the grounds that the partisans of Buonaparte were
ripe fur insurrection in various parts of France,
and that they expected a blow would be struck in
February or March. The Ministers, hewever, did
not disclose any satisfactory information on the sub.
ject. The project was opposed by M. Basterreche
and M. Benjamin Constant, and supported by the
Count de la Bourdonnaye ; after which the debate
was adjourned until the next flay. The Qui,lidiew
says, that at Paris, on the 6th inst. a person of some
conscquence was arrested. We have seen several
private letters which positively assert, that the Ex-
Minister, the Duke Decant); comes to this country
in the Quality of Ambassador from the Court of
France in the course of the ensuing month. The

The German papers contain the following
article :
" ITALY. FEB. 2g.—lt is believed that the affairs of a Lady
of very high rank will be arranged in the following manner ;
namely, that the allowance which she has hitherto received will
be doubled, to be paid in any place on the Continent that she
may de:An ; and that a sufficient sum will also be allowed for the
payment of her debts. It is said that she will cnoosePalenno
as the ',lace of her future residence."'
Tuesday e v ening. Mr. Hunt arrived at Leeds, on
his way to York, to tale his trial. He was met,
about two miles from Leeds, by 30,000 people ;
about 20,000 of whom carried torches. The
anxiety of the Yorkshire and Lancashire people,
for the result of the approaching trial, is indescri-
hablc
The nephew of Prince Poniatowski, who threw
himself into the river at the battle of Lipsic, at the
blowing up of the bridge, and lost his life, is now
on a visit to Oxford University, and has al•arttnents
at the Mitre lath.
The singular return of four members from Bi-
shop's Castle, the votes for each being equal, is the
' first business that must be taken notice of after Par-
liament meets and is constituted. It takes prece-
dence of every other whatsoever. The vote which
would have cast the balanee was refused by the re-
turning officer, in the teeth, it is said, of all legal
precedent. A youth, who was born on the 10th of
March. tendered his vote on the 9th, as being 21
years of age on that day: l►e was rejected, as not
being of age until the 10th.
Thistlewood is not allowed pen, ink, or paper.—
On Friday ho was presented with a Bible. Shortly
after he was visited by his wife and son, a lad about
11. years of age. It was Mrs. 'l'histlewuo.l's second
visit. She is a neat ,ittle woman, and wore a bonnet
with white ribands. The prisoner walked for au
hour on the leads over the prison. The other
prisoners also enjoy a wa'k daily in the part of the
Tower where they are confined, but only one at a
time.

The Treasury Journals persevere in contradicting
the report of an intention on the part of Ministers,
to increase the Civil List. Experience, however,
has proved, that very little credit is tlue in such
cases to any assertions from that e,aarter—and, con-
sequently, we find the rumour continues to prevail.
On the recent election tbr Beverley, Mr. Wharton
publicly declared from the hustings the determination
of Ministers to increase the Civil List, as a fact that
had come to his knowledge.
