FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Nouvelliste. of Nov. IS, received this morning.)
Yesterday, at two o'clock, the Peers in Paris assembled
at the Luxemburg, to be present at the drawing of lots for
the twelve Members who are to compose the deputation
which is to meet his Majesty upon the opening of the
Chambers. The lots fell upon the following Peers
The Comte de Pascher, the Comte de Bondy, the Comte
Caffarelli, the Comte Clement de Ris, the Comte Simeon,
the Comte de Segur, the Comte Excelmans, Vice Admiral
Comte Emerian, the Baron Moonier, the Comte Guille-
minot, the Comte de Montesquiou, and the Comte de la
Rochefoucault. The Comte Germany, the Duke de
Marla, and the Baron de Lascours, have been appointed
to supply the places of the Members of the deputation who
may not be able to be present at the Royal sitting.
A young French officer, in the service of Donna Maria,
writes thus on the 31st of October :—" The Miguelites no
longer attack us ; they refuse to begin a new assault, say-
ing they will not be led to a slaughter-house. Insubor-
dination is at its height in their camp, and their chiefs,
despairing of making theinselvea obeyed, have at length
abandoned the offensive. We are let off at present with
some shells and balls, which they send us from time to
time, and which produce no great effect. Our army
(that of Don Pedro), is, on the contrary, very fine, well-
disciplined, and is recruited every day by reinforcements
from England and France. The day before yesterday
560 English landed, and the arrival of SOO French
is announced. In short our position becomes every
day better, and I have hopes we shall be at Lisbon
on the Ist of January, 1833. Within about a month we
have received a reinforcement of 1,500 men. In a short
time the army of Don Miguel will be obliged to retire
upon the Voga. Deserters came in to us in crowds."
(From the Illessager des Chambres.)

We are assured that five Dutch ships of the line, and
several other vessels of war have entered the Scheldt to
strengthen the Dutch squadron already in that river, and
to oppose the entrance of the Anglo-French fleet.

A revolution at Madrid in favour of Don Carlos has
been spoken of on 'Change; but we have received no letter
in confirmation of the report.
At the preparatory meeting of the Deputies to-day,
the news and arguments of the Journal des Debuts
have produced a very unfavourable impression upon the
Deputies, not only of the left side, but upon those who
last Session voted with the Ministry. Their votes were
given from a desire to maintain peace, but it is at war
that we have arrived, and the little success which has
attended the course which has been pursued was sufficient
to detach from the Cabinet of the Doctrinnaires, all who
feared from it a loss of peace, not only to the country but to
Europe. . .

There was yesterday a meeting of the Deputies of the
Opposition in the Rue Neuve, St. Augustin, consisting of
80 members, among whom were several who have not
signed the conite-rendu. The meeting was first occupied
in discussing the nomination of a President and two Se-
cretaries. Messrs. Salverte, Comte, and Cormenin were
elected. Messrs. Third and Laboissiere have consented
to remain Commissaries. The question of the choice of a
President of the Chamber was next discussed, and it was
unanimously agreed to vote for M. Laffitte. The
patriotic Deputies were resolved to render homage
to his great virtue, and revenge him of the
ingratitude of the Court and the attacks of the Doctrin-
noires. The names of the three Presidents were not de-
cided upon. With respect to the Secretaries, five gentle-
men have been named ; they are Messrs. Cliaigneau, La-
guette-Mornay, Havin, Dubois-Ayme, and Beslay, jun.
However, as this is not a question of politics, but merely
one of confidence, it was decided that the meeting would
come to an understanding with the Ministerial party, to
elect in concert two deputies of the Opposition, and two
deputies voting with the Ministry, so that the two parties
might be equally represented, and have a just confidence
in the decisions of the office.
