EUROPE.

FRANCE.-The Paris journals of the 17th January contain an account of the proceedings of the Chamber of Deputies for Tuesday, the day on which the minister laid before the chamber the financial accounts for the year. The estimated resources amount, according to the accounts, to 888,021,745 francs; the expenditure to 882,327,374-leaving a surplus of income amounting to 95,684,371 francs.

An atrocious attempt was made, on the 27th January, to destroy the King and other members of the Royal Family, by blowing up that part of the palace in which their apartments were situated. This project, however, happily failed. The explosion indeed took place, and had the effect of shattering some of the windows in the palace; but neither the king nor any other person were injured. The circumstance was communicated to the Chamber of Deputies on Monday the 29th, by the keeper of the seals, and was received with shouts of" Live the King!-Live the Bourbons!" The journals farther state, that the same evening there was another explosion at the place Lescot, near the Louvre, and that the preceding Thursday at 10 P. M. at the moment when the carriage of his Royal Highness the Duke d'Angouleme, in which he was returning from Compeigne, had turned out of the Rue de Richelieu, and was entering that of St Honore, a petard exploded at a small distance from his Royal Highness's carriage. A person named Neveu was apprehended, charged with the perpetration of these outrages; and committed suicide, by cutting his throat, while they were conducting him to prison.

NAPLES. A Hamburgh paper, of the 28th December, contains the following declaration, addressed to the different governments of Europe, by the Allied Sovereigns at Troppau, relatively to the affairs at Naples. It was delivered to the Senate at Hamburgh by the Austrian resident Minister, Baron Hagel. It will be seen from our summary of the proceedings in Parliament, in a subsequent page, that the British government disavow the principles contained in this declaration; and a Hamburgh paper, of a more recent date, asserts that the document in many points is incorrectly printed, and that it was never intended to be laid before the public :

"The overthrow of the order of things in Spain, Portugal, and Naples, has necessarily excited the cares and the uneasiness of the powers who combated the revolution,

and convinced them of the necessity of putting a check on the new calamities with which Europe is threatened. The same principles which united the great powers of the continent to deliver the world from the military depotism of an individual issuing from the revolution, ought to set against the revolutionary power which had just developed itself.

"The Sovereigns assembled at Troppau with this intention venture to hope that they shall attain this object. They will take for their guides, in this great enterprise, the treaties which restored peace to Europe, and have united its nations together.

"Without doubt the powers have the right to take in common general measures of precaution against those States, whose reforms, engendered by rebellion, is openly opposed to legitimate governments, as example has already demonstrated, and especially when this spirit of rebellion is propagated in the neighbouring States, by secret agents. In consequence, the monarchs assembled at Troppau have concerted together the measures required by circumstances, and have communicated to the courts of London and Paris their intention of attaining the end desired, either by mediation or by force. With this view they have invited the King of the Two Sicilies to repair to Laybach, to appear there as conciliator between his misguided people, and the States whose tranquillity is endangered by this state of things; and as they have resolved not to recognize any authority established by the seditious, it is only with the king that they can confer.

"As the system to be followed has no other foundation than treaties already existing, they have no doubt of the assent of the courts of Paris and London. The only object of this system is to consolidate the alliance between the Sovereigns; it has no view to conquest, or to violations of the independence of other powers. Voluntary ameliorations in the government will not be impeded. They desire only to maintain tranquillity, and protect Europe from the scourge of new revolutions, and to prevent them as far as possible."

ASIA.

By accounts from Bombay, to the end of August, it appears that his Excellency Governor Elphinstone had been obliged, in order to stop the depredations committed on British property by the pirates in the Arabian Gulf, to dispatch a squadron for the purpose.
