The Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday have
been received. We learn from them that the law
for regulating the responsibility of Ministers and pub-
lic functionaries belonging to the executive, passed
the Chamber of Deputies during the sitting on Thurs
day. As we had anticipated, this law is a Mere
shred—a . wall of gossamer to bound the range
of Ministerial peccability. The Prefects of De-
partments, and other public functionaries to the
number of 178, who have seats in the Cham-
ber, took good care to screen themselves from the
operation of the proposed law, by the introduction
of a clause which excepts the holders of certain offices
from all prosecutions under it. In fact the 12:,v, as it
now stands, is not worth the acceptance of the people
of France.

It is confidently affirmed that Marshal MAISON—
who is now daily expected to arrive in Paris—will not
accept the office of Minister for the War Department,
It is also stated that the Ministry is engaged in discus.
sing the expediency of continuing the colonization 01

BOURSE, THREE O'CLOCE.—The stocks were brisk all the
morning ; the Three per Cents. have been done at 81f. 60c., but
about half-past 2 o'clock a report was circulated of the English
Ministers being left in a minority on Lord John Russell's motion,
and a decline of about 23c. followed. There has been scarcely
anything doing in the Spanish Stock. This is pay-day : no de-

Brussels, German, and Dutch Papers have been
received, but their contents arc of no importance.

Adv ices from Constantinople to the 12th ult. have
been received. The Turkish squadron just fitted out
consists of only seven sail !—One 74, four frigates,
and two corvettes. Up to the 20th of February all was
peaceable at Smyrna.

Madrid papers to the 27th ult. have been received,
with letters from Bayonne to the 31st. On the 26th
a warm debate took place in the Chamber of Procura-
dores, on bringing up the report for the regulation of
pensions. A division took place, when the Ministers
were defeated by a majority of 85 against 31. This
defeat is regarded of no political consequence, and
will not affect the stability of the Cabinet. General
VALDEZ continues his exertions for increasing the
Army and directing the united strength of the Go-
vernment against the Carlists.

The intelligence conveyed in our Bayonne letters is
not important. The Carlists are not yet defeated, nor
is such au event now likely to -take place for many
months to come. The power of the Priests supports
them against all the exertions of the Constitutional
Army, and during the season of Lent, that power
will go on increasing every clay.
The following account of the present condition of
the Constitutional Army under MINA, is from the
correspondent of a Morning Contemporary :
In Navarre, under the immediate orders of Mina, but
occupying different localities—the body under the Brigadier
'Scone, 2,500 infantry, 150 cavalry, strong ; that under
Aldoma, 7,000 infantry; that under Oraa, 1,800 infantry;
that under Ocagna, 2,000 infantry, 150 cavalry ; that under
Lopez, 2,500 infantry, 100 cavalry ; that under Barena, 1,500
infantry ; that under Gurre, 1,000 infantry, 400 cavalry ; a

been said if a direct motion of want of confidence had
been made ? Would not every Tory tongue have been
loud in condemnation of the " factiousness " of such
a proceeding., before a " fair trial " had been granted ?
The Opposition were well aware of this, and, there
fore they chose the first opportunity which presented
itself, and which, be it remembered, arose immediately
and obviously out of the measures of the Government,
to bring the principles of that Government to the
test upon a most important practical question—.
a vital point—which no doubling could elude,
and the acknowledgement of which was essentially
necessary to the future welfare, if not to the very

integrity, of the empire.
Since writingthe above we are glad to learn there has
been a large meeting of the Opposition held this day,
at which it was resolved to adopt the most vigorous
measures. Upon theßesolution now under consideration
being brought up, another resolution will be added
PLEDGING THE HOUSE NOT TO CON-
SIDER ANY TITHE MEASURE WHICH
HAS NOT THE PRINCIPLE OF APPRO.
PRIATION ENGRAFTED UPON IT. Should
this not prove sufficient to induce Sir Robert Peel to
resign, an address will be moved, praying the Crown
to enable the House. of Commons to carry into dice
their previous Resolution, by placing its interest in
the Temporalities V the Church at the disposal of
Parliament.

This determination cannot fail to afford the highest
gratification to the Reformers throughout the king.
dom. That it will be equally satisfactory to those
who even so lately as this morning, complained
of the. 'vacillation and want of manliness of
the Opposition, we will not pretend to say.
We have only to express our fervent hope that
every Reformer in the House of Commons will be
at his post this night, to support to his utmost a pro-
ceeding so much in harmony, not only with the Reso-
lution already carried, but with the feelings, and, we
will add, the just expectations of the nation.

The official statement of the Revenue for the year
and quarter which ended yesterday, will be. found in
another column. The chief variations are an increase
in the Customs of 2,487,0001. in the year, and of
683,6101. in the quarter; a decrease of 2,793,0001.
in the Exc.se for the year, and of 1,015,9871. for the
quarter ; and a diminution also in the Taxes of
553,2191. during the year, and of 237,9871. during
the quarter. There is a decrease of 751,5271. in the
aggregate income of the year, and of 474,451/. in
that of the quarter, when compared with the income
of last year. The decrease on the Taxes is more than
accounted for by the repeal of the House Tax ; and
the diminution in the Excise arises chiefly, if we
recollect right, from the transfer of some duties from
the ExCise to the Customs ; but a part of it is no
doubt to' be attributed to the uneasy state of the
country, and the consequent injury to the whole of its
internal trade and relations, arising from the general
disapprobation of the principles and opinions of the
present Ministry, and the utter want of confidence in
their measures.

DEATH OF PRINCE AUGUSTUS, OF
PORTUGAL.

We have received, by express from Falmouth, let-
ters and papers from Lisbon to the 30th of March,
announcing the sudden and lamentable death of Prince
AUGUSTUS of Portugal, consort of the young Queen
DONNA MARIA. The unexpectedness of this me-
lancholy catastrophe, which took place on the 28th of
March, has cast a deep gloom over the Portuguese capi-
tal, filling all classes with consternation and alarm.
The calm of the Prince's death was quinsey, arising
from a slight cold caught at a horse race, only five
days before he died. On Sunday the Prince, accom-
panied by the young QUEEN, in an open car-
riage, appeared at the Campo Grande Races,
being then in excellent health. The Royal party
remained for some hours familiarly conversing with
the great Officers of State who were in attend-
ance. On Monday the Prince rode out alone,
and shortly after his return complained of cold and a
swelling in his throat. Medical attendance was called
in, but no serious apprehensions were entertained, nor
was his indisposition announced in the Court Circular
on Wednesday. On Friday night he grew worse, and
desired that his Confessor should be called in to admi-
nister to him the last rites of religion. Having received
the Sacraments he appeared better, but at 2 o'clock p.m.,
on Saturday, he suddenly expired.
Thus died, in the flower of his age, AUGUSTUS
CHARLES EUGENE NAPOLEON, Duke Of LEUCH-
TENBERG, and Prince of Portugal, ,after an illness of
five days, the adored of his QUEEN, and the beloved of
her subjects. The Prince was born in December
1810, and consequently had only entered upon his
twenty-fifth year. Young, rich, healthy, graceful, and
accomplished, few men possessed more grounds for
the hope of a long and happy life, and few have had
those hopes so suddenly blasted. Both the, private
and public character of the Prince were without a
blemish; whilst his devoted attachment to liberal prin-
ciples had obtained for him the love and admiration
of the late Emperor Don PEDRO, by whom he was
chosen as a husband for his daughter, long be-
fore the appearance of the Act of Regency which
proclaimed the approaching nuptials. The prudent
manner in which the PRINCE conducted himself from
his arrival in Portugal till his death, and his devotion
to the will of his Royal bride, proved how worthy he
was of the good opinion which the late EMPEROR had
entertained of him.

The distress of the young QUEEN, a widow and an
orphan in her sixteenth year, is represented as extreme.
Her grief is the more poignant, inasmuch as the
PRINCE was the object of her earliest love—a love
which was cordially reciprocated. Under such circum-
stances, separation would be painful in the humblest vales
of life ; but when to this are added the extreme youth,
the accomplishments, the exalted rank of both, and even
the many trials to which they had severally been ex-
posed before an union could take place between them,
sudden death almost seems a stroke too heavy for mor-
tal endurance.

It is confidently expected that the Prince's sudden
death will lead to no political event dangerous to the
peace and security of the kingdom. The only thing
to be feared is, the madness of the mob, who cannot
be prevailed upon to relinquish the opinion that the
Prince came unfairly by his death. The popu-
lace are persuaded that his Royal Highness
was poisoned, and this opinion unfortunately extends
to many persons of more ein-Tc-1-.nct,. 712
of tlic C'..Jurt during the earlier part-of the Prince's ill-
ness is the subject of severs censure ; nor is the skill
of the physicians in attendance considered a sufficient
guarantee that the Prince received proper medical
treatment. The Chamber of Deputies has, however,
come forward to allay the popular ferment, and to take
measures to ensure the public safety. The moment
the Prince's death was announced, the Chamber so-
lemnly pledged itself to stand by the QUEEN, and
if. necessary to unite as one person for the defence of
the country. The Duke de TERCEIRO has been
placed at the head of the Army, and every
means taken to preserve public tranquillity. The
Miguelits are making some stir, but no fears are en-
tertained on that head.

On the 20th of March, a Miguelite Captain who
had been condemned to death, was seized upon by the
mob, and dragged with a roc about his neck through
the streets, and afterwards plunged lifeless into the
liver. The name of this unfortunate object of popular
fury was PITTA BIZENO of the 12th Regiment of
Infantry.

New York Papers to the 12th ult. arrived last
night. They announce the prorogation of Congress
on the 3d, without adopting any further proceedings
respecting the relations between the United States and
France, thus leaving this important question in statu
quo. It will be seen by the subjoined extracts, that
although the House of Representatives passed a Re-
solution to maintain and enforce the execution of the
Treaty with France of July, 1831, yet they subse-
quently resolved to discharge the Committee appointed
to enquire into the subject. The JACKSON party
were also foiled in the Senate in their attempt to ob-
tain a vote of credit for a large sum, to be placed at
the command of the President fur Naval and Military
purposes. A conference, which followed between the
two Houses, led to no arrangement, and the Session
closed without the adoption of any definite measures.
This shows that there is little chance of hostilities,
and as little inclination to provoke them :

" HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

" The House of Representatives sat, on Monday night
(March 2), till midnight, having commenced its sitting at ten
o'clock in the morning. The whole time was occupied in
arduous debate on the question of our foreign relations. The
following are the results of the proceedings :—After many
amendments had beer, moved and rejected, the following was
proposed by Mr. J. Q. Adams, resolved unanimously—" That,
in the opinion of this House, the treaty with France, of the
4th of July, 1931, should be maintained, and its execution in-
sisted upon."—The annunciation of this vote was received with
a loud burst of applause from the galleries, re-echoed from the
floor, makkg the walls of the Chamber resound with joy,
while mutual congratulations passed in all directions. Mr.
Adams withdrew his other two resolutions. The question was
then taken on the 2d resolution.---" Resolved—That the
Committee on Foreign Affairs be discharged from the further
consideration of so much of the President's Message as relates
to commercial restrictions, or to reprisals on the commerce of
France."—Which resolution was agreed to by an unanimous
vote. The third resolution reported by the Committee of
Foreign Relations is in the following words Resolved_
That contingent preparation ought to be made to meet any
emergency growing out of our relations with France."—This
resolution was ordered to lie on the table, and so the proceed-
ings ended. _ _

mittees of both Houses that the following resolutions should be
submitted in place of that which the Senate had rejected
As an additional appropriation for arming the fortifications
of the United. States, three hundred thousand dollars. As an
additional appropriation for the repairs and equipment of the
ships of war of the United States, five hundred thousand dol-
lars." The compromise, however, was not acted upon in the
House of Representatives, and the Session was permitted to
close without any thing further being done.
VENEZUELA.—The brig James Coulter arrived from Laguira.
We learn from Captain Young that Dr. Varjos had, on the
10th ult., been elected to the Presidential Chair of the Re-
public, vacated by the expiration of the tithe for which. General
Paez had been elected.

Our readers will recollect the question of the frau-
dulent importation of foreign corn into this country
through the Isle of Man, and Jersey and Guernsey.
In those islands foreign grain is allowed to be im-
ported duty free for their own consumption ; and it
was alleged that such corn was then exported in large
quantities to England as the produce of those islands,
and was thereby admitted, duty free, to the great in-
jury of the British farmer. In consequence of these
complaints, the Board of Trade directed the Com-
missioners of the Customs to investigate the matter,
and, as appears from their Report, the following is the
result of those enquiries
In the Isle of Man the quantity of wheat grown is
21,250 quarters ; barley, 20,000 quarters ; oats, 39,000
quarters. The quantity of foreign corn imported is,—
wheat,. 7,963 quarters ; barley, 2,471 quarters ; oats,
1,847 quarters. The consumption of the island is, of
wheat, 16,000 quarters ; barley, 17,000 quarters ; oats,
39,000 quarters ; which leaves a surplus to export, of
wheat, 13,213 quarters ; barley, 5,471 ; oats, 1,847
quarters. Now, the exportation is, of wheat, 13,877
qud-erters ; barley, 5,578 quarters ; oats, 1,340 quarters,
which corresponds very nearly with the above surplus.
The only question is, whether the grain exported to
England was foreign, or grown in the Isle of Man;
but this it is impossible to decide, as the importers
may make a false declaration—unless, indeed, the
quantity exported exceeded the total growth of the
island. Guernsey grows annually 4,595 quarters of
wheat, and 3,789 of barley ; and Jersey, 10,347 quar-
ters of wheat, and 2,897 of barley. Guernsey imports
18,494 quarters of wheat, and 5,967 of barley ; and
Jersey 20,795 of wheat, and 3,680 of barley. The
consumption of Guernsey is about four times as great
as its growth, and that of Jersey about double. The
quantity exported is 6,444 quarters of wheat, and 226
of barley from Guernsey ; 7,358 quarters of wheat, and
2,037 of barley from Jersey. The quantity of corn ex-
ported from Guernsey to England thus exceeds, by near-
ly 2,000 quarters, the total growth of the island, which
proves that this quantity must be foreign corn, fraudu-
lently declared to be grown in Guernsey. It is evident,
however, that the total exportation from all three
islands is too insignificant to form a ground of serious
complaint on the part of the British farmer ; but in
order to prevent such frauds, the following simple ar-
rangement might be adopted. As the Isle of Man
grows much more than it consumes, let the importa-
tion of foreign corn be forbidden in that island ; and
since Jersey and Guernsey consume much more than
they grow, let the exportation of corn from those islands
to England be put an end to.

The Liverpool Correspondents of some of the
Morning Papers have committed a wilful mistake in
stating that the division on Lord John Russell's
motion was first brought to Liverpool by the
Morning Papers. The Sun was the first in Liverpool
as well as in other places. The Morning Papers did
not arrive in Liverpool till Saturday forenoon, whereas
The Sun was there by Special Express on Friday night.
The Morning Papers did not arrive in Manchester..
till noon on Saturday, being fourteen hours after The
Sun. We should not have mentioned 1.11C.53 facts,
were it not for the misrepresentation of the papers of
this morning.

A morning contemporary has contradicted the state-
ment that Capt. Pechell had been dismissed from the
Household of the Queen for the vote he gave on the Irish
Church question ; we repeat that the Gallant Member
was actually dismissed; but after Sir R. Peel's interview
with his Majesty on Friday, the dismissal was recalled,
and Captain Pechell was reinstated in his situation in
the Household; it being doubtless considered that such
a step would, in the present position of affairs, have
afforded an awkward precedent.

MIDLAND CIRCUIT.--Four new Barristers joined
the present circuit, making the number of which it is now
composed about 60. Forty attended Leicester Assizes—to
divide among them there were four causes. The criminal
business was confined to about ten, chiefly juniors, conse-
quently the number of " brieflless " was thirty.—Shejfield
Mercury.

We are informed, that the rate of discount for notes
charged on bills at the counters by the private bankers, as
well as the Joint Stock Bank, at this place, has been
reduced to four per cent. for soma time past.—Doncaster
Gazette.

DUMFRIES POULTRY.—A goose egg, from the
poultry-yard of Mrs. W., of Margery-hill, in this neighbour-
hood, was sent for inspection,. which measured (in girth) nine
inches by twelve inches, and weighs twelve ounces. The bird
which laid it has, in the course of the season, produced three
others equally large.

COLLEGE FOR LADIES.—The Kentucky Le-
gislature has conferred upon Messrs. Van Doren's Institute .for
Young Ladies, in Lexington, the chatitered rights and stand-
ing of a College, by the name of Van Doren's College for
Young Ladies. By the power granted to the Board of Trus-
tees and the Faculty of the College, we understand from the
Daily Reporter, that a Diploma and the honorary degree of
M. P. L. (" Mistress of Polite Literature") will be conferred
upon those young ladies who complete the prescribed course
of studies ; and that the same honour may be conferred upon
other distinguished ladies in our country ; and also, that the
honarary degree of M. M. (" Mistress of Music,") and M. I.
(" Mistress of Instruction") may be conferred by this College
upon suitable candidates. The Messrs. Van Dorens were for-
merly Principols of the Female Institution in this town.
EXECUTION OF JOHN FIENWOOD.—The

happy man who was on Saturday sentenced to deathfortile
murder of his own father, was executed at the drop, at Bodmin,
on Monday at 12 o'clock. On Sunday evening he confessed
his guilt to the chaplain of the gaol, but stated no circum-
stances beyond what we have already given. He appears to
have perpetrated the dreadful deed in a paroxysm of rage. At
a quarter before 12 the prison bell commence,: tolling, and
shortly after the prisoner appeared on the drop, with the exe-
cutioner only. He seemed very much depressed, and whilst
praying aloud, the hangman adjusted the rope. Immediately
after the drop fell, and he expired almost without a struggle.
After hanging the usual time, the body was taken down, and
interred in the Coal Yard adjoining the prison.—Devonport
Telegraph.

A person of the name of Stewart kill-Al himself at
Pittsburg, Pa., a few days since, in consequence of so:ne pe-
cuniary embarrassments ; and a young Englishman, who had
gone to bed, intoxicated, was found 'dead in his bed the next
morning.

Sir W. W. Follett passed through Exeter on
Wednesday, on his way to Cornwall Assizes, being specially
retained for theplaintiff in the important cause of the right of
the Corporation of Truro to demand a toll for Metage upon
coals brought to that port.
The Easter General Quarter Sessions for, Exeter
on Tuesday.
The General Steam Navigation Company's mail
packet the Ramona, from Rotterdam, arrived off the Custom-
house yesterday. The City of Hamburg, • from Hamburg,
arrived at ten o'clock A. M. this day.,,
ELOPEMENT.—An affair of this description "came
off," at the end.of last week, in a town on the borders of the
eastern division of Worcestershire. The lady, in addition to
her personal sttractions, is said to be highly accomplished, to
possess considerable expectations, and to have just attained
the age of seventeen. The gay Lothario is one of the " ;tea-
tlemen of the press," and has considerably the advantage of
the lady in point of years. At the early hour of four o'clock
in the morning, the adventurous fair one left the shelter of her
father's roof, and braved 'the pitiless storm, to throw herself
into the arms of her expectant lover. A chaise was in readi-
ness, which whirled away the happy pair to the " midland
Metropolis," where (a licence having been previously provided)
the indissoluble knot was tied.— Worcester Herald.
TRADE AT DEWSBURY.—The blanket trade in
Dewsbury and Earlsheaton is in a!rood state ; there is not one
loom standing. The mill of the late firm of Halliley, Brook,
and Co, recommenced running on Tuesday last.—Leeds In-
klligencer.
