The AFrcOch papers of Tuesdayire as destitute of news as those of Mlonday, though a kind of panic still continues in the money.mar- ket, wliich would require some news for its explanation. Thc Jour- nal des Dc'ats fioll fbur columns and a half of its paper with a be- vere criticism of tOLe conduct of the present Administration. In a former article, it bhd endeavoured to prove that the present Dijaistry ofIends the genius of France: the present article is intended to esta- blish the position that it is equally aop*sed to the spirdt of Freneh institutions. Botharticles aresaldto iewriten by Mw.de.CsATEAU- BI.A2XB; but if so, why did he not nake these discovaries earlier? The fall of the French fands hasl furnished a new gtiiAt of at- tack against Al. de VILLELEbY theabove.mentioned joarnaL The cause of that fall was, in part, ite repoirt of aniintention to scrnd English troops to Portugal, and tbe apprehenslon that an expedi. tden of such auxiliaries might belimpleasing to the Ioly Alliance. "Such alaims," says this paper, '4 could not have been enterteined "niidet'the Alinistry of-a. man, whose noble and feank character "secitred confidence, and rendercM communication more easy." If Al. de CHATEAUBRIAN! had tlerefore contittued in the Cabinet, Don MIIGUEL would not have rebelled, nor would his Faithful .Majesty have looked to his old Alj for assistance.

The Paris papers of Friday -contain some extracts of let- lers from IMadrid, to which we know uot what credit may be due; but whicl describe a state of things not unlikely to exist in that countrv,.and by no means calculhted to sooth the apprehension of FERDINAND On the departure of his Gallic allies. Some dlisorder, the nature of which is not wvell explained, appears to have occurrdl at Co- Tnma, where 2,000 men are said to be assembled to be enmbarkcd for the Havannah. According to onie statement, these troops have mutiiiieI ; but this report is contradicted in -the same letter wliiclh communicates it, and the following is given as a correct statement of the facts In consequence of a quarrel amnong the soldiers, some were arrested. Their friends and comra(les insisted that they should be set at liberty ; and, being unable to obtain ' that object, deserte d to about the number of loo in one (day. The rest of the troops were ordered into their bar- racks, which they had not left when the courier came <'away." There are also ramours of military insurrec- iions in other places, particularly at Badajos, where a mutiny. is said to have brok-en out on the departure of the French garrihon fot Cadiz. It ought to be observed, tha: these reports, which appear in letters from Madrid of the 8th inst., published by the Journal d.:s Dehat.T antd the Constitiutionel, are not repeatedl in a letter dated the 1ith which we find in the Qoiotidienne. 'Ilhc attention of the Spanish Government is said to be earnestly dlirected to the formation of a Royalist armny, capable of supplying the place of -the Fren-ch force about to be withdrawnl; but 'with an empty Excheqiiei, this ob.ject is inot one of easy ac- complishhment. FERDINAND finids it necessary to raise mo. ney before he can raise Ien ; and it is for the purpose of facilitating the crcation of new corps that urgent applica ; tions have recently been made for contracting a loan with certain houses in -Parix. lVe lhave also received the Etoile, dated Saturday, which, in a letter froin Odessa, repeats the a6coants we have'already given of the nsval success of t.hle Greeks.

SALT Trade.
The Times, 1824-12-31T00:00:00

TO THE EDITOR OF THE ?TIMES-S. Sir,-Will you permit a short reply to a Ltierpool letter in your columns of to-dav ? The price of Cheshire common salt, reulting from a combinati of the prieors, .has for many veasb been b-ept up to 20s. per ton. (the same article, in the war, 1812, when they had not combined, was 3s.)-which price of 209., with canalage to Livepal, shioppnm expenses there, and freightage to the different ports of Seodtand} adzd Ireland, amounts, on the average, to full .iOs per ton. Foreign salt,.the cost being taken at 9s. per ton (in many cases it does not cost half that rate), will, after the 6th proximo,,b^ supplied to the Irish fisheries under 229. per ton, and to the Scotch under 2s., thus s:ving from one third to one half of whet the Cheshire salt proprietors would exact. The agriculturists and other conanmera of s31t in;3ritzin wvill be- nefit in the like ratio; therefore the question resolves itself siimplg into thisAze the fisheries and other important Interests of the empire ts enjoy the proffered beon ofai- trae in salt, or are they to besacrificed, to benefit afew combined monopolists?

Intelligence had becn reccived at Rio of the embarkation for Portugal of the Portuguese troops at Monte Video which were expected to sail on the 6th. The EMrEnoS had given proofs of the sincerity of his attachment to the cause of Brazilian independence, by ordering the prosecu- tion of those 'who had been apprehended on charges of en- deavouring, by seditious publications or otherwise, to ex- cite doubts of his constitutional sentiments; aud by the publication of the annexed decree for aeiministering Che oath to the Constitution, which was to take place in the ca- pital on the 25th of AMarch, and as soon as possible in the other parts of Brazil:- " DECREE.

The Etoile publishes a note which it pretends has been addressed by the Turkish Government to the Ambassador of England, complaining of the interference of British sub. jects on behalf of the Greeks against the Mussulmans. The old question between BUONAPARTE and Lord HAw1(X. BuRy, as to the obligation of the Government to exercise over the press of England a power not sanciioned by Bri- tish law, is here raised in another form, and applied to the persons of Euglishmen. Our Ministers are reproachedby the Rtoike-author of this Turkish note with not suiting the administration of the law8 0f England to thO,. intemeat of foreign Goveritrents. lWe can imagine tbalt it might be 6onveuienf to some European Courts if the Alinisteirsof this country were to obtain or usurp every specles'.of controlling power calculated to repress the enterprising, genius and spirit of the English nation.

tule argument in this cause was cotnpleted to.day, and it was assigneL for sentence next Hilary. As we have already proposed to embody all the -prncipal facts that are connected with tliese pleadings in sdr report of the judgment, it will only be neceswazy for us to notice, that the discuision of this morning principally regarded the affidavit made by AMary. Bristow, the party who in her examination In chief had deposed (belng the only witness produced to thatfactVto havlngiwitnessedanyoftheadula terous acts charged against Air. Ball. This aftdavit was commented upon at great length on the last court-day, aud professed to be a vo, luntary recantation, on the deponent's part,or thewhole testimony she had so falsely given against Air Bail, a solemn declaration that she now retracted that deposition, being moved tbeteto by the suggestions of her own conscience, andlari avermnnen that she had been induced to swear falsely in thS first eiatance by undue means employed by the other party. It has beer most errone- ously stated, in the report of one of the mornming papers ofV Wed- nesday last, that several witnesses, principally domestics- had spoken to an unequivocal sort of intercourse carried on between Air. Ball and the lady whose name is implicated in this caUse, n Miss Penny, at the houne of Alr. Rocher; Great Russell-street, Bloomns- buty. In the first place, the only witness and domestic in this part of the proceedings was the same Mary Bristor, anttin the second, she has totaUy denied upon affidavit, made before a Ma-, gistrate of the city of London, every tittle of her-evidence in re- spect of the conduct she had so coriaptly deposed to-hiavingsee, either at the house of Mr. Itocher or elsewhere. Upon the behalf of that respectable gentlemami, it has been re- presented to us, that the misstatement in question is calculated seriously to injure she character and reputatiort of his house, 'which the witness, Bristow, has upon oath confessed to hive im- pugned withoat the slightest foundation, or a shadow of truth; and we therefore willingly.snake this fact knowni although no parties ourselves to an error which found its way into the report of another journal.

The Paris papers of Sunday, which arrived last night, are chiefly filled with a report of the debate in the Chamber of Depu- ties on the admission of M. B. CoxsTAwr. . General Foy sup- ported his right in a long and eloquent speech; but the chief interest of the debate revolved about the conduct and the speech of 31. DE: LA BoutlDoxwAYE, the leader of the anti-miristerial Ultras The honourable member contended with considerable wsrenth, that: the Chamber could not refuse the rights of citizenship to ii!. CoNs TANT, without shorwing an entire disregard of anterior judi- cial decisions, without affecting the interests and security of grenat classes of his l\ajesty's subjects, and without bringing into doubt and discussion the repose of a whole population. After Al. Goy. STANT had been himself heard, and the reporter of the commiosion. had decined the exercise of his right to address the Chamber,the vote was called for. Threc of the Alinisters were present, but took DO part in the decision. The number of members in the Chamber was 382: of these, 214 voted for the admissibility of the honourable deputy, and i6S against it. The President then, to the grest sati6- faction of the left side, declared Al. B. CONSTAXT, who was wait- ing the dedsion with anxiety, duly elected. No other business of any importance was transacted. The Joarnal des Debuto mentions that Prince POLIGNAC, the French Ambassador at London, is shortly expected at Paris. It is mentioned in the samq paper, that when the Duke of LEVIS presented his report on the Mlinisterial projectfor the conversioss of the rentes, CountMOLLIEW andsCouint AUGUSTE DE TALLEYRAND, two members of the commission, inscribed their names to speak on (sur) the proposed law; the Duke de DouDEAITUVILLE for it; and AL. de SAXNT-ROMAN, M.
