insertions likewise of facts and events at home
or abroad, of speeches delivered in other coun-

documents of different Governmerts, when
unaccompanied by any remarks of the,,Editor.
This article was rejected, as were also that of
M. HUMBLOT.ZONTE, which proposed that the
suspension or suppression of a Journal or Perio-
dical Writing should only be pronounced when
three-fourths of the Judges concurred in the sen-
tence—that of M. de LAMETII, which reduced
the majority to two-thirds—that of M. LAISNE
DE VILLEVEQUE, which required that the majo-
rity should consist of two more than the half—

and that of M. MANUEL,. proposing that the
Councillors destined to decide on the demand
for the suspension or suppression of a Journal
should be chosen by ballot. The 4th article
was then read, which authorizes the revival of
the Censorship in cases of urgent necessity, by a
Royal ordinance in Council. General FOY pro-
posed an amendment which provided against the
duration of the ordinance beyond a month, which
was, after a long debate, rejected. M. COURVOI-
SIER then proposed another amendment, which
put an end to the operation of this article at the
close of the Session of 1825 ; the discussion of this
amendment was adjourned to the following day.
A letter from Kischenow, in Bessarabia, dated
the Bth of January, stAtes that the Russian
army is concentrating its divisions in that pro-
vince more and more; and that all the mili-

tart' movements indicate the' approaching com-
mencement of hostilities. Besides the Russian
troops, there are about 10,000 Greeks in Bessa-
rabia, who are to be formed into a Greek pha-
lanx in the event of war. They are now sub-
sisted by the public subscriptions opened through-
out the Russian empire in their behalf, patronised
by the Government. There are a number of
Greek families now at Marseilles, whose situation
has excited the most lively interest. They are
followed in the public promenades, and the
young females bring to recollection the costume
of the Spartan ladies. Letters from the frontiers
of Italy, of the Ist instant, mention the arrival of
a Greek squadron off the Dardanelles.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.—Mr. WOODSON
submitted the following Resolution for considera-
tion :

" Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representatives of
the United States of America, in Congress assembled, thitt • e
following Amendment to the Constitution of the Unit yes
be proposed to the Legislatures of the several States, which,
when ratified by the Legislatiftes of three-fourths of the States,
shall be valid as a part of said Constitution :—No person shall
be eligible to the office of President of the United States, from
and after the 4th day of March, 1826, who shall or may have
held or exercised any other office of honour, profit, or trust,
under the Government of the United States, oz any of its de-
partments, at any time within the four years next preceding his
election, or unless he shall have attained the age of forty-five
years."—This Resolve was ordered to be one day on the Table.

IRELAND.—The accounts this morning are
still unfavourable, though there are none that
deserve particular notice, except that a notice
has been posted at Kilflyn, ordering all the male
inhabitants of the adjoining parishes (who pro-
bably are to a man sworn), to be ready, at a
moment's warning, for a grand turn-out, which
was to take place in a few days. It seems, from
this notice or proclamation, that it is the inten-

tion of the insurgents to take the field in regular
array. The Cork, Kilkenny, Mayo, Westmeath,
Clare, and Kerry Papers,contain lists of outrages.

Yesterday a very numerous and respectable
Meeting of the Landowners and Agriculturists

of Surrey was held at Epsom, the High Sheriff
in the Chair, for the purpose of considering the

question of Parliamentary Reform. Arnongs
the assemblage we observed Lords KING, EL

LENBOROUGH, and EBRINGTON, Messrs. HOLIHE
SUMNER and DENISON (the Members for the
County), and Messrs. CALVERT, G. BENNETT,
WEBB, and WESTON. Mr. COBBETT was also
present. Mr. LEECH, of Leigh, opened the busi-
ness of the day, by proposing a Petition, com-
plaining of excessive taxation, and praying for a
reduction of taxes, and for Parliamentary Re-
form.
He strongly insisted upon the doctrine
that the agricultural distress was occasioned by
overwhelming taxation ; and ridiculed the idea
that relief could be obtained from the measures
of Ministers, or the reduction of a shilling
per bushel from the Malt Tax. Mr. 11.
TOWNSHEND seconded the Petition, and con-
curred with the Mover in the opinion that
the distress was occasioned by taxation, and
that it could only be relieved by reduction and
by the reform of Parliament. Lord KING followed
on the same side, and was frequently interrupted
by applause. Lord ELLENBOROUGH agreed that
the distress of the agriculturists was great and un-
exampled ; but he differed from the llon. Gen-
tleman who proposed the Petition, both as to the
cause of the distress and the mode of relief. He
thought that the distress was not attributable
either to taxation or to the alteration of the cur-

rency. If cash payments were. the cause of the
low price of corn, why, he would ask, had not
manufactures fallen in the same proportion? As
to taxes, in 1816,'eighteen millions of taxes had
been taken off at once ; and, instead of prosperity
following, it was well known that at no pe-
riod was distress so intolerable as during the
winter of 1816. Even if six or seven mil-
lions were taken off, and applied as a positive
bounty on produce, it would not raise the price
of a quarter of wheat more than five shillings.—
The Noble Lord also dissented from the opinion
that benefit would be derived from Parliamen-
tary Reform ; and moved as an amendment a
petition praying for relief; stating, that, in the
opinion of the petitioners, relief would not flow
from the present measures of Ministers ; and
further praying for such retrenchment as is con-
sistent with good faith to the public creditor, and
with the efficiency of our necessary establish-
ments and the prosperity of the State.—Mr.
TROWER regretted that the questions of Agri-
cultural Distress and Parliamentary Reform had
been mixed up together. He thought. that Mr.
PEEL'S Bill was not the cause of tl►e distress; and
attributed much of it to the late abundant har-
vests. In the course of his illustrations, he was
much interrupted by the Meeting ; and on stat-
ing that, in his opinion, the farmers had suffered
most by the taking off of those taxes which had
been repealed, he was fairly clamoured down.—
Mr. GREY BENNET supported and Mr. HOLME
S UMN ER, opposed the original Petition; the latter
chiefly on the ground that taxation was not the
cause of the distress.—Mr. TAUNTON and Mr.
MABERLEY supported the original Petition.—Mr.
LErcn replied to the arguments which had been
urged against it.—The High Sheriff then put the
question on the amendment which had been pro-
posed by Lord ELLENBO ROUGH, when only five
or six hands were raised in its favour.—The ori-
ginal Petition was th?ti carried without a dissen-
tient voice.—Mr. WESTON moved that the Peti-
tion► be presented by both the County Members.
This proposition was negatived, and the Petition
was directed to be presented by Mr. DENISON
alone.

A letter from Paris says----" If we may, judge
from the operations of our Bank here, French
industry would seem to be progressing onwards
in a very favourable manner. The amount of
capital discounted in 1820 was 254,000,000 francs
(equal to 10,160,0001. sterling) ; in the year now
passed the discounts were upon 84,600,000
francs (equal to 15,384,0001. sterling), being an
increase of more than 50 per cent. of capital, and
which being thrown into circulation, must neces-
sarily produce effects highly beneficial to trade.
A rich individual who was in the suite of BUONA-
PARTE, during his exile at St. Helena, has recently
purchased the beautiful estate of Crogny, near
Bar-upon-the-Seine. It has a superb chateau, and
a very extensive wood. The value of the whole
is computed at a million and a half .of francs—

about 60,0001. sterling. The Duchess of MONT-
FORT (the consort of JEROME BCONAPARTE) has
had the good luck to gain a cause that was
brought before the Tribunals of Paris. She reco-
vers by the verdict an estate worth 464,000
francs, nearly 20,0001. sterling. This ought
certainly to be regarded as an irrefragable proof
of the pure administration of the laws,-under the
sway of the benignant Prince who now sits upon
the throne. All eyes are directed to the process
now pending against Mr. JAMES LAFFITTE, the
Banker, and which was instituted by the execu-
tors, of the Ex-Emperor, to recover a heavy sum
of interest, accruing upon the monies deposited
with his house by the latter in 1815. It is

sought the action cannot be sustained, under a
ie circumstances."

BRIGHTON, FEB. 17.—Yesterday, hi; MAJES-
TY again took an airing, in an open Landau, pur-
suing the Lewes road, as on the former occasion,
and passing the Steyne to the route for Rotting-
dane, and thence, after a progress of a couple
of miles, turning and visiting the West Cliff, on
the latter. In consequence of the SOVEREIGN
appearing in public, all the equipiges of the town
and neighbourhood seemed in motion from one to
four o'clock, about which latter time his MAJES-
TY returned to the Palace.

There is no truth in the report that Lord
STEWART, of Wynyard, had declined subscribing
to the Larnbton Hunt, and interdicted them from
his grounds. His Lordship is anxious to encou-
rage the breed of pheasants ; and some trifling
limitation, in point of range, has in consequence
been made in a particular part of the estate.—
Owing to his Lordship's extensive purchases,
however, the Hunt have nearly double the range
that they had before—that is as far as his Lord-
ship's courtesy is concerned. It is really deserv-
ing of the strongest reprobation that so many
absurd reports should be propagated against one
of the most obliging and hospitable Landed' Pro-
prietors that thy.: County of Durham can boast of.
We are told, to be sure< that" envy (and con-
sequently calumny) is the tax a man pays for
being eminent."

• Yesterday, at three o'clock, the Right Wor-
shipful EDWARD NEWSOM, Mayor of• Cork, had
the honour of presenting to his Excellency the
LORD LIEUTENANT, at the Viceregal Lodge, in
the PhceniA. Park, a Congratulatory Address
from the inhabitants of that city, on his Excel-
lency': arrival in Ireland. The LORD LIEUTE-
NANT received the MAYOR in a manner the most
flattering, and, after expressing the satisfaction
which the Address afforded him, read the An-
swer.—(Dublin Correspondent, Feb. 16.)
LESLIES' BANK.—We have great pleasure in
stating, that the Banking House of Messrs. LES
LIES will resume Business in the course of a few
days.—(Cork Mercantile Chronicle.)
Owing to the unusual mildness of the winter
in Germany, it is supposed that a saving will he
made, in the article of fuel, of a million of dollars.
Mr. JAMES ROTHSCHILD is appointed ConSul
General for his Majesty the Emperor of AUSTRIA,
at Paris.

His Majesty the King of PRUSSIA has conferred

The officers of his Majesty's ship Impregnable, at Plymouth,
performed the play of 4 John Bull,' and the farce of Rom-
bastes Furioso,' in a very superior style, last Monday evening,
on board that ship, part of which, at considerable expense, was
very tastefully fitted up for the purpose. Nearly 200 ladies and
gentlemen were present. After the performance a ball and ele-
gant supper were given.

His MAJESTY continues to have Sacred Concerts performed
on Sunday evenings during his residence at Brighton. The
first performers are engaged for the purpose, and this sublime
enjoyment appears to have a benefical influence in diffusing a
due sense of religion throughout the inhabitants in general, as
well as on those who have the honour of being among the num-
ber of " bidden guests" at such gratifying solemnities.
THE CO tn.; rEss LIEVEN'S ASSEMBLY..--The Lady of his

BEA UT v.
Beauty May shine in splendour bright,
And ne'er create in me delight.

I've seen the eye of beauty blue,
And lips like rubies dipt in dew,
And locks in sunny radiance wreathing,
And forms like alabaster, breathing,
And felt that beauty never stole
A lasting fetter on the soul,
As lightning swift, and free as wind,
The mind alone can chain the mind.
It is not in the witchery
Of rosy lip or azure eye ;
Nor in the deeper sacrifice
Of cheeks abash'd, and whisper'd sighs,—
Light as the summer-meteor's glance,.
It startles from the tempting trance ;
Or won—as quickly lest as won,
Waves its bright pinion, and is gone I
Where then to find the spell that flings
The fetter on those wavering wings ?
'Tis in the native truth of heart,
That scorns the thought of female art;
That keenly thrill'd by joy or pain,
Disdains the thrill to hide or feign,
And anxious still the heart to move,
Toils not for triumph, but for love
On his wild plume this fetter twine,
The wanderer's thine, and ever thine

Mr. ELLIsTom is gone to Paris for the sake of
procuring novelties for Drury-Lane Theatre.
Miss FORDE, who is shortly to appear at
Drury-Lane Theatre, comes from Ireland, and is a
pupil of Mr. ROOKE, a respectable musician
of that country, who is said to be engaged at
the same Theatre. It was intended that she
should make her debut in Rosetta. She possesses
a very fine voice; and it is regulated by taste.
The new Comic Opera announced at Drury-
Lane, under the title of The Veteran Soldier, or,
The Farmer's Son, is the ackonwledged produc-
tion of Mr. KNIGHT, the Actor. Mr. KNIGHT

proves by Lis acting that he is well acquainted
with rustic manners, and if he draws a veteran
soldier with equal skill, there can be little doubt
of the success of his piece, particularly as he is
very deservedly a favourite of the public.
Mr. KEAN, we find, is going to perform the
part of Sir Pertinax Mac-Sycophant. He will, no
doubt, give all the sarcastic passages with great
force, and strong effect to the whole ; !jut we
see no necessity for his speaking in the Scottish
dialect. There are knaves, like the dramatic
Knight, in all countries, and why should the cha-
racter be imputed particularly to our brethren of
the North? It is enough for Mr. KEAN to give ,
the passions and sentiments of the character with 1

truth and spirit. Why should he be obliged to
acquire a pronunciation which, after all, would be
unintelligible to a great majority of the audience ?
The refuse of the KING'S stud was sold yes-
terday at TATTERSALL'S. The general price was
about 30 guineas. One horse, Ticket, went off
so high as 125 ; another brought only 13.
BUONAPARTE'S favourite horse, which followed
the remains of his master to his grave, is now in
his MAJESTY'S stud—a bay Arabian, of beautiful
symmetry.

We are concerned to state that Vice-Admiral
Sir RICHARD KEATS is dangerously ill at his
apartments in Greenwich Hospital.
Mr. WM. DEPLEDGE, of Newcastle-on-Tyne, was in
Trinity Term last duly admitted an Attorney in his Majesty's
Courts of King's Bench, Common Pleas, and Exchequer; and
also a Solicitor in the High Court of Chancery.
A meeting of the inhabitants of Alnwick was held in the
Town-hall, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, on Monday se'nnight, when
a draft of the proposed act, for lighting and improving the
town, was submitted to them, the details of which underwent
considerable discussion, and were agreed to, with some slight
alterations. His Grace the Duke of Northumberland, on being
applied to for his assistance, with his accustomed liberality,
undertook to defray the expence of the act.
