Freemen, and other privileged persons, now voters, to continue so without alteration.

The bill was read a second time on the 17th of December, there being, for the reading, 324, against it, 162,-majority, 162.

On the 15th December, Mr. Stanley moved for and obtained a committee to examine into the state of the Clergy in Ireland, with a view to propose some plan to secure them their legal rights without collecting tithes. He did not suggest any specific plan, but hinted at a commutation of tithes for land. The House stands adjourned to the 17th January, 1832.

A special commission has been issued for the trial of the Bristol rioters, to commence their sittings on the 2d January, 1832.

IRELAND. The previous opposition to the payment of tithes has been productive of the most serious distress to the Clergy in many parts of the sister island; whilst the attempt to serve processes to enforce payment has been attended, at least in one instance, with a murderous opposition. Near Kilkenny the officer, under the protection of the police, was attacked and murdered, together with twelve of the police men.

Several of the rioters fell, but their number could not be ascertained. The jury returned a verdict, "That the deceased police came to their death in consequence of wounds inflicted on them in the discharge of their duty, protecting a person serving law processes."

FRANCE.The Committee of the Chamber of Peers have made their Report on the bill for the new regulation of that Chamber. They recommend the adoption of all its provisions except the abolition of the hereditary

succession. On that clause the Committee divided seven for, and seven against the measure. It therefore comes before the Chamber on its own

merits. The opinion is, that the votes of the thirty-six new peers will amply suffice to carry the abolition.

The state of the country is truly alarming. Great distress and disturbance prevail in the provinces. The mob and riotous students in Paris are on the alert to take advantage of The any pretext to excite tumult. first principles of constitutional existence are exposed to violent debate; the personal character of the King is sinking in public estimation; the financial distress of the country becomes daily more oppressive; the ministers are divided among themselves; and the minds of all classes of men are unsettled and bent on change.

NETHERLANDS AND BELGIUM.-The continental papers unanimously assert that the Emperor of Russia has refused to ratify the Treaty of Partition proposed by the London Congress, to recognize Prince Leopold as King of Belgium until he has been so recognized by the King of the Netherlands, and not to permit any Power henceforth to interfere with an armed force in the difficulties existing between Holland and Belgium. The latter Power is said to have raised a loan of two millions of florins, negotiated by Messrs. Rothschild.

SPAIN AND PORTUGAL.-The Governments of these countries have formed a close alliance for their mutual support. A body of twenty thousand Spaniards has been assembled on the Portuguese frontiers, ready to enter Portugal should any attempt to land there be made by Don Pedro. body of three hundred recruits, to support the authority of the latter, sailed from Liverpool on the 26th November; but the vessel having been driven into Milford Haven by stress of weather, two-thirds of them deserted, and returded to their homes.

A

RUSSIA. By a new tariff, the customs duties are increased, generally twelve and a half per cent., and on some specified articles, to a greater

amount.

TURKEY.-The cholera morbus has broken out at Smyrna, and carried off nearly six thousand victims. Since the first appearance of this pestilence in India, fourteen years ago, fifty millions are considered to have perished by it.
