WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 22.

SS On amount of $ heavy press of matter, $ notice, already in type
of " The Anger* of the Alps," and other matter, are necessarily post-
poned till to-morrow.

This day despatches were received at the Colonial Office
from Major-General Sir Htta.oa.ova Tvnirta, Governor
of Bermuda, dated the 4th of November ; and from
Major-General Sir P. M•ITLAWD, Lieutenant-Governor of
Nova Scotia, dated Halifax, the 25tb, following.

Privets letters in town, from various parts of the north of
Europe, which we have perused this day, convey a variety
of articles of interesting intelligence. We find one state-
ment among these, that CLOPICKI, the Polish Dictator,
has ordered, au pain of death, that no invasion of the neigh-
bouring states should take place.
The intelligence from France is once more alarming,
to all who are interested in the cause of justice, and all
who are interested, that the grand cause of popular liberty
may not receive again a vital stab, from those hands
which have been the cause of its present triumph.—Ever
since the capture of the Ex-Ministers of the exiled
CH mites the Tenth, our Readers must do us the
justice to say, that we have earnestly advocated the
propriety of not visiting, with the barbarous punish-
ment of death, those Ministers who had been the proxi-
mate cause of civil disasters in France. We say, the
proximate cause, as we conceive there were distant causes
of the convulsions which took place in France, which
were only superseded, or called into energy, a little
sooner on that occasion, than they would have been in
the more usual course of events. CH ARLES the TENTH,
and his luckless advisers, have been the originators—not of
the entire advance which popular influence has obtained in
Francs— not of that which was certain, and which was de-
sirable—but of that hazardous, incalculable portion of the
popular influence, which has its source in passion, more than
reason. If the KING and his Ministers merit punishment, we
maintain they merit it more from the hands of the advocates
sod supporters of the old governments of Europe, than from
those who are contemplating to inflict it. Who have called forth,
by their acts, the enthusiasm against what has been termed
legitimacy ? CHARLES the Tenth and his ministers.
—Who proximately caused the popular explosions at Brus-
sels and Warsaw ?—CH• REES the Tenth and his ministers.
Who have prematurely occasioned the present alarming ex-
pression of popular impatience in England ? CHARLES X.
and his Ministers. Who, we may say, have changed our
Administration ? CHARLES X. and his Ministers. Who
will prove to have been the proximate cause of farther
revolations in Italy, and probably throughout all the
states of Europe ? CHARLES X. and his Ministers.
If there be any evil to mankind, in all these con-
sequences, it is derivable from CHARLES THE TENTH
and his Ministers. If there be any good, to them likewise
mast it be attributed. Human beings, so influentially placed,
cannot but be considered as instruments in the scheme of
Providence, to accomplish great changes in mundane affairs,
and that progress of man towards—not an infinite—but in-
definite perfection, which appears the human destiny.
The trial of the prisoners entitles them, according to the
usual principles of justice, to an acquittal of that high culpa-
bility to which death has been—we maintain barbarously—at-
tached. They were wrong in policy : but, probably, intended
as little bloodshed to the Parisians, as KING PH ILIP
and General LA T•TETTE now contemplate, and may be
compelled justifiably, in our opinion, to occasion.

In the House of Lords last night, the most important buai-
ness was the introduction of a bill, to prevent debtors defraud-
ing their creditors, by remaining in prison. As is described
by a morning cotemporary, the object of LordW T i FORD is to
pat an end to the abuse of persons leading luxurious lires,on
that which ought to belong to their creditors. The Bill was
read a first time, and the House adjourned.
The proceedings in the House of Commons were important,
inasmuch as they indicate the growing advocacy of election
by ballot. Pointed reference, in the course of an ani-
mated debate, was again made to the recent elections at
Liverpool and Preston ; and Mr. Hums reiterated

his firm conviction, that nothing less than vote by ballot
would accomplish the reform which is loudly called for. Mr.
Tanutsow feared that reform would be so long delayed,'
as to endanger the institutions of the country. On the other
rind, Sir R Leon protested that the *pont of ballot " was
the fester-nurse of pile and perfidy." Mr. gooneys a, Mr.
HAILVair, Mr. Warrsati; end ils.'ArrarooD.,
all concurrel in the decided opinion; of tbe, necessity of

I,e, A

speedy and effectual reform ; and this interesting debate
was clotted by Mr. CUATTIS declaring his conviction,
that the majority of the pimple, throughout the country,
was not in favour of vote by ballot. After some other
nnimportant business, carried on in a very thin attendance,
the House adjourned till Thursday.
