 The order of the Day was, hrst-the pro feet of law for credit of million and half for the secret expenses of the police, which was passed without debate by 96 to II. 1 The next subject was the law for the exclu- sion of the late King Charles x. and his faml- 1 ly, which gave rise to very warm and angry debate.

 The Duke de Ftz James, in a speech of three hours and half in length. acclaimed most vehemently against the proposed law He profsssed the doctrine of an appeal to the people, whose assent alone could give iO the law a character of stability, and he had de- clared that he did not acknowledge ln the Chambers the right of believing themselves { the organs of the national will. He develop ed the history of the house of Stuart, and re- turning afterwards to the hatred which pursu- ed the embIens OfIhe expelled race, he lnain- tained that it. would produce for those em- bIems, and the persons whose memory they l recalled, spirit of adOratiOn and fanaticism; and he said that their sufferings would give rise 1 tO new associations.

 M. Cassi,nir Perrier, who appeared to feel extreme indignation. could no longer keep si- lence he cried with loud voice, striking on his desk, We will combat them as we have done the others" The whole bench of l the Ministers answered in the most energetic manner, {" Yes, we will combat them, we will never yield to them" (The agitation of the assembly was extreme, and cries arose from all sides.)

 M. de Montalembert, standing, encouraged the speaker by his voice and gestures. M. de Fitz James. during the interruption, ,advan. ced towards the bench of the Ministers, and ! q I,> no% ,0An ms g Hn lhRn continued his discourse, which became ex- tremely violent, and was again interrupted by M. Cassimr Perrier.

 l M. Laine, in mournful voice, delivered ! long apology for the dethroned family, and some other Members having spoken, the as- sembly proceeded to the ballot.

 GREAT BRITAIN.

 On the 18th of April, the debate on the Reform Bill was opened in the House of 1 Commons, on motion that the House go into committee of the whole Un that subject. Lord John Russell introduced the discussion by a speech of considerable length; to which Gen. Gascoyne replied, and concluded by moving as an amendment that the number Of repre- sentatives for England and Wales might not he decreased. The debate was continued through the sitting, when at half past one o. clock at night it was adjourned to the next day. On the 18th it was resumed, and upon 1 taking the question, the vote stood for the a. mendment 299-against ]; s9l-msjority a. ganst ministers 8.

 On the 2lst of April, the subject of the Liv- erpool Election was introduced by Mr. Ben nett, who moved that the system of bribery and treating which prevailed in the election at Liverpool demanded the attention of the house. This brought on long, irregular, and desultory debate, which terminated in 3 mota0 for An adjournment on'the part of the opposition, and upon taking the question. the 1 vote stood for the adjournment l64-against 1 it 14s-majority against the ministry %. ] This state of things produced the necessity { of a change of ministry, or a dissolution of ] Parliament. The King chose the latter, and 1 went in person to the Peers, which he entered in the midst of a stor my debate, sent for the House of Commons, and pror"gued the Par l liament, for the purpose as he stated in his 1 speech of dissolving it. In all probability,be' l fore this time the kingdom is involved in the excitement of the elections, which we have no doubt will be found to exceed any thing that ever occurred on any similar occasion. The whole weight of Royal authority is thrown into ,he scale of Reform, and we have little doubt that ma jority of members in fla vOr of the measure will be returned in the new Parliament. Nor shall we be surprised to find that the influence of many Ofthe very ] BOrOughs which are about to he disfranchised, has been brought in to aid the plan of Reform.

 London, April e4.-Up to the moment of going to press, We have not heard any thing 1 from the Continent, which can add to the i'm rortant intelligence under our regular heads. The Polish victory is confirmed beyond ques. 1 ti"n. Prussia is suspected of an intention to )Oin the autocrat against the reviving troops of Poland. This intelligence. we are happy to say, is doubtful. The troops of the con federation pause in their advance on Luxem- bo0rg. Paris is more tranquil. Austria and the Pope ride over the necks of the insurgent Italians. Every eye is fixed upon England nOw.-Atlrs.

 It is impossible to give any thing like an adequate Idea of the feelings of intense de light with which the news of the propagation of Parliament has been received in the city by the great majority of the people on the one hand, and the chagrin and disappointment which it has excited among the few adherents of the bOrOughmOngers on the other. It is 1 not surprising that these latter persons should 1 feel thus, for the dissolution does, in fact, a. l mount to sentence of death on their polite. l al existence. But in what terms shall we ex- | press the feelings of gratitude and admiration | N hiCh inc pOnAncf nf kio Masnstu h.. n~IlcA |
