PRUSSIA.

Before the opening of the sitting oaWednesday, thcDcputics assemtdal
in the Hall of Conferences, were discussing a letter received frep2
Berlin, in which it was mentioned that " the King of Prussia, du.
gusted with Royalty, had resolved on abdicating in favour of his stir.%
This sovereign had already expressed that intention several years ago, and
the Emperor Alexander,who saw in the measure an obstacle to the atom.
plishment of his ambitious projects, strained every nerve to dissuade air..
It appears that the intrigues of his son.in.law have made hint tot
come to a definitive resolution. "If this report be confirmed," 42,
the letter, " the French cause will prevail in the Councils of Pot,d,en,
for the presumptive heir of the crown is possessed of the most bri:::int
qualities, and has always proved himself a warm supporter et
liberal ideas. But what must particularly tend to remove the fears
of the friends of liberty is, that the young Prince has manifested on
several occasions a decided hatred for the Russians, which repeatedly
drew upon him reproaches from his father, who is attached to Reeds
more through habit than real affection. It is a remarkable fact, that
the latter testified no hostility for the revolution of July, and that his
most assiduous courtiers are those who show the friendliest dispositions
towards France. This letter adds, that like his father, of tragical memory,
Nicholas had formed a scheme for the dismemberment of France, and
considered himself the Hercules destined to destroy the revolutionary
hydra. The intercourse is very active between St. Petersbunp,Vittaa,
and the Hague, and although Prussia does not appear willing to enter
the new Holy Alliance, it is nevertheless well known that it has already
been formed."

FRANCE.

Fran As Gazette de France of Wednesday, Dec. 8.
PARIS, Dix. 7. I

" The France Meridianslc affirms, that orders have been reteivkal et
the foundery in Toulouse to furnish 163 pieces of cannon in the course
of next year. The same journal says there is a report that 15 regi-
ments of infantry and 5 regiments of cavalry are to be assembled at the
foot of the Pyrenees. A report was spread yesterday that several Rut.
sians of distinction had received orders from their Government to-quit
France. This news is not =rect. At the time when orders were
given to all the Russians to withdraw, the persons in question solicited
their friend. in Russia to obtain for them permission to remain in
France; and the latter answered that they would not advise to ask this
favour of the Emperor, who would be displeased at it. It is, therefore,
in consequence of old orders that the Russians would now leave Paris;
and their departure cannot serve to explain the actual sentiments of the
Cabinet of St. Petersburgh.—Le Temps.
"It is said that three Ministers have desired, but without effect.
that a letter should be written in council to intimate to Russia, ti.-1
if its troops should cross the frontiers of Poland, France would eons det
this act as a declaration of war.

EX-MINISTERS OF FRANCE.

lit Objection—Seeree Associations threatened the Goeernasent:
There was but one Association, and so Utde secret was it, that the
Journals reported its proceedings. It was called " Help yourself, and
Hrawsw will belp you." Its object was to inform the country of the
most eligible confidential persons for Deputies, and to advance their
election.

2d Objection—The Gossermansi had the riyht to use force of are.t
to =oilskin obedience to its mandates.

To attack the country, is to excite it to self-defence, and it is evident
that the governing party attacked its rights by ordinances, and the lives
of ha citizens by the arms of soldiers.
3d Objection—The Chamber of Deputies WI not in •:Weller, ft
could net therefore be the accuser.
What difference can it make to the accused whether the Chamber was
or was not legally constituted—that it had or had not the right of ac-
cusing them ; the people had pronounced their judgment in the arm
instance, and their trial must take place. It was very fine for them to
talk of legality ! it was the same as the robber claiming the protection
of the Agrarian Law, or the 115,431411 expressing surprise at a man's
being an executioner.

4th Objection—The ( Menter of Peers is nothing wore thane Coo.
ntiuion.

Supposing this objection had appeared sufficiently strong to induce
the Peers to declare their incompetency, what would be the result?
That the accused would have been set at liberty ?—No ; either the
Government would have established the High Imperial Court, or s
Court similar to that pointed out by the 13th and 44111 Articles of
the Charter—or the Accused, delivered over to the common jutirtm
would bare been sent to the assizes. In any case, their trial must
'have taken place.

The Peen, notwithstanding the absence of sixty-six of their mew.
ben, and the attack directed against their hereditary right, do la
form a commission, but a special tribunal under the 53d article of
'the old charts; they are the judges pointed out by both cbartm
and no other court could take cognisance of this matter without rio-
lating the existing legislation.

sth Objection.—The Judges. in giving their judgment, cannot rely
upon the 56th article. And the 4th article of the penal code says that
no crime can be punishable which wee not indicated by the law.
This objection is of no force ; in detach of a law of uselea specifi-
cation, the peers would have recourse to the penal code; and as this go.
vans the nation, we cannot see how a few individuals could have the
boldness to wish to evade it.

The Ministers and their partisans seem to think that their reirovi•
Why is absolutely connected with the inviolability of the King, not cry
with respect to his life, but also as to the possession of the Crown; ad
that, in expelling Charles the Tenth, the people dismissed than abo.
The Ministers being so entirely convinced of their responsibilq
that one of than, overcome by the entreaties of the King—bl his
prayers and reproaches, said to him, when taking up the pen to sign
the ordinances, " Your Majesty wishes for my head, bare it is for You."
Such are the principal objections which the seamed intend to bring
forward, at least, so it is generally believed; but this examination,
in my opinion, must lead to this conclusion—that their Cruces ae
evident; that the Court at Peen has jurisdiction to try them; ad
that a sentence of guilty, and a atrial judgment must follow.
