PARIS PAPERS.

PARIS, SATURDAT.—The Chamber of De-
puties on Thursday assembled for the purpose of,
proceeding to the periodical election of the Pre-
sidents and Secretaries of the Standing Com-
mittees. On the last occasion Ministerial deputies
were almost invariably chosen, but yesterday, of
the nine committees, seven elected members of the
opposition, and two only (the 4th and 7th) nomi-
nated friends to the administration. The Opposition
journals spenk of this with great triumph, as afford-
ing a proof that M. l'erier has lost ground in the esti-
mation of the Chamber since the commencement
of the session, %bile La France Nouvelle (the
organ of Ministers) merely laments that the mem-
bers of the majority considered the affair as too
secure or unimportant, and neglected to attend the
session, while the members of the Opposition, on
the contrary, mustered in full force. The fol-
lowing is the list of the new presidents and secre-
taries :

Committee. President. Secretary.
let General Lafayette M. Salverte
2d Baron de Brigade 31. Gillen
3d 31. Berenger 31. Vatout
th 31. Duebetel Al. Dugas Montbel

6th Count Dclaborde M. de Tracy
7th U. Adler M. Camille Perky
Bth Al. Bignon M. Oanneron

The meeting of Deputies which holds its sit-
tings at Lointier's, and which now amounts to
.. _

112 members, has classed itself into the following
seven committees, namely, for Justice and Legis-
lation, Worship and Public Instruction, the Fi-
nances and Customs, Public Works and Com-
merce, Foreign Affairs, War and the Marine. A
special committee has also been formed for the
consideration of all proposals made to the Chamber
on the important question of the Peerage, whether
by the Government, or by any individual Deputy.
This committee is composed of Gen. Lafayette,
Gen. Lsmarque, and Messrs. Odillon Barrot,
Maugnin, Merilhou, Taillandier, Comte, Dubois
Arne, de Tracy, and Cormenin. Its labours have
already commenced.—Courrier Frnncais.
Yesterday, in spite of an eloquent appeal of M.
Barthelemy, editor of the Nemesis, he was con-1
idemned to the minimum of the law—one month's
imprisonment, and 200 francs fine, for publishing
a paper without giving the security required by law.
Letters which we have received from Madrid, of
the 18th current, announce that extremely fre-
quent communications are made between the Cabi-
nets of Lisbon and Madrid. Intentions of the
Spanish Government are announced to march some
corps of troops near the frontiers of Portugal.—
Quotidienne.

In spite of the contradiction 3 of the official jour-
nals respecting Marshal Macdonald, it is true that
he has quitted the Howl of the Chancellery, and
hes offered his resignation.— Courrier Francais.
Baron And* diplomatic agent of France at the
Cuurt of Vienna, arrived yesterday at Paris. He
was sent as Extraordinary Courier to Paris by our
Ambassador at Vienna.—Courrier Francais.

The official Journal of the Hague, the Staats-
Courant, contains in its number of the 19th of this
month, an order in date of the 16th, from which a
contingent of 4000 men of the militia, taken in
the years 1827, 1828, 1829, and 1830, are called
under the flags; the conditions of the order
stating that they are destined to complete the squa-
drons of the army ; a second order moves the
communal guards of the year 1831. The In-
dependant, Journal of Brussels, in announcing
these measures of the Dutch Government,
adds : " These orders make it clear that King
William is not advised to abandon his party, and
will cause our Minister of War to feel the neces-
sity and urgency of putting our army upon a com-
plete footing of war. What has passed will serve
lus for a lesson, and ought to put us on our guard
not to be surprised a second time. Others ise, we
should be unworthy to be counted in the rank of
free end independent nations." The Prince of
Orange has returned to the Hague. Prince Fre-
deric retakes the general command of the army, of
which the general quarter is established at the
Hague. Belgium has not yet obtained a new ar-
mistice regularly of Holland. The negociations
for the conclusion of a definitive peace between
these two states, are then still but in train.—Na-
atonal.
