French Papers d ,Friday and Saturday have been
rived : the latter, which came by express, are
:d with the report of a •ery interesting debate,
ich took place in the Chamber of Deputies on the
Nling day, and which exhibits, in a striking
titer, the state of parties in the Chamber. The
le originated in a Petition from M. Spy, which

jed what the Ministers have been endeavouring
carry into effect, that offences of the Press should
tried by Judges, and cease to be submitted to a
.y. It was proposed to refer this Petition to the
)mittee appointed to examine the Law Project
the Offences of the Press. M. FOY opposed the
:inn, and said the Chamber ought to pass to the
Jer of the Day, because the Petitioner applied for
law diametrically opposed to the Chatter. It was,
said, an insult to the Throne and to the Chamber,

the Petition should be 'ejected with contempt.
M. de CHAUVELIN followed on the same side, and
'fanned in severe terms the conduct of the Co-
vent in respect to the Censorship, which was
:ised in a very partial manner, tolerating insults,
tolerating them on one side only. The Censor-
1, he said, prevented discussion ; and he would
a pool* of it in their Circular to the Journalists,
taking the insertion of any article of discussion
the Law Project relating to the Journals, and de-
-ing that they had found it necessary to refuse all
:les presented to them since the 6.h of the month.
M. BENJAMIN CoNsva N'r sail the Censorship was
more vexatious or more scandalous than at the
moment. Several other Members spoke on
same side, and the discussion was rather a stormy
The Ministers disavow the Circular of the'
irs ; and, from a view of all the circumstances,
pears probable that, in order to retain their places,
well as conciliate the Chamber, they will abandon
most obnoxious part of their new law on the
Indeed, we think they must do itt‘for, judging
the spirit which pervades the Chamber of Depu-
and their decided hostility to the measure, it is
likely that the Ministers can carry it.

Tlie Papers of Friday contain nothing interesting,
'IA the account of the death of the Duchess of
1 BoußauN, who, when paying her devotions at the
Church of St. Genevieve, was taken suddenly ill, and
died within a few hours after,
Au article from Constantinople, dated the 11th of
December, states, that the Porte had notified ptrblicly
that the Scbah of Persia had disavowed all the acts
sf hostility carried on by his son in the invasion of
Kurdistan. This news is not, however, entitled to
credit, as the Persians were known to be encamped
rear Erzerurn so late as the 26th of November. The
.
speculations in these Papers, respecting the Russian
ultimatum, are not entitled to the slightest notice.—
'Tim
intelligence
from Spais, is. less recent than that
already received direct from Madrid.

Extract of a letter from Bermuda, dated Novem-
hl (4):—" In consequence of accounts from Nor

' Yolk of the failure of the crops in England, flour has
advanced in this market to 88s. per bushel by retail;
corn, one dollar per bushel; and other dry provisions
iu the same proportion. This rise proceeded from
the above information, and not from any demand in
this market."

Extract of a letter from Quebec, dated December 4:
—" Thenavigation has closed : the first floating ice
on the St. Lawren.ce made its appearance on the 29th
of November. On Tuesday morning the Swiftsure
left this city, on her last trip for Montreal ; and the
same day the London, being the last vessel ready for
sea, sailed for Liverpool. The steam ferry-boat has
been laid up for the winter. The wind, since Sunday
afteinoon, has continued westerly, so that there is a
prospect of all the vessels, which met no accident in
the bale of Saturday night, having got safe out of,
the river."

Porto Cabello was still in possession of the Boy.:
Alists on the 2d of November. The inhabitants and
troops were d)ing very fast of the dysentery, which
:vas caused by their not being able to procure fresh
provisions, vegetables, or good water.
Extract of a letter from St. John's, New Brunswick,
dated December 1 It gives us pleasure to learn
that our Western neighbours have been successful in
capturing four of the piratical vessels that have made
:o much havoc of late among the regular traders be•
tween the port of St. John's and the West Indies.—..
We trust that our own Government will promptly
imitate the example, with equal success.*
