CHA viBER OF DEPUTIES. Sitting of the 13th April.—Continuance of the discussion on the hill authorising the Minister, in cue of necessity, to raise an extra sum of 100,000,- 000, during the recess of the House. M. Enouf would remonstrate against the propo sition, unless the words, “in case of war, were sub stituted for “in case of necessity.” General Lamarque seized on this opportunity of attacking the Ministers for their foreign policy.— Our Minister of foreign affairs, says that a set of riotous fellows in Belgium, are protesting against a sue forget wftat b nuice Das done tor iici , s uiP expect to take Fiance? Let her preserve peace within; let her respects the rights of humanity* let her hide from Europe the spectacle of bloody anar chy, and then she can claim the protection of wise and free nations.

France recognized this in November—thiB is tlie natural state of things, we are determined to pre serve it; I hope to do it with the consent of others* Gentlemen, you know our intention—we wish a free particular article of the Protocol of London; it is f and national policy at home—government is free not however a set of riotous fellows, but the whole Belgian people who demand the execution of a so lemn promise made by our government. Prussia, say our Ministers, wishes peace—aye! she wishes peace so long as the heroic resistance of the Poles makes her fear for her Grand Duchy of Posen—she wishes peace—ves! peace, with pre serving of the tribute she tore from us in 1815— from the powers of tumults—foreign tumults will not affect us; we will not grant them war; we would declare it, if peace were neither the safest oi most honorable lor France. If the war w ere probable, if it was necessary to our honor we would ly say so to the country; with the same frank ness that w T e do hid it have hope and courage—eve ry day gives fresh guaranty of the continuance of B tivi, to entitle them to attention. MISCELLANY. The following is one of the pre-best pieces in the lari- §5ua<;e, ami written by an author, who has probably l>een As violently abused, considering,his deserts, as any wri ter of the dnv. It is by Leigh Hunt, QN HEARING A LITTLE MUSICAL BOX. Hallo!—what ?—where ?—what can it be That strikes up so deliciously ? 1 never in my lift—what no! That little tin box playing so ? It really seemed as if a sprite Had struck among us, stvift and light, And come from some minuter star To treat us with his pearl guitar. Hark! it scarcely ends die strain, But its gives it o’er again, Lovely thing! and runs along, J ust as if it knew the song, Touching out, smooth, and clear and small, Harmony, and shake, and nil, Now upon the treble lingering, Dancing hoyv as if ’twere fingering, And at last upon the close, Coming with gentle repose. © full of sweetness, crispness, ease, Compound of^svely smallnesses, Accomplished trifle—tell ns what To call thee and disgrace thee not. "Worlds of fancies come about us, Thrill within and glance without US Now yvc think that there must be Jn thee some humanity, Such n taste, composed and fine Smiles along that touch of thine. Now we call the heavenly rain, For thy fresh continued strain; Row a hail, that on the ground Splits into light leaps of sound; Now the concert, near and nice, < )f a pigmy paradise; Sprinkles then from singing fountains ; Fairies heard on tops of mountains; Nightingales, endued with art, . Caught in listening to Mozart.; Stars that, make a distant tinkling, Whiie their hap by eyes are twinkling; bounds for scattered rills to flow to; Music for the flowers to grow to. O thou sweet and sudden pleasure, Dropping in the lap of leisure, Essence of harmonious joy, Epithet-exhausting toy: Well may lovely hands and eyes Start at thee in sweet surprise; if or xv ill we content to see In thee mere machinery ; But recur to the great springs Of divine and human things, And acknowledge thee n lesson For despondence to lay stress on, Waiting with a placid sorrow What may come from Heaven to-raorwtv. And the music honed at last, When this jarring life is past. Come, then, for another strain: We must have thee o’er acain. H * is brave, firm, and energetic; combining pru- d ace with courage in an extraordinary degree.— Hens warm 1 v attached to his country and though poor, is highly decended and connected. His no bleness of spirit may he best described by the fol lowing anecdote", which occurred shortly before the commencement of the revolution, and was told to the writer by an eye-witness. The troops quartered in Warsaw, were in the bit of being frequently exercised in a large square (Place de Saxe,) under the eye of Constantine. One day the Cesarewitch,after surveying his own body guard, who were all splendidly dressed and perfectly well equipped, turned his eyes upon the regiment ofChlopicki with a look of scorn.— “General!” said he, “ vour soldiers are a disgrace to the army—officers, horses, and men, are all bad. You are not fit to be among my troops,” “Your Imperial Highness is quite right.” said Chlopicki, dismounting, and laying his military hat and sword at the Grand Duke’s feet; “we are not fit to be among your troops; for we did not learn to make war in the Place de Saxe!”—Correspondent of the Athameum. The Petrified Fo r rest of Missouri.—Some two or three months ago, we mentioned in our paper, that a monthly magazine was about to be established in Illinois, under the editorial superintendence of James Hall. The first number of this journal was pub lished in the beginning of the present month, and a copy of it now lies before us. Its contents are prin cipally original, and comprise a number of scientif ic, statistical and literary articles. Among other matters of interest, a letter from an officer of the U. State’s Army is given, in which some curious particulars are stated of the remains of a petrified forest, which are found in great abundance at a lit tle distance below the junction of the Yellow Stone river with the Missouri. These remains of trees cover the ground,.on the Missouri, at about lati tude forty-eight, for a distance of between twenty and* thirty miles. The writer states that the sur face of the earth is literally covered with stumps, 8th instant. FOREIGN DEBATES. “>«f '™ at 'T: 1 " 1 " seera , me nnpromranera- j t ,, e ear(h ,.l, c stumps „f others stand at an ele- of this gallant gereral, who has thus far j vat j ou n f several feet above the surface. A singu- GENERAL SKRZYNECKI. Some of our readers have doubtless despaired of pronouncing what would seem the unpronouncea ble name w w unstained the perilous cause of Poland. A friend ^ j ar c i rcurns t a nce connected with the existence of who has supped with Lord Byron, shaken hands ^ |} iese petrified remains of trees, is the elevation of with the late emperor Alexander, been intimate J g roun( j on which thev are found in greatest a- bundance. The face of the country throughout the thirty miles over which these singular relics are scattered, is hilly, and much broken into deep ra vines. Mr, Crossman, the writer of the communi cation in the Illinois Magazine, estimates that the summits of the hills are not less than three hundred feet above the present level of the river; but their exact elevation was not ascertained from his not having the instruments. A writer in the Philadel phia Chronicle, noticing the curious facts communi cated by Mr. Crossman, concerning the petrified forest of Missouri, regrets that he has neglected to with Mavrocordato, and drank sherbert with the suhan, tells us that it is Skre-enetske, who has done such wonders before the astonished Balkan crosser, JDe-bitch. John Skrzvnecki was born in Galicia, a province iu Southern Poland, of considerable extent, and is now about forty-four years of age; he was educat ed at Leopold. In 1901), when Napoleon entered Poland, he found an exulting welcome in the hearts of the in habitants of that ill-fated and deeply injured coun try. An animated recollection of the violence which had suppressed their previous struggles stMe ^whether tlie trees are"’true”petrifaction, or amiinst an odious foreign yoke, an inextinguishable hatred against the authors of their grievances and oppression, and that ardent love of liberty so char acteristic of tins gallant nation, disposed them to have hailed with jovful feelings, not only Napoleon, but Lucifer himself, had he proposed to assist them in regaining the independence of which they had been so unjustly deprived. Skrzvnecki was one of the foremost oi'the daring band itlfich hurried to the field to “strike lor their altars and their fires, ihe green graves of their s|$es, God, and their na tive land;” he abandoned his home, and entered the regiment of infantry, commanded by Colonel Mala- eowski now a General of Division. In 1808, he served under Prince Joseph Poniatowski through out the celebrated campaign of that year, and was made Captain in the regiment of Constantine Czar- torvski. In the campaign of Moscow, 1812, he was promoted to a battlion, and in 1813 and 1814, repeatedly distinguished himself in several very brilliant affairs. At the battle of Arcis sur Aube, where the French were defeated by the Prince of Wirtem- berg, Napoleon, at a critical moment, was indebt ed for his safety to Skrzvnecki, and his battalion of brave Poles, who sheltered him within their col umns, after the young guard had given wa-v before an accidental rencontre with the advanced guard »f Prince Schwartzenberg. But for Skrzvnecki s imelv assistance, theemperor would certainly have >een captured, and the battle of Arcis would have irobably terminated his singular career. For this .good service the Pole was presented with the Cross of the Legion of Honor, and made a mem ber of a military order in Poland, whither he retir ed with the remnant of the “gallant few of ni3 countrymen, whose high toned patriotism and in domitable courage' had kept them so long faithful followers of the fortunes of the emperor. The subject of this notice subsequently command ed a regiment in the brigade of General blumer, and during the last campaign of Napoleon, receiv ed, it is said on one occasion, eighteen wounds from musket balls* He has been preserved, however, roots, and.imbs of petrified trees, broken and thrown j ce pti ona bi e measure, and he is right because the down by some powerful convulsion of nature, and j circumstances in which we are placed are excep- scattered m all directions m fragments.

There was a much greater amelioration found to be upwards of fifteen feet in circumfer- j than the honorable deputy supposed. As to its ence. Some of the trees aie broken oft close toj f ore jor n poliev, the government had ever maintain- ed a worthy and noble attitude with regard to for eign countries. The government was opposed to war, and would check, by eve^y legal means, all propaganda, who alone could bring on hostilities. M. Vover d’Argenson opposed the grant. • . M. Jav spoke against war, hut in favor of the bilk M. Mauguin said the government applies for a conditional grant of 100,000,000fr. Ought this to he raised by taxes, with wliich the country is alrea dy overcharged? Ought it to lie obtained by way of loan, which has already been the ruin of so many States? Can it be managed by applying to both resources at the same time? Should, in fine* the government be authorised to levy taxes by way of ordinances? These, gentlemen, are questions that I shall not take upon myself to answer, but submit them to your consideration. I will only observe, that without doubt, extraordinary events have suc ceeded each other with astonishing rapidity. May I be permitted to say a few words upon our for eign relations? [Murmurs.] I have before re proached the government for the manner in which these have been conducted. In proportion as events have advanced, the intentions of Russia to wards France have become more fully apparent.— You are aware that General Diebisch tore from the breast of a Polish prisoner, the cross of the legion of honor, and that this officer, upon whom Russia places ail her hopes, has declared that he will march to Paris, and there crown liia career as the greatest Captain of his age. [Hear, hear, hear.] The intentions of Austria are equally known from the letter of our Ambassador at Vienna, which was concealed for ten days from the President of the Council. “After the revolution of July,” said the honorable deputy in conclusion, “I expected that France would resume her rank among the na tions, but this has not been the case. She still re mains under the yoke of humilitating treaties, and, in fact, we stand trembling in the face of the whole The communication of Dr. Rose is accompanied | took from us—and with still holding us in the light with several affidavits made for the purpose of of a conquered people. I pass, said the General, to a second question— of a bottle obtained from Swaim, by a man named j the success of heroic Poland—a success which James Hill, for the cure of an ulcer on his leg; that! embarrasses our cabinet and diplomatic Europe.— the said James Hill, on the third day after conimen- j [Long laughter.] Attempts were making to ar- 1 M range the matter at London, but victory, daughter of patriotism, iias thwarted the scheme—the Poles know not our half way system—they spurned at a compromise—at a state of quasi independence—they swore to be a nation; and they shall be. The vast empire of Russia will rather herself crumble un der the blow of Poland, than again manacle her. Heroic example! let it not he lost upon the world. And we—nation of thirty-two millions, after having astonished the world by our exploits in July, we astonish it still more by our want of honor. “I have heard, continued the General, “from this ve ry tribune, our Minister of Foreign Affairs make the most solemn and unequivocal promises. I have heard him declare that France would never con sent to the intervention of any power in the affairs of other nations. I leave you to judge how it has been fulfilled. Gentlemen, it is painful to speak of Italy—you kmow the brilliant reputation of the French arms there, and how the miracles of Napoleon raised us in the eyes of that people! well: the policy of our Ministers has effaced these glorious recollections, and French faith and Punic laith have there be come synonimous.” Violent agitation in the Chamber, Lamarque called on to explain—While endeavoring to do so—Delessert the Vice President called out, “General, in saying that French faith and Punic faith are synonimous, you have insulted Franee—I call you to order.” (Bravos.) The General slightly apologised, said he was not understood, and continued—“these Italians so cruelly abandoned by France, have not indeed dis played the heroism of the Poles; but do not accuse them—it is our fault—we have torn from them glo ry and liberty together.” (Murmurs.) But, said the General, if our Ministers are deter mined at all hazards to avoid war—to adhere to the treaties of 1815, to abandon Italy to the Aus trians, Luxembourg to the Confederation, and to grant only applause or tears to the Poles—then why demand so many sacrifices—so many taxes— why buy up muskets at so high a price from abroad —why send beyond the Rhine for horses—why press the arming and training of our new troops? [Murmurs.] Why all this since we are supplica ting the foreign powers to leave us in peace?— (Loud cries in the centre.) Would it not be bet ter, said the General, to change our front, and pro claim .that we adhere to the Holy Alliance and par take its principles? Then friends will rise, and all will he content hut a few factions, who with abash ed front and despairing hearts will murmur “all i* saved except honor.” “ Soult demanded the floor, and with evident emo tion, violent gestures, and in his energetic military I am astonished, I am griev- with still guarding the cities and departments she I peace. But France shall not be taken by surprise; her government will give her due warning. And From Galignani’s Messenger of April 14. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. Sitting of April 12. The order of the day was the hill for granting an eventual credit of 100,000,000 francs ; upon which, M. Salverte said, it presented a novelty to tally without precedent in the constitutional system of the country. It had the effect of authorising the government, without any further controul, to lay upon the people extraordinary taxes to the amount ol 100,000,000. Could the chamber take upon it self a responsibility so great? Before any measure of finance was adopted, the actual wants of the go vernment ought to be ascertained, and the taxes to be levied, maturely considered. “Suppose,” continued M. Salverte, “that a whole budget was voted in the same manner (and the supposition may fairly lie put, since if you can with propriety x’ote 100,000,0001’., you may, in like manner, vote 500,000,0001’. or even a millard,) suppose, I say, that a whole budget was to he voted, what might become ol’every man’s private fortune, should the government abuse the power with which it would thus be invested? Surely you will not give an ex ample so dangerous. Here the honorable deputy entered into a dis cussion whether the government could really en tertain any serious alarms with respect to the par ties of the Carlists, the Bonapartists, and Republi cans. He could find no cause for fear. The min istry had at the moment received a proof of confi dence sufficient to allay every apprehension. He therefore declared his intention to vote against the bill as it then stood, but i any further amendment were admitted which would bring it within consti tutional hounds, it should have his support. The Minister of Commerce replied to M. Sal verte, and repelled the accusations brought against ministers, by enumerating the laws that the cham ber had pass ed during the session. “M. Salverte,” , w added he, “considers the bill proposed as an ex- way, thus broke out only incrustation, and whether the mineralizing matter is silicious, calcarious or argillacious.’ JY. Y. Eve. Post. New Analysis of Sxvaim’s Panacea. We have waited for some time to hear of a den ial or explanation of the subjoined statement, on the part of the proprietor of the Panacea—but his only reply seems to be an old story, purporting to he from New-York papers, about the wonderful powers of his nostrum. This rigmarole is of a piece with his annual puff, signed Cotton Planter, in which cases are given to show the wonderful powers of his vermifuge; but in none ol wliich ca ses were worms shown to be present. This is a matter of little consequence we suppose to those who delight to swallow all these quack compounds, without regard to their effects. When laboring under torturing disease, or in the agonies ol death, from this insane credulity, it must he sucli a great consolation for a person to say. “I thought the medicine would be of sendee to me, I saw so much about it in the newspapers.” Wonderful credulity! people will peril their lives on less evidence than they would require before they purchased a blank et or a pair of stockings. The statement here giv en, is from the American Journal of Medical Sci ence—among the xlistinguished colaborators to which, are those professors who, in a moment of criminal good nature, and in oblivion of medical lo gic and medical 'ethics, gave certificates to Swaim. Their counter testimony has been published more than once in our Journal. Wdth what propriety can they still allow their names to be introduced in the Panacea advertisements, as encouagers of the use of this nostrum, is, we must confess, a mystery to us. It would be but a slight atonement to their medical brethren, for them to insist on the cessa tion, at once, of a proceed ing which is without a parallel in the history of the profession. “New Analysis of Swaims Panacea.—Just as this form was preparing for press, we received from Dr* J. Ro3e..ofth& oity, an awwunt qf an analysis world.” The Minister of Foreign affairs said that the speech which had been just delivered was no more than a repetition of what had been frequently said before during the last six months. He replied to the various objections of M. Mauguin, whose policy he said was coffee-house policy. France had done all in her power to protect her subjects against a monster whom she refused to acknowledge.— [Cheers from the extreme gauche.] France would not make war in the train of any nation. In Bel gium, pillage and murder stalked abroad, at the command of an Association that overruled the go vernment, and openly declared that it would force France into a war, in spite of her; but no, France^ would never be dragged miserably in the train ot such factious blunderers. [Loud cheers from the centre.] M. Mauguin maintained the eoTTtfitneSlS pf the facts he had stated AdjtmrnecL; ed that a general officer of France, whom I much respect, should use language—which is not French —after gaining the applause of the world by his heroism and his political courage—he has astonish ed it by accusing Franee of a want of honor. Such language excites not only my surprise, but my in dignation. He says we are mocked at by Eu rope—has he then forgotten what we have been, what we are, what we shall ever be? Does he then forget what he himself has been—or what he can do? He demands why I procured muskets from a- hroad? It is because at every meeting of this house, an armament was demanded—the alarm of war xvas sounded—when I was called to the Coun cil, 600,000 had been ordered; Treduced it to 200,- 000—it was approved—(aye, ave!) I have put these arms into the hands of our brave national guard, and it will he well if I can supply the rest; as to the price paid for them in England, it is less than it would have been in France. I come to another expression whicli hasjustlv excited the in dignation of the House. What! a frenchman pro- .nounee sucli a blasphemy! What! “all is preserv ed except honor.” Lamarque here rose, and a- gain attempted to explain. The Minister of War continued; and after further debate— * Gen. Lafayette rose, and after a few conciliatory words to the Chamber, went on thus—“I thank the Minister of Foreign Affairs for the positive and un qualified manner in which he has called the tyrant of Portugal a monster; this name had been before given him from this floor, but it is more important coining from the ministry—it augurs the approach ing fall of this miserable devil. I come to the ques tion of our foreign policy: it is said we must re spect a treaty which disposes of Luxembourg; but there was also a treaty uniting Belgium to Holland; what has become of it? There was another treaty securing the Crown of France to the elder brancli of Bourbons—methinks no one of us feels inclined to respect it. The death of Poland was announ ced from this tribune; but, gentlemen, she has had a glorious resurrection, and though one of the pre ceding speakers urges the advantages that would result from preserving Poland to Russia, methinks after the proof we have of the disposition of Russia, France ought not to be very anxious to forward her viejvs. No, gentlemen, Poland is a nation a- part, an independent nation—she has instituted a government and since she has an accredited lega tion in France, the first thing we should do in the spirit of mutuality would be that this legation be re cognised—as we recognise that of Pozzo di Borgo for Prussia-—(applause from the left.) The Gene ral continued at some length to reproach the minis try for their conduct toward Italy. The President of the Council now mounted the tribune, and in a long and able speech defended the course of policy pursued by Government; he insist ed on the probability of continuance of the peace; he rather slipped over the Polish and Italian question, and got rid of the claims of Belgium by abusing the Belgians. They talk to us, said he of Poland, of Italy and Belgium,—Poland enforces the admiration even of its enemies. The events of Italy follow in rapid succession,—she cannot expect any assistance except in the way of negociation; France will fulfil hey duties of Humanity. As to Belgium, why will you, gentlemen of the Chamber, in leaving as you have, the liberties and independence of the country in taithful hands, fear not for the throne you have made. Let your devotion trust in ours—lor either the power shall fall from our hands, or France shall see accomplished the happy but difficult, union of a regular government and extended liberty. The minister came down amidst loud bravoes and was surrounded and congratulated by a crowd of meni bers. On the 14th, the Debate was resumed. An a- mendment or new project of M. de Mosbourg, was objected to by M. Charles Dupin, who called for the previous question on the amendment. A spirited conversational debate ensued in which Mr- Odillon Barrot insisted that the Chamber had no right to delegate the power of laying a tax, or to allow the ministry to fix its amount. He contend ed that it was a disarrangement of the powers of government, and would lead to commotions. ‘Be sides, said he, you are supposing a case of actual necessity, of which the ministry is to be the judge. You do not determine the amount of the tax, to* you establish a maximum.’ N. Barthe. Yes, we might not want more than thirty millions. M. Odillon Barrot.—The Ministry might not levy more than thirty millions, it is true; but we do not know Imt what twenty would be sufficient. Yon restrict yourselves to a minimum, & say to the ex ecutive. ‘You are to he the judge both of the ne cessity and of the amount of the tax; you give them a power of attorney. Nor is this oil. A vote to lay an impost is not simply confined to passing on iyj necessity &, quantity, but also on its nature. It lie- longs to the legislative powers to appreciate itsnaturo and objects. What would you think of a tax in the abstract? It would not be a tax. He contended that the doctrine of the omnipotence ofParliament had no application to a government in which all piowers were defined, and concluded by saying, that to vote for this law would be an abuse of power, and an unhappy termination of the course which the Chamber had to pursue. After some debate, M. Dupin the elder, vindi cated the constitutionality ol the proposed law.— He said the example of England ivas used on any point which suited convenience, and as readih com batted whenever it did not. He asked what was the reason that the proposed law should find oppo nents among two sets of politicians, whose opinions ordinarily conflicted. They agreed in one point— that was in desiring war. "Tlie motive he would not enquire into such, was the fact; and yet neither of them would grant the supplies lor it. " It seemed as if it was absolutely necessary to go to Avar first, and be sure of being engaged in it, to obtain means for carrying it on. “The present ministry, he said, had not disavow ed it succession to that which proceeded, but had declared it would not accept it without the privi lege of examination—(taking an inventory.) It must therefore be prepared to execute the task im posed on it. All should be prepared, those who de sire war in the first instance, and even those desi rous of peace—for I cannot too often repeat it, we do not wish for peace, at every cost; and at the ve ry instant which war should become inevitable, it Avould be engaged in with the same ardor, both *>y those w ho provoked it in advance, and hv those who have thought it tlieir duty to put it off' until its ne cessity w as demonstrated. “ Let it not be supposed that the voice of France will not make itself heard in Europe, or that the language of her ambassadors and diplomacy, speaking in tlie name of a powerful nation, wul not. be listened to. I doubt not tnai Austria, who v. ouid lose more than she w T ouid gain by war, who could not gain by it, will promptly listen to the repreut-n-* tations of our embassador, and will draw her troops from Italy. M. de Tracy opposed tlie law amidst considers* ble interruption, pai ticularly when making allusions to the diSiuri.-aiiCi s jii Italy. The Muiister of Foreign Affairs, after stating that the pure honest and loyal character oi the pre vious speaker, prevented him from ascribing ro his strong expressions, a meaning they were not intend ed to convey, proceeded as follows: “We ate ac cused of having calumniated a neighboring people. No, gentlemen, we know that people to he worthy of all esteem, and they will receive our constant support. But we refuse that support to meddling aspirants avIio struggle to break down the Govern ment of their country, with the view solely of sub stituting anarchy lor the authority of their iUv-.r Just to all, we confound not with such men, the sound, pure and noble part of the Belgic nation. It has been said that France has done nothing lb/ Belgium. I si tall not calculate its services oi its benefits. I appeal to Belgium herself; she will not forget them. [Expressions of assent.] I return to the question. Different speakers have repre sented the law under discussion, as being useless and unconstitutional. They have said the “Mi nistry incessantly opposes tlie foresight of those who consider war as inevitable, and holds out the hope—the certain assurances it has of peace.— W T e have given it a budget ordinaty and ex traordinary—it was embarrassed with* a floating debt; a hundred millions have been recently vot ed to relieve it. The Minister of War has de clared, that 100 millions were wanted to cover the expenses contingent on passing from a state oi' peace to that of war; but these 100 millions ought to be divided by nine for the last nine months of their actual employment, and from this time to the con vocation of a new chamber, the floating debt which we have relieved ought to meet the exigency of circumstances.* Such is pretty much the argument of the op ponents of the law. The speaker who has present ed these objetcions has lost sight both of the poli tical situation of Europe, and the state of Frenqh finances. Franee has shown herself to foreign nations anx ious for the preservation of peace, but at the 6ame- time, for the support of her dignity, and its being guarded from any assault. This wilj continue to be her s t em. But to reap the fruits of it* ahe must be ready for w®*, rwh to nee* «py
