THE REFRACTORT SEZATEN.

The refractory seamen in the Northern pert!, we
bstee ro.isoit to believe, by this time, have returned to,
a propts sense of their duty. Saturday last was the
day on which thcir courage was to be put to the test
in a bdcwese • in a good one it WAS unnecessary.
All the military and naval forces stationed at
North and 4outh Shisdds having been assembled un-
der the command of Major-General Rim? and Cap-
tain Totten, and the military, both infantry and ca-
valry, being poited on the north side, a dispt4ition
teas made to send to sea as many vessels with cosls
as could be manned ; and on the p.i:t of the refrac-
tpry seamen these also appeared an intention to resist
the proeee4ings of the Xiug's Corse*. The seamen
collettel to the number of several thousands; but
none Repeated in arms. The Mayor of Newcastle,
and the Magistrate a on the spot, as well as those from
the neighbouring sea ports, held consultations with
the military and- naval Commanders, with a view,
that if force should prove necessary, it might be used
With as little liloodsbed as possible. A body of ma-
rines first ionic possession of the bridge of boats,
which formed the passage for the sailors between the
Noah and South side' of the River, and the "latter
being thus degrived of the 'means of escape : the ca-
valry on.the north side made snore of a demonstra-
tion, than of a real charge against them. This was
enticient, however, to drive them to the river side,
and place them entirely at the mercy of the soldiers,
find accordingly they sought their safety in*disper-
lion and flight. The Commanders of the forces an.
'griming such an* event; had ordered a particular
look out to be kept for the Committee, who were known
by thiir drets. • The greatest part of them seized a
boat, and attempted their escape by water, but were
astade vitoners in their flight. The King's ships now
iffosfing a tallyiag point for those sailors, who had
been ritained by the Committee against their will,
several of them resigned themtelves up, and offered
to piesCii:d instantly to sea with any vessels that might
be ready. With these men and the apprentices in
the hatbzur, Captain Totest was enabled,' we under.
standito- send to sea front 'ld to 25 colliers. Soon
after the Rioters had been put 50 flight, the PRINCE
Recesses Proclamation arrived, and little doubt was
entertained at Shields, but that the seamen, with one
accord, would give up is cause so unworthy of a Bri-
tt4ll Sailor.

In the course of yesterday, Admiral Sir CHARLES
ROWLEY orrupanding at the Nora, arrived at the
consult en further measures, which, it
is to be hoPed, may now be unnecessary*. '

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.
SITTING OY OCTOBER S.

• SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT.
Developement of the proposition for making certain
amendments in the regulations of the Chamber, as
established on the 25th of June, 1815.
The amendments now prop ised were developed by
the Chevalier Maine de Biran. _ _

After an introduction referring to the effect of the
existing regulationi, as framed in the last year from
the beet conceptions, sttegested by observation upon
the practice ca former Assemblies, and proved by the
subsequent experience of the Session, they were still
found to require some modifications, the most ob-
vious of which he would touch upon in a summary
way. It was settled that the four Vice-Presidents,
chi:nen sessionally, and the two Secretaries, should
have the honour of waiting on the wing, with the
President, in the communic-tions, as organs of the
Assembly, upon projects of law. In order to give
the opportunity of thus appearing in his Majesty's
presence to as many as possible, it would seem but
reasonable to cause.new Secretaries to be chosen every
month ; the functions of. the Vice-Presidents being
more important, it was best still to allow them to re-
main in office the full period of the Session, in order
to prove themselves worthy of the choice of the As-
sembly. According to the present regulations, any
eiebee et:tering to speak was required to mount the
tribune; this was inconsistent with the conversational
remarks which were frequently called forth in the
course of every discussion ; he should propose, there-
fore, that simple observations should be uttered by
'the Members in their respective places, that only the
formal anal detailed written speecnes should be spoken
from the Tribunes as now. Wish respect to these
written speeches, the abuse of which pushed to ex-
tremity in the last Chamber of Deputies, so much
fatigued the Assembly and the press, it would pro-
bably be thought right, if not to suppress them alto-
' gether, at least to restrain within certain limits. The
particular occasions to which they should be limited,
he proposed should be the following :
Reports made in the name of Committees.
D,velopements of propositions.
Two epeeches on each project of a law, one in sup-
port of it, the other against it. •
In respect to projects of laws, there are at present
four particular stages, the proposition being always
made in Secret Committee. In the first, the prop:J:l-
- is deposited in writing on the bureaux, and
posted ; in the second, it is read from the Tribune in
public Sitting in the third, it is developed in a de-
tailed speech ; in the fourth, the proposition is dis-
cussed tor the last time, always in, Secret Committee.
A question has arisen as to the propriety of allowing
this public reedit% and develeperneut on all occa-
sions, when, after possessing the popular mind with
the sentiments thus conveyed, the measure might be
ultimately rejected upon the fourth discussion, in the
Secret Committee. It would seem that the reason-
able mode of adjusting the differences on this point,
would be to arrange that every measure proposed in
the Assembly should be first read. in Secret Commit.
tee, *and that after this reading, which should present
a short analysis of all the clauses, the sense ot &he
Chamber should be take') by special vote, as to whe-
ther the developemeut' should take place in Public
Sitting or in Secret General Committee.
The next point is that of Petitions--;•the unlimited
range heretofore allowed the number to be presented
m the last Session upon matters of all descriptions,
some Where the Chamber had no authority, some al-
together absurd and ridiculous, sonic marked with a
spirit of fairien designed to agitate the Assembly and
to create divisions in it, to lay snares for it by den,
gernus questions, or to excite public distrust as to
their proceedings and intentions. In order to stop
these abuses, it might be proper, in the first instance,
to determine the nature of the right of petition, and
to confine it within its proper limits; but without en-
tering into that delicate question, the object now was
eo regulate the nitieley of presenting and proceeding.
It is pi posed, in thisetiew, that nu petition should
be presented, the propriety of the cot tents of Which
-weir not 'vouched by one Member, with his signature
affixed, upon which it should be placed in the hands
of die President, by wlitim it shall be placed on the
bureaux for general iuseection ; thence it :ball be sent
to a Committee fo report to the Chamber upon the
matter thereof, awing those which `should be reported
is Public Sitting, whichin rrivate Sitting, and which
was altogether inadmissiblel With respect tq
excluded under the'li4 description, if nine Me**
Certify in favour p 1 illy petition, so excluded, iestielf
be taken into consideration by the Chamber. Tlendoe
'elopement dken proceeds to it ifttial citation rf

rep,ul4tions to be amended ; with the alterations pa.'
posed, whether by omission, by addition, or by sub-
stitution. Among the new propositions is one or-
dering the public speeches made by the consent and
authority of the Chamber, to be printed at the publi;
ex cote. In all other instances the Members chus;ng
to print their speeches are at liberty to do so at their
own charge.
