LONPON:
TIFIrESDAI EVENING, risiumiT 8, 1821.

We have this morning received Paris papers of the sth
init. The only article of novelty contained in thew re-
lates to the alarming and destructive explosions that
have reociitly Liken place. An Ordinance has been pub-
lished requiring the dealers ih powder to attend to cer-
t.:in' regulations and restrictions in regard to their selling
it. unJ: • :iglu of heasy penalties iu case of lion-com-
AVGSBCRG, JAN. 2s.—Several promotions hare again
bean made iu the Austrian Army. Many of the most
diistingoisbed regiments have been placed under the coos.
untnd of fresh Cohmets.—Lord Stewart is amongst the
nutuhrr of persons on their way to Laybach.
Intelligence from Munich annout:ces that the Council
of Ministers have frequent meetings.
the accounts from Madrid are not new. The adhe-
tents of the old system are still labonring,thongli hither-
to ii.etfcctually, to produce discontent and divisuus.

We give tbis evening, wording to our promise yes-
ter L. a full detail of the principal passages of the
poue:ful speech of Mr. lleortnAll fill the motion of
the Marquis of l'Avisi ore. It will he read we doubt
tot with peculiar interest. The answtrs which the
Thmotir able and Learned Member gave to the I
charges of Lord l'AsTi.crtrAcri were rencicsiee and
trintriphatit ; and the impression produced in all
within the {louse by his strong and explicit asseveration,
rt,pcctiog her 'Majesty's innocence, came with all that
forte awl depth of feeling which the weight of
truth amid ps mina% romiction could alone inspire.
That this impression failed of the effect that might,
I. such as are ignorant of the cotitpositiou of a
House of rtinnotts, he expected to follow, is matter
ralhtr of concerti, than of surprise.

Friona a paragraph in one of our columns to day, it
st apprar, that in consequence of the groas reflections
%%lank it has been the modern Hiey to cast upon the
people, ~tae of the Reverend Menoliers of the Presbytery
Eolinburgh has given notice of his intention, to submit
at twat noreting a lion for an inquiry into the extraordi-
nary degree of ionmorality and irreligion alledged to exist
within the bounds of the Presbytery, fur the purpose
that, if sue* did exist, some ecclesiastical remedies might
he applied fur their correction. We rejoice that
the people of tither Scotland or England can at
•lettrir Ileitt—aatit -a Met*, maanK men of a clerical*
or•ler, ati u Amid ropier an investigation of the grounds
of those inolistsrionitiate and exeotionoutlitaiing cliorges,
which :Are brought against a large proportion of the
nation. lailividuals, when caitinoniated, have an esta-
lAli,lotsi resource to which they can apply for redress,
hoot the people at large have none. They may Iw, and
actually are, libelled grossly with impunity, in the
for/ edrfo cases, as they are called, with which the
pages of the Ga.:Tile abound ; and what is worse,
these libels are assumed as eviilenee of their guilt,
anal proceedings in Parliament ensue against them
by some restriction on the press, or on their public
noertings, as if they had been formally convicted in
a l'otort of Law. We are elan% we say, to learn
that th a rharge has la •eoi taken up, and that an
enquiry will he set on foot respecting its grounds,
su far at least as they refer tootle particular district. If
the enquiry be made nith candour, we have little doubt
the people will be acquitted. It is remarkable that when
this very Presbytery of FAinlootrglo sent their loyal address
to the Throne, they lamented, among others, the pro-
ress of irreligion and lolesiolletny ; but when the indivi-
dal members of the Presbytery were pressed upon the
puint they disclaimed the charge as applicable to their
respective parishes, to the place of which they had per-
sonal knowledge, but referred it to some other with
*Lich they had no acquaintance except from report :
