counter-revolution incompatible with the public liberty,
gin but expression to the idea reigning in the country,
and stirring all capacities. This was a great service ; and
it is necessary at this moment more than ever to
remember it. The nations worthy to be free have expressed
their national thoughts; Belgium, Switzerland, Poland, are
re-conquering' their sovereignty; they will enjoy their
rights, and despotism will fly these regions. The French
revolution will serve them as a safe-guard, as it will serve
as an example. Their security is the pledge of our
own security ; it is a political necessity for us to defend
them as the nationtd defence ; it is a necessary compact be-
tween free people, when the sovereignty of one is menaced,
it is a peril for all. Powerful are these truths, if well un-
derstood ; Power, in fact, to the year 1831 to finish the
work of 1830 !"—Le Constilutionnel.

Adieu to 1830. Years roll on without bringing more of
happiness to those who suffer, or more illumination to those
who govern. The voice of the past prophecies in vain ; it is
exhausted without success, for political blindness dissi-
pates the present, without regard for the future. Leave,
then, power to its accustomed infatuation. Our words strike
upon its ears in vain. And then we must no more speak to
the people! To those people who gave their blood, and who
received the penalty of trusting ! To whom, then, shall we
address ourselves ? But nevertheless, a remembrance to
you, brave friends, who fought and died to make us free !
No: your glory will not perish.—Le

On Wednesday evening the President and Secretaries of
the Chamber of Peers had the honour to be received by the
King, to present the law project for appropriating the sur-
plus of the Emigrant Indemnity Fund. At eight o'clock
his Majesty held a council of ministers. Yesterday M. Gen-
debien, Belgian envoy, was presented by the Minister for

According to advices of the 15th inst. from Lisbon, Mr.
Lamb arrived there on the preceding day, on board the Eng-
lish packet. He is to go to Madrid as British Minister to
the Court of Spain. Mr. Lamb transmitted to the Spanish
Minister at Lisbon dispatches of so much importance, that
they gave rise to an immediate conference at the Palace of
Quelus, between the King and the Spanish Ambassador.
As exchange is about to be established at Madrid, similar
to that of Paris, for which a sufficient number of stock-brokers
are to be appointed.
The French Consul at Tangiers writes, under the due of
December 7, that the Emperor of Morocco has .formed the
resolution of selling all the corn he has in reserve, and
that M. Harden, a merchant at Tangiers, is charged with
the sale of it. The export is to take place by the ports
of Larache, Rabat, Darberda, Maxsagan, Sally, and Moga-
dor. Cadiz is to be the central point where M. Harden in-
tends to carry on his transactions.
From to-morrow the salaries of the Prefects, the expenses
for the administration of the Prefectures, and the salaries of
the Secretaries-General of Prefecture, will be reduced. Ac-

cording to a statement published in the Moniteur, it appears

1.661,000 francs, the expenses for the administration of the
IPrefectures to 2,886,000 fr. and the salaries of the Secrets-
ries-General to 241,200 fr. The highest salary is that of
the Prefect of the Seine (50,000 fr.) the lowest 1,500 fr. Ten
Prefects receive the latter salary. The Secretaries-General I
receive from 2,400 fr. to 6,000 fr. The expenses for the ad-
ministration vary from 21,000 fr. to 210,000 fr. per de-
partment.

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, Dec. 31.
The President, M. Casimir Perrier, took the Chair at one
o'clock ; but at half-past two, the Deputies not being in a
sufficient number to deliberate, the appel nominal was called
for by the Centres. This operation lasted till three o'clock,
when the Cbamber resumed the deliberation on the organi-
zation of the National Guard.

The Chamber decided, after a desultory discussion, in
which M. C. Dupin and Voyer d'Argenson were heard, that
the young men of 18 to 20 years of age, enlisted in the
detached corps of the National Guard, should still be sub-
jected to the conscription law, but that their services in
those corps should be counted to them ; that the Council of
Recensement should choose the national guards who are to
form part of these detached corps, in the following order,
viz. the unmarried men, 20 widowers without chiluren, 30
married men without children, and, lastly, married men
with children; that these choices be made among the men
without children who are from 20 to 35 years of age, and
the others between the ages of 20 and 30, beginning with
the youngest.

Dac. 30.—The Minister of the Interior has at last pre-
sented the project for the law of election which has been so
long expected, and which has probably undergone many
changes in the midst of the vicissitudes experienced by its
different framers.

By this project the sum required to constitute eligibility
amounts to 500 francs; it allows a proportionate calculation
fur those electors who, on account of their imposts, shall be
called on to form part of the electoral colleges; and it in-
cremes and completes the electoral lists by large additions,
partly borrowed from the Jury lists established by the law of
1828.
The present law retains in a special manner the reserved
provisions of the ancient laws which it has abrogated. Thus
the Legislature renounces the former method of reference to
the electoral colleges, which has been so long the cause of
much confusion and injustice.
Belgian speculators, who are anxious to make shipments
to America, or other parts, in vessels lading in the ports of
France, can send them, in any way they think proper, to
Dunkirk, through the office of Zudcoote, and, as soon as
they have arrived at Dunkirk, they shall be forwarded,
by sea, to any French port direct, without a permit.
This must prove a great advantage to the commerce of
Belgium, and the people of that country ought to feel con-
vinced of the friendly feeling of the French government.
However, those facilities for the imports and exports cannot
be allowed, except when the Belgian ports are blockaded.
The foliating are the conditions upon which goods can be
