We received last night the Paris Papers of
Tuesday and Wednesday, and the Etoile, dated
Thursday morning. They do not contain any
news from the Peninsula. The Quotidienne of
Tuesday shews the falsehood of the statement in
the Etoile of that morning, (which we published
on Wednesday,) that three of the Portuguese
Chiefs had been committed to an escort of Gens-
d'Arrnes, by alluding to the well-known fact that
there are no Gens-d'Armes in Spain.
The same Paper accounts for the recall of the
Spanish Ambassador the Duke de VILLA HER-
MOsa. The French Government having re-
called its Ambassador from Madrid, the Spanish
Government follows the example, and a Charge
d'Affaires will supply the place of the Duke.—
Count OFALIA had passed through Bayonne on
his way to Paris.
The Etoile or Thursday has a long arti-
cle , from the Augsburgh Gazette, dated Con-
stantinople 2d of March, detailing the sub-
stance of a long conference which M. de
RIBEAUPIERRE had had with the REIS
EFFENDI. It is said, that after M. de .RI-
BEAUPIERRE had explained the principles on
which Great Britain, Russia, and France (which
latter power is said to have agreed to co-operate),
had determined to interfere in behalf of GruY,e,
and after M. de RIBEAUPIERRE had exhausted
all imaginary arguments, the REIS EFFENDI,
Very coolly answered, verbally, by what lie had
already said to M. MiNztacxY, on the 2d
February, that the Porte could not admit any
foreign intervention in this affair; but that the
proposals of the powers should be laid before a
Great Divan. No answer, however, had been
received on the 2d March.

Extracts of these Papers will be found in ano-
ther column, al,d we subjoin the Prices of the
Stocks in Paris, which scarcely vary.

It is stated, on the authority of a letter from
Florence, in the French Papers, dated the 18th
inst. that Lord COCHRANE had captured the
Egyptian corvette which was built at Marseilles.
We entertain no doubt that such has been or
will be the case, as his Lordship had marked her
for his prey ; and it would be difficult for her
crew to resist the boarding party with which his
Lordship was prepared to visit her.

New York and other American Papers
reached town last night to the 9th inst.
They contain intelligence which may be con-
sidered as of some importance ; namely, that the
Bill for regulating, or rather for preventing
commercial intercourse between the United States
and the British Colonies, had been lost, in con-
sequence of the Senate and House of Represen-
tatives not having been able to agree with respect
to certain amendments made by the latter, which
they refused to abandon, and the former refused
to adopt. The numbers by which the Bill was
lost were 20 and 25. The question, therefore,
between this country and the United States is
exactly in the situation in which it stood prior to
the Session, and it remains for the American
Executive to act on its own responsibility.
On this subject considerable doubt and anxiety
exist. The general opinion, however, is, that a
Proclamation, containing the provisions of the
proposed Act will be issued to meet our Orders
in Council.

Congress, closed its Session on the 3d inst.
We subjoin some extracts from the National
Intelligencer
(From the National Intelligencer of March 3.)
The Session of Congress terminated, in effect, last night;
for no legislative Act can pass the two Houses on this, the
last day of the Session (without a suspension, by both
Houses, of the joint rule upon the subjeet.)
The two Houses sat last night until after midnight. The
most important subject which occupied the attention, at
the latest hour, was the Bill respecting the trade with the
British Colonies. The disagreeing opinions amongst Mem-
bers, and the disagreeing . votes between the two Houses,
may possibly defeat the Bill altogether.

Postscazrr —Titus z o'CLoerc, •.x.---The Senate con-
thlued in session until after two o'clock, and the House of
Representatives until near three this morning, having pre-
viously suspended the rule which forbade the passage of
any Bill on the last day of the Session. The consequence
was, that several Bile; were deferred until to-day for final
decision. Amongst them is the Colonial Trade Bill,
which, from the decision of one House to adhere to its
amendment, and the probability that the other will not
yield, leaves little doubt of the failure of the Bill. We
shall he happy, however, to find ourselves mistaken.

OFFICE OF THE NATIONAL INTELLI6ENCEIL—EXTRA.
MARCH S.—The two Houses of Congress adjourned this
day, between four and five p.m. after one of the most
severe Sessions that we remember.
The leading fact disclosed by them, is, that the bill con-
cerning the Commercial Intercourse with the British Colo-
nies, has wholly failed, and that the whole subject is left
precisely where it was at the commencement of the Session
of Congress.

The proceedings of the last Session of the Congress,
which closed its term on Saturday, and especially those of
the Senate, will receive the serious consideration of the
people of the United States. It is our
purpose, hereafter,
to notice them more particularly. It need not be disguised
that towards the close of the past Session, we presume by
some of those " combinations" of which Dr. Floyd, in his
late address at Richmond, made a precious confession, the
Opposition ole-ine'l a small majority in the Senate.. We
will select only 1 fi.w prominent instances, to show how
this majority was disposed to use the ephemeral power so
obtained.

" 1. The wool_bill (this measure, so important to the
great interests of our country) was, in effect, rejected by the
casting vote of Mr. Calhoun, the Vice-President.
" 2. A committee appointed
the majority of the Se-
nate made a long report on the subject of the 'Georgia con-
troversy, of which 3,000 copies were ordered to be printed
for distribution among the
People of the United States, coun-
tenancing and encouraging the Governor of Georgia.
" 3. The bill for converting a
portion of the 6 per cent.
debt, into a debt bearing an interest of 5 per cent., which
passed the House of Representatives, was lost in the Senate.
By the failure to pass a bill last year, in consequence of the
now acknowledged error of Mr. Louis M'Lane, the country
lost about 90,000 dollars. By the failure of the Senate
to pass this bill it loses a like sum.
" 4. The Colonial Bill was lost by the refuial of the
Senate to agree to an amendment of the House of Repre-
sentatives, without which the measure would have hnmi-
liated this eountry.. And now Great Britain is left in pos-
session of the monopoly of the navigation concerned in the
intercourse, unless the, President feels himself authorized to
'lose our ports under the act of March, 1823 t
'Whatever regret will be felt at the course pursued by
the Senate in the above instances,' the people will derive

much tatiefaetion from knotting that that of their imme-
diate representatives was directly the reverse of it.
a We must add, as one of the remarkable incidents of
the last session of the Senate, that Duff Green, the editor
of a paper notorious for the scurrility or its columns, and
its utter disregard of all decency and truth, received the
votes of 23 senators of the United States to be the printer
of the Senate."

'We trust that the events of last night will
satisfy the enemies of Mr. CANNING that it is
vain to resist the lofty destinies of that great
man. They have envied, they have hated, they
have undermined him in every possible way, but
they may as well endeavour to divert the planets
from their course as to obstruct his bright and
splendid career. The thundering acclamations
of the House of Commons, on Mr. TIERNEY'S
expressing his confidence in Mr. CANNING,
were a satisfactory proof of the opinion of those
who grant the supplies, and were alike creditable
to the Right Hon. Gentleman, and to the
Members of the Opposition. Mr. PEEL is a
much younger man, and may fairly look forward
to succeeding Mr. CANNING as Premier at some
future period ; and those who would advise him
now to assert his claims, are actuated less
by regard for him, than by a vain idea
that they would find in him the sup-
porter of their narrow-minded policy, because,
in one point unfortunately, he happens to agree
with them. It would be no reproach for Mr.
PEEL to serve under Mr. CANNING; but to
the decision of our Gracious and discriminating
Sovereign, we shall bow with the respect be-
coming faithful and devoted subjects.

By recent letters from Rio de Janeiro, it, appears that
Jciao Severiano bad been appointed Minister for Foreign
Affairs; Francia, for Justice; Don Francisco Luchano, for
Marine. The Minister for the Home Department retained
his situation ; but, for the Department of Finance, they had
found no person able or willing to undertake the Finance
Department. These letters add, that these constant changes,
for which no sound or good reason can be found, prove of
serious inconvenience, and give rise to much distrust.

The proceedings of the House of Commons,

last night, possessed an extraordinary degree of
interest. On moving the Order of the Day for
receiving the Report of the Committee of Supply
on Civil Contingencies, Mr. TIERNEY opposed
the motion upon two grounds, the nature of the
grant itself, and the situation of public affairs,

from the want of an ostensible head to the Govern-
ment. The objections urged by the Right Hon.
Gentleman to some of .the items, we shall pass
over for the present, as the grand object of his
argument was to resist a :Irate on account of
Civil Contingencies, without the House knowing
with whom the responsibility of, its expenditure
rested. The Right Honourable Gentleman
then at great length stated the forbearance with
which his side of the House had acted in not
embarrassing the Government with any hasty in-
quiries ; but that with every feeling of the pro-.
priety of acting with delicacy towards Lord Li-
VERPOOL, he conceived, as there was no
longer a hope that that Noble Lord would be
able to resume the exercise of the functions of
his office, that arrangements. ought to be imme-
diately made for the formation of an Admi-
nistration.

After describing, in forcible language, the
situation of the country, and the necessity of an
united and efficient Administration--an Admi-
nistration capable of insuring the respect of
Foreign Powers and the affections of the people,
Mr. TIERNEY concluded by moving that the
consideration of the Report be deferred to the
IstMay
Mr. CANNING, in his reply, ',hewed the ne-
cessity of the vote on 'accOunt, for the' pur:pose
of carrying on the public service ;. ant justified the
delay which had taken place with respect to the
appointment of a successor to the Noble
Lord. Without flinching from the responsi-
bility of that delay, the Right Honourable Gen-
tleman implied that the kind feelings of his MA-
JESTY had partly occasioned it, from his wish

that Lord LIVERPOOL should not, upon awak-
ing from his trance, find himself divested of his
office. But that delay was now at an end ;
His MAJESTY, said Mr. CANNING, " has
" made a communication to the immediate con-
" sections of the Earl of LIyERPOOL, that the
" time was come, when, whatever pain it might
" occasion him, he must fill up that chasm in
" the Administration which his loss had oc-
" casioned, and in stating this he was sure it would
" he a satisfaction to the House, as it had been
" to those who advised his MAJESTY to adopt
" that step, and as it had been a heartfelt satis-
faction to his MAJESTY to adopt that step,
" that when that communication was made; the
" Noble Earl was in that state of hedlth in which
" he was perfectly conscious of its nature, and
" entertained and expressed the greatest pleasure
" that his feelings should have been so respected."
Mr. TIERNEY pressed his motion to a division,
and it was lost by 153 to 80.
Although Mr. CANNING did not pledge him-
self to, a precise time when this important question
will be settled, we have little doubt that the
arrangements will be made, as we mentioned
yesterday, when his MAJESTY, comes to town,
next week.

The Island Of Tenerife has been visited by a dreadful
tempest, by which many lives were lost, and not only the
fare of the country changed, but the summits of the cele-
brated Peak broken into chasms. One account states its
altitude is lowered by the fall of the topmost rocks.
ENGLISN TROOPS AT THE HAPANNAII. On the arrival
at that Port of the Finsbury transport, in twelve days from
Port Royal, with a division of the 50th Regiment, under
the command of Captain Ryan, the Captain-General of
the Island, paid the most polite attention to the officers of
the division ; and the novelty of a British corps arriving
there, attracted great crowds to witness their arrival in the
harbour.

It appears, by an account just printed by or-
der of the House of Commons, that the amount of poor-
rates in England and Wales, for one Year, ending the 20th
of March, 1826, was 6,966,1511. Bs. It is .added, that
from 90 places, but in which the assessments an'ineensi-
derable in amount, no returns have been received ; so that
the total sum, therefore, may be fairly taken in gross figures
at about 7,000,000/. Of this fractional amount, as above
stated, the sum derived from land is stated to be 4,795,4814
16a. ; from dwelling-houses, 1,814,228/. gs. ; from mills,
factories, &c. 259,5641. 114 ; and from manorial profits,

ELECTION COMMITTEES.-(THIS DAY.)

BANFFSHIRE.

The Committee on this election resolved that Lord Fife
tr.7s not duly elected to serve in Parliament for the county
of Banff, and that John 'Morrison, Esq. was duly elected,
and ought to he returned. But that neither the petition
nor the opposition to it was frivolous or vexatious. _

This decision is in direct contradiction to that which the
Court of Session came' to respecting the right of voting ;
whereas, in the petition respecting the Crail Burghs, the
Committee determined that they were bound by the deci-
sion of the Court of Session, and could not go into the
merits of the petition. The omnipotence of Parliament
alone can account for this inconsistency.
The Committee on the Dublin Election objected this day
to hear any evidence respecting the interference of the Ca-
tholic Priests. The case of bribery is closed, and it ap-
pears that the number of votes vitiated leaves Colonel
White in the minority, but he undertakes to make a similar
reduction on the other side.
