proposing that the Project if the Law he adopted in

LONDON:

310IIDAY. JAIRIARY 4, 11119.

We find from the Paris Papers which have teethed
es to the Ist Inst. that tM new French Ministers
have entered on the duties of their respective ellicss.l
They are friends to the Charter end to Consiitetional
Freedom ; and though ender their a expires the Fermat I
People may not acquire any great addition to their
pnlisical rights, yet order and the enjoyment
.of
what they possess will be secured to them. The
Ultras hive once more been defeated. and this is no
small reason for congratulation. The late miser.
ce.sful attempt of the illiberal faction, which has
Neva aiming at power, and striving to plunge the na.
tioa into disorder, ever since they were allowed to
retread the lied they deserted in its danger, is, we
trust, their last effort. It is moires to preach pro-
desire and the necessity of littersl opinions to such
men ; but experience ought to bate taught them that
I it is only by malting a part of the trollop, and not by
I separating themselves from it, and endesvestriag to
confine all power and honour le themselves, that
they can •ver bops to obtain an arreatiency in the
I State. The Fietsch.sre willing to acknowledge the be.
nears t4f those men, whom their Sovereign has ander
he Charter invested with the Peerage; bet they will no
longer brook an order in the State, who consider thews
selves from birth aline entitled to engross all honours
and advantages, civil and military, and the rest of the
!ustion as merely born to toil for

From the details of the disunion in the Clamber i

Dreamy (de PE's) made an eamoccessfel stumps
to limit the greet of the Lead Tea, mod other direct
lases, to three-twelfths, sod to leave the collocates
of the fedi/yet tales on the footle/ of the grant of

Amon those who opposed this proposition, awl
supported oho original Project, was the Ultra-
Royalist M. Visscss, one of the recent assoc.
coedsl candidates for olßst. It is not Impro-
bable that M. Vitst.n.a availed himself of ibis
occasion to show the respect which himself and
his patty were disposed to pay to a mestere
which had received the sansioe of the Sovereign,
contratiled with the menoelog lagging, of the Cos-
missies of Finance, and its recommentlation not to
extend the continuance of one branch of the it
beyond the smooth of Jute nest. On the other baud,
it is deserving of remark, that none of the Members'
of the Commission proposed any amendment on tine
provisiewal project, in conformity to their own re-
' commenderion ; nor did they glee soy support to the
WON limited proposition of M. DUPONT. The cause I
of this forbearance, we presume, is, that their threat
was solely intended to influence the fortuities of the
new Ministry ; sod that peepers Marie; been filly
accomplished, to carry their menace into 'secedes
would Italy tend to embarrass the moo of their own
choice. Political monster's of this sort must be
(owifter to the recollection of those who have paid
any emotion to Ile Parliamentary tasks of meths
country. In the Chamber of Deputies, towards
the cies of Tuesday's Sitting, M. VILLZTZQUI
brought forward a aeries of financial measereed
tending to the amelioration of the Sate of public
orals. Ile also proposed the abolition of the Droll
&Arbesine, which confiscates to the use of the Save-
reign, the effects of foreigners resident in France, 1
dying {assist*, and without haring received lei ten of I
nateralisailoo. The revival of this odious pretties-

opposition in the French Legislative Assemblies.—

fervently to be hoped, that its tendency is not

French Fonds have risen considerably since the
recent Ministerial appointments, which naturally
