LONDON, MARCH 22.
LONDON, MARCH 22. THE French Papers of F. iday and Saturday have been JL received. In the Chamber of Deputies, on Friday, the President of the Council, together with many others of the new Administration, entered at length into an exposi- tion of the system on which they were resolved in future to act. They are determined to persevere in a course of energy and decision, and to preserve peace-so long as there remains the slightest possibility of their being enabled to do so. The doctr'ne of intervention is to be upheld, and all popular tu- mults are to be repressed with promptitude and severity. By the Express which arrived this morning we learn that the determinations of the new Government had already had the effect of overawing the disaffected. Fresh troops were continually arriving in the capital and its neighbourhood, on the plea that Louis Phillippe would review them on Sunday next, when the Parisians would see the degree of discipline to which the young army had attained." The naval expedition to the Scheldt, is with the perfect concurrence of the French Government and the rest of our Allies. There is a story which is running through the town, that an "illustrious Duke." so described that no one can mis- understand him for the Duke of Gloucester, opposes the Reform Bill because he has not been made Commander-in- Chief.
. HOUSE OF LORDS.
HOUSE OF LORDS. MONDAY, March 21.—Several bundles of petitions were presented in further support of the Ministerial plan of Reform. Some having been presented from Ireland, Lord Farnham ex- pressed bis astonishment that the third Bill—namely, that for Ireland, had not yet been presented and inquired when it was likely to be submitted to Parliament. Earl Grey replied, that though it was not very orderly thus to notice the proceedings of the other House, he could state that the Bill was ready to be produced, and that he doubted not it would be presented the first opportunity. The Lord Chancellor on presenting a number of petitions in favour of Reform, many of them from corporate bodies, who gladly sacrificed their own interests for the good of the commu- nity, Could not," he said, help remarking the generosity and disinterestedness which had been displayed on this momentous occasion by persons in comparatively humble situations in life. When they awarded due honour and praise to the Noble Lords in that House, and the Hon. Members in the other, who really sa- crificed their own interests and political influence.to the public good, it was impossible to refrain from awarding a similar meed of praise to those of an humbler—he would not say a lower—class, who had evinced equal disinterestedness." Alluding to the at- tempts to sow divisions between the middle and lower classes by the enemies of Reform—attempts which the good sense of the people has indignantly repelled—he observed they were told. you will have no votes by this plan, for it is founded on pro- perty from beginning to end. The people shewed that they were not to be so deluded, and replied, this is the first time that men of your kidney thought of the people. His Lordship with great facility observed, that these tactics were borrowed from a well-known personage, Jadas Iscariot—"And Judas, whose name was Iscariot, answered and said, why are not these things sold for so much money, to be given to the poor?'" Upon which a sacred historian remarks with indignation in his simple but powerful language—' Not that Judas Iscariot cared anything for the poor, but that he was a thief—The Duke of Wellington rose to order and observed that it was irregular to refer to arguments that had been used in the other House.—The Lord Chancellor denied he was irregular. He only said that a great moral lesson might be drawn from the historical fact. The whole of the peti- tions were laid on the table.—Adj. TUESDAY, March 22.—On presenting some petitions for Re- form, the Duke of Richmond asked Lord Rolle whether he did not feel convinced that the voice of the country was unanimously in favour of it.-Lord Rolle did not feel himself called upon to an- swer that question, but be himself was against it. -The Marquess of Salisbury admitted there was a strong feeling in the country in favour of Reform.— The Marquess of Clanricarde bore testimony to the unanimity that prevailed all over the country in favour of the question.—The Lord Chancellor presented upwards of one hundred petitions from different parts of the country, in favour of the measure proposed by his Majesty's Ministers for Reform. The Noble Lord postponed the recommittal of the Bankruptcy Bill until Monday, the 18th of April. In doing so the Noble Lord took occasion to say, that when he introduced his measures to the notice of their Lordships, he had stated the savings he ex- pected to accrue from these measures but being fearful he might not have stated them accurately, he had considered them over again, and in the result he had found the benefit which he had said would accrue from the measures, had not been over stated. The whole saving to the country would amount to 67,500Z. Lord Wynford suspected the calculations of his Learned Friend to be founded on fallacy. He did not mean to object to the mea- sure on the ground of increased expense, but the object was to saddle the whole country with the whole expense which ought to be borne bv the commercial classes of London. The Lord Chancellor intended that there would be no transfer of the burden on the public as the Noble and Lord seemed to suppose. After some further conversation, papers were ordered respect- ing the present expense of various departments of the Court.- Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY, March 21.Sir Robert Inglis drew the attention of the House to the daily attack that had been made by the Times newspaper, on the condnct of those who opposed the Reform measures of Ministers, which he said were calculated to degrade the House, and hold it up to the odium of the people. The Hon. Bart. then read the following extract from the Times' leading article of the 14th of March, the reading of which wasreceived by considerable cheering:- When, night after night, borough nominees rise to infest the proceed- ings of the House of Commons with arguments to justify their own in- trusion into it, and their continuance there, thus impudently maintaining what the lawyers call an adverse possession,'in spite of judgment against them, we really feel inclined to ask why the rightful owners of the House should be longer insulted by the presence of such unwelcome inmates ? It is beyond question a, piece of the broadest and coolest effrontory in the world, for these hired lacqueys of public delinquents to stand up as advo- cates of the disgraceful service they have embarked in. Of two conditions, these persons must be in one or other: they must either have bought the close borough seat which they fill, or they have sold themselves bodily to him who has the disposal of it. It is impossible to get into Parliarnentfor a close. borough but on either of the above conditions. Yet, is there a tingle intlividual amongst them who has bad the truth or honesty to tell the House of Commons,' I have paid 50001. for this seat, the continuance «f which I am now defending or, I have sold myself to the patron of the borough,' for his permission to be one of his members V." The Hon. Member concluded by moving that the paragraph read be considered by the House as a false and scandalous libel upon the House, tending to deter members thereof from the dis- charge of their duties therein, and tending to alienate from the House the respect and confidence of their fellow subjects. Sir R. Gresley seconded the motion, which was also sup- ported by Mr. Perceval aud Sir C. Forbes.-Sir F. Burdett de-* fended the language of the paragraph from the known corruption of the Bore ugh System, which was one of the greatest breaches of the House. The House was certainly not the proper forum to r renounce a decision on the condnct that had been complained of. t was against reason to suppose that the House was both the ac- cuser ana Judge.—Lord Allhorpe admitted that the public press had used language on the present question that could not be jus- tified— but it had been used by advocates on both sides of the question. (Cheers.) Ministers were charged with endeavouring to produce revolution.—After a good deal of angry discussion, the previous question," moved by Lord Althorp, was carried, and thus a decision on the original motion evaded. REFORM.—Lord John Russell then moved the second reading of the Reform Bill. Sir R. Vyvian moved as an amendment, that the Bill be read that day six months. He was not in the slightest degree ad- verse to a measure which would give representatives to the large towns which were at present unrepresented but it was one thing to disfranchise all the boroughs, and another to give representa- tives to populous towns.—Mr. Cartwright seconded the motion. Mr. Shiel, in his maiden speech, strongly supported the Bill; and called on the House to shew their wisdom by ^imely conces- sion, not to procrastinate, and thus occasion feelings and combi- nations similar to those which had forced the conceding of the. Catholic claims. After speeches of great length, but which possessed no novelty, from Mr. Pendarvis, Mr. Grant, Mr. Slaney, and the Solieitor- General, in support, and from Lord Valletort, Mr. Bankes, and Sir E. Sugden, against the measure, the question was adjourned till Tuesday.—Adj. • TUESDAY, March 22.—REFORM.—Many more petitions in favour of the Ministerial plan of Reform were presented. Admiral Sotheron, on the presentotion of a petition, said he was instructed to support it but he regretted to be obliged to state that he could not comply with such request; on the contrary (though he had intended to vote for the Bill), after a speech-that be had heard on Monday pight, he could not now conscientiously give the Bill his support. This declaration was received with immense cheering. Afterwards, on Lord John Russell moving the order of the day, many Members desired its postponement for a short time, toallsw the presentation of petitions against, as well as for, the Bill; and the demands for the delay, and the opposition to it, occasioned a good deal of confusion.—Mr. Calcraft eventually suceeeded in allaying the storm, by expressing a hope that the request would be complied with? for though he intended to vot^ in favour of the second reading, he should be sorry ifample opportunity were not given for the presentation of petitions on both sides of the question. The declaration that Mr. Calcraft intended to support the Bill was hailed with as loud cheering by the Ministerial side as bad distinguished Admiral Sotheron's declaration against it. After an immense number of petitions had been presented, the adjourned debate was resumed, and animated sparring took place between various members.—Lord Mahon, Sir J. Shelly, Mr. OrmsbyCore, Mr. Ward, Sir R. Bateson, Lord Castlereagh, Mr. Shaw and Sir James Scarlet, opposed the measure, and Mr. Cavendish, Mr. Wyse, Lord Mountcharles, and the Attorney Ge- neral supported it. After an admirable reply by Lord J. Russell to the various objections, the House, which was then immensely attended, and presented the most extraordinary appearance from its crowded state, became clamorous for a division. Strangers eagerly enough withdrew. The division took place, and the num- bers were: ,h f or the Bill 302 I Against it 391 j Majority. J } That was considered as having resulted from Mr. Calcraft's ad- hesion but for that fact there would have been equal numbers and the Speaker would have had to give a casting vote. The re- sult was immensely cheered, which was extended to Lord J. Russell as he passed from the House. The Bill was read a se- eond time, and ordered to be referred to a Committee on the 14 of April, and the House adjourned at four o'clock.—Adj.

tlJoøtøtrtpt. LONDON, WEDNESDAY) MARCH 23. LAST night the momentous question of Parliamentary Reform, which has engaged the whole interest, mind, and soul of the nation since the firstinst., when it was introduced, was decided in the affirmative in the largest House which was ever witnessed. The majority was only one in favour of the Bill; but, considering the immense exertions made to defeat it by those on whose political existence it passes an eternal doom, even this majority is highly satisfactory. The numbers were— or the Bill 302 Againstit. 301 Majority —1 If Ministers should now think itadvisable to dissolve Par- liament immediately, their present numbers, along with the votes of their friends who will then come in for the Treasury boroughs, will give them a triumphant majority. They have announced, through Lord John Russell, that, though they will not resist trifling amendments in the details of the Bill, when in Committee, they will either not accept of any essen- tial change, or will not rest satisfied till its original provisions are restored. The inference, of course, is infallible, that the House will be immediately dissolved, if any material altera- tion should be carried in the Committee. The report of the King-being opposed to a dissolution is industriously spread, but is not worthy of any credit. The King will support the Ministers, and his and their Bill. There was great cheering at the announcement of the decision, both in the lobby and in the passages of the House.—Times. Let the People look to the division of last night. Let them analyze the factious minority, and they will find that 160 of the squad is made up of Members for Treasury boroughs, and those who would be thrown out by the Reform Bill. Taking this 160 (which the people have it in their power to subtract) from the whole 301, will reduce the minority to 141 -and adding it to the majority of 302, will make a total of 462—leaving a triumphant majority in favour of Reform of 321! The relative numbers will then st nd as follows:— In favour of Reform 462 Agaistit,. 141 Majority in its favour.. 321 Such being the interested character of the minority, it has but to be analysed, to be dispised—laughed at-and. baffled. In a. word, the people have the question of Reform completely in their own hands. If they be firm, it is carried; if otherwise, it is lost. Mr. Calcraft deserves the thanks of of the country for his timely and generous support of the measure.—-Lord J. Russell was received, when he left the House in an enthusiastic manner. Hundreds surrounded him, hundreds rushed forward to grasp his hand, as they would that of sortie superior being whose worth they would emulate, "whose talents they would vainly equal. It must have been a proud moment forascion of the house of Russell. -Sun. Some parts of Ireland are threatened with absolute famine, unless the hand of British Charity interpose. A Meeting is to be held on Thursday at the Mansion House on the subject. The Lord Chancellor's second Levee on Saturday was as numerously attended as his first, and by equally distinguished personages.—The late collision between his Lordship and the Red-coats at the Horse Guards is aptly called a game at Rouge et Noir, in which, although Rouge had the best chance, Noir won the stakes. The Lord Mayor, notwithstanding his untoward" inau- guration day, has become so popular among the citizens by his magnificent turtle feasts, that it is now acknowledged he is a Key that can open all hearts.

IT is respectfully suggested to the Inhabitants of jL Swansea and its Neighbourhood, that an Infant School, on the plan of that established at Walthamstow, by the Rev. Wm. Wilson, would be highly beneficial to the health and morals of the Poor in Swansea. Frequeht accidents prove the danger of Young Children being suffered to loiter and play in the streets and every intelligent observer will admit, that the idleness and bad habits thus engen- dered in their infant minds, form a bad preparation for their future conduct in life. The Infant School affords a safe and pleasant shelter to them,-relieves their parents from much anxiety on their account during their infancy,—enables their mothers to go out to work,-—and prepares the children to benefit more fully from the schools already established, to which, at seven years old they may probably be sent; or, should they not be enabled to obtain further instruction, it fits them, by orderly habits, to be useful little helpers to their parents in a variety of ways- N eedle- work, knitting, reading, and casting accounts, and above all, the knowledge out of their Bible of their duty to God and Man. If it be feared they may be tOo much confined, the answer is the Infants' Scliool-room should be large and airy, with an ad- joining Play-ground, into which the children should bo sent fre- quently for exercise and wherever the schools have been estab- lished, the children have been greatly benefitted and much de- lighted by attendance at them, particularly in London and Bristol. Therefore, in the name of our blessed Lord and Sa- viour Jesus Christ, who has said, "Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of Hea- ven," and It is not the will of your Heavenly Father that one of these little ones should perish,'1—in His name, the Inhabitants Of Swansea, of all denominations of Christians, are earnestly re- quested to subscribe to the Infant School proposed to be estab- lished under the kind patronage of Her Grace the Duchess of Beaufort. His Grace the Duke of Beaufort has handsomely presented a piece of ground for the purpose, in Orchard Field. It is intended to receive the children of all denominations of Christians. Donations towards the Building, and Subscriptions for the annual support of the School to be established, will be thankfully received at the Treasurers' to the School, Messrs. Eaton, Knight and Stroud, and at the other Banks in Swansea. Mr. Wilderspin, the Inventor of the System of Teaching at Infant Schools is expected to deliver, in a short time, at the Town-Hall, Swansea. March 19, 1831. County Meeting.

EDW. H. ADAMS, High Sheriff. To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parlia- ment assembled. THE HUMBLE PETITION of the GRAND JURY of the County of CARMARTHEN, at their Spring Assizes, 1831, assembled, Sheiveth, That your Petitioners having read with unfeigned satisfaction the report of the measures for Reforming the Representation of Great Britain in your Honourable House, recently introduced with the sanction of his Majesty's Ministers, beg to express their unqualified approbation of the nature of the Reform, and their conviction that without it neither the prosperity and honour of this country will be effectually advaiiifced, nor justice to its sub- jects be fully rendered. That your Petitioners implore your Honourable House to re. lieve the grievous burthens of the country, by the total Repeal of the Assessed Taxes, the duty on Malt, and the adoption of a pro- per system of economy, by abolishing all Sinecures, removing all Placemen who subsist on the public without rendering it equiva- lent service. v' e.

Carmarthen, March 4th, 1831. —I am directed by the Grand Jury of the County of Carmarthen to request you to present the accompanying Petition, and give it your support. I have the honof to be, Sjr, Your most obedient humble servant, "JAMES HAMLYN WILLIAMS, Foreman." To the Honourable G. Rice Trevor, M. P., Lieut.-Col.,$c. 4c." Strat ton-street, March 8th, 1831. SIR,—I received your letter of the 4th inst. yesterday, and with it the Petition of the Grand Jury of Carmarthenshire, to which yott allude, and which I shall take an early opportunity of presenting to the House of Commons. I regret extremely that my opinions on the,subject of the pro- posed measure of Reform are at variance with those held by the Gentle- men who signed that Petition, and to say, that I feel compelled, by a deep sense of public duty, to decline supporting that measure.—With regard to the Assessed Taxes and the Duty upon Malt, I should be most happy to see them taken off; but at this moment it appears impossible to give the country that relief without the substitution of other taxes in'their stead. I shall be very glad to assist in such an object whenever it can be done without injury to the Revenue or,a breach of faith with the public Creditor. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, < "GEO. RICE TREVOR." To Sir James Hamlyn Williams, Bart."
