withstanding their incompetency* and their having
forfeited the confidence of all parties.

And there an end."
But now the French Ministers, after all their defeats,

rise aPbh

With twenty mortal gashes en their. heads;"
not so much to push others from their stools, as to
retain their own. The Chamber of Deputies do not
see their way so clearly as a British House of Com•
mons would on a similar occasion; but if the spirit
which it has already manifested still pervades, it will
be impossible for the Ministers to carry that odious
measure on which they seem so determined—a fur-
ther restraint on the Liberty of the Press.
It is known that the Address to the Kum of the
25th of November, was discussed in a Secret Com-
mittee. The proceedings have, however, transpired;
and. from the language held in this Committee—the
strong condemnation of the system, with respect to
foreign relations, pursued by the Government—the
daring attacks male by both extremities of the Cham-
ber on the conduct of Austria, as well as Russia—Abe
loud demand for a more bold and dignified course—it
is impossible not to. see the dawning of some great
change in Europe.
That the Duke de RIcIIELIFV may wish to sacri-
fice the honour and interests of his country to the po-
licy of the Emperor of RUSSIA, in whose service he
was for many years as Governor of Odessa, and in
other capacities, is extremely probable; but France.
itself can have no motives of gratitude to the Russian
Autocrat, and will not see herself sacrificed by the
weakness or wickedness of her Ministers; for the
honour and interests of Frenchmen must be more dear
to them than the gratification of Russia, Austria, or
any other Power whatever.

The news from Spain is of a melancholy nature
we hare no time for comments, but ample details will
be found in another part of our Journal.

Brussels Papers to th• &h instant arrived this
morning. A letter from Frankfort, dated November
30, says—" According to private letters from Venice,
the quarantine of that City is crowded with Greeks
and Franks, who have fled from the Isle of Cyprus,
as well as of Jews who have Bed from Palestine,
to escape the cruelty of the Turkish Governors, who

proceed in the most tyrannical manner. Several in-
habitants of the island of Zante, banished by the Eng-
lish Government, have also arrived at Venice.—
The arrest of the Servian Deputies at Constantinople
is confirmed. It is the most impolitic step ever taken
lby the Porte, and one which in present circumstances
may have the most disastrous consequences."

Di v ine fiery ice was yesterday performed at Brighton,
in the presence of the KING, Suite, and Family, by the
Dean of HEREFORD and Dr. PEARSON.
Saturday, about one o'clock, the Princess AUGUSTA
left town, in .4 carriage and four, for Windsor. Her
Royal Highness afterwards, accompanied by the
Duchess of GLOUCESTER, visited Frogmore. The
town was brilliantly illuminated on the occasion.
A variety of letters and papers have been received
from Chili, up to the date of the 19th of August,
communicating additional details of circumstances
attending the tall of Lima. The proceedings of the
Government newly declared independent, discover
vigour and promptitude. On the 16th of July, the
first Gazette of " Independent Peru" was issued, and
its commencing words are a tribute of gratitude to
the men by whom that independence had been con-
ferred. Among these, the gallant Lord CocHaANQis
not forgotten, who isdesignated as the "intrepid Coch-
rane, v. ho renounced the honours of his own country,
to confer happiness and liberty on the human race."
GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY OF CHILI.
SANTIAGO. AUGUST 15.

It is not possible to describe the demonstrations of
joy with which the people of Chili celebrated the
news received of the liberation of the Capital of Peru,
'accomplished by the valour and wisdom of General
San Martin. At two o'clock in the afternoon of the
13th instant, arrived the first notice communicated
by the Governor of Valparaiso, inclosing a duplicate
of a dispatch from the General-in-Chief. Neverthe-
less, as there were some papers worthy of credit in
circulation, which announced the success, and the
dispatch of the Governor said expressly that Lima
had been freed by the arms of the country, a salvo
of artillery, and general ringing of bells, served as a
'signal for collecting an immense crowd to the Direc-
tonal Palace, where, being assured of its truth, the
highest testimonies of pleasure were exhibited. No
other expressions were beard than those of ,4 Live
our Country—Live America—Live our Brothers the
Peruvians—Long Life to the Heroes San Martin and
O'Higgins 1" This acclamation of enthusiasm ex-
tended rapidly to all the corners of the city, accom-
panied with the firing of rockets, which did not cease
till the morning of the 14th. The whole of the city
was illuminated in the night; military music pa-
raded the streets ; and the whole people were em-
ployed in singing national songs and shouting victory.
—At ten o'clock in the morning of the 14th, the co-
lours of ltancagua, which were recovered in Lima,
entered the city. An immense concourse of people
again occupied the Directorial Palace, with the same
demonstrations of joy, mingled with tender feeling,
at the sight of the colours of our country, retaken by
the brave men who exerted themselves for the liberty
of our brethren. To satisfy, in some measure, thetr-
desires, it was necessary to read the official dispatches
