HOUSE OF REI9ItESENTATIVEB.—Jes. 17.
Mr. Willianison laid on the table the following—
Beloleeil—Th-st the President of the United States,
be requested, to lay before this house, such informa-
tion, as he may possess in relation to the progress
elide by the commissioners under the fifth art. of the
Treat, of Ghent, in ascertaining antrestablisbing that
part id the boundary line between the Limited States
aid the British provinces,, which extends "from the
soiree of the River St. Croix" " to the Northwestern
most bead of Connecticut river ;" bow much of the
shore-mentioned line has been actually surveyed ;
whether a map duly certified has Lees returned of any
y made, and whether the commissioners of the
two government., have bad any meetings within a year
put.

Paris papers, which have strived to the 6th iststaat,
tersest the commotion of the capital to have bees
quelled. On Saturday six iadividsali were arrested
sear the charches occupied by the Missionaries; and
on Monday there was a free passage to the Churches
of Petits Peres. Satin Eustache, sad Notre Dame de
Besse Nouvelle, in which order and tranquillity wen
not disturbed. A detachment of troops of the Hoe and
some gend'armes were that day stationed in the Place
des Victoires. On Tuesday the preaching of the Mis-
sionaries took place is the above-named churches, and
so disorder occurred, though no other force than the
Royal gendarmerie was employed ea ecclesiastical duty.
After the Church of Petis Peres, however, was closed,
same hissing and hooting was hoard in the Rue de Mail;
a patrol of gensd'armes immediately repaired thither,l
and a young man, was ted. With respect to
General Denbo°, it is announced, that notwithstand-

Ing the ►igiianee of the Polies, and the number of mi-

Mary employed, neither that officer nor his Aid-de-
Camp, Deioo, have yet been discovered. The latter,
though absent, has been tried, and sentenced to
_suffer
death by the Court Martial held at Thoorm Two
other officers have received a similar sentence ; one
has been condemned to five years' imprisonment ; five
t4tneyears ; and two have been acquitted. Three
medical men, of Parthenay, and twelve of their accom-
plices a►e already in the prisons of Those's, and tea
insargents In those of Samar ; and the arrests con-
tinue. It is now said that on bearing of the insurrec-
tion at Thouars, the ancient Vendean Chiefs assembled
and deliberated whether they should take possession of
Partheney, in the King's name. The inhabitants of two
comments are also represented 'shaving risen in mass
to resist the rebels. But the fact that many Vendeans
also joined General Bertbon for a time, that is to say, as
long es his enterprisb seemed likely to succeed, is not
contradicted, and proves that the sentiments
sow entertained by the people in that part
ef the country towards the Reigning House,
most have experienced a considerable change.
Whit, however, may be the actual condition of the
Department, or the actual state of Bertbon, cannot
be ascertained by the French journals. Private let-
ten from Paris continue to speak of this d 1 as
still in force, and in circumstances calculated to ren-
der him formidable to the Bourbons. Some accounts

Sauntur t and if he can only maintain his ground for
a few days, the existing state of things in France may
be eepec•ed to be materially. affected. As to Nantes,
L'Ami de fa Chart* says, that there have been footed
in various parts of the city printed couplets against
the family of the Bourbons. Many copies of this cri-
sisal performance are in the hands of the authorities,
w►o have ordered the necessary search to be made.
The Police has paid a visit to the printer of the
journal, Al. Maagin, who supposes that his brethren

have received sintiblar visit. la thi night of the
26th the house of N. Fells Conon was surrounded I
at day-break his house was entered. for the purpose of
arresting him ; bat he was not found. A search was
made, the result of which is not knows.—Relative to
the affairs of Russia and the Porte. the oily article
we have is from Nuremberg. which states the impro-
bability of the continuance of peace. In au article
from Vienna mention is again made of that interest-
ing personage, Ali Pacha. who has so often been re-
presented as killed or takes prisoner. and as often
marvelously restored to life and liberty. He is now
stated to have been delivered up alive
.by his own
troops to Cbourchid Nebo. who has loaded him with
chains, and sent a Courier to Constantinople for or-
ders art* his final disposal.
In the Chamber of Peers, the debate on the law
relative to the Press was continued, of which Articles
3 to 14 inclusive were adopted; some Amendments
proposed were rejected. In the Chamber of Depu-
ties the debate on the Public Accounts was continued.

The conversation. is the House of Commons last
night, which arose oa presenting a pedtioa from the
Agriculturists of the county of43affolk, abonaded with
interesting matter. Mr. Coax and Mr. MACDONALD,
severally, delivered speeches, which are deserv-
ing of the utmost attention. Mr. Conn said,—" A
general feeling of the necessity of Reform now per-
vaded the country. As a proof of that, he might
state that the county of Cambridge. a few days since,
had refused to petition at all, because the High Sheriff
would not allow them to petition for Reform. How
was it possible, after witnessing the decision of the
House the other night upon the subject of the uls-
ter, when about Silty Placemeo voted at the command
of the Noble Marquess, for any one to suppose that
that House would attend to the prayers of the People."
The Hoisourable Member concluded by expressing a
hope that the people, from one end of the kingdom
to the other, would petition for Reform. We
trust, the country will listen to the advice •f
tliis honest and disinterested friend of the People.
-Mr. MACDON•LD observed--" There was some-
thing- so like a spell either in the atmosphere, or
within the walls of that house, it had such as effect in
changiag the note of Honourable Members, in making'
them unsay what they had said, not only in private.
but on public hustings, that if one had not some par.
titular knowledge of the individuals, he would be io-
dised to question their personal identity."—This is a
serious sulkiest, and it behoves the country gentlemen to
took attentively to their footsteps. If they ere now, the
country Is lost, aid their owAlette enviable esseditieb
lost for ever. We see, sot only Mr. Goon, bet others
of them, both speak and vote io behalf of retrench.
meat and redaction of taxes, whoa at. their Gassy
Meetings ; but, when they some into the Haase .r
Commons, steadily oppose the reduction of sty tax.—
This was notoriously the ease with the motion relative
to the Salt Tea, the other day. Had all the country
gentlemen who declared in their own counties they.
would support the reduction of the ditties on Salt
(among other reductions) voted against Ministers, me
that night, there would have been a majority for the re-
daction instead of a minority against it. Are those gentle-
men aware of what they are doing? They cannot be so;
or they would not tread so fearlessly, with a gulpis
open before them. Let them tarn their eyes to the
transactions ie Smote and Noarocx. We entreat
them, to weigh well the alarming information on
this subject, contained in our paper of this day.
There is no time to lose. If they follow Ministers in
opposing reduction of taxes, much longer, they will
reach the period when repentance for their conduct
will be unavailing. What is the origin of the out-
rages we allude to. we need not enquire.. Whether
they are the direct result of the distress which',
prevails, or are the effect of intrigues which lead
the perpetrators into them. for political purposes, In
say quarter, the consequences to the Country Gentle-
men will be the same. The consequences must be rain
to them, in one shape or other; and it behoves them
to put a stop to these outrages, forthwith. If the eel-
gin of them be sheer distress, unmixed with politiesl
motives, the Legislature ought to remove that die
tress; and they can remove it only by retrenchment
and reduction of lazes. If the -none' described
are ceased by some designing hand, whose ob-
ject is to create insurrection for the purpose, of
strengthening the laws into despotism, the Country,
Gentlemen cast snatch those deluded instruments of
wicked men out of their hands, by retrenchment and
reduction of taxes; and by any othet means theysesn-
set. Do pie Country Gentlemen mean to have a der
pliant surrounding their footsteps, or their mansions
and domains ravaged by anarchy—do they mean
to be subject to this dreadful dilemma! Then,
let them condone their opposition to the reline-
tion of taxes. They will be sure of arriving at
one end or the other of the dilemma, calamitous as
either will be to them. Let them not pet any trust is
CORICION, to terminate these evils. Coercion will
put them down successively; bet successively. they
will spring up afresh, till the condition of EMILIA,
is as deplorable as that of 1111111 LAND. The Constry
Gentlemen have no time, now, for wavering : They
mast either aid the people. in reducing taxes, or sly.
liver up themselves and their posterity into the jaws
utter and irretrievable destruction.
