This forenoon we received the Monitettr and Ga lig- Rania Messenger of Saturday and the Eloile of Sunday by Express; the French Papers of Thursday and Friday having previously been received. They are principally filled with accounts of the death of the KING, and the reception given to various bodies by his successor CHARLES X. Some of their eulogies on the late KING , are excessively extrdvagant, if not even profane. M. de CHATEAUBRIAND, who writes currente calarno, has pub lished a pamphlet on the subject, which, to say the least of it, is in bad taste It lauds the late KING to the skies, and offers the earliest and the strongest incense to his successor. Speaking of CHARLES X. the Es-Minister says," Your eyes resia ith complacency and love on that Prince who preserves in the maturity of age the beauty and elegance of youth." An allusion to Louts XVI. is more censurable, for the Ex-Minister has the impiety to assert, that at his death " there was the same darkness as covered Jerusalem at the Crucifixion." These papers give numerous details of the last mo. ments of the KING, and the state of public feeling. All the bells of the capital were tolled between five and six on Thursday morning, to announce the decease of his Macrame. A great crowd soon assembled about the Palace. At ten o'clock the public were admitted to see his MAJESTY lying in state, by twelve at a time. Upwards of 50,000 persons availed themselves of the permission. When the Ministers waited upon his present Majesty CHARLES X. to receive his orders, the KING said to them—" Ct'ntinue your services—my first moments have been devoted to my eel; afterwards, I shall give myself up entirely to my duties." On Friday, the DAUPHIN, DAUPHINSSS, and Duchess of BERRY, paid their respects to the KING, as did the Ministers, the Corps Diplomatique, the Members of the Court of Cassation. the Staff of the National Guard, a deputation of the Officers of the Hotel 'Loyal des Inva lided, the Chancellor and Peers of France, the Marshals of France, the Municipal Corps of Paris, as well as several other public bodies. The Etoik says, the KING will preside at a Council of Ministers twice a-week. The Mon'teur copies the pamphlet of M. deCnazaAu- BRIAND, prefixing the following introduction We yesterday announced the publication of an article by ViAount de CIIATEAUBRIAND) on the change of reign We now submit to our readers this sort of improvisa tion, in which great historical events are happily found combined with the sever e loss France has sustained, and the consolations-PnovlDENce has reserved for us." The following are extracts : YROSI TILE MONITEUR OF SATURDAY. ST. CLOUD. SEPTEMBER 17. This forenoon before Mass, the Ambassadors and Foreign Ministers paid their respects to the King and Royal Family, on the occasion of the death of his Ma jesty Louis XVIII. and the accession of Charles X. to the Throne of France. His Excellency the Apostolic Nuncio, from his Holi ness, addressed the King in the following terms, in the name of the Diplomatic Body. 44 SIRICIL is in the silence of grief that the Diplo matic Body, the faithful interpreters of their Masters, present themselv . es before your Majesty. Never was a King more beloved, never has a King been more re gretted, nor was there obe more worthy of regret. Great in misfortune, indulgent in prosperity, Louis XVIII. has effected the happiness of his people, and by his en lightened wisdom has gained the confidence and admi ration of Europe. " In this day of affliction and mourning, what brings consolation to our minds is, to see the crown of St. Louis placed on the head of a Prince who is distinguished by his own glories, and by a happy union of every virtue. Yes, She, religion will find in Charles X. a firm support, the Sovereign Pontiff a worthy sun of the church, France a beloved father, and the Sovereigns of Europe the friend and guarantee of peace, and that salutary union which strengthens monarchies, and assures prosperity to the people. " Deign, Sire, to accept the homage and prayers of the Diplomatic Body for the long ation and happi ness of a reign which commences under auspices the most favourable." The King replied--- " NloNsmun LE NUNCIO My heart is too much torn for nte to be able to express the sentiments with which lam filled. I thank you for those which you have expressed in the name of the Diplomatic Body . - I have but one ambition, Gentlemen ; I pray Goy it may be fulfilled, and I hope it will be granted to me ; it is to continue that which my virtuous brother has so well accomplished—that my reign may be but a continua• tion of his, as well for the good of France, as for the peace and union of all Europe. Such is my wish ; it is my prayer to Heaven, and shall be the study of my whole life." The Marshals of France were admitted to pay their respects to the KING. Marshal the Duke of CORNEG LI. AN o spoke their sentiments.. ANSWER OF TIIE KING. gs GENTLIMIEN,.—I shall never forget the services which you have rendeted to the King and Trance ; and on all occasions I shall be happy to give you proofs of my confidence and attachment." The Marshals were so elated, that they cried five ' le Roi. _ _ ST. CLOUD, SEPTEMBER 17. Yesterday the King transacted business with M. de Villele. This forenoon his Majesty received the respects of the Pi inces and Princesses of his family, and the Infant Don Miguel. It is believed that his Majesty will go to Paris next week. The King will not receive company to-morrow. Yesterday the Duke and Duchess of Orleans, Made moiselle d'Orleans, and the Duc de Bourbon, paid their respects to his Majesty. It is said that his Majesty, on taking leave of the Guards who were in attendance on him as Monsieur, said—" I leave you, but it will not be long." It is, in fact, believed that they will be formed into a fifth company of the King's Body Guard ; and it is added, that the Marquis de Riviere will be the Captain of this company. It is announced that the Duc de Polignac, brother of Prince de Polignac, Ambassador in London, is ap pointed to the place of Grand Equerry. PROM GA LIONANI . S MESSENGER, SEPT. 18. AU the public offices were closed on Thursday and yesterday ; the Exchange, we hear, will be reopened on Monday. The following is the official account of the death of Louts XVIIL extracted from the Monsteur of Thursday: go PARIS, Sam 18. " The King died precisely at four o'clock this morning. " Thursday, Sept. 16, 1824. " The First Gentleman of the Chamber, (Signed) " Count de DAMAS. N The first Gentleman of the King's Chamber having announced at the Tuileries the death of his Majesty, the Civil and Military Household of the King proceeded immediately to the Pavillon Marian, to take the orders of his Majesty Charles X. The gardes du corps of the King, and the ordinary Poot Guards of the King, relieved the post of the :aides du corps of Monsieur. 4 4 The King, accompanied by Monseigneur the Dauphin, by the Dauphiness, and Madame the Duchess of Berri, set out for St. Cloud at six o'clock. " The Ent Gentleman of the Ring's Chamber, (Signed) " Count de DAMAS." At a quarter put four o'clock the Chancellor of France and the Ministers Secretaries of State were admitted to the presence of his Majesty; to receive his orders. The King ordered letters to be sent to the Archbishops and %Lops, and to the Courts of the kingdom. The King will receive to-morrow, the 17th, at St. Claud, the homage of the Royal Family, and of the Princes of the Blood. The constituted bodies will be convoked, to offer on the sane day their homage to his Majesty. Messieurs the Peers and Deputies will be admitted individually. The apartment of the late King, in the castle of the Tuileries, will be open to the Public to-day, from ten o'clock in the morning till six at night. The following are extracts from the .111onitettr of Friday, and the Etoile dated Saturday : PARIS, SEPTEMBER 16. To-day, at half-put four in the morning, Baron Lalive, Intro ducer of the Ambassadors, waited upon the Ambassadors, and an nounced to their Excellencies front the King the death of his Mk jesty Louis XVIII. M. de Viviers executed the same commission to the Foreign Ministers. Serrassata 170—The act relative to the decease of his Majesty Louis XVIII. was drawn up yesterday at the Tuileries, by the Chancellor of France, performing, according to the ordonnance of the King, of the 23d of March, 1816, the function of Officer of the Civil Department of the Royal Household. The Chancellor also sealed up the private paper of the late King, by virtue of special orders from his Majesty, and conform ably to the ordonnance of the 25th of April, 1820, which gives to the Chancellor of France, with respect to the Royal Family, the functions exercised by the Justices of Peace with respect to the Frenchmen. Here follows the Are de Doris at length, which states that his late Majesty, the son of Louis, the Dauphin of France, and Maria Josephine of Saxony, his consort, was born at Versailles on the 19th of November, 1775, and had been a widower since 1810, when he lost his Queen Maria Josephine Louisa, of Saxony. The persons present at drawing up the Act, were the Marquis de SimonviUe, the Duke de Duudeauville, and the Marquis do Brezi. The witnesses nominated by the King were the Duke de Uzes and the Duke of Cornegliano ; and the body of the late King was shewn them by the Prince Talleyrand and the Duke d'Autnosit. The Act is signed by all the abovementioned persons. The order fur a general mourning for seven months is annexed. FROM THE ETOILE, SEPTEMBER 18. ST. CLOUD, SEPTEMBER 17. After ten o'clock, the King received his Civil and Military Household : each of the persons belonging to it was named as he passed before his Majesty. The Members of the Chambers of Peers and of the Deputies were presented, and the King addressed to them, with much emo tion, a discourse which made a most profound impression, after which repeated cries were uttered of Five It 1101. The Diplomatic Body was introduced, and the Papal Nuncio made a speech to his Majesty. The Council of State was presented by the Keeper of the Seals. The King then went to Mass, from which he returned at a quar ter past twelve. After Mass the King received the Prefect of the Seine, the Pt!. fact or Police, the Municipal Body, the Military Bodies, the Na. clonal Guard, and the French Academy. The following is the speech of the King to the Peers and the Deputies : " My heart is too deeply affected to allow me to express, the sea- timents which I feel; but I shotald be unworthy of him who has telt me suet great examples, if. yielding 100 Ingdi to . MT VIES I did not preserve fortitude wough to fulfil the duties which ate Im - posed on me. I was a brother, now lam a King ; and this title of itself points out the conduct I ought to observe. " I have promised, as a subject, to maintain the Charter and the Constitution which we owe . to the Sovereign of whottt Heavies has just deprived us. Now that the right of my birth has made the power fall into my bands, I will employ it entirely In convalidating for the happiness of my people the gteat act which I have promised to maintain. hiy confidence in my subjects is entire, and lam fully certain that I shall find in them the same sentiments with re spect to me. " I must add, Gentlemen, that conformably to the institutions of the King whom we deplore, I shall convoke the Chambers at the end of December. The speech addressed to theKingbytheAcademy, complimenting him on his accession, expresses hs confidence in the protection of his Majesty, who has always shewn himself a patron of French litera ture.—The King's reply was as follows :- 1 " Gentlemen,—l have lost an affectionate brother—France a wise and enlightened monarch—sciences and literature a protector, who has cultivated them from his most tender years, and practised them with particular care. I shall imitate them, not with the same talent, but with the same zeal : I answer for it, and I depend on the Academy to second me." . Preparations ate making for embalming the King's body. This operation will take two days: after this the body of his Majesty will lie in state in the saloon of the throne. MADRID, SEPTEMBER 7. His Excellency the Minister of Austria was arrested on the night of the 22d, by a Spanisl) sentinel, under the pretext that he had not replied to the qui vive. The Ambassador complained to the Secretary of State. The King upon receiving the account, has ordered that the soldier, a royalist volunteer, who departed so far from his respect, should be severely reprimanded. Brussels Papers to the 19th inst. and Dutch Journals to the 17th, reached us this morning; the former state that theOttornan Government has not taken any steps to fulffi its promises relative to Wallachia. This assertion is quite at variance with an article in the liettsburgh Currespcntdent of the 14th inst. which states, that in consequence of the evacuation of Wallachia and Moldavia by the PORT; and the measures adopted respecting the trade of the Bos phorus, the difficulties which opposed the renewal of diplomatic relations with Turkey are removed, an Ambassador has been ap. pointed. Thus it would seem that our Ambassador, Lord &luso- MIN has at length concluded his tedious and difficult negotiation successfully. The following are extracts : ST. PETERSBURGH, SEPTEMBER 1. On the 27th August his Majesty sent the following Ukase to the Office of Foreign Affairs : " Considering that the Ottoman Porte, by the evacuation of Wallachia and Moldavia, by the measures adopted respecting the trade and navigation Of the Bosphorus, and by the remedying of various other grievances, hat removed the difficulties which opposed the renewal of our diplomatic relations with it, we have for this reason, and in the hope that we may succeed, in concert with our Allies, to put an end to the sufferings which afflict the East, re solved to appoint our Privy Counsellor Ribeaupierre to be our Ambassador Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Ottoman Porte." A second Ukase of the same, orders a general levy of two men out of five hundred throughout the Empire: Count Oschalowsky. Adjutant-General, set out on Sanirday, upon an estraoldinary mission, to London. HAGUE, SEPTEMBER 11. To-day, at noon, the inhabitants were much alarmed at the threat ening appearance of the atmosphere, in which various masses of clouds Were rapidly accumulated, and formed a water trout, Which has done vast damage in the environs. By the arrival of a Brazil Mail this forenoon, we re ceived Rid de Janeiro papers to the 17th of July. The Diario of the 14th of that month, contains detailed ac counts of the festivals which took place in Praia Grande, on the visit of his IMPERIAL MAJESTY to KetiEW the troops. It appears that his MAJESTY, desiring to make a general review of the corps forming the garrison of the capital, and to convince himself whether they were ready to march at die first summons, resolved that they should all cross to the other side of the river, and take up their quarters in Villa Real da Praia Grande, whither his MAJESTY himself went on the 23d of June. The particulars of the reviews, the illuminations, and entertainments for the following days, up to the 30th, are given very minutely. His MAJESTY expressed much satisfaction with the appearance and discipline of the troops. At the entertainment on the 29th of June, after the usual toasts had been drank, the EMPEROR proposed the following, which had not been announced on the cards : 46 Brazil shall be saved, or we will all die." This declaration, which is certainly very strong, is re-echoed in a Proclamation issued by the Commander of one of the regiments ; and it appears that the Bra zilians are volunteering in considerable numbers for the defence of the country. The following are further extracts: RIO JANEIRO, JULY is. Our internal enemies, who do not lose a moment in spreading reports which may cause alarm, and who lately asserted that the faithful province of Minas Ge raes refused to furnish troops and money to repel the Portuguese, who were preparing to visit us, and enslave us (if they could), will find, in the following piece, a proof of their desires: we may add, that such was the eagerness, the patriotic enthusiasm, of the brave Minei ros, that they came in crowds to declare that they were ready to march, with their sons and their property, to defend the country, and the august person of our hei o and Emperor, and his Imperial family. The Regiment of S. Joao de Rei, and, besides the 3,000 men .that his Majesty asked, there are innumera ble volunteers, some of whom have already :strived ; and we are assured that the brave Mineiros intend to raise a corps of 1,200-men at their own expense, and offer it to defend the country and the Emperor. The inhabitants of the other provinces are equally Brazilians, and we hope that the brave Mineiros will not be the only ones to immortalize themselves by this and other proofs of patriotism.—lndependence or Death must be the general cry of the Nation I • '• PROCLAMATION. 4 , The country is threatened ! Be alert brave regiment of iJautry of Caitc. resolved to march, at tht Lead of my brave comrades, wherever nece,si:y JAB re quire, to which I *ow invite themiand depend on their patriotism and valour. si We have given not only our arms but our hearts.-- Independence or Death- - -and bong live our Emperor, be our rallying cry. Tire Captains of Companies shill read this on the parade, and prepare all the Officers and soldiers to march with me, with the celerity of lightning, wherever the defence of the country shall call us ; at the first signal froth the Emperor, the soldiers of Caite H ill hasten with me to support the throne and the independ ence of Brazil.

To-day the Right Honourable Gentleman was driving about town in as open barouche, and visited several public buildings.

A young Lady made her debut on Saturday night as Peggy, in the Comedy of the Country Girl, and her first appearance on any stage. She is of the middle Stature; with a good figure, and playful cast of countenance. In sustaining the country hoyden, she manifested that ease and freedom of manner which indicated that she felt quite at home on the stage. She was most favour ably received. The new Farce of 'Twould puzzle a Con juror followed, in which Ltrrora and HARLEY kept the house in a continued roar of laughter. The whole con cluded with The Review: HARLEY was the facetious Caleb Qualms. The Rouse was full. His Maicrrir, every fine day last week,.drove in his pony-chalse, attended by his suite, froth Windsor to tirginia Water, and amused himself with angling, and on Thursday bad excellent sport.

The Earl of Limaroot. returned to town this day at noon. Earl BATHURST transacted busisess at the Colonial Office on Saturday. General Mina is completely recovered from the in• disposition with which he was afflicted when he arrived in this country. He has had the advantage during that time of the skill and attentions of Sir Astley Coopet and Dr. Gaitskell; who have both, in the . handsomest ina.' ner, refused to accept any remuneration. Saturday, Gen. Michelena, the Envoy front Mexico, and his Secretary, Mr. Rocafnerte, waited on Mr. Fletcher f the agent of General Iturbide.

It will be recollected that General Iturbida left six children in England at school. It is supposed that not less than £15,000 will have been expended upon the new Conservatory alone, at Mr Alexander Baring's magnificent seat, the tit tinge, near A lresford.
