LONDON, SATURDAY. MAICII 5, 1825.

By the Paris Papers that arrived last night, we find that
the discussion of M. DE L EZARDI E RE'S amendment of the
veond artic!e of the Law of Indemnity was resumed on
Tuesday in the Chamber of Deputies. M. as LABOUR..
DONNA e supported the proposition in a speech delivered
with great vehemence. Ile contended, that as it was less
an object with the National Convention to fill the public
treasury by the sale of the confiscated estates than to dis-
tribute them in small portions among the mass of the people,
in order to create a new body of interests in support of the
new order of things, the revolutionary valuations were in
every instance much below the real worth of the property.
Tile valuators were, besides, generally themselves pur-
chasers, or if not, in some mode they contrive to share in
the spoil of the emigrants. In the departments where civil
war had raged, the national archives have been wholly de-
stroyed: in these cases, how was the Government to pro-
ceed? As to the objection that the separated parcels could
not be distinguished, he affirmed that every peasant in
every commune could point out precisely the limits of every

The Brussels Papers of lirednesday were received last
night. Their contents relate entirely to domestic matters,
and consist principally of the debates in the States General.
The following is an abstract, sufficiently comprehensive,
we dare say, for our readers : •
SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES GENERAL.
SITTING of Fra. 28.
The ParSIDI:WT proposed to receive the notification of a 3les-
sage from the Firm Chamber, announcing that it hail adopted the
project of Inw relative to the cessation of the legal currency of the
French coin. II
M. DOT z NCB observed that they certainly could rot refuse to
take notice of the passage which the President stated had actually
been received from the }'trot Chamber; but it was notorious, he
observed, that on the 13th January the deliberations in the First
Chamber had led to a similar result. for the votes pea and con
having been equal, it could not be affirmed that the law had been
adopted, but that the legal consequence of this equal division of
the votes was the rejecting of the law ; for the Constitution did
nut allow either Chamber to change, by a subsequent &hate, the
result, wha'ever it might be, of the first definitive deliberation.
He made this observation, he said, that the present notification
might not be made into a precedent.
M. RETNIIINI was of opinion that the observation of M.
Dotrenge ought to be entered in the peaces verbal.
This was opposed by some Members, who thought the Chamber
had nothing to do with public notoriety ; all that it could be sup-
posed to know was, the adoption of the project by the First Chain-
ber.
M. dc STASSAIIT said the preen verbal ought to record every
important circumstance that occurs in the Sitting.
A further discussion ensued, anti the President asked M. Dot.
renge to withdraw his proposition, which he declined doing; but be
said he would wait to see the pieces
The Order of the Day was, the project of law for • rote of credit
to his Maje•ty.to the amount of eight millions to repair the disasters
caused by the inundations. The Ministers of the Interior and Fi-
nances. who were present, were loudly called for.
31. Vax A LPHAN drew a dreadful picture of the ravages of the
inundation, which had reduced many thousand families to the
utmost misery. It was necessary that the State should make great
sacrifices to repair the fatal disasters of the 3d, 4th, and sth of this
month.
The 3lt NISTEI of the Isur n oa said he thought it superfluous
to show the necessity of the project.
The project was adopted unanimously.—Pment 81 Members
Brussels Papers, March 2.

An attempt, not wholly unsuccessful, was made yester-
day to depress South American Stock, by spreading pre-
tended doubts as to the correctness of the official news of
the surrender of the Spanish forces in Peru. Last night
we received from our Correspondent at Liverpool the fol-
lowing confirmation of the important intelligence which
reached London on Wednesday, by the Lion, from Car-
thagena:—
" LIVERPOOL, THVIIISDAY EVENING.
"The Avpasis, which arrived here to-day from Carthagena,
brought no mercantile letters, being chartered express by the A.me.
rican Consul, who came over in her, and set off from Milford for
London with otiicial despatches. Captain Brewer sailed on the
17th January, and reports that the news had reached Carthagena
(by way of Chaves) that Csntarac and La Serna had thrown down
their arms to Bolivar, and that the war in Peru was thus con.
cluded.
" A Colombian frigate and two merchantmen sailed at the same
time with the Avesta to bring over the news to Great Britain.

The army estimates were brought forward last night by
Lord PALMERSTON in a speech so clear and satisfactory,
that no Member of the House of Commons was prepared
to object decidedly to the proposed augmentation of the
army. Indeed we think no man can hesitate to concur
with the Noble Lord, that " on a mature examination it
will be found only fairly proportionate to the extent
of our territory, and the greatness and variety of the
interests it is our duty to protect." Sir It. WILSON, with
a degree of candour highly honourable to him, admitted
I the necessity of the increase, and gate his suffrage to the
measure. Mr. HOBHOUSE manifested every disposition to
find fault with it, while he could not help arguing in its
favour.

The interment of the Hon. F. ASHLEY Coorra, it is
understood, will take place on Sunday next. Mr. Wools
is permitted to remain at large, accompanied by a police
attendant, to avoid the disgrace of being committed to the
County Gaol: his trial will take place at the present
Assizes for the county. Mr. LEITH, his second, has been
for the present removed from Eton. We trust this painful
*vela will not be permitted to pass without making its
due impression on those who have the conduct of our
great public Institutions for education in this country, in
which the whole system of moral preparation is lamentably
defective. If any poor were wanting of the shameful
negligence which prevails in this respect, we have only to
turn to the aflhetive catastrophe which has happened at
ETON, and the disgraceful proceedings at ll*asow, which

Consols were rather heavy yesterday. The money prices
were 93j jl, and those for the account 93j 94 931. All
South American Securities were in some measure de-
pressed. Colombian Bonds fell to 91j 92. Brazilian
Scrip, 31 4 ; Mexican ditto, 31 j. Old Spanish Bonds were
done at 2411 ; and New ditto, at 19j New Greek Scrip
was from jto f ; and the Old Bonds were at 36j 7. That
fertile source of fluctuations, the Pasco-Peruvians, were a
good deal depressed ; they were at one time as low as 31 ;
they afterwards recovered, and left off at 33j. The New
Mexican Company's Shares varied considerably ; the last
price quoted was 114. All the Shares connected with Ire-
land improved considerably, as did the Iron Shares of
every description, which are thought very favourably of.
The Rail-roads were all buoyant, particularly the London
and Northern, which was a good deal sought after ; the
Shares were done at Ij. . The Liverpool and Manchester
may be quoted between 47 and 30. The Colonial Market
was flat. Rum deolined Is. per gallon, in consequence of
the reduction of die duty, which will not be equal to
that which takes place on English spirits, as was fully ex-
pected by the West India interest, and as they understood
was promised to them by the Coancellor of the Exchequer
last year. Sugars and Coffees maintained their prices, but
there was very little business doing in those articles ; they
were principally bought in. In Spices there was nothing
doing.
ENG LISII MIMING ASIOCI•TION.—This is the last day
for receiving tenders for shares in the English Mining As-
sociation. This Company has got possession of the Great
St. George Mine, near St. Agnes. which in point of value
is but little inferior to the Consolidated Mine, which is de-
cidedly superior to any other in Cornwall. The St. George
is now in full operation, and working to a great profit.
Mercantile letters from Aleppo contradict the report that
hostilities had lately taken place between the Turks and
Persians ; and state, on the contrary, that the negociations
I respecting disputed points between these Powers had taken
a favourable turn.
We understand that, on the division on Sir F. Burdett's
motion, on Wednesday night, five Members, who have hi-
therto voted against the claims of the Catholics, gave
their support to the motion of the Hon. Baronet in their
favour.
On referring to the votes of the House of Commons for
Thursday, we find that the petition presented by Mr.
1 Abercromby respecting the Leith Docks Bill was not from
the magistrates of Edinburgh, but from the Convenery of
Trade of Leith, against the Bill brought in for the purpose
of authorising the magistrates of Edinburgh to transfer
the Leith Wet Docks to a Joint Stock Company. Two
petitions were likewise presented by Mr. Gladstone to the
same effect ; the one from the Incorporation of the Mer-
chants and Traffickers of Leith, the other from the Incor-
poration of Mailmen.
We find, from good authority, that the Committee for
the Relief of the Sufferers by the dreadful Inundations in
Hanover and its vicinity, relying on the liberality of the
public, have already, with a laudable promptitude, re-
mitted upwards of 4,000!. for the use of the different Com-
mittees in the inundated districts, though the subscrip-
tions do not amount as yet to that sum.
A Quarterly General Court of the Equitable Assurance
Company was held on Thursday, at which the state of the
annual accounts for the past year was laid before the Pro-
prietors. The cash account receipts (as well as we could
collect them) were 220,997/. 10s. 4d. ; the disbursements
152,3151. 6s. leaving a balanze in hand on the annual cash
account of 38,492/. 4s. 4d. The state of the Society's
capital was as follows:-4,343,0001. in the Three per
Cent. Consolidated Bank, and in the Reduced ditto
4,373,000/. making an amount of 8,918,0001. together with
430,000!. stock in the Four per Cent Consolidated Bank
Annuities, and 990,2361. 3s. ld. cash laid out on mortager
A wardmote of Vintry Ward was held yesterday morn-
ing, to receive the returns of the scrutiny demanded by
Mr. Crook. There are 45 votes objected to in all, on the
parts of Messrs. Crook, Dickens, and Garrett, the three
lowest candidates on the poll. Only five or six of these
were decided, and the wardmote was adjourned till Monday.
Tot. " Never, Sir," said the excellent Arch-
bishop of Cambray to a Sovereign Prince, with whom he
was one day conversing; "never, Sir, oblige your subjects
to change their religion; no human power can force the
impenetrable entrenchment of the freedom of thinking—
violence can never convince men, it can only make them
hypocrites. When Sovereigns interfere in matters of re-
ligion, instead of protecting it, they enslave it. Grant,
then, to all men a civil toleration of religion ; not as if
you approved of every difference in it as a matter of indlf.
ferenoe, but as if you permitted every thing with patience
which Goo permits; and as if you wished to conduct man-
kind into one opinion by leaving every man's reason un-
fettered, and every man's conscience free."
Su tty.—He ay IV. one day put into the hands of this
celebrated Minister the contract of marriage into which he
had entered with Mademoiselle n' ENTS AGE es, who, after
having read it. said, " Sire, will you promise me not to
be angry ?" Hersey replied, " Yes, Sully, I promise
you that I will not." Sully instantly tore the contract in
pieces, saying, " Sire, 'hi, is the use you ought to make
of it." " You are mad to behave in this manner." said
Henry. " If I am, Sire," replied Sully, " I would fain
be the only nonlntan in France. '
Last year the gold imported into the Mint amounted to
the value of 4,00,0001, the gold coined to 4,065,075/.

Dr. Antommarchi, in his " Last Days ofNapoleon," states
that one of the Emperor's latest requests was, that the
Doctor might preserve his heart in spirits of wine, and
carry it to Parma to his dear Maria Louisa. The Doctor
it seems, did as he was desired, but Sir Hudson Lowe corn
pelled him to deposit the sacred bequest in the coffin at St.
Helena. The Governor declared that he acted in confor-
mity with the orders he received.
1116 CH•NCELLORSH(r Or IRELAND.—II is confdently
asserted in town this day that the warrant has been issued
for the appointment of Mr. Plunkett to the Chancellorship,
and that Mr. Spring Rice or Mr. Fratikland Lewis is to
succeed Mr. Goulburn, as Chief Secretary to the Lord
Lieutenant.—Dublin Evening Post (g Tuesday.
MR. O'CONNELL • LIVERYMAN or LONDON.---I have
to announce to you a gratifying fact—a fact which speaks
volumes—a fact which is pregnant with hope and comfort,
that Mr. O'Connell has this day been made a Liveryman
of London. I will not, with all my admiration for our
leaders, limit it to a mark of distinction towards Mr.
O'Connell. No, it is an evidence of the opinion of the
City of London on the Catholic Question. At the ap-
proaching meeting of the Livery he will appear and speak.
Mr. O'Connell is, it seems, a patten-maker.—Dublin Re-
g iste r.
Ott Monday his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant held
his first levee for the season at Dublin Cast!e. Notwith-
standing the many persons of distinction who were absent
from the metropolis in consequence of the sitting of Par-
liament, and the near approach of the Assizes, the levee
was very numerously attended, and the persons who paid
their respects to the Noble Marquis comprised all the men
of rank and station to he found in Dublin. His Excellency
appeared to be entirely recovered front his late indisposition,
and went through the fatigues of the day without incon-
venience. Amongst those who attended on this occasion
was Mr. Hamilton Rowan, who was received most graciously
by his Excellency. "
A cause, which excited considerable mirth, was, on
Thursday, tried in the Court of Common Pleas. A Mr. Erskine, a
musical compose:, had been engaged by Mr. Morris, of the Hay-
market Theatre, to write some music for a piece in which Mr.
Bullock's Laplanders were to sing, and his deer to dance. It hap-
pened, however, unfortunately. that the leading member of the in-
tended corps de ballet died—a circumstance muck to he regretted, as
the music had parts especially adapted to the horns, and the idea of
the Lapland exhibition was therefore abandoned. The plaintiff,
however, having written the music, and not feelin,7, disposed to
withhold front the world the Lapland melodies, which he had
prepared for it, tendered it to the defendant. Mr. Morris. by
whom it might have been ushered to the public, at the same time
demanding Bank of England notes in exchange for those of the
national melody-bank of Lapland. Mr. Morris, getting either too
little value upon the one species of circulating medium, or too
much upon the other, offered as compensation only a very small
portion of what the plaintiff demanded, and hence arose an ap-
peal to the melodious feelings of a British Jury. The appeal was
not in vain—they gave the plaintiff 801., leaving to Mr. Morris his
music, and full liberty to reimburse his loss by its publication.
SUTeIDE IN PARIS.—A tailor of the name of Cauvetz,
a native of Antwerp, who had been residing in Paris since last
March, having lost his property at a gaming-table last week, on
1111 return home at three o'clock in the afternoon, retired in a deli-
berate manner to his chamber, and having rung a bell, desired the
servant to bring a strop to sharpen his razors, as they were out of
weer. His wish being coniplied with, and after coolly preparing
the instrument of destruction, he eat his throat in three different
places, and threw the razor into the street ; the persons who were
passing, taking it up and observing it covered with blood, gave the
alarm, and the neighbours proceeding to the room of the wretched
moo,
_discotered him lying on the floor weltering in blood, and de-
prived of life.
A fire broke out in the warehouse of Mr. Mallanger,
rag and fleck merchant, id Great Auden-street, Whitechapel,
about one o'clock yesterday morning, which destroyed the building
and stock ; likewise the premises and stock of Mr. Schooling, iron-
monger. It also damaged the premises and stock of Mr. Coles.
wor.hy, druggist. The building was formerly a sugar-baker's, awl
belongs to Mr. Copt.
