M. Cazonave, however, spoke in favour of
adopting tne,law as it origiuAlly stood and that
suits of 150,000 fraiies, which would have
been required by the ahiendment of the Cottunittee
,to

with all good Frenchmen; that under his Majesty's
euspities the Legion. of Honour should- recd' er
tonfirmeti existence, its establishments, and pri,.
vileges but he 'vat still more anxious that the
flat ion should (thew itself just end grateful towards
Printe to whom it was indebted for true liberty.
-the King in his generosity wished to her-
then the Civil List with the interest of a debt
which the Chamber had declared national, it was
our duty to declare this excess of magnaiihnity.
It is fit that the Civil List reniain untouched, and
that the Throne he surrounded with all suitable
Inajesty, Our hearts feel grateful to the best of
Kings for his beneficient intentions, but the-re-
presentatives of the People consult, in their deli-,
beratioqs; only national justice and honour.
The question being then loudly called for,. the
law as amended was carried by 109 votes out of
1110.
' M. Faure then reported the contents olvarious
petitions, complaining of the fees exacted from
the pupils of private schools, for the behoof of.
the university. This; it was said, tended not only
to ruin these priiate establiihments, and reduce
many respectable old limn to beggary, but was ,
extremely injurious to :the spread of education.
The amount thus paid in.io the university was a
20th of the stipend paid for every scholar.
Other petition complained that education was .
almost annihilated ; and that the professors,' es-
pecially in the provinces, were either destitute of
talents, or negligent of tlieir duties.
The Reporter then prOceeded to observe, that
since the (lay when truth could make itself be
heard, the Committee had often wished to, call the
attention 4)l' the Chamber to the reform of these
atinseS ; but it was withheld by this Considera-
tion, that before destroying it was wise to prOpose
the means of regeneration. The Committee were
convinced that the Government, whom the com-
plaints of the petitioners had reached, was pre-
. paring a measure which would doubtless be pre-
sented to the Chamber, and Which, by restoring
order and justice, would ameliorate all the depart-
ments of edneation. He' tberefoie
,recommended
that the coosiderations of time petitions be ad-
journed.
11. Coup6:---The impost which the Reporter of
the Committee has alluded to, is most odious.—
' I move that the King be addressed to abolish it.
M. Poymaurin.—The University is an iiistitu
tion essentially 'vicious ; is founded- on despot-
ism, prodigality, and fiscal extortion. What can
be more odious than these consolidated duties itll-
posed on education 1 I move that a plan of law
be proposed for putting an eud'to these vexations,
'and for the regeneration of instruction.

ST. PETERSBUIIGB, Nov. Our official Ga-
zette publishes to-day the following letter froth
Field Marshal BarcLty de Tully to Count- Platoff,
dated Bruchsal, July 6
At the ever memorable period when the invincible Rus-
sian army delivered the country front the presence of a for-
midable enemy who wished to subjugate it, the corps of Cos-
sacks of tlmllon, under your Excellency's .orders, distinguish-
ed itself by new and innumerable proofs of attachment to
our august Monarch, and of zeal fee the public service. Be-
sides, the regiments which gloriously combated the imposing
misses of the ertetuy from his first entrance on our territory,
the old warriors of the Don, who reposed in the bosom of
theit tinntlits • under the shade of the laurels. which they
hmtv long ,bopre gathered, as well us the young turn scarcely"

and ,olOrilf the'ttussian Empire. When they arrived on the
'plait of' 'Tatatino they formed a powerful reinforcement far
afterthe bloody battles which it had fought. Soon
afterwards, when the enemy of our repose and of the general
tranquillity, after experiencing the force and constancy of
. the army.and of-the whole Kussian people, took to flight, the
warriors of the Don, who threw themselves on him to anni-
hilate him, covered-the roads by. which be was refiring with
the trophies of their -victories, stripped them of- the. trea-
sures they were carrying off from Moscow,, '.a,u4 uniting to
military glory the piety of -Christians, dedicated them to the
Most High. These offerings, which ornarnent.the temple of.
the Deity; in the capital of 'the Empire, will fur ever be h.-7
-,refracible proofs of their zeal for the true religion.
" When at last the victorious troops of our.7Mimarch, full
of affection for us,' and touched with compassion for the niii-
fortutiesof other' nations; after driving the enemy from their
own territory, were. employed• &direr foreign countries
froth his yoke; the regiments of the. Don shared in the valour
and glory of the defenders, of Germany, the deliverers of
France, and the restorers of .pea.-e. Yes, dear Connt,,,at
that memorable period, there was net an affair in which the
heroes of 'the Don were not signalised by their military ex-
ploits, not a battle in which I,llj, did not triumph, not alt
•obst sle which they did not surmount, not .a 41anger which.
they did not vauquish.

"Now that, covered with giery, they are returning to their
fine climate, and hat front-the baaks of the .Seine tothoSevof
the pot, the carry with them peace and happiness, I cannot
-Conceal my sincere gratitude fur . their immortal _exploits.,-,
Their glory, it is true, does not stand in need of my acknow-
'ledgment in order to be known to all the.werldf-but-1 eon-
-sider 'it as eery flattering to me to transmit to posterity the re-
collection that Vhave had the happiness to be witness of their
glritiouS 'services both for their country and'fortign:oath.,is;.
in consequence•l beg your Excellency.to accept the sincere-
expre:.siou of my sentiments for the warriors ofthe Don, as a
pledge of the special esteem of the whole army of which the
Emperor has condescended to entrust to me the command.--

deration with which.l bare tb"e bunour to be, Sce."
MILAN, DEC. Venetians flatter thew
selves with thc hope of recovering their indepen-

strong note to the'. Congress upon this subject.-
If this negOciatiOn succeed, the ancient State of
Venice will hate a separate Government front that
of Milan. It is thought that Prince Eugene will
' have territories in Italy, and not in Germany. .
'GENOA, DEC. 6.—The King of Sardinia is •
ex-
pected to arrive here about the 10th of this month ;
it is supposed that the union of Genoa. with Pied-

HANOVEIi, DEC. 3,r-Our Ministers are, at pre-

Catholics, in a constitutional way. Already ar-
rangements are making for the establishment of
a Catholic-seminary; in the -tem] Hileiesheim„
Other changes, also, ari:lt;oked for, and faille in-
terval the Catholic Clergy have regained their
pensions. So far is all intolerance practically re.
moved, that the Catholics can, at present, hold
the most important employments amongst us, and
recently two Catholics have been appointed Mem-
bers of the Hanoverian Government.
The Senate of Hamburgh, in a-recent sitting,
decided against Admitting the Jews to the rights

of crowns, payable by the King of Prussia, us
an equivalent for Poinerahia,,which we cede to 1
the King of Prussia ; but these six millions of '

her upon England, who is indebted to her to such
an amount ; and out of the six millions, two are
claimed by Prussian subjects.
Pomerania is not a possession to be muck re-

There is talk of the marriage of • the Princess
Royal Caroline with the Hereditary Prince of
Oldenburg, who
.would succeed to the Crown of
Denmark, and annex to it, the Principalities of
Oldenburg and Delnienhorst. This Prince is
highly esteemed both for understanding and cha-
racter He is a near relation not only to the
King of Detimark, bat also to the Emperor Alex-
tinder, who takes -the warmest interest in his
yvelfare.

by Christmas.
