[The Times.]

The Ministerial Aff6irs of France being settled
on their present foundation, we suppose no very
important alterations will take place in the Re-
preseutatives of Foreign Governments at that
Court. As the Ministry is in essence and spirit
unchanged, those who have to transact business
with it, will in ail probability remain the same.
Hence all rumours of the retirement of Sir Charles
Si hart are at an end. The designation of a cer-
tain Noble Lord as his successor certainly sprung
out of a belief that an Ultra-Royalist Ministry
would be formed on the dissolution of the old
one, to which Ultra-Royalist Ministry his Lord-
ship's opinions were thought most congenial.—
The matt therefore, it was conceived, was ready,
if die Party hail been ready to receive him. The
French are indeed aware of Lord Harrowby's
patty attachments, which he has not been stu-
dious to conceal.—As to interference in the af-
fairs of foreign States, people may, no doubt,
v rsh for the prevalence of one party or one set
of principles ever another, according to their
own views of general utility, as we do with re-
spect to every State in Europe; but that is all_
tiiat should be allowed or tolerated. The French
themselves, when subject to Buonaparte, unlucki-
l; gave. too strong an example of domineering
in toregin capitals; but this system should have

"CHAMBER OF PEERS—Surma or MONDAY, JAN. 4.

" The Order of the Day was read for the de-
velopment of the proposition made in the Sit-
ting of the 30th December, relative to the Duke
de Richelieu.

" The proposition was developed by its Author,
he Marquis de Lally Tollendal, and the discus-
ion was opened according to the regulations on
he question, whether it should be taken into

consideration.

Previously, however, the President commu-
nicated to the Assembly a letter from the Duke de
Richelieu, stating, that though very tar from de-
clining any testimony of approbation which might
be conferred on him by the King, he could not
consent to have on his account any addition made
to the burdens that pressed upon the nation.
The taking the question into consideration
was combated by some Members, on the ground
of the incompetence of the Chamber, and the
danger of the consequences. It was defended and
supported by other Peers.

" The Chamber decided that the proposition
should be taken into consideration.

" The proposition, after being examined by the
Bureaux, will be discussed at the next Sitting.

" CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.

PRESIDENCY OF M. RAVEZ.

" Several resolutions proposed by M. Dumei-
let, for making new regulations with regard to
Petitions, were ordered to be taken into consi-

leration by the Bureaux.

" The Chamber in Secret Committee heard the
development by the Baron Delessert of his pro-
position, respecting the Duke de Richelieu.
" A letter from the Duke was read by the
President, similar to that communicated to the
Peers.

The proposition was opposed by M. de

Pontet, and supported by M. Froc de IR Boulaye,
who vvartuly eulogized the Duke de Richelieu.
It was then ordered to be taken into consideration,
and referred to the Bureaux.

" The Queen of Spain died on the 26:h ult, at
nine in the evening, in consequence of repeated
attacks of llemiplegia, which she survived
only 22 minutes. After her Majesty's demise,
the Caesarian operation was resorted to with the
consent of the King, for the purpose of endea•
vouring to preserve, the foetus, which had been
recognized to be an Infanta ; but every care
proved fruitless—it only survived a few mi.
nutes. This melancholy event was announced
officially in The Madrid Extraordinary Ga-
zette of the 27th ultimo. The deceased Queen
Maria Isabella Frances, who was born at Lisbon
the 19th May, 1797, was the daughter of John
VI. King of Portugal, and of Charlotte Joachima
of Bourbon, Infanta of Spain, sister of Ferdi-
nand VII, of whom the deceased Queen, his con•

sort, was consequently niece.

" MADRID, DEC. 27.—(OFFICIAL ARTICLE.)

" The 26th December of this year, will be a
day of eternal grief for the Spanish Monarchy, on
account of the loss of a Queen endowed with the
most eminent qualities, and who was at the same
time the ornament of the Spanish Throne, and an
example of all the domestic virtues.

" At nine in the evening, the Queen, whilst in
bed, and conversing with some of her attendants,
was suddenly seized with a convulsion, which
lasted for two or three minutes. Her Majesty
came to herself, but remained in a restless state,
and was almost immediately attacked by another
convulsion. The convulsions from this moment
continued without intermission, and notwithstand-
ing the best remedies were immediately resorted
to, 'all were in vain ; the convulsions continued
for about 22 minutes, when the best of Queens
expired.

`• The deplorable death of her Majesty having
been notified, the Cmsarian operation was re-
sorted to, with the permission of the King.
The child, which was an infanta, was bap-
tised at the moment of its extraction, but
notwithstanding every care all the means used to
preserve its life proved fruitless; the Infanta ex-
pired in a few minutes.

" These sad events have plunged in the most
profound grief the King our Master, who loved
the Queen with all the tenderness that her virtues
and qualities deserved. The misfortune has not
less afflicted the most Serene Infants, and parti-
cularly the most Serene Infanta Donna Maria
Frances d'Assise, who has lost in the Queen the
most virtuous sister. The whole Court, on learn-
ing this afflicting intelligence, gave proofs of the
profound grief which it experienced for the loss,
of a Sovereign, who was its delight. The
unfortunate weep the loss of an august and bene-
volent mother, whose liberal hand was always
open to relieve them. The Arts have lost an
illustrious protectress, who delighted in support-
ing and encouraging them. Nor is there any
class of people to whom the day will not be one
of sorrow and lamentation.

" These afflicting- motives have induced the
King, our master, to order a Court Mourning for
six months, commencing this clay ; the first three
months, deep mourning ; and the last three, half-
mourning."—(Madrid Extraordinary Gazette.)

Extract of a Letter from tke Agent to Lloyd's at Buenos
Ayres, dated Oct. 25.

" It is reported that Talcahuana is evacuated
by the Royalists, and that part of them have re-
turned to Lima, and the rest to Valdivia. Li-
censes have been granted by the Viceroy of Peru,
admitting English vessels to enter in Callao with
cargoes of wheat, and in consequence, several
vessels were loading at Valparaiso for that des-

tination.

Our private accounts from France, on which
we depend, state that the people of Pads are not
recovered from the surprize excited by the sudden
change of Ministry. What accounts for their
dismission, viz. want of harmony among them'
selves, may be applied to the sevezatparties Wl.'
which.the rie\ple are,eivirred ; no,Partir caryelsr
anOtf4r, and distrust prevails sto a censiderabig
degree even among the individuals compositig

lousy, and suspicion, the Government finds a ten?'
porary safety ; but if they could possibly act in
concert, the impolicy of so hastily withdrawing
the Allied Armies would most probably he 50°
demonstrated in a new and dreadftil Revolutiou.
This, we are assured, is the real state of thing 9
in France, but how long this balance of Parties
is likely to continue is a melancholy considers'
tion ; for if the JACOBINS once obtain predonli'
nance, the result will be radical reform, annual
elections, universal suffrage, and all the horror'
of anarchy and carnage.

The report in some of the Morning Paper's'
which we noticed yesterday, stating that Mr;
CROKaR is going to India, is, we find, just 81
destitute of foundation as all the other rumours
of Ministerial Changes which we have so olte°
contradicted on good authority, but which bars
been so often repeated with unblushing pertina-
city. This Gentleman, we are assured, is lot
likely to leave the Admiralty, where experience,
added to Areat talents, have rendered him morn;
eminently useful.

We feel great pleasure in stating, that HAYS'
LAND ADDINGTON, Esq. the eldest son of the late
Right HOD. J. IL ADDINGTON, is appointed a
Commissioner of Stamps. We understand, that
it was the last request of the departed Gentleman,
that his son should have some provision under
Government ; and from all that we have heard of
the Gentleman thus appointed, we are convinced,
that his own talents and attainments will fully
justify the nomination, independently of what is
due to the memory of so amiable, intelligent, and
faithful a servant of the Public, as his revered
and regretted father. Mr. HAVILAND ADDINGTO
was some time employed in a Diplomatique caps'
city abroad, and conducted himself with such
ability and discretion as well entitle him to the
confidence of Government.
