PARISH OF LAMBETH.—Yesterday morning, it
Vestry Meeting of the inhabitants of this Path!! was held,
to receive a Report . from the Commissioners appointed, re-
lative to the fees taken at the Court of Requests, for the,
Borough of Southwark, .and the Eastern Half Hundred of
Brixton, referred to them for Inquiry. by the Vestry held on Easter Tuesday last. Much discussion has lately arisen
as to the charges made by the Court in question, and several
gentlemen delivered their sentiments on the occasion, and cer.. tain resolutions were agreed to, in furthercnce of the object
which is to rAluce the present demands; The Meeting then
atijoui ned.
We have much pleasure in announcing that the
goodly work of removing the houses attached to our venerable
Abbey Church has, within these few days, been actually coin-
menced ; and in coarse of a short period the premises lately occu-
pied by Mrs. Wright, at the N.W. corner, and the large house in
the Grove, recently in the possession of Mr. Webster, will
be levelled with the round. As we understand the Cor-
poration have resolved not to renew the premises on the
north of the Abbey, of '.which they are the grotti,d-
landlords; and that Earl Manvers has intimated a simiLr
determination with regard to his property on the south part of
the noble structure, there is every, reason to hope, that in due
course of time the whole of the houses that have so long eneura-
bered and obscured its architectural beauty will be removed,
and " leave not a wreck behind." —(IC. I/i hre mitt )

lilebruary ir)„, 18'23.

[stoftetsto cuttoructt.l
We received the Paris Papers of Wednesday
last night, by express. The Courier Frangais,
stand, up for the correctness of its version in M.
speech, and indeed sheers that the ver-
sion in the Drapeau Blanc, which has not been
challenged, is substantially the same.—We are
assured war is not inevitable. The Courier and
New Times, who did all they could in the way
of encouraging the French to their aggression,
now that their wishes are gratified, are extremely
anxious for a strict neutrality on our part.
it in always lime, theY eay, to interfere if
Fiance should display a *wish .to aggradise
herself ; and why should we renounce the
advintages of neutrality. 'God forbid that
we should advocate the plunging, the country
rashly into war—we are too well aware of the
evil which necessarily follow in its train. • But
those who, after embroiling the Continent, tell
us to be quiet, forget that the convulsions of the
Continent must re-act on us even commercially
(supposing all danger from the ambition of the
Allies out of the question), and that the effect of
the poverty of the people: of the Continent will
xlecessarily be tt diminution of our own resources.
One nation does hot Frain by another's ittsses, as
was once foolishly supposed; and the injury of
a Continental war would not be confined to the
Continent.
[Tit E TIM L'id
The JOurnal do Commerce says nothing of the
process commenced against it for the imputed
misrepresentation of M. de ,Villele's speech.
The Couricr Francais defends itself manfully.
It first states, that several Deputies recollected
the, words of M. de Villide to be such in. effect
us those imputed to him by the (;ourier ; it next
states (and quotes the passage in proof), that
the Drapcau Blanc had given the same version Of
the speech, and yet bad not been prosecuted ; and
proves logically, by an argumentum ad
horninem, that if M. de Villele had not given the ai-
sistance to theServilles with u hich he was charged,
yet that, in his view of the subject, he, ought to
have given it : for, meaning to invade Spain,
ill pod earnest, it was surely his duty to support
those friends by whom the French army, was to
be joined on its entrance. The imputing this
provident care, therefore, to him, was rather
compliment to his just activity, than an imputa.
tiou on his integrity. Whatever others might do,'
it is impossible for M. de VillMe to refute this
reasoning. We should say, indeed, practically,
that a men who in determined to commit one
great atrocity, haul better render it as feasible as
possible by aptecedeut knaveries.

[New T hiES,S
Consols fckr Account Termun nearly as they
%ere on Thursday. In the course of yesterdry
they fell to 74, but rose again, before the close
of the market, to 74k. The depression was
attributed principally to a statement, which i
belieyed to be correct, that the Finance Minister
at Madrid had drawn bills to the amount of half
a million sterling on an eminent house in London,
which watt employed to negociate a new Loan
for the Republicans, but
,that the house in ques-
tion very prudently declined accepting the bills.
11,46, if true, 'will be a fatal blow to the
Jacobin cause in Spain. According to the
latest accounts from Madrid, there was not
tt dollar in tho Treasury there and the. Re.'
✓olution, which has been hitherto supported
solely by I?,nglish Loans, was regarded as draw,
141441;41y to a close. After the ruin of SO many
of our capitalists by. he fatal, speculation inSpa,
3401 Bonds, it, is tolerably, certain that ,no more
dupe* will be found in this country, Never;
theless it is asserted that the attempt will still
be: made, and that a new Spanish Loan is to be
brought out on the tst of March.

[MORNING POST.]
We received fast night, hy, express, Paris Jour
11911.4 to the nth iustaist. :Their contents are on
important, except so far as they :show that not-
withstanding the much of troops, the for:lntroit
of titagrizities, dud the tippointinent of Com-
manders, the threatened declaration of war is still
delayed. 'diked the Ultras begin toihew symp-
toms of alarm, and to intirnate that if their par•
tisans relax in their activity the pacific disposir,

latiounel, after qiioting then preceding passartey
justly observes It, appears evident from
these attack,: that the opinions Of Ole 'i«.
oiltry are not unanimous. This is, an extra-
erdiuttry fact under a Constitutional 'Govern-
merit, 'where perfect 'unanimity in public coon-
rids is an indivensuble c6nditioth With respect
to M. de Villclt, what'llappens to him is a ne-
eesssary consequence of the conduct-which be has
pursaed. In the painful and difficult 003itiOn in
which he finds himself 'plai:ed, hey twis not a choice
