jforrigit Eittriligeurr. WE have received the Paris Papers of Tuesday, in which we find several long and abh com- ments on Sir Robert Peel's address to the constitu- ency of Tamworth. The French journalists are almost wholly agreed that a Tory Cabinet cannot stand—even the ministerials do not hesitate to declare that the citizen King looks with apprehension on the appointment to office of such men as the Duke of Wellington and the Earl of Aberdeen. The Journal des Debats, of which little Thiers is still the great luminary, takes it for granted that the Tory Govern- ment is on the eve of dissolution. The sham libe- rality of the new Premier is assumed as the proof of weakness which must prove fatal to the Conservative party. We do not place any great stress on these opinions of the French journalists, merely because given on their own authority. Foreigners in gene- ral know very little of the state of public feeling in England, and we have, ere now, had occasion to point to the Journal des Debats as not better infor- med than most of its Parisian contemporaries. Ne- vertheless M. Thiers is perfectly in the right on this occasion. The Tory Gevernment cannot uphold itself in England. It wants the confidence of the people, without which Sir Robert Peel himself de- clares no administration can conduct the affairs of this country. We also find in these papers, that M. Dupin meditated resigning the Presidency of the Chamber of Deputies, in consequence of the insult offered him by the recent vote for refusing him the payment of his salary during the prorogation. On consulting, however, with his friends respecting how he ought to act, they were of opinion, that as the, vote of the Chamber referred solely to a question of money, it would be unworthy of him to take any steps in consequence of it. After some reflection, the President agreed in this, and the consequence is, that he will not resign for the present. PARIS, DEC. 22.—A courier from Paris carries to Madrid the following intelligence, to the importance of which it is unnecessary to call attention The Charge d' Affaires of her Catholic Majesty at Lon- don having demanded the removal from Gibraltar of some Spaniards, who are dangerous agents of the Carlists, the Duke of Wellington has given imme- diate orders to the Governor of that fortress for their expulsion." Lord Brougham set out this morning for Nice. He intends to return and pass through Paris about the 15th of January. He seems not to intend to go further in Italy than to Genoa. The last visit he paid was to M. de Chateaubriand, whom he went to see on Saturday. It was not till the day before yes- terday that Lord Granville received the answer of the Duke of Wellington, which informs the late Ambassador that his resignation is accepted. The Duke had to wait till: his Ministry was constituted before he could come to a determination. The suc- cessor of Lord Granville will not be appointed till some days hence hut it seems that the latter will not wait for his successor's arrival, but will go imme- diately to London, though it is his intention to return in the sequel to Paris. The most inveterate of the Peers of France against the Editor of the National is M. Bartlie. The cause is easy to be conceived. It was by this same editor, M. Rouen, that M. Barthe was sworn a Carbonaro. Apostacy never cuts jokes.-Le CorsaL e. Ro-Nip, Dpr.. G.I'hough travellers of pH nationg continually reside here, who entirely differ in their political opinions and interests, they are very seldom expressed, even when they ar3 seen in the first houses in the city. But since the news of the Wel- lington appointment, it is observed that the English appear more opposed to each other. A few years ago, when the news of the passing of the Reform Bill arrived here, the Whigs distributed money among the poor, or rather threw it out of the win- dows. Now, on the contrary, the Tories celebrate by entertainment and balls the return of their party to power. Large wagers are laid on the question whether the new Ministry will remain in power as long as that which has just retired. Several English- men have left Rome to seek for employment under the new Administration. Others hope they shall be sent for to resume the offices which they formerly held. We have received intelligence from Lisbon of the 13th instant. The Portuguese Government has paid up the whole of the arrears due to the soldiers who assisted in expelling the usurper Miguel, and most of the British troops in the service of the Queen have been sent home. There was to have been a proro- gation of the Chambers on the 16th instant, till the 2d of January, when they were to meet again for the discharge of business. Portugal is now in a very tranquil and prosperous state. BRUSSELS, DEC. 22.—The Budget just voted by the Chamber of Representatives for 1835 increases, among others by 10 per cent. the stamp on news- papers. This augmentation, which is the more one- rous, as it applies both to the principal duty and the additional duty of 26 per cent., to which it is now subject, is to be laid not only on our own papers, but on all English, French, and German journals which we receive. This extraordinary duty is already 14 centimes for every French newspaper, and 26 cen- times on every English newspaper. This state of things will oblige us to increase the price of our news- papers from the 1st of January, when the law impo- sing the further addition of 10 per cent. on the duty will come into operation. The Bayonne and Bordeaux journals bring but little in addition to what we have already stated on the two actions of Sorlado and Carascal. The Senti- nelle, says Arrieros, w ho passed over the field of bat- tle soon after the action, say they counted within a c ircumference of fifty paces sixty-two dead, belong- ing to the rebels; the number of Carlists, killed and wounded, may be stated as between four and five hundred; the number of prisoners is not known. Lorenzo returned into Pampeluna towards the even- ing he brought with him a great number of mus- kets, taken from the enemy. The corps which came so opportunely to the support of Lorenzo, divided into several detachments, and continued to pursue the insurgents. The Election has the following ;— Bayonne, Dec. 17.-Several letters from Madrid an- nounce that Llauder will not long remain Minister they all agree that he is more of a Pastelero than his predecessors. It is well known he oppose d the at- tempts made by Mma in 1830. In the affair of Ca- rascal the Carlists are said to have lost 2a0 killed, 400 wounded, and 56 prisoners, and at Sorlado 300 killed and 500 wounded. We have no further ac- counts of these two actioiir,Illessager, Dec. 22. The French Papers of Thursday have been all re- ceived. On Monday night, his Excellency Prince Talleyrand fell suddenly ill, and great douhts are I). h b entertained of his recovery. The Prince has been in a declining state for several months past; and though a short interval of repose from the fatigues attendant on official life was prescribed by his Physicians, as a means of recovering his health, it is now generally believed that his glass is run." The Prince will be succeeded as Ambassador at the Court of St. James's, by the Duke de Broglie, unless something happen to overturn the Thiers Administration. Un Thursday, being Christmas Day, there was no busi- ness transacted on the Bourse, and the Legislative Chambers had adjourned their sittings over that day. PARIS, DEC. 23.—We said after the vote of the 6th of December, that the return of Marshal boult to the post of President of the Council seemed to be one the imminent consequences of this vote. The Mar- shal had retired on account of the views of rigid eco- nomy expected in the new Chamber, and in fact the energetic and decisive language of the Address on the subject of the supplementary votes of credit and of expenses not allowed in the budget, had been ma- nifestly directed against him. But now that the ad- dress is retracted, that is to say, interpreted as an eulogium without restriction on all the preceding acts of the Ministry, the retreat of Marshal Soult is the less to be accounted for. The pensee immuable has never ceased to be in favour. On the other hand M. Guizot visibly failed in the debate on the order of the day, in which M. Thiers completely eclipsed him. M. Thiers is now in a situation to de- prive his rival of influence, who is besides borne down by the weight of the recollections of Ghent. Lastly, it is impossible, after the memorable declara- tion of M. Dupin on the real and the nominal Presi- dentship, to maintain the ridiculous fiction of Mar- shal Mortier. In all these grounds we find nothing improbable in the report which is now spread of a new modification of the Cabinet, by which Marshal Soult would become Pres dent, and M. Guizot quit the Cabiuet. Thus we should be in a condition to meet the European crisis, which is preparing to sup- port Belgium againstan attack, either by Holland or the German Confederation, and to clear the Cabinet from the reproach which is now made against it from all quarters of being counter-revolutionary and anti- national, by sacrificing the man to whom this re- proach especially applies. It remains to be seen who would be entrusted with the department of Public Instruction, and how far it will be possible to recon- I cile Messrs. Soult and Humann. As for M. Thiers, he will always retain the characteristic epithet which the Marshal has affixed to his name. We hear also of movements of troops already ordered to be pre- pared on the Belgian frontiers, if Holland should violate the armistice which France has guaranteed. We cannot but applaud these arrangements.—Mes- sager, 24th of December. POLAND.—THE MONSTER AUTOCRAT!—The advices from the Polish frontiers to the 7th of De- cember are of a very melancholy description. The recent visit of the Emperor of Russia does not ap- pear to have been followed by any increased display of humanity towards the Poles. Thefemales arrested for refusing to denounce their husbands or sons still remain in prison. A few days before the arrival of the Emperor a most revolting punishment was in- flicted on the sister of the patriot Sypeck, shot at Warsaw for his political conduct. This young lady had been sent to one of the military stations to be mar- ried to a Russian soldier At the same time the mo. ther of Sypeck had been condemned to ten years' labour at the fortress of Wilna. Another act of cru- elty had been perpetrated in the seizure of Made- moiselle Kazska of the Palatine of Kalisch, who had been torn from her family and carried to some un- known destination. The cause of this arrest was said to he t'ue discovery at her residence of an orna- ment bearing a device displeasing to the Russian po- lice. The visit of the Emperor had produced no amelioration of this tyranny..
