down the bad passions of tire French peo-

In this view. the tranquility Of Europe

Bourbons the means. The consequence

LONDON, Feb. 4.-The Paris papers
of Wednesday and Thursday arrived i'm
the course OF yesterday. The Chamber
OF Deputies are now occupied with scpa-
rately discussing the several articles of
the recruiting law, and the various amend
men;s proposed 10 each. The latter
seem TO fare but badly, for most of the
clauses have as vet been carried in their
original stale. The principal execution
TO this relates 10 the fifth article, which
fixed the peace establishment of the de-
matrimonial nj IN a
the number TO be balIoted for each wear
al 10000. The amendment of the com
nittce increased the maximum of tie
peace establishment at 240, 900 men
and this was finally adopted by the Cham
Der.
We regret that the proposition for an
nually voting the army was rejected by a
great majority. The Chamber had pro-
ceeded only as far as the 9Th article on
Wednesday. II appears that the speech
of Marshal Gouvion ST. Cyr produced
such an impression on his auditors, that
the decorum of the, Assembly was violated
by strangers, who loudly cheered several
parts of if. This was advertcd to on the
following day by NJ Poyfere de Cere.

From the French Frontier, jan. 2O.-On
account of the debates respecting the law
for recruiting the army, and the probabi-
lily of IFS passing, people begin again 10
look publicly at the efforts that are 10 be
made TO reduce the Island of ST. Domin-
go uader the dominion Of France which,
il is said, have been hhherto deferred on
account OF the unlavorable situation in
which France was placed. II is suppos-
ed that as soon as the army is complete,
volunteers will be invited for this expedi.
ton, and particularly that the legion Of
Prince Hohenoe will be employed III it.
1t is much more probable that the OBJ
jet of these military preparations is to
relieve France of the allied troops, in
case they do not voluntarily Withdraw,
than 10 attempt The recovery Of 81. Do

FRANKroRT, Jan. 22-The fate of
Count Las Casas is at length decided
Since ms arrival III our city, he has been
constantly guarded by a Prussian Com
missioner; he is now going 10 be placed
