set-Oily evening, 28 more persons were arrested
about the church of the Pe►its Peres, and conducted
o the Prefecture of the Police. This evening the
Place des Victuirca was occupied, as yesterday, by
the armed force ; but in the court of the church
ties Petits Peres, the hens trannes on foot had no
mu,kcts, and people walked about there without re-
straint, ns well as in the Place des Victories, and the
adjacent streets, where the shops were not shut.—

Notre Dame de Bonne Nouvelle, were filled with

curiosity, as they had been on the preceding days

the 'Petits l'eres, but at St. Ettstache the sermon
was frequently interrupted by affected coughing,
exclamations, and petards, which were discharged
at 'the lower sides of the church.

Cerulean, have just been discharged. The dismis.

CH It OF DEPU flCS.—Srur aNG OF MARCH 2.
On the racer verbal of the preceding sitting be-
ing read, M. Dudon rose to complain that justice
was not dent to the two deputies who had been
arrested. Departing frogi.the question, the Presi-
dent several times reminded him that he ought to
confine himself to speak of the omission of which
he complained. At length he said, that the preach-
ing of the missionaries was not tha cause of the qs-
serntlage; that every thing passed quietly at St
Eustache : and that the space about the church of
des l'etits Peres being confined, was expressly chosen
to make a copy (plagial) of the first troubles of the
revolution.

Af,er a moment's interruption, he precceded to
!fly, that, that the factions had chosen the spot be-
vellitie it was near the Bank of France. Misled
young men, united with the malefactors, were to
come by the street des Bons Ealing, to plunder the
Bank. (A cry of indignation on the I,:ft, a great
slumber of voices exclaiming it is an atrocious ca-
lumny." A silence of disapprotration on the left.)
The Premident declared to M. Dudon, that the
facts he stated not being in evidence could not be
brpught tbrward to rectify the proses 1,2r6a1. lie
told M. Dudon that he could speak no longer. and
that the proof,* whirl should be put to the vote.
M. Dudon again attempted to speak ; but a hun-
dred angry voices drowned his words, and he re-
turned to his seat, where he did not scent to receive
many cunaratulutions from his hon. friends.

T he proms venial bcitiL, approved, the debate on
the public accounts wars then continued, and the
finalter discussion adjourned till Monday.
Nuts, lAncit 4 —l3efore and after mass yester-
ddy, there was a levee at the Palace. The digni-
taries of the kingdom, the ministers secretaries of
state, the marshals, many peers, deputies, generals,
public functionaries, and superior officers, came to
pay their court to the King. Among the persons
admitted, we remarked Prince Talleyraud and the
Duke de Cases.

because ordinance of the 6th of March, 1815,
had given commands to pursue (courir sus a)

with civil death, and consequently incapable of mak-

"Count Torreno, is arrived at Paris. This even-
ing the preaching of the Missionaries began at half-
past five in the churches of Les Petits Peres, Saint
Eustachc, and Nt.tre Dame de Bonne Nouvelle.—
No troops were stationed in the Place des Victuires,
nor in the adjacent streets; the police duty in the
three churches was done, as usual, by the Royal
gendarmerie. The greatest order prevailed ; how-
ever, after the church of Petits Peres was closed,
some hissing and hooting was heard in the Rue du
Mail; a patrol of gendarmerie immediately repaired
thither, and a young man, it is mid, was arrested.
To-morrow the preaching of the missionaries will
begin ut five o'clock.
L'ami de la Charte of Nantes says, that there
have been found in the various parts of the city,
printed couplets against the family of the Bourbons.
Many copies of this criminal performance are in the
hands of the authorities, who have ordered the ne-
cessary search to be made. The police has paid a
visit to the printer of this journal. M. V. Mangin,

In the night of the .26th the house of M. Felix

entered fur the purpose of arresting him; but he
was not found. A search was made, the result of
which is not known.

CHAMIIER OF PEERi, MARC!! I.

The debate in the law relative to the press was
continued, of which articles Sto inclusive were
adopted. Some amendments proposed were re-
jected.

By the Imperial 3les.'ean Gazette of the 27th of
November, and letters of the 17th of December from
Vera Cruz, it appears by the latter, contrary to the
statements recently nude in the Charleston papers,
that Gen. Davila still held pozession of the castle
of St. Juan de Ulloa, and that he refused to sur-
render it until orders should arrive from Spain furl
that purpose. One of the members of the regency at
Mexico had visited the castle, and had a long con-
ference with Gen. Davila, with the view of inducing
him to change his resolution, but without effect,—
The Gq.:elte, which is official, is chiefly occupied
with the arrangements for electing the members of
the new Cortex, in conformity with the treaty of
Cordova Uolilse the Cortes of Spaia, it is proposed
to divide the legislative body into an upper and lower
boos; to whom is to be assigned the task of pre-
paring laws calculated to produce security und pros-
perity to the empire. The elections for the difii:rent
provinces were expected to be completed on the 13th
February, and that the Cones would be installed
on the 21th of that month. The Gametic for the
convocation of the Cortes also centains an address to
the people on that occasion by the General in Chief,
Iturbide. In this he not only disclaims all views of
personal ambition, but desires simply to be considered
as a citizen. " Fur myself," Bays the General, "

national Congress shall be installed, that 1 may pre-
sent myself as a simple citizen in this sanctoury of

of the House of Commons (which, be it remembered,
cannot in their nature be imperative upon by dis-
senting a ithin the time prescribed, will be punished by
having Ms Five per Cents. converted into Foist per Cents.
and this by au ex post facto law, the most inequitable of
all enactments, itlasintich as it exacts obedience to a law

combine to rise. Why, then, it may be asked, if he
