FRANCE. Paris, Jan. 27. Our last accounts from Blaye state that the Duchess de Lcrri, who had been for some time seri ously indisposed, was dangerously ill. Her illness is attributed by every body here to a cause which shall be nameless, and her danger to the unskilfulness of a surgeon who has attended her. Gen. Lafayette, in an able speech on the election law of France, which he de livered in the Chamber of Deputies on the 15th of January last, made this re markable observation: "I shall not speak of the Government of the United States, although I am one of those who rmv it the just tribute of calling it the pattern Government.

BELGIUM. , The London Standard of the 21st Jan. contains a statement that the German Diet has refused to permit the annexa tion of the Duchy of Luxemburg to Bel gium. Austria and Prussia govern -the Diet; therefore, that must be the opinion of those two powers. The above paper very significantly states that we shall have the King 0f Hanover uniting with the confederation to repel the hostilities of England. The Belgian question is therefore far from being settled; on the contrary, it appears surrounded with nevv and increasing difficulties. PORTUGAL. No military movement of consequence at Oporto.

Resolved, That whilst this Convention as an offering to the peace and harmony of this Union, in a just regard to the in terposition ot tlui highly patriotic com monwealth of Virginia, and with a prope deference to the united vote of the wholi Suuthem States in favor of the recent nr commodation of the tarifT approved by ttti oi congress ot the 2.1 March, 1833, the basis of the repeal of her OrdinjinrJ of the 24th of November, 1832 Yet this Convention owes it to itself, to the people ihey represent, and the posterity of that people, to declare that they do not, by rea son of said repeal acquiesce in the prin ciple of the substantive power existing on the part of Congress to protect domestic manufactures: and hence, on the final ad justment, in 1842, of the reductions, un der the act of the 2d March, 1033, or at any previous period, should odious dis criminations be instituted for the purpose of continuing in force the protective prin ciple, South Carolina will feel herself free to resist such a violation of what she conceives to be the good faith of the act of the 2d March, 1833, by the interposi tion of her sovereignty, or in any other mode she may deem proper. Rcsohed, That it is the opinion of this Convention, that the military prepara tions heretofore begun by the State should be continued, and that effectual measures should be adopted and completed for put ting the State in a firm attitude of defence. AN ORDINANCE. Whereas, the Congress of the United States, by an act recently passed, has provided for such a reduction and modi fication of the duties upon foreign im ports, as will ultimately reduce them to the revenue standard and provides that no more revenue shall be raised than may be necessary to defray the .economical expences of the Government: It is therefore, ordained and declared, Flint the Ordinance adopted by this Con vention on the 24th dav of November ast, entitled "An Ordinance to nullify 1 M . I t 1 ' certain acts ot the Oongress ot the uni ted States, purporting io be laws laying duties on the importation of foreign com modities, and all acts passed by the Ge neral Assembly of this State in pursuance thereof, be henceforth deemed and held to have no force or effect: Provided hat the act entitled "An act further to liter and amend the militia laws of this State," passed by the General Assembly of this State on the 20th day of Decem ber, 18o2, shall remain in force until it -hall be repealed or modified by the Legislature. Done at Columbia, the 15th day of march, in the year of our Lord 1833, and in the 57th year of the sovereignty and independence of the United States of America. Robert Y. Hayne, Delegate from the Parishes of St. Philips and St. xMi chaels, President of the Convention. Isaac V. Hayne, Clerk. A"V nifnivtxrp To Nullify an Act of the Congress of the .'(iiii;u emics, uimucu "III ACl IUT- ther to provide for the collection of du ties on imports," commonly called the Force Bill.

We do further ordain and declare, that the allegiance of the citizens of this State, while they continue such, is due to this State; and that obedience only, and not allegiance, is due by them to any oth er power or authority, to whom a control over them has been or may be delegated by the Sinte: and the General Assembly of the said State is hereby empowered, from time to time, when they may deem it proper, to provide for the administra non to the citizens and officers of the State, or such of the said officers as they may think fit, of suitable oaths' lions, binding them to the observance of .uo uneg.ance, and abjuring all other allegiance, and to provide for the proncr punishment of such violation. Done and signed as above. Of the Committee on the Mediation of T71 J 1 he Committee to whom was referred the Resolutions of the General Assem bly of Virginia, and the comniunka. lion of Mr. Leigh to the Governor of the State of South Curolina, beg leave to Report: - That although circumstances have su pervened since the institution of this com mission oh the part of the highly respec ted Commonwealth from which it pro ceeds, which have enabled this Conven tion to accomplish the object which her Assembly so anxiously and patriotically had in view, we are nevertheless sensible of the friendly dispositions and sympathy which induced the interposition of heV good offices at a moment when South Carolina, denounced by the Executive of the Federal Government, and threatened with an extremity of its vengeance, stood absolutely alone in the contest she was waging forthe rights of the States and the constitutional liberties of the country. To this interference and these friend ly dispositions, South Carolina desires to respond to a sister, sovereign, and inde pendent Commonwealth, in a tone of can dor, confidence and affection. Appreci ating thus sensibly, both the motives and objects which influenced the Genercl Assembly of Virginia, to despatch, at a moment so interesting her Commissioner to this State, whose mission, even if the recent modification of the tariff had not been adopted, would have challenged her high respect and profound consideration, she cannot permit the occasion thus of fered to pass without making a few dec larations which she regards as due to her self and the public liberty of the country. In the first place, South Carolina de sires to stand acquitted, and believes on a calm and dispassionate reflection by her co-Slates, she must stand acquitted, of the charge of having acted with any un due precipitation in the controversy hith erto pending with the General Govern ment. For ten years, she petitioned, protested, and remonstrated against that system of unjust and unconstitutional le gislation which had equally received the reprobation of Virginia before she resort ed to her veto to forbid its enforcement within her limits. In exercising this fac ulty of her sovereignty, she believed she rested on those doctrines which in 1798 and 1799 had conferred on Virginia and ner distinguished statesmen, a renown so unfading. She now refers to this subject in no invidious spirit of controversy, but when Virginia asserted in those memora ble Resolutions of her General Assem bly, "that she viewed the powers of the Federal Government as resulting from the compact to which the Stales are par ties as limited by the plain sense and in tention of the instrument constituting that compact, as no further valid than they are authorized by the grants cnumc rated in that compact, and that in case of a deliberate, palpable and dangerous exercise of other powers, hot granted by the said compact, the States who are par ties thereto, have the right, and are in du ty bound to interpose for arresting the progress of the evil, and for maintaining within their respective limits the authori ties, rights and liberties appertaining to them," we conceived she had done noth ing more or less than announce the rem edy which South Carolina has resorted to, through her Stale interposition. It is moreover asserted in the Report explan atory of those resolutions', that this right is a constitutional, and not a revolutiona ry right, and by the whole context of the powerful argument embraced in that Re port, the right itself stands forth as sepa rate and independent of the ordinary rem edies of procuring a redress for the ordi nary abuses of the federative government. When therefore the General Assembly of Virginia, in the recent resolutions, borne by her Commissioner, which your committee are now considering, stale "that she does not regard the Resolutions of 1798 and J99 as sanctioning the pro ceedings of South Carolina, as indicated in the Ordinance of her Convention," with all proper'deference, South Carolina must nevertheless adhere with an honest and abiding confidence to her own con struction. It is within the providence df vjuu uiai great truths should be indepen dent of the human agents that promul gate them. Once announced, they be come the subjecs and property of reason, to all men and in all time to come. Nor
