The Paris Papers of Wednesday last arrived on Friday morning, and we find by them that M. Laine, no sooner left his Chamber on Monday, after in his attempt to defer the report upon the Law of Elections, than he went to the Prime Minister itichlieu, and requested him t an =must to the King his intention to retire from the Pre sidency of the Chamber. M. Laine, however remmed the Chair on Tuesday, immediately and read a letter from the Prime. Mini:ter to him in which he informed him, thnt the King ha•l been made a:nu:tinted with Lis inten tions, but that his Majesty had directed him to entreat, awl if itc. , ,-s.wry to command the President to condone in !align on 11w Budgcl. 5... • •,. le.ia till the &to-1;1LN 7 1;if TIM NATIONAL lIEGISTr,II._ The rjectlon of the Law of hlection by the Chant her of Peen, evidently occasioned by the influence of the Crown, has produced great and general discontent, aril will, no doubt, give rise to niu,t important discus ititis in the Chamber of Deputies. This law secured to the Deputies the right of representation for five years, at the end of which it provided fur a general election, as is the case with us in England. The wish of Go vernment was, however, that the popular representa tion should be renewed annually by fifths, a system which could not fall to establish the control and as cendancy of the King over the Chamber.—General Drotiet, who accompanied liconararte to and returned with him from Elba, has been acquitted by the Count eil of War, on the gtcnud ant he weed in confomity to the commands of Napoleon as a Sovereign Prince, and that he had exerted himself to prevent the Usurper's invasion. The King, we ran glad to find, is so far recovered as to be able to receive tLefercign Ministers. Parliament adjourned cn Thursday for the Easter Re cess; the House of Lords 6;1 Friday the 26th instant, and the House of Commons till Wednesday the 24th. Among the parliamentary business, which lies over for discussion till after the holydays, arc several matters of great and serious importance. Mr. Serjeant Onslow's intended motion for the repeal of the Usury Laws must doubtless Iced to an investigation of the first princi ples of our legislation applicable to the interest of money. Intimately connected with this is the Bank Restriction Bill. We should trust that these subjects will nut be considered in a separate and insulated manner, but in their relations and bearings on the general principles of national wealth. It is the object of the learned Serjeant to leave the rate of interest to find its own level, without any ccmpulsicn or restraint from legislative enactments. The present is undoubtedly a period which seems to de mand some alteration of the existing system. Monied capital was never more requisite for the invigoration of zgliculture and commerce: and never was it more dif ficult to be obtained at the legal rate. Recent accounts from Madrid confirm the conspiracy which had taken place there. The plot originated with the disappointed Guerilla Officers, who had assembled in great numbers at Madrid. Gca. aDnoghtte haul been set at liberty, having acquitted himself of 'all con nexion with the plan for taking away the lives of Ferdi nand and the Royal Family. Advices from the Havannah to the 21st of February, bring intelligence that Santa Fe had Ehnen into the hands of the Royalists, utkr a smart action ; General Murillo himself commanded on the occasion. The insurgents were worsted in every direction, and there appeared little chance of recovering their lost ground. Morello, the insurgent Chief, who was taken brisoner in Mexico, had been executed. There had hem an arrival at Vera Cruz from Mexico, of u convoy with aheut eight millions of dollars, and a huge quantity of cochineal. Thursday papers and letters reached town from the Southern parts of the United States. These from Charlestown are to the 2d ult. and arc filled with com plaints against the seizure of Ante: an vessels found in the harbour of Carthagena, and the imprisanment and I cruel treatment of the crews.—The ellirit of intiii,metion excited by these outrages, appears to be generally. and en thttaitedically felt, and it is pointedly asserted, that the present state of affairs in relation to Spain, so injurious to the honour and national character of the American people, eon not long exist! The Hamburg's Papers contain a copy of the new Russian Tar;ff, which, it is stated, has reccivt'd the sanction of the Emperor, thou, Its it was not, at the dote of the last adrices from St. Petersburgh, officially pub. fished. fhongh this new arrangement will give in creased facilities to all mauufat•turing anti commercial nations trading to Russia, none .will obtain so large a share of those edvautaaes as our own merchants; and we consider it as a new proof of the cordial filendship sulri-tin;; between the Russian Cabatet and ours. No day hus yet been fixed fcr the trial of Sir It. Wit gar. and his wo coinpanions • but they have received a copy of the indictment from the Procureur General, which charges them with a misdemeenour in facilitating and consummating the escape of Luvalette. An Article fitora Vicuna, ys—"The last intelligence from Turkey informs us, that the Ottoman Porte his fur- molly refused to reccgaisc the independence of the lonian Liands." With a view to contribute still further to the accom plishment of the public desire for economy and retrench ment, it is said that Connoittee appointed by the Cubinet, consistmg of Lord BINNING, Mr. STUIMF.'3, BOURNE, and Mr. Pvinot, to emjuite into all the offices, bonxds, com missioners, and apixintments made since 1793, and to re port as to the necessity of keeping oil or any of them up. This Committee sits daily at the Treasury Chembers; auncl it is said that they have already examined the members of several boaids. AMU/. 11$. POLITICAL DISQUISITION. RETROSPECT OF THE SiSION. THE lalxmrs of Parliament are now suspended during the Easter Holidays, and an opportunity is thus offered to take a retrospective view of their nature, and of their . extent. Seldom had more important saltjects attracted the attention of the representatives of the land, anti sel dom have more activity and public spirit becu displayed, than in . the discussions and divisions which have token 'dare. Little was it expected, that when the grand con test in which all the force, and all the hopes and interests of the country were engaged should have been gloriously closed, such momentous duties would have remained for legislative wisdom to perform. The flight of the storm, it was thought, would be folldwed by immediate serenity and peace, and no trams would be loft to mark the 'conflict of the elements. This bleseing, however, though covered with the protection of 'Heaven, we had no right to anticipate. It was enough to hive been armed with courage to brave, and with strength to bailie the tempest: to have risen in all the majesty, and invincibility of free dom, against the hostility of the old and of the new world, and to have conquered only to deliver mankind., We could not justly demand to be relieved from the na tural results of such exertions. Fatigue and momentary exhaustion could not fail to overtake us even in the arms of victory, and difficulties and distresses to attend the first steps of peace. New efforts, not indeed of national prowess, but of legislative Wisdom, and patriotic spirit, were necessary to triumph over those after perils, and to remove them from our land. Those efforts have been made, both by the country and its representatives, with a degree of sincerity mid ardour which, to a very consi- - durable extent, has already commanded success. Pao period of Parliamentary history has teemed with greater activity and importance than that on the borders of which we now stand, though short and apparently insige nificant has been its duration. It began by an assurance, new in the cars of a nation accustomed to almost bound less expenditure, that economy would form the principle of Government, and become the foundation of all its measures. Hailed with joy, and received with confidence, this assurance was speedily put to the test. The impati enee of the administration seemed indeed to equal that of the country. Instead of postponing their financial ar ran e oements to a period of the session, when all their friends would be collected aroand them, and secure in their strength they might deride and defeat opposition, they unfolded their plans in the very first week of meet ing, and int:milk:tele proceeded to lay their estimates be film the House. These, however misrepresented, were not eteimstes of Peace. They were calculated to meet the exigencies of that state of doubt and experiment, during which the solidity of the ndvantages obtained, and of the treaty concluded is tried, and which, accord ing as the powers of the Continent, and England their l e ader, will ad with prudent wisdom or impolitic rash nest, may terminate in safe and undisturbable repose, or in fresh convulsions and wild attempts to restore the reign of universal despotism. Considered in that point of view, those estimates were moderate, and justified the assurance that a system of political economy was intended to be pdrsued, which would preserve the greatness of the country from decay, and her resources from exhaustion. To support this expenditure, however, an impost was proposed, which cast upon the whale system a shade cf the detestation with which it was individually regarded. Only secondary in fervour to the wish of disarming France, during the prolonged exertions and appalling ei eissitudes of the late contest, had been the hope of con quering with peace, a complete release from the exactions of the Property Tax. Now that triumph was atshievexl and peace obtained on terms of our own dictation, the country rose indignant at the prupesal of reviving an impost doomed by successive administrations to tenuinae with the war, as one of its meet afflicting scourges. The alledged insecurity of peace, which exined the ground of its renewal for two years, become tale of the strongest arguments against it; as it was apprehended that it' the Income Tax were granted fer that period, tome new war would arise 'before it had c:apsed, which wonitt render the burthen eternal. In vain was it justly teetee that modifications might he made in the medication of the impost and the mode of receiving it, which woold make it at once harmless and productive ; the courtly would neither credit the practicability of such a else , , nor sanction a breath of faith, Her petitieus covered the tehle of the I louse ; her representatives rellied round her; in an evil hour ministers peraireed, rely to meet ' defeat and prove to 5um:171414,e el:Liens, that the Ebel-- tic 3 of Eaglishmeer arc net thimerical, end that in curlond ~,~
