The I)eputation then retired, and the Minis

ororooation took place on the following day.
The Constitutional Of the Goth, contains some
sbrewd commentaries on the Propagation OF the
Chamber. The measure, it says, cannot be con-
sidered as being taken in a passion or without
reflection. Power in its most sudden movements,
has always some motives, though they may De
foolish ones, & the prdrogation may be regarded
as the result of plan previously contrived' TO es'
cape from the deliberate and significant express
ION of parliamentary opinion. Those who Owe IN,
to the views of the ministers and their Politcai
friends suppose that among their calculations,on
is, that they will be able to buy twenty-five OF the
forty majority, before September. some suppose
that modification of the Cabinet will be tried.
In the mean time it is asked what Is to De Done
with the law Porgaisafion d'amorfissmcnt which
must he acted upon in June, and whether the
ministry will undertake to settle by simple Or
dnance what ought to be regulated by law; and
whether the amount of the expense OF the expedl-
tion to Alters will be settled by the Kings simple
warrants. The Constitutional also asks whether
the ministers suppose, in case they should buy
the TWENTY-FIVE votes, that the forty majority who
carried the address constituted the whole strength
of the oppositon in the Chamber? As to the threats
of dissolution, he saysit is exactly what the Dep
utiies desire and opinion calls for.
The King is said to be resolved; he Is known
to have said, within the twentyfour hours proceed
ing the prorogation,- -" Jainse n'isur anonfer
cheral que narnter ei, charette "& Meaning that he
will rather try the chance Of civil war, than ex-
pose himself to the fate of Louis XVI. Notwith-
standin these circumstances the funds have risen.
Preparations for the expedition against Algiers,
continue to be prosecuted with vigor. Thirty
two thousand troops are to be embarked at TOulon
which is to be the effective force of the expcdi-
ton. As fast as their quarters are evacuated,
there places are filled with fresh troops, so that
there will be as many troops left at Toulon, as
upon the expedition. If reinforcements become
necessary, they will thus be already collected,
and at the proper point for immediate embarka-
ton.
A measure was laid before the Chamber of
Peers by the Keeper of the Seals, on the lth Of
March, for the prevention of dueling. 1t seems
we'll calculated to effect the object-as far as
such an object can be effected short Of the high
est penalty of the law.
The Courier Francois of March 10, says: " In
the highest circles of the Faubourg St German,
a general subject of conversation is letter adj
dressed by the Duke of Wellington to the Prince
de Polignac, to inform him that the Court of Lon
don would see with much displeasure the Cabl-
net of the Tuilleries run the hazard of Coups
d'Etat. 1t was feared in the same circles, that
these hints would further increase the irresolu-
ton, of which serious complaints began to be
made; but the energetic measure Of the prOroga
ton of the Chambers, left but short period OF
doubt'
The Tribune of Correctional Police at Bor
deaux has Just condemned the Editor OF the Me-
mortal Bordelais to fifteen months imprisonment
and fine of 200 francs, for libel on the Project
of the Department of the Gironde, in his official
character.
The Baron de St. Clair, whose apprehension
and committal for the publication of Memoirs re-
lative to the assassination of the Duke of Berry,
in which he implicated several persons of distinc-
ton, has heretofore been announced, has been
discharged from the prison of La Force, upon
giving bail to the amount Of $4,000 francs.
Rumors were circulated in the papers, that
couriers had been exchanged between the Courts
Of London and st. Petersburgh, with dispatches
upon the subject of an armed Intervention in the
affairs of France, should crisis arrive demand
ing such course, to save the Bourbons. But it
can hardly be true. Matters have not gone to
that length vet.
The Russian captains and merchants assem-
bled at Constantinople on the a9th Of December,
to hear the translation of the 6rman respecting
the navigation Of the Black Sea. The custom
house officers are hereafter deprived of the power
of interfering with the Russian vessels, which
are to sail unmolested, at the discretion Of the
Russian Embassy, to whom kind of sovereign
power is thus entrusted. The Courier de Smyrne
recommends that the Porte grant the same priv
leges to the ships Of all other nations, as the best
means Of depriving the cOnqueror of his prepon-
derance.
The Constitutional Of the 18th, says: "We

Paris Bankers to advance sum of money to Don
