Henceforward we may regard the liberty of the
Press in France as legally abolished, for no resistance
to this measure can be expected to be made in the
Chamber of Peers. That noble assembly is composed
of the tools of the Government—of men bound neck
and heels to the regal chariot of Louts PH I L LIPPE.
The people of France must now look to themselves.

There is rio Bth r elomestic news of any moment in
the French Journals or stiiiddit The following notice
of the escape of PEPIN, the Ex-Captain of the Na-
tional Guard, and presumed accomplice of FIEsCHI,
is from the Monilear, having previously appeared in
the Journal de Paris

" M. Pepin, whom the police had oegeeded in capturing,
escaped this morning.. At midnight he had been taken from
the Conciergerie, to be present at a search that ries going to
be made in the house in which he lived. It is this search
ordered by M. Legonidec, and executed by the Commissary
of Police, Milliet, without due precaution, w high was followed
by the escape of the prisoner. The administration of the po-
lice, Which has no concern in the preliminary proceedingo, had
not even received any notice. Two officers only were present
at this operation, which took place in the night in the house of
Pepin. It was not difficult for the prisoner to find means of
escape in his own house. The Keeper of the Seals has taken
the business of conducting the preliminary proceedings out of
the hands of M. Legonidec. The Commissary of Police,
Milliet, has been at once dismissed from his office by the
Minister of the Interior. We said yesterday that the ser-
vant and cook of Pepin had been set at liberty; but Madame
Pepin, who was arrested at the same time, remains in prison.
The Journal des Debats, doubtless by way of affording some
crumbs of comfort for the escape of Pepin, informs us that M. Pas-
quier had caused him to undergo an examination which lasted six
hours."

A letter from Algiers of the 22d of August says the
cholera continues, especially among the Jews. From
the 10th of August, when it first appeared, to the 21st
inclusive, the number of dead was, Jews, 272, Moors,
80, Europeans, 69. The population is 8,000 Jews,
12,000 Musselmen, and 8,000 Europeans, of whom
not more than 4,000 are French. The state of the
military hospitals is much more deplorable ; the num-
ber of deaths in 11 days having been 850. The total
number of deaths up to that day was 1,271."
The KING has given a private audience to the
Count de SALES, the Sardinian Ambassador, who
presented a letter from his Sovereign, congratulating
his Majesty on the preservation of the lives of himself
and the Princes, his sons.

The German Papers received this morning contain
the most fulsome adulations of the political capacity of
King LOUIS PHILLIPPE. The abolition of the li-
berty of the Press is praised as a master-stroke of con-
summate policy. We leave the French to make their
own comments on the praises bestowed on their KING
by the petty despots of Germany.

The Times of this morning has copied from a Man-
chester Tory Paper the report of what is called a
" Meeting of the Operative Conservative Association
of Manchester," and it subjoins the following note and
extract :

" Upon this gratifying meeting, the Manchester Courier,
from whose columns we have borrowed the report, observes—

" It is with feelings of no ordinary satisfaction that we
refer to our report of the proceedings of the Manchester
Operative Conservative Association, on Monday evening last.
The speeches which were delivered on that occasion by our
humble fellow-townsmen will be perused with delight by all
who rejoice in the extension of sound principles, and in the
liberation of the working classes from the influence of political
quacks and revolutionary demagogues.' "
We congratulate the Times and its provincial ally
that they are so easily gratified. There are in Man-
chester about 50,000 Irish inhabitants ; of these a
small proportion are virulent Orangemen from the
North of Ireland, who have brought with them all the
ignorance, bigotry, and brutal violence which distin-
guish the faction in the North of Ireland. These men
walk in procession every 12th of July, insulting the
Catholics by their banners, and provided with fire-arms,
which on several occasions they have not scrupled to
use, as the records of succeeding Quarter Sessions
would prove. The Tories, " the poor man's friends,"
as they call themselves, having in vain attempted to
conciliate the Reformers amongst the working classes,
have had recourse to these men ; and the supper com-
memorated in the Times was nothing more than a
private, and to the Press, with the exception of the
Manchester Courier, A SECRET MEETING OF THE
ORANGE LODGES ! Comment is unnecessary.

Letters and papers from Madrid to August the 23rd
have been received. The capital was then tranquil.
The following Royal Decree appears in the Abeja, a
Ministerial Journal:---

" Taking into consideration the representation made to me
by the Council of Ministers upon the censure of journals, I
have ordained the following :—First, the censors who had
hitherto been individually entrusted with the examination of
journals published in this capital shall henceforth form a
Committee, which shall meet daily for the examination of
them. Secondly, the Committee shall in future be alone
responsible for all that shall be published in the journals,
except when after the censure the writer or editor shall in-
sert non-censured articles exciting to hatred and contempt of
the Government. In such case the writers and editors shall
alone be responsible, and the journal shall be suspended,
agreeably to preceding regulations. Thirdly, the Govern-
ment, conformably to those regulations, shall, if it be deemed
necessary, suppress any journal, according to the extraordinary
circumstances of the moment. Fourthly, the regulations and
provisions now in force respectinr, printers, as well as jour-
nals, shall continue to be executed in all such provisions as
are not contrary to the present Decree.

PARLIAMENTARY SUMAIA.RY.

In the Loans' the Royal Assent was given (by Commission)
to several Bill ; others were brought up from the Commons,
and various petitions were presented. The second reading of
the Dublin Police Bills, led to some skirmishing. After hav-
ing committed the Bill for abolishing punishment by death for
stealing from a letter, and advanced several other Bills a
stage, their Lordships adjourned.
In the COMMONS' a great many petitions, chiefly in favour
of Municipal Reform, were presented. Lord JOHN RUSSELL
then explained the course Ministers had determined to adopt
in reference to the Lords' amendments on that measure. It
is not our design, in this part of our paper, to enter upon an
analysis of his Lordship's address, or to notice at any length
the important debate that ensued. By referring to our report
of the discussion, it will be seen that some of the Lords' " amend-
ments," technically so called, were met by a decided resistance
on the part of Ministers ; others we►e shaped out so as in some
sort to satisfy both branches of the legislature. To these latter,
the extreme or least compromising party objected. Lord JOHN
RUSSELL commented on the several clauses as amended, giv-
ing to each as much importance as was due to it, according
to Ministers' estimation. In reference to those of the Lords'
amendments which he thought wholly inadmissible, his Lord-
ship " thought that the perpetuity of town-clerks, irremovable
by, and irresponsible to, the council, would produce nothing
but discord. He thought, also, it was contrary to the preamble
in which the Bill originally set out, and as in the case of the
aldermen so in the case of the town-clerks, the House ought
not to make any compromise whatever. The same thing he
might say with respect to the corporate justices, whom the
amendments of the other House would convert into justices
for life. The same principle equally applied to each of the
three cases. If the existing justices had by their conduct in
the discharge of their magisterial duties entitled themselves
to the confidence of their fellow-citizens, no doubt their con-
tinuance in that capacity would be recommended by the
council, and confirmed by the Crown. He was prepared to
ask the House not to sanction the amendments of the Lords
in regard to the claims in question, and he felt quite con-
fident that the majority of the House would go along with
him in thinking no alternative was left open to his choice."
With respect to the election of aldermen for life, he proposed
as an amendment to the Lords' proposition, that there should
be a body of the same number as that therein named, of which
one-third to be chosen by the council should remain in office
for a period of six years. Half should go out at the end of
every three years, so that in effect there should every three
years be an election to the six years division. On a division,
his Lordship's amendment was carried. Upon the clause pro-
viding for the division of the towns into wards, an amendment
was moved by Major BEAUCLERK, and supported by Mr. WAR-
BURTON. Lord J. RUSSELL did not sanction the proposition,
and it was negatived by the House. The further proceedings
on the alterations made by the Lords were adjourned till
this day.

Yesterday, the Duke of Nemours and a party un-
expectedly visited the Thames Tunnel. A committee of the
Directors and Mr. Brunel were present, and conducted the
party over the works, the Duke entering the shield. His
Royal Highness expressed his surprise at the boldness of the
undertaking. The whole party was highly gratified at the
inspections of the tunnel.
