On Thursday last an Inquisition was held at Ipswich, on view
of the body of John Blake, a young man, who, on the Tuesday
evening preceding, put an end to his existence by taking a largs
quantity of laudanum. It appeared in evidence, that the deceasnt
had for some time past been acquainted with a young woman of the
name of Elizabeth Acfield, who had accepted his addressisklx:t
who, for some reason, thinking it proper to decline any further
acquaintance with him, communicated her detemiinstion to the de.
ceased on Sunday,at an interview she then had with him. This com-
munication seemed to prey much upon the young man's mind • an.t
on seeing her again on the following Tuesday evening, and finding
her fixed in her resolution, he reluctantly parted from her, but tn.
parting expressed his determination to put an end to his existence.
The young woman endavoured to dissuade him from committing
such a rash act; but, on returning home, he appeared to his Risotto
greatly distressed in mind. and inconsolable. He left his horn,
about seven o'clock, and took his younger brother with him, *lea
he seht Into several chemists' shops to purchase laudanum. The
lad was sent into three different shops, where he was very properly
refused to be supplied ; but the deceased having at length, by great
ingenuity, succeeded in obtaining a sufficient quantity, he returned.
to a house in Albion-street, where he had occasionally slept, ind
where he took the poison, and in the morning was a corpse. After
twenty minutes' deliberation, the Jury returned a verdict, "Thaz
the deceased destroyed himself in a fit of temporary insanity."—
Bury Gazette.
MIZADTUL Atm:intr.—A shocking accident occurred at
Nottingham on Monday morning the 10th inst. the result of which
has been the death of more than one of its victims. A boy.searlv
Id, named Haslam, apprentice to Mr. Birch, baker, on Derby
Road, brought his master's horse and cart out of Mr. Chimley's
close, at the gate near the sign of Sir John Borlase Warren, on
Sion-hill ; a large body of what are termed plough bullocks were
then making a great noise, and a besom, it would appear, from
what came out at the inquest, was thrown at the horse, which ini-
mediately set off, and galloped down the hill, meagre every effort
made by the lad to restrain the affrighted beast. To prevent being
thrown out, he laid himself down in the cart, and setting his feet
against the fore-part thereof, pulled at the reins with all his *debt.
but to no purpose ; the horse continued his course, till he Rine to
that extremely dangerous and narrow passage, the top of Chapel
Bar, where the wheel ran against the side of the Royal Oak public
house, and the vehicle was immediately overthrown. The first
object which presented itself after the accident was Mrs. Omen-
wood, with of Mr. W. Greenwood, in Toll-sum:. She had been
standing on the footpath by the side of the Royal Oak, with her
ninth child in her arms, and was struck so violently, that she in-
stantly expired, thus leaving nine children destitute of a mother.
At a short distance from her lay her infant, dreadfully wounded ;
its akull is fractured, and no hopes are entertained of its recovery.
The lad in the cart, who was thrown out on its overturning. lay ort,
the other aide of the street, and was taken to the hospital, bleeding
and insensible; the but account that we heard of him was that he
had not yet spoken. Near him lay Old Billy, a man well 'known
as an inmate of St. Nicolas's Workhouse, with bandy legs.generally
employed in sweeping the streets. He was taken up for dead, and
carried to the workhouse in a hopeless state, being very mum
Injured, so that he died on Thursday morning. Underneath the
car was a little girl, of the name of Ann Pearce, daughter of Mr.
Pearce, tinman, on the Derby Road ; she was taken up much
bruised in various parts of her body, butt nut dangerously hurt,—
She had been sent into the town with a bottle and two shillines to
buy something, and though the child had kept the money In is
hand, the fellow who lifted her up was so inhuman aa to take tbt
two shillings from her. The evening that the accident happened.
an inquest was held on the body of Mrs. Ann Greenwood, nt the
Royal Oak, before Jonathan Dunn, Gent., Coroner, and a verdict
of " Accidental Death" was recorded.
Mu ant a.--An inquest was on the body of John 'Field,
stone-mason, of Leeds, who died on Saturday week, in conse-
quence of a stone having been thrown at him on the Saturday pre-
ceding, by Sarah Blackburn, a woman affected with temporary in-
sanity, though permitted to go at large. It appeared in evidence
that Field was employed in sinking • common sewer, and was
much annoyed by this woman ; he desired her to go about her
business, on which she became so exasferated, that she took tip a
paring-stone, weighing eight pounds, and threw it whh suChrio-
lence against his chest, that he was disabled from workint; he
took his bed on the Thursday following, and died two days Mbar-
wards. The Jury found a verdict of "Wilful Murder' against
Sarah Blackburn, and she has been committed to York Castle to
take her trial--York Courant.

The French Journalists, on Monday, filled their columns
almost exclusively with their discussions of the great poli-
tical questions now affecting tlkir country. All moderate
and reflecting men see with pain and apprehension, the as-
cendancy obtained in the public councils by the emigrant
and the Jesuitical parties. The preject for the punishment of
sacrilege, the indemnity for the old Royalist proprietors,
and the ties by which France is bound to the Holy Alliance,
form altogether a portentous mass of evil. Our Correspon-
dent is &speed to blame M. DE VILLELD severely for his
Ministerial conduct, but, considering how he is sur-
rounded, and the parties he has to deal with, we can find
much to excuse him : he is evidently quite sincere in his
desire to remain at peace.

In the Etcile there is an article extracted from the
At:trios Ob•errer, the object of which is of course to show,
that If the Mahometans have sustained losses at sea, the
elements alone base caused them, and not the Greeks. It
is admitted, however, that the Egyptian fleet is dis-
persed, though the Greek fire ships, we are told, produced
no effect. The tempest aft?rwards became so violent, but
we suppose against the Egyptian vessels only, that the
Greeks, who do not appear to have been in the least embar-
rassed by it, took several transports during the confusion.

Last night we received papers from New York to the
25th ultiind from Philadelphia to the 23d. Tire result of
the totes %f the electors for the presidential office was known.
The "hero of New Orleans," as our Transatlantic brethren,
in the excusable fervour of their patriotic zeal, style the (i-
-t/event lawyer of Louisiana, lsad obtained a majority of 19
votes over the most popular of his competitors ; but as he
falls 30 votes below an absolute majority of the whole
number of electors, the election will, according to the con-
stitution of the United States, be referred to the House of
hepresebtatives, who must choose the President from the
three candidates who rand highest on the return made to

Congress by the electoral body. The votes of the electors
stood thus:—
For General ANDREW JACKSON 101

JOHN QUINCY ADAMS - - 111
W. H. CRAWFORD - - - 41
HENRY CLAY - • - 37

The Democratic Papers insist that the House of Repre-
sentatives are bound to confirm the election of General
Jecx sore. In a Republican State, they say, " a kis num-
ber of votes cannot, consistently with the principles of the
Government, be preferred to a greater." This argument,
however, it is easy to perceive, is the mere creature of party
spirit. If it had been intended by the founders of the
American constitution that any candidate who, like General
Jecesue, had obtained a comparative majority of the votes
of the electors, should of course become President, the
constitution would not have ordered that in cases where
there was no absolute majority, the election should be de-
cided by the House of Repreientatives, limiting Them,
however, to select one of those most approved by the elec-
tors. The wisdom of this regulation will be apparent,
when we consider that by the division of interest between
two or three candidates, whose general principles might be
approved by three-fourths of the nation, the well concerted
union of a faction might secure a comparative majority for a
man hated and despised by the very people he would pre-
tend to represent. We have known instances enough in our
own country, in which the candidates at the head of the poll
have really held the lowest place in the opinion of the electors.
Where the field is strongly contested between men of op-
poeite principles, it frequently happens that those who are
the least cared for by any body, get so many votes from
each side that they appear to be the especial objects of the
public choice. The House of Representatives, we have
no doubt, understand their duty, and will perform in
spite of the outcry and artifices of faction. We should,
perhaps, notice that while the friends of General JACK-
SON insist on the majority of electoral votes in his favour, the
partisans of Mr. ADAMS have calculated that the Secretary i
of State had more votes of the people than the General.
Each party stoutly maintains the ground favourable to its
wisher, and neither seem disposed to listen to the plain dic-
tates of common sense, From the statement of the electoral
votes in another column, it will be seen that political sen-
timents only have not governed the returns from the States.
Of the 41 voters for Mr. CRAWFORD, 24, all that be-
longed to her; were given by Virginia alone. All the Presi-
dents hitherto, ADAMS excepted, have been Virginians,
and the State seems still to be desirous to retain the dis-
tinction of giving Governors to the Federation. In the
same manner Mr. Clear, who had altogether 37 votes, had 3t)
of them from the two States of Kentucky and Ohio, who
gave him all they had. He is a native of the former, which
is identified in opinion and interest with the contiguous
State of Ohio. All the six States of'New England gave
their votes to Mr. ADAMS. The Southern and Western
States, with the exception of Virginia and Georgia, voted
exclusively for General J cesote. In a country so newly
inhabited as America, it is surprising to observe the force
with which provincial feeling already operates. The ques-
tion seems to have been less what should be the poiitical
character of the future President, than from what part of
the Union he should be selected. Virginia has had its day,
and Mr. CRAWFORD was rejected, perhaps as much to
humble her pride, as because he was not judged the most
fitting to preside over the general Government.
In the House of Representatives each State has one vote
in choosing the President. As a majority of the States
have electorally voted in favour cf General JACSSON, it is
highly probable that on him will fall the choice of the
House. The States that voted for Mr. CLAT, who is ex-
cluded from this second contest, will, it may be presumed
from their locality, give their support to the General, who
will in this manner certainly obtain the requisite majority.
The PRESIDENT, in his Message on the opening of
Congress, it will be remembered, recommended a provision
for General LA FAYZTTZ, and in pursuance of this recom-
mendation a Bill has been introduced into the Senate, and
twice read, nem ice contradicente, granting to the revolu-
tionary veteran the sum of two hundred thousand dollars
in six per cent. stock, and a " complete and entire town-
ship of land, to he located by the PIESIDENT on any of
the public lands which remain unsold." This generous
reward of eminent and disinterested services, rendered
nearly half a century ago, does honour to the people of the
United States. In the history of the world there is no
instance of a more sincere and ardent devotion to a
dangerous, and at first almost hopeless, struggle, than
that of LA FAYETTE to the cause of the United States.
He was no soldier of fortune, seeking bread, and drawing
his sword in any quarrel in which the belligerents would
give him pay. He was enthusiastically attached to the
principles on which, in his opinion, the Americana were
defending themselves, and he spent his youth and his
fortune in aiding them, without the remotest prospect of
the benefits which at the close of his long and chequered
life a grateful and flourishing nation solicit him to accept.
The proceedings of the House of Representatives, re-
specting the purposed settlement at the mouth of the Ore-
gon or Columbia River in the North Pacific Ocean, will be
read with considerable interest. The ambitious views of
the United States already reach across the vast Continent,
the eastern coast of which they have as yet scarcely peopled.
What an outline they sketch for their empire ! Their jea-
' lousy of the rising prosperity of Mexico seems to have
turned their attention particularly to the occupation of the
shores of the Pacific.

The only news in these papers from South America is
the following, which we take from the Baltimore Federal
Gazette. We do not know how exactly to reconcile it with
the later intelligence we received yesterday, of the correct-
ness of which, however, no reasonable doubt can exist :
The Liberator Bolivar and all his anny passed the Andes,
in three divisions, on the loth of June—the first under the
command of General COMIONII,. by Caja Tambo, the second under
the command of General Lana, by Chavin—third under the corn.
mand of General La tlar, by Gusyanco. The vanguard of the
enemy, composed of 9,500 men in Acobamba, was completely
routed ; General Monet, who commanded it, was wounded and
taken prisoner. Almost all this division of the enemy fell into
our power, the number of killed on their part being very great.
Retort this action 500 infantry and 100 cavalry, under the Spanish
Chief Pena, came over to us, and fought valiantly, under the di.
rection of their Commander. We have also taken four cannon, the
train, munitions, forage, and many muskets.

Our readers saw yesterday that the Coroner's Inquest
on the young man killed in the boxing match at Chalk
Farm, ended 'in a verdict of manslaughter against all the
parties to the fight—the surviving principal, the seconds,
and bottleholders. 'Flie Jury declared their " full con.
currence in the propriety of checking the practice of prize-
fighting." The recommendation of the Judges is thus pro-
ducing its due effect ; and we hope the day is not far distant
when this stain upon our civilization will be quite removed.
The fatal battle was fought on Sunday morning last, and
the CokoNER stated, in his address to tbe Jury, that " late
the practice of prize-fighting had been carried on every
Sunday in that neighbourhood." We hope that Mr.
STIRLING was misinformed; for if his statement he cor-

rect, what can we think of the peace officers of that dis-
trict ? One of the witnesses says that he saw a " Bow-
street Officer on the ground, and desired him to put
a stop to the fight ; which he declined to do, alleg-
ing as his reason that he had not his staff." This
" officer," whoever he was, should be identified and
discharged. It is scandalous :hat men in his situation
should by their presence encourage so profane and wicked
an outrage on the law, and on public decency,--more eve-
Many when the Judges have so lately directed their efforts
to suppress the practice even in its least revolting form.

There was but little variation in the price of stocks yes-
terday. Consols opened for money at 93a, and soon ad-
vanced to 94 ; they declined to 931, and towards the close
of the market looked up to 931, and left off at 94. The
prices for time were 94i at the opening; towards the mid-
dle of the day they improved one-quarter per cent. and
closed at the same price that they opened at. Mining
'Shares, notwithstanding the favourable news from South
Amerisa, were heavy; indeed, all Shares were fiat yes-
terday.
Despatches, dated the 12th of December, were received
yesterday at the Colonial Department, from Antigua, and
others, of the 10th df December, from Demerara. They
bring no news of importance.
Despatches, dated the Ist of October, were received
yesterday at the Colonial Office, from Colonel Grant, at
Cape Coast Castle. The Ashantees, in retiring, had laid
waste the country, and reduced many of our native allies
to the greatest distress. Colonel Grant was under the ne-
cessity of supplying them with provisions, and had ob-
tained, in furtherance of that object, a considerable quan-
tity of rice from Sierra Leone. The garrison was suffering
in consequence of the dryness of the weather.
By the Leeward Island mail, which arrived yesterday,
letters have been received from La Guayrs, dated Dec. 7.
They state that the unfounded alarm which had been pre-
valent in Colombia for some time, relative to the reported
intention of France and Spain to invade that territory, so
far from having subsided, had increased to such a degree
that martial law had been proclaimed throughout Colombia.
Lisbon Gazettes were receive; yesterday to the 9th inst.
They contain nothing but a tedious homily on the blessings
of the Holy Alliance.
Letters have been received from Gibraltar, dated Jan. 2.
They contain no other news than an explanation of the
alarm felt by the Spanish Government at the appearance off'
Alicant of 20 vessels, which were said to be tilled with
Constitutionalists. It appears that these were all smuggling
vessels, waiting for a favourable opportunity to land their
cargo( 11.
It appears by letters lately received from Valencia, that
the Spanish Government has granted to an English com-
mercial house in that city (Messrs. O'Shea and Co.), the
privilege of laying down mooring-chains in the bay, which
I will be a great security to vessels in that port.

We have received Caracas Papers to the 2d ult. They
contain no political intelligence of any moment. The By-
gota ConstiiuciLmal, of the 7th of October, contains an ac-
count of the ceremony of the presentation of the Nether-
lands
Commission to his Excellency the Vice-President of
the Colombian Republic, which took place on the 29th of
September. The speech of the Dutch Commissioner, M.
de Quartel, expressed the strong anxiety which his Ma-
jesty
the King of the Netherlands felt to follow the example
of England, in establishing commercial relations with the
Republic. The internal condition of Colombia was, in all
respects, most satisfactory.
Extract of a letter dated on board the frigate Protector,
in the Bay of Callao, July 17:—" On the 9th instant
Admiral Guise despatched Captain Robertson, accompanied
by Captain Fleiman and Lieutenant Sulmane, of his vessel,
with 12.1 men, in nine boats, to take or destroy as many of
the enemy's vessels as were in Callao. At his entrance lie '
was opposed by more than 1,000 soldi.ra and marines in
the vessels, and 1,.500 attillery who manned the batteries
of the Castle and kept up a tremendous fire en our men.
Notwithstanding this, they eMeted the object of the enter-
prize, by d. stroying and taking the following vessels :—The
President, of 20 guns, burnt ; Joanna Gordon, Sag-ship,
taken ; Perla, formerly of Chile, taken ; a brigantine, name
unknown, taken ; a large vessel, name unknown, burnt.
The Protector, the Congress, and the Macedonia, were
employed in diverting the attention of the batteries ; but
almost the whole fire of the latter were directed towards
the brave men charged with the destruction of the ves-
sels."

A letter from Alvarado, dated November 27. states that
serious discontent exists in the garrison of St. Juan de
Ullna; and that two attempts have been made by the
soldiery to communicate with the shore, and to give up the
garrison to the Independents. The accounts of the first
attempt reached Alvarado on the 26th November. Twenty
men, in an attempt to reach the shore, had failed ; eleven
of them were picked up by a merchantman. A precon-
certed signal was to have been made by them, when the
soldiers were to rise upon the officers and take the place.
The account of the aLcond attempt reached Alvarado on
the morning of the 27th of November. Six soldiers had
attempted to get on shore, of whom four had been retaken.
The Governor, La Moor, is reported to be very ill.
PIIII.ADELPIIIA, DEC. 22.—The French ship Calypso,
Ducourinier, from St. Domingo for Ilavre, with a full
cargo of coffee, arrived at Key West on the 21th ult., a
prize to the United States' schooner Beagle and his Majesty's
schooner Lion. The Calypso had been tsken by the pirates,
and one half of the crew murdered : the other half are said
to have jumped overboard and made their escape. The
piratical prize crew were taken with the vessel.
A letter from Cumberland (America), of the 2d Dec.
mentions the loss of a schooner from Prism Edward's
Is.and, bound to Nlharnichi, with ten passengers on board,
all of whom with the crew perished. It also states that ten
days before two young men skating on the liver Riche-
bucto, fell through the ice, and four others w:ici went to
their assistance also fell in, when, melancholy to relate, all
perished.

LAND or PROMISE.—The Concord Register contains
the following extract of a letter from a gentleman in the
upper part of Rockingham County, to his friend in Con-
cord. The editor adds, that the man alluded to in the
letter passed through Concord with his family last week,
and corroborated the facts by his own statement:—" Last
week, a man who seven years ago went his with family from
Maine to Ohio, returned with them to this town. He had
a one horse waggon. His family consisted of ten persons.
He was in good circumstances when he left Maine; drove
business largely in Ohio—raised 1500 bushels corn—and
when corn was in demand there, could exchange 13 bushels
of it for a pound of ten ; but sometimes the traders would
not give more for it than for chips. lie had, as usual,
much sickness in his family, though he lost none of his
children. The doctor's bill was answered by giving up his
land and building. 'When he left Ohio, he bought a pair
of oxen for 400 bushels corn standing in the field--drove
them 100 miles, and sold them for 13 dollars—travelled
with his family 900 miles at an expense of 90 dollars, and
was quite rejoiced that be had got so near home again."—

[FROM OUR coIRESPOWDIWT.I
PARIS, JAN.I6.

The decided acknowledgement, on the part of the British
Cabinet, of the independence of the new States of South
America, still continues to vex and agitate the French
Ministry, although, as a feint, they hastened to declare,
through the organ of their Journals, that it was no more
than what they expected. They had, in truth, flattered
themselves that the English Cabinet was wholly absorbed
in the affairs of Ireland ; and they had hoped that, by
means of the correspondence of the Jesuitical Committee,
they were enabled to render the affairs in that quarter more
and more alarming and perplexed; it never dreamt of
having, at least for a long time, any inquietude from this
most unexpected recognition. The publication of the
official documents of the negociation with the Republic of
Hayti (in the Courrier Francais of the 11th, 12th, and
14th inst.) has greatly increased the displeasure of Ministers,
as these papers have fully exposed all its evasion and arti-
fice, while the frank, upright, and straightforward dealing
of the President BOYER, gives him an ascendancy so su-
perior to our Statesmen, that the comparison is felt as ex-
tremely humiliating, and their amour propre has received
a severe wound. It is, nevertheless, pretty evident, that
the more enlightened part of the Ministry were inclined to
have acknowledged the independence of Ilayti ; and that,
in engaging BOYER to send Deputies, they were, in
sincerity, inclined to accept their propositions ; but
the clamorous and appalling outcries of the parti ',sonar-
chique and of the Jesuits, and the measures which these
parties had induced some of the diplomatists of the Holy
Alliance to adopt OD that occasion, had so far intimidated
the Minister, that, as I have before hinted, his feats drove
him to seek pretexts for breaking off the negociations.
Even at this moment it is believed that M. DE VILLE:LT
is secretly well disposed to follow up the liberal system of
England, but that he is afraid of the predominant party,
and of the Holy Alliance, who hang ugon his rear ; and
thus the Government is plunged every day into deeper and
more inextricable difficulties.

The affairs of the emigrants becomes hourly more and
more complicated: while the Dtputies were assembled in
their bureaux to make their preparatory examination of the
Law of Indemnity, M. DE VII LELE waited upon them,
and earnestly endeavoured to induce the emigrants to lower
their pretensions. " The local estimates," he tells them,
"which are making in the several departments, may pro-
bably prove that the sum which the Government proposes
to grant to the emigrants will fall very short of fully in-
demnifying the amount of their losses. It is propesed to
grant a milliard (a thousand millions of francs, about four
millions sterling) ; but it might be necessary to grant three,
perhaps fenr, ; nay even more, to render the
ineltinnity complete ; but the Government can grant only
one milliard, and on DO consideration can it grant more ;
and all difficulties which may be raised in the discussion,
and whatever claims of compensation may be brought for-
ward, can tend only to excite distrust and discontent, and'
rei der the law still more unpopular, without leading
Government to make ore single concession, it having al_
ready gone to the utmost extremity of its power."
This address, although by no means satisfactory to
the emigrants, was however listened to with an apparent
acquit seence. But since this, the aspect of affairs is
changed ; the recent valuations taken in the different
localities give ground to beiieve that it will require at
least four milliards to reimbuse all the confiscated property
of the emigr&e. Every fresh courier that arrives from
the Departments, brings to some one of the Members of
the Chamber an appraisement of their losses made on
the spot ; and upon comparing this estimate of their
loss with the rule of three proportion of the milliard
granted them by the Governint nt, they find they will
barely receiv:, one-foutth of the amount of their due.
Thus it is that they combine and consult together ;
their conferences always end in execrating the parsimony of
the Minister. The body of the malcontents increases
rapidly, since not a day passes that does not bring some of
the Deputies an estimate of their lessee, and set at a further
distance all chance of amicable adjustment. The majority,
however, feel it prudent to show some respect to appear-
ances. The Commission charged with the examination of
the Law of Indemnity is composed of Ministerial Deputies,
the greater number of whom do not belong to the emigrant
corps ; it is therefore almost certain that their reports will
be drawn up in a sense agreeable to the Minister, and that
the adoption of the project will be concluded without any
amendments, or at least, any of importance. But it is at
the time of its discussion that the separate pretensions will
discover themselves ; we may then expect to see amend-
ments pouring in by hundreds, all of which will be seconded,
because every emigrant Deputy, with his I:,nkrediet (the
estimate of his losses) in his hand, will be sure to support
any amendment that promises him the sum approaching
nearest to his demands. A more embarrassing discussion,
perhaps, never came before a deliberative assembly than
this is likely to be.
M. DE LADOURDONNATE has started a new view of the
matter, by which he flatters himself to unite many of his
colleagues. " The Minister," says he, " wishes to col-
mate our property upon the same scale of value which it
bore in 1790; but this is inconsistent and unjust. It is
acknowledged that they had no right to plunder us ; that
the laws under which they acted are long since annulled;
and that, according to the most rigorous rules of equity,
we have not ceased to be proprietors. 'We are then, even
at this day, at least the virtual possessors of the property
which has been forcibly taken from us. It is upon the
value of that property, at the present moment, that the esti-
mation of our indemnity should be calculated ; this
estimate will, no doubt, amount to a greater sum than can
be granted to us ; but we shall then have shown that
much more is due than what is paid to us ; and
that we are willing, from patriotic feelings, to con-
tent ourselves with the indemnity the Government has
been pleased to grant us. Thus we appear to yield
a portion of our right, rather than to insist upon
it to its full and fair extent." In other terms, M. DE La-
BOURPONNAVE is desirous, that, in receiving the money
out of the pockets of the French people, it shall not be
said that France gave a thousand million of francs to the
emigrants, but that the emigrants most generously surren-
dered to France three or four thousand million of francs,
upon which they had a valid right to insist. This surpris-
ing refinement of cajolery is nevertheless looked upon by
some of his party as an act of liberality on their part,
which ought to cover them with glory; and, absurd as all
this may appear, it will no doubt meet with many abettors.
But M. DE VILLELE, in the mean time, will cautiously
avoid every movement that may ascertain his real strength,
and leave all this sophistry to make what way it can.
The discussion of the Civil List has given an opportunity
to the majority of the emigrants to express their hatred to
the Duke of ORLEANS: It is hardly credible to what in-

tenseness this hatred is manifested in the private conver-
sations of the Deputies. If the rules of the House per-
mitted them to have put the question of separating the 4th
article respecting the House of Ort t.EA NI from the rest of
the Loi, there is no doubt the proposition would have been
adopted, and carried nem. eon. ; or at least there would Le:
have been twenty voices against it. It is evident, from the
observations which escaped in that Sitting, that should the
direct lineal descendants of CH A acca X. become extinrt,
the ascendant party of the present day would leave 1,0
efforts untried to place the Spanish branch of the family Oh
the Throne of France, to the exclusion of the Oat ANI
branch, which is the legitimate, in the event of the death
of the infant Duke de BORDEAUX, who is the last of tl,e
present line.
