The French Papers of Tuesday are almost exclu-
s:vely filled with the debate in the Chamber of De-
puties on Monday. The subject of discussion was the
motion of M. Sr. AULAIRE, relative to the conduct
of the Public Prosecutor, in inserting in the indict-
ment drawn up against BERTON and his associates,
the names of four Members of that Chamber. The
cruelty and injustice in this case lie not in the simple
mention of the names, for so long as the acte (Caeca-
ration in France contains the depositions of the wit
nesses on whose testimony the charge is supported, and
so long as these depositions are put down in the slip-
shod and irregular manner that they are taken by the
Public Prosecutor, such an occurrence would be un-
avoidable—hut in the circumstance, that the person
on wbo,e euthotity the character of the Deputies is
implicated, is absent, and therefore can afford no op-
portunity on cross-examination, or by being con-
fronted rl/4 ith other witnesses, to disprove his calumnies.
Ire such a case, common justice and candour should
have restrained the Crown Officer of Poitiers from
inserting a statement which could not be proved, or
exciting a prejudice which could not be removed.
The debate was conducted throughout with mo-
deration and decorum, which are not always main-
tained in the French Senate, and the very singular
ph.roomenon of a debate with but one tumul-
tuous interruption has excited the admiration of the
Parisian Journ.tlists. 44 This discussion," says the
Quolidienne, " in which the Chamber exercised for
the first time the high degree of judicial power, which
belongs to it, offered an imposing spectacle of tran-
quillity and dignity. A single interruption, which
our Rea.lers will easily appreciate, broke in upon the
solemn silence with which the Chamber listened to
the speeches of the Hon. Members who spoke in the
course of this important discussion." We Should re-
mirk, that M. de LA BOURDONNAYE, as the organ of
the Ultra-Royalists not in office, spoke of the Minis-
s as not having answered the expectations formed
of them, and pointed, though in a somewhat ambi-
g aous manner, at the necessity of a closer :onnection
v..ith the Holy Alliance for the purpose of stopping
the progress of liberty. There is no stronger sign of
the bent of public opinion in France than this—that
the most perfectly and fanatically Royalist Ministry
that can be formed finds itself obliged for its own
safety to moderate the violence of its theories, and to
incur the displeasure of its speculative adherents.

The discussion excited unusual interest. At one
o'clock all the Deputies who were to be present were
in their places; and many persons who could not
procure admittance to hear the debate, continued to
liter near the entrance of the Hall till nearly the
mid of the sitting.

M. de Sr. AULAIRI4 who opened the debate, con-
demned in severe terms the conduct of the Public
Prosecutor, who, in the Act of Accusation, had mani-
festly attempted to represent the honourable Depu-
ties as the principal criminals in the affair of Saumur•
lle concluded by moving that the Public Prosecutor
should be brought to the Bar of the Chamber.
Other Members spoke in favour of and against
the motion, which was negatived by a majority of 99

The trial at Colmar seems to have made even the.
Manisterialists ashamed ; for the Journal des Debats
',imply says, that " the audience of the 80th of July
was occupied by depositions which maybe locally in-
teresting, but which, at the distance at which we are,
and for readers far from the place of trial, are not
calculated to throw any great light on the facts of the
accusation." Truly, we think, this might have been
said of all the testimony in the course of the trial that
we have been made acquainted with. It would, how-
ever, have been a curiosity to have seen something
less important than the evidence of the first days of
the trial, which the Parisian Papers did report. We
sce, however, that the shadowy nature of the evi-
dence is admirably well accounted for by M. de la,
BOVIIDONNAYS, who lays it down, that " the more'
extended plots become, the fewer the traces which

they leave behind"—a fine exemplification of the
burlesque lines of the Duke of Buckingham :
" My wound is great, because It is eo entail;
Then 'mould be greeter were It none as all!"
The Courier 'Lanais states, that accounts, had
arrived from Mahlrid to the 28th ult. and-that the
Capital never enjoyed greater tranquillity. Mita-
TINES de la Ross had resigned the Ministry for Fo-
reign Affairs, and Loru BANOS, who has been no-
minated Minister of War, was daily expected.

This forenoon we received a Flanders Mail, bring-
ing Brussels Papers to the 7th inst. The Aulic Coun-
cil of War, at Vienna, has sent a dispatch to Captain
ARMIN, commanding the Austrian naval division in
the Levant, stating that the Greeks havicarried into
:Missolonghi some Austrian merchantmen, with their
Captains and crews, and ordering him to correspond
with the English and French Commanders in the
Levant, on the best means of protecting the vessels
of their respective countries from molestation.
Accounts from the frontiers of Mcldavia, of the
14th, say, " The evacuation of the Principalities is
hitherto confined to the Janissaries. Letters received
from Jassy, by the two last posts, state, that the Pacha
has received a Firman, ordering the retreat of the
Janissaries;-but nothing is at present said of the de-
parture of the other Turkish troops."
An article from Frankfort, dated July 28, con-
tains the following ;—" The news of the success of
the Greeks has excited general satisfaction in Ger-
many. Subscriptions continue to be opened in several
large towns, and young men, both military and stu-
dents, successively depart for the Peloponnesus, to
combat under the standards of Independence.
At Geneva a subscription has been opened at
Messrs. Heutsch and Co.'s for the relief of the Irish.
Switzerland will doubtless the more readily concur
in this measure; it will thereby at once fulfil the du-
ties of humanity, and pay a tribute of gratitude. The
English hate at all times been eager to relieve Swit-
zerland in its calamities, and the indigent Swiss.svho
are in London daily experience the effects of English
beneficence.
The Crown Prince of SWEDES has been on a visit
to the King of the NKTIIERLANDS, at Loo, where he
was received in the kindest manner.

On the 2d inst. the flood-gates of the new bason
