By the different arrivals at this port yesterday, we have received Paris papers of the 2Oth, and London to the 22d of November They con tain much important and interesting natter We have endeayored to give as clear and ex- tended q summary of the intelligence as our lime and limits will permit. Crowded, howev- CT, as the foreign journals are, with details rca- ting to various events of much moment, it is im- possible for us to give, in single paper, so am ple view of their contents as might be desra. ble.
 One of the most important adyices contained inthe English papers is the Dissolution of he. Maistyo of the Duke ot Weilzagt0a, and the for nation ot new one from the leaders Of the Uhig party. 4 list of the new cabinet will be found below. 4 sudden unpopularitY seems to have attached to the Duke of Wellington. A. moug the members returned to the present Par hament, there is powerful party in favor of some system of parliamentary reform. On the I'd of November, after the Kings speech had been read in the House of Commons debate d. rose, Ill which tllc Duke of Wellington boldly and frankly declared himself hostile to any pro Ject of reform whatever, observing that he had duly considered all which had been suggested but that he could not bring himself to q bclcfin thepractcability orutlity ofany them. His speech was received with marks of strong dis appreciation from the friends of reform. A sum mary of this debate will be found below, to which we refer such of our readers as are desiroas of understanding the causes which led to the unex- pected resignation of the British Ministry.
 The friends of parliamentary reform, both in the house and out of it, were thrown by this dec laration into d state of no small exctement.-- The Corporation ofthc City of London had made cnr ko the Sth of November, according to usage on ev- their part, to take this opportunity to show their dislike of the ministers. The streets through which the King was to pass was much thronged for two or three days previous, and hand-bils containing the most violent tirades against the ministry, with cxhortations to violence, were dis persed. On the 7th of November, Mir. Peel wrote to the Lord Mayor of London informing him that the Kings visit would be postponed:
 The Chancellor of the Exehequer had on the 9th of November presented the items of the new civil list, fixing inc sum of G97G,000 year as the amount, and effecting, as he said, saving to the public of El6l, ,000, as compared with ot her years. On the 18th of November the Chancellor ofthe Exchequer moved that the House of Com mons should resolve itself into committee of the whole on the civil list. Sir II. parnell of fered as an amendment to this motion, that a se- lect committee should be appointe d, to take in- to consideration the estimates, statements, &c. of the civil list, which he complained were con- fused and unintcliglble. After considerable de- bate the question was put and carried against the ministry. The votes was, for the original motion % for Sir II. amendment 233-ma- sority g. The announcement of this majority was hailed with loud cheers, and on the read mission of strangers to the gallery, Mr. lIob- house said, sMay be allowed to ask, dc the right honorable gentlemen opposite, after this division, seriously intend to think of farther car Grying on the business of the government? for would wish to bring this to an issue" Cries o move, moye.' Tothis question no answer was returned. The question being put, the commit tee was nominated. They were Sir Henry Par nel Sir Robert Peel, the Chancellor of the Ex ehequer, Lord Althorp, MT. Herries, MT. Wm Wynn, Sir John Newport. Mr. Hume, MT. Lit teton, Mir. Spring Rice, Mir. Frankland Lewis
 This was looked upon as so decided an ex pression of the feelings of the House against in ministry, that 1t led to their resignation the nex morning. One of the ministerial joarnals. O
