amg gUflbtvKatv* New-Yo*k, February 9. Zntereatiag from Buropc. Uy the pocket skips Canada, Captain Graham, (Jan. 6) and Napulron, Ca|it, (Smith, (Dec. 25) we have received Lon don papers to the 4th, and Liverpool to the &lh of January, Inclusive. They re late to ibe condemnation of the Ex-Min isters of France to perpetual imprison ment—the resignation of Gen. Lafayette ■s Commander-in Chief of the National Guard—the non-intervention of the five Great Powers in the affairs of Belgium, Ac. us the Emperor of Itussin with re gard to Poland—and lust, n*t least, the Improvement in the English Grain .Mar kets. The resignation of Gen. Lafayette, as ■commander-in-chief of the National Guards, is tin unexpected event. It up pears to have liecu occasioned hy :i re solution, which passed the Chamber oi Deputies on the 24th Dec. declaring (he office held hy him os commander in-chief, no longer necessary—n new organiza tion of the Guard being about to take pluce. A re-appointment of Lufayette, under the new organization appears to have been completed ; but the old veter gn was adt pleased with “coquetry,” and immediately sent in his resignation to the King.- I'pon receiving It, the King is said to have sent fur ‘ Ids old and long tilluehed friend,” and urged him to re- ' same Ids command. Lufuyette declared that he appeared not as an unconnected individual, hut us a negoeiutor ; and in re ply to the King's earnest entreaty that he would re-iiccepl the eoiiiiiiiind in chief of the Guards from ids hands, said that he never could do so, without an in fusion of popular strength into Ids majes ty's present councils, mid the introduc tion of such mi eleetorinl law ns would falisly the people, and give solidity to (lie institutions ol the revolution. They parted late in the day on terms of warm mutual respect, nnd the King held n council of ministers, which lusted till midnight. It is added, that lie went to the palace at 3 o'clock on the following morning to revoke his resignation, lan the King replied it was then too lute; for at midnight Gen. lioban hud received his commission. The new British Ministry, like thn» of Prance, ibid it dilllenll to meet the high wrought expectations of the populace. The reform in Pitrlinment which is so loudly demanded by the whole Empire, has caused a division in the cabinet, soma advocating or mure sweeping measure (him others.

From Belgium accounts nre more sa tisfactory-nil is quietness there, and the London Globe says, that a private let ter, addressed to an eminent house in London, mates that the affairs of ilol land ami Belgium are likely to lie ad justed; that Belgium takes upon herself one Imirof llie Dutch debt, mid tliat in return the free navigation of the Scheldt ■is grunted to tile Belginiis. According to some of the French pa pers, some revolutionary movements had taken place at Home, the inhabitants of (lint city being up in urins, and demand ing a Constitution. Indeed, the whole ol Italy, is represented to be on the eve of an insurrection. A report prevailed ill Home that the majority of the < 'ordinals appear decided to vote Ciinliiliil i-Vseli, Archbishop of Lyons, mid uncle to Napoleon, to the pa pal chair. Hamburgh papers contain but little fresh intelligence of moment from Po land.

Tile trial of the Ministers of Clin lies X. vviis concluded on the 21st. They were liiu.id guilty of treason, und con demned to perpetual imprisonment, with the forfeiture ol'lheir titles, rank, and or ders. The Prince do Poligmic was moreover declared to ho “civilly dead,” a sentence, winch in France, deprive* n mini ofevery civil and social right. It conveys his properly to his heirs, dis solves Ids marriage, so far ns respects its civil consequences, and lakes from l.im all control and direction in the education of Ids children. M. C'aueliy and J-tanjon, commission ed to rend the verdict of the Court of Peers to the four ex-tniniulers, went to Vincennes on Wednesday morning, the 22d,ntsix o'clock.—Having arrived nt the t'uslle, they were obliged to obtain admittance, to convey n letter to the governor, which they iittai tied to the eliidn of the draw bridge employed for tlmi purpose. The bridge was imme diately lowered, and they were conduct ed to the dungeon by General Dannies mill, who nlone has possession of flu key of the gates. The four ex-minis ters. and even the governor himself, were entirely ignorant of the result ofthe trial, for the bridge had been raised (he pre v ions evening, immediately on the entry of the prisoners, and no person whatever had I •oiii dial moment been admitted in-1 to the Castle. MM. Cnnehy nnd Hniijon were llrs! introduced into a large nnti ehamber, eoninmiiieatiiig with the apart ments ofthe ex-ministers, who were still in lied. MM. do Cliniitelaiize nnd De Gin-moil Danville were quickly dressed nnd in attendance; in h-aifan hoar Pey i-omiet appeared, nnd die three then pro ceeded to the chamber of Prince Polig nne, w ho had intimated, that, being ex tremely unwell, he was desirous of re maining in bed. In the room, there fore, M.Cuuehy, grevier, read to them the decree ofthe Court. Htiejh hud been their blindness, such their Confidence, that they nil evinced great surprise and disappointment; (hough there appeared a ri-iinirkablc contrast between! be firm ness and resignation displayed by MM.

Tlie latter espe cially hent-il with the utmost eonsterna lion that part of the decree which says that civil dentil is involved in the een | lenee of transportation. Daring the read ing of the verdict, the linn- prisoners kept silence.

No disturbance took place when the fate ofthe ministers was made know n. This tranquility is,however, to he attri buted less to the acquiescence ofthe pop ulace, in the decision of the peers, than to the excellent nn-iingcineiits whicli hml been made to prevent disturbances, and to tlie good disposition ofthe National Guards. The crisis which tins just passed was expected with doubt ami apprehen sion by all who wished for the mainten ance ofirnnqnilily in France or in Europe; that it should have terminated william bloodshed is therefore a eii-emnstam-e wliieb. whilst it reflects honor upon the French government, nnd must add ma terially to its stability, affords also n powerful guarantee for the niuiuteuunce ofthe general peace. The London correspondent ofthe Liv erpool writes ns follow s,under date ofthe evening .lan. 3. A Polish gentleman, of Iho name of Wielopoliskl, had arrived in Paris from Warsaw, charged with a mission from the Dictator. The object of his mission is said in some jif the private letters from Paris, to be that of solicit mg the French Government'a alliance with Poland, or, 1 1 at leant, her good offices with the princi-' i pal powers of Europe, so that the inde- i penitence of Poland might ho obtained. < It was generally to be believed in Paris t that this envoy would not succeed in ob- < taming any thing from the present (iov- < eminent of Prance. No longer under ( the intluencc of popular clamour, that i government is more than ever lived in its i determination not to interfere with the | internal concerns of foreign nations, pro- I vided others adhere |o the same line of i policy. i The Moniteiir contains an address from i fits Majesty Louis Phillip, to the Na- i tional Guards, in which, alter express ing his regret at the retirement of Gen. Lafayette, he nolilies the appointment of Count Lnbon, ns Connnumler-in-Chicf of the National Guards, in his stead. The new election law of Prance has been presented to the Chamber. It dou bles tlic number of electors, making them 180,LoO instead of somewhat about 80,- 000; and it reduces to 500 francs of di rect taxation the qualification for clligi hiiity to vote. This will fall far short of the hopes of those who calculated on the extension of votes to 400,000 electors. Warsaw, Dec. 25.—The Polish Diet opened on the JHth inst.

On taking the question, the Semite refused to grant leave for the in troduction of (he resolution, yens 23, nays 20.

The motion to lay on the table was rejected, however, on a divi sion by yennays, by a vote of ayes 88, noes 100 r jt the report was ordered to he printed.

In the Senate, on the Bth, Mr Benton asked leave to introduce a bill repealing the duty on alum fall, which he prefaced with a speech, containing various facts, ami arguments in support ofthe measure; but before any question was taken ns to granting leu a e, n question of order arose whether this bill could he consistently in troduced, there being already a bill on the table for repealing the duties on n number of articles, among w hich was that of salt. This question was then, nt the suggestion of Mr. Hav.nf, laid over for consideration. The hill from the I louse of Representatives for thb settle ment ofthe necounts of James Monroe, was rend twice, nml referred to n select committee, consisting of Messrs.

House of Rr.eßssr.nTATivis, ) tl'cdnesihy, Dec. &, ls3o. (J Debate on the College Bill. The College bill, which provided for an ap propriation of $30,000, was then taken up, in Committee of the Whole; and after it was read, Mr. Schley offered a substitute, providing for the appointment of eleven additional Trus tees, from the Clark party, viz : Wilson Lump kin, of Monroe ; James C. Watson, of Bald win; Zachariaii Williams, of Columbia; Thomas W. Murray, of Lincoln; Dr. Daniel Hook, of Louisville; Howell Conn, of Hous ton: Dr. David A. lleese, of Jasper; Angus M. U. King, of Monroe; Jacob Wood, of Mc- Intosh; Stephens Thomas, of Athens, and Dr. James Tinsley, of Cla k; so as to make the whole mimhc of Trustees twenty eight, and fourteen fom each party —Also, so an appropri ation of SB,OOO annually, payable semi annually, from Um Central Batik, and an immediate one of SIO,OOO, to bo repaid from the annual ap propriation, as that lecomcs due. The substitute was taken up by sections. Mr. Neal, ol Newton, moved to strike out the first section, appointing the Trustees; w hieh motion was supported by Mr. Byne, and opposed by Mr. W oFEonn. Mr. Neal disapproved of this section altogeth er—considered it a corrupt understanding; a plan to buy up votes in favor of an appropriation for the College, and would not vote for the hill while it contain* it. Mr. Wofford repelled the charge of corrup tion. The arrangements entered into was for the benefit of the institution and the State. It was the only means of removing the prejudices which had long existed against the College, owing to the manner in which its affairs bad been managed, and controlled by one party a lone—the Troup party—and that it was now the wish of that party to remove the dillicultics winch existed, by the measure proposed. Mr. Cleveland said the measure was propos ed by the Troup parly, and intended to pro mote the welfare of the College—and was cal culated to give that proper equality of parties in the Institution, which ought to have existed long ago. The question was then taken on Mr. Neal’s motion, which was rejected. Mr. Neal proposed to amend the section by striking out four of the names, and mscrling in their stead, those of Thomas Flournoy, Ciias. J. McDonald, D.—, Cooper, and John G. I’ol niLL. Mr. Hull raid the Trustees and Faculty of the College, wished the number of Trustees in creased to twenty-eight, and had proposed the present arrangement in the annual report to the Sonatas Acadcniicus. It might he said that fif teen or twenty Trustees wcic all-sufficient to consider and transact the various business of the Boa d. But there wore ollrer considerations worthy of notice. Seventeen was the number when the population ofthc Stale was com; a a tively small; and twenty-eight, now, was not more, in proportion to the extent of poj ulation, than seventeen had been. The additional Trus tees, selected from various parts of the Slate, would greatly advance the interests of the In stitution in their respective sections—dissemi nate correct views of its nature, policy, govern ment, and worth to the Slate, among the people around them, and thereby' concentrate upon it the regard aud support of the whole population. The Trustees would naturally feel a warm in terest in advancing the welfare ofthe College— and their respectability and influence, and cor rect knowledge of the Institution, in all its va rious relations, would enable iham to do so to a great and most beneficial extent. Wherever they were, the feelings of the people would be kept alivo on the subject; and where they were not, its interests would, comparatively, he neg lected and forgotten.—With regard to the propo sition before the House, there was no improper or corrupt bargaining. It was a just and proper means ol doing justice to a party whoso inter ests in the institution were equal with thoso of the other. Why should tho management of it he confided to one party alone 1 Its interests required that party should bo entirely excluded. Both parlies equally supported it; and if it was an honor to partake of the management of it, why should cither party be debarred ? It nced cd tiro support of botli parties, and should there fore bo made acceptable to both.—'Tbo Institu tion had suffered much injury by fire; and a liberal appropriation was needed to restore it to a stats of energetic capability ouj • To obtain such appropriation it was necessary that it should he supported with one heart and with one mind. It wanted general confidence; and (he present measure suggested itself as the best means of obtaining that confidence. Tho whole community should be equally represent? od in it—all jealousy should he removed—tho f management should be taken from one political ' party and placed in tiro hands of both. Thet difficulty complained of was partiality—lot that ' difficulty be removed, and a suitably appropria tion will doubtless be obtained. dr.eu Mr. Schlev regretted the objcctunA which had been made, and thought them by itvmntis fair or reasonable. Tho College, so far, and ill its benefits, had been confined exclusively to ■ one party. All this was right, with some oy.- tlcmcn, while the Clark party, which Ind-oon tribuled equally to its %pport, would continue to do so without partaking of its benefits, But they hod determined to io so no longer; and tho Troup party, sensihleVthe necessity ofol taiuing their support, hud proposed that all par ties should he represented. This was no har -1 gain. The Clark party needed not to bargain for their rights. They were not a small, pow erless minoiity, hut an equal portion of the jeo pie, knowing their lights, and dote.mined to sustain them. here, not to bargain | for their rights, hut to demand them. The op ! posite party had had the entire control of the i Institution. But now, finding that it could not ho sustained without giving their opponents an equal influence in its concerns, their magnanimi ty had suggested the ( lan. They had como forward and pro;osed it. The Clark party merely claimed their rigiits, and when ofieicd them, should they refuse, lest they should bo charged with making a conu.pt bargain 1 They pay their prop ortion of the money collected in to the Treasury, or appropriated for Franklio College, and they have a rigiit to decide equally how that money shall be applied. Have they their proportionate influence in tho disposal of the funds of the College, which they take part . ; in appropriating?—As at least an equal potion of tho people, they pay, say an equal portion of these funds. Their Representatives, in tho Boa.d ofT.ustccs, aio three, to fourteen Troup men. What influence hare three, against four' teen? and consequently, what power in the dit> posal of these funds of which they pay an equal part ? Was it to he expected that such a stato of things could always continue ?—That tho. Clark men would always continue thus to ; ay, . and the other p arty to receive and dis. use of, for thei. own exclusive benefit? Or was it net to ho expanded, as it had turned out, that tiro , Clark party would at last refuse, and the others I would be obliged editor to offer them their just rights in the College, and take, themselves, their proper pitojtotlion, or that they would ulti. ; .mutely sac. dice lire College altogether, and iti 'giiispuiig at all its privileges and benefits, loso all I—They have very properly ami hero, ably chosen the former. They Iravo offered us our [ rights, and we accept them. Wire, vis the eo.- , ruption in this? or tho bargain and sale? Tito gentleman from Newton has pro; osed other names than those selected by tho Cla U party—those which had been selected after full , consultation with the wishes of tho party, and , which were acceptable to it. It had been propotr ed, that it should select its own Tr ustees. Why then should the gentleman from Newton select them ? Did Clark men select the prresent Board ?—lt had been considered desirable to allay p arty feelings, and to make the Collegia what it ought to ho—a State institution, in* stead of a party one; and if in effecting this object, Clark men arc to be elected, it is prop or 1 that Clark men should select them. The pre sent names were selected by almost tho unani mous voice ot tho prarty; and pf acceptable to it, why propose others, which could only pro mote confusion and dissatisfaction ? £ln tlm course of his argument, Mr. SctsLEl made a forcible and eloquent appeal to tho friends of Literature and Science, in behalf of ' the College—shewing its execlh nt effects up og the people and character of the State, and free institutions, when properly conducted with ao impartial view to the interests and welfare of tho whole people.—But, owing to frequent its tarruption, we cannot ho; o to reprort it with ar.y thing like justice to its power and effect.] Mr. N kal said he wished to change hut fou* nanuts, and those for other Clark men; and tlroso . whom lie considered men of superior qualifica tions. Were not lire four lie had selected, nreu of superior attainments in Literature ami Sci ence, and was it not desirable to elect such lo a literary and scientific institution? He himself preferred those names, and be believed tins , House would ; but he was opposed to the whole arrangement, and should vote against the bill ou | principrle, while it contained this section.—As to , tire bargain, the Troup men say they cannot gel ' an appropriation without making this proposi tion, and therefore they agree to make conccsi siotis which they otherwise would not do, fur tho purpose of buying up votes in its favor. Mr. Sciii.ev observed, the gentleman confess' ed that he was opposed to tho bill, and that ho would not vote for it, even if Iris amendment were adopted. Why, then, make the amend ment, but to defeat the hill, rather than from ao objection to lire names he proposed to strike out ? It was of no consequence what was tiro literary character or attainments of tho men whose names ho proposed to insert, if he would afterwards vote against them. As to tho gen tlemen mentioned,ho could say,that Gen. Flour noy and Judge McDonald had already been selec ted by the party, and both had refused the ap, (‘ointments. Mr. Cooper might h«sve been se lected, and probably would have been, had not he been inadvertently overlooked, in scanning hastily through the party, ,111 enough other name* had been chosen; and to change thetn would have been invidious; and Mr. Polhill would pro hahly have been selected, had not the gcntlemeq who made the selections, thought it advisable to select older men. Neither himself, nor the gen tlemen with whom ho had consulted, had tho slightest objections to either of tho names pro posed by the gentleman from Newton. They were all popular with the party, and would all bo voted for with pleasure, on this occasion, if it were possible. But tiro friends of the hill would not consent to any change of names. Il would be illiberal and unfair to do so after selecting them. And fie would also, say, that he himself ttwiM cot vote for thtr Bill* if the evaw wero
