SOLEM QUIS DICERE. FALSUM AUDEAT,

LONDON,
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1821.

We received this morning Paris Papers of
Thursday and Friday last. The Moniteur of
Thursday states that the Journal des Debuts hav-
ing in its report of the Sitting of the Chamber of
Deputies on the 12th inst., published a speech
which bad not been delivered, and not having

presented this article to the Commission of Cen,
sorship, this infraction of the law of the 31st ol
March, IS2O, has just been denounced to the tri-

bunals.

The Editor of the Journal des Debats says,
that the speech alluded to was that of Count de

KERGORLAY, which was printed from the manu-
script of the author, and which was delivered
from the Tribune in the midst of noise and fre-
quent interruptions. lie adds, that it rarely
happens the report of speeches furnished to him
in this manner correspond exactly with the
speeches themselves, as delivered from the Tri-
bunal.

An article from Vienna of the sth states that
according to the last letters from Berlin, the
King of PRussi:► will not go to LAYBACII. It
was generally believed that General FRIMONT,
Commander in Chief of the Austrian army in
ITALY, had received orders to pass the Po. Pri.

vate Letters of the 7th from VIENNA, however,
mention that in spite of the great preparations for
war, many persons, well inrormed in State affairs)
do not despair of the continuance of peace in

ITALY, and even go so far as to think that it is
much more probable than the breaking out of
hostilities. It is added that the notes lately de-
livered to the Congress by Count CAro D'ISTRI

r are of a pacific and conciliatory nature, and that
the last note presented to the Allied Sovereigns
by Lord STEW ART, proves that Great Britain has
absolutely declared against war. The Court of
London has recently taken fresh measures for the
maintenance of peace ; and it is said that the
King. of PausstA -has determined on not in-
terfering in the affairs of Italy. The inde-
pendant States of Italy are all in favour of the
system of neutrality ; and his Sicilian M tJE,TY
has been most strenuous in his exertions to avert
the evils of war from his dominions.

From Naples it appears that the _Neapolitan
Parliament have accepted the offers of several
officers of the ancient kingdom of Italy to
enter into the service of that Country. Let-
ters from his Sicilian MAJESTY to the Prince
REGENT, dated Laybach, on the I.lth ultimo,
have been communicated to the Parliament. His
MAJtsTv speaks highly of the attention paid to
him by the Emperors of AUSTRIA and RUSSIA,
and states his inability at that period to say any
thing respecting the political measures of the
Congress.

'the Spanish Provinces are in a very disturbed
state. Insurrections have broken out at Malaga
and Pampeluna.

A Vessel arrived at Venice frOm Corfu has
brought the melancholy intelligence of a dreadful

Earthcitiake at Zatite. The shocks were 'if-4.
felt on the 29th December, and several houses it
the tbstn then suffered .cdnsiderable injury :

heaty fall of rain, followed by an tintistAstorr,

jug Country, and destroyed sev4ai Parm-houi3es
Barns, Scc. A second shock took place on CI(
oth ult., and in the town alone 1,090 hthises hav
been demolished. Nothing can exceed the misery
of the poor inhabitants, who are reduced to the
worst state of, indigence, and live in .continua
dread of another repetition of this horrible phe-
nomenon. The number of victims is not yet
knowni but seven have been du; out of the ruins,
and the fate of three others still remains to be
ascertained.

The Bill for the disfranchiiement of the
rough of Grampound, and the transferring the
Elective Franchise to the ToWin of Leeds, as
amended in the Cominittee, has been printed and
circulated; and a Bill more unexceptionable in prin-
ciple and regulation, as it now stands, was never,
perhaps, presented for a third reading. Eveq
objection which has been urged to the measure
seems obviated by the judicious-Manner in which
the Committee have supplied the blanks in the
Bill. The fears of those who thought that by
vesting the Elective Franchise in -the Inhabitant
Householders paying scot and lot, a class of
men not contemplated-by the Constitution or its
framers as fit persons in whom- to vest so impor-
tant a trust, would, Sowing to the depreciated
value of money, become intitled to it,are relieved
by the tight being given by the Bill to the In-
habitant Householders " whose houses shall,
for twelve calendar months immediately pre-
ceding each Election, have been rated to the
relief of the Poor at the sum of TEN POUNDS
.t YEAR and upwards." With regard to the
objections taken to the measure on the ground
of its being unjust or impolitic to transplant the
.
right from its native soil to a distant and foreigi;
county, it is not now perhaps necessary to make
many observations, and particularly as they may
be made with more effect when the measnr.!
comes under the consideration of the !louse of
Lords, but we must say that it appears to us far.
less objectionable to correct the unparalleled cor--
ruption which was proved to prevail in Grant-
pound by transferring the right to another body
of persons, where the same species of qualifica-
tion would be the title to the right, than by giv-
ing the right to the freeholders of the adjacent
hundreds ; for, besides the great probability that
these freeholders would not be more immaculate
and disinterested in the disposal of their twirl,"
acquired franchise than their ; neighbours,. it Is,
obvious that a deffei•ent dais' of Voters, entitled 0"
the right by a different species of. qualification
from the previous possessors of it, wont(' be cre-
ated,.and that thus that portion of the House of
Commons which is supposed to represent the
commercial part of the country and the populacY"
would he diminished, whilSt the representative;
of the laud and soil would be consequently
creased. It may, perhaps, be said, that there is
something more of technicality, and fastidious
adherence to the principles which gave rise t°
the present form of our Constitution, than any
real weight in this argument, and the facility
with which a freehold qualification may be ob-
tained, possibly renders it so; but if we trace the
fall of the most celebrated institutions, both it
ancient and modern times, to their causes, I've-

our constitution in legislating upon the mode of
reforming the abuses which have. gradually crept
into it ; for thus alone can we hope to secure it
against the attacks of interested demagogues and
visionary Utopians on the one hand, and
the more
dangerous machinations of Oligarchists -on the
other. There are however many other grouras
upon which we approve of the transfer of the elec'-
Live franchise from Grampound to the inhabitant
householders of the town of Leeds; but they
were
so pointedly stated and so strongly urged by 71\'""
Lennart', Mr. Ward, and several other members
on the question for the second reading of the Bill,'
tltatitis needless to repeat them at present ; and
we shall only in conclusion congratulate the
country
Ott the,tone of moderation which charac-
terised the delmte, as it leads us to hope that the
necessity of reforming abuses, and repressing col.'
ruption and undue practises in the mode of elec-
tion where they are proved to exist, is now gene-
rally felt by those in whom the constitution ha;
vested that power : and that thus the disaffected
and disloyal will be deprived of those topics of
declamation, w Melt have enabled them to take
advantage of the distress of the times, and to es-
trange the affections of those who are suffering
under its pressure from our venerable and excel-
lent establishments in Church and State.

By the latest advices from Gibraltar, we learn
that Mur,Ev Sur.IMAN, the reigning Emperor, had
tied from Fez to Morocco, and that his nephe'v,
MuLET Batium, son of his late elder brother,
MULEY -YEZ ED, and consequently the lightful
Sovereign, was proclaimed Emperor at Fez, in his
place ; that N ULEY SULIMAN proceeded Iron'
Morocco against Mur,Ey Bamnin, and having
crossed the. river Alorbave, which divides the
kin:-4dour of Fez and Morocco, he fell in with his
rival; here, however, his household troops went
over to MULEY BRIHIM and MULE V SULIMA
retired northward to Tangier, where he remained
when these advices came .awa,-;—(-Marging

PARIS; FEH. 15.--The anniversary Ceremony
Of the death of the "Duke de BEnat has been
celebrated every where with a profound devo-
tion, for he is as much regretted by his enemies
as his friends. The petards have given place to
the piqueurs; and several persons haVe lately been
pricked or stabbed, People cry out it is the
rid
Polite that doeS it. No charge can he more
it is icu lous ; who can suppose for a moment, that
the who
of GOyernment to create alarm
and discontent ? hut it is the essential quality of
lirs a .E'renchan td explain every thing according to
own systein, just like your Radicals,
who placed the petard in the Thtiilleries ; he has,
it is Said, been arrested; btit, if the Ultras hoped
to
excite alarm, they have failed, for the funds
hate risen to an unexampled height.
The discussion relative to the Annuities re-
"rnrnences to-day ; all the " Orator;" have two
days holiday to prepare their veecluss ; the dis-
cussion, if discussion it can be called, will be ex-
outnely violent--all is; however-, tranquil with-
, and the Ministers count on a strong majority;
the circumstances are nearly the same in both
Countries, the peaceable and independent mem-
bers join the Ministry in every crisis
-where the
interests of the country are at stake, and the
Radicals in both Countries are left in a great
Minority.
