The Paris Papers of Saturday, and the Etoile of Sunday, embed our office yesterday evening by express. They are almost wholly occupied with the lengthened debates on the ministerial law for septennial elections in France. The law of recruiting, arid that for the reduction of the Renter, were still pending in the Upper Chamber. Prince Polignac, Ambassador to this Court, bad arrived in Paris, and the usual speculation attended his coming—the whispers of the salons immeilistely him a place in the French 111inistry.Ferdinand's merciful amnesty had at length been published. Friday's le,s this precious document at .iengtb : it is, in every sentence, a tiecree of almost sweeping proscription. The inis..q.Ls of famine, to crown the wretchedness cf that unhappy country, were crowding on Spain : a scarcity of corn prevailed, and the vile police were busy in the different towns, arresting alleged monopolists. The Gaulle de Madrid states, that Lopez Banos, Minister at War under the Constitutional system, had committed suicide, by swallowing lauds'  doubt ; and he should always be ready to give it his warmest support, from a conviction that the concession was equally necessary to the tranquillity of Ireland, and to the strength and security of the empire at large. Mr. Plunkett's address was decisive, and met by cheers throughout the llouse. We never heard the Right lion. Gentleman more impressive, or produce greater effect, than he did list night. .After some further discussion, Mr. Canning rose, and pretested against the appeal the Right Hon. Mover of the petition had thought proper to make that night to Ministers. Ile would not (the Right, lion. Secretary said) suffer himself to be urged to any sudden declaration of opinion, by any unwarrantable call of such a description, on the mere presentation of a pass-, ing petition. It was not for hint or his Right Hon. Friends around him, hastily to pronounce an inconsiderate opinion on a question which, after all, was one of law, and on which, if necessary, neither he nor they would act, until they had consulted the Law-Off cers of the Crown. The Right lion. Secretary expressed his feelings cn the injury likely to accrue to the great question of Catholic Emancipation, from the unreflecting violence and indisaetion ef leading individuals among that body in Ireland. It was not for him to say whether they had violated the existing law by their proceedings; but he could not sanction the demand for new enactments, made by the Hon. Mover. Proscriptive laws of this sort should, he thought, only be conceded from imperious neceasity,and with the greatest caution. The discussion on this question lasted several hours, and did not close until nine o'clock, Mr. Brownlow's petition was then laid on the table, and ordered to be printed ; and after some explauatiuu front the Speaker, the lion. Member gave notice of a motion, for this evening, to refer it to the Committee up stairs, appointed to report on the state of the disturbed districts in Ireland. We have ourselves for some months past repeatedly regretted the indiscretions committed by the leading members of the Catholic Association of Ireland, and expressed our opinion that ill-considered violence of this sort was only calculated to raise up a host of powerful enemies, and defitat the best hopes of the Catholic Body. Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Vie], and othet members of that assembly, possess unquestionable talents, and we only regret that their zeal has not been tempered with more judgment and discretion. Such a course would have saved them the dangerous discussion of last night, which in its effects must be most injurious.  The Game Bill, introduced by Mr. Stuart Wortley, was lost, for the present Session, last night, by a majority of 17, 103 voting, on a division, in favour of it, and 120 against. Such is the fate of almost every measure innovating on ancient usage, however mischievous at first. Mr. Stuart Wortley, on the result being known, declared his intention of renewing the proposition the first thing next Session.
