SITTING OF OCT. 15.

The sitting opened at noon. The proces-verbal was
read and adopted.
A petition prayed that the Colonies should have Repre-
sentatives in the Chambers.

Boyer observed that this petition was supported by
the incontrovertible principle that all persons should have
a share in waking the laws under which they are governed.
A great amelioration, he contended, is necessary in all the
colonial system of France.
M. Toupeau de Beauveau maintained that the national
representation was a matter of common tight. There is
no positive exclusion in the Charter—consequently noth-
ing to prevent the colonies from being represented. On
the contrary, the Charter extends the right to all. Ile
moved that this petition should be consigned to the Mi-
nister of Marine.

M. Davis opposed this motion. )'low could a Deputy
ha sent from Guadaloupe to Paris? It would take six
months to make the voyage, and after his arrival his
election might he contested. The Member for Guada-
loupe could only arrive at the end of the session.
The order of the day was agreed to.
After some discussion on the right of the Peers to
make any change in a Money Bill,
The President put the question on the six articles of the
law for the Budget of 1831.
There was no open opposition. A secret scrutiny was
called for, when the numbers were—

Our correspondent at Toul does not lose sight of the
Grand Duchy of the Rhine, occupied by a numerous army
belongin; to the King of Prussia. The corps de reserve
has not been sent home, as had been announced, and it
Lppears that it is ❑ot likely to return for some time. The
first division of the Landwehr has just received orders to
march. The 29th regiment expects every day a detach-
ment of 400 men, part of 1,000 which are to arrive in
three corps.
It is atlirtned that General Dwernicki, brother-in-law
of General Maraud, has quitted Austria, and will shortly
arrive in France. He is expected at Besangon.
A Royal decree, inserted in the Madrid Official Gazette
of Oct. 3, contains an order for establishing two lazarettos
at the foot of the Pyrenees.

PARIS, OCT. 15.

(PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.)
Our istelligence from Poland continues to be of the same
character, a series of accounts representing the capture or
flight of all that remained of the heroic army, which, but
for the treason of Krukowiecki, would have annihilated
that of Russia under the walls of Warsaw.
Austria presents an appearance of tranquillity. The
cholera still ragesin Vienna, while the Emperor and family
assume a more than usually cheerful demeanour. Fur-
loughs are granted to some of the soldiery in the into ier,
while in Venice immense magazines of the materiel for
war are accumulating. Thus Italy is " cared for."
The army of Prussia in the Rhenish provinces is im-
mensely increased, and reports of new difficulties started by
the King of Holland are in circulation to-day. The French
army on the northern frontiers is hourly increasing, and
the Journals of this day assert that, in consequence of a
telegraphic despatch received yesterday, Marshal Gerard
left town last night for Maubeuge, whence he only arrived
four days since.
I have little doubt that the tranquil air of Austria is as-
sumed—that the armies of Prussia are in the very hist
possible state of equipment and readiness—that the King of
Holland is making the beat bargain possible ; and I know
that the French army on the northern frontier has been
increase.% but I am pretty sure that there exists not at this
moment a probability of war respecting the affairs of Bel-
gium. I can assure you that the rumoured departure of
Marshal Gerard for the army is false.
Ministers have succeeded in defeating the amendments of
tlieprrjet respecting the Peerage, by which the Opposition
sought to limit the selection of Peers by the King. The
principal one, that of M. Merilhou, was, as you will have
known, rejected on Thursday evening by a majority of
fifty-eight. In revenge of M. Merilhou's opposition,
another amendment was insidiously proposed yesterday
by M. His for excluding from the persons eligible to
the Peerage Cabinet Ministers who had not been in
office for at least twelve months. This amendment
was proposed with a special reference to M. Merilhou,
hut, being unsupported by Ministers, fell to the ground.
Te-day the question whether or not the Peers shall be
consulted on the measure for annulling their hereditary
privilege will commence. They will be allowed to
participate in the arrangement of the affair, and will, I
suppose, emulate their noble cotemporaries of England
by refusing concurrence in a measure carried by an int-
'Lenge majority of the representatives of the people, and
one which (right or wrong) is in unison with the wishes
of the great body of the nation. A schism will thence
occur between those two branches of the Legislature ; but
if so, the difficulty will be obviated by another projet, in
the adoption of which by the Deputies the concurrence of
their Lordships will be dispensed with, and thus will the
hereditary Peerage be abolished.
The excitement respecting the affairs of England cape-
rienctai here during several days of this week begins to
subside. All parties believe they can foresee to your
struggle for Reform a moat lame and impotent conclusion.
The men of the " movement," in particular, look for such
a denouement. "It will be," say they, " like our revo-
lution, frittered away until in the eyes of legitimacy and
aristocracy ,it shall have assumed a most harmless and in-
offensive character. It will then be cairied, and the Eng-
lish people will he asked, as we are, what would ye more?"
1 could, had I time, enumerate other observations, but
of a similar tendency ; I shall, however, add only respect.
ing this subject, that all classes of persons here are fully
convinced that the outrages committed by the mob in Eng-
land have been (like the late emeutes in Paris) gotten up
by the enemies of liberty. In this conviction 1 sympa-
thise--I also rejoice in it, because it removes from the
cause of Reform, and, indeed, from the national charac•
ter, as otherwise indelible stain.

Paris is tranquil, but the public mind is not at ease.—
The returns of the revenue for the quarter ending the
BOth tilt., have just been published, showing an excess of
for
1,800,000 francs over the receipt the corresponding
quarter of last year. On this apparent improvement the
AI suisterial Journals speak with vast
complacency;
omit-
ting, however, to remark, that in the first month
of the
corresponding quarter of Ib3o occurred the revolution.
The Chamber of Peers are following a course, respecting
the law for recognising the promotions made by Nu
poleou during the hundred days, little likely to add to
the very small stock of popularity of which they are
in the enjoyment. I mean not to advocate Bona.
partism ; but I regret that the Government displays such
morbid sensibility on every thing tending to renew or per-
petuate feelings of respect or gratitude for that unques•
tionably great man.

Three o'clock.

The Chamber of Deputies has not yet proceeded to the
garage question. They are determined, however, to

close the discussion, if possible, this bight ; if not, they
will sit to-morrow. Such, at least, is their present the
termination.

The trifling fall that has taken place in the Funds to-
day is attributed to the adoption of M. Moshourg's amend-
ment in the Peerage Law yesterday. M. Mosbourg hay-
ing been Minister of Finance to the unfortunate Joachim

( Murat), the stock-jobbers have thence indulged in ai'
4orts of speculations upon the growing strength of the
Bonapartists. Here you have a specimen of the flimsy
materials of which French stock-jobbing is composed.
