FitearcE.—The division on Friday on M. Desmousseaux de Givre's amendment, which omitted the words "passions aveugles et ennemis," gave Ministers, in a House of 413 members, a majority of only 43. A divi- sion followed on the original clause of the address as drawn by the Com- mittee; and the Opposition now executed a manoeuvre—they withdrew in a body, and nearly secured a triumph by a species of " counting out" of the House. An absolute majority of the Chambers is necessary to make a vote valid; and it was indispensable that 230 Members should vote. Upwards of thirty Conservative voters, however, on this occasion, refused to vote for Ministers. M. Guizot was reduced to beseech them to vote even against him, so that they made up a quorum. At last 18 of those gentlemen did divide in a minority, of themselves alone, against the 223 who adhered to M. Guizot in hie strait.

On Saturday, the Chamber debated the amendment of M. Sallandrouze on the last paragraph, with the object of recognizing the Reform banquets and engaging the Government to measures of moderate Parliamentary Re- fbrm. Not one of the Opposition spoke; while no fewer than eix Conser- Vettives rose in succession and supported the amendment. M. de Mornay declared he must secede from the Government party if Reform were not indicated next session. M. Guizot resisted every advance, and would not be pledged. He drew a rule from illustrious precedents; from the history of the great Eng- lish reforms, all of which had been effected by men who had opposed them up to the very moment when they thought it their duty to accomplish them. In order to satisfy the Conservative Reformers, he hinted that he might perhaps carry re- forms which he opposed; and, after making the equivocal promise that "the ques- tion should be carefully examined during the present Parliament," he declared that if arrangements among the Conservatives were not successful, " the Cabinet Would leive to others the care of presiding over the disorganization of the party ltd the ruin of its policy."

M. Thiers declared that the Chamber had not asked the promise of a discussion; it could take a discussion without leave.

The question was, what is the opinion of the majority on the two questions of Parliementiey and Electoral Reform ? As to the first branch all were agreed, that two hundred employes ought not to sit in the Chamber. On the second branch all too were agreed, except the Government, which was divided. On a question which agitated France from one end to another, the Government had no fixed opinion, but was obliged to take its opinions from the Opposition, whose ideas M. Guizot pretended to despise. The amendment was rejected, by a majority for the Ministry of but 33. The ensemble of the address was then adopted, by 241 votes against 3; the Opposition having withdrawn, as on Friday. The debate had lasted nineteen days.

On Monday, the position of the Ministry was considered critical. A meeting of upwards of a hundred Deputies was held on Sunday; at which it was resolved, that the Deputies should attend the banquet of the twelfth arrondissement, and that no Deputy should go up to the King with the ad- dress even though drawn by ballot for the deputation. Five Peers have accepted the invitation to the banquet; which is to be held on the largest scale, and attended by deputations from various public bodies.

The Government is making unusual arrangements to facilitate the call- ing out of only trustworthy partisans in the National Guard. Thus much is positive- " The Government has," says the National, "caused deliveries to be made in the barracks, and especially in those of the eleventh arrondissement, this very day, of supplies of ammunition and provisions—such as bread, vermicelli, and bis- cuit—for eight days, besides axes and pikes, as if an immediate action were an- ticipated. None of these menacing demonstrations will intimidate the citizens, or prevent them from defending their rights by all the means offered them by the constitution."

The French Government is collecting large forces in the neighbourhood of Toulon, to be ready to take a part, if the occasion should require it, in the affairs of Sicily.

Ire-LT.—The Court of Turin has had its time of "constitutional " throe, and the issue is a proclamation of excellent promise. The King held a Council of Ministers on the 7th; and after short deliberation a proclama- tion was drawn up containing the bases of a constitution. The proclama- Con appeared on the 8th, and contains some fourteen articles to the follow- ing purport. Art. 1. The Roman Catholic religion is the only state religion; but other ex- isting forms to be tolerated. Art. 2. The King's person is sacred; his Ministers are responsible. Arts. 3, 4, 5. The King is the Executive head, in peace and war. He alone sanctions and promulgates the laws. He is the first fountain of justice and mercy. Art. 6. The legislative power is collectively in the King and Two Chambers. Art. 7. The first Chamber shall consist of the King's nominees for life. The second shall be elective, based on a graduated taxation franchise. Art. 8. Laws imposing taxes to be first proposed in the elective Chamber; other

i laws indifferently in either, or by the King. Art 9. The King to convoke annual sessions of Chambers, anedissolve the Elective; always convoking another in fear months. Art. 10. No tax to be levied unless voted by the Chambers and sane.. Coned by the King. Art. 11. The press free, but repressible. Art.12. Individual liberty guaranteed. Art. 13. Judges (with exceptions) irremoveable after a time of office determined. Art. 14. The organization of a communal militia of tax payers is reserved to the King. It shall be subject to the administrative authority of the Ministry of the Interior, and be suspended or dissolved where the King chooses.

This statute to be put in vigour after the new organization of the com- munal administration shall be at work.

In Sicily, the constitution of 1812 has been offered by King Ferdinand, and been accepted by the insurgents; but on the condition that the Prince Royal reside at Palermo as Viceroy of Sicily, a Regency being appointed during his nonage; and that a Sicilian Parliament assemble in Palermo. All the Sicilian fortresses are delivered to the Palermitans; the troops have returned to Naples; and the King has granted a general amnesty to all political offenders save the emigres implicated in the affair of 1821.

Haveitel.—Serious riots have occurred at Munich, arising out of the animosity borne to the Countess de Landsfeld (Lola Montez) by the students and the people. Clur narrative is compiled from a letter in the Journal des Debuts, and other sources.

In all the German Universities the students are wont to form into associations under distinctive names and wearing distinctive costume. Five such associations had long existed at the Munich University, under the name-of Pfalzer, Schwaben, Franken, Bavaren, and Isaren—the names of the five provinces of the kingdom i of Bavaria. A sixth was formed, under the denominative of Alemanen, in the very drawingrooms of Lola Montez, who took it upder her special protection. Its members, to the number of fifteen or twenty, wore caps of a deep red, decked with a band of various colours. They soon fell under the'censure of the other students; who would have no intercourse with them, and deelared them unworthy of obtaining satisfaction for any insult whatever. In-the come of the first week of the present month this ill-feeling rose to an open feud, and the Alemanen were pursued and hooted about the streets by large crowds of the other clubs of students.

On the 9th, at about noon, the same cries and hooting were revived with snore violence against the Alemaneu; who sought refuge at a tavern kept by a MD of the name of Rottmanner, where they usually dine and hold their. meetings. At the moment they were entering the tavern, oae of the AdemaneurCount de Hirsch- berg, no doubt irritated. by the cries of the crowd thronging the bazaar, suddenly drew a dagger from beneath his garments, and rushed with fury on the persons around him. A gendarme fortunately seized his arm at the moment he was about to strike a young man, and he was ultimately disarmed. The gendarme durst not arrest him, owing to his being a member of the Alemanen;.and hems enabled quietly to enter the tavern. There his comrades, who awaited him, tools his part, and addressed a letter to Lola Montez to claim her protection: Lola immediately left her residence and ran to the scene of the uproar. Be- ing recognized, threatened, and pursued by the shouts and insults of the multitude, she endeavoured to procure refuge in the houses in her passage; but all doom, even that of the Austrian Legation, were closed on her. Then was the King, who had been warned of what was passing amidst a fete he was giving at his palace, seen to descend to the streets, and, amidst the disturbance and cries of the multitude, offer his arm to Lola, with the view of protecting her. Thus did they enter together the Theatine Church, in front of the Palace; where the unhappy woman threw herself at the foot of the altar, and exclaimed, " God protect my best friend, my only friend !" Immediately after, she left the church with a pistol in her hand. Outside, the irritation went on increasing, and the cries of "Pereat f Down with the---'s spies!" were raised. The moment she was recognized, the crowd rushed on her; a man of the people, after wresting the pistol from her, seized her by the throat, threw her down against a wall, and delivered her over to the insults of the populace. She was at length rescued by the gendarmes, con- ducted to the infantry post at the Palace, and next to the apartments of the royal residence.

The people assembled in the Obelisk Place broke up the wooden enclosures of the houses there for arms, in order to resist the gendarmerie. The guards charged a crowd of students, wounded two of them, and killed a man.

The King went so far as to close the University for a year, and order every student not a townsman to quit in forty-eight hours; but the Municipality after- wards obtained a revocation of this order.

Intelligence of the 11th states that the King had induced Lola Montez to leave Munich by a "golden bridge." The people had made an attack on and sacked her house, on the heels of her retreat. He had dismissed Prince de Wallenitein, President of the Council of Ministers, who had advised him to send off the Spa- nish dancer; and named in his place AL de Maurer, the Councillor of State who. signed the decree conferring on Lola Ilontez the title of Countess Landsfeld. Letters of the 12th supply a truly theatrical sequel-

" Lola Montez reappeared today in our city, dressed in male attire. She pro- ceeded yesterday only to Stahrenberg, three leagues from Munich, and made today a last attempt to penetrate into the royal palace. Some ten or twelve students of the Alemannen Association, her body guard, escorted her. The moment the return of the royal mistress execame known, the people assembled, and strict in- quiry was made to discover her hiding-place. Fortunately for her, Prince Wel- lerstein, who still retains his seat in the Ministry, caused her to be arrested by gendarmes, placed in a post-chaise, and sent off to Switzerland. She reached Augsburg in the afternoon. Three students accompanied her in the carnage with the two police-officers. On leaving Munich, she said, The King will abdi- cate and follow me into exile.' I think she is mistaken; for, however enamoured he may be of her, his Majesty is still more attached to his crown. In order to remove all doubts as to her departure, the Government communicated an official notice of it to the Municipality; and that body placarded it at the corners of the principal streets. She was known to have reached Augsburg."

In the height of the riot, the King was "accidentally " struck by stones, thrice; but was not much hurt. On the 12th, he went about the city, both in a coach and on foot, visiting the scenes of the disturbance; and was re- ceived with the customary marks of respect. He looked pale and dejected.

UNITED STATE8.—The Cambria arrived at Liverpool on Sunday, with news from New York of the 29th January, and from Halifax to the 1st instant. The New York Herald has positive intelligence that a treaty has been made by Mr. Trist in spite of his recall, in conjunction with Ge- neral Scott in spite of his suspension. " This treaty has not yet been re- ceived at Washington, but is expected by the next arrival from Vera Cruz. The terms, however, are known in Washington, and they are disapproved by the Cabinet." The Washington Eni...a denies that Government has re- ceived any official intelligence of such fact; but the denial is not generally believed. Just before the Cambria started, a telegraphic despatch announced at New York that the Senate had that day been considering a project of 'a treaty with Mexico received by the President the day before. Canarta.—The results of the elections have come with the last news. The Opposition have secured no fewer than 52 seats, against the 19 seats gained by Ministers; 7 seats being held by neutrals. M. Lafontaine was unopposed at Terrebonne, and has also been returned by a large majority, with his colleague, Mr. Holmes, for Montreal. The excitement at Mon- treal was alarming: every citizen had provided himself with fire-arms. Lute of new Ministries are rife.
