The Journal det Debats of Wednesday contains another article, and an angry one, upon the dismissal of Al. D R CHATEAUBRIAND. MN. DE VILLELE is threatened with a powerful re-action, arising from the influence and reputa- tion of the ex-MIfinister. The Quotidienne has suspended its lamentations. The Constitutionnel diverts itself at the expense of botb parties; not " seeing very clearly what " Liberty can lose by thedisgrace of CHATEAUBDRIAND, or "vhat she ean gain by the continuance of his rival in "office." The bill for extend;ng the duration of the Chamber of Deputies to seven years instead of five, and renewing it inte- grally instead of by fifths, has passed that Chamber by a majority of 292 to 87 votes. As the Peers have already given it their assent, it only now awaits the Royal sanction to become a law. This measure is stated in the Jouirnal des Debati to be the concoction of M4. DE CHATEAUBRIAND, the ex-Minister of Foreign Afihirs, who intended to have defended it from the Tribune, on the day previous to his dlismissal, and to have proposed some amendments which would have rendered it less objectionable. His colleague, CORDIERE, who had, perhaps, in his pocket at the time the Royal ordinance for his disgraee,could not subject either the Ministry or their victim to the humiliation of his per- forming this last service.

Last evening a.comic operetta, called Militardj Tactics, was pres. duce0 at this trhatrc. There is nothing new in it but the name,and nothing to disting ish itfroms the piece called Match-makiing, which appeared at the Haymarket last =r, excepting a few songs to old tuaes : among otbers " Ca bra, ' and " Le petit Tamnbour." For a merepcie des boulevards, and it is nothing more, Itis sufficiently amusing. WVrench's acting as FiP:esseY the valet, was clever and bustling. Mlr. hartley, the Uncle, Miss Povey, the Niece, Mr. Power, the Colonzel, and Mr. Pearman, the Captaitn, did all that was nlloited to them as wel as was possible. The burletta of Tom Thumb folowed, Now that the political allusions in this glorious burlesque have lost their force, and that the greater part of the wit has been cut out by the gentleman who last mutilated it into a bur- letta, notbing but very good acting can make it endarable. Unhappily there was nobody in it who could act, with the excep- tion oAlss Povey (Funcamunco) and Mfr. Tayleure (Lord Grizzl.) Each of them executed thesongs very well indeed,and the costume asd acting of. the latter were in the true spirit of whimsical absurdity. If Ir. W. Chapman can play wons than he did in Fi- garo oh Saturday, it was in ring Arthur las night. It was realy too bad to waste a word on. The reason for bringing out Tom77 Tumb was, we suppose, to give an opportunity of intr6ducing a child, call- ed 17aster Burke (a phenomenon from Dublin !), who was made to play " Robin Adair," and a piece by Haydn, on the fiddle. The child did this very well for hisage (which is said to be five,and cannot be more than seven), but not well enough to be listened to by people who are supposed to have arrived at years of discretion. The poor littde thing afterwards squeaked through the part of Tomn Thumb. It was a very cruel piece of business altogether. The Gipsies, we knowf, are in the habit of kidnapping children, and stripping off the infants' clothes; they dress them up in such rags, and teach them such tricks as they think are best calculated to excite the compassion and extort thc pence, of the public Now, this poor little child seemns to he the victim of a similar enormity committed by some per- sons unknown to Us. The Gipsies are transnorted for their offence; and in the hope that the attention of the police may be directed to the nersons who hare maltreared the poor l.ttleBurke and that they mas be brought to the punishment they deserve, we irbear fsr the present to say any thing more about it. .&YrGJist OP&4JIOUSPA

There IIow seems scarcely any reason to deniy that Sir F.

It is not, however, to put our- .s-lves right with the public-amiong the rnore respectable portion of whicil we probably wtve n ver thou,ght wrong- that we resume the subject ; but to comment a little on thie terms, said, in an article of the 'f onifeer. to be imlposei by the High Commissiovi,r on the inj ureil Greeks. " It was agreed," says that article, unticr the head of a letter froin Zante, "' that the Greeks should restrict their proclaina- tioon, confining themselves to seisitsg, witilhout being ' allowe(d to destroy or confivcate, the vessels laden witlh troops, or amlmtunitivii anid previsions, for the Turks; ' the captors being bound to pay the captains the freig,hts agreed uponi with the Ottonran Govertiment, or any of its agents."

.UeJore A;fr. Baran niRAIIAm (ad a S.pa(ia .i,,-- a ins was an sncietment against the de'enklants for a nuisance. The object of the indictment was to determnine whether the Corwora tion of the City of l,ondon had, in virtue of its Con,erva.cyv of the river Thames. a right to clear a r7ater-wav from the Tfiatnes to the IMed way through a creek called Gauntlet Crcele, which sopa- rat'e the Isle of (rain fromii the main land, in the counity of Kent. The alleged nui,,ance was in wideninganid deepening thecrcek inquestion at a spotcalled Graini Bridge, by the removal ofa considlerable quantit ' (if soil, and thereby destroying a land cornmunication betwevi, the islantl and the adiacent country. The indictment hal been origitall y fouind in *he county ot lient; but, with a view to a disinterested and impartial ttial, it was Rgreed that the question in- tended to be ratised shoald be determined by a jury of this countr. rn oreier that tihe jury mighit understand thje question, most of theic, hald Iail a view of the Ilcas in quto. The trial of the case comminiencedI yesterday afternoon. A reat body of eviden-ce was adducedl on both siies, but tthouglh the question involved was one of tonsiderable imtportance, Yet it would be quite unnecessary to enter into a minute detuil of the evidence given by each witness. Alr. Baron GRAHAM sumtmed up the case to the jury, aid dwelt upon the circun3stance tltat, according to the charter, the city of London bad o3nly a right of conservancy as far as the Mouds of the creek in question, and that only withl respect to the preservation of the fishery of the Thames; anti aLso to the extraordinary fact that the Corporation had never, ott any foriiier occasion, at. tempted to exercisc ati authority to thc extent now insisted upon. His Lordship also observed, that there was by no means tny satisfactory proof, within living mneinory, tuat the spot in question was even a navigable water-way; ant' if not, then, coupled with the other circumstances, the defenatants had no right to do the act charged against them as a nuisance.
