nearly seven o'clock We hope he will not "shiver"
or " perspire" again till this question is disposed of.

We have received German Papers, but there is not
a line in them of any interest to the English reader.
The Allgemeine Zeilung contains a long article, com-
plaining of the false and distorted statements respect-
ing Germany, its Princes, its principles, and its insti-
tutions; put forth by the Parisian Journalists. The
writer maintains that even granting that the French
Journalist, had no wish to, represent Austria other
than it really is, yet that their situation, habits, and
opinions disqualify them for properly appreciating the
feelings of the people of Germany. This article will
not fail to produce considerable irritation among the
public writers of France.

We have received the whole of the Paris papers of
Thursday, with intelligence from Bayonne and Madrid.
The project of law for fixing the responsibility of Mi-
nisters has not yet been disposed of, and it was sup-
posed that several days would have elapsed before all
its provisions would be modelled, so as to meet the
approbation of the Chamber. Nor does it appear to
us at dll likely, from the discussions which have al,
ready taken place upon it, that the new law will afford
the slightest protection to the public. One clause of
the projected law, decrees that no Minister can be
impeached in a Court of Justice, until the KING shall
have published a Royal Ordinance, drawn up by ad-
vice of a Council of State, authorising, or rather
permitting such impeachment. Now this clause is
-completely at variance with the spirit of Ministerial
responsibility, which is rather intended to operate as
a wholesome check upon the conduct of the. SOVE-
REIGN than to punish the individual acts of his Mi-
nisters. The only reason that can be assigned for
throwing so many obstacles in the way of the prosecu-
tor of the servants of the Crown, is a desire to pre-
vent vexatious litigation ; and surely this could be
equally well effected by double or treble costs, where
the rectitude of the plaintiff's motives could be called
in question. It ought not to be forgotten, however,
that the law for rendering Ministers responsible, is
to extend to the whole of the great functionaries of
the Executive, including the Prefects of Departments.
Several of the Deputies have advocated the adoption
of a plan of prosecuting by means of a Committee,
appointed for the purpose. This seems to us the
safest and most efficient mode, and there is some rea-
son to suppose that it will ultimately form the principal
Article of the proposed law.

, The period fixed for the imprisonment of M. CAR-
REL, the principal Editor of the National, expired yes-
terday. This is no trifling source of annoyance to the
KING, his Ministers, and the Chamber of Peers,
whose authority as a Criminal Court he so indignantly
denounced. Meanwhile, the spies and inferior agents
of the Government are doing all they can to excite
such treasonable suspicions as may throw a colour of
justice on the proceedings of the Peers. Plots are
talked of, and hints are thrown out respecting midnight
meetings, and secret associations in the Capital. Of
course some wonderful discoveries will be made
also ; for when a Government resolves to discover
treason it generally meets with most miracu-
lous success. But all will not do. The public is
sensible -of the trickery of the Court. The people
know that the only traitors are the police, and that
they are handsomely remunerated for their treason.
Several of the Peers, too, declare themselves opposed
to the trials, and others have retired to the provinces
in order not to be present. Prince TA LL EYRAND is
among the former, and his influence is very consider-
able. The Ministry knows not what to do, surrounded
by so many obstacles.

The intelligence received from Bayonne and Madrid,
is not satisfactory. The Spanish Government seems
to regard the insurrection in the North as more im -
portant than it could be prevailed upon to do some six
months past, and has transmitted orders to its Am-
bassador at London to. purchase 70,000 muskets for
the use-of the Urban Militia. The rumour of a Noble
Lord having been sent by the British Government with
instructions to DON CARLOS., praying him to spare
the merciless effusion of human blood, by withdrawing
from the hopeless struggle in which he is engaged, is
confirmed by accounts received this morning from
Bayonne. It is further reported that DON CARLOS
has refused to accede to these instructions. A journal
devoted to the Usurper's cause is about to be published
at Bayonne.

By the arrival of the Shakspeare at Liverpool from
Para, on Thursday evening, we have received further
accounts of the insurrection which broke out in that
city about the beginning of January. Our readers will
remember that in alluding to it on a former occasion,
we spoke of it as an idle ebullition of political feeling.
The following extract from a private letter will show
how greatly we under-rated its real importance. The
Shakspeare sailed from Para on the 16th of February.
All was then tranquil :

" PARA, FEB. 15., 1835.—Since I wrote to you last, we
have had dreadful times in Para. On the 7th of January, an
insurrection broke out in this city, which began at three
o'clock in the morning, by the soldiers at their barracks
shooting their off►cers.
" Being joined by the malcontents from the river Acarail
they proceeded to murder the President and the Military
Governor, also Captain Inglis, of the Brazilian corvette
Defcusora.
" They then proceeded to' open all the public prisons, and
release the prisoners, many of whom were confined for serious
crimes. Thus strengthened, they proceeded to massacre every
person likely to oppose their infathous designs. The scenes
which followed were truly awful ; people were carried off in
cart loads to their graves, or rather trenches, for there was
little time left to dig separate graves. I assisted at the inter-
ment of Captain Inglis in our British burial-ground, and for
the first time in my life saw dead bodies piled .in heaps for
interment."

The Canton Register, to the 10th of December,
has been received. Its contents are not important.
No attempt is made to trace the probable efFects of the
late collision between the British troops and the Go-
vernment of the Celestial Empire. The Court at
Pekin has manifested its displeasure of the conduct of
the Governor Loo, by depriving him of his peacock's
feather ; but the exact part of the Governor's conduct
which gave offence to the EMPEROR is altogether un-
known.

Demerara Papers to the 20th of February have
been received. They represent the operation of the
Law for the Abolition of Slavery as highly injurious
to the interests of the owners and planters generally.
The slaves are reported to be incorrigible, and to re-
fuse working. But these statements must be received
with caution, as these Journals are notoriously opposed
to the whole principle of the Emancipation Act. On
the 14th of February the slaves on the estate La
Penitence refused to work. The owner called a dis-
trict Court, composed of four Magistrates—GEOßGE
Ross, J. A. HoLmus, J. KOET, and PETER ROSE,
Esqrs., by whom four of the men charged as ring-
leaders of the rioters were sentenced to receive 39
lashes each. The sentence was immediately carried
into execution ; but so incensed was his Excellency
the GOVERNOR at this mode of administering justice,
that he immediately discharged Messrs. ROSE and
Ross from the Commission of the Peace. The
prompt interference of the GOVERNOR gave the
greatest satisfaction to the Slave population, who are
thus encouraged to look up to him for justice and pro-
