FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the ilfessager des Chambres dated Saturday, Nov. 19.)
PARIS, Nov. 18.—The German Journals and several private
letters which we have received to-day from the Rhenish pro-
vinces, afford information which leaves no doubt of the dis.
charge of the Prussian troops, and of a general disarming shortly
to take place.
The proposal of M. Briqueville will not be voted this evening.
The principle article, however, has been adopted. The de.
Claration of banishment has been voted, without the penal sane.
tion desired by the author of the proposal.
The second article of the Committee, relative to the family of
13uonaparte, was the object of a greater opposition ; it was fully
justified and voted, with the abrogation of the law of 1816. In-
stead of expressly confirming the banishment of the Imperial
family, M. Comte proposed that the Chamber should confine it-
self to abrogating the articles of the law of 1816 which decree
the penalty of death against the members of that family who
should tread on French ground. M. Comte's amendment was
carried. The remainder of the proposal relates to the property
of the Ex-King and his family.
As the affairs of Belgium may be considered as terminated by
the peremptory declaration of the Conference addressed to the
King of Holland, the attention of politicians is now turned to.
wards Switzerland and Portugal, not that the intestine dissen-
sions of some cantons and the projected expedition against Don
Miguel seem likely to overturn the peace of Europe, but because
those two points are at present the only ones which can now
afford some scope for imagination.

After some remarks on the present state of Switzerland, the
Message?. proceeds:—
" The expedition projected in the name of Donna Maria, to
dethrone Don Miguel, would more nearly affect the interests of
Europe than the disputes of the Swiss cantons; it has therefore
drawn great attention, especially since the embargo laid by the
English Government on the vessels freighted in the name of
Donna Maria. This embargo is in itself, and seems to us to be
merely a formality of maritime police. Besides, the indirect
publication of the preparations for the expedition obliged the
Cabinet of London to take some such measures. We shall not
imitate the unfortunate indiscretion of some Journals, we shall
not say whether the season for landing is past, whether the ex-
pedition is given up, or whether it will take place on a sudden,
at the moment when it is supposed to be abandoned. We shall
only correct an error into which many of our brother Journa-
lists have fallen, in making the English and French Cabinets
interfere in an affair which is wholly a personal concern of tho
Portuguese Princes. A voluminous quarto, demonstrating the
rights of Donna Maria to the throne of Portugal, published at
Paris by her friends three years ago, has remained unanswered
except by the cruelties of the usurper.
" Donna Maria already reigns in fact at Terceira and the a -
jacent islands. Portuguese refugees seem to intend to embark
for 'Terceira; unarmed vessels have been freighted for them :
such is the state of things. It was a mistake to say that a mili-
tary expedition was going to sail from the English ports. The
real expedition, when it takes place, will sail from Terceira,
and it will not be till they reach that island that the Portuguese
will take arms. There is, therefore, no reason to say that
France and England take a part in the question of the inheri.
lance of the throne of Portugal. This neutrality is a proof of
their moderation, as neither they nor any other European Ca-1
binet have recognized Don Miguel as the legitimate heir of the
throne."
BORDEAUX, Nov. 15.--M. de Latour du Pin, son of the
late Ambassador of France to the Court of Turin, was arrested
yesterday afternoon, between four and five o'clock, by a com-
missary of Police, just as he was coming out of the Prefecture,
accompanied by his father.
