" CHAMBER OF PEERS, FED. 27.

" A Projet of Law was presented by the Mini-
ster of the Interior, for altering the limits of se-
veral arrondissements, with a view to the conve-
uience of the jurisdiction of the tribunals.
"'The Projet was referred to the Bureaux.

" Another Projet was presented by the same
iNlinister (at the instance of the Chambers) di-
recting that no one shall be eligible to be erected
a Member of the Chamber of Deputies who is
not 40 years of age complete on the day of the
election, or who does not pay 1000 francs in direct
taxes, excepting in the case provided for by Ar-
ticle 39 of the Charter.

The discussion of this Projet was fixed for

Monday.
" PARIS, FEB, 2S.—Yestertloy, before Mass,

" Lord Kinnaird has, since his arrival at
Paris, resided at the Hotel of the Duke of Wel-
lington.
" The 20th inst. a woman, named Maria Char-
lotte Cadet, died in the Hospital of Namur, aged
109 years and 9 months. She preseqed to the last
moment all her mental faculties, and had a great
appetite. She never was ill.

" PARIS, nu. 343.

" The meditated assassination of the Duke of
WELLINGTON is now known to have been organized
beyond the Rhine. The Police has gut, we un-
derstand, positive information on this subject ;
mach has been said and many false inferenceslhave
been drawn from its silence hitherto. It is only in
silence that discoveries of crime are made ; pub-
licity would put all parties on their guard ; in a
few days, however, we may expect something
publicly to. be made known on the subject, be-
cause it is believed, that in that time all will be
discovered that can be done.

" The Commit!ee on the Budget continues its
labours, and it offers a new proof .of the union
which exists between the two extreme parties,
when (bey think they can by such union attack the
Ministry. The Ultras, who have hitherto ex-
claimed most violently against the withcirawing of
the Allied Troops, have now completely wheeled
about. They insist that the Ministry shall com-
municate to them the state of the negociations on
this point, and that they will only accept the
Budget on these conditions. M. de CORBJERES
and M. de N'ttAnLE, are come to a pet fect under-
standing with the fatuous Marquis de CHAPVELIN
and his friends. M. CORBIERES said to the Marquis
the other day in the Secret Committee on the
Budget, of which they are both Members, I hope
M. le Marquis that you and your honourable
colleagues will vote with us in a cause so truly
national. Our love of the independence of France
is equal, and we ought not to grant the credit
demanded by the Ministry, unless it can prove to
us that the Arn►y of Occupation shall remove from
our frontiers.'

The Law on the Recruiting of the Army is
certain, or nearly so, of passing in the Chamber
of Pt s.

" We bear that a new Ordonnance, respecting
the Bank of France, is going to be issued, and
that 11. LAFITTE will no longer be at the bead of
it. We shall make farther inquiries."

We present, in the foregoing, another Letter
from our intelligent Correspondent at Paris, which
we received this day. He now adverts to the
Attack on the Duke of WELLINGTON, and it is
with pleasure we find that the favourable inter-
pretation which we alone gave to the silence of
the French Government on this interesting sub-
ject, while almost all the other English Journals
accused it of criminal indifference, on a point of so
tench importance to France: itself as well ,as the
rest of Europe, is confirmed by the fact. The
real cause of the silence in question was the result
of prudence on the part of the French -Govern-
ment, as stated by our Correspondent, whose own
reserve also proceeded from the same laudable
motive, lest publicity might alarm the Conspira-
tors, and enable them to take measures better
calculated to secure them from discovery. We
trust, however, that the zeal with which the hi-
quiry is pursued, and the caution which attends
it, will be rewarded by the detection and punish-
ment of the base and cowardly assassins. And now
to our Correspondent. We can venture to assure
our Readers that they may implicitly rely on his
communications. He is placed at a central point,
where he - has ample •or portunities of -forming
due estimate of the French Ministers individually,
and of watching their operations collectively ;
and he possesses such discernment and intelli-
gence, as enable him to judge how far those ope-
rations may affect the general interests of Europe,
and those more particularly which may relate

'to Great nritain. ~;or is tills an, for his ceztral
position furnishes him with opportunities of
knowing much iliat relates to the .condtict, and
probable view s of other European Courts,
since Paris is the great Depot of Continental
intelligence of every description relative to political
designs or commercial spettilatlont. To sum up
the matter in his own words, ES contained in a
private passage of his Letter of this day " every
thing will he FACT, WELL-AUTHENTICATED FACT,
and THE Sing will a:sir:T(lly he the only Paper
that can or dare assert so much." It is so com-
mon with Public Journalists to iiireht Foreign Cor-
respondence, to suit their prirposes at home, that
we should not wonder if suspicion, arising from
that hackneyed and despicable practice, should
attach to us ; but the facts will speak for
themselves, and we solemnly assure our Readers
that we shall present to them nothing but what
we receive from authentic sources ; and we state
nothing but the troth when we say that THE SUN
has not only become attractive in Paris, but in
many other-conspicuous places on the Continent.
It may happen, as it has before, that we may
differ with our Correspondent on some points, but
we shall always defer to his judgment, and allow
for his superior sources of information, and
we shall certainly look with alarm at the:
French Ministry if they attempt to revive any
thing In the shape of the odious CONSCRIPTION,
or to augment the French Army beyond what
may be absolutely and essentially requisite for the
defence of the Country from enemies without,
and those incalculably more dangerous Enemies
within, whose profligate, sanguinary, and revolu-
tionary spirit nothing can tame, and who would
rejoice to raise themselves upon the ruins of their
Country, and the desolation of all Europe.

This morning we received Washington Papers
to the N February.

INTERESTING.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ciro. JAN. 31. We learn
fronua respectable source, that there is no imme-
diate prospect of tlie United States getting pos-
session of Florida. Spain is so unreasonable in
her demands as to preclude the hope of making an
equitable arrangement with her. She professes
willingness to sell Florida, but on conditions to
which this country can never assent. Besides ex-
acting six millions of dollars, out cf which she
promises to pay for commercial spoliation, she
requires as a sine qua non, that the Mississippi
(mark this !) shall be the boundary of tier Mexican
dominions. These terms, we understand, were
promptly rejected by our Government. it is un-
derstood, however, that about half that sum was
offered, together with a relingoishment of our
right to the disputed territory lying beyond the
river Sabine, the present boundary of the State
of Louisiana. The proposition was not agreed to
by the Spanish Minister.

Accounts have been received that the Patriot
brig Morgiana, with Colonel Inwirs on board, left
Amelia on the I lth instant, destination unknown.
Commodore AURY was also preparing to sail with
the remaining vessels. The Spaniards at Amelia
had complained very much that AURY had ceased
to issue rations to them.—(Baltimore Patriot.)

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM GUAYANA, DEC. 13.

" Since the capture of 'this vast Continent,
and since the disturbances were quelled, which
were resuscitated by General Plan, the Aurora of
Peace has made its bright appearance on this large
and fertile Province, The Government has in-
vited and offered to protect all industrious farmers
who may wish to set themselves in the fruitful
fields -of the wealthy Oronoko; whatever be the
Establishments formed by them, shall be protected
by wise laws of safety and preservation. A Gar,
risen of 1800 men, and the squadron, have re-
mained to protect this ,place. The liberating
Army is now on its march to.rescue the- Province
of Caraccas ; it is composed of 12 wart iors."

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM NEW GRENADA,
DATED OCT. 27, 1817.

" On the 7th inst., and almost every day since
that period, placard!, have been put up in different
parts of the city of Carthagena, demand►ng the
heads of MONTALVO FotmEs, the Governor, and
CANO, the Judge-Advocme. These placards are
supposed to have been stuck up by the soldiers
and subaltern officers, among whom a general
discontent prevailed. Patroles were constantly
employed in parading the streets and taking down
the placards. I am still in hopes of seeing Ole
Republican Flag fly in all Venezuela before long."

The Army Estimates were 1,..5t night discussed
at some length in the House of Commons. It
will. be seen that every possible reduction has
been made by Ministers in the Military Expendi-
ture that the safety and actual wants of the
Country will aglow.
