FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. The- rench ministers having ventured to divide on the ques tion of the tobacco monopoly, were defeatedlby a majority of 101. It is said that this division is not to have anyialfect on the sta bility of the administration: but we do not see how M. Hurnann proposes to do without the two millions sterling which this mo nopoly brought into the treasury. In'Paris it is supposed that this defeat of the administration will, in all probability, lead to the rejection of the vote iu favour of the American claims which the government expected. The closing price at the Bourse, on Monday, were:—Three per cents., 1091. sc. Three per cents., 79f. 50c. SPAIN. The Carlists claim some important victories in the north of Spain, and it was supposed that the town of Ziga would surren der to Don Carlos. . Orders have been transmitted from Madrid to shoot the twenty-seven Carlist officers lately made prisoners on the coast. This is a dreadful system of warfare, but it is adopted on With sides. General Llatider has arrived in Cata lonia, and issued a proclamation declaring his unshaken fidelity to Isabella 11., and his hatred of the " 'sanguinary Carlists." GERMANY. Some of the German papers state, that conferences for the pacification of Europe are to be held in London almost imme diately. Sir George Rose was expected in Berlin on a special mission from the Duke of Wellington. The reduction of the Austrian, Prussian; and other German armies is continued, and it is directly attributed to the prospects of the stability of the English ministry. " The English elections," says the Allye meine of the 12th, " have gone on in a satisfactory manner, and they promise a long duration for the Peel ministry, which, under present circumstances, is considered here (at Vienna) as a happy event for all Europe." It is a sure pledge of peace and tranquillity. The functs at Vienna on the 7th were—Five per Cents., Ma ; Four per Cents., 93i; Bank Shares, 1298. TURKEY. • We have news from Constantinople of the 21st ult., by which .we learn that the intelligence of the departure of the British fleet from Vourla, and its return to Malta, has occasioned a great sensation in that city. The Turkish fleet was arming with unusual celerity: we do not know for what purpose. The gross mismanagement of Lord Palmerston in all affairs con nected with Turkey has imposed a• difficult task on his successors in office. Au alarming conspiracy, it is said, has beep disco vered at Constantinople, and several executions have taken place. The news from Persia assures us that all is tranquil in that country; but the disordered affairs of the East have occa sioned many commercial failures, principally in Italy. LONDON LAW REPORT. COURT OF CHANCERY.—TessnkY. LADY HEWLEY'S CHARITY. The appeal in this cause was opened this day, before the Lord Chancellor, assisted by Mr. Baron Alderson, and Mr. Justice Pattison. Mr. Knight proceeded to state the case of the relators, in which, after going through the facts which have before been alluded to, he argued that it was impossible, consistently with the law as it had been established by numerons decisions in courts of equity, to which he referred, to permit the charity fund in this case to be diverted from what was the real object of the foundress. He insisted that the profession of Unitarian doctrines was not known in this country, and at all events not so known as to be reg arded with an eye of favour by such a person as Lady Hew ley was proved to have been, in the times in which she lived. In support of this argument, he referred to the statutes by which penalties were imposed upon persons de nying the doctrine of the•Triuity, which statutes were in force for years after Lady Hewley's death, and which were in no respect abrogated by the Toleratiuu Act of William and Mary, which was passed in her lifetime. Of the provisions of the Toleration Act she was perfectly aware, and it was in evidence that the chapel of St. Saviour-gate, in York, at which she was in the habit of attending public worship, was licensed under that statute. It would be a violent construction of the words in which she had expressed her charitable intentions to hold that she meant to include in her description or poor and godly preachers of Christ's Holy Gospel persons who denied the truths of Christianity, and who were under the ban of the law. On the contrary, the reasonable presumption, if it were neces sary to resort to conjecture on such a subject, would be that Lady Hewley would, have been one of the last persons to coun tenance or encourage the promulgation of doctrines so opposed to the religious tenets which she professed. The learned counsel referred to the words of her will, to the funeral sermon preached after her death, to the will of Dr. Coulton, and other contempo rary documents in support of this part of his argument. He con tunded it was still more strongly confirmed by her injunction, that Bowles's Catechism should be read in tire almshouse; that catechism, although of a character dissenting from the strict doctrines of the established church, being nevertheless in accordance with the received truths of Christianity, and con taining no expression which could be wrested to any meaning in favour of Unitarian doctrines. He then read at considerable length extracts from some of the sermons of-Mr. Wellbeloved, one of the trustees, for the purpose of showing that he professed Unitarian principles, and to the " improved version of the New Testament," and to the catalogue of books recommended by the British and Foreign Unitarian Association, iu which that version was found, for the purpose of showing what were the doctrines preached by persons of the Unitarian persuasion, arguing thence that their doctrines were opposed to the com monly received notions of Christianity. The further argument was postponed until to-morrow, at the rising of the Court, at three o'clock. THE COURT. His Majesty held his first levee for the season, on Wednes day, at St. James's Palace. It was very numerously attended. The King subsequently held a council, at which all the mem bers of the cabinet assisted. Most of the foreign ambassadors proceeded to the palace in grand state, especially Count Pozza di Borgo, the new Russian ambassador, whose equipage and cortege were exceeding, brilliant. Their Majesties returned to London from Brighton on Tues day afternoon. There will be a drawing-room at St. James's Palace on Tuesday, the Bth March, for the celebration of her Majesty's birth-day. WHITEHALL, FEB. 17TH.—The King has been pleased to direct letters patent to be passed under the Great Seal of tire United , Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, granting the dignity of a baronet of the said United Kingdom to the follow ing gentlemen, and their respective heirs male of their bodies lawfully begotten, viz :—Lieutenant-General Sir George Towns bend Walker, G.C.8., John Barrow, of Ulverstone, iu the county of Lancaster,,Esq., and Francis Lyttleton Holyoake Goudricke, of Ribston-hall, in the county of York, and of Studley-castle, in the county of Warwick, Esq. WHITEHALL, FEB..I6TH.—The King has been pleased to grant unto Vice-Admiral Sir Pulteney Malcolm, Knight Grand Cross of the Most Honourable Military Order of the Bath, and and Knight Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George, his royal license and permission that he may accept and wear the Grand Cross of the Order of the Saviour, with which his Majesty Otho, King of Greece, has been pleased to honour that officer, in approbation of his ser. vices while commander-in-chief of the British squadron in the Mediterranean, particularly during the blockade of the Morea and at the surrender of the fortresses of Modon, Coron, and Patras ; and that he may enjoy all the rights and privileges thereunto annexed. And also to command that the said con' cession and especial mark of royal favour be registered, together with the relative documents, in his Majesty's College of Arms. THE ANTI-WESLEYAN MOVEMENT. • 'e take this opportunity of warning our friends against the incorrect statements and rumours winch are.now circulated by interested parties, respecting the legal proceedings instituted by Dr. Warren, against the trustees 01 two' f the chapels in Manchester ' As our readers wilt be anxious to be intOrnied of the state and progress of these proceedings, we would ob serve, that notice had been given by the plaintiff's solicitors, that, on Monday last, motions would be made in the Vice- Chancellor's Court for an injunction to restrain the Rev. Robert Newton from occupying the pulpits of those chapels, in pursuance of the decision of the district meeting. Accordingly, the subject was mentioned by the plaintiff's co u nse l, when Sir William Horne and Mr. Pigott, on behalf of the defendants in both causes, in one of which (the Oldham-road chapel) the Rev. Robert Newton and the majority of the trustees are defendants, —in the other, (Ohlhain-street chapel,) the Rev. Robt. Newton and the whole body of the trustees, defendants, requested that the.thotions might stand over for a few days, in order to..allow time for the production of affidavits, in reply to those filed by the plaintiffs; it being the intention of the d e f en d ants to s h ow cause, in the first instance, again"st the application, Though the plaintiffs seemed wishful to have obtained an earlier decision of the motions, his.honour directed thein to stand over (ill the next seal, (Feb. 25,) for the purpose stated by the defendants' counsel. _ . Dr. Warren appears to be incapable of taking any public step in the promotion of his revolutionary designs, without exposing himself more and snore to the charge of disingenuousness and carelessness about the truth. We take the following in stance from his speech at the late meeting at Hull. He said, "it had beets attempted to be proved that John Wesley was favourable to a college (?) when, after all, by the testimony of Henry Moore, that most omscular man, who was *cunt •-at• the time it was agitated, he declared, that John Wesley was inimical to it, but that Charles Wesley was the person who for two or three years dwelt upon the necessity of a college ;" thus making the impression on. Iris audience that Mr. Moore was present during the life of Mr. Wesley, when the question of a seminary for labourers, not a college, was discussed in conference, although uncontested history shows that that question was proposed in 1744 or 45, before Mr. Moore was born ! He next produced a cony of a letter which he said had fallen into his hands most ac cidentally—he might say providentially, within the last four days —an original letter of Mr. Wesley, written within three years of his death, and which would convince his audience that Mr. Wesley, up to his dying day, protested against a college, and this might be supposed to settle that point for ever. This most providential discovery our readers may peruse for themselves, in Vol. 13 of the last edition of Wesley's Works, page 58. It is addressed to Mr. Asbury, and may be considered as more favourable to a theological institution, or a seminary for labour ers, than even against an American college. "I found a school," said the venerable Wesley, "you a college; nay, and call it after your own names; " allsiding to Cokesbury College ; and this is all that is in the letter upon the subject. But who has forgot how stoutly Dr. Warren pleaded for a college not many months ago? He also owned that it was "after his own suspension that he began to think, if there were not some law in metbodisin to prevent ministe rs being cut off without moral or religious delinquency." Ile most gravely affirmed that Jos. R. Stephens was not allowed by conference to speak or even think on political subjects! And acknowledged that his consenting to the suspension ofiMr. Stephens was an act of sinful expe diency. How is the gold become dim !—.Watchman. ORIGINAL MSS. OF THE MESSRS. WESLEY. TO THE EDITDRS OF THE WATCHMAN. Gentlemen,—l am persuaded that the numerous subscribers to.the "Wesleyan Theological Institution" will read with plea sure the following short extract from an original letter of the late Rev. CHARLES WESLEY, addressed to Miss Sarah Gwynne,, of Garth, afterwards his wife, and bearing date, Bristol, Friday, 3rd March, 1749. " Half an hour I spent with my brother at Kineswood, which is now very much like a college, twenty one boarders there are and a dozeu students, his pupils and sons in the gospel. be lieve he is now laying the foundation of many generations." This extract is singularly interesting at the present moment, as affording not merely collateral, but conclusiv e evidence that the principle of an Institution (not to say a college, was not only planned by W es ley . himself, but that it was actually in vigorous years ago, under the p a t erna l careand e a t: l i ent fosteringope inspection eighty-sir o of the very 'ounders of Aleihodion. 1 also forward .a MS. of the Rev. otiN Wast.F.y, equally curious and important, which I have ventured to designate a "Plan of Pacification." It appears peculiarly adapted to the present unporto.nt period. Dictated by a spirit truly conserva tive and chri,tian, penned by our great philanthropist, authen ticated by his own signature, and that of his brother, and further subscribed by eleven of their fellow-labourers in the gospel of Christ. THE WATCHMAN will rejoice to proclaim throughout the Wesleyan land such a . " Declaration" as still " in course of signature." '" Jan. 29, 1752. It is agreed by us whose names are under-written : .—That we will not listen, or willingly inquire after any ill concerning each other. 2.—That if we do hear any ill of each other, we will nut be for ward to believe it. 3.—That, as soon as possible, we will communicate what we hear, by speaking or writing, to the person concerned. 4.—That, till we have done this, we will nut write or speak a syllable of it to any other person whatsoever. s.—That neither will we mention it, after we have done this, to any other person. G.—That we will not make any exception to any of theie•rules, unless we think ourselves absolutely obliged iu con science so to do. JOHN WESLEY CHARLES WESLEY JOHN TREMBATH E. PERRONET JONATHAN REEVES Jos. Corm.xx C. PERRONET I am, Gentl, THOS. MAXFIELD J. Dow NES JOHN JONES JOHN NELSON WILLIAM SHENT JOHN HAIME." Lenten, yours faithfully, E.T. T. MR.IO'CONNELL AND MR. P. FINN Mr. P. Finn, of Carlow, brother to Mr. W. F. Finn, M.P. (brother-in-law of Mr. O'Connell), who has been so horribly abused by the great demagogue in his recent speeches at the anti-tory association, has published a letter, addressed "Tu Dan. O'Connell, Esq.," in which he pays him off with interest for alt the foul-mouthed epithets applied to him. The crime of Mr. P. Finn was the exercise of his franchise as an elector of the borough of Carlow, in support of Mr. F. Bruen, the consrva tive candidate; for which Mr. O'Connell thought proper to gibbet him as a renegade, and to.hold up the name of Finn, or, as he termed it, the finny tribe, to public execration. Mr. Finn commences his letter with tire following character of Mr. O'Connell, drawn by a catholic.clergyman :—" O'Con nell is a knave in politics, and a hypocrite in religion."—Rev; Andrew Fitzgerald, of Carlow College. After giving, a portion of the abusive matter in O'Connell's speech, the writer thus proceeds:—" It well becomes you to im pugn my motives for opposing Mr. Vigors—a man who had scarcely entered , on his political career 'when you denounced him as one unacquainted with the constitution, or with common sense;' and he, in return, gave you the reproof valiant by styling you a 'truculent demagogue.' It must be highly amusing to those who know you to have read your palinode of those opinions. Your affected commiseration of the fallen greatness of your former associate, and your lamentation that he is lost ,toa the cause of liberty, are marvellous indeed. * * * The real cause of your rage is the defeat experienced, by your Spent . Oregis in this county. How arrogant must not your pretensions he when you imagine that the independent catholic electors of this borough and county will be induced by your name and in fluence, to adopt any of your automatons, * * * • *. In one of your repeal epistles, you stated that the evils of absenteeilim alone would fill a volume.' I now, sir, have to inform you, that . Mr. Francis Bruen, whom we, thirty-five honest, independent, and undaunted catholics, strenuously and effectually supported, in defiance of your impotent menaces and insolent mandates, is a gentleman of enii"htened r , views, of brilliant talents, and as you may perceive by the enjoined letter from a catholic 'clergy man, of the parish of Grange, county of Wexford, No absentee. lie had other and paramount claims on our suffrages. He ex pended £1,500 in an unsuccessful attempt to open the borough, three years previous to the reform bill. Such cogent reasons will, I trust, be deemed by every dispassionate man a complete refutation of the malignant slanders you have uttered. • * *. You have alluded to my republican principles ; but you are egregiousiy mistaken in me, and if I had a tendency to such principles, an historical acquaintance with the dire and cala mitous results which have followed in every country, and in all ages, where infuriated democrats have usurped power, would cure me at once of political romancing. Judging from what I have seen and know of your insufferable vanity and overween ing ambition, I .am quite sure that no tyranny could be so un relenting and so 'intolerable as that which you would establish, were you to succeed in those nefarious designs which you. have long fostered, for the purpose of placing yourself as dictator general over the affairs of this country. You have said that I am one of those who 'sunk their principles ' with the money they had received from the Messrs. Bruen. There is no per son in the garb of a gentleman, possessing a spark of either honour or courage, who would dare to cast so foul an aspersion on my character in my presence. But vou are secure from my resentment, fur you are a privileged defamer—a privileged pol troon—and a privileged mendicant. * • 41 . lon have con temptuously . designated 'me ' a fellow,' but no mail living can apply the epithet of fellow to me in the sense with which it so forcibly applies to your own character. I shall now prove you to be one of the most vile and perfidious, one of the most mean and vindictive fellows, that ever was born in those fertile regions from whence you migrated." The writer then proceeds to de tail Mr. O'Connell's "abominable machinations to remove Mr. Leader from the representation of the city of Kilkenny." Mr. Finn thus concludes:—" After this record of your unparalleled baseness, do you expect credit from that ignorant and unreflect ing multitude which you have so long deluded for being any other thing than what you really are—a sordid, lying, slander ing trader on the credulity of a most wretched and a most in fatuated people? " FREEDOM OF ELECTION ! ! ! At the Cork police-office on Thursday, a woman of the name of Catherine Keating swore an information against several per sons, in the hope they might be bound in recognizances to keep the peace toward s . her and her family,. being under the apprehension of personal violence from them, in consequence of her husband having toted at the last election for Alderman Leycester, M.P., and Colonel Chatterton, M.P. From some thing which had appeared (we suppose in the informations) the magistrates at an early hour directed their secretary to write a note to the Rev. Mr. Coffee, Roman Catholic priest, requesting his attendance during the investigation. The court was much crowded throughout the day, awaiting the arrival of the priest, but his reverence, as was evident from his non-appearance, preferred not exhibiting himself before the public. The prosecutrix, on being called on to state her charge against a woman named Bess Ford, who was in custody, said the prisoner was constantly annoying her, and bringing a crowd about her door, because 'her husband had voted for Mr. Leycester and Colonel Chatterton. The prisoner came with a crowd on last Tuesday, and they all screeched out that "my husband was a perjuror ;" that lie voted for the conservators, (a laugh ;) that the devil would have us all, and she said "she'd go for Father Coffee to curse us." They brought a piper opposite my door every night, and such a crowd that we were in dread of our lives. — They were always calling us the most horriblenames; "bloody 6nsarvitor ; you bloody ruffian that sold your country, that sold your God, that sold your neighbours, and sold your soul," and a great many more. Gentlemen, we want nothinc , but quiet ness., and safety for our lives. Prisoner—in an under tone of voice—l'm sorry Father Coffee isn't here, and you'd get it. Prosecutrix.—She brought Father Coffee to us, when he asked what was the matter ? " Sir," says I, " they are calling niy husband a perjuror." "Did he vote for the conservatives - r , says he. " Yes," said I. " Oh, .then," says he, "I am sorry to tell you he is a perjurer." "No he's not, sir," says I then. Piisoner.—Tell the truth if you have a soul. Prosecutrix.—l will tell the truth. I told him, "to the we gave Callaghan and Baldwin, for we never got anything by them; but we were living by the others, as my husband worked for Sir Thomas Deane for the last ten years." " Oh, very well," says Father Coffee, "ha voted for the vrotestants, that would trample on the priests." So out he walked, and when he got to the door, he turned round before all the people, and says he to me, "I am sorry I can't leave my blessing with you, and away he went. The prisoner then came in and called my little girl a great many nasty names, and came in with a great mob and a piper. They stopped opposite the door, making a great noise, so that we were afraid of our lives of them. Here the prisoner could no longer curb her petulency, but hurt out in a. vociferous manner, struttin ,, about the court, shaking her clenched fist at the prosecutrix . , her "eye in a fine phrenzv rolling," with , gesturestnuch more eloquent than words, and which no language could pourtray. At intervals she en deavoured to give vent to her passions, in epithets bandied against the prosecutrix, every one of which seemed to send terror to her inmost soul—she shrinking back as the prisoner advanced towards her. The prosecutrix shortly afterwards left the court; but Bessy had to remain in "durance vile," awaiting the arrival of some kind friends to go bail for her future quiet and peaceable demeanour. DREADFUL TYRANNY IN TIIECOUNTY CARLOW; REIGN OF TERROR—A HOUSE AND FIVE HORSES BURNT !...• Our readers will recollect that during the last three weeks a considerable portion of our time was occupied in reporting out rages that were committed on the persons and properties of the electors who had voted for Colonel Bruen and Mr. Kavenagh. Since our last publication, however, we find the murderous de signs of the priests and their followers fully developed, for they have commenced a savage war of extermination, which, if not checked by the strong arm of the law, will end, not only in the destruction of life and property, but in the total disorganization of.society. We are led to these observationsby the perpetration_ of one of the most heinous milrages it fell to our lot to record -, during many years. On Friday night week; about nine o'clock, some villains, (instigated by the blessed hope of martyrd om ) proceeded to the premises o f Mr. John Cummins, of Bagenals town, an honest and independent Roman Catholic, who voted for his friends Col. Bruen and Mr. Kavenagh. They scaled the boundary wall, and, having torn off some slates, set tire to the roof of the stable, in which were five horses. In less than . an hour, the fire burst forth from every part of the house, and, on the alarm being given, it was found impossible, if not too late, to remove the horses, being miserably burned from the falling of the fire from the roof, although the rack and manger sustain ed very little damage. Mr. Beard and several respectable per sons of the town used every exertion to check the further pro gress of the devouring element, and succeeded, providentially, in cutting off the communication between the stable and a large rick of hay and some stacks of corn . ufhich were within a few feet of the roof, and thus, by the unexampled exertions of a few persons, there was a portion of the property, and probably th e dwelling-house, of this industrious man saved.from destruction. During the fire there were crowds of persons looking on with the grim satisfactiOn of savages, and never assisted to check the progress of the fire. This fact alone is illustrative of the condi tion of society in this county, where sympathy and christiau feeling have been erased from the list of Irish virtues through the wicked agency of priests and demag ogues. On Saturday, a long inVestigation 'took place at the Club house in this town, before William F'ishbourne and James Bat- , tersby, Esqrs. ' and strong hopes are entertained that the perpe trators of this foul deed will be brought to justice. The lute Earl llosslvn, then Sir Alexander Wedderburne, attorney-general, oas the only member of the privy council on hose advice George 111. acted in the Gordon riots. W e dd er _ burne advised the King to disdain measures of conciliation, and ' to threaten to enter London nt the head of the Guards, which determination soon restored order to the metropolis. —Carres purlent of the Times. M. POLJGNAC AND NiSFELLOW-PRISONERS. --The Gazette de France has the following :—" A person just returned from Ham relates that he found the four pnsoners there sustaining their - confinement with a dignity which ought to concilliate all parties. They are constantly endeavouring to prevent their friends from petitioning for their liberation. They are determined not to solicit any favour. They have not the trifling indulgences •ranted even to the most ordinary prisoners. They are guarded by 600 men, and every night no fewer than 75 sentinels are posted round their chambers. As to the Prince de Polignac, though this is the 16th year of his life that he has passed in durance, the noble re signation of the man must' cause those who are the most pre judiced against the minister to become the friend of the prisoner. M. de Pevronnet has not quitted his chamber fortwo years; still his spirit is not broken nor is his mind idle, and he supports his captivity with the greatest firmness." THEATRE-ROYAL.

The petition against the return of Messrs. O'CONNELL and RUTHVEN was to have been lodged in the hands of the clerks of the House of Commons at an early hour yesterday morning. There is more importance attached to this than the general reader is probably acquainted with. If O'CONNELL and his colleague should vote in the house, or take their seats therein, after the presenta tion of the petition, and should afterwards be unseated, they will both be liable to very heavy penalties. We understand that-there is no doubt whatever of their.being ejected, and the conservative candidates declared the sitting members. In this case we are curious to learn whether the great beggar will run the risk of the fines. Money is an article which DANIEL is not fond of parting with, and it would not surprise us it' he were to sham illness, and absent bin - pelf altogether from the house on the present occasion. It would be funny enough to see brotl.er RUTUVEN sick at the same time. Our singularly-gifted representative has been quite at home within the last few days. .He has been "sawing the air" in Billingsgate, and exhibiting his patterns as an orator in Wapping-highway, before the constituents of that very modest civilian,. Dr. LUSHINGTON. We confess we have had some difficulty in procuring a report of his speech, for none of the morning papers seem to know or take any notice of Mr. EWART. They pass him over as a guest, and have been wilful enough to sup press his oration. This is cruel in such kind frierlds. After some considerable search, we at length lighted upon it in the Sun, where it is evidently reported by the honourable member himself, and on this principle, per haps, that the Sun alone could do justice to the brilliancy of the speaker. We give a portion of it, which, by the way, happens to be full one half of it, in order to show the learning and classic elegance of the member for Liverpool —the rival of CANNING. He says:— "The visit of the present premier to Rome recalled some of his (Mr. Ewart's) recollections of thatancient city, particularly the forum, where there was a temple of Janus—a divinity cele• brated for two faces—there was no place more suited to the right hon. gentleman to inhale the spirit of that city than that of the double-faced god. The temptation of office had drawn the right hon. gentleman back, and had overcome his scruples, and was a sort of enlarged imitation of turn again, Whittington. (Cheers.)" We appeal to our readers whether we are not war ranted in ascribing the report of this elegant speech to the felicitous pen of Mr. EWART. It bears internal proof of it. No reporter would ever-encumber his note-book with such downright nonsense—such mawkish puffery of his own emptiness. No doubt it is of great importance that the world should know that Mr. EWART has been at Rome, and questionless the codgers of Billingsgate were quite de lighted at seeing a person who bad travelled so far, and whose learning was so transcendent. And to be told that the god JANUS had two faces—oh Jethini !as the cockneys say, that was a plumper! Had-Mr. EWART told them that JANUS was a fishmonger at Naples; and had two heads, one shaped like that of a cod, and the other like a herring, they would have believed the one story as 80012 as the other. However, Mr. EWART has been at Rome—at least he says so—and that is something worth relating. He has been at Billingsgate also, and that is equally important. Remember, reader, that there is a place in Rome called the forum—that in the forum is a temple dedicated to a divinity called JANUS, and that the said JAxus has, or had, two faces! Think of that, Master BaoosE! There was a Bow -street scene in the Chamber of De • puties of France on Saturday last, which, had it hap pened in London, would have been nuts, ale, and but tered parsnips to many a man of genius whom the pro fane world sneers at under the sobriquet of " penny-a liner." • It is but rare that such illustrations of truly na ti,onal character are to be found in the French parlia ment, and they must not therefore be allowed to slip. In our own darl'ng house, lately defunct, we had frequently exhibitions quite as racy as the Parisian one to which we allude. The honourable •cock-crower of the reformed house—the honourable imitator of a near relation, who snuff's the east wind and brays before it rains—the ho nourable phalanx cf roarers, snorters, and coughers—and the two hundred honourable geese, who could hiss, and , did nothing but hi ss , i n honour of reform and in favour of jobbing during the existence of the LUMBER-TROOP PARLIAMENT, " now no more"—these people, we say, did furnish us with touches of low humour and materials ,for mirth which we were enabled• to turn to some ac count. But as the present parliament is weeded of a large number of the buffoons, rope-dancers, jugglers, and artists of the thimble-rig who figured in the former one, we cannot reasonably expect so many rich treats or laughing choruses as, we have been indulged with for the last two "eventful" years. We consequently are glad to perceive that, as our own stock of parliamentary fun is diminishing, we shall be enabled to import a con siderable supply from the "best of all republics." If the French be for the first time desirous of trading with us on principles of reciprocity, we can see no objections to our exchanging our reform dramas and farces of the last two sessions for theirs of the present and next ses-. sion.. If they accede to this proposal, we hope that Dr. BOWRINO, of Kilmarnock, will be sent to Paris to nego c late a treaty on the subject. But to our story. A priest of the name of PAGANEL had presented a petition to the Chamber of Deputies, in which he accused the Archbishop of Paris of having fraudulently appropriated to his own use a million of francs which belonged to the government, and which had been placed in his hands for safety during the barricade and paving -stone war of the THREE GLORIOUS DAYS The defence of the archbishop was, that the patriots of Paris, at the time when they were covered with "glory," broke into his house and stole the money. M. LAFITTE, who, though a beggar, is still a deputy, and several others, took the part of the priest, and insisted that the allegations of his petition should be inquired into. Ano ther deputy, however, of the name of BAUD; came for ward and stated— "That he, from his official functions during and subsequent to the revolution of July, knew for a fart, that during the 28th and 29th of July the prisons were opened with violence, and all the worst criminals were let out, and thrown upon the capital. Even, he added, those condemned to the galleys, and those who were waiting for the sentence to be pronounced upon them—all of these were thrown pell-mell upon the town, and it was, there fore, not it all surprising that the sum of 750,000 francs should be, as it was, stolen by these scoundrels from the Archbishop's palace." This statement, made by a gentleman of unquestion able credibility, and who at the time to which he re ferred filled the office of Prefect, and was consequently in possession of the whole facts, created a tremen dous sensation in the chamber. When a policeman at the doors of a theatre calls out "Mind your pockets," the feeling that is produced in those who have got any thing to, lose is rather unpleasant. The `depiities did not fear losing any thing, but they had some very natu ral misgivings lest they should in some way or other be mixed up with the robbery. M. LAFITTE faintly at tempted to defend the good citizens of Paris against so serious a charge ; but, from the moment it was made, and the heroes of the THREE Dim were accused of theft and were proved to be housebreakers and assassins, the scoun drels of the gaols, and the 'enfranchised criminals of the galleys, all idea of inquiring into the matter was aban doned, the priest's petition was shuffled into the coal-box, the robbery and charge of malversation were hushed up, and the chamber returned to the order of the day ! A more barefaced and scandalous transaction can hardly be conceived. The deputies had before them a grave charge against a dignitary of the church. He is accused by a priest of having robbed the treasury of pub lic money ; and, while he alone was implicated, the chamber was willing enough to inquire; but so soon as other parties are charged with the robbery, and these the gaol-birds of the revolution, the thieves who placed Louis PHILIPPE on ,the throne, the blackguards who shouted vine la liberte ! from behind the barricades, mur dering by day and plundering by night--:-so soon as these worthy patriots are implicated the honest deputies are silent. Like the withered jades in Macbeth, each ho nourable member places his finger on his mouth and vanishes. Now we contend, that had there been a spark of honour, or pride, or any sense of justice in the breasts of these representatives of France, they were bound to inquire into the case. It is true the priest PAGANEL might have been some poor and desperate rogue utterly unworthy of credit; but still, not for his sake, but for the sake of the accused archbishop, they were called npon to inquire. They were bound to extricate him if innocent from so vile a charge, and set him right in the estimation of the public.' They refuse to perform this act of justice—why ? Simply because they would thereby expose the secrets of the infamous revolution of 1830—they would neces sarily bring the real actors in that affair before the world —they would show that Louts PUILIPFE is a gaol-born, thief-made king- 7 -that he owes his present high station to the galley-slaves and the scum of France—that crimi nals invested him with his sovereign dignities, that assassins were his body guards, and that the_ most poi- . futed Wretches on the face of the earth cried, " All hail, Egalitt Thou shalt be kinghereafter!" But they had other reasons for refusing an act of jus tice to the archbishop of Paris—reasons of a stilt more delicate nature. That the patriotic thieves of the most demoralized city in Europe accomplished the revolution is admitted on all hands. M. BAUDE. the Prefect, proves it. The prisons were opened—the galley slaves unfet tered—the convicts in the condemned cells released and armed—all this is proved. And it would be no charge against the provisional government, or against the re volutionary party, to say, that these miscreants did rob and plunder in all directions, because such conduct is natural to such persons, for when they robbed the archbishop of his money, his goods, and chattels, they were only labouring in their vocation ; but here the im portant question would arise—who liberated these men ? Who opened the prison doors, and said to the robber, the highwayman, and the assassin—" Citizens! you are free Y" This is the tender point. The gaols were opened by the revolutionary party—by the enemies of CHARLES X.—by the friends of LOUIS PHILIPPE—by the he roes and patriots of la belle France; and hence we must conclude that any inquiry into that subject would have led to some very awkward disclos.ures. We do not wonder at the subsequent silence of M. LAFITTE. He has had experience in the ways of such people, and therefore is naturally a cautious constable; but besides, he is so deep in the plot, as Loins PHILIPPE well knows, that, although he has been reduced to pauperism by the revolution, he dares not unveil the conduct of the more active and infamous contrivers of it. He nevertheless has been punished severely ; but there are bankers in England with just as much brains as poor LAFITTE, and who are worth a great deal more money, who would, if they could, plunge England into the same vortex of convulsion, without having sense to perceive that they, like LAFITTE, would be the first sacrifices to their own popular and sanguinary measures. The intelligence of the British people preserves these men from annihila tion. They are moths that would rush into the flame ; but thanks to Providence, to a generous King under providential guidance, and to a moral and religious peo ple, our revolutionary fusion has only produced smoke. Had our GROTES, PATTISONS, LLOYDS, and others, been Frenchmen, in 1830, they would now be living on cha rity. But what an impressive lesson does all this teach! It may be for good and wise purposes that the vicious and depraved—that the very criminals of a nation—are made the instruments by which old dynasties are re moved and new ones set up—by which the KING of Kings inflicts his judgments upon, and speaks in awful words of terror to, the worms who are the petty kings of the earth—it is no doubt for wise and good purposes that the dust of ALEXANDER may be used to stop a bung• hole, the pages of SOCRATES and BACON to line a trunk, and the leaves of the sacred oracles themselves to light a cheroot in Hindostan—all this, no doubt, is permitted, for the spirit of OMNIPOTENCE is a spirit of sublime be nevolence, exalted above the feelings of human infirmity, as the everlasting hills are above the caves of the ocean, and as impassably separated from our grasp as eternity is from time--all this, we say, is permitted, ordered, wisely and well ; but we cannot help thinking that such intermittent moral and political convulsions, throwing up, as it were, the weeds of the depths below to the heights above, are not intended to have any stability. BUONAPARTE rose like -a golden vulture from the blood-ruts and the carcass-feast of the first revolu- tion. He was the avenger of the crimes of France. Those of the unprincipled and glutted brood who had escaped the guillotine perished by the sword. Those who fanned the flame of civil war, and had distinguished t hemselves in the cause of liberty by decollating their f riends, were led by the imperial general into foreign lands, and their bones were left to bleach where their names were unknown—their crimes being expiated where even their infamy could not be immortalized. But Buo- NAPARTE!—where is he ?—aye, where ? The meteor shot athwart the sky—it was brilliant—it was sometimes fearful—but look in a ditch, in the barren rock. of St. Helena, almost out of the world—where the wild waves alone sing the praise of the CREATOR—there you will find what remains of BIIONAPARTE. It is the glutinous remains, as the shepherds say, of a shot star, which they point out under a hedge. Aud CROMWELL too! He also was a strong sucker pushed up by the manure of revolution. The people who pampered him, and upon whom he trampled, gave him the power which, like all tyrants, he turned against them. He was just such an instrument as BUONAPARTE. He was, like NAPOLEON, a man of extraordinary talent, but he was, like him, a scoundrel and a hypocrite. He made religion a cloak, because the ascendant religious im pressions of his age were pharasaical, and he made religion the pretext for every invasion of civil liberty, and every exercise of despotic power. He had his . minions and his tools as BUONAPARTE had. Both were admired and sup ported by murderers. Crime called both into existence, as putrescent matter produces vermin, but short was the. period of their power and effulgence. Where is Caom- WELL ? He lived, bated 6y all that is noble and good in the land. He died unlamented; and, singularly enough, his name is not borne by any family-or individual of any rank or station in the kingdom. We question if there be a single family of the name of CitoiewiLL in England. Louis PHILIPPE, too, in our own time, is the favoured child of revolution. He was raised to the throne of France by the same persons who raised BOONAPARTE to the im perial dignity. We have seen what the felons of the gaols, and the patriots of the hulks had to do with his elevation. He himself is the son of a heartless hypocrite —of as base a man as ever lived. Thereis treason'and guilt in the blood he derived from his father. He was placed .on the throne by . the vilest wretches that ever robbed or stabbed in the cause orliberty. Is his fate then to be different from that of Caoartrem or BUONAPARTE? This is a question whiclicannot be answered. M. LAPirra supported the republic—he supported the emperor—he swore fidelity. to tharestored monarchy—he contributed largely to the placing of Louis PHILIPPE on the throne. We mention LAPITTE'S name because, although one o the twenty thousand fools and charlatans who live in Paris, his name is best known. But can we fairly calcu late upon the stability of the dynasty of the son of EGA LITE, seeing that it had such founders ? We say that ail hiStory, all experience, all justice, is against the supposi tion. It must fall! The props are rotten—the heroes of the revolution are in gaol—its prime promoters are bank rupts—those who fomented the revolution are now the victims of it—those who wrote eloquently in favour of liberty are now enjoying undisturbed liberty in the fetid . prisons of Paris. Those who ventured their life and pro perty, in order to consolidate the "best of all republics,' have had their houses burnt about their ears, their chil dren massacred, their factories destroyed, without the slightest hope of contpensation. Witness Lyons ! That is a Phoenix in its ashes, which lifts its dying head, in order to protest against liberty and patriotism in France. Witness also the long terms of imprisonment and the heavy fines imposed upon the conductors of newspapers —upon the very persons who so largely contributed to place Louis PHILIPPE upon the throne. Far be it from us to regret that these literary scamps are punished- We applaud the measures of BOONAPARTE, which kept their teeth and their pens in due order. They lied in the cause of liberty; and it was proper that they should not lie against its fruits. If some fifty or sixty of these gen tlemen of the press were guillotined, it would be a kind service rendered to France and Europe, for- they richly deserve it; .but the punishment of one set of dishonest adventurers by another still more dishonest, is not a prin ciple which we much admire. If the tools must be burnt, the piincipals must also shine in the grand oblation. The flame, to be impressive and exemplary, must be of the pitch profane, and the rosin red. 1 _ Both must blaze or there is no justice done. • • LONDON LATEST NEWS.

Notwithstanding the braggadocio of the destructive press there seems to be no doubt of the result of the contest to-mor row,i altboygls, on the one side will be arrayed oaii 4ealtb, reputation, talent, and integrity, and to these will be opposed faction, recklessness, treason, revolution—a political Hydra, which, if not immediately strangled, will paralyze the empire with its poison, rend the country with its anarchical divisions, and bury the constitution under a weight of democracy and political incendiarism unprecedented since those days when France was given up to be scrambled'for by every man of pro perty weak enough to become the tool of knaves, and by every traitor willing to advantage himself of such weakness, to form an additional step to the ladder by which be mounted to domi nion and to despotism.

During the session of the last parliament the whigs affected to be the patrons of the destruc tives or " liberals" (what would Dr. Johnion say ?) as they please to term themselves. Now Lord John Russell, Abercromby, and Co. openly avow their subserviency to the agitatorial band, and crave their "sweet voices" as a boon. Wakley and Co., of tap-tub oratory, are also solicited to join the assailants; and all those who can sit in the Commons House with far more tranquillity than they venture in their own, are supplicated by the whigs (shades of Fox, of Burke, of Romilly, how you must start and shudder in your Tartarian gulph) to join in' over throwing all that the country has been taught for years to venerate and preserve.
