Messrs. Clifford, Repelser, Wezel, and Paul Maibe, to receive anicondUct the said Di rector-General into the Assembly. The Director. General,• kV.

He said ? that it was his M4jesty's wish to conciliate the wants of commerce and of 'intern:4l manulactures, for which purpose he had chosen a middle course, as our fore fathers had done in the Ordinance f thenem relating to convoys and licenses; that f , :r u e prow. lion of internal nianulactores the plan of l.sw fixed a proper import Liuty ; that all ohj:: , :ts of inlet in dustry should be free, while duties should be imposed on the introduction of toteign - goods in proportion to the value at which the prolhtee of our own manufac tures could be so;d ; and that tie tran..:it &tie. should be plated tl! 1 a moderate tooting, tto.t corn mace might not suff , r; I.e concluded by reading the plan of law and the tariff of duties. 66 The President then requested the Director Ge neral to assure his Majesty that the Chamber %%void take the plan into their serious consideration." LETTER ADDRESSED TO HIS MAJESTY THE KING OF THE NETHERLANDS BY THE mimes OF BELGIUM, ON 0C • CASION OF THE BRIEF OF MIS HOLINESS TO THE BISHOP OF GHENT. " Brussels, September 4. , Staz—We hasten to lay before y our Majesty a' Brief of his Holiness relative to the affair of the Ca tholic Church of your Kingdom. The Sovereign' Pontiff acquaints us in it with the steps be has already taken to request your Majesty to be pleased to do all that depends on you, in order to reconcile the duties of your Catholic subjects towards yLiar august person with those which their conscience prescribes them re lative to the oath required by the fundamental Law. 64 His Holiness calls on us, and exhorts us to unite with him, to join our prayers, our lively and respect ful-entreat:es to those which he had made to you, that your Majesty, who undoubtedly place your glory in being the bere•faccor and the father of each of your Subjezts, may not leave those. who pi es! the Catho lic Religion, and who are faithful to the duties which it imposes en them in a situation which removes them entirety from the confiience of their Sovereign, and necessarily makes them strangers to the defence of the peat interests of sour kingdor.'. The wishes of the Head of the Catholic Church and ours on this head are the more worthy, Sire, of fix , ng the attention of your M,jeity, as the greatest number of your subjects are Catholics, as you will certainly find no more loyal and zealous defenders — more devoted to the service of their Prince and their Country—than those who remain inviolably attached to the principles of their religion; and lastly, because she applications made by the Sovereign Pontiff it, your Majesty, and his offer of sending a Legate, have for their object the maintenance of public tran quality, to which he attaches, as well as ourselves, the highest value. " Alas! we have been doubtless represented to your Majesty as having sought to trouble the Iran. quillity of the State, by decisions which we have been obliged to publish, to direct the consciences of our flocks; we have been deeply afflicted by this accuse. tion. Till this moment we have had no means to convince you, Sire, that the most sacred, the most imperious duty, had dictated our proceedings in this respect; but now that the Sovereign Pontiff, after having examined, with the greatest care, all the mo tives, himself commence the zeal with which we have defended the rights of Goo and his Church, we trust that your Majesty will deign to see in this declarasion of the Head of the Church the justification of our conduct, and the purity ot. our intentions, which so many efforts have been made to reader suspected to our august Sovereign. ,‘ The desire which we have to prove to your Ma jesty that we have nothing so much at heart as to maintain, by every metros in our power, peace, una nimity, and concord, in this part of your kingdom, makes us agree, with real joy, to the means proposed by tie Sovereign Pontiff to attain this end, so con formable in every respect to the sentiments which must especially animate and characterize the Ministers of the Catholic Religion. r• it is under the auspices, end acccrding to the intentions of our venerable Head, that we address out selves to your Majesty, to entreat you to be pleased to adopt the measures of conciliation which he has Itireself proposed to you, Sire, and to which we en - 'hely and heartily agree. We expect the orders which your Majesty shall be. pleased to give us, to concur in the most effica cious manner in the speedy accomplishment of the wishes of his Holiness. s. We are, with the most profound respect, " Sire, your Majesty's most obedient, 44 Most faithful subjects, Prince MAURICE of BROGLIO, Bishop of Ghent. " FRANCOIS JOs. BARON ItEiitN, Bit.hop of Tourney. " CH. FR. JOS. PISOU de Is OAUDE, balm* of Namur." SWITZERLAND, AUGUST 27. The Federal Directory, conformable to the De cree of the Diet upon the commercial 'elation' with France, has delivered to the Minister of that Power a detailed Memorial epee the obstacles which the Swiss manufactures expersence, and have at the same time applied to the King himself, with the confidence which his virtue inspires.. • 11EIDERBERG, AUGUST t 2. An event remarkable in its kind happened here on the 20th:—Charles Witte, (whose name is already, well known,) who in his thirteenth year was Doctor of Philosophy, and in his fourteenth Member of the Literary Society of the Witterau, attained, after two years' study of jurisprudence, the degree of Doctor of Laws. He went through the first and most rigid ccarriination, mama hog wade, and i he went through OP public disputatiot so brilliantly, that all the-Aca. demy joined when PrOfessor Zlcharia created him Doctor, is i speech bietly bonoutabic for );19th. (Signed) rit&Cti PAPER& PARISb SEPTEMBER S. • The °Meets of the bus Legion of the Natioad Guard gave yesterday a'most brilliant fete at the Summer Vauxhall , Bouleva rd St. Martin's. The table was laid with 900 covers. The Duke of Reggio, a nd the Comte Rochechouart, assisted at the fete, which was terminated by an elegant ball. The inhabitants of the environs of Paris have pro fited by this day's and yesterday's tolerable weather, to get in a part of the cOrn. In several places it was made up in sheaves and stacked. - • L'Arethuse frigate has arrived at Brest from Mar tinique, after a passage of 32 days. She left that fine colony in a most satisfactory state, and brings intel ligence that Guadeloupe has been given up to his Majesty. The official part of the Motrientr of September 6th, contains the Royal Ordinance for depriving the Sieur Michaud of his Brevet, constituting him a Printer to his Majesty ; and, under the head of " Ministry of Justice," die promulgation of various processes and decisions of certain Departmental Courts of Justice. 13y an Ordonnance of the 21th of August last, the Barons de Capelle, Degerande, Dudon, and M. Fo. I restier, Councillors of State, have been appointed C s mimissioners, in concert.with Commissioners of the Allied Courts, to examine the amount of payments to be made under the Convention of the 20sit No vember, from the Ist December, 181.5, to the lit of June last, the amount of payments actually made during the same space of time ; and to make out the , discharge of France from the Foreign Powers for the first six months of the execution of the Con ve*tion. ' Letters from Marseilles, dated the 29th ult. inform ue, that the Court of Turin is continuing its prepara tions agaiost the Barbary Powers. Levies for that, destination are making in Piedmont. A great num ber of small craft is also preparing at Naples. Ar rangements for defence are making on the Spanish coast, in the neighbourhood of Barcelona. In general the inhabitants of the shores of the Mediterranean await with impatience the moment when thiy are to have vengeance for the constant and too long calor ed insults of the banditti. Their daily iniquities are indeed sufficient to excite the indignation of all na tions. There have lately been discovered on the coast of the Roman States, decapitated bodies, be lieved to be the remains of unfortunate persons who were on baud vessels that have been pillaged and abandoned at sea by the pirates. These barbarians recently made a descent on the Isle of Elba, between Porto-Ferrajo and Porto-Longone, and carried off 28 persons, whom they redurl to slavery. Notwithstanding the vengeance which is about to strike them. they do not appear intimidated. At Algiers measures of defence form the only occupa tion ; every kind of trade is suspended ; the exporta tion of provisions is prohibited under the most severe penalties : the town has a garrison of 13,000 men, which number could be easily augmented, by levies from the interior of the country, where fortresses are established. The Algerines do not appear to enter tain much dread of the menacies of England. They shrew, however, respect for the Consul of that Poorer. to whom they leave the liberty of inn • • country house on the sea coast, and of visiting the ships in the roads_ SEPTEMBER 7.—Yesterday, on going to mass, his Majesty received a deputation of merchants, who had the honour to present to him a memorial on the pro hibition of muslin:, and on the evils resulting to trade in general from article 59 of the law of the '2Bth of April, 1816. Proceedings are commenced at Toulouse against the assassins of General Ramel. A Journal, which has repeated in part the intelli gence which we gave that the affairs of the Church of France negociated at Rome by Count Blacas are happily terminated, adds, that according to report the old Bishoprics are to be restored, and that two Cardinals, one with the title of Legate, are to be sent to Paris. Their Eminencies will be furnished with full powers to put the last hand to this great work, so important for the re-establishmeat of religion and the prosperity of the State. It is reported this evening, that the Chambers are dissolved that the Electoral Colleges are convoked for the 25th of the present month ; that she number of Deputies is to be only 264 ; and that the Session will open oa the 20th of October. This news merits confirmation. FRANKFORT, ATJOUST 31. It is confirmed that the new Constitution for the Kingdom of Hanover, arranged by Count Munster, who is at present at London with the Prince. Regent, is ready, and that it will be submitted to the States, which will assemble en the SI October. A Commission is sitting at Mentz, composed of an equal number of Austrian and Prussian Officers of similar rank, to inquire respecting the tumult there on the 11th of August, and make reports to the two Governments. The new obstacles which have delayed the opening of the Germanic Diet, do not seem to be yet remov ed, affairs being still in the same state. • Several pleasure camps are, it is said, to be formed in Bohemia alter the harvest. SEPTEMBER I.—The report of a marriage between the Emperor of Austria and the Princess Theresa Caroline of Saze Meinetlngen, is stated with great confidence. It is said the nuptial ceremony will take place in the ensuing autumn. VENICE, AUGUST 17. • - - It has already bean stated that the fortresses of Kuin, Trau, and other points of the Illyrian frontier, are to be put in a state of defence ; and it appears that the Archduke Reynier is preparing to visit those' places, and to make a military tour in Illyria. The garrisons of Kuin and Trau are to be conipleted to 6000 men each. • We expect 4010 men, which are to be embarked fertile Calabria, and the kingdom of Naples. • Some public Papers have announced that Verona would be in future the seat of t h e Government of the kingdom a L om b ar dy and Venice. There is no foundation whatever for this assertion, no such idea having been entertained. `There is a. port of the citation of a n ew reli g ions and military Order, destined to snake war upon the lnktiell, which wilt ha*: nothing in total:gbh with I . ltie order of Malta. ZURICH, AUGUST 27. MsJame de Krudener has ant returned to Swit ter land, as repectech but resides in a small village of the Grand Duchy of Baden, on the frontiers of toe Can ton of Basle, where she receives • many visits ; but according to the orders intimated to her, she no longer bolds public assemblies. - VIENNA, AUGUST 24. According to a notice published by the Provisional Directors of the National Bank, there will be burnt to-day, for the third time, upon the Glacis, in pre sence of the competent Authorities, a sum of ten mil lions in Bank notes. PRIVATE LETTERS. " PARIS, SEPTIMISTIt S. " The animosity of the French against the English becomes every day more violent, aod has, ss iihin the last few days, produced some quarrels ; even the soldiers, who were hitherto restrained by the fear of punishment, now insult an Englishman as publicly as if they were still the favoured class, and in terms too gross to be repeated. It is not only the lows:- order of the Parisians who insult the English, hut even the young men. most of whom have been OIE• rers, who lounge about the coffee houses and public gardens. An Englishman can scarcely appear in public without being assailed as he passes by the grossest ribaldry. Many persons have left Paris in consequence of the frequency of outrages nf this de scription. An Englishman is scarcely safe in a French crowd when it begins to glow dark. The following fact I can.state from my own kpowletlme. The promised ascent of a balloon, to be directed against the wind by means of machinery, attracted a vast crowd to the Champ de Mars; it was about half-past eight when the people began to go away. and the road m Paris was immensely crowded ; at a moment when the pressure was rather greater than before, anti attended with some degree of con fusion, an Englishman, walking with two others, received a violent punch on the back from the end of a cane, and instantly turning round, ask ed who the person was that had attacked him.— No person noticed the question, upon which he ob served, that the man who had used his cane in such a manner, woold, no doubt, use a dagger in the same way, if he had 'Dem provided wall one. Upon this a Frenchman, who, nu doubt, knew the aggressor, looked a little behind him. and cried out—" avant(' your d,ac, f--." A. man, well dressed, and wear ing the decoration of the Legion of Honour, came forward, somewhat reluctantly, avowed the fact, and gave his address, stating himself to be a French Offi cer on 1:.411-pay. A meetiag was sattled for the following morning, and he presen'ed himself on the ground armed with a sword ; the Englishman came provided only with pistolc ; it was with much diffi. culty that the firmer could be persuaded to cbuse one of the pistols ; at length he consented, and at the first fire had a ball pass throup,h his cravat. and was slightly wounded in the neck. He riqused either to stand a second fire cr make any apolrgy,nnd thus the matter ended. I am particularly acquainted with the Gentleman who was concerned in this affair, and from his being extremely desirous that his past in it should remain unknown to his friends, I forbear to - rice his name." " PARIS, SEPTEMBER S. " The complaints which have appeared in the columns of several of our Newspapers ielative to the general incivility of the French towards Englishmen, are certainly not unfounded. But this feeling is easily accounted for, and proves that the people are not so destitute of national spirit as is sometimes laid to their charge. The higher classes view us as the conquerors of their fertile country—the triumphant cause of their humiliation, with the bayonet still in array against them. With very few exceptions, these more elevated and enlightened persons are inacces. sible to foreigners, and bury their profound emotions in impenetrable retirement ; but it may be truly ad vanced, the urbanity of the inferioi description of Parisians is converted into sullen irascibility. This feeling extends even to our artists. I was at the Opera when Oscar Byrne gratuitously offered the tribute of his talents to Madame Gardel. He had little reason to be satisfied with their candour or jus tice. His grace and aplomb were certainly infetiur to his agility k but he was discountenanced and hooted almost bef,ire he could have been seen to be judged. It was the man's country, and not himself, which was condemned. Though I think the error leant on the side of Gallic patriotism, yet I confess I did not ex pect to meet this prejudice from a nation so jealouZ of its amenity and politeness." " PARIII..SMESTIER 6. " I lose not a moment in communicating to you a most important and authentic piece of intelligence, which must materially influence the future state of France, and perhaps of Ettiope. On Wednesday night, at eliven o'clock, his Majesty signed an Ordonnance, dissolving the Chamber of Deputies.— This unexpected measure in favour ot the Constitu tional Ministers, has been solely brought on by the prodigious indiscretion, by the unseasonable jubila tions ot their political antagonists. The King had declared repeatedly that he would not deviate from his original intention of convoking the Chamber on the lst October. These words were the death-blow of the party ; to deprive them even of all hope for the future, the Duc de Richelieu himself, separating his interests tiom theirs, was listening to terms of accommodation. But M. Decaze adroitly retreated, in order to draw his unwary adversaries into the snore. —They fell id it like infants—letters were -inter cepted to various Prefects, in which (for it cannot be dissimulated) obnoxious principles were displayed, tending to shake the social edifice, to alarm the pur chasers of the national domains- An arbitrary list of Ministers seemed almost imposed on the King, in which were the names of De I3onville, Villelr, &c. Laineand Decaze insisted ottothe fatal consequences of the nomination of such statesmen. The result w2s, the Or‘lonnance I have annonneed—it is the com plete downfall of the party, which was already singing the premature song of victory. This Ordonnance convokes she Electoral Colleges for the 21. th of Sep. tember, and the meeting of the Chamber fnr the 4th of November. It deprives the' Prefects of adjoining the ten extra votets to these Colleges, and reduces the number of the Deputies to that limited by the Charter, 260 instead ot 420, its unbent cfmposition: These are the principal features of this important , do cument."
