FOREIGN.
The Moniteur states that the reports in circulation for some
days respecting an alleged revolt of thb natives of the pro-
vince of Constantine against the French were totally un-
founded, the Government having received no important news
from that province.
On the subject of the French elections the Journal des
Debats appears confident that the electors of Paris will return
their representatives in the late Chamber, and holds up as
unexceptionable characters, worthy of the confidence of tt.e
capital which they have so many times and so satisfactorily re-
presented, Messrs. Jacques, Lefebre de Jussieu, and Jacque-
ininot. The Debats recommends also the new Conservative
candidates, MM. Tarbe des Sablons and Legentil.
La Gayenne of Bordeaux, of the 11th inst. publishes the
following list of seizures made for Government taxes in the
department of the Gironde :—" At )(quern a proprietor v, ho
owed 700 f. for the present )ear, had a fleck of merino sleepseized, which were intended for sail at the fair of Villadrant.
The same proprietor had SO hhds. of wine in his cellars, which
the authorities refused to accept in payment of the taxes due.
The same process was enforced at Sauterne, at Preignac, and
other places, where the proprietors, who were unable to con-
vert their wines into money, saw their furniture carried off by
the authorities."

The Armorictrin of Brest, of the 10th inst., states that a ter-
rific hurricane burst upon that town the preceding day, which
caused much injury. Heavy claps of thunder were followed
by a fall of enormous hailstones, which broke the greater part
of the windows in the town. Some persona were killed, and
many severely wounded.
We find the following in the Droit :—" An act of insubors.
dination, which might have led to the most serious res,ilts,
has just taken place at Narbonne, in a detachment of article; y,
on its way to Africa. According to the report most current
it appears that the mutineers commenced by demanding the
liberty of a marechal-de-legis, who had been arrested the pre-
ceding day, and then formally refused to continue the.r route.
Thanks to the energy of Lieut. Vinci, the commander of the
detachment, the guilty parties were arrested to the number of
27, and lodged in the military prison at Perpignan."

Lord Monteagle, to relieve his management of the Ex-
chequer from some odium, last night moved for an zecouot of
Exchequer •bills purchased by Savings' Banks money.
In reply to the Earl of I%linto, the Earl of Aberdeen stated
that a clause was to be introduced into the Prize Act to ,is-
tribute the proceeds of pirate and slave vessels.
The Earl of Radnor, in moving for the return of corn al-
lowed to be imported at a low duty, in 1826, called the atten-
tion of their Lordships to the present alarming distress of ti:e
people. The poor of Sheffield had increased, to quote one in-
stance, from 261 in 1837, to 600 in the present year, besides
1,000 able bodied men receiving out-door relief. '1 he weekly
payments to the casual poor had increased from 715/. in 1837,
to 15,0001. at present. -
The Duke of Wellington admitted tLe distress, but found no
remedy for it.
Lord Kinnaird expressed his regret that the Government
would do nothing, and quoted a case of a man who had dismissed
500 out of 1,000 workmen, arid who said he could not long keep
the remainder.

Lord Kinnaird moved for the instructions givrn to the Ccm.
missioners sent to Burnley and Paisley, and copies of repnrts,
but withdrew his motion.

Several Bills were forwarded, amongst others, the Bill for
keeping out sugar was read a second time without comment.
In reply to Lord Howden, the Earl of Aberdeen admitted
that Syria was in a disturbed state, though not in so bad a con-
dition as when it was invaded by the Egyptians, English, and
Turks. Their Lordships adjourned at an early hour.
In the Commons Mr. O'Connell's Committee to inquire into
the Belfast compromise was nominated. The motion gave rise
to some fencing between the ex and the present representaii to
of Oxford University. Sir R. Inglis again expressed los
regret at the conduct of Sir It. Peel, and the latter Legged
rather haughtily to be allowed to vote without rendering an
account to his Hon. Friend.

Sir R. Inglis again reiterated, in answer to Mr. Hawes,
that it is his intention to bring forward the question of Church
Extension this Session.

On the motion of Mr. W. 0. Stanley a Committee was
ordered to be appointed to inquire into the doings at Sou h-
amptcn.
Sir John Easthope moved for leave to bring in a Bill to
abolish Church-rates. Sir R. Inglis opposed the motion,
which was coldly received by the House, and, after a short
debate, was lost by 162 to 82. There is no hope, therefore,
that the Dissenters will escape the impost this year.
Captain Pechell's motion for a return of the slave vessel,
brought before the Mixed Court for adjudication was agreed to.
11r. Ferrand's motion for a Committee, an address, and a
vote of money to relieve the distress of the people, was rejected
by a very large majority. It, was only useful by eliciting a good
speech from Mr. Villiers, and a good speech from Mr. Cobden,
with reference to the present condition of the people. Only
six persons supported the Hon. Member.
The Report on the Customs Acts—the Tariff—was brought
up and agreed to, and a Bill ordered to be brought in.
The House divided on the question of going into a Committee
