FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the National of Sunday.)
NEWS FROM LYONS.

IntelligencefoWardeCitOtl;4O;eTriment by the
same source as that of Yestxrday, and which arrived
by the mail, having left Lyons on the 23d, at two
o'clock, announces what we are most anxious to
communicate—namely, that the fighting is over.
General Roguct, who, after leaving the :olei de
Ville, retired along the 'Quay of 74,t. Clair, as he
WaS lent for on the 23d, at live in the morning, pro-
ceeded to take hiz station at the fortificaticn o 7
Montesny, with the General and stiefihr officers.
and ail the troops of the garison. The Prefect re-
mained, with the r!uhicipality, at t}ie Hotel of the
Prefecture.

It appears that the efforts of the authori+iat were
insufficient to prevent the pillage t:-.-hiCh took place
at certain houses, patticY:larly at the house called
" Oriel," 'was inhabited by a number of the
silk-rnerenatits. This house was entirely destroyed,
and the goods taken out of it were burnt on the
quay. Other threats of pillage were uttered, par-
ticularly in the quarter where business is carried on.
The mails from I/aris and Marseilles arrived on
the 22d, It was hoped that the free despatching of
couriers on the different routes would be resnired on
the 24th.

On the departure of tift., mail by which this letter
was brought, *counts were received that the troops
under General Roguet, and whose zeal and disci-
pline are worthy of the highest praise, had marched
from Montesny upon Macon. This movement is
fortunately in the direction of that tiler' by the
Prince Royal and the Minister -of War, who have
gone on the road to Burgundy, and who can concen-
trate in thtt point the corps of troops arriving from
various points.
it is sincerely hoped that the feelings excited in
all the inhabitants by those deplorable scenes will
open their eyes, and convince them of the wicked
designs of those whom they have been led away,
and whose atrocious attempts seem now to be ar-
resvert. The measures adopted by the Government
will ensure the restoration of perfect tranquillity.

The frankness of the communications made to-
day by the President of the Council to the two
Chambers, and their eagerness to correspond with
the confidence of the King, must show the enemies
of order that they have nothing to expect from weak-
tress or hesitation on the part of Government. This
sitting will cause a re-action amongst that portion of
the inhabitants of Lyons which has been so shatrie-
fully led astray.
Such excesses will, we have no doubt, exhibit to
the eyes of all good citizens the true spirit of these
disturbances, which terrify society, but of which the
Government is not afraid. We therefore hope soon
to have the pleasure of communicating more satis-
factory and decisive intelligence from the above
quarter.
It was stated this evening that the Moniteur of
to•morrow would contain ordinances directing the
removal of all the authorities of Lyons, and the dis-
banding of the Lyonnaise National Guard.

GENERAL FAST.

Sir W. INGILBY presented a petition from s place in
Lincolnshire, praying that the House would be pleased to
implore his Majesty that he would graciously direct a day
to be set apart for a General Fast, on account of the dis-
tressed state of the country.—(Great laughter.)
. _

. ,
Mr. DUNCOMBE presented a similar petition from a
place in Yorkshire.—(A laugh.)
Mr. PHILLPOTTS presented a petition from Glou-
cester, praying for a reduction of taxation, and an abate-
ment of expenditure.

Mr. Alderman WINCHESTER presented a petition
from the ward of Vintry, praying for the repeal of the six-
shilling duty on seals carried coastwise. In presenting
the petition, he begged to state that he understood that as
his Majesty's Ministers had it in contemplation to take the
subject into consideration, it was unnecessary for him to
say more on the subject than to observe that the peti-
tioners, in preferring their petition, did it not with a
view to embarrass his Majesty's Government, or to do any
thing that might interfere with the financial credit of the
country.

CRESSET PELHAM would take that opportu-
tunity of asking the Hon. Baronet opposite (Sir T. Ack-
land) whether he had any intention of postponing his mo-
tion respecting a repeal of the duty on coals.
Sir T. ACKLAND was understood to reply that he
would not consent to a postponement beyond the Bth of
March.

Mr. P. GURNEY presented a petition from Norwich,
praying for a repeal of the Assessed Taxes.
Alderman WAITHMAN had intended to bring the
subject under the consideration of the House, but trusted
the present Government would be so convinced of the
necessity of the reduction as to save him the trouble of a
motion. The Worthy Alderman then presented a petition
from the Ward of Farringdon Without, praying for
Reform, in doing which, lie said, whatever opi
nion might have been entertained by some of the
inhabitants, he believed they were notv one and all con-
vinced of the necessity of Reform. He himself was
favourable to election by ballot.
Mr. HUNT, as a Liveryman of London, wished to
address a few words to the House on the subject of
this petition. He was glad to bear that the Worthy
Alderman had at length become a convert, and
was willing to support election by ballot. If that
system had been adopted in his own ward, lie would at the
present time have had different associates.—(Laughter.)
He (Mr. Hunt) was happy to find that the ballot
was getting into fashion.—(Loud cries of " No, no," from,

Its population and agricultural improvements are progress•

kingdom. In conclusion, I beg to add, that it appears to
me, that the vote by ballot is best calculated to secure the
purity of election. _

TO THE _EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—In your Paper of the 31st of January you say
that " the people of Bristol have set a noble example to
countrymenin the West of England, which you
will be duly appreciated and acted upon."
NFORr, ENGLAND needed
Sir, you may not be aware, that the WEST
O
have
their
no
doubt
needed not the tardy " example" of the
E
CITY OF BRISTOL to instruct it in its duty. During the
last twenty years (in times, when Reformers were much
more rare, and much less popular than now, in this
eleventh hour,) the counties of Devon and Cornwall
have repeatedly assembled to raise their voices against
the abominations of the borough system. In Cornwall,--
despite all its boroughs and borough proprietors—there
have been not less than ten COUNTY MEETINGS within that
period, at all of which petitions have been carried (in
many instances, unanimously) for a Reform in the repre-
sentation of the people.
In mercy, therefore, in common justice, Sir, spare the
freemen of Devonshire and Cornwall from the mor-
tification of being supposed to follow in the train
of the supporters of Baillie and Hart Davies,--lof the men
who, only five months ago, rejected Mr. Protiieroe for no
other reason than because, in common with other Chris-
tians, he had expressed his hostility to the present system
of West India slavery !
I remain, Sir,
Your constant reader and friend,
A FREEHOLDER OF THE WEST.

P.S. The last meeting of the county of Cornwall to
petition for Reform was held at 13odinin on the 19th of
January—the first meeting at Bristol was on the 21st day
of the tonic month. Feb. 2, 1831.

fWe insert this letter as an act of justice to our corre-
dpoadent, who, however, is under an error if he supposes
we ever intended to throw a slur on the activity of the
West of England in the cause of Reform. Such an idea
never entered our minds for an instant.)—En.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—In your Paper of Wednesday evening, under the head
" Insolvent Debtors' Court," it is stated, amongst other things,
that the average casts incurred by each insolvent in obtaining
his discharge amounts to 251.—this is a mistake—a great number
do not incur an expence exceeding 4/. or 51.—more than half of
them do not exceed 10/. and a very few, indeed, exceed 201. or
251.—50 that instead of the average being2sl., it does not amount
to more than 101. or 121.

It is also stated that the Commissioners' salaries amount to
11,0001. Now the fact is, that instead of 11,0001., the salaries of
the four Commissioners do not exceed 6,5001.,. and the whole
expence of the establishment, including traveling expences of
the Commissioners and Officers of the Court, &c. &c. does not
amount to more than about 11,0001., which is probably what you
meant to convey, though you, in error, call it the salaries of the
Commissioners.

That the above is perfectly well known to be correct by Mr.
Hume and other Members of the House of Commons, I have no
doubt, but the public generally is not so well informed upon the
subject. I therefore think you will but be doing justice in con-
tradicting your previous statement, when you shall have ascer-
tained that my information is correct.

Your obedient servant,

in favour of Reform. The Honourable Member said
as this was the first petition which he had had the honour
to present from the county he represented, he hoped he

been an advocate for Reform. He had long been
pledged to that measure, and rejoiced that the country
had now a Ministry honest and bold enough to bring it
forward. They should have his hearty support. He was not
an advocate for annual Parliaments or universal suffrage,
but Ile wished for such a Reform as would tend to the
benefit of all.

in the vicinity of Reigate, praying for a repeal of the

tension of the right of voting to householders generally :
and it being bis intention to support such an extension, as
it will materially affect their privileges as electors, he an-
nounces to them that if he should find, in advocating the
measure, he is acting at variance with the opinions of a
majority of his constituents, he will take the earliest
opportunity of enabling them to elect some other repre-
sentative, whose opinions may be more in unison with
their's.— Carlisle _Patriot.

epistles, are, in most cases, of great interest.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, FEBRUARY 4.

The SPEAKER took the Chair precisely at Three o'clock;
when several new Members took the oaths and their seats.
Several private Bills were brought in and read a first
time.

Sir J. NEWPORT presented a petition from the Cham-
ber of Commerce at Waterford, praying for a repeal of the
duty on sea-borne coals. The Right Honourable
Member then presented another petition from the same
place, signed by 400 persons who were present at a meet-
ing convened by the Mayor, for the purpose of petitioning
for a Reform in Parliament and vote by ballot. He
(Sir J. Newport) fully concurred in the propriety of Re-
form ; he had been of that opinion from the first day he
took bis seat in the House, and every succeeding day had
confirmed his opinion of the absolute necessity of the
measure; for, he would say, unless it were carried,
the country could not expect to derive any real benefit.
With respect to the vote by ballot, he would not say that
he was decidedly opposed to it, but he must confess that
he had not made up his mind as to its propriety.
The petition was brought up and read,
On moving that it be printed, the Right Hon. Baronet
stated that in a few days he should have to present a simi-
lar petition from the corporation of Waterford under its
seal, which would show that in the city which he had the
honour to represent there existed no difference of opinion
on this important subjeet.—The petition was ordered to
be printed.
Mr. LITTLETON presented a petition from Walsall,

Staffordshire, praying for reduction of taxation generally,
but more particularly for the reduction of the duty
on newspaper stamps, and also for an extensive plan of
Reform and retrenchment. The Hon. Member said the
petition had his most hearty support, particularly that part
of it which prayed for a reduction of the stamps on
newspapers, as that was the only medium through which
the people could derive information.
Mr. HART DAVIS presented a petition from Bris-
tol, praying for a reduction on sea-borne coals; and
another for the abolition of slavery.

BRIGHTON, FEB. 4.

Their Majesties gave a splendid juvenile ball last night at the
Pavilion, at which 414 persons were present. The interest ex.
cited by this entertainment, amongst the younger branches of so-
ciety, has not been less ardent than the grand ball on Friday last
generally produced. Most of the Nobility and Gentry of Brighton
were present with the families. The entertainment was con-
ducted on the same scale of splendour and magnificence as on the
last occasion. The suite of state rooms were brilliantly illumi-
nated. The floor of the ball-room (the grand music room) was
chalked ; a temporary orchestra was erected, and covered with
crimson cloth.

The music was under the directicn of Ourie. The dancing
under Mr. Michen.

The company began to arrive at seven o'clock, and about eight
their Majesties, accompanied by the Duke of Sussex, the Land-
gravine of Hesse Homburg, the Princess Augusta, the Duchess
of Cumberland, Prince George of Cumberland, Prince George
of Cambridge, the Duke of Devonshire, as Lord Chamberlain,
Lord Howe, ir Andrew Barnard, and a numerous suite, pro-
ceeded to the ball room, when dancing immediately commenced,
and was kept up with unbounded spirit until twelve o'clock,
when their Majesties, &c., retired to the banqueting room, where
a superb supper was served. After which, dancing was re-
sumed for some time. Their Majesties withdrew at one o'clock.
At two the Pavilion was closed, the company having all departed
by that hour.
Their Majesties' condescending kindness and urbanity is the
theme of every one. Long will the people of Brighton have to
bless her, and our gracious King William, who with the dignity
of the Monarch combines themost gentle manners anddisposition.
The trade of Brighton has received an impulse by the brilliant
round of entertainments which have taken place at the Palace,
and where, on all occasions, the protection afforded to native
manufacture and produce:has been most sedulously attended to by
their Majesties. _ _

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland took his de-
parture from the Pavilion yesterday.
The Duke of Sussex is considerably relieved from his late cold.
Their Majesties' dinner party yesterday was quite select, and
was served up at five o'clock.
Lord Hill has arrived.

THE GARRICK CORRESPONDENCE.—The
GAititicK club, it is believed, owes its institution prin-
cipally to this most interesting and important publication.
It this admirable volume had comprised, instead of its
numerous and varied merits, no other than that of showing
the pitch of credit, wealth, respectability, and influence
to which an actor may raise himself by his own unassisted
exertions, and had thus contributed to dissipate an unwise
and too common prejudice against actors in general,—
we should have hailed it as a real boon to the public.

INTELLtoEscu—(rins DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.

EX-PA RTE DES rItES.

This matter has been several times before the Com t
lately in a piecemeal sort of manner.
Mr. LOVEDAY, a b irrister, who has appeared on beha4
of the p arty applying, has often professed himself to he
ignorant of the practice, and that the mention of this matter
a few days ago had afforded him the first opportunity
he had ever had of addressing the Court. The applica-
tion he made was on behalf of Mr. Despres, that his Lord-
ship would be pleased to order the discharge of that
gentleman, who had been arrested in Stone-buildings, at
the suit of a Mr. Sots, for 6501. alleged to have been lent
to Mr. Despres by Mr. Soh. The arrest was made
while Mr. Despres was returning from having made an
irregular application in person to his Lordship, for
the purpose of being allowed to prosecute a claim
in bankruptcy in forma pauperis ; and the ground
of suing for the order for
.the discharge was rcdeundo
from the Court. It appeared from the affidavits that
were read yesterday, that Mr. Loveday was an interested
party, and that he had been interfering in such a manner
out of Court as to make his Lordship think it right to order
the matter to stand over till Mr. Loveday had made
an affidavit ; and also that Mr. Despres might amend his
affidavit if he thought proper.
Sir E. SUDDEN appeared against the application.
When the matter was called on to-day,
Mr. LOVEDAY said he wished his Lordship to order
where the affidavits should be filed, as be had not been
able to ascertain.
The LORD CHANCELLOR observed that he could not
sit from day to day to direct what should be done. He
had directed sufficiently yesterday.
Mr. LOVEDAY said his client only wished the Court
to order the appointment of a solicitor for him, and then
many irregularities would be avoided.
The LORD CHANCELLOR could not do that, until Mr.
Despres had put himself in a situation to entitle him to
have such an appointment made. It was necessary for
him to make an affidavit that he was not worth 5/., and
also to produce the certificate of a barrister that be had
merits in his case.
Mr. LOVEDAY said all that had been done.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—From whom has he got the
certificate ?
Mr. LOYEDAY—From myself, my Lord.
The LORD CHANCELLOR--Bolt I won't allow that.
You yourself are a party interested? Are there no more
Counsel than you?
Mr. LOVEDAYI don't know.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—WeII, but I can tell you
there is no gentleman at the bar who will refuse to look
at his case ; and further, I won't allow any Counsel to
get up day after slay, and speak by way of gossip.
Mr. LOVEDAY.—My Lord, I must say a word on the
subject of a retainer.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—I shall not hear you, Sir.
If you act rightly in your profession you need never speak
about retainers. The Court of Chancery sits to hear
causes, and nothing of this kind. lam too good-natured
with you ; but I will positively hear no more. Call the
paper, Mr. Registrar.
The Registrar called on the first appeal in the paper,
and Mr. Loveday rose and walked off.
