it -- -Pr - vu""*"%i:* _ - P 4111.4, SEPTENBEIi 28. . PRTVAIE I.ETrEit3. ic The Ordonnence for dissolsing the Chamber, se might be expected. has been variously greeted in the Departments. In the West and South, and especially in the towns of Rennes. Pciicticrs, - 11.)urdeaux,Nismes Marseilles, and. Aeignon, the disappointed Ultras have veniea their rage by riotous proceedings, similar to those which have occurred at Toulouse; such is - burning, not only Ordonnance. hot Charter, and car tying again in triumph their former Deputies; but these first ebuliitione of anger have subsided,. and 'Oen way to the hope. atdpnrseit of carrying the new elections; atter heir recurrence is now well guarded - against ; hiss, 'however; by the energy of Government, than by the firmness and vigilance of the respectable ctassii, whiled chiefly compose the National Gaudy and which, when not checked by a bad spirit in Government, become an adequate force for that purpose. Fori it is to be observed, that the acts of violence, of which the South has - sfforded.such frequent instances, 'have been commit. ted safety by the rabble, and the old NoWe:ie, equally ignorant and bigotted, who form a kind of confede racy together; and not by the intermediate and re putable classes of society, who, chiefly enlightened and liberal, have different opinions, and different wishes from those commonly attributed to the people of the South. Thus public opinion at Marseilles, and Benirdeaux, nay, at Toulouse itself, is very 4iffe. tent from wliat it has been represented to be, and the result of the present elections, if properly conducted. will certainly warrant this assertion; the Prefect of the latter place, M. de Remusat, a man of moderate principles, pledges himself, that M. de Villele, de signated lately as Minister of Finance, shall not be re -elec :ed. " Less is to be hoped from the West, where M. de Corbierea, President of the Committee for the Budget, has been nominate" a Candidate by the College of . Arrondissement, of Sr. Malo. In the East, on the contrary, at such towns as Strasburgh, Metz, and 11Dijin, as also at Lyons, the Ordoonanoe in question, .aias greeted with that enthusiasm which is felt at the sudden deliverance from a calamity. In the North, this prude..: measure hag given signal satisfaction, and no symptom whatever of disturbance has appear ed in that quarter. " Ministers, however,- while contending with the Ultras, are also sedulously guarding against another party, the most poweribi of all in number, intellect, and effective force ; !hit which truly constitutes the bulk of the nation. For dill purpose, they are taking the most cautious steps to avoid the election of Gen. de la Fayette, and a few other such leading men, who, in any representatiVe Chamber, would gather around them a numerous party, which, strongly sup ported by public opinion, would not only strenuously oppose the Ultras, but act as a powerful check upon Ministers themselves. The latter have very adroitly put aside M. de Baurienne, nominated a Candidate at Sens, and who, it elected, would have borne a con spicuous part in the intended impeachment of Mini sters, by arraigning M. de Cares, for applying the public monies to the corruption of the Newspapers. I am assuied, that the J , :nrseal des Maker, costs him at the rate of 100,000 livres a year ; and that the deotion of the Journal General, and Anneal eis Paris. to Ministers, is not less expensive. ". I enclose you the Prayer of Expiation, made at Mount Calvary, on the 22d instant, in presence of Monsieur and the Princes : " AMENDE HONORABLE MADE ON MOUNT VALE RIAN, AT THE FOOT OF CALVARY, 1 tiE Silo SEP I'EMBER, 1816. 14 0, Uses Coeur, Saviour and Redeemer of mankind, be hold us pronra.e at the foot of thy cross to make honourable amends to thee for the sacrileges, impietiZts, blasphemies, profs .tations and irreverences of every species, of which deluded Frenchmen have rendered themselves culpable. " Receive, 0 lugs, the humble confession of our crimes. Alas! It is but too true that we have filled up the nsea.ure of. them. If thou, Loan, but not pity on us, nothing remains to es but the terrible expected= of thy judgment. Our Mods have been dyed in Innocent blood, thy cross has been beessa down, thy adorable body trampled underfoot, thy temples have been detpoiletl, thy altars overthrown, the sacrificial vines pro. fatted, thy min i sters massacred, and illtamous ditrutit.ts have been placed on thy altars. " Great Goo, remember no longer our past Iniquities, we have again crucified thee, but thou haw prayed for thy treat. tioaersc will thou except us (torn thy mercy.

Pardon, pardon, Loid, we are at the foot of tby cross— Mere to ILI sled we will le converted. Cart a look of mercy upon France, place it in thy adorable heart, and it will be saved. Pe. netrated then wi h tby goodness, every French Man will repeat in transports of gratitude—' Glory to GOD on high, and peace and good-will on earth to mankind " " PARIS, SEPTEMBER 110. u I will give you a specimen of the meatier in viltich the elections are at present taking place. On the eve of the day on which the College of Aria). dissement of St. Denis were to assemble for the no. =intim of candidates, the President of the College held a private meeting with the Magistrates of the town, to consider of the fit persons to be nominated, and of the fittest means to secure their nothiaation. Both individuals and means were speedily fixed-upon, the former at the suggestion of the President, the latter at that of the Magistrates, and invitations were immediately dispatched to such electors as could be depended upon, to meet at " a very early hour the next morning. Accordingly, each elector thus in vited, was at his post at the stated hoar, and, forming precisely the number utcusary • for the validity of elections, that is, half the total number of electors, #118: °tie, they ptoteeded, after a few preliminary tnriructions, to nominate the candidates wished for by Csocernment ; so that when the other electors • came to the Hall to give in their votes at the usual time, they found, to theft great surprise, that the task was already performed without teed o f l their assistance. By this expedient. the Collitik iherArrondissement of St. Denis Mee sent to ti e f r o loge , of the Depart 'beat the follo*ing Placen t ith he Count d'lsson. our, President of the College i i bl o . de Chabrot, the Prefect of the Stine ; M.

It exhibited last year the Kenn of riot and excesses of an opposite kind, which ended in the assassination of Marshal Brune; 4o that it may appear to have received this mark of Royal favour for having successively given proofs of Jacokstisoe, Ufira-Royedinn, and Cautiudionalim. 6 6 The Ultra-Royalists and Priesthood are rejoicing in the intelligence which arrived the night before last, of the nomination of their patron Roux Laborie, the Member who spoke with so much feeling last year against the sale of the church lands. upon which Mi nisters are known to have designs this year i but should he be returned by the College of the Depart , ment, there is reason to suppose that Ministers would he able to cancel his election upon the plea of non qualification in point of property a From the nominations which have already ap. peered, it seems likely that the Chamber will consist of very heterogeneous materials, out of which Minis ten will find much difficulty in composing a majority. The public were greatly disappointed yesterday, in finding that the little Theatre of Bobeche, on the Boulevard, of late a great favourite, on account of its malicious jests, was shut up by order of the Police. The occasion of this ordeg was the following : Bobeche, in one of his late performances, had intro duced on the cage a man who coniplainsof the want of money. • Put ii to the Lottery.' says Bobeche. 6 But what numbrr shall I take r replies the other.

'The ceremony of the abjuration is fixed for the fist of November. STOCKHOLM, SEPTEMBER IS. Since the beginning of September we have plea sant cheerful weather, and. it is therefore to be ex , pected that the harvest will be got in well. There was published at Leghorn, in July last, an Ordonnance of the Tuscan Government, which con : tains, among other regulations, ••• that to promote the sale of the iron manufactured there, the-importa tion of foreign iron, and certain articles trianufac tured from it, as cast iron, nails, spades, ice. was prohibited. Articles that cannot be .manufactured there, however, such as iron plates, &c. are not in. eluded. Any of these foreign articles, which may have already been imported, are to be put into a Government magazin% upon paying a duty of one line per 1000 lb. and must be re-exported within a certain time." This Ordonnance has excited gene. ral attention, because only the smallest part of the iron imported was used in January, but went to Si city, the Levant, Sec. Most of the foreign Consuls residing at Leghorn intend to make an application on this subject to the Grand Duke of Tuscany, because the free trade ii hindered by these regul aims, and extraordinary new duties are occasioned by them. HAMISURGH, SEPTEMBER 23. Prince Blucher left Hambiugh on the 22d, to re turn to Berlin. His stay here has been a continued general holiday, which has been kept by the inhabi tants of every class with the most cordial joy. The night before his departure, some of the principal d-, tizene resolved to give him a grand serenade before 'his hotel at midnight, by which - he was most agree ably surprized, and expressed his thanks with a do. gree of emotion, and with expressions of affection and regard that made a profound impression on all who heard them, and was returned by a universal burst of acclamation. The venerable hero was so deeply moved, that he could not for some time col. legit himself sufficiently to speak ; 4, It is time," said he at last, " for me to retire ; otherwise I shall be quite- overcome." GOD be with the noble Panto! All onr hearts follow him, his memory will be ever sacred among us ! BRAiIDENBURGH, SEP TEMBER 17. A remarkable degree of liberality is now shewn by Prussia (which had formerly so mach injustice and ill-usage to bear from France, and which in its spi rited and victorious struggle was not guisled by re venge but moderation) towards the French exiles, who are forced to leave their country in consequence of the 27th Article of the law of the 12th of January of this year, and partly as furious demagogues, partly as tools of the Ex-Emperor, exchanging their important parts for the pilgrim's staff, and who are so humbled as to be forced to seek protection and suc scour among their enemies, among these whom they have unjustly persecuted. Thus the avenging Ni. misis performs her clfice ; it it the will of his Ma jesty, our high-minded King, that all these persons in the second class of the Royal Ordonnance .of Louis XVIII, of thy 24th of July, 1815, and all these not therein named, who, by oe:addition to the A4tOtlikAmnesty, are placed (*Ale '44sne footing , 0111 h tbeas, shall be allowed an abtlimi in the Pius -Irian &nuts, when they ask it, and ate provided with Fieneh • passports, or with pasiPOrts fkom the Pm; siait Minister at Paris.

The system of Excludes begun by BONAPARTE if still prosecuted by several, if not all, of the Ccnti newel States. In the Belgian dominions a string of queries respecting commerce has been circulated by the Govertiment, to which the Merchants and Manu facturers are to attach answers, with their proposals for remedying the existing evils, ana for reviving trade and commerce. This is quite in the stile of our own Board of Agriculture, and we may expect. at least as strange a farrago of nonsense, contradictions and igno rance, respecting commerce front these investigators, as the Board has collected respecting AgriCulture. And here we cannot help noticing some allusions to the harvest which now begin to appear in certain My:papers. Last year our miseries were all attri buted to the abundant crop, which overstocked the sarid : this year we are told that the corn proves to be so pasty and cold as to kw we Arice in the market, and that it must be kiln-dried to fit it for use !

A Citizen of Brussels has been condemned to 12 mouths imprisonment for singing a song in favoltr of BONAPARTE. The public are at present amused in the Nether lands by a contest between M. MUNCHRN, Professor of Philosophy in Luxemburgh, and the Roman Ca tholic Bishop of Mem The latter accuses the Pro fessor of teaching heresy to his pupils by making them maintain a thesis, one proposition of which is : “ The actions of men only, and not their opinions, can disturb public or private happiness"—another, that •' money, being merchandize, usury cannot in itself be criminal, though legislators may make it so"—another denies the minim:kid origin of sovereignty. The Bishop is in a great rage., BRUSSELS, The Duke of Wellington, who had been to the Prussimn head quarters at Sedan, has left that city to go and review the Russian corps, under the com mand of General Count Woronzow. The review of the English, Hanoverian, Saxon, and Danish troops, which form the major part of the right wing of the Army of Occupation, terminates the general inspec dna made by his Grace. It is stated that the Duke Of Wellington, with a brilliant and numerous Staff, will come to Brussels at the end of October. FRANKFORT, SEPTEMBER 24.

The first Dragoman, at Constantinople, died sud den& on the 10th of July : many persons think he was poisoned. He has been succeeded by Mr. Floriano. GHENT, OCTOBER 1. Our Deputies of the Snood Chamber of the states :General are returned. The law on the Customs has been adopted after a discussion, in which. Messrs. Van Aken and Pycke defended with great ability the interest of our Manufactures: Justice is in general done to the new laws in the Customs and to the prin: eiples which the Monarch has cconsecrated, which give the hope of such amendments as may be found ne- cessary. The adoption of this law offers a remark able singularity and an apparent contradiction, which reflection will explain. All the Deputies of the Southern Provinces without exception, have voted for the law; though. they shewed the inconveniences attending some of the applications. The Deputies of the Northern Provinces in general voted against it, and many desired their negative votes to be in serted in the Journals. The Dutch pfaised the ancient Legislation of 1725: the Belgic Deputies sanctioned the new Legislation, as establishing a good system, and principles wisely adapted to the wants of the kingdom. The good ness of the system has caused some arrangements to pass, which are fatal to important interests.
