear witness person ally of the emotion of the whole assembly, and of the numerous cries of ' give le Jloi' excited by the phrase intended for effect in this heavy composition." It is always with very great reiuctance that we enter into anything like a polemical discussion with our Con temporaries, even on matters of fact. There are, how ever, occasions on which we owe it to ourselves, and even to the public, to correct errors on such points. In the present case, this double duty is strongly im oep oh o oa s u e n d rl re ct u ne p re : f n sn ro u f s i a, the lit f o ne r t, a di w a e i lin, , a p t a t ar a nt e di h a l i are yr ue in nhd desirous o p or o es r n t o a t r n h, c ia e tn f t oot the e a r Ireaders may form th at correct opinion which would be impossible if events were not recorded with a strict ad herence to truth. On the first p art I of the ar ti c l e o f t h e not Q' r earnesthaveme relyto s ay, t h at we not only did approbati on o f the speech, but absolutely from expressing any • ' ny opinion at all, stating our reasons for such a course.

The result of the ballot in the Chamber of Deputies for the Presidency and Vice-Presidency is thus noticed by the Debuts : " The ballot of yesterday is already a significative re ply by the Chamber to the Speech from the Throne. The Journals of the Left had not failed in the morning to declaim with great violence. They cried out trea son, and appealed to revolutionary hatred and revolu tionary passions. The Chamber has replied by the nomination of its President and Vice-Presidents, all of whom are chosen from the constitutional party. This is the first defeat of the disastr,:us illusions under which M. Thiers laboured as to the state of the country. The oldest Deputies have no recollection of the elec tion of a President and Vice. Presidents in the same sit ting for the last ten years. What hastened the opera tion was the good understanding of the constitutional party. There was no division, no hesitation ; the con stitutional party consolidated its strength. it. is as strong as ever it was, because it is united. It has seen the perils of the country, and has undertaken to avert them by its zeal and its union. It has already begun to keep its word, and it will persevere to the end of the work." The Coustitutiolincl says— " We will not seek to delude the country ; the choke made in the bureaux of the Chamber, and the nomina tions to the Presidency and Vice-Presidency are fa vourable to the Ministry. In the bureaux it has 12 out of IS. M. Sauzet, the President, and three of the Vice-Presidents, MM. Dutaure, Jacqueminot, and Sal vandy, were its candidates. M. Calmon was proposed both by the Ministry and the Opposition. We do not hesitate to acknowledge that, if the opinions of the Chamber should continue to be expressed in the same sense, the Ministry trill have a majority of about sixty votes. But we have pretty serious doubts as to the perseverance of the Chamber. Personal questions are not always a decisive test. A particular candidateship may bare frightened timid men, who certainly did not mean to tie themselves up body and soul to the Mi nistry, in preferring M. Sluzet to M. Odillon Barr,,t. There will be more than one disappointment for those who reckon upon the ballot of yi storday, and the questions of events have so much importance, that it would be rash to prejudge them by a de cision which may have been singularly influenced by personal considerations. We reserve the future, but we do not make the present better than it is. The choice of the Chamber will create a painful sensa tion in the country. Its confidence in our institutions may be diminished by it, and this is the greatest misfor tune that could happen to a bad Ministry. The Cham ber ought to be the sincere organ of the national feel ing ; it it misrepresents it, the country has no longer any faith is the Chamber, and the worst of situations is that in which the nation has no lodger any faith in the insti tutions by which it is governed." The Courrier Francais says on the same subject : " We do not attempt to delude ourselves as to the disposition of the Chamber ; it will give a majority to the Ministry which guarantees peace ; act, however, because it has a sincere predilection for the present Mi nistry', or that it applauds what they wish to do ; on the contrary, the Deputies in general have no sy ntpathy for the person or the views of M. Guizot ; the prodi galities of Marshal Soult irritate them, and the capacity of M. Martin (du Nord) is not of a nature to inspire confidence. The majority will abandon the Ministry , ' when it shall have no longer need of it. fit this mo ment fear unites the Chamber and the Cabinet. They are now accomplices i❑ sentiment, but they are without community of opinion." The Sieele takes the same view as the Courricr:— " All the deductions which can be made," says this journal, " show that reversing about . 20 votes wou!d hasten the fall of the new Cabinet. M. Guizot and his colleagues may consider as certain, that from the day when they shall have definitively signed a compact of shame with the allies their Ministerial existence will not be long." • . THE SUIT IN CHANCERY.—We understand that Friday the 13th inst. is the day fixed for the argu ment in the Court of Exchequer, on the demurrers en tered by the defendants to a bill of discovery filed in the Hi;h Court of Chancery by the heiresses-at-law of the late William Hcatley, Esq., of Brindle.lodge, Lancashire, The Rev.

Mr. Cresswell, we bear, is rotained. CONCEitTSD'HTVER—DRURY-LANE THEA TRE.—The masterly arrangement and production of the whole of Matthew Locke's fine music in Macbeth, at these concerts, must be considered a triumph in the true English school of music. .Mr. Eliason has thus well be gun to fulfil a premise early announced that the works of eminent English composers should be presented by him during the season; and that his justly popular concerts should not be altogether indebted to foreign genius and art, as was more than hinted by his opponents at the commencement of his campaign. The supernatural cha racted of the music in Macbeth, the appropriate grandeur and fullness of its bases, and the sprightly witchery of the tenors, and the true and original genius which marks every passage, have always rendered the music not the least attraction in the tragedy. But for many years, nay, in deed, until the production of the play at Covent-garden under Mr. Macready's able management, the music pre sented was patchy and bald ; being confined to little more than a chorus or two given by second and third-rate singers. Whoever has performed the task of arrangement at Drury lane, signifies little ; it is well done. TLC passages es pecially allotted to the epLicleide (Prospere); cornets a piston (Koenig and Musard, jun.); tromboni (Dantonet, &c. ); oboe (Barret), tell wonderfully well. The effect of the whole may in some degree be judged of by the un divided attention with which it is listened to ; and the en thusiastic applause with which it is followed. Deserving, if not of equal praise, yet of high eulogy, as being of the English class, is the production of Balfe's grand trio, from the opera of Falstaff, arranged for three cornets a piston, and skilfully played by Koenig, Jarrett, and Musard, jun. The composition is admirably adapted to the instrument. The overtures to Le Pre aux Clercs, The Siege of Co rinth, and Euryanthe, together with (first time) sundry valses and solo=, form the staple for the week. The music, however, of Macbeth will of itself be a sufficient induce ment to all lovers of good music to visit the Concerts d'Hivcr. EXTRAORDINARY SCENE AT RICHMOND, SURREY.—The inhabitants of the town of Richmond hav e been fur some time past thrown in'o a state of no ordinary excitement in consequence of a lady residing at Knights bridge having disputed the right of Mr. Smith, the Vestry Clerk of the parish, and also the Deputy Lord of the Manor, to lease out certain properties which are at pre sent in the possession of some person of rank residing in the immediate vicinity. On Friday a handsome equipage, drawn by two horses, drew up in front of West Hall, the residence of Alexander Stuart M.Kenzie, Esq., and known formerly as the Old Palace. The family mansion being left in the care of servants during the absence of Mr. M'Ker.zie from this country, immediate admission was given to the parties occupying the carriage, and a scene of indescribable confusion followed. A lady, approaching the middle age, elegantly attired, accom panied by two gentlemen, demanded possession of the noble pile of building, upon the ground that she was heiress to the property, and upon meeting with a repulse from 111'Culloch, one of Mr. Al' Kenzie's servants, she proceeded to give directions to re move a turf in the garden, and formally took possession, of the estate. The necessary forms ware gone through, the lady herself taking possession of the keys of Hest Hall ; the servants sent for the police, constables were soon upen the spot, and it then transpired that the lady's name was Mrs. Nelson, that she resided at Knightsbridge, and having latterly lost a near, and, as it is rumoured, a ealthy relative, she had determined upon the novel course of taking possession of what she conceived to he her pro perty vi et armis, rather than submit to the procrastina tion of the Court of Chancery. She was conducted to the station. liaise, and there she was charged by M'Culloch with stealing the two door keys ; but, after some delay, the acting inspector allowed her to go at large, upon Mr. Joslyn, of High-street, Shadwell, a friend who accompanied her, becoming answerable for her ap pearance next morning. The following morning (Satur day) Mrs. Nelson was examined on a charge of felony, and the evidence of the taking of the keys having been adduced, Mr. M'Keuzie accepted a promise from the lady that she would not attempt to take possession of the premises again, unless sanctioned by law so to do. Mrs. Nelson, in the course of the inquiry, alleged some serious charges against parties of high rank, and stated that she would, in less than a week, iortify herself with the autho rity of the Court of Queen's Bench. The pledge of non intrusion, however, was given, and the lady was discharged. The Misses Jamieson, who have long main tained a high reputation for the superior quality of their productions, were lately favoured with an order for six baby frocks of the most ceqly description. These have just been completed in a style of ekgance far surpassing anything hitherto produced undcr the denomination of the Ayrshire needlework. From the Royal insignia, com bined with the general design of the ornaments, there can be no doubt that the frocks are intended for the Queen, though not ordered directly by her Majesty. No price and no expense was to be spared—terms suffi was fixed, ciently liberal to imply that the order came from no com mon personage.—Ayr Observer.

The French journals of Friday and Saturday have all been received, with reports of the proceed -in ;s in the French Chambers. In the brief space of two sittings of the Chamber of Deputies, the Cabinet had obtained three signal and most im• portant victories over the war party, as we shall henceforth designate AI. TRIERS and his sup porters. The Presidency of the Chambers was won by a majority of sixty-six votes. Out of eighteen nominations of Presidents and Vice-Pre sidents of bureaux or committees, the Cabinet obtained twelve—and the four Secretaries of the Chamber are decided advocates for peace. The " 221," or MOLE party, have all joined in support of the SouLT-GuizoT Adtninisttation, and these, with the defections which may he ex pected from the ranks of a Minister out of place, Will enable the new Ministry to retain that power of which it is the interest, not only of France her self, but of Europe, that it should not be deprived while it has moderation and peace for its watch words. The Gazette de France gives as the substance of the reports in the political circles of Paris on Sa turday, that M. THIERS would be attacked both by the Left and the Extreme Left, that is to say, both by the Reformers and the Republicans. Be tween theLeftand theCentresM.TH,EßS would find himself in a cleft stick. Such was the prevailing opinion. These parties had resolved not to spare him. lie had coquetted with and betrayed both and both had determined to wreak their vengeance upon him. He had resigned office, it was said, be cause he found himself in bad odour with the Left, and an object of distrust at the Tuileries. His stratagems deceived no person, and his former friends scrupled not to tax him with foul play. There was some talk, too, of proposing the im peachment of the ex-President which was of course only laughed at. But the formation of a new Lef t Centre was gravely discussed, and also a junction between the Left Centre of M. DUFAURE and the Mole party or Centre, which now supports the SouLT-G UJZOT Cabinet. This would complete the ruin of the Ex-Minister, who would find it impossible - , to'digitiize a powerful opposition out of the disjointed arid, discordant materials thus left him. Except the triumphs of the'Ministers in the Chambers, we find nothing of any moment in the French Journals. The following report of the proceedings in the Chambers will be read by every sound politician in Europe with lively interest : CHAMBER OF PEERS.—SITTING OF Nev. 6. The President, Baron Pasquier, took the chair at a little before two o'clock. Among the Peers present was the Duke d'Orleans. The first act of the Chamber was to name the Secreta ries of the Provisional Bureau. MM. de Montalembert, d'lstric, d'Alton Sbee, arid Montalivct were named, and the four youngest Peers, having votes, were appointed as Se cretaries. The minutes of the Royal sitting were then read, and the Chamber proceeded to appoint the permanent Secre taries. The choice fell upon MM. Caffarelli, Gasparin, De Pange, and Feutrier. M. Merilhouproposcd that the nomination of the Com mittee for the Address should be postponed, in order to afford time for a due appreciation of the Speech from the Throne. This proposition was put to the vote and rejected. The Peers then withdrew into the bureaux for the pur pose of appointing the Committee on Petitions, and the Committee to draw up the Address. At five o'clock the Peers returned, and announced the organization of the Bureau as folio its :-Ist Bureau, Presi dent, Count de Larochefoucault; Secretary, M. Foy.-- 2d. President, the Duke of Orleans; Secretary, M. de Montalambert.-3d. President, Admiral V,rhuell ; Se cretary, the Duke de Cadore.-4'h. President, M. Boyer; Secretary, M. de Grammont.-sth. President, M. Mole ; Secretary, M. Daru.-6th. President, M. Drvillier; Se cretary, Count Jules de Larochefoucault.-7th. President, M. Serrurier ; Secretary, the Duke d'ls:rie. The Com mittee on petitions was announced as follows :—Messrs. Persil, De la Place, Kerarty, Lapommerale, Tascher, Viennet, and Villiers du Terrage. The Committee for drawing up the address is composed of Messrs. Roy, Bar thie, Moonier, Mole, Girod (de l'Ain), Merilhou, and La plagne. Barris. After these names had been announced the sitting broke up. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.--SITTING OF Nov. 6. The chair was taken at one o'clock by M. Nogaiet, the senior Deputy. At this time about 150 Members were present. The provisional Bureau consisted of M. Nogaret, as President, and Messrs. Persil, Guilheni, Combasrel de Leyval, as Secretaries. M. Teste was the only Minister present at the com mencement of the sitting. The business of the sitting commenced with the drawing for the Bureaux. A letter was read from M. Pitot Dubelles, giving in his resignation on accouut of his absence from the Chamber being necessary for famil:. affairs. Several letters from different Members were read, ex cusing themselves for temporary absence. Among them was one from Marshal Clauscl, founded on the illness of his lady. Oae of the Deputies said, " The Marshal is present— the letter is not of recent date." This vas the fact, the Maishal being seated near M. Odilon Barrot. The Deputies then withdrew to the Bureaux in order to organise them. At three o'clock the public sitting was resumed. The Order of the Day was the Ballot for the Presidency of the Chambers. The numbers were announced as follows : " M. Sauzet "M. Odillon Barrot ........ •• 154 M. Thiers " M. Bcrryer " M. Dupin 1 " M. Dufaure " M. Sauzet was accordingly proclaimed President of the Chamber. The President proposed that the nomination of the four Vice Presidents should be delayed until to-morrow. The Chamber, however, decided that it should take place at once. The ballot then took place, and the result was an• flounced as follows : " M. Calmon 249 votes. " M. Dufaure 213 " M. Jacqueminot " M. de Salvandy " M. Ganneron " M. de Sade " M. de Tracy 47 " M. Caumartin " M. B. Delessert " M. de Lamartinc 9 M. H. Passy 4 " MM. Calmon, Dufaure, Jacqueminot, and Salvandy, were consequently proclaimed Vice-Presidents." CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, Nov. 7. I After some aiscussion as to the validity of the election o: M. Gourry, Member for Chatcaulin, the Chamber pro. cevded to the election of the Secretaries. The result of the ballot was the following : Number of votes 364 Majority M. Bignon 2ll M. Navin M. Beissy d' Anglas M. de. Sivry M. Berger l2B M. Bignon (ut Nantes) having alone si.cceeded in ob taining a majority, was proclaimed one of the Secretaries of the Chamber. Out of eighteen nominations for Presidents and Seem tz.ries of the Bureaux, clic Cabinet has obtained tweise. Tire following is the list:- 1. M. Duvergier du Hauranne, President ; M. de Toc queville, Secretary. 2. M. Mater, President; M. Combarel de Leyval, Se cretary. 3. M. Lacavc-Laplagne, President ; M. Malleville, Secretary. 4. M. Nogaret, President ; M. Persil, Secretary. 5. M. Sauzet, President ; M. Gain?, Secretary. 6. M. B Delessert, President ; M. Cliag,ot, Secretary. 7. M. Gouin, President; M. G. do Beaumont, Se cretary. 8. M. Dupin, President ; M. Lasnyer, Secretary. 9. M. Salvandy, President; M. Guilhem, Secretary. The comment of the Constitutionnel to the prediction of M. Delamartine has elicited from that distinguished personage the following reply : " TO TILE EDITCR Oi THE C ONSTITUTIONNEI, " Sir,--You h..vo properly observed that I had been twn-11 astoniF•hed to see a entElentinl note tr'in ,, d, I addresFoci to M, de Casngriac, who had asked my ad vice relative to some works on political economy.

The Comalinc, bcfore its name was known, received at. St. Helena part of the honours intended for the Belle Poule, which probably was the origin of the vague re port, that the latter had arrived there at the end of August. But on the 28th, when the Cornaline left, it had not yet appeared ; and if credit may "Je given to the report of a Danish vessel which spoke this corvette off the Azores, the Belle Poule was not likely to arrive soon at St. Helena.

HALF• PAVI' TIIREE.—The market has been very brisk and much business done. The election yesterday of M. Sauzet as President of the Chamber of Deputies, and of the Vice-Presidents, has given confidence to the specula tors. There has not been any prior instance, since 1330, of all such elections being completed in one day, owing to a want of unity; before the present instance they have usually lasted four or five days, and sometimes more.

On his present success, therefore, hangs the stability of his own throne and the peace of Europe. In both these England has a great, not to say an intense I nterest. He cannot at present be put aside with out placing at the head of the French Government .those who have had a kind of personal quarrel with English statesmen, and who would be carried into power on the shoulders of those who still cherish and avow the ancient hatred between Frenchmen and Englishmen. The accession of the war fac tion in. France to power would be a great misfor tune for-the civilized world, buCto England it would be most injurious. At the present moment, there fore, it is her policy to strengthen the government of LOUIS PHILIPPE, and enable him to preserve his power and preserve peace. His Government is founded on popular prin ciples, and he relies on his people for sup port. On the great question at issue, therefore, -their opinions and their prejudices must be taken into consideration, and it is most unwise on the part of England to do anything not absolutely necessary to her own existence, or her own success, which shall exasperate the national prejudices of the ,French, and increase the power of the war faction over :them. It should be the business rather of England, and of the English press,,to soothe the ir ritation of the war party, and enable Louis PHI LIPPE to detach from it the least warlike, and rally as great a number of his subjects as possible round his throne. "It must now be the business of both Governments," said the Times on Saturday, "to obliterate as much as possible these unhappy traces of the past, or to recollect them only as lessons of future wisdom." It should also be the business of the press to co-operate in the same good work, and we only echo the opinion of more than one Liberal Contemporary when we say that the language of the M orn i ng Ch ron i c l e on this subject is by no means calculated to attain so desirable an end. If it could be supposed that the language of that journal flowed from an official source, and was sanctioned by the Ministry, it would, we believe, be a great obstacle to the suc cess of Louis PHILIPPE, and a great injury oa the English Ministry, whose most staunch sup porters are to be found amongst those who are the most anxious to preserve peace between the two countries. The meeting at Leeds, of which we publish a full report, though coming late to assure the con tinuance of peace, which is, we earnestly hope, assured without it, will not be without a great use in soothing the angry spirit of the French popula tion, and so smoothing some of the difficulties of LOUIS PHILIPPE. The meeting, on the motion of a Dr. SMILES, adopted an address to the people of Fratice, which, tending fully to satisfy them that the English will never countenance any Government in making an attack on the liberty or honour of Fiance, will have, we believe, a most beneficial effect. A great deal of the language of Sir Wm. iVIOLESWORTH tends to the same end. We will quote a passage as an example, which at the same time notices a common, but, we think with him, an erroneous opinion : According to some persons the expression of a wish on the part of the people cf England for peace, would encourage the French to make greater demands than they do at present. This I utterly disbe lieve. I ask you, if, on a similar occasion, the French were to hold out to you the hand of peace and friendship, would you take a mean and ungene rous advantage of their friendly feelings ?—(Cries of No, no.) You answer you would not. Nor will the French, for they are as high-minded and generous a people as we are.—(Hear, hear.) The best mode of dealing with the French, is by showing that the people of England have a strong feeling of regard for the people of France. The French complain, and not un justly, of our apparent indifference to them. They say, that for the last ten years France and England have been closely allied ; that to their last revolution we arc indebted for the Reform Bill ; that without that revolution some of our most important cities, Leeds amongst the number—(Hear, hear)—would neither have had representatives in the House of Com mons, nor local self-government ; that we owe them a debt of gratitude, which our Ministers have ill repaid by suddenly quitting their alliance, and uniting England with Russia and the rest of the Holy Alliance in oppo sition to France. Ibis conduct has angered and morti fied them ; and when they found the people of England were silent, and seemingly careless of their alliance, they became doubly indignant and angry. Hence the fierce"outbreak of passion which has lately taken place in France. The best means, I repeat, of calming these feelings of irritation on the part of the French, is by the people of England assembling and declaring their desire for a strict alliance with that country. Sir W. MoLESwoRTII in this passage quotes, without rectifying it, the error which the press of M. Tit rE Its has too successfully disseminated. The English Ministers did not suddenly quit the alli ance of France; nor have they united with Russia and the rest of the Holly Alliance in opposition to France. The only object, whether it be good or bad, is, not to oppose France, but to restore Syria to the SULTAN. We should have been better satisfied with the passage had the language been a little more guarded, but we must still quote it with approbation, as well calculated to serve the good cause of preserving peace. In the following pas sage Sir \VM. MOLESIVORTII clearly shows that lie is not an advocate for peace from any " cold, faint-hearted doubtings ;" and he, no less severely than justly, chastises those who for factious pur poses have depreciated the power of England : Words cannot express my horror of a war with France, or the importance which I attach to the pre servation of friendly relations with that country. In saying this, do not misunderstand me ; do not suppose that, as an Englishman, 1 have the slightest apprehen sion for the honour and success of my country, in any struggle in which we may be compelled to embark.— (Cheers.) Never was England better able to carry on a war than at the present moment. Never were the victory more of the people greater. N ever was more certain. Some persons indeed have attempted to deny our strength, and have represented our naval forces, as weak and f ehle.
