CHAMBER OF DEPU TIES, DEC. 15.

M. le Comte de Corvetto.—Hie Excellency entered,
in his exordium, into a view of the financial situation,
which had improved, and which continued to improve.
Agriculture and commerce, the sources of our pros-
perity, have resisted discouragement by constant etligts,
which have had a success we had a right to expect from
them.

Our pecuniary engagements towards foreign Powers
are in course of payment.
The Budget of 1816, fixed at first at 284,492,520 f.
produced 893,430,010 f. The expense may amount to
8►99,551,680f. leaving a deficit of 6,1 ±1,670f.
The Budget of 1817 was f►xed in the receipt at
1,069,Q60,2581.
It will produce 1,102,676,902 f. The expense was
stated in the Budget to amount to 1,065,660;258f. de-
dactioti being made of 3,600,000 f. as a fund of reserve.

The expetise is increased by the tidlowing items

Minister of Finance is authorised to make inscriptions to
the amount of 16 millions of annuities fbr loans or nego-
tiations, the pmduce of which shall be applicable to the
service of 1 8 18.

After reading the articles of the Law relative to the
Budget, the Chamber decided that it should meet in
its Bureaux on Wednesday to name a Commission fin.
the Budget.
The discussion' upon the Liberty of the Press was
resumed. The Minister of Polire in a speech, spoken,
not read, of two hours long went over every part of the
discussion. He compared the situation of the present
legislation with the law proposed, and pointed out all
the aavantages the new I,:w aflbriled to IV
strongly opposed the application of the Jury to mfrences
of the Press, examines! all the objections made to the
project, and replied to and refuted divers assertions
made in thrmer speeches.
e Nliaister of the Interior made a sliort and warm
reply to the Orator who had spoken first in the sitting.
The discussion was adjourned till to-morrow.

most important that have ever occurred in that assent-
hiy. Although they possess little of that fire, which
distinguishes a debate in the British House of Com-
mons, yet they exhibit enlarg•ed views apolitical
justice,
an acquaintance with, and veneration of our laws and
constitution, and an abhorrence of any thing like a ty-
ranny over the mind, which we were little prepared to
expect in men, many of whom had been the most ser-
vile creatures of the most unrelenting tyranny that

ever oppressed a people.
The private Correspondence from Paris, represent
the current of opinion to set stronger against the Mi-
nisterial project on the business of the press the longer
the subject remains under consideration. The sup-
porters of the law are only to be found among the
placemen and other dependents on the Ministers. In
the ranks of its opponents arc the leading members of all
parties in the State but those who are connected with
office. Mr. Villele, a Royalist of distinguished ho-
nour and ability, and M. Lafitte, the head of the
the monied interest, join their strength on this great
occasion, crying aloud fbr a liberal and honest execution
of the charter, which alone the people have sworn to
obey, and which the King and I:,s Ministers have
sworn to preserve inviolate. M. Ville has given us a
striking exposition of the state of France, in which
he accuses the Ministers of having obtained, under
the ht 'f Government of the House of Bourbon. a
system of arbitrary and despotic measures, character-
istic only of that reign of usurpation which it is their
duty and interest to efface from the remembrance of
the people. An idea is hazarded that the new pro-
ject will be withdrawn, and a continuation of the old
law recommended to the Chambers instead of it.

Paris Papers of Monday, Tuesday, ana Wednesday,
were received on Saturday. They arc tilled with the
speeches upon the Liberty of the Press, and with the
Budget which was presented to the Chamber of Depu-
ties on Thursday lust. We subjoin a sketch of it :

OCT. 20.

WeTttttt pate—This fair commenced on Friday se'nnight.when
upwards of 160.000 sheep were penned. The day proved remark-
at& tine, and so brisk was the sale, that at 12 o'clock scarcely a coop
remained unsold. The number of sheep penned did not amount to
that of lust year by several thousands. hut the prices were full lOs. a
head higher than at that time; ewes fetching from ,tas. to 515., and
lambs from 255. to Xos. The show of horses was very numerous,
comprising an unusual number of yearling and 2 years old colts of
the cart kind, the sale of which was rather brisk : they maintained
very goad prices, and were principally purchased for the London
market. There was an unusual number of nag horses of the middling
class; those of the better sort were in great request, and of course
fetched high prices. The quantity of flops on the liill exceeded what
was expected. and the quality was excellent. High prices, however,
are antscipatol by the growers, the stuck of old hops being exhausted.
The quantity of cheese pitched this year occupies abtmt the u,ual
space of ground ; and the prices which follow are according to the
purchases made on Friday; tine old cheese from tuna. to Ws. ; coward
from 435. to 455. ; halt' coward from 35'. to 40s. ; skim from 455. to

The light %eight, however, had still continued, and many
families had complained ut it to him. Once since, he had
received it loaf front him which was deficient eight ounces
and a liftlf.

Mr. Nilsen, in his Ilervoice, stated, that his bread was par-
ticularly moist; that this circumstance, together with the
chipping of the frosts, and the knocking off of the corners of
the bread in its carriage to his customers, might account for
a deficiency or name than 2 minces; that be always weightd
his bread at it came nut of the oven, and it was extraordina-
ry it should be always thr full weight at his shop, and defi-
cient at his customers' houses.

The Nlagistrate observed, that the fault might be in his
own scales. We arc particularly indebted to Mr. Browne
for tlik complaint, said lie. The public are obliged to any
geotlemaii who will lake the ti noble to detect and convict a
uaker who sells light bread. It is a matter of great import-
ance. By the late act, we can take cognizance of none
which has nut been houghs, and is not complained of by the
purchaser. Tints the pour, with whom bread is the chief
article of sostemaiire, and who cannot afford to complain, are
obligril to ;tibiae by the loss. I ag.ain say we are indebted to
Mr.B.rowne for this complaint ; and it would be well if every
gentleman. who, like him, can afford it, would be equally
vigilant for. the Astke of his poorer nrighbouis. 'This being
the first charge of the kind against Ansell, he was convicted
in only half the penalty.

brought up by Thompson, a constable, charged by Mr. J.
Denson, with picking his packet of a silk handkerchief.
The otlicer stated that he saw the prisoner on Tuesday even

lug him, watched him. and heard him say to two of his com-
paiiions, " He off, be after him myself;" and soon after
witness saw the prisoner draw the hanilkei chief from the
pocket of the prosecutor, when he took him into custody.
It appears the prisoner belongs to a gang of thieves, who are
dressed in white aprons to give themselves the appearance
of porters. The prisoner Wal telly committed to Newgate

7'HE DRAM.

walla .

Last Tuesday Miss Byrne, from the Dublin Theatre
made a most successful first appearance at this house, in
the part of Adela in the Opera of the Haunted Tomer.
The vocal powers of this young lady have been much
admired in the Irish capital, and we think there is little
doubt of their being equally successful here. Few cha-
ractess are better calculated to display the powers of a
fine voice than the above. None but a very superior
singer can execute the beautiful music of Storace with
credit to themselves, or pleasure to their hearers. Her
voice is one of the most powerful albs we have ever
heard and possesses much sweetness, and a degree of
compass and flexibility seldom equalled. Her execution
shows that she has been well taught, and also that her
judgment is excellent. Miss B. seems very young, and la_
loured under the tcmidity natural to a genteel female,
not educated to appear befime the public, but who, front
the best of motives, comes forward to convert the
accomplishments which were the amusements of her
childish days, to afford support to her parent, reduced
by untoward circumstances. These feelingsconsiderabh'
agitated Miss B. whilst commencing, her first air of
" frillier iv love." As she proceeded, however, her
voice became more steady, and she concluded it in such
a manner as to call forth an unanimous encore. In the
songs that followed she astonished us by the firmness of
her tones, the brilliancy of her execution, and the
science which she displayed. In all her songs she was
encored, except the recitative and air at the commence-
ment of the third act, which on account of its difficulty,
the audience, from a kind feeling, would not allow her
to repeat. We have certainly rot witnessed any thing
like so successful a delnd since that of Miss-Stephens,
and we have no doubt that Miss 13. will become a first-
rite singer. Miss B's figure is rather beneath the mid-
dle statue but elegantly formed ; she moves and looks
too much like a lady for the rustic Adela.ln truth her
fine clothes did not sit sufficiently awkwardly upon her,
i• she went through the part, however, in a manner to
prove that as.an actress she is not deficient in merit.—
Miss Cubitt appeared in Lady Eleoner, this young lady
possesses a very sweet voice, and executed her airs with
much taste Mr. Harley played the part of Edward ;
I we wish this gentleman would study nature, and dis-
play less grimace. ‘Ve have seen this character so well
supported by Knight, that we wonder, not to see hint
in it always. Dowton was as usual excellent Cooke
was not in as good voice as usual. The whole of the
Opera, however, went off wall.
Munden having recovered from his indisposition, the
Colder rf Preston has again reeled into notice.

BOW-ST RE ET.

Tuesday Anne James was brought before Mr. Birnie, hay-
hug been apprehended by Upton's party of patrole, belong-
ing to the oftice, under suspicious circumstances, in tioswell•
street, with.several articles of bed clothes, three skeleton or
pick lock keys, and a file saw, capable of cutting iron, in her
possession. The account she gave of the possession of such
articles, was, that she had brought them from her husband in
Newgate, who was a convict there 'toiler sentence of II
p.m.,. transportation. In consequence of this statement, Mr.
Brown, the keeper of Newgate, and one of his turnkeys,
attended the examination, when the turnkey identified the
clothes to be the tame that she brought out of Newgate,
winch belonged to her husband, and which he used there
(hiring his confinement previous to his being sent ott to Bo-
tany Bay. He stated, that he examined the bed clothes very
particularly previous to her bringing them out of the prison,
and he was positive the picklock keys and saw were not
among them then.
Mr. Brown observed, that it was impossible to guard
against the ingenuity of women, without they were stripped
entirely naked, as they had been known to take improper
things into Newgate in cabbages and bacon.
The turnkey said, he had no doubt but the largest pick
lock key would open the gates of Newgate. %Ir. Brown
asked him which he meant, he replied the iron gates, but did
not think that James would have eventually escaped out of
the prism'.

Vickery, the officer, examined them, and said they were
the best pick lock keys he had ever seen. The largest was
made to act both ways, and he had no doubt but that it would
open any lock it euuld enter. James and his father were
allowed to he the best manufacturers of picklock keys
that were known. He had seen a sack full ut their making.
Mr. Brown observed, that the prisoaer had applied fur
permission to accompany her husband to Botany Bay, but
her late conduct was not the way to gain that object. There
being no direct charge against her, she was discharged.

Buonaparte's complaints respecting his situation at St.
Helena, would not, I think, have excited much atrentien if
they had not become a subject of discussion in the House of
Lords ; fur as he denied our right to consider him a prisoner
of war, in opposition to the most obvious principles of reason
and law, it was not to be expected that any treatment lie
might receive consequent to Ilk being so considered, would
be Acceptable. On the other hand, admitting him to be a
prisoner, it is difficult to imagine upon what grounds he can
complain of the limited restraint under which lie is placed at

think, may be traced to the personal character and habits

PLUNDERING Wnrerts.—.A most appropriate Ser-
mon was preached at I,lanelly church, on Sunday the
HOh instant, by the Rev. T. D. Evans, against the
cruel and &graceful practice of plundering wrecks.—
The Rev. Gentlemen took his text from St. Paul's 'de-
scription of his own shipwreck (Acts xxviii. 2) " And
the barbarous people shoved us no little. kindness, for
they kindled a fire anti received us every one, because
of the present rain, and because of the cold."—Such a
contrast in the conduct of ignorant and uncivilised peo-
ple, culled Barbarians, to St. Paul and his companions,
and the too usual practice in that neighbourhood and
other places, were dwelt on by the worthy Divine with
forciole and impressive eloquence ; and the civil and
divine laws on the subject were pointed out in a clear
and decisive manner. The frequent personal ill treat-
ment of the unhappy sufferers, and the plunder of their
stranded property, imperiously call for the most active
exertions of the civil power—liberal rewards should be
offered for the discovery and conviction of such coward-
ly anti inhuman felons, and the sword of justice should
fall on them with rigid vigour. The practice on the
coast of Cambria (to our disgrace) is notoriously com-
mon, and the punishment of plunderers scarcely ever
heard of—(Cailewine Nrnvaper.)

THE QUEEN.

The Queen it precise in her mode of drinking them ;
being carried inn sedan chair to the pump room punt.
tually at nine o'clock: during her stay there, numerous
introd tetions take place, as at a levee.
Her Majesty, with the Duke of Clarence and Prin-
cess Elizabeth, and a select party of Nobility and Gen.
try, honoured the Upper Asrembly Rooms with their
presence on Monday at half past one o'clock. The Royal
Party expressed their admiration of the rooms ; and
upon the Queen's suggesting that the appearance of the
Great Ball-room must be extremely magnificent when
lighted up, Mr. Barber immediately ordered the room
to be prepared in the same manner as on ball
The band of the 38th regiment, and the MIA belonging
to the room, were in attendance. An elegant cold
lation was unexpectedly served, at which her Majesty
expressed her surprise, but most condescendingly took
some refreshment. The illustrious visit rs having in..
spected the entire of this extensive and superior este.
blishment, departed with the wannest expression of
their high sense of the very admirable manner in which
the whole is conducted. d
Wednesday her Majesty and the Princess Elizabeth, .
in their travelling chariot, preceded by a carriage and.;
four, containing Colonel Disbrowe (the Queen's Vitas. •
Chamberlain , Colonel Stevenson, Sir H. Campbell, and
Colonel Murray, and followed by another carriage and

jesty, and afterwards conducted the Royal Visitors to
the 'Mansion House, where they arrived at half past ten

ceeded round the Quays ; viewed Iledcliff Church, and,
passed over the bridge in Prince's street, along the
course of the river, to the Hotwells and Clifton. The
Royal Party took refreshments at Colonel Huglaßailie's
mansion in Park-row: It is impossible to give en ade-
quate description of the enthusiastic applause of the
citizens, a countless .multitude of whom followed the
route of the Royal Party. At three o'eiock her Majesty;

COMMON COUNCIL.

Thursday a Court of Common Council was held at
Guildhall, when Mr. Pearsall presented a memorial
from Mr. Payne, clerk of the Justice room at Guildhall,
stating the immense number of vagrants which crowded
the streets and jails of the city, in h. wretchedness,
and disease, without having any fixed !duce of settle-
ment in this country ; and hoping that the Court would
take into its earliest consideration, the propriety of pro-
viding for this unfortunate class of people. The me.
morial was referred to a ommittee.

SPECIAL JURrES.—Mr. Pearsall aid, he was charged
by the Committee to lay before the Court a Report on
this subject, Yhich yielded to none in point of import-
anae. It was important to the country, as it related
to the great palladium of Our liberty, Trial by Jury,
of which Judge Blackstone had said, " that as
long as it remained, the Constitution coul ' not be
attacked, unless it were frittered au ay by the n.ani-
nation of Jurors." He trusted the City would exert
the power it possessed of returning such wen to
serve on Juries us were not likely to be influence:l.
The Resort was then read, aided ,tatel!, that it ap-
peared toi he the practice to nominate Juries t•ont a

LONDON:

MONDAY, DECEMBER L 5,1817.

Ttis Paris Journals of Tuesday and Wednesday,
Oast were received on Saturday. The following arc the
the only articles of the slightest interest.

PARp; Dec. 9.—" The Royal Coins (of Justice) has met,
and its first act was to register the tide of Duke conferred
upon Crilion, in consideration of Ilia services of his ancestors,
and especially of the celebrated Craton, who was the friend
and companion of Henry IV.
" I'he•Caurl also registered the mitigated sentenee of Du-
val, Dnche, Foischer, and Dumont, condemned to death for
treason, in April last. They're mite imprisoned tO year% and
to be under surveillance all tire* lives.

4' A letter from MI'SCOW, Nov. 14, says, that on the 30thasf
the preceding month the Emperor Alexander visited all the
prisons which have been rebuilt.
" The four nirshals on duty at th palace (Thicdonald,
Oudinot, Moment, and Victor) breakfasted on Sunday with
the King.
" It appears 'by 'letters from Constantinople of the 27th of
September, that there was launched from the arsenal of that
pert, a 59 gun ship, the largest in the Ottoman navy. The
plague still continued, but with abated violence. The hurts
vitals of the French dad Armenians had been empty for e
month before the last accounts came :sway. Towards th
?middle of the month of October, the plague had made such
progress at Belgrade, that Baron Stormer, the Austrian
Ambas.ador, who had gone thither after the loss of his son,
was under the necessity of returning quickly to Pera, where
according to custom, he will pass the winter.

A letter from Vienna of the 29th Nov. says—
" The negociations which Prince Nletternich was car-
rvin,,° on with Spain, being terminated, the Emperor
has bestowed the Grand Cross of the Order of St.
'Stephen of Hungary, upon his Royal Higness the In-
fant Charles Loui3, upon the Chevalier Pizarro, the
Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs, end the Doke de
San Carlos, lately Minister here, and now oared:fed to
the Court of London,'
The same letter adds," that a list had been published
a' Vienna of the Gazettes and foreign Journals whose
introduction and circulation will be permitted in the
Austrian States. Their number is very limited. T!!e
Gazettes of Weimar, Bremen, Mentz, WishAen, Nu-
remberg, Stutgard, &c. are prohibited."
It is by an Ordonnance of the 4th Dec. that the
Chamber of Council of the second civil section at Rouen,
ha 3 sent before the Correctional Tribunal of that city.

LUNATIC AsyLums,

Lord Ilirrsltvc, pursuant to notice, addressed the Home
for the purpose of obtaining lease to bring in a Bill, providing
for the establishment ollimatie asylums in Scotland.
The question was put and Carried.
The Exchequer Court Bill was committed, and the Report
ordered to be received to-morrow.
WINDOW TAX BILL.

General GAstovxEiMquiretl, on behalf of Isis constituents,
into the nature and objects of 'lli, Bill.
The CHANcEt.LoR of the EXCHEQUER exp►essed his hope
that the Bill might be printed before Easter. He perceived
that it had created a went unnecessary anxiety in some
classes of the community. %ilia had supposed, that its object
was to extend, whilst it was in fact to curtail, the application
of the law by which the tax was imposed. It was introduced
in consequence of a decision of the Jock( s, that, by the con-
struction of the act, such houses as lia4l formerly been dwel-
ling houses, although now applied to other purposes, were
liable to the assessment. 'file principle of the new Bill was
to declare, that this construction should prevail no longer.

•lc is pleasing to mark the progress of toleration—to
watch the footsteps of religious liberty, and to hail
the advance of those principles of x•tund policy and di-
truth on which the ecclesiastical establishments of
our own country arc formed. With this view, we have
given the two thilowing articles a place in this depart-
ment of our journal. The one will !thew, that rib).-
,nation, though not avowed, is secretly making its way.
The Greek Church, though as radically intolerant as
the Latin Church from which it emanated, is not suf-
fercsl, under the wise reign of the present Emperor of
Russia, to.exercise any very active spirit of persecution
against those who dissent from it—but the following
rescript will best speak tux itsel£
The 'extract respecting the progress of religious truth
amongst the heathens, must be gratifying to every true
lover of the Gospel.

KENT AS iTZE.S.-31.4 tnsTONE, M♦ not 20.

Lancelot Boniface was indicted for unlawfully anti ma-
licionsle showing at William Bramwell, at Tunbridge Wells,
on thelitis of October last, with intent to MI der Min, &e.
Mr. Common Sergeant detailed the circumstances of the
case.
William Bramwell stated, that he was a wine-merchant in
London, and had property at Tunbridge Wells. Al Michael-
mas, 1811, the prisoner became a tenant of Isis of a house at
the annual rent of 50 guinea,. They bad been good friends,
but a disagreement had lakes place, in which the prisoner
had struck him, and he had indicts:Otitis fur the assault at
the last Jtilv Sessions. On the 4;11 of October last the wit-
ness went to Toubvidge Wells to collect his Michaelmas rents.
The next morniag, beim:, in the shop ut Mr. Cross, at the
Wells, he saw lionifuee. The prisoner bad called him by
name ; he said to bim, " I suppose you want to pay use my
scut, if so, i can now give you the receipt, es I have it
ready mitten." The prisoner• said lie had not the money
about u, but he would go home and get it. The witness

any persons so fastidious, as to disapprove of extending
our colonial resources by conquest, we would bid them
look at the present abject and degraded state of the
Chinese, and reflect, that if conquest be necessary (a
eacumstance by no means to be inferred), the con-
querors will be Englishmen of the 19th century—the
&AMC men who have delivered France and Europe
from despotism—abolished Negro slavery—introduced
the Gospel of Peare into India—anti who, with a mag-
nanimity never equalled in the history of mankind,
have not only spared the lives, but assigned princely
revenues, to the greatest enemies the human race ever
saw, anti now their captives—the King of Candy and
Napoleon Buonaparte.

THE POPE AND BUONAPJIITE.

A short time since, the public were presented with a
pretended Manifesto of Maria Louisa, in behalf of her
son ; delivered in, as was said, to the Congress of
Vienna. Although it bore the stamp of a forgery on
the face of it, and was received as such, yet the Morn-
ing Chronicle stoutly maintained its authenticity. In
the same spirit, that paper published on Tuesday last, a
letter putwrting to have been written in March last,
by the Pope, to the Emperor of Russia, censuring the
conduct of the Allies, and, of course, England in parti-
cular, towards Buonaparte. We will not lend our
columns to the for:her propagation of this vile produc-
tion, it is a tissue of falsehood and sophistry, and we
hardly know which is the more deserving of reprobatinn,
the writer of it, or the Morning Chronicle which first
published it in this country. The latter, indeed, now
modestly culls it a political pleasantry ! We should be
glad to learn front the egregious Editor, in what its
pleasantry consists, We will characterize it in differ-
ent terms ; it is a succession of lies, an insult on
common sense, and a deliberate libel on the govern-
ment of his country.—But this, in all probability, is a
trifle compared with what we may in future look for in
the Morning Chronicle, it has boldly declared, that it
will strenuously endeavour to defeat, as it is pleased to
phrase it, the present attempts of other journalists, to
suppress the expressions of public opinion on the conti-
nent, with regard to this and other countries. The
hint will doubtless be taken by the disaffected in dif-
ti:rent parts of Europe, who now, restrained by the
laws of the countries in which they reside, from giving
vent to their malice or their hatred, will hencethrth
transmit to the Morning Chronicle their abuse of the '
present order of things, and their spiteful tirades
against England anti her government.—But to return
to the fiaged letter in question, it is, like the Manifesto
alluded to, and many other equally authentic and vera-
cious documents, one of those artifices which are daily
practised by tle adherents or the admirers of Buona-
parte, whether hero or abroad, to keep alive the name
of that hated and sanguinary tyrant, and to excite
pity and! commiseration fiir him—fire him who never
knew pity, and iu whose bosom commiseration held no
place.

The Bedfordshire Magistrates have directed all pub-
licans within the county, to of in their houses a
printed abstract of the penalties against tippling, drunk-
enness, gaming, and profane swearing; and as often
as it is defaced, to apply to the Clerk el the Petty Ses-
sions for a new copy.
The Dublin paper► of the Bth instant, are silent
upon the subject of the infectious fever that has prov-
ed fatal in so many cases, and excited alarm through
every part of Ireland. The private letters state that
it has begun to subside, and that dircase is not more
prevalent LIS Qtten I,,,ctiat this season of the yor.
