EXPRESS FROM PARIS.
DEATH OF THE POPE.

Last night Government received Intelligence of the death of Pope
Pius VIII. His late Holiness, Francois Xavier Castiglione, was
horn at Cingoli on the 20th of November, 1761, elected to the Pope.
dont on the 31st of March, 1829, and crowned on the sth of April
following. Before the Holy Father was confined to his bed, he occu.
pied himself upon some indispensable affairs. He directed that all let-
ters addressed to him on the actual state of things in France and Bel.
gium, should be answered with the strictest punctuality by briefs which
he himself dictated, and which breathe a love of order and of peace.

From Ik. Constitulionnet of Wednesday.
We have received a number of private letters, which announce that
a great change has just been effected at Berlin. The Prussian troops
who were on our frontiers are retiring, and bending towards the interior.
Two Prussians have purchased 3,000 tri-coloured cockades at Metz.—
We are awaiting the confirmation of this news, which has been received
from respectable sources. We can add that, in the ithenish Provinces,
an ardent sympathy bas been evinced for our revolution.

From the Journal des Debate.
PARIS, Dic. 7.
The Government received intelligence this evening of the death of
l'ope Pius VIII.

(From the Courrier Francois of Wednesday.)
The tieulinelle Gruevoise contains the following paragraph
" The city of Fribourg is in a state of excitement which it would be
difficult to describe. It is said that the petitioners, instead of delibe-
rating at the inns, as stated in the Cowrie,' Friaurgeois, are march-
ing en muse upon the city. The petition of the inhabitants of Morat,
demands the expulsion of the Jesuits, the abolition of the patrician pri.
vilege, and a Constitution based upon the principles of natural equality."
During the debate upon this petition two pieces of cannon, charged
with grape shot were pointed against the people assembled outside
the Hotel de Ville, and orders had been given by one of the prim
ciple Magistrates to fire upon the multitude upon the that sign of
disturbance.

The Journal de Paris of Wednesday, contains a Proclamation,
said to have been issued within the last few days by the Duke of
Brunswick, on his re-appearance in his States, and having for object
his testoration of the Sovereign authority. It is added, that the Prince,
in order to insure a favourable reception, provided himself, before
entering Germany, with some thousand tricoloured cockades.

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, DEC. 8.
Before the opening of the Sitting to-day, the Deputies assembled
in the Hall of Conferences, were discussing a letter received from
Berlin, in which it was mentioned that " the King of Prussia, dis-
gusted with Royalty, had resolved on abdicating in favour of his son."
This sovereign had already expressed that intention several years ago, and
the Emperor Alczander,who saw in the measure an obstacle to the accom.
plishment of his ambitious projects, strained every nerve to dissuade his.
It appears that the intrigues of his son-in-law have made him now
come to a definitive resolution. "If this report be confirmed," adds
the letter, " the French cause will prevail in the Councils of Potsdam,
for the presumptive heir of the crown is of the most brilliant
qualities, and has always proved himself supporter of 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 oc-
casions a decided hatred for the Russians, which repeatedly drew upon
him reproaches from his father, who is attached to Russia 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 moat assiduous
courtiers are those who show the friendliest disposition towards France,
This letter adds, that like his father, of tragical memory, Nicolas
had farmed a scheme for the dismemberment of France, and considered
himself the Hercules destined to destroy the revolutionary hydra. The
intercourse is very active between Petersburg, Vienna, 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.

At one o'clock M. Casimir Perrier took the Chair.
The question of the order of the day was the project relative to the
suppression of the Juges Auditeurs.
M. Isansbert voted for the abolition of the useless institutions, at
the same time that he gave it as his opinion that the Conseiller,
Auditeurs now filling that situation should be preserved, but that
for the future they should have only a consulting voice.
M. Renouard would rather vote for the suppression of the CUR.
seillers Aaditeurs than place them in a subordinate and false position,
since they are still magistrates, and might be even sometimes called to
preside at the Courts of Assizes.
M. Pause made a long digression on the danger of a collision with
the Chamber of Peers, who had framed the law now in discussion.
The suppression of the Conseillers Auditeurs (said he) would be most
injurious to the service of the Royal Courts.
The President then put to the vote the Ist article of the law,
" the Juges Auditeurs are suppressed, and will instantly cease their
functions," which was adopted.
The 2d article, relative to the preservation of the Conseillers Audi.
teurs, gave rise to a discussion, in which N. Podenas said, that if it were
only for the scandalous example set by these Councillors, in perjuring
themselves to preserve their places under the new dynasty, they de.
served to be suppressed. They form now (added he) a discredited body,
and can never recover public confidence.
M. Dupla said that the immovability of the judges was proclaimed
by the Charter—voted by the present Chamber. lie could not see why
it should be so often questioned by the very framers of the law. He then
refuted the charge of perjury brought against the Conseillers Auditeurs
by M. Podenas. No man, said he, should scrutinize into the consciences
of magistrates who had taken an oath of allegiauce to the country, the
laws, and the King. He voted for the project, and against N. Podenas'
proposition.
After a few observations. from M. ALBERT and M. DAUNANT, the
Chamber decided that the Conseillers Auditeurs, amounting to about
100 for the whole of France, should continue their functions, but that
no others should be appointed for the future; that the Juges floppies:is
might be called upon to exercise judicial functions, if necessity re.
quered it, and that their salary be fixed at I,EOO francs per annum.
The number of the votes in favour of the law was NI ; against it 19.
