FRENCH PAPERS,

( From the, French Papers of Saturday.)
The indieateur of Bordeaux Of the 13th instant nas the
following :—" A courier passed through the tow last night
travelling with the utmost dispatch. Some Per.ons assert that
he announced that Don Carlr,s had surren''..dred himself to the
French outpci.sis, and was ccinducted. to Bayonne as a prisoner.
The statement, however, is, -not nide, iittt lye know for certain
that, since the late ever',..s, 7Allalar:arreguy,'overcmne by dis-
appointment, had joined Don Carlos on the, frontier in a state
of indisposition, and. the Cariists themselves, in order to pre-
pare against an l'Aevitable defeat, detained till: pretender as a
hostage,- Surro-anding the house in which he is loaged with
sentinels. 921 a-morrow, or the next day, we may probably be
enabled to announce the termination of the rash enterprise
of Don Carlos, and the deliverance of the insurgent provinces."
YestmTlay, at half past- seven in• the morning, General Mina
and his family left us for Bayonne."
. .

• The iffentorial Bortietills of the 13th has the following'
frsian the frontier ea--" The courier of the From:di Embassy.
Nsgarria, _who left Madrid on the 7th, has arrived here. The
capital was quite tranquil. The theatres were ordered to be
closed, aa measure of sanatory precaution. The War Mi-
nister having twice offered his resignation, it has at length
been accepted by her Majesty, who has appointed General
l'aidbilo tie his successor. Among the nemeroua'victims of
cholera we had the following names :—Lear, ex-Minister ef-
T:itianee, the Marquis of Poetejos, the Duchess of Villaher-
nosai ?and a daughter of Count Puno-ea-eostro. This dreadful
:seourge is not at Saragossa, but at Valladolid and at Corr ellas,
six leagues from Pam china. Out of seven peasons attacked,
five. have perished. .
.Ihe monks of the convent of Vera, ail
-Carlists, latterly exhibited a bull-fight, wherein Rodii was re-
presented in elligy ; but this ignoble seectacle, aeon received
AtS chastisement, for at the approach "of the Queen's troops
they were obliged to abandon Vera."
The Augshurgh Gazette of the 12th inst. contains the fol-
lowing, of July 26, from Jassy :—" The Prince Hospodar, re-
turning from Constantinople, is in quarantine at Galacz. He
will remain there several days, and thence will come to this
town. .All preparations have been made for giving him a fa-
a:arable reception. The whole population of the town and
s.earrounding neighbourhood are .eager to express their joy r-.;
-his arrival. Dillicult would it be to find a choice more worthy
of the principality than that of Prince Stourdza, the newly-
created Hospodar. This seems to be the universal opinion.
The Hospodar of Wallachia is also expected hourly from Con-
stantinople : as soon as he arrives at Bucharest the ademinis-
tration 'of both provinces will be organized. Our affairs will.
Teceive new life from this event, for the precarious situation hi
which we have existed for many years past has given a shook
to commerce, industry, and public credit. Delivered from the
`'uncertain state by svhicli we have been so long oppressed, we
venture to hope that our political existence will never more be
violated. Our neighbours will benefit by cur prosperity ; they
will either .receive from us the products which they require, or
they will find in our markets abundant means for the disposal
'f their own. Accounts from Constantinople state that the
Phrte withstands every effort which has been made to shake
its policy, and is unchanged in its determination to rely on the
protection of Russia. We cannot but congratulate his High-
ness on this firmness, for, comparatively speaking, his exiat-
eine will never be better insured than by preserving his friendly
relations with that power."

The Suabiaa Mercury gives the following of the Bth inst.
from Munich :--a" The King and Queen of Bavaria will in
the course of next month pay a visit to Rome, and after a
short stay in that city go to Ancona, where they will embark
for Greece. They will remain some time with their son, and
return home again about the end of November. The Govern-
ment, it is said, intends next spring to employ the Bavarian
troops upon the works of the grand canal which is to unite the •
Danube, the Maine, and the Rhine. The incendiary band
which has committed so many atrocities in the neighbourhood
of Landschut __and Freisieg has made its appearance in our
neighbourhood ; . and even in Munich itself torches made of
straw and pitch and other inflammable matter have been
thrown into several houses, but were found before they had
produced any injury. Hence arose a report that demagogic
letters were also discovered, but this was a false alarm. In
the mean time the streets are paraded by nurherous patrols ;
:orders have been issued that notice of any fire which might break
out should be instantly sent to the barracks, and that the streets
leading to the prisons in which political offenders are co fined
eould be barricaded. - Baron de Ruffin, . Administrator of
the royal domains and of the colony of Schleissheirn, received
orders-to-make a tour through the kingdom, and ascertain the
eatantity of heath, marsh, and other land at present lying un-
- productive, but which is fit for cultivation, and afterwards lay
his report before the King. Lands of this description are to
be found to the extent of -six leagues to the north, east, and
west of this capital, upon which it is said the Government In-
tends to establish colonies of agriculturists."
A letter from Rome, dated the 2nd instant, says-a-" The
Pope yesterday held an extraordinary convocation of the Car-
dinals, in order to communicate to them that Cardinal Petri -
zioda Silva, Patriarch of Lisbon, had consecrated the bishops
• n:ominated by Don Pedro. The speech of the. Holy Father
was full of sentiments of indignation against the injustice•of
- disobedient son of the church, and declared that the schism
was even more scandalous than all that had arisen during the
French revolution. It was resolved to -address-a second and
•
list adinonition to Don Pedro, and then, should this prove in-
effectual, to have recourse to excommunication.-- The new
Cardinals Pollidori, Bottiglia, and Canali, were introduced at
this consistory. The Austrian Ambassador, M. de Lutzow, left
us yesterday on a visit to his own country: His duties will lie
performed during his absence by the Baron de Marchal." :

Mr. Cobbett says : " The Budget has given great
satisfaction in the country. Every part of it judicious and
good as far as it goes : and if a repeal of the malt tax were
added, I should begin to hope that the country might see better
days. They may talk of the spirit of the age as long they
like ; but the spirit of this age in England is, what it was in all
other ages—an appetite for plenty of bread and meat, and a
thirst for plenty of good beer.
Amongst the alterations likely to be carried into
immediate effect is a plan for opening a public thoroughfare
into St. James's Park, on the site of the present Foreign Office
- in Downing-street, and for erecting a suitable line of build-
ings, for the Foreign and other Government Offices, in the
immediate vicinity ; Downing-street and the adjoining houses
being intended to be cleared away for that purpose.
THE NEW PALACE.—The equestrian bronze statue
of his late Majesty George the Fourth, admirably executed by
Chantrey, at the price of 9,000 guineas, is just completed, and
will shortly be placed over the grand marble entrance in St.
James's Park. The magnificent gates enriched with mosaic
gold, designed and manufactured by Parker, are also in readi-
ness to be fixed on the archway ; they are considered to be
the largest and most splendid in Europe, not excepting even
the great gates of the ducal Palace at Venice, hitherto
esteemed the most remarkable for their size. The cost, per
Contract, of the new gate, including the circular railing-3
already fixed on each side of the marble arch, has been
10,200/. ; so that the whole expense of this entrance alone
(archway, statue, and • railing), will have amounted to consi-
derably more than 70,000 L, Judging from the printed estimates.
TAGLIONI.—The play-going public experienced a
severe disappointment on Monday evening, through the non-
appearance of this celebrated dancer at the Birmingham
Theatre ; the cause was 'stated to be severe indisposition, to
confirm which a letter from the lady, and a certificate from her
medical attendants, were printed and circulated. Taglioni's
illness was announced in the London Papers last week, and
although the certificate and letter were dated on Sunday, yet
no announcement of them was given in Birmingham until the
afternoon of Monday, in consequence of which numerous par-
ties were arriving from a distance, many of them from this
neighbourhood, up to'the usual hour of performance. In her
letter, Mademoiselle regrets being unable to appear in Bir-
mingham this year, but promises to visit that town on her next
journey to England.-Wolverhampton Chronicle.
Grouse shooting. commenced on Tuesday. Re-
ports vary as to the quantity and condition of the game. In
some places there is scarcity, in others abundance. a We hear
froth Some of our friends that they have had " capital sport."..._

WOOL SALE.—Tiie auction of wool, yesterday,
at Garraway's, consisting of 760 bales of Australian ; 338 cf
Van Dieman's ; 55 of Cape ; and 5 of Red Vi,gonia, went off
frith 'the same spirit which marked the preceding sale. The
prices for the Colonial wools were well maintained.
On, Tuesday night the Birmingham and Bristol
Mail was overturned,m the Southgate-street, in this city, in
consequence of being driven into a trench which had been cut
for the purpose cf laying down some gas pipes, and of the ex-
istence of which the coachman was not apprised in time. One
gentleman had his hand lacerated, but SVC have not heard of
any Arther injury being done.—Gloucester Journal..
We regret to state that cholera has again visited
Glasgow, and that in the lower streets of the town especially,
several cases have occurred on Saturday and Sunday, most of
-of which have been fatal. On Saturday a meeting of the dis-
trict surgeons was held „at the request of the magistrates, with
the view of adopting vigorous measures for meeting the evil.

FALL or A HOUSE IN LIMERICK.—On Friday
morning last, between six and seven o'clock, the,roof of the
house in which Mr. Stephen O'Donnell, china and glassman,
resided, fell in, and broke down before it all the floors. The
only person sleeping in the house at the time were two servant
maids, one of whom, on hearing the roof give way, jumped
out of bed and ran to the window-stool, on which she sat,
thereby saving her life. The other, intending ..to escape by
the hall-.door, made to the stairs to run down, but had not got
half way to the stair-head when the roof fell in, bearing her
downwards in the ruins, where she was instantly crushed to
death. Her body was found at two o'clock p.m., shockingly
mutilated. Mr. O'Donnell's loss is estimatedat between
3001. and 4001.

LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 18, 1834.

Parliamentary business has been so hurried on at
the close of this Session, matters of the utmost im,
portance discussed at:such late hours, and in so thin
houses, and the necessity of some remedy for these
evils has become so apparent, that by next year we may
confidently reckon on some material change being
effected in the system of legislation. In the course of
the last few weeks so many members have left town that
any vote of the Commons may be regarded ra-
ther as the vote of a party than the expres-
sion of the general feeling of the House Some
of the, most objectionable Bills, and to which the
majority of members were opposed—even the most
absurd of the Sabbath Bills, might have been passed
if the advocates of these measures had had the skill to
postpone them for a few weeks. A vast number of
members of a certain class remained in town
to the last, and might easily have outvoted
any numerical force that could have been brought
against them ; but measures carried in such a way
cannot be regarded as the acts of the House. The
blame attaches to the system. Under such cir-
cumstances, there would have been less discussion,
less opposition from contending interests, and little of
that striving and struggling among the 658 Members,
which have been adduced as proofs of the incompe-
tency of the Commons for Legislation,—but would the
Bills have been better on that account ? Quite
the contrary. So far from being better they would
have been utterly ineffective, because they would
have expressed the sentiments only of a party,
and if they had passed into a law, the great
body of • the community would have diskegarded
them. In order to make laws effective, they
must he in unison with public feeling ; and it is the
exemplification of this principle which forms the high
character of the Commons, and gives such weight and
authority to their resolutions. No doubt three law-yer;
could draw up a Bill without •any of that wrangling
and disputation which mark the discussion of every
great measure in the Commons—they might guattl
against everything having the appearance of incou-
sistency or blunder,' but unless they were men of
more than human intelligence—unless they were tho-
roughly acipainted with the feelings, the prejudices,
and the wants of the people for whom they legislated;
'such a law would be a mere gilded toy, and would be
broken to pieces on the first attempt tq put it in
practice. In despotic countries it might be enforced
by a standing army, but in a free country like Eng-
land, where every measure undergoes the fullest dis-
cussion in public and in private—where the people
submit to the law only when it is consistent
with their views of justice, and confers the great-
est advantage on the greatest proportion of the
inhabitants, not one law in fifty made by such Legis-
lators would long continue effective. Witness . the
number of Acts which the House of Lords in their
wisdom opposed to the last. extremity, but which tin.:
people either evaded or compelled them to abrogate.
The Test and Corporation Acts, the Forgery Acts,

the penal statutes against Catholics, and the old rotten
borough system of representation, in the eyes of the
Lords bore the stamp of absolute wisdom ; but
the people, and consequently the representatives of the
people, viewed them in a very different light, and in-
sisted on their abrogation. We can. indeed imagine
no system of legislation in a free-country that will last
unless it is sanctioned by the delegates of the nation—
by men that represent the feelings of the great body of
the people, and. on that account the
_House of Com-
mons as now constituted is the only branch of the
legislature that can be safely intrusted with the con-
struction of our laws. It consists of men of all
parties. It. contains lawyers of equal ability with
any in the other House—it abounds with mon
of practical knowledge in almost every species of trade
and commerce, men who communicate with their con-
stituents, and direct their course according, to the
views and wants of those they represent ; it has also a
sprinkling of fanatics and visionaries, and no small
portion of the re;)resentatives of the AriStocracy ; and
these combined, form a body more calculated than
any other that perhaps - ever existed, for adopt-
ing regulations and laws for the government of
the country. The Lords may ilisenEs measures
with calmness and deliberation, but they represent
only a small portion of the community, and whatever
decision they come to, is regarded by the majority ra-
ther with distrust than confidence. They are useful
as a check on measures passed inadvertently, or ;in
thin houses ; but in other respects, and more especially
as the Home is LOW constituted, they have nothing to
recommend them as legislators. The Government now
§ee the necessity of adop ting a different system,and by next
Session, we have grounds for anticipating that no
Measure of importance will be sent up to the Lords
which has not been submitted to the better judgment of
a full House of Commons. This is the only way to do
away with the pretences for throwing out many Bills,
and bringing
the two Houses to some amicable arrange-
inept for the Government of the country.

We have received the whole of the Paris papers
of Sunday. The Chamber of Deputies sat on Saturday
to conclude the inquiry of the property qualification of
the Deputies, and to receive the Kin's answer to the
Deputation which had been appointed to read to his
Majesty Cl_: toted by the Chamber in answer
to the speech from the Throne. At two o'clock the
Presidedt announced the return of the Deputation, te
whom the King had delivered the following answer to
the address, which was ordered to be read to the
Chamber :

" Gentlemen of the Chamber of Deputies,—During the
short time that you have been already assembled, you have
given me proofs of your attachment to the constitutional
throne, 'which I have so deeply appreciated. You will conti-
nue to afford my Government the loyal and patriotic support
which for the last four years it has found in the Chambers that
have preceded you, and it will courageously maintain that
liberal and moderate policy which, as you observe, is alone
conformable to the wishes and the interests of France.
" You unite with me in offering to the National Guard and
the army the tribute of public gratitude for the r.ew service
rendered by them to the country 111 insuring the triumph of the
national cause, and in securing the established order of things
against the attacks of the factious. I thank you for it, gentle-
men ; it is in this reciprocal confidence, and in this union of
all the powers of the state, that the depositaries of authority
can collect the moral force, the necessity of which you justly
acknowledge, in preserving us from the return of those dread-
ful agitations. We shall thus succeed in insuring the repose
and the prosperity of France ; and as to me, satisfied with
having answered the expectation of the nation, I shall enjoy
with happiness the affection of the country, a fresh proof of
which it is so gratifying to me to receive from you.

When the applause which followed the reading of
the King's answer had subsided, the Minister of the
Interior rose, and, by a Royal Ordinance, declared the
Chambers to be prorogued till the 29th of December,
1834. The Chamber of Deputies then rose and
adjourned accordingly at a quarter past two
o'clock, having terminated a sitting of half an hour !

So much for the news from Paris, which it must be
admitted has triteness, if nothing else, to recommena
it. As to the alarm about the danger of the cabinet
expressed in the Parisian journals, and the wonder
with which the correspondents of our morning eon-
temporaries view these matters, we can only observe
that we just see as little reason as ever we did for
making a single observation on the subject. It is very
silly indeed to be spreading reports about the Cabinet
being censured in an address, every word of which is
fresh in the memory of the public, and every sentence
of which contradicts such statements. The address
was a very loyal, submissive, no-meaning document,
and the way in which the King received it showed
that his Majesty was entirely of our opinion.

The only intelligence from Spain, except some dis
cussions among parties in Madrid about the new finan-
cial project for the management of the national debt,
will be found in our extracts from tile French papers.
If the Indicateur of Bordeaux is to be relied upon,
Don CARLOS has nearly ended his career by this time.
We expect arrivals from Spain every moment, and
shall therefore wait till to-morrow the expression of
any opinion on questionable authority.

The amendment of the Poor Laws is a redeeming
measure of universal importance, for which the coun-
try is peculiarly beholden to the present Government.
We regret to Say, however, we cannot look back upon
the proceedings of the late session with unmingled
satisfaction. The Ministry were, no doubt, impeded
by windy speeches ; but, at the commencement of the
session, they suffered the ground to be taken by others
which ought to have been pre-occupied by themselves,
and, when once in possession, they ought not to have
suffered it to have been taken from them. We trust
this leading error will be redeemed, and that in the
vacation every Government measure. will be matured,
and every Government Bill prepared and settled, in
order that all its Bills- may be introduced immediately
,after the address is voted. The money Bills must
necessarily originate in the House of Commons, but
as many of the rest of the Bills as conveniently may
be, should be brought into the House of Peers, in
order that both Houses may be at work at the
same time on the public servic-?. The Peers, it is
true, have been hitherto untoward and nntractable.
But so is a colt, until it is broken. Many of their
Lordships may he incapable of feeling, and others of
them may sneer at the influence of public opinion ;
but, in due time, all of them will become sensible of
its weight. The manner, too, in which the amend-
ments made by the one House upon Bills have been
dealt with by the other, would seem not to augur
much of promise ; but, upon reflection, Members of
both Houses can hardly fail to become sensible that
their conduct, in this respect, has been like that of
spoiled children. Wherever there is the indulgence
of temper, there cannot be .the exercise of ;,idgment ;
and Members of both Houses will be -m,lde to feel
the truth of this apothegm, if they continue to yield
to the former.

England is thAv file petia4y• o. age.6of lli:orui
in Ireland, the consequences of which having been the
growthof centuries, cannot be cured without time.. But

for the main evil which afflicts Ireland, nothing hasbeen
done—we mean the want of employfnent -among the
bulk of the people. The distress of Ireland from this
cause is increased, by a state of things which arose in
the Highlands of Scotland at the close of the last,
and in the beginning of the present century—namely,
the turning small possessions into proper sized farms.
.Lord SIDMOUTFI'S Government had the wisdom of
devising a remedy for this evil. A Commission was
appointed by Act of Parliament, to hold its sittings
in Westminster, for making roads and bridges in the
Highlands, and the Caledonian Canal. So a similar
Commission should be appointed, to hold its sittings
in Westminster, for the drainage of the bogs in Ire-
land ; to whom might be entrusted the navigation of
the Shannon, and the making a communication be-
tween that noble river and the navigable lakes of Gal-
way, and also the superintendence of the roads of Ire-
land, and thus free her from one of the greatest of her
ellreS—naincly, Grand Jury Assessments, which are
laid upon the unfortunate tenant, who is made
to ascribe to tithe what presses upon him more severely
in the shape of these Grand Jury Assessments. Mr.
LYNCH moved for a Committee on these subjects, but
did not succeed. Inquiries, however, have been made as
to the navigation of the Shannon, and we trust that some
practically remedial measure will be introduced next
session for- Ireland. It is by opening sources of cm-
! pigment, and not by ministering to the idleness that
prevails, through the introduction of Poor Laws, that
sound relief is to be afforded to that country. Upon
this subject we beg leave to refer our readers to an ar-

title in the last number of the Edinburgh Review,.
Whoever is the author, it is written by a master-hand.
When so much is doing for the education of the
lower orders, we wish the public attention to be di-
rected to the education of the upper ranks, which is
execrably bad, both at our great public schools and
universities. We observe Mr.. Wu, Ks has given no-
tice of an address, which .he means to move 'next ses-
sion, " for returns from the Universities of Oxford
and Cambridge, and from the several Colleges and
HOls within the same, of the date of their founda-
tions, and of their respective founders and successive
benefactors, and of their respective dignitaries, officers,
professors, fellows, tutors, lecturers, scholars, and stu-
dents, and their several duties, privileges, stipends,
salaries, emoluments, and advantages, and of the
advantages; and of the emoluments, and es-
tates, and funds of every kind whatsoever,
possessed, held, enjoyed by each of them re-
spectively, with the present yearly produce and ac
teal -value thereof, and of the several purposes "and
objects for which they were respectively bestowed or
bequeathed and are held, and to which they are respec-
tively applied, including all advowsons and rights of
presentations to livings, or ecclesiastical benefices be-
longing to them ; together with copies of all charters
granted to them, and of all subsisting statutes and
general rules, orders, and regulations of both the said
Universities, and of the several Colleges and Halls with-
in the same, distinguishing the rules and ordinances as
to the religious observances and instruction therein."
We trust this address will be extended to our great
schools by name, and every school that has a special
visitor, which were excepted out of the Parliamentary
Inquiry concerning Charities. We find this sugges-
tion made in Mr. MUNDELL'S last publication, to
which we beg leave to refer Mr. WILKS. The former
is even of more importance than the latter ; for it has
been by improper interferences of the Legislature, that
the industry of the country has been put under fetters
which are the main cause of her present distress,
,and
which must be removed before that distress can be re-
lieved. We shall probably return to this subject, but
conclude for the present, with expressing our fervent
hope that something will be done for the relief of indus-
try next session.

Were the Clergy of the Established Church in
Ireland so far akin to cameleons as to be able to sub-
sist pretty comfortably on air, the great Protestant
Meeting in Dublin would afford them a seven years'
handsome maintenance. They will now know the
value of friends ; they have at last an excellent oppor-
tunity of testing the zeal of those mailed champions of
the Church, who have sent forth her praises, and
their own devotion to her cause, to the utter-
most ends of the earth. They are now, indeed,
in a situation when something more than mere words—
something less etherial than WINCHIL SEA'S abuse of
the Government, and RODEN'S rabid tirades against
the unoffending Catholics of Ireland, is required to
deliver them out of the pit which their titled defenders
have dug for them. The eyes of the clergy will be
soon opened, when want, like a garment, encircles them
on every side ; and when they find that the only relief
which they shall receive from those who pushed them
down the precipice in despite of the House of Commons,
is a spectacle such as gladdened the vision of the Dublin
Ascendancy Boys on Thursday last. They have now had
a sample of the relief which the Conservatives have in
store for them; for they may depend upon it, that
although the Peers were pleased, in the exercise
of 'their prerogative, to throw out the Tithe Bill
by proxies ; no proxies will be provided to repre-
sent the clergy, in bearing the calamities which
that measure will bring upon them. No one can
blame the -Ministry. for leaving the clergy to
the protection of those into whose arms they have
flung themselves. If they be better reconciled, as
they boast they are, to take their chance of what may
be gained by another tithe war in Ireland, rather than
accept eighty pounds, well paid, for a nominal hundred
which they have no means of recovering, why, let them
and welcome, but the Government will see the ruin which
they voluntarily bring upon► themselves shall not be
borne by deputy. The Catholics of Ireland have un-
dotibtedly 'no right" to be made the victims of Conser-
vative bigotry either in or out of Parliament—they are
deservedly as much the objects of the protection of Go-
vernment, as any of the titled personages by whom
they were denounced, and we are very sure that care
will be taken that they do not suffer the slightest in-
convenience from the twaddling of a few disappointed
political demagogues, who only declaim about the
Church for the purpose of raising an absurd clamour
against the Ministry.

We lament the unhappy state to which many of the
Irish Clergy are already reduced. We see ruin—utter
ruin—ruin without even the shadow of public sym-
pathy, suspended over them. But have they not
brought this upon themselves ? Have they not
leagued themselves against the King's Government—
boasted of their protection by a faction in the State—
and when the Tithe Bill was before Parliament—a
7-11 =.7i"'ire them eighty per cent. on property
equity they have not, and never had a
claim—did they not petition against what they un-
blushingly. dared to call an invasion of their rights ?

We blush to think that the ministers of the gospel
of peace could be guilty of such conduct. And the
Orange Conservatives too—the men who in days of
yore lauded all Governments as the images of Divine
authority—where has their boasted loyalty all flown to ?
Were they only loyal when the KING was head of a
faction ; and do they speak of arms and the field when
he declares himself the father of his people ?
