PARIS, Fasaaasy 19.
The Journal Pl' the two Sictlies states that the over-
flowing of the Nile has filled the inhabitants with great
hopes respecting the nest crop of cotton, but that it has
destroyed all the sugar plantations in Upper Egypt, so'
that it will be necessary to hare recourse to importa-
tion for the internal consumption.
Letters from Palermu,of the 95th ult. say that Che-
valier de Gaetano Atli, accused of being one of the,
insiders of the revolutionary troubles in 1890, and who
had attempted to blow up the prison in which be was
confioed, bas jest been condemned to death and execu-
ted. All his. accomplices were sentenced to solitary
confinement for different periods, according to the de-
pots of their guilt. Richard Tappuli, condemned to
death for his share in the same conspiracy, bat had his
sentence commuted by the King to hard labour for life.

M. Caulaincoart, Duke of Vicenza, Lieut.-General,
formerly Grand Ecuyer of the Empire, and Minister
for Foreign Affairs, died to-day in his Hotel, No. 57,
Rue St. Lazne, after a long illness, which he bore with
singular fortitude, and which did not prevent him from
preserving that mental vigour, and benevolence of dis-
position, which were natural to him, till his last mo-
ments. The Duke of Vicenza was only.fifty-four years
of age. His funeral will take place on Wednesday,
Feb. 21, in the Church of Our Lady of Loretto.
The Project of the Law relating to the Press has re-
ceived the assent of the Chancery of Rome, and it is
therefore quite clear that these prayers are put up for
its adoption.

PARIS, Fax AAAAA so.
We have already said that the Prejectof Law brought
forward by Peyronnet against the press. was not a,
single instas.ce of the attempts to sup,.reu that rgan
of our liberties, but that it was linked to a long chain
of oaression, the authors of which have been clearly
poi :ted out by Messrs. Royer, Collard. and C. Latour,
on a late occasion In fact, it is nothing less than the
fulfilment of an engagement tittered into with Prince
Metternich on one side, and the Pope on the other. The
first blow being once given, Metternich could easily recur
to his plan of suppressing the publication of Parlia•
rnentary Debates on the Continent. But though our
Ministry may have aided him in his favourite project,'
we doubt if the same complaisance will be found on the'
part of the enlightened and independent Monarchs of
the Netherlands, Bavaria, and Wurtemberg.
Metteinich has vaunted in his salons that in a few
weeks the work would be accomplished ; alluding' to
Peyronneis law ; and the Duke de Laval has made a
communication to the same effect to Iris Holiness, and
received in return the felicitations of the Sacred College.
In the Sitting of the Chamber of Deputies yesterday,
M. Boonett, reporter of the Commission appointed to
inquire into the Project of Law on the Police of the
Press, presented the result of the general discussion
which took place on the subject. The Commi.sion
persists in the amendments of this lass, which constitute
it a law of suppression, rather than a law of prevention.
The Chamber is at present engaged in the discussion
of each of the articles taken separately.

moved that the O, der

Monday be

discharged.
The E irl of LAUDERDALE expressed his sincere
regret at the necessity which existed for such a motion.
As a public man, the country looked at the Noble Earl
whose illness thet lamented, with the greatest regard;
as a private individual his character stood deservedly
most high; and as an opponent Dever bad there been a
fairer or more honourable man. He should rejoice to
learn that even if lost to that House, he (the Earl of
Liverpool) was restored to his private friends. With
respect to the que.tion of the Corn Law% whether he
should think it necessary or not to submit a proposition
Ito their Lordships for further inquiry, he could not now
say; but•tbere would be sulEctent time to ascertain
what should be done, and whatever line of conduct he
should find it fit to adopt, the Noble Earl opposite
should have timely notice.
Lord KING said, that if, as the Noble Secretary of
&ate bad observed, the two leading interests of the
country had been unjustifiably set in array against each'
other, that had arisen horn the unjustifiable delay
which had taken place on the settlement of the ques-
tion. And he now looked for a final settlement with
more despair than ever, since the man who was most
sincere in the business had been removed by illness
from the House.

The Order for Monday was then discharged. -
Lord KING presented Petitions from Great and Little Bolton,
and from Crieff, in the county of Lancaster, praying for an ahem-
titan in the Cora laws. The iket of these had boon put into his
bands sone wraiths age, but he had thought it advisable not to pre-
sent it Oil the question itself should be on the eve of discussion.—
Laid on the table. _ _ _ _

The Num., Baum' then presented a similar Petition from the
Working Classes of Bleckburn, one of the towns which now suf-
fered the greatest distress. He should not deal fairly with their'
Lordships, it he did not tell them that the Petition contained many
hard things against theist. There was, however, nothing irregular ;
but as it was k that they should know what was thought and said
of them; be should move that the Petition be read.
The Petition was then read by the Clerk. It stated, amongst
ether things, that in all that been dime respecting the Corn Bill, the
Legislature bad had no other view than its own aggrandisement at
the ruin of the working classes.
Earl STANHOPE, thinking it inconsistent with the dignity or
duty of the House to receive Petitions couched in language most
offensive, and containing assertions most unfounded, moved that
the present Pion be rejected.
I Lord KIN etitwas totally indifferent whether the Petition were
received or rejected. The Petitioners were in a state of the deepest
distress, and it would be fee their Lordships to determine whether
they would make some allowance for their (cellars under those

The Earl of LIMERICK thought that the Noble Baron him-
self had greatly contributed, year after year, to keep up the irrita-
tion which existed, and which produced such offensive Petitions as
the present.—The questien was then put, and the Petitioo rejected.
Lord KING then presented a Petition to the same effect, but a
quiet one, from the Convener, Deans, and Incorporated Trades
of the City of St. Andrew's. n doing so he would tell the Noble
Earl who bad charged him with having from year to year contri-
bated to the irritation which prevailed, that he would continue to
'do so, till the House did that which was just and right, and that
until his were done, there would be no general or perfect tran-
quillity.
The Petition baying been laid on the table,
The Nosta Baton presented a similar Petition from the Ope-
rative Sawyers of Manchester.—Laid on the table.
The Earl of HARDWICKE presented Petitions from the
Owners of Land of the county of Huntingdon, from those of the
neighbourhood of Wiabeach, and of Wellington, against any altera-
bleu in the Corn Laws.—Laid on the table.
The Earl of ROBEBERRY primped Petitions from the Ma-
gi/unto and Town Council of thy loyal Borough of Linlithgow,
