CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, Antic 9.

The sitting commenced at two o'clock.
M. Dupin, nine, presided ; and the Chamber imme-
diately proceeded to the subject of the electoral law, rela-
tive to the amendments of the Chamber of Peers, and the
proposition of Government, which was announced the
other day.
M. de Corcelles ascended the tribune, and in conse-
quence of having in the commencement of his speech at-
tributed to the Chamber of Peers the wish of corruptin4
the elections, was called to order. This created an emo-
tion in the House, and a pause of some minute's, during
which interval the Minister of Foreign Affairs (Sebas-
tianl) entered the Chamber, accompanied by several Depu-
ties. - A general movement was immedirtely perceived
through the House; and in a few minutes the Deputies,
having all descended from their respective seats, formed in
groups in the parterre, and the particulars of this emotion
we learned as follow :

They report thut an extraordinary courier from the
French Consul at Warsaw has just arrived, bearing the
news of a great defeat of the Russian army. The nturib,r
of Russians killed is 2,000, the prisoners and wounded
between 7,000 and 8,000. The Poles have taken from
20 to 25 pieces of cannon. The Poles, in this affair, were
acting on the offensive. This news, which appears to
have been brought into the Chamber by the Minister of
Foreign Affairs, is very much credited. It occupied the
Deputies for some time, but having been recalled in their
sitting by the President,
M. de Corcelles continued his speech, and spoke in very
warm terms against tke Chamber of Peers having so much
curtailed the electoral law.

(From the Messoper des Chambres of Sunday.)

We have been informed, in a most positive manner,
that the Minister of Finance, with a view of making the
inscription of the ❑ational rents more easy of access, will
issue to any one who applies inscriptions to the bearer.
We must feel gratified at this measure. This arrange-
ment is followed in England, and the facility it produces
is fnind very useful to commercial transactions.

MILAN, Martcu 31.—(Extract from a private letter.)
—4, No engagement took place during the whole of the
night of the 26th, but towards seven o'clock on the follow-
ing morning firing commenced on both sides. The
Austrians seeing that they were losing a number of their
troops, entered into combat and wished to push the assault
as far as Catolira ; but the patriots resisted for two hours
successively the charges of cavalry and the well-sustained
fire of the artillery. At the same time a corps of patriots
from Alissano and Bisanico came up and increased the
number of the defenders of the country, anti having with
them four small field-pieces, they commenced a spirited
attack upon the Austrians' flank. The Austrians during
three hours were frequently on the point of taking Cam,
ilea, but they were each time repulsed, although 30,000
patriot!, novices in the heart of war, fought against
10,000 Austrians, Hungarians, and Tyrolese, grown old
under military discipline. At last, about three o'clock in
the afternoon, the tiring discontinued by degrees, and the
Austrians retired towards Rirnini. The obstinate resist-
ance and the courage of the patriots excited great enthu-
siasm in La M trehe, and the peasants ran from the diffe-
rent villages to fight for their country. The Austrians
lost more than 1,000 men in killed, wounded, and prisoners,
on the 27th. At San Lorenzo a guerilla obliged an en-
tire battalion to lay down their arms. General Geppert
has required a reinforcement of 12,000 men before he can
recommence hostilities. It is, however, certain that the
patriots cannot hold out for a long time, but they will at
least revenge the national honour, and sell their liberty at
a dear rate.

(From Gali:ynani's Mesgcnger of Saturday.)

Much has been said about a proposition, for raising the
loan of 120,000,000 fr., by finding 30,000 subscribers,
each of whom is to take 200 f. a year, Five per Cents., at
par. Some persons have signified their willingness to
subscribe, but in gentcal the plan, however praiseworthy,
Ims been deemed impracticable.
It results from a table signed by M. Aguado, and pub-
lished in the Maniteur, that there was sunk, from the Ist
of January to the 31st of March, 1531, in Rentes Per-
peturlles of Spain, payable at Paris, 9,085 double piastres
of renter, equal to 49,059 francs, which cost 437,644-fr.
440 c. As there bad been previously sunk, up to Decem-
ber 31, 1530, 77,875 double piastres of relites, equivalent
to 420,5251 r., which cost 4,454,6311 r. 14c., the total
amount sunk up to March 31, was 86,960 double piastres,
equal to 469,554 fr., which cost 4,892,279 fr. 15c. The
Maniteur also g.ves the numbers of the inscriptions sunk.
The Courrier Francais says, upon the subject of the
rumours afloat on Thursday--.., It is unnecessary to point
out the improbability of the reports of an alliance between
Austria, France, and England. An attempt, however,
may have been made by Prince Talleyrand, who proposed
such an alliance at the Congress of Vienna, in 1515. But
it is not to be expected that Austria, who is at war with
liberal principles in Italy, should engage to support them
in Poland. The cession of Algiers to the Sultan, on con.
dition that he will go to war with Russia, is one of the
many hoaxes made use of by speculators on 'Change to
serve their own purpose. Turkey will not want A'giers,
if she decides upon war, favoured as she now is by circum-
stances.

Various reports are in circulation as to the contents of
the despatches brought by the last courier to the Russian
Ambassadors. The following has gained the most credit.
Orders from the interior of the empire have hastened the
retreat of the troops from Poland in every direction. Se-
rious internal agitations on the frontiers .f Sweden, Tur-
key, and Persia, are said to he the causes of this retreat.
We regret that we. are unable tO support these political
rumours with any positive information, which, if well
founded only in part, would haye:an immense weight in
future events.
