Tile royal ordinance for dissolving the French Chamber of Deputies
appeared, at last, in the Monueur of Wednesday. The
elections are to take place on the 4th of next month, and the new Chambers are to meet on the 18th of December. The same paper contains another decree creating fifty Peers in one batch. Among them we see the distinguished names Btostosr, CHARLES DUPIN, HUMANN, KERATRY, C.k1IILLE PERIER, PELET de Lozere, and TIBURCE SEIPtSTIANI. LOUIS PHILIP has set Lord MEL- BOURNE a good example. Had our Premier made fifty new Peers at the dissolution of the PEEL Parliament, the demonstration might have secured success at the elections ; but that chance having been lost, let him try what influence two or three scores of new creations may have on the new Parliament when it meets : they might perhaps keep him in office till the Coronation, when the opportunity might be seized to swamp Toryism in the Upper House by another influx of noble Whiggery. It seems to be uncertain whether the expedition against Con- stantina will not be postponed till the rainy season in Africa is over, or at least until the cholera, which now desolates the French army, is subdued. General DAMREMONT requires fresh rein- forcements; and indeed he is likely to need them, if it is true, as has been stated in an intercepted letter of an AraVehieftain, that the Bey of Constantine has assembled 37,000 men, with a good supply of artillery, for the defence of his capital.
There has been a deal of talk in Paris about the expul- sion of Count GONFALONIERI from France, by order of the Go- vernment. The Count was implicated in the disturbances in Italy in 1822 ; and being taken prisoner, was condemned to death. On the intercession of the Duke and Dutchess of ORLE.kNS, now King and Queen of the French, his sentence was commuted to banishment from the Austrian dotninions ; and Louts PHILIP also promised that lie should not live in France. The Count being ignorant, or pretending ignorance of the stipulation, re- cently returned to France, and complains bitterly of being sent out of it : but Louts PHILIP could not permit him to remain without breaking his word to METTERNICH. The Count went to Brussels.
