and 1t will he seen, that of the city, fifteen
elections, fourteen were members of the
| last Chamber; some of whom, d'Argen
son, Dutougerais, and others, belong TO
the uitra-royalIsts party. The great ma
| lority, perhaps tlree-fourths of the new
| Chamber, will probably consist of mem
| bers OF the late Chamber
An interesting event occurred on the
| beach, while the Treaty with the Dew of
AiSlers was pending. MIR. Aitcheson, a
| marine artillery officer, happenedto meet
a frenchman, who had been in capfivitv
tor l5ycars, asked him if he would like To-
| return to Francein the Fren h ship which
lay IN the bay. He Indignantly replied
that he felt ashamed OF his country, but
would go any where with the broue Eng
lish, who had so kindly liberated him.
Some further particulars respecting the
disturbances ii Monmouthshire have
reached us. The Quarter Sessions met
at the Town Hall in Usk, on Monday
sennlght. and the Magistrates agreed to
represent to the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer, the reduced state of the country by
taxes and rates, and the impossiblity Of
| paying those now becoming dine. thew
resolved, respectfully, but earnestly. to
request some remission of taxation.--
These measures were not, however, una
nlmously agreed to, though carried by a
large majority. Lord Grenville Somerset
dlssented from them.
| Whether these proceedings had any in
ffuence on the lower classes, we know
not, but IN day or two afterwards the
men III theron works stopped WORKING
| on account of wages Business having
fallen otfvery much, the masters, as am
act Ofcharity, proposed to share the re-
naming emplOyments among the men
| generally, by allowing each a shilling
per day, Gn hopes the times would i'm
proye,) rather than throw some wholly
destitute. This they rejected, cOnceving,
| perhaps, they could get nearly as much
from the parish for doing nothing, if posi-
lively discharged, and that such small
pay was only calculated TO spare the par
isll funds. Aboutseven thousand of them
assembled; but no great outrages were
committed, further than stopping the
furnaces and otherworks at AIerthyr-Tyd
val, &c: themen behaved with conside
rable order-but, however grievous their
situation may be, theT must know that
the course they have taken, is not only
unlawful, but unlikely to afford them re-
lief. The magistrates have acted with
great decision and firmness the arrange
ment proposed, IS the best that could be
made ii IS better than any which could
be afforded to the wOrkmen in Stafford
shire; and the men must submit, other
wise force will cOnstrain them. If i'm DAYS
of prosperity Saving Banks had existed
among these men, they would not now
have been III such danger of distress
Under such circumstances OfdifiicultV. il
IS most wicked in some of the London
Journals To- excite these men TO still fur
Their mischief, by representing them as
oppressed BY wealthy Masters, who low
er their wages without necessity, to sum
on which nature cannot be supp0ried.--
The sum is undoubtedly small. bnt IS
given IN cheap country; il il a. much

in part as The distribution of charity.
