LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 23, 1834.

The French papers of Wednesday are chiefly
occupied with details and observations relative
to LAFAYETTE, whose funeral was to take
place yesterday. His remains were to be in-
terred in a private churchyard at Piepus, near
to those of his late wife.

The Chamber of Deputies had concluded the
business before it on Tuesday, when they voted
the Budget of Receipts, which gives the Exe-
cutive power to reduce, by royal ordinance, the
import duties on some descriptions of foreign
manufactures and produce during the proroga-
tion. The dissolution will probably take place
at the next meeting of the Chambers.
_ _

Algiers does not seem to be yet in peaceable
possession of the French, and it is doubtful if
It ever will be. The Government had better
give up the idea of permanent possession—it
will cost more than it ever can be worth.

The Hamburg papers furnish a long and ful-
some account of the celebration of Easter at
St. Petersburgh, and the taking of the oath of
fidelity by the Grand Duke ALEXANDER on
the 23d April (sth May), after which 5,000

roubles were distributed to the poor. The Auto-
crat and his family are described as being very
happy. They had not a thought, perhaps, for
the poor Poles :

The Espoir brig of war, Lieutenant RILEY,
arrived on the 11th at Falmouth, with de-
spatches from Lord HOWARD DE WALDEN,
and mails.

Coimbra was evacuated on the 7th, the gar-
rison marching out at 10 P.M. The Duke
of TERCEIRA entered it with all his forces
on the Bth, and was joined by RODIL
and about three thousand troops. The
united forces were received with the greatest
enthusiasm. Repeated cheers and vistas
for Donna MARIA 11., with other ex-
pressions of joy, sufficiently manifested the
feeling of the inhabitants in favour of the new
order of things. The north is nearly free of
Miguelites, and the country tranquil, and in the
south they were repulsed at Faro, with the loss
of nearly four hundred men.

The PEACEFUL ALLIANCE, and that speedy
settlement of the affairs of the Peninsula which
it is designed to produce, appear to have given
great umbrage to the Courts of Vienna and
Berlin, and the Prussian Ambassador has re-
ceived orders to quit Spain. The Augsburg
Gazette regrets the dismissal of M. ZEA,
whose possession of the Government was con-
sidered a sufficient guarantee for the mainte-
nance of Holy Alliance influence. We believe
that ZEA was a tool of the Autocrat's, and it
is well for Spain and the QUEEN that he has
been dismissed, never, we hope, to return to
power. The Russian EMPEROR has tools
enough in the East, without having them also
in the West of Europe. ZEA has, we pre-
sume, amply repaid the services rendered to
him in his misfortunes by his old protector ;
and Spain can well spare him for service nearer
the residence of his own master.

The Madrid Gazette, of the 14th, con-
tains a royal order, addressed to the Captain
General of New Castile, announcing that the
QUEEN REGENT had decided that the Cortes
should be assembled on July 24, and directing
him to prepare proper buildings for the sitting
of the two Chambers. It also contains a royal
order, addressed by the Minister of Justice
to the Bishops of PAMPELUNA and CAL-
TORNA, whose dioceses are still the theatres of
rebellion, interdicting them from appointing any
prebendaries, or other ecclesiastics having the cure
of souls, unless the candidates present certificates
from the Royal Commissary, attesting their
attachment to the cause of Donna ISABELLA 11.
thereby wishing to put an end to the cruel
evils caused by the guilty opposition of several
of the ministers of religion. According to
reports received by the Minister of War, all
traces of MERINO have been lost. He is
believed to be ill, and in concealment. Some
circumstances had given rise to a suspicion that
he had retired to the monastery of St. Jean
d'Ortegor, but the most rigid search for him
there has not produced any discovery.
The Register Espagnola states that regular
convoys of provisions, ammunition, and stores,
are sent from Ciudad Rodrigo to the Spanish
troops in Portugal. The army is also abundantly
supplied, and there is nothing to impede . its ,
operations.

A detachment of the new gendarmerie has
just brought into Madrid the equipages of
Don CARLOS, which were captured in Por-
tugal. The Minister of War is occupied in
preparing a system of primary instruction in
the several regiments ; and it is already being
tried in those which form the garrison of
Madrid.

The debate on Mr. Bur. wER's motion for a
repeal of the stamp duties on newspapers is,
on the whole, satisfactory, inasmuch as the
declarations of Lord ALTHORP that he is
personally in favour of such a step, and that
he only hesitates on account of the revenue,
are the best indications of the intentions of the
government greatly to reduce the duty, if not
to do away with it. entirely. There is little
doubt that the duty will be reduced to at least
half its present amount, and that at no distant
period. We are well convinced that the
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER means to
do what is right, and are quite willing to give
him time, in the confidence that a little further
consideration and information will satisfy him
that the revenue would gain, and not lose, from
a reduction of the duty.

We rejoice to find that there remains little
doubt of the success of Sir JOHN CAMPBELL
at Edinburgh. Nothing has caused the triumph
of the Tories in other places but the folly of the
Radicals and the lukewarmness of the Dissen-
ters. We hope the Scots are too wise to fall
into the traps of the Tories.

The proposition to grant a sum of money
out of the Consolidated Fund to support a par-
ticular publication (for that was the real object
of the motion of last night), is the most bare-
faced attempt at imposition we ever remember.
A work was undertaken by certain parties as a
matter of speculation and profit, and now that
it has failed of success, the proprietors, in
order to remunerate themselves, come for-
ward on the plea of public utility, and call
on the Government for support. Almost
any other speculators might urge the same
grounds for remuneration, and some of them,
such as the speculators in rail-roads and canals,
with much more propriety. The debates at
present are given at a length sufficient for all
useful purposes, and more than sufficient for
the taste of the public. If persons having an
interest in private bills, or in any business not
generally interesting, wish to have a full re-
port of the proceedings, they, and not
the public, should pay for the publication.

1 Many members, we believe, supported the mo-
tion last night from a belief that they would
get their speeches published at full length in the
newspapers, and that this beau-ideal of theirs,
this record of parliamentary debates, would
contain a correct and impartial report of the
proceedings. They could not be more mis-
taken. Were the house to employ reporters,
and give them the most favourable situation,
with orders to report the proceedings at full
length, and transmit them in slips to the dif-
ferent newspapers, all the long-winded speeches
would be as little read by the public as at pre-
sent. This is on the supposition that they
could find the proprietor of a newspaper
so mad as to fill his columns with
matter which could not interest one out of fifty
of his readers. No human being, unless paid
for it, would read them ; and in order to be
consistent, the concocters of the plan should
have moved for a grant of money, not only to
pay the reporters, but also to be distributed in
premiums to the most indefatigable readers of
debates. Unless they accompanied the mea-
sure with some such provision, the public would
know less than ever of the proceedings. The very
length of the speeches, and particularly those be-
ginning with names we could mention, would
frighten all ordinary readers, and in place of
trying to find out the substance, as now pub-
lished in the newspapers, they would give up
the task in despair. A full report of the de-
bates in Parliament would crush in three months
the most influential paper in London. It is
utterly absurd to imagine that such a system
ever could succeed. Great stress has been
laid on authentic reports, and no doubt
they are of great importance, but the plan
proposed would not remedy the alleged
evils. Place reporters in the most favour-
able position, how could they give what Lord
ALTHORP and some other members say,
when even members within two feet of his lord-
ship have declared they did not hear a word he
uttered ?—and what remedy is to be found
for those calls of " Question," those
groans and coughings, and strange noises,
which invariably drown the voice of a
troublesome and tedious speaker? The plans
appear to us altogether chimerical. We have
had some opportunities of judging of the ques-
tion, and we venture to say that the present
system is the best that can be devised for mak-
ing the public acquainted with the proceedings
of Parliament. There is a rivalry among the
papers which induces them to give every thing
of importance, and if more were given it would
not be read. With k very few exceptions, the
grumblers arc to be found among the tenth-rate
speakers. They have the remedy in their own
hands : let them speak short, and to the pur-
pose, and they will soon have no cause of com-
plaint.

The journeymen tailors seem now fully
aware of the ruinous consequences of the late
strike, and of the folly, or rather wickedness,
of those who instigated them to join in such a
hopeless contest with the masters and the pub-
lic: Great numbers of them have already re
turned to work on the former conditions. We
believe a principal tailor at the West end has
nearly his usual complement of men, and most
of the other master tailors are making arrange-
ments for carrying on business at the old prices.
The judicious and honest part of the public press
warned the men of the ruinous course they were
pursuing, but, unfortunately they listened more
to the suggestions of selfish and theoretical ad-
♦enturers than to the sound and impartial advice
of friends. And what has been the result ?
They have caused a serious injury to the mas-
ter tailors and drapers,—they have injured to a
vast extent the trade of the country, but they
have inflicted a still greater injury on them-
selves. They have nearly exhausted their
common stock of money, which they ought
to have reserved for charitable and legitimate
purposes—they have convinced the masters that
a great part of the work can be done by fe-
males, and, consequently, deprived themselves
of that command of the market which they pre-
viously possessed—they have excited a bad feeling
against themselves throughout the country, and,
independently of the loss to their families, many
of them have acquired habits of idleness and
dissipation which they may have cause to regret
for life. The scheme appeared to us from the
beginning not only visionary but ruinous, and
we gave our candid opinion on it uninfluenced
by either party. Had the men asked what was
reasonable, the press would have joined with
them, in place of against them. We admit
they have grievances, and now is the time for
the masters to redress them. If the masters
take steps to render the workshops more healthy
in place of putting a hundred men together in
one ill-ventilated room, and remove all just
causes of complaint, they will obtain another
claim to the approbation of the public.

Since writing the above we are glad to learn
that the journeymen have resolved to return to
their work on Monday next. We congratulate
them on their wise determination ; and we hope
the masters will use their triumph modestly by
conciliatory conduct, and oblivion of the past.
Mutual concession cannot hut be beneficial to
both parties, and be more satisfactory to the
public at large, who have a deep interest in
holding the balance of justice equal, and seeing
fair play between master and man.

Our attention has been called to the Artists'
General Benevolent Institution, the nineteenth
anniversary of which is appointed to be held
to-morrow, at Freemasons' Hall. Of all the
charitable institutions for which this country
is, and ever has been, remarkable, we know of
none more deserving of public encouragement
than this, for the relief of decayed artists, their
widows and orphans. Artists, like actors, are
a class of men peculiarly dependant on the ca-
prices of fashion ; and being usually endowed
with keen sensibilities—too keen perhaps to
enable them to brave the " slings and arrows of
outrageous fortune," or to " take arms against

a ma of troubles,"—are apt to sink under diffi-
culties which more sturdy natures would over-
come.

PARISH OF ST. JAMES, WESTMINSTER.

The election of twelve vestrymen for this parish, in the
place of the same number who retire, concluded at four
o'clock yesterday afternoon, but being by ballot, the time
occupied in ascertaining the result prevented any announce-
ment being made until this morning. The election took
place under Sir John Hobhouse's Bill, which requires that
one-third of the vestrymen of longest standing shall retire
each year. This being the third year of the adoption of
the provisions of that bill by the parish, it follows, that the
twelve who now retired formed the last remnant of the
old select. Great exertions were made by the aristocracy
of the parish to regain their influence, but the subjoined
list will show they were completely discomfited by the
Parochial Association.

Mr. Arm itt
Mr. Bidgood 1339 Mr. Drake
Mr. Staunton
Mr. Chappell...
Mr. Perkins Bl5 Mr. Comley
The above twelve being the highest on the ballot were
declared to be duly returned. All of them belonged to
the " blue," or parochial association list, but the first five
had also the advantage of aristocratic support, which is the
cause of their standing thus high. The total number of
parishioners who voted was 1,445, out of a constituency of
about 2,000, being 300 more than voted last year. The
following are the rejected candidates :

DUBLIN, MAY 21.

(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT. ).

Colonel Bernard, who for a long time represented the
King's County, died yesterday in Sackville-street_it is
supposed from ossification of the heart. He contested the
county with Lord Oxmantown at the last election. He
was a man of large property, and much beloved. It ap-
pears there is not a doubt that O'Connell was offered the
Roll's, which he refused. He will take nothing unless
certain things are done for Ireland, and which it is thought
will be effected.
