SATIJILDIY. MAY 22, 1819.

In the Parliamentsry proceedings of last night,
nothing particularly occurred to (wiry the rotor
ansiety of the British Patriot. In the Lucas we look
in vain for that spirit which us•d In animste the,
breasts of the friends to Iternren. The l'e►ry one linden
seem impregnated with a phobcia against alorration or
change of any kincl,huwe ttttt knots tetlg►dly bed soote
of its institutions are found to be. The l'ap►rs, con.
morally, only record long speeches about this or '''st
usy of disposing of the Bank's paying in cash. They
cannot, therefore, be called debates. It would halm
seemed impossihle, from the nature of things, that
discussion of so long continuasco on a gri.eance of
so emulous an amoont could have taken place,
without retorting to a reprobation of the csust

keep clear of that. Let no Noble Lord affo.d an
opportunity for a collision of senticoont. As Ju.l.lt.'s
' says, " hard bodies sparkle in collision." A spook
may kindles name in such combustible stuff as men's
minds aro composed of at present, std therefore no
(bat sod steel opposition. Esen Lord LAUDERDALE
exerts a noticeable caution in these particulars.

The Bank and the Government at this moment re-
semble two persons ts ho have a falling oat, a sort of
cross-action between them. Till the suit is derided
the bye-slanders moot speak oat fully. The Pub-
lie, however, who ere the puffy alone which has to
complain, will not be beard in Gout, though it must
pay the damage.
To conclude, however, on this topic, it is quite
plain that things are taking such a tern, flout if the
distressed People look fur opponents to Ministers
and their ruinous system io Parliament ; their eyes

the Ministers, although it is multiplying daily. If
this drain from the body of the empire is not missed,
because it leaves its hulk apparently the same, )et is

We received this morning the Paris Papers of
Tuesday sod Wedge'slay lust. In the Chamber of
Deputies on Monday, the Report from the Commis-
sion of Petitions concerning Ike Esiles, was discussed.
The utmost interest appears to hive been netted by
the orcssion. From 11 o'clock, all the places sects-
sitar to the Public were occupied; end a multitude,
of distinguished persons crowded the corridors of the
hall. %Viten M. tic Cotton, the Reporter, after having

on him. The Commission was edema to the corgi.

from the principal cities and towns of France. "The
right of petition," said the Reporter, " is consecrated
by the Charter, but resist it to be without limit

The Commisalon, for these reasons, proposed that
the Chamber should pans oo to the Order of the Day.
M. CAL/MAI/TIN, M. I,A►AY[TT►, and M. BM'
Coomoor, arose to speak. An attempt was made
to prevent them, by rallimr for the Order of the thy.

Pi to have been formed on, one model, and to bare
emanet►d from the same source. They prayed not
only for the secal of the persons temporarily banish-
ed by the I,lw of 1?-th January, MG, hut an i I-
discriminate rival of every exile, even the regicides
and the family of BONAPARTE. The Chamber knew
with what generosity the Royal will was repressed.
Bet when the Chambers bud derided, and their sled.
►ion had received the Royal sanction, there was no one
ignorant that the fate of the regicides was for ever
filled. It is essential to the Royal dignity, which is
also the digssity of France, that this solemn lodg-
ment should not be revoked, that the King should
never restore a country to the aysaysins of his wile-
tesbor. It is evident to all good Frenchmen that
there is no welfare, no liberty for France without
the Roonsoss—that the Charter is the foundation of
the Throne, and that if it is necessary to the legiti.
mate dynasty, that dynasty is mot the less siecessary
to the Charier. _

Several Deputies in vain attempted to obtain a
hearing in favour of the exiles ; she lirristerisl-
isto and Ultra-Royalists together premiumd any
farther discussion, and the Chamber passed on In the
Order of the Day. The debate on the Projet re-
specting the accounts during the last four year. was
then resumed, and continued throughout Tuesday.
Some 'toroth toss been generated by it, but the sub-
ject is too little interesting in Etiglaed to warrant us
et:copying Der colonies with it at any length.
M. De ConcuArs, Deputy from the Rhone, not
having been able to deliver his sentiments in the
Chamber, has published them. They contain some
facts well worthy of perusal.
We shall, on Monday, give copies, retracts from
them, which we are prevented from doing at present.

had a consoliation on this subject, some of whom

serious a subject, we think that the •omits will be
