FRENCH PAPERS.

( From the Papers of Thursday. )'
The Memorial des . Pyrenees of Pau of the end instant
states, that the Prefect of the Lower Pyrenees has left Pau for
Bayonne. He is said to be charged with a mission through-
out the whole extent of the frontier, on account of the state of
the Peninsula, and will probably be absent 15 days from the
Prefecture. The same paper says—" A letter received this
instant from the frontier, states that reports of intervention
prevail through the whole line. General Harispe, who has
postponed his departure for Paris, will provisionally establish
his head-quarters at St. Jean de Luz. New troops are said
to be on the march. Two Spaniards and a Frenchman have
been arrested on the frontier, in the act of attempting to pass
into Spain. They are supposed to be persons of distinction,
as they offered to the guard which effected their capture a
considerable sum of money for their release."

The Indicateur of Bordeaux of the 4th instant, gives the
following from St. Jean de Luz of the 2d :—" We are en-
tirely deprived of news from Spain by direct channels. We
learn by private correspondence some details of the battle
which took place in the environs of Aranaz a Huerta-Araquil.
A band of insurgents, headed by Zumalacarreguy in person,
was attacked by a regiment of the Queen's troops. As soon
as the attack commenced, the rebels retreated, leaving on the
field of action 70 kil!ed, and numbers wounded. The greatest
discouragement pervades their ranks; they experience every
sort of privation, both of provisions and ammunition, and many
have deserted. They are hourly expected to take refuge on
the French territory."
Extract of a private letter from Madrid of the 29th ult. :
« The cholera is no longer the general topic of conversation,
the public mind being occupied with the affairs of Navarre,
and the uncertainty as to the disposition of the Chamber of
Procuradores. Some persons maintain that it will declare
itself a Constituent Assembly ; but this is unlikely, for M. de
Toreno continues to have great influence over it. We have
had no news from the northern provinces since the evening of
the 22d. The conspirators will be treated with gradations of
punishment in proportion to the extent to which they each
wished to disturb public order. Upper Catalonia has shown
an inclination to revolt, but General Llauder will no doubt
find means to reduce it to submission."

Another letter from Madrid of the same date says—" The
sittings of the Cortes have hitherto been without interest.
The Chamber of the Proceres will to-day or to-morrow open
the debate on the address in answer to the speech from the
throne. The Procuradores have been waiting for the nomi-
nation of their President from the list of candidates presented
to the Queen-Regent, whose choice has fallen upon the Count
d'Almadovar, who was for ten years an emigrant from his
country. It is certain that a large majority of this Chamber
is resolved to support the Government, and act under its di-
rection. Notwithstanding the pompous predictions of the
Gazette de France, and other legitimist journals, the whole
army remains faithful, and shows the utmost devotedness, and
the population of the country beyond the Ebro remains quiet.
The famous conspiracy will soon be buried in oblivion.
There are many moral proofs against the conspirators, but no
positive evidence. General Palafox, if not already at liberty,
soon will be so. General Van Halen will be sent out of Spain.
The cholera has greatly subsided. There have been very few
new cases during the last few days. All the sanatory cordons
are, it is said, to be removed."

The Madrid Gazette of the 29th ult., which has reached
us, contains no intelligence of high importance. The Queen
Regent has gone to Rio Frio, where she is performing qua-
rantine before she returns to her daughters at St. Ildefonso.
At the sitting of the Chamber of Proceres on the 28th, the
Committee for examining the documents presented by the
members made a report declaring the validity of the titles of
several of them, who immediately took the oath and their
seats. Letters from several other members were read, excus-
ing their non-attendance on the ground of illness and other
impediments, and amongst them was one from General Mar-
tinez de San Martin, late Captain-General of Madrid, an-
nouncing that he could not enter the Chamber until the legal
investigation demanded by himself as to his conduct during the
events of the 17th had been brought to a conclusion. The
President of the Committee for drawing up the answer to the
speech from the Throne announced that it had not yet com-
pleted its task. The President of the Council of Ministers
laid before the assembly a letter from the Count de Guendu-
lain, one of the Proceres, stating that he was ready to leave
Pampeluna for Madrid, but his journey was suspended by order
of General Rodil, the Commander-in-Chief, on account of the
difficulty in reaching the opposite side of the Ebro, without
running great danger or having a very strong escort.
The Augsbury Gazette of the 3d instant states that Count
Lucchesi Palli arrived in Vienna during the preceding week,
and immediately set out for Baden, He aftprwards returned
to Vienna, and was to take his departure immediately for
Brandeis. The Gazette quotes the funds at Vienna on the
29th ult, Metalliques, 5 per Cents., 97 7-16 ; ditto 4 per
Cents., 874- ; Bank Actions, 1,228.
The Berlin State Gazette of the 31st ult. quotes the Pru-
ssian Funds at 98/ 994.
At the sitting of the Helvetic Diet on the 31st ult., it ap-
peared that the expences of the measure for repressing the rash
enterprise of Schwytz Int6rieur, and of the expedition of Aby-
berg to Kussnacht, amounted to nearly 400,000 f. Swiss cur-
rency. The Federal Assembly decided upon principle that
Schwytz ought to pay the whole of the expenses of its occupa-
tion, because it had raised a civil war in the country, but in
the spirit of good federalism, three-fourths of the amount
should be remitted. At the sitting of the Ist instant, the can-
tons acceded to the treaties for abolishing the Droits de Re-
traction, and the import and export duties made with the king-
dom of Hanover, the Hanse Towns, and North America. The
Diet recommended the Directory to continue the negotiations
on the same subject with the Netherlands, the Duchy of Saxe
Meiningen, the Duchy of Modena, Austria, and Spain.
Accounts from Stockholm of the 24th ult. state that Prince
William, son of the Prince of Orange, arrived on the pre-
ceding day in that port, on board the line-of-battle ship
Zeeuw, from St. Petersburgh. On casting anchor before the
fortresses, he received the customary royal salutes, and was
attended to the place of landing by the Swedish Vice-Admiral
Coyet. The King's first aide-de-camp, accompanied by the
Commandant and Governor of Stockholm, and Chamberlain of
the Crown Prince, was in readiness to receive his Royal High-
ness. The young Prince has taken up his abode in the King's
palace, and purposes to remain several days in the capital.
The Maritime Prefect of Toulon received orders by tele-
graph, on the 31st ultimo to prepare the frigate Victoire and
the brigs Eclipse and Sylph, to proceed to the coast of Spain
within twenty-four hours. They are to be under the command
of the captain of the Victoire, and it is believed that they will
enter the port of Corunna. The Levant squadron is also pre-
paring to sail. It is composed of the Suffren, of 100 guns, the
Duquesne, of 80, the Nestor, of 74, the Triton, of 74, the
frigates Didon, of 60, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Mas-
sieu de Clerval, the Bellone, of 44, and the sloop the Lam-
proie, of 12 guns. On the Ist instant all their preparations
were completed. The roadstead is covered with boats con-
veying provisions and men, and never presented a more busy
scene. Orders have also been received for fitting out imme-
diately the frigate Arniide.

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.-SITTING OF Am. 7.

M. Bedoch in the chair.

After the reading of the minutes of the sitting of yesterday,
M. Viennet addressed a few words to the Chamber, com-
plaining of inaccuracies in the reports published by certain
journals of the remarks which had fallen from him towards the
close of the previous sitting. The Hon. Deputy declared
his opinion that the reporters of the journals in question
seemed to have no other object than to distort the meaninr, of
what might be said by the Members who addressed the Cam-
ber.—( Cries of " No, no," from several benches.)
The minutes of the sitting of yesterday were then adopted.
M. Carlo!, previously admitted, took the oath.
Admitted—Messrs. Gaetan de la Rochefoucauld, and
Joibert.

The election of M. Duchatel (Minister of Commerce),
named for the town of Marennes, department of Lower Cha-
rente, was opposed on the ground of undue influence alleged
to have been exercised over the election by the Sub-Prefect
of Marennes. M. Duchatel had obtained a majority of only
one vote over his opponent, M. Senne.
In bringing up a report on this election, M. Jars stated that
the standing committee whom he represented expressed their
disapprobation of the Sub- Prefect's interference, and concluded
by proposing the admission of M. Duchatel.
M. lierbette thought that the expression of disapproba-
tion was not sufficient, and that the election ought to be an-
nulled, as it was impossible to believe that Ministerial ma-
noeuvring could not have succeeded in influencing at least one
vote, the majority which M. Duchatel had obtained.
The Minister of the Interior thought the present moment
unsuitable for the discussion of the maxims of Government in
regard to election questions; he would therefore limit himself
to a brief explanation with respect to the allegations of M.
L' Herbette. The Minister then proceeded to state, that the
Sub-Prefect had been calumniated, and that in writing a cer-
tain letter which the Opposition had made the subject of their
attack, he had merely exercised his right of answering the ca-
lumny-_a right which every citizen enjoyed.
After some further discussion the admission of M. Duchatel
was put to the vote and carried.
Mr. Berryer junior, who had been named in five different
colleges, was opposed with regard to his election for the de-
partment of the Upper Loire on the ground of the following
irregularity :—Two of the electors had voted in the
place of their father lately deceased, but the sons, as it ap-
peared, had not been regularly inscribed on the electoral lists.
—Election annulled.
The ballot was then commenced for the election of the Pre-
sident of the Chamber.

LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 9, 1834.

The House of Lords, on the motion of the LORD
CHANCELLOR, has rejected the proposition of the
Commons to give publicity to proceedings in Coro-
ners' Courts, thereby leaving to every Coroner the
power of closing the doors of the inquest-room against
the public, as it may suit his whim, caprice, or per-
sonal feelings. Such a decision is greatly to be re-
gretted; coming as it does at a period of the Session when
the Lords have rejected so many important measures
agreed to by great majorities in the Commons, and ground-
ed on arguments which, if they are good for any thing,
are equally opposed to the practice of every law court
and every criminal court in the kingdom. The argu-
ments are, that by declaring the Coroner's Court
open, justice may be defeated, and public decency out-
raged. And may not justice be defeated by a secret
inquisition ? May not the Coroner, by refusing to
put questions, favour one party to the prejudice of
the other ? And is any fact better ascertained
than this, that by publishing the proceedings at Police
Offices public attention is attracted to the enquiry, and
the most material evidence brought forward which, but
for the publicity, never would have been heard of ?
For the same reason the Court of King's Bench, and
the Sessions of the Old Bailey ought not to be open
courts. Are no disclosures made on the examination
and cross-examination of witnesses which affect
a third Party— who, in the words of the LORD
CHANCELLOR may say, " I know that this ex-
amination will lead to another, and a person
now mentioned who knows that I am guilty will be
brought forward"—and would he not immediately ab-
scond ? Proceedings in this court are not necessarily
final. There is no law or practice which can screen
a man from the effects of evidence prejudicial to him
more in the one court than in the other. It is con-
tended also, that these courts ought not to be
open, because there are cases in which the i►iquiry
may expose persons not directly connected with
them ? Are the Lords so . ignorant as not to
know that this occurs almost daily in every open
Court in the kingdom ? As to " outraging public
decency," this argument is even more futile and more
inconsistent. If public decency is outraged from the
simple fact that Courts are open, why do the Judges,
the guardians of public morals, not order the doors of
the Court to be closed on all trials for criminal con-
versation, and for abominable offences ? Are not on
these occasions the grossest crimes and the most re-
volting scenes laid open to the public eye ? yet no Judge
in these days would venture to exclude the public. Did
any trial ever more outrage public decency than a
public trial, in which the LORD CHANCELLOR him-
self was one of the leading counsel ? But it is su-
perfluous to argue the point. It is our conscientious
and firm opinion that the Lords have rejected this im-
portant measure in opposition to the feelings of the
great body of the people, and on arguments which
will not bear the test of reason. By so doing, they
had added another drop to the cup of public bitter-
ness, and have afforded the House of Commons an-
other opportunity of showing next session how much
they sympathize with the wishes and wants of their
constituents. •

The Lords, last night, passed that great measure—
the Poor Laws' Amendment Bill—without a division •
and by Monday, or perhaps this day, it will become
the law of the land. In many points the original Bill has

been much improved, and in none more than in the bas-
tardy clauses. As they originally stood they were revolt-
ing to reason, justice, and humanity—they were opposed
by a great majority in the Commons, and by a still
greater majority in the Lords—indeed so strong was
the feeling of that Blase against them, that, but for
the amendment of the Duke of WELLINGTON, the
Nesent bastardy laws, with all their abuses, and
all their • absurdities, would have been allowed for
another season to disgrace the Statute-hook. The Duke
of WELLINGTON, on this occasion, has acte4!4 wise,
a just, and a humane part, and the public will not
be backward in acknowledging it. We confidently
hope that the rancorous opposition hitherto displayed
by some against every principle of the Bill, will now
cease, and that for the sake of the poor, as well as
the rich, it will have a fair trial.

Towards the close of the discussions in the House
of Commons last night, Mr. Hum E—as he did last
Session—took the opportunity of expounding his view
of the course of domestic policy which Ministers
ought to pursue. After stating that the claims of the
Dissenters should receive their fullest and most willing
attention, the Hon. Member went on to say that a
saving should be effected in the collection of the Re-
venue, by the consolidation of the departments of cus-
toms, excise and stamps, and more especially that the
army and navy should be reduced. To these remarks
Lord ALTHORP replied that he was favourable to
the consolidation of offices, and that with respect to
the other matters of Reform, Ministeri would no for
an instant lose sight of them, but would do their
,:hest
to show themselves worthy of the respect and confi-
dence of the country. His Lordship's speech was
highly satisfactory, and marked by his usual manly
candour and straightforwardness.

We marvel that the Government should have taken
upon itself Sir EDWARD KNATCIIBULL'S Beer Bill.
We cannot understand how beer-shops should be
more mischievous than public-houses, or why a cla-
mour should have been raised against the one, and not
against the other. But we are in some measure recon-
ciled to this Bill, by its allowing, for the first time,
beer to be sold in retail, not to be consumed on the
premises, upon a license, for which only one-half of
the sum is to be paid that was formerly required, and
at one-third of the duty now to be paid by sellers of
beer by retail to be consumed on the premises. Never-
theless,
we are at a loss to understand why any license
at all should be required to sell beer by retail, not to
be consumed upon the premises, or why beer should
not be sold by retail as freely as bread and cheese are
sold by retail, not to be consumed on the premises.
But the Bill concludes with a provision, that l'oothino-
therein contained, except the power given to constables
and other peace-officers, shall extend to the cities of
London and Westminster, or to any parish or place
within the bills of mortality, or to any city, town cor-
porate, or town returning members to Parliament in
which the population to be determined according to
the last Parliamentary returns that shall have
been taken, shall exceed five thousand. If the
provisions of the Bill are fit for places with
a smaller population than five thousand, we can-
not understand why they should not be proper in
places with a larger population. Above all, we can-
not understand why beer should not be allowed to be
sold in retail—not to be consumed upon the premises
in large as well as small places—or why the monopoly
either of public-houses or of beer-shops should be
preserved in large places. It is unquestionablz as de-
sirable to poor persons in large places that they should
be enabled to have beer in small quantities to consume
at home, as it is to poor persons in small places ; and
most assuredly if 3/. 3s. are to be paid in small places,
there can be no reason whatever why 3/. 3s. should not
be paid in large places for a license to sell beer that
is to be consumed on the premises. We therefore think
there must be some mistake in this provision in the
Bill, as it has been reprinted after having been
amended in the committee of Commons ; and we trust
it will- be corrected in the House of Peers, where the
Bill now is.

We have this morning received an express from
Madrid, dated the 30th of July. There was nothing
of any particular interest then going on in the Cham-
bers, nor did the authorities there know more
than
we have repeatedly stated respecting the termination
of the warfare in the provinces. There were
a number of persons of the best means of in-
formation in Madrid, who continued to assert that Don
CARLOS was not in Spain, and that the persona-
tion of him was by a barber, to whom the Prince
was known to bear a strong resemblance. It does not
appear to us that there is any truth in this. The
Prince must be in Spain, though his presence just
now is most injurious to his own cause ; as his
move-
ments are more tardy, and easier of discovery, than
well befits his shattered fortunes.

The Madrid Correspondent of a Morning Paper,
generally well-informed on the state of affairs in
Spain, states that there is a project on foot among
the Ministry to reduce the public debt, by break-
ing credit with the foreign bondholder, though
it is not intended to interfere in the slightest
degree with the native creditor. We are certain, that
there a great mistake here ; indeed we are sure that
no such project has been contemplated by any member
of the Cortes. The resources of Spain, burthened
as she is, are amply sufficient to meet all immediate
claims on her, without having recourse to the dishonest
expedient of committing a base fraud on her foreign
allies. Besides we know that Spain dare not. attempt
such a thing with England, her principal 'foreign
creditor, at the instant she is about to raise another
loan ; nor would any Minister who was not absolutely
insane have the folly to think of it.
In our extracts from the French Papers are con-
tained all that is worth consideration in the arrivals
from Paris. We are in hourly expectation of learning
the arrival of the Ambassador entrusted ivith the
Sublime Porte's polite request to the Citizen King,
for the restoration of Algiers. As the favour sought
is rather an extraordinary one, as well as the fact of the
brother of the Sun, and celestial relative of their twink-
ling Highnesses the Stars, deigning the honour of an
embassy to the Court of a Royal Infidel, we wait with
some anxiety the answer of Louis PHILIPPE. His
Majestl must be sensible that the whole is another of
Russia s tricks, and we trust he will so acquit himself
in the business to convince the DIVAN, that France
will not be wheedled out of her conquests by Russian
diplomacy.

The German Papers have all been received, with
the Petersburg Gazette of the 26th of July. The
latter contains a very full account of the conflagration
which destroyed Tula, a very large, populous, and
handsome provincial capital in Russia, of which re-
ports have already appeared in The Sun and several
other London Papers. The accident arose from the
ignition of some combustible substance, which fired a
private house, and though it was at three o'clock in the
afternoon, such was the violence with which the wind

blew; that-in a few hours the whole city was in flames,
Some idea may be formed of the loss sustained, from
the fact that nine churches and six hundred and
seventy other buildings, public and private, were re-
duced to a mass of ruins. Subscriptions have already
been set on -foot for the sufferers, towards which the
Emperor is stated to have given ten thousand rubles.
The Journal de St. Petersburg of the 30th ult.,
informs us that the EMPEROR has been pleased to
bestow on Captain Ross the Order of St. Anne of
the Second Class; i►► diamonds.

Arrivals from Hamburg of the sth inst. bring in-
telligence that the Lightning English steam-boat,
Captain ALLEN, arrived there that morning with
Mince LIEVEN and family.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL-(THIS DAY.)

ADDRESS TO EARL GREY ON.HIS RETIRE-

MEN T FROM OFFICE,

A Special Court of Common Council was held this day, for the
purpose of considering the propriety of addressing Earl Grey, on his
retirement from the high office of Prime Minister. The Lord
Mayor arrived precisely at twelve o'clock, and opened the business.
Mr. Richard Taylor then moved the following resolution :
" Resolved—That this Court, entertaining a deep sense of the
exalted virtues and talents which have been conspicuous in the
character of the Right Honourable Earl Grey throughout a life
devoted to the best interests of his country, and of all mankind,
and impressed with the sincerest gratitude for the great and lasting
benefits conferred upon the British empire, under his able and en-
lightened Administration, do present an Address to his Lordship,
expressive of those sentiments upon the occasion of his retirement
from the high office of First Minister of the Crown.
Mr. Heppel seconded the motion.
The following is a copy of the Address :
MY LORD GREY—As a nation can have no possession more
valuable than the character and honour of its public men, so there
is no duty more incumbent on her citizens, or more delightful, than
the free and cordial expression of those sentiments of gratitude and
respect with which all must contemplate the example of great
talents, steadily and zealously devoted through a long life to the
noblest purposes of public usefulness.
It is with these feelings, my Lord, that the Lord Mayor, Alder-
men, and Commons of the City of London, in Common Council
assembled, are anxious to offer to your Lordship the tribute of their
deep gratitude and affectionate regard, upon the occasion of your
retirement from the high office of First Minister of the Crown.

In the most imperfect view which can be taken of your Lord-
ship's services, whether Parliamentary or Alinisterial, we cannot
fail to recognise in all the varying circumstances of a long and
eventful period of our history, the same ardent attachment to the
free constitution of our country, and jealousy of every attempted
encroachment upon it, and earnest desire for its restoration—the
same zeal for the just rights of mankind, both at home and in every
quarter of the globe—the same love of peace, and devotion to the
cause of civil and religious liberty.
Whether engaged in opposing a system of policy which you
deemed to be pernicious, or in aidingor directing the counsels of
your sovereign, both when you have declined office and when you
have accepted it, the course which you have steadily pursued, and
the enlightened principles which you have ably inculcated, have left
upon our minds the firm and lasting conviction, justified by the
uniform tenour of a long public life, that its grand object has been
the welfare of your country and of mankind.
For the unspeakable benefits which you have conferred on your
countrymen by the wisdom and firmness with which you directed
their efforts for obtaining Parliamentary Reform, under the sanction
of a beneficent Sovereign, whose full confidence you have deservedly
enjoyed, we have on a former occasion expressed to your Lordship
our heartfelt thanks, and we most gratefully acknowledge the pro-
gress made under your Administration, notwithstanding many cir-
cumstances of difficulty and discouragement toward securing to the
country the fruits of that great renovation of the Constitution, by
a succession of highly important measures of improvement already
effected or in preparation.
We feel a confident hope, my Lord, that although you have re-
tired from the care and labour of your high and responsible office,
you will still continue to take a deep interest in those important
objects, to the promotion of which your life has been devoted.
We are anxious to assure you that you will carry with you in
your retirement our lasting gratitude and veneration, and we pray
that you may long enjoy the high satisfaction of having largely con-
tributed to the welfare of your country, and of witnessing the happy
influence of that enlightened and liberal Monarch, under the
guidance of whom you have assisted in conferring lasting benefits
upon mankind. _

The Address was carried without a single hand being raised in
opposition, and it was agreed that a deputation, consisting of the
Lord Mayor, the Aldermen present, the Sheriffs, and ten Com-
moners, should present the same.

poems of Parny.
A report is very prevalent that W. Stuart, Esq.,
Recorder for this borough, will shortly retire from the repre-

to say, is the alleged cause.—Oxford Journal.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT,

THIS DAY, SATURDAY, AUGUST 9.

HOUSE OF LORDS.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack at one
o'clock. After prayers had been read by the Bishop of lIEREFonn,
Mr. BERNAL and others, from the Commons, brought up the
Consolidated Fund ( Appropriation) Bill, the Exchequer Bills Bill,
the Bank Debt Bill, the Starch, and other Duties' Repeal Bill,
&c., which were severally read a first time.
On the motion of the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, it was ordered
that it might remain open to Noble Lords to enter their protest
upon the Journals of the House against the third reading of the
Poor Laws' Amendment Bill, till the rising of the House on Mon-
day. The Bills on the table were then forwarded a stage, when the
Lord Chancellor took his seat at the table in order to hear an appeal.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he appeared as counsel in the
case along with his Learned Friend (the Lord Advocate) and he
must now beg their Lordship? decision upon the point so long in
dispute between him and his Learned Friend's predecessor.
The Loan AnvocATE, in answer to the Lord Chancellor, said
he had not yet had time to consider the point, and would stand upon
his predecessor's arguments.
The LORD CHANCELLOR then said he would recommend
their Lordships to decide that the Attorney-General should have
precedence at the Bar of that House. After instancing the
case of a criminal information filed in the King's Bench, where
the Attorney-General obtained a judgment, and it was afterwards
brought to that House by appeal—how absurd it would be that in
his own case the Attorney-General should be led by the Lord Ad-
vocate—he moved the House that the Attorney-General should
have precedence in all causes in that House, and in every other
Imperial Court in England.—Agreed to.
The appeal was then opened by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL, who
was addressing the House when we went to press.
