SATURDAY. PI %NCH 20, 1819.

Paris Pipers of Monday end Tuesday arrived yes•

from the President of the ChArrsher of Peers relative
to the Election Laws—To Le printed and dietribeteds
According to the !imprints delivered by the Mimi.

The public peace has been disterbed at Mimes
goring merit cloys, which was sttribut►d to the pro.
Position to modify the Law of Elections. On
the 7th, a numerous assemblage was formed in
front of the Theatre, where vociferation§ and me.
pacing luggage was heard. The Authorities ea.
&avowed to disperse the populace ; bet their efforts,
donne a long time, were ineffecteal. The petroles,
out to restore order, were Insulted and assailed
with showers of stones. Various provocations took
place in different quarters of the town, bat no per-
me was seriously wounded. Strict search is making
is discover the authors of the tumult.—Lieutenant.
General na Heroic. commanding the Military Di-
vision, arrived there with 500 military, which entire.
fy re-established order.
Of French news there is very little of Interest to
'peak of. The great questioe of the proposition of
M. UARTHELEVIT, with respect to altering the Elec-
tions Law, engrosses all the conversation of the po-
litical part of the world ; and as to the other ports of
It, you mutt be In France to know what °respires
them. The greater part of the Emensh permanent
residents of Francs are Socking to the beoutifiel and
plentiful banks of the Loire, whams we receive
those esquisite rich plums, which can only be sp.
prozimated by those called mine•seers in England,
and growing le perfection only i■ eve district of
our region. So abundantly do our countrymen re.
Dort to that neighbourhood, that the Tours Jeerers:
advertises the sale and letting of houses and c►ateau
In both the French and English languages.

The lawyers could nor, however, twist our stub-
born iudepeodent Member fur Westusiester to
their purpose in the debate of last sight. O► that
we bad a score of suc► men to advocate the abused
flights of the People in that Senate! Then might w•
listen with advantage and delight, rather than with
grief end disgast, to the long and tiresome debates,
where more time is spent in devising the means of
rescuing the game for Gentlemen's sports in the
country, than in providing for the wants of a
million of starving fellow-creeteres. We cannot
express oar encreased admiration of the talents
as well as integrity of this " second Daxscr.."—
On all occasions has he proved himself to be the
Champion of the oppressed ; on this recent one it
is not generally considered of what importance is the
object contended for. In sums tutors street riot
the soldiers may be called out, and fire upon and
wantonly kill many of the crowd. They mey be
tried, condemned, and perdosed at the pleasure of
the king, by the advice of his Ministers, because the
uproar had a poldirel origin! !--The Needs of the
murdered persons, therefore, are to have no appeal.
This old low of Appeal had therefore a good sound
peening, which eon modern onsoend lawyers pay
no revert re. We more thin fear that while the in-
dependent BARONET has beets studying what might to
be so families' to his opponents, sod which can ilea.
give them the pretence to distin•tlon in their profes-
sion, viz the Lam of she land; Hues very Learn-
ed Gentlemen have b►en Mod) ing how to pia places,
and how to keep in them till they are further pro-
moted.

If we could indulge in a laugh on so RiniOng an
aeration ea the waste of public money, it might he
allowed es on the occasion of the vavt sees spent
or at least charged, for snuff-bnass prevented to Fe-
Ivan Ministers, aad in pallor; the bills of Foreign
Princes at she lees on *he road, when they are view•
ing the manefactoria of the kind. do—One heed ell
pound's a-clay I I The lion. and Worthy Member
for Cork Jidl all ►e could upon the occasion : be was
oppos►d io the same 11111DRer as Su FRANCIS BURDETT
would have been, if the Baronet had not furnished
himself with "dunning proofs of ancient writ." Pre-
cedent, precedent, is the Ministerial rationale for
every extravagance and absurdity; and these any seder
clerk itt any of the Government offices can furnish
them with by dosses wh they are wanted, and
whalsover be the occasion. We hope and trust that
some patriotic Member, conveniently circumstanced
for the greasier), will one day giro our SECRETARY of
STATI as good a rebuff as 111 C ATTORWET.GIVERAL
met with last night, either by proving that such pre-
tedents do not ',list, or if they dn, that it is more ra•
tional and beneficial to break throogh than to preserve
them. They form a rampart of corruption into which
all the sticklers for abuses take post as occasion re-
quires, and fire *lira) upon the People their hand
grenade*, in the shape of snuff-boxes, with every
other species of extravagance. We do mot, to be
sure, hear of the charge for wtsip.cortl, but then the
amount is wisely turned to some other object for fear
of the retort net courteous.

The Duaa's grant of 10,0001. a year for the es.
pence of going to see the aged diseased Monarch his
father, onderweet another annealing last night, and
we must say in praise of his Royal Highness, that
if say Prince could deserve the money, be does ; for
he evinces OMe of the strongest talents for a restos,
i. c. A► keeps to his intention of haring the grant, is
firmly as the claw of a lobster would hold the tip of
Jon. tongue wer► it these. The Ministers
were wiser on this occasion than we ewer knew
them to be; not a word did they say.

It is a common *eying among the Ultra-Royalists
of Paris. in speaking of tbp King :—" II a Aug
L Montagu. a fund perdu," which we way trees-
lit., he has soak. the Monarchy es a Life.
