France.

The following accounts from France, re-
reivrd by the Britannia, Though not as late rs
we have already given, will be read with III
tcrcst as giving events Immediately preced-
ing and leading TO the grand denOuement of
the recent revolutions.
Some very exciting scenes have taken
place i'll the Chamber of Deputies. On the
ID ult. debate took place in relation TO
Swiss affairs and the proposed Intervention,
when Nj. Theirs attacked the Ministry with
great violence, and NJ. Guizot made a very
lame and discreditable defence, with which
no party was satisfied.
The ministry, however, carried its point
by majority of 50. On the 9Th the Cham
berreSumedth the discussion On the paragraph
relating to Algeria. NJ. Guizot, having been
asked what the government intended TO do
with the Emir, replied:
"The promise mad. to him shall be full
filed. We cannot, however, allow him TO
proceed to St. Jean d'Acre, because that for
trrss belongs TO the Porte, which has not yet
recognized our African possessions. Ii
Abd-el Kader wishes TO be conducted to the
East, he shall be conducted to Alexandria.
There, If the Niceroy consents TO receive
him, we will find guarantees and securities,
which st. Jean d'Acre does not offer"
| That paragraph in the address which re-
lates to reform banqnets was however
the subject Of the warmest discussion. 1t
was under debate for three days. On the
third the Minister of the Interior declared
the Reform Dinners Illegal, and his resolu-
ton that no other meetings Of the kind
should take place. NJ. Odllon Barrot ex-
claimed, "You are worse than Polignac
and Pcrronetp' These personalities were
followed by uproar, which the president in
vain attempted to quell. At lenght Barrot
made himself heard above the tumult, and
said, 81 call on you all to hear me and to
weigh wellmy words. Ministers Of the re-
voluticn of July, you violate law respect
ed even by the restoration at the very mo-
ment of its fall. tell you that you do not
respect even what was respected by Polig-
nac.'
\ Tremendous scene cnsued. The Min
isteralists would not hear any more speech
es. The opposition, therefore, quilted their
seats, and the president pronounced the
discussion at All end, amid uproar, coniu-
Sion,a and mutual defiance
Instead Of at once resigning their fiinc-
tons, the opposition deputies had deterInin-
ed on going to the adjourned Reform Dim
ner in costume and impression; and that,
after being refused permission to enter the
banquet hall, they would resign. Their
proceedings caused the Three Per Cents to
fall on Wednesday night TO 74f.
The correspondent Of the London Tele-
graph says:
"Such is the state of public opinion, that
the government is not perfectly satisfied
that order will be maintained in Paris. II
has accordingly caused extraordinary mill
tary precautions to be taken. Numerous
patrols of soldiers and municipal guards
traverse the streets at night, and such ar
rangemerts are made at the different bar
racks as TO enable strong force to be rea-
dy to act with only minutes notice.

TIE RIVER AND HARBoR BIII-The Presi-
dent lately delivered a message to Congress,
giving his reasons for vetOing the River and
Harbor Bill Of the last session. He took up
space enough in his former veto message to
prove himself both stupid and tyrannical what
he prOvesinth message, we cannot say, as 1t
has not yet reached us. But whatever he does
say it had been better to leave unsaid, as il is
impossible for him to give any "rsasons'' for a
veto which was altogether unreasonable un-
constitutional and unsatislactOry.-Y. Wig. 6

bATEsr FROM MExIco.-From the Picayune
we condense and select The following items of
news brought by the Teviot. The dates from
the city Of Mexico, are to the t4th inst. Gen.

There was still a quorum in the Mexican
Congtt ss, but nothing had been done. Gen.
Scott has issued an order in relation to guer-
r~illeros and rancherOs. He orders that no quar-
tot be given to known murderers OF robbers,
whether serving under Mexican commissioners
or not. If such fall accidentally into the hands Of
American troops, they are to be reported u
commanding officers and tried by a summary
Court Martial; their decisions when approved
by the officer calling the Court Martial to be
executed instanter, II is reported that the
Mexican Congress had determined to send
propositions to Washington for Commissioners
to meet at Havana and arrange terms Of peace.

SECRETARY WALKER-The following extract
from the Washington correspondent of the New
Orleans Bee, tells rather a hard story Upon Mr..
Walker; but those who know him best will be
most likely TO believe it.-T Whig, Nh
"Mr. Walker, the Secretary Of the Treasury,
has been caught in a most unpleasant predioa-
ment and one which should remove him from
office L appears that Capt. De Kay, who com
manded the Macedonian, which was despatched
with provlsionsto Ireland, brought to N. York
a return cargo, consisting in. part of some seven
or eight hundred tons Of Iron, consigned TO
BOorman and Johnson. The duty on this i'm
P%ortaIion amounted TO twelve or fourteen thou
sand dollars. On reaching New York, CAPTAIN
De Kay posted to Washington. and obtained an
order on Mr.. Collector Lawrence, to pass the
iron ain question, free Of duty, which he did,
The duties probably went into the pocket Of
the generous Captain, minus perhaps a reasona-
BILE discount upon the regular revenue charges.
HeFei is a bold and high handed act, without
law or justification of any sort by which
the Treasury is openly defrauded of its leQiti-
mate revenue, that q Slavish p~artizan may be
accommodated at the public expense How
long are these sort 0 Fittings to be endured. or is

insulted and i%nfringed without furnishing.

ed and dismissed. He has earned il before by
the practices which he has pursued in reference
to the public monies. uovo
