RITTING OF JANUARY 8.

One of the Petitions reported this day was from the
booksellers of Paris, praying—lst, Fur the free im-
portation into Prance of 'all foreign books-2d, The
imposition of a duty of 150 francs, per metrical
quintal, off all French works originally published in
France, and reprinted in foreign countries—se, The
verification of bales of hoicks coming from foreign
countries, either at the principal points of the fron-
tiers, or at the direction General of books at Paris.—
Referred to the Central Committee on the Budget.
The •discussion on the Election project was re.
armed. • Articles 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19; and 29 were
adopted with some amendments.
The Chamber proceeded to a scrutiny on the whole
project. It•was adopted by a majority of 13V to 100.
The report will' be made to-morrow on the project
respecting individual liberty.
The Sieur Moasau, of Paris, complained that
there was a company named The Bluel Bead, who
buy the finest estates for the purpose of demolishing
the mansions, and selling the iron aid lead; in con-
sequence of which the wealth of France is daily di-
minishing. He proposed that a stop should be put
to these proceedings, by facilitating the formation of
neorates. The Committee, *hiring the indignation
of the Petitioner against the kind of Vandalism of
which he drew so distressing a picture, was of opi-
nion that it could do no other than impress the stamp
of public reprobation en these merciless despoilers,
whose deplorable activity is attested by so many
rtfus ; but as the formation of Majorates which the
Petitioner thinks calculated in part to correct this
abuse, is not in opposition either to the Charter or to
the subsequent Legislative acts, it proposed the order
of the day, which was adopted.

PARIS, JANUARY 9.
The Duke de Richelieu visited the Duke of Wel-
lington yesterday morning, with whom be had a long
conference. The Minister of the Interior visited his
Grace at the same time. The two Ministers came
away together.
They write from Cambray—" Lord Arthur Hill
has been here for some days, on his return from
London. The English army is in a very COOl-
- state." .
A courier sent by the Dube of Wellington to head-1
quarters at Cambray arrived thereon the 2d with in-
structions. It is said that his Grace will return to
Camino in a few days.
A grand solemnity is arranging for the 21st of
January, at the abbey of St. Denis. The remains of
our Kings, which were deposited beneath this abbey
and which were profaned in 1795, were subsequently;
secretly collected by religious and faithful hands, and'
deposited in a cemetery adjoining the church. They
have now been placed in twenty-two leaden coffins,
andoill be deposited with ell suitable pomp in a
vault of the abbey church, which will be converted
'into an expiatory chapel. The Chancellor of France
has been employed by order of his Majesty,in making
an inrytiiy for the purpose of recognizing and distin-
pianos these remains. The same day the remains
of Madames Adelaide and Victoire of France,"disent-
barked at Toulon a month since, will also be de-
posited in a vault of the abbey church. The tombs

Monarchy.

HAMBURCH, DECEMBER so.
Exaggerated reports have been circulated here of
dirmbances in Norway. It Is said shat the peasants
in Upland have revolted, that 7,000 of them went
to Christiana, pillaged the warehouses,• and need the
price of grain, alter liavirl defeated the:troops and
assassinated some of the principal inhabitants. It is
cot true that events•so melancholy have occurred at
Christiana. but it is undeniable that the peasants in
the interior are extremely exasperated against the in.,
habitants of the sea ruts and the merchants, in con-
sequence of die sufferings they endure from a scarcity
of grain.
I.UBEC, DECEMBER es.

Letters from Sweden state, that the Stares of that
Kingdom will assemble about the middle of January.
143ey will be occupied with the reduction of the army.

MITA VECCHIA, DECEMBER 43.

An English frigate has entered this port, and ap-
pears destined for the Eaglish station on our coast.
It is said that it will be reinforced by a ship the
line and three small vessels, having troops on !)oeird.
It is supposed that these troops ate destine' for the
lonian Isles, but that they will not at present pro-
ceed thither.
TRIESTE, DECEMBER 23.
The Sublime Porte has expedited Firmans to the
Barbary Regencies, enjoining them to respect, and
cause to be respected the Flags of Powers with whom
the Porte is at Peace.

The Imperial and Royal Internnncin atConstanti-
nople has addressed the following Declaration to the
Chamber of Commerce, in order to satisfy the Mer-
chants, Manufacturers, and Ship-owners:—
" The Ottoman Porte, faithful to its engagements coomacted
by the Treaty of 1785, renewed in 1815, is rerly to give com-
pensation for the depredations comm tied by the Barbary Powers,
should the latter refuse to do it, and has addressed new Forrnans
to the Barbary Reg, news, ordering them to respect the Austrian
flag. We have tease*. to believe that these injunctions will pro-
duce the desired effect."
This act is considered remarkable, from the juris-
diction assumed by the Porte. in the transactions of
the Regencies with the Christian Powers, and it is
attributed to the effect produced by Lord Exmouth's
victory.
ROME, DECEMBER. 19.

It is stated that the Emperor of Austria, on the
reiterated demands of the Court of Naples, strongly
supported by Prince Leopold, has at length deter-
, mined that the Austrian troops shall evacuate the
Kingdom of Naples. A part of these troops are to
be cantoned during the winter in Upper and Middle
Italy ; the other part will embark in the Neapolitan
ports to proceed to Dalmatia and Albania. There
is no talk of the evacuation of the States of the
Church by the Austrian troops, although the Court
of Rome made some time since strong representa-
tions upon the subject.

FLANDERS MAIL.

HAMBUROH, JANUARY N.

Here abe we bare accounts that the French Go.
vernment has applied to the tallied Powers to have
the number of their troops reduced; and. it is thought
that upon certain conditions tbimrsiguest, is very likely
to be complied with.

BRUSSELS, JANUARY 4.
Hitherto there has been at Cambray a mixed com-
mission charged with furnishing the troops of the
right wing of the Army of Occupation with the ne.
cessary provisions and forage. This commission is.
now dissolved in consequence of orders from the Mi-
nister at War, and a Commissary provides by special
nseasnres. In case of need this Commissary can call
on or even comifel the Communes Which are known
to have laid up more corn 01411 they want, to deliver
a certain quantity of grain which is to be paid tor
immediately. Commissioners are already traversing
for this purpose Picardy, Artois, and French flan-
den, in order to procure the necessary means to fulfil
the arrangements made between the French Govern-
ment and the Allied Powers.

The departure of the Duke of Wellington to Lon-
don was quite unexpected; however the most com-
plete tranquillity prevails in that part of France ;
some trifling excesses of single soldiers have been ri-
gorously punished, which ha; had a very good effect.
With respect to the report that has been spread
that the Army of Occupation will be diminished one-
third. and so reduced to 100,000, there is reason to
suppose that it is entirely without foundation.
The letters from Cambray say, that on the lit
there arrived there a courier from London with dis-
patches from the Duke of Wellington to the Gene-
ral who has the command during his absences these
dispatches have doubtless brought fresh instructions,
for many superior Officers who were on the point of
going to Paris remain till further orders at the bead-
quarters--.other Officers departed immediately on the
receipt of the dispatches--it is thought this they are
recalled, and that others itibl come in their room;
all this gives rise to various conjectures. Four hun-
dred British soldiers who have left the Army on fur-
lough, have been immediately replaced by others;
the Contingents are all more than complete, and
*Nen we consider the men, their appearance, their
discipline, the artillery, the train, etc. the army is
certainly one of the Boat ever seen- in Enrope. '
They write from France that the Legion of die
Make, 1000 strong, is expected at Lisle, to form
part of ibe garrison of that important plate. Two
other Departmental Legions are expected from Nor-
mandy and Picardy. A general movement is ob-
served among the Fritsch troops in the .Northertf
Departtiseots, which is supposed to have so other
object than a change ot garrisons. We learn limber
from. Pawn, that gin inhabitants of the Depart.
ments of the Maine, the Moselle, and the Ardenaes,
have sent Memorials to the Government, containing
a description of the. melancholy situation in which
they as and at the same time requesting his Ma-
jesty to nu his endeavour with the Allies, in order
to obtain a diminution of the troops in those Pro-
vinces, as they are so exhausted that they will sow,
be unable to bear such burdens. It is added, that
the Depaetntents crin!poiing Lorraine and Alsace
have made emits, peutions, the effect of which Wow
will thaw.

It is reported with confidence in the Ministerial
Circles, that no Loan will be required for the service
of the current year; and that such arrangements
have been made as will enable Ministers to meet
every exigency by the aid of an issue of only Eight
or Nine Millions of Exchequer Bills, not all at once,
but at different periods of the year.

The Paris Papers of Wednesday, of which we
announced the arrival as our Paper was going to
press on Saturday, contained some further proceed-
ings of the Chamber of Deputies on the subordinate
regulations of the Law of Election; and those of
Thursday and Friday, which we have also since re-
ceived, furnish us with the definitive termination of
this important discussion.—ln the course of these
adjourned Sittings, the remaining articles of the
Pr. ject, from the 7th to the 90th, were successively
discussed, and after some slight modifications,
adopted. The Chamber then proceeded to vote de-
finitively on the whole of the law, when, out of
232 Members present, in voted in favour of the
law; and 100 against it; thus confirming by an in-
creased majority the previous triumph of Ministers
on the leading articles of the project.
The Report of the Commission on the Plan of
Law relative to individual liberty, was fixed for dis-
cuuion on Friday; and as soon as that is disposed of
it is understood that the labours of the Commission
upon the Budget will be submitted to the Chamber.

Since the interview of the Duke of WaLumnrou
with the Kiro, he has also had a long private cage.
fence with the Doke of RICHZLIZU and M. LAINIL
It is generally believed that his Grace will remain
stationary at Paris for some time.
The French Funds bate advanced upwards of two
per cent. ; and there can be no doubt this improve-
ment is owing to the triumph of Ministers, in the
line of liberal policy which they hive adopted. The
broader the basis of any Government, the greater
will always be the confidence of the monied interest
in the security of its obligations.

Two Dutch Mails arrived yesterday, from which
we have given some extracts in a preceding column ;
and this morning a Flanders Mail arrived, from
which we have subjoined every thing worthy of notice.

The Dutch Papers auert,•that the French Govern-
ment has not succeeded in its application to the
Mired Powers. to reduce the number of the Army of
Occupation. On the contrary, all vacancies are filled
up regularly, and it appears that many Office,: of
rank are proceeding to Paris to wait the orders of
the Commander in Chief.

Every where the alarm of scarcity produces more
or less distress. When there is a sufficiency, the
people are'alarmed lest it should be carried to other
places, and the price is enhanced by the machinations
of speculators; and when there is an actual deficiency
the people are suffering severely, being at the same
time in want of sufficient employment to furnish the
means to enable them to bay bread.

In the Netherlands, the Ecckviastics excite much
discontent. They are working on the consciences of
the weak, the imbecile and dying, in a way which
must certainly cause the Government to visit this
body with some wholesome civil discipline.
