Limon,
MONDAY, DECEMBER 13.

We have received the Paris Papers of Monday
and Tuesday. They contain the decision of the
Chamber of Deputies on the election of the Regicide
M. Gregoire. M. Becquey, in the name of the fifth
Bureau, reported, that they thought the election
invalid, because the law declares, that at least one
half of the Deputies of each Department must have
their real domicile in it ; on which law M. Gregoire
was excluded. M. Becquey further stated, that
such being the case, the Bureau did not wish to ex-
amine into the validity of his return on considerations
of a personal nature, trusting that, warned by the
strong expression of public opinion which was mani-
fested on this subject, the {•;lectors of France would
in future respect the dignity of the Throne and the
feelings of the nation. Ile concluded by moving,
" that the election of M. Gregoire was null and
void." A most extraordinary scene of confusion
ensued on the attempt to discuss this question. The
majority were for proceeding at once to the vote,
while a number of Members insisted on being pre-
viously heard. The contention between them be •
came quite outrageous. The President rung his
bell, and put on his hat repeatedly, but all to no
purpose. The uproar continued to rage in defiance
of all authority, and the President was at last obliged
to declare the Sitting suspended for one hour.
During this interval the Members came to an
agreement that the discussion should be allowed to
proceed. The Sitting being resumed, M. Laine was
first heard in support of the motion for declaring the
nullity of the election, and was followed on the same
side by M. de la Bourdonnaye, Count de Caze, M.
Corbicre, M. Courvoisier, and other Members. The
only person. who maintained the negative were NI.
Benjamin Constant, M. Manuel, and M cchin.
The pint of residency was scarcely once touched
upon, and the whole discussion, which was extremely
animated and vehement, turned on the circum-
stances of M. Gregoire's infamous not•iriety as oita
of the Regicides, and of them all, one of the most
unrepenting. The question went to the vote. amid
another scene of confusion nearly as great as that
with which it opened, when it was curried by a vast
majority that M. Gregoire's election was null. The
result was hailed with loud acclamations of Five le
Roi ! and the Chamber adjourned at half-past five.

By the latest intelligence from Rio de Janeiro, it
appears that the Court of Brazils has lost all hope of
an adjustment with Spain relative to the affairs of
the Rio de la Plata, and that the former has, there-
fore, taken all the precautions dictated by prudence,
to protect her trans-Atlantic dominions from any
insult that the Spaniards may intend against them,
if ever tin ir boasted expedition should reach those
shores. Every exposed point of that monarchy has
been put into a state of defence, and Monte Video
has been provided with every nican* of resistance.—
Orders have been likewise transmitted to the Go-
vernment of Portugal, directing that a quantity of
ammunition and provision be sent immediately to
Monte Video, with a body of fresh troops, escorted
by two men of %car, which arc double manned, that
they may fill up any deficiencies in the crews of
the squadron wl.ich they are going to juin in the
Rio de la Plata.
