FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE.
(From the French Papers of Sunday.)
The Deputies met yesterday at 12 o'clock in the stand-
ing committees, to name the committee on the address in
reply to the Speech from the Throne. From 36 to 40
Deputies were present in each of the standing committees.
The discussion which took place on the Spanish question
was extremely warm, and the sitting was prolonged to a late
hour in most of the bureaux, especially in the 6th, in which
it was adjourned only at 5 o'clock. M. Hebert, a Ministe-
rialist, was named in the first bureau, by a majority of 26
to 10. The Opposition candidate was M. de Schonen. In
the second standing committee, M. Thil was named by a
majority of 22 to 18 votes, obtained by M. Viennet. In
the third bureau, M. Piscatory was named by a majority of
28 to 13. In the fourth bureau, M. Herue obtained 27
votes, and his opponent, M. Ganneron, only 17. In the
fifth bureau, M. Calmon obtained the day by a majority of
24 to 17. In the sixth, M. Thiers was chosen by 20 out
of 39 votes. In the seventh, M. Wurtemberg obtained a
majority of 23 to 19. In the eighth, M. St. Marc Girardin
was named by 23 out of 33 votes. In the ninth bureau,
M. Jacqueminot was named by a majority of 24 to 21. It
thus appears that the total number of Deputies who at-
tended the sitting amounted to 361 ; of these 208 are
Ministerialists, and the rest belong to the different fractions
of the Opposition.
The disposition of Meunier in his prison appears to be
changeable. Yesterday he took breakfast in good spirits,
arousing himself by humming a waltz. The prisoner was
examined yesterday with the greatest care by the Duke de
Cazes himself, who, however, abstained from addressing a
single worZ to the assassin.
The following intelligence from Lisbon of the 17th ult.,
is contained in the Espanol :—" Money has become so
extremely scarce, that even the grants to the Queen and
Royal Family will not be paid at the end of the month,
without great difficulty. Five months' arrears are due to
the troops and many of the Government officers. The ge-
neral discontent naturally increases every day. The soi-
disant Constitutionalists of 1822, whenever they meet the
Queen and the Prince, treat them with an air of disdain,
and the most violent refuse even to pay them the ordinary
marks of respect by taking off their hats. The rest of the
people, according to custom, salute them with the greatest
attention. All the efforts of the Government have failed
in inducing several of the battalions of the National Guard
to comply with the new regulations. The Civil Governor
wished to address them, but was forced to withdraw. The
Government is, in fact, almost without power or authority.
The French squadron sails to-morrow, but the English
ships of war will remain till the opening of the Session, in
order to see what complexion affairs will then assume."
The following, dated Frontiers of Italy, 19th ult., is
given by the Augsburgli Gazette :—" The Sardinian Go-
vernment is said to be engaged in serious deliberations
upon the reprisals to be made upon Spain, in consequence of
the Cabinet of Madrid having sent all the Sardinian Con-
suls out of that kingdom."
The proposal for a provision for the Duke de Nemours
was only adopted a few days before the session, and subse-
quently to the unfavourable news from Constantine. The
original idea was of a different complexion. Had the ex-
pedition succeeded, the Duke de Nemours would have
been appointed Viceroy of Africa, with an allowance of
500,000 francs ; to the above title would have been ap-
pended the possession of the splendid chateau of Ram-
bouillet, which as a matter of form is under the administra-
tion of Crown lands. The untoward result of the expe-
dition has frustrated the accomplishment of this project ;
the Government has not dared to establish a viceroyalty
in a place the possession of which is disputed ; and on the
eve of demanding 10,000,000 of supplementary credit for
a second expedition to Constantine, it would have been al-
most impossible to have tacked to it a sinecure of half-a-
million.

The marriage portion for the Queen of the Belgians is
now a matter which belongs to the civil list ; a large por-
tion of this sum has already been paid to King Leopold,
and it is only a reimbursement which is required, for no-
thing is neglected by the civil list. It is said that the pro-
visions for the King's youngest sons will be fixed at
600,000 francs, and that they are to be entitled to it at
the age of 18, and that this will require an application to
the Chambers on the part of the Duke d'Aumale in the
course of next year.

REVOLUTION IN PERU.

SECESSION OF THE SOUTHERN STATES.
___ .

We have received accounts from South Peru. They give
the solemn declaration of the independence of that new
State, which is as follows :

The Assembly of South Peru, in the name of the
Departments of Arequipa, Ayacucho, Cuzco, and Puno,
decree :

" 1. That by long and painful experience the people of
South have acquired the conviction that their association
with those of the North, under one Government, renders
difficult, if not impossible, their organisation, and, in conse-
quence, is an obstacle to the public prosperity, which essen-
tially depends on the form of the Government.
•' 2. That the revolutions of which Peru has been the
victim prove this union to have been forced ; and the
people of the south, as well as those of the north, are re-
duced to seek their security by the only means likely to
obtain it, and which are indicated in the proclamation of
his Excellency the President of Peru, which he has been
induced to publish by the most grave and just considera-
tions, not less than by the unanimous voice of the people of
the south.

" 3. That the Gavernmcnts of Peru and of Bolivia are
engaged by the treaty concluded at Paz on the 15th of
June, and solemnly ratified on the 24th of the same month,
to respect, accomplish, and guarantee the deliberations of
the Assembly convoked by the decree of the 26th of June,
1835, and that his Excellency the Provisional President of
Peru did in consequence, by his message of the 7th of De-
cember, 1835, remit to this Assembly the powers with
which he had been invested by the Department.
" 4. That his Excellency the Captain-General, President
of Bolivia and Superior Chief of the United Army, Andre
Santa Cruz, has engaged, in the name of the nation, by the
declaration published at Puno on the Ist of July, 1835, to
guarantee the resolutions of the Assembly.
"5. That Bolivia, by the organ of her Congress, and by
the same declaration of Puno, is engaged to unite by the
ties of confederation, with the two estates of North and
South Peru.

" 6. That the memorable victories gained by the united
armies in the plains of Yunacocha, Ananta, Camaracas,
Callao, Graamandal, and Socobaya, in restoring peace and
repose to Peru, has admitted the people to make known
by the means of their legitimate representatives the ex-
pression of their views, conformable to their interests.
" It is therefore solemnly decreed—

" Art. 1. The departments of Arequiqa, Cuzco, and
Puno shall be free and independent, under the denomina-
the Soil,tv,. Perw;;ap State, and adopting for its Go-
vernment the popular representative form.
"2. The State of South Peru obliges itself, from this
moment, to conclude with the State which is formed in
the north, and with Bolivia, a federative compact, of which
the basis shall be arranged by a Congress of Plenipoten-
tiaries, named by each of the three States which are to
form the grand confederation.

" 3. The exercise of all public authority of the State is
confided to his Excellency the Captain-General, Superior
Chief of the United Army, Andre Santa Cruz, under the
title of Supreme Protector of the South Peruvian State.
" 4. The Protector of the South Peruvian State will
invite the other States to become a part of the above con-
federation, and will employ all proper means to assure per-
fection in the organization, in a manner conformable to the
wishes of thepeople.

" .5. The Protector of the State, immediately when, ac-
cording to his judgment, circumstances will permit it, will
convoke a Congress, constituted in a definitive manner by
the country.
" In faith of this, we, the representatives of four de-
partments, give and sign, in their names and our own, the
present declaration, &c.
(Signed)

" DON NICOLAS DE PIRROLA,
" JOSE MARIE ANNE DE COSE,
" CESAR TARGAS,
" And eighteen other names, among which is that of

Jean Casonia, deputy for Arequipa."

SIR ROBERT PEEL—The following fudge is
from the Glasgow Herald, a Tory paper :—" We understand
that the address which the operatives of Glasgow intend to
present to Sir Robert Peel on his arrival is in course of
rapid signature ;—in fact, that the greatest devotion to the
Constitution, and its most eminent living supporter, Sir Ro-
bert Peel, has been very decidedly manifested in quarters
where it has been somewhat the fashion of late to allege
that no feeling of the kind did exist. It is rumoured also,
that, as the majority of our Councillors declined to confer
the freedom of the City on the above distinguished states-
man, the tradesmen intend, us far as in them lies, to wipe
away this stain on our courtesy, and to present Sir Robert
with a burgess ticket themselves, not in a tin case, as is
the practice of the Corporation, but in a handsome gold or
silver box. There may be some difference of opinion yu
the point, but we should imagine that the ur .I.'aus con-
fgSt: or Liteen hundred of our respec-
t 1 be as gratifying to Sir Robert Peel

ROYAL FAMILY OF HANOVER.

HANOVER, DEC. 24.—The Hanoverian Gazette pub-
lishes the following :
" ROYAL FAMILY LAW FOR THE KINGDOM OF HANOVER.
" We, William IV., &C., &C., considering that since
the dissolution of the Constitution of the German Em-
pire the essentially altered relations of the members of
the German reigning houses to their head and now their
Sovereign requires to be more accurately defined—consi-
dering further that the new arrangements in the provin-
cial department, in consequence of the introduction of the
Constitution into our kingdom of Hanover, require a re-
vision of the law relative to the apanages, because this,
with other important regulations, seems to be especially in-
dispensable for the contingency of a separation of the
Crown of Hanover from that of Great Britain—have re-
solved, after a previous careful examination of the pre-
ceding family conventions, and upon their bases, to issue
a new Royal Family law ; to abolish in it absolute or-
dinances, paying due regard to what is still applicable ; to
substitute new regulations in their room ; and in general to
prevent all future doubts and mistakes. We, therefore, and
this so far as our Serene House is collectively concerned,
in concert with his Serene Highness the Duke of Bruns-
wick, and with respect to the points calculated for the co-
operation of the Estates, with the assent of our faithful
Estate of the kingdom of Hanover, ordain as follows :
CHAPTER I.—OF THE ROYAL FAMILY, ITS HEAD, AND ITS
